UJohane 8
1 Kodwa uJesu waya entabeni yeMihlwathi.
Yesu agendele muchima che mizaituni.
2 Kwathi ekuseni kakhulu wabuya weza ethempelini, isizwe sonke sasesisiza kuye; wasehlala phansi wabafundisa.
Namweja katondo naja Lindi muyekalu, na bhanu bhona nibhamulubha neyanja nabheigisha.
3 Ababhali labaFarisi basebeletha kuye owesifazana owayebanjwe efeba, bammisa phakathi,
Abhandiki na Bhafarisayo nibhaleta omugasi unu bhagwatile mu bhulomelwa. Nibhamutula agati.
4 bathi kuye: Mfundisi, lo owesifazana ubanjwe eseqotsheni lokuphinga;
Niwo nibhamubwila Yesu ati, “Omwiigisha, omugasi unu bhamugwata mubhulomelwa,
5 lemlayweni uMozisi wasilaya ukuthi abanje bakhandwe ngamatshe; ngakho wena uthini?
Woli, echilagilo cha Musa achilagiliye okubhalasa amabhui abhanu lwa bhanu, owaika kutiki ingulu yaye?
6 Kodwa batsho lokhu bemlinga, ukuze bazuze okokummangalela ngakho. Kodwa uJesu ekhothamela phansi, wabhala emhlabathini ngomunwe, wenza angathi kabezwa.
Bhaikile ago okumusaka koleleki bhabhone omusango gwo kumubhula, nawe Yesu nenama asi nandika kwe Chala chaye.
7 Kwathi bephikelela ukumbuza, walulama wathi kubo: Ongelasono phakathi kwenu, kaqale ukumjikijela ngelitshe.
Bhejile bhagendelela nibhamubhusha, nemelegulu nabhabwila ati, “Oyo atali na chibhibhi kwimwe, abhe wa kwamba okumulasa amabhui.”
8 Wasebuya ekhothamela phansi wabhala emhlabathini.
Nenama lindi asi, nandika kwe Chala chae.
9 Kodwa bona, bekuzwa, balahlwa yisazela sabo, baphuma ngamunye ngamunye kuqala komdala kwaze kwaba kowokucina; uJesu wasesala yedwa, lowesifazana emi phakathi.
Bhejile bhongwa ago bhagendele oumwi no undi okwambila kumukaluka. kubhutelo Yesu nasigalao enyele ela, amwi no mugasi aliga agati yebwe.
10 UJesu waseselulama, engaboni muntu ngaphandle kowesifazana, wathi kuye: Mama, bangaphi labo abakumangalelayo? Kakho okulahlayo yini?
Yesu nemelegulu nabhabwila ati, “Omugasi, abho abhakusitaka bhalyaki? Atalio nolwo umwi oyo kamulamula?”
11 Wasesithi: Kakho, Nkosi. UJesu wasesithi kuye: Lami kangikulahli; hamba ungabe usona futhi.
Naika ati,” Atalio nolwo umwi Lata bhugenyi.” Yesu naika ati, “nolwo anye nitakulamula. Genda njila yao okwambila oli no kugendelela utakola chibhibhi lindi.”
12 Ngakho uJesu wakhuluma labo futhi wathi: Mina ngiyikukhanya komhlaba; ongilandelayo, kasoze ahambe emnyameni, kodwa uzakuba lokukhanya kwempilo.
Lindi Yesu naloma na bhanu naika ati, “Anye ni bwelu bwa isi; oyo kandubha atakulibhata muchisute kabha no bwelu bwo bhuanga.”
13 Ngakho abaFarisi bathi kuye: Wena uyazifakazela; ubufakazi bakho kabulaqiniso.
Abhafalisayo nibhamubwila ati, Owibhambalila omwene; obhubhambasi bwao bhutali bwe chimali.”
14 UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Lanxa ngizifakazela mina, buqinisile ubufakazi bami; ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi ngivela ngaphi, lokuthi ngiya ngaphi; kodwa lina kalazi ukuthi ngivela ngaphi, lokuthi ngiya ngaphi.
Yesu nasubya nabhabwila ati, “Nolwo nikebhambalila omwene, obhubhambasi bhana ni bwe chimali. Enimenya eyo enisoka niyo enigenda, nawe emwe mutakumenya eyo enisoka neyo enigenda.
15 Lina lahlulela ngokwenyama; mina kangahluleli muntu.
Emwe omulamula chinyamubwili; Anye nitakulamula ona ona.
16 Kodwa uba lami ngisahlulela, ukwahlulela kwami kuqinisile; ngoba kangingedwa, kodwa yimi loBaba ongithumileyo.
Anye nolwo nikalamula, obhulamusi bwani ni bwe chimali okubha nitali wenyele, nawe nili na Lata oyo antumile.
17 Njalo emlayweni wenu kulotshiwe ukuthi ubufakazi babantu ababili bungobuqinisileyo.
Nikwo nebhilagilo byemwe byandikilwe ati obhubhambasi bwa bhanu bhabhili no bwe chimali.
18 Mina ngingozifakazelayo, loBaba ongithumileyo ufakaza ngami.
Anye enibhambalila, na Lata oyo antumile kambambalila.”
19 Ngakho bathi kuye: Ungaphi uYihlo? UJesu waphendula wathi: Kalingazi mina, loba uBaba. Uba belingazi mina, laye uBaba belizamazi.
Nibhamubwila ati, Lata wao alyaki?” Yesu nasubya ati, “Anye mutakumenya nolwo Lata wani mutakumunyenya mwakasangile nimumenya anye mwakamumenyele na Lata wani.
20 UJesu wakhuluma la amazwi ngasesitsheni somnikelo, efundisa ethempelini; futhi kakho owambambayo, ngoba ihola lakhe lalingakafiki.
Aikile emisango ejo Ali ayei need chibhikilo awo aliga neigisha mu yekalu, na Atalio nolwo umwi oyo amugwatile ku kubha omwanya gwae gwaliga guchali kukinga.
21 Ngakho uJesu wathi kubo futhi: Ngiyahamba mina, njalo lizangidinga, njalo lizafela esonweni senu; lapho engiya khona mina, lingeze leza lina.
Mbe nabhabwila lindi ati, “Nagenda jani; nawe mulinyenja na mulifwila mu bhibhibhi byemwe. eyo enigenda, mutakutula kujayo.”
22 Ngakho amaJuda athi: Uzazibulala yini? Ngoba uthi: Lapho engiya khona mina, lingeze leza khona lina.
Abhayaudi nibhzika ati, “Kajaokwiita omwene, okubha aikile ati, 'eyo enigenda mutakula kujayo'?”
23 Wasesithi kuwo: Lina livela phansi, mina ngivela phezulu; lina lingabomhlaba lo, mina kangisuye owalumhlaba.
Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Omusoka emwalo; anye enisoka injulu. Emwe ni bha isi inu; anye ntali wa isi inu.
24 Ngakho ngithe kini, lizafela ezonweni zenu; ngoba uba lingakholwa ukuthi nginguye, lizafela ezonweni zenu.
Kulwejo, nabhabwila ati mulifwila mubhibhibhi byemwe. mwikilishe okubha ANYE NIWE, omufwa mu bhibhibhi byemwe”.
25 Ngakho athi kuye: Wena ungubani? UJesu wasesithi kuwo: Lokho engalitshela khona futhi ekuqaleni.
Kulwejo nibhamubwila ati, “Awe niga?” Yesu nabhabwila ati, galiya nabhabwiliye ku bwambilo.
26 Ngilezinto ezinengi engilokuzikhuluma ngani lokwahlulela ngazo; kodwa ongithumileyo uqinisile, lezinto engizizwe kuye lezi ngizikhuluma emhlabeni.
ninajo emisango mwafu ejokuloma no kulamula ingulu yemwe. Nolwo kutyo, unu antumile ni we chimali; ne misango ejo nonguwe okusoka kwemwe, ne misango ejo enijaika mu si;
27 Kawaqedisisanga ukuthi ukhuluma lawo ngoYise.
Bhatamwelewe ati aliga naika nabho eja Lata.
28 Ngakho uJesu wathi kuwo: Nxa seliyiphakamisile iNdodana yomuntu, khona lizakwazi ukuthi nginguye, njalo kangizenzeli lutho ngokwami, kodwa ngikhuluma lezizinto njengalokhu uBaba engifundisile;
Yesu anaika ati, “mukamuyanika ingulu Omwana wo munu, awo mulimenya okubha ANYE NIWE, na ati nitakukola lyonalyona kubwani any akabha Lata anyiigisishe, enaika emisango jinu.
29 njalo yena ongithumileyo ulami; uBaba kangitshiyanga ngedwa, ngoba mina ngihlala ngisenza lezizinto ezimthokozisayo yena.
Unu antumile ali amwi nanye, nomwene atakusiga wenyele, bhuli katungu enikola agoagamukondela.”
30 Esakhuluma lezizinto abanengi bakholwa kuye.
Omwanya Yesu naika emisango ejo abhafu nibhamwikilisha.
31 Ngakho uJesu wathi kumaJuda akholwe kuye: Uba lina lihlala elizwini lami, lingabafundi bami oqotho;
Yesu naika ati kubhaliya Abhayaudi abho bhamwikilisishe, “Akabha mukeyanja misango jani, ndiwo omubha bheigisibwa bhani bhechimali,
32 lizalazi iqiniso, leqiniso lizalikhulula.
Emwe mulimenya echimali, ne chimali chilibhatula mumulabho.”
33 Amphendula athi: Siyinzalo kaAbrahama, kasizanga sibe yizigqili zamuntu; wena utsho njani ukuthi: Lizakuba ngabakhululekileyo?
Nibhamubya ati, “Eswe ni lwibholo lwa Ibrahimu na kata chichaliga kubha asi yobhugaya bhonabhona owaikaki, “Echitulwa muchilabho?”
34 UJesu wawaphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Wonke owenza isono uyisigqili sesono.
Yesu nabhasubya ati, “Nichimali, nichimali enibhabwila ati, oyokakola echibhibhi ni mugaya we chibhibhi.
Omugaya atakwiyanja munyumba mwanya gwona; Omwana kekala siku jona. (aiōn g165)
36 Ngakho uba iNdodana ilikhulula, lizakuba ngabakhululekileyo oqotho.
Kulwejo, akabha Omwana akabhatula muchilabho, omubha muchilabho chimali kata.”
37 Ngiyazi ukuthi liyinzalo kaAbrahama; kodwa lidinga ukungibulala, ngoba ilizwi lami kalilandawo kini.
Enimenya ati emwe ni lwibholo lwa Ibrahimu; omundonda okunyita kulwa injuno yo musango gwani gutana mwanya agati yemwe.
38 Mina ngikhuluma lokho engikubonileyo kuBaba; lani-ke lenza lokho elikubonileyo kuyihlo.
Enaika amagambo ganu nalolele amwi na Lata want, emwona abhene omukola amagambo ganu mwonguwe okusoka kwi esomwana wemwe.”
39 Aphendula athi kuye: Ubaba wethu nguAbrahama. UJesu wathi kuwo: Uba belingabantwana bakaAbrahama, belizakwenza imisebenzi kaAbrahama.
Mbe nibhamubya no kumubhwila ati, “Lata weswe ni Aburamu.” Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Chisanga muli bhana bha Aburamu, mwakakolele emilimu ja Aburamu.
40 Kodwa khathesi lidinga ukungibulala, umuntu olitshele iqiniso, engilizwe kuNkulunkulu; lokho uAbrahama kakwenzanga.
Nolwo olyanu omuiga okunyita, omunu unu abhabhwiliye echimali ati nonguwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Aburamu atakolele kutyo.
41 Lina lenza imisebenzi kayihlo. Ngakho athi kuye: Kasizalwanga ngobufebe thina; siloBaba munye, uNkulunkulu.
Omukola emilimu je somwana.” Ni bhamubhwila ati, “Chitebhuwe mubhulomesi, China Lata umwi, unu ali Nyamuanga.
42 UJesu wathi kuwo: Uba uNkulunkulu ubenguYihlo, belizangithanda; ngoba mina ngiphume ngivela kuNkulunkulu; ngoba kangizizelanga ngokwami, kodwa yena ungithumile.
Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Akabha Nyamuanga ni Lata wemwe, mwakanyendele anye, okubha nisokele ku Nyamuanga; okubha nitejile kubwani, nawe unu antumile.
43 Kungani lingaqedisisi inkulumo yami? Ngoba lingeke lilizwe ilizwi lami.
Kulwaki mutakungwila emisango jani? kwokubha mutakutula kwikomesha okungwa emisango jani
44 Lina lingabakayihlo udiyabhola, lithanda ukwenza inkanuko zikayihlo. Yena wayengumbulali kusukela ekuqaleni, njalo kemi eqinisweni, ngoba iqiniso kalikho kuye. Nxa eqamba amanga, ukhuluma ngokwakhe; ngoba engumqambimanga loyise wawo.
Amwe ni bha esomwana wemwe, shetani, no mwenda okujikola okuligila eje somwana wemwe. okwimilegulu muchimali kwo kubha echimali chitalimo kwimwe. Akaloma olubhei, kaloma okusoka mukatungilwe kaye okubha ni mubhei ne semwene nimubhei.
45 Mina-ke ngoba ngikhuluma iqiniso, kalingikholwa.
Nolwo woli, kwo kubha enaika ebye chimali, mutakunyikilisha.
46 Nguwuphi kini ongilahla ngesono? Njalo uba ngilitshela iqiniso, lina kalingikholwa ngani?
Niga kwimwe unu katula okumbambalila ati ndine chibhibhi? akabha ninaika ebye chimali, kubhaki mutakunyikilisha?
47 Yena ongokaNkulunkulu uyawezwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu; kungakho lina lingezwa, ngoba kalisibo abakaNkulunkulu.
Unu ali Wanyamuanga kongwa emisango ja Nyamuanga; emwe mutakungwila kwo kubha emwe mutali bha Nyamuanga.”
48 Ngakho amaJuda aphendula athi kuye: Kasitsho kuhle yini thina ukuthi wena ungumSamariya, lokuthi uledimoni?
Abhayaudi nibhamubya nibhamubwila ati, chitaikile echimali kubha awe ni Musamalia na una lisambwa?”
49 UJesu waphendula wathi: Mina kangiladimoni, kodwa ngiyadumisa uBaba; kodwa lina liyangigcona.
Yesu nasubya ati, tali nesambwa; nawe enibhala Lata wani, nemwe mutakumubhala.
50 Mina-ke kangizidingeli udumo lwami; ukhona odingayo lowahlulelayo.
Nitakuyenja likusho lyani; alio umwi unu kayenja no kulamula.
51 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Uba umuntu elondoloza ilizwi lami, kasoze abone ukufa laphakade. (aiōn g165)
Nichimali, chimali, enibhabwila ati, unu kagwata omusango gwani, atalibhona lufu kajanende.” (aiōn g165)
52 Ngakho amaJuda athi kuye: Khathesi sesisazi ukuthi uledimoni; uAbrahama wafa, labaprofethi, kodwa wena uthi: Uba umuntu elondoloza ilizwi lami, kasoze ezwe ukufa laphakade. (aiōn g165)
Abhayaudi nibhamubya ati, “Oli chamenya ati uli no musambwa. Abrahamu na bhaligi bhafue; nawe owaika ati, 'Akabha omunu atakugwata omusango gwani, akulabha lufu.' (aiōn g165)
53 Wena umkhulu yini kulobaba wethu uAbrahama, owafayo? Labaprofethi bafa; uzenza bani wena?
Awe utali mukulu kukila Lata weswe Abrahamu unu afuye, na bhalagi ona bhafuye. Awe owikola kubha niga?”
54 UJesu waphendula wathi: Uba ngizidumisa mina, udumo lwami luyize; nguBaba ongidumisayo, elitsho ngaye lina ukuthi unguNkulunkulu wenu,
Yesu nasubya ati, “Akabha nikekusha nenyele, okwikusha kwani ni kwa kutyo ela; ni Lata wani niwekankusha - onu omwaika kubha Nyamuanga wemwe.
55 njalo kalimazanga; kodwa mina ngiyamazi, njalo uba ngisithi kangimazi, ngizakuba ngumqambi wamanga njengani; kodwa ngiyamazi, ngiyalilondoloza ilizwi lakhe.
Emwe mutamumenyaga omwene, nawe anye nimumenyele omwene. Akabha nikaika ati,'nitakumumenya,' enijosusana nemwe, bhanu omubheya. Nolwo kutyo, nimumenyele nemisango jaye nijigwatile.
56 Uyihlo uAbrahama wajabula kakhulu ukubona usuku lwami, njalo walubona wathokoza.
Lata weswe Abrahamu akondewe okulola olusiku lwani; nalulola nakondelelwa.”
57 Ngakho amaJuda athi kuye: Kawukabi leminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu, njalo wena wambona uAbrahama yini?
Abhayaudi nibhamubwila ati, “uchali kumala mwaka makumi gatanu awe umulolele Ibrahimu?”
58 UJesu wathi kuwo: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: UAbrahama engakabi khona, mina ngikhona.
Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Nichimali, chimali, nabhabwila ati, Abrahimu achali kwibhulwa, ANYE NDIO.”
59 Asedobha amatshe ukuze amjikijele; kodwa uJesu wacatsha, waphuma ethempelini, edabula phakathi kwawo; wadlula ngokunjalo.
Mbe nibhagenda amabhui bhabhone okumubhuma, nawe Yesu neibhisa nauluka mu yekalu.
