1 “Ngikhuluma iqiniso ukuthi umuntu ongangeni ngesango esibayeni sezimvu kodwa akhwele kwenye indawo ulisela lomphangi.
Ikumbya line, nimiwambila, iye mwine yaseti enjile chamulyango wamulaka wembelele, kono utata kwiwulu chenzila imwi, unzo muntu musa mi wiba.
2 Umuntu ongena ngesango nguye umelusi wezimvu.
Iye winjilila kumulyango nji mulisana wembelele.
3 Umlindi wesango uyamvulela, lezimvu ziyalilalela ilizwi lakhe. Izimvu zakhe uzibiza ngamabizo azikhokhele.
Mubabaleli wamulyango mwamwiyalwile. Imbelele zizuwa inzwi lyakwe, mi usupa imbelele zakwe chamazina ni kuzietelela hazizwa.
4 Nxa esezivulele zonke ezakhe, uhamba phambi kwazo, izimvu zakhe zimlandele ngoba ziyalazi ilizwi lakhe.
Linu heti chazizwisa nzose zakwe, uziyenda kubusu, mi imbelele zimwichilila, mukuti zinzi inzwi lyakwe.
5 Kodwa kazisoze zilandele owemzini; iqiniso yikuthi zizambalekela ngoba kazilazi ilizwi lowemzini.”
Linu keti nizichilile muyenzi, kono kazimukekuluhe, mokuti kanzinzi inzwi lyamuyenzi.”
6 UJesu wasebenzisa umzekeliso lo kodwa kabakuzwisisanga lokho ayebatshela khona.
Jesu abawambi iyi nguli kubali, kono abo kanababazuwisisi kuti izi zintu ibali nji zona zabali kuwamba kubali.
7 Ngakho uJesu waphinda wathi, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi mina ngiyilo isango lezimvu.
Linu Jesu chawamba kubali hape, Ikumbya line, Nimi wambila, Njime nimulyango wembelele.
8 Bonke asebake bafika phambi kwami babengamasela labaphangi kodwa izimvu kazibalalelanga.
Yese yabezi kumasule angu musa mi wiba, kono imbelele kena zibamuteki.
9 Mina ngiyilo isango; loba ngubani ongena ngami uzasindiswa. Uzangena, aphume, afumane idlelo.
Njime nimulyango. Yese winjila changu, kapuluswe; kenjile mukati ni hanze mi kawane malisikizo.
10 Isela lilanda ukweba lokubulala lokubhubhisa kuphela; mina ngilande ukuze zibe lokuphila, zibe lakho ngokugcweleyo.
Musa kawoli kwiza heba kezi kwiba kapa kwihaya ni kushinya. Nibakezi kuti benze bawane buhalo mi babu wane cha bungi.
11 Ngingumelusi olungileyo. Umelusi olungileyo unikela ukuphila kwakhe izimvu zakhe.
Njime nimulisana weniti. Mulisana weniti uha buhalo bwakwe muchibaka chembelele.
12 Oqhatshiweyo kasuye umelusi ongumnini wezimvu. Yikho nxa ebona iganyana lisiza, uyazitshiya izimvu abaleke. Iganyana beseliwuhlasela umhlambi liwuhlakaze.
Mubeleki wakuhila kahena mulisana wembelele imi kamunite imbelele. Habona untuhu nakezite usiya imbelele ni kubaleha. Utuhu uwonda imbelele ni kuzihasanya.
13 Umuntu lo ubaleka ngoba eyisiqhatshwa, kazikhathaleli izimvu.
Utiya mukuti mubeleki wakuhila kabileli ni mbelele.
14 Mina ngingumelusi olungileyo; ngiyazazi izimvu zami njalo lezimvu zami ziyangazi
Njime ni mulisani weniti, imi nizi zangu, mi zangu zinizi.
15 njengoba uBaba engazi lami ngiyamazi, nginikela ukuphila kwami ezimvini zami.
Tayo unizi, imi name nizi Tayo, imi nibahi buhalo bwangu muchibaka che mbelele.
16 Ngilazo ezinye izimvu ezingasizo zalumhlambi. Lazo kumele ngizilethe. Lazo futhi zizalilalela ilizwi lami ukuze kube lomhlambi owodwa lomelusi oyedwa.
Nina imbelele zimwi zisali nzowo mulaka wembelele. Niyelele kuzileta nazo, imi kazizuwe inzwi lyangu kokuti ibe mutapi wonke ni mulisana yenke.
17 Isizatho sokuba uBaba angithande yikuthi ngiyayinikela impilo yami, ngizaphinde ngiyithathe futhi.
Njikeli ibaka Tayo hanisaka: Nisinyehelwa buhalo bwangu kokuti ninibuhinde hape.
18 Kakho ongithathela yona kodwa ngiyinikela ngokufisa kwami. Ngilalo ilungelo lokuyinikela lelungelo lokuphinde ngiyithathe. Umlayo lo ngawamukela uvela kuBaba.”
Kakwina yowola kubuninyanga, kono nibusinyehelwa changu nimwine. Nina maata akuzwisa, imi nina maata akuhinda hape. Nibawani iyo itaelo kuba Tayo.
19 Amazwi aphinda enza amaJuda adabuka phakathi.
Kuliyabahakati chikwa tendahala mukati kaMajuda bakeñisa chayo manzwi.
20 Amanengi kuwo athi, “Uledimoni, uyawumana njalo uyahlanya. Limlalelelani?”
Bungi bwabo chiba wamba, “Wina i dimona mi umbulumuka. Chinzi hamutekeleza kwali?
21 Kodwa amanye athi, “La kayisiwo mazwi omuntu oledimoni. Idimoni lingawavula njani amehlo esiphofu?”
Bamwi chibati, “Aa kahena manzwi amuntu yoyendiswa idimona. Kana idimona liwola kwiyalula menso amuntu yasaboni?”
22 Kwafika uMkhosi Wokuzinikela eJerusalema. Kwakusebusika,
Linu chibali inako ya Mukiti wa Kunjoloza mwa Jerusalema.
23 uJesu esemagumeni ethempeli ezihambela eKhulusini likaSolomoni.
Ibali maliha, mi Jesu abu kuyenda mwi keleke mumalibela a Solomoni.
24 AmaJuda ayembuthanele athi kuye, “Kuzaze kube nini ulokhu usitshiya silengile na? Nxa unguye uKhristu, sitshele kuhle.”
Linu Majuda chiba muzimbuluka mi chiba wamba kwali, katuhinde inako ikumahi nitu sezibi? Heba njiwe Kirisite, tuwambile he ñandaleza.”
25 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngalitshela kodwa kalikholwa. Imimangaliso engiyenzayo ngebizo likaBaba iyangifakazela,
Jesu ababetabi kuti, “Nibamiwambili, kono kamuzumini. Mitendo initenda mwizina lya Tayo, yeyo njiipaka ziniama.
26 kodwa kalikholwa ngoba kalisizo zimvu zami.
Nikwinabulyo inwe ka muzumini mukuti kahena mwimbelele zangu.
27 Ezami izimvu ziyalilalela ilizwi lami; ngiyazazi lazo ziyangilandela.
Imbelele zangu zizuwa inzwi lyangu; nizizi, imi zinichilila.
29 UBaba wami yena ongiphe zona mkhulu kulakho konke, kakho ongazihlwitha esandleni sikaBaba
Tayo, yabazinihi, mukando kuzamba bonse, mi kakwina yowola kubazwabula mumayaza a Tayo.
30 Mina loBaba simunye.”
Ime ni Tayo tuchintu chonke.”
31 Aphinda njalo amaJuda adobha amatshe ukuba amkhande,
Linu Majuda chi bahinda mavwe nibamu ñabola.
32 kodwa uJesu wathi kuwo, “Ngilitshengisile imimangaliso emikhulu eminengi evela kuBaba. Yiwuphi phakathi kwayo elingikhandela wona ngamatshe?”
Jesu ababetabi, “Nibamitondezi mitendo mingi milotu izwa kwa Tayo. Linu njo uhi kweyo mitendo umuniñabolela cha mabwe?”
33 “Kasikukhandeli misebenzi emihle oyenzileyo kodwa sikukhandela ukuhlambaza, ngoba wena, umuntu nje, uzenza uNkulunkulu.”
Majuda babamwitabi, “Katuku ñaboleli mutendo mulotu, kono kushwaula, mukuti iwe, umuntu, uli tenda kuti njowe Ireeza.”
34 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kakulotshwanga yini eMthethweni wenu ukuthi, ‘Ngitshilo ukuthi “lingonkulunkulu?”’
Jesu ababetabi, “Kanakuti kuñoletwe mumilao, Ni wamba, “mumizimu”?
35 Nxa wababiza ngokuthi ‘ngonkulunkulu,’ bona labo ilizwi elafika kubo, njalo uMbhalo kawephulwa
Heba ababa supi kuti bazimu, nji kwani kulibazwi izina lya Ireeza (mi mañolo ka awoli ku lutwa),
36 pho-ke kungathiwani kulowo uBaba amkhethileyo ukuba ngowakhe wamthumela emhlabeni na? Kungani pho lingibeka icala lokuhlambaza ngoba ngithe ngiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu?
muwamba konzo yaba bikiwakumbali nji Tayo ni kutumiwa muchisi, 'ushwaula; mukuti na wamba, 'Ni mwana we Ireeza.'
37 Lingangikholwa ngaphandle kokuba ngenze okwenziwa nguBaba.
Heba kanitendi mitendo ya Tayo, kanzi muni zumini.
38 Kodwa nxa ngikwenza, lanxa lingangikholwa, kholwani ubufakazi bemimangaliso ukuze lifunde njalo lizwisise ukuthi uBaba ukimi, lami ngikuBaba.”
Kono heba niitenda, nangakuti kazumini, muzumine mitendo linukuti mwizimbe ni kuzuwisisa ziba Tayo benamwangu imi name ninamuba Tayo.”
39 Baphinda njalo bazama ukumbamba kodwa waphunyuka.
Babaliki kumuwonda hape, kono abayindi kungi kuzwa mumayanza abo.
40 UJesu wabuyela ngaphetsheya kweJodani kuleyondawo lapho uJohane ayebhaphathizela khona ensukwini ezedlulayo. Wahlala khona,
Chayenda hape mwishila lya Jorodani kuchibaka unko Joani abali kukolobeza, niku kekala kwateni.
41 abantu abanengi beza kuye. Bathi, “Lanxa uJohane engazange enze umangaliso, kodwa konke lokho uJohane akutshoyo ngomuntu lo kwakuliqiniso.”
Bungi bwabantu chibeza kwali nikuchokuti, “Cheniti Joani kana abatendi imakazo, kono zintu zonse zaba wambi Joani chozu mukwame ibali zeniti.”
42 Kuleyondawo abanengi bakholwa kuJesu.
Bantu bangi kwateni ni chibazumina kwali.
