21 Wabese utsi kubo: “Mine ngiyahamba futsi nitangifuna, kepha nitawufela etonweni tenu.+ Ngeke nikhone kufika lapho ngiya khona.”+ 22 EmaJuda atsi: “Utsi nje akafuni kutibulala? Ngobe utsi: ‘Ngeke nikhone kufika lapho ngiya khona.’” 23 Ngako watsi kuwo: “Nine nivela emhlabeni, kodvwa mine ngivela ezulwini.+ Nine nivela kulelive, kodvwa mine angiveli kulo. 24 Kungako ngitsite kini nitawufela etonweni tenu. Ngobe naningakholwa kutsi nginguye, nitawufela etonweni tenu.” 25 Wona atsi kuye: “Ungubani?” Jesu wawaphendvula watsi: “Ngitihluphelani nje ngekukhuluma nani? 26 Tinyenti tintfo lokufanele ngitisho ngani futsi nginehlulele ngato. Ecinisweni, Loyo longitfumile uneliciniso futsi loko lengakuva kuye ngiko lengikukhuluma kubantfu.”*+ 27 Abazange bacondze kutsi ubatjela ngaBabe wakhe wasezulwini. 28 Jesu wabese utsi: “Naseniyilengisile iNdvodzana yemuntfu elugodvweni,+ nitawati kutsi nginguye,+ nekutsi angitenteli lutfo ngekwami,+ kodvwa letintfo ngitikhuluma njengobe Babe angifundzisile. 29 Loyo longitfumile unami, futsi akakangishiyi ngedvwa, ngobe ngihlale ngenta tintfo letimjabulisako.”+ 30 Njengobe bekasho letintfo, bantfu labanyenti bakholwa kuye.
31 Jesu wakhuluma nalamaJuda lebekakholwe kuye, watsi: “Nanigcina emavi ami, nisuke nibafundzi bami sibili. 32 Nitawulati liciniso,+ futsi liciniso litanikhulula.”+ 33 Wona amphendvula atsi: “Tsine siyintalelwane ya-Abrahama futsi asikaze sibe tigcili temuntfu. Usho kutsini-ke nawutsi: ‘Nitawukhululeka’?” 34 Jesu watsi kuwo: “Ngicinisile, ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Wonkhe umuntfu lowonako usigcili sesono.+ 35 Ngetulu kwaloko, sigcili asihlali endlini kuze kube phakadze, kodvwa indvodzana ngiyo lehlala phakadze. 36 Ngako nangabe iNdvodzana inikhulula, nitawukhululeka mbamba. 37 Ngiyati kutsi niyintalelwane ya-Abrahama. Kodvwa nifuna kungibulala ngobe anikwemukeli lengikufundzisako. 38 Mine ngikhuluma loko lengikubone ngisesenaBabe,+ kodvwa nine nenta tintfo lenativa kubabe wenu.” 39 Wona amphendvula atsi: “Babe wetfu ngu-Abrahama.” Jesu watsi: “Kube benibantfwana ba-Abrahama,+ benitawenta loko lakwenta. 40 Kodvwa nifuna kungibulala, ngibe nginitjele liciniso lengilive kuNkulunkulu.+ Abrahama akazange akwente loko. 41 Nine nenta loko babe wenu lakwentako.” Wona atsi kuye: “Asisiwo emavezandlebe;* sinaBabe munye, lokunguNkulunkulu.”
42 Jesu watsi kuwo: “Kube Nkulunkulu bekanguBabe wenu, benitangitsandza,+ ngobe ngivela kuye. Angizange ngititele, kodvwa ngatfunywa nguye.+ 43 Nentiwa yini kutsi ningakucondzi loko lengikushoko? Kungobe aniwalaleli emavi ami. 44 Nine nivela kubabe wenu longuDeveli, nifuna nekwenta loko lokufiswa nguye.+ Yena bekangumbulali kusukela ekucaleni,+ futsi akazange ahlale ecinisweni ngobe ute liciniso. Nakakhuluma emanga, ukhuluma intfo yakhe, ngobe ungumcambimanga nababe wemanga.+ 45 Ngenca yekutsi mine nginitjela liciniso, aningikholwa. 46 Ngubani kini longatsi nginesono? Nangabe-ke ngikhuluma liciniso, aningikholwa leni? 47 Loyo lovela kuNkulunkulu uyawalalela emavi aNkulunkulu.+ Kungako ningalaleli, ngobe aniveli kuNkulunkulu.”+
48 LamaJuda amphendvula atsi: “Sinemanga yini nasitsi: ‘Wena ungumSamariya+ futsi unelidimoni’?”+ 49 Jesu watsi kuwo: “Ngite lidimoni, kodvwa ngihlonipha Babe, futsi nine aningihloniphi. 50 Mine angitifuneli ludvumo;+ munye lolufunako nalowehlulelako. 51 Ngicinisile, ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Nangabe umuntfu alalela emavi ami, ngeke aze afe.”+ 52 LamaJuda atsi kuye: “Sesiyati kutsi vele unelidimoni. Abrahama wafa, nebaphrofethi bafa, kodvwa wena utsi: ‘Nangabe umuntfu alalela emavi ami, ngeke aze afe.’ 53 Kukhona yini loncono ngako kunababe wetfu Abrahama lowafa? Ngisho nebaphrofethi nabo bafa. Wena-ke ucabanga kutsi ungubani?” 54 Jesu watsi: “Nangabe ngitikhatimulisa mine, inkhatimulo yami ilite. NguBabe longikhatimulisako,+ loyo nine lenitsi unguNkulunkulu wenu. 55 Nine animati,+ kodvwa mine ngiyamati.+ Kube ngitsite angimati bengitawube ngingumcambimanga njengani. Kepha ngiyamati futsi ngiyaligcina livi lakhe. 56 Babe wenu Abrahama wajabula kakhulu nakutsiwa utawubona lilanga lami, ngako walibona futsi loko kwamjabulisa.”+ 57 LamaJuda abese atsi kuye: “Usete ngisho neminyaka lengu-50 budzala, kodvwa utsi sewumbonile Abrahama?” 58 Jesu watsi kuwo: “Ngicinisile, ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Mine ngaba khona Abrahama asengekho.”+ 59 Ngako batsatsa ematje kuze bamgcobe ngawo, kodvwa Jesu wabhaca futsi waphuma ethempelini.
