Matayo 27
1 Awo obudde bwe bwakya, bakabona abakulu bonna n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne beeyongera okukuŋŋaana ne bateeseza wamu balabe ekkubo lye banaayitamu okutta Yesu.
And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.
2 Ne bamusiba, ne bamuweereza ewa Piraato eyali gavana Omuruumi.
And having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Awo Yuda, eyali amuliddemu olukwe, bwe yalaba nga Yesu bamusalidde omusango gwa kufa, n’azzaayo ebitundu amakumi asatu ebya ffeeza eri bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya,
Then Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4 ng’agamba nti, “Nnyonoonye, kubanga ndiddemu olukwe omusaayi ogutalina musango.” Naye ne bamuddamu nti, “kyo kitukwatako kitya? Ezo nsoga zo.”
saying, I have sinned [in] having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou [to that].
5 Kyeyava addira ensimbi eza ffeeza n’aziyiwa mu Yeekaalu n’afuluma n’agenda yeetuga!
And having cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, he left the place, and went away and hanged himself.
6 Bakabona abakulu ne balondalondawo ensimbi eza ffeeza, ne bagamba nti, “Kya muzizo okuzissa mu ggwanika lya yeekaalu kubanga muwendo gwa musaayi.”
And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, It is not lawful to cast them into the Corban, since it is [the] price of blood.
7 Bwe baamala okukikubaganyaako ebirowoozo, ne basalawo okuzigulamu ennimiro ababumbi mwe baggyanga ebbumba. Ne bateesa ennimiro eyo okugifuula ekifo eky’okuziikangamu abagwira.
And having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter for a burying-ground for strangers.
8 Kyebaava batuuma ennimiro eyo, “Ennimiro y’Omusaayi” n’okutuusa leero.
Wherefore that field has been called Blood-field unto this day.
9 Kino ne kituukiriza nnabbi Yeremiya bye yayogera nti, “Baddira ebitundu bya ffeeza amakumi asatu, nga gwe muwendo abaana ba Isirayiri gwe baamulamula,
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom [they who were] of the sons of Israel had set a price on,
10 ne bagulamu ennimiro eyali ey’ababumbi, nga Mukama bwe yalagira.”
and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as [the] Lord commanded me.
11 Awo Yesu bwe yayimirira mu maaso ga gavana, Omuruumi, gavana n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Okyogedde.”
But Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.
12 Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bwe baaleeta ensonga zaabwe ze baasinziirako okumuwawaabira, Yesu teyabaanukula.
And when he was accused of the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing.
13 Piraato kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Ebyo byonna bye bakwogerako tobiwulira?”
Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14 Naye Yesu n’ataddamu kigambo na kimu, era gavana ne kimwewuunyisa nnyo.
And he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly.
15 Gavana yalina empisa ey’okusumulula omusibe omu mu kiseera eky’Embaga y’Okuyitako, ng’omusibe oyo abantu be baamweronderanga.
Now at [the] feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whom they would.
16 Mu kkomera mwalimu kkondo lukulwe ng’erinnya lye ye Balaba.
And they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.
17 Awo Piraato n’abuuza ekibiina ekyali kikuŋŋaanye nti, “Mwagala mbasumululire ani, Balaba oba Yesu, ayitibwa Kristo?”
They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?
18 Kubanga yamanya ng’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bamuwaddeyo lwa buggya.
For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.
19 Piraato yali akyali wakati mu musango ogwo, mukazi we n’amutumira n’obubaka buno nti, “Toba na nsonga na musajja oyo omutuukirivu kubanga natawaanyizibbwa n’ekirooto eky’omuntu oyo.”
But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous [man]; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.
20 Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne basendasenda ebibiina basabeyo Balaba y’aba ateebwa, naye Yesu attibwe.
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 Gavana bwe yaddamu okubabuuza nti, “Ku bano bombi mbateereko aluwa?” Ekibiina kyonna ne kiddamu nti, “Balaba!”
And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
22 Piraato n’ababuuza nti, “Kale Yesu, ayitibwa Kristo, mukole ntya?” buli omu n’addamu nti, “Akomererwe!”
Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.
23 Piraato n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki, kiki ky’asobezza?” Naye bo ne beeyongera kuleekaanira waggulu nti, “Akomererwe!”
And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 Awo Piraato bwe yalaba ng’ensoga talina gy’aziraza, ate ng’ebibiina byagala kusasamala, n’atumya amazzi, n’anaaba engalo ze mu maaso g’ekibiina nga bw’agamba nti, “Nze siriiko musango gwonna olw’omusaayi gw’omuntu ono omulungi. Obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna buli ku mmwe!”
And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see ye [to it].
25 Abantu bonna ne baanukula nti, “Omusaayi gwe gubeere ku ffe ne ku baana baffe!”
And all the people answering said, His blood [be] on us and on our children.
26 Awo Piraato n’asumulula Balaba n’abamuwa. Naye bwe yamala okukuba Yesu embooko n’amuwaayo bamukomerere.
Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged [him], he delivered up that he might be crucified.
27 Naye abaserikale baasooka kumutwala mu luggya lw’olubiri, oluyitibwa Pulayitoliyo ne bakuŋŋaanira eyo, ne bayita bannaabwe bonna.
Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with [them] to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,
28 Awo ne bamwambulamu engoye ze, ne bamwambaza ekyambalo ekimyufu,
and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;
29 ne bakola engule mu maggwa ne bagimutikkira, ne bamukwasa olumuli mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo. Ne bamufukaamirira nga bamuduulira nti, “Mirembe, Kabaka w’Abayudaaya!”
and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 Ne bamuwandira amalusu, ne bamusikako olumuli ne balumukubya ku mutwe.
And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat [him] on his head.
31 Eby’okumuduulira bwe byaggwa, ne bamwambulamu ekyambalo ekimyufu, ne bamwambaza ekyambalo kye ekya bulijjo, ne balyoka bamufulumya okumutwala okumukomerera.
And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.
32 Bwe baali nga bagenda gye banaamukomerera, ne basisinkana omusajja omukuleene, erinnya lye nga ye Simooni, ne bamulagira lwa maanyi yeetikke omusaalaba gwa Yesu.
And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go [with them] that he might bear his cross.
33 Bwe baatuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Gologoosa, amakulu nti, “Akasozi k’Ekiwanga,”
And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,
34 ne bawa Yesu wayini atabuddwamu omususa, naye bwe yakombako n’amugaana.
they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted [it], he would not drink.
35 Bwe baamala okumukomerera, abaserikale ne bagabana ebyambalo bye nga babikubira akalulu.
And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots.
36 Bwe batyo ne batuula awo nga bamukuuma.
And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.
37 Ne bawanika ekipande waggulu w’omutwe gwe ku musaalaba okuwandiikiddwa nti, “Ono ye Yesu, Kabaka w’Abayudaaya.”
And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.
38 Waaliwo n’abanyazi babiri abaakomererwa naye omu ku ddyo, n’omulala ku kkono.
Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
39 Awo abantu abaali bayitawo, ne bamuvuma nga bamunyeenyeza emitwe
But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads
40 nga bwe bagamba nti, “Wagamba okumenya Yeekaalu, ate ogizimbe mu nnaku ssatu! Weerokole okke wansi okuva ku musaalaba, obanga ggwe Mwana wa Katonda.”
and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.
41 Bakabona abakulu n’abawandiisi, n’abakulembeze abalala ne bamuduulira, nga bagamba nti,
[And] in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 “Yalokolanga balala, naye ye tasobola kwerokola! Kale nga bw’ali Kabaka wa Isirayiri, ave ku musaalaba akke wansi, naffe tunaamukkiriza!
He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.
43 Yeesiga Katonda, kale amuggye ku musaalaba obanga Katonda amwagala. Yagamba nti, ‘Ndi Mwana wa Katonda.’”
He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will [have] him. For he said, I am Son of God.
44 N’abanyazi ababiri abaakomererwa awamu naye nabo ne bamuvuma.
And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.
45 Okuviira ddala ku ssaawa mukaaga mu ttuntu okutuusiza ddala essaawa mwenda ez’olweggulo ensi yonna yabikkibwa ekizikiza.
Now from [the] sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;
46 Ku ssaawa nga mwenda Yesu n’ayogerera waggulu n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Eri, Eri lama sabakusaani,” ekitegeeza nti, “Katonda wange, Katonda wange, lwaki onjabulidde?”
but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Naye abamu ku baali bayimiridde awo bwe baakiwulira ne bagamba nti, “Ayita Eriya.”
And some of those who stood there, when they heard [it], said, This [man] calls for Elias.
48 Amangwago omu n’adduka n’addira ekyangwe n’akinnyika mu mwenge omukaatuufu n’akiteeka ku muti, n’akimuwa anuuneko.
And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled [it] with vinegar and fixed [it] on a reed, gave him to drink.
49 Naye abalala ne bagamba nti, “Mumuleke. Ka tulabe obanga Eriya anajja n’amulokola.”
But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.
50 Awo Yesu ne yeeyongera okwogerera waggulu n’eddoboozi eddene, n’awaayo omwoyo gwe.
And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
51 Era laba! Eggigi ly’omu Yeekaalu ne liyulikamu wakati okuva waggulu okutuuka wansi; ensi n’ekankana, n’enjazi ne zaatika.
And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,
52 Entaana ne zibikkuka era abantu ba Katonda bangi abaali bafudde ne bazuukira,
and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,
53 era Yesu bwe yamala okuzuukira ne bava mu ntaana gye baali baziikiddwa ne bayingira mu kibuga ekitukuvu ne balabibwa abantu bangi.
and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.
54 Omuserikale omukulu w’ekibinja ky’abaserikale ekikumi, n’abaserikale abaali bakuuma Yesu, bwe baalaba okukankana kw’ensi ng’okwa musisi, n’ebirala ebyabaawo, ne batya nnyo. Ne bagamba nti, “Ddala ddala ono abadde Mwana wa Katonda.”
But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this [man] was Son of God.
55 Waaliwo n’abakazi bangi abaayitanga ne Yesu abaava naye e Ggaliraaya nga bamuweereza, baali beesuddeko akabanga, nga balaba ebigenda mu maaso.
And there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him,
56 Mu bo mmwe mwali Maliyamu Magudaleene ne Maliyamu nnyina wa Yakobo ne Yusufu, ne nnyina w’abaana ba Zebbedaayo.
among whom was Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Obudde bwe bwawungeera, ne wajja omusajja omugagga ng’ava Alimasaya, erinnya lye Yusufu eyali omu ku bagoberezi ba Yesu.
Now when even was come there came a rich man of Arimathaea, his name Joseph, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus.
58 N’agenda eri Piraato n’asabayo omulambo gwa Yesu. Piraato n’alagira bagumuwe.
He, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 Yusufu n’atwala omulambo n’aguzinga mu lugoye olulungi olwa linena,
And Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 n’agugalamiza mu ntaana ye empya gye yatema mu lwazi, n’addira ejjinja eddene n’aliyiringisiza mu mulyango gw’entaana n’aggalawo, ne yeetambulira.
and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.
61 Maliyamu Magudaleene ne Maliyamu munne, bombi baali batudde awo kumpi n’entaana.
But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.
62 Enkeera, ng’olunaku olusooka mu nnaku z’Embaga y’Okuyitako luweddeko, bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo ne bagenda eri Piraato,
Now on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,
63 ne bamugamba nti, “Oweekitiibwa, omulimba oli tujjukira ng’akyali mulamu yagamba nti, ‘Nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu ndizuukira.’
saying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.
64 Noolwekyo tukusaba olagire entaana ye ekuumibwe, okutuusa ku lunaku olwokusatu, abayigirizwa be baleme kumubbamu, ne balyoka bategeeza abantu nti azuukidde! Singa ekyo kiba bwe kityo, ekyo kye kijja okuba ekibi ennyo okusinga n’ekyasooka.”
Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.
65 Piraato n’abaddamu nti, “Mukozese abaserikale bammwe be mulina mugende mugikuume.”
And Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, secure it as well as ye know how.
66 Bwe batyo ne bateeka akabonero ak’envumbo ku jjinja eryaggala omulyango gw’entaana, ne bateekawo n’abakuumi.
And they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch [besides].
