Ukuvuswa kukaLazaro
1Kwakukhona umuntu othile owayegula, othiwa nguLazaro owaseBethani emzini kaMariya lodadewabo uMatha.#Luka 10:38–39 2Kwakunguye uMariya owagcoba iNkosi ngamagcobo, wesula inyawo zayo ngenwele zakhe, omnewabo uLazaro wayegula.#Joha 12:3 3Ngakhoke odadewabo bathumela kuye, besithi: Nkosi, lowo omthandayo uyagula. 4UJesu esekuzwile wathi: Lokhukugula kakusikho okokufa, kodwa kungenxa yodumo lukaNkulunkulu ukuze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu idunyiswe ngakho.
5UJesu wayebathanda oMatha lodadewabo loLazaro. 6Ngakho esezwile ukuthi uyagula, wahlala insuku ezimbili endaweni lapho ayekhona. 7Kwathi emva kwalokhu wathi kubafundi bakhe: Asibuye siye eJudiya. 8Abafundi bathi kuye: Mfundisi, abaJuda basand’ukufuna ukukukhanda ngamatshe, usaya futhi khona na? 9UJesu waphendula wathi: Kawakho ama‐awa alitshumi lambili emini na? Nxa umuntu ehamba emini, kakhubeki, ngoba uyabona ukukhanya kwalumhlaba. 10Kodwa uba umuntu ehamba ebusuku, uyakhubeka, ngoba ukukhanya kakukho kuye. 11Wakhuluma lokhu; wasesithi kibo: Umngane wethu uLazaro uselele, kodwa ngiyahamba ukuba ngimvuse. 12Abafundi bakhe basebesithi kuye: Nkosi, uba eselele, uzakusila. 13Kodwa uJesu wayekhuluma ngokufa kwakhe, kodwa bona babesithi ukhuluma ngokulala ubuthongo. 14Ngakho uJesu wasebatshela ngokucacileyo, wathi: ULazaro usefile; 15ngenxa yenu ngiyathokoza ukuthi bengingekho lapho, ukuze likholwe; kodwa asiye kuye. 16UTomasi othiwa liPhahla wathi kwabanye abafundi: Asihambeni lathi, ukuze sife kanye laye.
17Kwathi esefika uJesu, wafumana uLazaro eselensuku ezine elibeni. 18IBethani yayiseduze leJerusalema, amakhilomitha amathathu. 19Abanengi kubaJuda babefikile kuMatha loMariya ukuba babakhalele ngomnewabo. 20Ngakho uMatha esezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza, wayakumhlangabeza, kodwa uMariya wahlala endlini. 21UMatha wasesithi kuJesu: Nkosi, aluba ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngakafanga; 22lakhathesi ngiyazi ukuthi loba kuyini ongakucela kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uzakukunika khona. 23UJesu wathi kuye: Umnewenu uzakuvuka. 24UMatha wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uzakuvuka ekuvukeni ngosuku lokucina. 25UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyikuvuka lokuphila; okholwa kimi, loba esefile, uzakuphila. 26Lalowo ophilayo, ekholwa kimi, kasayikufa lanini. Uyakukholwa lokhu na? 27Wathi kuye: Yebo Nkosi, ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, obezakuza emhlabeni. 28Esetshilo lokhu uMatha wasuka waya kudadewabo uMariya, wathi ngensitha: UMfundisi ulapha, uyakubiza. 29Yena esezwile lokhu wasuka masinyane, waya kuye. 30UJesu wayengakafiki emzini, kodwa wayesekuleyondawo lapho uMatha amhlangabeza khona. 31AbaJuda ababesendlini laye bemkhalela, bebona uMariya esuka masinyane ephuma, bamlandela, besithi: Uya elibeni ukuba akhale khona. 32Wathi uMariya esefike lapho uJesu akhona, embona, wawa ngasenyaweni zakhe, esithi: Nkosi, uba ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngakafanga. 33Kwathi embona ekhala, labaJuda abafika laye bekhala, wabubula emoyeni, wakhathazeka; 34wathi: Limbeke ngaphi na? Bathi kuye: Nkosi, woza ubone. 35UJesu wakhala inyembezi. 36Ngakhoke abaJuda bathi: Khangelani ukumthanda kwakhe okungaka. 37Kodwa abanye babo bathi: Lo owavula amehlo esiphofu ubengekwenze yini ukuba lowomuntu angafi na? 38Ngakhoke uJesu, ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe, wafika elibeni. Lalilubhalu, kukhona ilitshe emlonyeni walo. 39UJesu wathi: Susani ilitshe. UMatha udadewabo wofileyo wathi kuye: Nkosi, usenuka; ngoba uselensuku ezine efile. 40UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitshongo yini kuwe ukuthi: Uba ukholwa, uzakubona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu na? 41Balisusake ilitshe. Khona uJesu waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wathi: Baba, ngiyakubonga ngoba ungizwile. 42Mina bengisazi ukuthi uyangizwa njalo, kodwa ngenxa yexuku elingiphahlileyo ngitshilo lokhu, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi ungithumile wena. 43Esetshilo lokhu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Lazaro, phuma. 44Waphuma ofileyo ebotshiwe izandla lenyawo ngamalembu, lobuso bakhe bugoqelwe ngelembu. UJesu wathi kubo: Mthukululeni, limyekele ahambe.
Umphakathi uquma ukumbulala uJesu
(Mat 26:1–5; Mark 14:1–2; Luka 22:1–2)
45Khonake abanengi kubaJuda ababeze kuMariya bebona akwenzileyo, bakholwa kuye. 46Kodwa abanye babo baya kubaFarisi, babatshela akwenzileyo uJesu.
47Ngakho abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babiza umphakathi, bathi: Sizakwenza njani na? Ngoba umuntu lo wenza izibonakaliso ezinengi; 48uba simyekela njalo, bonke bazakukholwa kuye; amaRoma azakuza achithe lindawo lesizwe sakithi. 49Kodwa omunye wabo, uKayafasi, owayengumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, wathi kubo: Kalazi lutho lina; 50futhi kalinakani ukuthi kulilungele ukuba umuntu oyedwa afele abantu, ukuze isizwe sonke singabhubhi. 51Kazitsholongo lokhu ngokwakhe, kodwa engumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka wazisela ukuthi uJesu uzakufela isizwe; 52angafeli isizwe kuphela, kodwa abuthele ndawonye abantwana bakaNkulunkulu abahlakazekileyo, babe munye. 53Ngakho kusukela kulolosuku benza icebo ukuba bambulale.
54Ngakho uJesu kabesahamba obala phakathi kwabaJuda, kodwa wasuka lapho, waya elizweni eliseduze lenkangala emzini othiwa iEfrayimi; wahlala khona labafundi bakhe.
55Laselisondele iPhasika labaJuda. Abantu abanengi bakhuphukela eJerusalema bevela emaphandleni lingakafiki iPhasika ukuze bazihlambulule. 56Babemfuna uJesu, bebuzana bemi ethempelini, besithi: Lithini na? Kayikuza impela emkhosini na? 57Abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babekhuphe umlayo wokuthi uba ekhona owaziyo lapho akhona, ababikele ukuze bambambe.
