Matthew 27
1 When the morning was come, all the chiefe Priests, and the elders of the people tooke counsell against Iesus, to put him to death,
Kwathi sekusile, bonke abapristi abakhulu labadala babantu bacebisana bemelene loJesu ukuthi bambulale;
2 And led him away bounde, and deliuered him vnto Pontius Pilate the gouernour.
sebembophile bamqhuba bamnikela kuPontiyusi Pilatu umbusi.
3 Then when Iudas which betraied him, sawe that hee was condemned, hee repented himselfe, and brought againe the thirtie pieces of siluer to the chiefe Priestes, and Elders,
Kwathi uJudasi owamnikelayo esebonile ukuthi ulahliwe, wazisola wabuyisela inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu kubapristi abakhulu labadala,
4 Saying, I haue sinned, betraying the innocent bloud. But they sayde, What is that to vs? see thou to it.
wathi: Ngonile nginikele igazi elingelacala. Kodwa bona bathi: Kulani lathi? Zibonele wena.
5 And when hee had cast downe the siluer pieces in the Temple, hee departed, and went, and hanged himselfe.
Wasephosela inhlamvu zesiliva ethempelini, wasuka; wayaziphanyeka.
6 And the chiefe Priestes tooke the siluer pieces, and sayde, It is not lawfull for vs to put them into the treasure, because it is the price of bloud.
Abapristi abakhulu basebethatha inhlamvu zesiliva bathi: Kakuvunyelwa ukuzifaka emnikelweni, ngoba ziyintengo yegazi.
7 And they tooke counsell, and bought with them a potters fielde, for the buriall of strangers.
Basebecebisana bathenga ngazo isiqinti sombumbi, sibe ngesokungcwaba abezizwe.
8 Wherefore that field is called, The field of bloud, vntill this day.
Ngakho lesosiqinti sathiwa yisiqinti segazi, kuze kube lamuhla.
9 (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremias the Prophet, saying, And they tooke thirtie siluer pieces, ye price of him that was valued, whom they of ye children of Israel valued.
Kwasekugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uJeremiya, esithi: Basebethatha inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu, intengo yalowo owalinganiswayo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli abamlinganisayo;
10 And they gaue them for the potters fielde, as the Lord appointed me.)
basebebapha zona ngensimu yombumbi, njengoba iNkosi ingilayile.
11 And Iesus stood before ye gouernour, and the gouernour asked him, saying, Art thou that King of the Iewes? Iesus said vnto him, Thou sayest it.
UJesu wasesima phambi kombusi; umbusi wasembuza, wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? UJesu wasesithi: Utshilo wena.
12 And when he was accused of the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, he answered nothing.
Kwathi nxa esemangalelwe ngabapristi abakhulu labadala, kaphendulanga lutho.
13 Then saide Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not howe many things they lay against thee?
UPilatu wasesithi kuye: Kawuzwa yini izinto ezingaka abazifakaza ngawe?
14 But he answered him not to one worde, in so much that the gouernour marueiled greatly.
Kodwa kamphendulanga lakwelilodwa ilizwi, waze wamangala kakhulu umbusi.
15 Nowe at the feast, the gouernour was wont to deliuer vnto the people a prisoner whom they would.
Futhi ngomkhosi umbusi wayejwayele ukukhululela ixuku isibotshwa esisodwa, elisifunayo.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Njalo ngalesosikhathi babelesibotshwa esidumileyo, esithiwa nguBarabasi.
17 When they were then gathered together, Pilate said vnto the, Whether will ye that I let loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus which is called Christ?
Ngakho sebebuthene, uPilatu wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani, uBarabasi, kumbe uJesu othiwa nguKristu?
18 (For he knewe well, that for enuie they had deliuered him.
Ngoba wayekwazi ukuthi bamnikele ngomona.
19 Also when he was set downe vpon the iudgement seate, his wife sent to him, saying, Haue thou nothing to do with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame by reason of him.)
Kwathi esehlezi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, umkakhe wathumela kuye, wathi: Ungabi landaba lalowo olungileyo; ngoba lamuhla ngihluphekile kakhulu ngaye ephutsheni.
20 But the chiefe Priestes and the Elders had persuaded the people that they shoulde aske Barabbas, and should destroy Iesus.
Kodwa abapristi abakhulu labadala bancengana lamaxuku ukuthi acele uBarabasi, ambhubhise uJesu.
21 Then the gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I let loose vnto you? And they said, Barabbas.
Wasephendula umbusi wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani kulaba ababili? Basebesithi: UBarabasi.
22 Pilate said vnto them, What shall I do then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all said to him, Let him be crucified.
UPilatu wathi kubo: Pho ngimenzeni uJesu othiwa nguKristu? Bonke bathi kuye: Kabethelwe.
23 Then saide the gouernour, But what euill hath he done? Then they cryed the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Umbusi wasesithi: Ngoba wenze bubi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu, bathi: Kabethelwe!
24 When Pilate saw that he auailed nothing, but that more tumult was made, he tooke water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this iust man: looke you to it.
Kwathi uPilatu esebonile ukuthi kakusizi lutho, kodwa ukuthi kwasekuqala kulalokhu ukuba lesiphithiphithi, wathatha amanzi, wageza izandla phambi kwexuku, wathi: Angilacala ngegazi lalumuntu olungileyo; ziboneleni lina.
25 Then answered all the people, and saide, His bloud be on vs, and on our children.
Bonke abantu basebephendula bathi: Igazi lakhe kalibe phezu kwethu laphezu kwabantwana bethu.
26 Thus let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered him to be crucified.
Wasebakhululela uBarabasi; kodwa esemtshaye ngesiswepu uJesu wamnikela ukuthi abethelwe.
27 Then the souldiers of the gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered about him the whole band,
Abebutho bombusi basebemngenisa uJesu endlini yombusi, baqoqela kuye ibutho lonke;
28 And they stripped him, and put about him a skarlet robe,
bamhlubula, bamgqokisa isembatho esibomvu,
29 And platted a crowne of thornes, and put it vpon his head, and a reede in his right hand, and bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, God saue thee King of the Iewes,
sebelukile umqhele wameva, bamethesa wona ekhanda, bamphathisa lomhlanga esandleni sakhe sokunene; baguqa phambi kwakhe bamklolodela, bathi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda!
30 And spitted vpon him, and tooke a reede, and smote him on the head.
Bamkhafulela amathe, bathatha umhlanga, batshaya ikhanda lakhe.
31 Thus when they had mocked him, they tooke the robe from him, and put his owne rayment on him, and led him away to crucifie him.
Sebemklolodele, bamhlubula isembatho, bamgqokisa izigqoko zakhe, bamqhuba ukuze bambethele.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to beare his crosse.
Kwathi sebephuma, bafica umuntu weKurene, uSimoni ngebizo; bambamba ngamandla lowo ukuthi athwale isiphambano sakhe.
33 And when they came vnto the place called Golgotha, (that is to say, the place of dead mens skulles)
Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa yiGolgotha, okuyikuthi iNdawo yokhakhayi,
34 They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drinke.
bamnika iviniga elixutshaniswe lenyongo ukuze alinathe; kodwa eselizwile kavumanga ukunatha.
35 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lottes, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, They deuided my garments among them, and vpon my vesture did cast lottes.
Futhi sebembethele, baba izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi ukuthi: Babelana izembatho zami, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngesigqoko sami.
36 And they sate, and watched him there.
Njalo sebehlala phansi bamlinda khona.
37 They set vp also ouer his head his cause written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEVVES.
Babeka ngaphezu kwekhanda lakhe incwadi yecala lakhe ilotshiwe ukuthi: LO NGUJESU INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
38 And there were two theeues crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
Kwasekubethelwa abaphangi ababili kanye laye, omunye ngakwesokunene lomunye ngakwesokhohlo.
39 And they that passed by, reuiled him, wagging their heades,
Labadlulayo bamhlambaza, benikina amakhanda abo,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest ye Temple, and buildest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe: if thou be ye Sonne of God, come downe from ye crosse.
besithi: Wena odiliza ithempeli ulakhe ngensuku ezintathu, zisindise; uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yehla esiphambanweni.
41 Likewise also the hie Priests mocking him, with the Scribes, and Elders, and Pharises, said,
Langokunjalo labapristi abakhulu labo bekloloda kanye lababhali labadala bathi:
42 He saued others, but he cannot saue him selfe: if he be ye King of Israel, let him now come downe from ye crosse, and we will beleeue in him.
Wasindisa abanye, yena angezisindise. Uba eyiNkosi yakoIsrayeli, kehle khathesi esiphambanweni, futhi sizamkholwa.
43 He trusted in God, let him deliuer him nowe, if he will haue him: for he saide, I am the Sonne of God.
Wathemba kuNkulunkulu; kamkhulule khathesi, uba emthanda. Ngoba wathi: NgiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
44 The selfe same thing also ye theeues which were crucified with him, cast in his teeth.
Labaphangi ababebethelwe kanye laye bamyangisa ngokufananayo.
45 Now from ye sixt houre was there darkenesse ouer all the land, vnto the ninth houre.
Njalo kusukela ngehola lesithupha kwaba lobumnyama emhlabeni wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye;
46 And about ye ninth houre Iesus cryed with a loud voyce, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
sekungaba lihola lesificamunwemunye uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: "Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani?" Okuyikuthi: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungitshiyeleni?
47 And some of them that stoode there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elias.
Njalo abanye kwababemi khona besizwa bathi: Lo ubiza uElija.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and tooke a spondge, and filled it with vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke.
Njalo omunye wabo wahle wagijima, wathatha uzipho, walugcwalisa ngeviniga, waluhloma emhlangeni, wamnika ukuthi anathe.
49 Other said, Let be: let vs see, if Elias wil come and saue him.
Kodwa abanye bathi: Yekelani sibone ukuthi uElija uzakuza amsindise.
50 Then Iesus cryed againe with a loude voyce, and yeelded vp the ghost.
UJesu wasebuya ememeza ngelizwi elikhulu wanikela umoya.
51 And behold, the vayle of the Temple was rent in twaine, from the top to the bottome, and the earth did quake, and the stones were cloue.
Futhi khangela, iveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa incezu ezimbili laqala phezulu lisiya phansi; lomhlaba wazamazama; lamadwala aqhekezeka;
52 And the graues did open themselues, and many bodies of the Saintes, which slept, arose,
lamangcwaba avuleka; lezidumbu ezinengi zabangcwele abasebelele zavuswa;
53 And came out of the graues after his resurrection, and went into the holy citie, and appeared vnto many.
sebephumile emangcwabeni emva kokuvuka kwakhe bangena emzini ongcwele, babonakala kwabanengi.
54 When the Centurion, and they that were with him watching Iesus, saw the earthquake, and the thinges that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truely this was the Sonne of God.
Kwathi induna yekhulu lalabo ababelayo belinde uJesu, sebebonile ukuzamazama komhlaba lezinto ezenzekileyo, besaba kakhulu, bathi: Ngeqiniso lo ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
55 And many women were there, beholding him a farre off, which had folowed Iesus from Galile, ministring vnto him.
Kwakukhona lapho abesifazana abanengi bebukele bekhatshana, ababemlandele uJesu bevela eGalili, bemncedisa;
56 Among whom was Marie Magdalene, and Marie the mother of Iames, and Ioses, and the mother of Zebedeus sonnes.
okwakukhona phakathi kwabo oMariya Magadalena, loMariya unina kaJakobe loJose, lonina wamadodana kaZebediya.
57 And when the euen was come, there came a riche man of Arimathea, named Ioseph, who had also himselfe bene Iesus disciple.
Kwathi sekuhlwile, kwafika umuntu onothileyo evela eArimathiya, ibizo lakhe linguJosefa, owayengumfundi kaJesu laye;
58 He went to Pilate, and asked ye body of Iesus. Then Pilate commanded ye body to be deliuered.
yena waya kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu. UPilatu waselaya ukuthi isidumbu asinikwe.
59 So Ioseph tooke the body, and wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth,
UJosefa wasethatha isidumbu wasigoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo elihlambulukileyo,
60 And put it in his new tombe, which he had hewen out in a rocke, and rolled a great stone to the doore of the sepulchre, and departed.
wasibeka engcwabeni lakhe elitsha, elaligujiwe edwaleni; wasegiqela ilitshe elikhulu emnyango wengcwaba, wahamba.
61 And there was Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie sitting ouer against the sepulchre.
Futhi kwakukhona lapho uMariya Magadalena, lomunye uMariya, behlezi maqondana lengcwaba.
62 Nowe the next day that followed the Preparation of the Sabbath, the hie Priestes and Pharises assembled to Pilate,
Langosuku olulandelayo, olulandela olwamalungiselelo, abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babuthana kuPilatu,
63 And said, Syr, we remember that that deceiuer saide, while he was yet aliue, Within three dayes I will rise.
besithi: Nkosi, siyakhumbula ukuthi lowomkhohlisi esaphila wathi: Emva kwensuku ezintathu ngizavuka.
64 Command therefore, that the sepulchre be made sure vntill the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steale him away, and say vnto the people, He is risen from the dead: so shall the last errour be worse then the first.
Ngakho laya ukuthi ingcwaba liqiniswe kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu; hlezi abafundi bakhe bafike ebusuku bamebe, besebesithi ebantwini: Uvukile kwabafileyo; kuthi inkohliso yokucina ibembi kuleyokuqala.
65 Then Pilate saide vnto them, Ye haue a watch: goe, and make it sure as ye knowe.
UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Lilabalindi; hambani, liliqinise njengokubona kwenu.
66 And they went, and made the sepulchre sure with the watch, and sealed the stone.
Bahamba-ke baliqinisa ingcwaba, beliphawula ilitshe, belabalindi.
