Yohane 19
1 Pilato ma wɔbɔɔ Yesu mmaa.
Then Pilate took Jesus and whipped him.
2 Asraafo no de nsɔe nwenee ahenkyɛw hyɛɛ Yesu; afei, wɔde atade kɔkɔɔ nso hyɛɛ no.
The soldiers weaved a crown of thorns. They put it on the head of Jesus and dressed him with a purple garment.
3 Wodii ne ho fɛw, bobɔɔ nʼani so kae se, “Yudafo hene, wo nkwa so!”
They came to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they struck him.
4 Pilato fii adi kɔka kyerɛɛ dɔm no bio se, “Mɛsan de no abrɛ mo ama moahu sɛ minni asɛm biara a megyina so abu no fɔ.”
Then Pilate went outside again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him outside to you so that you will know that I find no guilt in him.”
5 Bere a Yesu fii adi bae no, na ɔhyɛ ahenkyɛw a wɔde nsɔe anwen ne atade kɔkɔɔ. Pilato ka kyerɛɛ dɔm no se, “Onipa no ni!”
So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Look, here is the man!”
6 Bere a asɔfo mpanyin ne mpanyimfo no huu Yesu no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Bɔ no asennua mu! Bɔ no asennua mu!” Pilato ka kyerɛ wɔn se, “Mo ankasa momfa no nkɔ nkɔbɔ no asennua mu, efisɛ minni asɛm biara a megyina so abu no fɔ.”
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw Jesus, they cried out and said, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.”
7 Yudafo no buae se, “Yɛwɔ mmara a ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ owu, efisɛ ɔkae se ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba.”
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he has to die because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
8 Bere a Pilato tee asɛm a wɔkae no, ɔbɔɔ hu yiye.
When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
9 Ɔsan kɔɔ ahemfi hɔ kobisaa Yesu se, “Ɛhe na wufi?” Nanso Yesu ammua no.
and he entered the government headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilato bisaa no se, “Woremmua me ana? Ɛsɛ sɛ wuhu sɛ mewɔ tumi sɛ migyaa wo na mewɔ tumi nso sɛ mema wɔbɔ wo asennua mu!”
Then Pilate said to him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?”
11 Yesu buaa no se, “Sɛ Onyankopɔn amfa saa tumi no amma wo a anka wunni me so tumi biara. Enti onipa a ɔde me brɛɛ wo no na wayɛ bɔne a ɛso.”
Jesus answered him, “You do not have any power over me except for what has been given to you from above. Therefore, he who gave me over to you has a greater sin.”
12 Bere a Pilato tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, ɔhwehwɛɛ ɔkwan bi a ɔbɛfa so agyaa no. Nanso Yudafo no teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Sɛ wugyaa no a na wonyɛ Kaesare adamfo! Obiara a ɔyɛ ne ho ɔhene no tia Kaesare!”
At this answer, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
13 Bere a Pilato tee asɛm a Yudafo no kae no, ɔde Yesu fii adi na ɔbɛtenaa nʼatemmu agua so wɔ faako a wɔfrɛ hɔ Abo Nsɛmee, (a Hebri kasa mu no, ɛyɛ “Gabata”).
When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place called “The Pavement,” but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
14 Ade rebɛkye ama Twam Afahyɛ no adu so no, ɛbɛyɛ owigyinae no. Pilato ka kyerɛɛ Yudafo no se, “Mo hene no ni!”
Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, at about the sixth hour. Pilate said to the Jews, “See, here is your king!”
15 Dɔm no nso teɛteɛɛ mu bio se, “Fa no kɔ! Bɔ no asennua mu!” Pilato bisaa wɔn se, “Mopɛ sɛ mebɔ mo hene no asennua mu ana?” Asɔfo mpanyin no kae se, “Yɛn hene a yɛwɔ ara ne Kaesare!”
They cried out, “Away with him, away with him; crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”
16 Afei Pilato de Yesu maa Yudafo no sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ no asennua mu.
Then Pilate gave Jesus over to them to be crucified.
17 Enti wɔde Yesu a nʼasennua da ne kɔn ho no kɔɔ kurow no mfikyiri baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ “Nitiri So”, a Hebri kasa mu ɛyɛ “Golgota”.
Then they took Jesus, and he went out, carrying the cross for himself, to the place called “The Place of a Skull,” which in Hebrew is called “Golgotha.”
18 Ɛhɔ na wɔbɔɔ Yesu asennua mu. Wɔbɔɔ nnipa baanu bi nso asennua mu kaa ne ho. Na ɔbaako sɛn ne benkum so na ɔbaako nso sɛn ne nifa so a Yesu sɛn wɔn mfimfini.
They crucified Jesus there, and with him two other men, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilato kyerɛw se, Yesu Nasareni, Yudafo Hene de taree nʼasennua no atifi.
Pilate also wrote a sign and put it on the cross. There it was written: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Esiane sɛ faako a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asennua mu ne kurow no mu kwan nware, na bio wɔakyerɛw nsɛm no wɔ Hebri, Roma ne Hela kasa mu no nti, nnipa bebree hu kenkanee.
Many of the Jews read this sign because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. The sign was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
21 Yudafo asɔfo mpanyin no ka kyerɛɛ Pilato se, “Nkyerɛw se, ‘Yudafo hene’ na mmom kyerɛw se, ‘Saa ɔbarima yi na ɔkaa se mene Yudafo hene!’”
Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but rather, 'This one said, “I am King of the Jews.”'”
22 Pilato kae se, “Nea makyerɛw no, makyerɛw.”
Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”
23 Asraafo no bɔɔ Yesu asennua mu wiei no, wɔkyɛɛ ne ntade mu maa asraafo baanan no. Na saa atade no yɛ atade bi a wɔanwen fi ne soro kosi ne fam a enni mpamee.
When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, divided them into four shares, one for each of them; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
24 Asraafo no nyinaa kae se, “Mommma yɛnntetew mu. Momma yɛmmɔ so ntonto na yenhu onipa a obenya.” Ade a wɔyɛɛ yi sii, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kyerɛwsɛm a ɛka se, “Wɔkyekyɛɛ me ntama mu, bɔɔ mʼatade so ntonto fae” no bɛba mu. Nea asraafo no yɛe ne no.
Then they said to each other, “Let us not tear it, but instead let us cast lots for it to decide whose it will be.” This happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled which said, “They divided my garments among themselves and cast lots for my clothing.” This is what the soldiers did.
25 Nnipa a na wogyina Yesu asennua no ho pɛɛ no ne ne na, ne na nuabea, Maria a ɔyɛ Kleopa yere ne Maria Magdalene.
Now standing beside Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Yesu huu ne na ne osuani a ɔdɔ no no sɛ wogyina hɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne na se, “Ɔbea, wo ba ni.”
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, see, your son!”
27 Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ osuani no se, “Wo na ni.” Efi saa bere no, osuani no faa no ne no kɔtenae.
Then he said to the disciple, “See, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28 Saa bere no Yesu huu sɛ afei de, biribiara aba nʼawie, na sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kyerɛwsɛm no bɛba mu no nti, ɔkae se, “Osukɔm de me.”
After this, knowing that everything was now completed and so that the scriptures would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
29 Wɔde sapɔw a etua adwerɛ ano bɔɔ nsa a emu keka mu de kaa nʼano.
A container full of sour wine was placed there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop staff and lifted it up to his mouth.
30 Yesu nom wiei no, ɔkae se, “Mawie!” Ɔkaa eyi wiee no, osii ne ti ase na ogyaa ne honhom mu.
When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Na da no yɛ ahosiesie da, na Yudafo mpanyimfo no mpɛ sɛ wɔma amu no sensɛn asennua no so kosi nʼadekyee a wobedi Twam Afahyɛ no. Enti wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Pilato se wɔpɛ sɛ wobubu nnipa no anan sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobetumi ayiyi wɔn amu no afi asennua no so.
Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was especially important), asked Pilate to break their legs and to remove them.
32 Asraafo no kobubuu ɔbarima a odi kan a ɔka nnipa baanu a wɔbɔɔ wɔne Yesu asennua mu ho no anan; wowiei no, wokobubuu ɔbarima a ɔto so abien no nso anan.
Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the second man who had been crucified with Jesus.
33 Nanso woduu Yesu so no wohuu sɛ ɔno de, na wawu dedaw enti wɔammu ne nan bi.
When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs.
34 Asraafo no mu baako de ne peaw wɔɔ ne mfe maa mogyasufi fii ne mfe mu bae.
However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 Onipa a ohuu nea esii no na wadi ho adanse. Nʼadanse no yɛ nokware, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo nso mubegye adi.
The one who saw this has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that what he said is true so that you would also believe.
36 Eyinom nyinaa sii sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kyerɛwsɛm a ɛka se, “Wɔremmu ne dompe bi”
For these things happened in order to fulfill scripture, “Not one of his bones will be broken.”
37 ne “Nnipa bɛhwɛ nea wɔwɔɔ ne mfe mu peaw” no bɛba mu.
Again, another scripture says, “They will look at him whom they pierced.”
38 Eyi akyi no, Yosef a ofi Arimatea a esiane Yudafo ho hu nti, na ɔyɛ Yesu suani wɔ kokoa mu no kɔsrɛɛ Pilato sɛ ɔmma no kwan na onkoyi Yesu amu no. Pilato penee nʼadesrɛ no so. Ɛno nti okoyii Yesu amu no.
After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, since he was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate if he could take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So Joseph came and took away his body.
39 Nikodemo a da bi anadwo ɔkɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn no nso de kurobow ne aduhuam mfrafrae a emu duru bɛyɛ kilogram aduasa abiɛsa bae.
Nicodemus also came, he who at first had come to Jesus by night. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred litras in weight.
40 Wɔn baanu no de nwera ne aduhuam mfrafrae no kyekyeree Yesu amu no sɛnea Yudafo kwan a wɔfa so sie wɔn amu no te no.
So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, as was the custom of the Jews to bury bodies.
41 Na ɔboda foforo bi a wonsiee obi wɔ mu da wɔ turo bi a ɛbɛn baabi a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asennua mu no.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden was a new tomb in which no person had yet been buried.
42 Esiane sɛ na saa ɔboda no bɛn no nti, wosiee Yesu amu no wɔ hɔ.
Because it was the day of preparation for the Jews and because the tomb was close by, they laid Jesus in it.
