Mateyo 27
1 Mpobwalaca mumene, beshimilumbo bonse, ne bamakulene Baciyuda balapangana kayi sha kumushina Yesu.
Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2 Balamusunga ne kumutwala kuli Pilato Mwendeleshi wa Ciloma.
They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Yuda, usa walaulisha Yesu mpwalaboneti mulandu ulaba wakumushina Yesu, walalisenda mwine, neco walababweshela bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, mali asa akwana makumi atatu a silifa.
Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Walambeti, “Ndepisha kulisha muntu wabula mulandu kwambeti ayafwe.” Nomba balo balambeti, “Ulayandanga twinseconi? Awo nimakani akobe omwine.”
saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
5 Yuda walamanta mali ne kuya kwawala mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, kufumapo wakalisungilila.
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 Basa bamakulene beshimilumbo balabwesa mali, ne kwambeti, “Milawo yetu nkayasuminisha kwabika mali awa mu kabokoshi nkotukute kubikamo mali muno mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, pakwinga ni mali amilopa.”
The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
7 Neco balapanganeti mali awa baule libala lya mubumbi wanongo, kwambeti kube kunamaumbwe abensu.
They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
8 Ecebo cakendi libala ilyo mpaka lelo likute kukwiweti libala lya milopa.
Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
9 Neco, kwalikuba kukwanilisha calamba mushinshimi Yelemiya uyo walambeti, “balamanta asa mali makumi atatu amukuba, mulo bana Baislayeli ngobalapangana palyendiye
Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
10 balaula libala lya mubumbi wanongo, mbuli Lesa ncalang'ambila.”
and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
11 Lino Yesu walemana pamenso pa Pilato Mwendeleshi, uyo walamwipusheti, “Sena njobe Mwami wa Bayuda?” Yesu walakumbuleti, “Mulamba mobene.”
Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”
12 Nomba mpobali kumubepesha bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, Yesu nkali kubakumbulapo sobwe.
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Pilato mpwalaboneco, walamwipusha Yesu, “Sena nkolabinyumfunga mbyobala kubepeshenga?”
Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
14 Yesu uliya kumukumbula. Neco Pilato walakankamana kwine.
He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
15 Pacindi cakusekelela Pasika, Mwendeleshi Pilato, walikukute cinga cakusungulula kaili umo, uyo bantu ngobalayandanga.
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
16 Kwalikuba kaili umo pacindico wayampuyo, walikuwiweti Balaba.
They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Mpobalabungana, Pilato walabepusheti, “Inga mulayandanga upeyo ngoti nsungulule, ‘Balaba,’ Nambi Yesu, lakwiwangeti Klistu?”
When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
18 Walambeco pakwinga walikwinshiba kwambeti, bantu balamuleta Yesu kulyendiye cebo ca minyono yabo.
For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19 Pilato kacili wekala pa cipuna cakomboloshela milandu, mukashendi walamutumina maswi, walambeti, “Kamutengililapo pankani ya muntuyo walulama, ame lelo mashiku ndapenge ne maloto pacebo ca muntuyo.”
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
20 Bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balatatika kuyungaula bantu kwambeti, basenge Pilato asungulule Balaba, ne kwambeti Yesu afwe.
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
21 Lino Pilato walabepusheti, “Pa bantu babili aba mulayandanga ndimusungulwilepo upeyo?” Balo balambeti, “Balaba!”
But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
22 Kayi Pilato walabepusheti, “Inga lino uyu Yesu, lakwiwangeti, Klistu ndimwinseconi?” Bantu bonse balambeti, “Mupopeni!”
Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
23 Kayi Pilato, walabepusheti, “Inga ukute mulandu cini?” Bantu basa balapitilisha kubilikisheti, “Mupopeni!”
But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
24 Lino Pilato mpwalaboneti bantu ngabatatika mipyopyongano, na upitilisha kwambapo, walamanta menshi, walasamba kumakasa pamenso pabantu bonse. Walambeti, “Ame ndiya mulandu wa lufu lwa muntuyu. Mulandu niwenu mobene.”
So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”
25 Basa bantu bonse pamo balambeti, “Mulandu walufulo ube pamitwi yetu ne ya bana betu.”
All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
26 Popelapo Pilato walabasungulwila Balaba, ne kumukwapula Yesu, panyuma pakendi balamutwala kuya kumupopa palusanda.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Popelapo bashilikali ba Mwendeleshi Pilato, balamumanta Yesu, nekuya nendi mulubuwa lwang'anda ya Pilato. Umo mobalabunganya bashilikali banabo ne kumushunguluka Yesu.
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28 Balamufulula byakufwala byakendi, ne kumufwalika mwinjila ufubeluka.
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
29 Balapomba munshini wamyunga ne kumufwalika kumutwi, kayi balamwikatisha nkoli ya litete kucikasa cakululyo, balatatika kumusuntamina kwakumuwela, ne kumufukanya mwalisongwe, kabambeti, “Mitende Mwami wa Bayuda.”
They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 Balamusankila mata, balamanta nkoli yalitete ne kumuma nayo mu mutwi.
They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 Mpobalacileka kumufukanya mwalisongwe, balamufulula mwinjila ufubeluka usa, ne kumufwalika mwinjila wakendi. Panyuma pakendi balamumanta kuya kumupopa.
When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 Cindi ncobalikufuma mu munshi umo, balakumanya muntu, lina lyakendi, Shimoni waku Kulene. Bashilikali balamukakatisha kunyamuna lusanda lwa Yesu.
As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
33 Balashika pamusena walikukwiweti, Gologota, ekwambeti musena wacifupa camutwi.
When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
34 Uko nkobalamupa Yesu, waini wasankanishiwako ne ntulukishi, kwambeti anwe. Nomba mpwalasupitamo, walakana kunwa.
they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35 Yesu mpobalamupopa pa lusanda, balauma nsolo kwambeti baboneti nibani beti bayabane byakufwala byakendi,
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,
36 Panyuma pakendi balekala panshi kabamupembelela.
and they sat and watched him there.
37 Pelu pamutwi wakendi Yesu, balalembapo mulandu ngobalamushinina, balalembeti, “Uyu e Yesu Mwami wa Bayuda.”
They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 Kayi kopeloko kwalikuba kwapopwa kapondo babili, umo kucikasa ca kululyo, naumbi kucikasa ca kucipiko.
Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39 Nomba bantu balikupita pepi bali kumutukana, kabapukumuna mitwi yabo,
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
40 kabambeti, “Sena obe ntobe walikwambeti, ‘Ni nkamwaye Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kuyibaka pamasuba atatu’ Na cakubinga njobe Mwanendi Lesa, kolipulusha ufumepo pa lusandapo.”
and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Nabo bamakulene beshimilumbo pamo ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balikumuseka kabambeti,
Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
42 Walikupulusha bantu bambi, nsombi lalilwanga kulipulusha mwine, sena nte Mwami wa Baislayeli? Kaselukapo pa lusandapo kwambeti afwe tumushome.
“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 Walikuba wacinka manungo muli Lesa, kamupulushani Lesa uyo na umusuni nte walikambeti, “Njame Mwanendi Lesa!”
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44 Nabo kapondo babili basa balikuba bapopwa pamo ne Yesu balikumutukana.
The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
45 Kufuma cindi ca muma 12 koloko mpaka 3 koloko munshi palaba mushinshe pacishi conse.
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 Cindi camuma 3 koloko munshi, Yesu walabilikisheti, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama sabakatani?” Uku ekwambeti, “Lesa wakame, Lesa wakame, mulanshili cani ndenka!”
About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
47 Nabambi balikuba bemana pepi mpobalanyumfwa maswi awo balambeti, “Muntuyu lakunga Eliya.”
Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
48 Popelapo naumbi walafwamba kuya kumanta cisambo, walacisabika mu waini wasasa, ne kucibika ku kalutele ne kumupa kwambeti anwe.
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
49 Nsombi nabambi balambeti, “Koleka nanshi, tubone na Eliya nese amupulushe!”
The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
50 Yesu walakuluma cangofu, popelapo walataya moyo.
Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 Lino kamubonani, cisa cikwisa calikuba mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, calatwamuka pakati kufumina pelu mpaka panshi. Kwalaba mukunkumo, ne mabwe alapasauka.
Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52 Manda alacaluka ne mibili yabantu ba Lesa bangi bona mu manda balapundushiwa.
The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53 Mpolabapula mu manda, Panyuma pa kupunduka kwa Yesu, balaya kwingila mu Yelusalemu Mushi Waswepa. Ne kuboneka ku bantu bangi.
and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 Abo balikuba ne mushilikali mukulene kabapembelela Yesu, mpobalabona mukunkumo ne bintu nabimbi byalenshika, balaba ne buyowa bunene, balambeti, “Cakubinga muntuyu wanga Mwanendi Lesa.”
Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
55 Palikuba batukashi bangi balikuba bemana capataliko balikwebelela. Aba ebalamukonkela Yesu kufuma ku Galileya, kabamunyamfwilisha.
Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
56 Pakati pabatukashi aba palikuba Maliya waku Magadala, Maliya banyina Jemusi ne Yosefe, ne mukashendi Sebedayo.
Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Cindi camansailo pamuntu ngulya, kwalashika Yosefe waku Alimateya, walikuba mubile, neye walikuba shikwiya wa Yesu.
When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.
58 Walaya kusenga mubili wa Yesu kuli Pilato, nendi Pilato walasuminisheti, Yosefe apewe uwo mubili.
This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 Neco Yosefe walamanta mubili ne kufungaila mucikwisa caswepa calinolino cituba,
Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
60 ne kuya kubika mu manda ngwalalibesela calinolino mulibwe ne kunkulushilapo cilibwe pacishinga camanda ne kufumako.
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
61 Maliya waku Magadala, ne Maliya naumbi usa balikuba bekala panshi kabali balangila kumanda.
Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Mpobwalaca mumene pa Sabata, bamakulene beshimilumbo, pamo ne Bafalisi balakabungana kuli Pilato
Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
63 ne kumwambileti, “Nkambo, twanuka kwambeti kacili muyumi muntu mubepeshi usa, walikwambeti, ‘Pakapita masuba atatu ninkapundushiwe.’
saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64 Neco, kamubambilani bamalonda benga bapembelele pamanda kwa masuba atatu, kutineti kabatesa bamwibe beshikwiya bakendi, ne kutatika kwambila bantu, eti lapundushiwa kubafu. Pakwinga kubepa uku ngakukonempa kupita kubepa kusa kwakutanguna.”
Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 Nendi Pilato walabambileti, “Nenjamwe mukute bamalonda, mucinshi ncomwelela kwinsa, kamuyani mupembelele pamandapo.”
Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
66 Balaya, balashinkashinka pamanda ne kushapo cishibisho pacilibweco. Ne kushiyapo bamalonda babo.
So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
