< Mark 15 >

1 As soon as it was daylight, the Chief Priests, after holding a consultation with the Councillors and Teachers of the Law — that is to say, the whole High Council — put Jesus in chains, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.
Kundaŵi pe, achakulu ŵambopesi ni achachekulu ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo, pamo ni Nkungulu wose, ŵatemi, ŵajilene kunjausya Che Yesu ku che Pilato. Nipele ŵantaŵile, ni kunjausya ku che Pilato.
2 “Are you the King of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “It is true,” replied Jesus.
Che Pilato ŵammusisye Che Yesu, “Ana mmweji ndi mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Elo, mpela mmwejo intite pakuŵecheta.”
3 Then the Chief Priests brought a number of charges against him;
Achakulu ŵambopesi ŵaŵechetele Che Yesu maloŵe gamajinji.
4 upon which Pilate questioned Jesus again. “Have you no reply to make?” he asked. “Listen, how many charges they are bringing against you.”
Che Pilato ŵammusisye sooni Che Yesu, “Ana ngakwanga chachili chose? Mpilikane maloŵe gose gakummechetela ga.”
5 But Jesus still made no reply whatever; at which Pilate was astonished.
Nambo Che Yesu nganajanga liloŵe, mpaka che Pilato ŵasimosile.
6 Now, at the Feast, Pilate used to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might ask for.
Pa katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka, che Pilato ŵasyoŵelele kwagopolela jwataŵikwe juŵansachile ŵandu.
7 A man called Barabbas was in prison, with the rioters who had committed murder during a riot.
Kwaliji ni jwataŵikwe jumo, liina lyakwe che Balaba, juŵaliji ataŵikwe pamo ni ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵatandisye utindiganyo ni kwaulaga ŵandu ŵane.
8 So, when the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate to follow his usual custom,
Mpingo wa ŵandu waichilile che Pilato, ŵatandite kwaŵenda ŵapanganyichisye mpela iŵatendaga.
9 he answered: “Do you want me to release the ‘King of the Jews’ for you?”
Che Pilato ŵausisye, “Ana nkusaka nangopolele Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
10 For he was aware that it was out of jealousy that the Chief Priests had given Jesus up to him.
Che Pilato ŵatite yeleyo pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile kuti, achakulu ŵambopesi ŵannyichisye Che Yesu kukwao ligongo lya kwakolela wiu.
11 But the Chief Priests incited the crowd to get Barabbas released instead.
Nambo achakulu ŵambopesi ŵala, ŵachisisye ŵandu ŵaŵende che Pilato ŵagopolele che Balaba pamalo pa Che Yesu.
12 Pilate, however, spoke to them again: “What shall I do then with the man whom you call the ‘King of the Jews’?”
Che Pilato ŵausisye ŵandu sooni, “Sambano, nkusaka naapanganyichisye ichichi aju mundu junkuti Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
13 Again they shouted: “Crucify him!”
Ŵanyanyisye sooni achitiji, “Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba!”
14 “Why, what harm has he done?” Pilate kept saying to them. But they shouted furiously: “Crucify him!”
Nambo che Pilato ŵausisye, “Atesile chakusakala chanti uli?” Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapundile kunyanyisya achitiji, “Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba!”
15 And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and, after scourging Jesus, gave him up to be crucified.
Che Pilato ŵasachile kwanonyelesya ŵandu, ŵagopolele che Balaba. Nipele ŵalamwile Che Yesu aputikwe mbokola ni kwapa ŵaŵambe pa nsalaba.
16 The soldiers then took Jesus away into the court-yard — that is the Government House — and they called the whole garrison together.
Ŵangondo ŵanjawisye Che Yesu pa nsana wa likome li che Pilato, jwankulu jwa chilambo. Ŵausimanisye mpingo wose wa ŵangondo.
17 They dressed him in a purple robe, and, having twisted a crown of thorns, put it on him,
Ŵambwasisye mwinjilo wa sambalau nti mwenye, ŵakolosisye chindu mpela singwa ja miiŵa, ŵambwasisye mu ntwe.
18 and then began to salute him. “Long life to you, King of the Jews!” they said.
Nipele ŵatandite kunkomasya achitiji, “Kutusimana, Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi!”
19 And they kept striking him on the head with a rod, spitting at him, and bowing to the ground before him — going down on their knees;
Ŵamputile pa ntwe ni lubokola lwa nnasi, ŵansunile mata, ŵantindiŵalile ni kwakotamila.
20 and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the purple robe, and put his own clothes on him.
Paŵamasile kwachembulusya, ŵammusile mwinjilo wa sambalau ni kwawasya iwalo yao. Nipele ŵantyosisye paasa ni kwaŵamba pa nsalaba.
21 And they led Jesus out to crucify him; and they compelled a passer-by, Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them to carry his cross.
Paŵaliji mwitala, ŵasimene ni mundu liina lyao che Simoni, jwa ku Kulene jwaŵaliji atati ŵa che Alekisanda ni che Lufo. Jweleju ŵatyochelaga kunsinda kwinjila mmusi. Ŵangondo ŵankanganichisye atwichile nsalaba uŵajigele Che Yesu ula.
22 They brought Jesus to the place which was known as Golgotha — a name which means ‘Place of a Skull.’
Nipele ŵanjigele Che Yesu mpaka peuto papaŵilanjikwe Goligota, malumbo gakwe, “Peuto papakuloleka nti, Chikalakasa cha Ntwe.”
23 There they offered him drugged wine; but Jesus refused it.
Pelepo, ŵampele divai jewanganye ni ntela waukuŵilanjikwa manemane, nambo Che Yesu ŵakanile kung'wa.
24 Then they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots for them, to settle what each should take.
Ŵammambile pa nsalaba ni ŵagaŵene iwalo yakwe kwa kuitendela gudugudu, pakuti alole ŵaani chapate chiwalo chi.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
Jaliji saa tatu kundaŵi paŵammambile pa nsalaba.
26 The words of the charge against him, written up over his head, ran thus — ‘THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
Ni pachanya nsalaba, ŵaŵisile chindu chachilembekwe magambo ga, “MWENYE JWA ŴAYAHUDI.”
27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on the right, and the other on the left.
Papopopepo ŵaŵambikwe pa misalaba ŵachiswamba ŵaŵili, jwine kundyo ku Che Yesu ni jwine kunchiji.
Yeleyi yamalichisye Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti, “Jwaŵichikwe pamo ni ŵandu ŵangalumbana.”
29 The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads, as they said: “Ah! you who would destroy the Temple and build one in three days,
Ŵandu ŵaŵapitaga pelepo ŵapukunyaga mitwe jao ni kwatukana Che Yesu, alinkuti, “Ama! Mmwe ngati mwatiji chinchigumula Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ni kujitaŵa kwa moŵa gatatu!
30 come down from the cross and save yourself!”
Sambano, ntuluche pa nsalaba, ndikulupusye mwasyene!”
31 In the same way the Chief Priests, with the Teachers of the Law, said to one another in mockery:
Iyoyo peyo achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo wala ŵanchembulwisye achisalilanaga, “Ŵakulupwisye ŵandu ŵane, nambo ngakukombola kulikulupusya nsyene!
32 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the ‘King of Israel,’ come down from the cross now, that we may see it and believe.” Even the men who had been crucified with Jesus reviled him.
Nneche twalole Kilisito, Mwenye jwa Isilaeli! Atuluche etu pa nsalaba po kuti tulole ni kwakulupilila.” Iyoyo peyo ŵandu uŵaŵambikwe pa misalaba chiŵandi ni Che Yesu, ni ŵanyawo nombe ŵaliji nkutukana.
33 At midday, a darkness came over the whole country, lasting till three in the afternoon.
Palyaiche lyuŵa pantwe, chilambo chose chaunichikwe ni chipi mpaka saa tisa ja muusi.
34 And, at three, Jesus called out loudly: ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?’” which means ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’
Saa tisa ja muusi Che Yesu ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani?” Malumbo gakwe, “Akunnungu ŵangu, Akunnungu ŵangu, kwachichi munesile?”
35 Some of those standing round heard this, and said: “Listen! He is calling for Elijah!”
Aŵala ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵajimi pepala ŵala, paŵapilikene maloŵe go ŵatite, “Mpilikanile! Akwaŵilanga che Elia!”
36 And a man ran, and, soaking a sponge in common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink, saying as he did so: “Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.”
Jumo jwao ŵautwiche kukunyoya chindu mpela lidodoki mu divai jakuŵipa, ŵakoleche pa nnasi, ŵambichile Che Yesu pakang'wa, achitiji, “Nneche tulole iŵaga che Elia chaiche kukuntulusya pa nsalaba!”
37 But Jesus, giving a loud cry, expired.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵanyanyisye ni ŵajasiche.
38 The Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom.
Katema kakoko, nguo ja lusasa ja mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu japapwiche pambindikati, kutyochela penani mpaka paasi.
39 The Roman Officer, who was standing facing Jesus, on seeing the way in which he expired, exclaimed: “This man must indeed have been ‘God’s Son’!”
Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo juŵajimi mmbujo mwa nsalaba, paŵaweni Che Yesu ajasiche kwanti yeleyo, ŵatite, “Isyene mundu ju ŵaliji Mwana jwa Akunnungu!”
40 There were some women also watching from a distance, among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joseph, and Salome —
Achakongwe ŵampepe ŵaliji nkulolechesya kwakutalichila. Mwa ŵanyawo, ŵapali che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala ni che Salome ni che Maliamu achikulu ŵao che Yakobo jwannandi ni che Yusufu.
41 all of whom used to accompany Jesus when he was in Galilee, and attend on him — besides many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.
Achakongwe ŵa ni aŵala ŵaŵaliji nkwakuya Che Yesu paŵaliji ku Galilaya ni kwatumichila. Iyoyo peyo ŵapali achakongwe ŵane pepala, ŵaŵaiche ku Yelusalemu pamo nawo.
42 The evening had already fallen, when, as it was the Preparation Day — the day before the Sabbath —
Lyaiche ligulo lya lyuŵa lya kuliŵika chile, likanaŵe Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
43 Joseph from Ramah, a Councillor of good position, who was himself living in expectation of the Kingdom of God, came and ventured to go in to see Pilate, and to ask for the body of Jesus.
Che Yusufu jwa musi wa ku Alimataya, juŵaliji jumo jwa achakulu ŵa Nkungulu ni jwakuchimbichikwa nnope ŵaiche. Jwelejo ŵaliji nkulolela kwika kwa Umwenye wa Akunnungu. Nipele che Yusufu ŵanjaulile che Pilato pangajogopa ni kwaŵenda ŵaape chiilu chi Che Yesu.
44 But Pilate was surprised to hear that he had already died. So he sent for the Officer, and asked if he were already dead;
Che Pilato ŵasimosile kupilikana kuti Che Yesu ajasiche. Nipele, ŵammilasile jwankulu jwa ŵangondo, ŵambusisye iŵaga Che Yesu ŵajasiche.
45 and, on learning from the Officer that it was so, he gave the corpse to Joseph.
Nipele, che Pilato paŵaimanyi kutyochela kwa jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula, ŵannechele che Yusufu ajigale chiilu chi Che Yesu.
46 Joseph, having bought a linen sheet, took Jesus down, and wound the sheet round him, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock; and then rolled a stone up against the entrance of the tomb.
Che Yusufu ŵasumile saanda, ni ŵachitulwisye paasi chiilu chi Che Yesu ni kuchiŵilijila saanda jila. Ŵachiŵisile mwilembe lilyasepekwe pa lwala. Nipele ŵalipitikulile liganga lyalikulungwa pannango.
47 Mary of Magdala and Mary, the mother of Joseph, were watching to see where he was laid.
Che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala pamo ni che Maliamu achikulugwe che Yusufu ŵapaweni pelepo paŵachiŵisile chiilu chi Che Yesu.
