3 Wasebatshela lumfanekiso, esithi:
U Yesu wikatambula mpyani eye kung'wao, nukulunga
4 Nguwuphi umuntu kini ongathi elezimvu ezilikhulu, abeselahlekelwa ngenye yazo, ongazitshiyi ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye egangeni, alandele elahlekileyo, aze ayithole?
Nyenyu kitanyu, angeze ukete nkolo mia moja angawalimigwe neng'wi ao, shanga ukualeka awa netisini na tisa, alongole kumeduma eye nelimie wameone?
5 Njalo athi eseyitholile ayetshate ethokoza.
Nung'wenso anga wamelije wemekenka mumaega akwe nukiloelya.
6 Esefikile ekhaya, abizele ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, esithi kubo: Thokozani lami, ngoba ngithole imvu yami ebilahlekile.
Anga wapike munyumba, wiitanga eahumba auyanianyakisale akwe nukuaila iloelyi palung'wi nune kunsoko namepata enkolo ane nazelimie.
7 Ngithi kini: Ngokunjalo kuzakuba khona intokozo ezulwini ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo, kulabalungileyo abangamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye, abangasweli ukuphenduka.
Kumuila uu, uu, ikutula wiloelyo ukulu kilunde kunso umunyamilandu ung'wi nutubile.
8 Loba nguwuphi umfazi othi elenhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi, uba elahlekelwa luhlamvu olulodwa lwesiliva, angalumathisi isibane, athanyele indlu, adingisise aze aluthole?
Ang'wi ukole musunguke nukete sarafu ikumi niyahela, anga walimiligwe nesarafu eng'we, shanga ukakilane ntala nukupyagula munyumba nukumiduma kwangulu mpaka wamelije?
9 Njalo nxa eselutholile ubizela ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, athi: Thokozani lami, ngoba sengilutholile uhlamvu lwesiliva ebengilahlekelwe yilo.
Angawamione weitanga eahumba ekwe neanyakisale akwe nukuaila iloelyi palung'wi nunene kunsoko namilija hangi esarafu ane eye naelimiie.
10 Ngokunjalo, ngithi kini, ikhona intokozo phambi kwezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo.
Kuite kumuila, ukole wiloelyi ntongeela amalaika ang'wi Tunda, kunsoko amunyamilandu ung'wi nukutubu.”
11 Wasesithi: Umuntu othile wayelamadodana amabili;
Nu Yesu akaaila, muntu ung'wi aukete ana abiile.
12 encinyane yawo yasisithi kuyise: Baba, nginika isabelo sempahla esiqondene lami. Wasewehlukanisela impahla.
Uyu numunino wikamuila tatakwe, Tata mpe une isalo lane nilengwie kusala. Ite wikaagawila insao yakwe, kati ao.
13 Njalo kungelansuku ezinengi emva kwalokhu indodana encinyane yabutha konke yasuka yahamba yaya elizweni elikhatshana, njalo lapho yachitha khona impahla yayo, iphila okobuhlanya.
Nsiku singa yedu uyu numunino wekilingila ehi naukete akalongola kesale kakule, nukung'wenso wekasapatilya impia yakwe nukuguli maintu nesingutakile, nukusapatilya impia yakwe kwa usambo.
14 Yathi isichithile konke, kwavela indlala enkulu kulelolizwe, yona yasiqala ukuswela.
Nung'wenso naukondilye kitumila ehi enzala nkulu ekingila mihe nanso, nung'wenso akatula lompa.
15 Yasisuka yazihlanganisa lesinye sezakhamizi zalelolizwe; njalo sayithuma emasimini aso ukuze yeluse izingulube.
Akalongola ung'wenso nukisalisa nukutula ung'wiao mihe nanso, nung'wenso wekamutala kumugunda wakwe kulesa ingulue.
16 Yasifisa ukugcwalisa isisu sayo ngamakhasi ingulube eziwadlayo; njalo kwakungelamuntu oyinika ulutho.
Wikatula ukete nsula akilesa emaganda naeikulya ingulue, kunsoko aetile anga muntu naumupee kintu nekakulya.
17 Kwathi ingqondo yayo isibuyile yathi: Zingaki izisebenzi zikababa eziqhatshiweyo ezilezinkwa ezinengi kakhulu, kanti mina ngiyafa yindlala;
Sunga uyu ung'wana naukimbule munkolo akwe, wikalunga atung'wa anga neang'wa tatane akete indya yedu ikondile unene nkole apa, kusha nanzala?
18 ngizasukuma ngiye kubaba, ngithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini, laphambi kwakho;
Kulutya nongole kung'wa tatane, nekina, “Tata natumula migulya kilunde nukuntongeela amiho ako.
19 njalo kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngithiwe ngiyindodana yakho; ngenza ngibe njengomunye wezisebenzi zakho eziqhatshiweyo.
Shainonee kitangwa neng'wako hange, ntende anga ning'wi wao watugwa ako.”
20 Yasisukuma yaya kuyise. Kodwa kuthe isesekhatshana, uyise wayibona, waba lesihelo, wagijima wawela entanyeni yayo, wayanga.
Uu wekahega wikalongola kung'wa tata akwe. Aekele ukole kule utata akwe wikamuonela ukia wikamumankila nukumukumbasela nukumulungila.
21 Indodana yasisithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini laphambi kwakho, futhi kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngokuthi ngiyindodana yakho.
Ung'wana nuanso wekamuila, “tata natumula migulya kilunde nukuntongela amiho ako singainonee nitangwe ning'wako.”
22 Kodwa uyise wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Khuphani lilethe isembatho esihle kakhulu liyigqokise, lifake indandatho esandleni sayo, lamanyathela enyaweni zayo;
Utata akwe wikaaela atugwa akwe “kayi leti ung'wenda uyo numuza, mukumbi mumutugale ipete kushala niilatu kumegulu.
23 lilethe ithole elinonisiweyo lilihlabe, njalo sidle sithokoze;
Hange muleti ung'wang'ombe uyu numugenu mumusinze kulye kiloelye.
24 ngoba indodana yami le ibifile, isibuye yaphila; ibilahlekile, itholiwe; basebeqala ukuthokoza.
Kunsoko ung'wane waioka ukole mupanga. Aulimie nung'wenso wigela ikandya kilumbilya.
25 Kodwa indodana yakhe endala yayisensimini; yathi isiza isondela endlini, yezwa ukuhlabelela lokusina.
Ingi ung'wana numukulu aukole kumugunda naupembilye wikahumbela pito wikija nduli ya nyemboneakiginsa.
26 Yasibizela kuyo omunye wezinceku, yabuza ukuthi zitshoni lezizinto.
Wikitanga mutugwa ung'wi wikamukolya imakani aya endogoelyo ntuni?
27 Yasisithi kuyo: Umfowenu ufikile; loyihlo uhlabile ithole elinonisiweyo, ngoba ememukele ephila.
Umutugwa wikamuela umunino ako waza nutata ako wamusinzila ung'wang'ombe numuginu kunsoko wasuka mupanga.”
28 Kodwa yathukuthela, ayizange ifune ukungena; ngakho uyise waphuma wayincenga.
Ung'wana numukulu wikabepelwa wikahita kingila munyumba nutataakwe wikapuma kunzi kumupepelya.
29 Kodwa yaphendula yathi kuyise: Khangela, iminyaka engaka ngikusebenzela, kangizange ngeqe umlayo wakho, kodwa kawuzange unginike lazinyane lembuzi, ukuze ngijabule kanye labangane bami.
Sunga wikasusha kung'wa tatakwe nukulunga, “Goza unene nukitumie myaka edu, hange nkele ntumuile ilago lako, kuite ukele kumpa ung'wambuli nihume kiloelya neahumba eane.
30 Kodwa kuthe isifikile lindodana yakho eyachitha impahla yakho lezifebe, wayihlabela ithole elinonisiweyo.
Kuite nazuzile ung'wako uyu naewiginseye insao yako yehi palung'wi neasambo wamusenzila ung'ombe uyu numugenu.
31 Wasesithi kuyo: Ndodana, wena uhlezi ulami, futhi konke okungokwami kungokwakho.
Utata wikamuila, “Ng'waane uewe ukole palung'wi nunene mahiku ehi hange ehi nenkete une ako.
32 Kodwa bekufanele ukujabula lokuthokoza; ngoba umfowenu lo owayefile, usebuye waphila; wayelahlekile, utholiwe.
Inge aaukole iza kitaitu kitume sherehe nukiloelya, umulunako aewakule, nitungo ile, ukole mupanga, aewalimie wigela.
