< John 19 >

1 Then therefore, Pilate took Jesus, and scourged him.
Popelapo Pilato walamumanta Yesu ne kumukwipisha.
2 And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple garment.
Lino bashilikali balabamba mushini wa myunga nekumufwalika kumutwi. Kayi balamufwalika mwinjila wamushobo wabulemu ufubeluka,
3 And they came to him, and said: Hail, king of the Jews; and they gave him blows.
balikabesa kulyendiye nkabambeti, “Mitende, mobami ba Bayuda!” Pacindici balatatika kumuma.
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them: Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him.
Pilato walapula pansa kayi nekubambila Bayuda, “Kamubonani ndamulete kuli njamwe, neco mwinshibe kwambeti ndiya kumucanapo ne mulandu uli wonse.”
5 (Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man.
Popelapo Yesu walapula nkali afwala mushini wa myunga kumutwi ne cakufwala cifubeluka cisa, Pilato walambeti, “Uyu muntusa.”
6 When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants, had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause 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 him: We have a law; and according to the 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 When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more.
Lino Pilato mpalanyumfwa maswi awa, walanyumfwa buyowa kwine.
9 And he entered into the hall again, and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
Nomba walengila kayi munga'nda nekwipusha Yesu, “Nomba obe kwenu nikupeyo?” Nsombi Yesu nkalakumbula sobwe.
10 Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?
Kayi Pilato walamwipusheti, “Nicani nkolankumbulunga? Sena nkocinsheti nkute ngofu sha kukusungulula nekukupopa?”
11 Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee, hath the greater sin.
Yesu walambeti, “Lesa, abula kumupa ngofu nemuliya kwinsapo ciliconse palinjame. Weco uyo wanjaba kuli njamwe ukute bwipishi bunene.”
12 And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar’s friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.
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 Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha.
Pilato mpwalanyumfweco, walamupulisha Yesu, nekwikala pacipuna cakomboloshelapo milandu, pabusena bwalikukwiweti, “Lubansa lwa mabwe.” Mu cihebeli ukute kukwiweti, Gabata.
14 And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith 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 saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
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 therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.
Popelapo Pilato walamutwala Yesu kulyendibo kwambeti bamupope. kufumapo Yesu walaba mumakasa abo.
17 And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but 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 midst.
Kopeloko balamupopa palusanda. Kayi balapopa bantu bambi babili, umbi kulikasa lyalulyo naumbi kulikasa lya kucipiko, Yesu nendi walikuba pakati.
19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pilato walalemba cishibisho pelu palusanda. Walalembeti, “Yesu wa kuNasaleti, Mwami wa Bayuda.”
20 This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, 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 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part, ) and also his coat. Now the 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 They said then one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lot. And the soldiers indeed 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 of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
Nomba pepi ne lusanda palemana banyina, ne mukwabo banyina, kayi palikuba Maliya mukashendi klopa ne Mariya wa ku magadalena.
26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
Lino Yesu mpalabona banyina ne shikwiya usa ngwalikusuna nkabalibemana pepi, walambila banyina eti, “Ma mwanenu uno.”
27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.
Walambila kayi shikwiya usa eti, “Banyoko aba.” Lino kufumina popelapo shikwiya usa walabamanta batukashi abo ne kutatika kubasunga cena kwakendi.
28 Afterwards, 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 there was a vessel set there full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, 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 Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.
Yesu mpalasupita waini wasasa walambeti, “Byonse bilakwanilishiwa.” Lino walakotama mutwi nekufwa.
31 Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve, ) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day, ) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
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 The soldiers therefore came; and they 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 after they were come to Jesus, when they 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 with a spear opened his side, 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, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also 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: You shall not break a bone of him.
Ibi byalenshika kwambeti byalambwa mumabala bikwanilishiwe, mabala akwambeti, “Nteshi bakatyokole lifupa lyakendi nambi limo.”
37 And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.
Kayi kuli mabala nambi alambangeti, “Bantu nibakamwebele uyo ngobalayasa.”
38 And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he 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 leave. He came therefore, and took 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 And Nicodemus also came, (he who at the first came to Jesus by night, ) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
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 They took therefore the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
Bantu babili aba balamanta mubili wa Yesu nekupomba mucikwisa caswepa ne mafuta anunkila cena, balakonka mwambo wa Bayuda.
41 Now there was in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.
Uko Yesu nkwalapopwa kwalikuba libala. Nomba mulibala umo mwalikuba cumbwe calino lino, citana cibikwamo muntu.
42 There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
Lino bwalikuba busuba bwa kulibambila kwa Bayuda kusekelela Pasika, Nomba manda ayo alikuba pepi, balabika Yesu mopelomo.
