Matthew 27 (MGV)

1Pulukela aka agolu akolongu boti na aka aseja ba bandu batenda kulongalane baamua kunkoma Yesu.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Bunkonga, bunzukua nukumpeleka kwaka Pilatu, jojabi kilongosi ju pundema jojahaguliwi nu nkolongu juku Loma.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Yuda, joang'anambuka Yesu, pajwabona Yesu atenda kuntemu, gumbina mwoju, jwaakelabukia agolu akolongu bala na aseja, mangengalema makomi matatu gulupija yela.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.

4Jwaapwagila, “Ndei mahakau ndaba nung'anambwiki mundu jwanga mahakau ili jukomika.” Lakini bombi bapwaga, “Kwali wamwete, twepani ngasetuhusika.”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Henu Yuda jwalekala pee lupija lola pa Nyumba jaka Sapanga, ndienu japita kunza nukujenda kulikonge.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Agolu akolongu bajukua lupija lola, nukupwaga, “Lupija alo ngaselupalika kulubeka pi kikoku sa Nyumba jaka Sapanga, ndaba londo lupija lobapia ndaba jukukome.”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.”

7Ndi bajetangania lupija lola kulombe litui la bandu baabombe ibega pabia pandu pukutagi bandu ageni.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Ndienu mbaki lelenu litui lela bilikema, “Litui lelalombika kupete lupija lukukome.”That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Ndi gatimia gajwapwaga mlota waka Sapanga Yelemia pajwapwaga, “Bajukua mangengalema makomi matatu gulupija yebajetangana bandu buku Izilaeli kundepe,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,

10balombila litui la bandu babomba ibega, ngati Bambu hejanagalakiya nepani.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Yesu jajemiki palongi juku nkolongu ju Loma. Ndi Nkolongu hoju anndalukia, “Boo, weapa lee ndi Bambu Nkolongu jwa Ayaude?” Yesu japwaga, “Upwagiki weapa.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Lakini agolu akolongu na aseja pababia atenda kuntaki, ngasejwajibwiki lilobe.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Ndienu pilatu andalukia Yesu, “Boo, ngasegujogwana matakilu gabugutakali weapa?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Lakini Yesu ngase jwajibwiki hata lilobi limu, nkolongu juku Loma jola jwasangi ngamaa.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Kila lisoba la tipati ja Pasaka, nkolongu juku Loma jayobali kunhuhogule mpungwa jumu bandu babumpai.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Masoba gala jwabi mpungwa jumu jojwamanyikini ngamaa, liina laki Balaba.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Ndi bandu hebakusanyiki pamu, Pilatu jwaalalukia, “Mpala nunhogulia nyane kati ja bandu abeli haba? Boo, nundekakiya Balaba au Yesu jobunkema Kilisituje?”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?”

18Pilatu jwapwaga hela ndaba jwamanyiki bundeta Yesu kwaki ndaba bumbonila wipu.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Pilatu pajwabia jutemi pikiteu sukutemu, nhwanu waki ampelakia lilobi, “Wiitenda sokapi kwaka mundu ajo jwanga mahakau, ndaba lelenu ikilu ng'aliki ngamaa nndotu ndaba jaki.”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.”

20Lakini agolu akolongu naaka aseja baakolua bandu bundoba Pilatu bunndekakia Balaba na Yesu jukuwa.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Pilatu jwaalalukia kabee, “Jwaa kati ja baamba jompala nundekakiyaje?” Bajibua, “Balaba!”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Pilatu jwaalalukia, “Henu nuntenda boo Yesu jobunkema Kilisitu?” Boti bapwaga, “Umbambaliaje pu nsalaba!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Pilatu jwaalalukia, “Ndaba ja kike? Jutei ubaja bole?” Bombi baendalia kujamali kwa sauti koni bakapwaga, “Umbambalia punsalaba!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Pilatu hejwamanya ngajuwesi kutenda sokapi na puju japala kutumbuli, jwajukua masi, nukusamba maboku palongi ja bandu bala nukupwaga, “Nengasemii na mahakau kupete kuwa kwaka mundu ajo, namu kwali mwabee.”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.”

25Bandu boka bapwaga, “Mahakau ga kuwa kwaki gabiya panani jitu na panani ja bana bitu!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Ndipala Pilatu andekakiya Balaba ndaba jabu jupita mukipungu, na jaapwagila bunndapula Yesu iboku nukumbambali pu nsalaba.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Ndienu alonda baka Pilatu bumpelika Yesu mu nyumba jaka Pilatu, nu nsambi wa alonda bunnyongulota Yesu.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Bunhula ingobu yaki, bunhuwatika lingobu likeli lu ubambu.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Ndipala baloka kihilingu sa miha, nukunhwatika kumutu jaki, bumbekila kabee nndai mu kuboku kwaki kwa malele. Bapega magoti palongi jaki, bundongama bapwaaga, “Jambu oti Bambu nkolongu jwa Ayaudi!”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!”

30Bunhunila imata, buujukua nndai gola, bundapula nagu kumutu.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Pabajomula kundongama, bunhula kanzu ngeli jela nukunhwatika kabee ingobu yaki. Nukumpeleka kumbambali punsalaba.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.

32Pababia atenda kujenda, baketangana na mundu jumu bunkema Simoni, mwenei juku Kilene, bunndasimisa kutoto nsalaba waka Yesu.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Pabahika pandu pabapakema Goligota maana jaki pandu pi Lihupa li Kimutu,And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34Bumpekia divai jeahangangini na sindu sekibaba, lakini Yesu pajwaonza jwakanaa kunywa.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Batenda kumbambali pu nsalaba, nukubagana ingobu yaki sukugapege gudugudu.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Ndienu pala batama pai koni bukunndonda.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Panani jaki babeka lilobi lelilangi ndaba jukutakiliwa kwaki: “Jonzo ndi Yesu Bambu Nkolongu jwa Ayaudi.”Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Bii abeli nabombi baabambalia panani ju nsalaba pamu na Yesu, jumu upandi uku mangegi na gongi upandi uku malele.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Bandu bababia apeta pala, banyua imutu yabu koni bukundongama nukuntondoo bakapwaga,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40“Oo! We si wapwaga wiibombula nyumba jaka Sapanga nukusenga masoba gatatu? Henu, uliokua wa mweti! Ana sakaka weapa wa mwana waka Sapanga huluka pu nsalaba hapa sajenu!”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!”

41Ahelahe agolu akolongu pamu na abola ba Malagalaki na aseja nabombi batenda kunndongama koni bakapwaga,In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42“Jwaakombula bangi, lakini jusindwa kulioko mweni! Ati jombi Bambu nkolongu jwa Ayahude! Henu julihulua pu nsalaba natwepani tunhobaliaje.“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.

43Jombi anhobalia Sapanga na jwapwaga jombi Mwana waka Sapanga. Ana Sapanga ampala jombi anhokuaje.He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44“Kabee bababi abambaliwi pu nsalaba pamu najombi batenda kuntondo.”In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Tumbuka lisaa la sita mbaka lisaa la tisa, lwii lwijiyekalia ndema joti.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Hekwabia saa tisa lyobamutu Yesu jwalela sukujamali, “Eloi, Eloi Lama sabakitani?” Maana jaki, “Sapanga wangu, Sapanga wangu, ndaba jaki undei kuneka?”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?”

47Bandu bangi babajemiki pala bala pabajogwana bapwaga, “Ankema Elia.”When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Apalapa jumu wabu jwaboka imbelu nukujuku kipongu, nukukijingi mu divai jejibaba nukukikonga punndai nukuntondabake Yesu jukunywa.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.

49Bangi bapwaaga, “Tunndolake hoti ana Elia juhika kugombo.”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Yesu jwalela kabee sukujamali kwa sauti ngolongu, ndienu na kuwa.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Apalapa lipazia lu mu Nyumba jaka Sapanga lajenduka ipandi ibeli, toka kunani mbaka pai, ndema jatenda kubagaja malibu makolongu gatenda kusekuka,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52mmatenge gatenda kuhukuka na bandu bingi baka Sapanga babawi batenda kuyoka.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Nabombi bapita kunza ja matenge na Yesu pajayoka bajenda ku musi wa sapi uku Yelusalemu na bandu bingi baabweni.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Ndienu nkolongu jwaalonda jumu na bangi bababia pamu najombi bukundonda Yesu, pababona kililima sa ndema na majambu gagapitila gala, bajogupa ngamaa, bapwaga, “Sakaka jonzo jabii Mwana waka Sapanga.”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.”

55Pandu je pala babii aka mbomba abeli bakalingalia sukutali. Haba ndi babumpwata Yesu kuhuma ku Galilaya ndi babuhudumia.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Jwabii Malia juku Magidala na Malia amabu baka Yakobu na Josepu na amabu baka bana baka Zebedayu.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Pakamihi jwahika mundu jumu mwana mali mwenei juku Alimatayo, liina laki Josepu. Najombi jwabia mbolee waka Yesu.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Anzendila Pilatu nukuloba ampekia nhyega jaka Yesu. Ndienu Pilatu jwalagalakia bumpekya.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Josepu jwajukua nhyega jaka Yesu jela, jwiiyongalatia ingobu nhuu.So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60Josepu jabeka nhyega jaka Yesu nkati jilitenge laki linyai lejwabi julisongiki mweni pililibu. Ndienu juliingalatiya lilibu likolongu palongi junndyangu ulitengee nu kuboka.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.

61Malia juku Magidala na Malia jongi jola babia atemi papu kulilingali litengee.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Kilabu jaki, labia lisoba lukuandaa Lisoba lu Kupomulela, Agolu akolongu na aka Afalisayu bunzendila Pilatu,The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63bumpwagila, “Nkolongo, tukomboka jojulonge isoli jola pajabi mwomi jwapwaga ati, ‘Nagapetiki masoba matatu nitenda kuyoka.’“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Enu gulagalakia litenge laki bililonda sapi mbaka lisoba la tatu ili banafunzi baki bihika kujiba nhyega jaki nakaapwaji bandu jutei kuyoka. Isoli heji jamwisu jibia jiliya ngani kupeta jejatumbulia.”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.”

65Pilatu jwapwaga, “Alonda mmbii nabu, nzendania mwaka londa ngati henhwesa.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Ndi bajenda, bililonda litenge, bilibeka halama panani ji lilibu lela nakaabeka alonda.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
