1Cwale amasikusiku, akulu no apulisita, na kulu na iyeti no mulawo na sikuta onje sebeli anahana emihupulo, mi sebeli anunga Jesu ni ku mu twala kwa 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.

2Cwale Pilato sebeli oibanguta Jesu nji, “Ninji yawene Ombumu no Majuda?” Jesu sebeli omutambula nji, “Kame wamba.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Cwale akulu no apulisita kame ana ku mununga einu no kupula.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Mi Pilato sebeli oibanguta Jesu kame nji, “Ku kwite ekalabo no kutambula? Komone, kame akununga eyambo no kupula!”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Kono Jesu kasi ku tambula, cwale Pilato sebeli okomoka.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Cwale ba nako no mukiti Pilato kame anakwa lukulwelanga omupantinti woyo ana kukumbelanga aanu nji alukululwe.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Mi kwawo ana kunungiwa mu tolongo naku kwikala omulume no litina lya Balabasi ona ku lemiwa mu mubonda no kwibaa omunu ba mufilifili no kufutukela omubuso no naha.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Cwale aanu no kupula sebeli aiya niku tangisa okukumbela Pilato nji atendele kanyi omo ana kwatendelanga mu maywaa onje.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Cwale Pilato sebeli waaibanguta nji, “Kame mu singa nji ni milukulwele Ombumu no Majuda?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Pilato kame ana ku limbulula apulisita no akulu nji aba ana kumu litele Jesu, neli feela omuna.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Kono apulisita akulu sebeli asusuweza aanu nji akumbele Pilato okwa lukulwela Balabasi.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Mi Pilato kame sebeli waibanguta nji, “Cwale ngasibine sani tende, ni woyo mwamba nji ni Mbumu no Majuda?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Cwale aanu sebeli akuweleza nji, “Angongotelwe!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Cwale Pilato sebeli waaibanguta nji, “Siikene ana foso?” Kono sebeli akuweleza onene nji, “Angongotelwe!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Cwale Pilato mu kusinga oku wabelisa aanu no kupula, sebeli waalukulwela Balabasi, Jesu sebeli oshapiwa, ni kumuba kwa onyene nji aka mungongotele.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Cwale amasole sebeli atwala Jesu mukaci no Kuta no mulenen̄i no mubusisi, mi sebeli oisana esitopa sonje no amasole.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Cwale Jesu sebeli amufuka omukanjo no mucaa, ni ku mutingela en̄ata no myunguya ni kumufuka ku mutwi.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Mi sebeli atangisa kumukeeta muku musheka aamba nji, “Yoosho Ombumu no Majuda!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Cwale Jesu sebeli amufula olutaka ku mutwi ni ku musibwela amate ni kumu kubamena ni ku musheka.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Mi cwale aba ana kumana oku mushubaula ngeeso, sebeli amufukula olwambi no mucaa ni ku mu fuka eikumango yaye, cwale sebeli amutwala oka mu ngongotela.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.

21Cwale sebeli akandimeka omulume omunjili woyo ana kukubitelanga okutunda ku matema mi woyo neli Simoni Omusailini, sitoo Alekizanda ni Lufusi oku shimba esifapano sa Jesu.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.

22Mi sebeli atwala Jesu ku sibaka sina kwisaniwa Gologota, okutalusa nji esibaka no Katendele.They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Cwale Jesu sebeli amu litela ebeine ina kuwanekiwa ni Mila nji anwe, kono kasi kuinwa.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Mi sebeli amu ngongotela, nuuku tabela eikumango yaye muku shebuluka nji alimuke omunu ni munu eso sa shimbe.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Cwale neli ku ma 9 okuloko amasiku aba na kumu ngongotela.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Mi omubonda ana kwatulelwa olufu kame una kun̄oliwa ba lin̄olo eli lili beulu lyamba nji, “Ombumu no Majuda.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Cwale Jesu sebeli ongongotelwa ni ikebenga yiili, simweya ku silyo esinjli kweli no simoo.Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Nakwiyatetetwe aman̄olo awo aamba nji, “Kame ana baliwa na sikucola omulawo”Not in the BSB

29Cwale aanu ana kubitanga mu ndila sebeli akuweleza niku musheka, aanyunga emitwi yoo ni kwamba nji, “Aha! Kayawene otwesa okusinya endoo ya Nyambe ni kwiyaka mu maywaa aatu!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,

30Okuyoyise mi otuluke ba sifapano!come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Cwale akulu no apulisita sebeli amusheka ngeeso bamweya na iyeti no mulawo, aamba nji, “Kame anaku yoyisanga akwaye, kono yonyene katwese oukuyoyisa!In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Mu lesele uyu Kilesite Ombumu no Isilaele, atuluke ba sifapano cwale, nji tumone mi tu pumene mwa yonyene! Naawo ayiili ana ku ngongotelwa naye sebeli amwaangola.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.

33Cwale omunji eliywaa aba lina kukela bakaci no mutwi kuma 12 okuloko, sebeli kwiiya ouwi ona kufuka enaha yonje oku twala aba lina kusiuluka ba nako no 15 okuluko.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Cwale ba nako no 15 okuluko Jesu sebeli okuwa ni liywi linene nji, “Eloi, eloi lemasabakatani? Okutalusa nji, “Nyambe wange, Nyambe wange, iikene aba oni leselela?”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?”

35Cwale awo ana kwimananga ba nyonga aba na kuyupa ngeseo sebeli amba nji, “Muyupe kame aisana Eliya!”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Mi omunjili sebeli oituka oka cupwa esiponji mu fenega ni ku litela Jesu nji anwe, ni kwamba nji, “Cwale musiyenyi tumone nji Eliya mba iiyi ku mu tulula ba sifapano!”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.”

37Cwale Jesu sebeli okuwa ni liywi linene, mi sebeli obwelwa Emebo.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Cwale olwambi na mu Ndoo ya Nyambe sebeli lukauka bakaci oku tangisa ku wilu okutwala kunji.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Mi cwale omutateleli no musole ona kwimana ba nyonga ya Jesu aba na kumona omo ana fele, sebeli wamba nji, “Niti luli omulume uyu neli Mwana Nyambe!”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!”

40Akati ana kwimana oku no kuleba okumona, abo omunjili neli Maliya Magadalena, Maliya inawaye Jakobo omwanuke ni Jose okubeeka Salome.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.

41Mu Galileya ana kwikalanga Jesu, akati kame ana kumu kon̄a ni kumu babalela. Nakati anjili ano kupula ana kumukon̄a oku tunda ku Jelusalema nonyene na kwikalako.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.

42Cwale aba ina kukwana enako no mangolwaa neli eliywaa nou kutukiseta eliywaa no pumulo,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Josefa no Alimateya omunjili no Kuta no Majuda, woyo neli omunjili wawo ana kutatelelanga okwiiya no mubuso wa Nyambe, mu undume sebeli ota kwa Pilato okamu kumbela olutu lwa Jesu.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 sebeli okomoka abana kuyupa nji Jesu wafa kale. Sebeli oisana omutateleli, ni ku mwibanguta nji Jesu wafa kale?Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Cwale aba na kuyupa kwa mutateleli nji mo kwikalele, sebeli oba olutu ku mukulu no masole.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Cwale Josefa sebeli oula olwambi, niku pungelamo Jesu niku mubeeka mu libita no liwee no kuchakuliwa. Sebeli opindumunenabo eliwee ba mwelo no libita,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.

47Maliya Magadalena ni Maliya inawaye Jose kame ana kumona omo ana kumu langeka Jesu.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
