UMathewu 27
1 Kwathi sekusile, bonke abapristi abakhulu labadala babantu bacebisana bemelene loJesu ukuthi bambulale;
Omwanya gwa katondo gwejile gwakinga, abhakulu bhone bha bhagabhisi na abhakaluka bha bhanu nibhalwajila ebhya Yesu bhabhone okumwita.
2 sebembophile bamqhuba bamnikela kuPontiyusi Pilatu umbusi.
Nibhamubhoya, nibhamutangasha, na ni bhamukingya kwa liwali Pilato.
3 Kwathi uJudasi owamnikelayo esebonile ukuthi ulahliwe, wazisola wabuyisela inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu kubapristi abakhulu labadala,
Mbe omwanya Yuda unu aliga amulomee iniku, ajile alola ati Yesu amalile kulamulwa, nanega no kusubhya ebhibhutu makumi gasatu ebhya jiela ku mukulu wa abhagabhisi na abhakaluka,
4 wathi: Ngonile nginikele igazi elingelacala. Kodwa bona bathi: Kulani lathi? Zibonele wena.
na naika ati, “Nakola echibhibhi kwo kulomela iniku amanyiga ganu gatali na chikayo.” Nawe nibhamusubhya ati, ejichigasa chinuki eswe? Nugalole ago awe omwene.”
5 Wasephosela inhlamvu zesiliva ethempelini, wasuka; wayaziphanyeka.
Mbe niwo nabhyesa ansi bhiliya ebhibhutu bhya jiela muyekalu nagenda jae no kwinyiga omwene.
6 Abapristi abakhulu basebethatha inhlamvu zesiliva bathi: Kakuvunyelwa ukuzifaka emnikelweni, ngoba ziyintengo yegazi.
Omukulu wa bhagabhisi abhigegele bhilia ebhibhutu bhya jiyela naikati,” jiteile okutula jiyela jinu bhwikilo, kulwokubha nibhugusi bhwa manyinga!
7 Basebecebisana bathenga ngazo isiqinti sombumbi, sibe ngesokungcwaba abezizwe.
Nibhalwajila amwi na jiyela nijikola okugulila lisambu lyo mumogi elyokusikamo abhagenyi.
8 Ngakho lesosiqinti sathiwa yisiqinti segazi, kuze kube lamuhla.
ijuno inu nikwo elibha nilitogwa, “lisambu lyamanyinga” okukinga lelo linu.
9 Kwasekugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uJeremiya, esithi: Basebethatha inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu, intengo yalowo owalinganiswayo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli abamlinganisayo;
Mbenio ligambo Lilia lyaliga lyaikilwe no mulagi Yelemia lyakumie, okwaikati, “Bhagegele ebhibhutu makumi gasatu ebhya jiyela, obhugusi bhunu bhwalomelwe na bhanu Bhaisiraeli kumwene,
10 basebebapha zona ngensimu yombumbi, njengoba iNkosi ingilayile.
Nibhakolela kwisambu lyo mumogi, lwa kutyo Latabhugenyi aliga andagilie.”
11 UJesu wasesima phambi kombusi; umbusi wasembuza, wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? UJesu wasesithi: Utshilo wena.
Oli Yesu emeleguyu imbele ya liwali, na liwali namubhusha ati, angu awe nawe Omukama wa bhayaudi? “Yesu amusubhishe ati,”nawe owaika kutyo,”
12 Kwathi nxa esemangalelwe ngabapristi abakhulu labadala, kaphendulanga lutho.
Nawe omwanya ogwo asitakibhwe na bhakulu bha bhagabhisi na bhakulu, atasubhishe chona chona.
13 UPilatu wasesithi kuye: Kawuzwa yini izinto ezingaka abazifakaza ngawe?
Mbe nio Pilato namubhila ati uchalikungwa amasitako gone kwawe?”
14 Kodwa kamphendulanga lakwelilodwa ilizwi, waze wamangala kakhulu umbusi.
Nawe atamusubhishe nolwo musango gumwi, ndijei Liwali nejulwa nechilugulo.
15 Futhi ngomkhosi umbusi wayejwayele ukukhululela ixuku isibotshwa esisodwa, elisifunayo.
Nawe musiku ja musikuku yaliga ili tungwa ya Liwali okusulumula umwi unu kasolwa na liijo.
16 Njalo ngalesosikhathi babelesibotshwa esidumileyo, esithiwa nguBarabasi.
Omwanya ogwo bhaliga no mubhoywa mukumuke lisina lyae Balaba.
17 Ngakho sebebuthene, uPilatu wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani, uBarabasi, kumbe uJesu othiwa nguKristu?
Kutyo omwanya ogwo bhaliga bhwekofyanyishe amwi, Pilato abhasubhishe ati, “Niuya omwenda chibhasulumulile kulwemwe?” Baraba angu Yesu unu katogwa Kristo?”
18 Ngoba wayekwazi ukuthi bamnikele ngomona.
Okubha amenyele ati bhamalile okumugwatila lwiso.
19 Kwathi esehlezi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, umkakhe wathumela kuye, wathi: Ungabi landaba lalowo olungileyo; ngoba lamuhla ngihluphekile kakhulu ngaye ephutsheni.
Omwanya aliga achenyanjile kuchitebhe chae echo kulamulila, omugasi wae amutumie musango naikati wasiga kukola musango gwone gwone ku munu oyo atali na chikayo okubha nanyasibhwa muno nolwo lelo muchiloto kubhwae.”
20 Kodwa abapristi abakhulu labadala bancengana lamaxuku ukuthi acele uBarabasi, ambhubhise uJesu.
Mbe nio abhakulu bha bhagabhisi na bhakaluka nibhabhakongya kongya liijo bhamusabhwe Baraba, na Yesu afwe.
21 Wasephendula umbusi wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani kulaba ababili? Basebesithi: UBarabasi.
Liwali abhabhusishe ati,” Ni uya omwenda nibhasulumulile kwimwe bhaikile ati,”Baraba.”
22 UPilatu wathi kubo: Pho ngimenzeni uJesu othiwa nguKristu? Bonke bathi kuye: Kabethelwe.
Pilato nabhabhwila ati kambe nimukolele chinuki Yesu unu katogwa Kristo? Bhone nibhasubya ati,” abhambwe”
23 Umbusi wasesithi: Ngoba wenze bubi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu, bathi: Kabethelwe!
Omwene naika ati, “kubhaki nichikayoki akolele? “Nawe nibeyongesha kusekana obhulaka bhwa ingulu muno, “Abhambwe.”
24 Kwathi uPilatu esebonile ukuthi kakusizi lutho, kodwa ukuthi kwasekuqala kulalokhu ukuba lesiphithiphithi, wathatha amanzi, wageza izandla phambi kwexuku, wathi: Angilacala ngegazi lalumuntu olungileyo; ziboneleni lina.
Kutyo omwanya Pilato ejile alola ati, atakutila okukola lyone lyone, nawe obhusambe bwaliga bwambile, agegele amanji nesabha amabhoko gae imbele ya liijo, naika ati, “Anye nitana chikayo ingulu ya manyinga go munu unu atali na chikayo. Mugalole emwe abhwene.”
25 Bonke abantu basebephendula bathi: Igazi lakhe kalibe phezu kwethu laphezu kwabantwana bethu.
Abhanu bhone nibhaikana ati, “Amanyinga Gaye gabhe ingilu yeswe na bhana bhweswe.”
26 Wasebakhululela uBarabasi; kodwa esemtshaye ngesiswepu uJesu wamnikela ukuthi abethelwe.
Nio nabhasulumulila Baraba kwebhwe, nawe amubhumile emijaledi Yesu namukabhiji kwebhwe okuja okumubhamba.
27 Abebutho bombusi basebemngenisa uJesu endlini yombusi, baqoqela kuye ibutho lonke;
Mbe nio abhasilikale abhaliwali nibhamugega Yesu mpaka Praitorio na eiijo lyafu lya bhasilikale bhone nibhamwikofyanyishako.
28 bamhlubula, bamgqokisa isembatho esibomvu,
Nibhamufula emyenda jae nibhamufwafya ikanju ya ilangi imutuku.
29 sebelukile umqhele wameva, bamethesa wona ekhanda, bamphathisa lomhlanga esandleni sakhe sokunene; baguqa phambi kwakhe bamklolodela, bathi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda!
Mbe nibhaluka olutenga lwamawa no kuitulila ingulu yo mutwe gwae, na nibhamutulilao lisekeyanda mukubhoko kwae okwebhulyo. Nibhafukama imbele yae nibhamujimya, nibhaika ati, “kasige omukama wa bhayaudi?”
30 Bamkhafulela amathe, bathatha umhlanga, batshaya ikhanda lakhe.
Na nibhamufubhulila amachwata, na nibhagega lisekeyanda na nibhamubhumila mumutwe.
31 Sebemklolodele, bamhlubula isembatho, bamgqokisa izigqoko zakhe, bamqhuba ukuze bambethele.
Omwanya gunu bhaliga nibhamujimya, bhamufulile ikanju iliya nibhamufwafya emyenda jae nibhamutagasha okugenda okumubhamba.
32 Kwathi sebephuma, bafica umuntu weKurene, uSimoni ngebizo; bambamba ngamandla lowo ukuthi athwale isiphambano sakhe.
Anu bhaliga bhachauluka anja. Nibhamulola omunu okusoka Krene lisina lyae Simoni, oyo nibhamunyasha okugenda nabho koleleki abhone okugega omusalabha gwae.
33 Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa yiGolgotha, okuyikuthi iNdawo yokhakhayi,
Bhwejile bhakinga anu atogwaga goligota, isonga yacho, olubhala lwo lwanga lwo mutwe.”
34 bamnika iviniga elixutshaniswe lenyongo ukuze alinathe; kodwa eselizwile kavumanga ukunatha.
Nibhamuyana isiki isasibhwemo na idulu anywe.
35 Futhi sebembethele, baba izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi ukuthi: Babelana izembatho zami, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngesigqoko sami.
Omwanya nibhamala okumubhamba, bagabhene emyenda jae kwo kubhuma ikula.
36 Njalo sebehlala phansi bamlinda khona.
Na nibhwenyaja nibhamulolela.
37 Babeka ngaphezu kwekhanda lakhe incwadi yecala lakhe ilotshiwe ukuthi: LO NGUJESU INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
Ingulu yo mutwe gwae bhateyeo intambala yae inu yaliga yandikilwe ati unu ni Yesu omukama wa Bhayaudi.”
38 Kwasekubethelwa abaphangi ababili kanye laye, omunye ngakwesokunene lomunye ngakwesokhohlo.
Abhasakusi bhabhili bhabhambilwe amwi nage, oumwi olubhala lwebhulyo lyae no undi kubhwebhumosi.
39 Labadlulayo bamhlambaza, benikina amakhanda abo,
Abhanu bhaliga nibhaiting'ana nibhamufuma nibhasingishaha emitwe jebhwe.
40 besithi: Wena odiliza ithempeli ulakhe ngensuku ezintathu, zisindise; uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yehla esiphambanweni.
Nibhaika ati,” awe unu wendaga okufumya iyekalu na nuyumbaka musiku esatu, nuwikishe omwene! Alabha uli mwana wa Nyamuanga, ikaansi usoke kumusalabha!”
41 Langokunjalo labapristi abakhulu labo bekloloda kanye lababhali labadala bathi:
Nyabhuliko one abhakulu abhabhagabhisi bhaliga Ni bhamugombelesha amwi na bhandiki na bhakaluka nibhaika ati,
42 Wasindisa abanye, yena angezisindise. Uba eyiNkosi yakoIsrayeli, kehle khathesi esiphambanweni, futhi sizamkholwa.
Akishaga abhandi, nawe atakutula okwikisha omwenene. Omwene ni mukama wa Bhayaudi. Natuke ansi okusoka kumusalabha, nio jechimwikilishe.
43 Wathemba kuNkulunkulu; kamkhulule khathesi, uba emthanda. Ngoba wathi: NgiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Eikanyishe Nyamuanga siga Nyamuanga amukishe olyanu labha Kenda, okubha aikile ati,' Anye nili mwana wa Nyamuanga.”
44 Labaphangi ababebethelwe kanye laye bamyangisa ngokufananayo.
Na bhalia abhasakusi abho bhaliga babhambilwe amwi nage one bhaikile emisango jokumufuma.
45 Njalo kusukela ngehola lesithupha kwaba lobumnyama emhlabeni wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye;
Oli kusoka saa mukaga chabheyeo echisute kuchalo chone okukinga saa mwenda.
46 sekungaba lihola lesificamunwemunye uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: "Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani?" Okuyikuthi: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungitshiyeleni?
Yejile yakinga saa mwenda Yesu nalila kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu, “Eloi, Eloi lama Saba kitani?” Isonga ati, “Nyamuanga wani, Nyamuanga wani. Ni kulwaki wasiga?”
47 Njalo abanye kwababemi khona besizwa bathi: Lo ubiza uElija.
Omwanya ogwo abhandi bhabhili bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu ao bhoguywe, nibhaika ati kabhilikila Eliya.”
48 Njalo omunye wabo wahle wagijima, wathatha uzipho, walugcwalisa ngeviniga, waluhloma emhlangeni, wamnika ukuthi anathe.
Ao nao oumwi wabho abhilimile nagega isifongo naijusha ebhyokunywa bhilulu, naitula ingulu ya liti namuyana abhone okunywa.
49 Kodwa abanye bathi: Yekelani sibone ukuthi uElija uzakuza amsindise.
Ka bhanu bhasigae nibhaika ati mumusige enyele ela musige chilole labha Eliya kaja okumukisha.”
50 UJesu wasebuya ememeza ngelizwi elikhulu wanikela umoya.
Mbe nio Yesu nalila lindi kwo bhulaka bhunene nasosha omwoyo gwae.
51 Futhi khangela, iveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa incezu ezimbili laqala phezulu lisiya phansi; lomhlaba wazamazama; lamadwala aqhekezeka;
Lola, lipajia lya iyekalu lyatikilemo mabhala gabhili okusokelela ingulu kukinga emwalo. Na Insi niyalala na amatale nigatika bhibhala.
52 lamangcwaba avuleka; lezidumbu ezinengi zabangcwele abasebelele zavuswa;
Jifwa nijiguka, ne mibhili eja bhelu bhafu bhanu bhaliga bhamamile jitilo nibhasululwa.
53 sebephumile emangcwabeni emva kokuvuka kwakhe bangena emzini ongcwele, babonakala kwabanengi.
Bhasokele munfwa kwo kumala okusuluka kwae, bhengie mumusi omwelu na bhabhonekene bhafu.
54 Kwathi induna yekhulu lalabo ababelayo belinde uJesu, sebebonile ukuzamazama komhlaba lezinto ezenzekileyo, besaba kakhulu, bathi: Ngeqiniso lo ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Nawe uliya Akida na bhalia abho bhaliga nibhamulola Yesu bhalolele echiyalalo namamagambo ganu gabhonekene, bhejuwe no bhubha muno nibhaikana ati, “Nichimali unu ali Mwana wa Nyamuanga.”
55 Kwakukhona lapho abesifazana abanengi bebukele bekhatshana, ababemlandele uJesu bevela eGalili, bemncedisa;
Abhagasi bhafu bhanu bhaliga nibhamulubhilisha Yesu okusoka Galilaya bhanu bhamufulubhendelaga bhaliga bhalio aliya nibhalolaga okusoka kula.
56 okwakukhona phakathi kwabo oMariya Magadalena, loMariya unina kaJakobe loJose, lonina wamadodana kaZebediya.
Mwabho aliga alimo Mariamu Magdarena, Mariamu nyilamwene Yakobho na Josefu na nyilamwene abhana bha Jebhedayo.
57 Kwathi sekuhlwile, kwafika umuntu onothileyo evela eArimathiya, ibizo lakhe linguJosefa, owayengumfundi kaJesu laye;
Yejile yakinga kegolo, ejile munu munibhi okusoka Alimataya, unu atogwaga Yusufu, unu one aliga mwiigisibhwa wa Yesu.
58 yena waya kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu. UPilatu waselaya ukuthi isidumbu asinikwe.
Agendelee ku Pilato nagusabhwa omubhili gwa Yesu. Mbe niwo Pilato nalagilila abhone okumuyana.
59 UJosefa wasethatha isidumbu wasigoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo elihlambulukileyo,
Yusufu agegele omubhili nagubhoya no mwenda gwa isufu ya kisi,
60 wasibeka engcwabeni lakhe elitsha, elaligujiwe edwaleni; wasegiqela ilitshe elikhulu emnyango wengcwaba, wahamba.
na nagumamya munfwa inyaya ya inu aliga asimbile kulutale, niwo nasilingisha libhui enene niliswikila omulyango gwa infwa nagenda jae.
61 Futhi kwakukhona lapho uMariya Magadalena, lomunye uMariya, behlezi maqondana lengcwaba.
Mariamu magdarena na Mariamu oundi bhaliga bhalio alia bhenyanjile bhasomekene na infwa.
62 Langosuku olulandelayo, olulandela olwamalungiselelo, abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babuthana kuPilatu,
Olusiku olwo lwalubhie olwo lwaliga lusiku olwo kwilabha, abhakulu bha bhagabhisi na abhafarisayo nibhekofyanyisha amwi ewa pilato.
63 besithi: Nkosi, siyakhumbula ukuthi lowomkhohlisi esaphila wathi: Emva kwensuku ezintathu ngizavuka.
Nibhamubhwila ati, “Mukulu echijuka ati omwanya gulia omubhei aliga achali muanga, aikile ati, alibha jatulao nsiku esatu ndisuka lindi.'
64 Ngakho laya ukuthi ingcwaba liqiniswe kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu; hlezi abafundi bakhe bafike ebusuku bamebe, besebesithi ebantwini: Uvukile kwabafileyo; kuthi inkohliso yokucina ibembi kuleyokuqala.
Mbe kulwejo lagilila ati infwa ilindwe kata kukinga ku lusiku lwa kasatu. Bhindi nebyo, abheigisibhwa bhae abhatula okuja okumwibha na nibhaikana ku bhanu, 'Asulukile okusoka mu bhafuye' na okubheya kwa kubhutelo obhubha bhubhibhi okukila bhulia obho kwamba.”
65 UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Lilabalindi; hambani, liliqinise njengokubona kwenu.
Pilato nabhabhwila ati, “Mugege abhalisi. Mugende mukole iyali yo mulembe lwa kutyo omutula.
66 Bahamba-ke baliqinisa ingcwaba, beliphawula ilitshe, belabalindi.
Kutyo bhagendele na nibhakola infwa kubha mulembe, libhui lyabhumilwe echibhalikisho no kutulako abhalisi.
