John 19
1 Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus and scourged him.
Popelapo Pilato walamumanta Yesu ne kumukwipisha.
2 And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorn-branches, and put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple robe,
Lino bashilikali balabamba mushini wa myunga nekumufwalika kumutwi. Kayi balamufwalika mwinjila wamushobo wabulemu ufubeluka,
3 and said: Hail, King of the Jews. And they struck him with their open hands.
balikabesa kulyendiye nkabambeti, “Mitende, mobami ba Bayuda!” Pacindici balatatika kumuma.
4 Then Pilate came out again, and said to them: Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him.
Pilato walapula pansa kayi nekubambila Bayuda, “Kamubonani ndamulete kuli njamwe, neco mwinshibe kwambeti ndiya kumucanapo ne mulandu uli wonse.”
5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorn-branches, and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them: Be hold the man!
Popelapo Yesu walapula nkali afwala mushini wa myunga kumutwi ne cakufwala cifubeluka cisa, Pilato walambeti, “Uyu muntusa.”
6 When the chief priests and their attendants saw him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said to them: Do you take him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him.
Bamakulene beshimilumbo nebamalonda ba mu Nga'nda ya Lesa basa mpobalabona Yesu, balolobesheti, “Mupopeni! Mupopeni!” Pilato walambeti, “Mumanteni mwenka mwenga mumupope pakwinga ame ndiya kumucanapo nemulandu.”
7 The Jews answered: We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
Bantu balambeti, “Afwe tukute mulawo, nomba twakonka mulawo wetu uyu welela kufwa, pakwinga walikwambeti, ‘Njame Mwana wa Lesa.’”
8 Then, when Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid;
Lino Pilato mpalanyumfwa maswi awa, walanyumfwa buyowa kwine.
9 and he went into the governor’s palace again, and said to Jesus: Whence are you? But Jesus gave him no answer.
Nomba walengila kayi munga'nda nekwipusha Yesu, “Nomba obe kwenu nikupeyo?” Nsombi Yesu nkalakumbula sobwe.
10 Then Pilate said to him: Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to crucify you, and authority to release you?
Kayi Pilato walamwipusheti, “Nicani nkolankumbulunga? Sena nkocinsheti nkute ngofu sha kukusungulula nekukupopa?”
11 Jesus answered: You could have no authority over me, had it not been given you from above. Therefore, he that delivered me to you, has the greater sin.
Yesu walambeti, “Lesa, abula kumupa ngofu nemuliya kwinsapo ciliconse palinjame. Weco uyo wanjaba kuli njamwe ukute bwipishi bunene.”
12 After this Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If you release this man, you are not Cæsar’s friend. Every one that makes himself a king, speaks against Cæsar
Mpwalanyumfwa maswi awa, Pilato walayandishisha kwambeti amusungulule Yesu. Nsombi Bayuda balolobesha, mwamusungulula muntuyu ekwambeti nkamwekatana ne mwami wa kuLoma. Uliyense lalyambanga kuba mwami, ekwambeti nimulwani wamwami wa ku Loma.
13 Then Pilate, when he heard that word, led Jesus out, and sat on the judgment-seat, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha;
Pilato mpwalanyumfweco, walamupulisha Yesu, nekwikala pacipuna cakomboloshelapo milandu, pabusena bwalikukwiweti, “Lubansa lwa mabwe.” Mu cihebeli ukute kukwiweti, Gabata.
14 it was the preparation for the passover, and about the third hour; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king!
Nomba bwalikuba busuba bwakulibambila sha Pasika, kayi cindi calikuba muma 12 koloko munshi. Pilato walambila Bayuda, “Uyu Mwami wenu.”
15 But they cried out: Away with him, away with him; crucify him! Pilate said to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Cæsar
Nomba nabo balolobesha nekwambeti, “Mushineni! Mushineni! Kapopwani!” Pilato walabepusheti, “Sena mpope Mwami wenu?” Bamakulene beshimilumbo balakumbuleti, “Tuliyawa Mwami naumbi sobwe, nsombi Mwami wa ku Loma enka.”
16 Then he, therefore, delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
Popelapo Pilato walamutwala Yesu kulyendibo kwambeti bamupope. kufumapo Yesu walaba mumakasa abo.
17 And, bearing his cross, he went forth into a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called, in Hebrew, Golgotha,
Bashilikali balamumantisha Yesu lusanda lwakendi, balapula nendi mulubansa nekuya kumusena walikukwiweti. “Cifupa ca mutwi” Mu Cihebeli bakute kwambeti “Gologota.”
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.
Kopeloko balamupopa palusanda. Kayi balapopa bantu bambi babili, umbi kulikasa lyalulyo naumbi kulikasa lya kucipiko, Yesu nendi walikuba pakati.
19 And Pilate wrote a superscription, and put it on the cross; and the writing was, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pilato walalemba cishibisho pelu palusanda. Walalembeti, “Yesu wa kuNasaleti, Mwami wa Bayuda.”
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this superscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew and in Greek and in Latin.
Mpwalapopela Yesu palikuba pepi neku Yelusalemu. Neco Bayuda bangi balikababelengapo. Cishibisho ici calikuba calembwa mumishobo itatu, Cihebeli ne Cilatini kayi ne Cigiliki.
21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The king of the Jews; but, that he said, I am the king of the Jews.
Bamakulene ba beshimilumbo ba Bayuda balambila Pilato, “Kamutalembeti, Mwami wa Bayuda sobwe. Nsombi mwine ewalikulyambeti eMwami wa Bayuda.”
22 Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.
Nomba Pilato walambeti, “Mbyondalembe, nibibe copeleco mbuli ncondalembe.”
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothing, and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and they took his coat also. Now his coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Bashilikali basa mpwobalapopa Yesu, balamanta bayakufwala byakendi nekutwamunamo tumpansha tuna, mushilikali uliyense walamanta kampansha kakendi. Balamanta kayi nemwinjila wakendi uyo walikuba watungwa necikwisa cimo kayi nkawalikuba ne lupeto.
24 Then they said, one to another, let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This was done that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says: They divided my clothing among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. The soldiers, therefore, did these things.
Lino bashilikali abo balambilaneti, “Katutautwamuna sobwe, nsombi twinse nsolo kwambeti twinshibe na nibani eshi aumante.” Byalenshika mushoboyo kwambeti bikwanishiwe balambwa mumabala, “Balayabana byakufwala byakame, kayi mwinjila wakame balawinshila nsolo.” Weco ncobalensa bashilikali basa.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Nomba pepi ne lusanda palemana banyina, ne mukwabo banyina, kayi palikuba Maliya mukashendi klopa ne Mariya wa ku magadalena.
26 Then Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing by, said to his mother: Woman, behold your son.
Lino Yesu mpalabona banyina ne shikwiya usa ngwalikusuna nkabalibemana pepi, walambila banyina eti, “Ma mwanenu uno.”
27 Then he said to the disciple: Behold your mother. And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
Walambila kayi shikwiya usa eti, “Banyoko aba.” Lino kufumina popelapo shikwiya usa walabamanta batukashi abo ne kutatika kubasunga cena kwakendi.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.
Yesu walenshiba kwambeti lino byonse bilakwanilishiwa. Lino kwambeti bikwanilishiwe byonse byalambwa mumabala, nendi walambeti “Nkute inyotwa.”
29 Now a vessel full of vinegar had been set there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a hyssop-stalk, and put it to his mouth.
Popelapo palikuba nsupa yesula waini wasasa. Bashilikali basa balasabika cisambo mu waini wasasa usa, nekucisomeka kukatondo ka hisopi nekukashikisha pamulomo pakendi.
30 Therefore, when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said: It is finished. And he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
Yesu mpalasupita waini wasasa walambeti, “Byonse bilakwanilishiwa.” Lino walakotama mutwi nekufwa.
31 Then the Jews, as it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath-day was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken down.
Bwalikuba busuba bwakulibambila sha Pasika. Bamakulene ba Bayuda nkabali kwandeti bitumbi ibyo bibe pa lusanda pa busuba bwa Sabata, pakwinga busuba bwa Sabata ubo bwalikuba bunene. Weco balamusenga Pilato kwambeti batyokole myendo ya bantu basa balikuba bapopwa nekubafunya.
32 Then came the soldiers and broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
Lino bashilikali balesa, nekutyokola umo pa babili basa balapopwa pamo ne Yesu. Balensa copeleco ne kumunendi usa.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs:
Nsombi mpobalashika pali Yesu, pakubona kwambeti lafu kendi, neco baliya kutyokola myendo yakendi.
34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear; and immediately there came out blood and water.
Nsombi umo wa bashilikali basa walamuyasa mumbafu ne lifumo, nomba mwalafuma milopa ne menshi.
35 And he that saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth, that you may believe;
Uyo walabona bintu ibi endiye labinshilinga bukamboni, kwambeti ne njamwe mushome. Bukamboni bwakendi nibwancine ncine, kayi mwine ucinshi kwambeti mbyalambanga nibyakubinga.
36 for these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken.
Ibi byalenshika kwambeti byalambwa mumabala bikwanilishiwe, mabala akwambeti, “Nteshi bakatyokole lifupa lyakendi nambi limo.”
37 And again another scripture says: They shall look on him whom they pierced.
Kayi kuli mabala nambi alambangeti, “Bantu nibakamwebele uyo ngobalayasa.”
38 And after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him permission. He then came and took away the body of Jesus.
Panyuma pakendi Yosefe wa ku Arimatea walasenga Pilato kwambeti amusuminishe kufunya citumbi ca Yesu. Yosefe walikuba weshikwiya wa Yesu, nsombi mwakusolama, pakwinga balikutina bamakulene ba Bayuda. Lino Pilato walamusuminisha, nendi walafunya citumbi ico.
39 Then came Nicodemus also, (who, at the first, had come to Jesus by night, ) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
Kwalesa kayi nikodemasi, usa walaya kuli Yesu mashiku pakutatika pasa. Nendi walaleta mafuta anunkila a mule asankanishiwa ne aloe, alikuba alema makilogilamu akwana 32.
40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, according to the Jewish custom of burying.
Bantu babili aba balamanta mubili wa Yesu nekupomba mucikwisa caswepa ne mafuta anunkila cena, balakonka mwambo wa Bayuda.
41 Now, in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
Uko Yesu nkwalapopwa kwalikuba libala. Nomba mulibala umo mwalikuba cumbwe calino lino, citana cibikwamo muntu.
42 There, then, on account of the preparation-day of the Jews, they laid Jesus, for the tomb was near.
Lino bwalikuba busuba bwa kulibambila kwa Bayuda kusekelela Pasika, Nomba manda ayo alikuba pepi, balabika Yesu mopelomo.
