Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended all these words, he said unto his disciples:
Lino chakaba kuti Jesu nakamana majwi aya oonse, wakati kuli basikwiya bakwe,
2 Ye know that, after two days, the passover, taketh place, —and, the Son of Man, is to be delivered up, to be crucified.
“Mulizi kuti kwayinda mazuba abili pobwe lyakwindilila ngalyasika, e; yo Mwana Muntu waabwa kuti akagankaminwe.”
3 Then, were gathered together, the High-priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High-priest who was called Caiaphas;
Mpawo mupayizi mupati abapati bamwi babantu bakali bungene aantomwe mungánda yamuapyizi silutwe, wakalikutegwa ngu Kkayafasi.
4 and they took counsel together, in order that, Jesus, by guile, they might secure, and slay.
Bakalangula inzila isisikene kabali antomwe kuti bamwange Jesu chakumubba akuyomujaya.
5 They were saying, however: Not during the feast, lest, an uproar, arise among the people.
Nkambo bakali kwamba kuti, “kutabi chiindi chapobwe litakwe bumena, kuti kutabi kunyongana akati kabantu.”
6 But, Jesus, happening to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Lino Jesu nakali mu Bbetani mungánda ya Sayimoni sichinsenda,
7 there came unto him a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of costly perfume, and she poured it down upon his head, as he was reclining.
Nakalikulya atafula, elyo kwakasika mwanakazi wakajisi cinkuli wamafuta adula, elyo wakatila Jesu amutwe
8 And the disciples, seeing it, were greatly displeased, saying—To what end, this loss?
Pesi basikwiya bakwe nibakaziba, bakabilila alimwi bakati,
9 For this could have been sold for much, and given to the destitute.
“Ninzi chapa kuti aanyonyone obu? Ayaa alikuzigwa amali inyingi akuyopa bachete.”
10 But Jesus, taking note, said unto them—Why vex ye the woman? for, a seemly work, hath she wrought for me;
Pesi Jesu nakaziba echi wakati kulimbabo, “Nkambonzi nimumukatazya mwanakazi ooyu? Nkambo wandichitila chintu chibotu.
11 For, always, the destitute, have ye with you, —but, me, not always, have ye;
Bachete mulaabo chiindi chonse, pesi tamukoyooba andime pe chindi choonse.
12 For, she, pouring this perfume upon my body, so as to prepare me for burial, did it.
Nkambo mpatila mafuta aya amubili wangu, wazichitila kuzikwa kwangu
13 Verily, I say unto you—Wheresoever this glad-message shall be proclaimed in all the world, also what she did, will be told, as a memorial of her.
kasimpe ndamwambila kuti kufumbwa nkwayokambawukwa makani mabotu, munyika yoonse echi nchaachita mwanakazi oyu chinoyowambwa kuti bakamwibaluke.
14 Then, went one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, unto the High-priests,
Mpawo umwi wabali kkumi ababili, wakali kuteghwa Judasi sikaliyoti, wakayinka kumupayizi mupati
15 and said—What are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
Alimwi wakati, “Ninzi nchimuyanda kundipa kuti ndimwabe kulindinywe?” Bakazuminana makumi ataatu ansiliva kuti bamupe.
16 And, from that time, was he seeking a favourable opportunity that he might, deliver him up.
Kuzwa kuleechochindi wakalangula mwenya wakumwaba kulimbabo.
17 And, on the first of the days of unleavened bread, the disciples came unto Jesus, saying—Where wilt thou, that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?
Lino mubuzuba butaanzibwachinkwa chitakwe bumena basikwiya bakaza kuli Jesu akumwambila kuti, “Nkukuli nkoyanda kuti tukakubambilile kuti ukalye pobwe lyakwindilila?
18 And, he, said—Go your way into the city, unto such-a-one, and say to him, The teacher, saith, My season, is, near, with thee, will I keep the passover, with my disciples.
Wakamba kuti, “Ngamwinke mumyuunzi kuli umwi mwalumi akumwambila kuti, “Muyisi wati, “chindi changu chaba mumaanza. Ndiyobamba ipobwe lyakwindilila kungánda yako abasikwiya bangu.
19 And the disciples did, as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.
Basikwiya bakachita mbuli Jesu mbwakabalayilila, alimwi bakakubamba kulya kwapobwe lyakwindilila.
20 And, when, evening, came, he was reclining with the twelve [disciples];
Lino nichakaba chindi chagoko, wakakkala aansi kuti alye abasikwiya balikkumi ababili.
21 and, as they were eating, he said—Verily, I say unto you, One from among you, will deliver me up.
Awo nibakali kulya, wakabambila kuti, “Nkasimpe ndamwambila kuti umwi wanu uyondaaba.”
22 And, being exceedingly grieved, they began to be saying to him, each one—Can it be, I, Lord?
Bakawusa kapati, elyo umwi wakatalika kumubuzya kuti, “Zyanchonzyo tendime na Mwami?”
23 And, he, answering, said—He who hath dipped with me his hand in the bowl, the same, will deliver me up.
Wakasandula kati, “Ngumwi oyo unika kuboko kwakwe andime mukabbavu ngonguwe uyondaaba.
24 The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him, —But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!
Mwana Muntu uleenda, mbuli mbukulembedwe atala anguwe, pesi maawe kulooyo muntu uwaaba Mwana a Muntu! Chalikubota kuloyo muntu natakazyalwa.”
25 And Judas, who was delivering him up, answering, said—Can it be, I, Rabbi? He saith unto him—Thou, hast said.
Judasi oyo wakali wakayanda kuyomuuzya wakati, “Ndime na, Mwami?” wakamwambila kuti, “walyambila olikke.”
26 And, as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf and blessing, brake, —and, giving to his disciples, said—Take, eat! This, is, my body.
Kabalimukulya, Jesu wakabweza chinkwa, wachilongezya, akuchikwamuna. Wakachipa basikwiya akubambila kuti, “Mubweze, mulye. Ooyu ngomubili wangu.”
27 And, taking a cup, and giving thanks, he gave unto them, saying—Drink of it, all of you;
Wakabweza nkomeki akulumba, alimwi wakabapa akwamba kuti, “Munywe, moonse.
28 For, this, is my blood of the covenant, which, for many, is to be poured out, for remission of sins.
Nkambo obumbulowa bwangu bwachizuminano butililwa bayingi kuti balekelelwe zibi.
29 Moreover, I say unto you—In nowise, will I drink, henceforth, of this produce of the vine, until that day, whensoever I shall drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.
Pesi ndimwambila kuti, tandi koyonywa limbi muchelo wamasansa, kusikila mubuzuba obo mbwintakanywe bupya andinywe mu Bwami bwa Taata.”
30 And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.
Lino nibakazwa kwimba lwiimbo, bakayinka kuchilundu chama oliva.
31 Then, Jesus saith unto them—All ye, will find cause of stumbling in me, during this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep of the flock, will be scattered abroad;
Mpawo Jesu wakabambila kuti, “moonse muyolebwa mansiku aano nkambo kandime, nkambo kuli lembedwe kuti, Ndiyowuma mwembeli alimwi butanga bwambelele buyomwayika.'
32 But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
Pesi musule ndakubusigwa, ndiyomusangunina kuya mu Galili.”
33 Now Peter, answering, said unto him—Though, all, shall find cause of stumbling in thee, I, shall never find cause of stumbling.
Pesi Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Nekuba boonse balebwa nkambo kanduwe, mebo andike tandikoyolebwa pe.”
34 Jesus saith unto him: Verily, I say unto thee—During this night, before a cock crow, Thrice, wilt thou deny me.
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “chakasimpe ndakwambila kuti, busiku mbubobuno, mukombwe katana kukokolika, unoli wandikaka tutaatu.”
35 Peter saith unto him: Even though it be needful for me, with thee to die, in nowise, will I deny thee. Likewise, all the disciples also, said.
Pita wakamwambila kuti, “Nikuba kufwa anduwe ndilakonzya, nsikoyokukaka pe. “Boonse basikwiya bakamba chomwe.
36 Then Jesus cometh with them, into a place called Gethsemane, —and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
Mpawo Jesu wakinkabo kubusena ibutegwa Gesemane alimwi wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Amukkale aano ninchiya kukukomba.”
37 And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress.
Wakabweza Pita abana ba Zebbedi babili antoomwe anguwe alimwi bakatalika kuba amawuse aku katazika.
38 Then, saith he unto them: Encompassed with grief, is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching with me.
Mpawo wakati kuli mbabo, “Muuya wangu wawusa kapati, nikuba kusikila akulufu. Amuchale ano alimwi mulindile.”
39 And, going forward a little, he fell upon his face, offering prayer, and saying—My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from me, —Nevertheless, not as, I, will, but as, thou, wilt.
Wakayinka anembo kulekule, wakakotamika busyu bwakwe, akukomba wakamba kuti, “Taata, na chakonzeka, nkomeki eyi ngindiinde. Pesi, kutabi kuyanda kwangu, pesi kube kuyanda kwako.
40 And he cometh unto his disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and said unto Peter—Thus, powerless are ye, one hour, to watch with me?
Wakaboola kuli basikwiya akubajanabalimukoona, alimwi wakati kuli Pita, “Niinzi, sa tamukonzyi kulindila andime hoola limwi?
41 Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak.
Amulindile akukomba kuti mutanjilinmukusunkwa. Nchoonzyo Muuya ulayanda, pesi mubili wezuuka.”
42 Again, a second time, departing he prayed, saying: My Father! If it is impossible for this to pass, except I, drink, it, Accomplished, be, thy will.
Wakayinka lwachibili akuyokoomba. Wakamba kuti, “Taata, kuti echi tachikonzeki kwinda kumbali kwakuti ndinywe, kuyanda kwako kuchitwe.
43 And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.
Wakaza lubo wazobajana balikoona, nkambo meso aabo akali alema.
44 And, leaving them, he, again, departed, and prayed a third time, the same word, saying again.
Wakabasiya lubo, wakayinka akuyokoomba kachitaatu, kayindulula majwi omwe.
45 Then, cometh he unto the disciples, and saith unto them, —Ye are sleeping what time remaineth, and taking your rest: Lo! the hour hath drawn near, and, the Son of Man, is being delivered up into the hands of sinners.
Mpawo Jesu wakeza kuli basikwiya akubambila kuti, “Muchoona na akulyokezya? Amulange, hola lyaba mumaboko, alimwi Mwana Muntu waabwa mumaboko abasizibi
46 Arise! let us be going, —Lo! he that delivereth me up, hath drawn near.
Mubuke, twinkeAmulange, oyo sikundaaba waba afwifwi.”
47 And, while, yet, he was speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and, with him, a large multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and Elders of the people.
Nakachili kwambula, Judasi, umwi wabali kkumi awumwi, wakasika, wakaaza amakamu makamu abantu kuzwa kumupayizi mupati abapati babantu. Bakeza amafulo enkoli.
48 And, he who was delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying—Whomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is, —secure him.
Lino oyo mwalumi wakali kuyanda kuuzya Jesu wakali bapede chitondezyo, chamba kuti, “oyo ngwensikamyonte ngonguwe. Mukamuvumpile.”
49 And, straightway, coming unto Jesus, he said—Joy to thee! Rabbi, and eagerly kissed him.
Mpawawo wakasika kuli Jesu akwamba kuti, “Wapona, Omuyisi!” akumumyonta.
50 But, Jesus, said unto him—Friend! wherefore art thou here? Then, coming forward, they thrust their hands upon Jesus, and secured him.
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “Mweenzuma, chita echo nchwazida kuzochita.” mpawo bakasika, babika maanza ali Jesu, akumuvuntila.
51 And lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword, and smiting the servant of the High-priest, cut off his ear.
Amulange, umwi wababo bakali a Jesu wakatandabika janza lyakwe, wasomona kafulo, akuma muzike wamupayizi mupati, akumudyunkula kutwi kwakwe.
52 Then, Jesus saith unto him—Put back thy sword into its place, for, all they who take a sword, by a sword, shall perish.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Bwedezya kafulo kako muchibikilo chako, nkambo boonse abo babweza tufulo bayolobesegwa atufulo.
53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot call upon my Father, and he will set near me, even now, more than twelve legions of messengers?
Muyeeye kuti tendali kukonzya na kwiita Taata, alimwi walikunditumina baangelo bayinda myuya mibi ilikkumi ayibili?
54 How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?
Pesi alikuyo zuzikizigwa biyeni malembe, “kuti echi chichitike?”
55 In that hour, said Jesus unto the multitudes: As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me? Daily in the temple, used I to sit teaching, and ye secured me not;
Kuleecho chindi Jesu wakati kumakamu abantu, “Mwaaza azifulo enkoli kuti muzondivuntile mbotatedi ndimubbi? Mazuba oonse ndakali kuyiisya mungánda ya Leza, alimwi tamwakandaanga pe.
56 But, this, hath, wholly, come to pass, that, the Scriptures of the prophets, may be fulfilled. Then, the disciples, all forsaking him, fled.
Pesi zyoonse eezi zyachitika kuti malembe amusinsimi azuzikizigwe. “Mpawo basikwiya boonse bakamutakata akuchija.
57 And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together.
Abo bakamuvuntila Jesu bakamutola kuli Kkayafasi muapayizi mupati, oko balembi abapati nkabakabungene.
58 Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest, —and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.
Pesi Pita wakamutobelela kule kule kusikila mulubuwa lwamupayizi mupati. Wakanjila mukati akukkala aansi abasikulinda kuti abone chitachitike.
59 Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;
Lino mupayizi mupati abankuta boonse bakali kulangila bukamboni bwakubeja aatala a Jesu kuti bakonzye kumubika kulufu.
60 and found not any, though many came forward as false-witnesses. At length, however, there came forward, two,
Takwepe nchibakajana, nekuba kuti bakamboni bakubeja bakeza. Pesi nichakaba chiindi babili bakasika.
61 and said: This, man said—I am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.
Akwamba kuti, “Oyu mwalumi wakali kuti, 'Ndilakonzya kumwayula ngánda ya Leza akwiyakulula mumazuba ataatu.”
62 And the High-priest, arising, said unto him—Nothing, answerest thou? What are these, against thee bearing witness?
Mupayizi mupati wakimikila akumwambila kuti, “Tukwe nsandulo na?” Niinzi zyoonse eezi nzibalokukukwambila atala anduwe?”
63 But, Jesus, was silent. And, the High-priest, said unto him: I put thee on oath, by the Living God, that, to us, thou say—Whether, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God.
Pesi Jesu wakawumuna. Mupayizi mupati wakamwambila kuti, “Ndakulayilila muli Leza upona, twambile na nduwe Kkilisito, Mwana a Leza.”
64 Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto you—Hereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.
Jesu wakamuvwiila kati, “wamba nduwe omwini. Pesi ndakwambila, kuzwa lino uyoobona Mwan Muntu kakkede kukuboko kwachilisyo kwenguzu, akuyoboola mumayooba akujulu.”
65 Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying—He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!
Mpawo mupayizi mupati wakadelula zisamo zyakwe akwamba kuti, “wambula masampu! Nkambonzi nituchiyanda bukamboni? Amulange lino mwamvwa masampu.
66 How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is.
Muyeyaanzi? Bakasandula akwamba kuti, “Welede lufu.”
67 Then, spat they into his face, and buffeted him; and, others, struck him smartly,
Mpawo bakamuswida kumeso akumuuma, akumuvatula mabbayi,
68 saying—Prophesy unto us, O Christ! Who is he that struck thee?
akwamba kuti, “Tusinsimine, webo Kkilisito. Ngwani wakuuma?”
69 Now, Peter, was sitting without, in the court; and there came unto him a certain female servant, saying—Thou also, wast with Jesus, the Galilaean.
Lino Pita wakalikkede aanze mukati kalubbaya lwankuta, elyo mulanda musimbi wakasika kulinguwe akumwambila kuti, “wakalawe Jesu mu Galili.”
70 But, he, denied before all, saying—I know not what thou sayest.
Pesi wakazikaka kunembo lyabo boonse kaamba kati, “tandizizi pe eezyo nzyolikwamba.”
71 And, when he went out into the porch, another female saw him, and said unto them who were there—This, one was with Jesus the Nazarene.
Lino nakazwa anze amulyango walubaya, awumwi musimbi mulanda wakamubona akwambila abo mbakalabo, “Ooyu mwalumi wakali awe Jesu waku Nazaleta.”
72 And, again, he denied, with an oath—I know not the man.
Wakakaka lubo chakukonka, “tandimuzipe me mwalumi ooyu.”
73 And, after a little, the by-standers, coming forward, said unto Peter: Truly, thou also, art, from among them, for, thy very speech, maketh thee, manifest.
Musule lyakayindi abo bakalimvwi bakasika akwamba kuti kuli Pita, “Nchamasimpe uli umwi wabo, nkambo nzila njowambula ayo ilakwamba.”
74 Then, began he to be cursing and swearing—I know not the man! And, straightway, a cock crowed.
Mpawo wakatalika kutukila akukonka, “tandimuzi pe mwalumi oyu,” alimwi mpawawo mukombwe waka kokolika.
75 And Peter was put in mind of the declaration of Jesus, of his having said—Before a cock crow, thrice, wilt thou utterly deny me; and, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.
Pita wakayeeya majwi Jesu ngakaambide, “mukombwe katana kokolika uyonditama tutatu.” Mpawo wakaya aanze wakutalika kweema.
