< ULukha 8 >
1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho, yena wadabula imizi lemizana, ememezela lokutshumayela indaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu; labalitshumi lambili babelaye,
Gwejile gwalabhao mwanya mufuyi Yesu namba okugenda mumisi emitoto ne misi minene, nasimula no kulasha emisango jo bhwana jo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga na bhaliya ekumi na bhabhili bhagendaga amwi nage.
2 labesifazana abathile ababesiliswe kubomoya ababi lemikhuhlaneni, uMariya othiwa nguMagadalena, okwaphuma kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa,
kutyo kutyo bhagasi bhalebhe bhanu bhaliga bhaosibhwe okusoka ku masambwa amabhibhi na malwae gabhuli mbaga. Aliga ali Maliyamu unu atogwaga Magedalena unu aliga asosibhweko amasabwa saba.
3 loJowana umkaKuza induna kaHerodi, loSusana, labanye abanengi, ababemsiza ngempahla zabo.
Yowana omugasi wa Kuza na omukulu wa Helode, Susana, na bhagasi abhandibhamfu, bhanu bhasosishe ebhinu bhyebhwe kwainjuno yebhwe abhene.
4 Kwathi sekubuthene ixuku elikhulu, njalo bevela emizini ngemizi besiza kuye, wakhuluma ngomfanekiso,
Bhejile abhanu bhamfu bhakekumanya amwi, bhalimo na bhanu bhajaga kumwene okusoka mumisi jabhuli mbaga, alomele nabho kwebhijejekanyo.
5 wathi: Umhlanyeli waphuma ukuyahlanyela inhlanyelo yakhe; kwathi ekuhlanyeleni kwakhe, enye yawela eceleni kwendlela; yasinyathelwa ngenyawo, lenyoni zezulu zayidla zayiqeda.
Omuyambi agendele okubhibha jimbibho, anu aliga nayamba, jimbibho ejindi nijigwa kumbali ya injila nijilibhatwa emwalo ya magulu, na jinyonyi ja mulutumba nijijilya.
6 Lenye yawela edwaleni, kwathi ekukhuleni yabuna, ngoba yaswela ubumanzi.
Jimbibho ejindi nijigwa ingulu ya mayalu ganu gali kulutale na jejile jamela nijamba ofuka nijiotoka kulwokubha aliga gutalio munyililo.
7 Lenye yawela phakathi kwameva, ameva asemila layo ayiminyanisa.
Jimbibho ejindi nijigwa mumati na mumawa, amati ago agamawa nigakula amwi na jimbibho ejo niga jinyiga.
8 Lenye yawela emhlabathini omuhle, yakhula yathela ikhulu. Esetshilo lezizinto wamemeza wathi: Olendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
Nawe jimbibho ejindi jaguye mumayalu ga kisi nijibhula amatwasho kukila egana.”Yesu ejile amala okwaika amagambo ago, alomele kwo bhulaka bhunene naikati,”Wona wona unu ali na matwi no gwe.”
9 Abafundi bakhe basebembuza besithi: Ungaba yini lumfanekiso?
Lindi abheigisibhwa bhae nibhamubhusha ingulu ye chijejekanyo echo,
10 Wasesithi: Kuphiwe kini ukwazi imfihlo zombuso kaNkulunkulu; kodwa kwabanye ngemifanekiso, ukuze bebona bangaboni, njalo besizwa bangaqedisisi.
Yesu nabhabhila ati,”Muyanibhwe okumenya imbisike yo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga, tali abhanu abhandi abheeigisibhwa ku lwebhijejekanyo ela, koleleki bhakalola bhatajakulola na bhakongwa bhatajakusombokelwa.'
11 Lomfanekiso uyilokhu: Inhlanyelo iyilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Na inu niyo insonga ye chijejekanyo chinu. Imbibhoni nigambo lya Nyamuanga.
12 Labaseceleni kwendlela yilabo abathi sebezwile, besekufika udiyabhola alisuse ilizwi enhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangakholwa basindiswe.
Jimbibho jinu jaguye ayeyi na kunjila nibho bhanu bhanu abhongwa omusango, omusoko shetani nalisoshamo mumioyo jebhwe, koleleki bhasige okwikilisha nokuchungulwa.
13 Labasedwaleni yilabo, abathi belizwile, balemukele ilizwi ngentokozo, kodwa laba kabalampande, abakholwa okwesikhathi, kuthi ngesikhathi sokulingwa bawe.
Jinu jaguye kulutale ni bhanu bhanu abhongwa omusango nokugulamila kwo kusandabha nawe bhatali na misi jonajona, abhekilisha kwo mwanya mufuyi, no mwanya gwokulegejibhwa nibhagwa.
14 Lewele phakathi kwameva, yilabo abathi sebezwile, bahambe baminyaniswe yikukhathalela lenotho lenkanuko yempilo, njalo bangatheli izithelo ezivuthiweyo.
Na jimbibho jinu jaguye mumawa ni bhanu bhanu abhongwa omusango, nawe bhakagendelela okukula nibhaingililwa nokufulubhendela obhunibhi no bhukonde bhwo bhulame na bhatakwibhula matwasho.
15 Kodwa esemhlabathini omuhle, yilabo abathi belizwile ilizwi balilondoloze enhliziyweni enhle lelungileyo, bathela izithelo ngokubekezela.
Nawe jimbibho jinu jaguye mumayalu gakisi nibhanu bhanu, bhali nobhikeyi ne mioyo jakisi, bhakongwa omusango abhaligwatilila na abhebhula amatwasho go kwikomesha.
16 Njalo kakho othi eselumathise isibane, asembese ngesitsha, kumbe asibeke ngaphansi kombheda, kodwa usibeka esiqobaneni sesibane, ukuze abangenayo babone ukukhanya.
Woli anu, atalio nolo umwi, unu kakongesha itala naifundikila naimbakuli au naita mubhutalaasi. Nalema okuita kungango koleleki bhuli unu kengila abhone okuilola.
17 Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo, okungasoze kube sobala; lokuthukuziweyo, okungayikwaziwa lokungayikulethwa obala.
Kulwokubha chitalio chinu chiliseleka nichilema okumenyekana, au chonachona chinu chili cha mumbisike chinu chitali bhonekana kubwelu.
18 Ngakho qaphelisani ukuthi lizwa njani; ngoba loba ngubani olakho, uzaphiwa; kodwa loba ngubani ongelakho, uzakwemukwa lalokho acabanga ukuthi ulakho.
Kulwejo nubhe mwengeso anu ulabhaga nutegelesha. Kulwokubha unu ali nacho, kongesibhwa lindi, nawe unu atanacho nolo kanu alinako akatilu kona akagegibhwa.”
19 Kwasekufika kuye unina labafowabo, kodwa abazange bamfinyelele ngenxa yexuku.
Eile nyilamwene Yesu na bhamula bhabho nibhaja kumwene bhatamulebhelee kulwokubha lyaliga lilio eijo enene lya bhanu.
20 Wasebikelwa ngabanye abathi: Unyoko labafowenu bemi phandle, bafuna ukukubona.
Nibhamubhwila,”Nyokomwana na bhamula bhanyu bhalianja abhakwenda.
21 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Umama labafowethu yilabo, abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu balenze.
Nawe Yesu, nabhasubhya naikati,”Mayi wani na bhamula bhasu ni bhanu abhongwa omusango gwa Nyamuanga no kugwimako.”
22 Kwasekusithi ngolunye lwezinsuku, wangena emkhunjini yena labafundi bakhe, wasesithi kubo: Asichaphele ngaphetsheya kwechibi; basuka-ke.
Munaku ejo Yesu na bheigisibhwa bhae nibhalinya mubhwato, nabhabhwila ati, “Chambuke chigende ku ngego ya kabhili yo mwalo.” Nibhachumachuma obhwato bhwebhwe.
23 Kwathi behamba ngomkhumbi, walala ubuthongo; isiphepho esikhulu somoya sasesisehlela phansi echibini, bagcwalelwa ngamanzi, babesengozini.
Nawe bhejile bhamba okwimuka, Yesu namama naongela, nomuyaga mwamfu ogwe chiule, obhwato bhwebhwe nibhwijula amanji bhaliga bhali munyanko nene muno.
24 Basebesondela bamvusa, besithi: Nkosi, nkosi, siyabhubha! Wasevuka wakhuza umoya lamagagasi amakhulu amanzi; kwasekusima, kwasekusiba lokuthula.
Bheile abheigisibhwa bhae nibhamwimusha, nibhaikati,”Latabhugenyi mkulu! Latabhugenyi mkulu! chiliayeyi okufwa!”Nemuka nagonya omuyaga na makonjo ga manji nigafungama na ndibha etole.
25 Wasesithi kubo: Lungaphi ukholo lwenu? Basebesesaba bamangala, bakhulumisana besithi: Kambe ungubani lo, ukuthi alaye ngitsho imimoya lamanzi, njalo kumlalele?
Lindi nabhabhwila ati,”Elikilisha lyemwe liliaki?”Nibhobhaya, Nibhatanga'ngala, nibhaikana bhuli munu no wejabho,”Unu niga, unu kagonya omuyaga na manji nigafung'ama?”
26 Basebesiya ngomkhumbi elizweni lamaGadarene, eliqondene leGalili.
Nibhakinga mumusi gwa Gelasini inu ili inyuma yo musi gwa Galilaya.
27 Kwathi esephumele emhlabathini, yamhlangabeza indoda ethile ivela emzini, eyayilamadimoni okwesikhathi eside, njalo ingembathi isembatho, ingahlali endlini, kodwa emangcwabeni.
Yesu ejile atuka nataja kuchalo, omunu umwi okusoka mujini, nabhugangana nage, no munu unu aliga ali na masabhwa. kwo mwanya mulela aliga atakufwala ngubho, na aliga atakwikala munyumba, tali aliga nekala enu bhasikaga abhafuye.
28 Yathi imbona uJesu, yamemeza, yawa phansi phambi kwakhe, yathi ngelizwi elikhulu: Ngilani lawe, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungangihluphi.
Ejile amulola Yesu nalila kwo bhulaka, nagwa ansi imbele yae. kwo bhulaka bhunene naikati, Nakoleleki anye kwawe, Yesu omwana wa Nyamuanga unu ali ingulu? Enikulembeleja, utaja kunyasha anye”
29 Ngoba walaya umoya ongcolileyo ukuthi aphume kulowomuntu; ngoba wayesembambe okwezikhathi ezinengi, walindwa ebotshiwe ngamaketane lezibopho, kodwa eseqamule izibopho waqhutshelwa enkangala lidimoni.
Yesu nalagilila amasabwa ago amabhibhi gamusokeko omunu oyo, kulwokubha mwanya mwamfu aliga asalile. Nolwo kutyo aliga abhoelwe ne minyololo no kutulwa ansi yo bhangalisi, abhutulaga nokulibhasibhwa okukinga mwibhala.
30 UJesu wasembuza, wathi: Ungubani ibizo lakho? Wasesithi: NguLegiyoni; ngoba amadimoni amanengi ayengene kuye.
Yesu namubhusha ati,”Lisina lyao nawega?”nasubhya naikati, “Legioni”Kulwokubha amasabwa mamfu gengiye kumwene.
31 Asemncenga ukuthi angawalayi ukuya emgodini ongelamkhawulo. (Abyssos )
Njigendelela okumulembeleja utachilagilila okuja mulyobho. (Abyssos )
32 Kwakukhona lapho umhlambi wengulube ezinengi usidla entabeni; asemncenga ukuthi awavumele angene kuzo. Wasewavumela.
Liijo lya jingulubhe lyaliga ndilebhwa ingulu ya libhanga, nibhamulembeleja abhabhile bhengile mu ngulubhe. Nabhekilisisha bhakole kutyo.
33 Kwathi amadimoni esephumile kulowomuntu angena engulubeni; umhlambi wasuphaphatheka usuka eliweni usiya echibini, waminzwa.
Kulwejo amasabwa ago nigamusokako omunu oyo nigengila mungulubhe, na liijo nilibhilimila kuchima nibhagwilila mumanji nibhafwila omwo.
34 Kwathi ababezelusile bebona okwenzakeleyo babaleka, basuka bayabika emzini, lemaphandleni.
Abhanu bhanu bhaliga nibhalebha jingulubhe ejo bhejile bhalola chinu chabhao, nibhabhilima na nibhajaokwaika mumusi na mumisi jinu jaliga jibheindileko.
35 Basebephuma ukuyabona okwenzakeleyo; bafika kuJesu, bamfica umuntu okwakuphume kuye amadimoni ehlezi enyaweni zikaJesu, embethe esephelele engqondweni; basebesesaba.
Abhanu bhejile bhakongwa ago nibhaja okulola jinu jabhonekana, na nibhaja ku Yesu nibhamulola omunu amasabhwa galiga gamusokeleko. aliga afwae kisi na ali no bhwenge bhwa kisi, enyanjile kumagulu ga Yesu, nibhobhaya.
36 Basebebatshela lalabo ababebonile ukuthi usindiswe njani owayengenwe ngamadimoni.
Niwo oumwi webhwe unu alolele chinu chabhonekene namba okubhabhwila abhandi kutyo omunu oyo unu aliga natangasibhwa na masabhwa kutyo eulisibhwa.
37 Ixuku lonke lesigaba samaGadarene esizingelezeleyo laselimcela ukuthi asuke kubo, ngoba babanjwa yikwesaba okukhulu; yena wasengena emkhunjini waphindela emuva.
Abhanu bhona abhomukowa gwa Wagelasi na bhanu bhaliga bhasijene nibhamusabhwa Yesu abhasokeko kulwokubha bhaliga bhali no bhubha bhamfu. Nengila mubhwato nasubhayo.
38 Kodwa indoda okwakuphume kuyo amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ibe laye. Kodwa uJesu wayiyekela yahamba, esithi:
Omunu unu asosibhweko emisabhwa namulembeleja Yesu agende nage, nawe Yesu namubhwila agende no kwaikati,
39 Buyela endlini yakho, ulandise ukuthi kungakanani uNkulunkulu akwenze kuwe. Wasesuka wahamba, etshumayela phakathi komuzi wonke ukuthi kungakanani uJesu ayekwenzile kuye.
“Subha mumusi gwao na ubhale gona ganu Nyamuanga akukolela”. Omunu oyo nagenda, nalasha mumusi gwona ganu Yesu amukolela omwene,
40 Kwasekusithi ekubuyeni kukaJesu, ixuku lamthakazelela; ngoba bonke babemlindele.
Yesu nasubha, abhanu bhamfu nibhamulamila, kulwokubha bhona bhaliga bhamutegelee.
41 Njalo khangela, kwafika indoda, uJayirosi ngebizo, yona ingumphathi wesinagoge, yasisiwa phansi enyaweni zikaJesu yamncenga ukuthi angene endlini yayo;
Lola naja munu umwi unu atogwaga Yailo ni umwi wa bhatangasha mulikofyanyisho. Yailo nagwa mumagulu ga Yesu namwilembeleja agende ika ewae.
42 ngoba yayilendodakazi eyodwa ezelweyo eyayingaba leminyaka elitshumi lambili, njalo yona yayisisifa. Kwathi esahamba amaxuku amcindezela.
Kulwokubha aliga ali no mwana muyala umwila, unu aliga ali ne miyaka kumi ne bhili, ali mumwanya gwo kufwa. Anu aliga nagenda, bhanu bhamfu nibhamuiganya omwene.
43 Lowesifazana owayelomopho wegazi okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, echithe konke okwempilo yakhe kubelaphi engelakusiliswa langubani,
Omugasi unu aululaga insagama kwe miyaka ekumi ne bhili aliga alio awo amalile jiela jae kubhafumu, nawe atalio na umwi unu aliga amuosishe.
44 wasondela ngemva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe; njalo wahle wakhawula umopho wegazi lakhe.
Naja inyuma ya Yesu nakunyako kwipindo lyo mwenda gwae, aonao okusoka insagama kwae nikutemekela.
45 UJesu wasesithi: Ngubani ongithintileyo? Kwathi lapho bephika bonke, uPetro wathi lababelaye: Nkosi, ixuku likuminyanisile likucindezele, kodwa uthi: Ngubani ongithintileyo?
Yesu naikati, Niga unu ankunyako?”Bhejile bhalema bhona, Petelo naikati, Latabhugenyi, abhanu ni bhamfu munu bhanu abhakukula no kukuiganya.”
46 Kodwa uJesu wathi: Ukhona ongithintileyo; ngoba mina ngazile ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.
Nawe Yesu naikati,”Omunu umwi ankunyako, okubha namenya amanaga gansokamo.”
47 Kwathi owesifazana ebona ukuthi kafihlakalanga, weza ethuthumela, wawa phambi kwakhe, walandisa phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi umthinte ngesizatho bani, lokuthi uhle wasila njani.
Omugasi ejile alolati atakutula kuseleka chinu akola, namba okuyalala, nagwa ansi imbele ya Yesu nabhwila abhanu bhona chinu chakola amukunyeko na kutyo eulisibhwa aonao.
48 Wasesithi kuye: Mana isibindi, ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.
Neya naika nage ati,”Muyala, elikilisha lyao lyakola ubhe muanga. Genda no mulembe.”
49 Esakhuluma, kwafika umuntu evela endlini yomphathi wesinagoge, wathi kuye: Indodakazi yakho isifile; ungamhluphi uMfundisi.
Mbe anu aliga achaika, omunu umwi naja okusoka munyumba yo mutangasha we likofyanyisho, naikati,”Omuyansha wao afuye. Siga okumunyasha omwiigisha.”
50 Kodwa uJesu esizwa, wamphendula, wathi: Ungesabi; kholwa kuphela, njalo izasindiswa.
Nawe Yesu ejile ongwa kutyo, namusubhya naikati,”Utaja kubhaya. Ikilishala, nakakila.”
51 Futhi esengenile endlini, kavumanga ukuthi kungene muntu, ngaphandle kukaPetro loJakobe loJohane, loyise wendodakazi lonina.
Mbe bhejile bhengila munyumba eyo, atekilisishe munu undi okwingila nage, tali Petelo, Yowana na Yakobho, esemwene omwana na nyila mwene.
52 Njalo bakhala bonke, beyililela. Kodwa wathi: Lingakhali; kayifanga, kodwa ilele.
Ao abhanu bhona bhaliga nibhalila kwo bhulaka, nawe naikati,”Musige okusekana, achali kufwa, nawe amamilela.”.
53 Basebemhleka usulu, besazi ukuthi ifile.
Nawe nibhamuseka kwo kumugaya, okubha bhaliga bhamenyele ati afuye.
54 Kodwa yena esebakhuphele phandle bonke, wabamba isandla sayo, wamemeza, esithi: Ndodakazi, vuka!
Nawe omwene, namugwata omuyala okubhoko, nabhilikila kwo bhulaka, naika ati,”Mwana imuka”
55 Wasubuya umoya wayo, yasivuka khona lapho; waselaya ukuthi kayiphiwe ukudla.
Omwoyo gwae nigusubhamo, nemuka omwanya ogwo ogwo, Nabhalagilila ati, ayabhwe echinu cho kulya abhone okulya.
56 Abazali bayo basebemangala kakhulu; kodwa wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu okwenzakeleyo.
Abhebhusi bhae nibhalugula, nawe nabhabhwila bhasiga kubhwila munu kutyo jabha.
