Mahte 26
1 Jesuh naw acuna mtheimthangnake a jah pyen päng üng, axüisaw he üng,
Now it happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that He said to His disciples,
2 “Lätnak Pawi a phanak vai mhnüp nghngih hlü hamki ti nami ksingki, Khyanga Capa kutlamktung üng ami hnim vaia man law khaie,” ti lü a jah mtheh.
“You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of the Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 Acunüng, ktaiyü ngvaie, thumksinge ja, angvaie cun, ktaiyü ngvai säih Kaiphah ami tia abawi ima ngbum lawki he.
Then the chief priests, the scribes and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, the one called Caiaphas,
4 Jesuh ampyuaa man lü hnim khai hea cengkie.
and they plotted to seize Jesus by trickery and kill Him.
5 “Acunsepi, lätnak pawi k’um üng ta käh pawh vai, khyang he suksak khaie ni,” ami ti.
But they said, “Not during the feast, in order not to have an uproar among the people.”
6 Jesuh Bethanih mlüh, mnehkse mnehki Sihmona ima veki.
Now when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,
7 Jesuh naw buh a ei k’um üng, nghnumi mat naw aphu küi alabasta ksi ng’ui um mat üng lawpüi lü, a lu khana a buih law.
a woman approached Him, having an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, and she began to pour it on His head as He reclined at the table.
8 Axüisawe naw hmuh u lü ami mlung so se, “Ivai ahikba a päihcaihsak ni?
But upon seeing it His disciples were indignant saying: “Why this waste?
9 “Hina ksi ng'ui khawhaha jawi lü, khuikha msih mpyaki he üng jah pet vai sü,” ami ti.
For this perfume could have been sold for a good deal and given to the poor.”
10 Jesuh naw ami pyen ksing lü, “Ivai hina nghnumi nami suksakeikie ni? Ani naw ka khana akdaw säih pawhki ni.
But being aware Jesus said to them: “Why are you bothering the woman? She has done something beautiful to me.
11 “Sih mpyaki he cun aläa nami hlawnga ve khaie. Acunsepi, kei cun nami hlawnga aläa am ve hlü nawng.
You will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12 “Hina ksi ng'ui ka khana a buih hin ka ng'utnak vaia pyangki ni.
In putting this perfume on my body she did it with a view to my burial.
13 “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, khawmdek van üng hawia pi, thangkdaw ami sang hü u üng, hina nghnumi naw hikba a pawha mawng pi ani sümnak vaia pyensih khaie” a ti.
Assuredly I say to you, wherever this gospel may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will also be told in her memory.”
14 Acunüng, axüisaw he xaleinghngih üngka mat Judah Iskarot naw ktaiyü ngvaiea veia cit lü,
Then one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 “Ani nami veia ka phyehei üng, i ja nami na pet kawm?” a ti. Ngui thumkip khe ma u lü ami pet.
and said, “What are you willing to give me so that I deliver Him to you?” So they counted out to him thirty silver coins.
16 Acunkäna Judah Isakarot naw Jesuh a phyeheinak vaia lam suiki.
From then on he kept looking for an opportunity to betray Him.
17 Nghngen am ngcawkia buh pawhnaka mhnüp kcük üng, axüisaw he Jesuh veia law u lü, “Hawia ni, Lätnak pawi buh na ei vaia kami pyen vai na ngjak hlü?” ami ti.
Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus saying to Him, “Where do you want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 Jesuh naw, “Ngnam k'uma khyang mata veia cit u lü, ‘Saja naw Ka kcün pha law ve; ka hnükläke ja Kei naw na ima Lätnak pawi buh ei khai, ti ve’ va ti ua” a ti.
So He said: “Go into the city to ‘you know who’ and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near, I will do the Passover with my disciples at your place.”’”
19 Jesuh naw a jah mtheha mäiha axüisaw he naw Lätnak pawi buh pyang vaikie.
And the disciples did as Jesus directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 Khaw amü law üng, axüisaw xaleinghngihe ja Jesuh ei khaia ngaw yümkie.
When it was evening He was reclining at the table with the twelve.
21 Ami ei k’um üng Jesuh naw, “Ka ning jah mthehki, nangmi üngka mat naw na phyehei khai,” a ti.
And as they were eating He said, “Assuredly I say to you that one of you will betray me.”
22 Axüisawe amsüma pukse u lü, “Bawipa aw, acun mä kei vai aw?” ti lü mat mat cima ami kthäh u.
This really upset them and they each began to say to Him, “It isn't me, is it, Lord?”
23 Jesuh naw, “Kbe mat üng atänga na kpuiheipüiki naw na phyehei khai.
In answer He said: “It is the one who dipped his hand in the bowl with me, he will betray me.
24 “Khyanga Capa cun Cangcim üng a ng'yuka mäiha thi khai. Acunsepi, Khyanga Capa phyehei khaia phäh ihlawk kyühkse khai ni. Acuna khyang hin angtüia käh a ngtüi law xaa ta a phäha daw bawk khai sü,” a ti.
The Son of the Man is really going just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of the Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man not to have been born.”
25 Phyehei khaia khyang Judah naw, “Rabbi, acun mä kei phäi aw?” a ti. Jesuh naw, “Ä, na pyen cang ve,” a ti.
Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “It isn't me, is it, Rabbi?” He says to him, “You said it!”
26 Acukba ami ei k’um üng, Jesuh naw muk lo lü ktaiyü ma lü boki naw, axüisaw he üng a jah pet. “Lo u lü, ei ua; hin hin keia mtisa ni,” a ti.
Now as they were eating, after taking the bread and blessing it, Jesus broke it, gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
27 Acunüng, Jesuh naw khawt lo lü Pamhnam üng jenak mtheh lü, axüisaw he üng a jah pet. “Nami van naw hin aw ua.
And taking the cup and giving thanks He gave it to them saying: “Drink of it, all of you;
28 Hin hin ka thisen, Pamhnama khyütamnak kthai, khyang khawhah mkhyekatnak mhlätnak vaia lawngki ka thisen ni.
for this is my blood, that of the new covenant, that which is being shed on behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.
29 Ka ning jah mthehki, ka paa Uknaka Khawa nangmi am ahina capyittui kthai am mi awk be yüm vei cäpa, hina capyittui kthai am ka aw be ti khai ni,” a ti.
Furthermore, I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
30 Acunüng, ng’äi mat ami mcuh käna, Olip mcung da citkie.
And after hymn-singing they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 “Tuh mthan, kei na hawih hüt u lü nami cen päih khaie. Cangcim üng a ng’yuka kba, ‘Pamhnam naw toksäm hnim se, toe cun ngpyangtaiei hü päih khaie’
Then Jesus says to them: “All of you will be caused to stumble because of me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 Acunsepi, ka thawh be käna Kalile khawa nami maa ka na cit khai,” ti lü Jesuh naw a pyen.
But after I am raised I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Pita naw msang lü, “Ami van naw ning cen ta päih u sepi, kei naw ta isüm am ning cen ta ngü,” a ti.
Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if everyone else is caused to stumble because of you, I will never be caused to stumble.”
34 Jesuh naw, “Ka ning mthehki, tuh mthan ai am khawng ham se, nang naw kthum vei am na na ksing vaia na pyen khai,” a ti.
Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I say to you that this night, before any rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
35 Pita naw, “Na thihnaka thih hnga vai ngü sepi acukba ta am ka pyen khai ni,” a ti. Acukba bäa axüisaw he ami van naw ti law hngakie.
Peter says to Him, “Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the other disciples said the same.
36 Acunüng, Jesuh axüisaw he am alanga, Ketaseman ami tinaka hnün mat ami pha law üng, axüisaw he üng, “Caia ka va ktaiyü k’um üng, hin üng a na ngaw ua,” a ti.
Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He says to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 Pita ja Zebedea capa xawi jah ngkhahpüi lü, a mlung na leng lengki.
And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along He began to be troubled and distressed.
38 Acunüng Jesuh naw jah mtheh lü, “Thi hlü awnga ka mlung khuikha ve. Ahin üng ve lü na ngängpüi ua,” ti lü a cehpüi kthum üng a jah mtheh.
Then Jesus says to them: “My soul is in anguish, to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me.”
39 Jesuh cun va cetca lü, mdeka a hmai bun lü, “Aw, ka pa aw, a thawn thei üng ta, hina khuikhatnak khawt hin ka vei üngka naw loina. Cunüngpi, keia ngjakhlüa käh thawn lü, na ngjakhlüa thawn se,” ti lü ktaiyüki.
And going a little farther He fell on His face and prayed saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by; nevertheless not as I wish, but as you do.”
40 Acunüng law be lü, a hnükläk kthum cun a na ipei u se jah hmuh lü Pita üng, “Naji matca pi ami na na k’äihpüi khawhki aw?
Then He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and He says to Peter: “So, you (pl.) were not able to watch with me one hour!
41 Hlawhlepnak üng nami lut msawk khai ni, ngäng lü ktaiyü ua. Mlungmthin ta yäng kyawki mtisa naw am lüi ve,” ti lü a mtheh.
Watch and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit on its part is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Anghngihnaka va cit lü, “Aw ka pa aw, kei naw hina khuikhatnak khawt hin am aw ngü se am a thawn thei üng ta, na ngjakhlüa kya se,” ti lü ktaiyü betüki.
And going away a second time He prayed saying, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass from me unless I drink it, let your will be done.”
43 Ami veia a law be üng a axüisaw he a na ip betü u lü am mdei khaw u se a jah hmuh.
And coming He finds them sleeping again, because their eyes had been weighed down.
44 Jah hawih hüt lü akthumnaka acukba bä pyen lü va ktaiyü betüki.
So leaving them He went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
45 Acunüng, axüisaw hea veia cit be lü, “Atuh vei cäpa ip lü nami hüieikie aw? Teng ua, Khyanga Capa cun khyangkaea kut üng msum vaia kcün pha law ve.
Then He comes to His disciples and says to them: “Sleep some more and take your rest! Actually, the hour is here and the Son of the Man is being betrayed into sinners' hands.
46 “Tho law ua, mi cit vai. Teng ua, na phyeheikia khyang law ve,” a ti.
Get up, let's go; see, the one who is betraying me has come!”
47 Acukba, a na ngthuhei k'um üng, axüisaw he üngka Judah law lü, ktaiyü ngvaie, thumksinge ja axü ngvaie naw ami jah tüih law khyangpänu li kcim jah kpawmeikie a jah lawpüi.
And while He was still speaking, there was Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Phyeheiki naw msingnak jah pe lü, “Ka mhnama khyang cun na ngjakhlüa khyanga kya khai, ani nami man vai,” a ti.
(Now His betrayer had given them a sign saying, “Whomever I kiss, it is He; take Him!”)
49 Judah cun Jesuh veia cit lü, “Rabbi, dimdeihnak ve se,” ti lü a mhnam.
And he went right up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 Jesuh naw, “Ka püi aw, ise na lawki ni?” a ti. Acun ja lawsih lü ami man u.
So Jesus said to him, “Friend, what brings you here?” Then approaching they laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
51 Jesuha a ngkhahpüi he üngka mat naw kcim ksetei lü ktaiyü ngvai säiha mpyaa hngakawi a ksawm pit.
And then, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest he cut off his ear!
52 Jesuh naw, “Na kcim a venak üng ta bea, kcim xatnakie cun kcim am ni ami thih kawm.
But Jesus says to him: “Put your sword back into its place, for all who take the sword will die by the sword.
53 Tukbäih ka pa veia ktaiyü ngü se, ani naw khankhawngsä he xaleinghngih khläih na tüih law pe khawhki ti, am nami ksingki aw?
Do you actually suppose that I cannot call upon my Father right now and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Ka ktaiyü üng, ihawkba Cangcim naw ahikba thawn law khai a ti, kümbe law khai ni?” a ti.
But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it has to happen this way?”
55 Acunkäna Jesuh naw, “Li kcime jah kawtei u lü Kei na man khaia nami lawki he aw? Kei hin khyang kse aw? Amhnüp tä, nami hlawnga ngaw lü templea jah mthei ngü se, am nami na manki.
At that time Jesus said to the crowd: “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a bandit, to arrest me? I used to sit daily with you in the temple, teaching, and you did not seize me.
56 Acunsepi, ahin avan cun sahma hea pyen akümnak vaia kyaki ni,” a ti. Acunüng axüisaw he ami van naw hawih lü ami dawng tak.
But all this has happened so that the Scriptures of the prophets should be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook Him and ran away.
57 Jesuh mankia khyang he naw ktaiyü ngvai säih Kaiphah ima, thumksinge ja axü ngvaiea ngcunnaka ami cehpüi.
So those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 Pita athuknak üngka naw ktaiyü ngvaia ngvawng cäpa läk hngaki. Lut hnga lü i a thawn law teng khaia, yekapa am ngaw yümkie.
Now Peter was following Him at a distance, up to the high priest's courtyard. And going inside he sat down with the attendants, to see the end.
59 Ktaiyü ngvaie ja Kawngci üngka ami van naw Jesuh ami hnimnak vaia am cangkia saksi suikie.
The chief priests and the elders, in fact the whole Council, kept looking for false witnesses against Jesus so that they could put Him to death,
60 Cunüngpi, khyang khawkän naw maa law u lü Jesuh mhleieikie kyaw, cunsepi i am hmuh u. Akpäihnaka khyang nghngih law ni lü,
but did not find any. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they did not find any. But at last two false witnesses came forward
61 “Hina khyang naw, ‘Kei naw Pamhnama temple kpye lü amhnüp kthum üng ka sa be khawh khai’ tiki,” ti lü ani pyen law.
and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.’”
62 Ktaiyü ngvai säih naw tho law lü, “Ami ning mkatei na jah msangnak vai am na ksingeiki aw?” a ti.
And standing up the high priest said to Him: “Do you answer nothing? What is it that these men are testifying against you?”
63 Acunsepi, Jesuh am khihkheh. Ktaiyü ngvai säih naw msang lü, “Xüngseikia Pamhnama ngming be lü ka ning kthähki: Pamhnama Capa, Khritaw Mesijaha na kya üng jah mtheha,” a ti.
But Jesus kept silent. So reacting the high priest said to Him, “I put you under oath by the Living God so that you tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!”
64 Jesuh naw, “Na pyen cang ve. Acunsepi, tuha Khyanga Capa cun a Johitmah säih khet da ngaw lü, ngmei üng kyum law se nami hmuh khai,” a ti.
Jesus says to him: “You said it. Furthermore, I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of the Man sitting at the Power's right, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 Acunüng, ktaiyü ngvai säih naw a suisake jah ktekin lü, “Hin naw Pamhnam pyenksenaka ngthu pyen ve! Ahina thea ia saksi am hlü ti? Tuh kung Pamhnam a pyetsenak nami ngjaki.
Then the high priest tore his clothes saying: “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? See, now you have heard His blasphemy!
66 Ihawkba nami ngaikie ja?” a ti. Amimi naw, “Ani mkhyekatki, thih kung khaia ngkawih ve,” ami ti.
What do you think?” So in answer they said, “He deserves death!”
67 Acunüng, a hmai üng msawh lü thäkie. Avang naw ami mja am kbei u lü,
Then they spat in His face and punched Him, while others slapped Him
68 “Nang Khritaw! Na nghmaki. U ja ni kbeiki? jah mtheha” ami ti.
saying, “Messiah, prophesy to us! Who is the one who hit you?”
69 Pita ngvawnga kpunga ngaw se, ktaiyü ngvaia mpya nghnumi mat naw a veia law lü, “Nang pi Kalile khyang Jesuh am nani ve yümki,” a ti.
Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a certain servant girl approached him saying, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.”
70 Cunsepi, Pita naw ami vana maa ngcim lü, “I na pyenki, am ksing nawng,” a ti.
But he denied before them all saying, “I don't know what you are saying.”
71 Acunüng, akce mkawt da cit se, acuia mpya akce nghnumi naw hmuh lü, “Hina khyang pi, Nazaret Jesuh am ve yümki va ni kbak,” ti lü acuia awmki he üng a jah mtheh.
And having gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and says to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus the Natsorean.”
72 Pita naw, “Ka ng’yünki, acuna khyang kei am ksing nawng” ti lü ngcim betüki.
And he denied again, with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
73 Ivei am ngsawk se acuia ngdüikie naw law u lü, “Akcanga nang pi acun he üngka mata na kyaki ni, na ngthuhei üng ngsingei ve,” ami ti.
But a little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Really, you too are one of them, because your very accent gives you away!”
74 Acunüng Pita naw, “Ka ng’yünki, akcang ni ka pyen. Ka hlei ka pyen üng Pamhnam naw na hmuh se. Acuna khyang am ksing nawng” a ti. Acukba a ngcim betü ja ainghlüi khawngki.
Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
75 Jesuh naw, “Ainghlüi am khawng ham se kthum vei ngcim lü na na ma khai,” a ti cen Pita naw süm law be lü kpunga cit lü aknuia kyapki.
And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before any rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And going out he cried bitterly.
