[2] Ndipo ku Yerusalemuko pafupi ndi chipata cha Nkhosa kuli dziwe limene mʼChihebri limatchedwa Betisaida ndipo ndi lozunguliridwa ndi makumbi asanu. [3] Mʼmenemo munkagonamo gulu lalikulu la anthu odwala, osaona, olumala ndi ofa ziwalo. [4] Pakuti nthawi zina mngelo wa Ambuye ankatsikira mʼdziwemo nʼkuvundula madziwo. Woyamba kulowamo madzi atavundulidwa, ankachira ngakhale akhale ndi nthenda yanji. [5] Mmodzi wa amene anali pamenepo anali atadwala zaka 38. [6] Yesu atamuona ali chigonere, nadziwa kuti anakhala chotero kwa nthawi yayitali, anamufunsa iye kuti, “Kodi ukufuna kuchira?” [7] Wodwalayo anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, ndilibe wina aliyense woti angandithandize kulowa mʼdziwe pamene madzi avundulidwa. Pamene ndikuyesera kuti ndilowemo, wina amalowamo ine ndisanalowemo.” [8] Ndipo Yesu anati kwa iye, “Imirira! Nyamula mphasa yako yamba kuyenda.” [9] Nthawi yomweyo munthuyo anachiritsidwa. Iye ananyamula mphasa yake nayamba kuyenda. Tsiku limene izi zinachitika linali la Sabata. [10] Ndipo Ayuda anati kwa munthu amene anachiritsidwayo, “Lero ndi la Sabata; lamulo silikulola iwe kunyamula mphasa yako.” [11] Koma iye anayankha kuti, “Munthu amene wandichiritsa anati kwa ine, ‘Nyamula mphasa yako yamba kuyenda.’ ” [12] Pamenepo anamufunsa iye kuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyo ndani amene wakuwuza kuti, ‘Nyamula mphasa yako ndipo yenda?’ ” [13] Munthu amene anachiritsidwayo sanadziwe kuti anali ndani, pakuti Yesu anangolowera mʼgulu la anthu ndi kupita. [14] Patapita nthawi Yesu anamupeza ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anati kwa iye, “Taona uli bwino tsopano. Usakachimwenso kuti choyipa choposa ichi chingakugwere.” [15] Munthu uja anachoka ndi kukawawuza Ayuda kuti anali Yesu amene anamuchiritsa iye. [16] Ndipo popeza Yesu amachita zinthu izi tsiku la Sabata, Ayuda anayamba kumulondalonda. [17] Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Atate anga amagwira ntchito nthawi zonse mpaka lero lino, ndipo Inenso ndili pa ntchito.” [18] Chifukwa cha ichi Ayuda anawirikiza kufuna kumupha; osati chifukwa chakuswa Sabata kokha komanso chifukwa ankanena kuti Mulungu ndi Atate ake, nadziyesa Iye wofanana ndi Mulungu. [19] Yesu anawapatsa yankho ili: “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti Mwana sangathe kuchita kanthu pa Iye yekha. Iye amachita zokhazo zimene amaona Atate ake akuchita, chifukwa chilichonse chimene Atate amachita Mwana amachitanso. [20] Pakuti Atate amakonda Mwana, amamuonetsa zonse zimene Iwo amachita. Inde, Atate adzamuonetsa zinthu zazikulu kuposa zimenezi ndipo mudzadabwa. [21] Pakuti monga Atate amaukitsa akufa nawapatsa moyo, momwemonso Mwana amapereka moyo kwa amene Iye akufuna. [22] Komanso, Atate saweruza aliyense koma wapereka kwa Mwana ulamuliro woweruzawo, [23] kuti aliyense alemekeze Mwanayo monga momwe amalemekezera Atate. Munthu amene salemekeza Mwana salemekezanso Atate amene anamutuma Mwanayo. [24] “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense amene amamva mawu anga ndi kukhulupirira Iye amene ananditumiza Ine, ali ndi moyo wosatha ndipo sadzaweruzidwa. Iye wachoka mu imfa ndipo walowa mʼmoyo. [25] Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti nthawi ikubwera ndipo yafika kale tsopano, pamene akufa adzamva mawu a Mwana wa Mulungu ndipo iwo amene amva adzakhala ndi moyo. [26] Pakuti monga Atate ali gwero la moyo, momwemonso anapereka mphamvu zopereka moyo mwa Mwana. [27] Ndipo wamupatsa Iye ulamuliro woweruza chifukwa ndi Mwana wa Munthu. [28] “Musadabwe ndi zimenezi. Pakuti nthawi ikubwera pamene onse amene ali mʼmanda adzamva mawu ake [29] ndi kutuluka. Iwo amene anachita zabwino adzauka ndi kupita ku moyo wosatha ndipo amene anachita zoyipa adzauka ndi kupita ku chilango chamuyaya. [30] Pakuti sindingathe kuchita kena kalikonse pa ndekha. Ine ndimaweruza molingana ndi zomwe Mulungu wandiwuza ndipo kuweruza kwanga ndi kolungama. Ine sindifuna kudzikondweretsa ndekha koma Iye amene anandituma. [31] “Ngati ndidzichitira umboni ndekha, umboni wanga si woona. [32] Alipo wina amene amandichitira umboni wabwino. Ine ndikudziwa kuti umboni wake wonena za Ine ndi woona. [33] “Inu munatumiza amithenga kwa Yohane ndipo iye anachitira umboni choona. [34] Sikuti Ine ndikudalira umboni wa munthu; koma ndikunena zimenezi kuti mupulumutsidwe. [35] Yohane anali ngati nyale imene imayaka ndi kuwala, ndipo inu kwa kanthawi munasankha kusangalala ndi kuwala kwakeko. [36] “Koma Ine ndili ndi umboni woposa uja wa Yohane. Pakuti ntchito imene Atate andipatsa kuti ndiyikwaniritse ndi imene ndikugwira, ndipo ikundichitira umboni kuti Atate andituma Ine. [37] Ndipo Atate amene anandituma Ine, Iye mwini wandichitira umboni. Inu simunamvepo mawu ake kapena kuona maonekedwe ake, [38] kapena mawu ake kukhala mwa inu, pakuti simukhulupirira Iye amene anamutuma. [39] Inu mumasanthula malemba chifukwa mumaganiza kuti mʼmalembamo muli moyo wosatha. Awa ndi malemba amene akundichitira umboni. [40] Koma inu mukukana kubwera kwa Ine kuti mukhale ndi moyo. [41] “Ine sindilandira ulemu kuchokera kwa anthu [42] koma Ine ndikukudziwani. Ndikudziwa kuti mʼmitima mwanu mulibe chikondi cha Mulungu. [43] Ine ndabwera mʼdzina la Atate anga, ndipo inu simukundirandira Ine; koma wina wake akabwera mʼdzina la iye mwini, inu mudzamulandira. [44] Kodi inu mudzakhulupirira bwanji ngati mumapatsana ulemu wina ndi mnzake, ndipo simufuna kulandira ulemu kuchokera kwa Mulungu yekhayo? [45] “Koma inu musaganize kuti Ine ndidzakunenezani kwa Atate. Wokunenezani ndi Mose, amene inu mwayikapo chiyembekezo chanu. [46] Ngati mukanakhulupirira Mose, mukanakhulupiriranso Ine, pakuti iye analemba za Ine. [47] Koma ngati simukhulupirira zimene iye analemba, mudzakhulupirira bwanji zimene Ine ndikunena?”
