Matiyu 27
1 Nene na kitin shanta, vat na didya na priest iyawa nin na kukune na nite kpiliza umolun Yesu ku.
When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;
2 Itere ghe inyaa mung idi nakpa ghe na caran Bilatus, ugumna.
and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor.
3 Ku bi kongo Yahuda, ulenge na awa leu ghe nyene isuu Yesu ku ushara nkul, a deo kutin akurtuno ikurfunghe akut atat na iwa bya ghe na cara na priest didya nin na kune,
Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High Priests and Elders
4 A woro, “Nati kulapi nlewe unan myii milau, min nan sali kulap.” Amma inun woro, “Ilele nsoo nyan kiti bit? Ulele ulawa ufin.”
and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business."
5 Atoo ikurfunghe nya kuti nlira, atunna anuza anyaa adi bana litime.
Flinging the shekels into the Sanctuary he left the place, and went and hanged himself.
6 Adya kutii nlire yira ikurfunghe inin woro, “Na ucaun i taa ile ikurfunghe nanya filaiye ba bara na ikurfung myii yari.”
When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."
7 I kpiliza ulire ligowe idi seru kunen nin nikurfunghe ki ka na ima kasu amaraku.
So after consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;
8 Bara nani kunen kune idin yucu kunin, “Kunen nmyii” udak kitimone.
for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of 'the Field of Blood.'
9 Nani imon ile na Irimiya na beleng i kulo, na awa woro, “I yira ikurfunghe akut atat, uparashi ule na iwa ti liti me nnuzu na nit me Israila,
Then were fulfilled the words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, "And I took the thirty shekels, the price of the prized one on whom Israelites had set a price,
10 Ining na kiti kunenen, nafo na Cikilare na duru nani.”
and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
11 Nene Yesu yisina nbun ngumna, ugumne nin tiringhe, “Fere ugo na Yahudawe?” Yesu kawaghe, “ubelle nani.”
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.
12 Bara nani na i wa din pizirughe nin kulapi, na akawa nani imon ba.
When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.
13 Bilatus nin woroghe, “Uku lanza imon ile na idin belu litii fe?”
"Do you not hear," asked Pilate, "what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?"
14 Bara nan na a kawa ligbulang lirumba, bara nani ugumne kifo unuu me.
But He made no reply to a single accusation, so that the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 Kubin buki mene ugadwari ugummne suun nkon kucin ko na anite fere.
"Now it was the Governor's custom at the Festival to release some one prisoner, whomsoever the populace desired;
16 Nkuni kube i wadi nin kon kucim kugbas lisa me Barabas.
and at this time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Na izuru vat kiti kirum, Bilatus woro nani, “Ghari idi nin su insun minu ame? Barabas sa Yesu ule idin yicu KKristi?”
So when they were now assembled Pilate appealed to them. "Whom shall I release to you," he said, "Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"
18 Bara na ayiri i wa nakpaghe bara nshinari.
For he knew that it was from envious hatred that Jesus had been brought before him.
19 Na a wa sosin kutet nwucun nliru uwani me tooghe nin kadura a woro, na uwati imon nin kadura a woro, “Na uwati imon nin nit une ba. Bara na inneu kitimone nanya namoro bara ame.”
While he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. "Have nothing to do with that innocent man," she said, "for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through him."
20 A didya kutiii nlira nang na kukune ntardu nacara kutii nlira risa ligosin na nite i woro, idi nin su Barabas, imolu Yesu ku.
The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.
21 Ugumne tirino nani, “Ghari nan wabe idi nin su in cin minu ame?” I woro, “Barabas.”
So when the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "Barabbas!"
22 Bilatus woro nani, “I yari mma ti nin Yesu ule na idin yicughe Kristi?” Vat mene kawa i woro, “Kotin ghe kitene kucan nkull.”
"What then," said Pilate, "shall I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" With one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"
23 Anin woro na nin, “Bara iyang, kulapin nyanghari ataa?” Bara nani ighantina ti uwi mene kang, “Katin ghe ku can nkull.”
"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "Let him be crucified!"
24 Bara na Bilatus nyene na a wa sa a wantina nani ba, banin nani ayene i cizina ufeuj nibinai, i yira myein, akusu acara me mbun ligozin na nite, a woro, “Na myein nin duku nin nang sali kulapi ulele. Yeneng ati mene imon ile na ima tighe.”
So when he saw that he could gain nothing, but that on the contrary there was a riot threatening, he called for water and washed his hands in sight of them all, saying, "I am not responsible for this murder: you must answer for it."
25 Anite vat woro, “Na nmyii me so natii bite udu nono bite.”
"His blood," replied all the people, "be on us and on our children!"
26 Anin suna nani Barabas ku, aning nakpa nani Yesu ku idi kotinghe kucan nkull.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he ordered to be scourged, and gave Him up to be crucified.
27 A sojan gumne yira Yesu ku udu nanya kitin yisizunu kutiin nwucun nliru idi pitirin a soje vat.
Then the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.
28 I kalaghe imon kidowome vat itaghe imoon licin kidowe.
Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.
29 Inin kyele kitik tigoo namart itaghe liti, i taghe uca ncara uleme me inin tumunu nbun me idighe liyom, idin belu, “Ulai dandaun Ugo na Yahudawa!”
They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!"
30 I tufuzunghe ataf, i bolo ucan na cara me i kpizoghe mun kitene liti.
Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it.
31 Na imala usughe liyarne, i kala imonne na itaghe kidowe, ishonghe inme, ini nya ninghe cindi kutinu kucan kull.
At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
32 Na inuzu udas, I se umong unit kunang sirmi lisa me simon, uli na iwa boroghe iyizi a nya nanghinu bara anan yauna kucan nkull me.
Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled to carry His cross,
33 Idaa kankiti na idin yicu Ugolgota, kite na idin sumun, “Kiti na kankang nati.”
and so they came to a place called Golgotha, which means 'Skull-ground.'
34 Inaghe nmyein me gbalala a sono. Na a buti minin, na a yino usone ba.
Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted it He refused to drink it.
35 Na ikofinghe ikoso imoon kito wome nin kuriya.
After crucifying Him, they divided His garments among them by lot,
36 Inin suu idin yenju ghe.
and sat down there on guard.
37 Kitene litime i Yertine lo ligbulanghe na li woro, “Yesuari, ulele ugo na Yahudawa.”
Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 A kiri aba wa di ninghe kitene kuce, warum ncara ulime, warum ncara ugule.
At the same time two robbers were crucified with Him, one at His right hand and the other at His left.
39 Ale na idin katizu zugizoghe, idin zinlu ati mene
And the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him
40 inin din belu, “Fe ule na uwadin woru uturiin atat! Tucu litife andi fe Gono Kutelleari, tolo kitene ku can nkull kone!”
and said, "You who would pull down the Sanctuary and build a new one within three days, save yourself. If you are God's Son, come down from the cross."
41 Nanere adidya kutiin nlire wadin sisughe ligowe nanang niyerte nin nakukunen ntardu nacara kutii nlira, nin wor,
In like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.
42 “Ana tucu among, na a wasa atucu litime ba. Amere Ugoon Israila. Na atolu kitine kucan nkulle, ti ma nin yinun ninghe.
"He saved others," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 Ana yinin min Kutelle. Na Kutelle tucughe nene a wadi nin suwe, bara ana woro, 'Meng Gono Kutelleari.'”
His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him; for he said, 'I am God's Son.'"
44 A kire na i wa kutin nani ligowe taghe liyarin lirume.
Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers who were being crucified with Him.
45 Nene ucizinu kubi kun tocin insirti talo nmgeine vat udu kubi kun zakure.
Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was darkness over the whole land;
46 Udu kubi kun zakure, Yesu taa intet nin liwui kang a woro, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” na idin nufi, “Kutelle nin, Kutelle nin, iyarin taa usuni?”
but about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
47 Na ale na iwa yisin kupoowe nlanza nani, i woro, “Adin yicu Iliya ku.”
"The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.
48 Kitene umong ta ucum a di yiru usoso, a lumu unin nin myein mi gbalala, ataa nca ujangaran a nakpaghe a sono.
One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine put it on the end of a cane and offered it Him to drink;
49 Kagisin mene woro, “Sunanghe tiyene sa Iliya ba dak ada tucughe.”
while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to deliver him."
50 Yesu nin ghantina liwui nin teet anin suna nfep me a kuu.
But Jesus uttered another loud cry and then yielded up His spirit.
51 Bara nani azanin kesu kiti kilau kutii nlire marta tiba unuzu kitene udak kadase. Kutine nin zuluno kang, apara martiza.
Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;
52 Ni sek wa pozun, abe na nit alau ale na iwa nun fitiza.
the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.
53 I nuzu nanya niseke na ame nfita, a pira kipin kilau, a duro anit gbardan litime.
And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.
54 Nene na asoje nyene nani nan nale na iwadin yenjun Yesu ku yene uzulunu kutine nin nimonile na isee feu da nani kang inin woro, “Kidegene Gono Kutelleari kane wadi.”
As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."
55 A wani gbardan na iwa dufin Yesu ku unuzun Galili inan di kye ghe waduku idin yenju vat iyisina piit.
And there were a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;
56 Nanya mene Maryamu Magdaliya, Maryamu unang Yakub, nin Yusufu ning naa nnonon zibide.
among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.
57 Na kulelen nda, umong unan nikurfung kunan Arimatiya, lisane Yusufu, ule na awadi gono kaduran Yesu.
Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself also had become a disciple of Jesus.
58 Ada see Bilatus ku atiringhe kidowon Yesu. Bilatuse woro nani i ninghe.
He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 Yusufu yira kidowe, a gbincilo nanya mayapi ma boo,
So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.
60 a nunku nanya kisek kipese kanga na awa wuzu nanya natala. Anin tarda llitala kibulun kiseke anin nya.
He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.
61 Maryamu Magadaliya nin leli Maryamu wa di kikane, i sosin idin Yenju kideke.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were both present there, sitting opposite to the sepulchre.
62 Nin kurtunun koiye, lo na liwa kafin, lirin shiri, a didya kultiin nlira nin na Farisiyawa wa pitirin nan Bilatus.
On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.
63 I woro, “Cikilari, ti lizino na unang kinu kane wadi nin nlai a wa woro, 'Mbaya nayiri atat nma fitu tutung.'
"Sir," they said, "we recollect that during his lifetime that impostor pretended that after two days he was to rise to life again.
64 Bara nani ta anit idi yenje kiseke udu liri lin tatte. Bara nono katwa me wada tuughe i belle anit au, 'Afita nanya kiseke.' Kinu kin mbe wa kata kin burne.”
So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first."
65 Bilatus woro nani, “Yiran unan ncaa. Can idi kiliin kitene vat.”
"You can have a guard," said Pilate: "go and make all safe, as best you can."
66 Bara nani i do idi kilin Kiseke vat, itursu litale inin ceu anan ncauleku.
So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.
