Luka 8
1Kwathi ngasemuva wahamba imizi ngemizi nemizana, eshumayela ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu, nabayishumi nambili babenaye.
2Nabesifazane abathile, ababephulukiswe kubomoya ababi nasezifweni, uMariya othiwa Magdalena, okwaphuma kuye amademoni ayisikhombisa.
3NoJowana umkaKhuza inceku kaHerode, noSusana, nabanye abaningi, ababemkhonza ngempahla yabo.
4Kwasekubuthene ixuku elikhulu, leza kuye livela emizini yonke, wakhuluma ngomfanekiso.
5Kwaphuma umhlwanyeli ukuyohlwanyela imbewu yakhe; yanyathelwa, izinyoni zezulu zayidla zayidla.
6Enye yawela edwaleni; kwathi nje imila yabuna, ngoba yayintula umswakama.
7Enye yawela emeveni; ameva akhula kanye nayo, ayiminyanisa.
8Enye yawela emhlabathini omuhle, yamila, yathela ngekhulu. Esetshilo lezizinto wamemeza wathi: Onezindlebe zokuzwa makezwe.
9Abafundi bakhe basebembuza besithi: Ungaba uyini lumfanekiso?
10Wathi: “Niphiwe nina ukwazi izimfihlakalo zombuso kaNkulunkulu, kepha kwabanye ngemifanekiso; ukuze bebona bangaboni, lokuzwa bangaqedisisi.
11Umfanekiso yilokhu: Imbewu iyizwi likaNkulunkulu.
12Abasendleleni yilabo abezwayo; bese kufika uSathane, alisuse izwi ezinhliziyweni zabo, funa bakholwe, basindiswe.
13Labasedwalani yilabo abathi, lapho belizwa, balamukele izwi ngokuthokoza; kepha laba kabanampande, abakholwa isikhashana, kuthi ngesikhathi sokulingwa bawa.
14Leyo eyawela emeveni yilabo abathi sebezwile, bahambe baminyaniswe yizinkathazo nengcebo nezinjabulo zalokhukuphila, bangathelisithelo.
15Kodwa esemhlabathini omuhle, yilabo abathi belizwile izwi, baligcine ngenhliziyo enhle nelungileyo, bathele izithelo ngokubekezela.
16Akakho othi esokhela isibani, asimboze ngesitsha, noma asibeke ngaphansi kombhede; kodwa ulubeka othini lwesibane, ukuze abangenayo babone ukukhanya.
17Ngokuba akukho okusithekile okungayikubonakaliswa; futhi okufihliweyo okungayikwaziwa nokuphumela obala.
18Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi nizwa kanjani, ngokuba yilowo nalowo onakho uyakuphiwa; futhi lowo ongenakho uyothathwa kuye ngisho nalokho angathi unakho.
19Kwase kufika kuye unina nabafowabo, kepha behluleka ukufinyelela kuye ngenxa yesixuku.
20Wabikelwa ukuthi: “Unyoko nabafowenu bemi ngaphandle befuna ukukubona.
21Wasephendula wathi kubo: Umama labafowethu yilaba abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu balenze.
22Kwathi ngolunye usuku wangena emkhunjini kanye nabafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: “Asiwele siye ngaphesheya kolwandle. Base bephuma.
23Kwathi besahamba ngomkhumbi walala ubuthongo; basebegcwaliswa ngamanzi, baba sengozini.
24Basebesondela bamvusa, besithi: Nkosi, nkosi, siyabhubha. Wasevuka, wawukhuza umoya lokuzanyaza kwamanzi;
25Wathi kubo: “Kuphi ukukholwa kwenu na? Besaba bamangala, bathi omunye komunye: “Umuntu onjani lo? ngoba uyala ngisho imimoya namanzi, futhi kuyamlalela.
26Bafika ezweni lamaGadara, elibhekene neGalile.
27Esephumele emhlabathini, kwamhlangabeza indoda ethile evela emzini, eyayinamademoni isikhathi eside, ingagqoki, ingahlali endlini, kodwa emathuneni.
28Yathi imbona uJesu, yamemeza yawa phansi phambi kwakhe, yathi ngezwi elikhulu: “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? ngiyakuncenga, ungangihluphi.
29(Ngokuba wayeyalile umoya ongcolileyo ukuba uphume kumuntu, ngokuba wawumbambe kaningi, eboshiwe ngamaketanga nangamaketanga, wazigqabula izibopho, waqhutshelwa nguSathane ehlane.)
30UJesu wambuza wathi: “Ungubani igama lakho na? Wathi: “ILegiyoni, ngokuba amademoni amaningi abengene kuye.
31Zamncenga ukuthi angazilaya ukuthi ziphumele ekujuleni.
32Kwakukhona lapho umhlambi wezingulube eziningi ziklabile entabeni, zamcela ukuba azivumele zingene kuzo. Futhi wabavumela.
33Khona aphuma amademoni kumuntu, angena ezingulubeni;
34Kwathi ababezalusa bebona okwenzekileyo, babaleka, babika emzini nasemaphandleni.
35Base bephuma ukuyobona okwenzekileyo; bafika kuJesu, bamfumana umuntu okwakuphume kuye amademoni ehlezi ngasezinyaweni zikaJesu embethe, esangulukile;
36Lababekubonile babatshela ukuthi okhwelwe ngamadimoni usiliswe njani.
37Isixuku sonke sesifunda samaGadara samncenga ukuba amuke kubo; ngoba babebanjwe ngukwesaba okukhulu; wasekhwela emkhunjini, wabuya.
38Kodwa indoda okwakuphume kuyo amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi abe laye; kodwa uJesu wayimukisa, esithi.
39Buyela endlini yakho, ulandise ukuthi kungakanani uNkulunkulu akwenzele khona. Wamuka, washumayela emzini wonke ukuthi kungakanani uJesu akwenzile kuye.
40Kwathi ekubuyeni kukaJesu, isixuku samamukela ngokuthokoza, ngokuba bonke babemlindele.
41Bheka, kwafika indoda, nguJayiru igama layo, ingumphathi wesinagoge, yaziphonsa phansi ngasezinyaweni zikaJesu, yamncenga ukuba angene endlini yayo.
42Ngoba wayelendodakazi eyodwa, eyayileminyaka elitshumi lambili, yona isigulela ukufa. Kepha ekuhambeni kwakhe abantu bamminyezela.
43Owesifazana owayelomopho iminyaka elitshumi lambili, esechithe konke abephila ngakho ezinyangeni, engelakwelatshwa lamunye.
44Weza emva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wengubo yakhe; kwanqamuka masinyane ukopha kwakhe.
45UJesu wasesithi: Ngubani ongithintileyo? Kwathi bonke bephika, uPetro lababelaye bathi: Nkosi, ixuku likucindezele, likucindezele, uthi: Ngubani ongithintileyo?
46UJesu wathi: “Ukhona ongithintileyo, ngokuba mina ngibonile ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.
47Owesifazane ebona ukuthi akacashile, weza ethuthumela, wawa phansi phambi kwakhe, walandisa phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi ubemthintile ngani, nokuthi usinde kanjani masinyane.
48Wathi kuye: “Yima isibindi, ndodakazi, ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.
49Esakhuluma, kwafika omunye evela kwamphathi wesinagoge, wathi kuye: “Indodakazi yakho isifile; ningamkhathazi uMfundisi.
50Kepha uJesu ekuzwa, wamphendula wathi: “Ungesabi, kholwa kuphela, khona uzakusindiswa.
51Esengenile endlini, kavumelanga muntu ukuthi angene, ngaphandle kukaPetro, loJakobe, loJohane, loyise wentombazana, lonina.
52Bakhala bonke, beyililela, kepha wathi: “Ningakhali; kafile, kodwa ulele.
53Bamhleka usulu, bazi ukuthi ifile.
54Wayesebakhiphela phandle bonke, wayibamba ngesandla, wabiza, wathi: “Ntombazana, vuka!
55Wabuya umoya wayo, yavuka masinyane;
56Abazali bayo bamangala, kepha wabayala ukuba bangatsheli muntu okwenzekileyo.
