Matthew 26
1 Now it happened that after Jesus had finished all these discourses, he said to his disciples,
Rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩkirie kuuga maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ,
2 "You know that the Passover is coming in two days, and the Son of man will be delivered up to be crucified."
“O ta ũrĩa mũũĩ, Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka gĩtigairie matukũ meerĩ gĩkinye, nake Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakaneanwo nĩgeetha aambwo mũtĩ-igũrũ.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met together in the court of the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri a kĩrĩndĩ makĩgomana kwa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, wetagwo Kaiafa,
4 and they plotted together to get Jesus into their power by a trick, and to put him to death;
nĩguo maciire ũrĩa mangĩnyiitithia Jesũ na njĩra ya wara, na mamũũragithie.
5 but said they, "Not during the feast, for fear of causing a riot among the people."
No makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩmũnyiita hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ, nĩguo andũ matikarute haaro.”
6 While Jesus was staying in Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper,
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩmwe Jesũ aarĩ Bethania, mũciĩ wa mũndũ wetagwo Simoni ũrĩa warĩ na mũrimũ wa mangũ,
7 a woman came up to him who had an alabaster vase of very costly perfume, and poured it over his head, as he reclined at table.
na mũndũ-wa-nja warĩ na cuba ya maguta ma goro mũno na manungi wega, agĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ, akĩmũitĩrĩria maguta mũtwe arĩ metha-inĩ akĩrĩa.
8 when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, and exclaimed.
Rĩrĩa arutwo moonire ũguo, makĩrakara, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũitangi ũyũ nĩ wakĩ?
9 "Why is this waste? This perfume could have been sold for a good sum, and the money given to the poor."
Maguta macio manungi wega nĩmangĩendio goro na mbeeca icio iheo athĩĩni.”
10 But when Jesus understood it he said to them. "Why are you annoying the woman? This is a beautiful deed she has done for me;
Nake Jesũ aamenya ũguo, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrathĩĩnia mũndũ-wa-nja ũyũ nĩkĩ? We nĩanjĩka ũndũ mwega.
11 "for the poor you have with you always, but me you will not always have.
Arĩa athĩĩni mũrĩkoragwo nao hĩndĩ ciothe, no niĩ-rĩ, mũtirĩkoragwo na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.
12 "In pouring this perfume on my body, she was preparing me for my burial.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aitĩrĩirie mwĩrĩ wakwa maguta macio manungi wega, eekire ũguo nĩgeetha aathagathage ũrĩa ngaathikwo.
13 "In solemn truth I tell you that wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, what she has done shall be told about, as her memorial."
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, kũrĩa guothe Ũhoro-ũyũ-Mwega ũkaahunjio thĩinĩ wa thĩ yothe-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio eeka nĩũkeeragwo andũ nĩgeetha aririkanagwo.”
14 It was then that one of the Twelve, he who was called Judas Iscariot,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmwe wa acio ikũmi na eerĩ, ũrĩa wetagwo Judasi Mũisikariota, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene,
15 went to the chief priests and said, "What are you ready to give me for betraying him to you?" So they weighed him thirty pieces of silver;
akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ mũkũũhe ingĩmũneana kũrĩ inyuĩ?” Nao makĩmũtarĩra icunjĩ cia betha mĩrongo ĩtatũ, makĩmũnengera.
16 and from that time he kept looking for a chance to betray him.
Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo Judasi akĩambĩrĩria gũcaria mweke wa kũmũneana.
17 On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to make preparation for you eat the Passover?"
Mũthenya wa mbere wa kwambĩrĩria kũrĩa Mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia-rĩ, arutwo magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Jesũ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda tũkahaarĩrie irio cia Bathaka kũ?”
18 "Go into the city," he answered, "to a certain man, and tell him. "‘The Teacher says. "My time is near. I am going to keep the Passover at your house, with my disciples."‘"
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi itũũra-inĩ kũrĩ mũndũ mũna mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrutani oiga atĩrĩ: Ihinda rĩakwa rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo rĩrĩ hakuhĩ. Ngũrĩĩra irio cia Bathaka nyũmba gwaku tũrĩ na arutwo akwa.’”
19 The disciples did as Jesus told them, and made ready the Passover.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arutwo magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jesũ aamathĩte, na makĩhaarĩria irio cia Bathaka.
20 When evening came he reclined at table with the Twelve;
Gwakinya hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩikara metha-inĩ ya irio hamwe na arutwo ake acio ikũmi na eerĩ.
21 and as they were eating, he said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you is going to betray me!"
Na rĩrĩa maarĩĩaga, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũmwe wanyu nĩekũngunyanĩra.”
22 In deep distress they began to ask him, each in turn, "It is not I, is it, Master?"
Nao makĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩeha mũno, makĩambĩrĩria kũmũũria o mũndũ atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ti-itherũ nĩ niĩ?”
23 In reply he said. "One who has dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa waikanĩria guoko na niĩ mbakũri-inĩ nĩwe ũrĩngunyanĩra.
24 "The Son of man is indeed to go as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were good for that man if he had never been born."
Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩegũthiĩ o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wake wandĩkĩtwo. No mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũkunyanĩra Mũrũ wa Mũndũ kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Nĩ kaba mũndũ ũcio atangĩaciarirwo.”
25 In answer, Judas, who betrayed him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" He said to him, "Is it not?"
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Judasi, ũrĩa mũmũkunyanĩri, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ti-itherũ nĩ niĩ?” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩwe.”
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and, when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to his disciples, saying, "Take, eat, this is my body."
Na rĩrĩa maarĩĩaga, Jesũ akĩoya mũgate, agĩcookia ngaatho, akĩwenyũranga, akĩhe arutwo ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Oyai mũrĩe; ũyũ nĩ mwĩrĩ wakwa.”
27 And when he had taken the cup and given thanks, he gave it to them, saying.
Agĩcooka akĩoya gĩkombe, agĩcookia ngaatho, akĩmanengera, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nyuanĩrai inyuothe.
28 "Drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood of the Covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Ĩno nĩyo thakame yakwa ya kĩrĩkanĩro, ĩrĩa ĩgũitwo nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aingĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kũrekanĩrwo kwa mehia.
29 "But I say to you, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father."
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ndikũnyua rĩngĩ ndibei ya maciaro ma mũthabibũ kuuma rĩu nginya mũthenya ũrĩa ngaamĩnyuanĩra na inyuĩ ĩrĩ njerũ ũthamaki-inĩ wa Baba.”
30 So after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Na maarĩkia kũina rwĩmbo-rĩ, makiumagara magĩthiĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ.
31 Then Jesus said to them. "This very night even you will all stumble and fall away from me; for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.
Ningĩ Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũtukũ wa ũmũthĩ inyuothe nĩmũrĩĩndirika nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩngaringa mũrĩithi, nacio ngʼondu cia rũũru ihurunjũke.’
32 But after I am raised up I will go before you into Galilee."
No ndariũkio-rĩ, nĩngamũtongoria gũthiĩ Galili.”
33 "If they all stumble and fall away from you," answered Peter, "I will never do so!"
No Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O na arĩa angĩ othe mangĩgũtirika, niĩ ndigagũtirika.”
34 Jesus said to him, "In solemn truth I tell you that on this very night, before cockcrow, you will deny me three times!"
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũmũthĩ, ũtukũ o ũyũ ngũkũ ĩtanakũga, ũrĩkorwo ũngaanĩte maita matatũ.”
35 But Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you." And so said all the disciples.
No Petero akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na angĩkorwo nĩgũkua ndĩkuanĩra nawe, niĩ ndingĩgũkaana.” Nao arutwo arĩa angĩ othe makiuga o ũguo.
36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit down here, while I go and pray yonder."
Ningĩ Jesũ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ na arutwo ake handũ heetagwo Gethisemane, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ikarai haha, na niĩ thiĩ haarĩa ngahooe.”
37 And he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and began to be in anguish and sore distress,
Agĩthiĩ na Petero, na ariũ arĩa eerĩ a Zebedi, nake akĩambĩrĩria kũigua kĩeha na gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro.
38 and he said to them. "My soul is an anguish, even unto death! Stay here, and keep watch with me."
Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ na kĩeha mũno, o hakuhĩ gũkua. Ikarai haha mwĩiguĩte hamwe na niĩ.”
39 Then he went forward a short distance, and fell on his face and prayed. "O, my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wit."
Agĩthiiathiia, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, akĩhooya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, kũngĩhoteka-rĩ, njehereria gĩkombe gĩkĩ. No ti ũrĩa niĩ ngwenda, no nĩ ũrĩa wee ũkwenda.”
40 Then he came to his disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter. "So you were none of you strong enough to watch with me even one hour!
Hĩndĩ ĩyo agĩcooka kũrĩ arutwo ake, agĩkora makomete, akĩũria Petero atĩrĩ, “Mũtingĩhota gũikara ithaa rĩmwe mwĩiguĩte hamwe na niĩ?
41 "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Mwĩhũgei na mũhooe nĩguo mũtikagwe magerio-inĩ. Ngoro nĩyenda, no mwĩrĩ ndũrĩ na hinya.”
42 Then he went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "O, my Father, if this cup cannot pass except I drink it, Thy will be done."
Jesũ agĩthiĩ riita rĩa keerĩ, akĩhooya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, angĩkorwo gũtingĩhoteka njehererio gĩkombe gĩkĩ itakĩnyuĩrĩire-rĩ, wendi waku ũrohingio.”
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Aacooka rĩngĩ akĩmakora makomete, tondũ nĩmahĩtĩtwo nĩ toro.
44 So he left them and went away again, and prayed the third time in the same words as before.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmatiga, agĩthiĩ, akĩhooya rĩngĩ riita rĩa gatatũ, akiuga ciugo o ro icio.
45 Then he came to the disciples and said. "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look! the hour is at hand; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of wicked men.
Ningĩ agĩcooka kũrĩ arutwo akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na rĩu mũrĩ o toro mũhurũkĩte? Atĩrĩrĩ, ihinda rĩ hakuhĩ, na Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakunyanĩirwo moko-inĩ ma andũ ehia.
46 "Rouse yourselves! Let us go. My betrayer is close at hand!"
Ũkĩrai, tũthiĩ! Ũrĩa ũkũngunyanĩra nĩarooka!”
47 Barely had he spoken these words when Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared, accompanied by a great crowd of men with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
O akĩaragia-rĩ, Judasi, ũmwe wa arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, agĩkinya. Ookire na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ, marĩ na hiũ cia njora na njũgũma, matũmĩtwo nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri a kĩama.
48 Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying. "Whoever I kiss is the man; arrest him."
Na rĩrĩ, ũcio wamũkunyanĩire nĩamaheete kĩmenyithia gĩkĩ: “Ũrĩa ndĩmumunya, ũcio nĩwe, mũnyiitei.”
49 So he came straight up to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed him eagerly.
Nake Judasi agĩthiĩ harĩ Jesũ o rĩmwe, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ũrĩ mũhoro!” na akĩmũmumunya.
50 "Friend, do that for which you came," said Jesus. Then they came forward and laid hands on Jesus, and arrested him.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũrata wakwa, ĩka ũrĩa ũũkire gwĩka.” Nao andũ acio makĩmũguthũkĩra, makĩmũnyiita.
51 And, behold, one of these who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smote the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa maarĩ na Jesũ agĩcomora rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, agĩtinia gũtũ kwa ndungata ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
52 Then Jesus said to him. "Put back your sword into its place! for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cookia rũhiũ rwaku njora nĩgũkorwo arĩa othe macomoraga rũhiũ makaaniinwo na rũhiũ.
53 "Do you not suppose that I am able to appeal to my Father to furnish me at this very moment with twelve legions of angels?
Kana ũgwĩciiria ndingĩhota kũhooya Baba, na o rĩmwe andũmĩre araika makĩria ya mbũtũ ikũmi na igĩrĩ?
54 "But if I did, how could the Scriptures be fulfilled that say that thus it must happen?"
No rĩrĩ, Maandĩko mangĩkĩhinga atĩa marĩa moigĩte atĩ ũndũ ũyũ no nginya ũhinge na njĩra ĩno?”
55 Then Jesus said to the crowds. "Are you come out as against a robber, with swords and staves to arrest me? Day after day, I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not apprehend me.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ akĩũria kĩrĩndĩ kĩu atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndĩ mũtongoria wa akararia a watho, atĩ nĩkĩo muoka mũũnyiite mũrĩ na hiũ cia njora na njũgũma? O mũthenya ndĩrakoragwo hekarũ-inĩ ngĩrutana, na mũtingĩĩnyiita.
56 "But all this has happened in order that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."
No ũndũ ũyũ wothe wĩkĩkĩĩte nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa waandĩkĩtwo nĩ anabii ũhinge.” Nao arutwo othe makĩmũtiganĩria, makĩũra.
57 Then all his disciples forsook him and fled; but those who had apprehended Jesus led him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.
Nao acio maanyiitire Jesũ makĩmũtwara gwa Kaiafa, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, kũrĩa arutani a watho na athuuri moonganĩte.
58 Now Peter was following him, afar off, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and when he got in, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.
Nowe Petero akĩmũrũmĩrĩra arĩ haraaya, o nginya agĩkinya nja ya kwa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũnene. Agĩtoonya agĩikarania na arangĩri nĩguo amenye ũrĩa ũhoro ũgũthiĩ.
59 And the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were trying to get false evidence against Jesus, in order that they might have him executed;
Na rĩrĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Kĩama kĩrĩa Kĩnene gĩothe nĩmacarĩrĩirie ũira wa maheeni nĩguo mamũũragithie.
60 but they found none, although many false witnesses came forward.
No makĩaga ũira ta ũcio, o na gũkorwo andũ aingĩ nĩmarutĩte ũira wa maheeni. Thuutha-inĩ andũ eerĩ makĩrũgama,
61 However, at last two came forward who said, "This fellow declared,’I can destroy the Temple of God and build it in three days.’"
makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩoigire atĩrĩ, ‘No hote gũtharia hekarũ ya Ngai, na ndĩmĩake rĩngĩ na mĩthenya ĩtatũ.’”
62 Rising to his feet the high priest asked Jesus. "Do you make no answer? What is it that these are testifying against you?"
Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akĩrũgama, akĩũria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũtarĩ na ũndũ ũgũtũcookeria? Nĩ ũhoro ũrĩkũ ũyũ ũrathitangĩrwo?”
63 But Jesus kept silence. Again the high priest addressed him, "I adjure you by the Living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!"
No Jesũ agĩkira ki. Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndakwĩhĩtithia na Ngai ũrĩa wĩ muoyo: Twĩre kana wee nĩwe Kristũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
64 "I am He," Jesus answered; "yet I tell you that from this time on you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven."
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, wee nĩwoiga, no ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, inyuĩ inyuothe nĩmũkona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ aikarĩte guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Hinya, agĩũka arĩ igũrũ rĩa matu.”
65 Then the high priest tore his garments, saying. "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need have we of witnesses? For behold, now you have heard his blasphemy!
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũnene agĩtembũranga nguo ciake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩaruma Ngai! Tũgũkĩbatario nĩ aira angĩ aakĩ? Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ nĩmweiguĩra akĩruma Ngai.
66 "What is your verdict?" "He ought to die," they answered.
Mũgwĩciiria atĩa?” Magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũũragwo.”
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and some struck him with the palms of their hands, and cried.
Magĩcooka makĩmũtuĩra mata ũthiũ, na makĩmũhũũra na ngundi. Angĩ makĩmũhũũra na hĩ,
68 "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it who struck you?"
makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Kristũ, tũrathĩre ũhoro ũtwĩre, nũũ wakũgũtha!”
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one of the maidservants came up to him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Galilean!"
Na rĩrĩ, Petero aikarĩte nja, nake mũirĩtu warĩ ndungata akĩmũkora, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “O nawe uuma hamwe na Jesũ ũcio wa Galili.”
70 But he denied it before them all; "I do not know what you mean," he said.
Nowe agĩkaana ũhoro ũcio mbere yao othe, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ ũrĩa ũroiga.”
71 Soon afterward he went out into the porch, and another maid saw him, and said to those who were there, "This fellow certainly was with Jesus, the Nazarene!"
Ningĩ akiumagara, agĩthiĩ kĩhingo-inĩ, harĩa mũirĩtu ũngĩ aamuonire, akĩĩra andũ arĩa maarĩ hau atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ moima na Jesũ wa Nazarethi.”
72 And again he denied it with an oath, saying, "I never knew the man."
Agĩkaana ũhoro ũcio o rĩngĩ, na akĩĩhĩta, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ mũndũ ũcio!”
73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "You also are certainly one of them, for your speech betrays you."
Thuutha wa kahinda kanini, arĩa maarũgamĩte hau magĩthiĩ harĩ Petero, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ wee ũrĩ ũmwe wao, tondũ mwarĩrie waku nĩũrakumbũra.”
74 Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I never knew the man." Immediately the cock crew!
Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwĩhĩta, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ mũndũ ũcio ndimũũĩ!” Kahinda o kau ngũkũ ĩgĩkũga.
75 Then Peter recalled the word that Jesus had spoken, "Before the cock crow, you shall three times deny me" - and he went out and broke out into bitter weeping.
Nake Petero akĩririkana ũhoro ũrĩa Jesũ aamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Ngũkũ ĩtanakũga, ũrĩkorwo ũngaanĩte maita matatũ.” Akiuma nja, akĩrĩra mũno.
