Ngokuya NgoLukasi

22 Nje-ke umNyanya woBurotho obunganaSibiliso, obizwa ngokuthi yiPhasika,+ bewutjhidela.+ 2 Abaphristi abakhulu nabatloli bebafuna indlela engcono yokumbulala+ ngombana bebasaba abantu.+ 3 Yeke uSathana wangena kuJudasi, okuthiwa ngu-Iskariyodi, obekangomunye wabaliTjhumi namBili,+ 4 yena wakhamba wayokukhulumisana nabaphristi abakhulu nabaphathi bethempeli ngokuthi angamthengisa njani kibo.+ 5 Nabezwa lokho bathaba bebavuma ukumnikela imali yesiliva.+ 6 Naye wavuma, wathoma nokufuna ithuba elihle lokumthengisa kibo, isiqubuthu singekho.

7 Lafika ilanga lomnyanya woBurotho obunganaSibiliso, okulilanga okufuze kwenziwe ngalo umhlatjelo wePhasika;+ 8 uJesu wathuma uPitrosi noJwanisi, wathi: “Khambani niyosilungiselela ukudla iPhasika.”+ 9 Bathi kuye: “Ufuna siyolilungiselela kuphi?” 10 Wathi: “Naningena edorobheni, nizokuhlangana nomuntu ophethe umjeka wamanzi. Mlandeleni ningene ngendlini angena kiyo.+ 11 Nithi kumnikazi wendlu leyo, ‘uMfundisi uthi kuwe: “Ikuphi ikumba yeemvakatjhi engingadlela kiyo iPhasika nabafundi bami?”’ 12 Umuntu loyo uzonitjengisa ikumba ekulu, ephezulu enezinto ezitlhogekako. Lilungiseleni lapho.” 13 Bakhamba bafumana kunjengombana atjhwile, balungiselela iPhasika.

14 Kwathi nakufika isikhatheso, wahlala etafuleni nabapostoli.+ 15 Wathi kibo: “Bengifisa khulu ukudla iPhasikeli nani ngaphambi kobana ngitlhage; 16 ngombana ngiyanitjela, angekhe ngisalidla bekube kulapho lizaliseka emBusweni kaZimu.” 17 Wamukela ikapho, wathokoza uZimu bese wathi: “Thathani lokhu nidluliselane khona 18 ngombana ngithi kini, kusukela nje, angekhe ngisasela iwayini bekufike umBuso kaZimu.”

19 Wabuye wathatha uburotho+ wathokoza uZimu, wabuhlephula, wabanikela bona wathi: “Lokhu kutjho umzimbami,+ ozokunikelwa ngebanga lenu.+ Hlalani nikwenza lokhu bona ningikhumbule.”+ 20 Wenza okufanako nangekapho ngemva kokudla isidlo santambama, wathi: “Ikapho le itjho isivumelwano esitjha+ esiqinisekiswa ngeengazi zami,+ ezizokuphalazwa ngebanga lenu.+

21 “Kodwana qalani, isandla saloyo ongithengisako sinami etafuleni.+ 22 Kwamambala iNdodana yomuntu iyakhamba njengombana kubikezelwe+ nanyana kunjalo, maye! Ngomuntu ezokuthengiswa ngaye.”+ 23 Bathoma ukudemba indaba le babodwa ukuthi kuhlekuhle kungaba ngubani hlangana nabo ozokwenza lokhu.+

24 Godu kwavuka ipikiswano evuthako phakathi kwabo ngokuthi ngubani ongomkhulu kibo boke.+ 25 Kodwana wathi kibo: “Ababusi beentjhaba bakatelela ubukhosi babo phezu kweentjhaba begodu labo abanelawulo phezu kwazo babizwa ngamagama akhethekileko.*+ 26 Nina-ke akukafaneli nibe njalo.+ Omkhulu kini kufuze abe ngomncani kunani noke+ naloyo omrholi wenu abe sisebenzi senu. 27 Ngubani omkhulu, ngiloyo ohlezi etafuleni namkha ngiloyo ophakululako? Akusingiloyo ohlezi etafuleni na? Kodwana mina ngingophakululako phakathi kwenu.+

28 “Nokho, nina nikghodlhelele nami+ ekulingweni kwami;+ 29 yeke ngenza isivumelwano nani njengombana noBaba enze isivumelwano sombuso nami+ 30 bona nidle, nisele etafulenami emBuswenami,+ nihlale neenhlalweni zobukhosi+ nahlulele iinkoro ezili-12 zakwa-Israyeli.+

31 “Simoni, Simoni, qala, uSathana unifuna noke bona anihlunge njengekoroyi.+ 32 Nanyana kunjalo ngikubawele bona ukukholwa kwakho kungapheli+ kodwana wena nawubuyako, uqinise abafowenu.”+ 33 Wathi kuye: “Kosi, ngikulungele ukuya nawe ejele nekufeni.”+ 34 UJesu wathi kuye: “Ngiyakutjela Pitrosi, umkukurumbu angekhe ulile namhlanjesi bekube kulapho sewungiphike kathathu.”+

35 Godu wathi kibo: “Lokha nanginithuma ninganasikhwama semali, somphako namapatlagwana+ azange nitlhoge litho, akusinjalo?” Bathi: “Kunjalo!” 36 Wathi kibo: “Kodwana nje, loyo onesikhwama semali akasithathe nonesikhwama somphako akasithathe, kanti loyo onganasabula akathengise isambatho sakhe ayithenge. 37 Ngiyanitjela bona lokho okutloliweko kufuze kuzaliseke kimi, ukuthi, ‘Wabalwa nabanganamthetho.’+ Ngombana lokho kuyazaliseka malungana nami.”+ 38 Yeke bathi: “Kosi, siphethe iinsabula ezimbili.” Wathi kibo: “Zanele.”

39 Nakasuka lapho, waya eNtabeni yama-Oliva njengombana bekajayele ukwenza njalo, nabafundi bamlandela.+ 40 Nakafika lapho, wathi kibo: “Ragelani phambili nithandaza bona ningangeni esilingweni.”+ 41 Wasuka kibo waya ebangeni elingaba kuphoswa kwelitje, waguqa wathandaza, 42 wathi: “Baba, nangabe uyafuna, susa ikapho le kimi. Nanyana kunjalo, akungenzeki intandwami kodwana akwenzeke yakho.”+ 43 Yeke wabona ingilozi evela ezulwini yamqinisa.+ 44 Kodwana bekatlhuwe khulu kangangobana waragela phambili athandaza ngokudephileko+ nengurumelakhe yaba njengamathosi weengazi awela ehlabathini. 45 Nakaqeda ukuthandaza waya ebafundini bakhe, wabafumana balele, badiniwe ngebanga lesizi.+ 46 Wathi kibo: “Nilaleleni? Vukani niragele phambili nithandaza bona ningangeni esilingweni.”+

47 Asakhuluma, kweza isiqubuthu sidoswa phambili nguJudasi, ongomunye wabaliTjhumi namBili, waya kuJesu wammanga.+ 48 Kodwana uJesu wathi kuye: “Judasi, uthengisa iNdodana yomuntu ngokuyimanga?” 49 Labo ebebanaye nababona ebekuzokwenzeka, bathi: “Kosi, sibarharhabule ngesabula na?” 50 Omunye wabo warharhabula isisebenzi somphristi ophakemeko, wasiqunta indlebe yangesidleni.+ 51 Kodwana uJesu wathi: “Kwanele.” Wathinta indlebaso wayipholisa. 52 Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wathi ebaphristini abakhulu nebaphathini bethempeli nabadala ebebazele ukuzombamba: “Alo-ke, bekufanele nize niphethe iinsabula neembhuku ngathi nizokubamba isilelesi?+ 53 Ngesikhathi nginani ethempelini mihla namalanga,+ akhenge ningibambe.+ Kodwana lesi sikhathi senu namandla wobumnyama.”+

54 Bambopha bakhamba naye,+ bamusa emzini womphristi ophakemeko; kodwana uPitrosi bekalandela akudanyana.+ 55 Babasa umlilo ngaphakathi kwesirhodlo bahlala phasi ndawonye noPitrosi bekahlangana nabo.+ 56 Umntazana osisebenzi wambona njengombana ahlezi ngemkhanyweni womlilo, wamqalisisa wathi: “Indoda le nayo beyinaye.” 57 Kodwana waphika, wathi: “Mfazi, angimazi umuntu loyo.” 58 Ngemva kwesikhatjhana omunye umuntu wambona wathi: “Nawe ungomunye wabo.” UPitrosi wathi: “Mfo, angisinguye.”+ 59 Ngemva kwe-iri, omunye umuntu watjho bewagandelela athi: “Kwamambala indoda le beyinaye ngombana eqinisweni, imGalile!” 60 UPitrosi wathi: “Mfo, angiyazi into okhuluma ngayo le.” Asakhuluma, umkukurumbu walila. 61 IKosi yajika yaqala uPitrosi, uPitrosi wakhumbula amezwi weKosi nayithi kuye: “Ngaphambi kobana umkukurumbu ulile namhlanjesi, uzabe ungiphike kathathu.”+ 62 Waphumela ngaphandle wakhihla isililo esibuhlungu.

63 Abantu ebebabambe uJesu bathoma ukuhlekisa ngaye,+ bambetha;+ 64 bamgubuzesa ubuso, basolo bathi kuye: “Phorofida! Ngubani okubethileko?” 65 Bamhlambalaza nangokutjho ezinye izinto ezinengi.

66 Nakusako, umkhandlu wamadoda amadala wesitjhaba, ohlanganisa abaphristi abakhulu nabatloli, wabuthana ndawonye,+ wamusa ewolweni lawo leSanhedrini wathi: 67 “Nangabe unguKrestu, sitjela.”+ Kodwana wathi kibo: “Ngitjho nanyana nginganitjela, angekhe nikholwe. 68 Godu nanginganibuza, angekhe niphendule. 69 Nokho, kusukela nje iNdodana yomuntu+ izabe ihlezi esandleni sokudla sakaZimu esinamandla.”+ 70 Nabezwa lokho boke bathi: “Alo-ke, uyiNdodana kaZimu na?” Wathi kibo: “Nina ngokwenu niyatjho ukuthi ngingiyo.” 71 Bathi: “Sisabufunelani obunye ubufakazi? Ngombana sizizwele akutjho ngomlomakhe.”+
