Jan 19
1 Se konsa Pilat bay lòd pran Jezi, bat li byen bat.
After that, Pilate had Jesus scourged.
2 Sòlda yo trese yon kouwòn avèk branch pikan, yo mete l' nan tèt Jezi. Yo mete yon gwo rad wouj fonse sou li.
The soldiers made a crown with some thorns and put it on his head and threw a purple robe round him.
3 Yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di li: Bonjou, wa jwif yo. Epi yo souflete li.
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 Pilat soti ankò, li pale ak foul moun yo, li di: Koute. Mwen pral mennen l' isit la deyò pou nou ka konprann mwen pa jwenn okenn rezon pou m' kondannen nonm sa a.
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 Se konsa, Jezi soti: li te gen kouwòn pikan an nan tèt li ak gwo rad wouj fonse a sou li. Pilat di yo: Men nonm lan!
Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate said to them, ‘Here is the man!’
6 Lè chèf prèt yo ansanm ak gad yo wè l', yo kòmanse rele: Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Pilat di yo: Pran l', kloure l' sou kwa a nou menm. Mwen pa wè rezon pou m' kondannen l', mwen menm.
When the chief priests and the guards 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 Jwif yo reponn li: Nou gen yon lwa. Dapre lwa sa a, li gen pou l' mouri paske li fè tèt li pase pou Pitit Bondye.
‘But we,’ replied the crowd, ‘have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God.’
8 Lè Pilat tande sa, li vin pi pè toujou.
When Pilate heard what they said, he became still more alarmed;
9 Li antre nan palè a, li mande Jezi: Ki kote ou soti? Men, Jezi pa reponn li.
and, going into the Government house again, he said to Jesus, ‘Where do you come from?’
10 Lè sa a, Pilat di li: Ou p'ap pale avè mwen? Ou pa konnen mwen gen pouvwa pou m' lage ou, mwen gen pouvwa pou m' fè yo kloure ou sou yon kwa?
But Jesus made no reply. So Pilate said to him, ‘Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?’
11 Jezi reponn li: Ou pa ta gen okenn pouvwa sou mwen si se pa t' Bondye nan syèl la ki te ba ou li. Se poutèt sa, moun ki lage m' nan men ou lan, li pi koupab pase ou.
‘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 Depi lè sa a, Pilat t'ap chache yon jan pou l' lage Jezi. Men, jwif yo kòmanse rele: Si ou lage nonm sa a, ou pa zanmi Seza! Depi yon moun ap fè tèt li pase pou wa, se lènmi Seza li ye.
This made Pilate anxious to release him; but the crowd shouted, ‘If you release that man, you are no friend of the Emperor! Anyone who makes himself out to be a king is setting himself against the Emperor!’
13 Lè Pilat tande koze sa a, li fè yo mennen Jezi deyò, li chita sou gwo chèz nan plas jij la, kote yo rele Lakou Pave a (an lang ebre yo rele l': Gabata).
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out, and took his seat on the Bench at a place called “The Stone Pavement” – in Hebrew “Gabbatha.”
14 Se te lavèy fèt Delivrans jwif yo, vè midi konsa. Pilat di jwif yo: Men wa nou an.
It was the Passover Preparation day, and about noon. Then he said to the crowd, ‘Here is your king!’
15 Men, yo kòmanse rele: Touye li! Touye li! Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Pilat di yo: Nou vle m' kloure wa nou an sou yon kwa? Chèf pret yo reponn li: Nou pa gen lòt wa pase Seza.
At that the people shouted, ‘Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!’ ‘What! Should I crucify your king?’ exclaimed Pilate. ‘We have no king but the Emperor,’ replied the chief priests;
16 Lè sa a, Pilat renmèt yo Jezi pou y' al kloure l' sou yon kwa. Se konsa, yo pran Jezi, yo mennen l' ale.
so Pilate gave Jesus up to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus;
17 Jezi soti deyò lavil la, li t'ap pote kwa li jouk yon kote yo rele: Zo bwa Tèt la (An lang ebre, yo rele l': Gòlgota).
and he went out, carrying his cross himself, to the place which is named from a skull, or, in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18 Rive la, sòlda yo kloure l' sou kwa a. Anmenmtan yo kloure de lòt moun sou kwa tou, yonn chak bò, Jezi menm nan mitan yo.
There they crucified him, and two others with him – one on each side, and Jesus between them.
19 Pilat te bay lòd pou yo te fè yon pankat pou mete sou tèt kwa a. Yo te ekri sou li: Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, wa jwif yo.
Pilate also had these words written and put up over the cross – “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
20 Anpil jwif te li sa ki te ekri sou pankat la. Kote yo te kloure Jezi sou kwa a te toupre lavil la. Pankat la menm te ekri nan twa lang: ebre, laten ak grèk.
These words were read by many people, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and they were written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.
21 Lè sa a, chèf prèt jwif yo di Pilat konsa: Pa ekri: Wa Jwif yo. Men, ekri pito: Nonm sa a di se wa jwif yo li ye.
The 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 Pilat reponn yo: Sa m' ekri a, m' ekri l' nèt.
But Pilate answered, ‘What I have written, I have written.’
23 Lè sòlda yo fin kloure Jezi sou kou a, yo pran rad li yo, yo fè kat pil ak yo, yo separe yo bay chak sòlda yo yonn. Yo pran gwo rad san kouti a, rad ki te fèt ak yon sèl pyès depi anwo jouk anba a.
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 Sòlda yo yonn di lòt: Nou p'ap chire rad sa a non. Ann tire osò pou konnen pou ki moun l'ap ye. Se konsa, pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre: Yo separe rad mwen ant yo: Yo tire osò pou rad mwen an. Se sa menm sòlda yo te fè.
So they said to one another, ‘Do not let us tear it, but let us cast lots for it, to see who will 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 Bò kwa Jezi a te gen manman l' ak sè manman l', Mari, madanm Kleopas la, ansanm avèk Mari, moun lavil Magdala a.
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 Jezi wè manman l' ansanm ak disip li te renmen an toupre li. Li di manman l' konsa: Madanm, men pitit ou.
When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing near, he said to his mother, ‘There is your son.’
27 Li di disip la: Men manman ou. Depi lè sa a, disip la pran manman Jezi lakay li.
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 Jezi te konnen lè sa a tout bagay ki pou te fèt te fin fèt. Pou fè sa ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre, li di: Mwen swaf.
Afterwards, knowing that everything was now finished, Jesus said, in fulfilment of the words of scripture, ‘I am thirsty.’
29 Te gen yon veso plen venèg bò la. Sòlda yo tranpe yon eponj nan venèg la, yo mare l' nan pwent yon branch bwa yo rele izòp, yo pwoche l', yo mete l' bò bouch Jezi.
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 Lè Jezi fin pran venèg la, li di: Tou sa ki pou te rive rive! Apre sa, li bese tèt li, li mouri.
When Jesus had received the wine, he exclaimed, ‘All is finished!’ Then, bowing his head, he resigned his spirit to God.
31 Se te lavèy jou repo a. Jwif yo pa t' vle pou kadav yo te rete sou kwa yo pandan jou repo a, paske jou repo a te yon gwo jou fèt. Yo mande Pilat pou fè kraze janm moun ki te kloure sou kwa yo, lèfini pou l' te fè wete kadav yo.
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 Se lè sa a, sòlda yo vini, yo kraze janm premye nonm yo te kloure sou kwa menm lè ak Jezi a. Apre sa, yo kraze janm dezyèm lan tou.
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 Men, lè yo rive sou Jezi, yo wè li te gen tan mouri. Se sak fè yo pa t' kraze janm li yo.
but, on coming to him, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 Men, yonn nan sòlda yo pèse bò kòt li avèk yon lans. Lamenm, dlo ak san koule sot nan twou a.
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water immediately flowed from it.
35 Moun k'ap rapòte bagay sa yo te wè yo ak je li. Sa l'ap di a se vre. Li konnen li menm l'ap di laverite, pou nou menm tou nou ka kwè.
This is the statement of one who actually saw it – and his statement may be relied on, and he knows that he is speaking the truth – and it is given in order that you also may be convinced.
36 Tou sa pase konsa pou pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la te ka rive vre: Yo pa kraze yon sèl zo nan kò li.
For all this happened in fulfilment of the words of scripture – “Not one of its bones will be broken.”
37 Gen yon lòt pawòl yo te ekri ankò ki di: Y'a leve je yo gade, y'a wè moun yo te pèse a.
And there is another passage which says – “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
38 Apre sa, Jozèf, moun lavil Arimate a, al mande Pilat pèmisyon pou li te pran kò Jezi. (Jozèf sa a te yon disip Jezi, men an kachèt, paske li te pè jwif yo.) Pilat ba l' pèmisyon an. Se konsa, Jozèf vini, li pran kò Jezi, li pote l' ale.
After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus – but a secret one, owing to his fear of the religious authorities – begged Pilate’s permission to remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him leave; so Joseph went and removed the body.
39 Nikodèm, nonm ki ta l' jwenn Jezi yon lè nan mitan lannwit lan, te vini tou. Li te pote senkant lit konsa yon odè yo rele lami melanje ak lalwa nan lwil.
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 Yo tou de rive, yo pran Jezi. Pandan yo t'ap vlope l' nan bann twal fin yo, yo mete lwil santi bon sou li jan jwif yo te konn fè lè y'ap antere moun.
They took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
41 Kote yo te kloure Jezi sou kwa a te gen yon jaden. Nan jaden an te gen yon kavo tou nèf. Yo pa t' ankò mete pesonn ladan li.
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 Se te lavèy jou repo jwif yo, epi kavo a te toupre. Se sak fè, se la yo te mete kò Jezi a.
And so, because of its being the Preparation day, and as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
