Matthew 27 (GEL)

1Da-u̱ is gase̱ u̱r-wu̱n, se̱ yu̱-Yat-ya a-to̱o̱g-ne̱, u̱t-ne̱nge̱n ne̱ e̱ e̱ ye u̱s-rem u̱zu̱ e̱ ho̱ Ye̱so̱.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Se̱ e̱ gu̱g wu̱n, e̱ aru̱k u̱ wu̱n ne̱ m-ha u̱du̱ Biratus, wa-u-dak yu̱ Roma.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Da-u̱ Yahudas wu̱ yase̱ wu̱n na hoot, hyane̱ na kwu̱pku̱ u̱s-rem u̱zu̱ na ho̱ Ye̱so̱, se̱ wa sur m-dorog. Wa mu̱u̱n u̱du̱ i-Yate̱ a-To̱o̱g-ne̱, u̱t-ne̱nge̱n ne̱, wa muutu̱ u̱n ko̱nko̱ shik-u̱ u̱n u̱r-shik u̱ o̱p.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.

4Wa zu̱, <<U̱m no̱ng u̱t-ba'as, u̱m ya'aste̱ wa za u̱t-ba'as na ho̱.>> Se̱ e̱ zu̱ wu̱n, <<¿Bu̱-m it mu̱ yu̱? Se̱se̱ su̱ ró se̱.>>“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Se̱ wa gun shik-u̱ u̱-me̱ be-du̱ u̱r-shu̱'u̱t du̱ Wa-ko̱-uyan. Wa aru̱k m-rwu̱, wa su̱rgu̱sse̱ hi-u̱r wa u-ho, wa mu̱r.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Ku̱na i-Yate̱ a-To̱o̱g-ne̱ kooste̱ shik-u̱ e̱, e̱ zu̱, <<No̱ng u̱r-zwar na muut shik-u̱ e̱ u̱ cu̱n-du̱ be-du̱ u̱r-shu̱'u̱t du̱ Wa-ko̱-uyan da, remu̱ zu̱ shik m-hyu̱ e̱.>>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.”

7E̱ ye u̱s-rem, e̱ o de̱ku̱n be-de̱, remu̱ zu̱ e̱ muute̱ be-u̱r re̱ be-du̱ jwak-du̱ u̱t-hamu̱t ne̱ a e̱ mare̱. Na zu̱ be-u̱r re̱, be-du̱ wa ma-u̱ u̱t-tur.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Remu̱ iya, na o̱mnu̱ fag-du̱ be-u̱r re̱, Be-du̱ m-Hyu̱.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Iya o̱ na shu̱u̱ste̱ no̱m-u̱ wa-warru̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ Irmiya ware̱ u̱zu̱, <<Na kabu̱g ko̱nko̱ shik u̱r-shik u̱ o̱p , shik-u̱ Isra-ne̱ zu̱ na to̱p-u̱ remu̱ rò.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,

10Se̱ e̱ o be-du̱ wa ma-u̱ u̱t-tur u̱ shik-u̱ e̱, u̱ka rem-su̱ Yawe zu̱tte̱.>>and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Ye̱so̱ o̱ ees u̱ shu̱ faru̱k wa-u-dak, wa shit Ye̱so̱ u̱zu̱, <<¿Bo̱ wa o̱ faru̱k-u̱ Yahuda-ne̱?>> Ye̱so̱ zu̱, <<Bo̱ waru̱g.>>Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Se̱di da i-Yate̱ a-To̱o̱g-ne̱ u̱ u̱t-ne̱nge̱n ne̱ ke̱tu̱ Ye̱so̱ u̱s-rem, u zu̱u̱g o̱ko̱n da.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Se̱ Biratus zu̱ wu̱n, <<¿Bo̱ ho̱k no̱m-u̱t tun-to̱ tu̱ na zu̱ bo̱ no̱mu̱g da?>>Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Ye̱so̱ shaku̱s ko̱ u̱r-shu̱t u̱r-gan da. Remu̱ iya wa-u-dak hu̱ mu̱rimmo̱ sok.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Wa-u-dak ve̱k-u̱t u̱ da-u̱ Mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱r-Pas u-be̱e̱t, wa restu̱n wa-gan u̱ te̱k-u̱ ne̱t-tu̱ o̱ tage̱ wu̱ ne̱t-tu̱ u̱t-sa.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16U̱ da-u hen, waku̱n o̱ro u̱ tage̱ wu̱ kowan nape̱ wa u̱t-ba'as wa, na zu̱ wa Barabas.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Da-u̱ ne̱t-tu̱ mo̱rge̱, se̱ Biratus zu̱ u̱n, <<¿Wana no̱ u̱t-sa na restu̱n no̱? ¿Barabas wa ko̱ Ye̱so̱ wu̱ na zu̱ Kiristi?>>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?”

18Biratus zu̱u̱g iya, remu̱ zu̱ Biratus nak u̱zu̱ rem u̱r-shu̱b de̱ na ya'aste̱ Ye̱so̱.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Da-u̱ Biratus shu̱'u̱te̱ u̱ be-du̱ kwu̱p-du̱ u̱s-remu̱ wa, se̱ ne̱ta wa to̱mo̱n na waru̱ wa u̱zu̱, <<Ruute̱ kom-u̱t ró u̱ rem-su̱ wa za u̱t-ba'asu̱ wa, remu̱ iya o̱ u̱m soote̱ u̱r-ko̱b sok m-gyu̱p u̱ bo'-u̱ mo̱ttu̱ ne̱tu̱ wa.>>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.”

20Ku̱na i-Yate̱ a-To̱o̱g-ne̱ u̱t-ne̱nge̱n ne̱ tokte̱ u̱t-ne̱t u̱zu̱ na restu̱n Barabas, na ho̱ Ye̱so̱.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Wa-u-dak sur m-zu̱, <<¿Wana u̱m de̱ restu̱n no̱, u̱ te̱k-u̱ ne̱t-u̱t tun-to̱?>> E̱ zu̱, <<Barabas wa!>>“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Se̱ Biratus zu̱ u̱n, <<¿Yan o̱ u̱m de̱ no̱mu̱ Ye̱so̱ wu̱ na zu̱ Kiristi?>> E̱ be̱e̱t kowan zu̱, <<Tar wu̱n u-kan!>>“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Biratus zu̱, <<¿Remu̱ u-yane̱? ¿Yan o̱ wa no̱me̱ u̱ yo̱-o̱?>> Ne̱t-tu̱ sur m-yu̱ns u̱s-cwar u̱zu̱, <<Tar wu̱n u-kan!>>“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Da-u̱ Biratus hyane̱ wa kerge̱ swan-du̱ hi-tu̱ u̱t-ne̱t da, tu̱msu̱ ne̱t-tu̱ o̱ mo̱t-tu̱ yu̱nsu̱ gwu̱z u̱ku̱n, se̱ wa yib m-bu̱ wa jaas ko̱m-u̱t wa u̱ hyan-mu̱ u̱t-ne̱t. Wa zu̱, <<Me̱ bu̱-m ri zarra, u̱m kabu̱g ra-u̱ wa za u̱t-ba'asu̱ unwa ne̱ da. No̱ wa.>>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.”

25Se̱ ne̱t-u̱t to̱ u̱t-be̱e̱t e̱ yu̱ns u̱s-cwar u̱zu̱, <<Yage̱ ra-u o̱ u̱ do̱r it u̱ ya'ag-u̱ it ne̱!>>All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Se̱ wa restu̱n u̱n Barabas. Da-u̱ wa wa'e̱ na no̱mu̱ Ye̱so̱ u̱s-ryap, se̱ wa yasu̱ wu̱n na tar wa u-kan.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Du̱gu̱ ku̱n karma-ne̱ i wa-u-dak ku̱b Ye̱so̱ e̱ toot u̱ pada-u wa-u-dak, e̱ kargu̱ssu̱n karma-ne̱ u-tát u̱du̱ Ye̱so̱.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28E̱ horom wu̱n u̱t-cwu̱, e̱ wa'-u̱ wu̱n yaku̱n to̱ggo̱-u jaz-ya go̱-du̱ yu̱ farkina-ne̱.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29E̱ no̱mu̱ de̱ku̱n no̱m-du̱ u̱r-hi du̱ u̱s-hir de̱ go̱-du̱ farkina-ne̱, e̱ wa'-u̱ wu̱n u̱r-hi, e̱ yasu̱ wu̱n u-ko̱m wa ship u̱ kom u̱s-cwa rò, e̱ so̱k-u̱t u̱ ke̱nu̱ rò e̱ no̱m wu̱n huuk-tu̱ u̱s-bi, e̱ o̱ zu̱ wu̱n, <<Ho̱'o̱ faru̱k-u̱ Yahuda-ne̱!>>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!”

30E̱ to̱p-su̱ wu̱n m-ta, e̱ o̱nk ko̱m-yu̱ e̱ yasu̱ wu̱n, e̱ hu̱ gapru̱ wu̱n u̱ ya u̱r-hi.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Da-u̱ e̱ tase̱ no̱mu̱ wu̱n u̱s-ju̱ru̱m, e̱ for to̱ggo̱-u jaz-ya ya, e̱ wa-u̱ wu̱n cwu̱-u̱t rò. E̱ aru̱k u̱ wu̱n ne̱ remu̱ na tu̱r-u̱t wu̱n u-kan.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.

32U̱n o̱ te̱k-u̱ m-ha, u̱n goone̱ u̱ yaku̱n campa-ya ne̱ ne̱t-u̱ bo̱-u̱ Sayirin, dim-u̱r Simo̱n. E̱ wu̱ wa u̱ kab-du̱ kan-u Ye̱so̱ u̱r-be̱b.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33E̱ te de̱ku̱n be-de̱ du̱ na zu̱ye̱ Gorgota, (na zu̱ de̱ <<Ko̱g-du̱ u̱r-Hi>>).And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34E̱ ye' wu̱n bu̱-mu̱ ke̱' u̱r-waak u̱t-gag ne̱ u̱ remu̱ wa soot. Da-u̱ wa rake̱, wa gu̱gu̱m u̱t-swa.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Da-u̱ e̱ taru̱ wu̱n u-kan, se̱ e̱ gun u-kwe̱mbi e̱ mo̱t to̱ggo̱-u rò.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36A tase̱ u̱n shu̱'u̱t u̱ku̱n u̱n o̱ er-u̱r wu̱n.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37U̱ do̱m-u̱ hi-u̱r rò, u̱n pu̱n ba'as-tu̱ wa no̱me̱ u̱zu̱, <<UNWA O̱ YE̱SO̱ FARU̱K-U̱ YAHUDA-NE̱.>>Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Tu̱msu̱ na tu̱r Ye̱so̱ u̱ e̱ke̱n ne̱ hyu̱w-ne̱ yu̱r, wa-gan u̱ kom u̱s-cwa wa-gan u̱ kom u̱r-beer.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Ne̱t-tu̱ o̱ aru̱k e̱ hu̱ ru̱m-su̱ u̱t-hi u̱ no̱mu̱ wu̱n u̱s-ju̱ru̱m,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40e̱ o̱ u̱t-zu̱, <<Bo̱ yu̱ do̱'e̱ ru̱-du̱ be-du̱ u̱r-shu̱'u̱t du̱ Wa-ko̱-uyan, tu̱msu̱ bo̱ ma o̱ u̱ te̱k-u̱ m-roog u̱t-tu̱t, gu hi-du̱ war ró! Abite̱ bo̱ Wa'-u̱ u-Ru̱ wa, cu̱zne̱ u̱ do̱m u-kan.>>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!”

41Iya o̱ hen, i-Yate̱ a-To̱o̱g-ne̱ a-ko̱se̱-tu̱ bo̱r-u̱t Mosa ne̱ u̱t-ne̱nge̱n ne̱ hu̱u̱te̱ no̱mu̱ wu̱n u̱s-ju̱ru̱m.In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42E̱ o̱ u̱t-zu̱, <<Wa gwu̱g e̱ke̱n, tu̱msu̱ wa kerge̱ gwu̱du̱ hi-u̱r wa da. Abite̱ wu̱n faru̱k-u̱ Isra-ne̱ wa, yage̱ wa cu̱zu̱n u̱-do̱m u-kan na hyan, da-u o̱ it de̱ yadu̱ jab-u̱ wu̱n ne̱!“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.

43Wa ya'aste̱ jab u̱du̱ u-Ru̱. Yage̱ Ru̱-u̱ gu wu̱n u̱ da-o̱, a u u̱t-sa, wa zu̱u̱g Wa'-u̱ u-Ru̱ wa o̱ye̱.>>He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Iya o̱, hyu̱w-ne̱ e̱, i na taru̱ e̱ u-kan u̱r-kot, e̱ no̱ngu̱ wu̱n gom-u̱ rim-o̱.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45U̱ te̱k-u̱ u-ho̱, cwu̱m-yu̱ tage̱ u-dak u-be̱e̱t, m-te̱ kwam-su̱ u̱s-tu̱t su̱ m-rim.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46U̱ te̱k-u̱ u̱s-kwam u̱s-tu̱t, Ye̱so̱ jaku̱s u-cwar wa zu̱, <<E̱ri, E̱ri, ¿Rama sabaktani?>> Wata, <<Ru̱-u ri, Ru̱-u ri, ¿remu̱ yan o̱ bo̱ yaktu̱ me̱?>>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?”

47Ne̱t-tu̱ o̱o̱ge̱ ees u̱ku̱n da-u̱ e̱ ho̱ge̱ iya, e̱ zu̱, <<Ne̱t uno̱ o̱ fag-du̱ Iriya.>>When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Du̱gu̱ ku̱n waku̱n yu̱ne̱ za naas u-da wa kabu̱n soso. Wa mu̱s de̱ u̱-me̱ bu̱-mu̱ u-zu̱r, wa su̱k-de̱ u̱ do̱m u-te wa nabu̱ wu̱n wa soot.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.

49E̱ke̱n zu̱, <<Yagu̱n wu̱n u̱su̱ rò, na hyan ko̱ Iriya u̱t-haan wa gu wu̱n!>>But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Se̱ Ye̱so̱ sur m-yu̱ns u-cwar u̱r-be̱b ne̱, du̱gu̱ ku̱n wa ku̱b u̱r-fat.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51U̱ da-u o̱ kus-u̱ u-is u̱ na erge̱ u-me̱ be-du̱ u-he̱n du̱ be-du̱ u̱r-shu̱'u̱t du̱ Wa-ko̱-uyan o̱ kees u̱t-kik u̱t-yu̱r, du̱gu̱ do̱m u-ru̱ m-cu̱z u-dak. Na no̱m ru̱mu̱s-du̱ u-dak, tu̱msu̱ tar-tu̱ yo̱'o̱k.At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52Sag-tu̱ u-pus, ne̱t-tu̱ u-Ru̱ u-tát i mare̱ e̱ yu̱ne̱ u̱r-fat.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53(Da-u̱ e̱ bite̱ Ye̱so̱ yu̱nge̱ du̱gu̱ m-mar, e̱ yage̱ u̱t-sag. Se̱ e̱ to u̱ bo̱-u̱ u-he̱n, u̱t-ne̱t u-tát e̱ hyen u̱n.)After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54U̱ da-u̱ yaku̱n yu̱-shu̱ karma Roma u̱ e̱ke̱n karma-ne̱, i o̱ e-u̱r Ye̱so̱ e̱ hyen no̱mu̱ nome̱ u-be̱e̱t, e̱ hog u-gye̱r sok. E̱ zu̱, <<U̱t-nip, unwa Wa'-u̱ u-Ru̱ wa!>>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.”

55To̱ko̱n ne̱ta to̱ o̱ro u̱ku̱n u-tát tu̱ do̱ru̱ Ye̱so̱ du̱gu̱ Gariri e̱ o̱ no̱mu̱ wu̱n u̱s-pama. E̱ ees m-ra e̱ o̱ madi-du̱ no̱mu̱ na o̱ u̱t-no̱m.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56U̱ te̱k-u̱ u̱n, Me̱ri o̱ro du̱gu̱ Magadarin, u̱ Me̱ri ino-u Yakubu u̱ Yusuhu, tu̱msu̱ ino-u yagu̱ Zabadi.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

58Wa do̱'e̱ u̱du̱ Biratus, wa kon u̱zu̱ na ya wa u-u̱r Ye̱so̱. Biratus hen wa zu̱ na yasu̱ wu̱n u̱r-u.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Se̱ Yusuhu ku̱b u-u̱r re̱ wa ho̱po̱s de̱ u̱ kus-u pus-o̱ u̱ so̱-o̱.So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60Wa gu̱n u-u̱r re̱ u̱-me̱ sag-u po-o̱ wa, u̱ na kawe̱ u̱-me̱ u̱t-tar. Wa kabu̱n ta'ar-u̱r yat-de̱ wa wu̱gu̱b is-yu̱ u-sag, wa aru̱k.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.

61Me̱ri Magadarin u̱ inya jit Me̱ri ya, e̱ o̱ shu̱'u̱t u̱ dapu̱s u-sag.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Da-u̱ is gase̱, ba ho̱-du̱ u̱t-zo̱ng arke̱, i-Yate̱ a-To̱o̱g-ne̱ u̱ Farisa-ne̱ e̱ mo̱ro̱g u̱ shu̱ Biratus.The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63U̱n haan u̱du̱ wa-u-dak u̱n zu̱, <<It baku̱ste̱ u̱zu̱ da-u̱ ne̱t unwa wa u̱s-bi o̱o̱ge̱ u̱r-fat wa zu̱u̱g, <U̱m de̱ u̱r-yu̱ne̱ du̱gu̱ m-mar u̱ ho̱-du̱ u-tu̱tu̱rse̱.>“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

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.”

65Biratus zu̱ u̱n, <<Sa'an karma-ne̱, e̱ do̱'e̱ e̱ no̱m u̱r-e' u̱ka no̱ hyente̱ kamu̱g.>>“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Se̱ e̱ aru̱k, e̱ wo ge̱r u̱-do̱mu̱ ta'ar-du̱ o̱ do̱m-u̱ u-sag taas u̱ waku̱n u̱ tam da, tu̱msu̱ e̱ wo karma-ne̱ e'-du̱ sag-u o̱.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
