UJohane 14
1 Inhliziyo yenu kayingakhathazeki; liyakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kholwani lakimi.
Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi, “Myoyo yenu kaitashupika. Kamushomani Lesa, kayi mushome nenjame.
2 Ekhaya likaBaba kukhona izindlu ezinengi; kodwa uba kwakungenjalo, ngabe ngalitshela. Ngiyahamba ukuyalilungisela indawo.
munga'nda muli Bata muli bipinda bingi yakwikalamo necabula kubeco, nendalamwambila. Ndenga akumubambila misena.
3 Njalo nxa ngihamba ngisiyalilungisela indawo, ngizabuya futhi ngilemukele kimi; ukuze kuthi lapho mina engikhona, libe khona lani.
Lino ndakapwisha kumubambila misena, ninkabwele kwisakumumanta, kwambeti mukabenga nkweshinkabenga.
4 Lalapho mina engiya khona liyakwazi, lendlela liyayazi.
Cakubinga nkondenga mukwinshi, nenshila muyinshi.”
5 UTomasi wathi kuye: Nkosi, kasikwazi lapho oya khona; pho, singayazi njani indlela?
Tomasi walambeti, “Mwami, nkatukwinshi nkomulenga, nomba nshila yakwilako ngatuyinshibaconi?”
6 UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyindlela, leqiniso, lempilo; kakho oza kuBaba, kodwa ngami.
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “ame njame nshila, kayi njame cancine ncine nebuyumi. Paliya muntu welakuya kuli Bata, kwakubula kupitila muli njame.
7 Uba belingazile, belizamazi loBaba; njalo kusukela khathesi liyamazi, selimbonile.
Pakwinga nemunjishi, nemwabeshiba Bata. Kufumina lelo mulabenshibi kayi mulababono.”
8 UFiliphu wathi kuye: Nkosi, sitshengise uYihlo, njalo kusanele.
Filipo walambeti, “Mwami tulesheni Bata kwambeti tushome.”
9 UJesu wathi kuye: Sengilani isikhathi eside kangaka, kawukangazi, Filiphu? Yena obone mina, ubone uBaba; njalo utsho njani ukuthi: Sitshengise uYihlo?
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Filipo, ndekala nenu cindi citali, nomba nkotana unjinshiba? Labono ame elababono Bata. Nomba nicani ulambangeti, ‘Kotulesha Baiso?
10 Kawukholwa yini ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, loBaba ukimi? Amazwi mina engiwakhuluma kini, kangizikhulumeli ngokwami; kodwa uBaba ohlezi kimi, yena wenza imisebenzi.
Sena nkaulashomonga kwambeti ame nkute kwikala muli Bata, kayi Bata bakute kwikala muli njame? Maswi ngonkute kumwambila nkakute kufuma kuli njame ndenka sobwe, nsombi Bata abakute kwikala muli njame, endibo bakute kwinsa bintu byonsebi.
11 Ngikholwani ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, loBaba ukimi; njalo uba kungenjalo, ngikholwani ngenxa yemisebenzi ngokwayo.
Kamunshomani kwambeti ame nkute kwikala muli Bata kayi Bata bakute kwikala muli njame. Nanteco, shomani ncito shakame.
12 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Okholwa kimi, imisebenzi engiyenzayo uzayenza laye, lemikhulu kulale uzayenza; ngoba mina ngiya kuBaba.
Cakubinga ndambilishingeti uyo lanshomonga mulimo ngondenshinga nendi nakawinse, pakwinga ndenga kuli Bata neco nendi nakense byapita pali ibi.
13 Njalo loba yini eliyicelayo ngebizo lami, le ngizayenza, ukuze uYise adunyiswe eNdodaneni.
Neco ciliconse ncoshimukasenge muLina lyakame, ninkacinse kwambeti Bata bakapewe bulemu kupitila mu Mwanabo.
14 Uba licela loba yini ebizweni lami, mina ngizayenza.
Ninkense ciliconse ncoshi mukasenge muLina lyakame.”
15 Uba lingithanda, londolozani imilayo yami.
“Na munsuni, konkelani milawo yakame.
Lino ninkasenge Bata kwambeti, bakamupe weshikumunyamfwilisha naumbi uyo eshakekale nenu masuba onse. (aiōn g165)
17 uMoya weqiniso, ongememukele umhlaba, ngoba ungamboni, ungamazi. Kodwa lina liyamazi, ngoba uhlala lani, njalo uzakuba kini.
Mushimu Uswepa nukamuleshe cancine ncine. Cishi nkacela kumutambula sobwe, pakwinga nkacimubono kayi nkacimwinshi. Nsombi amwe mumwinshi, pakwinga ukute kwikala muli njamwe, kayi nakekale muli njamwe kwacindi conse.
18 Kangiyikulitshiya lizintandane; ngizakuza kini.
“Nteshi ndimushiyeti bana banshiwa. Ninkese kayi kuli njamwe.
19 Kube kanti okwesikhatshana, lomhlaba kawusayikungibona, kodwa lina lizangibona; ngoba mina ngiyaphila, lani lizaphila.
Kulashalowa kacindi kang'ana, cishi capanshi nteshi cikambonepo nsombi amwe nimukambone. Pakwinga ndemuyumi, nenjamwe nimukabe bayumi.
20 Ngalolosuku lina lizakwazi ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, lani likimi, lami ngikini.
Pabusuba ubo nimukenshibeti Bata, nenjame tuli muntu umo, kayi amwe nenjame tuli muntu umo.
21 Olemilayo yami ayilondoloze, nguye ongithandayo; njalo yena ongithandayo, uzathandwa nguBaba; lami ngizamthanda, ngizazibonakalisa kuye.
“Muntu latambulunga milawo yakame nekwikonka, endiye unsuni. Kayi uyo unsuni ame, Bata nibakamusune. Nenjame ninkamusune, kayi nakenshibe ncombele.”
22 UJudasi, ongesuye uIskariyothi, wathi kuye: Nkosi, kungani uzazibonakalisa kithi, kodwa kungeyisikho kumhlaba?
Yuda naumbi, kutamba usa Yuda Iskaliote sobwe, walamwipusheti, “Mwami nomba ngamuliyubululaconi kuli njafwe kwakubula kuliyubulula ku cishi capanshi?”
23 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Uba umuntu engithanda, uzalondoloza ilizwi lami, loBaba uzamthanda, njalo sizakuza kuye, sihlale laye.
Yesu walambeti, uyo unsuni, nakakonke ciyisho cakame. Nabo Bata nibakamusune, ame ne Bata nitukekale mulyendiye.
24 Yena ongangithandiyo, kawalondolozi amazwi ami; lelizwi elilizwayo kayisilo elami, kodwa ngelikaBaba ongithumileyo.
Muntu utansuni, nteshakakonkele ciyisho cakame. Maswi awa ngomulanyumfunga nteyo akame sobwe, nsombi na Bata balantuma.
25 Lezizinto ngizikhulumile kini ngihlezi lani.
Ndamwambilililimo nkandicili nenjamwe.
26 Kodwa uMduduzi, uMoya oyiNgcwele, uBaba azamthuma ebizweni lami, yena uzalifundisa zonke izinto, njalo alikhumbuze konke engakutshoyo kini.
Nsombi usa weshikunyamfwilisha, Mushimu Uswepa uyo Bata ngoshibakatume mulina lyakame, endiye weshakamwiyishe byonse, kayi nakamwanusheni byonse ibyo mbyondalamwambila kandicili nenjamwe.
27 Ukuthula ngikutshiya kini, ukuthula kwami ngilinika khona; kungeyisikho njengoba umhlaba unika, mina ngiyalinika. Inhliziyo yenu kayingakhathazwa, ingesabi.
Ndamupanga lumuno. Lumuno ndondelela kumupa. Ndamupanga lumuno lwapusana nelumuno ndocela kupa cishi capanshi. Neco myoyo yenu itashupika nambi kutina.
28 Lizwile ukuthi mina ngithe kini: Ngiyahamba njalo ngizabuya kini. Uba belingithanda, belizathokoza, ngoba ngithe: Ngiya kuBaba; ngoba uBaba mkhulu kulami.
Mulanyumfu mpondamwambilangeti, ndenga, nsombi ndakesanga kayi kuli njamwe. Nemunsuni, nemulakondwa kwambeti ndenga kuli Bata, pakwinga Bata bampita.
29 Njalo khathesi ngilitshelile kungakenzeki; ukuze, lapho sekusenzeka, likholwe.
Ndamwambilililimo bintu ibi nkabitana binshika, kwambeti byakenshika, mukashome.
30 Kangisayikukhuluma okunengi lani; ngoba umbusi walumhlaba uyeza, kodwa kalalutho kimi;
Nteshi mpitilishe kwamba nenjamwe pakwinga Satana mwami wa cishi capanshi, lesanga. Nomba uliya ngofu palinjame,
31 kodwa ukuze umhlaba wazi ukuthi ngiyamthanda uBaba, lokuthi njengoba uBaba engilayile, ngenze njalo. Sukumani, sisuke lapha.
Nomba bantu bonse bela kwinshiba kwambeti ame nsuni Bata, weco ndenshinga ncobalang'ambila. “Lino kamunyamuka twenga.”
