Luka 22
1 Na rĩrĩ, Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩrĩa Ĩtekĩrĩtwo Ndawa ya Kũimbia, kĩrĩa gĩĩtagwo Bathaka, nĩgĩakuhĩrĩirie,
The Feast of the Unleavened Bread, known as the Passover, was near.
2 nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho nĩmacaragia ũrĩa mangĩũragithia Jesũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmetigagĩra mũingĩ wa andũ.
The Chief Priest and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
3 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Shaitani agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wa Judasi ũrĩa Mũisikariota, ũmwe wa arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ.
Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
4 Nake Judasi agĩthiĩ kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na kũrĩ anene a arangĩri a hekarũ makarĩkanĩre ũrĩa angĩkunyanĩra Jesũ.
and he went and discussed with the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
5 Nao magĩkena na magĩtĩkĩra kũmũhe mbeeca.
They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
6 Nake agĩĩtĩkĩra, na akĩambĩrĩria gũcaria mweke wa kũneana Jesũ kũrĩ o rĩrĩa hatarĩ na andũ.
So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
7 Naguo mũthenya wa kũrĩa Mĩgate ĩrĩa Ĩtekĩrĩtwo Ndawa ya Kũimbia ũgĩkinya, rĩrĩa gatũrũme ka Bathaka kaarutagwo igongona.
When the day of the Festival of the Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
8 Jesũ agĩtũma Petero na Johana, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgatũhaarĩrie irio cia Bathaka, tũrĩe.”
Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them: “Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.”
9 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda tũgacihaarĩrie kũ?”
“Where do you wish us to make preparations?” they asked.
10 Akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũgĩtoonya itũũra-inĩ inene-rĩ, nĩmũgũcemania na mũndũ ũkuuĩte ndigithũ ĩrĩ na maaĩ. Mũmũrũmĩrĩre o nginya nyũmba ĩrĩa egũtoonya.
“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;
11 Mwatoonya mwĩre mũndũ ũrĩa mwene nyũmba ĩyo atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrutani aroria atĩrĩ: Nyũmba ya ageni ĩrĩ ha, harĩa ingĩrĩĩra Bathaka na arutwo akwa?’
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?’
12 Nake nĩekũmuonia nyũmba nene ya igũrũ ĩrĩ na indo kuo. Haarĩriai irio cia Bathaka kuo.”
The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
13 Nao magĩthiĩ, magĩkora maũndũ matariĩ o ta ũrĩa Jesũ aamerĩte. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩhaarĩria irio cia Bathaka.
So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 Rĩrĩa ihinda rĩakinyire, Jesũ na atũmwo ake magĩikara metha-inĩ.
When the time came, Jesus took his place at table, and the Apostles with him.
15 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩngoretwo ndĩĩrirĩirie mũno kũrĩanĩra Bathaka ĩno na inyuĩ itananyariirwo.
“I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ndikamĩrĩa rĩngĩ nginya rĩrĩa ĩgaakinyanĩrio ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
For I tell you that I shall not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the Kingdom of God.”
17 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩoya gĩkombe, agĩcookeria Ngai ngaatho, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Oyai, mũnyuanĩre.
Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said:
18 Nĩgũkorwo ngũmwĩra atĩ kuuma rĩu ndikanyua rĩngĩ ndibei ya maciaro ma mĩthabibũ, o nginya rĩrĩa ũthamaki wa Ngai ũgooka.”
“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.”
19 Agĩcooka akĩoya mũgate, na aarĩkia gũcookeria Ngai ngaatho, akĩwenyũranga akĩmahe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩguo mwĩrĩ wakwa ũrĩa ũheanĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wanyu, ĩkagai ũũ nĩguo mũndirikanage.”
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.”]
20 Maarĩkia kũrĩa agĩĩka o ũguo, akĩoya gĩkombe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gĩkombe gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa kĩerũ thĩinĩ wa thakame yakwa ĩrĩa ĩgũitwo nĩ ũndũ wanyu.
[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. ]
21 No rĩrĩ, guoko kwa ũrĩa ũrĩngunyanĩra kũrĩ hamwe na niĩ metha-inĩ ĩno.
Yet see! the hand of the man that is betraying me is beside me upon the table!
22 Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegwĩkwo o ta ũrĩa gũtuĩtwo, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũmũkunyanĩra kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!”
True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!”
23 Nao makĩambĩrĩria kũũrania gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nĩ ũrĩkũ wao ũngĩka ũguo.
Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be that was going to do this.
24 Ningĩ nĩmagĩire na ngarari makĩũrania nũũ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao ũngĩtuuo mũnene.
And a dispute arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Athamaki a andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩmenenehagia igũrũ rĩa andũ ao; nao acio maathanaga nĩo meĩĩtaga Ateithania.
Jesus, however, said: “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled ‘Benefactors.’
26 No inyuĩ mũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩkũhaana ũguo. Handũ ha ũguo, ũrĩa mũnene gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu agĩrĩirwo kũhaana ta ũrĩa mũnini mũno, nake ũrĩa wathanaga atuĩke ta ũrĩa ũtungataga.
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.
27 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nũũ mũnene, nĩ ũrĩa ũikaraga metha-inĩ kũrĩa kana nĩ ũrĩa ũramũtungata? Githĩ ti ũrĩa ũikaraga metha-inĩ? No niĩ ndũire na inyuĩ, haana ta ũrĩa ũmũtungatagĩra.
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.
28 Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ mũkoretwo mũrĩ hamwe na niĩ hĩndĩ ya magerio makwa.
You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
29 Na o ta ũrĩa Baba aheete ũthamaki, o na niĩ nĩndamũhe ũthamaki,
and, just as my Father has assigned me a Kingdom, I assign you places,
30 nĩguo mũkarĩĩagĩra na mũkanyuuagĩra metha-inĩ yakwa ũthamaki-inĩ wakwa, na ningĩ mũikarĩire itĩ-cia-ũnene, mũtuagĩre mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli ciira.
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.
31 “Simoni, Simoni, atĩrĩ, Shaitani nĩahooete rũtha nĩguo agũthũngũthie o ta ũrĩa ngano ĩthũngũthagio.
Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
32 No wee, Simoni nĩngũhooeire nĩgeetha wĩtĩkio waku ndũgathire. Na warĩkia kũnjookerera, ũũmagĩrĩrie ariũ na aarĩ a thoguo.”
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.”
33 Nowe agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩndĩhaarĩirie gũikio njeera o na gũkuanĩra hamwe nawe.”
“Master,” said Peter, “with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.”
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Petero, ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ, ũmũthĩ ngũkũ ĩtanakũga, nĩũrĩngaana maita matatũ uuge atĩ ndũnjũũĩ.”
“I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “the cock will not crow to-day till you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.”
35 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa ndamũtũmire mũtarĩ na kabeti, kana mũhuko, o na kana iraatũ-rĩ, nĩ harĩ kĩndũ mwagire?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ kĩndũ twagire.”
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.
36 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rĩu akorwo ũrĩ na kabeti kana mũhuko-rĩ, kuua; na akorwo ndũrĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, endia nguo yaku ya igũrũ, ũrũgũre.
“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.
37 Na ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũhoro ũrĩa wandĩkĩtwo atĩ, ‘Nĩataranĩirio hamwe na arĩa aagarari watho’ no nginya ũhinge harĩ niĩ. Nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa maandĩkĩtwo igũrũ rĩakwa nĩ hĩndĩ marahinga.”
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.”
38 Nao arutwo makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ta rora haha tũrĩ na hiũ cia njora igĩrĩ.” Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Icio nĩ njiganu.”
“Master,” they exclaimed, “look, here are two swords!” “Enough!” said Jesus.
39 Nake Jesũ akiumagara agĩthiĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ o ta ũrĩa amenyerete gwĩkaga, nao arutwo ake makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.
40 Na aakinya ho akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Hooyai mũtikagwe magerio-inĩ.”
And, when he reached the spot, he said to them: “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”
41 Akĩehera ho, agĩthĩi ta itĩĩna rĩa harĩa mũndũ angĩhota gũikia ihiga, agĩturia ndu akĩhooya,
Then he withdrew about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and began to pray.
42 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, ũngĩenda-rĩ, njehereria gĩkombe gĩkĩ; no ti ũrĩa niĩ ngwenda, no nĩ ũrĩa wee ũkwenda.”
“Father,” he said, “if it is thy pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but thine be done.”
43 Na mũraika akĩmuumĩrĩra oimĩte igũrũ, akĩmuongerera hinya.
Presently there appeared to him an angel from Heaven, who strengthened him.
44 Nake agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũhooya, arĩ na ruo rũnene ngoro-inĩ, nayo thithino yake yahaanaga ta matata manene ma thakame magĩtaata thĩ.
And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.
45 Aatiga kũhooya agĩcooka harĩ arutwo, akĩmakora makomete, moorĩtwo nĩ hinya nĩ kĩeha.
Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũkomete nĩkĩ? Ũkĩrai mũhooe nĩgeetha mũtikagwe magerio-inĩ.”
“Why are you asleep?” he asked them. “Rise and pray, that you may not fall into temptation.”
47 O hĩndĩ ĩyo aragia, hagĩũka gĩkundi kĩa andũ, nake mũndũ ũrĩa wetagwo Judasi, ũmwe wa arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, nĩwe wamatongoretie. Agĩkuhĩrĩria Jesũ amũmumunye,
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;
48 nowe Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Judasi, ũgũkunyanĩra Mũrũ wa Mũndũ na kũmũmumunya?”
on which Jesus said to him: “Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?”
49 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arũmĩrĩri a Jesũ monire ũrĩa kwerekeire gwĩkĩka, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tũmahũũre na hiũ ciitũ cia njora?”
But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed: “Master, shall we use our swords?”
50 Nake ũmwe wao agĩtinia gũtũ kwa ũrĩo kwa ndungata ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
And one of them struck the High Priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
51 Nowe Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũhoro ũcio nĩũkinye hau!” Agĩcooka akĩhutia gũtũ kwa mũndũ ũcio, akĩmũhonia.
on which Jesus said: “Let me at least do this”; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
52 Ningĩ Jesũ akĩũria athĩnjĩrĩ-Ngai arĩa anene, na anene a arangĩri a hekarũ, o na athuuri, arĩa mookĩte kũmũnyiita atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndĩ mũtongoria wa akararia a watho, atĩ nĩkĩo muoka kũũnyiita mũrĩ na hiũ cia njora na njũgũma?
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?
53 Ndĩratũũraga na inyuĩ hekarũ-inĩ o mũthenya, na mũtirĩ mwageria kũnyiita. No rĩrĩ, rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ithaa rĩanyu, ithaa rĩrĩa wathani wa nduma ũraathana.”
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.”
54 Hĩndĩ ĩyo makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũruta hau makĩmũtwara kwa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, nake Petero akĩmũrũmĩrĩra arĩ o haraaya.
Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.
55 Nao maarĩkia gwakia mwaki o nja gatagatĩ na gũikara thĩ hamwe, Petero nake agĩikara thĩ hamwe nao.
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.
56 Ndungata ĩmwe ya mũirĩtu ĩkĩmuona na ũtheri wa mwaki aikarĩte hau, ĩkĩmũrora wega, ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ oima hamwe nake.”
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!”
57 Nowe agĩkaana ũhoro ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu ũyũ, niĩ ndimũũĩ.”
But Peter denied it. “I do not know him,” he replied.
58 Thuutha wa kahinda kanini mũndũ ũngĩ akĩmuona, akiuga atĩrĩ, “O nawe ũrĩ ũmwe wao.” Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ, niĩ ndirĩ wao!”
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.”
59 Thuutha wa ithaa rĩmwe, mũndũ ũngĩ akiuga agwatĩirie atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ nganja mũndũ ũyũ moima hamwe nake, nĩgũkorwo o nake nĩ Mũgalili.”
About an hour later another man declared positively: “This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!”
60 Petero agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ, niĩ ndiũĩ ũrĩa ũroiga!” Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo oigaga ũguo, ngũkũ ĩgĩkũga.
But Peter said: “I do not know what you are speaking about.” Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
61 Mwathani akĩĩhũgũra akĩrora Petero. Nake Petero akĩririkana ũrĩa Mwathani aamwĩrĩte atĩ, “Ũmũthĩ ngũkũ ĩtanakũga nĩũrĩngaana maita matatũ.”
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”;
62 Nake agĩthiĩ nja, akĩrĩra arĩ na ruo rũingĩ.
and he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 Andũ arĩa maarangĩrĩte Jesũ makĩambĩrĩria kũmũnyũrũria makĩmũhũũraga.
The men that held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
64 Makĩmuoha maitho na gĩtambaya makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Toiga nũũ wakũgũtha.”
They blindfolded him and then questioned him. “Now play the Prophet,” they said; “who was it that struck you?”
65 Na nĩmamwĩrire maũndũ mangĩ maingĩ ma kũmũruma.
And they heaped many other insults on him.
66 Rũciinĩ gwakĩa, kĩama gĩa athuuri arĩa atongoria a andũ, hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na arutani a watho, gĩgĩcemania, nake Jesũ akĩrehwo mbere yao.
At daybreak the National Council met — both the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law — and took Jesus before their High Council.
67 Makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Akorwo nĩwe Kristũ, twĩre.” Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩmwĩra, mũtingĩnjĩtĩkia,
“If you are the Christ,” they said, “tell us so.” “If I tell you,” replied Jesus, “you will not believe me;
68 na ingĩmũũria kĩũria, mũtingĩnjokeria.
and, if I question you, you will not answer.
69 No kuuma rĩu, Mũrũ wa Mũndũ arĩkoragwo aikarĩte guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ngai ũrĩa Mwene-Hinya.”
But from this hour ‘the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.’”
70 Othe makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũkĩrĩ Mũrũ wa Ngai?” Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwamenya nĩ kuuga atĩ nĩ niĩ we.”
“Are you, then, the Son of God?” they all asked. “It is true,” answered Jesus, “I am.”
71 Makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Tũgũkĩenda ũira ũngĩ wakĩ? Nĩtweiguĩra ũhoro kuuma kanua gake mwene.”
At this they exclaimed: “Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!”
