Matthew 26
1 When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
Che Yesu paŵamalisisye kuŵecheta gelego gose, ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao,
2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
“Nkumanyilila kuti pachigamale moŵa gaŵili chichiŵe chindimba cha Pasaka, ni Mwana jwa Mundu chakatyosyekwe kuti aŵambikwe pa nsalaba.”
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
Katema ko achakulu ŵa mbopesi ni achakulu ŵa ŵandu ŵasimene pa nsana wa nyuumba ja Jwankulu Jwambopesi jwaŵilanjikwe che Kayafa.
4 They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.
Ŵajilene ichajile pa kwakamula Che Yesu kwa malindi ni kwaulaga.
5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
Nambo ŵatite chele chindu chinatyochele katema ka lyuŵa lya chindimba cha Pasaka, ngakaŵa chikutyochele kutindiganya pa ŵandu.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Che Yesu paŵaliji ku Besania, ku nyuumba ji che Simoni, juŵalamile matana.
7 a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
Jwankongwe jumo juŵaliji ni chuupa chachikolochekwe ni liganga lya alabasta chachili ni mauta ga kununjila nnope ni ga ndalama jajikulungwa, ŵaichilile Che Yesu paŵatemi kulya chakulya, ŵajitile mauta muntwe.
8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
Ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaiweni yele ŵatumbile, ŵatite, “Awu uwonasi u wa chichi?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
Aga mauta ga ngati gakasumichikwe kwa mbiya jekulungwa, ni kupegwa ŵakulaga.”
10 However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
Che Yesu ŵasimanyilile ng'anisyo syao, ŵaasalile, “Ligongo chi nkunsausya jwankongwe jo? Jwele atesile yambone kukwangu.”
11 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
Ŵakulaga alinji moŵa gose ni ŵanyamwe, nambo une nguuŵa ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose.
12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
Aju jwankongwe ju anyitilile pa chiilu mauta ga kununjila kuti amiche chile kwa masiko gangu.
13 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
Ngunsalila isyene, papali pose pa chilambo pano patachilalichila Ngani Jambone ji, achi chatesile jwankongwe ju chichisalichikwe kwa kunkumbuchila.
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Nipele, che Yuda Isikaliote, jumo jwa likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala, ŵajawile kwa achakulu ŵa mbopesi,
15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
ŵausisye, “Ana chimuumbe ichichi nannyichisyaga Che Yesu kukwenu?” Ŵaŵalanjile ipande selasini ya feza.
16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
Chitandile kele katema ko che Yuda ŵasosaga lipesa lya kwaichisya kukwao.
17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
Lyuŵa limo likanaŵe lyuŵa lya chindimba cha mikate jangatagwa amila, ŵakulijiganya ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ana kwapi nkusaka tukankolochesye chakulya cha Pasaka?”
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
Ŵajanjile, “Njaule mmusi kwa mundu jumpepe, nkansalile, ‘Jwakwiganya akuti, katema kangu kaiche, chindye chakulya cha Pasaka kumangwenu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵangu.’”
19 The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵatesile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu, ŵakolosisye chakulya cha Pasaka.
20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
Ligulo, Che Yesu ŵatemi pakulila chakulya pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili.
21 As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
Paŵalyaga, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ngunsalila isyene, jumo jwenu chakang'alauche.”
22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
Ŵakulijiganya ŵasupwiche nnope, ŵatandite kuusya jumo jumo, “Ambuje! Uli, ndili une?”
23 He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Juchakatoŵele nkate mumbale pampepe ni une jujojo ni juchakang'alauche.
24 The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
Elo, Mwana jwa Mundu chawe mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti pakusala, nambo ulaje kwa jwelejo juchakangalauche Mwana jwa Mundu! Ikaliji mmbaya ngakapagwe jwele mundu jo.”
25 Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
Che Yuda, juŵangalawiche, ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya! Ndili une?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ugwe mmechete.”
26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
Paŵalyaga, Che Yesu ŵaujigele nkate, ŵatogolele Akunnungu, ŵaugaŵenye, ŵapele ŵakulijiganya ŵao achitiji, “Njigale ndye, achi ni chiilu changu.”
27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
Nipele ŵachijigele chikombe cha divai, ŵatogolele, ŵapele achitiji, “Nng'welele achi ŵanawose,
28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
pakuŵa aji ni miasi jangu ja lilangano jajikwitika kwa ligongo lya ŵajinji kwa kwalechelesya sambi.
29 But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
Nambo ngunsalila kuti nguung'wa sooni divai ja sabibu mpaka paching'we jasambano pamo ni ŵanyamwe mu umwenye wa Atati ŵangu.”
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Paŵamasile kwimba lujimbo lwa kulapa, ŵatyosile, ŵajawile kuchikwesya cha Miseituni.
31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile sooni, “Chilo cha lelo jino, ŵanyamwe ŵanawose chinchimwe ni une, pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, ‘Chinampute jwakuchinga ni mpingo wa ngondolo chipwilingane.’
32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
Nambo pachimale kusyuka, chinannongolele ku Galilaya.”
33 But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
Che Petulo ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Nachiŵamuno ŵanawose chachimwe ni mmwe ni kunneka, nambo une ngali pachinanneche.”
34 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
Che Yesu ŵansalile che Petulo, “Ngunsalila isyene, chilo chino jikanaŵe kutongola tambala, chimungane katatu.”
35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
Che Petulo ŵatite, “Iŵaga chingawe pamo nomwe, ngasinankana.” Ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala ŵanawose ŵatite iyoyo.
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
Nipele Che Yesu ŵajawile pamo nawo kwiuto kwakukuŵilanjikwa ku Getesemane, ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Ntame apano une ngwaula ako kukupopela.”
37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
Ŵalongene nawo che Petulo pamo ni ŵanache ŵaŵili ŵa chilume ŵa che Sebedayo, ŵatandite kusupuka nnope ni kulagasika.
38 Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
Pelepo ŵaasalile, “Ngusupuka nnope muntima mpaka chiŵandi kuwa. Ntame apano ni nchesye pamo ni une.”
39 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
Nipele, ŵajawile mmbujo kanandi, ŵagwile manguku, ŵapopele achitiji, “Atati ŵangu, iŵaga ikukomboleka, achi chikombe cha malagasyo chimbite, nambo ngaŵa kwa kusaka une, nambo iŵe mpela inkuti pakusaka mmwe.”
40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
Ŵajaulile ŵakulijiganya ŵala, ŵasimene agonile, ŵaasalile che Petulo, “Ana uli, nganinkombola kuchesya pamo ni une atamuno saa jimope?
41 Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Nchesye ni kupopela kuti nkaika kwinjila nkulinjikwa. Mbumu jikusaka nambo chiilu changali machili.”
42 Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni kaaŵili kukupopela, “Atati ŵangu, iŵaga ngaikomboleka achi chikombe cha malagasyo chipite pangang'welela une, nipele, chinkusaka chitendekwe.”
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Ŵajaulile sooni ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵasimene agonile, pakuŵa meeso gao gatopelwe ni lugono.
44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
Nipele ŵalesile, ŵajawile sooni kukupopela kaatatu kwa maloŵe galagala.
45 Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Nipele ŵajaulile ŵakulijiganya ŵala, ŵaasalile, “Ana uli, chiŵela nli mu lugono ni kupumulila? Nnole katema kasyene kaiche, ni Mwana jwa Mundu chatajikwe mmakono mwa ŵandu ŵa sambi.
46 Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
Njime, twende. Nnole! Akwika jwakuung'alauka.”
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵaliji nkuŵecheta nawo, ŵaiche che Yuda, jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya kumi na mbili ŵala. Pamo nawo ŵaiche ŵandu ŵajinji ali ajigele mapanga ni imbonga ŵaŵatumikwe ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulu ŵa ŵandu.
48 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
Juŵasachile kungalauka Che Yesu jo, ŵapele chimanyisyo kuti, “Juchinankomasye kwa kwakunnonyela ni jujojo, munkamule.”
49 Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
Che Yuda ŵammandichile Che Yesu, ŵaasalile, “Ngunkomasya jwakwiganya!” Nipele ŵankomasisye kwa kwakumbata.
50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ambusanga, ntende chinnyichile.” Pelepo ŵaiche ŵandu ŵala, ŵankamwile Che Yesu ni kwaŵika paasi pa ulamusi wao.
51 Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Jumo jwa ŵaŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu ŵalisolomwele lipanga lyakwe, ŵamputile kapolo jwa Jwankulu Jwambopesi, ŵankatile liwiwi.
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
Pelepo Che Yesu ŵansalile jwejo, “Mmusye upanga wenu mwigonelo mwakwe, pakuŵa jwalijose jwakuulaga ni lipanga, chaulajikwe ni lipanga.
53 Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Uli ana ngankwimanyilila kuti ngukombola kwaŵenda Atati ŵangu ni kuumbelechela kupunda ŵangondo mipingo kumi na mbili ŵa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
Nambo chigamalile chinauli Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti ikuŵajilwa kuwa?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
Katema kakoko Che Yesu ŵausalile mpingo wa ŵandu uŵaiche kukwakamula, “Uli nnyiche kukungamula kwa mapanga ni imbonga mpela ndili mundu jwangangugakamulichisya malajisyo? Moŵa gose naliji pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu njijiganyaga, nambo nganimungamula!
56 But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
Nambo aga gose ga gatendekwe pakuti gamalile malembelo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu.” Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵanawose ŵalesile, ŵatisile.
57 Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
Nipele, ŵele ŵandu ŵaŵankamwile Che Yesu ŵanjawisye ku nyuumba ji che Kayafa juŵaliji Jwankulu Jwambopesi, kuŵasongangene ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni achachekulu.
58 But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
Che Petulo ŵankuiye kwa kutali mpaka mu lutenje lwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu, ŵajinjile nkati pamo ni ŵakulindilila kuti alole ichikatendekwe.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,
Nipele, achakulu ŵambopesi ni nkungulu wose ŵausosile umboni wa unami kuti akombole kumbulaga Che Yesu.
60 and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
Nambo nganapata umboni wauli wose, nachiŵamuno ŵaiche ŵandu ŵajinji ŵa unami. Kumbesi kwakwe ŵaiche ŵandu ŵaŵili.
61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
Ŵatite, “Aju mundu ju ŵatite, ‘Ngukombola kujigumula Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kujitaŵa sooni kwa moŵa gatatu.’”
62 The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵajimi, ŵammusisye Che Yesu, “Ana ngankwanga liloŵe? Ana ŵandu ŵa akummechetela chichi?”
63 But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
Nambo Che Yesu ŵatemi ji. Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵansalile, “Ngunnumbisya kwa Akunnungu ŵaali ŵajumi, ntusalile naga isyene mmwe ni Kilisito, Mwana jwa Akunnungu!”
64 Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Mmwe mmechete! Nambo ngunsalila kuti, chitandile sambano chimumbone Mwana jwa Mundu ali atemi kundyo kwa Ambuje ŵa machili, chimumbone iyoyo achiikaga pa maunde ga kwinani.”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
Pelepo, Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵapapulenye nguo syao, ŵatite, “Ŵatukene Akunnungu! Uli tukuusaka sooni umboni nkati jweleju? Sambano mpilikene yatite pakwatukana Akunnungu.
66 What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
Ŵanyamwe nkuti uli?” Ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Aŵajilwe kuwa!”
67 Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
Nipele ŵansunile mata ku meeso, ŵamputile. Ŵane ŵamputile majanda palijeje,
68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
achitiji, “Nlondole, alakwe Kilisito Jwakuwombola, ŵaani ŵamputile!”
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
Che Petulo ŵatemi paasa mu lutenje. Nipele, jwakutumichila jumo jwankongwe ŵanjaulile, nikuti, “Alakwe mwaliji pampepe ni Che Yesu jwa ku Galilaya.”
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile mmbujo mwa ŵanawose achitiji, “Ngangumanyilila inkuŵecheta yo.”
71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
Paŵakopokaga paasa, katumetume jwine jwankongwe ŵammweni, ŵaasalile uŵaliji pelepo kuti, “Mundu ju ŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti.”
72 Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
Che Petulo ŵakanile sooni kwa kulumbilila, “Ngangummanyilila mundu ju.”
73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
Kanyuma kanandi, ŵandu ŵaŵaliji pelepo ŵajaulile che Petulo, ŵansalile, “Kusyene, mmwe nomwe nli jumo jwakwe, pakuŵa uŵechete wenu ukummanyisya.”
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
Pelepo che Petulo ŵatandite kulumbilila kwakulilwesya achitiji, “Ngangummanyilila mundu ju!” Katema kakoko tambala jatongwele.
75 Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
Che Petulo ŵagakumbuchile maloŵe gaŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu kuti, “Chimungane katatu, jikanaŵe kutongola tambala.” Nipele, ŵatyosile paasa, ŵalisile nnope.
