Matthew 26 (CTH)

1Jisuh ni hete lawknaw koung a dei hnukkhu, a hnukkâbangnaw koevah,When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

2Hnin hni touh a loum hnukkhu teh, ceitakhai pawi hnin ao han toe titeh na panue awh. Hattoteh tami Capa hah thingpalamnae dawk thei sak hanlah, poe e lah kaawm han atipouh.“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Hatnavah, vaihma bawinaw, cakathutkungnaw hoi kho thung e kacuenaw teh vaihma kacue Kaiaphas e toeim vah a kamkhueng awh teh,At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4Jisuh hah huenghai hoi bangtelah ne man thai vaiteh thei thai awh han tie hah a kâpankhai awh.and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

5Hatei, pawi na hnin vah man awh hanh ei sei. Tami pueng ruengrueng tet a langvaih ati awh.“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6Bethani khovah ka hrikbei e Simon im Jisuh ao navah,While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7napui buet touh ni hmuitui aphu kaawm poung e talungpangaw bom a sin teh bu a ca lahun nah a lû dawk a awi pouh.a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

8A hnukkâbangnaw ni a hmu awh navah, bangkongmaw a kaseikasak ati awh teh a lungkhuek awh.When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

9Hote hmuitui hah aphu moikapap lah yo vaiteh karoedengnaw poe hanelah ao ati awh.This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

10Jisuh ni a panue toteh hote napui hah bangkongmaw na tarawk awh. Ahni ni kai koe hnokahawi a sak toe.Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

11Karoedengnaw teh nangmouh koe doeh pou ao awh. Kai teh nangmouh koe pou kaawm mahoeh.The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

12Hete hmuitui hah ka tak dawk a awi e teh, ka ro pakawp nahanlah a rakuengnae doeh toe.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

13Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Talaivan kamthang kahawi deinae hmuen pueng koevah, hete napui pou pouk nahanelah, a hnosak e heh dei lah kaawm van han atipouh.Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

14Hatnavah a hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh thung dawk e Judah Isakarot ni vaihma bawinaw koe a cei teh,Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15Jisuh hah nangmae kut dawk na poe thai pawiteh, nangmouh ni kai hah tangka nâyittouh maw na poe awh han atipouh. Ahnimouh ni ngun tangka 30 touh na poe han atipouh awh.and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.

16Hahoi teh, Bawipa hah pahnawt thai nahanelah, Judah ni atueng kanhlongnae hah sut a ring.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

17A hnukkâbangnaw ni tonphuenhoehe pawi apasuek hnin vah, ceitakhai pawi ca nahane hmuen hah nâ e koe maw rakueng sak hanlah na ngai atipouh awh.On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

18Bawipa ni, khothung tami buet touh e im vah cet awh nateh, Bawipa ni lawk na thui e teh, a tue a hnai toe, a hnukkâbangnaw hoi cungtalah ceitakhai pawi heh nangmouh im vah ka hno awh han ati tet pouh awh, atipouh.He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”

19A hnukkâbangnaw ni a dei pouh e patetlah a sak awh teh, ceitakhai pawi hah atangcoungcalah a rakueng pouh awh.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20Tangmin lavah, a hnukkâbangnaw hlaikahni touh hoi bu cungtalah a ven awh.When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21A ca awh lahun navah Bawipa ni, atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Nangmouh thung dawk buet touh ni kai hah na pahnawt awh han atipouh.And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22Hat torei teh, a hnukkâbangnaw a lung puenghoi a mathoe awh teh, Bawipa kai maw telah lengkaleng a pacei awh.They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Bawipa ni kawlung dawk kai hoi rei ka tapu e ni kai na pahnawt han.Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah tami Capa teh ka cet han. Hatei, tami Capa ka pahnawt e teh a yawthoe. Ahni teh khe hoeh ngala pawiteh bet ahawihnawn atipouh.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.”

25Bawipa ka pahnawt e Judah Isakarot ni hai Rabbi kai maw telah a pacei navah, na dei e patetlah oe nang doeh atipouh.Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

26A ca awh lahun navah, Jisuh ni vaiyei a la teh, lunghawi lawk a dei hnukkhu, a raen teh, hete vaiyei teh ka tak doeh. Lat awh nateh cat awh, telah a hnukkâbangnaw koe atipouh.While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”

27Manang hai a la teh lunghawi lawk a dei hnukkhu ahnimanaw hah a poe teh, nangmouh pueng ni net awh.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28Hete manang teh lawkkam katha doeh. Taminaw hlout nahanlah ka rabawk e ka thi doeh.This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29Na dei pouh awh. Hete misurtui patet e a katha e misurtui nangmouh hoi cungtalah a Pa e uknaeram dawk bout ka nei hoehroukrak, atu hoi bout ka net mahoeh toe.I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

30Hahoi teh la a sak awh teh Olive Mon lah a luen awh.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Hat toteh, Cakathoung dawk a thut e teh, tukhoumkung hah hem awh vaiteh, a tunaw ni paringparang lah ao awh han ati e patetlah, sahnin tangmin lah nangmouh pueng ni kai kecu dawk na lung a pout awh han.Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32Hatei, bout ka thaw hnukkhu nangmouh hmalah, Galilee ram lah ka cei han, telah Jisuh ni atipouh.But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Hetnaw ni nang kecu dawk a lung ka pout awh nakunghai kai teh ka lung khoeroe pout mahoeh, telah Piter ni a ti.Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34Jisuh ni, atangcalah na dei pouh. Sahnin tangmin ahlui a khawng hoehnahlan kai hah vai thum touh na pahnawt han atipouh.“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35Piter ni, nang hoi rei due han nakunghai kai ni na pahnawt mahoeh bout atipouh. Alouke a hnukkâbangnaw ni hai hot patetvanlah a dei awh.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

36Hatnavah Jisuh ni Gethsemani hmuen koe ahnimouh hoi rei a pha toteh, kai teh hote hmuen koe ratoum hanlah ka cei han, hete hmuen koe la tahung awh lah a, telah a hnukkâbangnaw koe atipouh.Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Piter hoi Zebedee e a capa roi a hrawi. Hatnavah Bawipa teh a lungmathoe, lungpuen hoi ao dawkvah,He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38Jisuh ni due han totouh ka lungreithai. Hie a hmuen koe awm awh nateh kai hoi cungtalah ring awh, telah a hnukkâbangnaw kathum touh koe a dei pouh.Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Hathnukkhu hmalah hrawt bout a cei teh, a tabo laihoi oe a Pa coung thai pawiteh hete manang na takhoe pouh haw. Hatei, kaie ka ngainae patetlah tho laipalah, na ngainae patetlah tho lawiseh telah a ratoum.Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

40A hnukkâbangnaw aonae koe a pha navah, ahnimouh ni di a i takhai e a hmu navah, nangmouh ni suimilam buet touh kangna hai kai hah na ring thai awh hoeh maw.Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.

41Tacueknae koehoi na hlout thai awh nahan ratoum laihoi ring awh. Muitha ni teh a ngai poung ei, takthai ni teh coung thai hoeh telah Piter koe atipouh.“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42Hahoi bout a cei teh Oe a Pa hete manang hah ka net laipalah roun thai hoehpawiteh, na ngainae patetlah phat lawiseh telah bout a ratoum.A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43Hat hnukkhu a hnukkâbangnaw onae koe bout a tho teh, ahnimanaw teh muet bout a i awh e a hmu navah,And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44a ceitakhai teh ahmaloe a ratoum e patetlah apâthum lah bout a ratoum.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45A hnukkâbangnaw onae koe bout a tho teh, atuteh duem ip awh lawih. Tami Capa teh tamikayonnaw e kut dawk pahnawt nahane tueng teh a pha toe.Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46Thaw awh, cet a lei sei. Kai na kapahnawtkung teh a tho toe atipouh.Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

47Hottelah a dei lahun navah a hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh dawk ka bawk van e Judah Isakarot teh a tho. Vaihma bawinaw hoi khothung e tami kacuenaw ni a patoun awh e naw teh tahloi hoi bongpainaw a sin awh teh a tho awh.While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48Bawipa kapahnawtkung niyah, kai ni ka paco e teh Jisuh doeh, ahni hah man awh telah hote taminaw koe noutnae a poe e patetlah,Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49Bawipa koe rek a hnai teh, kacangkhaikung yawhawinae awmseh ati teh a paco.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50Jisuh ni ka hui bang panki e dawk maw na tho atipouh navah, hote taminaw a tho awh teh Jisuh hah a man awh.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

51Hatnavah Jisuh hnukkâbang e buet touh ni a kut a dâw teh tahloi a rasa hnukkhu, vaihma kacue e a san buet touh hah a bouk navah a hnâ thouk a pet.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Jisuh ni na tahloi hah amae tabu dawk bout tat leih. Tahloi ka patuem e tami pueng teh tahloi hoi a due awh han.“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53Atu roeroe vah a Pa koe kahei thai tie hai thoseh, kâhet pawiteh kalvan ransahuipui aphu hlaikahni touh hlak kapap lah Kai koe a patoun han tie hah nang ni na pouk hoeh maw.Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

54Hat pawiteh, Cakathoung dawk a thut e patetlah, hettelah o han tie hnonaw hah bangtelavai a kuep thai telah a ti.But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

55Hatnavah Jisuh ni Dingca man e patetlah kai man hanlah rama, bongpainaw na sin awh teh na tho a bo vaw. Kai ni Bawkim thung hnin ka due na cangkhai eiteh, nangmae rahak ka tahung navah nangmouh ni kai hah na man awh hoeh.At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.

56Hot hateh, Cakathoung akuep nahane doeh telah tami kamkhuengnaw hah a dei pouh. Hattoteh a hnukkâbangnaw pueng ni Bawipa hah parang a yawng takhai awh.But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

57Jisuh ka man e naw ni Bawipa hah, cakathutkungnaw hoi kacuenaw a kamkhuengnae vaihma kacue Kaiaphas koe a ceikhai awh.Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

58Piter hai vaihma kacue e toeim totouh, Bawipa hoi kahlat lah a kâbang. A hnukteng bangtelamaw ati awh tie a panue nahanlah athung a kâen teh ka ring e naw hoi reirei a tahung.But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

59Vaihma bawinaw hoi kacuenaw, sanhedrin lawkcengkungnaw pueng ni Jisuh thei thai nahanlah laithoe kampangkhainae a tawng awh ei hmawt awh hoeh.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

60Laithoe kampangkhai hanelah moi a tho awh ei, Bangpatete kapanuekkhaikung hai tawn awh hoeh. A hnukteng vah laithoe kampangkhaikung kahni touh a tho roi teh,But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

62Vaihma kacue ni a kangdue teh, kam touh boehai bout na dei mahoeh maw. Hetnaw ni bangtelamaw kapanuekkhaikung lah a kangdue awh, atipouh navah Jisuh teh lawkkamuem lah ao.So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63Vaihma kacue ni nang teh Cathut e Capa, Khrih hoi Khrih hoeh e hah kaimouh koe na dei nahanlah kahring Cathut noe lahoi kâ na poe atipouh.But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

64Hatnavah, Jisuh ni na dei e patetlah atueng. Hothloilah ka dei e teh, hmalae atueng dawk tami Capa ni bawilennae aranglah a tahung teh kalvan e tâmainaw dawk tahung lahoi a tho e hah na hmu awh han atipouh.“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65Hatnavah vaihma kacue ni amae angki a phi teh hete tami ni Cathut ka tapuet lah a dei toe. Bangpatet e kapanuekkhaikung maw bout a ngai rah. Cathut ka tapuet lah a dei e hah atu roeroe vah nangmouh ni na thai awh toe.At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.

66Bangtelamaw na pouk awh, atipouh navah, hotnaw ni ahni teh due han a kamcu telah bout a dei awh.What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

67Hattoteh a minhmai hah tamtui hoi a tamthawi awh.Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

68Kut hoi a thaw awh, tangawn ni a tambei awh, oe Khrih nang hah apinimaw na tambei tie hah profet lahoi dei leih, atipouh awh.and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

69Piter ni toeim alawilah longkha koe a tahung navah sannu buet touh ni a tho teh nang haiyah Galilee tami Jisuh hoi cungtalah e doeh atipouh navah,Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.

70Piter ni na dei e hah ka panuek hoeh telah taminaw e hmalah a oun.But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

71Hathnukkhu Piter ni im longkha alawilah a tâco navah alouke napui buet touh ni bout a hmu teh haw kaawm e naw koe, het haiyah Nazareth tami Jisuh hoi cungtalah e doeh atipouh.When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72Piter ni ahni hah ka panuek hoeh telah thoe a ka bo teh bout a oun.And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

74Piter ni ahni hah ka panuek hoeh ati teh thoe a kâbo. Hat nah tahma vah ahlui a khawng.At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

75Jisuh ni Ahlui a khawng hoehnahlan, vai thum touh kai hah na pahnawt han ati e lawk hah Piter ni hlawt a pouk navah alawilah a tâco teh khawngsauek laihoi a ka.Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
