Matthew 26
1 When Jesus had finished teaching all of that, he said to his disciples,
Pu U Yeisu avile amalile ukhunchova amamenyu angha nghoni, pu akhavavula avakongi va mwene,
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.’
“Mulumanyile ukhuta nchisinghile isikhu iveilei vuvule ukhuva pasakha, pu nayumwana va Nyamunu vikhungha lavanchukhilangha ukhuta avungiwe.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met in the house of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Pu pongela avavaha vavatekhenchi navanghongholo va vanu vikhwanghanila pupaninie pavanchenge vwa vutamo vwa tekhenchiumbaha, eilitawa lyamweme vei Kayafa.
4 and plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and put him to death;
Puvakhideihana ukhuta, “Tumwibate u Yeisu nukhubuda.
5 but they said, ‘Not during the Festival, or the people may riot.’
Ulwakhuva vaeideihine ukhuta, “Eilekhe ukhuva pakhinghono eikhivalanche pu yayipelaunchwengho pamiho ngha vanu.”
6 After Jesus had reached Bethany, and while he was in the house of Simon the leper,
Pu u Yeisu vwaleikha Betania munyumba ya Simoni uvei ale me buba,
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.
Pu udala umo akhincha atwalile ekhovo, eikhinyamono inonu finchopwakhahenghelela pa Yeisu akhinama nukhududeiyeila inomo khuntwe upuatamile waleipakhulya.
8 The disciples were indignant at seeing this. ‘What is this waste for?’ they exclaimed.
Pu avakongi vamwa mwene vuvalolile ndavule vakhavipa fincho pu vakhata vweikhi uvuveyanile vwakhyuma ndavule?
9 ‘It could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to poor people.’
Nakhuva imono inchi nchale nchinghunchiwa nukhukava ikhyuma ikhilipakhyanya fincho, nukhuvatanga avanghanchu.”
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.
Pu u Yeisu, akhava avamanyile amasangho nghavo pu akhata, “Kheikh mukhunghatancha udala uyu? Pakhuva khinu kheinonu eikhya ambombile une.
11 You always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
Avanghanchu muleinavo ifinghono fyoni pu leino une samuleinune ifinghono fyoni.
12 In pouring this perfume on my body, she prepares me for my burial.
Ulwakhuva unkhundudeileila une imono inchi pa mbeilei nghwango, ambombile ewo pakhuva ikhunesania pukhusyielaune.
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.’
Ncha yeilweli nikhuvavula ukhuta, puponi upuyakhiva eilivangeili eilei lilumbeileiliwa ghwa mukhilunga khyono, ikhyuavombile udala uyu pukhinchuvivwangwa mumbu nkumbuheincha vwa mwene.”
14 It was then that one of the Twelve, named Judas Iscariot, made his way to the chief priests,
Pu ukongi umo muvala khinchingho na vaveilei, unyalitawa eilei Yuta uvanu Kalyoti, puahakhuluta khuvavaha va vayekhenchi.
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.
Akhata, “Pumukhuma khinu kheikhi une neinganghalavandukhe u Yeisu?” Avene pukhanghelela nukhubineila indalama eimilevula nghidatu.
16 So from that time Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Pu ukhuhumangha apo pwaleikhulonda akhavaleilo akhakhunghalavandukha U Yeisu.
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?’
Pu paleinchuva eilitanchi elya fisyesye ifilivula nsabe, avakongi vakhanduteila u Yeisu nukhuta, “Ndapi upuvwinonghwa tukhutesa neiheinche puve munu vakhulya eipasakha?”
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.”’
Indutanghe, “Khuvanchenge pumukhumbonangha umunu umo pumumbale ukhuta, Umanyisi atilei useikhei nghwango nghuhenghelile pu nilonda ukhuleila eipasakha munyumba yakho une navakongi vango.'”
19 The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and prepared the Passover.
Avakongi puvakhavomba nduvu u Yeisu avalanghiile, puvakhatesania apakhuleila eipasakha.
20 In the evening Jesus took his place with the twelve disciples,
Pu leino khwa vile khwilile, puakhatama navakongi va mwene pakhulya eipasakha.
21 and, while they were eating, he said, ‘I tell you that one of you will betray me.’
Vavile vilya eipasakha akhata, “Ncha yeilweli nikhuvavula ukhuta umo ndyamwe ikhungalandukha.”
22 In great grief they began to say to him, one by one, ‘Can it be I, Master?’
Pu vakhansunsuvala fincho, pu umo umo aleikhuvuncha khwa Yeisu aleikhuta, “Pamo, nene, Nkuludeva?”
23 ‘The one who dipped his bread beside me in the dish,’ replied Jesus, ‘is the one who will betray me.
Pu U Yeisu akhavamula akhata, “Ula uveininchaba paninie numwene mukhi hava vei uywa eikhungalava ndukha.
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!’
U Mwana va Nyamunu pu iluta, tuvu asimbiwe. Pu leino lwa mwene umunu ula uveikhunghalavanchukha u Mwana va Nyamunu! Pu yale yiva huba khumwene umunu uywa ale ave saholiwe.”
25 Judas, who was betraying him, turned to him and said, ‘Can it be I, Rabbi?’ ‘It is,’ answered Jesus.
U Yuda, ula unyakhunghalavandukha akhamula akhata, “Pu!, imanyisi?” Pu U Yeisu akhata, “uve vuwita.”
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.’
Vavile valeipakhulya pu, u Yeisu akhatwala eikhisyesye akhasana, pu akhamenyula. Akhavapa avakongi vamwene akhata, “Mutolanghe, mulinchnge. Unghu nghyu mbeilei nghwango.”
27 Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, with the words, ‘Drink from it, all of you;
Pu akhatola neikhinywelo akhasana pu akhavapa akhata, “Munywenchanghe mweivoni mueikhi.
28 for this is my covenant blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Ulwakhuva unghu unghyu nkisa nghwango unghwa lweideihano, unghududei kha pavingi pavusyiekhilo vwa mbivi.
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.’
Pu leino nikhuvavala ukhuta, pusaneikhanywe khange numwe, pupakha neilava ninywa upya paninie numwe pa ludeva lwa Daada vango.”
30 They then sang a hymn, and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Pu leino vavile vamalile ukhwimba nukhunginia puvakhahuma khunji nu khuluta khukhyamba khya mono.
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.”
Pu u Yeisu akhavavula akhata, “Ekeilo eiyei mweivoni mukalalangha savali yango ulwakhuva yeisimbiwe, punikhutova utekhenchi pu ekhipungha khya ng'osi khye vanikha.
32 But, after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.’
Pu leino yakhiva neinchukhite, puyanikhuvalongola ukhuluta khu Galilaya.”
33 ‘If everyone else falls away from you,’ Peter answered, ‘I will never fall away!’
Pu U Peteli akhamula akhata, “Ndaveipungave vooni yavi vipa savuli yakho une pusanikhavipe niva paninie nuve.”
34 ‘I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!’
U Yeisu akhamula akhata, “Ncha yeilweli nikhukhuvula eikeilo eiyei vueilikongove leikhale ukhuvekha pu vwiva umbelile khadatu.”
35 ‘Even if I must die with you,’ Peter exclaimed, ‘I will never disown you!’ All the disciples spoke in the same way.
U Peteli akhata, “Nu pupanonghile une ukhufwa nuve, sanghakhubele lusikhu.” Pu nava vakongi avange vakhata vulevule.
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.’
Pu u Yeisu akhaluta navo avakongi paluvanja ulwa Getisamani pu akhata khuvakongi vamwene, “Mutame apa pu une neilute ukhu pakhudova.”
37 Taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to show signs of sadness and deep distress of mind.
Pu akhatola u Peteli navana vaveilei ava Sebedayo pu akhatengula ukhu nsunsuvala nukhuyuyuvala.
38 ‘I am sad at heart,’ he said, ‘sad even to death; wait here and watch with me.’
Pu akhavavula akhata, “Einumbala yango yeinsunsuvile fincho, ulunsunsuvalo ulwakhufwa. Pu mve apa hange mve miho paninie nune.”
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.’
Pu akhaluta pakhimbale padebe puakha nghwila, eilitumbu akhanja ikhubeileifyu kha nukhwisaya. Pwaleikhudova aeikhuta, “Daada vango, panghale pavonekhe apakhuluta eikhiywelo eikhi, eingave vunonghwe vwakho pu uvunonghwe vwakho vavombekhanghe.”
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?
Pu akhaluta pavakongi vamwene akhavona vanghonelile, pu akhambula u Peteli akhata, “Pu kheiikhi mulemilwe ukhuva miho paninie nune napaseikhi nghumo vavula?
41 Watch and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak.’
Muvenchanghe miho nukhwisaya ukhuta mulekhe ukhuva ndu nghelo. Inumbula yeidekhe umbeilei unghu nghyudekhedekhe.”
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!’
Puakhaluta khange pakhudova ulwa veilei, akhata, “Daada eingave, eikhinywelo eikhi pasipali pavunge apa akhuluta, pu uvu nonghwe vwakho vukongivwanghwe.”
43 And coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy.
Pu akhavuya khange khuyakongi akhavona vanghonelile itulo pakhuva amiho nghovonghangatile.
44 So he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, again saying the same words.
Pu akhavalekha khange akhaluta khudova ulwadatupu akhadova amamenyu nghunghalanghala.
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.
Pu pongela akhaluta khuvakongi va mwene akhavavula akhata, “Pumungonelele leino mukekhe? Lola, useikhi nghuhenghelile unghu u mwana va Nyamunu pu aleipakhuva mumavokho nghavatula nonghwa.
46 Up, and let us be going. Look! My betrayer is close at hand.’
Ima tuvukhe. Lola, uba uveikhungalavandu kha ahenghelile.”
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.
Pu aveile ipinchova navo, lola uYuta umo mbakongi vala khinchingho navaveilei akhafikha, paninie. Numwene neikhipungha khya vana ikhivaha khihuile khuvavaha vavatekhenchi navanghongholo vavanu, puvakhincha ni mundu ni mbunda.
48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. ‘The man whom I kiss,’ he had said, ‘will be the one; arrest him.’
Pu ula unyakhunghalavandukha u Yeisu akhava avavilile eikhimanyeilo akhata, “Uveiyakhiva nikhunchiba, khudomo vei uywa. mumwibatanghe.”
49 So he went up to Jesus at once, and exclaimed, ‘Welcome, Rabbi!’ and kissed him;
Pu ukhaluta khwa Yeisu pu akhata, “Nikhukhunya, vei Manyisi!” Pu akhanchiba.
50 at which Jesus said to him, ‘Friend, do what you have come for.’ The men went up, seized Jesus, and arrested him.
Pu u Yeisu akhata, “Imanyani, vombangha eilyuvwinchile.
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.
Lola, leino vala avuvale nu Yeisu, umo pwakhangolosya eikhivokho khyamwene, akhaswekhula umundu ya mwene, pu akhatova khumbombi vatekhe nchi umbaha, pu akhamyatula eimbulukhutu ya mbombi.
52 ‘Sheathe your sword,’ Jesus said, ‘for all who draw the sword will be put to the sword.
Pu u Yeisu akhata, kilivula eimundu yakho veikha upuyeikhale, pakhuva voni avilwela nukhubuda neimundu puvibudi wanghwa neimundu.
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?
Pamo musangha mwita neilemwa ukhudova u Daada vupe puasuheile useikhi unghu eikhipungha khya vasuhwa eikhingho navaveilei nukhuluteila pakyanya?
54 But in that case how would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that this must be?’
Pu leino pu uvusimbe vumanyeikhikhangha ndakheikhi uvuvwasimbiwe mukalata pu panonghelanile angha ukhuhumila?”
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.’
Pa seikhi unghwa u Yeisu akhavavula eikhipangha eikhikhya inchile pakhu mwibata akhata, “Pu! mwinchile ni mundu nembunda ukhuta mukhu mwibata unyambunda? ifinghono fyoni muleikhu mutembile neileikhuya manyisya samuleikhunonghwa ukhu puleikha!
56 The whole of this occurred in fulfilment of the prophetic scriptures. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.
Pu leino inchi nchoni nchivombekha ukhuta punchivonekhange nchila unchuvasimbile mukalata avanyamalangho.”Pu avakongi voni vakhande kha vakhankimbeila.
57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the Law and elders had assembled.
Pu vala avamwibite u Yeisu puva khanghileikha khwa Kayafa, utekhechi Umbaha, pakhuva puvalundamine avamanyakalata navavaha vakhivumbukhu.
58 Peter followed him at a distance as far as the high priest’s courtyard, to see the outcome.
Pu u Peteli aleikhukonga musana akhava patale pu akha nchifikha munyumba ya tekhenchi umbaha, akhingeila akhanchitama paninie navaloleli alole khihumeila khiekhi.
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,
Pu leino avavaha navatekhenchi voni paninie neikhipungha khyavanchova nonghwa vanchovangha nincha vudesi eincha khuleyela khwa Yeisu, puvabude.
60 but they did not find any, although many came forward with false evidence. Later on, however, two men came forward and said,
Nda puyeingave vavonekhe avanyakhu nchova inonghwa ncha vudesi, pasava yeivone inonghwa eiyatulile u Yeisu, puvakheihumia avanchova nonghwa vaveilei pavubulongolo Vakhata, “Umunu uyu aatile,
61 ‘This man said “I am able to destroy the Temple of God, and to build it in three days.”’
“Aleina makha nghakhumamula eitembile ya Nguluve nukhunchenga pafinghono fidatu.”
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?’
Pu utekhenchi umbaha akhima akhambuncha akhata, “Savukhwamula limenyu? Ava vinchova nyikhi palyuve?”
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.’
Puu Yeisu akhanchingha mye. Utekhenchi umbaha akhambula akhata, “Nduvu u Nguluve uveikhwale itama niita utuvule, eingave uve veve keileisite, Mwana va Nguluve.”
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 Yeisu akhamula akhata, “Uve veve vwinchova ewo paleino nukhukhuvula niita ukhuhumangha leino vuvonngha umwana Vanyamunu atamile khukhivokho eikhyakhundyo eikhinyamakha vuikhwincha khumaveingo anghakhukyanya.”
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!
Pu utekhenchi umbaha akhalendula eimienda nghyamwene akhata, “Vubeingha sayilondiwa khange ukhulonda avanu avakhu tutanga ukhunchova? Lola, mumalile ukhupuleikha vuibeingha.
66 What is your decision?’ They answered, ‘He deserves death.’
Leino! Pu musangha kheikhi? Vakhamula vakhata, “Anonghile ukhubudiwa.”
67 Then they spat in his face, and struck him, while others dealt blows at him, saying as they did so,
Pu vakhabehela amati khumiho, vakhatova nimbuli, vakhatova na mapi,
68 ‘Now play the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you?’
Nukhuta, “Putenghuleila veeni uvei akhutovile?”
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!’
Useikhi unghwa u Peteli atamile khunji khuluvanja, pu udala umo umbombi akhanduteila akhata, “Uve na yuve ukhale paninie nu Yeisu uvamunu Galilai.”
70 But Peter denied it before them all. ‘I do not know what you mean,’ he replied.
Puakhabela pa vanu voni akhata, saneinchimanyile einchuvwinchova.”
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!’
Avile ihuma pandyango, udala uyunge umbombi akhavavwa avanuavavale epwo pala akhata, “Umunu uyu vope akhale paninie nu Yeisu uva mu Nazaleti.”
72 Again he denied it with an oath, ‘I do not know the man!’
Akhabela hange akhijyiengha akhata, “Une sanimanyile umunu uyu.”
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!’
Pu akhaseikhi khadebe, vala avuvale pwuvale pala vavo vale pipi nave u Peteli, “Vakhata lweli uve uleinine va Yeisu pakhuva nayeinchovele yakho yivonesya.”
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;
Pu akhatengula ukhwijyiengha mukhwikotola aleikhutu, “Saneimanyile umunu unywa,” Pu eilikongove leikhavekha.
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 Peteli akhankumbukha amamenyu unghuavuliwe nu Yeisu, “Eilinkongove vusaleiveikhile yavukhumbela khadatu.”
