< 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:
Mpobwalaca mumene, beshimilumbo bonse, ne bamakulene Baciyuda balapangana kayi sha kumushina Yesu.
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Balamusunga ne kumutwala kuli Pilato Mwendeleshi wa Ciloma.
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,
Yuda, usa walaulisha Yesu mpwalaboneti mulandu ulaba wakumushina Yesu, walalisenda mwine, neco walababweshela bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, mali asa akwana makumi atatu a silifa.
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
Walambeti, “Ndepisha kulisha muntu wabula mulandu kwambeti ayafwe.” Nomba balo balambeti, “Ulayandanga twinseconi? Awo nimakani akobe omwine.”
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Yuda walamanta mali ne kuya kwawala mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, kufumapo wakalisungilila.
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.
Basa bamakulene beshimilumbo balabwesa mali, ne kwambeti, “Milawo yetu nkayasuminisha kwabika mali awa mu kabokoshi nkotukute kubikamo mali muno mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, pakwinga ni mali amilopa.”
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
Neco balapanganeti mali awa baule libala lya mubumbi wanongo, kwambeti kube kunamaumbwe abensu.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
Ecebo cakendi libala ilyo mpaka lelo likute kukwiweti libala lya milopa.
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;
Neco, kwalikuba kukwanilisha calamba mushinshimi Yelemiya uyo walambeti, “balamanta asa mali makumi atatu amukuba, mulo bana Baislayeli ngobalapangana palyendiye
10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
balaula libala lya mubumbi wanongo, mbuli Lesa ncalang'ambila.”
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
Lino Yesu walemana pamenso pa Pilato Mwendeleshi, uyo walamwipusheti, “Sena njobe Mwami wa Bayuda?” Yesu walakumbuleti, “Mulamba mobene.”
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Nomba mpobali kumubepesha bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, Yesu nkali kubakumbulapo sobwe.
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
Pilato mpwalaboneco, walamwipusha Yesu, “Sena nkolabinyumfunga mbyobala kubepeshenga?”
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
Yesu uliya kumukumbula. Neco Pilato walakankamana kwine.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Pacindi cakusekelela Pasika, Mwendeleshi Pilato, walikukute cinga cakusungulula kaili umo, uyo bantu ngobalayandanga.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Kwalikuba kaili umo pacindico wayampuyo, walikuwiweti Balaba.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
Mpobalabungana, Pilato walabepusheti, “Inga mulayandanga upeyo ngoti nsungulule, ‘Balaba,’ Nambi Yesu, lakwiwangeti Klistu?”
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Walambeco pakwinga walikwinshiba kwambeti, bantu balamuleta Yesu kulyendiye cebo ca minyono yabo.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
Pilato kacili wekala pa cipuna cakomboloshela milandu, mukashendi walamutumina maswi, walambeti, “Kamutengililapo pankani ya muntuyo walulama, ame lelo mashiku ndapenge ne maloto pacebo ca muntuyo.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balatatika kuyungaula bantu kwambeti, basenge Pilato asungulule Balaba, ne kwambeti Yesu afwe.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Lino Pilato walabepusheti, “Pa bantu babili aba mulayandanga ndimusungulwilepo upeyo?” Balo balambeti, “Balaba!”
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Kayi Pilato walabepusheti, “Inga lino uyu Yesu, lakwiwangeti, Klistu ndimwinseconi?” Bantu bonse balambeti, “Mupopeni!”
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Kayi Pilato, walabepusheti, “Inga ukute mulandu cini?” Bantu basa balapitilisha kubilikisheti, “Mupopeni!”
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 ye to it.
Lino Pilato mpwalaboneti bantu ngabatatika mipyopyongano, na upitilisha kwambapo, walamanta menshi, walasamba kumakasa pamenso pabantu bonse. Walambeti, “Ame ndiya mulandu wa lufu lwa muntuyu. Mulandu niwenu mobene.”
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Basa bantu bonse pamo balambeti, “Mulandu walufulo ube pamitwi yetu ne ya bana betu.”
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Popelapo Pilato walabasungulwila Balaba, ne kumukwapula Yesu, panyuma pakendi balamutwala kuya kumupopa palusanda.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
Popelapo bashilikali ba Mwendeleshi Pilato, balamumanta Yesu, nekuya nendi mulubuwa lwang'anda ya Pilato. Umo mobalabunganya bashilikali banabo ne kumushunguluka Yesu.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Balamufulula byakufwala byakendi, ne kumufwalika mwinjila ufubeluka.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon 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!
Balapomba munshini wamyunga ne kumufwalika kumutwi, kayi balamwikatisha nkoli ya litete kucikasa cakululyo, balatatika kumusuntamina kwakumuwela, ne kumufukanya mwalisongwe, kabambeti, “Mitende Mwami wa Bayuda.”
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
Balamusankila mata, balamanta nkoli yalitete ne kumuma nayo mu mutwi.
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.
Mpobalacileka kumufukanya mwalisongwe, balamufulula mwinjila ufubeluka usa, ne kumufwalika mwinjila wakendi. Panyuma pakendi balamumanta kuya kumupopa.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Cindi ncobalikufuma mu munshi umo, balakumanya muntu, lina lyakendi, Shimoni waku Kulene. Bashilikali balamukakatisha kunyamuna lusanda lwa Yesu.
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
Balashika pamusena walikukwiweti, Gologota, ekwambeti musena wacifupa camutwi.
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
Uko nkobalamupa Yesu, waini wasankanishiwako ne ntulukishi, kwambeti anwe. Nomba mpwalasupitamo, walakana kunwa.
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 upon my vesture did they cast lots.
Yesu mpobalamupopa pa lusanda, balauma nsolo kwambeti baboneti nibani beti bayabane byakufwala byakendi,
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
Panyuma pakendi balekala panshi kabamupembelela.
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pelu pamutwi wakendi Yesu, balalembapo mulandu ngobalamushinina, balalembeti, “Uyu e Yesu Mwami wa Bayuda.”
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
Kayi kopeloko kwalikuba kwapopwa kapondo babili, umo kucikasa ca kululyo, naumbi kucikasa ca kucipiko.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
Nomba bantu balikupita pepi bali kumutukana, kabapukumuna mitwi yabo,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
kabambeti, “Sena obe ntobe walikwambeti, ‘Ni nkamwaye Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kuyibaka pamasuba atatu’ Na cakubinga njobe Mwanendi Lesa, kolipulusha ufumepo pa lusandapo.”
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
Nabo bamakulene beshimilumbo pamo ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balikumuseka kabambeti,
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.
Walikupulusha bantu bambi, nsombi lalilwanga kulipulusha mwine, sena nte Mwami wa Baislayeli? Kaselukapo pa lusandapo kwambeti afwe tumushome.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Walikuba wacinka manungo muli Lesa, kamupulushani Lesa uyo na umusuni nte walikambeti, “Njame Mwanendi Lesa!”
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
Nabo kapondo babili basa balikuba bapopwa pamo ne Yesu balikumutukana.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Kufuma cindi ca muma 12 koloko mpaka 3 koloko munshi palaba mushinshe pacishi conse.
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 hast thou forsaken me?
Cindi camuma 3 koloko munshi, Yesu walabilikisheti, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama sabakatani?” Uku ekwambeti, “Lesa wakame, Lesa wakame, mulanshili cani ndenka!”
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
Nabambi balikuba bemana pepi mpobalanyumfwa maswi awo balambeti, “Muntuyu lakunga Eliya.”
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
Popelapo naumbi walafwamba kuya kumanta cisambo, walacisabika mu waini wasasa, ne kucibika ku kalutele ne kumupa kwambeti anwe.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Nsombi nabambi balambeti, “Koleka nanshi, tubone na Eliya nese amupulushe!”
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Yesu walakuluma cangofu, popelapo walataya moyo.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Lino kamubonani, cisa cikwisa calikuba mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, calatwamuka pakati kufumina pelu mpaka panshi. Kwalaba mukunkumo, ne mabwe alapasauka.
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Manda alacaluka ne mibili yabantu ba Lesa bangi bona mu manda balapundushiwa.
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Mpolabapula mu manda, Panyuma pa kupunduka kwa Yesu, balaya kwingila mu Yelusalemu Mushi Waswepa. Ne kuboneka ku bantu bangi.
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.
Abo balikuba ne mushilikali mukulene kabapembelela Yesu, mpobalabona mukunkumo ne bintu nabimbi byalenshika, balaba ne buyowa bunene, balambeti, “Cakubinga muntuyu wanga Mwanendi Lesa.”
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
Palikuba batukashi bangi balikuba bemana capataliko balikwebelela. Aba ebalamukonkela Yesu kufuma ku Galileya, kabamunyamfwilisha.
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
Pakati pabatukashi aba palikuba Maliya waku Magadala, Maliya banyina Jemusi ne Yosefe, ne mukashendi Sebedayo.
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
Cindi camansailo pamuntu ngulya, kwalashika Yosefe waku Alimateya, walikuba mubile, neye walikuba shikwiya wa Yesu.
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
Walaya kusenga mubili wa Yesu kuli Pilato, nendi Pilato walasuminisheti, Yosefe apewe uwo mubili.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Neco Yosefe walamanta mubili ne kufungaila mucikwisa caswepa calinolino cituba,
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 sepulchre, and departed.
ne kuya kubika mu manda ngwalalibesela calinolino mulibwe ne kunkulushilapo cilibwe pacishinga camanda ne kufumako.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
Maliya waku Magadala, ne Maliya naumbi usa balikuba bekala panshi kabali balangila kumanda.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
Mpobwalaca mumene pa Sabata, bamakulene beshimilumbo, pamo ne Bafalisi balakabungana kuli Pilato
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
ne kumwambileti, “Nkambo, twanuka kwambeti kacili muyumi muntu mubepeshi usa, walikwambeti, ‘Pakapita masuba atatu ninkapundushiwe.’
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
Neco, kamubambilani bamalonda benga bapembelele pamanda kwa masuba atatu, kutineti kabatesa bamwibe beshikwiya bakendi, ne kutatika kwambila bantu, eti lapundushiwa kubafu. Pakwinga kubepa uku ngakukonempa kupita kubepa kusa kwakutanguna.”
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
Nendi Pilato walabambileti, “Nenjamwe mukute bamalonda, mucinshi ncomwelela kwinsa, kamuyani mupembelele pamandapo.”
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Balaya, balashinkashinka pamanda ne kushapo cishibisho pacilibweco. Ne kushiyapo bamalonda babo.
