1 Kwathi sekusile, bonke abapristi abakhulu labadala babantu bacebisana bemelene loJesu ukuthi bambulale;
Kwakati kwaedza, vapristi vakuru vese nevakuru vevanhu vakarangana kupikisa Jesu kuti vamuuraye.
2 sebembophile bamqhuba bamnikela kuPontiyusi Pilatu umbusi.
Vakati vamusunga vakamutungamidza ndokunomukumikidza kuna Pondiyo Pirato mutungamiriri.
3 Kwathi uJudasi owamnikelayo esebonile ukuthi ulahliwe, wazisola wabuyisela inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu kubapristi abakhulu labadala,
Zvino Judhasi wakange amutengesa aona kuti wapiwa mhosva, akazvidya moyo akadzosera makobiri esirivheri makumi matatu kuvapristi vakuru nevakuru,
4 wathi: Ngonile nginikele igazi elingelacala. Kodwa bona bathi: Kulani lathi? Zibonele wena.
achiti: Ndatadza, ndatengesa ropa risina mhosva. Vakati: Zvinei nesu? Zvionere iwe.
5 Wasephosela inhlamvu zesiliva ethempelini, wasuka; wayaziphanyeka.
Akakanda makobiri esirivheri mutembere, akabva akaenda akanozvisungirira.
6 Abapristi abakhulu basebethatha inhlamvu zesiliva bathi: Kakuvunyelwa ukuzifaka emnikelweni, ngoba ziyintengo yegazi.
Vapristi vakuru vakatora makobiri esirivheri vakati: Hazvitenderwi kuaisa muchivigiro chezvipo, nokuti mutengo weropa.
7 Basebecebisana bathenga ngazo isiqinti sombumbi, sibe ngesokungcwaba abezizwe.
Vakarangana, vakatenga nawo munda wemuumbi wehari, uve wekuviga vatorwa.
8 Ngakho lesosiqinti sathiwa yisiqinti segazi, kuze kube lamuhla.
Naizvozvo munda uyo wakanzi munda weropa kusvikira nhasi.
9 Kwasekugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uJeremiya, esithi: Basebethatha inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu, intengo yalowo owalinganiswayo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli abamlinganisayo;
Zvino zvakazadziswa zvakarehwa naJeremiya muporofita achiti: Vakabva vatora makobiri esirivheri makumi matatu, mutengo waiye wakatarirwa mutengo, iye vana vaIsraeri wavakatarira mutengo;
10 basebebapha zona ngensimu yombumbi, njengoba iNkosi ingilayile.
vakaaripira munda wemuumbi wehari, saShe zvaakandiraira.
11 UJesu wasesima phambi kombusi; umbusi wasembuza, wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? UJesu wasesithi: Utshilo wena.
Zvino Jesu wakamira pamberi pemutungamiriri. Mutungamiriri akamubvunza achiti: Iwe uri mambo weVaJudha here? Jesu akati kwaari: Unoreva iwe.
12 Kwathi nxa esemangalelwe ngabapristi abakhulu labadala, kaphendulanga lutho.
Asi wakati achipomerwa mhosva nevapristi vakuru nevakuru, haana kupindura chinhu.
13 UPilatu wasesithi kuye: Kawuzwa yini izinto ezingaka abazifakaza ngawe?
Pirato ndokuti kwaari: Haunzwi kuti zvinhu zvingani zvavanopupura kupokana newe here?
14 Kodwa kamphendulanga lakwelilodwa ilizwi, waze wamangala kakhulu umbusi.
Asi haana kumupindura kunyange pashoko rimwe chete, zvekuti mutungamiriri wakashamisika zvikuru.
15 Futhi ngomkhosi umbusi wayejwayele ukukhululela ixuku isibotshwa esisodwa, elisifunayo.
Zvino pamutambo mutungamiriri aiva netsika yekusunungurira chaunga musungwa umwe wavanenge vada.
16 Njalo ngalesosikhathi babelesibotshwa esidumileyo, esithiwa nguBarabasi.
Uye nenguva iyo vaiva nemusungwa wakakurumbira wainzi Bharabhasi.
17 Ngakho sebebuthene, uPilatu wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani, uBarabasi, kumbe uJesu othiwa nguKristu?
Naizvozvo vakati vaungana, Pirato akati kwavari: Ndeupi wamunoda kuti ndikusunungurirei: Bharabhasi kana Jesu anonzi Kristu?
18 Ngoba wayekwazi ukuthi bamnikele ngomona.
Nokuti wakange achiziva kuti vakange vamukumikidza negodo.
19 Kwathi esehlezi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, umkakhe wathumela kuye, wathi: Ungabi landaba lalowo olungileyo; ngoba lamuhla ngihluphekile kakhulu ngaye ephutsheni.
Zvino wakati agara pachigaro chekutonga, mukadzi wake akatumira kwaari, achiti: Usava nechokuita neuyo wakarurama, nokuti ndatambudzika zvinhu zvizhinji nhasi muchiroto pamusoro pake.
20 Kodwa abapristi abakhulu labadala bancengana lamaxuku ukuthi acele uBarabasi, ambhubhise uJesu.
Asi vapristi vakuru nevakuru vakakumbirisa zvaunga kuti vakumbire Bharabhasi, vaparadze Jesu.
21 Wasephendula umbusi wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani kulaba ababili? Basebesithi: UBarabasi.
Mutungamiriri akapindura akati kwavari: Ndeupi wevaviri wamunoda kuti ndikusunungurirei? Ivo vakati: Bharabhasi.
22 UPilatu wathi kubo: Pho ngimenzeni uJesu othiwa nguKristu? Bonke bathi kuye: Kabethelwe.
Pirato akati kwavari: Ko ndichamuitei Jesu anonzi Kristu? Vese vakati kwaari: Ngaarovererwe pamuchinjikwa.
23 Umbusi wasesithi: Ngoba wenze bubi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu, bathi: Kabethelwe!
Zvino mutungamiriri akati: Nokuti wakaita chii chakaipa? Asi vakanyanya kudanidzira vachiti: Ngaarovererwe pamuchinjikwa!
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.
Pirato wakati achiona kuti hazvibatsiri chinhu asi kutoti poita bongozozo, wakatora mvura akageza maoko pamberi pechaunga achiti: Handina mhosva neropa reuyu wakarurama; muchazvionera imwi.
25 Bonke abantu basebephendula bathi: Igazi lakhe kalibe phezu kwethu laphezu kwabantwana bethu.
Vanhu vese ndokupindura vakati: Ropa rake ngarive pamusoro pedu nepamusoro pevana vedu.
26 Wasebakhululela uBarabasi; kodwa esemtshaye ngesiswepu uJesu wamnikela ukuthi abethelwe.
Zvino akavasunungurira Bharabhasi, asi wakati arova Jesu netyava, akamukumikidza kuti arovererwe pamuchinjikwa.
27 Abebutho bombusi basebemngenisa uJesu endlini yombusi, baqoqela kuye ibutho lonke;
Zvino mauto emutungamiriri akaisa Jesu mumba memutungamiriri, hondo yese ikaunganira kwaari.
28 bamhlubula, bamgqokisa isembatho esibomvu,
Vakamukurura, vakamupfekedza nguvo tsvuku.
29 sebelukile umqhele wameva, bamethesa wona ekhanda, bamphathisa lomhlanga esandleni sakhe sokunene; baguqa phambi kwakhe bamklolodela, bathi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda!
Vakati varuka korona yeminzwa, ndokupfekedza musoro wake, nerutsanga muruoko rwake rwerudyi. Vakafugama pamberi pake vakamuseka vachiti: Hekanhi, Mambo weVaJudha!
30 Bamkhafulela amathe, bathatha umhlanga, batshaya ikhanda lakhe.
Vakamupfira, ndokutora rutsanga vakamurova mumusoro wake.
31 Sebemklolodele, bamhlubula isembatho, bamgqokisa izigqoko zakhe, bamqhuba ukuze bambethele.
Vakati vamuseka, vakamukurura nguvo, vakamupfekedza nguvo dzake vakamuendesa kunoroverera pamuchinjikwa.
32 Kwathi sebephuma, bafica umuntu weKurene, uSimoni ngebizo; bambamba ngamandla lowo ukuthi athwale isiphambano sakhe.
Vakati vachibuda, vakawana munhu weKurini, wainzi Simoni. Vakamumanikidza uyu kuti atakure muchinjikwa wake.
33 Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa yiGolgotha, okuyikuthi iNdawo yokhakhayi,
Vakati vasvika panzvimbo inonzi Gorogota, ndiko kuti, Nzvimbo yedehenya,
34 bamnika iviniga elixutshaniswe lenyongo ukuze alinathe; kodwa eselizwile kavumanga ukunatha.
vakamupa vhiniga yakavhenganiswa nenduru kuti anwe; asi wakati aravira akasada kunwa.
35 Futhi sebembethele, baba izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi ukuthi: Babelana izembatho zami, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngesigqoko sami.
Vakati vamuroverera pamuchinjikwa, vakagovana nguvo dzake vachikanda mujenya, kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa nemuporofita zvinoti: Vakagovana nguvo dzangu pakati pavo, vakakanda mujenya pamusoro pechekupfeka changu.
36 Njalo sebehlala phansi bamlinda khona.
Uye vakagara pasi, vakamurindapo.
37 Babeka ngaphezu kwekhanda lakhe incwadi yecala lakhe ilotshiwe ukuthi: LO NGUJESU INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
Vakaisa pamusoro pemusoro wake rugwaro rwemhosva yake rwakanyorwa kuti: UYU NDIJESU MAMBO WEVAJUDHA.
38 Kwasekubethelwa abaphangi ababili kanye laye, omunye ngakwesokunene lomunye ngakwesokhohlo.
Ndokurovererwa pamuchinjikwa makororo maviri pamwe naye, umwe kuruoko rwerudyi, umwe kuruboshwe.
39 Labadlulayo bamhlambaza, benikina amakhanda abo,
Vakange vachipfuura vakamunyomba, vachidzungudza misoro yavo,
40 besithi: Wena odiliza ithempeli ulakhe ngensuku ezintathu, zisindise; uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yehla esiphambanweni.
vachiti: Iwe unoputsa tembere nekuivaka nemazuva matatu, zviponese; kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, buruka pamuchinjikwa.
41 Langokunjalo labapristi abakhulu labo bekloloda kanye lababhali labadala bathi:
Saizvozvowo vapristi vakuru vachimuseka nevanyori nevakuru vachiti:
42 Wasindisa abanye, yena angezisindise. Uba eyiNkosi yakoIsrayeli, kehle khathesi esiphambanweni, futhi sizamkholwa.
Wakaponesa vamwe, iye haagoni kuzviponesa. Kana ari Mambo waIsraeri, ngaaburuke ikozvino pamuchinjikwa, tigomutenda.
43 Wathemba kuNkulunkulu; kamkhulule khathesi, uba emthanda. Ngoba wathi: NgiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Waivimba naMwari; ngaachimusunungura ikozvino kana achimuda. Nokuti wakati: Ndiri Mwanakomana waMwari.
44 Labaphangi ababebethelwe kanye laye bamyangisa ngokufananayo.
Makororowo akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe naye, akamuseka saizvozvo.
45 Njalo kusukela ngehola lesithupha kwaba lobumnyama emhlabeni wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye;
Zvino kubva paawa rechitanhatu kwakava nerima panyika yese kusvikira paawa repfumbamwe.
46 sekungaba lihola lesificamunwemunye uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: "Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani?" Okuyikuthi: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungitshiyeleni?
Neawa rinenge repfumbamwe Jesu wakadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti: "Eri, Eri rama sabakitani?" Ndiko kuti: Mwari wangu, Mwari wangu, mandisiyirei?
47 Njalo abanye kwababemi khona besizwa bathi: Lo ubiza uElija.
Vamwe vevakange vamirepo vakati vanzwa vakati: Uyu anodana Eria.
48 Njalo omunye wabo wahle wagijima, wathatha uzipho, walugcwalisa ngeviniga, waluhloma emhlangeni, wamnika ukuthi anathe.
Pakarepo umwe wavo akamhanya, akatora chipanje, akazadza nevhiniga ndokuisa parutsanga, akamupa kuti anwe.
49 Kodwa abanye bathi: Yekelani sibone ukuthi uElija uzakuza amsindise.
Asi vamwe vakati: Regai tione kana Eria achiuya kuzomuponesa.
50 UJesu wasebuya ememeza ngelizwi elikhulu wanikela umoya.
Jesu ndokudanidzirazve nenzwi guru akapa mweya.
51 Futhi khangela, iveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa incezu ezimbili laqala phezulu lisiya phansi; lomhlaba wazamazama; lamadwala aqhekezeka;
Zvino tarira, vheiri retembere rakabvaruka kuita mapandi maviri, kubva kumusoro kusvikira pasi. Nyika ikadengenyeka, mabwe akatsemuka.
52 lamangcwaba avuleka; lezidumbu ezinengi zabangcwele abasebelele zavuswa;
Makuva akazarurwa; nemitumbi mizhinji yevatsvene vakange varere ikamutswa.
53 sebephumile emangcwabeni emva kokuvuka kwakhe bangena emzini ongcwele, babonakala kwabanengi.
Vakati vabuda pamakuva shure kwekumuka kwake vakapinda muguta dzvene, vakaonekwa kuvazhinji.
54 Kwathi induna yekhulu lalabo ababelayo belinde uJesu, sebebonile ukuzamazama komhlaba lezinto ezenzekileyo, besaba kakhulu, bathi: Ngeqiniso lo ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Zvino mukuru wezana nevaiva naye vakarinda Jesu vakati vachiona kudengenyeka kwenyika nezvinhu zvakaitika, vakatya zvikuru vachiti: Zvirokwazvo uyu wakange ari Mwanakomana waMwari.
55 Kwakukhona lapho abesifazana abanengi bebukele bekhatshana, ababemlandele uJesu bevela eGalili, bemncedisa;
Nevakadzi vazhinji vakange varipo, vakatarira vari kure, vakange vatevera Jesu vachibva Garirea vachimushandira.
56 okwakukhona phakathi kwabo oMariya Magadalena, loMariya unina kaJakobe loJose, lonina wamadodana kaZebediya.
Pakati pavo paiva naMaria Magidharini, naMaria mai vaJakobho naJose, namai vevanakomana vaZebhedhi.
57 Kwathi sekuhlwile, kwafika umuntu onothileyo evela eArimathiya, ibizo lakhe linguJosefa, owayengumfundi kaJesu laye;
Zvino ava manheru kukasvika umwe mufumi achibva Arimatiya wainzi Josefa. Iyewo pachake waiva mudzidzi waJesu.
58 yena waya kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu. UPilatu waselaya ukuthi isidumbu asinikwe.
Uyu wakaenda kuna Pirato akakumbira mutumbi waJesu. Ipapo Pirato akaraira kuti mutumbi aupiwe.
59 UJosefa wasethatha isidumbu wasigoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo elihlambulukileyo,
Josefa wakati atora mutumbi, akauputira nemucheka werineni wakachena.
60 wasibeka engcwabeni lakhe elitsha, elaligujiwe edwaleni; wasegiqela ilitshe elikhulu emnyango wengcwaba, wahamba.
Akauradzika muguva rake idzva, raakange achera muruware; akakungurusira ibwe guru pamukova weguva, akabva.
61 Futhi kwakukhona lapho uMariya Magadalena, lomunye uMariya, behlezi maqondana lengcwaba.
Uye ipapo paiva naMaria Magidharini neumwe Maria, vagere pakatarisana neguva.
62 Langosuku olulandelayo, olulandela olwamalungiselelo, abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babuthana kuPilatu,
Nezuva raitevera, raitevera zuva rekugadzirira, vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakaungana kuna Pirato,
63 besithi: Nkosi, siyakhumbula ukuthi lowomkhohlisi esaphila wathi: Emva kwensuku ezintathu ngizavuka.
vachiti: Ishe, tinorangarira kuti munyepedzeri uyo wakati achiri mupenyu: Mushure memazuva matatu ndichamuka.
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.
Naizvozvo rairai kuti guva richengetwe kusvikira zuva retatu; zvimwe vadzidzi vake vangauya usiku vakamuba, vagoti kuvanhu: Wakamuka kuvakafa; kurasika kwekupedzisira kukazova kwakanyanya pane kwekutanga.
65 UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Lilabalindi; hambani, liliqinise njengokubona kwenu.
Pirato akati kwavari: Mune varindi; endai murichengete sezvamunoziva.
66 Bahamba-ke baliqinisa ingcwaba, beliphawula ilitshe, belabalindi.
Vakaenda, vakanochengeta guva, vakaisa mucherechedzo pabwe, vane varindi.
