ULukha 16
1 UJesu watshela abafundi bakhe wathi, “Kwakulendoda eyayinothile ilomphathi owetheswa icala lokuthi wayechithachithe inotho yayo.
aparañca yīśuḥ śiṣyebhyonyāmekāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa kasyacid dhanavato manuṣyasya gṛhakāryyādhīśe sampatterapavyaye'pavādite sati
2 Yambiza yambuza yathi, ‘Kuyini lokhu engikuzwayo ngawe? Landisa kuhle ukuthi uhambisa njani izinto ngoba ungeke usaba ngumphathi njalo.’
tasya prabhustam āhūya jagāda, tvayi yāmimāṁ kathāṁ śṛṇomi sā kīdṛśī? tvaṁ gṛhakāryyādhīśakarmmaṇo gaṇanāṁ darśaya gṛhakāryyādhīśapade tvaṁ na sthāsyasi|
3 Umphathi wazibuza wathi, ‘Ngizakuthini? Inkosi yami isingithathela umsebenzi wami. Kangilamandla okugebha, njalo ngilenhloni zokucela.
tadā sa gṛhakāryyādhīśo manasā cintayāmāsa, prabhu ryadi māṁ gṛhakāryyādhīśapadād bhraṁśayati tarhi kiṁ kariṣye'haṁ? mṛdaṁ khanituṁ mama śakti rnāsti bhikṣituñca lajjiṣye'haṁ|
4 Ngiyazi engizakwenza ukuthi nxa ngilahlekelwa ngumsebenzi wami abantu bangamukele ezindlini zabo.’
ataeva mayi gṛhakāryyādhīśapadāt cyute sati yathā lokā mahyam āśrayaṁ dāsyanti tadarthaṁ yatkarmma mayā karaṇīyaṁ tan nirṇīyate|
5 Ngakho yasibiza labo ababelezikwelede enkosini yayo munye ngamunye yathi, kowokuqala, ‘Isikwelede sakho enkosini yami singakanani?’
paścāt sa svaprabhorekaikam adhamarṇam āhūya prathamaṁ papraccha, tvatto me prabhuṇā kati prāpyam?
6 Wathi, ‘Ngamalitha amafutha e-oliva azinkulungwane ezine.’ Umphathi wamtshela wathi, ‘Phangisa, thatha incwadi yakho yesikwelede ubhale izinkulungwane ezimbili.’
tataḥ sa uvāca, ekaśatāḍhakatailāni; tadā gṛhakāryyādhīśaḥ provāca, tava patramānīya śīghramupaviśya tatra pañcāśataṁ likha|
7 Yasibuza owesibili yathi, ‘Wena ulesikwelede esingakanani?’ Wathi, ‘Yimigodla yengqoloyi eyinkulungwane.’ Yamtshela yathi, ‘Thatha incwadi yakho yesikwelede ubhale amakhulu ayisificaminwembili.’
paścādanyamekaṁ papraccha, tvatto me prabhuṇā kati prāpyam? tataḥ sovādīd ekaśatāḍhakagodhūmāḥ; tadā sa kathayāmāsa, tava patramānīya aśītiṁ likha|
8 Inkosi yamncoma lowomphathi owayeliqili ngoba wayenze ukuhlakanipha. Ngoba abantu balumhlaba balezindledlana zabo zokuhlakanipha ekuphathaneni kwabo ukwedlula abantu bokukhanya. (aiōn g165)
tenaiva prabhustamayathārthakṛtam adhīśaṁ tadbuddhinaipuṇyāt praśaśaṁsa; itthaṁ dīptirūpasantānebhya etatsaṁsārasya santānā varttamānakāle'dhikabuddhimanto bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
9 Ngiyalitshela ngithi, sebenzisani inotho yomhlaba ukuzuza abangane ukuze kuthi nxa isiphelile lamukeleke ezindlini ezimi laphakade. (aiōnios g166)
ato vadāmi yūyamapyayathārthena dhanena mitrāṇi labhadhvaṁ tato yuṣmāsu padabhraṣṭeṣvapi tāni cirakālam āśrayaṁ dāsyanti| (aiōnios g166)
10 Lowo othembeke kokuncinyane uzakwethembeka njalo kokunengi, ikanti lowo ongathembekanga kokuncinyane angeke njalo athembeke kokunengi.
yaḥ kaścit kṣudre kāryye viśvāsyo bhavati sa mahati kāryyepi viśvāsyo bhavati, kintu yaḥ kaścit kṣudre kāryye'viśvāsyo bhavati sa mahati kāryyepyaviśvāsyo bhavati|
11 Ngakho-ke, nxa lingathembekanga ekuphatheni inotho yasemhlabeni, pho ngubani ongalithemba ngenotho yeqiniso na?
ataeva ayathārthena dhanena yadi yūyamaviśvāsyā jātāstarhi satyaṁ dhanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ kareṣu kaḥ samarpayiṣyati?
12 Njalo nxa belingathembekanga ngempahla yomunye umuntu, ngubani kambe ozalipha impahla ibe ngeyenu na?
yadi ca paradhanena yūyam aviśvāsyā bhavatha tarhi yuṣmākaṁ svakīyadhanaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ ko dāsyati?
13 Kakulanceku engakhonza amakhosi amabili. Funa izonde enye kodwa ithande enye, kumbe izinikele kwenye yeyise enye. Ngezake likhonze uNkulunkulu lemali ngokufanayo.”

14 AbaFarisi ababethanda imali bakuzwa konke lokhu, bamklolodela uJesu.
tadaitāḥ sarvvāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā lobhiphirūśinastamupajahasuḥ|
15 Wathi kubo, “Yini elizigezayo emehlweni abantu kodwa uNkulunkulu uyazazi inhliziyo zenu. Lokho okuligugu ebantwini kuyisinengiso kuNkulunkulu.”
tataḥ sa uvāca, yūyaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ nikaṭe svān nirdoṣān darśayatha kintu yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇānīśvaro jānāti, yat manuṣyāṇām ati praśaṁsyaṁ tad īśvarasya ghṛṇyaṁ|
16 “UMthetho labaPhrofethi kwatshunyayelwa kwaze kwaba yisikhathi sikaJohane. Kusukela kulesosikhathi izindaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu ziyatshunyayelwa njalo bonke abantu bazifuqela kuwo.

17 Kungaba lula ukuthi izulu lomhlaba kunyamalale kulokuthi kucitshe ichatha loMthetho elilodwa nje.
varaṁ nabhasaḥ pṛthivyāśca lopo bhaviṣyati tathāpi vyavasthāyā ekabindorapi lopo na bhaviṣyati|
18 Loba ngubani olahla umkakhe athathe omunye umfazi uyafeba njalo lendoda ethatha umfazi owalahlwayo iyafeba.”
yaḥ kaścit svīyāṁ bhāryyāṁ vihāya striyamanyāṁ vivahati sa paradārān gacchati, yaśca tā tyaktāṁ nārīṁ vivahati sopi paradārāna gacchati|
19 “Kwakulendoda enothileyo eyayigqoka izigqoko zombala oyibubende lezelembu lelineni, iphakathi kobutifitifi insuku zonke.

20 Entubeni yomuzi wayo kwakuhlezi isiceli esasithiwa nguLazaro, sigcwele izilonda emzimbeni,
sarvvāṅge kṣatayukta iliyāsaranāmā kaścid daridrastasya dhanavato bhojanapātrāt patitam ucchiṣṭaṁ bhoktuṁ vāñchan tasya dvāre patitvātiṣṭhat;
21 siloyisa ukudla lokho okwakukhithika etafuleni yalesosicebi. Izinja zazifika zikhothe izilonda zaso.
atha śvāna āgatya tasya kṣatānyalihan|
22 Kwafika isikhathi lapho isiceli esafa khona, izingilosi zasithwala zasisa eceleni lika-Abhrahama. Lesicebi laso safa, sabekwa.
kiyatkālātparaṁ sa daridraḥ prāṇān jahau; tataḥ svargīyadūtāstaṁ nītvā ibrāhīmaḥ kroḍa upaveśayāmāsuḥ|
23 Esihogweni lapho esasisitsha khona; savusa ubuso sabona u-Abhrahama ekude le, kuloLazaro eceleni kwakhe. (Hadēs g86)
paścāt sa dhanavānapi mamāra, taṁ śmaśāne sthāpayāmāsuśca; kintu paraloke sa vedanākulaḥ san ūrddhvāṁ nirīkṣya bahudūrād ibrāhīmaṁ tatkroḍa iliyāsarañca vilokya ruvannuvāca; (Hadēs g86)
24 Sasesimemeza sathi, ‘Baba Abhrahama, ake ungihawukele uthume uLazaro agxamuze umunwe wakhe emanzini athambise ulimi lwami, ngoba ngisebuhlungwini emlilweni lo.’
he pitar ibrāhīm anugṛhya aṅgulyagrabhāgaṁ jale majjayitvā mama jihvāṁ śītalāṁ karttum iliyāsaraṁ preraya, yato vahniśikhātohaṁ vyathitosmi|
25 Kodwa u-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, ‘Ndodana, khumbula ukuthi ngesikhathi usaphila wazuza izinto zakho ezinhle kodwa uLazaro wemukela izinto ezimbi, khangela manje useduduzwa lapha, ikanti wena ususebuhlungwini.
tadā ibrāhīm babhāṣe, he putra tvaṁ jīvan sampadaṁ prāptavān iliyāsarastu vipadaṁ prāptavān etat smara, kintu samprati tasya sukhaṁ tava ca duḥkhaṁ bhavati|
26 Njalo ngaphandle kwakho konke lokhu, phakathi kwethu lawe kulodonga olukhulu, ukwenzela ukuthi labo abafisa ukuza ngapho besuka lapha behluleke, futhi kakho ongapho ongachaphela ngakithi.’

27 Saphendula sathi, ‘Nxa kunjalo-ke, ngiyakuncenga, baba, thuma uLazaro endlini kababa,
tadā sa uktavān, he pitastarhi tvāṁ nivedayāmi mama pitu rgehe ye mama pañca bhrātaraḥ santi
28 ngoba ngilabafowethu abahlanu. Ayebaxwayisa ukuze labo bangezi kule indawo yobuhlungu.’
te yathaitad yātanāsthānaṁ nāyāsyanti tathā mantraṇāṁ dātuṁ teṣāṁ samīpam iliyāsaraṁ preraya|
29 U-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, ‘BaloMosi labaPhrofethi; kabalalele bona.’
tata ibrāhīm uvāca, mūsābhaviṣyadvādināñca pustakāni teṣāṁ nikaṭe santi te tadvacanāni manyantāṁ|
30 Sathi, ‘Hatshi, baba Abhrahama, kodwa nxa kusuka umuntu kwabafileyo aye kubo bazaphenduka.’
tadā sa nivedayāmāsa, he pitar ibrāhīm na tathā, kintu yadi mṛtalokānāṁ kaścit teṣāṁ samīpaṁ yāti tarhi te manāṁsi vyāghoṭayiṣyanti|
31 Wathi kuso, ‘Nxa bengalaleli uMosi labaPhrofethi, kabasoze bavume loba omunye angaze avuke kwabafileyo.’”
tata ibrāhīm jagāda, te yadi mūsābhaviṣyadvādināñca vacanāni na manyante tarhi mṛtalokānāṁ kasmiṁścid utthitepi te tasya mantraṇāṁ na maṁsyante|
