Luke 22
1 And the Celebration of the Unleavened [Bread] was coming near, that is called Passover,
UMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo owawubizwa ngokuthi liPhasika wawususondele,
2 and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take Him up, for they were afraid of the people.
njalo abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho babedinga enye indlela yokumsusa uJesu, ngoba babesesaba abantu.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve,
USathane wasengena kuJudasi owayethiwa ngu-Iskariyothi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili.
4 and he, having gone away, spoke with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver Him up to them,
UJudasi waya kubaphristi abakhulu lezikhulu zabavikeli bethempeli wabonisana labo ukuthi amnikele njani uJesu.
5 and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,
Bathokoza kakhulu, basebevuma ukumupha imali.
6 and he agreed, and was seeking a favorable season to deliver Him up to them without tumult.
Wavuma, wasemelela ithuba lokunikela uJesu kubo ngesikhathi kungelaxuku labantu.
7 And the day of the Unleavened [Bread] came, in which it was necessary [for] the Passover to be sacrificed,
Lwaselufika usuku lweSinkwa esingelaMvubelo okwakusenziwa ngalo umhlatshelo wewundlu lePhasika.
8 and He sent Peter and John, saying, “Having gone on, prepare to us the Passover, that we may eat”;
UJesu wathuma uPhethro loJohane wathi, “Hambani liyesilungisela ukuthi siyekudla iPhasika.”
9 and they said to Him, “Where do You will that we might prepare?”
Babuza bathi, “Ufuna siyelilungisela ngaphi?”
10 And He said to them, “Behold, in your entering into the city, a man will meet you there, carrying a pitcher of water, follow him into the house where he goes in,
Waphendula wathi, “Lizakuthi nje lingena edolobheni, lizahlangana lendoda iphethe inkonxa yamanzi. Liyilandele kuleyondlu ezangena kuyo,
11 and you will say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?
beselisithi kumninindlu, ‘Umfundisi uyabuza uthi: Ingaphi indlu yezethekeli, lapho engingadlela khona iPhasika labafundi bami?’
12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished, make ready there”;
Izalitshengisa ikamelo laphezulu elikhulu, elilungisiweyo. Yenzani amalungiselo khonapho.”
13 and they, having gone away, found as He has said to them, and they made the Passover ready.
Bahamba bayafica izinto zimi njengokutshelwa kwabo nguJesu. Ngakho balilungisa iPhasika.
14 And when the hour was come, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him,
Kwathi isikhathi sesifikile uJesu wahlala etafuleni labapostoli bakhe.
15 and He said to them, “With desire I desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering,
Wasesithi kubo, “Bengitshiseka kakhulu ukudla iPhasika leli lani ngingakahlupheki.
16 for I say to you that I may eat of it no longer until it may be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
Ngoba ngiyalitshela ukuthi kangisoze ngiphinde ngilidle njalo lize lizuze ukugcwaliseka embusweni kaNkulunkulu.”
17 And having taken a cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide to yourselves,
Esethethe inkezo wabonga wasesithi, “Kuthatheni lokhu likwabelane.
18 for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine until the Kingdom of God may come.”
Ngoba ngiyalitshela ukuthi angiyikuphinda nginathe okwesithelo sevini umbuso kaNkulunkulu uze ufike.”
19 And having taken bread, having given thanks, He broke and gave to them, saying, “This is My body, that is being given for you, do this in remembrance of Me.”
Wasethatha isinkwa, wabonga wasesihlephuna wabapha, wathi, “Lo ngumzimba wami ophiwe lina; kwenzeni lokhu kube yisikhumbuzo sami.”
20 In like manner, also, the cup after the dining, saying, “This cup [is] the New Covenant in My blood, that is being poured forth for you.
Ngaleyondlela, ngemva kokudla kwakusihlwa wathatha inkezo, esithi, “Inkezo le iyisivumelwano esitsha egazini lami, elichithelwa lina.
21 But behold, the hand of him delivering Me up [is] with Me on the table,
Kodwa isandla sakhe lowo ozanginikela sikanye lesami etafuleni.
22 and, indeed, the Son of Man goes according to what has been determined; but woe to that man through whom He is being delivered up.”
INdodana yoMuntu izahamba njengoba kumisiwe, kodwa maye kulowomuntu oyinikelayo.”
23 And they began to reason among themselves who then of them it may be who is about to do this thing.
Baqala ukubuzana ukuthi kambe ngabe ngubani kubo owayezakwenza lokhu.
24 And there happened also a strife among them—who of them is accounted to be greater.
Njalo kwaba lokuphikisana phakathi kwabo mayelana lokuthi ngubani kubo owayebonakala emkhulu kulabo bonke.
25 And He said to them, “The kings of the nations exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority on them are called benefactors;
UJesu wathi kubo, “Amakhosi abeZizwe azitshengisela amandla awo kulabo ababusayo; leziphathamandla zakhona zibizwa ngokuthi Mcoli.
26 but you [are] not so, but he who is greater among you—let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;
Kodwa akumelanga libe njalo. Endaweni yalokho, lowo omkhulu kulani lonke kabe njengomncinyane kini lonke, lalowo obusayo abe nguye okhonza abanye.
27 for who is greater? He who is reclining, or he who is ministering? Is it not he who is reclining? And I am in your midst as He who is ministering.
Kambe ngubani omkhulu kulomunye, lowo ohlezi etafuleni yokudla loba lowo ophakayo na? Kakusilowo osetafuleni na? Kodwa mina ngiphakathi kwenu njengalowo oliphakelayo.
28 And you are those who have remained with Me in My temptations,
Liyilabo abame lami ebunzimeni bami.
29 and I appoint to you a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,
Ngakho ngiyalinika umbuso njengoba uBaba wanginika lami,
30 that you may eat and may drink at My table, in My kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
ukuze lidle njalo linathe etafuleni lami embusweni wami njalo lihlale ezihlalweni zobukhosi, lisahlulela izizwana zika-Israyeli ezilitshumi lambili.
31 And the LORD said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked for himself to sift you as the wheat,
Simoni, Simoni uSathane usecele ukulihlungula lonke njengengqoloyi.
32 and I implored for you that your faith may not fail; and you, when you turned, strengthen your brothers.”
Kodwa sengikukhulekele wena Simoni, ukuthi ukholo lwakho lungaze lwawela phansi. Ubokuthi nxa usuphendukile uqinise abafowenu.”
33 And he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death”;
Kodwa waphendula wathi, “Nkosi, ngizimisele ukuhamba lawe entolongweni lasekufeni.”
34 and He said, “I say to you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today, before you may disown knowing Me three times.”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngiyakutshela, Phethro, ukuthi iqhude lingakakhali lamuhla, uzaphika kathathu ukuthi uyangazi.”
35 And He said to them, “When I sent you without bag, and leather pouch, and sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”
UJesu wasebabuza wathi, “Ngize ngilithume lingelamxhaka, loba isikhwama kumbe amanyathela, kukhona yini elake lakusilela?” Baphendula bathi, “Akubanga lalutho.”
36 Then He said to them, “But now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a leather pouch; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,
Wathi, kubo, “Kodwa manje nxa ulesikhwama semali, sithathe, kanye lomgodla; njalo nxa ungelankemba, thengisa isigqoko sakho uyithenge.
37 for I say to you that this which has been written is necessary to be accomplished in Me: And He was reckoned with lawless ones; for also the things concerning Me have an end.”
Kulotshiwe ukuthi, ‘Wabalwa ndawonye lezoni’; njalo ngiyalitshela ukuthi lokhu kumele kugcwaliseke kimi. Yebo, lokho okubhaliweyo ngami sekufika ekugcwalisweni kwakho.”
38 And they said, “Lord, behold, here [are] two swords”; and He said to them, “It is sufficient.”
Abafundi bathi, “Khangela, Nkosi, nanzi inkemba ezimbili.” Waphendula uJesu wathi, “Kwanele.”
39 And having gone forth, He went on, according to custom, to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples also followed Him,
UJesu wahamba njengenjayelo waya eNtabeni yama-Oliva, abafundi bakhe bamlandela.
40 and having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray to not enter into temptation.”
Esefikile kuleyondawo, wathi kubo, “Khulekani ukuze lingaweli ekulingweni.”
41 And He was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone’s cast, and having fallen on the knees He was praying,
Watsheda kubo okwebanga lokuphosa ilitshe, waguqa phansi wakhuleka wathi,
42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me, but not My will, but Yours be done.”
“Baba, nxa uthanda susa inkezo le kimi; kodwa akungabi yintando yami, kodwa kwenziwe eyakho.”
43 And there appeared to Him a messenger from Heaven strengthening Him;
Ingilosi yabonakala kuye ivela ezulwini yamqinisa.
44 and having been in agony, He was more earnestly praying, and His sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling on the ground.
Kwathi edabukile kakhulu, wakhuleka ngokutshiseka, izithukuthuku zakhe zangathi ligazi lithontela phansi.
45 And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the sorrow,
Wathi esephakeme ekukhulekeni wabuyela kubafundi bakhe wabafica belele, bekhathele ngenxa yosizi.
46 and He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Having risen, pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
Wababuza wathi, “Kungani lilele na? Vukani likhuleke ukuze lingaweli ekulingweni.”
47 And while He is speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the Twelve, was coming before them, and he came near to Jesus to kiss Him,
Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika ixuku labantu, indoda ethiwa nguJudasi omunye wabalitshumi lambili, wayebahola. Wasondela kuJesu ukumanga,
48 and Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss?”
kodwa uJesu wambuza wathi, “Judasi, uyayinikela na iNdodana yoMuntu ngokuyanga?”
49 And those around Him, having seen what was about to be, said to Him, “Lord, will we strike with a sword?”
Kwathi abalandeli bakaJesu sebebona okwasekuzakwenzeka bathi, “Nkosi, sigalele yini ngenkemba zethu?”
50 And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,
Omunye wabo wayigalela inceku yomphristi omkhulu, wayiquma indlebe yayo yokunene.
51 and Jesus answering said, “Permit thus far,” and having touched his ear, He healed him.
Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi, “Kakufuneki lokhu!” Waseyibamba indlebe yalowomuntu wamsilisa.
52 And Jesus said to those having come on Him—chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders, “Have you come forth with swords and sticks as on a robber?
UJesu wasesithi kubaphristi abakhulu, lezikhulu zabalindi bethempeli kanye labadala bebandla ababemlandile, “Ngikhokhela umvukela yini lize liphethe izinkemba lenduku?
53 While daily I was with you in the temple, you stretched forth no hands against Me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.”
Zonke insuku bengilani emagumeni ethempeli, kodwa kalizange lingithinte. Kodwa lesi yisikhathi senu, lapho kubusa umnyama.”
54 And having taken Him, they led and brought Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following far off,
Bamdumela, bamusa endlini yomphristi omkhulu. UPhethro wayemlandela ebucwala.
55 and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,
Kodwa kwathi sebebase umlilo phakathi kweguma bahlala phansi ndawonye, uPhethro wahlala phansi labo.
56 and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, “And this one was with Him!”
Intombazana eyisisebenzi yambona ehlezi khonapho ekukhanyeni komlilo. Yamkhangelisisa yathi, “Indoda le yayilaye.”
57 And he disowned Him, saying, “Woman, I have not known Him.”
Kodwa yena waphika wathi, “Ntombazana, kangimazi.”
58 And after a while, another having seen him, said, “And you are of them!” And Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
Ngemva kwesikhatshana omunye wambona wathi, “Lawe ungomunye wabo.” UPhethro waphendula wathi, “Ndoda, angisuye.”
59 And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, “Of a truth this one also was with Him, for he is also a Galilean”;
Sekudlule phose ihola omunye wagcizelela wathi, “Ngeqiniso umuntu lo wayelaye, ngoba ungumGalile.”
60 and Peter said, “Man, I have not known what you say”; and immediately, while he is speaking, a rooster crowed.
Waphendula uPhethro wathi, “Ndoda, angikwazi okhuluma ngakho!” Elokhu esakhuluma, iqhude lakhala.
61 And the LORD, having turned, looked on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the LORD, how He said to him, “Before a rooster will crow, you may disown Me three times”;
INkosi yatshibilika, yamkhangela yamuthi nhlo uPhethro. UPhethro waselikhumbula ilizwi iNkosi eyayilikhulumile kuye isithi: “Iqhude lingakakhali lamuhla, uzangiphika kathathu.”
62 and Peter having gone outside, wept bitterly.
Ngakho wasephumela ngaphandle wakhala kabuhlungu.
63 And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking Him, beating [Him];
Amadoda ayelinde uJesu aqalisa ukumhoza lokumtshaya.
64 and having blindfolded Him, they were striking Him on the face, and were questioning Him, saying, “Prophesy who he is who struck You?”
Amvala amehlo athi kuye, “Phrofitha! Ngubani okutshayileyo?”
65 And many other things, slandering, they spoke in regard to Him.
Amthuka ngezindlela ezinengi.
66 And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led Him up to their own Sanhedrin,
Emadabukakusa inkundla yabakhokheli babantu, kanye labaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho yahlangana ndawonye, uJesu walethwa phambi kwabo.
67 saying, “If You are the Christ, tell us.” And He said to them, “If I may tell you, you will not believe;
Bathi, “Nxa unguKhristu sitshele.” UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngingaze ngilitshele kalisoze lingikholwe,
68 and if I also question [you], you will not answer Me or send Me away;
njalo nxa bengingalibuza belingeke liphendule.
69 from now on, there will be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.”
Kodwa kusukela khathesi iNdodana yoMuntu izahlala kwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu olamandla amakhulu.”
70 And they all said, “You, then, are the Son of God?” And He said to them, “You say [it], because I AM”;
Bonke babuza bathi, “Kutsho ukuthi-ke uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu na?” Waphendula wathi, “Liqondile ukuthi ngiyiyo.”
71 and they said, “What need do we have yet of testimony? For we ourselves heard [it] from His mouth.”
Basebesithi, “Sisabudingelani obunye ubufakazi na? Sesikuzwe kuphuma kowakhe umlomo.”
