John 19
1 Buna Pilatu wubonga Yesu ayi wunzubisa bikoti.
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
2 Masodi matunga budu ki zitsende; matula kiawu va ntu Yesu ayi mamvuika yunga kimbuaki.
And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
3 Mayiza ku kaba ayi mankamba: —Mbotiꞌaku ntinu wu Bayuda! Banzuba zimbata.
and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.
4 Pilatu wubuela totuka diaka ku nganda, wuba kamba: —Tala! Ndieka ku lunatina niandi ku nganda muingi luzaba mboti ti ndikadi mona kadi bila kimosi mu niandi.
And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.
5 Yesu wutotuka ku nganda, wuvuata budu ki zitsende ayi yungakimbuaki. Pilatu wuba kamba: —Tala, mutu beni!
(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!
6 Bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi minsungi mi Nzo Nzambi bu bammona, bayamikina mu kingolo: —Mbandi va dikulusi! Mbanda va dikulusi! Vayi Pilatu wuba kamba: —Lumbonganu beno veka ayi lumbanda va dikulusi bila minu ndikadi mona kadi bila kimosi mu niandi.
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify [him]. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify [him], for I find no fault in him.
7 Bayuda bavutudila Pilatu: —Beto Mina midi yeto ayi landakana mu matedi mina mieto niandi kafueti kaka fua bila wukibiekidi Muana Nzambi.
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.
8 Pilatu bu kawa mambu momo, wuluta mona boma.
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,
9 Wubuela kota ku buangu kioki bansambisilanga batu. —Kuevi wuba e? Vayi yesu kasia vutula kadi diambu dimosi ko.
and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilatu wunkamba: —Ngeyo mengi kundiolukisa e? Kuisi zaba ko ti minu mbeki minsua mu kuyekula voti ku bandisa va dikulusi e?
Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?
11 Yesu wumvutudila: —Kulendi baka lulendo ko mu minu enati Nzambi widi ku Yilu kasi kuvana luawu ko. Diawu mutu wowo wutsumbisidi kuidi ngeyo vodidi masumu ma ngolo.
Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.
12 Tona mu thangu yina, Pilatu wutomba nzila yikafueti kunyekudila vayi Bayuda baluta yamikina: —Enati yekudi mutu wawu, buna wisi nkundi wu Sezali ko bila woso mutu wukibiekidi ntinu buna mbeni yi Sezali.
From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.
13 Bu kawa mambu momo, Pilatu wubuela nata Yesu ku nganda; wuyenda vuanda ku tilibinadu, va buangu baba tedilanga “Nganda matadi makitoko.” Mu ki Ebelewo “Ngabata”.
Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;
14 Mambu momo mavangama mu lumbu kituamina nyengo wu Pasika, nduka-nduka va thangu midi. Buna Pilatu wukamba bayuda: —Tala ntinuꞌeno niandi niawu!
(now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour; ) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!
15 Vayi bayamikina: —Kafua! Kafua! Mbandi va dikulusi! Pilatu wuba yuvula: —Buevi, ndibandisa ntinuꞌeno va dikulusi e? Bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi zimvutudila: —Beto tuisi ntinu wunkaka ko, ntinuꞌeto Sezali kaka!
But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Pilatu wuba yekudila Yesu muingi bambanda va dikulusi. Buna babonga yesu ayi bannata.
Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.
17 Wutotuka ayi wunata dikulusi diandi, wuyenda ku buangu kibabantedilanga: “Mvesi wu ntu” bu dinsundula mu ki Ebelewo: “Ngolongota”.
And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
18 Kuna bambandila va dikulusi va kimosi ayi batu buadi bankaka: wumosi ku lumoso, wumosi ku lubakala; Yesu va khatitsika.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilatu wuvanga tini ki dibaya, wutula kiawu vana dikulusi; munamusonama: “Yesu muisi Nazaleti, ntinu wu Bayuda.”
And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.
20 Bayuda bawombo batanga tini ki dibaya beni bila buangu kioki babandila Yesu va dikulusi kiba kifikama ayi divula. Tini ki dibayabeni kisonimina mu Kiebelewo, mu Kingeleki, mu Kilatini.
This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.
21 Buna bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi zi Bayuda zikamba Pilatu: —Kadi sonika ti “Ntinu wu Bayuda” vayi sonika ti “Mutu wawu wutuba ti: minu ndidi ntinu wu Bayuda”.
The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.
22 Vayi Pilatu wuvutula: —Mambu momo tsonikini, mafueni!
Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
23 Masodi bu mamana banda Yesu va dikulusi, mabonga minledi miandi, bavasa miawu mu bikuku biya; kadika disodi ayi kuku kiandi. Babonga diaka yunga kiandi; muaki yunga beni kiba ki nledi wumosi kaka tona ku yilu nate ku wanda, kikambu tungu.
The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.
24 Diawu masodi makambasana mawu na mawu: —Tubikeno kukikanzuna vayi tukitela wadi muingi tutala nani wumbuilu wadi beni. Mambu momo mavangama mu diambu di dedikisa masonuku mantuba ti: Bakabasana minledi miama ayi batela yunga kiama wadi. Masodi mavanga mambu momo.
They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.
25 Ngudi yi Yesu, nkomba ngudi yi Yesu, Maliya: nketo wu Klopasi ayi Maliya muisi Mangadala batelama va ndambu vaba dikulusi di Yesu.
And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
26 Yesu bu kamona ngudi andi ayi nlonguki wowo kaluta zola wutelama vana; buna wukamba ngudi andi: —Nketo, tala muanꞌaku!
Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
27 Bosi wukamba nlonguki: —Tala ngudi aku! Tona mu ntangu beni nlonguki wowo wulunda ngudi yi Yesu ku nzoꞌandi.
Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28 Yesu bu kazaba ti mambu moso madukidi, wutuba mu diambu masonoko madedakana: —Ndieka mona phuila.
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
29 Mvungu wumosi wuba vana, wuba wuwala vinu ki ngami. Babuika eponzi mu vinu beni; basomika eponzi beni va tsongi nti wu isopi; bavumuna nti beni nate va mutu wu Yesu muingi kanua.
There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.
30 Yesu bu kabimba vinu beni ki ngami, wutuba: —Mamoso madukidi. Buna wudokika ntuꞌandi, wutabuka vumunu.
When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
31 Sumbu kiba lumbu ki khubumunu, bila lumbu kina kiba lumbu kinneni ki saba, diawu Bayuda balombila Pilatu ti babakelula malu ayi baba botula va dikulusi mu diambu di zinitu ziawu zibika vuanda va dikulusi mu lumbu ki saba.
The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day], ) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.
32 Masodi mayiza ayi makelula malu ma mutu wutheti ayi ma mutu wowo wunkaka wu babanda yandi va dikulusi.
The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
33 Bu batula vaba Yesu, bamona ti Yesu wukifuididingai, basia kelula malu mandi ko.
but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,
34 Vayi disodi dintobula dionga mu luvati; vana vawu menga ayi nlangu bitotukidi.
but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
35 Mutu wowo wummona wutelama kimbangi ayi kimbangi kiandi kidi kikiedika ayi niandi zebi ti weti tuba kiedika muingi beno mamveno luwilukila.
And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.
36 Bila mambu momo mavangama mu diambu di masonoko masunduka: kadi mvesi andi wumosi wusia kelulu ko.
For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.
37 Buela diaka, masonuku mankaka meti kamba: thaluꞌawu yela ba kuidi mutu wowo batobula.
And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 Momo bu mavioka, Zefu muisi Alimate, wuba nlonguki wu Yesu mu kinsueki bila wuba ntinanga Bayuda, wuyenda lomba minsua kuidi Pilatu muingi kabotula nitu yi Yesu va dikulusi. Pilatu wumvana minsua. Wuyenda bonga nitu Yesu.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.
39 Nikodemi, mutu wowo va thonono wuyenda bata Yesu mu builu, mamvandi wuyiza, wunata bungu kimalasi matsudi ma mile masobakana ayialowesi. Malasi beni maba nduka-nduka makumatatu makilo.
And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].
40 Babonga nitu yi Yesu, bazinga yawu malasola ma lino momo badukudila malasi boso buididi kifu ki Bayuda mu zika mvumbi.
They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.
41 Va buangu kioki babandila Yesu va dikulusi vaba ndima yi minti. Muna ndima beni muba ziami kimona disokolo mu ditadi, muzikulu mutu ko.
But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Batula muawu Yesu bila ziami beni kiba kifikama mu diambu di khubumunu yi Bayuda.
There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
