< 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.
Gasigariti mashaka mawili pamberi pa kusoka mumsambu gwa Pasaka na mabumunda gawalekera ndiri simika. Watambika wakulu wa numba ya Mlungu na wafunda wa malagaliru waweriti wankusakula njira ya kumbata Yesu wamlagi.
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!”
Su watakula, “Tuleki kumbata mumsambu gwa Pasaka, toziya wantu hawatendi ndewu.”
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.
Yesu kaweriti Betaniya mnumba mwa Simoni mngumbula. Pawaweriti mmeza wankuliya shiboga, mawu yumu yakaweriti na supa ya lipaki lya kununkira lya beyi nkulu kiza. Kaimega supa ayi na kamumiminira Yesu lipaki mumtuwi.
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]
Wantu wamu waweriti panu wakalaliti, walitakuliziana, “Kwa shishi kwananga lipaki linunkira ali?
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.
Gangaweziti kuwuza kwa mpiya za shibena mgongu sha shinja shimu, na kuwayupa wahushu!” Wamkalipira mawu ayu.
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]
Kumbiti Yesu kawagambira, “Mumleki, kwa shishi kumgaziya? Kantendera shintu shiherepa.
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].
Hamuweri na wahushu mashaka goseri, hamuwezi kuwatanga shipindi shoseri shamfira. Kumbiti neni hapeni nweri na mwenga mashaka goseri.
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.
Yomberi katenda ntambu yakaweziti, kayitilira nshimba yangu lipaki linunkira kuyitandira kwa kusira.
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.”
Nukugambirani nakaka, poseri muisi shisoweru shiwagira pashibwerwa, shitwatira ashi shakatenditi hashikandwi ntambu ya kulihola.”
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]
Shakapanu Yuda Isikariyoti, yumu gwa walii lilongu na wawili, kagenditi kwa watambika wakulu su kamgalambuki Yesu.
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).
Watambika wa numba ya Mlungu pawapikaniriti shisoweru ashi, wasekelera, wamlagiliti kumpanana mpiya. Su, Yuda kanja kusakula lupenyu lwa kamgalambukira kwa Watambika wakulu.
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]?”
Lishaka lya kwanja lya Msambu gwa Mabumunda gawalekera ndiri simika, shipindi sheni mwana kondolu gwa pasaka pakalikitulwa, wafundwa wakuwi wamkosiyiti, “Gufira tukutandiri koshi shiboga sha Pasaka?”
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.
Su Yesu kawalagalira wawili wa wafundwa wakuwi pakawagambira, “Mgendi mlushi, na amu hamliwoni na mpalu yumu yakalitwika vulu ya mashi. Mmufati
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]’
mpaka mnumba yanakingiri, mkamgambiri mweni kaya, ‘Mfunda kalonga sha koshi shumba sheni handiyi Pasaka pamuhera na wafundwa wangu?’
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.”
Yomberi hakawalonguzii shumba shikulu mligolofa amu vyoseri wavitandira kala, mtutandiri amu.”
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].
Wafundwa wawuka, wagenda mlushi, wawona kila shintu weri ntambu yakawagambiriti Yesu. Su watandira shiboga sha pasaka.
17 When it was evening, Jesus arrived [at that house] with the twelve [disciples].
Payiweriti pamii, Yesu kiziti pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi lilongu na wawili.
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]!”
Pawaweriti pameza wankuliya, Yesu katakuliti, “Nakaka nukugambirani, yumu gwenu yakaliya pamuhera naneni, Hakang'alambuki.”
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]”
Panu wafundwa wakuwi wanja kulihola, yumu yumu wamkosiyiti, “Hashi, neni?”
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.
Yesu kawagambira, “Yumu gwenu mwenga lilongu na wawili, yakatota libumunda pamuhera naneni mubakuli.
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!”
Nakaka Mwana gwa muntu hakahowi handa malembu Mananagala ntambu yagatakuliti kwakuwi, kumbiti shondi kwakuwi muntu ulii yakamgalambuka Mwana gwa muntu! Hayiweri kwa muntu ulii handa mekayiwuki ndiri!”
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].”
Pawaweriti wankuliya, Yesu katoliti libumunda, kalonga mayagashii Mlungu, kalimega na kawapanana wafundwa wakuwi pakalonga, “Mtoli mlii, ayi ndo nshimba ya neni.”
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,
Shakapanu katola lutekeru lwa divayi, kalonga mayagashii Mlungu, kawayupa, woseri walanda mulutekeru alu.
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.
Kawagambira, “Agu ndo mwazi gwangu gwagulawa kwajili ya wantu wavuwa. Mwazi gwangu gwagulanguziya lipatanu lya Mlungu na wantu.
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.”
Nakaka nukugambirani, hapeni nandi kayi divayi mpaka lishaka lilii panfira kuyilanda divayi yasyayi Muufalumi wa Mlungu.”
26 After they sang a hymn, they went out toward Olive [Tree] Hill.
Shakapanu wimba lwimbu, wawuka, wagenda kulugongu lwa Mizeyituni.
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.
Yesu kankuwagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Mwawoseri hamtugi na kundeka, toziya Malembu Mananagala galonga, ‘Mlungu hakamlagi mlolera gwa kondolu, Na wakondolu hawalimwagi.’
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].”
Kumbiti panzyuka kala, hanuwalongolerani Galilaya kulii!”
29 Then Peter said to him, “Perhaps all the [other disciples] will leave you, but not I! I will not [leave you]!”
Peteru kamgambira, “Handa woseri hawakuleki, neni hanukulemi ndiri!”
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!”
Yesu kamgambira Peteru, “Nakaka nukugambira, pashiru panu, pamberi njogolu keniwiki mala mbili, hagunemi mala ntatu.”
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.
Kumbiti Peteru kalilapira, “Ata payiwera nfuwi pamuhera na gwenga, hanukulemi ndiri.” Wafundwa woseri viraa watakula ntambu ira ayi.
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!”
Su, wasoka mushiwunga shawashishemiti Getisemani. Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Mlivagi panu Shipindi neni nankumluwa Mlungu.”
33 Then he took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed, and he said to them,
Shakapanu kawatola Peteru na Yakobu na Yohani, kanja kulishera nentu na kushashatika.
34 “I [SYN] am very sorrowful. [It is as if] I were about to die. [You men] remain here and stay awake!”
Kawagambira, “Nhinginika nentu, ata sambira howa. Mkali panu na mweri masu.”
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].
Kagenda kulongolu shididini, kasuntumala makukama, kamluwa Mlungu, handa payiwezekana, shimpiti shipindi ashi sha ndabiku.
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!”
Kalonga, “Tati!, Tati gwaneni, kwa gwenga vitwatira yoseri viwezikana. Gumpusiliri lutekeru lwa ndabiku alu, kumbiti hayiweri handa ntambu yanfira neni, ira ntambu yagufira gwenga.”
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]”
Shakapanu kawuya kwa Wafundwa walii watatu, kawoniti wagonja. Su kamkosiya Peteru, “Simoni, hashi gugonja? Guwezandiri kulikala masu ata lisaa limu?”
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!”
Shakapanu kawagambira, “Mkali masu na mumluwi Mlungu su namwingira mukujerwa. Rohu ifira, kumbiti nshimba yahera likakala.”
39 Then he went away again and prayed again what he prayed before.
Kagenda kumuluwa Mlungu kayi pakawuyira visoweru viraa vilii.
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].
Shakapanu kawuya kayi kwa wafundwa walii kawawoniti wagonja. Masu gawu gaweriti gana mbota. Wavimana ndiri sha kumwankula.
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.
Pakawiziriti mala ya tatu kawagambiriti, “Mwankali mwankugonja na kwoyera? Vinu itosha! Saa isoka! Muloli, Mwana gwa muntu wankumupa kwa wantu wana vidoda.
42 [So] get up! Let’s go [toward him] Look! Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
Mwimuki, tugendeni zetu. Mloli, ulii yakafira kung'alambuka kapakwegera.”
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.
Yesu Pakaweriti kankali kankutakula, Yuda, yumu gwa wafundwa lilongu na wawili, kiza pamuhera na lipinga lya wantu wana mapanga na vindonga. Wantu awa waweriti walagalilwiti na watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru na wazewi.
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.”
Yuda mgalambuka kaweriti kawalanguziya lilanguliru, “ulii hanumnoneri ndo mweni, mumbati na kumjega wakamloleri.”
45 So, when Judas arrived, he immediately went to Jesus and said, “My teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on his neck/cheek].
Yuda pakasokiti, kamgenderiti Yesu, kamgambira, “Mfunda.” Shakapanu kamnonera.
46 Then [the crowd] seized Jesus.
Wantu walii wambata Yesu, na kumtawa.
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.
Yumu gwa walia wawaweriti wagoloka pamuhera na Yesu, kasolomola upanga wakuwi, kamdumula likutu ntumintumi gwa Mtambika mkulu.
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}.”
Yesu kawagambira, “Vimwiza na mapanga na vindonga kumbata gambira neni na shimpegu?
Kila lishaka nweriti pamuhera na mwenga panfunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, wala mumbata ndiri. Kumbiti vinu Malembu Mananagala ga kala.”
50 All [the disciples at once] left him and ran away.
Panu wantumintumi woseri wamleka, watira.
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.
Kweniti na muntemba yumu yakaweriti kavala lishuka kaweriti kankumfata Yesu. Nawomberi wajeriti kumbata,
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.
kumbiti yomberi kayirekiziya shuka yakuwi, katuga shivula hera.
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].
Su wamjega Yesu kwa mtambika mkulu peni Watambika wakulu woseri na wazewi na wafunda wa malagaliru waweriti waliwona.
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.
Peteru kamfatiti Yesu kwa kutali, kingira muluwaga lwa numba ya mtambika mkulu, kalivaga pamuhera na walolera milyangu pakotera motu.
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,
Watambika wakulu wa shiyotera motu sha Wayawudi woseri wasakula upitawu wa kumsitaki Yesu wapati kumlaga, kumbiti wapata ndiri.
56 because, although many people spoke lies about him, they contradicted each other.
Wantu wavuwa walaviyiti upitawu wa kupaya kwa Yesu, kumbiti upitawu wawu ujimilirana ndiri.
57 [Finally], some stood up and accused him falsely by saying,
Shakapanu wamonga wagolokiti, walaviya upitawu wa kupaya pawatakula,
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).’”
“Tumpikiniriti muntu ayu pakatakula hanhalibisiyi numba nkulu ya Mlungu yawanyawiti kwa mawoku, na kwa mashaka matatu hanuinyawi imonga yawainyawa ndiri kwa mawoku.”
59 But, what [some of] these men said also did not agree with [what others of them said].
Kumbiti ata hangu, upitawu wawu ujumilirana ndiri.
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?”
Su, mtambika mkulu kagoloka pakati pawu, kamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, gwankula ndiri shisoweru? Wantu awa gawawoniti kwa gwenga?”
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)?”
Kumbiti yomberi kalikala jii katakula ndiri ata shisoweru shimu. Mtambika mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu kamkosiya kayi, “Hashi, gwenga ndo Kristu, Mwana gwa Mlungu yawamkwisa?”
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!”
Yesu kankula, “Neni ndo mweni. Kayi hamumoni neni Mwana gwa muntu pakalivaga uwega wa kumliwu wa Mtuwa yakawera na makakala, pakiza mumawundi ga kumpindi.”
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],
Panu Mtambika mkulu kapapula lihabiti lyakuwi, kalonga, “Tufira ndiri kayi wakapitawu wamonga?
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).
Mpikanira kankumwigilanga Mlungu! Mwenga mwona hashi?” Woseri wamtoza, kafiruwa kuhowa.
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.
Su, wamu wawu wanja kumtemera mata, wamgibikira sheni, wamkoma na kumgambira. “Gutungi gaa yakakukomiti!” Walolera mlyangu wamtola, wamwakula.
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].
Peteru pakaweriti kankali paluwaga, mdala yumu gwa vinyakalika gwa Mtambika Mkulu kiziti.
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]!”
Pakamwoniti Peteru kankuyotera motu, kamloliti, kamgambira. “Viraa gwenga guweriti pamuhera na Yesu Mnazareti.”
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].
Peteru kalema, “Nummana ndiri, wala nuvimana ndiri gagutakula!” Shakapanu Peteru kawuka, kagenda kunja kuwuwa. Panu njogolu kawika.
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].”
Shinyankalika mdala ulii pakamwoniti kayi Peteru, kanja kayi kuwagambira wantu wawaweriti wagoloka palii, “muntu ayu yumu gwawu.”
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!]”
Peteru kalema kayi. Shakapanu katepu, wantu waweriti wagoloka palii wamgambira Peteru. “Nakaka gwenga gwa yumu gwawu, mana gwenga gwa Mgalilaya.”
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]!”
Kumbiti Peteru kanja kulirapa, pakatakula, “Neni nummana ndiri muntu ulii yamtakula visoweru vyakuwi.”
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.
Palaa palii njogolu kawika mala ya pili. Su Peteru kalihola ntambu Yesu pakaweriti pakamgambira, “pamberi pa njogolu keniwiki mala ya pili, hagunemi mala ntatu.” Peteru kalira.
