UMakho 12
1 Waseqala ukukhuluma labo ngemifanekiso wathi: Umuntu wahlanyela isivini, wasibiyela ngothango, wagebha isikhamelo, wakha umphotshongo, wasiqhatshisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye ilizwe.
Yesu nam mmebu so kasa kyerɛɛ nnipa no se: “Okuafo bi yɛɛ bobeturo, gyee ban faa ho, na otuu amoa a wokyi bobe mu nsu wɔ mu, sii ɔwɛn aban wɔ mu. Afei ɔde afuw no gyaw akuafo bi tuu kwan.
2 Kwathi sekuyisikhathi esifaneleyo wathuma inceku kubalimi, ukuze yemukele kubalimi okwesithelo sesivini.
Eduu bere a bobe no bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtew no, ɔsomaa ne ho nipa bi se onkogye ne kyɛfa mmrɛ no.
3 Kodwa bayibamba bayitshaya, bayimukisa ize.
Nanso akuafo no boroo no, ma ɔde ne nsa pan san kɔe.
4 Wasebuya ethuma kubo enye inceku; laleyo bayitshaya ngamatshe bayilimaza ekhanda, bayixotsha isithelwe inhloni.
Okuafo no san somaa onipa foforo kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn, na ɔno nso, wɔboroo no, pirapiraa no sen nea odi kan no.
5 Wasebuya ethuma enye; yona basebeyibulala; lezinye ezinengi, ezinye bazitshaya, lezinye bazibulala.
Onipa a ɔsomaa no bio no de, wokum no. Afoforo a akyiri no wɔkɔe no nso, wɔhwee ebinom, na wokum ebinom nso.
6 Ngakho eseselendodana eyodwa ethandekayo kuye, ekucineni wayithuma kubo layo, esithi: Bazayihlonipha indodana yami.
“Nanso na aka ɔbaako a ɔyɛ ne ba a ɔdɔ no. Ɔsomaa ɔno nso kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn, susuw sɛ wɔbɛfɛre no de nidi ama no.
7 Kodwa labobalimi bakhulumisana besithi: Le yindlalifa; wozani, siyibulale, lelifa lizakuba ngelethu.
“Nanso bere a akuafo no huu no sɛ ɔreba no, wɔkae se, ‘Ɔdedifo no na ɔreba no. Momma yenkum no, na agyapade no ayɛ yɛn de!’
8 Basebeyibamba bayibulala, bayiphosela ngaphandle kwesivini.
Wɔkyeree no kum no, twee no fii bobe turo mu hɔ kɔtow no kyenee baabi.
9 Ngakho uzakwenzani umninisivini? Uzakuza ababhubhise abalimi, anikele isivini kwabanye.
“Mugye di sɛ, sɛ afuw wura no ba a dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ akuafo no? Ɔbɛba abekum wɔn, na ɔde afuw no ama nnipa foforo.
10 Kalibalanga yini lumbhalo othi: Ilitshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo eseliyinhloko yengonsi;
Monnkenkan eyi wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu pɛn se: “‘Ɔbo a adansifo apo no, ɛno ara na abɛyɛ dan no twea so tibo;
11 lokhu kwenziwe yiNkosi, njalo kuyisimanga emehlweni ethu?
Awurade na wayɛ eyi, na ɛyɛ nwonwa wɔ yɛn ani so?’”
12 Basebedinga ukumbamba, kodwa besaba ixuku; ngoba babesazi ukuthi wayekhulume lumfanekiso emelane labo. Basebemtshiya bahamba.
Na esiane saa bɛ a obui no nti, Yudafo mpanyin no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no, efisɛ wuhuu sɛ wɔn ho asɛm na ɔreka no a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wɔne saa akuafo atirimɔdenfo no. Nanso na wosuro dɔm no. Eyi ma wogyaa no, na wofii hɔ kɔe.
13 Basebethuma kuye abanye babaFarisi labakaHerodi, ukuze bamthiye ekukhulumeni.
Wɔsomaa Farisifo ne Herodefo bi baa Yesu nkyɛn sɛ wɔne no mmɛkasa, na wɔnam nʼanom asɛm so anya no akyere no.
14 Basebesiza bathi kuye: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena uqotho, njalo kawukhathali ngomuntu; ngoba kawunanzi isimo somuntu, kodwa ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso: Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthela kuKesari kumbe hatshi?
Wobisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yenim sɛ woyɛ ɔnokwafo a wotaa ka nokware. Nea onipa ka no ntumi nnan wʼadwene. Afei wokyerɛkyerɛ nnipa Onyankopɔn akwan. Yɛpɛ sɛ yebisa wo se, eye sɛ woyi tow ma Roma Hempɔn Kaesare anaa enye?”
15 Sithele, kumbe singatheli? Kodwa ekwazi ukuzenzisa kwabo wathi kubo: Lingilingelani? Lethani kimi udenariyo, ukuze ngibone.
Yesu huu wɔn adwemmɔne no kae se, “Adɛn nti na mosɔ me hwɛ, momfa sika a wɔde yi tow no bi nkyerɛ me, na mɛma mo mmuae.”
16 Basebeletha. Wasesithi kubo: Ngokabani lumfanekiso lalumbhalo? Basebesithi kuye: NgokaKesari.
Wɔde maa no ma obisaa wɔn se, “Hena mfoni ne nkyerɛw na ɛwɔ so?” Wobuae se, “Kaesare de.”
17 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Mnikeni uKesari okukaKesari, loNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu. Basebemangala ngaye.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛno de momfa Kaesare de mma no, na momfa Onyankopɔn de mma Onyankopɔn!” Ne mmuae no maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
18 Basebesiza kuye abaSadusi, abathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo; basebembuza, besithi:
Sadukifo a wɔka se owusɔre nni hɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se,
19 Mfundisi, uMozisi wasibhalela, ukuthi: Uba umfowabo womuntu esifa, atshiye umkakhe, engatshiyi bantwana, umfowabo kamthathe umkakhe, amvusele umfowabo inzalo;
“Kyerɛkyerɛfo, Mose yɛɛ mmara maa yɛn se, sɛ ɔbarima bi anwo na owu a, ne nuabarima mfa ne yere no kunabea na ɔne no nwo mma mma owufo no.
20 kwakulezelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wasethatha umfazi, wafa engatshiyanga inzalo;
Anuanom baason bi tenaa ase. Nea odi kan no waree yere a, ɔne no anwo na owui.
21 lowesibili wamthatha, wafa, laye engatshiyanga inzalo; lowesithathu kwaba njalo;
Nea ɔto so abien no nso waree okunafo no, na ɔno nso ankyɛ na owui a ɔne no anwo. Na nea ɔto so abiɛsa no nso waree no a, ɔne no anwo na owui.
22 lalaba boyisikhombisa bamthatha, kabatshiyanga inzalo. Ekucineni kwabo bonke kwafa lomfazi.
Eyi kɔɔ so kosii sɛ anuanom yi nyinaa waree ɔbea no, na ɔbea no nso wui.
23 Ngakho ekuvukeni kwabafileyo, mhla bevukayo, uzakuba ngumkabani kubo; lokhu abayisikhombisa babelaye engumkabo?
Nea yɛpɛ sɛ yehu ne sɛ, owusɔre mu, sɛ wonya sɔre a, wɔn mu hena na ɔbea no bɛyɛ ne yere?”
24 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Kaliduhanga yini ngalokhu, ngoba lingayazi imibhalo, loba amandla kaNkulunkulu?
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mo mfomso a moyɛ no fi nim a munnim Kyerɛwsɛm no, ne Onyankopɔn tumi a ɔwɔ.
25 Ngoba mhla bevukayo ekufeni, kabathathani, njalo kabendiswa, kodwa banjengengilosi ezisemazulwini.
Sɛ anuanom baason yi ne ɔbea no sɔre fi awufo mu a, wɔrenware; wɔbɛyɛ sɛ abɔfo a wɔwɔ ɔsoro no.
26 Kodwa mayelana labafileyo, ukuthi bayavuswa, kalifundanga yini egwalweni lukaMozisi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu esihlahleni wakhuluma njani kuye, esithi: NginguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe?
Afei nea ɛfa awufo nyan no ho nso, monkenkan Mose nhoma no mu asɛm a ɛfa Mose ne nwura a na ɛhyew no ho da? Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, ‘Mene Abraham Nyankopɔn, Isak Nyankopɔn ne Yakob Nyankopɔn.’
27 Kayisuye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa uNkulunkulu wabaphilayo; ngakho lina liduhile kakhulu.
Na Onyankopɔn reka akyerɛ Mose se, ɛwɔ mu sɛ saa nnipa yi awuwu mfe pii a atwam no de, nanso wɔte ase. Ɛnte saa a anka ɔrenka se ɔyɛ ateasefo Nyankopɔn, na ɔnyɛ awufo Nyankopɔn. Moayɛ mfomso kɛse.”
28 Wasefika omunye wababhali, esezwile bebuzana, esebonile ukuthi ubaphendule kuhle, wambuza wathi: Yiwuphi umlayo wokuqala kuyo yonke?
Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no mu baako a ogyina hɔ retie no huu sɛ, wabua wɔn sɛnea ɛfata no, obisaa no se, “Mose mmaransɛm no mu nea ɛwɔ he na ɛkyɛn ne nyinaa?”
29 UJesu wasemphendula wathi: Owokuqala kuyo yonke imilayo ngowokuthi: Zwana, Israyeli: INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, iNkosi yinye;
Yesu buaa no se, “Nea ɛkyɛn ne nyinaa ne nea ɛka se, ‘Israel, tie! Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro;
30 njalo wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, langomphefumulo wakho wonke, langengqondo yakho yonke, langamandla akho wonke. Yilo umlayo owokuqala.
na dɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn fi wo koma ne wo kra ne wʼadwene ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu,’ no.
31 Lowesibili uyafanana, yilo: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. Kawukho omunye umlayo omkhulu kulale.
Na nea ɛto so abien no ne: ‘Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.’ Mmaransɛm bi nni hɔ a ɛkyɛn eyinom.”
32 Umbhali wasesithi kuye: Kuhle, Mfundisi, utsho okuqotho ukuthi kuloNkulunkulu oyedwa, langaphandle kwakhe kakho omunye;
Kyerɛwsɛm no kyerɛkyerɛfo no buaa no se, “Owura, woaka nokware sɛ, Onyankopɔn baako pɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ, na obi foforo nka ne ho,
33 lokumthanda ngenhliziyo yonke, langokuqedisisa konke, langomphefumulo wonke, langamandla wonke, lokuthanda umakhelwane njengawe, kuyedlula yonke iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo.
na minim nso sɛ, sɛ mɛdɔ no afi me koma ne mʼadwene ne mʼahoɔden nyinaa mu, na mɛdɔ me yɔnko sɛ me ho no, sen afɔre biara a wɔbɔ.”
34 UJesu esembona ukuthi uphendule ngenhlakanipho, wathi kuye: Kawukhatshana lombuso kaNkulunkulu. Njalo kakwabe kusaba khona umuntu olesibindi sokumbuza.
Yesu huu sɛ wabua asɛm no nyansa mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ne Onyankopɔn ahenni ntam kwan nware.” Na saa asɛm yi akyi no, obi antumi ammisa no asɛm biara bio.
35 UJesu, efundisa ethempelini, wasephendula wathi: Batsho njani ababhali ukuthi uKristu uyindodana kaDavida?
Bere bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, obisaa nnipa no se, “Adɛn na Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no ka se, ɛsɛ sɛ Agyenkwa no yɛ Ɔhene Dawid ba?
36 Ngoba uDavida uqobo lwakhe ngoMoya oyiNgcwele wathi: INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngibeke izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho.
Efisɛ Dawid ankasa nam Honhom Kronkron mu kae se, “‘Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura se: “Tena me nifa so kosi sɛ mede wʼatamfo bɛyɛ wo nan ntiaso.”’
37 Ngakho uDavida uqobo lwakhe umbiza ngokuthi yiNkosi; pho uyindodana yakhe njani? Lexuku elikhulu lamuzwa ngokuthokoza.
Sɛ Dawid frɛ no ‘Awurade’ a, ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Kristo no yɛ ne ba?” Ɔkwan a ɔfaa so kasaa no maa nnipa no de anigye tiee no.
38 Wasesithi kubo ekufundiseni kwakhe: Qaphelani ababhali, abathanda ukuhamba bembethe izembatho ezinde, lokubingelelwa emidangeni,
Bere bi a nnipakuw bi de anigye retie Yesu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ mo ho yiye wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo ho! Wɔhyɛ ntade akɛse sɛ asikafo na sɛ wɔnam bagua mu a, wɔpɛ sɛ obiara a ohyia wɔn no de obu kyia wɔn.
39 lezihlalo eziqakathekileyo emasinagogeni, lezihlalo zabahloniphekayo ekudleni kwantambama;
Sɛ wɔkɔ hyiadan mu a wɔtenatena mpanyin agua so, na sɛ wɔkɔ adidi ase a, wɔtena mpanyin tenabea.
40 abadla izindlu zabafelokazi, bekhuleka isikhathi eside ngokuzenzisa; laba bazakwemukela ukulahlwa okukhulu.
Wɔbɔ mpae atenten ma nnipa hu sɛ wɔresom Onyankopɔn, nanso wosisi akunafo. Eyi nti wobenya asotwe a emu yɛ duru.”
41 UJesu wasehlala phansi maqondana lesitsha somnikelo wabona ukuthi ixuku liphosela njani imali esitsheni somnikelo; labanothileyo abanengi baphosela okunengi.
Da bi a Yesu kɔɔ asɔredan mu no, ɔkɔtenaa afɔrebɔ adaka a esi hɔ no anim hwɛɛ sɛnea nkurɔfo no de sika regu adaka no mu. Asikafo no de sika a ɛdɔɔso guu mu.
42 Kwasekufika umfelokazi othile ongumyanga waphosela inhlamvana ezimbili ezincane zemali, eziyindibilitshi.
Ɔbea kunafo hiani bi nso bae, na ɔde sika nketewa abien beguu mu.
43 Wasebizela kuye abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lumfelokazi ongumyanga uphosele okwedlula bonke laba abaphoseleyo esitsheni somnikelo;
Ɔfrɛɛ nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Saa ɔbea kunafo hiani yi afɔre a ɔbɔe no dɔɔso sen asikafo no nyinaa afɔrebɔde.
44 ngoba bonke baphosele kokunengi kwabo; kodwa yena ebuyangeni bakhe uphosele konke alakho, konke okwempilo yakhe.
Na wɔn nyinaa fi nea wɔanya ama abu wɔn so no mu na woyiyii bi de bae, na ɔbea yi de, ofi ne hia mu de nea ɔwɔ nyinaa na abegu mu no.”
