Yuhana 19
1 Bilatus yira Yesu ku adi kpizughe.
Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.
2 A soja pio imart i kyeghe litappa mun. I shono linin litin Yesu inin shonghe inin diuu.
And the soldiers, twisting twigs of thorn into a wreath, put it on His head, and threw round Him a crimson cloak.
3 I da kitime I woro, “Idin lissufi, ugo na Yahudawa!” Inin fighe nin nacara mine.
Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, "Hail King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.
4 Bilatus kuru anuzu a woro anite, “Yeneng, ndin cinu unutunu minu unite ndas inan nyinno nan seghe nin kulapi ba.”
Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "See, I am bringing him out to you to let you clearly understand that I find no crime in him."
5 Yesu tunna a nuzu; awadi nin tilapa nimart litime a imon iduwe kidowo me. Bilatus woro nani, “Yeneng unite ule!”
So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, "See, there is the man."
6 Na udya na Priest nin na soja nyene Yesu ku. I ta ntet iworo “Na ikottunghe kuca, na ikottunghe kuca!” Bilatus woro nani, “yiranghe ussaminu idi kotinghe kuce, bara na meng seghe nin kulapi ba.”
As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, find no crime in him."
7 A Yahudawa kawa Bilatus ku iworoghe, “Tidi nin duka, tutung bara ubellu leli uduke, ucaun aku, bara na ata litime aso Usaun Kutelle.”
"We," replied the Jews, "have a Law, and in accordance with that Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God."
8 Na Bilatus nlaza uleli ulire, fiu kpina jukifughe kang,
More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.
9 akuru apira kudarun sharawe tutung a woro Yesu ku, “Una dak unuzun nweri?” Na Yesu kawaghe ba.
"What is your origin?" he asked. But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Bilatus kuru a woroghe, “Na uma lirunu nin ba? Na uyiru ndi ni likara nsunfi u nya nkuru nyita nin likara nti ikottun fi kuca ba?”
"Do you refuse to speak even to me?" asked Pilate; "do you not know that I have it in my power either to release you or to crucify you?"
11 Yesu kawaghe a woro na uwasa uyita nin likara litinin ba, andi na inafi unuzu kitene kani ba. Ulenge na a nakpafi meng ku katin nin kulapi.”
"You would have had no power whatever over me," replied Jesus, "had it not been granted you from above. On that account he who has delivered me up to you is more guilty than you are."
12 Nin leli ukpinue, Bilatus wa pizuru nworu a sughe, ama a Yahudawa jartiza kang iworo, “Asa usuna unit ulele, nafe udondong Nkaisarari ba: Vat nlenge na ana litime tigo, adin nliru ule na Kaisar din lanzu nman nin ba.”
Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar."
13 Na Bilatus nlaza uleli ulire, anutuno Yesu ku ndas, aso kutet nshara kiti kanga na idin yiccu upaviment, nin ti Ibranaci lisse Gabbata.
On hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judge's seat in a place called the Pavement--or in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Liri nshirin Npaskari wadi, kusari nikoro kutocin. Biltus woro a Yahudawe, “Yeneng ugo mine ule!”
It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "There is your king!"
15 Ijarta kang i woro, Can ninghe, can ninghe; kottunoghe kuca!” Bilatus woro nani, “Meng kottin ugo mine?” Udya na Priest kawwa, “Na tidi nin mong ugo ba se Kaisar.”
This caused a storm of outcries, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Am I to crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king, except Caesar," answered the High Priests.
16 Bilatus kurtuno nani Yesu ku, idin ikottunghe kucan.
Then Pilate gave Him up to them to be crucified. Accordingly they took Jesus;
17 I yira Yesue ku, a nuzu udas, a yauna kuca ndi kottunu me usanme, ucindu kite na idin yiccu kin ku kankan liti. kanga na idin yiccu nin ti Yahudawa Golgota.
and He went out carrying His own cross, to the place called Skull-place--or, in Hebrew, Golgotha--
18 I kottuno Yesu ku kuca kikane, ligowe ninghe among naba, kolome likt me unit urum, a Yesu kitik mine.
where they nailed Him to a cross, and two others at the same time, one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Bilatus yertine nkon kulap ndursu a bana kitene kuce. Iwa su iyerte nenge: YESU NNAZARET, UGO NA YAHUDAWA.
And Pilate wrote a notice and had it fastened to the top of the cross. It ran thus: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Gbardang na Yahudawa wa bellu iyete ine, bara kite na iwa kottun Yesu ku kuce wa di susut nin kipine. Iwa su iyerte nin ti Yahudanci, ti Romawa a ti Helenawa.
Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was in three languages--Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Udya na Priest na Yahudawe woro Bilatus ku, “Na uwa yertin 'ugo na Yahudawa ba' mbara uworo, ame na woro, 'Meng ugo na Yahudawari.'”
This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. "You should not write 'The King of the Jews,'" they said, "but that he claimed to be King of the Jews."
22 Bilatus kawaghe a woro, “Imong ile na nyerti, nmal yerunari une.”
"What I have written I have written," was Pilate's answer.
23 Na a soja nkottuno Yesue ku, i yauna ugudun me i kosso uni niti ninas, ko kome kusoja nin kusari kitime; nanere wang kultukke. Kulutukke wadi nin tutun ku ba, iwa ke kunin sundulunghari.
So the soldiers, as soon as they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, including His tunic, and divided them into four parts--one part for each soldier. The tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
24 I woro nati mine, “Na tiwa marya kunin ba, nbaa ira ti dinja timoku tiyene sa kuma so kunghari.” Uwaso nani uliru Kutelle na iwa bellin nenge nan kulo, “Iwa kossu tigudun nin nati mine, imon nin tutung i dinja timo ku.”
So they said to one another, "Do not let us tear it. Let us draw lots for it." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They shared my garments among them, and drew lots for my clothing." That was just what the soldiers did.
25 Asoje wassu ileli imone. Unan Yesu, gwana nne, Maryamu uwanin Kilopas, a Maryamu Magdaliya- awanin alele wa yissin susut nin kuca nkottunun Yesu.
Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
26 Na Yesu yene unene nin gono katwa me na wadi nin sume yissin susut kupo me, a woro nna me, “uwani, yene, gonofe kanga!”
So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, "Behold, your son!"
27 A woro gono katwa we, “Yene, unafe ule!” Nanya kubi konere nono katwa we wa yirughe ucin du mun ngame.
Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that time the disciple received her into his own home.
28 Kimal nani nin yirun Yesu, nworu imon vat nmala, anan ta uliru Kutelle nan so kidegen, a woro, “Ayin kotoi.”
After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought to an end, said--that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "I am thirsty."
29 KItene lissu nmyen mi gbalala wa duku, I buro lissut likpu jangarang i shono nanya nmyen mi gbalale, i taghe nnuu.
There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
30 Na Yesu nciro nmyen mi gbalale, a woro “Imone nmala.” A tumu litime, a suna nfip me.
As soon as Jesus had taken the wine, He said, "It is finished." And then, bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
31 Kubi nshiriari wadi, bara iwa sun nidowo kitene naca nkottunu liri na Sabbat (bara liri na Sabbat liri lidya wari), a Yahudawa tirino Bilatus ku nworu a yinnin nani idi pucu abunu na lenge na ibana nani naca, inan toltino nidowo mine kutyin.
Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs of the dying men broken, and the bodies removed.
32 A soja da ida puco abunu na le na ikotuno nani kuca ligowe nin Yesu.
Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus.
33 Na ida kitin Yesu, Ise amal ku, na i puco abunu me ba.
Then they came to Jesus Himself: but when they saw that He was already dead, they refrained from breaking His legs.
34 Vat nani, nkon kusoja buro lipala me nin liyop, nmii nin myen nuzu kitene dedei.
One of the soldiers, however, made a thrust at His side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 Ulenge na ana yene ilenge imone, nati iyizi nba, iyizi nba me kidegenere. Ayiru nworu ulire na ana belli kidegenere, bara anung wang nan yinna.
This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true. He knows that he is telling the truth--in order that you also may believe.
36 Ilenge imone na se, bara uliru Kutelle nan kulo, “Na ina puru liku me ko lirum ba.”
For all this took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled which declares, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."
37 Tutung umong uliru Kutelle wa belli “Ima yenjughe ame ulenge na iwa burughe.”
And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they have pierced."
38 Kimal ni leli imone, Yusufun Armatiya, ame wang wa di gono katwan Yesu, ama nanya liyeshinbar fiu na Yahudawa, awa tirin Bilatus ku anan se ayira kidowon Yesu. Bilatus wa yinninghe mu. Yusufe da ada yira kidowo me.
After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and removed the body.
39 Nikodimo wang wa dak, ame ulenge na awa tu ada kitin Yesu nin kitik. A wa munu nnuf Myrth nin aloes adamun, ngetek mini wa durun ngetek nimon ngucu kiti akalt likure.
Nicodemus too--he who at first had visited Jesus by night--came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about seventy or eighty pounds.
40 Inani wa yaun kidowon Yesu i tere nin kusu kuba kubo a nnuf kunya kumang, nafo utanda na Yahudawa andi ima kasu libi.
Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of preparing for burial.
41 Kitene na iwa kottunghe kuce kunen wa duku; nanya kunene kissek waduku kipesse kanga na iwa di isa kassa unit ku ba.
There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
42 Bara lirin shiriari wa di a Yahudawa, tutung kiti kisseske wa di susut, inani wa nonko Yesu ku nanya kini.
Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, they put Jesus there.
