Matthew 27 (BREBRG)

1Pa voe deuet ar mintin, an holl veleien vras hag henaourien ar bobl en em guzulias a-enep Jezuz evit e lakaat d'ar marv.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2O vezañ e ereet, en degasjont hag en lakajont etre daouarn Poñs-Pilat, ar gouarnour.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Neuze, Judaz, an hini en devoa e werzhet, o welout penaos e oa kondaonet, a zeuas morc'hed dezhañ, hag e tegasas an tregont pezh arc'hant d'ar veleien vras ha d'an henaourien,When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

4o lavarout: Pec'het em eus o werzhañ ar gwad didamall. Met int a lavaras dezhañ: Petra a ra-se deomp? An dra-se a sell ouzhit.“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Goude m'en devoe taolet ar pezhioù arc'hant en templ, ez eas kuit, hag en em grougas.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Ar veleien vras o dastumas hag a lavaras: N'eo ket aotreet o lakaat en teñzor, dre ma'z int priz ar gwad.The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

7Hag, o vezañ en em guzuliet, e prenjont park ar poder, evit beziañ an diavaezidi.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Setu perak eo galvet ar park-se, Park ar Gwad, betek hiziv.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Neuze e voe peurc'hraet ar pezh a oa bet lavaret gant Jeremia, ar profed: Kemeret o deus an tregont pezh arc'hant, gwerzh an hini a zo bet lakaet e briz, eus an hini a zo bet lakaet e briz gant bugale Israel,Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

10hag o rojont evit park ar poder, evel m'en deus an Aotrou urzhiet din.and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Jezuz a voe lakaet dirak ar gouarnour; ar gouarnour a reas ar goulenn-mañ outañ: Bez' out-te roue ar Yuzevien? Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: Te en lavar.Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Met pa voe tamallet gant ar veleien vras ha gant an henaourien, ne respontas netra.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Neuze Pilat a lavaras dezhañ: Ha ne glevez ket pegement a draoù a damallont dit?Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Met eñ ne respontas ket ur ger dezhañ, en hevelep doare ma oa ar gouarnour souezhet- meurbet.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Ar gouarnour en devoa ar c'hiz, da bep gouel, da leuskel d'ar bobl an hini eus ar brizonidi a c'houlennent.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Bez' e oa neuze ur prizoniad brudet-bras, a c'halved Barabbaz.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Evel ma oant dastumet, Pilat a lavaras dezho: Pehini a fell deoc'h e laoskfen deoc'h, Barabbaz, pe Jezuz a c'halver Krist?So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18Rak anavezout a rae e oa dre avi o devoa e lakaet etre e zaouarn.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19E-pad ma oa azezet war e gador-varn, e wreg a gasas da lavarout dezhañ: Ra ne vo netra etre an den reizh-se ha te; rak gwall-boaniet on bet hiziv, dre un hunvre, abalamour dezhañ.While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

20Met ar veleien vras hag an henaourien a alias ar bobl da c'houlenn Barabbaz, ha da lakaat koll Jezuz.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Ar gouarnour, o kemer ar gomz, a lavaras dezho: Pehini an daou a fell deoc'h e laoskfen deoc'h? Int a lavaras: Barabbaz.“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Pilat a lavaras dezho: Petra a rin eta eus Jezuz a c'halver Krist? Holl a lavarjont: Ra vo staget ouzh ar groaz!“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Ar gouarnour a lavaras: Peseurt droug en deus graet? Hag e krient kreñvoc'h, o lavarout: Ra vo staget ouzh ar groaz!“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Pilat, o welout penaos ne c'houneze netra, met e kreske an drubuilh, a gemeras dour hag a walc'has e daouarn dirak ar bobl, o lavarout: Didamall on eus gwad an den reizh-mañ; soñjit-se.When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

25Hag an holl bobl a respontas: Ra gouezho e wad warnomp ha war hor bugale!All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Neuze e laoskas dezho Barrabaz; ha goude bezañ lakaet skourjezañ Jezuz, en lakaas etre o daouarn evit bezañ staget ouzh ar groaz.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Neuze soudarded ar gouarnour a zegasas Jezuz er pretordi, hag e tastumjont en-dro dezhañ an holl strollad.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28O vezañ e ziwisket, e lakajont warnañ ur vantell ruz-skarlek.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29O vezañ gweet ur gurunenn spern, e lakajont anezhi war e benn, gant ur gorzenn en e zorn dehou, hag o plegañ o glin dirazañ, e raent goap anezhañ, o lavarout: Me a salud ac'hanout, roue ar Yuzevien.And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30Hag o vezañ krañchet outañ, e kemerjont ar gorzenn hag e skojont ganti war e benn.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Goude bezañ graet goap anezhañ, e lamjont ar vantell diwarnañ, e wiskjont dezhañ e zilhad en-dro, hag e kasjont anezhañ evit e lakaat ouzh ar groaz.After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

32Evel ma teuent er-maez, e kavjont un den eus Siren, anvet Simon, hag e lakajont anezhañ da zougen kroaz Jezuz.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33O vezañ erruet en ul lec'h anvet Golgota, da lavarout eo lec'h ar c'hlopenn,And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34e rojont dezhañ da evañ gwinegr mesket gant bestl; ha p'en devoe e dañvaet, ne fellas ket dezhañ evañ.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Goude bezañ e staget ouzh ar groaz, e lodennjont e zilhad, ouzh o zeurel d'ar sord, evit ma vije peurc'hraet ar pezh a oa bet lavaret gant ar profed: Lodennet o deus va dilhad, ha taolet o deus va sae d'ar sord.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Hag, o vezañ azezet, e tiwalljont anezhañ.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Lakaat a rejont a-us d'e benn abeg e gondaonidigezh, dre ar skrid: HEMAÑ EO JEZUZ ROUE AR YUZEVIEN.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Neuze e voe kroazstaget gantañ daou laer, unan a-zehou, hag egile a-gleiz dezhañ.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Ar re a dremene dre eno a lavare dismegañsoù dezhañ, o hejañ o fenn,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40hag o lavarout: He! Te, an hini a ziskar an templ hag en adsav e tri devezh, en em savete da-unan! Mar dout Mab Doue, diskenn eus ar groaz!and saying, “You who are 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!”

41Evel-se ivez, ar veleien vras, gant ar skribed hag an henaourien, a lavare, en ur c'hoapaat:In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42Saveteet en deus ar re all, ha ne c'hell ket en em saveteiñ e-unan! Mar deo roue Israel, ra ziskenno bremañ eus ar groaz, hag e kredimp ennañ!“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

43En em fiziout a rae e Doue, ra zieubo Doue anezhañ bremañ, mar en em blij ennañ; rak lavaret en deus: Mab Doue on!He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Al laeron ivez, a oa kroazstaget gantañ, a rae dezhañ an hevelep rebechoù.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Adalek ar c'hwec'hvet eur betek an navet, e voe teñvalijenn war an douar holl.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Ha war-dro an navet eur, Jezuz a grias gant ur vouezh kreñv: Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani? Da lavarout eo: Va Doue, va Doue, perak ec'h eus va dilezet?About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

47Hiniennoù eus ar re a oa eno, o vezañ e glevet, a lavare: Setu e c'halv Elia.When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Ha raktal, unan anezho a redas, a gemeras ur spoueenn, hag o vezañ he leuniet a winegr, he lakaas e penn ur gorzenn, hag he roas dezhañ da evañ.One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

49Met ar re all a lavare: Lez; gwelomp hag-eñ e teuio Elia d'e saveteiñ.But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Neuze Jezuz, o vezañ taolet adarre ur griadenn vras, a rentas e spered.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Ha setu, gouel an templ a rogas e div, adalek krec'h betek traoñ, an douar a grenas, ar reier a frailhas,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52ar bezioù a zigoras, ha meur a gorf ar sent a oa marv, a adsavas a varv;The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53hag, o vezañ aet er-maez eus o bezioù goude adsavidigezh Jezuz a varv, ez ejont er gêr santel hag en em ziskouezjont da galz.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Neuze, ar c'hantener hag ar re a oa gantañ da ziwall Jezuz, o welout ar c'hren-douar ha kement a oa c'hoarvezet, a voe spontet bras hag a lavaras: Hemañ, evit gwir, a oa Mab Doue.When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

55Bez' e oa ivez meur a wreg a selle a-bell; heuliet o devoa Jezuz adalek Galilea, ouzh e servijañ.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56En o-zouez e oa Mari a Vagdala, Mari mamm da Jakez ha da Jozef, ha mamm mibien Zebedea.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Diouzh an abardaez, e teuas un den pinvidik eus Arimatea, anvet Jozef, un den a oa ivez diskibl da Jezuz.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Mont a reas da gavout Pilat, hag e c'houlennas digantañ korf Jezuz. Neuze Pilat a c'hourc'hemennas reiñ ar c'horf.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Jozef a gemeras ar c'horf, en goloas gant ul lienenn gwenn,So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60hag a lakaas anezhañ en e vez nevez e-unan en devoa toullet er roc'h; ha goude bezañ ruilhet ur maen bras ouzh dor ar bez, ez eas kuit.and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

61Mari a Vagdala hag ar Vari all, a oa azezet eno, e-tal ar bez.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62An deiz war-lerc'h a oa deiz goude ar c'hempennadur; ar veleien vras hag ar farizianed en em zastumas hag a yeas da gavout Pilat,The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63hag e lavarjont dezhañ: Aotrou, deuet eo da soñj deomp, penaos an trompler-se a lavare pa oa bev: A-benn tri devezh, ec'h adsavin a varv.“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Gourc'hemenn eta ma vo diwallet ar bez betek an trede deiz, gant aon na zeufe e ziskibien en noz d'e laerezh ha da lavarout d'ar bobl: Savet eo a-douez ar re varv. An tromplerezh diwezhañ-se a vefe gwashoc'h eget an hini kentañ.So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”

65Pilat a lavaras dezho: Gwarded hoc'h eus, it ha diwallit eñ evel ma karot.“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Mont a rejont eta kuit, hag e lakajont e surentez ar bez, en ur siellañ ar maen, hag o lakaat gwarded war e dro.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
