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!]!”
Ary niaraka tamin’ izay raha vao maraina ny andro, ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny loholona sy ny mpanora-dalàna mbamin’ ny Synedriona rehetra dia niara-nisaina ary namatotra an’ i Jesosy ka nitondra Azy, dia nanolotra Azy teo amin’ i Pilato.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Ary Pilato nanontany Azy hoe: Hianao va no Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy? Ary Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Voalazanao.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona niampanga Azy zavatra maro.
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]!”
Ary Pilato dia nanontany Azy indray hoe: Tsy mety mamaly akory va Hianao? He! izao hamaroan’ ny zavatra iampangany Anao izao!
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Fa Jesosy tsy namaly intsony, na dia indraim-bava akory aza, ka dia gaga Pilato.
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.
Ary isaky ny avy ny andro firavoravoana dia fanaony ny mandefa mpifatotra iray izay angatahin’ ny vahoaka.
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].
Ary nisy anankiray ilay atao hoe Barabasy, nifatotra tao mbamin’ ny mpikomy sasany, izay efa nahafaty olona tamin’ ny fikomiana.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Ary ny vahoaka niakatra ka nangataka azy hanao araka izay fanaony aminy.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Fa Pilato namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Tianareo va mba ny Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy no halefako ho anareo?
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].
Fa fantany fa fialonana no nanoloran’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona Azy.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Fa ny lohan’ ny mpisorona nanome fo ny vahoaka, fa aleo Barabasy no halefan’ i Pilato ho azy.
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?”
Ary Pilato namaly ka nanao taminy indray hoe: Ka inona ary no hataoko amin’ ilay ataonareo hoe: Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Ary ny vahoaka niantso indray hoe: Homboy amin’ ny hazo fijaliana Izy!
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Ary hoy Pilato taminy: Fa inona moa no ratsy nataony? Nefa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Homboy amin’ ny hazo fijaliana Izy!
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}.
Ary Pilato ta-hahazo sitraka tamin’ ny vahoaka, ka dia nandefa an’ i Barabasy ho azy; fa Jesosy nasainy nokapohina, dia natolony azy mba hohomboana amin’ ny hazo fijaliana.
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].
Ary ny miaramila nitondra an’ i Jesosy ho eo an-kianja, dia ao anati-rova, sady nanangona ny miaramila namany rehetra.
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].
Ary dia nampitafy Azy lamba volomparasy izy, sady nandrandrana satroka tsilo, ka nasatrony ny lohany.
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!”
Ary dia niarahaba Azy hoe izy: Arahaba, ry Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy!
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Ary dia nikapoka ny lohany tamin’ ny volotara izy sady nandrora Azy, dia nandohalika sy niankohoka teo anatrehany.
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.
Ary rehefa nanao Azy ho fihomehezana izy, dia nanala ilay lamba volomparasy teny aminy, ka nampitafiny Azy indray ny fitafiany; ary dia nentiny hohomboany amin’ ny hazo fijaliana Izy.
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].
Ary Simona Kyreniana (rain’ i Aleksandro sy Rofosy) izay nandalo avy tany an-tsaha, no notereny hitondra ny hazo fijalian’ i Jesosy.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Ary Jesosy dia nentiny teo amin’ ny tany Golgota, izany hoe, raha adika, Fitoeran-karan-doha.
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.
Dia notolorany divay miharo miora Izy; nefa tsy nety nisotro Izy.
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.
Ary rehefa voahombony tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana Izy, dia nanaovany loka no fizara ny fitafiany, hahitany izay ho azony avy.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Ary tamin’ ny ora fahatelo no nanomboany tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana.
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.”
Ary ny soratra milaza ny nanamelohana Azy dia voasoratra teo amboniny hoe: MPANJAKAN’ NY JIOSY.
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].
Ary nisy jiolahy roa nohomboany tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana koa, ny anankiray teo amin’ ny ankavanany, ary ny anankiray teo amin’ ny ankaviany.
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.
Ary izay nandalo niteny ratsy Azy sady nihifikifi-doha ka nanao hoe: Hià! ry Ilay maharava ny tempoly sy mahatsangana azy amin’ ny hateloana,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
vonjeo ny tenanao, ka midìna hiala amin’ ny hazo fijaliana.
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!
Ary toy izany koa no faneson’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona, fa niresaka izy sy ny mpanora-dalàna nanao hoe: Namonjy ny sasany Izy, fa ny tenany tsy hainy vonjena.
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.
Aoka Kristy, Mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, hidina hiala amin’ ny hazo fijaliana ankehitriny mba ho hitantsika ka hinoantsika. Ary ireo niaraka nohomboana taminy tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana dia naneso Azy koa.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Ary nony tamin’ ny ora fahenina, dia tonga maizina ny tany rehetra, ka naharitra hatramin’ ny ora fahasivy izany.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Ary tamin’ ny ora fahasivy Jesosy dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery ka nanao hoe: Eloy, Eloy, lamà sabaktany! izay hoe, raha adika: Andriamanitro ô, Andriamanitro ô, nahoana no mahafoy Ahy Hianao?
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!”
Ary ny sasany izay nijanona teo, raha nandre izany, dia nanao hoe: Indro, miantso an’ i Elia Izy.
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]!”
Ary ny anankiray nihazakazaka, dia nanatsoboka sipaonjy tamin’ ny vinaingitra, ka notohiziny tamin’ ny volotara, dia natohony hotsentsefin’ i Jesosy, fa hoy izy: Aoka ho hizahantsika, na ho avy hampidina Azy Elia, na tsia.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Ary Jesosy niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery, dia afaka ny ainy.
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].
Ary ny efitra lamba tao amin’ ny tempoly dia triatra nizara roa hatrany ambony ka hatrany ambany.
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!”
Ary ny kapiteny izay nijanona tandrifiny, raha nahita fa afaka toy izany ny ainy, dia nanao hoe: Marina tokoa fa Zanak’ Andriamanitra io Lehilahy io.
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.
Ary nisy vehivavy koa nitsinjo teny lavidavitra eny, ary isan’ ireny Maria Magdalena sy Salome ary Maria, renin’ i Jakoba kely sy Josesy,
izay nanaraka Azy ka nanompo Azy, fony Izy tany Galilia, mbamin’ ny vehivavy maro koa izay niaraka taminy niakatra tany Jerosalema.
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].
Ary nony hariva (satria andro fiomanana ny andro, dia ny andro alohan’ ny Sabata),
dia avy Josefa avy any Arimatia, lehilahy manan-kaja, izay isan’ ny Synedriona sady niandry ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra koa; ary sahy niditra tao amin’ i Pilato izy ka nangataka ny fatin’ i Jesosy.
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.
Ary gaga Pilato raha maty sahady Jesosy, ka dia niantso ny kapiteny hankao aminy izy ka nanontaniany azy na efa maty ela Izy, na tsia.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Ary rehefa nahare tamin’ ny kapiteny izy, dia nomeny an’ i Josefa ny faty.
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.
Ary izy nividy hariry madinika, dia nampidininy ny fatin’ i Jesosy ka nofonosiny hariry madinika, ary naleviny tao amin’ ny fasana, izay nolavahana tamin’ ny vatolampy, dia nanakodia vato ho eo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny fasana izy.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Ary Maria Magdalena sy Maria, renin’ i Josesy, dia nijery izay nametrahany Azy.
