Matthew 27
1 Now when morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him to death.
Mmamawa, akulu a ansembe onse ndi akuluakulu anavomerezana kuti aphe Yesu.
2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate the governor.
Anamumanga, napita naye kukamupereka kwa bwanamkubwa Pilato.
3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he repented and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Yudasi, amene anamupereka Iye, ataona kuti Yesu waweruzidwa kuti akaphedwe, anatsutsika mu mtima mwake nakabweza ndalama zamasiliva makumi atatu zija kwa akulu a ansembe ndi kwa akuluakulu.
4 and said, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to that yourself.”
Iye anati, “Ndachimwa pakuti ndapereka munthu wosalakwa.” Iwo anayankha nati, “Ife tilibe nazo kanthu izo ndi zako.”
5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went out and hanged himself.
Pamenepo Yudasi anaponya ndalamazo mʼNyumba ya Mulungu nachoka. Kenaka anapita nakadzimangirira.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put this into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.”
Akulu a ansembe anatola ndalamazo nati, “Sikololedwa ndi lamulo kuti ndalamazi tiziyike mosungira chuma cha Mulungu, popeza ndi ndalama za magazi.”
7 They discussed the matter together and with the money bought the potter's field in which to bury strangers.
Choncho anagwirizana kuti ndalamazo azigwiritse ntchito pogulira munda wa wowumba mbiya kuti ukhale manda alendo.
8 For this reason that field has been called, “The Field of Blood” to this day.
Ndi chifukwa chake umatchedwa munda wamagazi mpaka lero lino.
9 Then that which had been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,
Pamenepo zimene anayankhula mneneri Yeremiya zinakwaniritsidwa kuti, “Anatenga ndalama zamasiliva makumi atatu mtengo umene anamuyikira Iye anthu a Israeli.
10 and they gave it for the potter's field, as the Lord had directed me.”
Ndipo anazigwiritsa ntchito kugula munda wa wowumba mbiya monga mmene Ambuye anandilamulira ine.”
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You say so.”
Pa nthawi yomweyo Yesu anayimirira pamaso pa bwanamkubwa ndipo bwanamkubwayo anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi ndiwe Mfumu ya Ayuda?” Koma Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mwanena ndinu.”
12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Pamene akulu a ansembe ndi akuluakulu ankamuneneza, sanayankhe kanthu.
13 Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear all the charges against you?”
Kenaka Pilato anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi sukumva zinthu zimene akukunenerazi?”
14 But he did not answer even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
Koma Yesu sanayankhe ngakhale mawu amodzi mpaka bwanamkubwa anadabwa kwambiri.
15 Now at the feast it was the custom of the governor to release one prisoner chosen by the crowd.
Pa nthawiyi chinali chizolowezi cha bwanamkubwa kuti pachikondwerero cha Paska amamasula wamʼndende wosankhidwa ndi anthu.
16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
Pa nthawiyo anali ndi wamʼndende woyipa kwambiri dzina lake Baraba.
17 So when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Who do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
Gulu la anthu litasonkhana, Pilato anawafunsa kuti, “Ndi ndani amene mufuna kuti ndikumasulireni; Baraba kapena Yesu wotchedwa Khristu?”
18 He knew that they had handed Jesus over to him because of envy.
Pakuti anadziwa kuti anamupereka Yesu chifukwa cha kaduka.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him and said, “Have nothing to do with that innocent man. For I have suffered much today because of a dream I had about him.”
Pamene Pilato anakhala pa mpando woweruza, mkazi wake anamutumizira uthenga uwu, “Musachite kanthu ndi munthuyo, ndi wosalakwa pakuti ndavutika kwambiri lero mʼmaloto chifukwa cha munthuyo.”
20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas, and have Jesus killed.
Koma akulu a ansembe ndi akuluakulu ananyengerera gulu la anthu kuti apemphe Baraba ndi kuti Yesu aphedwe.
21 The governor asked them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas.”
Bwanamkubwayo anafunsa kuti, “Ndi ndani mwa awiriwa amene mufuna ine ndikumasulireni?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Baraba.”
22 Pilate said to them, “What should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all answered, “Crucify him.”
Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Nanga ndichite chiyani ndi Yesu wotchedwa Khristu?” Onse anayankha kuti “Mpachikeni!”
23 Then he said, “Why, what crime has he done?” But they cried out even louder, “Crucify him.”
Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani? Wachita choyipa chotani?” Koma anachita phokoso nafuwula kwambiri kuti, “Mpachikeni!”
24 So when Pilate saw that he could not do anything, but instead a riot was starting, he took water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of the blood of this innocent man. See to it yourselves.”
Pilato ataona kuti samaphulapo kanthu, koma mʼmalo mwake chiwawa chimayambika, anatenga madzi nasamba mʼmanja mwake pamaso pa gulu la anthu. Iye anati “Ine ndilibe chifukwa ndi magazi a munthu uyu, ndipo uwu ndi udindo wanu!”
25 All the people said, “May his blood be on us and our children.”
Anthu onse anayankha nati, “Magazi ake akhale pa ife ndi pa ana athu!”
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but he scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.
Pamenepo anawamasulira Baraba koma analamula kuti Yesu akakwapulidwe, ndipo anamupereka kuti akapachikidwe.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the government headquarters and gathered the whole company of soldiers.
Pamenepo asilikali abwanamkubwayo anamutenga nalowa naye ku bwalo la milandu ndipo anasonkhanitsa gulu lonse la asilikali namuzungulira Iye.
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
Anamuvula malaya ake namuveka Iye malaya ofiira aufumu.
29 They made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and placed a staff in his right hand. They knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
Ndipo kenaka analuka chipewa chaminga nachiyika pa mutu pake. Anamugwiritsa ndodo mʼdzanja lake lamanja nagwada pamaso pake namuchitira chipongwe nati, “Tikulonjereni Mfumu ya Ayuda.”
30 They spat on him, and they took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
Anamuthira malovu ndipo anatenga ndodo namumenya nayo pa mutu mobwerezabwereza.
31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Atamaliza kumuchitira chipongwe, anamuvula malaya aja namuveka malaya ake aja napita naye kokamupachika.
32 As they came out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to go with them so that he might carry his cross.
Pamene gululi linkatuluka ndi Yesu, anakumana ndi munthu wochokera ku Kurene dzina lake Simoni ndipo anamuwumiriza kunyamula mtanda.
33 They came to a place called Golgotha, which means “The Place of a Skull.”
Anafika ku malo wotchedwa Gologota amene atanthauza kuti malo a bade la mutu.
34 They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he would not drink.
Pamenepo anamupatsa vinyo wosakaniza ndi ndulu kuti amwe; koma atalawa anakana kumwa.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his garments by casting lots,
Atamupachika Iye, anagawana zovala zake pochita maere.
36 and they sat and kept guard over him.
Ndipo anakhala pansi namulonda Iye.
37 Above his head they put the charge against him, which read “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
Pamwamba pa mutu wake analembapo mawu osonyeza mlandu wake akuti, “uyu ndi yesu, mfumu ya ayuda.”
38 Two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right of him and one on the left.
Achifwamba awiri anapachikidwa pamodzi ndi Iye, mmodzi kudzanja lamanja wina kudzanja lamanzere.
39 Those who passed by insulted him, shaking their heads
Ndipo amene amadutsa anamunenera mawu a chipongwe, akupukusa mitu yawo.
40 and saying, “You who were going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
Ndipo anati, “Iwe amene ungapasule Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kuyimanga masiku atatu, dzipulumutse wekha! Tsika pa mtandapo ngati ndiwe Mwana wa Mulungu!”
41 In the same way the chief priests were mocking him, along with the scribes and elders, and said,
Chimodzimodzinso akulu a ansembe, aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi akuluakulu anamuchitira chipongwe.
42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel. Let him come down off the cross, and then we will believe in him.
Iwo anati, “Anapulumutsa ena koma sangathe kudzipulumutsa yekha! Ndi mfumu ya Israeli! Mulekeni atsike pa mtanda ndipo tidzamukhulupirira Iye.
43 He trusts in God, let God rescue him now, if God consents to release him. For he even said, 'I am the Son of God.'”
Amadalira Mulungu, mulekeni Mulunguyo amupulumutse tsopano ngati akumufuna pakuti anati, ‘Ndine Mwana wa Mulungu.’”
44 In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also spoke insults to him.
Momwemonso mbala zimene zinapachikidwa naye pamodzi zinamuneneranso zachipongwe.
45 Now from the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Kuyambira 12 koloko masana mpaka 3 koloko, kunachita mdima pa dziko lonse.
46 About the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice and said, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Ndipo nthawi ili ngati 3 koloko, Yesu analira mofuwula nati, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani!” Kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu Wanga, Mulungu Wanga, mwandisiyiranji Ine?”
47 When some of those who were standing there heard it, they said, “He is calling for Elijah.”
Ena a oyimirira pamalopo atamva izi anati, “Akuyitana Eliya.”
48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed staff, and gave it to him to drink.
Mmodzi wa iwo anathamanga natenga chinkhupule. Anachidzaza ndi vinyo wosasa, nachizika ku mtengo namupatsa Yesu kuti amwe.
49 The rest of them said, “Leave him alone. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
Koma ena onse anati, “Mulekeni tiyeni tione ngati Eliyayo abwere kudzamupulutsa.”
50 Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
Ndipo pamene Yesu analiranso mofuwula, anapereka mzimu wake.
51 Behold, the curtain of the temple was split in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth shook, and the rocks split apart.
Pa nthawi imeneyo chinsalu chotchinga cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi. Dziko linagwedezeka ndipo miyala inangʼambika.
52 The tombs were opened, and the bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
Manda anatsekuka ndipo mitembo yambiri ya anthu oyera mtima amene anafa inaukitsidwa.
53 They came out of the tombs after his resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.
Anatuluka mʼmanda mwawo, ndipo chitachitika chiukitso cha Yesu, anapita mu mzinda woyera naonekera kwa anthu ambiri.
54 Now when the centurion and those who were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they became very afraid and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”
Mkulu wa asilikali ndi amene ankalondera Yesu ataona chivomerezi ndi zonse zinachitika, anachita mantha, ndipo anati, “Zoonadi, uyu anali Mwana wa Mulungu!”
55 Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for him were there looking on from a distance.
Amayi ambirimbiri amene ankasamalira Yesu ankaonerera ali patali. Iwo anamutsatira Yesu kuchokera ku Galileya.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Pakati pawo panali Mariya wa ku Magadala, Mariya amayi ake Yakobo ndi Yosefe ndi amayi a ana a Zebedayo.
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.
Pamene kumada, kunabwera munthu wolemera wa ku Arimateyu dzina lake Yosefe amene anali wophunzira wa Yesu.
58 He approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
Anapita kwa Pilato kukapempha mtembo wa Yesu, ndipo Pilato analamula kuti uperekedwe kwa iye.
59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Yosefe anatenga mtembowo, nawukulunga nsalu yabafuta.
60 and laid it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb and went away.
Ndipo anawuyika mʼmanda ake atsopano amene anasema mu thanthwe, natsekapo ndi mwala waukulu pa khomo la mandawo nachokapo.
61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
Mariya wa Magadala ndi Mariya wina anakhala pansi moyangʼanizana ndi mandawo.
62 The next day, which was the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together with Pilate.
Litapita tsiku lokonzekera Sabata, mmawa mwake, akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi anapita kwa Pilato.
63 They said, “Sir, we remember that when that deceiver was alive, he said, 'After three days will I rise again.'
Iwo anati, “Bwana takumbukira kuti munthu wonyenga uja akanali ndi moyo anati, ‘Pakatha masiku atatu ndidzauka.’
64 Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, otherwise his disciples may come and steal him and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
Choncho lamulirani kuti manda ake atetezedwe mpaka pa tsiku lachitatu. Chifukwa tikapanda kutero, ophunzira ake angabwere kudzaba mtembo wake ndipo angawuze anthu kuti waukitsidwa kwa akufa. Ndipo chinyengo chomalizachi chidzakhala choyipa kwambiri kusiyana ndi choyamba chija.”
65 Pilate said to them, “Take a guard. Go and make it as secure as you can.”
Pilato anayankha kuti, “Tengani mlonda kalondereni monga mudziwira.”
66 So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and placing the guard.
Tsono anapita nakatseka manda kolimba ndi kuyikapo chizindikiro ndipo anayikapo mlonda.
