Ndebele - Luke - 23

23:1  Kwasekusukuma ixuku labo lonke, lamusa kuPilatu.

23:2  Baqala ukummangalela, besithi: Simficile lo eduhisa isizwe, esalela ukuthela kuKesari, esithi nguye onguKristu iNkosi.

23:3  UPilatu wasembuza, wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? Wasemphendula wathi: Uyatsho wena.

23:4  Wasesithi uPilatu kubapristi abakhulu lemaxukwini: Kangitholi cala kulumuntu.

23:5  Kodwa baqinisa, besithi: Udunga abantu, efundisa kuyo yonke iJudiya, eqala eGalili kuze kufike lapha.

23:6  Lapho uPilatu esizwa kuthiwa iGalili wabuza ukuthi lumuntu ungumGalili yini.

23:7  Kwathi esezwile ukuthi ungowombuso kaHerodi, wamthumela kuHerodi, owayekhona laye eJerusalema ngalezonsuku.

23:8  Kwathi uHerodi embona uJesu wathokoza kakhulu; ngoba wayekade ethanda ukumbona, ngoba wayezwile okunengi ngaye; wayethemba ukuthi uzabona isibonakaliso esithile sisenziwa nguye.

23:9  Wambuza ngamazwi amanengi; kodwa yena kamphendulanga lutho.

23:10  Abapristi abakhulu lababhali babemi, bemmangalela ngamandla.

23:11  UHerodi lamabutho akhe bamyangisa, bamklolodela, basebemgqokisa isembatho esikhazimulayo, bambuyisela kuPilatu.

23:12  Ngalolosuku uHerodi kanye loPilatu baba ngabangane omunye komunye; ngoba ngaphambi kwalokhu babelobutha phakathi kwabo.

23:13  UPilatu wasebizela ndawonye abapristi abakhulu lababusi labantu,

23:14  wathi kubo: Limlethile kimi lumuntu, ngokungathi ungoduhisa abantu; njalo khangelani, mina ngimhlolile phambi kwenu, kangitholanga cala kulumuntu ngalezozinto elimmangalela ngazo;

23:15  hatshi ngitsho loHerodi; ngoba ngilithumeze kuye, njalo khangelani, kakulalutho olufanele ukufa olwenziwe nguye.

23:16  Ngakho ngizamtshaya ngimkhulule.

23:17  Kwakufanele ukuthi abakhululele abe munye ngomkhosi.

23:18  Bamemeza bonke kanyekanye besithi: Msuse lo, usikhululele uBarabasi

23:19  (owayephoselwe entolongweni ngenxa yomvukela othile owenzeka phakathi komuzi langenxa yokubulala).

23:20  Ngakho uPilatu wabuya wakhuluma labo, efuna ukumkhulula uJesu.

23:21  Kodwa bamemeza, besithi: Bethela, mbethele!

23:22  Wasesithi kubo ngokwesithathu: Ngoba lo enze bubi bani? Kangitholanga kuye icala afanele ukufa ngalo; ngakho ngizamtshaya ngimkhulule.

23:23  Kodwa baqinisa ngamazwi amakhulu, befuna ukuthi abethelwe; lamazwi abo lawabapristi abakhulu aphumelela.

23:24  UPilatu wasequma ukuthi kwenziwe isicelo sabo.

23:25  Wasebakhululela lowo ababemcelile owayephoselwe entolongweni ngenxa yomvukela lokubulala; kodwa uJesu wamnikela entandweni yabo.

23:26  Kwathi sebemqhuba, babamba uSimoni othile umKurene owayevela emaphandleni, bamethesa isiphambano, ukuthi asithwale ngemva kukaJesu.

23:27  Laselimlandela ixuku elikhulu labantu, labesifazana labo ababekhala bemlilela.

23:28  Kodwa uJesu ephendukela kubo wathi: Madodakazi eJerusalema, lingangikhaleli mina, kodwa zikhaleleni lina labantwana benu,

23:29  ngoba khangelani, ziyeza insuku abazakutsho ngazo ukuthi: Zibusisiwe inyumba, lezizalo ezingazalanga, lamabele angamunyisanga.

23:30  Khona bezaqalisa ukuthi ezintabeni: Welani phezu kwethu; lemaqaqeni: Sisibekeleni.

23:31  Ngoba uba besenza lezizinto esihlahleni esimanzi, kuzakwenzakalani kwesomileyo?

23:32  Kwaqhutshwa labanye abenzi bobubi ababili, ukuthi babulawe kanye laye.

23:33  Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa luKhakhayi, bambethela khona, labenzi bobubi, omunye ngakwesokunene, lomunye ngakwesokhohlo.

23:34  UJesu wasesithi: Baba, bathethelele; ngoba kabakwazi abakwenzayo. Njalo babelana izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa.

23:35  Labantu bema babukela. Lababusi kanye labo bamklolodela, besithi: Wasindisa abanye, kazisindise yena, uba yena enguKristu, okhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.

23:36  Labebutho bamklolodela, beza kuye bamnika iviniga,

23:37  besithi: Uba wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda, zisindise wena.

23:38  Kwakukhona lombhalo ngaphezu kwakhe kulotshiwe ngamabala esiGriki langesiRoma langesiHebheru othi: LO UYINKOSI YAMAJUDA.

23:39  Lomunye wabenzi bobubi ababelengisiwe wamthuka, esithi: Uba wena unguKristu, zisindise wena lathi.

23:40  Kodwa omunye waphendula emkhuza, esithi: Wena kawumesabi yini uNkulunkulu, lokhu lawe ukulokhukulahlwa?

23:41  Thina kambe kusilungele, ngoba semukela okulingene ukwenza kwethu; kodwa lo kenzanga lutho olungafanelanga.

23:42  Wasesithi kuJesu: Ungikhumbule, Nkosi, lapha ufika embusweni wakho.

23:43  UJesu wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Lamuhla uzakuba lami eParadise.

23:44  Kwakungaba lihola lesithupha*, kwaba khona ubumnyama phezu komhlaba wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye*,

23:45  futhi ilanga lalifiphaziwe, leveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa phakathi.

23:46  UJesu wasememeza ngelizwi elikhulu esithi: Baba, ezandleni zakho ngibeka umoya wami; esetshilo lokhu waphefumula okokucina.

23:47  Kwathi induna yekhulu isibonile okwenzekileyo, yamdumisa uNkulunkulu, isithi: Isibili lumuntu ubelungile.

23:48  Lamaxuku wonke ayebuthene ukubukela lokho, sebebonile izinto ezenzekileyo, babuyela betshaya izifuba zabo.

23:49  Bonke abazana laye, labesifazana ababemlandela bevela eGalili, bema khatshana, bebona lezizinto.

23:50  Njalo khangela, indoda ethiwa nguJosefa, ilunga lomphakathi, indoda elungileyo eqotho;

23:51  yena wayengavumelananga lecebo lesenzo sabo; wayevela eArimathiya umuzi wamaJuda, laye ngokwakhe wayelindele umbuso kaNkulunkulu;

23:52  lowo waya kuPilatu wacela isidumbu sikaJesu.

23:53  Wasesethula wasigoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo, wasibeka engcwabeni elaligujwe edwaleni, lapho okwakungazanga kubekwe khona umuntu.

23:54  Kwakulusuku lwamalungiselelo, lesabatha laselisondela.

23:55  Labesifazana, ababeze laye bevela eGalili, balandela, balibona ingcwaba, lokuthi isidumbu sibekwe njani.

23:56  Basebebuyela emuva balungisa amakha lamagcobo. Ngesabatha basebephumula njengokomlayo.
