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!]!”
Bwamba muno akolo ba makuhani bakusanyika pamwepe ni agoi ni aandishi ni baraza zima la agoi. Kabantaba Yesu ni kumpeleka kwa Pilato. kanlokiya, “Wenga wa mpwalume wa wayahudi?
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
kayangwa, “wenga ukoiye eyo”.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Akolo ba makuhani kabakoya mashitaka mengi kuhusu Yesu.
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]!”
Pilato kanlokiya tena, “uyangwa kwaa sosote? ubona kwaa eyo kushitaki kwa mayaalo mengi?
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Lakini Yesu an'yangwa kwa Pilato, ni eyo yate kunkanganya.
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.
Kwa kawaida lisiku ya sikukuuu kunlekeya mfungwa yumo, mfungwa ywa an'yopike.
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].
Kwaii waharifu muligereza, miongoni mwa abele gaji bateasi kabatumikia makosa yabe. Abi mundu yumo akemmwa Baraba.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Bandu banyansima kabaisa kwa pilato ni kun'yopa atende kati ya atei uko nkyogo.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Pilato kayangwa ni kukoya, “mupala nia ndulye mpwalume wa wayahudi?”
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].
Aatangike bwiu wa aakolo ba makuhani kum'boywa ni kumpeleka kwake.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Akolo ba makuhani basosile sa kipenga sa bandu kuguta ni kukoya alekwe Baraba badala yake.
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?”
Pilato kayangwa tena ni kukoya, “Nintende kele mpwalume wa wayahudi?”
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Kabaguta lelo “msulubishe”
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Pilato kakoya “atei libaya gani? bayongiye kuguta ni kukoya msulubishe”
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 kaba apulaisha kanlekeya Baraba. Kaamkombwa Yesu mjeredi kisha kampiya ili asulubiwe.
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].
Askari kabanlongoya mpaka mulua (wa ubi nkati ya kambi) bakusanyike pamwepe ni kikosi cha askari.
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].
Kabam'waliya Yesu ngazu ya zambarau, kaba pota taji ya miiba kaba mwaliya.
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!”
Kabatumbwa kumueka ni kukoya “salam mpwalume wa wayahudi!”
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Kabankombwa kumutwe ni milai ni kumuuniya mata kaba beka mayua yabe pae kwa kumheshim.
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.
Kabayomwa kumdhihaki, kaba muule ya kanzu ya zambarau ni kumwaliya ngobo yake, kabampiya panza kuyenda kumsulubisha.
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].
Kabamlazimisha mpeta ndela kun'gangata abi kuoma kumiginda kayingiya mjini akemwage Simoni mkerene (Tate bake Iskanda ni Rufo); kabanlazimisha kupotwa msalaba wa Yesu.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Askari kabampeleka Yesu pandu pakemwa Goligotha (maana ya tafsiri yeno ni pandu paliupa l lundoi).
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.
Kabampya mvinyo uangabinwe ni manemane lakini anywi kwaa.
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.
Kabamsulubisha ni kunagana ngobo yake kaba paga kula luamua eso apata kila askari.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Yabi saa tatu bwamba palyo bate kumsulubu.
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.”
Kababeka lubao kunani kabaandika shitaka “Mpwalume wa Wayahudi.”
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].
Kaba msulubisha ni majambazi abele, yumo luboko wa mmulyo ni yumo luboko lwa nkeya wake.
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.
Balyo kabapeta bai kabantukana, kaba iniya mutwe ni kukoya, “Aha! wenga wa kupi mwana lihekalu ni kusenga kwa sikutatu,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Jiokoe wa mwene ni uuluke pae viboye apa pamsalaba.
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!
kati iyeya akolo ba makuhani wakimdhihaki kabakoyana pamwepe ni aandishi ni kukoya, “Aokwile benge lakini mwene ashindikewe kuiokwa.
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.
Kristo mpwalume wa Israel uluka pae kuoma msalabani, ili tupate kubona ni kuamini “ni balyo basulubiwe pamwepe walimdhihaki.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Kuika saa sita, lubendo lwa isi nnema nzima paka saa tisa.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Muda wa saa tisa Yesu kaguta kwa sauti ngolo, eloi, eloi lamasabaktane? yabini maana ya “Nnongo wango, Nnongo wango mwalowa kele kunileka?
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!”
Balyo bayemi kuyowa eyo kaba koya “lola, ankema Eliya”.
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]!”
Mundu yumo kabutuka ni kuyenda kutola siki ni kuibeka musiponchi ni kubeka kunani ya malai ni kumpaya ili anywee. mundu yumo kakoya “lenda tubone oyo Eliya aise kumuuluya pae.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
kisha Yesu kalela kwa sauti ngolo kawaa.
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].
Pazia ya hekalu labaganike ipande ibele kuoma kunani mpala pae.
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!”
Ofisa yumo ayemi kaegenda kwa Yesu ya kummona wawile ya abile kakoya “kweli yono mundu abi mwan wa Nnongo.
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.
Baii alwawa kutalu kabalola. nkati yabe ai Mariamu Magdarena, Mariam (mao bake Yakobo mnunage Yose) ni Salome.
Kwa Galilaya bankotike ni kuntumikia ni alwawa wa benge bingi, pia alongwaniye mpaka Yerusalem.
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].
Kuika kitamwinyo, kwa kuwa yabii lisiku ya maandalio ya sabato,
Palyo kaisa Yusufu wa Arimathaya, aii nyumbo wa baraza mundu wa heshima anageutarajia upwalume wa Nnongo. Kayenda kwa Pilato ni kuyopa mmwili wa 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.
Pilato kakanganya kuba Yesu tayari awile, kankema ywa afisa ni kunnokiya kama Yesu awile.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Palyo apatike uhakika kuoma kwa afisa kwamba Yesu awile, kankokeya Yusufu akautole yega.
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.
Yusufu apemike sanda kaamualaga kuoma msalabani, kantola ni sanda ni kumbeka muli kaburi liyembikwe kummwamba kisha kalibeka libwe kunlango wa kaburi.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Mariam Magdalena ni Mariamu mao bake Yose babweni pandu pa Yesu asikikwe.
