Matthew 26
1 When Jesus had finished teaching all of that, he said to his disciples,
Imatungo u Yesu naumaile kutambula inkani yehi niyanso, akaaela eamanyisigwa akwe,
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.’
“Mulengile kina baada amahiku abeele kuutula nesikukuu, nung'wana wang'wa Adamu ukupumigwa kuite wasulubiwe.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met in the house of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Baadaye eakulu amakuhani neanyampala neantu aeatankanile palung'wi pakate pamakao ang'wa kuhani numukulu, naewitangwa Kayafa.
4 and plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and put him to death;
Kwa palung'wi ekupanga enjama akumuamba u Yesu kwa unkunku nukumubulaga.
5 but they said, ‘Not during the Festival, or the people may riot.’
Kunsoko aalungile, “Ileke kutula matungo asikukuu, kuite ilekekuleta eghasia pakatekate aantu.”
6 After Jesus had reached Bethany, and while he was in the house of Simon the leper,
Imatungo u Yesu naukole ku Bethania munyumba ang'wa Simoni umukoma,
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.
naukole ukionyesha pameza, musungu ung'wi aewezile kitalakwe aukenkile mukebe nuwa alabasta naekete imakukuta naake ethama nkulu, na aeumahunuie migulya mitwe lakwe.
8 The disciples were indignant at seeing this. ‘What is this waste for?’ they exclaimed.
Lakini eamanyisigwa akwe naaine ikani eleite, aabepewa nukulunga, “Kunsokoke easala eyeite?
9 ‘It could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to poor people.’
Ayaite ahumekile aguligwe kukeasi kekolo nukupegwa eaula.”
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.
Lakini u Yesu kunsoko aaulengile eleite, wekaaela. “Kuneke mukumusumbula umusungu uyuite? Witumile kentu kezakung'wane.
11 You always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
Eaula mukete mahiku ehi, lakini shangamukutula mukole nunene mahiku ehi.
12 In pouring this perfume on my body, she prepares me for my burial.
Kunsoko nauhunue imakuta mitwe lane aya migulya wa mwele wane, aewitumile ite kunsoko ukuekwa kung'wane.
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.’
Kutai kumuela, pehi ulukani ulu nulekatambulwa pakate aunkumbigulu wehi, eketendo nukitumile umusungu uyuite, hange kekutambulwa kunsoko akumbukumbu.”
14 It was then that one of the Twelve, named Judas Iscariot, made his way to the chief priests,
Kuite ung'wiao nua awa nekumi nambele, naewitangwa Yuda Iskariote, akenda kwa akulu amakuhani,
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.
nukulunga “Mukumpa ntuni anganumusaliti?” Akamupimela u Yuda ipande thelathini niyampia.
16 So from that time Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Hange imatungo yayo wekaduma enafasi akumusaliti.
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?’
Hata uluhiku lang'wando nuamekate neshanga eekewe igae, eamanyisigwa akwe aeendile kung'wa Yesu nukulunga, Pe nutakile kukuandaelye ulye indya ya Pasaka?”
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.”’
Wekaaela, Longoli kumujini kumuntu fulani namueli, Ung'walimu ukulunga, “Ematungo ane ahumbeela kumetimelya epasaka palung'wi neamanyisigwa ane, pakate panyumbako.”
19 The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and prepared the Passover.
Emanyisigwa akituma anga u Yesu naualageye, na andae indya ya Pasaka.
20 In the evening Jesus took his place with the twelve disciples,
Naeipikile mpende, aewikie kulya indya palung'wi neamanyigwa kumi nambeele.
21 and, while they were eating, he said, ‘I tell you that one of you will betray me.’
Naakulya indya, wikalunga, “Etai kumuela ung'wi anyu ukunisaliti.”
22 In great grief they began to say to him, one by one, ‘Can it be I, Master?’
Ekapyenenkela kule, kila ung'wiao akandya kumukolya, “Ite shanganene Mukulu?”
23 ‘The one who dipped his bread beside me in the dish,’ replied Jesus, ‘is the one who will betray me.
Akaasukilya, “Uyu nukutala umukono wakwe palung'wi nunene mukate mibakuli yuyo ukunisaliti.
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!’
Ung'wana wang'wa Adamu ukuhega, anga naeyandekilwe. Lakini isateko lakwe umuntu nuekamusaliti ung'wana wang'wa Adamu! Azetula tazu kumuntu nuanso angae waleke kutugwa.”
25 Judas, who was betraying him, turned to him and said, ‘Can it be I, Rabbi?’ ‘It is,’ answered Jesus.
U Yuda, nae uzemusaliti wikalunga, ite nene Labi? U Yesu wekamuila, “Ukutambula ulukani nulanso uewe.”
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.’
Naatuile ukulya indya, u Yesu wikauhola umukate, akaukembeta, nukuega. Wikaapa eamanyisigwa akwe nukulunga, “Holi, mulye. Uwu wuwu mweele waane.”
27 Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, with the words, ‘Drink from it, all of you;
Wekahola ekekombe nukukembeta, akaapa nukulunga, “Wing'wi mehi kuekeite.
28 for this is my covenant blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Kunsoko uyu sakami wane nuilago lane, nekuhunulwa kwa ehi kumusamaha waanyamendu.
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.’
Lakini kumuela, shangakung'wa hange inkali yamezabibu uwaie, hadi uluhiku ulo nenzeng'wa nepya palung'wi nunyenye pakate autemi wang'wa Tata ane.”
30 They then sang a hymn, and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Nakondilye kemba uwembo, ekapuma ekalongola kumulema wa Mizeituni.
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.”
Hange u Yesu wikaaela, “Utiku wuwu mehi mukukumpa kunso ane, kunsoko yandekilwe, kumukua umudemi wikundi lankolo ninyenso ikusambaela.
32 But, after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.’
Lakini baada akuiuka kung'wane, kumutongela kulongola ku Galilaya.”
33 ‘If everyone else falls away from you,’ Peter answered, ‘I will never fall away!’
Lakini u Petelo wikamuila, “Hata anga ehi akuhite kunsoko amakani nakuhanga, nakuupata, unene shanga kuhita.
34 ‘I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!’
U Yesu wikamusukelya, “Etai kuela, utiku wuwu kabla ujogoo wakunkule, ukunihita nkua itaatu.”
35 ‘Even if I must die with you,’ Peter exclaimed, ‘I will never disown you!’ All the disciples spoke in the same way.
U Petelo wikamuela, “hata kina impasile kusha nuewe, singa kuuhita.” Neamanyisigwa neangeza ehi ekalunga uu, uu.
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.’
Baadaye u Yesu wikalongola neenso pang'wenso niitangwa Gethsemane nawikaaela eamanyisigwa akwe, “Ikie hapa ematungo neninzu uko kulompa.”
37 Taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to show signs of sadness and deep distress of mind.
Akamuhola u Petelo neana abeele neang'wa Zebedayo na wikandya kupyenenkela nukusononeka.
38 ‘I am sad at heart,’ he said, ‘sad even to death; wait here and watch with me.’
Hange wikaaela, “Enkolone ekete kenyauwai kekulu kule ata ekeasi kakusha. Sagi hapa mukeshe palung'wi nunene.”
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.’
Wekalongola kuntongela inino, wikagwa kifudifudi, nukulompa. Wikalunga, “Tata ane, peza iwezekanile, ekekombe ekeite kenkwepe. Iteke kutula anga nentakile unene, hange kina nutakile uewe.”
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?
Akaahanga eamanyisigwa wekaahanga alala tulo, kunso emiho aemalito.
41 Watch and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak.’
Keshi nukulompa kunso mulekekingila mumagemo. Inkolo akole radhi, lakini umweele udhaifu.
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!’
Akalongola yakwe nkua akabeele nukulompa, akalunga, “Tata ane kina ulukani ulu shangaiwezekanile kulekwepa lazima nukeng'we ekekombe ekeite, emapenzi ako atimele.”
43 And coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy.
Wekasuka hange wikahanga alala tulo, kunsoko emiho ao ae malito.
44 So he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, again saying the same words.
Kuite wikaaleka hange wekalongola yakwe. Akalompa enkua akatuatu inkani zizo zizo.
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.
Baadaye u Yesu wekaahanga eamanyisigwa akwe nukuaela, “Kele mukie ne nukusupya? Gozi ematungo ahumbeela, nung'wana wang'wa Adamu ukusalitiwa mumekono aanyamelandu.
46 Up, and let us be going. Look! My betrayer is close at hand.’
Uki kuhege. Gozi uyuite nung'wenso nukunsaliti wahugela.”
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.
Ematungo naukele ukuligitya, u Yuda ung'wi wa awa nenkumi na mbeele, akapika. Lulili lukulu lukapika palung'wi nung'wenso anga lepumele kwa akulu amakuhani neanyampala neantu. Ae azile nimpanga niidunkuli.
48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. ‘The man whom I kiss,’ he had said, ‘will be the one; arrest him.’
Hange umuntu naeudee kumusaliti u Yesu auapee eshala, akalunga, “Uyu nenekamulungela, ng'wenso muambi.”
49 So he went up to Jesus at once, and exclaimed, ‘Welcome, Rabbi!’ and kissed him;
Imatungo yayo wekiza kung'wa Yesu nukulunga, “Na wikamulungela.
50 at which Jesus said to him, ‘Friend, do what you have come for.’ The men went up, seized Jesus, and arrested him.
U Yesu wikamuila, “Muhumba meane itume ele nelekutile uu akeza, nukumugoolela emekono u Yesu, nukumuamba.
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.
Goza, muntu ung'wi naukole palung'wi nu Yesu, wikagoola umukono wakwe, wikahopola upanga wakwe, na wikamukua umitumi wang'wa kuhani numukulu, nukumuamba ukutwe wakwe.
52 ‘Sheathe your sword,’ Jesus said, ‘for all who draw the sword will be put to the sword.
Uu Yesu wikamuila, susha upanga wako pana aza uhoe, kunsoko ehi neetumila upanga akuangamizigwa kwa upanga.
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?
Ite mulungile shanganihumilene kumitanga u Tata ane, nung'wenso ukuntumela emajeshi zaidi akumi na mbeele na amalaeka?
54 But in that case how would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that this must be?’
Lakini ite emaandiko awazekanile kutimeligwa, kuite uu ipasilwe kupumila?
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.’
Imatungo yayo u Yesu wikauela umilundo, “Ite mezile nemapanga neidunkuli kumamba kina uyu nuehegelanya? Kila imahiku aenikie mihekalu nukumumanyisa nashangaemumambile!
56 The whole of this occurred in fulfilment of the prophetic scriptures. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.
Lakini ayaite ehe itumilwe ite emaandiko anyakedagu atimile. “Uu emanyisigwa akwe ekamuleka nukumanka.
57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the Law and elders had assembled.
Awa naamuambile u Yesu akamutala kung'wa Kayafa, u Kuhani nu mukulu pang'wanso eaandeki neanyampala aeilingie palung'wi.
58 Peter followed him at a distance as far as the high priest’s courtyard, to see the outcome.
Kuite u Petelo aiumutyatile kunyuma kukuli kupikila mu itando nilang'wa Kuhani u Mukulu. Ai wingie mukate nukikie palung'wi nienso wihenga mukikapumila.
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,
Kuite eakulu amakuhani nebalaza lehi aeakuduma ushahidi wauteele dhidi ang'wa Yesu kunsoko ahume kumubulaga.
60 but they did not find any, although many came forward with false evidence. Later on, however, two men came forward and said,
Kuite apumie amashaidi eedu, lakini shanga ekalija anga lukani lehi. Lakini baadaye eamashahidi abeele ekapumila pantongela.
61 ‘This man said “I am able to destroy the Temple of God, and to build it in three days.”’
nu kulunga, “Umuntu uyu aulungile, “Mbezile kuunanga ihekalu lang'wi Tunda nukulezenga kwa mahiku atatu.”
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?’
Ukuhani numukulu akimeka wikamukolya, “Shanga uhumilene kusukilya?
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.’
Lakini u Yesu aewikie ukilagilye ihetwe. Ukuhani numukulu wikamuela, “Anga Itunda nuikie kuamulu ukuele, kang'wi uwe wi Kilisto ng'wana wa Itunda.
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.’
U Yesu wikamusukilya, “Uwe utambue ulukani nulanso. Lakini kuela kupuma itungele nukendelea ukumuona ung'wana wang'wa Adamu wikie umukono wakulela nuukete ingulu na wikeza na malunde kigulu.”
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!
Uu gwa u Kuhani nu Mukulu wekatamulanga eng'wenda akwe nukulunga, “Wakufulu! Ite, kutakile hange ushahidi wantuni? Goza, uu wimeka ukukufulu.
66 What is your decision?’ They answered, ‘He deserves death.’
Ite mukusega ntuni? Ekamusukilya nukulunga, “Ugombigwe washe.”
67 Then they spat in his face, and struck him, while others dealt blows at him, saying as they did so,
Hange ekamutye emate muusu nukumukua enkunde, nukumukua emakopi kumekono ao,
68 ‘Now play the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you?’
nukulunga, “Wewe uewe Kilisto. Nyenyu nukukuile?
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!’
Ematungo nanso u Petelo aewikie kunzi pakate aukumbi numitumi nuakesungu wikamuhenga nukulunga, Newe ga aeukole palung'wi nu Yesu wa Galilaya.”
70 But Peter denied it before them all. ‘I do not know what you mean,’ he replied.
Lakini wekahita ntongeele ao ehi, wikalunga, singa nengile ekeite nemukutambula.”
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!’
Nae ulongoe kunzi amulango, umitumi mungiza nuakesungu wakamuona nukumuela naakole pang'wanso, “Umuntu uyu aliakoli nu Yesu wa Nazareti.”
72 Again he denied it with an oath, ‘I do not know the man!’
Wikahita hange kwakulapa, “Unene shanga numumanyile umuntu uyuite.”
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!’
Ematungo makupe baadaye, awa naeimekile pakupe, ekameendela u Petelo nukulunga, “Kutai nuewe ga wiang'weao, kunsoko ata lafudhi ako ekuonyesha.”
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;
Uu wikanza kuapa emasateko, “Unene shanga numumanyile umuntu uyuite” kuite ujogoo wekakunkula.
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.
U Petelo wekakumbuka inkani nauewe nu Yesu, “Kabla ujogoo wekakunkula wakunihita nkua itatu.”
