ULukha 9
1 Wasebizela ndawonye abafundi bakhe abalitshumi lambili, wabanika amandla legunya phezu kwamadimoni wonke, lawokwelapha izifo.
Jesu akati aunganidza vane Gumi naVaviri vake pamwe chete, akavapa simba nechikuriri kuti vadzinge madhimoni uye vaporese vakanga vane zvirwere,
2 Wasebathuma ukuyatshumayela umbuso kaNkulunkulu, lokusilisa abagulayo,
akavatuma kuti vandoparidza umambo hwaMwari uye vandoporesa vairwara.
3 wasesithi kubo: Lingaphathi lutho lwendlela; lodondolo, lesikhwama, lomphako, lemali, njalo lingabi lezigqoko ezimbili ngamunye.
Akavarayira achiti, “Musatakura chinhu parwendo, mudonzvo, kana hombodo, kana chingwa, kana mari, kana imwe nguo.
4 Lakuyiphi indlu elingena kuyo, hlalani lapho, lalapho lisuke.
Muimba ipi neipi yamunopinda, mugaremo kusvikira mabva muguta imomo.
5 Labo bonke abangalemukeliyo, nxa lisuka kulowomuzi, thintithani ngitsho uthuli enyaweni zenu kube yibufakazi obumelana labo.
Kana vanhu vasingakugamuchiriyi, muzunze guruva retsoka dzenyu pamunenge mabuda muguta ravo, chive chapupu pamusoro pavo.”
6 Basuka-ke bahamba bedabula imizana, betshumayela ivangeli besilisa endaweni zonke.
Saka vakasimuka vakabuda vakaenda kumusha nomusha, vachiparidza vhangeri nokuporesa vanhu kwose kwose.
7 UHerodi umtetrarki wasekuzwa konke okwenziwa nguye; wasedideka, ngoba kwatshiwo ngabanye ukuthi uJohane uvukile kwabafileyo;
Zvino Herodhi mubati akanzwa pamusoro pezvose zvakanga zvichiitika. Akakanganisika, nokuti vamwe vakanga vachiti Johani akanga amutswa kubva kuvakafa,
8 langabanye ukuthi uElija ubonakele; langabanye ukuthi kuvukile omunye wabaprofethi abadala.
vamwe vachiti Eria akanga aonekwa, uyezve vamwe vachiti mumwe wavaprofita vakare akanga amuka.
9 Kodwa uHerodi wathi: UJohane ngamquma ikhanda mina; kodwa ngubani lo, mina engizwa ngaye izinto ezinje? Wasefunisisa ukumbona.
Asi Herodhi akati, “Johani ndakamugura musoro. Zvino, ndianiko uyu wandinonzwa zvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake?” Akaedza kuti amuone.
10 Abaphostoli sebebuyile bambikela konke ababekwenzile. Wasebathatha, wahamba labo bebodwa waya endaweni eyinkangala eyomuzi othiwa yiBhethisayida.
Vapostori vakati vadzoka, vakarondedzera kuna Jesu zvavakanga vaita. Ipapo akavatora vakabva muchivande vakaenda kuguta rainzi Bhetisaidha,
11 Kwathi amaxuku esekwazi, amlandela; wasewemukela, wakhuluma lawo ngombuso kaNkulunkulu, wabasilisa labo abaswele ukusiliswa.
asi vazhinji vakazviziva vakamutevera. Akavagamuchira akataura kwavari nezvoumambo hwaMwari, akaporesa avo vakanga vachida kuporeswa.
12 Ilanga laseliqala ukutshona; abalitshumi lambili basebesiza bathi kuye: Yekela ixuku lihambe, ukuze baye emizaneni lezigabeni ezizingelezeleyo bangenise khona, bathole ukudla; ngoba lapha sisendaweni eyinkangala.
Zuva rovira, vane Gumi Navaviri vakauya kwaari vakati, “Endesai vanhu vazhinji ava kuitira kuti vaende kumisha nokumaruwa akapoteredza kuti vandozvitsvakira zvokudya nepokurara, nokuti tiri musango muno.”
13 Kodwa wathi kubo: Banikeni lina bona ukuthi badle. Bathi-ke: Asilakho okwedlula izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, ngaphandle kokuthi thina siyebathengela ukudla bonke lababantu.
Akavapindura akati, “Vapei imi zvokudya.” Ivo vakati, “Tinongova nezvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri, kunze kwokunge tandotenga zvokudya zvavanhu vazhinji vose ava.”
14 Ngoba kwakukhona amadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu. Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Bahlaliseni phansi ngezigaba ngamatshumi amahlanu.
Pakanga pane varume vangasvika zviuru zvishanu. Asi iye akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Vagarisei pasi vari mumapoka avanhu vangasvika makumi mashanu paboka rimwe nerimwe.”
15 Basebesenza njalo, babahlalisa phansi bonke.
Vadzidzi vakaita saizvozvo, uye munhu wose akagara pasi.
16 Wasezithatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, wakhangela phezulu ezulwini, wazibusisa, wazihlephula, wazinika abafundi ukuthi babeke phambi kwexuku.
Akati atora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri akatarisa kudenga, akavonga ndokuzvimedura. Ipapo akazvipa kuvadzidzi kuti vaise pamberi pavanhu.
17 Basebesidla basutha bonke; kwadojwa imvuthu ezazisele kubo, izitsha ezilitshumi lambili.
Vose vakadya vakaguta, uye vadzidzi vakanonga matengu azere gumi namaviri ezvimedu zvakanga zvasara.
18 Kwasekusithi ekhuleka yedwa, abafundi babelaye; wasebabuza, esithi: Amaxuku athi ngingubani?
Rimwe zuva Jesu akati achinyengetera ari oga uye vadzidzi vake vakanga vanaye, akavabvunza akati, “Vanhu vazhinji vanoti ndini aniko?”
19 Basebephendula bathi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi; kodwa abanye bathi: UElija; kodwa abanye bathi: Kuvukile umprofethi othile wabadala.
Vakapindura vakati, “Vamwe vanoti Johani Mubhabhatidzi, vamwe vachiti Eria, uye vamwezve vachiti, mumwe wavaprofita vakare akamuka kubva kuvakafa.”
20 Wasesithi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani? UPetro wasephendula wathi: UKristu kaNkulunkulu.
Akati kwavari, “Asi, ko, imi munoti ndini ani?” Petro akapindura akati, “Ndimi Kristu waMwari.”
21 Esebaxwayisisile walaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu lokhu,
Jesu akavayambira zvikuru kuti varege kutaura izvi kuna ani zvake.
22 esithi: INdodana yomuntu imele ihlupheke kakhulu, ilahlwe ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, ibulawe, ibisivuswa ngosuku lwesithathu.
Akatizve, “Mwanakomana woMunhu anofanira kutambudzika pazvinhu zvizhinji agorambwa navakuru, vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro, uye anofanira kuurayiwa agomuka pazuva retatu.”
23 Wasesithi kubo bonke: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe insuku ngensuku, angilandele.
Ipapo akati kwavari vose, “Kana munhu achida kunditevera, anofanira kuzviramba atore muchinjikwa wake zuva rimwe nerimwe agonditevera.
24 Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe, izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami, yena uzayisindisa.
Nokuti ani naani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu achahuponesa.
25 Ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu, uba ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa yena uqobo lwakhe azone kumbe alahleke?
Ko, munhu achabatsirwei kana akawana nyika yose, asi agorasikirwa noupenyu hwake.
26 Ngoba loba ngubani olenhloni ngami langamazwi ami, iNdodana yomuntu izakuba lenhloni ngaye, nxa isiza enkazimulweni yayo lekaBaba leyengilosi ezingcwele.
Kana munhu akanyara pamusoro pangu namashoko angu, Mwanakomana woMunhu achanyarawo pamusoro pake paanouya mukubwinya nomukubwinya kwaBaba nokwavatumwa vatsvene.
27 Kodwa ngilitshela ngeqiniso: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti vamwe vamire pano havazofi vasati vaona umambo hwaMwari.”
28 Kwasekusithi emva kwalawomazwi, kungaba zinsuku eziyisificaminwembili, wathatha uPetro loJohane loJakobe, wakhwela entabeni ukuyakhuleka.
Mazuva angasvika masere akati apera, shure kwokunge Jesu ataura izvozvo, akatora Petro naJohani naJakobho pamwe chete naye akakwira mugomo kundonyengetera.
29 Kwasekusithi ekukhulekeni kwakhe, isimo sobuso bakhe saphenduka, lesembatho sakhe saba mhlophe, sacwazimula.
Akati achinyengetera, kuonekwa kwechiso chake kwakashanduka, nguo dzake dzikachena dzikapenya sokupenya kwemheni.
30 Njalo khangela, akhuluma laye amadoda amabili, ayengoMozisi loElija;
Varume vaviri, Mozisi naEria,
31 abonakala ngenkazimulo akhuluma ngokusuka kwakhe ayezakuphelelisa eJerusalema.
vakaonekwa vari mukubwinya, vachitaura naJesu. Vakataura pamusoro pokuzoenda kwake, kwaakanga ondozadzisa paJerusarema.
32 Kodwa uPetro lababelaye babesindwe yibuthongo; kodwa sebephapheme babona inkazimulo yakhe, lamadoda amabili ayemi laye.
Petro navaaiva navo vakanga vava kubatwa nehope, asi vakati vanyatsomuka, vakaona kubwinya kwake uye varume vaviri vamire naye.
33 Kwasekusithi, ekwehlukaneni kwawo laye, uPetro wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, kuhle ukuthi sibe lapha; futhi asakhe amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElija; engakwazi akutshoyo.
Varume ava vakati vobva pana Jesu, Petro akati kwaari, “Tenzi, zvakanaka kuti isu tigare pano. Ngativakei matumba matatu, rimwe renyu, rimwe raMozisi uye rimwe raEria.” Akanga asingazivi zvaaireva.
34 Kwathi ekhuluma lezizinto, kwafika iyezi labasibekela; basebesesaba ekungeneni kwabo eyezini.
Akati achiri kutaura izvi, gore rakasvika rikavafukidza, uye vakatya pavakapinda mugore.
35 Kwasekuphuma ilizwi eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; zwanini yona.
Inzwi rakabva mugore, rikati, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu, musanangurwa wangu; muteererei.”
36 Kwathi ilizwi selifikile, uJesu waficwa eyedwa. Kodwa bona bathula, kabaze batshela muntu ngalezonsuku okunye kwalezozinto abazibonileyo.
Inzwi rakati rataura izvozvo, vakaona Jesu ava oga. Vadzidzi vakanyarara, vakasaudza munhu zvavakanga vaona panguva iyoyo.
37 Kwasekusithi ngelanga elilandelayo, sebehlile entabeni, ixuku elikhulu lamhlangabeza.
Fume mangwana, pavakaburuka mugomo, vazhinji zhinji vakasangana naye.
38 Njalo khangela, indoda exukwini yamemeza, isithi: Mfundisi, ngiyakuncenga, bona indodana yami, ngoba yiyo yodwa ezelweyo yami;
Mumwe murume akanga ari pakati pavanhu vazhinji akadanidzira achiti, “Mudzidzisi, ndinokukumbirai kuti muonewo mwanakomana wangu, nokuti ndiye oga mwana wangu.
39 njalo khangela, umoya uyayibamba, futhi ihle iklabalale, njalo uyihlukuze, ikhihlize amagwebu, uphume nzima kuyo, uyihluzule.
Mweya wakaipa unomubata pakarepo oridza mhere; wobva womubvundisa achipupuma furo pamuromo. Haudi kumuregedza uye unomuparadza.
40 Njalo ngincenge abafundi bakho ukuthi bawukhuphe, kodwa abenelisanga.
Ndakakumbira vadzidzi venyu kuti vaudzinge, asi vakasagona.”
41 UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyo, kuzaze kube nini ngilani, ngilibekezelela? Ilethe lapha indodana yakho.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa rudzi rusingatendi, rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko ndichikuitirai mwoyo murefu? Uyai pano nomwanakomana wenyu.”
42 Kuthe iseza, idimoni layidabula layihlukuza; kodwa uJesu wawukhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wamsilisa umntwana, wambuyisela kuyise.
Kunyange pakanga pachiuya mukomana, dhimoni rakamuwisira pasi rikamubvundisa. Asi akarayira mweya wakaipa, akaporesa mukomana ndokubva amudzosera kuna baba vake.
43 Bonke basebemangaliswa kakhulu yibukhulu bukaNkulunkulu. Kwathi bemangele bonke ngazo zonke izinto uJesu azenzileyo, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
Uye vose vakashamiswa noukuru hwaMwari. Vanhu vose pavakanga vachakashamiswa nezvose zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, akati kuvadzidzi vake,
44 Fakani lina endlebeni zenu lamazwi: Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu.
“Teereresai kune zvandiri kuda kukutaurirai: Mwanakomana woMunhu ava kuzopandukirwa agoiswa mumaoko avanhu.”
45 Kodwa kabaqedisisanga lumutsho, njalo wawufihlakele kubo, ukuze bangawuzwisisi; basebesesaba ukumbuza ngalumutsho.
Asi havana kunzwisisa kuti zvairevei. Zvakanga zvakavanzika kwavari, naizvozvo havana kuzvibata, uye vakanga vachitya kumubvunza pamusoro pazvo.
46 Kwasekungena ukuphikisana phakathi kwabo, ukuthi ngubani ongaba mkhulu kubo.
Nharo dzakatanga pakati pavadzidzi dzokuti mukuru ndiani.
47 Kwathi uJesu ebona ukunakana kwenhliziyo yabo, wathatha umntwana omncane, wammisa phansi kwakhe,
Jesu, achiziva kufunga kwavo, akatora mwana muduku ndokumumisa parutivi rwake.
48 wasesithi kubo: Loba ngubani owemukela lumntwana omncane ebizweni lami wemukela mina; njalo loba ngubani owemukela mina wemukela ongithumileyo; ngoba omncinyane kini lonke nguye ozakuba mkhulu.
Ipapo akati kwavari, “Ani naani anogamuchira mwana muduku uyu muzita rangu anondigamuchira; uye ani naani anondigamuchira, anogamuchira uyo akandituma. Nokuti muduku pakati penyu mose ndiye mukuru.”
49 UJohane wasephendula wathi: Nkosi, sabona omunye ekhupha amadimoni ngebizo lakho, sasesimenqabela, ngoba engalandeli kanye lathi.
Johani akati, “Tenzi, takaona mumwe murume achidzinga madhimoni muzita renyu uye tikaedza kumudzivisa, nokuti haazi mumwe wedu.”
50 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Lingamenqabeli, ngoba ongamelani lathi ungakithi.
Jesu akati, “Musamudzivisa, nokuti ani naani asingapesani nemi ndowenyu.”
51 Kwathi seziphelelisiwe insuku zokwenyuka kwakhe, yena wasekhangelisa ubuso bakhe ukuya eJerusalema,
Nguva yakati yasvika yokuti akwidzwe kudenga, Jesu akafunga zvokuenda kuJerusarema.
52 wasethuma izithunywa phambi kobuso bakhe; zasezihamba zangena emzaneni wamaSamariya, ukuze zimlungisele.
Uye akatuma nhume pamberi pake, dzikapinda mumusha weSamaria kundofanomugadzirira zvinhu;
53 Kodwa kawamemukelanga, ngoba ubuso bakhe babukhangele eJerusalema.
asi vanhu voko havana kumugamuchira, nokuti akanga ava kuenda kuJerusarema.
54 Kwathi abafundi bakhe uJakobe loJohane bebona lokhu bathi: Nkosi, uyathanda yini ukuthi sitsho ukuthi umlilo wehle uvela ezulwini, ubaqothule, njengoba loElija wenza?
Vadzidzi Jakobho naJohani vakati vaona izvi, vakabvunza vakati, “Ishe, munoda here kuti tidane moto uburuke kubva kudenga kuti uvaparadze?”
55 Kodwa watshibilika wabakhuza, esithi: Alazi ukuthi lina lingabomoya onjani.
Asi Jesu akatendeuka akavatsiura,
56 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukuthi ibhubhise imiphefumulo yabantu, kodwa ukuyisindisa. Basebesedlulela komunye umzana.
uye akabva akaenda kuno mumwe musha.
57 Kwasekusithi behamba endleleni, umuntu othile wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngizakulandela loba ngaphi lapho oya khona.
Vakati vachifamba mumugwagwa, mumwe murume akati, “Ndichakuteverai kwose kwamunoenda.”
58 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Amakhanka alemilindi, lenyoni zezulu zilezidleke; kodwa iNdodana yomuntu kayilalapho engaqamelisa ikhanda khona.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Makava ane mwena yawo uye shiri dzedenga dzine matendere adzo, asi Mwanakomana woMunhu haana paangatsamidza musoro wake.”
59 Wasesithi komunye: Ngilandela. Kodwa yena wathi: Nkosi, ngivumela ukuthi ngiyengcwaba ubaba kuqala.
Akati kuno mumwe murume, “Nditevere.” Asi murume uyu akapindura akati, “Ishe, nditenderei kuti ndinoviga baba vangu.”
60 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Yekela abafileyo bangcwabe ababo abafileyo; kodwa wena hamba utshumayele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Jesu akati kwaari, “Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo, asi iwe enda undoparidza umambo hwaMwari.”
61 Lomunye wasesithi: Ngizakulandela, Nkosi; kodwa ngivumela kuqala ukuthi ngiyevalelisa abasendlini yami.
Mumwezve akati, “Ndichakuteverai, Ishe; asi kutanga regai ndimbondoonekana nemhuri yangu.”
62 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Kakho othi esebeke isandla sakhe ekhubeni, akhangele kokusemuva, ofanele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Hakuna munhu anoti kana akaisa ruoko rwake pagejo akacheuka angafanirwa nokushumira muumambo hwaMwari.”
