Bible Reading Plan – Day 353

₃₂*AbaFarasi babeva abantu bethetha ngasese ngoYesu, baza bona nababingeleli abaziintloko bathuma abagadi bendlu kaThixo ukuba bambambe. ₃₃Waza uYesu wathi: “Ndisaza kuba nani ithutyana, ndize ndimke, ndiye kulowo undithumileyo. ₃₄Niya kundifuna ke, ningandifumani, kuba nina aninako ukuya apho ndiya khona.” ₃₅Aza amaJuda abuzana esithi: “Ngaba bethu uza kuya phi, ze ke singabi nako ukumfumana? Ngaba uzimisele ukuya kumaJuda athe saa kwelamaGrike, aze afundise amaGrike? ₃₆Ngaba uthetha ukuthini xa athi: ‘Niya kundifuna ningandifumani, kuba nina aninako ukuya apho ndiya khona’?”

₃₇Ngosuku lokugqibela, olo ke lulolona lubalulekileyo lwetheko, wema uYesu, wathetha ngelivakalayo esithi: “Onxaniweyo makeze kum asele. ₃₈*IziBhalo zithi kuya kugqabhuka imisinga yamanzi aphilisayo embilinini walowo ukholwayo kum.”

₃₉UYesu wayithetha le nto esingisele kuMoya ababeya kumamkela abo babekholwa kuye. Kaloku uMoya wayengekafiki, kuba ubungangamsha bukaYesu babungekabonakali.

₄₀Bakumva uYesu esitsho, abantu abathile esihlweleni bathi: “Ngenene lo mntu nguye lowa *Mshumayeli.”

₄₁Abanye bathi: “Lo mntu *nguKrestu.”

Kodwa bambi bathi: “Angathini uKrestu ukuvela eGalili? ₄₂*IziBhalo zithi uKrestu woba ngowendlu kaDavide, azalelwe eBhetelehem, idolophu awayehlala kuyo uDavide.” ₄₃Kwabakho impikiswano ke esihlweleni ngenxa yakhe. ₄₄Abanye babefuna ukumbamba, kodwa akubangakho bani umchukumisayo.

₄₅Abagadi *bendlu kaThixo babuyela kubabingeleli abaziintloko *nabaFarasi, baza bona bathi kubo: “Kutheni ningezanga naye nje?”

₄₆Baphendula abagadi abo bathi: “Akukho namnye umntu owakha wathetha njengalo.”

₄₇Baza bathi abaFarasi: “Ngaba unilahlekisile na nani? ₄₈Kwiinkokheli zethu nakubaFarasi ngaba kukho mntu wakha wakholwa kuye? ₄₉Baqalekisiwe abantu abangawaziyo *umthetho kaMosis.”

₅₀KubaFarasi abo kwakukho noNikodimo lowo wayekhe wadlana iindlebe noYesu, waza ke yena wathi kubo: ₅₁“Umthetho wethu awuvumi okokuba umntu agwetywe lingathanga laxoxwa ityala lakhe, kwacaca oko akwenzileyo.”

₅₂Baza bathi kuye: “Ngaba nawe lo ungowaseGalili na? Khawuphengulule *iziBhalo ubone, kuba akukho *mshumayeli uvela eGalili.”

[ ₅₃Baza bagoduka ke bonke.]

[ ₁UYesu yena waya eNtabeni yemiNquma. ₂Lakuphuma ilanga ngosuku olulandelayo, wabuyela *endlwini kaThixo. Isihlwele samngqonga, waza wahlala phantsi, wabafundisa abantu. ₃Abachazi-mthetho *nabaFarasi beza nomfazi owayebanjwe ekrexeza, bammisa phambi kwabantu; ₄baza bathi kuYesu: “Mfundisi, lo mfazi ubanjwe ekrexeza. ₅Emthethweni wethu uMosis uthi umfazi onjalo makagityiselwe ngamatye abulawe. Ke wena ngaba uthi makathiweni?” ₆Besitsho nje, babemthiyisela, befuna athethe into abanokummangalela ngayo. Kodwa uYesu wathoba, wabhala ngomnwe emhlabeni.

₇Besamile njalo bembuza, waphakama, wathi kubo: “Ongenasono kuni makube nguye ogibisela ilitye lokuqala.” ₈Waphinda wathoba uYesu, wabhala emhlabeni. ₉Bekuvile oko, bemka bonke ngabanye ngabanye, baqalela kwabadala. Kwasala uYesu nomfazi lowo, esemi apho. ₁₀Waphakama uYesu, wathi kuye: “Baphi na abamangaleli bakho? Akukho namnye na oshiyekileyo?”

₁₁Waphendula wathi: “Namnye, Nkosi.”

Wathi uYesu: “Nam ke andikugwebi. Hamba, ungàbuye wone.”]

₁₂UYesu waphinda wabhekisa ebantwini wathi: “Ndim ukhanyiso lwehlabathi. Lowo undilandelayo soze ahambe ebumnyameni; woba nokhanyiselo olunika ubomi.”

₁₃Baza *abaFarasi bathi kuye: “Wena uzingqinela ngokwakho. Ngenxa yoko ubungqina bakho abamkeleki.”

₁₄Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo: “Nangona indim ozingqinelayo, buyinyaniso ubungqina bam, kuba ndiyazi apho ndivela khona nalapho ndiya khona; nina aniyazi imvelaphi yam; nalapho ndiya khona anazi. ₁₅Nina nigweba ngokwabantu. Mna akukho namnye endimgwebayo. ₁₆Kodwa ke, ukuba ndithe ndagweba, isigwebo sam sithembekile; kuba andindedwa, ndikunye noBawo ondithumileyo. ₁₇Nasemthethweni wenu kubhalwe kwathiwa ubungqina bamagqina amabini banele. ₁₈Mna ndizingqinela ngokwam, abe kwanoBawo owandithumayo endingqinela.”

₁₉Baza bathi kuye: “Uphi loo Yihlo?”

Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Kwankqu mna lo anindazi, noBawo ningamazi. Ukuba ke benindazi mna, noBawo ngenimazi.”

₂₀Konke oku kwathethwa nguYesu efundisa *endlwini kaThixo, ekwigumbi leminikelo; kodwa akubangakho namnye umbambayo, kuba lalingekafiki ixesha.

₂₁Waphinda uYesu wathi kubo: “Ndiyemka mna; ke nina niya kundifuna; yaye niya kufela ezonweni zenu. Apho ndiya khona mna, aninakuya nina.”

₂₂Ke ngoko athi amaJuda: “Ngaba bethu úza kuzibulala, esithi nje apho aya khona thina asinakuya?”

₂₃Waza wathi kuwo: “Nina ningabalapha phantsi; mna ndivela phezulu. Nina ningabeli hlabathi; mna andinguye oweli hlabathi. ₂₄Kungoko nditshoyo ukuthi niya kufela ezonweni zenu. Ukuba anithanga nakholwa okokuba ndinguye endinguye, niya kufela ezonweni zenu.”

₂₅Ambuza ke esithi: “Ungubani wena?”

Wathi kuwo uYesu: “Ndingulowo ndandithe ndinguye kwasekuqalekeni. ₂₆Ndinezinto ezininzi endingázithethayo ngani, ndinigwebe nokunigweba ngenxa yazo. Kaloku lowo undithumileyo uyinyaniso; ke mna ihlabathi ndilixelele kuphela oko ndikuvileyo ngaye.”

₂₇AmaJuda akazange aqonde okokuba uYesu uthetha nawo ngoYise, ₂₈waza wathi kuwo uYesu: “Xa nithe namphakamisa *uNyana woLuntu, noqonda ke ukuba ndinguye endinguye. Noqonda ke okokuba mna andenzi nto ngagunya lam, koko ndithetha kuphela oko ndikufundiswe nguBawo. ₂₉Lowo undithumileyo unam; akandishiyanga ndodwa, kuba ndisoloko ndisenza oko kukholekileyo kuye.”

₃₀Bakumva ethetha ezi zinto, abantu abaninzi ithemba labo balibeka kuYesu.

₃₁Ke ngoko uYesu wathi kumaJuda abeke ithemba kuye: “Ukuba nithe nazingisa ukuhlala nisenza oko ndinifundisileyo, niya kuba ngabafundi bam benene. ₃₂Niya kuyiqonda ke inyaniso; yaye inyaniso iya kunenza nikhululeke.”

₃₃Aphendula amaJuda athi kuye: “Thina siyinzala ka-Abraham; zange sibe ngamakhoboka nanini na. Uthetha ukuthini ke xa uthi siya kukhululeka?”

₃₄Wawaphendula uYesu wathi: “Ndithi kuni, inene, bonke abenza isono bangamakhoboka esono. ₃₅Ikhoboka alinalungelo lisisigxina emzini; onelungelo elinjalo emzini ngunyana. ₃₆Ukuba ke uNyana uthe wanenza nakhululeka, noba ngabakhululekileyo mpela. ₃₇Ndiyazi ukuba niyinzala ka-Abraham. Nakuba kunjalo nizimisele ukundibulala, kuba alingeni kuni ilizwi lam. ₃₈Mna ndithetha endikubonileyo kowam uBawo; ke nina nenza enikuvileyo kowenu uyihlo.”

₃₉Amphendula athi: “Ubawo nguAbraham.”

Wathi kuwo uYesu: “Ukuba beningabo abantwana baka-Abraham, ngenimfuza ngezenzo. ₄₀Kanti naku nina nifuna ukundibulala, mna mntu unixelela inyaniso endiyive kuThixo. UAbraham akazange enze nto injalo. ₄₁Nina nenza okwenziwa nguyihlo.”

Aza athi kuye: “Thina asiyomigqakhwe. Owethu uBawo mnye; nguThixo.”

₄₂Wathi kuwo uYesu: “Ukuba uThixo ebenguyihlo ngenene, ngenindithanda; kuba ndilapha nje, ndivela kuThixo. Kaloku andizizelanga ngagunya lam; ndithunywe nguye. ₄₃Kutheni ningayiqondi nje intetho yam? Kungenxa yokuba ningakwazi ukulibamba ilizwi lam. ₄₄Nina ningaboyihlo umtyholi, kwaye nithanda ukwenza intando yakhe. Yena wayesisibulala-mntu kwasekuqalekeni. Nenyaniso akayihoyanga, kuba akananyani. Usekhaya xa athetha ubuxoki, kuba yena ulixoki, usobuxoki kanye. ₄₅Kodwa mna ndinixelela inyaniso; kungoko ningakholwayo kum. ₄₆Akukho namnye kuni ungandibeka tyala, athi ndonile. Ndithetha inyaniso nje, ngani ukuba ningakholwa? ₄₇OngokaThixo uyaweva amazwi kaThixo. Ke ngoko nina aniweva amazwi kaThixo, kuba aningabo abakaThixo.”

₄₈AmaJuda amphendula uYesu, athi kuye: “Asinyanisanga na ke xa sithi ungumSamariya, yaye unendimoni?”

₄₉Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Andinandimoni mna. Ndihlonela uBawo, kodwa nina anindihloneli. ₅₀Mna andizifuneli wonga; ukho ondifunelayo; yena uyandilamlela. ₅₁Ndithi kuni, inene, ukuba umntu uthe wawagcina amazwi am, soze afe naphakade.”

₅₂Aza athi kuye amaJuda: “Hayi ke, kucacile ngoku ukuba unendimoni. UAbraham wafa, *nabashumayeli bafa, ube usithi wena, ukuba umntu uthe wagcina amazwi akho, soze afe naphakade. ₅₃Ngaba wena umkhulu na kunobawo uAbraham, yena wafayo? Kwangokunjalo nabo abashumayeli àbasekho. Uzenza bani kakade wena?”

₅₄Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Ukuba bendiziwonga ngokwam, elo wonga ngelingento yanto; kodwa ke nguBawo ondiwongayo, lowo kanye nina nithi nguThixo wenu. ₅₅Nangona nitshoyo, anizange namazi; kodwa mna ndiyamazi. Ukuba mna bendinokuthi andimazi, bendiya kuba ndilixoki njengani. Kodwa ndiyamazi, ndaye ndiyawagcina amazwi akhe. ₅₆Uyihlo uAbraham wagcoba, kuba wayeza kubona le mihla yobukho bam; wayibona ke, wavuya.”

₅₇Aza amaJuda athi kuye: “Ungekabi naminyaka imashumi mahlanu nje, ungathini ukuba sewumbonile uAbraham?”

₅₈Wathi kubo uYesu: “Ndithi kuni, inene, engekabikho uAbraham, besendikho kade mna.”

₅₉Achola amatye ke amaJuda, ukuze amgibisele ngawo uYesu; kodwa yena uYesu wasuka wee shwaka, wemka *endlwini kaThixo.
