Yohane 19
1 Pilato ma wɔbɔɔ Yesu mmaa.
Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
2 Asraafoɔ no de nkasɛɛ nwonoo ahenkyɛ de hyɛɛ Yesu; afei, wɔde atadeɛ kɔkɔɔ nso hyɛɛ no.
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and put on him a purple robe, and approached him
3 Wɔdii ne ho fɛw, bobɔɔ no asotorɔ, kaa sɛ, “Yudafoɔ ɔhene, wo nkwa so!”
and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and they gave him blows on the face.
4 Pilato firii adi kɔka kyerɛɛ ɛdɔm no bio sɛ, “Mɛsane de no abrɛ mo ama moahunu sɛ menni asɛm biara a mɛgyina so abu no fɔ.”
Again Pilate went forth, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find nothing criminal in him.
5 Ɛberɛ a Yesu firii adi baeɛ no, na ɔhyɛ ahenkyɛ a wɔde nkasɛɛ anwono ne atadeɛ kɔkɔɔ. Pilato ka kyerɛɛ dɔm no sɛ, “Onipa no ni!”
Jesus therefore came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [[Pilate]] saith to them, Behold the man!
6 Ɛberɛ a asɔfoɔ mpanin ne awɛmfoɔ no hunuu Yesu no, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Bɔ no asɛnnua mu! Bɔ no asɛnnua mu!” Pilato ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo ara ankasa momfa no nkɔ nkɔbɔ no asɛnnua mu, ɛfiri sɛ, menni asɛm biara a mɛgyina so abu no fɔ.”
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! crucify! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for I find nothing criminal in him.
7 Yudafoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Yɛwɔ mmara a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔwu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkaa sɛ, ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba.”
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 Ɛberɛ a Pilato tee asɛm a wɔkaeɛ no, ɔbɔɔ hu yie.
When Pilate therefore heard this, he was the more afraid;
9 Ɔsane kɔɔ ahemfie hɔ kɔbisaa Yesu sɛ, “Ɛhe na wofiri?” Nanso Yesu ammua no.
and went again into the palace, and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilato bisaa no sɛ, “Woremmua me anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ wohunu sɛ, mewɔ tumi sɛ megyaa wo na mewɔ tumi nso sɛ mema wɔbɔ wo asɛnnua mu!”
Pilate saith to him, Dost thou not speak to me? Dost thou not know that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?
11 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Sɛ Onyankopɔn amfa saa tumi no amma wo a, anka wonni me so tumi biara. Enti onipa a ɔde me brɛɛ wo no na wayɛ bɔne a ɛso.”
Jesus answered, Thou wouldst have no power against me, unless it had been given thee from above; for this cause he that delivered me up to thee hath the greater sin.
12 Ɛberɛ a Pilato tee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no, ɔhwehwɛɛ ɛkwan bi a ɔbɛfa so agyaa no. Nanso, Yudafoɔ no teateaam sɛ, “Sɛ wogyaa no a, na wonyɛ Kaesare adamfo! Obiara a ɔyɛ ne ho ɔhene no tia Kaesare!”
From this time Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Caesar. Every one that maketh himself a king, setteth himself against Caesar.
13 Ɛberɛ a Pilato tee asɛm a Yudafoɔ no kaeɛ no, ɔde Yesu firii adi na ɔbɛtenaa nʼatemmuo adwa so wɔ faako a wɔfrɛ hɔ Aboɔ Nsɛmeeɛ, a Hebri kasa mu, ɛyɛ “Gabata.”
When therefore Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Adeɛ rebɛkye ama Twam Afahyɛ no aduru so no, ɛbɛyɛ owigyinaeɛ no. Pilato ka kyerɛɛ Yudafoɔ no sɛ, “Mo ɔhene no ni!”
Now it was the preparation of the passover. It was about the sixth hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king!
15 Ɛdɔm no nso teateaa mu bio sɛ, “Fa no kɔ! Bɔ no asɛnnua mu!” Pilato bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mopɛ sɛ mebɔ mo ɔhene no asɛnnua mu anaa?” Asɔfoɔ mpanin no kaa sɛ, “Yɛn ɔhene a yɛwɔ ara ne Kaesare!”
Upon this they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Afei, Pilato de Yesu maa Yudafoɔ no sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ no asɛnnua mu.
Then therefore he delivered him up to them to be crucified. They therefore took Jesus;
17 Enti, wɔde Yesu a nʼasɛnnua da ne kɔn ho no kɔɔ kuro no mfikyire baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ “Nitire So” hɔ, a Hebri kasa mu ɛyɛ “Golgota.”
and bearing his own cross, he went forth into the place called Place of a Skull; in Hebrew, Golgotha;
18 Ɛhɔ na wɔbɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu. Wɔbɔɔ nnipa baanu bi nso asɛnnua mu kaa ne ho. Na ɔbaako sɛn ne benkum so ɛnna ɔbaako nso sɛn ne nifa so a Yesu sɛn wɔn mfimfini.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.
19 Pilato twerɛɛ sɛ: Yesu Nasareni, Yudafoɔ Ɔhene maa wɔde taree nʼasɛnnua no atifi.
And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”
20 Esiane sɛ faako a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu ne kuro no mu ɛkwan nware, na bio wɔatwerɛ nsɛm no wɔ Hebri, Roma ne Hela kasa mu no enti, nnipa bebree hunu kenkaneeɛ.
This inscription therefore was read by many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Yudafoɔ asɔfoɔ mpanin no ka kyerɛɛ Pilato sɛ, “Ntwerɛ sɛ, ‘Yudafoɔ ɔhene’ na mmom twerɛ sɛ, ‘Saa ɔbarima yi na ɔkaa sɛ, mene Yudafoɔ ɔhene!’”
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The king of the Jews; but that he said, I am king of the Jews.
22 Pilato kaa sɛ, “Deɛ matwerɛ no, matwerɛ.”
Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
23 Asraafoɔ no bɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu wieeɛ no, wɔkyɛɛ ne ntadeɛ mu maa asraafoɔ ɛnan no. Na saa atadeɛ no yɛ atadeɛ bi a, wɔanwono firi ne ɔsoro kɔsi ne fam a ɛnni mpameeɛ.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 Asraafoɔ no nyinaa kaa sɛ, “Mommma yɛnntete mu. Momma yɛmmɔ so ntonto na yɛnhunu onipa a ɔbɛnya.” Adeɛ a wɔyɛeɛ yi sii sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Atwerɛsɛm a ɛka sɛ, “Wɔkyekyɛɛ me ntadeɛ mu, bɔɔ so ntonto faeɛ” no bɛba mu. Deɛ asraafoɔ no yɛeɛ ne no.
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled: “They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.” These things the soldiers did.
25 Nnipa a na wɔgyina Yesu asɛnnua no ho pɛɛ no ne ne maame, ne maame nuabaa, Maria, a ɔyɛ Kleopa yere ne Maria Magdalene.
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene.
26 Yesu hunuu ne maame ne osuani a ɔdɔ no no sɛ wɔgyina hɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne maame sɛ, “Ɔbaa, wo ba nie.”
Jesus therefore, when he saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ osuani no sɛ, “Wo maame nie.” Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, osuani no faa no ne no kɔtenaeɛ.
Then he saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28 Saa ɛberɛ no, Yesu hunuiɛ sɛ afei deɛ biribiara aba nʼawieeɛ, na sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Atwerɛsɛm no bɛba mu no enti, ɔkaa sɛ, “Osukɔm de me.”
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.
29 Wɔde sapɔ a ɛtua hisope ano bɔɔ nsã a emu keka mu de kaa nʼano.
A vessel was brought full of vinegar; and putting a sponge filled with vinegar upon a stalk of hyssop, they raised it to his mouth.
30 Yesu nom wieeɛ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Mawie!” Ɔkaa yei wieeɛ no, ɔsii ne ti ase na ɔgyaee ne honhom mu.
When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and he bowed his head, and yielded up his spirit.
31 Na da no yɛ ahosiesie da, na Yudafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no mpɛ sɛ wɔma amu no sensɛn asɛnnua no so kɔsi nʼadekyeeɛ a wɔbɛdi Twam Afahyɛ no. Enti, wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Pilato sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wɔbubu nnipa no nan sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛtumi ayiyi wɔn amu no afiri asɛnnua no so.
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Asraafoɔ no kɔbubuu ɔbarima a ɔdi ɛkan a ɔka nnipa baanu a wɔbɔɔ wɔne Yesu asɛnnua mu ho no nan; wɔwieeɛ no, wɔkɔbubuu ɔbarima a ɔtɔ so mmienu no nso nan.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.
33 Nanso wɔduruu Yesu so no, wɔhunuu sɛ ɔno deɛ, na wawu dada enti wɔammubu ne nan bi.
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they broke not his legs;
34 Asraafoɔ no mu baako de ne pea wɔɔ ne mfe maa mogyasufi firi ne mfe mu baeɛ.
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
35 Onipa a ɔhunuu deɛ ɛsiiɛ no na wadi ho adanseɛ. Nʼadanseɛ no yɛ nokorɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo nso mobɛgye adi.
And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knoweth that he saith what is true, that ye also may believe.
36 Yeinom nyinaa sii sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Atwerɛsɛm a ɛka sɛ, “Wɔremmu ne dompe bi”
For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him shall not be broken.”
37 ne “Nnipa bɛhwɛ deɛ wɔwɔɔ ne mfe mu pea” no bɛba mu.
And again another scripture saith, “They shall look on him whom they pierced.”
38 Yei akyi no, Yosef a ɔfiri Arimatea a ɛsiane Yudafoɔ ho hu enti, na ɔyɛ Yesu suani wɔ kɔkoam no kɔsrɛɛ Pilato sɛ ɔmma no ɛkwan na ɔnkɔyi Yesu amu no. Pilato penee nʼadesrɛ no so. Ɛno enti, ɔkɔyii Yesu amu no.
And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealing it for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. They came therefore and took him away.
39 Nikodemo a da bi anadwo ɔkɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn no nso de kurobo ne aduhwam mfrafraeɛ a emu duru bɛyɛ kilogram aduasa mmiɛnsa baeɛ.
Nicodemus also, he who at the first went to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
40 Wɔn baanu no de nwera ne aduhwam mfrafraeɛ no kyekyeree Yesu amu no sɛdeɛ Yudafoɔ ɛkwan a wɔfa so sie wɔn amu no teɛ no.
Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews in preparing for burial.
41 Na ɔboda foforɔ bi a wɔnsiee obi wɔ mu da wɔ turo bi a ɛbɛn baabi a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu no.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Esiane sɛ na saa ɔboda no bɛn no enti, wɔsiee Yesu amu no wɔ hɔ.
There then, on account of the Jews' preparation-day, they laid Jesus; for the tomb was at hand.
