Maka 11: 1- 10

11:1	And as they were approaching Jerusalem and Bethania, toward the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
11:2	wasesithi kubo: “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately upon entering there, you will find a colt tied, on which no man has yet sat. Release him and bring him.
11:3	And if anyone will say to you: 'Wenzani?’ Say that the Lord has need of him. And he will immediately send him here.”
11:4	Futhi ephuma, they found the colt tied before the outer gate, at the meeting of two ways. And they untied him.
11:5	And some of those who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing by releasing the colt?”
11:6	And they spoke to them just as Jesus had instructed them. And they permitted them.
11:7	And they led the colt to Jesus. And they placed their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
11:8	Then many spread their garments along the way; but others cut down leafy branches from trees and scattered them on the way.
11:9	And those who went ahead, and those who followed, cried out saying: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who has arrived in the name of the Lord.
11:10	Blessed is the advent of the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!”

UJohane 12: 12- 16

12:12	Khona-ke, ngosuku olulandelayo, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12:13	took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, inkosi yakoIsrayeli!”
12:14	And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
12:15	"Ungesabi, daughter of Zion. Bheka, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
12:16	At first, his disciples did not realize these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things happened to him.

Ukufunda Kwesibili

Saint Paul’s Letter to Philippians 2:6-11

2:6 I-WHO, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized.

2:7 Kunalokho, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.

2:8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.

2:9 Ngenxa yalokhu, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name,

2:10 ukuze, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell,

2:11 and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

14:31	Kodwa waphinde wakhuluma, “Ngisho noma kufanele ngife nawe, Ngeke ngikuphike.” Futhi bonke bakhuluma ngokufanayo futhi.
14:32	Futhi baya endaweni yezwe, ngebizo likaGetsemani. Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe, “Hlala lapha, ngisakhuleka.”

14:54	Kepha uPetru wamlandela ekude, ngisho nasegcekeni lompristi omkhulu. Wayehlezi nezinceku emlilweni otha.
14:55	Nokho ngempela, abaholi babapristi nomkhandlu wonke bafuna ubufakazi ngoJesu, ukuze bamnikele ekufeni, kabatholanga lutho.
14:56	Ngokuba abaningi bakhuluma ubufakazi bamanga ngaye, kodwa ubufakazi babo abuvumelananga.
14:57	Futhi abathile, esukuma, wafakaza amanga ngaye, ethi:

14:59	Nobufakazi babo abuhlangananga.
14:60	Nompristi omkhulu, esukuma phakathi kwabo, wabuza uJesu, ethi, “Awunalutho yini ongaluphendula ngalezi zinto ezilethwa phezu kwakho yilaba?”
14:61	Kodwa wathula wangaphendula. Futhi, umpristi omkhulu wambuza, wasesithi kuye, “Ingabe unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu Obongekayo?”
14:62	Khona uJesu wathi kuye: “Nginguye. Futhi niyobona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene samandla kaNkulunkulu futhi ifika namafu ezulu.”
14:63	Khona-ke umpristi omkhulu, eklebhula izingubo zakhe, kusho: “Kungani sisafuna ofakazi?
14:64	Nikuzwile ukuhlambalaza. Kubonakala kanjani kuwe?” Bamlahla bonke, njengabanecala lokufa.
14:65	Abanye baqala ukumkhafulela, nokummboza ubuso nokumshaya ngezibhakela, nokusho kuye, “Profetha.” Futhi izinceku zamshaya ngezintende zezandla.
14:66	Futhi ngenkathi uPetru esegcekeni ngezansi, kwafika enye yezincekukazi zompristi omkhulu.
14:67	Futhi lapho ebona uPetru otha, amgqolozele, wasesithi: “Nawe wawunoJesu waseNazaretha.”
14:68	Kodwa waphika, ethi, "Angazi futhi angiqondi ukuthi uthini." Waphumela phandle, phambi kwenkantolo; lase likhala iqhude.
14:69	Bese futhi, lapho incekukazi imbona, waqala wathi kwababemi khona, "Ngoba lokhu kungomunye wabo."
14:70	Kodwa waphinda waphika. Futhi emva kwesikhashana, futhi ababemi eduze bathi kuPetru: “Eqinisweni, ungomunye wabo. Kwakho, futhi, ungowaseGalile.”
14:71	Wabe eseqala ukuthuka nokufunga, ethi, “Ngokuba angimazi lo muntu, okhuluma ngaye.”
14:72	Masinyane laphinda lakhala iqhude. UPetru wakhumbula izwi uJesu alishilo kuye, “Iqhude lingakakhali kabili, uzongiphika kathathu.” Futhi waqala ukukhala.

15:1	And immediately in the morning, after the leaders of the priests had taken counsel with the elders and the scribes and the entire council, binding Jesus, they led him away and delivered him to Pilate.
15:2	UPilatu wambuza, “Wena uyinkosi yabaJuda?” Kodwa ekuphenduleni, wathi kuye, “Uyasho.”
15:3	And the leaders of the priests accused him in many things.
15:4	Then Pilate again questioned him, ethi: “Do you not have any response? See how greatly they accuse you.”
15:5	But Jesus continued to give no response, so that Pilate wondered.
15:6	Now on the feast day, he was accustomed to release to them one of the prisoners, whomever they requested.
15:7	But there was one called Barabbas, who had committed murder in the sedition, who was confined with those of the sedition.
15:8	And when the crowd had ascended, they began to petition him to do as he always did for them.
15:9	But Pilate answered them and said, “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”
15:10	For he knew that it was out of envy that the leaders of the priests had betrayed him.
15:11	Then the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
15:12	Kodwa uPilatu, responding again, wathi kubo: “Then what do you want me to do with the king of the Jews?”
15:13	But again they cried out, “Crucify him.”
15:14	Nokho ngempela, Pilate said to them: “Kungani? Ububi bani abenzile?” But they cried out all the more, “Crucify him.”
15:15	Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and he delivered Jesus, having severely scourged him, to be crucified.
15:16	Then the soldiers led him away to the court of the praetorium. And they called together the entire cohort.
15:17	And they clothed him with purple. And platting a crown of thorns, they placed it on him.
15:18	And they began to salute him: “Sawubona, king of the Jews.”
15:19	And they struck his head with a reed, and they spit on him. Futhi eguqa phansi, bamhlonipha.
15:20	And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple, and they clothed him in his own garments. And they led him away, so that they might crucify him.
15:21	And they compelled a certain passerby, Simon the Cyrenian, who was arriving from the countryside, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to take up his cross.
15:22	And they led him through to the place called Golgotha, okuchaza, ‘the Place of Calvary.’
15:23	And they gave him wine with myrrh to drink. But he did not accept it.
15:24	And while crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots over them, to see who would take what.
15:25	Now it was the third hour. Basebembethela esiphambanweni.
15:26	And the title of his case was written as: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
15:27	And with him they crucified two robbers: one at his right, and the other at his left.
15:28	And the scripture was fulfilled, okushoyo: “And with the iniquitous he was reputed.”
15:29	And the passersby blasphemed him, shaking their heads and saying, “Ah, you who would destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it,
15:30	save yourself by descending from the cross.”
15:31	And similarly the leaders of the priests, mocking him with the scribes, said to one another: “Wasindisa abanye. He is not able to save himself.
15:32	Let the Christ, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, descend now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.
15:33	And when the sixth hour arrived, a darkness occurred over the entire earth, kuze kube yihora lesishiyagalolunye.
15:34	And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ethi, “Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani?” which means, "Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, why have you forsaken me?”
15:35	And some of those standing near, ekuzweni lokhu, kusho, “Bheka, he is calling Elijah.”
15:36	Then one of them, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and placing it around a reed, gave it to him to drink, ethi: “Wait. Let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.”
15:37	Khona-ke uJesu, having emitted a loud cry, expired.
15:38	And the veil of the temple was torn in two, from the top to the bottom.
15:39	Then the centurion who stood opposite him, seeing that he had expired while crying out in this way, kusho: “Impela, this man was the Son of God.”
15:40	Now there were also women watching from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome,
15:41	(and while he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him) and many other women, who had ascended along with him to Jerusalem.
15:42	And when evening had now arrived (because it was the Preparation Day, which is before the Sabbath)
15:43	there arrived Joseph of Arimathea, a noble council member, who himself was also awaiting the kingdom of God. And he boldly entered to Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus.
15:44	But Pilate wondered if he had already died. And summoning a centurion, he questioned him as to whether he was already dead.
15:45	And when he had been informed by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
15:46	Khona-ke uJosefa, having bought a fine linen cloth, and taking him down, wrapped him in the fine linen and laid him in a sepulcher, which was hewn from a rock. And he rolled a stone to the entrance of the tomb.
15:47	Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph observed where he was laid.
