Matthew 26
1 And it came to passe, when Iesus had finished all these sayings, he saide vnto his disciples,
Yesu wiee nsɛm yi nyinaa ka no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se,
2 Ye know that after two dayes is ye Passeouer, and the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered to be crucified.
“Sɛnea munim no aka nnaanu na Twam Afahyɛ no adu, na wobeyi Onipa Ba no ama, na wɔabɔ no asennua mu.”
3 Then assembled together the chiefe Priests, and the Scribes, and the Elders of ye people into the hall of the high Priest called Caiaphas:
Saa bere no ara na asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin bi ahyia mu wɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin Kaiafa fi,
4 And consulted together that they might take Iesus by subtiltie, and kill him.
retu agyina ahwehwɛ ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so akyere Yesu, akum no a obiara renhu akyi.
5 But they sayd, Not on the feast day, least any vprore be among the people.
Nanso wɔkae se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkyere no Twam Afahyɛ no mu, anyɛ saa a, ɛde basabasayɛ bɛba ɔman no mu.”
6 And when Iesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
Afei Yesu kɔɔ Betania na ɔkɔɔ Simon ɔkwatani fi.
7 There came vnto him a woman, which had a boxe of very costly oyntment, and powred it on his head, as he sate at the table.
Ɔwɔ hɔ redidi no, ɔbea bi a okura ngo huamhuam bi a ne bo yɛ den yiye toa ma baa hɔ, behwie guu Yesu tirim.
8 And when his disciples sawe it, they had indignation, saying, What needed this waste?
Asuafo no hui no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ. Wɔkae se, “Adesɛe yi ase ne dɛn?
9 For this oyntment might haue bene solde for much, and bene giuen to the poore.
Anka wobetumi atɔn srade huamhuam yi anya sika bebree de ama ahiafo.”
10 And Iesus knowing it, sayde vnto them, Why trouble yee the woman? for shee hath wrought a good woorke vpon me.
Yesu huu wɔn adwene na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Adɛn na mohaw ɔbea yi? Wayɛ ade pa ama me.
11 For yee haue the poore alwayes with you, but me shall yee not haue alwaies.
Mo ne ahiafo wɔ ha daa na me de, me ne mo nni hɔ daa.
12 For in that shee powred this oyntment on my bodie, shee did it to burie me.
Wahwie ngo huamhuam yi agu me so de asiesie me nipadua ama me sie.
13 Verely I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Gospel shall bee preached throughout all the worlde, there shall also this that shee hath done, be spoken of for a memoriall of her.
Nokware, mise mo sɛ, wɔbɛka nea ɔyɛe yi wɔ wiase baabiara a wɔka asɛmpa no de akae no.”
14 Then one of the twelue, called Iudas Iscariot, went vnto the chiefe Priestes,
Afei Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafo dumien no mu baako kɔɔ asɔfo mpanyin no nkyɛn
15 And said, What will ye giue me, and I will deliuer him vnto you? and they appoynted vnto him thirtie pieces of siluer.
kobisaa wɔn se, “Sɛ miyi Yesu ma mo a, ahe na mode bɛma me?” Wɔmaa no dwetɛ mpɔw aduasa.
16 And from that time, he sought opportunitie to betraie him.
Efi saa bere no, Yuda hwehwɛɛ ɔkwan a ɔbɛfa so ayi no ama wɔn.
17 Nowe on the first day of the feast of vnleauened bread the disciples came to Iesus, saying vnto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eate the Passeouer?
Apiti Afahyɛ da a edi kan no, asuafo no baa Yesu nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Ɛhe na wopɛ sɛ yekodi Twam Afahyɛ no?”
18 And he said, Goe yee into the citie to such a man, and say to him, The master saieth, My time is at hande: I will keepe the Passeouer at thine house with my disciples.
Obuaa wɔn se, “Monkɔ kurow no mu nkohu ɔpanyin asiamasi nka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Kyerɛkyerɛfo no se, Me bere abɛn, na wo fi na me ne nʼasuafo no bedi Twam Afahyɛ no.’”
19 And the disciples did as Iesus had giuen them charge, and made readie the Passeouer.
Asuafo no dii nea ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn no so, yɛɛ Twam Afahyɛ aduan no.
20 So when the Euen was come, hee sate downe with the twelue.
Anwummere no na ɔne Dumien no te adidii.
21 And as they did eate, he sayde, Verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betraie me.
Wɔredidi no ɔkae se, “Mereka mo nokware, mo mu baako beyi me ama.”
22 And they were exceeding sorowfull, and began euery one of them to say vnto him, Is it I, Master?
Asɛm yi maa wɔn werɛ howee yiye, na wofii ase bisabisaa mmaako mmaako se, “Awurade, ɛyɛ me ana?”
23 And hee answered and sayde, Hee that dippeth his hande with me in the dish, hee shall betraie me.
Yesu buae se, “Nea ɔne me nsa da asanka baako mu no, ɔno na obeyi me ama.
24 Surely the Sonne of man goeth his way, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the Sonne of man is betrayed: it had bene good for that man, if hee had neuer bene borne.
Onipa Ba no rekɔ sɛnea wɔakyerɛw afa ne ho de, nanso onipa a obeyi no ama no, nnue! Sɛ wɔanwo saa onipa no mpo a, anka eye.”
25 Then Iudas which betraied him, answered and sayde, Is it I, Master? He sayde vnto him, Thou hast sayd it.
Yuda a obeyi no ama nso bisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ɛyɛ me ana?” Yesu buaa no se, “Woaka.”
26 And as they did eate, Iesus tooke the bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gaue it to the disciples, and sayd, Take, eate: this is my bodie.
Bere a wɔredidi no. Yesu faa brodo, na ohyiraa so bubuu mu, de maa nʼasuafo no kae se: “Munnye nni, eyi ne me nipadua.”
27 Also he tooke the cuppe, and when he had giuen thankes, he gaue it them, saying, Drinke ye all of it.
Na ɔfaa kuruwa no, na ɔdaa ase no, ɔde maa wɔn kae se, “Mo nyinaa monnom bi,
28 For this is my blood of the Newe Testament, that is shedde for many, for the remission of sinnes.
na eyi ne me mogya a ɛhyɛ Apam Foforo no mu den, a wohwie gu ma nnipa bebree nya bɔnefakyɛ.
29 I say vnto you, that I will not drinke henceforth of this fruit of the vine vntil that day, when I shall drinke it new with you in my Fathers kingdome.
Mise mo sɛ, merennom saa nsa yi bi bio da, de bɛkɔ akosi da a me ne mo bɛnom bi bio wɔ mʼAgya Ahenni no mu.”
30 And when they had sung a Psalme, they went out into the mount of Oliues.
Na wɔtoo dwom wiee no, wofii adi kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so.
31 Then saide Iesus vnto them, All yee shall be offended by me this night: for it is written, I wil smite the shepheard, and the sheepe of the flocke shalbe scattered.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Anadwo yi, mo nyinaa beguan agya me. Na wɔakyerɛw se, “‘wɔbɛbɔ oguanhwɛfo no, na nguankuw no abɔ apete.’
32 But after I am risen againe, I will go before you into Galile.
Na sɛ miwu sɔre a, medi mo kan akɔ Galilea.”
33 But Peter aunswered, and sayde vnto him, Though that al men should be offended by thee, yet will I neuer be offended.
Petro buae se, “Sɛ nnipa nyinaa beguan agya wo a, me de, merenguan nnya wo da.”
34 Iesus sayde vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, that this night, before the cocke crow, thou shalt denie me thrise.
Yesu buae se, “Nokware mise wo sɛ, ansa na akokɔ bɛbɔn no, na woapa me mprɛnsa!”
35 Peter saide vnto him, Though I should die with thee, I will in no case denie thee. Likewise also sayd all the disciples.
Petro pae mu kae se, “Mpo sɛ etwa sɛ me ne wo wu a, merempa wo da!” Asuafo no nyinaa nso kaa saa asɛm koro yi ara.
36 Then went Iesus with them into a place which is called Gethsemane, and said vnto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I goe, and pray yonder.
Yesu de wɔn kɔɔ baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Getsemane. Woduu hɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Montena ha na merekɔ hɔ akɔbɔ mpae.”
37 And hee tooke vnto him Peter, and the two sonnes of Zebedeus, and began to waxe sorowfull, and grieuously troubled.
Ɔfaa Petro ne Sebedeo mma baanu no kaa ne ho, na ne werɛ fii ase howee, na ne ho nso yeraw no.
38 Then sayde Iesus vnto them, My soule is very heauie, euen vnto the death: tarie yee here, and watch with me.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awerɛhow ahyɛ me kra so de kɔ owu mu. Montena ha na mo ne me nwɛn.”
39 So hee went a litle further, and fell on his face, and praied, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup passe from me: neuerthelesse, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Na ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra, de nʼanim kobutuw fam bɔɔ mpae se, “MʼAgya, sɛ ebetumi a, ma wonyi kuruwa yi mfi me so. Nanso nea wopɛ na ɛnyɛ na ɛnyɛ nea mepɛ.”
40 After, hee came vnto the disciples, and founde them a sleepe, and sayde to Peter, What? coulde yee not watch with me one houre?
Na ɔsan baa asuafo baasa no nkyɛn behuu sɛ wɔadeda. Ɔfrɛɛ Petro bisaa no se, “Petro, woantumi antena ase ne me anwɛn dɔnhwerew baako pɛ mpo?
41 Watch, and praie, that yee enter not into tentation: the spirit in deede is readie, but the flesh is weake.
Monwɛn na mommɔ mpae, na moankɔ sɔhwɛ mu. Honhom no pɛ de, nanso ɔhonam no yɛ mmerɛw!”
42 Againe he went away the second time, and praied, saying, O my Father, if this cuppe can not passe away from mee, but that I must drinke it, thy will be done.
Ɔsan gyaw wɔn hɔ nea ɛto so abien kɔbɔɔ mpae se, “MʼAgya, sɛ wɔrenyi kuruwa yi mfi me so, na nom ara na ɛsɛ sɛ menom a, nea wopɛ nyɛ.”
43 And he came, and founde them a sleepe againe, for their eyes were heauie.
Ɔsan baa wɔn nkyɛn bio behuu wɔn sɛ wɔadeda efisɛ na wɔn ani kum yiye.
44 So he left them and went away againe, and praied the third time, saying the same woordes.
Ɔsan kɔɔ mpaebɔ a ɛto so abiɛsa so kɔbɔɔ mpae kaa asɛm koro no ara.
45 Then came he to his disciples, and said vnto them, Sleepe henceforth, and take your rest: behold, the houre is at hand, and the Sonne of man is giuen into the hands of sinners.
Ɔsan baa asuafo no nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Afei de, monna na monhome. Nanso dɔn no adu. Wɔrebeyi Onipa Ba no ahyɛ nnebɔneyɛfo nsa!
46 Rise, let vs goe: beholde, hee is at hande that betraieth me.
Monsɔre na yɛnkɔ! Monhwɛ! Nea ɔreyi me ama no na ɔreba no!”
47 And while hee yet spake, loe Iudas, one of the twelue, came, and with him a great multitude with swordes and staues, from the high Priests and Elders of the people.
Ogu so rekasa no, Yuda a ɔyɛ asuafo dumien no mu baako ne dɔm a Yudafo mpanyin asoma wɔn a wokurakura afoa ne nkontimmaa baa hɔ.
48 Now he that betraied him, had giuen them a token, saying, Whomesoeuer I shall kisse, that is he, laie holde on him.
Na Yuda aka akyerɛ wɔn se, “Nea mefew nʼafono no ne onipa no; mokyere no”
49 And forthwith he came to Iesus, and sayd, God saue thee, Master, and kissed him.
Yuda baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛbam no kae se, “Me wura!” Na ofew nʼafono.
50 Then Iesus sayde vnto him, Friende, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laide hands on Iesus, and tooke him.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Damfo, nea wobaa ha se worebɛyɛ no, yɛ no ntɛm.” Ɛhɔ ara, wɔn a wɔne Yuda nam no kyeree Yesu.
51 And behold, one of them which were with Iesus, stretched out his hand, and drewe his sworde, and strooke a seruaunt of the high Priest, and smote off his eare.
Wɔn a wɔka Yesu ho no mu baako twee nʼafoa de twaa Ɔsɔfopanyin no akoa bi aso.
52 Then sayde Iesus vnto him, Put vp thy sworde into his place: for all that take the sworde, shall perish with the sworde.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wʼafoa no to nea ɛda. Na wɔn a wɔtwe afoa no, afoa ano na wobewu.
53 Either thinkest thou, that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will giue me moe then twelue legions of Angels?
Munnim sɛ metumi aka akyerɛ mʼAgya na wasoma nʼabɔfo mpempem aba ntɛm so, na wɔabɛbɔ yɛn ho ban?
54 Howe then shoulde the Scriptures bee fulfilled, which say, that it must be so?
Nanso sɛ meyɛ saa a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na nea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se ɛsɛ sɛ esi wɔ eyi ho no bɛba mu?”
55 The same houre sayde Iesus to the multitude, Ye be come out as it were against a thiefe, with swordes and staues to take mee: I sate daily teaching in the Temple among you, and yee tooke me not.
Bere no mu ara na Yesu bisaa dɔm a wɔbaa ne so no se, “Midi atuatewfo anim nti na mode afoa ne nkontimmaa aba me so sɛ mode rebɛkyere me yi? Metenaa mo nkyɛn kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ hyiadan mu da biara, nso moansiw me kwan.
56 But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the Prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsooke him, and fled.
Nanso eyi nyinaa aba sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nea adiyifo no kae wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm mu no bɛba mu.” Saa bere no ara mu na asuafo no nyinaa guan gyaa no.
57 And they tooke Iesus, and led him to Caiaphas the hie Priest, where the Scribes and the Elders were assembled.
Afei dɔm a wɔkyeree Yesu no de no kɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin Kaiafa anim, baabi a mmarakyerɛfo ne Yudafo mpanyin nyinaa ahyia hɔ.
58 And Peter followed him a farre off vnto the hie Priestes hall, and went in, and sate with the seruants to see the ende.
Petro tew ne ho dii nnipadɔm no akyi baa Ɔsɔfopanyin no fi hɔ bi. Ɔkɔtenaa asomfo a wɔwɔ hɔ no mu se ɔrehwɛ asɛm a ebesi.
59 Nowe the chiefe Priestes and the Elders, and all the whole councill sought false witnesse against Iesus, to put him to death.
Asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo asennifo akunini nyinaa hyiaa wɔ hɔ hwehwɛɛ sɛ wobenya nnansefo bi a wobedi adansekurum ato Yesu so, na wɔagyina so abu no kumfɔ.
60 But they founde none, and though many false witnesses came, yet founde they none: but at the last came two false witnesses,
Nnipa bebree bedii adanse, nanso wohuu sɛ wɔredi adansekurumu, efisɛ na wɔn nsɛm a wɔka no nyinaa bɔ abira. Akyiri no, nnipa baanu bi ba bɛkae
61 And saide, This man saide, I can destroie the Temple of God, and build it in three daies.
se, “Saa onipa yi kae se, ‘Metumi abubu Onyankopɔn asɔredan na masi no nnansa!’”
62 Then the chiefe Priest arose, and sayde to him, Answerest thou nothing? What is the matter that these men witnesse against thee?
Ɔsɔfopanyin no sɔre bisaa Yesu se, “Dɛn na wowɔ ka? Wokaa saa anaasɛ woanka saa?”
63 But Iesus helde his peace. Then the chiefe Priest answered, and saide to him, I charge thee sweare vnto vs by the liuing God, to tell vs, If thou be that Christ the Sonne of God, or no.
Nanso Yesu ammua no. Ɔsɔfopanyin no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Meka Onyankopɔn teasefo no sɛ, sɛ wone Agyenkwa no, Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka kyerɛ yɛn!”
64 Iesus saide to him, Thou hast saide it: neuerthelesse I say vnto you, hereafter shall ye see the Sonne of man, sitting at the right hande of the power of God, and come in the cloudes of the heauen.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yiw, woaka. Na mereka kyerɛ mo nyinaa: Efi nnɛ mubehu Onipa Ba no sɛ mete Onyankopɔn nifa na ɔnam omununkum mu resan aba.”
65 Then the hie Priest rent his clothes, saying, Hee hath blasphemed, what haue wee any more neede of witnesses? beholde: nowe yee haue heard his blasphemie.
Ɔsɔfopanyin no sunsuan nʼatade mu teɛɛ mu se, “Abususɛm! Nnansefo bɛn na wɔn ho hia yɛn bio? Mo nyinaa ate abususɛm a ɔkae no!
66 What thinke yee? They answered, and said, He is guiltie of death.
Asɛm bɛn na mowɔ ka?” Wɔn nyinaa teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔsɛ owu!”
67 Then spet they in his face, and buffeted him, and other smote him with roddes,
Afei wɔtee ntasu guu nʼani so. Ebinom bobɔɔ no akuturuku na ebinom nso bobɔɔ no asotɔre
68 Saying, Prophecie to vs, O Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
kae se, “Wone Agyenkwa no! Kyerɛ yɛn nea ɔbɔɔ wo?”
69 Peter sate without in the hall, and a maide came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Iesus of Galile:
Saa bere no na Petro te adiwo. Abaawa bi baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo nso, na wo ne Yesu na ɛnam. Mo nyinaa mufi Galilea.”
70 But hee denied before them all, saying, I wote not what thou saiest.
Nanso Petro san se, “Minnim nea woreka yi ho hwee.”
71 And when hee went out into the porche, another maide sawe him, and sayde vnto them that were there, This man was also with Iesus of Nazareth.
Akyiri no, abaawa foforo bi hyiaa no wɔ ɔpon bi ano ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a ɔne wɔn gyina hɔ no se, “Na saa ɔbarima yi ne Yesu Nasareni no na ɛnam.”
72 And againe he denied with an othe, saying, I knowe not the man.
Petro de ntam san bio se, “Minnim saa onipa a moreka ne ho asɛm no.”
73 So after a while, came vnto him they that stoode by, and sayde vnto Peter, Surely thou art also one of them: for euen thy speache bewraieth thee.
Ɛkyɛe kakra no, mmarima a wogyina hɔ no bi bɛka kyerɛɛ Petro se, “Yenim sɛ woyɛ nʼasuafo no mu baako, na wo kasa nso da wo adi sɛ woyɛ Galileani.”
74 Then began hee to curse himselfe, and to sweare, saying, I knowe not the man. And immediately the cocke crewe.
Petro fii ase dii nsew, kekaa ntam se, “Minnim onipa no!” Amono mu hɔ ara na akokɔ bɔnee.
75 Then Peter remembred the wordes of Iesus, which had sayde vnto him, Before the cocke crowe thou shalt denie me thrise. So he went out, and wept bitterly.
Ɛhɔ na Petro kaee asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Akokɔ remmɔn na woapa me mprɛnsa” no. Na ofii adi kosui.
