Matthew 27
1 Buna buisi bukia, bapfumu zioso zi banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba Bayuda bakutakana ayi bawizana mu tomba diluaku di bamvondila Yesu.
Now when morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him to death.
2 Bankanga minsinga, bannata ayi banyekula mu mioko mi nyadi Pilatu.
They bound him, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate the governor.
3 Yuda, mutu wuyekula Yesu bu kamona ti bazengila Yesu nkanu wu lufua, wumona phasi mu ntima; diawu wuyenda vutula makumatatu ma zimbongo zi bisengo kuidi bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi kuidi bakulutu ba Bayuda.
Then when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he repented and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Mbadi wuba kamba: —Mbeni vola masumu bila ndiekudi mutu wukambu vanga kadi kiasa. Bawu bamvutudila: —Momo masi tutala ko! Matedi kuaku!
and said, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to that yourself.”
5 Buna wusia loza zimbongo beni vana tsi, muna Nzo Nzambi, wubotuka ayi wuyenda kidengidika.
Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went out and hanged himself.
6 Bapfumu banganga Nzambi zitota zimbongo beni ayi zituba ti: —Tuisi ko minsua mu tula zimbongo ziphila yayi mu kesi yi makaba ma Nzo Nzambi bila ziawu zidi zimbongo zi menga.
The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put this into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.”
7 Buna bamana wizana, basumba tsola mu zimbongo beni muingi bazikilanga banzenza. Tsola beni yiba yi mutu wumosi wuba bumbanga zinzungu zituma.
They discussed the matter together and with the money bought the potter's field in which to bury strangers.
8 Diawu nate buabu tsola beni yintedolongo: “Tsola yi menga”.
For this reason that field has been called, “The Field of Blood” to this day.
9 Buawu bobo budedikinina mambu mabikula mbikudi Yelemi ti: Babonga makumatatu ma zimbongo zi bisengo, yawu thalu yizenga bana ba Iseli mu diambu diandi
Then that which had been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,
10 Ayi ziawu basumbila tsola yi mutu wumbumbanga zinzungu zituma banga bobo Pfumu kathumina.
and they gave it for the potter's field, as the Lord had directed me.”
11 Buna Yesu wutelama va ntuala nyadi, ayi niandi wunyuvula: —Ngeyo widi ntinu Bayuda e? Yesu wumvutudila: —Nyinga! Yidi banga bu tubidi.
Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You say so.”
12 Vayi thangu bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba Bayuda bu bayiza kumfunda, niandi kasia vutula kadi diambu ko.
But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Pilatu wunyuvula: —Wulembo wi kuaku mambu momo balembo kufundila e?
Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear all the charges against you?”
14 Vayi Yesu kadi diambu dimosi kasia vutula ko. Diawu nyadi kasiminina buwombo.
But he did not answer even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
15 Kifu kiba yawu, mu thangu nyengo, nyadi, wuba totulanga mutu wumosi wunloko, wowo wuba nlombongo kuidi batu.
Now at the feast it was the custom of the governor to release one prisoner chosen by the crowd.
16 Vayi mu thangu yina, mutu wumosi wuyenda tsangu, wuba mu nloko dizina diandi Balabasi.
At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
17 Nkangu bu wukutakana, Pilatu wuba yuvula: —A nani lutidi ndiluyekudila, Balabasi voti Yesu wuba ntedilanga Klisto e?
So when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Who do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
18 Bila wuzaba kuandi ti mu diambu di kikhenene banyekudila Yesu.
He knew that they had handed Jesus over to him because of envy.
19 Mu thangu Pilatu kavuanda va kundu ki kizuzi ku tilibinadu, nketoꞌandi wumfidisila thumu yayi: —Kadi kota mambu ma mutu wowo wu busonga bila mu builu buabu phasi mbueni, mu ndozi, mu diambu diandi!
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him and said, “Have nothing to do with that innocent man. For I have suffered much today because of a dream I had about him.”
20 Vayi bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba Bayuda beka sindisila nkangu wu batu muingi batuba ti bayekula Balabasi vayi bavonda Yesu.
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas, and have Jesus killed.
21 Buna nyadi wuba yuvula diaka: —A nani lutidi ndiluyekudila muna badi bawu buadi e? Batuba: —Balabasi!
The governor asked them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas.”
22 Pilatu wuba yuvula: —A vayi mbi phangila Yesu, wubeti tedilanga Klisto e? Bawu boso bavutula: —Wumbanda va dikulusi!
Pilate said to them, “What should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all answered, “Crucify him.”
23 Pilatu wuyuvula: —Diambu mbi dimbimbi kavengi e? Vayi baluta yamikina ngolu: —Wumbanda va dikulusi!
Then he said, “Why, what crime has he done?” But they cried out even louder, “Crucify him.”
24 Pilatu bu kamona ti kalendi buela vanga kadi diambu dimosi ko ayi divunzi ditona, wubonga nlangu; wusukula mioko va ntuala batu boso ayi wukamba: —Ndisi ko bila mu menga ma mutu wawu. Vayi beno veka matedi!
So when Pilate saw that he could not do anything, but instead a riot was starting, he took water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of the blood of this innocent man. See to it yourselves.”
25 Batu boso bavutula: —Bika menga mandi mabua va beto ayi va bana beto!
All the people said, “May his blood be on us and our children.”
26 Pilatu wubayekudila Balabasi. Bu kamana betisa Yesu bikoti, wunyekula mu mioko miawu muingi bambanda va dikulusi.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but he scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.
27 Masodi ma nyadi makotisa Yesu ku khati nzo ayi makutikisa dikabu di masodi mu kunzungidila.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the government headquarters and gathered the whole company of soldiers.
28 Bamvula minledi miandi ayi bamvuika yunga ki mbuaki.
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
29 Bavanga budu ki kipfumu ki zitsendi, bamvuika kiawu ku ntu; bansimbisa nti va koko kuandi ku lubakala, bamfukimina, bansekinina ayi batuba: —Mboti e, Ntinu wu Bayuda!
They made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and placed a staff in his right hand. They knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 Banlobudila madita bosi babonga nti, wawu baba kunzubanga ku ntu.
They spat on him, and they took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
31 Buna bamanisa kunsekinina, bamvula yunga beni; bamvuika minledi miandi bosi bannata muingi bambanda va dikulusi.
When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 Bu baba totuka, badengana mutu wumosi mu nzila, dizina diandi Simoni wuba muisi Silene, bankuika kanata dikulusi.
As they came out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to go with them so that he might carry his cross.
33 Batula ku buangu kimosi baba ntedilanga ngolongota. Tsundu Ngolongota: “Buangu ki mvesi wu ntu”,
They came to a place called Golgotha, which means “The Place of a Skull.”
34 kuna bamvanina vinu kisobakana ayi kiti ki ndudi muingi kanua. Buna kabimba, wumanga ku kinua.
They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he would not drink.
35 Buna bamana ku mbanda va dikulusi, babula tsombo mu diambu di kabana minledi miandi.
When they had crucified him, they divided up his garments by casting lots,
36 Mbadi bavuanda kuna mu kunsunga.
and they sat and kept guard over him.
37 Batula muna dikulusi tini ki dibaya vana mbata ntuꞌandi, musonama bila kioki banzengila nkanu: “Niandi niawu Yesu, ntinu wu Bayuda”.
Above his head they put the charge against him, which read “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
38 Bidovula biodi bibandu va dikulusi va kimosi ayi Yesu, wumosi ku koko ku lubakala, wunkaka ku koko ku lumoso.
Two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right of him and one on the left.
39 Batu bobo baba mviokila vana, baba kumfinga, baba nikunanga mintu
Those who passed by insulted him, shaking their heads
40 ayi baba nyoluka: —E! Ngeyo mutu wuntiolumunanga Nzo Nzambi ayi kuyitungila diaka mu bilumbu bitatu; wukivukisa ngeyo veka. Enati widi Muana Nzambi, kuluka va Dikulusi!
and saying, “You who were going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Bapfumu banganga Nzambi, minlongi mi Mina ayi bakulutu ba Bayuda mamvawu bansekinina ayi bakamba:
In the same way the chief priests were mocking him, along with the scribes and elders, and said,
42 —A! Niandi wuvukisidi batu bankaka vayi niandi veka kalendi kukivukisa ko e! Enati niandi widi ntinu Iseli, kakulumuka va dikulusi muingi tunkikinina.
“He saved others, but he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel. Let him come down off the cross, and then we will believe in him.
43 Niandi diana diandi didi mu Nzambi, bika kamvukisa buabu enati weta kunzola; bila niandi wuba ntubanga: “Ndidi Muana Nzambi.”
He trusts in God, let God rescue him now, if God consents to release him. For he even said, 'I am the Son of God.'”
44 Bidovula biobi bibandu yandi va kimosi va dikulusi mamvawu bobo baba kumfingila.
In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also spoke insults to him.
45 Tona thangu midi nate thangu yintatu mu masika, ntoto wumvimba wuba mu tombi kinkobo.
Now from the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
46 Nduka-nduka mu thangu yintatu Yesu wuyamikina mu ndinga yingolo: —Eli, Eli, Lama sabakatani e? Bu dinsundula: Nzambi ama! Nzambi ama! Bila mbi wundiekudidi e?
About the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice and said, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
47 Batu bankaka, bobo batelama vana bu bawa bobo, batuba: —Eli kantela.
When some of those who were standing there heard it, they said, “He is calling for Elijah.”
48 Wumosi mu bawu, wuzawula, wuyenda bonga eponzi, wukifulusa mu vnu kidi ngami; wukisomika va tsongi nti bosi wumvana muingi kanua.
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed staff, and gave it to him to drink.
49 Vayi bankaka bakamba: —Bika tutala kani Eli weka kuiza mvukisa.
The rest of them said, “Leave him alone. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
50 Yesu wubuela yamikina diaka mu ndinga yingolo; buna wuzenga vumunu.
Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
51 Muna thangu beni kaka lido yi Nzo Nzambi yikanzuka mu ndambu zizole tona kuna yilu nate ku tsi. Ntoto wunikuka, matadi mabasuka,
Behold, the curtain of the temple was split in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth shook, and the rocks split apart.
52 biziami bizibuka, batu banlongo bawombo bafua bafuluka.
The tombs were opened, and the bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
53 Batotuka mu biziami. Yesu bu kafuluka buna bakota mu divula dinlongo. Batu bawombo baba mona kuna.
They came out of the tombs after his resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.
54 Pfumu yi masodi ma Loma ayi momo maba yandi mu sunga Yesu bu bamona phila ntoto wunikukina ayi mambu moso momo phila mavangimina, bamona boma yiwombo ayi batuba: —Bukiedika kuandi ti mutu wowo bedi Muana Nzambi!
Now when the centurion and those who were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they became very afraid and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”
55 Baketo bawombo baba vana, thama baba ntadila. Bawu baba nlandakananga Yesu tona ku Ngalili mu diambu bansadila.
Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for him were there looking on from a distance.
56 Mu bawu muba: Maliya muisi Mangadala, Maliya ngudi yi Zaki ayi Zozefi ayi ngudi yi bana ba Zebede.
Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Va thangu masika, mutu wumosi wu kimvuama, muisi Alimate, dizina diandi Zozefi, wuba nlonguki wu Yesu,
When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.
58 wuyenda lomba nitu yi Yesu kuidi Pilatu. Buna Pilatu wuvana minsua muingi bamvana yawu.
He approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 Zozefi wubonga nitu, wuyizinga mu dilasola di lino yi vedila.
Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 Wuyitula mu dibumbi diandi dimona, disokolo mu ditadi. Wunengumuna ditadi dimosi dinneni va muelo wu dibumbi. Bosi wuyenda kuandi.
and laid it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb and went away.
61 Maliya muisi Mangadala ayi Maliya mankaka baba bavuanda ku ndambu yinkaka yitalini ayi dibumbi.
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Lumbu ki khubumunu bu kivioka, mu lumbu kilanda, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bayenda kuidi Pilatu.
The next day, which was the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together with Pilate.
63 Bankamba: —A pfumu! Tulembo tebuka moyo ti mutu wowo wu luvunu bu kabedi moyo wubedi tubanga ti: “Ndiela fuluka bilumbu bitatu bu biela vioka:”
They said, “Sir, we remember that when that deceiver was alive, he said, 'After three days will I rise again.'
64 Diawu bulutidi mboti wuvana minsua basunga dibumbi nate bilumbu bitatu bivioka muingi minlonguki miandi mibika kuenda yibi nitu andi bila nganu miela kamba batu ti wufulukidi mu bafua. Buna luvunu beni luela viatuka tezo ayi viokila lolo lutheti mu mbimbi.
Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, otherwise his disciples may come and steal him and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilatu wuba vutudila: —Bonganu masodi, yendanu, lusunga ziami boso bu luzodidi.
Pilate said to them, “Take a guard. Go and make it as secure as you can.”
66 Bayenda, bazibika bumboti dibumbi mu tula dimbu mu ditadi, ayi babika masodi.
So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and placing the guard.
