Mark 14 (LUG) · Opened

1Embaga ey’Okuyitako, kwe baliira emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse, yali ebuzaayo ennaku bbiri etuuke. Bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne basala olukwe engeri gye banaakwata Yesu bamutte.Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

2Ne bagamba nti, “Si mu kiseera ky’embaga y’Okuyitako, kubanga abantu bayinza okuleetawo akeegugungo.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

3Mu kiseera ekyo Yesu ng’ali Besaniya mu nnyumba y’omusajja eyali amanyiddwa nga Simooni Omugenge, ng’atudde, omukazi n’ayingira ng’alina eccupa, eyalimu amafuta ag’akaloosa ag’omuwendo omungi. N’ayasa eccupa n’asiiga amafuta ku mutwe gwa Yesu.While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.

4Abamu ku abo abaaliwo ne basunguwalira nnyo ekikolwa ekyo, nga beebuuza nti, “Amafuta ago gafudde ki?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5Wakiri singa gatundiddwa dinaali ezisukka mu bikumi ebisatu, ne ziweebwa abaavu!” Ne bamwemulugunyiza.It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Omukazi mumuleke. Lwaki mumuteganya? Ankoledde ekikolwa kirungi.But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7Abaavu muli nabo bulijjo, era muyinza okubakolera obulungi buli we mwagalidde, naye Nze sijja kubeera nammwe bulijjo.The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8Akoze ky’asobola, omubiri gwange agusiigiddewo amafuta ag’akaloosa nga bukyali, ng’aguteekateeka okuziikibwa.She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli kifo kyonna Enjiri gy’eneebuulirwanga mu nsi yonna, ekikolwa ky’omukazi ono kinajjukirwanga era kinaayongerwangako okumujjukiranga.”And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

10Awo Yuda Isukalyoti, omu ku bayigirizwa ba Yesu ekkumi n’ababiri, n’agenda eri bakabona abakulu alabe bw’anaalyamu Yesu olukwe amubawe.Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11Bakabona abakulu bwe baakiwulira ne basanyuka nnyo, ne bamusuubiza okumuwa ensimbi. Bw’atyo Yuda n’atandika okunoonyereza engeri entuufu w’anaaweerayo Yesu.They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

12Awo ku lunaku olusooka olw’embaga y’Abayudaaya kwe baliira emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse, nga bawaayo omwana gw’endiga ogw’Okuyitako nga ssaddaaka, abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza nti, “Oyagala tukutegekere wa gy’onooliira Embaga ey’Okuyitako.”On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13N’atuma babiri ku bayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Mugende mu kibuga munaasanga omusajja eyeetisse ensuwa y’amazzi, mumugoberere.So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

14Muyingire mu nnyumba mw’anaayingira, mubuuze nnyinimu nti, ‘Ekisenge nze n’abayigirizwa bange mwe tunaalira Embaga ey’Okuyitako kiri ludda wa?’and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

15Ajja kubalaga ekisenge ekinene ekya waggulu, ekiwedde okulongoosa n’okutegeka. Muteekereteekere omwo ekijjulo kyaffe.”And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16Awo abayigirizwa ababiri ne bagenda mu kibuga, ne basanga byonna nga Yesu bwe yabibagamba, ne bateekateeka Okuyitako.So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

17Obudde bwe bwawungeera n’atuuka n’abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18Bwe baali batudde nga balya, Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti omu ku mmwe alya nange anandyamu olukwe.”And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19Ennaku n’ebakwata nnyo, ne batandika okumubuuza kinnoomu nti, “Ddala ye nze?”They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20N’abagamba nti, “Omu ku mmwe ekkumi n’ababiri, akoza nange mu kibya.He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21Omwana w’Omuntu agenda ng’Ebyawandiikibwa bwe biri. Naye zimusanze alya mu Mwana w’Omuntu olukwe. Kyandibadde kirungi singa omuntu oyo teyazaalibwa.”The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22Awo bwe baali balya, Yesu n’addira omugaati, ne yeebaza, n’agumenyaamenyamu, n’agabira abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Mutoole mulye, guno gwe mubiri gwange.”While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

23Ate n’addira ekikompe ne yeebaza n’akibawa; bonna ne banywa.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24N’abagamba nti, “Guno musaayi gwange ogw’endagaano, oguyiika ku lw’abangi.He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Ddala ddala mbagamba nti sigenda kuddayo kunywa ku kibala kya muzabbibu okutuusa ku lunaku luli lwe ndikinywa nga kisingawo obulungi mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

26Awo ne bayimbayo oluyimba, ne bafuluma ne bagenda ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Buli omu ku mmwe ajja kunjabulira, kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “ ‘Ndikuba omusumba, endiga ne zisaasaana.’Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

28Naye bwe ndimala okuzuukizibwa, ndibakulembera okugenda e Ggaliraaya.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Abalala bonna ne bwe banaakwabulira, nze siikwabulire!”Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ddala ddala nkugamba nti ekiro kya leero, enkoko eneeba tennakookolima mirundi ebiri, onooneegaana emirundi esatu.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31Peetero n’akiggumiza nnyo ng’agamba nti, “Oba kufiira wamu naawe n’afa, naye sijja kukwegaana n’akamu kokka.” N’abalala bonna ne beerayirira bwe batyo.But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.

32Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne batuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Gesusemane, n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Mugira mutuula wano, ŋŋende nsabe.”Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33N’atwala Peetero, ne Yakobo ne Yokaana; n’atandika okweraliikirira n’okuteganyizibwa mu mutima.He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34N’abagamba nti, “Omwoyo gwange guliko ennaku nnyingi nnyo zaagala na kunzita, kale mubeere wano mukuume.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35Ne yeeyongerako mu maaso katono, n’agwa wansi n’asaba obanga kisoboka, essaawa eyo, ereme kutuuka.Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36N’asaba nti, “Aba, Kitange, ebintu byonna bisoboka gy’oli. Nzigyako ekikompe kino. Naye si nga Nze bwe njagala, wabula nga ggwe bw’oyagala.”“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37N’akomawo gye bali, n’abasanga nga beebase. N’agamba Peetero nti, “Simooni! Weebase? Tosobodde kutunulako nange wadde essaawa emu?Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Mutunule musabe, muleme kukemebwa. Omwoyo gwagala, naye omubiri munafu.”Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39Ate n’abaleka awo n’addayo, n’asaba ebigambo bye bimu na biri bye yasaba olubereberye.Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40N’akomawo we bali, n’abasanga nga beebase, kubanga amaaso gaabwe gaali gakambira. Ne batamanya kya kumuddamu.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41Bwe yadda gye bali omulundi ogwokusatu n’abagamba nti, “Kale mwebakire ddala. Kinaamala, laba ekiseera kituuse Omwana w’Omuntu aweebweyo mu mikono gy’abalina ebibi.When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42Musituke! Tugende, laba andyamu olukwe anaatera okutuuka.”Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

43Yesu yali akyayogera, amangwago Yuda (omu ku batume be ekkumi n’ababiri) n’ajja ng’ali n’ekibiina kinene, ekyava ewa bakabona abakulu, n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, nga balina ebitala era nga bakutte emiggo.While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

44Yuda yali abagambye nti, “Gwe nnanywegera, ye wuuyo mumukwate, mumutwale nga mumunywezezza.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Awo baali baakatuuka Yuda n’alaga eri Yesu, bwe yamutuukako n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza!” N’amugwa mu kifuba.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Ne bavumbagira Yesu ne bamukwata, ne bamunyweza.Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47Naye omu ku baali bayimiridde awo n’asowolayo ekitala n’asalako okutu kw’omuddu wa Kabona Asinga Obukulu.And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki munzijjidde ng’omumenyi w’amateeka, n’ebitala n’emiggo okunkwata?Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Mbadde nammwe ennaku nnyingi mu yeekaalu nga njigiriza, naye temwankwata. Naye kino kikoleddwa ebyawandiikibwa bituukirire.”Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

50Bonna ne bamwabulira ne badduka.Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51Naye waaliwo omulenzi omuvubuka eyali agoberera ng’avaako ennyuma, nga yeebikkiridde olugoye, lumu lwokka, ne baagezaako okumukwata,One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52n’abeesumattulako, ne basigaza olugoye n’adduka bwereere.but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53Awo Yesu n’atwalibwa eri Kabona Asinga Obukulu, bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka.They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54Peetero n’agoberera nga yeesuddeko akabanga, n’ayita mu luggya lwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’atuula ku kyoto n’abaweereza we baali bootera omuliro.Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.

55Bakabona abakulu, n’Abasaddukaayo bonna, baali banoonya obujulizi kwe banaasinziira okutta Yesu, naye ne bubabula.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

56Bangi baayogera eby’obulimba ku ye, naye obujulizi bwabwe nga bukoonagana bukoonaganyi.For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

57Abamu ku bo ne bamuwaayiriza nga bagamba nti,Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:

58“Twamuwulira ng’ayogera nti, ‘Ndizikiriza Yeekaalu eno eyazimbibwa n’emikono gy’abantu, naye oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu ndizzaawo endala etazimbiddwa na mikono gy’abantu.’ ”“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

59Naye era n’olwo ebigambo byabwe tebyatereera bulungi.But even their testimony was inconsistent.

60Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ayimirira, n’abuuza Yesu nti, “Tolina ky’oddamu ku bino bye bakwogerako?”So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

61Yesu n’atamuddamu kintu. Ate Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Kristo, Omwana w’oyo atenderezebwa?”But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62Yesu n’addamu nti, “Ye Nze, era mugenda kulaba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda Ayinzabyonna, ng’akomawo mu bire eby’eggulu.”“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’agamba nti, “Ate twetaagira ki abajulizi?At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

64Muwulidde obuvvoozi. Musala mutya omusango guno?” Bonna ne bamusalira gwa kufa.You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

65Abamu ne batandika okumuwandulira amalusu, ne bamusiba kantuntunu ku maaso, ne bamukuba empi mu maaso, nga bwe bamuduulira nga bagamba nti, “Lagula.” N’abaserikale nabo ne bamukuba ebikonde nga bamufulumya.Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.

66Peetero yali ali wabweru mu luggya, omu ku bawala abaweereza ba Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ajja.While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67Bwe yalaba Peetero n’amwetegereza ng’ayota omuliro, n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe, wali ne Yesu, Omunnazaaleesi.”and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68Peetero ne yeegaana ng’agamba nti, “Simanyi wadde okutegeera by’oyogerako!” N’afuluma n’alaga ebweru mu kisasi, enkoko n’ekookolima.But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

69Omuwala oli n’alengera Peetero, n’ategeeza banne abaali bayimiridde awo nti, “Ono ali omu ku bo.”There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70Peetero n’ayongera okwegaana. Bwe waayitawo akabanga, abantu abalala abaali bayimiridde awo ne bagamba Peetero nti, “Ddala ddala oli omu ku bo, kubanga oli Mugaliraaya!”But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

71Peetero n’atandika, okukolima n’okulayira nga bw’agamba nti, “Omusajja ono gwe mwogerako, simumanyi.”But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72Amangwago enkoko n’ekookolima omulundi ogwokubiri, Peetero n’ajjukira ebigambo Yesu bye yali amugambye nti, “Enkoko eneeba tennakookolima mirundi ebiri, onoonneegaana emirundi esatu.” Awo Peetero n’atulika n’akaaba amaziga.And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
