Matthew 26 (ZAJP)

1Yesu viyamambukize kufundiza mbuli zino zose, kawalongela wanahina zake,When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

2“Movitanga kamba gahabita mazua mabili lowa Lusona lwa Pasaka, na Mwana wa Munhu kogogigwa giladi yawambigwe mumsalaba.”“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Abaho, wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wavyele wa wanhu waiting'hana mding'anda da kindewa da Mkulu wa Wakulu wose wa Nhambiko, yokemigwa Kayafa.At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4Weka zundo mkuzahila nzila ya uzenzeleganye ya kumgoga Yesu giladi wamkome.and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

5Walonga, “Sambitutende mbuli ino mkipigiti cha lusona giladi sambikilawilile kiyahiyahi mwa wanhu.”“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6Yesu kakala Betania kung'anda ya Simoni ayo yakalile na utamu wa dikulu.While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7Kipigiti Yesu viyakalile yoja hana imeza, keza mtwanzi imwe, yakalile na nyhupa ya alabasta ili na mavuta ga kunung'hila ga hela bwando, kamcholela Yesu kamwitila mpala jake.a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

8Wanahina viwawene gano, wona lusango, walonga, “Ubananzi uno wa choni?When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

9Mavuta gano gahaguzigwe na hela bwando, abaho, zihela wahagweleligwe wakumbulu!”This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

10Ila Yesu viyazitangile ngelegeza zao, kawalongela, “Habali mumgaza mtwanzi ino? Kanhendela kinhu kinogile ng'hani.Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

11Wakumbulu mokala nao mazua gose, ila nie sikala na mweye mazua gose.The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

12Viyanitile mavuta gano mulukuli lwangu, kanisasala na mazisi.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

13Nowalongela ikweli, hanhu hohose hondaupetigwe Usenga uno Unogile muulumwengu wose, kija chayatendile mtwanzi ino cholongwa mkumkumbukila heyo.”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.”

14Abaho, imwe wa wanahina longo dimwe na wabili, yakemigwe Yuda Isikalioti, kachola ha wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambikoThen one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15kawauza, “Monigwelela choni kamba nihamgela Yesu mmakono genu?” Avo wamgwelela vidanga malongo madatu va hela.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.

16Kulawa haja Yuda kasonga kuzahila nzila ya kumgela mmakono gao.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

17Muna dizua da mwanduso wa Lusona lwa Mikate Ilibule Mela, wanahina wamcholela Yesu wamuuza, “Kwahi kuulonda tukakutandile mandia ga Pasaka?”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?”

18Yesu kawalongela, “Gendeni mdiwambo, mom'vika munhu, abaho, mulongeleni, ‘Mkulufunzi kolonga, “Kipigiti kiyakisagule Mulungu sama yangu nie kikwenhuka. Nie na wanahina zangu toja mandia ga Pasaka mng'anda yako.” ’ ”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.’”

19Wanahina watenda kamba Yesu viyawalagize, abaho, wagatanda mandia ga Pasaka.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20Viivikile ichungulo, Yesu kakala hana imeza hamoja na wanahina zake longo dimwe na wabili.When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21Viwakalile woja, Yesu kalonga, “Nowalongela ikweli, imwe mmwanza wenu konihonza.”And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22Wanahina wona giogio, na wasonga kumuuza imweimwe, “Nie, Mndewa?”They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Yesu kawedika, “Ayo yozanhika mkate mkia hamoja na nie iyo yondayanihonze.Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24Mwana wa Munhu kodanganhika kamba Nyandiko Zing'alile vuzimulonga. Ila kojona munhu ija yondayamuhonze Mwana wa Munhu! Vihanogile munhu hiyo sambiyaleligwe!”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, yakalile yolonda kumuhonza, kamuuza, “Nie, Mkulufunzi?” Yesu kamwidika, “Gweye kulonga vino.”Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

26Viwakalile woja, Yesu kasola mkate, kaumoteza, abaho, kaumogola, kawagwelela wanahina zake, kalonga, “Soleni mje, kwavija uno uwo lukuli lwangu.”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.”

27Abaho kasola kikasi, kalonga hewela, kawagwelela wanahina zake, kalonga, “Ing'weni, mose,Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28kwavija uno uwo mulopa wangu uli usindila wa lagano da Mulungu na wanhu zake, witike sama ya wanhu bwando giladi wageligwe kumgongo vilozo vao.This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29Nowalongela, sing'wa kabili mulelo uno wa zabibu mbaka zua dija vondaniung'we wa sambi hamoja na mweye Muundewa wa Tataangu.”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.”

30Viweshile kwimba, wachola hana Ikigongo cha Mizaituni.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Abaho, Yesu kawalongela, “Kilo ya lelo, mweye mose mong'himbila, kamba viyandikigwe Mnyandiko Zing'alile, ‘Nomtoa imchunga, na didale da ng'hondolo dopwililika.’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.’

32Ila nihazuka, nowalongola kuchola Galilaya.”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Petulo kalonga, “Hata kamba wose wahakukimbila, nie sikukimbila bule!”Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34Yesu kamulongela Petulo, “Nokulongela ikweli, kilo ya lelo, nzogolo yang'hali hanakwika, konibela mianza midatu.”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35Petulo kamulongela, “Hata kamba kudanganhika, nidanganhike hamoja na gweye! Sikubela bule!” Na wanahina wose wasigale walonga vivo.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

36Abaho, Yesu kachola hamoja na wanahina zake hanhu hakemigwe Getisemane, kawalongela, “Kaleni hano, nie nichole haja kutambika.”Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Kawasola Petulo na waja iwana wabili wa Zebedayo, kasonga kona giogio na kugazika.He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38Abaho, kawalongela, “Moyo wangu una giogio ng'hani behi na kudanganhika. Kaleni hano mgonelele hamoja na nie.”Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Kachola hamwande kidogo, katambalala kingubanguba, katambika, yolonga, “Tataangu, vihadahika, kikasi kino cha migayo kinisegele! Ila sio kamba vinilonda nie, ila kamba vuulonda gweye.”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.”

40Abaho, kawabwelela waja iwanahina, kawavika wawasa. Kamuuza Petulo, “Mulemelwa kugonelela hamoja na nie hata saa dimwe?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.

41Goneleleni, mtambike, giladi sambimwingile mkugezigwa. Kwavija loho yolonda, ila lukuli lutepweta.”“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42Yesu kachola mwanza wa ikabili, katambika, yolonga, “Tataangu, kamba havidahika kikasi kino cha migayo kinisegele ila mbaka niking'wele, gaja guulonda gatendeke.”A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43Viyabweleganye mwanza uyagwe, kawavika wawasa, kwavija meso gao gakala na utulo.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44Avo kawaleka, kachola kutambika mwanza wa ikadatu, yolonga mbuli zizija.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45Abaho, kawabwelela wanahina kawalongela, “Mng'hali wasa na kuhumula? Saa ivika ya Mwana wa Munhu kugeligwa mmakono ga wanhu wene vilozo.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.

46Lamukeni, tuchole! Loleni, munhu yonihonza ka habehi!”Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

47Yesu viyakalile yang'hali yolonga, Yuda, imwe wa iwanahina longo dimwe na wabili, keza. Kailongoza hamoja na dale kulu da wanhu wapapile mizele na mimbwego. Wakala watumigwe na wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wavyele wa wanhu.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.

48Imunhu yomuhonza kawagwelela utango, kawalongela, “Ija yondanimnonele, iyo heyo. Mgogeni!”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49Baho Yuda kamcholela Yesu, kalonga, “Nokulamsa, Mkulufunzi!” Abaho, kamnonela.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50Yesu kamulongela, “Mbwiga, tenda chuuwinzile!” Abaho, waja iwanhu weza, wamgoga Yesu na kumfunga.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

51Imwe wa waja wakalile na Yesu kasomola zele jake na kumkanha gwiti nyakadala wa Mkulu wa Wakulu wose wa Nhambiko.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Yesu kamulongela, “Bweza zele jako muna iyala yake, kwavija wose wotamanila zele wodanganhika na zele.“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53Mokwagiza kamba sidaha kumulongela Tataangu yanigalile sambisambi madale gabanza longo dimwe na mabili ga wasenga zake wa kuulanga?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?

54Ila zovikila vilihi Nyandiko Zing'alile zilonga kamba vino vivo vilondigwa ilawilile?”But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

55Kipigiti kikija Yesu kadilongela didale da wanhu, “Mwiza na mizele na mimbwego kunigoga kamba nie na m'bokonyi? Mazua gose nikala nifundiza kuna Ing'anda ya Mulungu, na mweye hamunigogile.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.

56Ila gano gose galawilila, giladi Nyandiko Zing'alile za wahokozi zivikile.” Abaho, wanahina wose wamuleka, wakimbila.But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

57Waja wamgogile Yesu wamsola wamgala ha Kayafa, Mkulu wa Wakulu wose wa Nhambiko, kuwaiting'hane wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na wavyele wa wanhu.Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

58Petulo kamkoleleza kutalitali mbaka kudikonhi da ing'anda ya Mkulu wa Wakulu wose wa Nhambiko. Kengila na kukala hasi hamoja na wemilizi giladi yachone chondakilawilile.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.

59Wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko hamoja na Ikitala chose Kikulu cha Isi ya Wayahudi wazahila usindila wa uvwizi giladi wamkome Yesu.Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

60Walawilila wasindila bwando wa uvwizi, ila hawapatile mbuli yoyose. Hakimambukizo, walawilila wanhu wabiliBut they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

61walonga, “Munhu ino kalonga, ‘Nie nodaha kuibomola Ng'anda ya Mulungu na kuizenga mmazua madatu.’ ”and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

62Mkulu wa Wakulu wose wa Nhambiko kenuka kamulongela Yesu, “Kwabule kinhu cha kwidika? Usindila waki uno woolava wanhu wano wokutagusa gweye?”So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63Ila Yesu kanyamala. Abaho Mkulu wa Wakulu wose wa Nhambiko kamuuza, “Nokuduiza ha Mulungu yali mgima, tulongele kamba gweye iyo Kilisto, Mwana wa Mulungu.”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 kamwidika kalonga, “Gweye kulonga vino. Ila nowalongela, kulawa kipigiti kino monyona nie Mwana wa Munhu nikalile ng'ambu ya ukulume ya Ukulu, nikwiza muna gamawingu ga kuulanga!”“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.”

65Abaho, Mkulu wa Wakulu wose wa Nhambiko kadega vivalo vake kalonga, “Kafukula! Habali tulonda wasindila wayagwe? Avo muhulika ufukuzi wake!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.

66Mogelegeza vilihi?” Wamwidika, “Kolondigwa yakomigwe!”What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

67Abaho, wamtemela mate mkihanga chake, wamtoa, na wayagwe wamtoa makofi,Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

68walonga, “Gweye Kilisto, zuza! Yalihi yakutoile?”and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

69Petulo viyakalile yakalile hasi hanze ya idikonhi, mtumigwa imwe wa kitwanzi wa Mkulu wa Wakulu wose wa Nhambiko kamcholela kamulongela, “Na gweye kwa hamwe na Yesu wa Galilaya.”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.

70Ila Petulo kabela haulongozi wa wanhu wose, kamulongela, “Sikitanga chuulonga.”But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

71Viyakalile yolawa hanze ya idikonhi, mtumigwa iyagwe wa kitwanzi kamona na kuwalongela wanhu wakalile haja, “Munhu ino kakala hamwe na Yesu wa 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.”

72Petulo kabela mwanza uyagwe mkuiduila, kalonga, “Simtanga munhu ino!”And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

73Kipigiti kidodo hamwande, wanhu wemile haja wamcholela Petulo wamulongela, “Tokona na gweye kwa mmwanza wao, kwavija hata ulonzi wako ulinga na hewo!”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.”

74Abaho, Petulo kasonga kuidukumiza na kuiduila, yolonga, “Simtanga munhu ija!” Kipigiti kikija nzogolo keka.At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

75Petulo kakumbukila vija Yesu viyamulongele, “Nzogolo yang'hali hanakwika, konibela mianza midatu.” Kalawa hanze kalila ng'hani.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.
