Luke 17
1 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “ʻE ʻikai mafai ke taʻofi ʻae hoko ʻoe ngaahi fakahala: ka ʻe malaʻia ia ʻoku hoko mei ai ia!”
UJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Izinto ezenza abantu benze isono zizakuba khona kodwa maye kulowomuntu ezizafika ngaye.
2 ʻOku lelei kiate ia ʻoka ne taupungaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maka momosi ʻi hono kia, pea lī ki he moana, ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi.
Bekungaba ngcono kuye ukuphoselwa olwandle kubotshelwe imbokodo entanyeni yakhe kulokuba yena akhubekise omunye walaba abancinyane ukuthi enze isono.
3 Mou vakai kiate kimoutolu: “Kapau ʻe fai angahala kiate koe ʻe ho kāinga, valoki ia; pea kapau ʻe fakatomala, fakamolemole ia.
Ngakho lina ziqapheleni. Nxa umfowenu esenza isono, mkhuze, kuthi nxa ezisola, mthethelele.
4 Pea kapau ʻe fai angahala ʻe ia kiate koe ʻo liunga fitu ʻi ha ʻaho, kae tafoki ia kiate koe ʻo liunga fitu ʻi ha ʻaho, mo pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻOku ou fakatomala;’ ke ke fakamolemole ia.”
Nxa engakonela kasikhombisa ngosuku lunye, ebuye kuwe kasikhombisa esithi, ‘Ngiyaxolisa,’ mthethelele.”
5 Pea pehē ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo ki he ʻEiki, “Fakalahi ʻemau tui.”
Abapostoli bathi eNkosini, “Yengeza ukholo lwethu!”
6 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Ka ne mou maʻu ʻae tui ke tatau mo e foʻi tengaʻi musita, te mou lea ki he ʻakau ko e sukamino ni, ‘Ke mataʻaki fuʻu hake koe, pea tō koe ʻi he tahi;’ pea ʻe talangofua ia kiate kimoutolu.
Waphendula wathi, “Nxa lilokukholwa loba kukuncinyane njengentanga yemastadi, lingathi kulesisihlahla somabhulosi, ‘Quphuka lapha uyowela olwandle,’ sizalilalela.
7 Ka ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ai ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku keli pe tauhimanu, ʻe pehē leva ki ai, ʻoka haʻu ia mei he ngoue, ‘Haʻu koe ʻo nofo hifo ke kai?’
Kesithi omunye wenu ulesisebenzi, silima loba siselusa izimvu. Kambe kungenzeka yini ukuthi nxa isisebenzi singena sivela emasimini athi kuso, ‘Kulungile, hlala phansi udle’?
8 Kae ʻikai pehē muʻa ki ai, ‘Teuteu haku ʻohomohe, pea ke nonoʻo koe, ʻo tauhi au, kaeʻoua ke u kai mo inu; pea hili ia te ke toki kai koe mo inu?’
Kambe kayikuqala athi, ‘Lungisa ukudla kwami, ulungele ukungiphakela ngize ngidle, nginathe; ngemva kwalokho lawe usungadla, unathe’?
9 ʻOku fakafetaʻi ʻe ia ki he tamaioʻeiki ko ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fekau kiate ia? ʻOku ou pehē ʻoku ʻikai.
Angasibonga na isisebenzi ngoba senze lokho ebesikuyaliwe na?
10 Pea ke pehē foki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka ʻosi hono fai ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē kuo fekau kiate kimoutolu, mou pehē, ‘Ko e kau tamaioʻeiki taʻeʻaonga ʻakimautolu: kuo mau fai ʻaia naʻe totonu pe ke mau fai.’”
Kunjalo lani nxa selenzile konke okuthiwe likwenze kufanele lithi, ‘Siyizinceku ezingafanelanga; sesenze kuphela lokho okungumlandu wethu.’”
11 Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki Selūsalema, naʻe fononga atu ia ʻi Samēlia mo Kāleli.
Ngalesosikhathi eseqonde ukuya eJerusalema, uJesu wahamba ngendlela esemngceleni phakathi kweSamariya leGalile.
12 Pea ʻi heʻene hū ki he potu kakai ʻe taha, naʻe fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻae kau tangata kilia ʻe toko hongofulu, pea nau tutuʻu mamaʻo atu:
Wathi efika komunye umuzi, wahlangabezwa ngamadoda alitshumi ayelobulephero. Ema bucwala,
13 Pea naʻa nau kalanga leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “Sisu, ʻEiki, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimautolu.”
amemeza ngelizwi elikhulu athi, “Jesu, Nkosi, sihawukele!”
14 Pea ʻi heʻene mamata, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ō, ʻo fakahā ʻakimoutolu ki he kau taulaʻeiki.” Pea pehē, ʻi heʻenau ʻalu naʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.
Wathi ewabona wathi kuwo, “Hambani liyoziveza kubaphristi.” Athi esahamba ahlambuluka.
15 Pea naʻe foki mai honau tokotaha, ʻi heʻene mamata kuo fakamoʻui ia, ʻo ne fakamālō ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ki he ʻOtua,
Omunye wawo wathi ngokubona ukuthi usesilile waphenduka, edumisa uNkulunkulu ngelizwi elikhulu.
16 ʻO fakafoʻohifo ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻi he fakafetaʻi kiate ia: ka ko e Samēlia ia.
Wazilahla phansi ezinyaweni zikaJesu wambonga, yena wayengumSamariya.
17 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “ʻIkai naʻe fakamaʻa ʻae toko hongofulu? Ka kofaʻā ʻae toko hiva?
UJesu wabuza wathi, “Kanti kabahlanjululwanga bonke abalitshumi yini? Bangaphi abanye abayisificamunwemunye na?
18 ʻOku ʻikai ʻiloa ke foki mai ha taha ke fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ka ko e muli ni pe.”
Ubengekho yini obengabuya azoletha udumo kuNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwalo owezizweni na?”
19 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.”
Wasesithi kuye, “Phakama uhambe; ukukholwa kwakho kukusilisile.”
20 Pea ʻi he ʻeke ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, pe ʻe hoko ʻafē ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe leaange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai hoko ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua mo e fakaongongoa[ki ai]:
Ngesinye isikhathi uJesu ebuzwe ngabaFarisi ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu wawuzafika nini, waphendula wathi, “Umbuso kaNkulunkulu kawuzi ngendlela yokucubungula kwenu ukuma kwezinto,
21 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau pehē, ‘Vakai heni!’ pe, ‘Vakai hena!’ He ko eni, ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
njalo abantu kabayikutsho bathi, ‘Nanku lapha,’ loba bathi, ‘Nanko laphaya,’ ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu uphakathi kwenu.”
22 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “ʻE hoko mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, te mou holi ai ke mamata ki ha ʻaho ʻe taha ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata, ka ʻe ʻikai te mou mamata ki ai.
Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe, “Siyeza isikhathi lapho elizaloyisa khona ukubona olunye lwezinsuku zeNdodana yoMuntu kodwa kalisoze lilubone.
23 Pea ka nau ka pehē kiate kimoutolu, ‘Vakai heni;’ pe, ‘Vakai hena:’ ʻoua naʻa ʻalu atu, pe muimui ki ai.
Abantu bazalitshela bathi, ‘Nanguyana laphaya!’ kumbe, ‘Nangu lapha!’ Lingathatheki ngabo.
24 He ʻoku hangē ko e ʻasi mai ʻae ʻuhila mei he potu langi ʻe taha, pea ulo ʻo aʻu ki he potu langi ʻe taha, ʻe pehē foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi hono ʻaho.
Ngoba ngosuku lwayo iNdodana yoMuntu izakuba njengombane ophazima ukhanyise umkhathi kusukela ngapha kusiyafika ngale.
25 Ka ʻe tomuʻa kātaki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea ʻe liʻaki ia ʻe he toʻutangata ni.
Kodwa kumele iqale ihlupheke ezintweni ezinengi njalo ilahlwe yilesisizukulwane.
26 Pea hangē ko e fai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Noa, ʻe pehē foki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata.
Njengoba kwakunjalo ensukwini zikaNowa, kuzakuba njalo ensukwini zeNdodana yoMuntu.
27 Naʻa nau kai, mo inu, naʻa nau mali uaifi, pea foaki ke mali, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻe hū ai ʻa Noa ki he vaka, pea ʻoho mai ʻae vai, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
Abantu babesidla, benatha, bethathana njalo besendiselana kwaze kwafika usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini. Kwasekufika uzamcolo wababhubhisa bonke.
28 Pea hangē foki ko e fai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Lote, naʻa nau kai, mo inu, naʻa nau fefakatauʻaki, naʻa nau tō ngoue, pea nau langa fale;
Kwakunjalo futhi ngezinsuku zikaLothi. Abantu babesidla, benatha, njalo bethenga, bethengisa, behlanyela njalo besakha.
29 Ka ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Lote ʻi Sotoma, naʻe ʻuha afi mo e maka vela mei he langi, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
Kodwa ngosuku uLothi aphuma ngalo eSodoma, umlilo lesalufa kwathululeka kuvela ezulwini kwababhubhisa bonke.
30 ʻE pehē pe foki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fakahā ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
Kuzakuba njalo langosuku lapho iNdodana yoMuntu ifika.
31 “Pea ko ia ia ʻe ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ka ʻoku ʻi loto fale ʻene meʻa, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hifo ia ko hono ʻave: pea ko ia ʻe ʻi he ngoue, ke ʻoua foki naʻa liu mai.
Ngalolosuku kakho ozakuthi ephezulu ophahleni lwendlu yakhe, impahla zakhe ziphakathi, ehle ukuyazithatha. Njalo kakho osensimini ozakuyathatha loba yini.
32 Manatuʻi ʻae uaifi ʻo Lote.
Khumbulani umkaLothi!
33 Ko ia ia ʻe kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia ʻiate ia; ka ko ia ia ʻe tuku[ʻene moʻui ]ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.
Lowo ozama ukulondoloza impilo yakhe izamlahlekela, lalowo olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe uzayilondoloza.
34 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻI he pō ko ia ʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua ʻi he mohenga pe taha; ʻe ʻave ʻae tokotaha, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.
Ngiyalitshela, kuzakuthi ngalobobusuku abantu bebabili embhedeni omunye uzathathwa, kodwa omunye atshiywe.
35 ʻE fakataha ʻae fefine ʻe toko ua ʻo momosi; ʻe ʻave ʻae tokotaha, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.
Abesifazane ababili bazabe bechola elitsheni ndawonye; omunye uzathathwa omunye atshiywe. [
36 ʻE ai ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua ʻi he ngoue ko e tokotaha ʻe ʻave, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.”
Ababili bazabe besensimini; oyedwa uzathathwa omunye atshiywe.]”
37 Pea naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kofaʻā ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻIlonga ʻae potu ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻangaʻanga, ʻe kātoa ki ai ʻae fanga ʻikale.”
Babuza bathi, “Ngaphi, Nkosi?” Waphendula wathi, “Lapho okulesidumbu khona, kulapho okuqoqana khona amanqe.”
