Luke 22
1 The Feast of the Unleavened Bread, known as the Passover, was near.
Lino pobwe lyachinkwa chitakwe bumena chakali chaamba kusika, litegwa Pasika.
2 The Chief Priest and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
BaPayizi bapati alimwi abalembi bakalikuyaandula mbubanga balabika Jesu kulufu, nkaambo bakalikuyoowa bantu.
3 Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
Lino Satani wakanjila muli Judasi Isikkaliyoti, ooyo wakali umwi wabalikkumi ababili.
4 and he went and discussed with the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
Judasi wakayinka kubapayizi bapatki akubapati babasilumamba waakubaambila mbanga ulapeda Jesu kulimbabo.
5 They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
Bakabotelwa alimwi bazuminana kuti bamupe mali.
6 So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
Wakazumina alimwi wakayaandula mweenya wakubapa kule abantu.
7 When the day of the Festival of the Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
Nibwakasika buzuba bwachinkwa chitakwe bumena, aawo nikwakeelede kupayigwa kabelele kakwiindilila.
8 Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them: “Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.”
Jesu wakatuma Pita a Joni kaamba kuti, “Mweende mukatubambile chakulya cha Pasika kuchitila kuti tzolye.”
9 “Where do you wish us to make preparations?” they asked.
Bakabuzya kulinguwe bati, “Nkookuli nkoyanda kuti tukachite mabambe aaya?”
10 “Listen,” he answered, “when you have got into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;
Wakabasandula kuti, “Amulange naa mwanjila mumuunzi, mulaswaana mwaalumi utukkide nongo yamanzi. Mukamutobele mung'anda eeyo njatakanjile.
11 and you shall say to the owner of the house ‘The Teacher says to you — Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
Amukatedi kuli muna ng'anda, “Muyiisi wati kulinduwe, ilikuli ng'anda yakulida, oomo munditalide Pasika abasikwiiya bangu?”
12 The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
Uyokutondezya n'anda mpati yakulala yakujulu iili aazyoonse. Kachite mabambe ooko.”
13 So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
Aboobo bakiinka, alimwi bakujana zyoonse mbuli mbakali waamba kulimbabo. Mpawo bakabamba kulya kwa Pasika.
14 When the time came, Jesus took his place at table, and the Apostles with him.
Eelyo chiindi nichakasika, wakakkala aansi abasikwiiya.
15 “I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Ndalikuyandisya kapati kulya Pasika andinywe nkesinapenzegwa,
16 For I tell you that I shall not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the Kingdom of God.”
Nkaambo ndati kulindinywe, nsikoyoolya lubo kusikila zyazuzikizigwa mubwaami bwa Leza.”
17 Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said:
Mpawo Jesu wakabweza nkomeki, alimwi eelyo nakapa kulumba, wakati, “Mubweze eechi, alimwi mukachaabane aakati kanu.
18 “Take this and share it among you. For I tell you that I shall not, after to-day, drink of the juice of the grape, till the Kingdom of God has come.”
Nkaambo ndati kulindinywe, nsikoyoonywa muchelo wa musaansa lubo kusikila bwaami bwa Leza bwasika.”
19 Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words: “This is my body, [which is now to be given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.”]
Mpawo wakabweza chinkwa, alimwi eelyo nakapa kulumba, wakachikwamuna, alimwi wakabapa, kati, “Ooyu mubili wangu, ooyo wapegwa akaambo kanu. Mukachite eechi mukuyeya ndime.”
20 [And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying: “This cup is the New Covenant made by my blood which is being poured out on your behalf. ]
Wakabweza nkomeki munzila yeeelene musule lya chilalilo, kalikuti, “Eeyi nkomeki nchizuminano changu chipya mu gazi lyangu, lyatilwa akaambo kanu.
21 Yet see! the hand of the man that is betraying me is beside me upon the table!
Pesi muswiilile. Ooyo undiwuzya uli andime antafula.
22 True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!”
Nkaambo Mwana mulombe wa Muntu nchobeni uliinka mbuli mbuzyakabambwa. Pesi mawe kuliwoyo muntu uyonduuzya!”
23 Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be that was going to do this.
Bakatalika kuzuwisyania chabochabo kuti ngwani unga uyookonzya kuchita eechi.
24 And a dispute arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
Mpawo kwakaba kukazyania aakati kabo aatala akuti nguuli wabo wakalikubwezwa kali mupati.
25 Jesus, however, said: “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled ‘Benefactors.’
Wakati kulimbabo, “Baami ba bamaasi mbasimalelo aatala ambabo, alimwi aabo bali aabweendelezi aatala ambabo babonwa mbuli baabo bachita bubotu kubantu babo.
26 But with you it must not be so. No, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who leads like him who serves.
Pesi tazyeelede kuba boobu pe andinywe. Anikuti, muleke ooyo mupati aakati kanu abe mbuli muniini, alimwi muleke ooyo uli alugwasyo abe mbuli ooyo ubeleka.
27 Which is the greater — the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am among you as one who serves.
Nkaambo ngwani mupati, ooyo uukkala antafula, na ooyo ubeleka? Nikubaboobo ndili aakati kanu mbuli woyo uubeleka.
28 You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
Pesi ndinywe nimwakiinkilila kunembo andime mumasukukusyo aangu.
29 and, just as my Father has assigned me a Kingdom, I assign you places,
Ndapa kulindinywe bwaami, mbuli Taata wangu mbakapa bwaami kulindime,
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and be seated upon twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
kuti mukonzye kulya akunywa aantafula lyangu mubwaami bwangu, alimwi uyookkala azyuuno kolikubeteka mikowa iilikkumi ayibili ya Izilayeli.
31 Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
Sayimoni, Sayimoni, chenjela, Satani wakukumbila, kuti amwi walikukonzya kukupupulula mbuli witi.
32 but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen your Brothers.”
Pesi ndakukombela, kuti lusyomo lwako lutakachilwi. Niwabweda msule lubo, simwa bakulana bako.”
33 “Master,” said Peter, “with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.”
Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Mwaami, ndililibambilide kwiinka ayebo koonse kuntolongo alimwi a kulufu.”
34 “I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “the cock will not crow to-day till you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.”
Jesu wakamusandula, “Ndakwaambila, Pita, mukuku takoyookokolika buzuba obuno, iwebo kotanandikaka tutatu kuti tondizi pe.”
35 Then he said to them all: “When I sent you out as my Messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No; nothing,” they answered.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Eelyo nindakamutuma aanze kamutakwe chikkwama chemali, chikkwama chazyoonse, na nsangu, mwakakubula chintu na?” Bakasandula, “Takwe pe.”
36 “Now, however,” he said, “he who has a purse must take it and his bag as well; and he who has not must sell his cloak and buy a sword.
Mpawo wakti kulimbabo, “Pesi lino, ooyo uli echikkwama, mumuleke achibweze, alimwi lubo chikkwama chazyoonse. Ooyo utakwe panga weelede kuzya chikobela chakwe alimwi awule limwi.
37 For, I tell you, that passage of Scripture must be fulfilled in me, which says — ‘He was counted among the godless’; indeed all that refers to me is finding its fulfilment.”
Nkaambo ndati kulindinywe, eezyo zilembedwe aatala andime zyeelede kuzuzikizigwa, 'Wakabalwa aantomwe abatakwe mulawu.'
38 “Master,” they exclaimed, “look, here are two swords!” “Enough!” said Jesus.
Mpawo bakati, “Mwaami, langa! Ngaya mapanga obile.”wakati kulimba, kwakkwana.”
39 Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.
Jesu wakiinka, mbuli mbakalikukkala kachita chiindi chiingi, ku Chilundu cha Olivi, alimwi basikwiiya bakamutobela.
40 And, when he reached the spot, he said to them: “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”
Eelyo nibakasika, wakati kulimbabo, “Mukombe kuti mutanjili mumasukusyo.”
41 Then he withdrew about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and began to pray.
Wakazwa aakati kabo afwifwi aasikila bbwe lyakuwala amaboko, alimwi wakafugama aansi alimwi wakakomba,
42 “Father,” he said, “if it is thy pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but thine be done.”
kati, “Taata, na kamuyanda, mugwisye nkomeki eeyi kuzwa kulindime. Nikubaboobo pe pe lwangu luyando, pesi lwanu ngalukachitwe.”
43 Presently there appeared to him an angel from Heaven, who strengthened him.
Mpawo mungelo kuzwa kujulu wakaboneka kulinguwe, kalikumusimya.
44 And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.
Kali mukulila kupati, wakakombesya loko chanchobeni, alimwi nkasaalo yakwe yakaba mbuli malosi mapati agazi kayilikulokela anyika.
45 Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.
Eelyo nakazwa kukukomba kwakwe, wakaya kui basikwiiya bakwe alimwi wakabajana kabalikoona akaambo kabuusu bwakwe
46 “Why are you asleep?” he asked them. “Rise and pray, that you may not fall into temptation.”
alimwi wakababuzya, “Nkaambonzi nimulikoona? Mubuke mukombe, kuti mutakanjili mumasukuusyo.”
47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;
Aawo nakachilikwaambula, bona, inkamu yakaboneka, aantomwe a Judasi, umwi wa bali kkumi ababili, kali kubazulwida. Wakaza afwifwi a Jesu kuzomumyonta,
48 on which Jesus said to him: “Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?”
pesi Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Judasi ulikuuzya Mwana mulombe wa Muntu alumyonto?”
49 But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed: “Master, shall we use our swords?”
Eelyo bakazyungulukide Jesu nibakabona zyakali kuchitikana, bakati, “Mwaami, tuume na apanga?”
50 And one of them struck the High Priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
Mpawo umwi wabo wakawuma mulanda wa mupayizi mupati, alimwi wakakwapula kutwi kwakwe kwachilisyo.
51 on which Jesus said: “Let me at least do this”; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
Jesu wakati, “Eezyo zyakkwana!” Wakaguma kutwi kwakwe, alimwi wakamuponia.
52 Then, turning to the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple and Councillors, who had come for him, he said: “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs?
Jesu wakati kuli silutwe wa bapayizi ba muchikombelo, alimwi akubapati bakamubukila, “Muza mbuli kumubbi, kamuli amapanga a nkoli?
53 When I was with you day after day in the Temple Courts, you did not lay hands on me; but now your time has come, and the power of Darkness.”
Eelyo nindakali aandinywe mazuba oonse muchikombele, takwe nimwakabika maboko aanu alindime. Pesi eeli ndihola lyanu, alimwi bweendelezi bwamumudima.”
54 Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.
Kabamukwensa, bakamubweza alimwi bamutola kun'anda yamupayizi mupati. Pesi Pita wakalikutobela kulekule.
55 But, when they had lit a fire in the centre of the court-yard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
Musule lyakudukula mulilo aakati kabbetekelo alimwi kabali bakkala aansi aantomwe, Pita wakakkala aakatai kabo.
56 Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. Fixing her eyes on him, she said: “Why, this man was one of his companions!”
Umwi mulanda mwanakazi wakamubona aawo nakakkende mumumuni wamulilo alimwi wakalanga kulinguwe chakumudunamina alimwi wakati, “Ooyu mwaalumi alakwe wakali aanguwe.”
57 But Peter denied it. “I do not know him,” he replied.
Pesi Pita wakakaka, kati, “Mwanakazi, nsimwizi pe.”
58 A little while afterwards some one else — a man — saw him and said: “Why, you are one of them!” “No,” Peter said, “I am not.”
Musule lyakayindi kaniini loko umwi wakamubona, alimwi wakati, “Nduwe umwi wabo.” Pesi Pita wakati, “Mwaalumi, tensi ndime.”
59 About an hour later another man declared positively: “This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!”
Nikwakiinda hola lyomwe uumbi mwaalumi wakasisimpizya alimwi wakati, “Nchobeni mwaalumi ooyu alakwe wakali aanguwe, nkaambo ngwaku Galili.”
60 But Peter said: “I do not know what you are speaking about.” Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
Pesi Pita wakati, “Mwaalumi, nsizi pe eecho ncholikwaamba.” Chakufwambaana, nakachilikwaambula, mukuku wakakokolika.
61 And the Master turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the words that the Master had said to him — “Before a cock has crowed to-day, you will disown me three times”;
Wakachebuka, Mwaami wakalanga Pita, alimwi Pita wakayeya ijwi lya Mwaami, eelyo nakati kulinguwe, “Mukuku katanaakokolika sunu uyondikaka tutatu.”
62 and he went outside and wept bitterly.
Pita wakiinka aanze alimwi wakakulila kapati.
63 The men that held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
Mpawo baalumi bakalindide Jesu bakamuseka alimwi bakamuuma.
64 They blindfolded him and then questioned him. “Now play the Prophet,” they said; “who was it that struck you?”
Bakabika chivumbyo aatala lyakwe alimwi bakamubuzya, kabati, “Sinsima! Ngwani ooyo wakuuma?”
65 And they heaped many other insults on him.
Bakaambula zimwi zyiingi zintu aatala a Jesu, kabalikumutuka.
66 At daybreak the National Council met — both the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law — and took Jesus before their High Council.
Chakufwambaana mbuli mbulyakali zuba, bapati babantu bakaswaanana aantomwe, bapayizi bapati alimwi abalembi. Bakamutola mu Nkuta
67 “If you are the Christ,” they said, “tell us so.” “If I tell you,” replied Jesus, “you will not believe me;
alimwi bakati, “Na koli Kkilisito, twaambile.” Pesi wakati kulimbabo, “Na ndamwaambila, tamukoyoondisyoma pe,
68 and, if I question you, you will not answer.
alimwi na ndamubuzya, tamukoyoosandula pe.
69 But from this hour ‘the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.’”
Pesi kuzwa lino kaziya kunembo, Mwana mulombe wa Muntu unoyokkede kuchilisyo chamanguzu aa Leza.”
70 “Are you, then, the Son of God?” they all asked. “It is true,” answered Jesus, “I am.”
Boonse bakati, “Nkokwaamba kuti uli Mwana mulombe wa Leza?” Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Mwaamba kuti ndime.”
71 At this they exclaimed: “Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!”
Bakati, “Nkaambonzi nituchiyanda mukamboni? Nkaambo lwesu tobweni twalimvwida kuzwa kumulomo wakwe.”
