Luke 22 (BONCB)
1 UMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo owawubizwa ngokuthi liPhasika wawususondele, 2 njalo abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho babedinga enye indlela yokumsusa uJesu, ngoba babesesaba abantu. 3 USathane wasengena kuJudasi owayethiwa ngu-Iskariyothi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili. 4 UJudasi waya kubaphristi abakhulu lezikhulu zabavikeli bethempeli wabonisana labo ukuthi amnikele njani uJesu. 5 Bathokoza kakhulu, basebevuma ukumupha imali. 6 Wavuma, wasemelela ithuba lokunikela uJesu kubo ngesikhathi kungelaxuku labantu. 7 Lwaselufika usuku lweSinkwa esingelaMvubelo okwakusenziwa ngalo umhlatshelo wewundlu lePhasika. 8 UJesu wathuma uPhethro loJohane wathi, “Hambani liyesilungisela ukuthi siyekudla iPhasika.” 9 Babuza bathi, “Ufuna siyelilungisela ngaphi?” 10 Waphendula wathi, “Lizakuthi nje lingena edolobheni, lizahlangana lendoda iphethe inkonxa yamanzi. Liyilandele kuleyondlu ezangena kuyo, 11 beselisithi kumninindlu, ‘Umfundisi uyabuza uthi: Ingaphi indlu yezethekeli, lapho engingadlela khona iPhasika labafundi bami?’ 12 Izalitshengisa ikamelo laphezulu elikhulu, elilungisiweyo. Yenzani amalungiselo khonapho.” 13 Bahamba bayafica izinto zimi njengokutshelwa kwabo nguJesu. Ngakho balilungisa iPhasika. 14 Kwathi isikhathi sesifikile uJesu wahlala etafuleni labapostoli bakhe. 15 Wasesithi kubo, “Bengitshiseka kakhulu ukudla iPhasika leli lani ngingakahlupheki. 16 Ngoba ngiyalitshela ukuthi kangisoze ngiphinde ngilidle njalo lize lizuze ukugcwaliseka embusweni kaNkulunkulu.” 17 Esethethe inkezo wabonga wasesithi, “Kuthatheni lokhu likwabelane. 18 Ngoba ngiyalitshela ukuthi angiyikuphinda nginathe okwesithelo sevini umbuso kaNkulunkulu uze ufike.” 19 Wasethatha isinkwa, wabonga wasesihlephuna wabapha, wathi, “Lo ngumzimba wami ophiwe lina; kwenzeni lokhu kube yisikhumbuzo sami.” 20 Ngaleyondlela, ngemva kokudla kwakusihlwa wathatha inkezo, esithi, “Inkezo le iyisivumelwano esitsha egazini lami, elichithelwa lina. 21 Kodwa isandla sakhe lowo ozanginikela sikanye lesami etafuleni. 22 INdodana yoMuntu izahamba njengoba kumisiwe, kodwa maye kulowomuntu oyinikelayo.” 23 Baqala ukubuzana ukuthi kambe ngabe ngubani kubo owayezakwenza lokhu. 24 Njalo kwaba lokuphikisana phakathi kwabo mayelana lokuthi ngubani kubo owayebonakala emkhulu kulabo bonke. 25 UJesu wathi kubo, “Amakhosi abeZizwe azitshengisela amandla awo kulabo ababusayo; leziphathamandla zakhona zibizwa ngokuthi Mcoli. 26 Kodwa akumelanga libe njalo. Endaweni yalokho, lowo omkhulu kulani lonke kabe njengomncinyane kini lonke, lalowo obusayo abe nguye okhonza abanye. 27 Kambe ngubani omkhulu kulomunye, lowo ohlezi etafuleni yokudla loba lowo ophakayo na? Kakusilowo osetafuleni na? Kodwa mina ngiphakathi kwenu njengalowo oliphakelayo. 28 Liyilabo abame lami ebunzimeni bami. 29 Ngakho ngiyalinika umbuso njengoba uBaba wanginika lami, 30 ukuze lidle njalo linathe etafuleni lami embusweni wami njalo lihlale ezihlalweni zobukhosi, lisahlulela izizwana zika-Israyeli ezilitshumi lambili. 31 Simoni, Simoni uSathane usecele ukulihlungula lonke njengengqoloyi. 32 Kodwa sengikukhulekele wena Simoni, ukuthi ukholo lwakho lungaze lwawela phansi. Ubokuthi nxa usuphendukile uqinise abafowenu.” 33 Kodwa waphendula wathi, “Nkosi, ngizimisele ukuhamba lawe entolongweni lasekufeni.” 34 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngiyakutshela, Phethro, ukuthi iqhude lingakakhali lamuhla, uzaphika kathathu ukuthi uyangazi.” 35 UJesu wasebabuza wathi, “Ngize ngilithume lingelamxhaka, loba isikhwama kumbe amanyathela, kukhona yini elake lakusilela?”Baphendula bathi, “Akubanga lalutho.” 36 Wathi, kubo, “Kodwa manje nxa ulesikhwama semali, sithathe, kanye lomgodla; njalo nxa ungelankemba, thengisa isigqoko sakho uyithenge. 37 Kulotshiwe ukuthi, ‘Wabalwa ndawonye lezoni’; njalo ngiyalitshela ukuthi lokhu kumele kugcwaliseke kimi. Yebo, lokho okubhaliweyo ngami sekufika ekugcwalisweni kwakho.” 38 Abafundi bathi, “Khangela, Nkosi, nanzi inkemba ezimbili.”Waphendula uJesu wathi, “Kwanele.” 39 UJesu wahamba njengenjayelo waya eNtabeni yama-Oliva, abafundi bakhe bamlandela. 40 Esefikile kuleyondawo, wathi kubo, “Khulekani ukuze lingaweli ekulingweni.” 41 Watsheda kubo okwebanga lokuphosa ilitshe, waguqa phansi wakhuleka wathi, 42 “Baba, nxa uthanda susa inkezo le kimi; kodwa akungabi yintando yami, kodwa kwenziwe eyakho.” 43 Ingilosi yabonakala kuye ivela ezulwini yamqinisa. 44 Kwathi edabukile kakhulu, wakhuleka ngokutshiseka, izithukuthuku zakhe zangathi ligazi lithontela phansi. 45 Wathi esephakeme ekukhulekeni wabuyela kubafundi bakhe wabafica belele, bekhathele ngenxa yosizi. 46 Wababuza wathi, “Kungani lilele na? Vukani likhuleke ukuze lingaweli ekulingweni.” 47 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika ixuku labantu, indoda ethiwa nguJudasi omunye wabalitshumi lambili, wayebahola. Wasondela kuJesu ukumanga, 48 kodwa uJesu wambuza wathi, “Judasi, uyayinikela na iNdodana yoMuntu ngokuyanga?” 49 Kwathi abalandeli bakaJesu sebebona okwasekuzakwenzeka bathi, “Nkosi, sigalele yini ngenkemba zethu?” 50 Omunye wabo wayigalela inceku yomphristi omkhulu, wayiquma indlebe yayo yokunene. 51 Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi, “Kakufuneki lokhu!” Waseyibamba indlebe yalowomuntu wamsilisa. 52 UJesu wasesithi kubaphristi abakhulu, lezikhulu zabalindi bethempeli kanye labadala bebandla ababemlandile, “Ngikhokhela umvukela yini lize liphethe izinkemba lenduku? 53 Zonke insuku bengilani emagumeni ethempeli, kodwa kalizange lingithinte. Kodwa lesi yisikhathi senu, lapho kubusa umnyama.” 54 Bamdumela, bamusa endlini yomphristi omkhulu. UPhethro wayemlandela ebucwala. 55 Kodwa kwathi sebebase umlilo phakathi kweguma bahlala phansi ndawonye, uPhethro wahlala phansi labo. 56 Intombazana eyisisebenzi yambona ehlezi khonapho ekukhanyeni komlilo. Yamkhangelisisa yathi, “Indoda le yayilaye.” 57 Kodwa yena waphika wathi, “Ntombazana, kangimazi.” 58 Ngemva kwesikhatshana omunye wambona wathi, “Lawe ungomunye wabo.”UPhethro waphendula wathi, “Ndoda, angisuye.” 59 Sekudlule phose ihola omunye wagcizelela wathi, “Ngeqiniso umuntu lo wayelaye, ngoba ungumGalile.” 60 Waphendula uPhethro wathi, “Ndoda, angikwazi okhuluma ngakho!” Elokhu esakhuluma, iqhude lakhala. 61 INkosi yatshibilika, yamkhangela yamuthi nhlo uPhethro. UPhethro waselikhumbula ilizwi iNkosi eyayilikhulumile kuye isithi: “Iqhude lingakakhali lamuhla, uzangiphika kathathu.” 62 Ngakho wasephumela ngaphandle wakhala kabuhlungu. 63 Amadoda ayelinde uJesu aqalisa ukumhoza lokumtshaya. 64 Amvala amehlo athi kuye, “Phrofitha! Ngubani okutshayileyo?” 65 Amthuka ngezindlela ezinengi. 66 Emadabukakusa inkundla yabakhokheli babantu, kanye labaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho yahlangana ndawonye, uJesu walethwa phambi kwabo. 67 Bathi, “Nxa unguKhristu sitshele.”UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngingaze ngilitshele kalisoze lingikholwe, 68 njalo nxa bengingalibuza belingeke liphendule. 69 Kodwa kusukela khathesi iNdodana yoMuntu izahlala kwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu olamandla amakhulu.” 70 Bonke babuza bathi, “Kutsho ukuthi-ke uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu na?”Waphendula wathi, “Liqondile ukuthi ngiyiyo.” 71 Basebesithi, “Sisabudingelani obunye ubufakazi na? Sesikuzwe kuphuma kowakhe umlomo.”
