Yohana 12:15-40

¹⁵“Usitili, binti Sayuni; langayi, Mfalme ghwa jhobhi ihida, akwelili mwana-punda.”

¹⁶Bhanafunzi bha muene bhaghajhelibhu lepi mambo agha hapo hoti; lakini Yesu bho atukusibhu, ndipo bhakhombuiki jha kujha mambo agha alembibhu muene ni kwamba bhabhombili mambo agha kwa muene.

¹⁷Basi likundi lele lya bhanu bhabhajhele pamonga ni Yesu wakati an'kutili Lazaro kuhomela mu likaburi, bhakashuhudila kwa bhangi.

¹⁸Na jhajhele kwa ndabha ejhe kwamba likundi lya bhanu bhalotili kumlaki kwa ndabha bhap'eliki jha kujha ajhibhombili ishara ejhu.

¹⁹Mafarisayo bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Langayi, henu mwibhwesya lepi kubhomba kyokyoha; langayi, ulimwengu ulolili kwa muene.”

²⁰Henu baadhi jha Bhayunani bhajhele miongoni mwa bhala bhabhajhele bhilota kuabudu ku sikukuu.

²¹Abha bhandotili Filipo, ambajhe ahomili Bethsaida jha Galilaya, bhakans'oka bhakajobha, “Bwana, tete twilonda kumbona Yesu.”

²²Filipo akalota akan'jobhela Andrea; Andrea ni Filipo bhakalota ni kun'jobhela Yesu.

²³Yesu akabhajibu akajobha, “Saa jhifikiri kwa ndabha jha Muana ghwa Adamu kutukusibhwa.

²⁴Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela chembe jha ngano jhikabelayi kubina palifu jhikafwa, jhitama mebhwa jhiene; bali jhikafuayi jhihogola matunda mingi.

²⁵Jhaabhuganili uhai bhwa muene ibetakubhujhasya; bali jhaabhudadili uhai bhwa muene pa uloimwengu obho ibetakubhusalimisya hata uzima bhwa milele.

²⁶Munu jhejhioha jhaibetakunitumikila nene, na anikesiajhi; nani pa nijhele ndipo ni n'tumishi ghwangu paibetakujha. Munu jhejhioha jhaibetakunitumikila, Dadi ibetakun'heshi.

²⁷Henu roho jha nene ifadhaiki: nani nijobhabhuli? Dadi, uniokolayi katika lisaa e'le? Lakini kwa kusudi e'le nijhifikili lisaa e'le.

²⁸Dadi, ulitukusiajhi lihina lya jhobhi.” Kisha sauti ikahida kuh'omela kumbinguni ni kujobha, “Nilitukuisi nani nibetakulitukusya kabhele.”

²⁹Basi n'kutano ghwajhemili palubhafu pa muene bhap'eliki, bhakajobha kujha kujhe ni ngurumo. Bhangi bhakajobha, “Malaika ajobhi naku.”

³⁰Yesu akajibu ni kujobha, “Sauti ejhe jhikahidi lepi kwa ndabha jha nene, bali kwandabha jha muenga.

³¹Henu hukumu jha ulimwengu obhu jhijhele: Henu mbaha ghwa ulimwengu obhu isopibhwa kwibhala.

³²Ni nene panibetakujhinulibhwa panani pa nchi, nibetakubhatafuta bhoha kwa nene.”

³³Aghajobhili aghu kulasya kujha mauti gani gha ibetakufwa.

³⁴Mkutano bhukan'jibu, “Tete tup'eliki ku sheria kujha Kristu ibetakutamisya hata milele. Ni bhe ghwijobhuli, 'Mwana ghwa Adamu lazima ajhinulibhwayi kunani'? Ojho Muana ghwa Munu niani?”

³⁵Basi Yesu akabhajobhela, “Nuru jhijhepamonga namu muda kidogo. Mulotayi kwa kujha mujhe ni nuru, ili kwamba ngisi jhisibhabhwesi. Jhailota ku ngisi amanyilepi kwa ilota.

³⁶Mujhe ni nuru mujhiaminiajhi nuru ejhu ili mukabhayi kujha bhana bha nuru.” Yesu ajobhili aghu ni kisha akabhoka akakifigha bhasimboni.

³⁷Ingabhwa Yesu abhombili ishara simehele namna ejhu mbele jha bhene, bado bhabelikumwamini

³⁸ili litimilayi lilobhi lya nabii Isaya, lyaalijobhili: “Bwana, niani jhaasisadiki habari sya tete? Ni kibhoko kya Bwana afunulibhu niani?”

³⁹Ndio sababu bhene bhabeli kun'kiera, ndabha Isaya ajobhi kabhele,

⁴⁰“Abhapofuisi mihu, ni kujhibhomba minonono mioyo jha bhene; bhasihidi bhakalota kwa mihu gha bhene ni kumanya kwa mioyo ghya bhene, ni kuongoka nani kubhaponyesya.”
