Mak 15
1 Nan granmaten, chèf prèt yo fè yon reyinyon avèk chèf fanmi yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ansanm ak tout manm Gran Konsèy jwif yo pou pran yon desizyon. Apre yo fin mare Jezi, yo mennen l' ale; yo renmèt li bay Pilat.
As soon as it was daylight, the chief priests, after holding a consultation with elders 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.
2 Pilat menm mande li: -Eske ou se wa jwif yo? Jezi reponn li: -Se ou ki di li.
‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ asked Pilate. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
3 Chèf prèt yo te depoze anpil plent sou do li.
Then the chief priests brought a number of charges against him.
4 Pilat mande l' ankò: -Ou pa reponn anyen? Tande tout plent yo depoze sou do ou.
So Pilate questioned Jesus again. ‘Have you no reply to make?’ he asked. ‘Listen, how many charges they are bringing against you.’
5 Men Jezi pa reponn anyen toujou. Sa te fè Pilat sezi anpil.
But Jesus still made no reply whatever; at which Pilate was astonished.
6 Pou chak fèt Delivrans Pilat te konn lage yon prizonye. Se pèp la ki te konn chwazi kilès.
Now, at the feast, Pilate used to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might ask for.
7 Te gen yon nonm yo rele Barabas; li te nan prizon ansanm ak kèk lòt ki t'ap konplote avèk li. Yo te nan prizon poutèt yon nonm yo te touye yon jou yo te pran lezam kont gouvènman an.
A man called Barabbas was in prison, with the rioters who had committed murder during a riot.
8 Foul moun yo moute lakay Pilat; yo pran mande Pilat pou l' lage yon prizonye ba yo jan li te toujou fè a.
So, when the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate to follow his usual custom,
9 Li reponn yo: -Eske nou vle mwen lage wa jwif la ban nou?
he answered, ‘Do you want me to release the “king of the Jews” for you?’
10 Paske li te byen konnen se jalouzi ki te pouse chèf prèt yo mennen Jezi ba li.
For he was aware that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had given Jesus up to him.
11 Men, chèf prèt yo pran tèt pèp la pou yo mande Pilat pou l' lage Barabas pito.
But the chief priests incited the crowd to get Barabbas released instead.
12 Pilat pran lapawòl ankò, li di yo: -Enben, kisa nou vle m' fè avèk nonm yo rele wa jwif la?
Pilate, however, spoke to them again, ‘What should I do then with the man whom you call the “king of the Jews”?’
13 Yo rele byen fò: -Kloure l' sou yon kwa!
Again they shouted, ‘Crucify him!’
14 Pilat di yo: -Men, ki move zak li fè konsa? Yo rele pi fò toujou: -Kloure l' sou yon kwa!
‘Why, what harm has he done?’ Pilate kept saying to them. But they shouted furiously, ‘Crucify him!’
15 Pilat te vle fè pèp la plezi: li lage Barabas ba yo. Apre li fin fè yo bat Jezi byen bat, li renmèt li bay sòlda yo pou y' al kloure l' sou yon kwa.
And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and, after scourging Jesus, gave him up to be crucified.
16 Sòlda yo mennen Jezi anndan bèl lakou a (sa vle di, nan kay kòmandan an). Yo rele tout rejiman sòlda yo vini.
The soldiers then took Jesus away into the courtyard – that is the Government house – and they called the whole garrison together.
17 Yo mete yon gwo rad koulè wouj violèt sou Jezi; yo trese yon kouwòn pikan, yo mete l' nan tèt li.
They dressed him in a purple robe, and, having twisted a crown of thorns, put it on him,
18 Epi yo pran salwe l' konsa: -Bonjou, wa jwif yo!
and then began to salute him. ‘Long life to you, king of the Jews!’ they said.
19 Yo ba l' kou nan tèt avèk yon baton wozo; yo krache sou li, yo mete ajenou, yo bese tèt yo devan li.
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;
20 Apre yo fin pase l' nan betiz kont kò yo, yo wete gwo rad la; yo mete rad pa l' sou li ankò; epi yo mennen l' ale pou yo kloure l' sou yon kwa.
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the purple robe, and put his own clothes on him.
21 Te gen yon nonm yo rele Simon, moun peyi Sirèn, papa Aleksann ak Rifis. Antan Simon sa a t'ap soti nan jaden, li pase bò la, epi sòlda yo fòse msye pote kwa Jezi a.
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.
22 Yo mennen Jezi yon kote yo rele Gòlgota (ki vle di: Plas zo bwa tèt la).
They brought Jesus to the place which was known as Golgotha – a name which means “place of a Skull.”
23 Yo te vle ba li diven melanje ak yon siwo fèt ak lami pou l' te bwè. Men, li pa pran li.
There they offered him drugged wine; but Jesus refused it.
24 Apre yo fin kloure l' sou kwa a, yo separe rad li yo ant yo: yo tire osò pou konnen sa ki t'ap soti pou yo chak.
Then they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots for them, to settle what each should take.
25 Li te nevè nan maten lè yo te kloure l' sou kwa a.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
26 Yo te bay kòz ki fè yo te kondannen l' lan sou yon ti pankat ki te ekri: Wa jwif yo!
The words of the charge against him, written up over his head, read – “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27 Yo te kloure de ansasen sou de lòt kwa, anmenmtan avèk Jezi, yonn sou chak bò.
And with him they crucified two robbers, one on the right, and the other on the left.
28 Se konsa pawòl ki te ekri a vin rive vre: Yo mete l' ansanm ak mechan yo.
29 Moun ki t'ap pase bò la t'ap plede joure l'; yo t'ap fè siy sou li, yo t'ap di: -Ey! Ou menm ki te vle kraze tanp lan pou ou rebati l' nan twa jou,
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,
30 sove tèt ou non, desann sou kwa a.
come down from the cross and save yourself!’
31 Konsa tou, chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap pase l' nan rizib. Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Gade! Li sove lòt moun, li pa ka sove tèt pa li!
In the same way the chief priests, with the teachers of the Law, said to one another in mockery,
32 Se pou Kris la, wa pèp Izrayèl la, desann sou kwa a koulye a. Konsa n'a wè epi n'a kwè. Ata mesye ki te kloure sou lòt kwa yo t'ap joure l' tou.
‘He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the “king of Israel,” come down from the cross now so that we can see it and believe.’ Even the men who had been crucified with Jesus insulted him.
33 Vè midi konsa, vin gen yon fènwa sou tout peyi a, jouk twazè nan apremidi.
At midday, a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon.
34 Vè twazè, Jezi rele byen fò: -Eloyi, Eloyi, lema sabaktani? (ki vle di: Bondye, Bondye, poukisa ou lage m' konsa?)
And, at three, Jesus called out loudly, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?’ which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
35 Nan moun ki te la yo genyen ki te tande l' pale. Yo di: -Koute. Men l'ap rele Eli.
Some of those standing round heard this, and said, ‘Listen! He is calling for Elijah!’
36 Yonn nan yo kouri, li al tranpe yon eponj nan venèg, li mete l' nan pwent yon gòl wozo, li lonje l' bò bouch Jezi ba l' bwè. Epi li di: -Rete! Ann wè si Eli va vin desann li sou kwa a!
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.’
37 Men Jezi bay yon gwo rèl, epi li mouri.
But Jesus, giving a loud cry, breathed his last.
38 Rido ki te nan tanp lan chire an de moso depi anwo jouk anba.
The Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 Te gen yon kaptenn lame kanpe anfas Jezi. Lè l' wè Jezi mouri konsa, li di: -Nonm sa a, se te pitit Bondye tout bon.
The Roman officer, who was standing facing Jesus, on seeing the way in which he breathed his last, exclaimed, ‘This man must indeed have been God’s son!’
40 Te gen kèk fanm la tou; men yo te rete lwen ap gade. Pami yo te gen Mari, moun lavil Magdala a, Mari, manman Ti Jak ak Jòz, ansanm ak Salome.
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 –
41 Medam sa yo t'ap swiv Jezi, se yo ki t'ap okipe l' depi lè l' te nan peyi Galile. Te gen anpil lòt tou ki te moute lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak li.
all of whom used to accompany Jesus when he was in Galilee, and give him support – besides many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.
42 Solèy te fin kouche, se te jou preparasyon jwif yo (ki vle di: lavèy jou repo a).
The evening had already fallen, when, as it was the Preparation day – the day before the Sabbath –
43 Lè sa a Jozèf, yon moun lavil Arimate, vin rive. Se te yon manm respektab nan Gran Konsèy jwif yo. Li menm tou li t'ap tann lè Bondye t'ap vin pran gouvènman an nan men pa li. Li te gen kouraj ale devan Pilat mande kò Jezi.
Joseph from Arimathea, 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.
44 Men, Pilat te sezi lè l' vin konnen Jezi te gen tan mouri. Li voye rele kaptenn lan, li mande l' si Jezi te mouri depi lontan.
But Pilate was surprised to hear that he had already died. So he sent for the officer, and asked if he were already dead;
45 Lè kaptenn lan fin ba li repons sèten, li bay Jozèf kò a.
and, on learning from the officer that it was so, he gave the corpse to Joseph.
46 Jozèf achte yon bèl dra blan, li desann kò Jezi sou kwa a, li vlope l' nan dra a, epi li mete l' nan yon kavo yo te fouye nan wòch la. Apre sa, li woule yon gwo wòch devan bouch kavo a.
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.
47 Mari, moun lavil Magdala a, ansanm ak Mari, manman Jòz, t'ap gade kote yo mete kò a.
Mary of Magdala and Mary, the mother of Joseph, were watching to see where he was laid.
