< John 19 >

1 Nítorí náà ni Pilatu mú Jesu, ó sì nà án.
Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.
2 Àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì hun adé ẹ̀gún, wọ́n sì fi dé e ní orí, wọ́n sì fi aṣọ ìgúnwà elése àlùkò wọ̀ ọ́.
And the soldiers, twisting twigs of thorn into a wreath, put it on His head, and threw round Him a crimson cloak.
3 Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Kábíyèsí, ọba àwọn Júù!” Wọ́n sì fi ọwọ́ wọn gbá a ní ojú.
Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, "Hail King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.
4 Pilatu sì tún jáde, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Wò ó, mo mú u jáde tọ̀ yín wá, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè mọ̀ pé, èmi kò rí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.”
Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "See, I am bringing him out to you to let you clearly understand that I find no crime in him."
5 Nítorí náà Jesu jáde wá, ti òun ti adé ẹ̀gún àti aṣọ elése àlùkò. Pilatu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ wò ọkùnrin náà!”
So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, "See, there is the man."
6 Nítorí náà nígbà tí àwọn olórí àlùfáà, àti àwọn oníṣẹ́ rí i, wọ́n kígbe wí pé, “Kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú, kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú.” Pilatu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú un fún ara yín, kí ẹ sì kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú: nítorí èmi kò rí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.”
As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, find no crime in him."
7 Àwọn Júù dá a lóhùn wí pé, “Àwa ní òfin kan, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin, wa ó yẹ fún un láti kú, nítorí ó gbà pé Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni òun ń ṣe.”
"We," replied the Jews, "have a Law, and in accordance with that Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God."
8 Nítorí náà nígbà tí Pilatu gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ẹ̀rù túbọ̀ bà á.
More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.
9 Ó sì tún wọ inú gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́ lọ, ó sì wí fún Jesu pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ti wá?” Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu kò dá a lóhùn.
"What is your origin?" he asked. But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Nítorí náà, Pilatu wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni ìwọ kò fọhùn sí? Ìwọ kò mọ̀ pé, èmi ní agbára láti dá ọ sílẹ̀, èmi sì ní agbára láti kàn ọ́ mọ́ àgbélébùú?”
"Do you refuse to speak even to me?" asked Pilate; "do you not know that I have it in my power either to release you or to crucify you?"
11 Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Ìwọ kì bá tí ní agbára kan lórí mi, bí kò ṣe pé a fi í fún ọ láti òkè wá, nítorí náà ẹni tí ó fi mí lé ọ lọ́wọ́ ni ó ní ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ pọ̀jù.”
"You would have had no power whatever over me," replied Jesus, "had it not been granted you from above. On that account he who has delivered me up to you is more guilty than you are."
12 Nítorí èyí, Pilatu ń wá ọ̀nà láti dá a sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Júù kígbe, wí pé, “Bí ìwọ bá dá ọkùnrin yìí sílẹ̀, ìwọ kì í ṣe ọ̀rẹ́ Kesari: ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ṣe ara rẹ̀ ní ọba, ó sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Kesari.”
Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar."
13 Nítorí náà nígbà tí Pilatu gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, ó mú Jesu jáde wá, ó sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ ní ibi tí a ń pè ní Òkúta-títẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n ní èdè Heberu, Gabata.
On hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judge's seat in a place called the Pavement--or in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Ó jẹ́ ìpalẹ̀mọ́ àjọ ìrékọjá, ó sì jẹ́ ìwọ̀n wákàtí ẹ̀kẹfà: Ó sì wí fún àwọn Júù pé, “Ẹ wo ọba yín!”
It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "There is your king!"
15 Nítorí náà wọ́n kígbe wí pé, “Mú un kúrò, mú un kúrò. Kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú.” Pilatu wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi yóò ha kan ọba yín mọ́ àgbélébùú bí?” Àwọn olórí àlùfáà dáhùn wí pé, “Àwa kò ní ọba bí kò ṣe Kesari.”
This caused a storm of outcries, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Am I to crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king, except Caesar," answered the High Priests.
16 Nítorí náà ni Pilatu fà á lé wọn lọ́wọ́ láti kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú. Àwọn ológun gba Jesu lọ́wọ́ Pilatu.
Then Pilate gave Him up to them to be crucified. Accordingly they took Jesus;
17 Nítorí náà, wọ́n mú Jesu, ó sì jáde lọ, ó ru àgbélébùú fúnra rẹ̀ sí ibi tí à ń pè ní ibi agbárí, ní èdè Heberu tí à ń pè ní Gọlgọta.
and He went out carrying His own cross, to the place called Skull-place--or, in Hebrew, Golgotha--
18 Níbi tí wọ́n gbé kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú, àti àwọn méjì mìíràn pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, níhà ìhín àti níhà kejì, Jesu sì wà láàrín.
where they nailed Him to a cross, and two others at the same time, one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilatu sì kọ ìwé kan pẹ̀lú, ó sì fi lé e lórí àgbélébùú náà. Ohun tí a sì kọ ni, Jesu ti Nasareti Ọba àwọn Júù.
And Pilate wrote a notice and had it fastened to the top of the cross. It ran thus: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Nítorí náà, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn Júù ni ó ka ìwé àkọlé yìí, nítorí ibi tí a gbé kan Jesu mọ́ àgbélébùú súnmọ́ etí ìlú, a sì kọ ọ́ ní èdè Heberu àti Latin, àti ti Giriki.
Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was in three languages--Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Nítorí náà àwọn olórí àlùfáà àwọn Júù wí fún Pilatu pé, “Má ṣe kọ, ‘Ọba àwọn Júù,’ ṣùgbọ́n pé ọkùnrin yìí wí pé, èmi ni ọba àwọn Júù.”
This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. "You should not write 'The King of the Jews,'" they said, "but that he claimed to be King of the Jews."
22 Pilatu dáhùn pé, ohun tí mo ti kọ, mo ti kọ ọ́.
"What I have written I have written," was Pilate's answer.
23 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ-ogun, nígbà tí wọ́n kan Jesu mọ́ àgbélébùú tán, wọ́n mú aṣọ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì pín wọn sí ipa mẹ́rin, apá kan fún ọmọ-ogun kọ̀ọ̀kan, àti ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ náà kò ní ojúràn-án, wọ́n hun ún láti òkè títí jálẹ̀.
So the soldiers, as soon as they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, including His tunic, and divided them into four parts--one part for each soldier. The tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
24 Nítorí náà wọ́n wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ẹ má jẹ́ kí a fà á ya, ṣùgbọ́n kí a ṣẹ́ gègé nítorí rẹ̀.” Ti ẹni tí yóò jẹ́: kí ìwé mímọ́ kí ó le ṣẹ, tí ó wí pé, “Wọ́n pín aṣọ mi láàrín ara wọn, wọ́n sì ṣẹ́ gègé fún aṣọ ìlekè mi.” Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọmọ-ogun ṣe.
So they said to one another, "Do not let us tear it. Let us draw lots for it." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They shared my garments among them, and drew lots for my clothing." That was just what the soldiers did.
25 Ìyá Jesu àti arábìnrin ìyá rẹ̀ Maria aya Kilopa, àti Maria Magdalene sì dúró níbi àgbélébùú,
Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
26 nígbà tí Jesu rí ìyá rẹ̀ àti ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn náà dúró, ẹni tí Jesu fẹ́ràn, ó wí fún ìyá rẹ̀ pé, “Obìnrin, wo ọmọ rẹ!”
So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, "Behold, your son!"
27 Lẹ́yìn náà ni ó sì wí fún ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn náà pé, “Wo ìyá rẹ!” Láti wákàtí náà lọ ni ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn náà sì ti mú un lọ sí ilé ara rẹ̀.
Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that time the disciple received her into his own home.
28 Lẹ́yìn èyí, bí Jesu ti mọ̀ pé, a ti parí ohun gbogbo tán, kí ìwé mímọ́ bà á lè ṣẹ, ó wí pé, “Òrùngbẹ ń gbẹ mí.”
After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought to an end, said--that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "I am thirsty."
29 Ohun èlò kan tí ó kún fún ọtí kíkan wà níbẹ̀, wọ́n tẹ kànìnkànìn tí ó kún fún ọtí kíkan bọ inú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì fi lé orí igi hísópù, wọ́n sì nà án sí i lẹ́nu.
There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
30 Nígbà tí Jesu sì ti gba ọtí kíkan náà, ó wí pé, “Ó parí!” Ó sì tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba, ó jọ̀wọ́ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
As soon as Jesus had taken the wine, He said, "It is finished." And then, bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
31 Nítorí ó jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìpalẹ̀mọ́, kí òkú wọn má ba à wà lórí àgbélébùú ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi (nítorí ọjọ́ ńlá ni ọjọ́ ìsinmi náà), nítorí náà, àwọn Júù bẹ Pilatu pé kí a ṣẹ́ egungun itan wọn, kí a sì gbé wọn kúrò.
Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs of the dying men broken, and the bodies removed.
32 Nítorí náà, àwọn ọmọ-ogun wá, wọ́n sì ṣẹ́ egungun itan ti èkínní, àti ti èkejì, tí a kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus.
33 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n dé ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu, tí wọ́n sì rí i pé ó ti kú, wọn kò ṣẹ́ egungun itan rẹ̀,
Then they came to Jesus Himself: but when they saw that He was already dead, they refrained from breaking His legs.
34 ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ogun náà fi ọ̀kọ̀ gún un lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́, lójúkan náà, ẹ̀jẹ̀ àti omi sì tú jáde.
One of the soldiers, however, made a thrust at His side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 Ẹni tí ó rí sì jẹ́rìí, òtítọ́ sì ni ẹ̀rí rẹ̀, ó sì mọ̀ pé òtítọ́ ni òun sọ, kí ẹ̀yin ba à lè gbàgbọ́.
This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true. He knows that he is telling the truth--in order that you also may believe.
36 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ṣe, kí ìwé mímọ́ ba à lè ṣẹ, tí ó wí pé, “A kì yóò fọ́ egungun rẹ̀.”
For all this took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled which declares, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."
37 Ìwé mímọ́ mìíràn pẹ̀lú sì wí pé, “Wọn ó máa wo ẹni tí a gún lọ́kọ̀.”
And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they have pierced."
38 Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní Josẹfu ará Arimatea, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Jesu, ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, nítorí ìbẹ̀rù àwọn Júù, o bẹ Pilatu kí òun lè gbé òkú Jesu kúrò, Pilatu sì fún un ní àṣẹ. Nígbà náà ni ó wá, ó sì gbé òkú Jesu lọ.
After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and removed the body.
39 Nikodemu pẹ̀lú sì wá, ẹni tí ó tọ Jesu wá lóru lákọ̀ọ́kọ́, ó sì mú àdàpọ̀ òjìá àti aloe wá, ó tó ìwọ̀n ọgọ́rùn-ún lita.
Nicodemus too--he who at first had visited Jesus by night--came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about seventy or eighty pounds.
40 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé òkú Jesu, wọ́n sì fi aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ dì í pẹ̀lú tùràrí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe àwọn Júù ti rí ní ìsìnkú wọn.
Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of preparing for burial.
41 Àgbàlá kan sì wà níbi tí a gbé kàn án mọ́ àgbélébùú; ibojì tuntun kan sì wà nínú àgbàlá náà, nínú èyí tí a kò tí ì tẹ́ ẹnìkan sí rí.
There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
42 Ǹjẹ́ níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì tẹ́ Jesu sí, nítorí ìpalẹ̀mọ́ àwọn Júù; àti nítorí ibojì náà wà nítòsí.
Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, they put Jesus there.
