Jesu ngumvini longuwo sibili
1“Mine ngingumvini longuwo sibili. Babe ungumlimi. 2 Onkhe emagala lakimi langatseli titselo uyawajuba. Onkhe emagala latsela titselo uyawatsena, kuze atewutsela kakhulu. 3 Nine-ke senigezekile ngalelivi lesengilikhulume kini. 4 Hlalani kimi nami kini. Njengobe ligala lingeke likwati kutsela titselo ngekwalo, kuphela nalihleti esicwini, kanjalo-ke nani kuphela nanihlala kimi.
5 “Mine ngingumvini, nine ningemagala. Lowo lohlala kimi nami kuye, uyawutsela titselo letinyenti, ngobe kute leningakwenta ngaphandle kwami. 6 Umuntfu longahlali kimi, uyawulahlwa ngephandle njengeligala, abune, ome, kufike bantfu batfote lamagala bayekuwabasa emlilweni, lapho afike ashe khona. 7 Nanihlala kimi nemavi ami ahlala kini, niyawucela lenikutsandzako, nikuphiwe. 8 Ludvumo lwaBabe lubonakaliswa ngaloko kutsi nitsele titselo letinyenti, nibe bafundzi bami. 9Njengaloku Babe angitsandzile, nami nginitsandzile. Hlalani elutsandvweni lwami. 10 Nanigcina imiyalo yami, niyawuhlala elutsandvweni lwami, njengobe nami ngigcina imiyalo yaBabe, ngihlala elutsandvweni lwakhe.
11 “Senginitjele konkhe loku, kuze kutsi kujabula kwami kuhlale kini, nekutsi kujabula kwenu kupheleliswe. 12 Nankhu umyalo wami: ‘Tsandzanani, ngengobe nami nginitsandzile.’ 13 Kute umuntfu lonelutsandvo lolukhulu kunalolu kwekutsi adzele kuphila kwakhe ngenca yetihlobo takhe. 14 Nine nitihlobo tami, nanenta loku lenginiyale ngako. 15Kusukela manje angisete nganibita ngekutsi nitisebenti, ngobe phela sisebenti asati kutsi umphatsi waso wentani. Esikhundleni saloko nginibita ngekutsi nitihlobo tami, ngobe senginitjele konkhe lengikuve kuBabe. 16 Akusini lenangikhetsa, kodvwa ngimi lenganikhetsa nganitfuma kutsi nihambe nitsele titselo letinyenti, leto titselo time futsi, kuze kutsi nobe yini leniyakuyicela kuBabe egameni lami aniphe yona. 17Ngaloko ngiyaniyala ngitsi: ‘Tsandzanani!’ ”
Kutondvwa ngumhlaba
18 “Nangabe live liyanitondza, nibokhumbula kutsi lacala latondza mine. 19 Kube benibelive, live belitanitsandza. Kodvwa anisibo belive, ngobe nganikhetsa eveni. Ngako-ke live liyanitondza. 20 Khumbulani livi lenganitjela lona kutsi: ‘Kute sisebenti lesikhulu kunemcashi waso.’ Nangabe mine bangihlupha, nani futsi bayawunihlupha; nangabe bawagcina emavi ami, newenu bayakuwagcina. 21 Kodvwa konkhe loku bayawukwenta ngobe nilivuma ligama lami, ngobe futsi bangamati nalona longitfumile. 22 Ngobe bebangeke babe nelicala lekona, kube angikefiki ngakhuluma kubo. Kodvwa nyalo sebate taba ngetono tabo. 23 Umuntfu lotondza mine, utondza naBabe. 24 Kube bengingakenti imisebenti lemikhulu lengazange seyentiwe ngumuntfu emkhatsini wabo, ngabe bate licala lesono, kodvwa manje sebangibonile base batondza naBabe. 25 Kodvwa noko, loko bekufanele kwenteke, kuze kutewugcwaliseka loko lokwabhalwa emtsetfweni wabo kwekutsi: ‘Bangitondza ngaphandle kwesizatfu.’
26 “Kodvwa nasefikile uMcondzisi, Moya weliciniso, lengiyawumtfumela kini avela kuBabe, yena uyawufakaza ngami; 27 nani futsi nibofakazi bami, ngobe benisolo ninami kusukela ekucaleni.
