Matthew 26 (RUP)

1Cãndu Isusul bitisi tuti aesti zboari, lã dzãsi a ucenitsilor a lui:When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

2“Voi shtits cã dupã doauã dzãli easti Pashtili, sh-deapoea Hiljiu a omlui va s-prida ti crutsisiri.”“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Atumtsea mãrilji a preftsãlor, sh-aushilji a popului s-adunarã tu uborlu a arhipreftului tsi s-acljima Caiafa.At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4Sh-apofãsirã s-lu acãtsa Isusul cu tirtipi shi s-lu vatãmã,and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

5ma dzãtsea: “Nu tu sãrbãtoari, tsi s-nu s-facã vãrã mintiturã tu popul.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6Cãndu Isusul eara tu Betania, tu casa al lebroslu Simon,While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7s-apriuche unã muljeari cu un vas di alabastru cu untulem di njir multu scumpã, shi lji-lu virsã pri caplu a lui, cãndu elu ma shidea andupirat la measã.a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

8Cãndu ucenitsilji a lui vidzurã aestã, s-nãrãirã shi ntribarã: “Cãtse tut aestu hãrgiuiri geaba?When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

9Aestu untulem, putea si s-vindea multã scumpu sh-pãradzili si s-dea a niavutsãlor.”This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

10Ma Isusul lu achicãsi aestã sh-lã dzãsi a lor: “Cãtse u tulburatsã aestã muljeari? Ea featsi un lucru bun trã mini.Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

11Cã oarfãnjlji va li avetsi totãna cu voi, ma mini nu va mi avets totãna.The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

12Cã, virsãnda aestu untulem njirusit pri truplu a meu, ea lu ndreapsi truplu a meu trã ngrupari.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

13Dealihea mini ma vã dzãc cã iutsido tsi va s-hibã predicat aestu evanghelu tu tutã lumea, va si aspunã cã tsi featsi aestã muljeari, trã amintirea a ljei.”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.”

14Atumtsea un di atselji doisprãdzatsi, cu numa Iuda Iscariotul, s-dusi la mãrilji a preftsãlor,Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15sh-lã dzãsi a lor: “Cãti va nji dats tsi mini s-vã lu prida?” Sh-elji lj-misurarã treidzãtsi pãradzã, sicli di asimi.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.

16Sh-di atumtsea elu cãfta oara s-lu prida.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

17Tu prota dzuã a Adzãmilor, ucenitsilji s-apruchearã a Isusului sh-lu ntribarã: “Iu vrei s-ndridzem trã mãcari Pashtili?”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?”

18Sh-elu apãndisi: “Dutsets-vã tu cãsãbã la fileanlu sh-dzãtsets-lji: ‘Nvitsãtorlu dzãtsi: Chirolu a meu easti aproapi. Va s-facã Pashtili la casa a ta deadun cu ucenitsilji a melji.’”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.’”

19Atumtsea ucenitsilji featsirã ashã cum lã avea dimãndatã Isusul shi itimãsirã Pashtili.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20Sh-cãndu ntunicã, elu shidzu la measã deadun cu doisprãdzatslji.When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21Cãndu ma mãca, dzãsi: “Dealihea mini ma vã dzãc, cã un di voi va mi prida.”And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22Elji si nvirinarã multu sh-cathiun di nãshi ahurhi s-dzãcã: “Nacã escu mini, Doamne?”They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Sh-elu apãndisi: “Atsel tsi ari muljeatã deadun cu mini mãshcãtura tu cãtsãn, elu va mi prida.Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24Ashã cum easti scriatã trã nãsu, Hiljiu a omlui s-dutsi. Ma cavai di atsel om tsi prida Hiljiu a omlui! Trã nãsu va eara ma ghini s-nu eara amintat pute.”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.”

25Sh-Iuda, atsel tsi va lu pridea, lu ntribã sh-lji dzãsi: “Rabbi, nacã escu mini atsel?” Elu lji dzãsi: “Tini ma dzãtsi!”Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

26Sh-iarã elji ma mãca, Isusul lo pãnea, u-ghinicuvãntã, u frãmsi, sh-u deadi a ucenitsilor a lui sh-dzãsi: “Loats shi mãcats, aestã easti truplu a meu.”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.”

27Deapoea lo cupa, sh-hãrãstãsi, sh-u-deadi a lor dzãcãnda: “Bets di aestã tuts.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28Aestu easti sãndzili a meu a pistiligãturãljei, tsi easti virsatã trã multsã trã ljirtarea a amãrtiilor.This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29Sh-mini ma vã dzãc, cã di tora sh-nclo mini nu va s-beau ma di aestu carpo a ayitãljei, pãnã tu atsea dzuã cãndu deadun cu voi, va s-beau di nou tu Amirãriljea a Tatãlui a meu.”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.”

30Sh-dupã tsi cãntarã himnul, ishirã nafoarã la muntili a Masnjlilor.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Atumtsea Isusul lã dzãsi a lor: “Aestã noapti tuts voi va s-mi apãrãsits, cã easti scriatã: ‘Va s-agudescu picurarlu sh-oili a cupiiljei va s-arãspãndeascã.’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.’

32Ma dupã tsi s-hiu nyiatã, va mi duc nãinti di voi tu Galilea.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Atumtsea Petrul apãndisi: “Sh-canda tuts s-vã apãrãtseascã, mini nu va s-vã apãrãtsescu pute!”Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34Isusul lj-dzãsi a lui: “Dealihea ma tsã dzãcã cã tu noaptea aestã, ma nãinti tsi s-cãntã cucotlu, tini va mi aleapidz di trei ori.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35Petrul lji dzãsi: “Sh-ca s-prindi s-mor cu tini, nu va ti aleapid pute.” Ashã dzãsirã sh-tuts ucenitsilji.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

36Atumtsea Isusul s-dusi deadun cu nãshi tu un loc, tsi s-acljima Ghetsemani, sh-lã dzãsi a ucenitsilor: “Shidets aoa, iarã mini ma mi duc aclo s-mi pãrãcãlsescu.”Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Sh-lo cu nãsu Petrul sh-doi hiljilji al Zevedeu, sh-apãrnji si nvirineadzã shi s-aibã mari sicleti.He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38Atumtsea elu lã dzãsi a lor: “Suflitlu a meu easti multu nvirinat, pãnã tu moarti. Armãnets aoa shi stats dishtiptat deadun cu mini.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Sh-cum s-dusi niheam ma nãinti, cãdzu cu fatsa pri loc shi s-pãrãcãlsi dzãcãnda: “Tatãl a meu, macã easti putut, dipãrteadz-u di la mini aestã cupã, cu tutã atsea, nu cum voi mini, ma cum vrei tini.”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.”

40Deapoea s-turnã la ucenitsilji shi lji aflã durnjinda, sh-lji dzãsi al Petru: “Ma cum, nu putut s-vigljeats cu mini macari unã oarã?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.

41Stats dishtiptat sh-pãrãcãlsits-vã, s-nu cãdets tu cãrtiri, cã duhlu easti etimu, ma truplu easti niputut.”“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42S-dusi a doaua oarã shi s-pãrãcãlsi dzãcãnda: “Tatãl a meu, macã nu easti putut tsi aestã cupã s-fugã di la mini fãrã si s-bea di mini, si s-facã vrearea a ta!”A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43Deapoea s-turnã sh-lji aflã nãpoi tsi durnjea, cã ocljilji a lor eara somnusiti.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44Sh-dupã tsi lã alãsã, s-dusi nãpoi shi s-pãrãcãlsi di-a treia oarã, dzãcãnda idyili zboari.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45Deapoea s-turnã la ucenitsilji a lui sh-lã dzãsi a lor: “Tora ninga durnjits sh-vã discurmats? Ia vini oara, sh-Hiljilu a omlui va s-prida tu mãnjilji a amãrtioshilor.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.

46Sculats-vã, s-nidzem. Ia, atsel tsi ma mi prida easti aproapi.”Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

47Sh-iarã Isusul ma grea, ia Iuda, un di doisprãdzatslji, vini sh-deadun cu nãsu unã multsãmi mar cu spãtsi sh-cu ciumãdzi, pitricuts di mãrilji a preftsãlor sh-di aushilji a popului.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.

48Tora atsel tsi lu pridea lã avea datã a lor un semnu, dzãcãnda: “Atsel tsi mini va l-bashu, elu easti, acãtsats-lu.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49Shi trãoarã s-apruche la Isusul sh-lji dzãsi: “Salut, Nvitsãtore!”, sh-lu bãshe.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50Isusul lji dzãsi: “Oaspe, tsi ai tu minti s-fats?” Atumtsea elji s-apruchearã, bãgarã mãnjili pri Isusul sh-lu acãtsarã.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

51Shi ia, un di atselji tsi eara cu Isusul, timsi mãna, scoasi spata a lui, agudi huzmichearlu a arhipreftului sh-lji tãlje ureacljea.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Atumtsea Isusul lji dzãsi: “Toarnã spata tu loclu a ljei, cã tuts atselji tsi ljea spata, di spata va moarã.“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53Minduits voi, cã mini nu pot s-mi pãrãcãlsescu a Tatãlui a meu, dinãoarã s-nji pitreacã ma multã di doisprãdzats di legiunji di anghilji?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?

54Ma atumtsea cum va s-mplineascã Scriturili, cã dupã eali ashã prindi s-facã?”But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

55Tu atsea oarã Isusul lã dzãsi a multsãnjilor: “Voi ishit s-mi acãtsats mini cu spãtsi sh-cu ciumãdzi, ca un fur. Ia, cathi dzuã shideam cu voi nvitsãnda tu templu, sh-voi nu mi acãtsat.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.

56Ma tuti aesti s-featsirã tsi si mplineascã Scriturili a prufitsilor.” Atumtsea tuts ucenitsilji lu alãsarã sh-fudzirã.But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

57Sh-atselji tsi lu avea acãtsatã Isusul, lu dusirã la Caiafa, arhipreftulu iu eara adunatã scriblji sh-aushlji.Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

58Sh-Petrul lu urmã di diparti pãnã tu uborlu a arhipreftului, shi-dupã tsi intrã atsia, s-apunã deadun cu vigljitorlji s-veadã tsi va s-undzeascã.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.

59Tora mãrilji a preftsãlor, sh-tut sinedriul cãfta vãrã mãrtirii arãdioasã contra al Isus, ti vãtãmari,Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

60ma nu aflarã tsiva, cu tutã cã vinirã multsã martiri arãdioshi. Ma napoi vinirã doi altsã martiri arãdioshi,But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

61tsi dzãsirã: “Aestu ari dzãsã: ‘Mini pot s-aspargu templul a Dumnidzãlui shi s-lu adar ti trei dzãli.’”and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

62Atumtsea arhipreftul si s-culã sh-lji dzãsi: “Nu ma apãndiseshti dip ti atseali tsi ma mãrtirsescu aeshti contra tini?”So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63Iarã Isusul tãtsea. Sh-arhipreftul grãi: “Mini ma ti spigiuru pri Dumnidzãlu atsel yiulu s-nã dzãtsi macã tini eshti Hristolu, Hiljiu a Dumnidzãlui.”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.”

64Isusul lji dzãsi: “Tini ma dzãtsi! Sh-mini ma vã dzãc cã di tora sh-ma nclo voi va lu videts Hiljiu a omlui tsi sheadi di nandreapta a Puteariljei, sh-yininda pri niorilji a tserlui.”“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.”

65Atumtsea arhipreftul arupsi stranjili a lui, dzãcãnda: “Elu blãstimã! Trã tsi nã lipsescu tora martirilji? Ia, tora lu avdzãtã blãstemlu a lui.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.

66Cum vã si pari a voaua?” Sh-elji apãndisirã: “Elu easti cãbatar trã moarti!”What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

67Atumtsea lu scuchearã pri fatsã, lu agudirã cu shupleacã, shi niscãntsã altsã lji-l-deadirã cu bushlu,Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

68dzãcãnda: “Hristose, prufitipsea! Cai ti agudi?”and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

69Iarã Petrul shidea nafoarã, tu ubor unã huzmichearã s-apruche dzãcãnda: “Sh-tini earai cu Isus Galileanlu.”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.

70Ma elu lu alipidã nãinte a tutulor dzãcãnda: “Nu shtiu tsi dzãtsi!”But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

71Sh-cãndu elu ma ishea la poartã, vidzu unã altã huzmichearã sh-lã dzãsi atsilor tsi eara aclo: “Sh-aestu eara cu Isus Nazareanlu!”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.”

72Ma Petrul lu alipidã nãpoi spigiurãnda: “Mini nu lu cunoscu atsel om.”And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

73Dupã putsãn s-apruchearã sh-atselji tsi shidea aclo, sh-lji dzãsirã a Petrului: “Dealihea, sh-tini eshti un di atselji, cã grailu a tãu ti spuni!”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.”

74Atumtsea elu ahurhi s-blastimã shi si spigiurã, dzãcãnda: “Mini nu lu cunoscu atsel om!” Sh-tu oara atsea cãntã cucotlu.At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

75Atumtsea Petrul adusi aminti atsea tsi lji avea dzãsã Isusul: “Ma nãinti tsi s-cãntã cucotlu, va s-mi aleapidz di trei ori.” Shi elu ishi afoarã sh-plãmsi cu amãreatsã.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.
