Maluko 14
1 Gavili gakona magono gavili kuhika Mselebuko wa Pasaka na Mselebuko wa kulya mabumunda gangali ngemeku. Vakulu va kuteta na Vawula va Malagizu valondayi njila ya kumkamula Yesu cha mfiyu na kumkoma.
After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were contriving how they might take Jesus by surprise, and kill him.
2 Nambu vakajova, “Tikotoka kukita chenicho lukumbi lwa mselebuko, ndava vandu yati vikita chitututu.”
They said, however, Not during the festival, for fear of an insurrection among the people.
3 Yesu avili ku Betania kunyumba ya Simoni mweavi na mabudi. Peavili pameza kulya chakulya, mau mmonga mweavili na kachupa kadebe kaganga ka alabasta kamahuta geginungalilayi neju, mahuta geginungalila bwina gegatenganizwi kwa nado, akabwela. Akayidindula chupa yila, na kumyitila Yesu mahuta gala kumutu.
Now being at table in Bethany, in the house of Simon, formerly a leper, there came a woman with an alabaster box of the balsam of spikenard, which was very costly; and she broken open the box, and poured the liquor upon his head.
4 Vandu vangi vevavi penapo vayomiswi na chitendu chila vakajijovela, “Ndava kyani kuyagisa waka mahuta geginungalila bwina?
There were some present, who said with indignation, Why this profusion of the balsam?
5 Mahuta ago ngagagulisiwi kwa mashonga gamahele, ngavapewili vangangu!” Vakamywangila mau yula.
For it could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, which might have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mumleka! Ndava ya kyani mukumung'aha? Anikitili nene lijambu labwina.
But Jesus said, Let her alone. Why do you molest her? She has done me a good office.
7 Vangangu muvinawu magono goha, muhotola kuvatangatila lukumbi lwolwoha lwa mwigana. Nambu nene yati nivya lepi na nyenye lukumbi lwoha.
For you will have the poor always amongst you, and can do them good whenever you please; but me you will not always have.
8 Mwene akitili chaehotwili. Alongolili kuniyitila mahuta geginungalila muhiga yangu anitendelekili kwakona kuzikiwa kwangu palongolo.
She has done what she could. She has beforehand embalmed my body for the funeral.
9 Chakaka nikuvajovela, pamulima woha Lilovi la Bwina yati likokoswa, chitendu ichi cheakitili yati chiluwuliwa kwa kumkumbuka mdala uyu.”
Indeed, I say to you, in whatsoever corner of the world the glad tidings shall be proclaimed, what this woman has now done, shall be mentioned to her honor.
10 Kangi Yuda Isikalioti, mmonga wa vawuliwa kumi na vavili vala, akahamba kwa vakulu va kuteta ndava ya kumgotola Yesu.
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, repaired to the chief priests, to betray Jesus to them.
11 Vakulu va kuteta pevayuwini malovi genago, vahekalili, vayidakilini kumpela mashonga. Ndi, Yuda akatumbula kulonda lukumbi lwa kumgotola Yesu.
And they listened to him with joy, and promised to give him money. Afterward he sought a favorable opportunity to deliver him up.
12 Ligono la kutumbula kwa Mselebuko wa Mabumunda yangali ngemeku, lukumbi lwa kuhinja mwanalimbelele wa Pasaka, vawuliwa vaki vakamkota, “Ugana tikakutendelekelayi koki chakulya cha Pasaka?”
Now the first day of unleavened bread, when the passover is sacrificed, his disciples said to him, Whither shall we go to prepare for your eating the passover?
13 Hinu, Yesu avatumili vawuliwa vaki vavili akavajovela, “Muhambayi kumuji, kwenuko yati mkumkolela mgosi mmonga agegili chihulu cha manji. Mumlanda
Then he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, Go into the city, where you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;
14 mbaka munyumba yeiyingila, mkamjovelayi mkolo nyumba, ‘Muwula ikota, chivi koki chumba cha vayehe penilya Pasaka pamonga na vawuliwa vangu?’
and wherever he shall enter, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is the guest chamber, in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?
15 Mwene yati akuvalangisa chumba chivaha kunani ya kugolofa chechitendelekiwi. Mtendekelayi mwenumo.”
And he will show you a large upper room ready furnished. There prepare for us.
16 Hinu, vawuliwa vakawuka, vakahamba kumuji, vakakolela kila chindu chivi bwina ngati Yesu cheavajovili. Ndi vakatendelekela chakulya cha Pasaka.
Accordingly, his disciples went away, and being come into the city, found everything as he had told them, and prepared the passover.
17 Payavili kimihi, Yesu ahikili penapo pamonga na vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili.
In the evening he went thither with the twelve.
18 Pevalyayi pamonga, Yesu akajova, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, mmonga winu mweilya pamonga na nene, yati akunigotola.”
As they were at table eating, Jesus said, Indeed, I say to you, that one of you who eats with me, will betray me.
19 Penapo vawuliwa vaki vakatumbula kuviniswa mitima, vakatumbula kumkota mmonga mmonga, “Wu, ndi nene?”
Upon this they became very sorrowful; and asked him, all of them, one after another, Is it I?
20 Yesu akavajovela, “Ndi mmonga winu pagati yinu nyenye kumi na vavili, mweijwiga libumunda pamonga na nene munkeve.
He answering, said to them, It is one of the twelve; he who dips his morsel in the dish with me.
21 Chakaka Mwana wa Mundu yati ifwa ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova. Nambu alachikolela mundu yula mweakumgotola Mwana wa Mundu! Mbanga kwa mundu mwenuyo ngati ngavelekiwi lepi!”
The Son of Man departs in the manner foretold in the scripture concerning him; but alas for that man! by whom the Son of Man is betrayed: it had been better for that man never to have been born.
22 Pevalyayi, Yesu akatola libumunda, akamsengusa Chapanga, akalimetula na kuvapela vawuliwa vaki akajova, “Mtola, yeniyi, ndi higa yangu.”
While they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and after blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, Take; this is my body.
23 Kangi akatola chikombi cha divayi, akamsengusa Chapanga, akavapela voha vanywelili divayi muchikombi chila.
Then he took the cup, and having given thanks, gave it to them; and they all drank of it.
24 Akavajovela, “Yeniyi ndi ngasi yangu yeyilangisa lilaganu la Chapanga kwa vandu vaki, ngasi yeyiyitika ndava ya kulekekesa mabudilu ga vandu vamahele.
And he said to them, This is my blood, the blood of the new institution, shed for many.
25 Chakaka nikuvajovela, ninywa lepi kavili divayi mbaka ligono lila peninywa kavili mu Unkosi wa Chapanga.”
Indeed, I say to you, that I will drink no more of the product of the vine, till that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 Kangi vakayimba lunyimbu lwa kumsengusa Chapanga, vakawuka, vakahamba ku Chitumbi cha Mizeituni.
And after the hymn, they went to the Mount of Olives.
27 Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mwavoha nyenye yati mwitila na kunileka nene, mu Mayandiku Gamsopi Chapanga ijova, ‘Yati nikumkoma mdimaji, na mambelele yati gipechengana.’
And Jesus said to them, This night I shall prove a stumbling stone to you all; for it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed."
28 Nambu nikayukayi, yati nikuvalongolela ku Galilaya.”
Nevertheless, after I am raised again, I will go before you to Galilee.
29 Petili akamjovela, “Hati ngati voha yati vakukuleka, nene katu nikukuleka lepi!”
Peter then said to him, Though they all should stumble, I never will.
30 Yesu akamjovela, “Chakaka nikujovela, kilu iyi, kwakona lijogolo langakokoleka mala zivili, yati ukunibela mala zidatu kuvya unimanyili lepi.”
Jesus answered him, Indeed, I say to you, that to-day, this very night, before the cock crow twice, even you will disown me thrice.
31 Nambu Petili akakangamala kujova, “Hati ngati yikunigana nifwa pamonga na veve, katu yati nikukuleka lepi!” Vawuliwa voha vakajova mewawa.
But Peter insisted on it, adding, Although I should die with you, I will never disown you. And all the rest said the same.
32 Hinu, vakahika kulidimba lelikemelewa Gesemane. Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mtama apa lukumbi penikumuyupa Chapanga.”
Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, where he said to his disciples, Stay here while I pray.
33 Kangi akavatola Petili na Yakobo na Yohani. Akatumbula kuviniswa mtima na kung'ahika neju.
And he took with him Peter, and James, and John, and being seized with grief and horror,
34 Akavajovela, “Niviniswa mtima neju hati papipi kufwa. Mtama na muvya mihu.”
said to them, My soul is overwhelmed with a deadly anguish; tarry here and watch.
35 Akahamba palongolo padebe akajitaga cha kukupama pahi, akamuyupa Chapanga, kuvya ngati yihotoleka, lukumbi ulo lwa mang'ahiso lumupitila kutali.
And going a little before, he threw himself on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, he might be delivered from that hour,
36 Akajova, “Dadi wangu, kwa veve mambu goha gihotoleka. Uniwusilayi chikombi ichi cha mang'ahiso. Nambu lepi ngati chenigana nene, nambu cheugana wamwene.”
and said, Abba, (that is, Father, ) all things are possible to thee; take this cup away from me; yet not what I would, but what thou wilt.
37 Kangi akawuya kwa vawuliwa vadatu vala akavakolela vagonili. Hinu, akamkota Petili, “Simoni, wu, ugonili? Uhotwi lepi kuvya mihu hati lukumbi ludebe?”
Then he returned, and finding them asleep, said to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Could you not keep awake a single hour?
38 Kangi akavajovela, “Muvyai mihu na kumuyupa Chapanga mkotoka kuyingila mukulingiwa. Mpungu ugana, nambu higa yitotokela.”
Watch and pray, that you be not overcome by temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
39 Akahamba kumuyupa Chapanga kavili akawuyila malovi galagala.
Again, he retired and prayed, using the same words.
40 Peavawuyili vawuliwa vaki avakolili vagonili kavili. Ndava mihu gavi na lugono. Vamanyi lepi chakumyangula.
When he returned, he again found them sleeping; for their eyes were overpowered, and they knew not what to answer him.
41 Peabwelili mala ya datu akavajovela, “Mwakona mwigona na kupumulila? Hinu yikoli! Lukumbi luhikili! Mwana wa Mundu igotolewa kwa vandu vevambudila Chapanga.
A third time he came, and said to them, Do you now sleep, and take your rest? All is over: the hour is come: and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
42 Muyimuka, tihambi. Mlolayi yula mweakunigotola ahegalili.”
Arise. Let us be going. Lo! he who betrays me is drawing near.
43 Yesu peavi akona ijova, Yuda mmonga wa kumi na vavili vala, akabwela pamonga na msambi wa vandu wewavili na mapanga na vibonga. Vandu venavo vatumwili na vakulu va kuteta, Vawula va Malagizu na vagogo.
Immediately, before he had done speaking, appeared Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude armed with swords and clubs, who were sent by the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44 Yuda, yula mweamgotwili Yesu, avapelili ulangisu msambi wa vandu wula, “Kuvya yula mwenikumjambusa cha kumkumbatila, ndi mumkamula na mumpeleka kuni avi muulonda.”
Now the betrayer had given them this signal: The man whom I shall kiss, is he; seize him, and lead him away safely.
45 Yuda peahikili ndu amuhambalili Yesu akamjovela, “Muwula!” Kangi akamjambusa cha kumkumbatila.
He was no sooner come, than accosting Jesus, he said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.
46 Hinu vandu vala vakamkamula Yesu na kumkunga.
Then they laid hands on him and seized him.
47 Mmonga mweayimili pamonga na Yesu, akaholomola upanga waki, akamdumula likutu mvanda wa Mteta Mkulu.
But one of those who were present, drew his sword, and smiting the high priest's servant, cut off his ear.
48 Yesu akamjovela, “Wu, mbwelili na mapanga na vibonga kunikamula ngati kuvya nene mnyagaji?
Then Jesus addressing them, said, Do you come with swords and clubs to apprehend me, like people in pursuit of a robber?
49 Magono goha navi pamonga na nyenye, niwula ku Nyumba ya Chapanga, nambu mwanikamwili lepi. Nambu hinu yikugagana Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimilayi.”
I was daily amongst you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me. But in this the scriptures are accomplished.
50 Penapo vawuliwa voha vakamleka na kutila.
Then they all forsook him and fled.
51 Kwavili na msongolo mmonga mweamlandayi Yesu awalili chikwinda. Vene valingili kumkamula.
Now there followed him a youth, who had only a linen cloth wrapped about his body; the soldiers having laid hold of him,
52 Nambu mwene akalema, akachileka chikwinda chila, akajumba waka.
he left the cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 Hinu, vampeliki Yesu kunyumba ya Mteta Mkulu, penapo ndi pevakonganiki pamonga vakulu va kuteta voha na vagogo na Vawula va Malagizu.
Then they took Jesus away to the high priest, with whom all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes, were convened.
54 Petili amlandili Yesu chapatali, akayingila muluvanja lwa nyumba ya Mteta Mkulu. Akatama pamonga na valonda kuyota motu.
And Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the court of the high priest's house, and sat there with the officers, warming himself at the fire.
55 Vakulu va kuteta na libanji loha valondai lilovi la kumtakila Yesu muni vahotola kumkoma, nambu valipati lepi.
Meanwhile, the chief priests, and all the Sanhedrin, sought for evidence against Jesus, in order to condemn him to die, but found none:
56 Vandu vamahele vajovili gaudese ndava ya Yesu, nambu malovi gavi gayidakilini lepi.
for many gave false testimony against him, but their testimonies were insufficient.
57 Kangi vandu vangi vakayima kujova udese ndava ya Yesu, vakajova,
The some arose, who testified falsely against him, saying,
58 “Tete tamuyuwini ijova, ‘Nene yati nigwisa Nyumba ya Chapanga iyi yeyijengiwi na vandu, na mu magono gadatu yati nijenga yingi yangajengewa na vandu.’”
We heard him say, I will demolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will build another without hands.
59 Nambu pamonga na ago, malovi gavi gayidikilini lepi.
But even here their testimony was defective.
60 Hinu, Mteta Mkulu akayima pagati yavi akamkota Yesu, “Wu, wiyangula lepi lilovi, vandu venava vakukutakila kyani?”
Then the high priest, standing up in the midst, interrogated Jesus, saying, Do you answer nothing to what these men testify against you?
61 Nambu mwene agunili, ajovili lepi lilovi hati limonga. Mkulu wa kuteta akamkota kavili, “Veve ndi Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga Mmotisa?”
But he was silent, and gave no answer. Again, the high priest interrogating him, said, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the blessed One?
62 Yesu akayangula, “Ena, ndi nene. Kavili yati mukumlola Mwana wa Mundu atamili upandi wa kulyelela cha Bambu yula mweavi na makakala. Ibwela kuhumila mumahundi ga kunani kwa Chapanga!”
Jesus answered, I am; nay, you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 Penapo ndi Mteta Mkulu akapapula nyula zaki, akajova, “Tigana lepi kuyuwana malovi gangi ndava ya mundu uyu!
Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, What further need have we of witnesses?
64 Mumyuwini cheakumliga Chapanga! Nyenye mjova wuli?” Voha vamganili akomiwa.
You have heard the blasphemy. What is your opinion? And they all pronounced him worthy of death.
65 Hinu, vangi pagati yavi vakatumbula kumuhunyila mata, vakamgubika pamihu vakamtova na kumjovela, “Lotelayi, ndi yani mweakutovili!” Hati valonda vakamtola, vakampamanda.
Then some began to spit on him; others to cover his face and buffet him, saying to him, Divine who it is. And the officers gave him blows on the cheeks.
66 Petili peavi akona muluvanja lwa nyumba, mtumisi mmonga wa chidala wa Mteta Mkulu abwelili.
Now Peter being below in the court, one of the maids of the high priest came thither,
67 Peamuweni Petili iyota motu, amlolili, akamjovela, “Hati veve wavili pamonga na Yesu wa ku Nazaleti.”
who seeing Peter warming himself, looked on him, and said, You also were with the Nazarene Jesus.
68 Nambu Petili akabela, “Kwali, nakuchimanya cheujova!” Petili akawuka akahamba pamlyangu wa kuyingilila. Penapo ndi lijogolo likakokoleka.
But he denied it, saying, I know him not: nor do I understand what you mean. Immediately he went out into the portico, and the cock crew.
69 Muhengaji mdala yula, peamuwene kavili Petili, akatumbula kangi kuvajovela vandu vevavi penapo, “Mundu uyu ndi mmonga wavi.”
The maid seeing him again, said to the bystanders, This is one of them.
70 Nambu Petili akabela kavili. Mwanakandahi, vandu vevayimili penapo vamjovili Petili, “Chakaka veve ndi mmonga wavi, muni veve mewawa ndi mundu wa ku Galilaya.”
Again he denied. And a little after, those who were present said to Peter, You are certainly one of them; for you are a Galilean, your speech shows it.
71 Nambu Petili akatumbula kujova, “Nipewa likoto ngati nijova udese! Nilapa nimmanyili lepi mundu uyu mwemukumuluwula.”
Upon this he affirmed, with imprecations, and oaths, that he did not know the man of whom they spoke.
72 Bahapo lijogolo likakokoleka mala ya pavili. Petili akumbwiki Yesu cheamjovili, “Kwakona lijogolo langakokoleka yati ukunibela mala zidatu.” Petili akajitaga pahi na kuvemba.
The cock crew the second time: and Peter recollected the word which Jesus had said to him, Before the cock crow twice, you will disown me thrice. And reflecting upon this, he wept.
