Markos 15
1 Nin shantu kiti nin kui dinding, adidya kutin nlira, nan nalcu kuna, nan nanan niyert a-a vat an lisosin tere tinu, itere Yisa inya ninghe idi nakpa Bilatus ku.
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 Bilatus tinighe, “Fere ugo na Yahudawe?” a kawaghe, “U belle nane re.”
‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ asked Pilate. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
3 A didya kutin nlire dunjo tinu gbardang kitenne Yisa.
Then the chief priests brought a number of charges against him.
4 Bilatus kuru atiringhe, “Na ukawa ba? Lanza tipinpin tongo na idin bellu litife?
So Pilate questioned Jesus again. ‘Have you no reply to make?’ he asked. ‘Listen, how many charges they are bringing against you.’
5 Na Yisa nkuru akawa Bilatus ku Ulliru ba, imone na Bilatus ku umamaki.
But Jesus still made no reply whatever; at which Pilate was astonished.
6 Kubi idi Bilatus asa bunku nani kucin kurum, urika na inin tiringhe.
Now, at the feast, Pilate used to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might ask for.
7 Nan nya nanan licinne among waduku anan firu nnun, nan nya nanan nfiru nune lisa nmong wa di Barabas.
A man called Barabbas was in prison, with the rioters who had committed murder during a riot.
8 Ligozin nanite da kitin Bilatus i woroghe a sü nani imonghe na amene nsue.
So, when the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate to follow his usual custom,
9 Bilatus kawa nanin a woro, “I dinin nsu nsun minu ugoh na Yahudawa?”
he answered, ‘Do you want me to release the “king of the Jews” for you?’
10 Awa yinin bara ivirari nta adidya kutin nlira da nin Yisa kitime.
For he was aware that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had given Jesus up to him.
11 Adidya kutin nlira tula ligozin nanite Ighantin tiwui ibellinghe idinin su ibunku nanin Barabasari ku.
But the chief priests incited the crowd to get Barabbas released instead.
12 Bilatus kawa nanin tutung aworo, “Nene yaghari nba ti nin goh na Yahudawe?”
Pilate, however, spoke to them again, ‘What should I do then with the man whom you call the “king of the Jews”?’
13 Ikuru ighantina tiwui, “Kotinghe kitene kucha!”
Again they shouted, ‘Crucify him!’
14 Bilatus woro nani, “Iyapin imon inanzanghari atah?” Ikuru ighantina tiwuiye, “Kotinghe.”
‘Why, what harm has he done?’ Pilate kept saying to them. But they shouted furiously, ‘Crucify him!’
15 Bilatus wa yita nin su a nonko anite nibineyi, a bunku nani Barabas ku. Na a kpizo Yisa ku anin nakpa nanin ame idi kotinghe.
And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and, after scourging Jesus, gave him up to be crucified.
16 Anan techu natino pira ninghe nanya kutii lipitin, inin yicilla lipitin nan techu natino.
The soldiers then took Jesus away into the courtyard – that is the Government house – and they called the whole garrison together.
17 Ishono Yisa ku kultuk kudya, i peu imart itaghe liti.
They dressed him in a purple robe, and, having twisted a crown of thorns, put it on him,
18 Ichizina ulisuzughe, “i lisofi ugo na Yahudawa!”
and then began to salute him. ‘Long life to you, king of the Jews!’ they said.
19 I kpeghe liti nin likpu, i titizinghe ataf. Izazinghe, itumuzunghe.
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 Na iwa malu usughe liyong, ikalaghe kultuk kudyawẹ, ikpilla i shonghe kunme. I gya ninghe uchin din kotinghe.
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the purple robe, and put his own clothes on him.
21 Ita umong unan katu ayauna kucha nkotunẹ gbas, ulenge na awa nuzu kagin gbiri, lisame Simion kunan Kirawani (uchiffin Alexander nin Rufus).
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 Anan techu natino da nin Yisa nkankiti na idin sumun u Golgotha (kikanga na idin yicu skull).
They brought Jesus to the place which was known as Golgotha – a name which means “place of a Skull.”
23 Iketilne nmyen inabi nin myrrd inaghe anari usonẹ.
There they offered him drugged wine; but Jesus refused it.
24 Ikotinghe kucha inin koso imon me isu maferu feru natimine kitene nimon me iyinin kome kusareri kogha mase.
Then they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots for them, to settle what each should take.
25 Kubi nikoro itat nin kulelenghari iwa kotinghe.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
26 I yertine kulap I tafaghe kuchẹ un bellu kulapi me, “UGOH NA YAHUDAWA.”
The words of the charge against him, written up over his head, read – “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27 Iwa kotinghe ligo nin nakiri a waba, uwarum nchara ulime, uwwarum nchara ugule.
And with him they crucified two robbers, one on the right, and the other on the left.
28 Ulire na iwa su nanya niyertẹ kullo ulenge na iwa bellinng (Imunughe ligowe na nan kulapi).
29 Alle na iwa din katizu libauwe zoguzoghe, izullu atimine mine idin du “Aha” fe ulle na uba turnu Kutin nlira ukuru ukẹ kunin nanya nayiri attat,
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 bollo litife utolu kitene kuche!”
come down from the cross and save yourself!’
31 Nanere wang adidya kutin lira wa dighe liyong ligowe nan nanan niyerte iworo, “Ana tuchu among amini ndari utuchu litime.
In the same way the chief priests, with the teachers of the Law, said to one another in mockery,
32 Na Kristi, ugoh Isaraila tollu kitene kuchan kotine, tinan yene tiyinna.” Allenge na iwa kotin nani ligowe billighe uliru unanzang.
‘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 Kubi kun tochin, kiti tinna kisirou vat udu ikoro in tir.
At midday, a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon.
34 Nin fikoro fin tire Yisa tina ghatina liwui, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabatani?” Ulle na ukpliwe nworo, “Kutellẹ nin, Kutellẹ nin, inyagharin ta usuni?”
And, at three, Jesus called out loudly, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?’ which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
35 Among na iwa yisin kupowe lanza inin woro, “Lanzang adi yichu Iliya ku.”
Some of those standing round heard this, and said, ‘Listen! He is calling for Elijah!’
36 Umong tah uchum adi shintin usoso nmyen mi gbalala, ata likpu, anakpaghe asono. Unite woro, “Nati yene sa Iliya ba da toltinghe.”
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 Yisa ghatina liwui ata kuchulu atinna aku.
But Jesus, giving a loud cry, breathed his last.
38 Kuzeni kongo na kuwa kese kiti kilau kutï nlire tinna kujarta tiba unuzu kitene unuzu kitene uda dak kadas.
The Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 Na unan chawe na awa yising in yenju Yisakun yene aku nani, aworo, “Kidegen unit ulele gono Kutellẹri.”
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 Among awani wang wa yisin npït idin yenjẹ. Nanya mine Maremu Magadaline, Maremu (unan Yakubu ubene nin Yoses), a Solomi.
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 Kube na awadi in Galili iwa dofinghe isuzughe katah. Among awani gbardang wa da ninghe Urushalima.
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 Na kuleleng nta, bara lire wadi lirin kye kitiari, wati liri kafin lin na Sabat,
The evening had already fallen, when, as it was the Preparation day – the day before the Sabbath –
43 Yusufu kunan Armatiya da kite, awa di umong udyawa nanya nanan kutï nlira, ulle na awadin cha ntollu kilari tigoh Kutelle. A tah ayi akone ado adi tiring kidowo Yisa kitin Bilatus.
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 Bilatus lanza umamaki nworu Yisa mal ku; ayichila unan chawe atiringhe sa Yisa mal ku.
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 Na awa lanza kitin na chawa Yisa nmal bku, a na Yusufu ku kidowe.
and, on learning from the officer that it was so, he gave the corpse to Joseph.
46 Yusufe wadi amal seru kumalti. A toltighe kitene kuchẹ a techeghe nya kumaltẹ, adi nonkoghe nanya na tala. Ma anin yillino kutala a tursu kibullung kiseke mun.
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 Maremu Magdaline nin Maremu unan Yoses yene ki kanga na ikasa Yisa kuku.
Mary of Magdala and Mary, the mother of Joseph, were watching to see where he was laid.
