John 19
1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
Linu Pilato ni cha hinda Jesu ni ku mushupa.
2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
Masole ni ba luka ihusi ya miya. Ni ba izwatika Jesu ku mutwi ni ku muzwatika muchizabalo cha mubala wabusimwine.
3 They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
Ni chi beza kwali ni chi bati, “Yosho, Simwine wa Majuda!” mi ni chi ba mudama.
4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
Linu Pilato ni cha zwila hanze hape mi ni chati kubali, “Mubone, Ni muleta hanze kwenu chokuti mwizibe kuti ka na na wana mulandu kwakwe.”
5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
Chobulyo Jesu ni chazwila hanze, a ba zwete ihusi ya miya ni chizwato chamubala wa busimwine. Linu Pilato ni chawamba ku bali, “Mubone muntu!”
6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”
Linu ni hakwinabulyo bapurisita bakulwana ni basepahala chi ba bona Jesu, chi bahuweleza ni kuwamba kuti, “Mu mu kokotele, mu mu kokotele!” Pilato ni cha wamba kubali, “Mu muhinde mubene mi mu mu kokotele, mukuti ka kwina mulandu wa nawana kwali.”
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
Majuda ni chi ba mwitaba, “Twina mulao, mi chakuya cho wo mulao u swanela kufwa chokuti a ba libiki kuti Mwana we Ireeza.”
8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
Linu Pilato ha zuwa ao manzwi, ni chaba ni kutiya ahulu,
9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
mi ni chenjila mu maofisi makando a mubuso hape ni chati kwa Jesu, “U zwa kuhi?” Kono Jesu kana a ba mwitabi.
10 Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”
Linu Pilato ni chati kwali, “I we ko wambi kwangu? Kana kawizi kuti ni na ziho za ku ku lukulula, ni ziho za ku ku kokotela?”
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”
Jesu ni cha mwitaba, “Kawina ziho heulu lyangu konji zi ba hewa kwako kuzwilila kwiulu. Ni hakwina bulyo, i ye ya ba ni hi kwako wina chibi chikando.”
12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”
Che yi inkalabo, Pilato ni cha lika ku mulukulula, kono Majuda ni chi ba huweleza ni chi bati, “Heba ne u lukulula u zu muntu, kahena u mulikani wa Sesare: Zumwi ni zumwi u li bika busimwine u wamba cha kulwisa Sesare.”
13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
Linu Pilato ha zuwa ao manzwi, ni chaleta Jesu hanze mi ni chekala muchipula cha buatuli muchibaka chi sumpwa, “Chibaka chi Bumwinwe,” Kono mu chi Heberu, “Gabati.”
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
Linu chi bali izuba lye ntukiso ye Impaseka, chi i bakusaka ku ba inako i kwana i yanza ni konke. Pilato ni chati ku Majuda, “Mubone, u zu simwine wenu!”
15 They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
Ni chi bahuwa kuti, “Muzwise, muzwise; u mukokotele!” Pilato ni cha ti kubali, “ni kokotele Simwine wenu?” Ba purisita ba kulwana ni chi betaba, “Katwina Simwine esi bulyo Sesare,”
16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
Linu Pilato na ba ha Jesu kuti a kokotelwe.
17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
Cwale ni bahinda Jesu, mi ni cha ya hanze, kulihindila chifapano i ye mwine, ku chibaka chi sumpwa “Chibaka cha Katendele,” I cho mu chi Heberu chi sumpwa, “Kologota.”
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
Ba ba kokoteli Jesu u mo. Mi ne na ni bantu bamwi bo bele, yenke kwi neku ni neku lyakwe, ni Jesu ne na hakati.
19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Pilato hape na ñola chisupo mi na chibika ha chifapano. Haho ha bañoletwe: JESU WA NAZARETA, SIMWINE WA MAJUDA.
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
Bungi bwa Majuda ni chi ba bala i cho chisupo chokuti chibaka cha ba kokotelwa Jesu chi bena hafuhi ni tolopo. Chisupo chi bañoletwe mu chi Heberu, mu chi Latini, ni mu chi Gerike.
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”
Linu mupurisita mukulwana wa Majuda ni cha wamba kwa Pilato, “Kanji u ñoli, “Simwine wa Majuda; kono u ti, I ye mwine a ba wambi, “Njime ni Simwine wa Majuda.”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
Pilato ne taba, “Chi ni ba ñoli ni ba ñoli.”
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Ha bamana masole ku kokotela Jesu, ni chi bahinda zi zwato zakwe ni ku li abela che inkalulo zone; inkabelo ku isole ni isole, ni chizwato cha hewulu. Kono chizwato che hewulu ke na chibena mapeka, chi ba ku lukililwe hamwina ku zwililila kwiwulu.
24 Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
Linu ni chi ba li wambila a bo beene, “Kanji tu chi ñatuli hakati, kono ni hakwina bulyo tulaule che loto i yo italuhanye kuti ka chi be chani,” I chi chiba chitahali chokuti iñolo li zuzilizwe li wamba kuti, “Ba ba lyiabili zizwato zangu mukati kabo; ba ba lauli che loto chizwato changu.”
25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Masole ba ba chiti izi zintu. Banyina wa Jesu, mwanche u banyina, Maria mwihabwe wa Kulopa, ni Maria Magadalena. A ba banakazi ba bazimene ku chifapano cha Jesu.
26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
Jesu ha bona banyina ni mulutwana ya ba kusuna ni bazimine hembali, na ti ku banyina, “Mwanakazi, bone, mwanako!”
27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
Linu nchati ku mulutwana, “Bone, banyoko!” Kuzwililila he nako yo mulutwana na muhinda ku mutwala kumunzi wa kwe.
28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
Ha kumana ichi Jesu, mukuti a bakwizi kuti zintu zonse linu chi zamana, kuti kwi zuzilizwe mañolo, ati, “Ni fwile inyotwa,”
29 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
Chibikilo chi bezwile i waine i canchumuka chi ba bikitwe aho, linu chi ba bika chiponji chi zwile i waine i chanchumuka ku mutabi we haisopu ni ku inyamwina ku kaholo ka kwe.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Mi Jesu a cha nywine ku i waine i chanchumuka, chati, “Çhi kwamana.” Ni cha kotamisa mutwi wa kwe ni kuha luhuho lwakwe.
31 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
Linu Majuda, chokuti i ba li izuba lya kuli bakanya, ni kuti mibili kanji i shali ha chifapano mu lye Insabata (Mukuti Insabata i bali ya butokwa ahulu), ni chi bakumbila Pilato kucholola matende a bo ni ku bahangula.
32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
Lunu masole chibeza ni kucholola matende a mukwame wa matangilo ni a mukwame wa bubeli ya ba kokotelwe ni Jesu.
33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
Linu ha be za kwa Jesu, chi ba bona kuti cha bafwile kale, chobulyo ka na ba ba muchololi matende.
34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
Ni hakubabulyo, zumwi wa masole cha muhweza mumpati yakwe ni mulinga, mi hohwaho malaha ni menzi ni za zwa.
35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
I ye ya ba boni izi nja bapaki, imi bupaki bwakwe bwe niti. Wizi kuti cha ba wambi i niti njo kuti nanwe bulyo chi muzumina.
36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
Chokuti izi zintu zi ba chitahali cha kwi zuziliza iñolo, “Kakwina nanta chimwina ku zifuha za kwe chete chi cholwe.”
37 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
Hape, limwi iñolo liti, “Ka ba lole kwali iye u ba bahwezi.”
38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
Ha kumana izi zintu Josefa wa Arimatea, sina ha ba li mulutwana wa Jesu (kono cha kuliungula ka lyowa ku Majuda) cha kumbila Pilato heba u wola kuhinda mubili wa Jesu. Pilato cha muha chibaka. Linu Josefa ni cheza ni kuhinda mubili wakwe.
39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
Nekudema na ye cheza, u zo kumatangilo ya bezite kwa Jesu masiku. A baleti i maire i kopenywe ni incenka, cha buima busika ha mwanda wonke.
40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
Linu chi bahinda mubili wa Jesu ni ku u zingelela mu majira a zi zabalo ni mi nunkiso, si na haibali chizo cha Majuda cha kuzika zitupu.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
Linu muchibaka umo mwa ba kankamizwe, kubena luwa lwa zibyalantu; mi mwelyo iwa lya zi byalantu ku bena ikumbu ihya umo musena mu beni ku ungwa muntu kale.
42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
Kakuti i ba li izuba lye intukiso za Majuda mi ni kuti ikumbu li bena hafuhi, ni ba lazika Jesu mwa teni.
