Matthew 27 (HWO)

1A tsar ƙǝrǝt, mamnda firistaya tǝ shingya heu, wuma nda hai ka a kaɗa kwaman ɓǝlla Yeeso nda.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Kǝnang ngganda, ɗǝnda tǝghǝn a mbed Mbilatus ɗǝ, ngwamnad Romaya.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Kǝlaana Yahuda hai fǝrgha Yeeso, ngwang nda kumad mǝrra Yeeso sǝ. Tǝrgha sǝbgha hurghǝn ɗǝ, haranggǝn wuɗǝɓǝl wuridɗa sǝ kumggit mahan wuɗanggǝnǝn mamnda firistaya ɗǝ tǝ shinggini.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.

4Ndanggǝn kanda, “Ənaɗi ɗimiyirha, ƙǝsǝr fǝrɗi niifa ǝnawa ɗimiyirha.” Ndang ngganda, “Mbǝ ˈya sǝ djiɗangwa kan wa, kǝl ˈya ǝnana.”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Tǝrgha Yahuda tsamanggǝn wuɗǝɓǝlɗa hai ahu Ƙǝn Faara, wiigha ɗǝgha waghang altenggǝn sǝ.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Harangga mamnda firistaya wuɗǝɓǝlɗa sǝ, ndaa nda, “Kamngwa a ɗǝfanggǝm wuɗǝɓǝlɗi ya a mbǝd ɗǝfǝd yi Ƙǝn hwan Faara wa, nanǝn wuɗǝbǝl ƙǝna ɓǝl farha ni.”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.”

7A kwasamadghǝn ƙǝnang ngganda hai na nda a hii pǝpal yi taɓǝd tǝn ɓǝya sǝ tǝ wuɗǝɓǝlɗi, tsawang ngganda mbǝɗi, mbǝd ten kwad rongya.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Ndǝn na nda aah mbǝɗi, Pǝpal fara.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Tǝrgha lǝghǝdgha ˈya ndana annabi Irmiya ndanǝn, “Tǝrang ngganda wuɗǝɓǝl wuridɗa sǝ kumggit mahan, wuɗǝɓǝlɗi kyana nafiya Isǝreela.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,

10Hii mbǝd taɓǝd tǝn ɓǝya nda sǝ kǝla ndaana Chinǝm”.and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Nana Yeeso ƙǝt a mbed Mbilatus ngwamnad Romaya, tsahangga ngwamnaɗi mee, “Sani kutǝr Yahudaya wa?” Nggǝrangga Yeeso sǝ, “Ooh, ƙǝla ndaana.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Amma nana mamngya firistaya tǝ shingya a ˈyarghǝn, nagha Yeeso tip fayighǝn.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Ndangga Mbilatus, “Mbuwana a sǝk ǝnɗi na nda a thlǝkrha atenwa wa?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Amma nggǝrang ngwa Yeeso kanda sǝ aten ǝnggini heu thlǝk nanda wa, ƙǝsgha ǝnwulteena ngwamnaɗi kaan.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Nanǝnya ǝntin ngwamna ɗa ni nǝn yakh kalang niifa kanda hai tal na ahu porsǝna na min ndan a far wutsǝfayid Tǝɗaarha.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Ahu sayidɗi na niifa sǝ na tǝmbǝng, ƙǝnang na nda ahu porsǝna, na nda aarha Mbarabas.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Tsaunǝn wum fiya hai a kwakirǝm Mbilatus, tsahangga Mbilatus mee kanda, “Wun na minnun a kalang nggǝni kun hai, Mbarabas wa, nduwa Yeeso nanda aarha Ƙǝrǝsti wa?”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?”

18Sǝn ɗa sǝ ƙǝsang na shingya Yeeso ƙǝsǝr ka sǝrǝkrha.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Nana Mbilatus tsau a mbǝd tsawud ngwa kumarha, thlǝngga nukƙun farha a thlǝmadghǝn ɗǝ a ndang ngganda, “Ma ǝnangna ˈya ka niifɗa fa ya wa ƙǝsǝr sǝsaaɗi kaan hu sǝsǝniirha atenggǝn a fǝɗik weeriya.”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.”

20Amma mamngya firistaya tǝ shingya shik fiya nda, a ndang ngganda a kal Mbarabas nǝn hai, ɓǝlang ngganda Yeeso.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Nggǝrgha kutǝr ɗi tsakh mee, “Wun na minnun a kalang nggǝni kun hai ahur nafiyini na kyab ya?” Tǝrangga fiya urad ndan sǝ, “Mbarabas!”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Ndangga Mbilatus kanda, “Mani ǝnaarha tǝ Yeeso na nda aarha Ƙǝrǝsti?” Tǝrang ngganda urad ndan sǝ, “Tawaman ɗǝ!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Ndangga Mbilatus kanda, “Kama nda? Ma ǝnanǝn na ɗimi?” Amma nagha fiya a tǝrang urad ndan sǝ, “Tawaman ɗǝ!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24“Ƙǝlaana Mbilatus hai mbǝ ˈyasǝ nǝn mbang ǝnaarha wa, na nda a katǝrang kakyathlaanga. Tǝrgha thlǝn farha nǝn a ɓang aama nda ɓa tsaɓanggǝn harghǝn ɗǝ a mbed fiya, ndagha, Nggi, mbǝ harna tsuwar faar ka niifa fa wa. Kun ndǝn sǝngga ǝnnun.”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.”

25Nggǝmangga fiya heu, “Ngwa tsauka hakked farghǝn aten nan, kan tǝ wagginan!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Tǝrgha Mbilatus kalang Mbarabas nǝn kanda hai. Fǝr Yeeso nǝn tsaɗa ghǝnda tǝ wutǝteerha, fǝranggǝnǝn sodjad Romaya ka ɗanda tawang ɗǝ.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Fingya sodjaya ngwamnaɗi tǝrangga nda Yeeso a mbǝd tar ndan ɗǝ, aah sodjaya nda ɓa heu.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Ƙǝɗangga nda lukkighǝn hai, kalang kaɓarha nda fa yiɓa.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Yam wuhar ndakhkya nda ƙǝla matuwel, panggǝnda atenggǝn, fǝrang sǝsal kutǝryirha nda a yisǝmadghǝn. Ɓǝra nda hai a mbedghǝn waaghǝn nda, na nda a ndangˈya, “Alvari, kutǝr Yahudaya!”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!”

30Chahang yakhrha nda fa, thlǝ sǝsal ɗa nda na nda a ɗǝkƙǝn sǝ a tenggǝn.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Ɗakhna mindan ɗǝ tǝ waaghǝn, ƙǝɗang ngganda kaɓadɗa hai a fadghǝn, nggǝrgha nda kalang yighǝn lukrha fa. Tǝrgha wii nda tǝghǝn ka ɗa nda tawang ɗǝ.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.

32Nana nda aten wiirha, ɗa nda wal tǝ Sayirarha, thlǝmnggǝn ni Siman, ngyaɓang tǝr kaɗidɗa nda fa.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Sǝlna nda a mbǝrha ɓa nanda aarha Nggolggota, ndaarha ni mbǝd ɓalhwar teena,And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34Fǝrangga sodja yini aam inabi nda kukurɗa tǝ ˈya na iˈikh, amma taarang nǝn, kar sad ghǝnǝn.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35A kwasamadɗi tawang na nda ɗǝ, ndǝghang ngganda lukkighǝn hai tǝ ǝna chacha.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Tǝrgha tsawa nda hai a mbǝɗi, nanda a ƙǝlaghǝn ha.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Chireelth ǝn sak ɗimiyidghǝn nda a man tenggǝn tǝ ndaarha, “KULO YEESO YA, KUTƏR YAHUDAYA!”Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Na fathlee kwamangya sǝ sǝri tawang na nda kanda ɗǝ a thlǝmadghǝn, tal a man yisǝmadghǝn, tal a yikawa.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Nagha fiya na a mbǝra ɗǝ a huhwang nda, na nda a tsang ˈya ten ndan fa yi waa farha.And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40Na nda a ndaarha, “Ndaana na mbang chang wuri Faara hai na a Urshalima tǝnangga sǝ hu paara mahan, ana Wan Faara ni sa, hǝrghang altenwa lee tǝra na hai a ten kaɗidɗiya!”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!”

41Mamngya firistaya tǝ famalǝmgya ngyakhrha Musa, tǝ shingya ƙǝm waa Yeeso nda.In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42“Hǝrghang ɗǝ fingya, amma mbangwa hǝrghang nda altenggǝn wa. Ana ndǝghǝn ni kutǝr Isǝreela! Tǝrgha hai a ten kaɗidɗi nanǝnya lee, nǝm a fǝrƙǝkafek a ndǝghǝn.“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.

43Fǝrɗǝ ƙǝkafek a Faara, ngwa hǝrghangga Faara nanǝnya anaɗǝ na midghǝn sǝ! Ƙǝsǝr ndǝghǝn, Wan Faara ni nggi.”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Ko fa thlee kwaman nggina ni tawang na nda kanda ɗǝ tǝghǝn, waa ghǝnda kǝla ǝnana fiya.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Yanfara a sǝrǝkrha, nggǝlangga wula chehwedɗi heu har yargha yanfaara hai.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Yarna yanfaara hai kalgha Yeeso sǝ tǝ urarha manggǝn, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” Ndaarha ni, “Faarna, Faarna, kama karna nggi?”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?”

47Fingya na ƙǝƙǝt a mbǝɗi sǝngwa nda sǝwa tamngga nda ndaarha nanǝn a aah annabi Ilya.When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Ɗagha niifa ɗǝ tal ahur ndan tǝtǝnanggǝn soso tǝ aam inabi na chichakh, panggǝn hu sǝsaala hai fǝranggǝnǝn sǝ ka a saagha.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.

49Amma ndagha fingya, malaman, ƙǝlaghǝnǝm ha, asǝmha ɓana Ilya hǝrghang nda.But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Tǝrgha nggǝrgha Yeeso tǝrang uradghǝn sǝ kaan tǝgha, mbǝ kal yiɓǝdghǝnǝn hai.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51A mǝmǝlla sayidɗi djargha shishamar Ƙǝn Faara hai sǝri, a talara hai ta hweeɗe hai. Rǝbgha ƙǝshiirha fa, fǝlgha ferya ɗǝ.At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52Ingga ten kwaya ɗǝ, ka nafiya Faara hangga mǝrgha, thlii nda sǝ.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Kyanda sǝ ahu ten kwaya, a kwasamadɗi thliina Yeeso sǝ ahu mǝrra, ɗǝnda ahu wupǝri ɗǝ tǝ peɗǝnda, kyad fandan nda a fiya hangga.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Mamnda sodja Romaya tǝ fingya sodjaya na a ƙǝla Yeeso ha, nana nda rǝbrha chehwedɗi tǝ ǝngya heu katǝrarha hai tǝrma nda, ndaa nda, “Ƙǝkafek niifɗiya Wan Faara ni!”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.”

55Tǝ nishya hangga ɓagha ɓa mbuwa samad Yeeso a Nggalili ɓa ka a ndang ngganda sǝ tǝ ˈya na midghǝn na nda a ƙǝlarha ɓa inggun.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Ahur ndan na Mairamu Magdaliya sǝ, tǝ Mairamu man nda Yakubu tǝ Yisǝfu, tǝ man nda Yakubu tǝ Yahaya, wangya Dzabadi.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Tsǝna figrha hai, na tǝ ƙǝna sǝ ɓagha ɓa a Aramatiya, thlǝmnggǝn ni Yisǝfu, tsauka tǝ takkwa Yeeso,When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58ɗǝgha thlǝmad Mbilatus ɗǝ tsakh mǝrra Yeeso nǝn, ndagha Mbilatus fǝraman ndǝghǝn.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Tǝrangga Yisǝfu mǝrɗi faɗanggǝn hu kaɓaarha hai na ngga pǝpet.So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60Ɗǝgha pang ahu yighǝn weerǝnda ten kwarha hai ranǝn ahu feera. Tǝrgha kwatǝranggǝn feera ɓa na manggǝn, nggǝlanggǝn mii tenkwadɗa sǝ wiigha.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.

61Nda Mairamu Magdaliya tǝ tahad Mairamu ɗi kanda tsǝtsau a mii ten kwadɗi kanda a naghǝn.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Ɗathna mbǝrha hai a far yiɓǝd Yahudaya, Mamnda firistaya tǝ farisaya ɗǝnda thlǝmad Mbilatus ɗǝ.The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63Ndang ngganda, “Alvari, ɗal ɗan teena hai aten ˈya ndaana tǝnggaɓad ɗi ndǝghǝn ɓalɗǝ tǝ yibrha, ‘A kwasamad ɓeena mahan nǝn a thliirha sǝ ahu mǝrra.’“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Nanǝn kee furu kwamana a ƙǝla ten kwadɗa ndaha yi ɓeena mahan. A mbǝ kee wa ɓana fatsahayighǝn ngaarang, ndangganda fiya thliinǝn sǝ ahu mǝrra.”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.”

65Ndangga Mbilatus kanda, “Harama sodjaya ƙǝla mbǝɗaha, ngga.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Nanǝn kee mǝlɗeng ngganda ten kwadɗi, sǝ sodjaya nda sǝ na ƙǝlaghǝn ha.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
