Luka 7
1Kwathi eseqedile amazwi akhe zonke ezindlebeni zabantu, wangena eKapernawume.
2Kepha inceku yenduna yekhulu ethile ethandekayo kuyo yayigula, isizakufa.
3Kwathi isizwile ngoJesu, yathuma kuye amalunga abaJuda, imcela ukuthi eze asilise inceku yayo.
4Esefikile kuJesu amncenga masinyane, esithi: Ufanele ukuthi amenzele lokhu;
5Ngokuba uyasithanda isizwe sakithi, wasakhela nesinagoge.
6Khona uJesu wahamba nabo. Esengasekude nendlu, induna yekhulu yathuma kuye abangani, bathi kuye: “Nkosi, ungazihluphi, ngokuba angifanele ukuba ungene phansi kophahla lwami;
7Ngakho angizibonanga ukuthi ngifanele ukuza kuwe, kodwa yisho ngezwi, khona inceku yami iyakusinda.
8Ngokuba nami ngingumuntu ophansi kwegunya, nginamasosha phansi kwami, ngithi kwelinye: ‘Hamba,’ lihambe; futhi kwenye: Woza, futhi uyeza; nasencekwini yami, Yenza lokhu, ikwenze.
9Kwathi uJesu ekuzwa lokho wamangala ngayo, waphenduka, wathi ezixukwini ezazimlandela: Ngithi kini: Angitholanga ukholo olungaka nakwaIsrayeli.
10Ababethunyiwe sebebuyela endlini bafica inceku isisindile.
11Kwathi ngangomuso waya emzini othiwa iNayini; abaningi babafundi bakhe bahamba naye nesixuku esikhulu.
12Esesondela ngasesangweni lomuzi, bheka, kwakukhona ofileyo ekhishelwa phandle, indodana eyodwa kanina, yena engumfelokazi, nabantu abaningi bomuzi babe naye.
13Yathi iNkosi imbona, yamhawukela, yathi kuye: “Ungakhali.
14Wasesondela wathinta uhlaka; abaluthweleyo bema. Yathi: Nsizwa, ngithi kuwe: Vuka.
15Ofileyo wavuka wahlala, waqala ukukhuluma. Wamnikela kunina.
16Ukwesaba kwehlela phezu kwabo bonke, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, bathi: “Kuvele umprofethi omkhulu phakathi kwethu; nokuthi, UNkulunkulu ubahambele abantu bakhe.
17Leli zindaba ngaye laphumela kulo lonke iJudiya nakulo lonke izwe langakhona.
18Abafundi bakaJohane bamtshela ngazo zonke lezizinto.
19UJohane esebizele kuye ababili kubafundi bakhe, wabathuma kuJesu ukuthi: “Wena unguye ozayo na? noma sifuna omunye?
20Kwathi efika kuye amadoda athi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi usithumile kuwe esithi: Wena unguye ozayo yini? noma sifuna omunye?
21Ngaleso sikhathi waphulukisa abaningi ezifweni zabo, nasezifweni, nasemoyeni ababi; nezimpumputhe eziningi wazipha ukubona.
22UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: “Hambani nimtshele uJohane lokho enikubonile nenikuzwile; ukuthi izimpumputhe ziyabona, izinyonga ziyahamba, abanochoko bayahlanjululwa, izithulu ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, abampofu bayashunyayelwa ivangeli.
23Futhi ubusisiwe ongayikukhubeka ngami.
24Zathi sezimukile izithunywa zikaJohane, waqala ukukhuluma ezixukwini ngoJohane, wathi: “Naphumela ukuyobonani ehlane na? Umhlanga unyakaziswa ngumoya na?
25Kodwa naphumela ukuyabonani na? Umuntu owembethe ingubo ethambileyo na? Bhekani, abembethe eziwubukhazikhazi, bephila kamnandi, basezindlini zamakhosi.
26Kodwa naphumela ukuyabonani na? Umprofethi? Yebo, ngithi kini, nodlula umprofethi.
27Nguye okulotshwe ngaye ukuthi: “Bheka, ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esiyakulungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
28Ngokuba ngithi kini: Kwabazelwe ngabesifazane akakho umprofethi omkhulu kunoJohane uMbhapathizi, kepha omncinyane embusweni kaNkulunkulu mkhulu kunaye.
29Nabo bonke abantu abamuzwayo nabathelisi bathi uNkulunkulu ulungile, bebhapathizwa ngobhapathizo lukaJohane.
30Kepha abaFarisi nezazimthetho bala icebo likaNkulunkulu eliqondene nabo, bengabhapathizwa nguye.
31Yathi iNkosi: Pho abantu balesi sizukulwane ngiyakubafanisa nani na? futhi bafana nani?
32Bafana nabantwana abahlezi esigcawini, bememezana bethi: “Sinishayele imitshingo, kepha anisinanga; sililile kini, kodwa anikhalanga.
33Ngokuba uJohane uMbhapathizi wafika engadli sinkwa, engaphuzi wayini; nithi: ‘Unedemoni.’
34INdodana yomuntu ifikile idla, inatha; nithi: ‘Bhekani, umuntu oyisiminzi nesiphuzi, umngane wabathelisi nezoni.
35Kodwa ukuhlakanipha kulungisiswa ngabantwana bakho bonke.
36Omunye wabaFarisi wamcela ukuthi adle laye. Wangena endlini yomFarisi, wahlala ekudleni.
37Bheka, owesifazane emzini, oyisoni, ekwazi ukuthi uJesu uhlezi ekudleni endlini yomFarisi, waletha umfuma wealabhaste wamafutha.
38Wema ngasezinyaweni zakhe emva kwakhe ekhala, waqala ukugeza izinyawo zakhe ngezinyembezi, wazesula ngezinwele zekhanda lakhe, wanga izinyawo zakhe, wazigcoba ngamafutha.
39Kwathi ekubona lokho umFarisi owayembizile, wakhuluma phakathi kwakhe, wathi: “Lona, ukuba ubengumprofethi, ngabe uyazi ukuthi ungubani nokuthi unjani owesifazane omthintayo, ngokuba uyisoni.
40UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Simoni, ngilelizwi kuwe. Wathi: “Khuluma, Mfundisi.
41Kwakukhona umtshelekisi othile owayenezikweletu ezimbili;
42Kwathi bengenanto yokukhokha, wabathethelela bobabili. Ngitshele-ke, yimuphi kubo oyakumthanda kakhulu na?
43USimoni waphendula wathi: Ngithi ngulowo amthethelela kakhulu. Wathi kuye: Wahlulele kahle.
44Wayesephendukela kowesifazane, wathi kuSimoni: Uyambona lona wesifazane? Ngingene endlini yakho, awunginikanga amanzi ezinyawo zami, kepha yena uzigezile izinyawo zami ngezinyembezi, wazesula ngezinwele zekhanda lakhe.
45Awunganganga, kepha lona wesifazane, selokhu ngingenile, akayekanga ukwanga izinyawo zami.
46Ikhanda lami awuligcobanga ngamafutha, kepha lona wesifazane ugcobe izinyawo zami ngamafutha.
47Ngakho-ke ngithi kuwe: Izono zakhe eziningi zithethelelwe; ngokuba wayethanda kakhulu, kepha othethelelwa okuncane, uthanda kancane.
48Wathi kuye: “Izono zakho zithethelelwe.
49Labo ababehlezi naye ekudleni baqala ukukhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Ngubani lo othethelela nezono na?
50Wathi kowesifazane: “Ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.
