Mark 14 (XNJ) · Opened

1Gavili gakona magono gavili kuhika Mselebuko wa Pasaka na Mselebuko wa kulya mabumunda gangali ngemeku. Vakulu va kuteta na Vawula va Malagizu valondayi njila ya kumkamula Yesu cha mfiyu na kumkoma.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.

2Nambu vakajova, “Tikotoka kukita chenicho lukumbi lwa mselebuko, ndava vandu yati vikita chitututu.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

3Yesu avili ku Betania kunyumba ya Simoni mweavi na mabudi. Peavili pameza kulya chakulya, mau mmonga mweavili na kachupa kadebe kaganga ka alabasta kamahuta geginungalilayi neju, mahuta geginungalila bwina gegatenganizwi kwa nado, akabwela. Akayidindula chupa yila, na kumyitila Yesu mahuta gala kumutu.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.

4Vandu vangi vevavi penapo vayomiswi na chitendu chila vakajijovela, “Ndava kyani kuyagisa waka mahuta geginungalila bwina?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5Mahuta ago ngagagulisiwi kwa mashonga gamahele, ngavapewili vangangu!” Vakamywangila mau yula.It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mumleka! Ndava ya kyani mukumung'aha? Anikitili nene lijambu labwina.But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7Vangangu muvinawu magono goha, muhotola kuvatangatila lukumbi lwolwoha lwa mwigana. Nambu nene yati nivya lepi na nyenye lukumbi lwoha.The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8Mwene akitili chaehotwili. Alongolili kuniyitila mahuta geginungalila muhiga yangu anitendelekili kwakona kuzikiwa kwangu palongolo.She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9Chakaka nikuvajovela, pamulima woha Lilovi la Bwina yati likokoswa, chitendu ichi cheakitili yati chiluwuliwa kwa kumkumbuka mdala uyu.”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.”

10Kangi Yuda Isikalioti, mmonga wa vawuliwa kumi na vavili vala, akahamba kwa vakulu va kuteta ndava ya kumgotola Yesu.Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11Vakulu va kuteta pevayuwini malovi genago, vahekalili, vayidakilini kumpela mashonga. Ndi, Yuda akatumbula kulonda lukumbi lwa kumgotola Yesu.They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

12Ligono la kutumbula kwa Mselebuko wa Mabumunda yangali ngemeku, lukumbi lwa kuhinja mwanalimbelele wa Pasaka, vawuliwa vaki vakamkota, “Ugana tikakutendelekelayi koki chakulya cha Pasaka?”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?”

13Hinu, Yesu avatumili vawuliwa vaki vavili akavajovela, “Muhambayi kumuji, kwenuko yati mkumkolela mgosi mmonga agegili chihulu cha manji. MumlandaSo 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,

14mbaka munyumba yeiyingila, mkamjovelayi mkolo nyumba, ‘Muwula ikota, chivi koki chumba cha vayehe penilya Pasaka pamonga na vawuliwa vangu?’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?’

15Mwene yati akuvalangisa chumba chivaha kunani ya kugolofa chechitendelekiwi. Mtendekelayi mwenumo.”And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16Hinu, vawuliwa vakawuka, vakahamba kumuji, vakakolela kila chindu chivi bwina ngati Yesu cheavajovili. Ndi vakatendelekela chakulya cha Pasaka.So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

17Payavili kimihi, Yesu ahikili penapo pamonga na vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18Pevalyayi pamonga, Yesu akajova, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, mmonga winu mweilya pamonga na nene, yati akunigotola.”And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19Penapo vawuliwa vaki vakatumbula kuviniswa mitima, vakatumbula kumkota mmonga mmonga, “Wu, ndi nene?”They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20Yesu akavajovela, “Ndi mmonga winu pagati yinu nyenye kumi na vavili, mweijwiga libumunda pamonga na nene munkeve.He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21Chakaka Mwana wa Mundu yati ifwa ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova. Nambu alachikolela mundu yula mweakumgotola Mwana wa Mundu! Mbanga kwa mundu mwenuyo ngati ngavelekiwi lepi!”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.”

22Pevalyayi, Yesu akatola libumunda, akamsengusa Chapanga, akalimetula na kuvapela vawuliwa vaki akajova, “Mtola, yeniyi, ndi higa yangu.”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.”

23Kangi akatola chikombi cha divayi, akamsengusa Chapanga, akavapela voha vanywelili divayi muchikombi chila.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24Akavajovela, “Yeniyi ndi ngasi yangu yeyilangisa lilaganu la Chapanga kwa vandu vaki, ngasi yeyiyitika ndava ya kulekekesa mabudilu ga vandu vamahele.He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Chakaka nikuvajovela, ninywa lepi kavili divayi mbaka ligono lila peninywa kavili mu Unkosi wa Chapanga.”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.”

26Kangi vakayimba lunyimbu lwa kumsengusa Chapanga, vakawuka, vakahamba ku Chitumbi cha Mizeituni.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mwavoha nyenye yati mwitila na kunileka nene, mu Mayandiku Gamsopi Chapanga ijova, ‘Yati nikumkoma mdimaji, na mambelele yati gipechengana.’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.’

28Nambu nikayukayi, yati nikuvalongolela ku Galilaya.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Petili akamjovela, “Hati ngati voha yati vakukuleka, nene katu nikukuleka lepi!”Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30Yesu akamjovela, “Chakaka nikujovela, kilu iyi, kwakona lijogolo langakokoleka mala zivili, yati ukunibela mala zidatu kuvya unimanyili lepi.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31Nambu Petili akakangamala kujova, “Hati ngati yikunigana nifwa pamonga na veve, katu yati nikukuleka lepi!” Vawuliwa voha vakajova mewawa.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.

32Hinu, vakahika kulidimba lelikemelewa Gesemane. Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mtama apa lukumbi penikumuyupa Chapanga.”Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33Kangi akavatola Petili na Yakobo na Yohani. Akatumbula kuviniswa mtima na kung'ahika neju.He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34Akavajovela, “Niviniswa mtima neju hati papipi kufwa. Mtama na muvya mihu.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35Akahamba palongolo padebe akajitaga cha kukupama pahi, akamuyupa Chapanga, kuvya ngati yihotoleka, lukumbi ulo lwa mang'ahiso lumupitila kutali.Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36Akajova, “Dadi wangu, kwa veve mambu goha gihotoleka. Uniwusilayi chikombi ichi cha mang'ahiso. Nambu lepi ngati chenigana nene, nambu cheugana wamwene.”“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37Kangi akawuya kwa vawuliwa vadatu vala akavakolela vagonili. Hinu, akamkota Petili, “Simoni, wu, ugonili? Uhotwi lepi kuvya mihu hati lukumbi ludebe?”Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Kangi akavajovela, “Muvyai mihu na kumuyupa Chapanga mkotoka kuyingila mukulingiwa. Mpungu ugana, nambu higa yitotokela.”Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39Akahamba kumuyupa Chapanga kavili akawuyila malovi galagala.Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40Peavawuyili vawuliwa vaki avakolili vagonili kavili. Ndava mihu gavi na lugono. Vamanyi lepi chakumyangula.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41Peabwelili mala ya datu akavajovela, “Mwakona mwigona na kupumulila? Hinu yikoli! Lukumbi luhikili! Mwana wa Mundu igotolewa kwa vandu vevambudila Chapanga.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.

42Muyimuka, tihambi. Mlolayi yula mweakunigotola ahegalili.”Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

43Yesu peavi akona ijova, Yuda mmonga wa kumi na vavili vala, akabwela pamonga na msambi wa vandu wewavili na mapanga na vibonga. Vandu venavo vatumwili na vakulu va kuteta, Vawula va Malagizu na vagogo.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.

44Yuda, yula mweamgotwili Yesu, avapelili ulangisu msambi wa vandu wula, “Kuvya yula mwenikumjambusa cha kumkumbatila, ndi mumkamula na mumpeleka kuni avi muulonda.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Yuda peahikili ndu amuhambalili Yesu akamjovela, “Muwula!” Kangi akamjambusa cha kumkumbatila.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Hinu vandu vala vakamkamula Yesu na kumkunga.Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47Mmonga mweayimili pamonga na Yesu, akaholomola upanga waki, akamdumula likutu mvanda wa Mteta Mkulu.And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Yesu akamjovela, “Wu, mbwelili na mapanga na vibonga kunikamula ngati kuvya nene mnyagaji?Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Magono goha navi pamonga na nyenye, niwula ku Nyumba ya Chapanga, nambu mwanikamwili lepi. Nambu hinu yikugagana Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimilayi.”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.”

50Penapo vawuliwa voha vakamleka na kutila.Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51Kwavili na msongolo mmonga mweamlandayi Yesu awalili chikwinda. Vene valingili kumkamula.One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52Nambu mwene akalema, akachileka chikwinda chila, akajumba waka.but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53Hinu, vampeliki Yesu kunyumba ya Mteta Mkulu, penapo ndi pevakonganiki pamonga vakulu va kuteta voha na vagogo na Vawula va Malagizu.They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54Petili amlandili Yesu chapatali, akayingila muluvanja lwa nyumba ya Mteta Mkulu. Akatama pamonga na valonda kuyota motu.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.

55Vakulu va kuteta na libanji loha valondai lilovi la kumtakila Yesu muni vahotola kumkoma, nambu valipati lepi.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

56Vandu vamahele vajovili gaudese ndava ya Yesu, nambu malovi gavi gayidakilini lepi.For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

57Kangi vandu vangi vakayima kujova udese ndava ya Yesu, vakajova,Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:

58“Tete tamuyuwini ijova, ‘Nene yati nigwisa Nyumba ya Chapanga iyi yeyijengiwi na vandu, na mu magono gadatu yati nijenga yingi yangajengewa na vandu.’ ”“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

59Nambu pamonga na ago, malovi gavi gayidikilini lepi.But even their testimony was inconsistent.

60Hinu, Mteta Mkulu akayima pagati yavi akamkota Yesu, “Wu, wiyangula lepi lilovi, vandu venava vakukutakila kyani?”So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

61Nambu mwene agunili, ajovili lepi lilovi hati limonga. Mkulu wa kuteta akamkota kavili, “Veve ndi Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga Mmotisa?”But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62Yesu akayangula, “Ena, ndi nene. Kavili yati mukumlola Mwana wa Mundu atamili upandi wa kulyelela cha Bambu yula mweavi na makakala. Ibwela kuhumila mumahundi ga kunani kwa Chapanga!”“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.”

63Penapo ndi Mteta Mkulu akapapula nyula zaki, akajova, “Tigana lepi kuyuwana malovi gangi ndava ya mundu uyu!At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

64Mumyuwini cheakumliga Chapanga! Nyenye mjova wuli?” Voha vamganili akomiwa.You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

65Hinu, vangi pagati yavi vakatumbula kumuhunyila mata, vakamgubika pamihu vakamtova na kumjovela, “Lotelayi, ndi yani mweakutovili!” Hati valonda vakamtola, vakampamanda.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.

66Petili peavi akona muluvanja lwa nyumba, mtumisi mmonga wa chidala wa Mteta Mkulu abwelili.While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67Peamuweni Petili iyota motu, amlolili, akamjovela, “Hati veve wavili pamonga na Yesu wa ku Nazaleti.”and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68Nambu Petili akabela, “Kwali, nakuchimanya cheujova!” Petili akawuka akahamba pamlyangu wa kuyingilila. Penapo ndi lijogolo likakokoleka.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.

69Muhengaji mdala yula, peamuwene kavili Petili, akatumbula kangi kuvajovela vandu vevavi penapo, “Mundu uyu ndi mmonga wavi.”There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70Nambu Petili akabela kavili. Mwanakandahi, vandu vevayimili penapo vamjovili Petili, “Chakaka veve ndi mmonga wavi, muni veve mewawa ndi mundu wa ku Galilaya.”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.”

71Nambu Petili akatumbula kujova, “Nipewa likoto ngati nijova udese! Nilapa nimmanyili lepi mundu uyu mwemukumuluwula.”But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72Bahapo lijogolo likakokoleka mala ya pavili. Petili akumbwiki Yesu cheamjovili, “Kwakona lijogolo langakokoleka yati ukunibela mala zidatu.” Petili akajitaga pahi na kuvemba.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.
