Mateyu 27
1 Mmamawa, akulu a ansembe onse ndi akuluakulu anavomerezana kuti aphe Yesu.
When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;
2 Anamumanga, napita naye kukamupereka kwa bwanamkubwa Pilato.
and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor.
3 Yudasi, amene anamupereka Iye, ataona kuti Yesu waweruzidwa kuti akaphedwe, anatsutsika mu mtima mwake nakabweza ndalama zamasiliva makumi atatu zija kwa akulu a ansembe ndi kwa akuluakulu.
Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High Priests and Elders
4 Iye anati, “Ndachimwa pakuti ndapereka munthu wosalakwa.” Iwo anayankha nati, “Ife tilibe nazo kanthu izo ndi zako.”
and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business."
5 Pamenepo Yudasi anaponya ndalamazo mʼNyumba ya Mulungu nachoka. Kenaka anapita nakadzimangirira.
Flinging the shekels into the Sanctuary he left the place, and went and hanged himself.
6 Akulu a ansembe anatola ndalamazo nati, “Sikololedwa ndi lamulo kuti ndalamazi tiziyike mosungira chuma cha Mulungu, popeza ndi ndalama za magazi.”
When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."
7 Choncho anagwirizana kuti ndalamazo azigwiritse ntchito pogulira munda wa wowumba mbiya kuti ukhale manda alendo.
So after consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;
8 Ndi chifukwa chake umatchedwa munda wamagazi mpaka lero lino.
for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of 'the Field of Blood.'
9 Pamenepo zimene anayankhula mneneri Yeremiya zinakwaniritsidwa kuti, “Anatenga ndalama zamasiliva makumi atatu mtengo umene anamuyikira Iye anthu a Israeli.
Then were fulfilled the words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, "And I took the thirty shekels, the price of the prized one on whom Israelites had set a price,
10 Ndipo anazigwiritsa ntchito kugula munda wa wowumba mbiya monga mmene Ambuye anandilamulira ine.”
and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
11 Pa nthawi yomweyo Yesu anayimirira pamaso pa bwanamkubwa ndipo bwanamkubwayo anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi ndiwe Mfumu ya Ayuda?” Koma Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mwanena ndinu.”
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.
12 Pamene akulu a ansembe ndi akuluakulu ankamuneneza, sanayankhe kanthu.
When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.
13 Kenaka Pilato anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi sukumva zinthu zimene akukunenerazi?”
"Do you not hear," asked Pilate, "what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?"
14 Koma Yesu sanayankhe ngakhale mawu amodzi mpaka bwanamkubwa anadabwa kwambiri.
But He made no reply to a single accusation, so that the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 Pa nthawiyi chinali chizolowezi cha bwanamkubwa kuti pachikondwerero cha Paska amamasula wamʼndende wosankhidwa ndi anthu.
"Now it was the Governor's custom at the Festival to release some one prisoner, whomsoever the populace desired;
16 Pa nthawiyo anali ndi wamʼndende woyipa kwambiri dzina lake Baraba.
and at this time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Gulu la anthu litasonkhana, Pilato anawafunsa kuti, “Ndi ndani amene mufuna kuti ndikumasulireni; Baraba kapena Yesu wotchedwa Khristu?”
So when they were now assembled Pilate appealed to them. "Whom shall I release to you," he said, "Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"
18 Pakuti anadziwa kuti anamupereka Yesu chifukwa cha kaduka.
For he knew that it was from envious hatred that Jesus had been brought before him.
19 Pamene Pilato anakhala pa mpando woweruza, mkazi wake anamutumizira uthenga uwu, “Musachite kanthu ndi munthuyo, ndi wosalakwa pakuti ndavutika kwambiri lero mʼmaloto chifukwa cha munthuyo.”
While he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. "Have nothing to do with that innocent man," she said, "for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through him."
20 Koma akulu a ansembe ndi akuluakulu ananyengerera gulu la anthu kuti apemphe Baraba ndi kuti Yesu aphedwe.
The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.
21 Bwanamkubwayo anafunsa kuti, “Ndi ndani mwa awiriwa amene mufuna ine ndikumasulireni?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Baraba.”
So when the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "Barabbas!"
22 Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Nanga ndichite chiyani ndi Yesu wotchedwa Khristu?” Onse anayankha kuti “Mpachikeni!”
"What then," said Pilate, "shall I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" With one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"
23 Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani? Wachita choyipa chotani?” Koma anachita phokoso nafuwula kwambiri kuti, “Mpachikeni!”
"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "Let him be crucified!"
24 Pilato ataona kuti samaphulapo kanthu, koma mʼmalo mwake chiwawa chimayambika, anatenga madzi nasamba mʼmanja mwake pamaso pa gulu la anthu. Iye anati “Ine ndilibe chifukwa ndi magazi a munthu uyu, ndipo uwu ndi udindo wanu!”
So when he saw that he could gain nothing, but that on the contrary there was a riot threatening, he called for water and washed his hands in sight of them all, saying, "I am not responsible for this murder: you must answer for it."
25 Anthu onse anayankha nati, “Magazi ake akhale pa ife ndi pa ana athu!”
"His blood," replied all the people, "be on us and on our children!"
26 Pamenepo anawamasulira Baraba koma analamula kuti Yesu akakwapulidwe, ndipo anamupereka kuti akapachikidwe.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he ordered to be scourged, and gave Him up to be crucified.
27 Pamenepo asilikali abwanamkubwayo anamutenga nalowa naye ku bwalo la milandu ndipo anasonkhanitsa gulu lonse la asilikali namuzungulira Iye.
Then the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.
28 Anamuvula malaya ake namuveka Iye malaya ofiira aufumu.
Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.
29 Ndipo kenaka analuka chipewa chaminga nachiyika pa mutu pake. Anamugwiritsa ndodo mʼdzanja lake lamanja nagwada pamaso pake namuchitira chipongwe nati, “Tikulonjereni Mfumu ya Ayuda.”
They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!"
30 Anamuthira malovu ndipo anatenga ndodo namumenya nayo pa mutu mobwerezabwereza.
Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it.
31 Atamaliza kumuchitira chipongwe, anamuvula malaya aja namuveka malaya ake aja napita naye kokamupachika.
At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
32 Pamene gululi linkatuluka ndi Yesu, anakumana ndi munthu wochokera ku Kurene dzina lake Simoni ndipo anamuwumiriza kunyamula mtanda.
Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled to carry His cross,
33 Anafika ku malo wotchedwa Gologota amene atanthauza kuti malo a bade la mutu.
and so they came to a place called Golgotha, which means 'Skull-ground.'
34 Pamenepo anamupatsa vinyo wosakaniza ndi ndulu kuti amwe; koma atalawa anakana kumwa.
Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted it He refused to drink it.
35 Atamupachika Iye, anagawana zovala zake pochita maere.
After crucifying Him, they divided His garments among them by lot,
36 Ndipo anakhala pansi namulonda Iye.
and sat down there on guard.
37 Pamwamba pa mutu wake analembapo mawu osonyeza mlandu wake akuti, “uyu ndi yesu, mfumu ya ayuda.”
Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Achifwamba awiri anapachikidwa pamodzi ndi Iye, mmodzi kudzanja lamanja wina kudzanja lamanzere.
At the same time two robbers were crucified with Him, one at His right hand and the other at His left.
39 Ndipo amene amadutsa anamunenera mawu a chipongwe, akupukusa mitu yawo.
And the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him
40 Ndipo anati, “Iwe amene ungapasule Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kuyimanga masiku atatu, dzipulumutse wekha! Tsika pa mtandapo ngati ndiwe Mwana wa Mulungu!”
and said, "You who would pull down the Sanctuary and build a new one within three days, save yourself. If you are God's Son, come down from the cross."
41 Chimodzimodzinso akulu a ansembe, aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi akuluakulu anamuchitira chipongwe.
In like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.
42 Iwo anati, “Anapulumutsa ena koma sangathe kudzipulumutsa yekha! Ndi mfumu ya Israeli! Mulekeni atsike pa mtanda ndipo tidzamukhulupirira Iye.
"He saved others," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 Amadalira Mulungu, mulekeni Mulunguyo amupulumutse tsopano ngati akumufuna pakuti anati, ‘Ndine Mwana wa Mulungu.’”
His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him; for he said, 'I am God's Son.'"
44 Momwemonso mbala zimene zinapachikidwa naye pamodzi zinamuneneranso zachipongwe.
Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers who were being crucified with Him.
45 Kuyambira 12 koloko masana mpaka 3 koloko, kunachita mdima pa dziko lonse.
Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was darkness over the whole land;
46 Ndipo nthawi ili ngati 3 koloko, Yesu analira mofuwula nati, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani!” Kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu Wanga, Mulungu Wanga, mwandisiyiranji Ine?”
but about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
47 Ena a oyimirira pamalopo atamva izi anati, “Akuyitana Eliya.”
"The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.
48 Mmodzi wa iwo anathamanga natenga chinkhupule. Anachidzaza ndi vinyo wosasa, nachizika ku mtengo namupatsa Yesu kuti amwe.
One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine put it on the end of a cane and offered it Him to drink;
49 Koma ena onse anati, “Mulekeni tiyeni tione ngati Eliyayo abwere kudzamupulutsa.”
while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to deliver him."
50 Ndipo pamene Yesu analiranso mofuwula, anapereka mzimu wake.
But Jesus uttered another loud cry and then yielded up His spirit.
51 Pa nthawi imeneyo chinsalu chotchinga cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi. Dziko linagwedezeka ndipo miyala inangʼambika.
Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;
52 Manda anatsekuka ndipo mitembo yambiri ya anthu oyera mtima amene anafa inaukitsidwa.
the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.
53 Anatuluka mʼmanda mwawo, ndipo chitachitika chiukitso cha Yesu, anapita mu mzinda woyera naonekera kwa anthu ambiri.
And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.
54 Mkulu wa asilikali ndi amene ankalondera Yesu ataona chivomerezi ndi zonse zinachitika, anachita mantha, ndipo anati, “Zoonadi, uyu anali Mwana wa Mulungu!”
As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."
55 Amayi ambirimbiri amene ankasamalira Yesu ankaonerera ali patali. Iwo anamutsatira Yesu kuchokera ku Galileya.
And there were a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;
56 Pakati pawo panali Mariya wa ku Magadala, Mariya amayi ake Yakobo ndi Yosefe ndi amayi a ana a Zebedayo.
among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.
57 Pamene kumada, kunabwera munthu wolemera wa ku Arimateyu dzina lake Yosefe amene anali wophunzira wa Yesu.
Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself also had become a disciple of Jesus.
58 Anapita kwa Pilato kukapempha mtembo wa Yesu, ndipo Pilato analamula kuti uperekedwe kwa iye.
He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 Yosefe anatenga mtembowo, nawukulunga nsalu yabafuta.
So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.
60 Ndipo anawuyika mʼmanda ake atsopano amene anasema mu thanthwe, natsekapo ndi mwala waukulu pa khomo la mandawo nachokapo.
He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.
61 Mariya wa Magadala ndi Mariya wina anakhala pansi moyangʼanizana ndi mandawo.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were both present there, sitting opposite to the sepulchre.
62 Litapita tsiku lokonzekera Sabata, mmawa mwake, akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi anapita kwa Pilato.
On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.
63 Iwo anati, “Bwana takumbukira kuti munthu wonyenga uja akanali ndi moyo anati, ‘Pakatha masiku atatu ndidzauka.’
"Sir," they said, "we recollect that during his lifetime that impostor pretended that after two days he was to rise to life again.
64 Choncho lamulirani kuti manda ake atetezedwe mpaka pa tsiku lachitatu. Chifukwa tikapanda kutero, ophunzira ake angabwere kudzaba mtembo wake ndipo angawuze anthu kuti waukitsidwa kwa akufa. Ndipo chinyengo chomalizachi chidzakhala choyipa kwambiri kusiyana ndi choyamba chija.”
So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first."
65 Pilato anayankha kuti, “Tengani mlonda kalondereni monga mudziwira.”
"You can have a guard," said Pilate: "go and make all safe, as best you can."
66 Tsono anapita nakatseka manda kolimba ndi kuyikapo chizindikiro ndipo anayikapo mlonda.
So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.
