Kuvuka kwaJesu ekufeni
1Ekuseni kuseluvivi ngeliSontfo, lilanga lekucala evikini, bafati baya ethuneni baphetse emakha lababewalungisile. 2Bakhandza litje ligicitelwe eceleni kwemnyango welithuna, 3kodvwa batsi nabangena ekhatsi abazange basikhandze sidvumbu seNkhosi Jesu. 4Bema bangacondzisisi kahle ngaloku, batsi betfuka, kwase kume eceleni kwabo emadvodza lamabili embetse tingubo letikhatimulako. 5Ngekwesaba lokukhulu labafati bakhotsama, lamadvodza ase atsi kubo: “Nimfunelani lophilako kulabafile? 6Akekho lapha; sewuvukile. Khumbulani kutsi watsini kini ngesikhatsi aseseGalile nakatsi: 7‘INdvodzana yeMuntfu kufanele inikelwe etandleni tetoni, ibetselwe esiphambanweni, bese iyavuswa ngelilanga lesitsatfu.’ ”
8Labafati base bayawakhumbula emagama aJesu. 9Besuka ethuneni, bayawutjela bafundzi bakhe labali-11, nalabanye. 10Labafati kwakunguMariya waseMagdala, naJwana, naMariya, unina waJakobe; bona nalabanye bafati lababenabo befika babikela baphostoli ngaloko. 11Kodvwa baphostoli bayitsatsa lenkhulumo yalabafati ngekutsi bayabhedza, bangete bakukholwa loko.
12Kodvwa Phetro wasukuma wagijima waya ethuneni. Wagobondzela, wahlola, wabona timphahla letatigocote sidvumbu kuphela. Wase uyancandzeka ubuyela ekhaya, amangele ngaloko kwakwentekile.
Luhambo lwekuya e-Emawusi
13Ngalo lona lelo langa bafundzi lababili babehamba baya edolobhaneni i-Emawusi, lelingaba ngemakhilometha lali-11 kusuka eJerusalema. 14Babehamba bakhulumisana ngato tonkhe leto tintfo letatentekile. 15Batsi basacoca, Jesu wasondzela kubo, wahambisana nabo. 16Bambona, kodvwa abatanga kutsi ungubani. 17Jesu watsi kubo: “Yini lena lenihambe nikhulumisana ngayo?”
Bema babukeka badzabukile. 18Lomunye wabo, kunguKleyophase, wambuta watsi: “Usho kutsi nguwe wedvwa yini sihambi lapha eJerusalema lesingati lokwentekile kulamalangana lendlulile?”
19Wabuta watsi: “Tintfo tini?”
Baphendvula batsi: “Loko lokwenteke ngaJesu waseNazaretha, labeyindvodza lengumphrofethi lonemandla ngetento nangemavi, embikwaNkulunkulu nebantfu bonkhe, 20nekutsi baphristi betfu labakhulu nebabusi banikela kutsi abulawe, base bambetsela esiphambanweni. 21Kantsi besetsemba kutsi nguye labetawukhulula ema-Israyeli. Lamuhla selilanga lesitsatfu loku kwentekile. 22Futsi ngetulu kwaloko labanye bafati balelicembu lakitsi basetfusile; ngobe bahambe kuseluvivi baya ethuneni, 23kodvwa bakhandze sidvumbu sesingekho. Babuye bafike batsi kubonakaliswe tingilosi kubo letibatjele kutsi uvukile, uyaphila. 24Labanye betfu babese baya ethuneni bakhandza kunjengobe kusho labafati, kodvwa abazange bambone.”
25Jesu wase utsi kubo: “Maye, nilibele, nekukholwa kwenu kubutsakatsaka ekwemukeleni loko lokwashiwo baphrofethi! 26Kwakungadzingeki yini kutsi loKhristu ahlupheke ngalendlela bese ungena ebukhosini bakhe?”
27Jesu wase uyabachazela ngako konkhe lokwakuphatselene naye emiBhalweni, kusukela etincwadzini taMosi netebaphrofethi.
28Base basondzele kulomuti labebaya kuwo, Jesu washaya sengatsi uyendlula, 29kodvwa bamcela batsi: “Hlala natsi sekuhlwile, futsi sekumnyama.”
Ngako wangena wahlala nabo. 30Nasekudliwa, watsatsa sinkhwa, wasibusisa, wase uyasihlephula, sewuyabanika. 31Kwase kuyabakhanyela, bacondzisisa kutsi ngubani; kodvwa wase uyanyamalala, bangabe basambona. 32Babutana bodvwana batsi: “Angitsi sivele satsintseka etinhlitiyweni tetfu ngesikhatsi akhuluma asichazela imiBhalo endleleni?”
33Basukuma ngaso leso sikhatsi bancandzeka baya eJerusalema, lapho bakhandza khona bafundzi labali-11 nalabanye bandzawonye, 34bafike batjelwa kutsi: “INkhosi ivuke ngempela! Simoni uyibonile!”
35Nalaba lababili base bayachaza ngaloko lokwakwenteke emgwacweni, nekutsi baze babona kutsi ngiyo iNkhosi ngekuhlephula kwayo sinkhwa.
Jesu utibonakalisa kubafundzi bakhe
36Batsi basakhuluma loko, iNkhosi Jesu yema emkhatsini wabo yatsi: “Kuthula akube kini!”
37Kodvwa bona besaba kakhulu batfutfumela, bacabanga kutsi sipoko. 38Yena watsi kubo: “Netfuswa yini kangaka? Ningabatelani etinhlitiyweni tenu? 39Ase nibheke tandla netinyawo tami nibone lokutsi ngimi cobo. Ngitsintseni, nitewubona, ngobe phela sipoko asinawo ematsambo nenyama, njengobe ningibona mine nginako.” [ 40Watsi kube asho njalo, wase ubakhombisa tandla takhe netinyawo takhe.]
41Bajinge bangete bakholwa, ngobe babejabulile, bamangele kakhulu; ngako wase uyababuta utsi: “Kukhona yini lokudliwako lapha?”
42Bamnika licatsa lenyama yenhlanti leyayosiwe, 43walitsatsa walidla embikwabo.
44Wase utsi kubo: “Ngito-ke letintfo lenganginitjela tona ngisenani, kutsi konkhe lokubhaliwe ngami emtsetfweni waMosi, nasemiBhalweni yebaphrofethi, naseTihlabelelweni bekufanele kugcwaliseke.”
45Wase uvula tingcondvo tabo, kuze bacondzisise imiBhalo. 46Watsi kubo: “Naku lokubhaliwe kutsi Khristu ufanele kuhlupheka abulawe abuye avuswe ekufeni ngelilanga lesitsatfu, 47nekutsi egameni lakhe kumelwe kushunyayelwe etiveni tonkhe kuphendvuka kube kutsetselelwa kwetono, kucalwe eJerusalema. 48Nine nibofakazi baletintfo. 49Mine-ke ngiyawunitfumelela sipho lesetsenjiswa nguBabe; kodvwa hlalani eJerusalema, nize nemukeliswe emandla lavela ngetulu.”
Jesu wenyukela ezulwini
50Wase uphuma nabo, wabahola, waze wefika eBhetani, waphakamisa tandla takhe, wababusisa. 51Asababusisa, watsatfwa kubo [wenyuselwa ezulwini.] 52Bamdvumisa, base babuyela eJerusalema banekujabula lokukhulu; 53sonkhe sikhatsi basicitsa ethempelini babonga Nkulunkulu.
