UJohane 12
1 Kwasekusele insuku eziyisithupha ukuthi kufike iPhasika, uJesu waya eBhethani, lapho okwakuhlala khona uLazaro owayevuswe kwabafileyo nguJesu.
Magono sita kabla jha Pasaka, Yesu alotili Bethania, paajhele Lazaro, muene jha amfufuili kuh'omela kwa bhafu.
2 Kwaphekwa ukudla kwakusihlwa kuhlonitshwa yena uJesu. UMatha nguye owayedidizela, uLazaro ehlezi labanye etafuleni loJesu.
Basi bhakanjandalila kyakulya kya kimihi oku, ni Martha akanitumikila, wakati obhu Lazaro ajhele mmonga wipoghwa bhala bhabhatamili pa kyakulya pamonga ni 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.
Kisha Mariamu atolili ratli jha manukato ghaghatengenesibhu kwa nardo jhinofu, jhajhijhe ni thamani mbaha, akambakasya Yesu mu magolo, ni kumpolosya magolo kwa njuili sya muene; nyumba jhioha jha memili harufu jha manukato.
4 Kodwa omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJudasi Iskariyothi owayezamnikela wasola wathi,
Yuda Iskariote, mmonga ghwa bhala bhanafunzi bha muene, ambajhe ndo an'saliti Yesu, akajobha,
5 “Kungani amakha la engathengiswanga imali yaphiwa abampofu? Intengo yawo ibinganela umholo womnyaka wonke.”
“Kwa ndabha jha kiki manukato agha ghabeleghe kugolesibhwa kwa dinari mia tatu ni kupelibhwa maskini?”
6 Kakutshongo lokhu ngoba ebanakekela abampofu, kodwa ngoba elisela; njengomgcinisikhwama wayandise ukuzisiza ngalokho okwakufakwa phakathi kwaso.
Ni muene akajobha aghu, si kwa kubhafuhurumila maskini, bali kwa ndabha ajhele mmeji: muene ndo jhaakamuili mfuku ghwa hela na atoleghe baadhi jha fibhekibhu omu kwa ndabha jha muene.
7 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Myekele. Kwakuqondwe ukuthi amakha la awabekele usuku lokungcwatshwa kwami.
Yesu akajobha, “Ndekayi abhekayi kya ajhenaku kwa ndabha jha maziku ghangu.
8 Lizahlala lilabo abampofu phakathi kwenu kodwa mina kaliyikuhlala lilami.”
Maskini mwibetakujha nabhu magono ghoha; lakini mwibetalepi kujha nani magono ghoha.”
9 Ngalesosikhathi ixuku elikhulu lamaJuda lezwa ukuthi uJesu wayelapho, leza lingalandanga yena kuphela kodwa lokuthi libone uLazaro ayemvuse kwabafileyo.
Basi bhumati mbaha ghwa Bhayahudi bhakabhwesya kumanya kujha Yesu ajhele okhu, na bhene bhakahida, sio kwandabha jha Yesu tu bali bhambonayi Lazaro ambaye Yesu amfufuili kuhomela kwa bhafu.
10 Ngakho abaphristi abakhulu benza amacebo okuba bambulale laye uLazaro,
Ni bhabhaha bha makuhani bhakabhomba shauri ili bhan'komayi Lazaro;
11 ngoba ngenxa yakhe amaJuda amanengi ayesiya kuJesu ebeka ukholo lwawo kuye.
maana kwa ndabha jha muene bhingi Bhayahudi bhakilotili ni kun'kiera Yesu.
12 Ngosuku olulandelayo ixuku elikhulu elalize emkhosini lezwa ukuthi uJesu wayesendleleni esiza eJerusalema.
Ni ligono lya pili lyake umati mbaha bhahidili ku sikukuu. Bho bhap'eliki Yesu ihida Yerusalemu,
13 Lathatha amagatsha elala laphuma ukuyamhlangabeza, limemeza lisithi, “Hosana!” “Ubusisiwe lowo obuya ngebizo likaThixo!” “Ubusisiwe oyiNkosi ka-Israyeli!”
bhakalota matawi gha mabhehe gha mitende ni kuhoma kwibhala kulota kumlaki ni kujhuegha, “Hosana! Abarikibhu muene jha ihida kwa lihina lya Bwana, Mfalme ghwa Israeli.”
14 UJesu wathola inkonyane kababhemi wayigada njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi:
Yesu an'kabhili mwana-punda akakuela; kama vile kyajhalembibhu,
15 “Ungesabi, Oh Ndodakazi yeZiyoni; khangela, inkosi yakho iyeza, ihlezi phezu kwenkonyane kababhemi.”
“Usitili, binti Sayuni; langayi, Mfalme ghwa jhobhi ihida, akwelili mwana-punda.”
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.
Bhanafunzi bha muene bhaghajhelibhu lepi mambo agha hapo hoti; lakini Yesu bho atukusibhu, ndipo bhakhombuiki jha kujha mambo agha alembibhu muene ni kwamba bhabhombili mambo agha kwa muene.
17 Ngalesosikhathi ixuku elalilaye mhla ebiza uLazaro ethuneni wabuye wamvusa ekufeni laqhubeka lilifakaza ilizwi.
Basi likundi lele lya bhanu bhabhajhele pamonga ni Yesu wakati an'kutili Lazaro kuhomela mu likaburi, bhakashuhudila kwa bhangi.
18 Abantu abanengi bahamba ukuyamhlangabeza ngoba basebezwile ukuthi wayewenzile umangaliso lo.
Na jhajhele kwa ndabha ejhe kwamba likundi lya bhanu bhalotili kumlaki kwa ndabha bhap'eliki jha kujha ajhibhombili ishara ejhu.
19 AbaFarisi bakhulumisana besithi, “Liyabona, into le izasitshiya esikhaleni. Khangelani ukuthi umhlaba wonke usuthe zalezale kuye!”
Mafarisayo bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Langayi, henu mwibhwesya lepi kubhomba kyokyoha; langayi, ulimwengu ulolili kwa muene.”
20 Kwakukhona amaGrikhi phakathi kwalabo abayakhonza emkhosini.
Henu baadhi jha Bhayunani bhajhele miongoni mwa bhala bhabhajhele bhilota kuabudu ku sikukuu.
21 Beza kuFiliphu owayevela eBhethisayida eGalile lesicelo esithi, “Nkosi, sifuna ukubona uJesu.”
Abha bhandotili Filipo, ambajhe ahomili Bethsaida jha Galilaya, bhakans'oka bhakajobha, “Bwana, tete twilonda kumbona Yesu.”
22 UFiliphu wayatshela u-Andreya; u-Andreya loFiliphu basebemtshela uJesu.
Filipo akalota akan'jobhela Andrea; Andrea ni Filipo bhakalota ni kun'jobhela Yesu.
23 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Sesifikile isikhathi sokuba iNdodana yoMuntu ikhazimuliswe.
Yesu akabhajibu akajobha, “Saa jhifikiri kwa ndabha jha Muana ghwa Adamu kutukusibhwa.
24 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi ngaphandle kokuthi uhlamvu lwengqoloyi luwele emhlabathini lufe, lusala lulokhu luluhlamvu olulodwa. Kodwa lungaze lufe luthela inhlamvu ezinengi.
Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela chembe jha ngano jhikabelayi kubina palifu jhikafwa, jhitama mebhwa jhiene; bali jhikafuayi jhihogola matunda mingi.
25 Umuntu othanda impilo yakhe izamlahlekela ikanti umuntu ozonda impilo yakhe kulo umhlaba uzayilondolozela ingunaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
Jhaabhuganili uhai bhwa muene ibetakubhujhasya; bali jhaabhudadili uhai bhwa muene pa uloimwengu obho ibetakubhusalimisya hata uzima bhwa milele. (aiōnios g166)
26 Lowo ongikhonzayo kumele angilandele, lalapho engikhona lesikhonzi sami sikhona. UBaba uzamdumisa lowo ongikhonzayo.
Munu jhejhioha jhaibetakunitumikila nene, na anikesiajhi; nani pa nijhele ndipo ni n'tumishi ghwangu paibetakujha. Munu jhejhioha jhaibetakunitumikila, Dadi ibetakun'heshi.
27 Khathesi inhliziyo yami ikhathazekile. Kambe ngingatsho na ngithi, ‘Baba, ngihlenga singafiki lesosikhathi’? Hatshi, kwakungenxa yalesisizatho ukuze ngingene kulesisikhathi.
Henu roho jha nene ifadhaiki: nani nijobhabhuli? Dadi, uniokolayi katika lisaa e'le? Lakini kwa kusudi e'le nijhifikili lisaa e'le.
28 Baba, khazimulisa ibizo lakho!” Kwasekufika ilizwi livela ezulwini lisithi, “Sengilikhazimulisile, ngizaphinda ngilikhazimulise.”
Dadi, ulitukusiajhi lihina lya jhobhi.” Kisha sauti ikahida kuh'omela kumbinguni ni kujobha, “Nilitukuisi nani nibetakulitukusya kabhele.”
29 Ixuku labantu elalilapho elalizwayo ilizwi lathi kube lomdumo wezulu; abanye bathi ingilosi yayikhulume laye.
Basi n'kutano ghwajhemili palubhafu pa muene bhap'eliki, bhakajobha kujha kujhe ni ngurumo. Bhangi bhakajobha, “Malaika ajobhi naku.”
30 UJesu wathi, “Ilizwi leli belingelokusiza lina, hayi mina.
Yesu akajibu ni kujobha, “Sauti ejhe jhikahidi lepi kwa ndabha jha nene, bali kwandabha jha muenga.
31 Manje sekuyisikhathi sokwahlulela kulo umhlaba; manje inkosi yalo umhlaba isizaxotshwa.
Henu hukumu jha ulimwengu obhu jhijhele: Henu mbaha ghwa ulimwengu obhu isopibhwa kwibhala.
32 Kodwa mina nxa sengiphakanyisiwe ngisuswa emhlabeni, ngizabadonsela kimi bonke abantu.”
Ni nene panibetakujhinulibhwa panani pa nchi, nibetakubhatafuta bhoha kwa nene.”
33 Wakutsho lokhu eveza ukuthi wayezakufa ukufa okunjani.
Aghajobhili aghu kulasya kujha mauti gani gha ibetakufwa.
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)
Mkutano bhukan'jibu, “Tete tup'eliki ku sheria kujha Kristu ibetakutamisya hata milele. Ni bhe ghwijobhuli, 'Mwana ghwa Adamu lazima ajhinulibhwayi kunani'? Ojho Muana ghwa Munu niani?” (aiōn g165)
35 UJesu wabatshela wathi, “Lizakuba lakho ukukhanya okwesikhatshana esithile. Hambani liseselakho ukukhanya, ubumnyama bungakaligubuzeli. Umuntu ophumputha emnyameni kakwazi lapho aya khona.
Basi Yesu akabhajobhela, “Nuru jhijhepamonga namu muda kidogo. Mulotayi kwa kujha mujhe ni nuru, ili kwamba ngisi jhisibhabhwesi. Jhailota ku ngisi amanyilepi kwa ilota.
36 Bekani ithemba lenu ekukhanyeni liseselakho ukuze libe ngamadodana okukhanya.” Wathi eseqedile ukukhuluma uJesu wasuka kubo wayazifihla.
Mujhe ni nuru mujhiaminiajhi nuru ejhu ili mukabhayi kujha bhana bha nuru.” Yesu ajobhili aghu ni kisha akabhoka akakifigha bhasimboni.
37 Lanxa uJesu wayeseyenze yonke imimangaliso le emehlweni abo babelokhu bengakholwa kuye.
Ingabhwa Yesu abhombili ishara simehele namna ejhu mbele jha bhene, bado bhabelikumwamini
38 Lokhu kwakugcwalisa ilizwi lika-Isaya umphrofethi elithi: “Nkosi, ngubani olikholiweyo ilizwi lethu na, njalo amandla eNkosi ambulelwe ubani na?”
ili litimilayi lilobhi lya nabii Isaya, lyaalijobhili: “Bwana, niani jhaasisadiki habari sya tete? Ni kibhoko kya Bwana afunulibhu niani?”
39 Ngalesisizatho babengeke bakholwa ngoba u-Isaya uyatsho komunye umbhalo ukuthi:
Ndio sababu bhene bhabeli kun'kiera, ndabha Isaya ajobhi kabhele,
40 “Uwafiphazile amehlo abo wathundubeza inhliziyo zabo ukuze bangaboni ngamehlo abo njalo bangezwisisi ngenhliziyo zabo, loba baphenduke, ukuze ngibasilise.”
“Abhapofuisi mihu, ni kujhibhomba minonono mioyo jha bhene; bhasihidi bhakalota kwa mihu gha bhene ni kumanya kwa mioyo ghya bhene, ni kuongoka nani kubhaponyesya.”
41 U-Isaya wakutsho lokhu ngoba wayibona inkazimulo kaJesu njalo wayekhuluma ngaye.
Isaya ajobhili malobhi agha kwa kujha aubhwene utukufu bhwa Yesu ni kujobha habari sya muene.
42 Kodwa loba kunjalo, abanengi labanye abakhokheli bakholwa kuye. Kodwa ngenxa yabaFarisi kabalufakazanga ukholo lwabo besesaba ukuthi bazaxotshwa esinagogweni;
Bhalakini, hata bhabhaha bhingi bhan'kyeriri Yesu; lakini kwa ndabha jha Mafarisayo, bhakiririlepi ili bhasihidi kutengibhwa ni sinagogi.
43 ngoba babethanda ukubukwa ngabantu okwedlula ukubukwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu.
Bhaganili sifa sya bhanadamu kuliko sifa syasihomela kwa K'yara.
44 UJesu wasememeza wathi, “Nxa umuntu ekholwa kimi, kakholwa kimi kuphela kodwa kuye lowo ongithumileyo.
Yesu akakuesya sauti ni kujobha, “Jhaibetakuniamini, akaniamini nene tu bali ni muene jhaanitumili nene,
45 Nxa ekhangela mina ubona yena lowo ongithumileyo.
ni jhaibetakunibhona nene ibetakumbona muene jha anilaghisi.
46 Ngibuye emhlabeni ngiyikukhanya ukuze angabikhona okholwa kimi ozahlala ebumnyameni.
Nene nihidili kama nuru pa ulimwengu ili khila munu aniaminiayi nene asitami mu ngisi.
47 Nxa umuntu ewezwa amazwi ami kodwa angawagcini, angimahluleli mina. Phela kangilandanga ukuzowahlulela umhlaba kodwa ukuzowusindisa.
Ikajhelayi munu jhejhioha ibetakughap'eleka malobhi ghangu lakini akaghakamula lepi, nene nikan'hukumu lepi; ndabha nahidilepi ili kuhukumu ulimwengu bali nibhuokolayi ulimwengu.
48 Ukhona umahluleli walowo ongalayo, ongawemukeliyo amazwi ami; lawomazwi engawakhulumayo uqobo azamlahla ngosuku lokucina.
Jhaibetakunibela nene ni kughabela malobhi ghangu ajhele jhaibetakun'hukumu: lilobhi e'lu lyanilijobhili ndo lyalibetakun'hukumu ligono lya mwishu.
49 Ngoba kangizikhulumelanga ngokwentando yami kodwa uBaba owangithumayo wangilaya ukuthi ngithini lokuthi ngikutsho kanjani.
Ndabha nene najobhilepi kwa nafsi jha nene tu. Bali Dadi jha anipeliki, muene angaghisi ghaibetakujobha ni kughapanga.
50 Ngiyazi ukuthi umlayo wakhe uholela ekuphileni kwaphakade. Ngakho loba kuyini engikutshoyo yikho lokho uBaba angitshele khona ukuthi ngikutsho.” (aiōnios g166)
Nani nimanyili kujha lilaghisu lya muene ni bhusima bhwa milele; basi aghu ndo ghanijobha nene - kama Dadi kyaanijobhili, ndo kyanibeta kujobha kwa bhene.” (aiōnios g166)
