Yuhana 19
1 Bilatus yira Yesu ku adi kpizughe.
After that, Pilate had Jesus scourged.
2 A soja pio imart i kyeghe litappa mun. I shono linin litin Yesu inin shonghe inin diuu.
The soldiers made a crown with some thorns and put it on his head and threw a purple robe round him.
3 I da kitime I woro, “Idin lissufi, ugo na Yahudawa!” Inin fighe nin nacara mine.
They kept coming up to him and saying: “Long live the King of the Jews!” and they gave him blow after blow with their hands.
4 Bilatus kuru anuzu a woro anite, “Yeneng, ndin cinu unutunu minu unite ndas inan nyinno nan seghe nin kulapi ba.”
Pilate again came outside, and said to the people: “Look! I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find nothing with which he can be charged.”
5 Yesu tunna a nuzu; awadi nin tilapa nimart litime a imon iduwe kidowo me. Bilatus woro nani, “Yeneng unite ule!”
Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate said to them: “Here is the man!”
6 Na udya na Priest nin na soja nyene Yesu ku. I ta ntet iworo “Na ikottunghe kuca, na ikottunghe kuca!” Bilatus woro nani, “yiranghe ussaminu idi kotinghe kuce, bara na meng seghe nin kulapi ba.”
When the Chief Priests and the police-officers saw him, they shouted: “Crucify him! Crucify him!” “Take him yourselves and crucify him,” said Pilate. “For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.”
7 A Yahudawa kawa Bilatus ku iworoghe, “Tidi nin duka, tutung bara ubellu leli uduke, ucaun aku, bara na ata litime aso Usaun Kutelle.”
“But we,” replied the Jews, “have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God.”
8 Na Bilatus nlaza uleli ulire, fiu kpina jukifughe kang,
When Pilate heard what they said, he became still more alarmed;
9 akuru apira kudarun sharawe tutung a woro Yesu ku, “Una dak unuzun nweri?” Na Yesu kawaghe ba.
and, going into the Government House again, he said to Jesus: “Where do you come from?”
10 Bilatus kuru a woroghe, “Na uma lirunu nin ba? Na uyiru ndi ni likara nsunfi u nya nkuru nyita nin likara nti ikottun fi kuca ba?”
But Jesus made no reply. So Pilate said to him: “Do you refuse to speak to me? Do not you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?”
11 Yesu kawaghe a woro na uwasa uyita nin likara litinin ba, andi na inafi unuzu kitene kani ba. Ulenge na a nakpafi meng ku katin nin kulapi.”
“You would have no power over me at all,” answered Jesus, “if it had not been given you from above; and, therefore, the man who betrayed me to you is guilty of the greater sin.”
12 Nin leli ukpinue, Bilatus wa pizuru nworu a sughe, ama a Yahudawa jartiza kang iworo, “Asa usuna unit ulele, nafe udondong Nkaisarari ba: Vat nlenge na ana litime tigo, adin nliru ule na Kaisar din lanzu nman nin ba.”
This made Pilate anxious to release him; but the Jews shouted: “If you release that man, you are no friend of the Emperor! Any one who makes himself out to be a King is setting himself against the Emperor!”
13 Na Bilatus nlaza uleli ulire, anutuno Yesu ku ndas, aso kutet nshara kiti kanga na idin yiccu upaviment, nin ti Ibranaci lisse Gabbata.
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out, and took his seat upon the Bench at a place called ‘The Stone Pavement’ — in Hebrew ‘Gabbatha.’
14 Liri nshirin Npaskari wadi, kusari nikoro kutocin. Biltus woro a Yahudawe, “Yeneng ugo mine ule!”
It was the Passover Preparation Day, and about noon. Then he said to the Jews: “Here is your King!”
15 Ijarta kang i woro, Can ninghe, can ninghe; kottunoghe kuca!” Bilatus woro nani, “Meng kottin ugo mine?” Udya na Priest kawwa, “Na tidi nin mong ugo ba se Kaisar.”
At that the people shouted: “Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!” “What! shall I crucify your King?” exclaimed Pilate. “We have no King but the Emperor,” replied the Chief Priests;
16 Bilatus kurtuno nani Yesu ku, idin ikottunghe kucan.
whereupon Pilate gave Jesus up to them to be crucified.
17 I yira Yesue ku, a nuzu udas, a yauna kuca ndi kottunu me usanme, ucindu kite na idin yiccu kin ku kankan liti. kanga na idin yiccu nin ti Yahudawa Golgota.
and he went out, carrying his cross himself, to the place which is named from a scull, or, in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18 I kottuno Yesu ku kuca kikane, ligowe ninghe among naba, kolome likt me unit urum, a Yesu kitik mine.
There they crucified him, and two others with him — one on each side, and Jesus between them.
19 Bilatus yertine nkon kulap ndursu a bana kitene kuce. Iwa su iyerte nenge: YESU NNAZARET, UGO NA YAHUDAWA.
Pilate also had these words written and put up over the cross — ‘JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
20 Gbardang na Yahudawa wa bellu iyete ine, bara kite na iwa kottun Yesu ku kuce wa di susut nin kipine. Iwa su iyerte nin ti Yahudanci, ti Romawa a ti Helenawa.
These words were read by many of the Jews, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and they were written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.
21 Udya na Priest na Yahudawe woro Bilatus ku, “Na uwa yertin 'ugo na Yahudawa ba' mbara uworo, ame na woro, 'Meng ugo na Yahudawari.'”
The Jewish Chief Priests said to Pilate: “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews’, but write what the man said — ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
22 Bilatus kawaghe a woro, “Imong ile na nyerti, nmal yerunari une.”
But Pilate answered: “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Na a soja nkottuno Yesue ku, i yauna ugudun me i kosso uni niti ninas, ko kome kusoja nin kusari kitime; nanere wang kultukke. Kulutukke wadi nin tutun ku ba, iwa ke kunin sundulunghari.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares — a share for each soldier — and they took the coat also. The coat had no seam, being woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 I woro nati mine, “Na tiwa marya kunin ba, nbaa ira ti dinja timoku tiyene sa kuma so kunghari.” Uwaso nani uliru Kutelle na iwa bellin nenge nan kulo, “Iwa kossu tigudun nin nati mine, imon nin tutung i dinja timo ku.”
So they said to one another: “Do not let us tear it, but let us cast lots for it, to see who shall have it.” This was in fulfilment of the words of Scripture — ‘They shared my clothes among them, And over my clothing they cast lots.’ That was what the soldiers did.
25 Asoje wassu ileli imone. Unan Yesu, gwana nne, Maryamu uwanin Kilopas, a Maryamu Magdaliya- awanin alele wa yissin susut nin kuca nkottunun Yesu.
Meanwhile near the cross of Jesus were standing his mother and his mother’s sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary of Magdala.
26 Na Yesu yene unene nin gono katwa me na wadi nin sume yissin susut kupo me, a woro nna me, “uwani, yene, gonofe kanga!”
When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing near, he said to his mother: “There is your son.”
27 A woro gono katwa we, “Yene, unafe ule!” Nanya kubi konere nono katwa we wa yirughe ucin du mun ngame.
Then he said to that disciple: “There is your mother.” And from that very hour the disciple took her to live in his house.
28 Kimal nani nin yirun Yesu, nworu imon vat nmala, anan ta uliru Kutelle nan so kidegen, a woro, “Ayin kotoi.”
Afterwards, knowing that everything was now finished, Jesus said, in fulfilment of the words of Scripture: “I am thirsty.”
29 KItene lissu nmyen mi gbalala wa duku, I buro lissut likpu jangarang i shono nanya nmyen mi gbalale, i taghe nnuu.
There was a bowl standing there full of common wine; so they put a sponge soaked in the wine on the end of a hyssop-stalk, and held it up to his mouth.
30 Na Yesu nciro nmyen mi gbalale, a woro “Imone nmala.” A tumu litime, a suna nfip me.
When Jesus had received the wine, he exclaimed: “All is finished!” Then, bowing his head, he resigned his spirit to God.
31 Kubi nshiriari wadi, bara iwa sun nidowo kitene naca nkottunu liri na Sabbat (bara liri na Sabbat liri lidya wari), a Yahudawa tirino Bilatus ku nworu a yinnin nani idi pucu abunu na lenge na ibana nani naca, inan toltino nidowo mine kutyin.
It was the Preparation Day, and so, to prevent the bodies from remaining on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 A soja da ida puco abunu na le na ikotuno nani kuca ligowe nin Yesu.
Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and then those of the other who had been crucified with Jesus;
33 Na ida kitin Yesu, Ise amal ku, na i puco abunu me ba.
but, on coming to him, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 Vat nani, nkon kusoja buro lipala me nin liyop, nmii nin myen nuzu kitene dedei.
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water immediately flowed from it.
35 Ulenge na ana yene ilenge imone, nati iyizi nba, iyizi nba me kidegenere. Ayiru nworu ulire na ana belli kidegenere, bara anung wang nan yinna.
This is the statement of one who actually saw it — and his statement may be relied upon, and he knows that he is speaking the truth — and it is given in order that you also may be convinced.
36 Ilenge imone na se, bara uliru Kutelle nan kulo, “Na ina puru liku me ko lirum ba.”
For all this took place in fulfilment of the words of Scripture — ‘Not one of its bones shall be broken.’
37 Tutung umong uliru Kutelle wa belli “Ima yenjughe ame ulenge na iwa burughe.”
And there is another passage which says — ‘They will look upon him whom they pierced.’
38 Kimal ni leli imone, Yusufun Armatiya, ame wang wa di gono katwan Yesu, ama nanya liyeshinbar fiu na Yahudawa, awa tirin Bilatus ku anan se ayira kidowon Yesu. Bilatus wa yinninghe mu. Yusufe da ada yira kidowo me.
After this, Joseph of Ramah, a disciple of Jesus — but a secret one, owing to his fear of the Jews — begged Pilate’s permission to remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him leave; so Joseph went and removed the body.
39 Nikodimo wang wa dak, ame ulenge na awa tu ada kitin Yesu nin kitik. A wa munu nnuf Myrth nin aloes adamun, ngetek mini wa durun ngetek nimon ngucu kiti akalt likure.
Nicodemus, too — the man who had formerly visited Jesus by night — came with a roll of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.
40 Inani wa yaun kidowon Yesu i tere nin kusu kuba kubo a nnuf kunya kumang, nafo utanda na Yahudawa andi ima kasu libi.
They took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
41 Kitene na iwa kottunghe kuce kunen wa duku; nanya kunene kissek waduku kipesse kanga na iwa di isa kassa unit ku ba.
At the place where Jesus had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a newly-made tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Bara lirin shiriari wa di a Yahudawa, tutung kiti kisseske wa di susut, inani wa nonko Yesu ku nanya kini.
And so, because of its being the Preparation Day, and as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
