Matthew 27 (YOR)

1Ní òwúrọ̀, gbogbo àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tún padà láti gbìmọ̀ bí wọn yóò ti ṣe pa Jesu.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Lẹ́yìn èyí, wọ́n fi ẹ̀wọ̀n dè é, wọ́n sì jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ fún Pilatu tí i ṣe gómìnà.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Nígbà tí Judasi, ẹni tí ó fi í hàn, rí i wí pé a ti dá a lẹ́bi ikú, ó yí ọkàn rẹ̀ padà, ó sì káàánú nípa ohun tí ó ṣe. Ó sì mú ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà tí ó gba náà wá fún àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù.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.

4Ó wí pé, “Mo ti ṣẹ̀ nítorí tí mo ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀.” Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pẹ̀lú ìbínú pé, “Èyí kò kàn wá! Wàhálà tìrẹ ni!”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Nígbà náà ni Judasi da owó náà sílẹ̀ nínú tẹmpili. Ó jáde, ó sì lọ pokùnso.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Àwọn olórí àlùfáà sì mú owó náà. Wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa kò lè fi owó yìí sínú owó ìkójọpọ̀. Ní ìwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó lòdì sí òfin wa nítorí pé owó ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni.”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.”

7Wọ́n sì gbìmọ̀, wọ́n sì fi ra ilẹ̀ amọ̀kòkò, láti máa sin òkú àwọn àjèjì nínú rẹ̀.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Ìdí nìyìí tí à ń pe ibi ìsìnkú náà ní “Ilẹ̀ Ẹ̀jẹ̀” títí di òní.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Èyí sì jẹ́ ìmúṣẹ èyí tí a ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ láti ẹnu wòlíì Jeremiah wí pé, “Wọ́n sì mú ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà tí àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli díye lé e.Then 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,

10Wọ́n sì fi ra ilẹ̀ kan lọ́wọ́ àwọn amọ̀kòkò gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Nígbà náà ni Jesu dúró níwájú baálẹ̀ láti gba ìdájọ́. Baálẹ̀ sì béèrè pé, “Ṣe ìwọ ni ọba àwọn Júù?” Jesu dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, nítorí tí ìwọ wí i.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù fi gbogbo ẹ̀sùn wọn kàn án, Jesu kò dáhùn kan.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Nígbà náà ni Pilatu, béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jesu pé, “Àbí ìwọ kò gbọ́ ẹ̀rí tí wọn ń wí nípa rẹ ni?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Jesu kò sì tún dáhùn kan. Èyí sì ya baálẹ̀ lẹ́nu.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Ó jẹ́ àṣà gómìnà láti dá ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n Júù sílẹ̀ lọ́dọọdún, ní àsìkò àjọ̀dún ìrékọjá. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí àwọn ènìyàn bá ti fẹ́ ni.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Ní àsìkò náà ọ̀daràn paraku kan wà nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n tí à ń pè Jesu Baraba.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Bí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ti péjọ síwájú ilé Pilatu lówúrọ̀ ọjọ́ náà, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ta ni ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́ kí n dá sílẹ̀ fún yín, Baraba tàbí Jesu, ẹni tí ń jẹ́ Kristi?”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?”

18Òun ti mọ̀ pé nítorí ìlara ni wọn fi fà á lé òun lọ́wọ́.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Bí Pilatu sì ti ṣe jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ rẹ̀, ìyàwó rẹ̀ ránṣẹ́ sí i pé, “Má ṣe ní ohun kankan ṣe pẹ̀lú ọkùnrin aláìṣẹ̀ náà. Nítorí mo jìyà ohun púpọ̀ lójú àlá mi lónìí nítorí rẹ̀.”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.”

20Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù rọ àwọn ènìyàn, láti béèrè kí a dá Baraba sílẹ̀, kí a sì béèrè ikú fún Jesu.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Nígbà tí Pilatu sì tún béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èwo nínú àwọn méjèèjì yìí ni ẹ̀ ń fẹ́ kí n dá sílẹ̀ fún yín?” Àwọn ènìyàn sì kígbe padà pé, “Baraba!”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Pilatu béèrè pé, “Kí ni kí èmi ṣe sí Jesu ẹni ti a ń pè ní Kristi?” Gbogbo wọn sì tún kígbe pé, “Kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Pilatu sì béèrè pé, “Nítorí kí ni? Kí ló ṣe tí ó burú?” Wọ́n kígbe sókè pé, “Kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú! Kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Nígbà tí Pilatu sì rí i pé òun kò tún rí nǹkan kan ṣe mọ́, àti wí pé rògbòdìyàn ti ń bẹ̀rẹ̀, ó béèrè omi, ó sì wẹ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ níwájú ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ó wí pé, “Ọrùn mí mọ́ nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ ọkùnrin yìí. Ẹ̀yin fúnra yín, ẹ bojútó o!”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.”

25Gbogbo àgbájọ náà sì ké pé, “Kí ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ wà lórí wa, àti ní orí àwọn ọmọ wa!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Nígbà náà ni Pilatu dá Baraba sílẹ̀ fún wọn. Lẹ́yìn tí òun ti na Jesu tán, ó fi í lé wọn lọ́wọ́ láti mú un lọ kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ-ogun gómìnà mú Jesu lọ sí gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́ wọ́n sì kó gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ-ogun tì í.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Wọ́n tú Jesu sì ìhòhò, wọ́n sì wọ̀ ọ́ ní aṣọ òdòdó,They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29wọ́n sì hun adé ẹ̀gún. Wọ́n sì fi dé e lórí. Wọ́n sì fi ọ̀pá sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀pá ọba. Wọ́n sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, wọ́n fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà pé, “Kábíyèsí, ọba àwọn Júù!”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!”

30Wọ́n sì tu itọ́ sí i lójú àti ara, wọ́n gba ọ̀pá wọ́n sì nà án lórí.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Nígbà tí wọ́n fi ṣẹ̀sín tán, wọ́n bọ́ aṣọ ara rẹ̀. Wọ́n tún fi aṣọ tirẹ̀ wọ̀ ọ́. Wọ́n sì mú un jáde láti kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú.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.

32Bí wọ́n sì ti ń jáde, wọ́n rí ọkùnrin kan ará Kirene tí à ń pè ní Simoni. Wọ́n sì mú ọkùnrin náà ní túláàsì láti ru àgbélébùú Jesu.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Wọ́n sì jáde lọ sí àdúgbò kan tí à ń pè ní Gọlgọta (èyí tí í ṣe “Ibi Agbárí”).And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

35Lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n sì ti kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú, wọ́n dìbò láti pín aṣọ rẹ̀ láàrín ara wọn.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Nígbà náà ni wọ́n jókòó yí i ká. Wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ọ níbẹ̀.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Ní òkè orí rẹ̀, wọ́n kọ ohun kan tí ó kà báyìí pé: “Èyí ni Jesu, Ọba àwọn Júù.” síbẹ̀.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Wọ́n kan àwọn olè méjì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ní òwúrọ̀ náà. Ọ̀kan ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún, àti èkejì ní ọwọ́ òsì rẹ̀.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Àwọn tí ń kọjá lọ sì ń bú u. Wọ́n sì ń mi orí wọn pé:And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40“Ìwọ tí yóò wó tẹmpili, ìwọ tí yóò sì tún un mọ ní ọjọ́ kẹta.

If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41Bákan náà àwọn olórí àlùfáà pẹ̀lú àwọn akọ̀wé òfin àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù sì fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

43Ó gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́, jẹ́ kí Ọlọ́run gbà á là ní ìsinsin yìí tí òun bá fẹ́ ẹ. Ǹjẹ́ òun kò wí pé, èmi ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run?”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Bákan náà, àwọn olè tí a kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Láti wákàtí kẹfà ni òkùnkùn fi ṣú bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ títí dé wákàtí kẹsànán ọjọ́.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Níwọ̀n wákàtí kẹsànán ní Jesu sì kígbe ní ohùn rara wí pé, “Eli, Eli, lama sabakitani” (ní èdè Heberu). Ìtumọ̀ èyí tí í ṣe, “Ọlọ́run mi, Ọlọ́run mi, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀?”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?”

47Ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kò yé díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ẹni tí ń wòran, nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n wí pé ọkùnrin yìí ń pe Elijah.When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà, ọ̀kan nínú wọn sáré, ó mú kànìnkànìn, ó tẹ̀ ẹ́ bọ inú ọtí kíkan. Ó fi lé orí ọ̀pá, ó gbé e sókè láti fi fún un mu.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.

49Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìyókù wí pé, “Ẹ fi í sílẹ̀. Ẹ jẹ́ kí a wò ó bóyá Elijah yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti gbà á là.”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Nígbà tí Jesu sì kígbe ní ohùn rara lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, ó jọ̀wọ́ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, ó sì kú.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Lójúkan náà aṣọ ìkélé tẹmpili fàya, láti òkè dé ìsàlẹ̀. Ilẹ̀ sì mì tìtì. Àwọn àpáta sì sán.At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52Àwọn isà òkú sì ṣí sílẹ̀. Ọ̀pọ̀ òkú àwọn ẹni mímọ́ tí ó ti sùn sì tún jíǹde.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

55Ọ̀pọ̀ obìnrin tí ó wá láti Galili pẹ̀lú Jesu láti tọ́jú rẹ̀ wọn ń wò ó láti òkèèrè.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

61Maria Magdalene àti Maria kejì wà níbẹ̀, wọn jókòó òdìkejì ibojì náà.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Lọ́jọ́ kejì tí ó tẹ̀lé ọjọ́ ìpalẹ̀mọ́ àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi lọ sọ́dọ̀ Pilatu.The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63Wọ́n sọ fún un pé, “Alàgbà àwa rántí pé ẹlẹ́tàn n nì wí nígbà tí ó wà láyé pé, ‘Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ kẹta èmi yóò tún jí dìde.’“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

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 sì pàṣẹ pé, “Ẹ lo àwọn olùṣọ́ yín kí wọn dáàbò bo ibojì náà bí ẹ bá ti fẹ́.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Nítorí náà wọ́n lọ. Wọ́n sì ṣé òkúta ibojì náà dáradára. Wọ́n sì fi àwọn olùṣọ́ sí ibẹ̀ láti dáàbò bò ó.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
