Matthew 26
Icebo Elibi NgoJesu
1UJesu eseqedile ukukhuluma zonke lezi izinto, wathi kubafundi bakhe, 2“Njengoba lisazi, sekusele insuku ezimbili ukuba iPhasika lifike, njalo iNdodana yoMuntu izanikelwa ukuba ibethelwe.”3Abaphristi abakhulu labadala babantu basebeqoqana egumeni lomphristi omkhulu owayethiwa nguKhayifasi, 4baceba ukubopha uJesu ngasese bambulale. 5Bathi, “Kakungabi ngesikhathi somkhosi funa kube lesiphithiphithi ebantwini.”
UJesu Uyagcotshwa EBhethani
6Kwathi uJesu eseBhethani endlini yendoda eyayithiwa nguSimoni owayelobulephero, 7kweza kuye owesifazane ephethe imbodlela yamakha adula kakhulu wawathela ekhanda likaJesu owayeyeme etafuleni.8Abafundi bathi bekubona lokho bacasuka. Basebebuza bathi, “Adlaliselwani kanje na? 9Amakha la abengathengiswa ngemali ephezulu leyomali iphiwe abampofu.”
10UJesu esekunanzelele lokhu wathi kubo, “Limkhathazelani owesifazane lo na? Wenze into enhle kimi. 11Abampofu lizahlala lilabo kokuphela, kodwa kalisoze libe lami kokuphela. 12Uthe ethululela amakha la emzimbeni wami ubesenzela ukungilungiselela ukungcwatshwa. 13Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi langaphi lapho okuzatshunyayelwa ivangeli leli emhlabeni wonke, lokhu akwenzileyo kuzakhulunywa, kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.”
UJudasi Uvuma Ukunikela UJesu
14Kwathi omunye wabalitshumi lambili, lowo owayethiwa nguJudasi Iskariyothi, waya kubaphristi abakhulu 15wabuza wathi, “Lizangiphani nxa ngimnikela kini?” Base bembalela inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu. 16Kusukela khonapho uJudasi wadinga ithuba lokuba amnikele.Isidlo SeNkosi
17Ngosuku lokuqala loMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo abafundi beza kuJesu bambuza bathi, “Ufuna senzele ngaphi amalungiselelo okuthi udle iPhasika na?”18Waphendula wathi, “Ngenani edolobheni komunye umuntu limtshele lithi, ‘UMfundisi uthi: Isikhathi sami esimisiweyo sesiseduze. Ngizakudla iPhasika labafundi bami endlini yakho.’ ” 19Ngakho abafundi benza njengokulayelwa kwabo nguJesu balungisa iPhasika.
20Kwathi kusihlwa, uJesu wayehlezi eyeme etafuleni elabalitshumi lambili. 21Kwathi besidla wathi, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi omunye wenu uzanginikela.”
22Badana kakhulu basebesithi kuye ngamunye, “Pho kawutsho mina Nkosi?”
23UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lowo odle kanye lami emganwini uzanginikela. 24INdodana yoMuntu kwenzakala kuyo njengoba kulotshiwe ngayo. Kodwa maye kulowomuntu ozanikela iNdodana yoMuntu! Bekungaba ngcono kuye ngabe wayengazalwanga.”
25Wasesithi uJudasi, lowo owayezamnikela, “Pho kawutsho mina, Rabi?”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Yebo, nguwe okutshoyo.”
26Bathi besadla uJesu wathatha isinkwa wabonga, wasihlephula wasipha abafundi bakhe esithi, “Thathani lidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami.”
27Wasethatha inkezo, esebongile, wabanika esithi, “Nathani kuyo, lonke. 28Leli ligazi lami lesivumelwano, elichithelwe abanengi ekuthethelelweni kwezono. 29Ngiyalitshela, angisayikuphinda nginathe okwesithelo sevini, kusukela manje kuze kube yilolosuku lapho engizakunatha khona kabutsha lani embusweni kaBaba.”
30Bathi sebehlabele ihubo baphuma baya eNtabeni yama-Oliva.
UJesu Ubonisa Ngokuphika KukaPhethro
31UJesu wasebatshela wathi, “Ngabona lobubusuku lizakwenyela ngami, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi:‘Ngizatshaya umelusi
izimvu zomhlambi zizahlakazeka.’ ▼
▼ UZakhariya 13.7
32 Kodwa ngemva kokuba sengivukile kwabafileyo, ngizalandulela ukuya eGalile.”
33UPhethro waphendula wathi, “Loba bonke bangaze benyele ngenxa yakho, mina kimi ngezake kwenzeke.”
34UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngikutshela iqiniso ukuthi ngabona lobubusuku, iqhude lingakakhali uzangiphika kathathu.”
35Kodwa uPhethro wala wagomela wathi, “Loba kungenzeka ukuba ngife lawe, ngeke lanini ngikuphike.” Abanye abafundi labo batsho njalo.
EGetsemane
36UJesu wasehamba labafundi bakhe endaweni eyayithiwa yiGetsemane, wasesithi kubo, “Hlalani lapha, mina ngisaya laphayana ukuyakhuleka.” 37Wathatha uPhethro lamadodana kaZebhediya womabili wahamba labo, waseqala ukuhlulukelwa lokukhathazeka. 38Wasesithi kubo, “Umphefumulo wami ugajelwa lusizi kuze kuthi ngife. Hlalani lapha lilinde lami.”39Wahamba ibanganyana, wazilahla phansi wathi mbo ngobuso wakhuleka wathi, “Baba, nxa kungenzeka, sengathi inkezo le ingasuswa kimi. Kodwa akungabi yintando yami, kodwa kube yintando yakho.”
40Wasephenduka kubafundi bakhe wabafica belele. Wabuza uPhethro wathi, “Lina madoda kambe kulehlule ukulinda kanye lami okwehola elilodwa nje? 41Lindani likhuleke ukuze lingaweli ekulingweni. Umoya uyathanda kodwa umzimba ubuthakathaka.”
42Wahamba njalo okwesibili wakhuleka wathi, “Baba wami, nxa kungenzeki ukuthi linkezo isuswe ngaphandle kokuthi ngiyinathe, intando yakho mayenziwe.”
43Wathi esebuya wabafica njalo sebelele, ngoba amehlo abo ayenzima. 44Ngakho wasebatshiya waphinda wahamba njalo wayakhuleka okwesithathu ephinda into yinye.
45Wasebuyela kubafundi wathi kubo, “Lilele, liyaphumula na? Khangelani, isikhathi sesisondele, iNdodana yoMuntu isizanikelwa ezandleni zezoni. 46Phakamani! Kasihambeni! Nangu usesiza onginikelayo.”
Ukubotshwa KukaJesu
47Wathi esakhuluma, uJudasi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili wafika. Wayehamba lexuku elikhulu lihlomile ngezinkemba lezinduku lithunywe ngabaphristi abakhulu labadala babantu. 48Omnikelayo wayelungisile labo isiboniso wathi: “Lowo engizamanga nguye; mbopheni.” 49UJudasi wahle waqonda kuJesu wathi, “Sabona, Rabi!” wamanga.50UJesu waphendula wathi, “Mfowethu, yenza lokho okulandileyo.”
Asesondela amadoda, amdumela uJesu ambopha. 51Khonapho omunye wabaphelekezeli bakaJesu wakhokha inkemba yakhe wagadla encekwini yomphristi omkhulu, wayiquma indlebe.
52UJesu wathi kuye, “Buyisela inkemba yakho endaweni yayo, ngoba bonke abakhokha inkemba bazakufa ngenkemba. 53Ucabanga ukuthi ngingaze ngacela kuBaba, masinyane nje angiphe amaviyo alitshumi lambili ezingilosi? 54Kodwa phela ibingagcwaliseka kanjani imibhalo ethi kumele kwenzeke ngale indlela na?”
55Khonapho uJesu wathi exukwini labantu, “Kanti ngikhokhela umvukela yini lize lihlome ngezinkemba lezinduku ukuzangibamba na? Insuku zonke ngangihlala emagumeni ethempeli ngifundisa, kodwa kalingibophanga. 56Kodwa lokhu kwenzeke ukuze kugcwaliseke imibhalo yabaphrofethi.” Khonapho abafundi bonke bamtshiya babaleka.
UJesu Phambi KweSanihedrini
57Labo abambophayo uJesu bamusa kuKhayifasi, umphristi omkhulu, lapho okwasekubuthene khona abafundisi bomthetho labadala. 58Kodwa uPhethro wayemlandela ehambela khatshana waze wayangena egumeni lomphristi omkhulu. Wangena wahlala phansi lamanxusa efuna ukubona okwakuzakwenzakala.59Abaphristi abakhulu leSanihedrini yonke babedinga ubufakazi bamanga ngoJesu ukuze bambulale. 60Kodwa babuswela, lanxa abanengi ofakazi bamanga bavela.
Ekucineni ababili beza phambili 61bathi, “Umfokazi lo wathi, ‘Ngilamandla okulidiliza ithempeli likaNkulunkulu ngiphinde ngilakhe kutsha ngezinsuku ezintathu.’ ”
62Umphristi omkhulu wasesukuma wathi kuJesu, “Kawuyikuphendula na? Kuyini kanti lokhu okufakazwa ngamadoda la ngawe na?” 63Kodwa uJesu wala elokhu ethule.
Umphristi omkhulu wathi kuye, “Ngiyakulaya, ngifunga ngoNkulunkulu ophilayo ngithi: Sitshele ingabe unguKhristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.”
64UJesu waphendula wathi, “Yebo, kunjengoba usitsho. Kodwa ngithi kini lonke: Ngesikhathi esizayo lizayibona iNdodana yoMuntu ihlezi kwesokunene sikaMninimandla isehla ngamayezi ezulwini.”
65Khonapho umphristi omkhulu wadabula izigqoko zakhe wathi, “Uyahlambaza! Sisafunelani abanye ofakazi na? Khangelani, manje selikuzwile ukuhlambaza. 66Lithini ngakho?”
Baphendula bathi, “Ufanele ukufa.”
67Basebemkhafulela emehlweni njalo bamdutshuza ngenqindi. Abanye bamakala 68bathi, “Phrofitha kithi, wena Khristu. Ngubani okutshayileyo?”
UPhethro Ulandula UJesu
69UPhethro wayehlezi phandle egumeni, kwasekusiza kuye intombazana eyincekukazi yathi kuye, “Lawe njalo wawuloJesu waseGalile.”70Kodwa walandula phambi kwabo bonke. Wathi, “Angikwazi lokho okhuluma ngakho.”
71Wasesuka ephuma entubeni lapho abonwa khona ngenye intombazana eyathi ebantwini khonapho, “Umfokazi lo wayeloJesu waseNazaretha.”
72Walandula njalo efunga esithi, “Kangiyazi indoda leyo!”
73Ngemva kwesikhatshana labo ababemi khonapho baya kuPhethro bathi, “Ngempela ungomunye wabo ngoba indlela okhuluma ngayo iyakuceba.”
74Wasekhihliza iziqalekiso phezu kwakhe wafunga kubo wathi, “Angimazi mina lowomuntu!”
Masinyane iqhude lakhala. 75UPhethro waselikhumbula ilizwi elakhulunywa nguJesu esithi: “Iqhude lingakakhali uzangilandula kathathu.” Waphumela ngaphandle wakhala kabuhlungu.
