Matthew 26 (XSN)

1Nangka Yeso ka mare o beya apate epaname, na ka bekaa atoma akai ana,When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

2“Erose na Ozǝnggǝ Ocakate tata kaa amora aleerea, ayo kang nya Kena ka oromo ka gendare kai a uti.”“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Na andaamoole magame ma Akwilǝ Ashili kaa andaano aromo ne gwarnang akwilǝ ondo ogong o magame ma Akwilǝ Ashili, ka aa rare wai na Kayafa.At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4Na ne tere nangka neya moke a Yeso asuk ka ne wong kai.and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

5Aa ne bekaana, ‘‘Wato gwara awere ozǝnggǝ me ne, adorana tana aromo ne ara o kara ne.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6Aa, Yeso kaya apeng a Betanya akwilǝ Siman, ondooka samba waye ka legangca,While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7na kandaaye ka yende de ara Yeso ka kagwi ka a eze kai kaa acale onis aa ka pena ka manau ma owaze olebo ma emate ecake. Awere aaka kaya lya epaolya naka kare kai manau mame ukpwei.a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

8Nangka atoma kai ne laka nyimi, na ne kone oburǝ aane bekaa tukpwei tone na, “Onna ocara emate wai!”When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

9“Ayya aa lisǝ manau maana, aa yo ci emate acake ka nya ana odera.”This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

10Aa nangka Yeso ka rose epa eka neya beyame, na ka bekaa nee na, “Eyaka eya gera kandaye kaana? Enna, epa ererea kaya eza ong.Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

11Ana o dera neye legwa kaa ying koonang were, aa koonag werea anto ya legwa kaa ying ne.The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

12Okare manau maana aa kaa ezang, kaya goro ongngha o matasakong mang.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

13Ang dongdong ya baale oying, pate ara aka ayo baala orooka olebo ona aa lerambo aa pate, ayo beya orooka azaa epa eeka kandaye kaana kaya ka rintǝ ka kai.”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.”

14Na ondo a nyimi atoma Yeso lekuri, ka a beya wai ana Yahuda Iskariyoti, wa ale andaamoole magame ma Akwilǝ Ashili,Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15na wa pirkǝ nee na, “Eya nya ong eya maa nya ying kai?” Na ne bale o azorpa etuuru taaro, nane nya wai o azorpo etuuru taaro.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.

16O era awere namea wa gere orona ooka wayo nya Yeso.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

17Nangka lengme le o bora le Ozǝnggǝ Oborode Odera o Yisti, na atoma Yeso de nane pirkǝ kai na, “Aruwǝ me oya yeme a te babarau ara olya epaolya ozǝnggǝ ocakate me?”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?”

18Na Yeso kabare nee na, “Ale na aa nyimi peng ara oromo yende ka e bekaa wai na, ‘Ondo obaala wa bekaana awere a kai a amara, kayo lya epaolya Ozǝnggǝ Ocakate a akwilǝ au kaa atoma a kai.’ ”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.’”

19Na atoma me ne eze akap nangka Yeso ka ote ne, nane kang goro ekeeya azaa Ozǝnggǝ Ocakate me.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20Nangka ulyǝlu waye, na Yeso cikǝ a lya epaolya ka atoma kai betuuru ke leere.When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21Neya nyimia olya epaolya, naka bekaana, “Ang dongdong bele oying, ondo aa nyimi oying wayo naying.”And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22Na anyong ane caro ajǝng, na komana one bore o pirǝ o kai ayeyende, aane beyaa na, “Anyya, mia na, Ateokora?”They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Na Yeso kabare na, “Ondooka waya pasa taara oso yende kaa mi, waiya ya nayi ong.Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24Kena ka Oromo kayo gbwǝ nangka a wele angmǝ Ashili azaa kai. Pate ka nyimi, ondooka waya nayi Kena ka Oromo wa lyǝ udi! Wa kala o bena mara taa a ngmengha wai ne.”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.”

25Na Yahuda ka wa ya nayi kai pirkǝ na, “Ondo obaala, mia na,?’’ Na Yeso kabare wai na, “Bo ma baa beka.”Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

26Neya za olya epaolya, na Yeso jeka oborode, na ka wore okona oleba Ashili, aa ka nyeskare, na ka nya atoma akai, aa ka bekaana “Emba, ka e lya. Leena lepung lengha le.”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.”

27Na ka jeke kaso ka manyi ma o inabi. Malo owore okona oleba Ashili, na ka nya ne aka bekaana, “Sa na aa pate oying.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28Obena manna manyau mangngha mai, ma owore opanza okabare otono osau, ka ayo oka aza aromo a cake, ka opisǝ madinǝ mane.This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29Eyang baala oying, anta kang sa manyi ma o inabi na ne, seena lengme lenname ka teyo sa ma yende ma sau ka ying a togomo te Ate ang.”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.”

30Nangka Yeso kaa atoma kai ne beye leera, nane suri, aane ale a oyara o mati ma o Zaitun.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Na Yeso bekaane na, “Pate oying eyo songha e bayang aa lelyaare leena, azaa epaeka eyo manang, nangka a wele na, “‘Eyang taba ondo otare ka enama, legwa le emande epeng me yo bacakarna.’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.’

32Aa malo ara ong malo o gbwǝ, eyang kaana ying a ale a makeke ma Galili.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Biturusu wa bekaa Yeso, “Pate one ne songha azaa epa eeka eyo manau, mi antang tukǝ songha ne.”Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34Na Yeso beka wai na, “Ang dongdong bele o, aa lelyaare leena, zongka orunǝ sene, oyo sangga orosa ong ka taaro.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35Na Biturusu bekaa kai na, “Ayaa wongha ong, anto sangga orosa o ne.” Nyimia apate odangare atoma kai ne beke.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

36Malo o nyimia, Yeso kaa atoma kai ne alea ara kaa beya ai na Gasamani. Ara aaka a pilizi ayana o zaitun ne. Naka bekaa atoma kai, “Cikǝ na arakaana, eyang alea sanini kang beye angmǝ kaa Ashili.”Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Na ka ale ka Biturusu, a ayana Zebadi aleere, Yakubu kaa Yohana, naka bore o caro anyong kaa o kona o burǝ maleu.He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38Aaka kang bekaa nee na, “O caro a nyong ka waya lenyong leng wa era aa wa wongngeng. Cikǝna arakaana ee eza le'enda ka mi.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Nangka ka lya izi a baate, na ka taru ka mayinu a deze, aa ka beye angmǝ kaa Ashili na, “Ate ang, nyimi waayo ya, saareng kaso ka ozitǝ kaana. Pate ka nyimi sang, epa eeka eyang yeme me eya ato yeme ne, soona epa eeka bo oya yeme me.”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.”

40Ka o kurǝ ara atoma akai, naka mana ne aa aneya malau, na ka bekaa Biturusu na, “E era eta ama le'enda kaa mi, na awere yende ne na?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.

41Cikǝ na aa le'enda, ee kang beya na angmǝ kaa Ashili adorana tana e rǝzi aa nyimi okedeya ne. Dongdong lenyong lee kabare, aa lepung kangza leya nyana.”“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42Naka kuri o leere, na ka beye angmǝ kaa Ashili aaka bekaana, “Ate ang, ozitǝ ona waata kala ne seeka ma se wai, a baya aa eze apa eeka bo oya yeme me.”A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43Nangka ka kang kurǝ, aa ka kang mana ne a malau, azaa obena ayizi ane a pena ka malau.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44Naka sukǝ o baya one, na ka kuri aa beya angmǝ kaa Ashili o taaro, na ka tikǝri angmǝ aaka ka be samba.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45Na ka kuri ara atoma kai, aaka bekaa nee na, “Etata a malau nanna, eeya teseke na?” Laka na, awere aya, ka ayo nya Kena ka Oromo a taara te ana madinǝ.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.

46Erana ka ale. Laka na, ondo nya ong awaana, wa dukǝ.”Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

47Zongka ka pate o ngmǝ, na Yahuda, oyende a nyimia atoma betuuru kaa leere name, dukǝ ka aromo a cake, ka masagali, ka sebenda. Andaamoole magame ma Akwilǝ Ashilia kaa andaano aromoa ne tongha ne.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.

48Aa ondo o nayi okai wa samba o wore one obena, “Kondo kamea ma beya kai oko ang gambare kai, kaiya karomo kame. Moke na kai.”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49Ka o dǝkǝ wai na wa paka a Yeso, aa wa bekaana, “Oya cammo na, Ondobaala!” Aa wa beye kai oko ka o gambare.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50Na Yeso bekaa wai na, “Oja ong, eza epa eka e deya ka bo.” Na aromo de na ne meke Yeso, nane monte kai.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

51Ka o laka nyimi, na ondo a nyimi andaaka Yeso kaye legwa ka ne sǝǝrǝ osagali na wa lope oto o ozara andoo ogong ona magame ma Ashili.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Na Yeso bekaa wai na, “Kuriyǝ osagali o a nyimi opano wai. Pate ondooka wa lopa osagali, osagali yo wongha wai.“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53Eya gonta na anta ka o bare kang gera okangkama Ate ang, kangza aa saseya a kawa turki legwa le atoma Ashili o dera lepung, kane kala legwa le ana o tesa geza a moole be tuuru ka leere sang?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?

54Na, a wiinia a ngmǝ Ashili itǝ maganggang aaka a wele, ka aa beyaa na dongdong nyimi mea yo ya?But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

55Awere name, na Yeso beka a aromo me na, “E surǝa ka masagali ka sebenda ka e mokeng na ondo o tǝǝru a aromo na? Koonang lengme ang ciisǝ a akwilǝ Ashili ang baaleze na eta mekeng ne.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.

56Aa pate a eze nyimia adorana a panza epa eka ana o beya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili ne wela.” Ka o kona nyimi na pat atoma kai ne song aane baya kai.But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

57Na andaaka ne moke Yeso ale ka kai a Keyafa, ondoo gong ana magame ma Ashili, ara aka ana baala a ngmǝ aaka Ashili a nya Mosa kaa andaano ne kurkǝnǝng ne.Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

58Na Biturusu tarze kai aa macangcang aa alea nyimi akora ondoo ogong magame ma Ashili. Nangka wa lyǝ nawa cikǝ kaa ana le'enda, ka wa laka nangka ayo maare.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.

59Na andaamoole magame ma Ashili kaa anatendaasau, pate one nane gere angmǝ majǝkǝri kaa ayo eza Yeso adorana ne cǝ orona o wongha kai.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

60Pate kaa nyimi na ne ta cǝ ne, o bekaana aromo a cake ne ya beya majǝkǝri azaa kai. Malo me na aromo leere surǝ,But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

61ne bekaa na, “Karomo oona wa bekaana, ‘Wa era wa oke akwilǝ Ashili ana, aa wa sowa ai a nyimi tomore te taaro.’ ”and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

62Na ondo gong magame ma Ashili ere aa itǝ na wa bekana, “Ota ke epa o beka ne na? Epa ena aa neya beyaa na ba beke pa?”So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63Na Yeso sokong kome. Na ondo o gong magame ma Ashili beka a kai na, “Ma gwarau ka Ashili aka ya ka ebeene, bele ro, ‘Boa Almasipu, Kena ka Ashili.”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.”

64Na Yeso bekaa wai na, “Nangka ba beka. Aa eyang bele ying, ba ale a izi, eya laka Kena ka Oromo a cikǝ o ara oree Ondo Keeya, aa ka kang deya aza mawere.”“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.”

65Na ondo o gong magame ma Ashili daara madibi ma wai azaa o caro a nyong, aa wa bekaana, “Ka sopa! Eya teya gerame kangza? Ee kona o sopa ooka kaya.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.

66Eya madoola maying? Nane kabare na, “Ka gwara a wong kai.”What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

67Nane karze kai mawo a mainu, aa ne ola kai, ana ondo kangza nane kpweze kai to maare.Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

68Aane beya ana, “Bele ro epa eka ayo eza aa izi, boa baa ya Almasipu. Mana wa olau?”and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

69Aa Biturusu ya cikǝ o yanga a tatara akwilǝ ogomo, na ka kazara kagala de naka zundǝ wai, aa ka bekaana wai na, “Bo kangza oya legwa ka Yeso ka o Galili!”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.

70Na Biturusu wa sangga a begeshe bene apate, aa wa bekaana, “Mi anta rose epa eka oya beya me ne.”But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

71Nangka wa surǝ aa tatara akwilǝ ogomo, na kazara ka ai yende kangza laka wai, na ka beka andaaka ne ya itǝ arame na, “Oromo na waye legwa ka Yeso ka Nazarat!”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.”

72Na wa kang sangga ka otongzo na, “Anta rosa oromo name ne.”And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

73Ka o rabo a baate, na andaaka neya itǝ arame de ane bekaa Biturusu na, “Ma shango tarenene, bo ma oya nyimi one. Obelo angmǝ au, aa pǝro.”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.”

74Na wa bora angmǝ aburu aza ukpwei wai, aa wa tongzo, aa wa beyaana, “Anta rosa oromo me ne!” Awerename na urunǝ sene.At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

75Na Biturusu rintǝ angmǝ a Yeso na, “Zongka orunǝ sene, oyo sangga orosa ong ka taaro.” Na wa surǝ o yanga na wa ruzii a maleo.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.
