John 19
1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
Mme Pilatwe a fatola mokwatla wa ga Jesu ka thupa,
2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
mme masole a loga serwalo sa mitlwa a se mo rwesa mo tlhogong a bo a mo apesa seaparo se se bohibidu jo bo mokgona.
3 They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
Ba mo sotla ba re, “Dumela, Kgosi ya Bajuta!” Ba bo ba mo itaya ka mabole.
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.”
Pilatwe tswela kwa ntle gape mme a raya Bajuta a re, “Ke ya go mo ntshetsa kwa ntle kwa go lona jaanong, mme legale tlhaloganyang sentle gore nna ga ke mmone molato.”
5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
Mme Jesu a tswela kwa ntle a rwele serwalo sa mitlwa a bile a apere seaparo se se bohibidu jo bo mokgona. Mme Pilatwe a re, “Bonang monna yo!”
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.”
Erile fela fa ba mmona, ditlhogo tsa baperesiti le bagolwane ba Sejuta ba simolola go goa ba re, “A a bapolwe! A a bapolwe!” Pilatwe a re, “Mmapoleng lona, nna ga ke mmone molato.”
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.”
Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Ka melao ya rona o tshwanetse go swa gonne o ipiditse Morwa Modimo.”
8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
Erile fa Pilatwe a utlwa ba bua jalo, a tshoga thata go gaisa malatsi otlhe.
9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
A busetsa Jesu kwa kgotleng ya tshekelo a mmotsa a re, “O tswa kae?” Mme Jesu a seka a ntsha karabo epe.
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?”
Mme Pilatwe a re, “A ga o batle go bua le nna? A ga o lemoge gore ke na le nonofo ya go go golola kgotsa go go bapola?”
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.”
Mme Jesu a re, “O ka bo o sena nonofo epe gotlhelele mo go nna fa o ne o sa e newa e tswa kwa godimo. Mme ba ba ntlisitseng kwa go wena ba na le sebe se segolo.”
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!”
Mme Pilatwe a leka go mo golola, mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba mo raya ba re, “Fa o golola monna yo, ga o tsala ya ga Kaesara. Le fa e le mang yo o ipitsang gore ke Kgosi o tlhabana le Kaesara.”
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.”
Erile Pilatwe a utlwa mafoko a, a ntshetsa Jesu kwa ntle gape kwa go bone mme a nna mo setilong sa tshekelo mo bonnong jo bo dirilweng ka matlapa.
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
E ne jaanong e ka nna motshegare wa sethoboloko pele ga letsatsi la Tlolaganyo. Mme Pilatwe a raya Bajuta a re, “Kgosi ya lona ke e!”
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!”
Mme ba goa ba re, “A a ye koo, A a ye koo, mmapole!” Pilatwe a re, “Lwa reng? Ke bapole Kgosi ya lona? Baperesiti ba bagolo ba goa ba re, Ga re na kgosi epe fa se Kaesara.”
16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
Mme Pilatwe a ba neela Jesu gore a bapolwe.
17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
Jalo Jesu lwa bofelo a tsenngwa mo diatleng tsa bone, mme a tseelwa kwa ntle ga motse, a itshikaretse mokgoro a isiwa kwa lefelong le le bidiwang “Logata.” Ka Sehebera le bidiwa “Gologotha.”
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
Ba feta ba mmapola le ba bangwe teng koo ba le babedi, yo mongwe a bapolwa ka fa letsogong la gagwe la molema, yo mongwe ka fa go la moja, Jesu a le fa gare ga bone.
19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Mme Pilatwe a baya sesupo fa godimo ga ga Jesu se se balegang jaana, “JESU WA NASARETHA, KGOSI YA BAJUTA.”
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.
Lefelo le Jesu a bapoletsweng mo go lone le ne le le gaufi le motse; mme sesupo se ne se kwadilwe ka Selatina le Segerika, gore batho ba le bantsi ba tle ba kgone go se bala.
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.”’”
Mme baperesiti ba bagolo ba raya Pilatwe ba re, “Fetola sesupo mo go reng, ‘Kgosi ya Bajuta’ o se fetolele mo go reng, ‘A re ke Kgosi ya Bajuta’.”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
Pilatwe a fetola a re, “Se ke se kwadileng ke se kwadile. Se nna fela jaaka se ntse.”
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.
Erile masole a sena go bapola Jesu, a baya diaparo tsa gagwe ka mekoanyana e le mene, mongwe le mongwe wa one masole ao a nna le seabe mo mekoanyaneng eo. Mme ba re, “Re seka ra kgagola seaparo sa gagwe,” gonne se ne se sena momeno, “A re se tsheleleng bola (mataese) gore re tle re bone gore se tsewa e mang.” Mo ga diragatsa polelo ya dikwalo e e reng, “Ba kgaogana diaparo tsa me, mme ba tshelela hempe ya me bola.”
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.
25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Se ke sone se ba se dirileng. Gaufi le mokgoro go ne go eme Marea Mma Jesu le mmangwanaagwe ebong mosadi wa ga Kelopase le Marea Magatalena.
26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
Erile fa Jesu a bona mmaagwe a eme foo fa thoko ga me, nna tsala ya gagwe e kgolo, a raya mmaagwe a re, “Ke morwao.”
27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
Nna a nthaya a re, “Ke mmago.” Mme go simolola foo ka mo tseela kwa lwapeng lwa me.
28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
Jesu a itse gore sengwe le sengwe jaanong se weditswe, mme go diragatsa dikwalo a bua a re, “Ke nyorilwe.”
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.
Nkgwana ya mofine o o botsarara e ne e le foo, mme ngami ya inwa mo go yone ya ba ya tlhomelwa ka thupa ya mosiama mme ya tsholelediwa kwa molomong wa gagwe.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Erile fa Jesu a sena go leka mofine ka legano, a re, “Go fedile,” mme a lepeletsa tlhogo a golola mowa wa gagwe.
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.
Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba ne ba sa rate gore batho ba ba bapotsweng ba nne foo go fitlhelela letsatsi le le latelang, le e neng e le Sabata (le gone e le Sabata yo mogolo thata, gonne e ne e le Tlolaganyo) mme ba kopa Pilatwe go laola gore maoto a banna bao a rojwe go re ba swe ka bonako, le gore mebele ya bone e tle e folosiwe.
32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
Mme masole a tla a roba maoto a banna ba babedi ba ba bapotsweng le Jesu;
33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
mme erile fa ba tla kwa go ene, ba bona gore o setse a sule, mme ba seka ba roba a gagwe.
34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
Le fa go ntse jalo, mongwe wa masole a tlhaba lotlhakore lwa gagwe ka segai, mme madi le metsi a elela.
35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
Ke iponetse selo se ka matlho mme ke ntshitse polelo ya boammaaruri gore le lona lo dumele.
36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
Masole a dira jaana a diragatsa seporofeso sa dikwalo se se reng, “Le fa e le lengwe la marapo a gagwe ga le na go rojwa, mme ba tlaa leba kwa go ene yo ba mo tlhabileng.”
37 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
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.
Moragonyana Josefa wa Arimathea, yo a neng a le morutwa wa ga Jesu ka sephiri ka ntlha ya go boifa baeteledipele ba Sejuta, a kopa Pilatwe ka bopelokgale go mo fa tetlelelo ya go tsaya mmele wa ga Jesu; mme Pilatwe a mo raya a re o ka tswelela pele wa ya go o tsaya. Mme a ya teng a ya go o tsaya a tsamaya ka one.
39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
Nikodemo, monna yo a neng a kile a ya kwa go Jesu go le bosigo, a tla le ene a lere lookwane lo lo dirilweng ka mera le aloe lo lo tlhwatlhwa ya makgolo a le mabedi a dipula.
40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
Botlhe ka bobedi ba phutha mmele wa ga Jesu ka leloba le le telele le innwe mo ditlolong tse di nkgang monate, ka e le mokgwa wa Sejuta wa phitlho.
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.
Lefelo la Papolelo le ne le le gaufi le sekgwa sa ditlhare, kwa go neng go na le lebitla le lesha le le neng le ise le ke le dirisiwe.
42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
Mme jalo, ka ntlha ya iketleetso pele ga Sabata, le ka ntlha ya gore lebitla le ne le le gautshwane, ba mo robatsa mo go lone.
