John 19
1 Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus, and scourged him.
Kangi, Pilatu akalagiza vamtola Yesu na kumtova michapilu.
2 And, the soldiers, plaiting a crown out of thorns, placed it upon his head, and, a purple robe, cast they about him;
Vala manjolinjoli vakabota njingwa ya minga, vakamuwalika kumutu, vakamuwalika nyula ya chinkosi langi ya zambalau.
3 and kept coming unto him, and saying—Joy to thee! O King of the Jews!—and were giving unto him smart blows.
Vakavya kumbwelela palongolo yaki na kujova, “Tikuwoni, Nkosi wa Vayawudi!” Kuni vakumpamanda.
4 And Pilate went forth again outside, and saith unto them—See! I lead him unto you outside, that ye may take knowledge, that, no single fault, do I find in him.
Pilatu akahuma kuvala kavili, akaujovela msambi wula, “Lola, nikumgotola mundu uyu kwinu, muhotola kumanya kuvya nene nichiwene lepi chindu chochoha cheabudili cha kumuhamula.”
5 Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, wearing the thorn crown, and the purple mantle. And he saith unto them—Lo! the Man!
Hinu, Yesu, akahuma kuvala kuni awalili njingwa ya minga na nyula ya chinkosi. Pilatu akavajovela, “Mlola! Mundu mwene ndi uyu.”
6 When, therefore, the High-priests and the officers saw him, they cried aloud, saying—Crucify! Crucify! Pilate saith unto them—Ye, take him, and crucify; for, I, find not in him, a fault.
Vakulu va kuteta na valonda pavamuwene vakayangula. “Mvambayi pamsalaba! Mvambayi pamsalaba!” Pilatu akavajovela. “Mwavene mumtola hinu, mukamvamba muni nene nichiweni lepi chindu cheabudili.”
7 The Jews answered him—We, have, a law, and, according to the law, he ought to die, because, Son of God, himself, he made.
Vayawudi vakamyangula, “Tavete tivii nagu Malagizu, na malagizu gitu gijova, yikumgana afwayi, ndava mwene ajidetekisi kuvya Mwana wa Chapanga.”
8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid;
Pilatu peagayuwini malovi ago, akayogopa neju.
9 and entered into the judgment-hall again, and saith unto Jesus—Whence, art, thou? But, Jesus, gave him no, answer.
Kangi Pilatu akayingila munyumba ya unkosi, akamkota Yesu, “Veve uhumili koki?” Nambu Yesu amyangwili lepi chindu.
10 Pilate, therefore, saith unto him—Unto me, dost thou not speak? Knowest thou not, that, authority, have I to release thee, and, authority, have I to crucify thee?
Pilatu akamjovela, “Wu, wibela kulongela na nene? Wu, umanyi lepi kuvya nene nihotola kukudindulila na nihotola kulagiza uvambiwa pamsalaba?”
11 Jesus answered him—Thou couldst have had no authority against me, at all, if it had not been given unto thee from above. Therefore, he that delivered me unto thee, hath, greater sin.
Yesu akamyangula, “Ngauvi lepi na uhotola panani yangu changali kupewa na Chapanga. Ndava yeniyo yula mweaniletili kwaku ambudili neju.”
12 For this cause, Pilate, began seeking to release him; but, the Jews, cried aloud saying—If this man thou release, thou art not a friend of Caesar, for, every one who maketh himself king, speaketh against Caesar.
Kutumbula penapo, Pilatu alonda njila ya kumlekekesa Yesu, nambu Vayawudi vakaywanga. “Ngati umlekekisi mundu uyu, veve nkozi lepi wa nkosi wa ku Loma, mundu yoyoha mweajikita kuvya nkosi akumpinga nkosi mkulu wa Loma!”
13 Pilate, therefore, when he heard these words, led Jesus outside, and sat down upon a raised seat, in a place called Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
Hinu, Pilatu peayuwini malovi ago akamuhumisa Yesu kuvala, akatama pachigoda cha uhamula, pandu pepikemelewa “Luvanja lwelutengenizwi kwa maganga.” Amala kwa Chiebulania Gabata.
14 Now it was the preparation of the passover, —it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews—See! your King!
Yavi lukumbi lwa muhi, ligono la kutendelekela Pasaka. Pilatu akavajovela Vayawudi, “nkosi winu ndi uyu!”
15 They, therefore, cried aloud—Away! away! Crucify him! Pilate saith unto them—Your king, shall I crucify? The High-priests answered—We have no king but Caesar!
Vene vakaywanga, “Mkomayi! Mkomayi! Mvambayi pamsalaba?” Pilatu akavakota, “Wu, nimvamba pamsalaba nkosi winu?” Vakulu va kuteta vakayangula, “Tete tivii lepi na nkosi yungi nambu nga nkosi wa ku Loma!”
16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.
Hinu, Pilatu akamgotola Yesu mumawoko gavi muni vamvambayi pamsalaba. Manjolinjoli, vakamtola Yesu.
17 And, bearing for himself the cross, he went forth unto the so-called Skull-place, which is named, in Hebrew, Golgotha;
Yesu akahuma kuni agegili msalaba waki, mbaka pandu pepikemelewa “Libangu la Mutu.” Kwa Chiebulania pikemelewa Goligota.
18 where, him, they crucified; and, with him, other two, on this side and on that, and, in the midst, Jesus.
Penapo ndi pavamvambili pamsalaba, na pamonga nayu vavavambili pamisalaba yavi vandu vangi vavili mmonga upandi wa kulyela na yungi upandi wa kumangeya, Yesu ndi pagati yavi.
19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and placed on the cross; and there was written—JESUS, THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pilatu akayandika likokoso pachibau akakivika panani ya msalaba, akayandika, “Yesu Mnazaleti Nkosi wa Vayawudi.”
20 This title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because, near, was the place to the city where Jesus was crucified; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.
Hinu, Vayawudi vamahele vasomili likokoso ilo, muni pandu peavambiwi Yesu pamsalaba pavi papipi na muji. Kangi likokoso lenilo layandikwi kwa Chiebulania na Chilatini na Chigiliki.
21 The High-priests of the Jews, therefore, were saying unto Pilate—Do not be writing, The King of the Jews; but that, he, said: King of the Jews, I am.
Hinu, Vakulu va kuteta vakamjovela Pilatu, “Kotoka kuyandika. ‘Nkosi wa Vayawudi,’ Nambu mundu uyu ajovili kuvya, ‘Nene ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi.’”
22 Pilate answered—What I have written, I have written!
Pilatu akayangula, “Geniyandiki gala nimali, kuyandika!”
23 The soldiers, therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, unto each soldier, a part; also the tunic. Howbeit, the tunic was without seam, from above, woven throughout.
Manjolinjoli pevamali kumvamba Yesu pamsalaba, vakazitola nyula zaki, vakavika malundu mcheche, kila mmonga na lilundu laki. Mewawa vakatola na lijoho laki la unkosi, lijoho ilo labotiwi kwa chipandi chimonga ndu, changali kutotewa.
24 They said, therefore, one to another—Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose, it shall be; —that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled—They parted my garments amongst them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots: —yes verily, the soldiers, these things did.
Manjolinjoli vala, vakajovesana. “Tikotoka kuyipapula, muni titova kula yati livya la yani.” Lijambu lenili lahengiki muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gegijova, “Vagavini nyula zangu, Na nyula yangu vakayitovela kula.” Ndi, chevahengili vala manjolinjoli.
25 And there were standing by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene.
Papipi na msalaba wa Yesu vayimili nyina waki Yesu, na mlumbu wa nyina waki na Maliya mdala wa Kileopa, na Maliya Magidala.
26 Jesus, therefore, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved, saith unto his mother—O woman, see! thy son!
Yesu peamuwene nyina waki, na papipi yaki ayimili muwuliwa yula mweamganili, akamjovela nyina waki. “Mau, Lola, mwenuyo ndi mwana waku.”
27 Afterwards, he saith unto the disciple—See! thy mother! And, from that hour, the disciple took her unto his own home.
Kangi akamjovela muwuliwa yula. “Lola, mwenuyo ndi nyina waku.” Na kutumbula lukumbi lula muwuliwa yula akamtola atama kunyumba yaki.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that, already, all things, have been finished, —that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith—I thirst!
Yesu amanyili kuvya goha gamali kutimila, muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimilayi, akajova, “Niyuana njota.”
29 A vessel, was standing, full of vinegar. A sponge, therefore, full of the vinegar, put about, hyssop, brought they unto his mouth.
Penapo pavi na nkele weumemili divayi yivavanu. Hinu vakajwiga litonji mudivayi yivavanu vakavika mulungoda lwa mkongo weukemiwa hisopo, vakamvikila pamlomo.
30 When, therefore, he had received the vinegar, Jesus said—It is finished! And, bowing his head, delivered up his spirit.
Yesu peamali kupewa divayi yivavanu yila, akajova, “Goha gatimili!” Kangi akagundama mutu, akafwa.
31 The Jews, therefore, since it was, a preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross during the Sabbath, —for that Sabbath day was, great, requested Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away.
Yavi ijumaa, ligono la kutendelekeha. Ndava muni, higa yikoto kutama pamsalaba Ligono la Kupumulila, muni ligono ilo lavi likulu kwa Vayawudi. Hinu vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakamuyupa Pilatu, magendelu ga vala vevavambiwi pamsalaba gadenyewayi na higa zavi ziwusiwayi.
32 The soldiers, therefore, came; and, of the first, indeed, brake the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him, —
Manjolinjoli vakahamba, vakayidenya magendelu ga mundu wa upandi wa kumangeya na yula wa upandi wa kulyela vevavambiwi pamisalaba pamonga na Yesu vala.
33 but coming, unto Jesus, when they saw that, already, he was dead, they brake not his legs; —
Nambu pavamhikili Yesu vamkoli amali kufwa, ndi vamdenyili lepi magendelu.
34 but, one of the soldiers, with a spear, pierced, his side, and there came out, straightway, blood and water.
Nambu mmonga wavi amuhomili Yesu muluvafu na mgoha, bahapo yikahuma ngasi na manji.
35 And, he that hath seen, hath borne witness; and, genuine, is his testimony, and, he, knoweth that he saith, what is true, that, ye also, may believe.
Mwene yula mwealoli lijambu lenilo, alijovili muni na nyenye musadika. Na aga geajovili ndi uchakaka, kavili mwene imanya kuvya ijova chakaka.
36 For these things came to pass, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled—A bone thereof, shall not be crushed;
Lijambu lenili lahengiki muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimila. “Kawaka hati lijege laki limonga lelidenyewa.”
37 and, again, a different Scripture, saith—They shall look unto him whom they pierced.
Mewawa Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova. “Vakumlola yula mwevamuhomili.”
38 But, after these things, Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having kept it secret for fear of the Jews, requested Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. He came, therefore, and took away his body.
Pagamaliki genago, Yosefu mkolonjinji wa Alimatei, akamuyupa Pilatu kuyihulusa higa ya Yesu kuhuma pamsalaba. Yosefu avi mulanda waki Yesu, nambu chamfiyu, muni ayogwipi vachilongosi wa Vayawudi. Ndi Pilatu akamyidakila, Yosefu ahambili kuyiwusa higa ya Yesu.
39 There came, moreover, Nicodemus also, —he that came unto him by night at the first, —bearing a roll of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds’ weight.
Yosefu alongosini na Nikodemu, mweamuhambili Yesu kimihi, akabwela agegili mahuta gegikemelewa manemane gegahangisini na ubani vibaba selasini.
40 So they received the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen-bandages with the spices, —just as it is, a custom, with the Jews to prepare for burial.
Hinu voha vavili vakayitola higa ya Yesu, na kuyitindisila nyula ya msopi pamonga na mahuta ago ngati cheyavili mivelu ya Vayawudi pakuvika higa mulitinda.
41 Now there was, in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and, in the garden, an unused tomb, wherein, as yet, no one had been laid.
Pandu pala pevamvambili Yesu pamsalaba, pavi na lidimba palidimba lenilo pavi na litinda la mupya lelavi lakona kumvika mundu yoyoha mugati yaki.
42 So, there, by reason of the preparation of the Jews, because, near, was the tomb, laid they Jesus.
Ndava ya mahengu ga Vayawudi ga kutendelekeha Ligono la Kupumulila, ndava litinda lenilo lavi papipi vakamuvika Yesu mwenumo.
