Mattiyu 27
1 Da wayewar gari, sai dukan manyan firistoci da dattawan mutane suka yanke shawara su kashe Yesu.
Very early the next morning all the chief priests and Jewish elders decided how [to arrange for the Romans] to execute Jesus.
2 Suka daure shi, suka tafi da shi, suka ba da shi ga gwamna Bilatus.
They tied his hands and took him to Pilate, the [Roman] governor.
3 Sa’ad da Yahuda, wanda ya bashe Yesu, ya ga an yanke wa Yesu hukuncin kisa, sai ya yi “da na sani.” Ya je mayar wa manyan firistoci da dattawan kuɗin azurfa talatin ɗin.
When Judas, the one who had (betrayed/enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize) him, realized that they had decided to have Jesus executed, he was very sorry [about what he had done]. He took the 30 coins back to the chief priests and elders.
4 Ya ce, “Na yi zunubi da na ci amanar marar laifi.” Suka ce masa, “Ina ruwanmu da wannan? Wannan dai ruwanka ne.”
He said, “I have sinned. I have (betrayed/enabled you to seize) a man who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong).” They replied, “(That means nothing to us!/What does that mean to us?) [RHQ] That is your problem!”
5 Sai Yahuda ya zubar da kuɗin a cikin haikalin ya tafi. Sa’an nan ya je ya rataye kansa.
So Judas [took] the money [and] threw it inside the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 Manyan firistoci suka ɗauki kuɗin, suka ce, “Doka ta hana a sa kuɗin a cikin ma’aji, da yake kuɗin jini ne.”
[Later] the high priests [found] the coins. They picked them up and said, “This is money that we paid [to have a man killed] [MTY], and our law does not allow [such money] to be put {us to put [such money]} into the [Temple treasury].”
7 Saboda haka, sai suka yanke shawara su yi amfani da kuɗin suka sayi filin mai yin tukwane, saboda binne baƙi.
So they decided to use that money to buy the field where clay was dug for making pots {men dug ground for making pots}. [They made that field] a place where they buried strangers [who died in Jerusalem].
8 Shi ya sa ake kiran filin, Filin Jini har yă zuwa yau.
That is why that place is still called {why they still call that place} ‘The field of blood’.
9 Sai abin da aka faɗa ta bakin annabi Irmiya ya cika cewa, “Suka ɗauki azurfa talatin, kuɗin da mutanen Isra’ila suka sa a kansa,
[By buying that field], they fulfilled these words that the prophet Jeremiah wrote [long ago]: They took the 30 silver coins; That was what the leaders of Israel decided [that he was worth];
10 suka kuma yi amfani da su, suka sayi filin mai yin tukwane, kamar yadda Ubangiji ya umarce ni.”
and with that money they bought the field where clay was dug for potters. They did that as the Lord had commanded me.
11 Ana cikin haka, Yesu kuwa yana tsaye a gaban gwamna, sai gwamnan ya tambaye shi, “Kai ne Sarkin Yahudawa?” Yesu ya ce, “I, haka ne, kamar yadda ka faɗa.”
Jesus stood in front of [Pilate], the governor. The governor asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “[It is] as you have [just] said.”
12 Da manyan firistoci da dattawa suka zarge shi, bai ba da amsa ba.
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders {When the chief priests and elders accused him} about various things, he did not answer.
13 Sai Bilatus ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Ba ka jin shaidar da suke kawowa a kanka?”
So Pilate said to him, “You hear how many things they are saying to accuse you; [are you not going to reply]?”
14 Amma Yesu bai ce uffam game da ko ɗaya daga cikin zargin da suka yi masa ba. Har gwamna ya yi mamaki ƙwarai.
But [even though he was not guilty], Jesus did not say anything. He did not reply to any of the things about which they were accusing him. As a result, the governor was very surprised.
15 A wannan irin Biki, gwamna yana da wata al’ada, ta sakin ɗan kurkuku guda wanda taron suka zaɓa.
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison]. [He released] whichever prisoner the people wanted.
16 To, a wannan lokaci kuwa suna da wani shahararren ɗan kurkuku da ake kira Barabbas.
At that time there was [in Jerusalem] a well-known prisoner whose name was Barabbas.
17 Saboda haka da taron suka taru, sai Bilatus ya tambaye su ya ce, “Wane ne a cikinsu kuke so in sakar muku. Barabbas ko Yesu wanda ake kira Kiristi?”
So when the crowd gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which [prisoner] would you like me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus, whom [some of you] claim to be the Messiah?”
18 Don ya san saboda sonkai ne suka ba da Yesu a gare shi.
[He asked that question] because he realized that the chief priests [wanted to have Jesus executed]. They had brought Jesus to him [only] because they were jealous of Jesus. [And Pilate thought that the crowd would prefer that he release Jesus].
19 Yayinda Bilatus yake zaune a kan kujerar shari’a, sai matarsa ta aika masa da wannan saƙo cewa, “Kada ka sa hannunka a kan marar laifin nan, domin na sha wahala ƙwarai, a cikin mafarki yau game da shi.”
While Pilate was sitting on the platform [where he made] judicial [decisions], his wife sent him [this message]: “Early this morning I had a bad dream because of that man. So do not condemn that righteous man!”
20 Amma manyan firistoci da dattawa suka shawo kan taron, su ce, a ba su Barabbas, amma a kashe Yesu.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask [Pilate to] release Barabbas, and to [order] that Jesus be executed {that [his soldiers] execute Jesus}.
21 Gwamna ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Wane ne cikin biyun nan, kuke so in sakar muku?” Suka ce, “Barabbas.”
So when the governor asked them, “Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?” They replied, “Barabbas!”
22 Bilatus ya yi tambaya, “To, me zan yi da Yesu wanda ake kira Kiristi?” Duka suka ce, “A gicciye shi!”
Pilate, [very astonished], asked, “So what shall I do with Jesus who [some of you] say is the Messiah?” They all answered, “[Command that] he be crucified! {[Command your soldiers] (to crucify him/to nail him to a cross)}!”
23 Bilatus ya ce, “Don me? Wane laifi ya yi?” Amma suka ƙara tā da ihu, suna cewa, “A gicciye shi!”
Pilate replied, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Have] him crucified {[Command that your soldiers] crucify him}!”
24 Da Bilatus ya ga cewa ba ya kaiwa ko’ina, sai ma hargitsi ne yake so yă tashi, sai ya ɗibi ruwa, ya wanke hannuwansa a gaban taron ya ce, “Ni kam, ba ruwana da alhakin jinin mutumin nan. Wannan ruwanku ne!”
Pilate realized that he was accomplishing nothing. He saw that instead, the people were starting to riot. So he took [a basin of] water and washed his hands as the crowd was watching. He said, “[By washing my hands I am showing you that] if this man dies [MTY], it is [your] fault, [not mine]!”
25 Sai dukan mutane suka amsa, suka ce, “Bari alhakin jininsa yă zauna a kanmu da’ya’yanmu!”
And all the people answered, “The guilt for causing him to die [MTY] will be on us, and it will be on our children, too!”
26 Sai ya sakar musu Barabbas. Amma ya sa aka yi wa Yesu bulala, sa’an nan ya ba da shi a gicciye.
Then he [ordered the soldiers to] release Barabbas for them. But he [ordered that his soldiers] flog Jesus. And then he turned Jesus over to the soldiers for them (to nail Jesus to a cross/to crucify him).
27 Sai sojojin gwamna suka ɗauki Yesu suka kai shi Fadar mai mulki, sa’an nan suka tara dukan kamfanin sojoji kewaye da shi.
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the government headquarters. The whole (cohort/group of soldiers) gathered around him.
28 Suka tuɓe shi, suka yafa masa wata jar riga.
They pulled off [his clothes], and [pretending he was a king, they] put a purple robe on him.
29 Suka kuma tuƙa wani rawanin ƙaya, suka sa masa a kā. Suka sa sanda a hannun damansa. Suka durƙusa a gabansa, suka yi masa ba’a, suna cewa, “Ranka yă daɗe sarkin Yahudawa!”
They [took some branches with] thorns and wove them to make a crown and put it on his head. They put in his right hand a reed [like a staff that a king would hold]. Then they knelt in front of him and made fun of him, saying, “Hooray for the king of the Jews [IRO]!”
30 Suka tattofa masa miyau, suka karɓe sandan, suka yi ta ƙwala masa shi a kai.
They kept spitting on him. They took the staff and kept striking him on the head with it.
31 Bayan sun yi masa ba’a, sai suka tuɓe masa rigar, suka sa masa nasa tufafin. Sai suka tafi da shi, domin su gicciye shi.
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to [the place where they] would nail him to a cross.
32 Suna fitowa ke nan, sai suka sadu da wani mutumin Sairin, mai suna Siman. Sai suka tilasta shi ya ɗauki gicciyen.
[After Jesus carried his cross] a short distance, [the soldiers] saw a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city]. They forced him to carry the cross for Jesus.
33 Sai suka iso wani wurin da ake kira Golgota (wanda yake nufin Wurin Ƙoƙon Kai).
They came to a place called Golgotha. That name means ‘the place [like] a skull’.
34 A can, suka ba shi ruwan inabi gauraye da wani abu mai ɗaci yă sha. Amma da ya ɗanɗana, sai ya ƙi sha.
When [they got there], they mixed with wine something that tasted very bitter. They gave it to [Jesus] to drink [so that he would not feel so much pain when they nailed him on the cross]. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it. [Some soldiers took his clothes].
35 Bayan da suka gicciye shi, sai suka raba tufafinsa a tsakaninsu ta wurin jefa ƙuri’a.
Then they nailed him to the cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with something like dice [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
36 Sa’an nan suka zauna suna tsaronsa.
Then the soldiers sat down there to guard him, [to prevent anyone from trying to rescue him].
37 Bisa da kansa kuwa, an kafa rubutun zargin da aka yi masa, da ya ce, Wannan shi ne Yesu Sarkin Yahudawa.
They fastened [to the cross] above Jesus’ head a [sign on which had been] {[they had]} written why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all] it said was, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews’.
38 An gicciye’yan fashi biyu tare da shi, ɗaya a damansa, ɗaya kuma a hagunsa.
Two bandits were also nailed {They also nailed two bandits} on crosses. One was nailed to a cross on the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross on the left side.
39 Masu wucewa, suka zazzage shi, suna kaɗa kai,
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads [as if he were an evil man].
40 suna cewa, “Kai da za ka rushe haikali, ka kuma gina shi cikin kwana uku, ceci kanka mana! In kai Ɗan Allah ne, ka sauka daga gicciyen!”
They said, “You [said you] would destroy the Temple, and then you would build it again within three days! [So if you could do that], you [should be able to] save yourself! If you are the man who is also God (OR, If you are the Son of God), come down from the cross!”
41 Haka ma, manyan firistoci da malaman dokoki da kuma dattawa, suka yi ta yin masa ba’a, suna cewa,
Similarly, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the elders made fun of him. [Various ones of them] said things like,
42 “Ya ceci waɗansu, amma ya kāsa ceton kansa! In shi ne Sarkin Isra’ila! To, yă sauko daga kan gicciyen nan, mu kuwa mu gaskata shi.
“He [claims that he] saved others [IRO] [from their sicknesses], but he cannot help himself!” “He [says that he] is [IRO] the King of Israel. So he should come down from the cross. Then we would believe him!”
43 Ya dogara ga Allah. Bari Allah yă cece shi yanzu, in yana sonsa, domin ya ce, ‘Ni Ɗan Allah ne.’”
“He [says that he] trusts in God, and that he is the man who is also God. So if God is pleased with him, God should rescue him now!”
44 Haka ma,’yan fashin da aka gicciye tare da shi, suka zazzage shi.
And the [two] bandits who had been crucified with him also insulted him, saying similar things.
45 Daga sa’a ta shida, har zuwa sa’a ta tara, duhu ya rufe ƙasa duka.
At noon it became dark over the whole land. [It stayed dark] until three o’clock [in the afternoon].
46 Wajen sa’a ta tara, Yesu ya ɗaga murya da ƙarfi ya ce, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” (Wato, “Ya Allahna, ya Allahna, don me ka yashe ni?”).
At about three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That means, ‘My God, my God, why have you deserted me?’
47 Sa’ad da waɗanda suke tsattsaye a wurin suka ji haka, sai suka ce, “Yana kiran Iliya.”
When some of the people standing there heard [the word ‘Eli’, misunderstanding it], they said, “He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
48 Nan da nan, ɗaya daga cikinsu ya ruga, ya sami soso, ya jiƙa shi da ruwan tsami, ya sa a sanda, ya miƙa wa Yesu, yă sha.
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with sour wine. Then he put the sponge on [the tip of] a reed and [held it up in order that Jesus] could suck out [the wine that was in it].
49 Sauran kuwa suka ce, “Ƙyale shi mu ga, ko Iliya zai zo yă cece shi.”
But the other [people there] said, “Wait! Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him!”
50 Da Yesu ya sāke ɗaga murya da ƙarfi, sai ya saki ruhunsa.
Then after Jesus shouted out loudly again, he died, giving his spirit over [to God].
51 A daidai wannan lokaci, sai labulen haikali ya tsage gida biyu, daga sama har ƙasa. Ƙasa ta jijjiga, duwatsu kuma suka farfashe.
At that moment the [heavy thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God]. The earth shook, and [some large] rocks split open.
52 Kaburbura suka bubbuɗe, jikunan tsarkaka da yawa kuwa cikin waɗanda da suka mutu, suka tashi.
[Some] tombs opened up, and the bodies of many godly people who had died became alive again.
53 Suka firfito daga kaburbura, sa’an nan bayan tashin Yesu daga matattu, suka shiga birni mai tsarki, suka bayyana ga mutane da yawa.
They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus became alive again, they went into Jerusalem and appeared to many people [there].
54 Da jarumin nan tare da waɗanda suke tsaron Yesu, suka ga girgizar ƙasa, da kuma abin da ya faru, sai tsoro ya kama su, suka kuma ce, “Gaskiya, wannan Ɗan Allah ne!”
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross was standing nearby]. His soldiers who had been on guard [so that no one would rescue] Jesus [were also there]. When they [felt] the earthquake and saw all the [other] things that happened, they were terrified. They exclaimed, “Truly he was both man and God! (OR, a Son of God).”
55 Akwai mata da yawa a can, suna kallo daga nesa. Sun bi Yesu tun daga Galili, suna masa hidima.
Many women were there, watching from a distance. They were women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee [district] in order to provide the things he needed.
56 A cikinsu, akwai Maryamu Magdalin, da Maryamu uwar Yaƙub da Yoses, da kuma uwar’ya’yan Zebedi.
Among these women were Mary from Magdala [town], [another] Mary who was the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John.
57 Da yamma ta yi, sai ga wani mutum mai arziki daga Arimateya, sunansa Yusuf, wanda shi da kansa almajirin Yesu ne.
When it was [almost] evening, a rich man named Joseph came [there]. He was from Arimathea [town]. He also was a disciple of Jesus.
58 Ya je wurin Bilatus, ya roƙe shi yă ba shi jikin Yesu. Sai Bilatus ya umarta a ba shi.
He then went to Pilate and asked Pilate to [allow him to take] the body of Jesus [and bury it]. Pilate ordered that [he] be allowed to {[his soldiers] let [Joseph]} take [the body].
59 Yusuf ya ɗauki jikin ya nannaɗe shi da zanen lilin mai tsabta.
So Joseph [and others] took the body and wrapped it in a clean white cloth.
60 Sa’an nan ya sa shi a sabon kabarinsa, wanda ya haƙa a dutse. Bayan ya gungura wani babban dutse ya rufe bakin kabarin, sai ya tafi abinsa.
Then they placed it in Joseph’s own new tomb that had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. They rolled a huge [circular flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb. Then they left.
61 Maryamu Magdalin da ɗayan Maryamun, suna zaune a wurin, ɗaura da kabarin.
Mary from Magdala and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb, [watching].
62 Kashegari, wato, bayan Ranar Shirye-shirye, sai manyan firistoci da Farisiyawa, suka je wurin Bilatus.
The next day was Saturday, the Jewish day of rest. The chief priests and [some of] the Pharisees went to Pilate.
63 Suka ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, mun tuna, mai ruɗin nan tun yana da rai ya ce, ‘Bayan kwana uku, zan tashi daga matattu.’
They said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive, he said, ‘Three days after I [die I] will become alive again.’
64 Saboda haka, ka ba da umarni, a tsare kabarin sai rana ta uku ɗin. In ba haka ba, almajiransa za su iya zuwa su sace jikin, sa’an nan su faɗa wa mutane cewa, an tashe shi daga matattu. Ruɗin ƙarshen nan fa, sai yă fi na farkon muni.”
So we ask you to order that the tomb be guarded {that [soldiers] guard the tomb} for three days. If you do not do that, his disciples may come and steal the body. Then they will tell people that he has risen from the dead. If they deceive [people by saying that], it will be worse than the way he deceived people before [by saying that he was the Messiah].”
65 Sai Bilatus ya ce, “Shi ke nan, ku ɗebi soja, ku je ku tsare kabarin iya ƙoƙarinku.”
Pilate replied, “You [can] take some soldiers. Go to the tomb and make it as secure as you know how.”
66 Sai suka je suka tsare kabarin ta wurin buga masa hatimi, suka kuma sa masu gadi.
So they went and made the tomb secure by [fastening a cord from] the stone [that was in front of the entrance to the rock cliff on each side] and sealing it. They also [left some soldiers there to] guard [the tomb].
