Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended all these words, he said unto his disciples:
Yesu peamalakisi kujova malovi genago, ndi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki,
2 Ye know that, after two days, the passover, taketh place, —and, the Son of Man, is to be delivered up, to be crucified.
“Mumanyili kuvya gasigalili magono gavili, yati kwivya na mselebuko wa Pasaka, hinu Mwana wa Mundu yati igotolewa muni avambiwa na kufwa pamsalaba.”
3 Then, were gathered together, the High-priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High-priest who was called Caiaphas;
Lukumbi lwenulo vakulu va kuteta na vawula va Malagizu vakonganiki pamonga muluvanja lwa mteta mkulu liina laki Kayafa.
4 and they took counsel together, in order that, Jesus, by guile, they might secure, and slay.
Vakajovesana ndava ya kumkamula Yesu kwa mfiyu na kumkoma.
5 They were saying, however: Not during the feast, lest, an uproar, arise among the people.
“Vakajova, nambu tikotoka kuhenga lijambu lenili lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa pasaka, muni vandu vakotoka kuhenga chitututu.”
6 But, Jesus, happening to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Yesu peavi ku Betania, ku nyumba ya Simoni mweavi na mabudi,
7 there came unto him a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of costly perfume, and she poured it down upon his head, as he was reclining.
mau mmonga mweavi na kachupa ya alabasta kamahuta geginungalila bwina na ga mashonga gamahele, ambwelili na kumyitila pamutu Yesu peilya chakulya.
8 And the disciples, seeing it, were greatly displeased, saying—To what end, this loss?
Hinu vawuliwa vaki pavagaweni genago vayomili, vakakota, “Luyagu lwenulo lwa kyani?”
9 For this could have been sold for much, and given to the destitute.
“Ndava mahuta ago geginungalila bwina ngagaguliswi kwa mashonga gamahele, na kuvapela vangangu mashonga ago!”
10 But Jesus, taking note, said unto them—Why vex ye the woman? for, a seemly work, hath she wrought for me;
Yesu agamanyili maholo gavi, ndi akavajovela, “Ndava kyani mukumung'aha mau mwenuyu? Mwene anihengili lijambu labwina neju.
11 For, always, the destitute, have ye with you, —but, me, not always, have ye;
Ndava muni yati mwivya na vangangu pamonga nawu magono goha, nambu nene yati nakuvya pamonga na nyenye magono goha.
12 For, she, pouring this perfume upon my body, so as to prepare me for burial, did it.
Mau mwenuyu aniyitili mahuta geginungalila bwina ndava kunitendelekeha higa yangu kwa maziku.
13 Verily, I say unto you—Wheresoever this glad-message shall be proclaimed in all the world, also what she did, will be told, as a memorial of her.
Nikuvajovela chakaka, pamulima poha Lilovi la Bwina lenili pelikokoselewa, chitendu cheahengili mau uyu yati chiluwuliwa ndava ya kumkumbuka mwene.”
14 Then, went one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, unto the High-priests,
Kangi mmonga pagati ya vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili vala mweikemiwa Yuda Isikalioti, akahamba kwa vakulu va kuteta,
15 and said—What are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
akavakota, “Yati mukunipela kyani ngati nivagotolili Yesu?” Vamvalangili hipandi selasini vya madini ga feza.
16 And, from that time, was he seeking a favourable opportunity that he might, deliver him up.
Kutumbula ligono lenilo Yuda akalonda nafwasi ya kumng'anamukila.
17 And, on the first of the days of unleavened bread, the disciples came unto Jesus, saying—Where wilt thou, that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?
Ligono la kutumbula kwakona mselebuko wa mabumunda gangali ngemeku, ndi vawuliwa vamhambili Yesu vakamkota, “Wigana koki tikutendelekeha chakulya cha Pasaka?”
18 And, he, said—Go your way into the city, unto such-a-one, and say to him, The teacher, saith, My season, is, near, with thee, will I keep the passover, with my disciples.
Mwene akavayangula, “Mhamba kumuji kwa mgosi mmonga na kumjovela,” Muwula ajovili, ligono laki lihegelili nene na vawuliwa vangu yati tilya chakulya cha Pasaka kwa veve.
19 And the disciples did, as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.
Vawuliwa vakatendelekela ngati Yesu cheavalagizili vakatendelekela chakulya cha Pasaka.
20 And, when, evening, came, he was reclining with the twelve [disciples];
Palatipimi lilanga, Yesu atamili kulya chakulya pamonga na vawuliwa vaki voha kumi na vavili.
21 and, as they were eating, he said—Verily, I say unto you, One from among you, will deliver me up.
Pavavi mukulya, Yesu akavajovela, “Nikuvajovela chakaka mmonga winu yati akuning'anamukila.”
22 And, being exceedingly grieved, they began to be saying to him, each one—Can it be, I, Lord?
Vawuliwa vakavya vakaviniswa neju mtima, vakatumbula kukotana mmonga mmonga, “Bambu! Wu, ndi nene?”
23 And, he, answering, said—He who hath dipped with me his hand in the bowl, the same, will deliver me up.
Yesu akayangula “Mweijwiga libumunda munkeve pamonga na nene ndi mweakuning'anamukila.
24 The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him, —But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!
Mwana wa Mundu yati ifwa ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, nambu alachikolela mundu yula mweamng'anamukila! Ngayivii mbanga mundu mwenuyo ngaavelekewi lepi.”
25 And Judas, who was delivering him up, answering, said—Can it be, I, Rabbi? He saith unto him—Thou, hast said.
Yuda ndi mweamung'anamukili, akamkota “Muwula wu, ndi nene?” Yesu akayangula “Ujovili wamwene.”
26 And, as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf and blessing, brake, —and, giving to his disciples, said—Take, eat! This, is, my body.
Pevavi mukulya, Yesu akatola libumunda, akamsengusa Chapanga akayimetula, akavapela vawuliwa vaki akajova, “Mtola mlyayi, yeniyi ndi higa yangu.”
27 And, taking a cup, and giving thanks, he gave unto them, saying—Drink of it, all of you;
Kangi akatola chikombi cha divayi, akamsengusa, akavapela akajova, “Mnywayi nyenye mwavoha,
28 For, this, is my blood of the covenant, which, for many, is to be poured out, for remission of sins.
muni yeniyi ndi ngasi yangu yeyilangisa lilaganu, yeyiyitika ndava kuvalekekesa vandu vamahele kumbudila Chapanga.
29 Moreover, I say unto you—In nowise, will I drink, henceforth, of this produce of the vine, until that day, whensoever I shall drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.
Nikuvajovela, ninywa lepi kavili divayi ya zabibu mbaka pa ligono peninywa ya mupya pamonga na nyenye mu Unkosi wa Dadi wangu.”
30 And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.
Pavamali kuyimba lunyimbu lwa kumlumba Bambu, vakawuka na kuhamba kuchitumbi cha Mizeituni.
31 Then, Jesus saith unto them—All ye, will find cause of stumbling in me, during this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep of the flock, will be scattered abroad;
Kangi Yesu akavajovela, “Lelu kilu mwavoha nyenye yati mwitila na kunileka namwene, muni ndi chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, ‘Yati nikumkoma mdimaji, na msambi woha wa mambelele yati wipechengana.’
32 But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
Nambu panakayukayi, yati nikuvalongolela ku Galilaya.”
33 Now Peter, answering, said unto him—Though, all, shall find cause of stumbling in thee, I, shall never find cause of stumbling.
Penapo Petili akamyangula, “Hati ngati voha yati vakutila, nambu nene katu nikukuleka lepi.”
34 Jesus saith unto him: Verily, I say unto thee—During this night, before a cock crow, Thrice, wilt thou deny me.
Yesu akamyangula Petili, “Nikujovela chakaka, kilu yiyiyi kwakona lijogolo kuvika yati ukunibela mala yidatu.”
35 Peter saith unto him: Even though it be needful for me, with thee to die, in nowise, will I deny thee. Likewise, all the disciples also, said.
Petili akamjovela kavili, “Hati ngati yikunigana nifwayi pamonga na veve katu nikuleka lepi.” Na vala vawuliwa vangi vakajova mewawa.
36 Then Jesus cometh with them, into a place called Gethsemane, —and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
Kangi Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vakahamba pamonga pandu pepikemelewa Gesemane, ndi akavajovela, “Mtama apa na nene nihamba pala kumuyupa Chapanga.”
37 And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress.
Avatolili Petili na vana vavili va Zebedayo, Yesu akatumbula kuviniswa mtima na man'gaiso.
38 Then, saith he unto them: Encompassed with grief, is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching with me.
Kangi akavajovela, “Niviniswa neju mumtima hati papipi kufwa. Mtama bahapa mkoto kugona pamonga na nene.”
39 And, going forward a little, he fell upon his face, offering prayer, and saying—My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from me, —Nevertheless, not as, I, will, but as, thou, wilt.
Akahegelela palongolo, akagwa cha kukupama, akamuyupa Chapanga. “Dadi wangu, ngati yihotoleka chikombi ichi cha man'gaiso chiniyepa, nambu lepi chenigana nene, ndi ngati chaugana wamwene.”
40 And he cometh unto his disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and said unto Peter—Thus, powerless are ye, one hour, to watch with me?
Kangi akavawuyila vawuliwa vala, avakolili vavi lugono. Akamkota Petili, “Wu, nakuhotola kutama changagona pamonga na nene hati saa yimonga ndu?
41 Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak.
Mkoto kugona mumyupa Chapanga mkoto kugwa mukulingiwa. Mpungu wigana nambu higa yitamu.”
42 Again, a second time, departing he prayed, saying: My Father! If it is impossible for this to pass, except I, drink, it, Accomplished, be, thy will.
Yesu akahamba kavili, kumuyupa Chapanga, “Dadi wangu, ngati yihotoleka lepi chikombi cha man'gaiso aga chihamba changanywa nene, hinu mganu waku uhengekayi.”
43 And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.
Peavawuyili kavili, na kuvakolela vagonili, ndava vavi na lugono neju.
44 And, leaving them, he, again, departed, and prayed a third time, the same word, saying again.
Akavaleka, akahamba kangi mala ya datu kumuyupa Chapanga mu malovi galagala.
45 Then, cometh he unto the disciples, and saith unto them, —Ye are sleeping what time remaineth, and taking your rest: Lo! the hour hath drawn near, and, the Son of Man, is being delivered up into the hands of sinners.
Kangi akavahambila vawuliwa vala akavajovela, “Wuli, mwakona mwigona na kupumulila? Mlolayi! Lukumbi lwene luhikili, na Mwana wa Mundu yati igotolewa kwa vandu vevambudila Chapanga.
46 Arise! let us be going, —Lo! he that delivereth me up, hath drawn near.
Muyima, tihamba. Mlolayi! Mweakunigotola yula avi papipi.”
47 And, while, yet, he was speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and, with him, a large multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and Elders of the people.
Lukumbi Yesu akona ilongela nawu, akabwela Yuda, mmonga pagati ya vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili. Mwene pamonga na vandu vamahele vevagegili mapanga na vibonga vevatumwili na vakulu va kuteta na vagogo va vandu.
48 And, he who was delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying—Whomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is, —secure him.
Yuda mweakumng'anamukila Yesu amali kuvalangisa ulangisu “Yula mwenikumkumbatila ndi mumkamula.”
49 And, straightway, coming unto Jesus, he said—Joy to thee! Rabbi, and eagerly kissed him.
Hinu Yuda akamhegelela Yesu na kumjambusa, “Tukuwoni, Muwula,” Ndi akamkumbatila.
50 But, Jesus, said unto him—Friend! wherefore art thou here? Then, coming forward, they thrust their hands upon Jesus, and secured him.
Yesu akamyangula “Nkozi, kitayi cha ubweli kukita.” Penapo vandu vala vakamhegelela na vakamukamula Yesu, vakamvika muulonda wavi.
51 And lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword, and smiting the servant of the High-priest, cut off his ear.
Mmonga wa vala vevavi pamonga na Yesu, akaholomola upanga waki akamtova nawu mtumisi wa Mteta mkulu akamdumula likutu.
52 Then, Jesus saith unto him—Put back thy sword into its place, for, all they who take a sword, by a sword, shall perish.
Penapo Yesu akamjovela, “Wuyisa upanga waku pachihaku paki, ndava yeyoha mweikoma na upanga yati ifwa na upanga.
53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot call upon my Father, and he will set near me, even now, more than twelve legions of messengers?
Wu, mwihololela lepi nihotola kumuyupa Dadi wangu, mwene ngaaniletili hinu misambi neju ya kumi na yivili va manjolinjoli vamitumu vaki va kunani?
54 How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?
Nambu gitimila wuli Mayandiku Gamsopi gegijova kuvya cheyiganikiwa gavyai?”
55 In that hour, said Jesus unto the multitudes: As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me? Daily in the temple, used I to sit teaching, and ye secured me not;
Lukumbi lulolo Yesu akaujovela msambi wa vandu vala vevabweli kumkamula, “Wu, mbweli na mapanga na vibonga kunikamula ngati nene mwenangayidakila malagizu? Magono goha navi mu Nyumba ya Chapanga niwula, nambu mwanikamwili lepi.
56 But, this, hath, wholly, come to pass, that, the Scriptures of the prophets, may be fulfilled. Then, the disciples, all forsaking him, fled.
Nambu mambu genaga goha gahengiki muni malovi gegajoviki na vamlota va Chapanga mu Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimilayi.” Kangi vawuliwa voha vakamleka na kutila.
57 And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together.
Vandu vala vevamkamwili Yesu vamhindikili kunyumba ya Kayafa Mteta Mkulu, pavakonganiki vawula va malagizu na vagogo va Vayawudi.
58 Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest, —and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.
Nambu Petili amlandili Yesu cha kutali mbaka kuluvanja lwa Mteta Mkulu, akayingila mugati pamonga na valonda muni alola mambu gegihumila.
59 Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;
Hinu vamteta vakulu na vakulu va Luvanja voha vakalonda malovi gaudese ndava ya Yesu muni vamkoma.
60 and found not any, though many came forward as false-witnesses. At length, however, there came forward, two,
Nambu nakupata chindu chochoha pamonga na ago, vabweli vandu vamahele kujova udese, pamwishu vabweli vandu vavili,
61 and said: This, man said—I am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.
ndi vakajova, “Mundu uyu ajovili, ‘Ihotola kudenya Nyumba ya Chapanga na kujenga kavili mu magono gadatu.’”
62 And the High-priest, arising, said unto him—Nothing, answerest thou? What are these, against thee bearing witness?
Mteta Mkulu akayima akamkota Yesu “Wu, wiyangula lepi? Vandu ava vakukutakila kyani kukuvala veve?”
63 But, Jesus, was silent. And, the High-priest, said unto him: I put thee on oath, by the Living God, that, to us, thou say—Whether, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God.
Nambu Yesu agunili nuu. Mteta Mkulu, akamjovela, “Nikulapakisa kwa Chapanga mweavimumi, utijovelayi ngati veve ndi Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga!”
64 Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto you—Hereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.
Yesu akayangula, “Wamwene umali kujova! Nambu nikuvajovela, kuhuma hinu yati mukumlola Mwana wa Mundu atamili muchiwoko cha kulyelela cha Bambu mweavi na makakala, ibwela panani ya mahundi ga kunani kwa Chapanga.”
65 Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying—He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!
Penapo, ndi Mteta Mkulu akapapula nyula zaki, akajova, “Amuligili Chapanga! Tigani lepi mundu yungi wa kumtakila! Hinu niyuwini cheamligili Chapanga!
66 How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is.
Nyenye muhololela wuli?” Vene vakamyangula, “Yikumgana akomiwa!”
67 Then, spat they into his face, and buffeted him; and, others, struck him smartly,
Kangi vakamuhunyila mata kumihu, vakamtova na vangi vakampamanda
68 saying—Prophesy unto us, O Christ! Who is he that struck thee?
vakamkota, “Ulotelayi, veve Kilisitu Msangula! Ndi yani mweakutovili!”
69 Now, Peter, was sitting without, in the court; and there came unto him a certain female servant, saying—Thou also, wast with Jesus, the Galilaean.
Petili atamili kuvala ya luvanja. Ndi mtumisi mmonga mdala amhambili, akamjovela, “Veve wavi pamonga na Yesu wa ku Galilaya.”
70 But, he, denied before all, saying—I know not what thou sayest.
Nambu Petili akabela palongolo ya voha, “Nichimanyi lepi chewijova.”
71 And, when he went out into the porch, another female saw him, and said unto them who were there—This, one was with Jesus the Nazarene.
Petili pahaumayi pamlyangu, mtumisi yungi msikana amuwene, ndi akavajovela vandu vevavi pala. Mundu uyu avi pamonga na Yesu wa ku Nazaleti.
72 And, again, he denied, with an oath—I know not the man.
Petili akabela kavili kwa chilapu, “Nimmanyili lepi mundu uyu.”
73 And, after a little, the by-standers, coming forward, said unto Peter: Truly, thou also, art, from among them, for, thy very speech, maketh thee, manifest.
Mwanakandahi, vandu vevayimili penapo vamhambili Petili, vakamjovela “Chakaka veve mmonga wavi, hati chaujova kukumanyisa.”
74 Then, began he to be cursing and swearing—I know not the man! And, straightway, a cock crowed.
Kangi Petili akatumbula kujilapakisa likoto na kulapa ijova, “Nimmanyili lepi mundu uyu!” Bahapo lijogolo likavika.
75 And Peter was put in mind of the declaration of Jesus, of his having said—Before a cock crow, thrice, wilt thou utterly deny me; and, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.
Petili akumbwiki malovi ga Yesu, geamjovili, “Kwakona lijogolo kuvika, yati ukunibela mala yidatu.” Ndi akahuma kuvala akavembeneka neju.
