< 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!]!”
Are xsaqirik, ri kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios, ri e kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri e yoꞌl taq noꞌj xkichomaj jas kakibꞌano. Xkiyut bꞌik ri Jesús, xkikꞌam bꞌik choch ri Pilato.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Ri Pilato xuta che ri Jesús: ¿La at ri at kirey ri winaq aꞌj Israel? Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Lal xbꞌin la in jachinaq.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Ri e kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq xkichapleꞌj utzujuxik ri Jesús che kꞌi jastaq.
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]!”
Ri Pilato xubꞌij che ri Jesús: ¿La maj jas kabꞌij che le tajin kakibꞌij chawe? Sibꞌalaj kꞌi ri amakum, jeriꞌ kakibꞌij.
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Pune jeriꞌ xbꞌix che ri Jesús, maj xa ta ne jun tzij xubꞌij, rumal riꞌ ri Pilato sibꞌalaj xmayijanik.
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.
Pa ri nimaqꞌij, naqꞌatal che ri Pilato kutzoqopij jun itzel winaq ri kꞌo pa che, xapachin na kꞌu ri kakita ri winaq.
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].
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Barrabás, tzꞌapital pa ri cheꞌ kukꞌ ri itzel taq winaq, rumal ukꞌulel ri nim taqanel pa Roma xuqujeꞌ rumal ri kamisanik ri ubꞌanom.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Xkimulij kibꞌ ri winaq choch ri Pilato, xkita che kutzoqopij ri jun itzel winaq jetaq ri naqꞌatalik kubꞌano pa ri nimaqꞌij.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Ri Pilato xuta chike: ¿La are kiwaj kintzoqopij bꞌik le kirey le winaq aꞌj Israel?
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].
Jeriꞌ xubꞌij rumal xuchꞌobꞌo chi ri e kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios xkijach ri Jesús rumal kꞌax kakinaꞌ che.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Ri e kinimaꞌqil ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj ri winaq are kakito katzoqopix ri Barrabás.
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?”
Ri Pilato xuta chike: ¿Jas kꞌu kinbꞌan che le achi le kibꞌij ix chi are kirey ri winaq aꞌj Israel?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Ri winaq ko xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij: ¡Ripoq!
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Ri Pilato xuta chike: ¿Jas che? ¿Jas xumakuj we achi riꞌ? Ri winaq ko xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij: ¡Ripoq!
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}.
Xraj kꞌu ri Pilato xuya chike ri winaq ri kakaj xtaqanik katzoqopixik ri Barrabás, xuqujeꞌ xtaqan churapuxik ri Jesús, kꞌa te riꞌ xujach bꞌik chike rech kakiripo.
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].
Ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ xkikꞌam bꞌik ri Jesús choch ri ja ri kakꞌojiꞌ wi ri nim qꞌatal tzij, xeꞌkimulij konojel ri kachiꞌl.
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].
Xkikoj jun kyaq manta chirij ri Jesús, kꞌa te riꞌ xkikem jun kꞌix korona, xkikoj pa ujolom,
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!”
xuqujeꞌ xkibꞌij: ¡Nim uqꞌij ri kirey ri winaq aꞌj Israel!
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Xkichꞌay chujolom rukꞌ jun aj, xkichubꞌaj, xexukiꞌk choch, kakijaluj kakiya uqꞌij.
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.
Are xetoꞌtaj chuyakik kitzeꞌ chirij ri Jesús, xkesaj ri manta chrij, xkikoj ri ratzꞌyaq. Kꞌa te riꞌ xkikꞌam bꞌik pa ripik.
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].
Kꞌo jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Simón aj Cirene, utat ri Alejandro Rufo, tzalijem loq rij pa ri uchak cho ri saq, xkitaq bꞌik chi reqaxik ri ripbꞌal.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Xkikꞌam bꞌik ri Jesús pa ri ulew ubꞌiꞌnam Gólgota, ri kel kubꞌij Ubꞌaqilal jolomaj.
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.
Xkiyujaꞌj vino rukꞌ mirra, kꞌa te riꞌ xkitzuj che, ri Jesús man xraj taj xutijo.
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.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xkiripo, ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ xeꞌtzꞌanik rech kakilo jachin kachꞌekow bꞌik ri ratzꞌyaq ri Jesús.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Pa ri bꞌelejebꞌ hora rech ri qꞌij, xkirip ri Jesús.
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.”
Xkikoj we tzꞌibꞌatalik riꞌ puꞌwiꞌ ri cheꞌ ripbꞌal: ARE WAꞌ RI KIREY RI WINAQ AꞌJ ISRAEL.
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].
Xerip xuqujeꞌ e kebꞌ eleqꞌomabꞌ chuxukut, jun pa umox, jun pa uwiqiqꞌabꞌ.
Xkꞌulmataj kꞌut ri tzꞌibꞌatal loq chirij kubꞌij: Xajilax chikixoꞌl ri aꞌjmakibꞌ.
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.
Konojel ri kiꞌkꞌow bꞌik kakisutusa kanoq ri kijolom xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌij kanoq che ri Jesús: At ri katukij ri Templo kꞌa te riꞌ pa oxibꞌ qꞌij kayak ukꞌaxel.
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
¡Chatqaj loq cho ri ripbꞌal, chakolo awibꞌ!
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!
Ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kech ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios, e kachiꞌl ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xkitzeꞌj uwach ri Jesús xkibꞌij che: Xkwinik xuꞌkol nikꞌaj winaq chik, man kakwin ta kꞌut kukol ribꞌ.
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.
Chuqasaj loq ribꞌ choch ri ripbꞌal, we are Cristo kirey ri winaq aꞌj Israel rech jeriꞌ kaqilo xuqujeꞌ kujkojon che. Ri achyabꞌ ri xerip rukꞌ kakibꞌij apanoq kꞌax taq tzij che.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Pa ri unikꞌajil qꞌij xqꞌequꞌmataj ri uwachulew kꞌa te xtaniꞌ pa ri urox hora rech bꞌenaq qꞌij.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Ri Jesús xuraq uchiꞌ pa ri urox hora rech bꞌenaq qꞌij, xubꞌij: Eloi, Eloi, ¿lama sabactani? ri kel kubꞌij: NuDios, nuDios ¿jas che xinya la kanoq nutukel?
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!”
Jujun chike ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ, are xkita ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xkibꞌij: Chitampeꞌ, tajin kuchꞌabꞌej apanoq ri Elías.
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]!”
Kaxikꞌan jun chike ri achyabꞌ xuꞌchꞌaqabꞌa loq jun qꞌux pa vinagre kꞌa te riꞌ xuxekebꞌa bꞌik che jun aj, xutzuj apanoq che ri Jesús, xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij: Qilampeꞌ we qas kape ri Elías chuqasaxik.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Ri Jesús rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xuraq uchiꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xkamik.
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].
Ri atzꞌyaq tasbꞌal upam ri Tyoxalaj kꞌolibꞌal ri kꞌo pa ri Templo xjisjobꞌ pa kebꞌ upetik chikaj kꞌa pa ri ulew.
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!”
Are xuta ri kinimal ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chi xuraq uchiꞌ ri Jesús, xuqujeꞌ xrilo jas xubꞌan ri Jesús xkamik, xubꞌij: Qas tzij wi, we achi riꞌ are Ukꞌojol ri Dios.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun ixoqibꞌ naj e kꞌo wi kekaꞌy apanoq. Chikixoꞌl e kꞌo ri María Magdalena, ri María ri unan ri Jacobo, xuqujeꞌ ri unan ri José, xuqujeꞌ ri Salomé.

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].
Bꞌenaq chi qꞌij, (qꞌij ri kasukꞌumax kanoq ronojel ri katij pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem)
ri José aj Arimatea, jun chike ri e yaꞌl taq noꞌj kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel, jun achi ri rayeꞌm ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, man xuxiꞌj taj ribꞌ, xopan rukꞌ ri Pilato chutayik ri utyoꞌjal ri Jesús rech kumuqu.
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.
Ri Pilato sibꞌalaj xmayijanik are xuto chi aninaq xkam ri Jesús, xusikꞌij ri kinimal ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ xuta che la naj chik kaminaq ri Jesús.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Are xkibꞌij che chi ri Jesús kaminaq chik, xuya bꞌe che ri José xukꞌam bꞌik.
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.
Ri José xuqasaj bꞌik ri utyoꞌjal ri Jesús, xubꞌolqꞌotij bꞌik pa jun kꞌakꞌ atzꞌyaq ri xuloqꞌo, xuyaꞌ kanoq pa jun jul ri kꞌottal cho jun abꞌaj, kꞌa te riꞌ xuwolqotij kanoq jun abꞌaj rech kutzꞌapij ri uchiꞌ ri muqbꞌal.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Ri María Magdalena rachiꞌl ri María unan ri José xkilo jawjeꞌ xmuqiꞌ wi kanoq ri Jesús.
