Matthew 26 (MGV)

1Yesu pajajomula kupwaga haga goti, jaapwagila banafunzi baki,When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

2“Mmanyiki egipeta masoba mabeli gibiya tipati ja Pasaka, Mwana waka Mundu bankamula ili bumbambaliya pu nsalaba.”“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Masoba ge haga agolu akolongu na aseja ba bandu baketangana pamu pa sengu jaka Kayafa, jojabii nngolu nkolongu.At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4Bataputa indela juu ujanza juku nkamu Yesu nunkukoma.and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

5Lakini baamua lijambu lee liihengeka lisoba la tipati ja Pasaka, ili bandu biileta puju.“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6Yesu pajwabii ku Betania, mu nyumba jaka Simoni joandamisa ugonzu ukuleleka,While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7mmbomba jumu anhikila koni jutogwi lisupa lealenganisi kwi lilibu lebilikema alabasita lelatweli mahuta gaganungali gabei ngolongu, anzitila Yesu kumutu pajabiya jukula posu.a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

8Banafunzi baki ebabona hela basuki nukupwaga, “Ndaba ja kii kuhoa mahuta hela?When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

9Mahuta ge haga bakalombisa kwa bei ngolongo, lupija lwe bakaapekia aka kapuku.”This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

10Yesu jagamanyiki mawasu gabu jaapwajila, “Ndaba jakii munsumbu nyongo jonzo? Jombi juhengiki lijambu la amboni ngamaa.Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

11Aka kapuku mmbinaku masoba goha lakini ngamwikubi na nepani masoba goha.The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

12Nyongo ajo pajanyegi mahuta gaganungi jabiya juandaa nhyega jango ndaba jukujitaga.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

13Numpwagi sakaka, pokapi pundema pabiilandila Lijambu la Amboni, sejuhengiki nyongo jonzo biilandila sukunkomboka jombi.”Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

14Ndienu jumu ja banafunzi komi na abeli jobukema Yuda Isikalioti, jajenda kwaka agolu akolongu,Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15jaapwagila, “Mwimbekia sindu boo nanung'anambwiki Yesu?” Bumbalangiya mangengalema makomi matatu gu lupija nukumpeke.and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.

16Tumbuka pala, Yuda jabiya jutaputa mbekenyu jukunng'anambuka Yesu.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

17Lisoba lukutumbuli la tipati ga mabumunda ganga kujege amila, banafunzi bunzendila Yesu nukupwagi, “Boo gupala tukuguhandaliya kwako posu ja Pasaka?”On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

18Jombi japwaga, “Nnzendaniya ku musi kwaka mundu jumu mwanalomi mukupwagila, ‘Mbola jupwaga masoba gangu gahegalii. Nepani na banafunzi bangu twikula posu ja Pasaka mu nyumba jaku.’ ”He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”

19Ndienu banafunzi bahenga ngati Yesu ejaapwagila, na bombi baandia posu jakula Pasaka.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20Ekwahika pakamii, Yesu jakula posu pamu na banafunzi baki komi na abeli.When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21Pababia bakakula, Yesu japwaaga, “Numpwagi sakaka jumu wi jwiindenda kung'anambuka.”And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22Banafunzi baki gwaabiniki mwoju ngamaa, kila mundu jatumbuliya kundaluki Yesu, “Boo, Bambu, nepane lena?”They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Yesu jaapwajila, “Jojutobe libumunda laki pamu na nepani mmbakuli ndi jojing'anumbuka.Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24Mwana waka Mundu jujenda kuwa, ngati eahandiki mu Maandiku gaka Sapanga. Lakini musijikiboni mundu joang'anumbuka Mwana waka Mundu! Kwiibiya mbanga mundu hoju ejakasindiki kusaliwa.”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.”

25Yuda, ndi jojapala kunng'anumbuka andalukiya, “Mbola, boo, nepane?” Yesu jajibua, “Weapa gupwajiki.”Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

26Pababiya bakakula, Yesu jwajukua libumunda, ansengula Sapanga, jamega, jaapekia banafunzi baki japwaga, “Nnzukua mkula, jenze nhyega jango.”While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”

27Ndipala jajukua nnzipuli wa divai ja zabibu jwasengula, jaapekia koni jupwaga, “Nkunywa mwaboa.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28Gongo mwai wango wa malagano gogujitika ndaba jakulekake bandu bingi ili alekakiwa mahakau.This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29Numpwaji ngangunywi kabee divai ja zabibu mbaka lisoba paniikunywa divai inyai pamu nu mbanganya mu Ukolongu wa Atati bango.”I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

30Ebajomula kujemba nhwambu gu ulumbi, jaboka jajenda ku Kitombi si Mizeituni.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Ndienu Yesu jaapwajila, “Ikilu ja lelenu, kila mundu musijundenda kundila nukuneka ngati Maandiku gaka Sapanga egapwaga, ‘Nandapula nndimi, nu nsambi wa makondoo wiitenda kupesangana.’Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32Lakini eniiyoka, nandonguliya kujenda ku Galilaya.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Petili apwagila Yesu, “Hata ngati boka baguleka weapa, nepani nganuguleki.”Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34Yesu ampwagila, “Nugupwagi sakaka, ikilu jenze kabula ji likongobi kubeka wingana mala pa tato.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35Petili apwagila, “Nganugukane hata nakupalika kuwa pamu naweapa.” Na banafunzi bangi boti bapwaga ahelahela.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

36Ndipala Yesu jajenda pamu na banafunzi baki pandu pabapakema Getisemani, jaapwajila, “Ntamaniya pamba nane nyenda palapa kundoba Sapanga.”Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Anzukua Petili pamu na bana abeli baka Zebedayu bala, jatumbuliya kuhangajika nukumbina mwoju.He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38Papuje japwaaga, “Mwoju wangu gubi nuusungu ngamaa gukuegale kuwa. Ntamaniya kelukelu pamu nanepane.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Jajenda palongi kidogu, jahabuka ukupama nukundoba Sapanga, “Atati bangu, ana kuwesikana, mokia nzipuli ukung'alika gongo kuhuma kwango. Lakini nga ngati embala nepani ila ngati egupala weapa.”Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

40Ndipala ejwaakelubukiya banafunzi baki, jwaaketaniya agoni. Andalukiya Petili, “Boo ngasemwawesiki kukeluki pamu nanepani hata lisaa limo?Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.

41Ntama na nndoba ili mwijingi mu milengu. Loho jipala lakini nhyega ngase jibii namakili.”“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42Yesu jajenda kabee, jaloba, “Atati bangu, ana kuwesakini nnzipuli gukung'alika gongo gumbeta kutali bila kunywa, ila gagupala weapa gahengika.”A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43Pajakelubuka kabee, jaakolila agoni ndaba mihu gabu gabi nulugonu.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44Yesu jaaleka, jajenda kabee kuloba mala ja tatu, jaloba kabee ahelahela.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45Ndienu jaajendila banafunzi nakapwaji, “Boo, mwakona nngoni nukupomulela? Nndinga muda guhikiki na Mwana waka Mundu bumpeleka kwa bandu bana mahakau.Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46Nnzemaniya, tumbokaniya. Nndingaliya, juhika jola jojing'alumbuka.”Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

47Yesu pajabiya jakalongila nabu, Yuda jumu ja banafunzi komi na abeli bala, jahika na bandu bingi baatogwi mapanga na ibonga babube babiya ahikiki sukutumwa na agolu akolongu na aseja babandu.While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48Yuda jabiya jaapeki nginyuli jukupwaga, “Mundu jonukukumbatiya jola ndi jombi, mukunkamula.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49Yuda anzendila Yesu nukupwagi, “Jambu otii Mbola!” Ndi jwatenda kukumbati.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50Yesu jaapwajila, “Nkose, henga seguhikiki kuhenga.” Papuje bandu bala bunhegaliya Yesu nukunkamu nukumbeka pai juulonda wabu.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

51Jumu ja bandu bababi pamu na Yesu bala jahopula upanga waki andapula ntumisi wa agolu akolongu, nukunseku likutu.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Yesu ampwagila, “Kelubua upanga waku munhaku waki. Ndaba jokapi jojukoma kupete upanga jiikuwa nuupanga.“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53Uhambusi ngasenhwesa kwaaloba Atati bangu anetila hikundi ya alonda komi na abele ba atumisi bu kunani ahika kunyangatila?Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

54Lakini giitimia boo Maandiku gaka Sapanga ganga gagapwaga majambu ge haga kupalika gapitila?”But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

55Apalapa Yesu jugupwajila nsambi wa bandu bala, “Boo, nhikiki kungamu kwa mapanga niibonga nepani ngati lee jojuhalabana malagalaki gaka Sapanga? Kila lisoba nabii pamu numbanganya pa Nyumba jaka Sapanga nakabolisa, ngasemwangamwi.At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.

56Lakini ganga gapiti ili gaandiki alota baka Sapanga gatimia.” Ndipala banafunzi baki bundeka nukutila.But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

57Babunkamula Yesu bala bumpelika kunyumba jaka Kayafa, nngolu nkolongu, kobaketangini abola bamalagalaki na aka kilongosi.Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

58Petili ampwata sukutali mbaka paua jaka Nngolu nkolongu. Jajingala nkati jatama pai na alonda ili juwesa kulinga gagiibiya.But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

59Agolu akolongu na sengu joka bataputa malobi gi isoli ili bunkoma Yesu,Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

60lakini ngasebapata malobi gokapai, hata ngati bahikiki bandu bingi babapwaga malobi giisoli. Ndipala pamwisu we baika bandu abeli,But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

61bapwaaga, “Mundu jonzo japwaga, ‘Nhwesa kubombo Nyumba jaka Sapanga nukusenga kabee kwa masoba matato.’ ”and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

62Nngolu nkolongu jajema nukundaluki Yesu, “Boo ngasegubi nu sukupwaga? Boo bandu aba bugutakii ndaba jakikee?”So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63Lakini Yesu ngasejapwajiki sindo. Nngolu nkolongu ampwagila, “Nugulapisa kwaka Sapanga jojubi mwomi. Utupwajila anaweapa ndi wa Kilisitu Nkombosi Mwana waka Sapanga!”But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

64Yesu japwaaga, “Weapa gupwaga. Lakini numpwagi mwaboti tumbuka sajenu nukuendalee mwambona Mwana waka Mundu jutemi upandi wa malele waka Sapanga jwana makili, jwihika panani ja mahundi gukunani kwaka Sapanga.”“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65Pajajowana Nngolu nkolongu malobi haga jajendula ingobu jaki nukupwaga, “Jutenda kutondoka. Ngasetupala mundu jongi juhika kuntakila kabee? Mwabee nzowini ejutondwiki.At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.

66Boo mwanganya mmbona bole?” Bombi bajibua, “Jubii na makosa kupalika jukomikaje.”What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

67Ndipala buhunila imata kumihu, nukundapu. Bangi babiya bundapu iganzaThen they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

68koni bakapwaga, “Wehapa gu Kilisitu Nkombosi! Lotila nya jojugulapwi?”and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

69Petili jabii nkati ja hua. Ntumisi jumu mmbomba anzendila nukumpwagi, “Na wehapa wabii pamu na Yesu mwenei ku Galilaya.”Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.

70Lakini Petili jakana palongi jabu jwapwaga, “Ngasemanyiki segumpwaga.”But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

71Ndienu pajapita kunza, kola ntumisi jongi mmbomba ambona, jaapwagila bandu boti bababi pala, “Mundu jonzo jabii pamu na Yesu juku Nazaleti.”When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72Petili jakana kabee kukulapa, “Ngasenummanyi mundu ajo.”And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

73Monikatae bandu babajemiki pala bunzendila Petili bumpwagila, “Sakaka weapa ndi jumu wabu, ndaba hata kulonge kwaku kubonikana wehapa guhumi ku Galilaya.”After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”

74Ndienu petili jatumbuliya kulilobe yaambamba nukulapa sukupwaga, “Ngasenumanyi mundu ajo!” Apalapa likongobi latenda kubeka.At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

75Petili jakombuka malobi gajwapwaga Yesu, “Kabula likongobi ngaselibekiki wingana mala pa tato.” Ndienu japita kunza koni julela ku usungu.Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
