Mateyo 26
1 Yesu mpwalapwisha kubeyisha makani awa, walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti,
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these saying, he said to his disciples,
2 “Mucinshi cena kwambeti papita masuba abili, kusekelela kwa Pasika nikutatike, neco Mwana Muntu nakatwalwe kuya kupopwa.”
Ye know that after two days the Passover comes, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Pacindi copeleco, bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balabungana mu ng'anda ya Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo bonse, lina lyakendi Kayafa.
Then the chief priests, and the scholars, and the elders of the people, assembled together to the courtyard of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 Balikupangana mobelela kumwikatila Yesu kwakubula nabambi kwinshiba ne kumushina.
and they deliberated so that they might take Jesus by trickery, and kill him.
5 Nsombi balikwambeti, “Nkatwelela kumwikata mumasuba akusekelela Pasika sobwe, pakwinga ngapaba minyungwe pakati pabantu.”
But they said, Not during the feast, lest an uproar develop among people.
6 Yesu mpwalikuba ku Betaniya, mu ng'anda ya Shimoni shimankuntu.
Now when Jesus happened to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 Nomba mpobalikulya patebulu, palashika mutukashi walikuba wamanta nsupa mwalikuba mafuta anunkila amulo wadula, walatatika kwitila mafutawo pamutwi wa Yesu.
a woman came to him having an alabaster cruse of precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head as he sat relaxing.
8 Nomba beshikwiya bakendi mpobalaboneco, balepilwa kwine, ne kwambeti, “Inga nikwataila cani cisa mafuta pabulyo.”
But when his disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste?
9 “Mafutawa ayandikanga kwaulisha mali angi, ne kunyamfwalishako bantu bapenshi.”
For this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 Yesu pakwinshiba byonse mbyobalikwamba, walabepusheti, “Mulamupenshelenga cani mutukashi uyu? Ici ncalenshili ame caina.”
But Jesus knowing it, he said to them, Why do ye cause troubles to the woman? For she has wrought a good work upon me.
11 “Nimukutenga bantu bapenshi cindi conse, nsombi nteti munkutenga cindi conse sobwe,
For ye always have the poor with you, but ye do not always have me.
12 nendi letili mafutawa pamubili pakame, ‘lananikili limo kantana mbikwa mu manda.’
For by pouring this ointment upon my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, kulikonse uko bantu nkweshi bakakambaukenga Mulumbe uwu Waina pacishi conse, naco ici ncalenshi ni bakacambenga, kwambeti bantu bakanukilenga ponga.”
Truly I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will also be told for a memorial of her.
14 Panyuma pakendi umo wabeshikwiya likumi ne babili, Yuda Sikalyote walaya kuli ba makulene beshimilumbo.
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, having gone to the chief priests,
15 Ne kuya kubepusheti, “Inga nimumpe cani ndamulisha Yesu kuli njamwe?” Naboyo popelapo balabelenga mali a silifa makumi atatu ne kumupa.
he said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they weighed out to him thirty silver pieces.
16 Kufuma cindico, Yuda Sikalyote, walatatika kulangaula cindi celela ca kumwikatilapo Yesu.
And from that time he sought a favorable opportunity so that he might betray him.
17 Pabusuba bwakutanguna bwakusekelela masuba ashinkwa wabula cishifufumusha, beshikwiya bakendi balesa kuli Yesu ne kumwipusheti, “Twenga kupeyo kuya kumubambila musena wa kulyelako Pasika?”
Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where do thou want that we should prepare for thee to eat the Passover?
18 Yesu walabambileti, “Kamuyani mu munshi uwu kumuntu wakuti wakuti, muye mwambeti, cindi cabo Bashikwiyisha cilipepi, balayandanga kwisa kulyela Pasika pamo ne beshikwiya babo kwenu.”
And he said, Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, The teacher says, My time is near. I keep the Passover with my disciples with thee.
19 Basa beshikwiya balensa mbuli Yesu ncalabambila, balabamba Pasika.
And the disciples did as Jesus arranged for them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 Mansailo mpokwalashipuluka, Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi likumi ne babili balekala patebulu ne kutatika kulya.
Now having become evening, he was sitting with the twelve.
21 Kabacilya, Yesu walabambileti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, umo pali njamwe langulishinga kubalwani bakame.”
And as they were eating, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.
22 Beshikwiya balanyumfwa nsoni, neco, balatatika kumwipusha Yesu, umo ne umo Nkambo, sena njame?
And being exceedingly sorrowful, they began, each of them, to say to him, Is it I, Lord?
23 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Umo pali njamwe, uyo walyanga pamo nenjame mumbale iyi, epeloyo elangulishinga.
And having answered, he said, He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, this man will betray me.
24 ‘Mwana Muntu nafwe nditu, mbuli Mabala ncalambanga,’ Nomba ukute malele muntu laulishinga Mwana Muntu, ne calabako cena nalabula kusemwapo muntuyo.”
The Son of man indeed goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him if that man had not been born.
25 Yuda Sikalyote, usa walamulisha, walepusheti, “Bashikwiyisha, cakubinga nkandela kuba ame ngomulambanga ayi?” Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Ulamba omwine.”
And Judas (the man who betrayed him) having answered, he said, Is it I, Rabbi? He says to him, Thou have said.
26 Cindi ncobalikulya, Yesu walamanta shinkwa walapaila ne kulumba Lesa, walakomona komona, walayabila beshikwiya, ne kwambeti, “Mantani, kamulyani, uwu emubili wakame.”
And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, having expressed thanks, broke in pieces, and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body.
27 Kayi walamanta nkomeshi yesula waini, walalumba Lesa, ne kubapa beshikwiya basa, nekubambileti, “Kamunwa mwense.
And having taken the cup, having expressed thanks, he gave to them, saying, All ye drink of it,
28 Iyi emilopa yakame yacipangano iletikilinga bantu bangi kwambeti, balekelelwe bwipishi bwabo.
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed on behalf of many for remission of sins.
29 Cakubinga, nteti nkanwepo waini umbi, mpaka busuba mbweshi nkanwe waini walinolino pamo ne njamwe mu Bwami bwa Bata.”
But I say to you, that I will, no, not drink of this fruit of the grapevine henceforth until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 Panyuma pakwimbila lwimbo lwakutembaula Lesa, bonse balapula, balaya ku mulundu wa maolifi.
And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
31 Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi kwambeti, “Lelo mashiku mwense nimunkane ne kunshiya ndenka, pakwinga kwalembweti, ‘Ninkashine mwembeshi, kayi litanga lya mbelele nilikapalangane,’
Then Jesus says to them, All ye will be caused to stumble by me in this night, for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.
32 Nomba ndakapundushiwa kubafu, njameti nkatangune kuya ku Galileya.”
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Nomba Petulo walambeti, “Nambi bonse bamukane ne kumushiya, ame ndenka nteti ndimukanepo pimbi.”
But having answered, Peter said to him, If all men will be caused to stumble by thee, I will never be caused to stumble.
34 Apo Yesu walamwambila Petulo, “Cakubinga ndakwambilishingeti, lyopele lelo mashiku, kombwe katanalila, obe nunkane tunkanda tutatu, kwambeti nkonjishipo sobwe.”
Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, that in this night, before a cock sounds, thou will deny me thrice.
35 Nomba Petulo walambeti, “Nambi cambweti mfwe pamo nenjamwe nteti nkamukanepo sobwe.” Nabo beshikwiya bonse balamba cimo cimo.
Peter says to him, Even if I must die with thee, I will, no, not deny thee. And likewise also, said all the disciples.
36 Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balaya kumusena walikukwiweti, Getisemani, uko nkwalakabambileti, “Kamwikalani pano, ame ndenga uko kuya kupaila.”
Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit ye here until, after going, I may pray there.
37 Walamantako Petulo, ne banabendi Sebedayo babili, Yesu walongumana, ne kupenga mumoyo.
And having taken Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and distressed.
38 Walabambileti, “Mumoyo wakame muli bulanda bunene bwakufwa nabo. Kwamwikalani pano, nomba kamucetukani.”
Then Jesus says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, as far as of death. Remain ye here and watch with me.
39 Yesu walaya pantangu ntamwa pang'ana, walawa kali wakotamika cinso cakendi panshi ne kutatika kupaila, walambeti, “Ta, na kacikonsheka, mufunye nkomeshi yamapensho iyi. Nsombi kakutaba kuyanda kwakame sobwe, nsombi kube kuyanda kwenu.”
And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, may this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I want, but as thou.
40 Mpwalambeco, Yesu walabwelela kwalikuba beshikwiya basa, walabacana kabali bona tulo, neco walamwipusha Petulo, “Inga mulalilwaconi kupembelela pamo ne njame kwa kacindi kang'anowa.
And he comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, So ye could not watch with me one hour.
41 Kumucetukani kayi kamupailani kwambeti kamutawila mu masunko. Walo moyo ulayandishishinga, nsombi mubili ulalefuku.”
Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation. Truly, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 Kayi Yesu walabashiya nekuya kankanda katubili kuya kupaila kambeti, “Ta, na nkomeshi ya mapensho iyi, nkayelela kumpitilila mpaka nwamo, naco caina, kuyanda kwinshike.”
Having gone again a second time, he prayed, saying, My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to pass from me, except I drink it, may thy will happen.
43 Mpwalabwelako kayi walabacana kabali bona tulo, pakwinga bikope byabo byalalema ne tulo.
And having come again, he finds them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Kayi Yesu walabashiya walaya kupaila katunkanda tutatu, kamba maswi amo amo.
And when he left them, having gone away again, he prayed a third time, saying again the same statement.
45 Panyuma pakendi, walesa kuli beshikwiya bakendi basa ne kwambeti, “Ne lino mucili monatulo, ne kupumwina ‘Cindi cilashiki,’ Mwana Muntu nabikwe mu makasa abantu baipa.”
Then he comes to his disciples, and says to them, Sleep what remains, and take rest. Behold, the hour has come near, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 “Pundukani! Tiyeni! Nte uyu shikungulisha lashiki!”
Awake, we go. Behold, he who betrays me has come near.
47 Yesu kacamba, Yuda Sikalyote, umo wa beshikwiya likumi ne babili walashika ne likoto lyabantu kabali bamanta bibeshi ne mingwala. Bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene ba Bayuda ebalabatuma aba bantu.
And while he was still speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs from the chief priest and elders of the people.
48 Shikumulisha wali kalilabambili kendi cishibisho, kwambeti, “Uyo ngweshi nshonshonte, endiye ngomulayandanga, mumwikate!”
Now the man who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I may kiss is he. Seize him.
49 Yuda Sikalyote walalulama palikuba Yesu ne kwambeti, Mitende Bashikwiyisha! Mpwalambeco walamushonshonta.
And straightaway having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi, and kissed him much.
50 Yesu walamwambileti, “Obe ndo fwambana kwinsa ncoleshili.” Popelapo basa bantu Yesu balamutanya ne kumusunga.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, why are thou here? Then having come, they threw their hands on Jesus, and seized him.
51 Nomba kamubonani! umo walikuba pamo ne Yesu walapulisha cibeshi, ne kumutimbula litwi musebenshi wa Shimilumbo mukulene.
And behold, one of those with Jesus, having stretched out a hand, drew his sword, and when he struck the bondman of the high priest, he cut off his ear.
52 Nomba Yesu walamwambileti, “Bwesha cibeshico mucikwama, pakwinga bonse balasebenseshenga bibeshi, nibakafwe ku bibeshi,”
Then Jesus says to him, Return thy sword into its place, for all those who take a sword will die by a sword.
53 Sena ulayeyengeti nkandelela kukuwa ne kusenga Bata, balo pacindi copele cino ngabantumina bangelo bankondo bapita makoto likumi ne abili.
Or do thou think that I cannot now call my Father, and he will provide to me more than twelve legions of agents?
54 Na ame nyinseco, ngabinshikeconi byalambwa mu Mabala kwambeti byelela kwinshika.
How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it is necessary to happen this way?
55 Popelapo, bantu basa Yesu walabepusheti, “Nipacebo cini mulaletelele bibeshi ne mingwala, pakunjikata eti njame kapondo? Masuba onse ndekalanga nenu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa kanjiyisha.”
In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Did ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.
56 “Nomba ibi byonse bilenshiki kwambeti mbyobalalemba bashinshimi mu Mabala bikwanilishiwe.” Popelapo beshikwiya bakendi bonse balafwamba, ne kumushiya Yesu enka.
But all this has come to pass, so that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, having forsook him.
57 Bantu basa mpobalamwikata Yesu, balamutwala ku ng'anda ya Kayafa Mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse, uko nkobalabungana beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne bamakulene ba Bayuda.
And those who seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest where the scholars and the elders were assembled together.
58 Petulo, walikakonka panyuma capataliko, mpaka walakengila mukati mulubuwa lwa ng'anda ya Mukulene wa beshimilumbo usa. Walengila mukati ne kuya kwikala pamo ne bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa, kwambeti abone ceti cinshike.
But Peter followed him from afar, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And having entered inside, he sat with the subordinates to see the outcome.
59 Beshimilumbo bamakulene, ne bonse bamu Nkuta inene ya Bayuda, bali kulangaula bakamboni bela kumubepeshela Yesu kwambeti bamushine.
Now the chief priests and the elders and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death,
60 Nikukabeti palesa bakamboni bangi bela kumubepeshela, nsombi baliya kucanapo bukamboni bwancinencine mbobalikulangaula. Kumapwililisho kwalesa bantu babili,
and they did not find it. And although many false witnesses came, they did not find it.
61 balambeti, “Muntuyu walikwambeti, ame ndelela kumwaya Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kuyibaka kayi mu masuba atatu owa.”
But finally two false witnesses having come, they said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it by three days.
62 Lino Mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse walemana ne kumwipusha Yesu. “Sena uliya cakukumbulapo pa bintu ibi mbyobalakubepeshenga aba bantu?”
And the high priest having stood up, he said to him, Answer thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?
63 Nomba Yesu nendi walamwenowa tonto. Kayi Mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse usa walambila Yesu, “Ndakwambilinga mu Lina lya Lesa muyumi, kwambeti winse kulumbila pakwamba na njobe Klistu, Mwanendi Lesa.”
But Jesus was silent. And having responded, the high priest said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou are the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Mulamba mobene, nsombi ndamwambilishingeti, ‘kufuma cino cindi nimukabone Mwana Muntu kaliwekala kucikasa calulyo ca Lesa wangofu shonse,’ Nimukamubone kesa mwilu mumakumbi.”
Jesus says to him, Thou have said. Nevertheless I say to you, Henceforth ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming in the clouds of the sky.
65 Mukulene wa beshimilumbobonse walatwamuna munganjo wakendi kulesha bukalu ne kwambeti, “Uku ni kumunyansha Lesa ‘Sena paciyandika bakamboni nabambi’ Mulalinyumfwili mobene ncalamunyansha Lesa.”
Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, He has blasphemed. What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye heard his blasphemy.
66 “Neco mulayeyengapongeconi?” Balo balakumbuleti, “Lacaniki ne mulandu, welela kushinwa!”
What does it seem to you? Having answered, they said, He is deserving of death.
67 Popelapo balatatika kumusankila mata kumenso ne kumuma mpaka, nabambi balatatika kumuma makofi,
Then they spat in his face and struck him with a fist. And some slapped him,
68 kabambeti, “Obe Klistu, Kolotela, inga lakumu niyani?”
saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ. Who is he who struck thee?
69 Petulo walakekala mulubuwa kunsa kwa ng'anda. Mutukashi musebenshi wa Mukulene wa beshimilumbo walesa kulyendiye ne kwambeti, “Ne njamwe mwalikwenda pamo ne Yesuyu waku Galileya.”
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one servant girl came to him, saying, Thou also were with Jesus the Galilean.
70 Nsombi nendi walakana pamenso abantu bonse, walambeti, “Ncolambanga ame nkandicishipo sobwe!”
But he denied before them all, saying, I do not know what thou say.
71 Petulo mpwalikupula kaya pacishinga, kayi mutukashi naumbi musebenshi walamubona, walatatika kwambila nabambi balikubapo. “Uyu muntu walikuba pamo ne Yesu waku Nasaleti.”
And when he was gone out into the porch, another woman saw him, and says to them there, This man was also with Jesus the Nazarene.
72 Petulo walakana, cakwinsa kulumbileti, “Cakubinga ame nkandimwishipo muntuyo.”
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 Mpopalapitako kacindi kang'ana, bantu balikubapo balamwambila Petulo, “Kwelana ne ntaka ya ng'ambilo yakobe tuleshibinga kwambeti ne njobe owa mulikoto ili.”
And after a little while those who stood, having approached, said to Peter, Surely thou also are of them, for thy accent even makes thee apparent.
74 Apo Petulo walensa kulumbileti, “Lesa anshingane ne kumpa cisubulo, na ndambanga bwepeshi, ame muntuyu nkandimwishipo sobwe.” Cindi copeleco kombwe walalila.
Then he began to curse vehemently and to swear, I do not know the man. And straightaway a cock sounded.
75 Petulo walanuka maswi ngalamwambila Yesu akwambeti, “Kombwe katanalila nukankane tunkanda tutatu kwambeti nkonjishipo sobwe.” Popelapo Petulo walapula kayakulila ne kushinshimuka.
And Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him, Before a cock sounds, thou will deny me thrice. And having gone outside, he wept bitterly.
