Luke 22
1 Ba he inton u bredi wa ana sa na, a ti whewhre, wa ba you ndi ngan u za.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand.
2 Bi ninkon bi tu du Irji, baba bi han be, ba susun da tre nitu bawu Yesu, ni ki basi klu sissri ba ndji.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.
3 Ibrji a ri ni Yahuza Iskariyoti, iri ni mi mri koh ma tso.
And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
4 Yahuda a hi ninkon bi toh ndu Irji, biwa ba yah ndji kpatsri, wawu ni vu Yesu no ba.
And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.
5 U ba ngyiri ni wu, nda no nklen
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 Wa kpa nyime, da wa nkon wa ani vu noba ni nton wa indji bana he na.
And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.
7 Ivi u gah u za, naki ba ti gan u hay ikru wu ton yin.
And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.
8 Yesu a ton Bitrus mba Yohana, da tre, Hi ndi mla bubu biri u ton yin, du ta ri.
And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.
9 Ba mye, ni nsten wu son ki hi mla bubu ati?
But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 A ka sah ni bawu, inde bi ri nimi gbu'a, bi tsra nio ndji a nji iriman. Hu hi ri nimi koh wa ani ri.
And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 Hla ni ndji u koh, ndi mala, tre mikoh bi tsri he ni ntsen, wa mi ribi ri ni mri koh mu?
And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?
12 Ani tsro yi kikle ko u koshu, wa ba mla ti ye bika mla ti ni mun.
And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.
13 U ba hi da toh ikpe a he naki. Baka mla bubu u tan bredi wa ana sa na.
And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.
14 Da inton ati wa ka sun ni mri koh ma.
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 Wa a hla ni bawu, mi you suron ndi mi tan bredi wa ana sa na ni yi, ri ni yah.
And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.
16 Naki mi hla yiwu, mi na la tan bredi ni yi na, se ba mla wu ti ni koh Irji.
For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 Yesu ban gbaju'a da ngyiri nda tre kpa wayi, gaa ni kpambi.
And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:
18 Naki mi si hla yiwu mi na la so mma klo kunkro na, se koh Irji ye.
For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.
19 A ban bredi'a nda ngyiri, nda mere no ba nda tre wayi yi nma kpa mu, wa ba no don biyi, bita ti nayi ndi ta ri mre mu.
And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.
20 A ban gbaju'a ni kogon bredi, iwa yi a si sa tre'a, a yi mu wa ba kahle don biyi.
In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.
21 Bi ka mla yah indji wa ani vu noba, a he nime ni tu tebru.
But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 Naki Ivren Ndji hi gbigbi na ba tre, Iyah ndi kima wa ani vu noba.
And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.
23 Baka lunde nda ni mye kpa mba, ahi nha ni mi mbu wa ani tie kpe mba.
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 Ba lu si sen nyu ni kpa mba, nitu ninkon u shu.
And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.
25 A hla ni bawu, bi tu chu baba ndji biwa bana toh Irji na, ba tsro gbengblen mba, bari ba he ni gbengblen nitu mba, ba you ba ndi bi mulki ni daraja.
And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.
26 Du na he naki ni yi na, naki du ndji wa a ninkonni yi du he na vivren tsitsa, indji wa a zan yi ka he na u tindu.
But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.
27 A hi nha a hi ninkon, wa a sun ni tebru, ko a wa a si tie ndu'a? Ana wa a sun nitu tebru na? Naki me na ndji u tie ndu ni mi mbi.
For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:
28 Naki biyi bi he ni mie ni mi tsra
And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:
29 Mi no yi mulki na wa Tie mu a ne.
And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;
30 Bi ri ndi so ni tebru u mulki, bi sun ni koh mu, ndi ta blatre ni lbe tso u Israila.
That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Siman, Siman, mla zren me tie, ibrji a wa inton wa ani yre u na alkama.
And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 Naki ba si bre ni wu, du you suron me du na joku na, inde wu kma ye wu ka tre trre ndindi ma wa ani no mri vayi me gbengblen.
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.
33 Bitrus a hla wu Bachi mi he ni mereu hu hi ni brusuna mba kyu.
Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34 Yesu ka sa ni wu ni hla wu Bitrus, kafi du gba tbu luwa nkpu tra u kpatron ndi wu na toh me na.
And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:
35 Yesu ka hla ni bawu, inton wa mi ton yi hama ni bu ko go ple, ko lagban zah, ibi ka wa kpie hama? U baka trre ndi a'a.
When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?
36 Ama zizan'a, i wa a he ni mbu ka ban ni igople. Ndji wa ana he ni inji ngban na, ka ban klon ma le nd le ri.
But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
37 Naki mi hla yiwu, ikpie wa ba nha nitu mu ani he naki, ba bla you na bi la tre, ikpei wa ba tre ni tumu a he naki.
For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.
38 U ba tre, “Bachi, iyah, ngye inji ngban hari, wa a tre da tsra nu
But they said: Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 Da ba ri la u yalu kle, Yesu a hi na ani tie chachuu hi ni ngbulu Zaitun, se mri koh ma ba hu.
And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
40 Da baka kai niki, waka hla bawu, ta bre Irji don du yi ri ni mi lah tre na.
And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
41 A kaba don da ch'bi, nda kukyu ngbarju nda bre,
And he was withdrawn away from them a stone’s cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,
42 Nda tre, Bachi, inde wu kpa nyime wu ka ban gbarju i rju ni mu.
Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.
43 Se Maleka ni shu ye niwu nda no gbengblen suron.
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.
44 Ahe nimi iyah kpukpo me, a you ni bre, hra ikrji ma ni grji na gble yi.
And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.
45 A lunde ni bre ma, da ye ni mri koh, da ye toh ba basi kruna don ani lo ba suron.
And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 Wa a mye ba a ngye sa bi si kruna? Lunde ndi bre du yina ri ni yah na.
And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.
47 A he ni mi tre, se ga gbugbu ndji ba ye baba Yahuda iri ni mi mri koh ma tso'a, nda ye whewhrre ni Yesu nda hlan vu.
As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.
48 Ni ki Yesu ka tre, Yahuda, wu ban Vren Ndji no ni hlan vu?
And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?
49 U biwa ba krju Yesu you ni tsutsu, ba toh ikpie wa si zren, nda tre, Bachi ki tsen ni inji ngba?
And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?
50 Iri ni mi mri koh ma a chu nji nda yba iton ninkon bi nha be u woh ko ri.
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 U Yesu ka tre, a tsra naki da taba iton nda wakar ni wu.”
But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
52 Yesu tre ni tie ndu ni koh Irji, ni bi gben ni koh Irji baba chiche ndji ba, wa ba you ni koh shishi bi rju na bi ye vu ndji u ybi, ni ba nji ngban ni kpala?
And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?
53 Ni wa mi na he ni yi ni tra Irji, bina vu me na, zizan a nton mbi ni gbengblen u bu.
When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 Ba vu nda nji nda hi, ba nji hi ni koh ba, u Bitrus ka ta hu ni gbugban mu.
And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.
55 Niki baka muh lu ni tsutsu ra, nda ku sun niki wawu mbawu, Bitrus a sun ni tsutsu mba.
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.
56 Sei wa ri a toh a sun ni kpan lu'a, nda you shishi ni wu, nda tre ndji yi ba he mbawu.”
Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light, and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.
57 U Bitrus a kpa tron, nda tre iwa mi na toh na.”
But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.
58 Vi toh fi me yi, u ndji ri ka toh nda tre, wu mewu he ni mi mba. Bitrus tre ndi, “Ana me na.”
And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not.
59 Intonri hi, i ndji ri a kama nda la tre, njanji ndji yi ahe ni wu, a vren Galili.
And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean.
60 Bitrus a tre, ndi mi na toh kpie wa asi tre na, nda asi he ni mi tre u gbah lu tbi.
And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.
61 A kma u Bachi ka yah Bitrus. Se Bitrus ka ri mre ikpie wa Bachi tre'a, se a hla niwu, kafi du gbah du tbi luwa, u kpa tron nkpu tra ndi wu wu na toh me na.
And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62 Da Bitrus rju nda yi u'lo suron.
And Peter going out, wept bitterly.
63 Se ndji bi wa ba troh baba Yesu ba ka zah wu da tsi me.
And the men that held him, mocked him, and struck him.
64 Da baka kawu shishi, nda mye hla tawu a nha wru'u?
And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
65 Ba ka tre trre u nanye, ni meme tre ni Yesu.
And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.
66 Da imble kpan u chiche ndji baka ka bi baba bi toh ndu Irji, baba bi nha lbe se da nji'u hi ni bi tuchu, baba bi ninkon bari.
And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people, and the chief priests and scribes, came together; and they brought him into their council, saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.
67 Da tre hla ni tawu a wuyi wu Almasihu'a” wa a hla ni bawu ko mi hla yiwu, bina kpanyime na,
And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me.
68 Inde mi ye yi, bi na kasa ni muh na.
And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.
69 Aman ni ko shishi, Ivren Indji ni sun ni woh ko ri u gbengblen Irji.
But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
70 Ba ka tre, u u” Vren Irji? Se Yesu ka kasa ni bawu ikpie wa bi tre a me yi.
Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am.
71 Ba tre don ngye ki si wa shaida? Kita ni tu mbu ki woh ni nyu ma.”
And they said: What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.
