1 UJesu esekhulumile lezizinto waphuma kanye labafundi bakhewaya ngaphetsheya kwesifudlana iKidroni, lapho okwakukhona isivande, angena kuso yena labafundi bakhe.
Mbe ejile amala Yesu okwaika emisango jinu, aulukile na bheigisibwa bhaye nibhambuka mwitina lya Kidron, enu chaliga chili echilabho, eyo omwene na bheigisibwa bhaye bhengiye omwo.
2 Njalo uJudasi laye, owamnikelayo, wayeyazi lindawo; ngoba uJesu wayebuthana khona labafundi bakhe kanengi.
Woli Yuda, unu endaga okumulomela iniku, nawe aliga amenyele eyo, okubha Yesu aliga najayo eyo kwiya kafu nabheigisibwa bhaye.
3 Ngakho uJudasi, esethethe isigaba samabutho, labancedisi abavela kubapristi abakhulu labaFarisi, waya khona belezibane lamalambi lezikhali.
Nawe Yuda ajile abhona echise cha bhasilikale na bhaofisa osoka kubhakulu bha bhagabhisi, bhejile bhali na jitala, gimuli nebhigwato.
4 Kwathi uJesu, ekwazi konke okwakuzamehlela, waphuma wathi kubo: Lidinga bani?
Nawe Yesu, okubha amenyele bhuli chinu echochaliga nichikolekana kumwene, naja imbele yebwe nabhabhusha ati,”Niga oyo omuyenja?”
5 Bamphendula bathi: UJesu weNazaretha. UJesu wathi kubo: Mina nginguye. LoJudasi owamnikelayo laye wayemi labo.
Abhene nibhamusubya ati,” Yesu Omunazareti.” Yesu nabhabwila ati,”Anye niwe”Nawe Yuda oyo amulomeye iniku, aliga emeleguyu amwi nabhasilikale.
6 Ngakho kuthe esithi kubo: Mina nginguye; bahlehla nyovane, bawela phansi.
Kulwejo ejile abhabwila ati,” Anye niwe” bhasubhile inyuma nibhagwa asi. Mbe
7 Wasephinda wababuza wathi: Lidinga bani? Basebesithi: UJesu weNazaretha.
nabhabhusha lindi ati,” Niga oyo omuyenja? Abhene nibhamusubya lindi” Yesu omunazareti.”
8 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngilitshelile ukuthi mina nginguye; ngakho uba lidinga mina, yekelani laba bahambe;
Yesu nasubya ati,” Namalile okubhabwila ati Nanye; Kulwejo labha omuyenja anye, mubhasige bhanu abhandi bhagende.”
9 ukuze ligcwaliseke ilizwi ayelikhulumile elokuthi: Kulabo owanginika bona, angilahlekelwanga lamunye wabo.
Ganu galiga gali kutyo koleleki guliya omusango gukumile; ao aikile ati;”Kubhanu ulanaye, nitamubhusishe nolo umwi.”
10 Kwathi uSimoni Petro elenkemba wayihwatsha, wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu, waquma indlebe yayo yokunene. Lebizo lenceku lalinguMalikusi.
Niwo Simoni Petro, unu aliga ali ne chigwato, nenamusha namutema okutwi kwo bhulyo omukosi wo mugabhisi omukulu. Na lisina lyaye omukosi uliya aliga Malko.
11 UJesu wasesithi kuPetro: Faka inkemba yakho esikhwameni; inkezo uBaba anginike yona, kangiyikuyinatha yini?
Yesu namubwila Petro ati,” Subyamo echigwato chao muchibhikilo chaye. Kubhaki nisige okuchinywela echikombe chiliya echoanaye Lata?”
12 Ngakho isigaba samabutho lenduna labancedisi bamaJuda bambamba uJesu, bambopha,
Mbe echisecha bhasilikale no mukulu webwe, na bhakosi bha bhayaudi, bhamugwatile Yesu nibhamubhoya.
13 basebemusa kuqala kuAnasi; ngoba wayenguyisezala kaKayafasi, owayengumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka.
Nabho nibhamutangasha okukinga ku Anasi, okubha omwene aligali esebhuko Kayafa, unu aliga mugabhisi omukulu omwaka ogwo.
14 Kwakunguye uKayafasi owayecebise amaJuda, ukuthi kwakulungile ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele isizwe.
Woli Kayafa niwe aliga abhayaye obwenge abhayaudi ati kwiyile omunu umwi okufwila abhanu.
15 USimoni Petro wasemlandela uJesu, lomunye umfundi. Lalowomfundi wayesaziwa ngumpristi omkhulu, wangena loJesu egumeni lompristi omkhulu;
Mbe Simoni Perto namulubha Yesu, na kutyo omwiigisibwa oundi. Na uliya omwiigisibwa aliga amenyelwe ku mugabhisi omukulu, nawe nengila amwi na Yesu mulugo lwo mugabhisi omukulu;
16 kodwa uPetro wayemi ngaphandle emnyango. Wasephuma lowomfundi omunye owayesaziwa ngumpristi omkhulu, wasekhuluma lomlindisangokazi, wamngenisa uPetro.
Nawe petro aliga emeleguyu anja yo lwigi. Mbe uliya omwiigisibwa oyoaliga amenyelwe ku mugabhisi omukulu, nauluka anja nagenda okwaika na uliya omuyala omukosi oyo egalaga olwigi namwingisha Petro munda.
17 Incekukazi encane engumlindisango yasisithi kuPetro: Kawusuye lawe omunye wabafundi balumuntu yini? Yena wathi: Kangisuye.
Mbe uliya omuyala aliga mwigasi wo lwigi, namubhila Petro ati,” Awe utali umwi wa bheigisibwa bho munu unu?”Omwene naika ati,” Anye uli.”
18 Njalo izinceku labancedisi babemi bebase umlilo wamalahle, ngoba kwakumakhaza, njalo besotha; uPetro laye wayemi labo esotha.
Abhakosi na bhakulu bhaliya bhaliga bhemeleguyu ao; bhakongesishe omulilo okubha yaliga mbeo, na kutyo bhaliga mbabhila omulilo koleleki bhabhone libhila. Nawe Petro aliga ali nabho, nabhila omulilo emeleguyu.
19 Umpristi omkhulu wasembuza uJesu ngabafundi bakhe, langemfundiso yakhe.
mugabhisi omukulu namubhusha Yesu ingulu ya bheigisibwa bhaye na meigisho gaye.
20 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Mina ngikhulume obala emhlabeni; ngezikhathi zonke mina bengifundisa esinagogeni lethempelini, lapho amaJuda abuthana khona ngesikhathi sonke, njalo kangikhulumanga lutho ensitha.
Yesu namusubya ati,” Nasimuliye abwelu abhanyachalo; Anye neigisishe kusiku mumekofyanya na muyekalu munu abhayaudi abhekofyanyishaga. Anye Nitaikile gwona gwona mumbisike.
21 Ubuzelani kimi? Buza labo abakuzwayo lokho engakukhuluma labo; khangela, bona bayazazi izinto mina engazitshoyo.
Kulwa ki omumbusha? Mubhabhushe bhanu bhanyugwaga ingulu ya chiliya echonaikile. Abhanu bhanu abhamenya emisango jiliya ejonaikile
22 Kwathi esetshilo lezizinto, omunye wabancedisi owayemi khona wamwakala uJesu, esithi: Kanti uphendula njalo umpristi omkhulu?
Yesu ejile amala okwaika kutyo, omwi wa bhakulu oyo aliga emeleguyu namubhuma Yesu kwo kubhoko kwaye neya naika ati,” nikwo kutyo kwiyile okumusubya omugabhisi omukulu?”
23 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uba ngikhulume kubi, fakaza ngobubi; kodwa uba kuhle, ungitshayelani?
Nawe Yesu namusubya ati,” labha naika omusango gunu guli mubhibhi mbe ubhe mubhambasi kulubhaju lwo bhunyamuke, alabha nasubya kisi kulwaki umbume?
24 UAnasi wasemthuma ebotshiwe kuKayafasi umpristi omkhulu.
Niwo Anasi namusila Yesu kukayafa omugabhisi omukulu abhoyelwe.
25 Kodwa uSimoni Petro wayemi esotha; basebesithi kuye: Kawusuye lawe omunye wabafundi bakhe yini? Waphika yena, wathi: Kangisuye.
Woli Simoni Petro aliga emeleguyu nabhila omulilo omwene. abhanu bhaliya nibhamubwila ati.”Awe, utali umwi wa bheigisibwa bhaye?” Nalema naika ati” Anye uli.”
26 Omunye wezinceku zompristi omkhulu, oyisinini somuntu uPetro aquma indlebe yakhe, wathi: Mina kangikubonanga yini esivandeni ulaye?
Oumwi wa bhakosi bho mugabhisi omukulu oyo aliga luganda lwa uliya omulume oyo Petro amutemele okutwi, naika ati,” Atali awe unu nakulolele nage muchilabho?”
27 UPetro wasebuya ephika; njalo lahle lakhala iqhude.
Petro nalema lindi, ao ing'oko nikokolima.
28 Basebemkhupha uJesu kuKayafasi bamusa endlini yombusi; njalo kwakusekuseni, kodwa kabangenanga bona endlini yombusi, ukuze bangangcoli, kodwa ukuze badle iphasika.
Mbe nibhamugega Yesu kusoka kukayafa kukinga mwilomelo. Yaliga katondo. abhene bhatengiye muliya mwilomelo koleleki bhataja kwilabhula no kuilya ipasaka.
29 Ngakho uPilatu waphumela kubo, wathi: Limbeka cala bani lumuntu?
Kulwejo Pilato nabhalubha naika ati.” Ni ntambalaki inu eyendela omunu unu?”
30 Basebephendula bathi kuye: Uba lo ubengesuye owenza okubi, ngabe kasimnikelanga kuwe.
Nibhamusubya no kumubwila ati,”Alabha omunu unu atakolele obhunyamuke, chitakamuletele kwawe.”
31 UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limahlulele njengomlayo wakini. Ngakho amaJuda athi kuye: Kakuvunyelwa kithi ukubulala umuntu;
Pilato nabhabwila ati,” Mumugege emwe abhene mumulamula okwingana nebhilagilo byemwe.” nabho abhayaudi nibhamubwila ati,”echilagilo chitakwilisha eswe okwita omunu wonawona.”
32 ukuze kugcwaliseke ilizwi uJesu alikhulumayo, ukutshengisa uhlobo lokufa ayezakufa ngalo.
Bhaikile ganu koleleki omusango gwa Yesu gukumile, omusango ogwo aliga amalile okugwaika ingulu yo lufu lyaye.
33 Ngakho uPilatu wabuye wangena endlini yombusi, wambiza uJesu, wathi kuye: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini?
Mbe Pilato nengila lindi mwilomelo namubhilikila Yesu; namubwila ati,” Mbe awe ulimukama wa Bhayaudi?”
34 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uyazitsholo lokhu wena yini, kumbe abanye bakutshelile ngami?
Yesu namusubya ati,” Mbe awe ousubya ati obwaiki bhunu kwo kubha owenda okumenya okubha abhandi bhakutumile bhambushe anye?”
35 UPilatu waphendula wathi: Kanti ngingumJuda mina? Isizwe sakini labapristi abakhulu bakunikele kimi; wenzeni?
Pilato namusubya ati,” Anye ntali Muyaudi?” Liyanga lyao no mugabhisi omukulu nibho bhakuletele kwanye; awe wamakolaki?
36 UJesu waphendula wathi: Umbuso wami kawusiwo walumhlaba; uba umbuso wami ubungowalumhlaba, inceku zami bezizakulwa, ukuze nginganikelwa kumaJuda; kodwa khathesi umbuso wami kawusiwo owalapha.
Yesu nasubya ati; “Obhukama bwani bhutali bwe chalo chinu, alabha obhukama bwani bwakabheye bwe chalo chinu abhagaya bhani bhakandwaniye koleleki nisigeokusosibwa kubhayaudi. Ni chimali obhukama bwani bhutakusoka anu.”
37 UPilatu wasesithi kuye: Ngakho uyinkosi yini? UJesu waphendula wathi: Uyatsho wena, ukuthi mina ngiyinkosi. Mina ngazalelwa lokhu, njalo ngizele lokhu emhlabeni, ukuze ngifakazele iqiniso. Wonke oweqiniso uyalizwa ilizwi lami.
Mbe Pilato namubwila ati Mbe awe ulimukama?” Yesu nasubya ati,” awe nikwo owaika anye ni mukama, Kwo kubha anye nibhuwe okubha anye nejile muchalo koleleki nibhe mubhambasi we chimali. Wona wona oyo ali wechimali kategelesha obhulaka bwani.
38 UPilatu wathi kuye: Liyini iqiniso? Kwathi esetshilo lokhu, wabuya waphumela kumaJuda, wathi kuwo: Mina kangitholi lacala kuye.
Pilato namubwila ati, echimali niki?” Nawe ejili amala okwaika ganu nadenga Kubhayaudi nabhabwila ati, Anye nitakulola lyona lyona kumunu unu.
39 Kodwa lilomkhuba, wokuthi ngilikhululele omunye ngephasika; ngakho liyathanda ukuthi ngilikhululele iNkosi yamaJuda yini?
Emwe muli naintungwa eyo enikola nimutatile omubwoywa umwi omwanya gwa ipasaka. Mbe omwenda nimutatile omukama wa bhayaudi.”
40 Wonke asememeza futhi, athi: Hatshi lo, kodwa uBarabasi; kodwa uBarabasi wayengumphangi.
Mbe nibheya nibhamwaya obhulaka nibhaika ati, atali unu, mutatilile Balaba.” Nawe Balaba aliga omusakusi.
