NgokukaJohane 19:1-42 Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 (CZB24)
Khona uPilatu wamthatha uJesu, wambhaxabula. Amabutho eluka umqhele wameva awubeka ekhanda lakhe, amembathisa ingubo ebubende; Athi: Bayede, Nkosi yabaJuda! bamshaya ngezandla. UPilatu wabuye waphuma, wathi kubo: Bhekani, ngimkhiphela kini, ukuze nazi ukuthi angifumani cala kuye. Khona waphuma uJesu, ethwele umqhele wameva, nengubo ebubende; UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Khangelani umuntu! Kwathi abapristi abakhulu nezikhonzi bembona, bamemeza bathi: “Mbethele, mbethele esiphambanweni! UPilatu wathi kubo: “Mthatheni nina, nimbethele, ngokuba mina angitholi cala kuye. AmaJuda amphendula athi: Thina silomlayo, langokomlayo wethu ufanele ukufa, ngoba uzenze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Kuthe uPilatu esizwa lelo zwi, wesaba kakhulu; Wabuye wangena endlini yokwahlulela, wathi kuJesu: “Ungowaphi na? Kodwa uJesu kamphendulanga. UPilatu wayesethi kuye: “Awukhulumi kimi na? Awazi yini ukuthi nginamandla okukubethela, nginamandla okukukhulula na? UJesu waphendula wathi: “Ungeke ube namandla neze phezu kwami, uma ungawanikwanga evela phezulu; Kusukela lapho uPilatu wafuna ukumkhulula, kepha abaJuda bamemeza bathi: “Uma ukhulula lo, awusiye umngane kaKesari; Kwathi uPilatu ezwa lelo zwi, wamkhiphela ngaphandle uJesu, wahlala esihlalweni sokwahlulela endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi, Indawo egandaywe ngamatshe, kodwa ngesiHeberu iGabatha. Kwakulilungiselelo lephasika, kwakungaba yihora lesithupha; wayesethi kubaJuda: “Bhekani inkosi yenu! Kodwa bamemeza bathi: Susa, susa, mbethele esiphambanweni! UPilatu wathi kubo: Ngibethele inkosi yenu na? Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: Kasilankosi ngaphandle kukaKesari. Khona wamnikela kubo ukuba abethelwe. Basebemthatha uJesu, bahamba laye. Yena waphuma ethwele isiphambano sakhe, waya endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi iNdawo Yokhakhayi, ethiwa ngesiHeberu iGolgotha; lapho bambethela khona, labanye ababili kanye laye, omunye ngapha, loJesu ephakathi. UPilatu waloba nombhalo, wasibeka esiphambanweni. Kwakulotshiwe ukuthi: UJESU WENAZARETHA INKOSI YABAJUDA. Leso saziso abaningi kubaJuda basifunda, ngokuba indawo lapho uJesu ayebethelwe khona yayiseduze nomuzi, futhi kulotshiwe ngesiHeberu, nangesiGreki, nangesiLatini. Base bethi abapristi abakhulu babaJuda kuPilatu: “Ungalobi ukuthi: Inkosi yabaJuda; kodwa ukuthi wathi: Mina ngiyiNkosi yabaJuda. UPilatu waphendula wathi: Engikubhalileyo ngikulobile. Khona amasosha esembethele uJesu esiphambanweni, athatha izingubo zakhe, azenza izabelo ezine, kwaba yilelo butho laba nesabelo; nejazi lakhe; ibhantshi lalingenamthungo, lalukiwe lonke kusukela phezulu. Basebekhulumisana besithi: Kasingasidabuli, kodwa kasisenzele inkatho ukuthi sizakuba ngekabani; ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Babelana izembatho zami, lesambatho sami benza inkatho yokuphosa. Akwenza-ke lokho amasosha. Kwakumi ngasesiphambanweni sikaJesu unina, nodadewabo kanina, noMariya umkaKleyophase, noMariya Magdalena. UJesu ebona unina nomfundi amthandayo bemi khona, wathi kunina: “Mame, bheka indodana yakho! Wasesithi kumfundi: Khangela unyoko! Kusukela kuleso sikhathi lowo mfundi wamthatha wamyisa kwakhe. Emva kwalokho uJesu ekwazi ukuthi zonke izinto seziphelile, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo, wathi: Ngomile. Kwakubekwe isitsha esigcwele uviniga; bagcwalisa uzipho ngoviniga, baluhloma phezu kwehisopi, balubeka emlonyeni wakhe. Kuthe uJesu eselamukele uviniga, wathi: “Kufeziwe.” Wagebisa ikhanda, wafa. Ngakho abaJuda, njengoba kwakulilungiselelo, ukuba izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha, ngokuba lolo suku lwesabatha lwaluwusuku olukhulu, acela kuPilatu ukuba yephulwe imilenze yabo, bathathwe kude. Khona amabutho afika, aphula imilenze yowokuqala, neyomunye owayebethelwe kanye naye. Kodwa efika kuJesu, ebona ukuthi wayesefile, kawayephulanga imilenze yakhe; Kodwa elinye lamasosha lamgwaza ohlangothini ngomkhonto, kwaphuma masinyane igazi namanzi. Lowo obonileyo ufakazile, nobufakazi bakhe buqinisile, naye uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma iqiniso, ukuze nani nikholwe. Ngoba lezizinto zenziwa ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Akuyikuphulwa thambo lakhe. Futhi omunye umbhalo uthi: Bazamkhangela abamhlabayo. Emva kwalokho uJosefa wase-Arimathiya, engumfundi kaJesu, kodwa ekusithekeni ngokwesaba abaJuda, wacela kuPilatu ukuba asuse isidumbu sikaJesu; uPilatu wamvumela. Ngakho weza wathatha isidumbu sikaJesu. Kwafika noNikodemu owafika kuJesu kuqala ebusuku, ephethe ingxube yenhlaka nenhlaba, engaba amapondo ayikhulu. Base bethatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basisonga ngezindwangu zelineni kanye namakha, njengomkhuba wabaJuda ukumbela. Kwakukhona insimu endaweni lapho wayebethelwe khona esiphambanweni; nasensimu ithuna elisha, okungakabekwa muntu kulo. Ngakho bamlalisa lapho uJesu ngenxa yosuku lokuLungiselela lwabaJuda; ngoba ithuna laliseduze.

NgokukaJohane 19:1-42 IsiZulu 2020 (ZUL20)
UPilatu wayesemthatha uJesu, wambhaxabula. Amabutho ayeluke umqhele wameva, awufaka ekhanda lakhe, amembathisa ingubo ebukhwebezane, aya kuye, athi: “Bayede, nkosi yabaJuda!” Ammukula. UPilatu waphuma futhi, wathi kubo: “Niyabona-ke, ngimnikela kini, ukuba nazi ukuthi mina angifumananga cala kuye.” Wayesephumela ngaphandle uJesu ethwele umqhele wameva, embethe nengubo ebukhwebezane. Wayesethi kubo: “Nangu-ke lo muntu!” Kwathi ukuba abaphristi abakhulu nezikhonzi bambone, bamemeza, bathi: “Mbethele, mbethele esiphambanweni!” UPilatu wathi kubo: “Mthatheni nina, nimbethele esiphambanweni, ngokuba mina angifumani cala kuye.” AbaJuda bamphendula, bathi: “Sinomthetho thina; ngokwalo mthetho ufanele ukuba afe, ngokuba uzenze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” Kuthe lapho uPilatu ezwa leli lizwi, wesaba kakhulu, wabuye wangena endlini yokwehlulela, wathi kuJesu: “Ungowaphi wena na?” Kepha uJesu akamphendulanga. UPilatu wayesethi kuye: “Kungani ungakhulumi nami na? Awazi yini ukuthi mina nginegunya lokukukhulula, negunya lokukubethela esiphambanweni na?” UJesu waphendula, wathi: “Ngabe awunalo igunya phezu kwami, ukuba awulinikwanga ngaphezulu. Ngakho-ke onginikele kuwe, nguyena onesono esikhulu.” Ngenxa yalokhu, uPilatu wayefuna ukumkhulula, kodwa abaJuda bamemeza, bathi: “Uma umkhulula lo muntu, awusiye umngani kaKhesari. Noma ngubani ozenza inkosi, umelene noKhesari.” Ngakho-ke uPilatu esezwile lawo mazwi, wamkhiphela ngaphandle uJesu. Wahlala esihlalweni sokwehlulela endaweni okuthiwa: “EGandaywe Ngamatshe,” ngesiHebheru okuthiwa iGabhatha. Kwakulusuku lokulungiselela iPhasika, cishe sekuyihora lesithupha. UPilatu wathi kubaJuda: “Nansi-ke, inkosi yenu.” Kepha bamemeza, bathi: “Msuse, msuse, mbethele esiphambanweni!” Wathi kubo uPilatu: “Ngibethele inkosi yenu na?” Abaphristi abakhulu baphendula, bathi: “Asinayo inkosi, kuphela uKhesari.” Wayesemnikela kubo ukuba abethelwe esiphambanweni. Bamthatha-ke, bahamba naye. Ezithwalele isiphambano, bahamba naye, baya endaweni okuthiwa iNdawo Yekhanda, ngesiHebheru okuthiwa iGolgotha. Bambethela lapho nabanye ababili ababemphahlile uJesu. UPilatu waloba isaziso, sashayelelwa esiphambanweni. Kwakulotshwe ukuthi: UJESU WASENAZARETHA, INKOSI YABAJUDA. AbaJuda abaningi basifunda lesi saziso, ngokuba indawo lapho ayebethelwe khona uJesu yayiseduze nomuzi. Kwakulotshwe ngesiHebheru, ngesiRoma, nangesiGriki. Abaphristi abakhulu babaJuda bathi kuPilatu: “Ungabhali ukuthi: ‘Inkosi yabaJuda,’ kodwa ukuthi Yena wathi: ‘Ngiyinkosi yabaJuda.’ ” UPilatu waphendula, wathi: “Esengikulobile, ngikulobile.” Kuthe amabutho esembethele uJesu esiphambanweni, ayesethatha izingubo zakhe, azehlukanisa amaqoqo amane, kwaba yilelo nalelo butho laba nesabelo, neyembe futhi. Kepha iyembe lalingenamthungo, lalukiwe lonke kusukela phezulu. Ngakho-ke abonisana odwa athi ngalo: “Asingalidabuli, kodwa asenze unkatho, ukuze kubonakale ukuthi lizakuba ngelikabani.” Ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: “Babelana ngezingubo zami, benza unkatho ngesembatho sami.” Amabutho akwenza-ke lokho. Ngasesiphambanweni sikaJesu kwakumi unina, udadewabo kanina, uMariya umkaKleyophase, noMariya Magdalena. Kuthe uJesu embona unina nomfundi amthandayo bemi ngalapho, wathi kunina: “Mame, bheka indodana yakho.” Wayesethi kumfundi: “Bheka unyoko.” Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, lowo mfundi wamthatha uMariya, wamnakekela. Emva kwalokho, uJesu azi ukuthi konke sekuphelelisiwe, ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo, wathi: “Ngomile.” Kwakubekiwe lapho isitsha esigcwele iwayini elixutshwe noviniga; base bechoma ilula othini lwehisophi ligcwele uviniga, baliyisa emlonyeni wakhe. Kwathi ukuba uJesu awemukele uviniga, wayesethi: “Kufeziwe;” wagebisa ikhanda, wafa. Ngakho-ke abaJuda, lokhu kwakulusuku lokulungisela, nokuba izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha, ngenxa yokuba isabatha kwakulusuku olukhulu, bacela kuPilatu ukuba kwephulwe imilenze yababethelweyo, bese besuswa. Ayeseza-ke amabutho, ayaphula imilenze yowokuqala neyomunye owayebethelwe naye. Kuthe lapho efika kuJesu, abona ukuthi usefile, awayephulanga imilenze yakhe. Kepha elinye lamabutho lamgwaza ngomkhonto ohlangothini, kwaphuma igazi namanzi ngokushesha. Lowo obonileyo ufakazile futhi ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile, futhi lowo uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma iqiniso, ukuze nani nikholwe. Ngokuba lokhu kwenzeka ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: “Akuyukwaphulwa thambo lakhe.” Kukhona nomunye umbhalo othi: “Bayakumbheka abamgwazileyo.” Kuthe sekwenzekile lokho, uJosefa wase-Arimatheya, owayengomunye wabafundi bakaJesu owayengazivezi ngenxa yokwesaba abaJuda, wahamba wayocela ukuba asisuse isidumbu sikaJesu. UPilatu wamvumela, wayesehamba, wasisusa isidumbu sikaJesu. Kwafika noNikhodemu, owake wafika kuJesu ebusuku, yena-ke wayelethe ingxube yemure nenhlaba okungaba ngamalitha ayikhulu. Base besithatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basisonga ngezindwangu zelineni, basigquma ngamakha njengokosiko lwabaJuda lokungcwaba. Ngakuleyo ndawo ayebethelwe khona kwakunensimu, kukhona ithuna elisha kuyo, okungakaze kubekwe muntu kulo. Ngakho-ke ngenxa yokuthi kwakulusuku lwabaJuda lokulungisela iSabatha, bambeka kulelo thuna uJesu ngoba laliseduze.
NgokukaJohane 19:1-42 IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE (ZUL59)
UPilatu wayesemthatha uJesu, wamshaya. Amabutho aluka umqhele wameva awufaka ekhanda lakhe, amembathisa ingubo ebubende; aya kuye, athi: “Bayede, nkosi yabaJuda!” Ammukula. UPilatu wabuye waphuma, wathi kubo: “Bhekani, ngimkhiphela kini, ukuze nazi ukuba angifumani cala kuye.” Wayesephuma uJesu ethwele umqhele wameva nengubo ebubende. Wathi kubo uPilatu: “Bhekani lo muntu!” Bathi bembona abapristi abakhulu nezikhonzi, bamemeza bathi: “Mbethele, mbethele esiphambanweni!” UPilatu wathi kubo: “Mthatheni nina, nimbethele esiphambanweni, ngokuba angifumani cala kuye.” Kepha abaJuda bamphendula bathi: “Sinomthetho thina; ngalo mthetho ufanele ukufa, ngokuba ezenzile iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” Kuthe uPilatu ezwa lelo zwi, kwayikhona esaba kakhulu, wabuye wangena enqabeni, wathi kuJesu: “Ungowaphi wena na?” Kepha uJesu kamphendulanga. Khona wathi uPilatu kuye: “Awukhulumi kimi na? Awazi ukuthi nginamandla okukukhulula, nginamandla futhi okukubethela esiphambanweni na?” UJesu waphendula wathi: “Ngabe awunamandla neze phezu kwami, ukuba awuwanikwanga ngaphezulu. Ngalokho-ke onginikele kuwe unesono esikhulu.” Ngalokho uPilatu wayefuna ukumkhulula. Kepha abaJuda bamemeza bathi: “Uma ukhulula lona, awusiye umhlobo kaKesari; osuka ezenza inkosi, umelene noKesari.” Kuthe uPilatu esezwa lawo mazwi wamkhiphela ngaphandle uJesu; wahlala esihlalweni sokwahlulela endaweni ethiwa eGandaywe ngamatshe kodwa ngesiHeberu iGabatha. Kwakungolokulungisela iPhasika kungathi ihora lesithupha. Wathi kubaJuda: “Bhekani inkosi yenu.” Ngakho bamemeza bathi: “Susa, susa, mbethele esiphambanweni!” Wathi kubo uPilatu: “Ngibethele inkosi yenu na?” Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: “Asinankosi, uKesari kuphela.” Wayesemnikela kubo ukuba abethelwe esiphambanweni. Bamthatha-ke uJesu, bahamba naye. Waphuma ezithwalele isiphambano, waya endaweni ethiwa iNdawo Yekhanda, ethiwa ngesiHeberu iGolgotha. Bambethela khona nabanye ababili kanye naye ngalapha nangalapha, uJesu ephakathi. Kepha uPilatu waloba isaziso, wasibeka esiphambanweni. Kwakulotshiwe ukuthi: UJESU WASENAZARETHA, INKOSI YABAJUDA. Khona abaningi babaJuda bafunda leso saziso; ngokuba indawo leyo, lapho uJesu wabethelwa khona esiphambanweni, yayiseduze nomuzi. Kwakulotshiwe ngesiHeberu, nangesiRoma, nangesiGreki. Base bethi abapristi abakhulu babaJuda kuPilatu: “Ungalobi ukuthi: ‘Inkosi yabaJuda,’ kepha ukuba yena wathi: ‘NgiyiNkosi yabaJuda.’ ” UPilatu waphendula wathi: “Engikulobile ngikulobile.” Kuthe amabutho esembethele uJesu esiphambanweni, athatha izingubo zakhe, azenza izabelo ezine, kwaba yilelo nalelo butho laba nesabelo, neyembe futhi. Kepha iyembe lalingenamthungo, lalukiwe lonke kusukela phezulu. Ngakho-ke akhuluma odwa, athi: “Asingalidabuli, kodwa asilenzele inkatho yokuthi liyakuba ngelikabani,” ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: “Babelana izingubo zami, benzelana inkatho ngesambatho sami.” Lokho-ke akwenza amabutho. Kepha kwakumi ngasesiphambanweni sikaJesu unina kanye nodadewabo kanina, uMariya umkaKleyophase, noMariya Magdalena. Kuthe uJesu ebona unina nomfundi amthandayo bemi ngakhona, wathi kunina: “Mame, bheka indodana yakho.” Wayesethi kumfundi: “Bheka unyoko.” Kusukela kuleso sikhathi umfundi lowo wamyisa kwakhe. Emva kwalokho uJesu, ekwazi ukuthi konke sekuphelelisiwe ukuba umbhalo ugcwaliseke, wathi: “Ngomile.” Kwakubekiwe khona isitsha sigcwele uviniga; khona bachoma ilula ligcwele uviniga othini lwehisopi,* baliyisa emlonyeni wakhe. Kwathi ukuba uJesu ewamukele uviniga, wathi: “Kufeziwe;” wagebisa ikhanda, wafa. Khona abaJuda, ngokuba kwakungolokulungisela, ukuze izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabatha, ngokuba lolo suku lwesabatha lwalulukhulu, banxusa uPilatu ukuba yaphulwe imilenze yabo, basuswe. Ayeseza-ke amabutho, ayaphula imilenze yowokuqala neyomunye owayebethelwe naye. Esefika kuJesu, ebona ukuthi usefile, kawayaphulanga imilenze yakhe; kodwa elinye lamabutho lamgwaza ohlangothini ngomkhonto, kwaphuma masinyane igazi namanzi. Obonileyo ufakazile, ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile; yena-ke uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma iqiniso, ukuze nikholwe nani. Ngokuba lokho kwenzeka ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: “Akuyikwaphulwa thambo lakhe.” Futhi omunye umbhalo uthi: “Bayakumbheka abamgwazileyo.” Emva kwalokho uJosefa wase-Arimatheya, engumfundi kaJesu kepha ekufihla ngokwesaba abaJuda, wacela kuPilatu ukuba asuse isidumbu sikaJesu; uPilatu wavuma-ke. Wayesefika, wasisusa isidumbu sikaJesu. Kweza noNikodemu owafika kuye kuqala ebusuku, waletha ixube lenhlaka nomhlaba kungathi amalitra* ayikhulu. Ngakho base besithatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basisonga ngezindwangu zelineni kanye namakha njengesiko labaJuda lokumbela. Khona ngakuleyo ndawo, lapho wayebethelwe khona esiphambanweni, kwakukhona insimu, nasensimini kukhona ithuna elisha okwakungazange kubekwe muntu kulo. Bambeka lapho-ke uJesu ngenxa yolokulungisela lwabaJuda, ngokuba ithuna laliseduze.
