Mateus 26

EGetsemane

36 UJesu wasehamba labafundi bakhe endaweni eyayithiwa yiGetsemane, wasesithi kubo, "Hlalani lapha, mina ngisaya laphayana ukuyakhuleka." 37 Wathatha uPhethro lamadodana kaZebhediya womabili wahamba labo, waseqala ukuhlulukelwa lokukhathazeka. 38 Wasesithi kubo, "Umphefumulo wami ugajelwa lusizi kuze kuthi ngife. Hlalani lapha lilinde lami."

39 Wahamba ibanganyana, wazilahla phansi wathi mbo ngobuso wakhuleka wathi, "Baba, nxa kungenzeka, sengathi inkezo le ingasuswa kimi. Kodwa akungabi yintando yami, kodwa kube yintando yakho."

40 Wasephenduka kubafundi bakhe wabafica belele. Wabuza uPhethro wathi, "Lina madoda kambe kulehlule ukulinda kanye lami okwehola elilodwa nje? 41 Lindani likhuleke ukuze lingaweli ekulingweni. Umoya uyathanda kodwa umzimba ubuthakathaka."

42 Wahamba njalo okwesibili wakhuleka wathi, "Baba wami, nxa kungenzeki ukuthi linkezo isuswe ngaphandle kokuthi ngiyinathe, intando yakho mayenziwe."

43 Wathi esebuya wabafica njalo sebelele, ngoba amehlo abo ayenzima. 44 Ngakho wasebatshiya waphinda wahamba njalo wayakhuleka okwesithathu ephinda into yinye.

45 Wasebuyela kubafundi wathi kubo, "Lilele, liyaphumula na? Khangelani, isikhathi sesisondele, iNdodana yoMuntu isizanikelwa ezandleni zezoni. 46 Phakamani! Kasihambeni! Nangu usesiza onginikelayo."
