ULukha 12
1 Kusenjalo sezibuthene izigidi zexuku, baze banyathelana, waqala ukukhuluma labafundi bakhe kuqala: Lina xwayani imvubelo yabaFarisi, eyikuzenzisa.
Pea feʻunga mo ia, kuo fakakātoa ʻae fuʻu kakai taʻefaʻalaua, ʻonau femalakiʻaki ʻakinautolu, pea kamata lea ai ia, ʻo fuofua fai ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Mou vakai telia ʻae meʻa fakatupu ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻaia ko e mālualoi.
2 Njalo kakukho okumbomboziweyo, okungayikwembulwa, lokufihliweyo, okungayikwaziwa.
He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻufiʻufi, ʻe taʻefakahā; pe fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa ia.
3 Ngakho loba yini eliyikhuluma emnyameni izazwakala ekukhanyeni; lelikukhulume endlebeni ezindlini zensitha kuzamenyezelwa phezu kwezindlu.
Pea ko ia kotoa pē kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻi he poʻuli, ʻe fanongo ia ʻi he maama; pea ko ia kuo mou fanafana ʻaki ʻi he ngaahi loki, ʻe kalangaekina ia mei he tuʻa fale.”
4 Njalo ngithi kini bangane bami: Lingabesabi ababulala umzimba, njalo emva kwalokho bengelakho ukwenza olunye ulutho.
“Pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu ko hoku kāinga, “ʻOua te mou manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻae sino, pea hili ia ʻoku ʻikai mo ha meʻa te nau faʻa fai.
5 Kodwa ngizalitshengisa elifanele ukumesaba: Mesabeni lowo othi esebulele abe lamandla okuphosela esihogweni; yebo, ngithi kini: Mesabeni yena. (Geenna g1067)
Ka te u fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻaia te mou manavahē ki ai: manavahē kiate ia, ʻa ia, ʻoka hili ʻene tāmateʻi, ʻoku ne faʻa fai ke lī ki heli; ʻio, ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, manavahē kiate ia. (Geenna g1067)
6 Kazithengiswa yini intaka ezinhlanu ngendibilitshi ezimbili? Kakukhohlakali lanye yazo phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
“ʻIkai ʻoku fakatau ʻae kihiʻi manupuna ʻe nima ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siʻi ʻe ua? Pea ʻoku ʻikai ngalo hanau taha ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
7 Kanti lenwele zekhanda lenu zibaliwe zonke. Ngakho lingesabi; liyazedlula intaka ezinengi.
Ka ko e ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo homou ʻulu kuo lau kotoa pē. Ko ia ʻoua ʻe manavahē: [he ]ʻoku mou mahuʻinga hake ʻi he fanga kihiʻi manu lahi.
8 Njalo ngithi kini: Wonke loba ngubani ongivuma phambi kwabantu, iNdodana yomuntu layo izamvuma phambi kwengilosi zikaNkulunkulu;
“ʻOku ou tala foki kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia te ne fakahā au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻe fakahā foki ia ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.
9 kodwa ongiphika phambi kwabantu uzaphikwa phambi kwengilosi zikaNkulunkulu.
Ka ko ia ʻoku ne siʻaki au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻe siʻaki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.
10 Laye wonke okhuluma ilizwi elimelana leNdodana yomuntu, uzathethelelwa; kodwa lowo ohlambaza uMoya oNgcwele kayikuthethelelwa.
“Pea ko ia ʻe lea kovi ki he Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe fakamolemole ia kiate ia; ka ko ia ʻoku ne lohiakiʻi ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ia.
11 Njalo nxa belisa emasinagogeni lakubabusi leziphathamandla, lingakhathazeki ukuthi lizaphendula njani kumbe liphenduleni, kumbe lizakhulumani;
“Pea ka nau ka ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi falelotu, mo e kau fakamaau, mo e kau pule, ʻoua naʻa mou feinga pe fēfē pe ko e hā te mou tali ʻaki, pe ko ia te mou fakahā:
12 ngoba uMoya oNgcwele uzalifundisa ngalelohola izinto elifanele ukuzikhuluma.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ako ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke [mou ]lea ʻaki.”
13 Futhi omunye wexuku wathi kuye: Mfundisi, akutshele umfowethu abelane lami ilifa.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ʻoe kakai kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ke ke leaange ki hoku tokoua ke ma vaeua mo au ʻae tofiʻa.”
14 Kodwa wathi kuye: Ndoda, ngubani ongimise ukuthi ngibe ngumahluleli loba umehlukanisi phezu kwenu?
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Tangata, Ko hai ne ne fakanofo au ko e fakamaau pe ko e tufaki kiate kimoutolu?”
15 Wasesithi kubo: Nanzelelani liqaphele ubuhwaba, ngoba impilo yomuntu kayikho ebunengini bezinto alazo.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Tokanga pea vakai, telia ʻae manumanu: he ko e moʻui ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hono lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ne maʻu.”
16 Wasebatshela umfanekiso, esithi: Insimu yomuntu othile onothileyo yathela kakhulu;
Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fua ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻae fonua ʻoe tangata koloaʻia ʻe tokotaha:
17 wasenakana ngaphakathi kwakhe, esithi: Ngizakwenza njani, ngoba kangilandawo lapho engingabuthela khona izithelo zami?
Pea fifili ia ʻi hono loto, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā te u fai, he ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ke fetuku ki ai ʻeku ngaahi fua?’
18 Wasesithi: Ngizakwenza lokhu; ngizadiliza iziphala zami, ngakhe ezinkulu, ngibuthele khona izilimo zami zonke lempahla yami,
Pea ne pehē, ‘Te u fai eni: te u vete hifo ʻa hoku ngaahi feleoko, ʻo langa ke lalahi; pea teu fetuku ki ai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fua kotoa pē mo ʻeku koloa.
19 besengisithi kumphefumulo wami: Mphefumulo, ulempahla ezinengi ezibekelwe iminyaka eminengi; phumula, udle, unathe, uthokoze.
Pea te u pehē ki hoku laumālie, “Laumālie, kuo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei lahi ki he taʻu lahi; ke ke fiemālie pe, ʻo kai, mo inu, mo fiefia.”’
20 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuye: Siphukuphuku, ngalobubusuku umphefumulo wakho uzabizwa kuwe; pho izinto ozilungisileyo zizakuba ngezikabani?
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia, ‘Ko e vale koe, ʻe toʻo ʻiate koe ʻi he poōni ʻa ho laumālie: pea [ʻe hoko ]ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻa hai ʻaia kuo ke tokonaki?’
21 Kunjalo-ke kozibekela inotho, kodwa enganothanga kuNkulunkulu.
“Pea ʻoku pehē ia ʻaia ʻoku ne fokotuʻu koloa maʻana, ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻumeʻa ki he ʻOtua.”
22 Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Ngakho ngithi kini: Lingakhathaleli impilo yenu, ukuthi lizakudlani; loba umzimba, ukuthi lizakwembathani.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga ki hoʻomou moʻui, ki ha meʻa te mou kai; pe ki he sino, pe ko e hā te mou ʻai ki ai.
23 Impilo yedlula ukudla, lomzimba isembatho.
ʻOku lahi hake ʻae moʻui ʻi he meʻakai, mo e sino ʻi he kofu.
24 Qaphelisisani amawabayi, ukuthi kawahlanyeli, njalo kawavuni, kawalasiphala loba isilulu, kanti uNkulunkulu uyawondla; lina lizedlula kangakanani inyoni?
Tokanga ki he fanga leveni, he ʻoku ʻikai te nau tūtuuʻi pe tuʻusi; pea ʻoku ʻikai hanau fale koloa, pe feleoko ka ʻoku fafanga ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakinautolu pea ʻikai ʻoku mou lelei hake ʻaupito ʻi he fanga manu?
25 Njalo nguwuphi kini ongathi ngokuphiseka engezelele ingalo ibenye ebudeni bakhe?
Pea ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi heʻene tokanga ʻe faʻa fakalōloa siʻi ki heʻene moʻui?
26 Ngakho nxa lingelamandla okwenza into encinyane, liphisekelani ngokunye?
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou mafai ʻaia ʻoku siʻi taha pe, ko e hā ʻoku mou tokanga ai ki he meʻa kehe?
27 Qaphelisani imiduze ukuthi ikhula njani; kayitshikatshiki, kayiphothi, kodwa ngithi kini: LoSolomoni ebucwazicwazini bakhe bonke wayengembathiswanga njengomunye wayo.
Tokanga ki he tupu hake ʻoe fisiʻi ʻakau: ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ngāue, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke filo; ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai tatau ʻae teunga ʻo Solomone ʻi hono nāunau fulipē mo ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ni.
28 Njalo uba uNkulunkulu esembathisa ngokunjalo utshani obukhona lamuhla egangeni, kuthi kusasa buphoswa eziko, uzalembathisa ngokukhulu kangakanani, lina abokholo oluncinyane?
Ko ia kapau ʻe fakakofu pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae mohuku, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue he ʻaho ni, kae lī ki he ngotoʻumu ʻapongipongi; ʻikai ʻe lahi hake kiate kimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku siʻi hoʻomou tui?
29 Lani-ke lingadingi elizakudla lelizakunatha; njalo lingakhathazeki.
“Pea ʻoua naʻa mou kumi ki ha meʻa te mou kai, mo e meʻa te mou inu, pea ʻoua naʻa mou loto fakataʻetaʻetui.
30 Ngoba konke lokhu izizwe zomhlaba ziyakudinga; kodwa uYihlo uyazi ukuthi liyaziswela lezizinto.
He ko e meʻa kotoa pē eni ʻoku kumi ki ai ʻe he ngaahi kakai ʻo māmani: pea ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku mou masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni.
31 Kodwa dingani umbuso kaNkulunkulu, njalo zonke lezizinto zizakwengezelelwa kini.
Kae kumi muʻa ʻakimoutolu ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua: pea ʻe fakalahi ʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
32 Lingesabi, mhlambi omncinyane; ngoba kuyikuthanda kukaYihlo ukulinika umbuso.
“ʻAe fanga sipi siʻi, ʻOua ʻe manavahē he ko e finangalo lelei ʻo hoʻomou Tamai ke foaki ʻae puleʻanga kiate kimoutolu.
33 Thengisani impahla zenu liphe izipho. Lizenzele imixhaka engagugiyo, impahla eligugu engapheliyo emazulwini, lapho okungasondeli isela khona, lenundu engoni khona;
Fakatau atu ʻaia ʻoku mou maʻu, pea faʻa foaki; tokonaki maʻamoutolu ʻae ngaahi kato ʻe ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ke motuʻa, ko e koloa ʻi he langi ʻe ʻikai ʻosi, pea ʻe ʻikai ofi ki ai ha kaihaʻa, pe fakapopo [ia ]ʻe he ane.
34 ngoba lapho okukhona impahla yenu eligugu, izakuba khona lapho lenhliziyo yenu.
He ko e potu ʻoku ʻi ai hoʻomou koloa, ʻe ʻi ai foki mo homou loto.
35 Inkalo zenu kazihlale zibotshiwe, lezibane zenu zibhebha;
“Tuku ke nonoʻo pe homou noʻotanga vala, pea ulo [hoʻomou ]ngaahi maama.
36 lani libe njengabantu abalindele inkosi yabo, lapho izabuya ivela emtshadweni, ukuze, nxa ifika iqoqoda, bahle bayivulele.
Pea ke tatau ʻakimoutolu mo e kau tangata ʻoku tatali ki he liliu mai ʻa honau ʻeiki mei he taʻane; koeʻuhi ka haʻu ia ʻo tukituki, ke nau toʻo leva kiate ia.
37 Zibusisiwe lezozinceku, okuzakuthi inkosi nxa ifika izifice zilindile; ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Izabhinca, izihlalise ekudleni, isondele izisebenzele.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻoka haʻu ʻae ʻeiki pea ne ʻilo ʻoku nau leʻo: ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, te ne nonoʻo ia, ʻo pule ke nau nofo hifo ki he kai, pea haʻu ia ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu.
38 Njalo nxa ifika ngomlindo wesibili, kumbe ifika ngomlindo wesithathu, futhi izifice zinjalo, zibusisiwe lezozinceku.
Pea kapau ʻe haʻu ia ʻi hono ua ʻoe leʻo, pe haʻu ʻi hono tolu ʻoe leʻo, pea ne ʻilo ʻoku pehē pe, ʻe monūʻia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia.
39 Kodwa yazini lokhu, ukuthi uba umninindlu ebelazi ihola isela elizafika ngalo, ubezalinda, futhi ubengayikuvuma ukuthi indlu yakhe ifohlelwe.
Pea ʻilo eni, ka ne ʻilo ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe fale ʻa e feituʻupō ko ia ʻe haʻu ai ʻae kaihaʻa, [pehē], ne leʻo ia, ka ʻe ʻikai tuku ke hae hono fale.
40 Ngakho lani-ke hlalani lilungile; ngoba ngehola elingalicabangeliyo iNdodana yomuntu izafika.
Ko ia mou teuteu pe foki: he ko e feituʻulaʻā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻamanaki ki ai, ʻe haʻu ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.”
41 UPetro wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, uwutshela thina lumfanekiso, kumbe labo bonke yini?
Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ke lea ʻaki mai ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kimautolu, pe ki [he kakai ]kotoa pē?”
42 INkosi yasisithi: Pho ngubani umphathi wezinceku othembekileyo lohlakaniphileyo, inkosi ezambeka phezu kwabendlu yayo, ukuze abanike isabelo sabo sokudla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo?
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “He ko hai ʻae tauhi angatonu mo poto, ʻe fakanofo ʻe heʻene ʻeiki ke pule ki hono kau nofoʻanga, ke ʻatu ʻae tufakanga ʻi hono feituʻu totonu?
43 Ibusisiwe leyonceku, okuzakuthi inkosi yayo nxa ifika iyifice isenza njalo.
ʻE monūʻia ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻoka haʻu ʻene ʻeiki ʻo ne ʻilo ʻoku fai pehē pe ia.
44 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Izayibeka phezu kwakho konke elakho.
Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Te ne fakanofo ia ke pule ki heʻene meʻa kotoa pē.
45 Kodwa nxa leyonceku isithi enhliziyweni yayo: Inkosi yami iphuzile ukubuya; njalo ibisiqala ukutshaya izinceku lezincekukazi, lokudla lokunatha lokudakwa,
Pea ka pehē ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ko ia ʻi hono loto, ‘ʻOku fakatuotuai ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ʻa ʻene haʻu;’ pea hanga ia ʻo taaʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga, pea kai mo inu ke konā:
46 inkosi yaleyonceku izafika ngosuku engayilindele ngalo, langehola engalaziyo; izayiquma phakathi, izanika isabelo sayo lalabo abangathembekanga.
ʻE haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe tamaioʻeiki ko ia ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe ʻikai ʻamanaki ia ki ai, pea ʻi ha feituʻulaʻā ʻe ʻikai tokanga ai ia, ʻo tuʻusi ia, pea tuʻutuʻuni ke ne ʻinasi fakataha mo e taʻetui.
47 Laleyonceku ebisazi intando yenkosi yayo, kodwa ingalungiselanga njalo ingenzanga ngokwentando yayo, izatshaywa imivimvinya eminengi.
Pea ko e tamaioʻeiki ko ia naʻe ʻilo ʻae loto ʻo ʻene ʻeiki, ka naʻe ʻikai ke teuteu, pe fai ʻo fakatatau mo hono loto, ʻe taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi tā lahi.
48 Kodwa leyo ebingayazi, yenza okufanele ukutshaywa, izatshaywa imivimvinya emilutshwana. Laye wonke ophiwe okunengi, kuzadingwa okunengi kuye; lalowo ophathiswe okunengi, kuzabizwa kuye okungaphezulu.
Ka ko ia naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa, pea fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ngali mo e tautea, ʻe taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi tā siʻi. He ko ia ia kuo tuku ki ai ʻae meʻa lahi, ʻe ʻamanaki lahi ʻiate ia; pea ko ia kuo tuku ki ai ʻe he kakai ʻae meʻa lahi, ʻe lahi ai ʻenau ʻamanaki ʻiate ia.
49 Ngize ukuphosela umlilo emhlabeni, futhi kuyini engikufisayo nxa usubasiwe?
“Kuo u haʻu ke tuku ʻae afi ki māmani; pea ko e hā hoku loto, ʻo kapau kuo tutu ni ia?
50 Kodwa ngilobhabhathizo engizabhabhathizwa ngalo, futhi ngicindezelwe kangakanani luze lupheleliswe.
ʻOku ai ʻae papitaiso ke u papitaiso ai; pea ʻoku ou feinga kaeʻoua ke fai ia!
51 Licabanga ukuthi ngize ukunika ukuthula emhlabeni yini? Hatshi bo, ngithi kini, kodwa kulalokhu ukwehlukana.
ʻOku mou mahalo kuo u haʻu ke tuku ʻae melino ki māmani? ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻIkai; ka ko e mavahevahe:
52 Ngoba kusukela khathesi abahlanu endlini yinye bazakwehlukana, abathathu bamelane lababili, lababili bamelane labathathu,
Ngata heni ʻe feʻiteʻitani ʻae toko nima ʻi he fale pe taha, ko e toko tolu ki he toko ua, mo e toko ua ki he toko tolu.
53 bazakwehlukana, uyise amelane lendodana, lendodana imelane loyise; unina amelane lendodakazi, lendodakazi imelane lonina; uninazala amelane lomalokazana wakhe, lomalokazana amelane loninazala.
ʻE feʻiteʻitani ʻae tamai ki he foha, mo e foha ki he tamai; ko e faʻē ki he taʻahine, mo e taʻahine ki he faʻē; ko e faʻē ʻi he fono ki heʻene taʻahine ʻi he fono, mo e taʻahine ʻi he fono ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono.”
54 Wasesithi lemaxukwini: Nxa libona iyezi lisukuma entshonalanga, lihle lithi: Izulu liyabuya; futhi kube njalo.
Pea naʻa ne pehē foki ki he kakai, “ʻOka mou ka mamata ki he ʻalu hake ʻae ʻao mei he tokanga laʻā, ʻoku mou pehē leva, ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻuha; pea ʻoku pehē.
55 Njalo nxa libona umoya weningizimu uphephetha, lithi: Lizatshisa; besekusenzakala.
Pea ʻoka angi mai ʻae matangi mei he feituʻu tonga, ʻoku mou pehē, ʻE pupuha pea ʻoku pehē.
56 Bazenzisi! Liyakwazi ukuhlola umumo wesibhakabhaka lowomhlaba; kodwa lesisikhathi kungani lingasihloli?
ʻAe kau mālualoi, ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae mata ʻoe fonua pea mo e langi; ka ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ai ʻae kuonga ni?
57 Pho, kungani ukuthi lingahluleli lani lina uqobo lwenu okulungileyo?
ʻIo, pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻekimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku totonu?
58 Ngoba nxa usiya lomangalelene laye kumantshi, endleleni yenza ubungcono ukuthi ukhululwe kuye; hlezi akudonsele kumahluleli, lomahluleli akunikele epholiseni, lepholisa likuphosele entolongweni.
“ʻOka ke ka ʻalu mo ho fili ki he fakamaau, ke ke fai feinga ʻi he hala, koeʻuhi ke ke hao meiate ia, telia naʻa ne ʻave koe ki he fakamaau, pea tukuange Koe ʻe he fakamaau ki he matāpule pea ʻe lī koe ʻe he matāpule ki he fale fakapōpula.
59 Ngithi kuwe, kawusoze waphuma khona, uze ubhadale lenhlamvu encane yemali yokucina.
ʻOku ou tala kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu mei ai, kaeʻoua ke ke ʻatu ʻae totongi kotoa pē.”
