eng: For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’

abt: Pita Judaské vékulakate Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwat anga wandén, “Talimba nana gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamu Devit gwaaré ras viyaatakandén. Wani gwaaréké anga wanangwa, ‘Sam’.

eng: It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’

abt: Kiyaandéka de Jerusalemmba tékwa akwi du dakwa wanngé kundi vékundarén. Deku kundimba wani képmaaké wandakwa, “Akeldama.” Nana kundimba wanangwa, “Nyéki képmaa wa.”


eng: Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.

abt: Judas kapérandi yapaté yate Jisas maamat kwayétake wa yéwaa kéraandén. Kéraae wani yéwaat wa képmaa kéraandén. Kéraae wani képmaamba wa vaakétndén. Vaakétndéka déku biyaa baawundéka déku yaalé akwi yaalandéka wa kiyaandén.

abt: Wani kudi adél dé yak, Judas wakwatnyédén jébaaké. Déknyényba Jisas wadéka dé wani du Judas naané wale yeyé yeyate dé jébaa yak.” Naate dé Pita wak.


eng: All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

abt: Wani dunyan akwi de dakwa ras sékét, Jisasna aasa Maria déku waayékanjele, wunga de késépéri apu jaawute Gorale kundi bulndarén.


eng: When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

abt: Wulaae yaréndakwa gaa nak rumét waaréndarén. De anga Pita, Jon, Jems, Andru, Filip, Tomas, Bartolomyu, Matyu, Alfiusna nyaan Jems, nak Jemsna nyaan Judas, Saimon. De wunga waare randarén. Wani du Saimon nak gaayé du déku gaayéna du dakwaké néma du témuké wa kalik yandén.


eng: Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

abt: Wani du vétik wunga wambéréka Jisasna dunyan Oliv némbu yaasékatake ayélap yépulak naae Jerusalemét waambule wulaandarén.


eng: who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

abt: Téte anga wambérén, “Guno, Galili dunyan, wamba téte nyérét yaasawure véké yambak. Got wandéka Jisas guné yaasékatake wa Gotna gaayét waaréndén. Waaréndéka wa véngunén. Véngunén yaambumba male wa Jisas nakapuk waambule gaayakandékwa.” Naambérén.


eng: But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

abt: Anga ma vékulakangunék. Gotna Yaamambi guna mawulémba wulaae randu Got gunat mayé apa kwayéndu guné apamama yate wunéké kundi kwayékangunéngwa. Jerusalemmba tékwa du dakwa, Judia provinsmba tékwa akwi du dakwa, Samaria distrikmba tékwa du dakwa, képmaana akwi taalémba tékwa du dakwat kundi kwayékangunéngwa wunéké.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

abt: Wunga waatakundaka Jisas anga wandén, “Yamba wa. Wuna aapa Got déku kapmang wa wakandékwa, néma du raké yangunéngwanngé. Wan déku jémbaa wa. Guné waké yandékwa sapakngé katik vékusékngé guné. Got wunga wa wandén. Guné wani sapakngé vékulakaké yambak.


eng: Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”

abt: Jisasna dunyan dale kundi bulte dat anga wandarén, “Néman Du, méné waménu nané Israel dunyan nakapuk akwi genge gaayé du dakwaké néma du tékanangwa, nana gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamu Devit talimba téndén pulak. Bulaa wunga waké méné kapuk?”


eng: For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

abt: Talimba baptais kwayétan du Jon du dakwat Gotna yémba baptais kwayéndén. Nyaa vétik kupuk yare Got déku Yaamambi gunat kwayékandékwa. Kwayéndu déku Yaamambi guna mawulémba wulaae rakandékwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.

abt: Kwayétake dele téte nakapuk det anga wandén, “Guné Jerusalem yaasékaké yambak. Wamba yaréte wuna aapana Yaamambiké ma kaavéréngunu. Talimba wuna aapa wa wandén, déku Yaamambi kwayéké yandékwanngé. Wuné waak déké wa gunat wawutén. Ma kaavéréngunu.


eng: To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.

abt: Talimba Jisas kaangél kure wa kiyaandén. Kiyaae kukmba taamale waarape déku dunyanngé yéndén. Nyaa dumi vétik (40) dé nakapuk deké yéndén. Ye dele téte késpulak nakpulak apanjémba yandéka véténdaka kundi kwayéndéka vékute anga wandarén, “Kiyaae taamale waarape wa randékwa.

eng: until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

abt: Talimba Jisas déku dunyansat wandén, déku kundi kure yéndarénngé. Dé wandéka Gotna Yaamambi apamama yate wani dunyansat wandén, Jisasna jémbaa yandarénngé. Wandéka kukmba Got wandéka Jisas waaréndén Gotna gaayét. Wani muséké wa viyaatakawutén.


eng: The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

abt: Méné Tiofilus, ani nyéngaa ménéké a viyaatakawutékwa. Talimba nak nyéngaamba Jisas yan akwi jémbaa, Jisas wan akwi kundiké waak wa viyaatakawutén.


eng: There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

abt: Jisas yan nak jémbaa némaamba wa rakésékwa. Yawuréndén jémbaa akwi yamba viyaatakawutékwe wa. Du ras Jisas yawuréndén jémbaaké akwi viyaataka-munaandaru, wa viyaandarén nyéngaa ani képmaamba vékulékndu akwi nyéngaaké taalé katik tékatik dé. Wunga vékulakawutékwa.


eng: This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.

eng: This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”

abt: Jisas wunga wandéka déku jémbaamba gwaandan dunyan ras wani duké anga wandarén, “Dé katik kiyaaké dé.” Naandarén. Wandaka dé kiyaakapuk yamuké Jisas Pitat yamba wandékwe wa.

eng: Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”

abt: Wunga waatakundéka Jisas wa wan, “Dé yaréndénngé wamunaawutu wa dé waambule yaaké yawutékwa sapakngé kaavéré-kandékwa. Wan déku jémbaa wa. Méné wani muséké vékulakambak. Ménékét méné wuna jémbaa ma yaménék.” Naandén.


eng: Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”

abt: Pita dat vétake Jisasét wandén, “Néman Du, wani du dé yénga pulak dé?”


eng: Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”

abt: Jisas wunga waténdéka Pita kukét waalakwe véndén bérku kukmba Jisas déku mawulé yasékéyakndékwa du yaaténdéka. Talimba Jisasale kakému karéte dé wa dat anga waatakwan, “Néman Du, kandé kwayékwate yo, méné ména maamat?” Wunga waatakundén talimba.


eng: Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

abt: Wunga wate Pita viyaandékngé yandakwanngé wa wani kundi wandén. Pita viyaandék-ndaru kiyaae Gotna yé kavérék-ngandékwa. Wanngé wa Jisas wandén. Watake nakapuk Pitat anga wandén, “Méné wuna jémbaa ma yaménék.” Naandén Jisas Pitat.


eng: Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”

abt: “Ma véku. Ménat a wawutékwa. Méné biyaku du téte wa laplap giye yéké mawulé yaménéngwa taalat yeyé yaayatéménéngwa. Sérémaa méné aanyapa ye ména taamba kavérékménu nak du wa ménéké laplap gitakaké yakwa. Gitake yéké kalik yaménéngwa taalat méné kurikandakwa. Yi wan wanana wa.” Naandén.


eng: He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

abt: Naatake nakapuk anga wandén, “Jonna nyaan Saimon, wunéké méné néma mawulé yo kapuk?” Wunga apu kupuk waatakundéka déku mawulé kapére yan. Yandéka kapére mawulé vékute Jisasét wandén, “Néman Du, méné akwi du dakwana mawulé wa vésékwuréménéngwa. Yate wuné waak wa vésékménéngwa. Ménéké néma mawulé yawutékwa.” Naandéka wandén Jisas, “Wuna sipsipét kakému ma kwayéménu.”


eng: He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”

abt: Wunga watake nakapuk anga wandén, “Jonna nyaan Saimon, wunéké méné néma mawulé yasékéyaku kapuk?” Naandéka wandén, “Yi. Néman Du, wa vékusékménéngwa. Ménéké néma mawulé yawutékwa.” Wunga wandéka Jisas anga wandén, “Méné wuna sipsipké kurkasale ma véménu.” Naandén.


eng: So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”

abt: Bret kwaamiale katake Jisas Saimon Pitat anga wandén, “Jonna nyaan Saimon, méné ma véku. A tékwa dunyan de wunéké néma mawulé wa yandakwa. Yandaka méné det taalékére wunéké néma mawulé méné yasékéyaku kapuk?” Wunga waatakundéka wandén, Pita, “Yi, Néman Du, wa vékusékménéngwa. Wuné ménéké néma mawulé wa yawutékwa.” Naandéka Jisas wa wan, “Méné wuna sipsip nyaanét kakému ma kwayéménu.” Naandén. Wunga wate gwaaménja kundi wa wandén, Pita Jisasna kundi Jisasna du dakwat kwayéndénngé.


eng: Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

abt: Jisas yaae bret kéraae det kwayéndén. Kwaami waak wunga male yandén.


eng: Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.

abt: Yandéka Jisas det anga wandén, “Ma yaae kangunu.” Naandéka du nak dat anga yamba waatakundékwe wa, “Méné kandé?” Wunga yamba waatakundékwe wa. Wa vésékndarén. Wan dé deku Néman Du wa.


eng: Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

abt: Naandéka Saimon Pita botmba waare aaswut nak tambékmba kéraae kure gaaye wutépét kure waaréndén. Néma kwaami késépéri (153) wa wutmba kwaakésén. Kwaandaka aaswut yamba téke wa.


eng: So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.

abt: De ye saambake véndarén yaa nak yaanréndéka. Kwaamiale brerale yaamba yaanran.


eng: But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

abt: Gu wutépale téndarén. Kulémba yamba wa (100 mita pulak wa). Dé yéndéka de botmba yéte aaswut kwaamiale témbétlaakét kure yéndarén.


eng: That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

abt: Yate Saimon Pita Jisasna mawulé yasékéyakndékwa duwat wandén, “Wan nana Néman Du dé.” Wandéka vékutake Pita jémbaa yaké laarindén laplap nakapuk saawundén. Saawuwe guat daawulindén.


eng: He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

abt: Naandaka det anga wandén, “Guna yékutuwa sakumba aaswut vaanjande wani kwaami ras wurékangunéngwa.” Wunga wandéka aaswut vaanjandandaka kwaami aaswutmba némaamba gwaandéndaka témbére kure yaalaké yapatindarén.


eng: Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

abt: Yandaka det anga waandén, “Nyambalésé, kwaami ras guné wurak?” Wunga waatakundéka wandarén, “Yamba wa.”


eng: But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.

abt: Ganmba nyaa yaalaké yaténdéka Jisas yaae néma gu kwaawu wutépmba téndén. Téndéka déku dunyansé de botmba rate dat véte yamba vésékndakwe, dé.


eng: Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

abt: Saimon Pita det anga wandén, “Wuna yékwa kwaami taawuwe wuréké.” Naandéka dat wandarén, “Nané waak ménale yékanangwa.” Wunga watake akwi ye botmba nak waaréndarén. Waare botmba ye wani gaan akwi jémbaa ye kwaami ras yamba wuréndakwe wa.


eng: Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

abt: Saimon Pita, Tomas, déku nak yé Didimus, Kana du Nataniel, Sebedina nyaan vétik, Jisasna nak du vétik, wunga téndarén wani néma gu kwaawu wutépmba. Natanielna gaayé Kana Galili distrikmba tékwa.


eng: After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

abt: Kukmba Jisasna dunyan ras Taiberias waandakwa néma gu kwaawu wutépmba téndaka Jisas nakapuk yaandén, deké.


eng: but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

abt: Ani viyaawutén nyéngaa véte Jisaské yékunmba vékulaka-ngunénngé wa viyaatakawutén. Guné anga wangunénngé wa mawulé yawutékwa, “Dé wan nanat yékun yandénngé Got wan du Krais wa.

eng: Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

abt: Jisas talimba vékapuk yandarén kulé apanjémba késépéri ras waak yandén. Déku dunyansale yatéte deku ménimba wa yawuréndén. Yandén jémbaaké akwi pulak yamba viyaawutékwe wa ani nyéngaamba.


eng: Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

abt: Wunga wandéka wandén Jisas, “Méné wuné vétake wa wunéké yékunmba vékulaka-ménéngwa. De wuné vékapuk ye wunéké yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwa, de mawulé tawulé yénga yandaru.” Naandén Jisas Tomasét.


eng: Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

abt: Wandéka Tomas Jisaské yékunmba vékulakate wandén, “Méné wuna Néman Du Got wa.” Naandén.


eng: After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.”

abt: Nyaa taambak kaayék kupuk yare Jisasna dunyansé nakapuk gaamba yaréndarén. Tomas sékét yaréndarén. Akwi pété kétaakwure vatpange rakésndaka Jisas wulaae deku nyéndémba téndén. Téte anga wandén, “Guna mawulé yékunmba yénga téndu. Guné wup yakwate yambak.”


eng: The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

abt: Yatake Jisasna ras dunyansé Tomas vétake anga wandarén, “Nana Néman Du Jisas kiyaae nakapuk taamale waarapndéka a vénanén.” Naandaka wandén Tomas, “Wuné déku taamba raaményét baangndarén vétake, wuna séktamba raamény wulaan wani katakmba kusolate, déku maalémba viyaandarénmba wuna taamba kusolamunaate, wa guna kundi yékunmba vékukatik wuté. Yamba wa, guna kundi katik vékuké wuté.” Naandén Tomas.


eng: But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.

abt: Jisas déku dunyanséké ye deku nyéndémba téndékwa sapak, déku du nak yamba yaréndékwe wa dele. Déku yé Tomas. Déku nak yé Didimus.


eng: If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”

abt: Waga watakne dé déku yaamabi naanat yapévute dé naanat wak, “Guné Gotna Yaamabi nyégélké guné yo.

eng: Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

abt: Yandaka det nakapuk anga wandén, “Guna mawulé yékunmba yénga téndu. Wuna aapa wandéka déku jémbaa yamuké a yaawutén. Wandén pulak wuné wawutu, wa wuna jémbaa yaké yékangunéngwa.” Naandén.


eng: When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

abt: Wunga wate déku taamba, maalé vit viyaandarén waak det wakwasnyéndén. Wakwasnyéndéka de Néman Du Jisasét véte mawulé tawulé yandarén.


eng: When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

abt: De Jisasna dunyansé Judana néma duké wup ye yaréndarén gaana akwi pété kétaakwuréndarén. Sande nyaa daawulindéka Jisas yaae deku nyéndémba téndén. Téte det anga wandén, “Guna mawulé yékunmba yénga téndu. Guné wup yakwate yambak.” Naandén.


eng: Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

abt: Wunga wandéka vékutake Makdala taakwa Maria yaae Jisasna dunyansat walén, “Wuné nana Néman Du wa véwutén.” Naalén. Wunga watake Jisas wani wan kundi det walén.


eng: Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

abt: Maria wunga waléka Jisas anga wandén, “Nyéné wunat kurké yambak. Wuna aapaké wayéka waarékapuk téwutékwa. Nyéné ye wuna dunyansat anga ma wanyénék, ‘Dé déku aapa guna aapa Gorké waarékandékwa.’ Det wunga ma wanyénék.”


eng: Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”

abt: Wunga waléka Jisas lat wandén, “Maria.” Naandéka lé waalakwe dé vésékte dat Hibruna kundimba anga walén, “Rabonai.” Naalén. Wani kundi nana kundimba anga wandékwa, “Méné Gotna kundiké yakwasnyékwa du.”


eng: Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

abt: Yaléka Jisas lat anga wandén, “Nyéno, kamuké nyéné géraau? Kandéké nyéné waaku?” Wunga waatakundéka Maria léku mawuléké walén, “Wan ani taaléké séngite yarékwa du dé kapuk?” Wunga vékulakate dat anga walén, “Méno, dé méné kéraae kure yék kapuk? Kure yémunaaménan, wani taakaménén taalé ma waménu wuné ye dé kéraae kure yékawutékwa.” Naalén.


eng: They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”

abt: Rate Mariat wambérén, “Nyéno, kamuké nyéné géraau?” Wunga waatakumbéréka bérét walén, “Wuna Néman Du wa kéraae kurindarén. Kuriye taakandarén taalé yamba véwutékwe wa.”


eng: But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

abt: Maria kaapamba téte géraatélén.


eng: So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

abt: Randéka véndén. Véténdéka wa dé taale yaan wani nak du, dé waak wulaan. Wulaae vétake anga wandén, “Jisas wa nakapuk taamale waarapén. Yi wan wanana wa.”


eng: and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

abt: Jisasna maakamba gindarén laplap waak véndén, randéka. Wani laplap nak laplapale sékét yamba randékwe wa. Dékét kapmang ran.


eng: Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

abt: Saimon Pita déku kukmba ye wa Jisasna pusaa taakandarén kwaawumba wulaandén. Wulaae véndén pusaamba saapndarén laplap randéka.


eng: Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in.

abt: Saambake kwaatambe yaasole véndén, Jisasna pusaamba saapndarén wani laplap male randéka. Vétake yamba wulaandékwe wa, wani taalat.


eng: Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

abt: Ané Pita wale véknwutakne gayé kulaknyénytakne ané Jisasna gaaba ségwi taknadan waagwat pétépété yék.


eng: They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.

abt: Ye Jisasna wani nak du Pitat taalékératake dé taale yén. Taale ye Jisasna pusaa taakandarén kwaawumba saambakndén.


eng: Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”

abt: Vétake Saimon Pita ambét Jisasna du, déku mawulé yasékéyakndékwa baan du témbéréka bérké pétépété yélén. Ye bérét anga walén, “Nana Néman Du wa kéraae kure yéndarén. Kuriye taakandarén taalé yamba vénangwe wa.” Naalén.


eng: Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

abt: Sande, yé gérké yaténdéka Makdala taakwa Maria waarape Jisasna pusaa taakandarén taalat yélén, wayéka yé télaaténdéka. Ye vélén. Wani kwaawumba kétaakndarén matu yamba re wa.


eng: Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.

abt: Judana Pasova waandakwa néma nyaa yaaké yandéka wa bét Jisasna pusaa kure ye wulaae wani kwaawumba taakambérén. Pasova waandakwa nyaa de Judasé kiyaan du kwaawumba katik taakaké daré.


eng: Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

abt: Jisas takwemimba baangndarén taalale miyé taawundarén yaawi nak wamba tan. Wani taalémba du kiyaandu rémngé vaandarén kulé kwaawu nak tan. Wani kwaawumba kiyaan du nak yamba taakandakwe wa talimba. Wani kwaawu apakmba yamba te wa.


eng: So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

abt: Wani du vétik Jisasna pusaa kéraae kure gaayambérén. Kure gaaye Judasé du rémngé yate yandakwa pulak, yéku yaama yakwa mungu pusaamba kuttake waama laplapét saapmbérén.


eng: Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

abt: Yéndéka Nikodemus dale sékét yéndén. Talimba gaan nak dé Jisaské yéndén, dale kundi bulké. Wani du dé yéku yaama yakwa mungu vétik kéraae nakurakmba kusangwande kure yéndén. Wani mungu asa vaak wa yandékwa (30 kilo pulak).


eng: After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

abt: Romna waariyakwa dunyansé wunga yandaka Arimatea du Josep ye Pailarét waatakundén, Jisasna pusaa kéraamuké. Josep wan dé Jisasna du nak wa. Dé Judana nak néma dunyanséké wup yate dé Jisaské yékunmba vékulaka-ndékwanngé paakute wa anga wandén, “Jisas wan Gotna nyaan wa. Yi wan wanana wa.” Wunga wate dé Jisaské yékunmba vékulakaréndén. Josep waatakundéka Pailat yi naandéka, yéndén Jisasna pusaa kéraaké.


eng: For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

abt: Waariyakwa du waga yadaka Gotna nyégaba kwaakwa kudi vétik adél dé yak. Wani kudi nak kéga: Déku apa nak mukmarék yaké de yo.


eng: Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

abt: Nak baan kundi anga wa: Vit viyaandarén duwat téte vétékandakwa. Wani sapak wa wani kundi sékérékén. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

abt: Gaayandéka Jisasna du nak wa vén. Wani véndén muséké wa kundi kwayéndékwa guné Jisaské yékunmba vékulaka-ngunénngé. Wani wandékwa kundi wan papukundi yamba wa. Wan yéku kundi wa. Yi wan wanana wa. Wa vékusékndékwa.


eng: However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

abt: Yandaka Romna waariyakwa du nak wa Jisasna maalémba vit viyaan. Viyaandéka nyékiale guale bari vaakwe gaayan.


eng: but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

abt: Yatake Jisaské ye véndarén dé wa kiyaasékéyakén. Vétake déku maan yamba viyaamukndakwe wa.


eng: Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;

abt: Wunga wandaka Pailat waariyakwa dunyansat watakandéka ye Jisasale takwemimba baangndarén wani du vétikna maan viyaamukndarén.


eng: Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

abt: Judana néma dunyansé Pasova waandakwa néma nyaa yaké mawulé yate anga wandarén, “Séré yaap yaré nyaa wa. Wan nana néma nyaa wa. Séré deku pusaa takwemimba katik tésékéyakngé daré.” Naate Pailarét wandarén, “Ma waménu guna dunyansé wani takwemimba baangndarén duna maan viyaamukndaru. Viyaamukndaru de bari kiyaandaru bukét deku pusaa kuriye rémndarék.”


eng: When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

abt: Kusoréndaka Jisas wani wain kulak katake wandén, “Wa késkwa, yaak.” Wunga watake waandé daae wunga kiyaandén.


eng: After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”

abt: Jisas waga watakne dé kutdéngék. Déku jébaa débu yabutik. Kutdéngte dé wak, “Wunat gutak yadéka wuné.” Naate dé wak. Déknyényba Gotna nyégaba du nak dé kavik, Jisasnyét gutak yaranké. Kavidéka Jisas waga wadéka wani kudi adél dé yak.


eng: Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

abt: Jisas takwemimba baangndarénmba kulak tundakwa aké nak taakandaka tan. Wani akémba nyéngi yakwa wain kulak ras wa amba tan. Téndéka solwaramba kwaan nyambiyap pulak musé kure yaae wani wain kulakmba taawundarén. Taawundaka gumbés yandéka mingalé nakmba maaye kusoré-kwayéndarén, Jisas wani wain kulak kandénngé.


eng: Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

abt: Wunga watake wani déku mawulé yasékéyakndékwa duwat wandén, “Lé wan ména aasa pulak wa.” Naandéka lé we kure yéndén, déku gaat. Kuriye lé déku aasat kurkale yapulak, wa lat yékun yandén.


eng: Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”

abt: Téndaka Jisas déku mawulé yasékéyakndékwa du dé waak wamba téndén Jisasna aasale. Témbéréka bérét vétake Jisas déku aasat anga wandén, “Maria, dé wan nyéna nyaan pulak wa.”


eng: But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

abt: Jisas baangndarén takwemiale dakwasé ras wamba tékésndarén. De Jisasna aasa Maria, léku waayéka, Klopasna taakwa Maria, Makdala taakwa Maria wunga tékésndarén.


eng: Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

abt: Waariyakwa dunyansé wani yéku laplapét vétake wandarén, “Ani laplap katik gérikngé nané. Satu pilai yananu taalékérana baan wani laplap kéraakandékwa.” Wunga watake yandaka du nak wa taalékéran. Wani du wa kéraan laplap. Kéraandéka Gotna nyéngaamba kwaakwa kundi wa sékérékén. Wani kundi anga wandékwa: Satu pulak pilai ye taalékéran baan wa wuna laplap nak kéraan. Wuna laplap ras muni waate nak nak kéraandarén.


eng: Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

abt: Romna waariyakwa dunyan vétik vétik wa Jisas takwemimba baangén. Yatake déku laplap kéraae dekét deku kapmang muni waatandarén. Ye nak nak kéraandarén. Kéraate déku yéku laplap yamba muni waatandakwe wa. Wani laplap talimba wunga sékéri yandarén wa. Talimba yamba samapndakwe wa.


eng: Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

abt: Naandaka Pailat wa wan, “Yénga yakét. Wuné viyaatakawutén pulak wunga tékwak. Nak kundi nak katik viyaaké wuté.” Naandén.


eng: The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”

abt: Vétake Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa Judaséna néma dunyan ye Pailarét anga wandarén, “Judaséna néma du wa. Wunga viyaatakambak. Anga ma viyaatakaménék, ‘Ani du anga wandén, Wuné Judaséna néma du a.’ Wunga viyaataka.”


eng: Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

abt: Pailat wani kundi Hibruna kundimba, Romna kundimba, Grikna kundimba waak akwi wunga male viyaatakandén. Jisas takwemimba baangndarén wani taalé Judana néma gaayé tékwanmba wa téndékwa. Téndéka wa némaamba Judasé wani kundi véndarén.


eng: Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

abt: Pailat viyaatakan kundi nak Jisas baangndarén takwemina waambumba anjoré baangtakandarén. Anga viyaandén: Nasaret du Jisas. Judana néma du wa.


eng: where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

abt: Wani taalémba wa Romna waariyakwa dunyansé Jisas takwemimba baangndarén. Du vétik waak takwemimba baangndarén. Nak akituwa sakumba. Nak yékutuwa sakumba. Témbéréka Jisas baangndarén takwemi nyéndémba téndén.


eng: So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

abt: Wunga wandaka Pailat Judana néma dunyanna kundi vékutake Romna waariyakwa dunyansat watakandéka Jisas takwemimba baangtakaké kure yéndarén.


eng: Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”

abt: Wani nyaa Judasé Pasova waandakwa paatna musé asé kéraae waawatndarén. Nyaa naawure kayéndéng téndéka Pailat néma duna jaambémba rate Judasat anga wandén, “Anga vé guna néma duwat.”


eng: When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”

abt: Pailat wani kundi vékutake Romna néma duwale maama yamuké kalik yate wa watakandéka Jisas kure yaalandarén. Kure yaale taakandaka Pailat kot vékundékwa néma duna jaambémba randén. Wani jaambéké wandarén, Matut yandarén jaambé. Hibruna kundimba wandarén, Gabata.


eng: At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

abt: Pailat wani kundi vékutake Jisas baka yékunmba yéndénngé mawulé yandén. Yate Juda dunyansat wandén, wandaru Jisas baka yékunmba yéndénngé. Wandéka de némaanmba waate anga wandarén, “Dé wani du wa wan, ‘Wuné nak néma duwat taalékére néma du a téwutékwa.’ Wunga wate dé Romna néma duwat taalékéraké wate yandékwa. Yate dé Romna néma duna maama wa. Méné waak dé baka yékunmba yéndénngé wamunaate, wan méné waak Romna néma duna maama wa.” Naandarén.


eng: Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

abt: Naandéka Jisas anga wandén, “Got ménat mayé apa kwayékapuk yamunaandu, méné amba néma du katik rakatik méné. Wunat ména taambamba taakan du, dé néma kapéremusé wa yandén. Méné yakwate yakwa kapéremusé makal wa. Dé yan kapéremusé wa taalékéran, némaan wa.” Naandén.


eng: Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”

abt: Wakapuk yandéka Pailat wa wan, “Yénga pulak yandéka méné wunale kundi bulkapuk yo? Wuné wawutu wa yékun yékaménéngwa baka. Wuné wawutu wa méné takwemimba baang-ngandakwa. Wuné ani gaayéna néma du a. Wanngé yamba vékuménéngwe, yi?”


eng: He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

abt: Yatéte nakapuk waambule gaat wulaandén. Wulaae wandéka Jisas nakapuk gaat wulaandéka anga waatakundén, “Méné yani gaayé méné?” Wunga waatakundéka Jisas yamba wandékwe wa kundi nak.


eng: When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

abt: Wandaka Pailat wani kundi vékutake déku mawuléké anga wandén, “Ani du an Gotna nyaan dé kapuk?” Wunga vékulakate wupké kiyaaténdén.


eng: When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”

abt: Naandéka Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa dunyanséna néma dunyansale, polisale Jisasét véte némaanmba waate anga wandarén, “Dé takwemimba ma baangtaka. Dé takwemimba ma baangtaka.” Naandaka Pailat det anga wandén, “Yamba wa. Dé yan kapérandi musé nak yamba véwutékwe wa. Gunékét guna kapmang ma kuriye dé takwemimba baangtakangunu.” Naandén.


eng: Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”

abt: Wunga wandéka wa Jisas yaalan, wani raamény baangwi hat pulak déku maakamba kwaandéka. Saawutakandarén gwaavé laplap waak déku sépémba kwaan. Yaalandéka Pailat wa wan, “Ani duwat ma vé.”


eng: Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

abt: Yandaka gwaande Judasat anga wandén Pailat, “Ma vé. Dé gunéké kuriyaalawutékwa, ve vékusékngunénngé. Dé kapérandi musé nak yamba yandékwe wa.”


eng: They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.

abt: Yatake dat wasélékte waangindarén. Yate dat anga wandarén, “Méno, Judaséna néma du, méné yaro?” Wunga wate taambat taakumbondarén.


eng: The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

abt: Viyaatake anga wandarén, “Néma dusé de gwaavé laplap saawuwe yéku hat wa saapndakwa.” Wunga wate raamény baangwi kéraae hat pulak nyéwayékwe déku maakamba taakandarén. Taakatake gwaavé laplap saawutakandarén.


eng: So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.

abt: Juda dunyansé wunga wandaka Pailat watakandéka Romna waariyakwa dunyansé Jisasét raamény baangwit viyaandarén.


eng: But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

abt: Akwi kwaaré Pasova waangunéngwa nyaa wunat wangunéngwa, kalapusmba kwaakwa du nak wawutu yaale baka yékun yéndénngé. Bulaa Judana néma duwat wawutu gwaandéndénngé guné mawulé yo kapuk?”


eng: Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.

abt: Naandéka anga waatakundén, “Yénga baan yéku kundiké anga waké nané, ‘Yi wan wanana wa.’ Naaké nané?” Naandén Pailat Jisasét. Pailat wunga watake Juda dunyanséké nakapuk gwaandéndén. Gwaande det anga wandén, “Ani du kapéremusé nak yamba yandékwe wa.


eng: Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

abt: Wunga wandéka anga waatakundén, “Méné néman du nak méné kapuk?” Wunga waatakundéka wandén, “Wa ménékét ména kapmang wa wunga waménéngwa. Wuné anga wawutékwa, ‘Yéku kundi waké wa gaayawutén ani képmaat. Yi wan wanana wa.’ Wani kundi bulwuténngé wa aasa wuné kéraalén. Yéku kundi vékukwa du dakwa wa vékukwa, wuna kundi.”


eng: Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”

abt: Wunga waatakundéka Jisas wa wan, “Wuné ani képmaana néma du ramunaawutu, wa wuna dunyansé waariyandaru wuné kuriye Juda dunyanét katik kwayékatik daré. Bulaa wuné ani képmaana néma du yamba rawutékwe wa.” Naandén.


eng: Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”

abt: Wunga waatakundéka wandén, “Wuné Juda du yamba wa. Wuné méné yamba vésékwutékwe wa. Ména gaayé dunyansé de Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa dunyanséna néma dunyansale waak, de wa méné kure yaan wunéké. Kamu yaménénga daré kuriyaak?”


eng: Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”

abt: Wunga waatakundéka wandén, “Ménékét ména kapmang vékulakate méné wani kundi wo? Kapuk nak du wunéké wandaka méné waatakwo?” Naandén.


eng: Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

abt: Wunga wandaka Pailat nakapuk gaat waambule wulaae rate Jisasét waandéka wulaandén. Wulaandéka dat anga waatakundén, “Méné Judana néman du méné kapuk?”


eng: that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

abt: Talimba Jisas takwemimba kiyaaké yandékwanngé kundi kwayéndén. Kwayéte Romsé viyaandék-ngwanngé wandén. Romna néma du ras watakandaka kapéremusé yan duwat takwemimba baangndaka kiyaandarén. Judasé wunga yamba viyaandékndakwe wa du nakét. Wani dunyansé Pailarét wunga wandaka wa Jisas wani sapak wandén kundi wa sékérékén.


eng: Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”

abt: Naandaka Pailat wa wan, “Guné dé ma kure ye gunékét guna kapmang bule guné kotimngé ya, guna apakundi wakwa pulak vékute.” Naandéka de Judasé wa wan, “Talimba guné Rom nanat anga wangunén, ‘Guné watakangunu kapéremusé yan duwat katik kotime dé viyaandékngé daré.’ Naangunén. Nané wani kundi vékute Jisasét viyaandarénngé katik waké nané.” Naandarén Judasé.


eng: They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”

abt: Naandéka anga wandarén, “Wani du kapéremusé wa yandén. Dé kapéremusé yakapuk yandu, wa dé ménéké katik kure yaakatik nané.”


eng: Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”

abt: Yatake kaapamba téndaka Romna néma du Pailat gwaande det anga wandén, “Ani duwat kamuké kotimngé guné?”


eng: They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

abt: Ganmbamba Kaiafas yaasékatake Jisas kure Romna néma duna gaat yéndarén. Yéndaka Juda dunyansé anga wandarén, “Nana apakundi anga wandékwa, ‘Nané nak gaayé duna gaat wulaamunaananu, wa Got wakandékwa nanat, “Wan kapéremusé wa yangunén. Pasova waanangwa paatna kakému katik kaké guné.” Naakandékwa.’ Wani kundi vékute nané wulaakapuk ye, wa garambu Pasova waanangwa paatna kakému kakanangwa.” Naatake wani kakému kaké mawulé yate wa Romna néma duna gaat yamba wulaandakwe wa.


eng: Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

abt: Wunga wandéka Pita nakapuk wandén, “Yamba yé wa.” Wunga waké naaténdéka séraa waan.


eng: One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”

abt: Wunga wandéka dékét Pita waan satékyasnyéndén wani duna kémna du nak wamba te vékundén. Dé waak jémbaa wa yaténdén, Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa akwi dunyanséna néma dumba. Vékutake dat anga wandén, “Somba miyé taawundarén yaawimba Jisasale téngunénga ménat wuté vék kapuk?”


eng: Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”

abt: Saimon Pita déku sépé yaamba gwaante wamba tépékaandén, yaa yaantanmba. Téndéka vétake anga wandarén, “Méné waak méné Jisasna du nakmu kiya?” Wunga waatakundaka wandén, “Wuné yamba yé wa.”


eng: Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

abt: Naandéka wa Anas watakandéka Jisas kure yéndarén, Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa akwi dunyanna néma du Kaiafaské. Jisasét gindarén baangwi wunga kwaapékandéka wa dé kurindarén.


eng: Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”

abt: Naandéka Jisas wa wan, “Wuné kundi sépélak wamunaawutu, méné wani sépélak wawutén kundi ma wa. Wuné yéku kundi wawutéka kamuké méné baka viyaak?”


eng: When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”

abt: Wunga wandéka polis nak wamba téte Jisasét saawimba viyaate anga wandén, “Akwi néma dunyanna néma duwat wunga wakwate yambak.”


eng: Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”

abt: Kamuké méné wunat waatakwo? Wuna kundi vékwan du dakwat ma waataku. Wawutén kundi wa vékundarén. Vékundarénngé ménat wakandakwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

abt: Waatakundéka Jisas wa wan, “Wuné kaapamba, akwi du dakwana ménimba téte wa det kundi kwayétéwutén. Gotna kundi bulnangwa gaamba, Gotna kundi bulnangwa néma gaamba waak téte wa du dakwat kundi kwayétéwutén. Wuné paakwe yakélak yamba kundi kwayéwutékwe wa.


eng: The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

abt: Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa akwi dunyanséna néma du Jisasét waatakundén, Jisasna dunyanséké. Yate nak duwat kwayéndén kundiké waak waatakundén.


eng: Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

abt: Wunga waatakuléka Pita wa wan, “Wuné yamba wa.” Naatake ye jémbaa yakwa dunyansé polisale téndarénmba wamba sékét téndén. Yaa takamba wa yamungandarén, yépmaa yandéka. Pita yépmaa yandéka déku sépé gwaanngé wa dele yaamba téndén.


eng: Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”

abt: Wandéka lé pétémba vétékwa taakwa gwaande Pitat we kure wulaate dat anga waatakulén, “Méné Jisasna du nakmu kiya?”


eng: but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.

abt: De Jisasnyét kure yédaka ané Saimon Pita wale déku kukba yék. Ye ané nyédé duna némaan banna ga saabak. Wani némaan ban dé wunat kutdéngék. Kutdéngdéka wuné Jisasna kukba ye wuné némaan banna gat wulaak. Wulaawuréka Pita kaapaba dé ték. Tédéka wuné gwaade gwéspétéba tékwa taakwat wak, Pitat wakwelu yaaladuké.


eng: Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

abt: Kaiafas talimba Judaséna néma dunyansat anga wandén, “Rom dunyansé du nakét viyaandaru kiyaamunaae, wa nané Judasat yékun yakandékwa. Dé kiyaamunaandu, Romsé nanat katik viyaaké daré. Wan yékun wa.” Naandén Kaiafas.


eng: and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

abt: Giye Anaské kure yéndarén. Anas wan Kaiafasna naakumo wa. Wani kwaaré Kaiafas Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa akwi dunyanna néma du wa téndén.


eng: So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,

abt: Jisas wunga wandéka Romna waariyakwa dunyan ras, deku néma du, Judana polis ras, de wunga dé kulkiye baangwit gindarén.


eng: Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”

abt: Yandéka Jisas Pitat anga wandén, “Méné wunga yaké yambak. Ména kulaa ma waanda kulaa waandaménéngwa wutmba. Wuné kaangél kure wuna aapa tiyaan jémbaa yamuké wa yi naawutén.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”

abt: Wunga wandéka takamba wandén ani kundi wa sékérékén. “Wunat tiyaaménén dumba nak yamba lambiyake wa.” Naandén.


eng: Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”

abt: Naandaka Jisas anga wandén det, “Wuné anana. Gunat wa wawutén. Wunéké waakmunaate wa wuna ani dunyansé ma taaka, baka yéndaru.”


eng: Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
