Chapter # Verse # Verse Detail
11Ekuqalekeni ube ekho uLizwi, waye uLizwi ekuye uThixo, waye uLizwi enguThixo.
12Yena lowo ebekho ekuqalekeni kuThixo.
13Izinto zonke zabakho ngaye; engekho yena, akubangakho nanye into ethe yabakho.
14Kuye kwakukho ubomi, baye ubomi obo bulukhanyiselo lwabantu.
15Ukhanyiso ke olo lwabonakala ebumnyameni, basuka ubumnyama abaluqiqa.
16Kwakho mntu uthunyiweyo evela kuThixo, ugama linguYohane.
17Lowo weza kuba lingqina, ukuze angqine ngalo ukhanyiso, ukuze bonke bakholwe ngaye.
18Yena lowo ubengelulo ukhanyiso; weza kungqina ngalo ukhanyiso.
19Waye ke yena elukhanyiso oluyinyaniso, olubakhanyiselayo abantu bonke, esiza ehlabathini.
110Ube esehlabathini ke; ihlabathi labakho ngaye, ihlabathi alimazanga.
111Weza kokwakhe, baza abakhe abamvuma.
112Ke bonke abamamkelayo wabanika igunya lokuba babe ngabantwana bakaThixo, abo ke bakholwayo kwigama lakhe;
113abangazalwanga ngagazi, nangakuthanda kwanyama, nangakuthanda kwandoda; bazalwa nguThixo.
114ULizwi waba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu, sabubona ubuqaqawuli bakhe, ubuqaqawuli kanye bowokuphela kwamzeleyo uYise, ezele lubabalo nayinyaniso.
115Uthi uYohane angqine ngaye, adanduluke esithi, Ubenguye lo bendithetha yena, ndisithi, Lowo uzayo emva kwam, usuke waba phambi kwam, ngokuba waye etanci kum.
116Enzalisekweni yakhe thina sonke samkela kwaubabalo phezu kobabalo.
117Ngokuba umthetho wawiswa ngoMoses, lwabakho lona ubabalo nenyaniso ngoYesu Kristu.
118Akukho namnye wakha wambona uThixo; uNyana okuphela kwamzeleyo, lowo usesifubeni sikaYise, nguye ocacise oko.
119Nabu ke ubungqina bukaYohane, oko amaYuda athuma ababingeleli nabaLevi, bephuma eYerusalem, ukuze bambuze besithi, Wena ungubani na?
120Wavuma akakhanyela, wavuma esithi, Andinguye mna uKristu.
121Bambuza, besithi, Untoni na ke? UnguEliya na? Athi, Andinguye. Unguye na umprofeti lowo? Wathi ukuphendula, Hayi.
122Bathi ngoko kuye, Ungubani na ke? ukuze sibaphendule abo basithumileyo. Uthini na wena ngawe ngokwakho?
123Wathi, Mna ndililizwi lodandulukayo entlango, lisithi, Yityenenezeni indlela yeNkosi, njengoko watshoyo uIsaya umprofeti.
124Baye abo babethunyiwe bengabakubo abaFarisi.
125Bambuza bathi kuye, Ubhaptizelani na phofu, ukuba wena akunguye uKristu, noEliya, nomprofeti lowo?
126Wabaphendula uYohane, esithi, Mna ndibhaptiza ngamanzi; ke phakathi kwenu kumi eningamaziyo nina.
127Yena ngothe, esiza emva kwam nje, wesuka waba phambi kwam, endingafanelekileyo mna ukuba ndinyobulule umtya wembadada yakhe.
128Ezi zinto zenzeka eBhetabhara, phesheya kweYordan, apho uYohane wayebhaptiza khona.
129Ngengomso uYohane umbona uYesu esiza kuye, athi, Nantso iMvana kaThixo, ethwala isuse isono sehlabathi.
130Nguye lo ndathi ngaye mna, Emva kwam kuza indoda, esuke yaba phambi, kwam; ngokuba yayitanci kum.
131Bendingayazi nam; le nto ndeza mna, ndibhaptiza ngamanzi, kukuze ibonakalaliswe kuSirayeli.
132Wangqina uYohane, esithi, Ndimbonile uMoya, esihla njengehobe, ephuma ezulwini, wahlala phezu kwakhe.
133Bendingamazi nam; owandithumayo ukubhaptiza ngamanzi, nguye owathi kum, Othe wambona uMoya esihla ahlale phezu kwakhe, nguye lowo ubhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
134Nam ndibonile, ndingqinile, ukuba lo nguye uNyana kaThixo.
135Ngengomso ubuye wema uYohane nababini kubafundi bakhe;
136ondele kuYesu ehamba, uthi, Nantso iMvana kaThixo.
137Bamva ethetha abafundi ababini, bamlandela uYesu.
138Ke kaloku ujikile uYesu, ababone belandela, athi kubo, Nifuna ntoni na? Bathi ke bona kuye, Rabhi (oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, mfundisi), uhlala phi na?
139Athi kubo, Yizani nibone. Beza, babona ke apho ahlala khona; bahlala naye loo mini; laye ke ilixa lingathi leleshumi.
140YayinguAndreya, umzalwana kaSimon Petros, omnye wabo babini, babeve kuYohane, bamlandela.
141Yena ufumana kuqala owakhe umzalwana, uSimon, athi kuye, Simfumene uMesiya (oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, uKristu).
142Wamsa kuYesu; uthe ke uYesu wondela kuye, wathi, Wena unguSimon, unyana kaYona; kuya kuthiwa unguKefas (oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, unguPetros).
143Ngengomso uYesu wafuna ukuphuma aye kwelaseGalili; ufumana uFilipu, athi kuye, Ndilandele.
144Ke kaloku uFilipu ebengowaseBhetesayida, womzi wakuloAndreya noPetros.
145UFilipu ufumana uNataniyeli, athi kuye, Lowo uMoses wabhala ngaye emthethweni, kwanabaprofeti, simfumene, uYesu unyana kaYosefu, lowo waseNazarete.
146Wathi uNataniyeli kuye, Inako na into elungileyo ukuphuma eNazarete? Athi uFilipu kuye, Yiza ubone.
147UYesu wambona uNataniyeli esiza kuye, athi ngaye, Nanko umSirayeli inyaniso, ekungekho nkohliso kuye.
148Athi uNataniyeli kuye, Undazi ngani na? Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Phambi kokuba uFilipu akubize, uphantsi komkhiwane, ndandikubona.
149Aphendule uNataniyeli athi kuye, Rabhi, wena unguye uNyana kaThixo, wena unguye uKumkani kaSirayeli.
150Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Ngokuba ndithe kuwe, Ndandikubona uphantsi komkhiwane, uyakholwa na? Uya kubona izinto ezingaphezulu kwezo.
151Athi kuye, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Emveni koku niya kulibona izulu livulekile, nezithunywa zikaThixo zinyuka zisihla phezu koNyana woMntu.
21Kuthe ngomhla wesithathu, kwabakho umsitho eKana yelaseGalili; waye unina kaYesu ekhona.
22Wamenyelwa ke noYesu kwanabafundi bakhe emsithweni lowo.
23Kuthe ke, bakuphelelwa yiwayini, wathi unina kaYesu kuye, Abanawayini.
24Uthi uYesu kuye, Yintoni na enam nawe, mfazi? Alikafiki ilixa lam.
25Athi unina kubalungiseleli, Asukuba ekuthetha kuni, kwenzeni.
26Kwakumi khona ke imiphanda yamatye imithandathu, ngokwentlambululo yamaYuda, engena ngaminye iibhate ezimbini nantathu.
27Athi kubo uYesu, Yizaliseni imiphanda ngamanzi. Bayizalisa ke, yada yee cike.
28Athi kubo, Yikhani ngoku, nise kwinjoli. Besa ke.
29Ke kaloku, yakuweva injoli amanzi abenziwe iwayini (yayingayazi apho ivela khona; kodwa abalungiseleli ababewakhile amanzi babesazi), yasuka injoli yabiza umyeni.
210Yathi kuye, Wonke umntu ubeka kuqala iwayini emnandi, aze xa bathe basela bakholisa, andule ukubeka enganeno kwaleyo; wena uyibandezile iwayini emnandi, kwada kwangoku.
211Oku kuqaleka kwemiqondiso wakwenza uYesu eKana yelaseGalili, walubonakalalisa Uzuko lwakhe; bakholwa kuye abafundi bakhe.
212Emveni koko wehla waya eKapernahum, yena nonina, nabazalwana bakhe, nabafundi bakhe; bahlala khona iintsuku ezingeninzi.
213Yayikufuphi ke ipasika yamaYuda; wenyuka uYesu waya eYerusalem.
214Wabafumana etempileni ababethengisa ngeenkomo nezimvu namahobe, nabananisa ngemali behleli.
215Wenza iziniya ngemizi, wabakhupha bonke etempileni, kwanezimvu neenkomo; wayiphalaza imali yabananisi, wazibhukuqa neetafile;
216wathi nakwabo bathengisa ngamahobe, Ezi zinto zisuseni apha; musani ukuyenza indlu kaBawo indlu yokuthengisela.
217Bakhumbula ke abafundi bakhe, ukuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ukuzondelela indlu yakho kundidlile kanye.
218Aphendula ke ngoko amaYuda, athi kuye, Usibonisa mqondiso mni na, uzenza nje ezi zinto?
219Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Yichitheni le tempile, mna ke ndiya kuyivusa ngeentsuku ezintathu.
220Athi ke ngoko amaYuda, Yayiminyaka imashumi mane anesithandathu nje isakhiwa le tempile, ke wena woyivusa ngeentsuku ezintathu na?
221Yena ke wayethetha ngetempile yomzimba wakhe.
222Ke ngoko, xenikweni wavukayo kwabafileyo, bakhumbula abafundi bakhe, ukuba ebekuthethile oku kubo, bakholwa sisibhalo nalilizwi awalithethayo uYesu.
223Ke kaloku, akubon’ ukuba useYerusalem epasikeni, emthendelekweni, into eninzi yakholwa kulo igama lakhe, ibona imiqondiso yakhe abeyenza.
224Ke yena uYesu akaziyekelanga kubo, ngenxa yokuba ebazi bonke;
225nangokuba bekungafuneki kuye, ukuba kungqine bani ngaye umntu, kuba ubekwazi yena okungaphakathi komntu.
31Kwaye kukho ke umntu wakubaFarisi, ogama linguNikodemo, umphathi wamaYuda.
32Lowo weza kuYesu ebusuku, wathi kuye, Rabhi, siyazi ukuba ungumfundisi ovela kuThixo; kuba akukho namnye unako ukuyenza le miqondiso uyenzayo wena, ukuba uThixo akanaye.
33Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Ukuba akathanga umntu azalwe ngokutsha, akanakububona ubukumkani bukaThixo.
34Uthi uNikodemo kuye, Angathini na umntu ukuzalwa emdala? Angaba nako yini na ukungena okwesibini esizalweni sonina azalwe?
35Waphendula uYesu wathi, Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Ukuba umntu akathanga azalwe ngamanzi nanguMoya, akanakungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo.
36Okuzelwe yinyama kuyinyama, nokuzelwe nguMoya kungumoya.
37Musa ukumangaliswa kukuba ndithe kuwe, Nimelwe kukuthi nizalwe ngokutsha.
38Umoya uphepheza apho uthanda khona, uze usive isandi sawo, kodwa ungawazi apho uvela khona, nalapho usinga khona: bakwanjalo bonke abazelwe nguMoya.
39Waphendula uNikodemo wathi kuye, Zingathini na ezi zinto ukuba nokubakho?
310Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Wena, ungumfundisi nje wakwaSirayeli, akuzazi na ezi zinto?
311Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Sithetha esikwaziyo, singqine esikubonileyo; nisuke ningabamkeli ubungqina bethu.
312Ukuba ndinixelele izinto ezisemhlabeni, naza anakholwa, nothini na ukukholwa, ukuba ndithe ndanixelela izinto ezisemazulwini?
313Akukho namnye unyukileyo waya emazulwini, ngulowo yedwa wehla ephuma emazulwini, uNyana woMntu, lowo usemazulwini.
314Njengokuba ke uMoses wayiphakamisayo inyoka entlango, umelwe kukuphakanyiswa ngokunjalo uNyana woMntu;
315ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, koko babe nobomi obungunaphakade.
316Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi, ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, koko babe nobomi obungunaphakade.
317Kuba uThixo akamthumanga uNyana wakhe ehlabathini, ukuze aligwebe ihlabathi; wamthuma ukuze ihlabathi lisindiswe ngaye.
318Lowo ukholwayo kuye, akagwetywa; ke lowo ungakholwayo, uselegwetyiwe, ngokuba engakholwanga kwigana loNyana okuphela kwamzeleyo uThixo.
319Ke kaloku, umgwebo nguwo lo, ukuba ukhanyiso lufikile ehlabathini, baza abantu bathanda ubumnyama ngaphezu kokhanyiso; kuba imisebenzi yabo ingendawo.
320Kuba bonke abenza okubi, bayaluthiya ukhanyiso, bangezi elukhanyisweni, ukuze imisebenzi yabo ingohlwaywa.
321Ke lowo uyenzayo inyaniso uyeza elukhanyisweni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ibonakalaliswe; ngokuba isetyenzelwe kuThixo.
322Emveni kwezi zinto, weza uYesu nabafundi bakhe emhlabeni wakwaYuda; wakha walibala khona apho nabo; wabhaptiza.
323Waye ke noYohane ebhaptiza e-Enon, kufuphi neSalem, ngokuba amanzi abemaninzi khona apho; babesiza ke babhaptizwe.
324Kuba ebengekaphoswa entolongweni uYohane.
325Kwabakho ke imbuzwano kubafundi bakaYohane namaYuda ngokuhlanjululwa.
326Beza kuYohane, bathi kuye, Rabhi, lowa wayenawe phesheya kweYordan, umngqinela, yabona, yena uyabhaptiza; beza kuye ke bonke.
327Waphendula uYohane wathi, Akanakwamkela nto umntu, engayinikwanga ivela emazulwini.
328Nani ngokwenu niyandingqinela ukuba ndathi, Andinguye uKristu mna; ndathi, Ndithunyiwe phambi kwakhe.
329Lowo unomtshakazi ngumyeni; isihlobo ke somyeni, esimiyo simve, sivuya kunene ngenxa yezwi lomyeni; ngoko olu luvuyo lwam luzalisekile.
330Yena umelwe kukuthi ande, ndinciphe ke mna.
331Lowo uvela phezulu ungaphezu kwabo bonke; lowo uphuma emhlabeni ungowasemhlabeni, ethetha okwasemhlabeni. Lowo ungowasemazulwini ungaphezu kwabo bonke;
332akubonileyo ke wakuva, uyakungqina oko; akukho bani ubamkelayo ubungqina bakhe.
333Lowo ubamkeleyo ubungqina bakhe, utywine waqinisela ukuthi, uThixo uyinyaniso;
334kuba lowo uthunywe nguThixo, uthetha amazwi kaThixo; kuba uThixo akamniki uMoya ngomlinganiselo.
335UYise uyamthanda uNyana; uzinikele zonke izinto esandleni sakhe.
336Lowo ukholwayo kuNyana, unobomi obungunaphakade; ke lowo ungamviyo uNyana, akayi kubona bomi; ingqumbo kaThixo ihleli phezu kwakhe.
41Ithe ngoko iNkosi, yakwazi ukuba abaFarisi bavile ukuba uYesu ugqithisile kuYohane ngokwenza nokubhaptiza abafundi
42(nakubeni ke uYesu ngokwakhe ebengabhaptizi, bekubhaptiza abafundi bakhe),
43yalishiya yona elakwaYuda, yabuya yaya kwelaseGalili.
44Ibimelwe ke kukuthi icande kwela maSamariya.
45Ifike ke emzini welamaSamariya ekuthiwa yiSikare, kufuphi nomhlaba awathi uYakobi wawunika uYosefu unyana wakhe.
46Ke kaloku umthombo kaYakobi ubukhona. Uthe ke ngoko uYesu, ebulalekile kukuhamba, wahlala enjalo phezu komthombo; ilixa ngathi belilelesithandathu.
47Kufika intokazi yelamaSamariya, isiza kukha amanzi, athi uYesu kuyo, Ndiphe ndisele.
48(Kuba abafundi bakhe bebemke baya kuthenga ukudla emzini apho.)
49Ithi ngoko intokazi engumSamariyakazi kuye, Uthini na wena, ungumYuda nje, ukucela kum into eselwayo, ndingumSamariyakazi nje? Kuba akanabudlelane amaYuda namaSamariya.
410Waphendula uYesu wathi kuyo, Ukuba ubusazi isipho sikaThixo, nokuba ngubani na lo uthi kuwe, Ndiphe ndisele: unge ucele kuye wena, wakupha amanzi aphilileyo.
411Ithi intokazi kuye, Nkosi, akunanto yakukha, nequla linzulu; uwazuza phi na ke amanzi aphilileyo lawo?
412Wena umkhulu yini na kunobawo wethu uYakobi, owasinikayo iqula eli, wayesela kulo yena, nabantwana bakhe, nemfuyo yakhe?
413Waphendula uYesu wathi kuyo, Bonke abasela kula manzi, baya kubuya banxanwe;
414ke yena othe wasela kuwo amanzi, endiya kumpha wona mna, akasayi kuza anxanwe naphakade; aya kusuka amanzi, endiya kumpha wona, abe ngumthombo kuye wamanzi ampompozela ebomini obungunaphakade.
415Ithi intokazi kuye, Nkosi, ndiphe loo manzi, ukuze ndinganxanwa, ndingezi nokuza kukha apha.
416Athi uYesu kuyo, Hamba uye kubiza indoda yakho, uze apha.
417Yaphendula intokazi yathi, Andinandoda. Athi uYesu kuyo, Ulungisile ukuthi, Andinandoda;
418kuba ubunamadoda amahlanu; onayo ngoku asindoda yakho, unyanisile ukutsho.
419Ithi intokazi kuye, Nkosi, ndiyabona ukuba ungumprofeti wena.
420Oobawo bethu babenqula kule ntaba; nina ke nithi iseYerusalem indawo apho abantu bamelwe kukunqula khona.
421Athi uYesu kuyo, Ntokazindini, kholwa ndim, ukuba kuza ilixa, eningasayi kuthi nakule ntaba, naseYerusalem, nimnqule uBawo.
422Nina ninqula eningakwaziyo; thina sinqula esikwaziyo; ngokuba usindiso luphuma kumaYuda.
423Kodwa kuza ilixa, nangoku selikho, xa abanquli abayinyaniso baya kumnqula uBawo ngoMoya nangenyaniso; kuba uBawo ufuna abanjalo ukumnqula.
424UThixo unguMoya; abo ke bamnqulayo bamelwe kukumnqula ngoMoya nangenyaniso.
425Ithi intokazi kuye, Ndiyazi ukuba uMesiya uyeza, ekuthiwa nguKristu; xa athe weza yena, uya kusityela izinto zonke.
426Athi uYesu kuyo, Mna ndithethayo nawe ndinguye.
427Kwathi kwangoko bafika abafundi bakhe, bamangaliswa kukuba athethe nomntu oyinkazana; noko ke akubangakho namnye owathi. Ufuna ntoni na? nowathi, Yini na ukuba uthethe nayo?
428Yawushiya ngoko umphanda wayo intokazi, yemka yaya ekhaya; ithi ebantwini,
429Yizani, nibone umntu ondixelele izinto zonke endakha ndazenza; lo akangebi nguye uKristu yini na?
430Baphuma ke ekhaya, baye besiza kuye.
431Ke kaloku, kweso sithuba abafundi babemthandaza, besithi, Rabhi, yidla.
432Uthe ke yena kubo, Mna ndinokudla endikudlayo, eningakwaziyo nina.
433Babethetha bodwa ngoko abafundi, besithi, Ingaba kukho omziseleyo na ukudla?
434Athi uYesu kubo, Okwam ukudla kukuba ndenze ukuthanda kowandithumayo, ndiwufeze umsebenzi wakhe.
435Anitsho na nina ukuthi, Iinyanga zisene, kuze kufike ukuvuna? Yabonani, ndithi kuni, Waphakamiseni amehlo enu, niwakhangele amasimi; ngokuba aselemhlophe ukuba kuvunwe.
436Novunayo wamkela umvuzo, abuthele iziqhamo ebomini obungunaphakade, ukuze nalowo uhlwayelayo avuye, kunye nalowo uvunayo.
437Kuba likule nto ilizwi eliyinyaniso, eli lithi, Omnye uyahlwayela, nomnye avune.
438Mna ndanithuma ukuvuna oko ningabulalekanga kuko nina; abanye babulalekile, naza nangena nina ekubulalekeni kwabo.
439Ke kaloku, kwakholwa kuye into eninzi yamaSamariya kuloo mzi, ngenxa yelizwi lentokazi leyo, yangqinayo yathi, Undityele izinto zonke endakha ndazenza.
440Akufika ngoko kuye amaSamariya, amcela ukuba ahlale nawo; wahlala khona ke imihla emibini.
441Into eninzi yakholwa ngakumbi ngenxa yelizwi lakhe.
442Kanjalo babesithi kwintokazi leyo, Asisakholwa ngenxa yokuthetha kwakho, kuba sizivele thina ngokwethu, sazi ukuba, inyaniso, lo unguye uMsindisi wehlabathi, uKristu.
443Ke kaloku, emveni kwemihla emibini leyo, waphuma khona, wemka waya kwelaseGalili.
444Kuba uYesu ngokwakhe wangqina, ukuba umprofeti akanambeko kowabo.
445Xenikweni ngoko wafikayo kwelaseGalili, bamamkela abaseGalili ababezibonile zonke izinto awazenzayo eYerusalem emthendelekweni; kuba babeyile nabo emthendelekweni.
446Wabuya ngoko weza uYesu eKana yelaseGalili, apho amanzi ebewenze iwayini. Kwaye kukho igosa lakomkhulu elithile, elinyana wayesifa eKapernahum.
447Lithe lakuva lona ukuba uYesu uphumile kwaYuda, wafika kwelaseGalili, laya kuye, lamcela ukuba ehle amphilise unyana walo, kuba ebeza kubhubha.
448Wathi ngoko uYesu kulo, Ukuba anithanga nibone imiqondiso nemimangaliso, anisayi kukha nikholwe.
449Lithi kuye igosa lakomkhulu, Nkosi, yihla, engekabhubhi umntwana wam.
450Athi uYesu kulo, Hamba uhambe; unyana wakho uhleli. Wakholwa umntu lowo lilizwi awalithethayo uYesu kuye, wahamba ke.
451Ke kaloku, akubon’ ukuba uselesihla, izicaka zakhe zamhlangabeza, zambikela zisithi, Umntwana wakho uhleli.
452Wabuza ngoko kuzo ilixa aqale ukuchacha ngalo; zathi kuye, Izolo, ngelixa lesixhenxe, yamyeka icesina.
453Wazi ngoko uyise, ukuba bekukwangelo lixa abethe ngalo uYesu kuye, Unyana wakho uhleli; wakholwa, yena nendlu yakhe iphela.
454Lo mqondiso ke wesibini wawenza uYesu, eselephumile kwelakwaYuda, weza kwelaseGalili.
51Emveni kwezi zinto, kwaye kukho umthendeleko wamaYuda, wenyuka uYesu waya eYerusalem.
52Ke kaloku kukho eYerusalem apho, ngakwelezimvu isango, ichibi, ekuthiwa ukubizwa yiBhetesda ngesiHebhere, lineevaranda ezintlanu.
53Kwakulele kuzo inkitha eninzi yemilwelwe: iimfama, iziqhwala, abome umzimba, belinde ukuzanyazanyiswa kwamanzi.
54Kuba isithunywa sezulu ngaxesha lithile besisihla, singene echibini, siwagxobhagxobhe amanzi; lowo ngoko ubethe angene tanci emva kokugxojwagxojwa kwamanzi, ubephila nakusiphi na isifo abebanjwe siso.
55Ke kaloku, bekukho mntu uthile apho, ubeminyaka imashumi mathathu anesibhozo engumlwelwe.
56UYesu embona lowo elele, esazi ukuba uselenexesha elikhulu enjalo, uthi kuye, Uyafuna na ukuba uphile?
57Waphendula umlwelwe wathi, Nkosi, andinamntu wokuthi, xa athe agxojwagxojwa amanzi, andiphose echibini. Kuthi ke, ndakubon’ ukuba mna ndiyaya, ndiphangelwe ngomnye ukuhla.
58Athi uYesu kuye, Vuka, uthabathe ukhuko lwakho, uhambe.
59Usuke kwaoko waphila umntu, waluthabatha ukhuko lwakhe, wahamba. Ke kaloku kwakuyisabatha loo mini.
510Ayesithi ke amaYuda kophilisiweyo, Yisabatha; akuvumelekile ukuba uthwale ukhuko lwakho.
511Wawaphendula wathi, Owandiphilisayo, nguye owathi kum, Thabatha ukhuko lwakho, uhambe.
512Ambuza ngoko athi, Ngubani na yena loo mntu uthe kuwe, Thabatha ukhuko lwakho, uhambe?
513Ke kaloku, owaphiliswayo ebengazi ukuba ngubani na; kuba uYesu wathi shwaka, kwakubon’ ukuba kukho izihlwele kuloo ndawo.
514Emveni kwezi zinto, uYesu umfumana etempileni, athi kuye, Uyabona, uphilile; musa ukuba sona, ukuze ungahlelwa yinto embi kunaleyo.
515Wemka umntu lowo, waxela kumaYuda, ukuba nguYesu omenze waphila.
516Ngenxa yoko ayemtshutshisa uYesu amaYuda, afuna ukumbulala; ngokuba wayesenza ezo zinto ngesabatha.
517Wawaphendula ke uYesu wathi, UBawo uyasebenza kude kube ngoku, nam ndiyasebenza.
518Ngenxa yoko ke ayefuna ngakumbi amaYuda ukumbulala; ngokuba ubengaphule sabatha yodwa, wayetshilo nokuthi, uThixo ngowakhe uYise, ezenza alingane noThixo.
519Waphendula ngoko uYesu, wathi kuwo, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, UNyana akanakwenza nto ngokwakhe, engathanga abone uYise eyenza; kuba izinto asukuba ezenza yena, ezo uyazenza uNyana kwangokunjalo;
520kuba uYise uyamthanda uNyana, ambonise izinto zonke azenzayo yena; uya kumbonisa nemisebenzi emikhulu kunale, ukuze nina nimangaliswe.
521Kuba, njengoko uYise abavusayo abafileyo, abadlise ubomi, kwangokunjalo noNyana ubadlisa ubomi abo athandayo.
522Kuba kananjalo uYise akagwebi namnye; uthe umgwebo wonke wawunikela kuNyana;
523ukuze bonke bambeke uNyana, kwanjengoko bambekayo uYise. Lowo ungambekiyo uNyana, akambeki uYise owamthumayo.
524Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Lowo ulivayo ilizwi lam, akholwe ngulowo wandithumayo, unobomi obungunaphakade; akezi ekugwetyweni; uphume ekufeni, wangena ebomini.
525Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Kuza ilixa, nangoku liselikho, xa abafileyo baya kuliva izwi loNyana kaThixo, bathi abalivileyo badle ubomi.
526Kuba njengokuba uYise enabo ubomi kuye ngokwakhe, ngokunjalo wamnika noNyana ukuba abe nobomi kuye ngokwakhe.
527Wamnika negunya lokugweba; ngokuba enguNyana woMntu.
528Musani ukumangaliswa kuko oko; ngokuba kuza ilixa abaya kuthi ngalo bonke abasemangcwabeni balive ilizwi lakhe;
529baphume ke: abo benza izinto ezilungileyo beze eluvukweni lobomi; nabo ke benza izinto ezimbi, beze eluvukweni lokugwetywa.
530Mna ngokwam andinakwenza nto; njengoko ndivayo, ndigweba ngako, nomgwebo wam ububulungisa; ngokuba andifuni kuthanda kwam, ndifuna ukuthanda kukaBawo owandithumayo.
531Ukuba mna ndisuka ndizingqinele, ubungqina bam abungebi yiyo inene.
532Kukho omnye ongqinayo ngam; ndiyazi ke, ukuba buyinene ubungqina abungqinayo ngam.
533Nina nithumele kuYohane; uyingqinele ke inyaniso.
534Mna ke andamkeli bungqina mntwini; ndizithetha ezi zinto, ukuze nina nisindiswe.
535Yena lowo ebesiso isibane esivuthayo, esikhanyayo; ke nina nathanda ukugcoba umzuzwana elukhanyweni lwakhe.
536Mna ke ndinabo ubungqina obungaphezu kobukaYohane; kuba imisebenzi awandinikayo uBawo ukuba ndiyifeze, yona le misebenzi ndiyenzayo mna, iyangqina ngam, ukuba uBawo undithumile.
537NoBawo owandithumayo, yena ungqinile ngam. Anizanga nilive izwi lakhe nakanye, niyibone nembonakalo yakhe.
538Nezwi lakhe aninalo lihleli, kuni; ngokuba lowo uthunywe nguye, ningakholwa nguye nina.
539Ziphengululeni izibhalo, ngokuba nina niba ninobomi obungunaphakade kuzo; zaye zona zingqina ngam.
540Nibe ke nina ningathandi ukuza kum, ukuze nibe nobomi.
541Andamkeli luzuko bantwini.
542Ndiyanazi nina, ukuba uthando lukaThixo aninalo ngaphakathi kwenu.
543Mna ndize egameni likaBawo, anindamkeli; ukuba omnye uthe weza ngelilelakhe igama, nomamkela yena.
544Ningathini na ukuba nako ukukholwa, nisamkelela uzuko omnye komnye nje nina, nibe uzuko lona oluvela kuThixo yedwa ningalufuni?
545Ningabi ndiya kunimangalela kuBawo mna; ukho onimangalelayo, uMoses, lowo nimthembileyo nina.
546Kuba, ukuba benikholiwe nguMoses, ninge nikholiwe ndim; kuba yena wabhala ngam.
547Ke ukuba anikholwa zizibhalo zakhe yena, ningathini na ukukholwa ngawam amazwi?
61Emveni kwezi zinto, wemka uYesu, waya phesheya kolwandle lwaseGalili, lwaseTibheriya.
62Wayelandelwa ke sisihlwele esikhulu, ngokuba babebona imiqondiso yakhe, abeyenza kwababesifa.
63Ke kaloku, wenyuka uYesu waya entabeni, wahlala phantsi khona nabafundi bakhe.
64Yaye ke ikufuphi ipasika, umthendeleko wamaYuda.
65Ewaphakamisile ngoko uYesu amehlo akhe, ebone isihlwele esikhulu sisiza kuye, wathi kuFilipu, Sozithenga phi na izonka, ukuze badle aba?
66Ubesitsho ke emlinga; kuba ubeyazi yena into abeza kuyenza.
67UFilipu wamphendula wathi, Izonka zeedenariyo ezimakhulu mabini azibanele, ukuze elowo athabathe intwana.
68Athi kuye omnye kubafundi bakhe, uAndreya, umzalwana kaSimon Petros,
69Kukho nkwenkwana apha, inezonka ezihlanu zerhasi neentlanzi ezimbini; kodwa ke ziyintoni na ezo kwabangakanana?
610Uthe ke uYesu, Bahlaliseni phantsi abantu. Kwaye ke kukho utyani obuninzi kuloo ndawo. Ahlala phantsi ngoko amadoda, engathi amawaka mahlanu inani.
611Wazithabatha ke izonka uYesu, wathi akubulela wababela abafundi, bathi ke abafundi babela abo babehleli phantsi, kwaba kwanjalo nakwiintlanzi, ngangokuthanda kwabo.
612Bakuhlutha ke, uthi kubafundi bakhe, Buthani amaqhekeza aseleyo, ukuze kungonakali nto.
613Babutha ngoko, bazalisa izitya zalishumi elinazibini ngamaqhekeza abesele kubo ababedlile, ezonkeni ezihlanu zerhasi.
614Ngoko abantu aba, bakuwubona umqondiso awawenzayo uYesu, bathi, Lo nguye inyaniso umprofeti lowo uzayo ehlabathini.
615Uthe ngoko uYesu, esazi ukuba bahlalele ukuza kumbamba ngamandla, bamenze ukumkani, wabuya wemka, waya entabeni Yena yedwa.
616Ke kaloku, kuthe kwakuhlwa, behla abafundi bakhe, baya elwandle.
617Bengenile ke emkhombeni, baluwela ulwandle, besiya eKapernahum; kwakusekumnyama, waye uYesu engafikanga kubo.
618Lwaye nolwandle lusilwa, kananjalo kuvuthuza umoya omkhulu.
619Bakuba ngoko begweqile izitadiya ezingathi zimashumi mabini anazihlanu, nokuba mathathu, bambona uYesu ehamba phezu kolwandle, esiza kubo kufuphi nomkhombe; basuka boyika.
620Athi ke yena kubo, Ndim; musani ukoyika.
621Babethanda ngoko ukumamkelela emkhombeni; waza kwaoko umkhombe waba semhlabeni lowo babesiya kuwo.
622Ngengomso indimbane leyo, ibimi phesheya kolwandle, yakuba ibonile ukuba akukho mkhonjana wumbi khona, ngulowo mnye wodwa babengene kuwo abafundi bakhe; nokuba uYesu akangenanga nabafundi bakhe emkhonjaneni lowo, bemke bodwa abafundi bakhe;
623nokuba kuze eminye imikhonjana ivela eTibheriya, kufuphi nendawo apho babedle isonka khona, yakuba ibulele iNkosi:
624xeshikweni ke indimbane yabonayo ukuba uYesu akakho apho nabafundi bakhe, besuka bangena nabo emikhombeni, beza eKapernahum, bemfuna uYesu.
625Bathe bakumfumana phesheya kolwandle, bathi kuye, Rabhi, ufike nini na apha?
626Wabaphendula uYesu wathi, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Anindifuni ngakuba nabona imiqondiso; nindifuna ngokuba nadla kwezaa zonka, nahlutha.
627Musani ukusebenzela ukudla okutshabalalayo; sebenzelani ukudla okuhlala kuse ebomini obungunaphakade, aya kunipha kona uNyana woMntu; kuba uYise uThixo utywine waqinisela yena lowo.
628Bathe ngoko kuye, Masenze ntoni na, ukuze sisebenze imisebenzi kaThixo?
629Waphendula uYesu, wathi kubo, Umsebenzi kaThixo nguwo lo, ukuba nikholwe kuye othunyiweyo nguye.
630Bathi ngoko kuye, Wenza mqondiso mni na wena, ukuze sibone, sikholwe nguwe? Usebenza ntoni na?
631Oobawo bethu bona badla imana entlango, njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Wabanika isonka siphuma ezulwini, ukuba badle sona.
632Uthe ngoko uYesu kubo, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, AsinguMoses oninike isonka esiphuma ezulwini; nguBawo oninika isonka esiphuma ezulwini, esiyinyaniso.
633Kuba isonka sikaThixo sesi sehlayo ezulwini, silinike ubomi ihlabathi.
634Bathi ke ngoko kuye, Nkosi, sinike eso sonka ngamaxa onke.
635Wathi ke uYesu kubo, Isonka sobomi esi ndim; lowo uzayo kum, akasayi kulamba; lowo ukholwayo kum, akasayi kunxanwa naphakade.
636Senditshilo kuni ukuthi, Nindibonile nokundibona, anikholwa noko.
637Konke andinikayo uBawo, kuya kuza kum; nozayo kum, andisayi kukha ndimlahlele phandle;
638ngokuba ndihle emazulwini, ndingaze kwenza ukuthanda kwam; ndize kwenza ukuthanda kwalowo wandithumayo.
639Kuko ke oku ukuthanda kowandithumayo, kukaBawo: ukuba konke awandinikayo, ndingalahli nento kuko, ndikuvuse ngomhla wokugqibela.
640Kuko ke oku ukuthanda kowandithumayo, ukuthi babe nobomi obungunaphakade bonke abambonayo uNyana, bakholwe kuye; ndandiya kubavusa mna ngomhla wokugqibela.
641Ayemkrokrela ngoko amaYuda, ngokuba wathi, Ndim isonka, esi sehlayo emazulwini.
642Ayesithi ke, Lo asinguye na kanene uYesu, unyana kaYosefu, esimaziyo thina uyise nonina? Angathini na ke ngoko yena ukuthi, Ndihle emazulwini?
643Waphendula ngoko UYesu wathi kubo, Musani ukukrokra ngaphakathi kwenu.
644Akukho namnye unako ukuza kum, engathanga uBawo owandithumayo amtsale; ndaye mna ndiya kumvusa ngomhla wokugqibela.
645Kubhaliwe ebaprofetini kwathiwa, Baye bonke beya kuba ngabafundiswa bakaThixo; bonke ngoko abathe beva kuBawo, bafunda kuye, bayeza kum.
646Kungekuba kukho bani umbonileyo uBawo, ingenguye ovela kuThixo; nguye yedwa ombonileyo uBawo.
647Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Lowo ukholwayo kum unobomi obungunaphakade.
648Ndim isonka sobomi.
649Ooyihlo bayidla imana leyo entlango, bafile noko.
650Isonka sona esihla emazulwini sesi, athi ubani akusidla, angafi.
651Ndim isonka esiphilileyo, esi sehlayo emazulwini. Ukuba ubani uthe wasidla esi sonka, wodla ubomi ngonaphakade; ke isonka endiya kumnika sona mna, siyinyama yam, endiya kuyinikela ubomi behlabathi.
652Ngoko amaYuda ayesilwa phakathi kwawo, esithi, Angathini na lo ukusinika inyama yakhe siyidle?
653Wathi ngoko uYesu kuwo, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ukuba anithanga niyidle inyama yoNyana woMntu, nilisele igazi lakhe, aninabo ubomi kuni.
654Lowo uyidlayo eyam inyama, alisele elam igazi, unobomi obungunaphakade; ndaye mna ndiya kumvusa ngomhla wokugqibela.
655Kuba inyama yam ikukudla, inyaniso; negazi lam liluselo, inyaniso.
656Lowo uyidlayo eyam inyama, alisele elam igazi, uhleli kum, nam ndihleli kuye.
657Njengoko uBawo ophilileyo wandithumayo, ndibe nam ndiphilile ngenxa enoBawo, lowo undidlayo, kwayena uya kuphila ngam.
658Siso eso isonka esehla emazulwini; kungenjengokuba ooyihlo bayidlayo imana, bafa noko. Lowo usidlayo esi sonka, uya kuphila ngonaphakade.
659Ezi zinto wazithetha endlwini yesikhungu, efundisa eKapernahum.
660Into eninzi ngoko kubafundi bakhe yakuva yathi, Lilizwi elinqabileyo eli; ngubani na onako ukuliva?
661Ke kaloku, esazi uYesu ngaphakathi kwakhe, ukuba bayakrokra lilo abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo, Kuyanikhubekisa na oku?
662Hi na ke, ukuba nithe nambona uNyana woMntu enyukela apho ebefudula ekhona?
663Ngumoya odlisa ubomi; inyama yona ayincedi lutho. Amazwi la ndiwathethayo kuni mna angumoya, abubomi.
664Kukho abathile kuni abangakholwayo. Kuba ebesazi kwasekuqalekeni uYesu, ukuba ngoobani na ababengakholwa, nokuba ngubani na oya kumnikela.
665Wayesithi, Kungenxa yoku ndatshoyo kuni ukuthi, Akukho namnye unako ukuza kum, ukuba akathanga akunikwe nguBawo.
666Ngenxa yoko into eninzi yabafundi bakhe yabuya umva, ayaba sahamba naye.
667Wathi ngoko uYesu kwabalishumi elinababini, Nani nifuna ukumka, yini na?
668Wamphendula ngoko uSimon Petros wathi, Nkosi, sosuka siye kubani na? Nguwe onamazwi obomi obungunaphakade.
669Nathi sikholiwe, sazile, ukuba wena unguye uKristu, uNyana kaThixo ophilileyo.
670Wabaphendula uYesu wathi, Andininyulanga na mna, nina shumi linababini? Ukanti omnye kuni ungumtyholi.
671Wayethetha ke ngoYuda Sikariyoti kaSimon, kuba lowo ibinguye obeza kumngcatsha, engomnye weshumi elinababini.
71Emveni kwezi zinto, wayehamba uYesu kwelaseGalili; kuba ebengathandi ukuhamba kwelakwaYuda; ngokuba amaYuda ebefuna ukumbulala.
72Ke kaloku, wawukufuphi umthendeleko wamaYuda weminquba.
73Bathi ngoko kuye abazalwana bakhe, Gqitha apha, uye kwelakwaYuda, ukuze nabafundi bakho bayibone imisebenzi yakho oyenzayo.
74Kuba akukho namnye wenza into emfihlekweni, abe yena ngokwakhe efuna ukuba sekuhleni. Ukuba uyazenza ezi zinto, zibonakalise ngokwakho kwihlabathi.
75Kuba nabazalwana bakhe bebengakholwa kuye.
76Wathi ngoko uYesu kubo, Ixesha lam alikabikho, ke elenu ixesha lihlala lilungile.
77Ihlabathi alinakunithiya nina; mna ke liyandithiya, ngokuba mna ndingqina ngalo, ukuba imisebenzi yalo ayindawo.
78Nyukani nina, niye kulo mthendeleko; mna andikanyuki, ndiye kulo mthendeleko; ngokuba ixesha lam alikazaliseki.
79Akuba ke ezithethile ezi zinto kubo, wahlala kwelaseGalili.
710Ke, bakuba benyukile abazalwana bakhe, wenyuka naye, waya emthendelekweni, kungekhona ekuhleni, kubusithela.
711Ayemfuna ngoko amaYuda emthendelekweni, esithi, Uphi na yena?
712Kwaye kukho ukukrokra okukhulu ngaye ebantwini; inxenye ibisithi, Ulungile; abanye ke besithi, Hayi, yena ulahlekisa uluntu olu.
713Noko ke bekungekho namnye ubethetha ngaye ngokusekuhleni, ngenxa yokoyika amaYuda.
714Ke kaloku, kwakubon’ ukuba sekuphakathi komthendeleko, wenyuka uYesu waya etempileni, wafundisa.
715Ayemangaliswa amaYuda, esithi, Lo uyazi ngani na imfundo, engafundanga nje?
716Waphendula uYesu, wathi, Eyam imfundiso asiyam, yeyalowo wandithumayo.
717Ukuba kukho othi afune ukukwenza ukuthanda kwakhe, woyazi imfundiso le: ukuba iphuma kuThixo, nokuba mna ndithetha okukokwam, kusini na.
718Lowo uthetha okwakhe, ufuna olulolwakhe uzuko; ke lowo ufuna uzuko lowamthumayo, uyinene yena, akukho kungalungisi kuye.
719Umthetho aniwunikelwanga na nguMoses? Kanti ke akukho namnye kuni uwugcinayo umthetho; yini na ukuba nifune ukundibulala?
720Saphendula isihlwele sathi, Unedemon; ngubani na ofuna ukukubulala?
721Wapendula uYesu wathi kubo. Ndenze umsebenzi wamnye, namangaliswa ke nonke.
722UMoses uninike ulwaluko ngenxa yoku, kungengenxa yokuba luphume kuMoses, kungenxa yokuba luphume kooyihlo. Niyamalusa ke umntu nangesabatha.
723Ukuba umntu uyaluswa ngesabatha, ukuze ungaphulwa umthetho kaMoses, nindijalele na ngokuba ndiphilise umntu, waphila kwaphela, ngesabatha?
724Musani ukugweba ngokwembonakalo; gwebani ngomgwebo olungisayo.
725Babesithi ngoko abathile kwabaseYerusalem, Asinguye na lo bafuna ukumbulala?
726Niyabona, uthetha ngokuphandle, abathethi nto kuye; bangaba kanti na ke bayazi okwenyaniso abaphathi, ukuba lo nguye uKristu okwenyaniso?
727Thina siyamazi lo apho avela khona; xa sukuba ke uKristu esiza, akukho namnye uya kumazi apho avela khona.
728Wadanduluka ke ngoko uYesu, efundisa etempileni, wathi, Nina niyandazi, nikwazi nalapho ndivela khona; andizanga ngokwam; uyinyaniso owandithumayo, eningamaziyo nina.
729Mna ke ndiyamazi; ngokuba ndivela kuye, waye yena endithumile.
730Babefuna ngoko ukumbamba; kodwa akubangakho namnye umsa isandla, ngokuba ilixa lakhe belingekafiki.
731Ke kaloku, into eninzi esihlweleni yakholwa kuye; yayisithi, UKristu, xa athe wafika, angaba uya kwenza imiqondiso emininzi na kunale ayenzileyo lo?
732AbaFarisi beva abantu bezikrokrela ezi zinto ngaye; baza abaFarisi nababingeleli abakhulu bathuma amadindala, ukuba ambambe.
733Wathi ngoko uYesu kuwo, Liselixesha elifutshane endinani, ndize ndiye kowandithumayo.
734Niya kundifuna, ningandifumani; nithi apho ndikhona mna, ningabi nakufika nina.
735Athi ngoko amaYuda phakathi kwawo, Uza kuya phi na lo, le nto singayi kumfumana thina? Angaba uza kuya kwiintsali ezikumaGrike, afundise amaGrike, yini na?
736Liyintoni na eli lizwi alithethileyo, lithi, Niya kundifuna, ningandifumani; nithi apho ndikhona mna, ningabi nakufika nina?
737Ke kaloku, ngomhla wokugqibela, ongowona mkhulu womthendeleko, wema uYesu, wadanduluka esithi, Ukuba kukho othi anxanwe, makeze kum asele.
738Lowo ukholwayo kum, njengoko satshoyo isibhalo, kuya kumpompoza imilambo yamanzi aphilileyo, iphuma embilinini wakhe.
739Oku wakutsho ke ngaye uMoya, ababeza kumamkeliswa abo bakholwayo kuye; kuba ebengekamkelwa uMoya oyiNgcwele; ngokuba uYesu ebengekazukiswa.
740Yaye ngoko into eninzi esihlweleni, yakuliva ilizwi elo, isithi, Lo nguye umprofeti, inyaniso. Babesithi abanye, Lo nguye uKristu.
741Babesithi abanye, uKristu angavela kwelaseGalili yini na?
742Asitshongo na isibhalo ukuthi, uKristu uphuma embewini kaDavide, naseBhetelehem, umzana abekuwo uDavide?
743Ke ngoko sathi qheke kubini isihlwele ngenxa yakhe.
744Inxenye ke kubo yayithanda ukumbamba, kodwa akubangakho namnye umsa izandla.
745Afika ngoko amadindala kubabingeleli abakhulu nakubaFarisi; baza bona bathi kuwo, Kungani na ukuba ningezi naye?
746Aphendula amadindala athi, Akuzanga kuthethe mntu njengoko athetha ngako lo mntu.
747Bawaphendula ngoko abaFarisi, bathi, Ningaba nilahlekisiwe nani na?
748Kubaphathi nakubaFarisi kungaba kukho mntu ukholiweyo kuye yini na?
749Olu luntu lungawaziyo umthetho luqalekisiwe.
750Uthe uNikodemo kubo (lowo wezayo kuye ebusuku, engomnye kwabo),
751Umthetho wethu uyamgweba yini na umntu, ukuba awuthanga uve kuye kuqala, uqonde into ayenzayo?
752Baphendula bathi kuye, Ungaba ungowelaseGalili nawe na? Phengulula ubone, ukuba akuveli mprofeti kwelaseGalili.
753Walowo ke waya kweyakhe indlu.
81UYesu ke yena waya eNtabeni yemiNquma.
82Uthe ke ngesifingo wabuya wafika etempileni; baye bonke abantu besiza kuye; wahlala phantsi, wabafundisa.
83Ababhali nabaFarisi bazisa ke kuye umfazi obanjwe ekrexeza; baza, bemmise phakathi,
84bathi kuye, Mfundisi, lo mfazi wabanjwa ekrexeza, kanye kuloo ntlondi.
85Ke kaloku, emthethweni uMoses wasimisela ukuthi, abanjalo mabagityiselwe ngamatye; uthini na ke wena?
86Babesitsho ke bemhenda, ukuze babe nokummangalela; kodwa uYesu, ethobe phantsi, wabhala ngomnwe emhlabeni.
87Uthe ke bakumana bembuza, waphakama, wathi kubo, Ongenasono kuni makaqale amgibisele ngelitye.
88Wabuya wathoba phantsi, wabhala emhlabeni.
89Bathe ke bona bakuva, besohlwaywa naluvalo lwabo, baphuma ngabanye, beqalela kwabakhulu, kwada kwaba kwabokugqibela. Wasala yedwa uYesu, waye umfazi emi phakathi.
810Ephakamile ke uYesu, akabona mntu kwakuphela ngumfazi lowo; wathi kuye, Mfazindini, baphi na abo bamangaleli bakho? Akukho ukugwebileyo na?
811Wathi ke yena, Noko amnye, Nkosi. Wathi ke uYesu kuye, Nam andikugwebi; hamba, ungabuye wone.
812Wabuya ngoko uYesu wathetha kubo, esithi, Ndim ukhanyiselo lwehlabathi; lowo undilandelayo akasayi kuhamba ebumnyameni; yena uya kuba nalo ukhanyiso lobomi.
813Bathe ngoko abaFarisi kuye, Wena uyazingqinela, ubungqina bakho abunene.
814Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Nokuba ndithi ndizingqinele mna ngokwam, buyinene ubungqina bam; ngokuba ndiyazi apho ndavela khona, nalapho ndiya khona; ke nina anazi apho ndivela khona, nalapho ndiya khona.
815Nina nigweba ngokwenyama; mna andigwebi namnye.
816Nokuba ndithi ndigwebe mna, umgwebo wam uyinene; ngokuba andindedwa, ndim noBawo owandithumayo.
817Nasemthethweni wenu ke kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ubungqina babantu ababini buyinene.
818Mna ndingulowo uzingqinelayo; uyandingqinela nalowo wandithumayo, uBawo.
819Bathi ngoko kuye, Uphi na uYihlo? Waphendula uYesu, wathi, Anindazi mna; animazi noBawo. Ukuba benindazi mna, ninge nimazi noBawo.
820Loo mazwi wawathetha uYesu ngasemkhumbini wokulondoloza imali, efundisa etempileni; akwabakho namnye umbambayo; ngokuba belingekafiki ilixa lakhe.
821Wabuya ngoko uYesu wathi kubo, Ndiyemka mna; niya kundifuna, nifele esonweni senu; apho ndiya khona mna, aninako ukufika nina.
822Abesithi ngoko amaYuda, Angaba uya kuzibulala na, le nto athi, Apho ndiya khona mna, aninako ukufika nina?
823Wathi kuwo, Nina ningabangaphantsi, mna ndingowangaphezulu; nina ningabeli hlabathi, mna andingoweli hlabathi.
824Ndatsho ngoko kuni ukuthi, Niya kufela ezonweni zenu; kuba ekubeni nithe anakholwa ukuba ndinguye, niya kufela ezonweni zenu.
825Abesithi ngoko kuye, Ungubani wena? Wathi kuwo uYesu, Ndiyiloo nto ndayixelayo kuni kwasekuqaleni.
826Ndineendawo ezininzi zokuthetha nokugweba ngani; lowo wandithumayo uyinene; ndithi ke mna, izinto endazivayo kuye, ndithethe zona ezo kwihlabathi.
827Akaqondanga ukuba ebethetha ngoYise kuwo.
828Wathi ngoko uYesu kuwo, Xa nithe namphakamisa uNyana woMntu, noqonda oko ukuba ndinguye, nokuba andenzi nto ngokwam; ndisuka ndizithethe ezi zinto njengoko wandifundisayo uBawo.
829Lowo wandithumayo unam; uBawo akandishiyanga ndedwa; ngokuba mna ndihleli ndizenza izinto ezikholekileyo kuye.
830Akubon’ ukuba uyazithetha ezi zinto, bakholwa kuye, baba baninzi.
831Ubesithi ngoko uYesu kuloo maYuda akholiweyo kuye, Ukuba nina nithe nahlala elizwini lam, noba ningabafundi bam, inyaniso.
832Naniya kuyazi inyaniso, yaye inyaniso iya kunikhulula.
833Amphendula, athi, Thina siyimbewu ka-Abraham; asizanga sibe sebukhobokeni nakubani; utsho ngani na wena ukuthi, Noba ngabakhululekileyo?
834Uwaphendule uYesu wathi, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Bonke abenza isono bangamakhoboka esono.
835Ikhoboka ke alihlali endlwini ngonaphakade; ngunyana ohlala ngonaphakade.
836Ngoko ukuba uNyana uthe wanikhulula, noba nikhululekile inene.
837Ndiyazi ukuba niyimbewu ka-Abraham; ke nifuna ukundibulala, ngokuba ilizwi lam lingenakuhamba kuni.
838Mna ndithetha endikubonileyo kuBawo; nani ke nenza enikubonileyo kuyihlo.
839Aphendula athi kuye, Ubawo thina nguAbraham. Athi kuwo uYesu, Ukuba nibe ningabantwana baka-Abraham, ninge niyenza imisebenzi ka-Abraham.
840Kaloku ke, nifuna ukubulala mna, mntu unixelele inyaniso endayiva kuThixo; akakwenzanga oko uAbraham.
841Nina nenza imisebenzi yooyihlo. Athi ngoko kuye, Thina asizelwe ngabuhenyu, sinaBawo mnye, uThixo.
842Uthe ke uYesu kuwo, Ukuba uThixo ebenguYihlo, ninge nindithanda; kuba mna ndaphuma kuThixo, ndifikile ke; kuba andizanga ngokwam, nguye owandithumayo.
843Kungani na ukuba ningayiqondi intetho yam? Kungokuba ningenakuliva ilizwi lam.
844Nina ningaboyihlo uMtyholi, neenkanuko zoyihlo niyathanda ukuzenza. Yena waye esisibulala-mntu kwasekuqaleni; akemi enyanisweni, ngokuba akukho nyaniso kuye. Xa sukuba ethetha ubuxoki, uthetha okukokwakhe; ngokuba ulixoki, noyise wawo.
845Mna ke, ngokuba ndithetha inyaniso, anikholwa ndim.
846Ngubani na kuni ondohlwayayo ngenxa yesono? Ukuba ke ndithetha inyaniso, kungani na ukuba ningakholwa ndim?
847Lowo ungokaThixo, uyaweva amazwi kaThixo; ngenxa yoko aniweva nina, ngokuba ningengabakaThixo.
848Aphendula ngoko amaYuda, athi kuye, Asilungisi na thina ukuthi ungumSamariya wena, nokuthi unedemon?
849Waphendula uYesu wathi, Andinademon mna; ndibeka uBawo; nina ke nibe nindihlaza.
850Mna ke andifuni luzuko lwam; ukho lowo ufunayo, ugwebayo.
851Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ukuba umntu uthe waligcina ilizwi lam, akasayi kuza abone kufa naphakade.
852Athi ngoko amaYuda kuye, Kukalokunje, siyazi ukuba unedemon. UAbraham wafa, nabo abaprofeti bafa, ube wena usithi, Ukuba umntu uthe waligcina ilizwi lam, akasayi kuza eve kufa naphakade.
853Wena ungaba umkhulu yini na kunobawo wethu uAbraham, yena wafayo? Nabaprofeti bafa; uzenza bani na wena?
854Waphendula uYesu wathi, Ukuba mna ndithi ndizizukise, uzuko lwam alungebi nto; nguBawo ondizukisayo; enithi nina nguThixo wenu.
855Kanti ke animazanga, mna ke ndiyamazi. Ukuba ke ndithe andimazi, ndoba ndilixoki njengani; ndiyamazi, ndiligcinile nelizwi lakhe.
856UAbraham, uyihlo, wagcobela ukuwubona umhla wam; wawubona, wavuya.
857Athi ngoko amaYuda kuye, Ungekabi naminyaka imashumi mahlanu nje, umbonile na uAbraham?
858Wathi kuwo uYesu, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Engekabikho uAbraham, mna ndikho kade.
859Ngoko achola amatye, ukuze amgibisele; wazimela ke uYesu, waphuma etempileni, wacanda phakathi kwawo; wenjenjalo ukudlula.
91Uthe ke edlula, wabona umntu obe eyimfama kwasekuzalweni kwakhe.
92Bambuza ke abafundi bakhe, besithi, Rabhi, ngubani na owonayo, ngulo, ngabazali bakhe, sini na, ukuze azalwe eyimfama nje?
93Waphendula uYesu wathi, Akone lo, akone bazali bakhe; uzelwe eyimfama ukuze ibonakalaliselwe kuye imisebenzi kaThixo.
94Ndimelwe kukuyisebenza imisebenzi yowandithumayo, kusesemini; kuza ubusuku, xa kungekho namnye unako ukusebenza.
95Xa ndisesehlabathini, ndilukhanyiselo lwehlabathi.
96Akuba etshilo, watshica emhlabeni, wenza udaka ngamathe, wawaqaba amehlo emfama ngodaka olo.
97Wathi kuyo, Yiya kuhlamba echibini leSilowa (oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, Thunyiwe). Yemka ngoko, yaya yahlamba, yeza ibona.
98Baye ngoko abamelwane, nababembona ngaphambili ukuba uyimfama, besithi, Lo asinguye na obehleli engqiba?
99Abanye babesithi, Nguye lo; bambi ke bathi, ufana naye; yena ke wayesithi, Ndinguye.
910Babesithi ngoko kuye, Atheni na ukuvuleka amehlo akho?
911Waphendula yena wathi, Umntu ekuthiwa nguYesu wenze udaka, waqaba amehlo am, wathi kum, Yiya echibini leSilowa, uhlambe; ndiyile ke ndahlamba, ndabuya ndibona.
912Bathi ngoko kuye, Uphi na yena? Athi, Andazi.
913Bamzisa kubaFarisi lowo ubefudula eyimfama.
914Ke kaloku yaye iyisabatha, oko uYesu wenza udaka, wawavula amehlo akhe.
915Babuya ngoko ke bambuza nabaFarisi, ukuba utheni na ukuba abuye abone. Wathi ke yena kubo, Ubeke udaka emehlweni am, ndaza ndahlamba; ndiyabona ke.
916Babesithi ngoko abathile bakubaFarisi, Lo mntu asingowakwaThixo, ngokuba isabatha akayigcini. Babesithi abanye, Angathini na umntu ongumoni ukwenza imiqondiso engakanana? Bathi qheke kubini.
917Babuya bathi kwimfama, Uthini na wena ngaye, ewavulile nje amehlo akho? Uthe ke yena, Ungumprofeti.
918Akakholwa ngoko amaYuda ngaye, ukuba ebeyimfama, wabuye wabona, ada abiza abazali balowo ubuye wabona.
919Aza ababuza esithi, Lo ngunyana wenu na, enithi nina wazalwa eyimfama? Phofu ubona ngani na ngoku?
920Abazali bakhe bawaphendula bathi, Siyazi ukuba lo ngunyana wethu, kwanokuba ke wazalwa eyimfama;
921le nto ke abonayo ngoku asazi, novule amehlo akhe, asimazi thina; uselemkhulu yena, buzani kuye, wozithethela.
922Batsho abazali bakhe, ngokuba babesoyika amaYuda; kuba amaYuda abeselenqophisene ngokuthi, Ukuba uthe umntu wamvuma ukuba nguKristu, aze akhutshwe esikhungwini.
923Kungenxa yoko abazali bakhe bathi, Uselemkhulu, buzani kuye.
924Ambiza ngoko okwesibini umntu obeyimfama, athi kuye, Zukisa uThixo; siyazi thina ukuba lo mntu ungumoni.
925Uphendule ngoko yena, wathi, Ukuba ungumoni, andazi; ndazi nto-nye, eyokuba ndibe ndiyimfama nje, ngoku ndiyabona.
926Abuye ke athi kuye, Wenze ntoni na kuwe? utheni na ukuwavula amehlo akho?
927Wawaphendula wathi, Sendinixelele, naza aneva; nithandelani na ukubuya nive? Nani ningaba nithanda ukuba ngabafundi bakhe na?
928Amtshabhisa ngoko athi, Nguwe umfundi wakhe; ke thina singabafundi bakaMoses.
929Siyazi thina, ukuba uThixo uthethile kuMoses; lo yena asimazi apho avela khona.
930Waphendula umntu lowo, wathi kuwo, Nasi apha isimanga, ukuthi nina ningazi apho avela khona; ukanti uwavulile amehlo am.
931Siyazi ke ukuba uThixo akabeva aboni; kodwa ukuba umntu uthi amhlonele uThixo, akwenze ukuthanda kwakhe, uyamva lowo.
932Kwasephakadeni akuzanga kuviwe ukuba umntu wakha wavula amehlo ozelwe eyimfama.
933Ukuba lo ebengenguye owakwaThixo, ebengenakwenza nto.
934Aphendula athi kuye, Wena wazalelwa ezonweni kanye; ufundisa thina na wena? Amkhuphela ngaphandle.
935Weva uYesu ukuba amkhuphele ngaphandle. Uthe akumfumana wathi kuye, Wena uyakholwa na kuNyana kaThixo?
936Uphendule yena wathi, Ongubani na, Nkosi, ukuze ndikholwe kuye?
937Uthe ke uYesu kuye, Umbonile; nguye lo uthetha nawe.
938Wathi ke yena, Ndiyakholwa, Nkosi. Waza waqubuda kuye.
939Wathi uYesu, Mna ndizele ugwebo kweli hlabathi, ukuze abangaboniyo babone, bathi ababonayo babe ziimfama.
940Baziva ezo nto abakubaFarisi ababenaye, bathi kuye, Singaba siziimfama nathi na?
941Uthe ke kubo uYesu, Ukuba beniziimfama, ngeningenasono; kungoku nithi, Siyabona; ke ngoko isono senu sihleli.
101Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ongangeniyo ngalo isango ebuhlantini bezimvu, osuka akhwele ngandawo yimbi, lowo ulisela nesihange.
102Ke yena ongena ngalo isango ngumalusi wezimvu.
103Umgcini-sango uyamvulela lowo; zithi nezimvu zilive izwi lakhe azibize ezakhe izimvu ngamagama, azikhokelele phandle zona.
104Xa athe wazikhupha ezakhe izimvu, uhamba phambi kwazo, zithi nezimvu zimlandele; ngokuba zilazi izwi lakhe.
105Ke owasemzini azingemlandeli; zosuka zimbaleke, ngokuba zingalazi izwi labasemzini.
106Lo mzekeliso wawuthetha kubo uYesu; ke bona abaziqondanga ukuba zizinto zini na ezo abezithetha kubo.
107Wabuya wathi ngoko kubo uYesu, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ndim isango lezimvu.
108Bonke abezayo ngaphambi kwam bangamasela nezihange; ke zona izimvu azibevanga.
109Ndim isango; ukuba umntu uthe wangena ngam, wosindiswa; uya kungena ephuma, afumane utyani.
1010Isela alizi lingazele ukuze libe, lixhele, litshabalalise. Mna ndizele ukuze babe nobomi, babe nabo ke ngokugqithiseleyo.
1011Ndim umalusi olungileyo; umalusi olungileyo, ubomi bakhe ubuncamela izimvu.
1012Ke yena ongumqeshwa, engengumalusi, ezingezizo ezakhe izimvu, uyibona ingcuka isiza, azishiye izimvu, abaleke, ize ingcuka izibambe, izichithachithe izimvu.
1013Umqeshwa lo ke ubaleka ngokuba engumqeshwa, engazikhathalele izimvu.
1014Ndim umalusi olungileyo; ndiyazazi ezam, ndiyaziwa zezam.
1015Njengokuba endazi uBawo, nam ndiyamazi uBawo, nobomi bam ndibuncamela izimvu.
1016Ndinazo nezinye izimvu, ezingezizo ezobu buhlanti; nazo ezo ndimelwe kukuza nazo; zaye ziya kuliva izwi lam, zibe mhlambi mnye, nomalusi abe mnye.
1017Ngenxa yoku uBawo uyandithanda; ngokuba mna ndibuncama ubomi bam, ukuze ndibuye ndibuthabathe.
1018Akukho namnye ubuhluthayo kum, ndiyabuncama mna ngokwam; ndinegunya lokubuncama, ndinegunya lokubuya ndibuthabathe; lo mthetho ndawamkela kuBawo.
1019Abuya ngoko amaYuda athi qheke kubini ngenxa yala mazwi.
1020Yayisithi ke into eninzi kuwo, Unedemon, uyageza; yini na ukuba nimphulaphule?
1021Abanye babesithi, La mazwi asingawo awophethwe yidemon: idemon ingaba inako yini na ukuvula amehlo emfama?
1022Ke kaloku, kwabakho umthendeleko wokuhlaziywa kwetempile eYerusalem; kwaye kusebusika.
1023Waye ehambahamba uYesu etempileni, evarandeni kaSolomon.
1024Amngqonga ngoko amaYuda, athi kuye, Koda kube nini na usiphongomisile? Ukuba unguye uKristu, sixelele ngokuphandle.
1025Wawaphendula uYesu wathi, Ndinixelele, noko anikholwa; imisebenzi endiyenzayo mna egameni likaBawo, yona iyangqina ngam.
1026Nina anikholwa; kuba aningabo abezimvu zam; njengoko ndanixelelayo.
1027Ezam izimvu ziyaliva ilizwi lam, ndibe nam ndizazi, zindilandela;
1028mna ndizinika ubomi obungunaphakade; azisayi kutshabalala naphakade; akukho namnye uya kuzihlutha esandleni sam.
1029UBawo, ondinike zona, ungaphezu kwabo bonke; akukho bani unako ukuzihlutha esandleni sikaBawo.
1030Mna noBawo sibanye.
1031Abuya ngoko amaYuda achola amatye ukuba amxulube.
1032Wawaphendula uYesu wathi, Mininzi imisebenzi emihle endanibonisayo, ivela kuBawo; nindixuluba ngenxa yawuphi na umsebenzi kuyo?
1033Amphendula amaYuda esithi, Asikuxulu beli msebenzi mhle, sikuxuluba ngokuba unyelisa; nangokuba wena usithi, ungumntu nje, usuke uzenze uThixo.
1034Uwaphendule uYesu wathi, Akubhaliwe na emthethweni wenu, kwathiwa, Mna ndithe ningoothixo?
1035Ukuba uthe bona bangoothixo, eleza kubo ilizwi likaThixo (sibe isibhalo singenakwaphulwa),
1036nitsho na nina ngaye lowo uYise wamngcwalisayo, wamthuma ehlabathini, ukuthi, Uyanyelisa; ngokuba ndithe, NdinguNyana kaThixo?
1037Ukuba andiyenzi imisebenzi kaBawo, musani ukukholwa ndim.
1038Ke ukuba ndiyayenza, nokuba anikholwa ndim, kholwani yiyo yona imisebenzi; ukuze nazi, nikholwe, ukuba uBawo ukum, nam ndikuye.
1039Abuya ngoko afuna ukumbamba; waphuluka ezandleni zawo.
1040Wabuya wemka, waya phesheya kweYordan, kwindawo abebhaptizela kuyo uYohane kuqala; wahlala khona.
1041Kweza babaninzi kuye, bathi, UYohane okunene akenzanga namnye umqondiso; kodwa ke zonke izinto, awazithethayo uYohane ngaye lo, zaziyinene.
1042Bathi abaninzi bakholwa kuye khona apho.
111Ke kaloku, kwaye kusifa umntu othile, uLazaro waseBhetani, umzi wakulooMariya, noMarta udade wabo.
112Yaye ke inguloo Mariya, wayithambisayo iNkosi ngamafutha aqholiweyo, wazisulayo iinyawo zayo ngeenwele zakhe, omnakwabo uLazaro wayesifa.
113Bathumela ngoko oodade babo kuye, besithi, Nkosi, uyabona, lowo umthandayo uyafa.
114Evile ke uYesu wathi, Esi sifo asiyelele kufeni; singenxa yozuko lukaThixo, ukuze uNyana kaThixo azukiswe ngaso.
115Ke uYesu wayebathanda ooMarta nomsakwabo noLazaro.
116Uthe ngoko akuva ukuba uyafa, wakha okunene wahlala kuloo ndawo abekuyo iintsuku ezimbini.
117Waza emveni koko wathi kubo abafundi, Masibuye siye kwelakwaYuda.
118Bathi abafundi kuye, Rabhi, amaYuda ebefuna ngoku ukukuxuluba ngamatye nje, ubuya uye khona na?
119Waphendula uYesu wathi, Akalishumi elinamabini na amaxa emini? Ukuba umntu uthi ahambe emini, akakhubeki; ngokuba elubona ukhanyiselo lweli hlabathi.
1110Ke ukuba umntu uthi ahambe ebusuku, uyakhubeka; ngokuba ukukhanya kungekho kuye.
1111Wazithetha ezi zinto; aze emveni koko athi kubo, ULazaro, umhlobo wethu, ulele; ndiyaya ukuba ndimvuse.
1112Bathi ngoko abafundi bakhe, Nkosi, ukuba ulele, wosinda.
1113Ke yena uYesu ubethetha ukufa kwakhe. Bona ke bebeba uthetha ngokulala ubuthongo.
1114Wandula ngoku uYesu wathi kubo ngokungafihilisiyo, ULazaro ufile.
1115Ndiyavuya ke ngenxa yenu, ukuba ndibe ndingekho khona, ukuze nikholwe. Noko ke masiye kuye.
1116Uthe ngoko uTomas, okuthiwa nguDidimo, kubafundi kunye naye, Masiye nathi, ukuze sife naye.
1117Efikile ngoko uYesu, wafika eselesengcwabeni iintsuku zone.
1118(Ke kaloku iBhetani ibikufuphi neYerusalem, umgama wayo uzizitadiya ezingathi zilishumi elinazihlanu.)
1119Kwakufike abaninzi bakumaYuda, kwabo babenoMarta noMariya, ukuze babakhuze ngaye umnakwabo.
1120Akuva ngoko uMarta ukuba uYesu uyeza, wamhlangabeza; ke yena uMariya wahlala endlwini.
1121Wathi ngoko uMarta kuYesu, Nkosi, ukuba ubulapha, umnakwethu ange engafanga.
1122Nangoku ndiyazi ukuba, ongathi ukucele kuThixo, oko wokunika uThixo.
1123Athi kuye uYesu, Umnakwenu uya kubuya avuke.
1124Athi uMarta kuye, Ndiyazi ukuba uya kubuya avuke eluvukweni, ngomhla wokugqibela.
1125Wathi uYesu kuye, Ndim uvuko, ndim ubomi; lowo ukholwayo kum, nokuba ubethe wafa, wodla ubomi.
1126Bonke abadla ubomi bekholwa kum, abasayi kufa naphakade; uyakholwa na koko?
1127Athi kuye, Ewe, Nkosi, mna ndiyakholwa ukuba wena unguye uKristu, uNyana kaThixo, lowo uzayo ehlabathini.
1128Waza etshilo wemka, waya wabiza uMariya umsakwabo ngasese, wathi, UMfundisi ukho, uyakubiza.
1129Uthi yena, akuva oko, asuke kamsinya eze kuye.
1130(Ke kaloku, uYesu ebengekangeni phakathi komzi; wayesekuloo ndawo uMarta wamhlangabeza ekuyo.)
1131Athe ngoko amaYuda abenaye endlwini emkhuza, akumbona uMariya, ukuba usuke kamsinya waphuma, amlandela esithi, Uya engcwabeni, ukuya kulila khona.
1132UMariya ngoko, akufika apho uYesu ebekhona, akumbona, wawa ezinyaweni zakhe, esithi kuye, Nkosi, ukuba ubulapha, ange engafanga umnakwethu.
1133Uthe ngoko uYesu, akumbona elila, namaYuda abeze naye elila, wafutheka, wakhathazeka.
1134Wathi, Nimbeke phi na? Bathi kuye, Nkosi, yiza ubone.
1135UYesu walila.
1136Ayesithi ngoko amaYuda, Yabonani ke ukumthanda kwakhe!
1137Ke abathile kuwo bathi, Ubengenako na lo, wawavulayo amehlo emfama, ukwenza ukuba nalo angafi?
1138Abuye ke uYesu afutheke ngaphakathi kwakhe, eze engcwabeni. Laye ke lingumqolomba, kubekwe ilitye kuwo.
1139Athi uYesu, Lisuseni ilitye. Athi kuye uMarta, udade wofileyo, Nkosi, uselenuka, kuba untsuku-ne efile.
1140Athi uYesu kuye, Anditshongo na kuwe ukuthi, Ukuba uthe wakholwa, wolubona uzuko lukaThixo?
1141Balisusa ngoko ilitye apho abelele khona ofileyo. Wawaphakamisa ke amehlo uYesu, wakhangela phezulu, wathi, Bawo, ndiyabulela kuwe kuba undivile.
1142Mna ke bendisazi ukuba uhleli undiva; ke nditsho ngenxa yesihlwele esixhonteleyo, ukuze bakholwe ukuba wena wandithuma.
1143Etshilo ke, wadanduluka ngezwi elikhulu, wathi, Lazaro, phuma.
1144Waphuma ofileyo, ebotshiwe iinyawo nezandla ngezithandelo, nobuso bakhe bujikelwe ngeqhiya. Athi kubo uYesu, Mkhululeni, nimyeke ahambe.
1145Ithe ngoko into eninzi kumaYuda, ebize kuMariya, yakuzibona izinto azenzileyo uYesu, yakholwa kuye.
1146Ke abathile kuwo bemka baya kubaFarisi, babaxelela izinto azenzileyo uYesu.
1147Bahlanganisa ngoko ababingeleli abakhulu nabaFarisi intlanganiso yamatyala, bathi, Senza ntoni na? Ngokuba lo mntu wenza imiqondiso emininzi.
1148Ukuba sithe samyeka ngokunje, bonke baya kukholwa kuye; athi ke amaRoma eze, athimbe indawo yethu, kwanohlanga lwethu.
1149Ke kaloku omnye wabo, uKayafa, engumbingeleli omkhulu ngaloo mnyaka, wathi kubo, Anazi nto nina;
1150kananjalo aniqondi ukuba kusilungele, ukuba kufe umntu abe mnye ngenza yabantu, ukuze lungatshabalali uhlanga luphela.
1151Oku ke akakuthethanga kuphuma kuye; wathi, kuba ebengumbingeleli omkhulu ngaloo mnyaka, waprofeta ukuba uYesu uza kulufela uhlanga;
1152kungabi ngenxa yohlanga olo lodwa, kube ngenxa yabantwana bakaThixo abalusali, ukuba abahlanganisele ndawonye.
1153Kususela kuloo mini ngoko babhunga ukuba bambulale.
1154Ngoko uYesu akabanga sahamba ekuhleni phakathi kwamaYuda; wasuka wemka apho, waya ezweni elikufuphi nentlango, emzini ekuthiwa kukwaEfrayim; walibala khona apho nabafundi bakhe.
1155Ke kaloku yayikufuphi ipasika yamaYuda; kwenyuka into eninzi iphuma kwelo zwe, yaya eYerusalem phambi kwayo ipasika, ukuze izenze nyulu.
1156Ayemfuna ngoko uYesu, ethetha odwa, emi etempileni, esithi, Nithini na? akasayi kuza na emthendelekweni?
1157Ke kaloku ababingeleli abakhulu nabaFarisi babewise umthetho wokuthi, ukuba umntu uthe wazi apho akhona, maze axele, ukuze bambambe.
121UYesu ngoko, kwiintsuku ezintandathu eziphambi kwayo ipasika, weza eBhetani, apho ebekhona uLazaro owayefile, awamvusayo kwabafileyo.
122Ngoko bamenzela isidlo khona, waye uMarta elungiselela; uLazaro ke ebengomnye wabo babehleli naye besidla.
123Wathabatha ke uMariya iponti yamafutha aqholiweyo enadusi engangxengelelweyo, exabiso, likhulu; wathambisa iinyawo zikaYesu, wazisula iinyawo zakhe ngeenwele zakhe; yazala ke indlu livumba lamafutha lawo aqholiweyo.
124Uthi ngoko omnye umfundi wakhe, uYuda Sikariyoti, okaSimon, lowo ubeza kumngcatsha,
125Bekungani na ukuba la mafutha aqholiweyo angathengiswa ngeedenariyo ezimakhulu mathathu, kuphiwe amahlwempu?
126Watsho ke, kungengakuba ebekhathalele mahlwempu; watsho kuba ebelisela, inaye ingxowa, ziphathwa nguye izinto ezifakwa kuyo.
127Uthe ngoko uYesu, Myeke; uwalondolozele imini yokungcwatywa kwam.
128Kuba amahlwempu la nihleli ninawo; mna ke anihleli ninam.
129Yathi ngoko indimbane enkulu yakumaYuda yakwazi ukuba ulapho; yeza kungengenxa kaYesu yedwa, yeza ukuze ibone noLazaro, lowo wamvusayo kwabafileyo.
1210Ke kaloku ababingeleli abakhulu babhunga ukuze bambulale noLazaro;
1211ngokuba ngenxa yakhe abaninzi bamaYuda bemka, bakholwa kuye uYesu.
1212Ngengomso indimbane enkulu, eyabe ize emthendelekweni, yakuva ukuba uYesu uyeza eYerusalem,
1213yathabatha amasebe esundu, yaphuma, yaya kumhlangabeza; yadanduluka isithi, Hosana! makabongwe lowo uzayo egameni leNkosi, uKumkani kaSirayeli!
1214UYesu, efumene ke iesilana, wahlala phezu kwalo, njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa,
1215Musa ukoyika, ntombi Ziyon; nanko ukumkani wakho esiza, ehleli phezu kwethole le-esile.
1216Ezi zinto ke abaziqondanga abafundi bakhe ukuqala; bathi kodwa, akuba ezukisiwe uYesu, bandula ukukhumbula ukuba ezi zinto zaye zibhaliwe ngaye, nokuba bazenza ezi zinto kuye.
1217Yaye ingqina ngoko indimbane leyo, ibe inaye oko wambizayo uLazaro ukuba aphume engcwabeni, wamvusa kwabafileyo.
1218Ngenxa yoko indimbane yamhlangabeza; ngokuba yayivile ukuba uwenzile lo mqondiso.
1219Bathe ngoko abaFarisi phakathi kwabo, Niyabona na kodwa ukuba anincedi lutho? Yabonani, ulandelwa lilizwe lonke.
1220Ke kaloku, kwakukho amaGrike athile kwababenyukile, beze kunqula emthendelekweni.
1221Wona ngoko eza kuFilipu waseBhetesayida yelaseGalili, acela kuye, esithi, Nkosi, singa singabona uYesu.
1222Ufika uFilipu axelele uAndreya; bathi kanjalo ooAndreya noFilipu baxelele uYesu.
1223Wabaphendula ke uYesu esithi, Lifikile ilixa lokuba uNyana woMntu azukiswe.
1224Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ukuba ukhozo lwengqolowa oluwe emhlabeni aluthanga lufe, lona luhlala lungabi nto; ke ukuba luthe lwafa, luthwala isiqhamo esininzi.
1225Lowo uwuthandayo umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; lowo uwuthiyayo umphefumlo wakhe kweli hlabathi, wowulondolozela ubomi obungunaphakade.
1226Ukuba ubani uthi andikhonze, makandilandele; apho ndikhona mna, woba khona apho nondikhonzayo; ukuba umntu uthi andikhonze, uBawo wombeka.
1227Kukalokunje umphefumlo wam ukhathazekile, mandithini na? Bawo, ndisindise kweli lixa. Hayi, ndizele khona oku kweli lixa.
1228Bawo, lizukise igama lakho. Kweza ngoko izwi liphuma ezulwini, lisithi, Ndilizukisile, ndiya kubuya ndilizukise.
1229Isihlwele ngoko esasimi seva, sathi, Liyaduduma. Abanye bathi, Kuthethe isithunywa sezulu kuye.
1230Waphendula uYesu wathi, Eli lizwi alibangakho ngenxa yam; libekho ngenxa yenu.
1231Kungoku ukugwetywa kwalo eli hlabathi; kungoku umphathi walo eli hlabathi aya kukhutshelwa phandle.
1232Mna ke, ukuba ndithe ndaphakanyiswa emhlabeni, ndiya kubatsalela bonke kum.
1233(Wayesitsho ke, eqondisa ukuba kukufa kuni na abeza kufa ngako.)
1234Samphendula isihlwele sathi, Thina sivile emthethweni, ukuba uKristu yena uhlala ngonaphakade; utsho ngani na wena ukuthi, UNyana woMntu umelwe kukuthi aphakanyiswe? Ungubani na lo Nyana woMntu?
1235Uthe ngoko uYesu kubo, Liselilifutshane ixesha lokuba ukhanyiso lube nani. Hambani, nisenalo nje ukhanyiso, ukuze ubumnyama bunganiqubuli; lowo uhamba ebumnyameni, akazi apho aya khona.
1236Nisenalo nje ukhanyiso, kholwani kulo ukhanyiso, ukuze nibe ngabokhanyiso. Wazithetha uYesu ezi zinto, wemka, wabazimela.
1237Ke kaloku, nakuba wayenze imiqondiso engaka phambi kwabo, abakholwanga kuye;
1238ukuze ilizwi likaIsaya umprofeti lizaliseke, awalithethayo esithi, Nkosi, ngubani na okholiweyo ludaba lwethu? Nengalo yeNkosi ityhileke kubani na?
1239Ngenxa yoku babengenako ukukholwa, ngokuba uIsaya ubuya athi,
1240Uwamfamekisile amehlo abo, Uyiqaqadekisile nentliziyo yabo, Hleze babone ngamehlo, baqiqe ngentliziyo, Bajike, Ndibaphilise.
1241Ezi zinto wazithetha uIsaya, oko wabubonayo ubuqaqawuli bakhe, wathetha ngaye.
1242Noko ke nakubo abaphathi into eninzi yakholwa kuye; kodwa ngenxa yabaFarisi yayingavumi ngamlomo, hleze ikhutshwe esikhungwini;
1243kuba babethanda uzuko oluvela ebantwini, ngaphezu kozuko oluvela kuThixo.
1244Ke yena uYesu wadanduluka wathi, Lowo ukholwayo kum, akakholwa kum, ukholwa kulowo wandithumayo.
1245Lowo undibonayo, ubona owandithumayo.
1246Mna, lukhanyiso, ndifikile ehlabathini, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kum bangahlali ebumnyameni.
1247Nokuba umntu uthe weva amazwi la am, akakholwa, mna andimgwebi; kuba andize kuligweba ihlabathi, ndize kulisindisa ihlabathi.
1248Lowo undigibayo, angawamkeli amazwi am, unaye omgwebayo; ilizwi endilithethileyo, lilo eliya kumgweba ngomhla wokugqibela.
1249Ngokuba mna andithethanga okuphuma kum; owandithumayo, uBawo ngokwakhe, nguye owandiwisela umthetho wokuba ndithini na, nokuba ndithethe ntoni na.
1250Ndiyazi nokwazi ukuba umthetho wakhe lowo bubomi obungunaphakade. Ngoko izinto endizithethayo mna, njengoko uBawo andixeleleyo, ndenjenjalo ukuzithetha.
131Ke kaloku, phambi komthendeleko wepasika, esazi uYesu ukuba lifikile ilixa lokuba anduluke kweli hlabathi, aye kuYise, ebathandile abakhe abasehlabathini, wabathanda kwada kwasekupheleni.
132Kwakubakho isidlo sangokuhlwa (akubon’ ukuba uMtyholi selekufakile entliziyweni kaYuda Sikariyoti, okaSimon, ukuba amngcatshe),
133esazi uYesu ukuba uYise uzinikele zonke izinto ezandleni zakhe, nokuba waphuma kuThixo, esiya kuThixo:
134usuka esidlweni, azibeke phantsi iingubo zakhe, athabathe itawuli abhinqe;
135aze agalele amanzi esityeni sokuhlambela, aqale ukuzihlamba iinyawo zabafundi, nokuzisula ngetawuli abeyibhinqile.
136Uza ke kuSimon Petros; athi yena kuye, Nkosi, zihlanjwe nguwe na iinyawo zam?
137Waphendula uYesu, wathi kuye, Endikwenzayo mna akukwazi wena okwangoku; kodwa wokuqonda kamva.
138Athi uPetros kuye, Akusayi kuzihlamba iinyawo zam, naphakade. Umphendule UYesu, wathi, Ukuba andithanga ndikuhlambe, akunasabelo nam.
139Athi uSimon Petros kuye, Nkosi, mazingabi ziinyawo zam zodwa, mazibe zizandla nentloko.
1310Uthi uYesu kuye, Kulowo uhlanjiweyo akusafuneki nto, selikukuhlanjwa kweenyawo zodwa; uhlambulukile kwaphela; nani ke nihlambulukile, kodwa aninjalo nonke.
1311Kuba ebemazi lowo umnikelayo; ngenxa yoko wathi, Anihlambulukile nonke.
1312Ngoko, xeshikweni ebezihlambile iinyawo zabo, wazithabatha iingubo zakhe, wabuya wahlala phantsi, wathi kubo, Niyayazi na into endiyenzileyo kuni?
1313Nina ukundibiza nithi ndinguMfundisi, nithi ndiyiNkosi; niyalungisa ukutsho, kuba kunjalo.
1314Ngoko ke, ukuba ndizihlambile iinyawo zenu mna, ndiyiNkosi, ndinguMfundisi, nani nifanele ukuhlambana iinyawo.
1315Kuba ndininike umzekelo, ukuze nani nenze, njengoko ndenze ngako mna kuni.
1316Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe, namthunywa umkhulu kunalowo umthumileyo.
1317Ukuba niyazazi ezi zinto, ninoyolo ukuba nithi nizenze.
1318Andithethi ngani, nonke; ndiyabazi abo mna ndibanyulileyo; oko kwenzeke ukuze isibhalo sizaliseke, esithi, Lowo udla isonka nam, undiphakamisele isithende sakhe.
1319Ndiqala kwangoku ukunixelela kungekehli, ukuze, xa kuthe kwehla, nikholwe ukuba ndinguye.
1320Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Lowo wamkela endithe ndamthuma, wamkela mna; lowo wamkela mna ke, wamkela owandithumayo.
1321Ezithethile uYesu ezi zinto, wakhathazeka emoyeni wakhe, wangqina wathi, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, omnye kuni aba uya kundingcatsha.
1322Baye ngoko abafundi bekhangelana, bethingaza ukuba uthetha bani na.
1323Ke kaloku, bekwayame esifubeni sikaYesu omnye umfundi wakhe, obethandwa nguYesu.
1324Unqwala ngoko uSimon Petros kulowo, ukuba abuze ukuba angaba uthetha bani na.
1325Ayamile ke yena esifubeni sikaYesu, uthi kuye, Nkosi, nguwuphi na?
1326Uphendule uYesu wathi, Ngulowo ndiya kumnika mna iqhekeza, ndakuba ndilithe nkxu. Akulithi nkxu iqhekeza, walinika uYuda Sikariyoti, okaSimon.
1327Waza emveni kweqhekeza elo, wangena uSathana kuye lowo. Uthi ngoko uYesu kuye, Okwenzayo, kwenze kamsinya.
1328Ke kaloku, bekungekho namnye, kwababehleli naye esithebeni, ubesazi ukuba utsho ngani na kuye.
1329Kuba abathile, ekubeni ingxowa ibikuYuda, bebeba uYesu uthi kuye, Thenga ezo zinto sizifunela umthendeleko; mhlawumbi uthi makawanike into amahlwempu.
1330Elithabathile ngoko yena iqhekeza, waphuma kwaoko; kwaye ke kusebusuku.
1331Xeshikweni ngoko aphumileyo, uthi uYesu, Kukalokunje, uNyana woMntu uzukisiwe, naye uThixo uzukisiwe kuye.
1332Ukuba ke uThixo uzukisiwe kuye, noThixo uya kumzukisa kuye ngokwakhe, waye eya kumzukisa kwangoku.
1333Bantwana bam, liselilifutshane ixesha lokuba ndibe nani. Niya kundifuna; njengoko sendithe kumaYuda, Apho ndiya khona mna, aninako ukufika nina: nditsho nakuni ngoku.
1334Ndiniwisela umthetho omtsha, wokuba nithandane, njengoko ndinithandileyo nina, ukuze nani nithandane.
1335Ngayo le nto baya kwazi bonke, ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba nithe nathandana.
1336Wathi uSimon Petros kuye, Nkosi, uya ngaphi na wena? Umphendule uYesu wathi, Apho ndiya khona, akunakundilandela kalokunje; wondilandela ke kamva.
1337Uthi uPetros kuye, Nkosi, kungani na ukuba ndingabi nako ukukulandela ngoku? Ndiya kuwuncamela wena umphefumlo wam.
1338Wamphendula uYesu wathi, Wowuncamela mna na umphefumlo wakho? Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Ayisayi kulila inkuku, ungathanga undikhanyele kathathu.
141Intliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki; kholwani kuThixo, nikholwe nakum.
142Endlwini kaBawo zininzi iindawo zokuhlala; ukuba bekungenjalo, ngendanixelelayo. Ndiyemka, ndiya kunilungisela indawo;
143ukuba ke ndimkile ndaya kunilungisela indawo, ndiya kubuya ndize, ndinamkelele kum ngokwam; ukuze apho ndikhona mna, nibe khona nani.
144Apho ke ndiya khona mna niyakwazi, nendlela niyayazi.
145Uthi uTomas kuye, Nkosi, asazi apho uya khona; singathini na ke ukuyazi indlela?
146Uthi uYesu kuye, Ndim indlela, ndim inyaniso, ndim ubomi; akukho namnye uzayo kuBawo, engezi ngam.
147Ukuba benindazile mna, ninge nimazile noBawo; ngoku ke niyamazi, nimbonile nokumbona.
148Athi uFilipu kuye, Nkosi, sibonise uYihlo, kosanelisa.
149Uthi uYesu kuye, Ndinaxesha lingakanana ndinani nje, akukandazi na, Filipu? Lowo undibonileyo mna umbonile uBawo; utsho ngani na ke wena ukuthi, Sibonise uYihlo?
1410Akukholwa na ukuba mna ndikuye uBawo, abe ke uBawo ekum? Amazwi endiwathethayo mna kuni, andiwathethi ephuma kum; uBawo ke ohleli kum, nguye oyenzayo imisebenzi le.
1411Kholwani ndim, ukuba mna ndikuye uBawo, nokuba uBawo ukum; okanye ke, kholwani ndim ngenxa yayo imisebenzi leyo.
1412Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Lowo ukholwayo kum, imisebenzi endiyenzayo mna, uya kuyenza naye yena; nemikhulu kunale uya kuyenza, ngokuba mna ndisiya kuye uBawo.
1413Nento enithe nayicela egameni lam, ndoyenza yona, ukuze uYise azukiswe ngoNyana.
1414Ukuba nithe nacela into ngegama lam, ndoyenza mna.
1415Ukuba niyandithanda, yigcineni imithetho yam.
1416Mna ndiya kucela kuBawo, aze aninike omnye uMthetheleli, ukuze ahlale nani ngonaphakade:
1417uMoya wenyaniso, lowo lingenako ihlabathi ukumamkela, ngokuba lingamboni, lingamazi nokumazi. Nina ke niyamazi; ngokuba uhleli nani, kanjalo uya kuba kuni.
1418Andiyi kunishiya niziinkedama, ndiyeza kuni.
1419Liselilifutshane ixesha, ukuze ihlabathi lingabi sandibona; ke nina niyandibona; ngokuba ndisidla ubomi mna, nani niya kudla ubomi.
1420Ngaloo mini niya kwazi nina ukuba ndikuye uBawo, nani nikum, nam ndikuni.
1421Lowo unayo imithetho yam ayigcine, nguye ondithandayo; lowo ke undithandayo, uya kuthandwa nguBawo; nam ndiya kumthanda, ndizibonakalalise kuye.
1422Athi kuye uYuda (ingenguye uSikariyoti), Nkosi, kutheni na, le nto uza kuzibonakalalisa kuthi, ungazibonakalalisi kulo ihlabathi?
1423Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Ukuba umntu uyandithanda, woligcina ilizwi lam; wothi uBawo amthande, size kuye, sihlale naye.
1424Lowo ungandithandiyo akawagcini amazwi am; ilizwi enilivayo asililo elam, lelikaBawo owandithumayo.
1425Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni ndisahleli nani.
1426Ke uMthetheleli, uMoya oyiNgcwele, aya kumthuma uBawo egameni lam, yena uya kunifundisa zonke izinto, anikhumbuze zonke izinto endizithethe kuni.
1427Ndishiya uxolo kuni; ndininika uxolo lwam; andininiki njengokunika kwehlabathi. Mayingakhathazeki intliziyo yenu, mayingabi nabugwala.
1428Nivile ukuba ndithe mna kuni, Ndiyemka, ndibuye ndize kuni. Ukuba benindithanda, ngenavuyayo kuba ndathi, Ndiya kuBawo; ngokuba uBawo mkhulu kunam.
1429Ngoku ke ndinixelele kungekehli, ukuze, xa kuthe kwehla, nikholwe.
1430Andisayi kuba sathetha zinto zininzi nani; kuba esiza umphathi weli hlabathi, engenanto nam.
1431Ke, ukuze liqonde ihlabathi ukuba ndiyamthanda uBawo, ndenza njengoko uBawo andiwisele umthetho. Vukani, simke apha.
151Mna ndingumdiliya wenyaniso, umlimi wawo ke nguBawo.
152Amasebe onke akum angathwali siqhamo, uyawasusa; onke athwala isiqhamo uyawathena, ukuze athwale isiqhamo ngakumbi.
153Nina nisenihlambulukile, ngenxa yelizwi endilithethileyo kuni.
154Hlalani kum, mna ndihlale kuni. Njengokuba isebe lingenako ukuthwala isiqhamo ngokwalo, lingahlalanga emdiliyeni, ngokunjalo aninako nani, ningahlalanga kum.
155Umdiliya ndim, nina ningamasebe; lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi; ngokuba, ningekum, aninakwenza nto.
156Ukuba umntu uthe akahlala kum, ulahlelwa phandle njengesebe, ome; baze abantu bawabuthe, bawaphose emlilweni, atshiswe.
157Ukuba nithe nahlala kum, namazwi am ahlala kuni, nocela into enisukuba niyithanda, niyenzelwe..
158Uzukiswa uBawo ngale nto, yokuba nithwale isiqhamo esininzi; niya kuba ngabam abafundi ke.
159Njengoko uBawo wandithandayo, nam ndanithanda; hlalani ke eluthandweni lwam.
1510Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, ndahlala eluthandweni lwakhe.
1511Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze uvuyo lwam luhlale kuni, luthi novuyo lwenu luzaliseke.
1512Nguwo lo umthetho wam, wokuba nithandane, njengoko ndanithandayo nina.
1513Akukho namnye unalo uthando olungaphezu kolu, lokuba ubomi bakhe abuncamele izihlobo zakhe.
1514Nizizihlobo zam nina, ukuba nithi nikwenze konke endinimisela khona mna.
1515Andisatsho ukuthi ningabakhonzi; ngokuba umkhonzi akakwazi okwenziwa yinkosi yakhe; mna ke ndithe nizizihlobo; ngokuba zonke izinto endaziva kuBawo, ndanazisa zona.
1516Asinini enanyula mna; ndim owanyula nina, ndanimisela, ukuze niye nithwale isiqhamo, nokuze isiqhamo senu sihlale; ukuze oko enithe nakucela kuBawo egameni lam, nikunikwe.
1517Ndiniwisela lo mthetho wokuba nithandane.
1518Ukuba ihlabathi linithiyile, yazini ukuba lindithiye kuqala kunani.
1519Ukuba beningabehlabathi, ihlabathi linge likuthanda okwalo; ke ngokuba ningengabehlabathi, ndaninyulayo mna kulo ihlabathi, ngenxa yoko linithiyile ihlabathi.
1520Likhumbuleni ilizwi endalithethayo mna kuni, elithi, Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe. Ukuba banditshutshisa mna, bonitshutshisa nani; ukuba ilizwi lam baligcina, nelenu boligcina.
1521Ke ezi zinto zonke baya kuzenza kuni ngenxa yegama lam, ngokuba bengamazi owandithumayo.
1522Ukuba bendingezanga ndathetha kubo, ngebengabanga nasono; ngoku abanasikhuselo sesono sabo.
1523Lowo uthiye mna, uthiye noBawo.
1524Ukuba bendingenzanga phakathi kwabo imisebenzi engenziwanga mntu wumbi, ngebengabanga nasono; kaloku ke babonile; noko bandithiyile mna noBawo.
1525Kwenzeke ukuze lizaliseke ilizwi elibhaliweyo emthethweni wabo, elithi, Bandithiya kungekho sizathu.
1526Kodwa xa athe wafika uMthetheleli, endiya kumthuma mna kuni evela kuBawo, uMoya wenyaniso ophuma kuBawo, yena wongqina ngam.
1527Nani ke niyangqina, ngokuba beninam kwasekuqaleni.
161Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze ningakhutyekiswa.
162Baya kunigxotha esikhungwini; ewe, kuza ilixa lokuba bonke abanibulalayo, babe bona bakhonza uThixo.
163Ezo zinto baya kuzenza kuni, ngokuba bengamazanga uBawo kwanam.
164Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze, xa lithe lafika ilixa, nizikhumbule ukuba mna ndandinixelele. Ezi zinto ke andinixelelanga kwasekuqaleni, ngokuba bendinani.
165Ngoku ke ndiyemka, ndiya kowandithumayo; akukho namnye kuni undibuzayo, athi, Uya phi na?
166Ngokuba ke ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, iintlungu ziyizalisile intliziyo yenu.
167Noko ke mna ndinixelela inyaniso; kunilungele ukuba ndimke; kuba, ndingemkanga, uMthetheleli akayi kuza kuni; ke, ndithe ndemka, ndiya kumthumela kuni.
168Efikile ke, uya kulohlwaya ihlabathi lidane, ngenxa yesono, nangenxa yobulungisa, nangenxa yomgwebo;
169ngenxa yesono, ngokokuba bengakholwa kum;
1610ngenxa yobulungisa, ngokokuba ndisiya kuBawo, ize ningabi sandibona;
1611ngenxa yomgwebo, ngokokuba umphathi weli hlabathi egwetyiwe.
1612Ndisenezinto ezininzi zokuthetha kuni, kodwa aninako ukuzithwala ngoku.
1613Xa ke athe wafika yena uMoya wenyaniso, uya kunikhokelela kuyo yonke inyaniso; kuba engayi kuthetha okuphuma kuye, uya kuthetha izinto athe waziva, anibikele izinto ezizayo.
1614Yena uya kundizukisa; ngokuba eya kwamkela kokukokwam, aze anibikele ke.
1615Zonke ezo zinto anazo uBawo zezam; ngenxa yoko ndathi, uya kwamkela kokukokwam, aze anibikele.
1616Selilixesha elifutshane, ize ningandiboni; kubuye kube lixesha elifutshane, nibuye nindibone, ngokuba mna ndiya kuBawo.
1617Ithe ngoko inxenye yakubafundi bakhe phakathi kwayo, Yintoni na le ayithethayo kuthi, athi, Liselilixesha elifutshane, nibuye ningandiboni; kubuye kube lixesha elifutshane, nize nindibone; nokuthi, Mna ndiya kuBawo?
1618Babesithi ngoko, Yintoni na le ayithethayo, athi, Lixesha elifutshane? Asiyazi into ayithethayo.
1619Wazi ngoko uYesu ukuba babethanda ukumbuza, wathi kubo, Nibuzana ngale nto na, yokuba ndithe, Selilixesha elifutshane, nize ningandiboni; kubuye kube lixesha elifutshane, nibuye nindibone?
1620Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, niya kulila nihlahlambe, ke lona ihla bathi liya kuvuya; niya kuxhalaba nina, ke ukuxhalaba kwenu kuya kuba luvuyo.
1621Umfazi xa aza kuzala, uyaxhalaba, ngokuba ilixa lakhe lifikile; xa athe ke wazala umntwana, akabi sayikhumbula loo mbandezelo, ngenxa yovuyo lokuba kuzelwe umntu ehlabathini.
1622Nani ke ngoko nixhalabile ngokunje; kodwa ndobuya ndinibone; yaye iya kuvuya intliziyo yenu, novuyo lwenu akukho namnye uya kuluhlutha kuni.
1623Nangaloo mini aniyi kundibuza nto. Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Zonke izinto enithe nazicela kuBawo egameni lam, woninika.
1624Kude kwaba ngokunje, anikaceli nto egameni lam; celani, niya kwamkela, ukuze uvuyo lwenu luzaliseke.
1625Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni ngokuntsonkotha; kuza ilixa endingasayi kuba sathetha kuni ngokuntsonkotha; ndiya kunibikela ngokusekuhleni ngaye uBawo.
1626Ngaloo mini niya kucela egameni lam; anditsho kuni ukuthi, ndiya kunicelela kuBawo;
1627kuba uBawo ngokwakhe uyanithanda; ngokuba nina nindithandile, nakholwa ukuba mna ndaphuma kuThixo.
1628Ndaphuma kuBawo, ndeza ehlabathini; ndibuya ndilishiye ihlabathi, ndiye kuBawo.
1629Bathi kuye abafundi bakhe, Uyabona, ngoku uthetha ngokusekuhleni, akuthethi nto ngakuntsonkotha.
1630Ngoku siyazi, ukuba uyazazi zonke izinto, akusafuneki kuwe ukuba ubani akubuze nto; ngaloo nto siyakholwa ukuba waphuma kuThixo.
1631Wabaphendula uYesu wathi, Niyakholwa na ngoku?
1632Yabonani, kuza ilixa, nakaloku lifikile, lokuba nichithwe, elowo aye kowabo, nindishiye ndedwa; ukanti andindedwa, ngokuba uBawo unam.
1633Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze nibe noxolo kum. Ehlabathini niya kuba nembandezelo; yomelelani, mna ndiloyisile ihlabathi.
171Ezi zinto wazithetha uYesu, wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe wakhangela ezulwini, wathi, Bawo, lifikile ilixa; mzukise uNyana wakho, ukuze noNyana wakho akuzukise;
172njengokuba wamnika igunya kubantu bonke, ukuze bonke omnike bona, abanike ubomi obungunaphakade.
173Bubo ke obu ubomi obungunaphakade, ukuba mabakwazi, wena ukuphela koThixo oyinyaniso, naye uYesu Kristu omthumileyo.
174Mna ndikuzukisile emhlabeni, ndiwufezile umsebenzi obundinikile ukuba ndiwenze.
175Ndizukise ke ngoku, wena Bawo, kuwe ngokwakho, ngozuko ebendinalo kuwe, lingekabikho ihlabathi.
176Ndilibonakalisile igama lakho kubo abantu obundinike bona, bephuma ehlabathini; babengabakho, wabanika mna; ilizwi lakho balibambile ke.
177Ngoku baqondile, ukuba zonke izinto ondinike zona zivela kuwe.
178Ngokuba amazwi ondinike wona, ndiwanike bona; bona bawathabatha, baqonda ngokwenyaniso ukuba ndaphuma kuwe; bakholwa ukuba wena wandithuma.
179Mna ndicelela bona; andiceleli lona ihlabathi, ndicelela abo undinike bona; ngokuba bengabakho.
1710Izinto zonke ezizezam zezakho, zibe ezakho zizezam; ndizukisekile ke kubo.
1711Andisekhona ehlabathini, ke bona basesehlabathini; mna ndiza kuwe. Bawo oyingcwele, balondolozele egameni lakho abo undinike bona, ukuze babe banye njengathi.
1712Oko bendinabo ehlabathini mna, bendibalondolozele egameni lakho; owandinika bona ndibagcinile; akukho namnye kubo utshabaleleyo, ingenguye lowo wentshabalalo, ukuze isibhalo sizaliseke.
1713Ngoku ke ndiza kuwe; nezi zinto ndizithetha ehlabathini, ukuze babe nalo uvuyo lwam luzalisekile kubo.
1714Mna ndibanike ilizwi lakho; laza ihlabathi labathiya, ngokuba bengengabo abehlabathi, njengokuba nam ndingenguye owehlabathi.
1715Andiceli ukuba ubasuse ehlabathini; ndicela ukuba ubagcine kuyo inkohlakalo.
1716Abangabo abehlabathi, njengokuba nam ndingenguye owehlabathi.
1717Bangcwalise ngayo inyaniso yakho; ilizwi lakho liyinyaniso.
1718Njengokuba wandithuma ehlabathini, nam ndibathume bona ehlabathini.
1719Ngenxa yabo ke ndiyazingcwalisa mna, ukuze nabo babe ngabangcwalisiweyo yinyaniso.
1720Andiceleli ke aba bodwa, ndicelela nabo baya kukholwa kum ngelizwi labo;
1721ukuze bonke babe banye; njengokuba wena, Bawo, ukum, mna ndikuwe, ukuze nabo babe banye kuthi; ukuze ihlabathi likholwe ukuba wena wandithuma.
1722Uzuko owandinika lona, ndilunike bona; ukuze babe banye, njengokuba thina sibanye;
1723mna ndikubo, wena ukum, ukuze babe ngabazalisekileyo ntweni-nye; ukuze liqonde ihlabathi ukuba wena undithumile, wabathanda, njengokuba wandithandayo nam.
1724Bawo, ndithanda ukuba nabo abo undinike bona, babe nam, apho ndikhona mna; ukuze balubone uzuko lwam owandinika lona; ngokuba wandithanda kwaphambi kokusekwa kwehlabathi.
1725Bawo olilungisa, ihlabathi lona alikwazanga, ke mna ndikwazile; naba bathe bazi ukuba wena undithumile;
1726ndabazisa igama lakho, ndandiya kubazisa; ukuze uthando ondithande ngalo lube kubo, nam ndibe kubo.
181Akuzithetha uYesu ezi zinto, waphuma nabafundi bakhe, waya phesheya komlanjana oyiKidron, apho kwakukho umyezo, awangena kuwo yena nabafundi bakhe.
182NoYuda ke, lowo umngcatshayo, ubeyazi indawo leyo; kuba uYesu ubesakubutha futhi khona apho nabafundi bakhe.
183Athi ngoko uYuda, ethabathe ibutho lamasoldati namadindala kubabingeleli abakhulu nabaFarisi, eze khona enezikhanyiso nezibane neentonga.
184Ezazi ngoko uYesu zonke izinto ezimzelayo, waphuma, wathi kubo, Nifuna bani na?
185Bamphendula bathi, UYesu umNazarete. Athi kubo uYesu, Ndinguye. Wabemi ke nabo uYuda, lowo umngcatshayo.
186Akutsho ngoko kubo ukuthi, Ndinguye, bahlehla, bawa emhlabeni.
187Wabuya ke wababuza esithi, Nifuna bani na? Bathi ke bona, UYesu umNazarete.
188Waphendula uYesu wathi, Ndinixelele ukuba ndinguye; ukuba ngoko nifuna mna, bayekeni aba bemke;
189ukuze lizaliseke ilizwi awalithethayo elithi, Kwabo undinike bona, andilahlekwanga namnye.
1810Uthe ngoko uSimon Petros, enekrele, walirhola, wamxabela umkhonzi wombingeleli omkhulu, wamnqamla indlebe yokunene; laye igama lomkhonzi lowo linguMalko.
1811Uthe ngoko uYesu kuPetros, Lifake ikrele lakho esingxotyeni salo; indebe andinikileyo uBawo andisayi kuyisela na?
1812Ibutho ngoko lamasoldati, nomthetheli-waka, namadindala amaYuda, bambamba uYesu, bambopha,
1813bamrholela kuAnas kuqala; kuba wayengusomfazi kuKayafa, obengumbingeleli omkhulu ngaloo mnyaka.
1814Ke kaloku uKayafa wayengulowo wabhunga namaYuda ngokuthi, Kuyinto elungileyo, ukuba umntu omnye atshabalale ngenxa yabantu.
1815Ke kaloku uSimon Petros wayemlandela uYesu, naye omnye umfundi. Loo mfundi ke wayesazeka kumbingeleli omkhulu, wangena noYesu entendelezweni yombingeleli omkhulu.
1816UPetros ke ubemi ngasesangweni ngaphandle. Waphuma ke omnye umfundi, lowo ubesazeka kumbingeleli omkhulu, wathetha nomgcini-sango, wamngenisa uPetros.
1817Sithi ngoko isicakazana esingumgcini-sango kuPetros, Ingaba nawe ungowabafundi balo mntu yini na? Athi yena, Andinguye.
1818Ke kaloku kwakumi khona abakhonzi namadindala bebase umlilo wamalahle, ngokuba bekubanda; bamana besotha, waye ke uPetros emi nabo esotha.
1819Umbingeleli omkhulu ngoko wambuza uYesu ngabafundi bakhe, nangayo imfundiso yakhe.
1820Wamphendula uYesu wathi, Mna ndathetha ngokungafihlisiyo kulo ihlabathi; mna bendihleli ndifundisa endlwini yesikhungu nasetempileni, apho amaYuda ebesakubuthelana khona, evela kumacala onke; emfihlekweni andithethanga nto.
1821Yini na ukuba ubuze kum? Buza kwabo bayivileyo into endayithetha kubo; uyabona, aba bayakwazi oko ndakuthethayo.
1822Ke kaloku, akubon’ ukuba utshilo, elinye lamadindala, elalimi khona, lammonxoza uYesu, lathi, Wenjenje na ukumphendula umbingeleli omkhulu?
1823Waliphendula uYesu wathi, Ukuba ndithethe kakubi, ngqinela ububi obo; kodwa ukuba ndithethe kakuhle, undibethelani na?
1824UAnas wamthumela ebotshiwe kuKayafa umbingeleli omkhulu.
1825Ke kaloku uSimon Petros wayemi esotha; bathi ngoko kuye, Ingaba nawe ungowabafundi bakhe yini na? Wakhanyela yena wathi, Andinguye.
1826Athi omnye umkhonzi wombingeleli omkhulu, osisalamane salowo uPetros wamnqamla indlebe, Andikubonanga mna Yini na emyezweni unaye?
1827Wabuya ke wakhanyela uPetros. Yasuka yalila kwaoko inkuku.
1828Bamsusa ngoko uYesu kuKayafa, bamsa kwindlu yerhuluneli; bekukusasa ke oko; bona abangenanga endlwini yerhuluneli, ukuze bangadyobheki, ukuze bayidle ipasika.
1829Waphuma ke uPilato waya kubo, wathi, Nimisa tyala lini na kuye lo mntu?
1830Baphendula bathi kuye, Ukuba ebengenguye umenzi wobubi yena, singe singamnikelanga kuwe.
1831Wathi ngoko uPilato kubo, Mthabatheni nina, nimgwebe ngesiko lenu. Athi ngoko amaYuda kuye, Akuvumelekile kuthi ukuba sibulale umntu;
1832ukuze ilizwi likaYesu lizaliseke awalithethayo, eqondisa ukuba kukufa kuni na abeza kufa ngako.
1833Wabuya ngoko wangena uPilato endlwini yerhuluneli, wambiza uYesu, wathi kuye, Wena unguye na uKumkani wamaYuda?
1834Umphendule uYesu, wathi, Uyithetha le nto iphuma kuwe, wayixelelwa ngabanye ngam, sini na?
1835Waphendula uPilato wathi, Kanene, mna ndingumYuda na? Luhlanga lwakowenu nababingeleli abakhulu abakunikeleyo kum; wenze ntoni na?
1836Waphendula uYesu wathi, Ubukumkani bam asibubo obeli hlabathi; ukuba bebububo obeli hlabathi ubukumkani bam, amakhonza am ange ezama, ukuze ndinganikelwa kumaYuda; ngoku ke ubukumkani bam asibobalapha.
1837Wathi ke uPilato kuye, Hina ke, ungukumkani na wena? Waphendula uYesu wathi, Nawe uthi ndingukumkani Mna ndizalelwe oku; ndizele oku ehlabathini, ukuze ndiyingqinele inyaniso. Bonke abangabenyaniso bayaliva ilizwi lam.
1838Athi uPilato kuye, Yintoni na yona inyaniso? Akuba etshilo, wabuya waphuma waya kumaYuda, athi kuwo, Mna andifumani nalinye ityala kuye.
1839Ke kaloku ninesiko lokuba ndinikhululele abe mnye ngepasika; ninga ke ndinganikhululela uKumkani wamaYuda na?
1840Babuya ngoko bonke bankqangaza, besithi, Mayingabi ngulo, mayibe nguBharabhas. Waye ke uBharabhas lo esisihange.
191Waza ngoko uPilato wamthabatha uYesu, wamtyakatya.
192Amasoldati, eluke isithsaba ngameva, asibeka phezu kwentloko yakhe, amthi wambu ngengubo ebomvu,
193amana esithi, Aa! Kumkani wamaYuda! ammonxoza.
194Wabuya ngoko waphuma phandle uPilato; athi kubo, Yabonani, ndimzisa phandle kuni, ukuze nazi ukuba andifumani nalinye ityala kuye.
195Waphuma phandle ngoko uYesu, enxibe isithsaba sameva nengubo ebomvu; athi uPilato kubo, Nanko umntu.
196Bathe ngoko, bakumbona ababingeleli abakhulu namadindala, bankqangaza, besithi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Athi kubo uPilato, Mthabatheni nina, nimbethelele emnqamlezweni; kuba mna andifumani tyala kuye.
197Amphendula amaYuda athi, Thina sinomthetho; ngomthetho wethu ke ufanele ukufa, ngokuba ezenze uNyana kaThixo.
198Uthe ngoko uPilato, akuliva elo lizwi, woyika ngakumbi.
199Wabuya wangena endlwini yerhuluneli, wathi kuYesu, Ungowaphi na wena? Ke uYesu akamphendulanga.
1910Athi ngoko uPilato kuye, Akuthethi na kum? Akwazi na ukuba ndinegunya lokukubethelela emnqamlezweni, nokuba ndinegunya lokukukhulula?
1911Uphendule uYesu wathi, Unge ungenagunya nakanye kum, ukuba ubungalinikwanga livela phezulu; ngenxa yoko, ondinikeleyo kuwe unesono esikhulu ngakumbi.
1912Ngenxa yoko wayefuna uPilato ukumkhulula; kodwa amaYuda ayenkqangaza esithi, Ukuba uthe wamkhulula lo, akusihlobo sikaKesare; bonke abazenza ukumkani bachasa uKesare.
1913Elivile ngoko uPilato eli lizwi, wamzisa phandle uYesu, wahlala esihlalweni sokugweba kwindawo ekuthiwa, siSandlalo saMatye; ke ngesiHebhere yiGabhata.
1914Ke kaloku kwakuyimini yokulungiselela ipasika, ilixa ke ngathi lilelesithandathu; athi kumaYuda, Nanko uKumkani wenu!
1915Ke wona ankqangaza esithi, Susa, susa, mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Athi uPilato kuwo, Ndimbethelele emnqamlezweni na uKumkani wenu? Baphendula ababingeleli abakhulu bathi, Thina asinakumkani ungenguye uKesare.
1916Wandula ngoko ukumnikela kubo, ukuze abethelelwe emnqamlezweni.
1917Bamthabatha ke uYesu, bemka naye. Ethwele umnqamlezo wakhe, waphuma waya endaweni ekuthiwa, yeyokakayi, ekuthiwa ngesiHebhere yiGologota,
1918apho bambethelela khona emnqamlezweni, nabanye naye abangabambi bebabini, ngeenxa zombini, uYesu ke ephakathi.
1919Ke kaloku uPilato wabhala nombhalo, wawubeka phezu komnqamlezo. Kwaye ke kubhaliwe kwathiwa: uYesu waseNazarete, uKumkani wamaYuda.
1920Loo mbhalo ngoko into eninzi yamaYuda yawulesa; ngokuba indawo, uYesu awayebethelelwe kuyo emnqamlezweni, yayikufuphi nomzi; kwaye ke kubhaliwe ngesiHebhere, nangesiGrike, nangesiRoma.
1921Babesithi ngoko kuPilato ababingeleli abakhulu bamaYuda, Musa ukubhala uthi, UKumkani wamaYuda; bhala uthi, Wathi yena, NdinguKumkani wamaYuda.
1922Waphendula uPilato wathi, Endikubhalileyo ndikubhalile.
1923Athe ngoko amasoldati, xa abembethelele emnqamlezweni uYesu, azithabatha iingubo zakhe, enza izabelo ezine, laelo isoldati lanesabelo; kwanengubo yangaphantsi. Ke kaloku, ingubo yangaphantsi yabe ingenamthungo; yayilukiwe iphela, ithabathele phezulu.
1924Atshono ngoko ukuthi, Masingayikrazuli, masiqashise ngayo ukuba yoba yekabani na; ukuze isibhalo sizaliseke esithi, Babelana ngeengubo zam, Benza amaqashiso ngesambatho sam. Amasoldati ke ngoko azenza ezi zinto.
1925Kwakumi ke ngasemnqamlezweni kaYesu unina, nomsakwabo bonina, uMariya umkaKleyopa, noMariya waseMagadala.
1926UYesu ngoko, akumbona unina, naye umfundi abemthanda emi khona, uthi kuye unina, Mfazi, nanko unyana wakho!
1927Andule athi kumfundi lowo, Nanko unyoko! Wathi kwakwelo lixa, umfundi lowo wamthabatha, wamsa kwikhaya lakhe.
1928Emveni koko, uYesu, esazi ukuba zonke izinto sezifezekile, ukuze sifezeke isibhalo, wathi, Ndinxaniwe.
1929Bekumi ke isitya sizele yiviniga; bazalisa ke bona imfunxa ngeviniga; bayibeka phezu kwehisope, bayisa emlonyeni wakhe.
1930Xa ngoko uYesu wabeyamkele iviniga, wathi, Kugqityiwe! Wathoba intloko, wawunikela umoya wakhe.
1931AmaYuda ngoko, ukuze imizimba ingahlali emnqamlezweni ngesabatha, ekubeni yayiyimini yokulungiselela isabatha (kuba loo sabatha ibingumhla omkhulu), acela kuPilato ukuba imilenze yabo yaphulwe, basuswe.
1932Eza ngoko amasoldati, ayaphula okunene imilenze yowokuqala, neyomnye obebethelelwe emnqamlezweni naye.
1933Kodwa akufika kuYesu, akubona ukuba uselefile, akayaphula imilenze yakhe.
1934Lesuka elinye isoldati lamhlaba ngomkhonto ecaleni; kwaoko kwaphuma igazi namanzi.
1935Nalowo ubonileyo ungqinile, nobungqina bakhe buyinyaniso; naye yena uyazi ukuba uthetha inyaniso, ukuze nani nikholwe.
1936Kuba zenzeka ezi zinto, ukuze isibhalo sizaliseke esithi, Akuyi kutyunyuzwa thambo lakhe.
1937Kanjalo nesinye isibhalo sithi, Baya kukhangela kulowo bamhlabileyo.
1938Ke kaloku emveni koko, uYosefu waseArimati (engumfundi kaYesu, ke enguye ngokufihlakeleyo ngenxa yokoyika amaYuda), wacela kuPilato, ukuba awususe umzimba kaYesu. Waza uPilato wavuma; weza ke wawususa umzimba kaYesu.
1939Kwafika ke noNikodemo (lowo wezayo kuYesu ebusuku ekuqaleni), ephethe impithikezo yemore nekhala, ngathi iziiponti ezilikhulu ngobunzima.
1940Bawuthabatha ke umzimba kaYesu, bawubopha ngezisongelo zelinen, ndawonye nobulawu, njengoko kulisiko lokungcwaba kumaYuda.
1941Ke kaloku, bekukho kuloo ndawo abebethelelwe kuyo emnqamlezweni umyezo; nasemyezweni apho bekukho ingcwaba elitsha, ekungazanga kubekwe mntu kulo.
1942UYesu ngoko bambeka khona apho, ngenxa yemini yokulungiselela kwamaYuda; ngokuba ingcwaba belikufuphi.
201Ke kaloku, ngolokuqala usuku lweveki, kuza engcwabeni uMariya waseMagadala kusasa, kusentsundu, alibone ilitye lisusiwe engcwabeni.
202Agidime ngoko, eze kuSimon Petros nakomnye umfundi, lowo ubethandwa nguYesu, athi kubo, Bayisusile iNkosi engcwabeni; asazi nalapho bayibeke khona.
203Waphuma ngoko uPetros nomnye umfundi lowo, besiya engcwabeni.
204Ke kaloku baye begidima bona bobabini kunye; waza omnye umfundi lowo wamshiya ngamendu uPetros, wafika kuqala engcwabeni.
205Uthi akuqondela, azibone izisongelo zelinen abesongelwe kuzo zizodwa; akangenanga ke noko.
206Afike ngoko uSimon Petros emlandela, angene engcwabeni, azibone izisongelo zelinen abesongelwe kuzo zizodwa;
207neqhiya ebisentlokweni yakhe, ingadibene neelinen abesongelwe kuzo, isongiwe yodwa ndaweni ithile.
208Wandula ngoko wangena nomnye umfundi, lowo ubefike kuqala engcwabeni, wabona, wakholwa;
209kuba babengekasazi isibhalo esithi, umelwe kukuthi avuke kwabafileyo.
2010Babuya ngoko abafundi bagoduka.
2011Ke kaloku uMariya ebemi ngaphandle ngasengcwabeni, elila; xa ke ebelila, waqondela engcwabeni.
2012Wabona izithunywa zezulu ezibini, zam bethe ezimhlophe, zihleli; esinye ngasentloko, esinye ngasezinyaweni, apho wawulele khona umzimba kaYesu.
2013Zithi zona kuye, Mfazi, ulilelani na? Athi kuzo; Bayisusile iNkosi yam; andazi apho bayibeke khona.
2014Akutsho wajika, wambona uYesu emi; wayengazi ke ukuba nguYesu.
2015Athi uYesu kuye, Mfazi, ulilelani na? ufuna bani na? Yena, esiba ngumgcini-myezo, uthi kuye, Nkosi, ukuba umsusile apha, ndixelele apho umbeke khona; mna ndiye kumthabatha.
2016Athi uYesu kuye, Mariya! Wajika yena wathi kuye, Rabhoni! (oku kukuthi, Mfundisi).
2017Uthi uYesu kuye, Ungandichukumisi; kuba andikanyuki ndiye kuBawo; ke yiya kubazalwana bam, uthi kubo, Ndiyenyuka, ndiya kuBawo, kuYihlo; kuThixo wam, kuThixo wenu.
2018Afike uMariya waseMagadala, ababikele abafundi ukuba uyibonile iNkosi; yathetha ezi zinto kuye.
2019Kwakuhlwa ngoko, ngolokuqala usuku lweveki, zakubon’ ukuba iingcango zivaliwe, apho babehlanganisene khona abafundi, ngenxa yokoyika amaYuda, wafika uYesu wema phakathi, wathi kubo, Uxolo malube nani. Akutsho, wababonisa izandla necala lakhe.
2020Bavuya ngoko abafundi bakuyibona iNkosi.
2021Waphinda ngoko uYesu wathi kubo, Uxolo malube nani; njengokuba uBawo endithumile mna, nam ndiyanithuma nina.
2022Akutsho wabaphefumlela, wathi kubo, Yamkelani uMoya oyiNgcwele;
2023abazono nithe nazixolela, bazixolelwe; nabazono nithe nazibamba, zibambekile.
2024Ke kaloku uTomas, omnye kwabalishumi elinababini, okuthiwa nguDidimo, wayengenabo oko wafikayo uYesu.
2025Babesithi ngoko kuye abanye abafundi, Siyibonile iNkosi. Wathi ke yena kubo, Ukuba andithanga ndilibone inxeba lezikhonkwane ezandleni zayo, ndiwufake umnwe wam enxebeni lezikhonkwane, ndisifake isandla sam ecaleni layo, andisayi kukholwa.
2026Baye emveni kweentsuku ezisibhozo bekwangaphakathi abafundi bakhe; wayenabo noTomas. Afike uYesu, zakubon’ ukuba zivaliwe iingcango, eme phakathi, athi, Uxolo malube nani.
2027Andule athi kuTomas, Ethe apha umnwe wakho, uzibone izandla zam; ethe isandla sakho, usifake ecaleni lam; musa ukuba ngongakholwayo, yiba ngokholwayo.
2028Uphendule uTomas, wathi kuye, Nkosi yam, Thixo wam!
2029Athi uYesu kuye, Ngokuba undibonile, Tomas, ukholiwe. Banoyolo abo bangabonanga, bakholwa noko.
2030Mininzi ke okunene neminye imiqondiso awayenzayo uYesu emehlweni abafundi bakhe, engabhalwanga kuyo le ncwadi;
2031kodwa le ibhalelwe ukuze nikholwe ukuba uYesu unguye uKristu, uNyana kaThixo, nokuze nithi, nikholwa, nibe nabo ubomi egameni lakhe.
211Emva koko waphinda uYesu wazibonakalalisa kubafundi ngaselwandle lwaseTibheriya. Wenjenje ke ukuzibonakalalisa.
212Babendawonye uSimon Petros, noTomas okuthiwa nguDidimo, noNataniyeli waseKana yelaseGalili, nabakaZebhedi, nabanye kubafundi bakhe bebabini.
213Athi uSimon Petros kubo, Ndiya kubambisa iintlanzi. Bathi kuye, Nathi siyaya nawe. Baphuma bangena emkhombeni kwaoko. Ngobo busuku ababamba nto.
214Ke kaloku, kwakuba sekusile, wema uYesu elunxwemeni; noko abafundi bebengazi ukuba nguYesu.
215Athi ngoko uYesu kubo, Bantwana, aninanto idliwayo na? Bamphendula bathi, Hayi.
216Wathi ke yena kubo, Wuphoseni umnatha ngecala lasekunene lomkhombe, nofumana. Baphosa ke; ababa saba nako ukuwutsala, ngenxa yenkitha yeentlanzi.
217Athi ngoko loo mfundi ubethandwa nguYesu kuPetros, YiNkosi. Uthe ngoko uSimon Petros, akuva ukuba yiNkosi, wabhinqa ingubo yokwaleka (kuba ebeze), waziphosa elwandle.
218Ke kaloku abanye abafundi beza ngomkhonjana (kuba bebengemgama emhlabeni, ngathi bebekubhite zimakhulu mabini), bewuzizilizisa umnatha weentlanzi.
219Bathi ngoko, bakuwelela emhlabeni, babona umlilo wamalahle ukhona, nentlanzi ikuwo, nesonka.
2110Athi uYesu kubo, Zisani kwezo ntlanzi nizibambise ngokunje.
2111Wangena emkhombeni uSimon Petros, wawutsalela emhlabeni umnatha, uzele ziintlanzi ezinkulu, zilikhulu elinamanci mahlanu anantathu; nakuba bezingako njalo, awujacekanga umnatha.
2112Athi uYesu kubo, Yizani nomule. Akubangakho namnye ke kubafundi waba nabuganga bakumbuza esithi, Ungubani na? besazi nje ukuba yiyo iNkosi.
2113Uza ke uYesu, asithabathe isonka, abanike, ayenjenjalo nentlanzi.
2114Oku sekukokwesithathu ezibonakalalisa uYesu kubafundi bakhe, evukile kwabafileyo.
2115Bathi ke bakomula, athi uYesu kuSimon Petros, Simon kaYona, uyandithanda na ngaphezu kwaba? Athi kuye, Ewe, Nkosi, uyazi wena ukuba ndiyakuthanda. Athi kuye, Dlisa amatakane am.
2116Aphinde athi kuye okwesibini, Simon kaYona, uyandithanda na? Athi kuye, Ewe, Nkosi, uyazi wena ukuba ndiyakuthanda. Athi kuye, Yalusa izimvu zam.
2117Athi kuye okwesithathu, Simon kaYona, uyandithanda na? Waba buhlungu uPetros, kuba ethe kuye okwesithathu, Uyandithanda na? Wathi kuye, Nkosi, uyazazi izinto zonke wena; uyaqonda wena ukuba ndiyakuthanda. Athi uYesu kuye, Dlisa izimvu zam.
2118Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Oko ubusemtsha ubuzibhinqisa ngokwakho, uhambe apho uthanda khona; kodwa xa uthe waluphala, uya kuzolula izandla zakho, ubhinqiswe ngomnye, akuse apho ungathandiyo.
2119Wakutsho ke oku, eqondisa ukuba kukufa kuni na abeya kuzukisa uThixo ngako. Akutsho wathi kuye, Ndilandele.
2120Ejikile ke uPetros, ubone umfundi obethandwa nguYesu elandela: lowo wayayame esifubeni sakhe esidlweni, wathi, Nkosi, ngubani na okunikelayo?
2121UPetros akumbona lowo, uthi kuYesu, Nkosi, lo woba yini na?
2122Athi uYesu kuye, Ukuba ndithi ndithande ukuba yena ahlale ndide ndifike, iyini na loo nto kuwe? Landela mna wena.
2123Laphuma ngoko eli lizwi, laya kubazalwana, ukuba loo mfundi akayi kufa. Waye uYesu engatshongo kuye ukuthi, Akayi kufa; wathi, Ukuba ndithi ndithande ukuba yena ahlale ndide ndifike, iyini na loo nto kuwe?
2124Nguye lo umfundi ongqinayo ngezi zinto, wazibhala ezi zinto; kanjalo siyazi ukuba ubungqina bakhe buyinene.
2125Kukho ke nezinye izinto ezininzi awazenzayo uYesu; ezingathi zithe zabhalwa ngazinye, ndithi nehlabathi eli alingezibambi iincwadi ezo zingabhalwayo. Amen.
