< Maliko 14 >
1 Gasigalile moŵa gaŵili likanaŵe lyuŵa lya chindimba cha Pasaka ni chindimba cha mikate jangataga amila. Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaliji nkusosa itajile pakwakamula Che Yesu, mwangamanyilila jwalijose ni kummulaga.
It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death:
2 Ŵatite, “Tukatenda yeleyo katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka, kuti ŵandu akatindiganya.”
But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear there may be trouble among the people.
3 Che Yesu ŵaliji ku Besania, kumusi ku che Simoni juŵaliji jwamatana. Paŵalyaga, ŵaiche jwankongwe jumo juŵaliji ni chuupa chachikolochekwe ni liganga lyalikuŵilanjikwa alabasta, chachili ni mauta ga kununjila nnope ga ntengo wekulungwa gagakuŵilanjikwa nado. Ŵakasile chuupa cho, ni kwajitila mauta Che Yesu mu ntwe.
And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.
4 Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵaŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu yachimile achitiji, “Kwachichi akugajonanga mauta ga ntengo ga?
But some of them were angry among themselves, saying, For what purpose has this oil been wasted?
5 Ngati akasumisye mauta ga ni kupata mbiya syasijinji ni kwapa ŵandu ŵakulaga!” Nipele ŵankalipile kwannope jwankongwe jo.
We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.
6 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Munneche! Nkunsauchisya ichichi? Jweleju ambanganyichisye chindu chambone.
But Jesus said, Let her be; why are you troubling her? she has done a kind act to me.
7 Ŵandu ŵakulaga chaŵe ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose, iŵaga nkusaka kwakamuchisya nkukombola. Nambo une nguŵa ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose.
The poor you have ever with you, and whenever you have the desire you may do them good: but me you have not for ever.
8 Jweleju atesile yakombwele. Alongolele kuchijitilila mauta chiilu changu, kuchiŵika chile, gakanaŵe masiiko gangu.
She has done what she was able: she has put oil on my body to make it ready for its last resting-place.
9 Isyene ngunsalila, kwakulikose pachilambo pachijilalichikwe Ngani Jambone ni achi chatesile jwankongwe ju chichisalichikwe kwakwakumbuchila.”
And truly I say to you, Wherever the good news goes out through all the earth, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.
10 Nipele, che Yuda Isikaliote, jumo jwa achinduna kumi na mbili ŵala, ŵajawile kwa achakulu ŵambopesi kuti akombole kwagalauka Che Yesu.
And Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might give him up to them.
11 Achakulu ŵambopesi ŵasangalele pakupikana ngani jo, ni ŵannanjile kuti chiŵaape mbiya. Nipele che Yuda ŵasosile lipesa lyambone lya kungalauka Che Yesu.
And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.
12 Pa lyuŵa lya kutanda lya chindimba cha mikate jangataga Amila, katema paŵasikitaga mwanangondolo jwa Pasaka, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye, “Ana kwapi nkusaka tukachikolochesye chakulya cha Pasaka?”
And on the first day of unleavened bread, when the Passover lamb is put to death, his disciples said to him, Where are we to go and make ready for you to take the Passover meal?
13 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaatumile ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵaasalile, “Njaule mu musi, ni mwelemo chinkasimane ni jwannume ali atwichile lulo lwa meesi. Nkankuye
And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;
14 mpaka nyuumba jichakajinjile, nkansalile nsyene nyuumba jo, ‘Jwakwiganya akummusya, chili kwapi chuumba muchingalile chakulya cha Pasaka pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵangu?’
And wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house, The Master says, Where is my guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?
15 Nombejo chakannosye chuumba chachikulungwa cha penani chachili chile ni kupambwa. Nkatukulumichisye mwelemo.”
And he will take you up himself to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready for us.
16 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵatyosile, ni kwaula mmusi, ŵaisimene yose ili mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu. Nombewo ŵakulumisye chakulya cha Pasaka.
And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.
17 Kuli kuswele, Che Yesu ŵaiche pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili.
And when it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 Paŵaliji aninkulya, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Isyene ngunsalila, jumo mwa ŵanyamwe jwakulya pamo ni une, chang'alauche.”
And while they were seated taking food, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you will be false to me, one who is taking food with me.
19 Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatandite kusupuka, ni ŵatandite kummusya jumojumo, “Ana ndili une?”
They were sad, and said to him one by one, Is it I?
20 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jumo mwa ŵanyamwe kumi na mbili, jwakupamba nkate wakwe mu mbale pamo ni une.
And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one who is putting his bread with me into the same plate.
21 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu chawe mpela iilembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela nkati ŵelewo. Nambo chalaje mundu jwakungalauka Mwana jwa Mundu! Ikaliji mmbaya mundu jo ngakapagwe!”
The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up! It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth.
22 Paŵalyaga, Che Yesu ŵajigele nkate, ŵatogolele Akunnungu, ŵaugaŵenye ni kwapa ŵakulijiganya ŵao, achitiji, “Mpochele, nlyanje, chelechi ni chiilu changu.”
And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.
23 Sooni ŵajigele chikombe cha divai, ŵatogolele Akunnungu, ni kwapa, ni wose ŵang'welele divai mu chikombe cho.
And he took a cup, and when he had given praise, he gave it to them: and they all had a drink from it.
24 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jeleji ni miasi jangu ja lilangano lya Akunnungu, jajikwitika kwa ligongo lya kwalechelesya ŵandu ŵajinji.
And he said to them, This is my blood of the testament, which is given for men.
25 Isyene ngunsalila, ngung'wa sooni divai mpaka lyuŵa paching'we divai jasambano mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
Truly I say to you, I will take no more of the fruit of the vine till the day when I take it new in the kingdom of God.
26 Paŵamasile kwimba lujimbo lwa kwatogolela Akunnungu, ŵatyosile kwaula ku Chikwesya chachigumbele itela ya Miseituni.
And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives.
27 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ŵanyamwe wose chimmutuche ni kuuneka, pakuŵa Mmalembelo Gamaswela Akunnungu akuti, ‘Chinambulaje jwakuchinga, ni ngondolo sisipwilingane.’
And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight.
28 Nambo pachinjisyuka, chinjinnongolela kwaula ku Galilaya.”
But after I have come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 Che Petulo ŵansalile, “Atamuno annekaga wose, une ngangunneka ng'oo!”
But Peter said to him, Though the others may be turned away from you, I will not.
30 Che Yesu ŵansalile che Petulo, “Isyene ngunsalila, chilo cha lelo chino, tambala jikanaŵe kutongola kaŵili, chimungane katatu kuti ngankuumanyilila.”
And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
31 Nambo che Petulo ŵapundile kulimbila kuti, “Atamuno iŵaga ngusachilwa kuwa pamo nomwe ngangunneka ng'oo!” Ni ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala ŵaŵechete iyoyo peyo.
But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.
32 Ŵaichenje pa ngunda wa mwana waukuŵilanjikwa Getesemane, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ntamanje apano katema pangwaula kukwapopela Akunnungu.”
And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Be seated here while I say a prayer.
33 Nipele ŵaajigele che Petulo ni che Yakobo ni che Yohana, ŵatandite kusupuka kwannope ni kupotekwa mu ntima.
And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.
34 Ni ŵaasalile, “Ngupotekwa kwannope mu ntima ni chipwetesi chachikukombola kumulaga. Ntamanje apano ni kuŵa meeso pe.”
And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.
35 Nipele ŵajawile mmbujo kanandi, ni ŵagwile manguuku, ŵapopelele kuti, yakombolekaga anajinjile mu katema ka malagasyo ko.
And he went forward a little, and falling down on the earth, made request that, if possible, the hour might go from him.
36 Ni ŵatite, “Atati wangu, yose ikukomboleka kukwenu. Mundyochesye chikombe cha malagasyo chi. Ngaŵa mpela ingusaka une, nambo mpela inkusaka mmwe.”
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me: but even so let not my pleasure, but yours be done.
37 Nipele, ŵausile kwa ŵakulijiganya ŵatatu ŵala, ni ŵaasimene agonile. Ŵammusisye che Petulo, “Che Simoni, uli ngonile? Nganinkombola kutama meeso pe namose saa jimo?”
And he came, and saw them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to keep watch one hour?
38 Nipele ŵaasalile, “Ntamanje meeso pe ni kupopela kuti nkajinjila nkulinjikwa. Pakuŵa ntima ukusaka kupanganya yambone, nambo chiilu chilepetele.”
Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.
39 Ŵajawile sooni kukupopela achiujilaga maloŵe gagogo pego.
And again he went away, and said a prayer, using the same words.
40 Paŵausile sooni, ŵasimene ŵakulijiganya ŵala ali agonile, ligongo ŵatopelwe ni lugono. Nombewo nganachimanyilila chakwajanga Che Yesu.
And again he came and saw them sleeping, because their eyes were very tired; and they had nothing to say in answer.
41 Kaatatu paŵaichilile ŵaasalile, “Ana ndi chigonele ni kupumulila? Sambano njimuche! Nnole, saa jiiche Mwana jwa Mundu akutajikwa mmakono ga ŵandu ŵaali ni sambi.
And he came the third time, and said to them, Go on sleeping now and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; see, the Son of man is given up into the hands of evil men.
42 Njimuchanje, twende. Nnole mundu jwakung'alauka aŵandichile.”
Get up, let us be going; see, he who gives me up is near.
43 Che Yesu paŵaliji nkuŵecheta, che Yuda, jumo jwa achinduna kumi na mbili, ŵaiche. Ŵaiche ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaŵatumikwe ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni achachekulu, ali ajigele mapanga ni imbonga.
And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority.
44 Che Yuda jwakugalauka jula ŵapele ŵanyawo chimanyisyo chi, “Ajula juchingankomasye kwa kwanonyela ni jujojo junkunsaka. Munkamule ni kunlindilila.”
Now he who had been false to him had given them a sign, saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he; take him, and get him away safely.
45 Che Yuda paŵaiche pe, papopo ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwasalila, “Jwakwiganya!” Nipele ŵankomasisye kwa unonyelo.
And when he had come, he went straight to him and said, Master; and gave him a kiss.
46 Nipele ŵandu ŵala ŵankamwile Che Yesu ni kuntaŵa.
And they put their hands on him, and took him.
47 Nambo jumo jwa ŵeŵala uŵajimi pelepo pamo ni Che Yesu, ŵasolomwele lipanga lyakwe ni kumputila kapolo jwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu, ni ŵankapile liwiwi.
But a certain one of those who were near took out his sword, and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.
48 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ana nnyiche ni mapanga ni imbonga kukungamula mpela ila une ndili jwachiswamba?
And Jesus said to them, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks to take me?
49 Moŵa gose naliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe njijiganyaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nganimungamula. Nambo sambano ngaleche Malembelo ga Akunnungu gamalile.”
I was with you every day in the Temple teaching, and you did not take me; but this is done so that the Writings may come true.
50 Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵao wose ŵannesile ni kulukunula.
And they all went away from him in fear.
51 Jwapali jwanchanda jumo juŵaliji nkwakuya Che Yesu ali aliŵagele shuka pe. Ni ŵanyawo ŵasachile kunkamula,
And a certain young man went after him, with only a linen cloth about his body; and they put their hands on him;
52 nambo jwanchanda jula ŵapelete, ŵalesile shuka jila ni kutila matakope.
But he got away unclothed, without the linen cloth.
53 Nipele, ŵampeleche Che Yesu ku nyuumba ja Jwambopesi Jwankulu, kuŵasongangene achakulu ŵambopesi wose ni achachekulu ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo.
And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.
54 Che Petulo ŵankuiye Che Yesu kwakutalichila, ŵajinjile mu lutenje lwa nyuumba ja Jwambopesi Jwankulu. Pelepo ŵatemi pamo ni ŵakulindilila achijotelaga mooto.
And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.
55 Nipele, achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵandu ŵane wose pa Nkungulu pala ŵasosile umboni wa kummechetela Che Yesu kuti ŵaulaje, nambo wasoŵile.
Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.
56 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵechetele Che Yesu umboni wa unami, nambo umboni wao nganiujilana.
For a number gave false witness against him and their witness was not in agreement.
57 Nipele ŵane wajimi ni kuŵecheta umboni wa unami, achitiji,
Then some got up and gave false witness against him, saying,
58 “Twampilikene ali nkuŵecheta, ‘Une chinajigumule Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji, jajitaŵikwe ni ŵandu ni kutaŵa kwa moŵa gatatu jine jangataŵikwa ni ŵandu.’”
He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.
59 Namose yeleyo, umboni wao nganiujilana.
And even so their witness was not in agreement.
60 Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵajimi paujo pa ŵandu ni kwausya Che Yesu, “Uli, ngankwanga chachili chose kwa wele umboni ŵakumbechetela wo?”
And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?
61 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaliji jii, nganaŵecheta chachili chose. Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵammusisye sooni, “Ana mmweji ni Kilisito, Mwana jwa Akunnungu Ŵakulu?”
But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?
62 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Elo, ndili une. Sooni, chinchimmona Mwana jwa Mundu ali atemi kundyo kwa Akunnungu ŵa machili, ali nkwika mmaunde ga kwinani.”
And Jesus said, I am: and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
63 Jwambopesi Jwankulu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵapapwile mwinjilo wakwe achitiji, “Ngatukusaka sooni umboni wine nkati mundu ju!
And the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, What more need have we of witnesses?
64 Mumpilikene yatite pakwatukana Akunnungu! Ŵanyamwe nkuti uli?” Wose ŵanlamwile aulajikwe.
His words against God have come to your ears: what is your opinion? And they all said it was right for him to be put to death.
65 Ŵandu ŵane ŵatandite kunsunila mata Che Yesu, ni ŵansiŵilile mmeeso ni ŵamputile ni kunsalila, “Nlondole, nduni jwamputile!” Iyoyo peyo ŵakulindilila ŵanjigele ni kumputa majanda.
And some put shame on him and, covering his face, gave him blows and said to him, Now say what is to come: and the captains took him and gave him blows with their hands.
66 Che Petulo paŵaliji chiŵela mu lutenje, ŵaiche mwali jumo mwa achikatumetume ŵa Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
And while Peter was down in the open square of the building, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came;
67 Paŵammweni che Petulo achijotelaga mooto, ŵankolondolele ni kunsalila, “Nombe mmwejo iyoyo mwaliji pamo ni Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti.”
And seeing Peter warming himself by the fire, she gave him a look, and said, You were with this Nazarene, even Jesus.
68 Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile achitiji, “Ngangwamanya namose nganguchimanyilila chinkuŵecheta cho.” Nipele ŵakopweche paasa, papopo tambala jatongwele.
But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock.
69 Mwali jula ŵammweni sooni che Petulo, ŵatandite kwasalila ŵandu uŵajimi pelepo, “Mundu ju ali jumo jwao.”
And the girl saw him, and said again to those who were near, This is one of them.
70 Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile sooni. Pangakaŵa, ŵandu uŵajimi pelepo ŵaasalile che Petulo, “Isyene mmwe ndi jumo jwao, pakuŵa mmwejo nombe ndi mundu jwa ku Galilaya.”
But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean.
71 Nambo che Petulo ŵatandite kusala, “Nweseche iŵaga ngusala unami, ngulumbilila kuti, isyene ngangummanyilila mundu ju junkungamba.”
But, with curses and oaths, he said, I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking.
72 Papopo pepo tambala jatongwele kaaŵili. Che Petulo ŵalikumbuchile liloŵe li Che Yesu liŵaasalile, “Tambala jikanaŵe kutongola kaŵili, chimungane katatu.” Nipele ŵaligwisisye paasi ni kulila.
And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.
