Matthew 27 (IDC)

1Ikyua ya yẹẹ ni, nadidu afirist akakọng kina aghite bajiya va tẹri ace bọ si abọ ba pii iYesu wọ.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Ava lor nga, ki wolu ni nga, ki ma nga kukushi iBilatus aghọ ko ẹrẹbọ.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3IYahuda umani agbra iYesu nu ni awa iYesu ashuwa ukpo ni, ikwyi nga va bra yo, ava vuu ukushi afirist akakọng, kina aghite, ki ma bọ ufẹ aguza ishi itai ra.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.

4Ava tẹri si, “Imẹ ju avulu nọ umani imẹ ma ayi aghọ utaa avulu ka apii nga kọ.” Aba yira nga si, “Ikẹmbọ sọ unga yi? Udii ni, ọdọma ngọ kọ.”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Ava naa ufẹ aguza ra kọ kidẹ ọna Ọnọng, akunu ki ya ta ajee ki kpoo.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Kindọ ni afirist akakọng va yẹri ufẹ ko ki tẹri si, “Ushi wọ ikikya na akyo ufẹ kọ ọkọ ukyuru ufẹ ọna Ọnọng ba, kọ ufẹ na ayi bọ.”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.”

7Ava pii ki kyo si, aghẹẹ ọka nira ajiya umani abiba, insi akpuru bọ ni, ọka wọ shi ayayẹ aghọ uvra uwoo.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Kindọ ki ta kaidii ni ayọrọ oka si, ayayẹ na ayi.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Kindọ ni ahwura imumani aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng Irimiya tẹri si, “Akpa ufẹ aguza ishi itai, ufẹ umani ajiya Israila yira si ama ki ẹrẹkwyuẹ nga wudu.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,

10Ava ghẹẹ ayayẹ aghọ uvra uwoo nọ ufẹ, kọnọ umani Ate tẹri mi ni.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11IYesu titara kite aghọ ko ẹrẹbọ, ava ghulu nga si, “Ingọọ shi Agọm aYahudawa?” IYesu va tẹri nga si, “Ingọ tẹri kindọ.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Afirist akakọng kina aghite keli nga, ata tẹri nga ice ima ba.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13IBilatus va ghulu nga si, “Ingọ ta kọng ngọ uma umani asọ tẹri kaya ẹrẹkwyuẹ ngọ ba?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Ni iYesu ta tẹri nga ice ima ba, ki ta kọ umani aghọ uko ẹrẹbọ wo ica nagigang.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Ko agba akyua usra agya ubulu ni, aghọ kọ ẹrẹbọ ka sa ni awo ajiya ayeng aghọ shina na avulu umani awang.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Akyua ni ace aghọ umom shi kọ ubọọ iting na ayọrọ nga si iBarabas.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17AYahudawa ya curu ni, iBilatus va tẹri bọ si, “Ingaa nọ wang si isher nu? iBarabas ta iYesu mani ayọrọ iKristi ni?”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?”

18Ka aye si irisho kọ sa na agbra iYesu kọ.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Akyua umani iBilatus ci kọka ubọọ utẹri ashuwa ni, ayiri nga va tuma sa atẹri nga si, “Woo avọ ngọ wọ kọ upii aghọ taa avulu ra, ka aidi ni ikọng ọlọ nagigang ka amọ kaya ẹrẹkwyuẹ nga.”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.”

20Ni, afirist akakọng va sẹr ajiya si ashọr ka asher iBarabas, na sọ pii iYesu kọ.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Aghọ kọ ẹrẹbọ va kimi utẹri bọ si, “Ingaa kidẹ agha pai ri nọ wang si isher nu?” Ava tẹri si, “IBarabas.”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22IBilatus va tẹri bọ si, “Ni ikẹmbọ ni iki ju ni iYesu umani ayọrọ si iKristi?” Nadidu bọ va ju si, “Agra nga!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23IBilatus va ju si ki ikẹ? Iligba ima ibibi yọ na ju?” ni ajiya va shang ayuẹ bọ ki tẹri si, “Agra nga!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24IBilatus ya nu ni aki bra nga uju ima ba ni, na ajiya nga wang sang ikwyi bajiya ni, ava vo amusumu ki hwuru ivọ nga kọ kite ba ajiya, ki tẹri si, “Imẹ ni, ba iminẹ mi na ayi aghọ taa avulu ri. Udi ni iminẹ nọ yọọ.”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.”

25Ajiya nadidu va yira ki tẹri si, “Taa ni ayi nga ki lara kaya akwyuẹ yi, iyi kina anọ yi!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Ukadu ni ava sher bọ iBarabas kọ umani azọnọ sa na ju iYesu aiwili, ava ma nga si agra nga.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Ukadu ni aghina akpọ aghọ kọ ẹrẹbọ va kyaa ni iYesu ka idẹ ugunu nga, acuru ikir aghina akpọ ki ẹrẹbọ,Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Ava wuli nga uma kọ, ava fiya nga ice igbang isiseng.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Ava tii ifarkwyuẹ ẹrẹgọm inga akara, ki sọmọ nga ki ẹrẹkwyuẹ, ki sa nga uko ashi kavọ ila nga, ava ta aghong kite nga na sọ kali nga na tẹri si, “Ọkyuọ ngọ tẹrẹ kọ, Agọm aYahudawa!”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!”

30Ava taa nga na akpe, ava yira ashi ki ca nga kọ ki ẹrẹkwyuẹ.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Aya kpẹr ukali nga ni, ava woo nga igbang isiseng kọ, ki sọmọ nga inga ngaa, ni asi woru ni nga kaya gra nga ka ya ukumu ọshẹ.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.

32Asọ kyeng wudu ni, ava ta ẹrẹkwyuẹ na ace ajiya aSayirin, ayọrọ nga si iSiman, ava mẹni nga sa akpaa ukumu ọshẹ.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Aya fọma ọkọ umani ayọrọ si aGolgota ni, ọkọ umani aka va ayọrọ si ọka agboho ẹrẹkwyuẹ.And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34Ava ma nga amusumu ikọlọ na ashẹ kini ice ma ọkọkasi si asa, aya ghẹli ni ava tọọ nga usa.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Aya gra nga ni, ava kau ugba nga kọ uwuru itoo.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Aya kpẹr ni ava cica na sọ sha nga.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Ka aya ẹrẹkwyuẹ nga ni awọọ avulu nga si, ANGA SHI IYESU, AGỌM aYAHUDAWA.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Agra ace ayi aghọ dara itra agha apai kini inga, adaa kavọ ila adaa kavọ iprọma nga.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Ajiya mani awolu ni asọ jer nga amira na sha zuru akwyuẹ bọ,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40Na sha tẹri si, “Ingọ aghọ umani ingọ tẹri si ingọ ki pulu Ọna ọnọng, kọ vra ki da awii atai ni, foo ẹrẹkwyuẹ ngọ ni! Insi ingọ ni Anọ Ọnọng nga ni, shulu kaya ukumu ọshẹ ni!”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!”

41Kindọ ni afirist akakọng, kina aghọmẹẹ umẹẹ iMusa, kina akwyite sha sra nga, na tẹri si,In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42Afoo ace aghọ bọ, ata bra nga ufoo ẹrẹkwyuẹ nga ba, inga ni Agọm Israila nga, tara na shulu ka ya ukumu ọshẹ, akyua ra kọ ni iyi ki ma aipang ni ngaa wọ.“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.

43Atọrọ nọ Ọnọng. Tara na Ọnọng kara nga ka kyuakyuari, ipeni awang ni, ka atẹri si inga ni anọ Ọnọng ngaa.”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Kindọ ni aghọ dara itra mani agra bọ kọ, abọ tọ tẹr nga upii ububi.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Kọ kpaa na atinọng, iting yuru ẹrẹbọng ya naidu, ki ta ka karfe atai angọ ọghẹ.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Akarfe atai ni iYesu va shang ẹrẹwyuẹ naigang ki tẹri si, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” si, “Ọnọng mi, Ọnọng mi, Ikẹmbọ sa nọ ọta mi utumu?”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?”

47Akyua umani ace aghọ uting kọ kadu ya kọng kindọ ni, ava tẹri si, “Ajiya ri sọ yọrọ Iliya kọ.”When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Kaishang ace aghọ va titi ki ya kpaa asọsọ, ki sọ ka amusum ukpọkpam ki ikọlọ na ashẹ, ki sọmọ kashi, ki nawa nga sa asa.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.

49Ni ushẹ aghọ bọ va tẹri si, “Inu ya yaa ki inu, ta Iliya ki ba ka ba foo nga ni.”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50IYesu va ci naigang, ava shee aghing nga.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Ugyauto umani ushi kọ ọna Ọnọng giya wo ika ipai, kọ kpaa kaya ki ba wọ ata. Ẹrẹbọng zuru, atii va sara yọ.At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52Ava yeri alọr, anọma aghọ shi ayer naigang mani akọ kpuru bọ sang ka akyuọ.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Asang ka alọr bọ, iYesu ya sisang ka lọr ni, ava ghila bọ ifọng aghọ upipar, ajiya napam nu bọ.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Akyua umani agha aghaghẹ aghina akpọ aRoma kina ọshẹ aghọmani ashi kọ ọna iYesu na nu zur ẹrẹbọng kini imumani ibani, ava kọng ẹrẹbata nagigang, ava tẹri si, “Aipang na ajiya ri ni Anọ Ọnọng nga!”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.”

55Ace ayiri shiwu napam mani ayii iYesu kọ kpaa ka aGalili asọ she nga ni itina. Ati tara ka atọọ na sọ kyoo imumani isọ ba.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56kidẹ bọ ni iMaryamu iMagadaliya, kina iMaryamu ayuru iYakubu kina iYusufu, kina ayuru anọ iZabadi.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Ughẹ ya ju ni, ace aghọlọ upeni, agha ifọng Arimatiya, aghọnọ uca si iYusufu ba, inga ni aghọyii iYesu ngaa.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Akyaa ukushi iBilatus kiya shọr si ama nga ọkọng iYesu. IBilatus va ma anyu si ama nga.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59IYusufu va kpaa ọkọng iYesu ki wuru kọ ugyauto alilin ọngọ upipar.So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60Ata nga kidẹ alọr asasa nga, angọ mani atumu kidẹ upang. Ava yini utii ọghọghẹ ka anyu alọr, ava woru.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.

61IMaryamu iMagadaliya, kini idaa iMaryamu ci ki ta ibate na alọr nga.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Awini ikyua ni, awii uloru ki kyo, afirist akakọng kina aFarisiyawa curu kite iBilatus,The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63Na tẹri si, “Aghọ ọna! Imẹ shuni kini imumani aghọ ghẹmi ajiya ra tẹri na sọ shi akyuọ, si kidẹ awii atai ni aki sisang ka alọr.“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Kindọ ni sa ka asha alọr nagigang kaya ta awii atai, ka aghọyii iYesu kọnọ maya yi ọkọng ngau ba, na sọ yi ngau na tẹri ajiya si, asisang ka alọr. ọghẹmi ti tẹ ki gina ọngọ tumu ubibi.”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.”

65IBilatus va tẹri bọ si, “Inu nu aghina akpọ, inu kya kọ ya sha nga nọ mani ọki bra.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Ava kya kiya sha alọr, ki gyo ẹrẹkwyuẹ agọm ya kọ utii alọr, ava sa aghina akpọ kọ ọkaa.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
