< Mariko 14 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, gwatigaire o mĩthenya ĩĩrĩ nĩguo kũgĩe na Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka na kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho nĩmacaragia ũrĩa mangĩnyiitithia Jesũ na njĩra ya wara nĩguo mamũũrage.
It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.
2 Makiuga atĩrĩ, “No tũtingĩmũnyiita hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ, tondũ andũ mahota kũruta haaro.”
For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people."
3 Na rĩrĩa arĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩa Bethania kwa mũndũ wetagwo Simoni ũrĩa warĩ na mangũ, aikarĩte metha-inĩ akĩrĩa irio-rĩ, nĩhookire mũndũ-wa-nja arĩ na cuba ya maguta ma goro mũno na manungi wega. Akĩũraga cuba ĩyo na akĩmũitĩrĩria maguta macio mũtwe.
While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.
4 Andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ kuo makĩigua ũũru, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Maguta maya maitangwo ũguo nĩkĩ?
But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?
5 Maguta macio nĩmangĩendio mbeeca ikĩrĩte mũcara wa mũndũ wa mwaka mũgima nacio mbeeca icio iheo athĩĩni.” Magĩkũũma mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio marĩ na ũũru.
For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.
6 Nowe Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tiganai nake, mũramũtanga nĩkĩ? Nĩanjĩka ũndũ mwega mũno.
But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
7 Athĩĩni marĩkoragwo na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ciothe na no mũmateithie hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mũngĩenda. No niĩ mũtirĩkoragwo na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.
For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8 Anjĩka o ũrĩa angĩahota. Aitĩrĩria mwĩrĩ wakwa maguta o mbere nĩ ũndũ wa kũhaarĩria gũthikwo gwakwa.
She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
9 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, kũrĩa guothe Ũhoro-ũyũ-Mwega ũkaahunjagio thĩinĩ wa thĩ, ũguo eka nĩũkeeragwo andũ nĩgeetha aririkanagwo.”
Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Judasi Mũisikariota, ũmwe wa arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene agakunyanĩre Jesũ kũrĩ o.
Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
11 Nao magĩkena mũno maigua ũguo na makĩmwĩra nĩmekũmũhe mbeeca. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Judasi agĩcaria mweke wa kũmũneana kũrĩ o.
They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
12 Mũthenya wa mbere wa Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia, o ũrĩa wathĩnjagwo gatũrũme ka Bathaka-rĩ, arutwo a Jesũ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda tũthiĩ kũ tũkahaarĩrie nĩguo ũkarĩĩre irio cia Bathaka kuo?”
On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the Passover?"
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma arutwo ake eerĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũtoonye itũũra, na nĩ mũgũcemania na mũndũ ũkuuĩte ndigithũ ya maaĩ. Mũrũmĩrĩrei.
He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,
14 Kũrĩa egũtoonya mwĩre mwene nyũmba ĩyo atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrutani arooria atĩrĩ, nyũmba yakwa ya ageni ĩrĩ ha, harĩa ingĩrĩĩra irio cia Bathaka na arutwo akwa?’
and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
15 Nake nĩekũmuonia nyũmba nene ya igũrũ ĩkĩrĩtwo indo na ĩgathondekwo wega. Haarĩriai irio cia Bathaka iitũ kuo.”
He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make ready for us there."
16 Arutwo acio makiumagara, magĩtoonya itũũra, magĩkora maũndũ mahaana o ta ũrĩa Jesũ aamerĩte. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩhaarĩria irio cia Bathaka.
The disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 Na gwakinya hwaĩ-inĩ, Jesũ agĩkinya kuo marĩ na arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ.
When it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 Maikarĩte metha-inĩ makĩrĩa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũmwe wanyu nĩekũngunyanĩra, ũmwe wa arĩa mararĩĩanĩra na niĩ.”
And as they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me."
19 Makĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩeha mũno, na o ũmwe akamũũria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ hihi nĩ niĩ?”
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"
20 Jesũ akĩmacookeria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũmwe wanyu inyuĩ ikũmi na eerĩ, ũrĩa ũgũtobokanĩria mũgate mbakũri-inĩ hamwe na niĩ.
He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
21 Mũrũ wa Mũndũ egũthiĩ o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wake wandĩkĩtwo. No mũndũ ũrĩa ũgaakunyanĩra Mũrũ wa Mũndũ kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Nĩ kaba mũndũ ũcio atangĩaciarirwo.”
For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
22 Ningĩ o makĩrĩĩaga-rĩ, Jesũ akĩoya mũgate, agĩcookia ngaatho, agĩcooka akĩwenyũranga, akĩhe arutwo ake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Oyai; ũyũ nĩguo mwĩrĩ wakwa.”
As they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."
23 Agĩcooka akĩoya gĩkombe, agĩcookia ngaatho akĩmanengera, nao othe magĩkĩnyuĩra.
He took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
24 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo thakame yakwa ya kĩrĩkanĩro, ĩrĩa ĩitĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aingĩ.
He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
25 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ndikũnyua rĩngĩ ndibei ya maciaro ma mũthabibũ, nginya mũthenya ũrĩa ngaamĩnyua ĩrĩ njerũ ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
Truly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God."
26 Na maarĩkia kũina rwĩmbo, makiumagara magĩthiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ.
When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ inyuothe nĩmũrĩndirika, nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩngaringa mũrĩithi, nacio ngʼondu ihurunjũke.’
Jesus said to them, "All of you will fall away, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'
28 No ndaariũka, nĩngamũtongoria gũthiĩ Galili.”
However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
29 Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “O na othe mangĩgũtirika, niĩ ndingĩgũtirika.”
But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."
30 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũmũthĩ, o ũtukũ ũyũ, ngũkũ ĩtanakũga keerĩ, nĩũrĩngaana maita matatũ.”
Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."
31 No Petero akĩaria ahinyĩrĩirie, akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na angĩkorwo ndĩrĩkuanĩra nawe, niĩ ndingĩgũkaana!” O na acio angĩ othe makiuga o ũguo.
But he insisted, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.
32 Nao magĩkinya handũ heetagwo Gethisemane, nake Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Ikarai haha thiĩ ngahooe.”
They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."
33 Akĩoya Petero na Jakubu na Johana agĩthiĩ nao, na o hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩeha kĩnene na agĩthĩĩnĩka mũno.
He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngoro yakwa nĩĩraigua kĩeha mũno o ta ingĩkua, ikarai haha na mwĩhũge.”
He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."
35 Na aathiathia hanini, akĩĩgũithia thĩ, akĩhooya atĩ korwo kwahoteka, ihinda rĩu rĩmweherere.
He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36 Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Abba, Baba, maũndũ mothe nĩmahotekaga nĩwe. Njehereria gĩkombe gĩkĩ. No ti ũrĩa ngwenda niĩ, no nĩ ũrĩa wee ũkwenda.”
He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."
37 Ningĩ agĩcooka harĩ arutwo ake akĩmakora makomete. Akĩũria Petero atĩrĩ, “Simoni, kaĩ ũkomete? Ndũngĩhota gũikara ithaa rĩmwe wĩiguĩte?
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
38 Mwĩhũgagei na mũhooyage nĩgeetha mũtikagwe magerio-inĩ. Ngoro nĩyenda, no mwĩrĩ ndũrĩ na hinya.”
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39 O rĩngĩ agĩthiĩ akĩhooya o ũguo.
Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
40 Na acooka rĩngĩ harĩo, agĩkora makomete tondũ nĩmahĩtĩtwo nĩ toro. Nao makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa mangĩmwĩra.
Again he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him.
41 Ningĩ agĩũka ihinda rĩa gatatũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “O na rĩu mũrĩ o toro, o mũhurũkĩte? Kinyiai hau! Ithaa nĩrĩakinya. Atĩrĩrĩ, Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakunyanĩirwo akaneanwo moko-inĩ ma andũ ehia.
He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Ũkĩrai, tũthiĩ! Ũrĩa ũkũngunyanĩra nĩarooka.”
Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me is near."
43 O akĩaragia-rĩ, Judasi, ũmwe wa arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, agĩkinya. Ookire arĩ na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ marĩ na hiũ cia njora na njũgũma, matũmĩtwo nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na arutani a watho na athuuri.
Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44 Judasi ũcio wamũkunyanĩire nĩamaheete kĩmenyithia akameera atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ndĩmumunya nĩwe; mũmũnyiite na mũmũtware arangĩirwo.”
Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."
45 Judasi o rĩmwe agĩthiĩ harĩ Jesũ, akĩmwĩta atĩrĩ, “Rabii!” na akĩmũmumunya.
When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi." and kissed him.
46 Nao andũ acio makĩguthũkĩra Jesũ makĩmũnyiita.
They laid hands on him, and seized him.
47 Na ũmwe wa arĩa maarũngiĩ hakuhĩ agĩcomora rũhiũ rwake rwa njora agĩtinia gũtũ kwa ndungata ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndĩ mũtongoria wa akararia a watho atĩ nĩkĩo muoka kũũnyiita mũrĩ na hiũ cia njora na njũgũma?
Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
49 Ndĩratũũraga na inyuĩ hekarũ-inĩ ngĩrutanaga mũthenya o mũthenya na mũtingĩĩnyiita. No rĩrĩ, Maandĩko no nginya mahiinge.”
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."
50 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo ake othe makĩmũtiganĩria, makĩũra.
They all left him, and fled.
51 Na mwanake ũmwe ũteehumbĩte kĩndũ tiga taama wa gatani akĩrũmĩrĩra Jesũ. Na rĩrĩa maamũnyiitire,
And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. And they grabbed him,
52 agĩtiga taama wake nao, akĩũra e njaga.
but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.
53 Nao andũ acio magĩtwara Jesũ kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene othe, na athuuri na arutani a watho makĩgomana hamwe.
They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together.
54 Petero akĩmũrũmĩrĩra arĩ haraaya o nginya agĩkinya nja ya mũciĩ wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũnene. Agĩikarania na thigari kũu agĩota mwaki.
Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
55 Na rĩrĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, o na Kĩama kĩu gĩothe, magĩcaria ũira wa kũũragithia Jesũ, no mationire.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56 Na andũ aingĩ nĩmarutire ũira wa maheeni, no ũira wao ũkĩaga kũiguana.
For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony did not agree with each other.
57 Gũgĩcooka gũkĩrũgama andũ amwe, nao makĩruta ũira wa maheeni makiuga atĩrĩ,
Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,
58 “Nĩtwaiguire akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngatharia hekarũ ĩno yakĩtwo nĩ andũ, na njake ĩngĩ ĩtakĩtwo nĩ mũndũ na ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩtatũ.’”
"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"
59 No o na moiga ũguo, ũira wao ũkĩaga kũiguana.
Even so, their testimony did not agree.
60 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akĩrũgama gatagatĩ kao, akĩũria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũtarĩ na ũndũ ũngĩcookia? Nĩ ũhoro ũrĩkũ ũyũ ũrathitangwo naguo?”
The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"
61 No Jesũ agĩkira ki, na ndacookie ũndũ. O rĩngĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũnene akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Kristũ, Mũrũ wa Ũrĩa Mũrathime?”
But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
62 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩ niĩ. Na nĩmũkona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ aikarĩte guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Hinya, na agĩũka arĩ igũrũ rĩa matu.”
And Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."
63 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũnene agĩtembũranga nguo ciake. Akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Tũgũkĩbatario nĩ aira angĩ a kĩ?
The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?
64 Nĩmweiguĩra akĩruma Ngai. Mũgwĩciiria atĩa?” Nao othe makĩmũtuĩra atĩ aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũũragwo.
You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
65 Hĩndĩ ĩyo amwe makĩambĩrĩria kũmũtuĩra mata, na makĩmũhumbĩra ũthiũ, makĩmũringa na ngundi makĩmwĩraga atĩrĩ, “Ta kĩrathe ũhoro.” Nacio thigari ikĩmuoya, ikĩmũhũũra.
Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy." And the officers took him and beat him.
66 Na hĩndĩ ĩyo Petero aikarĩte o hau nja-rĩ, ũmwe wa ndungata cia airĩtu cia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akĩgerera ho.
Now as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,
67 Rĩrĩa oonire Petero agĩota mwaki, akĩmũrora wega. “Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘O nawe uuma hamwe na Jesũ ũcio wa Nazarethi’.”
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."
68 Nowe Petero agĩkaana ũhoro ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndiũĩ ũhoro ũcio, o na ndiramenya nĩ atĩa ũroiga,” na akiumagara agĩthiĩ itoonyero-inĩ.
But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." And he went out into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed.
69 Na rĩrĩa ndungata ĩyo ya mũirĩtu yamuonire ho, o rĩngĩ ĩkĩĩra arĩa maarũngiĩ ho atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩ ũmwe wao.”
And the servant girl saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."
70 No Petero agĩkaana ũhoro ũcio rĩngĩ. Thuutha wa kahinda kanini, arĩa maarũgamĩte hakuhĩ makĩĩra Petero atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũrĩ ũmwe wao, nĩ ũndũ wĩ Mũgalili.”
But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your accent shows it."
71 Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwĩhĩta akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ mũndũ ũyũ mũraaria ũhoro wake.”
But he began to curse, and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."
72 O hĩndĩ ĩyo ngũkũ ĩgĩkũga hĩndĩ ya keerĩ. Nake Petero akĩririkana ũhoro ũrĩa Jesũ aamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Ngũkũ ĩtanakũga keerĩ nĩũrĩngaana maita matatũ.” Nake akĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra.
And immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
