Mark 14
1 It was only two days before the [people] ([celebrated/started to celebrate]) [for one week the] festival [which they called] Passover. During those days they also celebrated the festival of (Unleavened Bread/[eating] bread that had no yeast in it). The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were planning how they could seize Jesus secretly. [They wanted to accuse him in front of the Roman authorities] so that they would execute him.
Atuh hin lätnak pawi la nghngen am bawikia buhpawhnak pawi a pha vai amhmüp nghngihnak ni. Ktaiyü ktung he la thum jah mtheiki he naw, Jesuh man u lü ampyua ami mkhyühnak vaia lam suiki he.
2 But they were saying to one another, “We must not [do it] during the celebration, because, [if we do it then], the people will [be very angry with us and] riot!”
Cunsepi, “Pawi k’um üng ta am kya kawm, khyang he suksak khai he ni,” ami ti.
3 Jesus was at Bethany [town] in the house of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed from] leprosy. While they were eating, a woman came [to him]. [She was carrying] a stone jar that contained expensive [fragrant] perfume called nard. She opened the jar and then she poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.
Jesuh Bethanih ngnam mnehkse mnehki Sihmona ima awmki. Buh a ei k’um üng nghuminu mat naw aphu küi alabasta sing’ui cun aphu küikia um üng abea lawpüi lü, um seih ak lü Jesuha lu khana a buih law.
4 One of the people [who were present] became angry and said to the others, “([It is terrible that she] wasted that perfume!/[Why did she] waste that perfume?) [RHQ]
Acunüng awmki he avang naw am kyäpsak u lü, “Ivai hina sing’ui päihcaihsaki ni?
5 It could have been sold {[We] could have sold it} for (a huge amount of money/an amount of money for which a person works for a year), and then [the money] could have been given {[we] could have given [the money]} to poor people!” So he rebuked her.
Ahin hin ngui phya kthuma (kum mat hlawheia däm bawki phu naki) jawi lü m'yenkse he üng jah pet vai sü,” tia nghnumi ami pyenei.
6 But Jesus said, “Stop [scolding] her! She has done to me what I [consider to be] very appropriate/delightful. So (you should not bother her!/why do you bother her?) [RHQ]
Cunsepi Jesuh naw, “Amäta ngaiha ti se. I vaia am nami pyenksaeiki ni? Hin naw ka phäha akdaw pawh ye se.
7 You will always have poor people among you. So you can help them whenever you want to. But I will not [be here among] you much longer. [So it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me].
M'yenkseki he cun anglät se nami hlawnga ve hlü ye u se, anglätse nami ngaiha kcün üng nami jah kpüi theiki. Cunsepi kei cun anglätse nami hlawnga am ve hlü nawng.
8 [It is appropriate that] she has done what she was able to do. [It is as if she knew that I was going to die soon] and has anointed my body for their burying it.
Hina nghnumi naw a khyaihca pawh ve; ka pumsa k’ut vaia kcün am a pha ham üng, ka ng’utnak vai pyang ve.
9 I will tell you this: Wherever the good message [about me] is preached {people preach the good message} throughout the world, what she has done will be told {people will tell others what she has done [to me]}, and as a result people will remember her.”
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, khawmdek khan naküta thangkdaw sang hünak naküt üng hina nghnumia a bilawh pi ani sümnak vaia pyen sih khai he ni,” a ti.
10 Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) went to the chief priests in order to [talk to them about] helping them to seize Jesus. He did that [even though] he was one of the twelve [disciples]
Acunüng Judah Iskarot, xaleinghngih he üngka mat cun Jesuh ceng khaia ktaiyü ktung hea veia citki.
11 When they heard [what he was willing to do for them], they were very happy. They promised that they would give him [a large amount of] money [for doing that. Judas agreed, so they gave him the money]. As a result, he [began] watching for an opportunity (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
A pyen ami ngjak üng aktäa je na u lü, ngui ami pet vaia ami khyütamnak. Acunüng, Judah naw a jah kpanaksak vaia kcün suiki.
12 [Two days later], when they killed the lambs [for the] festival at the beginning of the week when [people ate] bread that had no yeast in it, Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration] in order that you can eat it [with us]?”
Nghngen am bawikia buhpawhnaka mhmüp kcük, lätnak toca he ami jah hnimnak khawia mhmüp üng, axüisaw he naw, “Lätnak pawi buh na einak vaia hawia ni kami va pyan vai na hlüei?” tia ami kthäh.
13 So he [chose] two of his disciples [to prepare everything]. He said to them, “Go into [Jerusalem] city. A man will meet you, who will be carrying a large jar full of water. Follow him.
Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw xawi nghngih jah tüi lü, “Mlüh k’uma va cit ni lü kpami mat k’am üng tui kawtki naw ning jah na khyum khai. Acun nani läk vai.
14 When he enters [a house], say to the man who owns the house, ‘[Our] teacher wants us to prepare [the meal of] the Passover celebration so that he can eat it with us his disciples. (Please show us the room that he [arranged with you about]./Where is the room that he [arranged with you about]?) [RHQ]’
A luhnaka im üng lut ni lü, ‘Saja naw, ka xüisaw he am lätnak pawi buh kami einak hmaih vai im hawia ni?’ ti ve nani ti vai.
15 He will show you a large room that is on the upper floor [of the house]. It will be furnished and ready [for us to eat a meal in it]. Then prepare the meal there for us.”
Acunüng ani naw im khan angsawngnu, mi phäha avan küm khaia ami pyan päng ning jah mhmuh khai, acuia ei vai nami pyang vai” a ti.
16 So the [two] disciples left. They went into the city and found [everything] to be just like he had told them. They prepared the [meal for] the Passover [celebration, and then returned to Jesus and the other disciples].
Axüisaw xawi cit ni lü mlüh k’uma cit ni se, a jah mtheha kba va hmu ni lü, lätnak pawi buh ani va pyang.
17 When it was evening, Jesus arrived [at that house] with the twelve [disciples].
Khaw a mü law üng Jesuh axüisaw he xaleinghngih am lawki he.
18 As they were all sitting there [and eating], Jesus said, “Listen carefully to this: One of you will enable my enemies to seize me. Specifically, it is one of you who [will do this in spite of the fact that he] is eating with me [right now]!”
Ngaw u lü ami ei k’um üng Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nangmi üngka mat, kani ei hmaihki naw na ceng khai,” a ti.
19 The disciples became very sad and they said to him one by one, “Surely (it is not I!/I am not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
Axüisaw he thüisei law u lü, “Acun mä kei na na pyenak aw, am ni aw? tia kthäh law tüi tüiki he.
20 Then he said to them, “It is one of [you] twelve [disciples], the one who is dipping [bread] into the [sauce in the] dish along with me.
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Xaleinghngih üngka mat, kbe üng na kpuiheipüi hmaihkia kyaki ni.
21 It is certain that [I], the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been {what [the prophets] have} written about me. But there will be terrible [punishment] for the man by whom I will be betrayed {who will (betray me/help my enemies to seize me)}! In fact, it would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
Khyanga Capa cun amawng cangcim üng ana ng’yuka kba thih khai; cunsepi Khyanga Capa cengki hin a jo se ve! Acuna khyang hin am a hmi law a phäha daw bawk khai sü,” a ti.
22 While they were eating, he took [a flat loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them and said to them, “This [bread represents] [MET] my body. Take it [and eat it].”
Ami ei k’um üng Jesuh naw muk lo lü, jekyainaka ngthu am ktaiyü lü, boki naw jah pe lü, “Ei ua, hin cun ka pumsa ni,” a ti.
23 Afterwards, he took a cup [that contained wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to them, and then, as they all drank from it,
Acunüng capyittui khawt lo lü, jekyainak Mhnam üng mtheh lü, jah pe se; ami van naw awki he.
24 he said to them, “This [wine represents] [MET] my blood, which is about to be shed {which is about to flow from my body} [when my enemies kill me]. With this blood I [will sign] the agreement [that God has made to forgive the sins of] many people.
Jesuh naw, “Hin hin ka thisen khyang khawjaha phäha ngsawiki, Pamhnama ngthumkhänmsingnaka kyaki.
25 I want you to know this: I will not drink any more wine in this way until the time when I drink it with a new [meaning] when I begin to rule as a king.”
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, Pamhnama khawa capyittui akthai ka awknaka mhmüp am a pha law hama küt üng, hina capyittui am ka aw be ti khai,” a ti.
26 After they sang a hymn, they went out toward Olive [Tree] Hill.
Acunüng ng’äi mcuk u lü, Olip mcung da citki he.
27 [While they were on their way], Jesus said to them, “It has been {[The prophets] have} written [in the Scriptures that God said about me], ‘I will kill the shepherd and his sheep will scatter.’ [Those words will come true. When they are about to capture me], all of you will leave me and run away.
Jesuh naw jah mtheh lü, ‘Pamhnam naw toksäm hnim se, to he ngpyeng hü khai he’ tia cangcim üng a awma kba, “Na yawk u lü nami van naw nami na cen ta khai.
28 But after I have been made {[God] has made me} alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
Cunsepi ka thawh be käna Kalile khawa nami ma ka na cit khai,” a ti.
29 Then Peter said to him, “Perhaps all the [other disciples] will leave you, but not I! I will not [leave you]!”
Pita naw msang lü, “Ami van naw ning dawng ta u se pi, kei naw ta am ka ning dawng ta süm süm khai,” a ti.
30 Then Jesus said to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows a second time, you yourself will deny three times [that you know] me!”
Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning mthehki, tuhmü mthan, ai nghngih vei am khawng ham se kthum vei na ngcim khai,” a ti.
31 But Peter replied strongly, “Even if they kill me [as I defend] you, I will never deny [that I know] you!” And all [the other disciples] said the same thing.
Pita naw, “Na hlawnga ka thih hnga vai üng pi, am ka ngcim khai,” a ti. Acukba ami van naw ami ti hnga.
32 [On the way], Jesus and the disciples came to the place that [people] call Gethsemane. Then he said to [some/eight of] his disciples, “Stay here while I pray!”
Ketaseman ami tia hmüna lawki he Jesuh naw, “Hin üng a na ngaw u, va ktaiyü vang,” ti lü axüisaw he a jah mtheh.
33 Then he took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed, and he said to them,
Acunüng Pita, Jakuk la Johan jah ngkhahpüi lü, aktäa a mlung na se khüikhaki.
34 “I [SYN] am very sorrowful. [It is as if] I were about to die. [You men] remain here and stay awake!”
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Ka mlungmthina khuikhanak cun aktä leng lenga na lü na mthih khaia kya ve. Hin üng awm u lü ana mdei ua,” a ti.
35 He went a bit further and threw himself on the ground. Then he prayed that if it were possible, he would not [have to suffer] [MTY].
Ajawha va cit lü, mdeka ngbawk lü, akya thei vai sü ta acuna khuikhanak am a khamei vaia ktaiyü lü,
36 He said, “O my Father, [because] you are able to do everything, rescue me so that I do not have to suffer [now] [MTY]! But do not [do] what I want. Instead, [do] what you want!”
“Ka Pa aw, ka pa aw! Nang üng avan kya theiki ni. Hina khuikhanaka khawt hin ka khan üngka naw loa. Cunsepi keia ngjakhlüa am ni na ngjakhlüa kyase,” ti lü ktaiyüki.
37 Then he returned and found his [disciples] sleeping. He [woke them up and] said, “Simon! ([I am disappointed that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just a short time!/[Why is it that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just one hour?) [RHQ]”
Acunüng a nghlat law be üng axüisaw he kthum ip u se jah hmu lü Pita üng, “Sihmon, na ipeiki aw? Naji matca pi am na mdei theiki aw?
38 [And he said to them], “You want [to do what I say], but you are not strong enough [MTY] [to actually do it]. So keep awake and pray in order that you can resist when [something like this] tempts you!”
Hlawhlepnak üng am nami kyukngtängnak vaia, ngäng u lü ktaiyü ua. Ngmüimkhya ta yäng teki pumsa naw am läih ve,” a ti.
39 Then he went away again and prayed again what he prayed before.
Jesuh va cit be lü, a pyena kba pyen lü va ktaiyü beki.
40 When he returned, he found that they were sleeping again because they were [so] sleepy that they could not keep their eyes open. [Because they were ashamed], they did not know what to say to him [when he awakened them].
Acunüng axüisaw hea veia a law be üng ami ihmik am caikia kpi ana ipei be u lü, ihawkba ami msang vaia pi am ksing u lü awmki he.
41 [Then he went and prayed again]. He returned a third time; [and he found them sleeping again]. He [woke] all of [them and] said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] sleeping again!/[Why are you] sleeping again?) [RHQ] [You have slept] enough. The time [for me to suffer] is about to begin. Look! Someone is about to enable sinful men to seize me, the one who came from heaven.
Akthumnaka a law be üng, “Atuh vei cäpa ip u lü nami xüieiki aw? Khäk ve! akcün pi pha law päng ve! teng u, Khyanga Capa cun khyangka hea kut üng mansak vaia kya ve.
42 [So] get up! Let’s go [toward him] Look! Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
Tho law ua mi cit vai. Teng u, na cengki pha law päng ve,” a ti.
43 While he was still speaking, Judas [arrived]. [Even though he was] one of [Jesus’] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A crowd who carried swords and clubs was with him. The [leaders of] the Jewish Council had sent them.
Acukba ana ngthuhei k’um üng xaleinghngih üngka mat Judah pha lawki. Ani mah maha likcim la kpaihmäng kpawmkia khyang khawjah; ktaiyü ktung he, thum jah mtheiki he la axüngvai hea ami jah tüi law pha lawki he.
44 [Judas], who was (betraying Jesus/helping Jesus’ enemies to seize him), had [previously] told this crowd, “The man whom I kiss is the one [whom you want. When I kiss him], seize him and lead him away [while you guard him] carefully.”
Jesuh cengki naw khyang he üng msingnak a jah pet: “Ka mhnama khyang cun nami ngaiha khyanga kyaki. Acun kpang u lü, mcei u lü nami cehpüi vai,” a ti.
45 So, when Judas arrived, he immediately went to Jesus and said, “My teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on his neck/cheek].
Judah naw a pha law ja Jesuha veia cit lü, “Saja aw!” ti lü a mhnam.
46 Then [the crowd] seized Jesus.
Acunüng Jesuh akceta ami kpan.
47 But one of the [disciples] who was standing nearby drew his short sword. He struck the servant of the high priest with it [to kill him, but he only] cut off his ear.
Acunüng ngdüiki üngka mat naw a kcim kphawngei lü ktaiyü ktunga m'yaa nghngakawi a ksawmpat.
48 Jesus said to them, “([It is ridiculous that] you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit!/Have you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit [RHQ]?) Day after day I was with you in the Temple [courtyard] teaching [the people] Why did you not seize me then? [But this is happening] in order that [what the prophets have written in] the Scriptures [about me] may be fulfilled {may happen}.”
Acunüng Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Khyang kse man khai hea kba likcim he la kpaihmänge jah kpawmei u lü nami lawki he aw?
Amhmüp tä temple k’um üng ning jah mthei lü nami veia ve ni se, am nami na manki. Cunsepi cangcima kümkawinak vaia kya ve,” a ti.
50 All [the disciples at once] left him and ran away.
Acunüng axüisaw he ami van naw yawk u lü ami dawngtak.
51 At that time, (a young man/I) was following Jesus. He/[I was] wearing only a linen cloth around his/my body. The crowd seized him/me.
Cawngpyang mat jihca däng sui lü Jesuh ana läk hü hngaki man hlü u se,
52 But, [as he/I pulled away from them], he/I left behind the linen cloth [in their hands], and then he/I ran away naked.
a jihca pi yawk hüt lü akawnga dawngki.
53 The men [who had seized] Jesus led him away to [the house where] the supreme priest [lived]. All of the Jewish Council were gathering [there].
Acunüng Jesuh ktaiyü ngvai säiha ima ami cehpüi. Acuia ktaiyü ktung he, axüngvai he la thum jah mtheiki he ami van ngcunki he.
54 Peter followed Jesus at a distance. He went into the courtyard [of the house] where the supreme priest [lived], and sat there with the men who guarded [the house of the supreme priest]. He was warming himself beside a fire.
Pita athuknakca üngka naw ktaiyü ngvai säiha im ngvawng mkawt cäpa Jesuh läk hngaki. Acuia xungki hea hlawnga ngaw lü mei awmei hngaki.
55 The chief priests and all the rest of the Jewish council [had already] tried to find people who would tell lies about Jesus [in order that they could convince the Roman authorities] to execute him. But they did not succeed,
Ktaiyü ktung he la kawngci he naw Jesuh ami mkhyühnak vaia ami kpuknak vai suiki he, cunsepi i pi am hmu u.
56 because, although many people spoke lies about him, they contradicted each other.
Khyang khawjah naw hleihlaknak am ami kpuk law, cunsepi ami pyenksak he naw am jah cangsak.
57 [Finally], some stood up and accused him falsely by saying,
Acunüng avang he ngdüi law u lü ami hleihlaknak am,
58 “We heard him when he said, ‘I will destroy this Temple that was built by men, and then within three days I will build another temple (without help from anyone else/that human hands will not build).’”
“Hin naw, ‘khyanga saka temple kpyeh lü, amhmüp kthum üng khyanga am saka temple ka sa be khai,’ ti se kami ngjaki ni,” ami ti.
59 But, what [some of] these men said also did not agree with [what others of them said].
Ami hleihlak ami pyen naw pi amimät am jah kcang na.
60 Then the supreme priest [himself] stood up in front of them and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] all the things that they are saying in order to accuse you?”
Ktaiyü ktung säih cun ami maa ngdüi law lü Jesuh üng, “Na katnak ami ning kpuknak he hin i am pi am na jah msangki aw?” a ti.
61 But Jesus was silent and did not reply [DOU]. Then the supreme priest [tried again]. He asked him, “Are you the Messiah? [Do you say that you are] (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
Cunsepi Jesuh am khihkheh lü i pi am pyen. Acunüng ktaiyü ktung säih naw, “Nang Mesijah, Mhnama Capaa na kyaki aw?” a ti.
62 Jesus said, “I am. Furthermore, you will see me, the one who came from heaven, [ruling] beside God, who is completely powerful. [You will also see me] coming down through the clouds in the sky!”
Jesuh naw, “Ä, khyanga Capa hlüngtaiki Mhnama kpat da ngaw lü, khankhawa khawngmei üng law se nami van naw nami hmu law khai,” a ti.
63 [In response to Jesus’ words], the supreme priest tore his outer garment. [That was their custom to show that he was shocked that Jesus had said that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “We certainly do not [RHQ] need any [more] people who will testify [against this man],
Ktaiyü ktung säih naw a suisak he jah ktek lü, “Ia saksi am hlü be ve!
64 [because] you have heard what he said against God! [He claimed to be equal with God] Therefore, what have you decided?” They all said that Jesus was guilty and deserved (to be executed/that they should kill him).
Pamhnam a pyenksenak nami ngjak, ihawkba ni nami ngaih?” ti se. Ami van naw thi khaia ngkawih ve ami ti.
65 Then some of them began spitting on Jesus. They put a blindfold on him, and then they began striking him and saying to him, “[If you are] a prophet, tell us [who hit you]!” And those who were guarding Jesus struck him with their hands.
Avang naw ami mci am msawh u lü, avang naw a mik hlawp u lü pung u lü, “U naw ning pungki ni?” ami ti. Ngängki he naw ami kut am ami kbeih.
66 While Peter was outside in the courtyard [of the supreme priest’s house], one of the girls who worked for the supreme priest came [near him].
Pita cun ktaiyü ngvai säiha m'ya, nghnumica mata peia a law üng, im ngvawnga k’keh lama ana awm hünki.
67 When she saw Peter warming himself [beside the fire], she looked at him [closely]. Then she said, “You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth [town]!”
Pita mei ana awmei se hmu üng tengki naw, “Nang pi Nazaret Jesuh am nani awm hü hmaih khawiki va ni mäih ja,” ti se,
68 But he denied it by saying, “I do not know or understand [DOU] what you are talking about!” Then he went away [from there] to the gate [of the courtyard].
Pita naw, “Am ksing nawng, na pyena mawng am ksing thei veng,” tia ngcim lü kawma lama va cit se ai khawngki.
69 [The] servant girl saw him there and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man is one of [those who have been with that man they arrested].”
Acuia nghnumica naw hmu be tü lü, acunüng ngdüiki hea veia, “Hin hin acun he üngka mat ni,” ti se,
70 But he denied it again. After a little while, one of those who were standing there said to Peter again, “[The way you speak shows that] you also are from Galilee [district]. So it is certain that you are one of those [who accompanied Jesus!]”
Pita ngcim be tüki. Acun käna pi acunüng ngdüiki he naw, “Acun he üngka na kya am ngcim theiki. Isetiakyaküng nang pi Kalile khyang ni,” ami ti.
71 But he began to exclaim, “I do not know the man that you are talking about! Because God knows that I am speaking truthfully, may he punish me [if I am lying]!”
Acunüng Pita naw, “Akcang ka pyenki ni! Akcang am ka pyen üng ta Mhnam naw na ju khmu law kawm tia ng'yün veng! Nami pyena khyang kei am ksing veng,” a ti.
72 Immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him [before], “Before the rooster crows a second time, you will deny three times [that you know me.” When he realized that he had denied it three times], he started crying.
Acun la anghngihnaka ai khawngki. Acunüng Pitaa veia Jesuh naw, “Ai nghngih vei am a khawng ham üng nang naw am ksing nawng ti lü kthum vei na ngcim khai,” a ti cun süm law be lü aktäa kyapki.
