UYOHANE 19:1-16

Waza ngoko uPilato wamthabatha uYesu, wamtyakatya. Amasoldati, eluke isithsaba ngameva, asibeka phezu kwentloko yakhe, amthi wambu ngengubo ebomvu, amana esithi, Aa! Kumkani wamaYuda! ammonxoza. Wabuya ngoko waphuma phandle uPilato; athi kubo, Yabonani, ndimzisa phandle kuni, ukuze nazi ukuba andifumani nalinye ityala kuye. Waphuma phandle ngoko uYesu, enxibe isithsaba sameva nengubo ebomvu; athi uPilato kubo, Nanko umntu. Bathe ngoko, bakumbona ababingeleli abakhulu namadindala, bankqangaza, besithi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Athi kubo uPilato, Mthabatheni nina, nimbethelele emnqamlezweni; kuba mna andifumani tyala kuye. Amphendula amaYuda athi, Thina sinomthetho; ngomthetho wethu ke úfanele ukufa, ngokuba ezenze uNyana kaThixo. Uthe ngoko uPilato, akuliva elo lizwi, woyika ngakumbi. Wabuya wangena endlwini yerhuluneli, wathi kuYesu, Ungowaphi na wena? Ke uYesu akamphendulanga. Athi ngoko uPilato kuye, Akuthethi na kum? Akwazi na ukuba ndinegunya lokukubethelela emnqamlezweni, nokuba ndinegunya lokukukhulula? Uphendule uYesu wathi, Ùnge ungenagunya nakanye kum, ukuba ubungalinikwanga livela phezulu; ngenxa yoko, ondinikeleyo kuwe unesono esikhulu ngakumbi. Ngenxa yoko wayefuna uPilato ukumkhulula; kodwa amaYuda ayenkqangaza esithi, Ukuba uthe wamkhulula lo, akusihlobo sikaKesare;• bonke abazenza ukumkani bachasa uKesare. Elivile ngoko uPilato eli lizwi, wamzisa phandle uYesu, wahlala esihlalweni sokugweba kwindawo ekuthiwa, siSandlalo saMatye; ke ngesiHebhere yiGabhata. Ke kaloku kwakuyimini yokulungiselela ipasika,• ilixa ke ngathi lilelesithandathu; athi kumaYuda, Nanko uKumkani wenu! Ke wona ankqangaza esithi, Susa, susa, mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Athi uPilato kuwo, Ndimbethelele emnqamlezweni na uKumkani wenu? Baphendula ababingeleli abakhulu bathi, Thina asinakumkani ungenguye uKesare. Wandula ngoko ukumnikela kubo, ukuze abethelelwe emnqamlezweni.
