Mark 14 (ASJ) · Opened

1Tɛ̀ shɛ jo faa le ni nuuŋ jobɛ chi Tsɔnɔ chi N'yafuwee bɛ Tsɔnɔ chi Kibele ki bɛ mɛɛŋ ki gɛɛ kɛ kishee le kɛ-ɛ. Bɛte muntofi bɛ nɔŋa bɛ nɔŋa mɔɔ bɛniiŋ bɛ tiifi bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ tɛ̀ wɛki dze yi be nuuŋ be kɔɔ Jiso le lɛ munyiikɔɔ li, be wo.Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

2Be lɛ ntsooŋ li yi yi bee le, “Kiiŋ tɛ ni mɔŋ fiee fini li mfi wu bɛ feti Tsɔnɔ-ɔ kɛ, kifɛ ɛ tɛ mɔŋ, fi bɛ bɛ ŋkweŋɛ lɛ bɛniiŋ li lɛnti.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

3Jiso tɛ̀ nuuŋ li kitoŋ ki Bɛtani-i, li yih yi Simu wu wi wu chigɔŋ chi nɔŋa-a, ɛ be tɛ̀ shee be jii biee, kwɛɛŋ wumu dza lɛ bɛ fikoo fi mɛɛŋ mamu mɛ sɛɛndi ni shuuŋŋ.

Le lɛ lɛ, bootɛ kimfimɛ ki fikoo filu tumi mɛɛŋ malu li kikoo ki Jiso-o.While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.

4Bɛniiŋ bamu dza be ŋuŋini be be, be tiiti le, “Bifisi mɛɛŋ mani ni kii la?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5Bee nuuŋ bɛ kabɛ mɛɛŋ malu, me yaa kwa bɛnchuki gii tɛɛ, bɛ nyɛ kwa wulu li bɛniiŋ bɛ kifoo lɛ.” Be ŋasɛ bɛ wu.It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6Se nuuŋ le, Jiso tɛ̀ tee li bee le, “Gɛɛ yɛɛŋ wu nshiiŋ. Nɛ nyɛɛ wu ŋgɛ kii la? Wu fɛɔ nuuŋ fiee fi dzeeŋ li mi-i.But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7Nɛ kɛɛ le bɛniiŋ bɛ kifoo lɛ gii be ni be nuuŋ bɛ beŋ mfi kwi. Nuuŋ nɛ ni nɛ fii be mfi wu nɛ kɔŋgisi. Se nuuŋ le, nnuuŋ ntɛ nuuŋ bɛ beŋ mfi kwi kɛ.The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8Kwɛɛŋ wuni fɛɔ nuuŋ fiee fi bee kɛmi le fɛ. Wu fwaɔ mi bɛ mɛɛŋ mani ni, le nachɛ nuuŋ yi yɛŋ mɛɛŋ si bɛ gii bɛ diyɛ mi.She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9Ntee beŋ chɛɛŋ le, mɔɔ nuuŋ fɛŋ fɛ bɛ gii bɛ ni bɛ fenjisi ntoŋ wu dzeeŋ wuni li kikoo ki nshɛ kichu, fiee fi kwɛɛŋ wuni fɛ bɛ gii bɛ ni bɛ tiiti tɛ kii fi, bɛ kiimi wu.”And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

10Judas Iskaliyɔ wu tɛ̀ nuuŋ wi kintutu ki bɔɔŋ bɛ kintutu-u bɛ Jiso bɛ yoofi ntsɔ bɛfɛ wɛ tɛ̀ dza gɛɛŋ fɛ bɛte muntofi bɛ nɔŋa bɛ nɔŋa le kabɛ Jiso li bee.Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11Le be woo lɛ, be nɛɛtɛ ŋge, be kaachɛ wu le be gii be nyɛ wu kwa. Se bɛchi wɛki dze yi gii nyɛ Jiso li tsaŋ yi bee.They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

12Jobɛ chi ŋkosi chi Tsɔnɔ chi Kibele ki bɛ mɛɛŋ ki gɛɛ kɛ kishee le kɛ chi be tɛ̀ shiiŋ be sɛɛti ŋwaŋ wu kiŋkɔ li Tsɔnɔ chi N'yafuwee tɛ̀ bɛ chi kɔchɛ, bɔɔŋ bɛ Jiso-o bɛ kintutu-u bii li wuu laa, “Ɔ wɛki le tɛ gɛɛŋ tɛ nachɛ nuuŋ fɛŋ le ke ɔ ji Tsɔnɔ chi N'yafuwee fe?”On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13Se toŋ bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu bamu bɛfɛ, tee li bee le, “Gɛnɛ yɛɛŋ li kito-oŋ, mfi wu nɛ giiŋgi lɔɔ, nɛ gii nɛ ŋɛŋ wi wumu ɛ wu too dzɔɔ lɛ tɛnɛ-ɛ, nɛ biee wu.So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

14Mfi wu wu gɛɛŋ wu lɛ li yih yi wu lɛ lu-u, nɛ tee li wi wu kɛmi yih yilu-u le Wi wu Ntiifɛ biitɔɔ laa loŋ we wu bɛniiŋ bɛ ndɛndɛ-ɛ wu bee bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu-u gii be ji Tsɔnɔ chi N'yafuwee lu nuuŋ fɛŋ le?and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

15Gii se doonchɛ loŋ wu nyɔŋa wu lɛwe li yih yi biji-i wu bɛ bɔsɛyi bɛ nachɛ kituŋ wu nuuŋ, nɛ se nachɛ biee bijɛ lu.”And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16Bɔɔŋ bɛ kintutu bɛlu se dza be gɛɛŋ li kitoŋ kilu-u, be gɛɛŋ be ŋɛŋ biee nɛɛ yɛɛŋ si Jiso bee tee li bee. Be se nachɛ biee bijɛ bi Tsɔnɔ chi N'yafuwee chilu-u lu.So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

17Le ni nuuŋ lɛ fɛmfo-o, Jiso bee bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu bɛ yoofi ntsɔ bɛfɛ baa taashɛ lu.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18Be shee be jii biee, Jiso dza tee li bee le, “Ntee beŋ chɛɛŋ le wi wumu li beŋ linti gii kabɛ mi, wi wuni jiiɔ biee tɛɛ wu.”And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19Le be woo lɛ, be dza be to nshiiŋ nshiiŋ, be se tiiti li wuu wi mumkpaŋ mumkpaŋ le, “Ŋkiiɔ le ɛ mi kɛ.”They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20Se tuu le, “Ɛ nɛɛ wi wumu li beŋ bɛ yoofi ntsɔ bɛfɛ bani-i wu fuundi kibele lɛ sho-o tɛɛ wu.He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21Ŋwanɛwi gii gɛɛŋ nɛɛ si bɛ tɛ̀ tsɛɛ kii wu. Se nuuŋ le, ŋgɛ wu nyɔŋa wɛ li wi wu kabɛ Ŋwanɛwi. Fi tɛ̀ dzɔɔŋ ŋge le gii bɛ ba wu ki biɛ kɛ.”The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22Si be tɛ̀ jii biee lɛ, Jiso dza dzɔ kibele, nyɛ kiyɔɔni li Nyɔ-ɔ, booyɛ, nyɛ li bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu-u tee le, “Kɔ yɛɛŋ, yiiŋ yi yɛŋ.”While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

23Tuu dzɔ tɛ fika, nyɛ kiyɔɔni li Nyɔ-ɔ, se nyɛ fika filu li bee, be woŋ be bɛchu.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24Tee li bee le, “Mani nuuŋ ŋgɔŋ meŋ mɛ Nyɔ ji leh lu me bo kii bɛniiŋ ŋge.He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Ntee beŋ chɛɛŋ le mɛɛŋ yɛ naa ntuu ŋ'woŋ mbiiŋ mɛ gwɛɛŋ wu kiti ki lɛɛndi mani-i kɛ nsiiŋ gɛɛŋ bo jobɛ chi ŋgii naa ŋ'woŋ mɛfɛŋ bɛ beŋ lɛnti lɛ bumfɔŋ bu Nyɔ-ɔ.”Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

26Le Jiso bee bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu-u mɛɛshi, be yoo jumi chi n'yɔɔnchɛ-ɛ, be dza be michi be giiŋgi li Ŋkumɛ wu Biti bi Oli-if.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27Jiso tɛ̀ dza tee li bee le, “Beŋ bɛchu gii nɛ tuu bikaa lijiŋ. Fi nuuŋ si bɛ tɛ̀ tsɛɛ Nyɔ tiiti le, ‘Ŋgii ŋ'wo wi wu kiichi nshɔ́ɔŋ, nshɔ́ɔŋ se saaŋgɛ.’Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

28Se nuuŋ le, mfi wu Nyɔ buu mi li kwe-e, ntoo mbaŋ li be-eŋ Galilii.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Pita tuu li Jiso le, “Mɔɔ nuuŋ le bɛniiŋ bɛchu gii be chee bikaa lɛ wɛɛ jiŋ, be to lijiŋ, nuuŋ ntɛ nchee kɛ.”Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30Jiso tee li wuu le, “Ntee wɛ chɛɛŋ le butuu bu bɛŋ buni, fi fiɛɛ le fɛ nyinɛshee gii yi ni yi nuuŋ le yi tɔɔŋ kiŋga kifɛ, nuuŋ ɔɔ faaŋ mi kiŋga kitɛɛtɛ.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31Pita yɔ bɛ buŋga tee le, “Mɔɔ nuuŋ le ŋkwi tɛɛ wɛ, nuuŋ ntɛ naa mfaaŋ wɛ kɛ.” Le tee lɛ, be bɛchu tee nɛɛ tɛ si wu tee lɛ.But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.

32Be gɛɛŋ be lɛ li wɛ wu mbaŋ wumu-u, bɛ teenyi le Gɛsɛmani, Jiso tee li bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu le, “Shee yɛɛŋ fɛni, ŋgɛɛŋ nlɛkɛ li Nyɔ-ɔ.”Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33Dzɔ Pita bɛ Jeeŋ mɔɔ Jɔɔŋ, bee be dza fe. Se dza tuu seki biee wuki ntɔnyɛ.He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34Tee li bee le, “Shéŋ yɛŋ yɛɛ nshiiŋ nshiiŋ ŋge yi nuuŋ ŋkwi. Shɛ yɛɛŋ nɛ ni nɛ tɛŋgi fɛni.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35Jiso dza fe kiiŋgi gɛɛŋ limfwe niiŋ, we fɛkwiiŋ, lɛkɛ li Nyɔ-ɔ le ɛ dze bee yi nuuŋ lu, mfi wu ŋgɛ wulu ka nɛɛ.Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36Lɛkɛ li Nyɔ-ɔ le, “Abba, Baa wɛŋ, ɔ nuuŋ ɔ fɛ nɛɛ fiee fichu. Tsaaki fika fi ŋgɛ fini kii ni ŋ'woŋ. Se nuuŋ le, fɛrɛ nɛɛ si ɔ kɔŋgisi. Kiiŋ ɔ ni fɛ si ŋkɔŋgisi kɛ.”“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37Jiso kaari to lijiŋ lɛ bee, ŋɛŋ be liiti. Bii li Pita laa, “Simu, ɔ liiti lɔɔ ni? Ɔ nuuŋ tɛ taaŋ le gɛɛŋ bo ntaŋ wu mfi mumkpaŋ ni?Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Nɛ nuuŋ yɛɛŋ we nɛ lɛki li Nyɔ-ɔ kii mɔnchɛ ni bɛ lɛ be-eŋ. Fi fiɛɛ chɛɛŋ le shéŋ kɔŋgisi yɛɛ, se nuuŋ le nyaŋ yi bwiŋ nuuŋ fɛɛ.”Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39Si wu tee lɛ kaari gɛɛŋ lɛkɛ li Nyɔ-ɔ nɛɛ si bee saa lɛki li Nyɔ-ɔ.Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40Le tuu ni karisi tuu lijiŋ, ŋɛŋ bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu-u be liiti kifɛ chilefɛ tɛ̀ nuuŋ be lɛ lii ŋge. Be mɛɛŋ ki kɛɛ kɛ fiee fi be nuuŋ be tuu li wuu kɛ.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41Kaari to lijiŋ kiŋga kitɛɛtɛ, bii li bee laa, “Nɛ mɛɛŋ nɛ liiti nɛ fufini finɛ ni? Chi kɔchɛ chɛɛ. Mfi wulu bɛɛɔ. Bɛ kabɛ baa Ŋwanɛwi li bɛniiŋ bɛ bifi-i.When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42Dza yɛɛŋ we tɛɛbeŋ tɛ ni tɛ giiŋgi. Bichɛ yɛɛŋ nɛ ŋɛŋ, wi wu kabɛ mi bɛɛɔ kituŋ.”Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

43Nɛɛ si Jiso tɛ̀ mɛɛŋ yeti lɛ, mfwaa mumkpaŋ Judas wu tɛ̀ nuuŋ wi kintutu ki bɔɔŋ bɛ Jiso bɛ yoofi ntsɔ bɛfɛ baa biee busɛ. Tɛ̀ gii bɛɛ bɛ kintutu ki bɛniiŋ lɛ be kɛmi nyɔ́ bɛ bimboki, ɛ bɛte muntofi bɛ nɔŋa bɛ nɔŋa bɛ bɛniiŋ bɛ tiifi bɛnchi mɔɔ bɛniiŋ bɛ sɛki kwɛɛŋ tɛ̀ toŋ be.While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

44Tɛ̀ nuuŋ ɛ wi wu tɛ̀ kabɛ Jiso wulu tɛ̀ nachɛ bɛ bɛniiŋ bɛlu tee le, “Wi wu ŋgii n'yɛsi, ŋkokɛ nyɔɔchɛ, ɛ wu, nɛ biee nɛ kɔɔ wu, nɛ dzɔ wu, nɛ giiŋgi bɛ wu nɛ bichi kii ni letɛ.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Si Judas bɛ lɛ, gɛɛŋ mfwaa mumkpaŋ fɛ Jiso, yɛsi wu le, “Wi wu Ntiifɛ.” Si wu yɛsi wu lɛ, kokɛ wu nyɔɔchɛ wu.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Bɛniiŋ baa lɔŋ tsaŋ li Jiso, be cha wu.Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47Wi wumu tɛ̀ gii lemi bee bɛ Jiso tsɔɔ nyɔ ye yi dziŋ, kɛri kintooŋ ki mfwa wu kikoo ki bɛte muntofi lu, sondɛ.And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Jiso bii li bɛniiŋ bɛlu laa, “Nɛ bɛ le nɛ kɔɔ mi nɛ bɛɛ bɛ nyɔ́ mɔɔ bimboki kɛɛ nɛ bɛ le nɛ kɔɔ nuuŋ wi ni?Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Ntuu nshiiŋ nuuŋ tɛɛbeŋ li jo-o li jo-o mɔɔ li yíh yi muntofi, ntiifi bɛniiŋ, nɛ mɛɛŋ ki kɔɔ kɛ mi kɛ. Se nuuŋ le, fini kɛti fiɛɛ dɛɛni ni le fiee fi bɛ tɛ̀ tsɛɛ lɛ Kiŋwaati ki Nyɔ-ɔ bɛ fi kɔchɛ.”Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

50Bɔɔŋ bɛ Jiso bɛ kintutu bɛchu se lɔŋ wu fe, be kifi.Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51Sɔɔnɛ wi wumu tɛ̀ biki wu, ti mɛɛŋ ki lii kɛ fiee ndu li wuu bwiŋ kɛ, tɛ̀ nuuŋ nɛɛ bɛ ŋkweŋkwe wu ndu kwaa libwiŋ. Be gɛɛŋ le be kɔɔ tɛ̀ wu,One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52ndu yilu fanchɛ, chinɛ letɛ tiŋ kilɛrɛ.but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53Be dzɔ Jiso, be gɛɛŋ bɛ wu fɛ kikoo ki bɛte muntofi-i. Bɛte muntofi bɛ nɔŋa bɛ nɔŋa bɛ bɛniiŋ bɛ sɛki kwɛɛŋ mɔɔ bɛniiŋ bɛ tiifi bɛnchi baanchɛ fe.They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54Be tɛ̀ giiŋgi bɛ Jiso Pita biki lɛjiŋ mfiiŋ. Gɛɛŋ bo la kintikinti wu kikoo ki bɛte muntofi-i, se shee bee bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ̀ kiichi la wulu wɔɔnsi wi.Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.

55Bɛte muntofi bɛ nɔŋa bɛ nɔŋa bɛ bɛniiŋ bɛchu bɛ sɛki bɛnsa tɛ wɛki fiee fi be nuuŋ be kayɛ li Jiso-o, fi fɛ se be wo wu. Se nuuŋ le, be ti mɛɛŋ ki ŋɛŋ kɛ fiee kɛ.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

56Bɛniiŋ ŋge tɛ̀ lemi lɛjiŋ lɛ nsa wu binsɛɛ li kii Jiso. Se nuuŋ le, wi tɛ̀ tiiti yɛ fiee fi kɔchini bɛ fi wumu kɛ.For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

57Bɛniiŋ bamu tɛ̀ dza be leŋ we, be kayɛ bi bee binsɛɛ li wuu, be tee le,Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:

58“Tɛ̀ tuu tɛ̀ woo tiiti le gii shaanshɛ yih yi muntofi yini yi wiwoŋ gwaŋ bɛ tsaŋ, dzɔɔ jo taa kaari gwaŋ yimi yi nuuŋ yɛ ŋgwanu wu wiwoŋ kɛ.”“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

59Mɔɔ si be tɛ̀ tiiti lɛ, tefɛ chi bee tɛ̀ bɛɛ yɛ chi kɔchini kɛ.But even their testimony was inconsistent.

60Kikoo ki bɛte muntofi-i se dza ki leŋ we bɛniiŋ limfwe, ki bii li Jiso-o laa, “Ɔ kɛmi yɛ fiee fi ɔ nuuŋ ɔ tuu kɛ ni? Ɔ wuki nɛɛ biee bi bɛniiŋ bani tiiti kii wɛ ni?”So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

61Jiso ba shiiŋ, mɛɛŋ ki tuu kɛ fiee kɛ. Kikoo ki bɛte muntofi kɛɛ tuu ki bii li Jiso-o laa, “Ɔ nuuŋ Kinsofu ki Nyɔ tɛ̀ kaachɛ ki Ŋwanɛ Nyɔ, Nyɔ yi bɛ yɔɔnchi ni?”But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62Jiso tuu le, “Ɛ mi. Nɛ gii naa nɛ ŋɛŋ si Ŋwanɛwi shee lɛ kibɛnɛ ki kigɔŋɛ ki Nyɔ-ɔ yi kɛmi Buŋga-a, nɛ tuu nɛ ŋɛŋ si shiiti bɛɛ liboo li kiku-uŋ.”“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63Kikoo ki bɛte muntofi kɛɛ woo lɛ, ki gaamɛ ndú yi ki, ki bii laa, “Fiee mɛɛŋ lu fi tɛɛbeŋ tuu geendi wi le leŋ fɛni ni tiiti ni?At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

64Nɛ mɛɛŋ ki woo kɛ si dzeti kintsii ki Nyɔ-ɔ ni? Nɛ tee le la?” Bɛniiŋ bɛchu sondɛ le wɛ wi wu bɛ nuuŋ bɛ wo buwo.You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

65Bɛniiŋ bamu bɛchi be kwiyi Jiso bɛ budii, be kaŋ lii yee, be juti wu bɛ muŋkɔ, be tiiti le, “Doonchɛ kintomfɔŋ ki Nyɔ-ɔ kɛɛ dɛɛni.” Bɛniiŋ bɛ nchi dza be dzɔ Jiso be bɛchi be tuki wu.Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.

66Si Pita tɛ̀ nuuŋ dze lɛ kwiiŋ la kintikinti lɛ, ŋwaakwɛɛŋ wumu li bɔɔŋ bɛ bukɛɛŋ bɛ tɛ̀ nindi li kikoo ki bɛte muntofi-i dza bɛ li wuu lichiŋ.While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67Si wu ŋɛŋ Pita wɔɔnsi wi lɛ, bichɛ wu ni fwiiŋ, tee le, “Ɔ bee tɛ nɛɛ Jiso Wi wu Nasarɛ wɛ.”and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68Pita faaŋ, tee le, “Ŋkii yɛ fiee fi ɔ tiiti fini kɛ. Ŋkii yɛ kɛ.” Si wu tee lɛ, dza fe gɛɛŋ fɛ fweeŋ wu mbaŋ, nyinɛshee tɔɔŋ.But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

69Le ŋwaakwɛɛŋ wɛ ka ŋɛŋ wu, tee li bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ̀ lemi fe-e le, “Wi wuni ɛ wi wumu li bee linti.”There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70Pita ka faaŋ. Le mfi kiiŋgi niiŋ, bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ̀ lemi fe baa tuu be tee li Pita-a le, “Ɛ chɛɛŋ le ɔ nuuŋ wi wu be, kifɛ ɛ wɛ wi wu Galilii.”But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

71Pita chini, teeŋ kinlɔɔ li yi yee li, tee le, “Ŋkii yɛ wi wu nɛ tiiti kii wu wuni kɛ.”But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72Mfwaa mumkpaŋ nyinɛshee tuu yi tɔɔŋ li kiŋga kifɛ. Pita se kimi tefɛ chi Jiso bee tee li wuu le, “Nyinɛshee gii ni yi nuuŋ le yi tɔɔŋ kiŋga kifɛ, nuuŋ ɔɔ faaŋ mi kiŋga kitɛɛtɛ.” Waŋ kwe.And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
