Ndebele - Luke - 18

18:1  Wasebatshela lomfanekiso esenzela ukuthi bafanele ukukhuleka isikhathi sonke, njalo bengadinwa,

18:2  wathi: Kwakukhona emzini othile umahluleli othile, owayengesabi uNkulunkulu, njalo engahloniphi muntu;

18:3  kwakukhona futhi kulowomuzi umfelokazi othile, njalo wayefika kuye, esithi: Ngiphindiselele esitheni sami.

18:4  Kodwa kavumanga okwesikhathi; kodwa emva kwalezizinto wathi ngaphakathi kwakhe: Lanxa ngingamesabi uNkulunkulu, ngingahloniphi muntu,

18:5  kodwa ngoba lumfelokazi engikhathaza, ngizamphindiselela, hlezi angaze ekucineni angidinise.

18:6  INkosi yasisithi: Zwanini umahluleli ongalunganga akutshoyo.

18:7  Kanti uNkulunkulu kayikwenza impindiselo yabakhethiweyo bakhe abakhalayo kuye emini lebusuku, lanxa ebekezela ngabo?

18:8  Ngiyalitshela ukuthi uzahle enze impindiselo yabo. Kodwa-ke nxa iNdodana yomuntu ifika, izathola ukholo yini emhlabeni?

18:9  Wasekhuluma lumfanekiso lakwabathile ababezithemba ukuthi balungile, futhi bedelela abanye, wathi:

18:10  Abantu ababili benyukela ethempelini ukuyakhuleka; omunye engumFarisi, lomunye engumthelisi.

18:11  UmFarisi wema wazikhulekela kanje wathi: Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ukuthi kanginjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangalunganga, izifebe, loba lanjengalumthelisi.

18:12  Ngizila ukudla kabili ngeviki, nginikela okwetshumi kwakho konke engikuzuzayo.

18:13  Kodwa umthelisi emi khatshana wayengathandi lokuphakamisela amehlo ezulwini, kodwa watshaya isifuba sakhe, esithi: Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele mina soni.

18:14  Ngithi kini: Lo wehlela endlini yakhe elungisisiwe kulalowayana; ngoba wonke oziphakamisayo uzathotshiswa, kodwa ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.

18:15  Basebeletha kuye lensane, ukuze azibambe; kodwa abafundi bekubona babakhuza.

18:16  Kodwa uJesu wazibizela kuye wathi: Vumelani abantwana abancane beze kimi, lingabenqabeli, ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanje.

18:17  Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngubani ongemukeli umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane, kasoze angene kuwo.

18:18  Umbusi othile wasembuza, esithi: Mfundisi olungileyo, ngenzeni ukuze ngidle ilifa lempilo elaphakade?

18:19  Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Ungibizelani ngokuthi olungileyo? Kakho olungileyo, ngaphandle koyedwa, uNkulunkulu.

18:20  Uyayazi imilayo ethi: Ungafebi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.

18:21  Yena wasesithi: Konke lokhu ngikugcinile kusukela ebutsheni bami.

18:22  Kodwa uJesu esizwa lezizinto wathi kuye: Usaswele ulutho olulodwa; thengisa konke olakho, wabele abayanga, njalo uzakuba lempahla eligugu ezulwini; njalo uze lapha ungilandele.

18:23  Kodwa yena esizwa lezizinto wadana kakhulu; ngoba wayenothile kakhulu.

18:24  Kwathi uJesu ebona ukuthi usedane kakhulu wathi: Abalenotho bazangena ngokulukhuni kangakanani embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

18:25  Ngoba kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene ngentunja yenalithi, kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

18:26  Abakuzwayo basebesithi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?

18:27  Kodwa yena wathi: Izinto ezingenzekiyo ebantwini ziyenzeka kuNkulunkulu.

18:28  UPetro wasesithi: Khangela, thina sitshiye konke, sakulandela.

18:29  Wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kakho umuntu otshiye indlu, kumbe abazali, kumbe abafowabo, kumbe umkakhe, kumbe abantwana, ngenxa yombuso kaNkulunkulu,

18:30  ongayikwemukela okuphindwe kanengi kulesisikhathi, lesikhathini esizayo impilo elaphakade.

18:31  Wasezithathela abalitshumi lambili, wathi kubo: Khangelani, senyukela eJerusalema, futhi konke okulotshiweyo ngabaprofethi ngeNdodana yomuntu kuzagcwaliseka.

18:32  Ngoba izanikelwa kwabezizwe, iyangiswe, ithukwe, ikhafulelwe ngamathe,

18:33  bayitshaye ngesiswepu bayibulale; njalo ngosuku lwesithathu izabuya ivuke.

18:34  Kodwa bona kabaqedisisanga lutho ngalezizinto, lalinkulumo yayifihlakele kubo, njalo kabaziqedisisanga izinto ezazitshiwo.

18:35  Kwasekusithi esesondela eJeriko, isiphofu esithile sasihlezi eceleni kwendlela siphanza;

18:36  sathi sisizwa ixuku lisedlula, sabuza ukuthi kuyini lokho.

18:37  Basebesitshela bathi: UJesu weNazaretha uyedlula.

18:38  Sasesimemeza, sisithi: Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida, ngihawukela!

18:39  Ababehamba phambili basebesikhuza ukuthi sithule; kodwa samemeza kakhulukazi, sisithi: Ndodana kaDavida, ngihawukele!

18:40  UJesu wema-ke walaya ukuthi silethwe kuye; sathi sesisondele wasibuza,

18:41  esithi: Ufuna ukuthi ngikwenzeleni? Sasesisithi: Nkosi, ukuthi ngibuye ngibone.

18:42  UJesu wasesithi kuso: Buya ubone! Ukholo lwakho lukusindisile.

18:43  Njalo sahle sabuya sabona, samlandela, sidumisa uNkulunkulu; labantu bonke bekubona badumisa uNkulunkulu.
