UYesu uthandazela abafundi bakhe
1Ezi zinto wazithetha uYesu, wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe wakhangela ezulwini, wathi, Bawo, lifikile ilixa; mzukise uNyana wakho, ukuze noNyana wakho akuzukise; 2njengokuba wamnika igunya kubantu bonke, ukuze bonke omnike bona, abanike ubomi obungunaphakade. 3Bubo ke obu ubomi obungunaphakade, ukuba mabakwazi, wena ukuphela koThixo oyinyaniso, naye uYesu Kristu omthumileyo.
4Mna ndikuzukisile emhlabeni, ndiwufezile umsebenzi obundinikile ukuba ndiwenze. 5Ndízukise ke ngoku, wena Bawo, kuwe ngokwakho, ngozuko ebendinalo kuwe, lingekabikho ihlabathi. 6Ndilibonakalisile igama lakho kubo abantu obundinike bona, bephuma ehlabathini; babengabakho, wabanika mna; ilizwi lakho balibambile ke. 7Ngoku baqondile, ukuba zonke izinto ondinike zona zivela kuwe. 8Ngokuba amazwi ondinike wona, ndiwaniké bona; bona bawathabatha, baqonda ngokwenyaniso ukuba ndaphuma kuwe; bakholwa ukuba wena wandithuma.
9Mna ndicelela bona; andiceleli lona ihlabathi, ndicelela abo undinike bona; ngokuba bengabakho. 10Izinto zonke ezizezam zezakho, zibe ezakho zizezam; ndizukisekile ke kubo. 11Andisekhona ehlabathini, ke bona basesehlabathini; mna ndiza kuwe. Bawo oyingcwele, bálondolozele egameni lakho abo undinike bona, ukuze babe banye njengathi. 12Oko bendinabo ehlabathini mna, bendibalondolozele egameni lakho; owandinika bona ndibagcinile; akukho namnye kubo utshabaleleyo, ingenguye lowo wentshabalalo, ukuze isibhalo sizaliseke. 13Ngoku ke ndiza kuwe; nezi zinto ndizithetha ehlabathini, ukuze babe nalo uvuyo lwam lúzalisekile kubo. 14Mna ndibaniké ilizwi lakho; laza ihlabathi labathiya, ngokuba bengengabo abehlabathi, njengokuba nam ndingenguye owehlabathi.
15Andiceli ukuba ubasuse ehlabathini; ndicela ukuba ubagcine kuyo inkohlakalo. 16Àbangabo abehlabathi, njengokuba nam ndingenguye owehlabathi. 17Bangcwalise ngayo inyaniso yakho; ilizwi lakho liyinyaniso. 18Njengokuba wandithuma ehlabathini, nam ndibathume bona ehlabathini. 19Ngenxa yabo ke ndiyazingcwalisa mna, ukuze nabo babe ngabangcwalisiweyo yinyaniso.
20Andiceleli ke aba bodwa, ndicelela nabo baya kukholwa kum ngelizwi labo; ukuze bonke babe banye; 21njengokuba wena, Bawo, ukum, mna ndikuwe, ukuze nabo babe banye kuthi; ukuze ihlabathi likholwe ukuba wena wandithuma. 22Uzuko owandinika lona, ndilunike bona; ukuze babe banye, njengokuba thina sibanye; 23mna ndikubo, wena ukum, ukuze babe ngabazalisekileyo ntweninye; ukuze liqonde ihlabathi ukuba wena undithumile, wabathanda, njengokuba wandithandayo nam.
24Bawo, ndithanda ukuba nabo abo undiniké bona, babe nam, apho ndikhona mna; ukuze balubone uzuko lwam owandinika lona; ngokuba wandithanda kwaphambi kokusekwa kwehlabathi. 25Bawo olilungisa, ihlabathi lona alikwazanga, ke mna ndikwazile; naba bathe bazi ukuba wena undithumile; 26ndabazísa igama lakho, ndandiya kubazísa; ukuze uthando ondithande ngalo lube kubo, nam ndibe kubo.
