Mark 15
1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
Kwathi khonokho ekuseni kakhulu abapristi abakhulu benza umhlangano kanye labadala lababhali, lomphakathi wonke, bambopha uJesu bamqhuba bamnikela kuPilatu.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.
UPilatu wasembuza wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? Wasemphendula wathi kuye: Uyatsho wena.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things.
Abapristi abakhulu basebemmangalela ngezinto ezinengi; kodwa yena kaphendulanga lutho.
4 And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of.
UPilatu wasebuya embuza, wathi: Kawuphenduli lutho yini? Khangela, zingaki izinto abazifakazayo ezimelana lawe.
5 But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marveled.
Kodwa uJesu kabesaphendula lutho, waze wamangala uPilatu.
6 Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
Langomkhosi wayebakhululela isibotshwa esisodwa, loba yisiphi abasicelayo.
7 And there was one called Barabbas, [lying] bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
Kwakukhona umuntu othiwa nguBarabasi, owayebotshiwe lalabo ababevukele umbuso laye, ababebulele ekuvukeleni umbuso.
8 And the multitude went up and began to ask him [to do] as he was wont to do unto them.
Ixuku laselimemeza laqala ukucela ukuthi enze njengalokho ayehlezi ekwenza kubo.
9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
UPilatu wasebaphendula, wathi: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele iNkosi yamaJuda yini?
10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
Ngoba wayekwazi ukuthi ngomona abapristi abakhulu bamnikele.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
Kodwa abapristi abakhulu bavusa ixuku, ukuthi kungcono alikhululele uBarabasi.
12 And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
UPilatu wasephendula wathi futhi kubo: Pho lifuna ngimenzeni lo elithi uyiNkosi yamaJuda?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
Basebememeza futhi bathi: Mbethele!
14 And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.
Kodwa uPilatu wathi kubo: Ngoba wenze ububi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu bathi: Mbethele!
15 And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
Khona uPilatu ethanda ukukholisa ixuku, wabakhululela uBarabasi; kodwa wamnikela uJesu, esemtshaye ngesiswepu, ukuthi abethelwe.
16 And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
Abebutho basebemngenisa phakathi, egumeni, eliyindlu yombusi, basebebizela ibutho lonke ndawonye,
17 And they clothe him with purple, and plaiting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
bamgqokisa okuyibubende, sebeluke umqhele wameva bamethesa,
18 and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
baqala ukumbingelela besithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda!
19 And they smote his head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
Batshaya ikhanda lakhe ngomhlanga, bamkhafulela amathe, baguqa ngamadolo bamkhonza.
20 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.
Sebemklolodele, bamhlubula okuyibubende, bamgqokisa ezakhe izembatho. Basebemusa phandle ukuze bambethele.
21 And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go [with them], that he might bear his cross.
Babamba ngamandla omunye owayesedlula othiwa nguSimoni umKurene, evela emaphandleni, uyise kaAleksandro loRufusi, ukuthi athwale isiphambano sakhe.
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
Basebemusa endaweniethiwa yiGolgotha, okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, iNdawo yokhakhayi.
23 And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
Basebemnika iwayini lixutshaniswe lenhlaka ukuthi alinathe; kodwa kalemukelanga.
24 And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take.
Sebembethele, babelana izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngazo, ukuthi ngamunye uzathathani.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Kwakulihola lesithathu, njalo bambethela.
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Futhi kwakulombhalo wecala lakhe elalibhalwe phezulu usithi: INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
27 And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.
Njalo babethela kanye laye abaphangi ababili, omunye ngakwesokunene lomunye ngakwesokhohlo sakhe.
Wasugcwaliseka umbhalo othi: Futhi wabalwa kanye lezoni.
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
Labedlulayo bamhlambaza, benikina amakhanda abo, besithi: Hiya, wena odiliza ithempeli, ulakhe ngensuku ezintathu,
30 save thyself, and come down from the cross.
zisindise, wehle esiphambanweni.
31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him] among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
Langokunjalo abapristi abakhulu labo bakloloda kanye lababhali bathi omunye komunye: Wasindisa abanye, angezisindise yena.
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.
UKristu iNkosi yakoIsrayeli kehle khathesi esiphambanweni, ukuze sibone sikholwe. Lababebethelwe kanye laye bamklolodela.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Kwathi sekufike ihola lesithupha, kwaba khona ubumnyama phezu komhlaba wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Ngehola lesificamunwemunye uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi, "Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabaktani?" Okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungitshiyeleni?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah.
Labanye kwababemi khona besizwa bathi: Khangelani, ubiza uElija.
36 And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down.
Wasegijima omunye, wagcwalisa uzipho ngeviniga, waluhloma emhlangeni, wamnika ukuthi anathe, esithi: Yekelani, sibone uba uElija uzakuza amethule.
37 And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
UJesu wasememeza ngelizwi elikhulu waphefumula okokucina.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
Leveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa laba zincezu ezimbili laqala phezulu lisiya phansi.
39 And when the centurion, which stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
Kwathi induna yekhulu eyayimi maqondana laye ibona ukuthi ukhale njalo, waphefumula okokucina, yathi: Ngeqiniso lumuntu ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
40 And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom [were] both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
Kwakukhona labesifazana bebukele bekhatshana, okwakukhona phakathi kwabo loMariya Magadalena, loMariya unina kaJakobe omncinyane lokaJose, loSalome,
41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
(labo abamlandela, eseseGalili, bamsebenzela), labanye abesifazana abanengi abenyukela eJerusalema laye.
42 And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Kwathi sekuhlwile, ngoba kwakungamalungiselelo, okuyikuthi usuku phambi kwesabatha,
43 there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honourable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
wafika uJosefa owayevela eArimathiya, ilunga elihloniphekayo lomphakathi, owayelindele laye umbuso kaNkulunkulu; wangena ngesibindi kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu.
44 And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
UPilatu wasemangala ngokuthi usefile; wabizela kuye induna yekhulu, wayibuza ukuthi kambe sekuyisikhathi efile.
45 And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
Esazisiwe yinduna yekhulu, wamnika uJosefa isidumbu.
46 And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
Wasethenga ilembu elicolekileyo, wamethula, wamgoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo, wambeka engcwabeni elaligujwe edwaleni; wagiqela ilitshe emnyango wengcwaba.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of Joses beheld where he was laid.
Futhi uMariya Magadalena loMariya unina kaJose babona lapho abekwe khona.
