UJesu uphophulula umuntu owabelethwa asiphofu
1Kwathi uJesu asakhamba, wabona umuntu owabelethwa asiphofu. 2Abafundi bakhe bambuza bathi: “Mfundisi, ngubani owonileko, mumuntu lo namkha babelethi bakhe ukuze abelethwe asiphofu na?”
3UJesu waphendula wathi: “Akhange kone yena namkha ababelethi. Lokhu kwenzeka khona amandla kaZimu azakubonakala ngaye. 4Ikani kusemini, kufanele sisebenze umsebenzi waloyo ongithumileko. Ubusuku buyeza lapha kungekhe kwasebenza muntu khona. 5Ikani ngisesephasini, ngimkhanyo wephasi.”
6Ngemva kobana atjho lokhu, wakhafulela equlwanini wabhica idaka ngamathe, walininda emehlweni womuntu loyo. 7Wathi kuye: “Khamba uyokuhlamba ngesizibeni seSilowama.” (Ibizweli litjho ukuthi Thunyiwe). Yeke wakhamba wayokuhlamba, wabuya sele abona.
8Abomakhelwana bakhe nabantu abambona nakhombelako ngaphambi kwalokhu, bathi: “Akusuye umuntu lo ogade aphele ahlale phasi akhombele na?”
9Abanye bathi: “Nguye,” kodwana abanye bathi: “Awa, akasuye; uzifanela naye kwaphela.”
Yeke umuntu ngokwakhe wathi: “Nginguye.”
10Bathanda ukwazi bathi: “Kwenzeke njani bona amehlwakho avuleke?”
11Waphendula wathi: “Umuntu okuthiwa nguJesu wabhica idaka, walininda emehlwenami wathi, ‘Khamba uye eSilowama uyokuhlamba khona.’ Yeke ngaya ngahlamba, ngase ngiyabona.”
12Bambuza bathi: “Alo, uphi umuntu loyo na?”
Waphendula wathi: “Angazi.”
AbaFarisi bahlolisisa ukuphophululwa
13Yeke umuntu ogade angaboni loyo, bamusa ebaFarisini. 14Mhlana uJesu enza idaka amphophulula, bekungeSabatha. 15AbaFarisi bambuza godu umuntu loyo bona waphophuluka njani. Wabatjela wathi: “Waninda idaka emehlwenami; ngahlamba ngase ngiyabona.”
16Abanye babaFarisi bathi: “Umuntu loyo akaveli kuZimu ngombana akalilondi iSabatha.”
Kodwana abanye bathi: “Kungenzeka njani isoni senze iimangaliso ezinje na?”
Ngalokho kwaba nokuhlukana phakathi kwabo.
17Ekugcineni bambuza obekaphophele, bathi: “Alo-ke wena uthini ngaye njengombana avule amehlwakho nje?”
Waphendula wathi: “Umphorofidi.”
18AmaJuda akhange akholwe bona bekasiphofu manjesi selabona, kufikela babiza khona ababelethi bomuntu loyo. 19Bababuza bathi: “Yindodana yenu le na? Nithi yabelethwa isiphofu; nje-ke kwenzeke njani bonyana kwanjesi ibone na?”
20Ababelethi bakhe baphendula bathi: “Siyazi bona yindodana yethu, besiyazi bona yabelethwa isiphofu. 21Kodwana bonyana kuze bunjani ikghone ukubona nokobana iphophululwe ngubani, thina asazi. Ibuzeni, ikhulile ingakghona ukuziphendulela!” 22Ababelethi bayo batjho lokhu ngombana gade besaba amaJuda, ngebanga lokobana amaJuda besele enze isiqunto bona nanyana ngubani ovuma bona uJesu unguKrestu uzakurijwa ngesinagogini. 23Kungebangelo ababelethi bayo bathi: “Ikhulile, buzani yona.”
24Kwesibili godu bambiza umuntu owabelethwa asiphofu, bathi kuye: “Funga phambi koZimu bona uzakhuluma iqiniso! Siyazi thina bona umuntu lo sisoni.”
25Waphendula wathi: “Ukuthi sisoni namkha akasiso, lokho angikwazi. Kunye engikwaziko kukobana bengisiphofu, manjesi sengiyabona.”
26Bambuza bathi: “Ukwenzeni na? Ukuphophulule njani na?”
27Waphendula wathi: “Senginitjelile, kodwana anifuni ukuzwa. Yini enifuna ukukuzwa godu na? Nani nifuna ukuba bafundi bakhe na?”
28Bamtemeleja ngamagama bathi: “Nguwe omfundi womrhali loyo! Thina sibafundi bakaMosi! 29Siyazi bona uZimu wakhuluma noMosi, kodwana nakumrhali loyo, asazi bona uvelaphi!”
30Umuntu loyo waphendula wathi: “Lokho kuyinto erarako! Abe anazi bona uvelaphi, nanyana kunjalo mina ungiphophulule! 31Siyazi bona uZimu akazilaleli izoni kodwana ulalela loyo omlotjhako enze intando yakhe. 32Kwakade azange khekuzwakale bona kukhona owakhe waphophulula obelethwe asiphofu. 33Nakube umuntu lo bekangaveli kuZimu, bengekhe enza ilitho.”
34Bamphendula bathi: “Wena watlujuzwa ngesonweni usabelethwa; alo, ungalinga ukufundisa thina na?” Bamribha ngesinagogini.
Ubuphofu ngokommoya
35UJesu wezwa bonyana umuntu loyo urijiwe, nje-ke kwathi nakamfumanako wathi: “Uyakholwa eNdodaneni yoMuntu na?”
36Umuntu loyo wathi: “Nomzana, ingubani yona na? Ngitjele khona ngizakukholwa kiyo!”
37UJesu wathi kuye: “Sele uyibonile, begodu ngiyo okhuluma nayo njenganje.”
38Wathi: “Ngiyakholwa, Kosi!” Waguqa phambi koJesu.
39UJesu wathi: “Ngize ephasinapha ukuzokugweba kobana iimphofu zibone, kuthi labo ababonakho baphophale.”
40Abanye abaFarisi egade banaye lapho nabamuzwa atjho lokhu, bambuza bathi:
“Uthini? Utjho bona nathi siphophele na?”
41UJesu waphendula wathi: “Nakube beniziimphofu, beningekhe nibe nomlandu wesono; kodwana njengombana nithi niyabona, umlandu wenu uhlezi.”
