Kulandzisa KwaMakho
14 Besekusele emalanga lamabili+ kutsi kufike liPhasika+ neMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesite Imvubelo.+ Baphristi labakhulu netati temtsetfo bebafuna lisu lekubamba* Jesu ngebucili bese bayambulala,+ 2 futsi bebatsi: “Akungabi ngesikhatsi semkhosi, ngobe kungenteka bantfu basuse siphitsiphitsi.”
3 Watsi Jesu nakaseBhetani, ahleti etafuleni lekudlela, endlini yaSimoni lobekanebulephelo, kweta umfati lobekaphetse sigujana lebesakhiwe ngelitje lelimhlophe sinemafutsa lanemakha, inadi sibili, futsi bekadule kakhulu. Lomfati wasivula lesigujana, watsela lamafutsa enhloko yaJesu.+ 4 Ngenca yaloko, labanye batfukutsela futsi bakhuluma bodvwa batsi: “Amoshelwani lamafutsa lanemakha? 5 Ngobe bekangatsengiswa ngabodenariyo* labangetulu kwa-300, bese leyo mali iphiwa labeswele!” Ngako bamtfukutselela kakhulu* lomfati. 6 Kodvwa Jesu watsi kubo: “Myekeleni, nimhluphelani kangaka? Ngobe yinhle lentfo layente kimi.+ 7 Bantfu labeswele nihlale ninabo,+ futsi nobe kunini lapho nifuna, ningabentela lokuhle. Kodvwa mine ngeke ngihlale nginani.+ 8 Lomfati wente loko lokusemandleni akhe; futsi ugcobise umtimba wami ngemafutsa lanemakha ngobe bekentela kutsi ngilungele kuyongcwatjwa.+ 9 Ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Nobe ngukuphi lapho letindzaba letimnandzi tishunyayelwa khona emhlabeni wonkhe,+ loku lokwentiwe ngulomfati kutawuhlale kukhunjulwa.”+
10 Judasi Skariyothi, lomunye webaphostoli labangu-12, wahamba waya kubaphristi labakhulu kuze atsengise Jesu kubo.+ 11 Nabakuva loko, bajabula kakhulu futsi bametsembisa imali yelisiliva.+ Ngako kusukela ngalelolanga, wafuna litfuba lelikahle lekumtsengisa.
12 Ngelilanga lekucala leMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesite Imvubelo,+ lokusikhatsi lebebavame kunikela ngaso ngesilwane seliPhasika,+ bafundzi bakhe beta kuye batsi: “Ufuna sikulungisele kuphi indzawo yekudla liPhasika?”+ 13 Ngako watfuma bafundzi bakhe lababili watsi kubo: “Hambani niye edolobheni, futsi nitawuhlangana nendvodza lephetse imbita yemanti. Niboyilandzela,+ 14 futsi lapho itawungena khona, nibotsi kumnikati wemuti: ‘UMfundzisi utsi: “Liphi likamelo letivakashi lengingadlela kulo liPhasika ngikanye nebafundzi bami?”’ 15 Utanikhombisa likamelo lelikhulu lelingetulu, futsi lelilungiswe kahle. Nibobese nisilungisela lapho liPhasika.” 16 Labafundzi bahamba baya edolobheni, batfola kunjengobe Jesu bekashito, ngako balungiselela liPhasika.
17 Kwatsi nasekuhwalele, Jesu wefika nalaba labangu-12.+ 18 Njengobe bebahleti etafuleni badla, watsi: “Ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Lomunye wenu lodla nami utangitsengisa.”+ 19 Loku kwabavisa buhlungu kakhulu, futsi nguloyo naloyo watsi kuye: “Ngimi yini?” 20 Wabaphendvula watsi: “Ngulomunye wenu nine labangu-12, lofaka sandla sakhe kanye nami kulesitja.+ 21 INdvodzana yemuntfu itakufa njengobe kubhaliwe, kodvwa maye kuloyo muntfu lotayitsengisa!+ Bekutawuba ncono kakhulu ngaye kube akazange atalwe.”+
22 Njengobe bebachubeka badla, watsatsa sinkhwa, wabonga, wasihlephula futsi wabanika sona, wase utsi: “Tsatsani; loku kumelela umtimba wami.”+ 23 Watsatsa nendzebe, wabonga, wabanika yona, futsi bonkhe banatsa kuyo.+ 24 Wabese utsi: “Loku kumelela ‘ingati yami+ yesivumelwane,’+ letawucitfwa ngenca yalabanyenti.+ 25 Ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Ngeke ngisaphindze ngilinatse leliwayini kuze kube ngulapho sengilinatsa lilisha eMbusweni waNkulunkulu.” 26 Ngemuva kwekuhlabela tingoma tekudvumisa Nkulunkulu, bahamba baya eNtsabeni Yemincumo.+
27 Jesu watsi kubo: “Nonkhe nitangishiya, ngobe kubhaliwe kutsi: ‘Ngitawushaya umelusi,+ timvu tihlakateke.’+ 28 Kodvwa nasengivusiwe, ngitawuhamba kucala kunani ngiye eGalile.”+ 29 Phetro watsi kuye: “Ngisho nobe bonkhe laba labanye bangakushiya, mine ngeke ngize ngikushiye.”+ 30 Nakeva loko, Jesu watsi kuye: “Ngicinisile ngitsi kuwe: Kulobusuku balamuhla, kutawutsi lichudze lingakakhali kabili, utawube sewungiphike katsatfu.”+ 31 Kodvwa Phetro wagcizelela watsi: “Ngisho nobe kungadzingeka ngife nawe, ngeke ngize ngikuphike.” Nalaba labanye bafundzi basho njalo.+
32 Befika endzaweni lebitwa ngekutsi yiGetsemane, wase utsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Hlalani lapha, mine ngisayothantaza.”+ 33 Watsatsa Phetro, Jakobe, kanye naJohane wahamba nabo.+ Wacindzeteleka kakhulu* futsi weva buhlungu kakhulu. 34 Watsi kubo: “Ngicindzeteleke kakhulu.+ Hlalani lapha nilindze.”+ 35 Wahamba libangana, wafike waguca phansi wathantazela kutsi nangabe kungenteka, lesikhatsi sendlule. 36 Watsi: “Abha,* Babe,+ tonkhe tintfo tiyenteka kuwe; ngako yendlulise lendzebe kimi. Kodvwa akwenteke intsandvo yakho, hhayi yami.”+ 37 Ngako wabuya wabatfola balele, futsi watsi kuPhetro: “Simoni, ulele? Bewungeke yini ukhone kulindza ngisho neli-awa linye nje?+ 38 Hlalani nilindzile futsi nichubeke nithantaza, kute ningangeni ekulingweni.+ Umoya wenu uyalangatelela,* kodvwa inyama ibutsakatsaka.”+ 39 Wabuyela wayothantaza, washo emavi lafanako nalebekawasho ekucaleni.+ 40 Waphindze wabuya wabatfola balele ngobe bebafile butfongo, ngako abazange bati kutsi bamphendvule batsini. 41 Nakabuya kwesitsatfu watsi kubo: “Ngesikhatsi lesinjengalesi nilele, futsi niphumulile! Sekwenele, ngobe li-awa selifikile!+ INdvodzana yemuntfu itawunikelwa kubantfu labatoni. 42 Sukumani sihambe! Ngobe loyo lotangitsengisa sewusedvute.”+
43 Watsi nje asakhuluma, kwefika Judasi lobekangulomunye webaphostoli labangu-12, ahamba nesicumbi sebantfu lebesiphetse tinkemba netindvuku, sitfunywe baphristi labakhulu, tati temtsetfo nemadvodza lamadzala.+ 44 Judasi bekavumelene nabo watsi: “Loyo lengitamanga, kutawube kunguye; nibombopha nihambe naye.” 45 Wacondza kuJesu, wafike watsi: “Mfundzisi!” wase uyamanga. 46 Ngako babamba Jesu, base bayambopha. 47 Lomunye kulabo lebebeme eceleni wahoshula inkemba yakhe, wasusa indlebe yesisebenti semphristi lophakeme.+ 48 Kodvwa Jesu watsi: “Nite kutongibopha niphetse tinkemba netindvuku shengatsi nitobamba sigebengu?+ 49 Malanga onkhe bengihlale ngifundzisa ethempelini,+ kodvwa anizange ningibophe. Nanobe kunjalo, loku kwenteke kute kugcwaliseke imiBhalo.”+
50 Ngako bonkhe bafundzi bakhe bamshiya babaleka.+ 51 Kodvwa lijaha lelitsite lebelembetse indvwangu yelineni lecolisakele ngetulu kwengubo* yalo, lamlandzela edvute, futsi betama kulibamba, 52 kodvwa lashiya lendvwangu yalo yelineni, labaleka lingakembatsi.*
53 Babese bayisa Jesu kumphristi lophakeme,+ futsi bonkhe baphristi labakhulu, emadvodza lamadzala kanye netati temtsetfo bahlangana.+ 54 Kodvwa Phetro bekasolo amlandzela akhashane baze befika ebaleni lemphristi lophakeme, futsi wahlala netinceku talapho, wotsa umlilo.+ 55 Baphristi labakhulu nawo onkhe emalunga eNkantolo YemaJuda bebafuna bufakazi bekumangalela Jesu kuze bambulale, kodvwa abazange babutfole.+ 56 Bantfu labanyenti bebetfula bufakazi lobungemanga ngaJesu,+ kodvwa bebungavumelani. 57 Labanye bebasukuma betfule bufakazi lobungemanga ngaye, batsi: 58 “Samuva atsi: ‘Ngitawudzilita lelithempeli lelakhiwe ngetandla, kutsi ngemuva kwemalanga lamatsatfu ngakhe lelinye lelingakentiwa ngetandla.’”+ 59 Ngisho nangemuva kwaloku, bufakazi babo bebungavumelani.
60 Ekugcineni, umphristi lophakeme wasukuma watsi kuJesu: “Kukhona yini longatiphendvulela ngako kuloku labakushoko?”+ 61 Kodvwa Jesu wabindza wangasho lutfo.+ Ngako lomphristi lophakeme waphindze wambuta, watsi: “UnguKhristu yini, iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu Longcwele?” 62 Jesu watsi: “Nginguye, futsi nine nitawubona iNdvodzana yemuntfu+ ihleti ngesekudla+ saLoyo Lonemandla futsi ita isemafini.”+ 63 Nakeva loko, lomphristi lophakeme wadzabula tingubo takhe, watsi: “Sisabadzingelani-ke labanye bofakazi?+ 64 Nani nimvile ahlambalata. Manje nitsini?”* Bonkhe batsi kufanele afe.+ 65 Labanye bacala kumkhafulela,+ bammbonya buso, futsi bamshaya ngetibhakela, batsi: “Phrofetha!” Ngemuva kwekutsi bogadzi sebamshaye ebusweni, bamtsatsa.+
66 Njengobe Phetro abehleti ebaleni, kweta lenye intfombatana lesisebenti semphristi lophakeme.+ 67 Yatsi nayibona Phetro otsa umlilo, yambuka yamutsi njo, yase itsi: “Nawe bewuhamba naloJesu waseNazaretha.” 68 Kodvwa waphika, watsi: “Angimati lomuntfu lokhuluma ngaye, futsi angikwati nalolokhuluma ngako,” wase uyaphuma uya ngasesangweni. 69 Nakefika lapho, lentfombatana yatsi nayimbona yaphindze yatsi kulabo lebebeme lapho: “Lona ngulomunye wabo.” 70 Waphindze waphika. Kwatsi ngemuva kwesikhashana, labo lebebeme edvutane batsi kuPhetro: “Nawe ungulomunye wabo, ngobe vele uwaseGalile.” 71 Kodvwa wafunga wagomela watsi: “Ngicinisile, angimati lomuntfu lenikhuluma ngaye!” 72 Ngekushesha lichudze lakhala kwesibili,+ futsi Phetro wawakhumbula emavi Jesu lebekawasho kuye nakatsi: “Kutawutsi lichudze lingakakhali kabili, utawube sewungiphike katsatfu.”+ Ngako weva buhlungu, futsi wakhala.
