< UJohane 19 >
1 Ngakho uPilatu wamthatha uJesu, wamtshaya ngesiswepu.
Basi Pilato akan'tola Yesu ni kun'tobha.
2 Labebutho beluka umqhele wameva bawubeka ekhanda lakhe, bamgqokisa isembatho esiyibubende,
Maaskari bhala bhakasokota mifwa ni kutengenesya litaji. Bhakaibheka panani pa mutu ghwa Yesu ni kumfwatika liguanda lya zambarau.
3 basebesithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda! Basebemtshaya ngempama.
Bhakan'hidila ni kujobha, “Bhebhe mfalme ghwa Bhayahudi! na kisha kun'tobha kwa mabhokho gha bhene.
4 UPilatu wasebuya waphumela phandle, wathi kubo: Khangelani, ngiyamkhuphela phandle kini, ukuze lazi ukuthi kangitholi lacala kuye.
Kisha Pilato akahoma kwibhala ni kubhajobhela bhanu, “Lngayi nikabhaletela kwa muenga munu ojho ila mumanya kujha nene nikajhibhona lepi hatia jha munu ojho.”
5 UJesu wasephumela phandle, ethwele umqhele wameva embethe isembatho esiyibubende. UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Khangelani lumuntu!
Henu Yesu akapita kwibhala akajha afwalili litaji lya mifwa ni liguanda lya zambarau. Ndipo Pilato akabhajobhela, “Mulangayi munu ojho apa!”
6 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labancedisi bembona, bamemeza bathi: Bethela, bethela! UPilatu wathi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limbethele; ngoba mina kangitholi cala kuye.
Kwa hiyo wakati kuhani mbaha na bhabhaha bho bhambwene Yesu, wakapiga makele bhakajobha, “N'sulubisiajhi, n'sulubisiajhi.” Pilato akabhajobhela, “Mun'tolayi mwebhene mkan'sulubisiajhi, kwa ndabha nene nibhonalepi hatia kwa muene.”
7 AmaJuda amphendula athi: Silomlayo thina, langokomlayo wethu ufanele ukufa, ngoba uzenze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Bhayahudi bhakan'jibu Pilato, “Tete tujhe ni sheria, ni kwa sheria ejhe jhilondeka afuayi kwandabha muene akibhekeghe mwana ghwa K'yara.”
8 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelolizwi, wesaba kakhulu,
Pilato bho ap'eliki malobhi agha azidi kutila,
9 wangena futhi endlini yombusi, wathi kuJesu: Uvela ngaphi wena? Kodwa uJesu kamnikanga mpendulo.
akajhingila Praitorio kabhele ni kun'jobhela Yesu, “Bhebhe wihomela ndaku? Hata naha, Yesu an'jibi lepi.
10 Khona uPilatu wathi kuye: Kawukhulumi lami yini? Kawazi yini ukuthi ngilamandla okukubethela, njalo ngilamandla okukukhulula?
Kisha Pilato akan'jobhela, “Je, bhebhe wilongela lepi ni nene? Je, bhebhe umanyilepi kujha nene nijhe ni mamlaka gha kusulubisya?”
11 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Ungeke ube lamandla phezu kwami, uba ungawanikwanga evela phezulu; ngakho onginikele kuwe ulesono esikhulu.
Yesu akan'jibu, “Ngaujhelepi ni nghofu dhidi jha nene kama ngaupelibhu lepi kuhomela kunani. Henu, munu jha anipisili kwa bhebhe ajhe ni dhambi mbaha.”
12 Kusukela lapho uPilatu wadinga ukumkhulula. Kodwa amaJuda amemeza athi: Uba ukhulula lo, kawusuye umngane kaKesari; wonke ozenza inkosi, uphikisana loKesari.
Kutokana ni lijibu e'le, Pilato alondeghe kundeka huru, lakini Bhayahudi bhakapiga majhueghu bhakajobha, “Kama wibetakundeka huru basi bhebhe sio rafiki ghwa Kaisari: Kila jhaikibheka mfalme ilota kinyume ni Kaisari.”
13 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelilizwi wamkhuphela phandle uJesu, wahlala phansi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi Gandelwe ngaMatshe, kodwa ngesiHebheru yiGabatha;
Pilato bho aghapeliki malobhi agha, akandeta Yesu kwibhala kisha akatama pa kiti kya hukumu mahali pala papimanyikana kama sakafu, lakini kwa Kiebrania, Gabatha.
14 njalo kwakungamalungiselelo ephasika, njalo kwakungaba lihola lesithupha; wasesithi kumaJuda: Khangelani inkosi yenu!
Ligono lya maandalizi gha pasaka bho bhifikili, muda ghwa saa sita. Pilato akabhajobhela Bhayahudi, “Mulangayi mfalme ghwa jhomu ojho apa!”
15 Kodwa amemeza athi: Susa, susa, mbethele! UPilatu wathi kuwo: Ngibethele yini inkosi yenu? Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: Kasilankosi ngaphandle kukaKesari.
Bhakapiga makelele, “Umbosiajhi, umbosiajhi, un'sulubisiajhi!” Pilato akabhajobhela, “Je, nin'sulubusuajhi mfalme ghwa jhomu?” Ni muene Kuhani mbaha akajibu, “Tete tujhelepi ni mfalme isipokujha Kaisari.”
16 Ngakho wasemnikela kubo, ukuze abethelwe. Basebemthatha uJesu bamqhuba.
Ndipo Pilato akandeta Yesu kwa bhene ili asulubibhwayi
17 Kwathi ethwele isiphambano sakhe waphuma waya endaweni ethiwa yiNdawo yokhakhayi, ethiwa ngesiHebheru yiGolgotha;
Na bhene bhakantola Yesu, ni muene akapita, hali aup'endili n'salaba ghwa muene mpaka ku lieneo lyalikutibhwa fuvu lya mutu, kwa Kihebrania likutibhwa Golgotha.
18 lapho abambethela khona, labanye ababili kanye laye, ngapha langapha, loJesu ephakathi.
Ndipo pa bhan'sulubisi Yesu, pamonga ni bhagosi bhabhele, mmonga lubhafu olo ni jhongi lubhafu olo, ni Yesu katikati jha bhene.
19 UPilatu wasebhala lesaziso, wasiphanyeka esiphambanweni; njalo kwakubhalwe ukuthi: UJESU UMNAZARETHA INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
Kisha Pilato akajhandika alama ni kujhibheka panani pa n'salaba. Apu pajhandikibhu: YESU MNAZARETH, MFALME GHWA BHAYAHUDI.
20 Lalesisaziso abanengi bamaJuda basifunda, ngoba indawo lapho uJesu ayebethelwe khona yayiseduze lomuzi; njalo kwakubhalwe ngesiHebheru, ngesiGriki, langesiRoma.
Bhayahudi bhingi bhaisomili alama jhela kwani mahali pala pa asululibibhu Yesu pajhele karibu ni mji. Alama ejhu jhalembibhu Kiebrania, kwa Kirumi ni kwa Kiyunani.
21 Abapristi abakhulu bamaJuda basebesithi kuPilatu: Ungabhali ukuthi: INkosi yamaJuda; kodwa ukuthi lo wathi: NgiyiNkosi yamaJuda.
Kisha bhabhaha bha makuhani ghwa Bhayahudi bhakan'jobhela Pilato, “Usilembi, 'Mfalme ghwa Bhayahudi; bali muene ajobhili nene ndo mfalme ghwa Bhayahudi.”
22 UPilatu waphendula wathi: Engikubhalileyo, ngikubhalile.
Ni muene Pilato akabhajibu, “Ghanijhandiki nijhandiki.”
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 jha askari kun'sulubisya Yesu, bhakatola mavazi gha muene ni kughagabha katika mafungu mancheche, khila askari lifungu limonga, fefuefu ni kanzu, Henu kanzu jhela jhashonibhu lepi bali jhafumibhu jhioha kuhomela kunani.
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 bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Tusijhikachuli, bali tupigayi kura ili tulolayi jhibetakujha jha niani?” Ele lyahomili ili lela liandiku litimizwajhi, lela lya lijobha bhagabhenye nghobho syangu, ni liguanda lya nene bhalipigili kura.”
25 Kwakumi esiphambanweni sikaJesu unina, lodadewabo kanina, uMariyaumkaKlophasi, loMariya Magadalena.
Askari abhombi mambo agha. Nyinamunu Yesu, ndombo munu nyina ghwa Yesu, Mariamu n'dala ghwa Kleopa ni Mariamu Magdalena - bhadala abha bhajhele bhajhele bhajhemili karibu ni n'salaba ghwa Yesu.
26 Ngakho uJesu ebona unina, lomfundi amthandayo emi khona, wathi kunina: Mama, khangela indodana yakho.
Yesu bho ambwene nyinamunu ni jhola mwanafunzi jhaan'ganili bhajhemili karibu akan'jobhela nyinamunu, “N'dala, langayi, mwanabhu ojho apa!”
27 Emva kwalokho wathi kumfundi: Khangela unyoko. Kusukela ngalelohola lowomfundi wamthatha wamusa kwakhe.
Kisha akan'jobhela jhola mwanafunzi, “Langayi, ojho apa nyinu waku. “Kuhomela saa ejhu mwanafunzi jhola akan'tola kulota kunyumba kwa muene.
28 Emva kwalokhu uJesu ekwazi ukuthi konke kwasekuphelile, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo, wathi: Ngomile.
Baada jha e'lu, Hali Yesu amanyili kujha ghoha ghamaliki ili kutimisya maandiku, akajobha, “Nibhona kiu,”
29 Kwakubekwe isitsha sigcwele iviniga; basebegcwalisa uzipho ngeviniga, baluhloma kuhisope, balusa emlonyeni wakhe.
Khenu kyakikamemili Siki kyabhekibhu pala, henu bhakabheka sifongo jhajhimemili siki panani pa ufito ghwa hisopo, bhakambekela mundomo mwa muene.
30 Kwathi-ke uJesu elemukele iviniga, wathi: Kuphelile; wasekhothamisa ikhanda, wanikela umoya.
Ni muene Yesu bho ajhibhonjili ejhu, akajobha, “Imaliki.” Kisha akajhinamisya mutu ghwa muene akajhikabidhi roho jha muene.
31 Ngakho amaJuda, ngoba kwakungamalungiselelo, ukuze izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha (ngoba lolosuku lwesabatha lwalulukhulu), acela uPilatu ukuthi yephulwe imilenze yabo, njalo basuswe.
Kwa vile bhwajhele bhwakati bhwa maandalio, ni kwam ndabha mibhele jhilondekeghe lepi kubakila panani pa n'salaba wakati bhwa Sabato (kwa kujha Sabato jha jhele ligono lya muhimu), bhayahudi bhan'sokili Pilato kujha magolo gha bhene bhala bhabhasulubisibhu idenyibhwayi, ni kwamba mibhele ghya bhene iselesibhwayi.
32 Ngakho abebutho beza, bephula imilenze yowokuqala leyomunye ababebethelwe laye;
Ndipo askari bhakahida ni kudenya magolo gha munu ghwa kwanza ni ghwa pili bhabhasulubisibhu pamonga ni Yesu.
33 kodwa sebefika kuJesu, kwathi bebona ukuthi wayesefile, kabayephulanga imilenze yakhe;
Bhobhamfikirir Yesu bhan'kolili tayari amali kufwa, henu bhakadenya lepi magolo gha muene.
34 kodwa omunye webutho wamgwaza ngomkhonto ehlangothini, njalo kwahle kwaphuma igazi lamanzi.
Hata naha, mmonga ghwa askari akan'homa Yesu ng'oha mu mbafu ni mara jhikahoma masi ni damu.
35 Yena owabonayo ufakazile, njalo ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile, yena-ke uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma okuliqiniso, ukuze lina likholwe.
Ni muene jha alibhwene lela ahomisi bhushuhuda, ni bhushuhuda bhwa muene bhwa kweli. Muene amanyili kyaajobhili kya bhukweli ili namu pia mukierayi.
36 Ngoba lezizinto zenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Kakuyikwephulwa thambo lakhe.
Mambo agha ghajhele ili lela lyalyanenibhu libhwesiyi kutimila, “Bhujhele hata umonga bhwa bhwibetakudenyibhwa.”
37 Njalo lomunye umbhalo uthi: Bazamkhangela abamgwazileyo.
Kabhele liandiku lenge lijobha, “Bhibetakundangamuene jha ahomibhu”
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 jha mambo agha Yusufu ghwa Arimathaya, kwa vile ajhele mwanafunzi ghwa Yesu, lakini kwa siri kwa kubhatila Bhayahudi, an'sokili Pilato kujha autolayi mb'ele bhwa Yesu.
39 Kwasekusiza loNikodima, owafika kuJesu kuqala ebusuku, ephethe inhlanganiso yemure lenhlaba engaba amaphawundi alikhulu.
Ni muene Pilato akampela ruhusa. Henu Yusufu akahida kuubhosya mb'ele ghwa Yesu. Ni muene Nicodemo ambajhe kubhwandelu an'kesisi Yesu pakilu ni muene akahida. Muene aletili mchanganyiiku ghwa manemane ni udi, kama uzito ghwa ratili mia moja.
40 Basebesithatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basibopha ngamalembu acolekileyo kanye lamakha, njengomkhuba wamaJuda wokungcwaba.
Henu bhakautola mb'ele ghwa Yesu bhakaukonga sanda jha kitani ni pamonga ni ghala manukato, kama kyajhikajhele desturi jha bhayahudi wakati wa kusiela.
41 Njalo kwakukhona kuleyondawo ayebethelwe khona isivande, lesivandeni kwakulengcwaba elitsha, okwakungazange kubekwe muntu kulo.
Mahali ambapo Yesu asulubisibhu kwajhele ni bustani; mugati mu jhela bustani kwajhele ni likaburi lipya ambalyo ajhelepi munu ambajhe abhwajhili kusyelibhwa omu.
42 Basebembeka lapho uJesu ngenxa yamalungiselelo amaJuda, ngoba ingcwaba laliseduze.
Basi, kwa kujha jhajhele ligono lya maandalio kwa Bhayahudi, ni kwa vile lela likaburi lyajhele karibu, basi bhakan'goneka Yesu mugati omu.
