< Yohana 19 >

1 Nipele, che Pilato ŵalamwile kuti Che Yesu ajigalikwe, aputikwe mbokola.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
2 Ŵangondo nombe ŵakolosisye chindu mpela singwa ja miiŵa, ŵambwasisye Che Yesu mu ntwe wao ni kuntakusya mwinjilo wa chimwenye.
The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on His head, and they put a purple robe on Him.
3 Ŵaliji nkwaichilila ni kuti, “Tukunkomasya, Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi!” Nipele ŵamputile majanda.
They kept coming up to Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him on the face.
4 Che Pilato ŵakopweche sooni paasa ni kwasalila Ŵayahudi, “Nnole, ngunyikanawo paasa, mmanyilile kuti uneji nganinansimana ni magambo gagaligose ga kunlamula mundu ju.”
Pilate then went out again, and told the Jews, “Look, I’m bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
5 Nipele Che Yesu ŵakopweche paasa ali awasile chindu mpela singwa ja miiŵa mu ntwe mwao ni mwinjilo wa chimwenye. Che Pilato ŵasalile Ŵayahudi, “Nnole mundu nsyene ni aju.”
Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, and Pilate said to them, “Look! Here is the man!”
6 Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu paŵambweni Che Yesu ŵanyanyisye, “Mwaŵambe pansalaba! Mwaŵambe pansalaba!” Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Munjigale mwachinsyene nkaŵambe pansalaba, pakuŵa uneji ngangugawona magambo gagaligose gakunlamula mundu ju.”
When the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate told them, “You take Him and crucify Him, because I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
7 Ŵayahudi ŵajanjile, “Uweji tukwete malajisyo ni kwa malajisyo go ikusachilwa aweje, ligongo alitesile kuŵa Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He claimed to be God’s Son.”
8 Che Pilato paŵagapilikene maloŵe go ŵapundile kogopa.
When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,
9 Nipele ŵajinjile sooni mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana mmweji nkutyochela kwapi?” Nambo Che Yesu ngananjanga chachili chose.
and went back into the Praetorium, and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus didn’t answer him.
10 Che Pilato ŵansalile, “Ana ngankusaka kuŵecheta ni une? Ana ngankumanyilila kuti ngwete ulamusi wa kungopola pane kummamba pansalaba?”
Pilate therefore asked him, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know that I have authority to release you, and authority to crucify you?”
11 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Ngankakole ulamusi wauli wose kwa uneji ngankapegwe ni Akunnungu. Kwa ligongo lyo mundu jwambeleche uneji kukwenu jwelejo apundile kuŵa ni sambi syejinji.”
Jesus answered, “You would have no authority at all against me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin.”
12 Chitandile pelepo, che Pilato ŵasosile litala lya kwalechelela Che Yesu. Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵanyanyisye, “Mwannechelelaga mundu ju, mmwejo nganimma mbusanga jwa mwenye jwa ku Loma, pakuŵa mundu jwalijose jwakulitenda mwenye akunkanila mwenye jwankulu jwa ku Loma!”
From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews shouted, “If you let this man go, you aren’t Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
13 Nipele che Pilato paŵagapilikene maloŵe go ŵanyichenawo Che Yesu paasa, ni nsyene ŵatemi pa chitengu cha kulamula, pelepo pakuŵilanjikwa, “Luŵala lwa Maganga.” Mchiebulania, Gabata.
Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement,” but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
14 Lyuŵa lyaliji pamtwe, lyuŵa lyakuŵichila chile Pasaka. Che Pilato ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi, “Mwenye jwenu aju!”
Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. Pilate told the Jews, “Look! Here is your King!”
15 Ŵanyawo ŵanyanyisye, “Mwaulaje! Mwaulaje! Mwaŵambe pansalaba!” Che Pilato ŵausisye, “Uli, nammambe mwenye jwenu?” Achakulu ŵambopesi ŵajanjile, “Uweji nganitukola mwenye jwine ikaŵe mwenye jwa ku Loma pe!”
They therefore shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate asked them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
16 Pelepo che Pilato ŵampeleche Che Yesu mmakono mwa ŵangondo kuti akaaŵambe pansalaba. Nipele, ŵangondo ŵanjigele Che Yesu.
Then Pilate delivered Jesus to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away.
17 Che Yesu ŵakopweche ali ajigele nsalaba wakwe kwaula kwiuto kwakukuŵilanjikwa, “Chikalakasa cha Ntwe”, Mchiebulania pakuŵilanjikwa Goligota.
And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18 Pelepo ni paŵaŵambile Che Yesu, ni ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵili pamo nawo, jwine kunchiji ni jwine kundyo kwao ni Che Yesu pambindikati.
There they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the center.
19 Che Pilato ŵalembile chimanyisyo ni ŵachiŵisile pachanya nsalaba. Ni chimanyisyo cho chalembekwe yelei, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti, Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi.”
Now Pilate wrote a notice, and put it on the cross. The notice said: “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
20 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵachisyomile chimanyisyo cho pakuŵa paŵaŵambile Che Yesu pala paliji chiŵandi ni musi. Sooni chimanyisyo cho chalembekwe Mchiebulania ni Chilatini ni Chigiliki.
Then many of the Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
21 Nipele achakulu ŵambopesi ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaasalile che Pilato kuti, “Nkalemba, ‘Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi,’ nambo mundu ju ŵatite, ‘Uneji ndili Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi.’”
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews told Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.”’”
22 Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Chilembile, nembile!”
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Ŵangondo paŵamasile kwaŵamba Che Yesu pansalaba, ŵajigele iwalo yao ni ŵagaŵenye maunjili ncheche, jwangondo jwalijose liunjili limo. Sooni ŵajigele mwinjilo wakwe, wanganiukola papatotekwe, waliji chipande chimo chachiluchikwe kutyochela mwinani mpaka paasi.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they split His garments into four parts, to each soldier a part, including the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
24 Nipele ŵangondo wo ŵasalilene, “Tunapapulanye nambo tutende gudugudu kuti uwe wacheni.” Yeleyo yatendekwe kuti gamalile Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti, “Ŵagaŵene iwalo yangu, ni mwinjilo wangu ŵatendele gudugudu.” Yeleyo ni yatite pakupanganya ŵangondo wo.
Therefore they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots to see whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: “They divided my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things.
25 Pachiŵandi ni nsalaba u Che Yesu ŵajimi achikulugwe Che Yesu ni apwao achikulugwe ni che Maliamu ŵankwawo che Kileopa ni che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala.
Now Jesus’ mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene stood by Jesus’ cross.
26 Che Yesu paŵambweni achikulugwe ni jwakulijiganya juŵannonyele nnope jula ajimi kuŵandikana ni pepala, ŵaasalile achikulugwe, “Amao, jwelejo ni mwanagwenu.”
Therefore when Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple who He sincerely loved standing by, He told His mother, “Woman, here is your son!”
27 Sooni ŵansalile jwakulijiganya jula kuti, “Nnole, jwelejo ni achikulu ŵenu.” Ni kutandila lyuŵa lyo jwakulijiganya jo ŵanjigele che Maliamu kuti akatame nawo kumangwakwe.
Then He told the disciple, “Here is your mother!” From that hour, that disciple took her into his own home.
28 Che Yesu ŵaimanyilile kuti yose yaliji imalile, ni Malembelo ga Akunnungu kuti gamalile, ŵatite, “Jingwete njota.”
After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now accomplished, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I’m thirsty!”
29 Chapali kweleko chiŵiga chigumbele divai jakuipa. Nipele, ŵajigele chindu mpela lidodoki ni ŵatoŵele mu divai mo ni kutaŵilila pachitela chachikuŵilanjikwa esopo ni kuchiŵika pakang'wa pa Che Yesu.
A jar full of vinegar was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on a hyssop stalk, and lifted it up to His mouth.
30 Che Yesu paŵamasile kupegwa divai jo, ŵatite, “Yose imalile!” Ni ŵakotamisye ntwe wao ni kwasika.
When Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, “It is finished!” Then, He bowed His head, and gave up His spirit.
31 Lyaliji lyuŵa lya kuŵichila chile kwa kupumulila likanaŵe Lyuŵa lya Pasaka. Nipele achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi nganasaka iilu itaame pa nsalaba pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ligongo Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyaliji lyuŵa lyajikape. Kwapele ŵaŵendile che Pilato apokosole makongolo ga ŵele ŵaŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba ni kuitulusya iilu yao.
Because it was the Preparation Day, the Jews asked Pilate for the prisoners’ legs to be broken, and that they might be taken away, so that the bodies wouldn’t stay on the cross on the Sabbath (because that Sabbath was a special one).
32 Nipele ŵangondo ŵajawile ni kugapokosola makongolo ga mundu jwaandanda ni jwaaŵili ŵaŵaliji aŵambikwe pansalaba pamo ni Che Yesu.
Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other man who was crucified with Jesus,
33 Nambo paŵaichilile Che Yesu, ŵaiweni kuti awile, kwapele nganagapokosola makongolo gao.
but when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they didn’t break His legs.
34 Nambo jwangondo jumo ŵansomile Che Yesu mpaamba pa luŵalati, ni papopo jakopweche miasi ni meesi.
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 Nombe juŵaiweni yeleyo ilinkutendekwa aŵalasile umboni melepe ni ŵanyamwe nkombole kukulupilila. Ni umboni wasasile uli usyene, sooni jwelejo akumanyilila kuti akusala usyene.
He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.
36 Yelei yatendekwe kuti gamalile Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti, “Ngapagwa liupa lyao lichilipokoswe.”
These things were done so that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”
37 Nipele Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakusala sooni, “Chiŵalole ŵeŵala ŵaŵansomile.”
Another Scripture says, “They will look on Him who they pierced.”
38 Payamasile yeleyo che Yusufu jwa ku Alimataya, ŵaŵendile che Pilato kuti achitulusye chiilu chi Che Yesu pa nsalaba. Che Yusufu ŵaliji jwakulijiganya jwao Che Yesu, nambo nganalilosyaga, pakuŵa ŵajogopaga achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi. Nipele che Pilato ŵajitichisye. Che Yusufu ŵajawile ni kuchijigala chiilu chi Che Yesu.
After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could take the body of Jesus away; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.
39 Che Yusufu ŵalongene ni che Nikodemu, che Nikodemu ju ni jwejula juŵajaulile Che Yesu chilo kundanda ko, ŵaiche ali ajigele mauta gakununjila yambone ga manemane kuwanganya ni ubani, mpela mbiisi saba ni ibaba iŵili.
Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing about a hundred Roman pounds of a mixture of myrrh and aloes.
40 Nipele ŵachijigele chiilu chi Che Yesu ni kuchiŵijilila mu nguo jeswela pamo ni yakununjila mpela chisyoŵelo cha Ŵayahudi katema ka kusika.
So they took the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in strips of linen with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41 Nambo peuto paŵaŵambikwe Che Yesu pala wapali ngunda wa mwana, ni mu ngunda mo mwaliji mwana lilembe lya sambano mwakanaŵichikwa mundu jwalijose.
In the place where He was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid.
42 Nipele ligongo lyaliji lyuŵa lya Ŵayahudi kuliŵika chile kupumulila, ni sooni pakuŵa lilembe lyo lyaliji pachiŵandi, ŵachiŵisile chiilu chi Che Yesu mwelemo.
Because of the Jewish Preparation Day, and because the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
