John 19
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
U Bilatus tsi Yesu ni panlan.
2 And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
Soja ba chan inchon tie na u bi ta chu. Ba ban son ni Yesu nitu nda sru nklon u bi chu niwu.
3 and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.
Ba wlu ye niwu, nda tre, “Ndu Irji ziwu gbron nkon, Ichu Yahudawa!” nda wru'u.
4 And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.
U Bilatus la kma rju ye ra nda hla, “To mba, mi nji wu ni ye ni yiwu ni ra ndu yi toh ndi mi na vu ni lahtre na.”
5 (Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!
U Yesu a rju hi ni ra ni nchon tu chu'a ni tuma. Bilatus a tre, “Toyi, ngye ndji'a yi.”
6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify [him]. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify [him], for I find no fault in him.
Ni Pristoci bi ninkon-ninkon ma ni bi no chu'a mren ba to Yesu, u ba lu ni tre gbangban me, u du ba giciye wu, ndu ba giciye wu.” U Bilatus hla bawu, “Ban hi giciye, ime me mina to ni lahtre ni kpeti na.”
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.
U Yahudawa ba hla niwu, “Ai ki he ni tron, ni du tron abi ni ndu kwu ni tu wa ka tuma tie Vren Irji.”
8 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,
Wa Bilatus a wo naki na tie sissri kpukpome.
9 and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
Wa la lu ri hi ni trangon, u gona minye Yesu, “U rji ni ntsen?” u Yesu na la sa niwu ngana.
10 Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?
U Bilatus tre ni wu, u na sa nimu na? Una to ndi me he ni gbengblen wa mi kpa'u chuwo a na, ni la giciye niwu na?
11 Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.
Yesu hla niwu, “Ai u na he ni gbengble na se ka ba no gbengble rji ni shu. Niti ki, indji wa a ka nowu a zan ni lahtre.”
12 From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.
Niwo wu naki, u Bilatus ni wa gon wa ani chuwu chuwo, u Yahudawa ba ba lu tre ngban me andi, “U ta ka guyi chuwo, una ikpan Kaisar na, indji wa a ka tuma tie chu, a kpa Kaisar tsri.”
13 Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;
Ni wa Bilatus a wo bi tre mba wa ba si tre'a, na nji Yesu rju ni hra na kuson ni riron ma ni bubu wa ba yo ndi, tragon u bla tre ni Yahudawa ba yo, “Gabbata.”
14 (now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour; ) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!
U ni vi kima ba mla ki ti ni gben idin u za gran, ni nton krifi tanne mba ni gbengbe rji. Bilatus hla ni Yahudawa “yayi, ingye Ichu mbi!”
15 But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
U ba lu yra gro, ndu ba njiwu hi, ndu ba njiwu hi, ndu ba giciye niwu, Bilatus minye ba, “Mi giciye ni Chu mbi?” Pristoci bi ninkon ba tre, “Kina he ni ichu rina se Kaisar.”
16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.
U Bilatus a ka Yesu chuwo ni bawu ni ndu ba hi giciye wu.
17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
U ba nji Yesu na hi, na ban giciye'a kima, ni hi ni bubu wa ba yo, “Bubu kwukwu ni Yahudawa mba (Golgota).”
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.
U ba giciye niki, ni indji hari bari, iri ni ko ni nhama ko rime, Yesu mba he ni tsutsu.
19 And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.
Bilatus mba nha yo gban nitu giciye. Niki ba nha ndi: “YESU U NAZARET, ICHU YAHUDAWA.
20 This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.
Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba krawu igban nitu bubu wa giciye Yesu i whewhre ni mi gbu. Yo gban a he ni l'be Yahudawa, ni Romawa, ni Helenawa.
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.
U Pristoci bi ninkon bi Yahudawa ba ndi, ndu na nha ndi Ichu Yahudawa na, u tre, 'Iwa yi tre ndi, “Ime yi Mi Chu Yahudawa.'””
22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
Bilatus tre, “Ikpe wa mi nha mi nha naki.”
23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.
Ni kogon wa soja ba giciye Yesu, u ba ban nklon ma, nda y'ba ga'u tie nhama nzah, ko nha niwu ma, ngbala, u nklon ba na wran na ba ka klo ki klo ni shu ye ni meme.
24 They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.
U ba hla ni kpamba, kina y'ba nklon na, ye ki ta chacha ni tuma ni to indji wa ani ban wu. Ba tie naki ni ndu lan tre Irji ndu shu wa a tre ndi, “Ba ga nklon Mu ni kpamba, na ta chacha nitu nklon Mu.” Wayi a kpe wa Sojoji ba tie.
25 And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
Iyii Yesu, u vayi yima vren wa, Maryamu iwa Klofas, ni Maryamu Magdaliya ba kri whi ni giciye u Yesu'a.
26 Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
Niwa Yesu a toh yima ni vren koh ma wa ani son'a, ba kri whewhre, a hla ni Yi Ma, “Iwa, toh Vren me!”
27 Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
Nda hla ni almajiri, “To, Iyi me!” Rji ni nton kima ivren koh ma a njiwu nda hi ni koh ma.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
Ni kogon kima, ni toh ndi ko ngyeri a tie kleye, u ni ndu lantre Irji'a he towa ba hla, Yesu a tre ndi, “Hlan mma ni tie Me.”
29 There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.
Ni ngbala ko mba imma inabi a he ngbala shu ni gbu lan nda sa yra, u ba ka soso sun ni mi imma inabi wa'a sayra na lowu ni kpala na zu ka sun ni wu ni nyu.
30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
Niwa Yesu mah imma wa a sayra, na tre, “A kle.” Na ka tu ma ti grji na chu vri ma.
31 The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day], ) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.
U Yahudawa, ba to a hi vi u mlati mati, bana son ni ndu kpon'a kru ni giciye'a na, ni nton u idin na (idin'a a vi u ndindima) (special), u ba bre Bilatus ni ndu nzi za mba ni grji ba zi.
32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
U soja ba ye nzi za indji u mumla na nzi wu ha waba giciye ba baba Yesu.
33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,
U ba ye nitu Yesu na to nda a kwu ye, u bana nzi za mana.
34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
Naki me, iri ni mi soja ba, akama na tu bu ni mashi ni san, hihari me iyi mba mma ba rju.
35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.
Indji wa to iki'a, wawu yi shaida, shaida ma a u njanji. A to ndi ikpe wa a tre a njanji ni ndu yi me kpa nyeme.
36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.
Ba ti naki ni ndu lantre ma, ndi shu, “kwukwu ma riri me bana mre na.”
37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
U lan tre ri tre, “Ba ya indji wa ba t'bu'a.”
38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.
Ni kogon biyi, Yusufu igu u Arimatiya, wa ahi almajiri Yesu (A riri, nitu sissri Yahudawa) a bre Bilatus ndu wawu gon ndu wawu ban k'mo Yesu. Bilatus no gon, u Yusufu ye ban ik'mo'a.
39 And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].
Nikodimus ngame aye, wa ni mumla a ye ni Yesu ni chu. A nji turare u myrrh mba aloes, a tiewhre lita deri ni ron ma.
40 They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.
U ba ban kmo Yesu na nyewu, ni pri ni kpi be nyen whi riro, ni ndu ba rju na wa du Yahudawa he.
41 But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
Ni bubu wa ba giciye niwu la bu ri he niki, ni mi labu'a ibe ri a he ni ki wa bana rju ndrjori to na.
42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
Nitu wa a hi vi u mlati-mlati u Yahudawa, ibe'a he whewhre, u ba ka Yesu yo ni mi.
