uYohane 9:1-23

Uthe ke edlula, wabona umntu obe eyimfama kwasekuzalweni kwakhe. Bambuza ke abafundi bakhe, besithi, Rabhi, ngubani na owonayo, ngulo, ngabazali bakhe, sini na, ukuze azalwe eyimfama nje? Waphendula uYesu wathi, Akone lo, akone bazali bakhe; uzelwe eyimfama ukuze ibonakalaliselwe kuye. Ndimelwe kukuyisebenza imisebenzi yowandithumayo, kusesemini; kuza ubusuku, xa kungekho namnye unako ukusebenza. Xa ndisesehlabathini, ndilukhanyiselo lwehlabathi. Akuba etshilo, watshica emhlabeni, wenza udaka ngamathe, wawathambisa ngodongwe amehlo emfama leyo. Wathi kuyo, Hamba uye kuhlamba echibini laseSilowa (oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, Thunyiwe). Yemka ngoko, yaya yahlamba, yeza ibona. Baye ngoko abamelwane, nababembona ngaphambili ukuba uyimfama, besithi, Lo asinguye na obehleli engqiba? Inxenye ibisithi, Nguye lo; abanye ke besithi, Ufana naye; yena ke wayesithi, Ndinguye. Bathi ngoko kuye, Atyhilwe na amehlo akho? Waphendula yena wathi, Umntu ekuthiwa nguYesu wenze udaka, waqaba amehlo am, wathi kum, Yiya echibini leSilowa, uhlambe; ndiyile ke ndahlamba, ndabuya ndibona. Bathi ngoko kuye, Uphi na yena? Wathi, Andazi. Bamzisa kubaFarisi lowo ubefudula eyimfama. Ke kaloku kwakuyisabatha, oko uYesu wenza udaka, wawavula amehlo akhe. Babuya ngoko ke bambuza nabaFarisi, ukuba utheni na ukuba abuye abone. Uthe ke yena kubo, Ubeke udaka emehlweni am, ndaza ndahlamba; Babesithi ngoko abathile bakubaFarisi, Lo mntu asingowakwaThixo, ngokuba isabatha akayigcini. Babesithi abanye, Angathini na umntu ongumoni ukwenza imiqondiso engakanana? Kwabakho iyantlukwano phakathi kwabo. Babuya bathi kwimfama, Uthini na wena ngaye, ewavulile nje amehlo akho? Wathi, Ungumprofeti. Akakholwa ngoko amaYuda ngaye, ukuba ebeyimfama, wabuya wabona, ada abiza abazali balowo ubuye wabona. Ababuza esithi, Lo ngunyana wenu na, enithi nina wazalwa eyimfama? Kutheni na ke ngoku ebona? Abazali bakhe bawaphendula bathi, Siyazi ukuba lo ngunyana wethu, kwanokuba ke wazalwa eyimfama; Le nto ke abonayo ngoku asazi; novule amehlo akhe, asimazi thina; Buzani kuye, woziphendulela. Batsho abazali bakhe, ngokuba babesoyika amaYuda; kuba amaYuda abeselenqophisene ngokuthi, Ukuba uthe umntu wamvuma ukuba unguKristu, aze akhutshwe esikhungwini. Bathi ngoko abazali bakhe, Uselemkhulu; buzani kuye.
