ULukha 9
1 Wasebizela ndawonye abafundi bakhe abalitshumi lambili, wabanika amandla legunya phezu kwamadimoni wonke, lawokwelapha izifo.
Zvino wakadanira pamwe vadzidzi vake gumi nevaviri, akavapa simba nechikuriri pamusoro pemadhimoni ese, nekuporesa zvirwere.
2 Wasebathuma ukuyatshumayela umbuso kaNkulunkulu, lokusilisa abagulayo,
Akavatuma kuparidza ushe hwaMwari nekuporesa varwere.
3 wasesithi kubo: Lingaphathi lutho lwendlela; lodondolo, lesikhwama, lomphako, lemali, njalo lingabi lezigqoko ezimbili ngamunye.
Zvino akati kwavari: Musatakura chinhu cherwendo, kana mudonzvo, kana nhava, kana chingwa, kana mari; uye musava nenguvo refu mbiri umwe neumwe.
4 Lakuyiphi indlu elingena kuyo, hlalani lapho, lalapho lisuke.
Uye imba ipi neipi yamunopinda mairi, garaimo, mugobvamo.
5 Labo bonke abangalemukeliyo, nxa lisuka kulowomuzi, thintithani ngitsho uthuli enyaweni zenu kube yibufakazi obumelana labo.
Uye ani nani asingakugamuchirii, kana mobuda paguta iro, zuzai kunyange guruva patsoka dzenyu, huve uchapupu hunopikisana navo.
6 Basuka-ke bahamba bedabula imizana, betshumayela ivangeli besilisa endaweni zonke.
Zvino vakabva vakaenda vachigura nemumisha yese, vachiparidza evhangeri, nekuporesa pese-pese.
7 UHerodi umtetrarki wasekuzwa konke okwenziwa nguye; wasedideka, ngoba kwatshiwo ngabanye ukuthi uJohane uvukile kwabafileyo;
Zvino Herodhe, umwe wevatongi vana, wakanzwa zvese zvakaitwa naye; akakanganisika, nokuti zvairehwa nevamwe kuti Johwani wakange amuka kubva kuvakafa;
8 langabanye ukuthi uElija ubonakele; langabanye ukuthi kuvukile omunye wabaprofethi abadala.
nevamwe kuti Eria waonekwa; nevamwe kuti umwe muporofita wevekare wamuka.
9 Kodwa uHerodi wathi: UJohane ngamquma ikhanda mina; kodwa ngubani lo, mina engizwa ngaye izinto ezinje? Wasefunisisa ukumbona.
Asi Herodhe wakati: Johwani ndakagura musoro ini; asi ndiani uyu, ini wandinonzwa zvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake? Akatsvaka kumuona.
10 Abaphostoli sebebuyile bambikela konke ababekwenzile. Wasebathatha, wahamba labo bebodwa waya endaweni eyinkangala eyomuzi othiwa yiBhethisayida.
Zvino vaapositori vakati vadzoka, vakamurondedzera zvese zvavakange vaita. Akavatora, akaenda navo vari vega kunzvimbo yerenje reguta rinonzi Bhetisaidha.
11 Kwathi amaxuku esekwazi, amlandela; wasewemukela, wakhuluma lawo ngombuso kaNkulunkulu, wabasilisa labo abaswele ukusiliswa.
Zvino zvaunga zvakati zvazviziva, zvikamutevera; akavagamuchira, akataura kwavari zveushe hwaMwari, akaporesa vakange 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 raiva rotanga kuvira; vanegumi nevaviri vakaswedera vakati kwaari: Regai chaunga chiende, kuti vaende kumisha nekuruwa rwakapoteredza, vagare, vawane kudya; nokuti pano patiri panzvimbo yerenje.
13 Kodwa wathi kubo: Banikeni lina bona ukuthi badle. Bathi-ke: Asilakho okwedlula izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, ngaphandle kokuthi thina siyebathengela ukudla bonke lababantu.
Asi wakati kwavari: Vapei imwi ivo kuti vadye. Vakati: Hatina zvinopfuura zvingwa zvishanu, nehove mbiri, kunze kwekuti isu taenda kunotengera vanhu ava vese kudya.
14 Ngoba kwakukhona amadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu. Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Bahlaliseni phansi ngezigaba ngamatshumi amahlanu.
Nokuti vaiva varume vanenge zvuru zvishanu. Akati kuvadzidzi vake: Vagarisei pasi mumapoka, rimwe nerimwe makumi mashanu.
15 Basebesenza njalo, babahlalisa phansi bonke.
Vakaita saizvozvo, vakavagarisa vese pasi.
16 Wasezithatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, wakhangela phezulu ezulwini, wazibusisa, wazihlephula, wazinika abafundi ukuthi babeke phambi kwexuku.
Zvino akatora zvingwa zvishanu nehove mbiri, akatarira kumusoro kudenga, akazviropafadza, akazvimedura, ndokupa vadzidzi kuti vagadzike pamberi pechaunga.
17 Basebesidla basutha bonke; kwadojwa imvuthu ezazisele kubo, izitsha ezilitshumi lambili.
Vakadya, vakaguta vese; kukanongwa zvimedu zvakasara kwavari, matengu gumi nemaviri.
18 Kwasekusithi ekhuleka yedwa, abafundi babelaye; wasebabuza, esithi: Amaxuku athi ngingubani?
Zvino zvakaitika ari ega achinyengetera, vadzidzi vakange vanaye; akavabvunza, achiti: Zvaunga zvinoti ndini ani?
19 Basebephendula bathi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi; kodwa abanye bathi: UElija; kodwa abanye bathi: Kuvukile umprofethi othile wabadala.
Ivo vakapindura vakati: Johwani Mubhabhatidzi; asi vamwe: Eria; nevamwe vakati: Umwe muporofita wevekare wamuka.
20 Wasesithi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani? UPetro wasephendula wathi: UKristu kaNkulunkulu.
Akati kwavari: Ko imwi munoti ndini ani? Petro akapindura akati: Kristu waMwari.
21 Esebaxwayisisile walaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu lokhu,
Akavayambirisa, akaraira kuti varege kuudza munhu izvi;
22 esithi: INdodana yomuntu imele ihlupheke kakhulu, ilahlwe ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, ibulawe, ibisivuswa ngosuku lwesithathu.
achiti: Mwanakomana wemunhu anofanira kutambudzika zvikuru, nekurambwa nevakuru nevapristi vakuru nevanyori, nekuurawa, nekumutswa zuva retatu.
23 Wasesithi kubo bonke: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe insuku ngensuku, angilandele.
Zvino wakati kune vese: Kana munhu achida kuuya shure kwangu, ngaazvirambe, atakure muchinjikwa wake zuva rimwe nerimwe, anditevere.
24 Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe, izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami, yena uzayisindisa.
Nokuti ani nani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake, acharasikirwa nahwo; asi ani nani anorasikirwa neupenyu hwake nekuda kwangu, iye achahuponesa.
25 Ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu, uba ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa yena uqobo lwakhe azone kumbe alahleke?
Nokuti munhu angabatsirwa nei, kana akawana nyika yese, asi iye pachake azvitadzire kana kurasikirwa?
26 Ngoba loba ngubani olenhloni ngami langamazwi ami, iNdodana yomuntu izakuba lenhloni ngaye, nxa isiza enkazimulweni yayo lekaBaba leyengilosi ezingcwele.
Nokuti ani nani anonyara pamusoro pangu nepamashoko angu, Mwanakomana wemunhu achanyara pamusoro pake paanouya mukubwinya kwake nekwaBaba nekwevatumwa vatsvene.
27 Kodwa ngilitshela ngeqiniso: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Asi ndinokuudzai zvechokwadi: Varipo vamwe vevamire pano vasingazoraviri rufu, kusvikira vaona ushe hwaMwari.
28 Kwasekusithi emva kwalawomazwi, kungaba zinsuku eziyisificaminwembili, wathatha uPetro loJohane loJakobe, wakhwela entabeni ukuyakhuleka.
Zvino zvakaitika mazuva anenge masere mushure memashoko awa, kuti wakatora Petro naJohwani naJakobho, akakwira mugomo kunonyengetera.
29 Kwasekusithi ekukhulekeni kwakhe, isimo sobuso bakhe saphenduka, lesembatho sakhe saba mhlophe, sacwazimula.
Zvino zvakaitika mukunyengetera kwake, chimiro chechiso chake chikashanduka, uye nguvo yake ikachena, ikapenya.
30 Njalo khangela, akhuluma laye amadoda amabili, ayengoMozisi loElija;
Zvino tarira, varume vaviri vakataura naye, vaiva Mozisi naEria.
31 abonakala ngenkazimulo akhuluma ngokusuka kwakhe ayezakuphelelisa eJerusalema.
Vakaonekwa mukubwinya, vakataura zvekubva kwake kwaakange achinopedzisa paJerusarema.
32 Kodwa uPetro lababelaye babesindwe yibuthongo; kodwa sebephapheme babona inkazimulo yakhe, lamadoda amabili ayemi laye.
Asi Petro nevaiva naye vakange varemerwa nehope; asi vakati vapepuka, vakaona kubwinya kwake, nevarume vaviri vaiva 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.
Zvino zvakaitika pakubva kwavo paari, Petro akati kuna Jesu: Tenzi, zvakanaka kuti tive pano; zvino ngatiite matende matatu, rimwe renyu, nerimwe raMozisi, nerimwe raEria, asingazivi zvaanoreva.
34 Kwathi ekhuluma lezizinto, kwafika iyezi labasibekela; basebesesaba ekungeneni kwabo eyezini.
Wakati achitaura izvi, kwakauya gore rikavadzikatira; vakatya pakupinda kwavo mugore.
35 Kwasekuphuma ilizwi eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; zwanini yona.
Zvino kwakabuda inzwi mugore, richiti: Uyu Mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa; inzwai iye.
36 Kwathi ilizwi selifikile, uJesu waficwa eyedwa. Kodwa bona bathula, kabaze batshela muntu ngalezonsuku okunye kwalezozinto abazibonileyo.
Zvino inzwi rakati raitika, Jesu akawanikwa ari ega. Asi ivo vakanyarara, vakasaudza munhu mumazuva iwayo chimwe chezvinhu zvavakange vaona.
37 Kwasekusithi ngelanga elilandelayo, sebehlile entabeni, ixuku elikhulu lamhlangabeza.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti nezuva raitevera, vaburuka mugomo, chaunga chikuru chikamuchingamidza.
38 Njalo khangela, indoda exukwini yamemeza, isithi: Mfundisi, ngiyakuncenga, bona indodana yami, ngoba yiyo yodwa ezelweyo yami;
Zvino tarira, murume muchaunga wakadanidzira, achiti: Mudzidzisi, ndinokukumbirisai, tarirai mwanakomana wangu nokuti ndiye wakaberekwa umwe wega wangu;
39 njalo khangela, umoya uyayibamba, futhi ihle iklabalale, njalo uyihlukuze, ikhihlize amagwebu, uphume nzima kuyo, uyihluzule.
zvino tarirai, mweya unomubata, pakarepo woridza mhere, uye unomugwinhisa achipupuma furo, unorema kubva paari, asi uchimusvuura.
40 Njalo ngincenge abafundi bakho ukuthi bawukhuphe, kodwa abenelisanga.
Zvino ndakakumbirisa vadzidzi venyu kuti vaubudise, asi vakasagona.
41 UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyo, kuzaze kube nini ngilani, ngilibekezelela? Ilethe lapha indodana yakho.
Jesu achipindura akati: Haiwa zera risina rutendo rakatsauka, ndichava nemwi kusvikira rinhi, ndichikuitirai moyo murefu? Uisa mwanakomana wako pano.
42 Kuthe iseza, idimoni layidabula layihlukuza; kodwa uJesu wawukhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wamsilisa umntwana, wambuyisela kuyise.
Zvino wakati achaswedera, dhimoni rikamudambura, rikamugwinhisa zvikuru; asi Jesu akatsiura mweya wetsvina, akaporesa mwana, akamudzosera kuna baba vake.
43 Bonke basebemangaliswa kakhulu yibukhulu bukaNkulunkulu. Kwathi bemangele bonke ngazo zonke izinto uJesu azenzileyo, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
Vese ndokushamiswa zvikuru neukuru hwaMwari. Zvino vese vachakashamisika nezvese Jesu zvaakaita, akati kuvadzidzi vake:
44 Fakani lina endlebeni zenu lamazwi: Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu.
Imwi isai mashoko awa munzeve dzenyu: Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu achakumikidzwa mumaoko evanhu.
45 Kodwa kabaqedisisanga lumutsho, njalo wawufihlakele kubo, ukuze bangawuzwisisi; basebesesaba ukumbuza ngalumutsho.
Asi havana kuziva chirevo ichi, uye chakange chakavanzika kwavari, kuti vasachinzwisisa; vakatya kumubvunza pamusoro pechirevo ichi.
46 Kwasekungena ukuphikisana phakathi kwabo, ukuthi ngubani ongaba mkhulu kubo.
Zvino kwakamuka nharo pakati pavo, kuti ndiani angava mukurusa kwavari.
47 Kwathi uJesu ebona ukunakana kwenhliziyo yabo, wathatha umntwana omncane, wammisa phansi kwakhe,
Asi Jesu wakati achiona kufunga kwemoyo wavo, akatora mucheche, akamuisa 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.
akati kwavari: Ani nani anogamuchira mucheche uyu muzita rangu, anogamuchira ini, uye ani nani anogamuchira ini anogamuchira wakandituma; nokuti mudikisa pakati penyu mese, ndiye achava mukuru.
49 UJohane wasephendula wathi: Nkosi, sabona omunye ekhupha amadimoni ngebizo lakho, sasesimenqabela, ngoba engalandeli kanye lathi.
Johwani akapindura akati: Tenzi, taona umwe achibudisa madhimoni muzita renyu, tikamudzivisa, nokuti haateverani nesu.
50 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Lingamenqabeli, ngoba ongamelani lathi ungakithi.
Asi Jesu akati kwaari: Musamudzivisa, nokuti uyo asingatipikisi, ndewedu.
51 Kwathi seziphelelisiwe insuku zokwenyuka kwakhe, yena wasekhangelisa ubuso bakhe ukuya eJerusalema,
Zvino zvakaitika pakupera kwemazuva ekukwidzwa kwake, kuti iye akarinzira chiso chake kuenda kuJerusarema,
52 wasethuma izithunywa phambi kobuso bakhe; zasezihamba zangena emzaneni wamaSamariya, ukuze zimlungisele.
akatuma vatumwa pamberi pechiso chake; vakaenda, vakapinda mumusha weVaSamaria, kunomugadzirira.
53 Kodwa kawamemukelanga, ngoba ubuso bakhe babukhangele eJerusalema.
Asi havana kumugamuchira, nokuti chiso chake chaienda kuJerusarema.
54 Kwathi abafundi bakhe uJakobe loJohane bebona lokhu bathi: Nkosi, uyathanda yini ukuthi sitsho ukuthi umlilo wehle uvela ezulwini, ubaqothule, njengoba loElija wenza?
Zvino vadzidzi vake, Jakobho naJohwani, vakati vachizviona vakati: Ishe, munoda kuti tiraire moto uburuke kubva kudenga, uvapedze, Eria sezvaakaitawo here?
55 Kodwa watshibilika wabakhuza, esithi: Alazi ukuthi lina lingabomoya onjani.
Asi wakatendeuka akavatsiura akati: Hamuzivi kuti imwi muri vemweya wakadii.
56 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukuthi ibhubhise imiphefumulo yabantu, kodwa ukuyisindisa. Basebesedlulela komunye umzana.
Nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu haana kuuya kuzoparadza upenyu hwevanhu asi kuhuponesa. Ndokuenda kune umwe musha.
57 Kwasekusithi behamba endleleni, umuntu othile wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngizakulandela loba ngaphi lapho oya khona.
Zvino zvakaitika vachifamba munzira, umwe wakati kwaari: Ishe, ndichakuteverai kupi zvako kwamunoenda.
58 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Amakhanka alemilindi, lenyoni zezulu zilezidleke; kodwa iNdodana yomuntu kayilalapho engaqamelisa ikhanda khona.
Jesu akati kwaari: Makava ane mwena, neshiri dzedenga matendere; asi Mwanakomana wemunhu haana paanotsamhidza musoro.
59 Wasesithi komunye: Ngilandela. Kodwa yena wathi: Nkosi, ngivumela ukuthi ngiyengcwaba ubaba kuqala.
Akati kune umwe: Nditevere. Asi iye akati: Ishe, nditenderei ndiende kunoviga baba vangu pakutanga.
60 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Yekela abafileyo bangcwabe ababo abafileyo; kodwa wena hamba utshumayele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Asi Jesu wakati kwaari: Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo; asi iwe enda unoparidza ushe hwaMwari.
61 Lomunye wasesithi: Ngizakulandela, Nkosi; kodwa ngivumela kuqala ukuthi ngiyevalelisa abasendlini yami.
Umwezve akati: Ndichakuteverai Ishe, asi nditenderei kutanga kuti ndinovawoneka ivo vari mumba mangu.
62 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Kakho othi esebeke isandla sakhe ekhubeni, akhangele kokusemuva, ofanele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Asi Jesu akati kwaari: Hakuna ungati kana aisa ruoko rwake pagejo, akacheukira kuzvinhu zviri shure, wakafanira ushe hwaMwari.
