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).
Phiilaaxoosis Yesuusin fuudhee garafsiise.
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].
Loltoonnis gonfoo qoraattii micciiranii dhaʼanii mataa isaa irra kaaʼan. Isaanis uffata dhiilgee isatti uffisanii,
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
“Akkam ree, yaa Mootii Yihuudootaa!” jechaa gara isaatti deddeebiʼaa turan. Isas ni kabalan.
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].”
Phiilaaxoos amma illee gad baʼee Yihuudootaan, “Akka ani balleessaa tokko illee isa irratti hin argatin akka beektaniif kunoo ani isa gad isiniifin baasa” jedhe.
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
Yesuusis gonfoo qoraattii kaaʼatee, wayyaa dhiilgees uffatee gad baʼe; Phiilaaxoosis, “Namichi kunoo ti!” isaaniin jedhe.
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.”
Luboonni hangafoonnii fi qondaaltonni isaanii yommuu isa arganitti, “Fannisi! Fannisi!” jedhanii iyyan. Phiilaaxoos immoo deebisee, “Isin ofuma keessanii fuudhaatii isa fannisaa malee ani balleessaa tokko iyyuu isa irratti hin arganne” jedheen.
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]}.”
Yihuudoonnis deebisanii, “Nu seera qabna; namichi kun waan Ilma Waaqaa of godheef akka seera keenyaatti duʼuu qaba” jedhan.
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
Phiilaaxoosis yommuu dubbii kana dhagaʼetti ittuma caalchisee sodaate.
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.
Innis masaraatti ol deebiʼee, “Ati nama eessaati?” jedhee Yesuusin gaafate. Yesuus garuu deebii tokko iyyuu hin kennineef.
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}?”
Phiilaaxoosis, “Ati na jalaa dubbachuu diddaa? Akka ani gad si dhiisuuf taayitaa qabuu fi akka ani si fannisuuf taayitaa qabu ati hin beektuu?” jedheen.
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.”
Yesuus immoo, “Ati utuu olii siif kennamuu baatee silaa taayitaa tokko illee narratti hin qabdu ture. Kanaaf inni dabarsee sitti na kenne sun cubbuu cubbuu caalu qaba” jedhee deebiseef.
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!”
Phiilaaxoosis yeroo sanaa jalqabee Yesuusin gad dhiisuu barbaada ture; Yihuudoonni garuu, “Ati yoo namicha kana gad dhiifte michuu Qeesaar miti. Namni mootii of godhu kam iyyuu Qeesaariin morma” jedhanii iyyan.
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.
Phiilaaxoosis yommuu dubbii kana dhagaʼetti Yesuusin gad baasee, iddoo “Dhagaa Afamaa” kan afaan Ibraayisxiitiin “Gabataa” jedhamutti barcuma murtii irra taaʼe.
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!”
Guyyaan sunis guyyaa Qophii Faasiikaa ture; yeroon isaas gara saʼaatii jaʼaa ture. Phiilaaxoosis Yihuudootaan, “Mootiin keessan kunoo ti!” jedhe.
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!”
Isaan garuu, “Isa balleessi! Isa balleessi! Isa fannisi!” jedhanii iyyan. Phiilaaxoos immoo, “Mootii keessan fannisu moo?” jedhee gaafate. Luboonni hangafoonnis, “Nu Qeesaar malee mootii biraa hin qabnu” jedhanii deebisaniif.
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.
Kanaaf Phiilaaxoos akka inni fannifamuuf dabarsee isaanitti kenne. Isaanis Yesuusin fuudhanii deeman.
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.
Innis fannoo ofii isaa baadhatee iddoo Buqqee Mataa kan afaan Ibraayisxiitiin Golgootaa jedhamutti ol baʼe.
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.
Isaanis achitti isa fannisan; isa wajjinis namoota biraa lama, isa tokko garanaan, kaan immoo garasiin, Yesuusin immoo gidduu isaaniitti fannisan.
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’.
Phiilaaxoosis Katabbii, Yesuus Isa Naazreeti, Mooticha Yihuudootaa, jedhu tokko barreessee fannoo sanatti maxxanse.
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.
Iddoon Yesuus itti fannifame waan magaalaatti dhiʼoo tureef Yihuudoonni hedduun katabbii sana dubbisaniiru; katabbiin sunis afaan Ibraayisxiitiin, Laatiinii fi Giriikiin barreeffame.
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’!”
Luboonni Yihuudootaa hangafoonni Phiilaaxoosiin, “Namichi kun, ‘“Ani mootii Yihuudootaa ti” jedheera’ jedhii barreessi malee, ‘Inni Mootii Yihuudootaa ti’ jettee hin barreessin” jedhan.
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
Phiilaaxoosis, “Ani waanan barreesse, barreesseera” jedhee deebise.
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.
Loltoonni sunis erga Yesuusin fannisanii booddee kittaa isaa hambisanii wayyaa isaa fuudhanii akka tokko tokko isaan gaʼuuf iddoo afuritti hiratan. Kittaan sun hin hodhamne; olii hamma gadiittis dhaʼaa tokko ture.
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.
Kanaafuu isaan, “Kottaa hin tarsaasnuu; garuu ixaa buufannee akka inni kan eenyuu taʼu ilaallaa” waliin jedhan. Kunis akka Katabbiin Qulqulluun, “Isaan wayyaa koo hiratan; uffata koottis ixaa buufatan” jedhu sun raawwatamuuf taʼe. Wanni loltoonni godhanis kanuma.
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].
Fannoo Yesuus biras haati isaa, obboleettiin haadha isaa, Maariyaam niitiin Qilophaatii fi Maariyaam isheen Magdalaa dhaabatanii turan.
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.”
Yesuusis yommuu haadha isaatii fi barataa inni jaallatu sana utuu inni ishee cina dhaabatuu argetti haadha isaatiin, “Dubartii nana! Kunoo, ilma kee” jedhe.
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].
Barataa sanaan illee, “Kunoo haadha kee” jedhe; barataan sunis saʼaatii sanaa jalqabee gara mana isaatti ishee fudhate.
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!”
Ergasii Yesuus akka wanni hundinuu raawwatame beekee akka Katabbiin Qulqulluun raawwatamuuf, “Nan dheebodhe” jedhe.
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.
Qodaan dhangaggaaʼaa qabu tokko achi ture; isaanis dhangaggaaʼaa sana keessa ispoonjii cuuphanii hiisophiitti kaaʼanii afaan isaatti qaban.
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]).
Yesuusis dhangaggaaʼaa sana fudhatee, “Raawwateera” jedhe. Mataa buusees hafuura isaa kenne.
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]}.
Guyyaan sun guyyaa Qophii ture; guyyaan itti aanus Sanbataa addaa ture. Kanaafuu akka reeffi isaanii Sanbataan fannoo irra hin oolle gochuuf jedhanii akka miilli isaanii cabsamee fannoo irraa gad buufamuuf Yihuudoonni Phiilaaxoosin kadhatan.
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.
Kanaafuu loltoonni dhaqanii miilla namicha jalqabaa, miilla namicha Yesuus wajjin fannifame kaaniis cabsan.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
Yommuu gara Yesuus dhufanitti garuu inni duʼe waan arganiif miilla isaa hin cabsine.
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].
Loltoota sana keessaa inni tokko garuu eeboodhaan cinaacha isaa waraane; yeruma sana dhiignii fi bishaan baʼe.
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].
Namni waan kana arge rageesseera; ragaan isaas dhugaa dha. Inni akka dhugaa dubbatu ni beeka; inni akka isinis amantaniif dubbata.
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}.”
Kunis wanni Katabbiin Qulqulluun, “Lafeen isaa tokko iyyuu hin cabsamu” jedhe sun akka raawwatamuuf taʼe.
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
Ammas Katabbiin Qulqulluun biraa, “Isaanis isa waraanan sana ni ilaalu” jedha.
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].
Ergasii Yoosef namni Armaatiyaa kan sababii Yihuudoota sodaateef dhoksaan barataa Yesuus ture sun reeffa Yesuus fudhachuuf Phiilaaxoosin kadhate. Phiilaaxoosis isaaf eeyyame; kanaafuu inni dhaqee reeffa Yesuus fudhate.
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).
Niqoodemoos inni duraan halkaniin gara Yesuus dhufee tures walmakaa qumbiitii fi argeessa gara kiiloo giraamii soddomii afur ulfaatu qabatee dhufe.
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].
Isaanis reeffa Yesuus fuudhanii akka duudhaa Yihuudootaatti awwaaluuf urgooftuu wajjin huccuu quncee talbaa irraa hojjetameen kafanan.
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].
Iddoo Yesuus itti fannifames lafa biqiltuu tokkotu ture; lafa biqiltuu sana keessas iddoo awwaalaa haaraa kan namni tokko iyyuu duraan itti hin awwaalamin tokkotu ture.
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].
Sababii guyyaan sun guyyaa Qophii Yihuudootaa turee fi iddoon awwaalaa sunis waan dhiʼoo tureef Yesuusin achi keessa kaaʼan.
