Mark 15 (DOV) · Opened

1Muchifumofumo, bapati babapayizi bakabungana abaalu abalembi abasilutwe babbooma lya Judiya. Bakamwanga bamutola. Akumupeda kuli Payileti.Early in the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin devised a plan. They bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.

2Payileti wakabuzya kuti, “Nduwe Mwami waba Juda na?” Wakasandula kuti, “Wamba”.So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Bapayizi bapati bakali kumutamikizya zintu zyiingi.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Alubo Payileti wakabuzya, “Tosanduli na?” Langa kuvula zintu zyiingi nzibali kukutamikizya!”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Pesi Jesu takwe naakamusandula, mpawo eecho chakamugambya Payileti.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Kuchindi chapobwe, Payileti wakaba angunywida umwi wabange, mwange ngubatanoli bakumbila.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Mpawo kwakali mwalumi utegwa Bbanabbasi muntolongo kalamwi abapati bakali amilandu yabujayi muchindi chalupapi.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Makamu akaza kuli Payileti mpawo bakatalika kukumbila kuti achite echo nchakali kunoonga wabachitila.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Payileti wakabasandula wati, “Muyanda kuti ndimwangunwide Mwami waba Juda na?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10We wakalizi kuti nkambo kabbivwe bapayizi bapati nchibakaaba Jesu kulinguwe.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Pesi bapayizi bapati bakasungilizya makamu kuti balilile kwangununwa kwaBbanabbasi.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Payileti wakasandula lubo wakati, “Mpoo ndichite biyeni aMwami wabaJuda?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Bakawompolola lubo, “Ngagankaminwe!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Payileti wakabambila kuti, “Mulandunzi ngwakachita?” Pesi bakayinkilila kunembo akoompolola kuti, “Amumugankamine”.“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Payileti wakayanda kukutisika makamu, elyo wakabangunwida Bbanabbasi. Wakamupenzya Jesu mpawo wamupeda kuti akagankaminwe.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Basilumamba bakamutola bamunjizya mubbetekelo (alingawo maanda afulumende mapati), mpawo bakayita imbunga yabasilumamba.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Bakamubikka kunembo wantumbula Jesu, mpawo bakazinga musini wamaamvwa elyo bakamusamika.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Bakatalika kumuseka kabati, “Mwalemekwa, Mwami wabaJuda!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Bakali kumumuma mumtwe atete mpawo bakamuswida mate. Bamufugamina akumukotamikila mitwe.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Nibakamana kumusonsya, bakamugwisya mulembo wantumbula mpawo bamusamika zisamo zyakwe, elyo bakamutola kuyomugankamina.After they had mocked Him, they removed the purple robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.

21Umwi mwalumi, Sayimoni wakuSayilini, wakayabuza kuzwa kumunzi (wakali wisi wa Alekizanda a Lufusi), mpawo bakamwangila kuti amubwezele chiingano.Now Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and the soldiers forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

22Basilumamba bakeeta Jesu kubusena butegwa Gologota (busenandululwa kutegwa, “Busena bwazipepe zyamyitwe”).They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Bakamupa wayini ivwelengene andulwe, pesi takanywa pe.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Bakamugankamina mpawo bakaabana zisamo zyakwe bakasaana chisolo kuti basilumamba babone kuti umwi ulabweza chisamo chaaliAnd they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Chakali chiindi chahola lyatatu nibakamugankamina.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Achikwankwani bakalemba mulandu ngubakamupa, bakati, “Mwami wabaJuda”.And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Bakamugankamina aamwi ababbi babili, umwi kululyo lwakwe umwi kulumwensi lwakwe.Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Malembi mabotu akale taakwe Makko 15: 28, (Malembe akazuzikizigwa akuti, “Wakabb. alikizigwa amwi abasikutyola milawo)Not in the BSB

29Abo bakali kwiinda nibakamubona bakali kutikinia mitwe kabati, “Iiwe! nokonzya kumwaya chikombelo mpawo akuchiyakulula mumazuba otatwe,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

30Livune useluke achingano!”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Munzila ikozyenie, bapati bapayizi bakati kumuniaka antoomwe abalembi, mpawo bakati, “Wakafutula bamwi, pesi takonzyi kulifutula.In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Akube kuti Kilisito, Mwami wa Izilayeli, aseluka lino achingano ikuti tubone akusyoma.” Abalabo bakagankaminwa amwi anguwe bakamuseka.Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” And even those who were crucified with Him berated Him.

33Muhola lyamusanu alimwi, mudima wakazulila busena boonse kusikila kuhola lyamusanu aane.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Muhola lyamusanu aane Jesu wakalila ajwi pati wakati, “Eloyi, Eloyi, sabakkatani?” echi chipandulula kuti, “Leza wangu, Leza wangu wandisilaanzi?”At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

35Bamwi babaabo bakayimvwi kumbali bakamvwa majwi akwe mpawo bakati, “Langa, ulikwiita Elija.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Umwi wakachijana, wakanika nsinsa muwayini ilweela, wachibikka atete, mpawo wakamupa kuti anywe. Mwalumwi oyu wakati, “Atubone naa Elija ulaza kuzomwangununa.”And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He put it on a reed and held it up for Jesus to drink, saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”

37Elyo Jesu wakalila ajwi pati mpawo wafwa.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Isila lyachikombelo lyakadeluka muzipanzi zibili kuzwa kujulu kusika ansi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Elyo mupati wabasilumamba balimwaanda wakayimvwi kalangide Jesu naakabona kuti wafwa munzila eyi, wakati, “Masimpe mwalumi oyu wali Mwana waLeza.”When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how He had breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

40Kwakaliko alimwi banakazi bakali kweebela chakule. Akati kabo kwakali Maliya Magadalini, Maliya (bayina a Jemusi mwanike a Josesi) mwalumi walikutegwa Josesi lino utegwa Jozefu muli Makko 6: 3. Izina liti Josefu lyiimikilila mbuli mbulyakali kwaamba muchiHebbulu, mpawo izina liti Josesi lyiimikilila mbuli mbulyakali kwaambwa muchiGilikki, mpawo a Salume.And there were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

41Nakali muGalili bakalikumutobela mpawo akuchita milimu yakwe. Alimwi banakazi bayingi abalabo bakali kumusindikila ku Jelusalema.These women had followed Jesus and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and there were many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.

42Nilyakaba golezya, nkambo kakuti lyakaliZuba lya Mabambe, nkuukuti, izuba lilimusanu abuzuba butegwa Sabata,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Jozefu waku Alimatiya wakasika aawo. Wakali kulemekwa kali umwi wabapati bachisi wakali kulindila bwaami bwaLeza. Wakayinka chabulemu kuli Payileti mpawo wakakumbila mutunta waJesu.Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent Council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

44Payileti chakamgambya kuti Jesu wakali wafwa kale; wakayita mupati wabasilumamba bali mwaanda mpawo wakabuzya kuti kulinguwe Jesu wafwa.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Elyo Payileti nakaziba kuzwa kumupati wabasilumamba balimwaanda kuti Jesu wafwa, wakuupa Jozefu mutunta.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Jozefu wakawula mulembo utentema wakamwangununa achingano, wamuvungilizya amulembo utentema, mpawo wamulazika muchiyumbwe chamumpako yabbwe. Elyo wakatendelesya bbwe wajala mulyango wachumbwe.So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

47Maliya Magadalini a Maliya bayina a Josesi bakakubona busena Jesu mbwakalazikwa.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
