UJohane 19
1 Ngakho uPilatu wamthatha uJesu, wamtshaya ngesiswepu.
Mbe pilato amugegele Yes namubhuma.
2 Labebutho beluka umqhele wameva bawubeka ekhanda lakhe, bamgqokisa isembatho esiyibubende,
Bhaliya abhasilikale nibhaluka amawa nokonja olutenga. Nibhaitula ingulu yo mutwe gwa Yesu nihhamufafya omwenda omutukulasi.
3 basebesithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda! Basebemtshaya ngempama.
Nibhamujako nibhaika ati, Awe uli mukama wa Bhayaudi! mbe mbamubhuma kwa mabhoko gabho.
4 UPilatu wasebuya waphumela phandle, wathi kubo: Khangelani, ngiyamkhuphela phandle kini, ukuze lazi ukuthi kangitholi lacala kuye.
Mbe pilato nauluka anja nabhabwila abhanu ati,”Lola nabhaletele omunu unu kwemwe koleleki mumenye ati anye nitamubhonako chikayo chona chona kumwene.”
5 UJesu wasephumela phandle, ethwele umqhele wameva embethe isembatho esiyibubende. UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Khangelani lumuntu!
Kulwejo Yesu nauluka anja; aliga afyae olutengo lwa mawa no mwenda omutukulasi. Niwo Pilato nabhabwila ati, “Mumulole omunu unu!”
6 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labancedisi bembona, bamemeza bathi: Bethela, bethela! UPilatu wathi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limbethele; ngoba mina kangitholi cala kuye.
Kulwejo omwanya omugabhisi omukulu bhejile bhamulola Yesu, nibhamwaya nibhaika ati,”Mumubhambe ku musalabha Pilata nabhabwila ati, “Mumugege emwe abhene mumubhambe ku musalabha, kwokubha anye nitakulola echikayo ku munu unu.
7 AmaJuda amphendula athi: Silomlayo thina, langokomlayo wethu ufanele ukufa, ngoba uzenze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Abhayaudi nibhamusiga ati Pilato,” Aswe chili nebhilagilo, na kulwejo bhilagilo echo chiile afye kwo kubha omwene ekolele kubha mwana wa Nyamuanga.”
8 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelolizwi, wesaba kakhulu,
Pilato ejile ongwa emisango ogwo nongesha okubhaya,
9 wangena futhi endlini yombusi, wathi kuJesu: Uvela ngaphi wena? Kodwa uJesu kamnikanga mpendulo.
Nengila mwilomelo lindi namubwila Yesu ati, “Awe ousoka aki? Nolwo kutyo, Yesu atamusubhishe.
10 Khona uPilatu wathi kuye: Kawukhulumi lami yini? Kawazi yini ukuthi ngilamandla okukubethela, njalo ngilamandla okukukhulula?
Mbe pilato namubwila ati, “Awe utakwaika nanye? Mbe awe utakumenya ati anyenili no bhuinga obwo kukutatila na nili nobhuinga obwo kukubhamba ku musalabha?
11 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Ungeke ube lamandla phezu kwami, uba ungawanikwanga evela phezulu; ngakho onginikele kuwe ulesono esikhulu.
Yesu namusubya ati, “Utakabhee namaga gonna kwanye alabha utakagabwene kusoka ingulu. Kulwejo omunu unu kasosha kwawe anebhibhi bhinene.”
12 Kusukela lapho uPilatu wadinga ukumkhulula. Kodwa amaJuda amemeza athi: Uba ukhulula lo, kawusuye umngane kaKesari; wonke ozenza inkosi, uphikisana loKesari.
Okwingana na lisubyo linu, Pilato endele okumutatila, nawe Abhayaudi nibhamwaya obhulaka nibhaika ati, “Alabha ukamutatila mbe awe utali musani wa Kaisari: Okubhayana unu kekola kubha mukama kamuyenusha kaisari.”
13 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelilizwi wamkhuphela phandle uJesu, wahlala phansi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi Gandelwe ngaMatshe, kodwa ngesiHebheru yiGabatha;
Pilato ejile ongwa emisango jinu namuulusha Yesu anja neya neyanja kuchitebhe cho kulamulila ao amenyekana ku mabhui amatinge, nawe muchiebulania, ni Gabatha.
14 njalo kwakungamalungiselelo ephasika, njalo kwakungaba lihola lesithupha; wasesithi kumaJuda: Khangelani inkosi yenu!
Olusiku lwo kwilabha ipasaka lwejile lwakinga, omwanya gwa saa sita ja mumwisi. Pilato namubwila ati Abhayaudi, mulole omukama wemwe nguyu anu!”
15 Kodwa amemeza athi: Susa, susa, mbethele! UPilatu wathi kuwo: Ngibethele yini inkosi yenu? Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: Kasilankosi ngaphandle kukaKesari.
Ni bhamwaya nibhaika ati, “Mumusosheo, mumusosheo mumubhambe ku musalabha!”Pilato nabhabwila ati, “nimubhambe kumusalabha omukama wemwe?” Omugabhisi omukulu nasubya ati, “Eswe chitana mukama tali chili Kaisari ela.”
16 Ngakho wasemnikela kubo, ukuze abethelwe. Basebemthatha uJesu bamqhuba.
Niwo Pilato namusosha Yesu kubhene koleleki bhamubhambe kumusalabha.
17 Kwathi ethwele isiphambano sakhe waphuma waya endaweni ethiwa yiNdawo yokhakhayi, ethiwa ngesiHebheru yiGolgotha;
Niwo nibhamugega Yesu, naulika agegele omusalabha gwae omwene nakinga anu atogwaga Muchianga, muchiebrania natogwa Goligota.
18 lapho abambethela khona, labanye ababili kanye laye, ngapha langapha, loJesu ephakathi.
Niwo bhamubhambile Yesu kumusalabha amwi na bhandi bhalume bhabhili umwi lunu no undi lunu, na Yesu agati yebwe.
19 UPilatu wasebhala lesaziso, wasiphanyeka esiphambanweni; njalo kwakubhalwe ukuthi: UJESU UMNAZARETHA INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
Mbe Pilato nandika echimenyegesho nachitula ingulu ya kumusabha. Ao andikilwe ati: YESU MUNAZARETI, OMUKAMA WA BHAYAUDI.
20 Lalesisaziso abanengi bamaJuda basifunda, ngoba indawo lapho uJesu ayebethelwe khona yayiseduze lomuzi; njalo kwakubhalwe ngesiHebheru, ngesiGriki, langesiRoma.
Abhayaudi bhafu nibhasoma echimenyegesho echo chandikilwe mu chiebrania na muchilumi na muchiyunani.
21 Abapristi abakhulu bamaJuda basebesithi kuPilatu: Ungabhali ukuthi: INkosi yamaJuda; kodwa ukuthi lo wathi: NgiyiNkosi yamaJuda.
Mbe abhakulu bha bhagabhisi bha Bhayaudi nibhamubwila Pilato ati, “Siga kwandika, 'Omukama wa Bhayaudi; tali omwene aikile atianye ni mukama wa Bhayaudi.”
22 UPilatu waphendula wathi: Engikubhalileyo, ngikubhalile.
Niwo Pilato nabhasubya ati, “Chinu nandikile nicho nandika.”
23 Kwathi abebutho, sebembethele uJesu, bathatha izembatho zakhe, basebezenza izabelo ezine, ngulowo lalowo owebutho waba lesabelo, lesigqoko; kodwa isigqoko sasingelamthungo, selukiwe sonke kusukela phezulu.
Bhejile bhamala abhasilikale okumubhamba kumusalabha Yesu, nibhagega ebhifalo byee nibhabhigabha ku migabho ena, bhuli musilikale mugabho gwae, na kutyo ikanju, yaeyaliga itasonelwe tali yaliga ilukilwe kusokelela ingulu.
24 Ngakho bakhulumisana besithi: Kasingasidabuli, kodwa asisenzele inkatho, ukuthi sizakuba ngesikabani; ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Babelana izembatho zami, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngesigqoko sami. Azenza-ke lezizinto amabutho.
Mbe nibhaikana ati abhene kwa bhene, “Chisige okuitemula, tali chibhume ikula koleleki chilole eibha yaga.” Linu lisokele koleleki elyandiko likumile elyo lyalomelwe ati bhagabhene emyenda jani no mwenda gwani mbagubhumila ikula.”
25 Kwakumi esiphambanweni sikaJesu unina, lodadewabo kanina, uMariyaumkaKlophasi, loMariya Magadalena.
Mbe abhasilikale bhakolele emisango jinu. Nyilamwene Yesu, no muyala wejabho, Mariamu omugasi wa Kileopa na Mariamu Magdalena bhaliga bhemeleguyu ayeyi no musalabhagwa Yesu.
26 Ngakho uJesu ebona unina, lomfundi amthandayo emi khona, wathi kunina: Mama, khangela indodana yakho.
Yesu ejile amolola Nyilamwene ali amwi na uliya omwiigisibwa oyoaliga amwendele emeleguyu ayei, namubwila nyilamwene ati, “Omugasi, lola, omwana wao guyu anu!”
27 Emva kwalokho wathi kumfundi: Khangela unyoko. Kusukela ngalelohola lowomfundi wamthatha wamusa kwakhe.
Mbe nabhabwila ati uliya omwiigisibwa, “Lola, unu Nyokomwana wao. “Okusoka omwanya ogwo omwiigisibwa namugega namusilaika owae.
28 Emva kwalokhu uJesu ekwazi ukuthi konke kwasekuphelile, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo, wathi: Ngomile.
Mbe kulwejo, Yesu aliga amenyele ati byona byamalile okukumwisibwa koleleki elyandiko elyoaikile ati, “obhulilo bha nyita.”
29 Kwakubekwe isitsha sigcwele iviniga; basebegcwalisa uzipho ngeviniga, baluhloma kuhisope, balusa emlonyeni wakhe.
Echinu chaliga chijue isiki, kulwejo nibhatulao sifongo lijuye isiki nibhamutulila kumunwa gwae.
30 Kwathi-ke uJesu elemukele iviniga, wathi: Kuphelile; wasekhothamisa ikhanda, wanikela umoya.
Mbe nawe Yesu ejile aloja isiki, naika ati, “Jawa.” mbe nenamya omutwe gwae, nasosha omwoyo.
31 Ngakho amaJuda, ngoba kwakungamalungiselelo, ukuze izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha (ngoba lolosuku lwesabatha lwalulukhulu), acela uPilatu ukuthi yephulwe imilenze yabo, njalo basuswe.
Mbe lwa kutyo kwalinga luli lusiku lwo mwanya gwo kwilabha, kwobha emibhili jitendibwaga okusigala ingulu yo musalabha ku mwanya gwa isabhato (kulwejo isabhato lwaliga lusiku lukulu), Abhayaudi nibhamusabwa Pilato okubhafuna amagulu gebwe need mibhili gebwe bhagisosheko.
32 Ngakho abebutho beza, bephula imilenze yowokuqala leyomunye ababebethelwe laye;
Niwo abhasilikale nibhaja nibhafuna amagulu go munu wo kwamba no wakabhili oyo aliga abhambilwe amwi na Yesu.
33 kodwa sebefika kuJesu, kwathi bebona ukuthi wayesefile, kabayephulanga imilenze yakhe;
Bhejile bhamukingila Yesu, mbamusanga afue, kulwejo bhatamufunile amagulu gaye.
34 kodwa omunye webutho wamgwaza ngomkhonto ehlangothini, njalo kwahle kwaphuma igazi lamanzi.
Nolwo kutyo, umwi wa bhasilikale namusoma Yesu kulubhafu na lichumu, nigasoka amanyinga na manji.
35 Yena owabonayo ufakazile, njalo ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile, yena-ke uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma okuliqiniso, ukuze lina likholwe.
Unu alolele linu nasosha obhubhambasi, no bhubhambasi bwaye ni bwe chimali. Omwene kamenya echo kaika niche chimali koleleki emwe ona mwikilishe.
36 Ngoba lezizinto zenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Kakuyikwephulwa thambo lakhe.
Emisango jinu jabheyeo koleleki omusango ogwo gwandikilwe gukumisibwe, “Atabheyeo nolwo wae umwi oyo afunilwe.”
37 Njalo lomunye umbhalo uthi: Bazamkhangela abamgwazileyo.
Elyandiko lindi elyaika ati, “Bhalimulola unu abhobhamusomele”
38 Kwathi emva kwalezizinto uJosefa weArimathiya, owayengumfundi kaJesu, kodwa ngasese ngenxa yokwesaba amaJuda, wacela kuPilatu ukuthi asuse isidumbu sikaJesu; futhi uPilatu wavuma. Ngakho weza wasisusa isidumbu sikaJesu.
Jegile jawa emisango jinu Yusufu wa Arimathaya, unu aliga mwigisibwa was Yesu, nawe Ali mumbise nobhaya abhayaudi, amusabhile Pilato ati agugege omubhili gwa Yesu. MbePilato nekilisha niwo Yusufu naja nagusoshao omubhili gwa Yesu.
39 Kwasekusiza loNikodima, owafika kuJesu kuqala ebusuku, ephethe inhlanganiso yemure lenhlaba engaba amaphawundi alikhulu.
Mbe Nicodemo unu amulubhile Yesu ingeta ona naja. Omwene aletele ebyo bhisasise ebya mafuta na malange bhuli no bhusito bwa latili egana.
40 Basebesithatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basibopha ngamalembu acolekileyo kanye lamakha, njengomkhuba wamaJuda wokungcwaba.
Kulwejo nibhagenda omubhili gwa Yesu nibhagusinga mumwenda amwi nibhilange, lwa kutyo jitungwa ja abhayaudi omwanya gwo kusika kwebwe.
41 Njalo kwakukhona kuleyondawo ayebethelwe khona isivande, lesivandeni kwakulengcwaba elitsha, okwakungazange kubekwe muntu kulo.
Mbe anu Yesu abhambilweo yaliga iliyo ibhusitani na yalinga ilimo ifya inyaya ichali kweswamo omunu.
42 Basebembeka lapho uJesu ngenxa yamalungiselelo amaJuda, ngoba ingcwaba laliseduze.
Mbe, okubha yaliga lusiku lwo kwilabha kwa Bhayaudi, na kutyo ifya yaliga ili yei nibhamwesa Yesu omwo.
