Malekha 15
1 Vakhalava vukilo avavahava vate khenchii vakhaganila pu paninie na vagogolo na vasimbi neli balasa lionieya vagogolo vakhang'udula u Yesu vakha ng'ulikha khwa Pilati. UPilati akhambuncha uve veve khuludeva (Ntwa) vava Yahudi?”
Early the next morning, the chief priest, elders, and religious teachers—the whole governing council—came to a decision. They had Jesus bound and sent him to be handed over to Pilate.
2 “Akhata akhanchova, “Uveveve unchovile lulo.”
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” “You said it,” Jesus replied.
3 Avavaha va vate khenchii vakhanchova inongwa nchuu nyingi khwa Yesu.
The chief priests kept on making many accusations against him.
4 Upilati akhambuncha kha, “Vilii savunchova? khenu sawilona vuvikhukhu sitaka ni nongwa nchuunyingi?
Pilate questioned him again, “Aren't you going to answer? See how many charges they're bringing against you!”
5 UYesu sakhanchova pu uPilati akhanswiga.
But Jesus didn't give any more answers, much to Pilate's surprise.
6 Ee khawaida pa luhekhelo vavikhudeinchulila ukugwa yumo, ukugwa uviadovile.
Now it was Pilate's custom at the Passover feast to release a prisoner to the people, whoever they requested.
7 Pu valipo avavivi mulumandena vabudi avavale mugati mukhutumikhela inongwa ncha vene. Pu alipo umunu yumo viibaraba badala ya mwene.
One of the prisoners was a man called Barabbas who belonged to a group of rebels who had committed murder during an uprising.
8 Uvumati wa vanu vukheinchakhwa Pilati, nukhudova avombe nduvu avombile khusana.
The crowd went to Pilate and asked him to release a prisoner following his usual custom.
9 UPilati akhajibu khavile, “Nukhuta mwinogwe neidindulile neifumgulile Untwa vava Yahudi?”
“Do you want me to release to you the King of Jews?” he asked them,
10 Pakhuva alumanyile ukhuta lioyo lya vatekhenchii avavaha vakha mwibata u Yesu nukhugega khuumwene.
for he realized that it was because of their jealousy of Jesus that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
11 Pu avava vavatekhenchelii vakhanchoochela khuvanu ukhu yuleega khuu savuti eimbaha adinduliwe u Baraba umwene asigale.
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.
12 U Pilati akhajibu khavili akhata, “Neivombe kheikhii khu Ntwa vavayahudi?
“Then what should I do with the one you call the King of the Jews?” he asked them.
13 Vakha yuleege, “Asulusiwe!”
“Crucify him!” they shouted back.
14 U Pilati akhata, “Avombile mbombo nyikhei imbivii?” Pu vakhendelela ukhu yulega sana “Asulusiwe (abuduwe).”
“Why? What crime has he committed?” Pilate asked them. “Crucify him!” they shouted back even louder.
15 U Pilati vuunogwa ukhuvali sesya uvumati, wa vanu akha olindulela u Baraba. Akhantova u Yesu nei michapi akhangu mya abuchiwe (Asuhubule).
Wanting to please the mob, Pilate released Barabbas to them. First he had Jesus flogged and then handed him over to be crucified.
16 Usikhali akhandongoncha mugati mulivuva (lila lila eilya mukambi) vaei vunganinche pu paninie ava sikhali.
The soldiers took him away into the Praetorium courtyard, where they called out the whole cohort.
17 Vakha fyalincha u Yesu eimienda gwa sambalawe, va khahona eikheili kya vuntwa vakha fyalincha.
They put royal purple robes on him and made a crown of thorns that they placed on him.
18 Vakhatengula ukhubedamwa nukhuta, “Ugonile vintwa vava yahudi!”
Then they saluted him, saying, “Hail King of the Jews!”
19 Vakhantova khuntwe nelilanji nukhubehela amati. Vakhafungama khuvulongolo ukhudwada.
They repeatedly beat him around the head with a rod, spat at him, and fell on their knees before him as if in worship.
20 Vuvamalile ukhubedanwa vakhafula ei kanjo ya mwene, ei ya sambalawe nukhufyalincha emienda gwaa mwene, yakhang'uumya khunji nukhuluta khukhubuda.
After they finished mocking him, they took off the purple robes, and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to be crucified.
21 Vakhandasimisya ugenda njila ukhuntanga uvialutaga khuujini ahumile khukhialo uvialilangiwaga Simoni Mkirene (Ubabaye usikanda rufo); vakhandasimisya ukhugega eikhi damilihani kya Yesu.
They forced a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the countryside, to carry his cross. Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus.
22 Avasikhali vakha gega u Yesu aponu apapi khuei langiwa Goligota (eimana ya yene eikhee nchege kya ntwe).
They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means “the Place of the Skull.”
23 Vakhampa eimunu eimikali eigee vahanjinuee ne manemane, akha bela ukhunywa.
They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it.
24 Vakhantovelela vakhagavana emienda gwa mwene, vakhatova nee kula veni usikhali umbaha akhave.
Then they crucified him. They divided his clothes, and threw dice to decide who would have what.
25 Yale ndei sau idatu vukhilo upuvatovelelaga.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
26 Vikha vikha khuntule eikhei bavo eikhe vasimbile inongwa umbaha (untwa vava yahudi).”
A sign with the written charge against him read: “The King of the Jews.”
27 Vanto velile paninie navaliasi vavile, uyunge eikhivokho kyandwo uyunge eikhei vokho kya hegei.
They crucified two criminals with him, one on his left and one on his right.
28 Pu elimenyu likhatimila ulyu lyanchovile.
29 Vala avava gendaga vakhadukha nukhuta, ehee uvivudenya eetembile nukhunchenga isikhu idatu,
People passing by shouted insults at him, shaking their heads, and saying. “Aha! You who claimed you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days;
30 Eepokheyuve wikhee pasi uhege pa kheedanilihani!”
save yourself and come down from the cross!”
31 Vivule vule na vavaha va vatekhenche va khabedanwa paninie navasimbi nukhuta, “Akhapokhile avange eilemwa ukhwei pokha yoywa.
Likewise the chief priests and the religious teachers made fun of him, saying to each other, “He saved others, but he can't save himself.
32 UKristi untwa vavaislaeli, eekha pasi lino uhega pa khida milihanwe navala avava oveleliwe paninie vope vakha bedanwa.
If he really is the Messiah, the King of Israel, then why doesn't he come down from the cross so we can see and believe!” Even those who were crucified with him insulted him.
33 Vuyefikhe esaa fifa eihisi yei khincha pakianya pakhilunga kyoni mpakha pa saa tisa.
At noon darkness fell over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
34 Usikhe gwa saa tisa, u Yesu akhaywega eisavuti eemba, “Eli, Eli, lama saba katani?” Nguluve vango, Nguluve vango, kheekhii undekhile?”
At three o'clock Jesus cried out, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani,” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
35 Pu vala avava emile vuvapulikhe vakhata, “Lola, ikhimuilanga u Eliya.”
Some of those standing there heard this, and said, “He's calling for Elijah.”
36 Umunu yumo akhanyila, akhadincha eisikhii musiponji akhavekha mulilanji akhampa anyule. Umunu yumo akhata indekhetulole ndii khuuincha u Eliya khukhuu mwisya pasi.”
One man ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, put it on a stick, and tried to give it to Jesus to drink. “Leave him alone,” he said. “Let's see if Elijah will come to take him down.”
37 Pu u Yesu akhalila khu savuti embaha akhafya.
Then Jesus groaned loudly, and died.
38 Pu eelipasia lya tembile leikha banchukha ifipande fivili ukhuhuma khukianya mpakha pasi.
The Temple veil was ripped in two from top to bottom.
39 Umwembi yumo uviaemile alikhuluta khwa Yesu, vu alole vuifyandalula akhata luleli umunu uyu akhale mwana va Nguluve.”
When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how he died, he said, “This man was truly the Son of God.”
40 Valipo avadala avavalolaga khuvutali pagati pavene alipo Umaliamu (umama va Yakobo ununave va Yose), nu Salome.
Some women were watching from a distance including Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses, and Salome.
41 Ukhii uguvale khu Galilaya vakongile nukhu mbombela navadala avange vingi vakongine nave ukhu fikhakhu Yerusalemu.
They had followed Jesus and had taken care of him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come with him to Jerusalem were also there.
42 Vuyefikhe lyakheimihe ulwakhuva yale sikhu ya khuu yandala ukhugalalukha,
It was Friday, the day before the Sabbath. When evening came,
43 UYosefu vakhu Almathaya akhincha pala ale mbombi valibalasa uveidwadewa umunu uviugulela uludeva lwa Nguluve. Namakha akhalula khwa Pilati, khudova umbili gwa Yesu.
Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the governing council who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, had the courage to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus' body.
44 UPilati akhaswiga ukhuta u Yesu afyuile; akhamwe langa u ofisa akhambuncha ingave Yesu afyile.
Pilate was surprised that Jesus had died so soon, so he summoned the centurion and asked him if Jesus had already died.
45 Vu apatile eihabari ukhuta u Yesu afyile, akhanchuhusu u Yusufu ukhutola umbile gwa Yesu.
Once he had confirmation from the centurion, Pilate gave permission for Joseph to take the body.
46 UYosefu agulile umweenda akhamwisya ukhuhuma pa kheidamilihani akhabina mumwenda nukhumbeikha mulipumba.
Joseph bought a linen sheet. Then he took Jesus' body down from the cross and wrapped it in the sheet, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of rock. Then he rolled a heavy stone up against the entrance.
47 Umaliamu Magdalene nu Maliamu umamaye Yose vakhalola upuvasielile u Yesu.
Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where he was laid.
