Matthew 26
1 When Jesus had finished [saying] all those things, he said to [us] disciples,
kombo Yeecu dim tok ke ti towo kange ciyeri co ca yii bei tomangeceu,
2 “You know that two days from now [we will celebrate] the Passover [festival]. [At that time] I, the one who came from heaven, will be handed over to {they will put me, the one who came from heaven, into the hands of} those who will nail me to a cross.”
kon nyomom kum kume yob na duklume yabkako na lami, laci an ne ken bibweni na ci kulken co
3 At the same time the chief priests and the Jewish elders gathered in the home of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas.
lanob wabeko durko kange, nubo dur nubero cin mwerkangi karak nii wabero durko coti kikayafa.
4 [There] they plotted how they could seize Jesus in some deceitful way so that they could have him executed.
cin tokkangum nure ci tam Yeecu ti yurangum yurange na ci tallum co.
5 But they said, “[We must] not [do it] during the [Passover] festival, because [if we do it then], the people might riot.”
la ci ti tokiki kebo ki duklumeu kati kwalkanke kweni tiber niber,
6 While Jesus [and we] were in Bethany [village] in the home of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed of] leprosy,
kamob Yeecu ki no betanya lob caminu waleu
7 a woman came to him. She [was carrying] a stone jar [containing] very expensive perfume. [To show how much she appreciated] Jesus, she poured the perfume on his head as he was eating.
dong dong kambo co yim cunga kobiomero ci cam. cori tiyeri, co nawiye kange dou kiwer nuwanger wo kikiyemereu cor Yeecu nin ti dorcer
8 When [we] disciples saw that, [some of us] were angry. [One of us] said, “(It is terrible that this perfume was wasted!/Why was this perfume wasted?) [RHQ]
kambo bibei tomange cru to wo nyeri nercer. ron kaya, kim yebwi a yakcang wo ti nye?
9 [We] could have sold it and gotten a lot of money for it! Then the money could have been given {[we] could have given the money} to poor people.”
woro tin miyem ki kiyemero ducce na neken nob bune bou
10 Jesus knew [what we were saying. So he] said to us, “(You should not be bothering this woman!/Why are you bothering this woman?) [RHQ] She has done a beautiful thing to me.
la Yeecu nyomom wuro lam yii ci, ye bwi ka ne nawiye wo dotange tinye? wo con mamen dikero yor yore
11 [Keep in mind that] you will always have poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not always be with you, [so it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me!]
kom kir-kir kange nob bunebo, la maka fiya, yeti kir-kir.
12 When she poured this perfume on my body, [it was as if she knew that I am going to die soon. And it is as if she] has anointed my body for being buried.
na wo co corti nuwangko wo bwimi yeu, co mamna furka miko ce.
13 I will tell you this: Wherever this good message [about me] is preached {people preach this good message about me} throughout the world, those who preach it will tell what this woman has done, [and as a result] people will [always] remember her.”
bi com ma yii komti na fe atok fulen ke do wo tiye fo dor bitinero wo dike nawiye wo mane an toki ken na kwa ki co.
14 Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), [even though he was] one of [us] twelve [disciples], went to the chief priests.
la win mor kwob cilom bo yobenin coti Yuhuda kar yoti yeu yaken liya wabe nin.
15 He asked them, “If I enable you to seize [Jesus], how much [money] are you willing to give me?” They [agreed to give him] 30 silver coins. So they counted out the coins and [gave them] to him.
con toki, yemo cuiti mwa neye tiye naneken niwo kangmuek di? cin cuwa cinen mwin do kwini ta'ar.
16 From that time Judas watched for an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus].
la nyeu con ta do ka nureko wo ca neken coti kang cikeu,
17 On the first day [of the week-long festival] (when [we Jews ate] bread which had no yeast in it/of Unleavened Bread), [we] disciples went to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare [the meal for] the Passover [celebration] so that [we can] eat [it with] you?”
la kume kaba wo duklume yabkako neu bi bei tomange ceu bou cinen, la ci me co, fe mo cuiti nyo yulangum na mo camcari durlume yabkaro we?
18 [In reply], he [gave instructions to two disciples about where they should go. He] said [to them], “Go into [the city] to a man [with whom I have previously arranged this]. Tell him that the teacher says, ‘The time [MTY] [that I told you about] is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover [meal] with my disciples at your house, [and I have sent these two to prepare the meal].’”
co yii ci kom durlume cinan lor, kan fiya nii kange, ko yii co ni do mor ka toknyo kangkene takako dom, maca cari durlumer yabkaro lomo bibei tomangemiu.
19 So the [two] disciples did as Jesus told them. They [went and] prepared the Passover [meal in that man’s house].
bibei tomange ceu mani kanbo co yii ciyeu, ci yuelagum cari duklume yabkaro.
20 When it was evening, Jesus was eating the meal with [us] twelve disciples.
la ki mee con yii kange bibei tomange ceu kweb cilombo yobeu na ci can cari to.
21 While we were eating, he said [to us], “Listen carefully to this: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
kanbo ci ca cari to tiyeri, con yici, bicom ma yii komti win more kume an miyem ye
22 [We] were very sad. We began to say to him, one after the other, “Lord, (it is surely not I!/I’m not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
cin ma fir neorer, cinter meka ceko kiwinti min nyumom ke bomo na teluwe?
23 He replied, “The one who will enable my enemies to seize me is one of you who is dipping bread [MTY] into [the sauce in] the dish along with me.
la co yii ci, wuro dor kangti kange mo mor kwele wineu co nii a miye yetiye
24 [It is certain that] I, the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been written {[the prophets] have written} about me. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who enables [my enemies] to seize me! It would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
bibwe nifire an u kanbo mulangi dorcereu la kwanco nii kercer ci miye bibwe nii ye tin yor ni conin na cibou co bo di.
25 Then Judas, the one who was going to betray him, said, “Teacher, (surely it is not I!/I’m not the one, am I?) [RHQ]” Jesus replied, “Yes, you are the one.”
Yahuda wo a miye co tiyeu me co, ma nii merangka? la con yi co, mon tokum ki bwimi.
26 While we were eating, Jesus took [a small loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to [us] disciples, and said, “Take this [bread and] eat [it]. [It represents] my body.”
kanbo cica carito tiyeri, Yeecu tu carito yoten bibwiyer an kabkangum. con ne bibei tomange ceu, con tu cam wuro bwimi,
27 Later he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to us, saying, “Drink some [of the wine in this cup], all of you.
con tu kwelmwenge, con ma buka kangek co ca nee ciye, yii ci ko nom gwam kume
28 [The wine in] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body. With] my blood I [will sign] the new agreement [that God is making] to forgive the sins of many [people].
won bwiyalemi wo noro ceu wo corena tab ka bwiran kerer nubo kila-kila
29 Note this carefully: I will not drink wine in this way any more until the time when I drink it with you with a new [meaning. That will happen] when my Father [enables me to begin] to rule as king.”
la ma yii komti, mani ma no mwem inabim bo wo ti tak mano kange okm fuije mor liyare Teemi.
30 After we sang a hymn, we started out towards Olive [Tree] Hill.
la ci okm nuweu, co ci cu bang jaitune
31 [On the way], Jesus told us, “This night all of you will desert me because of [what will happen to] me! [This is certain to happen] because [these words that God said] are written [in the Scriptures: ] ‘I will [cause] the shepherd to be killed, and [all] the sheep will be scattered {scatter}.’
la Yeecu yii ci, gwam kume kan kottangi ker mir ki kume wo, wori mulangum mulange. man tumom nii to tiyeu, kwame ten do an yalam
32 But after I have [died and] become alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
la bwiko wo ma kwenunmeri, man yaken ten kumen Galili.
33 Peter replied, “Perhaps all [the other disciples] will desert you [when they see what happens to you], but I [certainly] will never [leave you]!”
Bitru yii co bwentano tangnim bo anyarangum ker mwer di, mi mani ma yarti
34 Jesus replied to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
Yeecu yii co bicom ma yinenti mor kume wo bicake na manb kiyangeri mon yi moki mo nyom yebo kirito ta'ar
35 Peter said to him, “Even if they kill me [while I am defending you], I will never say that I do not know you!” All [the rest of us] disciples also said the same [thing].
Bitru yii co, bwentano ma bweya kange mori, mani ma yiti mi ma nyomnenbo la tangunim bi bei tomange cembo tokti nyo ken
36 Then Jesus went with us to a place that is called {that people call} Gethsemane. There he said to [most of] us, “Stay here while I go over there and pray.”
co Yeecu yaken kange ci fiye wo co tike Getca maniyeu laco yii bi bei tomangeceu ka yim fo miki yankab ma koub dilo
37 He took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed.
con tu Bitru kange bibeyo lo Jabadi yobeu, kange co, con ter bulankako kange tutum nerem
38 Then he said to them, “I [SYN] am very sorrowful, so much so that I [feel as if I were] about to die! Remain here and stay awake with me!”
la co yii ci, dumemi ki no mor bulanka wo a lamti ki mo bwareu ka yim for koma corka kange mo
39 After going a little further, he threw himself face down [on the ground]. He prayed, “My Father, if it is possible [MTY], do not make me have to endure the suffering [that is coming] now. But do not do as I want. Instead, do as you want!”
con kutaken tenkab biduwar la con yarken ki tikob ceb. laco kob dilo con toki, mo Teemi na an mamdi, kweie wo a cum ye, kebo mi a bwang tentiye la an bwanten dike mo cuiyeu.
40 Then he returned to the [three] disciples and saw that they were sleeping. He [woke] Peter and said to him, “(I am disappointed that you [men fell asleep and] were not able to stay awake with me for just a short time!/Why were you men not able to stay awake with me for just one hour?) [RHQ]
con yila bibei tomang ce nin co fiya ci dam dum lacon yii Bitru mo maka cor ti kange mo bwen na nang kenoko wina?
41 You must keep alert and pray so that you can resist when you are tempted {something tempts you}. You want [to do what I tell you], but you [SYN] are not strong enough [to actually do it].”
kom cori kom kwob dilo kati ko yarken cuwaka, yuwa tangbe kwama kom ciya, la bwiyo kwambo
42 He went away a second time. He prayed, “My Father, if it is necessary for me to suffer [LIT], may what you want happen!”
coca yila yobece co kob dilo, con tok mo Teemi nona kwele wo cunin man nocori, be dike mo cuiti ye a mani
43 When he returned to the [three disciples], he saw that they were asleep [again]. They could not keep their eyes open [IDM].
con yilau ten co fiya ci da dumti wori nuwe ciyeu tu'u kabo
44 So he left them and went away again. He prayed the third time, saying the same thing [that he had prayed before].
con dubangum ci tak nako ta'areu, co kob dilo ti co tok tika dike kitanca tokeu
45 Then he returned to us disciples. He [woke] us [up and] said to us, “(I am disappointed that you are still sleeping and resting!/Why are you still sleeping and resting?) [RHQ] [Look] Someone is about to enable sinful [men] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!
Yeecu yila bi bei tomangkace nin, la con yii ci, ko damdum duwal komti fuobi? koto kwama con dadom, la cin neken bi bwe nifire kange nob bwiran ker.
46 Get up! Let’s go [to meet them] Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
ko kwen bi ya to niwo a miye yetiyeu won lambi dom
47 While [Jesus] was still speaking, Judas [arrived. Even though he was] one of [us] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A large crowd carrying swords and clubs was with him. They had been sent by the chief priests and elders {the chief priests and [Jewish] elders had sent them}.
kambo co tok keretiyeu, yafuda win mor kwob cilom bo yobeu kange nubo dur nubero. cin bou ki kulenti kange kulki
48 Judas had [previously] arranged to give them a signal, saying, “The man whom I will kiss is the one [you want]. Seize him!”
na weu, nii wo amiye Yeecu tiyeu tiibum ci yii ci nii wo ma teiceri co, ko tam co
49 He immediately went to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on the neck/cheek].
na con bou Yeecu nin con toki, yarume nii merangka laco tei bwiciu
50 Jesus replied, “Friend, is it [to kiss me] that you are here?” (OR, “Do what you have come for!”) Then [the men who came with Judas] stepped forward and seized Jesus.
Yeecu yii co, farmi, ma dike mo bo makau, co ci bouwe ciyoti kanko dor Yeecu de laci tamco.
51 Suddenly, one of the men who was with Jesus pulled his sword out [of its sheath]. He struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him], [but only] cut off his ear.
la kange, kange Yeecu ter kan ceko coku kulendo cuwalum tu'u canga nii wabe durko,
52 Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back in its sheath! All those who try to kill others with a sword will themselves be killed with a sword!
co Yeecu yii ce dokken kulen mwero fiye ce [loco] nubo wo tu kulene di a dwiya kin kulen
53 Do you think that [RHQ] if I asked my Father, he would not immediately send more than (twelve armies of/72,000) angels to help me?
mo kwatiri mani maco tee mi ti ya, la can tommer dike cum wenange kwob cilombo yobeu wo nob tomangeb cebo wucakkeu?
54 [But if I did that, what the prophets] have written in the Scriptures [about what will happen to the Messiah] would not be fulfilled {happen} [RHQ].”
la a ma nyi na bifumero na dim na wo tam nar ma nyeu?
55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd [that was seizing him], “(It is ridiculous that you have 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 sat in the Temple [courtyard], teaching [the people]. Why did you not arrest me [then]?
la Yeecu yii nubo dim wiyeu, ka bou kin kulen kange kulki bou ko ta ye na nii kwiye? mati yii ma meranti kir-kir kur waber la ka ta yebo.
56 But all this is happening to fulfill what the prophets [have written in] the Scriptures [about me].” Then all of us disciples deserted Jesus and ran away.
wo gwam ma nyo na dike nob dukumero na dimla bi bei tomange ceu gwam dubom co cuakkanyi cu.
57 The men who had seized Jesus took him [to the house where] Caiaphas, the high priest, [lived]. The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the [Jewish] elders had already gathered [there].
nubo buro ta co Yeecu yaken ki co kayafa nin nii wabe durko, fiye nob muiangkabo kange nubo durko mwerkangum wari yeu
58 Peter followed [Jesus] at a distance. He came to the high priest’s courtyard. He entered [the courtyard] and sat down with the guards to see what would happen.
la Bitru bwang cinen tenti ku tan kange karak nii wabere durko con do ken mor co yii na co to dike a matiye
59 The chief priests and the rest of the [Jewish] Council were trying to find people who would tell lies about Jesus so that they could [convince the Roman authorities to] execute him.
na weu laya wabeu kange nob tikali cebo ki to warke cuerker dor Yeecu na ci tualum co.
60 But even though many people spoke lies about him, they did not find anyone [who said anything that was useful]. Finally two men came forward
la fiya bo win wo. na duwaleu nob warker cwerkero kila bou kab.
61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy God’s Temple and to rebuild it within three days.’”
la ciki nii wo ki canwerum kur wabe kwamaro na co muti mor kume ta'ar.
62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] these things that they are saying [to accuse] you?”
nii wabe kwen titiye lanme, co, mo man ki diker kar kaka? warke wini ci war ti dor mwere
63 But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I command you to tell us [the truth], knowing that the all-powerful God [is listening to you]: Are you the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
la Yeecu kumom. nii wabe durko yii co mo yii nen ti ki nyal kange kwama wo ki dumeu, yii kenon mo kritti bi bwe kwama
64 Jesus replied, “Yes, [it is as] you say. But I will also say this to all of you: Some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting beside [MTY] Almighty [God], and ruling. You will also see me coming on the clouds [from] heaven!”
Yeecu karcenen, mon to kum ki ko kab mon to bi bwenii yim kang ko catiyer bikwanrd, la yiranti dor bi loro dii kwama.
65 Then the high priest tore his outer garment. [That was the custom to show that he was shocked to hear Jesus say that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “This man has insulted God! He claims to be equal with God! (We certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against this man]!/Why should we seek any more people who will testify [against this man]?) [RHQ] You heard what he said!
la nii wabe durko worbangum belleceu, ki tok kero bwir, ye bwi bou do nob warker ti dualla? koto na wo kom nuwam kero bwirko.
66 What have you decided?” [The Jewish leaders] replied, “[According to our laws], he [is guilty and] deserves to be executed!”
ye ko kwatiye? cin ciya ciki con daten buar
67 Then [some of them] spat in his face. [Others] struck him with their fists. Others, [after they blindfolded him], slapped him
ci tuom cinen ti bi tom bo tikob, yila cibukten co. ci kwabanco ki kani ceyeu.
68 and said, “[Since you claim that] [IRO] [you are] the Messiah, tell us who hit you!”
la ciki, yii bo ker dukumer mo kiritti. we wo kwa nene?
69 Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came up to him [and looked at him]. She said, “You also were with Jesus, [that man] from Galilee [district]!”
la Bitru yim kale mor karake, la bubya kange canga bou cinen yii mo ki no kange Yeecu wo Galiliu”
70 But while everyone there was listening, he denied it. He said, “I do not know what you are talking about!”
la Bitru kanangum kabum ciyem gwam tokti ki, ma nyombo dike motokker ti dorce reu.
71 Then he went out to the gateway of the courtyard. Another servant girl saw him and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man was with Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
kanbo co cerken nyi lo ko kaleri, kange bubya toco la yii nubo wiyeu, nii wo ken kino kange Yeecu bunajare.
72 But [Peter] again denied it. He said, “May God punish me [if I am lying]! I [tell you], I do not even know that man!”
yila con kanangum ten kange weri, ma nyom bo nii co
73 After a little while, one of the people who were standing there approached Peter and said to him, “It is certain that you are one of those [who were with that man]. We can tell from your accent that you [are from Galilee.”]
kakten nyo bi budar di nubo wo tirangum wiyeu bou yii Bitru, bicom mon wi more ciye ken wori kero mo tok tiyeu nugum nen.
74 Then Peter began to proclaim loudly that God should curse him [if he was lying]. He asked God in heaven to witness [that he was telling the truth] and said, “I do not know that man!” Immediately a rooster crowed.
la con yoten kan cilka kange weri manyombo nii co, ladanjang bi cukeu mob kiya ngeu,
75 Then Peter remembered the words that Jesus had spoken [to him], “Before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me.” And Peter went [out of the courtyard], crying because he was very sad [about what he had done].
Bitru kwabi ki kero Yeecu tokeu. bicake na mob kiyangeu mwan kanang ye kiro ta'ar. la con cerken kale cociwiye kefir neerer.
