Markus 15
1 Da sassafe, sai manyan firistoci da dattawa, da malaman dokoki, da dukan Majalisa, suka yanke shawara. Suka daure Yesu, suka kai shi, suka miƙa shi ga Bilatus.
Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
2 Bilatus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Kai ne Sarkin Yahudawa?” Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “I, haka yake, kamar yadda ka faɗa.”
Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
3 Manyan firistoci suka zarge shi a kan abubuwa da yawa.
Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
4 Don haka Bilatus ya sāke tambayarsa ya ce, “Ba za ka amsa ba? Dubi abubuwa da yawa da suke zarginka da su.”
So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
5 Amma har yanzu, Yesu bai ba da amsa ba, Bilatus ya yi mamaki.
But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
6 Yanzu fa, al’ada ce a lokacin Bikin, a saki ɗan kurkuku guda wanda mutane suka roƙa.
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
7 Wani mutumin da ake kira Barabbas, yana a kurkuku, tare da waɗansu’yan tawaye da suka yi kisankai a lokacin wani hargitsi.
[At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
8 Taron suka matso, suka ce roƙi Bilatus yă yi musu abin da ya saba yi.
A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
9 Bilatus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Kuna so in sakar muku Sarkin Yahudawa?”
Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
10 Don ya san saboda sonkai ne manyan firistoci suka ba da Yesu a gare shi.
[He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
11 Amma manyan firistoci suka zuga taron su sa a saki Barabbas, a maimakon Yesu.
But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
12 Bilatus ya tambaye su ya ce, “To, me zan yi da wanda kuke ce da shi, sarkin Yahudawa?”
Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
13 Suka yi ihu, suka ce, “A gicciye shi!”
Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
14 Bilatus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Don me? Wane laifi ya yi?” Amma suka ƙara yin ihu suna cewa, “A gicciye shi!”
Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
15 Don son yă faranta wa taron rai, sai Bilatus ya sakar musu Barabbas. Ya sa aka yi wa Yesu bulala, sa’an nan ya ba da shi a gicciye.
So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
16 Sojojin suka tafi da Yesu cikin fadar gwamna (wato, Firetoriyum), suka kira dukan kamfanin sojoji wuri ɗaya.
The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
17 Suka sa masa wata riga mai ruwan shunayya, suka kuma tuƙa rawanin ƙaya suka sa masa.
[After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
18 Sai suka fara ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe sarkin Yahudawa!”
Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
19 Suka dinga bugunsa a kā da sanda, suka tattofa masa miyau. Suka durƙusa suka yi masa bangirma na ba’a.
They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
20 Bayan da suka gama yin masa ba’a, suka tuɓe rigar mai ruwan shunayyar, suka sa masa nasa tufafi. Sai suka tafi da shi don a gicciye shi.
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
21 Sai ga wani mutum daga Sairin da ake kira Siman, mahaifin Alekzanda da Rufus, yana wucewa kan hanyarsa daga ƙauye. Sai suka tilasta shi yă ɗauki gicciyen.
[After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
22 Suka kawo Yesu a wurin da ake kira Golgota (wanda yake nufin Wurin Ƙoƙon Kai).
They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
23 Sai suka miƙa masa ruwan inabi gauraye da mur, don yă rage zafi, amma bai sha ba.
Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
24 Sai suka gicciye shi. Suka rarraba tufafinsa, suka jefa ƙuri’a a kansu don su ga abin da kowa zai samu.
[Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
25 Sa’a ta uku na safe ce kuwa aka gicciye shi.
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26 Akwai rubutu na zarginsa, da ya ce, Sarkin Yahudawa.
They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
27 Suka gicciye’yan fashi biyu tare da shi, ɗaya a damansa, ɗayan kuma a hagunsa.
They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
29 Masu wucewa suka zazzage shi. Suka kaɗa kai suna cewa, “To, kai da za ka rushe haikali ka kuma gina shi a kwana uku,
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
30 sai ka sauko daga gicciyen, ka ceci kanka!”
[If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
31 Haka kuma, manyan firistoci da malaman dokoki suka yi masa ba’a a junansu, suna cewa, “Ya ceci waɗansu, amma ya kāsa ceton kansa!
The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
32 Bari wannan Kiristi, wannan Sarkin Isra’ila, yă sauko yanzu daga gicciye, don mu ga mu kuma gaskata.” Waɗanda aka gicciye tare da shi ma suka zazzage shi.
He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
33 Daga sa’a ta shida har zuwa sa’a ta tara na rana, duhu ya rufe dukan ƙasar.
At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
34 A daidai sa’a ta tara na rana, sai Yesu ya ɗaga murya da ƙarfi ya ce, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” (Wato, “Ya Allahna, ya Allahna, don me ka yashe ni?”).
At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
35 Da waɗansu cikin waɗanda suke tsattsaye kusa da wurin suka ji haka, suka ce, “Ku saurara, yana kiran Iliya.”
When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
36 Wani mutum ya ruga ya je ya jiƙo soso da ruwan tsami, ya soka a sanda ya miƙa wa Yesu yă sha. Ya ce, “Ku ƙyale shi. Bari mu ga ko Iliya zai zo yă saukar da shi.”
One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
37 Da murya mai ƙarfi, Yesu ya ja numfashinsa na ƙarshe.
And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
38 Labulen haikali kuwa ya yage kashi biyu, daga sama har ƙasa.
[At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
39 Da jarumin da yake tsaye a gaban Yesu ya ji muryarsa, ya kuma ga yadda ya mutu, sai ya ce, “Gaskiya, wannan mutum Ɗan Allah ne!”
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
40 Waɗansu mata suna kallo daga nesa. A cikinsu kuwa akwai Maryamu Magdalin, Maryamu mahaifiyar Yaƙub ƙarami da Yusuf, da kuma Salome.
There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
41 A Galili waɗannan mata ne suka riƙa bin sa suna yin masa hidima. Waɗansu mata da yawa da suka zo tare da shi daga Urushalima, su ma suna nan a can.
42 Ranar kuwa ita ce ranar Shirye-shirye (wato, ana kashegari Asabbaci). Saboda haka, da yamma ta yi, sai
When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
43 Yusuf daga Arimateya, wani sanannen ɗan Majalisa, wanda dā ma yake jiran zuwan mulkin Allah, ya je wajen Bilatus ba tsoro, ya roƙa a ba shi jikin Yesu.
44 Bilatus ya yi mamaki da ya ji cewa Yesu ya riga ya mutu. Sai ya kira jarumin ya tambaye shi ko Yesu ya riga ya mutu.
Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
45 Da ya ji ta bakin jarumin cewa haka ne, sai ya ba wa Yusuf jikin.
When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
46 Sai Yusuf ya kawo zanen lilin, ya saukar da jikin, ya nannaɗe shi da lilin ɗin, sa’an nan ya sa shi a kabarin da aka fafe a cikin dutse. Sai ya gungura wani dutse ya rufe bakin kabarin.
After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
47 Maryamu Magdalin da Maryamu uwar Yusuf sun ga inda aka kwantar da shi.
Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
