Matthew 26 (YOM)

1Yesu bu kamana tuba mambu mama, wukamba minlonguki miandi :When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

2—Luzebi ti bilumbu biodi bisiedi muingi nyengo Pasika wutona ; buna bosi Muana Mutu wela yekolo mu vondo va dikulusi !“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Buna bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba batu bakutakana ku nzo Kayife, pfumu yi banganga Nzambi ;At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4bawizana buevi bafueti kangila Yesu mu luvunu muingi bamvonda.and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

5Vayi batuba : —Tubika vanga buawu mu thangu yi nyengo muingi khindu yibika bua mu batu.“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6Yesu bu kaba ku Betani ku nzo Simoni, mutu wowo wuba kimbevo ki buazi,While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7nketo wumosi wuyiza ayi bungu ki malasi ma thalu, wudukula mawu ku ntu wu Yesu mu thangu kaba va meza.a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

8Vayi minlonguki mifuema bu mimona bobo ayi mituba : —Bila mbi mbebosolo yi phila yoyo e ?When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

9Nganu mboti mu sumbisa malasi beni mu thalu yiwombo ayi vana zimbongo beni kuidi minsukami.This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

10Yesu bu kazaba mayindu mawu, wuba kamba : —A mbi lulembo monisina nketo wawu phasi e ? Diambu kaphangidi didi diambu dimboti.Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

11Minsukami mikala kuandi yeno mu zithangu zioso, vayi minu ndisi kuiza kalanga yeno ko.The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

12Enati nketo wawu wundukudidi malasi mama mu nituꞌama, didi mu diambu di kubika nzikuluꞌama.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

13Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti muamo muela longo Nsamu Wumboti wawu va nza yimvimba, diambu divengi nketo wawu diela yolokolongo mu kuntebukilanga moyo.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.”

14Bosi wumosi mu kumi mimvuala miandi miodi, dizina diandi Yuda Isikalioti, wuyenda kuidi bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi,Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15wuba yuvula : —Mbi lulenda kuphana enati ndilusumbisidi Yesu e ? Buna bantangila makumatatu ma bivanzi.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.

16Tona muna thangu beni Yuda wutomba diluaku di kuba yekudila Yesu.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

17Mu lumbu kitheti ki nyengo wu mapha makambu tulu luvi minlonguki miyiza kuidi Yesu ayi minyuvula : —A kuevi tidi tuenda kubikila ndiwulu yi Pasika e ?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?”

18Wuba vutudila : —Yendanu ku divula kuidi kingandi, buna lunkamba : “Nlongi kakembi : thanguꞌama yifikimini, ku nzoꞌaku ndindila Pasika ayi minlonguki miama.”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.’”

19Minlonguki mivanga phila yi kambila Yesu. Mikubika Pasika.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20Mu thangu masika, Yesu wuvuanda va meza ayi kumi mimvuala miandi miodi.When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21Mu thangu baba ndia, Yesu wuba kamba : —Bukiedika ndikulukamba : buna luididi vava mutu wumosi mu beno maka phakusa !And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22Baboso beka mona kiadi, wumosi-wumosi weka kunyuvula : —Pfumu, buna minu e ?They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Yesu wuba vutudila : —Mutu wowo wumbuika koko kuandi va kimosi ayi minu mu dilonga buna niandi wukuphakusa.Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24Bila Muana Mutu wulembo yendi banga busonimina mu Masonoko mu diambu diandi. Vayi nga mabienga kuidi mutu wowo wumvakusa ! Nganu bufueni kuidi mutu beni mu kambu kuandi butuka !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.”

25Yuda, mutu wowo wukumvakusa, wuyuvula : —A Nlongi ! Bati minu e ! Bosi Yesu wumvutudila : —Nyinga, ngeyo tubidi buawu.Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

26Thangu baba ndia, Yesu wubonga dipha, wuvutula matondo, wudibukuna bosi wuvana minlonguki miandi, wuba kamba : —Bonganu ludia, bila yayi yawu nituꞌama !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.”

27Bosi wubonga mbungu, wuvutula matondo, wuba vana ayi wutuba : —Bika lunuanu beno bosoThen He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28bila mama mawu menga mama ma Nguizani madukulu mu diambu di ndemvokolo yi masumu ma batu bawombo.This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29Vayi ndikulukamba, kadi khumbu ndiela buela nua vinu tona buabu nate lumbu kioki ndiela nua vinu kimona va kimosi ayi beno mu Kipfumu ki Dise diama.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.”

30Buna bayimbila nkunga. Bosi bayenda ku mongo minti mi olive.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Buna Yesu wuba kamba ti : —Va builu buabu beno boso ma lumana zimbisa minu mu diambu diama. Bila disonama : Ndiela vonda nsungi mamemi, mamemi ma nkangu mela mana tiakana.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.’

32Vayi bu ndiela fuluka, ndiela kulutuamina ku Ngalili !But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Piela wunkamba : —A Pfumu ! Ka diambu ko baboso bela zimbisa minu mu diambu diaku, vayi minu ndilendi ko !Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34Yesu wuvutula : —Tala, bukiedika ndikukamba : buabu kuandi va builu, simbu tsusu yikokula, buna zikhumbu zitatu si wuthunukina.“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35Piela wunkamba : —Ka diambu ko fua ndifua yaku vayi ndilendi kutunuka ko ! Minlonguki mioso phila yimosi mitubila.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

36Yesu wuyenda ayi minlonguki miandi ku buangu bantedilanga Ngetesemani. Wuba kamba : —Lukala vava, minu bu ndiedi ku sambila kuna !Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Wunata Piela ayi bana buadi ba Zebede. Wutona mona kiadi ayi ntima phasi.He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38Bosi wuba kamba : —Muelꞌama weka kiaki nate nduka mu fua. Lusiala vava vayi luleka nkielo va kimosi ayi minu.Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Niandi wuyenda thama fioti, wufukama ayi wusambila. —A Dise diama ! Enati baka bubela, bika kopo yayi yithatukila. Vayi bika bobo nzodidi vayi bobo ngeyo zodidi.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.”

40Bu kavutuka vaba minlonguki, wuyiza babata balembo leki tulu. Buna wukamba Piela : —Buna lulendi nunga mu sambila yama va kimosi banza mu thangu yimosi ko e ?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.

41Luleka nkielo ayi lusambila muingi luedi bua mu phukumunu. Bila pheve yidi ayi luzolo lu mboti vayi nitu yidi yilebakana.“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42Wuyenda diaka mu khumbu yinzole ayi wusambila : —A Dise diama ! Enati kadi baka bubela ti kopo yayi yithatukila, vayi enati mfueti kuyinua buna bika luzolo luaku luvangama !A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43Bu kavutuka diaka ; wuyiza buela bata buna balekidi, bila meso matulu maba yawu.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44Buna wusia babika ayi wuyenda sambila mu khumbu yintatu, ayi mambu mo mawu katuba.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45Bu kavutuka vaba minlonguki ; buna wuba kamba : —Lukidi leki ayi lulembo vundi e ? Thangu yifikimini ayi Muana Mutu yekolo mu mioko mi bankua masumu.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.

46Telamanu, tuendanu Tala mutu wowo wukuphakula fikimini.Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

47Buna kamanisini ko yoluka, tala Yuda, wumosi mu kumi mimvuala miodi, wuyiza va kimosi ayi nkangu wu batu banata bisabala ayi zimbondo zi minti, batumu kuidi bapfumu zinganga Nzambi ayi kuidi bakulutu ba Bayuda.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.

48Mutu wowo wuvakula Yesu, wuba vana dimbu kiaki : —Woso mutu ndikuiza fifi besi, buna niandi lufueti kanga.Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49Buna niandi wufikama vaba Yesu ayi wutuba : —Mboti nlongi. Bosi wumfifa besi.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50Yesu wunkamba : —A nkundi ama ! Vanga diwizidi ! Bosi bankaka bafikama, babuila Yesu ayi bankanga.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

51Vayi mutu wumosi mu bobo baba ayi Yesu wunonuna koko kuandi, wutotula sabala kiandi, wuzuba kisadi ki Pfumu yi banganga Nzambi ayi wunzenga dikutu.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Vayi Yesu wunkamba : —Vutula sabala kiaku va buangu kiandi bila batu bantotulanga sabala, mu sabala bela vondolo.“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53Ngeyo wumbanza ti ndilendi lomba kuidi Dise diama ayi vana vawu niandi kalendi ko kumfidisila zimbasi viokila kumi ayi lengio biodi ko e ?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?

54Vayi buna buevi bulenda dedikinina mambu masonama mu Minkanda meti tuba ti buawu bobo mambu beni mafueti vangimina e ?But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

55Muna thangu yina Yesu wutuba kuidi nkangu wu batu : —Ndieka dovula muingi luiza khangi ayi zimbedi ayi zimbondo zi minti mu mioko ? Keti bilumbu bioso ndibedi longanga mu Nzo Nzambi vayi lusi kukhanga ko.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.

56Vayi mambu moso mama mavangimini mu diambu di dedikisa masonoko ma mimbikudi.But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

57Batu bobo bakanga Yesu, bannata kuidi Kayife, pfumu banganga Nzambi. Kuna ku kutakana minlongi mi Mina ayi bakulutu ba batu.Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

58Vayi Piela wunlandakana kuna manina nate ku luphangu lu pfumu banganga Nzambi, wukota ku khati luphangu ayi wuvuanda va kimosi ayi minsungi mu diambu kamona kani buevi bukuiza manisina mambu beni.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.

59Bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi batu boso ba lukutukunu lu minyadi batomba kimbangi ki luvunu mu diambu di Yesu muingi babaka bila ki kumvondisila.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

60Ka diambu ko bambangi ba luvunu bawombo bayiza, vayi zisia kumbaka bila ko. Ku nzimunina kuyiza batu buadi,But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

61bakamba : —Mutu wawu niandi wukamba ti : “Minu ndenda tiolumuna Nzo Nzambi ayi kuyitungila mu bilumbu bitatu !”and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

62Buna Pfumu yi banganga Nzambi wutelama, wuyuvula Yesu : —Kadi diambu wukadi vutula e ? Kimbangi mbi kioki batu baba balembo kutelimina e ?So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63Yesu kasia vutula kadi diambu ko. Pfumu banganga Nzambi wunkamba : —Ndikulomba mu dizina di Nzambi yi moyo, wutukambi ti ngeyo klisto, Muana Nzambi.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.”

64Yesu wumvutudila : —Nyinga ! Banga kuandi butubidi. Buela diaka ndikulukamba : tona buabu luela mona Muana Mutu vuendi va koko ku lubakala lu mutu wowo lutidi lulendo ayi wunkuizila va matuti ma diyilu.“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.”

65Buna Pfumu banganga Nzambi wukanzuna minledi ayi wukamba : —vuezidi Nzambi ! Bila mbi tufueti buela tombila diaka bambangi ? Luwilu beno veka phila kavuezidi Nzambi.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.

66Beno buevi lumbanzila e ? Bavutula : —Fueni kuandi mu vondo !What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

67Mbadi banlobudila madita ku busu ayi banzuba zikhomi. Bankaka banzuba zimbata ayi bankamba :Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

68—A Klisto, wutubikudila ayi wutukambi nani wubetidi e ?and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

69Piela wuba wuvuanda ku nganda, mu khati luphangu, kisadi kimosi ki nketo kiyiza ayi kinkamba : —Mamvaku bedingi ayi Yesu, muisi Ngalili !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.

70Vayi Piela wutunuka kuandi va meso ma batu boso : —Ndisi zaba ko mambu momo wuntuba !But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

71Bu kaba kuenda ku ndambu muelo wu luphangu, kuna nketo wunkaka wummona ayi wukamba batu bobo baba vana : —E e beno, lutala mutu wowo bedingi ayi Yesu muisi Nazaleti !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.”

72Piela wubuela tunuka diaka ayi wuleva ndefi ti : —Bukiedika ndisi zaba ko mutu wowo !And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

73Buela kala fioti batu bobo baba vana bayiza vaba Piela ayi bankamba : —Bukiedika ti ngeyo widi wumosi mu batu bobo bila thubulu aku yilembo fundi.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.”

74Piela wutona leva ndefi ayi wu kitombila tsingulu : —Ndisi zaba ko mutu wowo ! Muna thangu beni tsusu yikokudi.At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

75Buna Piela wutebukila mambu momo Yesu kakamba ti : “Simbu tsusu yinkokula, buna ngeyo si wuthunukina mu zikhumbu zitatu.” Buna wutotuka ku nganda ayi wudila buwombo.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.
