Mark 15 (LAG) · Opened

1Maa reerʉ, kʉkamwaa. Vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva, vawosi, na vakiindya va Miiro na Balása Nkʉʉlʉ yoosi ya Vayahúudi, vakiirʉmɨra ˆvyeene varɨ mʉbweeyya Yéesu. Vakamuchuunga pɨɨ́ngʉ, maa vakamʉtwaala na mbere ya gávana Piláato.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.

2Piláato ˆakateere masáare yaavo, maa akamuurya Yéesu, “Weewe ʉrɨ mʉtemi wa Vayahúudi wʉʉ?” Ne akuuyirya, yoosea, “Weewe ulúusire.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva vakamusitaakya Yéesu masáare ˆyarɨ foo.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Aho, Piláato akamuurya kei, “Sa che sɨ wookuuyirya? Laanga nɨ masáare yangaɨ vookusitaakya!”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Maa kaa, Yéesu akakirinya sawu, baa kuuyirya tʉkʉ. Sa jeyyo, Piláato akatʉlʉvala.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Na mpɨɨndɨ ja ngovi ya Paásika, Piláato ajáa iijʉvɨra kʉmʉchʉngʉrɨra mufúungwa ʉmwɨ, ˆmweene vaantʉ varɨ loomba arekerwe.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Kwajáa kwatɨɨte mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ ˆasewáa Baráaba, ˆajáa achuungwa mʉnyololwii na vavarinduki va wiimiriri wa Kɨrúumi vɨɨngɨ. Na mpɨɨndɨ ja ʉvarinduki, yeeye na vavarinduki vajáa vʉʉlaa vaantʉ.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Aho, vaantʉ ˆvarɨ foo vakadoma kʉrɨ Piláato, vakamʉloomba amʉchʉngʉrɨre mufúungwa ʉmwɨ ja ˆvyeene iijʉvɨra mpɨɨndɨ ja Paásika.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Piláato akavuurya, “Saaka mwiise nɨmʉchʉngʉrɨre mʉtemi wa Vayahúudi wʉʉ?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Avuurya jei, sa ajáa ataanga vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva vajáa vamʉreeta Yéesu na kwaachwe, sa vamooneráa kɨvɨna.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Kɨrɨ vyoova jeyyo, vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva vakavasoonka vaantʉ, vamʉloombe Piláato amʉchʉngʉrɨre Baráaba.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Piláato akavuurya kei, “Ha de che moosaaka nɨmʉbweeyye ʉhʉ mʉʉntʉ nyuunyu ˆmʉmʉséaa, ‘mʉtemi wa Vayahúudi’?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Vaantʉ vakatʉla isóso, voosea, “Aningʼiniwe mʉsaláabii fʉʉrʉ akwye!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Piláato akavuurya, “Sa che? Ʉvɨ che abwéeyyiirye?” Maa voovo vakatʉlatʉʉla isóso, voosea, “Aningʼiniwe mʉsaláabii fʉʉrʉ akwye!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Sa viintʉ Piláato asaakáa veerya mɨtɨma Vayahúudi, akavafumirya Baráaba mʉnyololwii. Akavakwaatya valwi nkoondo vamʉvae Yéesu mɨjeléedi na vamuningʼinʼye mʉsaláabii fʉʉrʉ akwye.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Hara, valwi nkoondo vakamʉtwaala Yéesu na balásii ya ijuumbii ra kɨtemi ra gávana Piláato ˆrɨséwaa “Pʉratoría.” Vakasaankanʼya mpuka yoosi ya valwi nkoondo.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Vakamʉvɨkɨra Yéesu ɨngo ya kɨtemi ˆɨrɨ gyaa. Vakafota kɨsasaavo cha miíwa, vakamʉvɨkɨra mutwii.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Maa vakaanda muluumbya na heenchʉ, “Lamʉkyaade ee aaɨ, mʉtemi wa Vayahúudi.”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Vakatuuba mʉvaa na isaanga mutwii no mʉchwɨɨra matɨ. Vakamʉhena voochwaama ja vaantʉ ˆvoomʉnyemya mʉtemi.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20ˆVakahʉmʉle mʉhena, vakamufumya ɨra ɨngo ˆɨrɨ gyaa, maa vakamʉvɨkɨra ɨngo jaachwe. Aho, vakamufumya na weerwii sa vakamuningʼinʼye mʉsaláabii fʉʉrʉ akwye.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.

21Mpɨɨndɨ ijo, valwi nkoondo vakalʉmana na mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ njirii ˆasewáa Simóoni fuma Kɨréene, taáta waala Alekɨsáanda na Rufáasi. Ɨɨngɨráa na Yerusaléemu, maa vakamʉdoomererya avaale mʉsaláaba wa Yéesu.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.

22Vakamʉtwaala Yéesu fʉʉrʉ haantʉ ˆkʉséwaa Goligóota, noo kʉsea, “Kɨsááya cha Mʉtwe.”They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Vakamʉheera diváai ˆyasaangiwa na mooda ˆʉséwaa manemáane, anywe, maa kaa, yeeye akasiita.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Vakamuningʼinʼya mʉsaláabii. Maa vakiigavɨra ɨngo jaachwe ko jivaɨra mbare sa vataange ani aheewe ɨrɨkwɨ.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Mpɨɨndɨ ˆvamuningʼinʼyáa mʉsaláabii, ɨjáa nɨ namʉtóondo mpɨɨndɨ jo yʉʉrɨra ngʼoombe.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Mweeri ya mʉtwe waachwe vakavaɨrɨra ibambari ˆraandɨkwa kɨloongi chaachwe, “Mʉtemi wa Vayahúudi.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Viívi vavɨrɨ vakaningʼiniwa mʉsaláabii ne, kɨra mʉʉntʉ mʉsaláabii waachwe, ʉmwɨ ivaru ra kʉlʉme na wɨɨngɨ ivaru ra kʉmooso. [Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho yakakiimana ja ˆvyeene yalʉʉsa, “Avalwa hamwɨ na ˆvawúnaa miiro.”]Not in the BSB

29Vakeri njɨra vara ˆvalookáa na aho, vakamʉtʉkɨra no singisya mɨtwe na heenchʉ voosea, “Aaɨ, sɨ ʉjáa ʉsea atɨ ʉtɨɨte ngururu jo girimʉla Kaaya Njija ya Ijʉva, maa kei wiimye kwa sikʉ itatʉ?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,

30Hoonɨ haaha kiima aho mʉsaláabii, wiilamurirye!”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Viivyo vakʉ́ʉ́lʉ va veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva na vakiindya va Miiro vakamʉhenchʉla, voosea, “Avalamuriryáa vɨɨngɨ, amwɨ yoosiindwa kiilamurirya yeemweene?In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Atɨ, yeeye nɨ Masía, mʉtemi wa Isiraéeli, nɨ akiime sa tʉlaange, de turume.” Baa vara ˆvajáa vaturikiriwa mɨsaláabii ne, vakamʉtʉkɨra.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.

33Na kwaandɨra mpɨɨndɨ ja mpoloonge fʉʉrʉ mpɨɨndɨ ja cháámuusi, kilwiirya kɨkakʉnɨkɨrɨra ɨsɨ yoosi.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34ˆƗkafike mpɨɨndɨ ja cháámuusi, Yéesu akaanɨrɨra na ngururu, yoolʉʉsɨka na ndʉʉsɨka ya kɨmeevo ya Kɨaráamu, “Elóoi, Elóoi, láama sabakɨtáani?” noo kʉsea, “Ee Mʉlʉʉngʉ, ee Mʉlʉʉngʉ, amwɨ waandékire?”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?”

35Vamwɨ va vaantʉ vara ˆvajáa hara ˆvakateere ayo masáare, maa vakasea, “Teeri, yoomʉkemera Elía.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ akakʉʉrɨka, akafarɨmbɨrɨra kɨɨntʉ ˆkɨrɨ monyomonyo isaangii, akɨɨta tukya diváaii ˆyasasʉka, maa akamʉheera Yéesu afiiye, kʉnʉ yoosea, “Mʉreki, hoonɨ tʉlaange koonɨ Elía arɨ kʉʉja jɨ amukiimye aho mʉsaláabii.”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.”

37Hara, maa Yéesu akaana na ngururu, akawulala.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Hahara ipasía ra Kaaya Njija rɨkaatʉka katɨ na katɨ fuma mweeri fʉʉrʉ ɨsɨ.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Mʉkʉ́ʉ́lʉ wa valwi nkoondo ˆajáa iímire mbere ya mʉsaláaba, ˆakoone ˆvyeene Yéesu awʉ́lɨɨre, maa akasea, “Kɨmaarɨ, ʉhʉ mʉʉntʉ nɨ Mwaana wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ aarɨ.”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!”

40Hara kʉlɨ kʉlɨ, kwajáa kwatɨɨte vaantʉ vaki ˆvalaangáa ayo masáare. Aho jei, vajáa vamwaarɨ vala Maríia Makɨdaléena, Salóome na Maríia íyo waala Yóose mwaanaavo na Yaakúupu muduudi.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.

41Avo noo ˆvamutuubáa Yéesu mpɨɨndɨ ˆajáa Galiláaya noo mʉtʉmamɨra. Baa kei, vajáa vamwaarɨ vaantʉ vaki vɨɨngɨ ˆvarɨ foo, ˆvajáa vʉʉja ne na Yerusaléemu.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.

42Sikʉ Yéesu ˆawulala nɨ sikʉ yo virisha Sabáato ɨjáa, sikʉ ɨmwɨ de ɨve Sabáato na kyʉʉlwa.Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Kwajáa kwatɨɨte mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ ˆasewáa Yooséefu fuma múuji wa Arimatáaya. Yooséefu nɨ ʉmwɨ wa Balása Nkʉʉlʉ ya Vayahúudi ajáa. Anyemiwáa maatʉkʉ vii, baa kei, awoojáa kʉʉja kwa Ʉtemi wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ. Akiitema, akadoma kwa Piláato, akɨtooloomba aheewe mʉvɨrɨ wa Yéesu sa akʉʉtaahe.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.

44Piláato ˆakapate mʉlomo Yéesu akwíire chaangʉ vii, maa akatʉlʉvala. Akamwaanɨrɨra mʉkʉ́ʉ́lʉ wa valwi nkoondo, maa akamuurya koonɨ nɨ kɨmáárɨ Yéesu akwíire.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Piláato ˆakawyɨɨrwe nɨ ʉra mʉkʉ́ʉ́lʉ wa valwi nkoondo nɨ kɨmáárɨ Yéesu akwíire, maa akamʉheera rʉ́ʉsa Yooséefu asʉmʉle mʉvɨrɨ wa Yéesu.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Yooséefu akɨɨtowʉla sáanda ya kɨtáani. Akuukiimya mʉvɨrɨ wa Yéesu, akʉʉfarɨmbɨrɨra na ɨra sáanda, maa akɨɨta kʉʉtaaha mbiríírii ya mpaanga ˆngʼeene ɨjáa yabokwa lʉkaandii lwa iwye. Akafingiritya iwye ikʉʉlʉ yoorifintamya mʉryaangwii wa mbɨrɨ́ɨ́ra.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.

47Vala Maríia Makɨdaléena na Maríia íyo waala Yóose, vakahoona hara haantʉ Yéesu ˆatáahirwe.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
