Yohana 19
1 U Bilatus tsi Yesu ni panlan.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
2 Soja ba chan inchon tie na u bi ta chu. Ba ban son ni Yesu nitu nda sru nklon u bi chu niwu.
The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
3 Ba wlu ye niwu, nda tre, “Ndu Irji ziwu gbron nkon, Ichu Yahudawa!” nda wru'u.
And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
4 U Bilatus la kma rju ye ra nda hla, “To mba, mi nji wu ni ye ni yiwu ni ra ndu yi toh ndi mi na vu ni lahtre na.”
Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
5 U Yesu a rju hi ni ra ni nchon tu chu'a ni tuma. Bilatus a tre, “Toyi, ngye ndji'a yi.”
When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 Ni Pristoci bi ninkon-ninkon ma ni bi no chu'a mren ba to Yesu, u ba lu ni tre gbangban me, u du ba giciye wu, ndu ba giciye wu.” U Bilatus hla bawu, “Ban hi giciye, ime me mina to ni lahtre ni kpeti na.”
As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
7 U Yahudawa ba hla niwu, “Ai ki he ni tron, ni du tron abi ni ndu kwu ni tu wa ka tuma tie Vren Irji.”
“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”
8 Wa Bilatus a wo naki na tie sissri kpukpome.
When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
9 Wa la lu ri hi ni trangon, u gona minye Yesu, “U rji ni ntsen?” u Yesu na la sa niwu ngana.
and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
10 U Bilatus tre ni wu, u na sa nimu na? Una to ndi me he ni gbengblen wa mi kpa'u chuwo a na, ni la giciye niwu na?
So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
11 Yesu hla niwu, “Ai u na he ni gbengble na se ka ba no gbengble rji ni shu. Niti ki, indji wa a ka nowu a zan ni lahtre.”
Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”
12 Niwo wu naki, u Bilatus ni wa gon wa ani chuwu chuwo, u Yahudawa ba ba lu tre ngban me andi, “U ta ka guyi chuwo, una ikpan Kaisar na, indji wa a ka tuma tie chu, a kpa Kaisar tsri.”
From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”
13 Ni wa Bilatus a wo bi tre mba wa ba si tre'a, na nji Yesu rju ni hra na kuson ni riron ma ni bubu wa ba yo ndi, tragon u bla tre ni Yahudawa ba yo, “Gabbata.”
When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.
14 U ni vi kima ba mla ki ti ni gben idin u za gran, ni nton krifi tanne mba ni gbengbe rji. Bilatus hla ni Yahudawa “yayi, ingye Ichu mbi!”
It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
15 U ba lu yra gro, ndu ba njiwu hi, ndu ba njiwu hi, ndu ba giciye niwu, Bilatus minye ba, “Mi giciye ni Chu mbi?” Pristoci bi ninkon ba tre, “Kina he ni ichu rina se Kaisar.”
At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.
16 U Bilatus a ka Yesu chuwo ni bawu ni ndu ba hi giciye wu.
Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
17 U ba nji Yesu na hi, na ban giciye'a kima, ni hi ni bubu wa ba yo, “Bubu kwukwu ni Yahudawa mba (Golgota).”
Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
18 U ba giciye niki, ni indji hari bari, iri ni ko ni nhama ko rime, Yesu mba he ni tsutsu.
There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Bilatus mba nha yo gban nitu giciye. Niki ba nha ndi: “YESU U NAZARET, ICHU YAHUDAWA.
Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba krawu igban nitu bubu wa giciye Yesu i whewhre ni mi gbu. Yo gban a he ni l'be Yahudawa, ni Romawa, ni Helenawa.
Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 U Pristoci bi ninkon bi Yahudawa ba ndi, ndu na nha ndi Ichu Yahudawa na, u tre, 'Iwa yi tre ndi, “Ime yi Mi Chu Yahudawa.'””
So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
22 Bilatus tre, “Ikpe wa mi nha mi nha naki.”
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Ni kogon wa soja ba giciye Yesu, u ba ban nklon ma, nda y'ba ga'u tie nhama nzah, ko nha niwu ma, ngbala, u nklon ba na wran na ba ka klo ki klo ni shu ye ni meme.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 U ba hla ni kpamba, kina y'ba nklon na, ye ki ta chacha ni tuma ni to indji wa ani ban wu. Ba tie naki ni ndu lan tre Irji ndu shu wa a tre ndi, “Ba ga nklon Mu ni kpamba, na ta chacha nitu nklon Mu.” Wayi a kpe wa Sojoji ba tie.
So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
25 Iyii Yesu, u vayi yima vren wa, Maryamu iwa Klofas, ni Maryamu Magdaliya ba kri whi ni giciye u Yesu'a.
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
26 Niwa Yesu a toh yima ni vren koh ma wa ani son'a, ba kri whewhre, a hla ni Yi Ma, “Iwa, toh Vren me!”
When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
27 Nda hla ni almajiri, “To, Iyi me!” Rji ni nton kima ivren koh ma a njiwu nda hi ni koh ma.
Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
28 Ni kogon kima, ni toh ndi ko ngyeri a tie kleye, u ni ndu lantre Irji'a he towa ba hla, Yesu a tre ndi, “Hlan mma ni tie Me.”
After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
29 Ni ngbala ko mba imma inabi a he ngbala shu ni gbu lan nda sa yra, u ba ka soso sun ni mi imma inabi wa'a sayra na lowu ni kpala na zu ka sun ni wu ni nyu.
A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
30 Niwa Yesu mah imma wa a sayra, na tre, “A kle.” Na ka tu ma ti grji na chu vri ma.
When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
31 U Yahudawa, ba to a hi vi u mlati mati, bana son ni ndu kpon'a kru ni giciye'a na, ni nton u idin na (idin'a a vi u ndindima) (special), u ba bre Bilatus ni ndu nzi za mba ni grji ba zi.
It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 U soja ba ye nzi za indji u mumla na nzi wu ha waba giciye ba baba Yesu.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.
33 U ba ye nitu Yesu na to nda a kwu ye, u bana nzi za mana.
But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34 Naki me, iri ni mi soja ba, akama na tu bu ni mashi ni san, hihari me iyi mba mma ba rju.
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 Indji wa to iki'a, wawu yi shaida, shaida ma a u njanji. A to ndi ikpe wa a tre a njanji ni ndu yi me kpa nyeme.
The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
36 Ba ti naki ni ndu lantre ma, ndi shu, “kwukwu ma riri me bana mre na.”
Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
37 U lan tre ri tre, “Ba ya indji wa ba t'bu'a.”
And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
38 Ni kogon biyi, Yusufu igu u Arimatiya, wa ahi almajiri Yesu (A riri, nitu sissri Yahudawa) a bre Bilatus ndu wawu gon ndu wawu ban k'mo Yesu. Bilatus no gon, u Yusufu ye ban ik'mo'a.
Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.
39 Nikodimus ngame aye, wa ni mumla a ye ni Yesu ni chu. A nji turare u myrrh mba aloes, a tiewhre lita deri ni ron ma.
Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
40 U ba ban kmo Yesu na nyewu, ni pri ni kpi be nyen whi riro, ni ndu ba rju na wa du Yahudawa he.
So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
41 Ni bubu wa ba giciye niwu la bu ri he niki, ni mi labu'a ibe ri a he ni ki wa bana rju ndrjori to na.
Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
42 Nitu wa a hi vi u mlati-mlati u Yahudawa, ibe'a he whewhre, u ba ka Yesu yo ni mi.
And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
