Maka 14
1 Mi pendima jaanma leni yaa dupe n ki pia dabinli jaanma nsieni danalie, bi copadicianba yudanbaleni li balimaama bangikaaba den moandi ban baa tieni maama ki cuo Jesu leni bu nunfanbu ki kpa o.
It was now two days before the Festival of the Passover and the unleavened bread. The chief priests and the teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity to arrest Jesus by stealth, and to put him to death;
2 Bi den tua: Lan da tieni mi jaanma dana nni, ke ku fuugu n da fii bi niba siiga.
for they said, “Not during the Festival, or the people may riot.”
3 Jesu den ye betani o kpaado simono deni. Wan den ka ki di opua den kua ki ya tiagu n tie alibati tanli, ke ku jie leni naadi moanmoani ya tulale ke oligi yaba hali boncianla. o den ta laa tulale ki wuli Jesu po.
When Jesus was still at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was sitting at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of choice spikenard perfume of great value. She broke the jar, and poured the perfume on his head.
4 yaaba n den ye li kani siiga bi tianba den maadi leni bi yaba leni li pabienli ki yedi: Be yaa po ke obiani n tiena?
Some of those who were present said to one another indignantly, “Why has the perfume been wasted like this?
5 Bi bi baa fidi ki kuadi o ya ligi n cie kujapiena kobitaa ki taa yi ki pa a luoda. Bi pala den beni o pua yeni po.
This perfume could have been sold for more than a year’s wages, and the money given to the poor.”
6 Ama Jesu den yedi: cedi o mani, be yaapo ke yi yagini oyama? O soa n po yaa tuonli n hana.
“Leave her alone,” said Jesus, as they began to find fault with her, “why are you troubling her? This is a beautiful deed that she has done for me.
7 Kelima yi pia a luoda u yogu kuli yi siiga yi baa fidi ki tieni bi po yaala n hana yaa yogunu ke yi bua. Ama yi kan yaa pia mini wani ya yogunu kuli.
You always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.
8 O tieni wan baa fidi yaala. O tuodi ki bogini n gbannandi piinma po yo.
She has done what she could; she has perfumed my body beforehand for my burial.
9 N yedi yi imoamoani ban baa waani olaabaalihamo handuna nni naankani kuli, bi baa tiadi ki togidi opua na n tieni yaala.
And I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, the good news is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her.”
10 Bi piiga n niliediba siiga yendo ban yi yua judasa isikaliyoto den gedi bi ckopacianba yudanba po ki bua ki janbi Jesu ban cuo o.
After this, Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray Jesus to them.
11 Ban den gbadi lani bipla den mangi ke bi niani o ke bi ba suu o i ligi. Lani judasa den lingi wan baa ba yaa sanu ki janbi Jesu ki teni ba.
They were glad to hear what he said, and promised to pay him. So he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus.
12 Yaa dupe n pia daliali jaanma cilidaali ban yen kodi mi pendima jaanma pebiga yaa daali yeni Jesu hoadikaaba den buali o: A bua tin gedi le yo ki ban hanbi ha po mi pendima jaanjiema,
On the first day of the Festival of the unleavened bread, when it was customary to kill the Passover lambs, his disciples said to Jesus, “Where do you wish us to go and make preparations for your eating the Passover?”
13 o den soani huadikaaba lie ki yedi ba kua mani udogu nni yi baa tuogi ojoa ke o bugi li ñicuali yin huadi o mani.
Jesus sent forward two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him;
14 Wan baa kua naan kani yeni yin yedi likani die daano: Canbaa yedi daa mini leni n huadikaaba n baa je mi pendima jaanjiema ya candieli nni ye le?
and, wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house ‘The teacher says – Where is my room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
15 Obaa waani yi li die tuankaali yaali n yaba ki hanbi ke yaala n dagigidi kuli ye lienni yin hanbi mani ti po lankani,
He will himself show you a large upstairs room, set out ready; and there make preparations for us.”
16 O huadikaaba den fii ki kua u dogu nni ki ban sua ke li bonla kuli tie nani wan den waani ba maama. B i den hanbi mi pendima jaanjiema.
So the disciples set out and went into the city, and found everything just as Jesus had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
17 Ku yenjuagu n den baa Jesu leni piiga n liediba den cua li kani.
In the evening he went there with the Twelve,
18 Ban den kaa u sajekaanu kani yaa yogunu ki di Jesu den yedi ba: N waani yi imoamoani yi siiga yendo yua n di leni nni baa janbi nni ki teni ban cuo nni.
and when they had taken their places and were eating, Jesus said, “I tell you that one of you is going to betray me – one who is eating with me.”
19 Bi huadi kaaba pala den cili ki biidi ke yendo yendo kuli den yedi o: Li tie mini yo?
They were grieved at this, and began to say to him, one after another, “Can it be I?”
20 O den yedi ba li tie yinba bi piiga n liediba siiga yendo yua n taagi ki tungi leni nni.
“It is one of you Twelve,” said Jesus, “the one who is dipping his bread beside me into the dish.
21 O joa bi jua caa nani lan diani ki bili opo maama. Ama fala baa ye leni yua n baa janbi O joa bi jua li den baa hani laa joa po bi yaa den mali o.
True, the Son of Man must go, as scripture says of him, yet alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is being betrayed! For that man it would be better never to have been born!”
22 Ban den di yayogunu Jesu den taa dupe ki tuondi UTienu ki cabidi ki teni ba ki yedi. Ga mani li ne n tie n gbannandi,
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 o go den taa ki tadiñokaaga ki tuondi UTienu ki teni ba ke bi kuli ñuna,
Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 o den yedi ba yaa bonñokaala n tiena tie n soama yaama n teni ke UTienu hantaado kua, yaama nbaa wuli bi niba boncianla po.
“This is my covenant-blood,” he said, “which is poured out on behalf of many.
25 N waani yi imoamoa, n kan go ño duven hali min go baa ño obonpaano UTienu diema yaa daali.
I tell you that I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 Ban den yini pisoma nba yani ki gbeni bi den ñani ki gedi olifie tiidi juali po.
They then sang a hymn, and went out up the Mount of Olives,
27 Jesu den yedi ba: Yi kuli baa haa nni kelima li diani nbaa pua oyankpaalo ipe n yadi.
presently Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away; for scripture says – ‘I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 Ama n yaa ti fi bi tinkpiba nba ga yi liiga ki gedi galile.
Yet, after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.”
29 Pieli den yedi o: Baa yaaba n sieni kuli yaa ba ha ha mini wani ka.
“Even if everyone else falls away,” said Peter, “I will not.”
30 Jesu den yedi o: n waani a imoamoani dinla ñiagu na hali ke ku kootongu daa mua milie a baa nia taalimata ke haa bani nni.
“I tell you,” answered Jesus, “that you yourself today – yes, this very night – before the cock crows twice, will disown me three times.”
31 Ama pieli den nia hali boncianla ki yedi: baa li yaa tie tiladi min taani ki kpe leni a, kan nia ke mii bani a bi kuli den yedi yeni.
But Peter vehemently protested, “Even if I must die with you, I will never disown you!” And they all said the same.
32 Jesu leni o hoadikaaba den gedi ya kaanu nyi jetesamane nni. O den yedi ba: kalimani ne hali min baa jaandi.
Presently they came to a garden known as Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples “Sit down here while I pray.”
33 O den ta pieli. jaka leni jan ke bi yegi leni o, ijeje leni li paboanli den cili ki cuo o,
He took with him Peter, James, and John; and began to show signs of great dismay and deep distress of mind.
34 oden yedi ba li paboanli cuo nni hali ke li naani nni ke n baa kpe yeni sedi mani kiyaa gu.
“I am sad at heart,” he said, “sad even to death; wait here, and watch.”
35 Lani o den suagi liiga waamu ki baa ki labini ki jaandi ke li ya baa tuo ya yogunu nkpen di na, n lagidi ki ha o.
Going on a little further, he threw himself on the ground, and began to pray that, if it were possible, he might be spared that hour.
36 O den tua nBaa, nBaa a fidi li bonla kuli, han ñani yaa tadiñokaaga n tiena min da ño. De lan da tua mini nbua yaala ama fini n bua yaala.
“Abba, Father,” he said, “all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me; yet, not what I will, but what you will.”
37 O den guani o huadikaaba kani ki sua ke bi goa ke o yedi pieli: simono a goa yo? haa fidi ki guudi ba waamu?
Then he came and found the three apostles asleep. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you watch for one hour?
38 Ya guu mani ki jaandi ke yin da kua mi tulinma nni, li pali bua ama ti gbanandi tadi.
Watch and pray,” he said to them all, “so that you may not fall into temptation. True, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 O go den piadi miliema ki jaandi nani mi kpiama yeni.
Again he went away, and prayed in the same words;
40 O go den guani bi kani ki sua ke bi goa goa, kelima mi goama den gbadi ba. Baa den bani ban baa guani ki yedi o yaala.
and coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to say to him.
41 O go den guani mi ta taama ki yedi ba: Yi baa goa ki fuodi mani yo? Li dagidi u yogunu pundi ke bi ba janbi, o joa bi jua ki teni ti tuonbiadi danba nuuni.
A third time he came, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Enough! My time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked people.
42 Fii mani tin gedi. diidi mani yua n baa janbi nni, n kpendine.
Up, and let us be going. Look! My betrayer is close at hand.”
43 Jesu n maadi ya yogunu, judasa yua n tie bi piiga n ni liedidiba siiga yendo, den pundi okani. Bi copadicianba yudanba leni li balimaama bangikaaba leni jufinba nikpeliba nden soani yaa niligu ke bi kukubi mugisiemu leni igbieni den yegi o.
And just then, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came up; and with him a crowd of people, with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the elders.
44 Wani o jajanbido yeni den tuodi ki waani ku niligu yaa maalima n tiena: Min baa gobini yua yeni, wani n yeni, yin cuo o mani ki gedini owan da ciadi.
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. “The man whom I kiss,” he had said, “will be the one; arrest him and take him away safely.”
45 Wani judasa n den pundi li kani, lan yogunu liga o den nagini Jesu kani ki yedi o: Canba ki gobini o,
As soon as Judas came, he went up to Jesus at once, and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him.
46 lani bi niba yeni den cuo Jesu.
Then the men seized Jesus, and arrested him.
47 Yaaba n den ye li kani siiga yendo den noadi ki jugisiega ki pedi ki joandi bi kopadicianba bado naacemo tubili.
One of those who were standing by drew his sword, and struck at the high priest’s servant, and cut off his ear.
48 Jesu den yedi ku niligu: Yi cua ki kukubi mu jugisiemu leni igbieni nani yi lingi o sanjalo yeni ki baa cuo nni bii?
But Jesus spoke up, and said to the men, “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me?
49 N den ye leni yi UTienu diegu nni daali kuli ki bangi yi UTienu maama ama yii den cuo nni. Li tua yeni ke yaala n diani i diani nni n tieni ki dudi.
I have been among you day after day in the Temple Courts teaching, and yet you did not arrest me; but this is in fulfillment of the scriptures.”
50 Lani bi huadikaaba kuli den ha o ki sani.
And all the apostles deserted him and fled.
51 O jawaalo den hua Jesu ki goli bu kpalibu bebe,
One young man did indeed follow him, wrapped only in a linen sheet. They tried to arrest him;
52 Ban den cuo o, o den ha ke o kpalibu baa, ki sani mubili.
but he left the sheet in their hands, and fled naked.
53 Bi den gedini Jesu bi kopadicianba bado kani. Bi kopadicianba yudanba leni bi nikpeliba leni libalimaama bangikaaba den taani lan kani.
Then they took Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests, elders, and the teachers of the Law assembled.
54 Pieli den hua Jesu hali foagima hali ki ban pundi bi cokpacianba bado luoli nni. O den ka leni bi naacenba ki yie mi fantama.
Peter, who had followed Jesus at a distance into the courtyard of the high priest, was sitting there among the guards, warming himself at the blaze of the fire.
55 Bi copadicianba yudanba leni jufinba cancannikpeliba taancianli kuli den lingi ya siedi n baa pa u sanu ki teni ban kpa Jesu. Baa den baa.
Meanwhile the chief priest and the whole of the High Council were trying to get such evidence against Jesus as would warrant his being put to death, but they could not find any;
56 Bi niba boncianla den tieni Jesu po mi siedi faama. Ama bi siedi yeni ki den taa yenma.
for, though there were many who gave false evidence against him, yet their evidence did not agree.
57 Bi tianba den fii ki sedi ki tiendi opo yaa siedi faama ntiena ki yedi:
Presently some men stood up, and gave this false evidence against him –
58 Ti den gbadi ke o yedi: N baa mudi UTienu diegu na, o nisaalo nuu n maa yaagu, ki go maa UTienu diegu danata, nisaalo nuu n kaa maa yaagu.
“We ourselves heard him say ‘I will destroy this Temple made with hands, and in three days build another made without hands.’”
59 Baa laa maama po bi siedi naa den taa yenma.
Yet not even on that point did their evidence agree.
60 Lani bi copadicianba bado den fi ki sedi bi kuli siiga ki buali Jesu: A kan guani maama ba kuli?
Then the high priest stood forward, and questioned Jesus. “Have you no answer to make?” he asked. “What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?”
61 Jesu den ŋmini suo, waa guani li ba kuli. Bi kopadicianba bado go den buali o: A tie UTienu n gandi yua, UTienu yua n pia ti kpiagidi ya Bi jua bi?
But Jesus remained silent, and made no answer. A second time the high priest questioned him. “Are you,” he asked, “the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 Jesu den yedi o: n tie wane. Yi baa ti le ke ojoa bi jua ka UTienu Upacimu kuli daano jienu po, ki ke o ñani tanpoli ki kpendi ti tawadi nni.
“I am,” replied Jesus, “and you will all see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
63 Lane bi kopadicianba bado cuo wani oba yaa tiayiekaadi ki padi ki yedi: Ti go bua siedinba ki tieni be?
At this the high priest tore his vestments. “Why do we want any more witnesses?” he exclaimed.
64 Yi gbadi ke o sugi UTienu. Yi jagi be? Bikuli den taani ki yedi ke li pundi wan kpe.
“You heard his blasphemy? What is your verdict?” They all condemned him, declaring that he deserved death.
65 lani bi tianba, den cili ki siini O po, ki pigindi O ŋuni ki go kudi O a nikula, ki tua: ŋmee pua ŋa? bi naacenba mo den pbino O i tanpee.
Some of those present began to spit at him, and to blindfold his eyes, and strike him, saying, as they did so, “Now play the prophet!” and even the guards received him with blows.
66 pieli den ye tiipo bi kopadicianba bado luolu nni.
While Peter was in the courtyard down below, one of the high priest’s maidservants came up;
67 o kopadiciamo potuado yendo den laa o, ke o yie mi fantama ki nuali o, ki yedi, a moko den ye leni Jesu nasaleti yua yo.
and, seeing Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him, and exclaimed, “Why, you were with Jesus, the Nazarene!”
68 o n nia ki yedi, mii bani ŋa n tua yaala, lani ki fii ki tagini ki ya ban ñia ki ban cia bu buliñuabu po. lanyogunu ku kotongu den mua.
But Peter denied it. “I do not know or understand what you mean,” he replied. Then he went out into the porch;
69 o potuado yeni go den ban laa o, ki yedi ya niba n ye likani, yua n tene moko tie bi niba yeni siiga nni yendo yo.
and there the maidservant, on seeing him, began to say again to the bystanders, “This is one of them!”
70 pieli go den nia, yogin jenjenga n pugini, yaa ba n denye likani go den yedi pieli, laa pia kuli tama ke a moko tie bi niini yua yo, kelima a tie galili yua yo.
But Peter again denied it. Soon afterward the bystanders again said to him, “You certainly are one of them; why you are a Galilean!”
71 lanwani, o den cili ki solini o yuli ki polini, ki tua, mii bani ba, yi n maadi yua ya maama.
But he said to them, “I swear that I do not know the man you are talking about! May God punish me if I am lying!”
72 lanyogunu, mi taliema ku kotongu go den mua. lani pieli den tiadi, Jesu n den yedi o, yaala; hali ku kotongu ba mua taalima lie, a ba nia taalima ta ke ŋaa bani nni. wan den tia lipo, o den buudi.
At that moment, for the second time, a cock crowed; and Peter remembered the words that Jesus had said to him – ‘Before a cock has crowed twice, you will disown me three times’; and, as he thought of it, he began to weep.
