Matei 27
1 Lukela pehe, vakulu voha va kuteta, pamonga na vagogo va Chiyawudi vakajovesana ndava ya kumkoma Yesu.
When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;
2 Hinu vakamukunga, vakamutola na kumgotola kwa Pilatu mweavimkulu wa Loma.
and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor.
3 Kangi Yuda, mweamng'anamwikili Yesu paavawene kuvya vamali kumuhamula Yesu, akang'ahika neju mumtima waki, avawuyisili vakulu va kuteta mashonga gala hipandi selasini.
Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High Priests and Elders
4 Akavajovela, “Nibudili kumng'anamukila mundu angabuda akomiwa.” Nambu vene, vakayangula, “Lenilo ndi lihengu laku? Umanya wamwene.”
and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business."
5 Mwene akataga hipandi ya mashonga gala Munyumba ya Chapanga, akahuma kuvala ya Nyumba ya Chapanga na kuhamba kujikungila.
Flinging the shekels into the Sanctuary he left the place, and went and hanged himself.
6 Vakulu va kuteta vakatola mashonga genago, vakajova, “Mumbele ya malagizu gitu kuvika muchibana cha Nyumba ya Chapanga ndava muni mashonga gegapatikini kwa kukoma.”
When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."
7 Hinu vakajovesana, vakatola mashonga gala kugula mgunda wa ludaka muni pavyaa pandu pa kuzikila vayehe.
So after consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;
8 Ndava ya genago, hati lelu mgunda wenuwo wikemelewa “Mgunda ngasi mana yaki mgunda weuguliwi kwa ukomaji.”
for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of 'the Field of Blood.'
9 Ndi chagatimalili malovi ga Yelemia mweavi mlota wa Chapanga, “Valotili mashonga hipandi selasini, mashonga ya mwenuyo luhuna lwa vandu va Isilaeli.
Then were fulfilled the words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, "And I took the thirty shekels, the price of the prized one on whom Israelites had set a price,
10 Vakahengela kugula mgunda wa madakali, ngati chealagazili Bambu.”
and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
11 Yesu akayima palongolo ya mkulu wa Loma, ndi mkulu yula akamkota, “Veve, ndi wa Nkosi wa Vayawudi?” Yesu akayangula, “Genago ndi ujovili wamwene.”
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.
12 Nambu vakulu va kuteta na vagogo pevamtakili, mwene ayangwili lepi lilovi.
When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.
13 Kangi Pilatu akamkota “Wu, wiyuwana lepi matakilu gevakukutakila veve?”
"Do you not hear," asked Pilate, "what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?"
14 Nambu Yesu ayangwili lepi hati lilovi limonga, mkulu wa Loma akakangasa neju.
But He made no reply to a single accusation, so that the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 Hinu yavi mvelu wa mkulu wa Loma lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa Pasaka, kuvadindulila Vayawudi mkungiwa mmonga mwevakumgana.
"Now it was the Governor's custom at the Festival to release some one prisoner, whomsoever the populace desired;
16 Lukumbi lwenulo peavili na mkungiwa mmonga mweamanyikini neju, mweikemiwa Balaba.
and at this time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Ndi, vandu pavakonganiki pamonga, Pilatu akavakota, “Mwigana nivadindulilayi yani pagati ya vavili ava, Balaba amala Yesu mweikemiwa Kilisitu?”
So when they were now assembled Pilate appealed to them. "Whom shall I release to you," he said, "Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"
18 Ndava muni amanyili kuvya vachilongosi va chiyawudi vamuwusili Yesu ndava ya wihu.
For he knew that it was from envious hatred that Jesus had been brought before him.
19 Pilatu peatamili pachigoda chaki cha uhamula, mdala waki ampelikili ujumbi, “Ukoto kumhengela chindu chochoa mundu uyu angahoka ndava lelu nin'gaiki neju munjozi ndava ya mwenuyo.”
While he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. "Have nothing to do with that innocent man," she said, "for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through him."
20 Nambu vakulu va kuteta na vagogo vakuvakulukisa vandu vamyupa Balaba adinduliwa na Yesu akomiwa.
The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.
21 Pilatu akavakota, “Ndi yani pagati ava vavili mwemukumgana nivadindulilayi nyenye?” Vakamyangula mdindulayi, “Balaba!”
So when the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "Barabbas!"
22 Pilatu akavakota kavili, “Hinu nikita kyani na Yesu nweikemiwa Kilisitu?” Voha vakayangula, “Avambiwa pamsalaba!”
"What then," said Pilate, "shall I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" With one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"
23 Nambu Pilatu akavakota, “Ndava kyani? Abudili kiki?” Ndi vene vakajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Avambiwa pamsalaba!”
"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "Let him be crucified!"
24 Hinu, Pilatu paamanyili ngati yihotoleka lepi kuvagunisa, chitutu chitumbula, akatola manji, akasamba mawoko palongolo ya msambi wa vandu, akajova, “Yikunivala lepi ngasi ya mundu uyu, kwali mwavene.”
So when he saw that he could gain nothing, but that on the contrary there was a riot threatening, he called for water and washed his hands in sight of them all, saying, "I am not responsible for this murder: you must answer for it."
25 Vandu voha vakayangula, “Ngasi yaki yeyitika yivya ndava ya tete na vana vitu!”
"His blood," replied all the people, "be on us and on our children!"
26 Kangi Pilatu akamdindulila Balaba kuhuma muchifungu, na kumtova michapilu akamgotola Yesu avambiwa pamsalaba.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he ordered to be scourged, and gave Him up to be crucified.
27 Kangi manjolinjoli ga mkulu wa Loma, vamyingisi Yesu mugati ya nyumba ya nkosi, ndi manjolinjoli vakakonganeka msambi woha.
Then the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.
28 Vakamuwula nyula zaki, vakamuwalika nyula yidung'u ya chinkosi.
Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.
29 Kangi vakabota njingwa ya minga, vamuwaliki kumutu, vakamvikila mlayi muchiwoko chaki cha kulyela. Vakafugama palongolo yaki ndi vamvevisi vakumjovela, “Tukuwoni Nkosi wa Vayawudi!”
They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!"
30 Vakamuhunyila mata, vakatola mlayi wula, vakamtova nawu kumutu.
Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it.
31 Pavamali kumvevesa, vakamuwula ligwanda lenilo, vamuwaliki nyula zaki, kangi vakamhindikila pa kumvamba pamsalaba.
At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
32 Pavavi mukuhamba vamkolili mundu mmonga liina laki Simoni mkolonjinji wa Kulene, kwa makakala vamgegisi msalaba wa Yesu.
Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled to carry His cross,
33 Pavahikili pandu pepikemelewa Goligota, mana yaki “Libangu la Mutu.”
and so they came to a place called Golgotha, which means 'Skull-ground.'
34 Vakampela divayi yeyihangisini na nyongo. Nambu Yesu peamiyangili akabela kunywa.
Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted it He refused to drink it.
35 Pavamali kumvamba pamsalaba, ndi vakatovela gudugudu kugavana nyula zaki.
After crucifying Him, they divided His garments among them by lot,
36 Manjolinjoli vakatama penapo kumulindalila.
and sat down there on guard.
37 Panani ya mutu waki pamsalaba, vakayandika matakilu ga kumvala mwene “Mwenuyu ndi Yesu, Nkosi va Vayawudi.”
Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Mewawa kwavi na vanyagaji vavili vavambiwi mu misalaba pamonga na Yesu, mmonga upandi waki wa kulyela na yungi upandi wa kumangeya.
At the same time two robbers were crucified with Him, one at His right hand and the other at His left.
39 Vandu vevapitayi njila yeniyo vamligili kuni vinyugusa mitu yavi na kujova,
And the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him
40 “Veve lepi! Mwewajova wihotola kudenya Nyumba ya Chapanga na kujenga kavili pamagono gadatu? Hinu ujisangula wamwene. Ngati veve wa Mwana wa Chapanga, ndi huluka pamsalaba!”
and said, "You who would pull down the Sanctuary and build a new one within three days, save yourself. If you are God's Son, come down from the cross."
41 Mewawa vakulu va kuteta pamonga na vawula va malagizu na vagogo vamvevisi, na kujova,
In like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.
42 “Avasangwili vayaki, ihotola lepi kujisangula mwene! Ati mwene ndi Nkosi wa vandu va Isilaeli! Hinu ahulukayi pamsalaba na tete yati tikumsadika mwene.
"He saved others," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 Amhuvalili Chapanga na kujova mwene ndi Mwana wa Chapanga! Ngati Chapanga akumgana ihotola kumsangula!”
His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him; for he said, 'I am God's Son.'"
44 Mewawa vala vanyagaji veavambiwi nawu pamsalaba pamonga vamligili.
Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers who were being crucified with Him.
45 Kuhumila muhi wa saa sita mbaka saa tisa, chitita chatindili mulima woha.
Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was darkness over the whole land;
46 Hinu payahikili saa tisa, Yesu akavemba neju, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani?” Mana yaki, “Chapanga wangu, Chapanga wangu, ndava kyani unilekili?”
but about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
47 Nambu vandu vangi vevayimili pala pevayuwini genago vakajova, “Akumkemela Eliya.”
"The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.
48 Mmonga wavi akajumba akatola lidodoki, akajwiga mudivayi yivavanu akaivika mumlayi akampela anywai.
One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine put it on the end of a cane and offered it Him to drink;
49 Nambu vangi vakajova, “Leka tiloli ngati Eliya ibwela kumsangula.”
while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to deliver him."
50 Ndi Yesu akavembeneka kwa lwami luvaha, akafwa.
But Jesus uttered another loud cry and then yielded up His spirit.
51 Penapo lipazia la Nyumba ya Chapanga lapapwiki hipandi hivili kuhumila kunani mbaka pahi, mulima woha wandendimi, na matalahu gakabayuka,
Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;
52 matinda gagubwiki na vandu va Chapanga vamahele vevafwili vayukili.
the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.
53 Pevahumili mumatinda gavi, Yesu peamali kuyuka pamonga nawu, vakayingila Pamuji wa Msopi ndi Yelusalemu vawonikini na vandu vamahele.
And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.
54 Hinu, mkulu yula pamonga na manjolinjoli vevamyangalila Yesu, pavauwene mulima windendema na goha gegahumalili, vakayogopa neju, vakajova, “Chakaka mundu mwenuyu avi Mwana wa Chapanga.”
As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."
55 Pandu penapo kwavi na vadala vamahele vevatamili vilolokesa cha kutali, venavo ndi vevamlandili Yesu kuhuma ku Galilaya vakumhengela.
And there were a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;
56 Pagati yavi avili Maliya kuhuma Magidala na Maliya nyina wavi Yakobo na Yosefu, pamonga na nyina wavi vana va Zebedayo.
among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.
57 Palatipimi lilanga, abwelili mundu mmonga mkolo vindu vyamahele mkolonjinji wa Alimatei, liina laki Yosefu. Mwenuyu mewa avi muwuliwa wa Yesu.
Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself also had become a disciple of Jesus.
58 Amhambili Pilatu, akamuyupa higa ya Yesu. Pilatu akahamula vampelayi.
He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 Yosefu akayitola higa yila na kuutindisila nyula ya msopi,
So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.
60 akauvika mulitinda laki la mupya leahongwili mulitalau, akalibilingisa liganga livaha kudinda mlyangu wa litinda akawuka.
He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.
61 Maliya mkolonjinji wa Magidala na Maliya yungi yula vatamili kulolokesa litinda.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were both present there, sitting opposite to the sepulchre.
62 Chilau yaki, ndi Ligono la Kupumulila, ndi vakulu vakuteta na Vafalisayu vamhambili Pilatu.
On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.
63 Vakajova “Mkulu, tikumbwiki kuvya yula mchenjela ajovili peavili mumi kuvya akafwayi yati iyuka pagimalika magono gadatu,
"Sir," they said, "we recollect that during his lifetime that impostor pretended that after two days he was to rise to life again.
64 Hinu lagiza valonda valindalila litinda mbaka pegimalika magono gadatu ndava vawuliwa vaki vihotola kumuyiva na kuvajovela vandu kuvya ayukili. Muni udese wa pamwishu wenuwu yati wivya uvaha neju kuliku wa kutumbula.”
So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first."
65 Pilatu akavayangula, “Muvi na manjolinjoli, muhamba mukalindila chemwihotola.”
"You can have a guard," said Pilate: "go and make all safe, as best you can."
66 Hinu vakahamba kulindila litinda vakavika vidindilu liganga lila, vakaleka manjolinjoli bahapo vakulilindila.
So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.
