< UJohane 19 >

1 Ngakho uPilatu wamthatha uJesu, wamtshaya ngesiswepu.
Basi u Pilato atolile u Yesu nu hutova.
2 Labebutho beluka umqhele wameva bawubeka ekhanda lakhe, bamgqokisa isembatho esiyibubende,
Vala avasihali vahasohota amatoni nuhutengenesia elitaji. Vahaveha hukianya hutwa ugwa Yesu nu hufualecha umwenda ugasamalawe.
3 basebesithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda! Basebemtshaya ngempama.
Vahamwichela nuhuchova, “Uve veve imbaha vavayahudi! navahatova humavoho gavene.
4 UPilatu wasebuya waphumela phandle, wathi kubo: Khangelani, ngiyamkhuphela phandle kini, ukuze lazi ukuthi kangitholi lacala kuye.
U Pilato ahumile hunji na huvavula avanu, “Lola nihuvaletela umunu uyu huliumwe ili mmanye uhuta alebila nongwa yuyoni.”
5 UJesu wasephumela phandle, ethwele umqhele wameva embethe isembatho esiyibubende. UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Khangelani lumuntu!
U Yesu ahumile hunji afwalile amavuva gamatoni nemienda egwa sambalawe. Ndipo u Pilato ahavavula, “Lola umnu uyu apa!”
6 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labancedisi bembona, bamemeza bathi: Bethela, bethela! UPilatu wathi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limbethele; ngoba mina kangitholi cala kuye.
Usehe ugwa ndongochi umbaha vavile vambwane u Yesu, vahatova ikelele vahata, “Isulubeswe, sulubeswe.” U Pilato ahavavula, “Itole yumwemha sulubeswe uhuva une sanevu uvutula nogwa mgati mmwene.”
7 AmaJuda amphendula athi: Silomlayo thina, langokomlayo wethu ufanele ukufa, ngoba uzenze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Avayahudi vahajibu Pilato vahata, “Ufwe tule bila seliya, neseliya tule vuvule eya hunogwa uhubuda uhuva umwene ahefanyile uhuta mwana va Nguluve.”
8 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelolizwi, wesaba kakhulu,
U Pilato avileipoleha amamenyu aga ahanja uhuduada,
9 wangena futhi endlini yombusi, wathi kuJesu: Uvela ngaphi wena? Kodwa uJesu kamnikanga mpendulo.
ahingela Praitorio tena nuhumbula u Yesu, “Uve uhumile ndahu? hata hivyo u Yesu sahajibu.
10 Khona uPilatu wathi kuye: Kawukhulumi lami yini? Kawazi yini ukuthi ngilamandla okukubethela, njalo ngilamandla okukukhulula?
U Pilato ahavuliwa, “Je, uve sawichova nune? Je, uvesulumanyile uhuta une nelena mamlaka ga huhufungula na mamlaka ahuhu sulubisia?”
11 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Ungeke ube lamandla phezu kwami, uba ungawanikwanga evela phezulu; ngakho onginikele kuwe ulesono esikhulu.
U Yesu ahajibu, “Ahata suhale wiva ni ngofu uhusidi hulione kamauhale sitolile hukianya. Ivyo umnu uva ang'echiche huliove alenimbivi imaha.”
12 Kusukela lapho uPilatu wadinga ukumkhulula. Kodwa amaJuda amemeza athi: Uba ukhulula lo, kawusuye umngane kaKesari; wonke ozenza inkosi, uphikisana loKesari.
Uhuhumana nelijibu eli, u Pilato ahanogwa uhundeha hulu, lakini Avayahudi vaha tova ekelele vahachova, “Kama vuhundeha hulu uve sio ule lafiki va Kaisari: Hela uvivomba henyune hundongochi umbaha iva henyume nu Kaisari.”
13 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelilizwi wamkhuphela phandle uJesu, wahlala phansi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi Gandelwe ngaMatshe, kodwa ngesiHebheru yiGabatha;
U Pilato avileihugapoleha amamenyu aga, ahandeta u Yesu hunzi kisha ahatama nave huhegoda ehia vuhegi pama hali papo pijulehana mahali pasumenti, lakini huhe kiebrania, Gabatha.
14 njalo kwakungamalungiselelo ephasika, njalo kwakungaba lihola lesithupha; wasesithi kumaJuda: Khangelani inkosi yenu!
ya maandalizi ga pasaha yavile yefihe pasehe uga saa sita. Pilato ahavavula Avayahudi, “Lola umbaha venyu uyu apa!”
15 Kodwa amemeza athi: Susa, susa, mbethele! UPilatu wathi kuwo: Ngibethele yini inkosi yenu? Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: Kasilankosi ngaphandle kukaKesari.
Vagatova ekelele, “asulubiswe umbaha vennyo undongochi umbaha ahajibu ufwe tule bila undongochi umbaha isipo kuwa Kaisari.”
16 Ngakho wasemnikela kubo, ukuze abethelwe. Basebemthatha uJesu bamqhuba.
Ndipo u Pilato aha ngumia u Yesu vuvene ili asubihe.
17 Kwathi ethwele isiphambano sakhe waphuma waya endaweni ethiwa yiNdawo yokhakhayi, ethiwa ngesiHebheru yiGolgotha;
Navene vahatola u Yesu numwene ahahuma hali ahagega ehe da miling'na hiamwine ipaha huli eneo ilihelangiwa fuvu lia intwe huheebrania Golgotha.
18 lapho abambethela khona, labanye ababili kanye laye, ngapha langapha, loJesu ephakathi.
Apo pavahasulubisia u Yesu, pamoja navagosi vavele yumo uvupande uvu nuyunge uvupande uvu nu Yesu katikati yavene.
19 UPilatu wasebhala lesaziso, wasiphanyeka esiphambanweni; njalo kwakubhalwe ukuthi: UJESU UMNAZARETHA INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
U Pilato ahasimba ealama nuhuyeveha hukianya mheda miling'ana apo pasimbiwe: YESU MNAZARETH, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI.
20 Lalesisaziso abanengi bamaJuda basifunda, ngoba indawo lapho uJesu ayebethelwe khona yayiseduze lomuzi; njalo kwakubhalwe ngesiHebheru, ngesiGriki, langesiRoma.
Vingi Avayahudi vale huemba eyo amahali apo pasulubisie u Yesu pale kalibu nu mji. Ealama eya ya simbiwe hujovele ya Kiebrania, huhe lumi ne Heyunani.
21 Abapristi abakhulu bamaJuda basebesithi kuPilatu: Ungabhali ukuthi: INkosi yamaJuda; kodwa ukuthi lo wathi: NgiyiNkosi yamaJuda.
Avalongochi avavaha ava vayahudi vahambula u Pilato, “Usite, 'Uhusimba umbaha vavayahudi.”
22 UPilatu waphendula wathi: Engikubhalileyo, ngikubhalile.
Nu Pilato ahavajibu gago, “Nesimbile gunesimbile.”
23 Kwathi abebutho, sebembethele uJesu, bathatha izembatho zakhe, basebezenza izabelo ezine, ngulowo lalowo owebutho waba lesabelo, lesigqoko; kodwa isigqoko sasingelamthungo, selukiwe sonke kusukela phezulu.
Baada avasihali uhusulubisia u Yesu, vahatola emienda egia mwene nuhugaha katika amafungu gane, hela usihali fungu lemo, ne kanzu nayope nayekanzo yale sayahoniwe ya suhiwe uhuhuma hukianya.
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.
Kisha vahachovana vavo hwa vavo, “Tusite, uhugeda katikati bali tuyetovele ikula yiva ya veni.” Elio lia humile ili uvusimbe votimesiwe, lelio liachoviwe vagivine emwenda giango, neligandaliango vahale tovela ekula.”
25 Kwakumi esiphambanweni sikaJesu unina, lodadewabo kanina, uMariyaumkaKlophasi, loMariya Magadalena.
vahavomba amambo aga. Umama yake u Yesu, udada va mamaye, u Mariamu udala va Kleopa nu Mariamu Magdalena - avadala ava va emile kalibu neheda milingana enja Yesu.
26 Ngakho uJesu ebona unina, lomfundi amthandayo emi khona, wathi kunina: Mama, khangela indodana yakho.
U Yesu avile ambwene. Umama yake nula uvasiule uvaganile vuvemile kalibu ahambula umama vamwene, “Udala, lola, umwana vaho uyu apa!”
27 Emva kwalokho wathi kumfundi: Khangela unyoko. Kusukela ngalelohola lowomfundi wamthatha wamusa kwakhe.
Ahambula uvasiule, “Lola, umama vaho uyu apa. “Uhuhuma usehe ugwa uvasiule ahatola uhuluta hunyumba yamwene.
28 Emva kwalokhu uJesu ekwazi ukuthi konke kwasekuphelile, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo, wathi: Ngomile.
Baada ya ago, u Yesu ahelawa ahata aga gatali gasilile ili uvusimbe vitimesiwe ahachova ahata numilwe.
29 Kwakubekwe isitsha sigcwele iviniga; basebegcwalisa uzipho ngeviniga, baluhloma kuhisope, balusa emlonyeni wakhe.
Uhwa hwale ehiombo hia degile siki basi va hahanjani isifongo eyeye degile siki hukianya hulusitu ulwa hisopo, vahaelehela mndomo.
30 Kwathi-ke uJesu elemukele iviniga, wathi: Kuphelile; wasekhothamisa ikhanda, wanikela umoya.
Basi u Yesu avile ipohela siki ahachova yesilile ahainamamisia. Utwe ahavula enumbula yamwene.
31 Ngakho amaJuda, ngoba kwakungamalungiselelo, ukuze izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha (ngoba lolosuku lwesabatha lwalulukhulu), acela uPilatu ukuthi yephulwe imilenze yabo, njalo basuswe.
avayahudi kwa sababu ya maandalio emivele gesite uhutama hukianya auhedamilingana esihu ya Sabato (maana esabato yake sihu baha vahadova u Pilato amalunde vadenye vahaswemiwe.
32 Ngakho abebutho beza, bephula imilenze yowokuqala leyomunye ababebethelwe laye;
Basi avasihalivahaluta vahadenya amalunde uva huanza nu vavele aliye na Yesu pamoja nu mwene.
33 kodwa sebefika kuJesu, kwathi bebona ukuthi wayesefile, kabayephulanga imilenze yakhe;
Lakini vavile vandutile u Yesu nu hulola vahavuna ahamalile uhufwe savaha keda amalunde.
34 kodwa omunye webutho wamgwaza ngomkhonto ehlangothini, njalo kwahle kwaphuma igazi lamanzi.
Lakini uasihali yumo ahang'ome paluvafu mala ahahumi ukisa na magasi.
35 Yena owabonayo ufakazile, njalo ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile, yena-ke uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma okuliqiniso, ukuze lina likholwe.
Nayumwene avalolile asihudile uvusuhuda wamwene aweni vuyelweli uvusuhuda wamwene aweni vuyelweli ili nayofwetupate uhusadihi.
36 Ngoba lezizinto zenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Kakuyikwephulwa thambo lakhe.
Uhuva ago gahumile ili uvusimbe vutimele, “Hapana elichege ilipia lidenyeha”.
37 Njalo lomunye umbhalo uthi: Bazamkhangela abamgwazileyo.
Netena uvusimbe wichova, wingi “Valandola yuywa valehungoma”
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.
Baada ya Yusufu wa Arimathaya, navope vasiule va Yesu lakini husili ya woduachi wa Vayahudi ahadova u Pilato ang'eche umbele ugwa Yesu. Nu Pilato ahapa uluhusa. Bali ahaluta ahahecha umbele gwa mwene.
39 Kwasekusiza loNikodima, owafika kuJesu kuqala ebusuku, ephethe inhlanganiso yemure lenhlaba engaba amaphawundi alikhulu.
Ahaluta u Nikodemo navope ula uvi ahandutile pakelo hapo huanza ahaheleha amachanganyo ga mamenyu aga udi yapata uvuchito wa ratili mia moja.
40 Basebesithatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basibopha ngamalembu acolekileyo kanye lamakha, njengomkhuba wamaJuda wokungcwaba.
Basi vahagutola umbele gwa Yesu vahagukonga umwenda kitani pamoja mafuta agamanukato, kama vuyelevu imila chavayahudi katika kuzika.
41 Njalo kwakukhona kuleyondawo ayebethelwe khona isivande, lesivandeni kwakulengcwaba elitsha, okwakungazange kubekwe muntu kulo.
Na pala apasulubiswe pale ne bustani; na igati mbustani mwale nelipomba ilipya abalo savasilile umnu yuyoni igati umwa.
42 Basebembeka lapho uJesu ngenxa yamalungiselelo amaJuda, ngoba ingcwaba laliseduze.
Basi hwasababu ya isimbe cha Vayahudi vahambeha u Yesu huhwa elikabuli lele kalibu, basi wakamlaza Yesu ndani yake.
