John 19
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
Kangi, Pilatu akalagiza vamtola Yesu na kumtova michapilu.
2 And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
Vala manjolinjoli vakabota njingwa ya minga, vakamuwalika kumutu, vakamuwalika nyula ya chinkosi langi ya zambalau.
3 and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.
Vakavya kumbwelela palongolo yaki na kujova, “Tikuwoni, Nkosi wa Vayawudi!” Kuni vakumpamanda.
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.
Pilatu akahuma kuvala kavili, akaujovela msambi wula, “Lola, nikumgotola mundu uyu kwinu, muhotola kumanya kuvya nene nichiwene lepi chindu chochoha cheabudili cha kumuhamula.”
5 (Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!
Hinu, Yesu, akahuma kuvala kuni awalili njingwa ya minga na nyula ya chinkosi. Pilatu akavajovela, “Mlola! Mundu mwene ndi uyu.”
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.
Vakulu va kuteta na valonda pavamuwene vakayangula. “Mvambayi pamsalaba! Mvambayi pamsalaba!” Pilatu akavajovela. “Mwavene mumtola hinu, mukamvamba muni nene nichiweni lepi chindu cheabudili.”
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.
Vayawudi vakamyangula, “Tavete tivii nagu Malagizu, na malagizu gitu gijova, yikumgana afwayi, ndava mwene ajidetekisi kuvya Mwana wa Chapanga.”
8 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,
Pilatu peagayuwini malovi ago, akayogopa neju.
9 and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
Kangi Pilatu akayingila munyumba ya unkosi, akamkota Yesu, “Veve uhumili koki?” Nambu Yesu amyangwili lepi chindu.
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?
Pilatu akamjovela, “Wu, wibela kulongela na nene? Wu, umanyi lepi kuvya nene nihotola kukudindulila na nihotola kulagiza uvambiwa pamsalaba?”
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 akamyangula, “Ngauvi lepi na uhotola panani yangu changali kupewa na Chapanga. Ndava yeniyo yula mweaniletili kwaku ambudili neju.”
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.
Kutumbula penapo, Pilatu alonda njila ya kumlekekesa Yesu, nambu Vayawudi vakaywanga. “Ngati umlekekisi mundu uyu, veve nkozi lepi wa nkosi wa ku Loma, mundu yoyoha mweajikita kuvya nkosi akumpinga nkosi mkulu wa Loma!”
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;
Hinu, Pilatu peayuwini malovi ago akamuhumisa Yesu kuvala, akatama pachigoda cha uhamula, pandu pepikemelewa “Luvanja lwelutengenizwi kwa maganga.” Amala kwa Chiebulania Gabata.
14 (now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour; ) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!
Yavi lukumbi lwa muhi, ligono la kutendelekela Pasaka. Pilatu akavajovela Vayawudi, “nkosi winu ndi uyu!”
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.
Vene vakaywanga, “Mkomayi! Mkomayi! Mvambayi pamsalaba?” Pilatu akavakota, “Wu, nimvamba pamsalaba nkosi winu?” Vakulu va kuteta vakayangula, “Tete tivii lepi na nkosi yungi nambu nga nkosi wa ku Loma!”
16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.
Hinu, Pilatu akamgotola Yesu mumawoko gavi muni vamvambayi pamsalaba. Manjolinjoli, vakamtola Yesu.
17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
Yesu akahuma kuni agegili msalaba waki, mbaka pandu pepikemelewa “Libangu la Mutu.” Kwa Chiebulania pikemelewa Goligota.
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.
Penapo ndi pavamvambili pamsalaba, na pamonga nayu vavavambili pamisalaba yavi vandu vangi vavili mmonga upandi wa kulyela na yungi upandi wa kumangeya, Yesu ndi pagati yavi.
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.
Pilatu akayandika likokoso pachibau akakivika panani ya msalaba, akayandika, “Yesu Mnazaleti Nkosi wa Vayawudi.”
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.
Hinu, Vayawudi vamahele vasomili likokoso ilo, muni pandu peavambiwi Yesu pamsalaba pavi papipi na muji. Kangi likokoso lenilo layandikwi kwa Chiebulania na Chilatini na Chigiliki.
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.
Hinu, Vakulu va kuteta vakamjovela Pilatu, “Kotoka kuyandika. ‘Nkosi wa Vayawudi,’ Nambu mundu uyu ajovili kuvya, ‘Nene ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi.’”
22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
Pilatu akayangula, “Geniyandiki gala nimali, kuyandika!”
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.
Manjolinjoli pevamali kumvamba Yesu pamsalaba, vakazitola nyula zaki, vakavika malundu mcheche, kila mmonga na lilundu laki. Mewawa vakatola na lijoho laki la unkosi, lijoho ilo labotiwi kwa chipandi chimonga ndu, changali kutotewa.
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.
Manjolinjoli vala, vakajovesana. “Tikotoka kuyipapula, muni titova kula yati livya la yani.” Lijambu lenili lahengiki muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gegijova, “Vagavini nyula zangu, Na nyula yangu vakayitovela kula.” Ndi, chevahengili vala manjolinjoli.
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.
Papipi na msalaba wa Yesu vayimili nyina waki Yesu, na mlumbu wa nyina waki na Maliya mdala wa Kileopa, na Maliya Magidala.
26 Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
Yesu peamuwene nyina waki, na papipi yaki ayimili muwuliwa yula mweamganili, akamjovela nyina waki. “Mau, Lola, mwenuyo ndi mwana waku.”
27 Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
Kangi akamjovela muwuliwa yula. “Lola, mwenuyo ndi nyina waku.” Na kutumbula lukumbi lula muwuliwa yula akamtola atama kunyumba yaki.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
Yesu amanyili kuvya goha gamali kutimila, muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimilayi, akajova, “Niyuana njota.”
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.
Penapo pavi na nkele weumemili divayi yivavanu. Hinu vakajwiga litonji mudivayi yivavanu vakavika mulungoda lwa mkongo weukemiwa hisopo, vakamvikila pamlomo.
30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
Yesu peamali kupewa divayi yivavanu yila, akajova, “Goha gatimili!” Kangi akagundama mutu, akafwa.
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.
Yavi ijumaa, ligono la kutendelekeha. Ndava muni, higa yikoto kutama pamsalaba Ligono la Kupumulila, muni ligono ilo lavi likulu kwa Vayawudi. Hinu vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakamuyupa Pilatu, magendelu ga vala vevavambiwi pamsalaba gadenyewayi na higa zavi ziwusiwayi.
32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
Manjolinjoli vakahamba, vakayidenya magendelu ga mundu wa upandi wa kumangeya na yula wa upandi wa kulyela vevavambiwi pamisalaba pamonga na Yesu vala.
33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,
Nambu pavamhikili Yesu vamkoli amali kufwa, ndi vamdenyili lepi magendelu.
34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
Nambu mmonga wavi amuhomili Yesu muluvafu na mgoha, bahapo yikahuma ngasi na manji.
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.
Mwene yula mwealoli lijambu lenilo, alijovili muni na nyenye musadika. Na aga geajovili ndi uchakaka, kavili mwene imanya kuvya ijova chakaka.
36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.
Lijambu lenili lahengiki muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimila. “Kawaka hati lijege laki limonga lelidenyewa.”
37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
Mewawa Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova. “Vakumlola yula mwevamuhomili.”
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.
Pagamaliki genago, Yosefu mkolonjinji wa Alimatei, akamuyupa Pilatu kuyihulusa higa ya Yesu kuhuma pamsalaba. Yosefu avi mulanda waki Yesu, nambu chamfiyu, muni ayogwipi vachilongosi wa Vayawudi. Ndi Pilatu akamyidakila, Yosefu ahambili kuyiwusa higa ya Yesu.
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].
Yosefu alongosini na Nikodemu, mweamuhambili Yesu kimihi, akabwela agegili mahuta gegikemelewa manemane gegahangisini na ubani vibaba selasini.
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.
Hinu voha vavili vakayitola higa ya Yesu, na kuyitindisila nyula ya msopi pamonga na mahuta ago ngati cheyavili mivelu ya Vayawudi pakuvika higa mulitinda.
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.
Pandu pala pevamvambili Yesu pamsalaba, pavi na lidimba palidimba lenilo pavi na litinda la mupya lelavi lakona kumvika mundu yoyoha mugati yaki.
42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
Ndava ya mahengu ga Vayawudi ga kutendelekeha Ligono la Kupumulila, ndava litinda lenilo lavi papipi vakamuvika Yesu mwenumo.
