Yokaana 19
1 Awo Piraato n’atwala Yesu n’amukuba embooko.
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 Abaserikale ne bakola engule ey’amaggwa ne bagissa ku mutwe gwa Yesu, ne bamwambaza olugoye olwa kakobe,
And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;
3 ne bajja w’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Mirembe, Kabaka w’Abayudaaya!” Ne bamukuba empi.
and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.
4 Piraato n’afuluma ebweru nate, n’agamba Abayudaaya nti, “Laba, mbaleetera Yesu ebweru, kyokka mutegeere nga nze ndaba taliiko musango.”
And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.
5 Awo Yesu n’afuluma ng’atikkiddwa engule eyakolebwa mu maggwa, era ng’ayambaziddwa olugoye olw’effulungu, Piraato n’agamba Abayudaaya nti, “Mulabe omuntu oyo!”
Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold, the man!
6 Awo bakabona abakulu n’abaweereza bwe baamulaba, ne baleekaana nti, “Mukomerere, mukomerere!” Piraato n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe mumutwale mumukomerere. Nze simulabako musango.”
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.
7 Abayudaaya ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tulina etteeka, era okusinziira ku tteeka eryo asaanidde kuttibwa, kubanga yeeyita Omwana wa Katonda.”
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 Piraato bwe yawulira ekyo ne yeeyongera okutya.
When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;
9 N’azzaayo Yesu mu lubiri, n’amubuuza nti, “Oli wa wa?” Yesu n’atamuddamu kigambo.
and he entered into the palace again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Piraato n’amugamba nti, “Tonziramu? Tomanyi nga nnina obuyinza okukuta oba okukukomerera?”
Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?
11 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Tewandibadde na buyinza ku Nze n’akatono, singa tebukuweebwa kuva waggulu. Noolwekyo abo abampaddeyo gy’oli be balina ekibi ekisinga.”
Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.
12 Okuva mu kiseera ekyo Piraato n’asala amagezi okuta Yesu. Naye Abayudaaya ne baleekaana nga bagamba nti, “Bw’ota omuntu oyo nga tokyali mukwano gwa Kayisaali. Buli eyeefuula kabaka aba awakanya Kayisaali.”
Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar’s friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
13 Bwe baayogera batyo Piraato n’azza Yesu ebweru gye bali, n’atuula ku ntebe esalirwako emisango, mu kifo ekiyitibwa Amayinja Amaaliire, mu Lwebbulaniya Gabbasa.
When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Lwali lunaku lwa kutegeka Mbaga ejjuukirirwako Okuyitako. Essaawa zaali nga mukaaga ez’omu ttuntu. Piraato n’agamba Abayudaaya nti, “Kabaka wammwe wuuno!”
Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!
15 Abayudaaya ne baleekaana nga bagamba nti, “Mukomerere, mukomerere!” Piraato n’ababuuza nti, “Kabaka wammwe gwe mba nkomerera?” Bakabona abakulu ne baddamu nti, “Tetulina kabaka mulala, wabula Kayisaali.”
They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Piraato n’abawa Yesu okumukomerera. Awo ne batwala Yesu;
Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.
17 n’afuluma nga yeetisse omusaalaba gwe, n’atuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa eky’Ekiwanga, mu Lwebbulaniya kiyitibwa Gologoosa.
They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Ne bamukomerera ku musaalaba mu kifo ekyo. Era ne bakomerera n’abalala babiri, omu eruuyi n’omulala eruuyi, Yesu n’abeera wakati waabwe.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 Piraato n’akola ekiwandiiko n’akiteeka ku musaalaba, nga kisoma nti: “Yesu Omunnazaaleesi, Kabaka w’Abayudaaya.”
And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Ekifo kye baakomereramu Yesu kyali kumpi n’ekibuga, era Abayudaaya bangi abaasoma ekiwandiiko ekyo kubanga kyali mu Lwebbulaniya, ne mu Lulatini ne Luyonaani.
This title therefore read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, [and] in Latin, [and] in Greek.
21 Awo bakabona abakulu ab’Abayudaaya ne bagamba Piraato nti, “Towandiika nti, ‘Kabaka w’Abayudaaya,’ naye nti, ‘Oyo eyeeyita Kabaka w’Abayudaaya.’”
The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but, that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Piraato n’addamu nti, “Ekyo kye mpandiise kye mpandiise.”
Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Abaserikale bwe baamala okukomerera Yesu, ne baddira engoye ze ne baziteeka emiteeko ena. Buli muserikale n’afuna omuteeko gumu. Ne baddira ekkanzu ye, eyali erukiddwa obulukibwa yonna,
The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 abaserikale ne bagambagana nti, “Tuleme kugiyuzaamu naye tugikubire kalulu, tulabe anaagitwala.” Kino kyabaawo okutuukiriza ekyawandiikibwa ekigamba nti: “Baagabana ebyambalo byange, n’ekkanzu yange ne bagikubira akalulu.” Ekyo kyennyini abaserikale kye baakolera ddala.
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 upon my vesture did they cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Okumpi n’omusaalaba gwa Yesu waali wayimiriddewo nnyina, ne muganda wa nnyina, ne Maliyamu muka Kuloopa, ne Maliyamu Magudaleene.
But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Yesu bwe yalaba nnyina, era n’omuyigirizwa Yesu gwe yayagalanga ennyo ng’ayimiridde awo, n’agamba nnyina nti, “Maama, laba omwana wo.”
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold, thy son!
27 Ate n’agamba omuyigirizwa nti, “Laba maama wo.” Okuva olwo omuyigirizwa oyo n’atwala nnyina Yesu eka ewuwe.
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own [home].
28 Yesu bwe yamanya nga byonna biwedde, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire, n’ayogera nti, “Ennyonta ennuma.”
After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.
29 Waali wateekeddwawo ekibya ekijjudde wayini omukaatuufu, ne bannyikamu ekyangwe, ne bakiteeka ku kati ka ezobu ne bakiteeka ku mumwa gwa Yesu.
There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.
30 Bwe yakombako n’agamba nti, “Kiwedde.” N’akutamya omutwe gwe n’awaayo obulamu bwe.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
31 Olunaku nga bwe lwali olw’okweteekerateekera Ssabbiiti eyo enkulu ennyo, abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne batayagala mirambo kusigala ku misaalaba. Kyebaava basaba Piraato abaakomererwa bamenyebwe amagulu era bawanulweyo.
The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
32 Awo abaserikale ne bajja ne bamenya amagulu g’abasajja abaakomererwa ne Yesu.
The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him:
33 Naye bwe batuuka ku Yesu ne balaba nga yafudde dda, ne batamumenya magulu.
but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 Naye omu ku baserikale n’amufumita effumu mu mbiriizi, amangwago ne muvaamu omusaayi n’amazzi.
howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.
35 Oyo eyakirabira ddala nga kibaawo ye yakyogera, era kye yayogera kya mazima, era oyo amanyi ng’ayogera mazima mulyoke mukkirize.
And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.
36 Bino byabaawo ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire ekigamba nti: “Talimenyebwa gumba na limu.”
For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 Era ekyawandiikibwa ekirala kigamba nti, “Balimulaba oyo gwe baafumita.”
And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 Ebyo bwe byaggwa, Yusufu ow’e Alimasaya, eyali omuyigirizwa wa Yesu mu kyama olw’okutya Abayudaaya, n’asaba Piraato olukusa okuwanulayo omulambo gwa Yesu, Piraato n’amukkiriza. Yusufu n’aguwanulayo n’agutwala.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.
39 Nikodemo, eddako eyagenda eri Yesu ekiro, naye n’ajja ng’aleese kilo ng’amakumi ataano ez’ebyakoloosa ebitabule n’envumbo.
And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].
40 Ne batwala omulambo gwa Yesu, ne baguzinga mu ngoye eza linena wamu n’ebyakaloosa ng’empisa y’Abayudaaya ey’okuziika bwe yali.
So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
41 Mu kifo Yesu we yakomererwa waaliwo ennimiro omwali entaana empya ey’empuku, eyali teziikibwangamu muntu.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid.
42 Nga bwe lwali olunaku lw’Abayudaaya olw’okweteekerateekera Ssabbiiti ate ng’entaana eno eri kumpi, Yesu ne bamussa omwo.
There then because of the Jews’ Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.
