Mark 14 (UTR) · Opened

1I sisi mɛ egbe efa ngwi oga owɛ owatɔ-watɔ mgbi emi Israi bɛyi ibredi ngwi a kye okwuna wo efu ba ka wa gyɔ nɛta, engyukwo ama ofifɛ bɛyi etsetse mgbi ola mgbi iMose tole pita ofɛ mi oshu ngwi ama ka bwa iYesu di ngwɔn mani.Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

2A gbɔgbɛɛ, <<Kpaa no ka li mi egbe oga ba, bana inggisɛ ka ndeye.>>“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

3Mi onɔ ngwi iYesu dzɛ iBetani mani, o sisɛ ogye ungwogye mi udɛ inggisɛ ongwu a li kwun di iSaimɔn inggisɛ otsoma, ongyaa ba yi engyie ofyunfyummya mi ikpɔkpɔ alabasta, engyie mgbi ekwɔ iNadi yuon. O kye ikpɔkpɔ alabasta na ondun kye kwulu, kye engyie ma yawo iYesu ikye.While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.

4Ama nto mi onɔ na ma, tole gbɔ mi itingga-itingga yi ewoma gbɛɛ, <<Nɛnɛ li engyie ombeembe dɛn lo?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5A ki kye gya mɛ udza nngha udza idɔ onova onyi di kye udza ma gha emi adzɛ.>> A si kyɔkyɔ yi ongyaa na mi itingga-itingga.It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6Nghaduu iYesu gbɛɛ, <<Ema dzanta na. Kyɔnɛ ngwi ema le kakan ewo ngha? O kyungwɔ nli osuse yi ani.But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7Bana emi adzɛ to yi ema alonɔ duu, ema ka ya ma abɔ alonɔ ngwi ema mina duu. Kpaa ani yɔ, ema ka tu ani alonɔ ba.The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8O kyungwɔ ngwi o yagba okyɔ. O kyi ani engyie mi ewo duuse ni onɔ ondzi ani wa gyɔ.She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9N nya ema otsitsi, mi ali imbe ngwi a le gbɔ Esɔ Osuse kpatsɛ ɛsɛ duu, ungwɔ ngwi o kyɔ nɛ a ka gbɔn, ikye ole wan.>>And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

10Ta iJuda iSkarɔti, ongwu nli onyi mbi emi iwyodefa ntona, kɛ mbi engyukwo ama ofifɛ oka kye iYesu gya yi ama.Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11I kpa ma ofwo odzɛ nɛni a di zondu onun awuya. Nghanɛ o pita ofɛ okyon wo ma abɔ.They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

12Mi egbe ongwi ababɔ mgbi oga ibredi ngwi a kye okwuna wo efu ba, ngwi li ungwɔ etɔ mgbi ama ofifɛ yi mmala oga owɛ owatɔ-watɔ mgbi emi Israi nɛ, engwafɔ mgbi iYesu byun gbɛɛ, <<Li mi ole ngwi abu mina ni eyi kɛ ka mɛlu abu imbe ogye oga owɛ owatɔ-watɔ mgbi emi Israi nɛ?>>On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13Nɛta o dɔ engwafɔɔn efa esɔ, nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Kaka ifu igeli na, ongyulɔ kye ishe eni dikye ka wa kpatsɛ ema. Kyɛdɔn na.So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

14Imbe ngwi o kaka ma, nya otsungwudɛ ma gbɛɛ, <Otsetse byita gbɛɛ: Ozu ingyoga mgbi ani, ngwi ani ka gye oga owɛ owatɔ-watɔ mgbi emi Israi yi emi ongwafɔ mgbi ani ma kɔ?>and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

15Ta o ka tso ema ozu okwukwo mi ozeesho, ngwi a gbe okye to ele le fɛɛfɛ. Kye mɛlu mi ikye eweyi na.>>And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16Emi ongwafɔ ntona si lu ifu igeli ka di ungwɔ ntona yɛyɛ dafi iYesu nya ma mani. Nɛ a kye kyɔlu ungwogye oga owɛ owatɔ-watɔ mgbi emi Israi.So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

17Onɔ wa gbɛsɛ nɛta, iYesu wa kaka bɛyi emi iwyodefa ntonani.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18Ngwi a sisɛ kwongongo le gye ungwogye mi adinyatsɛ nɛta, o gbɔgbɛɛ, <<Ani le nya ema otsitsi, onyi mbi ema ka kye ani gya, o sɔ le gye ungwogye yi ani mmɛnɛ kpaa.>>And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19A si yɛɛ elela dile byun onyonyi gbɛɛ, <<Li ani ba lɔ?>>They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20Nghaduu iYesu nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Li onyi mbi emi iwyodefa, ama nkye abɔ wo uga yi ani nɛni.He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21Ongwɛ Inggisɛ ka lu yɛyɛ dafi Afɛ lɔ mi ikyen mani. Kpaa ahoo mi ikye inggisɛ ongwu nkye Ongwɛ Inggisɛ gya mani! Ka tatase gbɛɛ a ki mban ba.>>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.”

22Ngwi a le gye ungwogye nɛ, iYesu kyelu ibredi, ta Imgbasho angba man kye mwalu, kye nu emi ongwafɔɔn gbɛɛ, <<Gbɛ na; nɛnɛ li ikpewo mgbi ani.>>While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

23O di kyi kyelu ibwɛ, ta Imgbasho angba di kye nu ma, ama duu wa mi efu.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24O nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Nɛnɛ li eyi mgbi ondu odzɛɛdzɛ mgbi ani, ongwi a kye yawo mi ikye ibyi inggisɛ.He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Ani le nya ema otsitsi, n ka weni awawa ekwɔ nɛ wuba nghataa mi egbe ngwi n ka wan ofufɛ mi esutɔ mgbi Imgbasho mani.>>Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

26Ngwi a shashi nɛta, a tasɛ lu Unggwɔ Olivi.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27Ta iYesu si nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Ema duu ka tangwɛ ani, bana Afɛ lɔ gbɛɛ: << <N ka gbo inggisɛ ongyo ifyungwɔ ta, mmala ka ganya.>Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

28Nghaduu ni ani wa kyato mi ikwu yɔ, n ka teyi ema kaka iGalalia.>>But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Kpaa iPyita gbɔ mi ododa gbɛɛ, <<Kini inggisɛ duu tangwɛ kpaa, ani ka tangwɛ ba.>>Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30Man iYesu nyan gbɛɛ, <<N nya abu otsitsi, mi otu inɛ nɛni, duuse ni ogbigbi teela akpe efa yɔ, abu ka tangwɛ ani akpe eta.>>“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31Nghaduu iPyita biibɛ mi ela mfye gbɛɛ, <<Kini li ikwu kpaa ani ka kwulu yi abu, n ka tangwɛ abu ba.>> Angbeka ntona duu kpaa gbɔ ngha.But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.

32A kɛ imbe ngwi ali kwun di iGesemani, ta iYesu gbɔ yi emi ongwafɔɔn gbɛɛ, <<Sisɛ mmɛnɛ na nin ka bibɔ.>>Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33O kyi kyelu iPyita yi iJɛnsi bɛyi iJɔn lu yan, man o wita ogyadzɛ mi itukwu kpakpa i di kakan ewo.He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34Nɛ o nya ma gbɛɛ, <<Elela okyɔɔkyɔ gbɛlu oshishe mgbi ani duu sɔ nghataa kaka mi odzɛɛdzɛ mgbi ikwongye kpaa, nɛ dzɛ mmɛnɛ le ngyo na.>>Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35O si kiyayi gwee ta, kwokɛ esɛ bibɔ gbɛɛ no li kyɛmɛ-kyɛmɛ yɔ, ni obyi nɛ nyɛ ongwu.Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36O si gbɔgbɛɛ, <<Baba, Otsani, alungwɔ dzɛ kyɛmɛ-kyɛmɛ mbi abu. Kyi kyelu ibwɛ adzɛ nɛ mbi ani. Kpaa no ka li mi owitukwu mgbi ani ba, no li mi owitukwu mgbi abu.>>“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37Ta o yidɔ wa tu engwafɔɔn tole nuna. O si nya iPyita gbɛɛ, <<iSaimɔn, abu le nunaa? Obyi onyi kpaa abu ka yagba ngyo lo?Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Ngyo di bibɔ ikyegbɛɛ ni ema ka gbɛsɛ mi imbadi ba. Onodzi yɔ le dzɛ yi oweka, kpaa ewo dzatsi.>>Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39O diyɛ lu ka bɔ itɔ ibɔ ngwi o teyi bɔ mani.Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40Mi onɔ ngwi o yɛ mani, o diyɛ tu ma tole nuna, ikyekyɛ akwukwinɛ lo loma. A ye odzɛ ngwi a ka gbɔ nyan ba.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41Ngwi o yɛ akpe ongwu ta nɛ, o gbɔ yi ama gbɛɛ, <<Ema kale nuna dile tonya maa? I gyɔ ngha! Onɔ ma gyɔ wa! Dika, a kye Ongwɛ Inggisɛ wo emi ibwubwe abɔ wa.When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42Kyato i kɛ na! Inggisɛ nkye ani gya ma ba wa!>>Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

43Ngwi o kale gbɔdzɛ nɛta, iJuda, onyi mbi iwyodefa ntona, ba wa to. Ibyi inggisɛ to yan, a sha okwusunkli yi itsitsi okwuta, ngwi li engyukwo ama ofifɛ bɛyi etsetse mgbi ola mgbi iMose yi emyinɛ dɔ ma esɔ.While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

44Mi itɔnɔ nɛ ongye okyon gya na wewo tso ma ambɛ duu gbɛɛ: <<Ongwu ani kye ondu kwon ataka ma li ongwu aali; bwan ngyon kyon lu na.>>Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Vla nɛta iJuda kɛ mbi iYesu, o gbɔgbɛɛ, <<Otsetse!>> Man kye ondu kwon ataka.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Engyulɔ ntona si kpakli iYesu di bwan.Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47Ta onyi mi idzidzɛ mgbi ama nkwulɛsɛ to kwɛkwɛ na kye ngwalu okwusunkli mgban kye kwodzɛ adɔ onyi mgbi ongbidɔ mgbi okwukwo inggisɛ ofifɛ.And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Nɛ iYesu gbɛɛ, <<Ani li inggisɛ ogbe ama oblofɛ teyi se ngwi ema ba mbi ani yi okwusunkli yi itsitsi okwuta owa bwa anii?Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Alegbe ani li dzɛ yi ema, le tso mi ozu okwukwo osunu Imgbasho mi iJerosalin, kpaa ema bwa ani ba. Nghaduu li kyɛmɛ ngwi Afɛ ka mbwumbwo.>>Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

50Ta ali inggisɛ duu tangwan tsinya dzanta.Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51Ongwɛ mmafa oka, kye angwuto ondlɛndlɛ nghaama, le kyɛdɔ iYesu. Mi onɔ ngwi a bwan mani,One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52o tsinya dzata angwuto mgban mi iyikpa, lu ibiba.but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53Nɛ a kye iYesu kɛ mbi okwukwo inggisɛ ofifɛ, bɛyi engyukwo ama ofifɛ duu, yi engyukwo emi iJuda yi etsetse mgbi ola kwakye mbonyi.They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54IPyita si kyan iyikpa mbombo, nghataa ka kaka imbe ogbiikwɔ mgbi okwukwo inggisɛ ofifɛ. Mmana o sisɛ yi ama ongyoongyo dile wola.Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.

55Engyukwo ama ofifɛ bɛyi okwakye mgbi ama odi mi ola duu tole pita obwɛndɛ mi ikpewo iYesu ikyegbɛɛ nu ma ngwɔn, kpaa a tu onyi ba.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

56Bana inggisɛ kwuba gbɔ obwɛndɛ atsika mi ikpewon, kpaa elodzɛ mgbi ama kwokyi yi eka ba.For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

57Nɛ inggisɛ angbeka di kyato nu obwɛndɛ atsika mi ikpewon gbɛɛ:Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:

58<<Eyi fwon le gbɔgbɛɛ, <N ka kye ozu okwukwo osunu Imgbasho mi iJerosalin ngwi inggisɛ mbɛ mi abɔ nɛ kye gbobu diyɛ mbɛ oka mi egbe eta, ongwi li abɔ mgbi inggisɛ mbɛ ba mani.> >>“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

59Nghaduukpaa obwɛndɛ mgbi ama na kwokyi ba.But even their testimony was inconsistent.

60Ta okwukwo inggisɛ ofifɛ kyato mi inɛ mgbi ama si byi iYesu gbɛɛ, <<Abu ka nu uka lo? Li ali obwɛndɛ ngwi inggisɛ ntonɛ le kye ba ikpewo abu ngha?>>So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

61Kpaa iYesu kwulu ondu nu ma uka ba. Okwukwo inggisɛ ofifɛ na di byun gbɛɛ, <<Abu li iKrestu, Ongwɛ Imgbasho Ongha yi mse naa?>>But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62IYesu si gbɛɛ, <<Li ani ma aani. Ema dika wa di Ongwɛ Inggisɛ ka sɔ abugye mgbi Ongwu Nghaangha dika kyɛ akpa mi esho.>>“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63Okwukwo inggisɛ ofifɛ na si kye nghalu angwuto mgban. O byita gbɛɛ, <<Kyɔnɛ ngwi eyi di mina obwɛndɛ angbeka?>>At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

64<<Ema fwo ito ntonɛ ma, ema tsɛwɛ sinɛ?>> Ama duu nu iYesu obube gbɛɛ o gyɔ ondu ikwongye.You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

65Ta angbeka wita okyanggwɔ kyin ewo; a kye ungwɔ bwan inɛ, kwon asa, di nyan gbɛɛ, <<Di yegbɔ ka!>> Ta inggisɛ ama ongyoongyo na byin di gbon ibe.Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.

66Mi onɔ ngwi iPyita ka dzɛ esɛ mi ifyudɛ nɛta, ongwongyaa onyi mi idzidzɛ engbidɔ mgbi okwukwo inggisɛ ofifɛ nani, ba wa kaka.While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67Ngwi o di iPyita le wola nɛta, o din inɛ si gblekɛ kwɛkwɛ yan. O nyan gbɛɛ, <<Abu kpaa li kyɛ yi iYesu ongwi iNadzareti.>>and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68Nghaduu iPyita tangwɛ gbɛɛ, <<Ani yon hona difwi odzɛ ngwi abu le gbɔ nɛ kpaa ba,>> man o tasɛ mi onufɛ okakaakaka.But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

69Ngwi ongwongyiidɔ na din mmana nɛ, o di nya ama nkwudzɛ to ma gbɛɛ, <<Inggisɛ nɛ kpaa li onyi mboma.>>There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70IPyita di tangwɛ. I wa dzɛ gwee nɛta, ama nkwudzɛ to kwɛkwɛ na nya iPyita gbɛɛ, <<Li otsitsi abu li onyi mi idzidzɛ ma, bana abu li emi iGalalia.>>But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

71Ta iPyita wita owo ewon ikamba di fa yi ama gbɛɛ, <<Ani ye inggisɛ ngwu ema le gbɔdzɛ kwu iyin nɛ ba.>>But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72Mina nɛta ogbigbi teela akpe efa. Ta iPyita wɛ elodzɛ ongwi iYesu gbɔ yan gbɛɛ: <<Ogbigbi ka teela akpe efa waba ta, abu ka tangwɛ ani akpe eta mani.>> Man o si nyɛ yi ikwu otseetse.And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
