1 Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile wonke lamazwi, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
U Yesu lwabhamala ayanje inongwa ezyo zyonti, akhabhawozizye abhanafunzi wakwe,
2 Liyazi ukuthi emva kwensuku ezimbili kuzakuba liphasika, leNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ukuze ibethelwe.
“Mumenye aje baada yisiku zibhile huzabhe ishikulukulu ishi pasaka na umwana wa Adamu bhanza hufumye hukhobhehanye.”
3 Kwasekubuthana abapristi abakhulu lababhali labadala babantu egumeni lompristi omkhulu othiwa nguKayafasi,
Pamande abhagosi wi makuhani nabhagogolo bha bhantu, bhakhatangeni peka hwakhala ukukhani ugosi yakhakwiziwanga Kayafa.
4 basebecebisana ukuthi bambambe uJesu ngobuqili bambulale.
Bhahali peka bhakhapanga ishahukhate u Yesu husiri na hubude.
5 Kodwa bathi: Kungabi ngomkhosi, ukuthi kungabi khona isiphithiphithi ebantwini.
Bhakhajili isakhawombeshe uwakati wa sikulukulu, aje isahafumile ivurugu hwabhantu.”
6 Kwathi uJesu eseBethani endlini kaSimoni umlephero,
U Yesu lwahali Hubethania hunyumba ya Simoni mkoma,
7 kwafika kuye owesifazana ephethe umfuma we-alibasta ulamagcobo aligugu elikhulu, wasewuthululela ekhanda lakhe ehlezi ekudleni.
lwahaigolosizye pameza, ushi weka akhezele akhanyumuye umkembe wahali na mafuta igi samani ingosi, akhanyunyulizya pitwe lyakwe.
8 Kodwa abafundi bebona lokhu bathukuthela, bathi: Ngokwani ukumotsha lokhu?
Lakini abhanafunzi wakwe lwabhalola ijambo elyo bhakhavitilwe nayanje, “Yenu ihasala ine?
9 Ngoba la amagcobo angathengiswa ngokunengi, besekunikwa abayanga.
Ega tahabhajie ishiasi shigosi tibhapele abhapena.”
10 Kodwa uJesu ekwazi wathi kubo: Limhluphelani owesifazana? Ngoba wenzile umsebenzi omuhle kimi;
Lakini u Yesu, akhamenye eli, akhabhawuzya, “Shunu muhunavya ushe uno? Maana awombile ishintuishinza huline.
11 ngoba abayanga lihlala lilabo, kodwa mina kalihlali lilami.
Abhapena mlinao isiku zyonti, lakini sangamzabhe peka nane wila.
12 Ngoba ngokuthululela la amagcobo emzimbeni wami, ukwenzele umngcwabo wami.
Hwapashile amafuta mpele gwana, awombile esho kwa ajili ya sielwe ane.
13 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngaphi emhlabeni wonke lapho okuzatshunyayelwa khona lelivangeli, lalokho akwenzileyo kuzakhulunywa ngakho, kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.
Lyoli ihumbawozya, poponti izwi eli linzalimbelelwe munsi mwonti, ishitendo shawombile ushe uno, nantele shinzayangwa kwa ajili ya kumboshe.”
14 Omunye wabalitshumi lambili, othiwa nguJudasi Iskariyothi, wasesiya kubapristi abakhulu,
Weka wa bhala kumi na bhabhile, yahakwiziwanga Yuda Iskariote, akhabhalile huwagosi bha makuhani
15 wathi: Livuma ukunginikani, mina-ke ngizamnikela kini? Basebevumelana laye ngenhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu.
na yange, “Mnza hupeleshi nkisalinti?” Bhakhapimila u Yuda ivipande selathini ivihela.
16 Njalo kusukela lapho wadinga ithuba elihle lokumnikela.
Ahwande umuda ugo ahazile inafasi yahusaliti.
17 Kwathi ngolokuqala lwesinkwa esingelamvubelo abafundi beza kuJesu, besithi kuye: Uthanda ukuthi sikulungisele ngaphi ukuthi udle iphasika?
Hata isiku iliahuande makate gasanga gaweshelwe ichachu, abhanafunzi bhahamalila u Yesu na yanje, “Uhwanza hwi tiweshele ishalye shi Pasaka?”
18 Wasesithi: Hambani liye emzini kumuntu othile, lithi kuye: UMfundisi uthi: Isikhathi sami sesiseduze; ngizakwenza iphasika kwakho kanye labafundi bami.
Akhabhawozya, “Bhalaji humjini hwa muntu fulani na mumwonzye, Umwalimu ayinga, “Umuda gwakwe ukalibiye. Ahwanza huimalezye ipasaka peka na bhanafunzi wakwe hu nyumba yakho.”
19 Benza-ke abafundi njengoba uJesu ebalayile, basebelungisa iphasika.
Abhanafunzi bhakhawomba nazi u Yesu shabhalajizizye, na bhakhandaile ishalye ishi Pasaka.
20 Kwathi sekuhlwile wayehlezi labalitshumi lambili.
Lwayafika iliewela, akhakheye alye ishalye peka na bhanafunzi wakwe kumi na bhabhile.
21 Bathi besidla wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Omunye wenu uzanginikela.
Lwabhalianga ishalye ahabhawonzya, “Lyoli ihumbawozya aje weka kati yunyu anzahusaliti.”
22 Basebedabuka kakhulu baqala ukuthi kuye ngamunye wabo: Nkosi, ayisimi, akunjalo yini?
Bhakhazungumiye sana, weka weka bhahandile humwonzye, “Je, saga nene, Bwana?”
23 Wasephendula wathi: Ofaka isandla sakhe kanye lami emganwini, nguye ozanginikela.
Ahabhawozya, “Ula yanzatobhele inyobhe yakwe peka nane humbakuli yanza husaliti.
24 Sibili iNdodana yomuntu ihamba, njengokulotshiweyo ngayo; kodwa maye kulowomuntu iNdodana yomuntu enikelwa nguye! Bekungakuhle kuye aluba lowomuntu wayengazalwanga.
Umwana wa Adamu azasogole, nanzi shisimbililwe. Lakini umuntu yanza husaliti umwana wa Adamu! Indishinza hwa muntu uyo nkasanga ahapapwilwe.”
25 Wasephendula uJudasi owamnikelayo wathi: Rabi, ayisimi, akunjalo yini? Wathi kuye: Utshilo wena.
U Yuda, ula ahali msaliti akhayanga, “Je!, Nene Rabi?” U Yesu ahamonzya, “Uyanjile ijambo elyo awe wewe.”
26 Kwathi besidla, uJesu wathatha isinkwa, wasesibusisa, wasihlephula wabanika abafundi, wathi: Thathani, lidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami.
Lwabhalianga ishalye, u Yesu ahenjile ikate, alisaya na akhamenya. Ahabhapela abhanafunzi wakwe akhayanga, “Eji mlye. Ungu bele gwane.”
27 Wasethatha inkezo, wabonga, wabanika, esithi: Nathani lonke kuyo;
Ahenga ishikombe ahasalipya, ahabhapela na yanje, “Mwelaji mwenti hweshi.
28 ngoba lokhu kuligazi lami, elesivumelwano esitsha, elichithelwa abanengi kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono.
Ene danda yaindagano yane, yihwitikha kwa ajili ya winchi hubhasajile imbibhi zyao.
29 Kodwa ngithi kini: Kusukela khathesi kangiyikunatha okwalesisithelo sevini, kuze kufike lolosuku lapho ngizasinatha lani sisitsha embusweni kaBaba.
Lakini ihumbawhozya sanganahimwela antele amadondu ga mizabibu ega, hadi namwe huumwene wa Daada wane.”
30 Kwathi sebehlabele ingoma yokudumisa baphuma baya entabeni yeMihlwathi.
Lwabhamalezya ahwembe ulwembo, bhakhasogola abhle hwigamba ilya mizeituni.
31 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lina lonke lizakhubeka ngami ngalobubusuku; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngizatshaya umelusi, izimvu zomhlambi besezihlakazeka.
Nantele u Yesu akhawozya usiku uwhu amwe mwonti vitwe kwa ajili yane, kwa kuwa iyandihulilwe, Inzahukhome umchungaji ngole bhanza tabhanyishe.
32 Kodwa emva kokuvuswa kwami, ngizalandulela ukuya eGalili.
Lakini lwanazyokha ane nakhaibhata ngalila abhale Hugalilaya.”
33 Kodwa uPetro waphendula wathi kuye: Lanxa bonke bezakhubeka ngawe, mina angisoze ngikhubeke.
Lakini u Petro akhamwonzya, “Hata nkawonti bhakhane humambo gaganza hu hwaje, ane sangainza hukhane.”
34 UJesu wathi kuye: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Ngalobubusuku, lingakakhali iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu.
U Yesu akhamwonzya, “Lyoli ihuwonzya, usiku uwhu shisele ihanda akunte, anzahukhane mara hatatu.”
35 UPetro wathi kuye: Loba kudingeka ngife lawe, angisoze ngikuphike. Basebesitsho njalo bonke abafundi.
U Perto akhamwozya, “Hata nkimbajie afye nawe, sangaimbala hukhane.” Na bhanafunzi wonti bhayanga shishesho.
36 UJesu wasefika labo endaweni ethiwa yiGetsemane, wasesithi kubafundi: Hlalani phansi lapha, ngisayakhuleka laphaya.
Pamande u Yesu ahabhala nao amahali papahwetwa Gethsemane na akhabhawonzya abhanafunzi bhakwe, “Khali epa wakati ane imbala ukho alabhe.”
37 Wasethatha kanye laye uPetro lamadodana amabili kaZebediya, waqala ukudabuka lokukhathazeka kakhulu.
Akhamwenga u Petro na abhana bhabhile wa Zebedayo na akhanda azungumile na sononoshe.
38 Wasesithi kubo: Umphefumulo wami udabukile kakhulu kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha lilinde lami.
Nantele akhawonzya, “Umpepo ufinjile wane izungumie pangosi sana, hata ihwanza afye. Lakini epa mubhe masopeka nane.”
39 Waseqhubeka ibangana, wawa ngobuso bakhe wakhuleka wathi: Baba, uba kungenzeka, kakudlule kimi linkezo; kodwa kungabi njengoba ngithanda mina, kodwa njengoba uthanda wena.
Akhabhala pilongolela hadondo, angwa gubama na alabhe. Akhayanga, “Daada wane, nkashe bhajie ishikombe eshi shinepe. Isakhabhe shihwanza ane bali nanzishuhwanza awe.”
40 Wasesiza kubafundi, wabafica belele, wathi kuPetro: Kanti belingelinde lami ihola ibenye?
Akhabhabhalila abhanafunzi ahaweje bhagonile utulo, akhabhawozya Petro, “Shunu sangamlimaso nane hata isala lyeka?
41 Lindani likhuleke, ukuze lingangeni ekulingweni; umoya isibili uyavuma, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka.
Kesyanji na labhe ili msahahinjili mumajaribu. Iroho ili radhi, lakini ubele niwolo.”
42 Wabuya wasuka ngokwesibili wakhuleka, wathi: Baba, uba inkezo le ingedlule kimi, ngaphandle kokuthi ngiyinathe, kayenziwe intando yakho.
Akhabhala wee imala ya bhele na labhe, akhayanga, “Daada wane, ijambo eli sagalibhajie hunepe ni lazima imwelele ishikombe eshe, amapenzi gakho gatimile.”
43 Wasebuya wabafica futhi belele, ngoba amehlo abo ayenzima.
Akhawela nantele akhabhaga wagonile utulo, amasogakho gakhali mamwamu.
44 Wasebatshiya wahamba futhi wakhuleka ngokwesithathu, esitsho wona lawomazwi.
Nantele akhabhalekha akhabhala akhalabha amara ya utatu akhayanga inongwa zizila.
45 Wasesiza kubafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Qhubekani lilele, liphumule; khangelani, isikhathi sesisondele, futhi iNdodana yomuntu iyanikelwa ezandleni zezoni.
Pamande u Yesu akhabhabhalila abhanafunzi wakwe na hubhawhuzye, “Mulisha mgonile tu natozye? Enyanji isaa ilikaribu, na umwana wa Adamu akhatwa mumakhono mwabha bhibhi.
46 Sukumani, sihambe; khangelani, onginikelayo useduze.
Damulaji, tisongolanje. enyi ula yahusalinti akaribiye.”
47 Kwathi esakhuluma, khangela, kwafika uJudasi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili, lexuku elikhulu lilaye elilezinkemba lezinduku, livela kubapristi abakhulu labadala babantu.
Lwakhali bado ayanga, u Yuda weka wa bhala kumi na bhabhile akhenza namapanga ni ndungu.
48 Laye omnikelayo wayebanike isiboniso, esithi: Lowo engizamanga, nguye; limbambe.
Nantele umuntu wahusaliti u Yesu akhabhapelile ishara, ahayenje, ula yinza hubusu, ndiyo yuyo. Khante.”
49 Njalo wahle wasondela kuJesu wathi: Mpilo enhle, Rabi! Wasemanga.
Papepo akhezele hwa Yesu akhayanga, “Salamu, Mwalimu!” Na akhabusu.
50 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Mngane, ulandeni? Basebesondela bamdumela uJesu ngezandla, bambamba.
U Yesu akhamwozya, “Kondani, liwhombe lila ulinalyo lililetile.” Ndipo bhahenza, nagolosye inyobhe hwa Yesu na hukhante.
51 Futhi khangela, omunye walabo ababeloJesu welula isandla, wakhokha inkemba yakhe, wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu waquma indlebe yayo.
Enyi, umuntu weka yakhalipeka nu Yesu, akhagolosesye inyonbhe yakwe, akhachomola ipanga lyakwe, akhakhoma umuomba mbombo wa kuhani ugosi, na hudumule ikutu lyakwe.
52 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Buyisela inkemba yakho endaweni yayo; ngoba bonke abaphatha inkemba bazabhubha ngenkemba.
Ndipo u Yesu akhamuozya, wezya ipanga lyakho puyejile, kwa kuwa wonti bhabhatumila ipanga bhanza hwangamile ni panga.
53 Kumbe ucabanga ukuthi ngingemcele uBaba yini khathesi, futhi anginike amabutho amakhulu ezingilosi edlula itshumi lambili?
Myinga sangaimbajie hukwinzye udaada wane, nape angantumila abhalugu zaidi ya kumi na bhabhile ya awatumi?
54 Pho ingagcwaliseka njani imibhalo, ukuthi kumele ukuthi kube njalo?
Eshi shihwaziwa atokele ili amandiko katimile hwidala elyo?”
55 Ngalelohola uJesu wathi emaxukwini: Liphume njengokuyamelana lomphangi yini lilezinkemba lezinduku ukuzangibamba? Bengihlezi insuku ngensuku ethempelini ngifundisa, kodwa kalingibambanga.
Uwakati whuwho u Yesu akhabhawuzyo bhabhawungene, “Je! Mwenzele namapanga nidungu hukhante nazi yahupa? Kila lisiku nakhakheye namwe mshibhanza, nabhamayizyanga sanga mwakha kheute!
56 Kodwa konke lokhu kwenzakele, ukuze kugcwaliseke imibhalo yabaprofethi. Basebemtshiya bonke abafundi babaleka.
Lakini gonti enga gawombeshe ili amaandiko ga watumi gatimile.” Ndipo abhanafunzi wakwe bhakhanekha bhakhashembela.
57 Lababembambile uJesu bamqhuba bamusa kuKayafasi umpristi omkhulu, lapho ababebuthene khona ababhali labadala.
Bhala bhabhakhate u Yesu bhakhatwala hua Kayafa, ukuhani ugosi, amahali epo abhasimbi na agogolo bhahawongene peka.
58 Kodwa uPetro wamlandela ekhatshana, kwaze kwaba segumeni lompristi omkhulu, njalo wangena phakathi wahlala phansi lezinceku, ukuze abone isicino.
Lakini u Petro akhafuatle hwisinda huhutali mpaka hushumba sha kuhani ugosi. Ahinjila mhanti akhakhala peka nu ninzi alole shashinza fumile.
59 Njalo abapristi abakhulu labadala lomphakathi wonke badinga ubufakazi bamanga obumelana loJesu, ukuze bambulale,
Basi abhagosi bha makuhani ni baraza lyonti liahazanga uushaidi wileukha juu ya Yesu, ili bhapate hubude.
60 kodwa kababutholanga; lanxa kwavela abafakazi abanengi bamanga, ababutholanga. Kwathi emva kwalokho kwavela ababili abafakazi bamanga,
Bhakhafumie amashaidi winchi, lakini sangabhahayeje imbibhi yoyuti. Lakini pamandi amashahidi bhabhile bhakhafumila hwilongolela
61 bathi: Lo wathi: Ngilakho ukudiliza ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, njalo ngilakhe ngensuku ezintathu.
na bhayanga, “Umuntu uno akhayenje, “Imbajiye agwisye ishibhaza isha Ngolobhe na hushizenje nantele husiku zitatu.”
62 Kwasekusukuma umpristi omkhulu wathi kuye: Kawuphenduli lutho yini? Bafakazani laba okumelana lawe?
Ukuhani ugosi ahemelela na humwonzye, “Saga ujibu? Ewa bhahuwhuzya wele juu yakho?”
63 Kodwa uJesu wathula. Umpristi omkhulu wasephendula wathi kuye: Ngikufungisa ngoNkulunkulu ophilayo, ukuthi usitshele ukuthi unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Lakini u Yesu akhapuma mye. Ukuhani ugosi ahamwozya, “Nanzi uNgolobhe shakhala ihulazimisya utawhuzye, awe wewe Klisiti, Umwana wa Ngolobhe.”
64 UJesu wathi kuye: Utshilo wena. Kodwa ngithi kini: Kusukela khathesi lizabona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene samandla isiza phezu kwamayezi ezulu.
U Yesu ahabhawuzya, “Awe wewe uyanjele ijambo elyo. Lakini ihuwozyo, ahwande eshi nahwendelele, unza hunole Umwana wa Adamu akheye ukhono unelo uulinigovo, na ahuenza humawengo gahumwanya.”
65 Umpristi omkhulu wasedabula izembatho zakhe, wathi: Usehlambazile; sisadingelani abafakazi? Khangelani, khathesi seliyizwile inhlamba yakhe;
Ndipo ukuhani ugosi akhazebula amenda gakwe nayanje, “Akhanile! Je, tihwanza washi nayanje uushahidi?
66 licabangani? Basebephendula besithi: Ulecala lokufa.
Je! Msebhashi bhayanga nahumwozye, “Ahuanziwa afye.”
67 Basebemkhafulela amathe ebusweni bamdutshuza; labanye bamwakala,
Nantele bhakhashelela amate humasona hukhome ingumi na huchete amakofi ni nyobhe zyao,
68 bathi: Profetha kithi, Kristu, ngubani okutshayileyo?
na bhakhamuozya, “Yanga, wewe Klisiti. Yunanu yachapile?”
69 UPetro wayesehlezi ngaphandle egumeni; kwasekusiza kuye incekukazi ethile, yathi: Lawe ubuloJesu weGalili.
Isala izyo u Petro ahakheye huoze huu kumbi, umuomba mbombo wishishi ahamalila nahumuozye, “Awe nawe ulipeka nu Yesu wa Galilaua.”
70 Kodwa waphika phambi kwabo bonke, wathi: Kangikwazi lokho okutshoyo.
Lakini ahakhanile hubele yao wonti, ahanga sangaimenye ahantu huyanga.”
71 Kwathi esephuma esiya esangweni, enye incekukazi yambona, yathi kwababekhona: Laye lo ubeloJesu weNazaretha.
Lwabhala hunze huniango, umuomba mbombo uwamwao wishishi ahanola na hubhawhuzyebhabhahali epo, “Umuntu uno nope alipeka nu Yesu wa Nazareti.”
72 Waphika njalo ngesifungo esithi: Kangimazi lumuntu.
Akhakhana tena na lape, ana sangaimenye umuntu uno.”
73 Kwathi emva kwesikhatshana labo ababemi khona basondela bathi kuPetro: Ngeqiniso lawe ungowabo; ngoba lokukhuluma kwakho kuyakuveza.
Umuda kidogo pamande, wala bhabhahemeleye karibu, bhakhamalila nahumuozye u Petro, “Na lyoli awe nawe ulipeka nao, hata njango yakho ilolesya.”
74 Waseqala ukuqalekisa lokufunga esithi: Kangimazi lumuntu. Njalo lahle lakhala iqhude.
Pahandile akhana na lape, ane sanga imenye umuntu uno,” papepo ihanda ikhakuta.
75 UPetro wasekhumbula ilizwi likaJesu esithi kuye: Lingakakhali iqhude, uzangiphika kathathu. Wasephumela ngaphandle wakhala kabuhlungu.
U Petro ahakumbukha inongwa yakhamuozezye u Yesu, kabla yihanda isele akute unza hukhane mara hatatu.”
