UJesu Uvula Amehlo Omuntu Owayezelwe Eyimpumputhe
1Kuthe uJesu edlula, wabona indoda eyayiyimpumputhe kwasekuzalweni. 2 Abafundi bakhe bambuza, bathi: “Rabi, ngubani owonayo; yilo noma ngabazali bakhe, ukuze azalwe eyimpumputhe na?”
3 UJesu waphendula, wathi: “Akonanga yena noma abazali bakhe, kodwa ukuze kubonakaliswe imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu kuye. 4 Kufanele senze imisebenzi yongithumileyo kusesemini; buyeza ubusuku lapho kungekho ongasebenza khona. 5 Ngisekhona ezweni, ngingukukhanya kwezwe.”
6 Esekushilo lokho wafela amathe emhlabathini, wenza ngawo udaka, wayeseninda amehlo ayo ngalo, 7 wathi kuyo: “Hamba uyogeza echibini laseSilowama,” igama elihunyushwa kuthiwe, oThunyiweyo. Yahamba-ke, yageza, yabuya isibona.
8Ngakho-ke omakhelwane nalabo ababeyibone phambilini inqiba, babuzana bodwa, bathi: “Le ndoda akusiyo yini ebihlala inqiba na?”
9Abanye bathi: “Yiyona,” abanye bathi: “Qha, kodwa ifana nayo.”
Indoda yathi: “Yimina.”
10Base bethi kuyo: “Pho amehlo akho avulwe kanjani na?”
11Yaphendula yathi: “Umuntu okuthiwa nguJesu wenza udaka, waninda amehlo ami, wayesethi kimi: ‘Hamba uye eSilowama, uyogeza.’ Ngahamba-ke, ngageza, ngase ngiyabona.”
12Bathi kuyo: “Uphi pho na?”
Yathi: “Angazi.”
13Base bemyisa kubaFarisi obekade eyimpumputhe. 14 KwakuyiSabatha mhla uJesu enza udaka, evula amehlo ayo. 15AbaFarisi nabo bambuza futhi ukuthi kwenzeke kanjani ukuba abone. Wathi kubo: “Uninde amehlo ami ngodaka, ngageza, ngase ngiyabona.”
16 Ngakho-ke abanye kubaFarisi bathi: “Lo muntu akaveli kuNkulunkulu, ngokuba akawuhloniphi umthetho wesabatha.”
Abanye bathi: “Umuntu oyisoni angazenza kanjani izibonakaliso ezinje na?”
Kwaba khona ukwehlukana phakathi kwabo.
17 Ngalokho-ke baphinde bathi kobeyimpumputhe: “Wena uthini ngaye, njengoba evule amehlo akho na?”
Yathi: “Ungumphrofethi.”
18Kepha abaJuda abakholwanga ukuthi ubeyimpumputhe nokuthi useyabona, baze babiza abazali balowo osebona. 19Bababuza bathi: “Ngabe lo uyindodana yenu enithi ngayo yazalwa ingaboni na? Pho kukanjani ukuba manje ibone na?”
20Abazali bayo baphendula bathi: “Siyazi ukuthi lo muntu uyindodana yethu nokuthi wazalwa eyimpumputhe. 21Kepha ukuthi usebona kanjani manje nokuthi ngubani ovule amehlo akhe, asazi; buzani yena; usekhulile, uzakuziphendulela yena.”
22 Abazali bayo basho lokho, ngokuba babesaba abaJuda, lokhu abaJuda base bevumelene ngokuthi, uma kukhona ovuma ukuthi unguKhristu, uzakunqunywa esinagogeni. 23Ngakho-ke abazali bayo bathi: “Isikhulile, buzani yona.”
24 Bayibiza ngokwesibili le ndoda ebiyimpumputhe, bathi kuyo: “Mnike uNkulunkulu udumo; thina siyazi ukuthi lo muntu uyisoni.”
25Khona indoda yaphendula, yathi: “Ukuthi uyisoni noma qha, angazi; kunye engikwaziyo, ukuthi bengiyimpumputhe, manje sengiyabona.”
26Ngakho bathi kuyo: “Wenzeni kuwe na? Uwavule kanjani amehlo akho na?”
27Yaphendula, yathi: “Senginitshelile, kodwa anilalelanga. Nifunelani ukuzwa futhi na? Ngabe nani senifuna ukuba ngabafundi bakhe na?”
28Bamthuka, bathi: “Nguwe ongumfundi walowo muntu, kodwa thina singabafundi bakaMose. 29 Siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuMose, kepha asimazi lo muntu ukuthi uvela kuphi.”
30Indoda yaphendula, yathi kubo: “Lokhu kuyamangalisa ukuthi nina anazi ukuthi uvela kuphi, kepha uvule amehlo ami. 31 Siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu akazilaleli izoni, kodwa uma umuntu emesaba uNkulunkulu, enza intando yakhe, uyamlalela lowo. 32Selokhu kwathi nhlo, akukaze kuzwakale ukuthi ukhona owake wavula amehlo omuntu ozelwe eyimpumputhe. 33Uma lo muntu ebengaveli kuNkulunkulu, ubengenakwenza lutho.”
34Baphendula, bathi kuyo: “Wena wazalelwa esonweni ngokupheleleyo, wena usufundisa thina na?”
Base beyikhiphela ngaphandle kwesinagoge.
35UJesu wezwa ukuthi bayikhiphele ngaphandle. Kuthe lapho eyifumana, wathi: “Uyakholwa yini yiNdodana yomuntu na?”
36Yamphendula, yathi: “Ingubani, Nkosi, ukuze nami ngikholwe yiyo na?”
37 UJesu wathi kuyo: “Usuyibonile, yiyona le ekhuluma nawe.”
38Yayisithi: “Nkosi, ngiyakholwa.”
Yakhuleka kuye.
39 UJesu wathi: “Mina ngize lapha emhlabeni ukuzokwahlulela ukuba abangaboniyo babone, kuthi nababonayo babe yizimpumputhe.”
40Abanye babaFarisi ababekhona lapho bakuzwa lokho, base bethi kuye: “Pho nathi siyizimpumputhe yini na?”
41 UJesu wathi kubo: “Uma beniyizimpumputhe, ngabe aninasono. Kepha lokhu nithi: ‘Siyabona;’ isono senu sikinina.”
