Matthew 27 (RHGC)

1Zeñtté biínna óiye, ḍoóñr imam ókkol edde manúc or murubbi beggúne mili sólla goijjé de, Isá re zane marifélai bolla.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Baade ítara Íba re bañdí loizai hákim Filat ore gosáidiye.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Zeñtté Yohúdah, zee niki Isá re dóridiye, íte deikké de Íba lla moot or hókum óiye, hétunot íte bicí afsús hái tiríc cwa rufar foicá gún ḍoóñr imam ókkol ore edde murubbi ókkol ore fíraidiWhen 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.

4hoór de, “Añí behosúr manúc cwa re marifélai bolla dóridi guná goijjí.” Montor ítara hoór de, “Tóoile añárar kii óiye? Híyan tui buzós.”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Hétunot íte rufar foicá gún baitul-mukaddos or bútore melámari giiyégoi, aar zai nizoré nize fáñci háifelaiye.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Ḍoóñr imam ókkole rufar foicá gún looi hoór de, “Iín baitul-mukaddos or baccút rakón zayes no, kiyólla-hoilé iín lou wór dam.”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.”

7Baade ítara biyasana gorí, bidecóitta ókkol olla hoborostán banai bolla hé rufar foicá gún lói Kuáñijjar Zobin nán kinné.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Hétolla hé zaga gán ore aij foijjonto Lou wor Zaga hoói ḍake.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Híyane, nobi Yarmíyahr duara howá gíyl de yián fura óiye, “Ítara hé tiríc cwa rufar foicá gún loiyé, híin óilde Ubár dam, zibár dor Boni Isráil ókkole ṭík goijjíl;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,

10aar ítara híin ore Kuáñijjar Zobin nán kinat estemal goijjé, zendilla Mabude añré hókum díye.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Isá hákim Filat or muúntu tíyai accíl, hákime Íba ttu fusár gorér de, “Tuñí Yohúdi ókkol or Baáñcca níki?” Isá ye yóggwa re hoór de, “Ói, tuñí hoór de héndilla.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Montor ḍoóñr imam múne edde murubbi gúne Íba re elzam lagat accíl de októt, Íba ye honó zuwab nó déh.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Hétunot Filate Íba re hoór de, “Tuñí no fúnor níki itará Tuáñr ulḍa hodún gobá dér?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Montor Íba ye yóggwa re ekkán elzam or úddwa zuwab nó de, hétolla hákim ebbe taajup óigiyoi.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Hákim or niyom óilde, fottí Azadir-id or októt maincé ze hodi re hálas gorídito hoó hé hodi re hálas gorídon.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Hé októt ítara ttu ézzon nam hóraf mocúr hodi accíl, zar nam Bárabba.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Hétolla, zeñtté manúc ókkol zoma óiye, Filate ítara ttu fusár gorér de, “Tuáñra ttu añré haré tuáñrar hañse hálas gorídiya baitó monehoór, Bárabba re né, náki Isá re, zibá re Mosih hoó?”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?”

18Kiyólla-hoilé Filate zainto de, Yohúdir neta ókkole Isá re yóggwar hañse hásorot góri gosáidiye deh.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Filat bisar or toktór uore boói accíl de októt, yóggwar bou wé yóggwar hañse hóbor foóñsaiye de, “Hé behosúr Manúc cwa re kessú no goríyo, kiyólla-hoilé gel de raitta añí cóppon ot Íbar zoriya bicí duk faiyí.”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.”

20Lekin ḍoóñr imam ókkole edde murubbi ókkole manúc or dol ore uskaidiyé de, Bárabba re magi bolla aar Isá re marifélaito hoi bolla.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Hákime abar ítara re hoór de, “E duní zon ottu tuáñra ttu añré haré hálas gorídiya baitó monehoór?” Ítara hoór de, “Bárabba re.”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Filate ítara re hoór de, “Tóoile Isá, zibá re Mosih hoó, Íba re añí kii goittám?” Ítara beggúne hoór de, “Íba re kúruc ot dífelo!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Montor yóggwa ye hoór de, “Kiyá, Íba ye kii bura goijjé dé?” Toóu ítara aró guzori-guzori endilla howát accíl, “Íba re kúruc ot dífelo!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Baade Filate dekér de, yóggwa ye kessú gorí no farer, bólke úrussul cúru óizargoi, hétunot yóggwa ye faní looi manúc ókkol or muúntu nizor át dúifelai hoór de, “E Manúc cwar lou wór zimma añí no; híyan or zuwab tuáñra beh diba.”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.”

25Hétunot manúc beggúne zuwabe hoór de, “Íbar lou wór zimma añára edde añárar fuain óiyum!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Tói yóggwa ye ítarar hañse Bárabba re hálas gorídiye; montor Isá re coóñk marabai baade, kúruc ot dí bolla gosái dífelaiye.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Baade hákim or fóous ókkole Isá re yóggwar mohól or bútore loigiyé, aar ṭeérang ṭíya re Íbar sairókul ttu zoma goijjé.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Ítara Íbar gair or hoor kúlifelai Íba re eggwá lal rong or zubba fiñdáidiye.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Ítara keñṛar eggwá tas banai baade Íbar matát diyaidiyé, aar den át ot eggwá laṛí dóradiye. Ítara Íbar muúntu añṛúr tók dí Íba re ṭátṭai gorí hoór de, “Héy Yohúdi ókkol or Baáñcca, Toré sólam!”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!”

30Baade ítara Íba re sép maijjé edde laṛí wa looi Íbar matá sái bari maijjé.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Ítara Íba re ṭátṭai gorí baade, Íba ttu lal rong or zubba wa kúlifelai Íbar hoor Íba re fiñdáidiye; baade kúruc ot dí bolla loigiyégoi.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.

32Ítara cóor ottu baáre neeler de októt, Kureni cóor or ezzon manúc loot faiyé zibár nam Sáimon; ítara yóggwa re Isár kúruc can boói loizai bolla mojbur goijjé.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Baade ítara zeñtté Golgota nam or ekkán zagat, yáni Matár Malar Zagat foóñicce,And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34ítara Íba re tita jiníc miyáiya anggur or roc háito diiyé; montor Íba ye híin hái saái ná háa.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Ítara Íba re kúruc ot dífelai baade, loṭári mari ítarar bútore Íbar hoorsuor ore bák goijjé.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Aar héṛe boói táki ítara Íba re sooñi gorát doijje.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Íbar matár uottú ítara Íbar e hosúri gán sáainbúṭ maridiye, ziyán óilde, “Ibá óilde Isá, Yohúdi ókkol or baáñcca.”Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Hé októt Íbar fúañti dui zon ḍahañit ore yó kúruc ot díyl, ezzon ore Íbar den ḍák ottu edde ar ezzon ore Íbar ban ḍák ottu.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Aar zetará hé foñt báy zaar, ítara matá lari-lari Íba re téceraiAnd those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40hoór de, “Tui toh baitul-mukaddos báñgi tin din or bútore abar banaidoya, yala Tui Nizoré Nize basa sái! Zodi Tui Allar Fua de óile, kúruc ottu lami ai.”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!”

41Héndilla góri ḍoóñr imam, alem edde murubbi ókkole yó ṭátṭai gorí hoór de,In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42“Ibá ye toh oinno zon ore basaitó; montor Nizoré Nize de basai no farer! Ibá Isráil or Baáñcca no né, yala Ibá kúruc ottu lami aiyóuk, baade añára Ibár uore iman aníyum.“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.

43Ibá ye Allar uore bóraca raké; zodi Alla ttu monehoó, tóoile ehón Alla ye Ibá re basouk, kiyólla-hoilé Ibá ye hoitó de, ‘Añí óilam de Allar Fua.’ ”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Ze ḍahañit tun ore Íbar fúañti kúruc ot díyl, ítara yó héndilla-héndilla hotá hoói Íba re beizzoti goijjé.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Hé din duúñijjar baró wa báze lóti tin nwá báze fán guñṛa mulluk andár ói accíl.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Tin nwá ánik baijjé de októt, Isá ye eggwá ḍoóñr abase guzori hoór de, “Elí, Elí, lamá sabakhṭáni?” yáni, “Ó Añr Alla, ó Añr Alla, Tuñí Añré kiyólla sáridiyo?”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?”

47Héṛe tíyai accíl de ítara hodúne híyan fúni hoór de, “E Manúc cwa ye nobi Eliyas ore ḍaker.”When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Ítara ttu ezzone ekkú duñre zai ekkán esfónj looi sírkat buraiyé, aar ekkán súañr matát bazáidi Isá re hái bolla diiyé.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.

49Montor argúne hoór de, “Tíyo, Ibá re Eliyase basaitó aiyé né saái.”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Isá ye abar eggwá ḍoóñr abase guzori Íbar foran difélaiye.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Hétunot baitul-mukaddos or foroda gán uottú lóti nise foijjonto fáṛi dui bák óigiyoi; aar zobin ot búsal baiyé, ḍoóñr-ḍoóñr cíl ókkol fáṛigiyoi,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52hobor ókkol kúligiyoi, edde Allar pak bonda ókkol zetará moot or gúm ot accíl ítara boóut zon ore zinda gorá gíyeh.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Isá mora ttu zinda ói baade, ítara hobor ottu neeli aáigiyoi aar pak cóor ot zai boóut maincóre dahádiye.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

55Boóut beṛiyáin zetará Galil ottu lóti Isár fisá dori Íba re hédmot gorí-gorí aiccíl, ítara dur ottu góri híin saái táikkil.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Ítarar bútore Moriyam Makdálini accíl, Yakub edde Yusúf or maa Moriyam accíl, edde Zebedair fuain dor maa accíl.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Háñzinna óiye rár, héṛe Aramátiya cóor ottu Yusúf nam or ezzon tuangor manúc aiccé, zibá nize yó Isár éggwa ummot óigilgoi.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Yóggwa ye Filat or hañse zai Isár lac cwa maiggé. Hétunot Filate hókum díye de, lac cwa yóggwa re diiféla zay bolla.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

61Héñtte Moriyam Makdálini edde arek Moriyam héṛe hobor or muúntu boiṛá accíl.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Tarfor din, zibá ebaadot-or-din accíl, ḍoóñr imam ókkol edde Féroci ókkol Filat or hañse zoma óiye,The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63baade ítara hoór de, “Jonáb, añára ttu monot asé, hé dúkabaz Íba zinda tákite hoóil de, ‘Tin din baade Añí abar zinda óiyum.’“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

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.”

65Filate ítara re hoór de, “Faáradar ókkol loizo, zai zeddúr horagori faro héddur gorí hobor gwá re faára dógoi.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Baade ítara zai cíl lan ot moór lagai edde faáradar ókkol héṛe rakí, hobor gwá re horagori faáradiye.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
