Matthew 27
1 At daybreak all the chief priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus, to bring about his death.
Palwakilo ye kukiile avavaha vooni ava vatekesi na vagoyo vakapuling'hana vule kya vikum'buda u Yesu.
2 They put him in chains and led him away, and gave him up to the Roman Governor, Pilate.
Vakankunga, vakaluta naghwope kwa Pilato, untwa ghwave uMulooma.
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that Jesus was condemned, repented of what he had done, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
U Yuda umwolesi ye avwene uYesu ahighilue kuuti abudue akipiika vwimila sino avombile. Pe akavagomokesia avavaha va vatekesi na vagoyo indalama sila fijigho fitatu.
4 “I did wrong in betraying a good man to his death,” he said. “What has that to do with us?” they replied. “You must see to that yourself.”
Akavavuula akati,”Nivombile inyivi kukumwohela umuunhu unsila nkole.”Neke aveene vakati,”Inongua ijio jaako juuve usue nakwetule.”
5 Judas flung down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and left; and went away and hanged himself.
Pe umwene akasitagha indalama sila muluviika lwa nyumba inyimike ijakufunyila akaluta kukukunga.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver, but they said, “We must not put them into the Temple treasury, because they are blood-money.”
Avavaha va vatekesi vakatoola indalama sila vakati,”Nalunoghile kuviika indalama isi munyumba inyimike ija Nguluve, ulwakuuva siveele sihombilue kukuung'a idanda ja muunhu.”
7 So, after consultation, they used it to buy the ‘Potter’s Field’ as a burial ground for foreigners,
Pe vakapuling'hana, vakatoola indalama sila vakaghula umughunda ughwa m'bumba fijigha kuuti mwe vanyisilaghe avahesia.
8 and that is why that field is called the ‘Field of Blood’ to this very day.
Fye nambe umughunda ughuo nambe lino,”ghutambulua mughunda ghwa Danda.”
9 Then it was that these words spoken by the prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled – ‘They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,
Mu uluo likava likwilanisivue ilisio lino um'bili uYeremia alyalembile kuuti,”Valyatolile indalama ifijigho fitatu, sino a Vaisilaeli valyiting'hiine kuuti indalama isio sikwiline kughulila umuunhu ujuo.
10 and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.’
Vakaghulila umughunda ghwa m'bumba fivigha ndavule alyandaghiile u Mutwa.
11 Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked the Governor. “It is true,” answered Jesus.
Pepano u Yesu akiima pa vuhighi pa ntwa u Pilato. Untwa akamposia akati,”Asi, uve veeve ntwa ghwa Vayahudi?”U Yesu akamwamula akati,”Uve ujovile.”
12 While charges were being brought against him by the chief priests and elders, Jesus made no reply.
Pe avavaha va vatekesi na vagoyo vakatengula kujova si nyinga isa kumpelela u Yesu ahighue neke umwene naakamula kimonga.
13 Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many accusations they are making against you?”
Pepano untwa akamposia akati,”Ghwe naghupulika isi sooni sino vikwoleka kuuti uhokile?”
14 Yet Jesus made no reply – not even a single word; at which the Governor was greatly astonished.
U Yesu naalyamwamwile kimonga. Apuo untwa u Pilato akadegha kyongo.
15 Now, at the feast, the Governor was accustomed to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might choose.
Lwale lwiho kwa ntwa pa kyimike ikya Pasaka kukun'dindulila unkungua jumo juno avaanhu vilonda kuuti ahume.
16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
Unsiki ughuo mu ndinde mwe alyale unkungua jumonga juno akatambuluagha Balaba. Unkungua ujuo alyakagulike fiijo vwimila uvuhosi vwake.
17 So, when the people had collected, Pilate said to them, “Which do you wish me to release for you? Barabbas? Or Jesus who is called ‘Christ’?”
Lino avaanhu ye vakong'hanile, u Pilato akavamposia akati,”Asi, mu vakungua vavili ava, u Balaba nu Yesu juno viiti ghwe Kilisite mulonda nivadindulile veeni?”
18 For he knew that it was out of jealousy that they had given Jesus up to him.
U Pilato alyavaposisie uluo ulwakuuva alyakagwile kuutiavavaha va Vayahudi valyale ni kivini nu Yesu, fye nambe valyantwalile kwa mwene kuuti ahighue.
19 While he was still on the Bench, his wife sent this message to him – “Do not have anything to do with that good man, for I have been very much troubled today in a dream because of him.”
U Pilato ye ikalile pa kitengo kyake ikya vuhighi, un'dala ghwake akasung'ha imhola kwa mwene akati,”Nungam'bombelaghe uluviivi lumonga umuunhu ujuo umugholofu, ulwakuva pakilo nihangajiike kyongo mu njosi vwimila umwene.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to kill Jesus.
Neke avavaha va vatekesi na vagoyo vakavahonga avaanhu kuuti vansuume u Pilato an'dindule u Balaba na kukumhigha u Yesu kuuti abadue.
21 The Governor, however, said to them, “Which of these two do you wish me to release for you?” “Barabbas,” they answered.
U Pilato akavaposia kange akati,”Ghwe veeni juno mulonda nin'dindulile mu vakungua vavili ava?”Vakamwamula vakati,”UBalaba.”
22 “What then,” Pilate asked, “should I do with Jesus who is called ‘Christ?’” “Crucify him,” they all replied.
U Pilato akavamposiankange akati, Pe nim'bombe kiki u Yesu juno viiti ghwe Kilisite?”Avaanhu vooni vakoova vakati,”Unkomelele pa kikivekano”
23 “Why, what harm has he done?” he asked. But they kept shouting furiously, “Crucify him!”
U Pilato akavamposia kange akati,”Umuunhu uju avombile luviivibluki?”Aveene vakaghina kukwova viuti,”Unkomelele pa kikovekano.”
24 When Pilate saw that his efforts were unavailing, but that, on the contrary, a riot was beginning, he took some water, and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying as he did so, “I am not answerable for this bloodshed; you must see to it yourselves.”
U Pilato ye akagwile kuuti naangandule uvulamusi vwa vaanhu kange vatengwile, ilyovo akatoola amalenga akoogha amavokonghaake pamaaso gha vaanhu, vooni kuvonia kuuti umwene namwale mu nkole ughuo. Akavavula akati,”Une nili nsila nkole vwimila kufua kwa umuunhu uju. Uluo lwinu jumue.”
25 And all the people answered, “His blood be on our heads and on our children’s!”
Avaanhu voonivakamwamula vakati,”Unkole ughwa kum'buda umuunhu ujuo ghuvisaghe ghwitu na vaana viitu.”
26 Then Pilate released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he had scourged, and gave him up to be crucified.
Pe pano u Pilato akan'dindulila uBalaba, neke akalaghila kuuti u Yesu akopue ni mijeledi na kukomelelua pa kikovekano.
27 After that, the Governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Government house, and gathered the whole garrison around him.
Pepano avasikali va ntwa u Pilato vakatwala u Yesu mu luviika lwa nyumba ja ntwa, pe ikipugha kyoni ikya vasikali kikakong'hona, kikansyungutila u Yesu.
28 They stripped him, and put on him a red military cloak,
Vakamfuula amenda ghaake, vakafwasia isopeka indangali, ndavule ija kitwa.
29 and having twisted some thorns into a crown, put it on his head, and a rod in his right hand, and then, going down on their knees before him, they mocked him. “Long life to you, king of the Jews!” they said.
Pe vakatenda ingeela ija mifua, vakafwasia ku mutu, neke vakaviika ulukwegho mu luvoko lwake ulwa ndio avonekaghe hwene ntwa. Pepano vakafughama pamaaso ghaake vikum'benapula na kukunnenela viiti,”Kamwene ghwe Ntwa ghwa Vayahudi?”
30 They spat at him and, taking the rod, kept striking him on the head;
Pe vakafuunyila amati, Vakatoola ulukwegho lula mu luvoko lwake, vakantova ku mutu.
31 and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the military cloak, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to be crucified.
Ye vannennile, vakamfuula isopeka jila, vakafwasia amenda ghaake. Pepano vakantwala kukunkomelela pa kikovekano.
32 As they were on their way out, they came upon a man from Cyrene called Simon, and they compelled him to go with them to carry the cross.
Ye vali mu sila viluta, vakatang'hana nu muunhu jumonga juno akatambuluagha Simoni, umhuma mu likaaja ilya Kileene. Avasikali vakamwumilisia kupinda ikikovekano kya Yesu.
33 On reaching a place named Golgotha (a place named from its likeness to a skull),
Ye vafikile pano pakatambuluagha Goligota, kwe kuuti,”Ling'ala lya Mutu,”
34 they gave him some wine to drink which had been mixed with gall; but after tasting it, Jesus refused to drink it.
Vakampeela uluhuuje uluhasing'hanie nu nkota ughwa kusilisia uvuvafi. Neke ye avonjile, akakaana kunyua.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among them by casting lots.
Vakankomelela pa kikovekano, pe vakaviika ulusodolelo kuuti amenda gha Yesu atoole veeni. Likavombeka enendiki neke likwilanisivue ilisio lino lilyajovilue nu m'bili kuuti, Vaghaviine amenda ghango, vasodolile mulwa kutoola isopeka jango.”
36 Then they sat down, and kept watch over him there.
Pe vakikala palapala kuuti vamulolelelaghe.
37 Above his head they fixed the accusation against him written out – ‘THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
Pa kikovekano ku mutu ghwake vakakomelela,”UJU GHWE YESU, UNTWA GHWA VAYAHUDi.”
38 At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.
Unsiki ghughuo avaanhu avange vavili vano valyale vahijivabudi vakakomelelua palikimo nu Yesu, jumonga akava ulubale lwake ulwa kundio, ujunge kung'highi.
39 The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads as they said,
Avaanhu vano vakava vikila pala vakasukaniagha amatu ghaake, vikumuligha viiti,
40 “You who would ‘destroy the Temple and build one in three days,’ save yourself! If you are God’s Son, come down from the cross!”
Uve ghwe juno ghwatisagha ghulimemula inyumba inyimike ija Nguluve neke ghujenga ifighono fitatu, nave uli Mwana ghwa Nguluve, Ghupoke, ghwke pa kikovekano!”
41 In the same way the chief priests, with the Teachers of the Law and elders, said in mockery,
Voope avavaha va vatekesi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo isa Moose palikimo na vagoyo avange vakamwovelelagha vakatisagha,”
42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the ‘king of Israel’! Why doesn’t he come down from the cross now, then we will believe in him.
Avapokaghava avange, lino ikunua kukupoka jujuo! Asi, naghwe ntwa ghwa Vaisilaeli, lino iike pa kikovekano, neke na jusue tumwitike.
43 He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said ‘I am God’s Son.’”
U mwene ikumhuviila ubNguluve, iiti Mwana ghwa Nguluve, lino nave u Nguluve amughanile, ampoke.”
44 Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, insulted him in the same way.
Nava vahijivabudi vanovvakomelilue palikimo nu Yesu, voope vakamuligha.
45 After midday a darkness came over all the country, lasting until three in the afternoon.
Kutenguala akavalilo aka ntanda pamwisi, ing'hisi jikakupiika iisi jooni kuhanga kufika akavalilo aka budika lubale.
46 About three Jesus called out loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabacthani” – that is to say, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’
Unsiki ughwa kavalilo aka budika lubale ndiiki u Yesu akakoola fiijo akati, Eloi, Eloi, lamacsabakitani? kwe kuuti,”Nguluve ghwango, Nguluve ghwango ongo undekile?”
47 Some of those standing by heard this, and said, “The man is calling for Elijah!”
Avaanhu vamonga vano valyimile pala ye vapulike u Yesu ijova amasio aghuo vakati,”Uju ikunkemeela um'bili u Eliya.”
48 One of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and, filling it with common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink.
Unsiki ghuoghuo umuunhu jumonga mu veene akaluta luvilo akatoola ikyenda, akasuvika mu luhuje ulukali akakiviika mu lulaasi akam'besekesia u Yesubpa mulomo kuuti amiime.
49 But the rest said, “Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.”
Neke avange vala vakati,”Uleke kukumpeela tulole nave u Eliya ikwisa kukumpoka,”
50 But Jesus, uttering another loud cry, gave up his spirit.
Pe u Yesu akakoola fiijo kange, akakunguka.
51 Suddenly the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were torn asunder,
Nakalingi, umwenda ghuno ghulyaghavilue pavili inyumba inyimike ija Nguluve, ghukademuka pavili kuhuma kukyanya kiufika paasi. Iisi jikasukanika na manhalavue ghakabajuka.
52 the tombs opened, and the bodies of many of God’s people who had fallen asleep rose,
Imbiipa sikasyiluka, avimike vinga vano valyafwile vakasyuka.
53 and they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.
Pa mbele u Yesu ye asyukile, avimike avuo vakingila mu likaaja ilyimike ilya Yelusalemu, vakavoneka ku vaanhu vinga.
54 The Roman centurion, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed, “This must indeed have been God’s Son!”
Pe um'baha ghwa vasikali palikimo na vala vano valyale vikumulolellela u Yesu ye vavwene iisi jisukanika ni singi sino sikahumiile pala, vakoghopa kyongo, vakati,”Kyang'hani umuunhu uju akaale Mwana ghwa Nguluve.
55 There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.
“Ye sivombike isi sooni, pwevalyale avakijuuva vinga vano valyimile patali padebe vilola. Avakijuuva avuo ve vano vakam'bingilile u Yesu kuhuma ku Galilaya na kukutengelela.
56 Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
Mu vakijuuva avuo, mwealyale uMaliya umhuma mu likaaja ilya Magidala, uMaliya ung'hina ghwa Yakovo nu Yosefu palikimo nu un'dala ghwa Sebedaayi.
57 When evening had fallen, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.
Ye jifikile ivwilile, akiisa umuunhu jumonga ummofu, ilitavua lyake alyale ghwe Yosefu, umhuma mu likaaja ilya Alimataya. Umuunhu ujuo alyale m'bulanisivua ghwa Yesu.
58 He went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate ordered it to be given him.
U Yosefu akaluta kwa Pilato kusuuma umfimba ghwa Yesu. U Pilato akavavuula avasikali vaake liiuuti vampeele umfimba ghula
59 So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,
Pepano u Yosefu akaluta akatoola umfimba ghwa Yesu akaghuniengelela nu mwenda ughwa kusyilila, um'balafu.
60 and laid it in his newly made tomb which he had cut in the rock; and, before he left, he rolled a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.
Pe akaghuviika mu mbiipa jaake imia jino alyabughwile mu linhalavue, akabilukisia ilivue ilikome pa mulyango ghwa mbiipa akavuka iluta.
61 Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.
Unsiki ughuo u Maliya umhuma mu likaaja ilya Magidala nu Maliya ujunge valikalile pala valungiime ku mbiipa.
62 The next day – that is, the day following the Preparation-day – the chief priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said,
Ikighono ikya vuvili kino kyale kya sabati, avavaha va vatekesi na vafalisayi vakakong'hana kwa Pilato.
63 “Sir, we remember that, during his lifetime, that impostor said ‘I will rise after three days.’
Pe vakam'bula vakati,”Ghwe ntwa, tukumbuka kuuti unsyangi jula ye mwumi, akajovile kuuti, Fingakile ifighono fitatu kuhuma nifua nisyuka.'
64 So order the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him, and then say to the people ‘He has risen from the dead,’ when the latest imposture will be worse than the first.”
Lino, tusuuma avavuule avasikali vaako valolelelaghe imbiipa kuhanga ikighono ikya vutatu, tungaleke kuvomba ulu, avavulanisivua vaake ndepoonu viluta kuhiija um'bili ghwake neke vavasyange avaanhu kuuti asyukile. Nave luvembeke uluo, uvudesi uvuo vuuva vuviivi kukila uvwa kwanda.
65 “You may have a guard,” was Pilate’s reply. “Go and make the tomb as secure as you can.”
U Pilato akavamula akati,”Mutoole avasikali. Mulute mulolelelaghe imbiipa ku ngufu siinu sooni.”
66 So they went and made the tomb secure, by sealing the stone, in presence of the guard.
Pepano vakaluta ku mbiipa, vakaviika ikivalilo pa livue kuuti napwengavisaghe umunhu ughwa kuvungulusia. Pe vakavaleka pala avasikali kuuti valolelelaghe.
