Mark 14
1 And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;
Kwathi emva kwensuku ezimbili kwaba khona iphasika lomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo; abapristi abakhulu lababhali basebedinga ukuthi bangambamba njani ngobuqili bambulale;
2 and they said, 'Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.'
kodwa bathi: Kungabi ngomkhosi, hlezi kube lesiphithiphithi sabantu.
3 And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;
Kwathi eseBethani, endlini kaSimoni umlephero, ehlezi ekudleni, kwafika owesifazana ephethe umfuma we-alibasta wamagcobo awenadi uqobo aligugu elikhulu; wasephahlaza umfuma we-alibasta, wawathela ekhanda lakhe.
4 and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, 'For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?
Kwakukhona abanye abathukuthelayo ngaphakathi kwabo, besithi: Kwenzelwani ukumotshwa kwalamagcobo?
5 for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her.
Ngoba la abengathengiswa ngemali edlula odenariyo abangamakhulu amathathu, besekunikwa abayanga. Basebemsola.
6 And Jesus said, 'Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;
Kodwa uJesu wathi: Myekeleni; limhluphelani? Wenze umsebenzi omuhle kimi.
7 for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;
Ngoba abayanga lihlala lilabo, futhi uba lithanda lingabenzela okuhle; kodwa mina kalihlali lilami.
8 what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.
Yena wenzile abengakwenza; uqalile ngaphambili ukuwugcobela ukungcwatshwa umzimba wami.
9 Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of — for a memorial of her.'
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngaphi emhlabeni wonke lapho okuzatshunyayelwa khona lelivangeli, lalokhu akwenzileyo kuzakhulunywa ngakho kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.
10 And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them,
UJudasi Iskariyothi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili, wasesiya kubapristi abakhulu, ukuze amnikele kubo.
11 and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.
Futhi sebezwile bathokoza, bathembisa ukumnika imali; wasedinga ukuthi angamnikela njani kuhle.
12 And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, 'Where wilt thou, [that, ] having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?'
Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lwesinkwa esingelamvubelo, ababehlaba ngalo iphasika, abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Uthanda ukuthi siyelungisa ngaphi ukuze udle iphasika?
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, 'Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him;
Wasethuma ababili kubafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Hambani liye emzini, njalo umuntu uzahlangana lani ethwele imbiza yamanzi; limlandele,
14 and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the house — The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?
njalo loba kungaphi azangena khona, kalibokuthi kumninindlu: UMfundisi uthi: Ingaphi indlu yezihambi, lapho engingadlela khona iphasika labafundi bami?
15 and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared — there make ready for us.'
Futhi yena uzalitshengisa indlu enkulu ephezulu eyendlelweyo elungisiweyo; silungiseleni khona.
16 And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover.
Abafundi bakhe basebephuma, bangena emzini, bathola kunjengokutsho kwakhe kubo; basebelungisa iphasika.
17 And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve,
Kwathi sekukusihlwa wafika labalitshumi lambili.
18 and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, 'Verily I say to you — one of you, who is eating with me — shall deliver me up.'
Sebehlezi besidla, uJesu wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Omunye wenu, odla lami, uzanginikela.
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, 'Is it I?' and another, 'Is it I?'
Basebeqala ukudabuka, bathi kuye ngamunye ngamunye: Ayisimi, akunjalo yini? Lomunye: Ayisimi, akunjalo yini?
20 And he answering said to them, 'One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;
Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Ngomunye wabalitshumi lambili, otsheba kanye lami emganwini.
21 the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.'
Sibili iNdodana yomuntu ihamba, njengokulotshiweyo ngayo; kodwa maye kulowomuntu enikelwa nguye iNdodana yomuntu! Bekungakuhle kuye aluba lowomuntu wayengazalwanga.
22 And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.'
Kwathi besidla, uJesu wathatha isinkwa, wasibusisa wasihlephula, wabanika, wathi: Thathani, lidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami.
23 And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it — all;
Wasethatha inkezo, esebongile wabanika; basebenatha kuyo bonke.
24 and he said to them, 'This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out;
Wasesithi kubo: Leli ligazi lami, elesivumelwano esitsha, elichithelwa abanengi.
25 verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.'
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angisayikunatha okwesithelo sevini, kuze kufike lolosuku engizasinatha ngalo sisitsha embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
26 And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives,
Kwathi sebehlabele ingoma yokudumisa baphuma baya entabeni yeMihlwathi.
27 and Jesus saith to them — 'All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lonke lizakhubeka ngami ngalobubusuku; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngizatshaya umelusi, izimvu besezihlakazeka.
28 but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.'
Kodwa emva kokuvuswa kwami, ngizalandulela ukuya eGalili.
29 And Peter said to him, 'And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'
Kodwa uPetro wathi kuye: Lanxa bonke bezakhubeka, kodwa hatshi mina.
30 And Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'
UJesu wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Lamuhla ngalobubusuku, lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu.
31 And he spake the more vehemently, 'If it may be necessary for me to die with thee — I will in no wise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all.
Kodwa waqinisa ngamandla esithi: Loba kudingeka ngife lawe, angisoze ngikuphike. Basebesitsho njalo labo bonke.
32 And they come to a spot, the name of which [is] Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, 'Sit ye here till I may pray;'
Basebefika endaweni ebizo layo yiGetsemane; wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Hlalani phansi lapha, ngisayakhuleka.
33 and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,
Wasethatha kanye laye uPetro loJakobe loJohane, waseqala ukudatshulwa sibili lokukhathazeka kakhulu.
34 and he saith to them, 'Exceeding sorrowful is my soul — to death; remain here, and watch.'
Wasesithi kubo: Umphefumulo wami udabukile kakhulu kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha lilinde.
35 And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,
Waseqhubeka ibangana, wawela emhlabathini, wakhuleka ukuthi, uba kungenzeka, kudlule kuye lelihola.
36 and he said, 'Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.'
Wasesithi: Abha, Baba, zonke izinto ziyenzeka kuwe. Susa linkezo kimi; kodwa kungabi yikuthi ngithandani mina, kodwa kube yikuthi uthandani wena.
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, 'Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!
Wasesiza, wabafica belele, wathi kuPetro: Simoni, ulele yini? Ubungelinde yini ihola libe linye?
38 Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'
Lindani likhuleke, ukuze lingangeni ekulingweni. Umoya uyavuma-ke, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka.
39 And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word saying;
Wasebuya wahamba wayakhuleka, esitsho wona lawomazwi.
40 and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.
Wasebuya wabafica futhi belele; ngoba amehlo abo ayenzima, kodwa babengazi ukuthi bazamphendula bathini.
41 And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, 'Sleep on henceforth, and rest — it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;
Wasesiza ngokwesithathu, wathi kubo: Qhubekani-ke lilele, liphumule. Kwanele; ihola selifikile; khangelani, iNdodana yomuntu iyanikelwa ezandleni zezoni.
42 rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come nigh.'
Sukumani, sihambe; khangelani, onginikelayo useduze.
43 And immediately — while he is yet speaking — cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;
Kwathi esakhuluma, wahle wafika uJudasi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili, njalo elexuku elikhulu elilezinkemba lezinduku, livela kubapristi abakhulu lababhali labadala.
44 and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, 'Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,'
Lomnikelayo wayebanike isiboniso, esithi: Lowo engizamanga, nguye; limbambe, limqhube limqinise.
45 and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, 'Rabbi, Rabbi,' and kissed him.
Esefikile, wahle wasondela kuye wathi: Rabi, Rabi! Wasemanga.
46 And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;
Basebemdumela, bambamba.
47 and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.
Lomunye kwababemi khona wakhokha inkemba wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu, waquma indlebe yayo.
48 And Jesus answering said to them, 'As against a robber ye came out, with swords and sticks, to take me!
UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Liphume njengokuyamelana lomphangi yini lilezinkemba lezinduku ukuzangibamba?
49 daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me — but that the Writings may be fulfilled.'
Bengilani insuku ngensuku ethempelini ngifundisa, kodwa kalingibambanga - kodwa ukuze kugcwaliseke imibhalo.
50 And having left him they all fled;
Bonke basebemtshiya babaleka.
51 and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about [his] naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,
Lejaha elithile lamlandela, lembethe ilembu elicolekileyo emzimbeni onqunu. Aselibamba amajaha;
52 and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.
laselitshiya ilembu elicolekileyo lababalekela linqunu.
53 And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes;
Basebemqhuba uJesu bamusa kumpristi omkhulu; basebebuthana kuye abapristi abakhulu bonke labadala lababhali.
54 and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.
UPetro wasemlandela ekhatshana waze waba phakathi kweguma lompristi omkhulu; wayehlezi kanye lezinceku, esotha umlilo.
55 And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony — to put him to death, and they were not finding,
Labapristi abakhulu lomphakathi wonke badinga ubufakazi ngoJesu, ukuze bambulale; kodwa kababutholanga.
56 for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.
Ngoba abanengi bafakaza amanga ngaye, kodwa lobubufakazi kabuvumelananga.
57 And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying —
Kwasekusukuma abanye bafakaza amanga amelana laye besithi:
58 'We heard him saying — I will throw down this sanctuary made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands I will build;'
Thina samuzwa esithi: Mina ngizadiliza lelithempeli elenziwe ngezandla, njalo ngakhe elinye elingenziwanga ngezandla ngensuku ezintathu.
59 and neither so was their testimony alike.
Loba kunjalo ubufakazi babo kabuvumelananga.
60 And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, 'Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?'
Kwasekusukuma umpristi omkhulu phakathi kwabo wambuza uJesu, esithi: Kawuphenduli lutho yini? Bafakazani laba okumelana lawe?
61 and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, 'Art thou the Christ — the Son of the Blessed?'
Kodwa wathula, kaphendulanga lutho. Umpristi omkhulu wabuya wambuza, wathi kuye: Wena unguKristu, iNdodana yoBusisiweyo yini?
62 and Jesus said, 'I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.'
UJesu wasesithi: Mina nginguye. Njalo lizabona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene samandla, isiza ngamayezi ezulu.
63 And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, 'What need have we yet of witnesses?
Umpristi omkhulu wasedabula izembatho zakhe wathi: Sisaswelelani abafakazi?
64 Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?' and they all condemned him to be worthy of death,
Liyizwile inhlamba; licabangani? Bonke basebemlahla ukuthi ulecala lokufa.
65 and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, 'Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.
Abanye basebeqala ukumkhafulela amathe, lokumgubuzela ubuso, lokumdutshuza, lokuthi kuye: Profetha! Izinceku zasezimwakala.
66 And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest,
UPetro esegumeni ngaphansi, kwafika enye yezincekukazi zompristi omkhulu;
67 and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, 'And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!'
isibona uPetro esotha, yamkhangela yathi: Lawe ubulomNazaretha, uJesu.
68 and he denied, saying, 'I have not known [him], neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.
Kodwa waphika, wathi: Kangikwazi, futhi kangikuqedisisi okutshoyo. Wasephuma phandle, waya entubeni; laselikhala iqhude.
69 And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near — 'This is of them;'
Njalo incekukazi encane yabuya yambona, yaqala ukutsho kwababemi khona ukuthi: Lo ungomunye wabo.
70 and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, 'Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;'
Kodwa wabuya waphika. Kwathi emva kwesikhatshana futhi labo ababemi khona bathi kuPetro: Ngeqiniso ungomunye wabo; ngoba lawe ungumGalili, lolimi lwakho luyavumelana.
71 and he began to anathematize, and to swear — 'I have not known this man of whom ye speak;'
Waseqala ukuqalekisa lokufunga esithi: Kangimazi lumuntu elimtshoyo.
72 and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him — 'Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon — he was weeping.
Iqhude laselikhala ngokwesibili. UPetro wasekhumbula ilizwi uJesu ayelitshilo kuye lokuthi: Lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu. Esenakane ngalokhu wakhala.
