Markos 14
1 Uwa lawa ayiri abba isu ubukin Paska nin bukin Burodin salin yist. Adidya kutin nlira nin nanan ninyerte wa din kpilizu libau longo na iba kifi Yisa ku i molughe likire.
It was only two days before the [people] ([celebrated/started to celebrate]) [for one week the] festival [which they called] Passover. During those days they also celebrated the festival of (Unleavened Bread/[eating] bread that had no yeast in it). The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were planning how they could seize Jesus secretly. [They wanted to accuse him in front of the Roman authorities] so that they would execute him.
2 I woro nenge, “Na wa ti wa kifoghe kitin buké ba, bara nnun wa fita nan nya nanite.”
But they were saying to one another, “We must not [do it] during the celebration, because, [if we do it then], the people will [be very angry with us and] riot!”
3 Kube na Yisa wa di in Baithanya nan nya kilarin Simon ukuturu a sosino nli nimonli, umong uwani da nin libon nnuf mongo na idin yicu minin, “Narda” min nikurfung kang a puno minin a kalaghe liti.
Jesus was at Bethany [town] in the house of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed from] leprosy. While they were eating, a woman came [to him]. [She was carrying] a stone jar that contained expensive [fragrant] perfume called nard. She opened the jar and then she poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.
4 Among wa duku nanya mine na iwa lanza ayi. I lira nati mine iworo, “Bara iyanghari idin nanzun nnuf mone?
One of the people [who were present] became angry and said to the others, “([It is terrible that she] wasted that perfume!/[Why did she] waste that perfume?) [RHQ]
5 Nnuf kunya kumang mone batin nworu ileu minin nnu ni dinari akalt atat ini nikimon.” I tunan ngbandulu litin nwani une.
It could have been sold {[We] could have sold it} for (a huge amount of money/an amount of money for which a person works for a year), and then [the money] could have been given {[we] could have given [the money]} to poor people!” So he rebuked her.
6 Yisa woro nani, “Bara iyanghari idin ngbondulu litime? A suyi imon icine.
But Jesus said, “Stop [scolding] her! She has done to me what I [consider to be] very appropriate/delightful. So (you should not bother her!/why do you bother her?) [RHQ]
7 I sosin nan nikimon ko kishi, iwasa i su nani imon icine vat kubi kongo na nibinai mine yinna, meng tutun anung di nan mi ko kishi ba.
You will always have poor people among you. So you can help them whenever you want to. But I will not [be here among] you much longer. [So it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me].
8 A su imon ilenge na a wa sa a su: A kelei yari bara liyirin nkul ning.
[It is appropriate that] she has done what she was able to do. [It is as if she knew that I was going to die soon] and has anointed my body for their burying it.
9 Kidegen ari mbellin minu, vat kiti kanga na iba belu uliru Kutellẹ ku nanya nyih ulele, imon ilele na uwani ulele su imamang belu uliru mẹ nanyan yï ulele.”
I will tell you this: Wherever the good message [about me] is preached {people preach the good message} throughout the world, what she has done will be told {people will tell others what she has done [to me]}, and as a result people will remember her.”
10 Yahuda Iskarioti warum nayan nono katwu me likure nin nan wabe do kiti na didya kutin nlira anan lewe Yisa ku nachara mine.
Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) went to the chief priests in order to [talk to them about] helping them to seize Jesus. He did that [even though] he was one of the twelve [disciples]
11 Na adidya kutin nlire nlanza nani, ulire bina nani itunna ita likawali ima nighe ikurfung. A cizina upiziru libau longe na ama kifughe a lew nani.
When they heard [what he was willing to do for them], they were very happy. They promised that they would give him [a large amount of] money [for doing that. Judas agreed, so they gave him the money]. As a result, he [began] watching for an opportunity (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
12 Liyirin cizinun mbukin Paskan mburodin nsalin yist na iwa malu ubọ kukam nlira, nono katwa me tiringhe, “Ti ba du weri ti di kele fi kiti kanga na uma li imonli ku?”
[Two days later], when they killed the lambs [for the] festival at the beginning of the week when [people ate] bread that had no yeast in it, Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration] in order that you can eat it [with us]?”
13 A to an waba nan nyan nono katwa me aworo nani, “Can nan nya kipine ima zuru nin mong na a torin lidulin mmyen i dofinghe.
So he [chose] two of his disciples [to prepare everything]. He said to them, “Go into [Jerusalem] city. A man will meet you, who will be carrying a large jar full of water. Follow him.
14 Kilari kanga na a pira ku i wufunghe udu nanyeh, i balle unan kilare, 'Chikilarin nworo, Kuti limara nighe din we ari na nma li imonli ku ligowe nin nono katwa nin?”'
When he enters [a house], say to the man who owns the house, ‘[Our] teacher wants us to prepare [the meal of] the Passover celebration so that he can eat it with us his disciples. (Please show us the room that he [arranged with you about]./Where is the room that he [arranged with you about]?) [RHQ]’
15 Ama dursu minu kong kuti ketene ku pash kongo na ikele kunin gegeme, i kele nari imonle nanye.
He will show you a large room that is on the upper floor [of the house]. It will be furnished and ready [for us to eat a meal in it]. Then prepare the meal there for us.”
16 Nono katwa we gya udu nanya kipene idi se imone di dirt nafo na a belle, itunna i kelle uciwu nimonlin mbukin Paske.
So the [two] disciples left. They went into the city and found [everything] to be just like he had told them. They prepared the [meal for] the Passover [celebration, and then returned to Jesus and the other disciples].
17 Na kuleleng nta a da ligowe nin likure nin nan wabbe.
When it was evening, Jesus arrived [at that house] with the twelve [disciples].
18 Na ikilino kutebule nli niimonle Yisa woro, “Kidegen mbelin minu, unit urum nan nya mine na adin nli nimonli ligowe ninme a ma lewi.
As they were all sitting there [and eating], Jesus said, “Listen carefully to this: One of you will enable my enemies to seize me. Specifically, it is one of you who [will do this in spite of the fact that he] is eating with me [right now]!”
19 Vat mine ayih tunna a nana nani kang, i tirighe na lalarum, “Sa me ari?”
The disciples became very sad and they said to him one by one, “Surely (it is not I!/I am not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
20 Yisa kawa a woro nani, “Umong ari nan nya likure nin nan wabbe ulenge na a shono uchara me nanya kishik nimonle ligowe nin mi.
Then he said to them, “It is one of [you] twelve [disciples], the one who is dipping [bread] into the [sauce in the] dish along with me.
21 Gono in nit ma katu nafo na ina nyertin kitene liti me, kash in lenge na ima ni Gonon nit nachara me! Ukatin nin chaut iworo na iwa na marughe ba.”
It is certain that [I], the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been {what [the prophets] have} written about me. But there will be terrible [punishment] for the man by whom I will be betrayed {who will (betray me/help my enemies to seize me)}! In fact, it would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
22 Na iwa di kileo we, Yisa yauna uburodi, a ta mmari, ku a nyemile unin. A niza nani a woro, “Leon. Kidowo ning ari kane.”
While they were eating, he took [a flat loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them and said to them, “This [bread represents] [MET] my body. Take it [and eat it].”
23 A yauna kakkuke, a tan nlira a nakpa nani vat mine sono nan nya kakkuke.
Afterwards, he took a cup [that contained wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to them, and then, as they all drank from it,
24 A woro nani, “Min nare ingmyi likawali, mongo na ina gutun bara a nit gbardang.
he said to them, “This [wine represents] [MET] my blood, which is about to be shed {which is about to flow from my body} [when my enemies kill me]. With this blood I [will sign] the agreement [that God has made to forgive the sins of] many people.
25 Kidegen ari mbelin minu, na nma kuru nsono mmyen kumat kucha kongone ba, sei liyiri longo na nma sonu minin mi Pesse nan nya kilari tigo Kutellẹ.”
I want you to know this: I will not drink any more wine in this way until the time when I drink it with a new [meaning] when I begin to rule as a king.”
26 Na i mala uti nasem, itunna i gya udu kuparan Zaitun.
After they sang a hymn, they went out toward Olive [Tree] Hill.
27 Yisa woro nani, “Vat nghinu ima diu bara meng nafo na ina nyerting, nma kpiu unan, 'libya nakame, Akame ma malu kiti.'
[While they were on their way], Jesus said to them, “It has been {[The prophets] have} written [in the Scriptures that God said about me], ‘I will kill the shepherd and his sheep will scatter.’ [Those words will come true. When they are about to capture me], all of you will leave me and run away.
28 Asa ifyayi, ima gyiu nbun mine udu Ugalili.”
But after I have been made {[God] has made me} alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
29 Bitrus woroghe, “Andi anite vat ma diu, na meng ma diu ba.”
Then Peter said to him, “Perhaps all the [other disciples] will leave you, but not I! I will not [leave you]!”
30 Yisa woroghe, “Kidegen nbellin fi nin kitic kane, kafin kukulok kolsin tiba fye ba nari titat.”
Then Jesus said to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows a second time, you yourself will deny three times [that you know] me!”
31 Bitrus woro, “Asa uso nma ku ninfi na nma narifi ba.” Vat nin yinna nin liru urume.
But Peter replied strongly, “Even if they kill me [as I defend] you, I will never deny [that I know] you!” And all [the other disciples] said the same thing.
32 Ida kiti kanga na idin yicu kinin Jethsaimani, Yisa woro nono katame, “Song kikane ndo ndi ti nlira.”
[On the way], Jesus and the disciples came to the place that [people] call Gethsemane. Then he said to [some/eight of] his disciples, “Stay here while I pray!”
33 A yono Bitrus ku nin Yuhana a Yakubu igya ligowe, a cizina uniu ichang nin kpilizu nan nya kibineyi me.
Then he took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed, and he said to them,
34 A woro nani, '' Ulai nin dinin tiyom kang, udu ukul wang. Yisinan kikane isu ucha.''
“I [SYN] am very sorrowful. [It is as if] I were about to die. [You men] remain here and stay awake!”
35 Yisa chillina udu ubun, a deu kutin anin tah nlira, asa uma chaunu ukalai kokube.
He went a bit further and threw himself on the ground. Then he prayed that if it were possible, he would not [have to suffer] [MTY].
36 A woro, “Abba, Uchif, imon vat nsuari kitife. Kalai kakkuk kane litinin, na nafo ubellu nin ba na unfe so.”
He said, “O my Father, [because] you are able to do everything, rescue me so that I do not have to suffer [now] [MTY]! But do not [do] what I want. Instead, [do] what you want!”
37 Akpilla adase nanin nmoro, anin belle Bitrus ku, “Simon, idin nmora-a? Na iwasa ita kubi kurum nyenju kiti ba?
Then he returned and found his [disciples] sleeping. He [woke them up and] said, “Simon! ([I am disappointed that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just a short time!/[Why is it that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just one hour?) [RHQ]”
38 Yenjeng kiti isu nlira bara iwa piru nanya ndumuzunu. Nfip Kutellẹ nyinna kidowe ka nari.”
[And he said to them], “You want [to do what I say], but you are not strong enough [MTY] [to actually do it]. So keep awake and pray in order that you can resist when [something like this] tempts you!”
39 A kuru agya udun nti nlire, a kuru abelle tigulan tirume.
Then he went away again and prayed again what he prayed before.
40 Ada senanin nmoro tutung, bara nmoro wa di nizi mine ichang na iyinno imong ille na ima bellinghhe ba.
When he returned, he found that they were sleeping again because they were [so] sleepy that they could not keep their eyes open. [Because they were ashamed], they did not know what to say to him [when he awakened them].
41 Ada untat ada woro nani, “Idu nmoro nin shinuare? Batan nani! Kube nda. Yenen! Ima nakpu gonon nnit nan nya nachara nanan kulapi.
[Then he went and prayed again]. He returned a third time; [and he found them sleeping again]. He [woke] all of [them and] said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] sleeping again!/[Why are you] sleeping again?) [RHQ] [You have slept] enough. The time [for me to suffer] is about to begin. Look! Someone is about to enable sinful men to seize me, the one who came from heaven.
42 Fitang ti gya. Yenen, ullenge na ama kifi anakpa ndaduru.
[So] get up! Let’s go [toward him] Look! Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
43 Ayita nlire na idondonoba, Yahuda uwa rum nanya likure nin nan awabe, da nin ligozin nanit gbardang nin titang nan tiyop unuzu kiti nan kubi nlira, anan niyert nan nakune.
While he was still speaking, Judas [arrived]. [Even though he was] one of [Jesus’] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A crowd who carried swords and clubs was with him. The [leaders of] the Jewish Council had sent them.
44 Ulle na ama lewughe, namo unanin kulap, a belle, vat ulle na ngbindiringhe amere. Kifonghe anan techu natino nya ninghe.
[Judas], who was (betraying Jesus/helping Jesus’ enemies to seize him), had [previously] told this crowd, “The man whom I kiss is the one [whom you want. When I kiss him], seize him and lead him away [while you guard him] carefully.”
45 Na Yahuda nda, atinna ada kitin Yisa, a woro, “Rabbi!” Anin gbindiringhe.
So, when Judas arrived, he immediately went to Jesus and said, “My teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on his neck/cheek].
46 Inin Kifoghe inyamu.
Then [the crowd] seized Jesus.
47 Umong nanya mine nutuno litang lidya a kala kutuf nnan kata ndya kutin nlire.
But one of the [disciples] who was standing nearby drew his short sword. He struck the servant of the high priest with it [to kill him, but he only] cut off his ear.
48 Yisa woro nanin, “Ida nafo ima kifu ukiri nin titang nan tiyop ida kifoiya?”
Jesus said to them, “([It is ridiculous that] you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit!/Have you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit [RHQ]?) Day after day I was with you in the Temple [courtyard] teaching [the people] Why did you not seize me then? [But this is happening] in order that [what the prophets have written in] the Scriptures [about me] may be fulfilled {may happen}.”
49 Na nwadi nan ghinu kolome liri, ndursuzu minu nanya kutin nlira, na ikifei ba. Idin su ile imone bara inyerti nan kullo.
50 Vat nalle na iwa di nan Yisa wa chom isunghe.
All [the disciples at once] left him and ran away.
51 Nkong Kwanyana dofinghe, na awa kiring nin gudun ubo; ikifoghe
At that time, (a young man/I) was following Jesus. He/[I was] wearing only a linen cloth around his/my body. The crowd seized him/me.
52 a suna ugudume kitene aco fisere.
But, [as he/I pulled away from them], he/I left behind the linen cloth [in their hands], and then he/I ran away naked.
53 Ido nin Yisa ubon ndya kutyi nlira. Adidya kutyi nlira, Akune, nan nanan ninyerti vat da zuro nanghe.
The men [who had seized] Jesus led him away to [the house where] the supreme priest [lived]. All of the Jewish Council were gathering [there].
54 Bitrus tinna adofighe na susut ba, udu duru kiti kutyi ndya nwucu nlire. A so ligowe nan nanan nca, na iwa din lanzu nla.
Peter followed Jesus at a distance. He went into the courtyard [of the house] where the supreme priest [lived], and sat there with the men who guarded [the house of the supreme priest]. He was warming himself beside a fire.
55 Udya na didya nin na nan kpilizu me wa din npizuru libo longo na ima se Yisa ku nin Kulapi imolughe. Na ise ba.
The chief priests and all the rest of the Jewish council [had already] tried to find people who would tell lies about Jesus [in order that they could convince the Roman authorities] to execute him. But they did not succeed,
56 Ngbardang na mon mine dasa nin liru kinu na uliru mine nse upiru ba.
because, although many people spoke lies about him, they contradicted each other.
57 Among fita iyisina isu uliru unkinu litime; i woro,
[Finally], some stood up and accused him falsely by saying,
58 “Tina lanzaghe aworo, 'Nma turnu kutyi nlira ko na ina kye nin na chara, nan nya nayiri atat mma kye nkong kongo na ina kye nin na chara ba.'”
“We heard him when he said, ‘I will destroy this Temple that was built by men, and then within three days I will build another temple (without help from anyone else/that human hands will not build).’”
59 Inug wang na uliru mine wase upiru ba.
But, what [some of] these men said also did not agree with [what others of them said].
60 Udya na didya kutyi nlire fita ayisina kitik mine atirino Yisa ku, “Na udi nin tardu ba? Uyapin ulirari ullele na anit din bellu litife?”
Then the supreme priest [himself] stood up in front of them and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] all the things that they are saying in order to accuse you?”
61 Vat nin nani amino tik na atardaba. Udya na didyawe kuru atiringhe a woro, “Fere Kristi, usaun Kutellẹ mmarẹ?”
But Jesus was silent and did not reply [DOU]. Then the supreme priest [tried again]. He asked him, “Are you the Messiah? [Do you say that you are] (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
62 Yisa woro, “Mere ame. Usaun nnit ullenge na ima yenughe a sosin nchara ulime tigo adin cinu nin nawut kitene kani.”
Jesus said, “I am. Furthermore, you will see me, the one who came from heaven, [ruling] beside God, who is completely powerful. [You will also see me] coming down through the clouds in the sky!”
63 Udya na didya kutyi nlire jarya kulutuk me a woro, “Tidu nin sun mon ukpinu lirikwa?
[In response to Jesus’ words], the supreme priest tore his outer garment. [That was their custom to show that he was shocked that Jesus had said that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “We certainly do not [RHQ] need any [more] people who will testify [against this man],
64 Anung nlanza tizogo Kutellẹ. Yaghari ukpilliu mine?” Vat mine yinna nworo abatina asso nca nkul.
[because] you have heard what he said against God! [He claimed to be equal with God] Therefore, what have you decided?” They all said that Jesus was guilty and deserved (to be executed/that they should kill him).
65 Among cizina utufuzinghe nataf i tursuzughe umuro, ikpizoghe i bellinghe, “Su nari uanabci!” Ana ncha ngo Yonghe ikpizoghe.
Then some of them began spitting on Jesus. They put a blindfold on him, and then they began striking him and saying to him, “[If you are] a prophet, tell us [who hit you]!” And those who were guarding Jesus struck him with their hands.
66 Bitrus da yita kadas kutyin nwucu nlira, nkon kubura nanya nanan katah ndya kutyi nlire da seghe.
While Peter was outside in the courtyard [of the supreme priest’s house], one of the girls who worked for the supreme priest came [near him].
67 Ayene Bitrus ku din nlanzu nla atinna abelle, fewang una yita nin kunan Nazaret, Yisa.”
When she saw Peter warming himself [beside the fire], she looked at him [closely]. Then she said, “You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth [town]!”
68 Abelle “Kinuwari, na nyinno ile imon na udin nbelle ba.” An gya kiti nanite adi piru kudaru nwucu nliru. Ku kulloke kolsuno.
But he denied it by saying, “I do not know or understand [DOU] what you are talking about!” Then he went away [from there] to the gate [of the courtyard].
69 Kubure kuru ayeneghe atinna nbellu na lenge na iyissin kite, “Unit ullele umong nan nya minere!”
[The] servant girl saw him there and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man is one of [those who have been with that man they arrested].”
70 Akuru anari tutung. Nanin dandaunu ba, allenge na iwa yissin kitene tunna nbellun Bitrus ku, “Kidegenere udi nanya mine, bara fewang kunan Galiliari.”
But he denied it again. After a little while, one of those who were standing there said to Peter again, “[The way you speak shows that] you also are from Galilee [district]. So it is certain that you are one of those [who accompanied Jesus!]”
71 Atunna a cizina tizogo nin nisiling, “Na in yiru unit ullele na idin liru litime ba.”
But he began to exclaim, “I do not know the man that you are talking about! Because God knows that I am speaking truthfully, may he punish me [if I am lying]!”
72 Kukuloke tunna ku kolsuno un ba. Kitenere Bitrus tunna a lizino nin lire na Yisa wa bellinghe: “Kamin kukullok kolsin tiba Uba nari sau titat.” Na alizino nani kidowo me kughe, apuro kuchulu.
Immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him [before], “Before the rooster crows a second time, you will deny three times [that you know me.” When he realized that he had denied it three times], he started crying.
