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).
O Pilato amwejile oYesu na hushete.
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].
Bhala asikari bhapotile aminvwa nalenganye taji. Bhaibheha pitwe lya Yesu na hukwatizye amenda ge rangi ye nshamwamu nshamwamu.
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
Bhamwenzela na aje, “Awe mwene wa Yahudi! na hukhome hu makhono 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].”
O Pilato afumile honze na bhabhozye abhantu, “Enyaji embaletela ono omuntu hulimwe aje mumanye ane senalilolile ibhibhi lyalyonti muhati yabho.”
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
Eshi oYesu afumile honze; ali akwete etaji ye minvwa na menda amashamwamu. O Pilato ayanga, “Enyaji abhozya mwenyi omuntu ono epa!”
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.”
Omuda ochungaji ogosi wa gosi nabhahalola oYesu, bhakhoma ekelele bhaga, “Yenvyaji, yenvyaji.” O Pilato abhabhozya, “Mwenji amwe mwemwe muyenvyaje, afuatanaje ane sendilola akosa muhati yakwe.”
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]}.”
Ayahudi bhabhozya oPilato, “Ate tili ne ndajizyo, na hundajizyo yeeyo ehwanziwa afwe afuatanaje omwene ahwilola aje mwana wa Ngolobhe.”
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
O Pilato nahonvwa enongwa ezyo azidile ahwogope,
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.
ahinjila Mpraitorio nantele na hubhozye oYesu, “Awe ofuma hwii? Ata sheshi, oYesu sagayanjile.
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}?”
Nantele iPilato abhozya, “Aje, awe soyanga nane? Aje, awe somenye aje ane endi nouwezo wa humwigugulile no uwezo wa huyemvye?”
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.”
O Yesu ajile, “Ogali ne nguvu ashile ane ogalisopewilwe afume amwanya. Eshi, omuntu wanefwizye huliwe ali ne mbibhi engosi.”
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!”
Afumilane ni jibu eli, oPilato ahanzaga ahuleshe weene, ila Aayahudi wahakhoma ekelele bhaga, “Nkashe obhahuleshe wene awe soli wamwabho oKaisari: Shila wahwibheha aje mwene ayanga shingunga sha 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.
O Pilato na honvwa enongwa aleta oYesu honze nantele ahakhala pitengo lye lonzi pala papamanyi she aje sakafu, ila hushiEbrania, Gabhatha.
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!”
Isiku lye maandalizi ge pasaka nalyafishile, omuda gwe saa tanda. O Pilato abhozya Ayahudi, “Enyaaji omwene wenyu ono epa!”
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!”
Bhakhoma ekelele, “Sogozi, sogozi, muyenvye!” O Pilato abhabhozya, “Aje eyenvye omwene wenyu?” Wope Ochungaji ogosi ajile, “Ate setili no mwene ila o Kaisari.”
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.
O Pilato nkafumya oYesu hwabhene aje ayenvewe.
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.
Wope bhamwega oYesu, wope wafuma, ohu anyemuye eshikhobhe hanyo shakwe yoyo paka hula hufuvu litwe, hu Shiebrania bhaiga hu 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.
Nkabhayenvya oYesu na bhala alume bhabhele, omo oupande ou owamwabho oupande ou, no Yesu pahati yabho.
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’.
O Pilato ahandiha eshimanyilo na bheshe pamwanya pashi khobhehanyo. Epo pahandihwe: YESU WENAZALETI, OMWENE WA YAHUDI.
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.
Abhinji bha Yahudi bhabhazya eshimanyilo esho pantu pala pabhayenvezye oYesu pali pepe ne khaaya. Eshi manyilo esho shahandihwe hushi Ebrania, hushi Rumi na hushi Yunani.
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’!”
Ogosi bha dimi bha Yahudi bhabhozya oPilato, “Sio hwandishe, 'Omwene wa Yahudi; ila omwene ajile ane endi mwene Wayahudi.”
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
Wope oPilato ajile, “Genandishe enandishe.”
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.
Askari nabhayenvya oYesu, bhahega amenda gakwe na gagabhanye vilondo viine, shila sikari ilondo limo, Shesho inkanzu, lila selyalilisonilwe ila lyali litabhilwe lyonti afumile pamwanya.
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.
Bhakwepelana bhebho hu bhebho, “Tinganje alipasule ila tikhome yekola aje libhe lyananu.” Eli lyafumiye aje lila izu likamilishe, lila lyalyajile bhagabhenye amenda gane, no ninkanza lyane bhakhomeye ekola.”
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].
Asikari bhabhombile embombo ezi. Onyina wakwe oYesu, no dada wa nyina wakwe, oMariamu oshe wa Kleopa no Mariamu Magedelena - abhashe ebha bhali bhemeleye pepe neshi khobhehanyo sha 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.”
O Yesu nalolile onyina wakwe pamonola omwanafunzi wagene bhemeleye peepe, abhozye onyina wakwe, “Wee shee, enya, lola omwana waho ono epa!”
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].
Abhozya omwanafunzi, “Enya, ono epa onyina waho. “Afume esala eyo ola omwanafunzi amwega abhale akhaya yakwe.
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!”
Baada yelyo, o Yesu amenye aje gonti gamalishe gamalishiye aje akamilisye amaazu, ajile, “Elola eshomelwa.”
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.
Eshelelo shashilimemile shali shibhehwelwe pala, bhabheha esifongo yememile Isiki pamwanya ye ufito we hisopo, bhabheshela mwilomu lyakwe.
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]).
Wope oYesu naibhonga ezyo, ajile, “Emalishe.” Pamande aundamiha itwe lyakwe, aibheha eroho yakwe.
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]}.
Afwatanaje waali wakati wahwiyandaale, afuatanaje amabele segahanziwaga asagale pashikhobhehanyo owakati we Sabato (afuatanaje eSabato yaali ye muhimu), ayahudi bhalabhile oPilato aje amagaga gabho bhala bhabhali bhayenvezewa gabudulwe, naje na mabeele gabho bhagisye.
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.
Osikari ahenza abudule amagaga gamuntu owa kwanza no wa bhele ali ayonvewa pandwemo no Yesu.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
Nabhafishila oYesu, bhamweje afwiye eshieshi sebhabudula amagaga gakwe.
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].
Ata sheshi omo wa sikari alese oYesu hu mbazu ne mpalala, gahafuma amenze gidanda.
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].
Wope walolile eli afumwizye olweteho no lweteho lwakwe lwe lyoli. Omwene amenye hayanjile he lyoli aje namwe mweteshele.
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}.”
Enongwa ezi zyahali aje lila izu lyalya ya ngwilwe nkalifishile, “Nomo hata omo wamwene waibudulwa.”
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
Nantele izu lyamwabho liyiga, “Bhahumwenya omwene wabhalese”
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].
Baadaye nongo ezi oYusufu we Arimathaya, afuatanaje ali mwanafunzi wa Yesu, ila shi siri abhogope Ayahudi, alabhile oPilato aje agweje obele gwa Yesu. Wope oPilato apiye oluhusa. O Yusufu ahenza agwefwe obele 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).
Wope o Nikodemo ola olwahwande wafwatile oYesu no siku wope ahenzele. Omwene aletile osangano manemane no udi, oumwamuwe latili mia e yeeka.
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].
Bhahega obele gwa Yesu bhagupinya mumpongoso ye shitani pandwemo na gala amafuta, nanshi shahali ekawaida ya Yahudi omuda gwa syele.
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].
Apantu oYesu pabhayenvezye pali nee bustani; muhati yela ebustani mwali ni kaburi ipya sayahali omuntu wawaile asyelwe omwo.
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].
Afuatanaje lyali lisiku lye maandalizi hwa Yahudi, na afuatanaje lila ikaburi lyali peepe, bhahagoni oYesu muhati yakwe.
