Maluko 14
1 Zyali nsiku zibhili afume iPasaka nama Bumunda gasa gaponyeziwe Amila. Achungaji agosi nsimbi wabha hanzaga isha hukhate uYesu huhila nahugoje.
It was now two days before the Festival of the Passover and the unleavened bread. The chief priests and the teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity to arrest Jesus by stealth, and to put him to death;
2 Pipo bhayanjile, “Haga wabhuuwishi kulukulu, abhantu bhasihinze elete itaka.”
for they said, “Not during the Festival, or the people may riot.”
3 Ulyo uYesu pali Bethania hukhaya wa Simoni umukoma, palije awelekela pameza, ushi umo ahenza wa mwene nisupa malashi ya nardo amiza agigalama ingosi sana, abojola isupa nasulule pamwanya iyitwe lyakwe.
When Jesus was still at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was sitting at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of choice spikenard perfume of great value. She broke the jar, and poured the perfume on his head.
4 Lelo kati yabho bhavitwa. Bhabhulana bhibho wabhibho bhahayanga, “Nayenu isababu uwateje uhuu?
Some of those who were present said to one another indignantly, “Why has the perfume been wasted like this?
5 Manukato iga gewezyanga eguziwe winali miazitatu twabha panag asikini.” Na hadamila.
This perfume could have been sold for more than a year’s wages, and the money given to the poor.”
6 Lelo uYesu ahayanga, “Leshi yuyo mwene. Yenu musubula? Abhombile linza hu lini.
“Leave her alone,” said Jesus, as they began to find fault with her, “why are you troubling her? This is a beautiful deed that she has done for me.
7 Isiku zyunti amasikini munabho, umuda gwa gundti pamusungwa mugawenza abhombe aminza wabhene, lelo saga munzabhe nane uwakati waundti.
You always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.
8 Ambombile shila ishawezya: abhombe agupashile ubhili gwani amafuta kwa ajili yasyile.
She has done what she could; she has perfumed my body beforehand for my burial.
9 Lyoli imbabhula, shila mahali izyo palumbililwa insi yundti, lila ilibhambile ushi unu shaiyangwa akubhuwe wakwe.
And I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, the good news is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her.”
10 Pipo uYuda Iskariote, umo uwabhala ilongo na bhabhili, abhalile wagosi uwachungaji ili apate hutwale wa bhene.
After this, Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray Jesus to them.
11 Uwakati agosi Abhachungaji pabha hu vha isho, bhamojile bhahaidi hupele ihela. Andile awanze inafasi iyapele abhene.
They were glad to hear what he said, and promised to pay him. So he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus.
12 Isiku ilya wande ilibumunda ilyasaliponyeziwe imila, uwakati uwabhafumia inyama ingole ipasaka, wanafunzi wake walimwambia, “Unataka twende wapi tukaandae ili upate kula mlo wa Pasaka?”
On the first day of the Festival of the unleavened bread, when it was customary to kill the Passover lambs, his disciples said to Jesus, “Where do you wish us to go and make preparations for your eating the Passover?”
13 Atuma asundwa bhakwe bhabhili nabhabhule, “Aje bhalaji hujini, na ulume uwanza tangane namwi akhente ulusai lyiminzi. Dagaji.
Jesus sent forward 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 Inyumba yanza winjile, dagaji nahubhule umwani nyumba iyo, 'Mwalimo ayanga, “Shi ibuba ishajenyu ailye iPasaka umwo pandwimo na asundwa bhakwe?”
and, wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house ‘The teacher says – Where is my room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
15 Wope yuyo abhalanje igolofa ingosi isimbilwe tayali. Umwo tayalisyaji.”
He will himself show you a large upstairs room, set out ready; and there make preparations for us.”
16 Asundwa bhahabhala hujini; bhaga kila handu haisha yangaga, bhatayalisya iPasaka.
So the disciples set out and went into the city, and found everything just as Jesus had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
17 Pawahafiha ulyebhela, ahinza na bhala humi na bhabhili.
In the evening he went there with the Twelve,
18 Pabhanga bhaibhelela imeza naje bhalye uYesu ayanga, “Lyoli imbaula, umo kati yenyu abhanenelele.”
and when they had taken their places and were eating, Jesus said, “I tell you that one of you is going to betray me – one who is eating with me.”
19 Bhanda asononeshe, bhaha bhala umo umo, “Lelo nine?”
They were grieved at this, and began to say to him, one after another, “Can it be I?”
20 U Yesu ahajibu ihubhula, “Ali umo ulilongo nabhabhili muhati yinyu, umo ambaye ishi atovhela uluntonji mubhakuli palushimo nane.
“It is one of you Twelve,” said Jesus, “the one who is dipping his bread beside me into the dish.
21 Pipo Umwana wa Adamu abha bhale nishi amasimbo ishaga yanag pamwanya yakwe. Lelo ole wa mwene umuntu ula uwanza hu nenelele Umwana wa Adamu washinza! umuntu uyo gabhe haga apapwaga.”
True, the Son of Man must go, as scripture says of him, yet alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is being betrayed! For that man it would be better never to have been born!”
22 Pali bhalya, uYesu ahega ibumunda, alisaya na limesule. Apela nayanje, “Chukueni. Ugu ubile gwani.
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Ahega ishikombe, akasarifwa, apela, bhamwelela.
Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 Abhabhulile, “Ili idada lyane ililagana, idada ilya liwitiha kwaajili yabhinji.
“This is my covenant-blood,” he said, “which is poured out on behalf of many.
25 Lyoli imbabhula, sigaihamwela nantele paka pisiku lila paimwala ipha hutawala ula uwa Ngulubhi.”
I tell you that I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 Pabha habha bhamalile atele ulyimbo, bhahashilainje Igamba ili Mizeituni.
They then sang a hymn, and went out up the Mount of Olives,
27 U Yesu abhabhula, “Amwe mwinthe munza wibangule huhutari kwaajili ya yane, phepo isimbilwe, 'Aikhoma umchungaji naingole zinza nyabhane.'
presently Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away; for scripture says – ‘I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 Lelo baada yazyushe wani, aibha tangula witazi lyinyu wi Galilaya.”
Yet, after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.”
29 Petulo ahabhula, “Hata kama bhundti bhaileha, aani sihaileha.”
“Even if everyone else falls away,” said Peter, “I will not.”
30 U Yesu abhabulile, “Lyoli ihubhula, usiku hubhu ihanda shazili akuje habhili, uhanile mala hatatu.”
“I tell you,” answered Jesus, “that you yourself today – yes, this very night – before the cock crows twice, will disown me three times.”
31 Lelo u Petulo ayanjile, “Ibhadazimisye afwe nawesaga imba hu lyije bhunti bhafumia ihadi ile ile.
But Peter vehemently protested, “Even if I must die with you, I will never disown you!” And they all said the same.
32 Bhahinzele kwenye ieneo ilyaitwaga Gethsemane, uYesu ahabhula asundwa bhakwe, “Khalaji ipa uwakati ilabha.”
Presently they came to a garden known as Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples “Sit down here while I pray.”
33 Abhega Petulo, Yakobo, na Yohana pandwemo nawo, nahanda asononeshe hata miwe sana.
He took with him Peter, James, and John; and began to show signs of great dismay and deep distress of mind.
34 Ahabhula, “Inafsi yani yani isoneneha sana, hata afwe. Sagalaji phepa nabhemaso.”
“I am sad at heart,” he said, “sad even to death; wait here, and watch.”
35 U Yesu abhala witanzi hashe, ahagwa paka panzi, ahalabha, ghashiwezena, huje isaili linepushe.
Going on a little further, he threw himself on the ground, and began to pray that, if it were possible, he might be spared that hour.
36 Ahayanga, “Aba, Baba, Amambo gunte huliwe gawezehana. Unefenzwe ishikombe ishi. Lelo saga hu mapenzi gane, ila amapenzi gaho.”
“Abba, Father,” he said, “all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me; yet, not what I will, but what you will.”
37 Abhuya abhaga shabha gonile, abhula aPetro, “Simoni, we ulishugonile? Hagauwezizya abhe maso hata isaa hatalimo?
Then he came and found the three apostles asleep. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you watch for one hour?
38 Khalaji maso mulabhaje musahenze. Agwile mujelo. Lyoli roho ili tayali, lelo ubhele dhaifu.”
Watch and pray,” he said to them all, “so that you may not fall into temptation. True, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Ahashila nantele alabhe, atumila zinongwa zyazila.
Again he went away, and prayed in the same words;
40 Ahenza nantele ahega shagonile, pipo amaso goo galimamwamu nahamenye henu ahabhule.
and coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to say to him.
41 Ahenza mala hatatu shabhabhula, “Muli sha mugonile na tuyaji? Muyile! Saa ifishile. Enya! Mwana wa Adamu bhanza hutake wilenga makhono agabhibhivhi.
A third time he came, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Enough! My time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked people.
42 Bhuhaji, sali. Enya, ola uwantake wilenga alipipi.”
Up, and let us be going. Look! My betrayer is close at hand.”
43 Enya alishanga uYuda uwalipadwimo na abhilongo na bhabhile, afiha, nimbuga ingosi afume wagosi bhachungaji, asimbi agosi napanga na madugu.
And just then, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came up; and with him a crowd of people, with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the elders.
44 Umuda gwugwo uhutake wilenga wakwe ali apile ishimanyilo, ayagaula uhbinza hununile yuyo khataji nahutwale nabhe chini alidwaje.”
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. “The man whom I kiss,” he had said, “will be the one; arrest him and take him away safely.”
45 Lelo uYuda pahafiha, moja kwa moja ahabhala wa Yesu nayanje, “Mwalimo!” Anunila.
As soon as Judas came, he went up to Jesus at once, and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him.
46 Pipo uwaponye panzi yagulye nahukhatwe.
Then the men seized Jesus, and arrested him.
47 Lelo umo muhati yao amenlela paphephe nao achomola ipanga lyakwe akhoma utumishi uwa chunga ugosi nahudumule ikutu.
One of those who were standing by drew his sword, and struck at the high priest’s servant, and cut off his ear.
48 U Yesu abhabhulile, “Mwenzele ahate namapanga nadugu nishi uwafula?
But Jesus spoke up, and said to the men, “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me?
49 Uwakati shilasiku nabha namwe shimbamanyizya, mushibhanza. Sagamwahataga. Lelo ili libhobishe ili amasimbo gatimile.
I have been among you day after day in the Temple Courts teaching, and yet you did not arrest me; but this is in fulfillment of the scriptures.”
50 Bhala bhunti bhali nu Yesu bhaleha nahunyile.
And all the apostles deserted him and fled.
51 Usaha umo ahakunya, uwali akwite ishuka lyene awikwishile hu zyugule; bhakhata lelo
One young man did indeed follow him, wrapped only in a linen sheet. They tried to arrest him;
52 apulumuha alileha ishuka pala ahanyila bhululu.
but he left the sheet in their hands, and fled naked.
53 Bhahalongola uYesu wachungaji ugosi pala paungene padwemo nao nabha chungaji agosi bhunti nashi gosi nasimbi.
Then they took Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests, elders, and the teachers of the Law assembled.
54 U Petulo wope ahadaga uYesu shahutali, awelekele wizyala wachungaji ugosi. Akhala pandwemo nabhagula bhali bheline numwoto bhahotaga ili apate ilyoto.
Peter, who had followed Jesus at a distance into the courtyard of the high priest, was sitting there among the guards, warming himself at the blaze of the fire.
55 Umuda ugwo achungaji agosi bhunti ni balaza lyundti bhanzaga uketi zaidi ya mwene uYesu ili bhapate hugoje. Lelo habhamwaga.
Meanwhile the chief priest and the whole of the High Council were trying to get such evidence against Jesus as would warrant his being put to death, but they could not find any;
56 Huje abhantu ambinji bha haleta ilenga ashile umwene, lelo uketi wabho hawalinganaga.
for, though there were many who gave false evidence against him, yet their evidence did not agree.
57 Bhamo bhahemelye lyanelete uketi uwilenga ashe wa mwene; bhayanga,
Presently some men stood up, and gave this false evidence against him –
58 “Tumamwuvha ayanag, 'Iha inanganya ishibhanza ishi ilyaliganiziwe humakhono, nahuku zitatu ihaizenga ilyta mwao ilyasa linganiziwe humakhono.”'
“We ourselves heard him say ‘I will destroy this Temple made with hands, and in three days build another made without hands.’”
59 Lelo hata uketi wao hali nganaga.
Yet not even on that point did their evidence agree.
60 Uchungaji ugosi amelila pahati yao abhuzwa uYesu, “We, hagaulinijibu? Aa hantu ibha bhayanga yenu kwaji yaliwe?”
Then the high priest stood forward, and questioned Jesus. “Have you no answer to make?” he asked. “What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?”
61 Lelo ahapuma mee hagajibula nalimo. Pipo uchungaji ugosi ahabhuzya nantele awe wi Kilisti, umwana Uwasaiwa?”
But Jesus remained silent, and made no answer. A second time the high priest questioned him. “Are you,” he asked, “the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 U Yesu ayanje, “Huje ani nini. Uhailola Umwana wa Damu akhele hukhono ulilo ugwikhone awinza na mabhingo aga humwanya.”
“I am,” replied Jesus, “and you will all see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
63 Uchungaji ugosi azembula amenda gakwe nayanje, “Lelo tuli shatu wanza aketi?
At this the high priest tore his vestments. “Why do we want any more witnesses?” he exclaimed.
64 Muhuvha amatusi. Uwamuzi winyu vhulihu?” Na bhunti vhalongaga nishi iyabhajile ufwe.
“You heard his blasphemy? What is your verdict?” They all condemned him, declaring that he deserved death.
65 Bhamo bhahanda huswile amate nahu kwishile amaso nahukhome nahu bhule, “Loto!” Maafisa bhamwega na hukhome.
Some of those present began to spit at him, and to blindfold his eyes, and strike him, saying, as they did so, “Now play the prophet!” and even the guards received him with blows.
66 U Petulo pahali bado panzi pizyala, utumishi umo uwalindu uwa chungaji ugosi ahizile wamwene.
While Peter was in the courtyard down below, one of the high priest’s maidservants came up;
67 Ahalola uPetulo pahiminlele awota umwoto, ahamwenya nahubhelele. Ipo ahayanga na wewe uhali nawa Mnazareti, uYesu”.
and, seeing Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him, and exclaimed, “Why, you were with Jesus, the Nazarene!”
68 Lelo akhana, ayanga, “Saga imenye wala siwelewa ahusu hala uhuyanga!” Ipo ahepa abhala huzi wizyala ihada ihakuga.
But Peter denied it. “I do not know or understand what you mean,” he replied. Then he went out into the porch;
69 Lelo utumishi uwishishi pala, ahalola ahandile hubhule na dtele bhala abha bhalivhimile pala, “Umuntu unu alipamoja anao!”
and there the maidservant, on seeing him, began to say again to the bystanders, “This is one of them!”
70 Lelo akhana natele ndtele pamandi hashe bhala abha hali himilile pala bhali bhahubhula uPetulo, lyali awe ulipamoja anao, “Maana na wewe uli mu Galilaya”
But Peter again denied it. Soon afterward the bystanders again said to him, “You certainly are one of them; why you are a Galilean!”
71 Lelo ahandile awibhishe pansi ishigune nawande alape, “Saga imenye umuntu unu uwanuhuyanga.”
But he said to them, “I swear that I do not know the man you are talking about! May God punish me if I am lying!”
72 Ipo ihanda ihakuga ulwabhilye. Ipo Petulo ahizuha izya yangaga gala uYesu agali ahubhula: “Shasili ihanda shisili akuje malahabhili, uzahane mala hatatu.” Ahagwa paka pansi nalile.
At that moment, for the second time, a cock crowed; and Peter remembered the words that Jesus had said to him – ‘Before a cock has crowed twice, you will disown me three times’; and, as he thought of it, he began to weep.
