UJohane 14
1 “Inhliziyo zenu kazingakhathazeki. Kholwani kuNkulunkulu; likholwe lakimi.
Kana uuruhusu mwoyo wako kuwa mu'mahangaiko. Umwaminiya Nnongo niaminiye ni nenga.
2 Emzini kaBaba kulezindlu ezinengi; aluba kwakungenjalo ngabe ngalitshela. Ngiya khona ukuyalilungisela indawo.
Mu'nyumba ya Tate bango kwabile na makazi ganansima ya tama; kati yaibile kwaa nyoo, nabile natikwaminiya, kwa mwanja nayenda kuandalia pandu kwa ajili yako.
3 Njalo nxa sengiyile ukulilungisela indawo ngizabuya ngizolithatha ukuthi libe lami, ukuze libe lami lapho engikhona.
Kati nalowa yenda ni kuaandalia mahali, nalowa isa kae kuwa karibisha kwango, ili palyo nanibile ni mwenga mube mpamo ni nenga.
4 Liyayazi indlela eya lapho engiyakhona.”
Mutangite ndela ya pandu nilowa boka.”
5 UThomasi wathi kuye, “Nkosi, kasikwazi lapho oya khona, pho singayazi kanjani indlela na?”
Tomaso ammakiye Yesu, “Ngwana, tutangite kwaa mahali pa tuyenda; Je! Twaweza kuitanga ndela?
6 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Mina ngiyiyo indlela njalo ngiliqiniso lokuphila. Kakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kwami.
Yesu kammakiya, “Nenga na ndela, kweli, ni ukoto; ntopo ywaweza kuisa kwa Tate bila pitya kwango.
7 Aluba belingazi ngempela, belizamazi loBaba. Kusukela khathesi, selimazi njalo selimbonile.”
Kati mwamunitangite nenga, mwalowa kuntanga ni Tate bango pia; nambeambe ni kuyendelya mwani tanga na mumbwenile ywembe.”
8 UFiliphu wathi, “Nkosi, sitshengise uBaba ngoba yikho lokho okuzasanelisa.”
Filipo atikum'bakiya Yesu, “Ngwana, na eyo yaliwa kupangika yatutosha.”
9 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lokhe ungangazi na Filiphu, emva kwesikhathi eside kangaka ngilani? Lowo ongibonileyo usembonile uBaba. Ungatsho kanjani ukuthi, ‘Sitshengise uBaba’?
Yesu kammakiya, “Niisile kwaa pamope ni mwenga kwa muda mrefu, ni bado unitangite kwaa nenga, Filipo? Yeyote ywanibweni nenga mweni Tate; mwanja namani wabaya,'Tubonekeye Tate'?
10 Kawukholwa yini ukuthi ngikuBaba lokuthi uBaba ukimi? Amazwi engiwakhulumayo kini akusiwami. Kodwa nguBaba ophila kimi owenzayo umsebenzi wakhe.
Muaminiye kwaa kuwa nenga nibile nkati ya yango? Maneno yanilongela kwinu nigabaya kwaa mu'makusudi gango mwene; badala yake, ni Tate ywatama nkati yango ywapangite kazi yake.
11 Kholwani kimi nxa ngisithi ngikuBaba loBaba ukimi; loba ukukholwa ubufakazi bemimangaliso ngokwayo nje zwi.
Niaminiye nenga, kuwa nibile nkati ya Tate, ni Tate abile nkati yango, kadhalika niamini nenga kwa sababu ya kazi yango.
12 Ngiqinisile ukuthi lowo okholwa kimi uzakwenza lokho ebengikwenza. Uzakwenza izinto ezinkulu kulalezi ngoba ngiya kuBaba.
Amini, amini, niabakiya, ywembe ywaniaminiye, nenga yaniipangite, alowa kuipanga kazi yee kae; na napanga kazi ngolo kwasababu nalowa kuyenda kwa Tate.
13 Njalo ngizakwenza noma yini eliyicelayo ngebizo lami ukuze iNdodana ilethe inkazimulo kuBaba.
Chochote cha mukiloba mu'lina lyango, nalowa kulipanga ili Tate aweze tukuzwa nkati ya mwana.
14 Lingacela noma yini ngebizo lami, ngizakwenza.”
Kati mwamuloba kilebe chochote mu'lina lyango, alee nilowa kulipanga.
15 “Nxa lingithanda, gcinani imilayo yami.
Kati mwamunipendile, mwalowa kuikamwa amri yango.
16 Ngizacela kuBaba ukuthi alinike omunye umeli ukuthi alisize abe lani kuze kube laphakade, (aiōn g165)
Na nalowa kumloba Tate, Ni ywembe alowa kuapeya Msaidizi ywenge ili kuwa aweze kuwa pamope ni mwenga milele, (aiōn g165)
17 uMoya weqiniso. Ilizwe ngeke limamukele ngoba kalimboni njalo kalimazi. Kodwa lina liyamazi ngoba uhlala lani njalo uzakuba lani.
Roho wa kweli. Ulimwengu uweza kwaa kumpokya ywembe kwa sababu mumweni kwaa, au atama pamope ni mwenga abile nkati yinu.
18 Kangisoze ngilitshiye lizintandane, ngizabuya kini.
Naaleka kwaa peke yinu; Nalowa isa kwinu.
19 Kakusekhatshana ukuthi umhlaba ungabe usangibona njalo kodwa lina lizangibona. Ngenxa yokuthi ngiyaphila, lani lizaphila futhi.
Kwa muda nchunu, ulimwengu unibonikeya kwaa kae, lakini mwenga mwanibweni. Kwa sababu natama, ni mwenga mwalowa tama kae.
20 Ngalolosuku lizakunanzelela ukuthi ngikuBaba, lina likimi, lami ngikini.
Nkati ya lisoba lee mwaatanga kuwa nenga nibile nkati ya Tate, na kuwa mwenga mwabile nkati yinu, na kuwa nenga nibile nkati yinu.
21 Lowo olayo imilayo yami, ayigcine, nguye ongithandayo. Lowo ongithandayo uzathandwa nguBaba njalo lami ngizamthanda ngiziveze kuye.”
Yeyote ywaikamwile amri yango ni kuipanga, nga yumo ywanipenda nee; ni ywanipenda nenga alowa pendwa ni Tate bango, na nalowa kumpenda na nalowa kuibonekeya nenga mwene kwake.”
22 Ngakho uJudasi (hatshi uJudasi Iskariyothi) wathi, “Kodwa Nkosi, kungani ujonge ukuziveza kithi, hatshi emhlabeni na?”
Yuda (Iskariote kwaa) kammakiya Yesu, “Ngwana, Je! chalopangika kinamani ili kuibonekeya wa mwene kwitu na ni kwa ulimwengu kwaa?
23 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lowo ongithandayo uzalalela imfundiso yami. UBaba uzamthanda njalo sizakuza kuye sakhe umuzi wethu kanye laye.
Yesu kanyangwa ni kumbakiya, “Kati yeyote ywanipendae, alowa kulikamwa neno lyangi, Tate bango alowa kumpenda, ni tuisa kwake ni kupanga makao yitu pamope ni ywembe.
24 Lowo ongangithandiyo kayikulalela imfundiso yami. Amazwi la eliwezwayo kayisiwo wami, ngakaBaba ongithumileyo.
Yeyote ywanipendi kwaa nenga, akamwi kwaa aneno yango. Neno lyabile mwaliyowa lyango kwaa ila lya Tate ywanitumile.
25 Konke lokhu ngikukhulume ngiseselani.
Niabayite makowe aga kwinu, wakati bado natama nkati yinu.
26 Kodwa uMeli, uMoya ONgcwele, uBaba azamthumela ebizweni lami, uzalifundisa zonke izinto njalo uzalikhumbuza konke engikukhulume kini.
Hata nyoo, Mfariji, Roho Mpeletau, ywabile Tate alowa kumtuma kwa lina lyango, alowa kuapundisha makowe yoti na alowa kuapanga mumkombokii yoti yaniabaya kwinu.
27 Ukuthula ngikutshiya kini; ukuthula kwami ngilinika khona. Kangiliniki njengokunika komhlaba. Lingakhathazeki ezinhliziyweni zenu njalo lingesabi.
Amani niapeya amani yango mwenga. Niapeya kwaa lee kati ulimwengu uboywite. Kana muipange moyo yinu kuwa ni mahangaiko, ni woga.
28 Langizwa ngisithi, ‘Ngiyahamba njalo ngizabuya kini.’ Kube belingithanda, ngabe liyathokoza ukuthi ngiya kuBaba, ngoba uBaba mkhulu kulami.
Muiyowine yee niabakiya,'Nalowa kuyenda zango, na nalowa isa kwinu.'Kati mwamunipendile nenga, mwabile ni puraha kwa sababu nayenda kwa Tate, kwa kuwa Tate nga nkolo kuliko nenga.
29 Sengilitshelile manje kungakenzakali ukuze kuthi nxa sekusenzakala likholwe.
Nambeambe niamakiyange kabla ipangike ili kwamba, wakati yaipangike, muweze kuaminiya.
30 Kangisayikukhuluma okunengi kini ngoba inkosi yalo umhlaba isisiza. Kayilamandla phezu kwami,
Nilongela kwaa ni nenga maneno yanyansima, kwa kuwa nkolo wa dunia yee ywaisa. Ywembe abile kwaa ni likakala nnani yango,
31 kodwa umhlaba umele wazi ukuthi ngiyamthanda uBaba lokuthi ngenza khona kanye uBaba angilaye khona. Wozani manje; kasisukeni lapha.”
lakini ili kwamba ulimwengu upate kuyowa kuwa nampena Tate, nenga napanga ywaniagizile Tate, kati ywanipeile amri. Muinue, ni tuboke mahali pano.
