Markos 15
1 Eta bertan goicean conseillu eduquiric Sacrificadore principaléc Ancianoequin eta Scribequin eta consistorio guciarequin, estecaturic Iesus eraman ceçaten, eta liura cieçoten Pilati.
Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
2 Orduan interroga ceçan, hura Pilatec, Hi aiz Iuduen Reguea? Eta harc ihardesten çuela erran cieçón, Hic dioc.
Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
3 Eta anhitz gauçaz accusatzen çutén hura Sacrificadore principaléc.
Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
4 Eta Pilatec berriz interroga ceçan, cioela, Eztuc deus ihardesten? huná, cembat gauçaz hire contra testificatzen dutén.
So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
5 Baina Iesusec deus etzeçan guehiagoric ihardets: hala non miresten baitzuen Pilatec.
But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
6 Eta bestan largatzen ohi cerauen presonerbat, ceinen-ere esca bailitez.
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
7 Eta cen Barabbas deitzen cembat presonér seditioneco lagunequin, heriotze mutinationez eguin çuenic.
[At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
8 Eta oihuz iarriric populua has cedin escatzen eguin liecén bethiere eguin vkan cerauen beçala.
A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
9 Eta Pilatec ihardetsi cerauen, cioela, Nahi duçue larga dieçaçuedan Iuduén Regueá?
Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
10 (Ecen baceaquian nola hura inuidiaz liuratu çutén Sacrificadore principaléc)
[He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
11 Eta Sacrificadore principaléc incita ceçaten populua lehen Barabbas larga liecén.
But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
12 Eta Pilatec ihardesten çuela, berriz erran ciecén, Cer bada nahi duçue daguiodan Iuduén Regue deitzen duçuen huni?
Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
13 Eta hec berriz oihu eguin ceçaten, Crucifica eçac.
Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
14 Eta Pilatec erraiten cerauen, Baina cer gaizqui eguin du? Eta hec hambat oihu guehiago eguin ceçaten, Crucifica eçac.
Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
15 Pilatec bada populuaren gogara eguin nahiz, larga ciecen Barabbas, eta Iesus açotaturic liura ciecén crucifica ledinçat.
So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
16 Orduan gendarmesec eraman ceçaten hura sala barnera, cein baita pretorioa, eta dei ceçaten banda gucia.
The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
17 Eta vezti ceçaten hura escarlataz, eta inguru eçar cieçoten buruan elhorri plegatuzco coroabat.
[After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
18 Eta has citecen haren salutatzen, cioitela, Vngui hel daquiala, Iuduen Regueá.
Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
20 Guero harçaz truffatu ciradenean, eraunz cieçoten escarlatazcoa, eta vezti ceçaten bere abillamenduéz: eta camporat eraman ceçaten crucifica leçatençat.
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
21 Eta bortcha ceçaten bideazco Simon Cyreniano deitzen cembat, landetaric heldu cela, (cein baitzén Alexandreren eta Ruforen aita) haren crutzea eraman leçançat.
[After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
22 Guero eraman ceçaten Golgothaco lekura, cein erran nahi baita, Bur-heçur lekua.
They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
23 Guero eman cieçoten edatera mahatsarno myrrharequin nahasteca, baina harc etzeçan har
Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
24 Eta crucificatu çutenean, parti citzaten haren abillamenduac, çorthe egotziric hayén gainean, norc cer ioan leçaqueen.
[Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
25 Ciraden bada hirur orenac hura crucificatu çutenean.
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26 Eta cen haren causaren inscriptionea hunela scribatua, IVDVEN REGVEA.
They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
27 Eta harequin crucifica citzaten bi gaichtaguin: bata haren escuinean, eta bercea ezquerrean.
They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
28 Eta compli cedin Scriptura dioena, Eta gaizquiguilequin estimatu içan da.
29 Eta iragaiten ciradenéc iniuriatzen çuten bere buruac higuitzen cituztela, eta cioitela, He, templea deseguiten eta hirur egunez edificatzen duaná.
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
30 Empara eçac eure buruä, eta iautsi adi crutzetic.
[If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
31 Halaber Sacrificadore principalec-ere escarnioz elkarri erraiten ceraucaten Scribequin, Berceac emparatu ditu, bere buruä ecin empara deçaque.
The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
32 Christ Israeleco Reguea iauts bedi orain crutzetic, ikus eta sinhets deçagunçat. Harequin crucificatu içan ciradenec-ere iniuriatzen çutén.
He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
33 Baina sey orenac ciradenean, ilhumbe eguin cedin lur guciaren gainean bedratzi orenetarano
At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
34 Eta bedratzi orenetan oihu eguin ceçan Iesusec ocengui, Eloi, Eloi, lammasabachthani? erran nahi baita, Ene Iaincoa, Ene Iaincoa, ceren abandonnatu nauc?
At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
35 Eta han ciradenetaric batzuc ençun çutenean, cioiten, Huná, Elias deitzen du.
When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
36 Laster eguin ceçan bada batec, eta spongiabat betheric vinagrez, eta eçarriric canabera baten inguruän, eman cieçón edatera, cioela, Vtzaçue: dacussagun eya ethorriren denez Elias horren kencera.
One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
37 Eta Iesusec oihu handibat eguinic, spiritua renda ceçan.
And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
38 Eta templeco velá erdira cedin bi çathitara garaitic behererano.
[At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
39 Eta ikus ceçanean haren aurkan cegoen Centenerac, ecen hala oihu eguinic spiritua rendatu çuela, erran ceçan, Eguiazqui guiçon haur Iaincoaren Semea cen.
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
40 Eta baciraden emazteac-ere vrrundanic beha ceudela, ceinén artean baitzen Maria Magdalena, eta Maria Iacques chipiaren eta Iosesen amá, eta Salome.
There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
41 Eta hec, Galilean cenaz gueroztic iarreiqui içan çaizcan eta cerbitzatu vkan çuten: eta anhitz berce emazte harequin batean Ierusalemera igan içan ciradenic.
42 Eta arrastu cenean (ceren Sabbathoaren aitzinetic den preparationeco eguna baitzén)
When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
43 Ethorriric Ioseph Arimatheacoa, conseillér ohoratua, hura-ere Iaincoaren resumaren beguira cegoena, ausart cedin Pilatgana sartzera, eta esca cequión Iesusen gorputzaren.
44 Eta Pilatec miresten çuen baldin ia hil baliz: eta Centenera deithuric, interroga ceçan hura, eya baçuenez heuraguiric hil cela.
Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
45 Eta gauçá eçaguturic Centeneraganic, eman cieçón gorputza Iosephi.
When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
46 Eta harc mihissebat erossiric, eta hura erautsiric estal ceçan mihisseaz: eta eçar ceçan arroca batetan ebaquia cen monumentean: eta itzuliz eçar ceçan harribat monument borthán.
After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
47 Eta Maria Magdalena eta Maria Iosesen ama, beha ceuden non eçarten cen.
Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
