Jesu uyindlela leya kuBabe
1 “Inhlitiyo yenu ingakhatsateki, kholwani nguNkulunkulu nikholwe nangimi. 2Ekhaya laBabe kunetindlu letinyenti; ngisaya kunilungisela indzawo. Ngabe anginitjeli loko kube akunjalo. 3 Nase ngiyile nganilungisela indzawo, ngiyawubuya nginilandze, nite kimi, kuze kutsi lapho ngikhona nibe khona nani. 4Niyayati indlela leya lapho ngiya khona.”
5Tomase watsi kuye: “Nkhosi, asati lapho uya khona. Indlela singayati njani?”
6 Jesu watsi kuye: “Mine ngiyindlela, neliciniso, nekuphila. Kute longeta kuBabe nakangeti ngami.
7“Kube beningati mine ngabe niyamati naBabe. Kepha kusukela manje niyamati, nimbonile.”
8Filiphu watsi kuye: “Nkhosi, sibonise uYihlo, sitakweneliseka.”
9 Jesu watsi kuye: “Senginesikhatsi lesidze nginani, kodvwa nanyalo awukangati, Filiphu? Lowo losabone mine, umbonile naBabe. Usho kanjani kutsi: ‘Sibonise uYihlo’? 10 Filiphu, awukholwa yini kutsi ngikuBabe, naBabe ukimi? Lamavi lengiwakhulume kini, angitikhulumeli mine, kodvwa Babe lohlala kimi nguye lowenta umsebenti wakhe ngami. 11 Ngikholweni kutsi ngikuBabe, naBabe ukimi. Nakungenjalo ngikholweni ngenca yalemisebenti.
12 “Ngicinisile, ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Lowo lokholwa ngimi uyawuyenta lemisebenti lengiyentako; yebo, uyakwenta nalengetulu kwalena, ngobe mine ngiya kuBabe. 13 Ngiyakwenta nome ngabe yini leniyicelako egameni lami, kuze inkhatimulo yaBabe ibonakaliswe eNdvodzaneni. 14Nanicela nome yini kimi egameni lami, ngiyawunentela yona.”
Setsembiso lesinguMoya Longcwele
15 “Naningitsandza, nitawugcina imiyalo yami. 16 Ngiyawucela kuBabe kutsi aniphe lomunye uMdvudvuti kutsi abe kanye nani kuze kube phakadze, 17 yena unguMoya weliciniso, live lelingeke limemukele, ngobe lingamboni futsi lingamati. Kodvwa nine niyamati, ngobe uhlala nani, futsi uyawuhlala kini.
18 “Ngingeke nginishiye nitintsandzane, ngitawubuya ngite kini. 19 Kodvwa sekusele sikhashana live lingabe lisangibona, noko nine niyawungibona, ngobe mine ngiphila, nani futsi niyawuphila. 20 Ngalelo langa nine niyakwati kutsi ngikuBabe nekutsi nine nikimi, njengobe nami ngikini.
21“Lowo lonemiyalo yami futsi ayigcine, nguye-ke longitsandzako. Lowo lotsandza mine uyawutsandvwa nguBabe, nami ngiyawumtsandza ngitibonakalise kuye.”
22Judasi, kungesiye Judasi Skariyothi, watsi kuye: “Nkhosi, utatibonakaliselani kitsi? Yini ungatibonakalisi eveni?”
23 Jesu wamphendvula watsi: “Umuntfu nakangitsandza, uyawugcina emavi ami. Babe uyawumtsandza. Tsine-ke naBabe siyawuta kuye, sihlale naye. 24 Umuntfu longangitsandzi mine, akawagcini emavi ami. Lamavi leniwevile akasiwo emavi ami, kodvwa ngaBabe longitfumile.
25“Letintfo ngitikhulumile kini ngesikhatsi ngisenani. 26 Kepha uMeluleki, Moya Longcwele, Babe latamtfumela egameni lami, utanifundzisa konkhe, anikhumbute konkhe lenginitjele kona.
27 “Nginishiya nekuthula. Lokuthula lenginipha kona akufanani nesipho selive. Tinhlitiyo tenu tingabokhatsateka futsi tingesabi. 28 Ningivile ngitsi kini: ‘Ngiyahamba, kodvwa ngitawubuya ngite kini.’ Kube beningitsandza, ngabe niyajabula kutsi ngiya kuBabe, ngobe Babe mkhulu kunami. 29 Manje senginitjele loku ngaphambili kwekutsi kwenteke, kuze kutsi nakwenteka, nikholwe. 30 Angisenakukhuluma kabanti nani, ngobe nangu umbusi walelive aseta, akanamandla etikwami. 31 Kodvwa konkhe loku kwentekela kutsi live lati kutsi Babe ngiyamtsandza, nekutsi ngenta njengobe yena angiyalile.
“Sukumani, sambe!”
