Mateo 27
1 Guero goiça ethorri cenean, conseillu eduqui ceçaten Sacrificadore principal eta populuco Anciano guciéc Iesusen contra, hura heriotara eman leçatençat.
At daybreak all the Chief Priests and the Councillors of the Nation consulted together against Jesus, to bring about his death.
2 Eta estecaturic eraman ceçaten, eta liura cieçoten Pontio Pilate gobernadoreari.
They put him in chains and led him away, and gave him up to the Roman Governor, Pilate.
3 Orduan Iudasec, hura traditu çuenac, çacussanean hura condemnatu cela vrriquituric, itzul cietzén hoguey eta hamar diruäc Sacrificadore principaley eta Ancianoey.
Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that Jesus was condemned, repented of what he had done, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the Chief Priests and Councillors.
4 Cioela, Bekatu eguin dut, odol innocentaren traditzeaz. Baina hec erran ceçaten, Cer dohacu guri? hic dacussála.
“I did wrong in betraying a good man to his death,” he said. “What has that to do with us?” they replied. “You must see to that yourself.”
5 Eta diruäc iraitziric templean, retira cedin, eta ioanic, vrka ceçan bere buruä.
Judas flung down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and left; and went away and hanged himself.
6 Orduan Sacrificadore principalec diruäc harturic erran ceçaten, Ezta sori hauc thesaurean eçar ditecen, ecen odol precioa da.
The Chief Priests took the pieces of silver, but they said: “We must not put them into the Temple treasury, because they are blood-money.”
7 Eta conseillu harturic, eros ceçaten heçaz topinaguile baten landá estrangeren ohortz leku.
So, after consultation, they bought with them the ‘Potter’s Field’ for a burial-ground for foreigners;
8 Halacotz deithu içan da landa hura, odol-landa, egungo egunerano.
and that is why that field is called the ‘Field of Blood’ to this very day.
9 Orduan compli cedin Hieremias prophetáz erran içan cena, cioela, Eta hartu vkan dituzté hoguey eta hamar diruäc, estimatu içan denaren precioa, cein estimatu içan baita Israeleco haourréz:
Then it was that these words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled — ‘They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom some of the people of Israel valued,
10 Eta eman dituzte hec tupinaguile baten landaren erosteco, Iaunac niri ordenatu cerautan beçala.
and gave them for the Potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.’
11 Eta Iesus eraman cedin Gobernadorearen aitzinera, eta interroga ceçan Gobernadoreac, cioela, Hi aiz Iuduén Reguea? Iesusec erran cieçón, Hic dioc.
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. “Are you the King of the Jews?” asked the Governor. “It is true,” answered Jesus.
12 Eta accusatu içanic Sacrificadore principaléz eta Ancianoéz, deus etzeçan ihardets.
While charges were being brought against him by the Chief Priests and Councillors, Jesus made no reply.
13 Orduan diotsa Pilatec, Eztançuc cembat gauça hire contra testificatzen duten?
Then Pilate said to him: “Do not you hear how many accusations they are making against you?”
14 Eta etzieçón ihardets hitz batetara-ere: hala non miresten baitzuen Gobernadoreac haguitz.
Yet Jesus made no reply — not even a single word; at which the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 Bada bestán costumatu çuen Gobernadoreac populuari beréc nahi çutén presoner baten largatzera.
Now, at the Feast, the Governor was accustomed to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might choose.
16 Eta orduan baçutén presoner notablebat, Barabbas deitzen cenic.
At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Bildu ciradenean bada hec, erran ciecén Pilatec, Cein nahi duçue larga dieçaçuedan? Barabbas, ala Iesus, deitzen dena Christ?
So, when the people had collected, Pilate said to them: “Which do you wish me to release for you? Barabbas? Or Jesus who is called ‘Christ’?”
18 Ecen baceaquian inuidiaz hura liuratu çutela.
For he knew that it was out of jealousy that they had given Jesus up to him.
19 Eta hura alki iudicialean iarriric cegoela, igor cieçón bere emazteac, cioela, Eztuála hic deus iusto horrequin, ecen anhitz iragan diat egun ametsetaric horrengatic.
While he was still on the Bench, his wife sent this message to him — “Do not have anything to do with that good man, for I have been very unhappy to-day in a dream on account of him.”
20 Orduan Sacrificadore principaléc eta Ancianoéc burutan eman cieçoten populuari Barabbasen esca litecen, eta Iesus hil eraci leçaten.
But the Chief Priests and the Councillors persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to kill Jesus.
21 Eta ihardesten çuela Gobernadoreac erran ciecén, Biotaric cein nahi duçue larga dieçaçuedan? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Barabbas.
The Governor, however, said to them: “Which of these two do you wish me to release for you?” “Barabbas,” they answered.
22 Erran ciecén Pilatec, Cer eguinen dut beraz Iesusez Christ deitzen denaz? Diotsate guciéc, Crucifica bedi.
“What then,” Pilate asked, “shall I do with Jesus who is called ‘Christ?’ “Let him be crucified,” they all replied.
23 Eta Gobernadoreac dioste, Baina cer gaizqui eguin du? Orduan hec ohiu guehiago eguiten çutén, erraiten çutela, Crucifica bedi.
“Why, what harm has he done?” he asked. But they kept shouting furiously: “Let him be crucified!”
24 Eta ikussiric Pilatec ecen etzuela deus probetchatzen, baina tumultoa handitzenago cela, vr harturic ikuz citzan escuac populuaren aitzinean, cioela, Innocent naiz ni iusto hunen odoletic: çuec ikussaçue.
When Pilate saw that his efforts were unavailing, but that, on the contrary, a riot was beginning, he took some water, and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying as he did so: “I am not answerable for this bloodshed; you must see to it yourselves.”
25 Eta ihardesten çuela populu guciac erran ceçan, Horren odola dela gure gainean eta gure haourren gainean.
And all the people answered: “His blood be on our heads and on our children’s!”
26 Orduan larga ciecén Barabbas: eta Iesus açotaturic liura ciecén crucifica ledinçát.
The Pilate released Barabbas to them; but Jesus he scourged, and gave him up to be crucified.
27 Orduan gobernadorearen gendarmeséc eramanic Iesus pretoriora, bil ceçaten haren aitzinera banda gucia.
After that, the Governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Government House, and gathered the whole garrison round him.
28 Eta billuci çutenean eman cieçoten soinera escarlatazco mantobat.
They stripped him, and put on him a red military cloak,
29 Eta elhorrizco coroabat plegaturic eçar ceçaten haren buru gainean, eta canaberabat haren escuinean: eta haren aitzinean belhauricatuz truffatzen ciraden harçaz erraiten çutela, Vngui hel daquiala, Iuduen Regueá.
and having twisted some thorns into a crown, put it on his head, and a rod in his right hand, and then, going down on their knees before him, they mocked him. “Long life to you, King of the Jews!” they said.
30 Eta thu eguinic haren contra, har ceçaten canabera hura, eta haren buruäri ceraunsaten.
They spat at him and, taking the rod, kept striking him on the head;
31 Guero harçaz truffatu ciradenean, eraunz cieçoten mantoa, eta vezti ceçaten bere abillamenduez: eta eraman ceçaten crucificatzera.
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the military cloak, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to be crucified.
32 Eta ilki ciradenean eriden ceçaten guiçon Cyreniano Simon deitzen cembat: haur bortcha ceçaten haren crutzearen eramaitera.
As they were on their way out, they came upon a man from Cyrene of the name of Simon; and they compelled him to go with them to carry the cross.
33 Eta ethorri ciradenean Golgotha deitzen den lekura (cein erran nahi baita hambat nola bur-heçur lekua)
On reaching a place named Golgotha (a place named from its likeness to a skull),
34 Eman cieçoten vinagre edatera behaçunarequin nahastecaturic: eta dastatu çuenean etzuen edan nahi vkan.
they gave him some wine to drink which had been mixed with gall; but after tasting it, Jesus refused to drink it.
35 Eta crucificatu çutenean parti citzaten haren abillamenduac, çorthe egotziric: compli ledinçát Prophetáz erran cena, Partitu vkan dituzte ene abillamenduac, eta ene arroparen gainean çorthe egotzi vkan duté.
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among them by casting lots.
36 Eta iarriric ceudela beguiratzen çutén hurá han.
Then they sat down, and kept watch over him there.
37 Eta eçar ceçaten haren buru garayan haren causá scribaturic, HAVR DA IESVS IVDVEN REGVEA.
Above his head they fixed the accusation against him written out — ‘THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
38 Orduan crucificatu içan dirade harequin bi gaichtaguin bata escuinetic eta bercea ezquerretic.
At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.
39 Eta iragaiten ciradenéc iniuriatzen çuten hura, bere buruäc higuitzen cituztela,
The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads as they said:
40 Eta cioitela, Hic templea deseguiten duanorrec, eta hirur egunez edificatzen, empara eçac eure buruä: baldin Iaincoaren Semea bahaiz, iauts adi crutzetic.
“You who ‘destroy the Temple and build one in three days,’ save yourself! If you are God’s Son, come down from the cross!”
41 Halaber Sacrificadore principaléc-ere truffatzen ciradela Scribequin eta Ancianoequin, erraiten çutén.
In the same way the Chief Priests, with the Teaches of the Law and Councillors, said in mockery:
42 Berceac emparatu ditu, bere buruä ecin empara diro: baldin Israeleco Regue bada, iauts bedi orain crutzetic, eta sinhetsiren dugu hori.
“He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the ‘King of Israel’! Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 Fida da Iaincoa baithan, empara beça orain, baldin haren gogaraco bada: ecen erran du, Iaincoaren Semea naiz.
He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said ‘I am God’s Son.’”
44 Hura bera, harequin crucificatu ciraden gaichtaguinec-ere reprotchatzen ceraucaten.
Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, reviled him in the same way.
45 Baina sey orenetaric bedratzi orenetarano lur guciaren gainean ilhumbe eguin cedin.
After mid-day a darkness came over all the country, lasting till three in the afternoon.
46 Eta bedratzi orenén inguruän oihuz iar cedin Iesus ocengui, cioela, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? erran nahi baita, Ene Iaincoa, Ene Iaincoa, ceren abandonnatu nauc?
And about three Jesus called out loudly: “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabacthani” — that is to say, ‘O my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?’
47 Eta han present ciradenetaric batzuc hori ençunic, cioiten, Elias deitzen du hunec.
Some of those standing by heard this, and said: “The man is calling for Elijah!”
48 Eta bertan laster eguinic hetaric batec, eta spongiabat harturic vinagrez betheric, eta eçarriric canabera baten inguruän, edatera eman cieçón.
One of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and, filling it with common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink.
49 Eta bercéc erraiten çuten, Vtzac, dacussagun, eya ethorriren denez Elias horren emparatzera.
But the rest said: “Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.” [However another man took a spear, and pierced his side; and water and blood flowed from it.]
50 Eta orduan Iesusec berriz ocengui oihu eguinic, spiritua renda ceçan.
But Jesus, uttering another loud cry, gave up his spirit.
51 Eta huná, templeco velá erdira cedin bi çathitara, garaitic behererano, eta lurra ikara cedin, eta harriac, erdira citecen.
Suddenly the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were torn asunder,
52 Eta monumentac irequi citecen, eta anhitz Saindu lo ceunçanén gorputzac iaiqui citecen.
the tombs opened, and the bodies of many of God’s People who had fallen asleep rose,
53 Eta monumentetaric ilkiric haren resurrectione ondoan, sar citecen ciuitate saindura, eta aguer cequizquien anhitzi.
and they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.
54 Eta Centenera, eta harequin Iesusen beguirale ceudenac, lur ikaratzea eta eguin içan ciraden gauçác ikussiric, ici citecen haguitz, erraiten çutela, Eguiazqui Iaincoaren Semea cen haur.
The Roman Captain, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed: “This must indeed have been God’s Son!”
55 Han ciraden halaber anhitz emazte vrrundanic beha ceudela, cein iarreiqui içan baitzaizcan Iesusi Galileatic, hura cerbitzatzen çutela.
There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.
56 Hetaric cen, Maria Magdalena, eta Maria Iacquesen eta Iosesen ama, eta Zebedeoren semen amá.
Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebediah’s sons.
57 Eta arrastu cenean, ethor cedin guiçon abratsbat Arimathiatic, Ioseph deitzen cenic, hura-ere Iesusen discipulu içan cen.
When evening had fallen, there came a rich man belonging to Ramah, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.
58 Haur ethor cedin Pilatgana, eta esca cequión Iesusen gorputzaren: orduan mana ceçan Pilatec renda ledin gorputza.
He went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus; upon which Pilate ordered it to be given him.
59 Eta gorputza harturic Iosephec mihisse churi batetan barna eçar ceçan.
So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,
60 Eta eçar ceçan bere monument berri arroca batetan ebaquia çuenean: eta harri handibat monument borthara itzuliric, ioan cedin.
and laid it in his newly-made tomb which he had cut in the rock; and, before he left, he rolled a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.
61 Eta Maria Magdalena eta Maria bercea ciraden han iarriac sepulchre aurkán.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.
62 Eta biharamunean, cein baita Sabbathoaren preparatione ondoan, bil citecen Sacrificadore principalac, eta Phariseuac Pilatgana.
The next day — that is, the day following the Preparation-Day — the Chief Priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said:
63 Erraiten çutela, Iauna, orhoitu gaituc nola abusari harc vici cela erran ceçan, Ondoco heren egunean resuscitaturen naiz.
“Sir, we remember that, during his lifetime, that impostor said ‘I shall rise after three days.’
64 Mana eçac bada beguira dadin sepulchrea heren egunerano, haren discipuluéc gauäz ethorriric, hura ebats ezteçaten, eta populuari derroten, Resuscitatu da hiletaric: eta halaz baitate azquen errorea lehena baino gaichtoago.
So order the tomb to be made secure till the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him, and then say to the people ‘He has risen from the dead,’ when the latest imposture will be worse than the first.”
65 Eta erran ciecén Pilatec, Badituçue goardac: çoazte, segura çaitezte daquiçuen beçala.
“You may have a guard,” was Pilate’s reply; “go and make the tomb as secure as you can.”
66 Hec bada ioanic segura ceçaten sepulchrea, harria ciguilaturic, goardequin.
So they went made the tomb secure, by sealing the stone, in presence of the guard.
