Johane 16
16
1“Loku-ke nginitjelele kutsi ningalahlekelwa kukholwa kwenu. 2 Bayakunincuma emasinagogeni. Yebo, sikhatsi siyeta, lapho bayawunibulala, bacabange kutsi basebentela Nkulunkulu. 3 Bayawukwenta konkhe loku, ngobe bangamati Babe, nami bangangati. 4 Kodvwa nginitjela loku kuze kutsi, nase kufika sikhatsi sekutsi bakwente, nikhumbule kutsi nganitjela ngako.”
Umsebenti waMoya Longcwele
“Bengisengakanitjeli letintfo ekucaleni, ngobe bengisenani. 5 Manje sengibuyela kulowo lowangitfuma; kodvwa kute lapha emkhatsini wenu longibutako kutsi: ‘Uyaphi?’ 6Kodvwa njengobe senginitjelile nje, tinhlitiyo tenu setilusizi. 7 Kodvwa noko nginitjela liciniso: Kuncono kini kutsi ngihambe, ngobe nangingahambi, angeke ete kini uMeluleki. Kodvwa nangihamba, ngitamtfumela kini. 8Nakefika yena, uyawukhanyisela bantfu balelive kutsi yini sono, nekulunga, nekwehlulela:
9“Sono, kutsi abakakholwa ngimi;
10 kulunga, kutsi mine ngiya kuBabe,
ningeke niphindze ningibone;
11 kwehlulela, kutsi umbusi walelive
sewehlulelwe.
12 “Ngisenalokunyenti lenginganitjela kona. Kodvwa kwanyalo ningeke nikwati kukwetfwala. 13 Kodvwa Moya weliciniso nakefika, uyawuniholela kulo lonkhe liciniso. Angeke atikhulumele kwakhe, kodvwa uyawukhuluma lakuvako, anitjele nangetintfo letisetakwenteka. 14Uyawubonakalisa bukhosi bami, njengobe ayawutsatsa loko lengiyawumtjela kona kutsi anitjele. 15 Konkhe lanako Babe kwami, ngiko nje ngitsi: Moya uyakutsatsa loko lengiyakumnika kona anitjele.”
Lusizi luyawuguculwa lube yinjabulo
16 “Kusetawuba sikhashana nje ningabe nisangibona; kantsi futsi emvakwesikhashana nitawuphindze ningibone.”
17 Labanye kubafundzi bakhe bakhuluma bodvwa batsi: “Kusho kutsini loko? Usho kutsini nakatsi: ‘Kusetawuba sikhashana nje ningabe nisangibona; kantsi futsi emvakwesikhashana nitawuphindze ningibone,’ nalokutsi: ‘Ngobe kwanyalo ngisaya kuBabe’?” 18Babutana batsi: “Usho kutsini nakatsi: ‘Sikhashana’? Asati nje tsine kutsi ukhuluma ngani!”
19Jesu bekati kutsi bafuna kumbuta, ngako-ke watsi kubo: “Senibutana ngaloku lengikushoko yini kwekutsi: ‘Kusetawuba sikhashana nje ningabe nisangibona; kantsi emvakwesikhashana nitawuphindze ningibone futsi’? 20 Ngicinisile, ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Nitawukhala, nilile, kodvwa live litawujabula. Niyawuba nelusizi, noko lusizi lwenu luyawugucuka lube yinjabulo. 21Nangabe umfati asatawubeleka, ubaselusizini, ngobe sikhatsi sebuhlungu sesifikile. Kodvwa nasambelekile umntfwana, ubukhohlwa bonkhe lobo buhlungu, ngobe ujatjuliswa kutalwa kwemntfwana. 22 Kunjalo-ke nakini, kwamanje niselusizini, kodvwa ngitawuphindze nginibone futsi, tinhlitiyo tenu tiyawujabula kakhulu. Kute futsi umuntfu loyakunemuka loko kujabula kwenu.
23 “Ngalelo langa aniyiwubuta lutfo kimi. Ngicinisile, ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Nome ngabe yini leniyicela kuBabe, uyawuninika yona egameni lami. 24 Sekuze ngunyalo anikaceli lutfo egameni lami. Celani nitawuphiwa, kuze kutfokota kwenu kuphelele.”
“Ngilincobile live”
25 “Tonkhe letintfo senginitjele ngemifanekiso. Siyeta sikhatsi lapho ngingaseyiwukhuluma kini ngemifanekiso, kodvwa ngiyawuvele nginitjele ngaBabe ngalokukhanyako. 26Ngalelo langa niyawucela ngelibito lami; angisho nekutsi ngiyawunicelela mine kuBabe. 27 Ngobe phela Babe ngekwakhe uyanitsandza, unitsandza ngobe niyangitsandza; futsi senikholiwe nekutsi ngiphuma kuNkulunkulu. 28Ngaphuma kuBabe ngeta emhlabeni; manje sengiyawushiya futsi lomhlaba, sengibuyela kuBabe.”
29Bafundzi bakhe batsi kuye: “Buka-ke manje, ngukhona ukhuluma kahle, sekuyacaca nje ngaphandle kwekukhuluma ngemifanekiso! 30 Manje sesiyati-ke kutsi wati konkhe; awudzingi kutsi umuntfu akubute imibuzo. Ngako-ke siyakholwa kutsi uphuma kuNkulunkulu.”
31Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Seniyakholwa kambe nyalo? 32 Siyeta sikhatsi, nanyalo sesifikile, lapho nonkhe nitawusakateka, ngulowo nalowo abuyele ekhaya lakhe. Nitangishiya ngedvwa; kodvwa noko angingedvwa, ngobe Babe unami. 33 Senginitjele loku, kuze nitewuba nekuthula kimi. Eveni niyawuhlupheka nibe nelusizi. Kodvwa manini sibindzi, ngobe mine ngilincobile live.”
