Mariko 15
1 Na rĩrĩ, rũciinĩ tene, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri, na arutani a watho, na Kĩama gĩothe magĩtua ũrĩa megwĩka. Makĩoha Jesũ, makĩmũtwara, makĩmũneana kũrĩ Pilato.
Early the next morning, the chief priest, elders, and religious teachers—the whole governing council—came to a decision. They had Jesus bound and sent him to be handed over to Pilate.
2 Nake Pilato akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ũguo woiga nĩguo.”
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” “You said it,” Jesus replied.
3 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene makĩmũthitangĩra maũndũ maingĩ.
The chief priests kept on making many accusations against him.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato akĩmũũria o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũtarĩ na ũndũ ũgũcookia? Ta rora maũndũ marĩa mothe maragũthitangĩra.”
Pilate questioned him again, “Aren't you going to answer? See how many charges they're bringing against you!”
5 No Jesũ ndaigana gũcookia ũndũ, nake Pilato akĩgega.
But Jesus didn't give any more answers, much to Pilate's surprise.
6 Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ mũtugo hĩndĩ ya Iruga rĩu rĩa Bathaka, Pilato nĩamohoragĩra mwohwo ũmwe, o ũrĩa andũ mangĩetirie.
Now it was Pilate's custom at the Passover feast to release a prisoner to the people, whoever they requested.
7 Na nĩ kwarĩ mũndũ ũmwe wetagwo Baraba woohetwo hamwe na arĩa maambĩrĩirie ngũĩ ya gũũkĩrĩra thirikari na makooraga andũ thĩinĩ wa mbũkĩrĩra ĩyo.
One of the prisoners was a man called Barabbas who belonged to a group of rebels who had committed murder during an uprising.
8 Nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene gĩgĩthiĩ harĩ Pilato, gĩkĩmũũria eeke o ũrĩa aamenyerete gwĩka.
The crowd went to Pilate and asked him to release a prisoner following his usual custom.
9 Pilato akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũkwenda ndĩmuohorere mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?”
“Do you want me to release to you the King of Jews?” he asked them,
10 Nĩgũkorwo nĩamenyaga atĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene maaneanĩte Jesũ kũrĩ we nĩ ũndũ wa ũiru.
for he realized that it was because of their jealousy of Jesus that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
11 No rĩrĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene makĩringĩrĩria kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩĩre Pilato ohore Baraba handũ ha Jesũ.
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.
12 Pilato akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũgũkĩenda njĩke atĩa na mũndũ ũyũ mwĩtaga mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?”
“Then what should I do with the one you call the King of the Jews?” he asked them.
13 Nao makĩanĩrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwambe mũtĩ igũrũ!”
“Crucify him!” they shouted back.
14 Nake Pilato akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩ? Nĩ ngero ĩrĩkũ agerete?” No-o magĩkĩrĩrĩria kwanĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mwambe mũtĩ igũrũ!”
“Why? What crime has he committed?” Pilate asked them. “Crucify him!” they shouted back even louder.
15 Na tondũ nĩendaga gũkenia kĩrĩndĩ kĩu, Pilato akĩmohorera Baraba. Akĩhũũrithia Jesũ iboko, agĩcooka akĩmũneana akambwo mũtĩ igũrũ.
Wanting to please the mob, Pilate released Barabbas to them. First he had Jesus flogged and then handed him over to be crucified.
16 Nacio thigari igĩtwara Jesũ gĩikaro-inĩ kĩa barũthi (na nĩkĩo gĩetagwo Puratoria); igĩcookanĩrĩria mbũtũ yothe ya thigari.
The soldiers took him away into the Praetorium courtyard, where they called out the whole cohort.
17 Ikĩmũhumba nguo ndaaya ya rangi wa ndathi, igĩcooka igĩtuma thũmbĩ ya mĩigua, ikĩmwĩkĩra mũtwe.
They put royal purple robes on him and made a crown of thorns that they placed on him.
18 Ikĩambĩrĩria kũmũnyũrũria, ikĩmwĩraga atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩrĩ mũhoro, wee mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?”
Then they saluted him, saying, “Hail King of the Jews!”
19 Ikĩmũhũũra na rũthanju mũtwe maita maingĩ ikĩmũtuagĩra mata. Ikĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere yake, ikĩmũturagĩria ndu ta ikũmũhooya.
They repeatedly beat him around the head with a rod, spat at him, and fell on their knees before him as if in worship.
20 Na ciarĩkia kũmũnyũrũria-rĩ, ikĩmũruta nguo ĩyo ndaaya ya rangi wa ndathi, ikĩmũhumba nguo ciake mwene. Igĩcooka ikĩmuumagaria ikamwambe mũtĩ igũrũ.
After they finished mocking him, they took off the purple robes, and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to be crucified.
21 Na marĩ njĩra thigari ikĩnyiita mũndũ wahĩtũkaga akiuma mĩgũnda-inĩ, wetagwo Simoni wa kuuma Kurene, ithe wa Alekisandero na Rufusi, na ikĩmũkuuithia mũtharaba wa Jesũ na hinya.
They forced a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the countryside, to carry his cross. Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus.
22 Igĩgĩkinyia Jesũ handũ harĩa heetagwo Gologotha (ũguo nĩ kuuga Handũ hahaana ta Ihĩndĩ rĩa Mũtwe).
They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means “the Place of the Skull.”
23 Ningĩ igĩcooka ikĩmũhe ndibei ĩtukanĩtio na manemane, nake Jesũ akĩrega kũmĩnyua.
They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it.
24 Igĩkĩmwamba mũtĩ igũrũ. Ikĩgayana nguo ciake, na ũndũ wa gũcicuukĩra mĩtĩ nĩguo imenye o ĩrĩa mũndũ egũkuua.
Then they crucified him. They divided his clothes, and threw dice to decide who would have what.
25 Kwarĩ thaa ithatũ cia rũciinĩ rĩrĩa ciamwambire mũtĩ igũrũ.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
26 Ũndũ ũrĩa aathitangĩirwo wandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe MŨTHAMAKI WA AYAHUDI.”
A sign with the written charge against him read: “The King of the Jews.”
27 Ningĩ ikĩamba atunyani eerĩ hamwe nake, ũmwe mwena wake wa ũrĩo, nake ũcio ũngĩ mwena wake wa ũmotho.
They crucified two criminals with him, one on his left and one on his right.
28 (Namo Maandĩko makĩhingio marĩa moigaga atĩrĩ, “Aataranĩirio na andũ arĩa aagarari watho.”)
29 Andũ arĩa maahĩtũkagĩra hau nĩmamũrumaga makĩinagia mĩtwe yao, makoiga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Wee ũngĩratharirie hekarũ na ũmĩake na mĩthenya ĩtatũ-rĩ,
People passing by shouted insults at him, shaking their heads, and saying. “Aha! You who claimed you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days;
30 harũrũka uume mũtharaba-inĩ ũcio, wĩhonokie!”
save yourself and come down from the cross!”
31 O ũndũ ũmwe athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na arutani a watho nĩmamũnyũrũragia, makerana atĩrĩ, “Nĩarahonokagia arĩa angĩ, no ndangĩhota kwĩhonokia we mwene.
Likewise the chief priests and the religious teachers made fun of him, saying to each other, “He saved others, but he can't save himself.
32 Kristũ ũyũ, Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, ta nĩakĩharũrũke rĩu oime mũtharaba-inĩ, nĩguo tuone twĩtĩkie.” O nao arĩa maambanĩirio hamwe nake, makĩmũruma.
If he really is the Messiah, the King of Israel, then why doesn't he come down from the cross so we can see and believe!” Even those who were crucified with him insulted him.
33 Na rĩrĩ, thaa thita cia mũthenya ciakinya, bũrũri wothe ũkĩgĩa nduma nginya thaa kenda.
At noon darkness fell over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
34 Na thaa kenda Jesũ akĩgũthũka na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakithani?” naguo ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai wakwa, Ngai wakwa, wandiganĩria nĩkĩ?”
At three o'clock Jesus cried out, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani,” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
35 Rĩrĩa andũ amwe a arĩa marũngiĩ hau maiguire ũguo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩriai agĩĩta Elija.”
Some of those standing there heard this, and said, “He's calling for Elijah.”
36 Mũndũ ũmwe agĩtengʼera, agĩtobokia thibũnji thiki-inĩ akĩmĩthecerera kamũrangi-inĩ akĩhe Jesũ anyue. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tiganai nake. Rekei tuone kana Elija nĩegũũka kũmũcuurũria mũtharaba-inĩ.”
One man ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, put it on a stick, and tried to give it to Jesus to drink. “Leave him alone,” he said. “Let's see if Elijah will come to take him down.”
37 Nake Jesũ agĩkaya aanĩrĩire, agĩtuĩkana.
Then Jesus groaned loudly, and died.
38 Nakĩo gĩtambaya kĩa hekarũ gĩgĩatũkana icunjĩ igĩrĩ kuuma igũrũ nginya thĩ.
The Temple veil was ripped in two from top to bottom.
39 Na rĩrĩa mũnene-wa-thigari-igana, ũrĩa warũngiĩ hau mangʼethanĩire, aiguire ũrĩa akaya na akĩona ũrĩa akua, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ mũndũ ũyũ oima Mũrũ wa Ngai!”
When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how he died, he said, “This man was truly the Son of God.”
40 Nĩ haarĩ na atumia meeroragĩra marĩ haraaya. Ũmwe wao aarĩ Mariamu Mũmagidali, na Mariamu nyina wa Jakubu ũrĩa warĩ Mũnini na wa Jose, na Salome.
Some women were watching from a distance including Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses, and Salome.
41 Rĩrĩa aarĩ Galili, atumia aya nĩo maamũrũmagĩrĩra na makamũtungatagĩra. Ningĩ hau nĩ haarĩ na atumia angĩ aingĩ arĩa mookĩte nake Jerusalemu.
They had followed Jesus and had taken care of him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come with him to Jerusalem were also there.
42 Na tondũ kwarĩ Mũthenya wa Kwĩhaarĩria (nĩguo mũthenya ũrĩa wĩ mbere ya Thabatũ), gwakuhĩrĩria hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ,
It was Friday, the day before the Sabbath. When evening came,
43 Jusufu wa Arimathea, mũndũ warĩ igweta mũno Kĩama-inĩ gĩa athuuri, na we mwene nĩeetagĩrĩra ũthamaki wa Ngai, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Pilato na ũcamba, akĩhooya etĩkĩrio akuue mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ.
Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the governing council who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, had the courage to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus' body.
44 Nake Pilato akĩgega aigua atĩ Jesũ nĩarĩkĩtie gũkua. Agĩĩta mũthigari ũrĩa mũnene-wa-thigari-igana, akĩmũũria kana Jesũ nĩarĩkĩtie gũkua.
Pilate was surprised that Jesus had died so soon, so he summoned the centurion and asked him if Jesus had already died.
45 Rĩrĩa aamenyithirio nĩ mũnene ũcio wa thigari igana atĩ nĩguo kwarĩ, agĩĩtĩkĩria Jusufu akuue mwĩrĩ ũcio.
Once he had confirmation from the centurion, Pilate gave permission for Joseph to take the body.
46 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu akĩgũra taama wa gatani, agĩcuurũria mwĩrĩ ũcio. Akĩũkũnja na taama ũcio wa gatani, agĩthiĩ akĩũiga thĩinĩ wa mbĩrĩra yenjetwo rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga. Agĩcooka akĩgaragaria ihiga rĩkĩhinga mũromo wa mbĩrĩra ĩyo.
Joseph bought a linen sheet. Then he took Jesus' body down from the cross and wrapped it in the sheet, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of rock. Then he rolled a heavy stone up against the entrance.
47 Nake Mariamu Mũmagidali na Mariamu ũrĩa nyina wa Jose makĩona harĩa aigirwo.
Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where he was laid.
