John 19
1 Na Pilate el sap in utukla Jesus ac in sringsring el.
After that, Pilate had Jesus scourged.
2 Mwet mweun uh pwelah tefuro se ke lah ma oasr otoh kac ac oakiya fin sifal, na elos nokmulang ke nuknuk sroninmutuk loeloes se
The soldiers made a crown with some thorns and put it on his head and threw a purple robe round him.
3 ac tuku nu yorol ac fahk, “Paing kom, Tokosra lun mwet Jew!” Ac elos fahsryang ac srunglul ke paolos.
They kept coming up to him and saying, ‘Long live the king of the Jews!’ and they gave him blow after blow with their hands.
4 Pilate el sifilpa tufoki nu yurin mwet uh ac fahk, “Liye, nga ac usalu nu yuruwos tuh kowos in etu lah nga koflana konauk kutena ma koluk lun mwet se inge.”
Pilate again came outside, and said to the people, ‘Look! I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find nothing with which he can be charged.’
5 Ouinge Jesus el ilme, susuyang ke tefuro in otoh sac ac nuknukyang ke nuknuk sroninmutuk loeloes sac. Pilate el fahk nu selos, “Liye! Pa inge mwet sac!”
Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate said to them, ‘Here is the man!’
6 Ke mwet tol fulat ac mwet topang lun Tempul elos liyal, elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Srupsrulak! Srupsrulak fin sakseng soko!” Pilate el fahk nu selos, “Kowos sifacna usal ac srupsrulak. Nga tia konauk kutena ma koluk lal.”
When the chief priests and the guards saw him, they shouted, ‘Crucify him! Crucify him!’ ‘Take him yourselves and crucify him,’ said Pilate. ‘For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.’
7 Un mwet uh topuk ac fahk, “Oasr ma sap lasr ma fahk mu fal elan misa, mweyen el oru mu el Wen nutin God.”
‘But we,’ replied the crowd, ‘have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God.’
8 Ke Pilate el lohng ma se inge, el arulana sangeng liki meet ah.
When Pilate heard what they said, he became still more alarmed;
9 El sifilpa utyak nu in lohm sel ac siyuk sin Jesus, “Kom tuku oya me?” Tuh Jesus el tiana topuk.
and, going into the Government house again, he said to Jesus, ‘Where do you come from?’
10 Pilate el fahk nu sel, “Ya kom ac tia kas nu sik? Esam, oasr ku luk in tulekomla ac oayapa in unikowi fin sakseng.”
But Jesus made no reply. So Pilate said to him, ‘Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?’
11 Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “God El funu tia asot ku nu sum, lukun wangin ku lom fuk. Ke ma inge, mwet se ma eisyuwot nu inpoum uh, mwatal yohk liki kom.”
‘You would have no power over me at all,’ answered Jesus, ‘if it had not been given you from above; and, therefore, the man who betrayed me to you is guilty of the greater sin.’
12 Ke Pilate el lohng ma inge, el srike in suk elan tulalla Jesus. Tuh un mwet uh wowoyak ac fahk, “Kom fin tulalla, kalmac pa kom tia mwet kawuk lal Caesar! Kutena mwet su oru mu el sie tokosra el lain Leum Fulat lun acn Rome!”
This made Pilate anxious to release him; but the crowd shouted, ‘If you release that man, you are no friend of the Emperor! Anyone who makes himself out to be a king is setting himself against the Emperor!’
13 Ke Pilate el lohng kas inge, el pwanulla Jesus nu likin lohm ah, ac muta fin mwe muta in nununku in acn se ma pangpang “Falful Eot.” (In kas Hebrew pangpang “Gabbatha.”)
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out, and took his seat on the Bench at a place called “The Stone Pavement” – in Hebrew “Gabbatha.”
14 In pacl sac apkuran in sun infulwen len ke len se meet liki Kufwen Alukela. Pilate el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Pa inge tokosra lowos an!”
It was the Passover Preparation day, and about noon. Then he said to the crowd, ‘Here is your king!’
15 Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Unilya! Unilya! Srupsrulak fin sakseng soko!” Pilate el siyuk selos, “Mea, kowos lungse nga in uniya tokosra lowos fin sakseng soko?” Mwet tol fulat elos topuk, “Tokosra sefanna lasr, pa Caesar!”
At that the people shouted, ‘Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!’ ‘What! Should I crucify your king?’ exclaimed Pilate. ‘We have no king but the Emperor,’ replied the chief priests;
16 Na Pilate el eisalang Jesus nu selos elos in unilya fin sakseng.
so Pilate gave Jesus up to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus;
17 Ouinge elos eisal Jesus, ac el illa ac sifacna us sakseng lal, som nu ke acn se pangpang “Sri In Ahlunsuf.” (In kas Hebrew pangpang “Golgotha.”)
and he went out, carrying his cross himself, to the place which is named from a skull, or, in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18 Elos srupsrulak we fin sakseng soko, ac elos srupusrak pac mwet luo saya, sie lac ac sie lac, ac Jesus infulwa.
There they crucified him, and two others with him – one on each side, and Jesus between them.
19 Pilate el simusla sie mwe fahkak ac sang in sripsripi ke sakseng soko ah. Kas el simusla kac uh pa, “Jesus Lun Nazareth, Tokosra Lun Mwet Jew.”
Pilate also had these words written and put up over the cross – “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
20 Mwet puspis riti, mweyen acn se Jesus el sripsripyak we ah tia loes liki siti uh. Ma simla sac simla ke kas Hebrew, kas Latin, ac kas Greek.
These words were read by many people, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and they were written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.
21 Mwet tol fulat elos fahk nu sel Pilate, “Nik kom simis mu, ‘Tokosra Lun Mwet Jew,’ a wo in fahk mu, ‘Mwet se inge fahk mu, Nga pa Tokosra Lun Mwet Jew.’”
The chief priests said to Pilate, ‘Do not write “The king of the Jews”, but write what the man said – “I am the king of the Jews.”’
22 Pilate el topuk, “Ma nga simusla tari ac wi na.”
But Pilate answered, ‘What I have written, I have written.’
23 Tukun mwet mweun elos srupsrulak Jesus tari fin sakseng, elos eis nuknuk lal ac kitalik nu ke ip akosr, kais sie ip nu sin kais sie selos. Elos eis pac nuknuk loeloes lal ma tollac ke ip sefanna, wangin kwatuta kac.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares – a share for each soldier – and they took the coat also. The coat had no seam, being woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 Mwet mweun elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wona kut in tia seseya, a kut susfa kac in konauk lah su ac la uh.” Ma inge sikyak in akpwayei Ma Simusla su fahk: “Elos kitalik nuknuk luk inmasrlolos Ac susfa ke nuknuk loeloes luk.” Na pa inge ma mwet mweun elos oru.
So they said to one another, ‘Do not let us tear it, but let us cast lots for it, to see who will have it.’ This was in fulfilment of the words of scripture – “They shared my clothes among them, and over my clothing they cast lots.” That was what the soldiers did.
25 Mwet su tu apkuran nu ke sakseng soko ah pa nina kial Jesus, tamtael lun nina kial, Mary mutan kial Clopas, ac Mary Magdalene.
Meanwhile near the cross of Jesus were standing his mother and his mother’s sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary of Magdala.
26 Jesus el liye nina kial ac mwet lutlut se su el lungse ke eltal tukeni tu insac; na el fahk nu sin nina kial, “El inge el wen nutum.”
When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing near, he said to his mother, ‘There is your son.’
27 Na el fahk nu sin mwet lutlut sac, “El inge el nina kiom.” Tukun pacl sac mwet lutlut sac eisal nina sac nu in lohm sel sifacna in muta yorol.
Then he said to that disciple, ‘There is your mother.’ And from that very hour the disciple took her to live in his house.
28 Ke pacl se inge Jesus el etu lah ma nukewa aksafleyukla tari. In akpwayeye Ma Simusla el fahk, “Nga malu.”
Afterwards, knowing that everything was now finished, Jesus said, in fulfilment of the words of scripture, ‘I am thirsty.’
29 Ahlu se oan we, sessesla ke wain vinegar, ouinge twenyuki insroal se ke wain uh, na itukyang nu ke sak hyssop soko ac kokoyang nu ke oalul.
There was a bowl standing there full of common wine; so they put a sponge soaked in the wine on the end of a hyssop-stalk, and held it up to his mouth.
30 Jesus el nimya wain sac ac fahk, “Safla tari!” Na kipatu kwawal ac el fuhleak ngunal.
When Jesus had received the wine, he exclaimed, ‘All is finished!’ Then, bowing his head, he resigned his spirit to God.
31 Len sac len Friday se, len in akoo nu ke Sabbath, na mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos tia lungse mano inge in oanna fin sakseng ke len Sabbath, mweyen Sabbath se inge arulana mutal nu selos. Ke ma inge elos siyuk sel Pilate elan lela elos in kotalik nien mwet ma sripsripyak, ac eisya manolos liki sakseng uh.
It was the Preparation day, and so, to prevent the bodies from remaining on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 Ouinge mwet mweun elos som koteya nien mwet se meet ah, na toko mwet se akluo ma welul Jesus anwuki ah.
Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and then those of the other who had been crucified with Jesus;
33 A ke pacl se elos tuku nu yorol Jesus, elos liye lah el misa tari, ke ma inge elos tiana koto nial.
but, on coming to him, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 Ne ouinge, sie sin mwet mweun el fakisang osra natul ah nu ke la sial Jesus, ac in pacl sacna srah ac kof tukenina sororla kacl. (
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water immediately flowed from it.
35 Mwet se ma liye ke ma inge sikyak el orek loh kac, tuh kowos in ku pac in wi lulalfongi. Ma el fahk kac ma pwaye, ac el etu lah el kaskas pwaye.)
This is the statement of one who actually saw it – and his statement may be relied on, and he knows that he is speaking the truth – and it is given in order that you also may be convinced.
36 Ma inge orekla tuh in akpwayei Ma Simusla su fahk: “Tia sokofanna sri kacl fah kaptelik.”
For all this happened in fulfilment of the words of scripture – “Not one of its bones will be broken.”
37 Ac oasr pac sie Ma Simusla su fahk, “Elos ac fah ngetang liye el su elos tuh fakisya.”
And there is another passage which says – “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
38 Tukun ma inge Joseph, su sie mwet in siti srisrik Arimathea, el siyuk sel Pilate lah el ac ku in eisya monin Jesus. (Joseph el sie mwet fahsr tukun Jesus, tusruktu in lukma, mweyen el sangeng sin mwet fulat lun mwet Jew.) Pilate el fahk nu sel mu el ku in eis mano sac, ke ma inge Joseph el som ac usla.
After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus – but a secret one, owing to his fear of the religious authorities – begged Pilate’s permission to remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him leave; so Joseph went and removed the body.
39 Nicodemus, mwet se su tuh som meet nu yorol Jesus ke fong, el welul Joseph, ac el us akuran paun siofok ke mwe keng luo inge: myrrh ac aloes akulamisiyak.
Nicodemus, too – the man who had formerly visited Jesus by night – came with a roll of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.
40 Mwet luo inge eis monin Jesus ac pwella ke nuknuk linen wi mwe keng, fal nu ke ouiya lun mwet Jew ke akoeyen sie mano nu ke pukpuki.
They took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
41 Oasr sie ima ke acn se ma Jesus el anwuki we, ac in acn sac oasr kulyuk na sasu se su soenna oasr mwet pukpuki loac.
At the place where Jesus had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a newly made tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Ke sripen luf sac oan apkuran, oayapa ke sripen len se inge len se meet liki len Sabbath, elos filiya monin Jesus we.
And so, because of its being the Preparation day, and as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
