Mark 14
1 a don viha duba ti ngan u passover idi mba ngan u bredi wa asa binikoh bi ton du irji baba bi han ibe ba sun diba yib yesu da wuu
It was only two days before the [people] ([celebrated/started to celebrate]) [for one week the] festival [which they called] Passover. During those days they also celebrated the festival of (Unleavened Bread/[eating] bread that had no yeast in it). The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were planning how they could seize Jesus secretly. [They wanted to accuse him in front of the Roman authorities] so that they would execute him.
2 ba tre ana hei nitoh gan nadutsi kanalude ni tsutsu ndi na
But they were saying to one another, “We must not [do it] during the celebration, because, [if we do it then], the people will [be very angry with us and] riot!”
3 da yesu a hei nikoh siman u lo shia basi rhi biri u wa hri a riye niwu da ji kpalaba alabaster u klen ma wa ba you di nard ayar kpalaba da kayen a sur nitu yesu
Jesus was at Bethany [town] in the house of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed from] leprosy. While they were eating, a woman came [to him]. [She was carrying] a stone jar that contained expensive [fragrant] perfume called nard. She opened the jar and then she poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.
4 ndi bari ha hei niki da tifu ni kpaba da tre ai higye kpei wa iwa yi tidu migye
One of the people [who were present] became angry and said to the others, “([It is terrible that she] wasted that perfume!/[Why did she] waste that perfume?) [RHQ]
5 smsl du bs ban tutate a le ru kle wa ani kai deri tra wa ba zo biti ya ba tre a
It could have been sold {[We] could have sold it} for (a huge amount of money/an amount of money for which a person works for a year), and then [the money] could have been given {[we] could have given [the money]} to poor people!” So he rebuked her.
6 yesu ka tre ahi kpei didima ati nimu
But Jesus said, “Stop [scolding] her! She has done to me what I [consider to be] very appropriate/delightful. So (you should not bother her!/why do you bother her?) [RHQ]
7 bihei nibi yaba chachuu wadi ko ni tan biya zoba ama bina hei ni me chachuu na
You will always have poor people among you. So you can help them whenever you want to. But I will not [be here among] you much longer. [So it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me].
8 iwayi ti kpe wa a iya ti a asur turare don chachu rhumu
[It is appropriate that] she has done what she was able to do. [It is as if she knew that I was going to die soon] and has anointed my body for their burying it.
9 misi hla tre jaji niyuu konitsen ba hla tre irji nimi gbugbulu sei ba hla ikpie wadi wayi ti ko ni kogon kuq
I will tell you this: Wherever the good message [about me] is preached {people preach the good message} throughout the world, what she has done will be told {people will tell others what she has done [to me]}, and as a result people will remember her.”
10 sei vre koh ma rhi wa ba you di Yohuda iskarioti ruhu hini bi ton du irji don du vuu noba
Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) went to the chief priests in order to [talk to them about] helping them to seize Jesus. He did that [even though] he was one of the twelve [disciples]
11 da bi toh du irji ba woh da ngri kpukpome niwu da you iyei ba no kle wa sima ni wa koh wa di aru vu yesu noba
When they heard [what he was willing to do for them], they were very happy. They promised that they would give him [a large amount of] money [for doing that. Judas agreed, so they gave him the money]. As a result, he [began] watching for an opportunity (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
12 niyi u mumla u berdi wa ana saana waba nha yi krju ton ngla lah tre ntoh u inga ni sei nisei u mrikohma ba miyei anitse ki hi mla bubu u ri biria?
[Two days later], when they killed the lambs [for the] festival at the beginning of the week when [people ate] bread that had no yeast in it, Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration] in order that you can eat it [with us]?”
13 atohmrikohma hari da hla bawu duba hi mi gbu ndiri hluiri u fo ma bi aka hu hi
So he [chose] two of his disciples [to prepare everything]. He said to them, “Go into [Jerusalem] city. A man will meet you, who will be carrying a large jar full of water. Follow him.
14 ahi ta rhi nikoh bi ka hu idia hla u di la di ukoa malla tre ikoh mu wa mirhi biri baba mrikohmu?
When he enters [a house], say to the man who owns the house, ‘[Our] teacher wants us to prepare [the meal of] the Passover celebration so that he can eat it with us his disciples. (Please show us the room that he [arranged with you about]./Where is the room that he [arranged with you about]?) [RHQ]’
15 anitsro yi kikla mikoh wu koshu waba mlati bikah mla ti ni tawu
He will show you a large room that is on the upper floor [of the house]. It will be furnished and ready [for us to eat a meal in it]. Then prepare the meal there for us.”
16 mrikoh ma ba hi ni mi gbua da ka toh inpie da a tre hei nakima da ti birhi ketarewa
So the [two] disciples left. They went into the city and found [everything] to be just like he had told them. They prepared the [meal for] the Passover [celebration, and then returned to Jesus and the other disciples].
17 da yalu ti wa ji mrikohma tsoh hi
When it was evening, Jesus arrived [at that house] with the twelve [disciples].
18 da ba kru da si rhibiri nitu tabur yesu katre jaji mi si hla niyi wu iri nimi bi nivu me noba
As they were all sitting there [and eating], Jesus said, “Listen carefully to this: One of you will enable my enemies to seize me. Specifically, it is one of you who [will do this in spite of the fact that he] is eating with me [right now]!”
19 bayi ni suron ba da nimiyei ahime?
The disciples became very sad and they said to him one by one, “Surely (it is not I!/I am not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
20 yesu kasa nibawu wa da si you woh ni me ni gbugban
Then he said to them, “It is one of [you] twelve [disciples], the one who is dipping [bread] into the [sauce in the] dish along with me.
21 ivrendi nihi na a han niyuma iya ndikima wadi ani vu yesu noba abi di na grhi ndi kimana
It is certain that [I], the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been {what [the prophets] have} written about me. But there will be terrible [punishment] for the man by whom I will be betrayed {who will (betray me/help my enemies to seize me)}! In fact, it would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
22 bashei ninu rhi biri yesu ban bresdis da ti lulu you nibredia da mere ga niba wu datre wayi hi nma kpamu
While they were eating, he took [a flat loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them and said to them, “This [bread represents] [MET] my body. Take it [and eat it].”
23 a bangbaju datre
Afterwards, he took a cup [that contained wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to them, and then, as they all drank from it,
24 wayi a hu yimu wa mi sur iyieu ni yuwu wa ani kahle nigbubuu baka so wawu bauu
he said to them, “This [wine represents] [MET] my blood, which is about to be shed {which is about to flow from my body} [when my enemies kill me]. With this blood I [will sign] the agreement [that God has made to forgive the sins of] many people.
25 me hla tre jaji mina la somi klo kukru gana sei ivi wa mi so ni mikoh irji
I want you to know this: I will not drink any more wine in this way until the time when I drink it with a new [meaning] when I begin to rule as a king.”
26 bayou sei da rhu hini gbulu olives
After they sang a hymn, they went out toward Olive [Tree] Hill.
27 yesu hla ni bawu wawubi bi joku yada ba han iq mi vu ndiu krhutimaa iq u itima bavra ni kagakaga
[While they were on their way], Jesus said to them, “It has been {[The prophets] have} written [in the Scriptures that God said about me], ‘I will kill the shepherd and his sheep will scatter.’ [Those words will come true. When they are about to capture me], all of you will leave me and run away.
28 bata zume lude in mi hi Galilee guchi niyuu
But after I have been made {[God] has made me} alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
29 Bitrus kahla ru yesu ko ba hi kpamba wawuu ine mina hina
Then Peter said to him, “Perhaps all the [other disciples] will leave you, but not I! I will not [leave you]!”
30 yesu ka hla u nichu luwa du gba du tub tup kpu u kpa tron di u una tohme na in kpu tra
Then Jesus said to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows a second time, you yourself will deny three times [that you know] me!”
31 Bitrus tre ko mi qu bu wu mina tre dimina toh una baka you inveu ni yesu wawuba wu
But Peter replied strongly, “Even if they kill me [as I defend] you, I will never deny [that I know] you!” And all [the other disciples] said the same thing.
32 ba ye ni bubu ri you di Gethsemane yesu ka hla ni mrikoma kuson wayi ime me hi bre
[On the way], Jesus and the disciples came to the place that [people] call Gethsemane. Then he said to [some/eight of] his disciples, “Stay here while I pray!”
33 a banBitrus Yakub u Yohana ni kpama a rimer da ni damu
Then he took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed, and he said to them,
34 ahla bawu isuromu ni lome har na u qu ki mai di ta gbe har hi ni kuqu
“I [SYN] am very sorrowful. [It is as if] I were about to die. [You men] remain here and stay awake!”
35 yesu for zre fime da ku joku ni meme da bre inde aru bie ka wur ton a hle niwawu
He went a bit further and threw himself on the ground. Then he prayed that if it were possible, he would not [have to suffer] [MTY].
36 datre abba ti bu ikpi ba yereyere niwu wuka cu gbaju yi ru ni mu aman ana ti muna ahi wume
He said, “O my Father, [because] you are able to do everything, rescue me so that I do not have to suffer [now] [MTY]! But do not [do] what I want. Instead, [do] what you want!”
37 aka kam ye da yetoh ba basi kruna da miye Bitrus sima bi si kruna? koh niton riri me bi na iya gben na?
Then he returned and found his [disciples] sleeping. He [woke them up and] said, “Simon! ([I am disappointed that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just a short time!/[Why is it that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just one hour?) [RHQ]”
38 gbien di bre don di na joku nimi lah tre na isuron a nyme ama ika a si
[And he said to them], “You want [to do what I say], but you are not strong enough [MTY] [to actually do it]. So keep awake and pray in order that you can resist when [something like this] tempts you!”
39 a la hi da tretre wu mumla gari
Then he went away again and prayed again what he prayed before.
40 da aka kam ye da toh basi kruna na u mumla shishi ba a ron u bana toh kpie wa ba hla wuna
When he returned, he found that they were sleeping again because they were [so] sleepy that they could not keep their eyes open. [Because they were ashamed], they did not know what to say to him [when he awakened them].
41 akma ye kpututra da miye ba bu risi kurnari di ni siri? atsra no toh a yeye to bavu vre ndi you ni woh bi latre
[Then he went and prayed again]. He returned a third time; [and he found them sleeping again]. He [woke] all of [them and] said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] sleeping again!/[Why are you] sleeping again?) [RHQ] [You have slept] enough. The time [for me to suffer] is about to begin. Look! Someone is about to enable sinful men to seize me, the one who came from heaven.
42 lude kinihi to idi wa a vu me ni noba a he weiweire
[So] get up! Let’s go [toward him] Look! Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
43 a sihei nimi tre a u Yahuda iri ni mi a aye ni gbugbu idi ni ba ijin gban nibi toh du irji ni bi han be ni bi nikoh
While he was still speaking, Judas [arrived]. [Even though he was] one of [Jesus’] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A crowd who carried swords and clubs was with him. The [leaders of] the Jewish Council had sent them.
44 indi wa a vu haba a guci tsro ba woh ni wuye Biti toh diwa mi sumbace u wa wu yi bika vu di griwu di hi ba ba bi gadi
[Judas], who was (betraying Jesus/helping Jesus’ enemies to seize him), had [previously] told this crowd, “The man whom I kiss is the one [whom you want. When I kiss him], seize him and lead him away [while you guard him] carefully.”
45 da Yahuda ye ahi ni yesu gbla me da you
So, when Judas arrived, he immediately went to Jesus and said, “My teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on his neck/cheek].
46 di ranni da rhugume ni u indi ba kavu na ki u ri ni ciki mba waa kli niba kia
Then [the crowd] seized Jesus.
47 chu inji gbama da chu vuvu to diri ni mi biwu niko pristoci ba
But one of the [disciples] who was standing nearby drew his short sword. He struck the servant of the high priest with it [to kill him, but he only] cut off his ear.
48 yesu a mieye ba bi ye vu me na diwu yib ni ji gban ni kpe iku
Jesus said to them, “([It is ridiculous that] you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit!/Have you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit [RHQ]?) Day after day I was with you in the Temple [courtyard] teaching [the people] Why did you not seize me then? [But this is happening] in order that [what the prophets have written in] the Scriptures [about me] may be fulfilled {may happen}.”
49 mitahei niyi chachuu dita bla tre irji ni yiu nitra rji bi na vu me na a hei na ki don du tre rji cika
50 duka bi wa ba na hei ni yesu ba tsutsu da kaa don niu ba tsutsu hi kpaba
All [the disciples at once] left him and ran away.
51 vivren nze ri wa alo vi gbajanklo u kaakpa megen a sia hu e mri nzeba ba yo wo vuu
At that time, (a young man/I) was following Jesus. He/[I was] wearing only a linen cloth around his/my body. The crowd seized him/me.
52 a ka gbanjanklo chuwo ni bawu nda tsutsu ru ni ngbre
But, [as he/I pulled away from them], he/I left behind the linen cloth [in their hands], and then he/I ran away naked.
53 niki ba nki yesu hini ninko prist nikima ba kikle prists ba ni chiche mba bi nha ba zontu kii nha niwu
The men [who had seized] Jesus led him away to [the house where] the supreme priest [lived]. All of the Jewish Council were gathering [there].
54 e Bitrus a nha huba kari ni tra nkon wu nikon prist a ndaka kuson ni ba mriko nduba nda sia mu kpama ni lu
Peter followed Jesus at a distance. He went into the courtyard [of the house] where the supreme priest [lived], and sat there with the men who guarded [the house of the supreme priest]. He was warming himself beside a fire.
55 nikon prist baba bison nda bla tre ni trankon a ba wa biwa ba njitre kpewa bato nitu yesu ni duba wuu nda wa hama
The chief priests and all the rest of the Jewish council [had already] tried to find people who would tell lies about Jesus [in order that they could convince the Roman authorities] to execute him. But they did not succeed,
56 gbugbu mbawu ba sia blatre che nituma e nyu bitre ba ti nkankan ndana hu nyu ri na
because, although many people spoke lies about him, they contradicted each other.
57 niki bari ba la lu kri nda bla tre che nituma ndi
[Finally], some stood up and accused him falsely by saying,
58 ki wowu a sia bla ndi wawu ni zii hekali wa ba me ni wondi nda ni mi vi tra la me ri hama ni tindu ni wondi
“We heard him when he said, ‘I will destroy this Temple that was built by men, and then within three days I will build another temple (without help from anyone else/that human hands will not build).’”
59 nikima ngame bi tre ba nyumba ana hu nkon riri na
But, what [some of] these men said also did not agree with [what others of them said].
60 ninkon prist a lu kri nimimba nda yesu ndi wuna he ni kpe wu sa bawu na? ni tutre wa bi nu shaida biyi basi bla nitume a?
Then the supreme priest [himself] stood up in front of them and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] all the things that they are saying in order to accuse you?”
61 nikima a kri gbangbi ndana sa na ninkon prist a la myeu ndi wuyi wu kristi vren u wa ba ti lulu zanzan niwua?
But Jesus was silent and did not reply [DOU]. Then the supreme priest [tried again]. He asked him, “Are you the Messiah? [Do you say that you are] (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
62 yesu a trendi ahi me ngame bi to vreninji si son ni wo korhi u gbengble nda si ye nimi klalu wu shulu
Jesus said, “I am. Furthermore, you will see me, the one who came from heaven, [ruling] beside God, who is completely powerful. [You will also see me] coming down through the clouds in the sky!”
63 niki ninkon prist a yba nklon kpama nda tre ndi kila wa saidu u ngye gari?
[In response to Jesus’ words], the supreme priest tore his outer garment. [That was their custom to show that he was shocked that Jesus had said that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “We certainly do not [RHQ] need any [more] people who will testify [against this man],
64 bi wo tre wu kpande irji timeme kimbi bi to ni he? wawumba ba nyme ndi latrema a tsra du ba wuu
[because] you have heard what he said against God! [He claimed to be equal with God] Therefore, what have you decided?” They all said that Jesus was guilty and deserved (to be executed/that they should kill him).
65 bari ba lu si junte ni vra nituma nda ni ka shishima ndani tsiwu nda hlawu ndi du nran tre e mrikondumba ba tsi ni ndawomba
Then some of them began spitting on Jesus. They put a blindfold on him, and then they began striking him and saying to him, “[If you are] a prophet, tell us [who hit you]!” And those who were guarding Jesus struck him with their hands.
66 niwa Bitrus a son ni meme ni ra koa ninrenwa ri wu tindu niko ninkon prist
While Peter was outside in the courtyard [of the supreme priest’s house], one of the girls who worked for the supreme priest came [near him].
67 a to Bitrus si son si si zu isi ni yesu u Nazarat
When she saw Peter warming himself [beside the fire], she looked at him [closely]. Then she said, “You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth [town]!”
68 a kpa tre ndi mina to na nina to tu kpewa wu tre a na wa a rhu hi ni kalhan e igbaa a tbu
But he denied it by saying, “I do not know or understand [DOU] what you are talking about!” Then he went away [from there] to the gate [of the courtyard].
69 vrenwa wu ndu ri a too ngari nda lu si bla ni biwa ba ki whi niki ndi iwayi hi rimba
[The] servant girl saw him there and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man is one of [those who have been with that man they arrested].”
70 a la kpa tron ngari nton fiime ka huki biwa ba ki nhan niki ba la tre ni Bitrus ndi ahi janji wu ri mba nitu wu ndi u Galilee e lpn nyu me kpanyeme nikima
But he denied it again. After a little while, one of those who were standing there said to Peter again, “[The way you speak shows that] you also are from Galilee [district]. So it is certain that you are one of those [who accompanied Jesus!]”
71 niki a lusi yoban ndani shirhi ni kpama ndi mina to iguyi wa bisi tre nituma na
But he began to exclaim, “I do not know the man that you are talking about! Because God knows that I am speaking truthfully, may he punish me [if I am lying]!”
72 igba a la tbu nkpu u ha rhi du igba tbu nkpu ha wu shirhi kpatron ni me nkpu tra niwa a rhimren ni kima a ybo yi
Immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him [before], “Before the rooster crows a second time, you will deny three times [that you know me.” When he realized that he had denied it three times], he started crying.
