Matai 27
1 Pu useikhi unghwa pavasikhu nghwavile ngufikhe avavaha voni avavatekhencha navavaha vavanu pu vakhalundamana pakhunchovana umwakhubudeila u Yeisu.
When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;
2 Puvakhankunga vakhandonghoncha ulukhuluta khwa piate undolei va khilungha.
and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor.
3 Pu leino u Yuta, uvei anghalavandwikhe u Yeisu avye avwene valamwile ukhuta u Yeisu vabude, pu einumbula yeikhambava pu akhaluta khukilivula indalama inchuvapile eimilevulu gheidatu,
Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High Priests and Elders
4 akhavakilivuleila avatekhenchi avavaha na vanyivaha, U Yuta akhata, “Neitulile einongwa pakhunghunghalavandukha unkisa unghule nchila nongwa.”puleino vakhata, “Yeikhutuvumbuleila kheikhi ufwe? Pu angho vweilolehanghe yuve.”
and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business."
5 Pu leino umwene akhalaha pasi indalama munyumba eimbalanche pavalekhinchi uvuva pile pu umwene akhaluta khukhilulikha.
Flinging the shekels into the Sanctuary he left the place, and went and hanged himself.
6 Umbaha vavatekhenchi akhanjitova indalama nchila unchu alahile pasi vakhata, “Vakhata salunonu ukhuveikha mundisanukha lya ndalama incha pelela, pakhuva ndalamanha nkisa inchi.”
When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."
7 Puvakhinchofanja pupaninie voni vakhidei hana ukhuta puvanguleile eikhulunga, eilileivunchi lya mbumbafivya vakhata pupakhusyiela avanghenji.
So after consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;
8 Pu leino eililevunchi leila likheilangiwa, “Lilevnji lya nkisa” nanchi sikhu inchi.
for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of 'the Field of Blood.'
9 Puleino eilimenyu leila eilyulya nchovivwe munyamalangho U Yeleimia puleikhava leimalile ukhuvombekha upuatenchangha, “Vatwalile indalama eimilevulu nghidatu, eilinghunchi eilyakhunghula umwene, eilinghunchi eilyangu nchiwe na vanu vamu Israeili ya mwene,
Then were fulfilled the words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, "And I took the thirty shekels, the price of the prized one on whom Israelites had set a price,
10 Puvakhavombela ukhunghuleila eililevunchi lyambumba fiyya, nduvuandanghile Unkuludeva.”
and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
11 Pu leino u Yeisu akhima pandoleili vakhilunga, pu undoleli akhambuncha, “Pu uve veve Nkuludava va Vayuta?” U Yeisu akhamula akhata, “Uveve vuvwita.”
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.
12 Puleino vavile vikhumbuleila avavaha va vatekhenchi navanyivaha, sa amule limenyu.
When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.
13 Pu U Pilato akhambuncha akhata, “Pusavupuleikha unghuvikhuvuleila uve?”
"Do you not hear," asked Pilate, "what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?"
14 Pu umwene samwamule eilimenyu naleimo, pu undolaili vakhilungha akhaswingha fincho.
But He made no reply to a single accusation, so that the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 Pu leino pakhinghono eikhivalanche lwale lwiho lwa Vayuta ukhudeinduleila unkungwa umo uveiahaliwe nei khipungha khya vanu.
"Now it was the Governor's custom at the Festival to release some one prisoner, whomsoever the populace desired;
16 Pu useikhi nghula khwale nu nkungwa vanyololo unduti ale vei Balaba.
and at this time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Pu leino vavile valundamine pupaninie avanu pu u Pilato akhava vuncha, “Mwinonghwa neideinduleile uveni?” Pamo neuvadeinduleile U Balaba pamo U Yeisu uveikheilangiwa veikeileisite?”
So when they were now assembled Pilate appealed to them. "Whom shall I release to you," he said, "Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"
18 Avavunchinche pakhuva alumanyile ukhuta vikhungheingha u Yeisu savuli ya khivini.
For he knew that it was from envious hatred that Jesus had been brought before him.
19 Puavile atamile pakheinghoda khya mwene eikhya khuheingheila pu udada va mwene akhasuheila eilimenyu eilita, “U lavombangha kheininie khumunu uywa umbula nonghwa. Pakhuva neinghatanchiwe fincho eilelo munjosi savwi ya munuuywa.”
While he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. "Have nothing to do with that innocent man," she said, "for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through him."
20 Pu leino avavaha vavatekhenchi na vanyivaha vakhavasonga ikhipungha vadovanghe ukhudei nduleila u Balaba, pu u Yeisu abudiwe.
The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.
21 Undoleli vakhilunga akhavavuncha akhata pa ava vaveilei aleikhu mwinonghwa neideinduleile khulyumwe?” akhata, “Balaba.”
So when the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "Barabbas!"
22 Pu u Pilato akhavavula, “Pu neinghale ndakheikhi u Yeisu uvei ikheilangiwa keileisite?” Voni vakhamula vakhata, “Aloveleliwe pakheidameileihanie”
"What then," said Pilate, "shall I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" With one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"
23 Undoleli vakhelungha akhavuncha, “Akhata avombile vuvivi vukhi?” Pu avene valeikhyo vela fincho amamenyu, “Alovelelwe.”
"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "Let him be crucified!"
24 Pu u Pilato avile avwene savikhumweidei kha vanghanghile nukhyovela pu akhatola amanghasi akhakalava amavokho eikhipungha vukhilola, akhata, “Neileimbulanonghwa pa nkisa nghwa munu uyu ungholofu pu mweilolelanghe yumwe angha.”
So when he saw that he could gain nothing, but that on the contrary there was a riot threatening, he called for water and washed his hands in sight of them all, saying, "I am not responsible for this murder: you must answer for it."
25 Avanu voni vakhata, “Unkisa nghwa mwene nghuvenchanghe palyufwe na vana veito.”
"His blood," replied all the people, "be on us and on our children!"
26 Pu akhadeinduleila u Balaba pu umwene, u Yeisu akhatova ni mbeikhi pu akhavapa avene vakhatovelele pakheidameileihanie.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he ordered to be scourged, and gave Him up to be crucified.
27 Pu leino avasikhali vandolela khilungha vakhatola u Yeisu ukhuluta munyumba eiyakhupembenukhila avasikhali voni vakhalu ndamanapa pa Yeisu.
Then the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.
28 Pu vakhafula eimyenda nghyoni vakhafwaleincha unghwanyingeileincha ufuveifu. Pu vakhahona uludenghuleilo ulwa motoni puvakhaveikha patwe nghwa mwene, puvakha veikha neilinghunghu khukheivokho khya mwene eikhyandyo.
Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.
29 Puvaleikhufunghama pavulongolo pamwene vale khuta, “Tupepencha khuvinkulu aleva vava vayuta, “Pu valeikhukineila?”
They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!"
30 Vakhabehela amati, vakholola eilinghunghu vakhatovela patwe.
Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it.
31 Puvavile vikhukineila vakhafwa unghwanyinjei leincha vakhafwaleincha eimienda nghya mwene, puvakhandongoncha ukhuluta khukhutovelela pakhidameileihanie.
At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
32 Vavile vahumile khunji, vikhambona umunu uva khukilene eilitavwa lya mwene ale vei Simoni, puvakhatola vope ukhuta apeimbe eikheidameihanie.
Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled to carry His cross,
33 Puvavile va fikhe aponu apikheilangiwa pupa Goligota, khukhuta pupavunyali vwantwe.”
and so they came to a place called Golgotha, which means 'Skull-ground.'
34 Pu vakhampa na masilu unghu vahanchinche nei nyongo vakhata anywe. Pu leino avile einonchanjinche mundomo sanywe.
Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted it He refused to drink it.
35 Pu vavile vato velile pakhida meileihanie puveleikhuncha eimienda nghyamwene nukhutenghuleila.
After crucifying Him, they divided His garments among them by lot,
36 Puvakhatama valeikhundolela palapala.
and sat down there on guard.
37 Pantwe pa mwene puvakhaveikha amamenyu unghuvasimbile vakhata, “U YU VEI YEISU, UNKULUDEVA VA VAYUTA.”
Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Pu vakhatovelela paninie na vanyambuda vaveili umo akhava khundyo u yungekhu heinghe.
At the same time two robbers were crucified with Him, one at His right hand and the other at His left.
39 Vala avaluteisyaniangha pala puvale khufwe yula nukhutingha eimintwe nghyavo.
And the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him
40 Puvalei khuta, “Uve yuve ukhatenchangha yavumamula einyumba eimbalanche pu vunchengha khufinghono fidatu, pu vweipokhe yuve! Ungave ulei nswambe va Nguluve, pu vwikhe apo pakhidameileihanie!”
and said, "You who would pull down the Sanctuary and build a new one within three days, save yourself. If you are God's Son, come down from the cross."
41 Navope ava vaha va valekhenchi nava manyakalata navanyivaha pu valeikhu fweyula valeikhuta, aleikhuvapokha avange pu ilemwa ukweipokha yu mwene,
In like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.
42 “Umwene, vei Nkludeva vaka yuta pu eikhe pasi pakhida meileihanie putukhu mwedeikhangha.
"He saved others," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 Aleikhwi huveila kwa Nguluve. Pu ndekhe u UNguluve apokhe leino engave inonghwa pakhuva aleikhuta, 'Une neileinswambe va Nguluve.”
His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him; for he said, 'I am God's Son.'"
44 Pu avanyambuda vala uvuvatovelilwe paninie nu Yeisu navope vakhadukha u Yeisu.
Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers who were being crucified with Him.
45 Pa seikhi unghwa ntanato pakhova neihisi eikhilunga khyoni ukhufikha useikhi unghwa budeikha khumo.
Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was darkness over the whole land;
46 Unghwa vile nghufikhe useikhi unghwa budekha khumo u Yeisu akhakuta fincho akhaleila akhuvela akhata, “Eloi Eloi, Lamasabakitani?” khukhuta, “VeiNguluve, vango vei Nguluve, vango kheikhi undeikhile?”
but about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
47 Avange vavo valepo vuikuta ndavule, pu vakhata, “Ikhumweilanga u Eliya.”
"The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.
48 Pu umo khimbeivimbeivei akhanyila akhanchitola akhanda akhanchaba nu sinki pu akhaveikha palunghunghu akhanywesya.
One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine put it on the end of a cane and offered it Him to drink;
49 Pu avange vavo vasinghile vakhata, “Indekhetulole eingave u Eliya ayikhwincha khukhapokha.”
while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to deliver him."
50 Puleino u Yeisu akhakuta akhaleila akhoveela akhadumukha einumbula ya mwene.
But Jesus uttered another loud cry and then yielded up His spirit.
51 Pu eilivaleikha lya mutembile leikha niefukha leikhava ng'ana khunu na khunu ukhuhuma khukyanya ukhufikha pasi. Pu nakhikhilungha khikhalindima na manalawe nghakhabandukha.
Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;
52 Uvunghuli vukhenchembukha, eimiveilei nghya vanu avangholofu avuvangonelile itulu vakhanchukha.
the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.
53 Vakhahuma mulunghuli avile anchukhile umwene, puvakhingeila mumbunchenghe uvuvalanche vakhavonekha khuvanu vingi.
And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.
54 Pu leino unalongonchi vavasikhali na vala avalolelangha khwa Yeisu vakhivwene eikhisenyenge vukhilindima ni nchooni inchunchavonekhangha, puvakhava nuvundwanchi fincho valeikhuta, “Lweli uyu akhale nswambe va Nguluve.”
As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."
55 Vale epwo avadala pala avakongangha ukhuhuma khu Galilai ukhwincha khukhoutanga vale palapala valeikhulola vavaleipavutale.
And there were a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;
56 Muvene avo alepo u Maliya vamugatala nu Maliya uvaninemwa va Yakobu nu Yusefu, nu vaninemwa vavana va Sebedayo.
among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.
57 Pu lyakhimihe, akhincha umunu umo ukavi va khu Alimatai, uyu ale vei Yusefu, eilitawa lya mwene, pu akhipela ikongi va Yeisu.
Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself also had become a disciple of Jesus.
58 Pu akhaluta khwa Pilate khukhoudova umbeilei nghwa Yeisu. Pu u Pilate akhalanghila ukhuta vape.
He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 Pu U Yusefu akhanghutola umbeilei nghwa Yeisu akhanghupinya neimienda ieiminonu fincho eimivalafu hange eimipya,
So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.
60 Pu akhanchikhunghunghonia pavunguli uvupya uvuapunjile pa lunalawe. Akhalei beilusya eilinghanga eilivaha leikhava pandyango leikhadeinda uvunghuli, pwakhahengha.
He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.
61 Valepo u Maliya uva Maghatala nu Maliya u yunge uvaveili vatamile valeikhuvulola uvunghuli.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were both present there, sitting opposite to the sepulchre.
62 Pakhingono eikhyakhilavo khikhyo khyale khinghono khya khwitesania avavaha va vatekhenchi nava Falisai valundamine pupaninie khwa Pilate.
On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.
63 Vakhinchofancha nave vakhata, “Imbala tunkumbusya ukhuta useikhi unghu udesi ula vumwumi, atile.'
"Sir," they said, "we recollect that during his lifetime that impostor pretended that after two days he was to rise to life again.
64 Pa khinghono eikhyadatu ayinchukha ukhuhuma khuvunchukha. Pu uvudesi vwa khuvumaleilo yavwiva vuvivi ukhuluteila pavula uvutanchi.”
So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first."
65 U Pilato akhavavula akhata, “Muvatole avaloleli pu mulute mukhaveikhe avaloleli ndumwuensangheila.”
"You can have a guard," said Pilate: "go and make all safe, as best you can."
66 Pu vakhaluta vakhaveikha avaloleli, uvunghuli vukhava pavuloleli eiliwe leila vakhaleveikha eikhimanyeilo.
So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.
