Yoana 1
1 Kubwambilo gwaliga gulio Omusango, no Musango aliga amwi na Nyamuanga, Na Musango aligaali Nyamuanga.
Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, uLizwi wayeloNkulunkulu, njalo uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu.
2 Oyo, Musango, mubwambilo aliga amwi Na Nyamuanga.
WayeloNkulunkulu ekuqaleni.
3 Bhinu byona byakolelwe okutula kumwene atakabheye omwene chitalio nolwo chinu chimwi echo chakakolelwe.
Izinto zonke zenziwa ngaye; ngaphandle kwakhe kube akukho okwenziwayo.
4 Bwikalo bhaye bhaliga bhuanga, no bhuanga bwaliga bwelu bwa bhanu bhona.
Kwakukhona ukuphila kuye, lokho kuphila kwakuyikukhanya kwabantu.
5 Bwelu nibwatika muchisute, nolwo echisute chitalisimishe.
Ukukhanya kukhanya emnyameni, kodwa umnyama awukakuzwisisi.
6 Aligaalio omunu oyo aliga atumwilwe okusoka Kunyamuanga unu lisina aliga Yohana.
Kwafika umuntu ethunywe nguNkulunkulu, ibizo lakhe wayenguJohane.
7 Ejile okubhambalila obwelu, koleleki bhatule okwikilisha okutula kumwene.
Weza njengomfakazi ezoqinisa mayelana lalokho kukhanya ukuze kuthi ngaye bonke abantu bakholwe.
8 Yohana aliga atali bwelu, nawe ejile okubhambalila obwelu.
Yena qobo lwakhe wayengesi lokho kukhanya; weza nje njengomfakazi wokukhanya lokho.
9 Obhwo bhwaliga bhuli bwelu bhwe echimali obhwo bhwaliga nibhuja muchalo obhwelu Obhwo nibhusosha obhwelu kubhuli munu.
Ukukhanya okuliqiniso okunika ukukhanya emuntwini wonke kwakusiza emhlabeni.
10 Aligali musi, na isi yakolelwe okutula kumwene, na isi itamumenyele.
Wayesemhlabeni, kodwa lanxa umhlaba wenziwa ngaye, umhlaba kawumazanga.
11 Ejile kwe bhinu byaye, na bhamu bhatamulamiye.
Weza kulokho okwakungokwakhe, kodwa khona kakumemukelanga.
12 Nawe kwa bhafu bhanu bhamulamiye, bhekilisishe lisina lyaye, kwa bhanu abhayanile okubha bhana bha Nyamuanga,
Ikanti kulabo bonke abamamukelayo, kulabo abakholwayo ebizweni lakhe, wabapha ilungelo lokuba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu,
13 Bhanu bhatebhuywe, atali kwa manyinga, okubha kwe lyenda lyo munu, nawe ku Nyamuanga wenyele.
abantwana abangazalwanga ngokwemvelo, kumbe ngokukhetha komuntu, loba ngokufuna kwendoda kodwa bezelwe nguNkulunkulu.
14 Newe musango nakolwa mubhili nekala kweswe, nichilola likusho lyaye, likusho lilabha lya munu wenyele oyo ejile okusoka ku Lata, ejuye echigongo ne chimali.
ULizwi waba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu. Siyibonile inkazimulo yakhe; inkazimulo yeNdodana eyiyo yodwa, eyavela kuYise, igcwele umusa leqiniso.
15 Yohana nabhambalila omwene naikila ingulu ati,”Unu niwe naikile emisango jaye ninaika ati,”uliya kaja kulwani ni mukulu kukila anye, okubha abheyeo nichali anye.”
UJohane wafakaza ngayo. Wamemeza esithi, “Lo nguye engangikhuluma ngaye ngisithi, ‘Lowo oza ngemva kwami usengedlule ngoba wayevele ephambi kwami.’”
16 Kwo kubha okusoka mukukumila bwaye eswe chiyabhilwe kwe chigongo.
Ngenxa yokujula komusa wakhe sonke sesamukele umusa emuseni esasivele siwuphiwe.
17 Okubha ebhilagilo bhiletelwe okutulila ku Musa. Echigongo nechimali byejile ku Yesu Kirsto.
Ngoba umthetho walethwa ngoMosi; umusa leqiniso kweza ngoJesu Khristu.
18 Atalio munu oyo amulolele Nyumuanga mwanya gwona. Omunu wenyele unu ni Nyamuanga, ali muchifubha cha Lata, amukolelede omwene bhamumenyega.
Kakho osewake wambona uNkulunkulu, kodwa iNdodana eyiyo yodwa, yona enguNkulunkulu njalo eseceleni eduze kukaYise, isimenze waziwa.
19 Na bhunu nibhubhambasi bwa Yohana omwanya abhagabhisi na bhalawi bhamutumele kwaye na Bhayahudi nibhamubhusha ati, Awe niga?”
Lobu yibo ubufakazi bukaJohane lapho abakhokheli bamaJuda aseJerusalema abathuma khona abaphristi labaLevi ukuyambuza ukuthi wayengubani.
20 Nawe atetimatile atali, nabhasubya,”Anye atali Krisito.”
Kehlulekanga ukuzichaza, kodwa wazichaza ekhululekile wathi, “Kangisuye uKhristu.”
21 Kutyo nibhamubhusha ati,”kulwejo awe ni niga woli?” Awe ni Eliya? Naika ati,”Anye nitali.”nibhaika ati, Awe ni muligi? Nasubya,”Uli.”
Bambuza bathi, “Pho ungubani na? Ungu-Elija yini?” Wathi, “Kangisuye.” “Ungumphrofethi na?” Waphendula wathi, “Hatshi.”
22 Nibhamubwila ati,”Awe nawega, koleleki chibhayane lisubyo abhobhachitule”? Owibhambalilaatiki awe wenyele?”
Bacina ngokuthi, “Ungubani? Siphe impendulo esizayisa kulabo abasithumileyo. Uzibiza ngokuthi ungubani na?”
23 Naika, “anye ni bhulaka bhaye unu ali ibhala:'Mugololele injila ya Lata bhugenyi Alabha omulagi Isaya kutyo aikile.”
UJohane wabaphendula ngamazwi ka-Isaya umphrofethi wathi, “Ngiyilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala lisithi, ‘Lungiselani iNkosi indlela iqonde.’”
24 Bhaliga bhali bhanu bhatumilwe okusoka ku bhafalisayo. Nibhamubhusha ati ni bhaika,
Kwasekusithi abaFarisi ababethunyiwe
25 “Kulwaki oubhatija labha awe atali Kristo amwi Eliya amwi mulagi?”
bambuza bathi, “Kungani pho ubhaphathiza nxa ungasuye uKhristu, kumbe u-Elija loba umphrofethi na?”
26 Yohana nabhasubya naika ati,”enibhatija kwa manji. Nolwo kutyo agati yemwe kemelegulu omunu oyo mutakumenya.
UJohane waphendula wathi, “Mina ngibhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa phakathi kwenu kumi elingamaziyo.
27 Unu niwe kaja kulwanye. Anye niteile kugesha olukobha lwa bhilato byaye.”
Nguye lowo ozayo ngemva kwami, mina engingafanelanga ukuthukulula imichilo yamanyathela akhe.”
28 Emisago jinu jitagendeleye eyo Bethania, kungego ya Yorodani enu Yohana aliga nabhatija.
Konke lokhu kwenzeka eBhethani ngaphetsheya kweJodani lapho uJohane ayebhaphathiza khona.
29 Mwejo Yohana namulola Yesu naja kwaye naika ati,”Lola omwana wa inama wa Nyamuanga unu kagega ebhibhibhi bye chalo!
Ngelanga elilandelayo uJohane wabona uJesu esiza kuye wathi, “Khangelani, nanti iWundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa isono somhlaba!
30 Oyo niwe naikile emisango jaye ninaika ati,” oyo kaja inyuma yani ni mukulu kukila anye, okubha niwe atangatiye.'
Nguye lo engangimutsho ngize ngithi, ‘Umuntu ozayo ngemva kwami usengedlule ngoba wayevele ephambi kwami.’
31 Nitamumenyele omwene, nawe yakolelwe kutyo koleleki abhulisibwe ku Israeli, ati nejile nimbatija kwa manji.”
Mina ngokwami bengingamazi, kodwa okwenze ngeza ngibhaphathiza ngamanzi kwakuyikwenzela ukuthi abonakaliswe ku-Israyeli.”
32 Yohana nabhambalila,”nalola Omwoyo neka okusoka mulwile lwa injibha, ni mubhako ingulu yaye.
UJohane waseletha lobubufakazi: “Ngabona uMoya esehla evela ezulwini enjengejuba wahlala phezu kwakhe.
33 Anye nitamumenyele nawe omwene oyo antumile nibhatije kwa manji nambwila ati, unu ulilola Omwoyo neka neyanja ingulu yaye, Oyo niwe kabhatija kwa Omwoyo Mwelu.'
Lami uqobo lwami ngangingamazi, kodwa lowo owangithumayo ukubhaphathiza ngamanzi wathi, ‘Lowomuntu ozabona uMoya usehla uhlala kuye nguye kanye ozabhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.’
34 Nindola na nimbambalila ati onu ni Mwana wa Nyamuanga.”
Sengibonile yikho sengifakaza ukuthi lo ungoKhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.”
35 Mwejo Yohana aliga emeleguyu amwi na bheigisibwa bhaye bhabhili,
Ngelanga elilandelayo uJohane wayekhonapho, elabafundi bakhe ababili.
36 Bhamulolele Yesu nalibhata na Yohana naika ati, Lola omwana wa inama wa Nyamuanga?”
Wathi ebona uJesu esedlula lapho wathi, “Khangelani, nanti iWundlu likaNkulunkulu!”
37 Abheigisibwa bhabhili nibhamugwa Yohana naika ati bhamulubhe Yesu.
Abafundi ababili labo bathi bekuzwa lokhu basebelandela uJesu.
38 Lindi Yesu nainduka na bhalola abheigisibwa bhaye nibhamulubha, nabhabwila ati, Omuyenjaki?” Ni bhamusubya ati,”Rabbi, (obhugajulo bwaye'mwiigisha,'wikaye aki?”
UJesu wathi enyemukula wababona bemlandela, wababuza wathi, “Lifunani na?” Bathi, “Rabi” (okutsho ukuthi “Mfundisi”), “uhlala ngaphi?”
39 Nabhabwila ati,”muje mulole.”Mbe nibhagenda nibhalola anu aliga ekaye; nibheyanja amwi nage lusiku olwo, Okubha yaliga uti saa ekumi kutya.
Waphendula wathi, “Wozani, lizabona.” Ngakho bahamba bayabona lapho ayehlala khona, batshona laye mhlalokho. Kwakungaba lihola letshumi.
40 Oumwi wa bhaliya bhabhili abhobhamunguwe Yohana naika no kumulubha Yesu aliga Andrea, owabho Simoni Petro.
U-Andreya, umfowabo kaSimoni Phethro wayengomunye wababili abezwayo okwakukhulunywa nguJohane njalo abayibo abalandela uJesu.
41 Namulola omula wabho Simoni na mubwila ati,”Chamulolele Masiya”(obhugajulo bwalyo ati Kristo).
Into yokuqala ayenzayo u-Andreya yikudinga umfowabo uSimoni wamtshela wathi, “Sesimfumene uMesiya” (okutsho uKhristu).
42 Namuleta ku Yesu. Yesu namulolelela naika ati,”Awe ni Simoni omwana wa Yohana”ulibhilikilwa Kefa,”(obhugajulo bwalyo' Petro').
Wasemletha kuJesu. UJesu wamkhangela wathi, “UnguSimoni indodana kaJohane. Usuzathiwa unguKhefasi” (okuchasiswa ngokuthi, nguPhethro).
43 lusiku olwolwalubhiye omwanya Yesu nenda okugenda Galilaya, amubwene Filipo namubwila ati,”niundubhe anye.”
Ngelanga elilandelayo uJesu wafuna ukusuka aye eGalile. Wabona uFiliphu wathi kuye, “Ngilandela.”
44 Filipo aligali wa Bethsaida, mu musi gwa Andrea na Petro.
UFiliphu wayengowedolobheni lase-Bhethisayida, njengo-Andreya loPhethro.
45 Filipo namubhona Nathanaeli namubhila ati, Chamubhona uliya unu Musa andikile emisango jaye ne bhilagilo nabhalagi. Yesu omwana wa Yusufu, okusoka Nazareti.
UFiliphu wadinga uNathaneli wamtshela wathi, “Sesimfumene lowo uMosi aloba ngaye eMthethweni, njalo abaphrofethi labo abaloba ngaye, uJesu waseNazaretha, indodana kaJosefa.”
46 Nathanaeli namubwila ati,”Mbe echinu chakisi echitula okusoka Nazareti?”Filipo namubwila ati, Ija olole.”
UNathaneli wabuza wathi, “ENazaretha! Kulolutho oluhle olungavela khona na?” UFiliphu wathi, “Woza uzebona.”
47 Yesu namulola Nathanaeli naja kumwene naika ati,”Lola, Omwisraeli wechimali wechimali unu atali bhuligelige kwaye!”
Kwathi uJesu ebona uNathaneli eqhamuka laphaya wathi ngaye, “Nangu umʼIsrayeli oqotho, okungekho nkohliso kuye.”
48 Nathanaeli namubhwila ati,” Wamenyeyeaki anye?” yesu namusubya namubwila ati,”achali Filipo okubhilikila uli asi yo mutini, gwokulola.”
UNathaneli wambuza wathi, “Ungazela ngaphi na?” UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngikubonile usahlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla somkhiwa uFiliphu engakakubizi.”
49 Nathanaeli nasubya,”Rabi awe uli mwana wa Nyamuanga! Awe ni Mukama wa Israeli”!
UNathaneli wasefakaza wathi, “Rabi, uyindodana kaNkulunkulu; uyiNkosi ka-Israyeli.”
50 Yeau nasubya namubwila ati, kwo kubha nakubwiliye' nakulolele asi yo mutini' mbe wekilisha? oulola ebhikolwa byafu okukila bhinu.”
UJesu wathi, “Ukholwa ngoba ngithe ngikubone ngaphansi kwesihlahla somkhiwa. Usazobona izinto ezinkulu kulalokho.”
51 Yesu naika ati,”Nichimali chimali enibhabwila ati mulilola olwile lwigukile na mulibhalola bhamalaika nibhalinya na nibheka ingulu yo Mwana wa Nyamuanga.”
Waphinda wengeza wathi, “Ngikutshela iqiniso, uzabona izulu livuleka, lezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu zikhwela zisehlela eNdodaneni yoMuntu.”
