2 Munhu anopinda napamukova ndiye mufudzi wamakwai.
3 Murindi anomuzarurira musuo, uye makwai anonzwa inzwi rake. Anodana makwai ake nezita agoatungamirira kunze.
4 Kana achinge abudisa makwai ake ose, anofamba ari mberi kwawo, uye makwai ake anomutevera nokuti anoziva inzwi rake.
5 Asi haatongoteveri mutorwa; asi anotomutiza nokuti haazivi inzwi romweni.”
6 Jesu akataura mufananidzo uyu kwavari, asi havana kunzwisisa zvaakanga achivaudza.
7 Naizvozvo Jesu akatizve kwavari, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, ndini mukova wamakwai.
8 Vose vakanditangira vaiva mbavha namakororo, asi makwai haana kuvanzwa.
9 Ndini mukova; ani naani anopinda napandiri achaponeswa. Achapinda agobuda, uye achawana mafuro.
10 Mbavha inongouya kuzoba nokuuraya nokuparadza; ini ndakauya kuti ave noupenyu, uye ave nohwakazara.
11 “Ndini mufudzi akanaka. Mufudzi akanaka anorasira makwai ake upenyu hwake.
12 Mushandi haasi iye mufudzi nomwene wamakwai. Saka paanoona bere richiuya, anosiya makwai obva atiza. Ipapo bere rinobata boka ramakwai uye roaparadzira.
13 Munhu uyu anotiza nokuti mushandi zvake uye haana hanya namakwai.
14 “Ndini mufudzi wamakwai; ndinoziva makwai angu uye makwai angu anondiziva,
15 Baba sezvavanondiziva uye neni ndichiziva Baba, uye ndinorasira makwai angu upenyu hwangu.
16 Ndina mamwe makwai asati ari edanga rino. Naiwo ndinofanira kuauyisawo. Naiwowo achanzwa inzwi rangu, uye achava boka rimwe nomufudzi mumwe chete.
17 Chinoita kuti Baba vandide ndechokuti ndinorasira makwai angu upenyu hwangu, uye ndichahutorazve.
18 Hakuna munhu angahutora kwandiri, asi ndinohupa pachangu. Ndine simba rokuhurasa uye ndine simba rokuhutorazve. Uyu murayiro ndakaupiwa naBaba.”
19 Ipapo vaJudha vakapesanazve nokuda kwamashoko aya.
20 Vazhinji vavo vakati, “Akabatwa nedhimoni uye anopenga. Seiko muchimuteerera?”
21 Asi vamwe vakati, “Aya haangavi mashoko omunhu ane dhimoni. Ko, dhimoni ringasvinudza meso ousingaoni here?”
22 Ipapo Mutambo woKukumikidzwa kweTemberi paJerusarema wakasvika. Yainge iri nguva yechando,
23 uye Jesu akanga ari mutemberi achifamba mubiravira raSoromoni.
24 VaJudha vakanga vakamukomba, vakati, “Ucharamba uchitinetsa kusvikira riniko? Kana uri Kristu, tiudze pachena.”
25 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndakakuudzai, asi hamutendi. Zvishamiso zvandinoita muzita raBaba vangu zvinondipupurira,
26 asi hamutendi nokuti hamusi makwai angu.
27 Makwai angu anonzwa inzwi rangu; ini ndinoaziva, uye anonditevera.
28 Ndinoapa upenyu husingaperi, uye haatongofi; hakuna munhu angaabvuta muruoko rwangu. (aiōn , aiōnios )
29 Baba vangu, ivo vakaapa kwandiri, vakuru kuna vose; hakuna munhu angaabvuta muruoko rwaBaba vangu.
30 Ini naBaba tiri vamwe.”
31 VaJudha vakanongazve matombo kuti vamutake,
32 asi Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndakakuratidzai mabasa esimba mazhinji kubva kuna Baba. Nderipiko basa ipapa ramunoda kunditakira namabwe?”
33 Vakamupindura vachiti, “Hatisi kukutakira basa ripi zvaro ipapa, asi nokuda kwokumhura Mwari, nokuti iwe, munhuwo zvake, unozviti uri Mwari.”
34 Jesu akavapindura akati, “Ko, hazvina kunyorwa here muMurayiro wenyu, kuti ‘Ndakati muri vamwari’?
35 Kana akavaidza ‘vamwari,’ avo shoko raMwari rakasvika kwavari, uye Rugwaro harungaputswi,
36 zvakadii kuno uyo akatsaurwa naBaba saiye wavo chaiye uye wavakatuma panyika? Seiko muchindipomera mhosva yokumhura, zvandati, ‘Ndiri Mwanakomana waMwari’?
37 Musanditenda kana ndisina kuita zvinoitwa naBaba vangu.
38 Asi kana ndichizviita, kunyange dai musinganditendi, tendai mabasa esimba, kuti mugoziva uye mugonzwisisa kuti Baba vari mandiri, uye ini ndiri muna Baba.”
39 Vakaedzazve kumubata, asi akavapunyuka.
