Yohana 19
1 U Bilatus tsi Yesu ni panlan.
Then Pilate took Jesus, and scourged Him.
2 Soja ba chan inchon tie na u bi ta chu. Ba ban son ni Yesu nitu nda sru nklon u bi chu niwu.
And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, placed it on His head, and put on Him a purple robe;
3 Ba wlu ye niwu, nda tre, “Ndu Irji ziwu gbron nkon, Ichu Yahudawa!” nda wru'u.
and came to Him and continued to say, Hail, King of the Jews! and they gave Him slaps.
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.”
Again Pilate went out, and speaks to them, Behold, I lead Him out to you, in order that you may know that I find no fault.
5 U Yesu a rju hi ni ra ni nchon tu chu'a ni tuma. Bilatus a tre, “Toyi, ngye ndji'a yi.”
Then Jesus came out, bearing the thorny crown and purple robe. And he says to them, Behold, 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.”
Then when the high priest and officers saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him, crucify Him. Pilate says to them, You take Him, and crucify Him: for I find nothing criminal in 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.”
And the Jews responded, We have a law, and according to law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.
8 Wa Bilatus a wo naki na tie sissri kpukpome.
Then when Pilate heard this word, he feared the more;
9 Wa la lu ri hi ni trangon, u gona minye Yesu, “U rji ni ntsen?” u Yesu na la sa niwu ngana.
then he went again into the judgment hall, and speaks to Jesus, Whence art thou? And Jesus gave him 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?
Pilate says to Him, Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and I have power 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 responded, Thou hast no power against me, unless it was given to thee from above: on this account the one having betrayed me to thee has the 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.”
After this Pilate still sought to release Him: but the Jews continued to cry out, saying, If you release Him, you are not the friend of Caesar: every one making himself king speaks against 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.”
Then Pilate hearing these words, led out Jesus, and sat down on the tribunal, in the place called Pavement, but in Hebrew, 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!”
And it was the preparation of the passover: and was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Behold, 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.”
Then they cried out, Take Him away, take Him away, crucify Him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your King? And the chief priests responded, We have no king but Caesar.
16 U Bilatus a ka Yesu chuwo ni bawu ni ndu ba hi giciye wu.
Therefore he then delivered Him to them that He should be crucified. Then they took Jesus and led 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).”
And He was bearing His cross. And He went out into a place called Calvary, 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.
They crucified Him there, and two others with Him, on this side and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.
19 Bilatus mba nha yo gban nitu giciye. Niki ba nha ndi: “YESU U NAZARET, ICHU YAHUDAWA.
And Pilate also wrote His title, and placed it upon the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARENE 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.
Then many of the Jews read this title: because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city: And it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Roman.
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.'””
Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, King of the Jews; but 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.
Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made them four parts, a part for each soldier; and the vesture. And the vesture was seamless, woven from the top throughout.
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.
Then they said to one another, Let us not tear it, but let us gamble for it, whose it shall be. In order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, saying, They divided my garments among themselves, and upon my vesture they cast the lot. Then indeed the soldiers did these things.
25 Iyii Yesu, u vayi yima vren wa, Maryamu iwa Klofas, ni Maryamu Magdaliya ba kri whi ni giciye u Yesu'a.
And by the cross of Jesus stood His mother, and the sister of His mother, Mary the mother of Cleophas, 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!”
Then Jesus seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved, standing by, said to His mother; Woman, behold, thy 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 says to the disciple, Behold, thy mother. And from that hour that disciple received her into his own 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, Jesus seeing that all things are already perfected, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
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.
Then a vessel was sitting by full of vinegar: and filling a sponge with vinegar and placing it on the hyssop, they brought 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.
Then when Jesus received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and bowing His head, He gave 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.
Then the Jews, in order that the bodies may not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, since it was the Preparation (for the day of that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate, that they might break their legs, and take them down.
32 U soja ba ye nzi za indji u mumla na nzi wu ha waba giciye ba baba Yesu.
Then the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first one, and of the other one being crucified along with Him.
33 U ba ye nitu Yesu na to nda a kwu ye, u bana nzi za mana.
But having come to Jesus, when they 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.
but one of the soldiers pierced His side through with the spear, and immediately blood and water came 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.
And He having seen hath testified, and his testimony is true: and he knows that he speaks the truth, that you also may believe.
36 Ba ti naki ni ndu lantre ma, ndi shu, “kwukwu ma riri me bana mre na.”
For these things took place, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken.
37 U lan tre ri tre, “Ba ya indji wa ba t'bu'a.”
Again another Scripture says, They shall look on Him, whom 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.
After these things, Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having been hidden on account of the fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted. Then he came and took the body of Jesus.
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.
And Nicodemus also, the one having come at first to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred 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.
Then they received the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linens with aromatics, as is the custom to the Jews to embalm.
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.
And there was in the place where He was crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which no one was ever yet placed.
42 Nitu wa a hi vi u mlati-mlati u Yahudawa, ibe'a he whewhre, u ba ka Yesu yo ni mi.
Then on account of the Preparation of the Jews (because the sepulcher was near), they placed Jesus there.
