Matthew 27 (ZAJP)

1Imitondo ng'hani, wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko wose na wavyele wa wanhu wamwikila zundo Yesu giladi wazahile nzila ya kumkoma.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Wamfunga, wamsola, na kumgala ha Pilato, mndewa wa Yudea kulawa Loma.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Abaho, Yuda, ija yamuhonzile Yesu, viyawene kamba Yesu katagusigwa kudanganhika, kona giogio na kuvibweza vija vidanga malongo madatu va hela ha wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wavyele wa wanhu.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.

4Kalonga, “Nitenda vilozo mkumuhonza munhu yakalile bule mbuli yoyose ihile!” Na hewo wamulongela, “Avo tweye tutendeze? Na lwako mwenyego!”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Avo Yuda kazibwanha zihela muna Ing'anda ya Mulungu, abaho, kalawa hanze ya idikonhi da Ing'anda ya Mulungu, kachola kuibota.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko wazidondola zihela, walonga, “Hela zino za mulopa zigomesigwa na Malagizo ga Musa kwikigwa muna ingama ya Ng'anda ya Mulungu.”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.”

7Avo, walamula kamba hela zija wagule mgunda wa munhu imwe yakalile muumbi giladi hawe hanhu ha kuzikila wahenza.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Avo mbaka lelo mgunda uja wokemigwa, “Mgunda wa Mulopa.”That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Abaho, gavikila gaja galongigwe na muhokozi Yelemia, “Wasola vidanga malongo madatu va hela, kiasi kikigwe na wanhu wa Islaeli sama yake,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,

10na zihela wazigulila mgunda wa munhu imwe yakalile muumbi, kamba Mndewa viyanilagize.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Yesu kema haulongozi wa Pilato, mndewa wa Yudea kulawa Loma, na Pilato kamuuza, “Gweye iyo mndewa wa Wayahudi?” Yesu kamulongela, “Gweye iyo ulonga avo.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Ila wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wavyele wa wanhu viwakalile womtagusa, halongile kinhu chochose.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Abaho, Pilato kamuuza, “Huhulika mbuli bwando zowokutagusa?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Ila Yesu hedike hata mbuli imwe, avo Pilato kakanganya ng'hani.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Mkipigiti cha Lusona lwa Pasaka, mndewa wa Yudea kulawa Loma kakala na nzoela ya kumfungulila mfungigwa imwe ija wanhu iwamulondile.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Kipigiti kija kukala na mfungigwa imwe yatangigwe ng'hani na wanhu sama ya kutenda gehile yokemigwa Balaba.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Avo, dale da wanhu vidiiting'hane, Pilato kawauza, “Yalihi yummulonda niwafungulile? Balaba, ama Yesu yokemigwa Kilisto?”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?”

18Kwavija Pilato kavitanga kamba wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wavyele wa wanhu wamgala Yesu kumwake sama ya migongo.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Pilato viyakalile mkigoda cha nhaguso, mtwanzi wake kamtumila usenga, kamulongela, “Sambiumtende kinhu chochose munhu hiyo yalibule vilozo, kwavija lelo nigaya ng'hani mnzozi sama yake.”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.”

20Ila wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wavyele wa wanhu wadiswagiza didale da wanhu dimpule Pilato yawafungulile Balaba na Yesu yakomigwe.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Pilato kadiuza didale da wanhu, “Yalihi mwa wanhu wano wabili yummulonda niwafungulile?” Wamwidika, “Balaba.”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Pilato kawauza, “Nimtendeze Yesu yokemigwa Kilisto?” Wose wamwidika, “Yawambigwe mumsalaba!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Pilato kawauza, “Habali, mbuli yaki ihile yaatendile?” Ila wose wongeza kuguta nyangi wolonga, “Yawambigwe mumsalaba!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Pilato viyawene kamba hawamtegeleza, ila kizuka kiyahiyahi, kasola mazi na kusuluza makono gake haulongozi wa didale da wanhu, kalonga, “Nie nabule mbuli na ifa ya munhu ino! Iloleni mwemwe wenyego!”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.”

25Didale da wanhu dimulongela, “Nhaguso ya ifa yake toisola tweye na wanetu!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Abaho, Pilato kawafungulila Balaba, na kuwalagiza asikali wamulanhe Yesu mbalati, na kumgela mmakono gao giladi yawambigwe mumsalaba.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Abaho, asikali wa mndewa wa Yudea kulawa Loma wamsola Yesu wamwingiza mding'anda da ija imndewa, abaho, dale jose da asikali dimzunguluka.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Wam'vula vivalo vake na kum'vaza kanzu da zambalau.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Abaho, waluka mkungo wa mizomola wamwikila mpala jake na kumwikila ludete mumkono wake wa ukulume. Abaho, wamfugamila mavindi na kumtendela uponela, wamulongela, “Kwa mpile, Mndewa wa Wayahudi!”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!”

30Wamtemela mate, wasola ludete na kumulanha nao mpala.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Viwamambukize kumtendela uponela, wam'vula dija dikanzu, wam'vaza vivalo vake. Abaho, wamgala kumuwamba mumsalaba.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.

32Viwakalile wochola, waiting'hana na munhu kulawa isi ya Kilene, yakemigwe Simoni, wemilizi wamshulutiza giladi yaupape msalaba wa Yesu.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Wavika hanhu hakemigwe, Goligota, nhegulo yake “Hanhu ha Fulu da Pala.”And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34Wamgwelela Yesu divai igeligwe vinhu va usungu, ila viyailanzile, haing'wile.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Wamuwamba mumsalaba, abaho, wakiigolela vivalo vake mkuvitoela kula.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Abaho, wakala hasi, wamwimiliza.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Uchana ya pala jake wandika lupwilili lwa nhaguso yake lulonga, “ino iyo yesu, mndewa wa wayahudi.”Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Wamuwamba Yesu mumsalaba hamoja na mibokonyi mibili, dimwe ng'ambu yake ya ukulume, na diyagwe ng'ambu yake ya ukumoso.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Wanhu wakalile wobita wamuliga, watigisa mapala gaoAnd those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40walonga, “Gweye iyo ulondile kuibomola Ng'anda ya Mulungu na kuizenga mmazua madatu, ikombole mwenyego! Ihawa gweye iyo Mwana wa Mulungu, humuluka kulawa mumsalaba!”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!”

41Vivija na wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na wavyele wa wanhu wamtendela uponela, walonga,In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42“Kawakombola wayagwe, ila hadahile kuikombola mwenyego! Heyo iyo Mndewa wa Islaeli! Avo na yahumuluke kulawa mumsalaba, na tweye tomtogola!“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.

43Komtamanila Mulungu, avo tulole vija Mulungu vondayamkombole, kwavija kalonga, ‘Nie iyo Mwana wa Mulungu.’ ”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Vivija na ija imibokonyi iwambigwe hamoja na heyo imuliga.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Songela kipigiti cha saa sita, kukala na ziza muisi yose mbaka kipigiti cha saa tisa.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Mkipigiti cha saa tisa, Yesu kenula dizwi kalila, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani?” Nhegulo yake, “Mulungu wangu, Mulungu wangu, habali kundeka?”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?”

47Wanhu wemile haja viwahulike, walonga, “Munhu ino komkema Eliya!”When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Bahaja munhu imwe kakimbila na kusola siponji, kaizabika muna idivai igwaduke na kuifunga kuisota ya lumango na kumng'weza Yesu.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.

49Ila wayagwe walonga, “Muleke! Tulole kamba Eliya kokwiza kumkombola!”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Yesu kenula dizwi kalila kabili, abaho, kadanganhika.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Kipigiti kikija, diguo ditungikwe Muing'anda ya Mulungu didegeka vidanga vibili, kulawa uchana mbaka hasi. Isi igudema, na mibwe itulika,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52mapanga gatulika, na ng'huli za wanhu bwando wang'alile wadanganhike wazuka.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Yesu viyazukile, na hewo walawa hana gamapanga wachola hana diwambo ding'alile da Yelusalemu, na koneka na wanhu bwando.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Mkulu wa asikali mia wa Loma, hamoja na waja wakalile womwimiliza Yesu, viwawene mgudemo wa isi na gaja galawilile, wadumba na kulonga, “Kweli munhu ino kakala Mwana wa Mulungu!”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.”

55Hanhu haja kukala na watwanzi bwando wolola kutalitali, wakalile womkweleleza Yesu kulawa Galilaya na wakala womsang'hanikila.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Watwanzi hiwo wakala Maliamu wa kiwambo cha Magidala, Maliamu mamaake Yakobo na Usufu, na mama wa wanage Zebedayo.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Viivikile ichungulo, keza mgoli imwe kulawa wambo da Alimataya, yakemigwe Usufu, vivija kakala mwanahina wa Yesu.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Kachola ha Pilato na kumpula lukuli lwa Yesu, na Pilato kalagiza kamba yagweleligwe.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Usufu kalusola ulukuli, kaluzinga sanda,So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60na kulutambalika mdipanga jake mwenyego da sambi dipukigwe mdidibwe. Kadibimbilisa dibwe kulu na kudika hana umulomo wa idipanga, abaho, kachola.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.

61Maliamu wa kiwambo cha Magidala na Maliamu iyagwe wakala hamgwazo wa idipanga.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Imitondo yake, ikala Zua da Mhumulo, wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na Mafalisayo wamcholela PilatoThe next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63na kulonga, “Mndewa, tokumbuka kamba viyakalile mgima, m'vwizi ija kalonga, ‘Gahabita mazua madatu nozuka.’“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Avo lagiza kamba panga jake diimilizwe mbaka zua da ikadatu, giladi wanahina zake sambiwachole kulusola ulukuli, na kuwalongela wanhu kamba kazuka. Uvwizi uno wa kimambukizo wokwiha ng'hani kubanza uja wa ichanduso.”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.”

65Pilato kawalongela, “Soleni iwaasikali, gendeni mkadiimilize kamba vumdaha.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Avo wachola kudimiliza dipanga mkuweka asikali na kwika utango mumgwazo wa idibwe giladi kamba munhu yahadisegeza wavitange.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
