Kulandzisa KwaLukha
8 Ngekushesha nje ngemuva kwaloko, Jesu wahamba emadolobha nemadolobhana ashumayela futsi amemetela tindzaba letimnandzi teMbuso waNkulunkulu.+ Bekahamba nebaphostoli labangu-12, 2 kanye nebafati labatsite lebekabakhiphe emadimoni futsi wabelapha tifo. Labafati bekunguMariya waseMagdala, loyo lebekamkhiphe emadimoni langu-7; 3 naJwana+ umfati waKhuza, lobekayindvuna yaHerodi; naSusana kanye nalabanye bafati labanyenti lebebasebentisa tintfo tabo kuze basite Jesu nebaphostoli bakhe.+
4 Kwatsi lapho sicumbi lesikhulu sesibutsene kanye nalabo lebebasuka emadolobheni lehlukahlukene, wakhuluma asebentisa umfanekiso,+ watsi: 5 “Umuntfu lotsite waphuma wayohlanyela inhlanyelo yakhe. Njengobe ahlanyela, lenye yawela eceleni kwendlela, yanyatselwa bantfu, netinyoni tayidla.+ 6 Lenye yawela emadvwaleni, futsi ngemuva kwekumila yabuna ngobe bekute umswakama.+ 7 Lenye yawela emanyeveni, lamanyeva lebekakhula nayo ayiminyetela.+ 8 Lenye yawela emhlabatsini lomuhle, futsi yamila, yase itsela titselo letiphindvwe tikhatsi letingu-100.”+ Ngemuva kwekusho loku, wamemeta watsi: “Lonendlebe levako akeve.”+
9 Bafundzi bakhe bambuta kutsi usho kutsini lomfanekiso.+ 10 Watsi kubo: “Nkulunkulu unisitile kutsi nine nicondze timfihlo letingcwele teMbuso wakhe, kepha labantfu ngikhuluma nabo ngemifanekiso+ ngobe bayabuka kodvwa ababoni, futsi nobe beva abacondzi.+ 11 Ngako-ke naku lokushiwo ngulomfanekiso: Inhlanyelo livi laNkulunkulu.+ 12 Leyo leyawela eceleni kwendlela ngulabo labevako, bese Develi uyefika alihlwitse livi etinhlitiyweni tabo kuze bangakholwa futsi bangasindziswa.+ 13 Leyo leyawela emadvwaleni ngulabo labatsi bangeva livi balemukele ngenjabulo, kodvwa basuke bete timphandze letijulile. Ngako bayakholwa sikhashana bese kutsi nakufika tilingo bawe ekukholweni.+ 14 Leyo leyawela emanyeveni, ngulabo labalivako livi, kodvwa baminyetelwe tinkinga, umcebo+ kanye nenjabulo yalelive+ bese abasatseli.+ 15 Kodvwa leyo leyawela emhlabatsini lomuhle, ngulabo labatsi bangeva livi ngenhlitiyo lenhle,+ baligcine bese batsela titselo ngekucinisela.+
16 “Kute umuntfu lokhanyisa sibane bese usibeka ngephansi kwesitja nobe ngephansi kwembhedze, kodvwa usibeka elutsini lwesibane kuze sikhanyisele labo labangenako.+ 17 Ngobe kute lokufihliwe lokungeke kwembulwe; futsi kute lokutfukuswe ngekucophelela lokungeke kwatiwe kuphindze kuphumele ebaleni.+ 18 Ngako nakani indlela lenilalela ngayo, ngobe nobe ngubani lonalokunyenti utawengetelwa,+ kodvwa nobe ngubani lote lutfo, ngisho naloko lacabanga kutsi unako kutawutsatfwa kuye.”+
19 Kweta make wakhe nabomnakabo,+ kodvwa behluleka kufika kuye ngenca yesicumbi sebantfu.+ 20 Bantfu base bayambikela batsi: “Make wakho nabomnakenu beme ngephandle bafuna kukubona.” 21 Wabaphendvula watsi: “Make wami nabomnaketfu ngulabo labeva livi laNkulunkulu futsi baligcine.”+
22 Ngalelinye lilanga, yena nebafundzi bakhe bagibela sikebhe, wase utsi kubo: “Asiweleleni ngale ngesheya kwelwandle.” Ngako base bayahamba.+ 23 Kodvwa batsi basahamba wafikelwa butfongo. Kwabese kusuka sivunguvungu lesikhulu elwandle, sikebhe sacala kugcwala emanti, futsi besebasengotini.+ 24 Ngako baya kuye bafike bamvusa, batsi: “Mfundzisi, Mfundzisi, siyafa!” Wavuka wawekhuta lomoya kanye nemagagasi, futsi ehla kwase kuba nekuthula.+ 25 Wabese utsi kubo: “Kantsi anikholwa yini?” Kodvwa bona besaba kakhulu futsi bamangala, babutana batsi: “Kantsi ngubani lona, ngobe wekhuta ngisho nemoya nelwandle, kumlalele?”+
26 Bewela befika endzaweni yemaGerasa,+ lebeyingesheya kweGalile. 27 Ngesikhatsi Jesu ehla esikebheni, indvodza letsite yakulelo dolobha lebeyinemadimoni yeta kuye. Besekusikhatsi lesidze ingagcoki lutfo, futsi beyingahlali ekhaya kodvwa ihlala emathuneni.+ 28 Yatsi nayimbona yamemeta yase iguca embikwakhe, futsi ngelivi lelikhulu yatsi: “Ufunani lapha Jesu, Ndvodzana yaNkulunkulu Losetikwako Konkhe? Ngiyakuncenga kutsi ungangihluphi.”+ 29 (Ngobe Jesu bekasolo atjela lelidimoni kutsi liphume kulendvodza. Beseliyihlasele tikhatsi letinyenti,*+ futsi beyivame kuboshwa ngetinketane nangetintsambo iphindze igadvwe, kodvwa beyitidzabula bese lelidimoni liyiyisa endzaweni lete muntfu.) 30 Jesu wabuta lendvodza watsi: “Ungubani libito lakho?” Yamphendvula yatsi: “NginguSibanyenti,” ngobe beyingenwe ngemadimoni lamanyenti. 31 Ngako lamadimoni bekasolo ancenga Jesu kutsi angawayisi emgodzini longenamkhawulo.+ 32 Bekunemhlambi lomkhulu wetingulube+ lobewudla entsabeni, ngako amncenga kutsi awavumele angene kuwo, futsi wawavumela.+ 33 Lamadimoni abese ayaphuma kulendvodza ayongena kuletingulube, futsi lomhlambi wagijima wacondza eweni, wefika wagcumukela elwandle, wamita. 34 Belusi balomhlambi batsi nababona loko lobekwentekile, babaleka bayobikela bantfu labasedolobheni nalabasemaphandleni.
35 Bantfu babese bayesuka bayobona loko lobekwentekile. Befika kuJesu, batfola lendvodza lebeyikhishwe emadimoni igcokile, seyiphilile nasengcondvweni, futsi ihleti naJesu, ngako besaba kakhulu. 36 Labo lebebatibonele ngewabo babatjela kutsi lendvodza iphiliswe kanjani. 37 Bantfu labanyenti lebebavela endzaweni yemaGerasa bamcela kutsi ahambe ngobe bebesaba kakhulu. Ngako wagibela sikebhe walungela kuhamba. 38 Nanobe kunjalo, lendvodza lebeyikhishwe emadimoni beyisolo imncenga ifuna kuhamba naye, kodvwa wayalela, watsi:+ 39 “Buyela ekhaya, ubikele bonkhe bantfu ngaloko Nkulunkulu lakwentele kona.” Ngako yahamba yamemetela kulo lonkhe lidolobha ngaloko Jesu lebekayentele kona.
40 Ngesikhatsi Jesu abuyela eGalile, sicumbi sebantfu samemukela ngenjabulo ngobe besimlindzele.+ 41 Kodvwa kweta indvodza lokutsiwa nguJayiru lebeyengamele lisinagoge. Yefika yaguca embikwaJesu yamncenga kutsi aye endlini yayo,+ 42 ngobe indvodzakati yayo lekuphela kwayo futsi lebeyineminyaka lengu-12 budzala beyigulela kufa.
Watsi Jesu nasekahamba, sicumbi sebantfu samminyetela. 43 Bekunemfati lobesekwendlule iminyaka lengu-12 anesifo sekopha,+ futsi kute umuntfu lobekakhona kumelapha.+ 44 Lomfati weta ngemuva kwaJesu watsintsa umphetfo wengubo yakhe yangetulu,+ futsi ngekushesha lokopha kwaphela. 45 Kepha Jesu watsi: “Ngubani lolongitsintsile?” Ngesikhatsi bonkhe labanye baphika, Phetro watsi: “Mfundzisi, uyabona mosi kutsi lesicumbi sebantfu sikugegeletele futsi siyakuminyetela.”+ 46 Kodvwa Jesu watsi: “Kukhona longitsintsile, ngobe ngivile kutsi kuphume emandla+ kimi.” 47 Lomfati watsi nakabona kutsi bekangeke asakhona kutifihla, weta etfukile wafike waguca embikwakhe, wachaza embikwabo bonkhe bantfu kutsi umtsintseleni nekutsi uphiliswe kanjani ngekushesha. 48 Kodvwa Jesu watsi kuye: “Ndvodzakati, kukholwa kwakho kukuphilisile; hamba ngekuthula.”+
49 Watsi asakhuluma, kweta sitfunywa salendvodza lebeyengamele lisinagoge safike satsi: “Indvodzakati yakho seyifile, ungabe usamhlupha uMfundzisi.”+ 50 Nakeva loko, Jesu watsi: “Ungesabi, kodvwa bani nekukholwa, lomntfwana utawuphila.”+ 51 Nakefika kulendlu, akazange avumele muntfu kutsi angene ngaphandle kwaPhetro, Johane, Jakobe kanye nebatali balentfombatana. 52 Bonkhe bantfu bebakhala futsi badzindza sililo ngenca yekufa kwayo. Kodvwa Jesu watsi: “Ningakhali,+ ngobe akakafi kodvwa ulele.”+ 53 Nabeva loku bamhleka bulima, ngobe bebati kutsi ufile. 54 Wabamba lomntfwana ngesandla watsi kuye: “Mntfwana, vuka!”+ 55 Lomntfwana waphila,*+ futsi wavuka ngekushesha,+ Jesu wase utsi abamuphe kudla. 56 Batali balomntfwana bebajabule kakhulu, kodvwa Jesu wabayala watsi bangatjeli muntfu ngaloko lobekwentekile.+
