⁷And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.

¹⁴And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.

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

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

¹⁶for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

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

¹⁸for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

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.”

¹⁹ Kaŋ a na buuru mo sambu ka saabu, gaa no a n'a ceeri-ceeri ka no i se, ka ne: «Woone wo ay gaahamo no kaŋ ay goono ga no araŋ sabbay se. Araŋ ma woodin te ka fongu nd'ay.»

¹⁹And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²¹ Amma guna, nga kaŋ g'ay nooyandi, a kamba go ay banda taablo boŋ.

²¹But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

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

²² Zama Boro* Izo ga koy daahir, sanda mate kaŋ cine i n'a waadu amma kaari bora din kaŋ nga no g'a nooyandi!»

²²For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!

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

²³ I sintin ka care hã boro kaŋ no ngey game ra kaŋ ga ba ka woodin te.

²³And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

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

²⁴ Kakaw mo tun i game ra ngey boro woofo no i g'a lasaabu ibeeri.

²⁴And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.

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

²⁵ Kala Yesu ne i se: «Ndunnya dumey bonkooney ga koytaray cabe ngey borey boŋ. Ngey mo kaŋ yaŋ gonda dabari i boŋ, i ga ne i se: boriyandiyankoyey.

²⁵And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.

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.

²⁶ Amma araŋ wo, manti yaadin no araŋ ga te, amma nga kaŋ ga ti ibeero araŋ game ra, a ma te danga koda. Nga kaŋ gonda mayray mo, a ma te danga saajawko cine.

²⁶But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

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.

²⁷ Zama may no ga bisa beeray, nga kaŋ go ga goro ka ŋwa, wala nga kaŋ go ga saajaw? Manti nga kaŋ goono ga goro ka ŋwa no? Amma ay wo go araŋ game ra danga saajawko cine.

²⁷For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

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

²⁸ Amma araŋ wo ga ti ngey kaŋ yaŋ goro ay banda ay siyaŋey ra.

²⁸But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;

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

²⁹ Ay mo go ga koytaray daŋ araŋ se, mate kaŋ ay Baaba na koytaray daŋ ay se,

²⁹and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

³⁰ zama araŋ ma ŋwa, araŋ ma haŋ ay banda ay koytara ra. Woodin banda, araŋ ga goro koytaray karga way cindi hinka boŋ ka Israyla* kunda way cindi hinka ciiti.

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

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

³¹ Siman, Siman, Saytan ŋwaaray nga ma du araŋ zama a m'araŋ hagay sanda alkama cine.

³¹Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:

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.” .”

³² Amma ay mo ŋwaaray ni se hala ni cimbeero* ma si gaze. Ni mo, da ni ye ka bare, ni ma ni nya-izey gaabandi.»

³²but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.

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

³³ Siman ne a se: «Rabbi, ay soola ay ma koy ni banda hala kasu ra; oho mo, hala buuyaŋ.»

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

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

³⁴ Amma Yesu wo ne: «Bitros, ay ga ne ni se: gorongaari si ca hunkuna, kala nda ni ze sorro hinza ka ne ni s'ay bay.»

³⁴And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

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

³⁵ A ne i se mo: «Waato kaŋ ay n'araŋ donton nooru lonko si, foolo si, taamu si, araŋ jaŋ hay fo no?» I ne: «Abada!»

³⁵And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.

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.

³⁶ A ne i se koyne: «Amma sohõ, boro kaŋ gonda nooru lonko, a ma kond'a, nga nda foolo. Boro kaŋ sinda takuba mo ma nga taafe neera k'afo day.

³⁶And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

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.”

³⁷ Zama ay ga ne araŋ se: Wo kaŋ i hantum ka ne: ‹I n'a lasaabu taali-teerey banda,› tilas i ma woodin toonandi ay do. Zama da cimi hari kaŋ i hantum ay boŋ gonda toonandiyaŋ.»

³⁷For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.

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

³⁸ I ne: «Rabbi, takuba hinka neeya.» Kal a ne i se: «A wasa.»

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

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

³⁹ A fatta ka koy Zeytun* tondo boŋ, mate kaŋ a doona ka te, talibey mo n'a gana.

³⁹And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.

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

⁴⁰ Waato kaŋ a to noodin, a ne i se: «Araŋ ma te adduwa zama araŋ ma si furo siyaŋ ra.»

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

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

⁴¹ A fay d'ey ka koy jine danga tondi catuyaŋ fo cine. A sombu ka te adduwa,

⁴¹And he was parted from them about a stone's cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,

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

⁴² ka ne: «Ya Baaba, da ni yadda, ma taabo wo sambu ay se. Day, manti ay miila ma te bo, amma ni wano.»

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

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

⁴³ Kala malayka fo bangay a se ka fun beene, a goono g'a gaabandi.

⁴³And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

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

⁴⁴ Kaŋ Yesu go gurzugay ra, a go ga adduwa te da anniya, a sungay mo te danga kuri tolliyaŋ bambata cine, kaŋ soobay ka kaŋ laabo ra.

⁴⁴And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

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

⁴⁵ Adduwa banda a tun ka kaa talibey do k'i gar jirbi gaa, bine saray sabbay se.

⁴⁵And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

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

⁴⁶ Kal a ne i se: «Ifo se no araŋ go ga jirbi? Wa tun ka te adduwa, zama araŋ ma si furo siyaŋ ra.»

⁴⁶and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

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.

⁴⁷ Za a go ga salaŋ, guna jama fo kaa. Bora kaŋ se i ga ne Yahuta mo, i way cindi hinka ra afo, n'i jin. A kaa ka maan Yesu gaa, zama nga m'a sunsum.

⁴⁷While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

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

⁴⁸ Amma Yesu ne a se: «Yahuta, sunsumyaŋ no ni ga Boro Izo nooyandi nd'a, wala?»

⁴⁸But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

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

⁴⁹ Ngey kaŋ goono g'a windi, waato kaŋ i di haŋ kaŋ ga ba ka te, i ne: «Rabbi, iri ma kar da takuba, wala?»

⁴⁹And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

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

⁵⁰ I boro fo binde na alfaga* beero bannya fo zafa k'a kambe ŋwaaro hanga kaa.

⁵⁰And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear.

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

⁵¹ Amma Yesu ne: «Wa naŋ yaadin.» A na hanga ham k'a yayandi.

⁵¹But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye [them] thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

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?

⁵² Yesu ne alfaga beerey da Irikoy windo batukoy jine funey da arkusey kaŋ yaŋ kaa a do se: «Araŋ kande takuba nda goobu yaŋ danga kosarayko do no?

⁵²And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?

⁵³ When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

⁵³ Waato kaŋ ay go araŋ banda zaari kulu Irikoy windo ra, araŋ mana kambe dake ay gaa. Amma saaya woone ya araŋ wane no, da kubay dabari wane mo.»

⁵³When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

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

⁵⁴ I na Yesu di k'a candi ka kond'a alfaga beero kwaara. Amma Bitros n'a banda gana nangu mooro.

⁵⁴And they seized him, and led him [away], and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off.

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

⁵⁵ Waato kaŋ i na danji funsu windo batama bindo ra ka goro ganda, Bitros mo goro i game ra.

⁵⁵And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.

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

⁵⁶ Kala koŋŋo fo di a go ga goro danji kaaro ra. A n'a guna ka ne; «Boro wo mo go Yesu banda.»

⁵⁶And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light [of the fire], and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.

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

⁵⁷ Amma a ze ka ne: «Waybora, ay s'a bay.»

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

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

⁵⁸ A gay kayna, kala boro fo di a ka ne: «Ni mo i boro fo no.» Amma Bitros ne: «Albora, manti ay.»

⁵⁸And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art [one] of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

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

⁵⁹ Waato kaŋ guuru fo cine bisa, afo koyne seeda nda anniya ka ne: «Haciika boro wo go a banda, zama Galili laabu boro no.»

⁵⁹And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.

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

⁶⁰ Amma Bitros ne: «Albora, ay si baa bay haŋ kaŋ no ni go ga ci.» Sahãadin-sahãadin, za a go sanno din gaa, gorongaari fo ca.

⁶⁰But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

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.”

⁶¹ Rabbi mo bare ka Bitros guna. Kala Bitros fongu nda Rabbi sanno, mate kaŋ a ci nga se ka ne: «Za gorongaari mana ca hunkuna, ni ga ze ka ne ni s'ay bay sorro hinza.»

⁶¹And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶²He went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶² Kala Bitros fatta taray ka baray da hẽeni konno.

⁶²And he went out, and wept bitterly.

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

⁶³ Alborey mo kaŋ yaŋ goono ga Yesu gaay n'a hahaara k'a jadde.

⁶³And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him.

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

⁶⁴ I n'a moy haw ka soobay k'a hã ka ne: «Ma annabitaray te me, may no ka ni kar?»

⁶⁴And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?

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

⁶⁵ Sanni boobo no i ci a se koyne k'a kayna.

⁶⁵And many other things spake they against him, reviling him.

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,

⁶⁶ Waato kaŋ mo bo, jama arkusey da alfaga beerey da asariya dondonandikoy margu. I na Yesu candi ka kond'a ngey Yahudancey arkusey marga do

⁶⁶And as 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,

⁶⁷“If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,

⁶⁷ ka ne: «Da ni ya Almasihu no, ma ci iri se.» Amma a ne i se: «D'ay ci araŋ se, araŋ si cimandi baa kayna.

⁶⁷If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

⁶⁸ and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.

⁶⁸ Da mo ay n'araŋ hã, araŋ si tu baa kayna.

⁶⁸and if I ask [you], ye will not answer.

⁶⁹ From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

⁶⁹ Amma ne ka koy jine Boro Izo ga goro Irikoy dabari kambe ŋwaaro gaa.»

⁶⁹But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”

⁷⁰ Kal i kulu ne: «Ni ya Irikoy Izo no, wala?» A ne i se: «Araŋ wo n'a ci, ay ga ti nga.»

⁷⁰And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

⁷¹They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”

⁷¹ I ne: «Man no iri ga laami nda seeda fo koyne? Zama iri bumbey, iri maa a meyo ra.»

⁷¹And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
