Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
Pawushiiti, watambika wakulu wa numba ya Mlungu watenditi lishawuli pamuhera na wazewi na wafunda wa malagaliru na wantu wa shiyotera motu woseri, wamtawa Yesu pingu wamjega pashiyotera motu pa Pilatu.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Pilatu kamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, gwenga gwa Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi?” Yesu kamwankula, “Yina, gwenga gutakula.”
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Watambika wakulu wampayiliti Yesu vitwatira vivuwa.
4 So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
Pilatu kamkosiya kayi Yesu, “Hashi gwankula ndiri shisoweru? Guloli ntambu yawalaviya masitaka gavuwa kwaku.”
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Kumbiti Yesu kankula ndiri shisoweru, ata Pilatu kalikangasha.
6 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
Kila Shipindi sha msambu gwa Pasaka, Pilatu kaweriti na shitiba sha kuwavugulira mtatilwa yumu yawamfira.
7 [At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
Su, kuweriti na muntu yumu yawamshema Baraba, yakaweriti wamtatira pamuhera na wamonga wawalagiti wantu pawaweriti wakusonguziya.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Wantu wavuwa wamgendera Pilatu wamluwa kawatenderi handa shitiba shakuwi.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Pilatu kawakosiya, “Hashi, mfira nuwavuguliri Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi?”
10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
Katakula hangu toziya kavimaniti kala handa watambika wakulu wamjegeriti Yesu toziya ya weya.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Kumbiti Watambika wakulu wawasonguziyiti wantu wamluwi Pilatu kamvuguliri Baraba.
12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
Pilatu kawakosiya kayi, “Su, mfira ntendi hashi na muntu ayu yamumshema Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi?”
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Wantu woseri washowangana kayi pawatakula, “Gumkong'onderi palupingika!”
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Kumbiti Pilatu kawakosiya, “gwa shishi! Katenda shidoda gaa?” Kumbiti womberi wongera kushowangana, “Gumkong'onderi misumali mulupingika!”
15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
Pilatu kafiriti kulifiliziya lipinga lya wantu awa, su, kamlekeziya Baraba kulawa mushibetubetu. Kawagambira wanjagila wamkomi ntomondu Yesu na wamkong'onderi misumali mulupingika!
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
Shakapanu wanjagila wamjegiti Yesu muluwaga muliboma lya Pilati mkulu gwa isi, wawajojinira shipinga shakuwi shoseri.
17 [After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Wamvalisiya nguwu ya zambalawu, wapota lijenjeri lya misontu wamvalisiya mumtuwi.
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
Wanja kumlamsiya, “Mwika Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi!”
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Wamkoma mumtuwi kwa ludengi, wamtemera mata, wamsuntamalira na kumng'ong'onelera.
20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
Pawamshinigira kala wamvuliti lihabiti lilii, wamvalisiya nguwu zakuwi, shakapanu wamjega kumpingika.
21 [After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
Pawaweriti munjira, waliwoniti na muntu yumu yawamshema Simoni, muntu gwa lushi lwa Kureni. Yomberi kaweriti tati gwa Alekizanda na Rufu na Shipindi ashi kaweriti kankulawa kulirambu. Su, wamgambira katoli lupingika lwa Yesu.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Shakapanu wamjega Yesu mpaka pahali pawapashema Goligota, mana yakuwi, “Pahala pa Shipalakasa sha mtuwi.”
23 Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
Wamupa divayi wahanganyikiti na mtera wagushema manimani, kumbiti yomberi kalemiti kulanda.
24 [Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
Su wampingika, wagawana nguwu yakuwi kwa kuzigalambuziya simbi wamuwi gaa hakapati shipandi sha nguwu.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Iweriti saa tatu mandawira pawampingikiti.
26 They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
Na masitaka gakuwi gaweriti galembwa, “Mfalumi gwa Mayawudi.”
27 They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
Pamuhera nayomberi wapingikitwi wakwapula wawili, yumu uwega wa kumshigi na yumonga uwega wakuwi wa kumliwu.
Su lilembu litimii lyalitakula, “Wamwalangiti pamuhera na watenda vidoda.”
29 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
Wantu waweriti wankupita pahala panu wamwigilangiti, pawatikiziya mituwi yawu na kutakula, “Aha! Gwenga gutakuliti gumweni guweza kubomola Numba nkulu ya Mlungu na kunyawa kwa mashaka matatu!
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Vinu, gusuluki mlupingika gulilopozii gumweni!”
31 The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
Nawomberi watambika wakulu pamuhera na wafunda wa malagaliru wamshinigiriti pawalitakuziana, “Kawalopoziya wamonga, kumbiti kulilopola mweni kasinda!
32 He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
Eti yomberi ndo Kristu, Mtuwa gwa Israeli! Kasuluki kulawa mlupingika su tuwoni na kujimira.” Ata wantu walii wawapingikitwi pamuhera nayomberi wamlongiti.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Kwanjira saa sita pamusi mpaka saa tisa kuweriti liwindu isi yoseri.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Saa tisa pamii Yesu kalila kwa liziwu likulu, pakalonga, “Eloyi, Eloyi, lema sabakitani?” Mana yakuwi, “Mlungu gwangu, Mlungu gwangu mbona gundeka?”
35 When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
Wantu wamonga wawagolokiti paliya pawapikaniriti hangu, watakuliti, “Gupikiniri! Kankumshema Eliya.”
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
Muntu yumu katuga, katola lidodoki kalitawa mulupeleru lwa ludenki katota mudivayi isheshema, kamupa kalandi pakatakula, “Ebu tuloli handa Eliya hakizi kumsulusiya palupingika!”
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Yesu kabota, shakapanu kahowa.
38 [At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Su, lipaziya lya Numba nkulu ya Mlungu lidegeka vipandi viwili kulawa kumpindi mpaka pasi.
39 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
Mkulu yumu gwa wanjagila yakaweriti kagoloka kulongolu kwa lupingika kawoniti Yesu ntambu yakahowiti, kalonga, “Nakaka muntu ayu kaweriti Mwana gwa Mlungu!”
40 There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
Wadala wamu waloliti kwa kutali, muwamu mwawu kaweriti Maliya Magidalena na Salomi na Mariya mawu gwa ashina Yakobu mpusu na Yosefu.
Awa ndo wawamfatiti Yesu pakaweriti Galilaya na kumtendera. Kuweriti na wadala wamonga wavuwa wiziti Yerusalemu pamuhera na yomberi.
42 When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
Shipindi sha pamii shisokiti kala. Ali liweriti Lishaka lya Matandiru, yani lishaka lyalilonguleriti Lishaka lya Kwoyera.
Panu kiza Yosefu mwenikaya gwa Arimatayu, mjagira gwa Shiyotera motu mkulu, yawampananiti ligoya nentu. Yomberi viraa kaweriti kankulolera kwiza kwa Ufalumi wa Mlungu. Su, kamgenderiti Pilatu pota na lyoga, kaluwa wamupi nshimba ya Yesu.
44 Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
Pilatu kalikangasha kupikinira handa Yesu kahowiti kala. Su, kamshema Mkulu gwa wanjagila, kamkosiya handa Yesu kaweriti kahowa shipindi shivuwa.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Pilatu pawamgambiriti kala, kamgambiriti Yosefu katoli nshimba ya Yesu.
46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
Panu Yosefu kuhemera sanda ya shitani, kasulusiya pasi mauti galiya, kaviliga sanda. Kagatula mulipumba lyaliweriti walisongola mulitalawu, shakapanu kabilingisiya libuwi likulu kumlyangu.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Nawomberi Mariya Magidalena na Mariya mawu gwakuwi Yosefu wapawoniti pawagonjikiti nshimba ya Yesu.
