Mark 15
1 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!]!”
E SUBITO la mattina, i principali sacerdoti, con gli anziani, e gli Scribi, e tutto il concistoro, tenuto consiglio, legarono Gesù, e lo menarono, e lo misero in man di Pilato.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
E Pilato gli domandò: Sei tu il Re de' Giudei? Ed egli, rispondendo, gli disse: Tu lo dici.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
E i principali sacerdoti l'accusavano di molte cose; ma egli non rispondeva nulla.
4 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]!”
E Pilato da capo lo domandò, dicendo: Non rispondi tu nulla? vedi quante cose [costoro] testimoniano contro a te.
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Ma Gesù non rispose nulla di più, talchè Pilato se ne maravigliava.
6 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.
Or ogni festa egli liberava loro un prigione, qualunque chiedessero.
7 [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].
Or vi era colui, ch'era chiamato Barabba, ch'era prigione co' suoi compagni di sedizione, i quali avean fatto omicidio nella sedizione.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
E la moltitudine, gridando, cominciò a domandare [che facesse] come sempre avea lor fatto.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
E Pilato rispose loro, dicendo: Volete che io vi liberi il Re de' Giudei?
10 [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].
(Perciocchè riconosceva bene che i principali sacerdoti glielo aveano messo nelle mani per invidia).
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Ma i principali sacerdoti incitarono la moltitudine [a chieder] che più tosto liberasse loro Barabba.
12 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?”
E Pilato, rispondendo, da capo disse loro: Che volete adunque che io faccia di colui che voi chiamate Re de' Giudei?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Ed essi di nuovo gridarono: Crocifiggilo.
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
E Pilato disse loro: Ma pure, che male ha egli fatto? Ed essi vie più gridavano: Crocifiggilo.
15 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}.
Pilato adunque, volendo soddisfare alla moltitudine, liberò loro Barabba. E dopo aver flagellato Gesù, lo diede [loro] in mano, per esser crocifisso.
16 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].
Allora i soldati lo menarono dentro alla corte, che è il Pretorio, e raunarono tutta la schiera.
17 [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].
E lo vestirono di porpora; e contesta una corona di spine, gliela misero intorno [al capo].
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
Poi presero a salutarlo, e a dire: Ben ti sia, Re de' Giudei.
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
E gli percotevano il capo con una canna, e gli sputavano addosso; e postisi inginocchioni, l'adoravano.
20 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.
E dopo che l'ebbero schernito, lo spogliarono della porpora, e lo rivestirono de' suoi propri vestimenti, e lo menarono fuori, per crocifiggerlo.
21 [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].
ED angariarono a portar la croce di esso, un certo passante, [detto] Simon Cireneo, padre di Alessandro e di Rufo, il qual tornava da' campi.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
E menarono Gesù al luogo [detto] Golgota; il che, interpretato, vuol dire: Il luogo del teschio.
23 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.
E gli dieder da bere del vino condito con mirra; ma egli non [lo] prese.
24 [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.
E dopo averlo crocifisso, spartirono i suoi vestimenti, tirando la sorte sopra essi, [per saper] ciò che ne torrebbe ciascuno.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Or era l'ora di terza, quando lo crocifissero.
26 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.”
E la soprascritta del maleficio che gli era apposto era scritta di sopra [a lui, in questa maniera: ] IL RE DE' GIUDEI.
27 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].
Crocifissero ancora con lui due ladroni, l'un dalla sua destra, e l'altro dalla sinistra.
E si adempiè la scrittura che dice: Ed egli è stato annoverato fra i malfattori.
29 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.
E coloro che passavano ivi presso l'ingiuriavano, scotendo il capo, e dicendo: Eia! tu che disfai il tempio, ed in tre giorni lo riedifichi,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
salva te stesso, e scendi giù di croce.
31 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!
Simigliantemente ancora i principali sacerdoti, con gli Scribi, beffandosi, dicevano l'uno all'altro: Egli ha salvati gli altri, e non può salvar sè stesso.
32 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.
Scenda ora giù di croce il Cristo, il Re d'Israele; acciocchè noi [lo] vediamo, e crediamo. Coloro ancora ch'erano stati crocifissi con lui l'ingiuriavano.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Poi, venuta l'ora sesta, si fecero tenebre per tutta la terra, infino all'ora di nona.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Ed all'ora di nona, Gesù gridò con gran voce, dicendo: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabactani? il che, interpretato, vuol dire: Dio mio, Dio mio, perchè mi hai abbandonato?
35 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!”
Ed alcuni di coloro ch'eran quivi presenti, udito [ciò], dicevano: Ecco, egli chiama Elia.
36 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]!”
E un di loro corse; ed empiuta una spugna d'aceto, e postala intorno ad una canna, gli diè da bere, dicendo: Lasciate; vediamo se Elia verrà, per trarlo giù.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
E Gesù, gettato un gran grido, rendè lo spirito.
38 [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].
E la cortina del tempio si fendè in due, da cima a fondo.
39 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!”
E il centurione, ch'era quivi presente di rincontro a Gesù, veduto che dopo aver così gridato, egli avea reso lo spirito, disse: Veramente quest'uomo era Figliuol di Dio.
40 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.
Or [quivi] erano ancora delle donne, riguardando da lontano; fra le quali era Maria Maddalena, e Maria [madre] di Giacomo il piccolo, e di Iose, e Salome;
le quali, eziandio mentre egli era nella Galilea, l'aveano seguitato, e gli aveano ministrato; e molte altre, le quali erano salite con lui in Gerusalemme.
42 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].
POI, essendo già sera (perciocchè era la preparazione, cioè l'antisabato),
Giuseppe, da Arimatea, consigliere onorato, il quale eziandio aspettava il regno di Dio, venne, e, preso ardire, entrò da Pilato, e domandò il corpo di Gesù.
44 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.
E Pilato si maravigliò ch'egli fosse già morto. E chiamato a sè il centurione, gli domandò se era gran tempo ch'egli era morto;
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
e, saputo [il fatto] dal centurione, donò il corpo a Giuseppe.
46 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.
Ed egli, comperato un panno lino, e tratto Gesù giù di croce, l'involse nel panno, e lo pose in un monumento, che era tagliato dentro una roccia; e rotolò una pietra all'apertura del monumento.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
E Maria Maddalena, e Maria [madre] di Iose, riguardavano ove egli sarebbe posto.
