Matthew 26
1 Tukun Jesus el luti ma inge nukewa nu selos, el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut,
When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,
2 “Tukun len luo, oana kowos etu, ac fah pacl lun Kufwen Alukela, na Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah itukyang in anwuki fin sakseng soko.”
“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 In pacl se inge un mwet tol fulat ac mwet matu elos toeni ke inkul fulat sel Caiaphas, su Mwet Tol Fulat,
At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
4 ac oru pwapa lalos in sruokilya Jesus in lukma tuh in anwuki el.
and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.
5 Na elos fahk, “Enenu kut in tia oru ke pacl in kufwa uh, mweyen ac ku in pirakak lokoalok.”
“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
6 Jesus el som nu Bethany ac muta in lohm sel Simon, sie mwet su musen lepa meet.
While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,
7 Ke Jesus el mongo, oasr sie mutan tuku nu yorol us mwe akmusra keng ac yohk molo ma oan in sie mwe neinyuk orek ke eot alabaster, ac el okoaung nu fin sifal Jesus.
a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
8 Mwet tumal lutlut elos liye ma inge ac elos arulana toasrla kac. Elos siyuk, “Mwe mea in sununteiyuk ma inge?
When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?
9 Mwe akmusra inge ku in kukakinyukla ke moul na yohk, ac mani kac uh sang kasru mwet sukasrup!”
This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
10 Jesus el etu ma elos fahk, ac el fahk nu selos, “Efu kowos ku kaskas akkolukye mutan se inge? Orekma na wo se pa el oru nu sik inge.
Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
11 Ac oasr mwet sukasrup in masrlowos pacl nukewa, a nga ac tia muta yuruwos pacl nukewa.
The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
12 Ke el mosrweyula ouinge, el akoela monuk nu ke pukpuki.
By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.
13 Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, lah yen nukewa ma Pweng Wo se inge lutiyuk we fin faclu, ma el orala inge ac fah srumunyuk in esamyuk el kac.”
Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
14 Na sie sin mwet lutlut singoul luo lun Jesus, el su pangpang Judas Iscariot, el som nu yurin un mwet tol fulat
Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 ac siyuk selos, “Mea kowos ac se nu sik nga fin tukakunulak Jesus nu suwos?” Na elos oakla ipin silver tolngoul ac sang nu sel.
and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 In pacl sac lac, Judas el suk na sie pacl wo lal in eisalang Jesus nu selos.
So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
17 Ke len se meet lun Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol, mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku nu yurin Jesus ac siyuk sel, “Pia acn kom lungse kut in akoela Kufwen Alukela lom an we uh?”
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 Na Jesus el fahk, “Fahla nu yurin sie mukul su oasr in siti uh ac fahk nu sel, ‘Mwet Luti el fahk mu: Pacl luk apkuran me. Nga ac mwet tumuk lutlut ac fah oru Kufwen Alukela lasr in lohm sum.’”
He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”
19 Mwet tumal lutlut elos oru oana ke Jesus el fahk nu selos, ac elos akoela Kufwen Alukela.
So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 Ke ekela, Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut singoul luo elos mutani in mongo.
When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.
21 Ke elos mongo, Jesus el fahk, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, sie suwos ac tukakinyuyak.”
And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
22 Mwet tumal lutlut elos arulana supwarla ke kas inge, ac kais sie selos mutawauk in siyuk sel, “Leum, ya nga pa kom fahk uh?”
They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
23 Na Jesus el fahk, “El su wiyu isongya bread nal nu in ahlu se inge, el pa ac tukakinyuyak.
Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.
24 Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah misa oana ke Ma Simusla fahk, a we nu sin mwet se su ac tukakunulak uh! Funu el tiana isusla lukun wo nu sel!”
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25 Na Judas, el su ac tukakunulak, el siyuk sel, “Mwet Luti, ya nga pa kom fahk uh?” Na Jesus el fahk, “Kom fahk na.”
Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
26 Ke elos mongo, Jesus el eis bread se, sang kulo kac, na el kunsalik ac sang nu sin mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk, “Kowos eis ac mongo; ma inge monuk.”
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
27 Na el eis sie cup, sang kulo kac, ac sang nu selos ac fahk, “Kowos nukewa nim kac.
Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
28 Ma inge srahk lun wuleang su ukuiyukla in eela ma koluk lun mwet puspis.
This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 Nga fahk nu suwos, nga ac fah tia sifil nim wain nwe ke na nga wi kowos nim ke wain sasu in Tokosrai lun Papa tumuk.”
I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
30 Na tukun elos yuk soko on in kaksak, elos illa ac som nu Fineol Olive.
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Na Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Ofong na, kowos nukewa ac fah kaingelik likiyu, oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk: ‘God El ac uniya mwet shepherd, ac sheep uh fah kaingelik.’
Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 Tusruktu ke nga ac sifil akmoulyeyukyak, nga ac fah som meet liki kowos nu Galilee.”
But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
33 Na Peter el kasla ac fahk nu sin Jesus, “Nga ac fah tiana som liki kom, elos inge nukewa finne som liki kom!”
Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”
34 Na Jesus el fahk nu sel Peter, “Pwayena nga fahk nu sum, meet liki won uh ac kahkla ofong, kom ac lafwekinyu pacl tolu.”
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Ac Peter el fahk, “Nga ac tiana lafwekin kom, nga finne ac wi kom misa!” Ac mwet lutlut saya nukewa elos fahk oapana.
Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
36 Na Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som nu in acn se pangpang Gethsemane, ac el fahk nu selos, “Kowos muta inge ac nga ac som nu meeto in pre.”
At that time Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 El eisal Peter ac wen luo natul Zebedee welul, ac el mutawauk in asor ac toasrlana,
He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
38 ac el fahk nu seltal, “Yoklana asor ac toasr lun insiuk, apkuranna nga in misa kac. Komtal mutana inge ac wiyu ngetnget ac soano.”
Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”
39 El fahsr kutu nu meet, ac faksufi ac pre, “O Papa, fin ku, nga siyuk kom in eisla cup in keok se inge likiyu! Tusruktu in tia ou lungse luk, a in ou lungse lom.”
Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Na el folokla nu yurin mwet tumal lutlut tolu ah, tuh eltal nu motul, ac el fahk nu sel Peter, “Ya komtal koflana wiyu soano ke ao sefanna?
Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.
41 Soano ac pre tuh komtal in tia putatyang nu in mwe sruhf. Pwaye, ngun lungse, a ikwa munas.”
“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
42 Na Jesus el sifilpa som ac pre ac fahk, “O Papa, cup in keok se inge fin tia ku in itukla likiyu nwe ke na nga numla, lela ma lungse lom in orek.”
A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”
43 Na el sifil folokla nu yurin mwet tumal lutlut ac liye ke eltal motulna ac tia ku in ngutalik ke mwetkel laltal.
And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.
44 Na Jesus el sifilpa som lukeltal, ac pre ke pacl se aktolu, ac kalweni pacna ma el fahk meet ah.
So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
45 Na el foloko nu yurin mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk, “Ya komtal srakna motul ac mongla? Liye! Sun tari ao se ma Wen nutin Mwet ac tukakinyukyak ac itukyang nu inpoun mwet koluk.
Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Tukakek, kut som. Liye, pa inge mwet se ma ac tukakinyuyak ah!”
Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
47 Jesus el srakna kaskas ke Judas, sie sin mwet singoul luo el tuku. El wi sie un mwet na pus su supweyukme sin un mwet tol fulat ac mwet matu, ac elos us cutlass ac sak in anwuk inpaolos.
While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Mwet se ma tukakunulak ah el tuh fahkang sie mwe akul nu sin u lulap sac: “Mwet se ma nga ac ngokya muta uh pa kowos ac sruokya uh!”
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”
49 Judas el fahsryang na nwe yorol Jesus ac fahk, “Paing kom, Mwet Luti,” na el ngokya mutal.
Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 Na Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Mwet kawuk, oru aksaye ma kom tuku in oru an!” Na elos tuku ac sruokilya Jesus, ac kaprilya.
“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.
51 Ac sie selos su welul Jesus el faesak cutlass natul ac pakela la sren mwet kulansap se lun Mwet Tol Fulat.
At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 Na Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Folokunang cutlass nutum an nu yen oan we an. Elos nukewa su orekmakin cutlass, ac fah misa ke cutlass.
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
53 Ya kom nunku mu nga tia ku in pang nu sin Papa tumuk, na in kitin pacl ah na El ac supwama pus liki legion singoul luo ke lipufan lal?
Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Tusruktu fin ouinge, na ac akpwayeiyuk fuka Ma Simusla ma fahk mu ma inge enenu na in sikyak?”
But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55 Na Jesus el kaskas nu sin un mwet su tuku inge ac fahk, “Ya kowos enenu na in us cutlass ac sak in anwuk in tuh sruokyuwi, oana in mwet pisrapasr sulallal se pa nga? Len nukewa nga muta ac luti in Tempul, a kowos tia sruokyuwi.
At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.
56 Tuh ma inge nukewa orek in akpwayei Ma Simusla ac kas lun mwet palu.” Na mwet tumal lutlut nukewa elos som lukel ac kaingelik.
But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
57 Mwet ma sruokilya Jesus elos kololla nu lohm sel Caiaphas, Mwet Tol Fulat, yen un mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet matu elos tukeni we.
Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.
58 Peter el fahsr loessula tokol nwe ke inkul lun Mwet Tol Fulat. El utyak nu we ac muta yurin mwet karingin inkul uh in liye lah mea ac sikyak.
But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
59 Un mwet tol fulat ac Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat kewa elos tukeni suk ma loh kikiap lain Jesus elos in ku in unilya,
Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.
60 tusruktu elos tia ku in konauk mwatal, finne pus mwet ma tuku ac fahk kas kikiap kacl. Na tok, mwet luo tuyak
But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
61 ac fahk, “Mwet se inge tuh fahk mu, ‘Nga ku in kunausla Tempul lun God ac sifil musaela ke len tolu na.’”
and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
62 Mwet Tol Fulat el tuyak ac fahk nu sin Jesus, “Ya wangin ma kom ac fahk in topuk kas in lain kom inge?”
So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
63 Tusruktu Jesus el mislana tia kas. Na Mwet Tol Fulat el sifil fahk nu sel, “Nga fahk nu sum tuh kom in fulahk nu sesr Inen God moul, ya kom pa Messiah, Wen nutin God?”
But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Na Jesus el topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Kom fahk na. Tuh nga fahk nu suwos nukewa, ingela kowos ac fah liye Wen nutin Mwet ke el muta layen layot Sel su Kulana, ac tuku fin pukunyeng lun kusrao!”
“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 Ke El fahk ma inge, Mwet Tol Fulat el seya nuknuk lal ac fahk, “El kaskas enum lain God! Kut tia sifil enenu mwet loh! Kowos lohng tari enum in kaskas lal uh!
At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.
66 Mea kowos wotela?” Na elos nukewa fahk, “Oasr mwatal. Fal elan misa.”
What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.
67 Na elos aniya mutal ac srunglul, ac elos su puok mutal
Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him
68 elos fahk, “Kom pa Christ. Palya nu sesr lah su puok kom uh!”
and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”
69 Peter el srakna muta inkul lun Mwet Tol Fulat, na sie sin mutan kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat el tuku nu yorol ac fahk nu sel, “Kom pac pa sie mwet ma welul Jesus, mwet Galilee sac.”
Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.
70 Tuh Peter el lafwekin ye mutun mwet nukewa, ac fahk, “Nga tia etu ma kom fahk an.”
But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”
71 Na el oatula nu ke mutunpot uh, ac sie pac sin mutan kulansap uh liyalak ac fahk nu sin mwet ma muta we uh, “Mukul se inge tuh welul Jesus lun Nazareth.”
When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 Na Peter el sifilpa lafwekin ac fahk, “Nga fulahk lah nga tia etu mwet sacn!”
And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”
73 Tok kutu srisrik na mwet ma tu in sac tuku nu yorol Peter ac fahk, “Pwayena lah kom sie selos, mweyen ah in pusrem fahkkomyak!”
After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”
74 Na Peter el fahk, “Nga fulahk lah nga kaskas pwaye! God Elan selngawiyu nga fin kikiap! Nga tia etu mwet sacn!” In pacl sacna won kahkla,
At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
75 na Peter el esamak kas ma Jesus el tuh fahk nu sel: “Meet liki won uh ac kahkla, kom ac lafwekinyu pacl tolu.” El tufokla liki acn sac, ac tung arulana upa.
Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
