Matthew 26
1 When Yeshua had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
Lino chakaba kuti Jesu nakamana majwi aya oonse, wakati kuli basikwiya bakwe,
2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
“Mulizi kuti kwayinda mazuba abili pobwe lyakwindilila ngalyasika, e; yo Mwana Muntu waabwa kuti akagankaminwe.”
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in 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 They took counsel together that they might take Yeshua by deceit and kill him.
Bakalangula inzila isisikene kabali antomwe kuti bamwange Jesu chakumubba akuyomujaya.
5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur amongst the people.”
Nkambo bakali kwamba kuti, “kutabi chiindi chapobwe litakwe bumena, kuti kutabi kunyongana akati kabantu.”
6 Now when Yeshua was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Lino Jesu nakali mu Bbetani mungánda ya Sayimoni sichinsenda,
7 a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
Nakalikulya atafula, elyo kwakasika mwanakazi wakajisi cinkuli wamafuta adula, elyo wakatila Jesu amutwe
8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
Pesi basikwiya bakwe nibakaziba, bakabilila alimwi bakati,
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
“Ninzi chapa kuti aanyonyone obu? Ayaa alikuzigwa amali inyingi akuyopa bachete.”
10 However, knowing this, Yeshua said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
Pesi Jesu nakaziba echi wakati kulimbabo, “Nkambonzi nimumukatazya mwanakazi ooyu? Nkambo wandichitila chintu chibotu.
11 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
Bachete mulaabo chiindi chonse, pesi tamukoyooba andime pe chindi choonse.
12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
Nkambo mpatila mafuta aya amubili wangu, wazichitila kuzikwa kwangu
13 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
kasimpe ndamwambila kuti kufumbwa nkwayokambawukwa makani mabotu, munyika yoonse echi nchaachita mwanakazi oyu chinoyowambwa kuti bakamwibaluke.
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judah Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Mpawo umwi wabali kkumi ababili, wakali kuteghwa Judasi sikaliyoti, wakayinka kumupayizi mupati
15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
Alimwi wakati, “Ninzi nchimuyanda kundipa kuti ndimwabe kulindinywe?” Bakazuminana makumi ataatu ansiliva kuti bamupe.
16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
Kuzwa kuleechochindi wakalangula mwenya wakumwaba kulimbabo.
17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Yeshua, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
Lino mubuzuba butaanzibwachinkwa chitakwe bumena basikwiya bakaza kuli Jesu akumwambila kuti, “Nkukuli nkoyanda kuti tukakubambilile kuti ukalye pobwe lyakwindilila?
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Rabbi says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house 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 The disciples did as Yeshua commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
Basikwiya bakachita mbuli Jesu mbwakabalayilila, alimwi bakakubamba kulya kwapobwe lyakwindilila.
20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
Lino nichakaba chindi chagoko, wakakkala aansi kuti alye abasikwiya balikkumi ababili.
21 As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
Awo nibakali kulya, wakabambila kuti, “Nkasimpe ndamwambila kuti umwi wanu uyondaaba.”
22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
Bakawusa kapati, elyo umwi wakatalika kumubuzya kuti, “Zyanchonzyo tendime na Mwami?”
23 He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
Wakasandula kati, “Ngumwi oyo unika kuboko kwakwe andime mukabbavu ngonguwe uyondaaba.
24 The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
Mwana Muntu uleenda, mbuli mbukulembedwe atala anguwe, pesi maawe kulooyo muntu uwaaba Mwana a Muntu! Chalikubota kuloyo muntu natakazyalwa.”
25 Judah, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
Judasi oyo wakali wakayanda kuyomuuzya wakati, “Ndime na, Mwami?” wakamwambila kuti, “walyambila olikke.”
26 As they were eating, Yeshua took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
Kabalimukulya, Jesu wakabweza chinkwa, wachilongezya, akuchikwamuna. Wakachipa basikwiya akubambila kuti, “Mubweze, mulye. Ooyu ngomubili wangu.”
27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
Wakabweza nkomeki akulumba, alimwi wakabapa akwamba kuti, “Munywe, moonse.
28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
Nkambo obumbulowa bwangu bwachizuminano butililwa bayingi kuti balekelelwe zibi.
29 But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
Pesi ndimwambila kuti, tandi koyonywa limbi muchelo wamasansa, kusikila mubuzuba obo mbwintakanywe bupya andinywe mu Bwami bwa Taata.”
30 When they had sung the Hallel, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Lino nibakazwa kwimba lwiimbo, bakayinka kuchilundu chama oliva.
31 Then Yeshua said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
Mpawo Jesu wakabambila kuti, “moonse muyolebwa mansiku aano nkambo kandime, nkambo kuli lembedwe kuti, Ndiyowuma mwembeli alimwi butanga bwambelele buyomwayika.'
32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
Pesi musule ndakubusigwa, ndiyomusangunina kuya mu Galili.”
33 But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
Pesi Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Nekuba boonse balebwa nkambo kanduwe, mebo andike tandikoyolebwa pe.”
34 Yeshua said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “chakasimpe ndakwambila kuti, busiku mbubobuno, mukombwe katana kukokolika, unoli wandikaka tutaatu.”
35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
Pita wakamwambila kuti, “Nikuba kufwa anduwe ndilakonzya, nsikoyokukaka pe. “Boonse basikwiya bakamba chomwe.
36 Then Yeshua came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
Mpawo Jesu wakinkabo kubusena ibutegwa Gesemane alimwi wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Amukkale aano ninchiya kukukomba.”
37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
Wakabweza Pita abana ba Zebbedi babili antoomwe anguwe alimwi bakatalika kuba amawuse aku katazika.
38 Then Yeshua said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
Mpawo wakati kuli mbabo, “Muuya wangu wawusa kapati, nikuba kusikila akulufu. Amuchale ano alimwi mulindile.”
39 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
Wakayinka anembo kulekule, wakakotamika busyu bwakwe, akukomba wakamba kuti, “Taata, na chakonzeka, nkomeki eyi ngindiinde. Pesi, kutabi kuyanda kwangu, pesi kube kuyanda kwako.
40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
Wakaboola kuli basikwiya akubajanabalimukoona, alimwi wakati kuli Pita, “Niinzi, sa tamukonzyi kulindila andime hoola limwi?
41 Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Amulindile akukomba kuti mutanjilinmukusunkwa. Nchoonzyo Muuya ulayanda, pesi mubili wezuuka.”
42 Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
Wakayinka lwachibili akuyokoomba. Wakamba kuti, “Taata, kuti echi tachikonzeki kwinda kumbali kwakuti ndinywe, kuyanda kwako kuchitwe.
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Wakaza lubo wazobajana balikoona, nkambo meso aabo akali alema.
44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
Wakabasiya lubo, wakayinka akuyokoomba kachitaatu, kayindulula majwi omwe.
45 Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed 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’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
Mubuke, twinkeAmulange, oyo sikundaaba waba afwifwi.”
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judah, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief 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 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
Lino oyo mwalumi wakali kuyanda kuuzya Jesu wakali bapede chitondezyo, chamba kuti, “oyo ngwensikamyonte ngonguwe. Mukamuvumpile.”
49 Immediately he came to Yeshua, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
Mpawawo wakasika kuli Jesu akwamba kuti, “Wapona, Omuyisi!” akumumyonta.
50 Yeshua said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Yeshua, and took him.
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “Mweenzuma, chita echo nchwazida kuzochita.” mpawo bakasika, babika maanza ali Jesu, akumuvuntila.
51 Behold, one of those who were with Yeshua stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Amulange, umwi wababo bakali a Jesu wakatandabika janza lyakwe, wasomona kafulo, akuma muzike wamupayizi mupati, akumudyunkula kutwi kwakwe.
52 Then Yeshua said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Bwedezya kafulo kako muchibikilo chako, nkambo boonse abo babweza tufulo bayolobesegwa atufulo.
53 Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Muyeeye kuti tendali kukonzya na kwiita Taata, alimwi walikunditumina baangelo bayinda myuya mibi ilikkumi ayibili?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
Pesi alikuyo zuzikizigwa biyeni malembe, “kuti echi chichitike?”
55 In that hour Yeshua said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
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 all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
Pesi zyoonse eezi zyachitika kuti malembe amusinsimi azuzikizigwe. “Mpawo basikwiya boonse bakamutakata akuchija.
57 Those who had taken Yeshua led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
Abo bakamuvuntila Jesu bakamutola kuli Kkayafasi muapayizi mupati, oko balembi abapati nkabakabungene.
58 But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
Pesi Pita wakamutobelela kule kule kusikila mulubuwa lwamupayizi mupati. Wakanjila mukati akukkala aansi abasikulinda kuti abone chitachitike.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Yeshua, 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 they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
Takwepe nchibakajana, nekuba kuti bakamboni bakubeja bakeza. Pesi nichakaba chiindi babili bakasika.
61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
Akwamba kuti, “Oyu mwalumi wakali kuti, 'Ndilakonzya kumwayula ngánda ya Leza akwiyakulula mumazuba ataatu.”
62 The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
Mupayizi mupati wakimikila akumwambila kuti, “Tukwe nsandulo na?” Niinzi zyoonse eezi nzibalokukukwambila atala anduwe?”
63 But Yeshua stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
Pesi Jesu wakawumuna. Mupayizi mupati wakamwambila kuti, “Ndakulayilila muli Leza upona, twambile na nduwe Kkilisito, Mwana a Leza.”
64 Yeshua said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
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 tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
Mpawo mupayizi mupati wakadelula zisamo zyakwe akwamba kuti, “wambula masampu! Nkambonzi nituchiyanda bukamboni? Amulange lino mwamvwa masampu.
66 What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
Muyeyaanzi? Bakasandula akwamba kuti, “Welede lufu.”
67 Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
Mpawo bakamuswida kumeso akumuuma, akumuvatula mabbayi,
68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you?”
akwamba kuti, “Tusinsimine, webo Kkilisito. Ngwani wakuuma?”
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Yeshua, the Galilean!”
Lino Pita wakalikkede aanze mukati kalubbaya lwankuta, elyo mulanda musimbi wakasika kulinguwe akumwambila kuti, “wakalawe Jesu mu Galili.”
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Pesi wakazikaka kunembo lyabo boonse kaamba kati, “tandizizi pe eezyo nzyolikwamba.”
71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Yeshua of Nazareth.”
Lino nakazwa anze amulyango walubaya, awumwi musimbi mulanda wakamubona akwambila abo mbakalabo, “Ooyu mwalumi wakali awe Jesu waku Nazaleta.”
72 Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
Wakakaka lubo chakukonka, “tandimuzipe me mwalumi ooyu.”
73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
Musule lyakayindi abo bakalimvwi bakasika akwamba kuti kuli Pita, “Nchamasimpe uli umwi wabo, nkambo nzila njowambula ayo ilakwamba.”
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
Mpawo wakatalika kutukila akukonka, “tandimuzi pe mwalumi oyu,” alimwi mpawawo mukombwe waka kokolika.
75 Peter remembered the word which Yeshua had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
Pita wakayeeya majwi Jesu ngakaambide, “mukombwe katana kokolika uyonditama tutatu.” Mpawo wakaya aanze wakutalika kweema.
