Luka 12
1Kusenjalo sekubuthene ixuku labantu, baze banyathelana, waqala ukuthi kubafundi bakhe kuqala: “Xwayani imvubelo yabaFarisi engukuzenzisa.
2Ngokuba akukho okumboziwe, okungayikwambulwa; nokufihliweyo, okungasayikwaziwa.
3Ngakho-ke konke enikukhulume ebumnyameni kuyakuzwakala ekukhanyeni; nalokho enikukhulume endlebeni emakamelweni kuyakumenyezelwa phezu kwezindlu.
4Kepha ngithi kini bangane bami: Ningabesabi ababulala umzimba, bengenakwenza okunye emva kwalokho.
5Kepha ngiyakunibonisa eniyakumesaba: Mesabeni lowo othi esebulele abe namandla okuphonsa esihogweni; yebo, ngithi kini: Mesabeni yena.
6Akuthengwa yini imizwilili eyisihlanu ngamasentimitha amabili, kanti akukho namunye kubo olibalekayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu na?
7Kodwa nezinwele zekhanda lenu zibaliwe zonke. Ngakho-ke ningesabi: nina nibaluleke kunondlunkulu abaningi.
8Futhi ngithi kini: Yilowo nalowo oyakungivuma phambi kwabantu, neNdodana yomuntu nayo iyakumvuma phambi kwezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu;
9Kepha ongiphika phambi kwabantu uyakuphikwa phambi kwezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu.
10Nalowo okhuluma izwi elibi ngeNdodana yomuntu uyakuthethelelwa, kepha ohlambalaza uMoya oNgcwele kayikuthethelelwa.
11Nxa beniyisa emasinagogeni, nasezinduneni nakubabusi, ningakhathazeki ngokuthi niyakuphendula ngani, ngokuthini, nangalokho eniyakukukhuluma;
12Ngokuba uMoya oNgcwele uyakunifundisa ngaso leso sikhathi enifanele ukukusho.
13Omunye wesixuku wathi kuye: “Mfundisi, khuluma kumfowethu abelane nami ifa.
14Wasesithi kuye: Ndoda, ngubani ongibeke umahluleli lomahlukanisi phezu kwenu?
15Wathi kubo: Qaphelani, nixwaye ukuhaha, ngokuba ukuphila komuntu akumi echichimeni lempahla yakhe.
16Wasebatshela umfanekiso, esithi: Insimu yomuntu othile onothileyo yathela kakhulu;
17Wazindla phakathi kwakhe, wathi: Ngizakwenzani, lokhu kangilandawo lapho engingabuthela khona izithelo zami?
18Wasesithi: Lokhu ngizakwenza: ngizadiliza izinqolobane zami, ngakhe ezinkulu; ngizabuthela khona zonke izithelo zami lempahla yami.
19Ngizakuthi kuwo umphefumulo wami: Mphefumulo, ulempahla enengi ebekelelwe iminyaka eminengi; khululeka, udle, uphuze, ujabule.
20Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuye: Siphukuphuku, ngalobubusuku umphefumulo wakho uzakubizwa kuwe;
21Unjalo oziqongelelela ingcebo, engacebile kuNkulunkulu.
22Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Ngakho ngithi kini: Lingakhathaleli impilo yenu, ukuthi lizakudlani; noma ngomzimba ukuthi niyakwembathani.
23Ukuphila kungaphezu kokudla, nomzimba mkhulu kunesambatho.
24Bhekani amagwababa, ngokuba awahlwanyeli, awavuni; elingenazinqolobane nanqolobane; uNkulunkulu uyazondla; nina nizidlula kangakanani izinyoni na?
25Ngumuphi kini ongathi ngokukhathazeka anezele ubude bakhe ingalo eyodwa na?
26Ngakho-ke uma ningenakukwenza lokho okuncane kakhulu, nizikhathazelani ngokunye na?
27Bhekani iminduze ukuthi imila kanjani; ayikhandleki, ayiphothi; kodwa ngithi kini: USolomoni enkazimulweni yakhe yonke wayengavunule njengomunye wayo.
28Uma uNkulunkulu embesa kanjalo utshani basendle obukhona namuhla, kusasa buphonswe eziko; kakhulu kangakanani anigqokisa nina eninokukholwa okuncane na?
29Futhi ningafuni eniyakudlani noma niyakuphuza, futhi ningabi ngabangabaza.
30Ngokuba konke lokho izizwe zomhlaba ziyakudinga; uYihlo uyazi ukuthi niyakudinga lokho.
31Kodwa funani kakhulu umbuso kaNkulunkulu; futhi zonke lezi zinto ziyakwenezelwa nina.
32Ningesabi, mhlambi omncane; ngoba kuyintokozo kuYihlo ukulinika umbuso.
33Thengisani ngempahla yenu, niphe izipho; zilungiseleni izikhwama ezingagugiyo, ingcebo engapheli ezulwini, lapho kungasondeli sela, kungoni nundu.
34Ngokuba lapho kukhona ingcebo yenu, nenhliziyo yenu iyakuba-khona.
35Izinkalo zenu mazibe ziboshiwe, nezibani zenu zivutha;
36Nani nibe njengabantu abalindele inkosi yabo, lapho ibuya emshadweni; ukuze kuthi nxa efika engqongqotha, bamvulele masinyane.
37Zibusisiwe lezozinceku, okuyakuthi inkosi, nxa ifika, izifumane zilindile;
38Futhi uma ifika ngomlindo wesibili, noma ifika ngomlindo wesithathu, izifica zinjalo, zibusisiwe lezozinceku.
39Yazini lokhu, ukuthi uba umninindlu ebesazi ihola isela elizakuza ngalo, ubezalinda, njalo ubengavumanga ukuthi indlu yakhe ifohlwe.
40Ngakho-ke nani hlalani nilungile, ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu iza ngehora eningalicabangiyo.
41UPetru wayesethi kuye: “Nkosi, lo mfanekiso uwukhuluma kithi noma kubo bonke na?
42INkosi yasisithi: Pho, ngubani umphathi othembekileyo lohlakaniphileyo, inkosi yakhe eyakumbeka phezu kwabendlu yayo, ukuze abaphe isabelo sabo sokudla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo?
43Ibusisiwe leyo nceku okuyakuthi inkosi yayo nxa ifika iyifumane yenze njalo.
44Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Izayibeka phezu kwakho konke elakho.
45Kodwa uba leyonceku ithi enhliziyweni yayo: Inkosi yami ilibele ukuza; aqale ukushaya izinceku nezincekukazi, nokudla, nokuphuza, nokudakwa;
46Inkosi yaleyo nceku iyakufika ngosuku engayibhekile ngayo nangehora engalazi, iyinqume phakathi, iyimisele isabelo sayo nabangakholwayo.
47Leyo nceku ebiyazi intando yenkosi yayo ingalungisi, ingenzanga njengentando yayo, iyakushaywa imivimbo eminingi;
48Kepha obengazi, wenza okufanele imivimbo, uyakushaywa imivimbo eyingcosana. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo ophiwe okuningi, kuyakubizwa okuningi kuye;
49Ngize ukuphonsa umlilo emhlabeni; ngiyakuthini uma sekubasiwe na?
50Kepha nginombhapathizo engizakubhapathizwa ngawo; futhi yeka indlela engicindezelekile ngayo kuze kufezeke!
51Nithi ngize ukuletha ukuthula emhlabeni na? Ngithi kini, Cha; kodwa kunalokho ukwahlukana.
52Ngokuba kusukela manje kuyakuba khona abayisihlanu endlini inye behlukene, abathathu nababili, nababili nabathathu.
53Uyise uyakwehlukana nendodana, nendodana noyise; unina nendodakazi, nendodakazi nonina; uninazala amelane lomalokazana wakhe, lomalokazana amelane loninazala.
54Wayesethi nakuzo izixuku: “Nxa nibona ifu livela entshonalanga, masinyane nithi: ‘Kuyeza imvula;’ futhi kunjalo.
55Nxa nibona umoya waseningizimu uphephetha, nithi: ‘Kuzoba ukushisa;’ futhi kwenzeka.
56Bazenzisi, niyakwazi ukubona ubuso bezulu nomhlaba; kodwa kungani lingaqedisisi lesisikhathi?
57Yebo, kungani nina ngokwenu ningazahluleli okulungile na?
58Nxa uya enkosini nomelene nawe, nisesendleleni, qiniseka ukuthi ukhululwe kuye; funa akudonsele kumahluleli, umahluleli akunikele esikhonzini, iphoyisa likuphonse etilongweni.
59Ngithi kuwe: Kawusoze usuke lapho, uze ukhiphe imadlana yokugcina.
