Matthai 26
1 Jesuh loh hekah ol he boeih a khah tom vaengah a hnukbang rhoek te,
When Jesus had ended all these discourses, He said to His disciples,
2 “Hnin nit phoeiah yoom om ni tila na ming uh, hlang capa tah te vaengah tai hamla a tloeng coeng,” a ti nah.
"You know that in two days' time the Passover comes. And the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
3 Te vaengah khosoihham rhoek neh pilnam khuikah patong rhoek tah Kaiaphas la a khue khosoihham kah vongup ah tingtun uh.
Then the High Priests and Elders of the People assembled in the court of the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas,
4 Jesuh te tuengkhuepnah neh tuuk phoeiah ngawn ham dawtlet uh thae.
and consulted how to get Jesus into their power by stratagem and put Him to death.
5 Tedae, “Khotue vaengah boel saeh, pilnam khuiah olpungnah la om pawt nim,” a ti uh.
But they said, "Not during the Festival, lest there be a riot among the people."
6 Jesuh te Bethany kah hmaibae Simon im ah om.
Now when Jesus was come to Bethany and was at the house of Simon the Leper,
7 Anih te a phu aka kuel, botui lungbok aka pom huta loh a paan tih aka vael Jesuh kah a lu te a suep thil.
a woman came to Him with a jar of very costly, sweet-scented ointment, which she poured over His head as He reclined at table.
8 A hmuh uh vaengah hnukbang rhoek loh a yakdam uh tih, “He vakrhanah la he.
"Why such waste?" indignantly exclaimed the disciples;
9 He tah a yet la a yoih vetih khodaeng a paek thai dae ta,” a ti uh.
"for this might have been sold for a considerable sum, and the money given to the poor."
10 Tedae Jesuh loh a ming vaengah amih te, “Balae tih huta he thakthaenah neh na toeh uh, kai hamla bibi then ni a saii.
But Jesus heard it, and said to them, "Why are you vexing her? For she has done a most gracious act towards me.
11 khodaeng rhoek tah nangmih taengah om taitu ta, tedae kai he ka om taitu moenih.
The poor you always have with you, but me you have not always.
12 Huta loh ka pum dongah botui a suep he kai kah rhokkhoem ham ni a saii coeng.
In pouring this ointment over me, her object was to prepare me for burial.
13 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, Diklai pum kah olthangthen a hoe nah takuem ah anih loh a saii he khaw a kutmuei la a thui ni,” a ti nah.
In solemn truth I tell you that wherever in the whole world this Good News shall be proclaimed, this deed of hers shall be spoken of in memory of her."
14 Hlainit khuikah pakhat Judah Iskariot la a khue tah vik cet.
At that time one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the High Priests
15 Khosoihham rhoek taengah, “Na ngaih yet te mah kai m'pae uh anih te nangmih taengah ah kan tloeng bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih ham tangka sawmthum a cun uh.
and said, "What are you willing to give me if I betray him to you?" So they weighed out to him thirty shekels,
16 Te vaeng lamloh Jesuh te voeih ham a tuethen a dawn.
and from that moment he was on the look out for an opportunity to betray Him.
17 Vaidamding kah a cuek khohnin ah hnukbang rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh tih, “Melam na ngaih dae, yoom na caak ham ka rhuengphong uh pawn eh?” a ti na uh.
On the first day of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus with the question, "Where shall we make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
18 Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Khopuei la cet uh lamtah pakhat taengah, 'Saya loh, 'Kai kah a tue tah om tom coeng, nang taengah ka hnukbang rhoek neh yoom ka saii ni,’ a ti, 'ti na uh,” a ti nah.
"Go into the city," He replied, "to a certain man, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, My time is close at hand. It is at your house that I shall keep the Passover with my disciples.'"
19 Jesuh loh amih a thuinuet bangla hnukbang rhoek loh a saii uh tih Yoom te a rhuengphong uh.
The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and got the Passover ready.
20 Hlaem a pha vaengah hlainit taengah a vael.
When evening came, He was at table with the twelve disciples,
21 A caak uh li vaengah, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, nangmih khuikah pakhat loh kai m'voeih ni,” a ti nah.
and the meal was proceeding, when Jesus said, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Te vaengah bahoeng a kothae uh tih amah te, “Boeipa, kai ka om mai khaming,” rhip pahoi a ti uh.
Intensely grieved they began one after another to ask Him, "Can it be I, Master?"
23 Tedae amah loh a doo tih, “Kai taengah baeldung khuila kut aka puei loh kai m'voeih ni.
"The one who has dipped his fingers in the bowl with me," He answered, "is the man who will betray me.
24 Hlang Capa tah amah kawng a daek pah bangla cet ngawn ta. Tedae anih kongah Hlang Capa a voeih sak hlang tah anunae. Tekah hlang tah cun pawt koinih anih ham then ngai ni,” a ti nah.
The Son of Man is indeed going as is written concerning Him; but alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man if he had never been born."
25 Te vaengah anih aka voei Judah loh a doo tih, “Rhabbi, kai ka om mai khaming “a ti nah hatah anih te, “Na thui coeng te,” a ti nah.
Then Judas, the disciple who was betraying Him, asked, "Can it be I, Rabbi?" "It is you," He replied.
26 A caak uh vaengah Jesuh loh vaidam te a loh tih a uem tih a aeh. Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te a paek tih, “Doe uh lamtah ca uh, he tah kamah pum ni,” a ti nah.
During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it: it is my body."
27 Te phoeiah boengloeng te a loh tih a uem phoeiah amih te a doe tih, “Te te boeih o uh.
And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, "Drink from it, all of you;
28 He tah kamah kah paipi thii ni. A yet kah tholh khodawkngainah ham ni a long.
for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins--the blood which ratifies the Covenant.
29 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, tahae lamkah loh misur thaih he ka o loeng loeng mahpawh. Te khohnin a pha hlan atah a pa kah ram khui daengah ni nangmih taengah a thai la ka ok eh,” a ti nah.
I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom."
30 Te phoeiah a hlai doeah Olives tlang la cet uh.
So they sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh amih te, “He khoyin ah tah kai kongah nangmih boeih n'khah uh ni, 'Tudawn te ka tam vetih tuping dongkah tu tah taekyak uh ni'tila a daek coeng.
Then said Jesus, "This night all of you will stumble and fail in your fidelity to me; for it is written, 'I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered in all directions.'
32 Tedae kai ka thoh phoeiah Galilee la nangmih hmaiah ka lamhma ni,” a ti nah.
But after I have risen to life again I will go before you into Galilee."
33 Peter loh amah te a doo tih, “A cungkuem he nang kongah a khah uh akhaw kai tah n'khap mahpawh,” a ti nah.
"All may stumble and fail," said Peter, "but I never will."
34 Jesuh loh Peter taengah, “Nang taengah rhep kan thui, tu khoyin kah ai a khong hlanah kai he voei thum nan huek uh tak ni,” a ti nah.
"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will three times disown me."
35 Peter loh Jesuh taengah, “Nang taengah ka duek ham kuek cakhaw nang kan huek uh tak loeng loeng mahpawh,” a ti nah. Hnukbang rhoek long khaw boeih a ti uh van.
"Even if I must die with you," declared Peter, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested all the disciples.
36 Te phoeiah Jesuh tah hnukbang rhoek neh Gethsemene la a khue hmuen la pawk uh. Te vaengah hnukbang rhoek te, “He rhoek ana ngol uh dae ka cet tih ka thangthui phai narhuet ah,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, "Sit down here, whilst I go yonder and there pray."
37 Te vaengah Peter neh Zebedee kah ca rhoi te a khuen tih khothae neh khobing te a tong.
And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdi. Then He began to be full of anguish and distress,
38 Te vaengah amih te, “Ka hinglu loh dueknah te ngang a yaak coeng, heah ana naeh uh lamtah kai n'hak puei uh,” a ti nah.
and He said to them, "My soul is crushed with anguish to the very point of death; wait here, and keep awake with me."
39 Te phoeiah hawt lamhma phai tih a maelhmai neh bakop thuk. Te phoeiah thangthui tih, “A Pa a coeng thai atah hekah boengloeng he kai taeng lamkah loh khoe mai. Tedae kai ngaih banglam pawt tih namah ngaih bangla om saeh,” a ti.
Going forward a short distance He fell on His face and prayed. "My Father," He said, "if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou willest."
40 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te a paan hatah a ih uh te a hmuh. Te dongah Peter te, “Khonoek pakhat khaw kai taengah hak ham na noeng uh moenih a?” a ti nah.
Then He came to the disciples and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Alas, none of you could keep awake with me for even a single hour!
41 Cuekhalhnah khuiah na kun uh pawt ham hak lamtah thangthui uh. Mueihla loh a yakvawt ngawn dae pumsa tah tattloel pueng
Keep awake, and pray that you may not enter into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail."
42 Te phoeiah a pabae la cet tih thangthui. Te vaengah, “A pa he he poenghal ham neh ok pawt ham ni a coeng pawt oeh atah namah kongaih la om saeh,” a ti.
Again a second time He went away and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is impossible for this cup to pass without my drinking it, Thy will be done."
43 Te phoeiah koep ha pawk hatah amih a ih te a hmuh. Amih aka om rhoek te a mik loh bakba a hap sak.
He came and again found them asleep, for they were very tired.
44 Te dongah amih te sut a hlah tih a pathum na koep a caeh vaengah amah ol bangla koep a thui tih thangthui.
So He left them, and went away once more and prayed a third time, again using the same words.
45 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te a paan tih, “Yulh ip lamtah vawk mong uh, a tue yoei coeng tih hlang capa tah hlangtholh kut ah a voeih coeng he.
Then He came to the disciples and said, "Sleep on and rest. See, the moment is close at hand when the Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men.
46 Thoo uh, mawt uh thae sih. Kai aka voei tah ha yoei coeng he,” a ti nah.
Rouse yourselves. Let us be going. My betrayer is close at hand."
47 A cal li ah hlainit khuikah pakhat Judah te pakcak ha pawk. Te vaengah anih te hlangping a yet loh cunghang neh, thingboeng neh, khosoihham rhoek neh, pilnam kah a ham rhoek neh ham pueiuh.
He had scarcely finished speaking when Judas came--one of the Twelve--accompanied by a great crowd of men armed with swords and bludgeons, sent by the High Priests and Elders of the People.
48 Amah aka voei loh hlangping te miknoek a paek tih, “Ka mok te tah anih ni, anih te tuu uh,” a ti nah.
Now the betrayer had agreed upon a sign with them, to direct them. He had said, "The one whom I kiss is the man: lay hold of him."
49 Te dongah Jesuh te koe a paan tih, “Rhabbi, na sading saeh,” a ti na tih a mok.
So he went straight to Jesus and said, "Peace to you, Rabbi!" And he kissed Him eagerly.
50 Tedae Jesuh loh anih taengah, “Pueivan aw balae aka om?” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te a paan uh, kut a hlah thil uh tih a tuuk uh.
"Friend," said Jesus, "carry out your intention." Then they came and laid their hands on Jesus and seized Him firmly.
51 Te vaengah Jesuh taengkah pakhat loh kut a yueng tih a cunghang te a yueh. Te phoeiah khosoihham kah sal te a tloek tih a hna a pat pah.
But one of those with Jesus drew his sword and struck the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
52 Jesuh loh anih te, “Na cunghang te amah hmuen ah koep khueh laeh, cunghang aka muk boeih tah cunghang dongah poci uh ni.
"Put back your sword again," said Jesus, "for all who draw the sword shall perish by the sword.
53 A pa te khue ham coeng mahpawh tila na poek uh a? Puencawn caempuei caempa hlainit hlai pataeng kai ham pahoi a paisak ni ta.
Or do you suppose I cannot entreat my Father and He would instantly send to my help more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Te koinih, cacim loh a om ham a kuek te metlam a soep pai eh,” a ti nah.
In that case how are the Scriptures to be fulfilled which declare that thus it must be?"
55 Tekah a tue ah Jesuh loh hlangping te, “Kai tuuk ham thingboeng, cunghang neh dingca bangla nam paan uh, hnin takuem bawkim ah ka ngol tih ka thuituen vaengah kai nan tuuk uh pawt lae?
Then said Jesus to the crowds, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and bludgeons to apprehend me? Day after day I have been sitting teaching in the Temple, and you did not arrest me.
56 Tedae aka om boeih nen he ni tonghma rhoek kah cacim khaw a soep eh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te hnukbang rhoek loh boeih a toeng uh tih rhaelrham uh.
But all this has taken place in order that the writings of the Prophets may be fulfilled." At this point the disciples all left Him and fled.
57 Te vaengkah aka tuu rhoek loh Jesuh te khosoihham Kaiaphas taengah a khuen uh. Te rhoek ah cadaek rhoek neh a ham rhoek tah tingtun uh.
But the officers who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the High Priest, at whose house the Scribes and the Elders had assembled.
58 Peter loh khosoihham kah vongup duela hawt a vai. Te phoeiah hnuktloih te ming hamla a khuila kun tih tueihyoeih rhoek taengah ngol.
And Peter kept following Him at a distance, till he came even to the court of the High Priest's palace, where he entered and sat down among the officers to see the issue.
59 Khosoihham rhoek neh khoboei rhoek boeih loh Jesuh te ngawn hamla a hong a hi neh a paelnaeh thil uh.
Meanwhile the High Priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death;
60 A paelnaeh uh tloel vaengah laithae laidang neh muep a paan uh. Tedae a tloihsoi ah panit loh a paan tih,
but they could find none, although many false witnesses came forward. At length there came two
61 “Anih loh, 'Pathen kah bawkim te phae tih hnin thum ah ka sak thai,’ a ti,” a ti rhoi.
who testified, "This man said, 'I am able to pull down the Sanctuary of God and three days afterwards to build a new one.'"
62 Te vaengah khosoihham te pai tih, “Amih rhoi loh nang m'pael te na doo mapawt a?” a ti nah.
Then the High Priest stood up and asked Him, "Have you no answer to make? What is it these men are saying in evidence against you?"
63 Tedae Jesuh loh hil a phah. Khosoihham loh, “Nang he Pathen capa Khrih la na om tangtang atah kaimih taengah thui lah tila aka hing Pathen ming neh nang kan ti nah,” a ti nah.
Jesus however remained silent. Again the High Priest addressed Him. "In the name of the ever-living God," he said, "I now put you on your oath. Tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."
64 Jesuh loh anih te, “Namah loh na thui coeng. Tedae nangmih taengah ka thui, tahae lamloh Hlang Capa te thaomnah bantang ah ngol vetih vaan kah muei dongah ha pawk te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
"I am He," replied Jesus. "But I tell you that, later on, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Omnipotence, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
65 Te vaengah khosoihham loh a himbai te a phen tih, “A soehsal coeng, mebang laipai lae koep n'ngoe eh?, a soehsalnah khaw na yaak uh coeng he.
Then the High Priest tore his robes and exclaimed, "Impious language! What further need have we of witnesses! See, you have now heard the impiety.
66 Metlam na poek?” a ti nah. Te vaengah a doo uh tih, “A dueknah om kueluek saeh,” a ti uh.
What is your verdict?" "He deserves to die," they replied.
67 Te phoeiah Jesuh te a maelhmai ah a timthoeih uh tih a thoek uh.
Then they spat in His face, and struck Him--some with the fist, some with the open hand--
68 Te vaengkah aka bael rhoek loh, “Khrih nang, kaimih taengah phong lah, unim nang aka bael te,” a ti na uh.
while they taunted Him, saying, "Christ, prove yourself a Prophet by telling us who it was that struck you."
69 Tedae Peter tah vongup khuiah hoeih ngol. Te vaengah salnu pakhat loh anih te a paan tih, “Nang khaw Galilee kah Jesuh taengah na om,” a ti nah.
Peter meanwhile was sitting outside in the court of the palace, when one of the maidservants came over to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilaean."
70 Tedae hlang boeih hmaiah basa tih, “Na thui te ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
He denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."
71 Te phoeiah vongka la cet dae a tloe loh a hmuh tih tekah rhoek taengah, “Anih he Nazareth Jesuh taengah om,” a ti nah.
Soon afterwards he went out and stood in the gateway, when another girl saw him, and said, addressing the people there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."
72 Te vaengah, “Tekah hlang te ka ming moenih,” tila olhlo neh koep basa.
Again he denied it with an oath. "I do not know the man," he said.
73 Rhaih a om atah aka pai rhoek loh Peter te a paan uh tih, “Namah khaw amih kah hlang rhep ni, namah kah olcal long mah nang m'mingpha sak coeng,” a ti na uh.
A short time afterwards the people standing there came and said to Peter, "Certainly you too are one of them, for your brogue shows it."
74 Tedae pahoi thae a phoei tih, “Tekah hlang te ka ming moenih, “tila a toemngam vaengah ai tlek khong.
Then with curses and oaths he declared, "I do not know the man." Immediately a cock crowed,
75 Te vaengah Peter loh Jesuh kah olka, “Ai a khong hlanah kai voei thum nan huek uh tak ni,” a ti nah te poek. Te dongah phawn cet tih hlawk hlawk rhap.
and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, how He had said, "Before the cock crows you will three times disown me." And he went out and wept aloud, bitterly.
