ULukha 8
1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho, yena wadabula imizi lemizana, ememezela lokutshumayela indaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu; labalitshumi lambili babelaye,
Kufumapo Yesu walendana muminshi, kaya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa Bwami bwa Lesa, walikuba ne beshikwiya bali likumi ne babili.
2 labesifazana abathile ababesiliswe kubomoya ababi lemikhuhlaneni, uMariya othiwa nguMagadalena, okwaphuma kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa,
Ne batukashi nabamb balafunyiwa mishimu yaipa ne malwashi, Maliya waku Magadala uyo walikukute mishimu yaipa isanu ne ibili
3 loJowana umkaKuza induna kaHerodi, loSusana, labanye abanengi, ababemsiza ngempahla zabo.
Yowana mukashi wa Kuza uyo walikuba kapitawo wa Helode, Susana, kayi ne nabambi bangi balikunyamfwilisha Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi kusebensesha mali abo.
4 Kwathi sekubuthene ixuku elikhulu, njalo bevela emizini ngemizi besiza kuye, wakhuluma ngomfanekiso,
Bantu bangi balabungana kwalikuba Yesu kufuma muminshi. Lino nendi walabapa mukoshanyo eti,
5 wathi: Umhlanyeli waphuma ukuyahlanyela inhlanyelo yakhe; kwathi ekuhlanyeleni kwakhe, enye yawela eceleni kwendlela; yasinyathelwa ngenyawo, lenyoni zezulu zayidla zayiqeda.
“Kwalikuba muntu umbi walaya akumwaya imbuto. Lino mpwalikumwaya, shimbi imbuto shalalakila munshila shalalyataulwa, bikeni byalashilya.
6 Lenye yawela edwaleni, kwathi ekukhuleni yabuna, ngoba yaswela ubumanzi.
Shimbi mbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwamabwe. Mposhalamena, misonga yalatatika kuyuma pakwinga kwalabula katonto mubulongo,
7 Lenye yawela phakathi kwameva, ameva asemila layo ayiminyanisa.
Shimbi imbuto shalalakila patufukusa twa myunga, lino tufukusa pakukula twalatatika kushantilila.
8 Lenye yawela emhlabathini omuhle, yakhula yathela ikhulu. Esetshilo lezizinto wamemeza wathi: Olendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
Nomba shimbi imbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwaina. Shalakula ne kwikata myanda myanda.” Lino Yesu walamba ne liswi lyapelu kwambeti, “uyo ukute matwi, anyumfwe!”
9 Abafundi bakhe basebembuza besithi: Ungaba yini lumfanekiso?
Beshikwiya bakendi balamwipusha pabupandulwishi bwa mukoshanyo uwu.
10 Wasesithi: Kuphiwe kini ukwazi imfihlo zombuso kaNkulunkulu; kodwa kwabanye ngemifanekiso, ukuze bebona bangaboni, njalo besizwa bangaqedisisi.
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Amwe mwalapewa kwinshiba bintu byasolama bya Bwami bwa Lesa. Nsombi bambi bakute kunyumfwa bambilwa mumikoshanyo ekwambeti, ‘balangishishe, nomba babule kubona’ Kayi ‘Bakutike, nsombi batanyumfwishisha.’”
11 Lomfanekiso uyilokhu: Inhlanyelo iyilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Kupandulula kwa mukoshanyo wa mbuto ni uku, imbuto ni Maswi a Lesa.
12 Labaseceleni kwendlela yilabo abathi sebezwile, besekufika udiyabhola alisuse ilizwi enhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangakholwa basindiswe.
Isho imbuto shalalakila munshila shakoshana ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, nomba pacindi cing'ana, Satana ukute kwafunya mumyoyo yabo kwambeti babule kushoma ne kupuluka.
13 Labasedwaleni yilabo, abathi belizwile, balemukele ilizwi ngentokozo, kodwa laba kabalampande, abakholwa okwesikhathi, kuthi ngesikhathi sokulingwa bawe.
Isho imbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwa mabwe shakoshana ne bantu abo balanyumfunga Maswi a Lesa ne kwatambula cakusangalala sombi pakwinga baliya miyanda yashimpa bakute kushoma kwa kacindi kang'ana neco na balasunkwa bakute kuwa.
14 Lewele phakathi kwameva, yilabo abathi sebezwile, bahambe baminyaniswe yikukhathalela lenotho lenkanuko yempilo, njalo bangatheli izithelo ezivuthiweyo.
Isho imbuto shalalakila pamyunga shakoshana ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, nomba miyeyo yakuyanda bubile ne byeshikukondwelesha bikute kubakoma, neco nkabekata bisepo byakoma,
15 Kodwa esemhlabathini omuhle, yilabo abathi belizwile ilizwi balilondoloze enhliziyweni enhle lelungileyo, bathela izithelo ngokubekezela.
Nsombi isho shalalakila mubulongo bwaina, shakosna ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, ne kwaikata ne kushoma mumyoyo yabo yaina, neco bakute kulimbikila mpaka kwikata bisepo.
16 Njalo kakho othi eselumathise isibane, asembese ngesitsha, kumbe asibeke ngaphansi kombheda, kodwa usibeka esiqobaneni sesibane, ukuze abangenayo babone ukukhanya.
“Kuliya muntu welela kumunika lampi ne kulifwekelela ne nongo nambi kubika mwinshi lyatebulu. Nsombi ukute ubika pelu kwambeti limunikile abo beti bengile mung'anda.”
17 Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo, okungasoze kube sobala; lokuthukuziweyo, okungayikwaziwa lokungayikulethwa obala.
“Pakwinga kuliya cintu casolama ceti cikabule kuyubulululwa patuba, kayi cintu ciliconse casolekwa ni cikabonekele patuba.
18 Ngakho qaphelisani ukuthi lizwa njani; ngoba loba ngubani olakho, uzaphiwa; kodwa loba ngubani ongelakho, uzakwemukwa lalokho acabanga ukuthi ulakho.
“Neco kamucenjelani mbuli ncomukute kunyufwa Maswi a Lesa. Pakwinga uyo ukute kendi nakabikilwepo, nsombi uyo wabula kantu nibakamulamune konse nkakute.”
19 Kwasekufika kuye unina labafowabo, kodwa abazange bamfinyelele ngenxa yexuku.
Lino banyina Yesu ne bamakwabo balashika nkwalikuba, lino baliya kucikonsha kushika pepi nendiye pacebo cakwambeti bantu balikuba bangi.
20 Wasebikelwa ngabanye abathi: Unyoko labafowenu bemi phandle, bafuna ukukubona.
Lino muntu naumbi walambila Yesu eti, “Bamanyenu ne bakwenu bemana pansa, balandanga kumubona.”
21 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Umama labafowethu yilabo, abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu balenze.
Nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Bama ne bakwetu niyabo beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa nekwinsa ncalambanga.”
22 Kwasekusithi ngolunye lwezinsuku, wangena emkhunjini yena labafundi bakhe, wasesithi kubo: Asichaphele ngaphetsheya kwechibi; basuka-ke.
Busuba nabumbi Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balengila mubwato, Yesu walambeti, “Katutampukilani kutala kwa lwenje kusa.” Popelapo balanyamuka.
23 Kwathi behamba ngomkhumbi, walala ubuthongo; isiphepho esikhulu somoya sasesisehlela phansi echibini, bagcwalelwa ngamanzi, babesengozini.
Lino bwato mpobwalikuya, Yesu walona. Kwalesa cilukupwe cinene pamenshi. Bwato bwalatatika kwisula ne menshi kabuyanda pepi nekwibila.
24 Basebesondela bamvusa, besithi: Nkosi, nkosi, siyabhubha! Wasevuka wakhuza umoya lamagagasi amakhulu amanzi; kwasekusima, kwasekusiba lokuthula.
Kufumapo beshikwiya balaya kuli Yesu ne kumwambileti, “Mwami, Mwami, kamupundukani tulafu!” Lino Yesu walapunduka walakalalila lukupwe ne mankape alamwena tonto
25 Wasesithi kubo: Lungaphi ukholo lwenu? Basebesesaba bamangala, bakhulumisana besithi: Kambe ungubani lo, ukuthi alaye ngitsho imimoya lamanzi, njalo kumlalele?
Lino Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Nomba lushomo lwenu lulikupeyo?” Nabo balatina nekupwilwa mano nkabepushanyeti, “Nomba uyu nimuntu uli econi lambilinga lukupwe nalo lulamunyumfwilinga?”
26 Basebesiya ngomkhumbi elizweni lamaGadarene, eliqondene leGalili.
Balo balashika kucishi ca Gelasa calangana ne cishi ca Galileya.
27 Kwathi esephumele emhlabathini, yamhlangabeza indoda ethile ivela emzini, eyayilamadimoni okwesikhathi eside, njalo ingembathi isembatho, ingahlali endlini, kodwa emangcwabeni.
Yesu mpwalafuma mubwato walakumanya, mutuloba naumbi walafuma mumunshi. Mutuloba usa walikukute mishimu yaipa. Lingi walikwenda matakosha, nkalikwikala pa ng'anda nsombi mumaceni akumanda.
28 Yathi imbona uJesu, yamemeza, yawa phansi phambi kwakhe, yathi ngelizwi elikhulu: Ngilani lawe, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungangihluphi.
Mpwalamubona Yesu, walolobesha ne kufukama kuntangu ne kwamba ne liswi lya pelu eti, “Nomba ndamwinshi cani amwe Yesu mwanendi Lesa wakwilu wapitapo? Ndamusengenga mutampesha.”
29 Ngoba walaya umoya ongcolileyo ukuthi aphume kulowomuntu; ngoba wayesembambe okwezikhathi ezinengi, walindwa ebotshiwe ngamaketane lezibopho, kodwa eseqamule izibopho waqhutshelwa enkangala lidimoni.
Walambeco pakwinga Yesu walambila mushimu waipa eti ufumemo muli endiye. Mankanda angi mushimu wamwikata, nambi bantu bamusunga makasa ne ncetani kayi ne nshimbi kumyendo eti bamululamike, wali kasutula. Lino mishimu yaipa yalikumutwala ku cisuwa.
30 UJesu wasembuza, wathi: Ungubani ibizo lakho? Wasesithi: NguLegiyoni; ngoba amadimoni amanengi ayengene kuye.
Lino Yesu wamwipusheti, “Njobe bani?” Neye walakumbuleti, “Njame likoto” Walambeco pakwinga walikukute mishimu yaipa ingi.
Lino popelapo mishimu yaipa iyo yalamupapata Yesu eti ataitandanyina kucisengu citali. (Abyssos g12)
32 Kwakukhona lapho umhlambi wengulube ezinengi usidla entabeni; asemncenga ukuthi awavumele angene kuzo. Wasewavumela.
Lino mwinshi mwa mulundu mwalikuba litanga linene lya nkumba lyali kalilya. lino mishimu yaipa isa yalasenga Yesu eti yenga ingile munkumba isho, neye walaisuminisha.
33 Kwathi amadimoni esephumile kulowomuntu angena engulubeni; umhlambi wasuphaphatheka usuka eliweni usiya echibini, waminzwa.
Lino yalafumamo mumutuloba usa ne kwingila munkumba, Lino litanga lyonse lyalaselemukila kumukolo lubilo kuya kulwenje nekuya kuliwalamo nekufwilamo.
34 Kwathi ababezelusile bebona okwenzakeleyo babaleka, basuka bayabika emzini, lemaphandleni.
Beshikwembela nkumba mpobalaboneco, balaya akwambila bantu balikwikala mumusena kayi ne muminshi calenshika.
35 Basebephuma ukuyabona okwenzakeleyo; bafika kuJesu, bamfica umuntu okwakuphume kuye amadimoni ehlezi enyaweni zikaJesu, embethe esephelele engqondweni; basebesesaba.
Neco bantu balesa akubona calenshika. Mpobalashika kwalikuba Yesu, balacana muntu walafunyiwa mishimu yaipa wekala pepi ne Yesu kaliwafwala, mano kali akwana cena. Lino bantu balatina.
36 Basebebatshela lalabo ababebonile ukuthi usindiswe njani owayengenwe ngamadimoni.
Bantu balabona byalenshika balambila bantu mbuli ncalaba cena muntu uyo walikuba ne mishimu yaipa.
37 Ixuku lonke lesigaba samaGadarene esizingelezeleyo laselimcela ukuthi asuke kubo, ngoba babanjwa yikwesaba okukhulu; yena wasengena emkhunjini waphindela emuva.
Lino bantu bonse balikwikala mucishi ca Gelasa balapapatila Yesu eti afumemo mucishi cabo pacebo cakwambeti balatina. Kufumapo walengila mubwato kwambeti abwelele
38 Kodwa indoda okwakuphume kuyo amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ibe laye. Kodwa uJesu wayiyekela yahamba, esithi:
Lino mutuloba uyo walafunyiwa mishimu yaipa walasenga Yesu eti benga bonse, linoYesu walamukanisha ne kumwambileti,
39 Buyela endlini yakho, ulandise ukuthi kungakanani uNkulunkulu akwenze kuwe. Wasesuka wahamba, etshumayela phakathi komuzi wonke ukuthi kungakanani uJesu ayekwenzile kuye.
“Bwelela kucomwenu uye wambe bintu byonse Lesa mbyalakwinshili. Popelapo muntu usa walaya mumunshi wonse kaya kwamba sha bintu Yesu mbyalamwinshila.”
40 Kwasekusithi ekubuyeni kukaJesu, ixuku lamthakazelela; ngoba bonke babemlindele.
Lino Yesu mpwalabwelela kulubasu lumbi lwa lwenje bantu bangi balamutambula, balikuba bakondwa pakwinga bonse bali kaba mupembelela.
41 Njalo khangela, kwafika indoda, uJayirosi ngebizo, yona ingumphathi wesinagoge, yasisiwa phansi enyaweni zikaJesu yamncenga ukuthi angene endlini yayo;
Lino kwalesa muntu wali kukwiweti Yailo uyo wali kutangunina ng'anda yakupaililamo walesa kusuntama kuntangu kwa Yesu ne kumusengeti ayenga kung'anda yakendi.
42 ngoba yayilendodakazi eyodwa ezelweyo eyayingaba leminyaka elitshumi lambili, njalo yona yayisisifa. Kwathi esahamba amaxuku amcindezela.
pakwinga mwanendi mutukashi wa myaka likumi ne ibili mwana umowa, ngwalikukute wali kakolwa cakwambeti ngofwa. Yesu mpwalikuya, bantu bangi balamushankanya.
43 Lowesifazana owayelomopho wegazi okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, echithe konke okwempilo yakhe kubelaphi engelakusiliswa langubani,
Palikuba mutukashi naumbi walikukolwa bulwashi bwa mukunko kwa byaka likumi ne bibili. Walapwisha buboni bwakendi bonse mubang'anga, nsombi kuliya muntu nambi umo walakonsha kumusengula.
44 wasondela ngemva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe; njalo wahle wakhawula umopho wegazi lakhe.
Mutukashi uyo walesa kunyuma kwa Yesu pabantu bangi balikuba bamushinguluka nekwikata kucelele kwamunganjo wakendi, popelapo bulwashi bwamukunko bwalapwa.
45 UJesu wasesithi: Ngubani ongithintileyo? Kwathi lapho bephika bonke, uPetro wathi lababelaye: Nkosi, ixuku likuminyanisile likucindezele, kodwa uthi: Ngubani ongithintileyo?
Neco Yesu walepusheti, “Niyani lanjikata ku munganjo?” Bonse bantu balakana eti paliyawa. Petulo walambeti, “Kufula bantu balamukumyunga kayi bantu balamushankanyanga.”
46 Kodwa uJesu wathi: Ukhona ongithintileyo; ngoba mina ngazile ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.
Lino Yesu walambeti, “Nkwali muntu naumbi lanjikata kumunganjo, pakwinga ndanyumfu ngofu shimbi shilafumumo mulinjame.”
47 Kwathi owesifazana ebona ukuthi kafihlakalanga, weza ethuthumela, wawa phambi kwakhe, walandisa phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi umthinte ngesizatho bani, lokuthi uhle wasila njani.
Lino mutukashi usa mpwalaboneti nkela kusolamapo walalitwala kuli Yesu nkatutuma walawa kuntangu kwakendi Yesu. Ne kwamba byonse pamenso a bantu kabanyumfwa mbuli ncalamwikata kumunganjo ne kuba cena pacindi copeleco.
48 Wasesithi kuye: Mana isibindi, ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.
Yesu walamwambileti, “Mwaname, pakwinga washoma njame, koya mulumuno.”
49 Esakhuluma, kwafika umuntu evela endlini yomphathi wesinagoge, wathi kuye: Indodakazi yakho isifile; ungamhluphi uMfundisi.
Yesu kacamba kwalesa muntu kufuma ku ng'anda ya mukulene wa ng'anda yakupaililamo ne kumwambila Yailo eti, “Mwanenu lafu kendi, mutapensha beshikwiyisha.”
50 Kodwa uJesu esizwa, wamphendula, wathi: Ungesabi; kholwa kuphela, njalo izasindiswa.
Yesu mpwalanyumfwa makani ayo walambila Yailo eti, “Utatina, koshoma, mwanobe nabe cena.”
51 Futhi esengenile endlini, kavumanga ukuthi kungene muntu, ngaphandle kukaPetro loJakobe loJohane, loyise wendodakazi lonina.
Yesu mpwalashika kung'anda ya Yailo liya kusuminisha muntu nambi umo eti engilemo, nsombi Petulo, Yohane, ne Jemusi kayi ne baishi nebanyina ba mwana.
52 Njalo bakhala bonke, beyililela. Kodwa wathi: Lingakhali; kayifanga, kodwa ilele.
Bantu bonse mung'anda bali kabalila mwana mutukashi walikuba wafwa. Necikabeco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamucilekani kulila pakwinga uyu mwana nkafwapo, wonowa tulo.”
53 Basebemhleka usulu, besazi ukuthi ifile.
Popelapo bonse balamuwela, pakwinga bonse balikwi shibeti lafu kendi.
54 Kodwa yena esebakhuphele phandle bonke, wabamba isandla sayo, wamemeza, esithi: Ndodakazi, vuka!
Lino Yesu walekata mwana uyo pacikasa nekwambeti, “Mwana obe punduka!”
55 Wasubuya umoya wayo, yasivuka khona lapho; waselaya ukuthi kayiphiwe ukudla.
Popelapo walaba muyumi, walanyamuka. Lino Yesu walabambileti bamupe cakulya mwana alye.
56 Abazali bayo basebemangala kakhulu; kodwa wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu okwenzakeleyo.
Baishi ne banyina ba mwana uyo balakankamana. Lino Yesu walabambileti kamutaya kwambila muntu uliyense pamakani aya alenshiki.
