John 19
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
Pilato ma wɔbɔɔ Yesu mmaa.
2 And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
Asraafoɔ no de nkasɛɛ nwonoo ahenkyɛ de hyɛɛ Yesu; afei, wɔde atadeɛ kɔkɔɔ nso hyɛɛ no.
3 and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.
Wɔdii ne ho fɛw, bobɔɔ no asotorɔ, kaa sɛ, “Yudafoɔ ɔhene, wo nkwa so!”
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.
Pilato firii adi kɔka kyerɛɛ ɛdɔm no bio sɛ, “Mɛsane de no abrɛ mo ama moahunu sɛ menni asɛm biara a mɛgyina so abu no fɔ.”
5 (Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!
Ɛberɛ a Yesu firii adi baeɛ no, na ɔhyɛ ahenkyɛ a wɔde nkasɛɛ anwono ne atadeɛ kɔkɔɔ. Pilato ka kyerɛɛ dɔm no sɛ, “Onipa no ni!”
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.
Ɛberɛ a asɔfoɔ mpanin ne awɛmfoɔ no hunuu Yesu no, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Bɔ no asɛnnua mu! Bɔ no asɛnnua mu!” Pilato ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo ara ankasa momfa no nkɔ nkɔbɔ no asɛnnua mu, ɛfiri sɛ, menni asɛm biara a mɛgyina so abu no fɔ.”
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.
Yudafoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Yɛwɔ mmara a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔwu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkaa sɛ, ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba.”
8 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,
Ɛberɛ a Pilato tee asɛm a wɔkaeɛ no, ɔbɔɔ hu yie.
9 and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
Ɔsane kɔɔ ahemfie hɔ kɔbisaa Yesu sɛ, “Ɛhe na wofiri?” Nanso Yesu ammua no.
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?
Pilato bisaa no sɛ, “Woremmua me anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ wohunu sɛ, mewɔ tumi sɛ megyaa wo na mewɔ tumi nso sɛ mema wɔbɔ wo asɛnnua mu!”
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 buaa no sɛ, “Sɛ Onyankopɔn amfa saa tumi no amma wo a, anka wonni me so tumi biara. Enti onipa a ɔde me brɛɛ wo no na wayɛ bɔne a ɛso.”
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.
Ɛberɛ a Pilato tee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no, ɔhwehwɛɛ ɛkwan bi a ɔbɛfa so agyaa no. Nanso, Yudafoɔ no teateaam sɛ, “Sɛ wogyaa no a, na wonyɛ Kaesare adamfo! Obiara a ɔyɛ ne ho ɔhene no tia Kaesare!”
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;
Ɛberɛ a Pilato tee asɛm a Yudafoɔ no kaeɛ no, ɔde Yesu firii adi na ɔbɛtenaa nʼatemmuo adwa so wɔ faako a wɔfrɛ hɔ Aboɔ Nsɛmeeɛ, a Hebri kasa mu, ɛyɛ “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!
Adeɛ rebɛkye ama Twam Afahyɛ no aduru so no, ɛbɛyɛ owigyinaeɛ no. Pilato ka kyerɛɛ Yudafoɔ no sɛ, “Mo ɔhene no ni!”
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.
Ɛdɔm no nso teateaa mu bio sɛ, “Fa no kɔ! Bɔ no asɛnnua mu!” Pilato bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mopɛ sɛ mebɔ mo ɔhene no asɛnnua mu anaa?” Asɔfoɔ mpanin no kaa sɛ, “Yɛn ɔhene a yɛwɔ ara ne Kaesare!”
16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.
Afei, Pilato de Yesu maa Yudafoɔ no sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ no asɛnnua mu.
17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
Enti, wɔde Yesu a nʼasɛnnua da ne kɔn ho no kɔɔ kuro no mfikyire baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ “Nitire So” hɔ, a Hebri kasa mu ɛyɛ “Golgota.”
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.
Ɛhɔ na wɔbɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu. Wɔbɔɔ nnipa baanu bi nso asɛnnua mu kaa ne ho. Na ɔbaako sɛn ne benkum so ɛnna ɔbaako nso sɛn ne nifa so a Yesu sɛn wɔn mfimfini.
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.
Pilato twerɛɛ sɛ: Yesu Nasareni, Yudafoɔ Ɔhene maa wɔde taree nʼasɛnnua no atifi.
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.
Esiane sɛ faako a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu ne kuro no mu ɛkwan nware, na bio wɔatwerɛ nsɛm no wɔ Hebri, Roma ne Hela kasa mu no enti, nnipa bebree hunu kenkaneeɛ.
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.
Yudafoɔ asɔfoɔ mpanin no ka kyerɛɛ Pilato sɛ, “Ntwerɛ sɛ, ‘Yudafoɔ ɔhene’ na mmom twerɛ sɛ, ‘Saa ɔbarima yi na ɔkaa sɛ, mene Yudafoɔ ɔhene!’”
22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
Pilato kaa sɛ, “Deɛ matwerɛ no, matwerɛ.”
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.
Asraafoɔ no bɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu wieeɛ no, wɔkyɛɛ ne ntadeɛ mu maa asraafoɔ ɛnan no. Na saa atadeɛ no yɛ atadeɛ bi a, wɔanwono firi ne ɔsoro kɔsi ne fam a ɛnni mpameeɛ.
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.
Asraafoɔ no nyinaa kaa sɛ, “Mommma yɛnntete mu. Momma yɛmmɔ so ntonto na yɛnhunu onipa a ɔbɛnya.” Adeɛ a wɔyɛeɛ yi sii sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Atwerɛsɛm a ɛka sɛ, “Wɔkyekyɛɛ me ntadeɛ mu, bɔɔ so ntonto faeɛ” no bɛba mu. Deɛ asraafoɔ no yɛeɛ ne no.
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.
Nnipa a na wɔgyina Yesu asɛnnua no ho pɛɛ no ne ne maame, ne maame nuabaa, Maria, a ɔyɛ Kleopa yere ne Maria Magdalene.
26 Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
Yesu hunuu ne maame ne osuani a ɔdɔ no no sɛ wɔgyina hɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne maame sɛ, “Ɔbaa, wo ba nie.”
27 Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ osuani no sɛ, “Wo maame nie.” Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, osuani no faa no ne no kɔtenaeɛ.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
Saa ɛberɛ no, Yesu hunuiɛ sɛ afei deɛ biribiara aba nʼawieeɛ, na sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Atwerɛsɛm no bɛba mu no enti, ɔkaa sɛ, “Osukɔm de 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.
Wɔde sapɔ a ɛtua hisope ano bɔɔ nsã a emu keka mu de kaa nʼano.
30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
Yesu nom wieeɛ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Mawie!” Ɔkaa yei wieeɛ no, ɔsii ne ti ase na ɔgyaee ne honhom mu.
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.
Na da no yɛ ahosiesie da, na Yudafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no mpɛ sɛ wɔma amu no sensɛn asɛnnua no so kɔsi nʼadekyeeɛ a wɔbɛdi Twam Afahyɛ no. Enti, wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Pilato sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wɔbubu nnipa no nan sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛtumi ayiyi wɔn amu no afiri asɛnnua no so.
32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
Asraafoɔ no kɔbubuu ɔbarima a ɔdi ɛkan a ɔka nnipa baanu a wɔbɔɔ wɔne Yesu asɛnnua mu ho no nan; wɔwieeɛ no, wɔkɔbubuu ɔbarima a ɔtɔ so mmienu no nso nan.
33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,
Nanso wɔduruu Yesu so no, wɔhunuu sɛ ɔno deɛ, na wawu dada enti wɔammubu ne nan bi.
34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
Asraafoɔ no mu baako de ne pea wɔɔ ne mfe maa mogyasufi firi ne mfe mu baeɛ.
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.
Onipa a ɔhunuu deɛ ɛsiiɛ no na wadi ho adanseɛ. Nʼadanseɛ no yɛ nokorɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo nso mobɛgye adi.
36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.
Yeinom nyinaa sii sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Atwerɛsɛm a ɛka sɛ, “Wɔremmu ne dompe bi”
37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
ne “Nnipa bɛhwɛ deɛ wɔwɔɔ ne mfe mu pea” no bɛba mu.
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.
Yei akyi no, Yosef a ɔfiri Arimatea a ɛsiane Yudafoɔ ho hu enti, na ɔyɛ Yesu suani wɔ kɔkoam no kɔsrɛɛ Pilato sɛ ɔmma no ɛkwan na ɔnkɔyi Yesu amu no. Pilato penee nʼadesrɛ no so. Ɛno enti, ɔkɔyii Yesu amu no.
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].
Nikodemo a da bi anadwo ɔkɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn no nso de kurobo ne aduhwam mfrafraeɛ a emu duru bɛyɛ kilogram aduasa mmiɛnsa baeɛ.
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.
Wɔn baanu no de nwera ne aduhwam mfrafraeɛ no kyekyeree Yesu amu no sɛdeɛ Yudafoɔ ɛkwan a wɔfa so sie wɔn amu no teɛ no.
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.
Na ɔboda foforɔ bi a wɔnsiee obi wɔ mu da wɔ turo bi a ɛbɛn baabi a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu no.
42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
Esiane sɛ na saa ɔboda no bɛn no enti, wɔsiee Yesu amu no wɔ hɔ.
