< Luke 22 >

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
Azɔ Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui si woyɔna be Ŋutitotoŋkeke la te tu aƒe.
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared 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 entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Azɔ Satana ge ɖe Yuda Iskariɔt, ame si nye nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka la me,
4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto 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 covenanted 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 promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
Tso esia dzi la, Yuda de asi ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ si me woalé Yesu le amehawo ƒe manyamanya me la didi me.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
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 and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
Yesu dɔ Petro kple Yohanes be woado ŋgɔ aɖawɔ dzadzraɖo na yewoƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekea ɖuɖu.
9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
Wobia be, “Afi ka nèdi be míayi aɖadzra ɖo?”
10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
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 ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall 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 shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
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 they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready 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 was come, he sat down, 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 unto them, With desire I have 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 unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be 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 he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [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 unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
Elabena mele egblɔm na mi be nyemagano waintsetse aɖeke me tsi akpɔ o, va se ɖe esime mawufiaɖuƒe la va.”
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance 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 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is 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, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.
Ke yonyememɔfiala ƒe asi le kplɔ̃a dzi kplim.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is 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 enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
Nusrɔ̃lawo tsa ŋku godoo le wo nɔewo dome hebia be ame kae le nu sia tɔgbi wɔ ge.
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
Azɔ ʋiʋli ɖo nusrɔ̃lawo dome le ame si anye gãtɔ la ŋu.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
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 ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
Gake mele be wòanɔ nenema le mia dome o, ame si di be yeanye miaƒe amegã la, newɔ eɖokui subɔlae.
27 For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
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 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
Miawoe nye ame siwo do dzi nɔ anyi kplim le nye tetekpɔwo me,
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
eye nye la mele fiaɖuƒe ɖom anyi na mi abe ale si Fofonye ɖo fiaɖuƒe anyi nam ene.
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on 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 hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as 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 thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
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 unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into 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 tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
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 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
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 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
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 unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning 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 And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, yi eve le mía si le afi sia.” Yesu gblɔ be, “Esɔ gbɔ.”
39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, 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 was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
Ke esi woɖo teƒea la, egblɔ na wo be, “Mido gbe ɖa be tetekpɔ nagaɖu mia dzi o.”
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
Edzo le nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ, zɔ vie ko, eye wòdze klo do gbe ɖa be,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
“Fofo, nenye wò lɔlɔ̃nu la, na kplu sia nato nunye ayi, gake menye nye lɔlɔ̃nu o, ke boŋ tɔwò ko woawɔ.”
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
Kasia mawudɔla aɖe tso dziƒo va do ŋusẽe,
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling 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 rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for 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 said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Alɔ̃ dɔm mielea? Mifɔ kaba! Mido gbe ɖa be miaɖu tetekpɔwo dzi.”
47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus 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 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou 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 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite 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 smote 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 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and 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 unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
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 daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and 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 Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
Ale wolée, eye wokplɔe yi nunɔlagã ƒe aƒe me, eye Petro nɔ eyome ʋĩi gbɔna.
55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
Asrafowo do dzo ɖe xɔxɔnu le ƒuƒum, eye Petro va nɔ wo dome le afi ma.
56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
Dɔlanyɔnuvi aɖe si kpɔ Petro dze sii la gblɔ be, “Ame sia hã nɔ Yesu yome kpɔ.”
57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
Ke Petro gbe gblɔ be, “Nyɔnu, nyemenya amea ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã o!”
58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, 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 about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was with him: for he is a Galilæan.
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 know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
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, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
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 Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
Petro do go heyi ɖafa avi vevie.
63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote [him].
Asrafo siwo le Yesu ŋu dzɔm la dze fewuɖuɖu le eŋu, eye wonɔ eƒom hã.
64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
Wotsyɔ̃ nu mo nɛ, eye wobia tso esi be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi! Ame kae ƒo wò.”
65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, wodzu dzu ƒomevi geɖewo nɛ.
66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
Le ŋufɔke ŋdi kanya la, Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo, dumegãwo kple agbalẽfialawo va ɖi anyi, eye wokplɔ Yesu va woƒe ŋkumee.
67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
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 ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go.
eye ne mebia nya aɖe mi hã, miele eŋu ɖo ge nam o.
69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on 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 said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say 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, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of 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!”
