UJohane 19
1 Ngakho uPilatu wamthatha uJesu, wamtshaya ngesiswepu.
Pe pano uPilato akantoola uYesu na kukunkopa ni mijeledi.
2 Labebutho beluka umqhele wameva bawubeka ekhanda lakhe, bamgqokisa isembatho esiyibubende,
Avasikali vala vakatenda ingeela ija mifua, vakamfwasia ku mutu, kange vakamfwasia isopeka indangali.
3 basebesithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda! Basebemtshaya ngempama.
Pe vakava viveela kwa mwene na kukunnenela viiti, “Uve, ghwe ntwa ghwa Vayahudi! Vakava vikuntova na mapi.
4 UPilatu wasebuya waphumela phandle, wathi kubo: Khangelani, ngiyamkhuphela phandle kini, ukuze lazi ukuthi kangitholi lacala kuye.
akahuma kange kunji, akavavuula akati, “Pulikisia, umuunhu nikumuleta kulyumue kunji kuno mukagule kuuti une nanikuvwagha uvuhosi vumonga kwa mwene.”
5 UJesu wasephumela phandle, ethwele umqhele wameva embethe isembatho esiyibubende. UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Khangelani lumuntu!
Pe uYesu akahuma kunji afwalile ingeela ija mifua ni sopeka indangali. UPilato akajova akati, 'Lolagha, umunu ujuo ghwe uju.”
6 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labancedisi bembona, bamemeza bathi: Bethela, bethela! UPilatu wathi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limbethele; ngoba mina kangitholi cala kuye.
Avavaha va vatekesi na valoleleli ye vamwaghile, vakoova vakati, “Unkomelele pa kikovekano!” UPilato akavavuula akati, “Muntoole jumue mukankomelele, ulwakuva une nivona nsila nkome.”
7 AmaJuda amphendula athi: Silomlayo thina, langokomlayo wethu ufanele ukufa, ngoba uzenze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Avayahudi vakamwamula vakati, “Usue tuli nu lulaghilo, vwimila ululaghilo uluo uju anoghile kufua ulwakuva umwene ivikile Mwana ghwa Nguluve.
8 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelolizwi, wesaba kakhulu,
UPilato ye apulike amasio aguo, akoghopa kyongo,
9 wangena futhi endlini yombusi, wathi kuJesu: Uvela ngaphi wena? Kodwa uJesu kamnikanga mpendulo.
pe akingila kange munyumba jaake ija kitwa, akamposia uYesu akati, 'Uve ghuhuma kuughi?” Neke uYesu naalyamwamwile kimonga.
10 Khona uPilatu wathi kuye: Kawukhulumi lami yini? Kawazi yini ukuthi ngilamandla okukubethela, njalo ngilamandla okukukhulula?
Pe uPilato akati, “Kiki naghukunyamula? Asi, nukagwile kuuti une nili nu vutavulilua uvwa kukudindulila, nu vwa kukukomelela pa kikovekano?
11 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Ungeke ube lamandla phezu kwami, uba ungawanikwanga evela phezulu; ngakho onginikele kuwe ulesono esikhulu.
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Uve naghwale ghuuva nu vutavulilua kulyune, nave nupelilue kuhuma kukyanya. Lino umuunhu juno ambikile mu mavoko ghaako mhosi kukila uve.”
12 Kusukela lapho uPilatu wadinga ukumkhulula. Kodwa amaJuda amemeza athi: Uba ukhulula lo, kawusuye umngane kaKesari; wonke ozenza inkosi, uphikisana loKesari.
Kuhuma unsiki ughuo, uPilato akava ilonda isila ija kun'dindulila uYesu. Neke aVayahudi vakoova vakati, “Ungan'dindulile umuunhu uju, naghuuva mmanyaani ghwa ntwa um'baha uKaisali. Umuunhu juno ikuviika kuuva ntwa, ikaana uvutwa vwa ntwa umbaha uKaisali.”
13 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelilizwi wamkhuphela phandle uJesu, wahlala phansi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi Gandelwe ngaMatshe, kodwa ngesiHebheru yiGabatha;
UPilato ye apulike amasio aghuo, akahuma nu Yesu kunji, akikala pa kitengo kya vuhighi, munjovele ija Kiebulania pitambulua Gabata kwe kuti, Lwalo lwa mavue.
14 njalo kwakungamalungiselelo ephasika, njalo kwakungaba lihola lesithupha; wasesithi kumaJuda: Khangelani inkosi yenu!
Ikighono ikio kilyale kighono kya kuling'hania ikyimike ikya Pasaka, kaale kavalilo ka ntanda ndiiki. UPilato akavavuula aVayahudi akati, “Lolagha, uju ghwe ntwa ghwinu!”
15 Kodwa amemeza athi: Susa, susa, mbethele! UPilatu wathi kuwo: Ngibethele yini inkosi yenu? Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: Kasilankosi ngaphandle kukaKesari.
Aveene vakoova vakati “M'busie, m'busie, unkomelele pa kikovekano.” UPilato akavaposia akati, “Asi, ninkomelele pa kikovekano untwa ghwinu?” Avavaha va vatekesi vakati, “Usue natuli nu ntwa ujunge, looli ju Kaisali!”
16 Ngakho wasemnikela kubo, ukuze abethelwe. Basebemthatha uJesu bamqhuba.
Pe pano uPilato akam'biika uYesu mumavoko ghaake kuuti vankomelele
17 Kwathi ethwele isiphambano sakhe waphuma waya endaweni ethiwa yiNdawo yokhakhayi, ethiwa ngesiHebheru yiGolgotha;
Pe vakantoola uYesu, akahuma mulikaaja apindile ikikovekano kyake kuhanga kufika pano pakatambulwagha mu Kiebulania Golgota, kwekuti ling'hala lya mutu.
18 lapho abambethela khona, labanye ababili kanye laye, ngapha langapha, loJesu ephakathi.
Apuo vakankomelela uYesu palikimo na vange vavili, jumo ulubale ulwa kundio ujunge ulwa kung'highi umwene akava pakate.
19 UPilatu wasebhala lesaziso, wasiphanyeka esiphambanweni; njalo kwakubhalwe ukuthi: UJESU UMNAZARETHA INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
Pepano uPilato akalemba amasio na kuviika pakyanya pa kikovekano kya Yesu. Amasio aghuo ghalyalembilue, 'UYESU UMUNASALETI, UNTWA GHWA VAYAHUDI.
20 Lalesisaziso abanengi bamaJuda basifunda, ngoba indawo lapho uJesu ayebethelwe khona yayiseduze lomuzi; njalo kwakubhalwe ngesiHebheru, ngesiGriki, langesiRoma.
Amasio aghuo ghalyalembilue mu njovele ija Kiebulania, ija Kilooma nija Kiyunaani. Avaanhu vinga vakava vikwimba amalemba aghuo, ulwakuva pano alyakomelilue palyale piipi ni likaaja.
21 Abapristi abakhulu bamaJuda basebesithi kuPilatu: Ungabhali ukuthi: INkosi yamaJuda; kodwa ukuthi lo wathi: NgiyiNkosi yamaJuda.
Avavaha va vatekesi ava Vayahudi vakam'buula iPilato vakati, “Nungalembaghe, 'Ntwa ghwa Vayahudi; ulembe kuuti,' Umuunhu uju alyatiile, UNE NENE NTWA GHWA VAYAHUDI.”
22 UPilatu waphendula wathi: Engikubhalileyo, ngikubhalile.
UPilato akavamula akati, “Sino nilembile, nilembile.”
23 Kwathi abebutho, sebembethele uJesu, bathatha izembatho zakhe, basebezenza izabelo ezine, ngulowo lalowo owebutho waba lesabelo, lesigqoko; kodwa isigqoko sasingelamthungo, selukiwe sonke kusukela phezulu.
Avasikali ye vankomeliile uYesu vakatoola amenda ghaake, vakaghava fighavo fine, pe nujunge akatoola ikighavo kyake. Kange vakatoola isopeka jaake. Isopeka ijio najilyahonilue, ulwene jilyatavulue kuhuma ku mutu kuhanga kufika ku maghulu.
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.
Avasikali avuo vakavulana vakati, “Isopeka iji tuleke pidemula, ulwene tusodolele kuuti jiive jaani. “Isio silyavombiike kukwilanisia aMalembe aMimike ghano ghiiti, “Valyaghavinie amenda ghango na kuviika ulusodolelo isopeka jaango.”
25 Kwakumi esiphambanweni sikaJesu unina, lodadewabo kanina, uMariyaumkaKlophasi, loMariya Magadalena.
Enendiiki fye valyavombile avasikali. Un'ghina ghwa Yesu, unnuuna ghwa ng'ina ghwa Yesu, UMaliamu umhuma mu kikaja ikya Magidala, vakimile piipi ni kikovekano kya Yesu.
26 Ngakho uJesu ebona unina, lomfundi amthandayo emi khona, wathi kunina: Mama, khangela indodana yakho.
UYesu akamwagha ung'ina nu m'bulanisivua juno alyamughanile, vimile piipi nu mwene, akam'buula ung'ina akati, “Mama, lolagha ujuo mwanaako.”
27 Emva kwalokho wathi kumfundi: Khangela unyoko. Kusukela ngalelohola lowomfundi wamthatha wamusa kwakhe.
Kange akam'buula um'bulanisivua jula akati, “Lolagha, ujuo mama ghwako.” Unsiki ughuo um'bulanisivua jula akantoola umama jula, kuluta naghwo kukaaja kwa mwene.
28 Emva kwalokhu uJesu ekwazi ukuthi konke kwasekuphelile, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo, wathi: Ngomile.
UYesu ye avwene sooni sivombike akati, “Numilue.” Alyajovile enendiiki kukwilanisia aMalembe aMimike.
29 Kwakubekwe isitsha sigcwele iviniga; basebegcwalisa uzipho ngeviniga, baluhloma kuhisope, balusa emlonyeni wakhe.
Apoonu pala pwekilyale ikikong'olo kino kimemile uluhuuje ulukali ulwa sabibu. Vakatoola ikyenda vakasuvika mu luhuuje, vakakinjenga mu lupiki ulwa mpiki umuhisopo, vakantwalila pa mulomo.
30 Kwathi-ke uJesu elemukele iviniga, wathi: Kuphelile; wasekhothamisa ikhanda, wanikela umoya.
UYesu ye anywile uluhuuje lula akati, “Sooni sivombiike!” Akinamisia umutu, akakunguka.
31 Ngakho amaJuda, ngoba kwakungamalungiselelo, ukuze izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha (ngoba lolosuku lwesabatha lwalulukhulu), acela uPilatu ukuthi yephulwe imilenze yabo, njalo basuswe.
Ikighono ikio kyale kighono kya kuling'hania iSabati. Avayahudi navakalondagha amavili gha vafue ghajighe pa kikovekano pa kighono ikya Sabati, ulwakuva ikighono ikio kilyale kivaha! Pe vakansuuma uPilato avitikisie kuuti amaghulu agha vanhu avuo, ghadenyue, neke vavavusie pa kiko vekano.
32 Ngakho abebutho beza, bephula imilenze yowokuqala leyomunye ababebethelwe laye;
Pe avasikali vakaluta, vakadeenya amaghulu agha muunhu ghwa kwanda nu ghwa vuvili vano valyakomelilue palikimo nu Yesu.
33 kodwa sebefika kuJesu, kwathi bebona ukuthi wayesefile, kabayephulanga imilenze yakhe;
Neke ye vafikile pa Yesu, vakavona afwile. Mu uluo navakadeenya amaghulu ghaake.
34 kodwa omunye webutho wamgwaza ngomkhonto ehlangothini, njalo kwahle kwaphuma igazi lamanzi.
Umuunhu umo mu vasikali akamhoma ni mhalala uYesu pa luvafu, jikahuma idanda na malenga.
35 Yena owabonayo ufakazile, njalo ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile, yena-ke uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma okuliqiniso, ukuze lina likholwe.
Imhola isi silembilue nu muunhu juno alyasivwene ye sivombeka. Sino ijova sa kyang'haani, kange ghwope akagwile kuuti sino ijova sa kyang'haani, ikwoleka neke na jumue mwitike.
36 Ngoba lezizinto zenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Kakuyikwephulwa thambo lakhe.
Isio silyavombiiki kukwilanisia aMalembe aMimike ghano ghiiti, “Nambe umfupa ghwake ghumo naghudenyua.
37 Njalo lomunye umbhalo uthi: Bazamkhangela abamgwazileyo.
Kange aMalembe aMimike aghange ghiiti” Vikumulolagha juno vamhomile.”
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.
Isio ye sivombiike, akiisa uYesufu umhuma mu likaaja ilya Alimatia. Umuunhu uju alyale m'bingilili ghwa Yesu kisyefu, ulwakuva akoghopa avalongosi va Vayahudi. Akansuuma uPilato kuuti avusie um'bili ghwa Yesu pakikovekano. UPilato akamwitikisia, pe akaluta akaghuvusia.
39 Kwasekusiza loNikodima, owafika kuJesu kuqala ebusuku, ephethe inhlanganiso yemure lenhlaba engaba amaphawundi alikhulu.
Naju Nikodemu, juno ikighono kimonga alyalutile kwa Yesu pakilo, akiisa na mafuta amanya lunusi ulunono. Amafuta aghuo ghalyale ikiilo fijigho fitatu ndiiki.
40 Basebesithatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basibopha ngamalembu acolekileyo kanye lamakha, njengomkhuba wamaJuda wokungcwaba.
Vooni ve vaviili vakatoola umbili ghwa Yesu vakaghuniengelela nu mwenda umpala palikimo na mafuta ghala amanya lunusi ulunono ndavule lulyale lwiho lwa Vayahudi ulwa kusyila avaanhu.
41 Njalo kwakukhona kuleyondawo ayebethelwe khona isivande, lesivandeni kwakulengcwaba elitsha, okwakungazange kubekwe muntu kulo.
Pano valyankomeliile uYesu pweghulyale umughunda. Mu mughunda ghula mwejilyale imbiipa imia jino navaghelile kuviika nambe muunhu.
42 Basebembeka lapho uJesu ngenxa yamalungiselelo amaJuda, ngoba ingcwaba laliseduze.
Lino, ulwakuva ku Vayahudi ikighono kyale kighono ikya kuling'hania iSabati, vakaviika um'bili ghwa Yesu mu mbiipa jila, ulwakuva jilyale piipi.
