John 19
1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
Pilato ma wɔbɔɔ Yesu mmaa.
2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
Asraafo no de nsɔe nwenee ahenkyɛw hyɛɛ Yesu; afei, wɔde atade kɔkɔɔ nso hyɛɛ no.
3 They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
Wodii ne ho fɛw, bobɔɔ nʼani so kae se, “Yudafo hene, wo nkwa so!”
4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
Pilato fii adi kɔka kyerɛɛ dɔm no bio se, “Mɛsan de no abrɛ mo ama moahu sɛ minni asɛm biara a megyina so abu no fɔ.”
5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
Bere a Yesu fii adi bae no, na ɔhyɛ ahenkyɛw a wɔde nsɔe anwen ne atade kɔkɔɔ. Pilato ka kyerɛɛ dɔm no se, “Onipa no ni!”
6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”
Bere a asɔfo mpanyin ne mpanyimfo no huu Yesu no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Bɔ no asennua mu! Bɔ no asennua mu!” Pilato ka kyerɛ wɔn se, “Mo ankasa momfa no nkɔ nkɔbɔ no asennua mu, efisɛ minni asɛm biara a megyina so abu no fɔ.”
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
Yudafo no buae se, “Yɛwɔ mmara a ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ owu, efisɛ ɔkae se ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba.”
8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
Bere a Pilato tee asɛm a wɔkae no, ɔbɔɔ hu yiye.
9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
Ɔsan kɔɔ ahemfi hɔ kobisaa Yesu se, “Ɛhe na wufi?” Nanso Yesu ammua no.
10 Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”
Pilato bisaa no se, “Woremmua me ana? Ɛsɛ sɛ wuhu sɛ mewɔ tumi sɛ migyaa wo na mewɔ tumi nso sɛ mema wɔbɔ wo asennua mu!”
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”
Yesu buaa no se, “Sɛ Onyankopɔn amfa saa tumi no amma wo a anka wunni me so tumi biara. Enti onipa a ɔde me brɛɛ wo no na wayɛ bɔne a ɛso.”
12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”
Bere a Pilato tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, ɔhwehwɛɛ ɔkwan bi a ɔbɛfa so agyaa no. Nanso Yudafo no teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Sɛ wugyaa no a na wonyɛ Kaesare adamfo! Obiara a ɔyɛ ne ho ɔhene no tia Kaesare!”
13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
Bere a Pilato tee asɛm a Yudafo no kae no, ɔde Yesu fii adi na ɔbɛtenaa nʼatemmu agua so wɔ faako a wɔfrɛ hɔ Abo Nsɛmee, (a Hebri kasa mu no, ɛyɛ “Gabata”).
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
Ade rebɛkye ama Twam Afahyɛ no adu so no, ɛbɛyɛ owigyinae no. Pilato ka kyerɛɛ Yudafo no se, “Mo hene no ni!”
15 They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
Dɔm no nso teɛteɛɛ mu bio se, “Fa no kɔ! Bɔ no asennua mu!” Pilato bisaa wɔn se, “Mopɛ sɛ mebɔ mo hene no asennua mu ana?” Asɔfo mpanyin no kae se, “Yɛn hene a yɛwɔ ara ne Kaesare!”
16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
Afei Pilato de Yesu maa Yudafo no sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ no asennua mu.
17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
Enti wɔde Yesu a nʼasennua da ne kɔn ho no kɔɔ kurow no mfikyiri baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ “Nitiri So”, a Hebri kasa mu ɛyɛ “Golgota”.
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
Ɛhɔ na wɔbɔɔ Yesu asennua mu. Wɔbɔɔ nnipa baanu bi nso asennua mu kaa ne ho. Na ɔbaako sɛn ne benkum so na ɔbaako nso sɛn ne nifa so a Yesu sɛn wɔn mfimfini.
19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Pilato kyerɛw se, Yesu Nasareni, Yudafo Hene de taree nʼasennua no atifi.
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
Esiane sɛ faako a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asennua mu ne kurow no mu kwan nware, na bio wɔakyerɛw nsɛm no wɔ Hebri, Roma ne Hela kasa mu no nti, nnipa bebree hu kenkanee.
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”
Yudafo asɔfo mpanyin no ka kyerɛɛ Pilato se, “Nkyerɛw se, ‘Yudafo hene’ na mmom kyerɛw se, ‘Saa ɔbarima yi na ɔkaa se mene Yudafo hene!’”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
Pilato kae se, “Nea makyerɛw no, makyerɛw.”
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Asraafo no bɔɔ Yesu asennua mu wiei no, wɔkyɛɛ ne ntade mu maa asraafo baanan no. Na saa atade no yɛ atade bi a wɔanwen fi ne soro kosi ne fam a enni mpamee.
24 Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
Asraafo no nyinaa kae se, “Mommma yɛnntetew mu. Momma yɛmmɔ so ntonto na yenhu onipa a obenya.” Ade a wɔyɛɛ yi sii, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kyerɛwsɛm a ɛka se, “Wɔkyekyɛɛ me ntama mu, bɔɔ mʼatade so ntonto fae” no bɛba mu. Nea asraafo no yɛe ne no.
25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Nnipa a na wogyina Yesu asennua no ho pɛɛ no ne ne na, ne na nuabea, Maria a ɔyɛ Kleopa yere ne Maria Magdalene.
26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
Yesu huu ne na ne osuani a ɔdɔ no no sɛ wogyina hɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne na se, “Ɔbea, wo ba ni.”
27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ osuani no se, “Wo na ni.” Efi saa bere no, osuani no faa no ne no kɔtenae.
28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
Saa bere no Yesu huu sɛ afei de, biribiara aba nʼawie, na sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kyerɛwsɛm no bɛba mu no nti, ɔkae se, “Osukɔm de me.”
29 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
Wɔde sapɔw a etua adwerɛ ano bɔɔ nsa a emu keka mu de kaa nʼano.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Yesu nom wiei no, ɔkae se, “Mawie!” Ɔkaa eyi wiee no, osii ne ti ase na ogyaa ne honhom mu.
31 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
Na da no yɛ ahosiesie da, na Yudafo mpanyimfo no mpɛ sɛ wɔma amu no sensɛn asennua no so kosi nʼadekyee a wobedi Twam Afahyɛ no. Enti wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Pilato se wɔpɛ sɛ wobubu nnipa no anan sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobetumi ayiyi wɔn amu no afi asennua no so.
32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
Asraafo no kobubuu ɔbarima a odi kan a ɔka nnipa baanu a wɔbɔɔ wɔne Yesu asennua mu ho no anan; wowiei no, wokobubuu ɔbarima a ɔto so abien no nso anan.
33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
Nanso woduu Yesu so no wohuu sɛ ɔno de, na wawu dedaw enti wɔammu ne nan bi.
34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
Asraafo no mu baako de ne peaw wɔɔ ne mfe maa mogyasufi fii ne mfe mu bae.
35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
Onipa a ohuu nea esii no na wadi ho adanse. Nʼadanse no yɛ nokware, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo nso mubegye adi.
36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
Eyinom nyinaa sii sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kyerɛwsɛm a ɛka se, “Wɔremmu ne dompe bi”
37 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
ne “Nnipa bɛhwɛ nea wɔwɔɔ ne mfe mu peaw” no bɛba mu.
38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
Eyi akyi no, Yosef a ofi Arimatea a esiane Yudafo ho hu nti, na ɔyɛ Yesu suani wɔ kokoa mu no kɔsrɛɛ Pilato sɛ ɔmma no kwan na onkoyi Yesu amu no. Pilato penee nʼadesrɛ no so. Ɛno nti okoyii Yesu amu no.
39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
Nikodemo a da bi anadwo ɔkɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn no nso de kurobow ne aduhuam mfrafrae a emu duru bɛyɛ kilogram aduasa abiɛsa bae.
40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
Wɔn baanu no de nwera ne aduhuam mfrafrae no kyekyeree Yesu amu no sɛnea Yudafo kwan a wɔfa so sie wɔn amu no te no.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
Na ɔboda foforo bi a wonsiee obi wɔ mu da wɔ turo bi a ɛbɛn baabi a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asennua mu no.
42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
Esiane sɛ na saa ɔboda no bɛn no nti, wosiee Yesu amu no wɔ hɔ.
