UJohane 1
1 Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, njalo uLizwi wayeloNkulunkulu, njalo uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu.
Hula ahwande hwa hali izu lyali pamo no Ngolobhe, izu ali yo Ngolobhe.
2 Yena lo wayeloNkulunkulu ekuqaleni.
Eli, Ezu, Nalya handaga lyali pamo no Ngolobhe.
3 Zonke izinto zenziwa ngaye, njalo ngaphandle kwakhe kakulalutho lolulodwa olwenziwayo lolo olwenziweyo.
Evintu vyonti vyabhombeshe ashilile omwene, asibhe omweje na hamo ata hantu hamo hahabhombeshe.
4 Impilo yayikuye, njalo impilo yayiyikukhanya kwabantu,
Muhati yakwe mwali no womi, na wope owomi wali lukhozyo lwa bhantu bhonti.
5 lokukhanya kukhanya emnyameni, kodwa ubumnyama kabukwemukelanga.
Olukhozyo lwakholaga munkisi, enkisi yapotilwe aluzimye.
6 Kwavela umuntu ethunywe nguNkulunkulu, obizo lakhe linguJohane;
Pahali omuntu watumwilwe afume hwa Ngolobhe, ola itawa lyakwe ali yo Yohana.
7 yena lo wezela ubufakazi, ukuze afakaze ngokukhanya, ukuze bonke bakholwe ngaye.
Ahanzele nanshi keeti ahakikisye ahusu olukhozyo, aje bhonti nkabhapate ahweteshele ashilile hwamwene.
8 Yena wayengayisikho ukukhanya, kodwa ukuze afakaze ngokukhanya.
O Yohana sagali lukhozyo, ila ahenzele nkahakikisye ahusu lula olukozyo.
9 Kwakuyikukhanya okuqotho, okukhanyisa wonke umuntu oza emhlabeni.
Esho alilukhozyo lwelyoli lula lwalwahenzaga munsi lyope lwapanga shila muntu.
10 Wayekhona emhlabeni, njalo umhlaba wenziwa ngaye, kodwa umhlaba kawumazanga.
munsi, na ensi yabhombwelwe ashilile omwahale, na ensi seyamenye.
11 Weza kokwakhe, kodwa abakhe kabamemukelanga.
Ahaenzele hwabhantu bhakwe, na awantu wakwe na abhantu wakwe sebhaposheye.
12 Kodwa bonke abamemukelayo, wabapha amandla okuthi babe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, labo abakholwa ebizweni lakhe;
Ila hwabhala abhinji bhabhaposheye, bhabhahetesheye itawa lyakwe, nebho abhapiye elyoli eyaje bhana bha Ngolobhe,
13 abazalwa kungeyisikho ngegazi, langentando yenyama, langentando yendoda, kodwa nguNkulunkulu.
Bhabhapepwe, se hwidanda, wala hulusongwo lwe bele, sio olusongwo lwa muntu, ila lwa Ngolobhe yoyo.
14 ULizwi wasesiba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu, njalo sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo injengeyozelwe yedwa kaYise, egcwele umusa leqiniso.
Lyope izu lyabhoshe lwebele na lyakhala muhati yeetu, tiulolile oumwamu wakwe, oumwamu nashi wa muntu mwene wahenzele afume hwa Daada, amemile uwene ne lyoli.
15 UJohane wafakaza ngaye, wamemeza wathi: Nguye lo ebengisitsho ngaye ukuthi: Lowo ozayo emva kwami uphambi kwami; ngoba wayekhona kuqala kulami.
O Yohana ahakikizye ahusu omwene, na afumizye izu ayanje, “Ono yayola wanayanjile enongwa zyakwe najile, “Ola wayenza pamande yane yo gosi ashile ane, afuatanaje ahali kabla yaline.”
16 Lekugcwaleni kwakhe thina semukele sonke, futhi umusa ngomusa;
Afuatanaje ashilile oluu golosu lwake, ate tenti tiposheye wene eshipawa baadaye shipawa.
17 ngoba umlayo wanikwa ngoMozisi, umusa leqiniso kweza ngoJesu Kristu.
Afuatanaje endajizo zyaliletilwe ashilile oMusa. Ewene ne lyoli vyahenzele ashilile oYesu Kilisti.
18 Kakho owake wabona uNkulunkulu; iNdodana ezelwe yodwa, esesifubeni sikaYise, yiyo emvezileyo.
Nomo omuntu walolile Ongolobhe omuda gwagwonti. Omuntu mwene ambayo yo Ngolobhe, walipashifubha sha Daada, abhombile aje omwene amanyishe.
19 Njalo lobu yibufakazi bukaJohane, mhla amaJuda ethuma abapristi lamaLevi bevela eJerusalema ukuze bambuze ukuthi: Wena ungubani?
Na olu luhakikisyo lwa Yohana lula adimi na lawi bhabhatumwilwe hwa mwene na Yahudi ahubhozye, “Aje awe wenanu?”
20 Wasevuma, kaphikanga; futhi wavuma wathi: Kangisuye uKristu mina.
Bila asyoshe syoshe saga akhene, aje “Anesene Kilisiti.”
21 Bambuza futhi bathi: Kuyini pho? Wena unguElija yini? Wasesithi: Kangisuye. Wena ungulowomProfethi yini? Wasephendula wathi: Hatshi.
Esho bhabhaozyezye, “eshi awe we nanu esalezi?” We Eliya? Ajile, “Ane see yayoyo.” Wajile we kuwaa? Ajile,” Hagha.”
22 Basebesithi kuye: Ungubani? Ukuze sibaphe impendulo abasithumileyo; uthini ngawe?
Antele bhabhozya, “Wee nanu, aje nkati bhapele ijibu bhabhatitumile”? Uhwihakikisya bhole wewe humwene?”
23 Wathi: Mina ngiyilizwi lomemezayo enkangala: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, njengoba uIsaya umprofethi watsho.
Waga, “Ane ne lizu lyakwe walila mwipoli: 'Golosyaji idala lya Ngolobhe,' na okuwa oIsaya shayanjile.”
24 Lalabo ababethunyiwe babevela kubaFarisi.
Eshi bhahali abhantu bhatumwile na Mafalisayo. Bhabhozyezya aje,
25 Basebembuza, bathi kuye: Ubhabhathizelani pho, uba wena ungeyisuye uKristu, loElija, lalowomProfethi?
“Yenu ohwozya eshi nkashewe Kilisiti wala see we Eliya okuwaa?”
26 UJohane wabaphendula, wathi: Mina ngibhabhathiza ngamanzi; kodwa phakathi kwenu kumi, lina elingamaziyo;
O Yohana abhabhozyezye ajile, “Embozya hu menze. Ata sheshi mhati yenyu ahwemelela omuntu wa semumenye amwe.
27 nguye ozayo emva kwami, ophambi kwami, engingafanele mina ukuthukulula umchilo wenyathela lakhe.
Onu ndiyo wanzahwenze pamande yaline. Ane sihwanziwa alegezye ekamba zye vilato.”
28 Lezizinto zenzeka eBethabara ngaphetsheya kweJordani, lapho uJohane ayebhabhathiza khona.
Enongwa ezi zyabhombeshe ohwo hu Bethania, hwisyela lye Yordani, esehemu ambayo oYohana alihwozya.
29 Kusisa uJohane wabona uJesu esiza kuye, wathi: Khangelani iWundlu likaNkulunkulu, elisusa isono somhlaba.
Isiku lyalyafwatile oYohana alolile uYesu ahwenza hwa mwene ajile, “Enya mwanangole wa Ngolobhe wahwega embibhi zya munsi!
30 Nguye lo mina ebengilitshela ngaye ukuthi: Emva kwami kuza indoda, eyayikhona phambi kwami, ngoba yayikhona kuqala kulami.
ono yayola wana yanjile enongwa zyakwe najile, “Omwene wayenza hwi akhosi yane yo gosi ashile ane, afwatanaje ali hwitazi lyaline.'
31 Lami bengingamazi; kodwa ukuze abonakaliswe kuIsrayeli, ngalokho mina ngizile ngibhabhathiza ngamanzi.
Senamenye omwene, ila shabhombeshe esho aje nkobheneshe mu Israeli, aje nahenzele nabhozyaga na menze.”
32 UJohane wasefakaza, esithi: Ngibonile uMoya esehla ezulwini njengejuba, wahlala phezu kwakhe.
O Yohana ahakikisizye, “Aje nalolile Ompepo ahwiha afume amwanya ofwana ngwe njebha, yasageye pamwanya yakwe.
33 Lami bengingamazi; kodwa owangithumayo ukubhabhathiza ngamanzi, yena wathi kimi: Lowo ozabona uMoya esehlela phezu kwakhe ahlale kuye, nguye obhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Ane senamenye ila omwene wantumile aje enozyaje na menze ambozyezye, 'ola wobhalole empempo ehwiha na khale pamwanya yakwe, Oyo waibhozya hwo Mpepo Ofinjile.'
34 Mina ngibonile, ngafakaza ukuthi lo uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Endolile na ehakikisizye aje ono Mwana wa Ngolobhe.”
35 Kusisa futhi uJohane wayemi, lababili kubafundi bakhe;
Nantele isiku lyalyafuatile oYohana ali ayemeleye pandwemo na bhanafunzi bhakwe bhabhele,
36 wasekhangela uJesu ehambahamba, wathi: Khangelani iWundlu likaNkulunkulu.
bhalolile oYesu ajenda no Yohana ajile, “Enyaji, Omwana ngole wa Ngolobhe!”
37 Abafundi ababili bamuzwa ekhuluma, basebemlandela uJesu.
bhabhele bhamwonvwezye oYohana nayanga ega bhafuatile oYesu.
38 Kwathi uJesu enyemukula ebabona belandela, wathi kubo: Lidingani? Basebesithi kuye: Rabi, (okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, Mfundisi) uhlala ngaphi?
Nantele oYesu agalushe na bhalole abhanafunzi bhala bhahulondolela, nabhabhozye, “Mhwanza yenu?” Bhajile, “Labi, (emaana yakwe 'mwalimu,' ukhala hwii?”
39 Wathi kubo: Wozani libone. Beza babona lapho ayehlala khona; bahlala laye ngalolosuku; kwakungaba lihola letshumi.
Wabhabhozya, “Enzaji mulole.”Nantele bhabhalile alole pale pakhalaga; bhakheye pamo nawo isiku elyo, afwatanaje yali efishile saa kumi eshi.
40 UAndreya umfowabo kaSimoni Petro wayengomunye wababili ababekuzwe ngoJohane bamlandela.
Omomo wa bhala bhabhele bhabhamwonvwezye oYohana nayanga nantele bhafwatile oYesu ali yo Andeleya, oholo wakwe oSimoni Petulo.
41 Yena wathola kuqala umfowabo uqobo uSimoni, wathi kuye: Simtholile uMesiya, okuphendulelwa ngokuthi, uKristu.
Alolile oholo wakwe oSimoni omwana nahubhozye, “Tipete Omasihi” (maana yakwe Kilisiti).
42 Wasemletha kuJesu. UJesu esemkhangele wathi: Wena unguSimoni indodana kaJona; uzathiwa nguKefasi, okuphendulelwa ngokuthi uPetro.
Bhaleta hwa Yesu. O Yesu amwezi na ajile, “Awe we Simoni omwana wa Yohana” obhakwiziwe Kefa,” (maana yakwe 'Petulo').
43 Kusisa uJesu wayefuna ukusuka aye eGalili, wathola uFiliphu, wathi kuye: Ngilandela.
Isiku lyalyafuatile oYesu lwahanzaga asogole abhale huGalilaya, amwajile oFilipo na hubhozye, “Nfwate ane.”
44 UFiliphu-ke wayengoweBhethisayida, emzini wakibo kaAndreya loPetro.
O Filipo ali khaya wa hu Bethsaida, ekhaya ya Andrea no Petulo.
45 UFiliphu wathola uNathaniyeli, wathi kuye: Simtholile lowo abhala ngaye uMozisi emlayweni labaprofethi, uJesu weNazaretha, indodana kaJosefa.
O Filipo amwajile o Nathanaeli na hubhozye aje timwajile ola oMusa wa handishe enongwa zyakwe mu ndajizyo na Kuwaa. O Yesu omwana wa Yusufu, afume hu Nazareti.
46 UNathaniyeli wasesithi kuye: Kambe kungavela okuhle eNazaretha? UFiliphu wathi kuye: Woza ubone.
O Nathanaeli abhozyezye, “Aje ahantu ahinza hawezizye afumile hu Nazareti?” O Filipo abhozezye, Aje enzaga olole.”
47 UJesu wabona uNathaniyeli esiza kuye, wathi ngaye: Khangelani umIsrayeli uqobo, okungekho nkohliso kuye.
U Yesu walola oNathanaeli ahwenza hwa mwene wayanga, “Waga oyenye Omwisraeli welyoli lyoli wasaga ali nilenka muhati yakwe!”
48 UNathaniyeli wathi kuye: Ungazela ngaphi? UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: UFiliphu engakakubizi, ungaphansi komkhiwa, ngakubona.
O Nathanaeli wabhozya, “Amenyebhole ane?” O Yesu wabhozya, “Salisele oFilipo ahukwizye nawahali pansi yikwi.”
49 UNathaniyeli waphendula wathi kuye: Rabi, wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wena uyiNkosi kaIsrayeli.
O Nathanaeli wayanga, “Waga Mwalimu awe oli Mwana wa Ngolobhe! Awe oli mwene we Wisraeli”!
50 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Uyakholwa ngoba ngithe kuwe, bengikubona ungaphansi komkhiwa. Uzabona izinto ezinkulu kulalezi.
O Yesu wayanag wabhozya, “Aje afuatanaje nabhozezye 'nalilolile pansi yikwi aje ohweteshele obhalole embombo engosi ashile ezi.”
51 Wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Kusukela khathesi lizabona izulu livulekile, lengilosi zikaNkulunkulu zisenyuka zisehla phezu kweNdodana yomuntu.
O Yesu wabhabhozya aje eteshile etesheli embabho lya mubhazilole emwonya zihwiguha, mubhabhalole ahalozelu wazubha na hwishe amwanya hwa Mwana wa Adamu.”
