1 UJesu esekhulumile lezizinto waphuma kanye labafundi bakhewaya ngaphetsheya kwesifudlana iKidroni, lapho okwakukhona isivande, angena kuso yena labafundi bakhe.
UYesu ye amalile pikufuunya, akavuuka palikimo na vavulanisivua vaake, vakakila uluvonde ulwa Keduloni, vakingila mumughundo ughwa miseituni.
2 Njalo uJudasi laye, owamnikelayo, wayeyazi lindawo; ngoba uJesu wayebuthana khona labafundi bakhe kanengi.
UYuuda unya kumwohela uYesu, alyaghumanyile umughunda ughuo, ulwakuva kekinga uYesu na vavulanisivua vaake vakakong'hanagha apuo.
3 Ngakho uJudasi, esethethe isigaba samabutho, labancedisi abavela kubapristi abakhulu labaFarisi, waya khona belezibane lamalambi lezikhali.
Pe akakilongosia ikipugha kya vasikali na valoleleli kuhuma ku vavaha va vatekesi na ku Vafalisayi, akaluta navo mu mughunda kumo vakolile itaala, imuli ni filwilo.
4 Kwathi uJesu, ekwazi konke okwakuzamehlela, waphuma wathi kubo: Lidinga bani?
UYesu alyakagwile sooni sino kyasikumwagha, akaluta kuveene, akavaposia akati, “Mukumulonda veeni?”
5 Bamphendula bathi: UJesu weNazaretha. UJesu wathi kubo: Mina nginguye. LoJudasi owamnikelayo laye wayemi labo.
Pe aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Tukumulonda uYesu uMunasaleti.” UYesu akavavuula akati, “Neene” UYuda umwohesi alyimimile palikimo na vaanhu avuo.
6 Ngakho kuthe esithi kubo: Mina nginguye; bahlehla nyovane, bawela phansi.
UYesu ye avavulile kuuti, “Neene” vakagomoka kinsana nsana vakaghua.
7 Wasephinda wababuza wathi: Lidinga bani? Basebesithi: UJesu weNazaretha.
Kange akavaposia akati, “Mukumulonda veeni?” Vakamwamula vakati, “Tukumulonda uYesu uMunasaleti.”
8 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngilitshelile ukuthi mina nginguye; ngakho uba lidinga mina, yekelani laba bahambe;
UYesu akavamula akati, “Nivavulile kuuti neene. Lino nave mukundonda une, muvaleke avaanhu ava valutaghe.”
9 ukuze ligcwaliseke ilizwi ayelikhulumile elokuthi: Kulabo owanginika bona, angilahlekelwanga lamunye wabo.
UYesu akajovile enendiiki kukwilanisia sino alyajovile kuuti, “Vano ulyamheliile nanisofisie nambe jumo.
10 Kwathi uSimoni Petro elenkemba wayihwatsha, wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu, waquma indlebe yayo yokunene. Lebizo lenceku lalinguMalikusi.
USimoni uPeteli alyale ni bamba, akasomola, akadumula imbulughutu ija kundio ija m'bombi ughwa ntekesi um'baha. Um'bombi ujuo akatambuluagha Maluko.
11 UJesu wasesithi kuPetro: Faka inkemba yakho esikhwameni; inkezo uBaba anginike yona, kangiyikuyinatha yini?
Neke uYesu akam'buula uPeteli akati, “Gomosia ibamba jaako mu nyambe. Une ninoghiile kukwupila ulupumuko luno uNhaata anding'hanikisie?”
12 Ngakho isigaba samabutho lenduna labancedisi bamaJuda bambamba uJesu, bambopha,
Avasikali vala nu mbaha ghwave na valoleleli va valongosi va Vayahudi vakankola uYesu, vakankunga.
13 basebemusa kuqala kuAnasi; ngoba wayenguyisezala kaKayafasi, owayengumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka.
Vakantwala taasi kwa Hanasi, unkwive ghwa Kayafa. UKayafa ujuo alyale ghwe ntekesi umbaha unsiki ughuo.
14 Kwakunguye uKayafasi owayecebise amaJuda, ukuthi kwakulungile ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele isizwe.
Kange ghwe juno alyavavuulile aVayahudi kuuti, lunoghile umuunhu jumo afue vwimila avaanhu vooni.
15 USimoni Petro wasemlandela uJesu, lomunye umfundi. Lalowomfundi wayesaziwa ngumpristi omkhulu, wangena loJesu egumeni lompristi omkhulu;
USimoni uPeteli nu m'bulanisivua ujunge vakava vikum'bingilila uYesu mumbele. Umbulanisivua ujunge ujuo, alyakaguliike nu ntekesi um'baha, akingila palikimo nu Yesu muluviika ulwa ntekesi umbaha.
16 kodwa uPetro wayemi ngaphandle emnyango. Wasephuma lowomfundi omunye owayesaziwa ngumpristi omkhulu, wasekhuluma lomlindisangokazi, wamngenisa uPetro.
Nene uPeteli akiima akiima paanji pa mulyango, Umbulanisivua ujunge jula juno alyakaguliike nu ntekesi umbaha, akahuma panji akajova nu mhinja juno alyale ikuvadindulila avaanhu umulyango, pe akamwitikisia uPeteli kukwingila muluviika.
17 Incekukazi encane engumlindisango yasisithi kuPetro: Kawusuye lawe omunye wabafundi balumuntu yini? Yena wathi: Kangisuye.
Umhinja jula akamposia uPeteli akati, “Asi, uve nuli umo ghwa vavulanisivua va muunhu uju?” UPeteli akamwamula akati, “Ndali, une nanili m'bulanisivua ghwake.”
18 Njalo izinceku labancedisi babemi bebase umlilo wamalahle, ngoba kwakumakhaza, njalo besotha; uPetro laye wayemi labo esotha.
Avavombi na valoleleli valyapembile umwoto ulwakuva jilyale mhepo, vakava vikwota. Ghwope uPeteli akava palikimo na veene ikwota umwoto.
19 Umpristi omkhulu wasembuza uJesu ngabafundi bakhe, langemfundiso yakhe.
Untekesi um'baha akamposia uYesu vwimila avavulanisivua vaake ni mbulanisio saake.
20 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Mina ngikhulume obala emhlabeni; ngezikhathi zonke mina bengifundisa esinagogeni lethempelini, lapho amaJuda abuthana khona ngesikhathi sonke, njalo kangikhulumanga lutho ensitha.
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Une najovaghe na vaanhu pavuvalafu, ifighono fyoni navulanisyagha mu masinagogi na Nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, muno vikong'hana aVayahudi vooni. Nanajovagha nambe lisio limonga ku vusyefu.
21 Ubuzelani kimi? Buza labo abakuzwayo lokho engakukhuluma labo; khangela, bona bayazazi izinto mina engazitshoyo.
Lino kiki ghukumhosia une? Uvaposie vano vapulikagha, aveene vakagwile sino najovagha.
22 Kwathi esetshilo lezizinto, omunye wabancedisi owayemi khona wamwakala uJesu, esithi: Kanti uphendula njalo umpristi omkhulu?
UYesu ye ajovile isio, umo mu valoleleli juno alyale piipi nu mwene, akantova ni lipi akati, “kiki ukumwamula enendiiki untekesi um'baha?”
23 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uba ngikhulume kubi, fakaza ngobubi; kodwa uba kuhle, ungitshayelani?
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Nave nijovile fivi, jova uvuviivi vwango. Neke nave nijovile vunofu, kiki ghukunova?”
24 UAnasi wasemthuma ebotshiwe kuKayafasi umpristi omkhulu.
UYesu ye ajiighe akungilue, uAnasi akalaghila kuuti atwalue kwa ntekesi um'baha uKayafa.
25 Kodwa uSimoni Petro wayemi esotha; basebesithi kuye: Kawusuye lawe omunye wabafundi bakhe yini? Waphika yena, wathi: Kangisuye.
Lino uPeteli ye ikwota umwoto, vamo mu vano valyale vikwota umwoto vakamposia vakati, “Asi uve nuli umo mu vavulanisivua va muunhu uju?” Umwene akakaana akati, 'Ndali, une nanili m'bulanisivua ghwake.”
26 Omunye wezinceku zompristi omkhulu, oyisinini somuntu uPetro aquma indlebe yakhe, wathi: Mina kangikubonanga yini esivandeni ulaye?
Neke umo mu vuvombi va ntekesi um'baha, juno alyale nyalukolo ghwa muunhu jula juno uPeteli akan'dumwile imbulughutu akamposia akati, “Asi, naveeve nivele nikwaghile uli palikimo nu Yesu mu mughunda?”
27 UPetro wasebuya ephika; njalo lahle lakhala iqhude.
UPeteli akakaana kange, nakalingi ing'hongove jikavika.
28 Basebemkhupha uJesu kuKayafasi bamusa endlini yombusi; njalo kwakusekuseni, kodwa kabangenanga bona endlini yombusi, ukuze bangangcoli, kodwa ukuze badle iphasika.
Palwakilo, vakantoola uYesu kuhuma kwa Kayafa, vakantwala munyumba ija kitwa ija ntwa ghwa Valooma. Neke aveene navakingili munyumba ijio, ulwakuva vangingile viiva valamafu. Mu uluo navaale vilia ikyakulia ikyimike ikya Pasaka.
29 Ngakho uPilatu waphumela kubo, wathi: Limbeka cala bani lumuntu?
Pe untwa uPilato akahuma kunji, akavaposia akati, “Asi, umuunhu uju avombile vuhosi vuki vuno mukumhigha?”
30 Basebephendula bathi kuye: Uba lo ubengesuye owenza okubi, ngabe kasimnikelanga kuwe.
Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Umuunhu uju, aale ave namhosi, natwale tukumuleeta kulyuve.”
31 UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limahlulele njengomlayo wakini. Ngakho amaJuda athi kuye: Kakuvunyelwa kithi ukubulala umuntu;
UPilato akavavuula akati, “Lino muntoole jumue, mukamhighe ndavule silungika indaghilo siinu.” Avayahudi vakamwamula vakati, 'Usue natuli nu vutavulilua uvwa kumhigha umuunhu kuuti abudue.
32 ukuze kugcwaliseke ilizwi uJesu alikhulumayo, ukutshengisa uhlobo lokufa ayezakufa ngalo.
Isio silyavombike enendiiki kukwilanisia sino alyajovile uYesu vule ilifua.
33 Ngakho uPilatu wabuye wangena endlini yombusi, wambiza uJesu, wathi kuye: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini?
UPilato akagomoka munkate mu nyumba ija kitwa, akankemeela uYesu akamposia akati, “Asi, uve veeve ntwa ghwa Vayahudi?”
34 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uyazitsholo lokhu wena yini, kumbe abanye bakutshelile ngami?
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Sino ghukumhosia, sihuma mu masaaghe ghaako juuve, pamo avaanhu avange vakwomwile kuuti umhosie?”
35 UPilatu waphendula wathi: Kanti ngingumJuda mina? Isizwe sakini labapristi abakhulu bakunikele kimi; wenzeni?
UPilato akamwamula akati, “Nili Muyahudi une? Avaanu kuhuma mukisina kyako, na vavaha va vatekesi ve vano vakuletile kulyune. Uvombile kiki?
36 UJesu waphendula wathi: Umbuso wami kawusiwo walumhlaba; uba umbuso wami ubungowalumhlaba, inceku zami bezizakulwa, ukuze nginganikelwa kumaJuda; kodwa khathesi umbuso wami kawusiwo owalapha.
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Uvutwa vwango navwa mu iisi muno, vwale vuve vwa mu iisi muno avavombi vango vaale vikunhanga kuuti nileke kukolua na Vayahudi. Neke lino uvutwa vwango navwa mu iisi muno.”
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.
Pe uPilato akamposia akati, “Kwe kuti uve uli ntwa?” UYesu akamwamula akati, “Ujovile seseene kuuti une nili ntwa. Une nilyaholilue mu iisi, kuuti nivavulanisie avaanhu uvwakyang'haani. Umuunhu juno ivingilila uvwakyang'haani, ikumhulikisia.”
38 UPilatu wathi kuye: Liyini iqiniso? Kwathi esetshilo lokhu, wabuya waphumela kumaJuda, wathi kuwo: Mina kangitholi lacala kuye.
UPilato akamosia akati, “Uvwakyang'haani kyekiki?” UPilato ye ajovile isio, akahuma kange kunji, akavavuula aVayahudi akati, “Une nanikuvuvona uvuhosi kwa muunu uju.
39 Kodwa lilomkhuba, wokuthi ngilikhululele omunye ngephasika; ngakho liyathanda ukuthi ngilikhululele iNkosi yamaJuda yini?
Neke umue muli nu luno lukumhelela une kukun'dindulilia unkungua jumo ikighono ikya kyimike kya Pasaka. Asi, mulonda nin'dindulile untwa ghwa Vayahudi?”
40 Wonke asememeza futhi, athi: Hatshi lo, kodwa uBarabasi; kodwa uBarabasi wayengumphangi.
Neke avaanhu vooni vakoova vakati, “Ndali ujuo ndali, utudindulile uBalaba.” uBalaba ujuo, alyale mhijimbudi.
