Luke 22 (LAG) · Opened

1Haaha mpɨɨndɨ ja ngovi ya mɨkáate sɨ ˆɨvɨ́kɨrwaa ʉsasɨ noo kʉsea Paásika ɨjáa yaséngerɨɨre.Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2Na mpɨɨndɨ ijo, vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva na vakiindya va Miiro vasaakɨráa njɨra yo mʉʉlaa Yéesu. Vabweeyya jeyyo sa vavoofáa vaantʉ.and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

3Irimʉ rɨkamwɨɨngɨra Yʉ́ʉda ˆaséwaa Isikarióoti, ʉmwɨ wa vapooji ikimi na vavɨrɨ va Yéesu.Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4Aho, Yʉ́ʉda akatamanya na kwa vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva na vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va valʉkalʉka va Kaayii Njija ya Ijʉva. Akiirʉmɨra novo ˆvyeene arɨ mʉvarindʉka sa vamʉkwaate.And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5Isáare ɨro rɨkaveerya mɨtɨma na vakiirʉmɨra kʉmʉrɨha mpía.They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6Yʉ́ʉda akaruma na akaanda saakɨra njɨra yo mʉvarindʉka Yéesu mpɨɨndɨ kusiina mpuka ya vaantʉ.Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

7Sikʉ ya ngovi ya mɨkáate sɨ ˆɨvɨ́kɨrwaa ʉsasɨ ɨkafika. Sikʉ ɨyo noo muundi ˆɨrɨ mpeho sa Paásika yasɨɨnjwáa.Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8Aho, maa Yéesu akavatʉma vala Peéteri na Yooháani akavasea, “Tamanyi, mʉkatwiimirye neeja chóorya cha Paásika, twiirye hamwɨ.”Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9Novo vakamuurya, “Hai woosaaka tukwiimirye neeja chóorya cha Paásika?”“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10Yéesu akavasea, “Mpɨɨndɨ ˆmʉrɨ kɨɨngɨra múujii, lʉmana mʉrɨ na mʉʉntʉ mʉlʉme ʉmwɨ iitíikire sʉvɨya ya maaji. Mutuubi ʉwo mʉʉntʉ mʉlʉme fʉʉrʉ nyuumba ˆarɨ kɨɨngɨra.He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11ˆMʉrɨ kɨɨngɨra, mʉsei mweenenyuumba, ‘Mukiindya yookuurya, hai kɨrɨ chúumba cha vayeni kʉʉntʉ ˆndɨrɨ rɨɨra chóorya cha Paásika na vapooji vaanɨ?’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?’

12Na yeeye kʉvoonekya arɨ, baanka nkʉʉlʉ ˆɨrɨ gorófii kwavɨɨkwa viintʉ vyoosi neeja. Iyimyi neeja Paásika haaho.”And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

13Aho, vakatamanya, ˆvakafike ʉko, vakashaana kɨra kɨɨntʉ ja ˆvyeene ajáa avawyɨ́ɨrɨɨre. Maa vakiimya neeja chóorya cha Paásika.So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14Mpɨɨndɨ ˆjikafike, Yéesu akiikala méesii hamwɨ na vatumwi vaachwe, kurya chóorya.When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

15Aho, akavasea, “Namériirye matɨ maatʉkʉ vii, nirye chóorya cha Paásika na nyuunyu, de kuturikiriwa kwaanɨ kufike.And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16Nɨ kʉvawyɨɨra niise, sɨ ndɨrɨ kurya Paásika kei tʉkʉ, fʉʉrʉ sikʉ ˆɨrɨ kiimana Ʉtemii wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ.”For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17Aho, akatoola ndʉvo, akamʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ, yoosea, “Tooli ndʉvo ɨhɨ voosi munywe!After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

18Nɨ kʉvawyɨɨra niise, kwaandɨra haaha sɨ ndɨrɨ kʉnywa kei diváai tʉkʉ fʉʉrʉ Ʉtemi wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ ˆʉrɨ kʉʉja.”For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19Aho, akatoola mʉkáate, akamʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ, akʉʉbendʉlabendʉla akavaheera yoosea, “Ʉhʉ nɨ mʉvɨrɨ waanɨ ˆwootoolwa sa nyuunyu. Bweeyyi jei sa nkʉmbʉkɨra yaanɨ!”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.”

20Viivyo ˆvakahʉmʉle kurya, akatoola ndʉvo, akasea, “Ndʉvo ɨhɨ nɨ mʉháko mufya wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ wa sakami yaanɨ ˆyookɨɨtɨka sa nyuunyu.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.

21Maa kaa, taangi, mʉʉntʉ ˆyookʉʉnvarindʉka amwaarɨ yoorya na nɨɨnɨ.Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

22Kɨkomi Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ tamanya iise noo kʉʉlawa ja ˆvyeene Mʉlʉʉngʉ asaaka vive. Maa kaa, nɨ mpolaɨ kwa mʉʉntʉ ˆarɨ mʉvarindʉka.”Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

23Aho, vakaanda kiiyurya voovo kwa voovo, “Nɨ ani kʉrɨ suusu ˆarɨ daha tʉmama isáare ɨrɨ?”Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

24Vapooji va Yéesu vakaanda kwiiruta ndihi, nɨ ani katɨ na katɨ yaavo ˆarɨ mʉkʉ́ʉ́lʉ.A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

25Aho, Yéesu akavasea, “Vatemi va vaantʉ sɨ ˆvarɨ Vayahúudi na vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ vaavo, vavɨɨ́mɨrɨraa vaantʉ vaavo na ngururu. Na kei, vara ˆvalaɨ́raa vatɨɨte wiimiriri mweeri yaavo, viiyánɨrɨraa nɨ vaambiriryi va vaantʉ.So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

26Maa kaa, nyuunyu karɨ mwiifwaane novo tʉkʉ. Kɨrɨ vyoova jeyyo, mʉʉntʉ mʉkʉʉlʉ waanyu ave ja muduudi kʉlookya voosi. Kei, ʉra ˆarɨ mʉlongooli wa vaantʉ, ave ja mʉtʉmami waanyu.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.

27Iririkani! Mʉkʉ́ʉ́lʉ nɨ arɨkwɨ? Nɨ ʉra ˆiíkalaa méesii kurya au nɨ ʉra ˆatʉ́mamɨraa vaantʉ méesii? Eri, sɨ ʉra ˆiíkalaa kurya tʉkʉ wʉʉ? Haaha nɨɨnɨ ndɨrɨ ʉmwɨ waanyu ja ʉra ˆavatʉ́mamɨraa vaantʉ.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.

28Nyuunyu mwachaala na nɨɨnɨ sikʉ joosi ˆnayerwáa.You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

29Haaha, ja ˆvyeene nɨɨnɨ naheewa Ʉtemi nɨ Taáta waanɨ, baa nɨɨnɨ nɨ kʉvaheera niise ʉtemi.And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

30Jeyyo, kurya mweende no nywa méesii ya Ʉtemii waanɨ. Kei, kiikala mweende machuumbii ya kɨtemi na lamʉrɨra mweende nkolo ikimi na ivɨrɨ ja Isiraéeli.”so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31Yéesu akasea, “Simóoni, Simóoni, Irimʉ ralóombire sa rɨveere nyuunyu ja viintʉ murimi ˆeéraa ngáano.Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

32Maa kaa, nakʉlóombɨɨre weewe Simóoni kuruma kwaako kʉdɨɨre keeheka. Na ˆʉrɨ kʉʉnhɨndʉkɨra, ʉvaheere mʉtɨma vaanaanyu.”But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33Peéteri akamʉsea, “Ee Mweenevyoosi, nɨɨnɨ nɨɨ́mɨre neeja kʉtwaalwa na mʉnyololwii hamwɨ na weewe, baa kukwya hamwɨ na weewe!”“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

34Yéesu akamʉsea, “Peéteri, nookuwyɨɨra de nkʉkʉlʉme ɨvɨɨke uchikʉ wa isikʉ, kuunsiita ʉrɨ katatʉ woosea sɨ wʉʉmányire tʉkʉ!”But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35Aho, maa Yéesu akavuurya vapooji vaachwe, “ˆNkavatʉme bila mpía, bila mufuko wo kɨɨnjɨra na bila viráatʉ, mʉjáa mwasɨrɨrwa nɨ kɨɨntʉ wʉʉ?” Novo vakuuyirya vakasea, “Tʉkʉ, sɨ tasɨrɨrwa nɨ kɨɨntʉ chochoosi tʉkʉ!”Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

36Aho, akavasea, “Haaha koonɨ mʉʉntʉ arɨ na mufuko wa mpía ʉʉsʉmʉle, na ʉra ˆarɨ na mufuko wo kɨɨnjɨra ʉʉsʉmʉle. Na ʉra ˆasiina nyaasʉka, avae iyoombe nkáancho yaachwe awʉle nyaasʉka.“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.

37Sa nɨ kʉvawyɨɨra niise, Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho nɨ mpaka yakiimane kʉrɨ nɨɨnɨ, ‘Avalwa hamwɨ na ˆvawúnaa miiro.’ Kɨkomi yara ˆyaandɨkwa sa nɨɨnɨ nɨ kiimana yiise.”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.”

38Vapooji vaachwe vakamʉsea, “Mʉkʉ́lʉ, laanga kwatɨɨte nyaasʉka ivɨrɨ aha.” Ne akavasea, “Yatóoshiirye.”So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

39Hara, maa Yéesu akadoma na Luulwii lwa Mɨseitúuni ja viintʉ ˆiijʉvɨra na vapooji vaachwe vajáa vamutúubire.Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

40ˆVakafike aho, maa akavasea vapooji vaachwe, “Mʉloombi Mʉlʉʉngʉ sa mʉdɨɨre kwɨɨngɨra mʉtehwii!”When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

41Aho, akavareka kʉlɨ kʉlɨ ja iwʉmo ra iwye. Akachwaama akaanda kʉmʉloomba MʉlʉʉngʉAnd He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

42yoosea, “Taáta! Koonɨ viri kweerya mʉtɨma, nooloomba wʉʉnseyyirye ndʉvo ɨhɨ ya uturikiri. Maa kaa, karɨ vive ja ˆveene noosaaka tʉkʉ, vive ja ˆvyeene woosaaka weewe.” [“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43Murimʉ mʉʉja fuma kurumwii ʉkamʉfʉmɨra, maa ʉkamʉheera ngururu.Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

44Yéesu akatuuba loomba mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ na ajáa atɨɨte uturikiri na alʉngʉrɨráa nɨ ʉsʉʉngʉ. Na mpɨɨndɨ ˆaloombáa, irʉtɨra raachwe rɨkava ja matóonti ya sakami yoowya na ɨsɨ.]And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45Aho, akiinʉka hara kʉʉntʉ ˆamʉloombáa Ijʉva, akahɨndʉka na kwa vapooji vaachwe. Kʉra akavashaana valɨ́ɨre, sa vajáa vakátɨɨre sa viintʉ vajáa vaviswɨ́ɨre.When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46Akavuurya akavasea, “Sa che mʉnyéyyiirye? Inuki, mʉloombi Mʉlʉʉngʉ, karɨ jɨ mwɨɨngɨre mʉtehwii tʉkʉ.”“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

47Mpɨɨndɨ Yéesu ˆajáa akaarɨ yoolʉʉsɨka na vapooji vaachwe, mpuka ya vaantʉ ˆvalóngwɨɨrwe nɨ Yʉ́ʉda, ʉmwɨ wa vapooji vaachwe ikimi na vavɨrɨ, ɨkafika. Yʉ́ʉda akamʉseeserera Yéesu sa amʉsʉndɨre.While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48Maa kaa, Yéesu akamʉsea, “Aka Yʉ́ʉda! Eri, nɨ kʉmʉvarindʉka wiise Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ ko mʉnsʉndɨra wʉʉ?”But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49Vapooji va Yéesu ˆvakoone yara ˆyarɨ fʉmɨra, maa vakamuurya Yéesu, “Mʉkʉ́lʉ, tʉvatemeteme na nyaasʉka wʉʉ?”Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

50Hahara, ʉmwɨ waavo akamʉtema na nyaasʉka mʉtʉmami wa mweeneɨsɨ mʉkʉʉlʉ, kutu kwa kʉlʉme dúú.And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51Maa kaa, Yéesu akasea, “Reki!” Aho, akamʉsaasya kʉra kutu na ʉra mʉʉntʉ akahola.But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52Aho, maa Yéesu akavuurya vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva, vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va valʉkalʉka va Kaayii Njija ya Ijʉva na vawosi ˆvajáa vuújire, “Nɨɨnɨ ndɨrɨ mʉhóki vaantʉ viintʉ muújire na nyaasʉka na nkusi wʉʉ?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?

53Sikʉ joosi nɨjáa na nyuunyu waámii wa Kaaya Njija, maa kaa, kʉra sɨ mwaankwaatáa tʉkʉ. Haaha vyavɨ́ɨre mpɨɨndɨ jaanyu, mpɨɨndɨ mʉtemi wa kilwiirya ˆyookɨɨmɨrɨra!”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.”

54Aho, vakamʉkwaata Yéesu, maa vakamʉtwaala fʉʉrʉ kaayii kwa mweeneɨsɨ mʉkʉʉlʉ. Peéteri ne akatuuba nyuma kwa kʉlɨ.Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

55ˆVakakorye mooto katɨkatɨ ya waama, maa vakiikala hamwɨ vookoota mooto. Peéteri ne akiikala hamwɨ novo.When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56Mʉtʉmami ʉmwɨ wa kɨɨntʉ kiki akamoona Peéteri iíkyɨɨre hara mootwii. Akamʉlaanga neeja, maa akasea, “Baa mʉʉntʉ ʉhʉ nɨ hamwɨ aarɨ na Yéesu.”A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

57Maa kaa, Peéteri akasiita yoosea, “Aka, mʉʉntʉ muki, sɨ namʉmányire tʉkʉ!”But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

58Mpɨɨndɨ kiduudi mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ akamoona Peéteri, maa akamʉsea, “Baa weewe ʉrɨ ʉmwɨ waavo!” Maa kaa, Peéteri akasea, “We mʉʉntʉ we, nɨɨnɨ tʉkʉ!”A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59Ja isaa rɨmwɨ jei ˆrɨkalooke, mʉʉntʉ wɨɨngɨ akuumirirya yoosea, “Kɨkomi mʉʉntʉ ʉhʉ nɨ hamwɨ aarɨ ne sa baa yeeye woosi nɨ Mʉgaliláaya.”About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

60Aho, Peéteri akamʉsea, “We mʉʉntʉ we, sɨ nootaanga kɨra ˆwoolʉʉsa tʉkʉ!” Hahara viintʉ ˆalʉʉsáa masáare ayo, nkʉkʉlʉme ɨkavɨɨka.“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61Aho, Mweenevyoosi akiilorera, akamʉlaanga Peéteri. Peéteri akakʉmbʉkɨra masáare ˆmeene aarɨ awyɨ́ɨrɨɨrwe nɨ Mweenevyoosi, “Isikʉ nkʉkʉlʉme sɨ ɨnavɨɨka, sea ʉrɨ sɨ waamányire tʉkʉ katatʉ.”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.”

62Peéteri akafuma na weerwii, maa akɨɨta koorɨra maatʉkʉ vii.And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63Vara vaantʉ ˆvamʉlaangiriryáa Yéesu vakaanda kʉmʉhenchʉla no mʉvaa.The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64Vakamuchuunga ntaamɨ miiswii, maa de vandoomʉhenchʉla voosea, “Hoonɨ taanga nɨ ani ˆakʉváire?”They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65Vakatuuba kʉmʉtʉkɨra mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ.And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66ˆKʉkamwaae, Balása Nkʉʉlʉ ya vawosi, hamwɨ na vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva, na vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va vakiindya va Miiro vakalʉmana. Yéesu ne akareetwa na mbere yaavo.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,

67Aho, vakamuurya voosea, “Tʉwyɨɨre! Weewe noo Masía wʉʉ?” Yéesu akavasea, “Baa koonɨ navawyɨ́ɨrɨɨre sɨ mʉrɨ ruma vii tʉkʉ.“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

68Kei baa koonɨ navuúriirye, sɨ mʉrɨ kuuyirya vii tʉkʉ.And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69Maa kaa, kwaandɨra haaha Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ iíkyɨɨre mʉkono wa kʉlʉme wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ Mweenengururu.”But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70Aho, voosi vakamuurya, “Eri, weewe noo Mwaana wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ wʉʉ?” Yeeye akavasea, “Nyuunyu mulúusire nɨɨnɨ ndɨrɨ!”So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

71Aho, maa vakasea, “Ʉshahíidi wɨɨngɨ ʉrɨkwɨ kei toosaaka kʉlookya ʉhʉ? Suusu veeneevyo tatéɨɨre fuma mʉlomwii waachwe.”“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
