1Nɛchiyɛn ipara agbangkrʊ imusang ɛdɛrɛ ofuru, sini ayirhi ni ipara ʊwɔrɔ to iyoyow.Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2Ogu ubyen Ʊnʊng kǝni avʊwa ʊmɛr ogro Imusa kasu waa ʊtira sini imɔ nʊ pɛrɛ Iyesu ngɛ, awaa ʊsa kǝna ʊsʊsɔ bekai sini akung irung ɛkǝri orokru.and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

3Ishari ka raa ikywi Iyahuda, arʊ sini ayirhi ngɛ ni Iskariyoti, arʊ sini ani eying bi idɔɔ arʊ atarhi na apari dang.Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4Iyahuda ka kya eberi Ogubyen Ʊnʊng kǝni arite asha ubyen Ʊnʊng aya pya onuo sini ingɛɛ nʊ gbunamo Iyesu ngɛ.And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5Aka kung ididima ko yoro asani imo nʊ maa ʊfɛ.They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6Iyahuda ko yoroni kǝna, kaba raa upyerhe apara sini ingɛɛ numa Iyesu ngɛ bavumo sini araru nasu ʊkpɛrhi ngɛ.Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

7Ekǝri awri ipara agbankrɔ ka fwa ami anu ma ikara anatam Ipara ʊwɔrɔ.Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8Iyesu ka tuma Ibitrus mo kǝni Iyohana, a sani, “kya eye kyene arʊ ʊmʊra sini arʊ nura bi ipara ʊwɔrɔ.”Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9Oko gyurho ngɛ, “Ʊwɛini arʊ ye kyene bi ubewo?”“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10Oko yoromo a sani, “Inyi basu raa ɛkǝri apya, Inyi nʊ sira ni opyoo orokru okong obom omung. Inyi kroo ngee kekya ʊna sini anʊ raa ngɛ,He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11asani ɛkǝri arʊ ʊna ni, ‘Avuwa gyurhi ni: eki ʊbɔrʊ ekyeng, owro sini imye kǝni ɔnɔ ʊmɛr mi nura ʊmʊra ipara ʊwɔrɔ ngɛ?’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?’

12Anu yen nyi okru ʊbɔrʊ bi ʊna ayaya sini ekywere ukɛnewo, inyi nʊ darha asa ʊʊma ngɛ nɛmɛr. Inyi kyene ʊmʊra burha.”And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

13Aka kyaa aya darha nɛmɛr kǝni sini Iyesu tanimo ni. Ekǝ kyene ɛkǝri ʊmʊra ipara ʊwɔrɔ.So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14Sini akywa fwi, Iyesu ka kiki kǝni ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ awaa ʊra ʊmʊra.When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

15Aka sani ɔmɔni, “Iwaa akyu sani ira ʊmʊra ipara ʊwɔrɔ men kǝni enyi kekya ikpara sini inu kung igara.And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16Kii iku tana nyi, inojo rammɔ, sai ibɛ tirɛ bi idɔɔ igumo Ʊnʊng.”For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17Iyesu ka kpara ɔsɔng, kasa Ʊnʊng ngɛ ija, ka sani, “Inyi yirha akǝkaa bi idɔɔ opyony.After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

18Iku tana nyi, inojo sam omung osumo ʊshi inabi men, sai igumo Ʊnʊng ba ba.”For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19Aka kpari ipara ɔgbɔnkrʊ, kasa Ʊnʊng ngɛ ija, ka yurhayɔ, amamɔ, a sani, “Inamam yɔɔye aminy; inyi sa kǝn asu dirha ni emye.”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.”

20Kǝni sini asini, sini ɛkywɛri ʊra ʊmʊra ʊrɛ aka kpara ɔsɔng, ka sani, “Ɔsɔng yen ulorho iring isayo sini afri ni eyi mi, sini aniri ngɛ bi ʊkany.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.

21Yip ekǝri arʊ sini anu gbunam ngɛ we akiki kǝni emye ngɛ ben.Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

22Ɔnɔ orokru nʊ kpoo kǝni sini Ʊnʊng kyoni, yip ima okwoyo ini arʊ sini anu agbuna ngee!”Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

23Akywa dang ɔnɔ ʊtina ngɛ ka tikpa ʊsʊ gyurho opyoomo, iyaa bi idɔɔmɔ, anushe ʊsi ima yen.Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

24Yip ɛkǝ shinɛ amaa ni opyoomo, bɛkai sini akʊ wɔrɔ ofo iyaa anʊshoo arite bi idɔɔmɔ.A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

25Iyesu ka sani ɔmɔni, “Ogumo arʊ sini ɛnɛkpɛrhimɔ Ʊnʊng ese yen arʊmɔ ikrʊ, ese yirha opyoomo ni arʊshɛ orokru.So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

26Yip inyi naw shoony kǝni ɔmɔni. Bi ʊka kǝna arite bi idɔɔ nyi anu shoo kǝni ara ajajini, arʊ sini ani ogumo anu shoo kǝni arʊ sa ʊtʊna ni.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.

27Iyaa ni arite, arʊ sini akiki asura ʊmʊra ngɛ kii arʊ ʊkaa ɛkǝri ʊmʊra ngɛ? Arʊ sini akiki asura ngee? Yip ini bi idɔɔ nyi kǝni arʊ kaa ʊmʊra ni.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.

28Inyimo inyi ting kǝni emye ngɛ bi idɔɔ ʊmarha sini isii.You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

29Kǝni sini Ɛkpɛri mim ikrʊ igumo ni, kǝnawo ikumany nɛmɛr kǝna.And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

30Inyi nʊ ra asa kǝni emyee bi idɔɔ igumom. Inyi nʊ kiki bi igɔgɔrʊ igumo, okong igumo baya edei atarhi na pari ami ɔnɔ Isrela.so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31“Isimon, Isimon, shywi akʊng! Ishari waa apara ʊwaw ʊmarhany, akaanyi oworo igigyang kǝni ibibi kǝni sini arʊ owro so woro ikiri ogro bai idɔɔ iwʊng ni.Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

32Yip Ikarha sɔrhɔ Ʊnʊng ngɛ bi ʊkanw, Isimon, sini ʊma ʊbrʊbrʊnw nasu kpaawɔ. Kǝnawɔ akywa sini ube tere ba ni ɛmyɛ ʊta onogronw ikrʊ ngɛ.”But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33Isimon kasani, “Ete, ikarha ekywere utuno ʊʊma iye kya kǝni nwoo ko bi ʊbɔrʊ eting ko bi ukpo.”“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

34Iyesu ko yoro, “Itananw, Ibitrus, kekya akywa sini ɔkɔrɔ nʊpɛn echiye, ʊnʊ raa amaa ngɛ asi itaru asani ʊnɛ kperhinw imye.”But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35Ikpara dang Iyesu ko gyurho mo, “Akywa sini ituminy bai ipa ʊfɛ, bai ʊbʊrhʊ ko ataka, inyi tii iririma?” Oko yoro, “Bai iririma.”Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

36Akasani omoni, “Yip nɛchiyɛn arʊ sini oboshoo ni ipa ʊfɛ ngɛ akpara yo, kǝnawo ʊbʊrhʊ; kǝnawo uba sanw ni ikama igbang ngɛ, ʊgbʊna igbɛ irenw ere iying ngɛ.“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.

37Kii itaniny asani ɛkǝri iring Ʊnʊng peri asani: ‘Apari ngɛ bidɔɔ arʊya.’Ika tanany asani itɔɔyo inyeen tirɛ bi ikywim. Kii imisini ɔwɔri bi ikywim ʊkʊ kyeeba ʊtirɛ.”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.”

38Ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ kasani, “Rong, Ete, ʊkama ʊgbang ʊpari me.” Oko yoromo asani, “Imaa kǝna!”So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

39Iyesu ko kuno kyaa kǝni sini ɛrɛn ngɛ ni kya aya ukro Izaitun, ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ ko kroo ngɛ.Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

40Ni ʊsʊ fwa eberi ngɛ akasani ɔmɔni,“Inyi sɔrhɔ Ʊnʊng kii inyi kya kpaa bidɔɔ ʊmarha.”When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

41Ekǝ yin ngɛ naji ikarha ngɛ ini kǝni ʊfɛn ʊtari ni ko kpukporo ɔsɔrhɔ Ʊnʊng asani,And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

42“Ɛkpɛri, iboshoo ʊwaanw wɔ, ʊkparam ɔsɔng igara yen ngɛ. Yip sa imisini ʊnwʊɔ ʊwɛi bekya sa imisini imyee iwɛi.”“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43Atina Ʊnʊng ba ayaya kaba eberi ngɛ aba taa ikrʊ ngɛ.Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

44Ɔkɔ sɔrhɔ Ʊnʊng nagang, kii akung irung igara ukyeba, idung ngɛ ku tono bi ibʊng kǝni eyi ni.And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45Nisini ɛshini baa owro ʊsɔrhɔ Ʊnʊng ko juro baa owro ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ, aka darha mo aku moro. Ofokru mo samɔ ʊkara.When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46Oko gyurho mo asani, “Ikisi inyi ku moro? Inyi shinɛ ɔsɔrhɔ Ʊnʊng kii inyi kya kpaa bi idɔɔ ʊmarha.”“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

47Nisini eshishi ʊpya onuo ushi orokru ka ba. Ereying bi idɔɔ ɔnɔ ʊmɛr ngɛ sini ayirhi ngɛ ni Iyahuda ɛngɛɛ kpite okomo ba. Ekǝ yin ba ikwo Iyesu ɛwɛ kǝn ngɛ.While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48Yip Iyesu ko gyurho ngɛ, “Iyahuda ni ukɛnwɔ ʊwa gbuna ɔnɔ orokru ngɛɛ?”But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49Nisini ɔnɔ ʊmɛr Iyesu rii imisini iku waa ukyeng, akasani, “Ete, arʊ kpa orokru men ni ikama igbang arʊ?”Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

50Ereying bi idɔɔmo ka kpa agara ogu ubyen Ʊnʊng, ʊtʊng ngɛ ʊʊma avu ʊra.And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51Yip Iyesu ko yoro asani, “Imaa kǝna!” Aka pya ʊtʊng ɛkǝri orokru ekǝ pen ikrʊ.But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52Iyesu kasani ɛkǝri ogu ubyen, arite asha ubyen Ʊnʊng, adarha ɔrɔkɔng, arʊ sini abii ʊwaa ʊkpin ngɛ ni, “Ikisi inyi kuno ni ʊkama ʊgbang kǝni ʊkʊma ashi ʊwaa kpin mi kǝni ine eyi ni?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?

53Ku kyunu ʊnʊng ini kǝni inyi ngɛ bi idɔɔ ubyen Ʊnʊng, inyi kyana pyany imye. Yip akywany yoye sini ini imi igumo eting.”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.”

54Aka kpin Iyesu ngɛ akyamo ne ngɛ kidɔɔ ʊna ogu ubyen Ʊnʊng. Ibitrus su kroo ngɛ bai ikǝkarha.Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

55Nisini opyoo arʊ kǝni ʊra bi ʊgba ʊpyang akiki kukum asu ʊwɛri ʊra, Ibitrus ka kiki kǝni ɔmɔɔ.When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56Opyo agara erere rie akiki burha bi idɔɔ uyen ʊra. Oko koo ikra nɛgbɛn kasani,“Orokru wen ni kǝni ɛngɛɛ ngɛ.”A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

57Yip aka ra amaa ngɛ asani, “Erere, inɛ kperhim ngɛ.”But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

58Anakywa naji opyo arʊ ko roo ka sani, “Ʊnwɔ kanw ʊnidɔɔ mɔ.” Ibitrus ko yoro kasani, “Ɛrɛrimɛ, isam idɔɔ mɔ!”A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59Kekya ʊkpin itɔmɔ iying opyo arʊ kojo sani, “Ʊbrʊbrʊwɔɔ orokru wen ni kǝni ɛngɛɛ ngɛ, kii ari Igalili ngɛ.”About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

60Ibitrus ko yoro asani, “Ɛrɛrimɛ, inɛ kperhim imisini uku tana!” Nisini eshishi ʊpya onuo ɔkɔrɔ kǝpɛn.“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61Ete Iyesu kǝ tere ikramo ka sira itituku kǝni Ibitrus. Akywa dang Ibitrus ka dirha ni iring sini Ete tani ngɛ:“Kyekya upɛn ɔkɔrɔ echiye ʊna ra amaa ngɛ ni ʊnɛ kperhinw emye asi taru.”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.”

62Oko kuno kyaa esing eye tei nagang.And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63Arʊ tɛi ikɔ sini akʊ sha Iyesu ngɛ aka raa ʊsina ngɛ kǝni ʊkraa.The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64Oko lorho ngɛ ikra ni ʊtʊgbɛ aka sani ngɛ ni, “Tana onuo Ʊnʊng! Iyaa ogyung?”They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65Aka tana ngɛ ʊring ukǝkǝǝ idedei.And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66Ni ʊba ʊyɛrɛ itikywa ɔrɔkɔng tuno, bi ʊpʊrha ogu ubyen Ʊnʊng kǝni avʊwa ʊmɛr ogro nikǝni ɔmɔɔ, oko kong Iyesu ba bi itemo.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,

67Akasani ɛngɛɛ ni, “Tana arʊ, ʊnwʊɔ ʊni Ikristi?” Iyesu ko yoro mo, “Iba tany inyi nasu yorony ni ɛmyɛ,“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

68ibo gyurhony inyi nasu yorony ɛmyɛ.And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69Yip Imisini ikpin bai kaimen, ɔnɔ orokru nʊ kiki ba avu ʊra Ʊnʊng ogumo ikrʊ kukum.”But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70Kukummo oko gyurho ngɛ, “Nɛchiyɛn ʊnwɔ ni ɛkǝri Ɔnɔ Ʊnʊng?” Oko yoro mo asani, “E Inyi pɛrɛ nɛmɛr imyee.”So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

71Akasani, “Ikisi arʊ ku waa araru jo tana arʊ, arʊ kyu karha kuwɔ ni atung arʊ sini eperi ni onuo.”“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
