Mark 15 (LUG) · Opened

1Amangwago mu makya olukiiko lwa bakabona abakulu, n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka lwe Lukiiko Olukulu lwonna, ne bakuŋŋaana ne basiba Yesu, ne bamuweereza ewa 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 n’abuuza Yesu nti, “Ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Oyogedde.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Awo bakabona abakulu ne bamulumiriza ebintu bingi.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Naye Piraato n’addamu n’amubuuza nti, “Lwaki toliiko ky’oddamu? Laba bakulumiriza ebintu bingi.”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Naye Yesu n’asirika busirisi, era Piraato n’amwewuunya nnyo.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Ku buli mbaga, Piraato yabateeranga omusibe omu gwe baabanga bamusabye.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Omu ku basibe mu kiseera ekyo yali ayitibwa Balaba, eyali asibiddwa ne bajeemu banne olw’okutta abantu nga bakola obwegugungo.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Awo Piraato n’agenda eri ekibiina n’ababuuza nga bwe yateranga okukola.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9N’ababuuza nti, “Mwandyagadde mbasumululire kabaka w’Abayudaaya?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Kubanga yamanya nga bakabona abakulu bamuwaddeyo lwa buggya.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Naye bakabona abakulu ne bafukuutirira ekibiina babateere Balaba sso ssi Yesu.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Naye Piraato n’addamu n’ababuuza nti, “Omuntu ono gwe muyita kabaka w’Abayudaaya mwandyagadde mmukole ntya?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Ne bawowoggana nti, “Mukomerere!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Piraato n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki? Azziza musango ki?” Naye bo ne beeyongera bweyongezi okuleekaana nti, “Mukomerere.”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Awo Piraato okusanyusa ekibiina, n’abasumululira Balaba. N’awaayo Yesu akomererwe ng’amaze okumukuba.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Awo Abaserikale ne batwala Yesu mu luggya lw’olubiri, oluyitibwa Pulayitoliyo, ne bayita bannaabwe bonna abakuuma olubiri, ne bakuŋŋaana.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Ne bamwambaza ekyambalo ekya ffulungu, ne bakola engule mu maggwa ne bagissa ku mutwe gwe.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Ne balyoka bamulamusa nga bwe bagamba nti, “Mirembe! Kabaka w’Abayudaaya!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Ne bamukuba omuggo ku mutwe, ne bamuwandulira amalusu, ne bamufukaamirira nga bwe bamuvuunamira.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Bwe baamala okumuduulira, ne bamwambulamu ekyambalo ekya ffulungu ne bamwambaza engoye ze, ne bamutwala okumukomerera.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.

21Bwe baali bagenda ne basanga omusajja erinnya lye Simooni ow’e Kuleene, kitaawe wa Alegezanda ne Luufo eyali ava mu kyalo, ne bamuwaliriza yeetikke omusaalaba gwa Yesu.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.

22Awo ne batwala Yesu ne bamutuusa mu kifo ekiyitibwa Gologoosa, amakulu gaakyo nti Ekifo ky’Ekiwanga.They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Ne baddira wayini atabuddwamu envumbo ne bamuwa anyweko, naye n’amugaana.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Awo ne bamukomerera ku musaalaba. Ne bagabana ebyambalo bye nga babikubira akalulu.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Baamukomerera ku ssaawa ssatu ez’enkya.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Ne batimba ekipande waggulu w’omutwe gwa Yesu, okwawandiikibwa nti, “Kabaka w’Abayudaaya.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Waaliwo abanyazi babiri abaakomererwa awamu naye, omu ku ludda lwa Yesu olwa ddyo, n’omulala ku kkono.Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Bwe kityo Ekyawandiikibwa ne kituukirira ekigamba nti, “Yabalirwa wamu n’abamenyi b’amateeka.”Not in the BSB

29Awo abaali bayitawo, ne bakoteka ku mitwe gyabwe nga bamuduulira, nga bwe bagamba nti, “Mumulaba! Wagamba okumenya Yeekaalu n’okugizimbira ennaku ssatu,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,

30weerokole, okke wansi okuva ku musaalaba.”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Bakabona abakulu n’abawandiisi nabo baali bayimiridde awo nga baduulira Yesu, nga bagamba nti, “Yalokola balala, naye ye tasobola kwerokola!In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Ggwe! Kristo, Kabaka wa Isirayiri! Kale kka ove ku musaalaba naffe tunaakukkiriza!” N’abanyazi ababiri abaakomererwa naye, nabo ne bamuvuma.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.

33Okuva ku ssaawa mukaaga ez’omu ttuntu okutuukira ddala ku ssaawa mwenda ez’olweggulo, ekizikiza ne kikwata ensi yonna.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Awo Yesu n’akoowoola n’eddoboozi eddene nti, “Eroi, Eroi, lama, sabakusaani?” Amakulu nti, “Katonda wange, Katonda wange, Lwaki onjabulidde?”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?”

35Abamu ku bantu abaali bayimiridde awo bwe baamuwulira ne bagamba nti, “Ayita Eriya.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Awo ne wabaawo eyadduka n’addira ekyangwe n’akijjuza wayini omukaatuufu, n’akisonseka ku luti, n’akiwanika eri Yesu anyweko, nga bw’agamba nti, “Mumuleke, ka tulabe obanga Eriya anajja n’amuwannulayo!”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.”

37Awo Yesu n’akoowoola n’eddoboozi ddene, n’awaayo obulamu bwe.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Eggigi ery’omu Yeekaalu ne liyulikamu wabiri okuviira ddala waggulu okutuuka wansi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Omuserikale Omuruumi eyakuliranga ekibinja ky’abaserikale ekikumi eyali ayimiridde okwolekera omusaalaba gwa Yesu, bwe yalaba enfa gye yafaamu, n’agamba nti, “Ddala ddala, omusajja ono abadde Mwana wa Katonda!”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!”

40Waaliwo abakazi abaali bayimiridde awo nga beesuddeko akabanga nga balengera, okwali Maliyamu Magudaleene, ne Saalome ne Maliyamu nnyina Yakobo omuto ne Yose.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.

41Abo baayitanga naye mu Ggaliraaya era nga bamuweereza, n’abalala bangi abajja naye e Yerusaalemi.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.

42Awo bwe bwawungeera, kubanga lunaku lwa kuteekateeka, olunaku olukulembera Ssabbiiti,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Yusufu ow’e Alimasaya, nga mukungu mu Lukiiko Olukulu olw’Abayudaaya, naye eyali alindirira obwakabaka bwa Katonda, n’aba muvumu n’agenda eri Piraato okusabayo omulambo gwa Yesu.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.

44Piraato ne yeewuunya nnyo okuba nti Yesu yafudde dda. N’atumya omuserikale Omuruumi eyali akulembera banne ekikumi, n’amubuuza obanga Yesu yafudde dda.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Bwe yakikakasa okuva eri omuserikale, Piraato n’awa Yusufu omulambo.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Awo Yusufu n’agula olugoye olwa linena, n’amuggya ku musaalaba, n’amuzinga mu lugoye olwa linena, n’amuteeka mu ntaana eyali etemeddwa mu lwazi, n’ayiringisa ejjinja n’aggalawo omulyango gw’entaana.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.

47Maliyamu Magudaleene ne Maliyamu nnyina Yose baaliwo era baalaba Yesu we yateekebwa.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
