Mateo 27
1 Esi ŋu ke la, nunɔlagãwo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegã bubuwo kpe ta be yewoade ŋugble le ale si woawɔ able Romatɔwo ƒe dziɖuɖua nu ne woatso kufia na Yesu la ŋuti.
When the morning was come, all the chiefe Priests, and the elders of the people tooke counsell against Iesus, to put him to death,
2 Emegbe la, wode gae, eye wokplɔe yi na Pilato, Romatɔwo ƒe mɔmefia.
And led him away bounde, and deliuered him vnto Pontius Pilate the gouernour.
3 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yuda, ame si de Yesu asi la, kpɔ be wotso kufia nɛ. Eƒe susu trɔ, eye wòvee vevie be wòwɔ esia, eya ta egbugbɔ ga si wòxɔ le nunɔlagãwo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo si la yi na wo.
Then when Iudas which betraied him, sawe that hee was condemned, hee repented himselfe, and brought againe the thirtie pieces of siluer to the chiefe Priestes, and Elders,
4 Egblɔ na wo be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃, elabena mede ame maɖifɔ asi.” Ke woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wò nyae nye ema, ɖeke meka mí o.”
Saying, I haue sinned, betraying the innocent bloud. But they sayde, What is that to vs? see thou to it.
5 Ale Yuda tsɔ ga la ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba le gbedoxɔ la me, eye wòyi ɖade ka ve na eɖokui.
And when hee had cast downe the siluer pieces in the Temple, hee departed, and went, and hanged himselfe.
6 Nunɔlagãwo va fɔ ga la le anyigba, eye wogblɔ be, “Míate ŋu atsɔ ga sia ade nudzɔɖaka la me o, elabena etsi tsitre ɖe míaƒe sewo ŋu be, míaxɔ ga si woxe ɖe ame aɖe ƒe ku ta la.”
And the chiefe Priestes tooke the siluer pieces, and sayde, It is not lawfull for vs to put them into the treasure, because it is the price of bloud.
7 Mlɔeba la, woɖoe be yewoatsɔ ga la aƒle abɔ aɖe si le afi si zemelawo kaa anyi le la, eye yewoatrɔe wòazu ameɖiƒe na amedzro siwo ku le Yerusalem la.
And they tooke counsell, and bought with them a potters fielde, for the buriall of strangers.
8 Eya ta woyɔa ameɖiƒe sia be, “Ʋubɔ” va se ɖe egbe.
Wherefore that field is called, The field of bloud, vntill this day.
9 Esia wu nya si Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia gblɔ ɖi be, “Wotsɔ klosaloga blaetɔ̃ si wòxɔ le Israelviwo gbɔ la
(Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremias the Prophet, saying, And they tooke thirtie siluer pieces, ye price of him that was valued, whom they of ye children of Israel valued.
10 ƒle abɔe tso zemelawo si abe ale si Aƒetɔ la gblɔ nam ene” la nu.
And they gaue them for the potters fielde, as the Lord appointed me.)
11 Azɔ la, Yesu tsi tsitre ɖe Pilato, Roma dziɖuɖu la ƒe mɔmefia ƒe ŋkume. Gɔvina la biae be, “Wòe nye Yudatɔwo ƒe fia la?” Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, abe ale si miegblɔe ene.”
And Iesus stood before ye gouernour, and the gouernour asked him, saying, Art thou that King of the Iewes? Iesus said vnto him, Thou sayest it.
12 Nunɔlagãwo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo tsɔ nya geɖewo wɔ nutsotsoe ɖe Yesu ŋuti, gake ezi ɖoɖoe kpoo. Meɖo nya ɖeka pɛ hã ŋu o.
And when he was accused of the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, he answered nothing.
13 Pilato gabiae be, “Mèle nya gbogbo siwo gblɔm wole ɖe ŋutiwò la sem oa?”
Then saide Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not howe many things they lay against thee?
14 Ke Yesu meɖo nya la ŋu nɛ o, eye esia wɔ nuku na Pilato ŋutɔ.
But he answered him not to one worde, in so much that the gouernour marueiled greatly.
15 Enye mɔmefia la ƒe ɖoɖo be ne Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖo edzi ƒe sia ƒe la, yeaɖe asi le Yudatɔ gamenɔla si wodi la ŋuti.
Nowe at the feast, the gouernour was wont to deliuer vnto the people a prisoner whom they would.
16 Le ƒe sia me la, gamenɔla aɖe li. Ame sia nye ame baɖa kple tagbɔsesẽtɔ. Eƒe ŋkɔe nye Yesu Barabas.
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Esi ameha la ɖi anyi ɖe Pilato ƒe xɔxɔnu le ŋdi ma la, ebia wo be, “Ame ka ŋutie maɖe asi le na mi? Barabas loo alo Yesu, miaƒe Kristo la?”
When they were then gathered together, Pilate said vnto the, Whether will ye that I let loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus which is called Christ?
18 Elabena Pilato nya nyuie be ale si ame geɖewo dze Yesu yomee la koe biã ŋu na Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo, eya ta wolée ɖo.
(For he knewe well, that for enuie they had deliuered him.
19 Ke esi wònɔ ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpui la dzi la, srɔ̃a ɖo gbedeasi sia ɖee be, “Mègaka asi ame dzɔdzɔe ma ŋuti o, elabena etsɔ si va yi ƒe zã la, meku drɔ̃e dziŋɔ aɖe tso eŋuti.”
Also when he was set downe vpon the iudgement seate, his wife sent to him, saying, Haue thou nothing to do with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame by reason of him.)
20 Azɔ la, nunɔlagãwo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo ble ameha la nu be woabia be woaɖe asi le Barabas ŋuti na yewo, eye woawu Yesu.
But the chiefe Priestes and the Elders had persuaded the people that they shoulde aske Barabbas, and should destroy Iesus.
21 Eya ta esi mɔmefia la gabia be, “Ame eve siawo dometɔ ka ŋutie maɖe asi le na mi?” La, ameha la do ɣli sesĩe be, “Barabas!”
Then the gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I let loose vnto you? And they said, Barabbas.
22 Pilato bia wo be, “Ekema nu ka mawɔ kple Yesu, miaƒe Kristo la?” Wodo ɣli hoo be, “Klãe ɖe ati ŋuti!”
Pilate said vnto them, What shall I do then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all said to him, Let him be crucified.
23 Pilato gabia wo be, “Nu vɔ̃ ka wòwɔ?” Ke ameawo gado ɣli sesĩe wu tsã be, “Klãe ɖe ati ŋuti!”
Then saide the gouernour, But what euill hath he done? Then they cryed the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 Esi Pilato kpɔ be ameawo ɖo kplikpaa, eye hoowɔwɔ gã aɖe le egɔme dzem la, ena woku tsi ɖe gagbɛ me vɛ nɛ, ale wòklɔ asi le ameha la ƒe ŋkume gblɔ be, “Ame nyui sia ƒe ʋukɔkɔɖi metso gbɔnye o; ke boŋ etso mia gbɔ!”
When Pilate saw that he auailed nothing, but that more tumult was made, he tooke water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this iust man: looke you to it.
25 Ameha la do ɣli sesĩe be, “Eƒe ʋukɔkɔɖi ƒe tohehe neva mí kple mía viwo dzi faa!”
Then answered all the people, and saide, His bloud be on vs, and on our children.
26 Ale Pilato ɖe asi le Barabas ŋuti na wo. Ena woƒo Yesu, eye esi woƒoe vɔ la, eɖe asi le eŋu na Romasrafowo be woakplɔe aɖaklã ɖe ati ŋuti.
Thus let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered him to be crucified.
27 Gbã la, asrafoawo kplɔe yi ɖe afi si aʋawɔnuwo nɔna la, eye asrafoha la katã va ƒo xlãe.
Then the souldiers of the gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered about him the whole band,
28 Woɖe eƒe awu siwo wòdo la le eŋuti, eye wotsɔ awu dzĩ do nɛ,
And they stripped him, and put about him a skarlet robe,
29 eye wotsɔ ŋu didi aɖewo wɔ fiakuku heɖɔ nɛ, eye wotsɔ fiatikplɔ hã de eƒe nuɖusime me. Wodzea klo ɖe eŋkume fewuɖutɔe, eye wogblɔna be, “Míedo gbe na wò, Yudatɔwo ƒe fia.”
And platted a crowne of thornes, and put it vpon his head, and a reede in his right hand, and bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, God saue thee King of the Iewes,
30 Azɔ la, wotu ta ɖe eŋuti, eye woxɔ atikplɔ la le esi hetsɔ ƒo dzodome nɛ sesĩe.
And spitted vpon him, and tooke a reede, and smote him on the head.
31 Esi wowu fewuɖuɖu la nu la, woɖe awu dzĩ la le eŋuti, eye wotsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe awuwo do nɛ, eye wokplɔe dzoe yina kaklã ge ɖe ati ŋuti.
Thus when they had mocked him, they tooke the robe from him, and put his owne rayment on him, and led him away to crucifie him.
32 Esi woyina eklã ge ɖe atitsoga ŋuti la, wodo go ŋutsu aɖe si tso Kirene le Afrika. Eŋkɔe nye Simɔn, eye wozi edzi be wòatsɔ atitsoga la akpe Yesu.
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to beare his crosse.
33 Ale wova ɖo teƒe si woyɔna be Golgata si gɔmee nye “Ametakoli Togbɛ.”
And when they came vnto the place called Golgotha, (that is to say, the place of dead mens skulles)
34 Asrafoawo tsɔ wain si me wode gbe siwo vena la nɛ be wòano, gake esi wòɖɔe kpɔ la, egbe enono.
They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drinke.
35 Esi woklãe ɖe atitsoga ŋuti vɔ la, asrafoawo da akɔ ɖe eƒe awuwo dzi be wòazu ame si ɖu dzi la tɔ.
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lottes, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, They deuided my garments among them, and vpon my vesture did cast lottes.
36 Esia megbe la, wonɔ anyi ɖe afi ma henɔ eŋu dzɔm.
And they sate, and watched him there.
37 Woŋlɔ nu klã ɖe eƒe atitsoga la tame be, Ame siae nye Yesu, Yudatɔwo ƒe Fia la.
They set vp also ouer his head his cause written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEVVES.
38 Ŋdi ma ke la, woklã adzodala eve hã ɖe ati ŋuti le Yesu ƒe axa eveawo dzi.
And there were two theeues crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 Ame siwo to teƒea va yina la dzui hegblɔ nya vlo geɖewo ɖe eŋuti. Woʋuʋua ta fewuɖutɔe be,
And they that passed by, reuiled him, wagging their heades,
40 “Ke alee wòle! Àte ŋu agbã gbedoxɔ la, agbugbɔ atui le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe. Màte ŋui oa? Ne àte ŋui, eye nènye Mawu ƒe Vi tututu la, ɖe ɖokuiwò le atitsoga la ŋuti!”
And saying, Thou that destroyest ye Temple, and buildest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe: if thou be ye Sonne of God, come downe from ye crosse.
41 Nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo kple dumegã siwo le afi ma la ɖu fewu le eŋu be,
Likewise also the hie Priests mocking him, with the Scribes, and Elders, and Pharises, said,
42 “Èɖe ame bubuwo, gake màte ŋu aɖe ɖokuiwò o! Ke wò boŋue nye Israel ƒe fia la? Nenye wòe la, ɖi le atitsoga la ŋuti, ekema míaxɔ dziwò ase.
He saued others, but he cannot saue him selfe: if he be ye King of Israel, let him now come downe from ye crosse, and we will beleeue in him.
43 Ebe yexɔ Mawu dzi se; Mawu neɖo kpe eƒe xɔse la dzi ne wòaɖee le atia ŋuti. Alo menye eyae gblɔ be, ‘Mawu ƒe Vi menye’ oa?”
He trusted in God, let him deliuer him nowe, if he will haue him: for he saide, I am the Sonne of God.
44 Nenema ke adzodala siwo woklã ɖe ati ŋuti kpe ɖe eŋuti la hã dzui heɖe alɔme le eŋuti.
The selfe same thing also ye theeues which were crucified with him, cast in his teeth.
45 Le ŋdɔ ma la, zãdokeli do ɖe anyigba la katã dzi gaƒoƒo etɔ̃ sɔŋ, tso ŋdɔ ga wuieve va se ɖe ɣetrɔ ga etɔ̃ me.
Now from ye sixt houre was there darkenesse ouer all the land, vnto the ninth houre.
46 Le ɣetrɔ ga etɔ̃ me la, Yesu do ɣli sesĩe be, “Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani?” (si gɔmee nye, “Nye Mawu, nye Mawu, nu ka ŋuti nègblẽm ɖi mahã?”).
And about ye ninth houre Iesus cryed with a loud voyce, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Nukpɔla siwo le afi ma la dometɔ aɖewo mese nya si wògblɔ la gɔme nyuie o, eye wobu be Eliya yɔm wòle.
And some of them that stoode there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elias.
48 Ameawo dometɔ ɖeka ƒu du ɖatsɔ aha tsitsi, eye wòkɔe ɖe akutsa tɔxɛ aɖe me. Etɔ akutsa la ɖe ati nu, eye wòtsɔe ɖo nu na Yesu.
And straightway one of them ran, and tooke a spondge, and filled it with vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke.
49 Ke ame bubuwo gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe asi le eŋuti ne míakpɔe ɖa be Eliya ava ɖee le atia ŋuti hã.”
Other said, Let be: let vs see, if Elias wil come and saue him.
50 Yesu gado ɣli sesĩe ake. Etsɔ eƒe gbɔgbɔ la na, eye wòku kpoo.
Then Iesus cryed againe with a loude voyce, and yeelded vp the ghost.
51 Eye kpɔ ɖa, xɔmetsovɔ si wotsɔ xe Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe le gbedoxɔ me la ma ɖe eve enumake tso tame va se ɖe egɔme, eye anyigba ʋuʋu kpekpekpe; agakpe gãwo hã gbã,
And behold, the vayle of the Temple was rent in twaine, from the top to the bottome, and the earth did quake, and the stones were cloue.
52 eye yɔdowo nu ʋu, eye ame kɔkɔe geɖe siwo ku la ƒe ŋutilã gagbɔ agbe.
And the graues did open themselues, and many bodies of the Saintes, which slept, arose,
53 Le Yesu ƒe tsitretsitsi megbe la, wodo le woƒe yɔdoawo me, eye woyi ɖe du kɔkɔe la me, afi si woɖe wo ɖokuiwo fia ame geɖewo le.
And came out of the graues after his resurrection, and went into the holy citie, and appeared vnto many.
54 Esi asrafo siwo klãe ɖe atia ŋuti kple woƒe amegãwo kpɔ nu siwo va dzɔ kple ale si anyigba ʋuʋui la, ŋɔdzi kple vɔvɔ̃ lé wo, eye wogblɔ be, “Ame sia nye Mawu ƒe Vi vavã.”
When the Centurion, and they that were with him watching Iesus, saw the earthquake, and the thinges that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truely this was the Sonne of God.
55 Nyɔnu siwo kplɔ Yesu ɖo tso Galilea be yewoava kpɔ eƒe hiahiãwo gbɔ nɛ le Yerusalem la le nu siwo katã le dzɔdzɔm la kpɔm tso adzɔge.
And many women were there, beholding him a farre off, which had folowed Iesus from Galile, ministring vnto him.
56 Ame siawo dometɔ aɖewoe nye Maria Magdalatɔ, Maria si nye Yakobo kple Yosef dada kpakple Yohanes kple Yakobo siwo nye Zebedeo ƒe viwo la dada.
Among whom was Marie Magdalene, and Marie the mother of Iames, and Ioses, and the mother of Zebedeus sonnes.
57 Esi fiẽ ɖo la, kesinɔtɔ aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Yosef, tso Arimatia, ame si trɔ zu Yesu yomedzelawo dometɔ ɖeka la,
And when the euen was come, there came a riche man of Arimathea, named Ioseph, who had also himselfe bene Iesus disciple.
58 yi ɖe Pilato gbɔ hebia Yesu ƒe ŋutilã kukua. Pilato ɖe gbe be woakɔ Yesu ƒe ŋutilã kuku la nɛ.
He went to Pilate, and asked ye body of Iesus. Then Pilate commanded ye body to be deliuered.
59 Yosef xɔ ame kuku la, eye wòtsɔ aklala yeye aɖe si fu tititi la xatsa ɖe eŋuti nyuie,
So Ioseph tooke the body, and wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth,
60 eye wòkɔe mlɔ yɔdo si eya ŋutɔ ɖe ɖe agakpewo dome la me hemli kpe gã aɖe tu ɖe yɔdo la nu.
And put it in his new tombe, which he had hewen out in a rocke, and rolled a great stone to the doore of the sepulchre, and departed.
61 Maria Magdalatɔ kple Maria evelia wonɔ anyi henɔ ale si woɖi Yesu kple afi si woɖi ɖo la kpɔm.
And there was Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie sitting ouer against the sepulchre.
62 Eye le dzadzraɖoŋkeke ƒe ŋufɔke dzi la, nunɔlagãwo kple Farisitɔwo yi ɖe Pilato gbɔ,
Nowe the next day that followed the Preparation of the Sabbath, the hie Priestes and Pharises assembled to Pilate,
63 eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, alakpatɔ ma gblɔ kpɔ be, ‘Matsi tsitre le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe,’
And said, Syr, we remember that that deceiuer saide, while he was yet aliue, Within three dayes I will rise.
64 eya ta míedi be nàɖe gbe ne woatre yɔdo la nu va se ɖe ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe, ale be eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo mate ŋu ayi aɖafi eƒe ŋutilã kukua ahable amewo be etsi tsitre o. Nenye be nu sia va eme la, ekema nu si adzɔ fifia la, awu gbãtɔ.”
Command therefore, that the sepulchre be made sure vntill the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steale him away, and say vnto the people, He is risen from the dead: so shall the last errour be worse then the first.
65 Pilato ɖo nya la ŋu na wo be, “Mikplɔ asrafo siawo yi ne woadzɔ yɔdo la ŋu nyuie.”
Then Pilate saide vnto them, Ye haue a watch: goe, and make it sure as ye knowe.
66 Ale wotre yɔdo la nu hetsɔ asrafowo ɖo afi ma be woadzɔ eŋuti.
And they went, and made the sepulchre sure with the watch, and sealed the stone.
