Luk 22
1 Nʼoge a, Mmemme Achịcha na-ekoghị eko nke a na-akpọ Ngabiga na-eru nso.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called ‘Passover’, drew near.
2 Ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu nọkwa na-achọ ụzọ ha ga-esi gbuo ya, nʼihi na ha na-atụ egwu ndị mmadụ.
And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to kill Him, because they feared the people.
3 Mgbe ahụ, ekwensu banyere nʼime Judas, onye a na-akpọ Iskarịọt, otu nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ na-eso ụzọ ya.
Then Satan entered Judas (the one surnamed Iscariot), who was numbered among the Twelve.
4 Ọ gakwuru ndịisi nchụaja, na ndịisi ndị nlekọta nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ya na ha akparịta ụka otu ọ ga-esi rara ya nyefee ya nʼaka ha.
So he went off and conferred with the chief priests and officers about how he might betray Him to them.
5 Ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ ma kwekwa nkwa inye ya ego.
They were glad, and agreed to give him silver coins.
6 O kwenyere, na-achọkwa ohere ga-adị mma ọ ga-eji nyefee ya nʼaka ha mgbe igwe mmadụ na-agaghị anọ.
So he promised, and started looking for an opportunity to betray Him to them, without a crowd.
7 O ruo nʼụbọchị Mmemme Achịcha na-ekoghị eko ahụ bụ ụbọchị a na-eji atụrụ Ngabiga achụ aja.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, in which it was necessary to kill the Passover lamb.
8 O zipụrụ Pita na Jọn sị, “Gaanụ kwadoo maka oriri Ngabiga nke anyị ga-eri.”
And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9 Ha sịrị ya, “Ebee ka ị chọrọ ka anyị gaa kwadoo maka ya?”
So they said to Him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
10 Ọ sịrị ha, “Lee, ka unu na-abata nʼobodo, otu nwoke bu ite mmiri ga-ezute unu, soronụ ya baa nʼụlọ ọbụla ọ banyere.
He said to them: “Note, upon entering the city a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters.
11 Sịnụ onyenwe ụlọ ahụ, ‘Onye ozizi sịrị, Olee ụlọ ndị ọbịa ebe mụ na ndị na-eso ụzọ m ga-anọ rie oriri Ngabiga?’
Then you must say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12 Ọ ga-egosi unu otu ọnụụlọ buru ibu dị nʼelu ụlọ nke e dozicharala ihe niile, kwadoonụ nri anyị nʼebe ahụ.”
He himself will show you a large upper room, all furnished; make preparations there.”
13 Ha gara chọpụta ihe niile dị ka ọ gwara ha. Ha kwadokwara nri Ngabiga ahụ.
So off they went and found things just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 Mgbe oge awa ahụ ruru, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya gara ebe ahụ nọdụ ala iri ihe.
When the hour had come, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him.
15 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ gụrụ m nnọọ agụụ ka mụ na unu rie nri Ngabiga a tupu mụ ataa ahụhụ.
Then He said to them: “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 Nʼihi na asị m unu, agaghị m erikwa ya ọzọ tutu ruo mgbe a ga-emezu ya nʼalaeze Chineke.”
I tell you further that I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
17 O buru iko, mgbe o nyechara ekele ọ sịrị, “Burunu nke a kesaa nʼetiti unu.
And taking a cup He gave thanks and said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
18 Nʼihi na asị m unu, site ugbu a ga nʼihu, agaghị m aṅụ mmanya sitere na mkpụrụ vaịnị ọzọ, ruo mgbe alaeze Chineke ga-abịa.”
I tell you further that I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes.”
19 O werekwara otu ogbe achịcha, mgbe o nyechara ekele, ọ nyawaa ya nye ha sị, “Nke a bụ ahụ m nke e nyere nʼihi unu. Na-emenụ nke a iji na-echeta m.”
Then, after the meal, He took bread, gave thanks, broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 Nʼotu ụzọ ahụ, mgbe ha risiri nri anyasị o buuru iko sị, “Iko a bụ iko nke ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ nʼọbara m, nke a na-awụpụ nʼihi unu.
He also took the cup, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 Ma lee, onye ahụ nke ga-arara m nye nọnyeere m, o sokwa m na-eri nri.
“But alas, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table!
22 Nwa nke Mmadụ na-aga ịnwụ dị ka e kpebiri ya, ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị nwoke ahụ a ga-esi nʼaka ya rara ya nye.”
To be sure, the Son of the Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
23 Ha bidoro ịjụrịta onwe ha onye ọ bụ nʼetiti ha ga-eme nke a.
(They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who was about to do this.)
24 Ịrụ ụka malitere nʼetiti ha banyere onye nʼime ha ka a na-agụ na ọ dị ukwuu karịa ibe ya.
Now there had actually been a discussion among them as to which of them seemed to be greater.
25 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Ndị eze ndị mba ọzọ na-eji aka ike na-achị ndị nọ nʼokpuru ha. Otu aka ahụkwa, a na-akpọ ndị na-achị achị enyi ndị mmadụ.
So He said to them: “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors’.
26 Ma unu onwe unu agaghị adị otu a. Kama onye kachasị ibe ya ịdị elu dịrị ka onye dịkarịsịrị nta. Ka onyeisi dịrị ka onye na-eje ozi.
But not so with you—rather let the greater among you become as the younger, and he who leads as he who serves.
27 Onye dị elu karịa ibe ya? Ọ bụ onye nọdụrụ ala rie nri na tebul ka ọ bụ onye siri nri dozie ya na tebul? Ọ bụghị onye nọdụrụ ala rie nri na tebul? Ma adị m ka onye na-eje ozi nʼetiti unu.
Who is greater, the one reclining or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining? Yet I am among you as the one who serves.
28 Ọ bụ unu onwe unu bụ ndị nọnyere m nʼoge ọnwụnwa m niile.
However, you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29 Ana m enye unu alaeze dị ka Nna m nyere m ya.
And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me,
30 Ka unu nwe ike isoro m rie ma ṅụọkwa nʼalaeze m. Sorokwa m nọdụ nʼocheeze na-ekpe ebo iri na abụọ nke Izrel ikpe.
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom; also you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel!”
31 “Saimọn, Saimọn, lee ekwensu arịọla ike ịyọcha unu dị ka ọka wiiti.
Then the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Indeed Satan has asked for you (pl) so as to sift you like wheat.
32 Ma ekpeelara m gị ekpere ka okwukwe gị ghara ịda. Mgbe ị kwudosiri ike, gbaakwa ụmụnna gị ume.”
But I have prayed for you (sg) so that your faith not fail completely; so you, when you have recovered, strengthen your brothers.”
33 Ma ọ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ejikeere m isoro gị gaa mkpọrọ, ma sorokwa gị nwụọ.”
But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
34 Jisọs zara, “Agwa m gị Pita, tupu oke ọkụkụ akwaa akwa taa, ị ga-agọnarị m ugboro atọ, si na ị maghị onye m bụ.”
So He said, “I say to you, Peter, no rooster can crow today before you deny three times that you know me!”
35 Ọ gwara ha, “Mgbe m zipụrụ unu na mbụ sị unu ewerekwala ego, maọbụ akpa maọbụ akpụkpọụkwụ, o nwere ihe kọrọ unu?” Ha sịrị, “O nweghị ihe kọrọ anyị.”
Then He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”
36 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na i nwere akpa ego, were ya, ma werekwa akpa ije. Ọ bụrụkwa na i nweghị mma agha ree uwe mgbokwasị gị zụtara onwe gị otu.
So He said to them: “But now, he who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword must sell his garment and buy one.
37 Nʼihi na agwa m unu, na a ga-emejupụta ihe ndị a e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ nʼime m, A gụkọtara ya na ndị na-emebi iwu. Nʼezie, ihe e dere banyere m eruwela mgbe ọ ga-emezu.”
Because I say to you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was classed with the lawless’; and because the things concerning me have an end.”
38 Ha sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị, lee mma agha abụọ dị ebe a.” Ọ sịrị ha, “Nke ahụ ezuola.”
So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”
39 Jisọs pụrụ gaa nʼUgwu Oliv dị ka ọ na-eme mgbe dum, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sokwa ya gaa.
Then going out He went to the Mount of Olives, as His custom was, and His disciples followed Him.
40 Mgbe o ruru nʼebe ahụ, ọ sịrị ha, “Kpeenụ ekpere ka unu ghara ịdaba nʼọnwụnwa.”
When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray, so as not to enter into temptation.”
41 Ọ hapụrụ ha gaa ihe ha ka nzọ ụkwụ ole na ole nọrọ nʼebe ahụ gbuo ikpere nʼala kpee ekpere, sị,
Then He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down and prayed,
42 “Nna ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, nara m iko a, ma otu ọ dị, ọ bụghị ka e mee uche m, kama ka e mezuo uche gị.”
saying, “Father, if you would just remove this cup from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done!”
43 Otu mmụọ ozi si nʼeluigwe bịakwutere ya, gbaakwa ya ume.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
44 Site nʼoke ihe mgbu, o kpere ekpere kpesie ike, nke mere na ọsụsọ si ya nʼahụ na-adapụ nʼala dị ka ọkpụrụkpụ ọbara.
And being in anguish He prayed with total concentration; then His sweat became like clots of blood, falling to the ground.
45 Mgbe o kpechara ekpere bilie, ọ bịakwutere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya hụ ha ka ha na-arahụ ụra nʼihi ihe mwute nke obi.
When He rose up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.
46 Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-arahụ ụra? Bilienụ kpee ekpere ka unu ghara ịdaba nʼọnwụnwa.”
He said to them: “Why do you sleep? Get up and pray, that you may not enter into temptation!”
47 Mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu nʼọnụ, igwe mmadụ bịara, onye du ha bụ onye a na-akpọ Judas, bụ otu nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya. Ọ bịaruru Jisọs nso, isutu ya ọnụ.
But while He was still speaking—wow, a crowd; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them! He approached Jesus to kiss Him (he had given them this sign, “Whomever I kiss, it is he”).
48 Ma Jisọs sịrị ya, “Judas, ọ bụ site nʼisutu ọnụ ka i ji arara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye?”
So Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of the Man with a kiss?”
49 Mgbe ndị nọ ya gburugburu hụrụ ihe gaje ime, ha sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ anyị were mma agha gbuo?”
When those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
50 Otu nʼime ha ji mma gbuo ohu onyeisi nchụaja, gbupụ ntị aka nri ya.
And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear!
51 Ma Jisọs sịrị, “O zuola!” O metụkwara ntị nwoke ahụ aka gwọọ ya.
But Jesus reacted by saying, “Allow at least this!” and touching his ear He healed him.
52 Mgbe ahụ, Jisọs sịrị ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị nlekọta nke ụlọnsọ ukwu na ndị okenye, “Gịnị mere unu ji chịrị mma agha na mkpọ bịa ijide m, dị ka a ga-asị na m bụ onye ohi o ji egbe ezu?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and elders who had come against Him: “Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a bandit?
53 Mgbe mụ na unu na-anọ kwa ụbọchị nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ma unu emetụghị m aka. Ma ugbu a bụ oge awa unu bụrụkwa mgbe ike ọchịchịrị na-achị achị.”
When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour; even the authority of the darkness!”
54 Mgbe ahụ ha jidere ya duru ya pụọ, gaa nʼụlọ onyeisi nchụaja. Pita sokwara ha nʼazụ kama ọ nọ nʼebe dị anya.
Then they seized, took and brought Him to the house of the high priest, with Peter following at a distance.
55 Mgbe ha kwanyere ọkụ nʼetiti mbara ezi obi ahụ, ma nọdụ ala gba ọkụ ahụ gburugburu, Pita sokwara ha nọdụ ala.
Now when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 Ka ọ na-anya ọkụ ahụ, otu nwaagbọghọ na-eje ozi hụrụ ya, o leruru ya anya nke ọma, sị, “Onye a na Jisọs nọkọrọ.”
Then a certain servant girl, seeing him sitting by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man also was with him.”
57 Ma ọ gọrọ agọ sị, “Nwanyị, amaghị m onye ọ bụ.”
But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
58 Mgbe oge nta gasịrị, onye ọzọ hụkwara ya kwukwaa sị, “Gị onwe gị bụkwa otu onye nʼime ha.” Ma Pita kwuru sị, “Nwoke m, abụghị m.”
After a little while another saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 Mgbe ihe dị ka otu awa gafere, onye ọzọ bịakwara kwusie okwu ike, “Nʼezie, nwoke a so ya nʼihi na ọ bụ onye Galili.”
Then after about an hour had passed, another started insisting, “Surely this fellow also was with him, because he is a Galilean.”
60 Pita sịrị, “Nwoke m, amaghị m ihe ị na-ekwu maka ya?” Dị ka ọ kpụ okwu ahụ nʼọnụ, oke ọkpa kwara akwa.
But Peter said, “Man, I don't know what you're talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị tụgharịrị lee Pita anya. Pita chetakwara okwu Onyenwe anyị gwara ya nke bụ, “Tupu oke ọkpa akwa akwa taa, ị ga-agọnarị m ugboro atọ.”
And the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter; then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how He had said to him, “Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
62 Ma ọ pụrụ nʼezi gaa bee akwa na mwute.
And going outside he wept bitterly.
63 Ndị ahụ na-eche ya nche bidoro na-akwa ya emo na-etikwa ya ihe.
The men who were guarding Jesus started mocking and beating Him.
64 Ha jiri akwa kechie ya anya, sị ya, “Buo amụma, onye tiri gị ihe?”
And having blindfolded Him they would hit His face and ask Him, saying: “Prophesy! Who was it who struck you?”
65 Ha kwukwara ọtụtụ okwu ọjọọ na nke mkparị megide ya.
And they kept saying many other insulting things to Him.
66 Mgbe chi bọrọ, nzukọ ndị okenye na ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu zukọtara, a kpọtakwara Jisọs nʼihu ha.
As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, came together and brought Him before their council, saying,
67 Ha na-ekwu, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Kraịst, gwa anyị.” Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na m agwa unu, unu agaghị ekwe.
“If you are the Messiah, tell us.” But He said to them: “If I tell you, you simply will not believe.
68 Ọ bụrụkwa na m ajụọ unu ajụjụ, unu agaghị aza m.
But if I also question you, you will neither answer nor release me.
69 Ma site ugbu a gawa, Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-anọdụ ala nʼaka nri nke ike Chineke.”
Hereafter the Son of the Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70 Ha niile sịrị, “Gị onwe gị, ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke?” Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu kwuru na Abụ m.”
Then they all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You say it because I AM!”
71 Mgbe ahụ ha sịrị, “Gịnị mere anyị ji na-achọ onye akaebe ọzọ? Anyị ejirila ntị anyị nụrụ ya site nʼọnụ ya.”
Then they said: “What further testimony do we need? We ourselves have heard it from his mouth!”
