Luka 22
1 Shikukuu sha mikate jangatagwa ngedule, shishemwa pashaka, shatendaga bhandishila.
Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, also called the Passover, was approaching.
2 Ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na bhaajiganya bha shalia, bhatendaga loleyanga mwa kwabhulajila a Yeshu, ikabhe bhatendaga kwaajogopanga bhandunji.
The chief priests and religious teachers were looking for a way to kill Jesus, but were afraid of what the people would do.
3 Bhai, Lishetani akwaajinjilaga a Yuda Ishikaliote, bhaliji munkumbi gwa mitume kumi na bhabhili bhala.
Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples.
4 A Yuda gubhapite kunguluka na ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na bhakulungwanji bha manjola, shibhapinga kwaendebhuka a Yeshu.
He went and discussed with the chief priests and guard officers how he could betray Jesus.
5 Nabhalabhonji guyaanonyelenje nigubhalegenenje kwaapa mmbiya.
They were delighted, and offered him money.
6 A Yuda gubhakundile, gubhatemi nkuloleya malanga ga mmbone ga kwaatendebhuka a Yeshu gwangali kumumanya bhandu bhabhagwinji.
He agreed, and began to look for an opportunity to hand over Jesus when a crowd would not be there.
7 Bhai, lyubha lya mikate jangatagwa ngedule guliishile. Lyubhalyo lya ingwa mwana jwa ngondolo jwa pashaka.
The Day of Unleavened Bread arrived when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8 Kwa nneyo a Yeshu gubhaatumilenje a Petili na a Yowana, gubhaalugulilenje, “Nnjendangane nkakolokoyanje shalya tulye pashaka.”
Jesus sent Peter and John, telling them, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”
9 Gubhaabhushiyenje, “Punkupinga tukakolokoye kwei?”
They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare for it?”
10 Gubhaalugulilenje, “Mpilikananje! Pushinnjendangane kunnjini, shinng'imikananje na jwannume jumo ajigele lulo lwa mashi. Munkagulanje mpaka nnyumba jashaajinjile.
He replied, “When you enter the city you'll meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him and go into the house he enters.
11 Mwaalugulilanje bhayene nyumba, ‘Bhaajiganya bhanakummuya, jili kwei kati jibhapinga lila pashaka na bhaajiganywa bhabho?’
Tell the owner of the house that the Teacher asks you, ‘Where is the dining room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12 Na bhenebho shibhannangulanje kati jikulungwa kugolopa jikonjeleywe, nnkolokoyanje mwenemo.”
He'll show you a large upstairs room that already has the necessary furniture. Prepare the meal there.”
13 Bhai, gubhapitengene, gubhaimenenje indu yowe malinga shibhabhalanjilwenje na a Yeshu, gubhakolokoyenje shalya sha pashaka.
They went and found that everything was just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal there.
14 Malanga gakatimilileje, a Yeshu gubhatemi pamo na mitume bhabho nkulya shalya.
When the time came, he sat down at the table with his apostles. He told them,
15 Gubhaalugulilenje, “Njilokolila kaje kulya pashakaji pamo na mmanganya nganabhe potekwa.
“I've been really looking forward to eating this Passover meal with you before my sufferings begin.
16 Pabha ngajilya kabhili mpaka penepo pushijimalile mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu.”
I tell you I shall not eat it again until the time is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 Kungai gubhatolile shikombe sha divai, gubhatendile eja, gubhashite, “Ntolanje nnepesheyane mmowe.
Jesus took the cup, and after he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.
18 Pabha ngunakummalanjilanga, ngang'wa kabhili divai ja shabhibhu mpaka Upalume gwa a Nnungu pushuishe.”
I tell you that I won't drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 Kungai, gubhatolile nkate, gubhatendile eja, gubhaugebhenye, gubhaapelenje bhalinkuti, “Sheshino shiilu shangu shipinga shoywa kwa ligongo lyenunji. Ntendanje nnei kwa ngumbushila nne.”
He picked up some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it into pieces and gave it to them. “This is my body which is given for you; do this in order to remember me,” Jesus told them.
20 Nneyo peyo bhakalyanganjeje gubhatolile shikombe, gubhashite, “Ashino shikombe shino, sha malagano ga ambi gakong'ondelwa na minyai jangu jijitika kwa ligongo lyenunji.
In the same way after they had finished supper, he picked up the cup and said, “This cup is the new agreement in my blood which is poured out for you.”
21 “Ikabheje, nnolanje! Andendebhuka jula pali na nne pamesha pepano.
“In spite of this, my betrayer is sitting right here with me at the table.
22 Kweli Mwana juka Mundu anakwenda bhulagwa malinga shiipanjilwe, ikabheje ole, mundu andendebhuka.”
For it has been determined that the Son of man will die, yet how disastrous it will be for his betrayer!”
23 Penepo gubhatandubhenje kubhuyana ashaayene, gani shatende yeneyo.
They began to argue among themselves as to who this might be and who could do this.
24 Na kabhili nikoposhela mitau munkumbi gwabonji, kuti gani shabhe nkulungwa kupunda bhananji.
At the same time they also got into a quarrel about which of them was the most important.
25 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhapalume bha ilambo bhanakwaatagwalanga bhandu bhabhonji kwa mashili, ikabhe pubhaashemwanga ‘Bhamituka.’
Jesus told them, “Foreign kings lord it over their subjects, and those having power even want people to call them ‘benefactors.’
26 Ikabheje mmanganya, inabhe nneyo, ali nkulungwa jwenunji anapinjikwa abhe nshoko jwa bhowe, na ali kalongolele abhe malinga ntumishi.
But it should not be so with you! Whoever is highest among you should be like the lowest, and the leader should be like a servant.
27 Igala jwei ali nkulungwa, atama kulya shalya, eu akolokoya jula? Penepo nkulungwa ni atama kulya! Ikabheje nne munkumbi gwetu muno, ni malinga ntumishi.”
Who is greater—the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at the table? But I'm among you as the one who serves.
28 “Mmanganya ntemingene na nne mobha ga lingwa kwangu,
You have stayed with me throughout my trials.
29 na malinga atati shibhangamwiye upalume, nneyo peyo numbe nne ngunakunkamuyanga mmanganya.
And I grant to you authority to rule, just as my Father granted it to me,
30 Nkupinga nniyanganje na papila pamesha jangu, muupalume gwangu, na shintamangane mwiitengu ya ukulungwa kugaukumula makabhila kumi na gabhili ga Ishilaeli.”
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 A Yeshu gubhashite “A Shimoni, a Shimoni! Mpilikane! Lishetani anapinga ampembulanje mmanganya mbuti ngano.
“Simon, Simon—Satan has asked to have all of you to sift like wheat,
32 Ikabheje nne ninnjujile mmwe a Shimoni, nkupinga ngulupai jenu jinapungushe. Na mmwe pushimmujilepo mwaataganje ntima ashaapwenu.”
but I have prayed for you that your trust in me may not fail. And when you have returned, encourage your brothers.”
33 Na a Petili gubhaajangwile, “Mmakulungwa, nne apano nili tayali kwenda tabhwa kumagelesha, nkali kuwa na mmwe.”
Peter said, “Lord, I'm ready to go with you to prison, and to die with you!”
34 A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Ngunakummalanjila mmwe a Petili, lelo lipongo likanabhe kongobhela shinngane patatu.”
Jesus replied, “I'm telling you, Peter, before the cock crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
35 Kungai a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Punantumilenje gwangali nng'uko gwa ela, wala nkobha gwa ilatu, mwatubhilwenje shoshowe?” Gubhajangwilenje, “Nng'oo twanngatubhilwa.”
Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without money, without a bag, and without an extra pair of sandals, did you lack anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied.
36 Gubhaalugulilenje, “Ikabheje nnaino, jwene akwete nng'uko gwa ela jula ajigale, na akwete nkobha, nneyo peyo. Na jojowe jwangali upanga, aushe likoti lyakwe aume gumo.
“But now, if you have money you should take it, as well as a bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
37 Ngunakummalanjilanga, ganapinjikwa gatimilile majandiko gaanugula nne kuti, ‘Bhashinkubhikwa likundi limo na bhaalebhanga,’ elo, gowe gajandikwe kunugula nne ganapinjikwa gamalile.”
I tell you that this statement in Scripture about me must be fulfilled: ‘He was counted with the wicked.’ What was said about me is now being fulfilled.”
38 Na bhalabhonji gubhashitenje, “Mmakulungwa, nnole, apano jipali mipanga jibhili.” Na bhalabho gubhashite, “Bhai shijipwae.”
“Look, Lord, here are two swords,” they said. “That's enough,” he replied.
39 Na malinga shibhayobhelele, a Yeshu gubhapite kushitumbi sha Misheituni, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaakagwilenje.
Jesus left and as usual went to the Mount of Olives together with his disciples.
40 Bhakaikanganeje kweneko gubhaalugulilenje, “Mwaajuganje a Nnungu nnajinjilanga mmalinjilo.”
When he arrived he said to them, “Pray that you don't give in to temptation.”
41 Kungai gubhaaleshilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, gubhapite kwa taliya kashoko kwa leshela mundu liganga kuika, gubhatindibhele nkwaajuga a Nnungu
Then he left them and walked about a stone's throw away, where he kneeled down and prayed.
42 bhalinkuti, “Atati, ibhaga nkupinga, nnjosheye shikombe sha mbotekoshi, nkali nneyo, itendeshe malinga shinkupinga mmwe, na wala nngabha malinga shingupinga nne.”
“Father,” he prayed, “if you're willing, please take away this cup of suffering from me. But I want to do what you want, not what I want.”
43 Malaika kukopoka kunnungu akwaakoposhelega kukwaataga ntima.
Then an angel appeared from heaven to strengthen him.
44 Bhali mmboteko ya kaje, gubhamindile kwaajuga a Nnungu, na matukuta gabho nibha mbuti mandondo ga minyai, galindolishila pai.
In great distress Jesus prayed even harder, and his sweat fell like drops of blood onto the ground.
45 Bhakaajuganjeje a Nnungu, gubhabhujile kubhaajiganywa bhabho, gubhaaimenenje bhagonilenje lugono kwa totoshela nkuinjika.
He finished praying, stood up, and went over to the disciples. He found them asleep, worn out by grief.
46 Gubhaabhushiyenje, “Pakubha nnagonanga? Nnjumukanje maajuganje a Nnungu, nnajinjilanga mmalinjilo.”
“Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you won't fall into temptation.”
47 A Yeshu bhakanabhe peya kubheleketa, likundi lya bhandunji guliishe lililongoywa na Yuda, bha munkumbi gwa kumi na bhabhili bhala. A Yuda gubhaabhandishile a Yeshu nkupinga kwaalamba.
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas went up to Jesus to kiss him.
48 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “A Yuda! Bhuli, nnakuntendebhuka Mwana juka Mundu kwa kunnamba?”
But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of man with a kiss?”
49 Bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakabhonanjeje nneila gubhashitenje, “Mmakulungwa, tutole mipanga jetu twaakapanje?”
Jesus' followers asked him, “Lord, should we attack them with our swords?”
50 Na jumo gwaleshele upanga mukantumishi jwa bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila, gwankatile likutu lya kunnilo.
And one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
51 Penepo a Yeshu gubhashite, “Bhai nnekanje!” Gubhalikwashiye likutu lila, gubhannamiye.
“Stop! No more of this!” said Jesus. He touched the man's ear and healed him.
52 Kungai a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila, na ashikalongolele bha bhalinda bha liekalu, na bhanangulungwa bhajilengene kukwakamula, “Bhuli, nnshikwiyangana kungamula na mipanga na ndonga mbuti nne nankupokonyola?
Then Jesus spoke to the chief priests, and the officers of the Temple guard, and the elders. “Am I some kind of criminal that you had to come with swords and clubs?” he asked.
53 Mobha gowe gunaliji na mmanganya nniekalu nkangamulanga nkangamulangaga. Ikabheje gegano ni malanga genunji, malanga ga upalume gwa lubhindu.”
“You didn't arrest me before, even though I was with you in the Temple every day. But this is your moment now, the time when darkness is in power.”
54 Bhai, gubhaakamulenje, gubhaatolilenje kwendanabhonji kwa akalongolele bha bhaabhishila. A Petili gubhakagwile nnyuma kwa kwaataliya.
They arrested him and led him away, taking him to the chief priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.
55 Moto gwashinkukumbanywa pakati lugwani, gwaatemingene penepo pamo, na a Petili pubhaaliji popo.
They started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down by it. Peter was there among them.
56 Ntumishi jumo jwankongwe gwabhabhwene a Petili bhatemi tome pamoto, gwabhakolondolesheye meyo, nigwashite, “Abha bhandubha nnepeila pubhaliji na a Yeshu.”
As he sat there, a servant girl noticed him in the firelight, and stared directly at him and said,
57 Ikabheje a Petili gubhakanile bhalinkuti, “Gwee! Nne ngakwaamanya.”
“This man was with him.” But Peter denied it. “Woman, I don't know him!” he said.
58 Kashokope, mundu juna akwaabhonaga a Petili, nigwashite, “Numbe mmwe ni nkumbi gula.” Ikabheje a Petili gubhajangwile “Ika mmwe, nngabha nne!”
A little later someone else looked at him and said, “You're also one of them.” “No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
59 Ikapiteje malanga ga shaa jimo, mundu juna gwakomelesheye, “Kweli abha bhandubha pubhaliji na a Yeshu, pabha na bhalabho Bhagalilaya.”
About an hour later, another person insisted, “I'm sure he was with him too—he's a Galilean.”
60 Ikabheje a Petili gubhashite, “Ika mmwe, ngakwiimanya inkubheleketayo!” Na popo pepo, bhakanabhe maliya kubheleketa, lipongo gulikongobhele.
“I've no idea what you're talking about!” Peter replied. Right then, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. The Lord turned and looked at Peter.
61 Bhakulungwa gubhatendebhwishe nikwaalola a Petili, na bhalabho a Petili gubhakumbushile gubhabhalanjilwe na Bhakulungwa, “Lipongo likanabhe kongobhela lelo, shinngane patatu.”
And Peter remembered what the Lord had said, how he'd told him: “Before the cock crows today, you'll deny me three times.”
62 Penepo gubhakopweshe palanga gubhagutile kwa kaje.
Peter went out and wept bitterly.
63 Bhandunji bhaabhikaangaga a Yeshu muulinda, gubhaakomilenje na kwaalembula.
The men guarding Jesus began to mock him and beat him.
64 Gubhaatabhilenje shimbala kumeyo, nikwabhuyanga, “Nnondole! Ntulugulile gani ankomile.”
They put a blindfold on him, and then asked him, “If you can prophesy, tell us who hit you that time!”
65 Gubhaabheleketelenje malobhe gamagwinji ga matukano.
and shouted many other insults at him.
66 Kukasheje, bhanangulungwa gubhaimenenje yani, ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na bhaajiganya bha shalia. A Yeshu gubhapelekwe kulukumbilo.
Early in the morning the council of elders gathered together with the chief priests and religious teachers. Jesus was led before the council.
67 Nigubhashitenje, “Ibhaga mmwe a Kilishitu ntubhalanjile?” A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Nkali nimmalanjilangaga, nkakulupalilanga,
“If you really are the Messiah, then tell us,” they said. “Even if I were to tell you, you wouldn't believe me,” Jesus replied.
68 nkali nimmuyanje nkanyangulanga.
“And if I were to ask you a question, you wouldn't answer.
69 Ikabheje kutandubhila nnaino, Mwana juka Mundu shatame kunkono nnilo gwa Bhakulungwa a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili.”
But from now on the Son of man will sit at the right hand of the mighty God.”
70 Penepo bhowenji nigubhashitenje “Igala tutende mmwe bhanabhabho a Nnungu?” Na bhalabho gubhashite, “Mmanganya ninkutinji Nne ni Jwenejo.”
They all asked, “So are you the son of God?” “You say that I am,” Jesus replied.
71 Na bhalabhonji nigubhashitenje, “Bhuli, tupinga ukong'ondelo guna? Twaashayene tupilikene bhalibheleketa pa kang'wa jabho bhayene.”
“Why do we need any more witnesses?” they said. “We've heard it ourselves from his own mouth!”
