< 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.
And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;
2 Emegbe la, wode gae, eye wokplɔe yi na Pilato, Romatɔwo ƒe mɔmefia.
and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up 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 — he who delivered him up — having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,
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.”
'I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;' and they said, 'What — to us? thou shalt see!'
5 Ale Yuda tsɔ ga la ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba le gbedoxɔ la me, eye wòyi ɖade ka ve na eɖokui.
and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle 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 having taken the silverlings, said, 'It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing 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 having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;
8 Eya ta woyɔa ameɖiƒe sia be, “Ʋubɔ” va se ɖe egbe.
therefore was that field called, '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 spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,
10 ƒle abɔe tso zemelawo si abe ale si Aƒetɔ la gblɔ nam ene” la nu.
and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to 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 did question him, saying, 'Art thou the king of the Jews!' And Jesus said to 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 in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,
13 Pilato gabiae be, “Mèle nya gbogbo siwo gblɔm wole ɖe ŋutiwò la sem oa?”
then saith Pilate to him, 'Dost thou not hear 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 did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder 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.
And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,
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 noted 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?”
they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who 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 had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.
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.”
And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, 'Nothing — to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-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.
And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might 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!”
and the governor answering said to them, 'Which of the two will ye [that] I shall release to 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 saith to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let 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 did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let 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!”
And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye — ye shall see;'
25 Ameha la do ɣli sesĩe be, “Eƒe ʋukɔkɔɖi ƒe tohehe neva mí kple mía viwo dzi faa!”
and all the people answering said, 'His blood [is] upon us, and upon 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 did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may 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 having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;
28 Woɖe eƒe awu siwo wòdo la le eŋuti, eye wotsɔ awu dzĩ do nɛ,
and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,
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 having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, 'Hail, the king of the Jews.'
30 Azɔ la, wotu ta ɖe eŋuti, eye woxɔ atikplɔ la le esi hetsɔ ƒo dzodome nɛ sesĩe.
And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his 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 when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, 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 coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;
33 Ale wova ɖo teƒe si woyɔna be Golgata si gɔmee nye “Ametakoli Togbɛ.”
and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called 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 to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, 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 having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'
36 Esia megbe la, wonɔ anyi ɖe afi ma henɔ eŋu dzɔm.
and sitting down, they were watching him there,
37 Woŋlɔ nu klã ɖe eƒe atitsoga la tame be, Ame siae nye Yesu, Yudatɔwo ƒe Fia la.
and they put 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 crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,
39 Ame siwo to teƒea va yina la dzui hegblɔ nya vlo geɖewo ɖe eŋuti. Woʋuʋua ta fewuɖutɔe be,
and those passing by were speaking evil of 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 art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building [it], save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'
41 Nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo kple dumegã siwo le afi ma la ɖu fewu le eŋu be,
And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, 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.
'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now 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 hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said — Son of God I am;'
44 Nenema ke adzodala siwo woklã ɖe ati ŋuti kpe ɖe eŋuti la hã dzui heɖe alɔme le eŋuti.
with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.
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.
And from the sixth hour darkness came 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 out with a great voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake 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 certain of those standing there having heard, said — 'Elijah he doth call;'
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 immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving 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.”
but the rest said, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come — about to save him.'
50 Yesu gado ɣli sesĩe ake. Etsɔ eƒe gbɔgbɔ la na, eye wòku kpoo.
And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;
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 lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,
52 eye yɔdowo nu ʋu, eye ame kɔkɔe geɖe siwo ku la ƒe ŋutilã gagbɔ agbe.
and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, 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 having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to 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.”
And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.'
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 there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to 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 Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Esi fiẽ ɖo la, kesinɔtɔ aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Yosef, tso Arimatia, ame si trɔ zu Yesu yomedzelawo dometɔ ɖeka la,
And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,
58 yi ɖe Pilato gbɔ hebia Yesu ƒe ŋutilã kukua. Pilato ɖe gbe be woakɔ Yesu ƒe ŋutilã kuku la nɛ.
he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.
59 Yosef xɔ ame kuku la, eye wòtsɔ aklala yeye aɖe si fu tititi la xatsa ɖe eŋuti nyuie,
And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,
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 new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;
61 Maria Magdalatɔ kple Maria evelia wonɔ anyi henɔ ale si woɖi Yesu kple afi si woɖi ɖo la kpɔm.
and there were there Mary the 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,
And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,
63 eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, alakpatɔ ma gblɔ kpɔ be, ‘Matsi tsitre le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe,’
saying, 'Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do 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, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit 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.”
And Pilate said to them, 'Ye have a watch, go away, make secure — as ye have known;'
66 Ale wotre yɔdo la nu hetsɔ asrafowo ɖo afi ma be woadzɔ eŋuti.
and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.
