Luka 9
1Wasebizela ndawonye abafundi bakhe abayishumi nambili, wabanika amandla negunya phezu kwamademoni onke, nokuphulukisa izifo.
2Wabathuma ukuthi bashumayele umbuso kaNkulunkulu, baphulukise abagulayo.
3Wathi kubo: “Ningaphathi lutho lwendlela, naludondolo, nasikhwama, nasinkwa, namali; futhi ningabi namabhantshi amabili.
4Nakuyiphi indlu eningena kuyo, hlalani khona, nimuke lapho.
5Lalowo ongayikunamukela, anothi niphuma kulowo muzi, nivuthulule nothuli ezinyaweni zenu, kube ngubufakazi kubo.
6Base bemuka, badabula imizi, beshumayela ivangeli, bephulukisa ezindaweni zonke.
7Kepha uHerode umtetrarki wezwa konke okwenziwa nguye, wasambatheka, ngokuba abanye bathi uJohane uvukile kwabafileyo;
8labanye ukuthi uEliya ubonakele; labanye ukuthi kwavuka omunye wabaprofethi abadala.
9UHerodi wathi: “UJohane ngamnquma ikhanda; wasefisa ukumbona.
10Sebebuyile abaphostoli bamtshela konke ababekwenzile. Wabathatha, wamuka nabo bebodwa endaweni eyihlane yomuzi othiwa iBetsayida.
11Kwathi isixuku sekwazi lokho, samlandela;
12Kwathi sekuqala ukuhwalala, kwafika abalitshumi lambili, bathi kuye: Yekisa ixuku lihambe, ukuze baye emizaneni lesemaphandleni, balale, bathole ukudla; ngoba lapha sisenkangala indawo.
13Kodwa wathi kubo: Bapheni lina ukudla. Base bethi: “Asisenazinkwa eziyisihlanu nezinhlanzi ezimbili; ngaphandle kokuthi sihambe sibathengele bonke lababantu inyama.
14Ngokuba kwakungamadoda angathi izinkulungwane eziyisihlanu. Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Bahlaliseni phansi ngamaviyo ngamatshumi amahlanu.
15Benza njalo, babahlalisa bonke.
16Wazithabatha izinkwa eziyisihlanu nezinhlanzi ezimbili, wabheka ngasezulwini, wazibusisa, wazihlephula, wanika abafundi ukuba babeke phambi kwesixuku.
17Badla, basutha bonke, kwabuthwa imvuthuluka eseleyo kubo, iziqabetho eziyishumi nambili.
18Kwathi ekhuleka yedwa, abafundi bakhe babenaye, wababuza, wathi: “Isixuku sithi ngingubani na?
19Basebephendula bathi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi; kodwa abanye bathi: UEliya; labanye bathi: Kuvukile omunye wabaprofethi abadala.
20Wathi kubo: “Nina-ke nithi ngingubani na? UPetro waphendula wathi: UKristu kaNkulunkulu.
21Wabalaya kakhulu, wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu lokho;
22esithi: INdodana yomuntu imelwe ukuhlupheka ngokuningi, ilahlwe ngamalunga nabapristi abakhulu nababhali, ibulawe, futhi ivuswe ngosuku lwesithathu.
23Wathi kubo bonke: “Uma umuntu ethanda ukungilandela, makazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe imihla ngemihla, angilandele.
24Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho, kepha olahlekelwa ngukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yami uyakukusindisa.
25Ngokuba kuyakumsizani umuntu, uma ezuza izwe lonke, kodwa ezilahlekele noma alahlwe?
26Ngokuba yilowo nalowo onamahloni ngami nangamazwi ami, iNdodana yomuntu iyakuba namahloni ngaye, lapho iza ngenkazimulo yayo, nekaYise, neyezingelosi ezingcwele.
27Kodwa ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangayikukuzwa ukufa, baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
28Kwathi emva kwalawo mazwi kungathi izinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili, wathatha oPetru noJohane noJakobe, wakhuphukela entabeni ukuyokhuleka.
29Kwathi ekhuleka, isimo sobuso bakhe saguquka, nengubo yakhe yaba mhlophe, yabenyezela.
30Bheka, kwakhuluma naye amadoda amabili, oMose no-Eliya;
31ababonakala ngenkazimulo, bakhuluma ngokumuka kwakhe abezakufeza eJerusalema.
32Kepha uPetru nababe naye babesindwa ubuthongo; sebevukile babona inkazimulo yakhe namadoda amabili ayemi naye.
33Kwathi ekwahlukaneni kwawo kuye, uPetru wathi kuJesu: “Rabi, kuhle ukuba sibe lapha; elinye libe ngelakho, elinye libe ngelikaMose, elinye libe ngelika-Eliya, engakwazi akushoyo.
34Esakhuluma lokho, kwafika ifu, labasithibeza; besaba lapho bengena efwini.
35Kwavela izwi efwini, lithi: “Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo;
36Kwathi izwi seliphumile, uJesu wafunyanwa eyedwa. Bakugcina, abatshela muntu ngalezo zinsuku lutho lwalezo zinto ababezibonile.
37Kwathi kusisa sebehlile entabeni, ixuku elikhulu lamhlangabeza.
38Bheka, kwamemeza indoda esixukwini, yathi: “Mfundisi, ngiyakucela ukuba ubheke indodana yami, ngokuba yiyo yodwa kimi;
39Bheka, umoya uyambamba, akhale masinyane; wamdwengula, aze akhihlize amagwebu, asuke kalukhuni kuye ukumlimaza.
40Ngabancenga abafundi bakho ukuthi bawukhiphe; kepha abakwazanga.
41UJesu waphendula wathi: “O sizukulwane esingakholwayo nesiphambeneyo, koze kube nini nginani, nginibekezelela na? Letha lapha indodana yakho.
42Kwathi eseza, idimoni layiwisela phansi, layihlukumeza kakhulu. UJesu wamkhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wamphulukisa umntwana, wambuyisela kuyise.
43Basebemangala bonke ngamandla amakhulu kaNkulunkulu. Kwathi bonke bemangala ngakho konke akwenzayo uJesu, wathi kubafundi bakhe.
44Bekani la mazwi endlebeni zenu, ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu iyakukhashelwa ezandleni zabantu.
45Kodwa kabaliqondanga lelilizwi, njalo lalifihlakele kubo, ukuze bangaliqondi; basebesesaba ukumbuza ngalelolizwi.
46Kwase kuba khona ukuphikisana phakathi kwabo kokuthi ngubani ongaba mkhulu kubo.
47UJesu ebona izizindlo zenhliziyo yabo, wathatha umntwana, wammisa eduze kwakhe.
48Wathi kubo: “Yilowo nalowo owamukela lo mntwana egameni lami uyangamukela mina;
49UJohane waphendula wathi: “Mfundisi, sabona umuntu ekhipha amademoni ngegama lakho; sasesimenqabela, ngoba engasilandeli.
50UJesu wathi kuye: “Ningamnqabeli, ngokuba ongamelene nathi ungakithi.
51Kwathi sesifikile isikhathi sokuthi anyuswe, waqinisela ubuso bakhe ukuya eJerusalema.
52Wathuma izithunywa phambi kwakhe, zahamba, zangena emzaneni wamaSamariya ukuba amlungisele.
53Kodwa kabamemukelanga, ngoba ubuso bakhe babunjengokuya eJerusalema.
54Kwathi abafundi bakhe oJakobe noJohane bekubona bathi: “Nkosi, uyathanda ukuba sibize umlilo wehle ezulwini, ubaqothule, njengokuba no-Eliya enza na?
55Kodwa watshibilika, wabakhuza wathi: Kalikwazi ukuthi lingabomoya onjani.
56Ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu ayizanga ukubhubhisa imiphefumulo yabantu, kodwa ukuyisindisa. Bahamba baya komunye umuzi.
57Kwathi besahamba endleleni, umuntu othile wathi kuye: “Nkosi, ngiyakukulandela noma ngaphi lapho oya khona.
58UJesu wathi kuye: “Izimpungushe zinemigodi, nezinyoni zezulu zinezidleke; kodwa iNdodana yomuntu kayilalapho engaqamelisa khona ikhanda.
59Wasesithi komunye: Ngilandele. Kodwa wathi: Nkosi, ngivumele ngiye kuqala ngingcwabe ubaba.
60UJesu wathi kuye: “Yeka abafileyo bembele abafileyo babo;
61Nomunye wathi: “Nkosi, ngiyakukulandela; kodwa ngivumele ngiqale ngiyevalelisa labo abasekhaya.
62UJesu wathi kuye: “Akakho othi esebeké isandla sakhe egejeni, abuke emuva, ofanele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
