John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus [inside and had soldiers] (scourge Jesus/strike Jesus with a whip that had pieces of metal or bone fastened to it).
Bilatus mali Yeesu.
2 The soldiers also took [some branches with] thorns and wove them to make [something like] a crown. Then they put it on his head. They also put a purple robe on him. [They did these things to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
nob gwam nebo ku yilang duwe la cin yo Yeesu neti dor cin mer ciyene beller liyar.
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
cin bo fiye co wiye ciki dumwe a kutange liya Yafudawa. la ci tee co.
4 Once more Pilate came outside and said to the crowd, “Look! I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him [any more].”
Bilatus yila ceri kale yi ci to man bo kumen ki nii co be no kom nyomom mafiya cubo ki kange bwirangke”
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
Yeesu cero ki yilangk duwek cwakek kange kure na liyaro ce Bilatus ki nii co wo.
6 When the chief priests and Temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross! Crucify him!” Pilate, [knowing that they could not legally do it themselves], said to them, “You yourselves take him and nail him to a cross! As for me, I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him.”
kange nobo dur webero wali kange tikertiyeu cin tam Yeesu, dila ci kwakiyyangti ciki a kulkenso, kulkenso la Bilatu ki kom tuco kom kulken mi mafiya chobo ki kerobwidi.”
7 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “[Our ancestor Moses gave us] the law that says we must kill anyone [who claims to be God]. This man claims that he is (the Son of/the man who is also) God, [so you must have him killed] {[command your soldiers to kill him]}.”
la Yafudawa ci yi coki yonweki bwirangka kange nurwarka con daten bwar wori cin nyoken dorcero na bi bwe kwama”
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
Bilatu nuwa kero wo nyori la con cwa coko.
9 So he [took Jesus] back inside the headquarters. He said to Jesus, “Where do you [really] come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
yila daten bwar kun gwam na, nyi Yeesu mocelufe?” layecu bciya cinen bo.
10 So Pilate said to him, “Are you refusing to answer me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I [also] have authority to [have] you crucified {command my soldiers to crucify you}?”
la Bikatu yico ki mani ma ciyayeti? mo nyombo miweki bigwan inyagum kan mwe, yila ma nyamgu kanti. kurkene
11 Jesus replied, “The only authority you have is what has been given to you by God [MTY] {what God [MTY] has given you}. The [high priest] put me into your hands. [He has done to me what he wanted to do, and you do not really want to do it]. So he is guilty of committing a greater sin than you are.”
Yeesu diye cine, mo manki be gwam dor mi naci, ne nefiren di kwamari, nyori wo neke ye moneneu co nii bwirangkeu,”
12 Because of that, Pilate kept trying to release Jesus. But the Jewish [leaders][SYN], [threatening to report to the Emperor that Pilate was not going to punish a man who claimed he was a king], continued to shout, “Anyone who claims that he is a king is opposing the Emperor! So if you release this man, [we will make sure that] the Emperor [learns about it, and then he will not consider you as] his friend!”
dila co nuwa nyori, la Bilatu mani naci yemgum kancine, la Yafudawa kun dir ciyero ciki na mo nyongum nii wo nindi bo kebo farar kaicar no nii wo tuken dor cero na liyari, in kan kaicar ni.
13 When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out again. He sat down at the place where he made decisions [about punishing people]. The place was called {People called it} The Stone Pavement. In the Aramaic language its name was Gabbatha.
la Bilatu nurank kero belonabo la celu ki Yeesu kare nyara. nyike kabum kutirece fiye cico tike fiye bwirangke wo Yafudawa co tiki Gabbata”
14 It was almost noontime, on the day that they prepared [things for] the Passover [celebration] (OR, the day before the [Sabbath during] the Passover [celebration]). Pilate said to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [ridiculing them], “Look at your king!”
ki kakukowo ci yelank, lank dulubme yamkati, ki kwama kene nukune. la ki kakun, Bilatu yi Yafudawa “liya kume wo”
15 They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! [Have] him crucified {Command your soldiers to nail him to a cross}!” Pilate said to them, “[He is] your king! Do you really want me to [tell my soldiers to] nail him to a cross?” The chief priests replied, “The Emperor is our king! We do not have any other king!”
la ci kwadiro yangenki co, yanken ki co. Bilatu nyi ci ki kulken liya kume ka? la nobo dur wabero ki cin manki liya kange no kebo kaicar dii.
16 Then [at last] Pilate agreed to do [what they wanted, and he told the soldiers] to crucify Jesus. John 19:16b-24 Then the soldiers took Jesus away.
la Bilatu nici Yeesu naci kulken co.
17 [As they left], he himself was carrying the cross [on which they were going to nail him]. They went to a place called The Place of a Skull. In the Aramaic language it is called {they call it} Golgotha.
la cin yeken ki Yeesu cero ki beteren bwiti yakenti cuika fiwo Yafudawa coti ki golgota”
18 There, [after removing most of his clothes], the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They also [nailed] two other [criminals to crosses]. There was one on each side, and Jesus was in the middle.
cin kulken Yeesu fiye co nobo kangum nyob, kulken ci Yeesu la tiber cinyer.
19 Pilate also [had them] write [on a board] a notice [that stated why they were executing him], and fasten it to the cross. But all they wrote was ‘Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews’.
Bilatu mulangti yurombo dor bentilen bwetiye YEESU BANAZARE, LIYA YAFUDAWA.
20 Many Jews were [able to] read this sign, because the place where Jesus was nailed {where they nailed Jesus} to the cross was very close to [Jerusalem, where many people had come for the celebration], and because it was written {they wrote it} in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
Yafuda duco cin kiye yurom bowo wori fiye ci nyom Yeesu wiyeu bi dom kange cinalou.
21 So the Jewish priests went back to Pilate and protested, saying to him, “Change what they have written from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘This man said that he is the King of the Jews’!”
la nobo dur waber Yafudawa, ci yi Bilatu ki mulangti muki liya Yafudawa. mulang moki yiki co liya Yafudawa.””
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
Bilatu ciya, ki dii kewo co.
23 After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak [separate]. This cloak was without seam, woven [from top to bottom], one piece of cloth.
la nob bi gwanem cin kulken Yeesu ci worangum billeceu kifiti nyo nar, nob bigwanebo ki ciye, yilank ciyegu woranm tau dii yanken cu co bitine.
24 So they said to each other, “Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s [decide] ([by] throwing lots/[by] gambling) who will get it.” So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that [the Psalmist had written] in Scripture, They divided [most of] my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for [one piece of] my clothing.
la ciyi bwiti tii cike bo worak bilengke ci nyib dige co toke birinka wori kom ki kom ne bilengke
25 Near the cross where [they had nailed] Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and [another] Mary, the woman from Magdala [village].
nob bigwan nebo balangum dikge wo no Yeesu, kange yitim cobo kange maryamu weikilofa, kange maryamu magadaliya. natuwo tim bidom kange fiye ci nyom Yeesu wii ye.
26 Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, “This man [will now be like] your son.”
la Yeesu to neceri kange nii bwangka wo co cwitiye tem bidom, yiki to na we to be bweme.”
27 And he said to me, “[Treat this] woman as [MET] your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home [and took care of her].
la to nii bwanka, to nemwen nob bwangka ce co tuco yangke co ko lo.
28 Later, Jesus knew that everything [that God sent him to do] had now been completed {that he had now completed everything [that God sent him to do]}, [but he knew that something else that was written in] the Scriptures [had] to be fulfilled {[that he had] to fulfill [something else that they had written in] the Scriptures}. So he said, “I am thirsty!”
na wo nyeu Yeesu nyumom digero mor kwamare ma dim. la nyi ciki co nuwa durometi
29 There was a jar of sour wine there. So [someone took] a stalk of [a plant called] hyssop and [fastened] a sponge [to it. Then] he dipped [the sponge into the wine and] lifted it up to Jesus’ lips.
cwi kanciyen kollo timwe ki mwebo fur cin doti cukko mwero bwotiye kange cin neco nico.
30 When Jesus tasted the sour wine, he shouted, “[I] have finished [all that I came to do]!” Then he bowed his head and (died/handed over his spirit [to God]).
la Yeesu cun mobowo furi nyori “laye ciki dim la cunke ki dor cero lademkan dume ce ni.
31 That was the day that they prepared [everything for their] ([Sabbath/day of rest]). The next day was a special day of rest, [because it was the day of rest during the Passover celebration]. The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not want the bodies [of the three men] to remain on the cross during their (Sabbath/day of rest) [because leaving bodies hanging overnight would be contrary to their Jewish laws]. So they went to Pilate and asked him [to command that] the legs [of the three men on the crosses] be broken {the [soldiers] to break the legs [of the three men on the crosses]}, [so that they would die quickly]. Then their [bodies] could be taken down [and buried] {someone could take down their bodies [and bury them]}.
la Yafudawa, wori kakun yerank kari ci domti bwiciye dor bantilank bwe tiye na yaken kaku foka (wori kakun furkako nyori fiyeci weye) cin kinan Bilatu na ciyeco na cugum ci
32 So, [after Pilate agreed], the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man whom they had nailed on a cross near Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the second man.
la nob bigwannebo bo. kiyalum na nubo burumbo nii kaba nii yobe bulo ci yuci wori kange Yeesu.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
cin bou cifiya Yeesu bweyam ci keyanbo na ciyeko.
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear [to make sure that Jesus was dead]. Immediately blood [clots] and [other] liquid flowed out, [which showed that Jesus was really dead].
dila wii nob bi gwanne boning gwico kiya dange buyare kange mwebo ti ceri.
35 I, [John], saw this myself, and what I am writing is true. I [know that] I am telling the truth, and I am saying this in order that you may believe [in] (OR, [my testimony about]) [Jesus].
buro towo ciya yilam nii warka. warka ceco birinke.
36 These things happened in order that these words would be fulfilled {to fulfill these words} [that are written in] Scripture: “Not one of his bones will be broken {No one will break any of his bones}.”
ci tokwo naci dim bifumer kwamaro kunko kange mani wo ciya kiyan tiye.”
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
kange bifumero toki, bon nii wo cikwareu.
38 Later, Joseph, from Arimathea [town, went to Pilate and] asked Pilate [to allow him] to take Jesus’ body [down from the cross]. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but he did not tell anyone that, because he was afraid of the [other] Jewish [leaders] [SYN]. Pilate permitted him to take Jesus’ body, so he went, along [with others], and they took Jesus’ body [down from the cross].
bwiko dige borumbo, Yusufu nii Armatiya, con wi win mor nob tomange Yeesu, dila temi tai Yafudawa, yaken Bilatu a naco bwi Yeesu. Bilatu neco, Yusufu bõti bwiyo.
39 Nicodemus was one of them. He was the man who previously went to visit Jesus at night. Nicodemus bought an [expensive] mixture of myrrh and aloe [spices to put on the body]. It weighed about (75 pounds/35 kilograms).
ni ko dimu ken bõ wuro ki kabo bõ Yeesu nin ki dila bõnuwan ficange womur doceu kange alul wo lam tutum cwanka kweni kwabe.
40 They took the body of Jesus and wrapped strips of linen cloth around it, putting the spices in with the strips of cloth. They did this according to the Jewish customs [about burying bodies in tombs].
dila ci tuti bwi Yeesu ciyoken co yilanforka kange nuko ficen ficenye. naci yimkan bõ na nur banka Yafudawa ceu.
41 Close to the place where Jesus was crucified {where they nailed Jesus to the cross} there was a grove [of trees], and [at the edge of] that grove was a new burial cave. Nobody had ever been put in that cave [previously].
fiye ciya ci yumce we kange tekewi, muro tekeu tuwe kangewi woci forumbo nii weye.
42 The Jewish day of rest would start [at sunset, and they had to finish burying his body before then]. So, since that cave was nearby, they laid Jesus’ body there [and rolled a huge stone in front of the entrance].
du waleu kaku yolanka Yafudawa tuwe bi la ci dogken Yeesu borece.
