Yanisa Mishiracho 19
1 Hessafe guye Philaxoossay Yesussa eefidi gaarafisiidees.
Then Pilate took Jesus [inside and had soldiers] (scourge Jesus/strike Jesus with a whip that had pieces of metal or bone fastened to it).
2 Wotadaratikka aguunththa zawuude xaxiidi Yesussa hu7en woththida, zo77o kabakka mayzzida.
The soldiers also took [some branches with] thorns and wove them to make [something like] a crown. Then they put it on his head. They also put a purple robe on him. [They did these things to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
3 Izako shiqqi shiqqdi “Ayhuda kawoo saaro saaro!” gi gidi iza shagalan baqqida.
Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
4 Philaxxossay qasseka kare kesiidi “Heko ta iza bolla aykoo morooka demoonttaysa inte errana mala ta iza intes haa kare kessana” gides.
Once more Pilate came outside and said to the crowd, “Look! I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him [any more].”
5 Hessa gish Yesussay aguunththa zawuude hu7en woththi ekkidine zo77o kaba maydi kare keziides. Philaxxossayka isttas “Hekoo addezi haysichchi!” gides.
When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
6 eQessista halaqatine istta ashshikarat Yesussa beeydi “Ne iza kaqqa! kaqqa!” gishe wasiida, Philaxxossay qasse “Ta ta baggara iza bolla issi moroka demmabeyke, koykoo inte ehaaththaidii kaqqite” gides.
When the chief priests and Temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross! Crucify him!” Pilate, [knowing that they could not legally do it themselves], said to them, “You yourselves take him and nail him to a cross! As for me, I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him.”
7 Ayhuda asati qasse “Nuus wogay dees haysi addezi beena xoossa na giza gish nu woga mala izas hayqqoy besees” gida.
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “[Our ancestor Moses gave us] the law that says we must kill anyone [who claims to be God]. This man claims that he is (the Son of/the man who is also) God, [so you must have him killed] {[command your soldiers to kill him]}.”
8 Philaxxossay hessa istti gizaysa siydi daroo babides.
When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
9 Gede gibbe gelidi Yesussa “ne awape yadii?” gidi oychchidees. Yesussay qasse izas ayy malththeka immibeyna.
So he [took Jesus] back inside the headquarters. He said to Jesus, “Where do you [really] come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
10 Hessa gish Philaxxossay “ne tas yootiki? ta nena kaqqanas woykko birsha yedanas godatethi tas dizayssa errikii?” gides.
So Pilate said to him, “Are you refusing to answer me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I [also] have authority to [have] you crucified {command my soldiers to crucify you}?”
11 Yesussayka izas zaaridi “sheeney ness Xoossafe immetoonttako nes ta bolla ay godatethika deenashin, gido attin tana nes aththi immidade bolla gita nagaray dees” gides.
Jesus replied, “The only authority you have is what has been given to you by God [MTY] {what God [MTY] has given you}. The [high priest] put me into your hands. [He has done to me what he wanted to do, and you do not really want to do it]. So he is guilty of committing a greater sin than you are.”
12 Philaxxossay hessa Yesussa hassa7e siydapee guye iza birshi yedana koyides shin Ayudatas babida gish istti “ne hayssa addeza birshiko Rome kawoo qeessare bagga gidaka, gasooyka bena berkka kawooththizadey wuri Qeessares moorkke” gishe wurikka wasiida.
Because of that, Pilate kept trying to release Jesus. But the Jewish [leaders][SYN], [threatening to report to the Emperor that Pilate was not going to punish a man who claimed he was a king], continued to shout, “Anyone who claims that he is a king is opposing the Emperor! So if you release this man, [we will make sure that] the Emperor [learns about it, and then he will not consider you as] his friend!”
13 Philaxxossay hessa siyda mala Yesussa gede kare kesisidi “Loochcha shuchchu” geetettiza soon pirda wombbaran uttides. He pirda sooy ayhudata qaalara “Gabata” getetes.
When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out again. He sat down at the place where he made decisions [about punishing people]. The place was called {People called it} The Stone Pavement. In the Aramaic language its name was Gabbatha.
14 He wode gadeey asii paziga ba77eles gigettiza gaalasa. Wodeyka gaalasafe usuupun saate mala gidides. He wode Philaxxosay Ayhudata “Hekoo inte kawoy hayssichii!” gides.
It was almost noontime, on the day that they prepared [things for] the Passover [celebration] (OR, the day before the [Sabbath during] the Passover [celebration]). Pilate said to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [ridiculing them], “Look at your king!”
15 Gido attin istti qass “Gede digga, gede digga, kaqqa” gishe wasiida. Philaxxossayka “inte kawoo kaqqoo?” gides. Qeessista halaqati zaaridi “nus Qessarepe hara kawooy deena” gida.
They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! [Have] him crucified {Command your soldiers to nail him to a cross}!” Pilate said to them, “[He is] your king! Do you really want me to [tell my soldiers to] nail him to a cross?” The chief priests replied, “The Emperor is our king! We do not have any other king!”
16 Hessafe simmidi Philaxxosay Yesussa kaqqistana mala isttas aththi immides. Isttka Yesussa oykki ekkii ehaaththaida.
Then [at last] Pilate agreed to do [what they wanted, and he told the soldiers] to crucify Jesus. John 19:16b-24 Then the soldiers took Jesus away.
17 Hessafe guye Yesussay ba kaqqistana masqqaleza tookidii “Asa hu7ee guuge” geetettizaso kezides. He sooy Ayhudata qaalara “Golggoota” geetetes.
[As they left], he himself was carrying the cross [on which they were going to nail him]. They went to a place called The Place of a Skull. In the Aramaic language it is called {they call it} Golgotha.
18 Iza heen kaqqiida. Yesussa gidoo gelththidi hara namm7u asata izatho hadirssarane oshshachchara kaqqidda.
There, [after removing most of his clothes], the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They also [nailed] two other [criminals to crosses]. There was one on each side, and Jesus was in the middle.
19 Philaxxossay “Nazzirete Yesussay Ayhudata kawoo” giza qaala xaafidi iza masqqale bolla izas hu7esora qaphides.
Pilate also [had them] write [on a board] a notice [that stated why they were executing him], and fasten it to the cross. But all they wrote was ‘Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews’.
20 Yesussay kaqqetidasooy katamas mata gidida gish daroo Ayhuda asay Philaxxossay xaafidaysa nababidees. Xaafeetidaysika Ayhudata qaalara, Latiine geetettiza qaalarane Girikee qaalarako.
Many Jews were [able to] read this sign, because the place where Jesus was nailed {where they nailed Jesus} to the cross was very close to [Jerusalem, where many people had come for the celebration], and because it was written {they wrote it} in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Ayhudata qeessata Halaqati Philaxxossa “ne iza Ayhudata kawoo” gada xaafoopa, Gido attin “(haysi addezii bena ta Ayhudata kawoo gidees) gada xaafa” gida.
So the Jewish priests went back to Pilate and protested, saying to him, “Change what they have written from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘This man said that he is the King of the Jews’!”
22 Philaxxossay qass “Ta xaafidaysa xaafadis” gides.
Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
23 Wootadarati Yesussa kaqqidape guye iza mayooza ekkidi wotadarata issa issa gakana mala oydu kessi shakereththida. Garsara mayiza mayozaka hessaththo shakereththida. Ggido attin garsara mayza mayoz siketoontta pudepe duge gakkanaas coo yeda dees.
After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak [separate]. This cloak was without seam, woven [from top to bottom], one piece of cloth.
24 Hessa gish wotadarati ba garssan “Gishan oonna gakkanakoone errana mala iza bolla exxa yeggana attin dakooko” gida. Hessika hanidday kase “Ta mayoo istti gishshetii ekkida, ta bollara mayza mayoza bolla exxa yegiida” getetida geesha maxaafa qaalay poleistana malasa. Wotararatikka heesa oothida.
So they said to each other, “Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s [decide] ([by] throwing lots/[by] gambling) who will get it.” So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that [the Psalmist had written] in Scripture, They divided [most of] my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for [one piece of] my clothing.
25 Yesussa masqqalle achchan iza aayiyane aayeeyi michchiya Qeliyyopha machcha Maramane Megidele geetettizasope yida Marama heen eqqida.
Near the cross where [they had nailed] Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and [another] Mary, the woman from Magdala [village].
26 Yesussay ba ayiyone izi siqqza iza kaallizaysi ba achchan eqqidayta beeydi, ba aayiyo “Aayee ne naza hessa beeya” gides.
Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, “This man [will now be like] your son.”
27 Hessafe kaalleththidi bena kaallizaysa “Ne ayo hinoo beeya” gides. Hinoo he saateype simmin he iza kaallizaysi Aayiyo besso ehaaththaidees.
And he said to me, “[Treat this] woman as [MET] your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home [and took care of her].
28 Hessafe guye Yesussay ha7i wurikka poleettidaysa erridi geesha maxaafan xaafetdaysi poleistana mala “tana samees” gides.
Later, Jesus knew that everything [that God sent him to do] had now been completed {that he had now completed everything [that God sent him to do]}, [but he knew that something else that was written in] the Scriptures [had] to be fulfilled {[that he had] to fulfill [something else that they had written in] the Scriptures}. So he said, “I am thirsty!”
29 Heen gadan caala phanqqida ushshii kumii uttida issi xaarro malay dees. Hessa gish heen gadan dizayti he caala ushsha zanzza milatza sppoonjje gizaysara hisophphe giza miththa xeeran qaphidi iza dunako shishshida.
There was a jar of sour wine there. So [someone took] a stalk of [a plant called] hyssop and [fastened] a sponge [to it. Then] he dipped [the sponge into the wine and] lifted it up to Jesus’ lips.
30 Yesussay he caalla ushsha xunxxi xeellidi “poleetides!” gides. Be hu7e duge ziqisidi shempo kezides.
When Jesus tasted the sour wine, he shouted, “[I] have finished [all that I came to do]!” Then he bowed his head and (died/handed over his spirit [to God]).
31 Hessafe guye Ayhudata danati kaqqetida asata meeqqethth wodirape menththidi istt iza masqqsale bollafe woththana mala Philaxxossa wossiida. Istti hessa ooththiday Ayhudati sambbatas gigetiza gaalas gidida gishshine he sambbatayka daroo giita ba77ale gidida gish sambbata gaalas ahay masqqale bolla gami77ontta malla koyida gishasa.
That was the day that they prepared [everything for their] ([Sabbath/day of rest]). The next day was a special day of rest, [because it was the day of rest during the Passover celebration]. The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not want the bodies [of the three men] to remain on the cross during their (Sabbath/day of rest) [because leaving bodies hanging overnight would be contrary to their Jewish laws]. So they went to Pilate and asked him [to command that] the legs [of the three men on the crosses] be broken {the [soldiers] to break the legs [of the three men on the crosses]}, [so that they would die quickly]. Then their [bodies] could be taken down [and buried] {someone could take down their bodies [and bury them]}.
32 Hessa gish wotadarati bidii Yesussara kaqqetiida asata meqqethth wodiirape wodiirape menththida.
So, [after Pilate agreed], the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man whom they had nailed on a cross near Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the second man.
33 Istti Yesussako biin izi kasetidinee hayqqdaysa beeydi iza wodiira meqqethth menththibeyteena.
But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
34 Gido attin wotadarata garssafe issadey toorara iza miileen cadiin heeraka suththine haththi gukkidees.
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear [to make sure that Jesus was dead]. Immediately blood [clots] and [other] liquid flowed out, [which showed that Jesus was really dead].
35 Hessa beeydadeyi inte izan ammanana mala markkattdes. Iza markkayka tuma. Izi yootzayka tumu gididaysa izi errees.
I, [John], saw this myself, and what I am writing is true. I [know that] I am telling the truth, and I am saying this in order that you may believe [in] (OR, [my testimony about]) [Jesus].
36 Hessika haniday “Iza meqqeththafe isinaka meeqquku” geetetida geesha maxaafa qaalay polistanassa.
These things happened in order that these words would be fulfilled {to fulfill these words} [that are written in] Scripture: “Not one of his bones will be broken {No one will break any of his bones}.”
37 Qasseka geesha maxafa harason “Istti ba caadide beeyana” gees.
And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
38 Ayhudata dannata babidi qotan Yesussa kaalliza Armmatyasa getetizasoppe yida Yossefoy Yesussa aha ekkanas Philaxoossa wossin Philaxoossayka izas eeroo gides. Hessa gish Yossefoy bidi Yesussa aha ekkidees.
Later, Joseph, from Arimathea [town, went to Pilate and] asked Pilate [to allow him] to take Jesus’ body [down from the cross]. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but he did not tell anyone that, because he was afraid of the [other] Jewish [leaders] [SYN]. Pilate permitted him to take Jesus’ body, so he went, along [with others], and they took Jesus’ body [down from the cross].
39 Kase Yesussakko qamara yida Niqoodimossayka kiilo bagga gidiza karbbeenne ireete geetettiza mishshara walakeetida shiito ekki yidees.
Nicodemus was one of them. He was the man who previously went to visit Jesus at night. Nicodemus bought an [expensive] mixture of myrrh and aloe [spices to put on the body]. It weighed about (75 pounds/35 kilograms).
40 He namm7u asati Yesussa aha ekkidi Ayhudatii aha xaxiza mala shiito cacafidii le77e mayora xaxida.
They took the body of Jesus and wrapped strips of linen cloth around it, putting the spices in with the strips of cloth. They did this according to the Jewish customs [about burying bodies in tombs].
41 Yesussay kaqqetidason issi akakilitesoy dees. He akakilitezason oonnika moggetonttay oraththa dufooy dess.
Close to the place where Jesus was crucified {where they nailed Jesus to the cross} there was a grove [of trees], and [at the edge of] that grove was a new burial cave. Nobody had ever been put in that cave [previously].
42 Ayhudata sambbatas gigeteza gaalas gidida gishshinne dufooykka matan diza gish Yesussa aha heen mogiida.
The Jewish day of rest would start [at sunset, and they had to finish burying his body before then]. So, since that cave was nearby, they laid Jesus’ body there [and rolled a huge stone in front of the entrance].
