UJohane 12
1 Kwathi kuselensuku eziyisithupha lingakafiki iphasika, uJesu wafika eBethani, lapho okwakuloLazaro khona owayefile, ayemvuse kwabafileyo.
Aka nna nsia na Twam Afahyɛ no aduru no, Yesu kɔɔ Betania, kuro a na Lasaro a Yesu nyanee no firi awufoɔ mu no te mu no mu.
2 Basebemenzela ukudla kwantambama lapho, loMarta wayesebenza; njalo uLazaro wayengomunye walabo ababehlezi ekudleni laye.
Wɔtoo Yesu ɛpono. Marta na ɔsomee wɔ saa apontoɔ yi ase. Lasaro tenaa Yesu nkyɛn pɛɛ wɔ ɛpono no ho.
3 UMariya wasethatha iphawundi yamagcobo awenadi uqobo adulayo, wagcoba inyawo zikaJesu, wesula inyawo zakhe ngenwele zakhe; lendlu yagcwala iphunga lamagcobo.
Wɔredidi no, Maria faa ngohwam bi a ne boɔ yɛ den bɛhwie guu Yesu nan ase de ne tirinwi pepaeɛ. Ngo no hwa gyee efie hɔ nyinaa.
4 Ngakho omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni, owayezamnikela, wathi:
Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ no mu baako a akyire no ɔbɛyi Yesu ama no ani annye deɛ ɔbaa yi yɛeɛ no ho,
5 Kungani amafutha la engathengiswanga ngabodenariyo abangamakhulu amathathu, kwasekunikwa abayanga?
enti ɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wantɔn saa ngohwam yi na yɛamfa sika no amma ahiafoɔ?”
6 Wakutsho-ke lokhu, kungeyisikho ukuthi ekhathalele abayanga, kodwa ngoba wayelisela, wayelesikhwama, ethwala okwakufakwa phakathi kwaso.
Ɛnyɛ sɛ na ɔdwene ahiafoɔ ho enti na ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, na mmom, na ɔyɛ ɔkorɔmfoɔ na ɛsiane sɛ na ɔhwɛ asuafoɔ no sika so enti, na ɔwiawia bi.
7 UJesu wasesithi: Myekeleni; uwalondolozele usuku lokungcwatshwa kwami.
Yesu kaa sɛ, “Monnyaa ɔbaa yi haw! Deɛ ɔbaa yi ayɛ yi, ɔde resiesie me ama me wuo.
8 Ngoba abayanga lihlala lilabo, kodwa mina kalihlali lilami.
Mo ne ahiafoɔ na ɛwɔ hɔ ɛberɛ biara, na me deɛ, me ne mo rentena hɔ daa.”
9 Ngakho ixuku elikhulu lamaJuda lakwazi ukuthi ulapho; laselisiza kungesikuthi ngenxa kaJesu kuphela, kodwa lokuthi babone loLazaro, ayemvuse kwabafileyo.
Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ no tee sɛ Yesu wɔ Betania no, wɔn mu pii kɔɔ hɔ. Ɛnyɛ Yesu nko enti na wɔkɔɔ hɔ, na mmom, wɔkɔɔ hɔ sɛ wɔrekɔhwɛ Lasaro a Yesu nyanee no firii awufoɔ mu no nso.
10 Abapristi abakhulu basebesenza icebo lokuthi babulale loLazaro;
Afei, asɔfoɔ mpanin no bɔɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum Lasaro nso,
11 ngoba ngenxa yakhe amaJuda amanengi asuka, akholwa kuJesu.
ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsiane Lasaro wusɔreɛ no enti, na nnipa bebree retwe wɔn ho afiri Yudafoɔ mpanin no ho abɛdi Yesu akyi.
12 Kusisa ixuku elikhulu elalizile emkhosini, lezwa ukuthi uJesu uyeza eJerusalema,
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nnipadɔm a wɔaba Twam Afahyɛ no tee sɛ Yesu reba Yerusalem no,
13 bathatha ingatsha zezihlahla zelala, baphuma ukuyamhlangabeza, bamemeza besithi: Hosana! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi, iNkosi kaIsrayeli.
wɔbubuu ɛberɛ de kɔhyiaa no ɛkwan de ahurisie teateaam sɛ, “Hosiana!” “Nhyira nka deɛ ɔreba wɔ Awurade din mu no!” “Nhyira nka Israelhene!”
14 UJesu wasefica ithole likababhemi, wahlala phezu kwalo, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi:
Yesu rekɔ no, na ɔte afunumu ba bi so sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm hyɛɛ ho nkɔm sɛ,
15 Ungesabi, ndodakazi yeSiyoni; khangela, inkosi yakho iyeza, ihlezi phezu kwethole likababhemi.
“Nsuro, Ɔbabaa Sion! Hwɛ sɛ wo ɔhene te afunumu ba so reba wo nkyɛn.”
16 Kodwa abafundi bakhe kabaqedisisanga lezizinto ekuqaleni; kodwa uJesu esedunyisiwe, basebekhumbula ukuthi lezizinto zazilotshiwe ngaye, lokuthi babezenzile lezizinto kuye.
Ahyɛaseɛ no, asuafoɔ no ante yeinom nyinaa ase kɔsii sɛ wɔhyɛɛ Yesu animuonyam no ansa na wɔrekae sɛ, Atwerɛsɛm no aka saa asɛm yi nyinaa afa ne ho dada, na ɛno ara ne deɛ wɔayɛ no.
17 Ngakho ixuku elalilaye lapho ebiza uLazaro ukuthi aphume engcwabeni, emvusa kwabafileyo, lafakaza.
Nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ a wɔhunu sɛ Yesu nyanee Lasaro firii awufoɔ mu no kaa asɛm a ɛsii no kyerɛɛ afoforɔ.
18 Ngenxa yalokhu ixuku laphuma futhi ukuyamhlangabeza, ngoba lezwa ukuthi wenze lesisibonakaliso.
Yei enti na nnipa bebree kɔeɛ sɛ wɔrekɔhyia Yesu ɛkwan no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔate sɛ wayɛ anwanwadeɛ.
19 Ngakho abaFarisi bakhulumisana besithi: Liyabona ukuthi kalisizi lutho; khangelani umhlaba uyamlandela.
Farisifoɔ no hunuu deɛ ɛrekɔ so no, wɔkaa sɛ, “Anyɛ yie! Monhwɛ sɛ nnipa no nyinaa atu adi nʼakyi!”
20 Kwakukhona amaGriki phakathi kwalabo ababenyukelele ukukhonza emkhosini;
Afahyɛberɛ no mu no, Helafoɔ bi nso kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekɔsom.
21 wona-ke eza kuFiliphu oweBhethisayida yeGalili, basebemcela besithi: Nkosi, sithanda ukubona uJesu.
Wɔkɔɔ Filipo a ɔfiri Betsaida no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhunu Yesu.”
22 UFiliphu weza watshela uAndreya; uAndreya loFiliphu basebetshela uJesu futhi.
Filipo kɔbɔɔ Andrea amaneɛ maa wɔn baanu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu.
23 UJesu wasebaphendula esithi: Ihola selifikile lokuthi iNdodana yomuntu idunyiswe.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛberɛ no aso sɛ wɔbɛhyɛ Onipa Ba no animuonyam.
24 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi uhlamvu lwebele luwele emhlabathini lufe, lona luhlala lulodwa; kodwa aluba lusifa, luthela isithelo sande.
Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ wɔamfa burofua anhyɛ fam amma amporɔ na amfifiri a, ɛda so yɛ burofua no ara, nanso sɛ ɛporɔ na ɛfifiri a, ɛso aba pii.
25 Yena othanda impilo yakhe uyalahlekelwa yiyo; lozonda impilo yakhe kulumhlaba uzayilondoloza kuze kube yimpilo engulaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
Obiara a ɔdɔ ne kra no bɛhwere ne nkwa, na deɛ ɔnnɔ ne kra no ɔbɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios g166)
26 Uba umuntu engisebenzela, kangilandele; lalapho engikhona mina, lenceku yami izakuba khona. Futhi uba umuntu engisebenzela, uBaba uzamhlonipha.
Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsom me no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi mʼakyi, na baabiara a mewɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ mʼasomfoɔ nso wɔ hɔ bi.”
27 Khathesi umphefumulo wami ukhathazekile; sengizathini? Baba, ngisindise kulelihola. Kodwa ngenxa yalokhu ngifikile kulelihola.
Yesu kaa sɛ, “Afei deɛ, me kra ho yera no na asɛm bɛn na menka? Menka sɛ, ‘Agya, gye me firi saa amanehunu yi mu anaa?’ Nanso, yei enti na wosomaa me baa ewiase sɛ memmɛhunu amane.
28 Baba, dumisa ibizo lakho. Kwasekusiza ilizwi livela ezulwini lisithi: Sengilidumisile, ngizaphinda ngilidumise.
Agya, hyɛ wo din animuonyam!” Ɔkasa wieeɛ no, nne bi firi ɔsoro kaa sɛ, “Mahyɛ no animuonyam dada na mɛsane mahyɛ no bio.”
29 Ngakho ixuku elalimi khona lisizwa lathi kube lomdumo. Abanye bathi: Ingilosi ikhulume laye.
Nnipakuo a na wɔwɔ hɔ no tee nne no, wɔkaa sɛ aprannaa na ɛrebobɔ mu. Ebinom nso kaa sɛ, ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ no.
30 UJesu waphendula wathi: Lelilizwi kalizanga ngenxa yami, kodwa ngenxa yenu.
Nanso, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo enti na saa nne yi kasaeɛ na ɛnyɛ me enti.
31 Khathesi kulesigwebo salumhlaba; khathesi umbusi walumhlaba uzaxotshelwa phandle.
Afei, ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wɔbu ewiase atɛn na wɔtu ɔbonsam a ɔdi ewiase so no gu.
32 Mina-ke nxa ngiphakanyiswa emhlabeni, ngizadonsela bonke kimi.
Sɛ wɔnya ma me so firi asase mu a, mɛtwe nnipa nyinaa aba me nkyɛn.”
33 Watsho-ke lokhu etshengisa uhlobo lokufa ayezakufa ngalo.
Ɔkaa yei de kyerɛɛ owuo ko a ɔbɛwu no.
34 Ixuku lamphendula lathi: Thina sezwa emlayweni ukuthi uKristu uhlala phakade; njalo ungatsho njani ukuthi: INdodana yomuntu imele ukuphakanyiswa? Ingubani le iNdodana yomuntu? (aiōn g165)
Nnipa no kaa sɛ, “Atwerɛsɛm no di adanseɛ sɛ, Agyenkwa no renwu da. Adɛn enti na wɔka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma Onipa Ba no so? Hwan ne saa Onipa Ba no?” (aiōn g165)
35 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kuseyisikhatshana ukukhanya lilakho. Hambani liselokukhanya, hlezi umnyama ulehlule; njalo ohamba emnyameni kazi lapho aya khona.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Me hann no bɛhyerɛn ama mo mmerɛ tiawa bi mu. Ɛno enti, monnante mu ɛberɛ a mowɔ saa hann no mu yi nkɔ baabiara a mopɛ sɛ mokɔ, ansa na esum aduru; anyɛ saa a morenhunu kwan.
36 Liselokukhanya, kholwani kukho ukukhanya, ukuze libe ngabantwana bokukhanya. UJesu wakhuluma lezizinto, wasuka, wabacatshela.
Ɛberɛ a mowɔ hann mu yi, monnye hann no nni na moayɛ hann no mma.” Yesu kaa nsɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔfirii hɔ de ne ho kɔhintaeɛ.
37 Lanxa wayenze izibonakaliso ezinengi kangaka phambi kwabo, kabakholwanga kuye;
Ɛwom sɛ na Yesu ayɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ ama Yudafoɔ no ahunu deɛ, nanso na wɔnnye no nni ara.
38 ukuze ligcwaliseke ilizwi likaIsaya umprofethi, alikhulumayo elokuthi: Nkosi, ngubani okholwe intshumayelo yethu? Lengalo yeNkosi yembulelwa bani?
Yei ne Odiyifoɔ Yesaia asɛm a ɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade, hwan na wagye yɛn asɛnka adi? Na hwan nso na ɔbɛgye wʼanwanwadwuma no adi sɛ adansedie?”
39 Ngakho babengelakho ukukholwa, ngoba uIsaya wabuya wathi:
Yudafoɔ no annye anni ɛfiri sɛ, na Odiyifoɔ Yesaia asane aka sɛ,
40 Uphumputhekisile amehlo abo, wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yabo; ukuze bangaboni ngamehlo abo, baqedisise ngenhliziyo, baphenduke, besengibasilisa.
“Onyankopɔn afira wɔn ani, na wapirim wɔn akoma, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrentumi nnane mma me nkyɛn na masa wɔn yadeɛ.”
41 UIsaya wakhuluma lezizinto, lapho ebona inkazimulo yakhe, wakhuluma ngaye.
Yesaia kaa yei faa Yesu animuonyam a daakye ɔbɛnya a Onyankopɔn yi kyerɛɛ no no ho.
42 Loba kunjalo-ke labanengi bababusi bakholwa kuye; kodwa ngenxa yabaFarisi kabavumanga, ukuze bangakhutshwa esinagogeni;
Mpo, na Yudafoɔ mpanin no mu pii gye Yesu di, nanso na wɔsuro sɛ, sɛ Farisifoɔ no hunu wɔn a, wɔremma wɔmma asɔredan no mu bio.
43 ngoba bathanda udumo lwabantu kulodumo lukaNkulunkulu.
Na wɔpɛ sɛ nnipa bɛkamfo wɔn sene sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛhyɛ wɔn animuonyam.
44 UJesu wasememeza esithi: Okholwa kimi, kakholwa kimi, kodwa kuye ongithumileyo;
Yesu teaam sɛ, “Obiara a ɔgye me di no, ɛnyɛ me nko na ɔgye me di, na ɔgye deɛ ɔsomaa me no nso di.
45 njalo obona mina, ubona ongithumileyo.
Na deɛ ɔhunu me no hunu deɛ ɔsomaa me no nso.
46 Mina ngizile ngiyikukhanya emhlabeni, ukuze wonke okholwa kimi, angahlali emnyameni.
Maba ewiase sɛ hann, na obiara a ɔgye me di no ankɔ so antena sum mu.
47 Njalo uba ekhona owezwayo amazwi ami angakholwa, mina kangimgwebi; ngoba kangizanga ukuthi ngigwebe umhlaba, kodwa ukuze ngisindise umhlaba.
“Obiara a ɔte mʼasɛm na ɔnni so no, meremmu no atɛn. Ɛfiri sɛ, mamma sɛ merebɛbu nnipa atɛn, na mmom, mebaeɛ sɛ merebɛgye wɔn nkwa.
48 Yena ongalayo engawemukeli amazwi ami, ulaye omgwebayo; ilizwi esengilikhulumile, lona lizamgweba ngosuku lokucina.
Obiara a ɔpo me na ɔnnye mʼasɛm nni no, ɔtemmufoɔ bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛbu no atɛn. Me nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no na Atemmuo da no ɛbɛbu mo atɛn.
49 Ngoba mina kangizikhulumelanga ngokwami; kodwa uBaba ongithumileyo, nguye onginike umlayo, wokuthi ngizathini lokuthi ngizakhulumani.
Nsɛm a maka no nyinaa, ɛnyɛ mʼankasa mʼadwene na mede ka kyerɛɛ mo, na mmom ɛyɛ deɛ Agya no ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menka nkyerɛ mo no.
50 Njalo ngiyazi ukuthi umlayo wakhe uyimpilo elaphakade; ngakho izinto mina engizikhulumayo, njengokutsho kukaBaba kimi, ngokunjalo ngiyakhuluma. (aiōnios g166)
Menim sɛ asɛm biara a Agya no ahyɛ me sɛ menka no de nnipa kɔ nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ mu; enti asɛm a ɔbɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menka biara no, ɛno na meka!” (aiōnios g166)
