UJohane 1
1 Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, njalo uLizwi wayeloNkulunkulu, njalo uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu.
Ahoubada Wahei adu leirammi; Wahei adu Tengban Mapuga leiminnarammi amasung Wahei adu Tengban Mapu oirammi.
2 Yena lo wayeloNkulunkulu ekuqaleni.
Hek houba adudagi houna Wahei adu Tengban Mapuga leiminnarammi.
3 Zonke izinto zenziwa ngaye, njalo ngaphandle kwakhe kakulalutho lolulodwa olwenziwayo lolo olwenziweyo.
Ibungo mahakki mapanna Tengban Mapuna pot pumnamak sembikhi; Ibungo mahak yaodana semkhiba khutsem amata leite.
4 Impilo yayikuye, njalo impilo yayiyikukhanya kwabantu,
Ibungoda hingba leirammi aduga hingba aduna misinggi mangal oirammi.
5 lokukhanya kukhanya emnyameni, kodwa ubumnyama kabukwemukelanga.
Mangal aduna amambada ngalle aduga amamba aduna mangal adubu ngamde.
6 Kwavela umuntu ethunywe nguNkulunkulu, obizo lakhe linguJohane;
Tengban Mapuna thabirakpa John kouba mi ama leirammi.
7 yena lo wezela ubufakazi, ukuze afakaze ngokukhanya, ukuze bonke bakholwe ngaye.
Mi khudingmak mahakki mapanna thajaraknaba, mahakna misingda mangal adugi maramda hainaba lakpani.
8 Yena wayengayisikho ukukhanya, kodwa ukuze afakaze ngokukhanya.
Mahak masamakti mangal adu natte adubu mahakti mangal adugi maramda hainanaba lakpani.
9 Kwakuyikukhanya okuqotho, okukhanyisa wonke umuntu oza emhlabeni.
Mi khudingmakta mangal pibiba achumba mangal adu taibangpanda laklammi.
10 Wayekhona emhlabeni, njalo umhlaba wenziwa ngaye, kodwa umhlaba kawumazanga.
Wahei adu taibangpanda leirammi, aduga Mapu Ibungona taibangpan asi Ibungo mahakki mapanna sembikhiba oirabasu, taibangpannadi Ibungo mahakpu khanglamde.
11 Weza kokwakhe, kodwa abakhe kabamemukelanga.
Ibungo mahakna masagi oiba maphamda laklammi adubu mahakmakki misingna Ibungobu lousillamde.
12 Kodwa bonke abamemukelayo, wabapha amandla okuthi babe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, labo abakholwa ebizweni lakhe;
Adubu mi kharanadi Ibungobu lousinjarammi amadi Ibungobu thajarammi; maram aduna Ibungona makhoida Tengban Mapugi machasing oinaba matik pibire.
13 abazalwa kungeyisikho ngegazi, langentando yenyama, langentando yendoda, kodwa nguNkulunkulu.
Makhoina Tengban Mapugi machasing oirakpa asi mama mapana nattraga mioibagi apambana nattraga mapuroibagi warepna pokpiba adugumba natte adubu Mapu Ibungona pokpibani.
14 ULizwi wasesiba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu, njalo sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo injengeyozelwe yedwa kaYise, egcwele umusa leqiniso.
Wahei aduna sayollaktuna thoujal amadi achumbana pik thanduna eikhoigi irakta leibirare. Aduga eikhoina Ibungo mahakki matik mangal haibadi Mapagi amatta ngairaba Macha oibagi matik mangal adu ujare.
15 UJohane wafakaza ngaye, wamemeza wathi: Nguye lo ebengisitsho ngaye ukuthi: Lowo ozayo emva kwami uphambi kwami; ngoba wayekhona kuqala kulami.
John-na Ibungo mahakki maramda hairammi. Mahakna houna hairak-i, “‘Ibungona eigi tungda lengbirakli adubu Ibungo mahakti eina poktringeida hannana leirabani maram asina Ibungona eingondagi henna chao-i,’ haina eina nakhoida haikhiba Ibungo mahak adu asini.”
16 Lekugcwaleni kwakhe thina semukele sonke, futhi umusa ngomusa;
Athanba thoujalgi pukkei oiriba Ibungo mangondagi yaipha thoujal amagi mathakta yaipha thoujal ama eikhoi pumnamakna phangjare.
17 ngoba umlayo wanikwa ngoMozisi, umusa leqiniso kweza ngoJesu Kristu.
Wayel Yathangdi Moses-ki mapanna pibibani adubu thoujal amasung achumbadi Jisu Christtagi mapanna lakpani.
18 Kakho owake wabona uNkulunkulu; iNdodana ezelwe yodwa, esesifubeni sikaYise, yiyo emvezileyo.
Mi kana amatana Tengban Mapubu kheidounungdasu ukhidri. Adubu Mapaga yamna naknana leiriba amatta ngairaba Machanupa Mapu Ibungona Ibungo mahakpu phongdokle.
19 Njalo lobu yibufakazi bukaJohane, mhla amaJuda ethuma abapristi lamaLevi bevela eJerusalema ukuze bambuze ukuthi: Wena ungubani?
Jerusalem-da leiba Jihudisingna, John-bu kanano haina hangnaba purohitsing amasung Levi-singbu John-gi manakta tharaklammi.
20 Wasevuma, kaphikanga; futhi wavuma wathi: Kangisuye uKristu mina.
Mahakna paokhum piningdaba touramde aduga i-phong phongna sengna hairak-i, “Eidi Christta adu natte.”
21 Bambuza futhi bathi: Kuyini pho? Wena unguElija yini? Wasesithi: Kangisuye. Wena ungulowomProfethi yini? Wasephendula wathi: Hatshi.
Maduda makhoina hanglak-i, “Adu oirabadi nahak kanano? Nahak Elijah-ra?” John-na khumlak-i, “Ei natte.” Adudagi makhoina hanglak-i, “Adudi Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichou ama lakkani haibadu nahakla?” Mahakna khumlak-i, “Natte”
22 Basebesithi kuye: Ungubani? Ukuze sibaphe impendulo abasithumileyo; uthini ngawe?
Aroibada makhoina hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi nahak kanano haibasi eikhoida haibirak-u. Eikhoibu tharakpa makhoising aduda tamlunaba nahakna paokhum amadi pibiyu. Nahakna nasagi maramda kari haijabage?”
23 Wathi: Mina ngiyilizwi lomemezayo enkangala: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, njengoba uIsaya umprofethi watsho.
Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichou Isaiah-gi waheising sijinnaduna John-na paokhum pirak-i: “Lamjao lamhangda laoriba kanagumba amagi khonjel adu eini: ‘MAPU IBUNGO mahakna chatnanaba lambi adu chumhallu!’”
24 Lalabo ababethunyiwe babevela kubaFarisi.
Pharisee kharasu John-gi maphamda tharak-i,
25 Basebembuza, bathi kuye: Ubhabhathizelani pho, uba wena ungeyisuye uKristu, loElija, lalowomProfethi?
makhoina John-da hanglak-i, “Nahak Christta adusu Elijah adusu Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichou adusu nattrabadi karigi nahakna baptize touribano?”
26 UJohane wabaphendula, wathi: Mina ngibhabhathiza ngamanzi; kodwa phakathi kwenu kumi, lina elingamaziyo;
Maduda John-na khumlak-i, “Einadi isingda baptize tou-i adubu nakhoina khangdaba kanagumba ama nakhoigi narakta lepli.
27 nguye ozayo emva kwami, ophambi kwami, engingafanele mina ukuthukulula umchilo wenyathela lakhe.
Ibungo mahakna eigi tungda lakli aduga eidi Ibungo mahakki sandal mari louthokpa phaoba matik chade.”
28 Lezizinto zenzeka eBethabara ngaphetsheya kweJordani, lapho uJohane ayebhabhathiza khona.
John-na baptize toubiba mapham Jordan turen-gi nongpok thangba wangmada leiba Bethany-da masigi thoudok asi thokkhibani.
29 Kusisa uJohane wabona uJesu esiza kuye, wathi: Khangelani iWundlu likaNkulunkulu, elisusa isono somhlaba.
Mathanggi numitta Jisuna John-gi manakta lakpadu ure maduda John-na hairak-i, “Yeng-u, taibangpanbagi pappu pubiduna louthokpiba Tengban Mapugi Yaomacha adu!
30 Nguye lo mina ebengilitshela ngaye ukuthi: Emva kwami kuza indoda, eyayikhona phambi kwami, ngoba yayikhona kuqala kulami.
Ibungo asigi maramdani eina haikhibadu, ‘Kanagumba ama eigi tungda lengbirakli, Ibungo mahakti eina poktringeidagi hannana leirabani maramsina Ibungona eingondagi henna chao-i.’
31 Lami bengingamazi; kodwa ukuze abonakaliswe kuIsrayeli, ngalokho mina ngizile ngibhabhathiza ngamanzi.
Einadi Ibungobu kanano haiba khanglamde adubu eina isingda baptize toubasi Ibungo mahakpu Israel-da phongdoknabani.”
32 UJohane wasefakaza, esithi: Ngibonile uMoya esehla ezulwini njengejuba, wahlala phezu kwakhe.
Adudagi John-na sakhi asi pirammi: “Thawai aduna swargadagi khunugumna lengtharaktuna Ibungoda leiba adu eina ure.
33 Lami bengingamazi; kodwa owangithumayo ukubhabhathiza ngamanzi, yena wathi kimi: Lowo ozabona uMoya esehlela phezu kwakhe ahlale kuye, nguye obhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Eibu isingda baptize tounaba thabiba Ibungo mahakna eingonda, ‘Thawai aduna kanagumba amagi mathakta lengtharaktuna leiba nahakna ugani; mahak aduna Thawai Asengbada baptize toubigani,’ haina haibiramdrabadi eina Ibungo mahakpu khanglamloidabani.
34 Mina ngibonile, ngafakaza ukuthi lo uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Eina madumak ujare aduga Ibungo mahak asi Tengban Mapugi Machanupani haina eina nakhoida hairi.”
35 Kusisa futhi uJohane wayemi, lababili kubafundi bakhe;
Mathanggi numitta John-na mahakki tung-inba aniga loinana leptuna leirammi.
36 wasekhangela uJesu ehambahamba, wathi: Khangelani iWundlu likaNkulunkulu.
Jisuna mapham aduda chatpadu ubada mahakna hairak-i, “Yeng-u, Tengban Mapugi Yaomacha adu.”
37 Abafundi ababili bamuzwa ekhuluma, basebemlandela uJesu.
John-na haiba adu mahakki tung-inba aniduna tarabada makhoina Jisugi matung induna chatkhirammi.
38 Kwathi uJesu enyemukula ebabona belandela, wathi kubo: Lidingani? Basebesithi kuye: Rabi, (okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, Mfundisi) uhlala ngaphi?
Jisuna leithorakpada makhoina mahakki tung illakliba adu ure maduda Ibungona hanglak-i, “Nakhoi kari pambage?” Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Rabbi” (Masigi wahanthokti “Oja Ibungo” haibani), “Ibungo nahak kadaida leibibage?”
39 Wathi kubo: Wozani libone. Beza babona lapho ayehlala khona; bahlala laye ngalolosuku; kwakungaba lihola letshumi.
Ibungona khumlak-i, “Lak-u aduga nakhoina u-gani.” (Matam adu numit yungba matung pung marimuk tabada oirammi.) Maram aduna makhoina Ibungoga loinana chattuna Ibungona leiba mapham adu ujare aduga numit aduma makhoina Ibungoga loinana leiminnarammi.
40 UAndreya umfowabo kaSimoni Petro wayengomunye wababili ababekuzwe ngoJohane bamlandela.
John-na haiba adu taduna Jisugi tung inkhiba makhoi anigi marakta amadi Simon Peter-gi manao Andrew-ni.
41 Yena wathola kuqala umfowabo uqobo uSimoni, wathi kuye: Simtholile uMesiya, okuphendulelwa ngokuthi, uKristu.
Andrew-na ihan hanna mahakki mayamba Simon-bu thiraga mangonda hairammi, “Eikhoina Messiah adu phangjare.” (Madudi “Christta” haibani)
42 Wasemletha kuJesu. UJesu esemkhangele wathi: Wena unguSimoni indodana kaJona; uzathiwa nguKefasi, okuphendulelwa ngokuthi uPetro.
Adudagi mahakna Simon-bu Jisugi manakta purakle. Jisuna Simon-da yenglaga hairak-i, “Nahakti John-gi machanupa Simon-ni, adubu nahakki naming Cephas kougani.” (Masigi wahanthokti “Peter” haibani.)
43 Kusisa uJesu wayefuna ukusuka aye eGalili, wathola uFiliphu, wathi kuye: Ngilandela.
Mathanggi numitta Galilee-da Jisuna chatke leple. Ibungona Philip-pu thengnarabada mangonda hairak-i, “Eigi itung illak-u!”
44 UFiliphu-ke wayengoweBhethisayida, emzini wakibo kaAndreya loPetro.
(Andrew amadi Peter-gumna Philip-su Bethsaida sahardagini.)
45 UFiliphu wathola uNathaniyeli, wathi kuye: Simtholile lowo abhala ngaye uMozisi emlayweni labaprofethi, uJesu weNazaretha, indodana kaJosefa.
Philip-na Nathanael-bu phanglabada mangonda hairammi, “Moses-na Wayel Yathangda amasung Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichousingnasu ibiramba mahak adu eikhoina phangle. Mahak adudi Joseph-ki machanupa, Nazareth-ki Jisuni.”
46 UNathaniyeli wasesithi kuye: Kambe kungavela okuhle eNazaretha? UFiliphu wathi kuye: Woza ubone.
Nathanael-na hanglak-i, “Nazareth-tagibu karigumba aphaba thorakpa ngambra?” Maduda Philip-na khumlak-i, “Laktuna yeng-u.”
47 UJesu wabona uNathaniyeli esiza kuye, wathi ngaye: Khangelani umIsrayeli uqobo, okungekho nkohliso kuye.
Mahakki manakta Nathanael-na lakpadu urabada Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Mapham asida tasengba Israel-gi mi ama leire; mangonda lounamba leite.”
48 UNathaniyeli wathi kuye: Ungazela ngaphi? UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: UFiliphu engakakubizi, ungaphansi komkhiwa, ngakubona.
Nathanael-na Ibungoda hanglak-i, “Ibungona eibu karamna khangbibage?” Maduda Jisuna paokhum pirak-i, “Philip-na nahakpu koudringeida, nahakna heiyit pambi makhada leiba matam aduda eina nangbu ure.”
49 UNathaniyeli waphendula wathi kuye: Rabi, wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wena uyiNkosi kaIsrayeli.
Nathanael-na khumlak-i, “Oja Ibungo, nahak Tengban Mapugi Machanupa aduni! Nahak Israel-gi Ningthouni!”
50 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Uyakholwa ngoba ngithe kuwe, bengikubona ungaphansi komkhiwa. Uzabona izinto ezinkulu kulalezi.
Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna heiyit pambi makhada leiringeida eina nangbu ure haina eina nangonda haibagi maramna nahakna thajaribra? Masidagi henna chaoba thabaksing nahakna ukhigani.”
51 Wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Kusukela khathesi lizabona izulu livulekile, lengilosi zikaNkulunkulu zisenyuka zisehla phezu kweNdodana yomuntu.
Adudagi Ibungona makha tarak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairiba asini, swarga hangdokpa amadi Tengban Mapugi dutsingna Migi Machanupa adugi mathakta kakhat khumtha touba adu nakhoina ugani.”
