¹Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.

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

²The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

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

³Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.

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

⁴He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

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

⁵They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

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

⁶He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

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

⁷The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.

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

⁸He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

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

⁹They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

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

¹⁰He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.

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

¹¹ Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

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

¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

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

¹³They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

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

¹⁴When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

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

¹⁵He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

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

¹⁶ for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”

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

¹⁷He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves,

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

¹⁸ for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes.”

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

¹⁹He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

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.

²⁰Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

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.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

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

²² The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

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

²³They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

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

²⁴There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

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

²⁵He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

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

²⁶ But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

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

²⁷ For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who 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.

²⁸ But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

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

²⁹ I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

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

³¹The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,

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

³² but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” .”

³³He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

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

³⁴He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

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 !

³⁵He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

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 !

³⁶Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

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.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ Isaiah 53:12 For that which concerns me has an end.”

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

³⁸They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

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

³⁹He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

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

⁴⁰When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

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

⁴¹He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

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

⁴²saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

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

⁴³An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

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

⁴⁴Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

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

⁴⁵When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

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

⁴⁶and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

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

⁴⁷While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

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.

⁴⁸But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

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

⁴⁹When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

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

⁵⁰A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

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

⁵¹But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this” —and he touched his ear, and healed him.

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

⁵²Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

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.

⁵⁴They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.

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

⁵⁵When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.

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

⁵⁶A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”

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

⁵⁷He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”

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

⁵⁸After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”

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 !

⁵⁹After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”

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

⁶⁰But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

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

⁶¹The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”

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.»

⁶²He went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶²Yeffeɣ ɣer beṛṛa iṭṭerḍeq s imeṭṭawen axaṭer yendem.

⁶³The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

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

⁶⁴Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”

⁶⁵They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

⁶⁵Rnan regmen-t s mkul rregmat yellan.

⁶⁶As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
