Mathai 26
1 Jesu mah hae loknawk thuih pacoengah, a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah,
When Jesus had ended all these discourses, He said to His disciples,
2 ni hnetto pacoeng ah misong loihhaih poih om tih, tito na panoek o, to naah kami Capa thinglam pong takhing hanah paek o tih.
"You know that in two days' time the Passover comes. And the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
3 To naah kalen koek qaimanawk, ca tarik kaminawk, kacoehtanawk, Kaiapha, tiah kawk ih kalen koek qaima im ah amkhueng o,
Then the High Priests and Elders of the People assembled in the court of the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas,
4 Jesu to zoek moe, naeh o pacoengah, hum hanah a thuih o.
and consulted how to get Jesus into their power by stratagem and put Him to death.
5 Toe poihsakhaih niah sah hmah si, to tih ai nahaeloe rangpui palungpuihaih om moeng tih, tiah a thuih o.
But they said, "Not during the Festival, lest there be a riot among the people."
6 Jesu loe Bethany vang ah kaom, ngansae maan Simon im ah oh naah,
Now when Jesus was come to Bethany and was at the house of Simon the Leper,
7 atho kana parai hmuihoih tabu kasin nongpata maeto anih khaeah angzoh moe, anih buhcaak han anghnut naah lu nuiah a bawh pae.
a woman came to Him with a jar of very costly, sweet-scented ointment, which she poured over His head as He reclined at table.
8 A hnukbang kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, palungphui o moe, tikhoe avang ai ah hae tiah a kraih vai?
"Why such waste?" indignantly exclaimed the disciples;
9 Atho kana ah hmuihoih tui to zawh moe, amtang kaminawk hanah phoisa to a paek han oh, tiah a thuih o.
"for this might have been sold for a considerable sum, and the money given to the poor."
10 Jesu mah to tiah kaom hmuen to panoek naah, Tih hanah nongpata to na tavet o khing loe? Anih loe ka nuiah kahoih hmuen ni a sak.
But Jesus heard it, and said to them, "Why are you vexing her? For she has done a most gracious act towards me.
11 Nangcae loe amtang kamminawk hoi nawnto na oh o toepsoep: toe kai loe nangcae hoi ka om poe mak ai.
The poor you always have with you, but me you have not always.
12 Nongpata mah ka nuiah bawh ih hmuihoih tui loe Kai aphum hanah sak ih hmuen ah ni oh.
In pouring this ointment over me, her object was to prepare me for burial.
13 Loktang kang thuih o, Long pum ah hae kahoih tamthanglok thuih kruek, hae nongpata mah ka nuiah sak ih hmuen doeh anih panoek poehaih hanah thui o tih, tiah a naa.
In solemn truth I tell you that wherever in the whole world this Good News shall be proclaimed, this deed of hers shall be spoken of in memory of her."
14 To naah a hnukbang hatlai hnetto thungah Judah Isakariot, tiah kawk ih kami maeto loe, kalen koek qaima khaeah caeh moe,
At that time one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the High Priests
15 nihcae khaeah, Anih to kang paek nahaeloe timaw nang paek o han? tiah a naa. To naah nihcae mah anih khaeah phoisa quithumto paek hanah palungdue o.
and said, "What are you willing to give me if I betray him to you?" So they weighed out to him thirty shekels,
16 To nathuem hoi kamtong anih mah Jesu naeh thai han ih atue kahoih to pakrong boeh.
and from that moment he was on the look out for an opportunity to betray Him.
17 Taeh thuh ai misong loihhaih poih nito naah loe, a hnukbang kaminawk Jesu khaeah angzoh o moe, nang hanah misong loihhaih poih hae naah maw saksak han na koeh? tiah a naa o.
On the first day of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus with the question, "Where shall we make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
18 Anih mah, Vangpui thung ih kami maeto khaeah caeh oh loe, anih khaeah, Patukkung mah Kai ih atue loe zoi boeh; ka hnukbang kaminawk hoi nang im ah Misong loihhaih poih ka sak han, tiah a thuih, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
"Go into the city," He replied, "to a certain man, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, My time is close at hand. It is at your house that I shall keep the Passover with my disciples.'"
19 Jesu mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a hnukbang kaminawk mah, Misong loihhaih poih to sak o.
The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and got the Passover ready.
20 Duembang phak naah, anih loe buhcaak hanah kami hatlai hnettonawk hoi nawnto anghnut.
When evening came, He was at table with the twelve disciples,
21 Nihcae buhcaak o naah anih mah, Loktang kang thuih o, nangcae thung ih kami maeto mah kai angphat taak tih, tiah a naa.
and the meal was proceeding, when Jesus said, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 To naah nihcae loe palungset o moe, kami boih mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, kai maw? tiah a naa o.
Intensely grieved they began one after another to ask Him, "Can it be I, Master?"
23 Anih mah, Kai hoi nawnto sabae tapawh kami mah, kai angphat taak tih.
"The one who has dipped his fingers in the bowl with me," He answered, "is the man who will betray me.
24 Kami Capa loe angmah kawng tarik ih baktih toengah caeh tih: toe kami Capa angphat taak kami loe khosak bing! To kami loe tapen ai ah om nahaeloe hoi kue tih, tiah pathim pae.
The Son of Man is indeed going as is written concerning Him; but alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man if he had never been born."
25 Anih angphat taak kami, Judah mah, Rabbi, kai maw? tiah a naa. To naah anih mah, Na thuih ih baktih toengah nang ni, tiah a naa.
Then Judas, the disciple who was betraying Him, asked, "Can it be I, Rabbi?" "It is you," He replied.
26 Nihcae buhcaak o nathuem ah, Jesu mah takaw to lak moe, tahamhoihhaih paek pacoengah, a aeh, a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah a paek, la oh loe, caa oh: hae loe ka taksa ah oh, tiah a naa.
During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it: it is my body."
27 To pacoengah boengloeng to a lak moe, kawnhaih lawkthuih pacoengah, nihcae khaeah a paek, nae o boih ah;
And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, "Drink from it, all of you;
28 hae loe pop parai kaminawk ih zae tahmen hanah kalong, lokkamhaih kangtha, ka thii ah oh.
for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins--the blood which ratifies the Covenant.
29 Kang thuih o, Vaihi hoi kamtong Pa ih prae ah nangcae hoi nawnto kangtha naekhaih ni pha ai karoek to, hae misurtui hae ka nae mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom."
30 Laa maeto a sak o pacoengah, Olive mae ah a caeh o.
So they sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Tuutoep kami to ka boh han, tuunawk loe ahmuen kalah ah ampraek o phang tih, tiah tarik baktih toengah, kai pongah vaiduem poekhaih nam ro o boih tih.
Then said Jesus, "This night all of you will stumble and fail in your fidelity to me; for it is written, 'I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered in all directions.'
32 Toe kang thawk let pacoengah, nangcae hmaa ah Kalili ah ka caeh han, tiah a naa.
But after I have risen to life again I will go before you into Galilee."
33 Piter mah anih khaeah, Nang pongah minawk poek amro o boih cadoeh, kai loe natuek naah doeh poek amro mak ai, tiah a naa.
"All may stumble and fail," said Peter, "but I never will."
34 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Loktang kang thuih, vaiduem aakhong ai naah, vai thumto kai nang phat taak tih, tiah a naa.
"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will three times disown me."
35 Piter mah anih khaeah, Nang hoi nawnto duek han om cadoeh, nang to kang phat taak mak ai, tiah a naa. A hnukbang kaminawk mah doeh to tiah thuih o boih.
"Even if I must die with you," declared Peter, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested all the disciples.
36 To pacoengah Jesu loe Gethsemane, tiah kawk ih ahmuen ah a hnukbang kaminawk hoi caeh o, a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, haeah anghnu oh, ho ah lawkthuih han ka caeh han, tiah a naa.
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, "Sit down here, whilst I go yonder and there pray."
37 Piter hoi Zebedi capa hnik to a caeh haih, anih loe palungset moe, paroeai dawnraihaih hoiah oh.
And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdi. Then He began to be full of anguish and distress,
38 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Ka hinghaih pakhra loe duek han khoek to palungset parai; haeah om oh loe nawnto na hak o haih ah, tiah a naa.
and He said to them, "My soul is crushed with anguish to the very point of death; wait here, and keep awake with me."
39 Anih loe ahmuen kangthla kue ah caeh moe, mikhmai long ah akuep, Aw Pa, angcoeng thai nahaeloe, hae boengloeng hae kai khae hoi takhoe ving ah: toe ka koehhaih baktih na ai ah, na koehhaih baktiah om nasoe, tiah lawk a thuih.
Going forward a short distance He fell on His face and prayed. "My Father," He said, "if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou willest."
40 A hnukbang kaminawk khaeah a caeh naah, ka-iip nihcae to a hnuk, Piter khaeah, atue maeto thung mataeng doeh nang hak o haih thai ai maw?
Then He came to the disciples and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Alas, none of you could keep awake with me for even a single hour!
41 Pacuekhaih thungah na kun o han ai ah, Hak oh loe, lawkthui oh: pakhra mah loe koeh, toe taksa loe thazok, tiah a naa.
Keep awake, and pray that you may not enter into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail."
42 Anih loe caeh let moe, Aw Pa, hae boengloeng hae kai khae hoiah ni takhoe ving thai ai moe, ka naek hanah om khruek nahaeloe, na koehhaih baktiah om nasoe, tiah lawk a thuih.
Again a second time He went away and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is impossible for this cup to pass without my drinking it, Thy will be done."
43 Anih angzoh let naah, iih kangmue khaang o ai pongah, ka-iip nihcae to a hnuk let bae.
He came and again found them asleep, for they were very tired.
44 To pongah nihcae to a caeh taak moe, vai thumto haih, to tiah lawk a thuih let bae.
So He left them, and went away once more and prayed a third time, again using the same words.
45 To pacoengah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah a caeh, nihcae khaeah, Vaihi khoek to nang song o moe, na iih o vop maw? Khenah, Kami Capa to angphat taak moe, kazae kaminawk ban ah paekhaih atue loe zoi boeh, tiah a naa.
Then He came to the disciples and said, "Sleep on and rest. See, the moment is close at hand when the Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men.
46 Angthawk oh, caeh o si boeh: khenah, kai angphat taak kami loe angzoh boeh, tiah a naa.
Rouse yourselves. Let us be going. My betrayer is close at hand."
47 Anih lokthuih li naah, khenah, hatlai hnetto thung ih maeto, Judah to angzoh, kalen koek qaima hoi rangpui kacoehtanawk mah patoeh ih, pop parai kaminawk loe haikaek hoi thingboengnawk to sin o moe, angzoh o.
He had scarcely finished speaking when Judas came--one of the Twelve--accompanied by a great crowd of men armed with swords and bludgeons, sent by the High Priests and Elders of the People.
48 Anih angphat taak kami mah nihcae hanah angmathaih to paek, Ka mok ih kami loe, Anih to boeh ni; anih to naeh oh, tiah a naa.
Now the betrayer had agreed upon a sign with them, to direct them. He had said, "The one whom I kiss is the man: lay hold of him."
49 Judah loe Jesu khaeah caeh phrat moe, Patukkung, tiah lok tapring pacoengah, Anih to a mok.
So he went straight to Jesus and said, "Peace to you, Rabbi!" And he kissed Him eagerly.
50 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Ampui, tih sak han ih maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. To naah kaminawk angzoh o moe, Anih to naeh o pacoengah, a caeh o haih.
"Friend," said Jesus, "carry out your intention." Then they came and laid their hands on Jesus and seized Him firmly.
51 To naah khenah, Jesu hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk thung ih maeto loe a ban to phok moe, a sumsen to azuh pacoengah, kalen koek qaima tamna ih naa to takroek pae pat.
But one of those with Jesus drew his sword and struck the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
52 Jesu mah anih khaeah, angmah ih ahmuen ah na sumsen to suem ah: mi kawbaktih doeh sumsen sin kami loe suemsen hoiah dueh tih.
"Put back your sword again," said Jesus, "for all who draw the sword shall perish by the sword.
53 Kai paek hanah misatuh abu hatlai hnetto pongah kapop van kaminawk to Pa khaeah vaihi ka hni thai mak ai, tiah na poek o maw?
Or do you suppose I cannot entreat my Father and He would instantly send to my help more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Toe to tiah om nahaeloe, cabu thungah hae tiah om tih, tiah thuih ih lok to kawbangah maw akoep thai tih? tiah a naa.
In that case how are the Scriptures to be fulfilled which declare that thus it must be?"
55 To nathuem ah Jesu mah pop parai kaminawk khaeah, Kai hae kamqu baktiah naeh han ih maw, sumsen hoi thingboengnawk hoiah nang zoh o? Tikhoe ni thokkruek tempul thungah nangcae hoi nawnto kang hnut moe, kaminawk ka patuk naah nang naeh o ai loe?
Then said Jesus to the crowds, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and bludgeons to apprehend me? Day after day I have been sitting teaching in the Temple, and you did not arrest me.
56 Toe tahmaanawk mah tarik ih cabu akoep han ih ni hae hmuen hae oh, tiah a naa. To pacoengah a hnukbang kaminawk mah anih to angphat o taak moe, cawnh o taak boih.
But all this has taken place in order that the writings of the Prophets may be fulfilled." At this point the disciples all left Him and fled.
57 Jesu naeh kaminawk mah anih to ca trik kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk amkhuenghaih, kalen koek qaima, Kaiapha im ah caeh o haih.
But the officers who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the High Priest, at whose house the Scribes and the Elders had assembled.
58 Toe Piter loe qaima im khoek to ahmuen kangtla hoiah anih hnukah bang, kawbangah maw a sak o, tiah panoek hanah, a thungah akun moe, imtoep tamnanawk hoi nawnto anghnut.
And Peter kept following Him at a distance, till he came even to the court of the High Priest's palace, where he entered and sat down among the officers to see the issue.
59 Qaimanawk, kacoehtanawk hoi lokcaekungnawk boih mah Jesu hum hanah, sak pazaehaih to pakrong o;
Meanwhile the High Priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death;
60 toe tidoeh hnu o ai: ue, zae netkung paroeai angzoh o, toe nihcae mah zaehaih tidoeh hnu o ai. Hnukkhuem koek ah loe amsawn zaehaih hnukung hnetto angzoh moe,
but they could find none, although many false witnesses came forward. At length there came two
61 hae kami mah, Sithaw ih tempul hae ka phraek moe, ni thumto thungah ka sak thaih, tiah thuih, tiah a thuih hoi.
who testified, "This man said, 'I am able to pull down the Sanctuary of God and three days afterwards to build a new one.'"
62 To naah kalen koek qaima to angthawk moe, anih khaeah, lok nang pathim mak ai maw? Hae hnukung hnik mah zae nethaih loe kawbangah maw oh? tiah a naa.
Then the High Priest stood up and asked Him, "Have you no answer to make? What is it these men are saying in evidence against you?"
63 Toe Jesu loe angam duem. Qaima mah anih khaeah, Kahing Sithaw ih ahmin palawkhaih hoiah lok kang dueng, nang loe Sithaw Capa, Kri maw? Na thui ah, tiah a naa.
Jesus however remained silent. Again the High Priest addressed Him. "In the name of the ever-living God," he said, "I now put you on your oath. Tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."
64 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Na thuih ih baktih toengah ka oh: toe nang khaeah lok ka thuih, hmabang ah loe Thacak bantang bangah kanghnu, tamai nui hoiah angzo Kami Capa to na hnu tih, tiah a naa.
"I am He," replied Jesus. "But I tell you that, later on, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Omnipotence, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
65 To naah kalen koek qaima mah angmah ih kahni to asih moe, Anih mah Sithaw to kasae thuih boeh; aicae mah kalah hnukungnawk timaw angaihaih oh vop? Khenah, a thuih ih Sithaw padaenghaih lok to vaihi na thaih o boeh.
Then the High Priest tore his robes and exclaimed, "Impious language! What further need have we of witnesses! See, you have now heard the impiety.
66 Kawbangah maw na poek o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Anih loe duek han krah zaehaih a tawnh, tiah pathim pae o.
What is your verdict?" "He deserves to die," they replied.
67 Nihcae mah a mikhmai ah tamtui hoi pathoih o moe, anih to thong o; thoemto kaminawk mah anih to tabaeng o,
Then they spat in His face, and struck Him--some with the fist, some with the open hand--
68 nang Kri, mi mah maw ang boh? Na thui ah, tiah a naa o.
while they taunted Him, saying, "Christ, prove yourself a Prophet by telling us who it was that struck you."
69 Piter loe im tasa bangah anghnut: to naah nongpata maeto anih khaeah angzoh moe, nang doeh Kalili prae ih Jesu hoi nawnto na oh toeng bae, tiah a naa.
Peter meanwhile was sitting outside in the court of the palace, when one of the maidservants came over to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilaean."
70 Toe Piter mah nihcae boih hma ah angphat, timaw na thuih ka panoek ai, tiah a naa.
He denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."
71 Im hmabang ih khongkha ah a caeh naah, kalah nongpata maeto mah anih to hnuk, nongpata mah to ah kaom kaminawk khaeah, Hae kami doeh Nazareth Jesu hoi nawnto oh, tiah a thuih.
Soon afterwards he went out and stood in the gateway, when another girl saw him, and said, addressing the people there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."
72 To naah anih mah, To kami to ka panoek ai, tiah lokmaihaih hoiah angphat taak let.
Again he denied it with an oath. "I do not know the man," he said.
73 Akra ai ah to ah angdoe kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, Piter khaeah, nang doeh nihcae thung ih kami maeto ah ni na oh; na paeh ih lok pongah amnoek boeh, tiah a naa o.
A short time afterwards the people standing there came and said to Peter, "Certainly you too are one of them, for your brogue shows it."
74 To naah anih mah, To kami to ka panoek ai, tiah tangoenghaih hoiah lokkamhaih to a sak. To pacoengah loe aa to khong roep.
Then with curses and oaths he declared, "I do not know the man." Immediately a cock crowed,
75 Jesu mah, aakhong ai naah, vai thumto kai nang phat taak tih, tiah thuih ih lok to Piter mah panoek. To pongah tasa bangah a caeh moe, palungset loiah a qah.
and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, how He had said, "Before the cock crows you will three times disown me." And he went out and wept aloud, bitterly.
