1Jɔbi wi Dzini bi Blɛd wə bə ka jiə dəkə dzɔɔŋ yɛiŋ, bə nì bɔɔŋki a, Dzini bi Ntsədaŋ, bi nì kɔmsiki dzəki.Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2Bətii mfə gia bəmbum bəh bəni bə̀ bɔ nì laniki bənchi bə Nyɔ, ka nəŋki dzəh i wɔ̂ɔ Jisɔs fɛiŋ i nyumi wə, kɔm bɔ nì lwaki bəni.and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

3Satan ka liə i shɔm yi Judas wə bə nì bɔɔŋki a Iskaliɔt, num mi i mbaŋ wi bwa bə Jisɔs bə̀ jwɔfi ntsɔ bəfa.Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4Wi ka tsə i bətii mfə gia bəmbum bəh kifwu ki bəni bənchi bə̀ bɔ nì tɔkniki bəh juŋ yi fəni yi gia. Ayaka bəh bɔ ka kɛiŋsi asi wi ki nyaniki ka wi taŋni Jisɔs i bɔ.And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5Bɔ wɔkɔ ndzɔŋni ka kɛiŋsi i gɔm wi bəh kpɔ.They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6Wi bum, ka tsə yisi i nəŋki dzəh i nya Jisɔs fɛiŋ i kaŋ yibɔ wə mbaŋ wi bəni du kə fɛiŋ.Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

7Chɔkɔ biə Dzini bi Blɛd wə bə kɔ maka bə jiə dzɔɔŋ yɛiŋ, bɔ si kum waiŋ jaka kɔm bə Dzini bi Ntsədaŋ biələ jɔbi wə bi nì dzə kpɛiŋ,Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8Jisɔs ka faaŋ Bita bəh Jɔn ka dzaka a, “Mbɛiŋ tsə̂ kɛ̂iŋsi biɛiŋ biə bukumbɛiŋ ni dzî Dzini biələ yɛiŋ.”Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9Bɔ bikə i wi a, “Wɔ nəŋki a buku tsə̂ kɛ̂iŋsi num faiŋ?”“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10Wi chukuli a, “Mbɛiŋ wɔ̂kɔ, asi mbɛiŋ liəki tsəki i kwili wə, mbɛiŋ ni baŋsi bəh mi, num wi bəkə mwi i kpəŋə mə, mbɛiŋ bîəli wi i juŋ yə wi ni tsə liə yɛiŋ.He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11Jɔbi wə mbɛiŋ biəli, mbɛiŋ dzâka i tii juŋ wiwɔ a, Mi wi Lanini bikəki di bi juŋ yi bəni bə dzəni a ŋgaiŋ bəh bwa bu bə mbaŋ ni dzi Dzini bi Ntsədaŋ yɛiŋ kɔ faiŋ a?and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

12Wi ka ni chusi lum wimbum i juŋ yi bɛiŋ wə num bə kɛiŋsi jiə lɔ, mbɛiŋ ka ni tsə̂ num yɛiŋ i kɛ̂iŋsi biɛiŋ bichi.”And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

13Bɔ tsə yɛiŋ a liŋ si Jisɔs nì dzakaki i bɔ. Ayaka bɔ ka kɛiŋsi biɛiŋ bi dzini bi Dzini bi Ntsədaŋ biə fɛiŋ.So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14Jɔbi nì dzə kpɛiŋ, Jisɔs bəh bwa bu bə ntum dzə shinum ka dziki.When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

15Wi dza dzaka i bɔ a, “Mih si kɔŋki lə nalə a mih dzi Dzini bi Ntsədaŋ biələ bukumbɛiŋ ka mih yɛiŋ ŋgəkə wə wi dzəki lə.And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16Mbɛiŋ kîəki lə a mih bi chu dzi kə Bini biələ i tsə buku jɔbi wə bi bi dzə kpɛiŋki, ka Nyɔ bi sakaki ŋkuŋ bi.”For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17Wi dzɔ bwam nya kiyɔŋni i Nyɔ dzaka a, “Mbɛiŋ kɔ̂ mû tsə̂si dâŋsi mbɛiŋ bəchi.After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

18Mih fukuki i mbɛiŋ a i yisi i liə i tsə, mih ni chu mu kə mbih mi kpɛiŋ wi laani wələ na ka ŋkuŋ bi Nyɔ bi dzə.”For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19Wi dzɔ blɛd, nya kiyɔŋni i Nyɔ, gbɛyi nya i bɔ, dzaka a, “Fa kɔ gwu yiŋ, mih nyaki i mbɛiŋ, mbɛiŋ fə̂ki ayaka i kwâkaki mih.”And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

20Yi num ayaka, asi bɔ dzi kaasi kichiŋni, wi dzɔ bwam wi mbih ka dzaka a, “Bwam wələ kɔ miŋkaiŋ mi Nyɔ mimfiaŋ mə Nyɔ dzi bəh mwa məŋŋ mə mɔ shuku buku kɔm mbɛiŋ.In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.

21Ayakalə, mbɛiŋ wɔ̂kɔ mi wə wi ni taŋni mih, wi dziki lə fa bəh mih.Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

22Mbɛiŋ kîəki a mi wə yɛli wi kɔ Waiŋmi bi nyə asi Nyɔ nì sisi jiə. Ayakalə, ŋgəkə wimbum kɔ wi mi wə wi taŋni wi.”Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

23Bɔ yisi i bikəki a bɔ bɔ mi wə wi kɔ i fə̂ yələ gia i bɔ kintəəŋ akɔ ndə a?Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

24Bɔ dza yisi i ŋgukuli a bɔ bɔ a, akɔ ndə mi wimbum i bɔ kintəəŋ a?A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

25Jisɔs dzaka i bɔ a, “Bəŋkuŋ bə fa kuku kaŋaki lə ŋga i bəni bəbɔ bɛiŋ, ayaka bəni bə̀ bɔ sakaki tumi, bə bɔɔŋ bɔ a bimba bi bəni.So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

26Ayakalə, yi mɔŋ dəkə i num yaka bəh mbɛiŋ. Wəmaka mi i mbɛiŋ kintəəŋ kaŋaki i dzɔki gwu yi ka waiŋ wi nchiŋ.But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

27Mi wimbum kɔ winaiŋ, mi wə wi yəkəli ka dziki a dzini, ma mi wə wi tsəsiki dzɛiŋ a? Ntə asi num mi wə wi yəkəli ka dziki a dzini a? Ayakalə, mih kɔ i mbɛiŋ kintəəŋ ka mi wə wi nɔmki i mbɛiŋ.For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.

28Akɔ mbɛiŋ bə̀ mbɛiŋ ni numki bəh mih bəh ŋga i jɔbi wuŋ wi ŋgəkə wə wichi.You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

29Yi kɔ a liŋ asi Ba wuŋ nya mih bəh ntɔŋ a mih sakaki, mih ni nya lə tə ŋga biwɔ a mbɛiŋ i sakaki.And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

30Mih nya lə, ka bukumbɛiŋ ni dziki bə mu i di bi ntɔŋ wuŋ wə, ka mbɛiŋ bi num i biŋgbɔkɔ wə, i sakaki chwɔŋbijuŋ bi Islae biə jwɔfi ntsɔ bəfa.”so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31Jisɔs ka dza bɔɔŋ Bita a, “Samɔn, Samɔn wɔ̂kɔli, Satan dzɔ ŋga i kpəkə mbɛiŋ bəchi i bwili mbɛiŋ bədɔkɔ asi mi si kpəkə chi i gəŋ wə.Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

32Ayakalə, mih tsa i wɔ, a shɔm ya ma bûku i mih. Jɔbi wə wɔ fiəni bɔɔŋ mfi bia, wɔ nyâ ŋga i bwa bə nah.”But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33Bita dzaka a, “Bah, mih kpɛiŋniki lə i tsə nsəŋ nabə i kpi, bəh wɔ.”“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

34Jisɔs chukuli i wi a, “Bita wɔ̂kɔli, mih fukuki i wɔ, ka kwɔkɔ ni numki i tɔŋ daiŋ, wɔ ni məŋni lə mih kiŋkani kitali, a wɔ kiəki kə mih.”But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35Wi dza bikə i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ kwaka jɔbi wə mih nì faaŋ mbɛiŋ kpɔ kɔbi kiba kɔbi bəh dzuyigvu kɔbi, mbɛiŋ nì nyaniki yaka mbɛiŋ nì num dzah finə a?” Ayaka bɔ chukuli a, “Aayi, buku nì ka num dza dəkə fiɛŋ.”Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

36Wi ka dzaka i bɔ a, “I liə, mi kabə kaŋa kpɔ nabə kiba wi dzɔ̂. Mi kabə kaŋaki kə nywɔ wi jum, wi tâŋni mbuŋ wi i tâŋ.“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

37Mih dzakaki lə kɔm gia yə bə nì nyaka i Kiŋwakti ki Nyɔ wə a, ‘Bə nì fa wi bəh bəni bəchu,’ yi kaŋaki lə i kpɛiŋ kɔŋ kɔm mih i liə. Mbɛiŋ kiəki a gia yə bə nì nyaka kɔm mih yichi si dzə i kpɛiŋ”For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38Bɔ ka chiŋ təkəli dzaka a, “Bah yɛ̂iŋ, buku kaŋaki lə bənywɔ bə jum bəfa.” Wi chukuli a, “Mbɛiŋ bêe yaka.”So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

39Jisɔs ka dza buku i kwili wiwɔ wə bəh bwa bu bə mbaŋ, ka yisi i yakaki tsəki i ŋkwuŋ wi kɛiŋ yi Ɔlif wə, num asi wi si shi fə.Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

40Bɔ yaka tsə buku i di biə bɔ nì tsəki, wi dzaka i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ tsâki ka kimɔmsi ma dzə i mbɛiŋ, i gaka mbɛiŋ.”When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

41Si wi dzaka yakadəiŋ, wi dza nyə i bɔ kpəŋ, ka kini tsə, asi mi kɔ i tum təh a wi tsə buku, ka tum binyu i kuku ka tsa Nyɔ a,And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

42“Ba wuŋ, wɔ kabə kɔŋ, wɔ dzɔ̂ bwîli bwam wi ŋgəkə wələ i mih wə. Ayakalə fə̂ asi wɔ kɔŋki a kɔbi si mih kɔŋki.” [“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43Si wi tsa yakadəiŋ, chinda wi Nyɔ shi dzə i wi wə, nya wi bəh ŋga.Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

44Jisɔs nì kɔ shɔm yi nya ŋgəkə nalə. Wi chu tsa na bəh ŋga ka bɔɔŋŋki, kiliəkə bə́ təkə i kuku aka mwa.]And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45Wi tsa kaasi, fiəni dzə i bwa bu bə mbaŋ wə, yɛiŋ num nshɛiŋ fə bɔ bɔh ka nɔki.When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46Wi bikə i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ nɔki lɔ nɔni a? Mbɛiŋ dzâ bɛiŋ mbɛiŋ tsâki ka kimɔmsi ma dzə i mbɛiŋ, i gaka mbɛiŋ.”“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

47Asi wi nì kɛiŋki wi dzaka, mbaŋ wi bəni dzə buku a num lɔ Judas, wə wi nì kɔ mi i mbaŋ wi bwa bə Jisɔs bə̀ jwɔfi ntsɔ bəfa, a num wi i ninshiŋ. Wi tsə kɔmsi i Jisɔs wə ka maŋni wi.While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48Ayakalə, Jisɔs bikə i Judas a, “Wɔ nəŋki i maŋni mi wə yɛli wi kɔ Waiŋmi i chusi a bə kwa a?”But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49Bwa bu bə mbaŋ bə̀ bɔ nì kɔ i wi kpəŋ yɛiŋ gia yə yi nəŋki i num, bikə a, “Bah, buku gbâyi bəni bələ a?”Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

50Mi widɔkɔ i bɔ kintəəŋ ka gba chwiŋ bwili kintuni ki tsɛiŋ yiləkəli yi mfa wi fwu wi bətii mfə gia.And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51Jisɔs kaŋyi a, “Kiə mi ki chu mɔ̂m kə,” ka kɔm kintuni ki mi wiwɔ ki ka fiəni num fɛiŋ.But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52Bəni bə̀ bɔ nì dzə i kwa Jisɔs nì kɔ bətii mfə gia bəmbum, bəh kifwu ki bəni bənchi, bəh bə̀ bɔ nì tɔkniki bəh juŋ yi fəni yi gia, bəh bəni bə̀ bɔ nì sakaki tumi. Wi bikə i bɔ a, “Mbɛiŋ dzəki i kwa mih, ka dzəki num bəh bənywɔ bəh bibɔkɔ ka mbɛiŋ dzəki i kwa num ji a?Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?

53Mih nì kɔ bəh mbɛiŋ chɔksi chɔksi i juŋ yi fəni yi gia mə, mbɛiŋ kɔbi i kɔm mih kɔm nə a? Ayakalə, i liə kɔ jɔbi wimbɛiŋ wə mbɛiŋ kɔ i fə gia yɛiŋ, a num jɔbi wi ŋga bi jisi.”Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”

54Bəni bəwɔ ka kwa Jisɔs tsə bəh wi i kwili wi fwu wi bətii mfə gia wə, Bita biəli i jum wə i dzəh yi dəəŋ.Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

55Bɔ tsə kpa gbuku i kintəəŋ ki tɔkɔ wə shinum ka jɔkɔki. Bita dzə shinum bəh bɔ.When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56Si gbuku wiwɔ nì bɛli, waiŋkpaŋni widɔkɔ wə wi nì nɔmki i kwili wiwɔ wə dza yɛiŋ Bita si wi shinum. Wi tsɛiŋ wi i dzəkəh wə bindzɔŋ dzaka a, “Mi wələ si kɔlə tə bəh mi wiwɔ.”A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

57Bita ka nəiŋ dzaka a, “Kpaŋa wələ, mih kiəki kə mi wələ.”But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

58Asi jɔbi tsə twɛsi, mi widɔkɔ chu yɛiŋ wi, ka dzaka a, “Wɔ kɔ mi i mbaŋ wibɔ wə tə.” Ayaka Bita dzaka a, “Nyuku wələ, mih kɔkə mi wibɔ.”A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59Asi mbiəŋə wimu tsə, mi widɔkɔ ka chu bwaŋ alə a, “Ŋkɔŋ ŋkɔŋ mi wələ si kɔlə bəh mi wiwɔ, kɔm wi kɔ mi wi Galili.”About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

60Bita chukuli a, “Nyuku wələ, mih kiəki kə gia yə wɔ dzakaki yaka.” Asi wi nì kɛiŋki wi dzaka yaka, kwɔkɔ ka tɔŋ.“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61Bah fiəni gwu, dzə́kəh yibɔ Bita baŋsi, Bita kwaka ja yə Bah si dzaka i wi a, “Ka kwɔkɔ ni tɔŋ daiŋ a ni numki num wɔ nəiŋ lɔ mih i kiŋkani kitali wə.”And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

62Bita nyə fɛiŋ buku tsə i biŋ, ka də nalə.And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63Bəni bə̀ bɔ nì chəniki Jisɔs ka yisi i fəki nshəŋ i wi, twɛiŋ wi.The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64Bɔ baŋ shi bi bəh mbuŋ, twɛiŋ wi dzaka i wi a, “Fûku la ntum wi Nyɔ wa wə i liə. Kâŋsi i buku mi wə wi twɛiŋ wɔ.”They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65Bɔ lɔyi wi bəh ja yiduli.And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66Si chɔkɔ ni wɔɔ, bəni bə̀ bɔ sakaki tumi bəh bətii mfə gia bəmbum bəh bəni bə̀ bɔ laniki bənchi bə Nyɔ, bɔ juŋni gwu yibɔ bɔ bəchi, ka dzɔ Jisɔs dzə bəh wi i di biə bə si saka bənsaka.At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,

67Si bɔ tsə bəh wi yaka, bɔ dzaka i wi a, “A kabə num wɔ Kimbwili wə Nyɔ nì kaka wɔ fûku i buku.” Wi chukuli i bɔ a, “Mih ka fuku i mbɛiŋ, mbɛiŋ ma ni bum mih.“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

68Ayaka mih ka bikə gia i mbɛiŋ, mbɛiŋ ma ni chukuli.And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69Ayakalə, i yisi i liə, mi wə yɛli wi kɔ Waiŋmi ni num i kimbu ki tsɛiŋ yiləkəli yi Nyɔ wə wi kaŋaki ŋga.”But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70Bɔ bəchi ka dzaka a “Akɔ a wɔ Waiŋ Nyɔ a?” Wi chukuli i bɔ a, “Yi kɔ asi mbɛiŋ dzaka”So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

71Ayaka bɔ ka dzaka a, “Bə chu nəiŋki mi a wi dzə dzaka a nə a? Bə wɔkɔ lɔ ndzaka wə wi buku i dzaka ka wə.”“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
