Mathayo 26
1 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩkirie kuuga maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ,
Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile wonke lamazwi, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
2 “O ta ũrĩa mũũĩ, Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka gĩtigairie matukũ meerĩ gĩkinye, nake Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakaneanwo nĩgeetha aambwo mũtĩ-igũrũ.”
Liyazi ukuthi emva kwensuku ezimbili kuzakuba liphasika, leNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ukuze ibethelwe.
3 Hĩndĩ ĩyo athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri a kĩrĩndĩ makĩgomana kwa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, wetagwo Kaiafa,
Kwasekubuthana abapristi abakhulu lababhali labadala babantu egumeni lompristi omkhulu othiwa nguKayafasi,
4 nĩguo maciire ũrĩa mangĩnyiitithia Jesũ na njĩra ya wara, na mamũũragithie.
basebecebisana ukuthi bambambe uJesu ngobuqili bambulale.
5 No makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩmũnyiita hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ, nĩguo andũ matikarute haaro.”
Kodwa bathi: Kungabi ngomkhosi, ukuthi kungabi khona isiphithiphithi ebantwini.
6 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe Jesũ aarĩ Bethania, mũciĩ wa mũndũ wetagwo Simoni ũrĩa warĩ na mũrimũ wa mangũ,
Kwathi uJesu eseBethani endlini kaSimoni umlephero,
7 na mũndũ-wa-nja warĩ na cuba ya maguta ma goro mũno na manungi wega, agĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ, akĩmũitĩrĩria maguta mũtwe arĩ metha-inĩ akĩrĩa.
kwafika kuye owesifazana ephethe umfuma we-alibasta ulamagcobo aligugu elikhulu, wasewuthululela ekhanda lakhe ehlezi ekudleni.
8 Rĩrĩa arutwo moonire ũguo, makĩrakara, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũitangi ũyũ nĩ wakĩ?
Kodwa abafundi bebona lokhu bathukuthela, bathi: Ngokwani ukumotsha lokhu?
9 Maguta macio manungi wega nĩmangĩendio goro na mbeeca icio iheo athĩĩni.”
Ngoba la amagcobo angathengiswa ngokunengi, besekunikwa abayanga.
10 Nake Jesũ aamenya ũguo, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrathĩĩnia mũndũ-wa-nja ũyũ nĩkĩ? We nĩanjĩka ũndũ mwega.
Kodwa uJesu ekwazi wathi kubo: Limhluphelani owesifazana? Ngoba wenzile umsebenzi omuhle kimi;
11 Arĩa athĩĩni mũrĩkoragwo nao hĩndĩ ciothe, no niĩ-rĩ, mũtirĩkoragwo na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.
ngoba abayanga lihlala lilabo, kodwa mina kalihlali lilami.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aitĩrĩirie mwĩrĩ wakwa maguta macio manungi wega, eekire ũguo nĩgeetha aathagathage ũrĩa ngaathikwo.
Ngoba ngokuthululela la amagcobo emzimbeni wami, ukwenzele umngcwabo wami.
13 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, kũrĩa guothe Ũhoro-ũyũ-Mwega ũkaahunjio thĩinĩ wa thĩ yothe-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio eeka nĩũkeeragwo andũ nĩgeetha aririkanagwo.”
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngaphi emhlabeni wonke lapho okuzatshunyayelwa khona lelivangeli, lalokho akwenzileyo kuzakhulunywa ngakho, kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmwe wa acio ikũmi na eerĩ, ũrĩa wetagwo Judasi Mũisikariota, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene,
Omunye wabalitshumi lambili, othiwa nguJudasi Iskariyothi, wasesiya kubapristi abakhulu,
15 akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ mũkũũhe ingĩmũneana kũrĩ inyuĩ?” Nao makĩmũtarĩra icunjĩ cia betha mĩrongo ĩtatũ, makĩmũnengera.
wathi: Livuma ukunginikani, mina-ke ngizamnikela kini? Basebevumelana laye ngenhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu.
16 Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo Judasi akĩambĩrĩria gũcaria mweke wa kũmũneana.
Njalo kusukela lapho wadinga ithuba elihle lokumnikela.
17 Mũthenya wa mbere wa kwambĩrĩria kũrĩa Mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia-rĩ, arutwo magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Jesũ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda tũkahaarĩrie irio cia Bathaka kũ?”
Kwathi ngolokuqala lwesinkwa esingelamvubelo abafundi beza kuJesu, besithi kuye: Uthanda ukuthi sikulungisele ngaphi ukuthi udle iphasika?
18 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi itũũra-inĩ kũrĩ mũndũ mũna mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrutani oiga atĩrĩ: Ihinda rĩakwa rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo rĩrĩ hakuhĩ. Ngũrĩĩra irio cia Bathaka nyũmba gwaku tũrĩ na arutwo akwa.’”
Wasesithi: Hambani liye emzini kumuntu othile, lithi kuye: UMfundisi uthi: Isikhathi sami sesiseduze; ngizakwenza iphasika kwakho kanye labafundi bami.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arutwo magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jesũ aamathĩte, na makĩhaarĩria irio cia Bathaka.
Benza-ke abafundi njengoba uJesu ebalayile, basebelungisa iphasika.
20 Gwakinya hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩikara metha-inĩ ya irio hamwe na arutwo ake acio ikũmi na eerĩ.
Kwathi sekuhlwile wayehlezi labalitshumi lambili.
21 Na rĩrĩa maarĩĩaga, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũmwe wanyu nĩekũngunyanĩra.”
Bathi besidla wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Omunye wenu uzanginikela.
22 Nao makĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩeha mũno, makĩambĩrĩria kũmũũria o mũndũ atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ti-itherũ nĩ niĩ?”
Basebedabuka kakhulu baqala ukuthi kuye ngamunye wabo: Nkosi, ayisimi, akunjalo yini?
23 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa waikanĩria guoko na niĩ mbakũri-inĩ nĩwe ũrĩngunyanĩra.
Wasephendula wathi: Ofaka isandla sakhe kanye lami emganwini, nguye ozanginikela.
24 Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũthiĩ o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wake wandĩkĩtwo. No mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũkunyanĩra Mũrũ wa Mũndũ kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Nĩ kaba mũndũ ũcio atangĩaciarirwo.”
Sibili iNdodana yomuntu ihamba, njengokulotshiweyo ngayo; kodwa maye kulowomuntu iNdodana yomuntu enikelwa nguye! Bekungakuhle kuye aluba lowomuntu wayengazalwanga.
25 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Judasi, ũrĩa mũmũkunyanĩri, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ti-itherũ nĩ niĩ?” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩwe.”
Wasephendula uJudasi owamnikelayo wathi: Rabi, ayisimi, akunjalo yini? Wathi kuye: Utshilo wena.
26 Na rĩrĩa maarĩĩaga, Jesũ akĩoya mũgate, agĩcookia ngaatho, akĩwenyũranga, akĩhe arutwo ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Oyai mũrĩe; ũyũ nĩ mwĩrĩ wakwa.”
Kwathi besidla, uJesu wathatha isinkwa, wasesibusisa, wasihlephula wabanika abafundi, wathi: Thathani, lidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami.
27 Agĩcooka akĩoya gĩkombe, agĩcookia ngaatho, akĩmanengera, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nyuanĩrai inyuothe.
Wasethatha inkezo, wabonga, wabanika, esithi: Nathani lonke kuyo;
28 Ĩno nĩyo thakame yakwa ya kĩrĩkanĩro, ĩrĩa ĩgũitwo nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aingĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kũrekanĩrwo kwa mehia.
ngoba lokhu kuligazi lami, elesivumelwano esitsha, elichithelwa abanengi kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono.
29 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ndikũnyua rĩngĩ ndibei ya maciaro ma mũthabibũ kuuma rĩu nginya mũthenya ũrĩa ngaamĩnyuanĩra na inyuĩ ĩrĩ njerũ ũthamaki-inĩ wa Baba.”
Kodwa ngithi kini: Kusukela khathesi kangiyikunatha okwalesisithelo sevini, kuze kufike lolosuku lapho ngizasinatha lani sisitsha embusweni kaBaba.
30 Na maarĩkia kũina rwĩmbo-rĩ, makiumagara magĩthiĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ.
Kwathi sebehlabele ingoma yokudumisa baphuma baya entabeni yeMihlwathi.
31 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũtukũ wa ũmũthĩ inyuothe nĩmũrĩĩndirika nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩngaringa mũrĩithi, nacio ngʼondu cia rũũru ihurunjũke.’
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lina lonke lizakhubeka ngami ngalobubusuku; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngizatshaya umelusi, izimvu zomhlambi besezihlakazeka.
32 No ndariũkio-rĩ, nĩngamũtongoria gũthiĩ Galili.”
Kodwa emva kokuvuswa kwami, ngizalandulela ukuya eGalili.
33 No Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O na arĩa angĩ othe mangĩgũtirika, niĩ ndigagũtirika.”
Kodwa uPetro waphendula wathi kuye: Lanxa bonke bezakhubeka ngawe, mina angisoze ngikhubeke.
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũmũthĩ, ũtukũ o ũyũ ngũkũ ĩtanakũga, ũrĩkorwo ũngaanĩte maita matatũ.”
UJesu wathi kuye: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Ngalobubusuku, lingakakhali iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu.
35 No Petero akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na angĩkorwo nĩgũkua ndĩkuanĩra nawe, niĩ ndingĩgũkaana.” Nao arutwo arĩa angĩ othe makiuga o ũguo.
UPetro wathi kuye: Loba kudingeka ngife lawe, angisoze ngikuphike. Basebesitsho njalo bonke abafundi.
36 Ningĩ Jesũ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ na arutwo ake handũ heetagwo Gethisemane, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ikarai haha, na niĩ thiĩ haarĩa ngahooe.”
UJesu wasefika labo endaweni ethiwa yiGetsemane, wasesithi kubafundi: Hlalani phansi lapha, ngisayakhuleka laphaya.
37 Agĩthiĩ na Petero, na ariũ arĩa eerĩ a Zebedi, nake akĩambĩrĩria kũigua kĩeha na gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro.
Wasethatha kanye laye uPetro lamadodana amabili kaZebediya, waqala ukudabuka lokukhathazeka kakhulu.
38 Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ na kĩeha mũno, o hakuhĩ gũkua. Ikarai haha mwĩiguĩte hamwe na niĩ.”
Wasesithi kubo: Umphefumulo wami udabukile kakhulu kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha lilinde lami.
39 Agĩthiiathiia, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, akĩhooya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, kũngĩhoteka-rĩ, njehereria gĩkombe gĩkĩ. No ti ũrĩa niĩ ngwenda, no nĩ ũrĩa wee ũkwenda.”
Waseqhubeka ibangana, wawa ngobuso bakhe wakhuleka wathi: Baba, uba kungenzeka, kakudlule kimi linkezo; kodwa kungabi njengoba ngithanda mina, kodwa njengoba uthanda wena.
40 Hĩndĩ ĩyo agĩcooka kũrĩ arutwo ake, agĩkora makomete, akĩũria Petero atĩrĩ, “Mũtingĩhota gũikara ithaa rĩmwe mwĩiguĩte hamwe na niĩ?
Wasesiza kubafundi, wabafica belele, wathi kuPetro: Kanti belingelinde lami ihola ibenye?
41 Mwĩhũgei na mũhooe nĩguo mũtikagwe magerio-inĩ. Ngoro nĩyenda, no mwĩrĩ ndũrĩ na hinya.”
Lindani likhuleke, ukuze lingangeni ekulingweni; umoya isibili uyavuma, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka.
42 Jesũ agĩthiĩ riita rĩa keerĩ, akĩhooya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, angĩkorwo gũtingĩhoteka njehererio gĩkombe gĩkĩ itakĩnyuĩrĩire-rĩ, wendi waku ũrohingio.”
Wabuya wasuka ngokwesibili wakhuleka, wathi: Baba, uba inkezo le ingedlule kimi, ngaphandle kokuthi ngiyinathe, kayenziwe intando yakho.
43 Aacooka rĩngĩ akĩmakora makomete, tondũ nĩmahĩtĩtwo nĩ toro.
Wasebuya wabafica futhi belele, ngoba amehlo abo ayenzima.
44 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmatiga, agĩthiĩ, akĩhooya rĩngĩ riita rĩa gatatũ, akiuga ciugo o ro icio.
Wasebatshiya wahamba futhi wakhuleka ngokwesithathu, esitsho wona lawomazwi.
45 Ningĩ agĩcooka kũrĩ arutwo akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na rĩu mũrĩ o toro mũhurũkĩte? Atĩrĩrĩ, ihinda rĩ hakuhĩ, na Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakunyanĩirwo moko-inĩ ma andũ ehia.
Wasesiza kubafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Qhubekani lilele, liphumule; khangelani, isikhathi sesisondele, futhi iNdodana yomuntu iyanikelwa ezandleni zezoni.
46 Ũkĩrai, tũthiĩ! Ũrĩa ũkũngunyanĩra nĩarooka!”
Sukumani, sihambe; khangelani, onginikelayo useduze.
47 O akĩaragia-rĩ, Judasi, ũmwe wa arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, agĩkinya. Ookire na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ, marĩ na hiũ cia njora na njũgũma, matũmĩtwo nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri a kĩama.
Kwathi esakhuluma, khangela, kwafika uJudasi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili, lexuku elikhulu lilaye elilezinkemba lezinduku, livela kubapristi abakhulu labadala babantu.
48 Na rĩrĩ, ũcio wamũkunyanĩire nĩamaheete kĩmenyithia gĩkĩ: “Ũrĩa ndĩmumunya, ũcio nĩwe, mũnyiitei.”
Laye omnikelayo wayebanike isiboniso, esithi: Lowo engizamanga, nguye; limbambe.
49 Nake Judasi agĩthiĩ harĩ Jesũ o rĩmwe, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ũrĩ mũhoro!” na akĩmũmumunya.
Njalo wahle wasondela kuJesu wathi: Mpilo enhle, Rabi! Wasemanga.
50 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũrata wakwa, ĩka ũrĩa ũũkire gwĩka.” Nao andũ acio makĩmũguthũkĩra, makĩmũnyiita.
UJesu wasesithi kuye: Mngane, ulandeni? Basebesondela bamdumela uJesu ngezandla, bambamba.
51 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa maarĩ na Jesũ agĩcomora rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, agĩtinia gũtũ kwa ndungata ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
Futhi khangela, omunye walabo ababeloJesu welula isandla, wakhokha inkemba yakhe, wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu waquma indlebe yayo.
52 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cookia rũhiũ rwaku njora nĩgũkorwo arĩa othe macomoraga rũhiũ makaaniinwo na rũhiũ.
UJesu wasesithi kuye: Buyisela inkemba yakho endaweni yayo; ngoba bonke abaphatha inkemba bazabhubha ngenkemba.
53 Kana ũgwĩciiria ndingĩhota kũhooya Baba, na o rĩmwe andũmĩre araika makĩria ya mbũtũ ikũmi na igĩrĩ?
Kumbe ucabanga ukuthi ngingemcele uBaba yini khathesi, futhi anginike amabutho amakhulu ezingilosi edlula itshumi lambili?
54 No rĩrĩ, Maandĩko mangĩkĩhinga atĩa marĩa moigĩte atĩ ũndũ ũyũ no nginya ũhinge na njĩra ĩno?”
Pho ingagcwaliseka njani imibhalo, ukuthi kumele ukuthi kube njalo?
55 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩũria kĩrĩndĩ kĩu atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndĩ mũtongoria wa akararia a watho, atĩ nĩkĩo muoka mũũnyiite mũrĩ na hiũ cia njora na njũgũma? O mũthenya ndĩrakoragwo hekarũ-inĩ ngĩrutana, na mũtingĩĩnyiita.
Ngalelohola uJesu wathi emaxukwini: Liphume njengokuyamelana lomphangi yini lilezinkemba lezinduku ukuzangibamba? Bengihlezi insuku ngensuku ethempelini ngifundisa, kodwa kalingibambanga.
56 No ũndũ ũyũ wothe wĩkĩkĩĩte nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa waandĩkĩtwo nĩ anabii ũhinge.” Nao arutwo othe makĩmũtiganĩria, makĩũra.
Kodwa konke lokhu kwenzakele, ukuze kugcwaliseke imibhalo yabaprofethi. Basebemtshiya bonke abafundi babaleka.
57 Nao acio maanyiitire Jesũ makĩmũtwara gwa Kaiafa, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, kũrĩa arutani a watho na athuuri moonganĩte.
Lababembambile uJesu bamqhuba bamusa kuKayafasi umpristi omkhulu, lapho ababebuthene khona ababhali labadala.
58 Nowe Petero akĩmũrũmĩrĩra arĩ haraaya, o nginya agĩkinya nja ya kwa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũnene. Agĩtoonya agĩikarania na arangĩri nĩguo amenye ũrĩa ũhoro ũgũthiĩ.
Kodwa uPetro wamlandela ekhatshana, kwaze kwaba segumeni lompristi omkhulu, njalo wangena phakathi wahlala phansi lezinceku, ukuze abone isicino.
59 Na rĩrĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Kĩama kĩrĩa Kĩnene gĩothe nĩmacarĩrĩirie ũira wa maheeni nĩguo mamũũragithie.
Njalo abapristi abakhulu labadala lomphakathi wonke badinga ubufakazi bamanga obumelana loJesu, ukuze bambulale,
60 No makĩaga ũira ta ũcio, o na gũkorwo andũ aingĩ nĩmarutĩte ũira wa maheeni. Thuutha-inĩ andũ eerĩ makĩrũgama,
kodwa kababutholanga; lanxa kwavela abafakazi abanengi bamanga, ababutholanga. Kwathi emva kwalokho kwavela ababili abafakazi bamanga,
61 makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩoigire atĩrĩ, ‘No hote gũtharia hekarũ ya Ngai, na ndĩmĩake rĩngĩ na mĩthenya ĩtatũ.’”
bathi: Lo wathi: Ngilakho ukudiliza ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, njalo ngilakhe ngensuku ezintathu.
62 Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akĩrũgama, akĩũria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũtarĩ na ũndũ ũgũtũcookeria? Nĩ ũhoro ũrĩkũ ũyũ ũrathitangĩrwo?”
Kwasekusukuma umpristi omkhulu wathi kuye: Kawuphenduli lutho yini? Bafakazani laba okumelana lawe?
63 No Jesũ agĩkira ki. Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndakwĩhĩtithia na Ngai ũrĩa wĩ muoyo: Twĩre kana wee nĩwe Kristũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
Kodwa uJesu wathula. Umpristi omkhulu wasephendula wathi kuye: Ngikufungisa ngoNkulunkulu ophilayo, ukuthi usitshele ukuthi unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
64 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, wee nĩwoiga, no ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, inyuĩ inyuothe nĩmũkona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ aikarĩte guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Hinya, agĩũka arĩ igũrũ rĩa matu.”
UJesu wathi kuye: Utshilo wena. Kodwa ngithi kini: Kusukela khathesi lizabona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene samandla isiza phezu kwamayezi ezulu.
65 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũnene agĩtembũranga nguo ciake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩaruma Ngai! Tũgũkĩbatario nĩ aira angĩ aakĩ? Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ nĩmweiguĩra akĩruma Ngai.
Umpristi omkhulu wasedabula izembatho zakhe, wathi: Usehlambazile; sisadingelani abafakazi? Khangelani, khathesi seliyizwile inhlamba yakhe;
66 Mũgwĩciiria atĩa?” Magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũũragwo.”
licabangani? Basebephendula besithi: Ulecala lokufa.
67 Magĩcooka makĩmũtuĩra mata ũthiũ, na makĩmũhũũra na ngundi. Angĩ makĩmũhũũra na hĩ,
Basebemkhafulela amathe ebusweni bamdutshuza; labanye bamwakala,
68 makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Kristũ, tũrathĩre ũhoro ũtwĩre, nũũ wakũgũtha!”
bathi: Profetha kithi, Kristu, ngubani okutshayileyo?
69 Na rĩrĩ, Petero aikarĩte nja, nake mũirĩtu warĩ ndungata akĩmũkora, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “O nawe uuma hamwe na Jesũ ũcio wa Galili.”
UPetro wayesehlezi ngaphandle egumeni; kwasekusiza kuye incekukazi ethile, yathi: Lawe ubuloJesu weGalili.
70 Nowe agĩkaana ũhoro ũcio mbere yao othe, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ ũrĩa ũroiga.”
Kodwa waphika phambi kwabo bonke, wathi: Kangikwazi lokho okutshoyo.
71 Ningĩ akiumagara, agĩthiĩ kĩhingo-inĩ, harĩa mũirĩtu ũngĩ aamuonire, akĩĩra andũ arĩa maarĩ hau atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ moima na Jesũ wa Nazarethi.”
Kwathi esephuma esiya esangweni, enye incekukazi yambona, yathi kwababekhona: Laye lo ubeloJesu weNazaretha.
72 Agĩkaana ũhoro ũcio o rĩngĩ, na akĩĩhĩta, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ mũndũ ũcio!”
Waphika njalo ngesifungo esithi: Kangimazi lumuntu.
73 Thuutha wa kahinda kanini, arĩa maarũgamĩte hau magĩthiĩ harĩ Petero, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ wee ũrĩ ũmwe wao, tondũ mwarĩrie waku nĩũrakumbũra.”
Kwathi emva kwesikhatshana labo ababemi khona basondela bathi kuPetro: Ngeqiniso lawe ungowabo; ngoba lokukhuluma kwakho kuyakuveza.
74 Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwĩhĩta, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ mũndũ ũcio ndimũũĩ!” Kahinda o kau ngũkũ ĩgĩkũga.
Waseqala ukuqalekisa lokufunga esithi: Kangimazi lumuntu. Njalo lahle lakhala iqhude.
75 Nake Petero akĩririkana ũhoro ũrĩa Jesũ aamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Ngũkũ ĩtanakũga, ũrĩkorwo ũngaanĩte maita matatũ.” Akiuma nja, akĩrĩra mũno.
UPetro wasekhumbula ilizwi likaJesu esithi kuye: Lingakakhali iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu. Wasephumela ngaphandle wakhala kabuhlungu.
