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 as soon as it was morning all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, how to get Him executed:
2 Ne bamusiba, ne bamuweereza ewa Piraato eyali gavana Omuruumi.
so they bound Him and led Him away, and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the Roman 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 had betrayed Him, when he saw that He was condemned, being struck with remorse, brought back 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, for I have betrayed innocent 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 he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went 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.”
But the chief priests took up the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury of the temple, because 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.
so they consulted together, and bought with them the potter's field for a burying-ground for strangers:
8 Kyebaava batuuma ennimiro eyo, “Ennimiro y’Omusaayi” n’okutuusa leero.
and therefore that field is called the field of blood to 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 by the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was estimated, on whom the children of Israel set the price,
10 ne bagulamu ennimiro eyali ey’ababumbi, nga Mukama bwe yalagira.”
and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
11 Awo Yesu bwe yayimirira mu maaso ga gavana, Omuruumi, gavana n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Okyogedde.”
And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked Him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And Jesus answered him, It is as thou sayest.
12 Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bwe baaleeta ensonga zaabwe ze baasinziirako okumuwawaabira, Yesu teyabaanukula.
And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
13 Piraato kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Ebyo byonna bye bakwogerako tobiwulira?”
Then saith Pilate to Him, Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?
14 Naye Yesu n’ataddamu kigambo na kimu, era gavana ne kimwewuunyisa nnyo.
but He answered him not one word: so that the governor was much astonished.
15 Gavana yalina empisa ey’okusumulula omusibe omu mu kiseera eky’Embaga y’Okuyitako, ng’omusibe oyo abantu be baamweronderanga.
Now the governor used at the feast to release a prisoner to the people, whomsoever they desired:
16 Mu kkomera mwalimu kkondo lukulwe ng’erinnya lye ye Balaba.
and they had then a notorious malefactor named Barabbas.
17 Awo Piraato n’abuuza ekibiina ekyali kikuŋŋaanye nti, “Mwagala mbasumululire ani, Balaba oba Yesu, ayitibwa Kristo?”
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you?
18 Kubanga yamanya ng’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bamuwaddeyo lwa buggya.
Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ? for he knew that out of envy they had delivered Him up.
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.”
(And while he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that righteous man: for I have suffered much in a dream to day on his account.)
20 Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne basendasenda ebibiina basabeyo Balaba y’aba ateebwa, naye Yesu attibwe.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the common people to ask for Barabbas, and so to destroy Jesus.
21 Gavana bwe yaddamu okubabuuza nti, “Ku bano bombi mbateereko aluwa?” Ekibiina kyonna ne kiddamu nti, “Balaba!”
And the governor said to them, Which of the two would you have me release to you? and they said, Barabbas.
22 Piraato n’ababuuza nti, “Kale Yesu, ayitibwa Kristo, mukole ntya?” buli omu n’addamu nti, “Akomererwe!”
What shall I do then, saith Pilate, with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all cried out, 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, Why, what evil hath He done? but they cried out the more, 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!”
Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just man, look ye to it:
25 Abantu bonna ne baanukula nti, “Omusaayi gwe gubeere ku ffe ne ku baana baffe!”
and all the people answered and 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 he ordered Jesus to be scourged, and delivered Him to 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 took Jesus into the hall, and gathered the whole band about Him:
28 Awo ne bamwambulamu engoye ze, ne bamwambaza ekyambalo ekimyufu,
and when they had stript Him, they covered Him with a scarlet robe;
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 platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before Him in derision, saying, Hail king of the Jews:
30 Ne bamuwandira amalusu, ne bamusikako olumuli ne balumukubya ku mutwe.
and they spit upon Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.
31 Eby’okumuduulira bwe byaggwa, ne bamwambulamu ekyambalo ekimyufu, ne bamwambaza ekyambalo kye ekya bulijjo, ne balyoka bamufulumya okumutwala okumukomerera.
And after they had thus abused Him, they took off the scarlet robe from Him, and put on Him his own clothes, and led Him away to be crucified.
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 were going along they met with a man of Cyrene, whose name was Simon; and forced him to carry the cross.
33 Bwe baatuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Gologoosa, amakulu nti, “Akasozi k’Ekiwanga,”
And when they were come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say,
34 ne bawa Yesu wayini atabuddwamu omususa, naye bwe yakombako n’amugaana.
the place of a skull, they gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: but when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
35 Bwe baamala okumukomerera, abaserikale ne bagabana ebyambalo bye nga babikubira akalulu.
And after they had fixed Him to the cross, they parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 Bwe batyo ne batuula awo nga bamukuuma.
And they sat down and watched Him there: and put up over his head his accusation in writing,
37 Ne bawanika ekipande waggulu w’omutwe gwe ku musaalaba okuwandiikiddwa nti, “Ono ye Yesu, Kabaka w’Abayudaaya.”
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Waaliwo n’abanyazi babiri abaakomererwa naye omu ku ddyo, n’omulala ku kkono.
And there were two thieves crucified with Him: one on his right hand, and one on the left.
39 Awo abantu abaali bayitawo, ne bamuvuma nga bamunyeenyeza emitwe
And they that passed 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 again in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Bakabona abakulu n’abawandiisi, n’abakulembeze abalala ne bamuduulira, nga bagamba nti,
And in like manner the chief priests also insulting Him, with the scribes and elders,
42 “Yalokolanga balala, naye ye tasobola kwerokola! Kale nga bw’ali Kabaka wa Isirayiri, ave ku musaalaba akke wansi, naffe tunaamukkiriza!
said, He saved others, himself He cannot save: if He be the king of Israel, let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe Him:
43 Yeesiga Katonda, kale amuggye ku musaalaba obanga Katonda amwagala. Yagamba nti, ‘Ndi Mwana wa Katonda.’”
He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will own Him; for He said, I am the Son of God.
44 N’abanyazi ababiri abaakomererwa awamu naye nabo ne bamuvuma.
And one of the thieves also, that were crucified with Him, cast the same reproach upon Him.
45 Okuviira ddala ku ssaawa mukaaga mu ttuntu okutuusiza ddala essaawa mwenda ez’olweggulo ensi yonna yabikkibwa ekizikiza.
Now from the sixth hour to the ninth there was darkness over all the land.
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?”
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani," that is to say, 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 them that stood by, hearing Him, said, He calls upon 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 ran, and took a spunge, and having filled it with vinegar put it upon a reed, and offered it Him to drink;
49 Naye abalala ne bagamba nti, “Mumuleke. Ka tulabe obanga Eriya anajja n’amulokola.”
the rest said, Stay, let us see whether Elias will come and save Him.
50 Awo Yesu ne yeeyongera okwogerera waggulu n’eddoboozi eddene, n’awaayo omwoyo gwe.
But Jesus cried out again with a loud voice; and then 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 behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split:
52 Entaana ne zibikkuka era abantu ba Katonda bangi abaali bafudde ne bazuukira,
and the graves opened, and many bodies of departed saints arose,
53 era Yesu bwe yamala okuzuukira ne bava mu ntaana gye baali baziikiddwa ne bayingira mu kibuga ekitukuvu ne balabibwa abantu bangi.
and coming out of the graves, after his resurrection, went 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.”
And when the centurion, and they that were with him guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake, and what was done, they were sore afraid, and said, This was indeed the 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 several women were there looking on at a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministring unto 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 Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
57 Obudde bwe bwawungeera, ne wajja omusajja omugagga ng’ava Alimasaya, erinnya lye Yusufu eyali omu ku bagoberezi ba Yesu.
And in the evening, there came a rich man of Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus, and went to Pilate,
58 N’agenda eri Piraato n’asabayo omulambo gwa Yesu. Piraato n’alagira bagumuwe.
and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be delivered to him;
59 Yusufu n’atwala omulambo n’aguzinga mu lugoye olulungi olwa linena,
and Joseph took the body and 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 own new tomb, which he had had cut out in the rock; and when he had rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, he went away:
61 Maliyamu Magudaleene ne Maliyamu munne, bombi baali batudde awo kumpi n’entaana.
but there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Enkeera, ng’olunaku olusooka mu nnaku z’Embaga y’Okuyitako luweddeko, bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo ne bagenda eri Piraato,
Now the next day after the preparation, the chief priests and pharisees went together to Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember that this impostor,
63 ne bamugamba nti, “Oweekitiibwa, omulimba oli tujjukira ng’akyali mulamu yagamba nti, ‘Nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu ndizuukira.’
when He was alive, said, After three days I will rise again:
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.”
order therefore the sepulchre to be secured till the third day, least his disciples should come and steal Him away, and tell the people, He is risen from the dead: and so the last error will be worse than the first.
65 Piraato n’abaddamu nti, “Mukozese abaserikale bammwe be mulina mugende mugikuume.”
But Pilate said to them, Ye have a guard of your own, go and make it as secure as ye will.
66 Bwe batyo ne bateeka akabonero ak’envumbo ku jjinja eryaggala omulyango gw’entaana, ne bateekawo n’abakuumi.
So they went and made the sepulchre safe, sealing the stone, and setting a guard to watch it.
