Mataayi 27
1 Palwakilo ye kukiile avavaha vooni ava vatekesi na vagoyo vakapuling'hana vule kya vikum'buda u Yesu.
Kwathi sekusile, bonke abapristi abakhulu labadala babantu bacebisana bemelene loJesu ukuthi bambulale;
2 Vakankunga, vakaluta naghwope kwa Pilato, untwa ghwave uMulooma.
sebembophile bamqhuba bamnikela kuPontiyusi Pilatu umbusi.
3 U Yuda umwolesi ye avwene uYesu ahighilue kuuti abudue akipiika vwimila sino avombile. Pe akavagomokesia avavaha va vatekesi na vagoyo indalama sila fijigho fitatu.
Kwathi uJudasi owamnikelayo esebonile ukuthi ulahliwe, wazisola wabuyisela inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu kubapristi abakhulu labadala,
4 Akavavuula akati,”Nivombile inyivi kukumwohela umuunhu unsila nkole.”Neke aveene vakati,”Inongua ijio jaako juuve usue nakwetule.”
wathi: Ngonile nginikele igazi elingelacala. Kodwa bona bathi: Kulani lathi? Zibonele wena.
5 Pe umwene akasitagha indalama sila muluviika lwa nyumba inyimike ijakufunyila akaluta kukukunga.
Wasephosela inhlamvu zesiliva ethempelini, wasuka; wayaziphanyeka.
6 Avavaha va vatekesi vakatoola indalama sila vakati,”Nalunoghile kuviika indalama isi munyumba inyimike ija Nguluve, ulwakuuva siveele sihombilue kukuung'a idanda ja muunhu.”
Abapristi abakhulu basebethatha inhlamvu zesiliva bathi: Kakuvunyelwa ukuzifaka emnikelweni, ngoba ziyintengo yegazi.
7 Pe vakapuling'hana, vakatoola indalama sila vakaghula umughunda ughwa m'bumba fijigha kuuti mwe vanyisilaghe avahesia.
Basebecebisana bathenga ngazo isiqinti sombumbi, sibe ngesokungcwaba abezizwe.
8 Fye nambe umughunda ughuo nambe lino,”ghutambulua mughunda ghwa Danda.”
Ngakho lesosiqinti sathiwa yisiqinti segazi, kuze kube lamuhla.
9 Mu uluo likava likwilanisivue ilisio lino um'bili uYeremia alyalembile kuuti,”Valyatolile indalama ifijigho fitatu, sino a Vaisilaeli valyiting'hiine kuuti indalama isio sikwiline kughulila umuunhu ujuo.
Kwasekugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uJeremiya, esithi: Basebethatha inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu, intengo yalowo owalinganiswayo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli abamlinganisayo;
10 Vakaghulila umughunda ghwa m'bumba fivigha ndavule alyandaghiile u Mutwa.
basebebapha zona ngensimu yombumbi, njengoba iNkosi ingilayile.
11 Pepano u Yesu akiima pa vuhighi pa ntwa u Pilato. Untwa akamposia akati,”Asi, uve veeve ntwa ghwa Vayahudi?”U Yesu akamwamula akati,”Uve ujovile.”
UJesu wasesima phambi kombusi; umbusi wasembuza, wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? UJesu wasesithi: Utshilo wena.
12 Pe avavaha va vatekesi na vagoyo vakatengula kujova si nyinga isa kumpelela u Yesu ahighue neke umwene naakamula kimonga.
Kwathi nxa esemangalelwe ngabapristi abakhulu labadala, kaphendulanga lutho.
13 Pepano untwa akamposia akati,”Ghwe naghupulika isi sooni sino vikwoleka kuuti uhokile?”
UPilatu wasesithi kuye: Kawuzwa yini izinto ezingaka abazifakaza ngawe?
14 U Yesu naalyamwamwile kimonga. Apuo untwa u Pilato akadegha kyongo.
Kodwa kamphendulanga lakwelilodwa ilizwi, waze wamangala kakhulu umbusi.
15 Lwale lwiho kwa ntwa pa kyimike ikya Pasaka kukun'dindulila unkungua jumo juno avaanhu vilonda kuuti ahume.
Futhi ngomkhosi umbusi wayejwayele ukukhululela ixuku isibotshwa esisodwa, elisifunayo.
16 Unsiki ughuo mu ndinde mwe alyale unkungua jumonga juno akatambuluagha Balaba. Unkungua ujuo alyakagulike fiijo vwimila uvuhosi vwake.
Njalo ngalesosikhathi babelesibotshwa esidumileyo, esithiwa nguBarabasi.
17 Lino avaanhu ye vakong'hanile, u Pilato akavamposia akati,”Asi, mu vakungua vavili ava, u Balaba nu Yesu juno viiti ghwe Kilisite mulonda nivadindulile veeni?”
Ngakho sebebuthene, uPilatu wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani, uBarabasi, kumbe uJesu othiwa nguKristu?
18 U Pilato alyavaposisie uluo ulwakuuva alyakagwile kuutiavavaha va Vayahudi valyale ni kivini nu Yesu, fye nambe valyantwalile kwa mwene kuuti ahighue.
Ngoba wayekwazi ukuthi bamnikele ngomona.
19 U Pilato ye ikalile pa kitengo kyake ikya vuhighi, un'dala ghwake akasung'ha imhola kwa mwene akati,”Nungam'bombelaghe uluviivi lumonga umuunhu ujuo umugholofu, ulwakuva pakilo nihangajiike kyongo mu njosi vwimila umwene.”
Kwathi esehlezi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, umkakhe wathumela kuye, wathi: Ungabi landaba lalowo olungileyo; ngoba lamuhla ngihluphekile kakhulu ngaye ephutsheni.
20 Neke avavaha va vatekesi na vagoyo vakavahonga avaanhu kuuti vansuume u Pilato an'dindule u Balaba na kukumhigha u Yesu kuuti abadue.
Kodwa abapristi abakhulu labadala bancengana lamaxuku ukuthi acele uBarabasi, ambhubhise uJesu.
21 U Pilato akavaposia kange akati,”Ghwe veeni juno mulonda nin'dindulile mu vakungua vavili ava?”Vakamwamula vakati,”UBalaba.”
Wasephendula umbusi wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani kulaba ababili? Basebesithi: UBarabasi.
22 U Pilato akavamposiankange akati, Pe nim'bombe kiki u Yesu juno viiti ghwe Kilisite?”Avaanhu vooni vakoova vakati,”Unkomelele pa kikivekano”
UPilatu wathi kubo: Pho ngimenzeni uJesu othiwa nguKristu? Bonke bathi kuye: Kabethelwe.
23 U Pilato akavamposia kange akati,”Umuunhu uju avombile luviivibluki?”Aveene vakaghina kukwova viuti,”Unkomelele pa kikovekano.”
Umbusi wasesithi: Ngoba wenze bubi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu, bathi: Kabethelwe!
24 U Pilato ye akagwile kuuti naangandule uvulamusi vwa vaanhu kange vatengwile, ilyovo akatoola amalenga akoogha amavokonghaake pamaaso gha vaanhu, vooni kuvonia kuuti umwene namwale mu nkole ughuo. Akavavula akati,”Une nili nsila nkole vwimila kufua kwa umuunhu uju. Uluo lwinu jumue.”
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.
25 Avaanhu voonivakamwamula vakati,”Unkole ughwa kum'buda umuunhu ujuo ghuvisaghe ghwitu na vaana viitu.”
Bonke abantu basebephendula bathi: Igazi lakhe kalibe phezu kwethu laphezu kwabantwana bethu.
26 Pe pano u Pilato akan'dindulila uBalaba, neke akalaghila kuuti u Yesu akopue ni mijeledi na kukomelelua pa kikovekano.
Wasebakhululela uBarabasi; kodwa esemtshaye ngesiswepu uJesu wamnikela ukuthi abethelwe.
27 Pepano avasikali va ntwa u Pilato vakatwala u Yesu mu luviika lwa nyumba ja ntwa, pe ikipugha kyoni ikya vasikali kikakong'hona, kikansyungutila u Yesu.
Abebutho bombusi basebemngenisa uJesu endlini yombusi, baqoqela kuye ibutho lonke;
28 Vakamfuula amenda ghaake, vakafwasia isopeka indangali, ndavule ija kitwa.
bamhlubula, bamgqokisa isembatho esibomvu,
29 Pe vakatenda ingeela ija mifua, vakafwasia ku mutu, neke vakaviika ulukwegho mu luvoko lwake ulwa ndio avonekaghe hwene ntwa. Pepano vakafughama pamaaso ghaake vikum'benapula na kukunnenela viiti,”Kamwene ghwe Ntwa ghwa Vayahudi?”
sebelukile umqhele wameva, bamethesa wona ekhanda, bamphathisa lomhlanga esandleni sakhe sokunene; baguqa phambi kwakhe bamklolodela, bathi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda!
30 Pe vakafuunyila amati, Vakatoola ulukwegho lula mu luvoko lwake, vakantova ku mutu.
Bamkhafulela amathe, bathatha umhlanga, batshaya ikhanda lakhe.
31 Ye vannennile, vakamfuula isopeka jila, vakafwasia amenda ghaake. Pepano vakantwala kukunkomelela pa kikovekano.
Sebemklolodele, bamhlubula isembatho, bamgqokisa izigqoko zakhe, bamqhuba ukuze bambethele.
32 Ye vali mu sila viluta, vakatang'hana nu muunhu jumonga juno akatambuluagha Simoni, umhuma mu likaaja ilya Kileene. Avasikali vakamwumilisia kupinda ikikovekano kya Yesu.
Kwathi sebephuma, bafica umuntu weKurene, uSimoni ngebizo; bambamba ngamandla lowo ukuthi athwale isiphambano sakhe.
33 Ye vafikile pano pakatambuluagha Goligota, kwe kuuti,”Ling'ala lya Mutu,”
Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa yiGolgotha, okuyikuthi iNdawo yokhakhayi,
34 Vakampeela uluhuuje uluhasing'hanie nu nkota ughwa kusilisia uvuvafi. Neke ye avonjile, akakaana kunyua.
bamnika iviniga elixutshaniswe lenyongo ukuze alinathe; kodwa eselizwile kavumanga ukunatha.
35 Vakankomelela pa kikovekano, pe vakaviika ulusodolelo kuuti amenda gha Yesu atoole veeni. Likavombeka enendiki neke likwilanisivue ilisio lino lilyajovilue nu m'bili kuuti, Vaghaviine amenda ghango, vasodolile mulwa kutoola isopeka jango.”
Futhi sebembethele, baba izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi ukuthi: Babelana izembatho zami, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngesigqoko sami.
36 Pe vakikala palapala kuuti vamulolelelaghe.
Njalo sebehlala phansi bamlinda khona.
37 Pa kikovekano ku mutu ghwake vakakomelela,”UJU GHWE YESU, UNTWA GHWA VAYAHUDi.”
Babeka ngaphezu kwekhanda lakhe incwadi yecala lakhe ilotshiwe ukuthi: LO NGUJESU INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
38 Unsiki ghughuo avaanhu avange vavili vano valyale vahijivabudi vakakomelelua palikimo nu Yesu, jumonga akava ulubale lwake ulwa kundio, ujunge kung'highi.
Kwasekubethelwa abaphangi ababili kanye laye, omunye ngakwesokunene lomunye ngakwesokhohlo.
39 Avaanhu vano vakava vikila pala vakasukaniagha amatu ghaake, vikumuligha viiti,
Labadlulayo bamhlambaza, benikina amakhanda abo,
40 Uve ghwe juno ghwatisagha ghulimemula inyumba inyimike ija Nguluve neke ghujenga ifighono fitatu, nave uli Mwana ghwa Nguluve, Ghupoke, ghwke pa kikovekano!”
besithi: Wena odiliza ithempeli ulakhe ngensuku ezintathu, zisindise; uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yehla esiphambanweni.
41 Voope avavaha va vatekesi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo isa Moose palikimo na vagoyo avange vakamwovelelagha vakatisagha,”
Langokunjalo labapristi abakhulu labo bekloloda kanye lababhali labadala bathi:
42 Avapokaghava avange, lino ikunua kukupoka jujuo! Asi, naghwe ntwa ghwa Vaisilaeli, lino iike pa kikovekano, neke na jusue tumwitike.
Wasindisa abanye, yena angezisindise. Uba eyiNkosi yakoIsrayeli, kehle khathesi esiphambanweni, futhi sizamkholwa.
43 U mwene ikumhuviila ubNguluve, iiti Mwana ghwa Nguluve, lino nave u Nguluve amughanile, ampoke.”
Wathemba kuNkulunkulu; kamkhulule khathesi, uba emthanda. Ngoba wathi: NgiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
44 Nava vahijivabudi vanovvakomelilue palikimo nu Yesu, voope vakamuligha.
Labaphangi ababebethelwe kanye laye bamyangisa ngokufananayo.
45 Kutenguala akavalilo aka ntanda pamwisi, ing'hisi jikakupiika iisi jooni kuhanga kufika akavalilo aka budika lubale.
Njalo kusukela ngehola lesithupha kwaba lobumnyama emhlabeni wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye;
46 Unsiki ughwa kavalilo aka budika lubale ndiiki u Yesu akakoola fiijo akati, Eloi, Eloi, lamacsabakitani? kwe kuuti,”Nguluve ghwango, Nguluve ghwango ongo undekile?”
sekungaba lihola lesificamunwemunye uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: "Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani?" Okuyikuthi: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungitshiyeleni?
47 Avaanhu vamonga vano valyimile pala ye vapulike u Yesu ijova amasio aghuo vakati,”Uju ikunkemeela um'bili u Eliya.”
Njalo abanye kwababemi khona besizwa bathi: Lo ubiza uElija.
48 Unsiki ghuoghuo umuunhu jumonga mu veene akaluta luvilo akatoola ikyenda, akasuvika mu luhuje ulukali akakiviika mu lulaasi akam'besekesia u Yesubpa mulomo kuuti amiime.
Njalo omunye wabo wahle wagijima, wathatha uzipho, walugcwalisa ngeviniga, waluhloma emhlangeni, wamnika ukuthi anathe.
49 Neke avange vala vakati,”Uleke kukumpeela tulole nave u Eliya ikwisa kukumpoka,”
Kodwa abanye bathi: Yekelani sibone ukuthi uElija uzakuza amsindise.
50 Pe u Yesu akakoola fiijo kange, akakunguka.
UJesu wasebuya ememeza ngelizwi elikhulu wanikela umoya.
51 Nakalingi, umwenda ghuno ghulyaghavilue pavili inyumba inyimike ija Nguluve, ghukademuka pavili kuhuma kukyanya kiufika paasi. Iisi jikasukanika na manhalavue ghakabajuka.
Futhi khangela, iveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa incezu ezimbili laqala phezulu lisiya phansi; lomhlaba wazamazama; lamadwala aqhekezeka;
52 Imbiipa sikasyiluka, avimike vinga vano valyafwile vakasyuka.
lamangcwaba avuleka; lezidumbu ezinengi zabangcwele abasebelele zavuswa;
53 Pa mbele u Yesu ye asyukile, avimike avuo vakingila mu likaaja ilyimike ilya Yelusalemu, vakavoneka ku vaanhu vinga.
sebephumile emangcwabeni emva kokuvuka kwakhe bangena emzini ongcwele, babonakala kwabanengi.
54 Pe um'baha ghwa vasikali palikimo na vala vano valyale vikumulolellela u Yesu ye vavwene iisi jisukanika ni singi sino sikahumiile pala, vakoghopa kyongo, vakati,”Kyang'hani umuunhu uju akaale Mwana ghwa Nguluve.
Kwathi induna yekhulu lalabo ababelayo belinde uJesu, sebebonile ukuzamazama komhlaba lezinto ezenzekileyo, besaba kakhulu, bathi: Ngeqiniso lo ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
55 “Ye sivombike isi sooni, pwevalyale avakijuuva vinga vano valyimile patali padebe vilola. Avakijuuva avuo ve vano vakam'bingilile u Yesu kuhuma ku Galilaya na kukutengelela.
Kwakukhona lapho abesifazana abanengi bebukele bekhatshana, ababemlandele uJesu bevela eGalili, bemncedisa;
56 Mu vakijuuva avuo, mwealyale uMaliya umhuma mu likaaja ilya Magidala, uMaliya ung'hina ghwa Yakovo nu Yosefu palikimo nu un'dala ghwa Sebedaayi.
okwakukhona phakathi kwabo oMariya Magadalena, loMariya unina kaJakobe loJose, lonina wamadodana kaZebediya.
57 Ye jifikile ivwilile, akiisa umuunhu jumonga ummofu, ilitavua lyake alyale ghwe Yosefu, umhuma mu likaaja ilya Alimataya. Umuunhu ujuo alyale m'bulanisivua ghwa Yesu.
Kwathi sekuhlwile, kwafika umuntu onothileyo evela eArimathiya, ibizo lakhe linguJosefa, owayengumfundi kaJesu laye;
58 U Yosefu akaluta kwa Pilato kusuuma umfimba ghwa Yesu. U Pilato akavavuula avasikali vaake liiuuti vampeele umfimba ghula
yena waya kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu. UPilatu waselaya ukuthi isidumbu asinikwe.
59 Pepano u Yosefu akaluta akatoola umfimba ghwa Yesu akaghuniengelela nu mwenda ughwa kusyilila, um'balafu.
UJosefa wasethatha isidumbu wasigoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo elihlambulukileyo,
60 Pe akaghuviika mu mbiipa jaake imia jino alyabughwile mu linhalavue, akabilukisia ilivue ilikome pa mulyango ghwa mbiipa akavuka iluta.
wasibeka engcwabeni lakhe elitsha, elaligujiwe edwaleni; wasegiqela ilitshe elikhulu emnyango wengcwaba, wahamba.
61 Unsiki ughuo u Maliya umhuma mu likaaja ilya Magidala nu Maliya ujunge valikalile pala valungiime ku mbiipa.
Futhi kwakukhona lapho uMariya Magadalena, lomunye uMariya, behlezi maqondana lengcwaba.
62 Ikighono ikya vuvili kino kyale kya sabati, avavaha va vatekesi na vafalisayi vakakong'hana kwa Pilato.
Langosuku olulandelayo, olulandela olwamalungiselelo, abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babuthana kuPilatu,
63 Pe vakam'bula vakati,”Ghwe ntwa, tukumbuka kuuti unsyangi jula ye mwumi, akajovile kuuti, Fingakile ifighono fitatu kuhuma nifua nisyuka.'
besithi: Nkosi, siyakhumbula ukuthi lowomkhohlisi esaphila wathi: Emva kwensuku ezintathu ngizavuka.
64 Lino, tusuuma avavuule avasikali vaako valolelelaghe imbiipa kuhanga ikighono ikya vutatu, tungaleke kuvomba ulu, avavulanisivua vaake ndepoonu viluta kuhiija um'bili ghwake neke vavasyange avaanhu kuuti asyukile. Nave luvembeke uluo, uvudesi uvuo vuuva vuviivi kukila uvwa kwanda.
Ngakho laya ukuthi ingcwaba liqiniswe kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu; hlezi abafundi bakhe bafike ebusuku bamebe, besebesithi ebantwini: Uvukile kwabafileyo; kuthi inkohliso yokucina ibembi kuleyokuqala.
65 U Pilato akavamula akati,”Mutoole avasikali. Mulute mulolelelaghe imbiipa ku ngufu siinu sooni.”
UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Lilabalindi; hambani, liliqinise njengokubona kwenu.
66 Pepano vakaluta ku mbiipa, vakaviika ikivalilo pa livue kuuti napwengavisaghe umunhu ughwa kuvungulusia. Pe vakavaleka pala avasikali kuuti valolelelaghe.
Bahamba-ke baliqinisa ingcwaba, beliphawula ilitshe, belabalindi.
