Matthew 26
1 When Jesus had finished teaching all of that, he said to his disciples,
Jisuh ni hete lawknaw koung a dei hnukkhu, a hnukkâbangnaw koevah,
2 ‘You know that in two days time the Festival of the Passover will be here; and that the Son of Man is to be given up to be crucified.’
Hnin hni touh a loum hnukkhu teh, ceitakhai pawi hnin ao han toe titeh na panue awh. Hattoteh tami Capa hah thingpalamnae dawk thei sak hanlah, poe e lah kaawm han atipouh.
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met in the house of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Hatnavah, vaihma bawinaw, cakathutkungnaw hoi kho thung e kacuenaw teh vaihma kacue Kaiaphas e toeim vah a kamkhueng awh teh,
4 and plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and put him to death;
Jisuh hah huenghai hoi bangtelah ne man thai vaiteh thei thai awh han tie hah a kâpankhai awh.
5 but they said, ‘Not during the Festival, or the people may riot.’
Hatei, pawi na hnin vah man awh hanh ei sei. Tami pueng ruengrueng tet a langvaih ati awh.
6 After Jesus had reached Bethany, and while he was in the house of Simon the leper,
Bethani khovah ka hrikbei e Simon im Jisuh ao navah,
7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and poured the perfume on his head as he sat at the table.
napui buet touh ni hmuitui aphu kaawm poung e talungpangaw bom a sin teh bu a ca lahun nah a lû dawk a awi pouh.
8 The disciples were indignant at seeing this. ‘What is this waste for?’ they exclaimed.
A hnukkâbangnaw ni a hmu awh navah, bangkongmaw a kaseikasak ati awh teh a lungkhuek awh.
9 ‘It could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to poor people.’
Hote hmuitui hah aphu moikapap lah yo vaiteh karoedengnaw poe hanelah ao ati awh.
10 ‘Why are you troubling the woman?’ Jesus said, when he noticed it. ‘For this is a beautiful deed that she has done to me.
Jisuh ni a panue toteh hote napui hah bangkongmaw na tarawk awh. Ahni ni kai koe hnokahawi a sak toe.
11 You always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
Karoedengnaw teh nangmouh koe doeh pou ao awh. Kai teh nangmouh koe pou kaawm mahoeh.
12 In pouring this perfume on my body, she prepares me for my burial.
Hete hmuitui hah ka tak dawk a awi e teh, ka ro pakawp nahanlah a rakuengnae doeh toe.
13 I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, this good news is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her.’
Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Talaivan kamthang kahawi deinae hmuen pueng koevah, hete napui pou pouk nahanelah, a hnosak e heh dei lah kaawm van han atipouh.
14 It was then that one of the Twelve, named Judas Iscariot, made his way to the chief priests,
Hatnavah a hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh thung dawk e Judah Isakarot ni vaihma bawinaw koe a cei teh,
15 and said ‘What are you willing to give me, if I betray Jesus to you?’ The Priests counted him out thirty pieces of silver as payment.
Jisuh hah nangmae kut dawk na poe thai pawiteh, nangmouh ni kai hah tangka nâyittouh maw na poe awh han atipouh. Ahnimouh ni ngun tangka 30 touh na poe han atipouh awh.
16 So from that time Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Hahoi teh, Bawipa hah pahnawt thai nahanelah, Judah ni atueng kanhlongnae hah sut a ring.
17 On the first day of the Festival of the unleavened bread, the disciples came up to Jesus, and said, ‘Where do you wish us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?’
A hnukkâbangnaw ni tonphuenhoehe pawi apasuek hnin vah, ceitakhai pawi ca nahane hmuen hah nâ e koe maw rakueng sak hanlah na ngai atipouh awh.
18 ‘Go into the city to a certain man,’ he answered, ‘and say to him “The teacher says – My time is near. I will keep the Passover with my disciples at your house.”’
Bawipa ni, khothung tami buet touh e im vah cet awh nateh, Bawipa ni lawk na thui e teh, a tue a hnai toe, a hnukkâbangnaw hoi cungtalah ceitakhai pawi heh nangmouh im vah ka hno awh han ati tet pouh awh, atipouh.
19 The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and prepared the Passover.
A hnukkâbangnaw ni a dei pouh e patetlah a sak awh teh, ceitakhai pawi hah atangcoungcalah a rakueng pouh awh.
20 In the evening Jesus took his place with the twelve disciples,
Tangmin lavah, a hnukkâbangnaw hlaikahni touh hoi bu cungtalah a ven awh.
21 and, while they were eating, he said, ‘I tell you that one of you will betray me.’
A ca awh lahun navah Bawipa ni, atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Nangmouh thung dawk buet touh ni kai hah na pahnawt awh han atipouh.
22 In great grief they began to say to him, one by one, ‘Can it be I, Master?’
Hat torei teh, a hnukkâbangnaw a lung puenghoi a mathoe awh teh, Bawipa kai maw telah lengkaleng a pacei awh.
23 ‘The one who dipped his bread beside me in the dish,’ replied Jesus, ‘is the one who will betray me.
Bawipa ni kawlung dawk kai hoi rei ka tapu e ni kai na pahnawt han.
24 True, the Son of Man must go, as scripture says of him, yet alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is being betrayed! For that man it would be better never to have been born!’
Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah tami Capa teh ka cet han. Hatei, tami Capa ka pahnawt e teh a yawthoe. Ahni teh khe hoeh ngala pawiteh bet ahawihnawn atipouh.
25 Judas, who was betraying him, turned to him and said, ‘Can it be I, Rabbi?’ ‘It is,’ answered Jesus.
Bawipa ka pahnawt e Judah Isakarot ni hai Rabbi kai maw telah a pacei navah, na dei e patetlah oe nang doeh atipouh.
26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it and, as he gave it to his disciples, said, ‘Take it and eat it; this is my body.’
A ca awh lahun navah, Jisuh ni vaiyei a la teh, lunghawi lawk a dei hnukkhu, a raen teh, hete vaiyei teh ka tak doeh. Lat awh nateh cat awh, telah a hnukkâbangnaw koe atipouh.
27 Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, with the words, ‘Drink from it, all of you;
Manang hai a la teh lunghawi lawk a dei hnukkhu ahnimanaw hah a poe teh, nangmouh pueng ni net awh.
28 for this is my covenant blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Hete manang teh lawkkam katha doeh. Taminaw hlout nahanlah ka rabawk e ka thi doeh.
29 I tell you that I will never, after this, drink of this juice of the grape, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.’
Na dei pouh awh. Hete misurtui patet e a katha e misurtui nangmouh hoi cungtalah a Pa e uknaeram dawk bout ka nei hoehroukrak, atu hoi bout ka net mahoeh toe.
30 They then sang a hymn, and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Hahoi teh la a sak awh teh Olive Mon lah a luen awh.
31 Then Jesus said to them, ‘Even you will all fall away from me tonight. Scripture says – “I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.”
Hat toteh, Cakathoung dawk a thut e teh, tukhoumkung hah hem awh vaiteh, a tunaw ni paringparang lah ao awh han ati e patetlah, sahnin tangmin lah nangmouh pueng ni kai kecu dawk na lung a pout awh han.
32 But, after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.’
Hatei, bout ka thaw hnukkhu nangmouh hmalah, Galilee ram lah ka cei han, telah Jisuh ni atipouh.
33 ‘If everyone else falls away from you,’ Peter answered, ‘I will never fall away!’
Hetnaw ni nang kecu dawk a lung ka pout awh nakunghai kai teh ka lung khoeroe pout mahoeh, telah Piter ni a ti.
34 ‘I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!’
Jisuh ni, atangcalah na dei pouh. Sahnin tangmin ahlui a khawng hoehnahlan kai hah vai thum touh na pahnawt han atipouh.
35 ‘Even if I must die with you,’ Peter exclaimed, ‘I will never disown you!’ All the disciples spoke in the same way.
Piter ni, nang hoi rei due han nakunghai kai ni na pahnawt mahoeh bout atipouh. Alouke a hnukkâbangnaw ni hai hot patetvanlah a dei awh.
36 Then Jesus came with them to a garden called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit down here while I go and pray over there.’
Hatnavah Jisuh ni Gethsemani hmuen koe ahnimouh hoi rei a pha toteh, kai teh hote hmuen koe ratoum hanlah ka cei han, hete hmuen koe la tahung awh lah a, telah a hnukkâbangnaw koe atipouh.
37 Taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to show signs of sadness and deep distress of mind.
Piter hoi Zebedee e a capa roi a hrawi. Hatnavah Bawipa teh a lungmathoe, lungpuen hoi ao dawkvah,
38 ‘I am sad at heart,’ he said, ‘sad even to death; wait here and watch with me.’
Jisuh ni due han totouh ka lungreithai. Hie a hmuen koe awm awh nateh kai hoi cungtalah ring awh, telah a hnukkâbangnaw kathum touh koe a dei pouh.
39 Going on a little further, he threw himself on his face in prayer. ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if it is possible, let me be spared this cup; only, not as I will, but as you will.’
Hathnukkhu hmalah hrawt bout a cei teh, a tabo laihoi oe a Pa coung thai pawiteh hete manang na takhoe pouh haw. Hatei, kaie ka ngainae patetlah tho laipalah, na ngainae patetlah tho lawiseh telah a ratoum.
40 Then he came to his disciples, and found them asleep. ‘What!’ he said to Peter, ‘could none of you watch with me for one hour?
A hnukkâbangnaw aonae koe a pha navah, ahnimouh ni di a i takhai e a hmu navah, nangmouh ni suimilam buet touh kangna hai kai hah na ring thai awh hoeh maw.
41 Watch and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak.’
Tacueknae koehoi na hlout thai awh nahan ratoum laihoi ring awh. Muitha ni teh a ngai poung ei, takthai ni teh coung thai hoeh telah Piter koe atipouh.
42 Again, a second time, he went away, and prayed. ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if I cannot be spared this cup, but must drink it, your will be done!’
Hahoi bout a cei teh Oe a Pa hete manang hah ka net laipalah roun thai hoehpawiteh, na ngainae patetlah phat lawiseh telah bout a ratoum.
43 And coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy.
Hat hnukkhu a hnukkâbangnaw onae koe bout a tho teh, ahnimanaw teh muet bout a i awh e a hmu navah,
44 So he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, again saying the same words.
a ceitakhai teh ahmaloe a ratoum e patetlah apâthum lah bout a ratoum.
45 Then he came to the disciples, and said, ‘Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Look – my time is close at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked people.
A hnukkâbangnaw onae koe bout a tho teh, atuteh duem ip awh lawih. Tami Capa teh tamikayonnaw e kut dawk pahnawt nahane tueng teh a pha toe.
46 Up, and let us be going. Look! My betrayer is close at hand.’
Thaw awh, cet a lei sei. Kai na kapahnawtkung teh a tho toe atipouh.
47 And, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came in sight; and with him was a great crowd of people, with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Hottelah a dei lahun navah a hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh dawk ka bawk van e Judah Isakarot teh a tho. Vaihma bawinaw hoi khothung e tami kacuenaw ni a patoun awh e naw teh tahloi hoi bongpainaw a sin awh teh a tho awh.
48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. ‘The man whom I kiss,’ he had said, ‘will be the one; arrest him.’
Bawipa kapahnawtkung niyah, kai ni ka paco e teh Jisuh doeh, ahni hah man awh telah hote taminaw koe noutnae a poe e patetlah,
49 So he went up to Jesus at once, and exclaimed, ‘Welcome, Rabbi!’ and kissed him;
Bawipa koe rek a hnai teh, kacangkhaikung yawhawinae awmseh ati teh a paco.
50 at which Jesus said to him, ‘Friend, do what you have come for.’ The men went up, seized Jesus, and arrested him.
Jisuh ni ka hui bang panki e dawk maw na tho atipouh navah, hote taminaw a tho awh teh Jisuh hah a man awh.
51 Suddenly one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and striking the high priest’s servant, cut off his ear.
Hatnavah Jisuh hnukkâbang e buet touh ni a kut a dâw teh tahloi a rasa hnukkhu, vaihma kacue e a san buet touh hah a bouk navah a hnâ thouk a pet.
52 ‘Sheathe your sword,’ Jesus said, ‘for all who draw the sword will be put to the sword.
Jisuh ni na tahloi hah amae tabu dawk bout tat leih. Tahloi ka patuem e tami pueng teh tahloi hoi a due awh han.
53 Do you think that I cannot ask my Father for help, when he would at once send to my aid more than twelve legions of angels?
Atu roeroe vah a Pa koe kahei thai tie hai thoseh, kâhet pawiteh kalvan ransahuipui aphu hlaikahni touh hlak kapap lah Kai koe a patoun han tie hah nang ni na pouk hoeh maw.
54 But in that case how would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that this must be?’
Hat pawiteh, Cakathoung dawk a thut e patetlah, hettelah o han tie hnonaw hah bangtelavai a kuep thai telah a ti.
55 Jesus at the same time said to the crowds, ‘Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? I have sat teaching day after day in the Temple Courts, and yet you did not arrest me.’
Hatnavah Jisuh ni Dingca man e patetlah kai man hanlah rama, bongpainaw na sin awh teh na tho a bo vaw. Kai ni Bawkim thung hnin ka due na cangkhai eiteh, nangmae rahak ka tahung navah nangmouh ni kai hah na man awh hoeh.
56 The whole of this occurred in fulfilment of the prophetic scriptures. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.
Hot hateh, Cakathoung akuep nahane doeh telah tami kamkhuengnaw hah a dei pouh. Hattoteh a hnukkâbangnaw pueng ni Bawipa hah parang a yawng takhai awh.
57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the Law and elders had assembled.
Jisuh ka man e naw ni Bawipa hah, cakathutkungnaw hoi kacuenaw a kamkhuengnae vaihma kacue Kaiaphas koe a ceikhai awh.
58 Peter followed him at a distance as far as the high priest’s courtyard, to see the outcome.
Piter hai vaihma kacue e toeim totouh, Bawipa hoi kahlat lah a kâbang. A hnukteng bangtelamaw ati awh tie a panue nahanlah athung a kâen teh ka ring e naw hoi reirei a tahung.
59 Meanwhile the chief priests and the whole of the High Council were trying to get such false evidence against Jesus, as would warrant putting him to death,
Vaihma bawinaw hoi kacuenaw, sanhedrin lawkcengkungnaw pueng ni Jisuh thei thai nahanlah laithoe kampangkhainae a tawng awh ei hmawt awh hoeh.
60 but they did not find any, although many came forward with false evidence. Later on, however, two men came forward and said,
Laithoe kampangkhai hanelah moi a tho awh ei, Bangpatete kapanuekkhaikung hai tawn awh hoeh. A hnukteng vah laithoe kampangkhaikung kahni touh a tho roi teh,
61 ‘This man said “I am able to destroy the Temple of God, and to build it in three days.”’
ahni ni, kai ni Cathut e Bawkim hah ka raphoe vaiteh hnin thum touh hoi bout ka cum thai han telah a dei titeh kapanuekkhaikung lah a kangdue roi.
62 Then the high priest stood up, and said to Jesus, ‘Have you no answer? What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?’
Vaihma kacue ni a kangdue teh, kam touh boehai bout na dei mahoeh maw. Hetnaw ni bangtelamaw kapanuekkhaikung lah a kangdue awh, atipouh navah Jisuh teh lawkkamuem lah ao.
63 But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, ‘I order you, by the living God, to tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.’
Vaihma kacue ni nang teh Cathut e Capa, Khrih hoi Khrih hoeh e hah kaimouh koe na dei nahanlah kahring Cathut noe lahoi kâ na poe atipouh.
64 ‘It is true,’ Jesus answered, ‘Moreover I tell you all that hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty, and coming on the clouds of the heavens.’
Hatnavah, Jisuh ni na dei e patetlah atueng. Hothloilah ka dei e teh, hmalae atueng dawk tami Capa ni bawilennae aranglah a tahung teh kalvan e tâmainaw dawk tahung lahoi a tho e hah na hmu awh han atipouh.
65 Then the high priest tore his robes. ‘This is blasphemy!’ he exclaimed. ‘Why do we want any more witnesses? You have just heard his blasphemy!
Hatnavah vaihma kacue ni amae angki a phi teh hete tami ni Cathut ka tapuet lah a dei toe. Bangpatet e kapanuekkhaikung maw bout a ngai rah. Cathut ka tapuet lah a dei e hah atu roeroe vah nangmouh ni na thai awh toe.
66 What is your decision?’ They answered, ‘He deserves death.’
Bangtelamaw na pouk awh, atipouh navah, hotnaw ni ahni teh due han a kamcu telah bout a dei awh.
67 Then they spat in his face, and struck him, while others dealt blows at him, saying as they did so,
Hattoteh a minhmai hah tamtui hoi a tamthawi awh.
68 ‘Now play the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you?’
Kut hoi a thaw awh, tangawn ni a tambei awh, oe Khrih nang hah apinimaw na tambei tie hah profet lahoi dei leih, atipouh awh.
69 Peter, meanwhile, was sitting outside in the courtyard; and a maidservant came up to him, and exclaimed, ‘Why, you were with Jesus the Galilean!’
Piter ni toeim alawilah longkha koe a tahung navah sannu buet touh ni a tho teh nang haiyah Galilee tami Jisuh hoi cungtalah e doeh atipouh navah,
70 But Peter denied it before them all. ‘I do not know what you mean,’ he replied.
Piter ni na dei e hah ka panuek hoeh telah taminaw e hmalah a oun.
71 When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him, and said to those who were there, ‘This man was with Jesus of Nazareth!’
Hathnukkhu Piter ni im longkha alawilah a tâco navah alouke napui buet touh ni bout a hmu teh haw kaawm e naw koe, het haiyah Nazareth tami Jisuh hoi cungtalah e doeh atipouh.
72 Again he denied it with an oath, ‘I do not know the man!’
Piter ni ahni hah ka panuek hoeh telah thoe a ka bo teh bout a oun.
73 But soon afterwards those who were standing by came up and said to Peter, ‘You also are certainly one of them; why, even your way of speaking proves it!’
Hathnukkhu moung ao teh hote hmuen koe kangdoutnaw ni Piter e a teng a tho awh teh, atangcalah nang haiyah hotnaw koe na ka bawk e doeh. Na lawk ni ma a pâpho toe telah atipouh awh.
74 Then Peter said, ‘I swear that I do not know the man! May God punish me if I am lying!’ At that moment a cock crowed;
Piter ni ahni hah ka panuek hoeh ati teh thoe a kâbo. Hat nah tahma vah ahlui a khawng.
75 and Peter remembered the words which Jesus had said – “Before a cock has crowed, you will disown me three times”; and he went outside, and wept bitterly.
Jisuh ni Ahlui a khawng hoehnahlan, vai thum touh kai hah na pahnawt han ati e lawk hah Piter ni hlawt a pouk navah alawilah a tâco teh khawngsauek laihoi a ka.
