Matthew 27 (YOM)

1Buna buisi bukia, bapfumu zioso zi banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba Bayuda bakutakana ayi bawizana mu tomba diluaku di bamvondila Yesu.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Bankanga minsinga, bannata ayi banyekula mu mioko mi nyadi Pilatu.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Yuda, mutu wuyekula Yesu bu kamona ti bazengila Yesu nkanu wu lufua, wumona phasi mu ntima ; diawu wuyenda vutula makumatatu ma zimbongo zi bisengo kuidi bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi kuidi bakulutu ba Bayuda.When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

4Mbadi wuba kamba : —Mbeni vola masumu bila ndiekudi mutu wukambu vanga kadi kiasa. Bawu bamvutudila : —Momo masi tutala ko ! Matedi kuaku !“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Buna wusia loza zimbongo beni vana tsi, muna Nzo Nzambi, wubotuka ayi wuyenda kidengidika.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Bapfumu banganga Nzambi zitota zimbongo beni ayi zituba ti : —Tuisi ko minsua mu tula zimbongo ziphila yayi mu kesi yi makaba ma Nzo Nzambi bila ziawu zidi zimbongo zi menga.The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

7Buna bamana wizana, basumba tsola mu zimbongo beni muingi bazikilanga banzenza. Tsola beni yiba yi mutu wumosi wuba bumbanga zinzungu zituma.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Diawu nate buabu tsola beni yintedolongo : “Tsola yi menga”.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Buawu bobo budedikinina mambu mabikula mbikudi Yelemi ti : Babonga makumatatu ma zimbongo zi bisengo, yawu thalu yizenga bana ba Iseli mu diambu diandiThen what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

10Ayi ziawu basumbila tsola yi mutu wumbumbanga zinzungu zituma banga bobo Pfumu kathumina.and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Buna Yesu wutelama va ntuala nyadi, ayi niandi wunyuvula : —Ngeyo widi ntinu Bayuda e ? Yesu wumvutudila : —Nyinga ! Yidi banga bu tubidi.Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Vayi thangu bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba Bayuda bu bayiza kumfunda, niandi kasia vutula kadi diambu ko.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Pilatu wunyuvula : —Wulembo wi kuaku mambu momo balembo kufundila e ?Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Vayi Yesu kadi diambu dimosi kasia vutula ko. Diawu nyadi kasiminina buwombo.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Kifu kiba yawu, mu thangu nyengo, nyadi, wuba totulanga mutu wumosi wunloko, wowo wuba nlombongo kuidi batu.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Vayi mu thangu yina, mutu wumosi wuyenda tsangu, wuba mu nloko dizina diandi Balabasi.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Nkangu bu wukutakana, Pilatu wuba yuvula : —A nani lutidi ndiluyekudila, Balabasi voti Yesu wuba ntedilanga Klisto e ?So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18Bila wuzaba kuandi ti mu diambu di kikhenene banyekudila Yesu.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Mu thangu Pilatu kavuanda va kundu ki kizuzi ku tilibinadu, nketoꞌandi wumfidisila thumu yayi : —Kadi kota mambu ma mutu wowo wu busonga bila mu builu buabu phasi mbueni, mu ndozi, mu diambu diandi !While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

20Vayi bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba Bayuda beka sindisila nkangu wu batu muingi batuba ti bayekula Balabasi vayi bavonda Yesu.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Buna nyadi wuba yuvula diaka : —A nani lutidi ndiluyekudila muna badi bawu buadi e ? Batuba : —Balabasi !“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Pilatu wuba yuvula : —A vayi mbi phangila Yesu, wubeti tedilanga Klisto e ? Bawu boso bavutula : —Wumbanda va dikulusi !“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Pilatu wuyuvula : —Diambu mbi dimbimbi kavengi e ? Vayi baluta yamikina ngolu : —Wumbanda va dikulusi !“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Pilatu bu kamona ti kalendi buela vanga kadi diambu dimosi ko ayi divunzi ditona, wubonga nlangu ; wusukula mioko va ntuala batu boso ayi wukamba : —Ndisi ko bila mu menga ma mutu wawu. Vayi beno veka matedi !When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

25Batu boso bavutula : —Bika menga mandi mabua va beto ayi va bana beto !All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Pilatu wubayekudila Balabasi. Bu kamana betisa Yesu bikoti, wunyekula mu mioko miawu muingi bambanda va dikulusi.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Masodi ma nyadi makotisa Yesu ku khati nzo ayi makutikisa dikabu di masodi mu kunzungidila.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Bamvula minledi miandi ayi bamvuika yunga ki mbuaki.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Bavanga budu ki kipfumu ki zitsendi, bamvuika kiawu ku ntu ; bansimbisa nti va koko kuandi ku lubakala, bamfukimina, bansekinina ayi batuba : —Mboti e, Ntinu wu Bayuda !And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30Banlobudila madita bosi babonga nti, wawu baba kunzubanga ku ntu.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Buna bamanisa kunsekinina, bamvula yunga beni ; bamvuika minledi miandi bosi bannata muingi bambanda va dikulusi.After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

32Bu baba totuka, badengana mutu wumosi mu nzila, dizina diandi Simoni wuba muisi Silene, bankuika kanata dikulusi.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Batula ku buangu kimosi baba ntedilanga ngolongota. Tsundu Ngolongota : “Buangu ki mvesi wu ntu”,And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34kuna bamvanina vinu kisobakana ayi kiti ki ndudi muingi kanua. Buna kabimba, wumanga ku kinua.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Buna bamana ku mbanda va dikulusi, babula tsombo mu diambu di kabana minledi miandi.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Mbadi bavuanda kuna mu kunsunga.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Batula muna dikulusi tini ki dibaya vana mbata ntuꞌandi, musonama bila kioki banzengila nkanu : “Niandi niawu Yesu, ntinu wu Bayuda”.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Bidovula biodi bibandu va dikulusi va kimosi ayi Yesu, wumosi ku koko ku lubakala, wunkaka ku koko ku lumoso.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Batu bobo baba mviokila vana, baba kumfinga, baba nikunanga mintuAnd those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40ayi baba nyoluka : —E ! Ngeyo mutu wuntiolumunanga Nzo Nzambi ayi kuyitungila diaka mu bilumbu bitatu ; wukivukisa ngeyo veka. Enati widi Muana Nzambi, kuluka va Dikulusi !and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41Bapfumu banganga Nzambi, minlongi mi Mina ayi bakulutu ba Bayuda mamvawu bansekinina ayi bakamba :In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42—A ! Niandi wuvukisidi batu bankaka vayi niandi veka kalendi kukivukisa ko e ! Enati niandi widi ntinu Iseli, kakulumuka va dikulusi muingi tunkikinina.“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

43Niandi diana diandi didi mu Nzambi, bika kamvukisa buabu enati weta kunzola ; bila niandi wuba ntubanga : “Ndidi Muana Nzambi.”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Bidovula biobi bibandu yandi va kimosi va dikulusi mamvawu bobo baba kumfingila.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Tona thangu midi nate thangu yintatu mu masika, ntoto wumvimba wuba mu tombi kinkobo.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Nduka-nduka mu thangu yintatu Yesu wuyamikina mu ndinga yingolo : —Eli, Eli, Lama sabakatani e ? Bu dinsundula : Nzambi ama ! Nzambi ama ! Bila mbi wundiekudidi e ?About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

47Batu bankaka, bobo batelama vana bu bawa bobo, batuba : —Eli kantela.When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Wumosi mu bawu, wuzawula, wuyenda bonga eponzi, wukifulusa mu vnu kidi ngami ; wukisomika va tsongi nti bosi wumvana muingi kanua.One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

49Vayi bankaka bakamba : —Bika tutala kani Eli weka kuiza mvukisa.But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Yesu wubuela yamikina diaka mu ndinga yingolo ; buna wuzenga vumunu.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Muna thangu beni kaka lido yi Nzo Nzambi yikanzuka mu ndambu zizole tona kuna yilu nate ku tsi. Ntoto wunikuka, matadi mabasuka,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52biziami bizibuka, batu banlongo bawombo bafua bafuluka.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Batotuka mu biziami. Yesu bu kafuluka buna bakota mu divula dinlongo. Batu bawombo baba mona kuna.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Pfumu yi masodi ma Loma ayi momo maba yandi mu sunga Yesu bu bamona phila ntoto wunikukina ayi mambu moso momo phila mavangimina, bamona boma yiwombo ayi batuba : —Bukiedika kuandi ti mutu wowo bedi Muana Nzambi !When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

55Baketo bawombo baba vana, thama baba ntadila. Bawu baba nlandakananga Yesu tona ku Ngalili mu diambu bansadila.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Mu bawu muba : Maliya muisi Mangadala, Maliya ngudi yi Zaki ayi Zozefi ayi ngudi yi bana ba Zebede.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Va thangu masika, mutu wumosi wu kimvuama, muisi Alimate, dizina diandi Zozefi, wuba nlonguki wu Yesu,When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58wuyenda lomba nitu yi Yesu kuidi Pilatu. Buna Pilatu wuvana minsua muingi bamvana yawu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Zozefi wubonga nitu, wuyizinga mu dilasola di lino yi vedila.So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60Wuyitula mu dibumbi diandi dimona, disokolo mu ditadi. Wunengumuna ditadi dimosi dinneni va muelo wu dibumbi. Bosi wuyenda kuandi.and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

61Maliya muisi Mangadala ayi Maliya mankaka baba bavuanda ku ndambu yinkaka yitalini ayi dibumbi.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Lumbu ki khubumunu bu kivioka, mu lumbu kilanda, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bayenda kuidi Pilatu.The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63Bankamba : —A pfumu ! Tulembo tebuka moyo ti mutu wowo wu luvunu bu kabedi moyo wubedi tubanga ti : “Ndiela fuluka bilumbu bitatu bu biela vioka :”“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Diawu bulutidi mboti wuvana minsua basunga dibumbi nate bilumbu bitatu bivioka muingi minlonguki miandi mibika kuenda yibi nitu andi bila nganu miela kamba batu ti wufulukidi mu bafua. Buna luvunu beni luela viatuka tezo ayi viokila lolo lutheti mu mbimbi.So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”

65Pilatu wuba vutudila : —Bonganu masodi, yendanu, lusunga ziami boso bu luzodidi.“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Bayenda, bazibika bumboti dibumbi mu tula dimbu mu ditadi, ayi babika masodi.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
