Kulandzisa KwaLukha
4 Jesu wesuka eJordane agcwele umoya longcwele, futsi lomoya wamhola wamyisa ehlane,+ 2 wahlala khona emalanga langu-40. Bekangadli lutfo, ngako atsi nakaphela lamalanga besekalambe kakhulu futsi Develi weta kutomlinga.+ 3 Watsi kuye: “Nangabe uyindvodzana yaNkulunkulu, tjela lelitje lishintje libe sinkhwa.” 4 Kodvwa Jesu wamphendvula watsi: “Kubhaliwe kutsi: ‘Umuntfu ngeke aphile ngesinkhwa sodvwa.’”+
5 Ngako wakhuphuka naye wamkhombisa yonkhe imibuso yemhlaba ngesikhashana nje.+ 6 Develi wase utsi kuye: “Ngitakunika lonkhe ligunya kulemibuso kanye nebuhle bayo, ngobe inikwe mine+ futsi ngiyinika nobe ngubani lengifuna kumnika yona. 7 Ngako nawungaguca kanye nje ungikhonte, konkhe loku kutawuba kwakho.” 8 Jesu wamphendvula watsi: “Kubhaliwe kutsi: ‘Kufanele ukhotsamele Jehova* Nkulunkulu wakho, futsi nguye yedvwa lokufanele umkhonte.’”+
9 Ngemuva kwaloko, Develi wamyisa eJerusalema, wammisa esicongweni* selithempeli, watsi kuye: “Nangabe uyindvodzana yaNkulunkulu, tijike phansi,+ 10 ngobe kubhaliwe kutsi: ‘Utawutfuma tingilosi takhe kutsi tikuvikele,’ 11 nekutsi: ‘Titakwetfwala ngetandla tato kuze lunyawo lwakho lungakhutjwa litje.’”+ 12 Jesu watsi kuye: “Kutsiwa: ‘Ungabomlinga Jehova* Nkulunkulu wakho.’”+ 13 Watsi Develi nakacedza kumlinga, wamshiya, walindza lelinye litfuba lelikahle.+
14 Jesu wase ubuyela eGalile+ agcwele umoya longcwele, futsi imibiko lemihle ngaye yagcwala kuyo yonkhe indzawo. 15 Wacala kufundzisa emasinagogeni, futsi bonkhe bantfu bebamdvumisa.
16 Wabese uya eNazaretha,+ lapho akhulela khona, futsi wangena esinagogeni njengobe bekahlale enta ngeliSabatha.+ Ngesikhatsi asukuma kuze afundze imiBhalo, 17 bamniketa umculu wemphrofethi Isaya, wase uyawuvula futsi wafundza lapho kubhalwe khona kwatsiwa: 18 “Umoya waJehova* ukimi, ngobe ungigcobile kuze ngimemetele tindzaba letimnandzi kulabaphuyile. Ungitfumile kutsi ngimemetele ngekukhululwa kwalabatfunjiwe, nangekuvulwa kwemehlo alabangaboni, kuze ngikhulule labacindzetelekile,+ 19 futsi ngishumayele ngemnyaka Jehova* latawukhombisa umusa wakhe ngawo.”+ 20 Wase uyawugocota lomculu, wawuniketa inceku, wahlala phansi, futsi emehlo abo bonkhe lebebasesinagogeni bekatse njo kuye. 21 Ngako watsi kubo: “Lamuhla, lombhalo lenisandza kuwuva uyagcwaliseka.”+
22 Bonkhe bacala kukhuluma kahle ngaye futsi bamangaliswa ngemavi lamnandzi lebekaphuma emlonyeni wakhe,+ batsi: “Lena akusiyo yini indvodzana yaJosefa?”+ 23 Ngako watsi kubo: “Ngiyati kutsi lamavi nitawasho kimi: ‘Dokotela telaphe. Letintfo leseva kutsi watenta eKhaphanawume,+ tente nalapha endzaweni yakini.’” 24 Wase utsi kubo: “Ngicinisile ngitsi kini kute umphrofethi lowemukelwako endzaweni yakubo.+ 25 Nginitjela liciniso ngitsi: Emalangeni a-Elija, bebabanyenti bafelokati ka-Israyeli ngesikhatsi litulu lingani iminyaka lemitsatfu netinyanga letisitfupha, kwaze kwaba nendlala lenkhulu kulo lonkhe live.+ 26 Nanobe kunjalo, Elija akazange atfunyelwe ngisho nakumunye walabo bafati ngaphandle kwemfelokati waseSarefathi, eveni laseSidoni.+ 27 Kantsi futsi bebabanyenti bantfu lebebanebulephelo ka-Israyeli ngesikhatsi sa-Elisha umphrofethi; kodvwa kute ngisho namunye lowelashwa* ngaphandle kwaNamani, indvodza yaseSiriya.”+ 28 Nabeva loku, bonkhe lebebasesinagogeni batfukutsela,+ 29 futsi basukuma bamkhiphela ngephandle kwelidolobha, bamyisa esicongweni sentsaba lapho belakhiwe khona, kuze bamjikijele phansi. 30 Kodvwa wavele waphuma emkhatsini wabo, wachubeka nendlela yakhe.+
31 Wase uya eKhaphanawume, lokulidolobha laseGalile. NgeliSabatha wacala kufundzisa,+ 32 futsi bantfu yabamangalisa indlela lebekafundzisa ngayo,+ ngobe bekakhuluma njengemuntfu loneligunya. 33 Lapho esinagogeni, bekunendvodza lebeyinelidimoni, futsi yamemeta kakhulu+ yatsi: 34 “Ufunani lapha wena Jesu waseNazaretha?+ Utele kutosibhubhisa yini? Ngiyati kutsi ungubani, unguLongcwele waNkulunkulu.”+ 35 Jesu walekhuta lelidimoni, watsi: “Bindza, futsi uphume kuye.” Ngako lelidimoni layilahla phansi lendvodza, lase liyaphuma kuyo lingakayilimati. 36 Bantfu bamangala kakhulu ngaloku, bakhuluma bodvwa batsi: “Yinkhulumo lenjani lena, ngobe ukhipha emadimoni ngeligunya nangemandla, futsi avele aphume?” 37 Ngako imibiko lemayelana naye yagcwala kuto tonkhe tindzawo.
38 Nakaphuma esinagogeni, waya endlini yaSimoni. Maketala waSimoni bekaphetfwe ngumkhuhlane lomubi, futsi bacela Jesu kutsi amsite.+ 39 Ngako wema eceleni kwakhe wamelapha, lomkhuhlane waphela. Lomaketala waPhetro wavuka ngekushesha wase ubalungisela kudla.
40 Kwatsi nasekuhwalala, bantfu baletsa kuye labo lebebagula baphetfwe tifo letehlukahlukene. Bonkhe bekababeka tandla abelaphe.+ 41 Emadimoni bekaphuma kulabanyenti, amemete atsi: “Wena uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu.”+ Kodvwa wawekhuta futsi bekangawavumeli kutsi akhulume+ ngobe bekamati kutsi unguKhristu.+
42 Ngakusasa ekuseni, waphuma waya endzaweni lethulile.+ Kodvwa sicumbi sebantfu samfuna saze sefika lapho bekakhona khona, futsi setama kumvimbela kutsi angahambi. 43 Watsi kuso: “Nakulamanye emadolobha kufanele ngitishumayele letindzaba letimnandzi teMbuso waNkulunkulu, ngobe nguloko lengatfunyelwa kona.”+ 44 Ngako washumayela emasinagogeni aseJudiya.
