1Kife ki Ŋka wu Blɛd wù ba baaŋ kinshilɛ yo gɛɛ gɛ, wù ba tɛŋe lɛ Ŋka wu Ndaŋfe, gɛ̀ bee wu too wa mbebe le.Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2Bachiji kintanyɛ ba baaŋ baaŋ bɛ bamii ba gɛ̀ duunyi banchi ba Nyo, bo gɛ̀ goone je yì bo yuuyɛ Jiso nyu nyilɛ le, nje bo gɛ̀ faane bamii.and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

3Sataŋ lee a fitele fì Juda wù ba gɛ̀ tɛŋe lɛ Ɛkaliot le, nyu muh wu ŋgoo yi booŋ ba Jiso ba yuufe ncho bafɛɛ.Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4Wu ja wu gɛɛŋ fɛ bachiji kintanyɛ ba baaŋ baaŋ le, bɛ bikwɛɛ bi nchi bì gɛ̀ chiɛɛne yeh yi kintanyɛ. Bɛ bo mo bo seesɛ no wu lé wu gê fɛ wu gêsɛ Jiso bo le.And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5Bo yu njoŋ bo mo bo bɛɛŋ ki bo laŋɛ wu bɛ bige.They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6Wu bɛɛŋ, wu mo wu gɛɛŋ wu kɛ wu goone je yì wu lé wu nyâ Jiso chiaaŋ yiboo le, sege bamii ba duude ya fo gɛ.Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

7Juu chi Ŋka wu Blɛd wù ba baaŋ Kinshilɛ yo gɛɛ gɛ, chi ba lé ba sɛ̂ɛ mwa kiya wu Ŋka wu Ndaŋfe wɛɛ gɛ̀ to chi kojɛ,Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8Jiso mo wu tuŋ Bita bɛ Joŋ wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Bɛŋ gɛ̂ɛŋ bɛŋ sêesɛ mwɛɛ mù bee lé be gê be jî Ŋka wunɛ yu.”Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9Bo biih wu le lɛ, “Wo goone lɛ bee gɛɛŋ be seesɛ nyu faane?”“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10Wu chvuu bo le lɛ, “Bɛŋ yû, sege bɛŋ lese bɛŋ gɛɛne alaantɛŋ, bɛŋ lé bɛŋ yɛ̂ŋ muh mu le wu tuu joo a shaaŋ le, bɛŋ bî wu le, yeh yì wu gɛɛŋ wu lee yu.He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11Bɛŋ doo bɛŋ bi, bɛŋ jɛ̂mɛ chiji yeh yɛɛ le lɛ Muh wu N'yɛyɛ biide laa kibuu ki bamii ba njiɛnyɛ kɛɛ kì bɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo le bo ji Ŋka wu Ndaŋfe yu le faane la?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?’

12Wu mo wu dunyɛ kibuu ki yeh ki awe, ba nyu ba seesɛ wa ba kɛnyɛ, bɛŋ mo bɛŋ sêesɛ mwɛɛ munjile yu.”And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

13Noo, bo gɛɛŋ bo yɛŋ mwɛɛ gɛh yɛɛŋyɛɛŋ no Jiso gɛ̀ jɛmɛ bo le. Bo mo bo seesɛ mwɛɛ munjile mu Ŋka wu Ndaŋfe wuyu fo.So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14Lɛ kife to ki kojɛ, Jiso bɛ booŋ be ba ntuŋ to bo shii bo jii mwɛɛ.When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

15Wu ja wu jɛmɛ bo le lɛ, “Nchi ŋkoŋe lo baaŋ ki nji Ŋka wu Ndaŋfe wunɛ bɛ bɛŋ fɛ ŋge yɛŋ ŋgɛ wù too le.And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16Bɛŋ kêe lɛ gɛ mbaaŋ ŋka ŋge nji ŋka wunɛ gɛ, gɛɛne bude no fi lé fi gê fi tô fi kôjɛ sege Nyo lé wu gê wu sâge bvunfoŋ bwe.”For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17Wu jo fiŋkoo, wu nya kiyone Nyo le wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Bɛŋ kô bɛŋ mù bɛŋ bachii bɛŋ kɛnɛ.After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

18Nsɛŋe bɛŋ le lɛ, kɛge mɛɛse gɛɛne, gɛ mbaaŋ ŋka mu mbvuuŋ ma nchwɛŋ wu kite ki laane manɛ gɛ, gɛɛne bude sege bvunfoŋ bvu Nyo lé bvu gê bvu tô”For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19Wu jo blɛd, wu nya kiyone Nyo le, wu bwɛɛyɛ wu nya bo le wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Finɛ le ye yaŋ yi nnya nje bɛŋ. Bɛŋ gêe finɛ noo ki bɛŋ kwâji mɛ.”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.”

20Gɛh yɛɛŋyɛɛŋ no bo mɛɛse mwɛɛ munjile, wu jo fiŋkoo wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Fiŋkoo finɛ le maŋkaŋ ma manfɛŋ ma Nyo gwo bɛ kilɛmɛ kaŋ ki bu nje bɛŋ.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.

21Geenɛ, bɛŋ yêgɛ bɛŋ yû! Muh wù lé wu gêsɛ mɛ jii mwɛɛ fɛnɛ besa wu.Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

22Bɛŋ kêe lɛ muh wù jee che le Mwamuh lé wu gɛ̂ɛŋ gɛh no Nyo gɛ̀ seesɛ. Geenɛ, ŋgɛ wù baaŋ le fɛ muh wù lé wu gêsɛ wu le.”Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

23Bo mo bo kɛ bo biide ye yi biboo le laa muh wù taŋlo wu ge noo a bo ntɛnɛɛ le yɛɛŋ.Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

24Bo gɛ̀ ja bo kɛ kintɛɛnyɛ lɛbolɛbo laa bo le nɛ muh wù baaŋ a bo ntɛnɛɛ le yɛɛŋ?A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

25Jiso jɛmɛ bo le lɛ, “Banfoŋ ba bituŋ kɛme bvuŋga a bamii baboo we, bamii ba sage woŋ bo duu lɛ ba tɛ̂ŋe bo lɛ bitooŋ bi bamii.So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

26Geenɛ, gɛ taŋlo fi nyûme noo bɛ bɛŋ gɛ. Muh wù baaŋ a bɛŋ ntɛnɛɛ jôde lɛ wu le mwa wù shige, muh wu le kikwɛɛ le njɛ muh wù lɛne bɛŋ le bachii.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.

27Muh wù baaŋ le wù la, muh wù yɛmɛ wu jii lo nji le noo, muh wù dɛɛde le? Gɛ nyu muh wù yɛmɛ wu jii lo gɛ? Geenɛ nle a bɛŋ ntɛnɛɛ njɛ muh wù lɛne bɛŋ le.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.

28No nshee n'yɛde baŋgɛ segechii, le gɛh bɛŋ banɛ ba to ba nyume besabɛŋ.You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

29Fi mo fi nyu lɛ, gɛh yɛɛŋyɛɛŋ no Chii le wu nya mɛ bvunfoŋ lɛ nsâge, nnya tɛ bɛŋ bvuŋga lɛ bɛŋ sâge.And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

30Nnya wu lɛ besabɛŋ ge be jii mwɛɛ, be muu mwɛɛ kijusɛ kimimia a nto waŋ le, bɛŋ shiiyɛ yi bakala le, bɛŋ sage chikfuu chi Ishwala chi yuufe ncho chifɛɛ.”so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31Jiso mo wu ja wu tɛɛŋ Bita lɛ, “Samoŋ, Samoŋ yegɛ yu wo kêe lɛ Sataŋ le wu fi bvuŋga ki wu chɛ̂gɛ bɛŋ bachii wu bvusɛ bamu gɛh njɛ no muh to wu fɛɛde agiŋ wu bvusɛ munyi.Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

32Geenɛ nle mbuunɛ fɛ wo le, lɛ keefɛ fitele fiuŋ mo fi bu lo yi ye yaŋ le gɛ. Sege wo kaasɛ wo tɛɛŋ bvufee bwuŋ jiŋ, wo nya bvuŋga booŋ ba bwoo le.”But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33Bita du lɛ, “Tada, mo nyu ki ŋgɛɛŋ ncha, no nyu kɛnɛ ki ŋkwe lo, tu nle gɛh besa wo.”“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

34Jiso chvuu wu le lɛ, “Bita, yû nsɛŋe wo le, nyishii lé yi gê yi tôŋ abɛŋ, wo nyu wo faŋ wa mɛ kiŋgane kintɛde, lɛ gɛ wo kee mɛ gɛ.”But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35Wu ja wu biih bo le lɛ, “Bɛŋ kwaji kife kì ŋgɛ ntuŋ bɛŋ bige sɛŋ, kikɛɛ sɛŋ, jé sɛŋ, no bɛŋ gɛ̀ gɛnɛ bɛŋ jiɛnyi, bɛŋ gɛ̀ bee bɛŋ fu fiɛɛ?” Bo chvuu lɛ, “Ayɛɛ, bee gɛ̀ baaŋ fiɛɛ fu gɛ.”Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

36Wu mo wu jɛmɛ bo le lɛ, “Yi mɛɛse le, muh nɛ kɛme bige, mo nyu kikɛɛ, wu jo. Muh nɛ kɛme gɛ nyo yi jɛŋ gɛ, wu gesɛ kikuŋ ke wu gu nyo yu.“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.

37Njɛme finɛ nje fiɛɛ fì ba gɛ̀ saŋ a Ŋwa wu Nyo le lɛ, ‘Ba gɛ̀ taŋ wu bɛ bamii ba befe’, fi kɛme ki fi kooshɛ bɛ mɛ mɛɛse. Bɛŋ kêe lɛ mwɛɛ mù ba gɛ̀ saŋ kune mɛ lé mu tôo wa ki mu kôjɛ munchii.”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.”

38Bo mo bo jaŋɛ lɛ, “Tada, bîjɛ yɛ̂ŋ bee kɛme nyó yi jɛŋ yifiɛɛ.” Wu chvuu lɛ, “Bɛŋ lû noo!”So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

39Jiso gɛ̀ ja wu bu alaantɛŋ bɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo, bo mo bo kɛ bo bɛɛne mbegɛ wu Bite bi Olif, nyu no wu to wù gee.Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

40Bo bɛɛŋ bo bu fɛ bo gɛ̀ gɛɛne fo, wu jɛmɛ bo le lɛ, “Bɛŋ bûune lɛ keefɛ moŋ to fɛ bɛŋ le, wu ya bɛŋ gɛ.”When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

41No wu jɛmɛ noo, wu mo wu kɛŋsɛ wu gɛɛŋ wu bu fɛ taŋlo muh noŋ tɛdɛ chi gɛɛŋ chi bu fo, wu mo wu ŋgvuumɛ fɛkuu wu buunɛ lɛ,And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

42“Chii, fi nɛ le fi kojɛ fɛ wo le, wo chiaasɛ fiŋkoo fi ŋgɛ finɛ lɛ keefɛ mmu gɛ. Geenɛ gêe gɛh no wo koŋe, keefɛ wo gê no ŋkoŋe gɛ.” [“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43No wu buunɛ noo, nchɛndaa Nyo shii we wu to fɛ wu le, wu nya wu bvuŋga.Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

44Jiso nyu fitele fie suume wu baaŋ nɛ wɛɛmm wɛɛmm. Wu buunɛ lo chi shaŋ chiɛɛ, mbunyɛ chiɛɛnyi yi nshɛŋ le njɛ bitɛde bi kilɛmɛ.]And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45Wu buunɛ wu mɛsɛ, wu tu jiŋ fɛ booŋ be ba ŋgoo le, wu yɛŋ lefɛ ge wa bo fwɛɛŋ bo tu bo lefe.When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46Wu biih bo le lɛ, “Bɛŋ ka lefe lo? Bɛŋ jâ we bɛŋ bûune fɛ moŋ ge wu to fɛ bɛŋ le, wu ya bɛŋ gɛ.”“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

47Gɛh no wu gɛ̀ baaŋ wu jɛme, kinchvu ki bamii bunɛ bo tu bo too, nyume gɛh Juda wù gɛ̀ bee muh wu ŋgoo yi booŋ ba Jiso ba yuufe ncho bafɛɛ le, wu gɛ̀ too bo fwe. Wu to mbebe Jiso le wu ŋkfugɛ wu.While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48Geenɛ, Jiso biih Juda le lɛ, “Wo nɛ goone ki wo kfûgɛ Muh wù jee che le Mwamuh nɛ ki wo dûnyɛ lɛ ba koo wu?”But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49Booŋ be ba ŋgoo ba gɛ̀ bee mbebe ye le yɛŋ fiɛɛ fì gɛ̀ kooshi le, bo biih lɛ, “Tada, bee gwôojɛ bamii banɛ?”Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

50Muh mu bo le gɛ̀ goone ki wu gwô, wu mo wu chuŋ nyu kintuŋ kinchiɛɛŋ ki fwa wu kikwɛɛ ki bachiji kintanyɛ.And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51Jiso kaŋ lɛ, “Keefɛ muh ka wu môŋ gɛ!” Wu mo wu kuŋ kintuŋ ki muh wuyu le ki mo ki kâasɛ ki tu fo.But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52Bamii ba gɛ̀ too ki bo koo Jiso gɛ̀ bee bachiji kintanyɛ ba baaŋ baaŋ bɛ bikwɛɛ bi nchi bì gɛ̀ chiɛɛne yeh yi kintanyɛ mo bamii ba gɛ̀ sage woŋ. Wu biih bo le lɛ, “Bɛŋ to ki bɛŋ kôo mɛ, bɛŋ mo bɛŋ too bɛ nyó yi jɛŋ mo bimbuge njɛ bɛŋ too ki bɛŋ kôo nyume choŋ?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?

53Nchi nshee lɛ juu lɛ juu mo fɛ yeh yi kintanyɛ le, fɛ bɛŋ koo mɛ sɛŋ nje la? Geenɛ, mɛɛse le kife kena ki taŋlo bɛŋ ge fiɛɛ, nyume kife ki bvuŋga bvu ki kijibɛ.”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.”

54Bamii bayu mo bo koo Jiso bo gɛɛne bɛ wu fɛ la chi kikwɛɛ ki bachiji kintanyɛ le, Bita bii ajiŋ je yì ndefe le.Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

55Bo gɛɛŋ bo fwɛɛ ŋgu lakfulɛ fɛ ntɛnɛɛ, lɛ bo shii bo yɛse. Bita mo wu to wu shii bɛ bo.When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56No ŋgu kwɛɛ gɛ̀ bɛde noo, mwa wù kwɛse wumu wù gɛ̀ lɛne fɛ la chiyu le ja wu yɛŋ Bita le no wu shii. Wu bijɛ wu nɛ tuŋŋ wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Muh wunɛ be bee bɛ muh wege.”A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

57Bita mo wu kajɛ lo ye, wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Kwɛse wunɛ, gɛ ŋkee wu gɛ.”But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

58Kife doo ki kɛŋsɛ gɛ nɛ shige, muh mu ka wu yɛŋ wu le, wu mo wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Wo tɛ le muh ŋgoo yiboo le.” Geenɛ Bita jɛmɛ lɛ, “Jwɛŋsɛ, gɛ mɛ nyume muh mu a bo ntɛnɛɛ gɛ.”A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59Kife gɛɛŋ ki bu njɛ ntaŋ wu kife kimimia, muh mu ka wu taŋ lɛ, “Nchiɛɛŋ, muh wunɛ be bee bɛ wu, nje wu le tɛ muh wu Galalee.”About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

60Bita mo wu faŋ wu jɛmɛ lɛ, “Jwɛŋsɛ wunɛ, gɛ ŋkee fiɛɛ fì wo jɛme gɛ.” Gɛ no wu gɛh baaŋ wu jɛme, kimimia nyishii mo yi toŋ.“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61Tada kaasɛ ye ajii a we tasɛ bɛ a Bita. Bita kwajɛ njɛmɛ wù Tada be jɛmɛ wu le lɛ, “Nyishii lé yi tôŋ abɛŋ, wo nyu wo faŋ wa mɛ kiŋgane kintɛde.”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.”

62Wu ja fo wu bu akfuuŋ, wu bee kwe baaŋ.And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63Bamii ba gɛ jiji Jiso le bo mo bo kɛ bo buu wu, bo suŋe wu,The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64bo baŋe bvushi bwe bɛ nju, bo duu wu le lɛ, “Gɛ gee la muh wu ntuŋ wu Nyo kuŋ. Gɛh sɛɛŋ muh wu suŋ wo.”They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65Bo ka bo baade lo wu bɛ bachuŋ wesee.And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66Akfuuŋ gɛ̀ doo a yuude a too, bamii ba sage woŋ bɛ bachiji kintanyɛ ba baaŋ baaŋ mo bamii ba duunyi banchi ba Nyo banyɛ ye bachii. No bo banyi noo, bo mo bo jo Jiso bo gɛɛŋ bɛ wu fɛ bo gɛ̀ sage bansa fo.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,

67No bo gɛnɛ bɛ wu noo, bo biih wu le lɛ, “Nɛ le wo wu le Mbvusɛ wù Nyo gɛ̀ ka, wo sɛ̂ɛŋ bee le?” Wu chvuu lɛ, “Nsɛŋe lo bɛŋ le, bɛŋ gɛ bɛɛŋ gɛ.“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

68Mbiide fiɛɛ bɛŋ le, bɛŋ gɛ chvuu gɛ.And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69Geenɛ, kɛge yi mɛɛse le, muh wù jee che le Mwamuh lé wu gê wu shîi a kibo kinchiɛɛŋ ki Nyo wu bvuŋga le.”But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70Bo mo bo jaŋɛ bo bachii lɛ, “Fi nɛ le lɛ, le wo wu le Mwa Nyo?” Wu chvuu lɛ, “Fi le no bɛŋ jɛme.”So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

71Bo mo bo jɛmɛ lɛ, “Taŋlo bo ka bo goone lo muh mu ki wu sɛ̂ɛŋ lɛ la? Bee le be yu wa fiɛɛ fì wu jɛme bɛ jwe we.”“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
