1 Ikali isigalie figono fivili hela kufikila lihungu lya Pasaka na lihungu lya mibumunda sevikilwe lisimika. Vatekechi vakomi na vawulanichi va malagicho vakali kusaka ng'asi cha udesi cha kumbata Yesu kwa ila na vamdoche. 2 Ila vakalongile, "Tubihile kumbata chipindi va lihungu lya Pasaka vanu viwesa kugita ndewo."

3 Yesu akali Kubetania, kukaye lya Simoni yeali itamika ukalavilo. Peakali kuliya kyakuliya kya palumie, akaachile maye ali na bochobocho lya mafuta gya kunung'ilila unofu gyene samani ngomi. Akalidenyile lila libochobocho, na kumbaka Yesu mafuta palituwe lyake. 4 Vanu vevagehe bahala pala vakavipile mno, vakali vihuchana, "Wuli manung'ililo haga ga sendi ngomi giyaga hela? 5 Manung'ililo haga gageveswa kuguchwa kwa sendi cholofu mno na sendi hicho vagavilwe vanu vahangala!" Vakamlakie yula maye mno. 6 Ila Yesu akavalongile, "Mumleke, wuli mukumsumbula? Anigitile njowo nofu. 7 Vahangala mwigehe navo pamwinga figono fyonda, muvesa kuvatanga chipindi vovonda yemwikela. Ila nene sendivecha na nyenye figono fyonda. 8 Maye uyu agitile lyavesile. Kalongola kubaka mvili vangu manung'ililo, kuuvika unofu kwa magubukilo. 9 Ndikuvalongela ndakyene, peponda pa inyi Njowo Nofu pechidalikwa, gito ili cheagitile itambulwa kwa kumuwuka yumwene."

10 Baho Yuda Sikaliyoti, yumwi va vala kumi na vavili, akahele kwa vatekechi vakomi neke kumseduka Yesu. 11 Vatekechi vakomi pevapulike njowo hilyo, vakedwike, vakamlongie kumgavila sendi. Suwe, Yuda akavangile kusaka chipindi va kumseduka.

12 Kigono kya kwansa lya lihungu lya mibumunda segivikwa lisimika, chipindi vakuhinja mwana kondolo va Pasaka, vachulila vake vakamuhuchile, "Ukela kulia kwii lihungu lya Pasaka?" 13 Suwe, Yesu akavalagiliche vachulila vake vavili kavalongile, "Muhelele kumwani na koya mwitang'ana na mgosi yumwi anyamuwe kichoba kya malenga. Mumfuate, 14 mbaka kukaye yeikwingila, mkamlongie mwene kaya, ‘Muwulanichi alongile, kigehe kwiya kyumba kyangu kya vagenji kyakulilya lihungu lya Pasaka pamwinga na vachulila vangu?’ 15 Nave akuvawonesa kyumba kikomi kudali kitayaliswe sue. Mutwandalisiye mula." 16 Vachulila vakahegile, vakahele kumwani, vakawene kila kinu kigehe unofu ngita Yesu avalongile. Ndena vakaandalisa kyakula kya lihungu lya Pasaka. 17 Peifikile palumiye, Yesu afikile pamwinga na vachulila vake kumi na vavili. 18 Pevagehe kulia kyakula, Yesu akavalongie, "Ndakyene ndikuvalongela, myenu yumwi yeilya sahani yimwinga na nene, akuniseduka."

19 Bahala vachulila vake vakavanga kuswigima vakamuhucha Yesu, "Nde ani?" 20 Yesu akavalongiye, "Yumwi venu nyenye kyumi na vavili, yeichwika libumunda pamwi na nene mukimbundi. 21 Ndakyene Mwana va Munu ifua ngita Masimbo Mang'alile gyegilonga. Ila ole vake munu yula yeakumseduka Mwana va Munu! Ngiba munu uyu sehababilwe!"

22 Pevagehe kulya, Yesu kanyamula libumunda, akamuhongiche Nguluvi kadumula na kuvagavila vachulila vake peilonga, "Mnyamule, ugu ndi mvili vangu."

23 Kangi, akanyamula kikombe kya difai, akamuhongiche Nguluvi, akavagavile vachulila vake, vonda vakanywelie kikombe kila, 24 akavalongie, "Iyi ndi danda lyangu yeisibitisa Lyagano lya Nguluvi, danda yeisukwika kwajili lya vanu volofu. 25 Ndakyene ndikuvalongela, sendinyuwa kangi difai lya sabibu mbaka kigono kila pendinyuwa umiya pa Ung'achale va Nguluvi." 26 Kangi vakaimbile wimbo, vakahega, vakahelela pa kidunda va Miseituni.

27 Yesu akavalongie vachulila vake, "Nyenye vonda mwenileka, kwakuva Masimbo Mang'alile gyilonga, ‘Ndikumtova mtekechi, nawo kondolo viyaganika koya na koya.’ 28 Ila pendichulubuka, ndikuvalongola kula ku Galilaya." 29 Peteli akamlongie, "Hata ngita vangi vonda vekukuleka, nene sendikuleka ng'odo!" 30 Yesu akamlongie Peteli, "Ndakyene ndikukulongela, neng'uni, pamie hugu, kabula livisi seiwika mala chivili, ukunikanila mala chidatu." 31 Ila Peteli kamlongela, "Hata ngita nditakilwa kufua pamwinga nave, sendikuleka ng'odo." Vachulila vonda vakalongile ndeni.

32 Suwe, vakafikile pa mgunda mdodo ukemelwe Gatesemane. Yesu akavalongela vachulila vake, "Mwikale baha chipindi nene ndifunya." 33 Baho akavanyamula peteli na Yakobo na Yohani, akavanga kuswigima na kutumama. 34 Akavalongie, "Numbula vangu imemile na lusugimo mkomi hata pepi kufua. Mwikale baha na mbihile kuvasa mkisuka."

35 Akahela pautalo padodo, ague panyi lufuma akasuka akilonga, ngita ivechekanika seaichumbile saa hilyo lya magudo. 36 Akalonga, "Daada vangu, kwa veve makani gonda givesekanika. Unihechele kikombe hiki, ila seiveche ngita ndikelafyo nene, ila ukelafyo veve." 37 Yesu awuyile kwa vachulila vala vadatu, akavawene vavasile. Suwe, akamuhucha Peteli, "Simoni, uvasile? Be seuvesile kuvecha meho hata lisaa limwi?" 38 Avalongie kangi, "Mveche meho na kusuka neke mbihile kwingila mmagecho. Muhe ikela, ila mvili uhela ludali." 39 Akahele kusuka kangi akawuyila malichwi gagala. 40 Akawuyile kangi, akavawene vavasile. Kwakuva mewo gyaho gamemile tulo, sevachele lya kumuhiga. 41 Peachile mala lya udatu akavalongie, "Mwave mwivasa na kutulula? Ino mlamke! Vakati ufikile! Mwana va Munu vakumtawula kwa vanu vawofu venye sambi. 42 Mlamke na tuhelele setu lole yula mkanila vangu ekwacha."

43 Yesu peali ave kuywanga, Yuda, yumwinga va vala kumi na vavili, akafikile pamwinga na lipinga lya vanu vevali na mipanga na findonga. Vanu havo valagilichwe na vatekechi vakomi, vawulanichi va malagicho na vavaha. 44 Yuda Isikalioti akali avagavile kimanyilo, "Yula yendikumnonela ndi mwene, mumbate na kumnyamula." 45 Yuda peafikile hela, kamuheleliya Yesu, kamlongela, "Rabi" mana lyake "Muwulanichi!" Akamkumbatila. 46 Baho vala vanu vakambatile Yesu, na kumdima abihile kuhega. 47 Yumwi va vala vevakali vihimila bahala pala pamwinga na Yesu, akahomola lipanga lyake, akamtovile mnyengendwa va mtekechi mkomi na kumdumula lisigicha. 48 Yesu avalongie, "Wuli mwachile na mipanga na findonga kunibata ngita nene ndinyamula finu fya vanu kwa ludali? 49 Figono fyonda ndalipamwinga na nyenye pendiwulanicha pa Kaye lya Nguluvi, vala semwibatile. Ila ino yitakilwa Masimbo Mang'alile gyatimile." 50 Bawo vachulila vonda vakamlekile, vakanyilile. 51 Kukali na mdimi yumwi yeakali amfutila Yesu akiva afwulile mgololo mvalafu. Navo vakasakile kumbata. 52 Ila mwene akasulubuka, akaulekile wula mgololo mvalafu, akanyilile bila mgololo mvalafu.

53 Suwe, vakamsindika Yesu kwa mtekechi mkomi na vatekechi vakomi vonda, vagogolo na vawulanichi va malagicho koya vilundise. 54 Peteli amfuatile Yesu kwa utali, akaingiye mulidamwa lwa mtekechi mkomi, akaliye pamwinga na vadimaji akilota lyoto. 55 Vatekechi vakomi na vanu vonda va Lidamo likomi vakasakile malichwi gegakumgita Yesu kudochwa, ila sevaupatile. 56 Vanu volofu vakaimile na kulonga udesi neke kumlata Yesu, ila malichwi gyawo segawanine. 57 Vangi vahimile na kulonga udesi na kulonga, 58 "Tumpulike munu uyu ikilonga, ‘Ndikuiananga Kaya lya Nguluvi hilyi yevachengili kwa mawoko gya vanu na kwa figono fidatu ndichenga yingi yeselichengilwe kwa mawoko gya vanu.’" 59 Ila hata ifyo, malichwi gyawo segawanine. 60 Suwe, Mtekechi Mkomi imile pautalo lyawo, akamuhuchile Yesu, "Be veve seuvesa kuhiga malata haga ambago vanu hava valetile kukyanya lyako?" 61 Ila mwene akachikile, sealongile hata lichwi limwi. Mtekechi Mkomi akamuhucha kangi, "Be veve nde Kilisito yeaguliwe na Nguluvi, Mwana va Nguluvi Mfunyilwa?" 62 Yesu akahigile, "Ndakyene nene. Kangi, mukumuwona Mwana va Munu akalile ubali va kulia va Nguluvi munya ludali, ikwacha pa mafunde gya kuluhano." 63 Baho Mtekechi Mkomi akatatula liingila lyake na akalonga, "Twikela malichwi liki kangi gya kumlata? 64 Mpulike peakumliga Nguluvi! Nyenye mulola wuli?"

Vonda vakamuhinga kuva akunjumwa kudochwa.

65 Suwe, vangi vakavanga kumfunyila miti, vakamuhopila mwenda meho, vakamtovile na kumlongela, "Lotele ani akutovile!" Vadima vakamnyamula na kumtova mimbata.

66 Peteli peakali ave panyi kulidamwa, akahachile yumwi va mnyingendwa va mdala va Mtekechi Mkomi, 67 peamuwonile Peteli akilota lyoto, akamuhumichie meho! Akamlongiye, "Hata veve ukali pamwinga na Yesu Mnasaleti." 68 Ila Peteli akakanile, "Sendichele, vala sendimanya kyeulonga!" Baho Peteli akahegele, akahelela pono pakwiingilila. Baho livisi akawikile. 69 Yula mnyengendwa peamuwonile kangi Peteli, akavanga kangi kuvalongela vanu vevakali vihimile baho, "Munu uyu ndi yumwinga vawo." 70 Peteli akakanila kangi. Pambele ludodo, vanu vevali vihimile baho vakamlongie Peteli, "Ndakyene veve ndi yumwinga vawo, kwakuva veve ndi Mgalilaya." 71 Ila Peteli akavanga kukotola na kwiilapa, akavalongie, "Nene sendimchele munu uyu yemukumlonga njowo lwake." 72 Baho livisi akawikile mala lya uvili. Suwe, Peteli iwikile pealongilwe na Yesu. "Kabula livisi kuwika mala chivili, ukunikanila mala chidatu." Peteli avembile.
