Yohanes 19
1 Ale Pilato na woƒo Yesu kple atam.
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him.
2 Asrafowo wɔ ŋukuku ɖɔ nɛ. Wodo awu dzĩ nɛ,
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head,
3 eye woyi egbɔ zi geɖe, eye woɖu fewu le eŋu gblɔ be, “Miedo gbe na wò Yudatɔwo ƒe fia.” Eye woƒo tome nɛ.
and threw a purple robe about Him, and said, "Hail king of the Jews," and struck Him with their hands.
4 Pilato gado go va xexe, eye wògblɔ na Yudatɔwo be, “Mele ekplɔ ge ado goe na mi, gake minya esia be nyemekpɔ fɔɖiɖi aɖeke le eŋu o.”
Pilate therefore came out again, and saith unto them, Behold I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.
5 Wokplɔ Yesu do goe. Wodo awu dzĩ nɛ, tsɔ ŋukuku ɖɔ nɛ. Pilato gblɔ na wo be, “Miaƒe ame lae nye esi.”
So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, "Behold the man."
6 Esi nunɔlagãwo kple woƒe asrafowo kpɔ Yesu la, wodo ɣli sesĩe be, “Klãe ɖe ati ŋuti! Klãe ɖe ati ŋuti!” Pilato gblɔ na wo be, “Miawo ŋutɔ miyi ɖaklãe ɖe ati ŋu. Nye la, nyemekpɔ fɔɖiɖi aɖeke le eŋuti o.”
When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him." Pilate saith unto them, Take Him yourselves, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him.
7 Yudatɔwo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Le míaƒe se nu la, ele be wòaku, elabena egblɔ be Mawu ƒe Vi yenye.”
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made himself the Son of God.
8 Esi Pilato se nya sia la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe wu tsã,
Now when Pilate heard this he was the more afraid;
9 eye wògage ɖe fiasã la me, eye wòbia Yesu be, “Afi ka nètso?” Gake Yesu meɖo nya la ŋu nɛ o.
and went into the palace again, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? but Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilato gblɔ be, “Mèle nya ŋu ɖo ge nam oa? Ènya be ŋusẽ le asinye be maɖe asi le ŋuwò alo mana woaklã wò ɖe ati ŋua?”
Pilate therefore saith unto Him, Dost thou not speak to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Màte ŋu akpɔ ŋusẽ aɖeke ɖe dzinye nenye be womena wò tso dziƒo o, eya ta ame si kplɔm vɛ na wò la ƒe nu vɔ̃ sɔ gbɔ wu tɔwò.”
Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above; wherefore he, that delivered me up to thee, hath the greater sin.
12 Tso esia dzi la, Pilato di vevie be yeaɖe asi le Yesu ŋu, gake Yudatɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo nɔ ɣlidodo dzi gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne èɖe asi le ame sia ŋu la, ekema mènye Kaisaro xɔlɔ̃ o. Ame si tsɔ eɖokui wɔ fiae la tsi tsitre ɖe Kaisaro ŋu.”
Upon this Pilate sought to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Cesar's friend; for whosoever maketh himself a king, opposeth Cesar.
13 Esi Pilato se nya siawo la, ekplɔ Yesu do goe, eye wòyi ɖanɔ anyi ɖe eƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpui la dzi. Woda ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpui sia ɖe kpe gbadza aɖe dzi le teƒe si woyɔna be Kpe Gbadza (si woyɔna le Hebrigbe me be Gabata).
Therefore when Pilate heard this he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the tribunal, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Enye dzadzraɖoŋkeke na Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la; anye gaƒoƒo adelia me. Pilato gblɔ na Yudatɔwo be, “Miaƒe fia lae nye esi!”
(And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour.) And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king. But they cried out,
15 Gake wodo ɣli sesĩe be, “Mikplɔe dzoe! Mikplɔe dzoe! Miklãe ɖe ati ŋuti!” Pilato bia wo be, “Maklã miaƒe fia la ɖe ati ŋua?” Nunɔlagãwo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Fia aɖeke mele mía si o, negbe Kaisaro ko.”
Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.
16 Mlɔeba la, Pilato tsɔ Yesu de asi na wo be woaklãe ɖe ati ŋuti. Ale asrafoawo kplɔ Yesu dzoe.
Then delivered he Him therefore unto them to be crucified.
17 Wotsɔ eƒe atitsoga la da ɖe abɔta nɛ be wòakɔ, eye wokplɔe do go le dua me ɖo ta “Ametakoloeƒe” (si woyɔna be “Golgata” le Hebrigbe me).
And they took Jesus, and led Him away. And He went out, bearing his cross, into a place called the place of a scull, in Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Afi siae woklã Yesu ɖe ati ŋu le, eye woklã adzodala eve hã ɖe eƒe axawo kple eve dzi, eye Yesu nɔ woƒe titina.
where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilato ŋlɔ klã ɖe Yesu ƒe atitsoga la tame be, Yesu Nazaretitɔ, Yudatɔwo ƒe Fia.
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross: and there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Afi si woklã Yesu ɖo la medidi tso Yerusalem dua gbɔ o, ale Yudatɔ geɖewo xlẽ nuŋɔŋlɔ la. Woŋlɔ nya siawo ɖe Hebrigbe, Romagbe kple Helagbe me be ame sia ame nate ŋu axlẽe.
Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
21 Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo va gblɔ na Pilato be, “Mègaŋlɔe be, ‘Yudatɔwo ƒe fia’ o, ke boŋ ŋlɔe be ame sia be yee nye Yudatɔwo ƒe fia.”
And the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not "The king of the Jews," but that "He said, I am king of the Jews."
22 Pilato ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nu si meŋlɔ la, meŋlɔe xoxo.”
Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
23 Esi asrafoawo klã Yesu ɖe atia ŋu la, woma eƒe awuwo ɖe akpa ene me, eye woxɔe ɖekaɖekae, ke womema awutewui la ya o. Awu sia nye awu ʋlaya si wometɔ o, ke boŋ ɖe wolɔ̃e bliboe tso dzi va anyi.
And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, (and made four parts, to each soldier a part, ) and his coat. Now the coat had no seam in it, being woven from the top throughout:
24 Eya ta wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Menyo be miavuvui o, ke boŋ mina miada akɔ, eye ame si ɖu dzi la naxɔe.” Esia va eme be wòawu ŋɔŋlɔ la nu be, “Woma nye awuwo na wo nɔewo, eye woda akɔ ɖe nye awu ʋlaya dzi.” Alea asrafoawo wɔ.
they said therefore to one another, Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Nyɔnu aɖewo tsi tsitre ɖe atitsoga la gbɔ. Woawoe nye Yesu dada, Yesu dada nɔvi si woyɔna be Maria, Kleopa srɔ̃ kple Maria si tso Magdala la.
Now there stood near the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Esi Yesu kpɔ dadaa wònɔ tsitre ɖe eƒe nusrɔ̃la si wòlɔ̃na vevie xa la, egblɔ nɛ be, “Nyɔnu, kpɔ ɖa, viwòe nye esi.”
Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son:
27 Eye wògblɔ na nusrɔ̃la la hã be, “Kpɔ ɖa, dawòe nye esia!” Eye tso ɣe ma ɣi dzi la, nusrɔ̃la la kplɔ Maria yi eƒe aƒe mee.
and then saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the same disciple took her to his own home.
28 Esi Yesu nya be nu sia nu wu nu azɔ, eye be woawu nya siwo woŋlɔ ɖe mawunya me nu la, egblɔ be, “Tsikɔ le wuyem!”
After this Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Wain tsitsi kplu ɖeka aɖe nɔ afi ma. Wotsɔe kɔ ɖe kakle tɔxɛ aɖe me eye wotsɔe tɔ ɖe ati nu hetsɔ ɖo nu nɛ be wòano.
Now there was set a vessel there full of vinegar: so they filled a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it upon hyssop, held it up to his mouth.
30 Esi Yesu ɖɔe kpɔ ko la, egblɔ be, “Ewu enu azɔ,” eye wòde ta to heɖe asi le eƒe gbɔgbɔ ŋu.
And when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished. And reclining his head, He yielded up the ghost.
31 Azɔ enye Dzadzraɖoŋkeke, eye ŋkeke si kplɔ esia ɖo la anye Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke tɔxɛ. Yudatɔwo medi be ame kukuawo nanɔ atitsogawo ŋu le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi o, eya ta wobia tso Pilato si be wòana woaŋe woƒe afɔwo be woaku kaba ne woate ŋu aɖe woƒe kukuawo le atiawo ŋu.
The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, because it was now the preparation, (for that sabbath-day was an high-day) desired Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Ale asrafowo va ŋe ame eve siwo woklã kpe ɖe Yesu ŋu la ƒe afɔwo.
So the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with Him. But coming to Jesus,
33 Gake esi wòɖo Yesu dzi la, wokpɔ be eku xoxo, eya ta womeŋe eƒe afɔwo o.
as they saw He was dead already, they did not break his legs:
34 Esia ta asrafoawo dometɔ ɖeka tsɔ akplɔ tɔ axadame nɛ, eye ʋu kple tsi do go.
but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
35 Ame si kpɔ nu siawo katã teƒe la ɖi ɖase tso eŋu, eye eƒe ɖaseɖiɖi la nye nyateƒe. Enyae be yegblɔ nyateƒe, be miawo hã miaxɔe ase.
And he that saw it testifieth it, and his testimony is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye may believe.
36 Nuwɔna siawo va eme be woawu mawunya nu be, “Womele eƒe ƒu aɖeke ŋe ge o!”
For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of Him shall be broken.
37 Mawunya bubu gblɔ be, “Woakpɔ ame si wotsɔ akplɔ tɔe la dzi.”
And again another scripture saith, They shall look on Him whom they have pierced.
38 Le nu siawo megbe la, Yosef si tso Arimatia la bia Pilato be wòaɖe asi le Yesu ƒe ŋutilã kukua ŋu na ye. Yosef nye Yesu ƒe adzamenusrɔ̃la, elabena enɔ vɔvɔ̃m na Yudatɔwo. Pilato ɖe mɔ nɛ, eye wòva kɔ Yesu ƒe ŋutilã kukua dzoe.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Jesus, but a concealed one for fear of the Jews) petitioned Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave: he came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.
39 Nikodemo, ame si va Yesu gbɔ le zã me la hã va kplii, eye wòtsɔ mire kple aloe siwo nye atike ʋeʋĩ tɔxɛ aɖe si ƒe home anɔ abe sidi blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ ene vɛ.
And there came also Nicodemus (who at first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about an hundred pound weight.
40 Wosi ami la nɛ, eye wo kple eve la wotsɔ aklala si me ami ʋeʋĩ yɔ fũu la bla Yesu ƒe ŋutilã kukua ɖe eme. Wowɔ nu sia ɖe Yudatɔwo ƒe kɔnuwo nu.
So they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
41 Abɔ aɖe te ɖe afi si woklã Yesu ɖe atitsoga ŋu ɖo la ŋu, eye yɔdo yeye aɖe si me womeɖi ame ɖo kpɔ o la li.
Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which none had ever yet been laid.
42 Esi gbe ma gbe nye Yudatɔwo ƒe Dzadzraɖoŋkeke ta la, wokɔ Yesu ɖaɖi ɖe yɔdo sia me, elabena etsɔ ɖe kpuiƒe na wo.
There therefore they laid Jesus, because of the Jews preparation-day; for the sepulchre was near.
