< UJohane 7 >
1 Njalo emva kwalezizinto uJesu wayehamba eGalili; ngoba wayengathandi ukuhamba eJudiya, ngenxa yokuthi amaJuda ayedinga ukumbulala.
So kochingbv, Jisu Galili bv vngkarto; hv Judia lo vngkar nwngma toku, ogulvgavbolo Jius nyi kainv vdwv hoka ninyia mvki dubv mvngnyato.
2 Wawusondele umkhosi wamaJuda wokwakha amadumba.
Rongonampo pumja ridwv nvchi toku,
3 Ngakho abafowabo bathi kuye: Suka lapha, uye eJudiya, ukuze labafundi bakho babone imisebenzi yakho oyenzayo.
vkvlvgabv Jisu gv boru vdwv ninyia minto, “So mooku sam kayupila okv Judia bv vngtoka, ogulvgavbolo nam reming gvnv nyi vdwv no ogugo ridudw kaamu dubv.
4 Ngoba kakho owenza ulutho ensitha, kodwa yena ngokwakhe edinga ukuba sobala. Uba uzenza lezizinto, ziveze wena emhlabeni.
Hv ogugo ridudw alvrungbv chimu nvpv mvngbolo yvvka vvsi mare. No sung ridung roku, nyiamooku gv nyi mvnwngnga nam chimu toka!”
5 Ngoba labafowabo babengakholwa kuye.
Ninyigv boru vdwvka ninyia mvngjwng mato.
6 Ngakho uJesu wathi kubo: Isikhathi sami kasikafiki, kodwa esenu isikhathi sihlala silungile.
Jisu bunua minto, “Ngoogv lvgabv alvnv dw hv aatv madv. Nonugv lvgabv ogu dw jvka alvnv.
7 Ungelizonde umhlaba lina; kodwa uyangizonda, ngoba mina ngifakaza ngawo, ukuthi imisebenzi yawo mibi.
Nyiamooku gv nyi vdwv nonua kaanwng mabv rinyu mare, vbvritola bunu nga kaanwng mado, ogulvgavbolo bunugv lamtv ngv alvma vla ngo bunua minbwng jido.
8 Yenyukelani lina emkhosini lo; mina angikenyukeli kulumkhosi, ngoba isikhathi sami kasikagcwaliseki.
Nonu pumja lo vngsu laka, ngo so gv pumja so vngmare, ogulvgavbolo ngoogv lvgabv alvnv dw v aatv madv.”
9 Esetshilo lezizinto kubo, wahlala eGalili.
Hv sum mintoku, okv vbvrikunamv Galili lo doobwngla doolwk toku.
10 Kodwa sebenyukile abafowabo, laye wasesenyukela emkhosini, kungeyisikho obala, kodwa kungathi kusensitha.
Ninyigv boru vdwgv pumja lo vngro kochingbv, Jisu ka vngtoku; vbvrijvka hv nyi mvnwngnga kaapatapa dubv vngmato, vbvritola choibv vngtoku.
11 AmaJuda asemdinga emkhosini, athi: Ungaphi yena?
Jius nyi kainv vdwv ninyia pumja lo kaakarnyato. “Hv ogolobvri?” bunu tvvka toku.
12 Kwakukhona ukukhonona okukhulu ngaye phakathi kwamaxuku; abanye bathi: Ulungile. Kodwa abanye bathi: Hatshi, kodwa uyaliduhisa ixuku.
Hoka ninyigv lvkwng nga nyipamlo achialvbv japsijapit nyato. “Hv alvnv nyi go,” Nyi megonv minto. Kvvbi vdwv minto “Ma, hv nyi vdwa rimur gvdu.”
13 Loba kunjalo kwakungekho muntu owakhuluma obala ngaye ngokwesaba amaJuda.
Vbvritola yvv akonvka ninyigv lvgabv japkok rikok mato, ogulvgavbolo bunu Jius nyi kainv vdwa busu nyato.
14 Kuthe sekuphakathi komkhosi, uJesu wenyukela ethempelini, wafundisa.
Pumja nga tunggo nvnga rinya toku vdwlo Jisu Pwknvyarnvnaam lo vngla hoka tamsar sarrap tokudw.
15 AmaJuda asemangala athi: Lo uyazi njani imibhalo, engafundanga?
Jius nyi kainv vdwv achialvbv lamrwpanya toku okv minto, “Hv ogu risarrima kolo vngkw rikw magvre, oguaingbv hv vkv nvgu achialvbv chimpv nvdw?”
16 UJesu wawaphendula wathi: Imfundiso yami kayisiyo eyami kodwa ngeyalowo ongithumileyo.
Jisu mirwksito, “Ngo ogugo tamsar dvdw hv ngo atubogv tamsar sarnamma, vbvritola hv nga vngmunv Pwknvyarnv lokv aadunv.
17 Uba umuntu ethanda ukwenza intando yakhe, uzakwazi ngemfundiso, ukuthi ivela kuNkulunkulu, kumbe ngizikhulumela mina ngokwami.
Yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv mvngnambv rinwng nvngv chinre ngo ogugo tamsar dvdw, Pwknvyarnv lokv aadu nvdw vmalo ngo atubogv chinampaanam lokv mindunvdw.
18 Ozikhulumela ngokwakhe, uzidingela udumo lwakhe; kodwa odinga udumo lwalowo omthumileyo, lowo uqinisile, njalo kakukho ukungalungi kuye.
Yvvdw atubogv chinampaanam lokv mindunv, hv atubonga kaibv yungku dubv mvsudunv. Vbvritola yvvdw ninyia vngmunv lvgabv kaibv yungnamma mvngdunv, hv alvnv, okv hoka ninyigv ogu mvvnamrunam kaama.
19 Kalinikanga yini uMozisi umlayo, kanti kakho kini ogcina umlayo? Lidingelani ukungibulala?
Moses nonua Pvbv nga jito, hv jima pvnvri? Vbvritola nonuno yvvka Pvbv nga tvnvrinv kaama. Ogulvgabv nonu nga mvki dubv rikw dunv?”
20 Ixuku laphendula lathi: Uledimoni; ngubani odinga ukukubulala?
Nyipam hv mirwkto, “No arwnglo uyuvram gvdu nvgo! Nam yvvla mvki dubv rikw nvngv?”
21 UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Ngenze umsebenzi owodwa, njalo lonke liyamangala.
Jisu mirwksito, “Ngo lamrwpanam go kaatamto okv nonu mvnwngngv lamnyato.
22 Ngakho uMozisi walinika ukusoka (kungeyisikho ukuthi kwavela kuMozisi, kodwa kubobaba), njalo liyamsoka umuntu langesabatha.
Moses nonua orto jito nonugv kuunyilo vdwa ayakmvu dubv (so si Moses ma vbvritola nonugv abuapa vdwv sum rirap gvtoku), okv vkvlvgabv nonuno kuunyilo nga Jius Doonualu lo ayakmvu dunv.
23 Uba ngesabatha umuntu esemukela ukusoka, ukuze kungephulwa umlayo kaMozisi, lingithukuthelela ngoba ngaphilisa umuntu ngokupheleleyo ngesabatha yini?
Vminyilo nga Jius Doonualu lo ayakmvu dunvlo vkvlvgabv Moses gv Pvbv ngv mvwk madubv, ogulvgavbolo ngoogv nyi nga Jius doonualu lo mvnwngnga alvdukubv mvnam a haachi dunv?
24 Lingahluleli ngokubona, kodwa yahlulelani ukwahlulela okuqondileyo.
Agum lokv kaala jwngnamdanam a kayu tokuka, okv jvjv lokv jwngkadaka laka.”
25 Abanye kwabeJerusalema basebesithi: Lo kayisuye yini abadinga ukumbulala?
Jerusalem gv nyi megonv minto, “So nyi si mare kainv vdwgv mvki nvpvkv vnam angv?
26 Kodwa khangela ukhuluma obala, kodwa kabatsho lutho kuye. Kungaba yikuthi ababusi sebesazi oqotho ukuthi lo unguKristu uqobo yini?
Kaatoka! Hv kvba vdwlo japdungdo, okv bunu ninyia oguka minyingminsu ma! hv bunugv si Kristo vla chimbwk kunam guma bri?
27 Kodwa lo siyazi lapho avela khona; kodwa uKristu nxa efika, kakho ozakwazi lapho avela khona.
Vbvritola vdwlo Kristo aarikudw, yvvka chimare hv ogo lokvdw: okv ngonu mvnwngngv chindu so nyi si ogo lokvdw.”
28 Ngakho uJesu efundisa ethempelini wamemeza wathi: Lami liyangazi, liyakwazi lalapho engivela khona; njalo kangizizelanga ngokwami, kodwa ongithumileyo uqinisile, elingamaziyo lina.
Jisu Pwknvyarnvnaam lo japtoku, hv gamtv rungbv minto, “Nonu ngam jvjvbv chimpvi okv ogolokvbvri vla chimpvi? Ngo atubongv aasuma, ngam vngmunv angv jvjv ngv. Nonu ninyia chima,
29 Kodwa ngiyamazi mina, ngoba ngivela kuye, njalo yena ungithumile.
vbvritola ngo ninyia chindu, ogulvgavbolo ngo ninyigv lokv aapvnv okv hv nga vngmupvnv.”
30 Ngakho badinga ukumbamba, kodwa kakubanga khona owabeka isandla phezu kwakhe, ngoba ihola lakhe lalingakafiki.
Vbvrikunamv bunu ninyia naatung tvvto, vbvritola yvvka ninyia laak laklin nvgoka kaamato, ogulvgavbolo ninyigv alvnv dw ngv aatvmadvto.
31 Kodwa abanengi bexuku bakholwa kuye, bathi: Nxa uKristu esefikile, uzakwenza yini izibonakaliso ezinengi kulalezi azenzileyo lo?
Vbvritola nyipamlo nyi achialvgo ninyia mvngjwng nyato okv minto, “Vdwlo Kristo aarikudw, hv so nyi sum kaiyabv lamrwpanam rila kaatam rekudw?”
32 AbaFarisi bezwa ixuku likhonona lezizinto ngaye; abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi basebethuma abancedisi ukuze bambambe.
Parisis vdwv nyipamlo Jisu gv lvgabv japsijapit dubv tvvpa toku, vkvlvgabv bunu okv nyibu butvnv vdwv sipai mego ninyia naatung dubv vngmutoku.
33 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngiselani okwesikhatshana, besengihamba ngiye kongithumileyo.
Jisu minto “Ngo achukgo asu dubv nonua lvkobv doore, okv vbvrikunamv ngo ngam vngmunv gvlo vngyu reku.
34 Lizangidinga, lingangitholi, lalapho mina engikhona, lina lingeze leza.
Nonu ngam kaakarre vbvritola nonu ngam kaapamare, ogulvgavbolo ngo ogolo dooridw nonu vngnyu mare.”
35 Ngakho amaJuda akhulumisana athi: Uzakuya ngaphi lo ukuthi thina singayikumthola? Kayikuya yini kwabahlakazekileyo bamaGriki, afundise amaGriki?
Jius nyi kainv vdwv bunu atubongv minsunyato, “Ngonu ninyia mapa madubv hv ogolobvri vngtv tvdunv? Hv Grik pamtv vdwlo ngonugv nyi rikulo vngla Grik vdwa tamsar tvdu nvbvri?
36 Yilizwi bani leli alitshoyo elokuthi: Lizangidinga, aliyikungithola; lelokuthi: Lapho engikhona mina, lina lingeze leza?
Hv mindu ngonu ninyia kaakarre vbvritola kaaapa mare vla, okv hv ogolo dooridw ngonu hoka vngnyu mare vla. Ninyigv minam si ogu gobvre?”
37 Kwathi ngosuku lokucina olukhulu lomkhosi uJesu wema wamemeza, esithi: Uba ekhona owomileyo, keze kimi anathe.
Pumja alu gv lootar loonya dinchi yachoknv alu lo Jisu dakrapto okv gamtv rungbv minto, “Yvvla tvngnwng dunv ngoogvlo aarung laka okv tvnglaka.
38 Okholwa kimi, njengokutsho kombhalo, kuzageleza kuphuma esiswini sakhe imifula yamanzi aphilayo.
Darwknv Kitaplo mindu, ‘Yvvdw nga mvngjwng dunv, singnamlo turnam jinv isi svdwng dvngdo ngv ninyigv haapok lokv pwlin jire.’”
39 Lalokhu wakutsho ngoMoya ababezamemukela abakholwa kuye; ngoba uMoya oNgcwele wayengakafiki, lokhu uJesu wayengakadunyiswa.
Jisu gv so minam si Dow gv lvgabv minto, yvvbunudw ninyia mvngjwng rinv hv bunu paatv rinv. Ho dw lo Dow a jitv madvto, ogulvgavbolo Jisu vjaklodvbv sila turkurla yunglitnam gubv ritv madvto.
40 Ngakho abanengi bexuku besizwa lelilizwi bathi: Oqotho lo ungulowomProfethi.
Nyipam lokv nyi megonv ninyia vbv mindubv tvgvrila minto, “So nyi si jvjvrungbv Nyijwk go!”
41 Abanye bathi: Lo unguKristu. Kodwa abanye bathi: Kambe uKristu uzavela eGalili?
Kvvbi vdwv minto, “Hv kunv Kristo!” Vbvritola kvvbi gunv kuring minto “Kristo Galili lokv linmare!
42 Kawutsho yini umbhalo ukuthi uKristu uzavela enzalweni kaDavida, leBhethelehema, emzaneni lapho uDavida ayekhona?
Darwknv Kitaplo mindu Kristo Dvbv Dabid gv husi lokv linre vla okv Betlehem lo bvnglinre, Dabid gv dooku banggu lo.”
43 Ngakho kwaba khona ukwehlukana ngaye phakathi kwexuku.
Vkvlvgabv hoka nyi vdwv asak-asak sutoku Jisu gv lvkwnglo.
44 Abanye babo bafuna ukumbamba, kodwa kakubanga khona owambeka izandla.
Megonv ninyia naatung dubv mvngtoku vbvritola yvvka ninyi laak laklin nvgoka kaama toku.
45 Khona abancedisi baya kubapristi abakhulu lakubaFarisi; bona basebesithi kubo: Kungani lingamlethanga?
Vdwlo sipai vdwv vngkur tokudw, nyibu butvnv vdwv okv parisis vdwv bunua tvvkato, “Nonu ogubv ninyia aagv mapvnv?”
46 Abancedisi baphendula bathi: Kakuzange kukhulume umuntu kanje, njengalumuntu.
Sipai vdwv mirwkto, “Yvvka alo nyi vbv minv kaama!”
47 AbaFarisi basebebaphendula bathi: Lani seliduhisiwe yini?
Parisis vdwv bunua tvvkato, “Hv nonua pvcha dubv mvta pvnvre?
48 Ukhona yini kubabusi kumbe kubaFarisi okholwe kuye?
Vdwloka no kainv nyi akoka okv Parisis goka ninyia mvngjwng dubv chimpvnvre?
49 Kodwa lelixuku elingawaziyo umlayo liqalekisiwe.
So nyipam si Moses gv Pvbv nga chima, vkvlvgabv bunu Pwknvyarnv gv beenam arwnglo doodunv!”
50 UNikodima, lowo oweza kuye ebusuku, owayengomunye wabo, wathi kubo:

“Ngonugv Pvbv gv milam lokv vngrinyi ngonu yvvnyika rimur vngmur ha gaklin madvbv mia jinyuma.”
52 Baphendula bathi kuye: Kanti lawe ungoweGalili? Hlolisisa ubone ukuthi kakuvukanga umprofethi eGalili.
Bunu mirwkto, “Alvpv,” “No ka Galili lokvre? Darwknv Kitap a puri kaateka okv Galili lokv nyijwk aanv kaama vla no chinre.”
53 Ngulowo lalowo wasesuka waya ekhaya.
