ULuka 10 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

10 ¹Emva koku, iNkosi yamisa abanye abangamashumi asixhenxe anababini, yabathuma ngambini ngambini phambi kwayo, baye kuwo onke amadolophu neendawo awayezimisele ukuya kuzo yena ngokwakhe.

²Wathi kubo: “Uvuno luninzi, kodwa bambalwa abasebenzi. Ngoko celani kuBawo wovuno ukuba athumela abasebenzi eluvunweni lwakhe. ³Hambani! Yabonani, mna ndinithuma njengamatakane phakathi kweengcuka. ⁴Ningaphathi mali, nangxowa, nazimbadada; ningabulisi mntu endleleni. ⁵Nakuyo nayiphi na indlu enithe nangena kuyo, yithini kuqala: ‘Uxolo malube kule ndlu.’ ⁶Ukuba kukho umntu woxolo khona, uxolo lwenu luya kuhlala kuye; ukuba akukho, luya kubuyela kuni. ⁷Hlalani kuloo ndlu, nisidla nisele oko kubekwe phambi kwenu, kuba umsebenzi ufanelwe ngumvuzo wakhe. Musani ukusuka endlwini nisiya endlwini. ⁸Nawuphi na umzi enithe nangena kuwo, baze banamkele, dlanini oko kubekwe phambi kwenu. ⁹Philisani imilwelwe ekuwo, nithi kubo: ‘Ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu busondele kuni.’ ¹⁰Kodwa nawuphi na umzi enithe nangena kuwo, banganamkeli, phumani niye ezitratweni zawo, nithi: ¹¹‘Nothuli lomzi wenu olunamathele ezinyaweni zethu, siyaluvuthululela kuni. Kodwa yazini oku: ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu busondele.’ ¹²Ndithi kuni, koba nokunyamezeleka ngaloo mini kweSodom, kunokwaloo mzi.

¹³“Yeha, wena Korazin! Yeha, wena Bhetesayida! Ukuba imisebenzi yamandla eyenziweyo phakathi kwenu ibenziwe eTire naseTsidon, ngebaguquka kudala, behleli ezirhwexayo nasethuthwini. ¹⁴Kodwa koba nokunyamezeleka kweTire naseTsidon ngomgwebo, kunokwenu. ¹⁵Nawe, Kapernahum, uya kuphakanyiselwa na emazulwini? Uya kuthontyelwa ezantsi esihogweni. ¹⁶Lowo uniphulaphulayo uphulaphula mna; lowo unalayo wala mna; lowo undalayo wala lowo wandithumayo.”

¹⁷Babuya abangamashumi asixhenxe anababini bevuya, besithi: “Nkosi, needemon ziyazithoba kuthi egameni lakho.”

¹⁸Wathi kubo: “Ndabona uSathana esiwa njengombane evela ezulwini. ¹⁹Yabonani, ndininike igunya lokunyathela phezu kweenyoka noonomadudwane, naphezu kwawo onke amandla otshaba; akukho nto iya kunenzakalisa. ²⁰Kodwa musani ukuvuya kuba oomoya bayazithoba kuni; vuyani kuba amagama enu abhaliwe emazulwini.”

²¹Ngelo xesha uYesu wavuya kuMoya oyiNgcwele, wathi: “Bawo, Mongami wezulu nehlabathi, ndiyakudumisa; wena uzifihlile ezi zinto kwizilumko nakwabanengqondo, wazityhila kubantwana abancinane. Ewe, Bawo, kuba oku bekukholekile kuwe.”

²²“Zonke izinto ndizinikiwe nguBawo. Akukho bani wazi ukuba ngubani na uNyana, nguBawo yedwa; nokuba ngubani na uBawo, nguNyana yedwa, kunye nalowo uNyana athanda ukumtyhilela.”

²³Waza wajika kubafundi, wathi ngasese: “Anoyolo amehlo abona oku nikubonayo! ²⁴Kuba ndithi kuni, baninzi abaprofeti nookumkani ababefuna ukubona oku nikubonayo, kodwa abakubonanga; nokuva oku nikuvayo, kodwa abakuvanga.”

Umzekeliso womSamariya Olungileyo

²⁵Kwesuka umqondisi-mthetho othile, wamlinga, wathi: “Mfundisi, mandenze ntoni na ukuze ndidle ilifa lobomi obungenasiphelo?”

²⁶Wathi kuye: “Kubhaliweyo ntoni na eMthethweni? Uwulesa njani na?”

²⁷Waphendula wathi: “Thanda uBawo wakho ngentliziyo yakho yonke, nangomphefumlo wakho wonke, nangamandla akho onke, nangengqondo yakho yonke; nommelwane wakho njengoko uzithanda ngako wena.”

²⁸Wathi kuye: “Uphendule ngokulungileyo. Yenza oku, uya kuphila.”

²⁹Kodwa efuna ukuzigwebela ityala, wabuza kuYesu: “Ngubani na umelwane wam?”

³⁰UYesu wathi: “Umntu othile wehla esuka eYerusalem esiya eYeriko, waza wawela phakathi kwezihange, zamhluba, zambetha, zamshiya ephantse ukufa. ³¹Ngethamsanqa ke kwehla umbingeleli othile ngaloo ndlela; akumbona, wagqithela ngaphesheya. ³²Kwangokunjalo nomLevi, akufika kuloo ndawo, wambona, wagqithela ngaphesheya. ³³Kodwa umSamariya othile, ehamba ngaloo ndlela, wamfumana; akumbona, wasikwa yimfesane. ³⁴Weza kuye, wayibopha imivumbo yakhe, wayigalela ioli newayini, wamkhwelisa kweyakhe inkabi, wamsa endlwini yabahambi, wamnyamekela. ³⁵Ngemini elandelayo, wakhupha iidrarhima ezimbini, wazinika umnini-ndlu yabahambi, wathi: ‘Monge. Nako konke oko uthe wakuchitha ngaphezulu, ndokubuyekeza xa ndibuyayo.’ ³⁶Nguwuphi na kwaba bathathu ocinga ukuba waba ngommelwane kuloo mntu wawela phakathi kwezihange?”

³⁷Wathi: “Ngulowo wamenzela inceba.” UYesu wathi kuye: “Hamba, wenjenjalo nawe.”

UMarta noMariya

³⁸Bakubon’ ukuba bayahamba, uYesu wangena emzaneni othile. Umfazi othile ogama linguMarta wamamkela endlwini yakhe. ³⁹Wayenodade wabo ogama linguMariya, owahlala ngasezinyaweni zeNkosi, wayiphulaphula imfundiso yayo. ⁴⁰Kodwa uMarta wayephazanyiswa ngenxa yokulungiselela okukhulu. Weza kuye, wathi: “Nkosi, akukhathali na ngokuba udade wethu endishiyile ndilungiselela ndedwa? Mxelele ke andincede.”

⁴¹Kodwa iNkosi yaphendula yathi kuye: “Marta, Marta, uxhalabile, ukhathazeke ngezinto ezininzi, ⁴²kodwa inye into efunekayo. UMariya unyule isabelo esilungileyo; asiyi kuthatyathwa kuye.”
