Luka 18
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Yesu do lo sia na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be wòatsɔ fia wo be ehiã be woanɔ gbedodoɖa dzi ɖaa, eye ɖeɖi megate wo ŋu o.
UJesu wasetshela abafundi bakhe umzekeliso ukubatshengisa ukuthi kumele bakhuleke kokuphela bangadinwa.
2 Egblɔ na wo be, “Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la aɖe nɔ du gã aɖe me. Ame sia mevɔ̃a Mawu o, eye mebua ame aɖeke hã ɖe naneke me o.
Wathi, “Kwelinye idolobho kwakulomahluli owayengamesabi uNkulunkulu njalo engakhathaleli muntu.
3 Ahosi aɖe si hã nɔ dua me la vaa ʋɔnudrɔ̃la sia gbɔ gbe sia gbe va nɔ kuku ɖem nɛ be, ‘Ɖem le nye ketɔ si me.’
Kwakukhona umfelokazi kulelodolobho owayehlezi esiza kuye kokuphela emncenga esithi, ‘Akungincede ngalowo engixabana laye.’
4 “Hena ɣeyiɣi aɖe la, egbe be yemaɖo toe o. Ke mlɔeba la, egblɔ na eɖokui be, ‘Togbɔ be nyemevɔ̃a Mawu alo bua amewo ɖe naneke me o hã la,
Okwesikhathi eside umahluli wayesala. Kodwa wacina esithi, ‘Loba ngingamesabi uNkulunkulu njalo ngingakhathali ngomuntu,
5 le ahosi sia ƒe fuɖeɖe nam atraɖii ta la, makpɔ egbɔ be wotrɔ nu si nye etɔ la nɛ ale be magana be nu nati kɔ nam mlɔeba la le eƒe fuɖeɖe nam ta o!’”
kodwa ngenxa yokuthi umfelokazi lo usengijinge kakhulu sengizamlungisela ukuthi angaze abuya anginenge ngoba elokhu engilanda!’”
6 Aƒetɔ la yi edzi be, “Mise nu si ʋɔnudrɔ̃la madzɔmadzɔ la gblɔ.
Njalo iNkosi yasisithi, “Likuzwisise lokho okutshiwo ngumahluli ongalunganga.
7 Miebu be Mawu matso afia na eƒe ame tiatia siwo le kuku ɖem nɛ zã kple keli la oa? Ɖe magbɔ dzi ɖi na wo oa?
Kambe uNkulunkulu kayikubalwela yini abakhethiweyo bakhe, abakhuleka kuye imini lobusuku? Uzabe elokhu ebanina yini?
8 Mele egblɔm na mi be aɖe wo enumake. Gake biabia lae nye be nenye be Nye, Amegbetɔ Vi la metrɔ gbɔ ɖe, ame neni makpɔ siwo ƒe xɔse anɔ te le anyigba dzi?”
Ngiyalitshela, uzabalwela, njalo masinyane. Kodwa, nxa iNdodana yoMuntu isifika, izakufumana ukukholwa emhlabeni na?”
9 Azɔ Yesu do lo sia na ame siwo dana be yewonye ame dzɔdzɔewo, eye womekpɔa ame bubu ɖe naneke me o la be,
Kulabo ababezethemba ngokulunga kwabo beseyisa abanye, uJesu wakhuluma umzekeliso lo wathi:
10 “Ame eve aɖewo yi gbedoxɔ me be yewoado gbe ɖa. Ɖeka nye Farisitɔ, eye evelia nye nudzɔla aɖe.
“Amadoda amabili aya ethempelini ukuyakhuleka, omunye engumFarisi njalo omunye engumthelisi.
11 Farisitɔ la do gbe ɖa be, ‘Meda akpe na Mawu be nyemenye nu vɔ̃ wɔla abe ame bubuwo ene o, adzodalawo, ame madzɔmadzɔwo, ahasiwɔlawo, vevietɔ abe nudzɔla si le afi mɛ ɖa ene o.
UmFarisi wasukuma wakhuleka ngalokho ayeyikho khona wathi: ‘Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ukuthi kanginjengabanye abantu, izigebenga, izixhwali, izifebe njalo kangifani lomthelisi lo.
12 Metsia nu dɔna zi eve le kɔsiɖa ɖeka me, eye metsɔa nye nukpɔkpɔwo ƒe ewolia naa Mawu.’
Ngizila kabili ngeviki njalo nginikela okwetshumi okwenzuzo yami yonke.’
13 “Gake nudzɔla la nɔ tsitre ɖe adzɔge afi aɖe ke, eye melɔ̃ be yeawu mo hã dzi akpɔ dziƒo o; ke boŋ eƒo akɔta hegblɔ be, ‘Mawu, kpɔ nublanui na nye nu vɔ̃ wɔla sia.’
Kodwa umthelisi wema bucwadlana laye. Wesaba lokukhangela ezulwini kodwa wazehlisa kakhulu wathi, ‘Nkulunkulu, woba lesihawu kimi, ngiyisoni.’
14 Mele egblɔm na mi be nudzɔla sia trɔ yi aƒe me kple dzidzɔ, elabena Mawu tso afia nɛ. Ke wometsɔ Farisitɔ la ƒe nu vɔ̃ kee o, elabena woabɔbɔ dadalawo katã ɖe anyi eye woado ame siwo bɔbɔa wo ɖokui la ɖe dzi.”
Ngiyalitshela ukuthi indoda le, hatshi leyana enye, yabuyela ekhaya isilungisiwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba lowo oziphakamisayo uzakwehliswa, lozehlisayo uzaphakanyiswa.”
15 Gbe ɖeka la, dzila aɖewo kplɔ wo viwo vɛ be Yesu nada asi ɖe wo dzi ayra wo. Gake esi nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔ esia la, wonya wo be womegaɖe fu na Aƒetɔ la o.
Abantu njalo babeletha abantwana kuJesu ukuthi ababeke izandla. Abafundi bonela ukukubona lokhu babakhuza.
16 Ke Yesu yɔ ɖeviawo va eɖokui gbɔe, eye wògblɔ be, “Mina ɖevi suewo nava gbɔnye, eye migaxe mɔ na wo o, elabena ame sia tɔgbiwo tɔe nye mawufiaɖuƒe la.
Kodwa uJesu wabizela kuye abantwana wathi, “Yekelani abantwana beze kimi, lingabavimbeli ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanjengalaba.
17 Le nyateƒe me la, mele egblɔm na mi be ame si maxɔ mawufiaɖuƒe la abe ɖevi sue ene o la mage ɖe eme gbeɖe o.”
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, lowo ongayikwemukela umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane kayikungena kuwo.”
18 Gbe ɖeka la, Yudatɔwo ƒe kplɔla ɖeka biae be, “Nufiala nyui, nu ka tututu wòle be mawɔ hafi ate ŋu anyi agbe mavɔ dome?” (aiōnios g166)
Umbusi othile wambuza wathi, “Mfundisi olungileyo, ngingenzani ukuze ngizuze ilifa lokuphila kwaphakade na?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu biae be, “Ebu be ènya nu si gblɔm nèle esi nèyɔm be ame nyuia? Le nyateƒe me la, ame aɖeke menyo o, negbe Mawu ɖeka ko.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ungibizelani ngokuthi ngilungile na? Kakho olungileyo ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu kuphela.
20 Ke le wò biabia ŋu la, magblɔ be ènya seawo xoxo be, ‘Mègawɔ ahasi o, mègafi fi o, mègawu ame o, mègada alakpa o, bu fofowò kple dawò kple bubuawo.’”
Uyayazi imilayo: ‘Ungafebi, ungabulali muntu, ungebi, ungaphi ubufakazi bamanga, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.’”
21 Ŋutsua ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mewɔ ɖe se siawo katã dzi tso keke nye ɖevime ke.”
Wathi umbusi, “Yonke le ngiyigcine kusukela ebutsheni bami.”
22 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Esusɔ nu vevi ɖeka nàwɔ, yi nàdzra nu siwo katã le asiwò, eye nàtsɔ ga la na ame dahewo; esia anye kesinɔnu na wò le dziƒo, ekema va nàdze yonyeme.”
UJesu esekuzwile lokho wathi kuye, “Usasilele into eyodwa. Thengisa konke olakho uphe abampofu, lapho-ke inotho yakho izakuba sezulwini. Ubusubuya ungilandele.”
23 Gake esi ŋutsua se nya sia la, etrɔ dzo nublanuitɔe, elabena kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe wònye.
Wathi esezwe lokhu wadana kakhulu ngoba wayeyindoda eyayinothe kakhulu.
24 Yesu nɔ eyome kpɔm esi wòyina, eye wògblɔ be, “Asesẽ na kesinɔtɔ ŋutɔ be wòage ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me!
UJesu wamkhangela wathi, “Koba nzima kakhulu ukuthi isinothi singene embusweni kaNkulunkulu!
25 Anɔ bɔbɔe na kposɔ be wòato abi ƒe vo me ado, tsɔ wu be kesinɔtɔ nage ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me.”
Ngempela kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene embotsheni yenalithi kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo awungene umbuso kaNkulunkulu.”
26 Ame siwo le afi ma se nya si wògblɔ la gblɔ be, “Nenye be esesẽ alea ɖe, ekema ame ka koŋ ate ŋu akpɔ ɖeɖe sia?”
Labo abakuzwayo lokho babuza bathi, “Ngubani pho ongasindiswa?”
27 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Mawu ate ŋu awɔ nu si amegbetɔ mate ŋu awɔ o!”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lokho okungenzekiyo emandleni abantu kuyenzakala kwakaNkulunkulu.”
28 Petro gblɔ nɛ be, “Míawo la, míegblẽ míaƒe aƒewo kple nu sia nu ɖi dze yowòme.”
UPhethro wathi kuye, “Sesadela konke esasilakho sakulandela!”
29 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Esia le eme vavã, eye ame sia ame si gblẽ eƒe aƒe, srɔ̃a, nɔviawo, dzilawo alo viawo ɖi ɖe mawufiaɖuƒea ta la,
UJesu wathi kubo, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi kakho osetshiye ikhaya loba umfazi kumbe abafowabo loba abazali kumbe abantwana ngenxa yombuso kaNkulunkulu
31 Azɔ Yesu yɔ nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo va eɖokui gbɔ, gblɔ na wo be, “Abe ale si mienyae ene la, míeyina Yerusalem. Ne míeɖo afi ma la, nyagblɔɖi siwo katã nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ ɖi tso Amegbetɔ Vi la ŋu la le eme va ge.
UJesu wasebizela abalitshumi lambili eceleni wabatshela wathi, “Sesisiya eJerusalema lapho konke okulotshwe ngabaphrofethi ngeNdodana yoMuntu sekusiya gcwaliseka.
32 Woatsɔm ade asi na Ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo be woaɖu fewu le ŋunye, ado ŋukpem nyuie, woaɖe ta ɖe ŋunye,
Izanikelwa kwabeZizwe. Bazayihoza, bayithuke, bayikhafulele, bayibhule njalo bayibulale.
33 aƒom, eye woawum. Eye le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, mafɔ tso ku me.”
Ngosuku lwesithathu izavuka.”
34 Nusrɔ̃lawo mese eƒe nya siwo wògblɔ la ɖeka pɛ hã gɔme o, elabena edze abe ele nu ƒom na wo le lododo me ene.
Abafundi kabazange bakuzwisise konke lokhu. Ingcazelo yakho yayifihlakele kubo yikho kabazanga ukuthi wayekhuluma ngani.
35 Esi wote tu Yeriko la, wokpɔ nubiala ŋkuagbãtɔ aɖe wònɔ mɔ to nɔ nu biam le mɔzɔlawo si.
UJesu esebanga eJerikho kwakulendoda eyisiphofu eyisiceli ihlezi eceleni kwendlela icela.
36 Esi wòse ameha ŋkɔ wòva yina la, ebia be wòagblɔ nu si nɔ dzɔdzɔm la na ye.
Yathi isizwa kudlula ixuku labantu yabuza ukuthi kuyini okwakusenzakala.
37 Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Yesu Nazaretitɔ lae va yina.”
Bayitshela bathi, “UJesu waseNazaretha uyedlula khonapha.”
38 Ale wode asi ɣlidodo me be, “Yesu David Vi la, kpɔ nye nublanui!”
Yamemeza yathi, “Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida, ake ungihawukele!”
39 Ame siwo nɔ Yesu ŋgɔ la blu ɖe eta be wòazi ɖoɖoe, gake ɖeko wògado ɣlia sesĩe wu be, “David Vi, kpɔ nye nublanui.”
Labo ababehamba phambili bayikhuza bathi kayithule, kodwa yona yasimemeza ngamandla yathi, “Ndodana kaDavida ake ungihawukele!”
40 Esi Yesu va ɖo afi si wònɔ la, etɔ, eye wògblɔ be, “Mikplɔ ŋkuagbãtɔ ma va afii.”
UJesu wema wathi indoda leyo ilethwe kuye. Isifikile uJesu wayibuza wathi,
41 Esi wòva la, Yesu biae be, “Nu ka dim nèle tso asinye?” Ŋkuagbãtɔ la ɖe kuku nɛ gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ medi be makpɔ nu!”
“Ufuna ukuthi ngikwenzeleni?” Yaphendula yathi, “Nkosi, ngifuna ukuthi ngibone.”
42 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Enyo wò ŋkuwo neʋu nakpɔ nu. Wò xɔse da gbe le ŋuwò.”
UJesu wathi kuyo, “Kuzuze-ke ukubona; ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.”
43 Ŋutsua de asi nukpɔkpɔ me enumake, eye wòdze Yesu yome henɔ Mawu kafum. Ame siwo katã kpɔ nu si dzɔ la hã kafu Mawu.
Masinyane yahle yabona, yasimlandela uJesu idumisa uNkulunkulu. Kwathi bonke abantu bekubona lokho, labo bamdumisa uNkulunkulu.
