< John 19 >

1 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],
Nipele, che Pilato ŵalamwile kuti Che Yesu ajigalikwe, aputikwe mbokola.
2 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,
Ŵangondo nombe ŵakolosisye chindu mpela singwa ja miiŵa, ŵambwasisye Che Yesu mu ntwe wao ni kuntakusya mwinjilo wa chimwenye.
3 and said, 'Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.
Ŵaliji nkwaichilila ni kuti, “Tukunkomasya, Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi!” Nipele ŵamputile majanda.
4 Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'
Che Pilato ŵakopweche sooni paasa ni kwasalila Ŵayahudi, “Nnole, ngunyikanawo paasa, mmanyilile kuti uneji nganinansimana ni magambo gagaligose ga kunlamula mundu ju.”
5 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, 'Lo, the man!'
Nipele Che Yesu ŵakopweche paasa ali awasile chindu mpela singwa ja miiŵa mu ntwe mwao ni mwinjilo wa chimwenye. Che Pilato ŵasalile Ŵayahudi, “Nnole mundu nsyene ni aju.”
6 When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, 'Take ye him — ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'
Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu paŵambweni Che Yesu ŵanyanyisye, “Mwaŵambe pansalaba! Mwaŵambe pansalaba!” Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Munjigale mwachinsyene nkaŵambe pansalaba, pakuŵa uneji ngangugawona magambo gagaligose gakunlamula mundu ju.”
7 the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'
Ŵayahudi ŵajanjile, “Uweji tukwete malajisyo ni kwa malajisyo go ikusachilwa aweje, ligongo alitesile kuŵa Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,
Che Pilato paŵagapilikene maloŵe go ŵapundile kogopa.
9 and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, 'Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.
Nipele ŵajinjile sooni mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana mmweji nkutyochela kwapi?” Nambo Che Yesu ngananjanga chachili chose.
10 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, 'To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'
Che Pilato ŵansalile, “Ana ngankusaka kuŵecheta ni une? Ana ngankumanyilila kuti ngwete ulamusi wa kungopola pane kummamba pansalaba?”
11 Jesus answered, 'Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'
Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Ngankakole ulamusi wauli wose kwa uneji ngankapegwe ni Akunnungu. Kwa ligongo lyo mundu jwambeleche uneji kukwenu jwelejo apundile kuŵa ni sambi syejinji.”
12 From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'
Chitandile pelepo, che Pilato ŵasosile litala lya kwalechelela Che Yesu. Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵanyanyisye, “Mwannechelelaga mundu ju, mmwejo nganimma mbusanga jwa mwenye jwa ku Loma, pakuŵa mundu jwalijose jwakulitenda mwenye akunkanila mwenye jwankulu jwa ku Loma!”
13 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without — and he sat down upon the tribunal — to a place called, 'Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;
Nipele che Pilato paŵagapilikene maloŵe go ŵanyichenawo Che Yesu paasa, ni nsyene ŵatemi pa chitengu cha kulamula, pelepo pakuŵilanjikwa, “Luŵala lwa Maganga.” Mchiebulania, Gabata.
14 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, 'Lo, your king!'
Lyuŵa lyaliji pamtwe, lyuŵa lyakuŵichila chile Pasaka. Che Pilato ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi, “Mwenye jwenu aju!”
15 and they cried out, 'Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, 'Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, 'We have no king except Caesar.'
Ŵanyawo ŵanyanyisye, “Mwaulaje! Mwaulaje! Mwaŵambe pansalaba!” Che Pilato ŵausisye, “Uli, nammambe mwenye jwenu?” Achakulu ŵambopesi ŵajanjile, “Uweji nganitukola mwenye jwine ikaŵe mwenye jwa ku Loma pe!”
16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,
Pelepo che Pilato ŵampeleche Che Yesu mmakono mwa ŵangondo kuti akaaŵambe pansalaba. Nipele, ŵangondo ŵanjigele Che Yesu.
17 and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;
Che Yesu ŵakopweche ali ajigele nsalaba wakwe kwaula kwiuto kwakukuŵilanjikwa, “Chikalakasa cha Ntwe”, Mchiebulania pakuŵilanjikwa Goligota.
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.
Pelepo ni paŵaŵambile Che Yesu, ni ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵili pamo nawo, jwine kunchiji ni jwine kundyo kwao ni Che Yesu pambindikati.
19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'
Che Pilato ŵalembile chimanyisyo ni ŵachiŵisile pachanya nsalaba. Ni chimanyisyo cho chalembekwe yelei, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti, Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi.”
20 this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.
Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵachisyomile chimanyisyo cho pakuŵa paŵaŵambile Che Yesu pala paliji chiŵandi ni musi. Sooni chimanyisyo cho chalembekwe Mchiebulania ni Chilatini ni Chigiliki.
21 The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not — The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;'
Nipele achakulu ŵambopesi ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaasalile che Pilato kuti, “Nkalemba, ‘Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi,’ nambo mundu ju ŵatite, ‘Uneji ndili Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi.’”
22 Pilate answered, 'What I have written, I have written.'
Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Chilembile, nembile!”
23 The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,
Ŵangondo paŵamasile kwaŵamba Che Yesu pansalaba, ŵajigele iwalo yao ni ŵagaŵenye maunjili ncheche, jwangondo jwalijose liunjili limo. Sooni ŵajigele mwinjilo wakwe, wanganiukola papatotekwe, waliji chipande chimo chachiluchikwe kutyochela mwinani mpaka paasi.
24 they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.
Nipele ŵangondo wo ŵasalilene, “Tunapapulanye nambo tutende gudugudu kuti uwe wacheni.” Yeleyo yatendekwe kuti gamalile Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti, “Ŵagaŵene iwalo yangu, ni mwinjilo wangu ŵatendele gudugudu.” Yeleyo ni yatite pakupanganya ŵangondo wo.
25 And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;
Pachiŵandi ni nsalaba u Che Yesu ŵajimi achikulugwe Che Yesu ni apwao achikulugwe ni che Maliamu ŵankwawo che Kileopa ni che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala.
26 Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;'
Che Yesu paŵambweni achikulugwe ni jwakulijiganya juŵannonyele nnope jula ajimi kuŵandikana ni pepala, ŵaasalile achikulugwe, “Amao, jwelejo ni mwanagwenu.”
27 afterward he saith to the disciple, 'Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].
Sooni ŵansalile jwakulijiganya jula kuti, “Nnole, jwelejo ni achikulu ŵenu.” Ni kutandila lyuŵa lyo jwakulijiganya jo ŵanjigele che Maliamu kuti akatame nawo kumangwakwe.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, 'I thirst;'
Che Yesu ŵaimanyilile kuti yose yaliji imalile, ni Malembelo ga Akunnungu kuti gamalile, ŵatite, “Jingwete njota.”
29 a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth;
Chapali kweleko chiŵiga chigumbele divai jakuipa. Nipele, ŵajigele chindu mpela lidodoki ni ŵatoŵele mu divai mo ni kutaŵilila pachitela chachikuŵilanjikwa esopo ni kuchiŵika pakang'wa pa Che Yesu.
30 when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.
Che Yesu paŵamasile kupegwa divai jo, ŵatite, “Yose imalile!” Ni ŵakotamisye ntwe wao ni kwasika.
31 The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one, ) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.
Lyaliji lyuŵa lya kuŵichila chile kwa kupumulila likanaŵe Lyuŵa lya Pasaka. Nipele achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi nganasaka iilu itaame pa nsalaba pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ligongo Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyaliji lyuŵa lyajikape. Kwapele ŵaŵendile che Pilato apokosole makongolo ga ŵele ŵaŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba ni kuitulusya iilu yao.
32 The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,
Nipele ŵangondo ŵajawile ni kugapokosola makongolo ga mundu jwaandanda ni jwaaŵili ŵaŵaliji aŵambikwe pansalaba pamo ni Che Yesu.
33 and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;
Nambo paŵaichilile Che Yesu, ŵaiweni kuti awile, kwapele nganagapokosola makongolo gao.
34 but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;
Nambo jwangondo jumo ŵansomile Che Yesu mpaamba pa luŵalati, ni papopo jakopweche miasi ni meesi.
35 and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.
Nombe juŵaiweni yeleyo ilinkutendekwa aŵalasile umboni melepe ni ŵanyamwe nkombole kukulupilila. Ni umboni wasasile uli usyene, sooni jwelejo akumanyilila kuti akusala usyene.
36 For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;'
Yelei yatendekwe kuti gamalile Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti, “Ngapagwa liupa lyao lichilipokoswe.”
37 and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'
Nipele Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakusala sooni, “Chiŵalole ŵeŵala ŵaŵansomile.”
38 And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea — being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews — ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,
Payamasile yeleyo che Yusufu jwa ku Alimataya, ŵaŵendile che Pilato kuti achitulusye chiilu chi Che Yesu pa nsalaba. Che Yusufu ŵaliji jwakulijiganya jwao Che Yesu, nambo nganalilosyaga, pakuŵa ŵajogopaga achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi. Nipele che Pilato ŵajitichisye. Che Yusufu ŵajawile ni kuchijigala chiilu chi Che Yesu.
39 and Nicodemus also came — who came unto Jesus by night at the first — bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.
Che Yusufu ŵalongene ni che Nikodemu, che Nikodemu ju ni jwejula juŵajaulile Che Yesu chilo kundanda ko, ŵaiche ali ajigele mauta gakununjila yambone ga manemane kuwanganya ni ubani, mpela mbiisi saba ni ibaba iŵili.
40 They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;
Nipele ŵachijigele chiilu chi Che Yesu ni kuchiŵijilila mu nguo jeswela pamo ni yakununjila mpela chisyoŵelo cha Ŵayahudi katema ka kusika.
41 and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;
Nambo peuto paŵaŵambikwe Che Yesu pala wapali ngunda wa mwana, ni mu ngunda mo mwaliji mwana lilembe lya sambano mwakanaŵichikwa mundu jwalijose.
42 there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
Nipele ligongo lyaliji lyuŵa lya Ŵayahudi kuliŵika chile kupumulila, ni sooni pakuŵa lilembe lyo lyaliji pachiŵandi, ŵachiŵisile chiilu chi Che Yesu mwelemo.
