Mak 15
1 Mach ave, uiv ŋakaz wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd, wɨram untɨm ohɨra kɨra Judand, wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd, mach aiyopand emŋgemŋga hamen hanave awakŋi Jisasɨndɨv ya orɨmŋgɨmar. Ya orɨmŋgɨz mach raz Jisasɨh vɨhe omanaka uŋkɨri hɨrohe Pailatɨnd oman insɨŋ ŋgamŋgɨmar.
As soon as it was daylight, the Chief Priests, after holding a consultation with the Councillors and Teachers of the Law — that is to say, the whole High Council — put Jesus in chains, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.
2 Ŋgamŋgɨz Pailatɨv Jisasɨh amarɨmar. Nan wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand oh a amar. Az ndɨn kamar. Amon ndɨh kan amar.
“Are you the King of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “It is true,” replied Jesus.
3 Mach, wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd hamb Jisasɨndɨv kamŋgɨmar. Mbɨ enta kɨvah kɨvah ranj arɨmŋgɨmar.
Then the Chief Priests brought a number of charges against him;
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.
upon which Pilate questioned Jesus again. “Have you no reply to make?” he asked. “Listen, how many charges they are bringing against you.”
5 Az nend. Jisasɨv ya emŋgaŋg evoke mɨkam. Avɨz Pailatɨv njɨhi osapɨr njɨhakɨramamar.
But Jesus still made no reply whatever; at which Pilate was astonished.
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.
Now, at the Feast, Pilate used to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might ask for.
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.
A man called Barabbas was in prison, with the rioters who had committed murder during a riot.
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.
So, when the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate to follow his usual custom,
9 Avɨz Pailatɨv ndɨh wamar. Wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd hamb wamŋgɨz osa anchɨ hamb Jisasɨndɨvam njɨhamŋgɨmar. Handɨv anɨŋnsar kɨra hamb ndɨn ŋe Pailatɨnd oman insɨŋ ŋgamŋgɨmar. Avɨz Pailatɨv osa anchɨ han amarɨmar. Amɨ nzɨhanave njɨhamŋgɨn amar. Andɨŋndɨv wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand han enduwaŋ ahevaindɨv njɨhamŋgɨn oh a amar.
he answered: “Do you want me to release the ‘King of the Jews’ for you?”
For he was aware that it was out of jealousy that the Chief Priests had given Jesus up to him.
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 incited the crowd to get Barabbas released instead.
12 Hanave kamŋgɨz Pailatɨv ndɨŋ ekwaŋg amarɨmar. Nzɨ wɨram mban amɨ ndɨn wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand arar kamŋgɨn han utɨzɨndarin amar.
Pilate, however, spoke to them again: “What shall I do then with the man whom you call the ‘King of the Jews’?”
13 Az mbɨ aware kamŋgɨmar. Ndɨn ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzuv arɨmŋgɨmar.
Again they shouted: “Crucify him!”
14 Avɨz Pailatɨv ndɨŋ amarɨmar. Mbɨ utɨman enta kɨvah si amar. Avɨz mbɨ ohɨra kɨvah aware kamŋgɨmar. Ndɨn ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzuv arɨmŋgɨmar.
“Why, what harm has he done?” Pilate kept saying to them. But they shouted furiously: “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.
And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and, after scourging Jesus, gave him up to be crucified.
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 then took Jesus away into the court-yard — that is the Government House — and they called the whole garrison together.
17 Ai yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr opaŋg han ŋe ndɨnɨŋ ŋgamɨmar. Mbɨ kɨrɨpahensɨnd hanez ŋe uŋkɨsarkɨr anɨŋnsar ohɨrand emamp ondɨhe Jisasɨnd zɨ handɨh ŋgamŋgɨmar.
They dressed him in a purple robe, and, having twisted a crown of thorns, put it on him,
18 Ave mbɨ ndɨnɨh yarahe kamŋgɨmar. Rapɨrɨnd anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Judand arɨmŋgɨmar.
and then began to salute him. “Long life to you, King of the Jews!” they said.
19 Ave mbɨ karpa han ŋe zɨ mbɨkɨr han oror ndɨn mpɨñ atazɨpazivɨmŋgɨmar. Mach, mbɨ andamesa mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwɨŋgw waroreŋge ndɨn ensa ŋambiahah ramŋgɨmar.
And they kept striking him on the head with a rod, spitting at him, and bowing to the ground before him — going down on their knees;
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.
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the purple robe, and put his own clothes on him.
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.
And they led Jesus out to crucify him; and they compelled a passer-by, Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them to carry his cross.
22 Az mbɨ Jisasɨh isupɨr Golgota handɨh hɨromŋgɨmar. Isupɨrɨnd ensa kehand ondo han mbanave, unsɨŋ nsarɨnd.
They brought Jesus to the place which was known as Golgotha — a name which means ‘Place of a Skull.’
23 Mbɨ kɨrɨpa nor yamb han ai upɨr yamb mbɨkɨr ensa mɨr hansɨnd ŋe itɨmai Jisas eŋgwamŋgɨmar. Kɨrɨm mbɨ mɨnam.
There they offered him drugged wine; but Jesus refused 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.
Then they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots for them, to settle what each should take.
25 Mach, rapɨraŋk ensa ohɨrand kwɨ mband haŋ ndɨnɨh ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar.
It was nine 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.
The words of the charge against him, written up over his head, ran thus — ‘THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
27 Mbɨ wɨram undɨmaj akɨmɨnd han Jisasɨnsɨnd ai oŋkɨrandɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar. Emŋga Jisasɨnd oman mɨŋɨndɨŋ, emŋga oman ovejɨndɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar.
And with him they crucified two robbers, one on the right, and the other on the left.
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 passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads, as they said: “Ah! you who would destroy the Temple and build one in three days,
30 Amonaŋg hɨrawi ai oŋkɨrand han erere ŋgaŋkwav arɨmŋgɨmar.
come down from the cross and save yourself!”
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.
In the same way the Chief Priests, with the Teachers of the Law, said to one another in mockery:
32 Ndɨn wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrav mbɨkɨr osa anchɨ ŋɨmbɨmbɨndɨv uyɨŋgwamɨmar hamb mach wɨram anɨŋnsar ohɨra osa anchɨ Israelɨnd kehamb arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ eran ai oŋkɨrand han erere ŋgaŋkwaz, han we ndɨndɨv njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhamɨm arɨmŋgɨmar. Hanave kamŋgɨz wɨram akɨmɨnd undɨmaj ndɨn pɨŋ orɨkavɨzumŋgɨmar hambez hanaveonaŋg Jisasɨh yarahamŋgɨmar.
“He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the ‘King of Israel,’ come down from the cross now, that we may see it and believe.” Even the men who had been crucified with Jesus reviled him.
33 Mach, andar pach haŋ zuh re ñi nanempand haŋ rapɨraŋk undɨmapam ñɨzand rapɨrɨv ekwaŋg kɨramar.
At midday, a darkness came over the whole country, lasting till three 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.
And, at three, Jesus called out loudly: ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?’” which means ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’
35 Avɨz wɨram emŋgemŋga hamb ikwɨm aŋkwañɨhɨri ya han njɨhame kamŋgɨmar. Wavar arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ Elaija oreŋgeŋgɨmbɨri arɨmŋgɨmar.
Some of those standing round heard this, and said: “Listen! He is calling for 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.
And a man ran, and, soaking a sponge in common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink, saying as he did so: “Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.”
37 Mach ave, Jisasɨv kwa aware mamta mamar.
But Jesus, giving a loud cry, expired.
38 Mbɨ maz imɨn ohɨra Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai ohɨra oram unchaŋ ñɨmar kehamb zɨndɨŋon unchɨrahe andamɨndɨŋon hɨrɨŋgwavohe tɨm undɨmaj ñɨmar.
The Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 Mach, wɨram anɨŋnsar aŋkwɨnd kehamb ikwɨm aŋkwañi Jisasɨv mamar han we kamar. Mɨŋun amar. Wɨram mban Yakŋ Ohɨrand Nor amar.
The Roman Officer, who was standing facing Jesus, on seeing the way in which he expired, exclaimed: “This man must indeed have been ‘God’s Son’!”
40 Anchɨ kɨra hamb mbez taŋɨpɨr kansɨnd aŋkwañi wehɨrɨmŋgɨmar. Emŋga Maria aiampɨra Makdaland. Emŋga Maria Josepɨnd mɨŋɨr, mach Josepɨnd ranɨr Jemsɨnd mɨŋɨr. Jemsɨh wɨram norŋɨr. Emŋga Salome.
There were some women also watching from a distance, among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joseph, and Salome —
41 Eŋambɨr haŋ, Jisasɨv Galili handɨh ñɨzand anchɨ kɨra mbanamb mpehɨrohe ndɨn hɨrawɨmŋganj. Anchɨ kɨra emŋgemŋga hamb Jisasmen Jerusalemɨŋ aimŋgɨmar hambez aŋkwañi wehɨrɨmŋgɨmar.
all of whom used to accompany Jesus when he was in Galilee, and attend on him — besides many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.
42 Mach ave, Josep aiampɨra Arimateand hamb Jerusalemɨŋ ñanj. Ndɨnɨh wɨram aiyopand emŋga. Osa anchɨ hamb wamŋgɨz mbɨkɨr ensa ohɨra ñɨmar.

Mach, nanempand raz Yakŋ Ohɨrand Yuŋk Wɨr Ñɨñɨnd hamb ikwɨm ivɨz, handɨv osa anchɨ hanɨhan han omanenta sɨmŋgɨmar.

Nzɨ eran Jisasɨnd ikwɨra han ŋe hɨrohe nsɨham mɨnɨŋ ŋgamɨŋ amar.
The evening had already fallen, when, as it was the Preparation Day — the day before the Sabbath —
Joseph from Ramah, a Councillor of good position, who was himself living in expectation of the Kingdom of God, came and ventured to go in to see Pilate, and to ask for the body of Jesus.
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.
But Pilate was surprised to hear that he had already died. So he sent for the Officer, and asked if he were already dead;
45 Amarɨz ndɨh mi az Pailatɨv Josepɨh kamar. We Jisasɨnd ikwɨra han ŋe hɨrohe nsɨham mɨnɨŋ ŋgamb amar.
and, on learning from the Officer that it was so, he gave the corpse to Joseph.
46 Mach avɨz, mbɨ we imɨn okam osapɨr han uŋkɨ eŋgwe hɨrohe Jisasɨnd ikwɨra han ŋe hɨrɨŋkai imɨn okam haŋ vɨhamar. Vɨhe hɨrohe nsɨham mɨn awamŋgɨmar handɨh ŋgamŋgɨmar. Ŋgame nsɨham ohɨra ondɨhondɨh han enarɨz ai mɨn han inchakarɨmŋgɨmar.
Joseph, having bought a linen sheet, took Jesus down, and wound the sheet round him, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock; and then rolled a stone up against the entrance of the tomb.
47 Maria aiampɨra Makdaland Maria Josepɨnd mɨŋɨr, mbɨ hanave wehɨrehɨr ñi sam Jisas ŋgamŋgɨmar han wamŋgɨmar.
Mary of Magdala and Mary, the mother of Joseph, were watching to see where he was laid.
