UYohane 13 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

13 ¹Ke kaloku, phambi komthendeleko wePasika, uYesu wayesazi ukuba lifikile ilixa lakhe lokuba emke kweli hlabathi aye kuYise. Ebebathandile abakhe ababekweli hlabathi, wabathanda kwada kwasekupheleni. ²Ngexesha lesidlo sangokuhlwa, umtyholi wayesele ebeke entliziyweni kaYudas, unyana kaSimon Sikariyoti, icebo lokungcatsha uYesu. ³uYesu, esazi ukuba uBawo wayekunikele konke ezandleni zakhe, nokuba wayevele kuye yaye wayebuyela kuye, ⁴wasuka esidlweni, wakhulula iingubo zakhe zangaphezulu, wathabatha itawuli, wayibhinqa esinqeni sakhe. ⁵Waza wagalela amanzi esityeni, waqalisa ukuhlamba iinyawo zabafundi, ewosula ngetawuli abeyibhinqile. ⁶Weza kuSimon Petros, owathi kuye: “Nkosi, ingaba uza kuhlamba iinyawo zam?”

⁷Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye: “Akukuqondi ngoku oku ndikwenzayo, kodwa uya kukuqonda kamva.”

⁸“Akusayi kuze uzihlambe iinyawo zam,” watsho uPetros. Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Ukuba andikuhlambi, akunasabelo nam.”

⁹Wathi uSimon Petros kuye: “Nkosi, kungabi ziinyawo zam kuphela, kodwa nezandla zam nentloko!”

¹⁰Wathi kuye uYesu: “Lowo uhlambileyo akadingi nto ngaphandle kokuhlamba iinyawo zakhe—uhlambuluke ngokupheleleyo. Nina nihlambulukile, kodwa ingengani nonke.”

¹¹Kuba wayesazi ukuba ngubani oza kumngcatsha; kungoko wathi: “Ingengani nonke enihlambulukileyo.”

¹²Akuba ezihlambile iinyawo zabo wambatha iingubo zakhe, waphinda wahlala etafileni, wathi kubo: “Niyakuqonda na oku ndikwenzileyo kuni? ¹³Nindibiza ngokuba nguMfundisi neNkosi, kwaye nenza kakuhle, kuba ndinjalo. ¹⁴Ngoko ke, ukuba mna, iNkosi noMfundisi wenu, ndizihlambile iinyawo zenu, nani nimelwe kukuhlambana iinyawo omnye komnye. ¹⁵Kuba ndininike umzekelo, ukuze nenze njengoko ndenzile kuni. ¹⁶Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, isicaka asingaphezu kwenkosi yaso, nosithunywa akangaphezu kolowo umthumileyo. ¹⁷Ukuba niyazazi ezi zinto, ninoyolo xa nizenza.

Lowo Wabelana Nam Ngesonka

¹⁸“Andithethi ngani nonke—ndiyabazi abo ndibanyulileyo. Kodwa isiBhalo kumele sizaliseke: ‘Lowo udla isonka sam undiphakamisele isithende sakhe.’ ¹⁹Ndinixelela ngoku, kungekehli oku, ukuze nithi, xa sekusihla, nikholwe ukuba NDINGUYE. ^a a v19 U-“NDINGUYE” yindlela uBawo wethu awazazisa ngayo kuMoses etyholweni elivuthayo. Ibango likaYesu kukuzichaza kobuthixo okufanayo—ekuthetha oku ngoku kubafundi njengesipho sokuthemba, phambi kokuba kutyhileke ukungcatshwa. ²⁰Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, lowo wamkela lowo ndimthumileyo wamkela mna, nalowo wamkela mna wamkela lowo wandithumayo.”

²¹Akuba etshilo, uYesu, ekhathazekile emoyeni, wangqina wathi: “Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, omnye kuni uza kundingcatsha.”

²²Abafundi bakhangelana, bethingaza ukuba ngubani na kubo athetha ngaye. ²³Omnye wabafundi bakhe, lowo uYesu ayemthanda, wayengqiyeme ecaleni lakhe. ²⁴Ngoko uSimon Petros wamqhwebela ukuba abuze ukuba uYesu uthetha ngubani. ²⁵Eyame kuYesu, wambuza wathi: “Nkosi, ngubani na?”

²⁶Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Ngulowo ndiza kumnika esi sonka, ndakuba ndisithe nkxu.” Wandula ke wasithi nkxu isonka, wasinika uYudas, unyana kaSimon Sikariyoti. ²⁷Emva kokuba uYudas esithabathile isonka, uSathana wangena kuye. Ngoko uYesu wathi kuye: “Oko ukwenzayo kwenze ngokukhawuleza.”

²⁸Kodwa akubangakho namnye kwabo babehleli etafileni owaqondayo isizathu sokuba atsho oku kuye. ²⁹Ekubeni uYudas wayephethe ingxowa yemali, abanye bacinga ukuba uYesu uthetha ukuthi: ‘Thenga esikudingayo somthendeleko,’ okanye: ‘Yiphe into amahlwempu.’ ³⁰Akubana uYudas esithabathile isonka, waphuma. Yaye kwakusebusuku.

Thandanani

³¹Emva kokuphuma kukaYudas, uYesu wathi: “Ngoku uNyana woLuntu uzukisiwe, noBawo uzukiswe kuye. ³²Ukuba uBawo uzukiswe kuye, naye uBawo uya kumzukisa uNyana ngokwakhe, aze amzukise kwaoko. ³³Bantwana bam abathandekayo, ndiseko nani umzuzwana nje. Niya kundikhangela, yaye njengoko ndatshoyo kubaphathi bamaYuda, nakuni ndiyatsho ngoku: apho ndiya khona, aninako ukuza. ³⁴Ndininika umyalelo omtsha: thandanani. Njengoko ndinithandile, nani nimelwe kukuthandana. ³⁵Ngako oku bonke baya kwazi ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba niyathandana.”

³⁶Wathi uSimon Petros kuye: “Nkosi, uya ngaphi?” Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Apho ndiya khona awunako ukundilandela ngoku, kodwa uya kundilandela kamva.”

³⁷Wabuza uPetros wathi: “Nkosi, kutheni ndingenako ukukulandela ngoku? Ndiya kububeka phantsi ubomi bam ngenxa yakho.”

³⁸Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Uya kububeka phantsi ubomi bakho ngenxa yam? Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe: iqhude alisayi kulila ude undikhanyele kathathu.”
