UMATEYU 27:1-31 IZIBHALO EZINGCWELE (XHO75)

Kuthe ke kwakusa, babhunga bonke ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu abantu ngaye uYesu, ukuba bambulale. Bathi bakumbopha, bamrhola, bamnikela kuPontiyo Pilato, irhuluneli. Waza uYuda, lowo wamngcatshayo, ebone ukuba ugwetyiwe, wazohlwaya, wawabuyisela kwakubabingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu loo maqhosha esilivere amashumi mathathu, esithi, Ndonile, kuba ndingcatshé igazi elingenatyala. Bathi ke bona, Iyini na kuthi loo nto? Zibonele wena. Wawaphosa phantsi etempileni apho loo maqhosha esilivere, wemka, waya wazixhoma. Ke kaloku ababingeleli abakhulu bawathabatha loo maqhosha esilivere, bathi, Akuvumelekile ukuwagalela emkhombeni weminikelo, ngokokuba elinani legazi. Babhunga ke, bathenga ngawo umhlaba wombumbi, ukuze ube yindawo yokungcwabela abasemzini. Kungoko wabizwayo loo mhlaba ngokuba ngumhlaba wegazi, kwada kwanamhlanje. Kwazaliseka ke okwathethwayo ngoYeremiya umprofeti, esithi, Bawathabatha loo maqhosha esilivere amashumi mathathu, inani lalowo wamiselwa inani, ábammisela inani aboonyana bakaSirayeli, bawarholela umhlaba wombumbi, njengoko yandiyalelayo iNkosi. Wema ke uYesu phambi kwerhuluneli, yambuza irhuluneli isithi, Únguye na uKumkani wamaYuda? Wathi ke uYesu kuyo, Nawe utsho. Ke kaloku ekumangalelweni kwakhe ngababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu, akaphendulanga nto. Aze athi uPilato kuye, Akuziva na ukuba zininzi kwazo iindawo abazingqinayo ngawe? Akaphendula zwi, noko lilinye, yada yamangaliswa kakhulu irhuluneli leyo. Ke kaloku imithendeleko ngemithendeleko irhuluneli ibiqhele ukuzikhululela izihlwele umbanjwa abe mnye, lowo babesithi bamfune. Baye ke ngelo xesha benombanjwa obesazeka, ekuthiwa nguBharabhas. Bakubon' ukuba ngoko bahlanganisene, wathi kubo uPilato, Nithanda ukuba ndinikhululele wuphi na, uBharabhas, uYesu ekuthiwa nguKristu,• kusini na? Kuba ebesazi ukuba bamnikele ngomona. Akubon' ukuba uhleli esihlalweni sokugweba, umfazi wakhe wathumela kuye, esithi, Uze ungabi nakuthini kuloo mntu ulilungisa, kuba namhlanje ndivé izinto ezininzi ezinzima ephupheni, ngenxa yakhe. Kodwa ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu bazeyisela izihlwele ekuthini zicele uBharabhas, zimtshabalalise uYesu. Yaphendula ke irhuluneli yathi kubo, Nguwuphi na kwaba bobabini enithanda ukuba ndinikhululele yena? Bathe ke bona, NguBharabhas. Athi uPilato kubo, Ndímenzeni na ke uYesu ekuthiwa nguKristu? Bathi kuye bonke, Makabethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Yathi ke irhuluneli, Kuba enze bubi buni na? Kwaba kukhona ke bancamisayo ukunkqangaza, besithi, Makabethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Uthe ke uPilato, akubona ukuba akancedi lutho, ebona ukuba sisuke sangakumbi isiphithiphithi, wathabatha amanzi, wahlamba izandla phambi kwezihlwele, esithi, Andinatyala egazini lalo mntu ulilungisa; ziboneleni nina. Baphendula bonke abantu bathi, Igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwethu, naphezu kwabantwana bethu. Waza wabakhululela uBharabhas; wathi ke, emtyakatyile uYesu, wamnikela ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Aza amasoldati erhuluneli amthabatha uYesu, amsa endlwini yerhuluneli, alihlanganisela phezu kwakhe ibutho lawo liphela. Amhluba, amnxiba ingubo ebomvu. Aluka isithsaba ngameva, amthi jize ngaso entloko; abeka nengcongolo esandleni sakhe sokunene, awa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, adlala ngaye, esithi, Aa! Kumkani wamaYuda! Amtshicela, ayithabatha ingcongolo, ambetha entloko. Athi, akuba edlale ngaye, amhluba ingubo leyo, amambathisa kwaezakhe iingubo; amrhola, aya kumbethelela emnqamlezweni.

UMATEYU 27:1-31 IBHAYIBHILE (XHO96)

Kwakusa, bonke ababingeleli abaziintloko namadoda amakhulu babhunga ngoYesu ngenjongo yokuba abulawe. Bambopha ke uYesu, bemka naye, bamnikela kwirhuluneli uPilato. UJudas, lowo wangcatsha uYesu, akubona ukuba uYesu ugwetyiwe, usuke wazohlwaya, wawabuyisela kubabingeleli abaziintloko namadoda amakhulu loo maqhosha amashumi mathathu emali yesiliva, esithi: “Ndonile ngokungcatsha igazi elingenatyala.” Kodwa bona bathi kuye: “Iyintoni ke loo nto kuthi? Zibonele ngokwakho.” Wayiphosa phantsi *endlwini kaThixo apho loo mali, wemka, waya kuzixhoma. Ababingeleli abaziintloko bayichola-chola loo mali, bathi: “Akuvumelekanga ukuba siyifake kweyeminikelo, kuba le mali yethenge igazi lomntu.” Babhunga ke, baza ngaloo mali bathenga umhlaba owawungowombumbi-zitya, ukuze ube yindawo yokungcwabela abasemzini. Kungoko nanamhla oku lo mhlaba ubizwa ngokuba nguMhlaba weGazi. Kwazaliseka ke okwathethwayo *ngumshumayeli uJeremiya, esithi: “Bâwathatha loo maqhosha amashumi mathathu emali yesiliva, wona alixabiso lomntu (kuba lilo elo ixabiso lemali awamiselwa lona umntu ngoonyana bakaSirayeli), baza bathenga umhlaba wombumbi-zitya ngawo, njengoko yandiyalelayo iNkosi.” Wema ke uYesu phambi kwerhuluneli, yambuza isithi: “Unguye na ukumkani wamaJuda?” UYesu wathi: “Nawe utsho.” Baza bammangalela ababingeleli abaziintloko namadoda amakhulu, kodwa yena akaphendula nento le. Waza wathi kuye uPilato: “Akuziva na ezi zinto zininzi bakumangalela ngazo?” Kodwa uYesu akaphendulanga konke, kangangokuba yada yamangaliseka mpela irhuluneli. Ke kaloku *ngePasika irhuluneli yayidla ngokusikhululela isihlwele umbanjwa abe mnye – lowo ke sasisithi simcele. Babenombanjwa owayesaziwa kakhulu, ekuthiwa nguBharabha. Sakuba ke isihlwele sihlanganisene, uPilato wathi kuso: “Nifuna ndinikhululele bani na: uBharabha okanye uYesu ekuthiwa nguKrestu?” Watsho kuba esazi ukuba bamnikele ngomona uYesu. Kwathi, uPilato ehleli esihlalweni sokugweba, inkosikazi yakhe yathumela kuye, isithi: “Uze ungamenzi nto loo mntu ulilungisa. Andonwabanga mpela namhlanje ngenxa yephupha endiliphuphe ngaye.” Ke bona ababingeleli abaziintloko namadoda amakhulu basifunza isihlwele ukuba sicele uBharabha, yena uYesu atshatyalaliswe. Yabuza irhuluneli yathi kuso: “Nguwuphi na kwaba babini enifuna ndinikhululele yena?” Sathi sona: “UBharabha.” UPilato wathi kuso: “Ndimenze ntoni na ke uYesu ekuthiwa nguKrestu?” Isihlwele sonke sathi: “Makabethelelwe emnqamlezweni!” Kodwa yena wathi: “Ngenxa yokuba enze bubi buni na?” Kodwa kwaba kokukhona isihlwele sidanduluka ngakumbi sisithi: “Makabethelelwe emnqamlezweni!” UPilato, akubona ukuba akuncedi nto, kungathi kungasuka kubekho isiphithi-phithi, uthathe amanzi, wahlamba izandla zakhe phambi kwesihlwele, esithi: “Ndimsulwa egazini lalo mntu. Ziboneleni ngokwenu.” Baphendula ke bonke abo bantu babelapho, bathi: “Igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwethu naphezu kwabantwana bethu.” Wabakhululela uBharabha ke, waza yena uYesu wanikelwa ukuba akatswe, abethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Amajoni ke amsa uYesu eyadini yomzi werhuluneli, aza alibizela apho ibutho lawo liphela. Amhluba izambatho uYesu, amambathisa ezibomvu, athi, eluke isithsaba sameva, amthi jize ngaso entloko, amphathisa ingcongolo ngesandla sokunene, aza aqubuda phambi kwakhe, ahlekisa ngaye, esithi: “Aa, kumkani wamaJuda!” Amtshicela, ayithatha ingcongolo, ambetha entloko. Athi ke akuba ehlekise ngaye, amhluba loo ngubo, amambathisa kwaezakhe, aphuma naye, esiya kumbethelela emnqamlezweni.

Kwathi kwakusa, babhunga bonke ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu abantu ngaye uYesu, ukuba bamsike. Bathe ke bakumbopha, bamrhola, bamnikela kuPontiyo Pilato, irhuluneli. Uthe ke uYuda, lowo umngcatshayo, akubona ukuba ugwetyiwe, wazohlwaya, wawabuyisela loo maqhosha esilivere amashumi mathathu kubabingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu, esithi, Ndonile, kuba ndingcatshe igazi elingenatyala. Bathi ke bona, Iyini na kuthi loo nto? zibonele wena. Wawaphosa phantsi etempileni apho loo maqhosha esilivere, wemka, waya wazixhoma. Bawathabatha ke ababingeleli abakhulu loo maqhosha esilivere, bathi, Akuvumelekile ukuba awaphose emkhumbini wokulondoloza imali, kuba elixabiso legazi. Babhunga ke, bathenga ngawo umhlaba wombumbi, ukuze ube yindawo yokungcwaba abasemzini. Kungoko wabizwayo loo mhlaba ngokuba ngumhlaba wegazi, kwada kwanamhlanje. Kwazaliseka ke okwathethwayo ngomprofeti uYeremiya, esithi, Bawathabatha amaqhosha esilivere amashumi mathathu, ixabiso lalowo uqiqiweyo, lowo waqingqwelwa ngoonyana bakaSirayeli; bawanikela ngenxa yentsimi yombumbi, njengoko yandiyalelayo iNkosi.

Uthe ke akumangalelwa ngababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu, akaphendula nto. Aze athi uPilato kuye, Akuziva na ukuba zininzi kwazo iindawo abazingqinayo ngawe? Akazange amphendule nelizwi elinye; yada yamangaliswa kakhulu irhuluneli leyo. Ke kaloku ngemithendeleko irhuluneli ibiqhele ukubakhululela abantu umbanjwa abe mnye, abasukuba bemfuna. Baye ke ngelo xesha benombanjwa obesazeka, ekuthiwa nguBharabhas.

Ke bona ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu bazeyisela izihlwele ukuba zicele uBharabhas, zimbulale uYesu. Yaphendula ke irhuluneli yathi kubo, Nguwuphi na kwaba bobabini enithanda ukuba ndinikhululele yena? Bathi ke bona, uBharabhas. Athi uPilato kubo, Ndimenzeni na ke uYesu ekuthiwa nguKristu? Bathi kuye bonke, Makabethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Yathi ke irhuluneli, Kuba enze bubi buni na? Kwaba kukhona ke bakhalayo ngakumbi, besithi, Makabethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Uthe ke uPilato, akubona ukuba akancedi lutho, ebona ukuba sisuke sangakumbi isiphithiphithi, wathabatha amanzi, wahlamba izandla phambi kwezihlwele, esithi, Andinatyala egazini lalo mntu ulilungisa; ziboneleni nina. Baphendula ke bonke abantu, bathi, Igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwethu, naphezu kwabantwana bethu. Waza wabakhululela uBharabhas; wathi ke, emtyakatyile uYesu, wamnikela ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni.

UMATEYU 27:1-31 Incwadi Yeziba̔lo Ezingcwele 1864, 1902 (Xhosa Appleyard) (XHO1902A)

KEKALOKU kwakuba kusile, bacebisana bonke abaperisite abakulu nabadala babantu ngakuye u‐Yesu, ukuze bamfise. Baza bati bakuba bemnxibile, bamr̔ola, bamnikela ku‐Pontiyusi Pilati kwinkosi. Wandula u‐Jude, owamngcatshayo, akubona ukuba ugwetyiwe, wazohlwaya, wazibuyisela kubaperisite abakulu nakubadala lomaqosha esilivere angamashumi matatu, esiti: Ndonile, igazi elingenatyala ndilingcatshile nje. Kodwa bati: Kuyinto nina kuti oko? kukangele ngokwako. Waza wawawisa lomaqosha esilivere etempileni apo, wemka, waya wazixo̔ma. Baza abaperisite abakulu batabata lomaqosha esilivere, bati: Akufanelekile ukuba afakwe etyeyeni yeminikelo, ngokokuba elinani legazi. Baza bacebisana, batenga ngawo intsimi yombumbi, ibe yindawo yokuncw̔atywa kwabasemzini. Ngoko kwabizwa intsimi leyo ngokuti yintsimi yegazi, kwada kwanamhla nje. Kwandula kwazaliseka oko kwatetwayo ngu‐Jeremiya umprofite, esiti: Baza batabata lomaqosha esilivere engamashumi matatu, elinani lalowo kwenziwa inani ngaye, lowo walenzelwayo inani ngabo abosapo luka‐Sirayeli, bawanikela intsimi yombumbi, njengokuba ebendiyalele UYEHOVA. Kekaloku u‐Yesu wema ebusweni benkosi. Yaza yambuza inkosi, isiti: Ungukumkani wama‐Juda na? Wayesiti u‐Yesu kuyo: Utsho wena. Kanti akunikwa ityala ngabaperisite abakulu nabadala, akapendula nto. Wandula wati u‐Pilati kuye: Akuva na izinto zininzi kangakanana abazinqi̔nayo ngakuwe? Akampendula ke nalinye ilizwi; yada yati nqa inkosi leyo kakulu. Kekaloku ngomtendeleko lowo inkosi ibiqelile ukukululela abantu umbanjwa abe mnye, lowo bamfunayo. Baye benaye ke oko umbanjwa owazekileyo kunene, o‐kutiwa ngu‐Baraba. Ngako, behlanganisene nje, wati kubo u‐Pilati: Nguwupina enifunayo ukuba ndinikululele yena? ngu‐Baraba na, ngu‐Yesu o‐kutiwa ngu‐Kristu kusinina? Ngokuba ebesazi ukuba babemnikele ngomona. Wati kekaloku ehleli nje esihlalweni sokugweba, umfazi wake watuma kuye; esiti: Ungenzi nto kulowamntu olungileyo; ngokuba intlungu ezininzi ndabendiziva namhla epupeni ngaye. Kodwa abaperisite abakulu nabadala bazicenga izihlwele, ukuba mazicele u‐Baraba, no‐Yesu mazimbubise. Yapendula ke inkosi yati kubo: Nguwupina kwaba babini enifunayo ukuba ndinikululele yena? Bati ke: Ngu‐Baraba. Wati kubo u‐Pilati: Ndize nditi nina ku‐Yesu o‐kutiwa ngu‐Kristu? Bati kuye bonke: Makakuruseshwe. Koko inkosi yati: Wenze ukukohlakala kunina pofu? Kodwa bebedanduluka ngakumbi, besiti: Makakuruseshwe. Wati kekaloku u‐Pilati, akubona ukuba akancedi luto, koko ngokukumbi kusuka isipitipiti, watabata amanzi, wahlamba izandla zake pambi kwesihlwele, esiti: Andinatyala egazini lalomntu olungileyo; kukangeleni oko ngokwenu. Baza bapendula bonke abantu bati: Igazi lake malibe pezu kwetu, napezu kwabantwana betu. Wandula wabakululela u‐Baraba; kodwa u‐Yesu, akuba emtyabule, wamnikela ukuba akuruseshwe. Andula amasodati enkosi amsa u‐Yesu endlwini yenkosi, ahlanganisa ngakuye lonke ibandla lawo. Aza amhluba ingubo zake, amfaka isivato esibomvumnyama. Ati akuba elukile isitsaba ngemitolo, asibeka pezu kwentloko yake, nengcongolo esandleni sake sokunene; aza aguqa ngamadolo ebusweni bake, amhleka, esiti: A, kumkani wama‐Juda! Aza amtshicela, atabata ingcongolo leyo, ambeta entlokweni yake. Ati xeshekweni ebemhlekile, amhluba isivato eso, amambatisa ingubo zake; aza amr̔ola ukuya kukuruseshwa.
