< UJohane 12 >

1 Kwasekusele insuku eziyisithupha ukuthi kufike iPhasika, uJesu waya eBhethani, lapho okwakuhlala khona uLazaro owayevuswe kwabafileyo nguJesu.
Esi wòsusɔ ŋkeke ade woaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la, Yesu va ɖo Betania si nye Lazaro, ame si wòfɔ ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la ƒe du me.
2 Kwaphekwa ukudla kwakusihlwa kuhlonitshwa yena uJesu. UMatha nguye owayedidizela, uLazaro ehlezi labanye etafuleni loJesu.
Woɖo fiẽnuɖukplɔ̃ na Yesu le afi sia. Marta subɔ Yesu le kplɔ̃ la ŋu. Lazaro hã nɔ kplɔ̃a ŋu kple Yesu.
3 UMariya wasethatha amafutha enadi acengekileyo njalo adulayo kakhulu, ayengaba yingxenye yelitha, wawathela ezinyaweni zikaJesu wasezesula ngenwele zakhe. Indlu yagcwala ngephunga elimnandi lamakha lawo.
Esi wonɔ nu ɖum la, Maria tsɔ amiʋeʋĩ xɔasi aɖe vɛ, eye wòsii na Yesu ƒe afɔwo, eye wòtsɔ eƒe taɖa tutu Yesu ƒe afɔwoe. Ami la ƒe ʋeʋẽ xɔ aƒe blibo la me.
4 Kodwa omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJudasi Iskariyothi owayezamnikela wasola wathi,
Esi Yuda Iskariɔt, Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, ame si fia Yesu yomemɔ emegbe la kpɔ nu sia la, egblɔ be,
5 “Kungani amakha la engathengiswanga imali yaphiwa abampofu? Intengo yawo ibinganela umholo womnyaka wonke.”
“Nu ka ta womedzra amiʋeʋĩ sia hetsɔ ga la na ame dahewo o ɖo?”
6 Kakutshongo lokhu ngoba ebanakekela abampofu, kodwa ngoba elisela; njengomgcinisikhwama wayandise ukuzisiza ngalokho okwakufakwa phakathi kwaso.
Eƒe asi wu ƒe ɖeka ƒe fetu. Megblɔ esia ɖe esi wòtsɔ ɖe le eme na ame dahewo ta o, ke boŋ fiafitɔ wònye; eyae kpɔa nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe ga dzi, eye wònɔa ga la fim.
7 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Myekele. Kwakuqondwe ukuthi amakha la awabekele usuku lokungcwatshwa kwami.
Tete Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Miɖe asi le eŋu, elabena ewɔ esia be yeadzram ɖo ɖi na nye ɖigbe.
8 Lizahlala lilabo abampofu phakathi kwenu kodwa mina kaliyikuhlala lilami.”
Ame dahewo anɔ mia dome ɖaa, ke nyemanɔ mia dome ɖaa o.”
9 Ngalesosikhathi ixuku elikhulu lamaJuda lezwa ukuthi uJesu wayelapho, leza lingalandanga yena kuphela kodwa lokuthi libone uLazaro ayemvuse kwabafileyo.
Esi Yudatɔwo se be Yesu va ɖo wo dome la, woʋli vevie be yewoakpɔe, eye yewoakpɔ Lazaro, ame si Yesu fɔ tso ame kukuwo dome la hã.
10 Ngakho abaphristi abakhulu benza amacebo okuba bambulale laye uLazaro,
Eya ta nunɔlagãwo wɔ ɖoɖo be yewoawu Lazaro hã,
11 ngoba ngenxa yakhe amaJuda amanengi ayesiya kuJesu ebeka ukholo lwawo kuye.
elabena eya tae Yudatɔ geɖewo dze Yesu yome, eye woxɔ edzi se ɖo.
12 Ngosuku olulandelayo ixuku elikhulu elalize emkhosini lezwa ukuthi uJesu wayesendleleni esiza eJerusalema.
Esi ŋu ke la, ameha gã si va azã la ɖuƒe la se be Yesu le mɔ dzi gbɔna Yerusalem. Ame geɖe siwo va Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuƒe la hã see ale woyi be yewoaɖakpee.
13 Lathatha amagatsha elala laphuma ukuyamhlangabeza, limemeza lisithi, “Hosana!” “Ubusisiwe lowo obuya ngebizo likaThixo!” “Ubusisiwe oyiNkosi ka-Israyeli!”
Ale woŋe deʋayawo ɖe asi yina be yewoakpee, eye wonɔ ɣli dom nɔ aseye tsom be, “Hosana!” “Yayratɔe nye ame si gbɔna le Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ me!” “Yayratɔe nye Israel ƒe fia la!”
14 UJesu wathola inkonyane kababhemi wayigada njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi:
Yesu kpɔ tedzivi aɖe, eye wònɔ anyi ɖe edzi abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene be,
15 “Ungesabi, Oh Ndodakazi yeZiyoni; khangela, inkosi yakho iyeza, ihlezi phezu kwenkonyane kababhemi.”
“Mègavɔ̃ o, Zion nyɔnuvi. Kpɔ ɖa, wò fia do tedzivi gbɔna!”
16 Kuqala abafundi bakhe kabakuzwisisanga konke lokhu. Kwaze kwaba ngemva kokuba uJesu esekhazimulisiwe lapho abananzelela khona ukuba izinto lezi zazilotshwe ngaye lokuthi babezenzile kuye lezozinto.
Gbã la, Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo mese nu siawo katã gɔme o. Ke esi wokɔ Yesu ŋu wòtrɔ dzo yi dziƒo le ŋutikɔkɔe me megbe hafi wode dzesii be woŋlɔ nu siawo tso eŋu, eye wowɔ nu siawo nɛ.
17 Ngalesosikhathi ixuku elalilaye mhla ebiza uLazaro ethuneni wabuye wamvusa ekufeni laqhubeka lilifakaza ilizwi.
Azɔ ameha siwo nɔ eteƒe hafi Yesu yɔ Lazaro be wòado go tso yɔdo me, eye wòfɔe ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la kaka nya la.
18 Abantu abanengi bahamba ukuyamhlangabeza ngoba basebezwile ukuthi wayewenzile umangaliso lo.
Le nukunu si wòwɔ wose ta la, amewo ƒo zi yi be yewoaɖakpɔe.
19 AbaFarisi bakhulumisana besithi, “Liyabona, into le izasitshiya esikhaleni. Khangelani ukuthi umhlaba wonke usuthe zalezale kuye!”
Ale Farisitɔwo gblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Mikpɔ ɖa, nu sia mele mía dzi de ge o. Mikpɔ ale si xexea me katã kplɔe ɖoe ɖa!”
20 Kwakukhona amaGrikhi phakathi kwalabo abayakhonza emkhosini.
Grikitɔ aɖewo hã nɔ ame siwo va Yerusalem dua me be yewoaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekea la dome.
21 Beza kuFiliphu owayevela eBhethisayida eGalile lesicelo esithi, “Nkosi, sifuna ukubona uJesu.”
Ame siawo va Filipo, ame si tso Betsaida le Galilea la gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, miedi be miakpɔ Yesu.”
22 UFiliphu wayatshela u-Andreya; u-Andreya loFiliphu basebemtshela uJesu.
Filipo hã ɖagblɔe na Andrea ale eya kple Andrea woyi ɖagblɔe na Yesu.
23 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Sesifikile isikhathi sokuba iNdodana yoMuntu ikhazimuliswe.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Gaƒoƒo la de be woakɔ Amegbetɔ Vi la ŋu.
24 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi ngaphandle kokuthi uhlamvu lwengqoloyi luwele emhlabathini lufe, lusala lulokhu luluhlamvu olulodwa. Kodwa lungaze lufe luthela inhlamvu ezinengi.
Le nyateƒe me, mele egblɔm na mi be, ne bliku la mege ɖe anyigba, eye wòku o la, ekema eya ɖeka tsi anyi. Gake ne eku la, etsea ku geɖe.
25 Umuntu othanda impilo yakhe izamlahlekela ikanti umuntu ozonda impilo yakhe kulo umhlaba uzayilondolozela ingunaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
Ame si lɔ̃ eƒe agbe la, abui, ke ame si gbe nu le eƒe agbe gbɔ le xexe sia me, adzrae ɖo ɖi na agbe mavɔ la. (aiōnios g166)
26 Lowo ongikhonzayo kumele angilandele, lalapho engikhona lesikhonzi sami sikhona. UBaba uzamdumisa lowo ongikhonzayo.
“Ame si subɔam la, ele be wòadze yonyeme, be afi si mele la, nye subɔla hã nanɔ afi ma. Fofonye ade bubu ame si subɔam la ŋu.
27 Khathesi inhliziyo yami ikhathazekile. Kambe ngingatsho na ngithi, ‘Baba, ngihlenga singafiki lesosikhathi’? Hatshi, kwakungenxa yalesisizatho ukuze ngingene kulesisikhathi.
“Azɔ nye dzi le nu xam, ke nya ka magblɔ? Fofo, ɖem le gaƒoƒo sia mea? Gbeɖe, elabena esia ta meva xexea me ɖo.
28 Baba, khazimulisa ibizo lakho!” Kwasekufika ilizwi livela ezulwini lisithi, “Sengilikhazimulisile, ngizaphinda ngilikhazimulise.”
Fofo, kɔ wò ŋkɔ ŋu.” Esi Yesu wu nya siawo nu la, gbe aɖe ɖi tso dziƒo be, “Mekɔ eŋuti xoxo, eye magakɔ eŋuti.”
29 Ixuku labantu elalilapho elalizwayo ilizwi lathi kube lomdumo wezulu; abanye bathi ingilosi yayikhulume laye.
Esi ameha la se gbe sia la, wogblɔ be dziɖegbee; bubuwo gblɔ be mawudɔla aɖe ƒo nu nɛ.
30 UJesu wathi, “Ilizwi leli belingelokusiza lina, hayi mina.
Yesu gblɔ be, “Miawo ta gbe sia ɖi ɖo, menye tanye o.
31 Manje sekuyisikhathi sokwahlulela kulo umhlaba; manje inkosi yalo umhlaba isizaxotshwa.
Gaƒoƒo la de be woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu xexea me; azɔ la, woanya xexe sia me ƒe fia la.
32 Kodwa mina nxa sengiphakanyisiwe ngisuswa emhlabeni, ngizabadonsela kimi bonke abantu.”
Gake nye la, ne wokɔm ɖa tso anyigba la, mahe amewo katã ɖe ɖokuinye ŋu.”
33 Wakutsho lokhu eveza ukuthi wayezakufa ukufa okunjani.
Egblɔ nya sia be yeatsɔ afia ku si ƒomevi ku ge yeala.
34 Ixuku labhoboka lathi, “Sezwa eMthethweni ukuthi uKhristu uzahlala kokuphela, pho ukutsho kanjani ukuthi, ‘INdodana yoMuntu imele iphakanyiswe na’? Ingubani yona ‘iNdodana yoMuntu’ le?” (aiōn g165)
Ameha la biae be, “Míesee le Se la me be Kristo la anɔ agbe tegbee. Nu ka ta nèbe ‘woakɔ Amegbetɔ Vi la ɖe dzi’ ɖo? Ame kae nye Amegbetɔ Vi sia?” (aiōn g165)
35 UJesu wabatshela wathi, “Lizakuba lakho ukukhanya okwesikhatshana esithile. Hambani liseselakho ukukhanya, ubumnyama bungakaligubuzeli. Umuntu ophumputha emnyameni kakwazi lapho aya khona.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Kekeli la agaklẽ na mi ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko. Mizɔ le kekeli la me hafi viviti nagado ɖe mi. Ame si le viviti me zɔm la menya afi si yim wòle o.
36 Bekani ithemba lenu ekukhanyeni liseselakho ukuze libe ngamadodana okukhanya.” Wathi eseqedile ukukhuluma uJesu wasuka kubo wayazifihla.
Mixɔ kekeli la dzi se esi wòle mia gbɔ, be miazu kekeli ƒe viwo.” Esi Yesu gblɔ nya siawo vɔ la, edo go le ameawo dome ɖaɣla eɖokui.
37 Lanxa uJesu wayeseyenze yonke imimangaliso le emehlweni abo babelokhu bengakholwa kuye.
Togbɔ be Yesu wɔ nukunu siawo le wo dome hã la, womexɔ edzi se o.
38 Lokhu kwakugcwalisa ilizwi lika-Isaya umphrofethi elithi: “Nkosi, ngubani olikholiweyo ilizwi lethu na, njalo amandla eNkosi ambulelwe ubani na?”
Esia ɖo kpe Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya ƒe nya dzi be, “Aƒetɔ, ame kae xɔ míaƒe nya dzi se? Eye ame kae woɖe Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ gã la fia?”
39 Ngalesisizatho babengeke bakholwa ngoba u-Isaya uyatsho komunye umbhalo ukuthi:
Susu sia ta womexɔ edzi se o ɖo, elabena Yesaya gagblɔ be,
40 “Uwafiphazile amehlo abo wathundubeza inhliziyo zabo ukuze bangaboni ngamehlo abo njalo bangezwisisi ngenhliziyo zabo, loba baphenduke, ukuze ngibasilise.”
“Mawu gbã woƒe ŋkuwo, eye wòna be woƒe dziwo ku atri, be womagakpɔ nu kple woƒe ŋkuwo, alo ase nu gɔme kple woƒe dziwo o, alo atrɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu be wòada gbe le wo ŋu o.”
41 U-Isaya wakutsho lokhu ngoba wayibona inkazimulo kaJesu njalo wayekhuluma ngaye.
Yesaya gblɔ esia, elabena ekpɔ Yesu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe, eye wòƒo nu tso eŋu.
42 Kodwa loba kunjalo, abanengi labanye abakhokheli bakholwa kuye. Kodwa ngenxa yabaFarisi kabalufakazanga ukholo lwabo besesaba ukuthi bazaxotshwa esinagogweni;
Ke hã la, Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegã geɖewo xɔ Yesu dzi se. Gake ɖe Farisitɔwo ta la, womete ŋu ʋu woƒe xɔse me o; wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m be woanya yewo le gbedoxɔ la me,
43 ngoba babethanda ukubukwa ngabantu okwedlula ukubukwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu.
elabena wolɔ̃ amegbetɔ ƒe kafukafu wu Mawu ƒe kafukafu.
44 UJesu wasememeza wathi, “Nxa umuntu ekholwa kimi, kakholwa kimi kuphela kodwa kuye lowo ongithumileyo.
Yesu do ɣli gblɔ be, “Ne ame aɖe xɔ dzinye se la, menye nye ɖeka dzi wòxɔ se o, ke boŋ ame si dɔm la hã.
45 Nxa ekhangela mina ubona yena lowo ongithumileyo.
Elabena ne ekpɔm la, ekpɔ ame si dɔm la hã.
46 Ngibuye emhlabeni ngiyikukhanya ukuze angabikhona okholwa kimi ozahlala ebumnyameni.
Nye la, meva xexea me abe kekeli ene, be ame si xɔ dzinye se la manɔ viviti me o.
47 Nxa umuntu ewezwa amazwi ami kodwa angawagcini, angimahluleli mina. Phela kangilandanga ukuzowahlulela umhlaba kodwa ukuzowusindisa.
“Ke ame si se nye nyawo, gake mewɔ ɖe wo dzi o la, nyemadrɔ̃ ʋɔnui o. Elabena nyemeva be madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu xexea me o, ke boŋ be maɖe xexea me.
48 Ukhona umahluleli walowo ongalayo, ongawemukeliyo amazwi ami; lawomazwi engawakhulumayo uqobo azamlahla ngosuku lokucina.
Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la aɖe li si adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame si gbe nu le gbɔnye, eye mexɔ nye nyawo o; nya siwo megblɔ la, woawoe woatsɔ abu fɔ woe le nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi.
49 Ngoba kangizikhulumelanga ngokwentando yami kodwa uBaba owangithumayo wangilaya ukuthi ngithini lokuthi ngikutsho kanjani.
Elabena nyemeƒo nu le ɖokuinye si o, ke boŋ Fofo si dɔm la ƒe nya siwo katã wògblɔ nam be magblɔ lae.
50 Ngiyazi ukuthi umlayo wakhe uholela ekuphileni kwaphakade. Ngakho loba kuyini engikutshoyo yikho lokho uBaba angitshele khona ukuthi ngikutsho.” (aiōnios g166)
Menya be eƒe nyawo katã akplɔ ame ayi agbe mavɔ mee. Eya ta megblɔa nya si Fofo la gblɔ nam be magblɔ la.” (aiōnios g166)
