2 besithi, Siqinisekile ukuba uYesu ungunyana kaYosefu, umchweli, umhlaba ozelwe nguMariya, nokuba uzibiza ngokuba unguNyana kaThixo, ungukumkani; kwaye akuphelelanga apho, kodwa azama ukuchithwa kwesabatha, nemithetho yoobawo bethu.

3 Waphendula uPilato wathi; Yintoni na ayibhengezayo? Yintoni na le afuna ukuyichitha?

4 Aza athi kuye amaYuda, Thina sinomthetho ongalelanga ukuphilisa abantu ngesabatha; kodwa ngaloo mini uphilisa iziqhwala nezithulu, abanedumbe, iimfama, abaneqhenqa, nabaneedemon, ngaloo mini ngeendlela ezingendawo.

5 Waphendula uPilato wathi, Angáthini na ke ukwenza le nto ngeendlela ezingendawo? Zaphendula ke zathi, Uligqila, uzikhupha iidemon ngomphathi weedemon; zize ngokunjalo zonke izinto zithotyelwe phantsi kwakhe.

6 Wathi ke uPilato, Ukukhupha iidemon akubukeke kube ngumsebenzi womoya ongcolileyo, kuphuma emandleni kaThixo.

7 Aphendula ke amaYuda kuPilato, esithi, Siyakukhunga wena ophakamileyo, ukuba umbize phambi kwesihlalo sakho sokugweba, umve ngokwakho.

8 Waza uPilato wabiza umthunywa, wathi kuye, Woziswa ngantoni na uKristu apha?

9 Waphuma ke umthunywa lowo, emazi uKristu, waqubuda kuye; Wayitwabulula emhlabeni ingubo abeyibambe ngesandla, wathi, Nkosi, hamba phezu kwayo, ungene; ngokuba irhuluneli iyakubiza.

10 Ke kaloku amaYuda, akuyibona into ayenzileyo umthunywa lowo, athetha ngaye kuPilato, athi, Ibiyini na ukuba ungamniki ubizo lwakhe ngeqhiya, nokuba ungamxeleli sithunywa sezulu? waqubuda kuye, wayitwabulula ingubo leyo abeyibambe ngesandla sakhe emhlabeni phambi kwakhe, wathi kuye, Nkosi, irhuluneli iyakubiza.

11 Wasibiza ke uPilato isithunywa eso, wathi, Yini na ukuba wenjenje?

12 Saphendula ke isithunywa, sathi, Ekususeni kwakho eYerusalem, ndisiya kuAlesandire, ndambona uYesu ehleli e-esileni ngokomfanekiso omncinane; 13 Bambi ke bazandlala iingubo zabo endleleni, besithi, Sisindise, wena usemazulwini; Makabongwe lowo uzayo egameni leNkosi.

14 Ankqangaza amaYuda ngakumthunywa lowo, athi, Oonyana bamaHebhere bathetha ngentetho yesiHebhere; ube utheni na wena, mGrike ukusiqonda isiHebhere?

15 Waphendula umthunywa wathi kuwo, Ndabuza komnye umYuda, ndathi, Yintoni na le nto badandulukayo ngayo abantwana ngesiHebhere?

16 Wandicacisela, esithi, badanduluka bathi, Hosana, oko kukuthi, ngentetho evakalayo, Nkosi, ndisindise; okanye, Yehova, sindisa.

17 Wathi ke uPilato kubo, Yini na ukuba nina ngokwenu niwangqinele amazwi athethwe ngabantwana, nangokuthi cwaka kwenu? Uphazame ngantoni umthunywa lowo? Bathi cwaka ke.

18 Yathi ke irhuluneli kwisithunywa eso, Phuma uye uzame nokuba sekutheni na ukumngenisa.

19 Waphuma umthunywa, wenza njengokwangaphambili; Wathi, Nkosi, ngena, ngokuba irhuluneli iyakubiza.

20 Ke kaloku, akubon’ ukuba uYesu uyangena ngebhanile, bephethe iibhanile, zaqubuda iintloko zazo, zaqubuda kuYesu.

21 Ayenkqangiyela ke amaYuda ukuyichasa loo miqondiso.

22 Uthe ke uPilato kumaYuda, Ndiyazi ukuba aninanzanga, ukuba amanqwanqwa aphantsi aqubude, aqubude kuYesu; Yini na ke ukuba nizithethele ngemiqondiso, ngathi bayaqubuda baqubuda?

23 Baphendula bathi kuPilato, Siyibonile imiqondiso leyo, iqubuda, inqula uYesu.

24 Yayibizela ke irhuluneli imifanekiselo, yathi kubo, Yini na ukuba nenjenje?

25 Ithe ke imiqondiso kuPilato, Thina sonke singamahedeni, sinqula izithixo ezindlwini; yaye sifanele sicinge nantoni na ngokumnqula?

Besiphethe imilinganiselo kuphela ezandleni zethu, baqubuda baqubuda kuye.

26 Wathi ke uPilato kubaphathi bendlu yesikhungu, Zinyuleleni nina amadoda anobukroti, niwabambe abambe amabhanile, sibone ukuba aya kugoba na.

27 Afuna ke amadoda amakhulu amaYuda alishumi elinamabini kumadoda amakhulu, anamandla, aluqilima, alumisa iimbadada, ema phambi kwerhuluneli.

28 Wathi ke uPilato kwisithunywa eso, Mkhupheni uYesu, nithi mhlawumbi nimngenise. Baphuma ke uYesu, enesithunywa eso.

29 Wayibiza ke uPilato imifanekiselo leyo babeyithwele ngenxa engaphambili, wayifungela ukuba, ukuba ibingayithwalanga loo miqondiso, xa ethe wangena uYesu ngenxa engaphambili, wozinqumla iintloko zayo.

30 Yathi ke irhuluneli, makabuye angene.

31 Senza ke isithunywa eso, njengoko ebesenjenjalo ngenxa engaphambili, sambongoza uYesu kakhulu, ukuba athabathe ingubo yakhe enkulu, ahambe phezu kwayo; wahamba phezu kwayo, wangena.

32 Ke kaloku, akungena uYesu, zaqubuda iinqanawa njengakuqala, zaqubuda kuye.

ISAHLUKO 2 1 Uthe ke uPilato, akukubona oko, woyika, waphakama esihlalweni.

2 Ke kaloku, akubon' ukuba uza kuvuka, umfazi wakhe, emi mgama, wathumela kuye, esithi, Uze ungabi nakuthini kuloo mntu ulilungisa; ngokuba ndive ubunzima obukhulu ngaye ngombono ngobu busuku.

3 Akukuva oko amaYuda, athi kuPilato, Singatshongo yini na kuwe ukuthi, Uligqirha? Yabona, umphuphe umfazi wakho; 4 Embizile ngoko uPilato, wathi kuYesu, Uyivile na into abayingqinayo ngawe, ukanti akuphenduli?

5 Uphendule ke uYesu wathi, Ukuba bezingenakuthetha, ngebebengenakuthetha; ke ngenxa yokuba elowo unomyalelo ngolwimi lwakhe, wokuthetha okulungileyo nokubi, makakhangele kuye.

6 Aphendula ke amadoda amakhulu amaYuda, athi kuYesu, Sibheke ntoni na?

7 Siyakwazi ke oko kuqala ngawe, ukuba wazalwa ngohenyuzo; okwesibini, ngenxa yokuzalwa kwakho kwabulawa iintsana eBhetelehem; Okwesithathu ke, ukuba uyihlo nonyoko uMariya, basabele eYiputa, ngenxa yokuba bengabathembi abantu bakowabo.

8 Inxenye yakumaYuda, ebimi khona, yathetha kakuhle kakhulu, yathi, Asinakuthi yena wazalwa ngohenyuzo; kodwa siyazi ukuba unina uMariya wayegane uYosefu, ngoko ke akazalwanga ngaluhenyuzo.

9 Wathi ke uPilato kumaYuda, abemwisele umthetho wohenyuzo, ukuthi, Le ndawo yenu ayiyi kuba yinyani, ekubeni benithembisene ngowakho nje.

10 Bathetha ke ooAnas noKayafa kuPilato, besithi, Yonke le nkitha yabantu iyaziwa, idanduluka isithi, Uzelwe ngohenyuzo; Ke abo bamkhanyelayo ukuba uzelwe ngohenyuzo, ngamaguquka nabafundi bakhe.

11 Wabaphendula ke uPilato ooAnas noKayafa, wathi, Ngoobani na abangene ebuYudeni? Baphendula ke bona, bathi, Bangabahedeni bona, abathe baba ngamaYuda, bangaba ngabalandeli bakhe.

12 Baphendula ke ooElazare, noAsterius, noAntoniyo, noYakobi, noKarasi, noSamuweli, noIsake, noFinehasi, noKrispo, noAgripa, noAnas, noYuda, bathi, Thina asingabangeni ebuYudeni, singabantwana bamaYuda; sithetha inyaniso; waganwa.

13 Ephendule ke uPilato kumadoda alishumi elinamabini, abethetha oko, wathi kuwo, Mna ndinifungisa ubomi bukaKesare, ukuba nixele enyanisweni ukuba wazalwa ngohenyuzo, nokuba yinyaniso leyo eniyibalisayo nina.

14Baphendula ke bona kuPilato, besithi, Thina sinomthetho ekungafunekiyo ukuba sifunge ngawo, ngokuba kusisono bona; 15 Wathi ke ooAnas noKayafa kuPilato, Loo madoda alishumi elinababini akayi kukholwa ukuba siyamazi ukuba uzelwe ezelwe yintsha nje, nokuba ungowase amehlo, noko yena ezenza uNyana kaThixo, nokumkani; ekukholweni, ukuba siyangcangcazela ukuva.

16 Wabawisela ke umthetho uPilato, wabawisela umthetho wonke umntu, ngaphandle kwabalishumi elinababini, ababethe yena akazalwanga ngahenyuzo; 17Bamphendula bathi, Bacatshukiswa kukuba ephilisa ngesabatha.

Wathi ke uPilato, Angambulala na ngenxa yomsebenzi olungileyo?

Bathi kuye, Ewe, Nkosi.

ISAHLUKO 3 1 Equmbile ke uPilato, ezele ngumsindo, waphuma phandle kwenkundla, wathi kumaYuda, Ndingqinela ihlabathi liphela, ukuba andifumani tyala kuloo mntu.

2 Aphendula ke amaYuda kuPilato, esithi, Ukuba ebengenguye ongendawo, singe singamsanganga phambi kwakho.

3 Wathi uPilato kubo, Mthabatheni nina, nimvavanye ngomthetho wenu.

4 Ayesithi ngoko amaYuda, Akuvumelekile kuthi ukuba sibulale umntu.

5 Wathi ke uPilato kumaYuda, Umthetho ngoko uze ungabulali, ngowenu, kodwa asindim.

6 Wabuya wangena endlwini yerhuluneli, wambiza uYesu yedwa, wathi kuye, Wena unguye na uKumkani wamaYuda?

7 Waphendula uYesu wathi kuPilato, Uyithetha le nto iphuma kuwe, wayixelelwa ngamaYuda na amaYuda?

8 Waphendula uPilato wathi kuYesu, Mna ndingumYuda na? Lonke uhlanga nabaphathi bamaYuda bakunikele kum. Wenze ntoni na?

9 Waphendula uYesu wathi, Ubukumkani bam asibubo obeli hlabathi; ngoku ke ubukumkani bam asibobalapha.

10 Wathi ke uPilato, Hina ke, ungukumkani na wena? Waphendula uYesu wathi, Nawe uthi ndingukumkani; ndizalelwe oku; ndizele oku ehlabathini; ndizele oku, ukuze ndiyingqinele inyaniso; kwaye bonke abangabenyaniso bayaliva ilizwi lam.

11 Athi uPilato kuye, Yintoni na yona inyaniso?

12 Uthe ke uYesu, Inyaniso iphuma emazulwini.

13 Wathi ke uPilato, Ngenxa yoko, inyaniso ayikho emhlabeni.

14 Wathi uYesu kuPilato, Kholwa ukuba inyaniso isemhlabeni, phakathi kwabo bathi, banegunya lokugweba, bagwetywe ngenyaniso, bagwebe ngobulungisa.

ISAHLUKO 4 1 Wandula ke uPilato wamshiya uYesu endlwini yerhuluneli, waphuma waya kumaYuda, wathi, Andifumani tyala kuYesu.

2 Athi amaYuda kuye, Uthe ke, Ndinako ukuyichitha itempile kaThixo, ndibuye ndiyakhe ngeentsuku ezintathu.

3 Athi kubo uPilato, Injani na le tempile athetha ngayo?

4 Athi amaYuda kuye, Loo nto uSolomon wayeyakha iminyaka emashumi mane anamithandathu, wathi uya kutshabalalisa, akhe ngeentsuku ezintathu.

5 Wabuya wathi kubo uPilato, Andinatyala egazini laloo mntu; zikhangeleleni nina.

6 Athi amaYuda kuye, Igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwethu, naphezu kwabantwana bethu. Wawabiza ke uPilato amadoda amakhulu, nababhali, nababingeleli, nabaLevi, wathi kubo ngasese, Ize ningenjenjalo; Andifumananga nto esandleni sakho ngokuphilisa kwakhe imilwelwe, nangokwaphula isabatha, okulingene ukufa.

7 Baphendula ke ababingeleli nabaLevi, bathi kuPilato, Ehleli nje ubomi bukaKesare, ukuba ubani uthe wanyelisa, ufanelwe kukufa; ke yena lo unyelise uYehova.

8 Yabuya ngoko irhuluneli yawawisela umthetho amaYuda, ukuba aphume endlwini yerhuluneli; Ebizile ke uYesu, wathi kuye, Ndikwenzele ntoni na?

9 UYesu wamphendula wathi, Yenza njengoko kubhaliweyo.

10 Athi uPilato kuye, Kubhalwe njani na?

11 Athi uYesu kuye, UMoses nabaprofeti baprofeta ngeembandezelo, nangokuvuka kwam.

12 Akukuva oko amaYuda, acaphuka, athi kuPilato, Ungasathandi na ukuva ukunyelisa kwalo mntu?

13 Athi uPilato kubo, Ukuba la mazwi abonakala kuni enyelisa, mthabatheni, nimse enkundleni yenu, nimvavanye ngesiko lenu.

14 Aphendula ke amaYuda kuPilato, esithi, Umthetho wethu uthi, uya kwamkela imivumbo emashumi mathathu anesithoba; 15 Athi uPilato kubo, Ukuba elo lizwi lakhe liyanyelisa, nimcikide ngokomthetho wenu.

16 Athi amaYuda kuPilato, Umthetho wethu usimisela ukuba singabulali mntu; thina sinqwenela ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni, ngokuba efanelwe kukufa komnqamlezo.

17 Athi kubo uPilato, Akufanelekile ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni; 18 Ke kaloku, yakubon’ ukuba irhuluneli, ibakhangele abantu ababekhona, namaYuda, yabona into eninzi yamaYuda ilila; 19 Aphendula amadoda amakhulu amaYuda kuPilato, athi, Thina nendimbane yonke, size apha ngenjongo yokuba afe.

20 Athi uPilato kubo, Yini na ukuba afe?

ISAHLUKO 5 1 Kwema ke uNikodemo umYuda othile phambi kwerhuluneli, wathi, Ndiyakukhunga, mgwebi olilungisa, ukuba undibabale, ube ungakhe uthethe amazwi ambalwa.

2 Wathi uPilato kuye, Thetha.

3 Wathi uNikodemo, Ndithethe kumadoda amakhulu amaYuda, nababhali, nababingeleli, nabaLevi, nenkitha yonke yamaYuda, ebandleni lawo; Niza kuthini na ngale ndoda?

4 Ungumntu owenze imimangaliso emininzi eluncedo nezukileyo, enjengaleyo engazange yenziwe mntu emhlabeni ngaphambili, engasayi kuze asebenze. Mndulule, angamenzi nto imbi; ukuba uvela kuThixo, imimangaliso yakhe, (ukuphilisa kwakhe okungummangaliso) kuya kuqhubeka; ukuba ngaba bephuma ebantwini, zobhanga.

5 UMoses, ekuthunyweni kwakhe nguThixo eYiputa, wayenza imiqondiso uThixo abemwisele umthetho ngayo phambi koFaro, ukumkani waseYiputa; Ke kaloku, nakuba izazi zelo zwe, ooYanes noYambres, zazisenza ngobugqi bazo, zona imiqondiso leyo uMoses wayenzayo, aziba nako ukwenza konke awakwenzayo.

6 Yaye imiqondiso leyo yayiphume kuThixo, njengoko naziyo izazi, ababhali, baFarisi; kodwa abo bazenzayo batshabalele, kwanabo bonke abakholwayo kuzo.

7 Yindulule ngoku le ndoda; Ngokuba yona le miqondiso nimmangalela ngayo, ivela kuThixo; kwaye akafanelanga kukufa.

8 Athi ngoko amaYuda kuNikodemo, Ungumfundi wakhe na, uthetha ngokukholekileyo kuye?

9 Wathi uNikodemo kubo, Irhuluneli ingaba ngumfundi wayo na, ibe iyamthethela na? Ngaba uKesare akazange ambeke kweso sikhundla siphakamileyo?

10 Uthe ke amaYuda, akukuva oko, angcangcazela, amtshixizela amazinyo uNikodemo, athi kuye, Ungayamkela na imfundiso yakhe, ube nesabelo sakho ndawonye noKristu!

11 Waphendula uNikodemo wathi, Amen; Ndiya kwamkela imfundiso yakhe, neqashiso lam kunye naye, njengoko natshoyo.

12 Kwesuka ke omnye umYuda othile, wacela ukuba avumele irhuluneli ukuba ikhe imve amazwi ambalwa.

13 Yathi ke irhuluneli, Thetha ocinga ngako.

14 Wathi ke, Ndahlala iminyaka emashumi mathathu anesibhozo echibini lezimvu eYerusalem, ndisebenza nzima, ndingumlwelwe kakhulu, ndilinde umpiliso oluya kuhla ngesithunywa sezulu, esathi ngaxa lithile sawagxobhagxobha amanzi. ; lowo uthe wangena tanci emva kokugxojwagxojwa kwamanzi, ubephila nakusiphi na isifo abebanjwe siso.

15 UYesu endibona ndisifa nje, wathi kum, Uyafuna na ukuba uphile?

Ndathi ke mna, Nkosi, andinamntu wokuthi, xa athe agxojwagxojwa amanzi, andiphose echibini.

16 Wathi kum, Vuka, uthabathe ukhuko lwakho, uhambe. Ndiphile kwaoko, ndaluthabatha ukhuko lwam, ndahamba.

17 Athi ngoko amaYuda kuPilato, Nkosi, rhuluneli, mbuze ukuba ubengowuphi na umhla, awaphiliswa ngawo ebukhweni bakhe.

18 Waphendula ke lowo umlwelwe, wathi, Bekungesabatha.

19 Athi ke amaYuda kuPilato, Asitshongo yini na ukuthi, Wayebaphilisa ngesabatha, ezikhupha needemon ngomthetheli weedemon?

20 Kwaphuma omnye umYuda, wathi, Bendiyimfama, ndiva izandi, kodwa ndingaboni; Kuthe ke akuba edlula uYesu, ndeva kudlula isihlwele, ndabuza ukuba kukho ntoni na?

21 Bandixelela ukuba kudlula uYesu; ndadanduluka ndisithi, Yesu, nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba. Wema ngxi, wathi mandiziswe kuye. Wathi kum, Uthanda ntoni na?

22 Ndathi ke mna, Nkosi, ukuba ndibuye ndibone.

23 Sathi kum, Buya ubone; kwaoko ndabona, ndamlandela, ndivuya, ndibulela.

24 Kwaphuma nomnye umYuda, wathi, Bendineqhenqa; wandiphilisa ngelizwi lodwa, esithi, Ndiyathanda, hlambuluka; kwangoku ndahlambuluka eqhenqeni lam.

25 Kuvele kwaphuma omnye umYuda, wathi, Bendigwenxa; 26 Ke kaloku intokazi ethile egama linguVeronica yathi, Bendinethombo legazi iminyaka elishumi elinamibini, ndachukumisa umqukumbelo wengubo yakhe, lesuka kwangoko ithombo legazi lam.

27 Ayesithi ngoko amaYuda, Thina sinomthetho wokuba umfazi angavunyelwa, abe lingqina.

28 Ke kaloku, emva kwezinye izinto, wathi omnye umYuda, Ndambona uYesu eme emsithweni, enabafundi bakhe, kwaye kungekho wayini eKana yelaseGalili; 29 Yakuselwa yonke iwayini, wabayalela abakhonzi ukuba bazalise iingqayi zibe ntandathu zibe zilapho ngamanzi; bazizalisa zada zafika udini lwamanzi; wazisikelela, wawajika amanzi aba yiwayini, abantu bonke. wasela, emangalisiwe ngulo mmangaliso.

30 Kwema omnye umYuda, wathi, Ndambona uYesu efundisa endlwini yesikhungu eKapernahum; Kwaye kukho endlwini yesikhungu umntu othile onedemon. wadanduluka, esithi, Ndiyeke; Yintoni na enathi nawe, Yesu waseNazarete? Uze kusitshabalalisa na?

Ndiyazi ukuba wena ungoyiNgcwele kaThixo.

31 Wawukhalimela uYesu, esithi, Yithi tu, moyandini ungcolileyo, uphume emntwini lowo; waphuma kwaoko kuye, akamenzanga nto.

32 Ezi zinto zilandelayo wazithetha nomFarisi othile; Ndabona kukho isihlwele esikhulu esiza kuYesu sivela eGalili, nasekwelakwaYuda, nakunxweme lolwandle, nakumazwe amaninzi aseYordan, nemilwelwe emininzi isiza kuye, wabaphilisa bonke.

33 Ndeva oomoya abangcolileyo bebhomboloza, besithi, Wena unguye uNyana kaThixo. Waza uYesu waziyala ukuba zingamtyhili.

34 Emva koko wathi omnye ogama linguCentrio, wathi, Ndambona uYesu eKapernahum, ndambongoza ndisithi, Nkosi, umkhonzi wam ulele ekhaya, unedumbe.

35 Wathi uYesu kum, Ndoza ndisiphilise mna.

36 Ndathi ke mna, Nkosi, andikulingene ukuba ude ungene phantsi kophahla lwam; kodwa thetha ilizwi lodwa, sophiliswa umkhonzi wam.

37 Wathi ke uYesu kum, Hamba uhambe; makwenzeke kuwe njengoko ukholiwe. Saphiliswa kwangelo lixa umkhonzi wam.

38 Lathi elinye igosa, Bendinonyana eKapernahum, esele eza kufa; Ndakuva ke ukuba uYesu ufikile eGalili, ndaya kuye, ndambongoza ukuba ehle eze endlwini yam, amphilise unyana wam, kuba ebeza kubhubha.

39 Wathi kum, Hamba uhambe; uhleli unyana wakho.

40 Kwaye unyana wam waphiliswa ukusuka kwelo lixa.

41 Yaye ngaphandle kwazo kwakukho into eninzi yamaYuda, ekwangamadoda kwanabafazi, idanduluka isithi, Lo unguye uNyana kaThixo, ophilisa zonke izifo ngalo ilizwi lakhe, lowo ke zimthobeleyo iidemon.

42 Babesithi ngoko ke abathile kubo, La mandla akanakuphuma kuThixo, ingenguye uThixo.

43 Wathi ke uPilato kumaYuda, Kungani na ukuba iidemon zingabathobeli oogqirha benu?

44 Ithe ke inxenye kubo, Amandla okuthobela iindimoni akanakuphuma kuThixo.

45 Bathi ke abanye kuPilato, wamvusa uLazaro, emveni kokuba ebentsuku-ne engcwabeni.

46 Ikuvile ke oko irhuluneli, igubha, yathi kwindimbane yamaYuda, Kwenza ntoni na kuni ukuphalaza igazi elimsulwa?

ISAHLUKO 6 1 Ebizele ke kubo uPilato, ebizele ndawonye uNikodemo, namadoda alishumi elinantlanu, abebethe uYesu okunene akazalwanga mbulo, wathi kubo, Ndiya kuthini na, ekubeni kukho isiphithiphithi nje phakathi kwabantu?

2 Bathi ke bona kuye, Asazi; mabakhangele kwabaphakamisa ingxokozelo.

3 Wabuya ngoko uPilato wasibizela kuye isihlwele, wathi kubo, Niyazi ukuba ninesiko lokuba ndinikhululele umbanjwa abe mnye ngepasika; 4 Ndinaye umbanjwa owaziwayo, ongumbulali, ekuthiwa nguBharabhas, noYesu ekuthiwa nguKristu, endingafumani nanye into indilinga ukufa kuye. Nguwuphi na ke kubo enithanda ukuba ndinikhululele yena?

5 Bankqangaza bonke, besithi, Sikhululele uBharabhas.

6 Athi uPilato kubo, Ndimenzeni na ke uYesu ekuthiwa nguKristu?

7 Baphendula bonke bathi, Makabethelelwe emnqamlezweni.

8 Abuya adanduluke athi kuPilato, Akusihlobo sikaKesare na, ukuba uthe wamkhulula lo? kuba uxelile ukuba unguNyana kaThixo, nokumkani. Ngaba nifuna ukuba ngukumkani, angabi nguKhesare?

9 Wazaliswa ngumsindo uPilato, wathi kubo, Uhlanga lwakowenu lwahlala lusenza isidubedube; 10 Aphendula ke amaYuda, athi, Ngoobani na abo basisebenzelayo?

11 Waphendula uPilato wathi kubo, UThixo wenu, owanihlangulayo ebukhobokeni bulukhuni bamaYiputa, waniwela uLwandle oluBomvu, ngathi ngumhlaba owomileyo, wanondla entlango ngemana, nenyama yezagwityi, wanisa amanzi. eweni, wakunika umyalelo ophuma emazulwini; 12 Namphikisa ngeendlela zonke, nazicelela ithole elityhidiweyo, nalinqula, nabingelela kulo, wathi, Naba oothixo bakho, Sirayeli, abakukhuphileyo ezweni laseYiputa.

13 athe uThixo wakho watyekela ukukutshabalalisa; UMoses wanithethelela; weva uThixo wakho, wabuxolela ubugwenxa bakho.

14 Emveni koko naba noburhalarhume kubo, nanifuna ukubabulala abaprofeti benu, ooMoses noAron, ekusabela kwabo ententeni; nibe nihlala nimkrokrela uThixo nabaprofeti bakhe.

15 Esukile esihlalweni sakhe sokugweba, ubeya kuphuma; Ayenkqangaza ke amaYuda onke, esithi, Thina siyavuma ukuba uKesare ungukumkani, asinguye uYesu; 16 Ekubeni lo mntu akuba ezelwe, zeza kuye izazi, zamnika izipho; owathi, akuva uHerode, wakhathazeka kakhulu, wafuna ukumbulala.

17 Uthe ke uyise, akukwazi oko, wabalekela eYiputa noMariya, nonina. UHerode, akuva ukuba uzelwe, wafuna ukumbulala; wathumela ke wababulala bonke abantwana abaseBhetelehem, nakwimida yayo yonke, bethabathela kominyaka mibini bezelwe, nabangaphantsi.

18 Uthe ke uPilato, akuliva elo lizwi, woyika; Uthe ke, wathi cwaka phakathi kwesihlwele, saphithizela, wathi kuYesu, Unguye na ke uKumkani?

19 Aphendula ke onke amaYuda kuPilato, esithi, ingulowo uHerode abefuna ukumbulala.

20 Wathabatha ke amanzi uPilato, wahlamba izandla phambi kwabantu, wathi, Andinatyala egazini lalo mntu ulilungisa; zikhangeleleni nina.

21 Aphendula ke amaYuda athi, Igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwethu, naphezu kwabantwana bethu.

22 Waza uPilato wayalela ukuba uYesu makaziswe phambi kwakhe.

23 Uhlanga lwakowenu likuwisele umthetho wokuba uzenza ukumkani; ngoko ke, mna Pilato, ndikugwebela ukuba utywatyushwe ngokwemithetho yabalawuli bangaphambili; nokokuba ubotshwe kuqala, wandule ke uxhonywe emnqamlezweni, kuloo ndawo usubotshwe kuyo ngoku; kwanawe, izihange ezibini, ezingooDimas noGestasi.

ISAHLUKO 7 1 Waphuma ke uYesu ngaphandle entendelezweni, nezihange ezibini zinaye.

2 Athi akufika endaweni le kuthiwa yiGologota, amhluba iingubo zakhe, ambhinqa ilinen ecikizekileyo, ambeka isithsaba sameva entloko, amfaka ingcongolo esandleni.

3 Benjenjalo ke kwizihange ezibini, ezibe zibethelelwe naye eminqamlezweni, uDimas ngasekunene, noGestas ngasekhohlo kwakhe.

4 Wathi ke uYesu, Bawo, baxolele; Kuba abayazi into abayenzayo.

5 Babelana ngeengubo zakhe, benza amaqashiso ngesambatho sakhe.

6 Ngelo xesha abantu bemi khona, baye ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu amaYuda bedlala ngaye, besithi, Wabasindisa

abanye; makazisindise kaloku, ukuba unako; ukuba unguNyana kaThixo, makehle kalokunje emnqamlezweni.

7 Aza amasoldati edlala ngaye, ethabatha iviniga nenyongo, amnika ukuba asele, athi kuye, Ukuba wena unguye uKumkani wamaYuda, zisindise.

8 Longinus, ijoni elithile, lathabatha intshuntshe, lamhlaba ecaleni; kwaoko kwaphuma igazi namanzi.

9 Wawubhala ke uPilato umbhalo lowo emnqamlezweni, ngesiHebhere, nangesiGrike, nangesiGrike. Lo ngukumkani wamaYuda.

10 Ke kaloku, esinye sezihange ezibini, ezibe zibethelelwe emnqamlezweni noYesu, eligama linguGestas, sathi kuYesu, Ukuba unguye uKristu, zisindise, nathi usikhulule.

11 Laphendula ke isela, elibethelelwe emnqamlezweni ngasekunene kwakhe, eligama linguDimas, lamkhalimela lathi, Akumoyiki na wena uThixo, ogwetyiweyo nje? Ngokwenene sifumana ngokufanelekileyo nangobulungisa ukulunga kwezenzo zethu; lo Yesu ke enze bubi buni na?

12 Emveni kokuncwina kwakhe, wathi kuYesu, Uze undikhumbule, Nkosi, xa uthe weza usebukumkanini bakho.

13 Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Inene, ndithi kuwe, Namhlanje uya kuba nam eParadisi.

ISAHLUKO 8 1 Ke kaloku, kwakumalunga nelixa lesithandathu, kwaza kwakho ubumnyama phezu komhlaba uphela, kwada kwaba lilixa lesithoba.

2 Lakuba ke lisibekele ilanga, lasuka ikhuselo lengcwele lakrazuka, lithabathele phezulu lada lesa phantsi; namawa aqhekezwa, namangcwaba avuleka, nemizimba emininzi yabangcwele ababelele yavuka.

3 Ke kaloku, malunga nelixa lesithoba, wadanduluka uYesu ngezwi elikhulu, esithi, Yeha, lamazakatani? Oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, Thixo wam, Thixo wam, undishiye ngani na?

4 Emveni kwezi zinto, wathi uYesu, Bawo, ndiyawunikela ezandleni zakho umoya wam; Akuba etshilo, waphuma.

5 Uthe ke umthetheli-khulu, ebonile ukuba uYesu wenjenjalo ukudanduluka waphuma umphefumlo, wazukisa uThixo, wathi, Inyaniso, lo mntu ubelilungisa.

6 Bonke abantu ababemi khona bakhwankqiswa kakhulu ngumbono lowo. bathi, bakugqala oko kuhlileyo, bazibetha ezifubeni zabo, bandule ke babuyela emzini waseYerusalem.

7 Waya umthetheli-khulu kwirhuluneli, wayibikela konke okwenzekileyo.

8 Ezivile ke zonke ezo ndawo, waba buhlungu kakhulu; 9 Ewabizele ndawonye amaYuda, wathi kuwo, Niwubonile na umqondiso wokutshona kwelanga, nezinye izinto ezenzekayo, xa uYesu wayesifa?

10 Akukuva ke oko amaYuda, ayiphendula irhuluneli, athi, Ukutshona kwelanga kwenzeke ngokwesiko lalo.

11 Ke kaloku bonke ababemazi uKristu, babemele kude, kwanabafazi ababelandele uYesu kwakwelaseGalili, bezikhangela zonke ezi zinto.

12Kwabonakala kukho ndoda ithile yaseArimati, egama linguYosefu, eyayingumfundi kaYesu naye lowo, noko ingenguye ekuhleni, ngenxa yokoyika amaYuda, yeza kwirhuluneli, wayicela ukuba ivumele irhuluneli, ukuba iyithabathele kuye. umzimba kaYesu emnqamlezweni.

13 Yamvumela ke irhuluneli.

14 Weza ke uNikodemo ephethe umxube wemore nehaloti, omalunga nekhulu leeponti ubunzima; Bamthula ke uYesu emnqamlezweni, beneenyembezi, bambopha ngezisongelo zelinen, ndawonye nobulawu, ngokwesiko lokungcwaba kumaYuda.

15 Wambeka engcwabeni elitsha, abelakhileyo uYosefu, waqingqa eliweni, ekungazanga kubekwe bani kulo; baqengqela ilitye elikhulu emnyango wengcwaba.

ISAHLUKO SE-9 1 Akuva amaYuda angendawo, ukuba uYosefu ucengile, wawungcwaba umzimba kaYesu, afuna uNikodemo; naloo madoda alishumi elinantlanu, awangqinayo phambi kwerhuluneli, ukuba uYesu akazalwanga ngahenyuzo, nangabanye abantu abalungileyo, aba bonayo kuye;

2 Ke kaloku, bakuba bezimele bonke ngenxa yokoyika amaYuda, kwabonakala kubo uNikodemo yedwa, wathi, Bangathini na abantu abanjalo ukungena endlwini yesikhungu?

3 Amphendula amaYuda, esithi, Ubutheni na wena ukungena endlwini yesikhungu, ubunobudlelane noKristu? Vumela iqashiso lakho libe kunye naye kwelinye ilizwe.

4 Waphendula uNikodemo wathi, Amen; Makube njalo, ndibe naye iqashiso lam ebukumkanini bakhe.

5 Kwangokunjalo uYosefu efikile kumaYuda, wathi kuwo, Yini na ukuba nindijalele, ngokucela umzimba kaYesu kaPilato? Yabona, ndimbeke engcwabeni lam, ndimsongela ngelinen ecikizekileyo, ndibeke ilitye emnyango wengcwaba elo.

6 Ndenze ngokuthe tye kuye; nasuka nambetha, nimngcikivile nje umntu olilungisa, ngokumbethelela emnqamlezweni, ngokumnika iviniga, ukuba asele, nimthwesile imithana enameva, niwudlavula umzimba wakhe ngeentsontelo, nalithandazela ityala legazi lakhe phezu kwenu.

7 Akukuva oko amaYuda, oyisakala, oyika; Ambamba uYosefu, athi makafakwe elugcinweni phambi kwesabatha, agcinwe khona ide idlule isabatha.

8 Bathi kuye, Vuma; kuba ngoku akuvumelekile ukuba ukwenze into embi, kude kube ngumhla wokuqala weveki. Siyazi ke ukuba akuyi kuthiwe ungafanele kungcwatywa; inyama yakho siya kuyinika iintaka zezulu namarhamncwa omhlaba.

9 Waphendula uYosefu wathi, Loo ntetho ifana nelizwi likaGoliyati onekratshi, owamnyelisa uThixo ophilileyo ngokuthetha ngoDavide.

Ke nina ababhali noosiyazi niyazi ukuba uThixo uthi ngomprofeti, Impindezelo yeyam, ndiya kunibuyekeza ngobubi obunjengobo nandisongelayo.

10 UThixo owamxhoma emnqamlezweni, unako ukundihlangula esandleni sakho; Bonke ububi bakho buya kubuyela phezu kwakho.

11 Yathi ke irhuluneli, yazihlamba izandla zayo, yathi, Mna ndimsulwa egazini lalo mntu ulilungisa. Naphendula ke nadanduluka, nisithi, Igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwethu, naphezu kwabantwana bethu. Njengoko nitshilo, manitshabalale ngonaphakade.

12 Evile ke amadoda amakhulu amaYuda la mazwi, aba nomsindo omkhulu kunene. bambamba uYosefu, bambeka egumbini elingenafestile; aluvala ucango, alutywina isitshixo; 13 Ke kaloku ooAnas noKayafa babeka abalindi kuso, babhunga nababingeleli nabaLevi, ukuba bahlangane bonke emva kwesabatha; 14 Ke kaloku, bakukwenza oko, irhuluneli, ooAnas noKayafa, zathi uYosefu makakhutshwe.

ISAHLUKO SE-10 1 Lakuva ke lonke ibandla, lamangaliswa, lakhwankqiswa, ngokuba lilifumene itywina eliphezu kwesitshixo segumbi, akamfumananga uYosefu.

2 Baphuma ke ooAnas noKayafa; bathi, bakubon' ukuba bonke bemangalisiwe kukuba uYosefu emkile, kwathi gqi elinye isoldati, eligcina ingcwaba likaYesu, lithetha ebandleni.

3 Kuthe ke, bakulinda ingcwaba likaYesu, kwabakho unyikimo; Sabona isithunywa sikaThixo, siqengqa ilitye lengcwaba, sahlala phezu kwalo; 4 Ukubonakala kwayo kunjengombane, nesambatho sayo sinjengekhephu; yaye ngenxa yoloyiko saba njengabafileyo.

5 Saza seva isithunywa sezulu, sisithi kubafazi engcwabeni likaYesu, Musani ukoyika; Ndiyazi ukuba nifuna uYesu, lowo ubebethelelwe emnqamlezweni; uvukile, njengoko watshoyo; 6 Yizani, niyibone indawo abelele kuyo; Hambani kwaoko, nibaxelele abafundi bakhe ukuthi uvukile kwabafileyo; uya kunandulela ukuya kwelaseGalili. nombona khona apho, njengoko wayetshilo kuni.

7 Ahlanganisa ngoko amaYuda onke amasoldati abegcina ingcwaba likaYesu, athi kuwo, Ngoobani na abo bafazi, sathetha kubo isithunywa sezulu? Yini na ukuba ningazibambi?

8 Aphendula ke amasoldati athi, Asibazi abafazi abo; sisuke saba njengabafileyo kukoyika; singathini na ukubabamba abo bafazi?

9 Athi kuwo amaYuda, Ihleli nje iNkosi, thina asikholwa kuni.

10 Aphendula ke amasoldati athi kumaYuda, nithe nambona namva uYesu esenza imiqondiso engakanana, anakholwa nguye, nothini na ukukholwa kuthi? Nilungisile ukuthi, Ehleli nje uYehova, inene, uYehova uhleli.

11 Sivile ukuba nimvalele phantsi uYosefu, owawungcwabayo umzimba kaYesu, egumbini, phantsi kwesitshixo esitywiniweyo; nithe nakuyivula, animfumananga khona.

12 Nimkhuphe na ke uYosefu enamgcinayo egumbini, simkhuphe ke thina uYesu, lo samgcinayo engcwabeni.

13 Aphendula ke amaYuda, athi, Thina siya kuzala uYosefu; Kodwa uYosefu ukusemzini wakowabo iArimati.

14 Aphendula ke amasoldati, athi, Ukuba uYosefu useArimati, noYesu useGalili, seva isithunywa sezulu sibaxelela abafazi.

15 Akuva ke oko amaYuda, oyika, athethana odwa, esithi, Ukuba zingathi zihlahle ezi zinto, bokholwa kuye bonke ngabanye.

16 Bathe ke bahlanganisa imali eninzi, bayinika amasoldati lawo, besithi, Niyaxela na kwizihlwele, ukuba abafundi bakaYesu beza ngobusuku nilele, bawuba umzimba kaYesu; Ukuba ke uthe wayiva loo nto uPilato irhuluneli, thina sonelisa yena, sinikhusele.

17 Amasoldati ayithabatha ngoko imali leyo, athetha njengoko abexelelwe ngamaYuda; Lwaphuma udaba lwabo lwaphuma phakathi kwabantu.

18 Ke kaloku umbingeleli othile uFinehasi, onguAda, umfundisi, nomLevi, ogama linguAgeyu, beza beza eYerusalem bobathathu, bevela kwelaseGalili, bababikela ababingeleli abakhulu nabo bonke ababekwizindlu zesikhungu, besithi, 19 Simbonile uYesu, enambethelelayo emnqamlezweni nina, ethetha nabafundi bakhe abalishumi elinamnye, ehleli phakathi kwabo eNtabeni yemiNquma, esithi kubo, 20 Hambani niye kulo lonke ihlabathi, nishumayele iVangeli kuzo zonke iintlanga, nibabhaptizela egameni loYise, loNyana, loMoya oyiNgcwele; kwaye othe wakholwa wabhaptizwa, wosindiswa.

21 Akuba ezithethile ezi zinto kubafundi bakhe, sambona enyukela ezulwini.

22 Ke kaloku, bakukuva oko ababingeleli abakhulu, namadoda amakhulu, nabaLevi, bathi kula madoda mathathu, Mzukiseni uThixo kaSirayeli, nivume kuye, ukuba izinto enizithethileyo ziyinyaniso na, nizibonileyo naziva. .

23 Aphendula ke wona athi, Ihleli nje iNkosi yoobawo bethu, uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi, njengoko samvayo ethetha nabafundi bakhe, njengoko sambonayo enyukela ezulwini. , ngoko sikuxelele inyaniso.

24 Aphendula ke amadoda omathathu, ongezelela athi, Ukuba asingengawo la mazwi esawavayo uYesu ewathetha, nokumbona enyuka esiya emazulwini, soba netyala lesono.

25 Basuka besuka kwaoko ababingeleli abakhulu, beyiphethe ngesandla incwadi yomthetho, babafungisa abo, besithi, Anisayi kuba sazixela ezi zinto nizithethileyo ngoYesu.

26 Babanika imali eninzi, bathuma nabanye abantu kunye nabo, ukuba bababele kowabo, ukuze bangabi nakuhlala eYerusalem.

27 Ahlanganisana ke amaYuda aphela, ancwina kakhulu, esithi, Yintoni na le ingaka, ihlekileyo eYerusalem?

28 Baza bebathuthuzela ooAnas noKayafa, besithi, Yini na ukuba siwakholelwe amasoldati abelinda ingcwaba likaYesu, esithi, Isithunywa sezulu siliqengqe ilitye lesuka emnyango wengcwaba?

29 Mhlawumbi abafundi bakhe bathetha oku kubo, babanika imali, ukuba batsho, bawuthabatha bona umzimba kaYesu.

30 Kananjalo yiqondeni le nto, yokuba oonyana bolunye uhlanga bangabongwa; Bamele bathembeke kuthi, okanye kubafundi bakaYesu.

ISAHLUKO SE-11 1 Wavuka ke uNikodemo, wathi, Ninyanisile, nyana bakaSirayeli, nikuvile awathi loo madoda mathathu, awafungayo ngomthetho kaThixo, esithi, Simbonile uYesu ethetha nabafundi bakhe eNtabeni yemiNquma; enyukela ezulwini.

2 Kwaye isibhalo sisifundisa okokuba umprofeti osikelelekileyo uEliya wathatyathelwa ezulwini; Wabuzwa ke uElisha koonyana babaprofeti, wathi, Uphi na ubawo wethu uEliya? Wathi kubo, unyuselwe emazulwini.

3 Bathi ke oonyana babaprofeti kuye, Mhlawumbi umoya umthwalele kwenye yeentaba zakwaSirayeli; mhlawumbi somfumana khona. Bamcenga ke uElisha, wahamba nabo iintsuku zantathu, àbamfumana.

4 Kwaye ngoku ndiphulaphuleni, Owu nyana bakaSirayeli, kwaye masithumele amadoda ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, hleze umoya

umthabathe uYesu, kwaye mhlawumbi siya kumfumana size saneliswe.

5 Laza icebo likaNikodemo lalunga emehlweni abantu bonke; Bathuma amadoda, ayemfuna uYesu, akaba nakumfumana; abuya athi, Sihambe sahamba, asamfumana uYesu; samfumana uYosefu emzini wakowabo iArimati.

6 Bakuva ke abathetheli, nabantu bonke, bavuya, bamdumisa uThixo kaSirayeli; ngokuba efunyenwe uYosefu, ababemvalele egumbini, bengamfumani.

7 Bakubon’ ukuba benza isikhungu esikhulu, bathi ababingeleli abakhulu, Singamzisa ngantoni na uYosefu kuthi, athethe naye?

8 Bathabatha ke iphepha, babhala kuye, bathi, Uxolo malube nawe, nosapho lwakho lonke. Siyazi ukuba sikhubekile kuThixo, nakuwe; Kwanele ukusibona ooyihlo, kuba samangaliswa kukusinda kwenu entolongweni.

9 Siyazi ke ukuba bububi ebesicebe ngako ngawe, nokukuba uYehova ukukhathalele, wakuhlangula ngokwakhe kumayelenqe ethu; Uxolo malube kuwe, Yosefu, wena obekekileyo ebantwini bonke.

10 Banyula isixhenxe kubahlobo bakaYosefu, bathi kubo, Xa nifika kuYosefu, ze nimbulise ngoxolo, nimnike le ncwadi.

11 Akufika amadoda lawo kuYosefu, ambulisa ngoxolo, amnika incwadi leyo.

12 Ayilesa uYosefu, wathi, Mayibongwe iNkosi uYehova, owandihlangulayo koonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba bangabi nakuliphalaza igazi lam. Makabongwe uThixo, Ondigcineleyo phantsi kwamaphiko akho.

13 Wabanga uYosefu, wabangenisa endlwini yakhe. Ngengomso uYosefu walikhwela iesile, wahamba nabo ukuya eYerusalem.

14 Aziva ke zonke ezi zinto amaYuda, aphuma esiya kumkhawulela, adanduluka esithi, Uxolo, lufike lwakho apha, bawo Yosefu.

15Wathi kubo, Impumelelo evela kuYehova mayibe phezu kwabantu bonke.

16 Bamanga bonke; UNikodimo wamthabatha wamsa endlwini yakhe, elungisele isidlo esikhulu.

17 Ke kaloku ngengomso, iyimini yokulungiselela, bathi ooAnas noKayafa noNikodimo, kuYosefu, Vuma isono kuThixo kaSirayeli, usiphendule yonke imibuzo esikubuza yona; 18 Kuba sikhwankqiswe kakhulu, ekubeni wawungcwaba umzimba kaYesu; besikutshixele egumbini, asakufumana; sisuka sisoyika, kwada kwalixesha lokubonakala kwakho phakathi kwethu. Sixelele ngoko, phambi koThixo, konke okwenzekileyo.

19 Waphendula uYosefu wathi, Nandivalela okunene ngomhla wokulungiselela, kwada kwasa.

20 Kodwa ngoxa ndandimi emthandazweni ezinzulwini zobusuku, indlu ijikelezwe ziingelosi ezine; ndaza ndambona uYesu enjengokukhanya kwelanga, ndaza ndawa emhlabeni ngenxa yokoyika.

21 Uthe ke uYesu, endibambe ngesandla, wandifunqula emhlabeni, kwafafaza umbethe phezu kwam; Wandosula ubuso bam, wandanga, wathi kum, Musa ukoyika, Yosefu; khangelani kum, ngokuba ndim.

22 Ndabheka kuye, ndathi, Rabhoni uEliya! Wandiphendula wathi, Andinguye uEliya, kodwa nguYesu waseNazarete, omzimba wakhe wawungcwabayo.

23 Ndathi kuye, Ndibonise ingcwaba ebendikubeke kulo.

24 Wandibamba ngesandla uYesu, wandisa kuloo ndawo bendimbeke kuyo, wandibonisa iingubo zelinen, neqhiya, endiyibhinqise intloko yakhe. Ndaqonda ke ukuba nguYesu, ndaqubuda kuye, ndathi, Makabongwe lowo uzayo egameni leNkosi.

25 Wabuya uYesu, wandibamba ngesandla, wandikhokelela eArimatiya endlwini yam, wathi kum, Uxolo malube kuwe; ke musa ukuphuma endlwini yakho, kude kube ngumhla wamashumi amane; kodwa ndimelwe kukuba ndiye kubafundi bam.

ISAHLUKO SE-12 1 Bathi ababingeleli abakhulu, bakuziva zonke ezo zinto, bathi qhiphu umbilini, bawa ngobuso emhlabeni, njengabafileyo, bakhala omnye komnye, besithi, Ngumqondiso mni na lo, uhlekileyo eYerusalem? Siyamazi utata nonina kaYesu.

2 Wathi ke omnye umLevi, Ndiyabazi abaninzi kwizalamane zakhe ezingoowomileyo, abasondeza imibingelelo namadini anyukayo kuThixo kaSirayeli, bethandaza etempileni.

3 Uthe xa umbingeleli omkhulu uSimon wamthabatha wamwola.

Wathi kuye, Nkosi, uyamndulula ngoku umkhonzi wakho enoxolo, ngokwelizwi lakho; ngokuba amehlo am alubonile usindiso lwakho, olulungisileyo phambi kobuso bazo zonke izizwe: isikhanyiso sokukhanyisela iintlanga, uzuko lwabantu bakho amaSirayeli.

4 Kwangokunjalo uSimon wamsikelela uMariya, unina kaYesu, wathi kuye, Ndiyakuxelela into yaloo mntwana; Umiselwe ukuwa nokuvuka kwabaninzi, nokuba ngumqondiso ochasiweyo.

5 ewe, nowakho umphefumlo ikrele liya kuwutyhutyha, neengcinga zentliziyo eninzi ziya kutyhilwa.

6 Athi ke onke amaYuda, Masiwathumele loo madoda mathathu, athe ambone ethetha nabafundi bakhe eNtabeni yemiNquma.

7 Emveni koko bababuza ukuba babone ntoni na; abaphendula ngamxhelo mnye bathi, Phambi koThixo kaSirayeli siyangqina, ukuba sambona uYesu ethetha nabafundi bakhe eNtabeni yemiNquma, enyukela emazulwini.

8 Bandula ke ooAnas noKayafa babathabathele kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo, babancina bebodwa; abavuma ngamxhelo mnye inyaniso, besithi, Bambonile uYesu.

9 Bathe ke ooAnas noKayafa, Umthetho wethu uthi, Onke amazwi aya kumiswa ngomlomo wamangqina amabini, nokuba ngamathathu.

10 Kodwa sitheni? UEnoki osikelelekileyo wamkholisa uThixo, waza watshintshwa ngelizwi likaThixo; liyaziwa ingcwaba loMsikelelweyo uMoses.

11 Kodwa uYesu wanikelwa kuPilato, watywatyushwa, wathweswa isithsaba sameva, watshicelwa, wahlatywa ngomkhonto, wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni, wafa emnqamlezweni, waza wangcwatywa, waza umzimba wakhe uYosefu obekekileyo wangcwatywa engcwabeni elitsha, kwaye uyangqina ukuba wambona ephila.

12 Yaye ngaphandle kwaba baxelayo, ukuba bambonile ethetha nabafundi bakhe eNtabeni yemiNquma, enyuka esiya emazulwini.

13 Wesuka uYosefu; wathi kuAnas noKayafa, Ninokuba nomangaliso nje ngokusesikweni, ekubeni nivile ukuba uYesu uhleli, unyukile waya emazulwini.

14 Okunene, kwaba ngummangaliso okunene, kukuba, ukuba angavuki yena kwabafileyo nje, abe evusa nabanye emangcwabeni abo, ababonelwe ngabaninzi eYerusalem.

15 Kwaye ngoku ndive kancinane: Sonke sasimazi osikelelekileyo uSimeyon, umbingeleli omkhulu, owathabatha uYesu xa wayelusana wamwola ezingalweni zakhe etempileni.

16Kwalo uSimeyon wayenoonyana ababini, yaye sasikhona sonke ekufeni nasekungcwatyweni kwabo.

17 Yiyani ngoko, niwakhangele amangcwaba abo; ngokuba avuliwe, yaye bavukile; niyabona, basemzini waseArimati, bechitha ixesha kunye ezigxineni.

18 Bambi, eneneni, bawavile amazwi abo emthandazweni, kodwa abathethi naye nabani na, kodwa bahlala njengezimumu njengabafileyo.

19 Yizani ke siye kubo, sihlale kubo ngokuhlonela konke, nokulumka; Kwaye ukuba sinokubazisa ukuba bafunge, mhlawumbi baya kusixelela ezinye iimfihlelo zovuko lwabo.

20 Akukuva oko amaYuda, avuya kunene.

21 Basuka ke ooAnas noKayafa, noNikodimo, noYosefu, noGamaliyeli, baya eArimati, ababafumananga emangcwabeni abo; bathi bewujikeleza umzi, babathandela emadolweni abo.

22 Babulisa ke ngembeko yonke nangembeko kuThixo, babazisa endlwini yesikhungu eYerusalem, bawavala ke amasango, bayithabatha incwadi yomthetho kaYehova.

23 ewubeke ezandleni zabo, wafunga uThixouThixo kaSirayeli, owathethayo koobawo ngomthetho nabaprofeti, esithi, Ukuba nithe nakholwa kulowo wanivusayo kwabafileyo, ukuba unguYesu, yitshoni kubo ukuthi, nathi ngale nto niyibonileyo, nokuvuswa kwenu kwabafileyo.

24 Baza bangcangcazela oonyana bakaSimon noLenthiyo, bakuziva ezi zinto, bakhala, bancwina; bathi ngelo xesha, bekhangele ezulwini, bawenza ngeminwe elulwimini umqondiso womnqamlezo.

25 Bathetha kwaoko, bathi, Sinike elowo iphepha incwadi, sikubhalele zonke izinto esizibonileyo. Bahlala phantsi, babhala elowo, besithi.

ISAHLUKO SE-13 1 Owu Nkosi Yesu, Bawo, onguThixo, novuko nobomi babafileyo, siphe ithuba lokuvakalisa iimfihlelo zakho, esazibonayo emva kokufa, ezizezomnqamlezo wakho; ngokuba sifungelwe igama lakho.

2 Kuba uzithintele izicaka zakho ukuba zibhengeze izinto ezifihlakeleyo, ezazenziwe ngamandla akho obuthixo esihogweni.

3 Xa sasibekwe kunye noobawo bethu ebunzulwini besihogo, kubumnyama bobumnyama, ngequbuliso kwavela umbala welanga onjengegolide, nokukhanya okunombala omfusa okukhulu okukhanyisela indawo.

4 Ngoku phezu koku, uAdam, uyise walo lonke uluntu, ekunye nabo bonke oosolusapho nabaprofeti, wagcoba waza wathi, Olo khanyiso yimbangi yokukhanya okungunaphakade, othe wathembisa ukusiguqulela ekukhanyeni okungunaphakade.

10 Emveni koko kwaphuma othile, onjengothunjana, wabuzwa ngabo bonke ukuthi, Ungubani na?

11 Waphendula ke wathi, Mna ndililizwi lodandulukayo entlango, uYohane umbhaptizi, nomprofeti wOsenyangweni, owandulela ukufika kwakhe, ukuba alungise indlela yakhe, ukubazisa abantu bakhe ulwazi losindiso. ukuxolelwa kwezono.

12 Kwaye mna, Yohane, xa ndabona uYesu esiza kum, eqhutywa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, ndathi, Nantso iMvana kaThixo, nantso leyo ethwala isuse izono zehlabathi.

ISAHLUKO SE-14 1 Ke kaloku, akuziva ezi zinto umntu wokuqala, ubawo wethu uAdam, ukuba uYesu wabhaptizwa eYordan, wadanduluka kuSete unyana wakhe, wathi, 2 Baxeleleni oonyana benu, oobawo, nabaprofeti, zonke izinto owazivayo kuMikayeli, isiphatha-zithunywa, ekuthumeni kwam emasangweni eParadisi, ukuba ubongoze uThixo, ukuba ayithambise intloko yam, xa ndisifayo.

3 Wasondela uSete koobawomkhulu nakubaprofeti, wathi, Mna uSete, xa bendithandaza kuThixo, ndisemasangweni eParadisi, ndabona isithunywa seNkosi, uMikayeli kum, esithi, Ndithunyiwe kuwe ndivela eNkosini. ; Ndimiselwe ukongamela imizimba yabantu.

4 Ndithi kuwe, Sete, uze ungamthandazeli uThixo ulila, umbongoze ngenxa yeoli yomthi wenceba, awuthambisayo uyihlo u-Adam, ukuze abe buhlungu bentloko yakhe; 5 Kuba aninako ukuwuzuza kude kube ngumhla namaxesha, oko kukuthi, kude kudlule amawaka amahlanu anamakhulu mahlanu.

6 Uya kwandula ke uKristu, oyena Nyana unenceba kaThixo, eze emhlabeni ukuze avuse kwakhona umzimba womntu ka-Adam, aze kwangaxeshanye avuse imizimba yabafileyo, aze akuba efikile uya kubhaptizwa eYordan;

8 Kwaye xa ngelo xesha oyena Nyana unenceba kaThixo, uKrestu Yesu, eya kuhla emhlabeni, uya kumazisa ubawo wethu uAdam eParadesi, kumthi wenceba.

9 Baziva zonke ezi zinto ngoSete, oomawokhulu nabaprofeti, bavuya ngakumbi.

ISAHLUKO SE-15 1 Bakuba bevuya bonke abangcwele, wasuka wathi uSathana, umthetheli wokufa, wathi kumthetheli wesihogo, 2 Zilungiseleleni ukumamkela uYesu waseNazarete, owaziqhayisayo ukuba unguNyana kaThixo, engumntu owoyika ukufa, wathi, Umphefumlo wam ubuhlungu, kude kuse ekufeni.

3 Ngaphezu koko wenza izinto ezininzi ezimbi kum nakwabanye abaninzi; Kuba abo ndabenza iimfama, neziqhwala, nabo ndandibathuthumbisa ngeedemon ezininzi, wabaphilisa ngelizwi lakhe; ewe, abo ndabazisayo kuwe befile, uya kumsusa kuwe ngamandla.

4 Waphendula umthetheli wesihogo wathi kuSathana, Ngubani na laa tshawe ilingangamsha, engumntu owoyikayo ukufa?

5 Ngokuba onke amagunya ehlabathi aphantsi kwam, Owabanyatheleyo wena ngamandla akho.

6 Kodwa ukuba womelele kangaka ngemvelo yakhe, ndingqina kuwe ngenyaniso, ukuba ungusomandla kwimvelo yakhe yobuthixo, akukho bani unako ukumelana namandla akhe.

7 Uthe ke ngoko, wathi kukoyika ukufa, wakwenzela ukuba kube ngumgibe kuwe, kube kukubi emehlweni akho kude kuse ephakadeni.

8 Waphendula ke uSathana, wathi kumthetheli welabafileyo, Yini na ukuba uthandabuze, woyike nje ukumamkela uYesu waseNazarete, umchasi wakho kwanam?

9 Mna ke, ndamlinga, ndaza ndawaxhokonxa abantu bam amaYuda ukuba abe nekhwele nomsindo ngakuye?

10 Ndimlolele umkhonto ngenxa yokubandezeleka kwakhe; Ndayixuba inyongo neviniga, ndathi makasele; Ndawulungisa umnqamlezo wokumbethelela, nezikhonkwane zokugqobhoza ezandleni nasezinyaweni zikaIbis; Ngoku ke kusondele ukufa kwakhe. Ndiya kumzisa apha, endithobela wena nawe.

11 Waphendula umthetheli welabafileyo, wathi, Wena utsho kum ukuthi, Ubathabathile kum ofileyo; 12 Abo babegcinwe apha bade baphile kwakhona emhlabeni, bathatyathelwa kude apha, kungengamandla abo, kodwa ngemithandazo eyenziwa kuThixo, waza uThixo wabo onamandla onke wabathabatha kum.

13 Ngubani na ke lo Yesu waseNazarete, le nto uthe ngelizwi lakhe wabasusa abafileyo kum, engathandazanga kuThixo?

14 Mhlawumbi ikwanguye na owamthabathayo uLazaro, emveni kokuba ebeneentsuku ezine efile, wayenuka kakubi, ebolile, endibaphethe njengofileyo, wamvusa ngamandla akhe. .

15 Waphendula ke uSathana, wathi kumthetheli welabafileyo, ikwanguye uYesu waseNazarete.

16 Evile ke umthetheli welabafileyo, wathi kuye, Ndikufungisa ngokwam amandla akho nawe, ukuba ungamzisi kum.

17 Ndakuva amandla elizwi layo, ndangcangcazela kukoyika; 18 Asibanga nako ukumbamba uLazaro; Waza wona umhlaba, apho wawulele kuwo isidumbu sikaLazaro, wamkhupha ephila.

19 Kwaye ndiyazi ngoku, ukuba unguThixo uSomandla onako ukwenza ezi zinto, lowo unamandla ebukumkanini bakhe, nonamandla ngemvelo yakhe yomntu, onguMsindisi woluntu.

20 Musani ke ukumzisa apha lo mntu, kuba uya kubakhulula bonke abo ndibagcine entolongweni phantsi kokungakholwa, abakhonkxe ngamakhamandela ezono zabo, abakhokelele ebomini obungunaphakade.

ISAHLUKO SE-16 1 Ke kaloku, kwakubon' ukuba uSathana nomphathi wesihogo bayathetha ezo zinto omnye komnye, kwabakho izwi elingathi lelendudumo, nokuvuthuza kwemimoya, lisithi, Phakamisani amasango enu, baphathi; niziphakamise, masango angunaphakade, kwaye uKumkani wozuko uya kungena.

2 Evile ke umthetheli welabafileyo, wathi kuSathana, Mka kum, uphume ekhayeni lam; ukuba uligorha elinamandla, yilwa noKumkani wozuko. Kodwa unantoni yakwenza naye?

3 Wamgxotha ke ezindlwini zakhe.

4 Sathi isikhulu kubakhonzi baso abangahloneli Thixo, Vavaleni amasango okugonyamela, niwaqinise ngemivalo yesinyithi, nilwe nikhaliphile, hleze kuthinjwe.

5 Lakukuva ke oko lonke ibandla labangcwele, lathetha ngezwi elikhulu lomsindo kuyo umphathi welabafileyo.

6 Vula amasango akho ukuze uKumkani wozuko angene.

7 Yaye umprofeti ongokobuthixo uDavide, wadanduluka esithi, Andizange na mna emhlabeni ndiprofete ngokwenene ndize ndithi, Owu akwaba abantu bebeya kudumisa uYehova ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe, nemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo koonyana babantu?

8 Kuba ezaphule iingcango zobhedu, Wayixakaxa imivalo yesinyithi.

Wabathabatha ngenxa yobugwenxa babo, Nangenxa yobugwenxa babo bacinezelwa.

9 Emva koko wathetha kwangokunjalo nomnye umprofeti, onguIsaya ongcwele, kwangokunjalo kubo bonke abangcwele.

10 Abafileyo baya kuphila, bavuke abasemangcwabeni abo, bagcobe abasehlabathini; ngokuba umbethe ophuma kuYehova uya kubasindisa.

11 Ndathi ke kwenye indawo, Luphi na, Kufa, uloyiso lwakho?

Luphi na, kufa, ulwamvila lwakho?

12 Ke kaloku, bakukuva oko bonke abangcwele akuthethwa ngoIsaya, bathi kumthetheli welabafileyo, Khawuwavule amasango akho, uwususe imivalo yakho yesinyithi; ngokuba uya kubotshwa ngoku, ungenamandla.

13 Kwabakho ke izwi elikhulu elingathi sisandi sokududuma, lisithi, Waphakamiseni amasango enu, baphathi; niphakanyiswe, masango esihogo, kwaye uKumkani wozuko uya kungena.

14 Ethe wakuva umthetheli wesihogo kwaeloo lizwi liphindaphindayo, wadanduluka ngathi akazi, Ngubani na loo Kumkani wozuko?

15 Waphendula uDavide kumthetheli welabafileyo, wathi, Ndiyawava amazwi elo lizwi, ngokuba ndiwathethe ngomoya wakhe.

Ngoku ke ndithi kuni, INkosi, igorha, igorha, iNkosi, igorha emfazweni, nguKumkani wozuko, uYehova emazulwini nasehlabathini; 16 Ukhangele phantsi, ukuba akuve ukugcuma kwabakhonkxiweyo, Abakhulule oonyana bokufa.

17 Kwaye ngoku, wena nkosana engcolileyo nenukayo yesihogo, vula amasango akho, ukuze uKumkani wozuko angene; ngokuba uyiNkosi yezulu nehlabathi.

18 Ke kaloku, akukuthetha oko uDavide, yabonakala iNkosi enamandla injengomntu, yazikhanyisela iindawo ezibe zisebumnyameni ngenxa engaphambili; 19 Wawaqhawula amakhamandela awayengenako ukuqhawuka ngaphambili; Waza ngamandla akhe angenakoyiswa wabavelela abo bahleli esithokothokweni ngobugwenxa, nethunzi lokufa esonweni.

ISAHLUKO SE-17 1 Ukufa okukhohlakeleyo namagosa alo akhohlakeleyo, akuziva ezo zinto, aqhiphuka umbilini kwizikumkani zawo ezininzi, akukubona ukukhanya kokukhanya.

2 Wathi ke uKristu ngokwakhe ngequbuliso wabonakala eminqubeni yabo; adanduluka athi, Sikhonkxwe nguwe; ubonakala unenjongo yokudideka kwethu phambi kweNkosi.

3 Ungubani na wena, ungenabubi, ungenalo uphawu lokuqaqadeka, kanti ke yena ubonakalaliswa bubuhle obupheleleyo bobukhulu bakho, ongabuhoyanga nje?

4 Ungubani na wena, ukuba unamandla, ungenamandla, kambe, kambe, kambe, kambe, kambe, kambe, wena ude uphantsi, ubuye uphume kuluhlu lokuqala, unokumisa njengekhoboka njengejoni eliqhelekileyo?

5 UKumkani wozuko, efile kwaye edla ubomi, nakuba kanye wabulawa emnqamlezweni?

6 Ngubani na owalala engcwabeni, wehla weza kuthi ephilile, ekufeni kwakho zanyikima zonke izidalwa, zashukuma zonke iinkwenkwezi; 7 Ungubani na wena, wena ubakhululayo abathinjwa abo babebanjwe sisono sokuqala, ukuba ubazise enkululekweni yabo yangaphambili?

8 Ungubani na wena, wena wasasaza ubuqaqawuli nokukhanya okungako phezu kwabo babenziwe iimfama ngobuthokothoko besono?

9 Kwangokunjalo yonke imikhosi yeedemon yabanjwa ngokoyika kwanjengaleyo; 10 Kuvela phi na, Owu Yesu Krestu, ukuba ungumntu onamandla kangaka nozukile ngobungangamsha, oqaqambe kangangokuba ungabi nabala, kwaye unyulu kangangokuba ungabi natyala? Kuba elaa hlabathi liphantsi, lalisithobelayo kude kube ngoku, apho samkela khona irhafu, alizange lisithumele umntu ofileyo onje, alizanga lisithumele izipho ezinjalo kubaphathi besihogo.

11 Ungubani ke ngoko, othi ngenkalipho elolu hlobo ungene phakathi kweendawo zethu zokuhlala, kwaye ungoyiki nje kuphela ukusigrogrisa ngezona zohlwayo zikhulu, kodwa uzama nokuhlangula bonke abanye kumatyathanga esibabambe ngawo?

12 Mhlawumbi nguwe uYesu, athe ngoku uSathana uthethe nomphathi wethu, esithi, ngokufa komnqamlezo, niza kuwamkela amandla okufa.

13 Waza ke uKumkani wozuko wanyathela phezu kokufa, wayibamba inkosana yesihogo, wayihlutha onke amandla akhe, waza wathabatha ubawo wethu wasemhlabeni uAdam wahamba naye ukuya eluzukweni lwakhe.

ISAHLUKO SE-18 1 Umthetheli welabafileyo wamthabatha uSathana, wathi kuye ngomqondiso omkhulu, Mthetheli wentshabalalo, wena mchasimthetho kaBhelezebhubhe, ungcikivo lwezithunywa zikaThixo, okruqukileyo phakathi kwamalungisa onke! Yintoni na le nto uyenzileyo?

2 Ubungambethelela emnqamlezweni uKumkani wozuko, kwaye ngokutshabalalisa kwakhe, usenze izithembiso zeenzuzo ezinkulu kakhulu, kodwa njengesidenge sasingayazi into oyiyo.

3 Kuba qaphelani ngoku, ukuba uYesu waseNazarete, ngokubengezela kozuko lobuthixo bakhe, ugxotha onke amagunya obumnyama obumnyama nawokufa; 4 Izidilizile iintolongo zethu, kwathabathela phezulu kwesa phantsi, yabandulula bonke abathinjwa, abakhulule bonke ababekhonkxiwe; yaye bonke ababefudula bencwina phantsi komthwalo weentuthumbo zabo bayangcikiva ngoku; imithandazo yabo.

5 Ubukhosi bethu boyiswa, yaye akukho nxalenye yaluntwini iseleyo ngoku ephantsi kolawulo lwethu; 6 Nakuba, ngaphambili, abafileyo babengazange babe nabuganga ba kusingcikiva, kananjalo, ekubeni babengamabanjwa, bangaze bavuye nangaliphi na ixesha.

7 Owu Sathana, wena nkosana yabo bonke abakhohlakeleyo, bawo abangahloneli Thixo nabashiyiweyo, kungani na ukuba ulinge eli qhinga, ekubeni amabanjwa ethu ehleli engenawo amathemba mancinane osindiso nobomi?

8 Kungokunje akubangakho namnye uncwinayo kubo, kungekho nyembezi ebusweni babo bonke.

9 Owu nkosana Sathana, wena mlindi omkhulu wemimandla yasephakadeni, zonke iingenelo zakho othe wazifumana ngomthi owalelweyo, nokulahlekelwa yiParadesi, ngoku uphulukene neenkuni zomnqamlezo; 10 Lwaye lwaphela olo luyolo lwakho, xa wambethelelayo emnqamlezweni uYesu Kristu, uKumkani wozuko.

11 Uye wenza ngokuchasene neminqweno yakho neyam, njengoko uya kubona ngoku ngezo ntuthumbo zinkulu nezohlwayo ezingenasiphelo osele uza kuzinyamezela.

12 Owu Sathana, umthetheli wabo bonke ububi, umsunguli wokufa, nomthombo walo lonke ikratshi, ngewuqale wabuzisa ngamatyala angendawo kaYesu waseNazarete, kwaye ngoko ubuya kuba ufumanise ukuba akanatyala lingenatyala lifanelwe kukufa.

13 Yini na ukuba uthe, ngaphandle kwesizathu nabulungisa, ukumbethelela emnqamlezweni, uze umhlisele emideni yethu umntu omsulwa nolilungisa, waza ngaloo ndlela ulahlekelwe ngabo bonke aboni, abangendawo nabangengomalungisa ehlabathini lonke?

14 Kwathi umthetheli wesihogo esathetha njalo noSathana, wathi uKumkani wozuko kuBhelezebhule, umphathi wesihogo, uSathana, umphathiswa uya kuthotyelwa phantsi kolawulo lwakho kude kuse ephakadeni, endaweni ka-Adam, noonyana bakhe abangamalungisa, abo bahleliyo. yam.

ISAHLUKO SE-19 1 Ke ngoko uYesu wolula isandla sakhe, wathi, Yizani kum, nonke nina bangcwele bam, enadalwa ngokomfanekiselo wam, nagwetyelwayo ngomthi wesiqhamo esalelweyo, nangomtyholi nokufa; 2 Khawuphile kaloku ngasenkuni yomnqamlezo wam; umtyholi, umphathi weli hlabathi, woyisiwe, kwaye ukufa koyisiwe.

3 Bahlanganiswa ngoko bonke abangcwele, phantsi kwesandla soThixo Osenyangweni; Yaza iNkosi uYesu yasibamba isandla sikaAdam, yathi kuye, Uxolo malube kuwe, nenzala yakho yonke engamalungisa, eyam yodwa.

4 Waziphosa phantsi uAdam ezinyaweni zikaYesu, wathetha kuye eneenyembezi, ngezwi elithobekileyo, ngezwi elikhulu, esithi, 5 Ndiya kukuphakamisa, Yehova, kuba undirholile wandinyusa, Akwazivuyisa iintshaba zam ngam. Yehova, Thixo wam, ndazibika kuwe, wandiphilisa.

6 Yehova, uwunyusile kwelabafileyo umphefumlo wam; undidlise ubomi, ukuba ndingehli ndiye emhadini.

7 Vumani kuYehova, nonke nina bakhe bangcwele, Nibulele kwisikhumbuzo sobungcwele bakhe. Ngokuba yinto yephanyazo umsindo wakhe; ekukholeni kwakhe bubomi.

8 Kwangokunjalo bonke abangcwele, bequbuda ezinyaweni zikaYesu, bathi ngazwi-nye, Wena ufikile, Owu Mkhululi wehlabathi, kwaye okunene uzifezile zonke izinto, owathi wazixela kwangaphambili ngomthetho nabaprofeti bakho abangcwele.

9 Wabakhulula abaphilileyo ngomnqamlezo wakho, waza wehla weza kuthi, ukuze ngokufa komnqamlezo ube nokusikhulula esihogweni, nangamandla akho ekufeni.

10 Owu, Nkosi, njengokuba uyibekile imiqondiso yozuko lwakho ezulwini, kwaye wawumisa umqondiso wenkululeko yakho, nkqu umnqamlezo wakho emhlabeni! Ngoko ke, Nkosi, beka umqondiso woloyiso lomnqamlezo wakho esihogweni, ukuze ukufa kungabi saba luncedo.

11 Ngoko iNkosi yasolula isandla sayo, yenza umqondiso womnqamlezo phezu koAdam, naphezu kwabo bonke abangcwele bakhe.

12 Kwaye wambamba uAdam ngesandla sakhe sokunene, wenyuka evela kwelabafileyo, kwaye bonke abangcwele bakaThixo bamlandela.

13 Wadanduluka ke uDavide, umprofeti wokumkani ngokungafihlisiyo, wathi, Vumani kuYehova ingoma entsha, ngokuba wenze imisebenzi ebalulekileyo; isandla sakhe sokunene nengalo yakhe engcwele zimnike uloyiso.

14 INkosi ilwazisile usindiso lwakhe, ibonakalisile ubulungisa bayo emehlweni eentlanga.

15 Yaphendula ke yonke inkitha yabangcwele, isithi, Makube luzuko olu kwabangcwele bakhe bonke; Amen, Dumisani iNkosi.

16 Emveni koko wadanduluka umprofeti uHabhakuki, wathi, Uphume waya kusindisa abantu bakho, ukubasindisa abantu bakho.

17 Bathe ke bonke abangcwele, 4 Makabongwe lowo uzayo egameni leNkosi; ngokuba iNkosi isikhanyisele. Lo nguThixo wethu ngonaphakade kanaphakade; uya kusilawula kude kuse ephakadeni, Amen.

18 Kwangokunjalo bonke abaprofeti bazithetha izinto ezingcwele zendumiso yakhe, bamlandela uYehova.

ISAHLUKO 20 1 INkosi ke, ibambe uAdam ngesandla, yamnikela kuMikayeli isiphatha-zithunywa; waza wabakhokelela eParadesi, ezele yinceba nozuko; 2 Kwabahlangabeza amadoda amabini amadala, abuzwa ngabangcwele ukuthi, Ningoobani na nina, nibe ningekabi nathi esihogweni, niyibeke imizimba yenu eParadisi?

3 Waphendula omnye wabo wathi, Mna ndinguEnoki, owaguqulelwayo ngelizwi likaThixo; lo unam ke nguEliya waseTishbhi, owathotyelwa enqwelweni yomlilo.

4 Apha kude kube ngoku besikhona, asingcamanga kufa, kodwa ngoku sesiza kubuya ekufikeni koMchasi-Kristu, exhobe ngemiqondiso yobuthixo nemimangaliso, ukuba silwe kunye naye edabini, nokuba sibulawe nguye eYerusalem, nokuze simbulale. aphinde athatyathwe esemafini ephila, emva kweentsuku ezintathu ezinesiqingatha.

5 Kwaye ngeli lixa uEnoki noEliya ongcwele babebalisa oku, qaphelani kweza enye indoda ekwimo elusizi ithwele uphawu lomnqamlezo emagxeni ayo.

6 Bakumbona ke bonke abangcwele, bathi kuye, Ungubani na?

Ngokuba ubuso bakho bunjengobesela; Yini na ukuba uthwale umnqamlezo emagxeni akho?

7 Waphendula ke yena wathi, Nilungisile; ngokuba bendilisela elenza zonke iintlobo zobubi ehlabathini.

8 Athe ke amaYuda andibethelela emnqamlezweni, kunye noYesu; ndaza ndabona izinto ezimangalisayo ezenzeka kwindalo ekubethelelweni kweNkosi uYesu.

9 Kwaye ndamkholelwa ukuba unguMdali wezinto zonke, noKumkani onguSomandla; ndathandaza kuye, ndisithi, Nkosi, uze undikhumbule, xa uthe weza usebukumkanini bakho.

10 Wasiva kwaoko ukutarhuzisa kwam, wathi kum, Inene, ndithi kuwe, Namhlanje ùya kuba nam eParadisi.

11 Wandinika lo mqondiso womnqamlezo, esithi, Thabatha oku, uye eParadisi; Ukuba ke isithunywa esingumlindi weParadesi sithe asivuma kuwe, bonisa umqondiso womnqamlezo, uthi kuso, UYesu Kristu, lowo ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni ngoku, undithume apha kuwe.

12 Ndakuba ndikwenzile oko, ndasixela isithunywa esingumgcini weParadesi zonke ezo zinto, yaza yaziva, yawavula ke kwaoko amasango, yandazisa, yandibeka ngasekunene eParadisi.

13 esithi, Hlalani apha, ade angene uAdam, uyise woluntu lonke, noonyana bakhe bonke, abakhonzi abangcwele, abangamalungisa bakaYesu Kristu, owabethelelwa emnqamlezweni.

14 Ke kaloku, bakukuva konke oko kulandisa kwesela, bathi bonke oomawokhulu ngazwi-nye, Ubongwe wena, Thixo Somandla, Yise wenceba engunaphakade, uYise onenceba, obenzele inceba abo bonayo. kuye, kwaye ubazise kwinceba yeParadesi, kwaye ubabeke phakathi kwezibonelelo zakho ezinkulu nezomoya, kubomi bomoya nobungcwele. Amen.

ISAHLUKO 21 1 Zizo ezi iimfihlelo ezingcwele, esazibonayo, sazivayo; Mna, uCharinus noLenthius asivumelekanga ukuba sichaze ezinye iimfihlelo zikaThixo, njengoko isiphatha-zingelosi uMikayeli wasiyalelayo.

2 esithi, Niya kuya nabazalwana bam eYerusalem, niye nihlale emithandazweni, nivakalisa, nizukisa ukuvuka kukaYesu Kristu, enivusile nje kwaoko kwaoko kunye naye.

3 Kwaye aniyi kuthetha naye nawuphina umntu, kodwa hlalani njengezidenge kude kube ilixa xa iNkosi iya kunivumela ukuba nibalise iimfihlelo zobuthixo bayo.

4 UMikayeli, isiphatha-zithunywa zezulu, wasiyalela ngokubhekele phaya, ukuba siwele phesheya kweYordan, siye ezweni eliliqhayiya, elichumileyo, apho baninzi abathe bavuka kunye nathi kwabafileyo, ngenxa yobungqina bokuvuka kukaKristu.

5 Kuba sineentsuku ezintathu kuphela esisivumeleyo ukuba sivuke ekufeni, ukuze siyenze ipasika yeNkosi yethu nabazali bethu, nokuba sinikele ubungqina bethu ngoKristu iNkosi, yaye sabhaptizwa kumlambo ongcwele waseYordan. Kwaye ngoku ababonwa mntu.

6 Kungoko ke uThixo wasamkelayo ukuba sinichazele; Mnikeni ngoko indumiso nembeko, niguquke, woba nemfesane kuni. Makube luxolo kuni oluvela eNkosini uThixo uYesu Kristu, uMsindisi wethu sonke.

Amen, Amen, Amen.

7 Kwaye emva kokuba begqibile ukubhala kwaye bebhala kumaphepha amabini awahlukeneyo, uCharino wakunikela oko wayekubhalile ezandleni zika-Anas, noKayafa, noGamaliyeli.

8 ULenthiyo ngokunjalo wakunikela oko wakubhalileyo ezandleni zikaNikodemo noYosefu; kwaye ngoko nangoko zatshintshwa zaba ziimo ezimhlophe ngokugqithisileyo zaza zangabi sabonwa kwakhona.

15 Ke kaloku, bakuba bemangalisiwe ababingeleli bethu abakhulu emveni kokuva kwakhe ubunzima yimiqondiso eyabe yenziwe ngesandla sakhe, sayivula ke loo ncwadi ukuba siphengulule zonke izizukulwana, kude kuse kwisizukulwana sikaYosefu, noMariya unina kaYesu, sicinga ukuba ungowasenyangweni. yimbewu kaDavide; 16 Kwaye safumana ingxelo yendalo, kwaye ngexesha awalenza ngalo izulu nomhlaba nomntu wokuqala uAdam, nokokuba ukusuka apho ukuya kuNogumbe, yayingamawaka amabini, amakhulu amabini aneshumi elinesibini lamawaka.

17 Ukususela kunogumbe ukuya kutsho kuAbraham yayingamakhulu asithoba aneshumi elinesibini. ukuthabathela kuAbraham kuye kuMoses, ibingamakhulu amane, anamanci mathathu. bethabathela kuMoses besa kuDavide ukumkani, ibingamakhulu amahlanu anashumi-nye.
