Matthew 27
1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
Mgbe chi bọrọ, ndịisi nchụaja niile na ndị okenye gbara izu megide Jisọs otu ha ga-esi gbuo ya.
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Ya mere, ha kere ya agbụ, duru ya pụọ, nyefee ya nʼaka Pailet onye bụ gọvanọ.
3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Mgbe Judas, onye ahụ rara Jisọs nye, hụrụ na a maala Jisọs ikpe ọnwụ, o chegharịrị weghachikwara ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye iri ego ọlaọcha atọ ahụ.
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see you to that.
Ọ kwuru sị, “Emehiela m, site na ịrara onye aka ya dị ọcha nye ọnwụ.” Ma ha sịrị, “Nke ahụ agbasaghị anyị, ọ bụ mkpa dịrị gị.”
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Ọ wụsara ego ọlaọcha ahụ nʼala ụlọnsọ, pụọ gaa kwụọ ụdọ.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
Ndịisi nchụaja tụtụkọtara ego ahụ kwuo sị, “O megidere iwu itinye ego a nʼime ụlọakụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ ego ọbara.”
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
Mgbe ha gbasịrị izu, ha kwekọtara ma were ego ahụ zụta ala nʼaka otu ọkpụ ite. Ha mere ala ahụ ka ọ bụrụ ebe a na-eli ndị ọbịa.
8 Why that field was called, The field of blood, to this day.
Nke a mere e ji na-akpọ ala ahụ, “Ala Ọbara,” ruo taa.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, okwu e kwuru site nʼọnụ Jeremaya onye amụma mezuru. “Ha tụtụkọtara mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha iri atọ, bụ ọnụahịa onye ahụ, nke ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ Izrel kpebiri na a ga-akwụ nʼisi ya.
10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
Ha ji ego ahụ zụọ ubi onye ọkpụ ite, dị ka Onyenwe anyị nyere m iwu.”
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say.
Nʼoge a Jisọs guzo nʼihu gọvanọ. Gọvanọ jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ eze ndị Juu?” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Gị onwe gị kwuru ya.”
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Mgbe ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye boro ya ebubo ụgha, o kwughị ihe ọbụla.
13 Then said Pilate to him, Hear you not how many things they witness against you?
Ya mere, Pailet sịrị ya, “Ị naghị anụ ihe ndị a niile ha na-ebo gị?”
14 And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor marveled greatly.
Ma ọ zaghị ọ bụladị otu mkpụrụ okwu nʼebubo ndị ahụ. Ihe a gbagwojuru gọvanọ anya nke ukwuu.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Ugbu a, ọ bụ omenaala gọvanọ nʼoge mmemme na ọ ga-ahapụ otu onye mkpọrọ, bụ onye igwe mmadụ họọrọ.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Ma nʼoge a e nwere otu onye mkpọrọ nke ọtụtụ mmadụ maara nke ọma. A na-akpọ Jisọs Barabas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
Mgbe igwe mmadụ niile zukọrọ, Pailet sịrị ha, “Onye ka unu chọrọ ka m hapụrụ unu, ọ bụ Jisọs Barabas ka ọ bụ Jisọs onye a na-akpọ Kraịst?”
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Nʼihi na ọ maara nke ọma na ọ bụ site nʼekworo ka ha ji rara Jisọs nye nʼaka ya.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have you nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
Mgbe ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu oche ikpe ya, nwunye ya zitere ozi sị ya, “Wepụkwa aka gị nʼihe gbasara nwoke onye ezi omume ahụ. Nʼihi na ahụjuru m anya na nrọ nʼabalị gara aga nʼihi ya.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Ma ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye kwagidere igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha rịọ ya, ka ọ hapụrụ ha Barabas, ma nye ha Jisọs ka ha gbuo ya.
21 The governor answered and said to them, Whether of the two will you that I release to you? They said, Barabbas.
Ọzọkwa, gọvanọ sịrị ha, “Nʼime mmadụ abụọ ndị a onye ka unu chọrọ ka m hapụrụ unu?” Ha sịrị, “Barabas!”
22 Pilate says to them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.
Pailet sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka m ga-eme Jisọs onye a na-akpọ Kraịst?” Ha niile sịrị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị? Olee ihe ọjọọ o mere?” Ma ha tiri mkpu karịa ka ha si eti na mbụ, na-asị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe! Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see you to it.
Mgbe Pailet hụrụ na o nweghị ihe ọ pụrụ ime, kama na ụzụ na ọgbaaghara na-amalite. O weere mmiri kwọọ aka ya nʼihu igwe mmadụ ahụ sị ha, “Aka m dị ọcha nʼebe ọbara nwoke a dị. Jirinụ aka unu hụ maka ya.”
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Igwe mmadụ ahụ zaghachiri ya nʼotu olu sị, “Ka ọbara ya dị nʼisi anyị na nʼisi ụmụ anyị!”
26 Then released he Barabbas to them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Mgbe ahụ ọ hapụụrụ ha Barabas. Mgbe ọ pịachara Jisọs ihe, ọ raara ya nye ka ha kpọgide ya nʼobe.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered to him the whole band of soldiers.
Mgbe ahụ ndị agha gọvanọ duuru Jisọs baa nʼogige ụlọ ndị agha, mee ka otu ndị agha niile gbaa ya gburugburu.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Ha yipụrụ ya uwe ya, yinye ya uwe mwụda na-acha uhie uhie.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Ha kpara okpueze nke e ji ogwu mee, kpukwasị ya nʼisi. Ha tinyekwara ya mkpara achara nʼaka nri, gbuo ikpere nʼala nʼihu ya, na-akwa ya emo na-asị, “Ekele, Eze ndị Juu!”
30 And they spit on him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
Ha gbụrụ ya ọnụ mmiri asọ, werekwa osisi ahụ kụọ ya nʼisi ọtụtụ mgbe.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Mgbe ha ji ya mechaa ihe ọchị, ha yipụrụ ya uwe ahụ, yinyekwa ya uwe nke ya, duuru ya pụọ, ịga kpọgide ya nʼobe.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Mgbe ha na-apụ, ha zutere otu nwoke onye obodo Sirini a na-akpọ Saimọn. Ha manyere ya ka o buru obe ya.
33 And when they were come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼebe a na-akpọ Gọlgọta (nke pụtara, “ebe okpokoro isi”).
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
Ha nyere ya mmanya a gwara ọgwụ ilu ka ọ ṅụọ. Mgbe o detụrụ ya ire, o kweghị ya ọṅụṅụ.
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and on my clothing did they cast lots.
Mgbe ha kpọgidechara ya nʼelu obe. Ha fere nza nke ha jiri kee uwe ya nʼetiti onwe ha.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
Ha nọdụkwara ala nʼebe ahụ na-eche ya nche.
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Nʼelu ebe isi ya dị, ka ha debere ihe ha dekwasịrị ebubo ha boro ya. Nke a bụ ihe ha dere: Onye a bụ Jisọs, Eze ndị Juu.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
Ha kpọgidekwara ya na ndị ohi abụọ nʼobe. Otu onye nʼaka nri, onye nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe ya.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
Ndị na-agafe nʼụzọ na-ekwutọ ya, na-efufekwa isi ha,
40 And saying, You that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
na-asịkwa, “Leenụ onye nwere ike ịkwatu ụlọnsọ Chineke wughachi ya na mkpụrụ ụbọchị atọ! Zọpụtanụ onwe gị! Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke si nʼelu obe ahụ rịdata!”
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
Ndịisi nchụaja, ndị ozizi iwu na ndị okenye sokwa na-eme ya ihe ọchị, na-asị,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
“Ọ zọpụtara ndị ọzọ, ma o nweghị ike ịzọpụta onwe ya. Ọ bụ eze ndị Izrel; ya si nʼelu obe rịdata ugbu a, anyị ga-ekwerekwa na ya.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Ọ tụkwasịrị Chineke obi, ọ bụrụ na ọ masịrị Chineke, ya napụta ya ugbua, nʼihi na o kwuru sị, ‘Abụ m Ọkpara Chineke.’”
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
Ọ bụladị ndị ohi ahụ a kpọgidekọrọ ha na ya nʼobe nọkwa na-akparị ya.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour.
Ma site nʼelekere iri na abụọ nke ehihie ruo nʼelekere atọ nke ehihie, ọchịchịrị gbachikọtara nʼala ahụ niile.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Nʼoge dị ka elekere atọ nke ehihie, Jisọs tiri mkpu nʼoke olu sị, “Elọi, Elọi, lama sabaktani?” (nke pụtara, “Chineke m, Chineke m, gịnị mere i jiri hapụ m?”).
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elias.
Mgbe ụfọdụ ndị guzo nʼebe ahụ nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị, “Ọ na-akpọ Ịlaịja.”
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
Nʼotu oge ahụ kwa otu onye nʼime ha gbaara ọsọ were ogbo denye ya na mmanya gbara ụka, fanye ya nʼosisi, welie ya elu, chee ya ka ọ ṅụọ.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Ma ndị ọzọ sịrị, “Hapụnụ, ka anyị lee ma Ịlaịja ọ ga-abịa ịzọpụta ya.”
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Ọzọkwa, Jisọs jiri oke olu tie mkpu, kubie ume.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Nʼotu ntabi anya ahụ kwa, akwa mgbochi nke ụlọnsọ ahụ gbawara site nʼelu ruo nʼala. Ala makwara jijiji. Nkume tiwasịkwara.
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Ala ili meghere. A hụrụ ọtụtụ ndị nsọ, ndị nwụrụ anwụ, ka e mere ka ha si nʼọnwụ bilie.
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
Mgbe ha sitere nʼọnwụ bilie, ha hapụrụ ili ha banye nʼime obodo nsọ, gosikwa ọtụtụ mmadụ onwe ha.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Mgbe ọchịagha, na ndị ya ha nọ nʼebe ahụ na-eche Jisọs nche hụrụ ala ọma jijiji a, na ihe niile mere, ha tụrụ oke egwu. Ha kwuru sị, “Nʼezie, nwoke a bụ Ọkpara Chineke!”
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him:
Ọtụtụ ụmụ nwanyị nọ nʼebe ahụ, ndị guzo nʼebe dị anya na-ele ihe na-eme. Ha si Galili soro Jisọs, na-ejere ya ozi.
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
Nʼime ha bụ Meri Magdalin, na Meri nne Jemis na Josef, na nne ụmụ Zebedi.
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
Mgbe o ruru anyasị, otu onye ọgaranya si Arimatia aha ya bụ Josef. Onye ya onwe ya bụkwa onye na-eso ụzọ Jisọs,
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
jekwuuru Pailet rịọọ ya ka e bunye ya ozu Jisọs. Pailet nyere iwu ka e bunye ya ozu ahụ.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Josef buuru ozu ya, were ezi akwa ọcha linin na-enwu enwu fụchie ya,
60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.
ma gaa lie ya nʼili ọhụrụ nke o gwuuru onwe ya, nʼetiti nkume. O jikwa otu nkume buru ibu kpuchie ọnụ ụzọ ili ahụ, hapụ ya laa.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher.
Meri Magdalin na Meri nke ọzọ nọ na-ebe ahụ, ha nọdụrụ ala na ncherita ihu ili ahụ.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,
Nʼechi ya, nke bụ ụbọchị na-eso ụbọchị Nkwadebe, ndịisi nchụaja na ndị Farisii zukọrọ jekwuru Pailet.
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
Ha kwuru sị, “Nna anyị ukwu, anyị na-echeta na mgbe onye ụgha ahụ dị ndụ, ọ sịrị na ya ga-esi nʼọnwụ bilie mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị.
64 Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
Ya mere, nye iwu ka ndị agha gị na-eche ili ya nche, ruo mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị. Nke a ga-egbochi ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ịga zuru ozu ya. Ka ha ghara ị sịkwa ndị mmadụ na o sitela nʼọnwụ bilie. Ọ bụrụ na ha agha ụgha dị otu a, ọ ga-ajọrọ anyị njọ mgbe ahụ karịa na mbụ.”
65 Pilate said to them, You have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as you can.
Pailet gwara ha sị, “Unu nwere otu ndị agha na-eche nche, kpọrọnụ ha gaa mechisie ili ahụ ike dị ka unu si maara eme.”
66 So they went, and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Ya mere, ha kpọrọ ndị agha gaa mechizie ọnụ ili ahụ. Ha kakwara akara nʼelu nkume ahụ.
