uYohane 4:27-54 CXB24

Kwathi kwangoko bafika abafundi bakhe, bamangaliswa kukuba athethe nomntu oyinkazana; noko ke akubangakho namnye owathi. Ufuna ntoni na? okanye, Yini na ukuba uthethe nayo? Yawushiya ngoko umphanda wayo intokazi, yemka yaya ekhaya; Yizani, nibone umntu ondixelele izinto zonke endakha ndazenza; lo akangebi nguye uKristu yini na? Baphuma ke ekhaya, baye besiza kuye. Ke kaloku ngelo xesha abafundi babemthandaza, besithi, Rabhi, yidla. Uthe ke yena kubo, Mna ndinokudla endikudlayo, eningakwaziyo nina. Babethetha bodwa ngoko abafundi, besithi, Ingaba kukho omziseleyo na ukudla? Athi uYesu kubo, Okwam ukudla kukuba ndenze ukuthanda kowandithumayo, ndiwufeze umsebenzi wakhe. Anitsho na ukuthi, Kusele iinyanga ezine, kuvunwe? Yabonani, ndithi kuni, Waphakamiseni amehlo enu, niwakhangele amasimi; ngokuba aselemhlophe ukuba kuvunwe. Novunayo wamkela umvuzo, abuthele iziqhamo ebomini obungunaphakade, ukuze nalowo uhlwayelayo avuye, kunye nalowo uvunayo. Kule nto liyinyaniso iqhalo elithi, Omnye uyahlwayela, nomnye avune. Mna ndanithuma ukuvuna oko ningabulalekanga kuko nina; abanye babulalekile, naza nangena nina ekubulalekeni kwabo. Ke kaloku, kwakholwa kuye into eninzi yamaSamariya kuloo mzi, ngenxa yelizwi lentokazi leyo, yangqinayo yathi, Undityele izinto zonke endakha ndazenza. Akufika ngoko kuye amaSamariya, amcela ukuba ahlale nawo; wahlala khona ke imihla emibini. Into eninzi yakholwa ngakumbi ngenxa yelizwi lakhe. Wayesithi kwintokazi leyo, Asisakholwa ngenxa yokuthetha kwakho, kuba sizivele thina ngokwethu, sazi ukuba, inyaniso, lo unguye uMsindisi wehlabathi, uKristu. Ke kaloku, emveni kweentsuku ezimbini, waphuma khona, wemka waya kwelaseGalili. Kuba uYesu ngokwakhe wangqina, ukuba umprofeti akanambeko kowabo. Xenikweni ngoko wafikayo kwelaseGalili, bamamkela abaseGalili ababezibonile zonke izinto awazenzayo eYerusalem emthendelekweni; kuba babeyile nabo emthendelekweni. Wabuya ngoko weza uYesu eKana yelaseGalili, apho amanzi ebewenze iwayini. Kwaye kukho igosa lakomkhulu elithile, elinyana wayesifa eKapernahum. Lithe lakuva lona ukuba uYesu uphumile kwaYuda, wafika eGalili, laya kuye, lamcela ukuba ehle amphilise unyana walo, kuba ebeza kubhubha. Wathi ngoko uYesu kulo, Ukuba anithanga nibone imiqondiso nemimangaliso, anisayi kukha nikholwe. Lithi kuye igosa lakomkhulu, Nkosi, yihla engekabhubhi umntwana wam. Athi uYesu kuyo, Hamba uhambe; unyana wakho uhleli. Wakholwa umntu lowo lilizwi awalithethayo uYesu kuye, wahamba ke. Ke kaloku, akubon’ ukuba usehla, izicaka zakhe zamhlangabeza, zambikela zisithi, Unyana wakho uhleli. Wabuza ngoko kuzo ilixa aqale ukuchacha ngalo; zathi kuye, Izolo, ngelixa lesixhenxe, yamyeka icesina. Wazi ngoko uyise, ukuba bekukwangelo lixa abethe ngalo uYesu kuye, Unyana wakho uhleli; wakholwa, yena nendlu yakhe iphela. Lo mqondiso waphinda wawenza uYesu, ekuphumeni kwakhe kwelakwaYuda, wafika kwelaseGalili.
