Matthew 26 (TBX)

1Ka Yesu neil qayeeng ti beimambei yon ma woy, moxo neil wou e xe xel betiyeing bei,When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

2“Xam ghe woulek woy bei, bouk yayuw xemou nanghei di yeip zeyi Pasova, ingwei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux tyek xel bong ena wou xel en xel a tuw e lek xax pepeeng o.”“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Woyom xel lumuki leitata me xel teivateiv wei xel xomaxoneing qekuma eivek xomek wei lumuki lukanzek, wei lei Kaiapas o,At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4me xel di luk me yimexe sakwaing wei xel embei tyoxe me na zeimaxoun Yesu me nyeis e mey o.and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

5Xel neil ambei nye, “Ekom se lek bouk wei mata ngandoung o, enok xel xomaxoneing on baluk ngenong de nyeis ama.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6Ka Yesu la Betani me la toundei eivek xomek wei tambiy ti lei Simon, wei takwei eno qou vanei lepa,While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7de vex ti lam wou e is botol qakous wei wel xeimangou wei malew ngandoung o, de vex on taw wel lek e lu gyeik moxo di yeip pepenyeing lek zek o.a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

8Ekom xel betiyeing yei tine, eno xel laleind wou nilul, me neil, “Nambei nya vex ne wo nol wou wel ne?When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

9Wel tine teyei bei xey a bo vateivek lek me na qou malew ngandoung me na bong wou xel kanyoyeiw o.”This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

10Yesu woulek inye woy, om neil wou xel, “Nambei nya xam ghe wong nimaying wou vex ne? Vexo wong lul nimza tine wou ay.Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

11Xel kanyoyeiw eno tyek na mi mendei is xam taxombouk, dom ay tyek a se mendei is xam taxombouk.The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

12Vex ne taw wel lek aneing, om vexo wong inye bei menyex wou a neing en eveing eivek leiveeng meyeing.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

13A neil wou xam zonghek, eivek tembuing sapa wei xel embei na neil Xoulek Nimza nei eno tyek xel a mi neil vati wei vex ne wong ne, me tyek xel a mi bou naleind en e.”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.”

14Woyom xel xoumeeng yuw on ti lei Yudas Iskariot la wou xel lumuki leitataThen one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15me teling, “Xam ambei tyek ghe bong vati wou ay wangwei am bong e nak wou xam nei?” Om xel pyaw memend wou malew teyei lek silva xoumeeng yal (30) wou e.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.

16Woyom nanghei inyon me ela eno Yudas di yimexe sakwaing wei embei bong Yesu na eivek xel memend o.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

17Lek bouk atax wei Bouk Wei Yaeing Belet Wei Yis Ma Veil o, xel betiyeing lam wou Yesu me teling, “Wambei xa na menyex wou yaeing anghei inya en kandek wang gwa Pasova?”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?”

18Moxo neil elox, “La eivek beyeeng ngandoung on me ghe na wou tambiy tinei me na neil wou e, ‘Putoung neil embei: A xe bouk wei xel beyal eno paviy. Ay is a xe xel betiyeing bei nak angha Pasova eivek wa bam.’ ”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.’”

19Om xel betiyeing wong ambei kawei Yesu neil wou xel o me menyex wou Pasova.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20Gyeik ingwei di souk, eno Yesu la dei lek lelek is xel betiyeing xoumeeng yuw.When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21Ka xel di ya, moxo neil, “A neil wou xam zonghek bei, xam on ti tyek na neil a teyei me na toung ay eivek xel vevek amba memend.”And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22Xel laleind wo nimaying me xel titi di neil wou e bei, “Tambiy Ngandoung, Beip se ay?”They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Yesu neil elox bei, “Tiwei embei toung mema eivek dipek is ay eno tyek na neil a teyei me na toung a na eivek xel vevek amba memend.Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24Xomaxoneing Neu Moux tyek na nambei kawei xel byex eivek xoulek en e yo. Ekom nimaying ena wou moux tiwei embei neil Xomaxoneing Neu Moux teyei, dom na toung e na eivek xel ba memend! Inye nimza, bei tambiy tiyon ta se bou e.”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.”

25Woyom Yudas tambiy tiwei embei neil e teyei me na toung e na eivek xel ba memend o neil, “Putoung, neing ayang beip se ay?” Yesu lewexe, “Nambei wang neil on.”Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

26Ka xel di ya, Yesu qou belet, de wong dange wou me dembu, de wong wou e xe xel betiyeing, de neil, “Xam qou me wa. Tine inye a neing.”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.”

27Woyom moxo qou mayamya, me wong dange wou dom wong wou xel de neil, “Xam dalus a num eivek.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28Tine inye a gyand wei qokatu yo, en a qapyex lek xel ngenong bei e mi semaleeng sewokeing sapa.This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29A neil wou xam, tyek a se nox me na num wain tine no me e mi na deka bouk tiyon tyek a num wain vako is xam eivek Mang xe tete lalei.”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.”

30Woyom xel wong lalo ti, de xel la myayaing me la lukendu Oliv.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Woyom Yesu neil wou xel, “Boukeing kane tyek xam xe wongeingis detei, en xel byex eivek xoulek eno nambei nye, “‘Tyek a nyeis tambiy wei mi yeiteyei sipsip o, dom xel sipsip na pek me davuna.’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.’

32Ekom tyek a qandi lek me na tax en xam me nana eivek Galili.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Petele neil elox bei, “Wangwei xel betiyeing dalus a saing xel xe wongeingis en wang, ond tyek a se teyei bei saing wang.”Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34Yesu neil elox wou e bei, “A neil wou wang zonghek, boukeing kane, wei qouklex seng ghe sesa vya, tyek wang dax a vun luyal.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35Ekom Petele neil embei, “Wangwei a mey is wang, ond a se teyei bei dax wang vund.” Me xel betiyeing dalus neil qayeeng kayon teyeima.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

36Woyom Yesu la is e xe xel betiyeing me xel la beyeeng ti lei Getsemani, me moxo neil wou xel, “Xam a toumendei inye nayaka le, dom a na inyei me na zeimemang bole.”Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Moxo qou Petele me Sebedi neu moux luw xouing is e. Moxo lalei wo nimaying me axe nilul ayang.He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38Moxo neil wou lal, “A nung axe nimaying ngandoung om am bim a mey. Xam a toumendei inye me ghe gweiteyei is ay.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Moxo dula nayaka, de yeip ma eivek tembuing me zeimema, “Mang, wangwei nambei nyon nei, ond teyei bei wa zeim mayamya tine veil ay. Ekom wa se betiwou a xe woueing nalei, qe wa betiwou wamaxow xe woueing nalei.”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.”

40Woyom moxo loumelam wou betiyeing yal on me yei lal di yeip o. Moxo teling Petele, “Se teyei bei mal mendi gweiteyei is ay teyei lek seivma ti?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.

41Xam a mi gweiteyei me na zeimemamim en kandek xam se detei eivek axeing. Laweeng lalei vind bei bong xuk, ekom neing mi wong nimbayaing.”“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42Moxo lox me la luyuw no me zeimema, “Mang, wangwei mayamya tine se teyei bei ghanaw ay me a num, ond wa betiwou wamaxow laleim.”A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43Ka moxo loumelam, moxo yei lal di yeip no, en nambei lal mend yeip.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44Om moxo ghanaw xel me lox tiwei yal o no me zeimema, me neil ambei kawei yo no.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45Woyom moxo loum wou e xe betiyeing me neil wou lal, “Xam anghei dei weip me ghe qou laweeng? Wei, seivma lam paviy, me gweimbeeng xel neil Xomaxoneing Neu Moux teyei me toung e la eivek xel wei sewokeing o memend.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.

46Qandi lek, en xey a na! En inye tambiy wei embei neil a teyei me na toung a na eivek xel memend eno lam!”Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

47Ka moxo nanghei di luk, Yudas, tambiy tiyon eivek xel xoumeeng yuw eno lam tyip. Xel qendu ngandoung lam is e eno xel qou ngeyeing vevek me pebumeeng. Xel lumuki leitata me xel teivateiv wei xomaxoneing eno wong xel lam.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.

48Tambiy wei embei neil Yesu teyei me na toung e na eivek xel ba memend eno wong dee ti bei xel boulek: “Tiwei tyek a toung myang lek e ling ond moux tiyo inyon, om xam a zeimaxoun e.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49Lutika eno Yudas lam wou Yesu me neil, “Boukeing Putoung!” dom toung mya lek e ling.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50Yesu neil elox bei, “Gweleeng, wang bong vati wei wang lam en o.” Woyom xel moux on dulam paviy me zeimaxoun e.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

51Ekom Yesu xe xelti mema la en e xe ngeyeing vevek, de tetei elam dom qateiv xukxe wei lumuki lukanzek on nenyalis tip veil.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Yesu neil wou e, “Toung wa xe ngeyeing vevek on lox eivek beeng, en xel eti yeiw wei puw ngeyeing vevek tyek na mey angya ngeyeing vevek.“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53Xam ghe wou naleimim bei tyek a se teyei bei taxe Mang, me lutika eno moxo tyek bong xel angela ngenong ghanaw xel qendu xoumeeng yuw wei vevek o me nam devind ay?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?

54Ekom wangwei a bong ambei nyon on qayeeng wei di yeip eivek Anutu xe qapiya vambuing ne tyek se bo neing lek. En Anutu xe qapiya neil embei, lul dalus tine eno e nam belup wou ay.”But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

55Lek seivma kayon eno Yesu neil wou xel qendu yon, “Beip a ne tambiy panaxeing me leiseing xel o, om xam ghe lam is ngeyeing aluw pebumeeng bei bo nol wou ay me na zeimaxoun ay? Bouk tambak ne a mindei eivek tete lalei wei xomek vambuing me na mi teyoxe xel, ekom xam seng zeimaxoun ay.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.

56Ekom tine dalus lam tyip nambei ingwei xel poropet byex eivek qapiya yo embo neing lek.” Woyom xel betiyeing dalus pek veil e me la.But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

57Woyom xel moux wei zeimaxoun Yesu eno qou moxo me la wou lumuki lukanzek Kaiapas. Inyon xel putoung wei petieing me xel teivateiv wei di qekuma yo.Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

58Ekom Petele di betiwou e me la kwanding ka veil e. Moxo la eivek tete lalei wei lumuki lukanzek beeng o. Ka la dei inyon is xel belimbo, bei gyei vati wei embei belup wou Yesu yo.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.

59Xel lumuki leitata me xel kanzol dalus di yimexe qayeeng tyonyeing wei xel embei neil lek Yesu en kandek xel na nyeis e mey en o.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

60Ekom xel se yeiwou qayeeng ti, de xel ngenong lam neil qayeeng ekom ma. Dekalekom moux yayuw lamBut they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

61me neil embei, “Tambiy tine neil ambei nye, ‘A teyei bei lelolexe Anutu xe xomek vambuing de na nox me na dev eivek bouk yal.’ ”and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

62Woyom lumuki lukanzek nale ghey me neil wou Yesu, “Se teyei bei wa neil qayeeng ti noum? Inye qayeeng vati ingwei xel di neil lek wang ne?”So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63Ekom Yesu nanghei toungale kanzek. Om lumuki lukanzek neil wou e, “A teling wou wang eivek Anutu mapieing lei, Neil wou xa wangwei wa Kilisi, Anutu Neu Moux nei.”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.”

64Yesu neil elox bei, “Ee, nambei kawei wang neil on. Ekom a neil wou xam dalus, kalekom tyek xam ghe gwei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux mendei wou mema payeiv wei Anutu tiwei Nikanzekta me di lam lek laxap wei tyoung gheyapu yo.”“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.”

65Woyom lumuki lukanzek lex e xe teimb de neil, “Moxo lukyak lek Anutu yo! Nambei nya xey a ngo qayeeng valu is no? Wei, xam venaxow ghe ngo qayeeng lukeingyak wei e neil o.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.

66Xam ghe wou naleimim ambei nya?” Xel neil elox bei, “Moxo teyei bei mey o.”What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

67Woyom xel pesuv myend louk lek e manghalus me lund memend de venoux e, de xel valu petapexe eThen they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

68me neil, “Kilisi, wa neil qayeeng poropet wou xa. Eti leis wang?”and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

69Petele moxo toundei myayaing eivek tete lalei wei xomek o. Xukxe vexawo ti lam wou e me neil, “Wang is en wang mindei is Yesu wei Galili yo.”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.

70Ekom moxo axvun eivek xel dalus mend. E neil elox bei, “A loung en vati wei xam ghe di luk en o.”But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

71Woyom moxo la myayaing wei tete mya nei. Inyon vexawo nge yei e me neil wou xel xomaxoneing nanghei inyon, “Tambiy tine mi la is Yesu wei Nasaret o.”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.”

72Petele lox me la axvun no me neil zonghek is inyapunei bei, “A loung en moux tiyon!”And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

73Kalekom xel wei toungale inyon eno la wou Petele me neil, “Neing ayang wang on xel xe ti, en xa woulek wa vyam wei wang di luk on.”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.”

74Woyom moxo neil vya lek xow me luk ninkanzek, “A neil neing wou xam bei, a loung en tambiy tiyon!” Se denlek en qouklex sesa vya.At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

75Woyom Petele wou kwa en qayeeng wei Yesu neil o, “Qouklex se ghei sesa vya, eno tyek wang dax a vun luyal.” De moxo la myayaing me la eng ngandoungateiv mouyo.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.
