Mathayo 26
1 U Yesu lwabhamala ayanje inongwa ezyo zyonti, akhabhawozizye abhanafunzi wakwe,
When Jesus had finished teaching all of that, he said to his disciples,
2 “Mumenye aje baada yisiku zibhile huzabhe ishikulukulu ishi pasaka na umwana wa Adamu bhanza hufumye hukhobhehanye.”
“You know that in two days time the Festival of the Passover will be here; and that the Son of Man is to be given up to be crucified.”
3 Pamande abhagosi wi makuhani nabhagogolo bha bhantu, bhakhatangeni peka hwakhala ukukhani ugosi yakhakwiziwanga Kayafa.
Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met in the house of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 Bhahali peka bhakhapanga ishahukhate u Yesu husiri na hubude.
and plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and put him to death;
5 Bhakhajili isakhawombeshe uwakati wa sikulukulu, aje isahafumile ivurugu hwabhantu.”
but they said, “Not during the Festival, or the people may riot.”
6 U Yesu lwahali Hubethania hunyumba ya Simoni mkoma,
After Jesus had reached Bethany, and while he was in the house of Simon the leper,
7 lwahaigolosizye pameza, ushi weka akhezele akhanyumuye umkembe wahali na mafuta igi samani ingosi, akhanyunyulizya pitwe lyakwe.
a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and poured the perfume on his head as he sat at the table.
8 Lakini abhanafunzi wakwe lwabhalola ijambo elyo bhakhavitilwe nayanje, “Yenu ihasala ine?
The disciples were indignant at seeing this. “What is this waste for?” they exclaimed.
9 Ega tahabhajie ishiasi shigosi tibhapele abhapena.”
“It could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to poor people.”
10 Lakini u Yesu, akhamenye eli, akhabhawuzya, “Shunu muhunavya ushe uno? Maana awombile ishintuishinza huline.
“Why are you troubling the woman?” Jesus said, when he noticed it. “For this is a beautiful deed that she has done to me.
11 Abhapena mlinao isiku zyonti, lakini sangamzabhe peka nane wila.
You always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12 Hwapashile amafuta mpele gwana, awombile esho kwa ajili ya sielwe ane.
In pouring this perfume on my body, she prepares me for my burial.
13 Lyoli ihumbawozya, poponti izwi eli linzalimbelelwe munsi mwonti, ishitendo shawombile ushe uno, nantele shinzayangwa kwa ajili ya kumboshe.”
I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, this good news is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her.”
14 Weka wa bhala kumi na bhabhile, yahakwiziwanga Yuda Iskariote, akhabhalile huwagosi bha makuhani
It was then that one of the Twelve, named Judas Iscariot, made his way to the chief priests,
15 na yange, “Mnza hupeleshi nkisalinti?” Bhakhapimila u Yuda ivipande selathini ivihela.
and said “What are you willing to give me, if I betray Jesus to you?” The Priests counted him out thirty pieces of silver as payment.
16 Ahwande umuda ugo ahazile inafasi yahusaliti.
So from that time Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
17 Hata isiku iliahuande makate gasanga gaweshelwe ichachu, abhanafunzi bhahamalila u Yesu na yanje, “Uhwanza hwi tiweshele ishalye shi Pasaka?”
On the first day of the Festival of the unleavened bread, the disciples came up to Jesus, and said, “Where do you wish us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
18 Akhabhawozya, “Bhalaji humjini hwa muntu fulani na mumwonzye, Umwalimu ayinga, “Umuda gwakwe ukalibiye. Ahwanza huimalezye ipasaka peka na bhanafunzi wakwe hu nyumba yakho.”
“Go into the city to a certain man,” he answered, “and say to him ‘The teacher says – My time is near. I will keep the Passover with my disciples at your house.’”
19 Abhanafunzi bhakhawomba nazi u Yesu shabhalajizizye, na bhakhandaile ishalye ishi Pasaka.
The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and prepared the Passover.
20 Lwayafika iliewela, akhakheye alye ishalye peka na bhanafunzi wakwe kumi na bhabhile.
In the evening Jesus took his place with the twelve disciples,
21 Lwabhalianga ishalye ahabhawonzya, “Lyoli ihumbawozya aje weka kati yunyu anzahusaliti.”
and, while they were eating, he said, “I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22 Bhakhazungumiye sana, weka weka bhahandile humwonzye, “Je, saga nene, Bwana?”
In great grief they began to say to him, one by one, “Can it be I, Master?”
23 Ahabhawozya, “Ula yanzatobhele inyobhe yakwe peka nane humbakuli yanza husaliti.
“The one who dipped his bread beside me in the dish,” replied Jesus, “is the one who will betray me.
24 Umwana wa Adamu azasogole, nanzi shisimbililwe. Lakini umuntu yanza husaliti umwana wa Adamu! Indishinza hwa muntu uyo nkasanga ahapapwilwe.”
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!”
25 U Yuda, ula ahali msaliti akhayanga, “Je!, Nene Rabi?” U Yesu ahamonzya, “Uyanjile ijambo elyo awe wewe.”
Judas, who was betraying him, turned to him and said, “Can it be I, Rabbi?” “It is,” answered Jesus.
26 Lwabhalianga ishalye, u Yesu ahenjile ikate, alisaya na akhamenya. Ahabhapela abhanafunzi wakwe akhayanga, “Eji mlye. Ungu bele gwane.”
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it and, as he gave it to his disciples, said, “Take it and eat it; this is my body.”
27 Ahenga ishikombe ahasalipya, ahabhapela na yanje, “Mwelaji mwenti hweshi.
Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, with the words, “Drink from it, all of you;
28 Ene danda yaindagano yane, yihwitikha kwa ajili ya winchi hubhasajile imbibhi zyao.
for this is my covenant blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 Lakini ihumbawhozya sanganahimwela antele amadondu ga mizabibu ega, hadi namwe huumwene wa Daada wane.”
I tell you that I will never, after this, drink of this juice of the grape, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
30 Lwabhamalezya ahwembe ulwembo, bhakhasogola abhle hwigamba ilya mizeituni.
They then sang a hymn, and went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Nantele u Yesu akhawozya usiku uwhu amwe mwonti vitwe kwa ajili yane, kwa kuwa iyandihulilwe, Inzahukhome umchungaji ngole bhanza tabhanyishe.
Then Jesus said to them, “Even you will all fall away from me tonight. Scripture says – ‘I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 Lakini lwanazyokha ane nakhaibhata ngalila abhale Hugalilaya.”
But, after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.”
33 Lakini u Petro akhamwonzya, “Hata nkawonti bhakhane humambo gaganza hu hwaje, ane sangainza hukhane.”
“If everyone else falls away from you,” Peter answered, “I will never fall away!”
34 U Yesu akhamwonzya, “Lyoli ihuwonzya, usiku uwhu shisele ihanda akunte, anzahukhane mara hatatu.”
“I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!”
35 U Perto akhamwozya, “Hata nkimbajie afye nawe, sangaimbala hukhane.” Na bhanafunzi wonti bhayanga shishesho.
“Even if I must die with you,” Peter exclaimed, “I will never disown you!” All the disciples spoke in the same way.
36 Pamande u Yesu ahabhala nao amahali papahwetwa Gethsemane na akhabhawonzya abhanafunzi bhakwe, “Khali epa wakati ane imbala ukho alabhe.”
Then Jesus came with them to a garden called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit down here while I go and pray over there.”
37 Akhamwenga u Petro na abhana bhabhile wa Zebedayo na akhanda azungumile na sononoshe.
Taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to show signs of sadness and deep distress of mind.
38 Nantele akhawonzya, “Umpepo ufinjile wane izungumie pangosi sana, hata ihwanza afye. Lakini epa mubhe masopeka nane.”
“I am sad at heart,” he said, “sad even to death; wait here and watch with me.”
39 Akhabhala pilongolela hadondo, angwa gubama na alabhe. Akhayanga, “Daada wane, nkashe bhajie ishikombe eshi shinepe. Isakhabhe shihwanza ane bali nanzishuhwanza awe.”
Going on a little further, he threw himself on his face in prayer. “My Father,” he said, “if it is possible, let me be spared this cup; only, not as I will, but as you will.”
40 Akhabhabhalila abhanafunzi ahaweje bhagonile utulo, akhabhawozya Petro, “Shunu sangamlimaso nane hata isala lyeka?
Then he came to his disciples, and found them asleep. “What!” he said to Peter, “could none of you watch with me for one hour?
41 Kesyanji na labhe ili msahahinjili mumajaribu. Iroho ili radhi, lakini ubele niwolo.”
Watch and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak.”
42 Akhabhala wee imala ya bhele na labhe, akhayanga, “Daada wane, ijambo eli sagalibhajie hunepe ni lazima imwelele ishikombe eshe, amapenzi gakho gatimile.”
Again, a second time, he went away, and prayed. “My Father,” he said, “if I cannot be spared this cup, but must drink it, your will be done!”
43 Akhawela nantele akhabhaga wagonile utulo, amasogakho gakhali mamwamu.
And coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Nantele akhabhalekha akhabhala akhalabha amara ya utatu akhayanga inongwa zizila.
So he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, again saying the same words.
45 Pamande u Yesu akhabhabhalila abhanafunzi wakwe na hubhawhuzye, “Mulisha mgonile tu natozye? Enyanji isaa ilikaribu, na umwana wa Adamu akhatwa mumakhono mwabha bhibhi.
Then he came to the disciples, and said, “Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Look – my time is close at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked people.
46 Damulaji, tisongolanje. enyi ula yahusalinti akaribiye.”
Up, and let us be going. Look! My betrayer is close at hand.”
47 Lwakhali bado ayanga, u Yuda weka wa bhala kumi na bhabhile akhenza namapanga ni ndungu.
And, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came in sight; and with him was a great crowd of people, with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Nantele umuntu wahusaliti u Yesu akhabhapelile ishara, ahayenje, ula yinza hubusu, ndiyo yuyo. Khante.”
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. “The man whom I kiss,” he had said, “will be the one; arrest him.”
49 Papepo akhezele hwa Yesu akhayanga, “Salamu, Mwalimu!” Na akhabusu.
So he went up to Jesus at once, and exclaimed, “Welcome, Rabbi!” and kissed him;
50 U Yesu akhamwozya, “Kondani, liwhombe lila ulinalyo lililetile.” Ndipo bhahenza, nagolosye inyobhe hwa Yesu na hukhante.
at which Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you have come for.” The men went up, seized Jesus, and arrested him.
51 Enyi, umuntu weka yakhalipeka nu Yesu, akhagolosesye inyonbhe yakwe, akhachomola ipanga lyakwe, akhakhoma umuomba mbombo wa kuhani ugosi, na hudumule ikutu lyakwe.
Suddenly one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and striking the high priest’s servant, cut off his ear.
52 Ndipo u Yesu akhamuozya, wezya ipanga lyakho puyejile, kwa kuwa wonti bhabhatumila ipanga bhanza hwangamile ni panga.
“Sheathe your sword,” Jesus said, “for all who draw the sword will be put to the sword.
53 Myinga sangaimbajie hukwinzye udaada wane, nape angantumila abhalugu zaidi ya kumi na bhabhile ya awatumi?
Do you think that I cannot ask my Father for help, when he would at once send to my aid more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Eshi shihwaziwa atokele ili amandiko katimile hwidala elyo?”
But in that case how would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that this must be?”
55 Uwakati whuwho u Yesu akhabhawuzyo bhabhawungene, “Je! Mwenzele namapanga nidungu hukhante nazi yahupa? Kila lisiku nakhakheye namwe mshibhanza, nabhamayizyanga sanga mwakha kheute!
Jesus at the same time said to the crowds, “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? I have sat teaching day after day in the Temple Courts, and yet you did not arrest me.”
56 Lakini gonti enga gawombeshe ili amaandiko ga watumi gatimile.” Ndipo abhanafunzi wakwe bhakhanekha bhakhashembela.
The whole of this occurred in fulfillment of the prophetic scriptures. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.
57 Bhala bhabhakhate u Yesu bhakhatwala hua Kayafa, ukuhani ugosi, amahali epo abhasimbi na agogolo bhahawongene peka.
Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the Law and elders had assembled.
58 Lakini u Petro akhafuatle hwisinda huhutali mpaka hushumba sha kuhani ugosi. Ahinjila mhanti akhakhala peka nu ninzi alole shashinza fumile.
Peter followed him at a distance as far as the high priest’s courtyard, to see the outcome.
59 Basi abhagosi bha makuhani ni baraza lyonti liahazanga uushaidi wileukha juu ya Yesu, ili bhapate hubude.
Meanwhile the chief priests and the whole of the High Council were trying to get such false evidence against Jesus, as would warrant putting him to death,
60 Bhakhafumie amashaidi winchi, lakini sangabhahayeje imbibhi yoyuti. Lakini pamandi amashahidi bhabhile bhakhafumila hwilongolela
but they did not find any, although many came forward with false evidence. Later on, however, two men came forward and said,
61 na bhayanga, “Umuntu uno akhayenje, “Imbajiye agwisye ishibhaza isha Ngolobhe na hushizenje nantele husiku zitatu.”
“This man said ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
62 Ukuhani ugosi ahemelela na humwonzye, “Saga ujibu? Ewa bhahuwhuzya wele juu yakho?”
Then the high priest stood up, and said to Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?”
63 Lakini u Yesu akhapuma mye. Ukuhani ugosi ahamwozya, “Nanzi uNgolobhe shakhala ihulazimisya utawhuzye, awe wewe Klisiti, Umwana wa Ngolobhe.”
But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I order you, by the living God, to tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 U Yesu ahabhawuzya, “Awe wewe uyanjele ijambo elyo. Lakini ihuwozyo, ahwande eshi nahwendelele, unza hunole Umwana wa Adamu akheye ukhono unelo uulinigovo, na ahuenza humawengo gahumwanya.”
“It is true,” Jesus answered, “Moreover I tell you all that hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty, and coming on the clouds of the heavens.”
65 Ndipo ukuhani ugosi akhazebula amenda gakwe nayanje, “Akhanile! Je, tihwanza washi nayanje uushahidi?
Then the high priest tore his robes. “This is blasphemy!” he exclaimed. “Why do we want any more witnesses? You have just heard his blasphemy!
66 Je! Msebhashi bhayanga nahumwozye, “Ahuanziwa afye.”
What is your decision?” They answered, “He deserves death.”
67 Nantele bhakhashelela amate humasona hukhome ingumi na huchete amakofi ni nyobhe zyao,
Then they spat in his face, and struck him, while others dealt blows at him, saying as they did so,
68 na bhakhamuozya, “Yanga, wewe Klisiti. Yunanu yachapile?”
“Now play the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you?”
69 Isala izyo u Petro ahakheye huoze huu kumbi, umuomba mbombo wishishi ahamalila nahumuozye, “Awe nawe ulipeka nu Yesu wa Galilaua.”
Peter, meanwhile, was sitting outside in the courtyard; and a maidservant came up to him, and exclaimed, “Why, you were with Jesus the Galilean!”
70 Lakini ahakhanile hubele yao wonti, ahanga sangaimenye ahantu huyanga.”
But Peter denied it before them all. “I do not know what you mean,” he replied.
71 Lwabhala hunze huniango, umuomba mbombo uwamwao wishishi ahanola na hubhawhuzyebhabhahali epo, “Umuntu uno nope alipeka nu Yesu wa Nazareti.”
When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth!”
72 Akhakhana tena na lape, ana sangaimenye umuntu uno.”
Again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
73 Umuda kidogo pamande, wala bhabhahemeleye karibu, bhakhamalila nahumuozye u Petro, “Na lyoli awe nawe ulipeka nao, hata njango yakho ilolesya.”
But soon afterward those who were standing by came up and said to Peter, “You also are certainly one of them; why, even your way of speaking proves it!”
74 Pahandile akhana na lape, ane sanga imenye umuntu uno,” papepo ihanda ikhakuta.
Then Peter said, “I swear that I do not know the man! May God punish me if I am lying!” At that moment a cock crowed;
75 U Petro ahakumbukha inongwa yakhamuozezye u Yesu, kabla yihanda isele akute unza hukhane mara hatatu.”
and Peter remembered the words which Jesus had said – ‘Before a cock has crowed, you will disown me three times’; and he went outside, and wept bitterly.
