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 the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him.
2 Ka kuti vavali kuwamba. “Isiñi hamukiti, iri kuti kanji kuvuki inyakanyaka mukati kavantu.”
For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”
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.
While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over his head.
4 Mi kuvena vamwi vavali kuvengete. Chiva wamba kukati kavo nivati, “Ivakanzi lye shinyehero iyi?
But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
5 Iwu munukiso uvali kuswanera kuwuziwa kumashereñi a hitilira miyanda yotatwe ye dinarii, ni kuha kuva shevete. Imi vavali kumu kalimera.
For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.
6 Kono Jesu chawamba, “Mu musiye yenke, mu mu kataleza nzi? Wapanga chitu chilotu kwangu.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
7 Mwina inako yonse vashevete nanwe, mi inakao yonse imwa saka muwola kupanga zilotu kuvali, kono kete muve name inako yonse.
For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8 Wapanga icho cha wola: wa singa muvili wangu haku zikwa.
She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
9 “Chovu niti ni wamba kwenu, konse uko ivangeli kwete ikakutaziwe mwi kanda yonse, icho chapanga uzu mukulwakazi kachika wambiwe, mwikupuzo yakwe.”
Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
10 Lyinu Judasi Isikariyota, zumwe wava vena ikumi ne tovere, a va yendi ku vapurisita vakulwana kuti a wolye kumuva wuzukiza choku muva tambika.
Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
11 Lyahanu mukulwana wa mapurisita hazizuwa, vavali kutavite ni kumu sepisa kumuha mashereñi. Chatanga kulola inzira yate awane chivaka cho kumutambika kuvali.
They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
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 unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”
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 and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. 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 wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
15 Mwa a ka mutondeza inzuvo inkando yi vakanyizwe yahe wulu, muka tuvakanyeze mwateni.”
He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready 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.
His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 Ha chivali chitengu, chakeza ni vekumi nivovere.
When it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 Sina havavali kwi kere he tafule ni kulya, Jesu chati, “Chovuniti ni wamba kwenu, wumwina kwenu yo lya name.”
As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”
19 Vonse vavali lizuwi inkumbu, mi zumwi ni zumwi chiva wamba kwali, “Luli isiñi me?”
They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”
20 Jesu che tava ni kuvawamba kuvali, “nje zumwi wa vena ikumi ne vovere, yozo yo sunsa name inkonko mu kasuva.
He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
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.”
For the Son of Man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not 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 took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”
23 Chahinda i komoki, nikulitumera, ni kuitambika kuvali, mi vonse chiva nya kuili.
He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
24 Chawamba kuvali, “Aya jamalaha angu echilikani, malaha awo etilirwe vangi.
He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is 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.”
Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”
26 Hachiva manite kuzimba luzimbo, chiva yenda hanze kwi Lundu lya Olive.
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Jesu chata kuvali, “Muvonse mumunitiyire, kakuti kuñoletwe, 'Muni kave mulisani mi imberere kazi hasane.'
Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 Kono china mana kuvuswa hape, Kanili tangize kwenu kuya kwa Galileya.”
However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
29 Pitorosi choku mucho kuti, “Nangati vonse kava ku tiyire ime keti ni ni ku tiyiire.”
But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”
30 Jesu chamu wambira kuti, “Cho vuniti nikuwambira, masiku a sunu, mukombwe ni useni kulira kovere, moni sapule kotwatwe.”
Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
31 Kono Pitorosi chati, “Haiva nini wola kufwa nawe, kete nikusampule.” Vonse vava chiva panga i sepiso i swana.
But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.
32 Va veza ku chivaka chi sumpwa Getesimani, Jesu cho kucho varutwana vakwe, “Mu ikale a ha chini rapera.”
They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33 Cha hinda Pitorosi, Jakovo ni Johani choku zwa navo, choku tanga ku wirirwa ne ku katazeha a hulu.
He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34 Cha wamba kuvali, “Luhuho lwangu lu zuwire ku chisa a hulu, nanga kwi nako yefu. Mu shale hanu ni kutonda.”
He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
35 Jesu na ya ha vusuzana, choku wa hansi, choku rapera kuti kambe ni ku wolyeka, iyi inako imu hitirire kwali.
He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36 Nati, “Abba, Tayo, zintu zonse zi wolyeka nawe. Zwisa iyi inkomoki kwangu. Kono isiñi chini saka, Kono yako.”
He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
37 Chaka vola ni kwiza kuvawana valere, mi chawamba kwa Pitorosi, “Simoni, ulere? Wakangwa kutonda nagati i hola yonke?
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?
38 Mutonde ni kulapera iri kuti kanji mwinjiri mumuliko. Luhuho che niti lusaka, kono inyama i kangitwe.”
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Hape chayenda kule ni kukalapera, mi ava severisi manzwi a swana.
Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
40 Hape cha vola ni kukavawana valere, kakuti menso avo avali kulema mi kena vavali kwizi cho kuwamba kwali.
Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t know what to answer him.
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 came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Mu vuke; tuyende. Muvone, uzo yo ni veteka wina hafuhi.”
Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
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.
Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44 Lyahanu yo muveteka avava here chisupo, kuti, “Uzo yete ni chunchune nji yena.”
Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”
45 Judasi hasika, pona aho cheza kwa Jesu nikuwamba, “'Rabbi! mi chamu chunchuna.
When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.
46 Linu chivavika maanza hali ni kumu sumina.
They laid their hands on him and seized him.
47 Kono zumwi yava zimene hembali chazwisa mukwale niku kosola kutwi kwa muhikana wo mupurisita mukulwana.
But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Jesu chawamba kuvali, “mu ka ni izilile mane ili musa, cha mikwale ni che inkolyi kwiza kuni wonda?
Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
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 daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
50 Mi vavena ni Jesu vava musiyi niku valeha.
They all left him, and fled.
51 Mu lombwaana, ya va zwete vulyo inguvo ivali kumuzingerete, avali kwi chilire Jesu. Aho vakwame hava mukwata,
A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
52 chasiya inguvo ye line ni kutiya mapunu.
but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
53 Vavatwali Jesu kumupurisita mukulwana. Uko vavali kungene naye vonse malena vamapurisita, vakulwana, niva ñoli.
They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
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 had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of 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.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56 Kakuti vangi vavaleti vupaki bwa mapa kumulwisa, kono mane vupaki bwavo kena vuva zumizani.
For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.
57 Vamwe ni va zimana avo choku mu hambiriza, ni vaati,
Some stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying,
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 is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”
59 Mane nangati aho hape vupaki vwavo ni vwa vula ku zuminzana.
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?
The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”
61 Kono avali kuntontwere ni kusetava chimwi. Hape mupurisita mukulwana chamuvuza ni kuti, “Jewe Keresite, mwana wozo yo fuyaulitwe?”
But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 Jesu chati, “Jeme. Mi kovone Mwana o Muntu hasana kekale he yanza lyokulisa lya ziho ni kukeza ni makope e wulu.”
Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”
63 Mu purisita mukulwaana cha halula mukanjo wakwe ni kucho, “Tusi saka vumwi vupaki?
The high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?
64 Mwazuwa vunyefuli. Ikatulo yenu jeyihi?” Mi vonse chiva yatula uvu zumwi yoswanera ifu.
You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
65 Vamwi chivatanga kumu swira mate ni kuwumba impata yakwe ni kumu vakula ni kucho kwali, “Porofite!” Mapokola chiva muhinda ni kuka mundama.
Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
66 Linu Pitorosi havali kwina hanze ye rapa, omwina muhikana wo mukazana wo mupurisita mukulwana cheza kwali.
As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
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, she looked at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”
68 Kono ava sampuli, nati, “Kanimwizi kamba kuzuwisisa chizi chowamba nacho.”Lyaho che jira mwirapa.
But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
69 Kono muhikana wo mukazana umo chamuvona nikutanga kuwamba hape kwavo vavali kuzimene, “Uzu mukwame ji zumwi wavo!”
The maid saw him and began again to tell those who stood by, “This 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.”
But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
71 Kono chatanga kulivika muchikuto ni kulinkonka, “Kanizi uzu mukwame umukwete kuwamba zakwe.”
But he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”
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.
The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.
