UJohane 10
1 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ongangeni ngesango esibayeni sezimvu, kodwa akhwele kwenye indawo, lowo ulisela lomphangi;
“Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo, onipa biara a ɔmfa nnwammuo ɛkwan ano na ɔforo kɔ mu no yɛ owifoɔ.
2 kodwa ongena ngesango ungumelusi wezimvu.
Onipa a ɔfa ɛkwan ano kɔ mu no ne odwanhwɛfoɔ no.
3 Umlindi wesango uyamvulela, lezimvu ziyalizwa ilizwi lakhe, njalo uyazibiza ezakhe izimvu ngamabizo, azikhokhelele phandle.
Ɛpono no anohwɛfoɔ no bue ɛpono no ma no, na sɛ ɔfrɛ nnwan no nso a, wɔte ne nne ma ɔde wɔn firi adi.
4 Nxa esezikhuphile ezakhe izimvu, uhamba phambi kwazo; lezimvu zimlandele, ngoba ziyalazi ilizwi lakhe.
Sɛ ɔde wɔn firi adi a, ɔdi nnwan no anim na nnwan no nso di nʼakyi, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔte ne nne.
5 Kodwa owemzini kazisoze zimlandele, kodwa zizambalekela; ngoba kazilazi ilizwi labemzini.
Wɔrenni onipa foforɔ biara akyi. Na sɛ ɔfrɛ wɔn a, wɔremma, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnte ne nne.”
6 UJesu wakhuluma lumfanekiso kubo; kodwa bona kabaqedisisanga ukuthi ziyini izinto azitshoyo kubo.
Yesu buu wɔn saa bɛ yi nanso nnipa no ante no ase.
7 Ngakho uJesu waphinda wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Mina ngilisango lezimvu;
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn bio sɛ, “Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, mene nnwammuo no ano ɛpono no.
8 bonke abake bafika phambi kwami bangamasela labaphangi; kodwa izimvu kazibezwanga.
Wɔn a wɔdii mʼanim kane no yɛ awifoɔ ne adwotwafoɔ, ɛno enti, nnwan no ante wɔn nne, anni wɔn akyi.
9 Mina ngilisango; uba umuntu engena ngami, uzasindiswa, angene aphume, athole idlelo.
Mene ɛpono no. Obiara a ɔnam me so bɛwura mu no bɛnya nkwa; wɔbɛwura mu asane afiri adi na wɔbɛnya adidibea.
10 Isela kalizi ngaphandle kokuzakweba lokubulala lokubhubhisa; mina ngizile ukuze babe lempilo, babe layo iphuphume.
Owifoɔ ba a, ɔbɛwia anaasɛ ɔbɛdi awu anaasɛ ɔbɛsɛe adeɛ. Me deɛ, maba, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛnya nkwa a ɛho nni asɛm biara.
11 Mina ngingumelusi olungileyo. Umelusi olungileyo uzibekela phansi izimvu impilo yakhe.
“Mene odwanhwɛfoɔ pa no. Odwanhwɛfoɔ pa no ne obi a ɔtumi de ne nkwa to hɔ ma ne nnwan.
12 Kodwa oqhatshiweyo, engesuye umelusi, izimvu zingesizo ezakhe, ubona impisi isiza, atshiye izimvu, abaleke; kuthi impisi izibambe, izichithachithe izimvu.
Obi a wɔabɔ no paa sɛ ɔnhwɛ nnwan so no nyɛ nnwan no wura ɛno enti, sɛ ɔhunu sɛ pataku reba a, ɔdwane gya nnwan no hɔ, na pataku no to hyɛ nnwan no so ma wɔbɔ pete.
13 Oqhatshiweyo uyabaleka-ke, ngoba engoqhatshiweyo, njalo engazikhathaleli izimvu.
Ɔpaani no dwane ɛfiri sɛ, wɔabɔ no paa, na nnwan no yiedie mfa ne ho.
14 Mina ngingumelusi olungileyo, ngiyazazi ezami, ngiyaziwa ngezami,
“Mene odwanhwɛfoɔ pa no. Menim me nnwan na me nnwan nso nim me,
15 njengalokhu uBaba engazi, lami ngiyamazi uBaba; ngizibekela phansi izimvu impilo yami.
sɛdeɛ Agya no nim me na me nso menim Agya no. Masiesie me ho nso sɛ mɛwu ama nnwan no.
16 Njalo ngilezinye izimvu, ezingesizo zalesisibaya; lazo kumele ngizilethe, njalo zizakuzwa ilizwi lami; njalo kube mhlambi munye, melusi munye.
Nnwan afoforɔ bi wɔ hɔ a wɔyɛ me dea nanso wɔnnya mmɛkaa saa nnwankuo yi ho. Ɛsɛ sɛ mede wɔn nso bɛka saa nnwankuo yi ho. Wɔbɛtie me nne na wɔbɛyɛ nnwankuo baako a odwanhwɛfoɔ baako pɛ na ɔhwɛ wɔn so.
17 Ngenxa yalokhu uBaba uyangithanda, ngoba mina ngibeka phansi impilo yami, ukuze ngibuye ngiyithathe.
Agya no dɔ me ɛfiri sɛ, masiesie me ho sɛ mede me nkwa bɛto hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a daakye me nsa bɛka bio.
18 Kakho ongemuka yona, kodwa mina ngiyibeka phansi ngokwami. Ngilamandla okuyibeka phansi, njalo ngilamandla okubuya ngiyithathe. Lumlayo ngiwemukele kuBaba.
Obiara rentumi nnye me nkwa mfiri me nsam. Me ara me pɛ mu na mede bɛma. Mewɔ tumi sɛ mede ma na mewɔ tumi nso sɛ mesane gye bio. Yei ne deɛ mʼAgya ahyɛ me sɛ menyɛ no.”
19 Ngakho kwaba khona futhi ukwehlukana phakathi kwamaJuda ngenxa yalamazwi.
Asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no enti, ɛmaa mpaapaemu baa Yudafoɔ no mu.
20 Labanengi bawo bathi: Uledimoni futhi uyahlanya; limlalelelani?
Wɔn mu pii kaa sɛ, “Ɔwɔ honhommɔne! Nʼadwene mu ka no! Adɛn enti na motie no?”
21 Amanye athi: Lamazwi kawasiwo wongenwe lidimoni; kambe idimoni lingavula amehlo eziphofu yini?
Afoforɔ nso kaa sɛ, “Onipa a ɔwɔ honhommɔne rentumi nkasa sei! Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na obi a ɔwɔ honhommɔne bɛtumi ama onifirani ahunu adeɛ?”
22 Kwakukhona umkhosi wokuvuselela eJerusalema, kwakusebusika;
Awɔberɛ bi mu a Asɔredandwira duruu wɔ Yerusalem no,
23 uJesu wasehambahamba ethempelini ekhulusini likaSolomoni.
Yesu kɔpasee asɔredan no mu baabi a wɔfrɛ no Salomo Abrannaa no so hɔ.
24 AmaJuda asemhanqa, athi kuye: Koze kube nini usilibazisa? Uba wena unguKristu, sitshele ngokucacileyo.
Yudafoɔ no bɛtwaa ne ho hyiaeɛ kaa sɛ, “Wobɛma yɛatwɛn akɔsi da bɛn? Sɛ wone Kristo no a, pae mu ka kyerɛ yɛn.”
25 UJesu wawaphendula wathi: Ngalitshela, kodwa kalikholwanga; imisebenzi mina engiyenza ebizweni likaBaba, yiyo engifakazelayo;
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Maka akyerɛ mo dada, nanso monnnye me nni. Me nnwuma a menam mʼAgya tumi mu yɛ no di me ho adanseɛ,
26 kodwa lina kalikholwa; ngoba kalisibo abezimvu zami, njengokutsho kwami kini.
nanso monnnye nni, ɛfiri sɛ, monnyɛ me nnwan.
27 Izimvu zami ziyalizwa ilizwi lami, lami ngiyazazi, futhi ziyangilandela;
Me nnwan te me nne, me nso menim wɔn na wɔdi mʼakyi.
29 UBaba ozinike mina, mkhulu kulabo bonke; kungekho njalo ongazihluthuna esandleni sikaBaba.
MʼAgya a ɔde wɔn maa me no wɔ tumi sene obiara, na obiara rentumi nnye wɔn mfiri me nsam.
30 Mina loBaba simunye.
Me ne Agya no yɛ baako.”
31 Ngakho amaJuda aphinda athatha amatshe ukuze amkhande ngawo.
Yudafoɔ no sane tasee aboɔ sɛ anka wɔde rebɛsi no.
32 UJesu wawaphendula wathi: Ngilitshengise imisebenzi eminengi emihle evela kuBaba; yiwuphi umsebenzi kuyo elingikhandela wona ngamatshe?
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mayɛ nnwuma pa pii a Agya no de hyɛɛ me nsa sɛ menyɛ no ama moahunu, na emu deɛ ɛwɔ he ho enti na mopɛ sɛ mosi me aboɔ yi?”
33 AmaJuda amphendula athi: Kasikukhandi ngamatshe ngenxa yomsebenzi omuhle, kodwa ngenxa yenhlamba, langokuthi wena ungumuntu uzenza uNkulunkulu.
Yudafoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ wo nnwuma pa bi a woayɛ no enti na yɛpɛ sɛ yɛsi wo aboɔ, na mmom, wʼabususɛm a wokaeɛ no enti. Woyɛ onipa dasani nso woyɛ wo ho sɛ Onyankopɔn!”
34 UJesu wawaphendula wathi: Kakulotshiwe yini emlayweni wenu ukuthi: Mina ngathi: Lingonkulunkulu?
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ wɔ mo ara ankasa mo mmara mu sɛ, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, ‘Moyɛ anyame.’
35 Uba wababiza bona ngokuthi ngonkulunkulu, eleza kubo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu, njalo umbhalo ungephulwe,
Ɛno enti, sɛ Onyankopɔn nam anyamesɛm a ɛyɛ nokorɛ so frɛ wɔn a Onyankopɔn asɛm baa wɔn nkyɛn no sɛ ‘anyame’ a,
36 lowo uBaba amehlukanisileyo wamthuma emhlabeni, kanti lina lithi: Uyahlambaza, ngoba ngithe: NgiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu?
ɛyɛ dɛn na sɛ deɛ Agya no somaa no baa ewiase no ka sɛ, mene Onyankopɔn Ba no a mose waka abususɛm?
37 Uba ngingenzi imisebenzi kaBaba, kalingakholwa kimi.
Sɛ menyɛ nnwuma a mʼAgya pɛ sɛ meyɛ no deɛ a, ɛnneɛ monnnye me nni.
38 Kodwa uba ngiyenza, lanxa lingakholwa kimi, kholwani imisebenzi; ukuze lazi likholwe ukuthi uBaba ukimi, lami ngikuye.
Nanso, sɛ meyɛ mʼAgya no nnwuma na sɛ monnye me nni mpo a, monnye nnwuma no nni sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛgye adi sɛ Agya no wɔ me mu na me nso mewɔ ne mu.”
39 Ngakho adinga futhi ukumbamba; kodwa waphunyuka esandleni sabo.
Nkurɔfoɔ no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no bio, nanso wɔantumi.
40 Wasebuya wasuka waya ngaphetsheya kweJordani kundawo lapho uJohane ayebhabhathiza khona kuqala; wasehlala khona.
Yesu sane tware kɔɔ Yordan agya wɔ faako a Yohane bɔ asu no kɔtenaa hɔ.
41 Labanengi beza kuye, bathi: UJohane kenzanga sibonakaliso; kodwa konke uJohane akutsho ngalo, kwakuliqiniso.
Nnipa bebree kɔɔ ne nkyɛn. Wɔn mu dodoɔ no ara kaa sɛ, “Yohane anyɛ anwanwadeɛ, nanso biribiara a ɔka faa saa ɔbarima yi ho no yɛ nokorɛ.”
42 Abanengi basebekholwa kuye lapho.
Nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no mu bebree gyee no diiɛ.
