Matthew 27 (GHN)

1Na volavolaza leana za qari varikamu ria na kuta iama beto ria na tiolata matamata, ko qari kole varingodoni kaki roquroqu vei beto mari vaukea i Jisu qari gua.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Beto za qari piua i Jisu ko qari toka laoni ti Paelati na qavuna.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Ego tonai za gilagilai i Jiudasi, aza za gabala kanai i Jisu, za tapitu ko mina tavauke i Jisu, nari za roqu mule aza ko za pogozo mule laodi tadiria na kuta iama beto na tiolata matamata za ka uengavuluputa poata siliva,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.

4ari za gua vei, <<Qa sela ara, ura na tinoni tuvizina za qa gabala kanai ara ko mina tavauke,>> za gua. Nari ari qari guni vei ria aza, <<Ko ae mami veini gami? Aza na mua ginugua tu makamu ao aza,>> qari guni.“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Nari za lao gona paleni pa zelepade madina i Jiudasi za na poata, beto za taloi keni boru ukenana.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Ko qari tekua ria na kuta iama za na poata, beto ari qari gua vei, <<Na poata laona na orungu za ari, ko nake tavamalumuna pana Vavanau za mina tavalao pa poata ruma zelepade,>> qari gua.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.”

7Ko qari varingodoni ria za na roquroquna na poata aza ko qari vaini maka iapeki kobu pezo tana tinoni za roiti raro patu, ko ketakoi za na varivarigolomona tadiria na tinoni gotodi.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Zara za vei ko na ia aza za qari vaizongoni na Kobu Pezo Orungu, ko za korapa kole tinganai za kamua tu pa rane pa ngenari ani aza.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Ko za gore votu tugu za na korokorotai aza za lame vei ti Jeremae na tinoni korokorotai, ari za gua vei, <<Ko qari tekuria za ka uengavuluputa poata siliva, na vaina aza qari malumu vaini ria na tinoni Izireli,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,

10ko qari vaini iapeki kobu pezo tana tinoni roiti raro patu, aza za garununiziu na Bangara ara ko mana roitini,>> za gua.and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Ego ko za lao turu pa moena i Paelati na qavuna i Jisu, ko za nanazia na qavuna aza, <<Na bangara tugu tadiria na Jiu ao?>> za guni. Nari ari za gua vei i Jisu, <<Aza tugu qu pojai ao zana,>> za guni.Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Tonai qari jutuni doru paranga ria na kuta iama beto na tiolata matamata, za zake pavu oeria i Jisu ria.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Nari za parangia i Paelati aza, <<Ae vei, quke nongororia ao za doru zakazava qari jutunigo zara?>> za guni.Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Ba kepore tugu za maka pakata paranga peki bi oe laoni i Jisu, ko ketakoi za gabara jola za na qavuna.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Ego pa doru totozo vavolo Alokata za na nana tutina tugu na qavuna za boka ruvata vadi ria na tinoni Jiu za maka tinoni tapiuna mari tepai.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Ko pa totozo aza za kolenana za maka tinoni tapiuna na tagilagila valeanana za maka tinoni ikikerena jola aza, na izongona i Jisu Barabasi.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Ko totonai qari lao varikamu beto ria doru tinoni za nanazaria i Paelati ria, <<I zei ari kori za gamu nyoroguani gamu ba ruvata vadigamu ara? I Jisu Barabasi ba i Jisu aza za tapoja na Karisito?>> za gua.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?”

18Ura za gilagila valeanarianana i Paelati ari ka viza tiolata matamata za qari konoa gu i Jisu ko vei za qari loi laoni tana.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Totonai za korapa nyumunana pa nana nyumunyumuna pa ia varivaritutina i Paelati, za garunu laoni na maqotana tana za maka nongoro, ari za gua vei, <<Muke kotia ao na tinoni tuvizina zana, ura kubo zakazava varivatakulangadi za qa putagitaria ara pa bongi na veveina na tinoni zana,>> za gua.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.”

20Ego pa totozo aza za ria na kuta iama beto na tiolata matamata za qari paranga sorisoriria ria na minete tinoni, ko mari parangia tugu i Paelati ko mi ruvatia i Barabasi goto i Jisu za mina tavauke tugu qari gua.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Ba i Paelati za nanazaria mule ria na minete tinoni, <<I zei ari kori ari za gamu nyoroguani gamu ko ba ruvata vadigamu ara?>> za gudi. Nari za, <<I Barabasi!>> qari gua.“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Nari za parangaria i Paelati ria, <<Ko ae mana veini ara i Jisu aza za tapoja na Karisito?>> za gua. Nari za qari oe lao ria doru, <<Aza za mi tavauke gu pa korosi!>> qari gua.“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Ba za nanaza liguria mutugu i Paelati ria, <<Na sela za za roitini aza?>> za gudi. Ba totonai za qari velavela vaiolo viviva ria, ari qari gua vei, <<Vaukea pa korosi!>> qari gua.“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Totonai za dogoro gilagilai i Paelati za kepore mule maka za mina boka roitini aza goto na varipera gu za pala mina podo za gua, nari za lao nobu pie ko za loqa lima pa moedi ria na minete tinoni, beto ari za paranga vei, <<Ara za qa talegazani za na uke tana tinoni ani! Koviria za na miu ginugua tu makamiu gamu ani,>> za gua aza.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.”

25Qari paranga ria na minete tinoni doruna, <<Leana, gami beto ria na tumami mami gozoroni vinakilasa za na uke tana tinoni zana!>> qari gua.All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Ko za garunuria i Paelati ria na solodia ko qari ruvatia i Barabasi, beto za pa liguna qari iruni variiriruna i Jisu za loi lao vadi ko mari vaukea za gua.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Beto za qari toka laoni ria na solodia ti Paelati pa kakabaarena na ruma tana qavuna i Jisu, ko qari lao turu varilivutai betoni ria na minete solodia doruna aza.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Qari jokolo vagore pale za nana poko, beto qari vazae sogani maka poko gojo jemejemerena.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Beto qari tekua na kae suvege variokana ko qari polo vadididolai varipilupiluaini beto za qari vasolapani pa batuna, beto qari tekua maka kolu ko qari vaaruni pa lima kale matuana. Beto za qari kole totodongo pa moena ko qari kole vavagoreni qera, ari qari gua vei, <<Mi toa vakakaza tu na bangara tadiria na Jiu!>> qari gua.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!”

30Beto za qari tue taria, beto qari majai na batuna.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Pa liguna qari beto vavagoreni qera veini zara, za qari vagore pale za na poko jemere qari vazaeni, ko qari vazae sogani nana poko, beto za qari toka votu laoni ko mari vaukea pa korosi qari gua.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.

32Ego totonai qari taloi keni za qari lao gozoria za maka tinoni pa Saerini, na izongona i Saimone. Qari juju tarini ko qari vapogozoni aza ria na solodia za na korosi ti Jisu.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Qari lao kamua ria za maka ia na izongona pa Qoloqota, na ginuana za na Kota Batu Tomete.And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34Pa ia ketakoi za qari vani na vaini aza qari varisomanaini na zakazava pazana za vamalibua na vitigi. Ba tonai za gilagilai na lingilingina za paza nari za dainana bukua.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Qari vaukea pa korosi ria aza, beto za qari gonani na patu mijamijata ko qari mijatia i zei mina tekuria ria nana poko.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Beto nari za qari kole nyumu dogoro kopuni.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Qari kuti vakolea pa korosi pa toto batuna pa narena aza ria na paranga za tajutuni aza, ari za gua vei: ANI I JISU NA BANGARA TADIRIA NA JIU.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Ko qari makarai vauke tavitini aza za kori tinoni raja ikikodi, maka keta pa kale matuana, maka keta pa kale merina.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Ria na tinoni qari rerege jola za qari begobegolo beto bekubekuturia na batudi beto qari au beto poja vikevikere pale i Jisu,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40ari qari gua vei, <<Ao na tinoni muna jegaria na zelepade madina beto pa rane vinaue muna roiti sogani qu gua! Ego tu mu alo mulenigo makamu vei muna Tuna na Tamaza ao. Mu tavizu goremua pa korosi!>> qari guni.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!”

41Ko ria na kuta iama, ria qari varivagigalaini na Vavanau beto ko ria na tiolata matamata ba qari kole ngangangulu veini tugu zara i Jisu, ari qari gua vei,In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42<<Na goto tinoni tu za aloria, goto makana zake boka alo muleni makana! Na Bangara pa Izireli aza za gua ke! Ko koviria mi tavizu gore lagere tu pa korosi ko tavazozotoa.“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.

43Za rangea ko na Tamaza beto makana ba, <Ara za na Tuna na Tamaza,> za gua. Ko aria ko tadogodogoro kopuni moko! Mina nyorogua tugu beka aloa na Tamaza aza!>> qari gua.He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Ari kori tinoni raja ikikodi qari titi tavitia aza pa kori kalena ba qari somana paranga ngangangulu veini tugu aza.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Ego podalai na korapa rane za udea na rodomo kunikuni za na doru kota, ko za kole rodomo pada kue aoa.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Ko za kamua padapada vei kue koloko za kukuku lukana i Jisu, <<Elai, Elai, Lama Sabakatani?>> za gua. (Na ginuana za ari za gua vei, <<Qua Tamaza, qua Tamaza! Ae za vei ko qu loi paleniziu tu ao?>> za gua.)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?”

47Kaki ria qari korapa turu ketakoi za qari nongoriadia za paranga vei zara aza, ko qari paranga ria, <<Na tinoni zana za korapa kukua i Elaija,>> qari gua.When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Ko maka ria za siqarai abutu lao tekua maka poko, ko za vatubuluni maka buku pazana, ko za vakolea pa uquna na kolu, beto za alaka zaeni ko mi vabukua za gua.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.

49Ba qari paranga ria kaki, <<Loia ko! Tadogodogoria mae, palu pala mina kamu aloa i Elaija zana!>> qari gua.But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Beto za maka lukana vaiolo viviva i Jisu, beto za loia na singo.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Ko pana totozo tugu aza za na toba poko babana za piko pa ia madina pa zelepade za tarikataori, za podalai tu pa nulu ko za gore tu kamu pa uquna pa pezo. Ko za jojou za na pezo ko qari tapaqapaqala za na patu,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52ria na bevi varivarigolomona za qari tajejegara ko qari tarevanga, ko na motadi ria na tinoni tana Tamaza qari tori uke tu pa moa za qari tavatoa mule.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Ko qari turu taloi pa dia bevi, ko pa liguna za turu mule i Jisu za qari luge lao pa guguzu tabuna pa Jerusalema, ko qari batiria ria na mota tinoni suveredi ketakoi.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Na tinoni matamata gogoto beto ko ria na tinoni varipera qari suvere tavitia aza ko qari kole kopuni i Jisu za qari matagutu vitivitigi totonai qari vagilagilai na nunu beto doru zakazava qari taroiti, ko qari paranga ria, <<Zozoto na Tuna tugu na Tamaza za na tinoni ani!>> qari gua.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.”

55Ego na motadi ria na reko qari rererege tavitia i Jisu na koko lame veidi pa Qalili ko qari tokatokani aza za qari kole tugu suveredia ketakoi. Qari turu pa zouna ko qari kole dogodogoro lao.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Ko ari Mere pa guguzu Magadalene, i Mere na tinadi ari Jekopi i Josepa, beto na maqotana i Jebeti za qari kole tugu suvere varisomanaidia tadiria na reko ketakoi.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Ego totonai za gore za na veluvelu za kamu i Josepa maka tinoni izizongo pa Arimatia. Maka sepele tugu ti Jisu aza.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Za lao ti Paelati aza ko za tepai za na kobukobu tinina i Jisu. Nari za vamalumia i Paelati ko mari loi lao vani i Josepa za na kobukobu tinina i Jisu za gua.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Ko za lao teku vagorea i Josepa za na kobukobu tinina i Jisu, ko za udeni maka poko liosona.So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60Beto za lao vakolea pa nana bevi koregana, aza za koni ruri vaoqilia pa patu. Ko za bokili laoni maka patu lavata za pa atakamanana na bevi, beto za keninana.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.

61Ko i Mere pa guguzu Magadalene, beto maka goto Mere mule za qari kole tugu nyumu bata lao veidia tugu pa bevi aza.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Ego za rane soga na kota, na rane Minyere, za qari makarai lao kamua i Paelati ria na kuta iama beto na Parese.The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63Ko qari paranga ria, <<Bangara, gamike roqu mumani gami za na paranga tana tinoni sekesekena zana totonai za korapa toana aza za pojai, ari za gua vei, <Pa rane vinaue mana toa mule pa uke ara,> za gua.“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Ko muna garunu laodi tu kaki tinoni kopu za pa bevi ko mari kopu valeanani tinganai mina jola tu kue rane. Keta ria na nana sepele gu mari kamu iko tekua za na kobukobu tinina beto mari lao sekeseke tadiria na tinoni, <Za tori toa mule tu pa uke aza,> keta mari gua. Ko aza na sekeseke aza za keta mi ikerena jolani na momoena,>> qari gua.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.”

65Nari za ari za gudi vei i Paelati, <<Mu lao tekuria kaki solodia ko mu kopu valeana veini aza muna bokai gamu za na bevi,>> za gudi.“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Nari qari taloi keni ria ko qari lao varamata valeania maka vinagilagila pa patu patena na bevi, beto za qari vasuvereria na tinoni kopu ko mari kopu valeanani qari gua.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
