Luka 22
1 Lyaŵandichile lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya mikate jangatajikwa chilungo lyalikuŵilanjikwa Pasaka.
It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
2 Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaliji nkusosa itajile pakwaulaga Che Yesu nambo ŵaliji nkwajogopa ŵandu.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were seeking a way to kill Jesus. [But they wanted to do it secretly], because they were afraid that if [they did not do] it secretly, the people [might riot].
3 Nipele Shetani ŵanjinjile che Yuda jwakuŵilanjikwa Isikaliote, jumo jwa achinduna kumi na mbili ŵala.
Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
4 Che Yuda ŵajawile ni kuŵechetesyana ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulungwa ŵa ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu itajile pakwakamusya kwakamula Che Yesu.
Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize [Jesus].
5 Nombewo ŵasengwile ni kwilana nawo kuti chiŵape mbiya.
They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
6 Che Yuda ŵajitichisye ni kutanda kusosa lipesa lyambone lyakwakamusya kwakamula Che Yesu pangali kumanyilila ŵandu.
So he agreed, [and they gave him the money]. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus] when there was no crowd around him.
7 Nipele, lyaiche lyuŵa lya mikate jangatajikwa chilungo. Iyoyo peyo ni lyuŵa lyalikusachilwa kusikita mwanangondolo jwa Pasaka.
Then the day during the [first part of the week-long festival] of Unleavened Bread came, [the day] when [the] lambs [for the] Passover [celebration] had to be killed.
8 Che Yesu ŵaatumile che Petulo ni che Yohana achitiji, “Njaulangane nkatukulumichisye chakulya cha Pasaka kuti tulye.”
So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
9 Nombewo ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana nkusaka tukachikolochesye kwapi?”
They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
10 Ni ŵajanjile, “Mpilikanile! Pachinkajinjile pa musi po, chinkasimane ni jwannume ali atwichile lulo lwa meesi. Nkaakuye ŵelewo mpaka mu nyuumba jichakajinjile.
He said to the [two of] them, “Listen carefully. When you [two] enter the city, a man who is carrying a [large] jar of water will meet you. Follow him. [When] he enters [a house],
11 Mwasalile asyene nyuumba jo, ‘Jwakwiganya akummusya, chili kwapi chuumba muchingalile chakulya cha Pasaka pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵangu?’
tell the owner of the house, ‘[Our] teacher says [that we(exc) should] ask [you(sg) to please] show [us] the room that [he arranged with you] where he can eat the Passover [meal] with [us], his disciples [RHQ].’
12 Nombewo chakannosye chuumba chachikulungwa cha penani chachili ni indu yose yaikusachilwa mu chuumba. Nkakulumisye mwelemo.”
He will show you a large room that is on the upper [floor of the house]. It will be all set up [for a meal]. Prepare the meal for us there.”
13 Ŵajawile ni ŵaisimene indu yose ili mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu, nombewo ŵakulumisye chakulya cha Pasaka.
So [the two disciples] went [into the city]. They found everything to be just like [Jesus] had told them. So they prepared [the meal for] the Passover [celebration there].
14 Pakaiche katema, Che Yesu ŵatemi kulya pamo ni achinduna ŵakwe.
When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
15 Ŵasalile, “Najile kwannope kulya chakulya cha Pasaka pamo ni ŵanyamwe nganime kulagaswa.
He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
16 Pakuŵa ngunsalila kuti, nguulya sooni chakulya cha Pasaka mpaka pachiŵe isyene mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
I want you to know that I will not eat [the Passover meal] again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize [what it represents].”
17 Nipele Che Yesu ŵajigele chikombe ni paŵamasile kwatogolela Akunnungu ŵatite, “Mpochele ni mpelegane mwachimisyene.
Then he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.
18 Pakuŵa ngunsalila kuti, chitandile sambano ngaang'wa sooni divai mpaka pachiuiche Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
I want you to know that [from now on] I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”
19 Sooni ŵajigele nkate ni kwatogolela Akunnungu, ŵagaŵenye ni kwapa achitiji, “Chelechi ni chiilu changu chachikutyochekwa ligongo lyenu. Ntendeje yeleyi kwa kungumbuchila une.”
Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them [to eat]. He said, “This [bread represents] my body, which [I] am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on [eating bread] this way [regularly] to remember what I [have done for you].”
20 Iyoyo peyo paŵamasile kulya ni ŵajigele chikombe achitiji, “Achi chikombechi lili lilangano lya sambano lya Akunnungu lyalikutendekwa kwa miasi jangu jajikwitika kwa ligongo lyenu.
Similarly, after [they had eaten] the meal, he took [another] cup [of wine]. He said, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body when I die]. [With] this blood [I will sign] the new agreement [that God is making with] you.
21 “Nambo, nnole! Jwejula jwakung'alauka ali papapa akulya pamo ni une.
But [note that] the one [SYN] who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!
22 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu chajaule kukuulagwa mpela iŵasachile Akunnungu, nambo ulaje uŵe kwa mundu jwakungalauka jo.”
[It is certain that I], the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what [God] has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will (betray me/enable my enemies to seize me)!”
23 Pelepo ŵatandite kuusyana achinsyene pe, ana ŵaani ŵelewo uchatende chele chinducho!
Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
24 Gatyochele makani pasikati ja ŵakulijiganya gankati ŵaani jwali jwankulungwa kupunda ŵane.
[The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
25 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mamwenye ŵa pachilambo akwalamula ŵandu ŵao kwa machili, nombe ŵakwete ulamusi pachanya pao akuliŵilanga, ‘achambusanga ŵa ŵandu’.
So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. [Yet] they give [themselves] the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
26 Nambo inaŵe yeleyo kukwenu, jwali jwankulungwa aŵeje nti jwannandi mwa wose ni jwali chilongola aŵeje nti jwakutumichila.
But you should not be like them! Instead, those who [want God to consider them] the greatest should [act as though they] were the youngest, [since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones]. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves [the others].
27 Pakuŵa, ŵaani jwali jwankulungwa, jwatemi kulya pane jwakutumichila? Isyene ni jwejula jwatemi paasi kulya! Nambo une ndili pasikati jenu mpela jwakutumichila.
Keep in mind who is the most important one [RHQ]. It is certainly the one who [just sits] at the table, not [RHQ] those who serve [the meal]. But I, [your leader], have been [an example for you] by serving you [while I have been] among you.
28 “Ŵanyamwe ni untemiji pamo ni une katema kose kakulinjikwa kwangune.
You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
29 Mpela ila Atati ŵangu iŵatite pakuumba une ulamusi wa umwenye kulamula iyoyo peyo noneji ngumpa ulamusi wa kulamula.
So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
30 Kuti ndye ni kung'wa pamo ni une mu Umwenye wangu. Chintame mu itengu ya Umwenye nchilamulaga ngosyo kumi na mbili sya Ŵaisilaeli.”
so that you can sit and eat [and rule] [MET] with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Che Simoni, che Simoni! Mpilikane! Shetani aŵendile luusa kwa Akunnungu ja kunlinga ŵanyamwe mpela mundu yakuti kupeta ngano alole iŵaga chimpunde kuŵa ŵakulupilichika.
“Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked [God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress] (OR, [distress you]) [so that you will not believe/trust in me any more/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it] [MET].
32 Nambo une nampopelele mmwe kuti chikulupi chenu chikapunguka. Nomwe pachimumujilile sooni, mwalimbisye mitima achinjenu.”
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you [(sg)] restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles [to trust in me more]!”
33 Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, une ndili chile kutaŵikwa pamo nomwe ni kuwa pamo nomwejo.”
Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you [(sg)] if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”
34 Nambo Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Ngunsalila mwe che Petulo, lelo jino jikanaŵe kutongola tambala chimungane katatu kuti ngankuumanyilila une.”
Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you [(sg)] to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
35 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Panantumile pangali chilolo ni nsaku ni ilatu ine pala ana mwasoŵikwe ni chichi?” Ni ŵanjanjile, “Ngapagwa.”
Then [Jesus] asked all of them, “After I sent you out [to other villages, and you went] without taking any money or a [traveling] bag or [extra] sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “[That’s right], [we(exc) did] not [lack] anything.”
36 Nombe Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nambo sambano, jwakwete chilolo ajigale ni nsaku iyoyo peyo. Ni jwanganakola lipanga, asumisye mwinjilo wao akasume limo.
Then, [to show them that now many people would oppose them], (OR, [to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves], ) he said to them, “Now [things will be different. So] whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.
37 Ilembechekwe Mmalembo ga Akunnungu, ‘Ŵaŵalanjikwe ali jumo jwao pasikati ŵandu ŵa sambi.’ Ngunsalila yeleyi Malembelo gakusachilwa gaŵe isyene kwa une, pakuŵa uumi wangu ukuichila kumbesi.”
Because, I now tell you, [something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet] wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as [though he were] a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me [in the Scriptures] must be fulfilled.”
38 Ŵakulijiganya ŵatite, “Ambuje, nnole, apano tukwete mapanga gaŵilipe.” Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Ayaga!”
[One of] the disciples said, “Lord, look! We [(exc)] have two swords!” [Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said], he replied to them, “That is enough [talk about swords]”!
39 Che Yesu ŵatyosile ni kwaula pa chitumbi cha Miseituni mpela iŵatite pakusyoŵelela ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakuiye.
As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
40 Paŵaiche pelepo, ŵaasalile ŵanyawo, “Mpopele kuti nkajinjila nkulinjikwa.”
When he came to the place [where he often spent the night], he said to them, “Pray that [God will help you] whenever something tempts you.”
41 Nipele, ŵalesile ŵanyawo ni ŵajawile kwati mundu nkukombola kuponya liganga ni ŵatindiŵele ni kupopela.
Then he went from them a distance of about 30 meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,
42 Ni ŵatiji, “Atati, mwasakaga mundyochesye achi chikombe cha malagasyo, nambo gankugasaka mmwe gapanganyikwe ni ngaŵa kwa kusaka kwangu.”
“[My] Father, if you are willing [to do it], force me [to have to undergo] these terrible things that [are about to happen to me] [MTY]. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”
43 Pele katumetume jwa kwinani jwakopochele ni kwataga machili.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
44 Che Yesu ŵaliji mchipwetesi chachikulungwa ni ŵapundile kupopela kwannope. Chitukuta chatyosile ni chaliji mpela mandondwa ga miasi gagaliji nkwilima mpaka paasi.
He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.
45 Paŵamasile kupopela, ŵajimwiche ni kwajaulila ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵasimene nnugono ligongo ŵaliji nkusupuka.
When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.
46 Ŵaasalile, “Ana ligongo chi nkugona? Njimuche ni kupopela kuti nkajinjila nkulinjikwa.”
He [woke them and] said to them, “(I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?) [RHQ] Get up! Pray that [God will help you] whenever you are tempted {when something [like this] tempts you}!”
47 Che Yesu paŵaliji nkuŵecheta, mpingo wa ŵandu waiche uchilongolelwaga ni che Yuda juŵaliji jumo jwa achinduna kumi na mbili. Che Yuda ŵajawile ni kwakomasya Che Yesu kwa kwanonyela.
While [Jesus] was still speaking, a crowd [came to him]. Judas, [even though he was] one of the twelve [disciples], was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him [on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus].
48 Nambo Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Che Yuda! Ana nkungalauka Mwana jwa Mundu kwa chikomasyo cha ngomo mmajeje?”
Jesus said to him, “Judas, (I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me [as though you loved me] that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ]”
49 Ŵele ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu paŵaimanyi ichityochele ni ŵatite, “Ambuje, twakunule ni mapanga?”
When the [disciples] who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we [(exc)] strike [them] with our swords?”
50 Ni jumo jwao ŵankunwile kapolo jwa jwankulungwa jwambopesi ni kwakapa lipikanilo lya kundyo.
One of his [drew his sword and] struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him, but only] cut off his right ear.
51 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaŵechete, “Nneche! Ikwanile.” Ni ŵalikwaiye lipikanilo lya jwele mundu jo ni kunnamya.
But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
52 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile achakulu ŵambopesi ni achakulungwa ŵa ŵakulindilila nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni achachekulu uŵaikangene kukwakamula, “Ana nnyiche ni mapanga ni imbonga kukungamula mpela ndili jwachiswamba?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the Temple guards, and the [Jewish] elders who had come to [seize] him, “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as [if I were] a bandit!/Why have you come here with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day [I was with you] in the Temple [courtyard], [and] you did not seize me! But this is the time [MTY] when [God is allowing] you [to do what you want]. It is also the time [MTY] when God is allowing [Satan, who rules] [MTY] [in] the darkness, [to do what he wants].”
53 Panaliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nganimungamula. Nambo aka ni katema kenu, katema ka jwaulamusi wa chipi.”
54 Nipele ŵankamwile ŵanjigele ni kwajausya ku nyuumba ja Jwankulu Jwambopesi. Che Petulo ŵankuiye chakunyuma kwakutalichila.
They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
55 Ŵakolesisye mooto pasikati lwani, ŵatemi pamo nombe che Petulo ŵaiche ni kutama pamo nawo.
They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
56 Kapolo jumo jwankongwe, paŵammweni che Petulo ali atemi chiŵandi ni mooto wo ŵaalolechesye kwannope ni kuti, “Ni mundu ju nombe ŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu.”
As the light [from the fire] shone [on his face, a] female servant saw him and looked intently at him. She said, “This man was also with [the man whom they have arrested]!”
57 Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile achitiji, “Mmwe jwankongwe, ngangummanyilila jwelejo!”
But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
58 Kanyuma kanandi, mundu jwine ŵammweni che Petulo ni ŵatite, “Ni mmwe ŵakwe nndi jumo jwao.” Nambo che Petulo ŵanjanjile “Alakwe ngaŵa une!”
A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You [(sg)] also are one of those who [were with] the man [they arrested]!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not [one of them]!”
59 Mpela lisaa limo mmbujo, mundu jwine ŵaŵechete achitiji, “Isyene nguti, aju mundu ju nombe ŵaliji pamo nawo pakuŵa jwelejo nombe ali Mgalilaya.”
About an hour later someone else said emphatically [about Peter], “[The way] that this man [speaks shows that he] is from Galilee [district]. Certainly this man was also with the man whom [they arrested, who is from Galilee]!”
60 Nambo che Petulo ŵatite, “Alakwe, nganguchimanyilila chinkuŵecheta cho!” Papopo akanaŵe kumalisya kuŵecheta, tambala jatongwele.
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you [(sg)] are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 Ambuje ŵagalawiche ni kwalolechesya che Petulo, nombe che Petulo ŵagakumbuchile maloŵe ga Ambuje gaŵansalile, “Chilo cha lelo jino jikanaŵe kutongola tambala, chimungane katatu.”
The Lord [Jesus] turned around and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “This night, before the rooster crows, you [(sg)] will deny three times [that you know] me.”
62 Pelepo ŵakopweche paasa ni ŵalisile kwa nnope.
And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
63 Ŵandu uŵankamwile Che Yesu ŵala, ŵatandite kwatendela chanache ni kwagomba.
The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
64 Ŵantaŵile chiguo ku meeso ni ŵammusisye, “Nsagamukule, Ana ŵaani ŵangombile mmwe?”
They put a blindfold on him and [beat him again. Then] they said to him, “[Because you(sg) say] [IRO] that you are a prophet, [prove it by] telling us who it was that struck you!”
65 Ŵammechetele maloŵe gamajinji ga kwatukana.
They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
66 Pakwachele, nkungulu wa achachekulu ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵasimene pamo, ni ŵannyichenawo Che Yesu pankungulu wao wekulungwa wa Chiyahudi.
At dawn [the next morning], many of the [Jewish] leaders gathered together. The group included the chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They took Jesus to the Jewish Council. There the men of the Council said to him,
67 Ni ŵausisye “Ntusalile! Ana mmwejo ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Atamuno nansalilaga, ngamungulupilila ng'oo,
“If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
68 sooni, natamuno nammusyaga liusyo, ngamunyanga.
If I ask you [what you think about the Messiah], you will not answer me.
69 Nambo chitandile sambano, Mwana jwa Mundu chatame kundyo kwa Akunnungu ŵaali ni Machili.”
But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
70 Pelepo wose ŵammusisye, “Ni kuti mmwejo ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu?” Ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe nkutinji ndili une.”
Then they all said, “If that is so, are [you(sg) saying that] you are (the Son of God/the Man who is also God)?” He said to them, “[Yes], it is just like you say [MTY].”
71 Nombewo ŵatite, “Ana umboni chi sooni utukusaka? Pakuŵa tupilikene twachinsyene achiŵechetaga pakang'wa jakwe asyene!”
Then they said [to each other], “(We [(inc)] certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against him]!/Why should we ask for any more people to testify [against him]?) [RHQ]” We ourselves have heard him say [MTY] [that he is equal with God]!
