Matiu 26
1 Mgbe Jisọs kwusiri okwu ndị a, ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị,
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 “Dị ka unu maara nke ọma, Mmemme Ngabiga ga-amalite mgbe ụbọchị abụọ gasịrị. Nʼoge ahụ, a ga-ararakwa Nwa nke Mmadụ nye ka a kpọgide ya nʼobe.”
Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Nʼoge ahụ, ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị okenye zukọtara nʼụlọeze otu onyeisi nchụaja a na-akpọ Kaịfas.
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 Ha gbara izu ịchọpụta ụzọ ha ga-esi jide Jisọs na nzuzo gbuo ya.
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5 Ha kwekọrịta sị, “Ọ gaghị abụ nʼoge mmemme ka ọgbaaghara hapụ ịdị nʼetiti ndị mmadụ.”
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 Mgbe Jisọs nọ na Betani, nʼụlọ Saimọn onye ekpenta,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 otu nwanyị bu karama alabasta nke mmanụ otite isi ụtọ dị oke ọnụahịa dị nʼime ya, bịakwutere ya, nke ọ wụsara ya nʼisi dị ka ọ na-anọdụ ala nʼeri nri.
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 Ma mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya hụrụ nke a, iwe were ha nke ukwuu. Ha sịrị, “Olee ụdị ịla nʼiyi dị nke a!
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 A gaara erepụta mmanụ a ego dị ukwuu were ego e retara ya nyere ndị ogbenye aka.”
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 Ebe Jisọs matara ihe ha na-atamu nʼobi ha, ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji esogbu nwanyị a? O merela m ihe dị mma.
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 Unu na ndị ogbenye ga-anọ oge niile, ma ọ bụghị mụ na unu ga-anọ mgbe niile.
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 Nʼihi na site nʼịwụ m mmanụ otite a nʼahụ, o doziela m maka olili.
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Nʼezie, ana m agwa unu, nʼebe ọbụla ezisara oziọma a nʼụwa niile, a ga na-echeta nwanyị a nʼihi ihe ọma a o meere m.”
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 Mgbe ahụ otu nʼime mmadụ iri na abụọ na-eso ụzọ ya, onye aha ya bụ Judas Iskarịọt, jekwuuru ndịisi nchụaja.
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị ka unu ga-enye m ma m rara ya nye nʼaka unu?” Ha kwụrụ ya iri mkpụrụ ọlaọcha atọ.
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 Site nʼoge ahụ na-aga, ọ chọrọ ohere ịrara ya nye nʼaka ha.
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko, ndị na-eso ụzọ Jisọs bịakwutere ya jụọ ya sị, “Ebee ka ị chọrọ ka anyị gaa kwadoro gị ihe gị maka oriri Ngabiga?”
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 Ọ zara ha sị, “Jekwurunụ otu nwoke nʼime obodo sị ya, Onye ozizi sị, ‘Oge m abịala nso. Mụ na ndị na-eso ụzọ m ga-eri oriri Ngabiga nʼụlọ gị.’”
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya mere dị ka Jisọs gwara ha, doziekwa oriri Ngabiga ahụ nʼebe ahụ.
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Nʼuhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iri na abụọ ahụ nọdụrụ ala nʼoche nri ahụ.
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21 Mgbe ha na-eri nri, o kwuru sị, “Nʼezie ana m agwa unu, na otu onye nʼime unu ga-arara m nye.”
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Ha nwere oke mwute, ma malite ịjụ ya nʼotu nʼotu sị, “Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ m?”
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23 Ma ọ zara ha sị, “Ọ bụ onye ahụ mụ na ya na-amanyekọta aka nʼotu efere ga-arara m nye.
And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 Lee Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-ala dị ka e si buo ya nʼamụma. Ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị nwoke ahụ onye a ga-esite nʼaka ya rara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye. Ọ gaara akara onye ahụ mma ma a sị na a mụghị ya amụ.”
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Judas, onye ahụ raara ya nye jụrụ ya sị, “Onye ozizi ọ bụ m?” Ọ zara sị, “Gị onwe gị ekwuola ya.”
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26 Mgbe ha nọkwa na-eri nri, Jisọs were ogbe achịcha ahụ, mgbe o nyechara ekele, ọ nyawara ya nye ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị ha, “Naranụ nke a rie, nʼihi na nke a bụ anụ ahụ m.”
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 Mgbe ahụ kwa, o burukwara iko mmanya, ma mgbe o nyechara ekele, o bunyere ya ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị ha, “Unu niile ṅụọnụ site nʼiko a.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 Nʼihi na nke a bụ ọbara m nke bụ akara ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ ahụ. A na-awụsa ya maka ọtụtụ mgbaghara mmehie.
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 Ana m agwa unu, na-agaghị m aṅụ mmanya sitere na mkpụrụ vaịnị ọzọ, tutu ruo ụbọchị ahụ mụ na unu ga-aṅụ ya nʼụzọ dị iche nʼalaeze Nna m.”
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
30 Mgbe ha bụsịrị abụ, ha pụrụ gaa nʼUgwu Oliv.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31 Mgbe ahụ Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Nʼabalị taa, unu niile ga-agbahapụ naanị m. Nʼihi na e dere ya, sị: “‘Aga m etigbu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, atụrụ nke igwe atụrụ ahụ ga-agbasasịkwa.’
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
32 Ma mgbe e mere ka m si nʼọnwụ bilite, aga m ebu unu ụzọ gaa Galili.”
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Pita sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ niile agbahapụ gị gbalaga, agaghị m ahapụ gị.”
Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Jisọs sịrị, “Nʼezie agwa m gị, nʼabalị taa, tupu oke ọkụkụ akwaa akwa, ị ga-agọnarị m ugboro atọ.”
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Ma Pita kwuru sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị mkpa ka m soro gị nwụọ, agaghị m agọnarị gị.” Ọ bụkwa otu ihe ahụ ka ndị ahụ niile na-eso ụzọ ya kwuru.
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Mgbe Jisọs bịara nʼogige ahụ a na-akpọ Getsameni, ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị ha, “Nọdụnụ nʼebe a ka m gaa nʼihu nke nta kpee ekpere.”
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 Ọ kpọọrọ Pita tinyere onwe ya, na ụmụ Zebedi abụọ. Ọ malitere inwe obi mwute nʼime onwe ya. Obi malitekwara ịlọ ya mmiri.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Mgbe ahụ ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ na-ewute mkpụrụobi m nke ukwuu ruo nʼọnụ ọnwụ. Nọgidenụ nʼebe a soro m na-eche nche.”
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 Ọ gara nʼihu nke nta daa, kpuo ihu ya nʼala, kpee ekpere sị, “Nna m, ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-ekwe mee, napụ m iko a. Ma ọ bụghị ka e mee uche m, kama ka e mee uche gị.”
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 Ya mere, ọ bịakwutere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, hụ ha ka ha na-arahụ ụra. Ọ sịrị Pita, “Ọ bụ na unu enweghị ike i soro m chee nche, ọ bụladị otu awa?
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Na-echenụ nche, na-ekpekwa ekpere, ka unu ghara ịba nʼọnwụnwa. Nʼihi na mmụọ dị na njikere ma anụ ahụ adịghị ike.”
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 Ọ laghachiri azụ nke ugboro abụọ kpeekwa ekpere sị, “Nna m, ọ bụrụ na iko a agaghị agabiga ma ọ bụghị na m ṅụrụ ya, ka e mee uche gị.”
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 Ọ lọghachikwara ọzọ hụkwa ka ha na-arahụ ụra, nʼihi na anya ha dị arọ.
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 Ọ hapụrụ ha ọzọ gaa kpee ekpere nke ugboro atọ, na-ekwukwa otu okwu ahụ.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Mgbe ọ lọghachikwutere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, ọ sịrị ha, “Unu ka nọ na-arahụ ụra, na-ezukwa ike? Lee, oge awa ahụ abịala, a rarala Nwa nke Mmadụ nye nʼaka ndị mmehie.
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Bilienụ ka anyị gawa. Lee, onye ahụ na-arara m nye na-abịa!”
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47 Mgbe ọ nọ na-ekwu okwu a, Judas, otu nʼime ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ bịaruru, ya na ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ so. Ụfọdụ ji mma agha ha, ndị ọzọ ji osisi. Ọ bụ ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye ndị Juu zitere ha.
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Ma onye ahụ na-arara ya nye, nyere ha ihe ịrịbama, sị, “Onye ahụ m ga-esutu ọnụ bụ nwoke ahụ, jidesienụ ya aka ike!”
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49 Ngwangwa o jekwuuru Jisọs sị ya, “Ekele, Onye ozizi!” ma sutukwa ya ọnụ.
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 Jisọs gwara ya sị, “Enyi m, mee ihe ị bịara ime ngwangwa.” Mgbe ahụ, ndị ikom ahụ bịara nso jide Jisọs, sekpụrụ ya nʼike.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Otu onye nʼime ndị ha na Jisọs nọ, setịrị aka ya, mịpụta mma agha ya, gbuo ohu onyeisi nchụaja, gbupụ ntị ya.
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
52 Ma Jisọs sịrị ya, “Mịghachi mma agha gị nʼọbọ ya, nʼihi na mmadụ ọbụla na-eji mma egbu mmadụ ibe ya ga-anwụ site na mma.
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 I cheghị na m pụrụ ịrịọ Nna m ka o zitere m ihe karịrị usuu ndị mmụọ ozi iri na abụọ nʼotu ntabi anya?
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Ma olee otu ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ ga-esi mezuo, nke kwuru na ọ ghaghị ịdị otu a?”
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 Nʼoge awa ahụ, Jisọs gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ sị, “Unu pụtara chịrị mma agha na mkpọ bịa ijide m dị ka a ga-asị na m bụ onye ohi? Anọrọla m ziekwa ihe nʼụlọnsọ kwa ụbọchị, ma unu ejideghị m.
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 Ma ihe ndị a na-eme ka ihe ndị amụma dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ mezuo.” Nʼoge ihe ndị a niile na-eme, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya niile hapụrụ ya gbalaga.
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 Ndị jidere Jisọs duuru ya gaa nʼụlọ Kaịfas, onyeisi nchụaja. Ndị ozizi iwu na ndị okenye ndị Juu zukọtara nʼebe ahụ.
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 Pita sogidere Jisọs nʼazụ site nʼebe dị anya. O rutere nʼobi onyeisi nchụaja, baa nʼime ụlọ, sorokwa ndị na-eje ozi nọdụ ala, ka o nwe ike ịhụ otu ihe a ga-esi bie.
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Ndịisi nchụaja, na ndịisi ikpe nʼụlọikpe ahụ nọ na-achọ ama ụgha megide Jisọs, ka ha hụ ụzọ ha ga-esi gbuo ya.
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60 Ma ọ dịghị nke ha chọtara, nʼagbanyeghị nʼọtụtụ ndị akaebe ụgha pụtara. Nʼikpeazụ, mmadụ abụọ pụtara
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 kwuo sị, “Nwoke a sịrị, ‘Enwere m ike ịkwatu ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Chineke, wughachikwa ya nʼụbọchị atọ.’”
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 Onyeisi nchụaja biliri ọtọ kwuo sị, “Ọ bụ na ị nweghị ihe ọbụla ị ga-aza? Gịnị bụ ama ndị a a na-agba megide gị?”
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
63 Ma Jisọs ekwughị ihe ọbụla. Onyeisi nchụaja gwara ya sị, Eji m aha Chineke dị ndụ nye gị iwu, sị gị, “gwa anyị, ị bụ Kraịst, Ọkpara Chineke?”
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Jisọs gwara ya sị, “Gị onwe gị kwuru ya. Ma ana m agwa unu, site ugbu a na-aga nʼihu, unu ga-ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-anọdụ nʼaka nri nke Onye dị ike, na-abịakwa nʼigwe ojii nke eluigwe.”
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 Mgbe ahụ onyeisi nchụaja dọwara uwe ya, kwuo sị, “O kwuola arụ! Olee mkpa ọ dị ịchọkwa ndị akaebe? Unu nụkwara nkwulu ya?
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 Gịnị bụ mkpebi unu?” Ha zara sị ya, “O kwesiri ka ọ nwụọ!”
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Mgbe ahụ, ha gbụsara ya ọnụ mmiri asọ nʼihu, tiekwa ya aka. Ndị ọzọ maara ya ụra,
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 sị ya, “Buoro anyị amụma, gị, Kraịst. Onye tiri gị ihe?”
Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
69 Mgbe ahụ Pita nọdụrụ ala na mbara ezi nke obi ahụ. Otu nʼime ụmụ agbọghọ na-eje ozi bịakwutere ya, sị, “Ị bụkwanụ otu nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ Jisọs onye Galili.”
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70 Ma ọ gọrọ nʼihu ha niile sị, “Amaghị m ihe ị na-ekwu.”
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 Mgbe ọ pụrụ gaa nọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ mbata, nwaagbọghọ ọzọ hụrụ ya, gwa ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ sị, “Nwoke a na Jisọs onye Nazaret nọkọrọ.”
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 Ọzọkwa, o weere ịṅụ iyi gọọ, “Amaghị m onye nwoke ahụ bụ.”
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 Mgbe oge nta gasịrị, ndị guzo nʼebe ahụ bịakwutere Pita sị ya, “Nʼezie, ịbụ otu nʼime ha, nʼihi na asụsụ gị agbaala gị ama.”
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee.
74 Ọ malitere ịbụ onwe ya ọnụ, na ịṅụ iyi sị, “Amaghị m nwoke a.” Mgbe ahụkwa oke ọkpa kwara akwa.
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 Pita chetara okwu ahụ Jisọs kwuru sị, “Tupu oke ọkpa akwaa akwa, ị ga-agọnarị m ugbo atọ.” O si nʼebe ahụ pụọ, gaa kwaa akwa nke ukwuu.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
