< Mark 14 >

1 It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the High Priests and Scribes were bent on finding how to seize Him by stratagem and put Him to death.
Gasigalile moŵa gaŵili likanaŵe lyuŵa lya chindimba cha Pasaka ni chindimba cha mikate jangataga amila. Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaliji nkusosa itajile pakwakamula Che Yesu, mwangamanyilila jwalijose ni kummulaga.
2 But they said, "Not on the Festival-day, for fear there should be a riot among the people."
Ŵatite, “Tukatenda yeleyo katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka, kuti ŵandu akatindiganya.”
3 Now when He was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while He was at table, there came a woman with a jar of pure, sweet-scented ointment very costly: she broke the jar and poured the ointment over His head.
Che Yesu ŵaliji ku Besania, kumusi ku che Simoni juŵaliji jwamatana. Paŵalyaga, ŵaiche jwankongwe jumo juŵaliji ni chuupa chachikolochekwe ni liganga lyalikuŵilanjikwa alabasta, chachili ni mauta ga kununjila nnope ga ntengo wekulungwa gagakuŵilanjikwa nado. Ŵakasile chuupa cho, ni kwajitila mauta Che Yesu mu ntwe.
4 But there were some who said indignantly among themselves, "Why has the ointment been thus wasted?
Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵaŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu yachimile achitiji, “Kwachichi akugajonanga mauta ga ntengo ga?
5 For that ointment might have been sold for fifteen pounds or more, and the money have been given to the poor." And they were exceedingly angry with her.
Ngati akasumisye mauta ga ni kupata mbiya syasijinji ni kwapa ŵandu ŵakulaga!” Nipele ŵankalipile kwannope jwankongwe jo.
6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone: why are you troubling her? She has done a most gracious act towards me.
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Munneche! Nkunsauchisya ichichi? Jweleju ambanganyichisye chindu chambone.
7 For you always have the poor among you, and whenever you choose you can do acts of kindness to them; but me you have not always.
Ŵandu ŵakulaga chaŵe ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose, iŵaga nkusaka kwakamuchisya nkukombola. Nambo une nguŵa ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose.
8 What she could she did: she has perfumed my body in preparation for my burial.
Jweleju atesile yakombwele. Alongolele kuchijitilila mauta chiilu changu, kuchiŵika chile, gakanaŵe masiiko gangu.
9 And I solemnly tell you that wherever in the whole world the Good News shall be proclaimed, this which she has done shall also be told in remembrance of her."
Isyene ngunsalila, kwakulikose pachilambo pachijilalichikwe Ngani Jambone ni achi chatesile jwankongwe ju chichisalichikwe kwakwakumbuchila.”
10 But Judas Iscariot, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, went to the High Priests to betray Jesus to them.
Nipele, che Yuda Isikaliote, jumo jwa achinduna kumi na mbili ŵala, ŵajawile kwa achakulu ŵambopesi kuti akombole kwagalauka Che Yesu.
11 They gladly listened to his proposal, and promised to give him a sum of money. So he looked out for an opportunity to betray Him.
Achakulu ŵambopesi ŵasangalele pakupikana ngani jo, ni ŵannanjile kuti chiŵaape mbiya. Nipele che Yuda ŵasosile lipesa lyambone lya kungalauka Che Yesu.
12 On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread--the day for killing the Passover lamb--His disciples asked Him, "Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
Pa lyuŵa lya kutanda lya chindimba cha mikate jangataga Amila, katema paŵasikitaga mwanangondolo jwa Pasaka, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye, “Ana kwapi nkusaka tukachikolochesye chakulya cha Pasaka?”
13 So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him,
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaatumile ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵaasalile, “Njaule mu musi, ni mwelemo chinkasimane ni jwannume ali atwichile lulo lwa meesi. Nkankuye
14 and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, 'The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
mpaka nyuumba jichakajinjile, nkansalile nsyene nyuumba jo, ‘Jwakwiganya akummusya, chili kwapi chuumba muchingalile chakulya cha Pasaka pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵangu?’
15 Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us."
Nombejo chakannosye chuumba chachikulungwa cha penani chachili chile ni kupambwa. Nkatukulumichisye mwelemo.”
16 So the disciples went out and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵatyosile, ni kwaula mmusi, ŵaisimene yose ili mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu. Nombewo ŵakulumisye chakulya cha Pasaka.
17 When it was evening, He came with the Twelve.
Kuli kuswele, Che Yesu ŵaiche pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili.
18 And while they were at table Jesus said, "I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me--one who is eating with me."
Paŵaliji aninkulya, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Isyene ngunsalila, jumo mwa ŵanyamwe jwakulya pamo ni une, chang'alauche.”
19 They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, "Not I, is it?"
Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatandite kusupuka, ni ŵatandite kummusya jumojumo, “Ana ndili une?”
20 "It is one of the Twelve," He replied; "he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jumo mwa ŵanyamwe kumi na mbili, jwakupamba nkate wakwe mu mbale pamo ni une.
21 For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born."
Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu chawe mpela iilembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela nkati ŵelewo. Nambo chalaje mundu jwakungalauka Mwana jwa Mundu! Ikaliji mmbaya mundu jo ngakapagwe!”
22 Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it is my body."
Paŵalyaga, Che Yesu ŵajigele nkate, ŵatogolele Akunnungu, ŵaugaŵenye ni kwapa ŵakulijiganya ŵao, achitiji, “Mpochele, nlyanje, chelechi ni chiilu changu.”
23 Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it.
Sooni ŵajigele chikombe cha divai, ŵatogolele Akunnungu, ni kwapa, ni wose ŵang'welele divai mu chikombe cho.
24 "This is my blood," He said, "which is to be poured out on behalf of many--the blood which makes the Covenant sure.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Jeleji ni miasi jangu ja lilangano lya Akunnungu, jajikwitika kwa ligongo lya kwalechelesya ŵandu ŵajinji.
25 I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God."
Isyene ngunsalila, ngung'wa sooni divai mpaka lyuŵa paching'we divai jasambano mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
26 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Paŵamasile kwimba lujimbo lwa kwatogolela Akunnungu, ŵatyosile kwaula ku Chikwesya chachigumbele itela ya Miseituni.
27 Then said Jesus to them, "All of you are about to stumble and fall, for it is written, 'I will strike down the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered in all directions.'
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ŵanyamwe wose chimmutuche ni kuuneka, pakuŵa Mmalembelo Gamaswela Akunnungu akuti, ‘Chinambulaje jwakuchinga, ni ngondolo sisipwilingane.’
28 But after I have risen to life again I will go before you into Galilee."
Nambo pachinjisyuka, chinjinnongolela kwaula ku Galilaya.”
29 "All may stumble and fall," said Peter, "yet I never will."
Che Petulo ŵansalile, “Atamuno annekaga wose, une ngangunneka ng'oo!”
30 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that to-day--this night--before the cock crows twice, you yourself will three times disown me."
Che Yesu ŵansalile che Petulo, “Isyene ngunsalila, chilo cha lelo chino, tambala jikanaŵe kutongola kaŵili, chimungane katatu kuti ngankuumanyilila.”
31 "Even if I must die with you," declared Peter again and again, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested also all the disciples.
Nambo che Petulo ŵapundile kulimbila kuti, “Atamuno iŵaga ngusachilwa kuwa pamo nomwe ngangunneka ng'oo!” Ni ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala ŵaŵechete iyoyo peyo.
32 So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."
Ŵaichenje pa ngunda wa mwana waukuŵilanjikwa Getesemane, Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Ntamanje apano katema pangwaula kukwapopela Akunnungu.”
33 Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be full of terror and distress,
Nipele ŵaajigele che Petulo ni che Yakobo ni che Yohana, ŵatandite kusupuka kwannope ni kupotekwa mu ntima.
34 and He said to them, "My heart is oppressed with anguish to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake."
Ni ŵaasalile, “Ngupotekwa kwannope mu ntima ni chipwetesi chachikukombola kumulaga. Ntamanje apano ni kuŵa meeso pe.”
35 Going forward a short distance He threw Himself upon His face and prayed repeatedly that, if it was possible, He might be spared that time of agony;
Nipele ŵajawile mmbujo kanandi, ni ŵagwile manguuku, ŵapopelele kuti, yakombolekaga anajinjile mu katema ka malagasyo ko.
36 and He said, "Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest."
Ni ŵatite, “Atati wangu, yose ikukomboleka kukwenu. Mundyochesye chikombe cha malagasyo chi. Ngaŵa mpela ingusaka une, nambo mpela inkusaka mmwe.”
37 Then He came and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Had you not strength to keep awake a single hour?
Nipele, ŵausile kwa ŵakulijiganya ŵatatu ŵala, ni ŵaasimene agonile. Ŵammusisye che Petulo, “Che Simoni, uli ngonile? Nganinkombola kutama meeso pe namose saa jimo?”
38 Be wakeful, all of you, and keep on praying, that you may not come into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail."
Nipele ŵaasalile, “Ntamanje meeso pe ni kupopela kuti nkajinjila nkulinjikwa. Pakuŵa ntima ukusaka kupanganya yambone, nambo chiilu chilepetele.”
39 He again went away and prayed, using the very same words.
Ŵajawile sooni kukupopela achiujilaga maloŵe gagogo pego.
40 When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him.
Paŵausile sooni, ŵasimene ŵakulijiganya ŵala ali agonile, ligongo ŵatopelwe ni lugono. Nombewo nganachimanyilila chakwajanga Che Yesu.
41 A third time He came, and then He said, "Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men.
Kaatatu paŵaichilile ŵaasalile, “Ana ndi chigonele ni kupumulila? Sambano njimuche! Nnole, saa jiiche Mwana jwa Mundu akutajikwa mmakono ga ŵandu ŵaali ni sambi.
42 Rouse yourselves, let us be going: my betrayer is close at hand."
Njimuchanje, twende. Nnole mundu jwakung'alauka aŵandichile.”
43 Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came and with him a crowd of men armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the High Priests and Scribes and Elders.
Che Yesu paŵaliji nkuŵecheta, che Yuda, jumo jwa achinduna kumi na mbili, ŵaiche. Ŵaiche ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaŵatumikwe ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni achachekulu, ali ajigele mapanga ni imbonga.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. "The one I kiss," he said, "is the man: lay hold of him, and take him safely away."
Che Yuda jwakugalauka jula ŵapele ŵanyawo chimanyisyo chi, “Ajula juchingankomasye kwa kwanonyela ni jujojo junkunsaka. Munkamule ni kunlindilila.”
45 So he came, and going straight to Jesus he said, "Rabbi!" and kissed Him with seeming affection;
Che Yuda paŵaiche pe, papopo ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwasalila, “Jwakwiganya!” Nipele ŵankomasisye kwa unonyelo.
46 whereupon they laid hands on Him and held Him firmly.
Nipele ŵandu ŵala ŵankamwile Che Yesu ni kuntaŵa.
47 But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck a blow at the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
Nambo jumo jwa ŵeŵala uŵajimi pelepo pamo ni Che Yesu, ŵasolomwele lipanga lyakwe ni kumputila kapolo jwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu, ni ŵankapile liwiwi.
48 "Have you come out," said Jesus, "with swords and cudgels to arrest me, as if you had to fight with a robber?
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ana nnyiche ni mapanga ni imbonga kukungamula mpela ila une ndili jwachiswamba?
49 Day after day I used to be among you in the Temple teaching, and you never seized me. But this is happening in order that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.'
Moŵa gose naliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe njijiganyaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nganimungamula. Nambo sambano ngaleche Malembelo ga Akunnungu gamalile.”
50 Then His friends all forsook Him and fled.
Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵao wose ŵannesile ni kulukunula.
51 One youth indeed did follow Him, wearing only a linen cloth round his bare body. Of him they laid hold,
Jwapali jwanchanda jumo juŵaliji nkwakuya Che Yesu ali aliŵagele shuka pe. Ni ŵanyawo ŵasachile kunkamula,
52 but he left the linen cloth in their hands and fled without it.
nambo jwanchanda jula ŵapelete, ŵalesile shuka jila ni kutila matakope.
53 So they led Jesus away to the High Priest, and with him there assembled all the High Priests, Elders, and Scribes.
Nipele, ŵampeleche Che Yesu ku nyuumba ja Jwambopesi Jwankulu, kuŵasongangene achakulu ŵambopesi wose ni achachekulu ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo.
54 Peter followed Jesus at a distance, as far as the outer court of the High Priest's palace. But there he remained sitting among the officers, and warming himself by the fire.
Che Petulo ŵankuiye Che Yesu kwakutalichila, ŵajinjile mu lutenje lwa nyuumba ja Jwambopesi Jwankulu. Pelepo ŵatemi pamo ni ŵakulindilila achijotelaga mooto.
55 Meanwhile the High Priests and the entire Sanhedrin were endeavouring to get evidence against Jesus in order to put Him to death, but could find none;
Nipele, achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵandu ŵane wose pa Nkungulu pala ŵasosile umboni wa kummechetela Che Yesu kuti ŵaulaje, nambo wasoŵile.
56 for though many gave false testimony against Him, their statements did not tally.
Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵechetele Che Yesu umboni wa unami, nambo umboni wao nganiujilana.
57 Then some came forward as witnesses and falsely declared,
Nipele ŵane wajimi ni kuŵecheta umboni wa unami, achitiji,
58 "We have heard him say, 'I will pull down this Sanctuary built by human hands, and three days afterwards I will erect another built without hands.'"
“Twampilikene ali nkuŵecheta, ‘Une chinajigumule Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji, jajitaŵikwe ni ŵandu ni kutaŵa kwa moŵa gatatu jine jangataŵikwa ni ŵandu.’”
59 But not even in this shape was their testimony consistent.
Namose yeleyo, umboni wao nganiujilana.
60 At last the High Priest stood up, and advancing into the midst of them all, asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is the meaning of all this that these witnesses allege against you?"
Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵajimi paujo pa ŵandu ni kwausya Che Yesu, “Uli, ngankwanga chachili chose kwa wele umboni ŵakumbechetela wo?”
61 But He remained silent, and gave no reply. A second time the High Priest questioned Him. "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" he said.
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaliji jii, nganaŵecheta chachili chose. Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵammusisye sooni, “Ana mmweji ni Kilisito, Mwana jwa Akunnungu Ŵakulu?”
62 "I am," replied Jesus, "and you and others will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the divine Power, and coming amid the clouds of the sky."
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Elo, ndili une. Sooni, chinchimmona Mwana jwa Mundu ali atemi kundyo kwa Akunnungu ŵa machili, ali nkwika mmaunde ga kwinani.”
63 Rending his garments the High Priest exclaimed, "What need have we of witnesses after that?
Jwambopesi Jwankulu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵapapwile mwinjilo wakwe achitiji, “Ngatukusaka sooni umboni wine nkati mundu ju!
64 You all heard his impious words. What is your judgement?" Then with one voice they condemned Him as deserving of death.
Mumpilikene yatite pakwatukana Akunnungu! Ŵanyamwe nkuti uli?” Wose ŵanlamwile aulajikwe.
65 Thereupon some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, while striking Him with their fists and crying, "Prove that you are a prophet." The officers too struck Him with open hands as they took Him in charge.
Ŵandu ŵane ŵatandite kunsunila mata Che Yesu, ni ŵansiŵilile mmeeso ni ŵamputile ni kunsalila, “Nlondole, nduni jwamputile!” Iyoyo peyo ŵakulindilila ŵanjigele ni kumputa majanda.
66 Now while Peter was below in the quadrangle, one of the High Priest's maidservants came,
Che Petulo paŵaliji chiŵela mu lutenje, ŵaiche mwali jumo mwa achikatumetume ŵa Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
67 and seeing Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Nazarene."
Paŵammweni che Petulo achijotelaga mooto, ŵankolondolele ni kunsalila, “Nombe mmwejo iyoyo mwaliji pamo ni Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti.”
68 But he denied it, and said, "I don't know--I don't understand--What do you mean?" And then he went out into the outer court. Just then a cock crowed.
Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile achitiji, “Ngangwamanya namose nganguchimanyilila chinkuŵecheta cho.” Nipele ŵakopweche paasa, papopo tambala jatongwele.
69 Again the maidservant saw him, and again began to say to the people standing by, "He is one of them."
Mwali jula ŵammweni sooni che Petulo, ŵatandite kwasalila ŵandu uŵajimi pelepo, “Mundu ju ali jumo jwao.”
70 A second time he repeatedly denied it. Soon afterwards the bystanders again accused Peter, saying, "You are surely one of them, for you too are a Galilaean."
Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile sooni. Pangakaŵa, ŵandu uŵajimi pelepo ŵaasalile che Petulo, “Isyene mmwe ndi jumo jwao, pakuŵa mmwejo nombe ndi mundu jwa ku Galilaya.”
71 But he broke out into curses and oaths, declaring, "I know nothing of the man you are talking about."
Nambo che Petulo ŵatandite kusala, “Nweseche iŵaga ngusala unami, ngulumbilila kuti, isyene ngangummanyilila mundu ju junkungamba.”
72 No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed for the second time, and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, "Before the cock crows twice, you will three times disown me." And as he thought of it, he wept aloud.
Papopo pepo tambala jatongwele kaaŵili. Che Petulo ŵalikumbuchile liloŵe li Che Yesu liŵaasalile, “Tambala jikanaŵe kutongola kaŵili, chimungane katatu.” Nipele ŵaligwisisye paasi ni kulila.
