Matayo 27
1 Pakwachele, achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulu ŵa ŵandu ŵajilene ichajile pakwaulaga Che Yesu.
Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2 Ŵataŵile magwedegwede, ŵanjigele, ŵampeleche ku che Pilato, jwankulu jwa Chiloma.
and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.
3 Pelepo, che Yuda juŵangalawiche, paŵaiweni kuti Che Yesu amasile kulamulikwa, ŵalilasiche muntima, ŵausisye kwa achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulu ŵa ŵandu ipande selasini ya feza.
Then Judas, which betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Ŵaasalile, “Leŵile kwa kuntyosya mundu jwangali ni sambi aulajikwe.” Nambo ŵele ŵanyawo ŵatite, “Yeleyo ili yetuwe? Chimmanyilile mwasyene.”
saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou [to it].
5 Nombejo ŵaponyele feza sila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵakopweche paasa, ŵajawile kukulitaŵilila.
And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.
6 Achakulu ŵambopesi ŵasijigele feza sila, nikuti, “Ngalumbana kusiŵika kwa jwakugosa feza sya Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pakuŵa sili feza sisyapatikene kwa kuulaga.”
And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.
7 Nipele, ŵajilene, ŵasumile ngunda wa lilongo kuti paŵe pakwasichila achalendo.
And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
8 Nipele, mpaka lelo jino wele ngunda wo ukuŵilanjikwa ngunda uwasumikwe kwa feza sisyapatikene kwa kuulaga.
Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9 Kwa yeleyo maloŵe gaŵaŵechete che Yelemia jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu gamalile gagakuti, “Ŵajigele ipande selasini ya feza, malinga ni malipilo gaŵajilene Ŵaisilaeli kulipa kwa ligongo lyao.
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom [certain] of the children of Israel did price;
10 Feza syo ŵasumile ngunda wa lilongo, mpela iŵanajisye Ambuje.”
and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
11 Che Yesu ŵajimi mmbujo mwa jwankulu jwa chilambo. Nipele, jwankulu jwa Chiloma ŵammusisye, “Ana mmwe ni Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?” Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Mmwe mmechete.”
Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
12 Nambo achakulu ŵambopesi ni achachekulu paŵammechetelaga, nganajanga.
And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Nipele che Pilato ŵammusisye, “Ana ngankupilikana ganagose gele gakummechetela go?”
Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14 Nambo Che Yesu nganajanga namose liloŵe limo, jwankulu jwa Chiloma jo ŵasimosile nnope.
And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marveled greatly.
15 Yasyoŵeleche jwankulu jwa Chiloma kwagopolela Myahudi jumo jwataŵikwe juŵansachile katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka.
Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.
16 Kele katema ko paliji ni jwantawe juŵamanyiche nnope, liina lyakwe che Balaba.
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Nipele, paŵasongangene ŵandu pamo, che Pilato ŵausisye, “Ana nkusaka nangopole jwapi mwa ŵele ŵaŵili, che Balaba pane Che Yesu jwakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito?”
When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18 Pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵantyosisye kwa ligongo lya wiu.
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.
19 Che Pilato paŵatemi pa chitengu cha kulamulila, ŵankwawo ŵaichenawo utenga wanti, “Nkalipasyapasya kutenda chachili chose nkati jwele mundu jwambone jo, pakuŵa lelo lasile mu sagamisi kwa ligongo lyakwe.”
And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20 Nambo achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulu ŵane ŵanyenjile ŵandu kuti ŵaŵende agopolwe che Balaba ni ŵaulaje Che Yesu.
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 Che Pilato ŵausisye ŵanyawo, “Nkunsaka jwapi nangopolele mwa ŵele ŵaŵili ŵa?” Ŵajanjile, “Che Balaba!”
But the governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
22 Che Pilato ŵausisye ŵanyawo, “Sano, naatende chichi Che Yesu jwakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito?” Ŵanawose ŵatite, “Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba!”
Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus which is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.
23 Nambo che Pilato ŵausisye, “Ligongochi? Ungalumbana chi watesile?” Ŵanyawo ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba!”
And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 Nipele, che Pilato paŵaiweni kuti ngakukombola kupanganya chachili chose nambo kutindiganya kukutanda, ŵajigele meesi ni kunaŵa makono mmbujo pa ŵandu ni ŵatite, “Une ngangulipasyapasya nkati chiwa cha aju mundu ju, chinyimanyilile mwachinsyene.”
So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: see ye [to it].
25 Ŵandu ŵanawose ŵatite, “Miasi jao jiŵe pachanya petu ni achiŵana ŵetu!”
And all the people answered and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.
26 Nipele che Pilato ŵagopolele che Balaba kutyochela mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, nambo paŵamasile kumputa Che Yesu ibokola ŵantyosisye kukwaŵamba pa nsalaba.
Then released he unto them Barabbas: but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Nipele ŵangondo ŵa jwankulu jwa Chiloma ŵanjinjisye Che Yesu nkati likome, wansyungwile mpingo wose.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the palace, and gathered unto him the whole band.
28 Ŵammusile nguo syao, ŵammwasisye mwinjilo wechejeu wa chimwenye.
And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 Nipele ŵakolosiye chindu mpela singwa ja miiŵa, ŵammwasisye mu ntwe, sooni ŵammichile nnasi kundyo. Ŵatindiŵele mmbujo mwao ni kuntendela chanache achitiji, “Tukunkomasya Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi!”
And they plaited a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 Ŵansunile mata, ŵaujigele nnasi ula ni kumputa mu ntwe.
And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.
31 Paŵamasile kuntendela chanache, ŵammusile mwinjilo ula ni kuntakusya nguo syao, nipele ŵampeleche kukwaŵamba pa nsalaba.
And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.
32 Paŵajaulaga, ŵansimene mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Simoni jwa musi wa ku Kulene, ŵankanganichisye kujigala nsalaba u Che Yesu.
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go [with them], that he might bear his cross.
33 Paŵaiche peuto papakuŵilanjikwa Goligota, malumbo gakwe, peuto pa Chikalakasa cha Ntwe,
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,
34 ŵampele divai jewanganye chindu chakuŵaŵa kutyosya kupeteka. Nambo Che Yesu nkupasya pe ŵakanile kung'wa.
they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35 Ŵaŵambile pa nsalaba, nipele ŵagaŵene nguo syao kwakutendela gudugudu.
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots:
36 Ŵatemi pepala, ŵaliji nkwalindilila.
and they sat and watched him there.
37 Pachanya ntwe wakwe pa nsalaba ŵaŵisile chibao cha maloŵe gagalembekwe, “Aŵa ni Che Yesu, Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi.”
And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Paliji ni ŵachiswamba ŵaŵili ŵaŵambikwe pamo nawo, jumo kunchiji ni jwine kundyo.
Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left.
39 Ŵandu ŵaŵapitaga pelepo ŵantukene achipukunyaga mitwe jao nikuti,
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
40 “Mmwe jumwatite kuti nkukombola kujigumula Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kujitaŵa kwa moŵa gatatu. Sambano nlikulupusye mwasyene. Iŵaga mmwe ndi Mwana jwa Akunnungu, ntuluche pa nsalaba po!”
and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Iyoyo peyo achakulu ŵambopesi pamo ni ŵakwiganya malajisyo ni achachekulu ŵantendele chanache achitiji,
In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,
42 “Ŵakulupwisye ŵane, nambo asyene ngakukombola kulikulupusya! Iŵaga ŵele ali Mwenye jwa Ŵaisilaeli! Sambano atuluche pa nsalaba po, noweji tutwakulupile.
He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.
43 Ŵaakulupilile Akunnungu ni kuŵecheta kuti ŵele ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu, nipele, iŵaga Akunnungu akunsaka ŵakulupusye sambano.”
He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 Iyoyo peyo ŵeŵala uŵaŵambikwe pamo nawo pa nsalaba nombe ŵantukene.
And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.
45 Chitandile lyuŵa pantwe mpaka saa tisa, chilambo chose chaliji chipi.
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 Pajaiche saa tisa Che Yesu ŵalisile kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani?” Malumbo gakwe, “Akunnungu ŵangu, Akunnungu ŵangu, kwachichi mulesile?”
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵajimi pele paŵapilikene yele ŵatite, “Akwaŵilanga che Elia.”
And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.
48 Jumo jwao ŵautwiche, ŵajigele lidodoki ni kunyoya mu divai jakuipa, ŵajiŵisile mu nnasi, ŵapele ang'we.
And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 Ŵane ŵatite, “Nnindilile tulole iŵaga che Elia chaiche kukwakulupusya.”
And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.
50 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵalisile sooni kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, ŵajasiche.
And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 Pelepo nguo ja lusasa ja Nyuumba ja Akunnungu japapwiche pambindikati, kutyochela mwinani mpaka paasi, chilambo chatinganyiche ni lwala syapalwiche.
And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;
52 Malembe gaunukwiche ni iilu ya ŵandu ŵajinji ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵajasiche ŵasyuchikwe.
and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;
53 Nombewo ŵakopweche mmalembe, ni Che Yesu paŵamasile kusyuka, ŵajinjile mu mmusi wa Akunnungu, yaani Yelusalemu, ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaweni.
and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.
54 Nipele, jwankulu jwa ŵangondo ni ŵangondo ŵane ŵaŵaliji pamo nawo achinlindililaga Che Yesu paŵachiweni chilambo chininkutinganyika ni gagakopochele gala, ŵajogwepe nnope, ŵatite, “Isyene aju mundu ju ŵaliji Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
55 Pelepo paliji ni achakongwe ŵajinji ŵaŵalolechesyaga kwakutali. Ŵanyawo ni ŵeŵala ŵaŵankuiye Che Yesu kutyochela ku Galilaya ni kwatumichila.
And many women were there beholding from afar, which had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56 Mwa ŵele ŵanyawo ŵaliji che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala ni che Maliamu achikulugwe che Yakobo ni che Yusufu, pamo ni achikulu ŵa ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo.
among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Pakwaswele, ŵaiche mundu jumo jwa chipanje jwa musi wa ku Alimataya liina lyao che Yusufu, nombejo jwaliji jwakulijiganya jwa Che Yesu.
And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
58 Ŵajawile kwa che Pilato, ŵaŵendile apegwe chiilu chi Che Yesu. Che Pilato ŵalamwile kuti apegwe.
this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.
59 Che Yusufu ŵachijigele chiilu chila, ŵachiŵijilile nguo jeswela mbee jajili jasambano,
And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 Che Yusufu ŵachiŵisile chiilu chi Che Yesu mu lilembe lyasambano liŵasepile palwala kwa ligongo lyakwe nsyene. Nipele, ŵaligalambulile liganga lyekulungwa pa nnango wa lilembe ni kutyoka.
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
61 Che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala ni che Maliamu ŵane ŵala ŵatemi aninkulolechesya ku lilembe.
And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Malaŵi jakwe, yaani lyuŵa lyakuliŵika chile kwa ligongo lya Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo ŵajaulile che Pilato,
Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,
63 Ŵatite, “Achimwene, tukukumbuchila kuti jwakulambusya jula akanaŵe kuwa ŵatite, ‘Pakumala moŵa gatatu chisyuche.’
saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.
64 Kwayele tukummenda mwasalile ŵangondo ajaule akalilindilile lilembe kwa moŵa gatatu, kuti ŵakulijiganya ŵao anakombole kuchijigala chiilu chao ni kwasalila ŵandu kuti asyuchile. Akuno kulambusya kwa mbesi kuno chikuŵe kwawamba nnope kupunda kwaandanda kula.”
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.
65 Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Ayaga, nkwete ŵangondo, njaule nkalilindilile inkuti pakukombola.”
Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go your way, make it [as] sure as ye can.
66 Nipele, ŵajawile, ŵalilindilile lilembe, ŵaŵisile chiugulilo peganga ni kwaleka ŵangondo kulindilila.
So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.
