UJohane 10
1 “Ngikhuluma iqiniso ukuthi umuntu ongangeni ngesango esibayeni sezimvu kodwa akhwele kwenye indawo ulisela lomphangi.
Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, umuunhu juno ikwingila muluvagha lwa ng'holo kisila kukilila pa mulyango, neke ikilila pavunge, ujuo mhiji kange mhijim'budi.
2 Umuntu ongena ngesango nguye umelusi wezimvu.
Looli juno ikilila pa mulyango, ujuo ghwe ndiimi ghwa ng'holo.
3 Umlindi wesango uyamvulela, lezimvu ziyalilalela ilizwi lakhe. Izimvu zakhe uzibiza ngamabizo azikhokhele.
Umuloleleli ghwa luvagha ikun'dindulila umulyango, nasi ng'holo sipulika ilisio ilya n'diimi ujuo. Ghwope ikusikemeela ing'holo saake nijingi nilitavua lyake na kukusihumia kunji.
4 Nxa esezivulele zonke ezakhe, uhamba phambi kwazo, izimvu zakhe zimlandele ngoba ziyalazi ilizwi lakhe.
Kyande asihumisie ing'holo saake sooni, umwene ilongola, iseene sikum'bingilila, ulwakuva silikagwile ilisio lyake.
5 Kodwa kazisoze zilandele owemzini; iqiniso yikuthi zizambalekela ngoba kazilazi ilizwi lowemzini.”
Ing'holo nasingam'bingilile umuunhu umhesia, ulwene sikunkimbila ulwakuva nasilimanyile ilisio lyake.”
6 UJesu wasebenzisa umzekeliso lo kodwa kabakuzwisisanga lokho ayebatshela khona.
UYesu alyavavulile aveene ikihwanikisio iki, neke aveene navalyasitanghinie sino ikuvavuula.
7 Ngakho uJesu waphinda wathi, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi mina ngiyilo isango lezimvu.
Pe u Yesu akavavuula kange akati. Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, une nene mulyango ghwa luvagha pano sikwingilila ing'holo.
8 Bonke asebake bafika phambi kwami babengamasela labaphangi kodwa izimvu kazibalalelanga.
Avaanhu vooni vano valyatalile kulyune kuuva vadiimi va ng'holo, valyale vahiji kange vahiijivabudi, nasing'holo nasikavapulikagha.
9 Mina ngiyilo isango; loba ngubani ongena ngami uzasindiswa. Uzangena, aphume, afumane idlelo.
Une neene mulyango, umuunhu juno ikwingila kukilila une ipokua. Kukilila une ikwingilagha na kuhuma na kuuva ni kyakulia.
10 Isela lilanda ukweba lokubulala lokubhubhisa kuphela; mina ngilande ukuze zibe lokuphila, zibe lakho ngokugcweleyo.
Umhiiji ikwisa nu vufumbue vwa kuhija, kubuda na kunangania. Une nisile kuuti avaanhu vave nu vwumi, vave navwo ifighono fyoni.
11 Ngingumelusi olungileyo. Umelusi olungileyo unikela ukuphila kwakhe izimvu zakhe.
Une nili ndiimi nnofu. Undiimi unnofu, anoghile kufua vwimila ing'holo saake.
12 Oqhatshiweyo kasuye umelusi ongumnini wezimvu. Yikho nxa ebona iganyana lisiza, uyazitshiya izimvu abaleke. Iganyana beseliwuhlasela umhlambi liwuhlakaze.
Umuunhu juno idiima ing'holo vwimila uluhombo, ujuo na ndiimi ghwa ng'holo, kange ing'holo nasaake, angavone ing'hekeeva jikwisa, ikimbila na kukusileka ing'holo seene. Pe ing'hekeeva jikwalukila ing'holo na kupalanisia.
13 Umuntu lo ubaleka ngoba eyisiqhatshwa, kazikhathaleli izimvu.
Umuunhu ujuo ikimbila ulwakuva uvufumbue vwake lwe luhombo, ing'holo na kiinu kwa mwene.
14 Mina ngingumelusi olungileyo; ngiyazazi izimvu zami njalo lezimvu zami ziyangazi
Une nili n'diimi nnofu. Ing'holo sango nisikagwile, soope sing'hagwile.
15 njengoba uBaba engazi lami ngiyamazi, nginikela ukuphila kwami ezimvini zami.
n'davule uNhaata vule ang'hagwile une, na juune vule ninkagwile umwene. Une nitavula uvwumi vwanga vwimila ing'holo.
16 Ngilazo ezinye izimvu ezingasizo zalumhlambi. Lazo kumele ngizilethe. Lazo futhi zizalilalela ilizwi lami ukuze kube lomhlambi owodwa lomelusi oyedwa.
Nili ni ng'holo isingi sino nasili muluvagha ulu. Soope isio nilonda kukusileeta, soope sikumhulikagha. Apuo kiiva kipugha kimo, nu ndiimi jumo.
17 Isizatho sokuba uBaba angithande yikuthi ngiyayinikela impilo yami, ngizaphinde ngiyithathe futhi.
Ulu, fyenambe uNhaata anganile: Nitavwile kufua, neke niiva mwumi kange.
18 Kakho ongithathela yona kodwa ngiyinikela ngokufisa kwami. Ngilalo ilungelo lokuyinikela lelungelo lokuphinde ngiyithathe. Umlayo lo ngawamukela uvela kuBaba.”
Nakwale umuunhu juno ndepoonu ivusia uvwumi vwango, looli une nitavwile june kufua. Une nilinuvutavulilua uvwa kuvusia uvwumi vwango, kange nili nu vutavulilua uvwa kuvugomosia. Nuupile ululaghilo ulu kuhuma kwa Nhaata.”
19 Amazwi aphinda enza amaJuda adabuka phakathi.
Amasio aghuo ghakapelela aVayahudi kulekeng'hana.
20 Amanengi kuwo athi, “Uledimoni, uyawumana njalo uyahlanya. Limlalelelani?”
Vinga mu veene vakati, “Uju ali ni lipepo, kange apelwike. Lwakiki kukumpulikisia?”
21 Kodwa amanye athi, “La kayisiwo mazwi omuntu oledimoni. Idimoni lingawavula njani amehlo esiphofu?”
Avange vakava viiti, “Amasio aghuo naghihuma mwa muunhu unya lipepo. Asi, ilipepo ndepoonu likumpelela um'bofu amaaso kulola?”
22 Kwafika uMkhosi Wokuzinikela eJerusalema. Kwakusebusika,
Pe ghukafika unsiki ughwa kikulukulu ikya kwimika ku Yelusalemu.
23 uJesu esemagumeni ethempeli ezihambela eKhulusini likaSolomoni.
Pe pano aVayahudi vamonga Unsiki ughuo ghulyale ghwa mhepo, uYesu alyale mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, ighenda ghenda mu luviika luno lukatambulwagha, “Luviika lwa Solomoni.”
24 AmaJuda ayembuthanele athi kuye, “Kuzaze kube nini ulokhu usitshiya silengile na? Nxa unguye uKhristu, sitshele kuhle.”
Pe pano aVayahudi vamonga vakankong'hanila, vakam'buula vakati, “Ghukutuviika mu nganighani mpaka liighi? Nave veeve Kilisite tuvuule pa vuvalafu!”
25 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngalitshela kodwa kalikholwa. Imimangaliso engiyenzayo ngebizo likaBaba iyangifakazela,
UYesu akavamula akati, “Une nivavulile kuuti neene veeni, neke umue namukwitika. Sino nivomba mu litavua lya Nhaata, sihufia kuuti neene veeni.
26 kodwa kalikholwa ngoba kalisizo zimvu zami.
Neke umue namukwitika ulwakuva namuli ng'holo sango.
27 Ezami izimvu ziyalilalela ilizwi lami; ngiyazazi lazo ziyangilandela.
Ing'holo sango sipulika ilisio lyango, na juune nisikagwile, soope sikumbingilila.
29 UBaba wami yena ongiphe zona mkhulu kulakho konke, kakho ongazihlwitha esandleni sikaBaba
UNhaata ghwango juno amheliile ing'holo isio, m'baha kukila vooni, kange nakwale umuunhu juno ndepoonu ikusivusia mu mavoko ghaake.
30 Mina loBaba simunye.”
Une nu Nhaata tuli vumo.”
31 Aphinda njalo amaJuda adobha amatshe ukuba amkhande,
Ye vapuliike isio, vakahola kange amavue kuuti vantove.
32 kodwa uJesu wathi kuwo, “Ngilitshengisile imimangaliso emikhulu eminengi evela kuBaba. Yiwuphi phakathi kwayo elingikhandela wona ngamatshe?”
Neke uYesu akavavuula akati, “Nivombile imbombo nyinga inofu pamaaso ghiinu. Imbombo isio nivombile ku ngufu sa Nhaata. Lino, mu sino nivombile, lukilu luno lukuvapelela kukunhova na mavue?”
33 “Kasikukhandeli misebenzi emihle oyenzileyo kodwa sikukhandela ukuhlambaza, ngoba wena, umuntu nje, uzenza uNkulunkulu.”
AVayahudi vakamwamula bakati, “Natulonda kukukutova na mavue vwimila imbombo inofu sino uvombile, ulwene tukukutova ulwakuva ghukumuligha uNguluve. Ghukuviika uli Nguluve napano uli muunhu ndavule avaanhu avange!”
34 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kakulotshwanga yini eMthethweni wenu ukuthi, ‘Ngitshilo ukuthi “lingonkulunkulu?”’
UYesu akavamula akati, “Nalilembilue mufitabu fiinu ifya ndaghilo kuuti, 'Umue muli manguluve”'?”
35 Nxa wababiza ngokuthi ‘ngonkulunkulu,’ bona labo ilizwi elafika kubo, njalo uMbhalo kawephulwa
Nave alyavatambwile manguluve, avaanu vano valyapuliike ilisio lyake (kange aMalembe aMimike ifighono fyoni ghijova isa kyang'haani),
36 pho-ke kungathiwani kulowo uBaba amkhethileyo ukuba ngowakhe wamthumela emhlabeni na? Kungani pho lingibeka icala lokuhlambaza ngoba ngithe ngiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu?
lino mujova kwa juno uNhaata alyantavwile akansung'ha mu iisi mwiti, 'nikumaligha u Nguluve,' pano niiti 'Une nili Mwana ghwa Nguluve'?
37 Lingangikholwa ngaphandle kokuba ngenze okwenziwa nguBaba.
Nave nanivomba imbombo isa Nhaata, namunganyiti kange.
38 Kodwa nxa ngikwenza, lanxa lingangikholwa, kholwani ubufakazi bemimangaliso ukuze lifunde njalo lizwisise ukuthi uBaba ukimi, lami ngikuBaba.”
Neke nave nivomba, nambe namukunyitika, mwitikaghe vwimila imbombo isio neke mukagule na kukulutanghania kuuti uNhaata ali mulyune, najuune nili mwa Nhaata.”
39 Baphinda njalo bazama ukumbamba kodwa waphunyuka.
Neke vakava vilonda pikunkola kange, neke uYesu akavatyegha.
40 UJesu wabuyela ngaphetsheya kweJodani kuleyondawo lapho uJohane ayebhaphathizela khona ensukwini ezedlulayo. Wahlala khona,
U Yesu akaluta kange imwambo ija ikya Yolidani, pano uYohani alyale ikwofugha avaanhu, akava ukuo ifighono fidebe.
41 abantu abanengi beza kuye. Bathi, “Lanxa uJohane engazange enze umangaliso, kodwa konke lokho uJohane akutshoyo ngomuntu lo kwakuliqiniso.”
Ye ali kula, avaanhu vinga vakaluta kwa mwene viiti, “UYohani naalyavombile nambe ikivalilo kimo, neke imhola sooni sino alyajovile vwimila umuunhu uju, sa kyang'haani.
42 Kuleyondawo abanengi bakholwa kuJesu.
Ukuo avaanhu vinga vakamwitika uYesu.
