John 19
1 Then Pilate scourged Jesus.
U Bilatus tsi Yesu ni panlan.
2 And the soldiers braided a crown of thorns, and put it on his head; and they clothed him in purple garments:
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 they said: Hail, king of the Jews! and smote him on his cheeks.
Ba wlu ye niwu, nda tre, “Ndu Irji ziwu gbron nkon, Ichu Yahudawa!” nda wru'u.
4 And Pilate went out again, and said to them: Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find against him no offence 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 And Jesus went forth, having on him the crown of thorns, and the purple garments. And Pilate said 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 And when the chief priests and officials saw him, they cried out, and said: Hang him; hang him. Pilate said to them: Take ye him, and crucify him; for I find no offence 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 say to him: We have a law, and, according to our law, he deserveth death, because he made himself the 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 And when Pilate heard that declaration, he feared the more.
Wa Bilatus a wo naki na tie sissri kpukpome.
9 And he went again into the Praetorium; and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? And 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 said to him: Wilt thou not speak to me? Knowest thou not, 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 said to him: Thou wouldst have no authority at all over me, if it were not given to thee from on high: therefore his sin who delivered me up to thee, is greater than thine.
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 And for this reason, Pilate was disposed to release him. But the Jews cried out: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: for whoever maketh himself a king, is the adversary of 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 And when Pilate heard this declaration, he brought Jesus forth, and sat upon the tribunal, in a place called the pavement of stones; but in Hebrew it is called 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 And it was the preparation for the passover; and it was about the sixth hour. And he said 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: Away with him, away with him; hang him, hang him. Pilate said to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests said to him: 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 he delivered him to them, that they might crucify him. And they took Jesus, and led him away,
U Bilatus a ka Yesu chuwo ni bawu ni ndu ba hi giciye wu.
17 bearing his cross, to a place called a Skull, and in Hebrew called 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 two others with him, the one on this side, and the other 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 also wrote a tablet, and affixed it to his cross. And thus it was written: THIS IS JESUS THE NAZAREAN, KING OF THE JEWS.
Bilatus mba nha yo gban nitu giciye. Niki ba nha ndi: “YESU U NAZARET, ICHU YAHUDAWA.
20 And many of the Jews read this label; because the place where Jesus was crucified, was near to Jerusalem; and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and 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 And the chief priests said to Pilate: Write not that he is 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 said: What I have written, I have written.
Bilatus tre, “Ikpe wa mi nha mi nha naki.”
23 And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parcels of them, a parcel for each of the soldiers. And his tunic was without seam from the top, woven throughout.
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 And they said one to another: We will not rend it, but will cast the lot upon it, whose it shall he. And the scripture was fulfilled, which said: They divided my garments among them; and upon my venture they cast the lot. These things did the soldiers.
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 there were standing near the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, and Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalena.
Iyii Yesu, u vayi yima vren wa, Maryamu iwa Klofas, ni Maryamu Magdaliya ba kri whi ni giciye u Yesu'a.
26 And Jesus saw his mother, and that disciple whom he loved, standing by, and he said 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 And he said to that disciple: Behold, thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her near himself.
Nda hla ni almajiri, “To, Iyi me!” Rji ni nton kima ivren koh ma a njiwu nda hi ni koh ma.
28 After these things, Jesus knew that every thing was finished; and, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said: 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 And a vessel was standing there, full of vinegar. And they filled a sponge with the vinegar, and put it on a hyssop stalk, and bore it 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 And when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said: Lo; Done. And he bowed his head, and yielded 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 And because it was the preparation, the Jews said: These bodies must not remain all night upon the cross: because the sabbath was dawning; and the day of that sabbath was a great day. And they requested of Pilate, that they should break the legs of those crucified, and take them down.
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 And the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
U soja ba ye nzi za indji u mumla na nzi wu ha waba giciye ba baba Yesu.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead; and they broke not his legs.
U ba ye nitu Yesu na to nda a kwu ye, u bana nzi za mana.
34 But one of the soldiers thrust a spear into his side; and immediately there issued 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, hath testified: and his testimony is true: and he knoweth, that he speaketh the truth, 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 occurred, that the scripture might be fulfilled, which said: A bone of him shall not be broken.
Ba ti naki ni ndu lantre ma, ndi shu, “kwukwu ma riri me bana mre na.”
37 And again another scripture, which saith: They will look on him, whom they pierced.
U lan tre ri tre, “Ba ya indji wa ba t'bu'a.”
38 After these things, Joseph of Ramath, (for he was a disciple of Jesus, and kept concealed through fear of the Jews, ) requested of Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted. And he came, and bore 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 there came also Nicodemus, (he who previously came to Jesus by night, ) and he brought with him a compound of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
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 and they bore away the body of Jesus, and wound it in linens and aromatics, as it is the custom of the Jews to bury.
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 And there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new sepulchre in which no person 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 And there they laid Jesus, because the sabbath had commenced, and because the sepulchre was near.
Nitu wa a hi vi u mlati-mlati u Yahudawa, ibe'a he whewhre, u ba ka Yesu yo ni mi.
