UMakho 14
1 Kwathi emva kwensuku ezimbili kwaba khona iphasika lomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo; abapristi abakhulu lababhali basebedinga ukuthi bangambamba njani ngobuqili bambulale;
And it was the passover and feast of unleavened bread after two days. And the high priests and scribes were seeking how they might kill Him, having taken Him by stratagem.
2 kodwa bathi: Kungabi ngomkhosi, hlezi kube lesiphithiphithi sabantu.
For they said, Not at the feast, lest there shall be an uproar of the people.
3 Kwathi eseBethani, endlini kaSimoni umlephero, ehlezi ekudleni, kwafika owesifazana ephethe umfuma we-alibasta wamagcobo awenadi uqobo aligugu elikhulu; wasephahlaza umfuma we-alibasta, wawathela ekhanda lakhe.
And He being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, He sitting at the table, a woman came having an alabaster box of myrrh of spikenard estimated very valuable; and breaking the alabastar box, she poured it on His head.
4 Kwakukhona abanye abathukuthelayo ngaphakathi kwabo, besithi: Kwenzelwani ukumotshwa kwalamagcobo?
And there were certain ones indulging in indignation among themselves (and saying), For what was this loss of the myrrh?
5 Ngoba la abengathengiswa ngemali edlula odenariyo abangamakhulu amathathu, besekunikwa abayanga. Basebemsola.
For this myrrh was able to be sold for more than three hundred denaria, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 Kodwa uJesu wathi: Myekeleni; limhluphelani? Wenze umsebenzi omuhle kimi.
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why do you give her trouble? she hath wrought a beautiful work in me.
7 Ngoba abayanga lihlala lilabo, futhi uba lithanda lingabenzela okuhle; kodwa mina kalihlali lilami.
For you have the poor always with you, and when you wish, you are able to do them good: but you have not me always.
8 Yena wenzile abengakwenza; uqalile ngaphambili ukuwugcobela ukungcwatshwa umzimba wami.
She did what she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body for the burial.
9 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngaphi emhlabeni wonke lapho okuzatshunyayelwa khona lelivangeli, lalokhu akwenzileyo kuzakhulunywa ngakho kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.
Truly I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel may be preached in all the world, that which she did shall indeed be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 UJudasi Iskariyothi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili, wasesiya kubapristi abakhulu, ukuze amnikele kubo.
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might betray Him to them.
11 Futhi sebezwile bathokoza, bathembisa ukumnika imali; wasedinga ukuthi angamnikela njani kuhle.
And they, hearing, rejoiced, and promised to give him money. And he was seeking how he might betray Him opportunely.
12 Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lwesinkwa esingelamvubelo, ababehlaba ngalo iphasika, abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Uthanda ukuthi siyelungisa ngaphi ukuze udle iphasika?
And on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they were accustomed to slay the passover, His disciples say to Him; Where do you wish, that we, having gone away may prepare that you may eat the passover?
13 Wasethuma ababili kubafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Hambani liye emzini, njalo umuntu uzahlangana lani ethwele imbiza yamanzi; limlandele,
And He sends away two of His disciples, and says to them; Go into the city and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him,
14 njalo loba kungaphi azangena khona, kalibokuthi kumninindlu: UMfundisi uthi: Ingaphi indlu yezihambi, lapho engingadlela khona iphasika labafundi bami?
whithersoever he may go in, say to the landlord that the Teacher says, Where is my guest chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
15 Futhi yena uzalitshengisa indlu enkulu ephezulu eyendlelweyo elungisiweyo; silungiseleni khona.
And he will show you a large upper room furnished, ready; there prepare for us.
16 Abafundi bakhe basebephuma, bangena emzini, bathola kunjengokutsho kwakhe kubo; basebelungisa iphasika.
And His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as He said to them, and prepared the passover.
17 Kwathi sekukusihlwa wafika labalitshumi lambili.
And it being evening, He comes with the twelve.
18 Sebehlezi besidla, uJesu wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Omunye wenu, odla lami, uzanginikela.
And they sitting and eating, Jesus said, Truly, I say unto you, that, One of you who eateth with me shall betray me.
19 Basebeqala ukudabuka, bathi kuye ngamunye ngamunye: Ayisimi, akunjalo yini? Lomunye: Ayisimi, akunjalo yini?
And they began to be grieved, and to say to Him one by one, Whether am I the one? And another, Whether am I the one?
20 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Ngomunye wabalitshumi lambili, otsheba kanye lami emganwini.
And He said to them, One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish.
21 Sibili iNdodana yomuntu ihamba, njengokulotshiweyo ngayo; kodwa maye kulowomuntu enikelwa nguye iNdodana yomuntu! Bekungakuhle kuye aluba lowomuntu wayengazalwanga.
Truly the Son of man goes, as has been written concerning Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It was good for him if that man had never been born.
22 Kwathi besidla, uJesu wathatha isinkwa, wasibusisa wasihlephula, wabanika, wathi: Thathani, lidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami.
And they eating, Jesus having taken the bread, blessing it, broke, and gave it to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.
23 Wasethatha inkezo, esebongile wabanika; basebenatha kuyo bonke.
And taking the cup, blessing it, He gave it to them, and all drank of it.
24 Wasesithi kubo: Leli ligazi lami, elesivumelwano esitsha, elichithelwa abanengi.
And He said to them, This is my blood, which belongs to the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
25 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angisayikunatha okwesithelo sevini, kuze kufike lolosuku engizasinatha ngalo sisitsha embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Truly I say unto you, That I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I may drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 Kwathi sebehlabele ingoma yokudumisa baphuma baya entabeni yeMihlwathi.
And they having sung a hymn, went out into the Mount of Olives.
27 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lonke lizakhubeka ngami ngalobubusuku; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngizatshaya umelusi, izimvu besezihlakazeka.
And Jesus says to them, You will all be offended, because it has been written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
28 Kodwa emva kokuvuswa kwami, ngizalandulela ukuya eGalili.
But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 Kodwa uPetro wathi kuye: Lanxa bonke bezakhubeka, kodwa hatshi mina.
And Peter said to Him, If indeed, all shall be offended, yet not I.
30 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Lamuhla ngalobubusuku, lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu.
And Jesus says to him, Truly I say unto thee, That thou to-day, even this night, before the cock shall crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.
31 Kodwa waqinisa ngamandla esithi: Loba kudingeka ngife lawe, angisoze ngikuphike. Basebesitsho njalo labo bonke.
And he continued to say the more positively, If it may behoove me to die with thee, I can never deny thee. And all continued to say likewise.
32 Basebefika endaweni ebizo layo yiGetsemane; wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Hlalani phansi lapha, ngisayakhuleka.
And they come into the place whose name is Gethsemane. And He says to His disciples, Sit here, until I may pray.
33 Wasethatha kanye laye uPetro loJakobe loJohane, waseqala ukudatshulwa sibili lokukhathazeka kakhulu.
And He takes Peter, and John, and James with Him, and began to grieve and to be dejected.
34 Wasesithi kubo: Umphefumulo wami udabukile kakhulu kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha lilinde.
And He says to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful unto death: abide here, and watch.
35 Waseqhubeka ibangana, wawela emhlabathini, wakhuleka ukuthi, uba kungenzeka, kudlule kuye lelihola.
And having gone forward a little, He fell on the ground; and continued to pray, that if possible, the hour may pass from Him.
36 Wasesithi: Abha, Baba, zonke izinto ziyenzeka kuwe. Susa linkezo kimi; kodwa kungabi yikuthi ngithandani mina, kodwa kube yikuthi uthandani wena.
And He said, Father, Father, all things are possible to thee; take this cup from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37 Wasesiza, wabafica belele, wathi kuPetro: Simoni, ulele yini? Ubungelinde yini ihola libe linye?
And He comes, and finds them sleeping, and He says to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Were you not able to watch one hour?
38 Lindani likhuleke, ukuze lingangeni ekulingweni. Umoya uyavuma-ke, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka.
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation: for the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
39 Wasebuya wahamba wayakhuleka, esitsho wona lawomazwi.
And again having gone away, He prayed, speaking the same word.
40 Wasebuya wabafica futhi belele; ngoba amehlo abo ayenzima, kodwa babengazi ukuthi bazamphendula bathini.
And turning, He found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what they might respond to Him.
41 Wasesiza ngokwesithathu, wathi kubo: Qhubekani-ke lilele, liphumule. Kwanele; ihola selifikile; khangelani, iNdodana yomuntu iyanikelwa ezandleni zezoni.
And He comes the third time, and says to them; Sleep on, and take your rest: it is over; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners:
42 Sukumani, sihambe; khangelani, onginikelayo useduze.
arise, let us go: behold, the one having betrayed me draws nigh.
43 Kwathi esakhuluma, wahle wafika uJudasi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili, njalo elexuku elikhulu elilezinkemba lezinduku, livela kubapristi abakhulu lababhali labadala.
And immediately, He still speaking, Judas Iscariot comes, being one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 Lomnikelayo wayebanike isiboniso, esithi: Lowo engizamanga, nguye; limbambe, limqhube limqinise.
And the one having betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying, The one whom I shall kiss, is He: seize Him and lead Him away securely.
45 Esefikile, wahle wasondela kuye wathi: Rabi, Rabi! Wasemanga.
And having come, immediately advancing forward, he said to Him, Master, and kissed Him copiously.
46 Basebemdumela, bambamba.
And they laid their hands on Him and arrested Him.
47 Lomunye kwababemi khona wakhokha inkemba wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu, waquma indlebe yayo.
And a certain one of those standing by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Liphume njengokuyamelana lomphangi yini lilezinkemba lezinduku ukuzangibamba?
Jesus responding said to them, You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me:
49 Bengilani insuku ngensuku ethempelini ngifundisa, kodwa kalingibambanga - kodwa ukuze kugcwaliseke imibhalo.
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me: but in order that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.
50 Bonke basebemtshiya babaleka.
And all leaving Him, fled away.
51 Lejaha elithile lamlandela, lembethe ilembu elicolekileyo emzimbeni onqunu. Aselibamba amajaha;
And one certain young man followed Him, invested with a linen cloth on his unclothed body: and they take hold of him.
52 laselitshiya ilembu elicolekileyo lababalekela linqunu.
And he leaving the linen cloth, fled from them in a state of nudity.
53 Basebemqhuba uJesu bamusa kumpristi omkhulu; basebebuthana kuye abapristi abakhulu bonke labadala lababhali.
And they led Jesus to the high priest: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came together to Him.
54 UPetro wasemlandela ekhatshana waze waba phakathi kweguma lompristi omkhulu; wayehlezi kanye lezinceku, esotha umlilo.
And Peter followed Him a long way off, even into the court of the high priest; and was sitting with the officers, and warming at the fire.
55 Labapristi abakhulu lomphakathi wonke badinga ubufakazi ngoJesu, ukuze bambulale; kodwa kababutholanga.
And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking testimony against Him to put Him to death; and they found none.
56 Ngoba abanengi bafakaza amanga ngaye, kodwa lobubufakazi kabuvumelananga.
For many were testifying falsely against Him, and their testimonies were not equal.
57 Kwasekusukuma abanye bafakaza amanga amelana laye besithi:
And certain ones rising up, were testifying falsely against Him, saying,
58 Thina samuzwa esithi: Mina ngizadiliza lelithempeli elenziwe ngezandla, njalo ngakhe elinye elingenziwanga ngezandla ngensuku ezintathu.
We heard Him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and will build another in three days, made without hands.
59 Loba kunjalo ubufakazi babo kabuvumelananga.
And thus their testimony was not equal.
60 Kwasekusukuma umpristi omkhulu phakathi kwabo wambuza uJesu, esithi: Kawuphenduli lutho yini? Bafakazani laba okumelana lawe?
And the high priest rising up in their midst, asked Jesus, saying, Do you respond nothing? what are they witnessing against you?
61 Kodwa wathula, kaphendulanga lutho. Umpristi omkhulu wabuya wambuza, wathi kuye: Wena unguKristu, iNdodana yoBusisiweyo yini?
And He was silent, and answered nothing: again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 UJesu wasesithi: Mina nginguye. Njalo lizabona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene samandla, isiza ngamayezi ezulu.
And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 Umpristi omkhulu wasedabula izembatho zakhe wathi: Sisaswelelani abafakazi?
The high priest tearing his garments, says, Why have we yet need of witnesses?
64 Liyizwile inhlamba; licabangani? Bonke basebemlahla ukuthi ulecala lokufa.
You heard the blasphemy: what seems to you? And all answered, He is worthy of death.
65 Abanye basebeqala ukumkhafulela amathe, lokumgubuzela ubuso, lokumdutshuza, lokuthi kuye: Profetha! Izinceku zasezimwakala.
And certain ones began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and say to Him, Prophesy: and the officers received Him with blows.
66 UPetro esegumeni ngaphansi, kwafika enye yezincekukazi zompristi omkhulu;
And Peter being in the court, one of the maidservants of the high priest comes down;
67 isibona uPetro esotha, yamkhangela yathi: Lawe ubulomNazaretha, uJesu.
and seeing Peter warming, looking upon him, says, Thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene.
68 Kodwa waphika, wathi: Kangikwazi, futhi kangikuqedisisi okutshoyo. Wasephuma phandle, waya entubeni; laselikhala iqhude.
And he denied, saying, I know not, neither do I understand what you say. And he went out into the portico; and the cock crew.
69 Njalo incekukazi encane yabuya yambona, yaqala ukutsho kwababemi khona ukuthi: Lo ungomunye wabo.
And the maidservant seeing him again, began to say to the bystanders, He is one of them.
70 Kodwa wabuya waphika. Kwathi emva kwesikhatshana futhi labo ababemi khona bathi kuPetro: Ngeqiniso ungomunye wabo; ngoba lawe ungumGalili, lolimi lwakho luyavumelana.
And again he denied: and after a little again the bystanders were saying to Peter, Truly, thou art one of them; for indeed thou art a Galilean.
71 Waseqala ukuqalekisa lokufunga esithi: Kangimazi lumuntu elimtshoyo.
But he began to anathematize, and to swear, I know not this man of whom you speak.
72 Iqhude laselikhala ngokwesibili. UPetro wasekhumbula ilizwi uJesu ayelitshilo kuye lokuthi: Lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu. Esenakane ngalokhu wakhala.
And the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus told him; That, before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he continued to weep.
