UMarko 14 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

14 ¹Kwiintsuku ezimbini phambi kwepasika nezonka ezingenagwele, ababingeleli abakhulu nababhali babefuna indlela yokuba bambambe uYesu ngobuqhophololo, ukuze bambulale. ²Kuba babesithi: “Kungabi semthendelekweni, hleze baphakame abantu.”

³Xa wayeseBhetani, endlwini kaSimon owayeneqhenqa, ehleli esithebeni, kweza umfazi ephethe ihlala lelabhastile linamafutha enadi acocekileyo, axabiso likhulu. Waqhekeza ihlala, wawagalela phezu kwentloko yakhe. ⁴Babekhona ke abathile abathetha bodwa benengqumbo, besithi: “Yini na ukuba la mafutha achithwe ngolo hlobo? ⁵Kuba la mafutha ebenokuthengiswa ngaphezu kweedenariyo ezingamakhulu amathathu, imali inikwe amahlwempu.” Bamkhalimela ke.

⁶Kodwa uYesu wathi: “Myekeni. Yini na ukuba nimxakanise? Undenzele into entle. ⁷Kuba amahlwempu nihleli ninawo, nokuba niwenze okuhle kubo nanini; kodwa mna aniyi kuhlala ninam. ⁸Wenze oko anako; umthambise kwangaphambili umzimba wam ukuba ungcwatywe. ⁹Inene, ndithi kuni, naphi na apho zivakaliswa khona iindaba ezilungileyo ehlabathini liphela, kuya kuxelwa noko akwenzileyo, kube sisikhumbuzo ngaye.”

¹⁰Waza uYuda Sikariyoti, omnye wabalishumi elinababini, waya kubabingeleli abakhulu ukuba abanikele uYesu. ¹¹Beva oku, bavuya, bamthembisa imali. Waza wamana efuna ithuba lokumnikela uYesu.

Abafundi Balungisa Ipasika

¹²Ngosuku lokuqala lwezonka ezingenagwele, xa babebinga imvana yepasika, abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: “Ufuna siye kulungisa phi na ukuze udle ipasika?”

¹³Wathuma ababini kubafundi bakhe, esithi: “Yiyani edolophini; niya kuhlangatyezwa ngumntu ethwele ingqayi yamanzi. Mlandeleni, ¹⁴naphi na apho angena khona, yitshoni kumninindlu: ‘UMfundisi uthi: Liphi na igumbi lam labahambi, endingadlela kulo ipasika kunye nabafundi bam?’ ¹⁵Yena wonibonisa igumbi eliphezulu elikhulu, elandlelweyo nelilungisiweyo; silungiseleleni apho ke.”

¹⁶Baphuma ke abafundi, baya edolophini, bafumana kunjengoko ebetshilo kubo, bayilungisa ipasika.

¹⁷Kwathi kwakuhlwa, wafika uYesu nabalishumi elinababini.

¹⁸Xa babehleli besidla, uYesu wathi: “Inene, ndithi kuni, omnye kuni uya kundingcatsha, lowo usidla nam.”

¹⁹Baqala ukuba buhlungu, bathi kuye ngamnye: “Ingaba ndim na?”

²⁰Wathi kubo: “Ngomnye kwabalishumi elinababini, lowo osithe nkxu nam isonka esityeni. ²¹UNyana woLuntu uyemka njengoko zazitshilo izibhalo ngaye, kodwa yeha kuloo mntu ongcatsha uNyana woLuntu! Bekuya kuba ngcono kuye ukuba ebengazalwanga.”

²²Xa babesidla, wathabatha isonka, wasisikelela, waqhekeza, wabanika, wathi: “Thabathani; ngumzimba wam lo.”

²³Wathabatha indebe, wabulela, wabanika, baza basela kuyo bonke.

²⁴Wathi kubo: “Ligazi lam eli lomnqophiso, eliphalala ngenxa yabaninzi. ²⁵Inene, ndithi kuni, andiyi kuphinda ndisele iwayini, ide ifike loo mini endiya kuyisela ngayo intsha ebukumkanini bukaBawo wethu.” ^a a v25 Ubukumkani uYesu awezela ukubuzisa kukulawula kukaBawo wethu ngokwakhe — ikhaya losapho alilungiselela abantwana bakhe.

²⁶Bathe bakuba bevumile ingoma, bemka besiya eNtabeni yemiNquma.

UYesu Uxela Kwangaphambili Ukukhanyelwa NguPetros

²⁷UYesu wathi kubo: “Nonke niya kukhubeka, kuba kubhaliwe ukuthi: ‘Ndiya kumbetha umalusi, zichithakale izimvu.’ ²⁸Kodwa emva kokuvuka kwam, ndiya kunandulela ukuya eGalili.”

²⁹UPetros wathi kuye: “Nokuba bonke bawa, mna andiyi kuwa.”

³⁰UYesu wathi kuye: “Inene, ndithi kuwe, namhla, kobu busuku, phambi kokuba inkuku ilile kabini, uya kundikhanyela izihlandlo ezithathu.”

³¹Kodwa wona eqinisekisa, esithi: “Nokuba kufuneka ndife nawe, andisayi kuze ndikukhanyele.” Batsho ngokunjalo bonke.

UNyana Uzinikela KuBawo

³²Bafika kwindawo ekuthiwa yiGetsemane, waza wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Hlalani phantsi apha, logama ndisathandaza.”

³³Wathabatha uPetros, noYakobi, noYohane, waza waqala ukuva imbandezelo enkulu nentlungu.

³⁴Wathi kubo: “Umphefumlo wam ucuthekile kakhulu bubuhlungu, kude kuse ekufeni. Hlalani apha, nilinde.”

³⁵Wathi akuhamba kancinane ngaphambili, wawa phantsi, wathandaza ukuba, ukuba kunako ukwenzeka, eli lixa lidlule kuye.

³⁶Wathi: “Abba, Bawo, zonke izinto zinokwenzeka kuwe. Yisuse le ndebe kum—kodwa makube kukuthanda kwakho, kungabi kokuthanda kwam.” ^b b v36 Igama elithi “Abba” ligama lesondelelwano, lokuthemba komntwana, awayelisebenzisa uYesu ngoBawo wethu. UPawulos usixelela ukuba uBawo wethu unika lo Moya ukhalayo ngokufanayo kuwo onke umntwana obuyiselweyo (KwabaseRoma 8:15; KumaGalati 4:6).

³⁷Wabuya, wabafumana belele, waza wathi kuPetros: “Simon, ulele na? Ube ungenako na ukulinda nam nelixa linye? ³⁸Lindani nithandaze, ukuze ningangeni ekulingweni. Umoya wona unentumekelelo, kodwa yona inyama ithambile.”

³⁹Waza wabuya wemka, wathandaza, ewathetha kwaloo mazwi. ⁴⁰Wabuya wabafumana belele, amehlo abo enzima, bengayazi into yokumphendula.

⁴¹Weza okwesithathu, wathi: “Nisalele niphumle na? Kwanele—lifikile ilixa. Yabonani, uNyana woLuntu unikelwa ezandleni zaboni. ⁴²Vukani, masihambe; yabonani, nanku lowo undingcatshayo.”

UYesu Unikelwa Kuboni

⁴³Esathetha, kwafika uYuda, omnye weshumi elinababini, enendimbane inamakrele neentonga, ivela kubabingeleli abakhulu, nababhali, namadoda amakhulu. ⁴⁴Lowo wayemngcatsha wayebanike umqondiso, esithi: “Endithe ndamanga, nguye lowo; mbambeni, nimrhole ngokuqinileyo.” ⁴⁵Wafika kwaoko kuYesu, wathi: “Rabhi!” wamanga. ⁴⁶Basuka bambeka izandla, bambamba. ⁴⁷Omnye kwabo babemi khona warhola ikrele lakhe, wabetha umkhonzi wombingeleli omkhulu, wamsika indlebe yakhe.

⁴⁸Wathi uYesu kubo: “Niphumele ukuza kundibamba, ninamakrele neentonga, ngathi nize esihangeni? ⁴⁹Imihla ngemihla bendinani etempileni ndifundisa, anandibamba. Kodwa mazizaliseke izibhalo.”

⁵⁰Basuka bonke bamshiya, babaleka. ⁵¹Umfana othile wamlandela, ethe wambatha ingubo yelinen kuphela; bambamba umfana lowo, ⁵²kodwa wayishiya ingubo yelinen, wabaleka ehamba ze.

UYesu Phambi Kwentlanganiso Yamatyala

⁵³Bamrhola uYesu bamsa kumbingeleli omkhulu, kwahlanganisana bonke ababingeleli abakhulu, namadoda amakhulu, nababhali. ⁵⁴UPetros wayemlandele ekude, wada wangena kwintendelezo yombingeleli omkhulu, wahlala nabalindi, ezifudumeza emlilweni. ⁵⁵Ke ababingeleli abakhulu nentlanganiso yamatyala iphelele babefuna ubungqina ngoYesu, ukuze bambulale, bangabufumana. ⁵⁶Kuba baninzi ababengqina ubuxoki ngaye, kodwa ubungqina babo abuvumelananga. ⁵⁷Kwesuka abathile bema, bangqina ubuxoki ngaye, besithi: ⁵⁸“Sivile esithi: ‘Ndiya kuyidiliza le tempile yenziwe ngezandla, ndize ngeentsuku ezintathu ndakhe enye engenziwanga ngazandla.’” ⁵⁹Kodwa nakuyo le nto ubungqina babo abuvumelananga.

⁶⁰Waphakama umbingeleli omkhulu phakathi kwabo, wabuza uYesu, wathi: “Awunampendulo na? Yintoni na le nto la madoda ayingqinayo ngawe?” ⁶¹Wathi tu, akaphendula nto. Wabuya umbingeleli omkhulu wambuza wathi: “Unguye na uKrestu, uNyana waLowo Usikelelweyo?” ^c c v61 “Lowo Usikelelweyo” yindlela enentlonelo yamaYuda yokuthi “uThixo” bengalithethi ngokuthe ngqo igama lobuThixo.

⁶²Wathi uYesu: “NDINGUYE, niya kumbona uNyana woLuntu ehleli ngasekunene kukaSomandla, esiza namafu ezulu.” ^d d v62 UYesu uphendula umbingeleli omkhulu ngegama lobuThixo awalinika uMoses uBawo wethu etyholweni elivutha umlilo — ‘NDINGUYE’ (Eksodus 3:14). ISanhedrin yasiqonda kwangoko isibango sakhe, yamgweba ngokunyelisa (indinyana 64).

⁶³Waza umbingeleli omkhulu wazikrazula iingubo zakhe, wathi: “Sisawafunelani na amanye amangqina? ⁶⁴Nikuvile ukunyelisa kwakhe. Sithini na isigqibo senu?” Bamgweba bonke ukuba ufanelwe kukufa. ⁶⁵Abathile baqala ukumtshicela, bemgqubuthele ubuso bakhe, bemntlitha ngeenqindi, besithi kuye: “Profeta!” Baza abalindi bammonxoza.

UPetros Umkhanyela uNyana

⁶⁶UPetros esengezantsi entendelezweni, kweza esinye sezicakazana zombingeleli omkhulu, ⁶⁷sathi sakubona uPetros ezifudumeza, samkhangela sathi: “Nawe ubunaye uYesu waseNazarete.”

⁶⁸Kodwa wakhanyela: “Andazi, andiqondi into oyithethayo.” Waza waphuma waya esangweni, yalila inkuku. ^e e v68 Eminye imibhalo-ngqangi yakudala ayinawo amazwi athi ‘yalila inkuku.’ NguMarko kuphela obhala ukulila kabini (14:30), ngoko lo mgca ubalulekile ekulandeleni kwale ngxelo.

⁶⁹Isicakazana sambona, saphinda sathi kwabo babemi khona: “Lo mntu ngomnye wabo.” ⁷⁰Kodwa waphinda wakhanyela. Emva komzuzwana abo babemi khona baphinda bathi kuPetros: “Inene ungomnye wabo, kuba ungowaseGalili.” ⁷¹Waqala ukushwabula nokufunga, esithi: “Andimazi lo mntu nithetha ngaye.” ⁷²Kwathi kwangoko yalila inkuku okwesibini. Wawakhumbula uPetros amazwi kaYesu, athi: “Ingekalili kabini inkuku, uya kundikhanyela kathathu.” Waphelelwa, walila.
