3Iwe soamwooniir patere me mwaaen kkewe aar ra mwiirh fengaen noan imwaen Soamwoonin Patere we itan Caiaphas,At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

5Nge ra aepesa pwe, “Sisoapw feeori minneei oaton gupwunon Passover, pwe aeremas rete aefitigogo tae.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6Jesus a noa Bethany noan imwaen Simon, erhai mwaaen kaenepaai mwo igiwe.While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

8Rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra giuneei miniwe, nge ra soong. Ra aepesa pwe, “Meeta mwo oasonopaen neoningas eei?When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

9Pwe neoningas een emmwen erhai epwe chuwaiuw ngaeni senaapiy temoag nge ra ngaenneer man affayeo!”This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

10Jesus e giuneei meeta kkewe ra aepesa, iwe a aengaeniir pwe, “Meeta oaw amwagiutiu nieen reen? Egin mwamwaai minne a feeori ngaeniaei.Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

11Pwe rhooa affayeo repwe fasiun yor reemi oanongaen oat, nge ngaang isoapw no rhag reemi oanongaen oat.The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

12Minne efeeori iga e aeniatae neoningas wooan oanongaei, nge a faer oamoannayaei tae ngaeniaei nipwaenipw.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

14Iwe erhai me neeiir rhooan kkayeo kkewe seig me riiurhai, iwe itan Judas Iscariot, a noa reen soamwoonin patere kkeweThen one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

16Saengi rhag oatowe nge Judas a giutta eew oaton ne egacch aan epwe fang ngaeniir Jesus.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

17Noan aeyewaen raaenin Gupwunon Fenoawa we esooar Yeast reen, rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra itto reen Jesus nge ra aeiineow pwe, “Iya iga wo mwerhaen pwe aeipwe oamoannatae mwongoon Passover me ee?”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?”

18Jesus a aengaeniir pwe, “Oawnoa noan aepinoamw na reen erhai mwaaen nge oawwa aengaeni, ‘Sinsei e iura pwe, A arapeto oatoi nge rhooan kkayeo kena naeyi me ngaang pwe feeori mwongoon Passover me noan imwoamw.’ ”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.’”

19Iwe rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra feeori wunuunun meeta we Jesus a aengaeniir, nge ra oamoannatae mwongoon Passover we.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20Igiwe a nee oatofaaef noa, Jesus me rhooan kkayeo kkewe seig me riiurhai ra mooat tiw reen table we.When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21Iga ra mwongo, nge Jesus a aengaeniir pwe, “Ennetaen, ipwe aengaenigaemi, pwe erhai me neeimi epwene fangenoa tinnimaei.”And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22Rhooan kkayeo kkewe a igin aenneew noa nee tipeer reen kkepas we nge ra rhaepetae ne kkepas aeiyeg ngaeni, erhai me erhai ra aepesa pwe, “Soamwoon, saapw ngaang?”They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Erhai ne e tapweaei reen rhirinong anan fenoawa noan saepiy een, ina iiy epwe fangenoa tinnimaei.Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24Minna Naiun Aeremas epwe maenoa taeppen rhag meeta we Pwapwior we e Santus e aepesa, nge epwe ifa mwo aenneewaen mwaaen na iiy e afangmaei noa mwaaen we Naiun Aeremas! Egacch rhag igine rese nainitiw mwaaen een!”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.”

25Judas iwe e afangmaei noa Jesus a kepastae, “Sinsei, saapw ngaang?” Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Een minimwu wo aepesa minna.”Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

26Igiwe ra mwongo, Jesus a pwigi eew fenoawa, a fang aan maeipinen aerhigerhig, iwe a giniiy nge a ngaenneer rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun nge a aepesa pwe, “Oaw pwigi pwe oawpwe angi, pwe ieen minne oanongaei.”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.”

27Mwirin a pwigi eew kkap, a fang aan maeipinen aerhigerhig, iwe, a ngaenneer nge a aepesa pwe, “Oaw iuniumi minneen oanongaemi,Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

30Mwirin ra aeni erheo keoniun aerhigerhig, nge ra toowow ngaeni miniwe rhugun Olives.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Iwe Jesus a aengaeniir pwe, “Nee pwongiy nge oanongaemi oawpwe nigitiaei noa, pwe iwe Pwapwior we e Santus e aepesa pwe, ‘Deus epwe niiy noa rhooan neginegin sheep we, nge sheep kkewe repwene toaropas fetaen.’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.’

32Nge mwirin aaei menaw sefaaen, ipwe gommwonoa Galilee me mmwaemi.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Iwe, Peter a paniuwaeni pwe, “Ngaang isoapw nigitiug noa, inamwo me oanongeer nge re nigitiug noa!”Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34Jesus a aengaeni Peter pwe, “Ennetaen, ipwe aengaeniug pwe mmwaen aaen maniug we epwe keokkeok nee pwongiy, nge epwe faaen enuuw oamw iura pwe wose giuneaei.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35Peter a paniuwaeni pwe, “Esooar faaen eew ipwe aepesa minna, inamwo aere ipwe tapweog reen maenoa.” A pwan ina rhag meeta re iura rhooan kkayeo kkewe aekkaerhai.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

36Iwe Jesus me rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun ra noa noan eew neniy itan Gethsemane, iwe a aengaeniir pwe, “Oawmooat tiw igeei, pwe ngaang ipwe noa maeipin iginaan.”Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37A paeninoa Peter me mwaaen riiurhai kkewe naiun Zebedee. Waeiraes me nee tip cchoaw a tooto reen,He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38iwe a aengaeniir pwe, “Waeiraesin noan minne nee tipaei egin temoag, arapakkaan rhag epwe niaei noa. Oawno igeei oawpwe tapweaei reen metenaeg.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Jesus a mwet noa egius mmwan, a won rhappetiw nee ppweon nge maeipin, “Semaei, aere emmwen, wopwe pwigi saengiaei kkepaen waeiraes een; nge saapw minne ngaang i tipaeni, pwe minne een wo tipaeni.”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.”

40Iwe a sefaaeneto reer rhooan kkayeo kkewe eoniurhai we naiun, nge a giuneer pwe ra maiur. Iwe a aengaeni Peter pwe, “Ifa wusun, aaemi mwo nge ese mmwen oawpwe mmas ngaeniaei noan eew rhag awa?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.

41Oaw mmas nge oaw maeipin pwe oawte ppiungiunong noan sessoat. Ngeon a mwerhaen, nge oanong a apwangapwang.”“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42Jesus a pwan sefaaen noa maeipin, “Semaei, aere wosoapw pwigi saengiaei kkepaen waeiraes een pwe ipwe iuniumi, nge minna tipoamw minne epwe mmwen.”A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43Jesus epwan sefaaen nge a giuneer pwe ra pwan maiur, pwe ra igin cchoaw.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44Iwe, Jesus a pwan mwet saengiir, a sefaaen noa maeipin reen aeinuwaen, nge epwan aeni rhag maeipin we e aeni me mmwan.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45Iwe a sefaaeneto reer rhooan kkayeo kkewe nge a aengaeniir pwe, “Oaw rhiuwen maiur me aseoseo rhag? Pipiiy, a toori oaton repwene fangenoa Naiun Aeremas nee paiiur rhooa monofit.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.

46Oaw rhimwitae, oaw sia noa. Pipiiy, ieei iiy mwaaen we e fangenoa menewaei!”Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

48Rhooan afangmaei noa we a fang aeginn ngaeniir pwuwa we: “Mwaaen na ipwe faeisongei ina mwaaen na oaw tipaeni. Oaw torofi!”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49Judas a faaeraeg wenewen ngaeni Jesus nge a aengaeni pwe, “Sirow woamw, Sinsei,” iwe a faeisongei.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Pwiiy, feeori meeta wo itto reen.” Iwe ra mwet ngaeni, ra torofi Jesus nge ra ammwarhiu.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

51Nge erhai me neeiir rhooawe rhoaniuwaen Jesus a waeitiwow naiun saeitan, nge a fena rhooan akkiuneo we naiun Soamwoonin Patere iwe gopiy noa eew saeningan.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Iwe, Jesus a aengaeni pwe, “Wopwe aesefaaeninong saeitan mwu noawumw noan nenien. Pwe rhooakkena re pweipwog saeitan repwe maenoa wooan saeitan.“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

55Iwe Jesus a aengaeniir aeremas towunap kkewe pwe, “Meeta oawnoa itto faaen naimi saeitan me soapwon irae pwe oawpwe torofiaei, pwe iga aetae ngaang erhai man mwoarho?

Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.

And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

62Soamwoonin Patere a iutae nge a aengaeni Jesus pwe, “Esooar minne wopwe paniuwaeni ngaeni kkepas kka mwaaen kaan ra tipi ngaeniug?”So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63Nge Jesus a anniug noa rhag. Iwe Soamwoonin Patere a pwan aepesa ngaeni Jesus pwe, “Wopwe ppwon faaen itaen Deus na e menaw nge wa aengaenigemaem aere een Kristus, Naiun Deus.”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.”

64Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Een minne wo iura.

65Iwe Soamwoonin Patere we a fereeitiw mengaagiun nge a iura pwe, “A aepesa aenneewa Deus! Meeta si rhiuwen pwigiir to rhooan oatuttur reen? Pipiiy, oawwa sipegin rongorong aan aepesa aenneewa Deus.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.

66Meeta aaemi niunniuwaen?” Ra paniuwaeni pwe, “Iiy e monofit nge epwe mae.”What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

70Peter a paniuwaeni memmweer oanongeer, nge a iura pwe, “Ngaang ise giuneei meeta mwu wo aepesa,”But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

72Iwe, Peter a pwan iura pwe ese giuneei nge a aepesa pwe, “Iya aekkepan pwe ise giuneei mwaaen naan!”And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”
