Matthew 27
1 Ní òwúrọ̀, gbogbo àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tún padà láti gbìmọ̀ bí wọn yóò ti ṣe pa Jesu.
When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;
2 Lẹ́yìn èyí, wọ́n fi ẹ̀wọ̀n dè é, wọ́n sì jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ fún Pilatu tí i ṣe gómìnà.
and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the 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, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High 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!”
and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business."
5 Nígbà náà ni Judasi da owó náà sílẹ̀ nínú tẹmpili. Ó jáde, ó sì lọ pokùnso.
Flinging the shekels into the Sanctuary he left the place, 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.”
When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the 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 consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;
8 Ìdí nìyìí tí à ń pe ibi ìsìnkú náà ní “Ilẹ̀ Ẹ̀jẹ̀” títí di òní.
for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of '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 were fulfilled the words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, "And I took the thirty shekels, the price of the prized one on whom Israelites had set a price,
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 directed 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.”
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù fi gbogbo ẹ̀sùn wọn kàn án, Jesu kò dáhùn kan.
When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.
13 Nígbà náà ni Pilatu, béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jesu pé, “Àbí ìwọ kò gbọ́ ẹ̀rí tí wọn ń wí nípa rẹ ni?”
"Do you not hear," asked Pilate, "what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?"
14 Jesu kò sì tún dáhùn kan. Èyí sì ya baálẹ̀ lẹ́nu.
But He made no reply to a single accusation, so 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 at the Festival to release some one prisoner, whomsoever the populace desired;
16 Ní àsìkò náà ọ̀daràn paraku kan wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n tí à ń pè Jesu Baraba.
and at this time they had a notorious prisoner called 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 were now assembled Pilate appealed to them. "Whom shall I release to you," he said, "Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"
18 Òun ti mọ̀ pé nítorí ìlara ni wọn fi fà á lé òun lọ́wọ́.
For he knew that it was from envious hatred that Jesus had been brought 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.”
While he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. "Have nothing to do with that innocent man," she said, "for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through 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.
The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of 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 the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "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!”
"What then," said Pilate, "shall I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" With 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!”
"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "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 he saw that he could gain nothing, but that on the contrary there was a riot threatening, he called for water and washed his hands in sight of them all, saying, "I am not responsible for this murder: you must answer for it."
25 Gbogbo àgbájọ náà sì ké pé, “Kí ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ wà lórí wa, àti ní orí àwọn ọmọ wa!”
"His blood," replied all the people, "be on us and on 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 ordered to be scourged, and gave Him up 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 Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.
28 Wọ́n tú Jesu sì ìhòhò, wọ́n sì wọ̀ ọ́ ní aṣọ òdòdó,
Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.
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!”
They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!"
30 Wọ́n sì tu itọ́ sí i lójú àti ara, wọ́n gba ọ̀pá wọ́n sì nà án lórí.
Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it.
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, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
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.
Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled 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 so they came to a place called Golgotha, which means 'Skull-ground.'
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.
Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted 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 divided His garments among them by lot,
36 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n jókòó yí i ká. Wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ọ níbẹ̀.
and sat down there on guard.
37 Ní òkè orí rẹ̀, wọ́n kọ ohun kan tí ó kà báyìí pé: “Èyí ni Jesu, Ọba àwọn Júù.” síbẹ̀.
Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: 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 the same time two robbers were crucified with Him, one at His right hand and the other at His left.
39 Àwọn tí ń kọjá lọ sì ń bú u. Wọ́n sì ń mi orí wọn pé:
And the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him
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!”
and said, "You who would pull down the Sanctuary and build a new one within three days, save yourself. If you are God's Son, 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 High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted 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 others," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in 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?”
His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him; for he said, 'I am God's Son.'"
44 Bákan náà, àwọn olè tí a kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers who were being crucified with Him.
45 Láti wákàtí kẹfà ni òkùnkùn fi ṣú bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ títí dé wákàtí kẹsànán ọjọ́.
Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was darkness over the whole land;
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 about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a 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.
"The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.
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.
One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine put it on the end of a cane and offered it 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.”
while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to deliver him."
50 Nígbà tí Jesu sì kígbe ní ohùn rara lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, ó jọ̀wọ́ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, ó sì kú.
But Jesus uttered another loud cry and then yielded up His spirit.
51 Lójúkan náà aṣọ ìkélé tẹmpili fàya, láti òkè dé ìsàlẹ̀. Ilẹ̀ sì mì tìtì. Àwọn àpáta sì sán.
Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;
52 Àwọn isà òkú sì ṣí sílẹ̀. Ọ̀pọ̀ òkú àwọn ẹni mímọ́ tí ó ti sùn sì tún jíǹde.
the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.
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 out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves 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!”
As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was 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 a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;
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 of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.
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,
Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself also had become a disciple of Jesus.
58 lọ sọ́dọ̀ Pilatu, ó sì tọrọ òkú Jesu. Pilatu sì pàṣẹ kí a gbé é fún un.
He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 Josẹfu sì gbé òkú náà. Ó fi aṣọ funfun mímọ́ dì í.
So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.
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.
He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.
61 Maria Magdalene àti Maria kejì wà níbẹ̀, wọn jókòó òdìkejì ibojì náà.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were both present there, sitting opposite to the sepulchre.
62 Lọ́jọ́ kejì tí ó tẹ̀lé ọjọ́ ìpalẹ̀mọ́ àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi lọ sọ́dọ̀ Pilatu.
On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.
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.’
"Sir," they said, "we recollect that during his lifetime that impostor pretended that after two days he was to rise to life again.
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.”
So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious 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 and make all safe, as best 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 sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.
