Mark 15
1 Muna nsuka bapfumu banganga Nzambi, bakulutu ba dibundu, minlongi mi Mina ayi batu babo ba lukutukunu lunneni bakutakana. Bakanga yesu, bannata ayi banyekula mu mioko mi Pilatu.
Early in the morning, the chief priests met together with the elders and scribes and the entire Jewish council. Then they bound Jesus and led him away. They handed him over to Pilate.
2 Pilatu wunyuvula: —Ngeyo widi Ntinu wu Bayuda? Yesu wumvutudila: —Ngeyo veka tubidi buawu!
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “You say so.”
3 Bosi bapfumu banganga Nzambi zimvubudila mambu mawombo.
The chief priests were presenting many charges against Jesus.
4 Pilatu wunyuvula diaka: —Wulendi vutula kadi diambu ko? Wulembo wi mambu momo balembo kumfundila?
Pilate again asked him, “Do you give no answer? See how many charges they are bringing against you!”
5 Vayi Yesu kasia vutula diaka kadi diambu dimosi ko. Buna Pilatu wusimina ngolo.
But Jesus no longer answered Pilate, and that amazed him.
6 Kifu kiba yawu mu thangu nyengo, Pilatu wuba totulanga mutu wumosi mu nloko, woso mutu wuba nlombongo kuidi batu.
Now at the time of the feast, Pilate usually released to them one prisoner, a prisoner they requested.
7 Vayi mutu wumosi wuba mu nloko, dizina diandi Balabasi, wukangu va kimosi ayi bakundi bandi bu batotula khindu. Muna khindu beni bavondila mutu.
There with the rebels in prison, among the murderers held for their part in the rebellion, was a man named Barabbas.
8 Nkangu wu batu wuyamikina, wunlomba kavanga banga bobo keta ku bavangilanga.
The crowd came to Pilate and began to ask him to do for them as he had done in the past.
9 Pilatu wuba yuvula: —Lutidi ndilutotudila Ntinu wu Bayuda e?
Pilate answered them and said, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10 Bila wuzaba mboti ti bapfumu banganga Nzambi zinyekudila Yesumu diambu di kikhenene.
For he knew that it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
11 Vayi bapfumu banganga Nzambi zikambisila nkangu wu batu ti wulomba katotula Balabasi.
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to cry out that Barabbas should be released instead.
12 Pilatu wuba yuvula e? —A vayi mbi lutidi phangila mutu wowo luntedilanga ntinu wu Bayuda?
Pilate answered them again and said, “What then should I do with the King of the Jews?”
13 Babo babuela yamikina: —Wumbanda va dikulusi!
They shouted again, “Crucify him!”
14 Pilatu wuba yuvula: —Diambu mbi di mbimbi kavengi e? Vayi baluta yamikina ngolo: —Wumbanda va dikulusi!
Pilate said to them, “What wrong has he done?” But they shouted more and more, “Crucify him.”
15 Pilatu wuzola monisa nkangu wu batu khini, diawu kabatotudila Balabasi. Bu kamana zubisa Yesu bikoti ayi wuba yekudila niandi muingi bambanda va dikulusi.
Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, so he released Barabbas to them. He scourged Jesus and then handed him over to be crucified.
16 Masodi manata Yesu ku luphangu, buangu kioki beti sambisila batu, bakutikisa masodi moso.
The soldiers led him inside the courtyard (which is the government headquarters), and they called together the whole cohort of soldiers.
17 Bamvuika yunga kimbuaki. Buna bamana vanga phu ki kipfumu ki zitsendi; bamvuika kiawu ku ntu.
They put a purple robe on Jesus, and they twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on him.
18 Buna bamvana mboti: —Mbote, ntinu wu Bayuda!
They began to salute him and say, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19 Baba kunzubanga nti ku ntu, banlobudila madita ayi bamfukiminaayi baba kumvananga minzitusu.
They struck his head with a reed staff and they spat on him. They bent their knees before him to pretend to worship him.
20 Buna bamana kunsekinina, bamvula yunga beni kimbuaki ayibamvuika minledi miandi; bosi bannata ku nganda muingi bambanda va dikulusi.
When they had mocked him, they took off of him the purple robe and put his own garments on him, and then led him out to crucify him.
21 Mutu wumosi muisi Silene, dizina diandi Simoni, dise di Alekizandele ayi Lufusi, wuba ku nsitu. Vioka kuandi kaba mviokila mu nzila beni. Vayi masodi buna mammona, mankuika kanata dikulusi di Yesu.
A certain man, Simon of Cyrene, was coming in from the country (he was the father of Alexander and Rufus), and they forced him to carry his cross.
22 Banata Yesu va buangu kintedulungu “Ngolongota”. Tsundu Ngolongota “buangu ki mvesi wu ntu.”
The soldiers brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which interpreted means, “Place of a Skull”).
23 Kuna bamvanina vinu kisobokoso ayi mila muingi kanua, vayi kasia kinua ko.
They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not drink it.
24 Bu bambanda va dikulusi, bakabana minledi miandi, babudila miawutsombo mu diambu di zaba miomi kadika mutu kafueti tambula.
They crucified him and divided up his garments by casting lots to determine what piece each soldier would take.
25 Yiba nduka-nduka thangu yi vua yi nsuka mu thangu bambanda va dikulusi.
It was the third hour when they crucified him.
26 Tini ki dibaya kisonama bila kioki bamfundila, kisonama mambu mama: “Ntinu wu Bayuda”.
On a sign they wrote the charge against him, “The king of the Jews.”
27 Bidovula biodi bibandu mu makulusu va kimosi ayi Yesu; wumosi ku koko ku lubakala, wunkaka ku koko ku lumoso. [
With him they crucified two robbers, one on the right of him and one on his left.
28 Buawu bobo budedikinina mambu momo masonama mu Minkanda: “Bantula mu nkangu wu batu bambimbi.”]
29 Batu bobo baviokila vana, bamfinga, banikuna mintu ayi bakamba: —E e ngeyo! Ngeyo wuntiolumunanga Nzo Nzambi ayi wukuyitungilanga mu bilumbu bitatu!
Those who passed by insulted him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
30 Wukivukisa ngeyo veka; bosi kuluka va dikulusi!
save yourself and come down from the cross!”
31 Bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi minlongi mi mina mamvawubansekinina. Bakambasana bawu na bawu: —Wuvukisidi batu bankaka vayi niandi veka kalendi kukivukisa ko!
In the same way the chief priests were mocking him with each other, along with the scribes, and said, “He saved others, but he cannot save himself.
32 Bika Klisto ntinu wu Iseli kakuluka buabu va dikulusi muingi tumona ayi tuwilukila! Bobo babandu yandi va dikulusi, mamvawu bamfinga.
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe,” and those who were crucified with him also taunted him.
33 Mu thangu midi, tombi kibua mu tsi yimvimba, kizingila natemu thangu yi ntatu yi masika.
At the sixth hour, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 —Mu thangu yintatu, Yesu wuyamikina mu ndinga yingolo: —Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabakatani! Bu dinsundula: Nzambi ama! Nzambi ama! Bila mbi wundiekudi!
At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
35 Batu bankaka baba vana bu bawa bobo batuba: —Tala Eli kantela.
Some of those standing by heard his words and said, “Look, he is calling for Elijah.”
36 Wumosi wuzawula ayi wuyenda buika tini ki eponzi mu vinu ki ngami, wukisomika va tsongi nti ayi wutambika Yesu muingi kanua; bu katuba: —Bika, tutala kani Eli makiza nkulula.
Someone ran, put sour wine on a sponge, put it on a reed staff, and gave it to him to drink. The man said, “Let us see if Elijah comes to take him down.”
37 Vayi Yesu wuyamikina ngolo ayi wuzenga vumunu.
Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and died.
38 Muna thangu beni lido yi Nzo Nzambi yikanzuka mu zindambuzizole; tona ku yilu nate ku tsi.
The curtain of the temple was split in two from the top to the bottom.
39 Nkulutu wu masodi, wutalana ayi Yesu, bu kamona ti wutabukavumunu mu yamikina bobo, buna wutuba: —Bukiedika, mutu wawu bedi Muana Nzambi!
When the centurion who stood and faced Jesus saw that he had died in this way, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God.”
40 Vaba diaka ayi ndambu yi baketo baba ntadilanga ku thama. Mu bawu muba: Maliya muisi Mangadala, Maliya ngudi yi Zaki di nleki wu Yose ayi ngudi yi Salome.
There were also women who looked on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary (the mother of James the younger and of Joses), and Salome.
41 Bawu baba kunlandakananga, baba kunsadisanga mu thangu kaba ku Ngalili. Baketo bankaka bawombo bayiza yandi va kimosi ku Yelusalemi baba vana.
When he was in Galilee they followed him and served him. Many other women also came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 Mu thangu masika, mu lumbu ki khubumunu, buna lumbu kimosi kisiedimuingi lumbu ki saba kiba.
When evening had come, because it was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 Zozefi muisi Alimate wuyiza. Wuba mutu wunneni mu lukutukunu lunneni lu Bayuda. Niandi mamvandi wuba vingilanga ndizulu yi Kipfumu ki Nzambi; wuyenda mu bukhafi boso kuidi Pilatu mu kunlomba nitu yi Yesu.
Joseph of Arimathea came there. He was a respected member of the council, who was waiting for the kingdom of God. He boldly went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
44 Pilatu wusimina bu kawa ti Yesu fuidingi. Buna wutumisa pfumu yi masodi ayi wunyuvula keni thama kafuidingi.
Pilate was amazed that Jesus was already dead; he called the centurion and asked him if Jesus was dead.
45 Bu kawa buawu kuidi pfumu yi masodi, buna wuvana Zozefi minsua mu bonga nitu yi Yesu.
When Pilate learned from the centurion that Jesus was dead, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 Zozefi bu kasumba dikendi diphembi di thalu, wubotula mvumbi yi Yesu va dikulusi, wuyizinga va dikendi beni bosi wuyizika mu ziami kisokolomu ditadi; wunengumuna ditadi vana muelo ziami.
Joseph had bought a linen cloth. He took him down from the cross, wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of a rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
47 Maliya muisi Mangadala ayi Maliya ngudi yi Yose bamona buangu kioki bantula.
Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw the place where Jesus was buried.
