Matiyu 26
1 Niwa Yesu a tre ni tu kpyi biyi kle wawuua, a hla ni mrli koh ma ba,
AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 Bi toh ndi ivi ha bati vu y'ba u vi u gan Rugran niye u ba vu Ivren Ndji nno ba kpan ni tu gran nhma kukron a”
Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Ba firist bi ninkon ba ni bi ninkon ndji ba, ba shubi ni koh chu firist wa ba yo wu ndi Kaifas.
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 Ba sronmu ni yay'bi ni nkon wa ba vu yesu wuu'a.
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5 U ba tre ndi, “Ana ni nton gan Rugran na ni ndu tsi na ka wlu na”
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 Ni nton wa Yesu he ni Betani ni koh Sima u kpurua,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a si rli birli, u wari ka rihi ni kpala ba nye u tie le nda kasru ni tuma.
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 U wa mrli koh ma ba toh'a, ba vra nfu nda tre, “Ani tu ngye mba a nji nye yi si tie meme.
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 Ba ndi na le niwu nda kpa gbugbu nkle nno bi ya”.
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 U Yesu wa a toh mre mba a tre ni ba “Ni tu ngye bi yan wayi kpa? E a tie kpye ndindima ni mu.
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 Bizi he ni bi ya cacuwu u me bina zi he ni me na.
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 Wa a sru nyeyi ni kpamila a tie u rjumu.
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Njanjimu mi hla yiwu ni wrji wa ba d'bu itre zizi yi'a ni ngbungblua wawuu ba hla kpye wa iwa tie nda taka ma”
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 U ri nimi tso ba wa ba yowu ndi Yahuda Iskaroti kayi ni bi ninkon firist ba
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 nda tre, “Bi ne ngye mindi vuu nno yi?” Ba tsra shekels u dran se'tra nnowu.
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 Rji ni nton kima azi wa nkon wa ani vu nno ba'
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Ni vi u mumla u gan rugran mrli koh ba ba' yeni Yesu nda tre, “Ni mameyi mba u son ki mla rli u gan rugran tie?”
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 A hla “Hi ni ndji ri ni mi gbu ndi hla wu, mala tre “Inton tie whiewhiere. Mi tie gan rugran ni koh me ni mrli koh mu”.
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 Mrli koh ba ba' tie towa Yesu a hla bawu'a nda mla rli Rugran tie.
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Wa yalu tie a, a son nda rli ni mrli koh ma tso'a.
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21 Wa ba ki rli'a, a tre “Njanjimu me hla ni yi wu iri mbi ni le'nime”
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Ba'ka yi ni sron, nda ni mye wuni yiyri, “Ani tie bre meyi ba' Baci?”
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23 A saa “Wawu wa ayo woma si rli ni me ni kongo'a ahi wawuu yi ni le ni me.
And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 Ivren Ndji ni hi towa ba nha ni tuma. Iya ndji wani woma ba le ni Vren Ndji'a! A ndi na bi ndu bana ngrji wuna”
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Yahuda, wa ani le ni wu'a tre, “A hi me?” A hla niwu, “U hla ki me”.
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26 Ba si rli, Yesu ka ban bredi nda tie lulu nda mrewu. Aka nno mrli koh ba nda tre ka tan. Iwayi hi kpamu”
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 A ban kofi'a nda ngri nda ko nno ba nda tre, so wawu mbi wu.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 Iwayi hi yimu u shirji wa ba kau hlega ndu ba wru latre gbugbu ndji hle.
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 Mi hla yiwu mina la'so ma (inabi) yi ngana se viwa mi sowu sisa niyi ni ngbuchu u tie mu”
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
30 W ba yo se'a ba rju hi ni ngblu u ze tun.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31 U Yesu hla bawu, “Wawu mbi wu bi joku ni tu mu ni cuyi, niwa ba nha 'Mi wru wa ani nji gran ba, u nt'ma bi gran ba shangblan.
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
32 U mi ta ye wlunde mi hi Galili guci yiwu”
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 U Bitru hla wu “U bata ni joku wawumba wu ni tie me, ime de mi tie bre joku”
Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Yesu hla wu, “Njanjimu mi hla wu, ni mi cuyi u kpatron tie kputra ndi wu toh me rli u gba ka tubu.
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Bitru a hla ni wu, “Ani ta wa mi khwu ni wu'a mi na kpau tron” Ba mbru mrli koh ba ba tre kpye rirji me.
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Ni nton kima, Yesu ahi bi ni ba ni wrji wa ba yowu ndi Getsemani nda hla ni mrli koh maa “Kuson wa u me mi ni wa mu' ndi tie aduwa”
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 A nji Bitru ni mrli nlon Zabadi harli niwu nda si yi ni sron.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 A hla bawu, “Idri mu ni lome kpukpo me to mi khwu. Ki wa ndi gben ni me”
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 A c'bi hi tsame, nda ku ni shishi nda tie aduwa. A tre, “Itie mu ani ta tie tu, ndu kofi yi y'ba me yo. Nakima ana mre muna nduhi mre me.
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 A ye ni mrli koh ba nda toh basi kruna, nda hla ni Bitru, “A ngye, bina gben ni me u wru nton ri me na?
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Gben ndi tie aduwa ndu yi na joku ni tsra na Isron'a ni son u kpa tie whie me”
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 A hi kpama kpu uha nda tie aduwa. a tre, “Itie mu iwa ni ta na y'ba hi na ndi gbigbi mi so wu mre me'a ka tie”
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 A ye ngarli nda toh basi kruna, u shishi mba ba ron.
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 Ala ka ba don ngarli nda hi ka tie aduwa inkpu u tra nda la tre to wa a tre'a.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 U Yesu a ye ni mrli koh ba nda tre ni bawu, “B i rli kruna, ndi ki kpami mengyen? To inton tie whiewhiere u ba le ni Vren Ndji ni wo bi latre.
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Wlu, kie ndi hi. To, waa ani le' ni me'a ahe whiewhiere ni me”
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47 A he si tre, Yahuda iri nimi tsoba kaye Ijbu ndji ba hu rji ni ba'cu firist ni bininkon u ndjiba. Ba nji ba njingban ni ba kpala (ngbonhon).
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Indji wa ni le ni Yesu'a a tsro ba ngban nda hla “Indji wa me nha gboble ni wu'a, a wawuyi” Bika vuu.
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49 A gbla hi ni Yesu nda tre “Mi ci, mala!” nda nha gboble ni wu.
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 Yesu a hla niwu “Kpanmu, tie kpye wa u ye tie'a” U ba ye sawo mba ni tu Yesu nda vuu.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 U ri wa ana he ni Yesu'a ka n'ma woma rju, nda cu inji ngban nda sren ton vrenkoh u chu firist cuu taga.
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
52 U Yesu hla wu, “Ka njingban me yo ni hra ma, e bi wa ba nzu ngban ani nji ngban ba khwu.
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Ka u ya mina toh yo tie mu ndu ton malaiku zan j'bu tso.
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 U ba tie ni he ndu tre u embe ba ndu tsra din a gbigbi ndu wa tie toyi.
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 Ni nton yi Yesu a hla ni j'bu ndji ba “Bi ye vu me ni nji ngban ni ngbonhon na mi ndji y'bi? cacuwu mi son ndi tsro ni hekali u bi na vu me na.
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 Ikpyi bayi wawuu ba tie ndu nha bi Totsu'a ye tsra” Nikima, mrli koh ba ba'ka tsutsu kau don.
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 Biwa ba vu Yesu'a ba njiwu hi ni kaifas ninkon firist, u bi nha ni bi ninkon ba kia.
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 U Bitru kasi hu gbugbanmu hi ni koh ninkon u firist ba. A ri hi mi nda ka kuson ni bi gbyen ba nda ikpye'a ba ti'a.
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Ninkon u firist ba ni (majalisa) basi wa kpye u ce wa ba hla ni tu Yesu nda vu wuu.
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60 Bana vu ni kpyeri na, ko ni wa indji gbugbuwu ba rju nda tie ce. U indji harli bari ba rju
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 nda tre, “Indji yi tre mi toh zi hekali Rji yi ndi mewu ni vi tra”
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 Ninkon u firist ba ka wlunde nda tre ni wu, “U na he kpye wa u saa na? Ahi ngye mba basi tre ni tu me?”
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
63 U Yesu ka krli ni ngbangbi. Injii ninkon u firist a tre, “mi yo wu ni nde Rji u (sisren) hla ni tawu ka wuyi u Kristi Ivren Rji.”
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Yesu saa ni wu, “U hla kime ye. U mi hla wu, rji zizanyi u toh Vren Ndji a son ni wo rli u ngbengblen nasi ye ni tu kpa u shulu”
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 Ninton kima injii ninkon u firist a y'ba ba nklon ma nda tre, “A tre latre!” u kie wa ngye ngarli? Tomba zizanyi kie wo latre'a.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 Ahi ngye imre mbi? Ba saa nda tre “A mla u khwu”
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Ninton kima, baka sru nten sruu ni shishi nda tsiwu nda kpan wu ni kprji wo mba,
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 nda tre, hla tsu na tawu, uwu Kristi. Ahi nha mba Kpanwu?”
Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
69 Bitru a son ni korah bubu u bla tre a, u vrenwa ri, igran kaye ni wu nda tre, “Iwu ngame u he ni Yesu ni Galili”.
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70 A kpatron ni shishi mba wawuu nda tre, “mina toh kpye wa u si tr'a na”
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 Niwa a rju hi ni nyu nkontra, ivren wa ri, igran a toh nda tre ni wa ba he ni kima, “Iguyi ana he ni Yesu u Nazaret”.
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 Wa'ka' kpatron nikima ngarli, nda shirji tia, a tre, “Mina toh Indji mba na!”
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 Inton'a y'ba tsame u waa ba klri-krli a baka ye ni Bitru nda hla niwu, “cucu uri mba ngame, ilme a mba nhrawu.
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Wa a ri la'nyu nda ni shirji nda ni tre, “Mina toh Indji mba na” U gba a ti gbla tubu.
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 Bitru ka taka itre wa Yesu a hlaa, “U tie san mu ikpu tra rli u'gba ka tubu” A rju hi ni kahlan nda kayoi kpukpo me”
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
