Mark 14
1 It was now two days before Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the religious leaders were trying to find a surreptitious way to arrest Jesus and have him killed.
Abalị abụọ tupu e mee Mmemme Ngabiga na mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko, ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu nọkwa na-achọ ụzọ aghụghọ ha ga-esi jide Jisọs gbuo ya.
2 “But not during Passover,” they said to themselves, “otherwise the people may riot.”
Ma ha kwuru sị, “Ọ gaghị abụ nʼoge mmemme a, ka ọgbaaghara ghara ịdị.”
3 Meanwhile Jesus was in Bethany, eating a meal at Simon the leper's home. A woman came in with an alabaster jar of very expensive pure nard perfume. She broke the jar open and poured the perfume on Jesus' head.
Ka ọ nọdụrụ nʼoche nri na Betani nʼụlọ Saimọn onye ekpenta, otu nwanyị bu karama alabasta mmanụ otite dị oke ọnụahịa, nke e jiri ezigbo naad mee, batara. Ọ kụwara karama ahụ, wụsa ya mmanụ otite ahụ nʼisi.
4 Some of those who were there became annoyed and said, “Why waste this perfume?
Ụfọdụ ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ were iwe nke ukwuu. Ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Gịnị mere e jiri laa mmanụ otite nke a nʼiyi otu a?
5 It could've been sold for a year's wages and the money given to the poor.” They were angry with her.
A gaara ere mmanụ otite a ihe karịrị narị denarị atọ, were ego e retara ya nye ndị ogbenye.” Ha baara ya mba nʼolu ike.
6 But Jesus replied, “Leave her alone! Why are you criticizing her for doing something beautiful to me?
Ma Jisọs sịrị, “Hapụnụ ya aka. Gịnị mere unu ji esogbu ya? Ọ bụ ezi ọrụ ka ọ rụrụ nʼebe m nọ.
7 You'll always have the poor with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you won't always have me with you.
Unu na ndị ogbenye na-anọ oge niile, unu nwekwara ohere inyere ha aka mgbe ọbụla unu chọrọ. Ma mụ na unu agaghị anọ tee anya.
8 She did what she could: she anointed my body in anticipation of my burial.
O mere ihe o nwere ike, ọ na-ete m mmanụ otite a ugbu a iji kwado ahụ m maka olili a ga-eli ya.
9 I tell you the truth: wherever the good news is spread in the world, people will remember what she did.”
Nʼezie, ana m agwa unu, nʼebe ọbụla a ga-ekwusa oziọma a nʼụwa niile, ọrụ a ọ rụrụ ka a ga-akọkwa akụkọ ya, iji cheta ihe ọma a o mere.”
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the chief priests and arranged to betray Jesus to them.
Mgbe ahụ Judas Iskarịọt, otu nʼime ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ jekwuuru ndịisi nchụaja ịgba izu otu ọ ga-esi rara ya nye ha nʼaka.
11 When they heard this, they were delighted, and promised to pay him. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ kwee ya nkwa inye ya ego. Site nʼụbọchị ahụ, o bidoro ịchọgharị ụzọ ọ ga-esi rara ya nye ha.
12 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the time when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the Passover meal for you?”
Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke Mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko, mgbe ha na-achụ aja atụrụ ngabiga, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Ebee ka ị chọrọ ka anyị gaa kwadoro gị ihe, maka oriri ngabiga?”
13 He sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city and there you'll meet a man carrying a water pot. Follow him,
O zipụrụ mmadụ abụọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, sị ha, “Gaanụ nʼime obodo, otu nwoke bu ite mmiri ga-ezute unu. Soronụ ya.
14 and when he goes into a house, ask the owner where I and my disciples can celebrate the Passover.
Ebe ọbụla ọ banyere, sịnụ onyenwe ụlọ ahụ, Onye ozizi sịrị, Olee ụlọ ọbịa a kwadoro m, ebe mụ na ndị na-eso ụzọ m ga-anọ rie oriri ngabiga?
15 He will take you to a large upstairs room that is furnished and ready. You can make preparations for us there.”
Ọ ga-egosi unu otu ọnụụlọ buru ibu nʼelu ụlọ ahụ, ebe e dozichara ihe niile. Kwadoonụ ihe anyị nʼebe ahụ.”
16 The disciples went into the city, and found things just as he'd described them. They prepared the Passover meal.
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya pụrụ baa nʼime obodo, ha hụrụ ihe niile dị ka ọ gwara ha. Ma kwadokwa nri ngabiga ahụ.
17 In the evening Jesus went there with the twelve disciples.
Mgbe o ruru uhuruchi, ya na ndị ozi ya iri na abụọ ahụ so bịa.
18 While they were sitting eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth: one of you is going to betray me; one who is eating with me now.”
Mgbe ha nọ na-eri nri, Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Nʼezie agwa m unu, otu onye nʼime unu ga-arara m nye. E, otu onye so m ugbu a na-eri nri!”
19 They were shocked, and they each asked, “It's not me, is it?”
Ha bidoro inwe obi mwute, na-asị ya nʼotu nʼotu, “Ọ bụ m? Ọ bụ m?”
20 “It's one of the Twelve, one of you sharing this food with me,” he replied.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ otu onye nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ a. Onye mụ na ya na-amanyekọta aka nʼime otu efere.
21 “The Son of man will die, just as the Scriptures predicted. But how terrible it will be for the man who betrays the Son of man! It would be better for that man if he'd never been born.”
Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-ala dị ka e dere banyere ya. Ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị nwoke ahụ onye a ga-esite nʼaka ya rara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye. Ọ gaara akara onye ahụ mma ma a sị na a mụghị ya amụ.”
22 As they were eating, Jesus picked up some bread. He blessed it, and gave it to them. “Take it. This is my body,” he told them.
Dị ka ha na-eri nri, o weere achịcha, nye ekele, nyawa ya, nye ha sị, “Rienụ ya, nke a bụ ahụ m.”
23 Then he picked up the cup. He blessed it, and gave it to them. They all drank from it.
Mgbe ahụ, o buuru iko, nye ekele bunyekwa ha. Ha niile ṅụrụ site nʼotu iko ahụ.
24 “This is my blood,” he told them, “the agreement that's being poured out for many.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Nke a bụ ọbara m nke ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ, nke a na-awụfu nʼihi ọtụtụ mmadụ.
25 I tell you the truth, I won't drink of the fruit of the vine until the day I drink it fresh in God's kingdom.”
Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, agaghị m aṅụ mmanya vaịnị ọzọ tutu ruo ụbọchị ahụ, mgbe m ga-aṅụ ya ọhụrụ nʼalaeze Chineke.”
26 After they had sung a psalm, they left for the Mount of Olives.
Mgbe ha bụsịrị abụ, ha pụrụ gaa nʼUgwu Oliv.
27 “All of you will abandon me,” Jesus told them. “For as the Scriptures say, ‘I will attack the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered.’
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Unu niile ga-agbahapụ m, nʼihi na e dere ya otu a sị, “‘Aga m etigbu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, igwe atụrụ ga-agbasasịkwa.’
28 But after I have risen from the dead, I will go before you to Galilee.”
Ma mgbe e mesịrị ka m si nʼọnwụ bilie, aga m ebu unu ụzọ gaa Galili.”
29 “I won't abandon you even if everyone else does,” Peter replied.
Pita kwuru, “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ niile agbahapụ gị, agaghị m eme otu a.”
30 Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth that today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny that you even know me three times.”
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ịgwa gị eziokwu, nʼụbọchị taa, nʼabalị taa, tupu oke ọkụkụ akwaa akwa ugboro abụọ, ị ga-agọnarị m ugboro atọ.”
31 But Peter was totally adamant, saying, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you.” All of them said the same.
O kwusịrị ike sị, “Ọ bụrụkwa na ihe ọnwụ adapụta, aga m eso gị nwụọ. Agaghị m agọnarị gị!” Ọ bụkwa otu ihe ahụ ka ha niile kwuru.
32 They arrived at a place called Gethsemane, where Jesus told his disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray.”
Ha pụrụ garuo ebe a na-akpọ Getsameni. Nʼebe ahụ, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Nọdụnụ nʼebe a ka m gaa kpee ekpere.”
33 He took Peter, James, and John with him. He began to be very disturbed and troubled.
Ọ kpọọrọ Pita, na Jemis na Jọn tinyere onwe ya. Ọ malitere inwe ihe mwute dị ukwuu nakwa obi ịlọ mmiri.
34 Jesus told them, “My agony is so painful it feels like I'm dying. Please, remain here and stay awake.”
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ na-ewute mkpụrụobi m nke ukwuu ruo nʼọnụ ọnwụ. Nọdụnụ nʼebe a na-eche nche.”
35 He went a little farther on and then fell to the ground. He prayed, asking to be spared the time that was coming, if it were possible.
Ọ gatụrụ nʼihu daa nʼala kpee ekpere, sị, ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-ekwe mee ka oge awa ahụ gabiga ya.
36 “Abba, Father! You can do everything,” he said. “Please, take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet it's not what I want, but what you want.”
O kwuru sị, “Abba, Nna, ị pụrụ ime ihe niile. Napụ m iko a, ma otu ọ dị, ọ bụghị ka e mee uche m, kama ka e mee uche gị.”
37 Then Jesus returned and found the disciples asleep. “Simon, are you sleeping?” he asked Peter. “Couldn't you stay awake for just an hour?
Ọ bịara hụ ha ka ha na-arahụ ụra. Ọ sịrị Pita, “Saimọn, ị na-arahụ ụra? Ọ bụ na ị nweghị ike iche nche otu awa?
38 Stay awake, and pray so you won't fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
Nọrọnụ na nche, na-ekpekwanụ ekpere ka unu ghara ịdaba nʼọnwụnwa. Mmụọ dị ike ma anụ ahụ adịghị ike.”
39 He left them once more, and prayed, saying the same things.
Ọ pụkwara ọzọ, gaa kpee ekpere, na-ekwukwa otu okwu ahụ.
40 Then he returned, and again he found them sleeping because they couldn't keep their eyes open. They didn't know what to say!
Mgbe ọ lọghachiri azụ ọ hụrụ na ha na-arahụ ụra, nʼihi na anya ha dị arọ nke ukwuu. Ha amakwaghị ihe ha ga-agwa ya.
41 He returned a third time, and asked them, “Are you still asleep? Are you still resting? Well that's enough, because the time has come! Look, the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mgbe ọ lọghachiri nke ugboro atọ, ọ sịrị ha, “Unu ka nọ na-arahụ ụra na-ezukwa ike? O zuola! Oge awa ahụ abịala. Lee, a rarala Nwa nke Mmadụ nye nʼaka ndị mmehie.
42 Get up! Let's go! See, here comes my betrayer.”
Bilienụ! Ka anyị gawa! Lee, onye na-arara m nye nọ nso.”
43 Just as he was saying this, Judas—one of the twelve disciples—arrived with a mob carrying swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests, religious leaders, and elders.
Mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu nʼọnụ, Judas, otu nʼime ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ batara, ya na igwe mmadụ, ndị ji mma agha na mkpọ. Ọ bụ ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu, na ndị ode akwụkwọ, na ndị okenye ndị Juu zitere ha.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a sign with them: “He's the one that I kiss. Arrest him, and take him away under guard.”
Ma onye na-arara ya nye, nyere ha rịị ihe ịrịbama sị, “Onye ahụ nke m ga-esutu ọnụ bụ ya; jidenụ ya, kpụrụnụ ya gawa, ma jidesiekwanụ ya ike.”
45 Judas went right up to Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, and kissed him affectionately.
Ngwangwa o jekwuuru Jisọs, sị ya, “Onye ozizi!” ma sutukwa ya ọnụ.
46 So they grabbed hold of Jesus and arrested him.
Ndị ikom ahụ jidere Jisọs ma sekpụrụ ya nʼike.
47 But one of those standing there pulled out his sword and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
Ma otu onye nʼime ndị guzo nʼebe ahụ, mịpụtara mma agha ya, gbuo ohu onyeisi nchụaja, gbupụ ntị ya.
48 “Am I some kind of rebel that you have come to arrest me with swords and clubs?” Jesus asked them.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Abụ m onyendu nke ndị na-enupu isi nke mere unu ji were mma agha na mkpọ bịa ijide m?
49 “I was there with you, teaching in the Temple every day. Why didn't you arrest me then? But this is happening to fulfill the Scriptures.”
Ụbọchị niile ka mụ na unu nọ mgbe m na-ezi ihe nʼụlọnsọ ukwu, ma unu ejideghị m. Ma ihe akwụkwọ nsọ kwuru aghaghị imezu.”
50 Then all Jesus' disciples deserted him and ran away.
Mgbe ahụ, ha niile hapụrụ ya gbalaga.
51 (One of his followers was a young man who was wearing only a linen garment.
Ọ dị otu nwokorobịa na-eso ya, ọ ji naanị akwa ọcha linin kpuchie onwe ya. Mgbe ha jidere ya,
52 They seized hold of him, but he ran off naked, leaving the garment behind.)
ọ hapụụrụ ha akwa ọcha linin ya, gbara ọtọ gbalaga.
53 They took Jesus to the high priest's house where all the chief priests, elders, and religious teachers had gathered.
Ha duuru Jisọs gakwuru onyeisi nchụaja, ha niile bụ ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị okenye na ndị ozizi iwu zukọrọ nʼebe ahụ.
54 Peter followed him at a distance, and went into the courtyard of the high priest's house. He sat down with the guards and warmed himself by the fire.
Pita sooro ha, ma ọ nọ nʼebe dị anya. O sooro ha bata nʼobi onyeisi nchụaja. Nʼebe ahụ, o sooro ndị nche nọdụ ọdụ na-anya ọkụ.
55 Inside the chief priests and the whole governing council were trying to find some evidence to have Jesus put to death, but they couldn't find anything.
Ndịisi nchụaja na ndịisi ikpe nʼụlọikpe ukwu nọ na-achọ ama megide Jisọs, ka ha nwee ike gbuo ya. Ma ọ dịghị nke ha chọtara.
56 Many were giving false testimony against him, but their statements didn't agree.
Ọtụtụ bịara gbaa ama ụgha megide ya, ma ama ha abụghị otu.
57 Some of them got up to speak falsely against Jesus.
Mgbe ahụ ụfọdụ biliri gbaa ama ụgha megide ya, sị,
58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple that human hands built, and in three days I will build another without hands.’”
“Anyị nụrụ mgbe o kwuru sị, ‘Aga m akwatu ụlọnsọ ukwu a nke e ji aka wuo, nʼụbọchị atọ aga m ewukwa ụlọ ọzọ, nke a na-ejighị aka wuo.’”
59 But even so their testimony didn't agree.
Ọ bụladị na nke a, ama ha niile adakọtakwaghị nʼotu.
60 Then the high priest stood up in front of the council, and asked Jesus, “Have you nothing to say in response to these charges made against you?”
Mgbe ahụ, onyeisi nchụaja biliri ọtọ nʼihu ha, jụọ Jisọs ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ na ị nweghị ihe ọbụla ị ga-aza? Gịnị ka i nwere ikwu banyere ama ndị a a na-agba megide gị?”
61 But Jesus remained silent and didn't answer. So the high priest asked again, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
Ma ọ gbakwara nkịtị, ọ zaghị ihe ọbụla. Ọzọkwa, onyeisi nchụaja jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ Kraịst, Ọkpara Onye a gọziri agọzi?”
62 “I am,” Jesus replied, “and you will see the Son of man sitting on the right of the Mighty One, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
Jisọs sịrị, “Abụ m ya, unu ga-ahụkwa Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-anọdụ ala nʼaka nri nke Onye ji ike niile, na-abịakwa nʼigwe ojii nke eluigwe.”
63 The high priest tore his clothes and asked, “Why do we need any more witnesses?
Onyeisi nchụaja dọwara uwe ya kwuo sị, “Gịnị mere anyị ji achọ ndị akaebe ọzọ?
64 You have heard the blasphemy! What's your reaction?” They all found him guilty and condemned him to death.
Unu anụla okwu nkwulu si ya nʼọnụ pụta! Gịnị bụ mkpebi unu?” Ha niile mara ya ikpe sị, “O kwesiri ka ọ nwụọ!”
65 Then some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him, hit him with their fists, and said, “Why don't you prophesy then, you ‘Prophet’!” The guards took him away and beat him up.
Mgbe ahụ ụfọdụ bidoro ịgbụ ya ọnụ mmiri asọ, jiri akwa kechie ya anya, tiekwa ya aka na-asị, “Buo amụma!” Ndị nche kpụpụtara ya tiekwa ya ihe.
66 Meanwhile Peter was down below in the courtyard. One of the high priest's servant-girls passed by,
Dịka Pita nọ nʼobi ahụ, otu nʼime ụmụ agbọghọ na-ejere onyeisi nchụaja ozi bịara nso ebe ọ nọ.
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, looked straight at him and said, “You were with Jesus of Nazareth too!”
Mgbe ọ hụrụ Pita ka ọ na-anya ọkụ, o leziri ya anya nke ọma, sị, “Ị bụ otu nʼime ndị na-eso Jisọs onye Nazaret ahụ.”
68 But he denied it. “I don't know what you're talking about or what you mean,” he replied. Then he went out to the forecourt, and a rooster crowed.
Ma ọ gọrọ agọ sị, “Amaghị m, maọbụ ghọtakwa ihe ị na-ekwu.” Ma ọ pụrụ gaa nʼụzọ e si abata. Mgbe ahụ oke ọkụkụ kwara akwa.
69 Seeing him there, the servant girl repeated to those standing around, “This man is one of them!”
Mgbe nwaagbọghọ ahụ hụrụ Pita ọzọ, o gosiri ya ndị ọzọ nọ nʼebe ahụ sị ha, “Nwoke a bụkwanụ otu nʼime ha.”
70 Once more Peter denied it. A little while later they said to Peter again, “You're definitely one of them because you're a Galilean too!”
Ma ọ gọkwara agọ ọzọ. Mgbe oge nta gasịrị, ndị guzo Pita nso sịrị ya, “Nʼezie, ị bụ otu nʼime ha, nʼihi na ị bụ onye Galili.”
71 Peter began calling down curses on himself and he swore, “I don't know this man who you're talking about.”
Mgbe ahụ o bidoro ịbụ onwe ya ọnụ, na ịṅụ iyi na-asị, “Amaghị m onye nwoke a unu na-ekwu okwu ya bụ.”
72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he realized what he'd done, he burst into tears.
Nʼotu oge ahụ, oke ọkụkụ kwara akwa nke ugboro abụọ. Mgbe ahụ Pita chetara okwu Jisọs gwara ya sị, “Tupu oke ọkụkụ akwaa akwa ugboro abụọ, ị ga-agọnarị m ugboro atọ.” Obi tiwara ya mee ka ọ kwaa akwa.
