ULukha 13
1 Njalo ngalesosikhathi kwaba khona abathile abamtshela ngamaGalili, igazi lawo uPilatu alixubanisa lemihlatshelo yawo.
Gene malangago bhandunji bhana gubhaabhalanjilenje a Yeshu ga bhandunji bha ku Galilaya bhabhulegwenje na a Pilato na minyai jabhonji gujianganyishe na minyai ja bhannyama bhabhonji bha bhishila.
2 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Licabanga ukuthi amaGalili la ayeyizoni yini kulawo wonke amaGalili, ngoba ahlupheka izinto ezinje?
Na bhalabho a Yeshu gubhaabhushienje, “Punkuganishiyanga bhene Bhagalilayabho bhashinkukolanga yambi kupunda Bhagalilaya bhananji, nkali bhaabhulagwanje shana nneyo?
3 Hatshi bo, ngithi kini: Kodwa uba lingaphenduki, lizabhubha ngokunjalo lonke.
Nngabha nneyo, ikabheje nkali mmanganya nkaipetanje, nneyo peyo shintitimilanje.
4 Lalabo abalitshumi lesificaminwembili, owawela phezu kwabo umphotshongo eSilowama wababulala, licabanga ukuthi bona babebabi yini kulabantu bonke ababehlala eJerusalema?
Bhuli, bhene kumi na nane bhagwililwenje na nnala ku Shiloamu niwanganga bhala, punkuganishiyanga kuti bhashinkukolanga yambi kupunda bhandunji bhowe bhatamanganaga ku Yelushalemu?
5 Hatshi bo, ngithi kini: Kodwa uba lingaphenduki, lizabhubha ngokunjalo lonke.
Ngunakummalanjilanga nngabha, ikabheje nkali mmanganya nkaipetanje, nneyo peyo mmowe shintitimilanje.”
6 Wasekhuluma lumfanekiso wathi: Umuntu othile wayelomkhiwa owawuhlanyelwe esivinini sakhe; wafika edinga isithelo kuwo, kodwa kasitholanga.
Kungai a Yeshu gubhaatanjilenje aluno lutango luno, “Bhandu bhamo bhashinkukola nkongo gwa ntini munngunda gwabho gwa mishabhibhu. Gubhapite kupinga bhakakabhe iepo yakwe, ikabheje kuguimana gwangaogola tini nkali jimo.
7 Wasesithi kuso isisebenzi sesivini: Khangela, sekuyiminyaka emithathu ngisiza ngidinga isithelo emkhiweni, kodwa ngingasitholi; ugamule; yini ukuthi wone ngitsho umhlabathi?
Bhai, gubhammalanjile ntumishi jwabho, ‘Lola! Kwa yaka itatu natendaga kwiya kabha iepo ya gwene nkongogu, nangapata shoshowe. Guushele! Kwa nndi unaangabhanya litaka gwayoyo?’
8 Sasesiphendula sathi kuye: Nkosi, ake uwuyekele langalumnyaka, ngize ngigebhe ngiwugombolozele, ngithele umquba;
Ikabheje ntumishi jula gwabhajangwile, ‘Mmakulungwa, namwaka tuuleshe, niguolele liimbo na niutajile mbolela.
9 njalo uba uthela isithelo, kuhle; kodwa uba kungenjalo, emva kwalokho uzawugamula.
Ibhaga pashaka uogolaga iepo, shammbone, ibhaga lepe, bhai shiguushele.’”
10 Futhi wayefundisa kwelinye lamasinagoge ngesabatha;
Lyubha limo lya Pumulila a Yeshu bhatendaga jiganya nshinagogi jimo.
11 njalo khangela, kwakukhona owesifazana owayelomoya wobuthakathaka iminyaka elitshumi leyisificaminwembili, esegogekile, wayengezelulamise ngokupheleleyo.
Penepo bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhaaliji na shigongo kwa yaka kumi na nane, pabha ashinkwaatama lioka jwangali jwa mmbone. Nngongo gwabho gwashinkupinda, bhakakombolaga kujinuka nkali kashoko.
12 Kwathi uJesu embona wambizela kuye, wathi kuye: Mama, ukhululwe ebuthakathakeni bakho.
A Yeshu bhakaabhoneje gubhaashemile, gubhaabhalanjile, “A mama nnamile shilwele shenu.”
13 Wasebeka izandla phezu kwakhe; njalo wahle welulanyiswa, wadumisa uNkulunkulu.
Gubhaabhishile makono bhakongwe bhala, shangupe nngongo gwabho guugolweshe, gubhainiye a Nnungu.
14 Kodwa umphathi wesinagoge, ethukuthele ngoba uJesu esilise ngesabatha, waphendula wathi exukwini: Zikhona insuku eziyisithupha okufanele ukusetshenzwa ngazo; ngakho wozani ngazo lisiliswe, kodwa kungabi ngosuku lwesabatha.
Ikabheje bhakulungwa bha shinagogi gubhatumbele pabhaa Yeshu bhashikunnamya mundu Lyubha lya Pumulila. Kwa nneyo gubhalubhalanjile lugwinjili lwa bhandunji lula, “Nkwetenje mobha shita ga kamula liengo. Bhai, nnjiyangane gene mobhago kunnamiywanje ilwele yenunji, ikabheje nnajiyangane lyubha lya Pumulila.”
15 Ngakho iNkosi yamphendula, yathi: Mzenzisi, ngulowo lalowo wenu kayikhululi yini inkabi yakhe kumbe ubabhemi esibayeni ngesabatha, ayikhokhele ayeyinathisa?
Penepo Bhakulungwa gubhajangwile, “Mmanganya mmagulumba! Munkumbi gwenunji gani akananng'ugule ng'ombe eu mbunda jwakwe nshitundu ampeleshe kung'wa mashi, lyubha lya Pumulila?
16 Lalo, oyindodakazi kaAbrahama, uSathane obembophile, khangela, iminyaka elitshumi leyisificaminwembili, kakufanele yini ukuthi akhululwe kulesisibopho ngosuku lwesabatha?
Nnaino, apano apali jwankongwe jwa shipinga sha a Bhulaimu apotekwaga naka lishetani kwa yaka kumi na nane. Bhuli, nngabha sha mmbone kunngopola shitabho shakwe lyubha lya Pumulila?”
17 Kwathi esitsho lezizinto, bayangeka bonke ababephikisana laye; lexuku lonke lathokoza ngezinto zonke ezilodumo ezenziwe nguye.
A Yeshu bhakabheleketeje genego, ashaamagongo ajabho bhowe gubhakwetenje oni ikabheje bhananji guyaanonyelenje kwa kaje kwa ligongo lya indu ibhatendile ila.
18 Wasesithi: Umbuso kaNkulunkulu unjengani? Futhi ngizawufananisa lani?
A Yeshu gubhabhushiye, “Upalume gwa a Nnungu ulandana na nndi? Shiniulandanye na nndi?
19 Unjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, umuntu aluthatha waluphosa esivandeni sakhe; lwaselumila, lwaba yisihlahla esikhulu, lenyoni zezulu zakhele engatsheni zaso.
Malinga mbeju ja aladali jili jishoko kaje jatolile mundu jumo nipanda munngunda gwakwe, gujimelile nibha nkongo. Ijuni guishenjile maui nnyambi yakwe.”
20 Wasebuya wathi: Ngizawufananisa lani umbuso kaNkulunkulu?
Kabhili gubhabhushiye, “Shiniulandanye na nndi Upalume gwa a Nnungu?
21 Unjengemvubelo, ayithathayo owesifazana wayifaka ezilinganisweni ezintathu zempuphu, kwaze kwabila konke.
Malinga ngedule shibhatolile bhakongwe bhamo nianganya na utandi madebhe gabhili na nushu kungai utandi gowe guukwebhile.”
22 Wasehamba edabula imizi lemizana efundisa, ejonge ukuya eJerusalema.
A Yeshu gubhapite na mwanja gwabho kuloya ku Yelushalemu bhalipita mwilambo na mwijiji, bhalipita jiganya.
23 Omunye wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, balutshwana yini abasindiswayo? Wasesithi kubo:
Mundu jumo gwabhabhushiye, “Mmakulungwa, bhuli, bhandunji bhapinga tapulwanga ni bhashokope?”
24 Zamani kakhulu ukungena ngesango elincinyane; ngoba abanengi, ngithi kini, bazadinga ukungena, kodwa bazakwehluleka.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, Ntumbilanje kaje kujinjila kupitila nnango gwa nshoko, pabha ngunakummalanjilanga, bhandu bhabhagwinji shibhalinganje kujinjila ikabheje bhakakombolanga.
25 Emva kokuthi umninindlu esesukume wavala umnyango, beseliqala ukuma ngaphandle liqoqode emnyango, lisithi: Nkosi, Nkosi, sivulele; yena-ke aphendule athi kini: Kangilazi, lapho elivela khona;
Shigaishe mobha bhayene nyumba shibhajime niugala nnango. Mmanganya nkupinga jimangana palanga nitandubha kuolishiya nninkutinji, Mmakulungwa ntuugulile nnango. Ikabheje bhenebho shibhannjangulanje, ngakummanyanga mmanganya wala kunkoposhelenje.
26 lapho lizaqala ukuthi: Sadla sanatha phambi kwakho, njalo wawufundisa emigwaqweni yakithi.
Numbe mmanganya shintandubhanje kwaalugulila, twatendaga kulya na ng'wa pamo na mmwe na mwatendaga jiganya mwilambo yetu.
27 Kodwa uzakuthi: Ngithi kini: Kangilazi lapho elivela khona; sukani kimi lina lonke benzi bokubi.
Ikabheje na bhalabho shibhaajangulanje, “Ngakummanyanga mmanganya wala kunkukoposhelanga, nshokangane mmanganya mmowe mmalebhanga.”
28 Lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo, nxa selibona uAbrahama loIsaka loJakobe labaprofethi bonke embusweni kaNkulunkulu, kodwa lina lilahlelwe ngaphandle.
Penepo ni pushipingapagwa shililo na kutauna meno, pushimwabhonanje a Bhulaimu na a Ishaka na a Yakobho na ashinkulondola bhowe bha a Nnungu bhalinginji mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu, ikabheje mmanganya nnokololwenje palanga!
29 Futhi bazakuza bevela empumalanga lentshonalanga, njalo enyakatho leningizimu, bahlale embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Bhapinga kwiyangana bhandunji kukoposhela mmbali yowe ya shilambolyo nitama pa shalya shaabhishilwenje mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu.
30 Njalo khangelani, bakhona abokucina abazakuba ngabokuqala, njalo bakhona abokuqala abazakuba ngabokucina.
Nnole, bhapali bhalinginji bha kumpelo shibhabhanganje bha kundandubho na bha kundandubho shibhabhanganje bha kumpelo.
31 Ngelanga elifananayo kwafika abaFarisi abathile, bathi kuye: Phuma usuke lapha, ngoba uHerodi ufuna ukukubulala.
Gene malangapego, Mapalishayo na bhandunji bhana gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Nnjabhule apano nnjende mmbali jina, pabha bhakulungwa a Elode bhanapinga kummulaga.”
32 Wasesithi kubo: Hambani lilitshele lelokhanka: Khangela, ngiyakhupha amadimoni ngenza izelapho lamuhla lakusasa, langelesithathu ngipheleliswe.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nnjendangane nkaalilugulilanje lyene lyananshetolyo nneino, ‘Lelo na malabhi shinjoye maoka na kwaalamyanga bhalwelenji na ntondo shimaliye liengo lyangu.’
33 Kodwa kumele ukuthi ngihambe lamuhla lakusasa langomhlomunye; ngoba kakwenzeki ukuthi umprofethi abulawelwe ngaphandle kweJerusalema.
Nkali nneyo, lelo na malabhi na ntondo, ngunapinjikwa nyende mwanja gwangu, pabha ikapinjikwa ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhabhulagwe kunyenje shilambo sha Yelushalemu.
34 Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wena obulala abaprofethi, lobakhanda ngamatshe labo abathunywe kuwe! Bengithanda kangakanani ukubuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho, njengesikhukhukazi sibuthela amatsiyane aso ngaphansi kwempiko, kodwa kalivumanga.
“Ugwe Yelushalemu! Yelushalemu! Unakwabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu nikwaakomanga maganga bhatumilwenje kunngwako. Palingwa pumbinjile kwaagutamilanga bhana bhako pamo mbuti namwana jwa nnguku shakuti kwaagutamilanga bhana bhakwe mmapapiko gakwe, ikabheje gwangapinga.
35 Khangelani, indlu yenu itshiywe kini ilunxiwa; njalo ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kalisoze langibona kuze kufike ukuthi lithi: Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi.
Nnolanje! Shinneshelwanje ushubha nshilambo shenunji. Bhai, ngunakummalanjilanga, nkamonanga kabhili mpaka pushimmeleketanje kuti, ‘Bhakwete Mboka bhene bhakwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa.’”
