UYesu ngumdiliya wenene
1“Mna ndingumdiliya wenene; umlimi wawo nguBawo. 2Onke amasebe akum angavelisi siqhamo uyawasusa; onke avelisa isiqhamo uyawathena, ukuze avelise isiqhamo ngakumbi. 3Nina ke senihlambulukile yimfundiso endinifundise yona. 4Hlalani nimanyene nam, njengokuba nam ndihleli ndimanyene nani. Kaloku isebe alinako ukuvelisa isiqhamo ngokwalo lingahlalanga limanyene nomdiliya. Ngokukwanjalo ke nani aninakuvelisa siqhamo ningahlalanga nimanyene nam.
5“Ndim umdiliya; nina ningamasebe. Ohlala emanyene nam, ndibe mna ndihleli ndimanyene naye, uya kuvelisa iziqhamo ezininzi. Kaloku aninakwenza nento le nahlukene nam. 6Ongahlali emanyene nam uyalahlwa, afane nesebe elilahliweyo laza loma. Amasebe anjalo ayaqokelelwa, aphoswe emlilweni atshe. 7Xa nihleli nimanyene nam, nisoloko nisenza ngokwamazwi am, nocela nantoni na ke eniyifunayo, niyifumane. 8Udumo lukaBawo luyatshatshela xa nivelisa iziqhamo ezininzi, nisenjenjalo kuba ningabafundi bam. 9Mna ndiyanithanda nina kwanjengoko uBawo andithandayo mna. Hlalani ke nikholose ngokuthandwa ndim. 10Xa niyigcina imiyalelo yam, noba nihlala nikholose ngokuthandwa ndim. Xelisani mna endiyilulameleyo imiyalelo kaBawo, ndihlala ndikholose ngokuthandwa nguye.
11“Ezi zinto ndizithethe kuni ukuze nibe novuyo enilunikwe ndim, luze uvuyo lwenu lugqibelele. 12Umyalelo endiniyala ngawo ngowokuba nithandane njengoko mna ndanithandayo. 13Olona thando lukhulu umntu anokuzithanda ngalo izihlobo zakhe kukuba ubomi bakhe abuncamele zona. 14Nizizihlobo zam ke nina, ukuba niyayenza imiyalelo yam. 15Andisatsho kuni ukuthi nizizicaka, kuba isicaka asikwazi okwenziwa yinkosi yaso. Ndinibiza ngokuthi nizizihlobo, kuba ndinixelele konke endikuvileyo kuBawo. 16Asinini enanyula mna, ndim owaninyulayo nina. Ndanimisela okokuba niqhubele phambili, nivelise iziqhamo ezihlala zikho. Ke ngoko uBawo uya kuninika konke enithi nikucele egameni lam. 17Ndiniwisela lo mthetho ke: ‘Thandanani!’ ”
Ihlabathi liya kubathiya abafundi bakaYesu
18“Ukuba ihlabathi lithe lanithiya, ze nikhumbule okokuba lathiya mna kuqala. 19Ukuba beningabehlabathi, ihlabathi ngelinithanda okwabalo. Kodwa aningabo abehlabathi, kuba mna ndaninyula kulo ihlabathi. Kungoko linithiyileyo ihlabathi. 20Likhumbuleni ilizwi endalithethayo kuni, ndisithi: ‘Akukho sicaka sikhulu kunenkosi yaso.’ Banditshutshisile mna; ke ngoko bonitshutshisa nani. Abayamkelanga imfundiso yam; neyenu ke abayi kuyamkela. 21Ezi zinto zonke baya kuzenza kuni ngenxa yam, kuba abamazi lowo undithumileyo. 22Ukuba bendingathethanga nabo, ngebengabanga natyala; kodwa ngoku abanandawo bangalandula ngayo malunga nesono sabo, 23kuba ondithiyileyo mna uthiye kwanoBawo. 24Ukuba babengandibonanga ndisenza imisebenzi engazange yenziwa mntu, ngebengabanga natyala; kodwa bayibonile imisebenzi yam, kanti noko bandithiyile mna, bamthiyile naye uBawo. 25Noko, bekumelwe kukuba njalo, ukuze lizaliseke ilizwi elibhaliweyo emthethweni wabo elithi: ‘Bandithiya kungekho sizathu mpela.’
26“Ndakuba ndifikile kuBawo, ndonithumela uMmeli onguMoya wenyaniso ovela kuBawo. Xa athe wafika yena, wongqina ngam. 27Nani ke niya kungqina ngam, kuba beninam kwasekuqaleni.
