< Mark 15 >

1 Early in the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin devised a plan. They bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.
Adeɛ kyee anɔpatutuutu no, asɔfoɔ mpanin, Yudafoɔ mpanin, Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ne agyinatufoɔ hyia dwenee ɛkwan a wɔde Yesu bɛfa so ho. Wɔkyekyeree no de no kɔhyɛɛ Pilato nsa.
2 So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
Wɔde no duruu hɔ no, Pilato bisaa no sɛ, “Wone Yudafoɔ ɔhene no anaa?” Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mo na moseɛ.”
3 And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.
Ɛhɔ ara, asɔfoɔ mpanin no kaa nsɛm akɛseakɛseɛ guu ne so, nanso wanka hwee.
4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”
Pilato bisaa no bio sɛ, “Enti, nsɛm akɛseakɛseɛ a wɔreka gu wo so yi, wonka ho hwee?”
5 But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.
Nanso, Yesu anka hwee ma ɛyɛɛ Pilato nwanwa.
6 Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.
Na ɛyɛ Pilato amanneɛ sɛ, afe biara Twam Afahyɛ no mu, ɔgyaa odeduani baako a ɔman no pɛ sɛ wɔgyaa no ma wɔn.
7 And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.
Saa afe no mu, na onipa bi a wɔfrɛ no Baraba no ka nnipa bi a wɔsɔre tiaa aban, nam so dii awu no ho wɔ afiase hɔ.
8 So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.
Ɛdɔm no kɔɔ Pilato so kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ɔnyi odeduani baako mma wɔn sɛdeɛ daa ɔyɛ no.
9 “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.
Pilato bisaa sɛ, “Menyi ‘Yudafoɔ Ɔhene’ no mma mo anaa?”
10 For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.
Ɛfiri sɛ, na wahunu sɛ asɔfoɔ mpanin no de ɔtan na atwa asɛm ato Yesu so ɛsiane din a na wagye no enti.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.
Nanso, asɔfoɔ mpanin no tuu dɔm no aso sɛ, sɛ wɔde bɛyi Yesu deɛ, wɔmpere ma wɔnyi Baraba.
12 So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”
Enti, Pilato bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Na sɛ meyi Baraba ma mo a, ɛdeɛn na menyɛ saa ɔbarima yi a mofrɛ no mo ɔhene no?”
13 And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”
Wɔteateaam sɛ, “Bɔ no asɛnnua mu!”
14 “Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”
Pilato bisaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Adɛn nti? Bɔne bɛn na wayɛ?” Wɔn nyinaa bɔ gyee so sɛ, “Bɔ no asɛnnua mu!”
15 And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
Afei, Pilato hunuu sɛ ɔyɛ asɛm no hwee a, ɛrenyɛ yie. Afei, na ɔsuro nso sɛ, sɛ anhwɛ a basabasayɛ bɛba enti, ɔgyaa Baraba maa wɔn. Ɔmaa wɔbɔɔ Yesu mmaa, na ɛno akyi no, ɔde no maa wɔn sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ no asɛnnua mu.
16 Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.
Asraafoɔ no de Yesu kɔɔ amrado aban mu hɔ, ɛnna wɔfrɛɛ asraafoɔ no nyinaa baa hɔ.
17 They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.
Wɔhyɛɛ no batakari kɔkɔɔ bi, de nkasɛɛ atentene bi nwonoo ɛkyɛ hyɛɛ no.
18 And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”
Wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ bɔ gyee so, dii ne ho fɛ sɛ, “Yudafoɔ ɔhene, wo nkwa so!”
19 They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.
Wɔde abaa paa nʼapampam, tetee ntasuo guu ne so, buu no nkotodwe, de dii ne ho fɛw.
20 After they had mocked Him, they removed the purple robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.
Wɔdii ne ho fɛ wieeɛ no, wɔworɔɔ batakari kɔkɔɔ no, ɛnna wɔde ɔno ara nʼatadeɛ hyɛɛ no, de no kɔeɛ sɛ wɔrekɔbɔ no asɛnnua mu.
21 Now Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and the soldiers forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.
Wɔrekɔ no, wɔhyiaa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon a ɔfiri Kirene a ɔyɛ Aleksandro ne Rufo agya wɔ ɛkwan so. Wɔhyɛɛ no ma ɔsoaa Yesu asɛnnua no.
22 They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.
Wɔde Yesu baa baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ sɛ Golgota a (nʼasekyerɛ ne Nitire so) hɔ.
23 There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.
Ɛhɔ na wɔmaa no nsã nwononwono bi sɛ ɔnnom, nanso wannom.
24 And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.
Afei, wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu. Yei akyi, wɔbɔɔ nʼatadeɛ no so ntonto.
25 It was the third hour when they crucified Him.
Ɛbɛyɛ anɔpa nnɔnkron na wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu.
26 And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Asɛm bi a wɔka too no so na wɔtwerɛɛ taree nʼasɛnnua no atifi ka sɛ, Yudafoɔ Ɔhene.
27 Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.
Ɛda no ara anɔpa, wɔbɔɔ awudifoɔ baanu bi asɛnnua mu kaa Yesu ho. Na ɔbaako sɛn ne nifa so, ɛnna ɔbaako nso sɛn ne benkum so.
Yei maa deɛ Atwerɛsɛm no kaa sɛ, “Wɔkan no fraa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ mu” no baa mu.
29 And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
Nnipa a wɔsen faa hɔ no nyinaa wosowosoo wɔn ti, dii ne ho fɛ sɛ, “Ei, wo ni? Ɛnyɛ wo na woseɛ sɛ, wobɛtumi abubu asɔredan na wode nnansa asi no?
30 come down from the cross and save Yourself!”
Sɛ wose wo ho yɛ nwanwa a, ɛnneɛ siane firi asɛnnua no so si fam.”
31 In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!
Saa ɛberɛ no na asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no nso atwa ahyia hɔ redi Yesu ho fɛw. Wɔkɔɔ so dii ne ho fɛ sɛ, “Ɔgye afoforɔ nanso ɔntumi nnye ne ho!”
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” And even those who were crucified with Him berated Him.
Wɔkɔɔ so dii ne ho fɛ bio sɛ, “Agyenkwa! Yudafoɔ ɔhene! Siane firi asɛnnua no so si fam, na yɛnnye wo nni!” Awudifoɔ a wɔbɔɔ wɔne Yesu asɛnnua mu no mpo dii ne ho fɛ bi.
33 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.
Ɛfiri owigyinaeɛ kɔpem nnɔnmiɛnsa no, esum duruu asase no so nyinaa.
34 At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
Yesu de nne kɛseɛ teaam sɛ, “Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani?” Ase ne sɛ, “Me Onyankopɔn, Me Onyankopɔn, adɛn enti na woagya me?”
35 When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”
Wɔn a wɔgyina hɔ no bi a wɔtee deɛ ɔkaeɛ no kaa sɛ, “Montie sɛ ɔrefrɛ Elia.”
36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He put it on a reed and held it up for Jesus to drink, saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”
Wɔn mu baako tuu mmirika, kɔfaa sapɔ bi, de bɔɔ nsã nwononwono bi mu, de tuaa dua bi ano, de brɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnnom. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Momma yɛnhwɛ sɛ Elia bɛba abɛyi no asi fam anaa!”
37 But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.
Afei, Yesu de nne kɛseɛ teaam bio, na ɔgyaa ne honhom mu wuiɛ.
38 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
Ɛhɔ ara, ntoma a ɛtwa asɔredan no mu no mu suanee mmienu firi soro kɔsii fam.
39 When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how He had breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
Asraafoɔ ɔha so panin a na ɔgyina hɔ no hunuu ɛkwan a Yesu faa so wuiɛ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ampa ara, onipa yi yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba!”
40 And there were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na mmaa bi gyinagyina akyiri baabi rehwɛ deɛ ɛrekɔ so. Mmaa no bi ne Maria Magdalene, Maria a ɔyɛ Yakobo kumaa ne Yosef maame ne Salome.
41 These women had followed Jesus and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and there were many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.
Ɛberɛ a na Yesu wɔ Galilea no, saa mmaa yi dii nʼakyi somm no. Saa ara nso na na nnipa bi a wɔdii nʼakyi baa Yerusalem no bi nso wɔ hɔ.
42 Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
Ɛduruu anwummerɛ no, ɛsiane sɛ na adeɛ kye a ɛyɛ Homeda no enti,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent Council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.
ɔbadwani animuonyamfoɔ bi a, wɔfrɛ no Yosef a ɔfiri Arimatea a, na ɔretwɛn ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn Ahennie no bɛba no de akokoɔduru kɔɔ Pilato hɔ kɔsrɛɛ no sɛ, ɔmfa Yesu amu no mma no.
44 Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.
Ɛberɛ a Pilato tee sɛ Yesu awu no, wannye anni, enti ɔfrɛɛ Roma asraafoɔ panin a na ɔhwɛ hɔ no bisaa no.
45 When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
Asraafoɔ panin no kaa sɛ wawu no, Pilato maa Yosef ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔnkɔfa amu no.
46 So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.
Yosef kɔtɔɔ nwera, yii Yesu amu no firii asɛnnua no so, de nwera no kyekyeree no, ɔde no kɔtoo ɔboda bi a wɔatwa mu, piree ɛboɔ kɛseɛ bi hinii ano.
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
Na Maria Magdalene ne Yosef ne maame Maria wɔ hɔ bi, na wɔhunuu faako a wɔde Yesu amu no toeɛ.
