Joha 19 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

UJesu ugwetshelwa ukufa(Mat 27:15–31; Mark 15:6–20; Luka 23:13–25)

1Ngakhoke uPilatu wamthatha uJesu, wamtshaya.

2Abebutho baluka umqhele wameva bawubeka ekhanda lakhe, bamambathisa ingubo eyibubende;

3beza kuye futhifuthi besithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yabaJuda! Bamwakala.

4Wabuya waphuma uPilatu wathi kubo: Khangelani, ngiyamkhuphela kini, lazi ukuthi kangifumani cala kuye.

5Wasephuma uJesu ethwele umqhele wameva embethe ingubo eyibubende. UPilatu wathi kubo: Khangelani, nangu lumuntu.

6Bathi bembona abapristi abakhulu lamanxusa, bamemeza bathi: Mbethele, mbethele! UPilatu wathi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limbethele, ngoba kangifumani cala kuye.

7Kodwa abaJuda bamphendula bathi: Silomlayo thina; ngomlayo wethu ufanele ukufa, ngoba uzenze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

8Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lamazwi, wasesesaba kakhulu,

9wangena futhi endlini yombusi wathi kuJesu: Ungowangaphi wena na? Kodwa uJesu kamphendulanga.

10Kwang’khona uPilatu wathi kuye: Kawukhulumi kimi? Kawazi yini ukuthi ngilamandla okukukhulula, ngilamandla futhi okukubethela na?

11UJesu wamphendula wathi: Ungebe lawo amandla phezu kwami, uba ungawanikwanga ngaphezulu. Ngakhoke onginikele kuwe ulesono esikhulu.

12Ngalokhoke uPilatu wafuna ukumkhulula; kodwa abaJuda bamemeza bathi: Uba ukhulula lumuntu, kawusuye umngane kaKesari; osuka azenze inkosi, umelana loKesari.

13Kuthe esizwa lamazwi uPilatu wamkhuphela phandle uJesu; wahlala phansi esihlalweni sokuthethela amacala endaweni egandelwe ngamatshe, ethiwa ngesiHeberu iGabatha.

14Kwakulusuku lokulungiselela iPhasika, kwakusemini. Wathi kubaJuda: Khangelani, nansi inkosi yenu.

15Kodwa bamemeza bathi: Msuse, msuse, mbethele! UPilatu wathi kubo: Ngibethele inkosi yenu na? Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: Kasilankosi thina, ngaphandle kukaKesari.

16Wasemnikela kubo ukuba abethelwe.

Ukubethelwa lokufa kukaJesu(Mat 27:32–56; Mark 15:21–41; Luka 23:26–49)

17Bamthathake uJesu, waphuma ethwele isiphambano sakhe, waya endaweni ethiwa yiNdawo yokhakhayi, ethiwa ngesiHeberu iGolgotha.

18Bambethela khona labanye ababili kanye laye, omunye ngapha, lomunye ngapha, uJesu ephakathi.

19UPilatu waloba isaziso, wasiphanyeka esiphambanweni. Kwakulotshiwe ukuthi: UJESU WASENAZARETHA, INKOSI YABAJUDA.

20Abanengi babaJuda basifunda lesisaziso; ngoba indawo lapho uJesu wayebethelwe khona, yayiseduze lomuzi. Kwakulotshiwe ngesiHeberu, langesiRoma, langesiGriki.

21Abapristi abakhulu babaJuda basebesithi kuPilatu: Ungalobi ukuthi: INkosi yabaJuda; kodwa loba ukuthi: Lumuntu wathi: NgiyiNkosi yabaJuda.

22UPilatu waphendula wathi: Engikulobileyo ngikulobile.

23Kwathi abebutho sebembethele uJesu, bathatha ingubo zakhe, bazenza izabelo ezine, kwaba yilowo lalowo owebutho waba lesabelo, bathatha lesigqoko. Kodwa isigqoko sakhe sasingelamthungo, salukiwe sonke kusukela phezulu kuze kufike phansi.

24Ngakhoke bakhulumisana besithi: Kasingasidabuli, kodwa asisenzele inkatho ukuba sizakuba ngesikabani. Lokhu kwenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi:

Babelana ingubo zami,

benzelana inkatho ngesigqoko sami.

25Azenzake lezizinto amabutho. Kodwa kwakumi ngasesiphambanweni sikaJesu unina, lodadewabo kanina, uMariya umkaKlophasi, loMariya Magadalena.

26Kwathi uJesu ebona unina lomfundi amthandayo bemi khona, wathi kunina: Mama, nanso indodana yakho.

27Wasesithi kumfundi: Nango unyoko. Kusukela kulesosikhathi umfundi lowo wamthatha wamusa ekhaya lakhe.

28Emva kwalokhu uJesu ekwazi ukuthi konke kuphelile ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo, wathi: Ngomile.

37Njalo omunye uthi:

Bazakumkhangela abamgwazileyo.Ukumbelwa kukaJesu(Mat 27:57–61; Mark 15:42–47; Luka 23:50–56)

38Emva kwalokhu uJosefa waseArimathiya, owayengumfundi kaJesu kodwa ekufihla ngenxa yokwesaba abaJuda, wacela kuPilatu ukuba asuse isidumbu sikaJesu; uPilatu wavuma. Ngakho weza, wasisusa isidumbu sakhe.

39Kweza loNikodima laye, owake wafika kuye kuqala ebusuku, ephethe imure lixutshaniswe lenhlaba, ubunengi bayo bungangemifuma eminengi.Joha 3:1–2

40Basebesithatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basigoqela ngamalembu kanye lamakha njengomkhuba welahlo labaJuda.

41Kuleyondawo lapho ayebethelwe khona kwakukhona insimu, ensimini kukhona iliba elitsha okwakungazanga kubekwe umuntu kulo.

42Ngenxa yokulungiselela kwabaJuda bambeka laphoke uJesu, ngoba iliba laliseduze.
