ULuka 14 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

14 ¹Ngenye isabatha, akuya kudla endlwini yomnye weenkokeli zabaFarisi, babemgqala. ²Nanko ke phambi kwakhe indoda eyayidumbe umzimba ngamanzi.

³Wathi uYesu kubaqondisimthetho nabaFarisi: “Kuvumelekile na ukuphilisa ngesabatha, kusini na?”

⁴Kodwa bathi tu. Wayibamba ke loo ndoda, wayiphilisa, wayindulula.

⁵Wandula wathi kubo: “Nguwuphi na kuni onokuthi, xa unyana wakhe nokuba yinkabi yakhe iwile equleni ngomhla wesabatha, angayikhupheli kwaoko?”

⁶Baye bengenanto bayiphendulayo kule nto.

⁷Wathi akuqaphela indlela ababezinyulela ngayo abamenywa iindawo zobukhulu, wababalisela lo mzekeliso, esithi:

⁸“Xa othile ekumema emtshatweni, uze ungahlali endaweni yobukhulu, hleze kubekho obekekileyo ngaphezu kwakho omenyiweyo; ⁹aze lowo unimemileyo nobabini afike athi kuwe: ‘Mnike lo mntu indawo yakho,’ uze ngelo xa ngehlazo uye kuhlala endaweni esezantsi. ¹⁰Kodwa xa umenyiwe, hamba uye kuhlala endaweni esezantsi, ukuze uthi akufika onimemileyo athi kuwe: ‘Sihlobo, nyuka uye phezulu.’ Woba sewuzukile ngelo xa phambi kwabo bonke ohleli nabo esithebeni. ¹¹Kuba bonke abaziphakamisayo baya kuthotywa, baze abo bazithobayo baphakanyiswe.”

¹²Wandula wathi kulowo wayemmemile: “Xa usenza isidlo sasemini nokuba sasemrhozo, uze ungabameli abahlobo bakho, nokuba ngabazalwana bakho, nokuba zizizalwana zakho, nokuba ngabamelwane bakho abazizityebi; hleze nabo bakumeme, kuze kubuyiselwe kuwe. ¹³Kodwa xa usenza isidlo esikhulu, mema amahlwempu, iziqhwala, iziqhwala zeenyawo, iimfama; ¹⁴woba usikelelekile ke, kuba bengenanto banganokukubuyekeza ngayo; uya kubuyekezwa eluvukweni lwamalungisa.”

Isidlo Esikhulu sikaBawo wethu

¹⁵Akuva oku omnye wabo babehleli naye esithebeni, wathi kuye: “Unoyolo lowo uya kudla isidlo ebukumkanini bukaBawo wethu!”

¹⁶Wathi ke uYesu kuye: “Kwakukho indoda ethile eyenza isidlo esikhulu, yamema abaninzi.

¹⁷Yathi, xa selifikile ixesha lesidlo, yathuma umkhonzi wayo ukuba aye kuthi kwabamenyiweyo: ‘Yizani, ngokuba konke sekulungile.’ ¹⁸Kodwa baqala bonke ngamnye ukuzilandulela. Owokuqala wathi kuye: ‘Ndithenge intsimi, kufuneka ndiye kuyibona; ndiyakukhunga, undixolele.’

¹⁹Omnye wathi: ‘Ndithenge iinkabi zeenkomo ezithandathu ezibini ngambini, ndisaya kuzivavanya; ndiyakukhunga, undixolele.’

²⁰Omnye wathi: ‘Ndisandul' ukuzeka umfazi, ngenxa yoko andinakuza.’

²¹Waza umkhonzi wabuya, wayixelela loo nto inkosi yakhe. Yaza yacaphuka inkosi yaloo ndlu, yathi kumkhonzi wayo: ‘Phuma ngokukhawuleza uye ezitratweni nakwiindledlana zomzi, uze namahlwempu, neziqhwala, neemfama, neziqhwala zeenyawo.’

²²Wathi umkhonzi: ‘Nkosi, kwenziwe oko ukuwisele umthetho, kuseselekho indawo.’

²³Yaza inkosi yathi kumkhonzi: ‘Phuma uye ezindleleni nasemazibukweni, ubanyanzele bangene, ukuze izale indlu yam. ²⁴Kuba ndithi kuni, akukho namnye kwabo babemenyiwe oya kusingcamla isidlo sam.’”

Ixabiso lokuLandela uYesu

²⁵Zaye zihamba naye izihlwele ezikhulu; wajika wathi kuzo:

²⁶“Ukuba ubani uza kum, angamthiyi uyise nonina, nomfazi wakhe, nabantwana bakhe, nabazalwana bakhe, noodade wabo, ewe, kwanobomi bakhe, akanako ukuba ngumfundi wam. ^a a v26 Ukuthiya apha kuyindlela yesiHebhere yokuthetha ethetha ukuthanda ngokuncinane kakhulu ngokuthelekisa — uYesu akayaleli ukuba kubekho ubutshaba kwiintsapho, koko uthando kuye oludlula zonke ezinye izibophelelo. ²⁷Nalowo ungawuthwaliyo umnqamlezo wakhe aze andilandele, akanako ukuba ngumfundi wam. ²⁸Thi ke, omnye kuni ufuna ukwakha inqaba ende. Akayi kuqala na ahlale phantsi abale indleko, ukuba ubona ukuba unako na ukuyigqiba? ²⁹Hleze kuthi, akuba ewubekile umsekelo waza akaba nako ukuyigqiba, baqale ukumhleka bonke abayibonayo, ³⁰besithi: ‘Lo mntu waqala ukwakha, waza akaba nako ukugqiba.’ ³¹Nokuba ngukumkani oza kuya kulwa nomnye ukumkani. Akayi kuqala na ahlale phantsi acamngce ukuba unako na ngamawaka alishumi ukuhlangabeza lowo uza kuye enamawaka angamashumi mabini? ³²Ukuba akanako, uthumela abathunywa esekude lowo, acele uxolo. ³³Kwangokunjalo, nabani na kuni ongazilahliyo zonke izinto anazo, akanako ukuba ngumfundi wam.

³⁴“Ityuwa intle; kodwa ukuba ityuwa ithe yaba nasongo, yothiwani na ukuvakaliswa? ³⁵Ayisalungele namhlaba, nasemfumbeni yomgquba; iyalahlwa phandle. Lowo uneendlebe zokuva makeve.”
