Mathai 26
1 Jesu mah hae loknawk thuih pacoengah, a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah,
After Jesus had said all this, he told his disciples,
2 ni hnetto pacoeng ah misong loihhaih poih om tih, tito na panoek o, to naah kami Capa thinglam pong takhing hanah paek o tih.
“You know that it's Passover in two days time, and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 To naah kalen koek qaimanawk, ca tarik kaminawk, kacoehtanawk, Kaiapha, tiah kawk ih kalen koek qaima im ah amkhueng o,
Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of Caiaphas, the high priest.
4 Jesu to zoek moe, naeh o pacoengah, hum hanah a thuih o.
There they plotted to arrest Jesus on some deceitful pretext and kill him.
5 Toe poihsakhaih niah sah hmah si, to tih ai nahaeloe rangpui palungpuihaih om moeng tih, tiah a thuih o.
But they said, “Let's not do this during the festival so that the people don't riot.”
6 Jesu loe Bethany vang ah kaom, ngansae maan Simon im ah oh naah,
While Jesus was staying at Simon the leper's house in Bethany,
7 atho kana parai hmuihoih tabu kasin nongpata maeto anih khaeah angzoh moe, anih buhcaak han anghnut naah lu nuiah a bawh pae.
a woman came over to him carrying an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus' head while he was sitting eating. But when the disciples saw what she did, they were upset.
8 A hnukbang kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, palungphui o moe, tikhoe avang ai ah hae tiah a kraih vai?
“What a terrible waste!” they objected.
9 Atho kana ah hmuihoih tui to zawh moe, amtang kaminawk hanah phoisa to a paek han oh, tiah a thuih o.
“This perfume could've been sold for a lot of money and given to the poor!”
10 Jesu mah to tiah kaom hmuen to panoek naah, Tih hanah nongpata to na tavet o khing loe? Anih loe ka nuiah kahoih hmuen ni a sak.
Jesus was aware of what was going on and told them, “Why are you upset with this woman? She's done something wonderful for me!
11 Nangcae loe amtang kamminawk hoi nawnto na oh o toepsoep: toe kai loe nangcae hoi ka om poe mak ai.
You'll always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me.
12 Nongpata mah ka nuiah bawh ih hmuihoih tui loe Kai aphum hanah sak ih hmuen ah ni oh.
By pouring this perfume on my body she's prepared me for burial.
13 Loktang kang thuih o, Long pum ah hae kahoih tamthanglok thuih kruek, hae nongpata mah ka nuiah sak ih hmuen doeh anih panoek poehaih hanah thui o tih, tiah a naa.
I tell you the truth: wherever in the world this good news is spread, the story of what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
14 To naah a hnukbang hatlai hnetto thungah Judah Isakariot, tiah kawk ih kami maeto loe, kalen koek qaima khaeah caeh moe,
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the chief priests
15 nihcae khaeah, Anih to kang paek nahaeloe timaw nang paek o han? tiah a naa. To naah nihcae mah anih khaeah phoisa quithumto paek hanah palungdue o.
and asked them, “How much will you pay me for betraying Jesus to you?” They paid him thirty silver coins.
16 To nathuem hoi kamtong anih mah Jesu naeh thai han ih atue kahoih to pakrong boeh.
From then on he looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
17 Taeh thuh ai misong loihhaih poih nito naah loe, a hnukbang kaminawk Jesu khaeah angzoh o moe, nang hanah misong loihhaih poih hae naah maw saksak han na koeh? tiah a naa o.
On the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you to eat?”
18 Anih mah, Vangpui thung ih kami maeto khaeah caeh oh loe, anih khaeah, Patukkung mah Kai ih atue loe zoi boeh; ka hnukbang kaminawk hoi nang im ah Misong loihhaih poih ka sak han, tiah a thuih, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
Jesus told them, “Go into the city and find this particular man, and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is approaching. I'm coming to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’”
19 Jesu mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a hnukbang kaminawk mah, Misong loihhaih poih to sak o.
The disciples did as Jesus told them, and prepared the Passover meal there.
20 Duembang phak naah, anih loe buhcaak hanah kami hatlai hnettonawk hoi nawnto anghnut.
When evening came he sat down to eat with the Twelve.
21 Nihcae buhcaak o naah anih mah, Loktang kang thuih o, nangcae thung ih kami maeto mah kai angphat taak tih, tiah a naa.
While they were eating he told them, “I tell you the truth: one of you is going to betray me.”
22 To naah nihcae loe palungset o moe, kami boih mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, kai maw? tiah a naa o.
They were extremely upset. One after the other they asked him, “Lord, it's not me, is it?”
23 Anih mah, Kai hoi nawnto sabae tapawh kami mah, kai angphat taak tih.
“The one who's dipped his hand into the dish with me will betray me,” Jesus replied.
24 Kami Capa loe angmah kawng tarik ih baktih toengah caeh tih: toe kami Capa angphat taak kami loe khosak bing! To kami loe tapen ai ah om nahaeloe hoi kue tih, tiah pathim pae.
“The Son of man will die just as it was prophesied about him, but what a disaster it will be for the man who betrays the Son of man! It would be better for that man if he'd never been born!”
25 Anih angphat taak kami, Judah mah, Rabbi, kai maw? tiah a naa. To naah anih mah, Na thuih ih baktih toengah nang ni, tiah a naa.
Judas, the one who would betray Jesus, asked “It's not me, is it, Rabbi?” “You said it,” Jesus replied.
26 Nihcae buhcaak o nathuem ah, Jesu mah takaw to lak moe, tahamhoihhaih paek pacoengah, a aeh, a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah a paek, la oh loe, caa oh: hae loe ka taksa ah oh, tiah a naa.
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave pieces to the disciples. “Take and eat this for it is my body,” said Jesus.
27 To pacoengah boengloeng to a lak moe, kawnhaih lawkthuih pacoengah, nihcae khaeah a paek, nae o boih ah;
Then he picked up the cup, blessed it, and gave it to them. “Drink from it, all of you,” he told them.
28 hae loe pop parai kaminawk ih zae tahmen hanah kalong, lokkamhaih kangtha, ka thii ah oh.
“For this is my blood of the agreement, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 Kang thuih o, Vaihi hoi kamtong Pa ih prae ah nangcae hoi nawnto kangtha naekhaih ni pha ai karoek to, hae misurtui hae ka nae mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
However, I tell you, I won't drink this fruit of the vine until the day I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
30 Laa maeto a sak o pacoengah, Olive mae ah a caeh o.
After they'd sung a song, they left for the Mount of Olives.
31 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Tuutoep kami to ka boh han, tuunawk loe ahmuen kalah ah ampraek o phang tih, tiah tarik baktih toengah, kai pongah vaiduem poekhaih nam ro o boih tih.
“All of you will abandon me tonight,” Jesus told them. “As Scripture says, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the flock of sheep will be completely scattered.’
32 Toe kang thawk let pacoengah, nangcae hmaa ah Kalili ah ka caeh han, tiah a naa.
But after I have risen, I'll go ahead of you to Galilee.”
33 Piter mah anih khaeah, Nang pongah minawk poek amro o boih cadoeh, kai loe natuek naah doeh poek amro mak ai, tiah a naa.
But Peter objected, “Even if everyone else abandons you, I'll never abandon you.”
34 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Loktang kang thuih, vaiduem aakhong ai naah, vai thumto kai nang phat taak tih, tiah a naa.
“I'm telling you the truth,” Jesus told him, “This very night, before the cock crows, you'll deny me three times.”
35 Piter mah anih khaeah, Nang hoi nawnto duek han om cadoeh, nang to kang phat taak mak ai, tiah a naa. A hnukbang kaminawk mah doeh to tiah thuih o boih.
“Even if I have to die with you, I'll never deny you!” Peter insisted. And all the disciples said the same thing.
36 To pacoengah Jesu loe Gethsemane, tiah kawk ih ahmuen ah a hnukbang kaminawk hoi caeh o, a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, haeah anghnu oh, ho ah lawkthuih han ka caeh han, tiah a naa.
Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane. He told them, “Sit down here while I go over there and pray.”
37 Piter hoi Zebedi capa hnik to a caeh haih, anih loe palungset moe, paroeai dawnraihaih hoiah oh.
He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and he began to suffer agonizing sorrow and distress.
38 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Ka hinghaih pakhra loe duek han khoek to palungset parai; haeah om oh loe nawnto na hak o haih ah, tiah a naa.
Then he said to them, “I am so overwhelmed with sadness that it's killing me. Wait here and keep watch with me.”
39 Anih loe ahmuen kangthla kue ah caeh moe, mikhmai long ah akuep, Aw Pa, angcoeng thai nahaeloe, hae boengloeng hae kai khae hoi takhoe ving ah: toe ka koehhaih baktih na ai ah, na koehhaih baktiah om nasoe, tiah lawk a thuih.
He went a little farther forward, fell face down, and prayed. “My Father, please, if it's possible, let this cup of suffering be taken from me,” Jesus asked. “Even so, may it not be what I want but what you want.”
40 A hnukbang kaminawk khaeah a caeh naah, ka-iip nihcae to a hnuk, Piter khaeah, atue maeto thung mataeng doeh nang hak o haih thai ai maw?
He went back to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “What, you couldn't stay awake with me for just one hour?
41 Pacuekhaih thungah na kun o han ai ah, Hak oh loe, lawkthui oh: pakhra mah loe koeh, toe taksa loe thazok, tiah a naa.
Stay awake and pray, so that you don't fall into temptation. Yes, the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
42 Anih loe caeh let moe, Aw Pa, hae boengloeng hae kai khae hoiah ni takhoe ving thai ai moe, ka naek hanah om khruek nahaeloe, na koehhaih baktiah om nasoe, tiah lawk a thuih.
He went away a second time and prayed. “My Father, if this cup cannot be taken from me without me drinking from it, then your will be done,” he said.
43 Anih angzoh let naah, iih kangmue khaang o ai pongah, ka-iip nihcae to a hnuk let bae.
He went back and found them sleeping, for they just couldn't stay awake.
44 To pongah nihcae to a caeh taak moe, vai thumto haih, to tiah lawk a thuih let bae.
So he left them once more, and went off and prayed a third time, repeating the same things.
45 To pacoengah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah a caeh, nihcae khaeah, Vaihi khoek to nang song o moe, na iih o vop maw? Khenah, Kami Capa to angphat taak moe, kazae kaminawk ban ah paekhaih atue loe zoi boeh, tiah a naa.
Then he returned to the disciples, and told them, “How can you still be sleeping and resting? Look, the time has come. The Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners!
46 Angthawk oh, caeh o si boeh: khenah, kai angphat taak kami loe angzoh boeh, tiah a naa.
Get up, let's go! See, the one who's betraying me has arrived.”
47 Anih lokthuih li naah, khenah, hatlai hnetto thung ih maeto, Judah to angzoh, kalen koek qaima hoi rangpui kacoehtanawk mah patoeh ih, pop parai kaminawk loe haikaek hoi thingboengnawk to sin o moe, angzoh o.
As he said this, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived with a large mob armed with swords and clubs sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Anih angphat taak kami mah nihcae hanah angmathaih to paek, Ka mok ih kami loe, Anih to boeh ni; anih to naeh oh, tiah a naa.
The betrayer had arranged to give them a signal: “The one that I kiss, that's him—arrest him,” he'd told them.
49 Judah loe Jesu khaeah caeh phrat moe, Patukkung, tiah lok tapring pacoengah, Anih to a mok.
Judas came up to Jesus immediately, and said, “Hello, Rabbi,” and kissed him.
50 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Ampui, tih sak han ih maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. To naah kaminawk angzoh o moe, Anih to naeh o pacoengah, a caeh o haih.
“My friend, do what you came to do,” Jesus said to Judas. So they came and grabbed hold of Jesus, and arrested him.
51 To naah khenah, Jesu hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk thung ih maeto loe a ban to phok moe, a sumsen to azuh pacoengah, kalen koek qaima tamna ih naa to takroek pae pat.
One of those who was with Jesus reached for his sword and pulled it out. He struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
52 Jesu mah anih khaeah, angmah ih ahmuen ah na sumsen to suem ah: mi kawbaktih doeh sumsen sin kami loe suemsen hoiah dueh tih.
But Jesus told him, “Put your sword away. Everyone who fights with the sword will die by the sword.
53 Kai paek hanah misatuh abu hatlai hnetto pongah kapop van kaminawk to Pa khaeah vaihi ka hni thai mak ai, tiah na poek o maw?
Don't you think I could ask my Father, and he'd immediately send more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Toe to tiah om nahaeloe, cabu thungah hae tiah om tih, tiah thuih ih lok to kawbangah maw akoep thai tih? tiah a naa.
But then how could the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must be like this?”
55 To nathuem ah Jesu mah pop parai kaminawk khaeah, Kai hae kamqu baktiah naeh han ih maw, sumsen hoi thingboengnawk hoiah nang zoh o? Tikhoe ni thokkruek tempul thungah nangcae hoi nawnto kang hnut moe, kaminawk ka patuk naah nang naeh o ai loe?
Then Jesus told the mob, “Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I was some kind of dangerous criminal? Every day I sat in the Temple teaching and you didn't arrest me then.
56 Toe tahmaanawk mah tarik ih cabu akoep han ih ni hae hmuen hae oh, tiah a naa. To pacoengah a hnukbang kaminawk mah anih to angphat o taak moe, cawnh o taak boih.
But all this is happening to fulfill what the prophets wrote.” Then all the disciples abandoned him and ran away.
57 Jesu naeh kaminawk mah anih to ca trik kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk amkhuenghaih, kalen koek qaima, Kaiapha im ah caeh o haih.
Those who'd arrested Jesus took him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the religious teachers and elders had gathered.
58 Toe Piter loe qaima im khoek to ahmuen kangtla hoiah anih hnukah bang, kawbangah maw a sak o, tiah panoek hanah, a thungah akun moe, imtoep tamnanawk hoi nawnto anghnut.
Peter followed him at a distance, and went into the high priest's courtyard. He sat there with the guards to see how things would end.
59 Qaimanawk, kacoehtanawk hoi lokcaekungnawk boih mah Jesu hum hanah, sak pazaehaih to pakrong o;
The chief priests and the whole council were trying to find some false evidence against Jesus so they could put him to death.
60 toe tidoeh hnu o ai: ue, zae netkung paroeai angzoh o, toe nihcae mah zaehaih tidoeh hnu o ai. Hnukkhuem koek ah loe amsawn zaehaih hnukung hnetto angzoh moe,
But they couldn't find anything, even though many false witnesses came forward. Eventually two came forward
61 hae kami mah, Sithaw ih tempul hae ka phraek moe, ni thumto thungah ka sak thaih, tiah thuih, tiah a thuih hoi.
and reported, “This man said, ‘I can destroy God's Temple, and rebuild it in three days.’”
62 To naah kalen koek qaima to angthawk moe, anih khaeah, lok nang pathim mak ai maw? Hae hnukung hnik mah zae nethaih loe kawbangah maw oh? tiah a naa.
The high priest stood up and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What do you have to say in your defense?”
63 Toe Jesu loe angam duem. Qaima mah anih khaeah, Kahing Sithaw ih ahmin palawkhaih hoiah lok kang dueng, nang loe Sithaw Capa, Kri maw? Na thui ah, tiah a naa.
But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to Jesus, “In the name of the living God I place you under oath. Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
64 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Na thuih ih baktih toengah ka oh: toe nang khaeah lok ka thuih, hmabang ah loe Thacak bantang bangah kanghnu, tamai nui hoiah angzo Kami Capa to na hnu tih, tiah a naa.
“You said it,” Jesus replied. “And I also tell you that in the future you'll see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 To naah kalen koek qaima mah angmah ih kahni to asih moe, Anih mah Sithaw to kasae thuih boeh; aicae mah kalah hnukungnawk timaw angaihaih oh vop? Khenah, a thuih ih Sithaw padaenghaih lok to vaihi na thaih o boeh.
Then the high priest tore his clothes, and said, “He's speaking blasphemy! Why do we need any witnesses? Look, now you've heard for yourselves his blasphemy!
66 Kawbangah maw na poek o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Anih loe duek han krah zaehaih a tawnh, tiah pathim pae o.
What's your verdict?” “Guilty! He deserves to die!” they answered.
67 Nihcae mah a mikhmai ah tamtui hoi pathoih o moe, anih to thong o; thoemto kaminawk mah anih to tabaeng o,
Then they spat in his face and beat him. Some of them slapped him with their hands,
68 nang Kri, mi mah maw ang boh? Na thui ah, tiah a naa o.
and said, “Prophesy to us, you ‘Messiah’! Who just hit you?”
69 Piter loe im tasa bangah anghnut: to naah nongpata maeto anih khaeah angzoh moe, nang doeh Kalili prae ih Jesu hoi nawnto na oh toeng bae, tiah a naa.
Meanwhile Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came up to him, and said, “You were with Jesus the Galilean too!”
70 Toe Piter mah nihcae boih hma ah angphat, timaw na thuih ka panoek ai, tiah a naa.
But he denied it in front of everyone. “I don't know what you're talking about,” he said.
71 Im hmabang ih khongkha ah a caeh naah, kalah nongpata maeto mah anih to hnuk, nongpata mah to ah kaom kaminawk khaeah, Hae kami doeh Nazareth Jesu hoi nawnto oh, tiah a thuih.
When he went back to the courtyard entrance another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 To naah anih mah, To kami to ka panoek ai, tiah lokmaihaih hoiah angphat taak let.
Once again he denied it, saying with an oath, “I don't know him.”
73 Akra ai ah to ah angdoe kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, Piter khaeah, nang doeh nihcae thung ih kami maeto ah ni na oh; na paeh ih lok pongah amnoek boeh, tiah a naa o.
A little while later the people standing there came up to Peter and said, “You definitely are one of them. Your accent gives you away.”
74 To naah anih mah, To kami to ka panoek ai, tiah tangoenghaih hoiah lokkamhaih to a sak. To pacoengah loe aa to khong roep.
Then he started to swear: “Curses on me if I'm a liar! I don't know the man!” Immediately the cock crowed.
75 Jesu mah, aakhong ai naah, vai thumto kai nang phat taak tih, tiah thuih ih lok to Piter mah panoek. To pongah tasa bangah a caeh moe, palungset loiah a qah.
Then Peter remembered what Jesus had told him: “Before the cock crows, three times you will deny knowing me.” He went outside and wept bitterly.
