Mak 15
1 Nʼezigbo isi ụtụtụ, ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye na ndị ozizi iwu, na ndị nzukọ ndị okenye niile, nwere mkpebi. Ha kere Jisọs agbụ, duru ya nyefee nʼaka Pailet.
And as soon as ever it was light the chief priests holding a consultation with the elders and scribes, they and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus, and carried Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.
2 Pailet jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ eze ndị Juu?” Ọ zara sị ya, “Gị onwe gị kwuru ya.”
And Pilate asked Him, Art thou the king of the Jews? and He answered It is as thou sayst.
3 Mgbe ahụ ndịisi nchụaja boro ya ebubo banyere ọtụtụ ihe.
And the chief priests accused Him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 Pailet jụrụ ya ajụjụ ọzọ sị, “Ọ bụ na ị nweghị ọsịsa ọbụla? Lee ọtụtụ ebubo ha na-ebo gị.”
So Pilate asked Him again, saying, Dost thou answer nothing? See how many things they witness against thee:
5 Ma Jisọs azaghị ihe ọzọ. Nke a juru Pailet anya.
but Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.
6 Ugbu a, ọ bụ omenaala nʼoge mmemme, na a ga-ahapụ otu onye mkpọrọ, bụ onye ha rịọrọ ka a hapụ.
Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired:
7 Nʼoge ahụ kwa, otu nwoke a na-akpọ Barabas nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ya na ụfọdụ ndị biliri megide isi ọchịchị, ndị gbukwara mmadụ nʼoge ọgbaaghara ahụ.
and there was one Barabbas under confinement with some of his accomplices in sedition, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 Igwe mmadụ gbakọrọ na-arịọ Pailet ka o mezuoro ha omenaala ha.
And the people clamoured and desired him to do as he always used to do for them.
9 Mgbe ahụ ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Unu chọrọ ka m hapụrụ unu eze ndị Juu?”
But Pilate answered them, saying, Would ye have me release to you the king of the Jews?
10 Ebe ọ maara na ọ bụ nʼihi ekworo ka ndịisi nchụaja ji nyefee Jisọs nʼaka ya.
(for he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up to him out of envy: )
11 Ma ndịisi nchụaja kpaliri igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha kwagide ya ka ọ hapụrụ ha Barabas.
but the chief priests incited the people to desire that he would rather release Barabbas to them.
12 Pailet jụrụ ha ọzọ sị, “Gịnị ka m ga-eme nwoke a unu kpọrọ eze ndị Juu?”
And Pilate answered, and said to them again, What then would you have me do with Him, whom ye call king of the Jews?
13 Ma ha tiri mkpu ọzọ sị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
And they cried out again, Crucify Him.
14 Ma Pailet jụrụ ha sị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị? Olee ihe ọjọọ o mere?” Ma ha tiri mkpu karịa ka ha si eti na mbụ, na-asị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
But Pilate said unto them, Why, what ill has He done? And they cried out the more vehemently, Crucify Him.
15 Ma ebe Pailet chọrọ ime ihe ga-atọ igwe mmadụ ahụ ụtọ, ọ hapụụrụ ha Barabas, nyefee ha Jisọs nʼaka ka ha pịa ya ihe ma kpọgidekwa ya nʼobe.
So Pilate being willing to ingratiate with the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered Him up to be crucified.
16 Ndị agha ahụ duuru ya pụọ baa nʼime ụlọeze a na-akpọ Pritoriọm. Ha kpọkọtakwara ndị agha ndị otu ha ndị ọzọ.
And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is called the Pretorium; and gathered their whole company together:
17 Ha yinyere ya uwe mwụda na-acha odo odo, kpukwasịkwa ya okpueze nke e ji ogwu kpaa nʼisi.
and they clad Him in purple, and platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head,
18 Emesịa, ha malitere na-ekele ya sị, “Ekele, eze ndị Juu.”
and saluted Him, saying, Hail king of the Jews;
19 Ha ji osisi kụọ ya nʼisi ọtụtụ mgbe, na-agbụ ya ọnụ mmiri asọ. Ha gbukwara ikpere nʼihu ya, na-akpọ isiala na-enye ya.
and struck Him on the head with a reed, and spit upon Him, and bowed their knees, and did Him homage.
20 Mgbe ha ji ya mechaa ihe ọchị, ha yipụrụ ya uwe odo odo ahụ, yinyekwa ya uwe nke ya. Emesịa, ha duuru ya pụọ gawa ịkpọgide ya nʼobe.
And when they had thus abused Him, they took off the purple from Him, and put his own clothes on Him, and brought Him out to crucify Him.
21 Ha zutere otu onye na-agata nʼụzọ, aha ya bụ Saimọn, onye Sirini, bụ nna Alegzanda na Rufọs. Ha manyere ya ka o buru obe ya.
And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was passing by, coming out of the country, to carry his cross:
22 Nʼikpeazụ, ha duuru Jisọs ruo ebe a na-akpọ Gọlgọta (nke pụtara “ebe okpokoro isi”).
and they brought Him to a place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a scull.
23 Ha nyere ya mmanya a gwara máá, ma ọ jụrụ ịṅụ ya.
And they offered Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He would not take it.
24 Emesịa, ha kpọgidere ya nʼobe, ma kee uwe ya nʼetiti onwe ha site nʼife nza onye ga-enwe nke ọ ga-ewe.
And when they had fastened Him to the cross, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what each of them should take.
25 Ha kpọgidere ya nʼobe nʼelekere itoolu nke ụtụtụ.
And it was the third hour, when they fixed Him on the cross:
26 Ha depụtara ebubo ha boro ya kwụba ya nʼelu obe ahụ, nke bụ: Eze ndị Juu.
and the title of his charge was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 Ha kpọgidekwara ya na ndị ohi abụọ nʼobe, otu nʼaka nri ya, nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe ya.
And they crucified two thieves with Him, one on his right hand and one on his left:
28 A gụkọtara ya na ndị na-emebi iwu.
so that the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."
29 Ndị mmadụ si nʼebe ahụ gafee fufere isi ha na-ekwutọ ya, na-asị, “Leenụ gị! Onye ga-akwada ụlọnsọ ma wugharịa ya nʼabalị atọ.
And they that passed by reviled Him, shaking their heads and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest, the temple,
30 Zọpụtanụ onwe gị! Si nʼelu obe ahụ rịdata.”
and buildest it in three days, save thyself and come down from the cross.
31 Ọ bụladị ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu na ndị ode akwụkwọ nọ na-akwa ya emo nʼetiti onwe ha na-asị, “Ọ zọpụtara ndị ọzọ, ma ọ pụghị ịzọpụta onwe ya!
And the chief priests likewise scoffing at Him among themselves, with the scribes, said, He saved others, Himself He cannot save: let Christ,
32 Ka Kraịst a, bụ Eze Izrel, si nʼelu obe a rịdata ka anyị hụ ma kwerekwa.” Ndị ahụ a kpọgidekọrọ ha na ya nʼobe nọkwa na-akparị ya.
the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe in Him. And even they that were crucified with Him, reviled Him.
33 Mgbe ọ kụrụ elekere iri na abụọ nke ehihie, ọchịchịrị gbachikọtara nʼala ahụ niile. Ọchịchịrị a dịgidere ruo nʼelekere atọ nke ehihie.
Now at the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land, until the ninth hour.
34 Nʼelekere atọ nke ehihie, Jisọs tiri mkpu akwa nʼoke olu sị, “Elọi, Elọi, lama sabaktani!” (nke pụtara, “Chineke m, Chineke m, gịnị mere i jiri hapụ m?”).
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani," which is being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 Ma ụfọdụ ndị guzo nso nʼebe ahụ, mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, sịrị, “Lee, ọ na-akpọ Ịlaịja!”
And some of them that stood by hearing it, said, Behold He calleth upon Elias.
36 Ya mere, otu onye gbaara ọsọ gaa weta ogbo, denye ya nʼime mmanya gbara ụka, fanye ya na okporo osisi, nye ya ka ọ ṅụọ, ma na-asị, “Hapụnụ ya, ka anyị lee ma Ịlaịja ọ ga-abịa tọtuo ya.”
And there ran one, and filled a spunge with vinegar, and putting it on a reed offered it Him to drink, saying, Let Him alone, let us see whether Elias will come to take Him down.
37 Ma Jisọs tiri mkpu nʼolu ike, kubie ume.
But Jesus cried with a loud voice and expired.
38 Akwa mgbochi nke ụlọnsọ ukwu sitere nʼelu gbawaa abụọ ruo nʼọnụ ala ala ya.
And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.
39 Mgbe ọchịagha guzo nʼihu ya, hụrụ otu o si kubie ume, o kwuru sị, “Nʼezie, nwoke a bụ Ọkpara Chineke.”
And when the centurion, that stood over against Him, saw that He expired with such a cry, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 O nwere ụfọdụ ụmụ nwanyị guzo nʼebe dị anya na-ele ihe na-eme, nʼetiti ha bụ Meri Magdalin, Meri nne Jemis nke nta, na Josef, na Salomi.
There were also women at a distance looking on: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 Ndị a bụ ndị naara eso ya na-ejekwara ya ozi, mgbe ọ nọ na Galili. Ọ dịkwa ndị inyom ọzọ nọkwa nʼebe ahụ, bụ ndị sooro ya bịa na Jerusalem.
who also when He was in Galilee, followed Him and waited on Him: and several others who came up to Jerusalem with Him.
42 Nʼoge uhuruchi (ya bụ ụbọchị na-abọta ụbọchị izuike), ebe ọ bụ Ụbọchị Nkwadebe,
And the evening being now come, (because it was the preparation,
43 Josef onye Arimatia, otu nʼime ndị otu nʼụlọ nzukọ, onye a na-asọpụrụ, onye na-echere ọbịbịa nke alaeze Chineke, ji obi ike jekwuru Pailet rịọ ya ka o bunye ya ahụ Jisọs.
or the day before the sabbath, ) Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, who also was expecting the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
44 Ọ juru Pailet anya ịnụ na ọ nwụọla. Ọ kpọrọ ọchịagha ahụ jụọ ya ma ọ nwụọla.
But Pilate wondered that He was dead already, and therefore calling for the centurion he asked him if He had been dead any time:
45 Mgbe ọchịagha ahụ gwara ya na ọ nwụọla, o kwere ka Josef buru ahụ ya.
and when he heard it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 Josef zụtara akwa ọcha linin, wedata ahụ ya jiri akwa ahụ fụchie ya. O buuru ya buba ya nʼime ili nke o gwuru nʼime nkume. Emesịa o nuketara otu nkume buru ibu, jiri ya mechie ọnụ ụzọ ili ahụ.
And he bought fine linen, and took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47 Meri Magdalin na Meri nne Josef hụkwara ebe e bubara ahụ ya.
And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
