Luka 18
1 A LAILA ao mai la oia ia lakou ma ka olelonane, he pono ke pule mau, aole e hoonawauwali.
UJesu wasetshela abafundi bakhe umzekeliso ukubatshengisa ukuthi kumele bakhuleke kokuphela bangadinwa.
2 I mai la ia, Ma kekahi kulanakauhale he lunakanawai, aole ia i makau i ke Akua, aole hoi i manao i kanaka.
Wathi, “Kwelinye idolobho kwakulomahluli owayengamesabi uNkulunkulu njalo engakhathaleli muntu.
3 A ma kela kulanakauhale kekahi wahinekanemake; a hele mai la ia io na la, i mai la, E hoopono mai oe ia'u i ko'u enemi.
Kwakukhona umfelokazi kulelodolobho owayehlezi esiza kuye kokuphela emncenga esithi, ‘Akungincede ngalowo engixabana laye.’
4 Aole ae la hoi ia i makemake ia manawa; a mahope iho, i iho la oia iloko ona, Aole o'u makau i ke Akua, aole o'u manao i kanaka;
Okwesikhathi eside umahluli wayesala. Kodwa wacina esithi, ‘Loba ngingamesabi uNkulunkulu njalo ngingakhathali ngomuntu,
5 Aka hoi, no ko noi nui ana mai o keia wahinekanemake ia'u, e hoopono aku au ia ia nei, o hooluhi mai ia ia'u i kona hele pinepine ana mai.
kodwa ngenxa yokuthi umfelokazi lo usengijinge kakhulu sengizamlungisela ukuthi angaze abuya anginenge ngoba elokhu engilanda!’”
6 I mai la hoi ka Haku, E lohe oukou i ka mea a ka lunakanawai pono ole i olelo mai ai.
Njalo iNkosi yasisithi, “Likuzwisise lokho okutshiwo ngumahluli ongalunganga.
7 A o ke Akua hoi, aole anei ia e hoopono mai i kona poe i waeia, ka poe kahea ia ia i ke ao a me ka po, me ka ahanui hoi ia lakou?
Kambe uNkulunkulu kayikubalwela yini abakhethiweyo bakhe, abakhuleka kuye imini lobusuku? Uzabe elokhu ebanina yini?
8 Ke hai aku nei au ia oukou, e hoopono koke mai no oia ia lakou. Aka hoi, i ka hiki ana mai o ke Keiki a ke kanaka, e ike anei oia ma ka honua ia manaoio?
Ngiyalitshela, uzabalwela, njalo masinyane. Kodwa, nxa iNdodana yoMuntu isifika, izakufumana ukukholwa emhlabeni na?”
9 Alaila olelo mai la oia i keia olelonane i kekahi poe i manao ia lakou iho he maikai, a hoowahawaha aku ia hai.
Kulabo ababezethemba ngokulunga kwabo beseyisa abanye, uJesu wakhuluma umzekeliso lo wathi:
10 Hele ae la na kanaka elua i ka luakini e pule; he Parisaio kekahi, a he lunaauhau kekahi.
“Amadoda amabili aya ethempelini ukuyakhuleka, omunye engumFarisi njalo omunye engumthelisi.
11 Ku aku la ka Parisaio oia iho no, a pule aku la penei, E ke Akua, ke aloha aku nei au ia oe, no ka mea, aole au e like me na kanaka e, ka poe hookaha, ka poe pono ole, ka poe moe kolohe, aole hoi me keia lunaauhau.
UmFarisi wasukuma wakhuleka ngalokho ayeyikho khona wathi: ‘Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ukuthi kanginjengabanye abantu, izigebenga, izixhwali, izifebe njalo kangifani lomthelisi lo.
12 Elua ko'u hookeai ana i ka hebedoma hookahi, ua haawi hoi au i ka hapaumi o ko'u waiwai a pau.
Ngizila kabili ngeviki njalo nginikela okwetshumi okwenzuzo yami yonke.’
13 A o ka lunaauhau hoi, ku mamao aku la ia, aole hoi i leha iki kona mau maka i ka lani, aka, papai iho la ia ma kona umauma iho, i aku la, E ke Akua, e aloha mai oe ia'u i ka mea i hewa.
Kodwa umthelisi wema bucwadlana laye. Wesaba lokukhangela ezulwini kodwa wazehlisa kakhulu wathi, ‘Nkulunkulu, woba lesihawu kimi, ngiyisoni.’
14 Ke hai aku nei au ia oukou, Oia ka mea i iho i kona hale me ka hoaponoia, aole kela: no ka mea, o ka mea i hookiekie ae ia ia iho, oia ke hoohaahaaia; a o ka mea i hoohaahaa ia ia iho, oia ke hookiekieia'e.
Ngiyalitshela ukuthi indoda le, hatshi leyana enye, yabuyela ekhaya isilungisiwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba lowo oziphakamisayo uzakwehliswa, lozehlisayo uzaphakanyiswa.”
15 Alaila lawe ae la lakou i na kamalii uuku ia ia e hoopa oia ia lakou; a ike ka poe haumana, papa aku la lakou ia lakou la.
Abantu njalo babeletha abantwana kuJesu ukuthi ababeke izandla. Abafundi bonela ukukubona lokhu babakhuza.
16 Aka, kahea mai la Iesu ia lakou e hele mat, i mai la, E ae aka i na kamalii e hele mai io'a net, mai hoole aka ia lakou; no ka mea, no ka poe me neia ke aupuni o ke Akua.
Kodwa uJesu wabizela kuye abantwana wathi, “Yekelani abantwana beze kimi, lingabavimbeli ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanjengalaba.
17 He oiaio ka'u e olelo aka nei ia oukou, O ka mea aole i hoolauna i ke aupuni o ke Akua me he keiki uuku la, aole loa oia e komo ilaila.
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, lowo ongayikwemukela umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane kayikungena kuwo.”
18 Alaila ninau aka la kekahi alii ia ia, E ke Kumu maikai, heaha ka'u e hana'i i loaa mai ai ia'u ke ola pau ole. (aiōnios g166)
Umbusi othile wambuza wathi, “Mfundisi olungileyo, ngingenzani ukuze ngizuze ilifa lokuphila kwaphakade na?” (aiōnios g166)
19 A i mai la o Iesu ia ia, No ke aha la oe i kapa mai ai ia'u he maikai? Hookahi wale no mea maikai, o ke Akua.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ungibizelani ngokuthi ngilungile na? Kakho olungileyo ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu kuphela.
20 Ua ike hoi oe i na kanawai; Mai moe kolohe oe; Mai pepehi kanaka oe; Mai aihue oe; Mai hoike wahahee oe; E malama i kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine.
Uyayazi imilayo: ‘Ungafebi, ungabulali muntu, ungebi, ungaphi ubufakazi bamanga, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.’”
21 A i aku la oia, Ua malama au i keia mau mea a pau mai kuu wa kamalii mai.
Wathi umbusi, “Yonke le ngiyigcine kusukela ebutsheni bami.”
22 A lohe ae la o Iesu ia, i mai la oia ia ia, Hookahi au mea hemahema; e kuai lilo aku i kou waiwai a pau, a e haawi i ka poe ilihune, a e loaa ia oe ka waiwai ma ka lani; alaila e hele mai a hahai mai ia'u.
UJesu esekuzwile lokho wathi kuye, “Usasilele into eyodwa. Thengisa konke olakho uphe abampofu, lapho-ke inotho yakho izakuba sezulwini. Ubusubuya ungilandele.”
23 A lohe ae la oia ia mea, minamina loa iho la ia; no ka mea, he nui loa kona waiwai.
Wathi esezwe lokhu wadana kakhulu ngoba wayeyindoda eyayinothe kakhulu.
24 Ike ae la hoi Iesu i kona minamina loa ana, i mai la ia Ane hiki ole i ka poe waiwai ke komo iloko o ke aupuni o ke Akua?
UJesu wamkhangela wathi, “Koba nzima kakhulu ukuthi isinothi singene embusweni kaNkulunkulu!
25 E hiki i ke kamelo ke komo e i ka puka o ke kuikele mamua o ke komo ana o ke kanaka waiwai iloko o ke aupuni o ke Akua.
Ngempela kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene embotsheni yenalithi kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo awungene umbuso kaNkulunkulu.”
26 I iho la hoi ka poe e lohe ana, E hiki hoi ia wai la ke hoolaia?
Labo abakuzwayo lokho babuza bathi, “Ngubani pho ongasindiswa?”
27 I mai la hoi Iesu, O na mea hiki ole i kanaka, e hiki no ia i ke Akua.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lokho okungenzekiyo emandleni abantu kuyenzakala kwakaNkulunkulu.”
28 Alaila i aku la o Petero, Eia hoi, oa haalele makou i na mea a pau, a oa hahai aka ia oe.
UPhethro wathi kuye, “Sesadela konke esasilakho sakulandela!”
29 I mai la hoi oia ia lakou, He oiaio ka'u a olelo aku nei ia oukou, O ka mea i haalele i ka hale, a me na makua, a me na hoahanau, a me ka wahine, a me na keiki no ke aupuni o ke Akua,
UJesu wathi kubo, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi kakho osetshiye ikhaya loba umfazi kumbe abafowabo loba abazali kumbe abantwana ngenxa yombuso kaNkulunkulu
31 A lawe ae la oia i ka umikumamalua, i mai la ia lakou, Eia hoi, e pii ana kakou i Ierusalema, a e hookoia na mea a pau i kakauia e ka poe kaula no ke Keiki a ke kanaka.
UJesu wasebizela abalitshumi lambili eceleni wabatshela wathi, “Sesisiya eJerusalema lapho konke okulotshwe ngabaphrofethi ngeNdodana yoMuntu sekusiya gcwaliseka.
32 No ka mea, e haawiia'ku oia i kanaka e, a e hoomaewaewaia mai, a e hoomaauia mai, a e kuhaia mai hoi:
Izanikelwa kwabeZizwe. Bazayihoza, bayithuke, bayikhafulele, bayibhule njalo bayibulale.
33 A e hahau mai lakou ia ia, a e pepehi mai ia ia a make; a i ke kolu o ka la, e ala hou mai ia.
Ngosuku lwesithathu izavuka.”
34 Aka, aole lakou i hoomaopopo ia mau mea; ua hunaia hoi ia lakou keia olelo, aole lakou i ike i ke ano o na mea i oleloia mai
Abafundi kabazange bakuzwisise konke lokhu. Ingcazelo yakho yayifihlakele kubo yikho kabazanga ukuthi wayekhuluma ngani.
35 Eia kekahi, i kona hookkoke ana i Ieriko, e noho ana kekahi makapo ma kapa alanui e nonoi ana.
UJesu esebanga eJerikho kwakulendoda eyisiphofu eyisiceli ihlezi eceleni kwendlela icela.
36 A lohe ae la i ka ahakanaka e hele ae ana, ninau mai la ia i ke ano o ia mea.
Yathi isizwa kudlula ixuku labantu yabuza ukuthi kuyini okwakusenzakala.
37 Hai aku la no hoi lakou ia ia, e maalo ana'e o Iesu no Nazareta.
Bayitshela bathi, “UJesu waseNazaretha uyedlula khonapha.”
38 Alaila kahea ae la ia, i ae la, E Iesu ke Keiki a Davida, e aloha mai oa ia'u!
Yamemeza yathi, “Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida, ake ungihawukele!”
39 A o ka poe e hele mua ana, papa iho la lakou ia ia e noho malie. Aka, kahea nui hou ae la ia, E ke Keiki a Davida, o aloha mai oe ia'u.
Labo ababehamba phambili bayikhuza bathi kayithule, kodwa yona yasimemeza ngamandla yathi, “Ndodana kaDavida ake ungihawukele!”
40 Ku malie iho la hoi o Iesu, hookina ae la e kaiia mai io na la; a kokoke aku la, ninau mai oia ia ia,
UJesu wema wathi indoda leyo ilethwe kuye. Isifikile uJesu wayibuza wathi,
41 I mai la, He aha kou makemake e hana aku ai au ia oe? I aku la hoi oia, I ike au, e ka Haku.
“Ufuna ukuthi ngikwenzeleni?” Yaphendula yathi, “Nkosi, ngifuna ukuthi ngibone.”
42 A i mai la o Iesu ia ia, E ike oe, ua ola oe i kou manaoio.
UJesu wathi kuyo, “Kuzuze-ke ukubona; ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.”
43 A ike koke iho la no ia, a hahai aku la oia ia ia, me ka hoonani aku i ke Akua: a o ka poe kanaka a pau e ike ana, hoolea aku la lakou i ke Akua.
Masinyane yahle yabona, yasimlandela uJesu idumisa uNkulunkulu. Kwathi bonke abantu bekubona lokho, labo bamdumisa uNkulunkulu.
