Matayo 27
1 Pakwachele, achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulu ŵa ŵandu ŵajilene ichajile pakwaulaga Che Yesu.
Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Yeshua to put him to death.
2 Ŵataŵile magwedegwede, ŵanjigele, ŵampeleche ku che Pilato, jwankulu jwa Chiloma.
They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius 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 Judah, who betrayed him, when he saw that Yeshua was condemned, felt remorse, 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? You see to it.”
5 Nombejo ŵaponyele feza sila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵakopweche paasa, ŵajawile kukulitaŵilila.
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then 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.”
The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s 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.
They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
8 Nipele, mpaka lelo jino wele ngunda wo ukuŵilanjikwa ngunda uwasumikwe kwa feza sisyapatikene kwa kuulaga.
Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to 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 that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
10 Feza syo ŵasumile ngunda wa lilongo, mpela iŵanajisye Ambuje.”
and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded 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 Yeshua stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Yeshua said to him, “So you say.”
12 Nambo achakulu ŵambopesi ni achachekulu paŵammechetelaga, nganajanga.
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 Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
14 Nambo Che Yesu nganajanga namose liloŵe limo, jwankulu jwa Chiloma jo ŵasimosile nnope.
He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marvelled greatly.
15 Yasyoŵeleche jwankulu jwa Chiloma kwagopolela Myahudi jumo jwataŵikwe juŵansachile katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka.
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
16 Kele katema ko paliji ni jwantawe juŵamanyiche nnope, liina lyakwe che Balaba.
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 to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Yeshua who is called Messiah?”
18 Pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵantyosisye kwa ligongo lya wiu.
For he knew that because of 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.”
While he was sitting on the judgement seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today 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 to ask for Barabbas and destroy Yeshua.
21 Che Pilato ŵausisye ŵanyawo, “Nkunsaka jwapi nangopolele mwa ŵele ŵaŵili ŵa?” Ŵajanjile, “Che Balaba!”
But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
22 Che Pilato ŵausisye ŵanyawo, “Sano, naatende chichi Che Yesu jwakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito?” Ŵanawose ŵatite, “Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba!”
Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Yeshua who is called Messiah?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
23 Nambo che Pilato ŵausisye, “Ligongochi? Ungalumbana chi watesile?” Ŵanyawo ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba!”
But the governor said, “Why? What evil has 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 nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”
25 Ŵandu ŵanawose ŵatite, “Miasi jao jiŵe pachanya petu ni achiŵana ŵetu!”
All the people answered, “May 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 he released Barabbas to them, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Nipele ŵangondo ŵa jwankulu jwa Chiloma ŵanjinjisye Che Yesu nkati likome, wansyungwile mpingo wose.
Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28 Ŵammusile nguo syao, ŵammwasisye mwinjilo wechejeu wa chimwenye.
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
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!”
They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 Ŵansunile mata, ŵaujigele nnasi ula ni kumputa mu ntwe.
They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 Paŵamasile kuntendela chanache, ŵammusile mwinjilo ula ni kuntakusya nguo syao, nipele ŵampeleche kukwaŵamba pa nsalaba.
When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, 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.
As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
33 Paŵaiche peuto papakuŵilanjikwa Goligota, malumbo gakwe, peuto pa Chikalakasa cha Ntwe,
When they came to 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 sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35 Ŵaŵambile pa nsalaba, nipele ŵagaŵene nguo syao kwakutendela gudugudu.
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing amongst 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.”
They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS YESHUA, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 Paliji ni ŵachiswamba ŵaŵili ŵaŵambikwe pamo nawo, jumo kunchiji ni jwine kundyo.
Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39 Ŵandu ŵaŵapitaga pelepo ŵantukene achipukunyaga mitwe jao nikuti,
Those who passed by blasphemed 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, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Iyoyo peyo achakulu ŵambopesi pamo ni ŵakwiganya malajisyo ni achachekulu ŵantendele chanache achitiji,
Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the 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, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 Ŵaakulupilile Akunnungu ni kuŵecheta kuti ŵele ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu, nipele, iŵaga Akunnungu akunsaka ŵakulupusye sambano.”
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44 Iyoyo peyo ŵeŵala uŵaŵambikwe pamo nawo pa nsalaba nombe ŵantukene.
The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on 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?”
About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
47 Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵajimi pele paŵapilikene yele ŵatite, “Akwaŵilanga che Elia.”
Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
48 Jumo jwao ŵautwiche, ŵajigele lidodoki ni kunyoya mu divai jakuipa, ŵajiŵisile mu nnasi, ŵapele ang'we.
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
49 Ŵane ŵatite, “Nnindilile tulole iŵaga che Elia chaiche kukwakulupusya.”
The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
50 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵalisile sooni kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, ŵajasiche.
Yeshua 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.
Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52 Malembe gaunukwiche ni iilu ya ŵandu ŵajinji ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵajasiche ŵasyuchikwe.
The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who 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 out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to 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 those who were with him watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, 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.
Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua from Galilee, serving 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.
Amongst them were Miriam Magdalene, Miriam the mother of Jacob and Yosi, 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.
When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Yeshua’s disciple, came.
58 Ŵajawile kwa che Pilato, ŵaŵendile apegwe chiilu chi Che Yesu. Che Pilato ŵalamwile kuti apegwe.
This man went to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 Che Yusufu ŵachijigele chiilu chila, ŵachiŵijilile nguo jeswela mbee jajili jasambano,
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 cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
61 Che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala ni che Maliamu ŵane ŵala ŵatemi aninkulolechesya ku lilembe.
Miriam Magdalene was there, and the other Miriam, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Malaŵi jakwe, yaani lyuŵa lyakuliŵika chile kwa ligongo lya Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo ŵajaulile che Pilato,
Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
63 Ŵatite, “Achimwene, tukukumbuchila kuti jwakulambusya jula akanaŵe kuwa ŵatite, ‘Pakumala moŵa gatatu chisyuche.’
saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will 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 tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Ayaga, nkwete ŵangondo, njaule nkalilindilile inkuti pakukombola.”
Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
66 Nipele, ŵajawile, ŵalilindilile lilembe, ŵaŵisile chiugulilo peganga ni kwaleka ŵangondo kulindilila.
So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
