Kulandzisa KwaJohane
9 Njengobe Jesu bekahamba, wabona lenye indvodza leyatalwa ingaboni emehlweni. 2 Bafundzi bakhe bambuta batsi: “Mfundzisi,*+ ngubani lowona, ngiyo yini nobe batali bayo, kutsi ingaze italwe ingaboni emehlweni?” 3 Jesu watsi: “Lendvodza ayizange yone, nebatali bayo nabo abazange bone, kodvwa loku kwenteka kuze bantfu batobona imisebenti yaNkulunkulu.+ 4 Kufanele sente loko lokwemukelwa nguLoyo longitfumile, kusesemini;+ ngobe busuku buyeta lapho kutawuba bete umuntfu longakhona kusebenta. 5 Mine ngikukhanya kwelive,+ yingci nje nangisesekhona lapha emhlabeni.” 6 Ngemuva kwekusho loko, wakhafulela phansi, wenta ludzaka, walunindza emehlweni alendvodza,+ 7 watsi kuyo: “Hamba uyogeza echibini laseSilowama” (lokusho kutsi “Lokutfunyiwe”). Ngako yahamba yageza, yabuya seyibona.+
8 Ngemuva kwaloko, bomakhelwane nalabo lebebavame kuyibona icela batsi: “Lena akusiyo yini lendvodza lebeyihlale icela?” 9 Labanye bebatsi: “Ngiyo.” Kantsi labanye batsi: “Cha akusiyo, ifana nayo.” Lendvodza yona beyisolo itsi: “Ngingiyo.” 10 Bayibuta batsi: “Pho emehlo akho avuleke njani?” 11 Yona yaphendvula yatsi: “Lendvodza lokutsiwa nguJesu yente ludzaka yalunindza emehlweni ami yatsi: ‘Hamba uye eSilowama ufike ugeze.’+ Ngako ngihambile ngafike ngageza, ngase ngiyabona.” 12 Nabeva loku batsi: “Uphi lomuntfu?” Yona yatsi: “Angimati.”
13 Babese batsatsa lendvodza lebeyingaboni emehlweni bayiyisa kubaFarisi. 14 Bekulilanga leliSabatha+ ngesikhatsi Jesu enta loludzaka futsi avula emehlo alendvodza.+ 15 NebaFarisi bayibuta lendvodza kutsi emehlo ayo avuleke njani. Yona yatsi kubo: “Lomuntfu unindze emehlo ami ngeludzaka, ngageza, ngase ngiyabona.” 16 Labanye baFarisi batsi: “Lomuntfu akaveli kuNkulunkulu, ngobe akaligcini liSabatha.”+ Labanye batsi: “Kodvwa umuntfu losoni angatenta kanjani timangaliso letinjena?”+ Ngako behlukana ekhatsi.+ 17 Baphindze batsi kulendvodza: “Wena utsini, ngobe naku ukuvule emehlo?” Lendvodza yatsi: “Lomuntfu ungumphrofethi.”
18 Kodvwa emaJuda bekangakholwa kutsi lendvodza beyike yangaboni emehlweni nekutsi seyiyabona, kwaze kwaba ngulapho abita batali bayo. 19 Ababuta atsi: “Angitsi lena ngulendvodzana yenu lenitsi yatalwa ingaboni emehlweni? Pho kwenteke kanjani kutsi ibone?” 20 Labatali bayo batsi: “Lena vele yindvodzana yetfu futsi yatalwa ingaboni emehlweni. 21 Kodvwa kutsi ngubani loyente yabona nobe loyivule emehlo, asati. Butani yona ngobe yindzala. Kufanele itikhulumele yona.” 22 Batali bayo basho loku ngobe bebesaba baholi labangemaJuda,+ ngenca yekutsi emaJuda besekavele avumelene ngekutsi nobe ngubani lovumako kutsi Jesu unguKhristu kufanele acoshwe esinagogeni.+ 23 Kungako-ke batsi: “Mdzala, butani yena.”
24 Baphindze babita lendvodza lebeyike yangaboni emehlweni, batsi kuyo: “Khatimulisa Nkulunkulu ngekutsi ukhulume liciniso; siyati kutsi lomuntfu usoni.” 25 Lendvodza yatsi: “Kutsi usoni nobe cha, angati. Yinye nje kuphela intfo lengiyatiko, kutsi bengingaboni emehlweni, kodvwa nyalo sengiyabona.” 26 Babese batsi kuyo: “Yini layentile? Uwavule njani emehlo akho?” 27 Yona yatsi: “Besengivele nginitjelile kodvwa anikalaleli. Nifunelani kutsi ngiphindze nginitjele? Senifuna kuba bafundzi bakhe yini?” 28 Nabeva loku, bahlekisa ngalendvodza batsi: “Nguwe umfundzi waloyo muntfu, kodvwa tsine sibafundzi baMosi. 29 Siyati kutsi Nkulunkulu wakhuluma kuMosi, kodvwa lomuntfu yena asimati kutsi uvelaphi.” 30 Lendvodza yaphendvula yatsi: “Kuyamangalisa-ke kutsi animati kutsi uvelaphi, kodvwa abe awavulile emehlo ami. 31 Siyati kutsi Nkulunkulu akabalaleli bantfu labatoni,+ kodvwa nangabe umuntfu amesaba futsi enta intsandvo yakhe, Nkulunkulu uyamlalela.+ 32 Kusukela endvulo, asikake sesive kutsiwa umuntfu uvule emehlo alotsite lowatalwa angaboni emehlweni. 33 Kube lomuntfu akaveli kuNkulunkulu, kute intfo lebekangakhona kuyenta.”+ 34 Ngako bayiphendvula batsi: “Wena watalelwa esonweni, kodvwa nyalo sewufundzisa tsine?” Babese bayikhiphela ngephandle.+
35 Jesu weva kutsi bayicoshile lendvodza, ngako nakayibona watsi: “Uyakholwa yini eNdvodzaneni yemuntfu?” 36 Lendvodza yatsi: “Mnumzane, ingubani, kuze ngitewukholwa kuyo?” 37 Jesu watsi kuyo: “Uyibonile, futsi ecinisweni ngiyo lena lokhuluma nayo.” 38 Lendvodza yatsi: “Yebo Nkhosi, ngiyakholwa kuyo.” Yabese iyakhotsama embikwakhe. 39 Jesu wabese utsi: “Ngeta eveni kuze bantfu batowehlulelwa, khona labo labangaboni batewubona,+ nalabo lababonako bangasaboni.”+ 40 BaFarisi lebebanaye bamuva nakasho loku, batsi kuye: “Usho kutsi natsi asiboni yini emehlweni?” 41 Jesu watsi kubo: “Kube beningaboni emehlweni, beningeke nibe nesono. Kodvwa nyalo nitsi: ‘Siyabona.’ Ngako sono senu sitawuchubeka sikhona.”+
