Mateo 26
1 Esi Yesu ƒo nu na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo le nya siawo ŋu vɔ la, egblɔ na wo hã be,
And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,
2 “Abe ale si mienya ene la, Ŋutitotoŋkekea adze egɔme le ŋkeke eve megbe, woadem asi eye woaklãm ɖe ati ŋuti.”
After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.
3 Le ɣeyiɣi ma tututu me la, Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo kple Yudea dumegã bubuwo kpe ta ɖe nunɔlagãtɔ, Kayafa ƒe aƒe me,
Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.
4 be yewoade ŋugble tso ale si woawɔ alé Yesu le bebeme, awui la ŋuti.
And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.
5 Ke wo katã wolɔ̃ ɖe edzi be, “Míawɔ nu sia, gake menye le Ŋutitotoŋkeke la dzi o, ne menye nenema o la, zi atɔ le dukɔa me.”
But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.
6 Azɔ Yesu yi Betania, eye wòdze Simɔn anyidɔléla la ƒe aƒe me.
Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
7 Esi wonɔ nu ɖum la, nyɔnu aɖe va aƒea me kple ami ʋeʋĩ xɔasi aɖe, eye wòʋui tsɔ kɔ ɖe tame na Yesu.
There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.
8 Esia ve dɔ me na nusrɔ̃lawo ŋutɔ, eye wogblɔ be, “Nu ka ta wòle be ame natsɔ ga aƒu gbe ɖe yame alea? Enyo be wòawɔ esia?
But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 Ate ŋu adzra ami sia, akpɔ ga home gã aɖe atsɔ na ame dahewo ɖe!”
For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.
10 Yesu nya nu si bum nusrɔ̃lawo le, ale wògblɔ na wo be, “Migaɖe ɖeklemi kple nyɔnu la o, elabena nu nyui wònye wòwɔ nam.
But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.
11 Ame dahewo li kpli mi gbe sia gbe, ke nye la, nyemanɔ mia gbɔ tegbee o.
For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
12 Esi wònye be nye ku gbɔna kpuie ta la, ekɔ ami ʋeʋĩ la ɖe dzinye be wòadzra nye ŋutilã ɖo hena ɖiɖi.
For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.
13 Vavã, mele egblɔm na mi bena, nyɔnu sia ƒe ŋkɔ mele bubu ge akpɔ o, elabena woagblɔ nu si wòwɔ la afia le xexea me godoo afi sia afi si woagblɔ nyanyui la le ko.”
Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.
14 Le nyadzɔdzɔ sia megbe la, Yuda Iskariɔt, nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka yi ɖe nunɔlagãwo gbɔ,
Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,
15 eye wòbia be, “Ho neni miaxe nam nenye be mede Yesu asi na mi?” Enumake woxlẽ klosaloga blaetɔ̃ tsɔ de asi nɛ.
What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.
16 Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, Yuda de asi mɔ si dzi wòato ade Yesu asi na nunɔlagãwo la didi me.
And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.
17 Le Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, nusrɔ̃lawo te ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wobiae be, “Afi ka míele Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖu ge le?”
Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?
18 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ne miege ɖe dua me teti ko la, miado go ŋutsu aɖe. Migblɔ nɛ be, ‘Míaƒe Nufiala ɖo mí ɖe gbɔwò be míagblɔ na wò be yeƒe ɣeyiɣi la ɖo azɔ, eya ta ye kple yeƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yewoava adze gbɔwò aɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la.’”
And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.
19 Nusrɔ̃lawo wɔ ɖe Yesu ƒe gbe dzi pɛpɛpɛ, eye wodzra ɖo na Ŋutitotoŋkeke la ƒe nuɖuɖu le afi ma.
And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover.
20 Le fiẽ me la, Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ kplɔ̃ ŋu, eye woɖu nu.
Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;
21 Ke esi wonɔ nua ɖum la, Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Vavã, mele egblɔm na mi bena, mia dometɔ ɖeka adem asi be woawu.”
And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.
22 Nya sia ɖi ɖe nusrɔ̃lawo ŋutɔ, ale wolé blanui. Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tsi dzodzodzoe, eye wobiae be, “Aƒetɔ nyea? Aƒetɔ nyea?”
And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?
23 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ame si de asi nuɖugba me kplim lae le dɔ sia wɔ ge.
And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.
24 Ele na nye Amegbetɔ Vi la be maku abe ale si nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔe da ɖi xoxo ene, gake baba na ame si adem asi la. Le nyateƒe me la, nenye be womegaxa dzii o la, anyo nɛ wu sãa.”
The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.
25 Ke azɔ la, Yuda hã bia Yesu be, “Nufiala, nyee le nu sia wɔ gea?” Ke Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nɔvi, wò tututue le dɔ sia wɔ ge.”
And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.
26 Esi wonɔ nua ɖum la, Yesu tsɔ abolo ɖe asi. Edo gbe ɖa ɖe abolo la ta, eye wòŋe eme hetsɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo eye wògblɔ be, “Mixɔe ɖu. Esiae nye nye ŋutilã.”
And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body.
27 Emegbe la, etsɔ wainkplu la hã ɖe asi, do gbe ɖa ɖe eta, eye wòtsɔe na wo be woano. Egagblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Mi katã mixɔe no,
And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,
28 esiae nye nye ʋu si wotsɔ tre nubabla yeye la nui. Wokɔe ɖi be ame geɖe nakpɔ nu vɔ̃ tsɔtsɔke to eme.”
Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.
29 Yesu yi edzi gblɔ na eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Medi be mianya nyuie be nyemegale wain sia no ge akpɔ o va se ɖe esime nye kple miawo miaganoe yeyee le Fofonye ƒe fiaɖuƒe la me.”
But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 Esi Yesu ƒo nu vɔ la, wo katã wodzi ha, da akpe na Mawu eye wodo go yi Amito la dzi.
And after a song of praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.
31 Azɔ Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Le egbe ƒe zã sia me la, mi katã miakaka le ŋunye, elabena woŋlɔe ɖe mawunya me be, “‘Mele alẽkplɔla la ƒo ge, eye alẽawo katã akaka gbẽe.’
Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.
32 Gake ne mefɔ ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la, madze mia ŋgɔ ayi Galilea, afi si mado go mi le.”
But after I am come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Petro tɔ asi akɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne ame sia ame ka hlẽ le ŋuwò hã la, nye ya nyemadzo le gbɔwò gbeɖegbeɖe o.”
But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away.
34 Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nɔvi, le nyateƒe me la, kasia koklo naku atɔ le fɔŋli me la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃.”
Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
35 Petro gaɖo eŋu kple kakaɖedzi be, “Ke ɖeko maku hafi agbe nu le gbɔwò.” Azɔ nusrɔ̃la mamlɛawo hã ɖe adzɔgbe nenema.
Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.
36 Ke Yesu kplɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yi ɖe abɔ aɖe si woyɔna be Getsemane la me, eye wògblɔ na wo be woanɔ anyi alala ye vie. Esi wonɔ elalam la, ezɔ yi ŋgɔ vie be yeado gbe ɖa.
Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.
37 Ekplɔ Petro kple Zebedeo ƒe vi eveawo siwo nye Yohanes kple Yakobo la ɖe asi. Esi wova ɖo teƒea la, vevesese helĩhelĩ kple nuxaxa yɔ eme.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.
38 Ale wògblɔ na wo be, “Nye lãme gbɔdzɔ ŋutɔ, eye nye dzi le nu xam heyi ku me ke, eya ta minɔ afi sia, eye mianɔ ŋudzɔ kplim.”
Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.
39 Yesu zɔ yi ŋgɔ vie, dze klo, eye wòtsyɔ mo anyi. Azɔ edo gbe ɖa be, “Fofonye, ne anɔ bɔbɔe la, ekema ɖe agba sia ɖa le dzinye. Gake menye ale si medi o, ke boŋ wò lɔlɔ̃nu nava eme.”
And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.
40 Yesu trɔ va nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo gbɔ, kasia ekpɔ be wonɔ alɔ̃ dɔm bɔkɔɔ. Eyɔ Petro, eye wòbiae be, “Ke miate ŋu anɔ ŋu kplim gaƒoƒo ɖeka teti hã oa?
And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?
41 Minɔ ŋudzɔ, eye mido gbe ɖa, ne menye nenema o la, tetekpɔ aɖu mia dzi, elabena gbɔgbɔ la le lɔlɔ̃m, gake ŋutilã ya gbɔdzɔ.”
Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.
42 Yesu gagblẽ nusrɔ̃la etɔ̃awo ɖi heyi ɖado gbe ɖa ake be, “Fofo, nenye be ele be matsɔ agba sia kokoko la, ekema mawɔ wò lɔlɔ̃nu.”
Again, a second time he went away, and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure be done.
43 Esi wògatrɔ va la, ekpɔ nusrɔ̃lawo woganɔ alɔ̃ dɔm ko, elabena alɔ̃ bla woƒe ŋkuwo.
And he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.
44 Etrɔ le wo gbɔ gayi ɖado gbe ɖa zi etɔ̃lia.
And he went away from them again, and a third time said the same prayer.
45 Azɔ etrɔ va nusrɔ̃lawo gbɔ, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miate ŋu adɔ alɔ̃ azɔ faa, eye miadzudzɔ mia ɖokuiwo, gake nɔviwo, ɣeyiɣi la de be woade nye Amegbetɔ Vi la asi na nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.
46 Mitso mídzo! Mikpɔ ɖa, ame si le denye ge asi lae nye ema gbɔna.”
Up, let us be going: see, he who gives me up is near.
47 Esi wònɔ nu ƒom la, Yuda, ame si nye nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo dometɔ ɖeka lae nye ekem le ŋgɔ na ameha gã aɖe, eye wozɔ gbɔna. Ameha siawo nye ame dɔdɔwo tso Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo kple dumegãwo gbɔ, eye wolé yiwo kple kpowo ɖe asi gbɔna.
And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.
48 Yuda ɖo dzesi ɖi na wo eye wògblɔ na wo do ŋgɔ be ame si dim wole lae nye ame si yeado gbe na, eye yeagbugbɔ nu na la.
Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him.
49 Yuda zɔ tẽe yi ɖe Yesu gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Medo gbe na wò, Nufiala,” eye wògbugbɔ nu nɛ.
And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.
50 Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nɔvi, yi wò dɔ si ta nèva ɖo la dzi.” Kasia amewo dze Yesu dzi, eye wolée.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Enumake Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖe eƒe yi le aku me, eye wòkpa to na Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagã ƒe subɔla ɖeka.
And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.
52 Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègawɔ wò yi ŋu dɔ o; tsɔe de aku me, elabena ame siwo wɔa yi ŋu dɔ la hã kpɔa ku le yi nu.
Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.
53 Alo mènya be mate ŋu abia Fofonye, eye wòana mawudɔla akpeakpewo mí be woadzɔ mía ŋu oa?
Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?
54 Ke ne mewɔ nenema ɖe, aleke nya siwo woŋlɔ da ɖi le mawunya me siwo le dzɔdzɔm fifia hã la awɔ hafi ava eme?”
But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?
55 Azɔ Yesu trɔ ɖe amehawo gbɔ ƒo nu na wo be, “Nu vɔ̃ wɔla kple hlɔ̃dola menye hafi mietsɔ yiwo kple kpowo ɖe asi va be yewoaléma? Menɔ mia dome, gblɔ nya le miaƒe gbedoxɔ me gbe sia gbe, ke miete ŋu wɔ naneke o.
In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not.
56 Nyateƒe, nu siawo katã le dzɔdzɔm tututu abe ale si nyagblɔɖilawo ŋlɔe da ɖi le mawunya la me ene.” Ke eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo katã si dzo.
But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.
57 Ameha la kplɔ Yesu yi ɖe nunɔlagã Kayafa ƒe aƒe me, afi si agbalẽfialawo kple dumegãwo katã va ƒo ƒu ɖo la.
And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.
58 Petro nɔ adzɔge ʋĩi le Yesu yome. Esi wòva ɖo nunɔlagã la ƒe aƒe me la, eto nu xa dzaa ge ɖe aƒea me, eye wòyi ɖanɔ anyi ɖe subɔlawo dome be yeakpɔ nu si adzɔ ɖe Yesu dzi la ɖa.
But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Nunɔlagãwo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃la gãwo nɔ nutsotso aɖewo dim le Yesu ŋu be yewoatsɔ abu fɔe eye yewoatso kufia nɛ,
Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;
60 gake womete ŋu kpɔ nutsotso aɖeke o, togbɔ be ame geɖewo lɔ̃ ɖi aʋatsoɖase le eŋu hã.
And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.
61 Le nuwuwu la, ame eve va gblɔ be, “Ame sia gblɔ be, ‘mate ŋu agbã Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ sia agatui le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe.’”
But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.
62 Enumake Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagã la tsi tsitre hebia Yesu be, “Ɖe nèle gbegbem be yemaɖo nutsotso gbogbo siwo wotsɔ ɖe ŋuwò la ƒe ɖeke ŋu oa? Nya aɖeke mele asiwò nàtsɔ aʋli ɖokuiwò tae oa?”
And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?
63 Ke Yesu meke nu o. Nunɔlagã la yi edzi gblɔ nɛ be, “Meta Mawu gbagbe la, nenye wòe nye Kristo, Mawu ƒe Vi la la, ekema gblɔe mise fifia.”
But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Azɔ Yesu ɖo eŋu gblɔ be, “Ɛ̃, nye tututue, eye madidi o la, miakpɔ nye Amegbetɔ Vi la manɔ Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe nuɖusime, eye matrɔ ava le dziƒo ƒe lilikpowo me.”
Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
65 Eƒe nya sia tɔ dzi na Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagã la, ale woƒu asi akɔta gblɔ be, “Mise ɖa, ame sia gblɔ busunya. Megahiã be ame bubu aɖeke naɖi ɖase o. Mí katã míese eƒe numegbe xoxo.
Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:
66 Nu kae nye miaƒe nyametsotso?” Ameha gã la do ɣli be, “Edze na ku, ele be woawui!”
What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.
67 Azɔ amewo ƒu du ɖe edzi, ɖe ta ɖe eŋu, eye ɖewo tu kɔe, ƒo tome nɛ
Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,
68 hegblɔ nɛ be, “Ne wòe nye Kristo la la, ekema tɔ asi ame si ƒo wò to megbe la dzi ne míakpɔ.”
Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!
69 Le ɣeyiɣi siawo katã me la, Petro ganɔ amehawo dome le xexe. Dɔlanyɔnuvi dzaa aɖe te ɖe eŋu gblɔ nɛ be, “Wò hã ènɔ Yesu Galileatɔ la yome.”
Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.
70 Ke Petro sẽ nu le wo katã ƒe ŋkume be, “Nyemenya naneke le nu si gblɔm nèle la ŋu o.”
But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge of what you say.
71 Emegbe la, Petro do ɖe agboa nu, eye nyɔnuvi bubu aɖe hã gakpɔ Petro le amehawo dome, eye wògblɔ na ame siwo le afi ma be, “Ame sia hã nɔ Yesu Nazaretitɔ la ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dome.”
And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.
72 Azɔ Petro ka atam be, “Nyemenya ŋutsu la le afi aɖeke kura o!”
And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man.
73 Ke eteƒe medidi o la, ame siwo tsi tsitre ɖe afi ma la te ɖe Petro ŋu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nɔvi, míenya be Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka nènye. Wò nuƒo hã sɔ kple Galileatɔwo tɔ pɛpɛpɛ.”
And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.
74 Azɔ Petro do ɣli, ka atam gblɔ be, “Ne menya ame sia tututu la, ekema nane nedzɔ ɖe dzinye.” Kasia Petro naɖe nu le nya la me la, koklo ku atɔ “kɔkɔliakɔe.”
Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.
75 Enumake Petro ɖo ŋku nya si Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Hafi koklo naku atɔ la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃” la dzi. Ale wòdo go, eye wòfa avi vevie.
And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.
