Mateo 26
1 Yesu wiee nsɛm yi nyinaa ka no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se,
And it came to pass, 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 assembled the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 retu agyina ahwehwɛ ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so akyere Yesu, akum no a obiara renhu akyi.
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill [him].
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 an uproar among the people.
6 Afei Yesu kɔɔ Betania na ɔkɔɔ Simon ɔkwatani fi.
Now when Jesus was in 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 ointment, and poured it on his head as he sat [at table].
8 Asuafo no hui no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ. Wɔkae se, “Adesɛe yi ase ne dɛn?
But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation, saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?
9 Anka wobetumi atɔn srade huamhuam yi anya sika bebree de ama ahiafo.”
For this ointment might have been sold for much, 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.
When Jesus understood [it], he said to them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 Mo ne ahiafo wɔ ha daa na me de, me ne mo nni hɔ daa.
For ye have the poor 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 that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did [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 to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, [there] shall also this, which this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 Afei Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafo dumien no mu baako kɔɔ asɔfo mpanyin no nkyɛn
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went 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 to you? And they covenanted with him for 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 opportunity to betray him.
17 Apiti Afahyɛ da a edi kan no, asuafo no baa Yesu nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Ɛhe na wopɛ sɛ yekodi Twam Afahyɛ no?”
Now the first [day] of the [feast 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 to such a man, and say to him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 Asuafo no dii nea ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn no so, yɛɛ Twam Afahyɛ aduan no.
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Anwummere no na ɔne Dumien no te adidii.
Now when the evening was come, he sat down 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 to you, that one of you will betray me.
22 Asɛm yi maa wɔn werɛ howee yiye, na wofii ase bisabisaa mmaako mmaako se, “Awurade, ɛyɛ me ana?”
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Lord, is it I?
23 Yesu buae se, “Nea ɔne me nsa da asanka baako mu no, ɔno na obeyi me ama.
And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand with me in the dish, the same will 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 goeth, as it is written concerning him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man, if he had not been born.
25 Yuda a obeyi no ama nso bisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ɛyɛ me ana?” Yesu buaa no se, “Woaka.”
Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, Thou hast said.
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.”
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and broke [it], 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 he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
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 of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sin.
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.”
But I say to you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 Na wɔtoo dwom wiee no, wofii adi kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so.
And when they had sung a 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 to them, All ye shall be offended because of 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 again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Petro buae se, “Sɛ nnipa nyinaa beguan agya wo a, me de, merenguan nnya wo da.”
Peter answered and said to him, Though all [men] shall be offended because of 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 said to him, Verily I say to thee, that this night, before the cock shall crow, thou wilt 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, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise 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 the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
37 Ɔfaa Petro ne Sebedeo mma baanu no kaa ne ho, na ne werɛ fii ase howee, na ne ho nso yeraw no.
And he took with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
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: tarry ye 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 he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it is 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 asleep, and saith to Peter, What, could ye not 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 [is] 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.”
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 Ɔsan baa wɔn nkyɛn bio behuu wɔn sɛ wɔadeda efisɛ na wɔn ani kum yiye.
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 Ɔsan kɔɔ mpaebɔ a ɛto so abiɛsa so kɔbɔɔ mpae kaa asɛm koro no ara.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
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 he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them, Sleep on now, and take [your] rest: behold, 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!”
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
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, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staffs, 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, gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast.
49 Yuda baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛbam no kae se, “Me wura!” Na ofew nʼafono.
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and 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.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, Why art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Wɔn a wɔka Yesu ho no mu baako twee nʼafoa de twaa Ɔsɔfopanyin no akoa bi aso.
And behold, one of them, who were with Jesus, stretched out [his] hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote 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 said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that 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 pray to my Father, and he will presently 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 shall 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 same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staffs to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on 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 was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might 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.
And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the 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 distance, to the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.
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 all the council, sought false testimony against Jesus, to 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
But found none: and, though many false witnesses came, [yet] found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 se, “Saa onipa yi kae se, ‘Metumi abubu Onyankopɔn asɔredan na masi no nnansa!’”
And said, This [man] said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 Ɔsɔfopanyin no sɔre bisaa Yesu se, “Dɛn na wowɔ ka? Wokaa saa anaasɛ woanka saa?”
And the high priest arose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing, what [is it which] these testify 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 held his peace. And the high priest answered and said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ 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 said: nevertheless I say to you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on 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 clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, 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 guilty 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 buffetted him; and others smote [him] with the palms of their hands,
68 kae se, “Wone Agyenkwa no! Kyerɛ yɛn nea ɔbɔɔ wo?”
Saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote 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 palace: and a damsel came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70 Nanso Petro san se, “Minnim nea woreka yi ho hwee.”
But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
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.”
And when he had gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and said to them that were there, This [man] was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 Petro de ntam san bio se, “Minnim saa onipa a moreka ne ho asɛm no.”
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know 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.”
And after a while came to [him] they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee.
74 Petro fii ase dii nsew, kekaa ntam se, “Minnim onipa no!” Amono mu hɔ ara na akokɔ bɔnee.
Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not the man. And immediately the cock crowed.
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 said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
