Umfanekiso womhlwanyeli nowembewu ezimilelayo noweyesinaphi
(Math. 13:1; Luk. 8:4; 13:18)
1Khona wabuye waqala ukufundisa ngaselwandle. Kwabuthana kuye isixuku esikhulu kakhulu, waze wangena emkhunjini, wahlala elwandle; isixuku sonke sasisemhlabathini ngaselwandle. 2Wabafundisa okuningi ngemifanekiso; wathi kubo ekufundiseni kwakhe: 3“Lalelani; bhekani, kwaphuma umhlwanyeli ukuyohlwanyela. 4Kwathi ekuhlwanyeleni kwakhe enye imbewu yawela ngasendleleni; kwafika izinyoni, zayidla zayiqeda. 5Enye yawela edwaleni, lapho yayingenamhlabathi omningi khona; yamila masinyane, ngokuba ingenamhlabathi ojulileyo. 6Kwathi ukuba liphume ilanga, yahamuka; nangokuba ingenampande, yabuna. 7Enye yawela emeveni; ameva akhula, ayiminyanisa, ayaze yathela isithelo. 8Enye yawela emhlabathini omuhle; yahluma, yakhula, yathela isithelo, yaveza ngamashumi amathathu, nangamashumi ayisithupha, nangekhulu.”
9Wayesethi: “Onezindlebe zokuzwa makezwe.”
10Lapho esengasesitha, ababe naye kanye nabayishumi nambili bambuza ngale mifanekiso. 11Wathi kubo: “Nina niphiwe imfihlakalo yombuso kaNkulunkulu, kodwa abangaphandle benzelwa konke ngemifanekiso, 12 ukuze ngokubona babone, bangabonisisi, nangokuzwa bezwe, bangaqondi, funa baphenduke, bathethelelwe.”
13Wayesethi kubo: “Aniwazi lo mfanekiso; pho, niyakuyazi kanjani yonke imifanekiso na? 14Umhlwanyeli uhlwanyela izwi. 15Abangasendleleni yilabo abathi lapho kuhlwanyelwa khona izwi, nanxa sebelizwile, kufike masinyane uSathane, alisuse izwi elihlwanyelwe kubo. 16Kanjalo abahlwanyelwe edwaleni yilabo abathi sebelizwile izwi, balamukele masinyane ngokuthokoza; 17kepha kabanampande phakathi kwabo, kodwa bahlala isikhashana nje, kuthi sekuvele ukuhlupheka nokuzingelwa ngenxa yezwi, bakhubeke masinyane. 18Abanye bangabahlwanyelwe emeveni; yibo abalizwile izwi, 19 kepha iminako yalesi sikhathi, nokukhohlisa kwengcebo, nokunxanela ezinye izinto kungena kuliminyanise izwi, libe ngelingatheliyo. 20Nabahlwanyelwe emhlabathini omuhle yilabo abalizwa izwi, balamukele, bathele isithelo ngamashumi amathathu, nangamashumi ayisithupha, nangekhulu.”
21Wayesethi kubo: “Imbala isibani siza ukuba sibekwe phansi kwesitsha nokuba phansi kombhede yini, singabekwa othini, na? 22Ngokuba akukho okusithekileyo okungayikuhlalukiswa; akukho okuyisifuba okungayikuba sobala. 23Uma ekhona onezindlebe zokuzwa, makezwe.”
24Wayesethi kubo: “Qaphelani enikuzwayo; ngaleso silinganiso enilinganisa ngaso nani niyakulinganiselwa ngaso, nenezelwe nina. 25 Ngokuba onakho uyakuphiwa; kepha ongenakho uyakwamukwa nalokho anakho.”
26Wayesethi: “Unjalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu; unjengokuba umuntu ephonsa imbewu emhlabathini, 27alale, avuke ubusuku nemini, imibewu imile, ikhule, engazi ukuthi kanjani. 28Umhlabathi uthela isithelo ngokwawo, kuqala ikhaba, khona isikhwebu, besekuba yizinhlamvu ezipheleleyo esikhwetshini. 29Nxa sesivuthiwe isithelo, afake masinyane isikela, ngokuba ukuvuna sekufikile.”
30Wathi futhi: “Siyakuwufanisa nani umbuso kaNkulunkulu? Siyakuwuchaza ngamfanekiso muni na? 31Unjengenhlamvu yesinaphi ethi, nxa ihlwanyelwe emhlabathini, incinyane kunazo zonke izimbewu ezisemhlabeni, 32kodwa nxa isihlwanyelwe imila ibe nkulu kunazo zonke izilimo, ixhante amagatsha amakhulu, ukuze izinyoni zezulu zakhele emthunzini wawo.”
33Walikhuluma izwi kubo ngemifanekiso eminingi enjalo njengamandla abo okuzwa; 34kodwa ngaphandle komfanekiso kakhulumanga kubo; kepha sebebodwa wabachasisela abafundi bakhe konke.
Ukuthuliswa kwesivunguvungu
(Math. 8:23; Luk. 8:22)
35Ngalolo suku sekuhlwile, wathi kubo: “Asiwele siye ngaphesheya.” 36Base bemukisa isixuku, bahamba naye, njengalokho ebesemkhunjini; kwakukhona neminye imikhumbi ihambisana naye. 37Kwase kuvuka isivunguvungu esikhulu somoya, amaza aphonseka phakathi emkhunjini, umkhumbi waze waqala ukugcwala. 38Kepha yena wayengasemuva emkhunjini elele esicamelweni; bamvusa, bathi kuye: “Mfundisi, awunaki, nakuba sibhubha, na?”
39Wayesevuka, wakhuza umoya, wathi kulo ulwandle: “Thula, uthi du.” Kwanqamuka umoya, kwaba khona ukuthula okukhulu.
40Wathi kubo: “Yini ukuba nesabe kangaka na? Yini ukuba ningabi nakukholwa na?”
41Besaba ngokwesaba okukhulu, bathi omunye komunye: “Kanti lo ungubani, lokhu nomoya nolwandle kuyamlalela?”
