Yohana 12:21-36

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.
