1 UJesu esekhulumile lezizinto waphuma kanye labafundi bakhewaya ngaphetsheya kwesifudlana iKidroni, lapho okwakukhona isivande, angena kuso yena labafundi bakhe.
O Yesu nayanga enongwa ezi, asogoye na bhanafunzi bhakwe ahwenyezye entebha ye Kidron, hwa hwali ne bustani, huula omwene na bhanafunzi bhakwe bhahinjila muhati yakwe.
2 Njalo uJudasi laye, owamnikelayo, wayeyazi lindawo; ngoba uJesu wayebuthana khona labafundi bakhe kanengi.
Esheshi ola oYuda, wahanzaga ahugalushe, wope aimenye eshemu eyo, afuatanaje oYesu abhalaga husehemu ela mara hahinji abhalaga na bhanafunzi bhakwe.
3 Ngakho uJudasi, esethethe isigaba samabutho, labancedisi abavela kubapristi abakhulu labaFarisi, waya khona belezibane lamalambi lezikhali.
Wope oYuda, nawapata ikundi lya sikari na maofisa afume hwa gosi adimi bhahenza ne tala, ikurunzi ne silaha.
4 Kwathi uJesu, ekwazi konke okwakuzamehlela, waphuma wathi kubo: Lidinga bani?
Wope oYesu, ohu amenye shila hantu hahali habhombeha zaidi yakwe ahwifumizye hwitazi na abhabhozya, “Wenu wamuhumwanza?”
5 Bamphendula bathi: UJesu weNazaretha. UJesu wathi kubo: Mina nginguye. LoJudasi owamnikelayo laye wayemi labo.
Wope wajile, oYesu Mnazareti.” O Yesu abhabhozya, “Ane nene” Wope oYuda wagalushe oYesu ahali ayemeleye na asikari bhala.
6 Ngakho kuthe esithi kubo: Mina nginguye; bahlehla nyovane, bawela phansi.
Eshi eshi embabhozya, “Ane nene” bhawela shingunga bhagwa pansi.
7 Wasephinda wababuza wathi: Lidinga bani? Basebesithi: UJesu weNazaretha.
Wabhabhozya nantele, “Wenu wa muhumwanza? Bhope waga nantele “oYesu Munazareti.”
8 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngilitshelile ukuthi mina nginguye; ngakho uba lidinga mina, yekelani laba bahambe;
O Yesu wabhobhozya, “Embabhozezye aje ana nene; eshi nkashe munaanza ane, bhaleshi ebha abhnje bhabhalaje.”
9 ukuze ligcwaliseke ilizwi ayelikhulumile elokuthi: Kulabo owanginika bona, angilahlekelwanga lamunye wabo.
Ega gali esho aje lila izu likamilishe; pala nayangaga; hwa bhala bhohampiye, senatezizye hata weka.”
10 Kwathi uSimoni Petro elenkemba wayihwatsha, wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu, waquma indlebe yayo yokunene. Lebizo lenceku lalinguMalikusi.
O Simoni Petro, waali ni panga, wega nahudumule ikutu lya hundeelo oboyi wa Dimi ogosi. Ni tawa lyakwe oboyi ola ali yo Malko.
11 UJesu wasesithi kuPetro: Faka inkemba yakho esikhwameni; inkezo uBaba anginike yona, kangiyikuyinatha yini?
O Yesu abhozya oPetro, “Wezya ipanga lyaho hu ala yakwe. Yenu ensamwelee eshikombe shila shampiye oDaada?”
12 Ngakho isigaba samabutho lenduna labancedisi bamaJuda bambamba uJesu, bambopha,
Eshi lila ikundi lya skari na jemedari, na boyi bha Yahudi, bhakhata oYesu na hupinye.
13 basebemusa kuqala kuAnasi; ngoba wayenguyisezala kaKayafasi, owayengumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka.
Wope walongola nasoti pa hwa Anasi, amwane ali khoi wa Kayaafa, ola wali wa Dimi ogosi omwaha ogwo.
14 Kwakunguye uKayafasi owayecebise amaJuda, ukuthi kwakulungile ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele isizwe.
O Kayafa wabhapiye oushauri Ayahudi yahanziwaga aje omuntu omo afwe husababu ya bhantu.
15 USimoni Petro wasemlandela uJesu, lomunye umfundi. Lalowomfundi wayesaziwa ngumpristi omkhulu, wangena loJesu egumeni lompristi omkhulu;
O Simoni oPetro alondoleye oYesu, na shesho omwanafunzi wamwabho. Nola omwanafunzi ali afamahamiha hwa dimi ogosi, wope ahinjila pandwemo no Yesu mwibehewa ilya Chungaji ogosi;
16 kodwa uPetro wayemi ngaphandle emnyango. Wasephuma lowomfundi omunye owayesaziwa ngumpristi omkhulu, wasekhuluma lomlindisangokazi, wamngenisa uPetro.
o Petro ali ayemeleye honze hu ndiango. Ola omwanafunzi wa manyishe hwa dimi ogosi, afumile honze abhala ayanje nola oshe oboyi waalindaga ondiango na humwinjizye oPetro.
17 Incekukazi encane engumlindisango yasisithi kuPetro: Kawusuye lawe omunye wabafundi balumuntu yini? Yena wathi: Kangisuye.
Ola oboyi walindaga ondiango, abhozezye oPetro, “Aje awe solo pandwemo na bhantu bha muntu ono?” Wope ajile, “Ane wenje.”
18 Njalo izinceku labancedisi babemi bebase umlilo wamalahle, ngoba kwakumakhaza, njalo besotha; uPetro laye wayemi labo esotha.
Na bhala aboyi bha gosi bhahemeleye apantu pala; bhapembile omwoto afuatanaje hwali isasa, na shesho bhali bhahwota omwoto aje apate ilyoto. Wope oPetro ali nabho, ahwote omwoto ali ayemeleye.
19 Umpristi omkhulu wasembuza uJesu ngabafundi bakhe, langemfundiso yakhe.
Odimi ogosi abhozezye oYesu ahusu abhanafunzi bhakwe ne nsambelezyo zyakwe.
20 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Mina ngikhulume obala emhlabeni; ngezikhathi zonke mina bengifundisa esinagogeni lethempelini, lapho amaJuda abuthana khona ngesikhathi sonke, njalo kangikhulumanga lutho ensitha.
O Yesu ajile, “Enjebho zyezye pazelu ensi; Ane na sambelezezye wilawila mshibhanza na pantu pala Ayahudi pabhabhonganaga. Nane senayanjile lyalyonti.
21 Ubuzelani kimi? Buza labo abakuzwayo lokho engakukhuluma labo; khangela, bona bayazazi izinto mina engazitshoyo.
Yenu mwabhozezyaga? Bhabhozyaji ahusu hala hanayanjile. Ebha abhantu bhamenye amambo gananjile.
22 Kwathi esetshilo lezizinto, omunye wabancedisi owayemi khona wamwakala uJesu, esithi: Kanti uphendula njalo umpristi omkhulu?
O Yesu nahayanga ezyo, omo wa gosi ali ayemeleye wa khoma oYesu hu khono ogwakwe na pamande waga, “Esho, shashi hwanziwa ahugamule odimi ogosi?”
23 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uba ngikhulume kubi, fakaza ngobubi; kodwa uba kuhle, ungitshayelani?
Wope oYesu ajile, “Nkashe enjanjile enongwa zyazyonti embibhi obhe keti hwego amabhibhi, na nkashe egomoye shinza yenu ekhomwa?
24 UAnasi wasemthuma ebotshiwe kuKayafasi umpristi omkhulu.
O Anasi atwala oYesu hwa Kayafa hwa chungaji ogosi ali afungulwe.
25 Kodwa uSimoni Petro wayemi esotha; basebesithi kuye: Kawusuye lawe omunye wabafundi bakhe yini? Waphika yena, wathi: Kangisuye.
O Simoni oPetro ali ayemeleye wahwikosya ilyoto yoyo. Bhala abhantu bhabhozya. “Aje, awe nawe soli pandwemo na bhanafunzi bhakwe?” Wakhana waga, “Ane weenje.”
26 Omunye wezinceku zompristi omkhulu, oyisinini somuntu uPetro aquma indlebe yakhe, wathi: Mina kangikubonanga yini esivandeni ulaye?
Omo omo waboyi bhachungaji ogosi, waali holo wa lume waadulwe ikutu, ajile, “Se wewe elolile hula hu bustani?”
27 UPetro wasebuya ephika; njalo lahle lakhala iqhude.
O Petro akhana nantele, na Ehanda ahekuga.
28 Basebemkhupha uJesu kuKayafasi bamusa endlini yombusi; njalo kwakusekuseni, kodwa kabangenanga bona endlini yombusi, ukuze bangangcoli, kodwa ukuze badle iphasika.
Bhahamwega oYesu afume hwa Kayafa paka hu Praitorio. Hwali shapwiti na mazansha. Abhene bhebho sebhahinjiye ePraitorio bhasiye ahwiyonvwe ailye epasaka.
29 Ngakho uPilatu waphumela kubo, wathi: Limbeka cala bani lumuntu?
O Pilato abhabhalilia ahayanga. “Ahaga listako bhole lyalihuhusu omuntu ono?”
30 Basebephendula bathi kuye: Uba lo ubengesuye owenza okubi, ngabe kasimnikelanga kuwe.
Bhayanga na hubhozye, “Nkashe ono muntu agalisebhomba mbibhi, handa setiletile huliwe.”
31 UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limahlulele njengomlayo wakini. Ngakho amaJuda athi kuye: Kakuvunyelwa kithi ukubulala umuntu;
O Pilato abhabhozya, “Mweji amwe mwemwe, mulonje alengane nendijizyo zyenyu bhope.” Ayahudi bhabhozya, “Endajizyo sezitibhozya abude omuntu wawonti.”
32 ukuze kugcwaliseke ilizwi uJesu alikhulumayo, ukutshengisa uhlobo lokufa ayezakufa ngalo.
Bhayanjile ezi aje izu lya Yesu likamilishe izu lya ayanjile ahusu enfwa yakwe.
33 Ngakho uPilatu wabuye wangena endlini yombusi, wambiza uJesu, wathi kuye: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini?
O Pilato ahinjila nantele hu Praitorio akwizya oYesu; ahabhozya, “Aje, awe oli mwene wa Ayahudi?”
34 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uyazitsholo lokhu wena yini, kumbe abanye bakutshelile ngami?
O Yesu ajile, “Aje, awe ombozya ni swali eli ohwanza amanye au afuatanaje bhatumile aje ombozye ane?”
35 UPilatu waphendula wathi: Kanti ngingumJuda mina? Isizwe sakini labapristi abakhulu bakunikele kimi; wenzeni?
Wope oPilato ajile, “Ane sendi Yahudi, aje seshashesho?” Ikabela lyenyu no chungaji ogosi ebho bhabhaletile huline; awe obhombile yenu?
36 UJesu waphendula wathi: Umbuso wami kawusiwo walumhlaba; uba umbuso wami ubungowalumhlaba, inceku zami bezizakulwa, ukuze nginganikelwa kumaJuda; kodwa khathesi umbuso wami kawusiwo owalapha.
O Yesu ajile; oumwene wane sewamu omu, nkashe oumwene wane ugaali wa munsi omu aboyi bhane handa bhahomaniye waganje anfume hwa Yahudi. Lyoli oumwene wane seufuma epa” Pansi
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.
O Pilato abhozya, “Aje awe eshi oli mwene?” O Yesu ajile, “awe shili shoyanga aje ane endi mwene, afuatana neshi napepwe alenganeshi ane enenzele munsi aje embe keti weela elyoli. Wawonti waali neyo elyoli elitejezya izu lyane.
38 UPilatu wathi kuye: Liyini iqiniso? Kwathi esetshilo lokhu, wabuya waphumela kumaJuda, wathi kuwo: Mina kangitholi lacala kuye.
O Pilato abhozya, “Elyoli yenu?” Wope nayanga ego ahabhala hwa Yahudi na bhabhozye “Selola nkahamo hwa muntu ono.
39 Kodwa lilomkhuba, wokuthi ngilikhululele omunye ngephasika; ngakho liyathanda ukuthi ngilikhululele iNkosi yamaJuda yini?
Amwe mulinoutamaduni wamubhomba emwegulile ofungwa omo owakati we Pasaka. Aje muhwanza aje embigulile omwene wa Yahudi.”
40 Wonke asememeza futhi, athi: Hatshi lo, kodwa uBarabasi; kodwa uBarabasi wayengumphangi.
Bhahomile ekelele bhaile, sio ono, tigulile oBaraba.” Wope oBaraba alifyozi.
