Mark 15
1 And, straightway, early, when they had made, a council, the High-priest, with the Elders, and Scribes, and all the High-council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him up unto Pilate.
Kwathi khonokho ekuseni kakhulu abapristi abakhulu benza umhlangano kanye labadala lababhali, lomphakathi wonke, bambopha uJesu bamqhuba bamnikela kuPilatu.
2 And Pilate questioned him—Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, saith—Thou, sayest.
UPilatu wasembuza wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? Wasemphendula wathi kuye: Uyatsho wena.
3 And the High-priests began to accuse him, of many things.
Abapristi abakhulu basebemmangalela ngezinto ezinengi; kodwa yena kaphendulanga lutho.
4 And, Pilate, again, was questioning him, [saying]—Answerest thou, nothing? See! of how many things, they are accusing thee!
UPilatu wasebuya embuza, wathi: Kawuphenduli lutho yini? Khangela, zingaki izinto abazifakazayo ezimelana lawe.
5 But, Jesus, no further, answered, anything, so that Pilate began to marvel.
Kodwa uJesu kabesaphendula lutho, waze wamangala uPilatu.
6 Now, at feast time, he was wont to release unto them one prisoner, whom they were claiming.
Langomkhosi wayebakhululela isibotshwa esisodwa, loba yisiphi abasicelayo.
7 And there was the so-called Barabbas, with the rebels, bound, even with them who, in the rebellion, had committed, murder.
Kwakukhona umuntu othiwa nguBarabasi, owayebotshiwe lalabo ababevukele umbuso laye, ababebulele ekuvukeleni umbuso.
8 And, going up, the multitude began to be claiming—according as he was wont to do for them.
Ixuku laselimemeza laqala ukucela ukuthi enze njengalokho ayehlezi ekwenza kubo.
9 But, Pilate, answered them, saying—Will ye, I release unto you, the King of the Jews?
UPilatu wasebaphendula, wathi: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele iNkosi yamaJuda yini?
10 For he was getting to know that, for envy, had [the High-priests] delivered him up.
Ngoba wayekwazi ukuthi ngomona abapristi abakhulu bamnikele.
11 But, the High-priests, stirred up the multitude, that, rather Barabbas, he should release unto them.
Kodwa abapristi abakhulu bavusa ixuku, ukuthi kungcono alikhululele uBarabasi.
12 But, Pilate, again answering, was saying unto them—What then shall I do with him whom ye call, the King of the Jews?
UPilatu wasephendula wathi futhi kubo: Pho lifuna ngimenzeni lo elithi uyiNkosi yamaJuda?
13 And, they, again, cried out—Crucify him!
Basebememeza futhi bathi: Mbethele!
14 But, Pilate, was saying unto them—Why! what, evil, hath he done? And, they, vehemently, cried out—Crucify him!
Kodwa uPilatu wathi kubo: Ngoba wenze ububi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu bathi: Mbethele!
15 And Pilate, being minded to do what would satisfy, the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, having scourged him, that he should be crucified.
Khona uPilatu ethanda ukukholisa ixuku, wabakhululela uBarabasi; kodwa wamnikela uJesu, esemtshaye ngesiswepu, ukuthi abethelwe.
16 And, the soldiers, led him away, inside the court, which is a judgment-hall, —and called together the whole band;
Abebutho basebemngenisa phakathi, egumeni, eliyindlu yombusi, basebebizela ibutho lonke ndawonye,
17 and they array him in purple, and set upon him, when they have plaited it; a crown of thorns, —
bamgqokisa okuyibubende, sebeluke umqhele wameva bamethesa,
18 and began to be saluting him—Joy to thee! King of the Jews!
baqala ukumbingelela besithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda!
19 and were striking him on the head with a reed, and were spitting at him, —and, bowing their knees, were doing him homage.
Batshaya ikhanda lakhe ngomhlanga, bamkhafulela amathe, baguqa ngamadolo bamkhonza.
20 And, when they had mocked him, they put off him, the purple, and put on him, his own garments. And they lead him forth, that they may crucify him.
Sebemklolodele, bamhlubula okuyibubende, bamgqokisa ezakhe izembatho. Basebemusa phandle ukuze bambethele.
21 And they impress a certain passer-by, Simon a Cyrenian, coming from a field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, —that he may carry his cross.
Babamba ngamandla omunye owayesedlula othiwa nguSimoni umKurene, evela emaphandleni, uyise kaAleksandro loRufusi, ukuthi athwale isiphambano sakhe.
22 And they bring him unto the Golgotha place, which is, being translated, Skull-place.
Basebemusa endaweniethiwa yiGolgotha, okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, iNdawo yokhakhayi.
23 And they would have given him, myrrhed wine, —who, however, received it not.
Basebemnika iwayini lixutshaniswe lenhlaka ukuthi alinathe; kodwa kalemukelanga.
24 And they crucify him, and part asunder his garments, casting a lot upon them—who should have anything.
Sebembethele, babelana izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngazo, ukuthi ngamunye uzathathani.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Kwakulihola lesithathu, njalo bambethela.
26 And the inscription of his accusation, had been inscribed—THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Futhi kwakulombhalo wecala lakhe elalibhalwe phezulu usithi: INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
27 And, with him, they crucify, two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
Njalo babethela kanye laye abaphangi ababili, omunye ngakwesokunene lomunye ngakwesokhohlo sakhe.
Wasugcwaliseka umbhalo othi: Futhi wabalwa kanye lezoni.
29 And, the passers-by, were reviling him, shaking their heads, and saying—Aha! thou who wast pulling down the shrine, and building one in three days!
Labedlulayo bamhlambaza, benikina amakhanda abo, besithi: Hiya, wena odiliza ithempeli, ulakhe ngensuku ezintathu,
30 Save thyself, —coming down from the cross.
zisindise, wehle esiphambanweni.
31 Likewise, the High-priests also, mocking one to another, with the Scribes, were saying—Others, he saved, himself, he cannot save!
Langokunjalo abapristi abakhulu labo bakloloda kanye lababhali bathi omunye komunye: Wasindisa abanye, angezisindise yena.
32 The Christ, the King of Israel—let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And, they who had been crucified with him, were casting it in his teeth.
UKristu iNkosi yakoIsrayeli kehle khathesi esiphambanweni, ukuze sibone sikholwe. Lababebethelwe kanye laye bamklolodela.
33 And, when it was the sixth hour, darkness, came on all the land—until the ninth hour;
Kwathi sekufike ihola lesithupha, kwaba khona ubumnyama phezu komhlaba wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye.
34 and, at the ninth hour, Jesus, uttered a cry, with a loud voice—Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthanei? which is, being translated—My God! [My God!] to what end, didst thou forsake me?
Ngehola lesificamunwemunye uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi, "Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabaktani?" Okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungitshiyeleni?
35 And, some of the by-standers, having heard, were saying—See! Elijah, he calleth!
Labanye kwababemi khona besizwa bathi: Khangelani, ubiza uElija.
36 And one, running, filled a sponge with vinegar, and, putting it about a reed, was giving him to drink, saying—Stay! let us see whether Elijah is coming, to take him down!
Wasegijima omunye, wagcwalisa uzipho ngeviniga, waluhloma emhlangeni, wamnika ukuthi anathe, esithi: Yekelani, sibone uba uElija uzakuza amethule.
37 But, Jesus, sending out a loud voice, ceased to breathe.
UJesu wasememeza ngelizwi elikhulu waphefumula okokucina.
38 And, the veil of the Temple, was rent into two, from top to bottom.
Leveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa laba zincezu ezimbili laqala phezulu lisiya phansi.
39 Now the centurion, who was standing near, out over against him, seeing, that, thus, he ceased to breathe, said—Truly, this man, was God’s son!
Kwathi induna yekhulu eyayimi maqondana laye ibona ukuthi ukhale njalo, waphefumula okokucina, yathi: Ngeqiniso lumuntu ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
40 And there were, women also, from afar, looking on, —among whom were both Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome;
Kwakukhona labesifazana bebukele bekhatshana, okwakukhona phakathi kwabo loMariya Magadalena, loMariya unina kaJakobe omncinyane lokaJose, loSalome,
41 who, when he was in Galilee, used to follow him, and minister unto him, —and many other women, who had come up with him unto Jerusalem.
(labo abamlandela, eseseGalili, bamsebenzela), labanye abesifazana abanengi abenyukela eJerusalema laye.
42 And evening, already, having begun, since it was a preparation, that is, the eve of a Sabbath,
Kwathi sekuhlwile, ngoba kwakungamalungiselelo, okuyikuthi usuku phambi kwesabatha,
43 Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble counsellor, who, also himself, was awaiting the kingdom of God, came; and, venturing, went in unto Pilate, and claimed the body of Jesus.
wafika uJosefa owayevela eArimathiya, ilunga elihloniphekayo lomphakathi, owayelindele laye umbuso kaNkulunkulu; wangena ngesibindi kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu.
44 But, Pilate, wondered whether, already, he was dead; and, calling near the centurion, questioned him—whether he had, already, died.
UPilatu wasemangala ngokuthi usefile; wabizela kuye induna yekhulu, wayibuza ukuthi kambe sekuyisikhathi efile.
45 And, getting to know from the centurion, he presented the corpse unto Joseph.
Esazisiwe yinduna yekhulu, wamnika uJosefa isidumbu.
46 And, buying a fine Indian cloth, he took him down, and wrapped him about with the cloth, and laid him in a tomb, which had been hewn out of a rock, —and rolled near a stone upon the door of the tomb.
Wasethenga ilembu elicolekileyo, wamethula, wamgoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo, wambeka engcwabeni elaligujwe edwaleni; wagiqela ilitshe emnyango wengcwaba.
47 Now, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, were viewing how he had been laid.
Futhi uMariya Magadalena loMariya unina kaJose babona lapho abekwe khona.
