Marko 14
1 Tsopano panali patatsala masiku awiri okha kuti tsiku la Paska ndi Phwando la Buledi wopanda yisiti lifike, ndipo akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo ankafunafuna mpata woti amugwire Yesu ndi kumupha.
It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the High Priests and Scribes were bent on finding how to seize Him by stratagem and put Him to death.
2 Iwo anati, “Koma osati nthawi yaphwando, chifukwa anthu angachite chiwawa.”
But they said, "Not on the Festival-day, for fear there should be a riot among the people."
3 Pamene Iye anali mʼBetaniya, atakhala pa tebulo akudya mʼnyumba ya munthu wodziwika kuti Simoni wakhate, anabwera mayi ndi botolo la mafuta onunkhira amtengo wapamwamba opangidwa ndi nadi. Anaphwanya botololo nakhuthula mafutawo pa mutu wa Yesu.
Now when He was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while He was at table, there came a woman with a jar of pure, sweet-scented ointment very costly: she broke the jar and poured the ointment over His head.
4 Ena mwa iwo amene analipo, anakwiya nati kwa wina ndi mnzake, “Chifukwa chiyani akuwononga mafuta onunkhirawa?
But there were some who said indignantly among themselves, "Why has the ointment been thus wasted?
5 Akanatheka kugulitsidwa ndi ndalama zambiri zoposa malipiro a pa chaka ndipo ndalamazo ndi kupatsa osauka.” Ndipo anamudzudzula iye mwaukali.
For that ointment might have been sold for fifteen pounds or more, and the money have been given to the poor." And they were exceedingly angry with her.
6 Yesu anati, “Musiyeni, chifukwa chiyani mukumuvutitsa? Wandichitira Ine chinthu chabwino.
But Jesus said, "Leave her alone: why are you troubling her? She has done a most gracious act towards me.
7 Anthu osauka mudzakhala nawo nthawi zonse, ndipo mukhoza kuwathandiza nthawi iliyonse mungafune. Koma simudzakhala ndi Ine nthawi zonse.
For you always have the poor among you, and whenever you choose you can do acts of kindness to them; but me you have not always.
8 Wachita zimene akanatha. Wathira mafuta onunkhira pa thupi langa nthawi isanakwane kukonzekera kuyikidwa kwanga mʼmanda.
What she could she did: she has perfumed my body in preparation for my burial.
9 Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti kulikonse kumene Uthenga Wabwino udzalalikidwa pa dziko lonse, zimene wachitazi zidzanenedwa pomukumbukira iye.”
And I solemnly tell you that wherever in the whole world the Good News shall be proclaimed, this which she has done shall also be told in remembrance of her."
10 Kenaka Yudasi Isikarioti, mmodzi mwa khumi ndi awiriwo, anapita kwa akulu a ansembe kuti akamupereke Yesu.
But Judas Iscariot, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, went to the High Priests to betray Jesus to them.
11 Iwo anakondwa pakumva zimenezi ndipo analonjeza kumupatsa iye ndalama. Ndipo ankadikira mpata wabwino woti amupereke.
They gladly listened to his proposal, and promised to give him a sum of money. So he looked out for an opportunity to betray Him.
12 Pa tsiku loyamba la Phwando la Buledi wopanda yisiti, nthawi imene mwa mwambo inali ya kupha mwana wankhosa wa Paska, ophunzira a Yesu anafunsa Iye kuti, “Mufuna tipite kuti kumene tikakonzekere kuti mukadyere Paska?”
On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread--the day for killing the Passover lamb--His disciples asked Him, "Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
13 Pamenepo anatumiza awiri mwa ophunzira ake, nawawuza kuti, “Pitani mu mzinda, ndipo mukakumana ndi mwamuna wonyamula mtsuko wa madzi. Kamutsatireni iye.
So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him,
14 Kawuzeni mwini nyumba imene iye akalowemo kuti, ‘Aphunzitsi akufunsa: kodi chili kuti chipinda changa cha alendo, kumene ndidyere Paska ndi ophunzira anga?’
and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, 'The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
15 Iye adzakuonetsani chipinda chachikulu chapamwamba, chokhala kale ndi zonse ndi chokonzedwa kale. Katikonzereni ife Paska kumeneko.”
Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us."
16 Ophunzirawo anachoka, napita mu mzindawo ndipo anakapeza zinthu monga mmene Yesu anawawuzira. Choncho anakakonza Paska.
So the disciples went out and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
17 Ndipo kutada Yesu anafika ndi khumi ndi awiriwo.
When it was evening, He came with the Twelve.
18 Pamene ankadya pa tebulo Iye anati, “Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti mmodzi wa inu adzandipereka, mmodzi amene akudya ndi Ine.”
And while they were at table Jesus said, "I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me--one who is eating with me."
19 Iwo anamva chisoni, ndipo mmodzi ndi mmodzi anati kwa Iye, “Kodi ndine?”
They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, "Not I, is it?"
20 Iye anayankha kuti, “Ndi mmodzi mwa khumi ndi awirinu, amene akusunsa buledi mʼmbale pamodzi ndi Ine.
"It is one of the Twelve," He replied; "he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me.
21 Mwana wa Munthu adzapita monga momwe zinalembedwera za Iye. Koma tsoka kwa munthu amene adzapereka Mwana wa Munthu! Kukanakhala bwino kwa iye akanapanda kubadwa.”
For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born."
22 Pamene ankadya, Yesu anatenga buledi, nayamika ndipo anamunyema nagawira ophunzira ake nanena kuti, “Tengani, ili ndi thupi langa.”
Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it is my body."
23 Kenaka anatenga chikho, nayamika nachipereka kwa iwo ndipo onse anamweramo.
Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it.
24 Iye anawawuza kuti, “Awa ndi magazi anga a pangano amene akhetsedwa chifukwa cha ambiri.
"This is my blood," He said, "which is to be poured out on behalf of many--the blood which makes the Covenant sure.
25 Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti sindidzamwanso kuchokera ku chipatso cha mphesa mpaka tsikulo pamene ndidzamwa chatsopano mu ufumu wa Mulungu.”
I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God."
26 Atayimba nyimbo, anapita ku phiri la Olivi.
After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Yesu anati, “Nonse mudzandithawa, pakuti kwalembedwa: “‘Kantha Mʼbusa, ndipo nkhosa zidzabalalika.’
Then said Jesus to them, "All of you are about to stumble and fall, for it is written, 'I will strike down the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered in all directions.'
28 Koma ndikadzauka, ndidzatsogola kupita ku Galileya.”
But after I have risen to life again I will go before you into Galilee."
29 Petro anati, “Ngakhale onse adzakuthaweni, ine sindidzatero.”
"All may stumble and fall," said Peter, "yet I never will."
30 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zoona ndikukuwuza kuti lero lino, usiku uno, tambala asanalire kawiri, iweyo udzandikana katatu.”
"I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that to-day--this night--before the cock crows twice, you yourself will three times disown me."
31 Koma Petro ananenetsa kuti, “Ngakhale kutakhala kufa nanu, ine sindidzakukanani.” Ndipo ena onse ananena chimodzimodzi.
"Even if I must die with you," declared Peter again and again, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested also all the disciples.
32 Ndipo anapita ku malo otchedwa Getsemani, ndipo Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Khalani pano pamene Ine ndi kupemphera.”
So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."
33 Iye anatenga Petro, Yakobo ndi Yohane, ndipo anayamba kumva chisoni kwambiri ndi kuvutika mu mtima.
Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be full of terror and distress,
34 Iye anawawuza kuti, “Moyo wanga wagwidwa ndi chisoni chofa nacho. Khalani pano ndipo musagone.”
and He said to them, "My heart is oppressed with anguish to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake."
35 Atapita patsogolo pangʼono, anagwa pansi ndi kupemphera kuti ngati ndi kotheka oralo limupitirire.
Going forward a short distance He threw Himself upon His face and prayed repeatedly that, if it was possible, He might be spared that time of agony;
36 Iye anati, “Abba, Atate, zinthu zonse ndi zotheka ndi Inu. Chotsereni chikhochi. Komabe chitani zimene Inu mukufuna, osati zimene Ine ndikufuna.”
and He said, "Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest."
37 Kenaka anabwerera kwa ophunzira ake ndipo anawapeza akugona, Iye anati kwa Petro, “Simoni, kodi uli mtulo? Kodi simukanatha kukhala maso kwa ora limodzi?
Then He came and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Had you not strength to keep awake a single hour?
38 Khalani tcheru ndi kupemphera kuti musalowe mʼmayesero. Mzimu ukufuna, koma thupi ndi lofowoka.”
Be wakeful, all of you, and keep on praying, that you may not come into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail."
39 Kenakanso anachoka ndi kukapemphera chimodzimodzi.
He again went away and prayed, using the very same words.
40 Iye atabwerera, anawapezanso akugona, chifukwa mʼmaso mwawo munadzaza tulo. Iwo sanadziwe choti anene kwa Iye.
When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him.
41 Atabweranso kachitatu, anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukugonabe ndi kupumula? Pakwana! Nthawi yafika. Taonani, Mwana wa Munthu akuperekedwa mʼmanja mwa anthu ochimwa.
A third time He came, and then He said, "Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men.
42 Nyamukani! Tiyeni tizipita! Uyu wondipereka Ine wafika!”
Rouse yourselves, let us be going: my betrayer is close at hand."
43 Iye akuyankhulabe, Yudasi, mmodzi mwa khumi ndi awiriwo, anatulukira. Anali ndi gulu la anthu litanyamula malupanga ndi zibonga, otumidwa ndi akulu a ansembe, aphunzitsi amalamulo, ndi akuluakulu.
Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came and with him a crowd of men armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the High Priests and Scribes and Elders.
44 Tsopano womupereka anapangana chizindikiro ndi iwo kuti: “Amene ndikapsompsone ndi iyeyo; mukamugwire ndi kumutenga ali womangidwa.”
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. "The one I kiss," he said, "is the man: lay hold of him, and take him safely away."
45 Atapita kwa Yesu nthawi yomweyo, Yudasi anati, “Aphunzitsi,” ndipo anapsompsona.
So he came, and going straight to Jesus he said, "Rabbi!" and kissed Him with seeming affection;
46 Anthu anamugwira Yesu ndi kumumanga.
whereupon they laid hands on Him and held Him firmly.
47 Kenaka mmodzi wa iwo amene anayima pafupipo anatulutsa lupanga lake nakhapa wantchito wa wamkulu wa ansembe, nʼkudula khutu lake.
But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck a blow at the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
48 Yesu anati, “Kodi Ine ndikutsogolera gulu lowukira, kuti mubwera ndi malupanga ndi zibonga kudzandigwira?
"Have you come out," said Jesus, "with swords and cudgels to arrest me, as if you had to fight with a robber?
49 Tsiku ndi tsiku ndinali ndi inu, kuphunzitsa mʼmabwalo a Nyumba ya Mulungu, koma inu simunandigwire. Koma malemba ayenera kukwaniritsidwa.”
Day after day I used to be among you in the Temple teaching, and you never seized me. But this is happening in order that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.'
50 Pamenepo ophunzira ake onse anathawa namusiya yekha.
Then His friends all forsook Him and fled.
51 Mnyamata wamngʼono amene anangofundira nsalu yokha, wopanda chovala ankamutsatira Yesu. Atamugwira,
One youth indeed did follow Him, wearing only a linen cloth round his bare body. Of him they laid hold,
52 anathawa wamaliseche kusiya nsalu yake mʼmbuyo.
but he left the linen cloth in their hands and fled without it.
53 Anamutengera Yesu kwa mkulu wa ansembe, ndipo akulu a ansembe, akuluakulu ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo anasonkhana pamodzi.
So they led Jesus away to the High Priest, and with him there assembled all the High Priests, Elders, and Scribes.
54 Petro anamutsatira ali patali, mpaka ku bwalo la mkulu wa ansembe. Kumeneko anakhala pansi ndi alonda namawotha moto.
Peter followed Jesus at a distance, as far as the outer court of the High Priest's palace. But there he remained sitting among the officers, and warming himself by the fire.
55 Akulu a ansembe ndi onse olamulira a Ayuda ankafunafuna umboni womutsutsa Yesu kuti amuphe, koma sanapeze wina uliwonse.
Meanwhile the High Priests and the entire Sanhedrin were endeavouring to get evidence against Jesus in order to put Him to death, but could find none;
56 Ambiri anamunenera Iye maumboni abodza, koma maumboni awo sanagwirizane.
for though many gave false testimony against Him, their statements did not tally.
57 Kenaka ena anayimirira namunenera umboni wonama womutsutsa Iye kunena kuti,
Then some came forward as witnesses and falsely declared,
58 “Tamumva akunena kuti, ‘Ndidzawononga Nyumba ya Mulungu iyi yopangidwa ndi anthu ndipo mʼmasiku atatu ndidzamanga ina, osati yopangidwa ndi munthu.’”
"We have heard him say, 'I will pull down this Sanctuary built by human hands, and three days afterwards I will erect another built without hands.'"
59 Ngakhale iwonso umboni wawo sunagwirizane.
But not even in this shape was their testimony consistent.
60 Kenaka mkulu wa ansembe anayimirira pakati pawo namufunsa Yesu kuti, “Kodi suyankha? Kodi umboni uwu ndi wotani umene anthu akukuchitira?”
At last the High Priest stood up, and advancing into the midst of them all, asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is the meaning of all this that these witnesses allege against you?"
61 Koma Yesu anakhala chete ndipo sanayankhe. Mkulu wa ansembe anabwereza kumufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi ndiwe Khristu Mwana wa Wodalitsikayo?”
But He remained silent, and gave no reply. A second time the High Priest questioned Him. "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" he said.
62 Yesu anati, “Ndine, ndipo mudzaona Mwana wa Munthu atakhala kudzanja lamanja la Wamphamvuzonse ndipo akubwera mʼmitambo ya kumwamba.”
"I am," replied Jesus, "and you and others will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the divine Power, and coming amid the clouds of the sky."
63 Mkulu wa ansembe anangʼamba zovala zaunsembe zake. Iye anafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani tikufuna mboni zinanso?
Rending his garments the High Priest exclaimed, "What need have we of witnesses after that?
64 Mwamva mwanowo. Muganiza chiyani?” Onse anavomereza kuti ndi woyenera imfa.
You all heard his impious words. What is your judgement?" Then with one voice they condemned Him as deserving of death.
65 Kenaka ena anayamba kumulavulira malovu; anamumanga mʼmaso, namumenya ndi zibakera ndipo anati, “Nenera!” Ndipo asilikali anamutenga namumenya.
Thereupon some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, while striking Him with their fists and crying, "Prove that you are a prophet." The officers too struck Him with open hands as they took Him in charge.
66 Petro ali chakumunsi kwa bwalo la milandu, mmodzi wa atsikana a ntchito a mkulu wa ansembe anabwera.
Now while Peter was below in the quadrangle, one of the High Priest's maidservants came,
67 Ataona Petro akuwotha moto, anamuyangʼanitsitsa. Iye anati, “Iwenso unali pamodzi ndi Mnazareti, Yesu.”
and seeing Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Nazarene."
68 Koma iye anakana nati, “Sindikudziwa kapena kumvetsetsa zimene ukuyankhula.” Ndipo anachoka napita ku chipata.
But he denied it, and said, "I don't know--I don't understand--What do you mean?" And then he went out into the outer court. Just then a cock crowed.
69 Pamene mtsikana wantchitoyo anamuona iye, anatinso kwa iwo amene anayimirira pomwepo, “Munthu uyu ndi mmodzi mwa iwo.”
Again the maidservant saw him, and again began to say to the people standing by, "He is one of them."
70 Anakananso kachiwiri. Patapita kanthawi pangʼono, amene anayimirira pafupi anati kwa Petro, “Zoonadi ndiwe mmodzi wa iwo, pakuti ndiwe mu Galileya.”
A second time he repeatedly denied it. Soon afterwards the bystanders again accused Peter, saying, "You are surely one of them, for you too are a Galilaean."
71 Iye anayamba kudzitemberera, nalumbira kuti, “Sindimudziwa munthu ameneyu.”
But he broke out into curses and oaths, declaring, "I know nothing of the man you are talking about."
72 Nthawi yomweyo tambala analira kachiwiri. Pamenepo Petro anakumbukira mawu amene Yesu ananena anamuwuza kuti, “Tambala asanalire kawiri, iwe udzandikana katatu.” Ndipo iye anasweka mtima nayamba kulira.
No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed for the second time, and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, "Before the cock crows twice, you will three times disown me." And as he thought of it, he wept aloud.
