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).
Mbe pilato amugegele Yes namubhuma.
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].
Bhaliya abhasilikale nibhaluka amawa nokonja olutenga. Nibhaitula ingulu yo mutwe gwa Yesu nihhamufafya omwenda omutukulasi.
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
Nibhamujako nibhaika ati, Awe uli mukama wa Bhayaudi! mbe mbamubhuma kwa mabhoko gabho.
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].”
Mbe pilato nauluka anja nabhabwila abhanu ati,”Lola nabhaletele omunu unu kwemwe koleleki mumenye ati anye nitamubhonako chikayo chona chona kumwene.”
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
Kulwejo Yesu nauluka anja; aliga afyae olutengo lwa mawa no mwenda omutukulasi. Niwo Pilato nabhabwila ati, “Mumulole omunu unu!”
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.”
Kulwejo omwanya omugabhisi omukulu bhejile bhamulola Yesu, nibhamwaya nibhaika ati,”Mumubhambe ku musalabha Pilata nabhabwila ati, “Mumugege emwe abhene mumubhambe ku musalabha, kwokubha anye nitakulola echikayo ku munu unu.
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]}.”
Abhayaudi nibhamusiga ati Pilato,” Aswe chili nebhilagilo, na kulwejo bhilagilo echo chiile afye kwo kubha omwene ekolele kubha mwana wa Nyamuanga.”
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
Pilato ejile ongwa emisango ogwo nongesha okubhaya,
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.
Nengila mwilomelo lindi namubwila Yesu ati, “Awe ousoka aki? Nolwo kutyo, Yesu atamusubhishe.
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}?”
Mbe pilato namubwila ati, “Awe utakwaika nanye? Mbe awe utakumenya ati anyenili no bhuinga obwo kukutatila na nili nobhuinga obwo kukubhamba ku musalabha?
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.”
Yesu namusubya ati, “Utakabhee namaga gonna kwanye alabha utakagabwene kusoka ingulu. Kulwejo omunu unu kasosha kwawe anebhibhi bhinene.”
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!”
Okwingana na lisubyo linu, Pilato endele okumutatila, nawe Abhayaudi nibhamwaya obhulaka nibhaika ati, “Alabha ukamutatila mbe awe utali musani wa Kaisari: Okubhayana unu kekola kubha mukama kamuyenusha kaisari.”
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.
Pilato ejile ongwa emisango jinu namuulusha Yesu anja neya neyanja kuchitebhe cho kulamulila ao amenyekana ku mabhui amatinge, nawe muchiebulania, ni Gabatha.
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!”
Olusiku lwo kwilabha ipasaka lwejile lwakinga, omwanya gwa saa sita ja mumwisi. Pilato namubwila ati Abhayaudi, mulole omukama wemwe nguyu anu!”
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!”
Ni bhamwaya nibhaika ati, “Mumusosheo, mumusosheo mumubhambe ku musalabha!”Pilato nabhabwila ati, “nimubhambe kumusalabha omukama wemwe?” Omugabhisi omukulu nasubya ati, “Eswe chitana mukama tali chili Kaisari ela.”
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.
Niwo Pilato namusosha Yesu kubhene koleleki bhamubhambe kumusalabha.
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.
Niwo nibhamugega Yesu, naulika agegele omusalabha gwae omwene nakinga anu atogwaga Muchianga, muchiebrania natogwa Goligota.
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.
Niwo bhamubhambile Yesu kumusalabha amwi na bhandi bhalume bhabhili umwi lunu no undi lunu, na Yesu agati yebwe.
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’.
Mbe Pilato nandika echimenyegesho nachitula ingulu ya kumusabha. Ao andikilwe ati: YESU MUNAZARETI, OMUKAMA WA BHAYAUDI.
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.
Abhayaudi bhafu nibhasoma echimenyegesho echo chandikilwe mu chiebrania na muchilumi na muchiyunani.
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’!”
Mbe abhakulu bha bhagabhisi bha Bhayaudi nibhamubwila Pilato ati, “Siga kwandika, 'Omukama wa Bhayaudi; tali omwene aikile atianye ni mukama wa Bhayaudi.”
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
Niwo Pilato nabhasubya ati, “Chinu nandikile nicho nandika.”
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.
Bhejile bhamala abhasilikale okumubhamba kumusalabha Yesu, nibhagega ebhifalo byee nibhabhigabha ku migabho ena, bhuli musilikale mugabho gwae, na kutyo ikanju, yaeyaliga itasonelwe tali yaliga ilukilwe kusokelela ingulu.
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.
Mbe nibhaikana ati abhene kwa bhene, “Chisige okuitemula, tali chibhume ikula koleleki chilole eibha yaga.” Linu lisokele koleleki elyandiko likumile elyo lyalomelwe ati bhagabhene emyenda jani no mwenda gwani mbagubhumila ikula.”
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].
Mbe abhasilikale bhakolele emisango jinu. Nyilamwene Yesu, no muyala wejabho, Mariamu omugasi wa Kileopa na Mariamu Magdalena bhaliga bhemeleguyu ayeyi no musalabhagwa Yesu.
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.”
Yesu ejile amolola Nyilamwene ali amwi na uliya omwiigisibwa oyoaliga amwendele emeleguyu ayei, namubwila nyilamwene ati, “Omugasi, lola, omwana wao guyu anu!”
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].
Mbe nabhabwila ati uliya omwiigisibwa, “Lola, unu Nyokomwana wao. “Okusoka omwanya ogwo omwiigisibwa namugega namusilaika owae.
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!”
Mbe kulwejo, Yesu aliga amenyele ati byona byamalile okukumwisibwa koleleki elyandiko elyoaikile ati, “obhulilo bha nyita.”
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.
Echinu chaliga chijue isiki, kulwejo nibhatulao sifongo lijuye isiki nibhamutulila kumunwa gwae.
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]).
Mbe nawe Yesu ejile aloja isiki, naika ati, “Jawa.” mbe nenamya omutwe gwae, nasosha omwoyo.
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]}.
Mbe lwa kutyo kwalinga luli lusiku lwo mwanya gwo kwilabha, kwobha emibhili jitendibwaga okusigala ingulu yo musalabha ku mwanya gwa isabhato (kulwejo isabhato lwaliga lusiku lukulu), Abhayaudi nibhamusabwa Pilato okubhafuna amagulu gebwe need mibhili gebwe bhagisosheko.
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.
Niwo abhasilikale nibhaja nibhafuna amagulu go munu wo kwamba no wakabhili oyo aliga abhambilwe amwi na Yesu.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
Bhejile bhamukingila Yesu, mbamusanga afue, kulwejo bhatamufunile amagulu gaye.
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].
Nolwo kutyo, umwi wa bhasilikale namusoma Yesu kulubhafu na lichumu, nigasoka amanyinga na manji.
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].
Unu alolele linu nasosha obhubhambasi, no bhubhambasi bwaye ni bwe chimali. Omwene kamenya echo kaika niche chimali koleleki emwe ona mwikilishe.
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}.”
Emisango jinu jabheyeo koleleki omusango ogwo gwandikilwe gukumisibwe, “Atabheyeo nolwo wae umwi oyo afunilwe.”
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
Elyandiko lindi elyaika ati, “Bhalimulola unu abhobhamusomele”
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].
Jegile jawa emisango jinu Yusufu wa Arimathaya, unu aliga mwigisibwa was Yesu, nawe Ali mumbise nobhaya abhayaudi, amusabhile Pilato ati agugege omubhili gwa Yesu. MbePilato nekilisha niwo Yusufu naja nagusoshao omubhili gwa Yesu.
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).
Mbe Nicodemo unu amulubhile Yesu ingeta ona naja. Omwene aletele ebyo bhisasise ebya mafuta na malange bhuli no bhusito bwa latili egana.
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].
Kulwejo nibhagenda omubhili gwa Yesu nibhagusinga mumwenda amwi nibhilange, lwa kutyo jitungwa ja abhayaudi omwanya gwo kusika kwebwe.
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].
Mbe anu Yesu abhambilweo yaliga iliyo ibhusitani na yalinga ilimo ifya inyaya ichali kweswamo omunu.
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].
Mbe, okubha yaliga lusiku lwo kwilabha kwa Bhayaudi, na kutyo ifya yaliga ili yei nibhamwesa Yesu omwo.
