ULUKA 13:1-21 XHO75

Ke kaloku kwaye kukho abathile ngelo xesha, ababembikela amaGalili, agazi uPilato waliphithikeza namadini awo. Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Niba na loo maGalili ebengaboni ngaphezu kwawo onke amaGalili, ngokuba evé ubunzima obunjalo? Ndithi kuni, Hayi; nòthi xa sukuba ningaguquki, nitshabalale kwangokunjalo nonke. Hi, bona abo balishumi elinesibhozo, bawelwa yinqaba eseSilowa, yababulala; niba na babenetyala ngaphezu kwabo bonke abantu abemiyo eYerusalem? Ndithi kuni, Hayi; nòthi, xa sukuba ningaguquki, nitshabalale kwangokunjalo nonke. Wabethetha ke lo mzekeliso: Ubani wayenomkhiwane, utyelwe esidiliyeni sakhe; weza efuna isiqhamo kuwo, akafumana nto. Wathi ke kumsébenzi-sidiliya, Uyabona, ndiminyaka mithathu ndiza ndifuna isiqhamo kulo mkhiwane, ndingafumani nto; wugawule; yini na ukuba úde uphuthise nomhlaba. Aphendule ke yena athi kuye, Nkosi, wuyeke nangaló mnyaka, ndide khendimbe ndiwurhaqe, ndigalele umgquba. Ukuba ke uthe wavelisa isiqhamo, wòwuyeka; ke ukuba akubanga njalo, wòbuya uwugawule. Ke kaloku wayefundisa kwenye yezindlu zesikhungu ngayo isabatha. Kwabonakala kukho ntokazi ibinomoya wobulwelwe iminyaka elishumi elinesibhozo; yaye igobile, ingenako kanye ukuziphakamisa. Eyibonile ke uYesu, wayibiza wathi kuyo, Ntokazindini, khululeka ebulwelweni bakho. Wayibeka ke izandla; yoluka kwangoko, yazukisa uThixo. Ke kaloku waphendula umphathi wendlu yesikhungu, ecaphuka kuba uYesu waphilisa ngesabatha, wathi kwizihlwele, Mithandathu imihla ekufanele ukusetyenzwa ngayo; yizani ngayo ngoko niphiliswe, kungabi ngawo umhla wesabatha. Yamphendula ngoko iNkosi, yathi, Mhanahanisindini, akathi na elowo kuni ayikhulule ngesabatha inkomo yakhe, nokuba liesile lakhe, emkhumbini wesitali, alirhole aye kuliseza? Lo ke, eyintombi ka-Abraham nje, ayibophileyo uSathana, khangela, le minyaka ilishumi elinesibhozo, ubengamele ukukhululwa na kulo mabophe ngomhla wesabatha? Akubon' ukuba uyazithetha ezo ndawo, badaniswa bonke abachasene naye; zathi zonke izihlwele zavuya ngazo zonke izinto ezizukileyo ezenziwa nguye. Wayesithi ke, Bufana nantoni na ubukumkani bukaThixo? Ndiya kubufanisa nantoni na? Bufana nokhozo lwemostade, awaluthabathayo umntu, waluphosa emyezweni wakhe; lwahluma lwaba ngumthi omkhulu, zathi iintaka zezulu zahlala emasebeni awo. Wabuya wathi, Ndiya kubufanisa nantoni na ubukumkani bukaThixo? Bufana negwele, awalithabathayo umfazi, walifihla ezilinganisweni zozithathu zomgubo, wada wabiliswa uphela.
