Ngokuya NgoJwanisi 17:1-26
17 Ngemva kobana uJesu akhulume lokhu, waqala ezulwini, wathi: “Baba, isikhathi sesifikile. Phazimulisa indodanakho ukwenzela bona nayo ikuphazimulise+
2 njengombana uyinikele amandla phezu kwabo boke abantu+ ukuthi ibanikele ukuphila okungapheliko+ boke labo oyinikele bona.+
3 Labo abazokufumana ukuphila okungapheliko+ kufuze bazi wena,* okunguwe wedwa uZimu weqiniso+ naloyo omthumileko, uJesu Krestu.+
4 Ngikuphazimulisile ephasini,+ ngokuqeda umsebenzi onginikele wona bona ngiwenze.+
5 Nje-ke Baba, ngiphazimulisa eqadi kwakho ngephazimulo egade nginayo eqadi kwakho ngaphambi kobana kube nephasi.+
6 “Ngilibonakalisile* igama lakho ebantwini onginikele bona ephasini.+ Bekungebakho, wabanikela mina begodu balilalele ilizwi lakho.
7 Nje-ke sebayazi bonyana zoke izinto onginikele zona zivela kuwe
8 ngombana ngibanikelile amezwi owanginikela wona,+ bawamukele begodu sebazi kuhle ukuthi ngize njengomjamelakho,+ bayakholwa nokuthi ungithumile.+
9 Ngiyababawela; angibaweli iphasi kodwana ngibawela labo onginikele bona ngombana ngebakho
10 nazo zoke izinto zami ngezakho nezakho ngezami+ begodu ngiphazinyulisiwe hlangana nabo.
11 “Angisekho ephasini kodwana bona basephasini,+ mina ngiza kuwe. Baba oCwengileko, bavikele+ ngebanga legama lakho, onginikele lona, bona babe munye njengombana nathi simunye.+
12 Nangisesenabo, bengihlala ngibavikela+ ngebanga legama lakho, onginikele lona; ngibavikele, akakho namunye wabo olahlekileko+ ngaphandle kwendodana yokutjhatjalaliswa+ bona imitlolo izaliseke.+
13 Kodwana nje ngiza kuwe begodu ngitjho izintwezi ephasini bona ithabo lami lipheleliswe kibo.+
14 Ngibanikele ilizwi lakho kodwana iphasi libahloyile ngombana abasiyingcenye yephasi+ njengombana nami ngingasiyingcenye yephasi.
15 “Angibawi ukuthi ubasuse ephasini kodwana ngibawa ubavikele ngebanga lomumbi.+
16 Abasiyingcenye yephasi+ njengombana nami ngingasiyingcenye yephasi.+
17 Bacwengise ngeqiniso;+ ilizwi lakho liliqiniso.+
18 Njengombana ungithumele ephasini nami ngibathumele ephasini.+
19 Ngiyazicwengisa ngebanga labo bona nabo bacwengiswe ngeqiniso.
20 “Angibaweli laba kwaphela kodwana ngibawela nalabo abazokukholwa kimi ngemva kokuzwa ilizwi labo,
21 khona bazakuba munye boke+ njengombana nawe Baba umunye nami, nami ngimunye nawe+ ukuthi nabo babe munye nathi bona iphasi likholwe ukuthi ungithumile.
22 Ngibanikele iphazimulo onginikele yona bona babe munye njengombana nathi simunye.+
23 Mina ngimunye nabo nawe umunye nami ukuthi bapheleliswe ebunyeni, khona iphasi lizakwazi ukuthi ungithumile nokuthi uyabathanda njengombana nami ungithandile.
24 Baba, ngifuna ukuthi labo onginikele bona babe nami lapha ngikhona+ bonyana babone iphazimulo onginikele yona ngombana ungithande ngaphambi kokuthonyiswa kwephasi.+
25 Baba olungileko, kwamambala iphasi alikakwazi+ kodwana mina ngiyakwazi+ nalaba bayazi ukuthi ungithumile.
26 Ngibazisile igama lakho begodu ngizolenza laziwe+ ukwenzela bona ithando ongithande ngalo libe kibo nokuthi ngimunye nabo.”+
