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!]!”
Toang na ke lotu tok ah, Mwet Tol Fulat el sa na osun nu sin un mwet matu, mwet luti Ma Sap ac Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat nukewa, ac elos orala lemlem se lalos. Elos kaprilya Jesus ac pwanulla nu yorol Pilate.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Ac Pilate el siyuk sel Jesus, “Ya kom pa tokosra lun mwet Jew?” Jesus el topuk, “Pa kom fahk an.”
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Mwet tol fulat elos tukakunul Jesus ke ma puspis.
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]!”
Na Pilate el sifilpa siyuk sel, “Ke kom lohng ma puspis ma elos tukakin kom kac inge, ya wanginna ma kom ac sang topuk?”
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Ac Jesus el sifil pacna tia kas, ac Pilate el lut na pwaye.
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.
Ke pacl in Kufwen Alukela nukewa, Pilate el fahsr ke oakwuk se in tulala sie sin mwet kapir ma mwet uh siyuk kac.
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].
Ke pacl se inge, oasr sie u muta in presin ke sripen elos tuh akmas ke alein se ma sikyak lain government. Sie sin mwet inge pa Barabbas.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Ke mwet puspis tukeni ac mutawauk in kwafe sel Pilate elan oru nu selos oana el muta oru in pacl in kufwa nukewa,
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
na el siyuk selos, “Ya kowos lungse tuh ngan tulala nu suwos tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
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].
El arulana etu lah mwet tol fulat elos eisalang Jesus nu sel ke sripen elos sok sel.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
A mwet tol fulat elos purakak insien mwet uh in siyuk sel Pilate tuh elan tulalla Barabbas nu selos.
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?”
Pilate el sifil fahk nu sin u lulap sac, “Na mea nga fah oru nu sel su kowos pangon tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Unilya fin sakseng!”
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Ac Pilate el siyuk selos, “Efu, ma koluk fuka el orala uh?” Elos arulana wowoyak yohk liki meet ac fahk, “Unilya fin sakseng!”
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}.
Na ke Pilate el lungse akinsewowoye mwet uh, ouinge el tulalla Barabbas nu selos, ac el sap mwet mweun in srunglul Jesus arulana upa, ac usalla in anwuki el fin sakseng.
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].
Na mwet mweun elos eisal Jesus ac kololla nu inkul fulat lun governor, (acn se pangpang Praetorium) ac elos pangoneni mwet mweun wialos.
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].
Ac elos nokmulang ke sie nuknuk sroninmutuk, ac elos pirakela sie tefuro ke lah ma oasr otah kac ac filiya fin sifal.
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!”
Na elos aksruksruk in paingul ac fahk, “Paing kom, Tokosra lun mwet Jew!”
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Ac elos puok sifal ke soko sak, elos anel, ac sikukmutuntei ac epasrla nu sel.
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.
Ac ke elos aksruksrukel tari, elos sarukla nuknuk sroninmutuk sac, ac sifil nokmulang ke nuknuk lal sifacna. Na elos kololla in unilya fin sakseng soko.
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].
Ke elos fahsr inkanek uh, elos sun sie mwet su inel pa Simon, su tuku in acn saya me nu in siti uh, ac mwet mweun elos akkohsyel ac sang elan us sakseng lun Jesus. (Simon el mwet Cyrene, ac el papa tumal Alexander ac Rufus.)
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Ac elos usalla Jesus nu ke acn se pangpang Golgotha, su kalmac pa, “Sri in Ahlunsuf.”
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.
Elos srike in sang nu sel wain karyak ke ono se pangpang myrrh, tuh Jesus el tia lungse nim.
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.
Na elos srupsrulak fin sakseng, ac kitalik nuknuk lal inmasrlolos. Elos susfa kac in suk ip lun kais sie selos.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Ao eu ke lotutang pa elos srupsrulak fin sakseng soko.
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.”
Ac kas ma akkalemye sripen anwuki el, simla oan lucng liki sifal: “Tokosra Lun Mwet Jew.”
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].
Elos oayapa srupusrak mwet pisrapasr sulallal luo welul — sie lac paol layot ac sie lac paol lasa. [
Akpwayeuk Ma Simusla su fahk, “Elos oakulang yurin mwet koluk.”]
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.
Mwet su fahsryak we elos usruk kwawalos, ac fahk kas koluk in angnol Jesus ac fahk, “Pwe! Kom pa tuh fahk mu kom ac kunausla Tempul ac sifil musaela tukun len tolu!
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Sifacna molikomla ac fani liki sakseng soko an!”
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!
In ouiya sac pacna, mwet tol fulat ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos aksruksruke Jesus, ac fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “El molela mwet ngia, a el kofla molella sifacna!
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.
Kut fin liye Messiah, tokosra lun Israel, elan fani liki sakseng soko ah, na kut fah lulalfongel!” Ac mwet luo su welul Jesus sripsripyak fin sakseng eltal wi pac angnol.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Ke infulwen len, in polo acn sac nufon lohsrla ke lusen ao tolu.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Ac ke ao se aktolu, Jesus el wowoyak ke pusra lulap ac fahk, [“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani]?” su kalmac pa, “God luk, God luk, efu kom ku fahsr likiyu?”
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!”
Kutu sin mwet ma tu in sac elos lohngol ac elos fahk, “Lohng, el pangnol Elijah!”
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]!”
Sie selos kasrusr ac eis sie insroal, twenya ke wain mwen, ac sang nu ke soko sak, na el kolak nu sin Jesus tuh elan nim kac, ac fahk, “Kolyawin, kut in liye lah Elijah el ac tuku sruhkilya liki sakseng soko uh!”
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Ac Jesus el wola ke sie pusra lulap, na el misa.
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].
Na lisrlisr se lisringyen Acn Mutal Na Mutal in Tempul ah mihsalik ip luola, lucngi nwe ten.
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!”
Ke mwet kol se lun un mwet mweun, su tu sisken sakseng uh, el liye luman misa lun Jesus, el fahk, “Pwayena lah mwet se inge el Wen nutin God!”
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.
Ac oasr kutu mutan su tu loes kutu ac liye ma orek inge. Tolu selos pa Mary Magdalene, ac Mary nina kial James su srik ac Joseph, oayapa Salome.
Elos tuh fahsr tukun Jesus ac kasrel ke el muta Galilee. Mutan puspis su welul tuku nu Jerusalem, elos wi pac tu we.
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].
Ke ekela in len in Akola, su len se meet liki Sabbath,
Joseph mwet Arimathea, sie sin Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat su mwet uh akfulatye, su oayapa wi tupan tuku lun Tokosrai lun God, el pulaik ac utyak nu ye mutal Pilate ac siyuk ke monin Jesus.
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.
Ac Pilate el lut ke el lohng lah Jesus el misa tari; ac el solama mwet kol se lun un mwet mweun ac siyuk lah pwaye Jesus el misa tari.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Ac ke el etu sin mwet kol sac lah el misa, na el sang ku nu sel Joseph elan us mano sac.
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.
Na Joseph el molela sie nuknuk linen, ac ke el sruhkya monin Jesus, el pwelah ke nuknuk linen sac, ac filiya in sie kulyuk ma tufahlla in eot uh; na el epusang sie eot lulap nu ke mutun kulyuk sac.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Mary Magdalene ac Mary nina kial Joseph, eltal tuni ma inge ac liye na acn eltal filiya mano sac we.
