Marko 15
1 Mmamawa, akulu a ansembe pamodzi ndi akuluakulu, aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi olamulira onse anamanga fundo. Anamumanga Yesu, namutenga ndi kukamupereka kwa Pilato.
As soon as it was daylight, the chief priests, after holding a consultation with elders and teachers of the Law – that is to say, the whole High Council – put Jesus in chains, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.
2 Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Iwe ndi Mfumu ya Ayuda?” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mwatero ndinu.”
‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ asked Pilate. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
3 Akulu a ansembe anamunenera zinthu zambiri.
Then the chief priests brought a number of charges against him.
4 Ndipo Pilato anamufunsanso Iye kuti, “Kodi Iwe suyankhapo kanthu? Tamva zinthu zambiri akukunenerazi.”
So Pilate questioned Jesus again. ‘Have you no reply to make?’ he asked. ‘Listen, how many charges they are bringing against you.’
5 Koma Yesu sanayankhebe, ndipo Pilato anadabwa.
But Jesus still made no reply whatever; at which Pilate was astonished.
6 Pa nthawi ya Phwando, panali chizolowezi chomasula munthu wamʼndende amene anthu amupempha.
Now, at the feast, Pilate used to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might ask for.
7 Munthu wotchedwa Baraba anali mʼndende pamodzi ndi anthu owukira amene anapha anthu pa nthawi ya chipolowe.
A man called Barabbas was in prison, with the rioters who had committed murder during a riot.
8 Gulu la anthu linabwera kwa Pilato ndi kumufunsa kuti awachitire zimene amachita nthawi zonse.
So, when the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate to follow his usual custom,
9 “Kodi mukufuna kuti ndikumasulireni mfumu ya Ayuda?” Pilato anafunsa,
he answered, ‘Do you want me to release the “king of the Jews” for you?’
10 podziwa kuti akulu a ansembe anamupereka Yesu kwa iye chifukwa cha nsanje.
For he was aware that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had given Jesus up to him.
11 Koma akulu a ansembe anasonkhezera anthu kuti Pilato amasule Baraba mʼmalo mwa Yesu.
But the chief priests incited the crowd to get Barabbas released instead.
12 Pilato anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi nanga ndichite chiyani ndi uyu amene mukumutcha mfumu ya Ayuda?”
Pilate, however, spoke to them again, ‘What should I do then with the man whom you call the “king of the Jews”?’
13 Anafuwula kuti, “Mpachikeni!”
Again they shouted, ‘Crucify him!’
14 Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani? Wapalamula mlandu wotani?” Koma anafuwula kwambiri, “Mpachikeni!”
‘Why, what harm has he done?’ Pilate kept saying to them. But they shouted furiously, ‘Crucify him!’
15 Pilato pofuna kuwakondweretsa anthuwo, anawamasulira Baraba. Analamula kuti Yesu akwapulidwe mwankhanza, ndipo anamupereka kuti akapachikidwe.
And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and, after scourging Jesus, gave him up to be crucified.
16 Asilikali anamutenga Yesu ndi kupita naye mʼkati mwa nyumba yaufumu (dera lokhalako asilikali a mfumu) ndipo anasonkhanitsa gulu lonse la asilikali.
The soldiers then took Jesus away into the courtyard – that is the Government house – and they called the whole garrison together.
17 Anamuveka Iye mwinjiro wofiira, kenaka analuka chipewa cha minga ndi kuyika pa mutu pake.
They dressed him in a purple robe, and, having twisted a crown of thorns, put it on him,
18 Ndipo anayamba kunena kwa lye kuti, “Ulemu kwa inu Mfumu ya Ayuda!”
and then began to salute him. ‘Long life to you, king of the Jews!’ they said.
19 Ndipo anamugogoda pa mutu mobwerezabwereza ndi ndodo ndi kumulavulira. Anamugwadira ndi kumulambira Iye.
And they kept striking him on the head with a rod, spitting at him, and bowing to the ground before him – going down on their knees;
20 Ndipo anamuchita chipongwe, anamuvula mwinjiro wofiira uja ndi kumuveka zovala zake. Kenaka anamutenga kuti akamupachike.
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the purple robe, and put his own clothes on him.
21 Munthu wina ochokera ku Kurene, Simoni, abambo a Alekisanda ndi Rufasi amadutsa kuchokera ku dziko la kwawo, ndipo anamuwumiriza kuti anyamule mtanda.
They led Jesus out to crucify him; and they compelled a passer-by, Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them to carry his cross.
22 Anafika naye Yesu pa malo otchedwa Gologota (kutanthauza kuti, malo a bade)
They brought Jesus to the place which was known as Golgotha – a name which means “place of a Skull.”
23 Kenaka anamupatsa Iye vinyo wosakaniza ndi mure, koma Iye sanamwe.
There they offered him drugged wine; but Jesus refused it.
24 Ndipo anamupachika Iye. Anachita maere ogawana zovala zake kuti aone chimene aliyense angatenge.
Then they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots for them, to settle what each should take.
25 Linali ora lachitatu mmawa pamene anamupachika Yesu.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
26 Chikwangwani cholembedwapo mlandu wake chinali choti: mfumu ya ayuda.
The words of the charge against him, written up over his head, read – “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27 Achifwamba awiri anapachikidwanso pamodzi ndi Iye, wina kumanja kwake ndi wina kumanzere kwake.
And with him they crucified two robbers, one on the right, and the other on the left.
28 (Ndipo malemba anakwaniritsidwa amene amati, “Iye anayikidwa mʼgulu la anthu oyipa).”
29 Amene amadutsa pafupi anamunenera mawu amwano, akupukusa mitu yawo ndi kuti, “Haa! Iwe amene udzawononga Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kuyimanganso masiku atatu,
The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads, as they said, ‘Ah! You who would destroy the Temple and build one in three days,
30 tsika kuchoka pa mtandapo ndipo udzipulumutse wekha!”
come down from the cross and save yourself!’
31 Chimodzimodzinso akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo anamunyoza Iye pakati pawo. Iwo anati, “Anapulumutsa ena, koma sangathe kudzipulumutsa yekha!
In the same way the chief priests, with the teachers of the Law, said to one another in mockery,
32 Musiyeni Khristu, Mfumu ya Aisraeli, atsike tsopano kuchoka pa mtanda, kuti ife tione ndi kukhulupirira.” Iwonso amene anapachikidwa naye pamodzi anamulalatira.
‘He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the “king of Israel,” come down from the cross now so that we can see it and believe.’ Even the men who had been crucified with Jesus insulted him.
33 Pa ora lachisanu ndi chimodzi masana mdima unabwera pa dziko lonse mpaka pa ora lachisanu ndi chinayi masana.
At midday, a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon.
34 Pa ora lachisanu ndi chinayi Yesu analira mofuwula kuti, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani?” Kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, mwandisiyiranji Ine?”
And, at three, Jesus called out loudly, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?’ which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
35 Ena amene anali pafupi atamva izi anati, “Tamverani, akuyitana Eliya.”
Some of those standing round heard this, and said, ‘Listen! He is calling for Elijah!’
36 Munthu wina anathamanga, natenga chinkhupule atachiviyika mu vinyo wosasa, anachizika ku mtengo, ndi kumupatsa Yesu kuti amwe. Munthuyo anati, “Musiyeni yekha tsopano. Tiyeni tione ngati Eliya angabwere kudzamutsitsa.”
And a man ran, and, soaking a sponge in common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink, saying as he did so, ‘Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.’
37 Ndi mawu ofuwula, Yesu anapuma komaliza.
But Jesus, giving a loud cry, breathed his last.
38 Chinsalu chotchinga cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi.
The Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 Ndipo Kenturiyo, amene anayima patsogolo pa Yesu, atamva kulira kwake ndi kuona mmene anafera anati, “Zoonadi, uyu anali Mwana wa Mulungu.”
The Roman officer, who was standing facing Jesus, on seeing the way in which he breathed his last, exclaimed, ‘This man must indeed have been God’s son!’
40 Amayi ena anali patali kuonerera. Pakati pawo panali Mariya Magadalena, Mariya amayi a Yakobo wamngʼono ndi Yose ndi Salome.
There were some women also watching from a distance, among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joseph, and Salome –
41 Amayi awa ankamutsatira Iye mu Galileya ndi kumutumikira Iye pa zosowa zake. Amayi enanso ambiri amene anabwera naye ku Yerusalemu analinso pomwepo.
all of whom used to accompany Jesus when he was in Galilee, and give him support – besides many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.
42 Linali Tsiku Lokonzekera (kunena kuti, tsiku lomwe limatsatizana ndi Sabata). Choncho madzulo atayandikira,
The evening had already fallen, when, as it was the Preparation day – the day before the Sabbath –
43 Yosefe wa ku Arimateyu, mkulu wolamulira odziwika bwino, amene amadikirira ufumu wa Mulungu, anapita kwa Pilato molimba mtima ndi kukapempha mtembo wa Yesu.
Joseph from Arimathea, a councillor of good position, who was himself living in expectation of the kingdom of God, came and ventured to go in to see Pilate, and to ask for the body of Jesus.
44 Pilato anadabwa pakumva kuti anali atamwalira kale. Anayitana Kenturiyo, namufunsa ngati Yesu anali atamwalira kale.
But Pilate was surprised to hear that he had already died. So he sent for the officer, and asked if he were already dead;
45 Atawuzidwa ndi Kenturiyo kuti zinali motero, anapereka mtembowo kwa Yosefe.
and, on learning from the officer that it was so, he gave the corpse to Joseph.
46 Choncho Yosefe anagula nsalu yabafuta, natsitsa thupi, ndipo analikulunga mʼnsalu, naliyika mʼmanda amene anawagoba pa mwala. Kenaka anagubuduza mwala umene anatseka nawo mandawo.
Joseph, having bought a linen sheet, took Jesus down, and wound the sheet round him, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock; and then rolled a stone up against the entrance of the tomb.
47 Mariya Magadalena ndi Mariya amayi a Yose anaona kumene anamuyika Yesu.
Mary of Magdala and Mary, the mother of Joseph, were watching to see where he was laid.
