“Imi munofanira kuberekwazve”

“Zvino kwaiva nomumwe murume, mumwe wevaFarisi, ainzi Nikodhimo, mutongi wevaJudha. Iyeyu akauya kwaari usiku, akati kwaari: ‘Rabhi, tinoziva kuti imi somudzidzisi makabva kuna Mwari; nokuti hapana angagona kuita zviratidzo izvi zvamunoita kunze kwokunge Mwari ainaye.’ Achipindura, Jesu akati kwaari: ‘Chokwadi, chokwadi ndinoti kwauri, Kana munhu akasaberekwazve, haangaoni umambo hwaMwari.’ Nikodhimo akati kwaari: ‘Munhu angaberekwa sei kana iye akura? Angapinda mudumbu raamai vake kechipiri oberekwa here?’ Jesu akapindura kuti: ‘Chokwadi, chokwadi ndinoti kwauri, Kana munhu akasaberekwa nemvura nomudzimu, haangapindi muumambo hwaMwari. Chakaberekwa nenyama, inyama, uye chakaberekwa nomudzimu, mudzimu. Usashamiswa nokuti ndakuudza kuti, Imi munofanira kuberekwazve. Mhepo inovhuvhutira kwainoda, uye unonzwa kuvhuvhuta kwayo, asi hauzivi kwainobva nokwairi kuenda. Ndizvo zvakaita munhu wose akaberekwa nomudzimu.’ Achipindura, Nikodhimo akati kwaari: ‘Zvinhu izvi zvingaitika sei?’ Achipindura, Jesu akati kwaari: ‘Uri mudzidzisi waIsraeri, asi usingazivi zvinhu izvi here? Chokwadi, chokwadi ndinoti kwauri, Tinotaura zvatinoziva uye tinopupurira zvatakaona, asi imi hamugamuchiri uchapupu hwatinopa. Kana ndakuudzai zvinhu zvepanyika asi musingatendi, muchatenda sei kana ndikakuudzai zvinhu zvokudenga?’”—Johani 3:1-12.
