Matthew 26
1 After Jesus had said all this, he told his disciples,
Niwa Yesu a tre ni tu kpyi biyi kle wawuua, a hla ni mrli koh ma ba,
2 “You know that it's Passover in two days time, and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified.”
Bi toh ndi ivi ha bati vu y'ba u vi u gan Rugran niye u ba vu Ivren Ndji nno ba kpan ni tu gran nhma kukron a”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of Caiaphas, the high priest.
Ba firist bi ninkon ba ni bi ninkon ndji ba, ba shubi ni koh chu firist wa ba yo wu ndi Kaifas.
4 There they plotted to arrest Jesus on some deceitful pretext and kill him.
Ba sronmu ni yay'bi ni nkon wa ba vu yesu wuu'a.
5 But they said, “Let's not do this during the festival so that the people don't riot.”
U ba tre ndi, “Ana ni nton gan Rugran na ni ndu tsi na ka wlu na”
6 While Jesus was staying at Simon the leper's house in Bethany,
Ni nton wa Yesu he ni Betani ni koh Sima u kpurua,
7 a woman came over to him carrying an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus' head while he was sitting eating. But when the disciples saw what she did, they were upset.
a si rli birli, u wari ka rihi ni kpala ba nye u tie le nda kasru ni tuma.
8 “What a terrible waste!” they objected.
U wa mrli koh ma ba toh'a, ba vra nfu nda tre, “Ani tu ngye mba a nji nye yi si tie meme.
9 “This perfume could've been sold for a lot of money and given to the poor!”
Ba ndi na le niwu nda kpa gbugbu nkle nno bi ya”.
10 Jesus was aware of what was going on and told them, “Why are you upset with this woman? She's done something wonderful for me!
U Yesu wa a toh mre mba a tre ni ba “Ni tu ngye bi yan wayi kpa? E a tie kpye ndindima ni mu.
11 You'll always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me.
Bizi he ni bi ya cacuwu u me bina zi he ni me na.
12 By pouring this perfume on my body she's prepared me for burial.
Wa a sru nyeyi ni kpamila a tie u rjumu.
13 I tell you the truth: wherever in the world this good news is spread, the story of what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Njanjimu mi hla yiwu ni wrji wa ba d'bu itre zizi yi'a ni ngbungblua wawuu ba hla kpye wa iwa tie nda taka ma”
14 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the chief priests
U ri nimi tso ba wa ba yowu ndi Yahuda Iskaroti kayi ni bi ninkon firist ba
15 and asked them, “How much will you pay me for betraying Jesus to you?” They paid him thirty silver coins.
nda tre, “Bi ne ngye mindi vuu nno yi?” Ba tsra shekels u dran se'tra nnowu.
16 From then on he looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Rji ni nton kima azi wa nkon wa ani vu nno ba'
17 On the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you to eat?”
Ni vi u mumla u gan rugran mrli koh ba ba' yeni Yesu nda tre, “Ni mameyi mba u son ki mla rli u gan rugran tie?”
18 Jesus told them, “Go into the city and find this particular man, and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is approaching. I'm coming to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’”
A hla “Hi ni ndji ri ni mi gbu ndi hla wu, mala tre “Inton tie whiewhiere. Mi tie gan rugran ni koh me ni mrli koh mu”.
19 The disciples did as Jesus told them, and prepared the Passover meal there.
Mrli koh ba ba' tie towa Yesu a hla bawu'a nda mla rli Rugran tie.
20 When evening came he sat down to eat with the Twelve.
Wa yalu tie a, a son nda rli ni mrli koh ma tso'a.
21 While they were eating he told them, “I tell you the truth: one of you is going to betray me.”
Wa ba ki rli'a, a tre “Njanjimu me hla ni yi wu iri mbi ni le'nime”
22 They were extremely upset. One after the other they asked him, “Lord, it's not me, is it?”
Ba'ka yi ni sron, nda ni mye wuni yiyri, “Ani tie bre meyi ba' Baci?”
23 “The one who's dipped his hand into the dish with me will betray me,” Jesus replied.
A saa “Wawu wa ayo woma si rli ni me ni kongo'a ahi wawuu yi ni le ni me.
24 “The Son of man will die just as it was prophesied about him, but what a disaster 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!”
Ivren Ndji ni hi towa ba nha ni tuma. Iya ndji wani woma ba le ni Vren Ndji'a! A ndi na bi ndu bana ngrji wuna”
25 Judas, the one who would betray Jesus, asked “It's not me, is it, Rabbi?” “You said it,” Jesus replied.
Yahuda, wa ani le ni wu'a tre, “A hi me?” A hla niwu, “U hla ki me”.
26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave pieces to the disciples. “Take and eat this for it is my body,” said Jesus.
Ba si rli, Yesu ka ban bredi nda tie lulu nda mrewu. Aka nno mrli koh ba nda tre ka tan. Iwayi hi kpamu”
27 Then he picked up the cup, blessed it, and gave it to them. “Drink from it, all of you,” he told them.
A ban kofi'a nda ngri nda ko nno ba nda tre, so wawu mbi wu.
28 “For this is my blood of the agreement, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Iwayi hi yimu u shirji wa ba kau hlega ndu ba wru latre gbugbu ndji hle.
29 However, I tell you, I won't drink this fruit of the vine until the day I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
Mi hla yiwu mina la'so ma (inabi) yi ngana se viwa mi sowu sisa niyi ni ngbuchu u tie mu”
30 After they'd sung a song, they left for the Mount of Olives.
W ba yo se'a ba rju hi ni ngblu u ze tun.
31 “All of you will abandon me tonight,” Jesus told them. “As Scripture says, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the flock of sheep will be completely scattered.’
U Yesu hla bawu, “Wawu mbi wu bi joku ni tu mu ni cuyi, niwa ba nha 'Mi wru wa ani nji gran ba, u nt'ma bi gran ba shangblan.
32 But after I have risen, I'll go ahead of you to Galilee.”
U mi ta ye wlunde mi hi Galili guci yiwu”
33 But Peter objected, “Even if everyone else abandons you, I'll never abandon you.”
U Bitru hla wu “U bata ni joku wawumba wu ni tie me, ime de mi tie bre joku”
34 “I'm telling you the truth,” Jesus told him, “This very night, before the cock crows, you'll deny me three times.”
Yesu hla wu, “Njanjimu mi hla wu, ni mi cuyi u kpatron tie kputra ndi wu toh me rli u gba ka tubu.
35 “Even if I have to die with you, I'll never deny you!” Peter insisted. And all the disciples said the same thing.
Bitru a hla ni wu, “Ani ta wa mi khwu ni wu'a mi na kpau tron” Ba mbru mrli koh ba ba tre kpye rirji me.
36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane. He told them, “Sit down here while I go over there and pray.”
Ni nton kima, Yesu ahi bi ni ba ni wrji wa ba yowu ndi Getsemani nda hla ni mrli koh maa “Kuson wa u me mi ni wa mu' ndi tie aduwa”
37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and he began to suffer agonizing sorrow and distress.
A nji Bitru ni mrli nlon Zabadi harli niwu nda si yi ni sron.
38 Then he said to them, “I am so overwhelmed with sadness that it's killing me. Wait here and keep watch with me.”
A hla bawu, “Idri mu ni lome kpukpo me to mi khwu. Ki wa ndi gben ni me”
39 He went a little farther forward, fell face down, and prayed. “My Father, please, if it's possible, let this cup of suffering be taken from me,” Jesus asked. “Even so, may it not be what I want but what you want.”
A c'bi hi tsame, nda ku ni shishi nda tie aduwa. A tre, “Itie mu ani ta tie tu, ndu kofi yi y'ba me yo. Nakima ana mre muna nduhi mre me.
40 He went back to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “What, you couldn't stay awake with me for just one hour?
A ye ni mrli koh ba nda toh basi kruna, nda hla ni Bitru, “A ngye, bina gben ni me u wru nton ri me na?
41 Stay awake and pray, so that you don't fall into temptation. Yes, the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
Gben ndi tie aduwa ndu yi na joku ni tsra na Isron'a ni son u kpa tie whie me”
42 He went away a second time and prayed. “My Father, if this cup cannot be taken from me without me drinking from it, then your will be done,” he said.
A hi kpama kpu uha nda tie aduwa. a tre, “Itie mu iwa ni ta na y'ba hi na ndi gbigbi mi so wu mre me'a ka tie”
43 He went back and found them sleeping, for they just couldn't stay awake.
A ye ngarli nda toh basi kruna, u shishi mba ba ron.
44 So he left them once more, and went off and prayed a third time, repeating the same things.
Ala ka ba don ngarli nda hi ka tie aduwa inkpu u tra nda la tre to wa a tre'a.
45 Then he returned to the disciples, and told them, “How can you still be sleeping and resting? Look, the time has come. The Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners!
U Yesu a ye ni mrli koh ba nda tre ni bawu, “B i rli kruna, ndi ki kpami mengyen? To inton tie whiewhiere u ba le ni Vren Ndji ni wo bi latre.
46 Get up, let's go! See, the one who's betraying me has arrived.”
Wlu, kie ndi hi. To, waa ani le' ni me'a ahe whiewhiere ni me”
47 As he said this, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived with a large mob armed with swords and clubs sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.
A he si tre, Yahuda iri nimi tsoba kaye Ijbu ndji ba hu rji ni ba'cu firist ni bininkon u ndjiba. Ba nji ba njingban ni ba kpala (ngbonhon).
48 The betrayer had arranged to give them a signal: “The one that I kiss, that's him—arrest him,” he'd told them.
Indji wa ni le ni Yesu'a a tsro ba ngban nda hla “Indji wa me nha gboble ni wu'a, a wawuyi” Bika vuu.
49 Judas came up to Jesus immediately, and said, “Hello, Rabbi,” and kissed him.
A gbla hi ni Yesu nda tre “Mi ci, mala!” nda nha gboble ni wu.
50 “My friend, do what you came to do,” Jesus said to Judas. So they came and grabbed hold of Jesus, and arrested him.
Yesu a hla niwu “Kpanmu, tie kpye wa u ye tie'a” U ba ye sawo mba ni tu Yesu nda vuu.
51 One of those who was with Jesus reached for his sword and pulled it out. He struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
U ri wa ana he ni Yesu'a ka n'ma woma rju, nda cu inji ngban nda sren ton vrenkoh u chu firist cuu taga.
52 But Jesus told him, “Put your sword away. Everyone who fights with the sword will die by the sword.
U Yesu hla wu, “Ka njingban me yo ni hra ma, e bi wa ba nzu ngban ani nji ngban ba khwu.
53 Don't you think I could ask my Father, and he'd immediately send more than twelve legions of angels?
Ka u ya mina toh yo tie mu ndu ton malaiku zan j'bu tso.
54 But then how could the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must be like this?”
U ba tie ni he ndu tre u embe ba ndu tsra din a gbigbi ndu wa tie toyi.
55 Then Jesus told the mob, “Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I was some kind of dangerous criminal? Every day I sat in the Temple teaching and you didn't arrest me then.
Ni nton yi Yesu a hla ni j'bu ndji ba “Bi ye vu me ni nji ngban ni ngbonhon na mi ndji y'bi? cacuwu mi son ndi tsro ni hekali u bi na vu me na.
56 But all this is happening to fulfill what the prophets wrote.” Then all the disciples abandoned him and ran away.
Ikpyi bayi wawuu ba tie ndu nha bi Totsu'a ye tsra” Nikima, mrli koh ba ba'ka tsutsu kau don.
57 Those who'd arrested Jesus took him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the religious teachers and elders had gathered.
Biwa ba vu Yesu'a ba njiwu hi ni kaifas ninkon firist, u bi nha ni bi ninkon ba kia.
58 Peter followed him at a distance, and went into the high priest's courtyard. He sat there with the guards to see how things would end.
U Bitru kasi hu gbugbanmu hi ni koh ninkon u firist ba. A ri hi mi nda ka kuson ni bi gbyen ba nda ikpye'a ba ti'a.
59 The chief priests and the whole council were trying to find some false evidence against Jesus so they could put him to death.
Ninkon u firist ba ni (majalisa) basi wa kpye u ce wa ba hla ni tu Yesu nda vu wuu.
60 But they couldn't find anything, even though many false witnesses came forward. Eventually two came forward
Bana vu ni kpyeri na, ko ni wa indji gbugbuwu ba rju nda tie ce. U indji harli bari ba rju
61 and reported, “This man said, ‘I can destroy God's Temple, and rebuild it in three days.’”
nda tre, “Indji yi tre mi toh zi hekali Rji yi ndi mewu ni vi tra”
62 The high priest stood up and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What do you have to say in your defense?”
Ninkon u firist ba ka wlunde nda tre ni wu, “U na he kpye wa u saa na? Ahi ngye mba basi tre ni tu me?”
63 But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to Jesus, “In the name of the living God I place you under oath. Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
U Yesu ka krli ni ngbangbi. Injii ninkon u firist a tre, “mi yo wu ni nde Rji u (sisren) hla ni tawu ka wuyi u Kristi Ivren Rji.”
64 “You said it,” Jesus replied. “And I also tell you that in the future you'll see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Yesu saa ni wu, “U hla kime ye. U mi hla wu, rji zizanyi u toh Vren Ndji a son ni wo rli u ngbengblen nasi ye ni tu kpa u shulu”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, and said, “He's speaking blasphemy! Why do we need any witnesses? Look, now you've heard for yourselves his blasphemy!
Ninton kima injii ninkon u firist a y'ba ba nklon ma nda tre, “A tre latre!” u kie wa ngye ngarli? Tomba zizanyi kie wo latre'a.
66 What's your verdict?” “Guilty! He deserves to die!” they answered.
Ahi ngye imre mbi? Ba saa nda tre “A mla u khwu”
67 Then they spat in his face and beat him. Some of them slapped him with their hands,
Ninton kima, baka sru nten sruu ni shishi nda tsiwu nda kpan wu ni kprji wo mba,
68 and said, “Prophesy to us, you ‘Messiah’! Who just hit you?”
nda tre, hla tsu na tawu, uwu Kristi. Ahi nha mba Kpanwu?”
69 Meanwhile Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came up to him, and said, “You were with Jesus the Galilean too!”
Bitru a son ni korah bubu u bla tre a, u vrenwa ri, igran kaye ni wu nda tre, “Iwu ngame u he ni Yesu ni Galili”.
70 But he denied it in front of everyone. “I don't know what you're talking about,” he said.
A kpatron ni shishi mba wawuu nda tre, “mina toh kpye wa u si tr'a na”
71 When he went back to the courtyard entrance another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
Niwa a rju hi ni nyu nkontra, ivren wa ri, igran a toh nda tre ni wa ba he ni kima, “Iguyi ana he ni Yesu u Nazaret”.
72 Once again he denied it, saying with an oath, “I don't know him.”
Wa'ka' kpatron nikima ngarli, nda shirji tia, a tre, “Mina toh Indji mba na!”
73 A little while later the people standing there came up to Peter and said, “You definitely are one of them. Your accent gives you away.”
Inton'a y'ba tsame u waa ba klri-krli a baka ye ni Bitru nda hla niwu, “cucu uri mba ngame, ilme a mba nhrawu.
74 Then he started to swear: “Curses on me if I'm a liar! I don't know the man!” Immediately the cock crowed.
Wa a ri la'nyu nda ni shirji nda ni tre, “Mina toh Indji mba na” U gba a ti gbla tubu.
75 Then Peter remembered what Jesus had told him: “Before the cock crows, three times you will deny knowing me.” He went outside and wept bitterly.
Bitru ka taka itre wa Yesu a hlaa, “U tie san mu ikpu tra rli u'gba ka tubu” A rju hi ni kahlan nda kayoi kpukpo me”
