Ya orɨmŋgɨz mach raz Jisasɨh vɨhe omanaka uŋkɨri hɨrohe Pailatɨnd oman insɨŋ ŋgamŋgɨmar.
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 Ŋgamŋgɨz Pailatɨv Jisasɨh amarɨmar. Nan wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand oh a amar. Az ndɨn kamar. Amon ndɨh kan amar.
Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
3 Mach, wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd hamb Jisasɨndɨv kamŋgɨmar. Mbɨ enta kɨvah kɨvah ranj arɨmŋgɨmar.
Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
4 Avɨz Pailatɨv ndɨn ekwaŋg amarɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv ya kamah ran amar. Amɨ enta kɨvah kɨvah rarɨn arar kamŋgi han, ndɨh njɨhamɨnaŋg oh a amar.
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 Az nend. Jisasɨv ya emŋgaŋg evoke mɨkam. Avɨz Pailatɨv njɨhi osapɨr njɨhakɨramamar.
But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
6 Mach, war pamuh pamuh yuŋk ohɨra mɨroma unsa nand hamb ahevakarɨz Pailatɨv wɨram pamuh rar oram kɨvahɨnd han enduwazand ahevetaimŋganj. Osa anchɨv wɨramɨnd ensa oreŋgɨmŋgɨz Pailatɨv njɨhame enduwazand wɨram hamb ahevaianj.
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 Mach, eŋambɨr haŋ wɨram hanaveaŋg gavmanmen erampe wɨram mamta orempɨramŋgɨmar. Orempɨramŋgɨz irɨvɨnd hamb wɨram han ŋɨmbi kɨravɨhe oram kɨvahɨŋ inchakarɨmŋgɨz ñɨmŋgɨmar. Wɨram era mpambɨnd han mbɨndɨŋ emŋga mbɨkɨr ensa han Barabas.
[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 Mach, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb aharai Pailatɨh amare kamŋgɨmar. Amɨ war eŋambɨr enta randɨn hanaveaŋg arɨŋɨndɨv war mbanaŋ randɨran oh o nend oh arɨmŋgɨmar.
A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
9 Avɨz Pailatɨv ndɨh wamar. Wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd hamb wamŋgɨz osa anchɨ hamb Jisasɨndɨvam njɨhamŋgɨmar.

Andɨŋndɨv wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand han enduwaŋ ahevaindɨv njɨhamŋgɨn oh a amar.
Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
[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 Kɨrɨm wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd hamb osa anchɨ han kamŋgɨz mpɨ mbɨndɨŋ hamb ŋaiahaz Pailatɨh kamŋgɨmar. Arɨŋɨndɨv Barabasŋam enduwan ahevaiz arɨmŋgɨmar.
But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
12 Hanave kamŋgɨz Pailatɨv ndɨŋ ekwaŋg amarɨmar. Nzɨ wɨram mban amɨ ndɨn wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand arar kamŋgɨn han utɨzɨndarin amar.
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 Az mbɨ aware kamŋgɨmar. Ndɨn ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzuv arɨmŋgɨmar.
Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
14 Avɨz Pailatɨv ndɨŋ amarɨmar. Mbɨ utɨman enta kɨvah si amar. Avɨz mbɨ ohɨra kɨvah aware kamŋgɨmar. Ndɨn ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzuv arɨmŋgɨmar.
Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
15 Mach, Pailatɨv osa anchɨ hamb imbɨr ñɨmŋgɨz are oram kɨvahɨnd han enduwaz Barabasɨv ahevaimar. Avɨz Pailatɨv kaz mbɨkɨr aŋkwɨnd hamb kɨrɨpa aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe Jisas ore kɨramŋgɨmar. Orɨmŋgɨz mach raz Pailatɨv Jisasɨh ŋe irɨvɨndɨnd oman insɨŋ ŋgame kamar. Ndɨn hɨrohe ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzuvar amar.
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 Mach, irɨvɨnd hamb ndɨn oman uŋkɨri hɨrohe oram gavmand imbɨz mbɨkɨr ensa Pretorium unchaŋ hɨrahevomŋgɨmar. Ndɨn hɨrahevohe irɨvɨnd emŋgemŋga han oreŋgɨmŋgɨz aimŋgɨmar.
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 Ai yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr opaŋg han ŋe ndɨnɨŋ ŋgamɨmar. Mbɨ kɨrɨpahensɨnd hanez ŋe uŋkɨsarkɨr anɨŋnsar ohɨrand emamp ondɨhe Jisasɨnd zɨ handɨh ŋgamŋgɨmar.
[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 Ave mbɨ ndɨnɨh yarahe kamŋgɨmar. Rapɨrɨnd anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand arɨmŋgɨmar.
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 Ave mbɨ karpa han ŋe zɨ mbɨkɨr han oror ndɨn mpɨñ atazɨpazivɨmŋgɨmar. Mach, mbɨ andamesa mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwɨŋgw waroreŋge ndɨn ensa ŋambiahah ramŋgɨmar.
They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
20 Ave mach, mbɨ hanave yarahoparahamŋgɨz mach raz yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr opaŋg han ŋapai yupɨr hɨrahɨr akŋ mbɨkɨrun han ndɨnɨŋon ekwaŋg ŋgamŋgɨmar. Ŋgame ndɨn ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzuŋɨn are oman uŋkɨri hɨromŋgɨmar.
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 Mach, wɨram emŋga mbɨkɨr ensa han Saimon, aiampɨra ohɨra mbɨkɨr Sairini. Ndɨn Aleksanderɨnd Rufusɨnd wanɨr. Mbɨ antaŋ ñi aiampɨra ohɨraŋ oŋɨn are ai ndɨŋ kivɨŋɨn azand aŋkwɨnd hamb ndɨn ŋe hɨrai Jisasɨnd ai oŋkɨrand han eŋgwamŋgɨz orambimar.
[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 Az mbɨ Jisasɨh isupɨr Golgota handɨh hɨromŋgɨmar. Isupɨrɨnd ensa kehand ondo han mbanave, unsɨŋ nsarɨnd.
They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
23 Mbɨ kɨrɨpa nor yamb han ai upɨr yamb mbɨkɨr ensa mɨr hansɨnd ŋe itɨmai Jisas eŋgwamŋgɨmar. Kɨrɨm mbɨ mɨnam.
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 Avɨz wɨram kɨra aŋkwɨnd hamb ndɨn ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar. Orɨkavɨzu mbɨkɨr yupɨr hɨrahɨr akŋ han ŋe uñɨmb epari ñi pamuh pamuh ŋaŋɨn are Jisasɨnd yupɨr hɨrahɨr akŋ han atakŋɨŋɨn are ainor akŋ oŋa awɨmŋgɨmar.
[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 Mach, rapɨraŋk ensa ohɨrand kwɨ mband haŋ ndɨnɨh ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar.
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26 Mach, ya ndɨn enta kɨvah ranj arar kamŋgi han ai esaŋ Jisasɨnd zumpɨr insɨ handɨh hanave mpamŋgɨmar. Wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand arar mpamŋgɨmar.
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 Mbɨ wɨram undɨmaj akɨmɨnd han Jisasɨnsɨnd ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar. Emŋga Jisasɨnd oman mɨŋɨndɨŋ, emŋga oman ovejɨndɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar.
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 Avɨz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ai we yarahoparahah nde nsar onarar kamŋgɨmar. Aria arɨmŋgɨmar. Nan wɨram mbanand hamb Yakŋ Ohɨrand oram akore yuŋk undɨmapamɨŋ imbɨr asɨndɨran arɨmŋgɨmar.
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 Amonaŋg hɨrawi ai oŋkɨrand han erere ŋgaŋkwav arɨmŋgɨmar.
[If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
31 Mach, mbɨ kamŋgɨzand wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd mach wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd hanaveonaŋg mbon mbon ndɨn yarahah kamŋgɨmar. Mbɨ wɨram emŋgemŋga han hɨrawɨj arɨmŋgɨmar. Kɨrɨm mbɨ mbon hɨrawaw han nend arɨmŋgɨmar.
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 Ndɨn wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrav mbɨkɨr osa anchɨ ŋɨmbɨmbɨndɨv uyɨŋgwamɨmar hamb mach wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Israelɨnd kehamb arɨmŋgɨmar.

Hanave kamŋgɨz wɨram akɨmɨnd undɨmaj ndɨn pɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar hambez hanaveonaŋg Jisasɨh yarahamŋgɨmar.
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 Mach, andar pach haŋ zuh re ñi nanempand haŋ rapɨraŋk undɨmapam ñɨzand rapɨrɨv ekwaŋg kɨramar.
At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
34 Nanempand rapɨraŋk undɨmapam ñɨzand Jisasɨv aware kamar. Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani amar. Ya mbanand ondo han mbanave, Yakŋ Ohɨra ihɨnd, Yakŋ Ohɨra ihɨnd, yan utɨndɨv ererɨn amar.
At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
35 Avɨz wɨram emŋgemŋga hamb ikwɨm aŋkwañɨhɨri ya han njɨhame kamŋgɨmar. Wavar arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ Elaija oreŋgeŋgɨmbɨri arɨmŋgɨmar.
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 Avɨz wɨram emŋgav aŋɨraŋɨr we imɨnɨsa han ŋe kɨrɨpa nor yamb ntɨkŋ haŋ ŋgwame hɨraimar. Hɨrai imɨnɨsa han aipaŋ vɨhe Jisasɨv naz are ŋambiahe eŋgwamar. Mbɨ ndɨn eŋgwe kamar. Ŋkɨrañɨr weaŋg amar. Elaijav ai ndɨn ŋenduwaz ŋgaŋkwandari oh o nend oh amar.
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 Mach ave, Jisasɨv kwa aware mamta mamar.
And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
38 Mbɨ maz imɨn ohɨra Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai ohɨra oram unchaŋ ñɨmar kehamb zɨndɨŋon unchɨrahe andamɨndɨŋon hɨrɨŋgwavohe tɨm undɨmaj ñɨmar.
[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 Mach, wɨram anɨŋnsar aŋkwɨnd kehamb ikwɨm aŋkwañi Jisasɨv mamar han we kamar. Mɨŋun amar. Wɨram mban Yakŋ Ohɨrand Nor amar.
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!”

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.

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].
44 Avɨz Pailatɨv njɨhamam ñi kamar. Jisasɨv ndɨh mi oh a amar. Ave mbɨ wɨram anɨŋnsar aŋkwɨnd han oreŋgɨz aiz amarɨmar. Jisasɨv ndɨh mi oh o nend amar.
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 Amarɨz ndɨh mi az Pailatɨv Josepɨh kamar. We Jisasɨnd ikwɨra han ŋe hɨrohe nsɨham mɨnɨŋ ŋgamb amar.
When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.

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 Maria aiampɨra Makdaland Maria Josepɨnd mɨŋɨr, mbɨ hanave wehɨrehɨr ñi sam Jisas ŋgamŋgɨmar han wamŋgɨmar.
Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
