UYohane 9 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

9 ¹Uthe uYesu edlula, wabona indoda eyayiyimfama kwasekuzalweni kwayo. ²Abafundi bakhe bambuza bathi: “Rabhi, ngubani owonayo, lo mntu okanye abazali bakhe, ukuze azalwe eyimfama?”

³Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Akonanga lo mntu nabazali bakhe; kodwa oku kwenzeke ukuze imisebenzi kaBawo wethu ityhileke kuye. ^a a v3 UYesu uyala ukubuthatha ubumfama bale ndoda njengesohlwayo sesono. Endaweni yoko ukhomba kuBawo wethu, omsebenzi wakhe wokuhlangula uya kubonakaliswa kanye kuloo ndawo ihlabathi labona kuyo ukusilela kuphela. ⁴Simele siyenze imisebenzi yalowo wandithumayo lisekho imini; buyeza ubusuku, xa kungekho namnye unokusebenza. ⁵Lo gama ndisemhlabeni, ndilukhanyiso lwehlabathi.”

⁶Akuba etshilo, watshicela emhlabeni, wenza udaka ngamathe, waluthambisa emehlweni aloo ndoda.

⁷Wathi kuye: “Hamba uye kuhlamba echibini laseSilowam” (okuthetha ukuthi Othunyiweyo). Ngako oko loo mntu wahamba, wahlamba, wabuya esebona.

⁸Abamelwane nabo babemqatshele engqiba ngaphambili bathi: “Lo asinguye na lowa wayedla ngokuhlala engqiba?” ⁹Abanye bathi: “Nguye lowo.” Abanye bathi: “Hayi, ufana naye nje.” Yena wayesithi: “Ndim lowo.”

¹⁰Ngoko bambuza bathi: “Avulwe njani ke amehlo akho?”

¹¹Waphendula wathi: “Indoda ekuthiwa nguYesu yenze udaka, yaluthambisa emehlweni am, yathi kum: ‘Yiya eSilowam uhlambe.’ Ngoko ndahamba, ndahlamba, ndaza ndabona.”

¹²Bathi kuye: “Uphi yena?” Wathi: “Andazi.”

¹³Bayisa kubaFarisi loo ndoda yayiyimfama. ¹⁴Yayiyimini yesabatha mhla uYesu wenza udaka, wawavula amehlo akhe. ¹⁵Ngoko nabaFarisi bambuza kwakhona ukuba wabona njani. Wathi kubo: “Ubeke udaka emehlweni am, ndahlamba, yaye ndiyabona.”

¹⁶Abanye babaFarisi bathi: “Le ndoda ayiveli kuThixo—ayiyigcini isabatha.” Abanye bathi: “Angathini umntu ongumoni ukwenza imiqondiso enjalo?” Ngoko kwabakho ukwahlukana phakathi kwabo.

¹⁷Babuza kwakhona kuyo imfama bathi: “Wena uthini ngaye, ekubeni ewavule amehlo akho?” Wathi: “Ungumprofeti.”

¹⁸AmaYuda akakholwa ukuba wayeyimfama waza wabona, ade abiza abazali bendoda eyayifumene ukubona. ¹⁹Ababuza athi: “Ngunyana wenu na lo nithi wazalwa eyimfama? Kutheni ke ngoku ebona?”

²⁰Baphendula abazali bakhe bathi: “Siyazi ukuba lo ngunyana wethu nokuba wazalwa eyimfama. ²¹Kodwa ukuba ubona njani ngoku, asazi; nokuba ngubani owavula amehlo akhe, asazi. Mbuzeni—ukhulile; uya kuzithethela.” ²²Abazali bakhe batsho oku, besoyika amaYuda, kuba amaYuda ayesele evumelene ukuba ukuba kukho umntu ovuma uYesu njengoKrestu, wayeya kugxothwa esinagogeni. ^b b v22 Ukugxothwa esinagogeni kwakuthetha ukukhutshwa ngokupheleleyo ebudlelaneni nasenkonzweni yoluntu lwamaYuda. ²³Kungeso sizathu abazali bakhe bathi: “Ukhulile; mbuzeni.”

²⁴Ngoko bayibiza kwakhona loo ndoda yayikade iyimfama, bathi: “Nika uThixo uzuko. Siyazi ukuba le ndoda ingumoni.”

²⁵Waphendula wathi: “Nokuba ungumoni, andazi. Into endiyaziyo yinye: bendiyimfama, ngoku ndiyabona.”

²⁶Bathi kuye: “Wenze ntoni kuwe? Uwavule njani amehlo akho?”

²⁷Wabaphendula wathi: “Sendinixelele, anaphulaphula. Yini na ukuba nifune ukukuva kwakhona? Ngaba nani nifuna ukuba ngabafundi bakhe?”

²⁸Baza bamthuka, bathi: “Wena ungumfundi wakhe, kodwa thina singabafundi bakaMoses. ²⁹Thina siyazi ukuba uThixo wathetha noMoses, kodwa asazi ukuba le ndoda ivela phi.”

³⁰Yaphendula loo ndoda yathi kubo: “Nantsi into emangalisayo: anazi apho avela khona, kodwa ewavule amehlo am. ³¹Siyazi ukuba uThixo akabaphulaphuli aboni, kodwa ukuba umntu uyamhlonela uThixo yaye enza ukuthanda kwakhe, uThixo uyamphulaphula. ³²Ukususela ekuqalekeni kwehlabathi akuzange kuviwe ngomntu owavula amehlo omntu owazalwa eyimfama. ³³Ukuba le ndoda ibingaveli kuThixo, ibingenakwenza nto.”

³⁴Bamphendula bathi: “Wena wazalwa usezonweni ngokupheleleyo, kanti usifundisa?” baza bamkhuphela ngaphandle.

Uyakholwa Na?

³⁵UYesu weva ukuba bamkhuphele ngaphandle, waza akumfumana wathi: “Uyakholwa na kuNyana woLuntu?”

³⁶Waphendula wathi: “Ngubani ke yena, mnumzana, ukuze ndikholwe kuye?”

³⁷Wathi kuye uYesu: “Umbonile, yaye nguye lo uthetha nawe.”

³⁸Wathi: “Nkosi, ndiyakholwa,” waza wamnqula.

³⁹Wathi uYesu: “Ndize kweli hlabathi ngenxa yomgwebo, ukuze abo bangaboniyo babone, baze abo babonayo babe ziimfama.”

⁴⁰Abanye babaFarisi ababenaye beva oku bathi: “Ngaba nathi siziimfama na?”

⁴¹Wathi kubo uYesu: “Ukuba beniziimfama, beningayi kuba nasono; kodwa ekubeni nisithi, ‘Siyabona,’ isono senu sihlala sikho.”
