UMarko 15 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

15 ¹Kuthe kwakusa, ababingeleli abakhulu, namadoda amakhulu, nababhali, nentlanganiso yamatyala iphelele, bacebisana, bamkhonkxa uYesu, bamrholela, bamnikela kuPilato.

²Wambuza uPilato wathi: “Wena unguKumkani wamaYuda na?” Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Utsho wena.”

³Babemmangalela ababingeleli abakhulu ngezinto ezininzi. ⁴Waphinda ke uPilato wambuza wathi: “Akuphenduli na? Khangela ukuba zingakanani na izinto abakumangalela ngazo.”

⁵Kodwa uYesu akaba saphendula nto, waza wamangaliswa uPilato.

⁶Ke kaloku ngomthendeleko, uPilato wayebakhululela ibanjwa elinye, nabani na abamcelayo. ⁷Kwaye kukho indoda egama linguBharabhas, ikhonkxelwe kunye nabavukeli ababulele ngexesha lemvukelo. ⁸Isihlwele senyuka, saqala ukucela kuPilato ukuba abenzele oko wayekwenza. ⁹Waphendula uPilato wathi: “Nithanda na ukuba ndinikhululele uKumkani wamaYuda?” ¹⁰kuba wayesazi ukuba kungenxa yomona le nto ababingeleli abakhulu bebemnikele ngayo. ¹¹Kodwa ababingeleli abakhulu basixhokonxa isihlwele, ukuze kunokuba abakhululele uBharabhas endaweni yakhe. ¹²Waphinda wababuza uPilato wathi: “Nithanda ukuba ndenze ntoni na ngalo nithi nguKumkani wamaYuda?”

¹³“Mbethelele emnqamlezweni!” batsho bekhwaza.

¹⁴Wabuza uPilato wathi: “Yini na? Enze bubi buni na?” Kodwa bakhala ngakumbi, besithi: “Mbethelele emnqamlezweni!”

¹⁵Efuna ukwanelisa isihlwele, uPilato wabakhululela uBharabhas. Wamtyakatya uYesu, wamnikela ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni.

Amasoldati Adlala ngoKumkani

¹⁶Amasoldati amrholela ngaphakathi ebhotweni (indlu karhuluneli), abizela ndawonye lonke iqela lamasoldati. ¹⁷Amvathisa ingubo emfusa, aluka isithsaba sameva, asibeka phezu kwakhe. ¹⁸Aqala ukumbulisa, esithi: “Aa, Kumkani wamaYuda!” ¹⁹Ambetha intloko ngentonga, amtshicela, aguqa ngamadolo emqubudela ngenkohliso. ²⁰Akuba edlala ngaye, amhluba ingubo emfusa, amvathisa iingubo zakhe, aza amkhupha ngaphandle ukuze amethelele emnqamlezweni.

UNyana Ubethelelwa Emnqamlezweni

²¹Anyanzela umntu owayedlula evela emaphandleni, uSimon waseKirene, uyise ka-Aleksandire noRufo, ukuba athwale umnqamlezo wakhe. ²²Amsa uYesu endaweni ekuthiwa yiGolgotha (oko kukuthi iNdawo yoKakayi). ²³Amnika iwayini exutywe nemore, kodwa akayithabatha.

²⁴Ambethelela emnqamlezweni. Abelana ngeengubo zakhe phakathi kwawo, esenza amaqashiso ngokuba ngamnye aya kuzuza ntoni. ²⁵Kwakulilixa lesithathu kusasa xa ambethelela emnqamlezweni. ²⁶Umbhalo wesityholo awayetyholwa ngaso wawusithi: UKUMKANI WAMAYUDA. ²⁷Abethelela kunye naye abavukeli ababini emnqamlezweni, omnye ngasekunene kwakhe, omnye ngasekhohlo. ^a a v27 Imibhalo-ngqangi emidala ayinandinyana yama-28 apha; iikopi zamva ongeza, zithi: “Lazaliseka iziBhalo elithi, ‘Wabalelwa ndawonye nabangenamthetho.’”

²⁹Abo babedlula bamnyelisa, behlunguzela iintloko zabo, besithi: “Ha! Wena udiliza itempile uze uyakhe ngeentsuku ezintathu, ³⁰zisindise, wehle emnqamlezweni!”

³¹Ngokunjalo nababingeleli abakhulu nababhali bedlala ngaye phakathi kwabo, besithi: “Wasindisa abanye; yena akanako ukuzisindisa. ³²Makehle ngoku emnqamlezweni uKrestu, uKumkani kaSirayeli, ukuze sibone sikholwe.” Nabo babebethelelwe emnqamlezweni kunye naye bamngcikiva.

UNyana kaBawo Uphuma Umphefumlo

³³Kwathi emini enkulu, kwabakho ubumnyama phezu kwelizwe lonke, kwada kwaba lilixa lesithathu emva kwemini.

³⁴Ngelixa lesithathu emva kwemini uYesu wadanduluka ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Eloyi, Eloyi, lema sabhakathani?” oko kukuthi: “Thixo wam, Thixo wam, undilahleleni na?”

³⁵Bathi bakuva oku abanye kwabo babemi ngakufuphi, bathi: “Khanive, ubiza uEliya.”

³⁶Wagidima omnye, wazalisa isiponji ngewayini emuncu, wayibeka engcongolweni, wamseza. Wathi: “Myekeni, makhe sibone ukuba uEliya uza kumthula na.”

³⁷UYesu wakhala ngezwi elikhulu, waphuma umphefumlo. ³⁸Waza umkhusane wetempile wakrazuka kubini, uthabathela phezulu uye ezantsi. ³⁹Umphathi-khulu owayejongene noYesu, akubona indlela awaphuma ngayo umphefumlo, wathi: “Inene lo mntu ebenguNyana kaThixo.”

⁴⁰Kwakukho nabafazi ababebukele bemi kude, phakathi kwabo kukho uMariya waseMagadala, noMariya unina kaYakobi omncinane noYose, noSalome. ⁴¹Aba bafazi babemlandela esekwelaseGalili, bemlungiselela; babekhona nabanye abaninzi ababenyuke naye besiya eYerusalem.

Ukungcwatywa Engcwabeni

⁴²Sekuhlwile, njengokuba yaba yiMini yoLungiselelo—usuku olundulela isabatha. ⁴³UYosefu waseArimati, indoda ebalulekileyo yentlanganiso yamatyala, eyayilinde yona ngokwayo ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu, wagxalathelana waya kuPilato, wacela umzimba kaYesu. ⁴⁴Wamangaliswa uPilato kukuba sele efile; wabiza umphathi-khulu, wambuza ukuba uYesu wayesefile ixesha elide na. ⁴⁵Akuba ekwazi oko kumphathi-khulu, wawunika uYosefu umzimba. ⁴⁶UYosefu wathenga ilinen, wawuthula umzimba, wawusongela ngelinen, waza wawubeka engcwabeni elikrolwe elulwalweni. Wandula ke waqengqa ilitye lasemnyango wengcwaba. ⁴⁷UMariya waseMagadala noMariya unina kaYose babona apho wabekwa khona.
