Ukusilisa Echibini
1Emva kwesikhathi esithile uJesu waya eJerusalema emkhosini wamaJuda. 2EJerusalema kukhona ichibi eduze lesango leZimvu, elithiwa ngesi-Aramu yiBhethisayida, elalihonqolozelwe ngensika ezinhlanu ezibiyelweyo. 3Khonapho abantu abayizilima abanengi babandise ukuhlala khona, iziphofu, abaqhulayo, abome imihlubulo [belindele ukudungwa kwamanzi; 4ngoba kwakusithi ngezikhathi ezithile ingilosi yeNkosi yayisehlela echibini, idungadunge amanzi besekusithi umuntu oqalayo ukungena emanzini ngemva kokudungeka kwawo asiliswe loba kuwuphi umkhuhlane owawumbambile].#5.4 Livesi kayikho kwamanye amaBhayibhili esiLungu. 5Omunye owayelapho wayeyisigoga okweminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lesificaminwembili. 6Kwathi uJesu embona elele khonapho njalo esetsheliwe ukuthi kade abanjalo okwesikhathi eside, wambuza wathi, “Uyafuna na ukusila?”
7Oyisilima waphendula wathi, “Nkosi, kangilamuntu wokungisiza angingenise echibini lapho amanzi edungwa. Ngithi lapho ngizama ukungena omunye angingenele kuqala.”
8UJesu wasethi kuye, “Sukuma! Thatha icansi lakho uhambe.” 9Khonokho nje indoda yasila; yathatha icansi layo yahamba.
Lokhu kwenzakala ngelanga leSabatha, 10amaJuda asesithi endodeni eyayisilisiwe, “KuliSabatha; umthetho uyakwalela ukuthi uthwale icansi lakho.”
11Kodwa yaphendula yathi, “Umuntu ongisilisileyo uthe, ‘Thatha icansi lakho uhambe.’  ”
12Aseyibuza athi, “Ngubani yena lowo okutshele ukuthi uthathe icansi uhambe?”
13Indoda leyo eyasiliswayo yayingafanisi lakufanisa ukuthi kambe ngabe wayengubani, ngoba uJesu wayesethe nyelele wangena phakathi kwabantu.
14Emva kwalokho uJesu wayifumana ethempelini indoda leyo wathi kuyo, “Khangela-ke ususilile njalo. Khawula ukwenza isono funa okubi ukwedlula okokuqala kukwehlele.” 15Indoda leyo yasuka yayatshela amaJuda ukuthi kwakunguJesu owayeyisilisile.
Ukuphila NgeNdodana
16Ngakho amaJuda amkhahlameza uJesu ngoba wayesenza izinto lezi ngeSabatha. 17UJesu wathi kubo, “UBaba uhlezi esemsebenzini wakhe kuze kube namuhla, lami njalo ngiyasebenza.” 18Ngalesisizatho amaJuda azama kakhulu ukumbulala; wayengephuli iSabatha kuphela kodwa wayebiza uNkulunkulu ngokuthi nguYise, ezenza yena olingana loNkulunkulu.
19UJesu wabanika impendulo le: “Ngiqinisile ngithi iNdodana ingeke yenze lutho ngokwayo; ingenza kuphela lokho ebona uYise ekwenza, ngoba loba kuyini uYise akwenzayo leNdodana iyakwenza. 20Ngoba uYise uyayithanda iNdodana, uyitshengisa konke akwenzayo. Yebo, lizamangala ukuthi uzayitshengisa izinto ezinkulu kulalezi. 21Njengalokhu uYise evusa abafileyo abaphe ukuphila, kanjalo iNdodana inika ukuphila kulabo ethanda ukubanika khona. 22Okunye njalo, uYise kahluleli muntu, kodwa usebeke konke ukwahlulela ezandleni zeNdodana, 23ukuze bonke bayidumise iNdodana njengalokhu bedumisa uYise. Lowo ongayidumisiyo iNdodana kamdumisi uYise oyithumileyo.
24 Ngiqinisile ngithi lowo owezwayo amazwi ami amkholwe lowo ongithumileyo ulokuphila okungapheliyo njalo kazukulahlwa; usechaphile wasuka ekufeni waya ekuphileni. 25Ngiqinisile ngithi, isikhathi siyeza njalo sivele sesifikile lapho abafileyo bezalizwa ilizwi leNdodana kaNkulunkulu, kuthi bonke abezwayo baphile. 26Njengoba uYise elokuphila kuye yena ngokwakhe, ngakho useyinikile iNdodana ukuba ibe lokuphila kuyo yona ngokwayo. 27Njalo useyiphile amandla okwahlulela ngoba iyiNdodana yoMuntu.
28 Kakungalimangalisi lokhu ngoba siyeza isikhathi lapho bonke abasemathuneni abo bezalizwa ilizwi layo 29baphume, labo abenze okuhle bazavuka baphile, lalabo abenze ububi bazavuka balahlwe. 30Mina ngokwami ngingeke ngenze lutho; ngahlulela njengokutshelwa kwami, futhi ukwahlulela kwami kuqondile, ngoba kangidingi kuzithabisa, kodwa ukuthabisa lowo ongithumileyo.”
Ubufakazi NgoJesu
31 “Nxa ngizifakazela mina ngokwami ubufakazi bami kabuqinisekanga. 32Ukhona omunye ofakaza kuhle ngami njalo ngiyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe ngami buqinisekile.
33 Selike lathumela kuJohane yena walifakazela iqiniso. 34Kakutsho ukuthi ngamukela ubufakazi bomuntu; kodwa ngikuthinta lokhu ukuze lisindiswe. 35UJohane wayeyisibane esabhebhayo sanika ukukhanya, lakhetha ukuthokoza ngokukhanya kwakhe okwesikhatshana.
36 Ngilabo ubufakazi obulesisindo esikhulu kulobukaJohane. Ngoba umsebenzi uBaba anginike wona ukuba ngiwuqedise, wona engiwenzayo uyafakaza ukuthi uBaba ungithumile. 37Njalo uBaba ongithumileyo usefakazile yena ngokwakhe ngami. Kalikaze lilizwe ilizwi lakhe kumbe libone isimo sakhe 38njalo ilizwi lakhe kalihlali kini ngoba kalimkholwa lowo amthumileyo. 39Liphenyisisa imibhalo liyihlola ngoba licabanga ukuthi ngayo lilakho ukuphila okungapheliyo. Yiyo le imibhalo efakaza ngami, 40ikanti liyala ukuza kimi lizozuza ukuphila.
41 Kangilwamukeli udumo olusuka ebantwini, 42kodwa ngiyalazi lina. Ngiyazi ukuthi kalilalo uthando lukaNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zenu. 43Ngibuye ngebizo likaBaba kodwa kalingamukeli; kodwa nxa omunye efika ngebizo lakhe, lizamamukela. 44Lingakholwa kanjani nxa lisamukela udumo elizipha lona kodwa lingenzi mizamo yokuzuza udumo oluvela kuNkulunkulu onguye yedwa na?
45 Kodwa lingacabangi ukuthi ngizalethesa icala phambi kukaBaba. Umangaleli wenu nguMosi, okukuye elibeke khona amathemba enu. 46Kube lamkholwa uMosi, ngabe liyangikholwa ngoba wabhala ngami. 47Kodwa njengoba lingakukholwa lokho akubhalayo, lizakukholwa kanjani lokho engikutshoyo na?”
