Luka 12
1 Gene malangago bhashinkuluimana lugwinjili lwa bhandu maelupu, mpaka kuishila kulibhatana, a Yeshu gubhatandwibhe kwaalugulilanga bhaajiganywa bhabho, Mwiiteiganje na ngedule ya mapalishayo, yani ugulumba.
Ngalesosikhathi sekubuthene ixuku lezinkulungwane zabantu, sebenyathelana, uJesu waqala ukukhuluma kubafundi bakhe esithi, “Qaphelani imvubelo yabaFarisi, iyikuzenzisa.
2 Shakwapi shoshowe shiunishilwe shikaapinga unukulwa, na shoshowe shiishiywe shipinga manyika.
Kakukho okufihliweyo okungayi kuvezwa obala, lokufihliweyo okungayikwaziwa.
3 Kwa nneyo, yowe immeleketenje palubhindu, bhandunji shibhaipilikananje pa shilangaya na yowe imwanyinyitangaga nnyumba nni nng'ugelenje milango, ipinga lunguywa pa shipagala sha nyumba.
Lokho okukhulume emnyameni kuzazwakala emini lithe bha, lalokho obukunyenyezela endlebeni ezindlini zangaphakathi kuzamenyezelwa phezu kophahla lwezindlu.
4 Ngunakunnugulilanga mwashaambwiga ajangu, nnaajogopanje bhabhulaganga shiilu bhala, ikabheje bhakaakombolanga kutenda shina kupunda shenesho.
Ngiyalitshela bangane, lingabesabi labo ababulala umzimba kungabikhona okunye abangakwenza ngemva kwalokho.
5 Shininnangulanje gani apinjikwa kujogopwa. Munnjogopanje jwene akombola kubhulaga, na abhulagaga anakombola kunnjaa mundu ku moto gwa kujeanamu. Elo, ngunakummalanjilanga, munnjogopanje jwenejo. (Geenna g1067)
Kodwa ngizalitshengisa lowo okumele limesabe: Mesabeni lowo, othi esebulele umzimba, abe lamandla okuwuphosela esihogweni. Yebo, ngithi mesabeni. (Geenna g1067)
6 Bhuli ndyondyo nng'ano ikaushwa kwa ela ishokope? Ikabheje nkali jumo akalibhalika na a Nnungu.
Intaka ezinhlanu kazithengiswa ngendibilitshi ezimbili na? Kodwa kayikho lanye yazo uNkulunkulu ayilibalayo.
7 Nkali umbo ya mmitwe jenunji a Nnungu bhaimanyi pwili ilingwa. Bhai, nnajogopanje, mmanganya mmambonenji kupunda ndyondyo yaigwinji!
Ngempela, inwele zekhanda lakho zibaliwe. Lingesabi; lina liligugu ukwedlula intaka ezinengi.
8 “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe ashangunde palugwinjili, Mwana juka Mundu shankunde pa ashimalaika bha a Nnungu.
Ngiyalitshela, lowo ongivuma phambi kwabantu, iNdodana yoMuntu layo izamvuma phambi kwezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu.
9 Ikabheje, mundu jojowe angana pa bhandu najwalakwe apinga kanwa pa ashimalaika bha a Nnungu.
Kodwa lowo ongiphikayo phambi kwabantu uzaphikwa phambi kwezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu.
10 “Jojowe abheleketa malobhe ga nyata kuka Mwana juka Mundu shaleshelelwe, ikabheje akunkupulu Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akaleshelelwa.
Njalo wonke umuntu okhuluma okubi ngeNdodana yoMuntu uzathethelelwa kodwa lowo ohlambaza uMoya oNgcwele akayikuthethelelwa.
11 “Mmanganya pushibhampelekanje mmashinagogi kuukumulwa na bhatagwala na bhakulungwanji, nnakolanje lipamba lya shana bhuli pushimwitapulanje eu muubheleketelo.
Nxa limiswa phambi kwamasinagogu, phambi kwababusi labaphathi, lingazihluphi ngokuthi lizazivikela lisithini kumbe ukuthi lizakuthini,
12 Pabha popo pepo Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo shannjiganyanje sha bheleketa.”
ngoba uMoya oNgcwele uzalifundisa ngalesosikhathi lokho elifanele likutsho.”
13 Mundu jumo nnugwinjili lwa bhandu lula gwabhalugulile a Yeshu, “Mmaajiganya, munnugulile nkulwangu tugabhane ulishi gubhatuleshele atati.”
Omunye emphakathini wathi kuye, “Mfundisi, tshela umfowethu ukuthi angabele ilifa lami.”
14 A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Ambwiga, gani amishile nne kubha akimu na nkugabhanya jwenunji?”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ndoda, ngibekwe ngubani ukuba ngumahluleli kumbe umlamuli wenu?”
15 Bhai a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhowenji, “Mwiiteiganje na shilokoli shoshowe, pabha gumi uka mundu ukatamila ga gwinji gwa indu yakwete.”
Wasesithi kubo, “Qaphelani! Limukani inhlobo zonke zobuhaga; isiqokoqela sempilo yomuntu kasikho ebunengini benotho yakhe.”
16 Kungai gubhaatanjilenje lutango, “Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo tajili, atungwile yalya munngunda gwakwe.
Wasebatshela umzekeliso wathi, “Insimu yenye indoda eyayinothile yaba lenala eyesabekayo.
17 Jwene mundujo gwaganishiye muntima gwakwe, ‘Shindende bhuli na nne nangali pagosheya yalya yangu?
Yasinakana yathi, ‘Kambe ngenzeni? Angilandawo yokubeka amabele ami.’
18 Shindende nnei, shimomole nngokwe yangu na shinjenje jikulungwa, mwenemo shimishe yalya yowe na indu yangu.
Yasisithi, ‘Nanku engizakwenza. Ngizazidiliza iziphala zami ngakhe ezinkulu kulalezi, besengithela khona wonke amabele ami kanye lezinye impahla zami.
19 Penepo shiniibheleketele shamuntima, nnaino ukwete shibhiko sha pwaa yaka ya igwinji. Bhai pumulila, gwiilile na gwiing'wele na kuangalila.’
Ngizazitshela ngithi, “Usulezinto ezinengi ezinhle njalo ezizakwanela iminyaka eminengi. Kholisa impilo, udle, unathe uthokoze.”’
20 Ikabheje a Nnungu gubhannugulile, ‘Mmangumba mmwe, shilo sha lelo ntima gwenu upinga tolwa. Na indu yowe imwiibhishile ila shiibhe ikeni?’”
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuye, ‘Wena siwula ndini! Ngalobubusuku impilo yakho izathathwa. Pho ngubani ozazuza lokhu obusuzilungisele khona na?’
21 A Yeshu gubhamalishiye kwa bheleketa, “Na malinga mundu akwiibhishila indu nnyene, ikabheje kwa a Nnungu jwangali shindu.”
Yikho lokhu okuzakwenzeka kulowo ozibekela inotho kodwa enganothanga kuNkulunkulu.”
22 Kwa nneyo a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Kwa lyene ligongolyo, nnakolanje lipamba ga shalya sha lamila, wala ga iwalo.
UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: “Ngakho ngilitshela ukuthi lingakhathazeki ngokuphila kwenu, ukuthi lizakudlani kumbe ngomzimba wenu, ukuthi lizagqokani.
23 Pabha gumi ni gwa mmbone kupunda shalya, na shiilu ni sha mmbone kupunda iwalo.
Impilo iyakudlula ukudla, lomzimba uyazedlula izembatho.
24 Nngalolanje makungulu, gakapanda na gakaneng'ena na wala gangali nngokwe jojowe. Nkali nneyo a Nnungu bhanakugaliya. Mmanganya ni bhammbonenji kupunda ijuni!
Khumbulani amawabayi, kawahlanyeli, kawavuni, kawalaso isiphala kodwa uNkulunkulu uyawapha ukudla. Manje lina liqakatheke okwedlula izinyoni!
25 Gani munkumbi gwenunji kwa lajilila kwakwe akombola kwiijenjesheya kapela lyubha limo lya gumi gwakwe?
Ngubani kini othi ngokukhathazeka angezelele ihola elilodwa empilweni yakhe na?
26 Bhai, monaga nkakombolanga kutenda shindu shishoko malinga shenesho, kwa nndi nnajililanje na ganago?
Njengoba lingeke liyenze linto encinyane kangaka, lizihluphelani na ngokunengi?
27 Nnolanje malubha ga mukonde shigakuti bhulika. Gakapota wala gakaluka. Ikabheje ngunakummalanjilanga, nkali a Shelemani na shuma kwabho kowe bhangawashwa kwa konja malinga lilubha limo.
Ake libone ukuthi amaluba eganga akhula njani. Kawasebenzi njalo aweluki. Kodwa ngilitshela ukuthi laye uSolomoni ekucwebezeleni kwakhe kazange acece njengawo.
28 Bhai ibhaga, a Nnungu bhanakuliwasha nneyo liamba lya mukonde linkulibhonanga lelo na malabhi linaleshelwa pamoto, bhuli, mmanganya bhakanng'washanga kupunda genego? Mmanganya bha ngulupai jishoko!
Nxa uNkulunkulu ececisa kanjalo utshani beganga, obukhona namuhla, kusasa sebuphoselwa emlilweni, kambe uzalicecisa kanganani na, lina bokukholwa okuncinyane!
29 “Bhai nnaabhushilanje ga shalya eu ga ya papila wala nnakolanje lipamba.
Lingazihluphi ezinhliziyweni zenu ngokuthi lizakudlani kumbe lizanathani; lingakhathazeki ngalokho.
30 Pabha bhandu bhowe bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu, yeneyo peyo ni ibhaabhushilanga. Ikabheje Ainabhenunji bhamumanyi kuti mmanganya nnakwiipinganga yene induyo.
Ngoba umhlaba wabezizwe uxotshana lezinto ezinjalo, ikanti uYihlo uyazi ukuthi liyazidinga.
31 Ikabhe nng'abhushilanje oti Upalume gwa a Nnungu, na ina yowe shimpatanje.”
Kodwa funani umbuso wakhe, zonke lezizinto lizaziphiwa lazo.
32 “Nnajogopanje, mmandunji bha likundi lishoko! Pabha Ainabhenunji bhashiengwa kumpanganga Upalume gwabho.
Lingesabi, mhlambi omncane, ngoba uYihlo uthandile ukulipha umbuso.
33 Nng'ushanje indu yenunji, mmbiyayo mwaapanganje bhaalaga. Mwialashiyanje mipatila jangalala nikwiibhishila shibhiko kunnungu kuikaamala. Kweneko bhagwii bhakajinjilanga, wala mang'ong'ota gakaalibhia.
Thengisani impahla yenu liphe abampofu. Zidingeleni izikhwama ezingagugiyo, inotho ezulwini engayikuphela, lapho okungasondeli khona isela loba impehlane engabhubhisi khona.
34 Pabha pushili shibhiko shenu na ntima gwenu shigubhe popo.
Ngoba lapho okulenotho yakho khona, inhliziyo yakho layo ilapho.”
35 “Mmanganje tayali kwa liengo, na kandili yenunji ilikolela,
“Gqokani lilindele inkonzo lezibane zenu zihlale zibhebha
36 mmanganje malinga bhatumishi bhakwaalindililanga bhakulungwa bhabhonji bhabhuje kukopoka kundoa, nkupinga shangu bhaugulilanje pushibhaolishiyepo.
njengamadoda elindele inkosi yawo ukuba ibuye edilini lomthimba ukuze kuthi nxa ifika iqoqoda aphange ayivulele umnyango.
37 Mbaya bhene bhatumishi bhakulungwa bhabhonji pushibhabhuje, shibhaaimananje bhalisheyanga! Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhene bhakulungwabho shibhaibhishe ukoto kwa liengo, nikwaatamikanga bhalyanganje shalya, akuno bhalikwaatumishilanga.
Kuzakuba kuhle kulezozinceku inkosi yazo ezazifica zilindile nxa ifika. Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi yona izagqokela ukubaphakela, bona bahlale etafuleni, yona ibaphakele.
38 Nkali bhabhuje pakati shilo eu kumashelo, mbaya bhene bhatumishi bhushiaimananje bhalisheyanga!
Kuzakuba kuhle kulezozinceku inkosi yazo ezazifica zilindile loba ingabe ifika ngomlindo wesibili loba owesithathu ebusuku.
39 Mmumanyanje kuti, kaliji nnyene nyumba akagamanyi malanga ga kwiya nngwii, akasheshiye, wala akanaleshe nyumba jakwe jibhomolwe.
Kodwa zwisisani lokhu: Aluba umninindlu ubesazi ukuthi isela lizafika ngasiphi isikhathi ubengasoze ayekele indlu yakhe igqekezwe.
40 Nneila peila numbe mmanganya mmanganje muulolelo, pabha Mwana juka Mundu anakwiya malanga gunkakugalolelanga.”
Lani hlalani lilindile ngoba iNdodana yoMuntu izafika ngesikhathi elingayilindelanga ngaso.”
41 A Petili gubhaabhushiye a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa, lwene lutangolu ntutanjile uwepe, eu bhandu bhowe?”
UPhethro wabuza wathi, “Nkosi, umzekeliso lo uwuqondise kithi kumbe ebantwini bonke na?”
42 Bhakulungwa gubhajangwile, Bhai, igala gani ali nkulungwa jwa bhatumishi akwete lunda, lwa kwaatenda bhakulungwa bhakwe bhammishe kubha nkulungwa jwa bhatumishi bhabho, nkupinga abhapanganje shalya malanga ga pwaa?
INkosi yaphendula yathi, “Ngubani kambe ongumphathi othembekileyo, ohlakaniphileyo, othi inkosi yakhe imbeke ukukhangela izisebenzi zayo ukuba aziphe isabelo sazo sokudla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo?
43 Shiibhe mbaya jwene nkulungwa jwa bhatumishijo, bhakulungwa bhakwe pushibhabhujepo bhanng'imane alitenda nneyo.
Kuzakuba kuhle kuleyo nceku inkosi ezayifica isenza njalo ekuphendukeni kwayo.
44 Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shibhantende nkulungwa jwa indu yabho yowe.
Ngilitshela iqiniso, izakumbeka ukuthi aphathe yonke impahla yayo.
45 Ikabheje jwene ntumishijo aibheleketelaga sha muntima, bhakulungwa bhangu bhanakabha kubhuja, nitandubha kwaakomanga bhatumishi ajakwe, bhanabhalume na bhanabhakongwe, nilya na ng'wa na kolelwa,
Kodwa cabanga nxa inceku ingazitshela ithi, ‘Inkosi yami isiphuzile ukubuya,’ ibisiqalisa ukutshaya ezinye izisebenzi zesilisa lezesifazane, ibisisidla, inatha idakwe.
46 bhakulungwa bhakwe shibhabhuje lyubha lyangalilolela na malanga gangagamanya, shibhanngabhanye ipande ibhili, nikummika pamo na bhangakulupalikanga.
Inkosi yaleyonceku izabuya ngosuku engacatshangelwa khona langesikhathi inceku engasaziyo. Izayiqumaquma iyiphe indawo phakathi kwabangakholwayo.
47 Ntumishi akugamanya gubhapinga bhakulungwa bhakwe, ikabhe akaatenda ibhapinga, shapanyangulwe kaje.
Leyonceku ethi ikwazi okufunwa yinkosi yayo kodwa ingalindi kumbe ingalungisi lokho inkosi yayo ekufunayo izatshaywa okuzwayo.
48 Ikabheje akakumumanya jula, atendaga ya kummulaya apanyangulwe, shapanyangulwe kashoko. Jojowe apegwilwe yaigwinji, shalongwe yaigwinji, akulupalilwe kwa yaigwinji, shiipinjikwe yaigwinji.
Kodwa lowo ongaziyo njalo owenza izinto eziholela ekubhujisweni uzatshaywa mbijana. Kulowo ophiwe okunengi, kuzafuneka okunengi kuye; lakulowo ogciniswe okunengi, kuzafuneka okunengi kulalokho.”
49 “Njikwiya koleya moto pa shilambolyo, mbaya ukaliji ukoleywe!
“Ngilande ukuzalumathisa umlilo emhlabeni, ngize ngifise ukuthi ngabe uvele usungunguma!
50 Ikabheje njikola ubhatisho gungupinjikwa matishwe, ngunapupa ntima mpaka gwene ubhatishogo umalile!
Kodwa ngiseselobhaphathizo okusamele ngilungene, kodwa ngikhathazekile kakhulu kuze kugcwaliseke lokho!
51 Punkuganishiyanga nyile peleka ulele pa shilambolyo? Wala kashoko, nngabha ulele ikabhe malekano.
Licabanga ukuthi ngalanda ukuletha ukuthula emhlabeni na? Hatshi, zwanini, ngalanda ukuzehlukanisa.
52 Na kutandubhila nnaino, bhandunji nng'ano bha likaja limo bhapinga taukangana, bhatatu kwa bhabhili, na bhabhili kwa bhatatu.
Kusukela manje bazakuthi bebahlanu emulini behlukane, abathathu bexabana lababili, lababili bexabana labathathu.
53 Ainamundu shibhantaushe mwanagwabho, na mwana shabhataushe ainagwe, anyinamundu shibhantaushe mwali jwabho, na jwalakwe mwali shabhataushe akwabhe, akwemundu shibhantaushe nkamwanagwabho na nkamwanamundu shabhataushe akwebhakwe.”
Bazakwehlukana, uyise axabane lendodana, indodana ixabane loyise, unina lendodakazi, indodakazi ixabane lonina, uninazala axabane lomalukazana, umalukazana loninazala.”
54 A Yeshu gubhabhekete kabhili na lugwinjili, “Punkugabhonanga maunde galikoposhela kulititimila lyubha, shangupe nnabheleketanga, ‘Shijinye ula,’ na jinanya.
Wathi exukwini labantu: “Lithi lingabona iyezi liqhamuka entshonalanga liphange lithi, ‘Izulu lizakuna,’ lakanye line.
55 Nnjibhonangaga mbungo ja kwibhanda jinipuga, nnabheleketanga, ‘Kupingabhala lyubha,’ na pwikubha nneyo peyo.
Kuthi kungavunguza umoya weningizimu lithi, ‘Kuzatshisa,’ lakanye kube njalo.
56 Mmanganya mmagulumba! Nnamanyanga kulondola kunya kwa ula eu kubhala kwa lyubha, kwa lola shilambo na kunani, bhai kwa nndi nkakujimanyanga jene miongwe jino?
Bazenzisi! Liyakwazi ukuchaza izibonakaliso zomhlaba lezomkhathi. Kungani pho lingakwazi ukuchaza isikhathi lesi esikuso na?
57 “Kwa nndi mwaashayene nkaamuanga kutenda ya aki?
Kungani kanti lingaziboneli lina ngokwenu okuyikho okulungileyo na?
58 Monaga mmagongo nnjenu alikwenda kunshitakiya, mbaya kujuga kuleshelelwa nninginji mumpanda, nkupinga anampeleshe ku bhaukumula, na bhaukumula bhanakunkamuya kwa ashimanjola, na bhalakwe ashimanjola bhanakuntabha.
Nxa uhamba lalowo okumangalelayo lisiya kumahluleli, zama ngamandla ukuthi liqedelane lisesendleleni, funa akudonsele kumahluleli, lomahluleli abesekudlulisela enxuseni lona inxusa likuthele entolongweni.
59 Kweli ngunakummalanjila nkakopoka mwenemo, mpaka nnipe mmbiya ja malishiya.”
Ngiyakutshela, kawusoze uphume uze uhlawule kanye lohlamvana lokucina lwemali.”
