Yohani 12:15-40

¹⁵“Kotu kutira gwe lushi lwa Sayuni, Mfalumi gwaku kamkwiza, Kalivaga pampindi pa mwana punda.”

¹⁶Shipindi ashi wafundwa wakuwi wavimaniti ndiri shitwatira ashi shoseri, kumbiti Yesu pawamkwiswiti kala, womberi wagaholiti Malembu Mananagala gatakuliti kuusu yomberi na wagatenditi aga kwa yomberi.

¹⁷Lipinga lya wantu walii wawaweriti pamuhera nayomberi shipindi pakamshemiti Lazaru kulawa mlipumba, kamzyusiya kulawa kwawahowiti, watakuliti yagalawiriti.

¹⁸Toziya ya aga, lipinga likulu lya wantu awa wamgenderiti Yesu, mana woseri wapikiniriti handa Yesu katenditi liuzauza ali.

¹⁹Mafalisayu waligambiziyana, “Mwona? Hapeni tuwezi kutenda shoseri! Mlori, wantu wa pasipanu woseri wankumfata.”

²⁰Kuweriti na Wagiriki wamu mu wantu yawaweriti wiza Yerusalemu kumkwisa Mlungu mushipindi sha msambu.

²¹Womberi wamgenderiti Filipu, yakalawiriti Betisayida mu Galilaya na watakula, “Mtuwa, tufira kumwona Yesu.”

²²Filipu kagenda na kamgambira Andereya na wawili wagenda na kumgambira Yesu.

²³Yesu kawawankula, Saa isoka kala kwa Mwana gwa Muntu kukwiswa!

²⁴Nukugambirani nakaka, mbunji ya nganu isigala mbunji hera payiyalwa ndiri mulitapaka na kuwola. Handa payiwola, su ilera mbeyu zivuwa.

²⁵Woseri yawafira ukomu wawu hawawuhoviyi, yakagahoviya makaliru gakuwi pasipanu, hakagaponiziyi kwa makaliru ga mashaka goseri.

²⁶Yakafira kuntendera ndo mpaka kanfati, pawera neni na ntumintumi gwangu hakaweri, kayi muntu pakantendera Tati hakampanani ligoya.

²⁷“Vinu rohu yaneni intama, ntakuli shishi? Ntakuli, ‘Tati, gunopoziyi shipindi ashi pashisoka?’ Kumbiti ayi ndo toziya ya kwiza. Su shimpiti shipindi ashi sha ntabiku.

²⁸Tati, Kakwiswi litawu lyakuwi.” Panu liziwu litakula kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu. “Nulikwisa na hanulikwisi kayi.”

²⁹Lipinga lya wantu lyaligolokiti palii lipikaniriti liziwu ali na wamu wawu watakuliti, “Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kankuyowera nayomberi!”

³⁰Kumbiti Yesu kawagambira, “Liziwu ali lirandula ndiri kwajili yaneni, ira kwajili ya mwenga.

³¹Vinu ndo shipindi sha pasipanu kutozwa, vinu mtuwa gwa pasipanu hawamwusiyi.

³²Neni panu panyasulwa kumpindi kwa Mlungu hanumkwezeniziyi kila muntu.”

³³Kakutakula hangu kalanguziya ntambu gaa hakahowi.

³⁴Lipinga ali limwankula. Twenga watugambira Malagaliru getu handa Kristu hakalikali mashaka goseri. Su, guweza hashi kutakula eti mwana gwa Muntu imbidi kanyasulwi? Mwana gwa Muntu ndo gaa?

³⁵Yesu kawagambira, “Gulangala haguweri pakati penu katepu hera. Mgendi toziya mnawu gulangala agu, ntiti hapeni iwapati, toziya yakagendagenda muntiti kavimana ndiri kwakagenda.

³⁶Shipindi shamuwera na gulangala agu, mugujimiri, su mpati kuwera wantu wa gulangala.” Pakalongiti kala visoweru avi, Yesu kagenditi zakuwi na kulififa kutali na womberi.

³⁷Tembera Yesu katenditi mauzauza goseri aga palongolu pawu, womberi wamjimira ndiri.

³⁸Su visoweru vyakatakuliti Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu vitimiya. “Mtuwa, gaa yakajimiriti ujumbi watutakuliti? Na uwezu wa Mtuwa ulilanguziya kwa gaa?”

³⁹Na hangu womberi waweza ndiri kujimira, toziya Isaya katakula viraa,

⁴⁰“Mlungu kagatula lwisi masu gawu Na kagazezetiya mahala gawu, Wawoni ndiri kwa masu gawu, Wavimani ndiri kwa mahala gawu, Na wanizira ndiri neni, Mlungu katakula, Su mpati kuwaponiziya.”
