Mark 15 (IYX) · Opened

1Mu ngwaali ya na wee, banguu ba bangaanga a Nziaambi, bayiisi ba mikele na pfuundu a ikuutu kia Bayuudayo kioosi, bakukini. Bakuti Yiisu bibolo, bamubiti na bamuyeelili kwaa mutumi Pilato.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.

2Pilato wamufuuli: «We ni mutini a Bayuudayo?» Yiisu wamuvutili: «We leeli buu.»So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Banguu ba bangaanga ba Nziaambi bafuundi Yiisu kwalaa.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Pilato abwiha nde manduru: «We a li na ya uvutulu pe? We li mu uyuu bu baata ba boosi bali mu ufuundu we!»Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Ka Yiisu a abwivutulu ndaa so mosi pe. Ni mu buu, Pilato akimii kwalaa.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Mu pasi mukuungi a Paaka, Pilato akiha bunyanga kwaa kori mosi, wuu wu koongi yakiloombo.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Ka bunu, muutu mosi kuumbu a nde Barabase, ali mu perese na biwulu biadusi muutu, mu taanga yali nyingi-nyingi.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Koongi yayeni kwaa mutumi Pilato, na yamuloombi paa babayiluu weti bu yali ipfu kia nde.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Pilato wabavutili: «Beni diatoono ti me na dinyaala mutini a Bayuudayo?»“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Ka nde ali ayaaba bubwe ti, mundaa a musoyi, banguu ba bangaanga ba Nziaambi bamuyeelili Yiisu.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Ka banguu ba bangaanga ba Nziaambi, batsindi koongi paa ti Pilato wabanyaalila Barabase nha mbuu a Yiisu.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Pilato abwifuulu: «So me nyaali beni Barabase, ima ditoono ti me sa mu wuu wu beni dili mu uta mutini a Bayuudayo?»So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Bo bamuvutili bu bakiloo: «Wamukomo nha kuruwa!»And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Pilato wabafuuli: «Ka ki mamabi nde ayilii?» Ka bo babwihama mu uloo: «Wamukomo nha kuruwa!»“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Bu Pilato atooni uha kinyi kwaa koongi, nde wabanyaalili Barabase. Nde atumi ti batete Yiisu bikoti, na wamuyeelili paa bamukomo nha kuruwa.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Masodaare mabeyi Yiisu mutso nzo a mutumi, na bo bateeri koongi a masodaare yoosi mbili.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Bo bamulwaatisi iyuungu kiabeenge, na bamunayi nha yulu a mutswe, iburu kia matsieende.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Bo babaandii uha nde bwee. Bo bamusiiri saa bu bamuleeli: «Bwee, mutini a Bayuudayo!»And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Tumake, bamuteti ikoti nha yulu a mutswe, bamutswiili mate na batsukini nha kulu a nde mu uha nde bwee.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Bu bamani uyiluu usa nde saa, bamumaasi iyuungu kiabeenge na bamulwaatisi bikutu bia nde makulu. Bobamubiti ku mbari a ngaanda, paa bamukomo nha kuruwa.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.

21Muutu mosi wa bula ba Kirene, kuumbu a nde Simooni, taayi a Alekandere na Lufusi. Nde akimata ku matsiee na akilabuu nhaa. Masodaare mamubamii mu ubiti kuruwa a Yiisu.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 babiti Yiisu ku mbuu ya kuumbu Ngolongota, mambiindili ti: «mbuu ya iteenge kia mutswe.»They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Bo bali na nzala ya uha nde mala mabavuutu na miire, ka Yiisu abisi.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Tumake bo bamukomi nha muti wa kuruwa. Na bo bakabi nha kati a bo bikutu bia nde, mu uta nzeke paa bayaaba ikuku ki muutu muutu mu bo akaabiti.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Ali ka nguungu ya wa ya ngwaali, mu taanga di bakomi nde nha muti wa kuruwa.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Kwali na bala lalikee li bali basonuu toono yi bamuhi tsieembili. Ali basonuu mandaa ma, nha yulu a bala lii: «Mutini a Bayuudayo».And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Ali bakomo biwulu bioolo, itwaari na nde, muutu muutu nha kurwa a nde. Mosi nha koo kia nde kia babaala, wunu nha koo kia nde kia bakaasa. [Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

29Babakilabuu kuulu nha mbuu yii, bakituu nde, na bakinyingisi mitswe. Bo baleeli: «Ee-e! We a ni muutu pe waleeli ti we utuu utsara nzo a Nziaambi, na ubwatuungu yo mu biluumbu bitata?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,

30Ka vuu mu iwemakulu, sutuu nha kuruwa!»come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Bumosi, banguu ba bangaanga ba Nziaambi na bayiisi ba mikele bakisa Yiisu saa. Bo bakilelesene: «Nde maavuusu bakimi, ka nde ukoono uvuu mu indemakulu!In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Nyaala Kristo, mutini a Iseraeli, asutuu mu taanga di nha kuruwa! Paa bisi dimono, na dimene miaanzi mu nde.» Babakomi itwaari na Yiisu, bakituu ka nde.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.

33Mu nguungu ya nzanga, pimisi diabwi mu tsi yoosi, na diadiingi natee mu nguungu ya matata ku mbisi a nzanga.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Na mu nguungu yii, Yiisu aloyi mu ndaa ya mifuri: «Eloyi, Eloyi, lema sabakatani?» Mambiindili ni ma: «Nziaambi a me, Nziaambi a me, mu ima we siisi me?»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?”

35Babamosi mu babali nhaa bamuyuyi, na baloyi: «Diyuu, nde ka mu uta mubili Eliya mbili!»When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Mosi mu bo adumi tiini, aluusi itsuru kia tsaanda kiaduu mu viinyi la nhanyi, na akuti kio ku toso a lisoongo. Tumake nde ahaatisi lo kwaa Yiisu paa nde anywa, na aleeli: «Dikebe, bisi sa dimono mbii ti Eliya yiri mu usutulu nde nha kuruwa!»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.”

37Yiisu aloyi mu ndaa yinene na akwi.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Tsaanda yibabanduu mu nzo a Nziaambi, nha mbuu ya ngira, yakakii mu bibari bioolo, umata ku yulu natee ku tsini.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Mukuutu a kama masodaare mosi, ali atemene nha kulu a Yiisu. Nde amoni buni Yiisu asieeli muwuumu, na aleeli: «Ngwanya, muutu wu beeri Mwaana a Nziaambi!»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!”

40Kwali ka nhaa, na bakaasa bakitalila ku la. Nha kati a bo, kwali Mari musi Mangadala, Salome, Mari nguu a Yose, na Yaki wa mukee.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.

41Bakaasa baa baduki Yiisu. Ni bo bakisalila nde, mu taanga di nde ali ku Ngalili. Mwali ka nhaa na bakaasa bakimi babalayi, babahaati na nde ku Yeruselemi.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.

42Tsitsii bu yatoori, na bu yali iluumbu kia nzilimini, pili mosi tswaamina na ukoto mu saba,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Yoosefi, musi Arimate, alwaati ibaala kia nde, na ayimonuu kwaa mutumi Pilato. Nde ali inama imosi kia likiinzi mu pfuundu a bakuutu, na akikebe, nde ka, nziriri a Ipfumu kia Nziaambi. Nde ayeni mu uyaloombo nyutu a Yiisu kwaa Pilato.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.

44Pilato akimii bu ayuyi ti Yiisu maakwa. Nde ati mukuutu a kama masodaare mbili, paa afuulu nde mbii ti Yiisu akwa umata bele pe.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Bu amani na uyuu mayaabisi nde mukuutu a masodaare, nde ahi muswa kwaa Yoosefi mu uholo nyutu a Yiisu.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Yoosefi asuumbi tsaanda ya lino, nde asutili Yiisu nha yulu a kuruwa. Nde adii nde mu tsaanda yii, na wamusuusi mutso ngili yi basootolo mutso manya. Tumake nde anyiingili manya nha munywa a ngili.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.

47Mari musi Mangadala na Mari nguu a Yose, bakitala mbuu yi basuusi nyutu a Yiisu.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
