Luka 23

¹Kwase kusuka isixuku sabo sonke, samyisa kuPilatu.

²Base beqala ukumthwesa icala, besithi: Simfumene lo edukisa isizwe, enqabela ukuthela kuKesari, esithi yena unguKristu iNkosi.

³UPilatu wambuza wathi: “Wena uyinkosi yabaJuda na? Wasephendula wathi kuye: Utsho wena.

⁴UPilatu wayesethi kubapristi abakhulu nasezixukwini: “Angitholi cala kulo muntu.

⁵Baqinisa kakhulu, bethi: “Uvusa abantu, efundisa kulo lonke iJudiya, eqala eGalile waze wafika lapha.

⁶UPilatu esezwile ngeGalile wabuza ukuthi lowomuntu ungowaseGalile yini.

⁷Kwathi esekwazi ukuthi ungowombuso kaHerodi, wamthumela kuHerodi, owayekhona laye eJerusalema ngalesosikhathi.

⁸UHerode embona uJesu wajabula kakhulu, ngokuba kwase kuyisikhathi eside efuna ukumbona, lokhu ebezwile ngaye; wayethemba ukuthi uzobona isibonakaliso senziwa nguye.

⁹Wasembuza ngamazwi amaningi; kodwa akamphendulanga lutho.

¹⁰Abapristi abakhulu nababhali babemi bemmangalela kakhulu.

¹¹UHerodi lamabutho akhe bameyisa, bamklolodela, bamgqokisa isembatho esikhazimulayo, bambuyisela kuPilatu.

¹²Ngalolo suku oPilatu noHerode baba ngabangane, ngokuba ngaphambili babenobutha phakathi kwabo.

¹³Kwathi uPilatu esebizele ndawonye abapristi abakhulu lababusi labantu.

¹⁴Wathi kubo: “Nilethe kimi lo muntu njengophambukisa abantu;

¹⁵Qha, noHerode, ngokuba nginithumele kuye; bheka, akenzanga lutho olufanele ukufa kuye.

¹⁶Ngakho-ke ngiyakumshaya, ngimkhulule.

¹⁷(Ngokuba kufanele abakhululele oyedwa ngomkhosi.)

¹⁸Basebememeza kanyekanye, besithi: Susa lumuntu, usikhululele uBaraba;

¹⁹owaphonswa etilongweni ngenxa yesiyaluyalu esithile esasenzeka emzini, nangenxa yokubulala.

²⁰Ngakho uPilatu ethanda ukumkhulula uJesu, wabuye wakhuluma kubo.

²¹Kodwa bamemeza, besithi: Mbethele, mbethele!

²²Wasesithi kubo ngokwesithathu: Ngoba enze ububi bani? Kangitholanga kuye icala lokufa; ngakho ngizamtshaya, ngimyeke ahambe.

²³Base beqinisa amazwi amakhulu befuna ukuba abethelwe. Futhi amazwi abo nawabapristi abakhulu aphumelela.

²⁴UPilatu wanquma ukuthi kwenziwe njengokucela kwabo.

²⁵Wayesebakhululela owayefakwe etilongweni ngenxa yesiyaluyalu nokubulala, ababemcelile; kodwa wamnikela uJesu entandweni yabo.

²⁶Kwathi bemuka naye, babamba uSimoni waseKhurene evela endle, bambethela isiphambano, ukuba asithwale emva kukaJesu.

²⁷Kwamlandela isixuku esikhulu sabantu, nabesifazane ababemkhalela, bemlilela.

²⁸Kodwa uJesu ephendukela kubo wathi: Madodakazi aseJerusalema, lingangikhaleli mina, kodwa zikhaleleni lina labantwana benu.

²⁹Ngokuba bhekani, ziyeza izinsuku abayakusho ngazo ukuthi: ‘Zibusisiwe izinyumba, nezizalo ezingazalanga, namabele angamunyisanga.

³⁰Khona bayakuqala ukuthi ezintabeni: Welani phezu kwethu; nasezintabeni: Sisibekele.

³¹Ngokuba uma benza lokho esihlahleni esiluhlaza, kuyakwenziwani kowomileyo na?

³²Kwakukhona-ke nezinye izelelesi ezimbili, zasiwa kanye laye ukuze zibulawe.

³³Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa uKhalvari, bambethela khona kanye nezelelesi, esinye ngakwesokunene, nesinye ngakwesokhohlo.

³⁴UJesu wayesethi: “Baba, bathethelele; ngoba kabakwazi abakwenzayo. Babelana izingubo zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa.

³⁵Abantu bema bebukela. Nababusi bamhleka usulu, bathi: “Wasindisa abanye; akazisindise, uma enguKristu, okhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.

³⁶Namasosha amklolodela, eza kuye, amnika uviniga.

³⁷Besithi: Uba wena uyinkosi yabaJuda, zisindise.

³⁸Kwakukhona nombhalo phezu kwakhe ngezinhlamvu zesiGreki, nesiLatini, nesiHeberu, othi: LO UYINKOSI YABAJUDA.

³⁹Nesinye sezelelesi ezaziphanyekiwe samthuka, sithi: “Uma wena unguKristu, zisindise wena nathi.

⁴⁰Kepha omunye wamkhuza, wathi: “Awumesabi uNkulunkulu, njengokuba ukulokhu kulahlwa na?

⁴¹Kepha thina ngokweqiniso; ngoba thina samukela umvuzo wezenzo zethu; kodwa yena lo akenzanga lutho olubi.

⁴²Yathi kuJesu: “Nkosi, ngikhumbule, nxa usufike embusweni wakho.

⁴³UJesu wathi kuye: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Namuhla uzakuba nami eParadisi.

⁴⁴Kwathi kungaba yihora lesithupha, kwaba khona ubumnyama phezu komhlaba wonke kwaze kwaba yihora lesishiyagalolunye.

⁴⁵Ilanga laba mnyama, iveli lethempeli ladabuka phakathi.

⁴⁶UJesu wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Baba, ezandleni zakho ngiyawubeka umoya wami.” Eseshilo lokho wafa.

⁴⁷Induna yekhulu isibonile okwenzekileyo, yamdumisa uNkulunkulu, ithi: “Nempela lo ubengumuntu olungileyo.

⁴⁸Isixuku sonke esasibuthene kulowo mbono, sibona okwenzekileyo, sabuyela emuva, sishaya izifuba.

⁴⁹Bonke abazana naye, nabesifazane ababemlandela bevela eGalile, bema kude, bebuka lezo zinto.

⁵⁰Bheka, kwakukhona indoda, igama layo linguJosefa, engumeluleki; futhi wayeyindoda elungileyo, elungile;

⁵¹Yena wayengavumelananga necebo nesenzo sabo; wayengowase-Arimathiya umuzi wamaJuda, naye owayelindele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.

⁵²Yona yaya kuPilatu, yacela isidumbu sikaJesu.

⁵³Yasehlisa, yasisonga ngelineni, yasibeka ethuneni eliqoshwe etsheni, okungakabekwa muntu kulo.

⁵⁴Ngalolo suku kwakuwukulungiselela, nesabatha lase lisondela.

⁵⁵Nabesifazane abeza naye bevela eGalile balandela, balibona ithuna, nokubekwa kwesidumbu sakhe.

⁵⁶Base bebuya, balungisa amakha namafutha; waphumula ngosuku lwesabatha ngokomthetho.
