< 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 chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2 Emegbe la, wode gae, eye wokplɔe yi na Pilato, Romatɔwo ƒe mɔmefia.
And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
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 Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests 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 have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].
5 Ale Yuda tsɔ ga la ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba le gbedoxɔ la me, eye wòyi ɖade ka ve na eɖokui.
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
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 chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
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 took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
8 Eya ta woyɔa ameɖiƒe sia be, “Ʋubɔ” va se ɖe egbe.
Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto 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 Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
10 ƒle abɔe tso zemelawo si abe ale si Aƒetɔ la gblɔ nam ene” la nu.
And gave them for the potter’s field, 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 Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
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 chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Pilato gabiae be, “Mèle nya gbogbo siwo gblɔm wole ɖe ŋutiwò la sem oa?”
Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14 Ke Yesu meɖo nya la ŋu nɛ o, eye esia wɔ nuku na Pilato ŋutɔ.
And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled 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.
Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto 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?”
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus 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 knew that for envy they had delivered 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.”
When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because 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 chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
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!”
The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? 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 saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? [They] all say unto 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!”
And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out 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 could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [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 said, His blood [be] on us, 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.
Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered [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 soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers].
28 Woɖe eƒe awu siwo wòdo la le eŋuti, eye wotsɔ awu dzĩ do nɛ,
And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet 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 when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put [it] upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 Azɔ la, wotu ta ɖe eŋuti, eye woxɔ atikplɔ la le esi hetsɔ ƒo dzodome nɛ sesĩe.
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, 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.
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify [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, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33 Ale wova ɖo teƒe si woyɔna be Golgata si gɔmee nye “Ametakoli Togbɛ.”
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 Asrafoawo tsɔ wain si me wode gbe siwo vena la nɛ be wòano, gake esi wòɖɔe kpɔ la, egbe enono.
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted [thereof], he would not drink.
35 Esi woklãe ɖe atitsoga ŋuti vɔ la, asrafoawo da akɔ ɖe eƒe awuwo dzi be wòazu ame si ɖu dzi la tɔ.
And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 Esia megbe la, wonɔ anyi ɖe afi ma henɔ eŋu dzɔm.
And sitting down they watched him there;
37 Woŋlɔ nu klã ɖe eƒe atitsoga la tame be, Ame siae nye Yesu, Yudatɔwo ƒe Fia la.
And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Ŋdi ma ke la, woklã adzodala eve hã ɖe ati ŋuti le Yesu ƒe axa eveawo dzi.
Then were there two thieves 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 reviled him, wagging their heads,
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 the temple, and buildest [it] in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo kple dumegã siwo le afi ma la ɖu fewu le eŋu be,
Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, 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 saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe 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 deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 Nenema ke adzodala siwo woklã ɖe ati ŋuti kpe ɖe eŋuti la hã dzui heɖe alɔme le eŋuti.
The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same 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 the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
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 the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, 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.
Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man] calleth for 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 took a spunge, and filled [it] with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 Ke ame bubuwo gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe asi le eŋuti ne míakpɔe ɖa be Eliya ava ɖee le atia ŋuti hã.”
The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 Yesu gado ɣli sesĩe ake. Etsɔ eƒe gbɔgbɔ la na, eye wòku kpoo.
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up 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 veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 eye yɔdowo nu ʋu, eye ame kɔkɔe geɖe siwo ku la ƒe ŋutilã gagbɔ agbe.
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints 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 graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto 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.”
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son 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 afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto 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 which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
57 Esi fiẽ ɖo la, kesinɔtɔ aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Yosef, tso Arimatia, ame si trɔ zu Yesu yomedzelawo dometɔ ɖeka la,
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ 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 begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59 Yosef xɔ ame kuku la, eye wòtsɔ aklala yeye aɖe si fu tititi la xatsa ɖe eŋuti nyuie,
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen 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 laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door 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 Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Eye le dzadzraɖoŋkeke ƒe ŋufɔke dzi la, nunɔlagãwo kple Farisitɔwo yi ɖe Pilato gbɔ,
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, alakpatɔ ma gblɔ kpɔ be, ‘Matsi tsitre le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe,’
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
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 until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
65 Pilato ɖo nya la ŋu na wo be, “Mikplɔ asrafo siawo yi ne woadzɔ yɔdo la ŋu nyuie.”
Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make [it] as sure as ye can.
66 Ale wotre yɔdo la nu hetsɔ asrafowo ɖo afi ma be woadzɔ eŋuti.
So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
