John 19
1 Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus, and scourged him.
Bongo Pilato apesaki mitindo ete bakamata Yesu, mpe abetisaki Ye fimbu.
2 And, the soldiers, plaiting a crown out of thorns, placed it upon his head, and, a purple robe, cast they about him;
Basoda basalaki ekoti na banzube mpe balatisaki Ye yango na moto; balatisaki Ye lisusu nzambala ya motane.
3 and kept coming unto him, and saying—Joy to thee! O King of the Jews!—and were giving unto him smart blows.
Bazalaki koya koloba na Ye: « Mbote, mokonzi ya Bayuda! » Mpe babandaki kobeta Ye bambata.
4 And Pilate went forth again outside, and saith unto them—See! I lead him unto you outside, that ye may take knowledge, that, no single fault, do I find in him.
Pilato abimaki lisusu mpe alobaki na bango: — Botala! Nayei na Ye na libanda epai na bino mpo boyeba ete ngai nazwi Ye na mabe moko te.
5 Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, wearing the thorn crown, and the purple mantle. And he saith unto them—Lo! the Man!
Boye, Yesu abimaki alata ekoti ya nzube mpe nzambala ya motane. Pilato alobaki na bango: — Moto yango, ye oyo!
6 When, therefore, the High-priests and the officers saw him, they cried aloud, saying—Crucify! Crucify! Pilate saith unto them—Ye, take him, and crucify; for, I, find not in him, a fault.
Tango kaka bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakengeli bamonaki Yesu, babandaki koganga: — Baka ye na ekulusu! Baka ye na ekulusu! Kasi Pilato azongisaki: — Bino moko, bokamata ye mpe bobaka ye na ekulusu; ngai nazwi ye na mabe ata moko te.
7 The Jews answered him—We, have, a law, and, according to the law, he ought to die, because, Son of God, himself, he made.
Bayuda balobaki na molende nyonso: — Tozali na Mobeko; mpe kolanda Mobeko na biso, asengeli kokufa, pamba te amikomisi Mwana na Nzambe.
8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid;
Tango Pilato ayokaki maloba wana, abangaki lisusu makasi.
9 and entered into the judgment-hall again, and saith unto Jesus—Whence, art, thou? But, Jesus, gave him no, answer.
Azongaki lisusu kati na ndako ya moyangeli mpe alobaki na Yesu: — Ozali moto ya mboka nini? Kasi Yesu apesaki ye eyano te.
10 Pilate, therefore, saith unto him—Unto me, dost thou not speak? Knowest thou not, that, authority, have I to release thee, and, authority, have I to crucify thee?
Pilato alobaki na Ye: — Boni, oboyi kozongisela ngai eyano? Oyebi te ete ngai nazali na makoki ya kobaka yo na ekulusu mpe ya kotika yo?
11 Jesus answered him—Thou couldst have had no authority against me, at all, if it had not been given unto thee from above. Therefore, he that delivered me unto thee, hath, greater sin.
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Okokaki kozala na bokonzi moko te likolo na Ngai soki epesamelaki yo te wuta na likolo. Yango wana, moto oyo akabi Ngai na maboko na yo asali lisumu monene koleka.
12 For this cause, Pilate, began seeking to release him; but, the Jews, cried aloud saying—If this man thou release, thou art not a friend of Caesar, for, every one who maketh himself king, speaketh against Caesar.
Kobanda kaka na ngonga wana, Pilato akomaki koluka nzela ya kotika Yesu; kasi Bayuda babandaki lisusu koganga: — Soki otiki ye, wana ozali na yo moninga ya Sezare te! Pamba te moto nyonso oyo amikomisi mokonzi azali monguna ya Sezare.
13 Pilate, therefore, when he heard these words, led Jesus outside, and sat down upon a raised seat, in a place called Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
Tango Pilato ayokaki bongo, amemaki Yesu na libanda mpe avandaki na esambiselo, na esika oyo babengaka, na lokota ya Arami, « Gabata. »
14 Now it was the preparation of the passover, —it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews—See! your King!
Ezalaki mokolo ya suka mpo na kokoma na mokolo ya Pasika, na ngonga ya midi. Pilato alobaki na Bayuda: — Botala mokonzi na bino!
15 They, therefore, cried aloud—Away! away! Crucify him! Pilate saith unto them—Your king, shall I crucify? The High-priests answered—We have no king but Caesar!
Kasi babandaki koganga: — Boma ye! Boma ye! Baka ye na ekulusu! Pilato alobaki na bango lisusu: — Nasengeli penza kobaka mokonzi na bino na ekulusu? Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bazongisaki: — Tozali kaka na Sezare lokola mokonzi, mokonzi mosusu azali te!
16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.
Pilato akabaki Yesu na maboko na bango mpo ete babaka Ye na ekulusu. Boye, bakamataki Yesu mpe bakendeki na Ye.
17 And, bearing for himself the cross, he went forth unto the so-called Skull-place, which is named, in Hebrew, Golgotha;
Yesu amemaki, Ye moko, ekulusu na Ye; abimaki na engumba mpe akendeki na esika oyo babengaka, na lokota ya Arami, « Gologota. »
18 where, him, they crucified; and, with him, other two, on this side and on that, and, in the midst, Jesus.
Ezalaki na esika yango nde babakaki Yesu na ekulusu, elongo na bato mosusu mibale: moko, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Yesu; mosusu, na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi.
19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and placed on the cross; and there was written—JESUS, THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pilato akomaki na libaya, makomi oyo atiaki na ekulusu; akomaki: Yesu, moto ya Nazareti, Mokonzi ya Bayuda.
20 This title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because, near, was the place to the city where Jesus was crucified; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.
Lokola esika oyo babakaki Yesu na ekulusu ezalaki pene ya engumba, Bayuda ebele batangaki makomi yango, pamba te bakomaki yango na lokota ya Ebre, lokota ya latino mpe lokota ya Greki.
21 The High-priests of the Jews, therefore, were saying unto Pilate—Do not be writing, The King of the Jews; but that, he, said: King of the Jews, I am.
Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe balobaki na Pilato: — Osengelaki te kokoma: « Mokonzi ya Bayuda; » osengelaki nde kokoma: « Moto oyo alobaki: ‹ Nazali mokonzi ya Bayuda. › »
22 Pilate answered—What I have written, I have written!
Kasi Pilato azongisaki: — Makambo oyo nakomi ekotikala kaka ndenge wana.
23 The soldiers, therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, unto each soldier, a part; also the tunic. Howbeit, the tunic was without seam, from above, woven throughout.
Sima na basoda kobaka Yesu na ekulusu, bakamataki bilamba na Ye mpe bakabolaki yango na biteni minei: soda moko na moko azwaki eteni moko. Bakamataki mpe nzambala na Ye, oyo ezalaki ya kotongama te, kasi ezalaki kaka elamba moko, kobanda na likolo kino na se.
24 They said, therefore, one to another—Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose, it shall be; —that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled—They parted my garments amongst them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots: —yes verily, the soldiers, these things did.
Basoda balobanaki bango na bango: — Topasola yango te, kasi tobeta zeke mpo na koyeba soki nani akozwa yango. Esalemaki bongo mpo ete Makomi oyo ekokisama: « Bakabolaki bilamba na ngai kati na bango mpe babetaki zeke mpo na nzambala na ngai. » Ezali makambo wana nde basoda basalaki.
25 And there were standing by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene.
Tala bato oyo batelemaki pene ya ekulusu ya Yesu: Mama na Ye, ndeko mwasi ya mama na Ye, Mari oyo azalaki mwasi ya Klopasi, mpe Mari ya mboka Magidala.
26 Jesus, therefore, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved, saith unto his mother—O woman, see! thy son!
Tango Yesu amonaki ete moyekoli oyo azalaki kolinga atelemi pembeni ya mama na Ye, alobaki na mama na Ye: — Mwasi, tala mwana na yo!
27 Afterwards, he saith unto the disciple—See! thy mother! And, from that hour, the disciple took her unto his own home.
Mpe alobaki na moyekoli yango: — Tala mama na yo! Boye, kobanda na tango wana, moyekoli yango azwaki mama ya Yesu mpo ete akoma kovanda na ndako na ye.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that, already, all things, have been finished, —that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith—I thirst!
Sima na yango, wana Yesu asosolaki ete makambo nyonso esili kosalema, abimisaki maloba oyo mpo ete Makomi ekokisama: — Nayoki posa ya mayi.
29 A vessel, was standing, full of vinegar. A sponge, therefore, full of the vinegar, put about, hyssop, brought they unto his mouth.
Lokola ezalaki na mbeki moko etonda na vino ya ngayi pembeni ya esika yango, batiaki, na songe ya nzete moko ya izope, eponze moko epola na vino yango ya ngayi mpe batombolaki yango kino na monoko ya Yesu.
30 When, therefore, he had received the vinegar, Jesus said—It is finished! And, bowing his head, delivered up his spirit.
Tango kaka Yesu amelaki vino yango ya ngayi, alobaki: — Nyonso ekokisami. Bongo, akitisaki moto mpe azongisaki molimo na Ye.
31 The Jews, therefore, since it was, a preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross during the Sabbath, —for that Sabbath day was, great, requested Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away.
Lokola ezalaki mokolo ya komilengela mpo na Saba, mpe lokola Saba yango ezalaki na tina makasi, Bayuda balingaki te ete bibembe etikala na ba-ekulusu na tango ya Saba. Boye, bakendeki kosenga epai ya Pilato ete apesa mitindo ya kobuka makolo ya bibembe oyo ezalaki na likolo ya ba-ekulusu mpe ya kolongola banzoto na bango.
32 The soldiers, therefore, came; and, of the first, indeed, brake the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him, —
Basoda bayaki mpe babukaki makolo ya mibali nyonso mibale oyo babakaki na ba-ekulusu elongo na Yesu; babandaki na moko, bongo balekaki na oyo mosusu.
33 but coming, unto Jesus, when they saw that, already, he was dead, they brake not his legs; —
Wana ekomaki ngala ya makolo ya Yesu, bamonaki ete Yesu amikufelaki; mpe babukaki lisusu te makolo na Ye.
34 but, one of the soldiers, with a spear, pierced, his side, and there came out, straightway, blood and water.
Moko kati na basoda atobolaki mopanzi ya Yesu na nzela ya likonga; mpe mbala moko, makila mpe mayi ebimaki na mopanzi yango.
35 And, he that hath seen, hath borne witness; and, genuine, is his testimony, and, he, knoweth that he saith, what is true, that, ye also, may believe.
Moto oyo azali kopesa litatoli na tina na makambo oyo amonaki yango kosalema na miso na ye, mpe litatoli na ye ezali ya solo; ayebi penza ete azali koloba solo mpo ete bino mpe bondima.
36 For these things came to pass, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled—A bone thereof, shall not be crushed;
Makambo nyonso wana esalemaki bongo mpo ete Makomi oyo ekokisama: « Bakobuka ata mokuwa na Ye moko te. »
37 and, again, a different Scripture, saith—They shall look unto him whom they pierced.
Eteni mosusu ya Makomi elobi: « Bakotala Ye oyo batobolaki mopanzi. »
38 But, after these things, Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having kept it secret for fear of the Jews, requested Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. He came, therefore, and took away his body.
Sima na makambo wana, Jozefi, moto ya mboka Arimate, oyo azalaki moyekoli ya Yesu, kasi na nkuku mpo ete azalaki kobanga Bayuda, asengaki epai ya Pilato ndingisa ya kokitisa nzoto ya Yesu longwa na ekulusu. Pilato apesaki ye ndingisa yango, mpe Jozefi akendeki mpe akitisaki nzoto ya Yesu.
39 There came, moreover, Nicodemus also, —he that came unto him by night at the first, —bearing a roll of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds’ weight.
Nikodemi oyo, na ebandeli, akendeki kotala Yesu na butu, ye mpe ayaki; amemaki bakilo pene tuku misato ya mafuta ya mire basangisa na aloe.
40 So they received the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen-bandages with the spices, —just as it is, a custom, with the Jews to prepare for burial.
Bango mibale bakamataki nzoto ya Yesu mpe balingaki yango na maputa ya lino oyo, kati na yango, batiaki mafuta ya solo kitoko, ndenge ezalaki momesano ya Bayuda mpo na kokunda bibembe.
41 Now there was, in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and, in the garden, an unused tomb, wherein, as yet, no one had been laid.
Pene ya esika oyo babakaki Yesu na ekulusu, ezalaki na elanga moko oyo, kati na yango, ezalaki na kunda moko ya sika epai wapi batikalaki nanu kokunda ata moto moko te.
42 So, there, by reason of the preparation of the Jews, because, near, was the tomb, laid they Jesus.
Lokola, mpo na Bayuda, ezalaki mokolo ya komilengela mpo na Saba, batiaki Yesu kati na kunda yango, pamba te ezalaki pene.
