Mark 14 (YAF) · Opened

1Bilumbu byodi byásala mu kuta mukinzi wa Phaki yi mukinzi wa mapha makonda muvimbu. Bambuta ba banganga Nzambi yi balongi ba mitsiku bakala sanda phila ya kumukwata Yesu mu mayedi mambi ndangu bamuhonda.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.

2Bakala zimbula: «Heku ni mu tangwa dya mukinzi, hanga kwakala nana mvwalangani mu kati dya batu.»“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

3Yesu ku Betaniya kákala muna nzu ya Simoni mukwa bwasi. Buna kákala ku mesa mukhetu mosi wákota amana kákala yi mulangi wabasa yi mananasi ma mukwandi, ma thalu ya lawu. Wábula mulangi amana wázunzila mananasi hana mutwa wa Yesu.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.

4Ndambu ya batu bahika báyuka kikudi-kudi, hanga beka dizimbwala bawu yi bawu: «Kikuma kya biki kuzanga mananasi mama bwabu?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5Wadi bakhanima sumbisa mananasi mana mu thalu ya khama tatu za phata, amana mbongu bahana kwena batsukami!» Amana bakala mukumba mukhetu wuna.It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6Kaasi Yesu wázimbula: «Muyambulenu. Kikuma kya biki lubati muyangisila? Dyambu dya bukheti kahangini kwena meni.But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7Mukuma, batsukami lwakadiki bawu kosu tangwa, amana lufwani kubasadisa tangwa dina lumoni; kaasi meni twakádikiku yenu kosu tangwa.The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8Yandi kahangi buna kálendidini: katekidi zunzila mananasi mu lutu lwama kikuma kya kuyidika kuzika kwa lutu lwama.She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9Mu kyedika yiluzimbwadini: kwosu kuna básamuna Musamu wa Bukheti, muna tsi yosu, baménikiki phi mambu mama kahangini mukhetu yandu, kikuma kya kumubambuka.»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.”

10Yutasi Sikadyoti, mosi wa bawu kumi yi bodi, wénda kwena bambuta ba banganga Nzambi ndangu kabalambwala yandi Yesu.Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11Buna bámuyuka, básangwala lawu amana básila ni bamuheka mbongu. Yutasi kakala sanda tangwa dya mboti ndangu kamulambula 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.

12Kilumbu kya theti kya mukinzi wa mapha makonda muvimbu, muna kilumbu kina bakala tambika kimenga kya mukinzi wa Phaki, balonguki bandi bamuzimbwadini: «Kubiki wuzodi ni thwenda kuyidikila madya ma mukinzi wa Phaki?»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?”

13Hanga Yesu wátuma bodi mu kati dya balonguki bandi amana wubazimbwadini: «Alwenda kuna mbanza, lwatúndakana yakala mosi wubati nata kalondu kenina yi mamba. Mulandenu.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,

14Amana muna kakóta, zimbulenu kwena mukwa nzu: "Mulongi kazimbudini: Kubiki wenina mwanza wuna yidíla madya ma Phaki yi balonguki bama?"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?’

15Kalúsongila mwanza wumosi wenina wambuta kuna zilu, wenina wakuyidika kedi yi bima byosu. Yi mwamuna lwayídikila mambu kikuma kya betu.»And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16Balonguki bénda, buna bátula ku mbanza, báwana phi mambu bwosu kábazimbwala amana báyidika madya ma Phaki.So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

17Ha mábwa masikidika, Yesu wátula hakimosi yi bawu kumi yi bodi.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18Buna bákala kuna mesa yi kudyaka, Yesu wuzimbuni: «Mu kyedika, yiluzimbwadini: mosi mu kati dya benu, wubati dya yi meni, kandámbula.»And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19Kiwayi kyábakwata lawu, báyandika mu kumuzimbwala mosi kunima mukwawu: «Ka meni ku, bweku?»They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20Yandi wábavutwala: «Kenina mosi muna kati dya benu kumi yi bodi, wuna wuvundikini koku ha longa dimosi yi meni, yandi wuna wandámbula.He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21Mwana wa mutu kabati kwenda, bwosu bwásonama kikuma kya yandi; kaasi khi kyadi kwena mutu wuna wamúlambula Mwana wa mutu! Bwálunga ni mutu wuna kabutukaku kwandi!»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.”

22Buna bákala dya, Yesu wátambula dipha, wásambuladya, wábukunadya amana wáhanadya kwena balonguki mu kuzimbula: «Tambulenu, lwalu lwenina lutu lwama.»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.”

23Kunima, wátambula bungu dimosi, kunima dya kuvutula matondu, wábahekadya, amana bánwaya boosu.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24Hanga wubazimbwadini: «Mama menina menga mama, ma bulunda bwa Nzambi, mana matyakani kikuma kya batu lawu.He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Mu kyedika, yiluzimbwadini: yinwaku hika vinu dina, tii yi kuna kilumbu kina yinwádya, dya pha, muna luyalu lwa Nzambi.»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.”

26Kunima dya kuyimbila mikunga, bálubuka, benda ku mongu wa Olive.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27Hanga Yesu wubazimbwadini: «Kisinza kyakála kikuma kya benu boosu, mukuma bwásonama bwabu: "Yimúhonda kalema, amana mikoku myamwángalakana."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.’

28Kaasi kunima dya kufutumuka kwama, yilútekidila kuna Ngadidi.»But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Phetelu wumuzimbwadini: «Tangwa kyakála kisinza kikuma kya boosu, kyakálaku kikuma kya meni.»Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30Yesu wámuvutwala: «Mu kyedika yikuzimbwadini: lelu, muna phipha meni yayi, khoku kakókulaku kedi mbala zodi, ngeyi watsúwangana mbala tatu.»“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31Kaasi Phetelu wávutula yi ngolu zoosu: «Keti kufwa, yifwa hakimosi yi ngeyi, yikusuwanganaku.» Balonguki boosu bázimbula phi phila mosi.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.

32Bisa tula homa hamosi bisi tela mu khumbu ya Ngetisemani, amana Yesu wázimbula kwena balonguki bandi: «Zakalenu haha, kithama kina yikwata lombila.»Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33Wábonga ha kimosi yi yandi Phetelu, Zyaki yi Yowani. Amana wáyandika kuyuka kyadi yi kiwayi.He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34Hanga wubazimbwadini: «Mbundu yama mu kiwayi yenina yi kuna lufwa; salenu haha, amana kalenu batokama.»Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35Buna káphusana ndambu, wábwa ha tsi amana wálombila ni, yuka bwalendakana, tangwa meni dina dyahaluka yi yandi.Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36Kakala zimbula: «Aba, Tata, moosu maléndakana kwena ngeyi; halula kwena meni bungu dyadi. Kaasi ka luzolu lwa meni ku kaasi luzolu lwaku lwahangama.»“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37Yesu wísa kwena balonguki bawu batatu amana kábawana banimba; wázimbula kwena Phetelu: «Simoni, wunimbi? Wulendiku mu kutokama keti tangwa dimosi?Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Kalenu batemuna, lombilenu phi, ndangu lubwaku mu kimeka. Kitembu kyazyama kyenina kaasi lutu lwalembwa lwenina.»Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39Wáhaluka hika amana wálombila mu kulandulula ndinga zimosi meni.Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40Kunima wisa vutuka hika, wubawani ku kilu, mukuma mesu ma bawu zitu mákala. Bámonaku biki bamuzimbwala.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41Yesu wisa vutuka mu mbala ya tatu amana wábazimbwala: «Lunimbi hika, lulembwiki kwenu? Yimeni, tangwa dibwesukini. Mwana wa mutu bamulambudi ku moku ma basumuki.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.

42Telamenu, thwendenu! Tala, wekina bela-bela wuna ndambudini!»Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

43Muna tangwa meni dina kakala zonza Yesu, Yutasi, mosi wa bawu kumi yi bodi wátula hahana, hakimosi yi mulumba-lumba wa batu bakala yi mbedi za phoku yi khindi hana moku. Bábatuma kwena bambuta ba banganga Nzambi, balongi ba mitsiku yi bambuta ba bayuta.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.

44Yutasi wuna wakala mulambula, watekila basongila kidimbu kimosi mu kuzimbula: «Wuna yibumbakana, yandi wuna. Mukwatenu amana munatenu buna bwa bukheti.»Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Buna kátula, wubwesukini kuna kákala Yesu, wuzimbudini: «Labuni!» Amana wámubumbakana.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Hanga batu meni bana bamubwidini Yesu amana bamunatini.Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47Mosi wa bana bákala hahana, wáhola mbedi ya phoku, wámutapha musadi wa mbuta wa banganga Nzambi amana wámuhuta kwiti.And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Yesu wábazimbwala: «Lwisi khwata yi mbedi yi khindi, hanga mbedi ni ndwandwa yenina?Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Yíkala yenu bilumbu byosu kuna nzu ya Nzambi mu kulongaka, amana lwákhwataku. Kaasi mamana mabwini ndangu malungila Masonuku.»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.”

50Hanga boosu bamusisini, amana batini kwabawu.Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51Ngunza mosi wakala mulanda, wadivunga muledi wa thangi. Bámukwata,One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52kaasi yandi wásutula muledi amana wátina kikhonga.but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53Yesu, bamunata ku nzu ya mbuta wa banganga Nzambi, kuna bákutakanina bambuta ba banganga Nzambi boosu, bambuta ba bayuta yi balongi ba mitsiku.They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54Phetelu kakala mulanda kuna kyana, yi kuna kyanzala kya nzu ya mbuta wa banganga Nzambi. Buna kákota muna kati, wázakala yi batsinzidi, kikuma kya yikuyeta mbawu.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.

55Bambuta ba banganga Nzambi yi kimvuka kyambuta bakala sanda kimbangi kya mbi kikuma kya Yesu, ndangu bamuzengila ndola ya lufwa, kaasi bámonakyoku.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

56Mukuma lawu dya bambangi ba luvunu bisa funda, kaasi bimbangi byáfwananaku.For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

57Ndambu ya batu bálubuka mu kumutila kimbangi kyaki kya luvunu:Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:

58«Twámuyuka yandu mu kuzimbula: "Yiwúlumuna nzu ya Nzambi yayi bátunga ku moku ma batu, amana mu bilumbu bitatu, yitúngulula yikwawu yina yakonda tungama ku moku ma batu."»“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

59Amana mbatanana buna, bimbangi bya bawu byákalaku fwanana.But even their testimony was inconsistent.

60Hanga mbuta wa banganga Nzambi wutelami hana kati dya lukutakanu, wáyufula kwena Yesu: «Keti kima wubatiku vutula? Biki wuzonzi kikuma kya bimbangi byabi babati kufundila baba?»So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

61Kaasi Yesu kakalaku yakula, kakalaku vutula keti ndinga. Mbuta wa banganga Nzambi wámuhyula hika: «Ngeyi wenina Kidisitu, Mwana wa Nzambi wasambuka?»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 wávutula: «Meni yandu. Amana lwamóna Mwana wa mutu wazakala kuna koku dya kitata dya Nzambi mukwa Ngolu zoosu amana kakwísa muna matuti ma zilu.»“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.”

63Hanga mbuta wa banganga Nzambi wuyati miledi myandi, amana wuzimbudini: «Kikuma kya biki twasandila hika bambangi?At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

64Luyuki benu-benu ngusi katukwani Nzambi; Abweti lubanzi benu?» Boosu bázimbula ni kufwa muna kufwa.You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

65Hanga batu bahika bamuhumi metya kuna mbunzu, bamufidingi mbunzu amana bamuti makufi mu kuzimbula: «Bikuleti, keti nati wukubetini!» Amana batsinzidi bamuti mbata.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.

66Buna kákala Phetelu wazakala kuna phenza, hana kyanzala, musadi mosi wa mukhetu wa mbuta wa banganga Nzambi wátula.While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67Buna kámona Phetelu wakala yeta mbawu, wámutala amana wuzimbudini: «Ngeyi phi, wukadikini yi Yesu, mwisi Nazaleti.»and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68Kaasi yandi wásuwangana mu kuzimbula: «Nzayiku, mbatiku bakula mana wuzodi wazimbula, ngeyi.» Kunima wálubuka ndangu kenda ku mwelu wa kyanzala; hanga khoku mosi wukokuni.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.

69Musadi wa mukhetu wámumona hika amana wáyandikila mu kuzimbula kwena babana bákala hakana: «Yandu phi kenina mosi wa bawu!»There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70Amana yandi wásuwangana hika. Kunima dya tangwa dya khunda, babana bákala hakana bázimbula hika kwena Phetelu: «Kyedika, ngeyi wenina mosi wa bawu, mukuma mwisi Ngadidi phi wenina.»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.”

71Hanga Phetelu wuyandiki mu kudya ndefi: «Yukani meni yimuzayi mutu yandu, Nzambi kapheka ndola!»But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72Amana muna tangwa meni dina, khoku wákokula mu mbala ya zodi. Phetelu wáyubuka ndinga yina kámuzimbwala Yesu: «Khoku kakókulaku kedi mu ya mbala zodi, ngeyi watsúwangana meni mbala tatu.» Hanga wuyandiki mu kudila.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.
