< Luke 22 >

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
Lino pobwe lyachinkwa chitakwe bumena chakali chaamba kusika, litegwa Pasika.
2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.
BaPayizi bapati alimwi abalembi bakalikuyaandula mbubanga balabika Jesu kulufu, nkaambo bakalikuyoowa bantu.
3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
Lino Satani wakanjila muli Judasi Isikkaliyoti, ooyo wakali umwi wabalikkumi ababili.
4 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.
Judasi wakayinka kubapayizi bapatki akubapati babasilumamba waakubaambila mbanga ulapeda Jesu kulimbabo.
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
Bakabotelwa alimwi bazuminana kuti bamupe mali.
6 Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.
Wakazumina alimwi wakayaandula mweenya wakubapa kule abantu.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.
Nibwakasika buzuba bwachinkwa chitakwe bumena, aawo nikwakeelede kupayigwa kabelele kakwiindilila.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”
Jesu wakatuma Pita a Joni kaamba kuti, “Mweende mukatubambile chakulya cha Pasika kuchitila kuti tzolye.”
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
Bakabuzya kulinguwe bati, “Nkookuli nkoyanda kuti tukachite mabambe aaya?”
10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,
Wakabasandula kuti, “Amulange naa mwanjila mumuunzi, mulaswaana mwaalumi utukkide nongo yamanzi. Mukamutobele mung'anda eeyo njatakanjile.
11 and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
Amukatedi kuli muna ng'anda, “Muyiisi wati kulinduwe, ilikuli ng'anda yakulida, oomo munditalide Pasika abasikwiiya bangu?”
12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
Uyokutondezya n'anda mpati yakulala yakujulu iili aazyoonse. Kachite mabambe ooko.”
13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
Aboobo bakiinka, alimwi bakujana zyoonse mbuli mbakali waamba kulimbabo. Mpawo bakabamba kulya kwa Pasika.
14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.
Eelyo chiindi nichakasika, wakakkala aansi abasikwiiya.
15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Ndalikuyandisya kapati kulya Pasika andinywe nkesinapenzegwa,
16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
Nkaambo ndati kulindinywe, nsikoyoolya lubo kusikila zyazuzikizigwa mubwaami bwa Leza.”
17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
Mpawo Jesu wakabweza nkomeki, alimwi eelyo nakapa kulumba, wakati, “Mubweze eechi, alimwi mukachaabane aakati kanu.
18 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
Nkaambo ndati kulindinywe, nsikoyoonywa muchelo wa musaansa lubo kusikila bwaami bwa Leza bwasika.”
19 And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
Mpawo wakabweza chinkwa, alimwi eelyo nakapa kulumba, wakachikwamuna, alimwi wakabapa, kati, “Ooyu mubili wangu, ooyo wapegwa akaambo kanu. Mukachite eechi mukuyeya ndime.”
20 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.
Wakabweza nkomeki munzila yeeelene musule lya chilalilo, kalikuti, “Eeyi nkomeki nchizuminano changu chipya mu gazi lyangu, lyatilwa akaambo kanu.
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
Pesi muswiilile. Ooyo undiwuzya uli andime antafula.
22 Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”
Nkaambo Mwana mulombe wa Muntu nchobeni uliinka mbuli mbuzyakabambwa. Pesi mawe kuliwoyo muntu uyonduuzya!”
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
Bakatalika kuzuwisyania chabochabo kuti ngwani unga uyookonzya kuchita eechi.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
Mpawo kwakaba kukazyania aakati kabo aatala akuti nguuli wabo wakalikubwezwa kali mupati.
25 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
Wakati kulimbabo, “Baami ba bamaasi mbasimalelo aatala ambabo, alimwi aabo bali aabweendelezi aatala ambabo babonwa mbuli baabo bachita bubotu kubantu babo.
26 But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
Pesi tazyeelede kuba boobu pe andinywe. Anikuti, muleke ooyo mupati aakati kanu abe mbuli muniini, alimwi muleke ooyo uli alugwasyo abe mbuli ooyo ubeleka.
27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.
Nkaambo ngwani mupati, ooyo uukkala antafula, na ooyo ubeleka? Nikubaboobo ndili aakati kanu mbuli woyo uubeleka.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
Pesi ndinywe nimwakiinkilila kunembo andime mumasukukusyo aangu.
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
Ndapa kulindinywe bwaami, mbuli Taata wangu mbakapa bwaami kulindime,
30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
kuti mukonzye kulya akunywa aantafula lyangu mubwaami bwangu, alimwi uyookkala azyuuno kolikubeteka mikowa iilikkumi ayibili ya Izilayeli.
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
Sayimoni, Sayimoni, chenjela, Satani wakukumbila, kuti amwi walikukonzya kukupupulula mbuli witi.
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
Pesi ndakukombela, kuti lusyomo lwako lutakachilwi. Niwabweda msule lubo, simwa bakulana bako.”
33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”
Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Mwaami, ndililibambilide kwiinka ayebo koonse kuntolongo alimwi a kulufu.”
34 But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
Jesu wakamusandula, “Ndakwaambila, Pita, mukuku takoyookokolika buzuba obuno, iwebo kotanandikaka tutatu kuti tondizi pe.”
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Eelyo nindakamutuma aanze kamutakwe chikkwama chemali, chikkwama chazyoonse, na nsangu, mwakakubula chintu na?” Bakasandula, “Takwe pe.”
36 “Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
Mpawo wakti kulimbabo, “Pesi lino, ooyo uli echikkwama, mumuleke achibweze, alimwi lubo chikkwama chazyoonse. Ooyo utakwe panga weelede kuzya chikobela chakwe alimwi awule limwi.
37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”
Nkaambo ndati kulindinywe, eezyo zilembedwe aatala andime zyeelede kuzuzikizigwa, 'Wakabalwa aantomwe abatakwe mulawu.'
38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
Mpawo bakati, “Mwaami, langa! Ngaya mapanga obile.”wakati kulimba, kwakkwana.”
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
Jesu wakiinka, mbuli mbakalikukkala kachita chiindi chiingi, ku Chilundu cha Olivi, alimwi basikwiiya bakamutobela.
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
Eelyo nibakasika, wakati kulimbabo, “Mukombe kuti mutanjili mumasukusyo.”
41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
Wakazwa aakati kabo afwifwi aasikila bbwe lyakuwala amaboko, alimwi wakafugama aansi alimwi wakakomba,
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
kati, “Taata, na kamuyanda, mugwisye nkomeki eeyi kuzwa kulindime. Nikubaboobo pe pe lwangu luyando, pesi lwanu ngalukachitwe.”
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
Mpawo mungelo kuzwa kujulu wakaboneka kulinguwe, kalikumusimya.
44 And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Kali mukulila kupati, wakakombesya loko chanchobeni, alimwi nkasaalo yakwe yakaba mbuli malosi mapati agazi kayilikulokela anyika.
45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
Eelyo nakazwa kukukomba kwakwe, wakaya kui basikwiiya bakwe alimwi wakabajana kabalikoona akaambo kabuusu bwakwe
46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
alimwi wakababuzya, “Nkaambonzi nimulikoona? Mubuke mukombe, kuti mutakanjili mumasukuusyo.”
47 While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.
Aawo nakachilikwaambula, bona, inkamu yakaboneka, aantomwe a Judasi, umwi wa bali kkumi ababili, kali kubazulwida. Wakaza afwifwi a Jesu kuzomumyonta,
48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
pesi Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Judasi ulikuuzya Mwana mulombe wa Muntu alumyonto?”
49 Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
Eelyo bakazyungulukide Jesu nibakabona zyakali kuchitikana, bakati, “Mwaami, tuume na apanga?”
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
Mpawo umwi wabo wakawuma mulanda wa mupayizi mupati, alimwi wakakwapula kutwi kwakwe kwachilisyo.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.
Jesu wakati, “Eezyo zyakkwana!” Wakaguma kutwi kwakwe, alimwi wakamuponia.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?
Jesu wakati kuli silutwe wa bapayizi ba muchikombelo, alimwi akubapati bakamubukila, “Muza mbuli kumubbi, kamuli amapanga a nkoli?
53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”
Eelyo nindakali aandinywe mazuba oonse muchikombele, takwe nimwakabika maboko aanu alindime. Pesi eeli ndihola lyanu, alimwi bweendelezi bwamumudima.”
54 Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.
Kabamukwensa, bakamubweza alimwi bamutola kun'anda yamupayizi mupati. Pesi Pita wakalikutobela kulekule.
55 When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
Musule lyakudukula mulilo aakati kabbetekelo alimwi kabali bakkala aansi aantomwe, Pita wakakkala aakatai kabo.
56 A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.
Umwi mulanda mwanakazi wakamubona aawo nakakkende mumumuni wamulilo alimwi wakalanga kulinguwe chakumudunamina alimwi wakati, “Ooyu mwaalumi alakwe wakali aanguwe.”
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
Pesi Pita wakakaka, kati, “Mwanakazi, nsimwizi pe.”
58 A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
Musule lyakayindi kaniini loko umwi wakamubona, alimwi wakati, “Nduwe umwi wabo.” Pesi Pita wakati, “Mwaalumi, tensi ndime.”
59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
Nikwakiinda hola lyomwe uumbi mwaalumi wakasisimpizya alimwi wakati, “Nchobeni mwaalumi ooyu alakwe wakali aanguwe, nkaambo ngwaku Galili.”
60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
Pesi Pita wakati, “Mwaalumi, nsizi pe eecho ncholikwaamba.” Chakufwambaana, nakachilikwaambula, mukuku wakakokolika.
61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
Wakachebuka, Mwaami wakalanga Pita, alimwi Pita wakayeya ijwi lya Mwaami, eelyo nakati kulinguwe, “Mukuku katanaakokolika sunu uyondikaka tutatu.”
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
Pita wakiinka aanze alimwi wakakulila kapati.
63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
Mpawo baalumi bakalindide Jesu bakamuseka alimwi bakamuuma.
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
Bakabika chivumbyo aatala lyakwe alimwi bakamubuzya, kabati, “Sinsima! Ngwani ooyo wakuuma?”
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
Bakaambula zimwi zyiingi zintu aatala a Jesu, kabalikumutuka.
66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,
Chakufwambaana mbuli mbulyakali zuba, bapati babantu bakaswaanana aantomwe, bapayizi bapati alimwi abalembi. Bakamutola mu Nkuta
67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.
alimwi bakati, “Na koli Kkilisito, twaambile.” Pesi wakati kulimbabo, “Na ndamwaambila, tamukoyoondisyoma pe,
68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
alimwi na ndamubuzya, tamukoyoosandula pe.
69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
Pesi kuzwa lino kaziya kunembo, Mwana mulombe wa Muntu unoyokkede kuchilisyo chamanguzu aa Leza.”
70 So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”
Boonse bakati, “Nkokwaamba kuti uli Mwana mulombe wa Leza?” Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Mwaamba kuti ndime.”
71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
Bakati, “Nkaambonzi nituchiyanda mukamboni? Nkaambo lwesu tobweni twalimvwida kuzwa kumulomo wakwe.”
