Uku­bu­la­wa kwa­ba­ntwa­na be­Bhe­the­le­he­ma

16 Kwa­thi uHe­ro­di, ese­bo­ni­le uku­thi uphi­cwe yi­za­zi, wa­thu­ku­the­la ka­khu­lu, wa­thu­ma wa­bu­la­la aba­ntwa­na bo­nke aba­be­se­Bhe­the­le­he­ma le­mi­ngce­le­ni ya­yo yo­nke, ku­su­ke­la emi­nya­ke­ni emi­bi­li la­nga­pha­nsi, nje­nge­si­kha­thi abe­bu­zi­si­se nga­so ku­za­zi.

17 Kwa­se­ku­gcwa­li­se­ka okwa­khu­lu­nywa ngu­Je­re­mi­ya umpro­fe­thio, uku­thi:

18 Kwe­zwa­ka­la ili­zwi eRa­map, uku­kha­la lo­ku­li­la lo­ku­da­bu­ka oku­khu­lu, uRa­she­li eli­lela aba­ntwa­na ba­khe, nja­lo enga­vu­mi uku­du­du­zwa, ngo­ba be­ngase­kho.

Uku­bu­ye­la eli­zwe­ni la­koI­sra­ye­li

19 Ko­dwa kwa­thi ese­fi­le uHe­ro­di, kha­nge­la ingi­lo­si ye­Nko­si ya­bo­na­ka­la ephu­tshe­ni ku­Jo­se­fa eGi­bhi­the,

20 isi­thi: Vu­ka utha­the umntwa­na omnci­nya­ne lo­ni­na, ubu­su­si­ya eli­zwe­ni la­koI­sra­ye­li; ngo­ba se­be­fi­le aba­be­di­nga umphe­fu­mu­lo wo­mntwa­na.

21 Wa­vu­ka-ke wa­tha­tha umntwa­na omnci­nya­ne lo­ni­na wa­se­fi­ka eli­zwe­ni la­koI­sra­ye­li.

22 Ko­dwa ese­zwi­le uku­thi uA­ke­la­wu use­bu­sa eJu­di­ya esi­khu­ndle­ni si­ka­He­ro­di uyi­se, we­sa­ba uku­ya kho­na; ko­dwa ese­xwa­yi­si­we ngu­Nku­lu­nku­lu ephu­tshe­ni, wa­su­ka wa­ya ku­ngxe­nye ze­Ga­li­liq,

23 wa­se­fi­ka wa­hla­la emzi­ni othi­wa yi­Na­za­re­thar; uku­ze ku­gcwa­li­se­ke okwa­khu­lu­nywa nga­ba­pro­fe­thi uku­thi: Uza­bi­zwa ngo­ku­thi ngu­mNa­za­re­thas.

Uku­tshu­ma­ye­la ku­ka­Jo­ha­ne uMbha­bha­thi­zi

3Nga­le­zo­nsu­ku kwa­se­ku­fi­ka uJo­ha­ne uMbha­bha­thi­zia, etshu­ma­ye­la enka­nga­la ye­Ju­di­yab

2 esi­thi: Phe­ndu­ka­ni; ngo­ba umbu­so wa­ma­zu­lu usu­so­nde­lec.

3 Ngo­ba ngu­ye okwa­khu­lu­nywa nga­ye nguI­sa­ya umpro­fe­thi, esi­thi: Ili­zwi lo­me­me­za­yo enka­nga­lad, li­thi: Lu­ngi­sa­ni indle­la ye­Nko­si; qo­ndi­sa­ni indle­dla­na za­yoe.

4 Nja­lo uJo­ha­ne lo wa­ye­le­se­mba­tho sa­khe so­bo­ya be­ka­me­la, lo­zwe­zwe lwe­si­khu­mba ekha­lwe­ni lwa­khef; lo­ku­dla kwa­khe kwa­ku­zi­nte­theg lo­lu­ju lwe­ga­ngah.

5 Kwa­se­ku­phu­me­la ku­ye iJe­ru­sa­le­ma le­Ju­di­ya yo­nke le­li­zwe lo­nke eli­zi­nge­le­ze­le iJo­da­nii;

6 ba­se­be­bha­bha­thi­zwa ngu­yej eJo­da­ni be­vu­ma izo­no za­bok.

7 Kwa­thi ebo­na aba­ne­ngi ba­ba­Fa­ri­si la­ba­Sa­du­si be­si­za eku­bha­bha­thi­ze­ni kwa­khe, wa­thi ku­bo: Nza­lo ye­zi­nyo­kal, ngu­ba­ni oli­bo­ni­se uku­ba­le­ke­la ula­ka olu­za­yom?

8 Nga­kho the­la­ni izi­the­lo ezi­fa­ne­le uku­phe­ndu­ka;

13Kwa­thi nga­lo­lo­su­ku uJe­su wa­phu­ma endli­nia wa­hla­la pha­nsi elwa­ndleb.

2 Kwa­se­ku­bu­tha­na ku­ye ama­xu­ku ama­khu­luc, wa­ze wa­nge­nad emkhu­nji­ni wa­hla­la pha­nsi; le­xu­ku lo­nke le­ma ekhu­nji­nie.

3 Wa­se­khu­lu­ma la­bo izi­nto ezi­ne­ngi nge­mi­fa­ne­ki­so, wa­thi: Kha­nge­la­ni, kwa­phu­ma umhla­nye­li uku­ya­hla­nye­la.

4 Kwa­thi eku­hla­nye­le­ni kwa­khe, enye inhla­nye­lo ya­we­la ece­le­ni kwe­ndle­la; kwa­se­ku­fi­ka inyo­ni, za­yi­dla za­yi­qe­da.

12 Kwa­se­ku­si­za aba­fu­ndi ba­khe ba­tha­tha isi­du­mbu, ba­si­ngcwa­ba; ba­se­be­su­ka ba­mbi­ke­la uJe­su.

UJe­su usu­thi­sa ama­do­da azi­nku­lu­ngwa­ne ezi­nhla­nu

13 UJe­su ese­zwi­lem wa­su­ka la­pho ngo­mkhu­mbi wa­ya enda­we­ni eyi­nka­nga­la eye­dwa; ko­dwa ama­xu­ku eku­zwa amla­nde­la nge­nya­wo eve­la emi­zi­nin.

15 Kwa­thi se­ku­hlwi­le aba­fu­ndi ba­khe be­za ku­ye, ba­thi: Li­nda­wo iyi­nka­nga­la, le­si­kha­thi se­si­ha­mbi­leq; li­ye­ke­le ixu­ku li­ha­mbe, uku­ze ba­ye emi­za­ne­ni ba­zi­the­nge­le uku­dlar.

16 Ko­dwa uJe­su wa­thi ku­bo: Ka­ku­swe­le­ka­nga uku­thi ba­ha­mbe; ba­ni­ke­ni li­na uku­thi ba­dle.

17 Ko­dwa ba­thi ku­ye: Ka­si­la la­pha nga­pha­ndle kwe­zi­nkwa ezi­nhla­nu le­nhla­nzi ezi­mbi­li.

18 Wa­se­si­thi: Zi­le­the­ni la­pha ki­mi.

19 Wa­se­la­ya ama­xu­ku uku­thi ahla­le pha­nsi etsha­ni­ni, wa­tha­tha izi­nkwa ezi­nhla­nu le­nhla­nzi ezi­mbi­lis, wa­kha­nge­la phe­zu­lu ezu­lwi­nit, wa­zi­bu­si­sa, ese­zi­hle­phu­le wa­ba­ni­ka aba­fu­ndi izi­nkwa, la­ba­fu­ndi ba­pha ama­xu­kuu.

20 Ba­se­be­si­dla bo­nke, ba­su­tha; ba­do­bha imvu­thu eza­zi­se­le, izi­tsha ezi­gcwe­le­yo ezi­li­tshu­mi la­mbi­liv.

21 La­la­bo aba­se­be­dli­le ba­be­nga­ma­do­da anga­ba zi­nku­lu­ngwa­ne ezi­nhla­nu, nga­pha­ndle kwa­be­si­fa­za­na la­ba­ntwa­na.

UJe­su uha­mba phe­zu ko­lwa­ndle

22 Nja­lo uJe­su wa­hle wa­ci­nde­ze­la aba­fu­ndi ba­khe uku­thi ba­nge­ne emkhu­nji­ni, nja­lo ba­mqa­le­le uku­ya nga­phe­tshe­ya, esa­ye­ke­la ama­xu­ku aha­mbew.

23 Kwa­thi ese­ye­ke­le ama­xu­ku aha­mba, we­nyu­ke­la enta­be­ni eye­dwa uku­ze akhu­le­kex; kwa­thi se­ku­hlwi­le, wa­ye­ye­dwa la­pho.

24 Ko­dwa umkhu­mbi wa­wu­su­pha­ka­thi ko­lwa­ndle, utshu­ku­nyi­swa nga­ma­ga­ga­si; ngo­ba umo­ya wa­wu­pha­mbe­ne la­bo.

25 Kwa­thi nge­si­kha­thi so­mli­ndo we­si­ne wo­bu­su­ku uJe­su we­za ku­bo, eha­mba phe­zu ko­lwa­ndley.

26 Ko­dwa kwa­thi aba­fu­ndi be­mbo­na eha­mba phe­zu ko­lwa­ndle be­thu­ka, ba­thiz: Li­tho­nga. Ba­se­be­kha­la ngo­kwe­sa­ba.

27 Ko­dwa uJe­su wa­hle wa­khu­lu­ma la­bo, wa­thi: Ma­ni­ni isi­bi­ndi; yi­mi; li­nge­sa­bia.

28 UPe­tro wa­se­mphe­ndu­la wa­thi: Nko­si, uba ku­ngu­we, ngi­la­ya uku­thi ngi­ze ku­we phe­zu kwa­ma­nzi.

29 Wa­se­si­thi: Wo­za. UPe­tro wa­se­se­hla emkhu­nji­ni wa­ha­mba phe­zu kwa­ma­nzi, uku­ze aye ku­Je­su.

30 Ko­dwa ebo­na umo­ya ola­ma­ndla we­sa­ba; wa­thi ese­qa­la uku­tsho­na wa­kha­la, wa­thi: Nko­si, ngi­si­ndi­sa!

31 Nja­lo uJe­su wa­hle we­lu­la isa­ndla, wa­mba­mba, wa­thi ku­ye: We­na olo­ku­kho­lwa oku­nci­nya­ne, utha­nda­bu­ze­la­nib?

32 Se­be­nge­ni­le emkhu­nji­ni, umo­ya wa­thu­la.

UJe­su usi­li­sa eli­zwe­ni le­Ge­ne­sa­re­tha

34 Kwa­thi se­be­cha­phi­le ba­fi­ka eli­zwe­ni le­Ge­ne­sa­re­thae.

35 Ese­ma­zi ama­do­da aku­le­yo­nda­wo athu­me­la ili­zwi ku­so so­nke le­so­si­ga­ba esi­zi­nge­le­ze­le­yo, ale­tha ku­ye bo­nke aba­gu­la­yo.

36 Ba­se­be­mnce­nga, uku­thi ba­thi­nte nje umphe­tho we­se­mba­tho sa­khef; nja­lo bo­nkeg aba­thi­nta­yo ba­si­li­swah.

Aba­Fa­ri­si la­ba­bha­li ba­so­lwa nge­nxa ye­zi­mi­so za­bo

15Kwa­se­ku­fi­ka ku­Je­su aba­bha­li la­ba­Fa­ri­si aba­be­ve­la eJe­ru­sa­le­maa, ba­thi:

2 Ku­nga­ni aba­fu­ndi ba­kho be­se­phu­la isi­kob la­ba­da­lac? Ngo­ba ka­ba­ge­zi iza­ndla za­bo, nxa be­si­dla isi­nkwa.

3 Ko­dwa wa­phe­ndu­la wa­thi ku­bo: La­ni-ke ku­nga­ni li­se­phu­la umla­yo ka­Nku­lu­nku­lu nge­nxa ye­si­ko le­nu?

4 Ngo­ba uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­la­ya, wa­thi: Hlo­ni­pha uyi­hlo lo­nyo­kod; loku­thi: Othu­ka uyi­se ku­mbe uni­na ku­me­le afe lo­ku­fae;

5 ko­dwa li­na li­thi: Lo­ba ngu­ba­ni othi ku­yi­se ku­mbe ku­ni­na: Ku­ngu­mni­ke­lof, lo­ba yi­ni eve­la ki­mi inga­ku­si­za,

6 nja­lo enga­so­ze amhlo­ni­phe uyi­se ku­mbe uni­na; nga­lo­kho le­nza umla­yo ka­Nku­lu­nku­lug ube yi­ze nge­nxa ye­si­ko le­nuh.

7 Ba­ze­nzi­si, uI­sa­ya wa­pro­fe­tha ku­hle nga­ni, esi­thi:

8 La­ba­ba­ntu ba­so­nde­la ki­mi ngo­mlo­mo wa­bo, la­nge­nde­be ba­ngi­du­mi­se; ko­dwa inhli­zi­yo ya­bo ikha­tsha­na la­mii.

9 Ko­dwa ba­ngi­kho­nza nge­ze, be­fu­ndi­sa izi­mfu­ndi­so ezi­yi­mi­la­yo ya­ba­ntuj.

10 Ese­bi­ze­le ku­ye ixu­ku, wa­thi ki­lo: La­le­la­ni fu­thi li­qe­di­si­se.

45 Kwa­thi aba­pri­sti aba­khu­lu la­ba­Fa­ri­si se­be­zwi­le imi­fa­ne­ki­so ya­khe ba­zi uku­thi ube­khu­lu­ma nga­bo.

46 Kwa­thi se­be­di­nga uku­mba­mbas be­sa­ba ama­xu­kut, ngo­ba aye­mpha­tha nje­ngo­mpro­fe­thiu.

Umfa­ne­ki­so we­di­li lo­mtsha­do

22UJe­su wa­se­phe­ndu­la wa­bu­ya wa­khu­lu­ma la­bo nge­mi­fa­ne­ki­soa, wa­thi:

2 Umbu­so wa­ma­zu­lu ufa­na­ni­swa lo­mu­ntu oyi­nko­sib, owe­nze­la indo­da­na ya­khe idi­li lo­mtsha­doc;

5 Ko­dwa ka­ba­na­nza­nga, ba­zi­ha­mbe­la, omu­nye ensi­mi­ni ya­khe, omu­nye eku­the­ngi­se­la­ne­ni kwa­khe;

6 aba­se­le­yo ba­se­be­zi­ba­mba ince­ku za­khe bazi­pha­tha ku­bi bazi­bu­la­lai.

7 Ko­dwa kwa­thi inko­si iku­zwa lo­kho ya­thu­ku­the­la, ya­thu­ma ama­bu­tho ayo ya­bhu­bhi­sa la­bo­ba­bu­la­li, ya­tshi­sa umu­zi wa­boj.

8 Ya­si­si­thi ence­kwi­ni za­yo: Umtsha­do usu­lu­ngi­le, ko­dwa aba­nxu­si­we­yo be­be­nga­fa­ne­la­ngak.

9 Nga­kho ya­ni­ni ema­hla­nga­nwe­ni ezi­ndle­la, nja­lo bo­nke eli­nga­ba­tho­la, li­ba­bi­ze­le emtsha­dwe­ni.

10 Le­zo­nce­ku za­se­zi­phu­ma za­ya ezi­ndle­le­ni za­bu­tha bo­nke eza­ba­tho­la­yo, aba­bi ka­nye la­ba­lu­ngi­le­yo; indlu yo­mtsha­do ya­si­gcwa­la nga­ba­hle­zi­yol.

11 Kwa­thi inko­si inge­na uku­kha­nge­la aba­be­hle­zi eku­dle­ni ya­bo­na kho­na umu­ntu owa­ye­nge­mba­tha­ngam ise­mba­tho so­mtsha­don;

13 Inko­si ya­si­si­thi ezi­nce­kwi­niq: Mbo­phe­ni inya­wo le­za­ndla, li­msu­se li­mpho­se­le emnya­me­ni onga­pha­ndle; la­pho ku­za­ku­ba kho­na uku­kha­la lo­ku­ge­dla ama­zi­nyor.

14 Ngo­ba ba­ne­ngi aba­bi­zi­we­yo, ko­dwa ba­lu­tshwa­na aba­khe­thi­we­yos.

Umthe­lo ka­Ke­sa­ri

15 Kho­na-ke aba­Fa­ri­si ba­su­ka, ba­ce­bi­sa­na ngo­ku­thi ba­nga­mthi­ya nja­ni eku­khu­lu­me­nit.

16 Ba­se­be­thu­ma ku­ye aba­fu­ndi ba­bo ka­nye la­ba­ka­He­ro­diu, be­si­thi: Mfu­ndi­si, si­ya­zi uku­thi we­na uqo­tho, ufu­ndi­sa indle­la ka­Nku­lu­nku­lu nge­qi­ni­so, ka­wu­kha­tha­le­li mu­ntu, ngo­ba ka­wu­na­nzi isi­mo sa­ba­ntuv.

17 Nga­kho si­tshe­le, we­na uca­ba­nga­ni? Ku­vu­nye­lwe yi­ni uku­the­law ku­Ke­sa­ri, ku­mbe ha­tshix?

18 Ko­dwa uJe­su eba­zi ubu­bi ba­bo wa­thiy: Ba­ze­nzi­si, li­ngi­li­nge­la­niz?

19 Ngi­tshe­ngi­sa­ni ima­li yo­ku­the­la. Ba­se­be­mle­the­la ude­na­ri­yo*.

20 Wa­se­si­thi ku­bo: Ngo­ka­ba­ni lu­mfa­ne­ki­so la­lu­mbha­lo?

21 Ba­thi: Ngo­ka­Ke­sa­ri. Wa­se­si­thi ku­bo: Nga­kho mni­ke­ni uKe­sa­ri izi­nto zi­ka­Ke­sa­ri; lo­Nku­lu­nku­lu izi­nto zi­ka­Nku­lu­nku­lua.

22 Kwa­thi se­be­zwi­le ba­ma­nga­la; ba­mtshi­ya ba­ha­mbab.

Uku­vu­ka kwa­ba­fi­le­yo

23 Nga­lo­lo­su­ku kwe­za ku­ye aba­Sa­du­sic, aba­thi ka­ku­kho uku­vu­ka kwa­ba­fi­le­yod, ba­se­be­mbu­za,

24 be­si­thi: Mfu­ndi­si, uMo­zi­si wa­thi: Uba umu­ntu esi­fa enge­la­ba­ntwa­na, umfo­wa­bo uza­mtha­tha umka­khe, amvu­se­le umfo­wa­bo inza­loe.

25 Kwa­ku­kho­na pha­ka­thi kwe­thu ize­la­ma­ni ezi­yi­si­kho­mbi­sa; owo­ku­qa­la wa­se­tha­tha umfa­zi wa­fa; fu­thi enge­la­nza­lo, wa­tshi­ya umka­khe ku­mfo­wa­bo.

26 Kwa­ba nja­lo lo­we­si­bi­li, lo­we­si­tha­thu, kwa­ze kwa­ba ko­we­si­kho­mbi­sa.

27 Kwa­thi emva kwa­bo bo­nke kwa­fa lo­mfa­zi.

28 Nga­kho eku­vu­ke­ni kwa­ba­fi­le­yo, uza­ku­ba ngu­mka­ba­ni kwa­ba­yi­si­kho­mbi­sa? Ngo­ba bo­nke ba­be­la­ye.

29 Ko­dwa uJe­su wa­phe­ndu­la wa­thi ku­bo: Li­du­hi­le, li­nga­ya­zi imi­bha­lof, lo­ba ama­ndla ka­Nku­lu­nku­lug;

30 ngo­ba eku­vu­ke­ni kwa­ba­fi­le­yo ka­ba­tha­tha­ni, ka­be­ndi­swah, ko­dwa ba­nje­nge­ngi­lo­si zi­ka­Nku­lu­nku­lu ezu­lwi­ni.

31 Ko­dwa ma­ye­la­na lo­ku­vu­ka okwa­ba­fi­le­yoi, ka­li­fu­nda­nga yi­ni okwa­khu­lu­nywa ki­ni ngu­Nku­lu­nku­lu, esi­thi:

33 Kwa­thi ama­xu­ku eku­zwa ama­nga­la ka­khu­lu ngo­ku­fu­ndi­sa kwa­khek.

Umla­yo wo­ku­qa­la

34 Kwa­thi aba­Fa­ri­si, se­be­zwi­le uku­thi uJe­su uba­qu­me umlo­mol aba­Sa­du­sim, ba­bu­tha­na nda­wo­nye.

35 Lo­mu­nye wa­bo, isa­zu­mthe­tho, wambu­zan, emli­nga, esi­thio:

36 Mfu­ndi­si, yi­wu­phi umla­yo omkhu­lu emthe­thwe­ni?

37 UJe­su wa­se­si­thi ku­ye: Wo­tha­nda iNko­si uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­kho, nge­nhli­zi­yo ya­kho yo­nke, la­ngo­mphe­fu­mu­lo wa­kho wo­nke, la­nge­ngqo­ndo ya­kho yo­nkep;

38 yi­wo lo­wo umla­yo owo­ku­qa­la lo­mkhu­lu.

39 Lo­we­si­bi­li ufa­na­na la­wo uthi: Wo­tha­nda uma­khe­lwa­ne wa­kho nje­nga­lo­khu uzitha­nda we­naq.

40 Ku­le­yo­mi­la­yo emi­bi­li ku­mi­si­we umthe­tho wo­nke la­ba­pro­fe­thir.

UKri­stu lo­se­ndo lwa­khe

41 Kwa­thi se­be­bu­the­ne aba­Fa­ri­si, uJe­su wa­ba­bu­za,

42 esi­thi: Li­ca­ba­nga­ni ngo­Kri­stu? Uyi­ndo­da­na ka­ba­nis? Ba­thi ku­ye: Nge­ka­Da­vi­dat.

43 Wa­thi ku­bo: Pho uDa­vi­da wa­mbi­za nja­ni eku­Mo­ya ngo­ku­thi yi­Nko­siu, esi­thi:

19 Kwa­thi ese­hle­zi esi­hla­lwe­ni so­kwa­hlu­le­laa, umka­khe wa­thu­me­la ku­ye, wa­thi: Unga­bi la­nda­ba la­lo­wo olu­ngi­le­yob; ngo­ba la­mu­hla ngi­hlu­phe­ki­le ka­khu­lu nga­ye ephu­tshe­nic.

20 Ko­dwa aba­pri­sti aba­khu­lu la­ba­da­la ba­nce­nga­na la­ma­xu­ku uku­thi ace­le uBa­ra­ba­si, ambhu­bhi­se uJe­sud.

21 Wa­se­phe­ndu­la umbu­si wa­thi ku­bo: Li­tha­nda uku­thi ngi­li­khu­lu­le­le ba­ni ku­la­ba aba­bi­li? Ba­se­be­si­thi: UBa­ra­ba­si.

22 UPi­la­tu wa­thi ku­bo: Pho ngi­me­nze­ni uJe­su othi­wa ngu­Kri­stu? Bo­nke ba­thi ku­ye: Ka­be­the­lwe.

23 Umbu­si wa­se­si­thi: Ngo­ba we­nze bu­bi ba­ni? Ko­dwa ba­me­me­za ka­khu­lu, ba­thi: Ka­be­the­lwe!

24 Kwa­thi uPi­la­tu ese­bo­ni­le uku­thi ka­ku­si­zi lu­tho, ko­dwa kwa­se­ku­qa­la ku­la­lo­khu uku­ba le­si­phi­thi­phi­thie, wa­tha­tha ama­nzi, wa­ge­za iza­ndla pha­mbi kwe­xu­kuf, wa­thi: Angi­la­ca­la nge­ga­zi la­lu­mu­ntu olu­ngi­le­yo; zi­bo­ne­le­ni li­nag.

25 Bo­nke aba­ntu ba­se­be­phe­ndu­la ba­thi: Iga­zi la­khe ka­li­be phe­zu kwe­thu la­phe­zu kwa­ba­ntwa­na be­thuh.

26 Wa­se­ba­khu­lu­le­la uBa­ra­ba­si; ko­dwa ese­mtsha­ye nge­si­swe­pu uJe­su wamni­ke­la uku­thi abe­the­lwei.

Abe­bu­tho ba­me­nza uJe­su inhle­ki­sa

27 Abe­bu­tho bo­mbu­si ba­se­be­mnge­ni­sa uJe­su endli­ni yo­mbu­sij, ba­qo­qe­la ku­ye ibu­tho lo­nkek;

28 ba­mhlu­bu­la, ba­mgqo­ki­sa ise­mba­tho esi­bo­mvul,

30 Ba­mkha­fu­le­la ama­theo, ba­tha­tha umhla­nga, ba­tsha­ya ikha­nda la­khe.

32 Kwa­thi se­be­phu­mar, ba­fi­ca umu­ntu we­Ku­re­nes, uSi­mo­ni nge­bi­zot; ba­mba­mba nga­ma­ndla lo­wo uku­thi athwa­le isi­pha­mba­no sa­kheu.

UJe­su esi­pha­mba­nwe­ni

33 Se­be­fi­ki­le enda­we­ni ethi­wa yi­Go­lgo­thav, oku­yi­ku­thi iNda­wo yo­kha­kha­yiw,

44 La­ba­pha­ngip aba­be­be­the­lwe ka­nye la­yeq ba­mya­ngi­sa ngo­ku­fa­na­na­yor.

Uku­fa ku­ka­Je­su

45 Nja­lo ku­su­ke­la nge­ho­la le­si­thu­pha kwa­ba lo­bu­mnya­ma emhla­be­ni wo­nke kwa­ze kwa­ba li­ho­la le­si­fi­ca­mu­nwe­mu­nye*s;

46 se­ku­nga­ba li­ho­la le­si­fi­ca­mu­nwe­mu­nyet uJe­su wa­me­me­za nge­li­zwi eli­khu­lu, wa­thi: "E­li, Eli, la­ma sa­ba­kta­niu?" Oku­yi­ku­thi: Nku­lu­nku­lu wa­mi, Nku­lu­nku­lu wa­mi, ungi­tshi­ye­le­niv?

47 Nja­lo aba­nye kwa­ba­be­mi kho­na be­si­zwa ba­thi: Lo ubi­za uE­li­ja.

48 Nja­lo omu­nye wa­bo wa­hle wa­gi­ji­ma, wa­tha­tha uzi­pho, walu­gcwa­li­sa nge­vi­ni­gaw, walu­hlo­ma emhla­nge­ni, wa­mni­ka uku­thi ana­thex.

49 Ko­dwa aba­nye ba­thi: Ye­ke­la­ni si­bo­ne uku­thi uE­li­ja uza­ku­za amsi­ndi­sey.

50 UJe­su wa­se­bu­ya eme­me­za nge­li­zwi eli­khu­luz wa­ni­ke­la umo­yaa.

51 Fu­thi kha­nge­la, ive­yi­li le­the­mpe­li la­da­tshu­lwa ince­zu ezi­mbi­li la­qa­la phe­zu­lu li­si­ya pha­nsib; lo­mhla­ba wa­za­ma­za­ma; la­ma­dwa­la aqhe­ke­ze­kac;

52 la­ma­ngcwa­ba avu­le­ka; le­zi­du­mbu ezi­ne­ngi za­ba­ngcwe­le aba­se­be­le­le za­vu­swad;

53 se­be­phu­mi­le ema­ngcwa­be­ni emva ko­ku­vu­ka kwa­khe ba­nge­na emzi­ni ongcwe­le, ba­bo­na­ka­la kwa­ba­ne­ngie.

54 Kwa­thi indu­na ye­khu­lu la­la­bo aba­be­la­yo be­li­nde uJe­suf, se­be­bo­ni­le uku­za­ma­za­ma ko­mhla­bag le­zi­nto eze­nze­ki­le­yo, be­sa­ba ka­khu­luh, ba­thi: Nge­qi­ni­so lo ube­yi­Ndo­da­na ka­Nku­lu­nku­lui.

55 Kwa­ku­kho­na la­pho abe­si­fa­za­na aba­ne­ngi be­bu­ke­lej be­kha­tsha­nak, aba­be­mla­nde­le uJe­su be­ve­la eGa­li­lil, be­mnce­di­sam;

56 okwa­ku­kho­na pha­ka­thi kwa­bo oMa­ri­ya Ma­ga­da­le­nan, lo­Ma­ri­yao uni­na ka­Ja­ko­be lo­Jo­sep, lo­ni­na wa­ma­do­da­na ka­Ze­be­di­yaq.

Uku­ngcwa­tshwa ku­ka­Je­su

57 Kwa­thi se­ku­hlwi­ler, kwa­fi­ka umu­ntu ono­thi­le­yo eve­la eA­ri­ma­thi­yas, ibi­zo la­khe li­ngu­Jo­se­fa, owa­ye­ngu­mfu­ndi ka­Je­su la­yet;

58 ye­na wa­ya ku­Pi­la­tu, wa­ce­la isi­du­mbu si­ka­Je­su. UPi­la­tu wa­se­la­ya uku­thi isi­du­mbu a­si­ni­kweu.

59 UJo­se­fa wa­se­tha­tha isi­du­mbu wa­si­go­qe­la nge­le­mbu eli­co­le­ki­le­yo eli­hla­mbu­lu­ki­le­yo,

60 wa­si­be­ka engcwa­be­ni la­khe eli­tshav, ela­li­gu­ji­we edwa­le­niw; wa­se­gi­qe­la ili­tshe eli­khu­lu emnya­ngo we­ngcwa­ba, wa­ha­mbax.

61 Fu­thi kwa­ku­kho­na la­pho uMa­ri­ya Ma­ga­da­le­nay, lo­mu­nye uMa­ri­ya, be­hle­zi ma­qo­nda­na le­ngcwa­baz.

62 La­ngo­su­ku olu­la­nde­la­yo, olu­la­nde­la olwa­ma­lu­ngi­se­le­loa, aba­pri­sti aba­khu­lu la­ba­Fa­ri­si ba­bu­tha­na ku­Pi­la­tu,

63 be­si­thi: Nko­si, si­ya­khu­mbu­la uku­thi lo­wo­mkho­hli­si esa­phi­la wa­thib: Emva kwe­nsu­ku ezi­nta­thu ngi­za­vu­kac.

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.

65 UPi­la­tu wa­se­si­thi ku­bo: Li­la­ba­li­ndi; ha­mba­nid, lili­qi­ni­se nje­ngo­ku­bo­na kwe­nu.

66 Ba­ha­mba-ke ba­li­qi­ni­sa ingcwa­bae, be­li­pha­wu­la ili­tshef, be­la­ba­li­ndig.

Uku­vu­ka lo­ku­zi­bo­na­ka­li­sa ku­ka­Je­su

28Kwa­thi eku­phe­le­ni kwe­sa­ba­thaa, ema­da­bu­ka­ku­sa ku­si­ya osu­kwi­ni lo­ku­qa­la lwe­vi­kib, kwa­fi­ka uMa­ri­ya Ma­ga­da­le­nac, lo­mu­nye uMa­ri­ya, uku­za­bo­na ingcwa­bad.

2 Fu­thi kha­nge­la, kwa­ba kho­na uku­za­ma­za­ma ko­mhla­ba oku­khu­lue; ngo­ba ingi­lo­si ye­Nko­si ye­hla ive­la ezu­lwi­nif, ya­so­nde­la ya­gi­qa ili­tshe ya­li­su­sa emnya­ngo, ya­hla­la phe­zu kwa­log.

3 Lo­ku­bo­na­ka­la kwa­yo kwa­ku­nje­ngo­mba­neh, le­se­mba­tho sa­yo sa­si­mhlo­phe nje­nge­li­qhwa eli­khi­thi­ki­le­yoi.

4 Aba­li­ndi ba­se­be­thu­thu­me­la ngo­ku­ye­sa­ba, ba­ba nje­nga­ba­fi­le­yoj.

5 Ko­dwa ingi­lo­si ya­phe­ndu­la ya­thi kwa­be­si­fa­za­na: Li­nge­sa­bi li­na; ngo­ba ngi­ya­zi uku­thi li­di­nga uJe­su obe­be­the­lwe;

6 ka­kho la­pha; ngo­ba uvu­ki­lek, nje­ngo­ku­tsho kwa­khe; wo­za­ni li­bo­ne inda­wo la­pho iNko­si ebi­le­le kho­na.

7 Ha­mba­ni ma­si­nya­ne li­tshe­le aba­fu­ndi ba­khe uku­thi uvu­ki­le kwa­ba­fi­le­yol; nja­lo kha­nge­la­ni, uza­la­ndu­le­la uku­ya eGa­li­lim; li­za­mbo­na kho­na; kha­nge­la­ni, se­ngi­li­tshe­li­le.

8 Ba­se­be­phu­ma engcwa­be­ni ngo­ku­pha­ngi­sa be­lo­kwe­sa­ba le­nto­ko­zo enku­lun, ba­gi­ji­ma ba­ya uku­bi­ke­la aba­fu­ndi ba­kheo.

9 Kwa­thi be­si­ya­tshe­la aba­fu­ndi ba­khe, fu­thi kha­nge­la, uJe­su wa­ba­hla­nga­be­za, wa­thi: Mpi­lo enhlep! Ba­se­be­so­nde­la ba­ba­mba inya­wo za­kheq, ba­mkho­nzar.

10 UJe­su wa­se­si­thi ku­bo: Li­nge­sa­bis; ha­mba­ni, li­bi­ke­le aba­fo­we­thut uku­thi ba­ye eGa­li­li, nja­lo ba­za­ngi­bo­na kho­nau.

11 Kwa­thi se­be­ha­mba, kha­nge­la, aba­nye ku­ba­li­ndi ba­ya emzi­ni ba­bi­ke­la aba­pri­sti aba­khu­lu ko­nke okwe­nza­ke­le­yov.

12 Se­be­bu­the­ne la­ba­da­la, be­nza ice­bo, ba­ni­ka abe­bu­tho ima­li ene­ngiw,

13 be­si­thi: Ka­li­bo­ku­thi: Aba­fu­ndi ba­khe be­ze ebu­su­ku ba­me­ba si­le­le thi­na.

14 Fu­thi uba lo­khu ku­zwa­ka­la ku­mbu­six, thi­na si­za­mnce­nga, si­le­nze li­nga­bi se­nka­tha­zwe­niy.

15 Ba­se­be­tha­tha ima­li be­nza nje­nga­lo­khu aba­be­ku­fu­ndi­si­we. La­le­li­li­zwi la­nda pha­ka­thi kwa­ma­Ju­daz ku­ze ku­be la­mu­hlaa.

Uku­la­ye­ze­la ko­ku­ci­na ku­ka­Je­su

16 Kwa­thi aba­fu­ndi aba­li­tshu­mi la­nye ba­ya eGa­li­li, enta­be­ni uJe­sub aye­ba­la­ye­le yo­nac;

17 se­be­mbo­ni­le ba­mkho­nzad; ko­dwa aba­nyee ba­tha­nda­bu­zaf.

18 UJe­su wa­se­so­nde­la wa­khu­lu­ma la­bo, esi­thi: Wo­nke ama­ndla aphi­we mi­na ezu­lwi­ni le­mhla­be­nig;

19 nga­kho ha­mba­nih le­nze izi­zwe zo­nke zi­be nga­ba­fu­ndii, li­ba­bha­bha­thi­zej ebi­zwe­ni li­ka­Yi­se le­le­Ndo­da­na le­li­ka­Mo­ya oNgcwe­lek;

20 li­ba­fu­ndi­se uku­gci­na ko­nke engi­li­la­ye kho­na; fu­thi kha­nge­la­ni, mi­na ngi­la­nil insu­ku zo­nke ku­ze ku­be se­ku­phe­le­ni kwe­si­kha­thi. Ame­nim.
