Mark 15 (IKZ) · Opened

1Hanʉ bhwɨrirɨbhu, ichandarʉ chʉsi cha abhakʉrʉ bha abhakuhaani, abhakaruka na abhiija bhi imigirʉ ja Musa, bhakiisiriranʼya. Bhakabhoha Yɨɨsu, bhakamuhira kwa Piraato.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.

2Piraato akamubhuurya, “Awɨ naawɨ ʉmʉtɨmi wa Abhayaahudi?” Yɨɨsu akamʉgarukirya, “Awɨ ʉgambirɨ.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Abhakʉrʉ bha abhakuhaani bhaarɨ bharamʉgamba kʉbha akʉrirɨ amabhɨ maaru.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Piraato akamubhuurya naatu, akabhuga, “Ʉtakʉgarukirya ingʼana ryʉryʉsi? Rora chɨmbu bhakʉkʉgamba awɨ amabhɨ amaaru.”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Nawe Yɨɨsu atamʉgarukiiryɨ chʉchʉsi. Neho Piraato akarʉgʉʉra!But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Musigukuru yɨ Ɨpasaka, Piraato aarɨ ni isimʉka yu ukumutigʉrʉkɨra omobhohwa wʉmwɨ, wʉnʉ abhaatʉ bhaarɨ bhakʉsabha atazurwɨ.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Ribhaga riyo mokebhoho bhaarɨmu abhaatʉ bhanʉ bhiichurirɨ na kokora ubhwiti mubhwangi bhwabhʉ. Wʉmwɨ wa abhiiti bhayo aarɨ arabhirikirwa Bharaabha.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Riribhita ikʉrʉ rya abhaatʉ bhakaja kwa Piraato, bhakamʉsabha abhatazʉrɨrɨ omobhohwa wʉmwɨ, chɨmbu aanarirɨ kokora.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Piraato akabhabhuurya, “Nangʉ, moreenda nɨbhatazʉrɨrɨ ʉmʉtɨmi wa Abhayaahudi?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Akagambabhu kʉ kʉbha akamenya kʉbha abhakʉrʉ bha abhakuhaani bhakamuhira Yɨɨsu kwewe igʉrʉ we engʼeera yaabhʉbhu.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Nawe abhakʉrʉ bha abhakuhaani bhakasiigirirya riribhita rya abhaatʉ rirya, rɨkasabha Piraato abhatazʉrɨrɨ Bharaabha.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Piraato akabhabhuurya naatu, “Mmbe, moreenda nekorebhwɨ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ mukubhuga nɨ‑mʉtɨmi wa Abhayaahudi?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhakarɨgɨsa bharabhuga, “Mʉmʉbhambɨ kʉmʉsarabha!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Piraato akabhabhuurya, “Asariryɨkɨ?” Neho ebho bhakangʼeha kʉrɨgɨsa bhʉkʉngʼu, bharabhuga, “Mʉmʉbhambɨ kʉmʉsarabha!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Piraato kwa kʉsɨɨga kʉsambarucha riribhita rya abhaatʉ riyo, akabhatazʉrɨra Bharaabha. Akaswaja abhasirikarɨ korereke bhateme Yɨɨsu ɨmɨzariti, bhakamotema. Akʉmara akamuhurucha bhamʉbhambɨ kʉmʉsarabha.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Abhasirikarɨ bhakagega Yɨɨsu, bhakaja nawe mwikʉrʉ rya Piraato. Bhakabhiringa riribhita ikʉrʉ rya abhasirikarɨ.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Bhakamwibhohya engebho ya zambaraawɨ. Bhakagisa ɨkɨrʉngʉ cha amahwa, bhakamwibhohya kumutwɨ.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Bhakatanga komokeerya kwa kusiihya, “Morembe, ʉmʉtɨmi wa Abhayaahudi!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Bhaarɨ bharamotema kumutwɨ na rikʉrɨ na kumutwɨra amatɨ, bhakamuhigamɨra kwa kumukumya.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Hanʉ bhaamarirɨ kumusiihya, bhakamuruusha engebho ya zambaraawɨ yirya, na kumwibhohya naatu zengebho zaazɨ. Bhakamuhira bhamʉbhambɨ kʉmʉsarabha.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.

21Kʉnzɨra, bhakarumana nʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aarɨ akʉhɨta kʉrʉbhɨri kurwa mʉmʉgʉndʉ, iriina ryazɨ Simʉʉni kurwa Kireene. Ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo aarɨ wiisɨ Arɨkizanda na Ruufʉ. Abhasirikarɨ bhakamʉhatɨka agege ʉmʉsarabha gwa Yɨɨsu.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.

22Bhakahira Yɨɨsu hanʉ haabhirikiirwɨ Gʉrigʉʉta, enzobhooro yaku nɨ‑kʉKɨhanga chu Umutwɨ.They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Bhakaha Yɨɨsu idivaayi yɨnʉ bhaasangɨɨnʼyɨ nʉ ʉmʉtɨ, nawe ewe akaanga kunywa.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Neho bhakamʉbhamba kʉmʉsarabha, na bhakatwana zengebho zaazɨ. Bhakakora ubhwitʉʉri kuhitya wɨɨwɨ aragega engebhokɨ.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Ribhaga rɨnʉ bhaamʉbhambirɨ, yaarɨ ɨsa isatʉ ritabhʉʉri.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Bhakatʉʉra igʉrʉ wʉ ʉmʉsarabha amaandɨkʉ gʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwazɨ, gaarɨ garabhuga, “Ʉmʉtɨmi wa Abhayaahudi.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Bhakamʉbhamba na abhasaakuri bhabhɨrɨ kʉmɨsarabha, ʉwʉmwɨ ʉrʉbhaara rwazɨ rwu ubhuryʉ nʉ ʉwʉndɨ ʉrʉbhaara rwʉ ʉbhʉmʉsi. [Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Neho gakakunana Amaandɨkʉ Amarɨndu ganʉ gakubhuga, “Akabharwa hamwɨmwɨ na abhakʉri bha amabhɨ.”]Not in the BSB

29Abhaatʉ bhanʉ bhaarɨ bhakʉhɨta kʉnzɨra hayo, bhakamʉtʉka, bharasingisha imitwɨ jabhʉ bharabhuga, “Aa! Awɨ, wʉnʉ akwasha rihekaaru na kuryʉmbaka kuzisikʉ isatʉ,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,

30nangʉ, wiituuryɨ aumwene, wiikɨ kʉmʉsarabha!”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Na abhakʉrʉ bha abhakuhaani na abhiija bhi imigirʉ ja Musa bhʉʉsi hamwɨmwɨ, bhakamorega bharabhuga, “Akasabhʉra abhandɨ, nawe atakʉtʉra kwisabhʉra umwene!In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Angʉ, abhugirɨ kʉbha newe Kiriisitʉ, ʉmʉtɨmi wa Abhiiziraɨri. Nangʉ iikɨ kʉmʉsarabha, korereke tomorore nu ukumwisirirya.” Na abhaatʉ bhanʉ bhaabhambirwɨ hamwɨmwɨ nawe, bhʉʉsi bhakamʉtʉka.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.

33Kʉtangɨra zɨɨsa isaasabha umwise kuhika zɨɨsa kenda, ɨkabha ikiirimya kucharʉ chʉsi.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Neho zɨɨsa kenda, Yɨɨsu akarɨra kwiraka ikʉrʉ arabhuga, “Ɨrʉʉyi! Ɨrʉʉyi! Raama sabhakitaani?” Enzobhooro yaku ni‑“Mungu waanɨ, Mungu waanɨ, ndora untigirɨ?”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?”

35Abhaatʉ obhorebhe gatɨ wa bhanʉ bhiimiiriirɨ harya, hanʉ bhiigwirɨ ganʉ akʉgamba, bhakabhuga, “Mwigwɨ bhamura, arabhɨrɨkɨra Ɨɨriya ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri wa Mungu.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉmwɨ akaryara bhwangʉ kotobheka ripuupya mʉmarwa amarʉrʉ gi idivaayi, akabhohera kwikʉrɨ rirɨɨhu. Akarɨnʉnga igʉrʉ, akaha Yɨɨsu anywɨ. Ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo akabhuga, “Mutigɨ torore arɨɨbhɨ Ɨɨriya araaza kumwicha kʉmʉsarabha hayo!”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.”

37Yɨɨsu akarɨra kwiraka ikʉrʉ, akatinʼya.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Ripaziya ryu ukusikɨra Aharɨndu ha Aharɨndu mwihekaaru rɨkabhaarʉka, mbaara ibhɨrɨ kuhika iyaasɨ.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Ʉmʉkʉrʉ wa abhasirikarɨ wʉnʉ aarɨ imiiriirɨ embere wa Yɨɨsu, hanʉ aarʉʉzɨ chɨmbu Yɨɨsu akukwa, akabhuga, “Heene ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aarɨ Umwana wa Mungu!”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!”

40Bhaareho abhakari bhanʉ bhaarʉʉzɨ kwa kore. Gatɨ waabhʉ aareho Mariyamu wa Magidarena, Saroome na Mariyamu unina Yaakobho umusuuhu na Yoose.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.

41Abhakari bhayo bhaarɨ bhamutunirɨ na kohokerya Yɨɨsu hanʉ aarɨ mucharʉ cha Gariraaya. Bhaareho na abhakari abhandɨ bhaaru bhanʉ bhagiirɨ hamwɨmwɨ nawe Yɨrusarɨɨmu.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.

42Hanʉ ryahikirɨ rigoroobha, kʉ kʉbha urusikʉ ruyo rwarɨ rwu ukwitʉʉra bhwaheene, igʉrʉ wu urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43akaaza ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉmwɨ wʉnʉ akubhirikirwa Yuusufu, umwibhurwa wʉ ʉrʉbhɨri rwa Arimataaya. Aarɨ wu ubhusuuku bhʉkʉngʼu, wa muchandarʉ ɨkɨkʉrʉ cha Abhayaahudi, na aarɨ ariisega ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu bhʉnʉ bhukuuza. Akaja kwa Piraato kwa bhʉkaari kʉmʉsabha amwisiririryɨ ajɨ agege ɨkɨtʉndʉ cha Yɨɨsu.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.

44Hanʉ Piraato iigwirɨ kʉbha bhwangʉbhu Yɨɨsu akuurɨ, akarʉgʉʉra! Akamʉbhɨrɨkɨra ʉmʉkʉrʉ wa abhasirikarɨ wurya korereke amenyeekererye arɨɨbhɨ maheene Yɨɨsu akuurɨ.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Hanʉ aamɨnyɨɨkɨrɨɨryɨ kʉbha Yɨɨsu akuurɨ, Piraato akiisiririrya Yuusufu agege ɨkɨtʉndʉ.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Neho Yuusufu wʉʉsi akagʉra ɨsanda ya zimpirya nzaru. Akiicha ɨkɨtʉndʉ kurwa kʉmʉsarabha, akakiringɨra nɨ ɨsanda. Akabhɨɨka ɨkɨtʉndʉ kirya mumbihɨra yɨnʉ yaakɨrɨsirwɨ kwitarɨ, akahiringitya riibhwɨ ikʉrʉ na kuribha kukisikʉ chi imbihɨra.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.

47Na Mariyamu wa Magidarena na Mariyamu unina Yaakobho musuuhu na Yoose, bhakarora hanʉ aabhiikirwɨ.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
