Matiu 27
1 Mgbe chi bọrọ, ndịisi nchụaja niile na ndị okenye gbara izu megide Jisọs otu ha ga-esi gbuo ya.
Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2 Ya mere, ha kere ya agbụ, duru ya pụọ, nyefee ya nʼaka Pailet onye bụ gọvanọ.
and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.
3 Mgbe Judas, onye ahụ rara Jisọs nye, hụrụ na a maala Jisọs ikpe ọnwụ, o chegharịrị weghachikwara ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye iri ego ọlaọcha atọ ahụ.
Then Judas, which betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Ọ kwuru sị, “Emehiela m, site na ịrara onye aka ya dị ọcha nye ọnwụ.” Ma ha sịrị, “Nke ahụ agbasaghị anyị, ọ bụ mkpa dịrị gị.”
saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou [to it].
5 Ọ wụsara ego ọlaọcha ahụ nʼala ụlọnsọ, pụọ gaa kwụọ ụdọ.
And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.
6 Ndịisi nchụaja tụtụkọtara ego ahụ kwuo sị, “O megidere iwu itinye ego a nʼime ụlọakụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ ego ọbara.”
And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.
7 Mgbe ha gbasịrị izu, ha kwekọtara ma were ego ahụ zụta ala nʼaka otu ọkpụ ite. Ha mere ala ahụ ka ọ bụrụ ebe a na-eli ndị ọbịa.
And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
8 Nke a mere e ji na-akpọ ala ahụ, “Ala Ọbara,” ruo taa.
Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, okwu e kwuru site nʼọnụ Jeremaya onye amụma mezuru. “Ha tụtụkọtara mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha iri atọ, bụ ọnụahịa onye ahụ, nke ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ Izrel kpebiri na a ga-akwụ nʼisi ya.
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom [certain] of the children of Israel did price;
10 Ha ji ego ahụ zụọ ubi onye ọkpụ ite, dị ka Onyenwe anyị nyere m iwu.”
and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
11 Nʼoge a Jisọs guzo nʼihu gọvanọ. Gọvanọ jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ eze ndị Juu?” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Gị onwe gị kwuru ya.”
Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
12 Mgbe ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye boro ya ebubo ụgha, o kwughị ihe ọbụla.
And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Ya mere, Pailet sịrị ya, “Ị naghị anụ ihe ndị a niile ha na-ebo gị?”
Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14 Ma ọ zaghị ọ bụladị otu mkpụrụ okwu nʼebubo ndị ahụ. Ihe a gbagwojuru gọvanọ anya nke ukwuu.
And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marveled greatly.
15 Ugbu a, ọ bụ omenaala gọvanọ nʼoge mmemme na ọ ga-ahapụ otu onye mkpọrọ, bụ onye igwe mmadụ họọrọ.
Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.
16 Ma nʼoge a e nwere otu onye mkpọrọ nke ọtụtụ mmadụ maara nke ọma. A na-akpọ Jisọs Barabas.
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Mgbe igwe mmadụ niile zukọrọ, Pailet sịrị ha, “Onye ka unu chọrọ ka m hapụrụ unu, ọ bụ Jisọs Barabas ka ọ bụ Jisọs onye a na-akpọ Kraịst?”
When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18 Nʼihi na ọ maara nke ọma na ọ bụ site nʼekworo ka ha ji rara Jisọs nye nʼaka ya.
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.
19 Mgbe ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu oche ikpe ya, nwunye ya zitere ozi sị ya, “Wepụkwa aka gị nʼihe gbasara nwoke onye ezi omume ahụ. Nʼihi na ahụjuru m anya na nrọ nʼabalị gara aga nʼihi ya.”
And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20 Ma ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye kwagidere igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha rịọ ya, ka ọ hapụrụ ha Barabas, ma nye ha Jisọs ka ha gbuo ya.
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 Ọzọkwa, gọvanọ sịrị ha, “Nʼime mmadụ abụọ ndị a onye ka unu chọrọ ka m hapụrụ unu?” Ha sịrị, “Barabas!”
But the governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
22 Pailet sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka m ga-eme Jisọs onye a na-akpọ Kraịst?” Ha niile sịrị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus which is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.
23 Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị? Olee ihe ọjọọ o mere?” Ma ha tiri mkpu karịa ka ha si eti na mbụ, na-asị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe! Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 Mgbe Pailet hụrụ na o nweghị ihe ọ pụrụ ime, kama na ụzụ na ọgbaaghara na-amalite. O weere mmiri kwọọ aka ya nʼihu igwe mmadụ ahụ sị ha, “Aka m dị ọcha nʼebe ọbara nwoke a dị. Jirinụ aka unu hụ maka ya.”
So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: see ye [to it].
25 Igwe mmadụ ahụ zaghachiri ya nʼotu olu sị, “Ka ọbara ya dị nʼisi anyị na nʼisi ụmụ anyị!”
And all the people answered and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.
26 Mgbe ahụ ọ hapụụrụ ha Barabas. Mgbe ọ pịachara Jisọs ihe, ọ raara ya nye ka ha kpọgide ya nʼobe.
Then released he unto them Barabbas: but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Mgbe ahụ ndị agha gọvanọ duuru Jisọs baa nʼogige ụlọ ndị agha, mee ka otu ndị agha niile gbaa ya gburugburu.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the palace, and gathered unto him the whole band.
28 Ha yipụrụ ya uwe ya, yinye ya uwe mwụda na-acha uhie uhie.
And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 Ha kpara okpueze nke e ji ogwu mee, kpukwasị ya nʼisi. Ha tinyekwara ya mkpara achara nʼaka nri, gbuo ikpere nʼala nʼihu ya, na-akwa ya emo na-asị, “Ekele, Eze ndị Juu!”
And they plaited a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 Ha gbụrụ ya ọnụ mmiri asọ, werekwa osisi ahụ kụọ ya nʼisi ọtụtụ mgbe.
And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.
31 Mgbe ha ji ya mechaa ihe ọchị, ha yipụrụ ya uwe ahụ, yinyekwa ya uwe nke ya, duuru ya pụọ, ịga kpọgide ya nʼobe.
And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.
32 Mgbe ha na-apụ, ha zutere otu nwoke onye obodo Sirini a na-akpọ Saimọn. Ha manyere ya ka o buru obe ya.
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go [with them], that he might bear his cross.
33 Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼebe a na-akpọ Gọlgọta (nke pụtara, “ebe okpokoro isi”).
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,
34 Ha nyere ya mmanya a gwara ọgwụ ilu ka ọ ṅụọ. Mgbe o detụrụ ya ire, o kweghị ya ọṅụṅụ.
they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35 Mgbe ha kpọgidechara ya nʼelu obe. Ha fere nza nke ha jiri kee uwe ya nʼetiti onwe ha.
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots:
36 Ha nọdụkwara ala nʼebe ahụ na-eche ya nche.
and they sat and watched him there.
37 Nʼelu ebe isi ya dị, ka ha debere ihe ha dekwasịrị ebubo ha boro ya. Nke a bụ ihe ha dere: Onye a bụ Jisọs, Eze ndị Juu.
And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Ha kpọgidekwara ya na ndị ohi abụọ nʼobe. Otu onye nʼaka nri, onye nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe ya.
Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left.
39 Ndị na-agafe nʼụzọ na-ekwutọ ya, na-efufekwa isi ha,
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
40 na-asịkwa, “Leenụ onye nwere ike ịkwatu ụlọnsọ Chineke wughachi ya na mkpụrụ ụbọchị atọ! Zọpụtanụ onwe gị! Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke si nʼelu obe ahụ rịdata!”
and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Ndịisi nchụaja, ndị ozizi iwu na ndị okenye sokwa na-eme ya ihe ọchị, na-asị,
In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,
42 “Ọ zọpụtara ndị ọzọ, ma o nweghị ike ịzọpụta onwe ya. Ọ bụ eze ndị Izrel; ya si nʼelu obe rịdata ugbu a, anyị ga-ekwerekwa na ya.
He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.
43 Ọ tụkwasịrị Chineke obi, ọ bụrụ na ọ masịrị Chineke, ya napụta ya ugbua, nʼihi na o kwuru sị, ‘Abụ m Ọkpara Chineke.’”
He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 Ọ bụladị ndị ohi ahụ a kpọgidekọrọ ha na ya nʼobe nọkwa na-akparị ya.
And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.
45 Ma site nʼelekere iri na abụọ nke ehihie ruo nʼelekere atọ nke ehihie, ọchịchịrị gbachikọtara nʼala ahụ niile.
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 Nʼoge dị ka elekere atọ nke ehihie, Jisọs tiri mkpu nʼoke olu sị, “Elọi, Elọi, lama sabaktani?” (nke pụtara, “Chineke m, Chineke m, gịnị mere i jiri hapụ m?”).
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Mgbe ụfọdụ ndị guzo nʼebe ahụ nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị, “Ọ na-akpọ Ịlaịja.”
And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.
48 Nʼotu oge ahụ kwa otu onye nʼime ha gbaara ọsọ were ogbo denye ya na mmanya gbara ụka, fanye ya nʼosisi, welie ya elu, chee ya ka ọ ṅụọ.
And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 Ma ndị ọzọ sịrị, “Hapụnụ, ka anyị lee ma Ịlaịja ọ ga-abịa ịzọpụta ya.”
And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.
50 Ọzọkwa, Jisọs jiri oke olu tie mkpu, kubie ume.
And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 Nʼotu ntabi anya ahụ kwa, akwa mgbochi nke ụlọnsọ ahụ gbawara site nʼelu ruo nʼala. Ala makwara jijiji. Nkume tiwasịkwara.
And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;
52 Ala ili meghere. A hụrụ ọtụtụ ndị nsọ, ndị nwụrụ anwụ, ka e mere ka ha si nʼọnwụ bilie.
and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;
53 Mgbe ha sitere nʼọnwụ bilie, ha hapụrụ ili ha banye nʼime obodo nsọ, gosikwa ọtụtụ mmadụ onwe ha.
and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.
54 Mgbe ọchịagha, na ndị ya ha nọ nʼebe ahụ na-eche Jisọs nche hụrụ ala ọma jijiji a, na ihe niile mere, ha tụrụ oke egwu. Ha kwuru sị, “Nʼezie, nwoke a bụ Ọkpara Chineke!”
Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
55 Ọtụtụ ụmụ nwanyị nọ nʼebe ahụ, ndị guzo nʼebe dị anya na-ele ihe na-eme. Ha si Galili soro Jisọs, na-ejere ya ozi.
And many women were there beholding from afar, which had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56 Nʼime ha bụ Meri Magdalin, na Meri nne Jemis na Josef, na nne ụmụ Zebedi.
among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Mgbe o ruru anyasị, otu onye ọgaranya si Arimatia aha ya bụ Josef. Onye ya onwe ya bụkwa onye na-eso ụzọ Jisọs,
And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
58 jekwuuru Pailet rịọọ ya ka e bunye ya ozu Jisọs. Pailet nyere iwu ka e bunye ya ozu ahụ.
this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.
59 Josef buuru ozu ya, were ezi akwa ọcha linin na-enwu enwu fụchie ya,
And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 ma gaa lie ya nʼili ọhụrụ nke o gwuuru onwe ya, nʼetiti nkume. O jikwa otu nkume buru ibu kpuchie ọnụ ụzọ ili ahụ, hapụ ya laa.
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
61 Meri Magdalin na Meri nke ọzọ nọ na-ebe ahụ, ha nọdụrụ ala na ncherita ihu ili ahụ.
And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Nʼechi ya, nke bụ ụbọchị na-eso ụbọchị Nkwadebe, ndịisi nchụaja na ndị Farisii zukọrọ jekwuru Pailet.
Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,
63 Ha kwuru sị, “Nna anyị ukwu, anyị na-echeta na mgbe onye ụgha ahụ dị ndụ, ọ sịrị na ya ga-esi nʼọnwụ bilie mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị.
saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.
64 Ya mere, nye iwu ka ndị agha gị na-eche ili ya nche, ruo mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị. Nke a ga-egbochi ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ịga zuru ozu ya. Ka ha ghara ị sịkwa ndị mmadụ na o sitela nʼọnwụ bilie. Ọ bụrụ na ha agha ụgha dị otu a, ọ ga-ajọrọ anyị njọ mgbe ahụ karịa na mbụ.”
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.
65 Pailet gwara ha sị, “Unu nwere otu ndị agha na-eche nche, kpọrọnụ ha gaa mechisie ili ahụ ike dị ka unu si maara eme.”
Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go your way, make it [as] sure as ye can.
66 Ya mere, ha kpọrọ ndị agha gaa mechizie ọnụ ili ahụ. Ha kakwara akara nʼelu nkume ahụ.
So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.
