< Yohana 19 >

1 Nipele, che Pilato ŵalamwile kuti Che Yesu ajigalikwe, aputikwe mbokola.
After that Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged;
2 Ŵangondo nombe ŵakolosisye chindu mpela singwa ja miiŵa, ŵambwasisye Che Yesu mu ntwe wao ni kuntakusya mwinjilo wa chimwenye.
and the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, placed it on his head, and threw a purple cloak about him, and kept marching up to him,
3 Ŵaliji nkwaichilila ni kuti, “Tukunkomasya, Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi!” Nipele ŵamputile majanda.
saying, "Hail! King of the Jews!" They also gave him blow after blow with their hands.
4 Che Pilato ŵakopweche sooni paasa ni kwasalila Ŵayahudi, “Nnole, ngunyikanawo paasa, mmanyilile kuti uneji nganinansimana ni magambo gagaligose ga kunlamula mundu ju.”
Pilate again came forth and said to the people, "See, I am going to bring his out to you, that you may clearly know that I find no crime in 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 as Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "BEHOLD, 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.”
So when the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted. "Crucify him! Crucify him!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate, "for I find no crime in 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 by that law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be God’s Son,"
8 Che Pilato paŵagapilikene maloŵe go ŵapundile kogopa.
Now when Pilate heard these words he was more alarmed than ever,
9 Nipele ŵajinjile sooni mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana mmweji nkutyochela kwapi?” Nambo Che Yesu ngananjanga chachili chose.
and entering the Praetorium again, he said to Jesus, "What is your origin?"
10 Che Pilato ŵansalile, “Ana ngankusaka kuŵecheta ni une? Ana ngankumanyilila kuti ngwete ulamusi wa kungopola pane kummamba pansalaba?”
Jesus made no answer. So Pilate said to him. "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, or power 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.”
"You would have no power over me," answered Jesus, "unless it had been given you from above. For this reason he who has betrayed 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!”
After that Pilate began to seek to release him, but the Jews shouted out. "If you release this man you are no friend of the Emperor. Any man who makes himself out to be king is a rebel against the Emperor."
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.
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out and made him sit on the judge’s seat in a place called the Mosaic Pavement (the Hebrew name is Gabbatha).
14 Lyuŵa lyaliji pamtwe, lyuŵa lyakuŵichila chile Pasaka. Che Pilato ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi, “Mwenye jwenu aju!”
And it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o’clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "Behold 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!”
Then they shouted. "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Crucify your King?" said Pilate. 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.
So then he gave him over to them to be crucified.
17 Che Yesu ŵakopweche ali ajigele nsalaba wakwe kwaula kwiuto kwakukuŵilanjikwa, “Chikalakasa cha Ntwe”, Mchiebulania pakuŵilanjikwa Goligota.
So they took Jesus, who went forth bearing his own cross, to a place called The Place of a Skull - in the Hebrew tongue, 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 with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.
19 Che Pilato ŵalembile chimanyisyo ni ŵachiŵisile pachanya nsalaba. Ni chimanyisyo cho chalembekwe yelei, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti, Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi.”
And Pilate moreover wrote an inscription and placed it above the cross. What he wrote was, "JESUS, THE NAZARENE, 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.
This inscription was read by many of the Jews, because the place where they crucified Jesus was near the city, and the inscription was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Nipele achakulu ŵambopesi ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaasalile che Pilato kuti, “Nkalemba, ‘Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi,’ nambo mundu ju ŵatite, ‘Uneji ndili Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi.’”
So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write ‘King of the Jews,’ but ‘He said, I am 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.
After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, to each soldier a part, and the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom;
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.
so the soldiers said one to another. "Let us not tear it. Let us draw lots, to see whose it shall be" - that the Scripture might be fulfilled. They divided my garments among them, For my raiment did they cast lots. This was what the soldiers did.
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 there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Che Yesu paŵambweni achikulugwe ni jwakulijiganya juŵannonyele nnope jula ajimi kuŵandikana ni pepala, ŵaasalile achikulugwe, “Amao, jwelejo ni mwanagwenu.”
When Jesus saw his mother, and standing near her the disciple whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman behold 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 said to the disciple, "Behold your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her to his home.
28 Che Yesu ŵaimanyilile kuti yose yaliji imalile, ni Malembelo ga Akunnungu kuti gamalile, ŵatite, “Jingwete njota.”
After that, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished, he said in fulfilment of the words of Scripture, "I am 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.
There was a jar full of vinegar standing there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a stalk of hyssop, and put it to his lips.
30 Che Yesu paŵamasile kupegwa divai jo, ŵatite, “Yose imalile!” Ni ŵakotamisye ntwe wao ni kwasika.
Then after he had taken the vinegar, Jesus said, "IT IS FINISHED!" And bowing his head, he yielded 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.
It was Preparation Day, so in order to prevent the bodies’ hanging on the cross during the Sabbath (for the Sabbath was a great day) the Jews begged Pilate to have the legs broken, and the bodies taken away.
32 Nipele ŵangondo ŵajawile ni kugapokosola makongolo ga mundu jwaandanda ni jwaaŵili ŵaŵaliji aŵambikwe pansalaba pamo ni Che Yesu.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who had been crucified with him.
33 Nambo paŵaichilile Che Yesu, ŵaiweni kuti awile, kwapele nganagapokosola makongolo gao.
But upon coming to Jesus they saw that he was already dead, and did not break his legs.
34 Nambo jwangondo jumo ŵansomile Che Yesu mpaamba pa luŵalati, ni papopo jakopweche miasi ni meesi.
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 Nombe juŵaiweni yeleyo ilinkutendekwa aŵalasile umboni melepe ni ŵanyamwe nkombole kukulupilila. Ni umboni wasasile uli usyene, sooni jwelejo akumanyilila kuti akusala usyene.
And he who saw it has borne testimony, and his testimony is trustworthy, and he knows that he is telling the truth in order that you may believe.
36 Yelei yatendekwe kuti gamalile Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti, “Ngapagwa liupa lyao lichilipokoswe.”
For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken.
37 Nipele Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakusala sooni, “Chiŵalole ŵeŵala ŵaŵansomile.”
And again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have 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 these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took the body.
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 also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.
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 wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
41 Nambo peuto paŵaŵambikwe Che Yesu pala wapali ngunda wa mwana, ni mu ngunda mo mwaliji mwana lilembe lya sambano mwakanaŵichikwa mundu jwalijose.
There was a garden near the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever 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.
Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.
