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!]!”
Ani sisizo unu udandang uka tuma wa gurna ahira nigora nan a nanu nan anu nyiti nan nigura, wa tirzizi Yesu wa suru in me, wa ziki me wa nya Bilatus.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Bilatus ma iki me, hamani oigome wa Yahudawa/ ma karbirka me, magu wa buka.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Anu adadandang unyitike wa nan in bi bukum gwardang
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]!”
Bilatus ma kuri ma iki me, ma gun me, ida kuri iboki iri mumba? ira bi bukum me sa ahaza ni anice nuwe me.
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Yesu da ma kuru ma buki ire imum ba, Bilatus ma diri imumu ubuka.
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.
Anyimo atiye ti uru usana, ma meme madi sapi we niteru ni inde, vat uge sa iko.
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].
Uru marani agusa me Barnaba, ma tiri ma inde sa wa hirziza muruba, anu wani sa wa huzi anabu anyimo uhirziza umuruba me.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Ni ori na nabu, ni ha ahira ameme wa ka rizizo me adizi ma gunkune we kasi utanda umeme.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Bilatus makabirkawemmagu, inarani in sopi, shi ogomo wa yaduwa me?
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].
Ma rusa izin iniriba i bit nan anu adadandang u nyetikeme sa wa nya Yesu.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
In ka ta nya ace ti di cukunu ni gome, a hira imumu iriri i Ugomo Asere.
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?”
Bilatus ma kabirka we ma kuru magu nyanini idi wuzi ana me. nan Ugomo wa Yahudawa?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Wa yeze a nyira magu, ga kirka ni me.
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Bilatus ma gu we, nyanini ma wu za? wa aje unu kabarsa ume, ga kirka nime.
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}.
Bilatus ma nuari uwuza anabu imumu iriri, ma cekewe Barabas, uganiya sa ma mari ucubo Yesu, ma gu zikani i aka baka me utiti unu rere.
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].
Anu uhira uni pin wa ziki me uhana anyimo udange unu dan anipin, wadi titi ni nanu uhira unu pin me.
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].
Waduku tiezizi me, upori uvu, waduku barki anice me.
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!”
Waduku tunguno visisu ume, wa gunme, Asere akinkiwe ti gomoni, Ugomo wa Yahudawa.
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Waduku dingi vubo ume anice, wa tufizizime tobe, waduku tungunu agi wa zunu nya za ume ti Ugomo.
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.
Sa wa mara uzuza ume biranza, waduku sopi upori uvume, waduku suki me ti runga tumeme, wa surin me, amatara uhen uku baka ume utiti uni rere.
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].
Uye ma e u aka, niza numeme saminu unanu bakura, acu a Istifanus nan Rufas! a suru ani guro, wa dusa wa busurka me ahi ma ziki utiti uni rere ni Yesu.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Wa han in Yesu a ara ahira agusa ani ugolgota, a hira sa a iso nice ni.
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.
Waduku nyame ubere agi ma si, ma game usa me.
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.
Waduku gakimga tume me wa hari acece awa me, wa wuzi matara aceve awame, wa iri imum besa wadi kenzi.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Azumo ukirau udira inde ini sisizo, waduku garkirka me utiti uni rere me.
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.”
Wa nyetike ihori Asesere utiti uni rere me, wa buki imumu izezen ba ma wuzipa, agi me Ugomo wa Yahudawa.
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].
Sa wa gakirka me utiti uni rere me, ana wa re wazi na me, unu inde atari ti na re, unu indw a tari tina agure tumeme.
Uganiya uni umyica utize me sa ma buki, a basa ini a nyimo anu wuza uti mumum tizezen.
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.
Anu agiza una wa dingi unoo ume tize rizezen, wa haki wa zuri ace, wa gusi, u sa udi u kuri uberla uni anyimo atiye ti tarua.
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Tuno Asesere utiti uni rere, ubenki nice nuwe me.
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!
Ane ani anadandandanh nan anu nyetike utize ta Asere, wa dingi u zunza ume, acece aweme, wa gusi, ma bursa aye, sizikime ubura unice numeme.
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.
Unu bursa anu age, Ugomo u Yahudawa ca ma tuu utiti uni rere nigeme a ana me, ti iri haru yi kabi tize ta Asere, a desa agarki kawe nan me we cangi ma zunzi me.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Unu wui ace, maree ma impi nipin vat, uhana azumi ataru uwinjoro.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Uhana azumo atari Yesu ma hirza ni myiran Asesere magu, Eloi, Eloi Lama Sabatani? agi Asere, Asere nyanini yawuna wa ga mi?
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!”
Aye wa turi, sa wa kuna ani me, wq gu, ya kuna mazinu tisa Uliya.
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]!”
Uye a nyimo awe, ma sumi maka rumzo nire uni tira in mei ma gwarara, ma tumi ani titi, ma witi Asesere age ma shimbiko, maduku gusi ca tiri nani iliya madi eh ma tuzo me.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Yesu ma hirza ni myira Asesere uganiya uduku myinca.
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].
Atira anyimo udenge Asere awata tihira kare, uzika Asesere utuno adizi.
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!”
Uganiya sa vanu uruma uni kara, ma turu mazinu hira u Yesu, ma iri ani me, ma gu, kadura kani unu geme vana Asere mani.
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.
Ara ne, wa turu piit wa hiri anyimo, aweme, maryamu magada liya, nan maryamu a ino a Yakubu unu niza ni Yusufu nan Solome.
Wa wani a de sa wa tarsi me u ganiya sa mara u Galili wa zin unu wuza ume katuma, nan ane gwardan sa wa igizome Urushalima.
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].
Uru winjoro, uwui u bara adudu ani, barki nisizo uwui asabar ani.
Yesufu ma eh, unu watu Arimatiya, urunu uka tuma kanipin udadandang, unu nyarga u aye u tize ta Asere, ma wu iriba ihu, ma ribe ahira a Bilatus, ma gu a nyame ikizi Yesu.
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.
Bilatus ma basa iriba magu na ma wuu anime, ma titi unu uginome, ma iki me, nani Yesu madodankunu unu wano.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Sa ma kuna ani ahira unu dadandang ugino me, ma nya Yusufu ikizi me. Yusufu ma kpe malti, sa ma tuzo iki me nani Yesu madodankunu unu wano.
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.
Sa ma kuna ani ahira unu dandang ugino me, ma nya Yusufu ikizi me. Yusufu ma kpe u malti, sa ma tuzo ikizi i Yesu me, ma tirzizi ini umaltime, ma ka suki ini i cau sa a hingir ko nipome acume.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Maryamu Magadaliya nan Maryamu a ino a Yusufu wa iri ahira me sa awuna meni.
