Luka 22
1Kwase kusondela umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo othiwa iPhasika.
2Abapristi abakhulu nababhali bafuna ukuthi bangambulala kanjani; ngoba babesaba abantu.
3Khona uSathane wangena kuJuda othiwa u-Iskariyothe engowabayishumi nambili.
4Wasuka wahamba, wakhuluma nabapristi abakhulu nezinduna, ukuthi angamkhaphela kanjani kubo.
5Base bejabula, bavumelana naye ukumnika imali.
6Wavuma, wafuna ithuba elihle lokumkhaphela kubo singekho isixuku.
7Lwase lufika usuku lwesinkwa esingenamvubelo, okufanele kuhlatshwe ngalo iphasika.
8Wasethuma uPetro loJohane, esithi: Hambani lisilungisele iphasika, ukuze sidle.
9Bathi kuye: “Uthanda ukuba sikulungiselephi na?
10Wathi kubo: “Bhekani, seningena emzini, niyakuhlangana nomuntu ethwele imbiza yamanzi; mlandeleni ningene endlini angena kuyo.
11Niyakusho kumninindlu ukuthi: ‘Uthi uMfundisi kuwe: Iphi indlu yezihambi, lapho ngingadlela khona iphasika nabafundi bami, na?
12Yena uzakunikhombisa ikamelo elikhulu eliphezulu, elenziwe;
13Bahamba-ke bafumana kunjengokusho kwakhe kubo; balilungisa iphasika.
14Selifikile ihora, wahlala phansi, nabaphostoli abayishumi nambili kanye naye.
15Wathi kubo: “Nginxanele nokunxanela ukudla nani leli phasika ngingakahlupheki.
16Ngokuba ngithi kini: Angisayikuphinda ngiyidle, ize igcwaliseke embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
17Waseyithatha inkezo, wabonga, wathi: Thathani le, lihlukaniselane;
18Ngokuba ngithi kini: Angisayikuphuza okwesithelo somvini, uze ufike umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
19Wasethatha isinkwa, wabonga, wasihlephula, wabanika, esithi: Lokhu kungumzimba wami onikelwa lina; lokhu kwenzeni ukungikhumbula.
20Kanjalo nenkezo emva kokudla kwakusihlwa, ethi: Le ndebe iyisivumelwano esisha egazini lami elithululwa ngenxa yenu.
21Kodwa bhekani, isandla songikhaphelayo sinami etafuleni.
22Nempela iNdodana yomuntu iyahamba njengokumisiweyo, kepha maye kulowo muntu ekhashelwa ngaye!
23Base beqala ukubuzana bodwa ukuthi kungaba ngubani kubo ozakukwenza lokho.
24Kwase kuba khona nokuphikisana phakathi kwabo kokuthi ngubani kubo ongathiwa mkhulu.
25Wathi kubo: “Amakhosi abezizwe azenza amakhosi phezu kwazo; lalabo abanegunya phezu kwazo babizwa ngokuthi ngabasizi.
26Kepha aninjalo; kodwa omkhulu phakathi kwenu makabe njengomncinyane; futhi oyinhloko makabe njengokhonzayo.
27Ngokuba yimuphi omkhulu, ohlezi ekudleni noma okhonzayo? Akusiye ohlezi ekudleni na? kodwa mina ngiphakathi kwenu njengokhonzayo.
28Nina ningabo abaye bahlala nami ekulingweni kwami.
29Nami nginimisela umbuso, njengalokho uBaba engimisele wona;
30ukuze nidle, niphuze etafuleni lami embusweni wami, nihlale ezihlalweni zobukhosi, nahlulele izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli.
31INkosi yasisithi: Simoni, Simoni, khangela, uSathane unifunile, ukuze anihlunge njengokolweni;
32Kepha mina ngikukhulekele ukuba ukukholwa kwakho kungapheli; wena-ke, nxa usuphendukile, uqinise abafowenu.
33Wathi kuye: “Nkosi, sengilungele ukuya nawe nasetilongweni nasekufeni.
34Wathi: “Ngiyakutshela, Petru, iqhude aliyikukhala namuhla, ungakaphiki kathathu ukuthi uyangazi.
35Wathi kubo: “Mhla nginithuma ningenasikhwama, nasikhwama, nazicathulo, naswela utho na? Basebesithi: Lutho.
36Wasesithi kubo: Kodwa khathesi lowo olomxhaka kawuthathe, njalo lesikhwama sakhe;
37Ngokuba ngithi kini: Lokhu okulotshiweyo kusamelwe kufezeka kimi, kokuthi: Wabalwa kanye nezelelesi, ngokuba okuqondene nami kunesiphelo.
38Bathi: “Nkosi, bheka, nazi izinkemba ezimbili. Wasesithi kubo: Kwanele.
39Wasephuma, waya eNtabeni Yeminqumo njengokwejwayela; labafundi bakhe bamlandela.
40Esefikile kuleyo ndawo wathi kubo: “Khulekani ukuba ningangeni ekulingweni.
41Yena wahlehla kubo okungaba yibanga lokuphonswa kwetshe, waguqa ngamadolo, wakhuleka.
42Ethi: “Baba, uma uthanda, susa lesisitsha kimi;
43Kwabonakala kuye ingelosi ivela ezulwini imqinisa.
44Esosizini olunzima wakhuleka eqinisela, izithukuthuku zakhe zaba njengamathonsi egazi, aconsela emhlabathini.
45Wasukuma ekukhulekeni, weza kubafundi bakhe, wabafica belele ngosizi.
46Wathi kubo: “Nilaleleni na? sukumani nikhuleke, ukuze ningangeni ekulingweni.
47Esakhuluma, bheka, isixuku, naye othiwa uJuda, omunye wabayishumi nambili, wayehamba phambi kwabo, wasondela kuJesu ukumanga.
48Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Judasi, uthengisa iNdodana yomuntu ngokuyanga?
49Labo ababemphahlile bebona okuzakwenzeka, bathi kuye: Nkosi, sigadle ngenkemba yini?
50Omunye wabo wayigawula inceku yompristi omkhulu, wayinquma indlebe yokunene.
51UJesu waphendula wathi: “Musani; Wathinta indlebe yakhe, wamphulukisa.
52UJesu wayesethi kubapristi abakhulu nezinduna zethempeli namalunga ababeze kuye: “Niphume niphethe izinkemba nezinduku kungathi nize kumphangi na?
53Benginani imihla ngemihla ethempelini, anelulanga izandla kimi, kepha lesi kuyisikhathi senu, namandla obumnyama.
54Base bemthatha, bamhola, bamusa endlini yompristi omkhulu. UPetru walandela ekude.
55Sebebasile umlilo phakathi kwegceke, sebehlezi phansi ndawonye, uPetru wahlala phakathi kwabo.
56Kepha incekukazi ethile imbona ehlezi emlilweni, yambheka, yathi: “Lona naye ube naye.
57Wamphika wathi: “Mame, angimazi.
58Kwathi emva kwesikhatshana omunye wambona wathi: Lawe ungowabo. UPetro wasesithi: Ndoda, kangisuye.
59Kwathi emva kwehora elilodwa omunye waqinisa, wathi: “Nempela nalo ube naye, ngokuba ungowaseGalile.
60UPetro wasesithi: Ndoda, kangikwazi okutshoyo. Masinyane, esakhuluma, iqhude lakhala.
61INkosi yaphenduka, yambheka uPetru. UPetro wasekhumbula ilizwi leNkosi, ukuthi itshilo kuye ukuthi: Iqhude lingakakhali, uzangiphika kathathu.
62Waphumela phandle uPetru, wakhala kamunyu.
63Amadoda abebambe uJesu amklolodela, amshaya.
64Esembozile, amshaya ebusweni, ambuza, athi: “Profetha; ngubani okushayileyo na?
65Nezinye izinto eziningi zamhlambalaza.
66Kwathi sekusile, kwabuthana amalunga esizwe nabapristi abakhulu nababhali, bamyisa emphakathini wabo, bathi:
67Wena unguKristu na? Sitshele. Wathi kubo: “Uma nginitshela, anisoze nakholwa;
68Futhi noma nginibuza, aniyikungiphendula, futhi aniyikungikhulula.
69Kusukela manje iNdodana yomuntu izakuhlala ngakwesokunene samandla kaNkulunkulu.
70Base bethi bonke: “Pho, uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu na? Wathi kubo: “Nina nisho ukuthi nginguye.
71Bathi: “Sisabufunelani ubufakazi na? ngoba thina ngokwethu sizwile ngomlomo wakhe.
