Luka 22
1 Azɔ Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui si woyɔna be Ŋutitotoŋkeke la te tu aƒe.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, called the passover, being near,
2 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo nɔ ŋugble dem vevie le mɔ si dzi woato awu Yesu, ale be ʋunyaʋunya madzɔ le dukɔa me o la ŋuti, elabena wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m na dukɔa me viwo.
the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.
3 Azɔ Satana ge ɖe Yuda Iskariɔt, ame si nye nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka la me,
Then Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
4 ale wòyi nunɔlagãwo kple gbedoxɔmesrafowo ƒe amegãwo gbɔ be yeade aɖaŋu kple wo le mɔ nyuitɔ si dzi yeato ade Yesu asi na wo la ŋuti.
And he went and concerted with the chief priests and officers, how he might deliver Jesus into their hands.
5 Edzɔ dzi na ameawo ŋutɔ be Yuda le klalo be yeakpe ɖe yewo ŋu, eya ta wodo ga home aɖe ŋugbe nɛ.
And they were glad, and agreed to give him a certain sum,
6 Tso esia dzi la, Yuda de asi ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ si me woalé Yesu le amehawo ƒe manyamanya me la didi me.
which Judas having accepted, watched an opportunity to deliver him up without tumult.
7 Azɔ Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui si dzi wowua ŋutitotolẽvi la le, eye woɖanɛ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã ƒe abolo la ɖo edzi.
Now, this day of unleavened bread being come, on which the passover must be sacrificed,
8 Yesu dɔ Petro kple Yohanes be woado ŋgɔ aɖawɔ dzadzraɖo na yewoƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekea ɖuɖu.
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the passover, that we may eat it.
9 Wobia be, “Afi ka nèdi be míayi aɖadzra ɖo?”
They asked him, Where shall we prepare it?
10 Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ne miege ɖe Yerusalem dua me teti ko la, miakpɔ ŋutsu aɖe si lé tsize ɖe ta wòazɔ va yina. Mikplɔe ɖo, eye miage ɖe aƒe si me wòage ɖo la me,
He answered, When you enter the city, you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he shall enter,
11 eye miagblɔ na aƒea tɔ be, ‘Míaƒe Nufiala be míbia wò be: Afi ka dzeƒe le, afi si nye kple nye nusrɔ̃lawo míaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le?’
and say to the master of the house, The Teacher asks you, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 Aƒea tɔ akplɔ mi ayi dziƒoxɔa dzi, eye wòafia xɔ gã aɖe si me wodzra ɖo la mi. Teƒe lae nye ema. Miyi, eye miaɖo kplɔ̃ ɖe afi ma.”
And he will show you a large upper room, furnished; make ready there.
13 Woyi dua me, eye wokpɔ be nu sia nu si Yesu gblɔ na wo la va eme tututu, ale wowɔ Ŋutitotoŋkeke la ƒe nuɖuɖu ɖoɖo da ɖi.
So they went, and having found everything as he had told them, prepared the passover.
14 Yesu kple nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo va ɖo le ɣeyiɣi si woɖo ɖi la me, eye wo katã wonɔ kplɔ̃a ŋu hena nua ɖuɖu.
When the hour was come, he placed himself at table with the twelve Apostles,
15 Yesu gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Menɔ mɔ kpɔm vevie be maɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekea ƒe nuɖuɖu sia kpli mi hafi nye fukpekpewo nadze egɔme.
and said to them, Much have I longed to eat this passover with you,
16 Elabena medi be mianya fifia be nyemagaɖui akpɔ o, va se ɖe esime woɖe nu si tututu wònye la ɖe go le mawufiaɖuƒea me.”
that I will never partake of another, until it be accomplished in the kingdom of God.
17 Azɔ etsɔ wainkplu ɖeka, eye esi wòda akpe ɖe eta vɔ la, egblɔ na wo be, “Mixɔe, eye ame sia ame nanoe.
Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks, and said, Take this, and share it amongst you;
18 Elabena mele egblɔm na mi be nyemagano waintsetse aɖeke me tsi akpɔ o, va se ɖe esime mawufiaɖuƒe la va.”
for I assure you, that I will not again drink of the product of the vine, until the Reign of God be come.
19 Emegbe etsɔ abolo, eye esi wòda akpe na Mawu le eta vɔ la, eŋe eme, eye wòtsɔe na nusrɔ̃lawo hegblɔ be, “Esia nye nye ŋutilã si metsɔ na ɖe mia ta. Miwɔ esia hena ŋkuɖoɖo dzinye.”
Then he took bread, and having given thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in commemoration of me.
20 Eye nenema ke wòtsɔ kplu la le fiẽnuɖuɖu la megbe hegblɔ be, “Kplu sia nye nubabla yeye le nye ʋu si wokɔ ɖe anyi le mia ta la me.
He likewise gave the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new Institution in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 Ke yonyememɔfiala ƒe asi le kplɔ̃a dzi kplim.
Mark, however, that the hand of him who betrays me, is on the table with mine.
22 Ele be Amegbetɔ Vi la naku abe ale si Mawu ɖoe ene. Gake baba na ame si adee asi!”
The Son of Man is going away, as has been determined: nevertheless, alas, for that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 Nusrɔ̃lawo tsa ŋku godoo le wo nɔewo dome hebia be ame kae le nu sia tɔgbi wɔ ge.
Then they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it could be that would do this.
24 Azɔ ʋiʋli ɖo nusrɔ̃lawo dome le ame si anye gãtɔ la ŋu.
There had been, also, a contention amongst them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Xexe sia me fiawo ɖua aƒetɔ ɖe wo teviwo dzi, eye amegã bubuwo hã tea wo teviwo ɖe to, gake teviawo bua ame siawo katã amenuvelawoe.
And he said to them, The king of the nations exercise dominion over them; and they who oppress them, are styled benefactors.
26 Gake mele be wòanɔ nenema le mia dome o, ame si di be yeanye miaƒe amegã la, newɔ eɖokui subɔlae.
But with you, it must be otherwise: nay, let the greatest amongst you be as the least; and him who governs, as he who serves.
27 Le xexea me la, aƒetɔ nɔa kplɔ̃ ŋu, eye eƒe subɔviwo va subɔnɛ. Gake esia mele mia dome le afii o! Elabena nyee nye miaƒe subɔvi.
For, which is greater, he who is at table, or he who serves? Is not he that is at table? Yet I am amongst you as one who serves.
28 Miawoe nye ame siwo do dzi nɔ anyi kplim le nye tetekpɔwo me,
You are they who have continued with me in my trials.
29 eye nye la mele fiaɖuƒe ɖom anyi na mi abe ale si Fofonye ɖo fiaɖuƒe anyi nam ene.
And I grant to you, (forasmuch as my Father has granted me a kingdom, )
30 Miaɖu nu, ano nu le kplɔ̃ ŋu kplim le fiaɖuƒe ma me. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, mianɔ fiazikpuiwo dzi adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu Israel ƒe tokɔ wuieveawo.”
to eat, and to drink at my table, in my kingdom, and to sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Yesu gblɔ na Petro be, “Simɔn, Simɔn, Satana le mi katã dim be yeagbɔ mi abe ale si wogbɔa bli ene.
The Lord said, also, Simon, Simon, Satan has obtained permission to sift you as wheat;
32 Gake medo gbe ɖa ɖe tawò be wò xɔse magabu keŋ o. Ale nenye be èdze si wò vodada, eye nègatrɔ va gbɔnye la, do ŋusẽ nɔviwò mamlɛawo hã, eye nàtu woƒe xɔse ɖe edzi.”
but I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not; do you, therefore, when you have recovered yourself, confirm your brethren.
33 Simɔn ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒetɔ, mele klalo be mayi gaxɔ me kpli wò, eye maku kpli wò gɔ̃ hã.”
He answered, Master, I am ready to accompany you, both to prison, and to death.
34 Gake Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Petro na magblɔ nya aɖe na wò. Va se ɖe etsɔ fɔŋli hafi koklo naku atɔ la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃ be yemenyam gɔ̃ hã o.”
Jesus replied, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day, before you have thrice denied that you know me.
35 Azɔ Yesu bia nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Esi medɔ mi be miyi ɖagblɔ nyanyui la eye mietsɔ ga, mɔzɔkotoku alo awu eve ɖe asi o eye miedo afɔkpa hã o ɖe, nane hiã mia?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Naneke mehiã mí o.”
Then he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and bag, and shoes, did you want anything?
36 Eyi edzi be, “Azɔ la, mitsɔ mɔzɔkotoku nenye be ɖe le mia si. Mitsɔ ga hã ɖe asi, eye ne yi mele mia dometɔ aɖe si o la, nedzra eƒe awuwo wòatsɔ ga la aƒle ɖee.
But now, said he, let him that has a purse, take it, and likewise his bag; and let him who has no sword, sell his mantle, and buy one;
37 Elabena ɣeyiɣi la ɖo bena nya si woŋlɔ ɖi tso ŋunye la nava eme be, ‘Wowui ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo dome.’ Le nyateƒe me la, nya siwo katã nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ tso ŋunye la ava eme.”
for I tell you that this scripture, "He was ranked among malefactors," is now to be accomplished in me: for the things relating to me must be fulfilled.
38 Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, yi eve le mía si le afi sia.” Yesu gblɔ be, “Esɔ gbɔ.”
They said, Master, here are two swords. He replied, It is enough.
39 Azɔ abe ale si Yesu wɔnɛ ɖaa ene la, edo go le dua me yi ɖe Amito la dzi. Eye eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dze eyome.
Then he went out, and repaired, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.
40 Ke esi woɖo teƒea la, egblɔ na wo be, “Mido gbe ɖa be tetekpɔ nagaɖu mia dzi o.”
Being arrived there, he said to them, Pray that you may not yield to temptation.
41 Edzo le nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ, zɔ vie ko, eye wòdze klo do gbe ɖa be,
Then, being withdrawn from them about a stone's cast; he kneeled down and prayed,
42 “Fofo, nenye wò lɔlɔ̃nu la, na kplu sia nato nunye ayi, gake menye nye lɔlɔ̃nu o, ke boŋ tɔwò ko woawɔ.”
saying, Father, if thou wilt, take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.
43 Kasia mawudɔla aɖe tso dziƒo va do ŋusẽe,
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 elabena eƒe gbɔgbɔ nɔ veve sem ale gbegbe be fifia nɔ dzadzam le eŋu abe ʋu ene ɖe anyigba le esime wònɔ gbe dom ɖa atraɖii.
And being in an agony of grief, he prayed the more fervently, and his sweat fell like clotted blood to the ground.
45 Mlɔeba la, etso le gbedoɖaƒe, eye wòtrɔ yi eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ, gake eva ke ɖe wo ŋu wonɔ alɔ̃ dɔm, elabena konyifafa na be woƒe lãme gbɔdzɔ.
Having risen from prayer, and returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping, oppressed with grief;
46 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Alɔ̃ dɔm mielea? Mifɔ kaba! Mido gbe ɖa be miaɖu tetekpɔwo dzi.”
and said to them, Why do you sleep? Arise, and pray, lest the trial overcome you.
47 Ke esi wònɔ nya siawo gblɔm la, ameha aɖe do ɖe wo dzi. Yuda, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka nɔ ŋgɔ na wo. Yuda zɔ ɖe Yesu dzi, eye wògbugbɔ alɔgo nɛ abe lɔlɔ̃ ƒe dzesi ene.
Before he had done speaking, he saw a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, walked before them, and came up to Jesus, to kiss him.
48 Gake Yesu biae be, “Yuda, nu ka ta nèwɔ esia ɖo, nugbugbɔe natsɔ ade Amegbetɔ Vi la asia?”
Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?
49 Esi nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo kpɔ nu si be yeadzɔ la, wodo ɣli be, “Aƒetɔ, míwɔ avu kpli woa? Míetsɔ míaƒe yiawo ɖe asi!”
Now, those who were with him, foreseeing what would happen, said to him, Master, shall we strike with the sword?
50 Kasia, nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka tsɔ eƒe yi kpa ɖusimeto na nunɔlagã ƒe subɔvi si nɔ ameawo dome.
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Migawɔ avu kpli wo o, miɖe asi le wo ŋu ko.” Ale wòka asi afi si subɔvia ƒe to la nɔ ŋu, eye toa gaɖo eteƒe abe tsã ene.
Jesus said, Let this suffice; and touching his ear, he healed him.
52 Yesu trɔ ɖe nunɔlagãwo, hamemegãwo kple gbedoxɔmesrafowo ƒe amegã siwo nɔ ameha la ŋgɔ va la ŋu, eye wòbia wo be, “Adzodalae menye, eya ta mietsɔ kpowo kple yiwo va be yewoalém ɖo mahã?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and the officers of the temple-guard, and the elders, who were come to apprehend him, Do you come with swords and clubs, as in pursuit of a robber?
53 Nu ka ta mielém le gbedoxɔ la me o ɖo? Menɔa afi ma gbe sia gbe ɖe! Gake ɣeyiɣi siae nye ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ na mi, ɣeyiɣi si me Satana ƒe ŋusẽ le dzi ɖum.”
While I was daily with you in the temple, you did not attempt to arrest me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 Ale wolée, eye wokplɔe yi nunɔlagã ƒe aƒe me, eye Petro nɔ eyome ʋĩi gbɔna.
Then they seized him, and led him away to the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.
55 Asrafowo do dzo ɖe xɔxɔnu le ƒuƒum, eye Petro va nɔ wo dome le afi ma.
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and were sitting round it, Peter sat down among them.
56 Dɔlanyɔnuvi aɖe si kpɔ Petro dze sii la gblɔ be, “Ame sia hã nɔ Yesu yome kpɔ.”
And a maid servant, having observed him sitting by the fire, and viewed him attentively, said, This man also was with him.
57 Ke Petro gbe gblɔ be, “Nyɔnu, nyemenya amea ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã o!”
But he disowned him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 Le aɖabaƒoƒo ʋɛ aɖewo megbe la, ame bubu hã kpɔe, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Wò hã, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka tututue nènye!” Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, amegã menye wo dometɔ ɖekae menye o.”
A little while after, another seeing him, said, You, also, are one of them. Peter answered, Man, I am not.
59 Abe gaƒoƒo ɖeka megbe ene la, ame bubu hã va gblɔ kple kakaɖedzi be, “Menya be ame sia hã nye Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, elabena eya hã nye Galileatɔ abe Yesu ene.”
About an hour after, another averred the same thing, saying, This man was surely with him, for he is a Galilean.
60 Ke Petro gado dzi gblɔ be, “Ŋutsu, nyemenya naneke kura tso nu si gblɔm nèle la ŋu o.” Eye esi wòɖe nu le nya siawo me ko la, koklo ku atɔ.
Peter answered, Man, I know nothing of this matter. And just as he spoke the word, a cock crew.
61 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me tututu la, Aƒetɔ la trɔ kpɔ Petro dũu. Kasia Petro ɖo ŋku Yesu ƒe nya siawo dzi be, “Hafi koklo naku atɔ etsɔ fɔŋli la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃.”
Then the Lord, turning, looked upon Peter, and Peter called to mind the word which the Lord had said to him, Before the cock crow, you will disown me thrice.
62 Petro do go heyi ɖafa avi vevie.
And he went out and wept bitterly.
63 Asrafo siwo le Yesu ŋu dzɔm la dze fewuɖuɖu le eŋu, eye wonɔ eƒom hã.
Meantime, they who had Jesus in charge, mocked and beat him;
64 Wotsyɔ̃ nu mo nɛ, eye wobia tso esi be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi! Ame kae ƒo wò.”
and having blindfolded him, struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Divine who it is that smote you.
65 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, wodzu dzu ƒomevi geɖewo nɛ.
And many other abusive things they said against him.
66 Le ŋufɔke ŋdi kanya la, Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo, dumegãwo kple agbalẽfialawo va ɖi anyi, eye wokplɔ Yesu va woƒe ŋkumee.
As soon as it was day, the national senate, with the chief priests and scribes, were assembled, and having caused him to be brought into their council-chamber, said to him,
67 Wogblɔ be, “Nenye wòe nye Kristo la, gblɔe na mí.” Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Ne megblɔe na mi la, miaxɔ dzinye ase o,
If you be the Messiah, tell us. He answered, If I tell you, you will not believe:
68 eye ne mebia nya aɖe mi hã, miele eŋu ɖo ge nam o.
and if put a question, you will neither answer me, nor acquit me.
69 Gake ɣeyiɣi gbɔna esi woaɖo Nye Amegbetɔ Vi la fiazikpui dzi le Mawu ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe nuɖusime.”
Hereafter the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of Almighty God.
70 Ameawo katã do ɣli sesĩe be, “Ekema ɖe nèle gbɔgblɔm be Mawu Vie yenyea?” Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Miawoe le egblɔm be Nyee.”
They all replied, You are, then, the Son of God? He answered, You say the truth.
71 Ameawo gado ɣli sesĩe be, “Ɖe míegahiã ɖasefo bubuwo be woatso ame sia nua? Gbeɖe! Míawo ŋutɔ míesee tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu me!”
Then they cried, What further need have we of evidence? We have heard enough ourselves, from his own mouth.
