Mareka 14
1 Chiyi vali hanu mazuva overe niwuseni kusika mukiti we Paseka ni Mukiti we nkonko isena Mulungo. Mukulwana wavaPurisita ni vañoli vavali kunganisisa mwete vawolere kuwonda Jesu ni kumwihaya.
It was now two days before Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the religious leaders were trying to find a surreptitious way to arrest Jesus and have him killed.
2 Ka kuti vavali kuwamba. “Isiñi hamukiti, iri kuti kanji kuvuki inyakanyaka mukati kavantu.”
“But not during Passover,” they said to themselves, “otherwise the people may riot.”
3 Lyahanu Jesu avena mwa Betani mwizuvo ya Simoni we mbingwa, sina havali kwikere he tafule, mukulwakazi chakeza kwali ni votera lya alabasitera lyomunikiso undula ahulu, uvali wa menzi a nandi. Cha pwachula ivotera ni kuitira hamutwi wakwe.
Meanwhile Jesus was in Bethany, eating a meal at Simon the leper's home. A woman came in with an alabaster jar of very expensive pure nard perfume. She broke the jar open and poured the perfume on Jesus' head.
4 Mi kuvena vamwi vavali kuvengete. Chiva wamba kukati kavo nivati, “Ivakanzi lye shinyehero iyi?
Some of those who were there became annoyed and said, “Why waste this perfume?
5 Iwu munukiso uvali kuswanera kuwuziwa kumashereñi a hitilira miyanda yotatwe ye dinarii, ni kuha kuva shevete. Imi vavali kumu kalimera.
It could've been sold for a year's wages and the money given to the poor.” They were angry with her.
6 Kono Jesu chawamba, “Mu musiye yenke, mu mu kataleza nzi? Wapanga chitu chilotu kwangu.
But Jesus replied, “Leave her alone! Why are you criticizing her for doing something beautiful to me?
7 Mwina inako yonse vashevete nanwe, mi inakao yonse imwa saka muwola kupanga zilotu kuvali, kono kete muve name inako yonse.
You'll always have the poor with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you won't always have me with you.
8 Wapanga icho cha wola: wa singa muvili wangu haku zikwa.
She did what she could: she anointed my body in anticipation of my burial.
9 “Chovu niti ni wamba kwenu, konse uko ivangeli kwete ikakutaziwe mwi kanda yonse, icho chapanga uzu mukulwakazi kachika wambiwe, mwikupuzo yakwe.”
I tell you the truth: wherever the good news is spread in the world, people will remember what she did.”
10 Lyinu Judasi Isikariyota, zumwe wava vena ikumi ne tovere, a va yendi ku vapurisita vakulwana kuti a wolye kumuva wuzukiza choku muva tambika.
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the chief priests and arranged to betray Jesus to them.
11 Lyahanu mukulwana wa mapurisita hazizuwa, vavali kutavite ni kumu sepisa kumuha mashereñi. Chatanga kulola inzira yate awane chivaka cho kumutambika kuvali.
When they heard this, they were delighted, and promised to pay him. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
12 Mu izuva lye ntazi lye chinkwe chisena mumera, chinga va panga chitavero che imberere ye paseka, varutwana vakwe choku mucho kuti, “U saka kuti tuye kuhi kutu wola kuka ku vakanyeza zilyio ze paseka, iri kuti ukalye zilyo ze paseka?
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the time when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the Passover meal for you?”
13 Choku tuma vovere va varutwana vakwe choku vacho kuti, “Mu kwiya mu muleneñi, ku zwaho mumu wane mukwame yo hindite kahambwe kamenzi mwami katane. Mu muichirire.
He sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city and there you'll meet a man carrying a water pot. Follow him,
14 Mu inzuvo yeeti a ke injire, mu muichirire mo mi muka cho kusi inzuvo kuti, 'Muruti ucho kuti, inzuvo yangu yeti ni lyire ipaseka ne varutwana vangu yina kuhi?'”
and when he goes into a house, ask the owner where I and my disciples can celebrate the Passover.
15 Mwa a ka mutondeza inzuvo inkando yi vakanyizwe yahe wulu, muka tuvakanyeze mwateni.”
He will take you to a large upstairs room that is furnished and ready. You can make preparations for us there.”
16 Varutwana ni va zwa ni kuyenda mumuleneñi. Mi ni va ka wani chimwe ne chimwe china sina mwa a vawambiri kuvali, mi.
The disciples went into the city, and found things just as he'd described them. They prepared the Passover meal.
17 Ha chivali chitengu, chakeza ni vekumi nivovere.
In the evening Jesus went there with the twelve disciples.
18 Sina havavali kwi kere he tafule ni kulya, Jesu chati, “Chovuniti ni wamba kwenu, wumwina kwenu yo lya name.”
While they were sitting eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth: one of you is going to betray me; one who is eating with me now.”
19 Vonse vavali lizuwi inkumbu, mi zumwi ni zumwi chiva wamba kwali, “Luli isiñi me?”
They were shocked, and they each asked, “It's not me, is it?”
20 Jesu che tava ni kuvawamba kuvali, “nje zumwi wa vena ikumi ne vovere, yozo yo sunsa name inkonko mu kasuva.
“It's one of the Twelve, one of you sharing this food with me,” he replied.
21 Kakuti Mwana wo Muntu mwayende mwinzira iyo mañolo awamba kuyamana naye. Mi ku mayivite kozuo mukwame yo veteka Mwana o Muntu! Ku vaa shiyeme kuti kalyi uzu muntu na sana a va zalwa.”
“The Son of man will die, just as the Scriptures predicted. But how terrible it will be for the man who betrays the Son of man! It would be better for that man if he'd never been born.”
22 Chi va si kwete kulyia, Jesu cha hinda chinkwe, ni kuchi fuyola, ni kuchi jamona. Ava chivahi ni kuwamba, “Muhinde ichi. Uwu chimuviri wangu.”
As they were eating, Jesus picked up some bread. He blessed it, and gave it to them. “Take it. This is my body,” he told them.
23 Chahinda i komoki, nikulitumera, ni kuitambika kuvali, mi vonse chiva nya kuili.
Then he picked up the cup. He blessed it, and gave it to them. They all drank from it.
24 Chawamba kuvali, “Aya jamalaha angu echilikani, malaha awo etilirwe vangi.
“This is my blood,” he told them, “the agreement that's being poured out for many.
25 Chovu niti niwamba kwenu, Kasane kani nywe hape kwezi zihikantu hape ze veine kusikira kusikira lina izuva hate kani inwe mumuvuso we Ireeza.”
I tell you the truth, I won't drink of the fruit of the vine until the day I drink it fresh in God's kingdom.”
26 Hachiva manite kuzimba luzimbo, chiva yenda hanze kwi Lundu lya Olive.
After they had sung a psalm, they left for the Mount of Olives.
27 Jesu chata kuvali, “Muvonse mumunitiyire, kakuti kuñoletwe, 'Muni kave mulisani mi imberere kazi hasane.'
“All of you will abandon me,” Jesus told them. “For as the Scriptures say, ‘I will attack the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered.’
28 Kono china mana kuvuswa hape, Kanili tangize kwenu kuya kwa Galileya.”
But after I have risen from the dead, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 Pitorosi choku mucho kuti, “Nangati vonse kava ku tiyire ime keti ni ni ku tiyiire.”
“I won't abandon you even if everyone else does,” Peter replied.
30 Jesu chamu wambira kuti, “Cho vuniti nikuwambira, masiku a sunu, mukombwe ni useni kulira kovere, moni sapule kotwatwe.”
Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth that today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny that you even know me three times.”
31 Kono Pitorosi chati, “Haiva nini wola kufwa nawe, kete nikusampule.” Vonse vava chiva panga i sepiso i swana.
But Peter was totally adamant, saying, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you.” All of them said the same.
32 Va veza ku chivaka chi sumpwa Getesimani, Jesu cho kucho varutwana vakwe, “Mu ikale a ha chini rapera.”
They arrived at a place called Gethsemane, where Jesus told his disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray.”
33 Cha hinda Pitorosi, Jakovo ni Johani choku zwa navo, choku tanga ku wirirwa ne ku katazeha a hulu.
He took Peter, James, and John with him. He began to be very disturbed and troubled.
34 Cha wamba kuvali, “Luhuho lwangu lu zuwire ku chisa a hulu, nanga kwi nako yefu. Mu shale hanu ni kutonda.”
Jesus told them, “My agony is so painful it feels like I'm dying. Please, remain here and stay awake.”
35 Jesu na ya ha vusuzana, choku wa hansi, choku rapera kuti kambe ni ku wolyeka, iyi inako imu hitirire kwali.
He went a little farther on and then fell to the ground. He prayed, asking to be spared the time that was coming, if it were possible.
36 Nati, “Abba, Tayo, zintu zonse zi wolyeka nawe. Zwisa iyi inkomoki kwangu. Kono isiñi chini saka, Kono yako.”
“Abba, Father! You can do everything,” he said. “Please, take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet it's not what I want, but what you want.”
37 Chaka vola ni kwiza kuvawana valere, mi chawamba kwa Pitorosi, “Simoni, ulere? Wakangwa kutonda nagati i hola yonke?
Then Jesus returned and found the disciples asleep. “Simon, are you sleeping?” he asked Peter. “Couldn't you stay awake for just an hour?
38 Mutonde ni kulapera iri kuti kanji mwinjiri mumuliko. Luhuho che niti lusaka, kono inyama i kangitwe.”
Stay awake, and pray so you won't fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
39 Hape chayenda kule ni kukalapera, mi ava severisi manzwi a swana.
He left them once more, and prayed, saying the same things.
40 Hape cha vola ni kukavawana valere, kakuti menso avo avali kulema mi kena vavali kwizi cho kuwamba kwali.
Then he returned, and again he found them sleeping because they couldn't keep their eyes open. They didn't know what to say!
41 Cho kuiza lo vutatu na vacho kuti, “Mu si lere ne ku pumula? Muvuke! inako chi ya sika. Muvone! Mwana o Muntu cha vekwa mumanza ava ezalivi.
He returned a third time, and asked them, “Are you still asleep? Are you still resting? Well that's enough, because the time has come! Look, the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Mu vuke; tuyende. Muvone, uzo yo ni veteka wina hafuhi.”
Get up! Let's go! See, here comes my betrayer.”
43 Cho usi kwete ku wamba, Judasi, zumwe wa vena ikumi ne tovere, choku sika, nena ni vantu vangi ni va ka kwete mikwale ni masavule, kukazwa ku vapurisita vakulwana, n vañoli, ni vakulwana.
Just as he was saying this, Judas—one of the twelve disciples—arrived with a mob carrying swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests, religious leaders, and elders.
44 Lyahanu yo muveteka avava here chisupo, kuti, “Uzo yete ni chunchune nji yena.”
Now the betrayer had arranged a sign with them: “He's the one that I kiss. Arrest him, and take him away under guard.”
45 Judasi hasika, pona aho cheza kwa Jesu nikuwamba, “'Rabbi! mi chamu chunchuna.
Judas went right up to Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, and kissed him affectionately.
46 Linu chivavika maanza hali ni kumu sumina.
So they grabbed hold of Jesus and arrested him.
47 Kono zumwi yava zimene hembali chazwisa mukwale niku kosola kutwi kwa muhikana wo mupurisita mukulwana.
But one of those standing there pulled out his sword and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
48 Jesu chawamba kuvali, “mu ka ni izilile mane ili musa, cha mikwale ni che inkolyi kwiza kuni wonda?
“Am I some kind of rebel that you have come to arrest me with swords and clubs?” Jesus asked them.
49 Nivena nenwe izuva nezuva hini vaku siina nnaanwe izu nva niva kuluta mwi tempele, kena muva nisumini. Kono ichi chiva pangahali kuti intimana zi zuzilizwe.”
“I was there with you, teaching in the Temple every day. Why didn't you arrest me then? But this is happening to fulfill the Scriptures.”
50 Mi vavena ni Jesu vava musiyi niku valeha.
Then all Jesus' disciples deserted him and ran away.
51 Mu lombwaana, ya va zwete vulyo inguvo ivali kumuzingerete, avali kwi chilire Jesu. Aho vakwame hava mukwata,
(One of his followers was a young man who was wearing only a linen garment.
52 chasiya inguvo ye line ni kutiya mapunu.
They seized hold of him, but he ran off naked, leaving the garment behind.)
53 Vavatwali Jesu kumupurisita mukulwana. Uko vavali kungene naye vonse malena vamapurisita, vakulwana, niva ñoli.
They took Jesus to the high priest's house where all the chief priests, elders, and religious teachers had gathered.
54 Lyahanu Pitorosi avali kumwi chilire chaka vakazana, mane mbwita kukasika he rapa lya mupurisita mukulwana. Avake kali mukati kava ngateri, vavali kwina hembali ni muliro kuli tukusa.
Peter followed him at a distance, and went into the courtyard of the high priest's house. He sat down with the guards and warmed himself by the fire.
55 Linu mukulwana wava purisita ni nkuta ya Majuda vonse vavali kungana vupaki vuhambiriza Jesu iri kuli vamwi haye. Kono kakwina vuvava wani.
Inside the chief priests and the whole governing council were trying to find some evidence to have Jesus put to death, but they couldn't find anything.
56 Kakuti vangi vavaleti vupaki bwa mapa kumulwisa, kono mane vupaki bwavo kena vuva zumizani.
Many were giving false testimony against him, but their statements didn't agree.
57 Vamwe ni va zimana avo choku mu hambiriza, ni vaati,
Some of them got up to speak falsely against Jesus.
58 “Tu vamu zuwi nati, 'Ka ni rutunune iyi itempere yi va pangwa cha manza, mi ku zwaho njeti nini pange yimwe yi sana yiva pangwa cha manza.'”
“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple that human hands built, and in three days I will build another without hands.’”
59 Mane nangati aho hape vupaki vwavo ni vwa vula ku zuminzana.
But even so their testimony didn't agree.
60 Mu purisita mukulwana ava zimani mukati kavo ni kuvuza Jesu, “Kowina iwe ikalavo? Chintu nzi ava vakwame zivapaka kuamana nawe?
Then the high priest stood up in front of the council, and asked Jesus, “Have you nothing to say in response to these charges made against you?”
61 Kono avali kuntontwere ni kusetava chimwi. Hape mupurisita mukulwana chamuvuza ni kuti, “Jewe Keresite, mwana wozo yo fuyaulitwe?”
But Jesus remained silent and didn't answer. So the high priest asked again, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 Jesu chati, “Jeme. Mi kovone Mwana o Muntu hasana kekale he yanza lyokulisa lya ziho ni kukeza ni makope e wulu.”
“I am,” Jesus replied, “and you will see the Son of man sitting on the right of the Mighty One, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
63 Mu purisita mukulwaana cha halula mukanjo wakwe ni kucho, “Tusi saka vumwi vupaki?
The high priest tore his clothes and asked, “Why do we need any more witnesses?
64 Mwazuwa vunyefuli. Ikatulo yenu jeyihi?” Mi vonse chiva yatula uvu zumwi yoswanera ifu.
You have heard the blasphemy! What's your reaction?” They all found him guilty and condemned him to death.
65 Vamwi chivatanga kumu swira mate ni kuwumba impata yakwe ni kumu vakula ni kucho kwali, “Porofite!” Mapokola chiva muhinda ni kuka mundama.
Then some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him, hit him with their fists, and said, “Why don't you prophesy then, you ‘Prophet’!” The guards took him away and beat him up.
66 Linu Pitorosi havali kwina hanze ye rapa, omwina muhikana wo mukazana wo mupurisita mukulwana cheza kwali.
Meanwhile Peter was down below in the courtyard. One of the high priest's servant-girls passed by,
67 Avavoni Pitorosi sina havali kuzimene ha muliro kuli tukusa, mi chalola hande kwali. Mi cha wamba, “I we nawe uvali kwina nimu Nazareta, Jesu.”
and seeing Peter warming himself, looked straight at him and said, “You were with Jesus of Nazareth too!”
68 Kono ava sampuli, nati, “Kanimwizi kamba kuzuwisisa chizi chowamba nacho.”Lyaho che jira mwirapa.
But he denied it. “I don't know what you're talking about or what you mean,” he replied. Then he went out to the forecourt, and a rooster crowed.
69 Kono muhikana wo mukazana umo chamuvona nikutanga kuwamba hape kwavo vavali kuzimene, “Uzu mukwame ji zumwi wavo!”
Seeing him there, the servant girl repeated to those standing around, “This man is one of them!”
70 Kono cha kanana hape. Hakuhita inako zana vulyo avo vavali kuzimene ho vavali kuwamba kwa Pitorosi, “Kamaniti uzumwi wavo, kakuli nawe umu Galileya.”
Once more Peter denied it. A little while later they said to Peter again, “You're definitely one of them because you're a Galilean too!”
71 Kono chatanga kulivika muchikuto ni kulinkonka, “Kanizi uzu mukwame umukwete kuwamba zakwe.”
Peter began calling down curses on himself and he swore, “I don't know this man who you're talking about.”
72 Mukombwe yahaho chiwa lira lyo vuveri. Mi Pitorosi cha hupula manzwi awo Jesu ava muwambiri: “Pilio mukombwe niuseni kulira tovere, moni sampule to tatwe.” Imi cha virera ni kulira.
Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he realized what he'd done, he burst into tears.
