< Matthew 27 >

1 At daybreak all the chief priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus, to bring about his death.
Omwanya gwa katondo gwejile gwakinga, abhakulu bhone bha bhagabhisi na abhakaluka bha bhanu nibhalwajila ebhya Yesu bhabhone okumwita.
2 They put him in chains and led him away, and gave him up to the Roman Governor, Pilate.
Nibhamubhoya, nibhamutangasha, na ni bhamukingya kwa liwali Pilato.
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that Jesus was condemned, repented of what he had done, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
Mbe omwanya Yuda unu aliga amulomee iniku, ajile alola ati Yesu amalile kulamulwa, nanega no kusubhya ebhibhutu makumi gasatu ebhya jiela ku mukulu wa abhagabhisi na abhakaluka,
4 ‘I did wrong in betraying a good man to his death,’ he said. ‘What has that to do with us?’ they replied. ‘You must see to that yourself.’
na naika ati, “Nakola echibhibhi kwo kulomela iniku amanyiga ganu gatali na chikayo.” Nawe nibhamusubhya ati, ejichigasa chinuki eswe? Nugalole ago awe omwene.”
5 Judas flung down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and left; and went away and hanged himself.
Mbe niwo nabhyesa ansi bhiliya ebhibhutu bhya jiela muyekalu nagenda jae no kwinyiga omwene.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver, but they said, ‘We must not put them into the Temple treasury, because they are blood-money.’
Omukulu wa bhagabhisi abhigegele bhilia ebhibhutu bhya jiyela naikati,” jiteile okutula jiyela jinu bhwikilo, kulwokubha nibhugusi bhwa manyinga!
7 So, after consultation, they used it to buy the “Potter’s Field” as a burial ground for foreigners,
Nibhalwajila amwi na jiyela nijikola okugulila lisambu lyo mumogi elyokusikamo abhagenyi.
8 and that is why that field is called the “Field of Blood” to this very day.
ijuno inu nikwo elibha nilitogwa, “lisambu lyamanyinga” okukinga lelo linu.
9 Then it was that these words spoken by the prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled – “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,
Mbenio ligambo Lilia lyaliga lyaikilwe no mulagi Yelemia lyakumie, okwaikati, “Bhagegele ebhibhutu makumi gasatu ebhya jiyela, obhugusi bhunu bhwalomelwe na bhanu Bhaisiraeli kumwene,
10 and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
Nibhakolela kwisambu lyo mumogi, lwa kutyo Latabhugenyi aliga andagilie.”
11 Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ asked the Governor. ‘It is true,’ answered Jesus.
Oli Yesu emeleguyu imbele ya liwali, na liwali namubhusha ati, angu awe nawe Omukama wa bhayaudi? “Yesu amusubhishe ati,”nawe owaika kutyo,”
12 While charges were being brought against him by the chief priests and elders, Jesus made no reply.
Nawe omwanya ogwo asitakibhwe na bhakulu bha bhagabhisi na bhakulu, atasubhishe chona chona.
13 Then Pilate said to him, ‘Don’t you hear how many accusations they are making against you?’
Mbe nio Pilato namubhila ati uchalikungwa amasitako gone kwawe?”
14 Yet Jesus made no reply – not even a single word; at which the Governor was greatly astonished.
Nawe atamusubhishe nolwo musango gumwi, ndijei Liwali nejulwa nechilugulo.
15 Now, at the feast, the Governor was accustomed to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might choose.
Nawe musiku ja musikuku yaliga ili tungwa ya Liwali okusulumula umwi unu kasolwa na liijo.
16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
Omwanya ogwo bhaliga no mubhoywa mukumuke lisina lyae Balaba.
17 So, when the people had collected, Pilate said to them, ‘Which do you wish me to release for you? Barabbas? Or Jesus who is called “Christ”?’
Kutyo omwanya ogwo bhaliga bhwekofyanyishe amwi, Pilato abhasubhishe ati, “Niuya omwenda chibhasulumulile kulwemwe?” Baraba angu Yesu unu katogwa Kristo?”
18 For he knew that it was out of jealousy that they had given Jesus up to him.
Okubha amenyele ati bhamalile okumugwatila lwiso.
19 While he was still on the Bench, his wife sent this message to him – ‘Do not have anything to do with that good man, for I have been very much troubled today in a dream because of him.’
Omwanya aliga achenyanjile kuchitebhe chae echo kulamulila, omugasi wae amutumie musango naikati wasiga kukola musango gwone gwone ku munu oyo atali na chikayo okubha nanyasibhwa muno nolwo lelo muchiloto kubhwae.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to kill Jesus.
Mbe nio abhakulu bha bhagabhisi na bhakaluka nibhabhakongya kongya liijo bhamusabhwe Baraba, na Yesu afwe.
21 The Governor, however, said to them, ‘Which of these two do you wish me to release for you?’ ‘Barabbas,’ they answered.
Liwali abhabhusishe ati,” Ni uya omwenda nibhasulumulile kwimwe bhaikile ati,”Baraba.”
22 ‘What then,’ Pilate asked, ‘should I do with Jesus who is called “Christ?”’ ‘Crucify him,’ they all replied.
Pilato nabhabhwila ati kambe nimukolele chinuki Yesu unu katogwa Kristo? Bhone nibhasubya ati,” abhambwe”
23 ‘Why, what harm has he done?’ he asked. But they kept shouting furiously, ‘Crucify him!’
Omwene naika ati, “kubhaki nichikayoki akolele? “Nawe nibeyongesha kusekana obhulaka bhwa ingulu muno, “Abhambwe.”
24 When Pilate saw that his efforts were unavailing, but that, on the contrary, a riot was beginning, he took some water, and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying as he did so, ‘I am not answerable for this bloodshed; you must see to it yourselves.’
Kutyo omwanya Pilato ejile alola ati, atakutila okukola lyone lyone, nawe obhusambe bwaliga bwambile, agegele amanji nesabha amabhoko gae imbele ya liijo, naika ati, “Anye nitana chikayo ingulu ya manyinga go munu unu atali na chikayo. Mugalole emwe abhwene.”
25 And all the people answered, ‘His blood be on our heads and on our children’s!’
Abhanu bhone nibhaikana ati, “Amanyinga Gaye gabhe ingilu yeswe na bhana bhweswe.”
26 Then Pilate released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he had scourged, and gave him up to be crucified.
Nio nabhasulumulila Baraba kwebhwe, nawe amubhumile emijaledi Yesu namukabhiji kwebhwe okuja okumubhamba.
27 After that, the Governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Government house, and gathered the whole garrison round him.
Mbe nio abhasilikale abhaliwali nibhamugega Yesu mpaka Praitorio na eiijo lyafu lya bhasilikale bhone nibhamwikofyanyishako.
28 They stripped him, and put on him a red military cloak,
Nibhamufula emyenda jae nibhamufwafya ikanju ya ilangi imutuku.
29 and having twisted some thorns into a crown, put it on his head, and a rod in his right hand, and then, going down on their knees before him, they mocked him. ‘Long life to you, king of the Jews!’ they said.
Mbe nibhaluka olutenga lwamawa no kuitulila ingulu yo mutwe gwae, na nibhamutulilao lisekeyanda mukubhoko kwae okwebhulyo. Nibhafukama imbele yae nibhamujimya, nibhaika ati, “kasige omukama wa bhayaudi?”
30 They spat at him and, taking the rod, kept striking him on the head;
Na nibhamufubhulila amachwata, na nibhagega lisekeyanda na nibhamubhumila mumutwe.
31 and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the military cloak, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to be crucified.
Omwanya gunu bhaliga nibhamujimya, bhamufulile ikanju iliya nibhamufwafya emyenda jae nibhamutagasha okugenda okumubhamba.
32 As they were on their way out, they came upon a man from Cyrene called Simon, and they compelled him to go with them to carry the cross.
Anu bhaliga bhachauluka anja. Nibhamulola omunu okusoka Krene lisina lyae Simoni, oyo nibhamunyasha okugenda nabho koleleki abhone okugega omusalabha gwae.
33 On reaching a place named Golgotha (a place named from its likeness to a skull),
Bhwejile bhakinga anu atogwaga goligota, isonga yacho, olubhala lwo lwanga lwo mutwe.”
34 they gave him some wine to drink which had been mixed with gall; but after tasting it, Jesus refused to drink it.
Nibhamuyana isiki isasibhwemo na idulu anywe.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among them by casting lots.
Omwanya nibhamala okumubhamba, bagabhene emyenda jae kwo kubhuma ikula.
36 Then they sat down, and kept watch over him there.
Na nibhwenyaja nibhamulolela.
37 Above his head they fixed the accusation against him written out – “THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Ingulu yo mutwe gwae bhateyeo intambala yae inu yaliga yandikilwe ati unu ni Yesu omukama wa Bhayaudi.”
38 At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.
Abhasakusi bhabhili bhabhambilwe amwi nage, oumwi olubhala lwebhulyo lyae no undi kubhwebhumosi.
39 The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads as they said,
Abhanu bhaliga nibhaiting'ana nibhamufuma nibhasingishaha emitwe jebhwe.
40 ‘You who would “destroy the Temple and build one in three days,” save yourself! If you are God’s Son, come down from the cross!’
Nibhaika ati,” awe unu wendaga okufumya iyekalu na nuyumbaka musiku esatu, nuwikishe omwene! Alabha uli mwana wa Nyamuanga, ikaansi usoke kumusalabha!”
41 In the same way the chief priests, with the Teachers of the Law and elders, said in mockery,
Nyabhuliko one abhakulu abhabhagabhisi bhaliga Ni bhamugombelesha amwi na bhandiki na bhakaluka nibhaika ati,
42 ‘He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the “king of Israel”! Why doesn’t he come down from the cross now, then we will believe in him.
Akishaga abhandi, nawe atakutula okwikisha omwenene. Omwene ni mukama wa Bhayaudi. Natuke ansi okusoka kumusalabha, nio jechimwikilishe.
43 He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said “I am God’s Son.”’
Eikanyishe Nyamuanga siga Nyamuanga amukishe olyanu labha Kenda, okubha aikile ati,' Anye nili mwana wa Nyamuanga.”
44 Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, insulted him in the same way.
Na bhalia abhasakusi abho bhaliga babhambilwe amwi nage one bhaikile emisango jokumufuma.
45 After midday a darkness came over all the country, lasting until three in the afternoon.
Oli kusoka saa mukaga chabheyeo echisute kuchalo chone okukinga saa mwenda.
46 About three Jesus called out loudly, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabacthani’ – that is to say, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Yejile yakinga saa mwenda Yesu nalila kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu, “Eloi, Eloi lama Saba kitani?” Isonga ati, “Nyamuanga wani, Nyamuanga wani. Ni kulwaki wasiga?”
47 Some of those standing by heard this, and said, ‘The man is calling for Elijah!’
Omwanya ogwo abhandi bhabhili bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu ao bhoguywe, nibhaika ati kabhilikila Eliya.”
48 One of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and, filling it with common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink.
Ao nao oumwi wabho abhilimile nagega isifongo naijusha ebhyokunywa bhilulu, naitula ingulu ya liti namuyana abhone okunywa.
49 But the rest said, ‘Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.’
Ka bhanu bhasigae nibhaika ati mumusige enyele ela musige chilole labha Eliya kaja okumukisha.”
50 But Jesus, uttering another loud cry, gave up his spirit.
Mbe nio Yesu nalila lindi kwo bhulaka bhunene nasosha omwoyo gwae.
51 Suddenly the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were torn asunder,
Lola, lipajia lya iyekalu lyatikilemo mabhala gabhili okusokelela ingulu kukinga emwalo. Na Insi niyalala na amatale nigatika bhibhala.
52 the tombs opened, and the bodies of many of God’s people who had fallen asleep rose,
Jifwa nijiguka, ne mibhili eja bhelu bhafu bhanu bhaliga bhamamile jitilo nibhasululwa.
53 and they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.
Bhasokele munfwa kwo kumala okusuluka kwae, bhengie mumusi omwelu na bhabhonekene bhafu.
54 The Roman centurion, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed, ‘This must indeed have been God’s Son!’
Nawe uliya Akida na bhalia abho bhaliga nibhamulola Yesu bhalolele echiyalalo namamagambo ganu gabhonekene, bhejuwe no bhubha muno nibhaikana ati, “Nichimali unu ali Mwana wa Nyamuanga.”
55 There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.
Abhagasi bhafu bhanu bhaliga nibhamulubhilisha Yesu okusoka Galilaya bhanu bhamufulubhendelaga bhaliga bhalio aliya nibhalolaga okusoka kula.
56 Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
Mwabho aliga alimo Mariamu Magdarena, Mariamu nyilamwene Yakobho na Josefu na nyilamwene abhana bha Jebhedayo.
57 When evening had fallen, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.
Yejile yakinga kegolo, ejile munu munibhi okusoka Alimataya, unu atogwaga Yusufu, unu one aliga mwiigisibhwa wa Yesu.
58 He went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate ordered it to be given him.
Agendelee ku Pilato nagusabhwa omubhili gwa Yesu. Mbe niwo Pilato nalagilila abhone okumuyana.
59 So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,
Yusufu agegele omubhili nagubhoya no mwenda gwa isufu ya kisi,
60 and laid it in his newly made tomb which he had cut in the rock; and, before he left, he rolled a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.
na nagumamya munfwa inyaya ya inu aliga asimbile kulutale, niwo nasilingisha libhui enene niliswikila omulyango gwa infwa nagenda jae.
61 Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.
Mariamu magdarena na Mariamu oundi bhaliga bhalio alia bhenyanjile bhasomekene na infwa.
62 The next day – that is, the day following the Preparation-day – the chief priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said,
Olusiku olwo lwalubhie olwo lwaliga lusiku olwo kwilabha, abhakulu bha bhagabhisi na abhafarisayo nibhekofyanyisha amwi ewa pilato.
63 ‘Sir, we remember that, during his lifetime, that impostor said “I will rise after three days.”
Nibhamubhwila ati, “Mukulu echijuka ati omwanya gulia omubhei aliga achali muanga, aikile ati, alibha jatulao nsiku esatu ndisuka lindi.'
64 So order the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him, and then say to the people “He has risen from the dead,” when the latest imposture will be worse than the first.’
Mbe kulwejo lagilila ati infwa ilindwe kata kukinga ku lusiku lwa kasatu. Bhindi nebyo, abheigisibhwa bhae abhatula okuja okumwibha na nibhaikana ku bhanu, 'Asulukile okusoka mu bhafuye' na okubheya kwa kubhutelo obhubha bhubhibhi okukila bhulia obho kwamba.”
65 ‘You may have a guard,’ was Pilate’s reply. ‘Go and make the tomb as secure as you can.’
Pilato nabhabhwila ati, “Mugege abhalisi. Mugende mukole iyali yo mulembe lwa kutyo omutula.
66 So they went and made the tomb secure, by sealing the stone, in presence of the guard.
Kutyo bhagendele na nibhakola infwa kubha mulembe, libhui lyabhumilwe echibhalikisho no kutulako abhalisi.
