Luka 18
1Wayesebatshela nomfanekiso wokuthi kufanele bakhuleke njalo, bangadangali;
2esithi: Kwakukhona emzini othile umahluleli owayengamesabi uNkulunkulu, enganaki muntu;
3Kwakukhona futhi kulowo muzi umfelokazi; weza kuye, wathi: Ngiphindisele esitheni sami.
4Kwaba yisikhathi engavumi, kodwa ngasemuva wathi phakathi kwakhe: “Nakuba ngingamesabi uNkulunkulu, nginganaki muntu;
5nokho ngokuba lo mfelokazi engikhathaza, ngiyakumphindisela, funa angidinise ngokuza kwakhe njalo.
6Yathi iNkosi: Zwanini akushoyo umahluleli ongalungile.
7Futhi uNkulunkulu kayikuphindisela yini abakhethiweyo bakhe abakhala kuye imini lebusuku, lanxa ebabekezelela?
8Ngithi kini: Uzabalungisela masinyane. Nokho nxa ifika iNdodana yomuntu, iyakufumana ukukholwa emhlabeni na?
9Wasekhuluma lumfanekiso kwabathile ababezithemba ukuthi balungile, bedelela abanye;
10Amadoda amabili enyukela ethempelini ukuyokhuleka; omunye engumFarisi, omunye engumthelisi.
11UmFarisi wema wazikhulekela ngokuthi: “Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ngokuba ngingenjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangalungile, iziphingi, nanjengalo mthelisi.
12Ngizila ukudla kabili ngeviki, nginikela okweshumi kwakho konke enginakho.
13Kodwa umthelisi emi khatshana wayengathandi lokuphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, kodwa watshaya isifuba sakhe, esithi: Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele mina soni.
14Ngithi kini: Lo wehlela endlini yakhe elungisisiwe kulomunye; lalowo ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
15Baletha kuye nabantwana abancane ukuba abathinte; kepha abafundi sebekubona babakhuza.
16Kepha uJesu wababizela kuye, wathi: “Vumelani abantwana beze kimi, ningabenqabeli, ngokuba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanjalo.
17Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Yilowo nalowo ongamukeli umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana kasoze angena kuwo.
18Umbusi othile wambuza, wathi: “Mfundisi omuhle, ngenzeni ukuba ngidle ifa lokuphila okuphakade na?
19UJesu wathi kuye: “Ungibizelani ngokuthi ngimuhle na? kakho omuhle, ngaphandle koyedwa, uNkulunkulu.
20Uyayazi imilayo ethi: Ungafebi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, yazisa uyihlo lonyoko.
21Wathi: “Konke lokho ngikugcinile kwasebusheni bami.
22UJesu ekuzwa lokho wathi kuye: “Usasilalelwe into eyodwa; thengisa ngakho konke onakho, wabele abampofu, khona uzakuba negugu ezulwini; uze ungilandele.
23Ekuzwa lokho wadabuka kakhulu, ngokuba wayecebile kakhulu.
24UJesu ebona ukuthi wayelusizi kakhulu wathi: “Kuyakuba lukhuni kangakanani kwabanengcebo ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu!
25Ngokuba kulula ukuba ikamela lingene ngentunja yenaliti, kunokuba onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
26Abezwayo bathi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?
27Wathi: Izinto ezingenzekiyo kubantu ziyenzeka kuNkulunkulu.
28UPetro wasesithi: Khangela, thina sitshiye konke, sakulandela.
29Wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kakho otshiye indlu, kumbe abazali, kumbe abafowabo, kumbe umkakhe, kumbe abantwana, ngenxa yombuso kaNkulunkulu;
30ongayikwamukeliswa okuphindwe kaningi kulesi sikhathi, nasezweni elizayo ukuphila okuphakade.
31Wayesethatha abayishumi nambili, wathi kubo: “Bhekani, sikhuphukela eJerusalema, futhi konke okulotshwe ngabaprofethi ngeNdodana yomuntu kuyakufezeka.
32Ngokuba iyakukhashelwa kwabezizwe, iklolodelwe, iphathwe kabi, ikhafulelwe;
33bayakuyishaya, bayibulale, kepha ngosuku lwesithathu izakuvuka.
34Kodwa bona kabaqedisisanga lutho lwalezozinto, lelizwi lalifihlakele kubo, njalo kabakwazi okwakhulunywayo.
35Kwathi esondela eJeriko, impumputhe ethile yayihlezi ngasendleleni inxiba;
36Isizwa isixuku sidlula yabuza ukuthi kuyini.
37Base beyitshela ukuthi uJesu waseNazaretha uyadlula.
38Samemeza sathi: Jesu, Ndodana kaDavide, ngihawukele!
39Ababehamba phambili bamkhuza ukuba bathule;
40UJesu wema, wayala ukuba silethwe kuye;
41Esithi: Uthanda ukuthi ngenzeni kuwe? Wasesithi: Nkosi, ukuze ngibone.
42UJesu wathi kuye: “Bona!
43Khona masinyane yabona, yamlandela, idumisa uNkulunkulu; nabantu bonke bekubona badumisa uNkulunkulu.
