Maliko 14
1 Mpokwalashala masuba abili kwambeti kube Pasika, ne kusekelela kwa shinkwa wabula chishikufufumusha. Beshimilumbo bamakulene ne beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, bali kulangaula mwakumwikatila Yesu kwakubula kwinshiba bantu kwambeti bamushine.
It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him.
2 Nomba balikwambeti “Nkatwelela kumwikata pa cindi cakusekelela sobwe, pakwinga ngapaba mipyopyongano.”
For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”
3 Yesu mpwalikuba mung'anda ya shimoni, shimankuntu ku Betani, pacindi ncebalikulya kwalashika mutukashi walikuba wamata nsupa yalibwe lya alabasita mwalikuba wabika mafuta anunkila amulo wadula, amushobo wa nadi. Walapwaya nsupa ya libwe ne kutatika kwitila mafuta pa mutwi wa Yesu.
While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over his head.
4 Nomba nabambi calabepila, balambeti “Nipacebo cini ncalatayilinga awa mafuta anunkila cisa?”
But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
5 “Canga celela kwaulisha mafutawa ne kucanamo mali angi ngelakufola muntu pa caka, akunyamfwilisha bakandu.” Neco balamukalalila mutukashi usa.
For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.
6 Nomba Yesu walambeti, “Mulekeni, mulamupenshelenga cani uyu mutukashi? Ici ncalenshili ame caina.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
7 Pakwinga bakandu mulinabo cindi conse, cakwinseti mwayandanga kubenshila byaina, inga mubenshila, nomba amwe nteti mubenga nenjame cindi conse sobwe.
For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8 Uyu mutukashi lenshi ncelela kwinsa, pakwinga lananikili limo mafuta pamubili wakame kantanambikwa mu manda.
She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
9 Cakubinga ndambangeti kulikonse uko Mulumbe Waina nkoti ukakambaukwe pa cishi conse. Ici ncalenshi mutukashi uyu naco nibakacambenga kubantu kwambeti bakamwanukilengaponga.”
Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
10 Nomba Yuda Sikalyote umo wa beshikwiya likumi ne babili, walaya kuli beshimilumbo bamakulene kuya kumulisha kulyendibo.
Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
11 Balakondwa mpobalanyumfwa ncalabambila ne kumushomesha kwambeti nibakamupe mali ngobalapangana. Nendi walatatika kulangaula cindi celela ca kumulisha.
They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
12 Pabusuba bwakutanguna bwa kusekelela kwa shinkwa wabula cishikufufumusha, pacindi ncobali kubenga milumbo ya nyama, beshikwiya bakendi Yesu balamwipusheti, “Inga mulayandanga twengakupeyo kuya kumubambila musena wakulyelako Pasika?”
On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”
13 Popelapo Yesu walatuma beshikwiya babili kuya kulangaula musena, ne kubambileti, “Kamuyani mu munshi uwu. Nimukumane ne mutuloba wamanta mungomo wa menshi mumukonkele.
He sent 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 Engila mung'anda mumwambile mwine, eti ‘Bashikwiyisha balepushungeti, cilikupeyo cipinda cabensu umo mweti njise ndyele Pasika pamo ne beshikwiya bakame?
and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
15 Nomba amulesha ng'anda yapelu mwabambwa cena, mopelomo mweshimubambile Pasika.”
He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”
16 Neco beshikwiya basa balaya mumunshi, kayi byalenshika ndendende mbuli mwalabambilila, Pasika balamubambila kopeloko.
His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 Cakumansailo Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya likumi ne babili balashika.
When it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 Pacindi ncobalekala panshi kabalya Yesu walabambileti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilinga umo pali njamwe uyo lalinga pamo nenjame nangulishe.”
As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”
19 Bonse balanyumfwa nsoni ne kutatika ku mwipusha Yesu umo ne umo kabambeti, “Ndashometi ntame ngomulambanga ayi?”
They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”
20 Nendi Yesu walambeti, “Umo pali amwe likumi ne babili, ‘Umo pali njamwe, uyo walyanga pamo nenjame mumbale iyi, epeloyo elangulishinga.’
He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
21 Ni cakubinga Mwana Muntu lenga akufwa, mbuli Mabala ncalambanga sha endiye, nomba malele ku muntu lamulishinga Mwana wa Muntu! Ne calaba cena muntuyo nalabula kusemwa.”
For the Son of Man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
22 Mpobalikulya Yesu walamanta shinkwa ne kulumba Lesa, ne kukomauna shinkwa ne kubapa, ne kwambeti, “Kamumanta shinkwa uwu, emubili wakame.”
As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”
23 Kayi walamanta nkomenshi mwalikuba waini walalumba Lesa, panyuma pakendi walabatambika nkomeshi mpaka bonse balanwamo.
He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
24 Panyuma pakendi walabambileti, “Waini uwu emilopa yakame ya Cipangano iletikilinga bantu bangi.
He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
25 Cakubinga ndamwambilingeti, nteti nkanwepo waini mpaka pa busuba ubo mbweshi nkanwe waini naumbi mu Bwami bwa Lesa.”
Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”
26 Mpobalapwisha kwimbila nyimbo shakushikaisha Lesa balapula ne kuya ku mulundu maolifi.
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Yesu walabambileti, “Mwense nimunkane mbuli Mabala alambangeti, ‘Ninkashine mwembeshi, ne mbelele ni shikamwaike.’
Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 Ndakapundushiwa kufuma kubafu, ninkamutangunine kuya ku Galileya.”
However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
29 Petulo nendi walambeti kuli Yesu, “Nambi bonse bamukane ame nkandelela.”
But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”
30 Yesu popelapo walamwambileti, “Cakubinga ndakwambilinga obe Petulo Kombwe katanalila tunkanda tubili lelo mashiku, obe nunkane tunkanda tutatu.”
Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
31 Nsombi nendi Petulo walakumbula cangofu, “Nkandelela kwambeco, nambi eti mfwa pamo nenjamwe!” Beshikwiya nabambi bonse balamba cimocimo.
But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.
32 Mpolabashika pa musena walikukwiweti Getsemane Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi, “Kamwikalako panshi pamo ndenga kuya kupaila kuli Lesa.”
They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33 Pakuya uko walamanta Petulo ne Jemusi kayi ne Yohane, nsombi walapenga ne kuyakamwa mumoyo.
He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34 Neco walabambileti, “Ame ndetelwa mumoyo cakwinsa kufwa, kamwikalani pano, kamutashinshila.”
He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
35 Mpwalendako ntamwa shingana Yesu walaliwisha panshi nekutatika kupaileti, nakacikonsheka cintu cilayandanga kwinshika pacindi ici, cibule kwishinka.
He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36 Kayi walambeti, “Abba, Ta, Amwe ngamwinsa bintu bili byonse, kamufunyani nkomeshi mapensho ilayandanga kwisa pali njame, nsombi kakutaba kuyanda kwakame, sobwe nsombi kube kuyanda kwenu.”
He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
37 Mpwalabwela pamusena mpwalabashiya walacana kabali bonatulo, neco walepusha Petulo, “Shimoni sena ucili wonatulo, ‘nkowelela kuliyumishako kwakacindi kang'anowa?”
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?
38 Kayi walabambileti, “Mobantu amwe pundukani, mupaile kwambeti kamutengila mumapensho, cakubinga, moyo ulandishishinga, nomba mubili walefuka.”
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Yesu walabashiya kayi beshikwiya batatu basa, walaya akupaila kayi kamba cimo cimo.
Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
40 Mpwalabwela walacana nkabali bonatulo pakwinga bikope byabo byalikuba byalema, neco balabula cakwamba kulyendiye.
Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t know what to answer him.
41 Walabwela kacitatu ne kubepusheti “Mucili monatulo ne kupumwina? Mwaliba! Cindi cilakwana kamubonani Mwana Muntu ulipepi kutwalwa mu makasa abantu baipa.
He came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Nyamukani, tiyeni. Kamubonani shikungulisha nte uyu lashiki.”
Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
43 Yesu kacamba maswi awa Yuda Isikalyoti umo wabeshikwiya likumi ne babili walashika pamo ne likoto lyabantu abo balatumwa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene, ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ne bamakulene, kabalibamanta byensho, ne mingwala.
Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44 Apa shikumulisha Yesu wali kalilabapakendi cishibisho ncobalayumfwana pamo cakwambeti, “Uyo ngotinshonshote pakumupa mitende, endiye Yesu mumwikatishe, mwenganendi, kamutamulekapo.”
Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”
45 Yuda walaya pali kuba Yesu mwakufwambana ne kwambeti, “Mitende Bashikwiyisha,” Ne kumunshonshonta.
When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.
46 Neco balamutanya Yesu ne kumusunga.
They laid their hands on him and seized him.
47 Nomba naumo walikuba wemana pepi walasolola cibeshi cakendi ne kukwempula naco litwi lya musebenshi wa Shimilumbo Mukulene.
But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Nendi Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga mulamantili cani bibeshi, ne mingwala pakwisa kunjikata eti mulesanga kulwana ne kapondo?
Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
49 Masuba onse ndalikuba nenu mpondali kwiyisha mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, muliyawa kuyeya shakunjikata. Nomba ibi bilenshikinga kwambeti Mabala akwanilishiwe.”
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
50 Beshikwiya bonse balafwamba ne kumushiya enka.
They all left him, and fled.
51 Nomba mutuloba naumo walikuba walifweka mwingila walikakonkela Yesu. Neye balayanda kumwikata,
A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
52 Walashiya cakufwala cakendi mumakasa abo ne kufwamba matakosha.
but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
53 Balamutwala Yesu kuli Shimilumbo mukulene uko nkobalabungana beshimilumbo bonse, ne beshikwiyisha ya milawo ne bamakulene bonse.
They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
54 Nomba Petulo walikuba pamo ne bantu bangi abo balikukonkela panyuma, mpaka walakengila mukati mwalubuwa lwa ng'anda ya Shimilumbo Mukulene, walakekala panshi pamo ne bamalonda kayota mulilo.
Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
55 Pacindici beshimilumbo bamakulene, pamo ne Nkuta inene ya Bayuda, bali kulangaula bukamboni bwakwambeti Yesu acanike ne mulandu wakumushina, nomba calala kubacana.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56 Pakwinga bangi balamba bukamboni bwapusanapusana pakuyanda kumucaninapo mulandu Yesu.
For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.
57 Nikukabeco nabambi bali kwimana ne kwamba bukamboni bwabwepeshi,
Some stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying,
58 ne kwambeti, “Afwe twalamunyumfwa kambeti, ‘Ame ninkaiwishe Ng'anda ya Lesa iyi yalebakwa ne makasa,’ Nomba mu masuba atatu ame ninkebake imbi itebakwa ne makasa.”
“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”
59 Nikukabeco byonse mbyobalikwamba nkabyalikuba byekatana.
Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.
60 Shimilumbo mukulene walemana ne kumwipusha Yesu, “Sena uliyawa cakwambapo? Sena nibyakubinga ibi mbyobala kwambanga?”
The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”
61 Nomba nendi walamwena tonto, uliya kwambapo ciliconse. Apa kayi Shimilumbo Mukulene walamwipusha Yesu, “Sena njobe Klistu, Mwanendi Lesa Walelekwa?”
But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Cakubinga ame njame. Mobantu amwe nimukabone Mwana Muntu kaliwekala kucikasa ca lulyo ca ngofu, nimukamubone kesa mumakumbi akwilu.”
Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”
63 Shimilumbo mukulene mpwalanyumfwa maswi awa walatwamuna mwinjila wakendi nekwambeti, “Sena muciyanda kayi bakamboni nabambi?
The high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?
64 Mulalinyumfwili mobene ncalamunyansa Lesa. Mulayeyengapongeconi?” Bonse balambeti lacaniki ne mulandu, welela kufwa.
You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
65 Popelapo nabambi balatatika kumusankila mata, kumufweka pamenso, ne kumuma makofi, ne kwambeti, “Lotela!” Inga niyani lakumu? Panyuma pakendi, bamalonda balamumanta kabaya kumuma.
Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
66 Petulo kacili mu lubuwa lwamukati, umo musebenshi mutukashi wa Shimilumbo Mukulene walesa.
As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
67 Mpwalamubona Petulo kayota mulilo walamulangishisha nekwambeti, “Nenjamwe mwalikuba ne Yesu waku Nasaleti.”
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”
68 Nsombi nendi walamukana nekwambeti, “Nambi kumwinshiba, nkandi mwinshipo, kayi nkandanyumfwishishinga na ulambanga cani.” Mpwalambeco walapula kaya pacishinga.
But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
69 Kayi musebenshi mutukashi usa mpwalamubona kayi, walatatika kubambila abo mbwalikuba nabo pepi kwambeti, “Muntuyu walikwenda ne Yesu.”
The maid saw him and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.”
70 Kayi apa walamukana. Mpopalapita kacindi pang'ana abo balikuba bemana pepi nendi Petulo balatatika kumwipusha eti, “Cakubinga obe njobe umo wa endibo nenjobe omu Galileya.”
But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
71 Nsombi nendi walatatika kulishinganya, ne kulumbileti, “Ame nkandimwishi muntuyu ngomulambanga sobwe.” Ne Kombwe walalila.
But he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”
72 Popelapo kayi Kombwe walalila katubili, Petulo walanuka ncalamwambila Yesu “Cakubinga ndakwabilinga Petulo obe, kombwe katanalila tunkanda tubili mashiku alelo obe nunkane tunkanda tutatu.” Neco, walatatika kulila cakutamwena.
The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.
