Jọn 19
1 Mgbe ahụ, Pailet kpụụrụ Jisọs, a pịa ya ihe.
THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 Ndị agha kpara okpueze nke e ji ogwu mee, kpukwasị ya nʼisi, yinyekwa ya uwe mwụda na-acha odo odo.
And the soldiers having platted a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe,
3 Ha bịakwutere ya ọtụtụ mgbe na-asị, “Ekele, gị Eze ndị Juu!” Ha na-amakwa ya ụra nʼihu.
and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they gave him slaps on the face with their hands.
4 Pailet pụkwara nʼezi ọzọ sị ha, “Lee, ana m akpọpụtara unu ya, ka unu mara na achọpụtaghị m ihe ọjọọ ọbụla o mere.”
Then again went Pilate out, and said to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault at all.
5 Mgbe Jisọs yi okpu ogwu na uwe odo odo pụta, Pailet sịrị ha, “Lekwanụ nwoke ahụ!”
Then came Jesus out, bearing the thorny crown, and the purple robe. And he said to them, Behold the man!
6 Ngwangwa, ndịisi nchụaja na ndị nche hụrụ ya, ha tiri mkpu sị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe! Kpọgide ya nʼobe!” Pailet sịrị ha, “Kpọrọnụ ya kpọgbuo ya nʼonwe unu. Achọpụtaghị m ihe ọjọọ ọbụla o mere.”
When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw him, they cried vociferously, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I have not found in him a fault.
7 Ndị Juu zara ya, “Anyị nwere iwu, dị ka iwu ahụ siri dị, ihe kwesiri ya bụ ọnwụ, nʼihi na ọ kpọrọ onwe ya Ọkpara Chineke.”
The Jews replied to him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he hath made himself the Son of God.
8 Mgbe Pailet nụrụ nke a, oke egwu tụrụ ya karịa.
When Pilate then heard this saying, he was the more afraid:
9 Ọ laghachiri azụ nʼime ụlọeze ahụ, jụọ Jisọs, “Olee ebe i siri bịa?” Ma Jisọs azaghị ya ihe ọbụla.
and entered into the praetorium again, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pailet sịrị ya, “Ị na-agba m nkịtị? Ọ bụ na ị maghị na m nwere ike ịkpọgide gị nʼobe, nweekwa ike ịhapụ gị ka ị laa?”
Then saith Pilate to him, Dost thou not speak to me? dost thou not know that I have power to crucify thee, and that I have power to release thee?
11 Jisọs zara ya, “Ị garaghị enwe ike ọbụla nʼebe m nọ, ma ọ bụrụ na o siteghị nʼelu rute gị aka. Nke a mere mmehie onye duru m nye nʼaka gị ji karịa.”
Jesus answered, Thou wouldest have had no authority over me, unless it had been given thee from above: for this reason, he that hath delivered me up to thee hath the greater crime.
12 Site na mgbe ahụ Pailet chọsịrị ike ịhapụ ya. Ma ndị Juu tisiri mkpu ike sị, “Ị hapụ nwoke a ka ọ laa, ị bụkwaghị enyi Siza. Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-eme onwe ya eze na-elelị Siza.”
Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews clamoured, saying, If thou release this fellow, thou art no friend of Caesar’s: every one who professes himself a king, speaks in opposition to Caesar.
13 Mgbe Pailet nụrụ okwu ndị a, ọ kpọpụtara Jisọs nʼezi, nọdụkwa ala nʼoche ikpe ya dị nʼebe a na-akpọ Pevumentị (maọbụ Gabata nʼasụsụ Hibru).
When Pilate therefore heard this speech, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat, in a place called the Stone Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Ọ bụ nʼihe dịka nʼoge ehihie nke ụbọchị nkwadebe maka oriri Ngabiga. Ọ sịrị ndị Juu, “Leenụ eze unu!”
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!
15 Ma ha tiri mkpu, “Kpọpụ ya, Kpọpụ ya! Kpọgide ya nʼobe.” Pailet jụrụ ha, “Unu chọrọ ka m kpọgide eze unu nʼobe?” Ma ndịisi nchụaja zara, “Anyị enweghị eze ọzọ karịa Siza.”
But they cried vociferously, Away with him, away! crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Mgbe ahụ, o nyefere ya nʼaka ha, ka ha kpọgide ya nʼobe. Ha kpọọrọ Jisọs pụọ.
Then delivered he him therefore unto them, that he should be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.
17 O buuru obe ya gaa nʼebe a na-akpọ Okpokoro Isi (nke pụtara Gọlgọta nʼasụsụ Hibru).
And carrying his cross he went forth to a place called the Place of a Skull, which in the Hebrew is termed Golgotha:
18 Nʼebe ahụ ka ha kpọgidere ya nʼobe, ya na mmadụ abụọ ndị ọzọ. Otu onye nʼaka nri ya, onye nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe ya.
where they crucified him, and two others with him, on this side and on that, and in the midst Jesus.
19 O nwere ihe Pailet dere kụpanye nʼelu obe ahụ. Ihe o dere bụ nke a: Jisọs onye Nazaret, Eze ndị Juu.
And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And this was the writing: JESUS THE NAZAREAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS,
20 Ọtụtụ ndị Juu gụrụ ihe a o dere, nʼihi na ebe a kpọgburu Jisọs dị nso nʼobodo ahụ. E dekwara ya nʼasụsụ Hibru, Griik na Latin.
This title then many of the Jews read: for the spot where Jesus was crucified was nigh unto the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
21 Ndịisi nchụaja nke ndị Juu gwara Pailet sị, “Edela na ọ bụ Eze ndị Juu, kama dee na nwoke a sịrị, abụ m eze ndị Juu.”
The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Ma Pailet zara, “Ihe m dere, edeela m ya.”
Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
23 Mgbe ndị agha kpọgidechara Jisọs nʼobe, ha kere uwe ya ụzọ anọ. Onye ọbụla nʼime ha nwetara otu ụzọ. Ha chịrị uwe mwụda ya nke a na-adụghị adụ, kama a kpara ya akpa site nʼelu ya ruo nʼala ya.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, for each soldier a part; and his vest: now the vest was without a seam, woven from the upper parts throughout the whole.
24 Ha gwarịtara onwe ha, “Ka anyị hapụnụ ịdọka ya, kama ka anyị fee nza lee onye ọ ga-adanyere i were ya.” Nke a bụ iji mezuo ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, “Ha kere uwe m nʼetiti onwe ha, feekwa nza banyere uwe mwụda m.” Nke a bụ ihe ndị agha ahụ mere.
They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, “They parted my garments among them, and for my vest they cast lots.” So the soldiers therefore did these things.
25 Nne ya, nwanne ya nwanyị, bụ Meri nwunye Klopas, na Meri Magdalin guzo nso nʼakụkụ obe Jisọs.
Now beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ nne ya na onye na-eso ụzọ ya ọ hụrụ nʼanya ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ya, ọ sịrị nne ya, “Nwanyị lee nwa gị nwoke.”
When Jesus then beheld his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Ọ sịrị onye ahụ nke na-eso ụzọ ya, “Lee nne gị.” Site nʼoge ahụ, onye ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya kpọọrọ ya laa nʼụlọ nke ya.
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.
28 Nʼikpeazụ, mgbe Jisọs matara na ihe niile emezuola. Ma iji mezuo ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, ọ sịrị, “Akpịrị na-akpọ m nkụ.”
After this, Jesus, conscious that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Otu ite mmanya ọra dọrọ nso nʼebe ahụ. Ha were ogbo denye nʼime mmanya ahụ, kenye ogbo ahụ nʼosisi hisọp welie ya elu chee ya nʼọnụ.
Now there was placed a vessel full of vinegar: they then filling a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it on a stick of hyssop, carried it to his mouth.
30 Mgbe Jisọs detụrụ mmanya ahụ ọnụ, ọ sịrị, “Ọ gwụchaala.” O hulatara isi ya, kubie ume.
When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and inclining his head, he surrendered up his spirit.
31 Ma ndị Juu achọghị ka ahụ ndị ahụ a kpọgidere nʼobe nọgide nʼebe ahụ ka chi bọọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ Ụbọchị Nkwadebe. Echi ya bụ ga-abụ ụbọchị izuike pụrụ iche. Ha rịọọrọ Pailet ka a gbajisie ha ụkwụ ma bupụkwa ahụ ha.
The Jews therefore, as it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath-day was a great day, ) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Ndị agha ahụ bịara gbajie ụkwụ onye nke mbụ na onye nke ọzọ a kpọgburu ha na ya.
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.
33 Ma mgbe ha bịaruru nʼebe Jisọs nọ, ha hụrụ na ọ nwụọlarị. Nʼihi nke a, ha agbajighị ụkwụ ya.
But when they came to Jesus, as they saw that he was already dead, they brake not his legs:
34 Kama otu onye nʼime ndị agha ahụ weere ùbe mapuo ya akụkụ ya. Ngwangwa ọbara na mmiri gbapụtara.
but one of the soldiers with his lance pierced his side, and immediately there gushed out blood and water.
35 Onye hụrụ ihe ndị a gbara ama ka unu kwere, ama ya bụ eziokwu, ọ matakwara na ihe ọ na-ekwu bụ eziokwu.
And he that saw it bore witness, and we know that his testimony is true: and he himself is conscious that he speaketh what is true, that ye might believe.
36 Ihe ndị a niile mere ka e mezuo ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, “Ọ dịghị ọkpụkpụ ya ọbụla nke a ga-agbaji.”
Now these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him shall not be broken.”
37 E dekwara nʼebe ọzọ nʼakwụkwọ sị, “Ha ga-elegide onye ahụ ha mapuru ahụ anya.”
And again another scripture saith, “They shall look on him whom they have pierced.”
38 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, otu nwoke aha ya bụ Josef, onye sitere Arimatia, onye na-eso ụzọ Jisọs na nzuzo, nʼihi egwu ndị Juu, jekwuuru Pailet rịọ ka o nye ya ikike iburu ahụ Jisọs, Pailet kwere, ya mere ọ bịara buru ahụ ya.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, ) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took away the body of Jesus.
39 Nikọdimọs, onye ahụ bịakwutere Jisọs nʼabalị na mbụ, bịakwara. O wetara máá na aloos a gwakọtara agwakọta, nke ọtụtụ ya ruru ihe dịka kilogram iri atọ na anọ.
And Nicodemus, who had come to Jesus by night formerly, came also, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred weight.
40 Ha buuru ahụ Jisọs, tee ya ụda ndị ahụ, fụchikwaa ya nʼakwa ọcha linin dịka omenaala olili ozu nke ndị Juu si dị.
Then they took the body, and bound it with swathes together with the aromatics, as the custom is with the Jews to bury.
41 Ebe ahụ a kpọgidere ya nʼobe dị nʼotu ubi a gbara ogige. Nʼime ogige a, otu ili ọhụrụ dị na ya nke e jibeghị lie onye ọbụla.
And there was near the spot were he was crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb, wherein no person had ever yet been laid.
42 Nʼihi na ọ bụ ụbọchị Nkwadebe nke ndị Juu, nakwa nʼihi na ili ahụ dị nso, ha dọnyere ahụ Jisọs nʼime ya.
Because of the preparation of the Jews therefore, they laid Jesus there; for the sepulchre was just by.
