¹Lɛid i deg xedmen aɣṛum mbla iɣes n temtunt ițțusemman « Tafaska n izimer n leslak » tqeṛb-ed.

¹Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,

²Lmuqedmin imeqqranen d lɛulama n ccariɛa țqelliben amek ara nɣen Sidna Ɛisa lameɛna uggaden lɣaci.

²and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³Yudas n Qeṛyut yiwen si tnac-nni n inelmadenis, ikcem-it Cciṭan.

³And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴Iṛuḥ ad yemcawaṛ d lmuqedmin imeqqranen akk-d lḥekkam iɛessasen n lǧameɛ iqedsen, iwakken a sen izzenz Sidna Ɛisa.

⁴And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

⁵Nutni feṛḥen yerna ɛuhden-t a s-fken idrimen.

⁵And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.

⁶Yudas yefra awal yid-sen syenna yebda yețqellib amek ara sen-t-yezzenz s tuffra ɣef lɣaci.

⁶And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.

⁷Yewweḍ-ed wass n Tfaska n weɣṛum mbla iɣes n tamtunt i deg ilaq ad zlun izimer n leslak.

⁷And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.

⁸Sidna Ɛisa iceggeɛ Buṭrus d Yuḥenna, yenna-yasen : Ṛuḥet a ɣ-theggim imensi n Tfaska.

⁸And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].

⁹Nnan-as : Anda tebɣiḍ a t-nheggi a Sidi ?

⁹But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?

¹⁰Yerra-yasen : M'ara tkecmem ɣer temdint, a d-temmagrem yiwen wergaz yerfed tacmuxt n waman ; tebɛet-eț ɣer wexxam anda ara yekcem.

¹⁰And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;

¹¹Init i bab n wexxam-nni : yeqqaṛ-ak-d Ssid nneɣ, anda ara nečč imensi n Tfaska nekk d inelmaden-iw ?

¹¹and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹²A wen-d-isken yiwet n tɣuṛfeț tameqqrant iwejden, dinna ara theggim imensi n Tfaska.

¹²And *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³Mi ṛuḥen, ufan kullec akken i sen-t-id-yenna, dɣa heggan imensi n Tfaska.

¹³And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

¹⁴Mi d-yewweḍ lweqt n imensi, Sidna Ɛisa yeqqim ad yečč nețța d Ṛṛusul-is,

¹⁴And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.

¹⁵yenna-yasen : Acḥal i mennaɣ ad ččeɣ imensi n Tfaska-agi yid-wen uqbel ad nneɛtabeɣ !

¹⁵And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶A wen-d-iniɣ : atan ur țțuɣaleɣ ara maḍi a t-ččeɣ alamma tețwakemmel lmeɛna-ines di tgelda n Sidi Ṛebbi.

¹⁶For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷Yeddem-d tabuqalt n waman n tẓurin, yeḥmed Sidi Ṛebbi yenna : Axet tabuqalt-agi, feṛqet-eț wway gar-awen,

¹⁷And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸a wen-d-iniɣ : sya d asawen ur țțuɣaleɣ ara ad sweɣ seg waman-agi n tẓurin alamma tewweḍ ed tgeldit n Sidi Ṛebbi.

¹⁸For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.

¹⁹Yeddem-ed daɣen aɣṛum, iḥmed Sidi Ṛebbi, yebḍa-t yefka-yasen-t, yenna : Aɣṛum-agi d lǧețța-w ara fkeɣ fell-awen, feṛqet-eț gar-awen. Sya d asawen xeddmet akkagi akken ad iyi-d-tețmektayem.

¹⁹And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰Mi gfukk imensi, yeddem-ed tabuqalt n waman n tẓurin, yefka yasen-ț yenna : Tabuqalt-agi, d leɛqed ajdid s idammen-iw ara yazzlen fell-awen.

²⁰In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹Ma d win ara yi-zzenzen atan yeqqim-ed yid-i ɣer lmakla.

²¹Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;

²²Mmi-s n bunadem ad immet akken yura fell-as di tira iqedsen, lameɛna a nnger n wemdan agi ara t-izzenzen !

²²and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

²³Ṛṛusul bdan țmesteqsayen wway gar-asen anwa-t wagi ara t-ixedɛen.

²³And *they* began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

²⁴Inelmaden bdan țemjadalen wway gar-asen iwakken ad ẓren anwa deg-sen ara ițwaḥesben d ameqqran.

²⁴And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.

²⁵Sidna Ɛisa yenna yasen : Imeqqranen n ddunit ḥekmen s ddreɛ ɣef yigduden-nsen yerna țțusemman d at lxiṛ.

²⁵And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁶Kunwi xḍut i wannect-agi. Ameqqran deg-wen ad yili am umeẓyan, win iḥekmen ad yili am win iqeddcen.

²⁶But *ye* [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.

²⁷Anwa i d ameqqran , d amɛelem yeqqimen ad yečč neɣ d win i s iqeddcen ? Yak d win yeqqimen ad yečč ! Ma d nekk, aql-i gar-awen am win iqeddcen.

²⁷For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But *I* am in the midst of you as the one that serves.

²⁸Kunwi aql-ikkun tṣebṛem yid-i di lmeḥnat-iw.

²⁸But *ye* are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

²⁹Akken i yi-d-ihegga Baba tagelda, ula d nekk a wen-ț-id heggiɣ i kunwi

²⁹And *I* appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,

³⁰iwakken aț-țeččem aț-țeswem yid-i di tgelda-inu. Aț-țeqqimem ɣef yikursiyen n lḥekma, aț-țḥekmem ɣef tnac leɛṛac n wat Isṛail.

³⁰that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹Sidna Ɛisa yenna : A Semɛun sel-iyi-d ! Cciṭan yessuter a kkun-isserwet am yirden,

³¹And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;

³²lameɛna dɛiɣ ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi fell-ak akken ur tfeččleḍ ara di liman. Ma d kečč m'ara d-tuɣaleḍ ɣuṛ-i, sseǧhed atmaten-ik.

³²but *I* have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and *thou*, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.

³³Buṭrus yenna-yas : Aql-i heggaɣ iman-iw ad kecmeɣ yid-ek ɣer lḥebs, ad dduɣ yid-ek ula ɣer lmut.

³³And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

³⁴Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yas : A k-d-iniɣ a Buṭrus , ass-a uqbel ad iskkuɛ uyaziḍ ad iyi-tnekṛeḍ tlata iberdan, aț-ținiḍ ur iyi-tessineḍ ara !

³⁴And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵Yenna-yasen daɣen : M'akken i kkun-ceggɛeɣ mbla idrimen, mbla agrab, mbla arkasen, yella kra i kkun-ixuṣṣen ? Rran-as : Ur aɣ-ixuṣṣ wacemma !

³⁵And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶Yenna-yasen : Ihi tura win yesɛan idrimen neɣ agrab yawi-ten, win ur nesɛi ara ajenwi ad izzenz abeṛnus-is iwakken a d-yaɣ yiwen.

³⁶He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;

³⁷Axaṭer qqaṛeɣ awen : Ilaq ad yedṛu yid-i wayen yuran. « Ițțuneḥsab seg yembaṣiyen, » yerna ayen yuran fell-i, atan yewweḍ ed.

³⁷for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸Inelmaden-is nnan-as : A Sidi , atnan sin ijenwiyen ! Yenna-yasen : D ayen tura, beṛka !

³⁸And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁹Akken yuɣ tannumi, Sidna Ɛisa yeffeɣ, iṛuḥ ɣer yiɣil n uzemmur ; inelmaden-is tebɛen-t.

³⁹And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰Mi gewweḍ ɣer wemkan-nni, yenna-yasen : Dɛut ɣer Ṛebbi akken ur tɣellim ara deg ujeṛṛeb.

⁴⁰And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹Dɣa yessebɛed iman-is fell-asen azal n kra n lmitrat, yeqqim ɣef tgecrar ideɛɛu i Ṛebbi yeqqaṛ :

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,

⁴²A Baba, ma tebɣiḍ ssebɛed fell-i leɛtab-agi i yi-țṛaǧun ; lameɛna d lebɣi-k ara yedṛun mačči d lebɣi inu.

⁴²saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: -- but then, not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³Yiwen n lmelk n Sidi Ṛebbi iḍheṛ-as-d a t-yesseǧhed.

⁴³And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.

⁴⁴Iḍaq wul-is, ikețțeṛ di tẓallit armi tuɣal tidi-ines d idammen yețqiṭṭiren ɣer lqaɛa.

⁴⁴And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.

⁴⁵Mi gekfa, yuɣal-ed ɣer inelmaden-is, yufa-ten-id yewwi-ten yiḍes axaṭer yeɣli-d fell-asen leḥzen ameqqran ;

⁴⁵And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.

⁴⁶dɣa yenna-yasen : Acuɣeṛ i tegnem ? Kkret, dɛut ɣer Ṛebbi akken ur tɣellim ara deg ujeṛṛeb.

⁴⁶And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷Mazal-it iheddeṛ, atnaya wwḍen d lɣaci. Yudas, yiwen si tnac-nni inelmaden-is yezwar-ed zdat-sen, iqeṛṛeb ɣer Sidna Ɛisa ad isellem fell-as.

⁴⁷As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸Sidna Ɛisa yenna yas : A Yudas, s sslam ara txedɛeḍ Mmi-s n bunadem !

⁴⁸And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹Wid yellan d Sidna Ɛisa, mi walan ayen ara yedṛun nnan-as : A Sidi, a newwet s ijenwiyen ?

⁴⁹And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?

⁵⁰Yiwen deg-sen yewwet aqeddac n lmuqeddem ameqqran, igzem-as ameẓẓuɣ ayeffus.

⁵⁰And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.

⁵¹Sidna Ɛisa yenna yasen : ?ebset ! Dayen tura ! Yessers afus-is ɣef wemkan n umeẓẓuɣ n uqeddac-nni, yerra-yas-t akken yella.

⁵¹And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵²Dɣa yezzi ɣer wid i d-yusan a t-ḥebsen, ɣer lmuqedmin imeqqranen d lɛuqal akk-d lḥekkam n iɛessasen n lǧameɛ iqedsen yenna yasen : Tusam-d ɣuṛ-i s ijenwiyen d iɛekzan am akken d amakar i lliɣ.

⁵²And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

⁵³Mkul ass țțiliɣ yid-wen di lǧameɛ iqedsen yiwen ur d-yerfid afus-is ɣuṛ-i. Lameɛna taswiɛt-agi ț-țaswiɛt nwen, ț-țaswiɛt n tezmert n ṭṭlam.

⁵³When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

⁵⁴Mi ṭṭfen Sidna Ɛisa, wwin-t ɣer wexxam n lmuqeddem ameqqran. Buṭrus itbeɛ-iten s lebɛid.

⁵⁴And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.

⁵⁵Ceɛlen times di tlemmast n wefrag, qqimen. Buṭrus yella yid-sen.

⁵⁵And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

⁵⁶Yiwet n tqeddact twala-t-id yeqqim yeẓẓiẓin, tmuqel-it tenna : Argaz-agi daɣen yella yid-es.

⁵⁶And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.

⁵⁷Lameɛna Buṭrus yenkeṛ, yenna : Ur t-ssineɣ ara a tameṭṭut !

⁵⁷But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.

⁵⁸Cwiṭ akka, iwala-t-id yiwen nniḍen, yenna : Kečč daɣen d yiwen seg-sen. Buṭrus yerra-yas, yenna : Ur lliɣ ara seg-sen ay argaz !

⁵⁸And after a short time another seeing him said, And *thou* art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

⁵⁹Iɛedda wazal n ssaɛa, yenṭeq-ed yiwen nniḍen yenna : Mbla ccekk argaz-agi yella yid-es axaṭer d ajlili.

⁵⁹And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.

⁶⁰Buṭrus yerra-yas : Ur ẓriɣ ara d acu i d-teqqaṛeḍ ay argaz ! Werɛad yekfi ameslay... yeskkuɛ uyaziḍ.

⁶⁰And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.

⁶¹Sidna Ɛisa yezzi ɣuṛ-es, immuqel-it. Dɣa Buṭrus yemmekta-d wayen i s-d-yenna Sidna Ɛisa : « Ass-agi, uqbel ad iskkuɛ uyaziḍ ad iyi-tnekṛeḍ tlata iberdan.»

⁶¹And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶²Yeffeɣ ɣer beṛṛa iṭṭerḍeq s imeṭṭawen axaṭer yendem.

⁶²And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.

⁶³Irgazen-nni i gɛussen Sidna Ɛisa, stehzayen fell-as kkaten-t.

⁶³And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];

⁶⁴?ɣummun-as udem-is, rnan qqaṛen-as « eɛqel ihi anwa i k-id yewten ».

⁶⁴and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

⁶⁵Rnan regmen-t s mkul rregmat yellan.

⁶⁵And they said many other injurious things to him.

⁶⁶Mi guli wass, tajmaɛt n lɛuqal n wegdud, lmuqedmin imeqqranen d lɛulama n ccariɛa nnejmaɛen. Wwin-d Sidna Ɛisa ɣer usqamu n ccṛeɛ.

⁶⁶And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,

⁶⁷Steqsan-t nnan-as : Ma d kečč i d Lmasiḥ, ini yaɣ t-id. Yerra-yasen : Atan ma nniɣ-awen-t-id ur iyi tețțamnem ara,

⁶⁷If *thou* art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;

⁶⁸ma steqsaɣ-kkun-id ur iyi-d-țarram ara.

⁶⁸and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;

⁶⁹Lameɛna a wen-d-iniɣ, sya ɣer zdat, Mmi-s n bunadem ad yeḥkem ɣer tama tayeffust n Sidi Ṛebbi Bab n tezmert.

⁶⁹but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰Kkren-d akken ma llan nnan : Ihi kečč d Mmi-s n Ṛebbi ? Nețța yerra-yasen : Tennam-t-id, d nekk !

⁷⁰And they all said, *Thou* then art the Son of God? And he said to them, *Ye* say that I am.

⁷¹Imiren ɛeggḍen nnan : Dayen ur neḥwaǧ ara inigan, yenna-t-id s yimi-s, nesla-yas s imeẓẓuɣen-nneɣ.

⁷¹And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
