Matthew 27 (RUP)

1Cãndu vini dimineatsa, tuts mãrilji a preftsãlor sh-aushlji a popului featsirã plan contra al Isus tsi s-lu vãtãma.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Sh-ashã cum lu ligarã, lu dusirã sh-lu pridarã la Pilat, guvernatorlu romac.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Atumtsea, Iuda tsi lu avea pridatã, cãndu lu vidzu cã lu giudicarã Isusul, s-pishmãnipsi, sh-lji turnã nãpoi tredzãtsi di asimi la mãrilji a pretsãlor sh-la aushlji,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.

4dzãcãnda: “Feciu amãrtii cã vindui un sãndzi fãrã cãbati.” Ma elji dzãsirã: “Tsi nã mealã a noauã? Lucru ti tini!”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Sh-ashã Iuda, l-arcã pãradzli di asimi la templu, shi s-dusi si aspindzura.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Ma mãrilji a preftsãlor adunarã aesti pãradzi di asimi sh-dzãsirã: “Nu prindi s-lji bãgãm tu ayishtearea a tempului, cã easti pãhãlu a sãndzilui.”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.”

7Dupã tsi featsirã plan, cu aesti pãradzi acumpãrarã agrulu a pociarlui di murminsãli a xenjilor.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Trã atsea agrulu aestu s-acljeami pãnã tu dzua di azã: “Agrulu a sãndzilui.”That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Atumtsea si mplini atsea tsi fu dzãsã pri prufitlu Ieremia: “Sh-loarã di treidzãtsi pãradzili di asimi, pãhãlu tsi lu avea tinjisitã hiljilji al Israel,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,

10sh-li deadirã trã agrul a pociarului ashã cum mi dimãndã Domnul.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Sh-Isusul stãtu nãintea a guvernatorului sh-elu lu ntribã: “Tini eshti amirãlu a Iudeilor?” Sh-Isusul lji dzãsi: “Tini ma dzãts.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Deapoea mãrilji a preftsãlor sh-aushlji lu acuzarã, ma elu nu apãndisi dip.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Atumtsea Pilatul lu-ntribã: “Nu avdzã cãti mãrtirii s-dzãc contra tini?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Ma elu nu apãndisi la nitsi un zbor, ashãtsi guvernatorlu s-ciudisi multu.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Tora cu sibepea a sãrbãtoariljei guvernatorlu lu avea ca adeti tsi s-lji sãlãghea a popului un hãpsãnit, atsel tsi vrea populu.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Avea atumtsea tu hapsi, un hãpsãnit cu anami, cu numa Baraba.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Cãndu s-adunarã oaminjili, Pilatul lã ntribã atselji: “Cai vrets s-vã sãlãghescu, Baraba, icã Isusul, tsi s-numeashti Hristos?”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?”

18Cã elu lu shtia ghini cã elji lu avea pridatã di inati.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Sh-iarã elu shidea pri scamnu la giudicatã, muljearea a lui lj-pitricu zbor: “Nu ti mintea dip cu lucrul atsilui ndreptulu, cã azã am traptã multã tu yis trã itia a lui.”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.”

20Ma mãrilji a preftsãlor sh-aushlji lji umplurã mintea a multsãmiljei tsi s-cãfta Baraba, sh-Isusul si s-vãtãma.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Sh-guvernatorlu lã ntribã: “Cai di doilji vrets s-vã sãlãghescu?” Elji dzãsira: “Baraba!”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Pilatlu lã dzãsi a lor: “Tsi s-fac, cu Isusul, tsi s-acljeami Hristos?” Tuts lji apãndisirã: “S-crutsiseascã!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Ma guvernatorlu ntribã: “Cãtse, tsi arãu ari faptã?” Ma elji aurla ma multu: “S-crutsiseascã!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Atumtsea Pilatul, vidzãnda cã nu ma agiundzea iuva, sh-aurlarea ma s-fãtsea ma vãrtoasã, lo apã sh-aspilã mãnjili nãintea a lor, dzãcãnda: “Mini escu ni-vinovat di sãndzili a aishtui ndreptu, easti lucrul a vostru.”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.”

25Sh-tut populu apãndisinda dzãsi: “S-hibã sãndzili a lui pristi noi sh-pristi cilimenjilji a noshtri!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Atumtsea elu lã sãlãghi a-lor Baraba. Dupã tsi Isusul lu bãturã, lu prideadi tsi s-lu crutsisea.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Atumtsea suldatslji a guvernatorlui, dupã tsi dusirã Isusul tu pretorium, adunarã ningã nãsu tutã cohorta.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Sh-cum lu disviscurã, lji arcarã pri plãtari unã mantilã roshi amirãrescu.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Sh-lji mplãtirã unã curunã di schinji, lji-u bãgarã pri cap, sh-lji deadirã un bastun tu mãna atsea ndreapta sh-dzinucljinda nãintea a lui, arãdea dzãcãnda: “Salut, amirãlu a Iudeilor!”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!”

30Deapoea lu ascuchiarã, lji loarã bastunlu sh-cu atsel lu agudea n-capã.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Dupã tsi lu pizuirã, lji-lu mutarã mantelul shlu nviscurã cu stranjili a lui, sh-lu dusirã ti crutsisiri.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.

32Sh-cara ishirã afoarã, aflarã un om dit Cirenea, tsi s-acljima Simon, sh-lu strimsirã s-purta crutsea al Isus.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Cãndu agiumsirã tu loclu tsi s-acljima Golgota, tsi va s-dzãcã “Loclu a Cafcãljei”,And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34lji deadirã s-bea yinã puscã misticat cu heari. Ma elu, dupã tsi u bãgã tu gurã, nu vrea s-u bea.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Dupã tsi lu crutsisirã, mpãrtsãrã cu soarti stranjili a lui, tra si mplineascã tsi eara dzãsã di la prufitlu: “Mpãrtsãrã namisa di nãshi stranjili a meali sh-arcarã soarti di tunica a mea.”When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Deapoea shidzurã sh-lu vigljea.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Pristi caplu a lui, bãgarã tutashã scriatã acuza ti giudicarea a lui: “Aestu easti Isusul, Amirãlu a Iudeilor.”Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Atumtsea s-crutsisirã deadun cu nãsu sh-doi ribelji, unlu tu nandreaptea sh-alantu tu nastãnga.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Sh-atselji tsi tritsea cãtrã aclo, lu ngiura giucãnda caplu,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40sh-dzãcãnda: “Tini tsi lu aspardzã templul sh-lu adarã trã trei dzãli, ascapã-ti! Macã eshti Hiljiu a Dumnidzãlui, dipunã-ti di crutsi!”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!”

41Tutashã, sh-mãrilji a preftsãlor, deadun cu scriblji sh-cu aushlji, s-pizuea sh-dzãtsea:In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42“Elu ascãpã altsã, ma tora nu poati si s-ascapã. Macã easti amirãlu a Israelui, s-dipunã tora di crutsi sh-noi va pistipsim la nãsu.“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.

43Elu ari pistipsitã tu Dumnidzã, sh-macã elu lu va s-lu ascapã tora, cã ari dzãsã: ‘Mini escu Hiljiu a Dumnidzãlui.’”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Tutashã, lu ngiura sh-ribeljilji tsi eara crutsisitã cu nãsu.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Di tu njeadzãdzuã pãnã la oara trei ti mirindi scutidu amvãli tut loclu.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Anvãrliga di oara trei dupã prãndzu, Isusul aurlã cu boatsi analtã, dzãcãnda: “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?”, tsi va s-dzãcã: “Dumnidzãlu a meu, Dumnidzãlu a meu, cãtse mi ai alãsatã?”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?”

47Sh-niscãntsã di atselji tsi shidea aclo, cãndu lu avdzrã, dzãsirã: “Aestu ma lji greashti al Ilia.”When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Sh-tu atsea oarã, un di atseji s-dusi dalaga, lo un sfungu, lu mulje tu yin acrã shi, dupã tsi lu bãgã tu mãeaua di un cãlami, lji deadi s-bea.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.

49Ma alantsã dzãtsea: “Alãsats-lu s-videm va s-yinã Ilia s-lu ascapã.”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Sh-Isusul aurlã ninga unã oarã cu boatsi analtã, sh-deadi suflitlu.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Sh-ia, velul a tempului s-arupsi pi doauã pãrtsã di nsus pãnã nghios, loclu cutremburã shi shcãnghili s-disicarã,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52murmintsãlji s-disfeatsirã, sh-multi trupuri a sãmtsãlor tsi avea murit, s-nyearã.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Elji ishirã dit murmintsã dupã nyearea a Isusului, intrarã tu sãmtul cãsãbã shi s-aspusirã la multsã.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Tora centurionlu sh-atselji tsi deadun cu nãsu vigljea Isusul, cãndu vidzurã cutremburarea sh-atseali tsi s-featsirã, s-aspãrarã multu, sh-dzãsirã: “Dealihea aestu eara Hiljiu a Dumnidzãlui!”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.”

55Aclo era sh-multi muljeri tsi mutrea di diparti. Eali avea urmatã Isusul di Galilea tsi s-lji huzmitipsea.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Namisa di nãsi eara Maria Magdalena, Maria, muma al Iacov sh-al Iosif, sh-muma a hiljilor al Zevedeu.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Sh-cum ntunicã, vini un om avut di Arimatea, cu numa Iosif, cai eara sh-nãsu uceniclu al Isus.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Elu s-dusi la Pilatul sh-lji cãftã truplu al Isus. Atumtsea Pilatul deadi ordin tsi s-lj dãdea truplu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Sh-Iosiful, dupã tsi lu lo truplu lu anvãrti cu unã pãndzã curatãSo Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60sh-lu bãgã tu murmintul atsel noulu, tsi elu avea disfaptã tu un cheatrã. Deapoea arucuti unã cheatrã mari tu intrata a murmintului, sh-fudzi.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.

61Sh-Maria Magdalena sh-alantã Marii shidea aclo, nãintea a murmintului.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Sh-tu alantã dzuã, tsi eara dupã dzua a adãrarãljei, mãrilji a preftsãlor sh-Fariseilji s-adunarã la Pilatul,The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63dzãcãnda: “Doamne, nã adusim a minti cã atsel arãditor, cãndu eara yiu, dzãsi: ‘Dupã trei dzãli mini va mi nyedz.’“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Trã atsea dã ordin tsi murmintul si s-veaglji ghini pãnã tu dzua a treia, s-nu yinã ucenitsilji a lui noaptea shi s-lu furã truplu sh-deapoea s-lji dzãcã a popului: ‘Si-sculã dit mortsã,’ sh-ashã arãdearea di ma napoea, va s-eara ma arãu di atsea di ma nãinti.”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.”

65Pilatul lji dzãsi a lor: “Vigljitorlu lu avets, dutsets-vã shi siguripsits-lu, cum s-vã si veadi ma ghini.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Sh-elji s-dusirã sh-lu siguripsirã murmintul, bãgarã vigljitorlu sh-vulusirã cheatra.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
