Johane 12
1Khona ezinsukwini eziyisithupha ngaphambi kwePhasika uJesu wafika eBethaniya, lapho kwakukhona uLazaru owayefile, amvusa kwabafileyo.
2Bamenzela khona isidlo sakusihlwa; uMarta wayekhonza; kepha uLazaru wayengomunye wababehlezi naye ekudleni.
3UMariya wayesethatha ilitha lamafutha enadi lodwa elinenani elikhulu, wagcoba izinyawo zikaJesu, wesula izinyawo zakhe ngezinwele zakhe; indlu yagcwala iphunga lamafutha.
4Khona wathi omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJudasi Iskariyothe, kaSimoni, obezamkhaphela.
5Kungani lawa mafutha engathengiswanga ngabodenariyo abangamakhulu amathathu, kwaphiwa abampofu na?
6Wakusho lokho kungesikho ukuthi wayekhathalela abampofu; kodwa ngoba belisela, liphethe isikhwama, lithwala okufakwe kuso.
7Khona uJesu wathi: “Myekeni;
8Ngokuba abampofu ninabo njalo; kepha mina aninami njalo.
9Ngakho ixuku elikhulu labaJuda lakwazi ukuthi ulapho, laselisiza kungengenxa kaJesu kuphela, kodwa lokuthi libone loLazaro ayemvuse kwabafileyo.
10Kepha abapristi abakhulu benza icebo lokuba babulale noLazaru;
11ngokuba ngenxa yakhe abaningi babaJuda bamuka, bakholwa nguJesu.
12Ngangomuso izixuku eziningi ezazize emkhosini zizwa ukuthi uJesu uyeza eJerusalema;
13Yathatha amagatsha esundu, yaphuma ukumhlangabeza, yamemeza yathi: “Hosana!
14UJesu esefumene ithole likababhemi, wahlala phezu kwalo; njengoba kulotshiwe,
15Ungesabi, ndodakazi yaseSiyoni; bheka, iNkosi yakho iyeza, ihlezi etholeni lembongolo.
16Lezizinto abafundi bakhe abakuqondanga ekuqaleni;
17Ngakho isixuku esasinaye lapho ebiza uLazaru ukuba aphume ethuneni, emvusa kwabafileyo, safakaza.
18Ngalokho isixuku samhlangabeza, ngokuba sasizwile ukuthi wenze lesi sibonakaliso.
19AbaFarisi bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Niyabona ukuthi anisizi lutho na? bheka, umhlaba uyamlandela.
20Kwakukhona amaGreki athile kwababekhuphukele ukukhuleka emkhosini;
21Lawo-ke eza kuFiliphu waseBetsayida laseGalile, amcela, athi: “Nkosi, sithanda ukubona uJesu.
22UFiliphu weza watshela u-Andreya; o-Andreya noFiliphu babuye batshela uJesu.
23UJesu wabaphendula wathi: “Isikhathi sesifikile sokuba iNdodana yomuntu ikhazinyuliswe.
24Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uma uhlamvu lukakolweni luwela emhlabathini futhi lufe, luhlala lodwa; kepha uma lufa, luthela isithelo esiningi.
25Othanda ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho; futhi ozonda ukuphila kwakhe kuleli zwe uyokulondela ukuphila okuphakade.
26Uma umuntu engikhonza, makangilandele; nalapho ngikhona, iyakuba khona nenceku yami; uma umuntu engikhonza, uBaba uyakumdumisa yena.
27Kalokhu umphefumulo wami ukhathazekile; futhi ngizothini? Baba, ngisindise kulelihora, kodwa ngenxa yalokhu ngize kuleli hora.
28Baba, khazimulisa ibizo lakho. Kwavela izwi ezulwini, lithi: “Ngilikhazimulisile, ngobuye ngilikhazimulise.
29Ngakho ixuku elalimi khona likuzwa bathi liyaduma; abanye bathi: Ingilosi ikhulume kuye.
30UJesu waphendula wathi: Lelilizwi kalivelanga ngenxa yami, kodwa ngenxa yenu.
31Kalokhu kungukwahlulelwa kwalomhlaba;
32Mina-ke, uma ngiphakanyiswa emhlabeni, ngiyakubadonsela kimi bonke.
33Wakusho lokho efanekisa ukufa ayezakufa ngakho.
34Isixuku samphendula sathi: “Sizwile emthethweni ukuthi uKristu uhlala phakade; usho kanjani ukuthi: INdodana yomuntu imelwe ukuphakanyiswa na? ingubani le Ndodana yomuntu na?
35UJesu wayesethi kubo: “Kuseyisikhashana ukukhanya kukini. Hambani nisenokukhanya, funa ubumnyama bunifikele, ngokuba ohamba ebumnyameni akazi lapho eya khona.
36Nisenokukhanya kholwani ngukukhanya, ukuze nibe ngabantwana bokukhanya. UJesu wakhuluma lokho, wamuka, wacasha kubo.
37Kodwa lanxa wayenze izibonakaliso ezingaka phambi kwabo, kabakholwanga kuye;
38ukuze kugcwaliseke izwi lika-Isaya umprofethi, alishoyo ukuthi: “Nkosi, ngubani okholwe umbiko wethu na? Nengalo yeNkosi yambulelwe bani na?
39Ngakho kabakholwanga, ngoba uIsaya waphinda wathi:
40Uphuphuthekisile amehlo abo, wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yabo; ukuze bangaboni ngamehlo, baqonde ngenhliziyo, baphenduke, ngibaphulukise.
41U-Isaya wakhuluma lokho ebona inkazimulo yakhe, wakhuluma ngaye.
42Nokho nabaningi bababusi bakholwa kuye; kodwa ngenxa yabaFarisi kabavumanga, hlezi baxotshwe esinagogeni;
43Ngokuba babethanda udumo lwabantu kunodumo lukaNkulunkulu.
44UJesu wamemeza wathi: “Okholwa yimi, kakholwa yimi, kodwa nakulowo ongithumileyo.
45Ongibonayo mina ubona ongithumileyo.
46Mina ngizile njengokukhanya emhlabeni, ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa yimi angahlali ebumnyameni.
47Uma umuntu ezwa amazwi ami, engawakholwa, angimahluleli;
48Ongalayo, engawamukeli amazwi ami, unomahlulelayo;
49Ngokuba angikhulumanga ngokwami; kodwa uBaba ongithumileyo nguyena onginike umyalo, engizakusho, nokuthi ngiyakukhulumani.
50Ngiyazi ukuthi umyalo wakhe ungukuphila okuphakade;
Okuqokiwe okwamanje:
