Luke 22
1 Now the days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, were approaching.
Azɔ Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui si woyɔna be Ŋutitotoŋkeke la te tu aƒe.
2 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a way to execute Jesus. Yet truly, they were afraid of the people.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo nɔ ŋugble dem vevie le mɔ si dzi woato awu Yesu, ale be ʋunyaʋunya madzɔ le dukɔa me o la ŋuti, elabena wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m na dukɔa me viwo.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
Azɔ Satana ge ɖe Yuda Iskariɔt, ame si nye nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka la me,
4 And he went out and was speaking with the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, as to how he might hand him over to them.
ale wòyi nunɔlagãwo kple gbedoxɔmesrafowo ƒe amegãwo gbɔ be yeade aɖaŋu kple wo le mɔ nyuitɔ si dzi yeato ade Yesu asi na wo la ŋuti.
5 And they were glad, and so they made an agreement to give him money.
Edzɔ dzi na ameawo ŋutɔ be Yuda le klalo be yeakpe ɖe yewo ŋu, eya ta wodo ga home aɖe ŋugbe nɛ.
6 And he made a promise. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over, apart from the crowds.
Tso esia dzi la, Yuda de asi ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ si me woalé Yesu le amehawo ƒe manyamanya me la didi me.
7 Then the day of Unleavened Bread arrived, on which it was necessary to kill the Pascal lamb.
Azɔ Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui si dzi wowua ŋutitotolẽvi la le, eye woɖanɛ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã ƒe abolo la ɖo edzi.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat.”
Yesu dɔ Petro kple Yohanes be woado ŋgɔ aɖawɔ dzadzraɖo na yewoƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekea ɖuɖu.
9 But they said, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
Wobia be, “Afi ka nèdi be míayi aɖadzra ɖo?”
10 And he said to them: “Behold, as you are entering into the city, a certain man will meet you, carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him to the house into which he enters.
Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ne miege ɖe Yerusalem dua me teti ko la, miakpɔ ŋutsu aɖe si lé tsize ɖe ta wòazɔ va yina. Mikplɔe ɖo, eye miage ɖe aƒe si me wòage ɖo la me,
11 And you shall say to the father of the household: ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guestroom, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’
eye miagblɔ na aƒea tɔ be, ‘Míaƒe Nufiala be míbia wò be: Afi ka dzeƒe le, afi si nye kple nye nusrɔ̃lawo míaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le?’
12 And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And so, prepare it there.”
Aƒea tɔ akplɔ mi ayi dziƒoxɔa dzi, eye wòafia xɔ gã aɖe si me wodzra ɖo la mi. Teƒe lae nye ema. Miyi, eye miaɖo kplɔ̃ ɖe afi ma.”
13 And going out, they found it to be just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
Woyi dua me, eye wokpɔ be nu sia nu si Yesu gblɔ na wo la va eme tututu, ale wowɔ Ŋutitotoŋkeke la ƒe nuɖuɖu ɖoɖo da ɖi.
14 And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.
Yesu kple nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo va ɖo le ɣeyiɣi si woɖo ɖi la me, eye wo katã wonɔ kplɔ̃a ŋu hena nua ɖuɖu.
15 And he said to them: “With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.
Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Menɔ mɔ kpɔm vevie be maɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekea ƒe nuɖuɖu sia kpli mi hafi nye fukpekpewo nadze egɔme.
16 For I say to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
Elabena medi be mianya fifia be nyemagaɖui akpɔ o, va se ɖe esime woɖe nu si tututu wònye la ɖe go le mawufiaɖuƒea me.”
17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
Azɔ etsɔ wainkplu ɖeka, eye esi wòda akpe ɖe eta vɔ la, egblɔ na wo be, “Mixɔe, eye ame sia ame nanoe.
18 For I say to you, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives.”
Elabena mele egblɔm na mi be nyemagano waintsetse aɖeke me tsi akpɔ o, va se ɖe esime mawufiaɖuƒe la va.”
19 And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.”
Emegbe etsɔ abolo, eye esi wòda akpe na Mawu le eta vɔ la, eŋe eme, eye wòtsɔe na nusrɔ̃lawo hegblɔ be, “Esia nye nye ŋutilã si metsɔ na ɖe mia ta. Miwɔ esia hena ŋkuɖoɖo dzinye.”
20 Similarly also, he took the chalice, after he had eaten the meal, saying: “This chalice is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.
Eye nenema ke wòtsɔ kplu la le fiẽnuɖuɖu la megbe hegblɔ be, “Kplu sia nye nubabla yeye le nye ʋu si wokɔ ɖe anyi le mia ta la me.
21 But in truth, behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.
Ke yonyememɔfiala ƒe asi le kplɔ̃a dzi kplim.
22 And indeed, the Son of man goes according to what has been determined. And yet, woe to that man by whom he will be betrayed.”
Ele be Amegbetɔ Vi la naku abe ale si Mawu ɖoe ene. Gake baba na ame si adee asi!”
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, as to which of them might do this.
Nusrɔ̃lawo tsa ŋku godoo le wo nɔewo dome hebia be ame kae le nu sia tɔgbi wɔ ge.
24 Now there was also a contention among them, as to which of them seemed to be the greater.
Azɔ ʋiʋli ɖo nusrɔ̃lawo dome le ame si anye gãtɔ la ŋu.
25 And he said to them: “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them; and those who hold authority over them are called beneficent.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Xexe sia me fiawo ɖua aƒetɔ ɖe wo teviwo dzi, eye amegã bubuwo hã tea wo teviwo ɖe to, gake teviawo bua ame siawo katã amenuvelawoe.
26 But it must not be so with you. Instead, whoever is greater among you, let him become the lesser. And whoever is the leader, let him become the server.
Gake mele be wòanɔ nenema le mia dome o, ame si di be yeanye miaƒe amegã la, newɔ eɖokui subɔlae.
27 For who is greater: he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is not he who sits at table? Yet I am in your midst as one who serves.
Le xexea me la, aƒetɔ nɔa kplɔ̃ ŋu, eye eƒe subɔviwo va subɔnɛ. Gake esia mele mia dome le afii o! Elabena nyee nye miaƒe subɔvi.
28 But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.
Miawoe nye ame siwo do dzi nɔ anyi kplim le nye tetekpɔwo me,
29 And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,
eye nye la mele fiaɖuƒe ɖom anyi na mi abe ale si Fofonye ɖo fiaɖuƒe anyi nam ene.
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and so that you may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Miaɖu nu, ano nu le kplɔ̃ ŋu kplim le fiaɖuƒe ma me. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, mianɔ fiazikpuiwo dzi adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu Israel ƒe tokɔ wuieveawo.”
31 And the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.
Yesu gblɔ na Petro be, “Simɔn, Simɔn, Satana le mi katã dim be yeagbɔ mi abe ale si wogbɔa bli ene.
32 But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers.”
Gake medo gbe ɖa ɖe tawò be wò xɔse magabu keŋ o. Ale nenye be èdze si wò vodada, eye nègatrɔ va gbɔnye la, do ŋusẽ nɔviwò mamlɛawo hã, eye nàtu woƒe xɔse ɖe edzi.”
33 And he said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death.”
Simɔn ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒetɔ, mele klalo be mayi gaxɔ me kpli wò, eye maku kpli wò gɔ̃ hã.”
34 And he said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you have three times denied that you know me.” And he said to them,
Gake Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Petro na magblɔ nya aɖe na wò. Va se ɖe etsɔ fɔŋli hafi koklo naku atɔ la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃ be yemenyam gɔ̃ hã o.”
35 “When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”
Azɔ Yesu bia nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Esi medɔ mi be miyi ɖagblɔ nyanyui la eye mietsɔ ga, mɔzɔkotoku alo awu eve ɖe asi o eye miedo afɔkpa hã o ɖe, nane hiã mia?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Naneke mehiã mí o.”
36 And they said, “Nothing.” Then he said to them: “But now, let whoever has money take it, and likewise with provisions. And whoever does not have these, let him sell his coat and buy a sword.
Eyi edzi be, “Azɔ la, mitsɔ mɔzɔkotoku nenye be ɖe le mia si. Mitsɔ ga hã ɖe asi, eye ne yi mele mia dometɔ aɖe si o la, nedzra eƒe awuwo wòatsɔ ga la aƒle ɖee.
37 For I say to you, that what has been written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was esteemed with the wicked.’ Yet even these things about me have an end.”
Elabena ɣeyiɣi la ɖo bena nya si woŋlɔ ɖi tso ŋunye la nava eme be, ‘Wowui ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo dome.’ Le nyateƒe me la, nya siwo katã nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ tso ŋunye la ava eme.”
38 So they said, “Lord, behold, there are two swords here.” But he said to them, “It is sufficient.”
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, yi eve le mía si le afi sia.” Yesu gblɔ be, “Esɔ gbɔ.”
39 And departing, he went out, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
Azɔ abe ale si Yesu wɔnɛ ɖaa ene la, edo go le dua me yi ɖe Amito la dzi. Eye eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dze eyome.
40 And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
Ke esi woɖo teƒea la, egblɔ na wo be, “Mido gbe ɖa be tetekpɔ nagaɖu mia dzi o.”
41 And he was separated from them by about a stone’s throw. And kneeling down, he prayed,
Edzo le nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ, zɔ vie ko, eye wòdze klo do gbe ɖa be,
42 saying: “Father, if you are willing, take this chalice away from me. Yet truly, let not my will, but yours, be done.”
“Fofo, nenye wò lɔlɔ̃nu la, na kplu sia nato nunye ayi, gake menye nye lɔlɔ̃nu o, ke boŋ tɔwò ko woawɔ.”
43 Then an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more intensely;
Kasia mawudɔla aɖe tso dziƒo va do ŋusẽe,
44 and so his sweat became like drops of blood, running down to the ground.
elabena eƒe gbɔgbɔ nɔ veve sem ale gbegbe be fifia nɔ dzadzam le eŋu abe ʋu ene ɖe anyigba le esime wònɔ gbe dom ɖa atraɖii.
45 And when he had risen up from prayer and had gone to his disciples, he found them sleeping out of sorrow.
Mlɔeba la, etso le gbedoɖaƒe, eye wòtrɔ yi eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ, gake eva ke ɖe wo ŋu wonɔ alɔ̃ dɔm, elabena konyifafa na be woƒe lãme gbɔdzɔ.
46 And he said to them: “Why are you sleeping? Rise up, pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Alɔ̃ dɔm mielea? Mifɔ kaba! Mido gbe ɖa be miaɖu tetekpɔwo dzi.”
47 While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd arrived. And he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, went ahead of them and approached Jesus, in order to kiss him.
Ke esi wònɔ nya siawo gblɔm la, ameha aɖe do ɖe wo dzi. Yuda, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka nɔ ŋgɔ na wo. Yuda zɔ ɖe Yesu dzi, eye wògbugbɔ alɔgo nɛ abe lɔlɔ̃ ƒe dzesi ene.
48 And Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”
Gake Yesu biae be, “Yuda, nu ka ta nèwɔ esia ɖo, nugbugbɔe natsɔ ade Amegbetɔ Vi la asia?”
49 Then those who were around him, realizing what was about to happen, said to him: “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
Esi nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo kpɔ nu si be yeadzɔ la, wodo ɣli be, “Aƒetɔ, míwɔ avu kpli woa? Míetsɔ míaƒe yiawo ɖe asi!”
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
Kasia, nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka tsɔ eƒe yi kpa ɖusimeto na nunɔlagã ƒe subɔvi si nɔ ameawo dome.
51 But in response, Jesus said, “Permit even this.” And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Migawɔ avu kpli wo o, miɖe asi le wo ŋu ko.” Ale wòka asi afi si subɔvia ƒe to la nɔ ŋu, eye toa gaɖo eteƒe abe tsã ene.
52 Then Jesus said to the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him: “Have you gone out, as if against a thief, with swords and clubs?
Yesu trɔ ɖe nunɔlagãwo, hamemegãwo kple gbedoxɔmesrafowo ƒe amegã siwo nɔ ameha la ŋgɔ va la ŋu, eye wòbia wo be, “Adzodalae menye, eya ta mietsɔ kpowo kple yiwo va be yewoalém ɖo mahã?
53 When I was with you each day in the temple, you did not extend your hands against me. But this is your hour and that of the power of darkness.”
Nu ka ta mielém le gbedoxɔ la me o ɖo? Menɔa afi ma gbe sia gbe ɖe! Gake ɣeyiɣi siae nye ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ na mi, ɣeyiɣi si me Satana ƒe ŋusẽ le dzi ɖum.”
54 And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Yet truly, Peter followed at a distance.
Ale wolée, eye wokplɔe yi nunɔlagã ƒe aƒe me, eye Petro nɔ eyome ʋĩi gbɔna.
55 Now as they were sitting around a fire, which had been kindled in the middle of the atrium, Peter was in their midst.
Asrafowo do dzo ɖe xɔxɔnu le ƒuƒum, eye Petro va nɔ wo dome le afi ma.
56 And when a certain woman servant had seen him sitting in its light, and had looked at him intently, she said, “This one was also with him.”
Dɔlanyɔnuvi aɖe si kpɔ Petro dze sii la gblɔ be, “Ame sia hã nɔ Yesu yome kpɔ.”
57 But he denied him by saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
Ke Petro gbe gblɔ be, “Nyɔnu, nyemenya amea ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã o!”
58 And after a little while, another one, seeing him, said, “You also are one of them.” Yet Peter said, “O man, I am not.”
Le aɖabaƒoƒo ʋɛ aɖewo megbe la, ame bubu hã kpɔe, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Wò hã, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka tututue nènye!” Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, amegã menye wo dometɔ ɖekae menye o.”
59 And after the interval of about one hour had passed, someone else affirmed it, saying: “Truly, this one also was with him. For he is also a Galilean.”
Abe gaƒoƒo ɖeka megbe ene la, ame bubu hã va gblɔ kple kakaɖedzi be, “Menya be ame sia hã nye Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, elabena eya hã nye Galileatɔ abe Yesu ene.”
60 And Peter said: “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
Ke Petro gado dzi gblɔ be, “Ŋutsu, nyemenya naneke kura tso nu si gblɔm nèle la ŋu o.” Eye esi wòɖe nu le nya siawo me ko la, koklo ku atɔ.
61 And the Lord turned around and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord that he had said: “For before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me tututu la, Aƒetɔ la trɔ kpɔ Petro dũu. Kasia Petro ɖo ŋku Yesu ƒe nya siawo dzi be, “Hafi koklo naku atɔ etsɔ fɔŋli la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃.”
62 And going out, Peter wept bitterly.
Petro do go heyi ɖafa avi vevie.
63 And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.
Asrafo siwo le Yesu ŋu dzɔm la dze fewuɖuɖu le eŋu, eye wonɔ eƒom hã.
64 And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, saying: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
Wotsyɔ̃ nu mo nɛ, eye wobia tso esi be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi! Ame kae ƒo wò.”
65 And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.
Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, wodzu dzu ƒomevi geɖewo nɛ.
66 And when it was daytime, the elders of the people, and the leaders of the priests, and the scribes convened. And they led him into their council, saying, “If you are the Christ, tell us.”
Le ŋufɔke ŋdi kanya la, Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo, dumegãwo kple agbalẽfialawo va ɖi anyi, eye wokplɔ Yesu va woƒe ŋkumee.
67 And he said to them: “If I tell you, you will not believe me.
Wogblɔ be, “Nenye wòe nye Kristo la, gblɔe na mí.” Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Ne megblɔe na mi la, miaxɔ dzinye ase o,
68 And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.
eye ne mebia nya aɖe mi hã, miele eŋu ɖo ge nam o.
69 But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”
Gake ɣeyiɣi gbɔna esi woaɖo Nye Amegbetɔ Vi la fiazikpui dzi le Mawu ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe nuɖusime.”
70 Then they all said, “So you are the Son of God?” And he said. “You are saying that I am.”
Ameawo katã do ɣli sesĩe be, “Ekema ɖe nèle gbɔgblɔm be Mawu Vie yenyea?” Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Miawoe le egblɔm be Nyee.”
71 And they said: “Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth.”
Ameawo gado ɣli sesĩe be, “Ɖe míegahiã ɖasefo bubuwo be woatso ame sia nua? Gbeɖe! Míawo ŋutɔ míesee tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu me!”
