Mark 15 (EKA) · Opened

1Etoono efungfu behko atubesi abalimajom, atꞌtibi ba atahm, anebkul nfam, a atul bako ba esub kehm toobo ana bo bahke limi. Bo kehm kake Jisos agbekobo, kehm-e rodo, tahm a ne, song kak Pailet go ebo.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.

2Pailet kehm-e bahbe re, “Wo wo li ntul no Jusa?” Jisos kehm taame re, “Ee, me wo.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Atubesi abalimajom bao ona kehm kehme eltooro nsol gbalee, fere jo ka-e ebi.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Pailet kehm kpe bahb Jisos re, “A nehm faanga? A nehme wuk ebi ji bo kp-a kaka?”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Jisos kpeem faange ejumjum. Pailet kehm-e kpoko esi area.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Ngare elkak (Pasova) anyehng anyehng Pailet jo yehke nne a ngbekobo awohng yake, no bo lꞌseb.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Ngare nyio ona nne awohng woomo go ngbekobo, no bo jo lung-e re Barabas, budu ate ebe ba jo wul ane, eji bo jo jokko ejahbe.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Eji ellong ane kame no ba rur, bo kehm tongo Pailet re, á yehke nne awohng. Ano wo eljini ene jolo no, ni á jo kono ellimi.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Pailet kehm bahbe bo re, “Ń kpꞌsebe re me n yehke ntul no Jus ka-na?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Á jo kahne re, atubesi abalimajom ebyake Jisos ka-e, tib eji á jo teele bo ala.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Atubesi abalimajom kehm nyare ellong ane bao, eji bo lꞌgbiingi Pailet, á yehke Barabas yake, fere wul Jisos.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Pailet kehm kpe bung tong ellong ane bao re, “Jen ji ń kpꞌsebe re me n lim nne noa no ń kp-e lungu re ntul no Jus?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Bo kehm rabe re, “Kum-e go ekros!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Pailet kehm bahbe re, “Anv, jen ji á ma lꞌlim?” Bo kehm kpe rabe tiim re, “Kum-e go ekros!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Pailet jo sebe re, ellong ane bao bel eyebatahng, owo á kehm yehke Barabas yake, yake Jisos ka, bo dv-e. Bo dv-e kan a me, Pailet rod-e, kak nsoja go abo re bo song kum-e go ekros.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Nsoja nyio kehm rodo Jisos, yange a ne go nlaaga ntubesi ejahbe. Bo kehm lungu ellong nsoja nehko re bo ba.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Bo kehm kake Jisos mbilibili ekpawobo ana ji atul jo kono elkake, kehm tahnge ekpasi akpiri, ba konng-e go esi.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Bo kehm-e kehme nnyo mia kak re, “Wo noaa, ntul ewahra?”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Bo kehm koko ebti, jo rum-e go esi, kehm kehme atel so wohng-e, jo gbo jamm-e alahng, are bo kp-e kake na.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Bo nohk-e kan a rahke, bo kehm-e yehke ekpawobo jio, kehm feere a nsol enye kak-e, tahm a ne re bo song kum-e go ekros.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.

21Eji bo fi mbang mbang, bo kehm nyehne nne no bo jo lung-e re Saimon ji lohng mmojahbe noko kpꞌbake go Jeusalem. Bo kehm-e bobo re á sol ekros ji Jisos. Saimon jolo nne a Sirin, ye wo jele Aleksanda, a Rufus.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.

22Bo kehm koko Jisos tahm a ne go edi ji bo jo lung re Golgota, ji lohngo re Edi Nkpakesi.They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Owo bo gare re bo ka-e amahm semme anyane nya bo kpo lung re mmir. Jisos tikem wo.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Bo kehm-e kumu go ekros, rod abomo enye bum, fere tub elfaange re bo kahn ana nne awohng awohng bahke koko.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Jolo nkaranka esehmwubu nyi efungfu nyi bo kum-e go ekros.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Ejum ji wahng ka bo kum-e lake go ekros, ji ji bo nyono go ekros re, “A wo li ntul no Jus.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Bo tob kumu awulane, ane abal lake ona, noko, bo kum-e go ege ejang eboblum, noko go ege ejang ebobkal.Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Ana wo li ellum ni nnyehnamahr Esowo bungu no go nkꞌkula ngare re, “Bo bahk-e fange kak go ellong abi ane.” Ni ni a, ma lohko jol.Not in the BSB

29Ane ba jo sehng mbang jo tiib-e abo, fere jo su-e re, “A tongo re, a bahke wake etahk Esowo, fere tuungu si ji nfenfe go nfung era.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,

30Tahre elna, wo badde go ekros me!”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Atubesi abalimajom, a atꞌtibi ba atahm jo tꞌtob nyok-e fvfo, fere jo bung atemtem re, “Á kpo tahre ane bako. Yefono nehm ma tahre elne.In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Nong, wahr nyehn ana Kraist, ntul no Israel, bahke badde go ekros ba, eji e lꞌtaame tv-e.” Ane ba, bo tob kum bo go akros fvfo jo tꞌtob su Jisos.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.

33Eji efin ma yiimi, ejannge kehm gboko go ejahbe jio kpee, ji tete biingi awa na ara.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Nkaranka era nyi elgung Jisos kehm rabe wꞌwahre wꞌwahre re, “Eloi eloi lama sabaktani!” ji lohngo re, “Nsoo, nsoo, jen ji wahng ka a ma-m yake anae?”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?”

35Eji egom ane bandiki ba jolo ona wuku alum nya Jisos bungu no, bo kehm bungu re, “Wuken, á kpi Elaija lung.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Nne awohng kehm beke song ko ndꞌdahng, suku go amahm, tung go esi ebti, kehm tabe ton Jisos go ege a nnyo re á yab. Á kehm bungu re, “Nong, wahr tohko nyꞌnyehn, joare Elaija bahke bake, ba fon-e go ekros.”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.”

37Jisos kehm soro rabe, soro kpo.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Ekpiki ji bo tohko go etahk Esowo kehm soro yang, bomo ero tete ba jahm ndi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Eji ntubesi a nsoja no yiimi ona wane go ekros nyehne ana Jisos kpo no, á kehm bungu re, “Nne noa ana lohko jol Mmon Esowo!”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!”

40Anebkal bako jolo ona, ba yiimi go fee, jo nyehn, Salome a Meri ji lohng go Magdala, go Meri nnyehn a Joses abola Jems, ji jolo mmonse. Bo tob woomo go ellong nio.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.

41Bo jo toono Jisos ngare nyi á jolo go Galili, fere jo kak-e ebo. Ellong anebkal bako ba tob toono Jisos ba go Jeusalem fvfo, tob jolo o.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.

42Efung bi bo kpo toobo ebjing bi elkak Pasova, bi sene efung Esabat,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43owo Josef ji lohng go Arimatia kehm bake. Á jolo nlamalam no jo sahb lꞌlub ane. Á jo siki elbake nio ni etul bi Esowo. Josef jo sahb tahm song kpiri ntul a Pailet, kehm-e bahbe re á lub taame, á song fono ekv ji Jisos.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.

44Pailet kehm-e sahb kpꞌkpo esi, eji á wuku re, Jisos ebtahr kpꞌkpo. Á kehm lungu ntubesi a nsoja, kehm-e bahbe, joare yebtahr kpꞌkpo.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Eji Pailet wuku goji ntubesi a nsoja noo re, yeblohko kpo, á kehm tongo Josef re, á song fono ekv ji Jisos, song a ji.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Josef kehm gunu mbarebara mbomo, kehm song fono ekv ji Jisos, fere kpennge mbomo mio, rod tahm a ji, song kak go elahm bi bo rahme go ekpartal. Á kehm bannge eltal, bulu go nnyo elahm.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.

47Meri ji lohng go Magdala, abola Meri nnyehn Joses, bo jo kpuru re bo nyehn edi ji bo kake Jisos.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
