UYohane 8

1 UYesu ke yena waya eNtabeni yemiNquma.2 Uthe ke ngesifingo wabuya wafika etempileni; baye bonke abantu besiza kuye; wahlala phantsi, wabafundisa.3 Ababhali nabaFarisi bazisa ke kuye umfazi obanjwe ekrexeza; baza, bemmise phakathi,4 bathi kuye, Mfundisi, lo mfazi wabanjwa ekrexeza, kanye kuloo ntlondi.5 Ke kaloku, emthethweni uMoses wasimisela ukuthi, abanjalo mabagityiselwe ngamatye; uthini na ke wena?6 Babesitsho ke bemhenda, ukuze babe nokummangalela; kodwa uYesu, ethobe phantsi, wabhala ngomnwe emhlabeni.7 Uthe ke bakumana bembuza, waphakama, wathi kubo, Ongenasono kuni makaqale amgibisele ngelitye.8 Wabuya wathoba phantsi, wabhala emhlabeni.9 Bathe ke bona bakuva, besohlwaywa naluvalo lwabo, baphuma ngabanye, beqalela kwabakhulu, kwada kwaba kwabokugqibela. Wasala yedwa uYesu, waye umfazi emi phakathi.10 Ephakamile ke uYesu, akabona mntu kwakuphela ngumfazi lowo; wathi kuye, Mfazindini, baphi na abo bamangaleli bakho? Akukho ukugwebileyo na?11 Wathi ke yena, Noko amnye, Nkosi. Wathi ke uYesu kuye, Nam andikugwebi; hamba, ungabuye wone.

12 Wabuya ngoko uYesu wathetha kubo, esithi, Ndim ukhanyiselo lwehlabathi; lowo undilandelayo akasayi kuhamba ebumnyameni; yena uya kuba nalo ukhanyiso lobomi.13 Bathe ngoko abaFarisi kuye, Wena uyazingqinela, ubungqina bakho abunene.14 Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Nokuba ndithi ndizingqinele mna ngokwam, buyinene ubungqina bam; ngokuba ndiyazi apho ndavela khona, nalapho ndiya khona; ke nina anazi apho ndivela khona, nalapho ndiya khona.15 Nina nigweba ngokwenyama; mna andigwebi namnye.16 Nokuba ndithi ndigwebe mna, umgwebo wam uyinene; ngokuba andindedwa, ndim noBawo owandithumayo.17 Nasemthethweni wenu ke kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ubungqina babantu ababini buyinene.18 Mna ndingulowo uzingqinelayo; uyandingqinela nalowo wandithumayo, uBawo.19 Bathi ngoko kuye, Uphi na uYihlo? Waphendula uYesu, wathi, Anindazi mna; animazi noBawo. Ukuba benindazi mna, ninge nimazi noBawo.20 Loo mazwi wawathetha uYesu ngasemkhumbini wokulondoloza imali, efundisa etempileni; akwabakho namnye umbambayo; ngokuba belingekafiki ilixa lakhe.

21 Wabuya ngoko uYesu wathi kubo, Ndiyemka mna; niya kundifuna, nifele esonweni senu; apho ndiya khona mna, aninako ukufika nina.22 Abesithi ngoko amaYuda, Angaba uya kuzibulala na, le nto athi, Apho ndiya khona mna, aninako ukufika nina?23 Wathi kuwo, Nina ningabangaphantsi, mna ndingowangaphezulu; nina ningabeli hlabathi, mna andingoweli hlabathi.24 Ndatsho ngoko kuni ukuthi, Niya kufela ezonweni zenu; kuba ekubeni nithe anakholwa ukuba ndinguye, niya kufela ezonweni zenu.25 Abesithi ngoko kuye, Ungubani wena? Wathi kuwo uYesu, Ndiyiloo nto ndayixelayo kuni kwasekuqaleni.26 Ndineendawo ezininzi zokuthetha nokugweba ngani; lowo wandithumayo uyinene; ndithi ke mna, izinto endazivayo kuye, ndithethe zona ezo kwihlabathi.27 Akaqondanga ukuba ebethetha ngoYise kuwo.28 Wathi ngoko uYesu kuwo, Xa nithe namphakamisa uNyana woMntu, noqonda oko ukuba ndinguye, nokuba andenzi nto ngokwam; ndisuka ndizithethe ezi zinto njengoko wandifundisayo uBawo.29 Lowo wandithumayo unam; uBawo akandishiyanga ndedwa; ngokuba mna ndihleli ndizenza izinto ezikholekileyo kuye.30 Akubon’ ukuba uyazithetha ezi zinto, bakholwa kuye, baba baninzi.

31 Ubesithi ngoko uYesu kuloo maYuda akholiweyo kuye, Ukuba nina nithe nahlala elizwini lam, noba ningabafundi bam, inyaniso.32 Naniya kuyazi inyaniso, yaye inyaniso iya kunikhulula.33 Amphendula, athi, Thina siyimbewu ka-Abraham; asizanga sibe sebukhobokeni nakubani; utsho ngani na wena ukuthi, Noba ngabakhululekileyo?34 Uwaphendule uYesu wathi, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Bonke abenza isono bangamakhoboka esono.35 Ikhoboka ke alihlali endlwini ngonaphakade; ngunyana ohlala ngonaphakade.36 Ngoko ukuba uNyana uthe wanikhulula, noba nikhululekile inene.37 Ndiyazi ukuba niyimbewu ka-Abraham; ke nifuna ukundibulala, ngokuba ilizwi lam lingenakuhamba kuni.

38 Mna ndithetha endikubonileyo kuBawo; nani ke nenza enikubonileyo kuyihlo.39 Aphendula athi kuye, Ubawo thina nguAbraham. Athi kuwo uYesu, Ukuba nibe ningabantwana baka-Abraham, ninge niyenza imisebenzi ka-Abraham.40 Kaloku ke, nifuna ukubulala mna, mntu unixelele inyaniso endayiva kuThixo; akakwenzanga oko uAbraham.41 Nina nenza imisebenzi yooyihlo. Athi ngoko kuye, Thina asizelwe ngabuhenyu, sinaBawo mnye, uThixo.42 Uthe ke uYesu kuwo, Ukuba uThixo ebenguYihlo, ninge nindithanda; kuba mna ndaphuma kuThixo, ndifikile ke; kuba andizanga ngokwam, nguye owandithumayo.43 Kungani na ukuba ningayiqondi intetho yam? Kungokuba ningenakuliva ilizwi lam.44 Nina ningaboyihlo uMtyholi, neenkanuko zoyihlo niyathanda ukuzenza. Yena waye esisibulala-mntu kwasekuqaleni; akemi enyanisweni, ngokuba akukho nyaniso kuye. Xa sukuba ethetha ubuxoki, uthetha okukokwakhe; ngokuba ulixoki, noyise wawo.45 Mna ke, ngokuba ndithetha inyaniso, anikholwa ndim.

46 Ngubani na kuni ondohlwayayo ngenxa yesono? Ukuba ke ndithetha inyaniso, kungani na ukuba ningakholwa ndim?47 Lowo ungokaThixo, uyaweva amazwi kaThixo; ngenxa yoko aniweva nina, ngokuba ningengabakaThixo.48 Aphendula ngoko amaYuda, athi kuye, Asilungisi na thina ukuthi ungumSamariya wena, nokuthi unedemon?49 Waphendula uYesu wathi, Andinademon mna; ndibeka uBawo; nina ke nibe nindihlaza.50 Mna ke andifuni luzuko lwam; ukho lowo ufunayo, ugwebayo.

51 Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ukuba umntu uthe waligcina ilizwi lam, akasayi kuza abone kufa naphakade.52 Athi ngoko amaYuda kuye, Kukalokunje, siyazi ukuba unedemon. UAbraham wafa, nabo abaprofeti bafa, ube wena usithi, Ukuba umntu uthe waligcina ilizwi lam, akasayi kuza eve kufa naphakade.53 Wena ungaba umkhulu yini na kunobawo wethu uAbraham, yena wafayo? Nabaprofeti bafa; uzenza bani na wena?54 Waphendula uYesu wathi, Ukuba mna ndithi ndizizukise, uzuko lwam alungebi nto; nguBawo ondizukisayo; enithi nina nguThixo wenu.55 Kanti ke animazanga, mna ke ndiyamazi. Ukuba ke ndithe andimazi, ndoba ndilixoki njengani; ndiyamazi, ndiligcinile nelizwi lakhe.56 UAbraham, uyihlo, wagcobela ukuwubona umhla wam; wawubona, wavuya.57 Athi ngoko amaYuda kuye, Ungekabi naminyaka imashumi mahlanu nje, umbonile na uAbraham?58 Wathi kuwo uYesu, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Engekabikho uAbraham, mna ndikho kade.59 Ngoko achola amatye, ukuze amgibisele; wazimela ke uYesu, waphuma etempileni, wacanda phakathi kwawo; wenjenjalo ukudlula.
