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!]!”
Nashaphi shausili agosi abhachungaji bhatangana pandwimo nagosi na simbi na bhibalaza sha lyundti ilyangosi. Kisha wakamfunga Yesu wakampeleka kwa Pilato. Pilato akamwuliza, “wewe ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
“Ahabhajibu, “Awe unjele isho.”
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Agosi abhachungaji bhahelezya amashitaka gaminji ju ya Yesu.
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]!”
U Pilato abhuzya nanthele, “Haga ujibu hahundte? Haga ulola ishabha hukata humambo aminji?
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Lelo uYesu haga ahajibu uPilato, ilya lya syizwa.
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.
Nishi ikawaida uwakati uwishikulukulu awigulilya ufungwa omo, ufunga uwalabhile.
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].
Wali atulanongwa wijela, palushimo nabha goga muhati bhali asawogopa. Abhatumishila ulozi wao. Ahali umuntu umo uya witwa Barnaba.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Ibuga ihenza wa Pilato, na hulavhe abhombe ishabhombaga uwo khosi.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
U Pilato abha jibu nayanje, “Munza imba fungulile Utawala uwa Yahudi?”
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].
Pepo amenye pipo hunongwa ikelo agosi bhachungaji bhakata uYesu nahutwale wamwene.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Lelo agosi bha chungaji bhansonjelezya ibunga akhome iholo usauti uje ayigulilye Baranaba bada yamwene.
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?”
U Pilatoi abhajibu andtele nayanje, “Ibhombe bhuli Utawala Uyahudi?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Bhaha bwaga nandtele, “Musulibishe!”
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
U Pilato ayanga, “Abhombile lijambo nshi?” Lelo bhahazida akhome ikelele zaidi na zaidi “Musulubishe.”
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}.
U Pilato ahanza abhalizisye ibuga, abhigula Baraba. Akhama uYesu nujalindi afumia ili asulubiwe.
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].
Askali bhahalogola hadi muhanti izyala (bhula uwali muhati ikambi) bhabhungene pandwemo ishikundi ishasikali.
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].
Bhakwatizya uYesu ikhanzu iyilangi izambarau, bhapota inginga imivhwabha kwatizya.
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!”
Bhanda hulyeule nayanje, “Mwagona, Mutawala uwa Yahudi!”
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Bhakhoma witwe namenda nahuswile amanti. Bhaha fugama amafugamo witanzi lyakwe huheshimu.
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.
Paka pahali bhalyeule, bhahaula ikhanzu ilangi izambarau, nahukwatizye amena gakwe, bhahafumila hunzi abhale husulubisye.
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].
Bhalazimisya ajende idala humwavhe, uwa winjila hujini afume hu gunda. Uyawitwa Simoni Mkirene(uyise wakwe Iskanda na Rufo); bhalazimisya anyemule ishikhovhehanyo isha Yesu.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Asikali bhahatwala uYesu apawitwa Goligotha (amana gakwe itafsiri ine, mahali ipo yi fuvulitwe).
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.
Bhapela ihobwa isangine ni manemane, lelo haga amwela.
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.
Bhasubisya bhahagabhana amenda gakwe, bhagakhomela ikula awamule ishi pande ishabha pante shila sikali.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Ibhanga ibhala saa tatu nashaphi pabha sulubisyaga.
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.”
Bhabhiha pamwanya yakwe ulubao ululyasibilye ishitaka “Mutawala wa Yahudi.”
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].
Bhasulubisya pandwimo na majambazi bhabhili, umo hukhono ulilo uwinji hukhono ugwa hu mongo gwakwe.
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.
Bhope pali bhajenda bhaligaga bhayizyaga, amatwe gao bhayangaga, “Aha! awe bhuhajile uhaibomola ishibhaza hunsiku zitatu,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
wiyokole bhumwene iyish pansi afume pashi khovhe hanyo!”
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!
Inamuna yila agosi bhachungaji bhalyeula bhayangana, pandwimo nasimbi nayanje, “Ahupaga abhanji, Lelo hagawezya awiyupe yuyo.
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.
Kilisiti Mtawala wa Israeli, iha panzi ishi fuma pashikhovhehanyo, ilituwezye alole na waamini.” Na bhala abhasulubisye pamoja anao bhalye.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Pihafiha isantanda, ikisi ihenza pamwanya insi yundti paka musatisa.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Pahafi itisa, uYesu ahakhoma ikelele husauti ingosi, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” ihabhanga namana “Ngulubhi wani, Ngulubhi wani, yenu undeha?”
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!”
Bhamo abhahimilyile pahuvha bhayanga, “Enya, ahuku ga 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]!”
Umuntu umo anyila, amemia siki mu sponji nabhi she amwanya mwipishi ili la lanzi, ahapela ili mwele. Umuntu umo ahayanga, “Gula tulole khashele Eliya kama awinza humwisye pansi.”
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Phepo uYesu ahalila nu sauti ingosi afwa.
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].
Ipazia lishibhanza lyalyaganiha tupande tubhili afume humwanya hadi panzi.
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!”
Afisa umo uwahemelele abhelelaga wa Yesu, pahalola huje afile hunamuna ila, ayanjile, “Lyoli unu umuntu ali Mwana wa Ngulubhi.”
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.
Bhanga pipo abhashibhali wenya shahutali muhati yao umo ahali. Umaliamu Magdalena, uMaliya (unyina wakwe Yakobo udodo wakwe Yose), na Salome.
Uwakati pahali Galialaya bhadajile nahutumishile. Abhashi bhamo abhanji bhambatana nao hadi uYelusalemu.
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].
Pawabha lyebhela, pipo lyali wiyandale, isiku kabula isiku Lyatule,
U Yusufu wa Arimathaya ahizile pala. Alijumbe uwi Balaza uwaheshimiwaga umuntu uwatalajila utawala wa Ngulubhi husajili abhala wapi ahabhala wa Pilato, ugulabhe ubili ugwa 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.
U pilato asyiga huje lyoli tayali uYesu afwile ahakuga ola afisa aha bhuzya huje lyoli uYesu afwile.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Pawaga uwanalyoli wa afisa aluhusu uYusufu agweje ubili.
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.
U Yusufu ali akalile umwenda. Amwisya afume pashikho bhehanyo. Apinya numwenda nahubhishe muhati mukhungwa ilyandibilye mumwamba. Ipo augulusya ingaga pahali pa mahali pakhugwa.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
U Maliya Magdalena na Maliya unyina wakwe uYose bhahalola amahali pasyilwa uYesu.
