Mark 14 (YNS) · Opened

1Byàsäl ilä ibyeel Pak anà un'kyɔm a mampà ikɔ̈ɔ̈n ful mukwo, amfum a angaŋ anà alɔɔŋ a in'kɔɔn bàleŋà impeenà mukɔr Yɛsu, waa bun'dwa.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.

2Ntɔn ba bàtɛɛnà naa: « Kà uboo a un'kyɔm anki, manà lingyoomà layàbilà uboo a un'sɛŋ. »“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

3Yɛsu kàkäl u Bɛtani u ndwà a Simɔn ŋabay, mpal kàkäl nde u mɛsà mudyà, un'kaar mwɛy kàyi anà làbuuŋ aŋàyɔl a may a usɔŋ a ndandaa màntal mbɔɔn. Nde kàduub la, waa kun'tsüül udu a un'tswe.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.

4Baar bumwɛy bàkäl paa bàmɛn ube, waa bàtɛɛnà ba a ba naa: « Ntɔn nkye mubi may a usɔŋ amà abà?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5Yàlàbwaŋ naa bàyälà ma màŋàsɔ̈ɔ̈nà nkam tär yà itɛr a ngim, waa bàlàpà aŋàlàmbwà! » Ba bàpɛlà un'kaar awà.It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6Wɛɛ Yɛsu kàtɛn naa: « Lun'si a duu. Ntɔn nkye lun'paa bɛ mpay? Nde kan'kyer undiir aŋàbwaŋ akà mɛ.But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7Ntɔn aŋàlàmbwà bɛ làbà anà ba taaŋ lanswà, bɛ lan'kwo mukakyer ubwaŋ mpal làkwen bɛ, wɛɛ mɛ, mɛ anà bɛ watɛy taaŋ lanswà.The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8Undiir kàkwen nde mukyer, nde kan'kyer wa: kusà nde kan'tsuul ndür amɛ may a usɔŋ ntɔn ndyee aya.She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9Ndandaa mɛ alàkyään, ntsü yanswà bàsàpay Làsaŋ Aŋàbwaŋ, u mɛɛn manswà, bàsataa ndaa kan'kyer un'kaar wà ntɔn muyɔbà mɔ̈ɔ̈ ande. »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.”

10Yudas Iskaryɔt, umwɛy uboo a alɔŋki Kwem Aŋiyweel, kàkyen akà amfum a angaŋ ntɔn mukàyàlà Yɛsu.Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11Ba bàkäl kà un'sak ntɔn làsaŋ alan. Ba bàdirà mukun'pà ngim. Apan nde kàleŋà ipöl aŋàbwaŋ mukun'yälà.They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

12Ilä atàtwɛb kyà mampà ikɔ̈ɔ̈n ful, ilä bàfàdwa in'tö a in'kɔk ntɔn isaa a Pak, alɔŋki a Yɛsu ban'tɛn a nde naa: « Ikal nà ngye akwen bi ikàyilà ntɔn ngye akàdyà Pak? »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?”

13Apan Yɛsu kàtöm alɔŋki ande bɔ̈ɔ̈l, waa kàtɛn a ba naa: « Làkyen u bul a kölàköl, bɛ làkàman baal mwɛy we anà làbuuŋ a an'dà ayàmɛɛn anà bɛ, lun'läb.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,

14Ikal kyanswà ukàbilà nde, làtɛn akà ŋàndwà naa: "Un'lɔɔŋ kan'tɛn naa: Làken suk in'dyà mɛ Pak anà alɔŋki amɛ?"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?’

15Nde akàlaswaŋ suk a du làkölàköl làŋakwo anà indiir byanswà. Ngiil ntɔn bi, bɛ làkàkyer kwo. »And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16Alɔŋki bàkyen ba, bàtɔ̈l ba u bul a kölàköl, ba bàmɛn asànaa kàtɛn nde a ba, waa bàyöŋà Pak.So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

17Mpal làbü sisye, Yɛsu kàyi anà Bàkwem Aŋiyweel.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18Umpal bàkäl ba u mɛsà bàmudyà, nde kàtɛn naa: « Ndandaa mɛ alàkyään, umwɛy uboo a bɛ awàmudyà anà mɛ, akyer ayan'yälà. »And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19Alɔŋki bàmɛn ngyɛb mbɔɔn, waa bàsɛmà mukun'fuul umwɛy umwɛy: « Nkye an'kwo ikäl mɛ? »They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20Nde kàtɛn a ba naa: « Umwɛy uboo a Bàkwem Aŋiyweel, kan'dümà kɔɔ ande mbwo mwɛy anà mɛ uboo làlɔŋà.He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21Ntɔn Mwan a mbuur akyer akyà asànaa bàsön ya ntɔn nde, wɛɛ ngyɛb akà mbuur ban'yälà Mwan a mbuur u mbwo a nde! Yàlàkal ubwaŋ mbɔɔn akà nde naa bàkɔɔn un'bɔr! »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.”

22Utaaŋ adyà, Yɛsu kàwɛl mampà, ungö musaak ma, nde kàtsül ma, waa kapɛ, waa kàtɛn naa: « Làwɛl, ayi yà ndür amɛ. »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.”

23Waa kàwɛl kɔɔb, ungö mufuur an'tɔɔn, nde kapɛ la, waa ba banswà bànü unsà la.Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24Yɛsu kàtɛn a ba naa: « Amà an'kil amɛ, an'kil a nkwà màtyaŋà ntɔn bàmbɔɔn.He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Ndandaa mɛ alàkyään: mɛ in'fàsànwà anki akà ikikye vin tii ilä in'sànwà mɛ vin akün kà imwol a Nzam. »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.”

26Ungö mutɔɔl an'diim, ba bàtoo ntɔn mukyà mɔŋ a in'te a Ɔlive.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27Yɛsu kàtɛn a ba naa: « Bɛ, bɛ banswà làkyer asan'kɔɔb, ntɔn bàsön naa: "Mɛ in'sàdwa un'kyɛɛŋ, waa in'kɔk isàtà upay."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.’

28Wɛɛ mɛ, ungö a ngwiiyà, mɛ in'sàfweel kusà a bɛ u Ngalilɛ. »But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Petɔlà kàtɛn a nde naa: « Itàkal naa baar banswà bàmakɔɔb, wɛɛ mɛ, mɛ in'sakɔɔb anki. »Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30Yɛsu waa utɛn a nde naa: « Ndandaa mɛ akyään: ŋàbawà, mpib nsil ayi, kusà nkɔɔ mubel mbalà yweel, ngye, ngye ayan'tɔn mbalà tär. »“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31Wɛɛ nde, nde kàfàfuur a ngwal: « Mɛ, itàkal naa mɛ in'kyer akwà anà ngye, aay, mɛ ngye in'satɔn tɛy. » Ba banswà bàkäl mun mwɛy wa.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.

32Apan ba bàyàkɔlà kà ikal mwɛy bàfàbel naa Ngɛtɛsɛmani, Yɛsu waa kàtɛn a alɔŋki ande naa: « Sàlàbwaay pà, umpal in'kàyamà mɛ. »Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33Ungö nde kàsyen Petɔlà, Yakɔb anà Ywan. Apan nde kàsɛmà muwem matɛɛr anà ngyɛb mbɔɔn.He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34Nde kàtɛn a ba naa: « Mɔ̈ɔ̈ amɛ wàŋàyɔl a ngyɛb yan'kwo mudwa. Sàlasäl pà, làkyɛŋ. »Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35Nde kàkyen u kikwɛl, waa kàbü an'köm, kàyamà naa kya mbwo isàkal, taaŋ alà làlyaaŋ ukwɛl apà nde.Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36Nde kàtɛɛnà naa: « Taa, indiir byanswà akà ngye ikyer afàkwo, lwom kɔɔb a mpay aŋàkir là apà mɛ. Itàkal abwɛy, kà ndaa in'kwen mɛ anki, wɛɛ ayan'kwen ngye. »“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37Ungö apan nde kan'yà, kan'man ba bàŋàbɔ̈ɔ̈n, waa kan'tɛn a Petɔlà: « Simɔn, ngye an'bɔ̈ɔ̈n? Nkye ngye asàkal anki anà ngwal mukyɛŋ itàkal akà taaŋ làmwɛy?Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Làkyɛŋ, làyamà, ntɔn bɛ làkɔ̈ɔ̈n abwà u ndɛb. Dweelà làŋàyɔl a ngwal, wɛɛ ndür ye anà gyɔ̈ɔ̈là. »Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39Nde kàfàkyà u kikwɛl, waa kàyamà wàmufuur ndaa nsil ya.Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40Apan, nde kàyi mbalà asin, waa kàfaman bàmubɔ̈ɔ̈n, ntɔn mii aba myàkäl myàŋàbwà buur. Ba waa mpa bàyöb naa bun'fuur aben.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41U mbalà yàtär kan'yà nde, nde kan'tɛn a ba naa: « Làläb mubɔ̈ɔ̈n, làyöör. Yan'wà! Taaŋ lan'kwo: le, Mwan a mbuur bàmuyälà kà an'kɔɔ a baar abe.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.

42Làmbarà, tsweenà! Làler, mbuur kàman'yälà wà tsütsü. »Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

43Umpal kàkäl nde muyäämà, Yudasi, umwɛy uboo a Bàkwem Aŋiyweel, kàyàkɔlà anà iköŋ a baar mbɔɔn bàtöm andweer a angaŋ anà andweer a un'sɛŋ. Ba bàkäl anà an'kɔm anà nköl.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.

44Mbuur kun'yälà, kapɛ idiim ki: « Mbuur wanswà in'kàböbà mɛ, mbuur wa nde awun. Lun'kör, lun'syen unsà ikyɛɛŋ. »Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Pa kàyàkɔlà nde, nde kàsin apà Yɛsu, waa kàtɛn a nde naa: « Un'lɔɔŋ! » Waa kun'böbà.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Apan bumwɛy bun'tɛ mpi, waa bun'kör.Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47Umwɛy uboo a baar bàkäl paa, kàtwey kɔm, waa kàkäm un'syääl a Mfum a angaŋ, waa kun'tsül tsü.And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Yɛsu kàtɛn a ba naa: « Nkye mɛ in'wà un'dwää baar waa bɛ làyi anà an'kɔm anà nköl ntɔn mukan'kɔr?Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Mɛ kàkäl anà bɛ u ndwà a Nzam ilä byanswà mulɔŋ, bɛ làsan'kɔr anki. Wɛɛ ayi yan'yà ntɔn Ndaa Aŋàsɔn ikwe. »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.”

50Apan ba banswà bàsun'wɛy, waa bàtiin.Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51Mwan baal mwɛy wàŋàbwaar làpye làmwɛy mpɛl waa kàyun'labà. Waa bun'kör,One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52wɛɛ nde kàsàpiy làpye alan, waa kàtiin wànsàpɔl.but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53Ba bàsyen Yɛsu akà mfum a angaŋ, ikal bàköŋ amfum a angaŋ bànswà, andweer anà alɔɔŋ a in'kɔɔn.They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54Petɔlà kàyilabà Yɛsu ukwel tii uboo a làpaŋ, u làbay a ndwà a mfum a angaŋ. Nde kàbwaay anà aŋità muywar mbaa.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.

55Kyekà andweer a angaŋ anà Làbay a nsaŋ a kölàköl bàkäl muleŋ imbäl a loor ntɔn Yɛsu ntɔn bun'dwä, wɛɛ ba kya bàmɛnà anki.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

56Ntɔn bàmbɔɔn bàtɛɛ imbäl a loor ntɔn nde, wɛɛ bya byàkyeena anki balàbal.For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

57Baar amwɛy waa bàyàmbarà, waa bàyataa loor ntɔn nde naa:Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:

58« Bi kàwem nde wàmutɛn naa: "Mɛ in'yàbwaab ndwà a Nzam bàtöŋ yi kàn'kɔɔ a baar, wɛɛ ungö a ilä itär mɛ in'yàtɔŋ yàsin mpa bàkyer kan'kɔɔ a baar." »“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

59Wɛɛ, itàkal abà, imbäl aba kyàkwe anki balàbal.But even their testimony was inconsistent.

60Apan Mfum a angaŋ kàmbarà nde uboo a nköŋ, nde kàfuul Yɛsu naa: « Nkye ngye afuur anki akà undiir mwɛy unsà imbäl bàtaa baar bà ntɔn ngye? »So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

61Wɛɛ Yɛsu kàkäl akul, waa mpa kàfuur akà ikikye. Mfum a angaŋ kun'fuul mbalà asin: « Nkye ngye awà Klistɔ, Mwan a Nzam aŋàsaak? »But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62Yɛsu waa kàfuur naa: « Mɛ in'wà nde, bɛ làsàman Mwan a mbuur waŋàbwaay u kɔɔ ibaal a Ŋangwal, wàmuyà uboo in'böŋ a du. »“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.”

63Apan, Mfum a angaŋ kàkaam ipfɛy ande, waa kàtɛn naa: « Bi ambäl nkye ifàkyer abà!At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

64Bɛ lan'wem mbɛɛy. Bɛ lan'tɛn aben? » Ba banswà bun'tsüül mbar a ukwà.You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

65Bamwɛy uboo a ba bun'tsüülà an'te, bun'fwee ntabwey, bun'kämà iki, waa bàtɛɛnà a nde naa: « Tà ngɔɔm! » Aseey waa bun'yab a mbar.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.

66Petɔlà kàkäl u ngyɛl uboo a làpaŋ umpal kàyi un'syääl mwɛy wun'kaar wà mfum a angaŋ,While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67nde kàmɛn Petɔlà wàmuywar mbaa, nde kun'syebà, waa kàtɛn a nde naa: « Ngye sye, ngye kàkäl anà Yɛsu un'nsi Nasàlɛr. »and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68Wɛɛ nde kàkyer atɔn, waa kàtɛn naa: « Mɛ in'yöb anki. Mɛ in'yöb anki naa ngye nkye akwen mutɛn. » Ungö, waa kàtoo u nsà mukyà ikal bàfabilà. Apan nkɔɔ waa kàbel. 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.

69Un'syääl wun'kaar kun'mɛn nde, waa kàfàtɛn a baar bàkäl paa naa: « Mbuur wà, wà umwɛy uboo a ba! »There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70Wɛɛ nde waa kàfàtɔn. Ungö apan, baar bàkäl paa bàfàtɛn a Petɔlà naa: « Ndandaa, ngye awà umwɛy uboo a ba, ntɔn ngye, ngye awà un'nsi Ngalilɛ. »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.”

71Wɛɛ nde kàsɛmà mudyà kyän anà musà in'küül: « Mɛ un'yöb anki mbuur lan'saamà bɛ. »But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72Utaaŋ nsil alan, nkɔɔ mwɛy waa kàbel u mbalà yàyweel, apan Petɔlà kàyɔbà ndaa kun'kyään Yɛsu: « Kusà nkɔɔ mutàbel mbalà yweel, ngye ayan'tɔn mbalà tär. » Apan, nde kàtoo u ntiin, waa kàlel.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.
