UMakho 14
1 Kwathi emva kwensuku ezimbili kwaba khona iphasika lomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo; abapristi abakhulu lababhali basebedinga ukuthi bangambamba njani ngobuqili bambulale;
After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
2 kodwa bathi: Kungabi ngomkhosi, hlezi kube lesiphithiphithi sabantu.
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there 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 being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at food, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
4 Kwakukhona abanye abathukuthelayo ngaphakathi kwabo, besithi: Kwenzelwani ukumotshwa kwalamagcobo?
And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 Ngoba la abengathengiswa ngemali edlula odenariyo abangamakhulu amathathu, besekunikwa abayanga. Basebemsola.
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been 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 trouble all of you her? she has wrought a good work on me.
7 Ngoba abayanga lihlala lilabo, futhi uba lithanda lingabenzela okuhle; kodwa mina kalihlali lilami.
For all of you have the poor with you always, and whenever all of you will all of you may do them good: but me all of you have not always.
8 Yena wenzile abengakwenza; uqalile ngaphambili ukuwugcobela ukungcwatshwa umzimba wami.
She has done what she could: she has come beforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngaphi emhlabeni wonke lapho okuzatshunyayelwa khona lelivangeli, lalokhu akwenzileyo kuzakhulunywa ngakho kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.
Verily I say unto you, Where ever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall 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 unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
11 Futhi sebezwile bathokoza, bathembisa ukumnika imali; wasedinga ukuthi angamnikela njani kuhle.
And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lwesinkwa esingelamvubelo, ababehlaba ngalo iphasika, abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Uthanda ukuthi siyelungisa ngaphi ukuze udle iphasika?
And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where will you that we go and 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 forth two of his disciples, and says unto them, Go all of you into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing 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?
And where ever he shall go in, say all of you to the goodman of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest room, where I shall 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 and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 Abafundi bakhe basebephuma, bangena emzini, bathola kunjengokutsho kwakhe kubo; basebelungisa iphasika.
And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 Kwathi sekukusihlwa wafika labalitshumi lambili.
And in the evening he comes with the twelve.
18 Sebehlezi besidla, uJesu wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Omunye wenu, odla lami, uzanginikela.
And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eats with me shall betray me.
19 Basebeqala ukudabuka, bathi kuye ngamunye ngamunye: Ayisimi, akunjalo yini? Lomunye: Ayisimi, akunjalo yini?
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
20 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Ngomunye wabalitshumi lambili, otsheba kanye lami emganwini.
And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dips with me in the dish.
21 Sibili iNdodana yomuntu ihamba, njengokulotshiweyo ngayo; kodwa maye kulowomuntu enikelwa nguye iNdodana yomuntu! Bekungakuhle kuye aluba lowomuntu wayengazalwanga.
The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
22 Kwathi besidla, uJesu wathatha isinkwa, wasibusisa wasihlephula, wabanika, wathi: Thathani, lidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami.
And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 Wasethatha inkezo, esebongile wabanika; basebenatha kuyo bonke.
And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 Wasesithi kubo: Leli ligazi lami, elesivumelwano esitsha, elichithelwa abanengi.
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angisayikunatha okwesithelo sevini, kuze kufike lolosuku engizasinatha ngalo sisitsha embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 Kwathi sebehlabele ingoma yokudumisa baphuma baya entabeni yeMihlwathi.
And when they had sung an hymn, they 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 unto them, All you shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
28 Kodwa emva kokuvuswa kwami, ngizalandulela ukuya eGalili.
But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 Kodwa uPetro wathi kuye: Lanxa bonke bezakhubeka, kodwa hatshi mina.
But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
30 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Lamuhla ngalobubusuku, lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu.
And Jesus says unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, you shall deny me three times.
31 Kodwa waqinisa ngamandla esithi: Loba kudingeka ngife lawe, angisoze ngikuphike. Basebesitsho njalo labo bonke.
But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with you, I will not deny you in any way. Likewise also said they all.
32 Basebefika endaweni ebizo layo yiGetsemane; wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Hlalani phansi lapha, ngisayakhuleka.
And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he says to his disciples, Sit all of you here, while I shall pray.
33 Wasethatha kanye laye uPetro loJakobe loJohane, waseqala ukudatshulwa sibili lokukhathazeka kakhulu.
And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 Wasesithi kubo: Umphefumulo wami udabukile kakhulu kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha lilinde.
And says unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry all of you here, and watch.
35 Waseqhubeka ibangana, wawela emhlabathini, wakhuleka ukuthi, uba kungenzeka, kudlule kuye lelihola.
And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might 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, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto you; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what you will.
37 Wasesiza, wabafica belele, wathi kuPetro: Simoni, ulele yini? Ubungelinde yini ihola libe linye?
And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says unto Peter, Simon, sleep you? could not you watch one hour?
38 Lindani likhuleke, ukuze lingangeni ekulingweni. Umoya uyavuma-ke, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka.
Watch all of you and pray, lest all of you enter into temptation. The spirit (pneuma) truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
39 Wasebuya wahamba wayakhuleka, esitsho wona lawomazwi.
And again he went away, and prayed, and spoke the same words. (logos)
40 Wasebuya wabafica futhi belele; ngoba amehlo abo ayenzima, kodwa babengazi ukuthi bazamphendula bathini.
And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy, ) neither know they what to answer 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 unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour has come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Sukumani, sihambe; khangelani, onginikelayo useduze.
Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrays me is at hand.
43 Kwathi esakhuluma, wahle wafika uJudasi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili, njalo elexuku elikhulu elilezinkemba lezinduku, livela kubapristi abakhulu lababhali labadala.
And immediately, while he yet spoke, comes Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 Lomnikelayo wayebanike isiboniso, esithi: Lowo engizamanga, nguye; limbambe, limqhube limqinise.
And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
45 Esefikile, wahle wasondela kuye wathi: Rabi, Rabi! Wasemanga.
And as soon as he was come, he goes immediately to him, and says, Master, master; and kissed him.
46 Basebemdumela, bambamba.
And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
47 Lomunye kwababemi khona wakhokha inkemba wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu, waquma indlebe yayo.
And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and stroke a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Liphume njengokuyamelana lomphangi yini lilezinkemba lezinduku ukuzangibamba?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are all of you come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves 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 all of you took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
50 Bonke basebemtshiya babaleka.
And they all forsook him, and fled.
51 Lejaha elithile lamlandela, lembethe ilembu elicolekileyo emzimbeni onqunu. Aselibamba amajaha;
And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
52 laselitshiya ilembu elicolekileyo lababalekela linqunu.
And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 Basebemqhuba uJesu bamusa kumpristi omkhulu; basebebuthana kuye abapristi abakhulu bonke labadala lababhali.
And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
54 UPetro wasemlandela ekhatshana waze waba phakathi kweguma lompristi omkhulu; wayehlezi kanye lezinceku, esotha umlilo.
And Peter followed him far off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55 Labapristi abakhulu lomphakathi wonke badinga ubufakazi ngoJesu, ukuze bambulale; kodwa kababutholanga.
And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
56 Ngoba abanengi bafakaza amanga ngaye, kodwa lobubufakazi kabuvumelananga.
For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
57 Kwasekusukuma abanye bafakaza amanga amelana laye besithi:
And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
58 Thina samuzwa esithi: Mina ngizadiliza lelithempeli elenziwe ngezandla, njalo ngakhe elinye elingenziwanga ngezandla ngensuku ezintathu.
We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
59 Loba kunjalo ubufakazi babo kabuvumelananga.
But neither so did their witness agree together.
60 Kwasekusukuma umpristi omkhulu phakathi kwabo wambuza uJesu, esithi: Kawuphenduli lutho yini? Bafakazani laba okumelana lawe?
And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answer you nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
61 Kodwa wathula, kaphendulanga lutho. Umpristi omkhulu wabuya wambuza, wathi kuye: Wena unguKristu, iNdodana yoBusisiweyo yini?
But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Are you 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 all of 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?
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and says, What need we any further witnesses?
64 Liyizwile inhlamba; licabangani? Bonke basebemlahla ukuthi ulecala lokufa.
All of you have heard the blasphemy: what think all of you? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
65 Abanye basebeqala ukumkhafulela amathe, lokumgubuzela ubuso, lokumdutshuza, lokuthi kuye: Profetha! Izinceku zasezimwakala.
And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
66 UPetro esegumeni ngaphansi, kwafika enye yezincekukazi zompristi omkhulu;
And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there comes one of the maids of the high priest:
67 isibona uPetro esotha, yamkhangela yathi: Lawe ubulomNazaretha, uJesu.
And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And you also were with Jesus of Nazareth.
68 Kodwa waphika, wathi: Kangikwazi, futhi kangikuqedisisi okutshoyo. Wasephuma phandle, waya entubeni; laselikhala iqhude.
But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what you say. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69 Njalo incekukazi encane yabuya yambona, yaqala ukutsho kwababemi khona ukuthi: Lo ungomunye wabo.
And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This 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 he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely you are one of them: for you are a Galilaean, and your speech agrees thereto.
71 Waseqala ukuqalekisa lokufunga esithi: Kangimazi lumuntu elimtshoyo.
But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom all of you speak.
72 Iqhude laselikhala ngokwesibili. UPetro wasekhumbula ilizwi uJesu ayelitshilo kuye lokuthi: Lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu. Esenakane ngalokhu wakhala.
And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word (rhema) that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, you shall deny me three times. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
