Mateu 27
1 Ka kusasani ha ku sika, bonse ba kulwana ba mapurisita ni ba kulwana ba bantu ba ba li kufumba muba wola kwi hayila Jesu.
And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.
2 Ni ba musumina, ni kumu zwisa hateni, ni ku mu twala kwa Pilato mubusi.
And having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Linu ku zwaaho Judasi, ya ba muuzi, na bona Jesu cho nyanswa, mi na baka ni ku booza mali e ikumi ni to tatwe ku maprisita ba kulwana ni ba kulwana,
Then Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4 mi nati, “Ni ba pangi chibi ku uza malaha a sena mulandu. “Mi ni ba cho, “Chinzi icho kwetu? U bone kwa teni umwine.”
saying, I have sinned [in] having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou [to that].
5 Ku zwaho na sohela hansi bu wayawaya bwa mali mu itempele, cho ku katuka, mi na yenda kunze cho ku kali sungilila.
And having cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, he left the place, and went away and hanged himself.
6 Ba kulwana ba maprisita ne ba hinda buwayawaya vwa mali mi ni ba mucho, “Ka ku lukeli ku bika a a mali mu chibikilo ka kuti mali a malaha.”
And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, It is not lawful to cast them into the Corban, since it is [the] price of blood.
7 Ni ba wambola che yo indaba ha mwina mi chawo mali ni ba wuula iwaa lyo ku bumbila tu hambwe mwete ba ku zikwa ma buu kwenda.
And having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter for a burying-ground for strangers.
8 Cheli ibaka lina iwa lisi sumpwa, “Iwaa lya malaha” ne linu izuba buti.
Wherefore that field has been called Blood-field unto this day.
9 Nji kuti chiba wambiwa ni mupolofita Jelemaya chi izuzilizwa, cho kuti, “Ba ba hindi makumi otatwe o buwayawaya, mu wulo u ba tomwa haakwe ni bantu ba Isilaele,
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom [they who were] of the sons of Israel had set a price on,
10 Mi ni baiha ku mwiine we iwa lyo ku bumbila tu hambwe, sina Ireeza mwa bani heli chikuka.”
and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as [the] Lord commanded me.
11 Linu Jesu na zima ha busu bo muyendisi, mi muyendisi na mu buza, “Kana njowe simwine wa ma Juda?” Jesu cho mwi taaba, “Mu wa cho.”
But Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.
12 Kono ha baali kunyanswa ni ba kulwana ba mapurisita ni ba mwi ba kulwana, na bula kwi taaba chimwi.
And when he was accused of the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing.
13 Ku zwaaho Pilato na mucho, “Ko zuwile yonse iyi milandu yo kwete u bikwa?”
Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14 Kono na bula kwi taaba ne haiba li mwina inzwi, ku chita kuti mubusi na shala u komoketwa ahulu.
And he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly.
15 Linu ha mukiti chi bali chizo cho mubusi ku zwisa chifosi chi mwina cha salwa ne bantu bangi bangi.
Now at [the] feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whom they would.
16 Cheyo inako yi swana ku bena ibantiti li ba fosahele ahulu, lyi bali ku sumpwa Barabasi.
And they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.
17 Mi ha baba ku kuunganele ha mwina, Pilato na ba cho, “Njeni wumu saka kuti ni mumu lukulwile? Barabasi, nandi Jesu yo sumpwa Kiristi?”
They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?
18 Kakuti a ba kuiizi kuti ba ba mu woondi bulyo cho muna.
For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.
19 Cho usii keere ha chipura choku watula, mu kaakwe na tumina linzwi kwaalyi nati, “Sanzi u pangi chimwi koozo muntu ya sena mulandu. Kakuti na nyanda ahulu maswe suunu mu chilooto che ibaka lyakwe.”
But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous [man]; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.
20 Ku zwaaho mapurisita bakulwana ne ba kulwana ni ba shongelekeza bungi bungi bwa bantu kuti ba kumbile Barabasi, ne kuti Jesu iye e ihayiwe.
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 Mubusi na ba buuza, “Njeni ku boobele wumu saka kuti nni mumu lukulwile?” Ne ba cho, “Barabasi.”
And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
22 Pilato na ba cho, “Linu ni pange inzi cha Jeeso yoo sumpwa Kilisiti?” Bonse ni be taba, “A bambulwe.”
Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.
23 Mi na cho, “Ibaka, mulandu nzi waa ba pangi?” Mi a bo ni ba huwa ahulu hulu, “Mu mu bambule.”
And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 Mi linu Pilato chinga bona kuti ka kwina cha wola ku panga, mane ni kuti chi kuba tangite mu nyunga, na hinda menzi, cho ku samba ku maanza ha busu bwa bantu bangi, cho kucho kuti, “Ka nina mu laandu cha malaha o zu muntu ya sena mulandu. Mu kuzwe kwenu kuti mu chita bule.”
And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see ye [to it].
25 Bantu bonse ni bati, “A malaha a kwe a be kweetu ne ku baana betu.”
And all the people answering said, His blood [be] on us and on our children.
26 Ku zwaaho na ba sumunwina Barabasi, kono na shimeha Jesu ni ku mu baha kuti a bambulwe.
Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged [him], he delivered up that he might be crucified.
27 Ku zwaaho masole bo mubusi neba leta Jesu ku chikota china mu meekalo a mubusi ni ku kunganya masole mangi.
Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with [them] to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,
28 Ni ba mu zabula cho ku mu bwika chizabalo chi subila.
and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;
29 Ku zwaaho ni ba panga i hwiisi yo miiya ne kuyi mu bika ha mutwi, choku mu bika inkoli mu iyanza lyakwe lya malyo. Ni ba fukama ha busu bwakwe neku musheunwina, niba cho, “Lumele, Simwine wa Majuda!”
and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 Mi neba muswila, mi niba hinda inkoli cho kuyi mu kabisa mu mutwi.
And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat [him] on his head.
31 Haba mana ku musheunwina, cho kumu zabula chizwato ku zwaaho cho kumu zabika zizabalo zaakwe, ne ku mu twala kuku bambulwa.
And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.
32 Haba bati chiba zwila hanze, ni ba waana unkosi yo zwila kwa Sayirine yo sumpwa Sayimoni, u baba hambiliza kuti a yende naabo ne kuti a mu kulikile chifapano.
And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go [with them] that he might bear his cross.
33 Ni beeza ku chibaka chi sumpwa Gologota, chi landununa kuti “Chibaka cha Kagoboli.”
And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,
34 Ni ba muha iwaine yiina shantukwe kuti a nywe. Mi chinga a yi soola, choku sayi nywa.
they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted [it], he would not drink.
35 Haba mana kumu bambula, cho kuli kauhanyekeza zizabalo zakwe choku kaba indaula.
And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots.
36 Ni be kala choku muliisa.
And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.
37 He iwulu lyo mutwi waakwe niba bika iñolo lyo mulandu, li baali ku balika kuti “Uzu nje Jesu, simwine wa Majuda.”
And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.
38 Basaa bobeele ni ba kokotelwa naye, zumwi ku malyo a kwe mi zumwi ku ma moonso.
Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
39 Ba baali ku hita ni ba mu tukoola, ni ba nyunga mitwi yabo
But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads
40 ni bati, “Uwe yo bali kuti moo rutunune itempele choku izaka mu ma zuba o tatwe, lihaze umwine! Haiba u Mwana we Ireeza, suke ha chifapaano!”
and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.
41 Che nzila i swana bapurisita ba kulwana ba baali ku musheunwina, ha mwina ni ba ñoli ni ba kulwana, ni bati,
[And] in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 “A ba ku haza bamwi, kono ka woli ku li haza mwiine. Njeye Simwine wa Isilaele. A suuke ha chifapano, mi ku zwaaho linu njete tu zumine mwaali.
He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.
43 U sepa mwe Ireeza, A Ireeza a mulamulele hahanu buti haiba u saka, ka kuti a baco kuti, 'Njeme mwanaswisu we Ireeza.'”
He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will [have] him. For he said, I am Son of God.
44 Mi basaa ba bati ni ba bambwilwe na ye naabo niba wamba matuka kwali.
And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.
45 Linu ku zwaaho che inako yoku mana iyanza ne ka mwina kerima nika wumba inkanda yonse mbwita kuka sika ku inako yoku mana iyanza ne toone.
Now from [the] sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;
46 Che nako yoku mana iyanza ne toone Jesu na huwa che liinzwi ikando na cho, “Eli, Eli, La ma sabakatani?” yi landununwa kuti, “Ireeza wangu, Ireeza wangu, chinzi ho ni sohelele?”
but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Linu ba mwi ba ba zi meene ukochinga ba zuwa bulyo, ni bati, “U kwete ku sumpa Elija.”
And some of those who stood there, when they heard [it], said, This [man] calls for Elias.
48 Hohwaho bulyo zumwi waabo na tiya choku ka leta chi pongi, cho ku chi niika mwa shantukwe, ni ku chi bika ha luuhe, ni ku muha kuti a nywe.
And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled [it] with vinegar and fixed [it] on a reed, gave him to drink.
49 Bungi bwabo ni bacho, “Mu mu siye yeyena. Tu bone kuti nandi Elija mweze a mu haaza.”
But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.
50 ku zwaaho Jesu hape na huwa che linzwi ikando cho kumana luuho.
And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
51 Boone, i jira lyo mu itempele ni lya haluka ko beele ku zwila kwi uulu ku leta hansi. Mi inkanda ni ya nyanganya, ku zwaaho mabwe choku pwachuka hakati.
And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,
52 Ma kuumbu ni e wuka, mi mi bili ya bantu ba shiyeme ba ba lele ni ba buuka.
and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,
53 Ni baazwa mu makuumbu chinga a buuka ku bafu, nibe njila mu muzi mukando u jolola, mane niba boneka ku bantu bangi.
and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.
54 Mi musenchoriona na bo baba lolelele Jeeso ni ba boona kunyanganya kwe inkanda ni zintu zi bati niza pangahala, cho kuli kalililwa ahulu maswe ni bati, “Cho busakusima uzu ibali mwana we Ireeza.”
But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this [man] was Son of God.
55 Bakulwakazi bangi baba ke ichilile Jeeso ku kazwa kwa Galalia cho kumu babalela ba ba zimene butabule ni ba lolelele.
And there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him,
56 Mukati kaabo ku bena Maria Magadalena, Maria nyina wa Jakobo ni Josefa, ni nyina wa baanaswisu ba Zebedea.
among whom was Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Chinga yaba chitengwana, ni kweza unkosi wo muhumi yo zwa kwa Arimatea, we izina lya Josefa, iye naye ya bali mulutwana wa Jesu.
Now when even was come there came a rich man of Arimathaea, his name Joseph, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus.
58 Na ya kwa Pilato mi na ka kumbila mubili wa Jesu. Pilato na laela kuti a wu hewe.
He, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 Josefa na hinda mubili, na wu bungila mu ijila li jolola,
And Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 mi choku kawu bika mu ikuumbu lyaakwe ihiyai lya ba hindi cho kuli beeza mu ibwe. Ku zwaaho na pindumwina ibwe ikando ha mulyango we ikuumbu mi nali yendela.
and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.
61 Maria Magadalena ni zumwi Maria ku ba bena, ni be keele he shilya lye kuumbu.
But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.
62 Izuba li chilila, i bali izuba lya lo mugivero, Ma purisita ba kulwana ni Bafarisai neba kunganela ha mwiina kwa Pilato.
Now on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,
63 Cho kuti, “Unkosi, tu kumbulukwa kuti zuna shaamapa cho usii hala, a bati nati, 'Kani buuke mazuba otatwe haa hita.'
saying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.
64 Chingi linu u lukele ku laula kuti ikumbu lika liiswa ahulu maswe mbwita luzuba lo butatu. Ni kusabi bulyo balutwana bakwe mu beeze ba muyibe ku zwaaho cho kucho bantu, 'Cha ba buuki kubafu.' Ka kuti ku chenga kwa mamani mani mu ku zambe kwe ntanzi.”
Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.
65 Pilato na bacho kuti, “Mu hinde shangabila. Muyende muka liliise hakando mu mu wolela monse.”
And Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, secure it as well as ye know how.
66 Mi niba yenda cho kuka siinka che ibwe, choku viika shangavira.
And they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch [besides].
