Matthew 26
1 AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
Yesu mpwalapwisha kubeyisha makani awa, walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
“Mucinshi cena kwambeti papita masuba abili, kusekelela kwa Pasika nikutatike, neco Mwana Muntu nakatwalwe kuya kupopwa.”
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Pacindi copeleco, bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balabungana mu ng'anda ya Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo bonse, lina lyakendi Kayafa.
4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
Balikupangana mobelela kumwikatila Yesu kwakubula nabambi kwinshiba ne kumushina.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
Nsombi balikwambeti, “Nkatwelela kumwikata mumasuba akusekelela Pasika sobwe, pakwinga ngapaba minyungwe pakati pabantu.”
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Yesu mpwalikuba ku Betaniya, mu ng'anda ya Shimoni shimankuntu.
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
Nomba mpobalikulya patebulu, palashika mutukashi walikuba wamanta nsupa mwalikuba mafuta anunkila amulo wadula, walatatika kwitila mafutawo pamutwi wa Yesu.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
Nomba beshikwiya bakendi mpobalaboneco, balepilwa kwine, ne kwambeti, “Inga nikwataila cani cisa mafuta pabulyo.”
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
“Mafutawa ayandikanga kwaulisha mali angi, ne kunyamfwalishako bantu bapenshi.”
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
Yesu pakwinshiba byonse mbyobalikwamba, walabepusheti, “Mulamupenshelenga cani mutukashi uyu? Ici ncalenshili ame caina.”
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
“Nimukutenga bantu bapenshi cindi conse, nsombi nteti munkutenga cindi conse sobwe,
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
nendi letili mafutawa pamubili pakame, ‘lananikili limo kantana mbikwa mu manda.’
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, kulikonse uko bantu nkweshi bakakambaukenga Mulumbe uwu Waina pacishi conse, naco ici ncalenshi ni bakacambenga, kwambeti bantu bakanukilenga ponga.”
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
Panyuma pakendi umo wabeshikwiya likumi ne babili, Yuda Sikalyote walaya kuli ba makulene beshimilumbo.
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
Ne kuya kubepusheti, “Inga nimumpe cani ndamulisha Yesu kuli njamwe?” Naboyo popelapo balabelenga mali a silifa makumi atatu ne kumupa.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
Kufuma cindico, Yuda Sikalyote, walatatika kulangaula cindi celela ca kumwikatilapo Yesu.
17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
Pabusuba bwakutanguna bwakusekelela masuba ashinkwa wabula cishifufumusha, beshikwiya bakendi balesa kuli Yesu ne kumwipusheti, “Twenga kupeyo kuya kumubambila musena wa kulyelako Pasika?”
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
Yesu walabambileti, “Kamuyani mu munshi uwu kumuntu wakuti wakuti, muye mwambeti, cindi cabo Bashikwiyisha cilipepi, balayandanga kwisa kulyela Pasika pamo ne beshikwiya babo kwenu.”
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
Basa beshikwiya balensa mbuli Yesu ncalabambila, balabamba Pasika.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
Mansailo mpokwalashipuluka, Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi likumi ne babili balekala patebulu ne kutatika kulya.
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
Kabacilya, Yesu walabambileti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, umo pali njamwe langulishinga kubalwani bakame.”
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
Beshikwiya balanyumfwa nsoni, neco, balatatika kumwipusha Yesu, umo ne umo Nkambo, sena njame?
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Umo pali njamwe, uyo walyanga pamo nenjame mumbale iyi, epeloyo elangulishinga.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
‘Mwana Muntu nafwe nditu, mbuli Mabala ncalambanga,’ Nomba ukute malele muntu laulishinga Mwana Muntu, ne calabako cena nalabula kusemwapo muntuyo.”
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
Yuda Sikalyote, usa walamulisha, walepusheti, “Bashikwiyisha, cakubinga nkandela kuba ame ngomulambanga ayi?” Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Ulamba omwine.”
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
Cindi ncobalikulya, Yesu walamanta shinkwa walapaila ne kulumba Lesa, walakomona komona, walayabila beshikwiya, ne kwambeti, “Mantani, kamulyani, uwu emubili wakame.”
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
Kayi walamanta nkomeshi yesula waini, walalumba Lesa, ne kubapa beshikwiya basa, nekubambileti, “Kamunwa mwense.
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Iyi emilopa yakame yacipangano iletikilinga bantu bangi kwambeti, balekelelwe bwipishi bwabo.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
Cakubinga, nteti nkanwepo waini umbi, mpaka busuba mbweshi nkanwe waini walinolino pamo ne njamwe mu Bwami bwa Bata.”
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Panyuma pakwimbila lwimbo lwakutembaula Lesa, bonse balapula, balaya ku mulundu wa maolifi.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi kwambeti, “Lelo mashiku mwense nimunkane ne kunshiya ndenka, pakwinga kwalembweti, ‘Ninkashine mwembeshi, kayi litanga lya mbelele nilikapalangane,’
32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
Nomba ndakapundushiwa kubafu, njameti nkatangune kuya ku Galileya.”
33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
Nomba Petulo walambeti, “Nambi bonse bamukane ne kumushiya, ame ndenka nteti ndimukanepo pimbi.”
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Apo Yesu walamwambila Petulo, “Cakubinga ndakwambilishingeti, lyopele lelo mashiku, kombwe katanalila, obe nunkane tunkanda tutatu, kwambeti nkonjishipo sobwe.”
35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Nomba Petulo walambeti, “Nambi cambweti mfwe pamo nenjamwe nteti nkamukanepo sobwe.” Nabo beshikwiya bonse balamba cimo cimo.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balaya kumusena walikukwiweti, Getisemani, uko nkwalakabambileti, “Kamwikalani pano, ame ndenga uko kuya kupaila.”
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Walamantako Petulo, ne banabendi Sebedayo babili, Yesu walongumana, ne kupenga mumoyo.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
Walabambileti, “Mumoyo wakame muli bulanda bunene bwakufwa nabo. Kwamwikalani pano, nomba kamucetukani.”
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Yesu walaya pantangu ntamwa pang'ana, walawa kali wakotamika cinso cakendi panshi ne kutatika kupaila, walambeti, “Ta, na kacikonsheka, mufunye nkomeshi yamapensho iyi. Nsombi kakutaba kuyanda kwakame sobwe, nsombi kube kuyanda kwenu.”
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Mpwalambeco, Yesu walabwelela kwalikuba beshikwiya basa, walabacana kabali bona tulo, neco walamwipusha Petulo, “Inga mulalilwaconi kupembelela pamo ne njame kwa kacindi kang'anowa.
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Kumucetukani kayi kamupailani kwambeti kamutawila mu masunko. Walo moyo ulayandishishinga, nsombi mubili ulalefuku.”
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Kayi Yesu walabashiya nekuya kankanda katubili kuya kupaila kambeti, “Ta, na nkomeshi ya mapensho iyi, nkayelela kumpitilila mpaka nwamo, naco caina, kuyanda kwinshike.”
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
Mpwalabwelako kayi walabacana kabali bona tulo, pakwinga bikope byabo byalalema ne tulo.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Kayi Yesu walabashiya walaya kupaila katunkanda tutatu, kamba maswi amo amo.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Panyuma pakendi, walesa kuli beshikwiya bakendi basa ne kwambeti, “Ne lino mucili monatulo, ne kupumwina ‘Cindi cilashiki,’ Mwana Muntu nabikwe mu makasa abantu baipa.”
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
“Pundukani! Tiyeni! Nte uyu shikungulisha lashiki!”
47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Yesu kacamba, Yuda Sikalyote, umo wa beshikwiya likumi ne babili walashika ne likoto lyabantu kabali bamanta bibeshi ne mingwala. Bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene ba Bayuda ebalabatuma aba bantu.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
Shikumulisha wali kalilabambili kendi cishibisho, kwambeti, “Uyo ngweshi nshonshonte, endiye ngomulayandanga, mumwikate!”
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
Yuda Sikalyote walalulama palikuba Yesu ne kwambeti, Mitende Bashikwiyisha! Mpwalambeco walamushonshonta.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Yesu walamwambileti, “Obe ndo fwambana kwinsa ncoleshili.” Popelapo basa bantu Yesu balamutanya ne kumusunga.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
Nomba kamubonani! umo walikuba pamo ne Yesu walapulisha cibeshi, ne kumutimbula litwi musebenshi wa Shimilumbo mukulene.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Nomba Yesu walamwambileti, “Bwesha cibeshico mucikwama, pakwinga bonse balasebenseshenga bibeshi, nibakafwe ku bibeshi,”
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Sena ulayeyengeti nkandelela kukuwa ne kusenga Bata, balo pacindi copele cino ngabantumina bangelo bankondo bapita makoto likumi ne abili.
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Na ame nyinseco, ngabinshikeconi byalambwa mu Mabala kwambeti byelela kwinshika.
55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
Popelapo, bantu basa Yesu walabepusheti, “Nipacebo cini mulaletelele bibeshi ne mingwala, pakunjikata eti njame kapondo? Masuba onse ndekalanga nenu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa kanjiyisha.”
56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
“Nomba ibi byonse bilenshiki kwambeti mbyobalalemba bashinshimi mu Mabala bikwanilishiwe.” Popelapo beshikwiya bakendi bonse balafwamba, ne kumushiya Yesu enka.
57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Bantu basa mpobalamwikata Yesu, balamutwala ku ng'anda ya Kayafa Mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse, uko nkobalabungana beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne bamakulene ba Bayuda.
58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
Petulo, walikakonka panyuma capataliko, mpaka walakengila mukati mulubuwa lwa ng'anda ya Mukulene wa beshimilumbo usa. Walengila mukati ne kuya kwikala pamo ne bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa, kwambeti abone ceti cinshike.
59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
Beshimilumbo bamakulene, ne bonse bamu Nkuta inene ya Bayuda, bali kulangaula bakamboni bela kumubepeshela Yesu kwambeti bamushine.
60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
Nikukabeti palesa bakamboni bangi bela kumubepeshela, nsombi baliya kucanapo bukamboni bwancinencine mbobalikulangaula. Kumapwililisho kwalesa bantu babili,
61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
balambeti, “Muntuyu walikwambeti, ame ndelela kumwaya Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kuyibaka kayi mu masuba atatu owa.”
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Lino Mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse walemana ne kumwipusha Yesu. “Sena uliya cakukumbulapo pa bintu ibi mbyobalakubepeshenga aba bantu?”
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Nomba Yesu nendi walamwenowa tonto. Kayi Mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse usa walambila Yesu, “Ndakwambilinga mu Lina lya Lesa muyumi, kwambeti winse kulumbila pakwamba na njobe Klistu, Mwanendi Lesa.”
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Mulamba mobene, nsombi ndamwambilishingeti, ‘kufuma cino cindi nimukabone Mwana Muntu kaliwekala kucikasa calulyo ca Lesa wangofu shonse,’ Nimukamubone kesa mwilu mumakumbi.”
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
Mukulene wa beshimilumbobonse walatwamuna munganjo wakendi kulesha bukalu ne kwambeti, “Uku ni kumunyansha Lesa ‘Sena paciyandika bakamboni nabambi’ Mulalinyumfwili mobene ncalamunyansha Lesa.”
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
“Neco mulayeyengapongeconi?” Balo balakumbuleti, “Lacaniki ne mulandu, welela kushinwa!”
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
Popelapo balatatika kumusankila mata kumenso ne kumuma mpaka, nabambi balatatika kumuma makofi,
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
kabambeti, “Obe Klistu, Kolotela, inga lakumu niyani?”
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
Petulo walakekala mulubuwa kunsa kwa ng'anda. Mutukashi musebenshi wa Mukulene wa beshimilumbo walesa kulyendiye ne kwambeti, “Ne njamwe mwalikwenda pamo ne Yesuyu waku Galileya.”
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
Nsombi nendi walakana pamenso abantu bonse, walambeti, “Ncolambanga ame nkandicishipo sobwe!”
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
Petulo mpwalikupula kaya pacishinga, kayi mutukashi naumbi musebenshi walamubona, walatatika kwambila nabambi balikubapo. “Uyu muntu walikuba pamo ne Yesu waku Nasaleti.”
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
Petulo walakana, cakwinsa kulumbileti, “Cakubinga ame nkandimwishipo muntuyo.”
73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
Mpopalapitako kacindi kang'ana, bantu balikubapo balamwambila Petulo, “Kwelana ne ntaka ya ng'ambilo yakobe tuleshibinga kwambeti ne njobe owa mulikoto ili.”
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Apo Petulo walensa kulumbileti, “Lesa anshingane ne kumpa cisubulo, na ndambanga bwepeshi, ame muntuyu nkandimwishipo sobwe.” Cindi copeleco kombwe walalila.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Petulo walanuka maswi ngalamwambila Yesu akwambeti, “Kombwe katanalila nukankane tunkanda tutatu kwambeti nkonjishipo sobwe.” Popelapo Petulo walapula kayakulila ne kushinshimuka.
