UJohane 20

UJesu Ubonakala KuMariya Magadalena

11 Kodwa uMariya wasala emi ngaphandle kwethuna ekhala. Wathi elokhu ekhala wakhothama walunguza ethuneni 12 wabona izingilosi ezimbili zigqoke okumhlophe zihlezi lapho isidumbu sikaJesu sasikade sikhona, enye ngasemakhanda, enye ngasezinyaweni.

13 Zambuza zathi, "Mama, ukhalelani na?"

Wathi, "Bayisusile iNkosi yami, kangazi ukuthi bayibeke ngaphi." 14 Wasephenduka wabona uJesu emi khonapho, kodwa kananzelelanga ukuthi kwakunguJesu.

15 Wathi, "Mama, ukhalelani na? Ufuna ubani na?"

UMariya wayesithi kumbe ngumlimi, wasesithi, "Nkosi, nxa kunguwe omthetheyo, ngitshela ukuthi umbeke ngaphi ukuze ngiyemthatha."

16 UJesu wathi, "Mariya."

Waphendukela kuye wamemeza ngesiHebheru wathi, "Rabhoni!" (okutsho ukuthi "Mfundisi").

17 UJesu wathi, "Ungangibambi, ngoba kangikabuyeli kuBaba. Kodwa hamba kubafowethu ubatshele uthi, ‘Sengibuyela kuBaba njalo uYihlo, kuNkulunkulu wami, uNkulunkulu wenu.’ "

18 UMariya Magadalini waya kubafundi elombiko othi, "ngiyibonile iNkosi!" Njalo wabatshela ukuthi wayekutshilo lokhu kuye.
