UMATEYU 26:1-35 Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024 (CXB24)
Kwathi, xeshikweni uYesu ebewagqibile onke la mazwi, wathi kubafundi bakhe, Niyazi ukuba emveni kweentsuku ezimbini kukho ipasika, aze uNyana woMntu anikelwe ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Bahlanganisana ngoko ababingeleli abakhulu, nababhali, namadoda amakhulu abantu, endlwini yombingeleli omkhulu okuthiwa nguKayafa. Babhunga ukuba bambambe uYesu ngobuqhophololo, bambulale. Babesithi ke, Kungabi ngomthendeleko, hleze kubekho isaqunge phakathi kwabantu. Kwathi, uYesu eseBhetani, endlwini kaSimon owayeneqhenqa, Kweza kuye umfazi enehlala lelabhastile, linamafutha aqholiweyo axabiso likhulu, wamgalela entloko, akubon’ ukuba uhleli ngasesithebeni. Bekubonile ke oko abafundi bakhe, bacaphuka, besithi, Yeyani na le nkcitho? Kuba la mafutha ngekuthengiswe ngawo ngexabiso elikhulu, kwaphiwa amahlwempu. Ekwazi ke oko, uYesu wathi kubo, Umfazi lo nimaphulelani na? ngokuba undenzele umsebenzi olungileyo. Kuba amahlwempu lawo nihleli ninawo; ke mna anihleli ninam. Kuba xa egalele la mafutha aqholiweyo emzimbeni wam, wenzele ukungcwatywa kwam. Inene ndithi kuni, Apho zithe zavakaliswa khona ezi ndaba zilungileyo kulo lonke ihlabathi, iya kuxelwa nayo le nto ayenzileyo yena, ibe sisikhumbuzo ngaye. Ngelo xesha kwaphuma omnye weshumi elinababini, ekuthiwa nguYuda Sikariyoti, waya kubabingeleli abakhulu, Wathi kubo, Ningandinika ntoni na, ndimnikele kuni? Banqophisana naye ngamaqhosha esilivere amashumi mathathu. Waza kwalapho wafuna ithuba elimlungeleyo lokuze amnikele kubo. Ke kaloku, ngowokuqala umhla wezonka ezingenagwele, beza abafundi kuYesu, besithi kuye, Ùfuna ukuba sikulungisele phi na ukuyidla ipasika? Wathi ke yena, Hambani niye kuwo umzi, kuthile, nithi kuye, Uthi uMfundisi, ixesha lam likufuphi; ndiya kuyenzela kwakho ipasika nabafundi bam. Benza ke abafundi njengoko uYesu wayebayalele ngako; bayilungisa ke ipasika. Kwakuhlwa ke, wahlala ngasesithebeni nabalishumi elinababini. Xa badlayo, wathi, Inene ndithi kuni, omnye kuni aba uya kundingcatsha. Bakuba buhlungu kakhulu, baqala ukuthi kuye bonke ngabanye, Ingaba ndim, yini na, Nkosi? Waphendula ke yena wathi, Osithe nkxu nam isandla esityeni, nguye lowo uya kundingcatsha. uNyana woMntu uyemka okunene, njengoko kubhalwe ngaye; yeha ke, loo mntu uNyana woMntu angcatshwa nguye! Ngekumlungele ukuba ebengazalwanga loo mntu. Waphendula ke uYuda, lowo umngcatshayo, wathi, Ingaba ndim, yini na, Rabhi? Wathi ke yena kuye, Uselutshilo nawe. Bakubon’ ukuba bayadla, uYesu wasithabatha isonka, wathi akusikelela, waqhekeza, wanika abafundi, wathi, Thabathani nidle; ngumzimba wam lo. Wayithabatha nendebe, wabulela, wabanika, esithi, Selani kuyo nonke; kuba ligazi lam eli lomnqophiso omtsha, eliphalala ngenxa yabaninzi, ukuze kuxolelwe izono. Ndithi ke kuni, Andisayi kusela kwesi siqhamo somdiliya, kuthabathela kweli xesha, kude kube yiloo mini sukuba ndisisela nani sisitsha ebukumkanini bukaBawo. Bakuba bevume ingoma yokubonga, baphuma baya eNtabeni yemiNquma. Ngelo xesha uthi uYesu kubo, Nina nonke niya kukhubeka ngam ngobu busuku; ngokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ndiya kumbetha umalusi, zichithwachithwe izimvu zomhlambi. Kodwa emveni kokuvuka kwam, ndiya kunandulela ndiye kwelaseGalili. Waphendula ke uPetros wathi kuye, Nokuba bonke baya kukhubeka ngawe, andisayi kukha ndikhubeke mna. Athi uYesu kuye, Inene ndithi kuwe, Kwangobu busuku, ingekalili inkuku, uya kundikhanyela kathathu. Athi uPetros kuye, Ndingafanelana ndimelwe kukuba ndife nawe, andingekhe ndikukhanyele. Batsho ke bonke abafundi.

Xa uYesu wayewagqibile onke la mazwi, wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Niyazi ukuba emva kweentsuku ezimbini iza kuba *yiPasika. Wothi ke *uNyana woLuntu anikelwe ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni.” Ngelo xesha ababingeleli abaziintloko namadoda amakhulu abantu babehlanganisene emzini kaKayafa, umbingeleli omkhulu. Babebhunga iqhinga lokumbamba uYesu, bambulale. Kodwa babesithi: “Oku makungenziwa ngePasika, hleze kubekho isiphithi-phithi.” Kwathi uYesu eseBhetani, endlwini kaSimon uZitshangubana, kwafika umntu obhinqileyo eneqhaga lelitye lelabhastile, linesiqholo esixabiso likhulu kunene. Kwathi, uYesu esetafileni, le ntokazi yamgalela entloko ngesiqholo eso. Bekubona oku, abafundi bakaYesu bakhathazeka, bathi: “Bekutheni ukuze kwenziwe le nkcitho ingaka? Esi siqholo ngesithengiswe ngemali eninzi, kwaphiwa amahlwempu.” UYesu, ekwazi abakuthethayo, wathi kubo: “Niyikhathazelani na le ntokazi? Indenzele into entle. Kaloku amahlwempu nisoloko ninawo; ke mna anisoloko ninam. Le ntokazi ithe ngokwenjenje yawuthambisela ukungcwatywa umzimba wam. Ndithi kuni, inene, naphi na apho zithe zavakaliswa khona ezi ndaba zimnandi kulo lonke ihlabathi, iya kuxelwa nayo le nto iyenzileyo yona, ibe sisikhumbuzo ngayo.” Ngelo xesha uJudas Sikariyoti, omnye wabafundi abalishumi elinambini, waya kubabingeleli abaziintloko, wathi: “Nondinika ntoni na ukuba ndithe uYesu ndamnikela kuni?” Ke bamnika amaqhosha amashumi mathathu emali yesiliva. Ukususela ngoko uJudas wazungula ukufumana ithuba lokumbambisa uYesu. Ke kaloku ngowokuqala umhla *wetheko lezonka ezingenagwele, abafundi bakaYesu beza kuye, bathi: “Ufuna ukuba siye kuyilungiselela phi na *iPasika?” Waza wathi: “Hambani niye esixekweni kumntu othile, nithi kuye: ‘UMfundisi uthi: Ixesha lam lisondele. Mna nabafundi bam siya kuyityela kwakho iPasika.’ ” Benza ke abafundi njengoko uYesu wayebayalele ngako, bayilungiselela iPasika. Kwakuhlwa ke, uYesu waya kuhlala etafileni, enabafundi bakhe abalishumi elinambini. Xa babesitya, uYesu wathi: “Ndithi kuni, inene, omnye kuni uya kundingcatsha.” Baza ke baba buhlungu, besithi kuye ngabanye: “Ngaba iya kuba ndim na, Nkosi?” Wabaphendula wathi: “Lowo usithi nkxu esityeni isonka kunye nam, nguye oya kundingcatsha. Okunene yena *uNyana woLuntu uyemka, njengoko zitshoyo ngaye *iziBhalo; kodwa hayi loo mntu angcatshwa nguye uNyana woLuntu! Ngekumlungele loo mntu ukuba ebengazalwanga.” Waphendula uJudas, lowo wayeza kumngcatsha, wathi: “Ngaba iya kuba ndim na, Mfundisi?” UYesu wathi: “Nawe utsho.” Xa babesitya uYesu wathatha isonka, wabulela, wasiqhekeza, wabanika abafundi bakhe, wathi: “Thathani nitye; ngumzimba wam lo.” Wathatha nendebe, wabulela, wabanika, wathi: “Selani kuyo nonke; kuba ligazi lam eli elisisiqinisekiso somnqophiso, eliphalazelwa abaninzi, ukuze baxolelwe izono. Ndithi kuni, andiyi kuphinda ndisele kwincindi yeediliya, kude kube yiloo mini ndiyisela kunye nani iyentsha kwikomkhulu likaBawo. ” Bakuba becule indumiso, baphuma baya eNtabeni yemiNquma. Ngelo xesha uYesu wathi kubo: “Ngobu busuku nonke niya kukhubeka ngenxa yam, kuba *iziBhalo zithi: ‘Ndiya kubulala umalusi, zichithakale iigusha.’ Xa ke ndithe ndavuswa ekufeni, ndiya kunandulela, ndiye kwelaseGalili.” Waphendula uPetros, wathi kuye: “Nokuba baya kukhubeka bonke, mna andingekhe!” UYesu ke wathi kuye: “Ndithi kuwe, inene, kwangobu busuku, ingekakhali inkuku, uya kundikhanyela kathathu.” UPetros wathi kuye: “Nokuba ndingade ndibe ndiza kufa kunye nawe, andingekhe ndikukhanyele!” Batsho bonke ke abafundi.

Bahlanganisana ngoko ababingeleli abakhulu, nababhali, namadoda amakhulu abantu, endlwini yombingeleli omkhulu okuthiwa nguKayafa. Babhunga ukuba bambambe uYesu ngobuqhophololo, bambulale. Babesithi ke, Kungabi ngomthendeleko, hleze kubekho isaqunge phakathi kwabantu. Kwathi, uYesu eseBhetani, endlwini kaSimon owayeneqhenqa, Kweza kuye umfazi enehlala lelabhastile, linamafutha aqholiweyo axabiso likhulu, wamgalela entloko, akubon’ ukuba uhleli ngasesithebeni. Bekubonile ke oko abafundi bakhe, bacaphuka, besithi, Yeyani na le nkcitho? Kuba la mafutha ngekuthengiswe ngawo ngexabiso elikhulu, kwaphiwa amahlwempu. Ekwazi ke oko, uYesu wathi kubo, Umfazi lo nimaphulelani na? ngokuba undenzele umsebenzi olungileyo. Kuba amahlwempu lawo nihleli ninawo; ke mna anihleli ninam. Kuba xa egalele la mafutha aqholiweyo emzimbeni wam, wenzele ukungcwatywa kwam. Inene ndithi kuni, Apho zithe zavakaliswa khona ezi ndaba zilungileyo kulo lonke ihlabathi, iya kuxelwa nayo le nto ayenzileyo yena, ibe sisikhumbuzo ngaye. Ngelo xesha kwaphuma omnye weshumi elinababini, ekuthiwa nguYuda Sikariyoti, waya kubabingeleli abakhulu, Wathi kubo, Ningandinika ntoni na, ndimnikele kuni? Banqophisana naye ngamaqhosha esilivere amashumi mathathu. Waza kwalapho wafuna ithuba elimlungeleyo lokuze amnikele kubo. Ke kaloku, ngowokuqala umhla wezonka ezingenagwele, beza abafundi kuYesu, besithi kuye, Ùfuna ukuba sikulungisele phi na ukuyidla ipasika? Wathi ke yena, Hambani niye kuwo umzi, kuthile, nithi kuye, Uthi uMfundisi, ixesha lam likufuphi; ndiya kuyenzela kwakho ipasika nabafundi bam. Benza ke abafundi njengoko uYesu wayebayalele ngako; bayilungisa ke ipasika. Kwakuhlwa ke, wahlala ngasesithebeni nabalishumi elinababini.

Wayithabatha nendebe, wabulela, wabanika, esithi, Selani kuyo nonke; kuba ligazi lam eli lomnqophiso omtsha, eliphalala ngenxa yabaninzi, ukuze kuxolelwe izono. Ndithi ke kuni, Andisayi kusela kwesi siqhamo somdiliya, kuthabathela kweli xesha, kude kube yiloo mini sukuba ndisisela nani sisitsha ebukumkanini bukaBawo. Bakuba bevume ingoma yokubonga, baphuma baya eNtabeni yemiNquma. Ngelo xesha uthi uYesu kubo, Nina nonke niya kukhubeka ngam ngobu busuku; ngokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ndiya kumbetha umalusi, zichithwachithwe izimvu zomhlambi. Kodwa emveni kokuvuka kwam, ndiya kunandulela ndiye kwelaseGalili. Waphendula ke uPetros wathi kuye, Nokuba bonke baya kukhubeka ngawe, andisayi kukha ndikhubeke mna. Athi uYesu kuye, Inene ndithi kuwe, Kwangobu busuku, ingekalili inkuku, uya kundikhanyela kathathu. Athi uPetros kuye, Ndingafanelana ndimelwe kukuba ndife nawe, andingekhe ndikukhanyele. Batsho ke bonke abafundi.

KWAYE kute, okuya abezigqibile u‐Yesu zonke iziteto ezi, wati kubadisipile bake: Niyazi ukuba kuti emveni kwentsuku mbini kubeko ipasika; waye unyana wesintu eya kunikelwa ukuba akuruseshwe. Bandula bahlanganisana abaperisite abakulu, nababa̔li, nabadala babantu, endlwini yomperisite omkulu o‐kutiwa ngu‐Kayafasi, bacebisana ukuba bambambe u‐Yesu ngenkohliso, bambuiale.

Ngokwenene nditi kuni: Apo kusukuba kushunyayelwa kona ivangeli le kulo lonke ilizwe, kuya kutyelwa nalento ayenzileyo lo, ibe sisikumbuzo sake. Wandula wahamba owabalishumi linababini, o‐kutiwa ngu‐Jude Sikariyoti, waya kubaperisite abakulu, wati: Nivuma ukundinika nto nina? ndandiya kumnikela kuni. Baza bamlinganisela amaqosha esilivere angamashumi matatu. Wabesiti ke emveni kwoko wafuna ituba lokuba amngcatshe. Kekaloku ngowokuqala umhla wezonka ezingenagwele, beza abadisipile ku‐Yesu, besiti kuye: Utanda ukuba sikulungisele pina kutyiwe ipasika?

Waza kekaloku, nxa bebesitya, wati: Ngokwenene nditi kuni: Omnye wakuni wondingcatsha. Babelusizi kakulu ke, baqala ukuti kuye abanye ngabanye: Ndim na. Nkosi? Waza wapendula wati: Ofaka isandla esityeni kunye nam, nguye lowo oya kundingcatsha. Unyana wesintu uyemka okunene, njengokuba kuba̔liwe ngaye; kodwa kwoba nzima kulowamntu unyana wesintu ungcatshwa nguye! bekumlungele, ukuba ebengazalwanga lowamntu. Waza wapendula u‐Jude, owamngcatshayo, wati: Ndim na, Rabi? Wati kuye: Utshilo wena. Kekaloku nxa bebesitya, watabata u‐Yesu isonka, wabulela, waqezula, wanika abadisipile, wati: Tabatani, nitye; esi singumzimba wam. Kanjalo watabata indebe, wabulela, wabanika, esiti: Selani kuyo nonke; ngokuba le iligazi lam, elocebano olutsha, elipalazelwa abaninzi kube kukuxolelwa kwezono. Kodwa nditi kuni: Andisayi kusela emveni kwoku kwesisiqa̔mo somti weveyine, kude kube yimini leyo, okuya ndisiselayo nani sisitsha ebukumkanini BUKABAWO. Baza bati, bakuba bevumile iculo, bapuma baya entabeni yeminquma.
