Matthew 26
1 When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo byonna, n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti,
2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
“Nga bwe mumanyi, ebulayo ennaku bbiri tutuuke ku mbaga ey’Okuyitako. Omwana w’Omuntu aliweebwayo akomererwe.”
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
Mu kiseera ekyo kyennyini, bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya baali bakuŋŋaanye mu lubiri lwa Kayaafa, Kabona Asinga Obukulu,
4 They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.
nga bakola olukwe mwe banaayita okukwata Yesu bamutte.
5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
Naye baasalawo kireme kubaawo mu kiseera eky’Embaga, si kulwa nga wabaawo akeegugungo mu bantu.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Awo Yesu bwe yali mu nnyumba ya Simooni Omugenge e Besaniya,
7 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.
ng’ali ku mmeeza, omukazi n’ajja gy’ali ng’alina eccupa y’amafuta ag’akaloosa ag’omuwendo omungi, n’agafuka ku mutwe gwa Yesu.
8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
Abayigirizwa be bwe baakiraba ne banyiiga. Ne bagamba nti, “Lwaki okwonoona amafuta ag’omuwendo gatyo!
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
Kubanga yandisobodde okugatundamu ensimbi nnyingi n’azigabira abaavu.”
10 However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe, n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mutawanya omukazi? Ankoledde ekintu ekirungi.
11 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.
Bulijjo abaavu muli nabo, naye nze sijja kuba nammwe bulijjo.
12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
Anfuseeko amafuta gano okuteekateeka omubiri gwange okuguziika.
13 Most certainly 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.”
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, bulijjo ajjanga kujjukirwa olw’ekikolwa kino. Ekikolwa ky’omukazi ono kijjanga kwogerwako wonna wonna mu nsi Enjiri gy’eneebuulirwanga.”
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Awo Yuda Isukalyoti omu ku bayigirizwa ekkumi n’ababiri n’agenda eri bakabona abakulu.
15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
N’ababuuza nti, “Munampa ki okubalaga Yesu mulyoke mumukwate?” Ne bamuwa ebitundu bya ffeeza amakumi asatu.
16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
Okuviira ddala mu kiseera ekyo Yuda n’anoonya akakisa konna alyemu Yesu olukwe.
17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
Awo ku lunaku olusooka mu nnaku ez’Embaga ey’Emigaati egitazimbulukuswa, abayigirizwa ne bajja eri Yesu ne bamubuuza nti, “Embaga y’Okuyitako tukugiteekereteekere wa?”
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mu kibuga ewa ‘Gundi,’ mumugambe nti, ‘Omuyigiriza agambye nti: Ekiseera kyange kituuse, era Embaga ey’Okuyitako njagala kugiriira mu maka go awamu n’abayigirizwa bange.’”
19 The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
Abayigirizwa ne bagenda ne bakola nga Yesu bwe yabalagira ne bateekateeka Okuyitako.
20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
Akawungeezi ako Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde
21 As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
ku mmere n’abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri, nga balya n’abagamba nti, “Omu ku mmwe ajja kundyamu olukwe.”
22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It is not me, is it, Lord?”
Bwe baakiwulira emitima ne gibeewanika, buli omu n’abuuza nti, “Ye nze?”
23 He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Akozezza nange mu kibya, y’oyo.
24 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.”
Mutegeere nti Omwana w’Omuntu agenda nga bwe kyamuwandiikibwako, naye zimusanze omuntu oyo agenda okulya mu Mwana w’Omuntu olukwe. Kyandibadde kirungi singa omuntu oyo teyazaalirwa ddala.”
25 Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It is not me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
Yuda anaamulyamu olukwe n’amubuuza nti, “Ddala ddala, ye nze Labbi?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Oyogedde.”
26 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.”
Bwe baali balya, Yesu n’addira omugaati n’agusabira omukisa, n’agumenyaamenyamu n’agabira abayigirizwa be, n’agamba nti, “Mutoole mulye, kubanga guno gwe mubiri gwange.”
27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
Bw’atyo n’asitula ekikompe, ne yeebaza Katonda, n’abawa ng’agamba nti, “Munywe ku kino mwenna,
28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
kubanga guno gwe musaayi gwange ogw’endagaano oguyiika ku lw’abantu abangi, olw’okusonyiyibwa ebibi.
29 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.”
Era mbagamba nti, Sigenda kuddayo kunywa ku kibala kino okutuusa ku lunaku olwo lwe ndikinywa nammwe nga kiggya mu bwakabaka bwa Kitange.”
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Bwe baamala okuyimbayo oluyimba ne bafuluma ne bagenda ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni.
31 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.’
Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ekiro kya leero mwenna mujja kunjabulira. “Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Ndikuba omusumba n’endiga z’omu kisibo kye ne zisaasaana.’
32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
Naye bwe ndimala okuzuukizibwa ndibakulembera okugenda e Ggaliraaya.”
33 But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
Peetero n’amuddamu nti, “Abalala bonna bwe banaakwabulira, nze sijja kukwabulira.”
34 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ddala ddala nkugamba nti, Mu kiro kino kyennyini enkoko eneeba tennakookolima, onooneegaana emirundi esatu.”
35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Oba kufiira wamu naawe n’afa, naye sijja kukwegaana n’akamu kokka.” N’abayigirizwa be abalala bonna ne boogera bwe batyo.
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
Awo Yesu n’agenda nabo mu kifo ekiyitibwa Gesusemane n’abagamba nti, “Mutuule wano okutuusa lwe nnaamala okusaba nkomewo.”
37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
N’atwala Peetero ne batabani ba Zebbedaayo bombi, n’atandika, okuwulira ennaku nnyingi n’okweraliikirira ennyo.
38 Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
N’abagamba nti, “Omwoyo gwange guliko ennaku egenda na kunzita. Kale mubeere wano tutunule ffenna.”
39 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.”
N’abaleka awo ne yeeyongerayo akabanga, n’agwa wansi ng’avuunise amaaso ge ku ttaka, n’asaba nti, “Kitange! Obanga kisoboka, leka ekikompe kino kinzigibweko. Naye si nga Nze bwe njagala, wabula nga ggwe bw’oyagala.”
40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, could not you watch with me for one hour?
N’addayo eri abayigirizwa be n’abasanga nga beebase. N’agamba Peetero nti, “Peetero, naawe tosobodde kutunula nange n’essaawa emu?
41 Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mutunule nga bwe musaba. Omwoyo gwo gwagala, naye omubiri gwe munafu!”
42 Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
N’abavaako omulundi ogwokubiri akabanga n’agenda n’asaba ng’agamba nti, “Kitange! Oba tekisoboka ekikompe kino kuvaawo wabula Nze okukinywa, kale ky’oyagala kye kiba kikolebwa.”
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
N’akomawo nate gye bali n’abasanga nga beebase, kubanga amaaso gaabwe gaali gazitowa nga gajjudde otulo.
44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
N’abaleka n’agenda asaba ebigambo bye bimu nga biri.
45 Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Ate n’akomawo awali abayigirizwa n’abagamba nti, “Kale mwebakire ddala, muwummule. Kyokka mumanye ng’ekiseera kituuse Omwana w’Omuntu aweebweyo mu mikono gy’abalina ebibi.
46 Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
Muzuukuke! Musituke tugende! Laba, omuntu agenda okundyamu olukwe wuuli ajja!”
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Laba Yesu yali akyayogera Yuda omu ku kkumi n’ababiri, n’atuuka ng’alina ekibiina ky’abantu abaali babagalidde ebitala n’emiggo nga batumiddwa bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya.
48 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
Eyali agenda okumulyamu olukwe yali abategeezezza akabonero nti omuntu gw’anaalamusa nga y’oyo gwe baali beetaaga, nga bamukwata.
49 Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
Amangwago n’ajja eri Yesu n’amulamusa nti, “Mirembe, Labbi,” n’amugwa mu kifuba.
50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Yesu kwe kumugamba nti. “Munnange, kola ky’ojjiridde.” Awo abalala ne bakwata Yesu.
51 Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Omuntu omu ku abo abaali ne Yesu n’asowolayo ekitala kye n’asalako okutu kw’omuweereza wa Kabona Asinga Obukulu.
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
Naye Yesu n’amulagira nti, “Ekitala kyo kizzeeyo mu kiraato kyakyo. Kubanga abo abakozesa ebitala nabo bagenda kuttibwa na kitala.
53 Or do you think that I could not ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Tomanyi nti nnyinza okusaba Kitange bamalayika nkumi na nkumi okujja okutulwanirira?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
Naye singa nkola bwe ntyo, olwo Ebyawandiikibwa, ebyogera ku bino ebiriwo kaakano, binatuukirira bitya?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “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.
Mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’abuuza ekibiina nti, “Ndi ng’omumenyi w’amateeka ow’akabi ennyo, n’okujja ne mujja okunkwata nga mubagalidde ebitala n’emiggo? Nabeeranga nammwe nga njigiriza mu Yeekaalu buli lunaku, ne mutankwata.
56 But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
Naye kino kibaddewo okutuukiriza ebigambo bya bannabbi ebiri mu Byawandiikibwa.” Olwo abayigirizwa be bonna ne bamwabulira ne badduka.
57 Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
Awo ekibiina ne kitwala Yesu ewa Kayaafa, Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya gye baali bakuŋŋaanidde.
58 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.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne Peetero yali agoberera kyokka ng’ali walako emabega w’ekibiina; n’atuuka mu luggya lw’ennyumba ya Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’atuula awaali abaweereza ng’alinda okutegeera ebinaavaayo.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,
Bakabona abakulu n’Abasaddukaayo bonna ne banoonya obujulizi obw’obulimba ku Yesu obunamuweesa ekibonerezo eky’okufa.
60 and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
Kyokka ne bafunayo batono ab’obujulirwa obw’obulimba. N’evumbukayo babiri
61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
abeesimbawo okugamba nti, “Omuntu ono yagamba nti, ‘Nsobola okumenyawo Yeekaalu ya Katonda, ate ne ngizimba ne ngimalira mu nnaku ssatu.’”
62 The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ayimirira n’abuuza Yesu nti, “Tolina ky’oddamu ku bino abasajja bano bye bakuloopa?”
63 But Jesus stayed silent. 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.”
Naye Yesu n’asirika busirisi. Ate Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’amuddira ng’amugamba nti, “Nkulagira, mu linnya lya Katonda omulamu otutegeeze obanga Ggwe Kristo, Omwana wa Katonda.”
64 Jesus said to him, “You have said so. 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.”
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Okyogedde. Naye mbagamba nti, okuva ne kaakano mugenda kulaba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, ng’akomawo ku bire eby’eggulu.”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’agamba nti, “Kuno kuvvoola! Ate kati tukyetaagira ki abajulirwa abalala? Mwenna mumuwulidde ng’akyogera!
66 What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
Mumusalira mutya?” Ne baddamu nti, “Gumusinze! Asaanidde kufa!”
67 Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
Olwo ne bawandira Yesu amalusu mu maaso, abamu ne bamukuba ebikonde ne bamukuba empi,
68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
nga bwe bamugamba nti, “Tutegeeze, Kristo, akukubye y’aluwa?”
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
Mu kiseera ekyo Peetero yali atudde mu luggya. Awo omuweereza omuwala n’ajja awali Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Wali wamu ne Yesu, ow’e Ggaliraaya.”
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.”
Naye Peetero ne yeegaana mu maaso ga buli omu ng’agamba nti, “Ky’oyogerako sikimanyi.”
71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
Oluvannyumako nga Peetero ayimiridde okumpi n’oluggi olunene oluva mu luggya, omuwala omulala n’amulaba, n’agamba abo abaali bayimiridde awo nti, “Omusajja ono yali ne Yesu ow’e Nazaaleesi.”
72 Again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.”
Peetero era n’akyegaana, nga kw’atadde n’okulayira nga bw’agamba nti, “Nze oyo n’okumumanya simumanyi.”
73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
Naye nga wayiseewo akabanga, abasajja abaali bayimiridde awo ne bajja w’ali, ne bamugamba nti, “Ddala ddala oli omu ku bo, kubanga otegeerekeka olw’enjogera yo.”
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
Peetero n’atandika okulayira nate, ne yeeyongera okwegaana ng’agamba nti, “Omuntu simumanyi.” Amangwago enkoko n’ekookolima.
75 Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
Awo Peetero n’ajjukira ebigambo bya Yesu bye yali amugambye nti, “Enkoko eneeba tennakookolima onoonneegaana emirundi esatu.” N’afuluma ebweru ng’akaaba nnyo amaziga.
