1 Emva kwalezizinto kwaba khona umkhosi wamaJuda; uJesu wasesenyukela eJerusalema.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲡϣⲁⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ.
2 Kwakukhona-ke lapho eJerusalema eduze lesango lezimvu ichibi, elithiwa ngesiHebheru iBethesda, lilamakhulusi amahlanu.

3 Kwakulele kuwo ixuku elikhulu labagulayo, eleziphofu, eleziqhuli, elabatshwabheneyo, belindele ukuzanyanzanyiswa kwamanzi.

4 Ngoba ingilosi yayisehlela echibini ngezikhathi ezithile, izamazamise amanzi; kuthi lowo ongene kuqala emva kokuzanyazanyiswa kwamanzi, asiliswe, loba yisiphi isifo ebesimbambile.

5 Njalo kwakukhona lapho umuntu othile owayelesifo okweminyaka engamatshumi amathathu leyisificaminwembili.

6 Kwathi uJesu embona elele, esazi ukuthi ulesikhathi eside enjalo, wathi kuye: Uyafuna ukuthi uphile yini?
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲉⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲱⲥⲕ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
7 Ogulayo wamphendula wathi: Nkosi, kangilamuntu wokungifaka echibini, nxa amanzi ezanyazanyiswa; kuthi nxa ngizayo mina, kwehle omunye phambi kwami.
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲱϩ ⲉϥⲉⲛⲟϫⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲕⲟⲗⲩⲙⲃⲏⲑⲣⲁ. ϩⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲏⲩ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ.
8 UJesu wathi kuye: Sukuma, uthathe icansi lakho, uhambe.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲅ̅ (ⲛⲅ̅)ϥⲓⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
9 Lowomuntu wahle waphila, wathatha icansi lakhe wahamba. Njalo kwakulisabatha mhlalokho.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲓⲡⲉϥϭⲗⲟϭ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ. ⲛⲉⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
10 Ngakho amaJuda athi kosilisiweyo: Kulisabatha; ngakho kawuvunyelwa ukuthwala icansi.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲗⲟ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥ̅ⲧⲟ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲓⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ.
11 Wawaphendula wathi: Ongiphilisileyo, yena uthe kimi: Thatha icansi lakho uhambe.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲓ̈. ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
12 Ngakho ambuza: Ngubani umuntu othe kuwe: Thatha icansi lakho uhambe?
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
13 Kodwa osilisiweyo wayengamazi ukuthi ungubani; ngoba uJesu wayesesithele, ngoba kukhona ixuku kuleyondawo.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲗⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ. ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲁϥⲥⲉϩⲧϥ̅. ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
14 Emva kwalezizinto uJesu wamfica ethempelini, wasesithi kuye: Khangela usuphilile; ungabe usona futhi, hlezi kwehle kuwe okunye okubi kulalokhu.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲕⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ.
15 Umuntu wasuka, watshela amaJuda ukuthi nguJesu owayemenze waphila.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲓ̈.
16 Njalo ngenxa yalokhu amaJuda amzingela uJesu, asedinga ukumbulala, ngoba wenza lezizinto ngesabatha.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ.
17 Kodwa uJesu wawaphendula wathi: UBaba uyasebenza kuze kube lamuhla, lami ngiyasebenza.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ.
18 Ngenxa yalokhu-ke amaJuda adinga kakhulu ukumbulala, ngoba wayengephulanga isabatha kuphela, kodwa wabuya wathi uNkulunkulu unguYise wakhe, ezenza olingana loNkulunkulu.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲉ͡ⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥϣⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
19 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: INdodana ingenze lutho ngokwayo, ngaphandle kwalokho ebona uYise ekwenza; ngoba loba yini yena ayenzayo, leNdodana iyenza lezizinto ngokunjalo.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲣⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ. ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲟⲙⲟⲓⲱⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ.
20 Ngoba uYise uyayithanda iNdodana, uyayitshengisa konke akwenzayo yena; njalo uzayitshengisa imisebenzi emikhulu kulale, ukuze lina limangale.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟϥ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ.
21 Ngoba njengalokhu uYise evusa abafileyo abaphilise, kunjalo-ke leNdodana iyabaphilisa labo ethandaukubaphilisa.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ.
22 Ngoba loYise kahluleli muntu, kodwa unike iNdodana konke ukwahlulela;
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ
23 ukuze bonke badumise iNdodana, njengalokhu bedumisa uYise. Ongayidumisiyo iNdodana, kamdumisi uYise oyithumileyo.

24 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Olizwayo ilizwi lami, akholwe kuye ongithumileyo, ulempilo elaphakade; njalo kangeni ekulahlweni, kodwa usedlule ekufeni waya empilweni. (aiōnios g166)

25 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ihola liyeza, njalo selikhona, lapho abafileyo bezalizwa ilizwi leNdodana kaNkulunkulu, lalabo abalizwileyo bazaphila.

26 Ngoba njengoba uYise elempilo ngokwakhe, kunjalo uyinikile layo iNdodana ukuthi ibe lempilo ngokwayo;
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲱⲧⲡⲱⲛϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
27 njalo uyiphile amandla lawokwahlulela, ngoba iyiNdodana yomuntu.

28 Lingamangali ngalokhu; ngoba ihola liyeza, lapho bonke abasemangcwabeni bazalizwa ilizwi layo,
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ
29 babesebephuma, labo abenze okulungileyo, ekuvukeni kwempilo; lalabo abenze okubi, ekuvukeni kokulahlwa.

30 Mina ngingenze lutho ngokwami; njengokuzwa kwami, ngiyahlulela; njalo ukwahlulela kwami kulungile; ngoba kangidingi intando yami, kodwa intando kaBaba ongithumileyo.
ⲗ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲧ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉϯⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲉ ⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲉ͡ⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲉ͡ⲓ.
31 Aluba ngizifakazela mina, ubufakazi bami abusiloqiniso.

32 Ukhona omunye ongifakazelayo mina, njalo ngiyazi ukuthi ubufakazi abufakaza ngami buliqiniso.

33 Lina lathumela kuJohane, walifakazela iqiniso.

34 Kodwa mina kangibemukeli ubufakazi obuvela emuntwini, kodwa ngitsho lezizinto ukuze lina lisindiswe.
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
35 Yena wayeyisibane esivuthayo lesikhanyayo, lani lavuma ukuthokoza okwesikhatshana ekukhanyeni kwakhe.

36 Kodwa mina ngilobufakazi obukhulu kulobukaJohane; ngoba imisebenzi uBaba anginike yona ukuze ngiyiqede, yonale imisebenzi mina engiyenzayo, iyangifakazela ukuthi uBaba ungithumile.

37 Laye uBaba ongithumileyo, yena ungifakazele. Kalikaze lilizwe ilizwi lakhe lanini, lesimo sakhe kalikaze lisibone,
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈. ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ
38 njalo kalilalizwi lakhe elihlala phakathi kwenu, ngoba amthumileyo yena, lowo lina kalimkholwa.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲏ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
39 Hlolani imibhalo, ngoba lina licabanga ukuthi lilempilo elaphakade kiyo, njalo yiyo engifakazelayo; (aiōnios g166)

40 kodwa kalivumi ukuza kimi, ukuze libe lempilo.

42 kodwa ngiyalazi lina, ukuthi kalilalo uthando lukaNkulunkulu phakathi kwenu.

43 Mina ngizile ebizweni likaBaba, kodwa kalingemukeli; uba omunye esiza ngelakhe ibizo, lizamemukela yena.

44 Lingakholwa njani lina, nxa lisemukela udumo omunye komunye, kodwa lingaludingi udumo oluvela kuNkulunkulu oyedwa?

45 Lingacabangi ukuthi mina ngizalimangalela kuBaba; ukhona olimangalelayo, uMozisi, elithemba kuye lina.
