Mateo 26
1 Yesu wiee nsɛm yi nyinaa ka no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se,
AND it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
2 “Sɛnea munim no aka nnaanu na Twam Afahyɛ no adu, na wobeyi Onipa Ba no ama, na wɔabɔ no asennua mu.”
Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Saa bere no ara na asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin bi ahyia mu wɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin Kaiafa fi,
Then were the chief priests and scribes, and the elders of the people gathered together in the palace of the high-priest, called Caiaphas.
4 retu agyina ahwehwɛ ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so akyere Yesu, akum no a obiara renhu akyi.
And they consulted together, how they might seize Jesus by guile, and put him to death.
5 Nanso wɔkae se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkyere no Twam Afahyɛ no mu, anyɛ saa a, ɛde basabasayɛ bɛba ɔman no mu.”
But they said, Not on the feast-day, lest there be a tumult among the people.
6 Afei Yesu kɔɔ Betania na ɔkɔɔ Simon ɔkwatani fi.
Now when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 Ɔwɔ hɔ redidi no, ɔbea bi a okura ngo huamhuam bi a ne bo yɛ den yiye toa ma baa hɔ, behwie guu Yesu tirim.
there came to him a woman having an alabaster-box of very precious aromatic ointment, and poured it upon his head as he sat at table.
8 Asuafo no hui no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ. Wɔkae se, “Adesɛe yi ase ne dɛn?
But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, For what end is this waste?
9 Anka wobetumi atɔn srade huamhuam yi anya sika bebree de ama ahiafo.”
For this ointment might have been sold for a considerable sum, and given to the poor.
10 Yesu huu wɔn adwene na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Adɛn na mohaw ɔbea yi? Wayɛ ade pa ama me.
Then Jesus knowing it, said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath performed a good act upon me:
11 Mo ne ahiafo wɔ ha daa na me de, me ne mo nni hɔ daa.
for the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always:
12 Wahwie ngo huamhuam yi agu me so de asiesie me nipadua ama me sie.
for in pouring this odoriferous ointment on my body, she hath done it for my burial.
13 Nokware, mise mo sɛ, wɔbɛka nea ɔyɛe yi wɔ wiase baabiara a wɔka asɛmpa no de akae no.”
Verily I say unto you, Wherever this Gospel is preached through the whole world, what she hath done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.
14 Afei Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafo dumien no mu baako kɔɔ asɔfo mpanyin no nkyɛn
Then went one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,
15 kobisaa wɔn se, “Sɛ miyi Yesu ma mo a, ahe na mode bɛma me?” Wɔmaa no dwetɛ mpɔw aduasa.
and said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? Then they placed before him thirty pieces of silver.
16 Efi saa bere no, Yuda hwehwɛɛ ɔkwan a ɔbɛfa so ayi no ama wɔn.
And from that time he sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them.
17 Apiti Afahyɛ da a edi kan no, asuafo no baa Yesu nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Ɛhe na wopɛ sɛ yekodi Twam Afahyɛ no?”
Then on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 Obuaa wɔn se, “Monkɔ kurow no mu nkohu ɔpanyin asiamasi nka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Kyerɛkyerɛfo no se, Me bere abɛn, na wo fi na me ne nʼasuafo no bedi Twam Afahyɛ no.’”
And he said, Go into the city, unto such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the passover with my disciples at thy house.
19 Asuafo no dii nea ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn no so, yɛɛ Twam Afahyɛ aduan no.
And his disciples did as Jesus commanded them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Anwummere no na ɔne Dumien no te adidii.
And when the evening was come, he sat down at table with the twelve.
21 Wɔredidi no ɔkae se, “Mereka mo nokware, mo mu baako beyi me ama.”
And as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Asɛm yi maa wɔn werɛ howee yiye, na wofii ase bisabisaa mmaako mmaako se, “Awurade, ɛyɛ me ana?”
And exceedingly grieved, they began to say to him every one of them, Lord, am I the person?
23 Yesu buae se, “Nea ɔne me nsa da asanka baako mu no, ɔno na obeyi me ama.
But he answering said, He that dippeth his hand with me into the dish, that man shall betray me.
24 Onipa Ba no rekɔ sɛnea wɔakyerɛw afa ne ho de, nanso onipa a obeyi no ama no, nnue! Sɛ wɔanwo saa onipa no mpo a, anka eye.”
The Son of man indeed is departing, as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed! well had it been for that man if he had never had a being.
25 Yuda a obeyi no ama nso bisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ɛyɛ me ana?” Yesu buaa no se, “Woaka.”
Then Judas, who betrayed him, addressing him said, Master, is it I? He saith to him, Thou hast named the person.
26 Bere a wɔredidi no. Yesu faa brodo, na ohyiraa so bubuu mu, de maa nʼasuafo no kae se: “Munnye nni, eyi ne me nipadua.”
Then as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessing, brake, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
27 Na ɔfaa kuruwa no, na ɔdaa ase no, ɔde maa wɔn kae se, “Mo nyinaa monnom bi,
And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this:
28 na eyi ne me mogya a ɛhyɛ Apam Foforo no mu den, a wohwie gu ma nnipa bebree nya bɔnefakyɛ.
for this is my blood, that blood of the new testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins.
29 Mise mo sɛ, merennom saa nsa yi bi bio da, de bɛkɔ akosi da a me ne mo bɛnom bi bio wɔ mʼAgya Ahenni no mu.”
And I tell you, That I will no more henceforth drink of this produce of the vine, until that day when I drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.
30 Na wɔtoo dwom wiee no, wofii adi kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
31 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Anadwo yi, mo nyinaa beguan agya me. Na wɔakyerɛw se, “‘wɔbɛbɔ oguanhwɛfo no, na nguankuw no abɔ apete.’
Then saith Jesus unto them, Ye all will be offended at me this night: for it is written, “I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.”
32 Na sɛ miwu sɔre a, medi mo kan akɔ Galilea.”
But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Petro buae se, “Sɛ nnipa nyinaa beguan agya wo a, me de, merenguan nnya wo da.”
Then Peter, taking up the word, said to him, Though all should be offended at thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Yesu buae se, “Nokware mise wo sɛ, ansa na akokɔ bɛbɔn no, na woapa me mprɛnsa!”
Jesus saith to him, I tell thee of a certainty, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Petro pae mu kae se, “Mpo sɛ etwa sɛ me ne wo wu a, merempa wo da!” Asuafo no nyinaa nso kaa saa asɛm koro yi ara.
Peter said to him, Though I should die with thee, never will I deny thee. In like manner also said all the disciples.
36 Yesu de wɔn kɔɔ baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Getsemane. Woduu hɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Montena ha na merekɔ hɔ akɔbɔ mpae.”
Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 Ɔfaa Petro ne Sebedeo mma baanu no kaa ne ho, na ne werɛ fii ase howee, na ne ho nso yeraw no.
And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be deeply sorrowful, and to be overwhelmed with dejection.
38 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awerɛhow ahyɛ me kra so de kɔ owu mu. Montena ha na mo ne me nwɛn.”
Then saith he to them. My soul is exceeding sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch with me.
39 Na ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra, de nʼanim kobutuw fam bɔɔ mpae se, “MʼAgya, sɛ ebetumi a, ma wonyi kuruwa yi mfi me so. Nanso nea wopɛ na ɛnyɛ na ɛnyɛ nea mepɛ.”
And going a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 Na ɔsan baa asuafo baasa no nkyɛn behuu sɛ wɔadeda. Ɔfrɛɛ Petro bisaa no se, “Petro, woantumi antena ase ne me anwɛn dɔnhwerew baako pɛ mpo?
And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, Is it so, that ye have not strength to watch with me one hour?
41 Monwɛn na mommɔ mpae, na moankɔ sɔhwɛ mu. Honhom no pɛ de, nanso ɔhonam no yɛ mmerɛw!”
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
42 Ɔsan gyaw wɔn hɔ nea ɛto so abien kɔbɔɔ mpae se, “MʼAgya, sɛ wɔrenyi kuruwa yi mfi me so, na nom ara na ɛsɛ sɛ menom a, nea wopɛ nyɛ.”
Again the second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, If it be not possible, that this cup pass from me, but that I should drink it, thy will be done.
43 Ɔsan baa wɔn nkyɛn bio behuu wɔn sɛ wɔadeda efisɛ na wɔn ani kum yiye.
And coming, he found them asleep again, for their eyes were weighed down.
44 Ɔsan kɔɔ mpaebɔ a ɛto so abiɛsa so kɔbɔɔ mpae kaa asɛm koro no ara.
And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed the third time, repeating the same sentence.
45 Ɔsan baa asuafo no nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Afei de, monna na monhome. Nanso dɔn no adu. Wɔrebeyi Onipa Ba no ahyɛ nnebɔneyɛfo nsa!
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Do ye still sleep on, and repose yourselves? lo! the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Monsɔre na yɛnkɔ! Monhwɛ! Nea ɔreyi me ama no na ɔreba no!”
Arise, let us go: lo! he that betrayeth me approaches.
47 Ogu so rekasa no, Yuda a ɔyɛ asuafo dumien no mu baako ne dɔm a Yudafo mpanyin asoma wɔn a wokurakura afoa ne nkontimmaa baa hɔ.
And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Na Yuda aka akyerɛ wɔn se, “Nea mefew nʼafono no ne onipa no; mokyere no”
Now he that betrayed him had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: seize him.
49 Yuda baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛbam no kae se, “Me wura!” Na ofew nʼafono.
And immediately approaching to Jesus, he said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Damfo, nea wobaa ha se worebɛyɛ no, yɛ no ntɛm.” Ɛhɔ ara, wɔn a wɔne Yuda nam no kyeree Yesu.
Then spake Jesus to him, Friend, for what purpose art thou here? Then approaching they laid hands on Jesus, and seized him.
51 Wɔn a wɔka Yesu ho no mu baako twee nʼafoa de twaa Ɔsɔfopanyin no akoa bi aso.
And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking at a servant of the high-priest, cut off his ear.
52 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wʼafoa no to nea ɛda. Na wɔn a wɔtwe afoa no, afoa ano na wobewu.
Then saith Jesus unto him, Return thy sword into its sheath: for all who take the sword, shall perish by the sword.
53 Munnim sɛ metumi aka akyerɛ mʼAgya na wasoma nʼabɔfo mpempem aba ntɛm so, na wɔabɛbɔ yɛn ho ban?
Thinkest thou, that I cannot now entreat my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Nanso sɛ meyɛ saa a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na nea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se ɛsɛ sɛ esi wɔ eyi ho no bɛba mu?”
But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 Bere no mu ara na Yesu bisaa dɔm a wɔbaa ne so no se, “Midi atuatewfo anim nti na mode afoa ne nkontimmaa aba me so sɛ mode rebɛkyere me yi? Metenaa mo nkyɛn kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ hyiadan mu da biara, nso moansiw me kwan.
In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid not hold upon me.
56 Nanso eyi nyinaa aba sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nea adiyifo no kae wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm mu no bɛba mu.” Saa bere no ara mu na asuafo no nyinaa guan gyaa no.
But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets should be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 Afei dɔm a wɔkyeree Yesu no de no kɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin Kaiafa anim, baabi a mmarakyerɛfo ne Yudafo mpanyin nyinaa ahyia hɔ.
Then they who had apprehended Jesus, brought him to Caiaphas the high-priest, where the scribes and elders were assembled.
58 Petro tew ne ho dii nnipadɔm no akyi baa Ɔsɔfopanyin no fi hɔ bi. Ɔkɔtenaa asomfo a wɔwɔ hɔ no mu se ɔrehwɛ asɛm a ebesi.
But Peter followed him at a great distance unto the palace of the high-priest, and entering in, sat down with the servants, to see the issue.
59 Asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo asennifo akunini nyinaa hyiaa wɔ hɔ hwehwɛɛ sɛ wobenya nnansefo bi a wobedi adansekurum ato Yesu so, na wɔagyina so abu no kumfɔ.
Now the chief priests and elders and the whole sanhedrim, sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
60 Nnipa bebree bedii adanse, nanso wohuu sɛ wɔredi adansekurumu, efisɛ na wɔn nsɛm a wɔka no nyinaa bɔ abira. Akyiri no, nnipa baanu bi ba bɛkae
and found none: and though many false witnesses came, they found it not sufficient. But at the last two false witnesses stepping forth,
61 se, “Saa onipa yi kae se, ‘Metumi abubu Onyankopɔn asɔredan na masi no nnansa!’”
said, This fellow said, I am able to pull down the temple of God, and to build it up in three days.
62 Ɔsɔfopanyin no sɔre bisaa Yesu se, “Dɛn na wowɔ ka? Wokaa saa anaasɛ woanka saa?”
And the high-priest rising up, said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these men witness against thee?
63 Nanso Yesu ammua no. Ɔsɔfopanyin no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Meka Onyankopɔn teasefo no sɛ, sɛ wone Agyenkwa no, Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka kyerɛ yɛn!”
But Jesus was silent. And the high-priest addressing him, said, I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art the Messiah, the Son of God.
64 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yiw, woaka. Na mereka kyerɛ mo nyinaa: Efi nnɛ mubehu Onipa Ba no sɛ mete Onyankopɔn nifa na ɔnam omununkum mu resan aba.”
Jesus saith to him, Thou hast spoken the fact. Moreover I tell you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 Ɔsɔfopanyin no sunsuan nʼatade mu teɛɛ mu se, “Abususɛm! Nnansefo bɛn na wɔn ho hia yɛn bio? Mo nyinaa ate abususɛm a ɔkae no!
Then the high-priest rent his garments, saying, he hath blasphemed: what farther need have we of witnesses? lo! now ye have heard his blasphemy:
66 Asɛm bɛn na mowɔ ka?” Wɔn nyinaa teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔsɛ owu!”
what think ye? They answered and said, He is deserving of death.
67 Afei wɔtee ntasu guu nʼani so. Ebinom bobɔɔ no akuturuku na ebinom nso bobɔɔ no asotɔre
Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him about; and some slapt his face with their hands,
68 kae se, “Wone Agyenkwa no! Kyerɛ yɛn nea ɔbɔɔ wo?”
saying, Prophesy to us, you Messiah, who it is that struck thee!
69 Saa bere no na Petro te adiwo. Abaawa bi baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo nso, na wo ne Yesu na ɛnam. Mo nyinaa mufi Galilea.”
Now Peter sat without in the hall: and there came to him a single maid-servant, saying, Thou also wert with Jesus of Galilee.
70 Nanso Petro san se, “Minnim nea woreka yi ho hwee.”
But he denied it before them all, asserting, I know not what thou art saying.
71 Akyiri no, abaawa foforo bi hyiaa no wɔ ɔpon bi ano ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a ɔne wɔn gyina hɔ no se, “Na saa ɔbarima yi ne Yesu Nasareni no na ɛnam.”
Then as he was going out at the gate, another maid-servant saw him, and saith to those who were there, This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 Petro de ntam san bio se, “Minnim saa onipa a moreka ne ho asɛm no.”
Then again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
73 Ɛkyɛe kakra no, mmarima a wogyina hɔ no bi bɛka kyerɛɛ Petro se, “Yenim sɛ woyɛ nʼasuafo no mu baako, na wo kasa nso da wo adi sɛ woyɛ Galileani.”
But after a little while they who stood by, came up and said to Peter, Assuredly thou also art one of them: for even thy speech maketh thee manifest.
74 Petro fii ase dii nsew, kekaa ntam se, “Minnim onipa no!” Amono mu hɔ ara na akokɔ bɔnee.
Then began he to utter the bitterest curses, and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 Ɛhɔ na Petro kaee asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Akokɔ remmɔn na woapa me mprɛnsa” no. Na ofii adi kosui.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said unto him, Before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And going out, he wept bitterly.
