Luke 16
1 Mme Jesu a bolelela barutwa ba gagwe polelo e: “Monna wa mohumi o kile a hira molebeledi go tlhokomela dilo tsa gagwe mme ka bonako ga utlwala fa molebeledi a sa ikanyege.
Wasekhuluma futhi kubafundi bakhe esithi: Kwakukhona umuntu othile onothileyo, owayelomphathi; lalo wayemangalelwe kuye njengochitha impahla yakhe.
2 Mme mong wa gagwe a mmitsa a mo raya a re, Ke eng se ke se utlwang ka go nkutswela ga gago? Baakanya pego ya gago, gonne o tshwanetse go tlogela tiro.
Wasembiza wathi kuye: Kuyini lokhu engikuzwayo ngawe? Landisa ngobuphathi bakho; ngoba ungebe usaba ngumphathi.
3 “Mme molebeledi a ithaya a re, ‘Ke tlaa dirang? Fano ke feditse mme ga ke na nonofo ya go tsamaya ke epa mesele, le gone go kopa go ntlhabisa ditlhong.
Umphathi wasesithi ngaphakathi kwakhe: Ngizakwenzani, lokhu inkosi yami isingemuka ubuphathi? Kangilamandla okugebha, ngilenhloni zokuphanza.
4 Ke itse selo se fela! Gore ke tlaa nna le ditsala tse dintsi go ntlhokomela fa ke tswa mo tirong.’
Ngiyakwazi engizakwenza, ukuze nxa sengikhutshiwe ebuphathini, bangemukele ezindlini zabo.
5 “Mme a laletsa mongwe le mongwe yo o neng a kolota mong wa gagwe go tla go buisana nae. A botsa wa ntlha a re, ‘O mo kolota bokae?’ Monna a fetola a re, ‘Molato wa me ke selekanyo sa dinkgwana di le makgolo a ferabobedi le masome a matlhano a lookwane.’ Molebeledi a mo raya a re, ‘Ee, tumalano e o e kwadileng ke e: e senye o kwale e e leng bontlha bongwe jwa yone.’
Wasebabizela kuye ngamunye abalemilandu enkosini yakhe, wathi kowokuqala: Ulomlandu ongakanani enkosini yami?
Wasesithi yena: Izilinganiso ezilikhulu zamagcobo. Wasesithi kuye: Thatha incwadi yakho, uhlale phansi ubhale masinya amatshumi amahlanu.
7 “Mme a botsa monna yo mongwe a re, ‘Wena o mo kolota bokae?’ A fetola a re, ‘Sekete sa dikgetse tsa mabele. Mme molebeledi a re tsaya lokwalo lwa gago o kwale o re, di makgolo a ferabobedi.’
Wasesithi komunye: Wena-ke ulomlandu ongakanani? Wasesithi: Izilinganiso ezilikhulu zamabele. Wasesithi kuye: Thatha incwadi yakho, ubhale amatshumi ayisificaminwembili.
8 “Monna wa mohumi a tshwanelwa ke go baka molebeledi yo o bolotsana ka go dira botlhale jo bo kalo. Mme ke boammaaruri gore banni ba lefatshe le, ba tlhalefile thata [mo go sa ikanyegeng]! go gaisa batho ba Modimo. (aiōn g165)
Inkosi yasimbabaza umphathi ongalunganga ngokuthi wenze ngokuhlakanipha; ngoba abantwana balesisikhathi bahlakaniphile esizukulwaneni sabo kulabantwana bokukhanya. (aiōn g165)
9 Mme a ke tshwanetse go lo raya ke re lo dire jalo, go reka botsalano ka go tsietsa? A mo go tlaa lo tlhomamisetsa go tsena ga lona mo legaeng la bosakhutleng kwa legodimong? (aiōnios g166)
Lami ngithi kini: Zenzeleni lina abangane ngoMamona ongalunganga, ukuze kuthi, nxa selehlulekile, balemukele ezindlini eziphakade. (aiōnios g166)
10 Nnyaa! Gonne fa lo sa ikanyege mo dilong tse di potlana, ga lo ka ke lwa ikanyega mo go tse di kgolo. Fa lo dira tsietso e potlana, ga lo ka ke lwa ikanyega mo dilong tse dikgolo.
Othembekileyo kokuncinyanyana uthembekile lakokukhulu, longathembekanga kokuncinyanyana kathembekanga lakokukhulu.
11 Mme fa lo sa ikanyege kaga mahumo a lefatshe, ke mang yo o tlaa lo ikanyang mo mahumong a boammaaruri a legodimo?
Ngakho uba lingathembekanga kuMamona ongalunganga, ngubani ozaliphathisa into eqotho?
12 Mme fa lo sa ikanyege ka madi a batho ba bangwe, lo ka ikanyega jang ka madi a e leng a lona.
Futhi uba lingathembekanga kokomunye, ngubani ozalinika okungokwenu?
13 “Gonne le fa e le wena kgotsa mongwe fela ga go ope yo o ka direlang barena ba babedi. O tlaa ila yo mongwe mme o rate yo mongwe, kgotsa go nne ka mokgwa mongwe o sele. O tla nna mafolofolo ka yo mongwe mme o nyatse yo mongwe. Ga o ka ke wa direla Modimo le madi!”
Kayikho inceku engakhonza amakhosi amabili; ngoba izazonda enye, ibisithanda enye; kumbe izabambelela kwenye, kodwa ibisidelela enye. Lingekhonze uNkulunkulu loMamona.
14 Mme Bafarasai, ba ba ratang madi thata, ba mo sotla ka ntlha ya mo gotlhe.
Njalo labaFarisi ababethanda imali bazizwa zonke lezizinto, basebemklolodela.
15 Mme a ba raya a re, “Lo apara tshiamo ya lona mo pepeneneng, mme Modimo o itse bosula jwa dipelo tsa lona. Go ipaya ga lona jaaka ekete lo siame go lo tlisetsa tlotlo mo bathong, mme ke makgapha fa pele ga Modimo.
Kodwa wathi kubo: Lina yini elizilungisisayo phambi kwabantu, kodwa uNkulunkulu uyazazi inhliziyo zenu; ngoba lokho okuphakanyiswayo phakathi kwabantu kuyisinengiso phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
16 Go tla go fitlha mo motlheng o Johane wa Mokolobetsi o neng a simolola go rera ka one, melao ya ga Moshe le ya Baporofiti e ne e le yone e e lo kaelang. Mme Johane a lo itsise kaga: Mafoko a a Molemo gore bogosi jwa Modimo bo tlaa tla ka bonako. Mme bontsintsi jwa ba ba eletsang ba itshukunyetsa mo go jone.
Umlayo labaprofethi kukhona kuze kube nguJohane; kusukela lapho ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu liyatshunyayelwa, njalo wonke uyafohlela kuwo.
17 Mme moo ga go reye gore molao o senyegetswe ke thata le fa e le ka ntlhanyana epe. O nonofile ebile ga o na botshikhinngo fela jaaka legodimo le lefatshe.
Kodwa kulula ukuthi kudlule izulu lomhlaba, kulokuthi kuwe ichatshana elilodwa lomlayo.
18 “Mme jalo fa mongwe a tlhala mosadi wa gagwe a nyala o sele o dira boaka, mme yo o nyalang mosadi yo o tlhadilweng le ene o dira boaka”.
Wonke owala umkakhe athathe omunye uyafeba; njalo wonke othatha owaliwe yindoda uyafeba.
19 Hong Jesu a re, “Gonne go ne go na le monna mongwe wa mohumi, yo o neng a apara sentle a nna mo letlepung mo monateng ka letsatsi le letsatsi.
Kwakukhona umuntu othile onothileyo, owayegqoka eziyibubende lamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu, ephila ngokuthokoza etamasa insuku zonke.
20 Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe Lasaro, wa mokopi, yo o neng a le dintho, a lala fa kgorong ya gagwe.
Kwakukhona futhi umyanga othile othiwa nguLazaro, owayebekiwe esangweni lakhe egcwele izilonda,
21 E ne e tle e re a rapame foo a laletse masalela a a wang mo lomating lwa bojelo jwa monna wa mohumi, dintsa di latswe dintho tsa gagwe.
wafisa ukusuthiswa ngemvuthuluka eziwayo etafuleni lesinothi; kanti lezinja zazisiza zikhothe izilonda zakhe.
22 Mme ya re kwa bofelong mokopi a swa mme a tsewa ke baengele go ya go nna le Aberahame mo felong ga baswi ba ba siameng. Mme monna wa mohumi le ene a swa a fitlhwa,
Kwasekusithi ongumyanga wafa, wathwalelwa zingilosi esifubeni sikaAbrahama; lesinothi laso safa, sangcwatshwa.
23 mme mowa wa gagwe wa ya moleting. E rile fa a le koo, mo tlhokofatsong a lebela Lasaro a le kgakala a na le Aberahame. (Hadēs g86)
Sisesihogweni saphakamisa amehlo aso, sisebuhlungwini, sabona uAbrahama ekhatshana, loLazaro esesifubeni sakhe. (Hadēs g86)
24 “Mme a goa a re Rre Aberahame, Nkutlwela botlhoko! romela Lasaro kwano fela gore a ine ntlha ya monwana wa gagwe mo metsing go ntsidifatsa loleme, gonne ke mo tlhokofatsong e e maswe mo dikgabung tse.
Sona sasesimemeza sisithi: Baba Abrahama, ngihawukela, uthume uLazaro, ukuze acwilise isihloko somunwe wakhe emanzini, apholise ulimi lwami; ngoba ngiyahlupheka kakhulu kulelilangabi.
25 “Mme Aberahame a mo raya a re, ‘Morwaaka, gakologelwa gore erile mo botshelong jwa gago o ne o na le sengwe le sengwe se o se batlang, mme Lasaro o ne a sena sepe. Jaanong o fano o a gomodiwa mme wena o mo tlhokofatsong.
Kodwa uAbrahama wathi: Ndodana, khumbula ukuthi wemukela okuhle kwakho empilweni yakho, loLazaro ngokunjalo okubi; kodwa khathesi uyaduduzwa, njalo wena uyahlupheka.
26 Gape kwa ntle ga moo, go na le phata e tona e e senang bolekeletso, e e re kgaoganyang, mme mongwe yo o batlang go tla kwa go wena a tswa fano o kganelwa ke losi lwa yone; le gone ga go ope yo o ka kgabaganyetsang ka kwano go rona’.
Langaphezu kwakho konke lokhu, kubekiwe phakathi kwethu lani igebe elikhulu, ukuze kuthi abafuna ukuchapha besuka ngapha beze ngakini bangekwenze, labangapho bangechaphele ngakithi.
27 “Mme monna wa mohumi a re, ‘Ao, Rre Aberahame, tswee-tswee mo romele kwa legaeng la ga rre,
Sasesisithi: Ngakho ngiyakuncenga, baba, ukuthi umthume endlini kababa,
28 gonne go na le bana ba ga rre ba le batlhano ba basimane, go ba tlhagisa kaga felo fano ga tlhokofatso e e botlhoko gore ba se ka ba tla fano fa ba a swa.’
ngoba ngilabafowethu abahlanu, ukuze abaxwayise, hlezi labo beze kulindawo yokuhlupheka.
29 “Mme Aberahame a re, ‘Dikwalo di ba tlhagisitse gangwe le gape. Bomorwarrago ba ka di bala ka nako nngwe le nngwe e ba e ratang’.
UAbrahama wathi: BaloMozisi labaprofethi; kabezwe bona.
30 “Mme monna wa mohumi a fetola a re, ‘Nnyaa Rre Aberahame ga ba kitla ba itshwenya ka go di bala. Mme fa mongwe a rometswe kwa go bone a tswa mo baswing ke gone ba ka sokologang mo dibeng tsa bone.’
Sona sasesisithi: Hatshi bo, baba Abrahama; kodwa uba omunye kwabafileyo esiya kubo, bazaphenduka.
31 “Hong Aberahame a mo fetola a re, ‘Fa ba sa reetsa Moshe le baporofiti ga ba kitla ba reetsa le fa mongwe a ka tsoga mo baswing.’”
Kodwa wathi kuso: Uba bengalaleli uMozisi labaprofethi, bangeke bavunyiswe lakho, loba kuvuka omunye kwabafileyo.
