Mathayo 27
1 Gokinyi mangʼich, jodolo madongo duto gi jodong oganda noporo wach ni mondo gineg Yesu.
At daybreak all the Chief Priests and the Councillors of the Nation consulted together against Jesus, to bring about his death.
2 Ne gitweye mi gitere nyaka ne gichiwe e lwet Pilato, mane en ruoth.
They put him in chains and led him away, and gave him up to the Roman Governor, Pilate.
3 Ka Judas, ngʼat mane ondhoge oneno ka osengʼadne Yesu buch tho, luoro nomake mi nodwoko pesa mamingli mag fedha piero adek ne jodolo madongo gi jodongo,
Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that Jesus was condemned, repented of what he had done, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the Chief Priests and Councillors.
4 kowacho niya, “Aseketho, nimar asendhogo remo maonge ketho.” To negidwoke niya, “Mano obadhowa e angʼo? Mano en wachni iwuon.”
“I did wrong in betraying a good man to his death,” he said. “What has that to do with us?” they replied. “You must see to that yourself.”
5 Omiyo Judas nowito pesago ei hekalu bangʼe oa odhi. Eka nodhi modere.
Judas flung down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and left; and went away and hanged himself.
6 Jodolo madongo nokwanyo ngʼinjo mag fedhago kendo giwacho niya, “Chik ok oyie mondo okan gini kar keno, nikech en pesa remo.”
The Chief Priests took the pieces of silver, but they said: “We must not put them into the Temple treasury, because they are blood-money.”
7 Omiyo ne giporo wach mondo giti gi pesago kuom ngʼiewo puoth jachwe agulni mondo obed kama iyike jodak.
So, after consultation, they bought with them the ‘Potter’s Field’ for a burial-ground for foreigners;
8 Mano emomiyo osebedo kiluongo kanyo ni puoth remo nyaka kawuono.
and that is why that field is called the ‘Field of Blood’ to this very day.
9 Eka gima Jeremia janabi nowacho niya, “Negikawo pesa mamingli mag fedha moromo piero adek, mane en nengo mane jo-Israel oketone,
Then it was that these words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled — ‘They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom some of the people of Israel valued,
10 kendo negitiyo kodgi kuom ngʼiewo puoth jachwe agulni, kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochika,” nochopo kare.
and gave them for the Potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.’
11 E thuolono Yesu nochungʼ e nyim ruoth, kendo ruoth nopenje niya, “In e ruodh jo-Yahudi koso?” To Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ee, en kaka iwachono.”
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. “Are you the King of the Jews?” asked the Governor. “It is true,” answered Jesus.
12 Kane jodolo madongo gi jodongo odonjone, ne ok odwoko gimoro amora.
While charges were being brought against him by the Chief Priests and Councillors, Jesus made no reply.
13 Eka Pilato nopenje niya, “Donge iwinjo neno ma jogi donjonigoni?”
Then Pilate said to him: “Do not you hear how many accusations they are making against you?”
14 To Yesu nolingʼ alingʼa ma ok odwoke kata wach achiel mane odonjnego, kendo mano nomiyo ruoth owuoro ahinya.
Yet Jesus made no reply — not even a single word; at which the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 To ruoth nohero gonyo ne oganda ngʼat achiel motwe e kinde mag sawo mar Pasaka.
Now, at the Feast, the Governor was accustomed to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might choose.
16 E ndalono ne gin gi ngʼat motwe ma achach mane iluongo ni Barabas.
At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Omiyo ka oganda nosechokore kaachiel, Pilato nopenjogi niya, “En ngʼat mane mudwaro mondo agonynu: Barabas koso Yesu miluongo ni Kristo?”
So, when the people had collected, Pilate said to them: “Which do you wish me to release for you? Barabbas? Or Jesus who is called ‘Christ’?”
18 Nimar nongʼeyo ni ich lit ema nomiyo giketo Yesu e lwete.
For he knew that it was out of jealousy that they had given Jesus up to him.
19 Kane oyudo Pilato obet e kom jongʼad bura, chiege nokowone wach niya, “Walri iaye wach ngʼat maonge kethono, nimar wachne nochanda ahinya kawuono e lek mane aleko kuome.”
While he was still on the Bench, his wife sent this message to him — “Do not have anything to do with that good man, for I have been very unhappy to-day in a dream on account of him.”
20 To jodolo madongo gi jodongo mag oganda nojiwo oganda mondo Barabas ema gikwa ogonynegi to Yesu to mondo onegi.
But the Chief Priests and the Councillors persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to kill Jesus.
21 Ruoth nopenjogi niya, “Kuom ji ariyogi, en ngʼa mudwaro mondo agonynu?” Negidwoke niya, “Barabas.”
The Governor, however, said to them: “Which of these two do you wish me to release for you?” “Barabbas,” they answered.
22 Pilato nopenjogi niya, “To koro atim angʼo gi Yesu miluongo ni Kristo?” Negidwoke riat niya, “Gure!”
“What then,” Pilate asked, “shall I do with Jesus who is called ‘Christ?’ “Let him be crucified,” they all replied.
23 Pilato nopenjogi niya, “Nangʼo? En ketho mane mosetimo madimi gure?” To negimedo kok matek moloyo kagiwacho niya, “Gure!”
“Why, what harm has he done?” he asked. But they kept shouting furiously: “Let him be crucified!”
24 Kane Pilato oneno ni onge gima nonyalo timo, to ni mahu ema koro ne chakore, nokawo pi mi ologo e nyim ogandano, kowacho niya, “An aler kuom remb ngʼatni, en wachu!”
When Pilate saw that his efforts were unavailing, but that, on the contrary, a riot was beginning, he took some water, and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying as he did so: “I am not answerable for this bloodshed; you must see to it yourselves.”
25 To ji duto nodwoko riat niya, “Rembe mondo obed e wiwa gi nyithindwa!”
And all the people answered: “His blood be on our heads and on our children’s!”
26 Eka nogonyonegi Barabas, to Yesu to nogolo chik mondo ochwadi bangʼe nokete e lwetgi mondo gigure.
The Pilate released Barabbas to them; but Jesus he scourged, and gave him up to be crucified.
27 Eka askeche ruoth nokawo Yesu motero nyaka e laru mar od ruoth, kendo negichokore oganda askeche duto mi gilwore gikete diere.
After that, the Governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Government House, and gathered the whole garrison round him.
28 Ne gilonyo lepe kendo ne girwakone kandho makwar,
They stripped him, and put on him a red military cloak,
29 eka ne gikado osimbo mar kudho kendo gisidho e wiye. Negiketo odundu e lwete korachwich, eka gigoyo chong-gi piny e nyime, kendo negichako jare kagiwacho niya, “Misawa, ruodh jo-Yahudi!”
and having twisted some thorns into a crown, put it on his head, and a rod in his right hand, and then, going down on their knees before him, they mocked him. “Long life to you, King of the Jews!” they said.
30 Ne gingʼulo kuome olawo kendo negikawo odundu gigoyogo wiye anwoya anwoya.
They spat at him and, taking the rod, kept striking him on the head;
31 Bangʼ kane gisejare kamano, ne gilonyo kandhono oko bangʼe girwakone lepe owuon. Eka ne giwuok gidhi kode mondo gidhi gigure.
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the military cloak, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to be crucified.
32 Kane gin e yo gidhi, negiromo gi ja-Kurene moro miluongo ni Simon, kendo ne gichune mondo otingʼ msalaba.
As they were on their way out, they came upon a man from Cyrene of the name of Simon; and they compelled him to go with them to carry the cross.
33 Eka negichopo kama iluongo ni Golgotha (tiende ni “Hanga Wich”).
On reaching a place named Golgotha (a place named from its likeness to a skull),
34 Kanyo negimiyo Yesu divai ma oru gi kedhno mondo omadhi, to bangʼ bile, nodagi madhe.
they gave him some wine to drink which had been mixed with gall; but after tasting it, Jesus refused to drink it.
35 Kane gisegure, to ne gipogore lepe ka gigoyo ombulu.
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among them by casting lots.
36 Bangʼe negibet piny kanyo ka girite.
Then they sat down, and kept watch over him there.
37 Gimalo ne nitie ndiko mondik mane nyiso kethone niya: Ma en Yesu, ma Ruodh Jo-Yahudi.
Above his head they fixed the accusation against him written out — ‘THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
38 Jomecho ariyo bende negiguro kode, achiel e bathe korachwich to machielo e bathe koracham.
At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.
39 Joma ne kadho kanyo nojare ka giyanye ka gikino wiyegi,
The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads as they said:
40 kendo giwacho niya, “In manyocha iwacho ni inyalo ketho hekalu mi ichak igere bangʼ ndalo adekni, koro resri kendi ane! Ka in wuod Nyasaye to wuog ane e msalaba ilor piny!”
“You who ‘destroy the Temple and build one in three days,’ save yourself! If you are God’s Son, come down from the cross!”
41 Machalre kamano bende, jodolo madongo gi jopuonj chik kod jodong oganda bende nojare, kagiwacho niya,
In the same way the Chief Priests, with the Teaches of the Law and Councillors, said in mockery:
42 “Ne oreso jomoko, to en koro ok onyal resore owuon! Donge en Ruodh Israel? Dak koro oa ewi msalaba olor piny ka sani mondo wayie kuome.
“He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the ‘King of Israel’! Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 Ogeno kuom Nyasaye; Nyasaye koro okonye ane sani ka odware adier, nimar ne owachoga ni, ‘An Wuod Nyasaye,’”
He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said ‘I am God’s Son.’”
44 Kamano bende e kaka jomecho mane ogur kode bende nodhuole gi ayany.
Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, reviled him in the same way.
45 Chakre sa auchiel mar odiechiengʼ nyaka sa ochiko, mudho nobiro moimo piny duto.
After mid-day a darkness came over all the country, lasting till three in the afternoon.
46 To kar sa ochiko, Yesu noywak gi dwol maduongʼ kowacho niya, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani?” (ma tiende ni, “Nyasacha, Nyasacha, iweya nangʼo?”).
And about three Jesus called out loudly: “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabacthani” — that is to say, ‘O my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?’
47 Ka moko kuom joma nochungʼ kanyo owinjo mano, negiwacho niya, “Oluongo Elija.”
Some of those standing by heard this, and said: “The man is calling for Elijah!”
48 Gikanyono achiel kuomgi noringo okawo siponj. Nonyume e kongʼo makech, kendo nochome ewi odundu mabor, bangʼe omiye Yesu mondo omadhi.
One of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and, filling it with common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink.
49 Joma moko nowacho niya, “Koro weyeuru mos, wane ka Elija biro mondo orese.”
But the rest said: “Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.” [However another man took a spear, and pierced his side; and water and blood flowed from it.]
50 To bangʼ ka Yesu noseywak kendo matek gi dwol maduongʼ, chunye nochot.
But Jesus, uttering another loud cry, gave up his spirit.
51 Mana gisano pasia mar hekalu noyiech e diere tir, chakre malo nyaka piny. Piny noyiengni kendo lwendni nobarore.
Suddenly the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were torn asunder,
52 Liete nomuoch moyawore kendo ringre jomaler mangʼeny mane osetho nochier modoko mangima.
the tombs opened, and the bodies of many of God’s People who had fallen asleep rose,
53 Ne giwuok e liete, kendo bangʼ chier mar Yesu, negidonjo ei Dala Maler kendo ne gifwenyore ne ji mangʼeny.
and they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.
54 Kane jatend jolweny gi joma ne ni kode mane rito Yesu noneno yiengni mar piny kod gik moko duto mane oyudo osetimore, luoro nomakogi matek, kendo negiwacho ka giwuoro niya, “Adier, ngʼatni ne en Wuod Nyasaye!”
The Roman Captain, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed: “This must indeed have been God’s Son!”
55 Mon mangʼeny bende ne ni kanyo, ka ngʼicho gichien. Negisebedo ka giluwo bangʼ Yesu koa Galili ka gichiwone gik monego okonyrego.
There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.
56 Moko kuomgi ne gin, Maria ma aa Magdala, Maria min Jakobo gi Joses, kod min yawuot Zebedi.
Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebediah’s sons.
57 Ka nochopo seche mag odhiambo, ja-mwandu moro ma ja-Arimathaya, ma nyinge Josef nobiro. En bende noselokore japuonjre Yesu.
When evening had fallen, there came a rich man belonging to Ramah, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.
58 Nodhi nyaka ir Pilato mokwayo ringre Yesu, kendo Pilato nogolo chik mondo omiyego.
He went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus; upon which Pilate ordered it to be given him.
59 Josef nokawo ringre Yesu moboye gi nanga maler marep-rep,
So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,
60 eka nokete e bur manyien mane osekunyo ariwa e kor lwanda, eka nongʼielo kidi maduongʼ mi oumogo dho liendno bangʼe owuok odhi.
and laid it in his newly-made tomb which he had cut in the rock; and, before he left, he rolled a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.
61 Maria ma aa Magdala gi Maria machielo to noweyo kobet piny kama omanyore kod liel.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.
62 Kinyne, mane en odiechiengʼ maluwo Chiengʼ Ikruok, jodolo madongo gi jo-Farisai nodhi ir Pilato.
The next day — that is, the day following the Preparation-Day — the Chief Priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said:
63 Negiwachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, wanyalo paro ni ka ja-miriamboni ne pod ngima to nowacho ni, ‘Bangʼ ndalo adek to abiro chier kendo.’
“Sir, we remember that, during his lifetime, that impostor said ‘I shall rise after three days.’
64 Omiyo gol chik mondo orit liel nyaka chiengʼ mar adek. Nono to jopuonjrene nyalo biro mi kwal ringre mi giwach ne ji ni osechier oa kuom joma otho. Miriambo machien-ni dibed marach moloyo mokwongo.”
So order the tomb to be made secure till the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him, and then say to the people ‘He has risen from the dead,’ when the latest imposture will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilato nodwokogi niya, “Kawuru jarito mondo udhi urit liel kaka un ema ungʼeyo uwegi.”
“You may have a guard,” was Pilate’s reply; “go and make the tomb as secure as you can.”
66 Omiyo negidhi mine girito liel ka giketo kido e kidi kendo negiketo jarito mondo orite.
So they went made the tomb secure, by sealing the stone, in presence of the guard.
