Yohana 19
1 U Bilatus tsi Yesu ni panlan.
Then, therefore, 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 garland of thorns, placed [it] on His head, and they cast a purple garment around Him,
3 Ba wlu ye niwu, nda tre, “Ndu Irji ziwu gbron nkon, Ichu Yahudawa!” nda wru'u.
and said, “Hail! The King of the Jews”; and they were giving 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.”
Pilate, therefore, again went forth outside and says to them, “Behold, I bring Him to you outside, that you may know that I find no fault in Him”;
5 U Yesu a rju hi ni ra ni nchon tu chu'a ni tuma. Bilatus a tre, “Toyi, ngye ndji'a yi.”
Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, bearing the thorny garland and the purple garment; 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.”
When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate says to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify, for I find no fault 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.”
the Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, for He made Himself Son of God.”
8 Wa Bilatus a wo naki na tie sissri kpukpome.
When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was 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 entered again into the Praetorium and says to Jesus, “Where are You from?” 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, therefore, says to Him, “Do You not speak to me? Have You not known that I have authority to crucify You, and I have authority to release 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 against Me if it were not having been given you from above; because of this, he who is delivering Me up to you has 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 this [time] Pilate was seeking to release Him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, “If you may release this One, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone making himself a 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.”
Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus outside—and he sat down on the judgment seat—to a place called, “Pavement,” and 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 as it were 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.”
And they cried out, “Take away! Take away! Crucify Him!” Pilate says to them, “Will I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”
16 U Bilatus a ka Yesu chuwo ni bawu ni ndu ba hi giciye wu.
Then, therefore, he delivered Him up to them, that He may be crucified, and 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 carrying His cross, He went forth to the [place] called “Place of [the] Skull,” which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha—
18 U ba giciye niki, ni indji hari bari, iri ni ko ni nhama ko rime, Yesu mba he ni tsutsu.
where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, on this side and on that side, but Jesus in the middle.
19 Bilatus mba nha yo gban nitu giciye. Niki ba nha ndi: “YESU U NAZARET, ICHU YAHUDAWA.
And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on 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.
therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place was near to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin.
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.'””
The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Do not write, The King of the Jews, but that this One said, I am 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.
The soldiers, therefore, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven 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.
they said, therefore, to one another, “We may not tear it, but cast a lot for it, whose it will be”; that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, “They divided My garments to themselves, and they cast a lot for My clothing”; the soldiers, therefore, indeed, 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 there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the 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!”
Jesus, therefore, having seen [His] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom He was loving, He says to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son”;
27 Nda hla ni almajiri, “To, Iyi me!” Rji ni nton kima ivren koh ma a njiwu nda hi ni koh ma.
afterward He says to the disciple, “Behold, your mother”; and from that hour the disciple took her to 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 knowing that all things have now been accomplished, that the Writing may 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.
a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, they put [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, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, He said, “It has been accomplished.” And having bowed the head, gave up the 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.
The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, since it was the Preparation (for that Sabbath day was a great one), asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they [are] taken away.
32 U soja ba ye nzi za indji u mumla na nzi wu ha waba giciye ba baba Yesu.
The soldiers, therefore, came, and they indeed broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him,
33 U ba ye nitu Yesu na to nda a kwu ye, u bana nzi za mana.
and having come to Jesus, when they saw Him already having been 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 with a spear, and immediately there came forth blood and water;
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 who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true, and that one has known that he speaks true things, 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 came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, “A bone of Him will not be broken”;
37 U lan tre ri tre, “Ba ya indji wa ba t'bu'a.”
and again another Writing says, “They will look to Him whom they 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.
And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea—being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews—asked of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away 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 came—who came to Jesus by night at the first—carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, one 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.
Therefore they took the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;
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 a garden in the place where He was crucified, and a new tomb in the garden, in which no one was yet laid;
42 Nitu wa a hi vi u mlati-mlati u Yahudawa, ibe'a he whewhre, u ba ka Yesu yo ni mi.
therefore, because the tomb was near, there they laid Jesus because of the Preparation of the Jews.
