< Luke 22 >

1 It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
Bhapamila shikulukulu eye makati yeseponyezewe echachu yehwetwa shukulukulu eye pasaka.
2 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were seeking a way to kill Jesus. [But they wanted to do it secretly], because they were afraid that if [they did not do] it secretly, the people [might riot].
Na gosi abhemakohani na simbi bhali bhahwanza idara elya hugoje, afwanaje bhali bhabhogopa abhantu.
3 Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
Oshetani wamwinjila o Yuda yakwiziwa Iskariote, wape wamwo na bhala ethenashala.
4 Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize [Jesus].
Wasogola wabhata wayanga na gosi abha makuhani na jemedari ejinsi sha bhawezye hubheshe mmakhono gabho.
5 They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
Bhasongwa, bhetehana nawo hupele ehela.
6 So he agreed, [and they gave him the money]. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus] when there was no crowd around him.
Weteha wanza enafasi eya husaliti hwabhahale pasepali obongono.
7 Then the day during the [first part of the week-long festival] of Unleavened Bread came, [the day] when [the] lambs [for the] Passover [celebration] had to be killed.
Yafishili isiku lye makati gasegaponyezeyea we echachu, ambayo yahanziwaga asinze epasaka.
8 So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
Wabhasontezya o Petro no Yohana, wayanga bhalaji mtilenganyizye epasaka tipata alye.”
9 They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
Bhabhola, “Uhwanza tibhale hwi?”
10 He said to the [two of] them, “Listen carefully. When you [two] enter the city, a man who is carrying a [large] jar of water will meet you. Follow him. [When] he enters [a house],
Wabhabhola, “Enya, nambhahwinjile mwibomba mbhatangane ulume akhete esonta owe menze. Mrundozyaje mbhahwinjile enyumba yabhahwinji omwahale.
11 tell the owner of the house, ‘[Our] teacher says [that we(exc) should] ask [you(sg) to please] show [us] the room that [he arranged with you] where he can eat the Passover [meal] with [us], his disciples [RHQ].’
Na mbhahubhula omwanesho nyumba, “Osambelezi ahubhola, ili hwii empanda eyajenyi, empate alye Epasaka omwo pandwemo na manyiziwa bhane?”
12 He will show you a large room that is on the upper [floor of the house]. It will be all set up [for a meal]. Prepare the meal for us there.”
Wape abhabhalanje empanda engosi orufani, shimalishe asimbwe, lenganyi omwo.”
13 So [the two disciples] went [into the city]. They found everything to be just like [Jesus] had told them. So they prepared [the meal for] the Passover [celebration there].
Wabhala, bhalola neshe shabhabholele bhayilenganya Epasaka.
14 When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
Hata sala nayafiha akheye pashalye omwahale na bhala mitume pandwemo nawo.
15 He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
Wabhabhola, “Entanianile tee ayilye epasaka ene pandwemo namwe sesele alabha hwane.
16 I want you to know that I will not eat [the Passover meal] again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize [what it represents].”
Afwanaje embabhola eyaje sendya nantele hata nehaitimizya oumwene owa Ngolobhe.”
17 Then he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.
Yabha o Yesu wega shikombe, nawamala asaligwe wayanga, eji eshi na mgabhane, je mwemwe hwamwe.
18 I want you to know that [from now on] I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”
Afwanaje embabhola, sembamwele nantele papo eye mzabibu, mpaka umwene owa Ngolobhe nawayenza.”
19 Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them [to eat]. He said, “This [bread represents] my body, which [I] am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on [eating bread] this way [regularly] to remember what I [have done for you].”
Esho wega ibumunda nali amalile asalifye waumesula, nabhele, wayanga, ogu ni bele gwane ambao ufumiziwe kwajili eyahuumwe. Bhombaji eshi anizushe ane.”
20 Similarly, after [they had eaten] the meal, he took [another] cup [of wine]. He said, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body when I die]. [With] this blood [I will sign] the new agreement [that God is making with] you.
Wega eshikombe shesho shesho nabhalya eshaye esha nosiku wayanga, eshikombe ndagano epya ezya danda lyane ambalyo litishe kwa ajili yahulimwe.
21 But [note that] the one [SYN] who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!
Lelo enyaji ola yansaliti alipandwemo, nane pameza.
22 [It is certain that I], the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what [God] has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will (betray me/enable my enemies to seize me)!”
Afwanaje mwana owa Adamu lyoli abhabhale neshe shekusudiwe lelo, Ole wakwe omntu ya husaliti!”
23 Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
Bhandile abhozye bhebho hwa bhebho wenu miongoni mwabho ambaye agabhomba ijambo eli.
24 [The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
Esho wafumila adalihane bhebho bhene aje wenu wase bhelelwe abhe gosi ashile bhonti.
25 So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. [Yet] they give [themselves] the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
Wabhabhola, “Amwene abhabhantu abhemataifa bhana ugosi juu yabho na bhala bhabhali namamlaka juu yabho bhakwiziwa bhaheshimiwa bhalongozi.
26 But you should not be like them! Instead, those who [want God to consider them] the greatest should [act as though they] were the youngest, [since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones]. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves [the others].
Lelo sewanziwa abhesho hwilimwee amwe, ebadala yakwe leha ola ambaye gosi kati yahwilimwe abhe neshe ododu. Na ola yali wa mbimu tee abhe nenshe otumwa.
27 Keep in mind who is the most important one [RHQ]. It is certainly the one who [just sits] at the table, not [RHQ] those who serve [the meal]. But I, [your leader], have been [an example for you] by serving you [while I have been] among you.
Afwanaje yayolihu ogosi ola yakhala pameza nola yabhomba embombo? Eshi seyayola yakheye pameza? Na ane esele kati yenyu ane netumiaha.
28 You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
Lelo amwe mwemwe mwendeleye abhanane kati amalabha gane au (alengwe).
29 So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
Embapela amwe umwene neshe shla Ubaba shampiye ane umwene,
30 so that you can sit and eat [and rule] [MET] with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
je mpate alye na mwele pameza yane huumwene wane. Na mwikhala mmatengo age enzi mwaizilonga evikholo kumi na zibhele ezya Israeli.
31 “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked [God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress] (OR, [distress you]) [so that you will not believe/trust in me any more/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it] [MET].
Simoni, Simoni, manya aje, Shetani alabhile abhaje ili abhapete nenshe engano.
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you [(sg)] restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles [to trust in me more]!”
Lelo embalabhiye, yaje olyeteho lyaho lugaje munwe, nawe nohaya ulya obhazenje oholo bhaho.”
33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you [(sg)] if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”
Wabhola, “Gosi, nendi pandwemo nawe, ana endi tayali abhale mwijela au hata hufwe.”
34 Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you [(sg)] to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
Wayanga, “Ehubhola Petro, ehanda sebhakuje sanyono, sosele awe ahane mala hatatu eyaje somenye.”
35 Then [Jesus] asked all of them, “After I sent you out [to other villages, and you went] without taking any money or a [traveling] bag or [extra] sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “[That’s right], [we(exc) did] not [lack] anything.”
Wabhabhozya eshi epo, nehabhasontezyezye semwali nifuko walu omkoba wala evilato, mwapongoshewe na hantu?” Bhayanga “Haa.”
36 Then, [to show them that now many people would oppose them], (OR, [to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves], ) he said to them, “Now [things will be different. So] whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.
Wabhabhola, lelo eshi yali nifuko ayeje wape yali nomkoba ayeje, wape yasagali ni panga, na akazye ijoo lyakwe akale.
37 Because, I now tell you, [something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet] wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as [though he were] a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me [in the Scriptures] must be fulfilled.”
Afwanaje embabhola, ega gagasimbiwiwe segali ne budi atimiziwe hwiline, eyaje abhaziwe pandwemo nebho bhanankanya, afwanaje ewasiwa gali nomalishilo wakwe.”
38 [One of] the disciples said, “Lord, look! We [(exc)] have two swords!” [Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said], he replied to them, “That is enough [talk about swords]”!
Bhayanga, “Gosi, enya! Epa gahwili amapanga gabhele.” Wene.
39 As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
Wafuma wabhala mpaka mwigamba elya Mzietuni enshe ekawaida yakwe, asambeleziwa bhakwe bhape bhalongozanya nawo.
40 When he came to the place [where he often spent the night], he said to them, “Pray that [God will help you] whenever something tempts you.”
Nawafiha pala abhabholele, labhaji aje mganji ahwinji mndengo.
41 Then he went from them a distance of about 30 meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,
Omwahale wahwibagula nabho nenshe kias esha ponye iwe, wafugamila amafugamo watabha,
42 “[My] Father, if you are willing [to do it], force me [to have to undergo] these terrible things that [are about to happen to me] [MTY]. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”
ayanga, “Ee Baba, nkashele mapenzi gaho, onefwezye eshikombe eshi lelo senapenzi gane, eshi gahuliwe gabhombeshe.”
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
Omalaika afume amwanya wafumila wapela amaha.
44 He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.
Wape shila shali mmalabha, wonjezya alabhe tee, ehali yakwe yabha nenshe amalavula age danda galagala pansi.
45 When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.
Nawasogola hula alabhe hwakwe wabhalila asambelezewa bhakwe, wabhaga bhagonile otulo ogwa kogobhale,
46 He [woke them and] said to them, “(I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?) [RHQ] Get up! Pray that [God will help you] whenever you are tempted {when something [like this] tempts you}!”
wabhabhora, yenu mgonile otulo? Ogoli, mlabhe msahabha ahwinjile mndengo.'
47 While [Jesus] was still speaking, a crowd [came to him]. Judas, [even though he was] one of the twelve [disciples], was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him [on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus].
Basi nahali katika ayanje, enya obongano wa bhantu, nola yakwiziwa Yuda, ambaye ni moja yabhala mitume abhatagali hwitagalila wapalamila hwa Yesu ili ayayile.
48 Jesus said to him, “Judas, (I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me [as though you loved me] that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ]”
o Yesu wabhola, “Yuda, wamsaliti omwana owa Adamu esha huyayile?”
49 When the [disciples] who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we [(exc)] strike [them] with our swords?”
Na bhala bhabhali papepe nawo nbhalola gagafumila, bhayanga, “Gosi, tibhakhoma na mapanga”?
50 One of his [drew his sword and] struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him, but only] cut off his right ear.
Omo wabho wakhoma obhomba mbombo wa kuhani gosi, wadumla ikutu elya hulero.
51 But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
U Yesu wagalula woyanga, “Bhanji hulu hweli. Wapalamasya ikutu waponia.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the Temple guards, and the [Jewish] elders who had come to [seize] him, “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as [if I were] a bandit!/Why have you come here with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day [I was with you] in the Temple [courtyard], [and] you did not seize me! But this is the time [MTY] when [God is allowing] you [to do what you want]. It is also the time [MTY] when God is allowing [Satan, who rules] [MTY] [in] the darkness, [to do what he wants].”
U Yesu wabhabhola agosi bhemakuhani, na maakida abhibhanza, nazee bhebhenzele juu yakwe, “Eshi mwenzele mweli na mapanga nu ndugu nensheje mkhata ya fyola?
Shila lisiku nali pandwomo namwe mwibhanza semwasontezyezye amakhono lelo ene ndiyo sala yenyu. Lakini hii ni saa yako, na mamlaka age nkisi.
54 They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
Bhakhata, bhamwega, bhabhala nawo munyumba eya kuhani ogosi. Nu Petro alondolelaga sahutali.
55 They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
Nabhamalile ahwasya omwoto pahati eye shibhanja bhakheye pandwemo, wape u Petro akheye nabho.
56 As the light [from the fire] shone [on his face, a] female servant saw him and looked intently at him. She said, “This man was also with [the man whom they have arrested]!”
Ndipo obhomba mbombo omo walola akheye papalabha, walangulila amaso wayanga nono ali pandwemo nawo.
57 But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
Wakhana, wayanga, ee, she, semenye.
58 A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You [(sg)] also are one of those who [were with] the man [they arrested]!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not [one of them]!”
Pamanda hashe, omuntu owamwabho alolile wayanga, Petro wanyanga, “Ee mntu, se nene.”
59 About an hour later someone else said emphatically [about Peter], “[The way] that this man [speaks shows that he] is from Galilee [district]. Certainly this man was also with the man whom [they arrested, who is from Galilee]!”
Antele lyashita isala limo, omntu owamwabho wakasa ayanje, “Lyoli ono ali pandwemo nawo afwanaje omwahale nantele Mgalilaya.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you [(sg)] are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Petro wayanga, “Ee mntu, sendimenye lyo yanga.” Na pepo, pepo nali katika ayanje, ehanda ahakujile.
61 The Lord [Jesus] turned around and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “This night, before the rooster crows, you [(sg)] will deny three times [that you know] me.”
Gosi wagaluha wamwenya u Petro. U Petro walizuha lila izu elya Gosi, ejinsi shabholele, “Sanyono sesele akuje ehanda obhahane mala hatatu.”
62 And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
Wafuma hwonze waula humansai.
63 The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
Na bhala bhantu bhali bhahukhata u Yesu, bhabhombile edhihaka bhakhoma.
64 They put a blindfold on him and [beat him again. Then] they said to him, “[Because you(sg) say] [IRO] that you are a prophet, [prove it by] telling us who it was that struck you!”
Bhavwenesya amaso, bhanda hubhozye, bhozye bhayanga, kuwa wenu yakhonule?”
65 They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
Bhafumizya nengwa mwabho nyinji gahuliji.
66 At dawn [the next morning], many of the [Jewish] leaders gathered together. The group included the chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They took Jesus to the Jewish Council. There the men of the Council said to him,
Hata nahwashiye, bhatangene amwabho abheshi gosi, na gosi abhe makuhani nusimbi bhateta mwikoloti lyabho bhayanga,
67 “If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
nkashile, “Awe wa Klisiti, tibhole.” Wabhabhola ewapo embabhola, semuwezizya ahweteshele tee,
68 If I ask you [what you think about the Messiah], you will not answer me.
na nkashele mbabhozye sembhagalule.”
69 But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
Lelo ahwanda eshi na hwendele, Omwana owa Adamu abhabhe akheye okhono ondelo ogwe maha aga Ngolobhe.”
70 Then they all said, “If that is so, are [you(sg) saying that] you are (the Son of God/the Man who is also God)?” He said to them, “[Yes], it is just like you say [MTY].”
Bhonti bhayanga, “Eshi awe oli Mwana wa Ngolobhe?” Na Yesu wabhabhola, “Amwe myanjile ane nene.”
71 Then they said [to each other], “(We [(inc)] certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against him]!/Why should we ask for any more people to testify [against him]?) [RHQ]” We ourselves have heard him say [MTY] [that he is equal with God]!
Bhayanga, “Yesnu tihwanza nantele oushahidi afwanaje ate tete tovwezya afume mwilomu lyakwe yoyo.”
