Luka 14
1Kwathi ngesabatha engena endlini yomunye wabaphathi babaFarisi ukuba adle isinkwa, bona bamqaphela.
2Bheka, kwakukhona phambi kwakhe indoda ethile eyayinochoko.
3UJesu waphendula wakhuluma kuzo izazimthetho nabaFarisi, wathi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukuphulukisa ngesabatha na?
4Basebethula. Wamthatha, wamphulukisa, wamkhulula;
5Wabaphendula wathi: “Ngumuphi kini ongathi imbongolo noma inkabi iwele emgodini, angayikhiphi masinyane ngosuku lwesabatha na?
6Abazange besamphendula ngalezo zinto.
7Wayesebatshela umfanekiso kwabamenyiweyo, ebona ukuthi babekhetha izindlu eziphambili; ethi kubo.
8Nxa umenywe ngumuntu emshadweni, ungahlali esigcawini; hlezi omunye ohloniphekayo kulawe abizwe nguye;
9beseza okumemileyo laye, athi kuwe: Khipha lo; bese uqala ukuhlala endaweni ephansi ngokunamahloni.
10Kodwa nxa umenyiwe, hamba uhlale endaweni esekucineni; ukuze kuthi nxa efika okumemileyo athi kuwe: Mngane, yenyukela enhla;
11Ngokuba yilowo nalowo oziphakamisayo uyakuthotshiswa; lalowo ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
12Wayesethi nakumemileyo: “Nxa usenza isidlo sakusihlwa noma sakusihlwa, ungabizi abangane bakho, nabafowenu, noma izihlobo zakho, noma omakhelwane bakho abanothile; funa nabo babuye bakumeme, kube nembuyiselo kuwe.
13Kepha nxa wenza idili, mema abampofu, nezinyonga, nezinyonga, nezimpumputhe;
14Wena uyakubusiswa; ngokuba abanakukubuyisela, ngokuba uyakuvuzwa ekuvukeni kwabalungileyo.
15Kwathi omunye wababehlezi naye ekudleni esizwa lezizinto, wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe odla isinkwa embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
16Wasesithi kuye: Umuntu othile wenza idili elikhulu, wamema abanengi;
17Wathuma inceku yakhe ngesikhathi sokudla ukuba ithi kwabamenyiweyo: Wozani; ngoba konke sekulungile.
18Basebeqala ukuzilandulela bonke nganhliziyonye. Owokuqala wathi kuye: Ngithenge isiqephu sensimu, ngimelwe ukuyosibona;
19“Omunye wathi: ‘Ngithenge izinkabi ezingaba yisihlanu, ngisaya ukuzivivinya; ngicela ungixolele.
20Lomunye wathi: Ngithethe umfazi, ngakho ngingeze.
21Yafika leyo nceku, yabikela inkosi yayo lokho. Khona umninindlu wathukuthela, wathi encekwini yakhe: Phuma masinyane, uye emigwaqweni nasemigwaqweni yomuzi, ungenise lapha abampofu, nezilima, nezinyonga, nezimpumputhe.
22Inceku yasisithi: Nkosi, sekwenziwe njengokulaya kwakho, kodwa indawo isekhona.
23Yathi inkosi encekwini: ‘Phuma uye ezindleleni nasezintangweni, ubacindezele ukuba bangene, ukuze igcwale indlu yami.
24Ngoba ngithi kini: Kakho kulawomadoda abemenyiwe ozakuzwa ukudla kwami kwakusihlwa.
25Kwasekuhamba laye amaxuku amakhulu, wasetshibilika wathi kuwo.
26Uma umuntu eza kimi, engazondi uyise, nonina, nomkakhe, nabantwana, nabafowabo, nawodadewabo, yebo, nokuphila kwakhe futhi, angebe ngumfundi wami.
27Nalowo ongathwali isiphambano sakhe, angilandele, angebe ngumfundi wami.
28Ngoba ngumuphi kini othi efuna ukwakha umbhoshongo, angahlali phansi kuqala, abale izindleko, ukuthi unakho ukuwuqeda na?
29Hleze, esesibekile isisekelo, engakwazi ukusiqeda, bonke abakubonayo baqale ukumhleka usulu;
30besithi: Lomuntu waqala ukwakha, kodwa kabanga lamandla okuqeda.
31Noma iyiphi inkosi, ethi iyakulwa nenye inkosi, ingahlali phansi kuqala, ibuze ukuthi inamandla yini ngezinkulungwane eziyishumi ukuhlangabeza oza kuyo enezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili na?
32Uma kungenjalo, esekude lowo, uthuma amanxusa, acele imibandela yokuthula.
33Kanjalo-ke, noma ubani kini ongashiyi konke anakho, angebe ngumfundi wami.
34Usawoti muhle, kepha uma usawoti edumele, ubusawoti bovuzwa ngani na?
35Awuwulungele umhlabathi, noma umquba; kodwa abantu bayawukhipha. Onezindlebe zokuzwa makezwe.
