< John 19 >

1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
Ipapo Pirato akatora Jesu akaita kuti arohwe.
2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
Varwi vakaita korona yeminzwa vakaidzika pamusoro wake. Vakamupfekedza nguo dzepepuru
3 They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
vakaenda kwaari vaendazve vachiti, “Kwaziwai, mambo wavaJudha!” Uye vakamurova kumeso.
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.”
Pirato akabuda akatizve kuvaJudha, “Tarirai, ndava kumuisa kwamuri kuti muzive kuti ndashaya mhosva paari.”
5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
Jesu akati abuda kunze akapfeka korona yeminzwa uye nenguo yepepuru, Pirato akati kwavari, “Hoyo munhu!”
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.”
Vaprista vakuru navatariri vavo vakati vachimuona, vakadanidzira vachiti, “Ngaarovererwe! Ngaarovererwe!” Asi Pirato akapindura achiti, “Mutorei imi mumuroverere. Kana ndirini, handiwani mhosva paari.”
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.”
VaJudha vakasimbirira vachiti, “Isu tino murayiro, nomurayiro iwoyo, anofanira kufa, nokuti anozviti Mwanakomana waMwari.”
8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
Pirato akati anzwa izvi akanyanyisa kutya,
9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
uye akadzokerazve mumuzinda. Akasvikobvunza Jesu achiti, “Unobvepiko iwe?” Asi Jesu haana kupindura.
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?”
Pirato akati, “Haudi kutaura neni here? Hauzivi here kuti ndine simba rokukusunungura kana kukuroverera pamuchinjikwa?”
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 akapindura akati, “Haungatongovi nesimba pamusoro pangu kana usina kuripiwa richibva kumusoro. Naizvozvo uyo andiisa kwauri ane mhosva yechivi chikuru.”
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!”
Kubva ipapo zvichienda mberi, Pirato akaedza kusunungura Jesu, asi vaJudha vakaramba vachidanidzira vachiti, “Kana ukasunungura murume uyu, zvoreva kuti hausi shamwari yaKesari. Ani naani anozviti mambo anopikisana naKesari.”
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.”
Pirato akati anzwa izvozvo, akabudisa Jesu kunze uye akagara pachigaro chokutonga panzvimbo inozivikanwa nokunzi: Pakarongwa Mabwe (nechiHebheru pachinzi Gabhata).
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
Rakanga riri zuva rokugadzirira vhiki yePasika, awa inenge yechitanhatu. Pirato akati kuvaJudha, “Hoyu mambo wenyu.”
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!”
Asi vakadanidzira vachiti, “Endai naye! Endai naye! Murovererei!” Pirato akati, “Ndoroverera mambo wenyu here?” Vaprista vakuru vakapindura vachiti, “Hatina mambo isu, asi Kesari.”
16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
Pakupedzisira Pirato akamuisa mumaoko avo kuti arovererwe. Saka varwi vakatora Jesu.
17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
Akatakura muchinjikwa wake, akabuda akaenda kunzvimbo yeDehenya (zvichireva kuti Gorogota muchiHebheru).
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
Ipapo ndipo pavakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa navamwe vaviri, mumwe kuno rumwe rutivi nomumwe kuno rumwe rutivi, uye Jesu ari pakati.
19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Pirato akanyora chiziviso akachiisa pamuchinjikwa. Chaiva chakanyorwa kuti: jesu wenazareta, mambo wavajudha.
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.
VaJudha vazhinji vakaverenga zvakanga zvakanyorwa pachikwangwani ichi, nokuti nzvimbo yakarovererwa Jesu yakanga iri pedyo neguta, uye chikwangwani ichi chaiva chakanyorwa nechiHebheru, chiRatini uye nechiGiriki.
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.”’”
Vaprista vakuru vavaJudha vakati kuna Pirato, “Musanyora kuti, ‘Mambo wavaJudha,’ asi kuti, ‘Munhu uyu akazviti mambo wavaJudha.’”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
Pirato akapindura akati, “Zvandanyora, ndanyora.”
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.
Varwi vakati varoverera Jesu pamuchinjikwa, vakabvisa nguo dzake, vakadziita migove mina, mumwe chete kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo, nguo yomukati iriyo yakasara. Nguo iyi yakanga isina pakasonwa, yakangorukwa kubva kumusoro kusvika pasi.
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.
Vakataurirana vakati, “Ngatiregei kuibvarura. Ngatikandei mujenya tione kuti ndiani achaitora.” Izvi zvakaitika kuti Rugwaro ruzadziswe runoti: “Vakagovana nguo yangu pakati pavo uye vakakanda mijenya pamusoro pechipfeko changu.” Saka izvi ndizvo zvakaitwa navarwi.
25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Pedyo nomuchinjikwa waJesu pakanga pamire mai vake, mununʼuna wamai vake, naMaria mukadzi waKiropasi, naMaria Magadharena.
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 akati aona mai vake ipapo, uye mudzidzi waaida amire pedyo navo, akati kuna mai vake, “Mai, hoyu mwanakomana wenyu,”
27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
uye kumudzidzi akati, “Ava mai vako.” Kubva pazuva iro zvichienda mberi, mudzidzi uyu akavatora akaenda navo kumba kwake.
28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
Shure kwaizvozvo, achiziva kuti zvose zvainge zvapera zvino, uye kuitira kuti Rugwaro ruzadziswe, Jesu akati, “Ndava nenyota.”
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.
Pakanga pane mudziyo waiva nevhiniga ipapo, saka vakanyika chipanje imomo, vakaisa chipanje pachitanda chehisopi, vakachisimudzira kumuromo waJesu.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Akati anwa Jesu akati, “Zvapera.” Nokudaro, akakotamisa musoro wake uye akabudisa mweya wake.
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.
Zvino rakanga riri zuva rokugadzirira, uye mangwana acho, rakanga riri zuva rakasanangurwa reSabata. Nokuda kwokuti vaJudha vakanga vasingadi kuti mitumbi isiyiwe iri pamuchinjikwa panguva yeSabata, vakakumbira Pirato kuti makumbo avo avhunwe uye kuti mitumbi ibviswe.
32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
Naizvozvo varwi vakauya vakavhuna makumbo omunhu wokutanga uyo akanga arovererwa pamwe chete naJesu, uye vakazovhuna omumwe wacho.
33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
Asi vakati vasvika pana Jesu, uye vachiona kuti atofa, havana kuvhuna makumbo ake.
34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
Asi, mumwe murwi akamubaya nepfumo parutivi, pakarepo ropa nemvura zvikabuda.
35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
Murume akazviona ndiye akapa umboo, uye uchapupu hwake ndohwechokwadi. Anoziva kuti ari kutaura chokwadi, uye anopupura kuitira kuti nemiwo mutende.
36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
Zvinhu izvi zvakaitika kuitira kuti Rugwaro ruzadziswe runoti: “Hakuna kana bvupa rake rimwe richavhunwa,”
37 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
uye sezvinoreva rumwe Rugwaro runoti, “Vachatarisa iye wavakabaya.”
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.
Shure kwaizvozvo, Josefa weArimatea akakumbira Pirato kuti apiwe mutumbi waJesu. Zvino Josefa akanga ari mudzidzi waJesu, asi muchivande nokuti aitya vaJudha. Akati abvumirwa naPirato, akauya akatora mutumbi waJesu.
39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
Akanga achiperekedzwa naNikodhimasi, murume uya akashanyira Jesu usiku. Nikodhimasi akauya nezvakavhenganiswa zvemura negavakava, zvinenge makirogiramu makumi matatu namana.
40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
Vakatora mutumbi waJesu, vakauputira vari vaviri nomucheka pamwe chete nezvinonhuhwira. Izvi zvaifambirana netsika dzokuviga dzavaJudha.
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.
Panzvimbo iyo pakarovererwa Jesu pamuchinjikwa, paiva nebindu, uye mubindu imomo, maiva neguva idzva, rakanga risina munhu akamboradzikwamo.
42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
Nokuti rakanga riri zuva rokugadzirira ravaJudha, uye sezvo guva raiva pedyo, vakaradzika Jesu imomo.
