Kulandzisa KwaLukha
5 Ngalelinye lilanga, ngesikhatsi Jesu eme elugwini lwelwandle lwaseGenesaretha,*+ sicumbi sebantfu sabutsana seta kuye kuze silalele livi laNkulunkulu. 2 Wabona tikebhe letimbili time ngaselugwini, kodvwa badwebi bebaphumile kuto bawasha emanethi abo.+ 3 Wagibela kusinye sato, lebesisaSimoni, wamcela kutsi asikhweshise kancane elugwini. Wahlala phansi kulesikebhe wase ufundzisa lesicumbi. 4 Nakacedza watsi kuSimoni: “Asewuchubekele lakushona khona, bese nijika emanethi enu lapho.” 5 Simoni wamphendvula watsi: “Mfundzisi, sisebente busuku bonkhe lapha futsi sangabambi lutfo,+ kodvwa ngobe sekusho wena, ngitawajika lamanethi.” 6 Batsi nabenta njalo, babamba incumbi yetinhlanti, kangangekutsi emanethi abo acala kudzabuka.+ 7 Bakhweba lalabanye lebebakulelesinye sikebhe kutsi bete batobasita, futsi beta batigcwalisa totimbili letikebhe, taze tacala kucwila. 8 Nakabona loku, Simoni Phetro waguca embikwaJesu watsi: “Angikufaneli kuba sedvute nawe Nkhosi, ngobe ngingumuntfu lonesono.” 9 Simoni nalabo lebekanabo bebamangaliswe ngulobunyenti betinhlanti lebebatibambile, 10 futsi nemadvodzana aZebedi, boJakobe naJohane+ lebebasebenta naSimoni, nabo bebamangele. Kodvwa Jesu watsi kuSimoni: “Ungesabi. Kusukela lamuhla sewutawuba ngumdwebi webantfu.”+ 11 Ngako batikhweshisela elugwini letikebhe, futsi bashiya konkhe bamlandzela.+
12 Ngalelinye lilanga, Jesu bekasedolobheni lelitsite, futsi kweta indvodza lebeyigcwele bulephelo. Yatsi nayimbona, yaguca embikwakhe yatsintsa ngebuso phansi yamncenga yatsi: “Nkhosi, nawutsandza ungangenta ngihlanteke.”+ 13 Ngako-ke welula sandla sakhe wayitsintsa, watsi: “Ngiyatsandza, hlanteka.” Ngekushesha lobulephelo baphela.+ 14 Wase uyayecwayisa lendvodza kutsi ingatjeli muntfu, watsi: “Hamba uye kumphristi, futsi wente umnikelo ngenca yekuhlanjululwa kwakho, njengobe kushiwo eMtsetfweni waMosi,+ khona kutewuba bufakazi kubo.”+ 15 Kodvwa lendzaba yandza kakhulu, neticumbi tebantfu betita titomlalela futsi titowelashwa tifo tato.+ 16 Nanobe kunjalo, Jesu bekahamba aye etindzaweni letithulile afike athantaze.
17 Ngalelinye lilanga ngesikhatsi asafundzisa, bekunebaFarisi nebafundzisi beMtsetfo lebebasuka kuwo onkhe emadolobha aseGalile, eJudiya kanye naseJerusalema, futsi bebahleti lapho. Jehova* wamniketa emandla ekwelapha labagulako.+ 18 Kwefika bantfu baletsa indvodza lebeyingakhoni kuhamba, bayetfwele ngeluhlaka, futsi betama kuyingenisa kuze bayibeke embikwaJesu.+ 19 Kodvwa behluleka kuyingenisa ngobe bekugcwele kulendlu, ngako bagibela etulu eluphahleni, bavula sikhala bayehlisa ngeluhlaka ngakulabo lebebeme embikwaJesu. 20 Nakabona kukholwa kwabo, watsi: “Ndvodza, tono takho titsetselelwe.”+ 21 Tati temtsetfo nebaFarisi bakhuluma bodvwa batsi: “Ngubani lona lohlambalatako? Ngubani longatsetselela tono ngaphandle kwaNkulunkulu?”+ 22 Akwati loko lebebakucabanga, Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Yini lena leniyicabangako? 23 Ngukuphi lokuncono kutsi ngitsi: ‘Tono takho titsetselelwe,’ nobe ngitsi: ‘Sukuma uhambe’? 24 Kodvwa ngitanikhombisa kutsi iNdvodzana yemuntfu ineligunya lekutsetselela tono lapha emhlabeni,” ngako watsi kulendvodza lebeyingakhoni kuhamba: “Ngitsi kuwe sukuma, utsatse luhlaka lwakho uhambe uye ekhaya.”+ 25 Ngekushesha yasukuma embikwabo, yatsatsa loluhlaka lwayo, yahamba yaya ekhaya idvumisa Nkulunkulu. 26 Bonkhe bantfu bamangala kakhulu, badvumisa Nkulunkulu futsi bacala kwesaba, batsi: “Sibone tintfo letimangalisako lamuhla!”
27 Jesu wesuka lapho wahamba, wabona umtselisi lobekabitwa ngekutsi nguLevi ahleti endzaweni yekutselisa, watsi kuye: “Ngilandzele.”+ 28 Levi washiya tonkhe tintfo, wasukuma wamlandzela. 29 Ngemuva kwaloko wentela Jesu lidzili lelikhulu endlini yakhe, futsi bekunebatselisi labanyenti nalabanye bantfu lebebahleti nabo.+ 30 Nababona loku, baFarisi netati temtsetfo bacala kukhonona kubafundzi bakhe batsi: “Kwentiwa yini kutsi nidle futsi ninatse nebatselisi netoni?”+ 31 Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Bantfu labaphilile abamdzingi dokotela, kodvwa ngulabagulako labamdzingako.+ 32 Angiketeli kutobita bantfu labalungile, kodvwa ngitobita toni kuze tiphendvuke.”+
33 Bona batsi kuye: “Bafundzi baJohane bahlale bazila kudla futsi bancusa, nebafundzi bebaFarisi benta lokufanako, kodvwa bafundzi bakho bona bayadla futsi banatse.”+ 34 Jesu watsi kubo: “Bangani bemkhwenyane bangakuzila yini kudla nangabe asekhona? 35 Kodvwa sikhatsi siyeta lapho umkhwenyane+ atawuhamba khona,* kube ngukhona-ke bazila kudla.”+
36 Wabatjela umfanekiso watsi: “Kute umuntfu lochibela ingubo lendzala ngesicephu lesisha. Nakangenta njalo, lesicephu singadzabuka, futsi ngeke sifane nalengubo lendzala.+ 37 Ngetulu kwaloko, kute umuntfu lofaka liwayini lelisha etigujini letindzala tesikhumba. Nakangenta njalo, letigubhu titawubhubuka futsi leliwayini licitseke, nato tonakale. 38 Kodvwa liwayini lelisha lifakwa etigujini letinsha tesikhumba. 39 Umuntfu lonatse liwayini lelidzala ubese akasalifuni lelisha, ngobe utsi: ‘Leliwayini lelidzala limnandzi.’”
