U-Kristu U-Msindisi Wetu

ISAHLUKO 18—PAMBI KO-ANNAS, CAIPHAS KWA NE BHUNGA-LAMA-JUDA

U-YESU walandelwa ukusuka kulowo myezo we Getsemani libubu elalihamba libomboloza. Waye hamba ehlungiseka, ngokuba izandla Zake zazibotshwe ngokuqinileyo, Wabe-ke engqingwe ngokuxineneyo. Wasiwa kuqala endlwini kaAnnas, owayeke engu-mbingeleli omkulu, koko indawo yake ngoku yayi seyitatwe ngu-mkwenyana wake uCaiphas. KMW 117.1

U-Annas okukohlakala wayecele ukuba u-Yesu umNazarete aqale asiwe kuye engumbanjwa osezintanjeni. Wayetembe ukuzuza Kuye ubunqhina awayengati Amgwebe ngabo. KMW 117.2

Enalo njongo wabuza ku-Msindisi ngabafundi Bake nange mfundiso Yake. U-Kristu wapendula: KMW 117.3

“Ndateta Mna ngokungafihlisiyo kulo ihlabati; Mna Ndahlala ndifundisa endlwini-ye-sikungu, nase tempileni, apo ama-Juda abesakubutelana kona evela kumacala onke, emfihlekweni anditetanga nto.” KMW 117.4

Waza, eguqukela kobe buza, Wati, “Yinina ukuba ubuze-Kum? Buza kwabo bayivileyo into endayiteta kubo.” John 18: 20, 21. KMW 117.5

Ababingeleli nqu-bona babemise o-ntamnani bokulalela u-Kristu baze banike ingxelo yawo onke amazwi Ake. Ngaba ntamnani babezazi inteto Zake kwa-nemisebenzi Yake kwintlanganiso nganye zabantu Abesakuya kuzo. Ontamnani abo babezungula ukumbambisa emazwini Ake, ukuze bafumane nto ababe ngamgweba ngayo. Ngoko u-Msindisi wati, “Buza kwabo bayivileyo into endayiteta kubo.” Yiya ko-ntamnani bako. Bakuvile endakuteta kubo. Banokukuxelela ngobuni bemfundiso Yam. KMW 117.6

Amazwi ka-Kristu aye nokugocagoca etsolile ngangokude u-mbingeleli abe noluvo lokuba lo-mbanjwa wake ufunda umpefumlo (ingcinga) wake kanye. KMW 118.1

Kodwa omnye wabakonzi baka-Annas, ecinga ukuba u-mfundisi wake ubenga nikwanga mbeko iyiyo, wammonxoza u-Yesu ebusweni esiti: KMW 118.2

“Upendula u-mbingeleli omkulu ngolu hlobo?” KMW 118.3

Kulento u-Yesu ngobulali wati: KMW 118.4

“Ukuba nditete kakubi, nqinela ububi obo; kodwa ukuba Nditete kakuhle undibetela-nina?” John 18: 22, 23. KMW 118.5

U-Kristu waye ngabiza imikosi ye-zitunywa zezulu ipume e-Zulwini izokumnceda. Kodwa yayiyi nxalenye yomsebenzi Wake awaye tunywe wona ukuba anyamezele ebuntwin’ obo Bake ukugculelwa konke nocukucezo olwalu ngafunjwa ngabantu pezu Kwake. KMW 118.6

Ukusuka kuleyo ka-Annas indlu, u-Msindisi wasiwa kwi-botwe lika Caiphas. Waye zakuvavanywa pambi kwe-Bhunga-lama-Juda kwaza akubon’ ukuba amalungu alo ahlanganisene onke, O-Annas no-Caiphas babuya ba-Mbuza, kodwa abazuzanga kulungelwa. KMW 118.7

Ati akuhlala amalungu e-Bhunga lama-Juda, u-Caiphas watabata isihlalo so-bengameli. Kwi-cala ngalinye kwakuko abagwebi; ngapambi kwabo ingama soldati obu-Roma esalusa u-Msindisi lowo; emva kwawo iyilombutumbutu emangeleyo. KMW 118.8

Waza-ke u-Caiphas wayalela u-Yesu ukuba enze omnye waleyo mimangaliso Yake mikulu pambi kwabo. Kodwa u-Msindisi akazanga wanika nembonakaliso yokuba uke weva nalizwi kulonto. Ukuba wayeke wapendula nangokunye ukukangela kogocagoco, ngokoko wayenze kubatengi nabatengisi paya etempileni, yonke lo ndimbane ebabulali ngeyesabayo pambi Kwake. KMW 119.1

Ama-Juda ngelixesha ebepantsi kwama-Roma, aye ngena lungelo lakohlwaya mntu ngokumbulala. I-Bhunga-lama-Juda laliqwalasela-nje ityala lo-mbanjwa, lize isigwebo lisigqitisele ukuqinisekiswa ngabase kongameni begunya lobu-Roma. KMW 119.2

Ukupumeza elocebo labo lobubi, babemelwe kukufuna into yokumcasa u-Msindisi engatatwa ngokobapuli-mteto yi-ruluneli yobu-Roma. Babe nokufumana ubunqhina obuninzi bokuba u-Kristu lo wateta ngokucasa izitete zobu-Juda ne mimiselo yawo emininzi. Kwakulula ukunqhina ukuba wanyelisa aba bingeleli naba-bhali nokuba Wababiza ngokuti abahanahanisi naba-bulali. Kodwa lento yayi ngasokupulapulwa ngama-Roma, ngokuba won okwawo aye seleruqukile lunywalazo lwaba Farisi. KMW 119.3

Maninzi amatyala awaye mangalelwa ngawo u-Kristu, koko kwa amanqhina ayengahlangani, okanye ubunqhina babu kwisimo esasinga sokwamkelwa ngamaRoma, Balinga ukumenza atete ngokokupendula ezo zimangalo zabo, koko Wabonakala ngokonga bevanga. Ukuti-cwaka kuka Kristu ngelixesha kwabaliswa ukuba yilento ngum-profeti Yesaya: KMW 119.4

“Wakandaniswa, wabandezelwa, akawuvula noko umlomo Wake: Waqhutywa njenge-mvu esiwa ekuxelweni, nanjenge-mvu esimuma pambi kwabacebi bayo, akawuvula u-mlomo Wake.” Yesaya 53: 7. KMW 120.1

Ababingeleli baqala ukoyika ukuba abaz’ukufumana bunqhina bokummangalela lo-mbanjwa wabo pambi koPilato. Baba noluvo lokuba kuke kwenziwe libe linye ilinga, lokugqibela. Umbingeleli-omkulu wasipakamisela e-Zulwini isandla sokunene sake, wabhekisa ku-Yesu ngalo ndlela yesifungo sondiliseko: KMW 120.2

“Ndikufungisa u-Tixo opilileyo, ukuba usixelele ukuba unguye-na u-Kristu u-Nyana ka-Tixo.” Mateyu 26: 63. KMW 120.3

U-Msindisi akazanga wawukanyela umsebenzi Wake okanye ubalamano Bake ku-Yise. Angad’abe Watula kucukucezo olwalusingisele kwesise Sake isiqu, kodwa wahlal’ eteta ngokupandle nangokuqinisekileyo xa umsebenzi nobu-Nyana-Bake babutandatyuzwa. KMW 120.4

Yonke indlebe yavulelwa ukupulapula, nawo amehlo abo bonke ngamnye agxunyekwa Kuye xa wapendulayo: KMW 120.5

“Uselutshilo nawe.” KMW 120.6

Ngokwesiko laleyo mihla lento yayifana nokupendula ngokuti, “Ewe,” nokuti, “Kunjengoko sowutshilo.” Le yeyona ndlela ezimasekileyo yokomeleza impendulo ewe. KMW 120.7

U-kanyo lwase-zulwini lwakanyisela) obo buso buxwebileyo bo-Msindisi akubon’ ukuba uti: KMW 120.8

“Kodwa-ke Nditi kuni, Emva koku niya kumbonau-Nyana womntu, ehleli ngasekunene kwamandla, esiza esemafini e-Zulu.” Mateyu 26: 64. KMW 120.9

Ngale nteto u-Msindisi Wabeka-pambi-kwabo ingu- qulelo yeso sibonelo esasisenzeka ngoko. Wasingisa kwixesha elizayo xa Ayakutabata isihlalo sokuba ngu-Mgwebi Omkulu wase Zulwini nase-mhlabeni. Uyakuhlala ngoko kweka Yise itroni, kwaye kwe-Sake isigwebo kungasokubako sibheno. Wabeka pambi kwabapulapuli Bake imbonakalo yalowo mhla, xa kuyakuti endaweni yokuba angqongwe agculelwe sisihlwele esipitizelayo, Uyakuza ekuwo amafu e-Zulu enamandla nobuqaqauli obukulu. Ngelo xesha Woba engungwe (epahlwe) yimikosi yezitunywa-zezulu (ingelosi). Ngelo xesha Uya kuwisa isigwebo pezu kwe-ntshaba Zake, ekuya kubako pakati kwazo kwa eso siqu esasi mmangalela. KMW 120.10

Akubon’ ukuba u-Yesu utete amazwi ezixela ukuba ungu-Nyana ka-Tixo, no-Mgwebi wehlabati, u-mbingeleli omkulu wayirazula ingubo yake njengobonisa umotuko wake. Wazipakamisela e-zulwini izandla zake, esiti: KMW 121.1

“Unyelisile; sisawafunela-nina amanqhina? yabonani, ngoku nikuvile ukunyelisa Kwake. Nicinga ntonina nina?” Abagwebi bapendula, “Une tyala lokuba afe.” Mateyu 26: 65, 66. KMW 121.2

Kwaku pambene no-mteto wama-Juda ukuvavanywa ko-mbanjwa ngokuhlwa. Nangona isigwebo sika Kristu sasesigqityiwe, kwakumele ukuhanjwa ngokwesiko lovavanyo emini. KMW 121.3

U-Yesu wasiwa kwigumbi labalindi, waza elapo waba pantsi kokugculelwa kwadlalwa ngaye ngalawo masoldati nayilo-mbutumbutu. KMW 121.4

Ekutini-qip’ukusa Wabuya weziswa pambi kwabagwebi, saza isigqibo esimiyo somgwebo sawiswa. KMW 121.5

Ubujora obubusatana baziwela inkokeli kwa nabantu umgqumo wengxobotshane wafana nowamarancwa. Besuk’ indulumbane pezu ko-Yesu, bebomboloza, “Unetyala, mbulale Yena!” ukuba kwakungeko masoldati, Ngawayenziwe iziqwenga. Kodwa ulaulo lwe-Roma lwalamla, lwaza ngo mkosi oxobileyo lwabutintela uburalarume balo-ndimbane. KMW 122.1

Ababingeleli, abapati ne-mbutumbutu batelelana ngokudlala ngo-Msindisi. Ingubo endala yaposwa pezu kwe-ntloko Yake; nabatshutshisi Bake bambeta ebusweni besiti: KMW 122.2

“Siprofetele Wena Kristu ubetwe ngubanina.” Mateyu 26: 68. KMW 122.3

Xa yasuswayo ingubo, omnye kuleyo ndimbane egculelayo watshicela ebusweni bo-Msindisi. KMW 122.4

Ingelose zika Tixo zabala konke ukukangela kokucukuceza, ilizwi, ne-senzo esasicase lowo Mteteli wazo oyintanda. Ngenye imini wona lawo madoda angendawo awayehlekisa etshicela obobuso buxolileyo buxwebileyo buka-Kristu aya kubukangela buse buqaqaulini babo bukanya bubengezela kune langa. KMW 122.5
