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:
Na rĩrĩ, rũciinĩ tene, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene othe na athuuri a andũ makĩiguithania atĩ matuĩre Jesũ kũũragwo.
2 And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Makĩmuoha na mĩnyororo; makĩmũruta kũu, makĩmũtwara kũrĩ Pilato, ũrĩa warĩ barũthi.
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,
Rĩrĩa Judasi, ũcio wamũkunyanĩire oonire atĩ Jesũ nĩatuĩrwo gũkua-rĩ, akĩĩrira na agĩcookeria athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri mbeeca icio cia betha mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
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].
Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩtie, nĩgũkorwo nĩngunyanĩire thakame ĩtarĩ na mahĩtia.” Nao makĩmũcookeria makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũcio ũkĩrĩ ũhoro witũ? Ũcio nĩ ũhoro waku.”
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Judasi agĩikania mbeeca icio thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, agĩĩthiĩra. Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ akĩĩita.
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.
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai acio anene makĩoya mbeeca icio makiuga atĩrĩ, “Kũiga mbeeca ici kĩgĩĩna-inĩ nĩ kuuna watho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mbeeca cia thakame.”
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩiguithania mahũthĩre mbeeca icio na kũgũra gĩthaka kĩrĩa kĩa mũũmbi nyũngũ gĩtuĩke gĩa gũthikagwo ageni.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga gĩthaka kĩu gĩĩtwo Gĩthaka gĩa Thakame nginya ũmũthĩ.
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;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa waarĩtio nĩ Jeremia ũrĩa Mũnabii wahingire, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ: “Nao nĩmoire icunjĩ icio mĩrongo ĩtatũ cia betha, thogora ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatuĩte wa kũmũgũra,
10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
nao magĩcihũthĩra na kũgũra gĩthaka kĩa mũũmbi nyũngũ, o ta ũrĩa Mwathani aanjathire gwĩkwo.”
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.
Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ akĩrũgama mbere ya barũthi, nake barũthi ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?” Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ. “Ĩĩ, wee nĩwoiga.”
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
No rĩrĩa aathitangirwo nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri, ndarĩ ũndũ aacookirie.
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũtaraigua ũira wa maũndũ marĩa maragũthitangĩra?”
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
Nowe Jesũ ndaigana gũcookia ũndũ o na ũmwe wa macio; nake barũthi akĩgega mũno.
15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka, barũthi ũcio nĩamenyerete kuohora mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa oohe, o ũrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩngĩathuurire.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩ maarĩ na mũndũ kĩmaramari wohetwo na woĩkaine mũno, wetagwo Baraba.
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?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩagomanire, Pilato agĩkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ mũkwenda ndĩmuohorere; nĩ Baraba, kana nĩ Jesũ ũrĩa wĩtagwo Kristũ?”
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Nĩgũkorwo we nĩamenyaga atĩ maatwarĩte Jesũ kũrĩ we nĩ ũndũ wa ũiru.
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.
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo Pilato aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩa ciira, mũtumia wake akĩmũtũmĩra mũndũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Ndũkae gwĩka mũndũ ũcio ũndũ tondũ ndarĩ na mahĩtia, nĩgũkorwo ũmũthĩ nĩthĩĩnĩtio nĩ kĩroto mũno nĩ ũndũ wake.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
No rĩrĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri makĩringĩrĩria kĩrĩndĩ gĩĩtie Baraba, nake Jesũ ooragwo.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Barũthi ũcio akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya eerĩ nĩ ũrĩkũ mũkwenda ndĩmuohorere?” Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũkwenda Baraba.”
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.
Pilato akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Ngũgĩĩka atĩa na Jesũ ũyũ wĩtagwo Kristũ?” Othe magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ.”
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Nake Pilato akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩ? Nĩ ngero ĩrĩkũ agerete?” Nao magĩkĩrĩrĩria kwanĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ!”
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].
Rĩrĩa Pilato oonire atĩ matiraiguithania, na akĩona atĩ nĩ ngũĩ yambagĩrĩria-rĩ, akĩoya maaĩ, agĩĩthamba moko hau mbere ya kĩrĩndĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndikoorio thakame ya mũndũ ũyũ ũtarĩ na mahĩtia. Ũcio nĩ ũhoro wanyu!”
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.
Nao andũ acio othe magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Thakame yake ĩrotũcookerera hamwe na ciana ciitũ!”
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] to be crucified.
Pilato akĩmohorera Baraba. No akĩhũũrithia Jesũ iboko, agĩcooka akĩmũneana akaambwo mũtĩ-igũrũ.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers].
Ningĩ thigari cia barũthi cigĩtwara Jesũ thĩinĩ wa gĩikaro kĩa barũthi, nacio cigĩcookanĩrĩria mbũtũ yothe ya thigari, cikĩmũrigiicĩria.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Cikĩmũruta nguo ciake, cikĩmũhumba nguo ndune,
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!
cigĩcooka cigĩtuma thũmbĩ ya mĩigua, cikĩmwĩkĩra mũtwe. Cikĩmũnengera kamũrangi guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo, cikĩmũturĩria ndu, na cikĩmũnyũrũria, cikiuga atĩrĩ, “Wĩ mũhoro, mũthamaki wa Ayahudi!”
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
Cikĩmũtuĩra mata, cikĩoya kamũrangi kau, na cikĩmũhũũra nako mũtwe.
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].
Ciarĩkia kũmũnyũrũria, cikĩmũruta nguo ĩyo, na cikĩmũhumba nguo ciake mwene. Cigĩcooka cikĩmumagaria cikamwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moimagaraga-rĩ, magĩcemania na mũndũ woimĩte Kurene, wetagwo Simoni, nacio thigari cikĩmũkuuithia mũtharaba ũcio na hinya.
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
Magĩthiĩ, magĩkinya handũ heetagwo Gologotha (ũguo nĩ kuuga Handũ hahaana ta Ihĩndĩ rĩa Mũtwe).
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted [thereof], he would not drink.
Nacio cikĩhe Jesũ ndibei anyue, ĩtukanĩtio na kĩndũ kĩrũrũ ta maaĩ ma nyongo; no aamĩcama akĩrega kũmĩnyua.
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.
Ciarĩkia kũmwamba mũtĩ-igũrũ, cikĩgayana nguo ciake na njĩra ya gũcicuukĩra mĩtĩ.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
Nacio cigĩikara thĩ hau, cikĩmũrangĩra.
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Na hau igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wake, nĩhandĩkĩtwo maũndũ marĩa aathitangĩirwo, atĩrĩ: ŨYŨ NĨWE JESŨ, MŨTHAMAKI WA AYAHUDI.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
Na rĩrĩ, atunyani eerĩ nĩmambirwo mĩtĩ-igũrũ hamwe nake, ũmwe mwena wake wa ũrĩo, na ũcio ũngĩ mwena wake wa ũmotho.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
Nao andũ arĩa maahĩtũkagĩra hau makamũrumaga, makĩinagia mĩtwe yao,
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.
makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee ũngĩratharirie hekarũ na ũcooke ũmĩake na mĩthenya ĩtatũ-rĩ, kĩĩhonokie! Harũrũka uume mũtharaba-inĩ, aakorwo wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai!”
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,
O ũndũ ũmwe athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na arutani a watho, na athuuri o nao makĩmũnyũrũria.
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.
Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩarahonokagia andũ arĩa angĩ, no ndangĩhota kwĩhonokia we mwene! Nĩwe Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli! Nĩakiume rĩu mũtharaba-inĩ, na ithuĩ nĩtũkũmwĩtĩkia.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Nĩehokete Ngai, nĩakĩmũhonokie rĩu aakorwo nĩamwendete, nĩgũkorwo oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndĩ Mũrũ wa Ngai.’”
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
O na atunyani arĩa maambanĩirio hamwe nake o nao makĩmũruma.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Na rĩrĩ, kuuma thaa thita cia mũthenya nginya thaa kenda bũrũri wothe ũkĩgĩa nduma.
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?
Na ta thaa kenda Jesũ akĩgũthũka na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Eli, Eli, lama sabakithani?” (Ũguo nĩ kuuga, “Ngai wakwa, Ngai wakwa, ũndiganĩirie nĩkĩ?”)
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man] calleth for Elias.
Nao andũ amwe a arĩa maarũngiĩ hau rĩrĩa maiguire ũguo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Areeta Elija.”
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.
Na o rĩmwe, ũmwe wao agĩtengʼera akĩoya thibũnji. Akĩmĩtobokia thiki-inĩ, akĩmĩthecerera kamũrangi-inĩ, akĩhe Jesũ anyue.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Arĩa angĩ nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tiganai nake. Nĩtũkuona kana Elija nĩegũũka kũmũhonokia.”
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Nake Jesũ akĩgũthũka rĩngĩ na mũgambo mũnene, agĩtuĩkana.
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;
Na rĩrĩ, ihinda o rĩu gĩtambaya kĩa hekarũ gĩgĩatũkana icunjĩ igĩrĩ kuuma igũrũ nginya thĩ. Nayo thĩ ĩgĩthingitha, nacio ndwaro cia mahiga igĩatũkana.
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Mbĩrĩra nacio ikĩhingũka, nao andũ aingĩ arĩa atheru arĩa maarĩkĩtie gũkua makĩriũka,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
makiuma thĩinĩ wa mbĩrĩra. Na thuutha wa kũriũka kwa Jesũ, magĩthiĩ itũũra rĩu inene itheru, na makiumĩrĩra andũ aingĩ.
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.
Rĩrĩa mũnene-wa-thigari-igana na arĩa maarĩ nake makĩrangĩra Jesũ moonire gĩthingithia na maũndũ mothe marĩa meekĩkire-rĩ, makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya, makĩanĩrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ mũndũ ũyũ oima Mũrũ wa Ngai!”
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
Na nĩ haarĩ andũ-a-nja aingĩ meeroragĩra marĩ o haraaya. Maarũmĩrĩire Jesũ kuuma Galili nĩguo mamũtungatagĩre.
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
Thĩinĩ wao haarĩ Mariamu Mũmagidali, na Mariamu ũrĩa nyina wa Jakubu na Jose, na nyina wa ariũ a Zebedi.
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
Na hwaĩ-inĩ wakinya-rĩ, mũndũ warĩ gĩtonga wa kuuma Arimathea, wetagwo Jusufu, ũrĩa watuĩkĩte mũrutwo wa Jesũ agĩũka.
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
Nake agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Pilato, na akĩhooya aheo mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ, nake Pilato agĩathana anengerwo mwĩrĩ ũcio.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Jusufu akĩoya mwĩrĩ ũcio, akĩwoha na taama mũtheru wa gatani,
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.
akĩũiga thĩinĩ wa mbĩrĩra yake njerũ ĩrĩa eenjithĩtie rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga. Akĩgaragaria ihiga inene mũromo-inĩ wa mbĩrĩra ĩyo, na agĩĩthiĩra.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
Mariamu Mũmagidali na Mariamu ũcio ũngĩ maikarĩte hau mangʼetheire mbĩrĩra.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
Na mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ ũrĩa ũrũmagĩrĩra Mũthenya wa Ihaarĩria, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai magĩthiĩ kwa Pilato.
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
Makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathi witũ, nĩtũkũririkana atĩ rĩrĩa mũheenania ũcio aarĩ muoyo. nĩoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Thuutha wa matukũ matatũ nĩngariũka.’
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ruta watho nĩguo mbĩrĩra ĩyo ĩrangĩrwo nginya mũthenya wa gatatũ. Kwaga ũguo, arutwo ake maahota gũthiĩ maiye mwĩrĩ ũcio macooke meere andũ atĩ nĩariũkĩtio kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ. Maheeni macio maahota gũtuĩka mooru gũkĩra marĩa ma mbere.”
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make [it] as sure as ye can.
Nake Pilato akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Oyai arangĩri, mũthiĩ mũrangĩre mbĩrĩra ĩyo wega o ta ũrĩa mũngĩhota.”
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ, makĩhinga ihiga rĩa mbĩrĩra ĩyo biũ, na makĩrĩĩkĩra rũũri rwa mũhũra, na makĩiga arangĩri ho.
