Mateyo 26
1 Lino chakaba kuti Jesu nakamana majwi aya oonse, wakati kuli basikwiya bakwe,
And it happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,
2 “Mulizi kuti kwayinda mazuba abili pobwe lyakwindilila ngalyasika, e; yo Mwana Muntu waabwa kuti akagankaminwe.”
"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
3 Mpawo mupayizi mupati abapati bamwi babantu bakali bungene aantomwe mungánda yamuapyizi silutwe, wakalikutegwa ngu Kkayafasi.
Then the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4 Bakalangula inzila isisikene kabali antomwe kuti bamwange Jesu chakumubba akuyomujaya.
They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.
5 Nkambo bakali kwamba kuti, “kutabi chiindi chapobwe litakwe bumena, kuti kutabi kunyongana akati kabantu.”
But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people."
6 Lino Jesu nakali mu Bbetani mungánda ya Sayimoni sichinsenda,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 Nakalikulya atafula, elyo kwakasika mwanakazi wakajisi cinkuli wamafuta adula, elyo wakatila Jesu amutwe
a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8 Pesi basikwiya bakwe nibakaziba, bakabilila alimwi bakati,
But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
9 “Ninzi chapa kuti aanyonyone obu? Ayaa alikuzigwa amali inyingi akuyopa bachete.”
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
10 Pesi Jesu nakaziba echi wakati kulimbabo, “Nkambonzi nimumukatazya mwanakazi ooyu? Nkambo wandichitila chintu chibotu.
However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.
11 Bachete mulaabo chiindi chonse, pesi tamukoyooba andime pe chindi choonse.
For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have me.
12 Nkambo mpatila mafuta aya amubili wangu, wazichitila kuzikwa kwangu
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 kasimpe ndamwambila kuti kufumbwa nkwayokambawukwa makani mabotu, munyika yoonse echi nchaachita mwanakazi oyu chinoyowambwa kuti bakamwibaluke.
Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."
14 Mpawo umwi wabali kkumi ababili, wakali kuteghwa Judasi sikaliyoti, wakayinka kumupayizi mupati
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
15 Alimwi wakati, “Ninzi nchimuyanda kundipa kuti ndimwabe kulindinywe?” Bakazuminana makumi ataatu ansiliva kuti bamupe.
and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 Kuzwa kuleechochindi wakalangula mwenya wakumwaba kulimbabo.
From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Lino mubuzuba butaanzibwachinkwa chitakwe bumena basikwiya bakaza kuli Jesu akumwambila kuti, “Nkukuli nkoyanda kuti tukakubambilile kuti ukalye pobwe lyakwindilila?
Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
18 Wakamba kuti, “Ngamwinke mumyuunzi kuli umwi mwalumi akumwambila kuti, “Muyisi wati, “chindi changu chaba mumaanza. Ndiyobamba ipobwe lyakwindilila kungánda yako abasikwiya bangu.
He said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples."'"
19 Basikwiya bakachita mbuli Jesu mbwakabalayilila, alimwi bakakubamba kulya kwapobwe lyakwindilila.
The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 Lino nichakaba chindi chagoko, wakakkala aansi kuti alye abasikwiya balikkumi ababili.
Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve.
21 Awo nibakali kulya, wakabambila kuti, “Nkasimpe ndamwambila kuti umwi wanu uyondaaba.”
As they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Bakawusa kapati, elyo umwi wakatalika kumubuzya kuti, “Zyanchonzyo tendime na Mwami?”
And they were greatly distressed, and each one began to ask him, "It is not me, is it, Lord?"
23 Wakasandula kati, “Ngumwi oyo unika kuboko kwakwe andime mukabbavu ngonguwe uyondaaba.
He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.
24 Mwana Muntu uleenda, mbuli mbukulembedwe atala anguwe, pesi maawe kulooyo muntu uwaaba Mwana a Muntu! Chalikubota kuloyo muntu natakazyalwa.”
The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
25 Judasi oyo wakali wakayanda kuyomuuzya wakati, “Ndime na, Mwami?” wakamwambila kuti, “walyambila olikke.”
Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It is not me, is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."
26 Kabalimukulya, Jesu wakabweza chinkwa, wachilongezya, akuchikwamuna. Wakachipa basikwiya akubambila kuti, “Mubweze, mulye. Ooyu ngomubili wangu.”
As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."
27 Wakabweza nkomeki akulumba, alimwi wakabapa akwamba kuti, “Munywe, moonse.
He took a cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it,
28 Nkambo obumbulowa bwangu bwachizuminano butililwa bayingi kuti balekelelwe zibi.
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 Pesi ndimwambila kuti, tandi koyonywa limbi muchelo wamasansa, kusikila mubuzuba obo mbwintakanywe bupya andinywe mu Bwami bwa Taata.”
But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's Kingdom."
30 Lino nibakazwa kwimba lwiimbo, bakayinka kuchilundu chama oliva.
When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Mpawo Jesu wakabambila kuti, “moonse muyolebwa mansiku aano nkambo kandime, nkambo kuli lembedwe kuti, Ndiyowuma mwembeli alimwi butanga bwambelele buyomwayika.'
Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
32 Pesi musule ndakubusigwa, ndiyomusangunina kuya mu Galili.”
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
33 Pesi Pita wakati kulinguwe, “Nekuba boonse balebwa nkambo kanduwe, mebo andike tandikoyolebwa pe.”
But Peter answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble."
34 Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “chakasimpe ndakwambila kuti, busiku mbubobuno, mukombwe katana kukokolika, unoli wandikaka tutaatu.”
Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
35 Pita wakamwambila kuti, “Nikuba kufwa anduwe ndilakonzya, nsikoyokukaka pe. “Boonse basikwiya bakamba chomwe.
Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.
36 Mpawo Jesu wakinkabo kubusena ibutegwa Gesemane alimwi wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Amukkale aano ninchiya kukukomba.”
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."
37 Wakabweza Pita abana ba Zebbedi babili antoomwe anguwe alimwi bakatalika kuba amawuse aku katazika.
He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
38 Mpawo wakati kuli mbabo, “Muuya wangu wawusa kapati, nikuba kusikila akulufu. Amuchale ano alimwi mulindile.”
Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."
39 Wakayinka anembo kulekule, wakakotamika busyu bwakwe, akukomba wakamba kuti, “Taata, na chakonzeka, nkomeki eyi ngindiinde. Pesi, kutabi kuyanda kwangu, pesi kube kuyanda kwako.
He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."
40 Wakaboola kuli basikwiya akubajanabalimukoona, alimwi wakati kuli Pita, “Niinzi, sa tamukonzyi kulindila andime hoola limwi?
He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, could you not watch with me for one hour?
41 Amulindile akukomba kuti mutanjilinmukusunkwa. Nchoonzyo Muuya ulayanda, pesi mubili wezuuka.”
Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42 Wakayinka lwachibili akuyokoomba. Wakamba kuti, “Taata, kuti echi tachikonzeki kwinda kumbali kwakuti ndinywe, kuyanda kwako kuchitwe.
Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, your desire be done."
43 Wakaza lubo wazobajana balikoona, nkambo meso aabo akali alema.
He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Wakabasiya lubo, wakayinka akuyokoomba kachitaatu, kayindulula majwi omwe.
He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45 Mpawo Jesu wakeza kuli basikwiya akubambila kuti, “Muchoona na akulyokezya? Amulange, hola lyaba mumaboko, alimwi Mwana Muntu waabwa mumaboko abasizibi
Then he came to the disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Mubuke, twinkeAmulange, oyo sikundaaba waba afwifwi.”
Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me is near."
47 Nakachili kwambula, Judasi, umwi wabali kkumi awumwi, wakasika, wakaaza amakamu makamu abantu kuzwa kumupayizi mupati abapati babantu. Bakeza amafulo enkoli.
While he was still speaking, look, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Lino oyo mwalumi wakali kuyanda kuuzya Jesu wakali bapede chitondezyo, chamba kuti, “oyo ngwensikamyonte ngonguwe. Mukamuvumpile.”
Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him."
49 Mpawawo wakasika kuli Jesu akwamba kuti, “Wapona, Omuyisi!” akumumyonta.
Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, "Greetings, Rabbi." and kissed him.
50 Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “Mweenzuma, chita echo nchwazida kuzochita.” mpawo bakasika, babika maanza ali Jesu, akumuvuntila.
Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Amulange, umwi wababo bakali a Jesu wakatandabika janza lyakwe, wasomona kafulo, akuma muzike wamupayizi mupati, akumudyunkula kutwi kwakwe.
And look, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
52 Mpawo Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Bwedezya kafulo kako muchibikilo chako, nkambo boonse abo babweza tufulo bayolobesegwa atufulo.
Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
53 Muyeeye kuti tendali kukonzya na kwiita Taata, alimwi walikunditumina baangelo bayinda myuya mibi ilikkumi ayibili?
Or do you think that I could not ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Pesi alikuyo zuzikizigwa biyeni malembe, “kuti echi chichitike?”
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"
55 Kuleecho chindi Jesu wakati kumakamu abantu, “Mwaaza azifulo enkoli kuti muzondivuntile mbotatedi ndimubbi? Mazuba oonse ndakali kuyiisya mungánda ya Leza, alimwi tamwakandaanga pe.
In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me.
56 Pesi zyoonse eezi zyachitika kuti malembe amusinsimi azuzikizigwe. “Mpawo basikwiya boonse bakamutakata akuchija.
But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
57 Abo bakamuvuntila Jesu bakamutola kuli Kkayafasi muapayizi mupati, oko balembi abapati nkabakabungene.
Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
58 Pesi Pita wakamutobelela kule kule kusikila mulubuwa lwamupayizi mupati. Wakanjila mukati akukkala aansi abasikulinda kuti abone chitachitike.
But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
59 Lino mupayizi mupati abankuta boonse bakali kulangila bukamboni bwakubeja aatala a Jesu kuti bakonzye kumubika kulufu.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus so they could put him to death;
60 Takwepe nchibakajana, nekuba kuti bakamboni bakubeja bakeza. Pesi nichakaba chiindi babili bakasika.
and they found none, even though many false witnesses came forward. But afterward two came forward,
61 Akwamba kuti, “Oyu mwalumi wakali kuti, 'Ndilakonzya kumwayula ngánda ya Leza akwiyakulula mumazuba ataatu.”
and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"
62 Mupayizi mupati wakimikila akumwambila kuti, “Tukwe nsandulo na?” Niinzi zyoonse eezi nzibalokukukwambila atala anduwe?”
The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"
63 Pesi Jesu wakawumuna. Mupayizi mupati wakamwambila kuti, “Ndakulayilila muli Leza upona, twambile na nduwe Kkilisito, Mwana a Leza.”
But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."
64 Jesu wakamuvwiila kati, “wamba nduwe omwini. Pesi ndakwambila, kuzwa lino uyoobona Mwan Muntu kakkede kukuboko kwachilisyo kwenguzu, akuyoboola mumayooba akujulu.”
Jesus said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
65 Mpawo mupayizi mupati wakadelula zisamo zyakwe akwamba kuti, “wambula masampu! Nkambonzi nituchiyanda bukamboni? Amulange lino mwamvwa masampu.
Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy. Why do we need any more witnesses? See, now you have heard his blasphemy.
66 Muyeyaanzi? Bakasandula akwamba kuti, “Welede lufu.”
What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death."
67 Mpawo bakamuswida kumeso akumuuma, akumuvatula mabbayi,
Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
68 akwamba kuti, “Tusinsimine, webo Kkilisito. Ngwani wakuuma?”
saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ. Who hit you?"
69 Lino Pita wakalikkede aanze mukati kalubbaya lwankuta, elyo mulanda musimbi wakasika kulinguwe akumwambila kuti, “wakalawe Jesu mu Galili.”
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean."
70 Pesi wakazikaka kunembo lyabo boonse kaamba kati, “tandizizi pe eezyo nzyolikwamba.”
But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
71 Lino nakazwa anze amulyango walubaya, awumwi musimbi mulanda wakamubona akwambila abo mbakalabo, “Ooyu mwalumi wakali awe Jesu waku Nazaleta.”
And when he had gone out onto the porch, another girl saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Jesus the Nazorean."
72 Wakakaka lubo chakukonka, “tandimuzipe me mwalumi ooyu.”
Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
73 Musule lyakayindi abo bakalimvwi bakasika akwamba kuti kuli Pita, “Nchamasimpe uli umwi wabo, nkambo nzila njowambula ayo ilakwamba.”
After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your accent makes you known."
74 Mpawo wakatalika kutukila akukonka, “tandimuzi pe mwalumi oyu,” alimwi mpawawo mukombwe waka kokolika.
Then he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know the man." Immediately the rooster crowed.
75 Pita wakayeeya majwi Jesu ngakaambide, “mukombwe katana kokolika uyonditama tutatu.” Mpawo wakaya aanze wakutalika kweema.
Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.
