Bible

4Kwathi-ke iNkosi isisazi ukuthi abaFarisi sebezwile ukuthi uJesu wenza wabhabhathiza abafundi abanengi kuloJohanea, 2 lanxa uJesu ngokwakhe wayengabhabhathizi, kodwa abafundi bakheb, 3 wasuka eJudiyac, wasuka waya futhi eGalilid.

4 Kodwa kwakumelee ukuthi adabule eSamariyaf. 5 Wafika-ke emzini weSamariya okuthiwa yiSikarig, eduze lesiqinti uJakobe asinika indodana yakhe uJosefah; 6 lomthombo kaJakobe wawulapho. Ngakho uJesu ekhathele ngohamboi wahlala ngokunjalo emthonjenij. Kwakungaba lihola lesithupha*k. 7 Kwafika owesifazana evela eSamariya ukuzakukha amanzi; uJesu wathi kuye: Nginathisa. 8 (Ngoba abafundi bakhe babehambile baya emzini, ukuze bathenge ukudlal.) 9 Ngakho owesifazana umSamariya wathi kuye: Kungani wena ungumJuda ucela ukunatha kimi, owesifazana ongumSamariya? Ngoba amaJuda awalabudlelwano lamaSamariyam. 10 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Aluba ubusazi isipho sikaNkulunkulu, lokuthi ungubani othi kuwe: Nginathisa; ubuzacela kuye, njalo ubezakunika amanzi aphilayon. 11 Owesifazana wathi kuye: Nkosi, kawulalutho lokukha, lomgodi uyatshona; uwathethe ngaphi pho amanzi aphilayo? 12 Wena umkhulu yini kulobaba wethu uJakobe, owasinika umgodi, wanatha kuwo yena, labantwana bakhe, lemihlambi yakhe? 13 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Wonke onatha lamanzi, uzakoma futhi; 14 kodwa loba ngubani onatha amanzi mina engizamnika wona, kasoze ome kuze kube laphakadeo; kodwa amanzi engizamnika wona azakuba ngumthombo wamanzi phakathi kwakhe ogobhozela empilweni elaphakadep. 15 Owesifazana wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngipha lawomanzi, ukuze ngingomi, ngingabe ngiseza lapha ukukhaq. 16 UJesu wathi kuye: Hamba, ubize umkakho, uze laphar. 17 Owesifazana waphendula wathi: Kangilandoda. UJesu wathi kuye: Utsho kuhle ukuthi: Kangilandoda; 18 ngoba usuke waba lamadoda amahlanu, le olayo khathesi kayisiyo indoda yakho; lokhu ukutsho uqinisile. 19 Owesifazana wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngiyabona ukuthi wena ungumprofethis. 20 Obaba bethu babekhonza kulintabat; kodwa lina lithi iseJerusalema indawo lapho okufanele umuntu akhonze khonau. 21 UJesu wathi kuye: Mama, kholwa kimi, ukuthi ihola liyezav, lapho elizakhonza uBabaw kungeyisikho kulintaba, kumbe eJerusalemax. 22 Lina likhonza elingakwaziyoy; thina sikhonza esikwaziyo; ngoba usindiso luvela kumaJudaz. 23 Kodwa ihola liyeza njalo seliyiloa, lapho abakhonzi abaqotho bazakhonza uBaba ngomoyab langeqinisoc; ngoba-ke uBaba udinga abanjalo abamkhonzayod. 24 UNkulunkulu unguMoyae; lalabo abamkhonzayo, bafanele ukukhonza ngomoyaf langeqinisog. 25 Owesifazana wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uMesiya uyeza okuthiwa nguKristuh; nxa lo esefikilei, uzasitshela konkej. 26 UJesu wathi kuye: Mina nginguye, okhuluma lawek.

27 Kwathi ngalesosikhathi bafika abafundi bakhe, bamangala ukuthi wayekhuluma lowesifazana; kodwa kakho owathi: Udingani? Kumbe: Ukhulumelani laye? 28 Ngakho owesifazana wasetshiya inkonxa yakhe, wasesuka waya emzini, wathi ebantwini: 29 Wozani, libone umuntu, ongitshele konke engakwenzayol; kambe kayisuye yini uKristu lom? 30 Ngakho baphuma emzini, beza kuye.

31 Kusenjalo abafundi bamncenga besithi: Rabi*n, dlanao. 32 Kodwa wathi kubo: Mina ngilokudla engikudlayo lina elingakwaziyo. 33 Basebekhulumisana abafundi besithi: Kambe ukhona omlethele ukudlap? 34 UJesu wathi kubo: Ukudla kwamiq kuyikuthi ngenze intando yongithumileyor, lokuthi ngiqede umsebenzi wakhes. 35 Kalitsho yini ukuthi: Kuseselenyanga ezine ukuthi kufike ukuvuna? Khangelani, ngithi kini: Phakamisani amehlo enut, libone amasimuu, ngoba asehle emhlophe elungele isivunov. 36 Njalo ovunayo wemukela umvuzow, njalo abuthe isithelo empilweni elaphakade; ukuze bobabili ohlanyelayox lovunayo bathokoze bendawonyey. 37 Ngoba kulokhu ilizwi liqinisile elokuthi: Omunye ngohlanyelayo, lomunye ngovunayoz. 38 Mina ngalithuma ukuvunaa lokho elingakusebenzelanga;b abanye basebenzile, lina-ke selingenile emsebenzini waboc.

39 Njalo amaSamariya amanengi akulowomuzi akholwa kuye ngenxa yelizwi lowesifazanad, owafakaza esithi: Ungitshele konke engikwenzileyoe. 40 Kwathi esefikile kuye amaSamariya, amncenga ukuthi ahlale lawof; wasehlala khona insuku ezimbilig. 41 Abanengi bengezelelwa bakholwa ngenxa yelizwi lakhe. 42 Basebesithi kowesifazana: Kasisakholwa ngenxa yokutsho kwakho; ngoba sesizizwele thina, siyazi ukuthi oqotho lo unguMsindisi womhlaba, uKristuh.

43 Kwathi emva kwensuku ezimbili wasuka laphoi, waya eGalilij; 44 ngoba uJesu ngokwakhe wafakaza ukuthi umprofethi kaladumo elizweni lakibok. 45 Wathi esefikile eGalili, amaGalili amemukelal, ebonile konke akwenzayo eJerusalema emkhosinim; ngoba lawo ayeyile emkhosinin.

46 UJesu wafika-ke futhi eKana yeGalilio, lapho enza khona amanzi aba liwayinip. Kwakukhona othile owesikhosini, ondodana yakhe yayigula eKapenawumeq. 47 Esezwile ukuthi uJesu usefikile eGalili evela eJudiyar, waya kuye, wamncenga ukuthi ehle, asilise indodana yakhes, ngoba yayisizaphela. 48 Ngakho uJesu wathi kuye: Ngaphandle kokuthit libone izibonakalisou lezimangalisov, kalisoze likholwe. 49 Owesikhosini wathi kuye: Nkosi, yehlaw engakafi umntanamix. 50 UJesu wathi kuye: Hamba; indodana yakho iyaphila. Umuntu wasekholwa ilizwi uJesu alikhuluma laye, wasuka wahamba. 51 Kwathi esesehlay, inceku zakhe zamhlangabeza, zabika zathi: Umntanakho uyaphila. 52 Wasezibuza ihola aqale ngalo ukuba ngcono. Zasezisithi kuye: Izolo ngehola lesikhombisa uqhuqho lumyekelez. 53 Ngakho uyise wazi ukuthi kwakungalelohola uJesu athi ngalo kuye: Indodana yakho iyaphila; wasekholwa yena lendlu yakhe yonke. 54 UJesu waphinda wakwenza lokhu kwaba yisibonakaliso sesibilia, efikile eGalili evela eJudiyab.
