< Matthew 27 >
1 Ní òwúrọ̀, gbogbo àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tún padà láti gbìmọ̀ bí wọn yóò ti ṣe pa Jesu.
And when the morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, how they might put him to death.
2 Lẹ́yìn èyí, wọ́n fi ẹ̀wọ̀n dè é, wọ́n sì jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ fún Pilatu tí i ṣe gómìnà.
After they had bound him, they led him away, and handed him over to Pilate, the Roman Governor.
3 Nígbà tí Judasi, ẹni tí ó fi í hàn, rí i wí pé a ti dá a lẹ́bi ikú, ó yí ọkàn rẹ̀ padà, ó sì káàánú nípa ohun tí ó ṣe. Ó sì mú ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà tí ó gba náà wá fún àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù.
Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
4 Ó wí pé, “Mo ti ṣẹ̀ nítorí tí mo ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀.” Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pẹ̀lú ìbínú pé, “Èyí kò kàn wá! Wàhálà tìrẹ ni!”
"I have sinned," he said, "in betraying innocent blood!" "What is that to us?" they answered; "you must see to that."
5 Nígbà náà ni Judasi da owó náà sílẹ̀ nínú tẹmpili. Ó jáde, ó sì lọ pokùnso.
And flinging down the silver into the Sanctuary, he rushed out, and went and hanged himself.
6 Àwọn olórí àlùfáà sì mú owó náà. Wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa kò lè fi owó yìí sínú owó ìkójọpọ̀. Ní ìwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó lòdì sí òfin wa nítorí pé owó ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni.”
The chief priests took the money, and said, "It would be wrong to put it into the temple-treasury, because it is the price of blood."
7 Wọ́n sì gbìmọ̀, wọ́n sì fi ra ilẹ̀ amọ̀kòkò, láti máa sin òkú àwọn àjèjì nínú rẹ̀.
So after the consultation they bought the Potter’s Field with it, for a burial-place for strangers.
8 Ìdí nìyìí tí à ń pe ibi ìsìnkú náà ní “Ilẹ̀ Ẹ̀jẹ̀” títí di òní.
That is the reason why, to this day, the field is called "The Field of Blood."
9 Èyí sì jẹ́ ìmúṣẹ èyí tí a ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ láti ẹnu wòlíì Jeremiah wí pé, “Wọ́n sì mú ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà tí àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli díye lé e.
Then was fulfilled the word spoken by the prophet Jeremiah. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who had been priced, whom certain of the Children of Israel had priced;
10 Wọ́n sì fi ra ilẹ̀ kan lọ́wọ́ àwọn amọ̀kòkò gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ.”
and gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord had appointed me.
11 Nígbà náà ni Jesu dúró níwájú baálẹ̀ láti gba ìdájọ́. Baálẹ̀ sì béèrè pé, “Ṣe ìwọ ni ọba àwọn Júù?” Jesu dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, nítorí tí ìwọ wí i.”
Now Jesus stood before the Governor, and the Governor questioned him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù fi gbogbo ẹ̀sùn wọn kàn án, Jesu kò dáhùn kan.
"it is as you say," answered Jesus; but while he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Nígbà náà ni Pilatu, béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jesu pé, “Àbí ìwọ kò gbọ́ ẹ̀rí tí wọn ń wí nípa rẹ ni?”
Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear what they are testifying against you?"
14 Jesu kò sì tún dáhùn kan. Èyí sì ya baálẹ̀ lẹ́nu.
But he made no answer, not even to one charge; insomuch that the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 Ó jẹ́ àṣà gómìnà láti dá ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n Júù sílẹ̀ lọ́dọọdún, ní àsìkò àjọ̀dún ìrékọjá. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí àwọn ènìyàn bá ti fẹ́ ni.
Now it was the Governor’s custom, during the Passover, to release to the people any one prisoner whom they selected.
16 Ní àsìkò náà ọ̀daràn paraku kan wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n tí à ń pè Jesu Baraba.
At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
17 Bí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ti péjọ síwájú ilé Pilatu lówúrọ̀ ọjọ́ náà, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ta ni ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́ kí n dá sílẹ̀ fún yín, Baraba tàbí Jesu, ẹni tí ń jẹ́ Kristi?”
So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
18 Òun ti mọ̀ pé nítorí ìlara ni wọn fi fà á lé òun lọ́wọ́.
He knew well that it was because of enmity that they had brought Jesus before him.
19 Bí Pilatu sì ti ṣe jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ rẹ̀, ìyàwó rẹ̀ ránṣẹ́ sí i pé, “Má ṣe ní ohun kankan ṣe pẹ̀lú ọkùnrin aláìṣẹ̀ náà. Nítorí mo jìyà ohun púpọ̀ lójú àlá mi lónìí nítorí rẹ̀.”
And while he was seated upon the judgment-seat, his wife had sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered many things today, in a dream, because of him."
20 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù rọ àwọn ènìyàn, láti béèrè kí a dá Baraba sílẹ̀, kí a sì béèrè ikú fún Jesu.
But the chief priests and the elders urged the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus.
21 Nígbà tí Pilatu sì tún béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èwo nínú àwọn méjèèjì yìí ni ẹ̀ ń fẹ́ kí n dá sílẹ̀ fún yín?” Àwọn ènìyàn sì kígbe padà pé, “Baraba!”
So when Pilate said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release unto you?" they said, "Barabbas."
22 Pilatu béèrè pé, “Kí ni kí èmi ṣe sí Jesu ẹni ti a ń pè ní Kristi?” Gbogbo wọn sì tún kígbe pé, “Kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú!”
And Pilate asked, "What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" What one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"
23 Pilatu sì béèrè pé, “Nítorí kí ni? Kí ló ṣe tí ó burú?” Wọ́n kígbe sókè pé, “Kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú! Kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú!”
But Pilate said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they kept shouting the more fiercely, "Let him be crucified!"
24 Nígbà tí Pilatu sì rí i pé òun kò tún rí nǹkan kan ṣe mọ́, àti wí pé rògbòdìyàn ti ń bẹ̀rẹ̀, ó béèrè omi, ó sì wẹ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ níwájú ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ó wí pé, “Ọrùn mí mọ́ nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ ọkùnrin yìí. Ẹ̀yin fúnra yín, ẹ bojútó o!”
So when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that on the contrary a riot was threatening, he took water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying. "I am innocent of the blood of this man; you must answer for it."
25 Gbogbo àgbájọ náà sì ké pé, “Kí ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ wà lórí wa, àti ní orí àwọn ọmọ wa!”
All the people answered, "His blood be upon us and upon our children."
26 Nígbà náà ni Pilatu dá Baraba sílẹ̀ fún wọn. Lẹ́yìn tí òun ti na Jesu tán, ó fi í lé wọn lọ́wọ́ láti mú un lọ kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he scourged, and delivered to be crucified.
27 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ-ogun gómìnà mú Jesu lọ sí gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́ wọ́n sì kó gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ-ogun tì í.
Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered all the battalion together.
28 Wọ́n tú Jesu sì ìhòhò, wọ́n sì wọ̀ ọ́ ní aṣọ òdòdó,
They stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 wọ́n sì hun adé ẹ̀gún. Wọ́n sì fi dé e lórí. Wọ́n sì fi ọ̀pá sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀pá ọba. Wọ́n sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, wọ́n fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà pé, “Kábíyèsí, ọba àwọn Júù!”
And they twisted a thorny crown for him, and put it on his head, and placed a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt before him, in mockery, crying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
30 Wọ́n sì tu itọ́ sí i lójú àti ara, wọ́n gba ọ̀pá wọ́n sì nà án lórí.
And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head, again and again.
31 Nígbà tí wọ́n fi ṣẹ̀sín tán, wọ́n bọ́ aṣọ ara rẹ̀. Wọ́n tún fi aṣọ tirẹ̀ wọ̀ ọ́. Wọ́n sì mú un jáde láti kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú.
At last, when they had finished their mocking, they took the robe off, and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 Bí wọ́n sì ti ń jáde, wọ́n rí ọkùnrin kan ará Kirene tí à ń pè ní Simoni. Wọ́n sì mú ọkùnrin náà ní túláàsì láti ru àgbélébùú Jesu.
And as they went out they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, whom they compelled to go with them to carry his cross.
33 Wọ́n sì jáde lọ sí àdúgbò kan tí à ń pè ní Gọlgọta (èyí tí í ṣe “Ibi Agbárí”).
And when they came to a place called Golgotha (the word means "Place of a Skull"),
34 Níbẹ̀ ni wọn ti fún un ni ọtí wáìnì tí ó ní egbòogi nínú láti mu. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó tọ́ ọ wò, ó kọ̀ láti mu ún.
they gave Jesus wine to drink, mingled with gall. But after tasting it he refused to drink it.
35 Lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n sì ti kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú, wọ́n dìbò láti pín aṣọ rẹ̀ láàrín ara wọn.
After crucifying him, they parted his garments among them by casting lots.
36 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n jókòó yí i ká. Wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ọ níbẹ̀.
Then they sat and watched him there.
37 Ní òkè orí rẹ̀, wọ́n kọ ohun kan tí ó kà báyìí pé: “Èyí ni Jesu, Ọba àwọn Júù.” síbẹ̀.
They also placed above his head his accusation written, This is Jesus The King of the Jews
38 Wọ́n kan àwọn olè méjì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ní òwúrọ̀ náà. Ọ̀kan ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún, àti èkejì ní ọwọ́ òsì rẹ̀.
At that time two robbers, also, were crucified with him; one on his right hand, the other on his left.
39 Àwọn tí ń kọjá lọ sì ń bú u. Wọ́n sì ń mi orí wọn pé:
Those who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads saying.
40 “Ìwọ tí yóò wó tẹmpili, ìwọ tí yóò sì tún un mọ ní ọjọ́ kẹta. Bí ó bá jẹ́ pé Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni ìwọ, sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí igi àgbélébùú, kí ó sì gba ara rẹ là!”
"You who were going to destroy the Temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"
41 Bákan náà àwọn olórí àlùfáà pẹ̀lú àwọn akọ̀wé òfin àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù sì fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
In like manner the chief priests, too, with the Scribes and elders, kept taunting him.
42 Wọ́n kẹ́gàn rẹ̀ pé, “Ó gba àwọn ẹlòmíràn là, kò sí lè gba ara rẹ̀. Ìwọ ọba àwọn Israẹli? Sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí àgbélébùú nísinsin yìí, àwa yóò sì gbà ọ́ gbọ́.
"He saved other," they said, "himself he cannot save. He, the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him!
43 Ó gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́, jẹ́ kí Ọlọ́run gbà á là ní ìsinsin yìí tí òun bá fẹ́ ẹ. Ǹjẹ́ òun kò wí pé, èmi ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run?”
He put his trust in God. let Him deliver him now, if He cares for him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God!’"
44 Bákan náà, àwọn olè tí a kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
In the same way the robbers also who were being crucified with him, dept reviling him.
45 Láti wákàtí kẹfà ni òkùnkùn fi ṣú bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ títí dé wákàtí kẹsànán ọjọ́.
Now from noon darkness fell upon the whole land, until three o’clock in the afternoon.
46 Níwọ̀n wákàtí kẹsànán ní Jesu sì kígbe ní ohùn rara wí pé, “Eli, Eli, lama sabakitani” (ní èdè Heberu). Ìtumọ̀ èyí tí í ṣe, “Ọlọ́run mi, Ọlọ́run mi, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀?”
But at three o’clock Jesus cried out in loud voice, "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?" (That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?")
47 Ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kò yé díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ẹni tí ń wòran, nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n wí pé ọkùnrin yìí ń pe Elijah.
When they heard this, some of the bystanders said "He is calling for Elijah!"
48 Lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà, ọ̀kan nínú wọn sáré, ó mú kànìnkànìn, ó tẹ̀ ẹ́ bọ inú ọtí kíkan. Ó fi lé orí ọ̀pá, ó gbé e sókè láti fi fún un mu.
At once, one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìyókù wí pé, “Ẹ fi í sílẹ̀. Ẹ jẹ́ kí a wò ó bóyá Elijah yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti gbà á là.”
But the rest said. "Let be! Let us see whether Elijah is coming to save him!"
50 Nígbà tí Jesu sì kígbe ní ohùn rara lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, ó jọ̀wọ́ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, ó sì kú.
And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 Lójúkan náà aṣọ ìkélé tẹmpili fàya, láti òkè dé ìsàlẹ̀. Ilẹ̀ sì mì tìtì. Àwọn àpáta sì sán.
And lo, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two, from the top to the bottom;
52 Àwọn isà òkú sì ṣí sílẹ̀. Ọ̀pọ̀ òkú àwọn ẹni mímọ́ tí ó ti sùn sì tún jíǹde.
the earth quaked; the rocks split; the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
53 Wọ́n jáde wá láti isà òkú lẹ́yìn àjíǹde Jesu, wọ́n sì lọ sí ìlú mímọ́. Níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti fi ara han ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn.
And coming forth out of the tombs, after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 Nígbà tí balógun ọ̀run àti àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tí wọ́n ń sọ Jesu rí bí ilẹ̀ ṣe mì tìtì àti ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀, ẹ̀rù bà wọn gidigidi, wọ́n wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ní í ṣe!”
When the Roman captain and the soldiers who were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and all that happened, they were greatly terrified and said, "Certainly this man must have been God’s Son."
55 Ọ̀pọ̀ obìnrin tí ó wá láti Galili pẹ̀lú Jesu láti tọ́jú rẹ̀ wọn ń wò ó láti òkèèrè.
And there were present several women who were looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from a Galilee, ministering to him.
56 Nínú àwọn obìnrin ti ó wà níbẹ̀ ni Maria Magdalene, àti Maria ìyá Jakọbu àti Josẹfu, àti ìyá àwọn ọmọ Sebede méjèèjì wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
among them being Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jamesand Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
57 Nígbà tí alẹ́ sì lẹ́, ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ kan láti Arimatea, tí à ń pè ní Josẹfu, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Jesu,
When it was eventide, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Josephus, who was himself a disciple of Jesus.
58 lọ sọ́dọ̀ Pilatu, ó sì tọrọ òkú Jesu. Pilatu sì pàṣẹ kí a gbé é fún un.
This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
59 Josẹfu sì gbé òkú náà. Ó fi aṣọ funfun mímọ́ dì í.
Pilate then commanded that it be given over to him.
60 Ó sì tẹ́ ẹ sínú ibojì òkúta tí ó gbẹ́ nínú àpáta fúnra rẹ̀. Ó sì yí òkúta ńlá dí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibojì náà, ó sì lọ.
So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and after rolling a great stone against the opening of the tomb, he went away.
61 Maria Magdalene àti Maria kejì wà níbẹ̀, wọn jókòó òdìkejì ibojì náà.
And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Lọ́jọ́ kejì tí ó tẹ̀lé ọjọ́ ìpalẹ̀mọ́ àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi lọ sọ́dọ̀ Pilatu.
The day after - that is, the day following the Preparation - the chief priests and Pharisees went in a body to Pilate and said.
63 Wọ́n sọ fún un pé, “Alàgbà àwa rántí pé ẹlẹ́tàn n nì wí nígbà tí ó wà láyé pé, ‘Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ kẹta èmi yóò tún jí dìde.’
"We recollect, Sir, that when he was living this imposter said, ‘I will rise again after three days.’
64 Nítorí náà, pàṣẹ kí a ti ibojì rẹ̀ gbọningbọnin títí ọjọ́ kẹta, kí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ má ṣe wá jí gbé lọ, wọn a sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í sọ fún gbogbo ènìyàn pé, ‘Òun ti jíǹde,’ bí èyí bá ní láti ṣẹlẹ̀, yóò burú fún wa púpọ̀ ju ti àkọ́kọ́ lọ.”
Now therefore give order to have the sepulcher securely guarded until the third day, for fear his disciples may come and steal him away, and then tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead’; and so the last error will be worse than the first."
65 Pilatu sì pàṣẹ pé, “Ẹ lo àwọn olùṣọ́ yín kí wọn dáàbò bo ibojì náà bí ẹ bá ti fẹ́.”
"You can have a guard," said Pilate. "Go your way, make it as secure as you can."
66 Nítorí náà wọ́n lọ. Wọ́n sì ṣé òkúta ibojì náà dáradára. Wọ́n sì fi àwọn olùṣọ́ sí ibẹ̀ láti dáàbò bò ó.
So they went and made the sepulcher secure, by sealing the stone in the presence of the guard.
