UJohane 5
1 Emva kwalezizinto kwaba khona umkhosi wamaJuda; uJesu wasesenyukela eJerusalema.
Gwejire ogwo gwabha gwabheyeyo amalya Gabhayaudi, naYesu nalinya okugenda Yerusalemu.
2 Kwakukhona-ke lapho eJerusalema eduze lesango lezimvu ichibi, elithiwa ngesiHebheru iBethesda, lilamakhulusi amahlanu.
Na eyo Yerusalemu lyaliga liliyo litanga kumulyango gwajinama, linu lyaliga ditogwa munyaika ye Chiebrania Bethzatha, nalyo lili nebhuyumba bhitanu.
3 Kwakulele kuwo ixuku elikhulu labagulayo, eleziphofu, eleziqhuli, elabatshwabheneyo, belindele ukuzanyanzanyiswa kwamanzi.
Echise chinene cha bhalwaye chaliga chilimo abhaofu, abhalema, amwi nabhakomboleke bhaliga bhamamile mu chiyumba.
4 Ngoba ingilosi yayisehlela echibini ngezikhathi ezithile, izamazamise amanzi; kuthi lowo ongene kuqala emva kokuzanyazanyiswa kwamanzi, asiliswe, loba yisiphi isifo ebesimbambile.
Kulwejo, uliya aliga wo bhutangasi okwingila Munda ya manji gachali kufulungulwa akolele omuwanga okusoka ku chonachona chinu aliga chimugwatile kumwanya ogwo.
5 Njalo kwakukhona lapho umuntu othile owayelesifo okweminyaka engamatshumi amathathu leyisificaminwembili.
No munu umwi aliga alwaye kwo mwanya gwo myaka makuni gastu na munana aliga munda ye biyumba.
6 Kwathi uJesu embona elele, esazi ukuthi ulesikhathi eside enjalo, wathi kuye: Uyafuna ukuthi uphile yini?
Yesu ejile amulola amamile munda ye bhiyumba ejile amenya ati amamile ao kwo mwanya mulela Yesu amubwiliye ati, “Mbe owenda okubhayana muwanga?”
7 Ogulayo wamphendula wathi: Nkosi, kangilamuntu wokungifaka echibini, nxa amanzi ezanyazanyiswa; kuthi nxa ngizayo mina, kwehle omunye phambi kwami.
Uliya omulwaye nasubya ati, “Lata bhugenyi ntali na munu wo kuntula mwitanga omwanya amanji agaseluka. Omwanya gunu enilegeja okwingila omunu oundi katangatila.”
8 UJesu wathi kuye: Sukuma, uthathe icansi lakho, uhambe.
Yesu namubwila ati, “Imuka na witwike ebhimamilo byao ulibhate.”
9 Lowomuntu wahle waphila, wathatha icansi lakhe wahamba. Njalo kwakulisabatha mhlalokho.
Ao nao uliya omunu nabha muwanga, na gega obhulili bwaye na libhata. No lusiku lwaliga olusiku lwa isabhato.
10 Ngakho amaJuda athi kosilisiweyo: Kulisabatha; ngakho kawuvunyelwa ukuthwala icansi.
Kutyo Abhaaudi nibhamubya uliya omunu unu aosibwe, “Lelo ni lusiku lwa Isabhato, na kuganyibwe okugega ebhimamilo Chao.”
11 Wawaphendula wathi: Ongiphilisileyo, yena uthe kimi: Thatha icansi lakho uhambe.
Nasubya ati, omwene amwosha niwe ambwila, “Nugege echimamilo Chao na ulibhate.”
12 Ngakho ambuza: Ngubani umuntu othe kuwe: Thatha icansi lakho uhambe?
Nibhamubhusha, “Ni niga unu akubwila 'Ugege echimamilo chao na ulibhate?'”
13 Kodwa osilisiweyo wayengamazi ukuthi ungubani; ngoba uJesu wayesesithele, ngoba kukhona ixuku kuleyondawo.
Kubha oyo, aoleke atamumenyele kwokubha Yesu aliga asokeleyo kwa imbisike. Kwo kubha bhaliga bhanu bhafu olubhala olwo.
14 Emva kwalezizinto uJesu wamfica ethempelini, wasesithi kuye: Khangela usuphilile; ungabe usona futhi, hlezi kwehle kuwe okunye okubi kulalokhu.
Yesu namusanga uliya omunu mu yekalu na mwibwila ati, “Lola waolele! “Usige okukola bhibhi Lindi wasiga emisango mibhibhi muno.”
15 Umuntu wasuka, watshela amaJuda ukuthi nguJesu owayemenze waphila.
Omunu uyo nagenda na nabhabwila Abhayaudi ati Yesu niwe anyiulisishe
16 Njalo ngenxa yalokhu amaJuda amzingela uJesu, asedinga ukumbulala, ngoba wenza lezizinto ngesabatha.
Kutyo kwo kubha ye misango ejo Abhayaudi nibhamunyasha Yes, kwo kubha akolele emisango jinu ku lusiku lwa isabhato.
17 Kodwa uJesu wawaphendula wathi: UBaba uyasebenza kuze kube lamuhla, lami ngiyasebenza.
Yesu namubwila ati, “Lata wani kakola emilimu nolwo woli nanye enikola emilimu.”
18 Ngenxa yalokhu-ke amaJuda adinga kakhulu ukumbulala, ngoba wayengephulanga isabatha kuphela, kodwa wabuya wathi uNkulunkulu unguYise wakhe, ezenza olingana loNkulunkulu.
Kwo kubha Abhayaudi nibheyongesha okumulonda koleleki bhamwite ntali kwo kubha anyamuye isabhato, nawe kwo kumubhilikila Nyamuanga esemwene waye, nelinganya na Nyamuanga.
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.
Yesu namusubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali, Omwana atakutula okukola chinu chona chona atali chinu echo akolele kwi semwene waye bhinu kakola, kwo kubha chona chona Lata chinu akolele nicho no Omwana kaja okukola.
20 Ngoba uYise uyayithanda iNdodana, uyayitshengisa konke akwenzayo yena; njalo uzayitshengisa imisebenzi emikhulu kulale, ukuze lina limangale.
Kwo kubha Lata endele omwanana kamwelesha bhuli chinu kakola na alimwelesha emisango eminene kukila jinu koleleki atimutang'ang'ale.”
21 Ngoba njengalokhu uYise evusa abafileyo abaphilise, kunjalo-ke leNdodana iyabaphilisa labo ethandaukubaphilisa.
Kwo kubha kutyo Lata kabhasulula abhafuye na bhayana obhuanga ni kwo kutyo Omwana ona kamuyana obhuanga wona wona unu Kamwenda.
22 Ngoba loYise kahluleli muntu, kodwa unike iNdodana konke ukwahlulela;
Kwo kubha Lata atakulamula wona wona, nawe ayaye omwana okulamula.
23 ukuze bonke badumise iNdodana, njengalokhu bedumisa uYise. Ongayidumisiyo iNdodana, kamdumisi uYise oyithumileyo.
Koleleki omwana abhone echibhalo Omwana koleleki omwana bhamuyanile echibhalo Lata. Unu atakumuyana echibhalo omwana kamuyana echibhalo Lata unu antumile.
24 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Olizwayo ilizwi lami, akholwe kuye ongithumileyo, ulempilo elaphakade; njalo kangeni ekulahlweni, kodwa usedlule ekufeni waya empilweni. (aiōnios g166)
Nichimali, Nichimali, unu kongwa omusango gwani no kumwikilisha unu antumile anabho obhuanga bwa kajanende atalija kuntambala. Kulwejo, alabhile okusoka mu kufwa no kwingila mu bhuanga. (aiōnios g166)
25 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ihola liyeza, njalo selikhona, lapho abafileyo bezalizwa ilizwi leNdodana kaNkulunkulu, lalabo abalizwileyo bazaphila.
Nichimali, chimali, enibhabwila ati omwanya oguja na woli gulio abhafuye bhalyungwa lilaka lyo Mwana wa Nyamuanga, na bhona bhalyungwa bhalilama.
26 Ngoba njengoba uYise elempilo ngokwakhe, kunjalo uyinikile layo iNdodana ukuthi ibe lempilo ngokwayo;
Kwo kubha kutyo Lata ali no bhuanga munda yae omwene,
27 njalo uyiphile amandla lawokwahlulela, ngoba iyiNdodana yomuntu.
Kubha amuyaye Omwana kubha no bhuanga munda yae, na Lata amuyaye Omwana obhuinga koleleki alamule kwo kubha ni Mwana wo Munu.
28 Lingamangali ngalokhu; ngoba ihola liyeza, lapho bonke abasemangcwabeni bazalizwa ilizwi layo,
Mwasinga kutang'ang'ala na linu kwo kubha omwanya oguja bhanu bhafuye bhona bhalimo mufwa bhalyungwa lilaka lyaye.
29 babesebephuma, labo abenze okulungileyo, ekuvukeni kwempilo; lalabo abenze okubi, ekuvukeni kokulahlwa.
Nabho bhanu bhalisoka anja: kubhanu bhakolanga ebye kisi bhalisulukila ku bhuanga, na bhanu bhakolanga echibhibhi bhalisulukila mu ntambala
30 Mina ngingenze lutho ngokwami; njengokuzwa kwami, ngiyahlulela; njalo ukwahlulela kwami kulungile; ngoba kangidingi intando yami, kodwa intando kaBaba ongithumileyo.
Nitakutula kukila chinu chona chona okusoka kwanye omwene. Alabha enungwa, nikwo kutyo enilamula no kulamula kwani kwimiliko kwo kubha nitakuyenja bhinu enenda anye, nawe unu antumile.
31 Aluba ngizifakazela mina, ubufakazi bami abusiloqiniso.
Alabha nikebhambalila omwene, obhubhambasi bhani bhutabheye bha chimali.
32 Ukhona omunye ongifakazelayo mina, njalo ngiyazi ukuthi ubufakazi abufakaza ngami buliqiniso.
Ali oundi oyo kebhambalila ku mwene nenimenya obhubhambasi bhunu kambalila ni bwe chimali.
33 Lina lathumela kuJohane, walifakazela iqiniso.
Mwatumile ku Yohana omwene nambambalila echimali.
34 Kodwa mina kangibemukeli ubufakazi obuvela emuntwini, kodwa ngitsho lezizinto ukuze lina lisindiswe.
Nolwo kutyo, obhubhambasi obhoenilamila bhutakusoka kumwana munu. Enaika jinu koleleki mukisibwe.
35 Yena wayeyisibane esivuthayo lesikhanyayo, lani lavuma ukuthokoza okwesikhatshana ekukhanyeni kwakhe.
Yohana aliga ni itala eyo yaliga niyaka na kung'ala na mwaliga muli na likondelelwa kwo mwanya mutoto bwelu bwaye.
36 Kodwa mina ngilobufakazi obukhulu kulobukaJohane; ngoba imisebenzi uBaba anginike yona ukuze ngiyiqede, yonale imisebenzi mina engiyenzayo, iyangifakazela ukuthi uBaba ungithumile.
Obhubhambasi bhunu nilinabwo no bhukulu kukila bhuliya obwa Yohana, ku milimu jinu Lata anaye okukumalisha, emilimu jinu enikola ejinyimako ejo kubambalila kubha Lata antumile.
37 Laye uBaba ongithumileyo, yena ungifakazele. Kalikaze lilizwe ilizwi lakhe lanini, lesimo sakhe kalikaze lisibone,
Lata unu antumile omwene kanyimako anye. Mchalinga kungwa obhulaka bwae nolwo kulola olususo lwae kumwanya gwona gwona.
38 njalo kalilalizwi lakhe elihlala phakathi kwenu, ngoba amthumileyo yena, lowo lina kalimkholwa.
Mutana misango gwae gunu gwikaye kwimwe kwo kubha mutakwilisha unu antumile.
39 Hlolani imibhalo, ngoba lina licabanga ukuthi lilempilo elaphakade kiyo, njalo yiyo engifakazelayo; (aiōnios g166)
Omuyenja mu mandiko omwichula muda yeye muno bhuanga bwa kajanende, na ganu amandiko aganyimako emisango jani. (aiōnios g166)
40 kodwa kalivumi ukuza kimi, ukuze libe lempilo.
Mutakwenda kuja kwanye koleleki mubhone obhuanga bwa kajanende.
41 Angemukeli udumo ebantwini;
Nitakulamila jikuma okusoka ku bhanu,
42 kodwa ngiyalazi lina, ukuthi kalilalo uthando lukaNkulunkulu phakathi kwenu.
Nawe nimenyele kubha mutali lyenda na Nyamuanga munda yemwe emwe abhene
43 Mina ngizile ebizweni likaBaba, kodwa kalingemukeli; uba omunye esiza ngelakhe ibizo, lizamemukela yena.
Nijile kwa lisina lya Lata want, mutakutula kundamila. Alabha oundiakaja kwa lisina lyaye mukamulamiye.
44 Lingakholwa njani lina, nxa lisemukela udumo omunye komunye, kodwa lingaludingi udumo oluvela kuNkulunkulu oyedwa?
Mbe omutula kutiki okwikilisha emwe bhanu omuyabwa echibhalo okusoka ku bhuli umwi wemwe nawe mutakuyenja echibhalo chinu echisoka ku Nyamuanga oumwila?
45 Lingacabangi ukuthi mina ngizalimangalela kuBaba; ukhona olimangalelayo, uMozisi, elithemba kuye lina.
Muteganilisha ati anye enibhabhula imbele ya Lata. Unu kabhabhula emwe no Musa unu emwe muteyeo ameikanyo gemwe kumwene.
46 Ngoba uba belikholwa uMozisi, belizakholwa mina; ngoba yena wabhala ngami.
Alabha nimwikilisha Musa mwakanyikilisishe any kwo kubha anyandikiye emisango jani.
47 Kodwa uba lingakholwa imibhalo yakhe, lizakholwa njani amazwi ami?
Alabha mutakwikilisha olwandiko lwaye omutula kutiki okwikilisha emisango Jani?
