Luke 22
1 Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
Nʼoge a, Mmemme Achịcha na-ekoghị eko nke a na-akpọ Ngabiga na-eru nso.
2 and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.
Ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu nọkwa na-achọ ụzọ ha ga-esi gbuo ya, nʼihi na ha na-atụ egwu ndị mmadụ.
3 Satan, however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot) who was one of the Twelve.
Mgbe ahụ, ekwensu banyere nʼime Judas, onye a na-akpọ Iskarịọt, otu nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ na-eso ụzọ ya.
4 He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them.
Ọ gakwuru ndịisi nchụaja, na ndịisi ndị nlekọta nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ya na ha akparịta ụka otu ọ ga-esi rara ya nyefee ya nʼaka ha.
5 This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him.
Ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ ma kwekwa nkwa inye ya ego.
6 He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there.
O kwenyere, na-achọkwa ohere ga-adị mma ọ ga-eji nyefee ya nʼaka ha mgbe igwe mmadụ na-agaghị anọ.
7 When the day of the Unleavened Bread came--the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed--
O ruo nʼụbọchị Mmemme Achịcha na-ekoghị eko ahụ bụ ụbọchị a na-eji atụrụ Ngabiga achụ aja.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. "Go," He said, "and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."
O zipụrụ Pita na Jọn sị, “Gaanụ kwadoo maka oriri Ngabiga nke anyị ga-eri.”
9 "Where shall we prepare it?" they asked.
Ha sịrị ya, “Ebee ka ị chọrọ ka anyị gaa kwadoo maka ya?”
10 "You will no sooner have entered the city," He replied, "than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house to which he goes,
Ọ sịrị ha, “Lee, ka unu na-abata nʼobodo, otu nwoke bu ite mmiri ga-ezute unu, soronụ ya baa nʼụlọ ọbụla ọ banyere.
11 and say to the master of the house, "'The Rabbi asks you, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
Sịnụ onyenwe ụlọ ahụ, ‘Onye ozizi sịrị, Olee ụlọ ndị ọbịa ebe mụ na ndị na-eso ụzọ m ga-anọ rie oriri Ngabiga?’
12 "And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations."
Ọ ga-egosi unu otu ọnụụlọ buru ibu dị nʼelu ụlọ nke e dozicharala ihe niile, kwadoonụ nri anyị nʼebe ahụ.”
13 So they went and found all as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
Ha gara chọpụta ihe niile dị ka ọ gwara ha. Ha kwadokwara nri Ngabiga ahụ.
14 When the time was come, and He had taken His place at table, and the Apostles with Him,
Mgbe oge awa ahụ ruru, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya gara ebe ahụ nọdụ ala iri ihe.
15 He said to them, "Earnestly have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ gụrụ m nnọọ agụụ ka mụ na unu rie nri Ngabiga a tupu mụ ataa ahụhụ.
16 for I tell you that I certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out in the Kingdom of God."
Nʼihi na asị m unu, agaghị m erikwa ya ọzọ tutu ruo mgbe a ga-emezu ya nʼalaeze Chineke.”
17 Then, having received the cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;
O buru iko, mgbe o nyechara ekele ọ sịrị, “Burunu nke a kesaa nʼetiti unu.
18 for I tell you that from this time I will never drink the produce of the vine till the Kingdom of God has come."
Nʼihi na asị m unu, site ugbu a ga nʼihu, agaghị m aṅụ mmanya sitere na mkpụrụ vaịnị ọzọ, ruo mgbe alaeze Chineke ga-abịa.”
19 Then, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance of me."
O werekwara otu ogbe achịcha, mgbe o nyechara ekele, ọ nyawaa ya nye ha sị, “Nke a bụ ahụ m nke e nyere nʼihi unu. Na-emenụ nke a iji na-echeta m.”
20 He gave them the cup in like manner, when the meal was over. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant ratified by my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf.
Nʼotu ụzọ ahụ, mgbe ha risiri nri anyasị o buuru iko sị, “Iko a bụ iko nke ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ nʼọbara m, nke a na-awụpụ nʼihi unu.
21 Yet the hand of him who is betraying me is at the table with me.
Ma lee, onye ahụ nke ga-arara m nye nọnyeere m, o sokwa m na-eri nri.
22 For indeed the Son of Man goes on His way--His pre-destined way; yet alas for that man who is betraying Him!"
Nwa nke Mmadụ na-aga ịnwụ dị ka e kpebiri ya, ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị nwoke ahụ a ga-esi nʼaka ya rara ya nye.”
23 Thereupon they began to discuss with one another which of them it could possibly be who was about to do this.
Ha bidoro ịjụrịta onwe ha onye ọ bụ nʼetiti ha ga-eme nke a.
24 There arose also a dispute among them which of them should be regarded as greatest.
Ịrụ ụka malitere nʼetiti ha banyere onye nʼime ha ka a na-agụ na ọ dị ukwuu karịa ibe ya.
25 But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles are their masters, and those who exercise authority over them are called Benefactors.
Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Ndị eze ndị mba ọzọ na-eji aka ike na-achị ndị nọ nʼokpuru ha. Otu aka ahụkwa, a na-akpọ ndị na-achị achị enyi ndị mmadụ.
26 With you it is not so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and the leader be like him who serves.
Ma unu onwe unu agaghị adị otu a. Kama onye kachasị ibe ya ịdị elu dịrị ka onye dịkarịsịrị nta. Ka onyeisi dịrị ka onye na-eje ozi.
27 For which is the greater--he who sits at table, or he who waits on him? Is it not he who sits at table? But my position among you is that of one who waits on others.
Onye dị elu karịa ibe ya? Ọ bụ onye nọdụrụ ala rie nri na tebul ka ọ bụ onye siri nri dozie ya na tebul? Ọ bụghị onye nọdụrụ ala rie nri na tebul? Ma adị m ka onye na-eje ozi nʼetiti unu.
28 You however have remained with me amid my trials;
Ọ bụ unu onwe unu bụ ndị nọnyere m nʼoge ọnwụnwa m niile.
29 and I covenant to give you, as my Father has covenanted to give me, a Kingdom--
Ana m enye unu alaeze dị ka Nna m nyere m ya.
30 so that you shall eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones as judges over the twelve tribes of Israel.
Ka unu nwe ike isoro m rie ma ṅụọkwa nʼalaeze m. Sorokwa m nọdụ nʼocheeze na-ekpe ebo iri na abụọ nke Izrel ikpe.
31 "Simon, Simon, I tell you that Satan has obtained permission to have all of you to sift as wheat is sifted.
“Saimọn, Saimọn, lee ekwensu arịọla ike ịyọcha unu dị ka ọka wiiti.
32 But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail, and you, when at last you have come back to your true self, must strengthen your brethren."
Ma ekpeelara m gị ekpere ka okwukwe gị ghara ịda. Mgbe ị kwudosiri ike, gbaakwa ụmụnna gị ume.”
33 "Master," replied Peter, "with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death."
Ma ọ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ejikeere m isoro gị gaa mkpọrọ, ma sorokwa gị nwụọ.”
34 "I tell you, Peter," said Jesus, "that the cock will not crow to-day till you have three times denied that you know me."
Jisọs zara, “Agwa m gị Pita, tupu oke ọkụkụ akwaa akwa taa, ị ga-agọnarị m ugboro atọ, si na ị maghị onye m bụ.”
35 Then He asked them, "When I sent you out without purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" "No, nothing," they replied.
Ọ gwara ha, “Mgbe m zipụrụ unu na mbụ sị unu ewerekwala ego, maọbụ akpa maọbụ akpụkpọụkwụ, o nwere ihe kọrọ unu?” Ha sịrị, “O nweghị ihe kọrọ anyị.”
36 "But now," said He, "let the one who has a purse take it, and he who has a bag must do the same. And let him who has no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na i nwere akpa ego, were ya, ma werekwa akpa ije. Ọ bụrụkwa na i nweghị mma agha ree uwe mgbokwasị gị zụtara onwe gị otu.
37 For I tell you that those words of Scripture must yet find their fulfilment in me: 'And He was reckoned among the lawless'; for indeed that saying about me has its accomplishment."
Nʼihi na agwa m unu, na a ga-emejupụta ihe ndị a e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ nʼime m, A gụkọtara ya na ndị na-emebi iwu. Nʼezie, ihe e dere banyere m eruwela mgbe ọ ga-emezu.”
38 "Master, here are two swords," they exclaimed. "That is enough," He replied.
Ha sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị, lee mma agha abụọ dị ebe a.” Ọ sịrị ha, “Nke ahụ ezuola.”
39 On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him.
Jisọs pụrụ gaa nʼUgwu Oliv dị ka ọ na-eme mgbe dum, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sokwa ya gaa.
40 But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."
Mgbe o ruru nʼebe ahụ, ọ sịrị ha, “Kpeenụ ekpere ka unu ghara ịdaba nʼọnwụnwa.”
41 But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying,
Ọ hapụrụ ha gaa ihe ha ka nzọ ụkwụ ole na ole nọrọ nʼebe ahụ gbuo ikpere nʼala kpee ekpere, sị,
42 "Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!"
“Nna ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, nara m iko a, ma otu ọ dị, ọ bụghị ka e mee uche m, kama ka e mezuo uche gị.”
43 And there appeared to Him an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him;
Otu mmụọ ozi si nʼeluigwe bịakwutere ya, gbaakwa ya ume.
44 while He--an agony of distress having come upon Him--prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground.
Site nʼoke ihe mgbu, o kpere ekpere kpesie ike, nke mere na ọsụsọ si ya nʼahụ na-adapụ nʼala dị ka ọkpụrụkpụ ọbara.
45 When He rose from his prayer and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow.
Mgbe o kpechara ekpere bilie, ọ bịakwutere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya hụ ha ka ha na-arahụ ụra nʼihi ihe mwute nke obi.
46 "Why are you sleeping?" He said; "stand up; and pray that you may not come into temptation."
Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-arahụ ụra? Bilienụ kpee ekpere ka unu ghara ịdaba nʼọnwụnwa.”
47 While He was still speaking there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.
Mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu nʼọnụ, igwe mmadụ bịara, onye du ha bụ onye a na-akpọ Judas, bụ otu nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya. Ọ bịaruru Jisọs nso, isutu ya ọnụ.
48 "Judas," said Jesus, "are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
Ma Jisọs sịrị ya, “Judas, ọ bụ site nʼisutu ọnụ ka i ji arara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye?”
49 Those who were about Him, seeing what was likely to happen, asked Him, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"
Mgbe ndị nọ ya gburugburu hụrụ ihe gaje ime, ha sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ anyị were mma agha gbuo?”
50 And one of them struck a blow at the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.
Otu nʼime ha ji mma gbuo ohu onyeisi nchụaja, gbupụ ntị aka nri ya.
51 "Permit me thus far," said Jesus. And He touched the ear and healed it.
Ma Jisọs sịrị, “O zuola!” O metụkwara ntị nwoke ahụ aka gwọọ ya.
52 Then Jesus said to the High Priests and Commanders of the Temple and Elders, who had come to arrest Him, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and cudgels?
Mgbe ahụ, Jisọs sịrị ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị nlekọta nke ụlọnsọ ukwu na ndị okenye, “Gịnị mere unu ji chịrị mma agha na mkpọ bịa ijide m, dị ka a ga-asị na m bụ onye ohi o ji egbe ezu?
53 While day after day I was with you in the Temple, you did not lay hands upon me; but to you belongs this hour--and the power of darkness."
Mgbe mụ na unu na-anọ kwa ụbọchị nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ma unu emetụghị m aka. Ma ugbu a bụ oge awa unu bụrụkwa mgbe ike ọchịchịrị na-achị achị.”
54 And they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the High Priest's house, while Peter followed a good way behind.
Mgbe ahụ ha jidere ya duru ya pụọ, gaa nʼụlọ onyeisi nchụaja. Pita sokwara ha nʼazụ kama ọ nọ nʼebe dị anya.
55 And when they had lighted a fire in the middle of the court and had seated themselves in a group round it, Peter was sitting among them,
Mgbe ha kwanyere ọkụ nʼetiti mbara ezi obi ahụ, ma nọdụ ala gba ọkụ ahụ gburugburu, Pita sokwara ha nọdụ ala.
56 when a maidservant saw him sitting by the fire, and, looking fixedly at him, she said, "This man also was with him."
Ka ọ na-anya ọkụ ahụ, otu nwaagbọghọ na-eje ozi hụrụ ya, o leruru ya anya nke ọma, sị, “Onye a na Jisọs nọkọrọ.”
57 But he denied it, and declared, "Woman, I do not know him."
Ma ọ gọrọ agọ sị, “Nwanyị, amaghị m onye ọ bụ.”
58 Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.
Mgbe oge nta gasịrị, onye ọzọ hụkwara ya kwukwaa sị, “Gị onwe gị bụkwa otu onye nʼime ha.” Ma Pita kwuru sị, “Nwoke m, abụghị m.”
59 After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained: "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean."
Mgbe ihe dị ka otu awa gafere, onye ọzọ bịakwara kwusie okwu ike, “Nʼezie, nwoke a so ya nʼihi na ọ bụ onye Galili.”
60 "Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.
Pita sịrị, “Nwoke m, amaghị m ihe ị na-ekwu maka ya?” Dị ka ọ kpụ okwu ahụ nʼọnụ, oke ọkpa kwara akwa.
61 The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị tụgharịrị lee Pita anya. Pita chetakwara okwu Onyenwe anyị gwara ya nke bụ, “Tupu oke ọkpa akwa akwa taa, ị ga-agọnarị m ugboro atọ.”
62 And he went out and wept aloud bitterly.
Ma ọ pụrụ nʼezi gaa bee akwa na mwute.
63 Meanwhile the men who held Jesus in custody repeatedly beat Him in cruel sport,
Ndị ahụ na-eche ya nche bidoro na-akwa ya emo na-etikwa ya ihe.
64 or blindfolded Him, and then challenged Him. "Prove to us," they said, "that you are a prophet, by telling us who it was that struck you."
Ha jiri akwa kechie ya anya, sị ya, “Buo amụma, onye tiri gị ihe?”
65 And they said many other insulting things to Him.
Ha kwukwara ọtụtụ okwu ọjọọ na nke mkparị megide ya.
66 As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders, both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,
Mgbe chi bọrọ, nzukọ ndị okenye na ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu zukọtara, a kpọtakwara Jisọs nʼihu ha.
67 "Are you the Christ? Tell us." "If I tell you," He replied, "you will certainly not believe;
Ha na-ekwu, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Kraịst, gwa anyị.” Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na m agwa unu, unu agaghị ekwe.
68 and if I ask you questions, you will certainly not answer.
Ọ bụrụkwa na m ajụọ unu ajụjụ, unu agaghị aza m.
69 But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence."
Ma site ugbu a gawa, Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-anọdụ ala nʼaka nri nke ike Chineke.”
70 Thereupon they cried out with one voice, "You, then, are the Son of God?" "It is as you say," He answered; "I am He."
Ha niile sịrị, “Gị onwe gị, ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke?” Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu kwuru na Abụ m.”
71 "What need have we of further evidence?" they said; "for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
Mgbe ahụ ha sịrị, “Gịnị mere anyị ji na-achọ onye akaebe ọzọ? Anyị ejirila ntị anyị nụrụ ya site nʼọnụ ya.”
