Mateyo 27
1 Lino nikwaba kuseni, boonse bapayizi bapati abapati babantu bakalangula inzila mbubanga balamubika kulufu Jesu.
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 Bakamwaanga, akumutola aanze, akumusisya kuli Payileti mwendelezi.
They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Mpawo Judasi, wakamuuzya, nakabona kuti Jesu wapegwa mulandu, wakasanduka akujosya mali yansiliva ili makumi atatu kubapayizi bapati akuzuluzi,
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 alimwi wakati ndabisya akwaaba bulowa butakwe mulandu. Pesi bakati, “Niinzi echo kulindiswe? Libonene olikke.”
saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
5 Mpawo wakasowela aansi tumpanzi twansiliva mungánda ya Leza, akwinka, alimwi wakaya anze wakulisina.
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 Mupayizi mupati wakatubweza tupanzi twansiliva akwamba kuti, “tachili mumulawu pe kuti eechi chibikwe muchiyobwedo nkambo muulo wabulowa.”
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 Bakambuuzyania antoomwe, alimwi bakawula muunda wamubumbi muzikkilwa beenzu.
They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
8 Nkambo kacheechi, oyo muunda wakategwa, “Muunda wabulowa.” kusika lino.
Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
9 Mpawo echo chakambidwe amusinsimi Jelemiya chakazuzikizigwa, chaamba kuti, “Bakabweza tumpanzi tulimakumi ataatu twansiliva, muulo wakabamba abana ba Izilayeli,
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 alimwi bakawupa kuti muunda wamubumbi, mbuli Mwami mbakandilayilila.
and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
11 Lino Jesu wakayimikila kunembo lyamwendelezi, alimwi mwendelezi wakamubuzya, “Uli Mwami waba -Juda na?” Jesu wakavwila kuti, “wamba mbubo.”
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 Pesi nakatamikizigwa amupayizi mupati abapati, takwepe nakasandula.
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Mpawo Payileti wakamwambila kuti, “Sa totumvwide twambo ntubalo kukutamikizya?”
Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
14 Pesi takwe nakasandula niliba ijwi lyomwe, awo mwendelezi wakagamba kapati.
He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marvelled greatly.
15 Lino kupobwe mbuli bwakali mulawu wamwendelezi kuti bagwisye umwi mwaange wasaluzigwa abantu.
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
16 Kuchindi eecho kwakali mwaange wakale mpewo utegwa Bbalabbasi.
They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Lino nibakabungana antomwe Payileti wakabambila kuti, “ngwani ngumuyanda kuti ndimwangunwide? Bbalabbasi na Jesu utegwa ngu Kkilisito?”
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 Wakalizi kuti bapeda Jesu kulinguwe nkambo kakwemuzya.
For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19 Awo nakakkede achuuno chabbetekelo, mwanakazi wakwe wakamutumina ijwi elyo lyakati, “utachiti chintu kumwalumi oyo utakwe kaambo. Nkambo ndakatazigwa loko sunu nkambo kaziloto nzindalota atala anguwe.”
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 Lino bapayizi bapati abendelezi bakasungilizya makamu abantu kuti bakumbile Bbalabbasi, akupegwa Jesu kuti akajiigwe.
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Yeshua.
21 Mwendelezi wakababuzya kuti, “Nguuli akati kababili ngumuyanda kuti ndimwangunwide?” bakaamba kuti, “Bbalabbasi.”
But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
22 Payileti wakababuzya kuti niinzi nchinjelede kuchitila Jesu utegwa ngu Kkilisito? Bakamuvwiila boonse bakati, Ngagankaminwe.”
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 Mpawo wakamba kuti, “Nkambonzi, mbubiinzi mbwaachita?” Pesi bakompololesya kapati, “Mumugankamine.”
But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
24 Lino Payileti nakabona kuti takwe chintu nchakali wajana, pesi kuti kunyongana kwakali kwatalika, wakabweza maanzi wasamba maboko kunembo lyamakamu abantu, akubambila kuti, tandikwe pe mulandu kubulowa bwamwalumi oyu. Amulibonene lwenu.”
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 Boonse bantu bakati, “Mbubo bulowa bwakwe abube kulindiswe abana besu.”
All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
26 Mpawo wakabaangunwida Bbalabbasi, pesi wakawuma Jesu achimboko akumupeda kulimbabo kuti akagankaminwe.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Mpawo basilumamba abeendelezi bakabweza Jesu akumutola mukati kangánda yabwendelelezi bapati akubungania nkamu mpati yoonse yabasilumamba.
Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28 Bakamuzwatununa akumusamika bbaki lisalalisya.
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
29 Bakaluka musini wamvwa akumuzwatika amutwe wakwe, akumubika mufunko kukuboko kwakwe kwalulyo. Bakafugama aansi kunembo lyakwe akumuniaka, kabamba kuti, “Mwalemekwa Mwami waba Juda!”
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 Bakamuswida mate, alimwi bakabweza mufunko akumuuma mumutwe kabalokwindulula.
They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 Lino nibakamuniaka, bakamuzwatununa bbaki lyabo akumuzwatika zisamo zyakwe, akumutola kuyomugankamina.
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 Awo nibakazwa aanze, bakajana mwalumi uzwa ku Sayilini utegwa Sayimoni, ngubakaangila kuti beende aamwi kuti anyumpule chiingano chakwe.
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 Bakasika kubusena butegwa Gologota, kachamba kuti, “Mbusena bwatupepe twamitwe.”
When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
34 Bakamupa wayini uvwelene andulwe kuti anywe. Pesi nakalabila wakakaka kunywa.
they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35 Lino nibaka mugankamina, bakabaana zyakusama zyakwe akuuma chisolo,
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing amongst them, casting lots,
36 alimwi bakakkala ani kabali kumulinda.
and they sat and watched him there.
37 Atala amutwe wakwe bakabikka bulembo bumubeteka, bwamba kuti, “Ooyu ngu Jesu Mwami waba Juda.”
They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS YESHUA, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 Kwakali basikubba bobile mbakagankaminwa aabo, umwi kuchimweensi aumwi kuchilisyo chakwe.
Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39 Aabo bakali kwinda enzila bakali kumutukila, kabatikinia mitwe yabo
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
40 kabamba kuti, “Iwe nuyomwaya ngánda ya Leza akwiyakulula mumazuba ataatu, lifutule omwini! do kuli Mwan a Leza, seluka achingano aawo!”
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 Munzila ikozyenie abalabo bapayizi bapati bakali kumuniaka kabala balembi abapati kabamba kuti,
Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
42 wakali kufutula bamwi, pesi we takonzyi pe kulifutula. Ngu Mwami wa Izilayeli. Ngaseluke aachingano, alimwi tuyomusyoma.
“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 Wakali kusyoma Leza, Leza ngamuvune lino, na Leza kayanda kumwangununa. Nkaambo wakali kwamba kuti ndimwana a Leza.”
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44 Munzila ikozyenie abalabo basikubba mbakagankamidwe aabo abalabo bakamutukila.
The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
45 Lino kuzwa kuchindi chahola lamusanu alimwi mudima wakasikila nyika yoonse kuyosika kuhola lyamusanu aane.
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 Nichakaba chiindi chamusanu mwaane, Jesu wakoompolola ejwi pati kaamba kuti, Eli, Eli, lama, sabakkatani?” Kazyamba kuti, Leza wangu Leza wangu, nkambonzi niwandisiya?”
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 Lino abo bakiimvwi mpawo bakazimvwa, bakaamba kuti, “ulikwiita Elayija.”
Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
48 Mpawo umwi wakachijana akuyobweza nsisa akwizuzya awayini ulwela, wakisekka kumufunko, elyo wakamupa kuti ayinywe
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
49 Bayingi boonse bakati, mumuleke alikke, Tumubone na Elayija uleza na kuzomufutula.”
The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
50 Mpawo Jesu wakalila lubo ajwi pati elyo wakapa muuya wakwe.
Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 Amubone, chisitilizyo changánda ya Leza chakanduka muzimpanzi zibili kuzwa kujulu kusika aansi, anyika yakandendema, amabwe akaanduka.
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 Tubanda twakavunuka, amibili yabasalali bakali boona yakabusigwa,
The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep were raised;
53 Bakazwa mutubanda musule lyakubuka kwakwe, bakanjila mugunzi lisalala, akuboneka kubayingi.
and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 Lino silumamba mupati abaabo bakali kulinda Jesu bakawubona muzuzumo azintu zyakachitika, bakayoowa baamba kuti, “Chamasimpe ooyu wali Mwana a Leza.”
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 Banakazi biingi bakali batobela Jesu kuzwa ku Galili kuti bamukutawukile bakali kulanga alaale.
Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua from Galilee, serving him.
56 Akati kabo kwakali Meli Magadalini, Meli banyina ba Jemusi a Jozefa, abanyina babana ba Zebbedi.
Amongst them were Miriam Magdalene, Miriam the mother of Jacob and Yosi, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Lino nilyakaba goko, kwakasika mwalumi uzwa ku Alimatiya, utegwa Jozefu, wakali sikwiiya wa Jesu.
When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Yeshua’s disciple, came.
58 Wakayinka kuli Payileti akuyokumbila mutunta wa Jesu. Mpawo Payileti wakalayilila kuti awupegwe.
This man went to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 Jozefu wakabweza mutunta, wamuzambilila mulembo utenteema,
Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
60 wakulazika mukabanda kakwe kapya nkakali wafokola mubbwe. Mpawo waka kkunkulisya ibbwe pati wasinka amulyango wenda.
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 Meli Magadalini amumwi Meli bakaliwo, bakalikkede kulubazu lyakabanda.
Miriam Magdalene was there, and the other Miriam, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Buzuba bwakatobela bwakali buzuba bwinda bwakulibambila, bapayizi bapati abaFalisi bakali bungene antomwe a Payileti.
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 Bakali kwamba kuti, “Mwami, tuchiyeeya ulya silweno nakachili kupona, wakaamba kuti, “kwinda mazuba ataatu ndiyobuka alubo.'
saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64 Nkinkaako layilila kuti kabanda kakwe kalindwe kusikila kubuzuba bwatatu. Chimwi chindi ulabona basikwiya bakwe basika bazomubba akwambila bantu, 'Kuti wabuka kuzwa kubafu.'Alweeno lwakumamanino ngalulayinda lwakusanguna.”
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 Payileti wakabambila kuti, “mwinke mukalinde mbuli mbumukonzya.”
Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
66 Mpawo bakiinka akuyochita kuti kabanda kalindwe, bakazilulula abbwe akubikka basikulinda.
So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
