Mark 15 (MGJ) · Opened

1O̠tu̠o̠no̠m i̠se̠, d̠a̠ obom ame̠ghe̠le̠, sa̠ ogbo aru̠mu̠ okur bho̠ na̠ ikei bho̠, na̠ ogbo atu̠ghu̠me̠ni̠ oloko, na̠ eb̠la̠ ogbo i̠gada ase̠ bho̠ imimia̠n iya̠ ogir ogboloma̠ A̠zizo̠s. Sa̠ i̠bhad̠i̠ i̠na, irileghom i̠gi̠ d̠a̠ Apai̠let.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.

2Sa̠ Apai̠let a̠pura̠n i̠na ma̠a̠: “Anwa o̠li̠le̠ma A̠nwunom A̠zu bho̠ ke̠re̠?” Sa̠ i̠na awo̠ran ma̠a̠, “Anwa na̠ agba.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Sa̠ ogbo aru̠mu̠ okur bho̠ i̠gba ma̠ a̠d̠izo o̠kpo̠ ib̠ologiom i̠na.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Sa̠ Apai̠let a̠mula̠ a̠pura̠n i̠na ma̠a̠, “Abar ola̠ anwa inwuna̠ ma̠ o̠wo̠ran bo̠ ke̠re̠? Mu̠gho̠ne̠ ma̠ a̠d̠izo riku ya̠ uler anwa bho̠!”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Ya̠a̠, A̠zizo̠s na̠ omula̠ d̠o̠ awo̠ran abar, ma̠ ola̠ a̠d̠igh Apai̠let ilologia̠n.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Kigiel kigiel ola̠ E̠yal Opel Oten a̠sor, bha̠ na̠ omutiom gha̠n d̠a̠ ikoli ma̠ onin o̠ni̠ ola̠ a̠nwunom bho̠ ipuru.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7D̠a̠ igiel obha̠, o̠ni̠ ola̠ ubhelegi ma̠ Abarabas, ola̠ a̠d̠igh na̠ ipa̠n ogbo a̠wia̠n a̠dila̠de i̠to̠ ebhugh bho̠, sa̠ igigh o̠ni̠ ma̠ agu̠o̠ e̠ma bho̠ na̠ a̠bhighibhighi bho̠, aro̠ d̠a̠ ikoli.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Sa̠ o̠lo̠gh a̠nwunom bho̠ i̠ke̠ ma̠ opuru agu̠o̠ ola̠ ta̠ ogir agu̠o̠ na̠ ogir gha̠n bho̠.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Sa̠ Apai̠let awo̠ran awa ma̠a̠, “Inyin na̠ o̠bho̠ro̠gh ma̠ ami̠ imutiom o̠li̠le̠ma A̠zu bho̠ inigha̠ inyin ke̠re̠?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Ezin bho̠ i̠na abi̠gh ma̠ ogbo aru̠mu̠ okur bho̠ ibhin d̠a̠ egbugbo ologi eb̠ol i̠na.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Ya̠a̠, ogbo aru̠mu̠ rokur bho̠ itumugiom o̠lo̠gh a̠nwunom bho̠ ma̠ opuru agu̠o̠ ola̠ ta̠ omutiom Abarabas onigha̠ awa.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Sa̠, Apai̠let a̠puta̠ a̠pura̠n awa ma̠a̠, “O̠ku̠a ka̠ inyin na̠ o̠bho̠ro̠gh ma̠ ami̠ igir ere igboloma̠ ma̠ o̠ni̠ wa̠ inyin na̠ obhelegi ma̠ o̠li̠le̠ma A̠zu bho̠?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Sa̠ awa ipita̠ i̠ko̠ro̠ ma̠a̠, “I̠du̠e̠ i̠na ma̠ a̠gigh!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Ya̠a̠, Apai̠let a̠pura̠n awa ma̠a̠, “Ezin ka̠ ere? I̠na a̠gir ere api̠e̠?” Sa̠ awa imula̠ i̠lo̠gh e̠mi̠ imulughu ma̠a̠, “Du̠e̠ i̠na ma̠ a̠gigh!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Od̠ighi agu̠o̠ ola̠ ologi a̠nwunom bho̠ ta̠ ab̠al, sa̠ Apai̠let a̠mutiom Abarabas a̠nigha̠ awa. Sa̠ a̠ruom ma̠ o̠gu̠ro̠gh A̠zizo̠s, sa̠ a̠b̠eton a̠nigha̠ awa ma̠ o̠du̠ ogigh.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Sa̠ ogbo e̠gham bho̠ ibhin A̠zizo̠s i̠gi̠ d̠a̠ otu a̠dila̠de i̠to̠ ta̠ we̠mu̠ ebhugh bho̠, sa̠ ikokod̠i ma̠ eb̠la̠ odi ebu ogbo e̠gham bho̠.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Sa̠ iburi i̠na ma̠ ososora̠n akapa ozu a̠dolo, sa̠ ilo ma̠ eghoi ib̠ub̠ulom izuom i̠na.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Sa̠ awa i̠ke̠ ma̠ obhelegima̠ o̠yo̠ ma̠a̠, “E O̠li̠le̠ma A̠zu! I̠yar na̠ obheleguma̠ nyam o!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Sa̠ ibhin okpeti ib̠orogh e̠mu̠ d̠o̠yo̠, sa̠ i̠si̠ro̠gho̠m i̠na ma̠ i̠gho̠r, sa̠ ikpud̠ia̠n i̠na izuruna̠ ma̠ eghoi.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Sa̠ igiel bho̠ awa na̠ e̠ki̠ri̠ i̠na e̠we̠le̠ bho̠, sa̠ i̠ko̠gi̠o̠n ibura̠ ozu a̠dolo bho̠, sa̠ inwe i̠lo̠gi̠ i̠na ma̠ ibura̠ d̠o̠yo̠, sa̠ irileghom i̠na i̠d̠u̠a ma̠ ka̠ o̠du̠ o̠yo̠ ogigh.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.

21Sa̠ awa i̠mi̠nana ma̠ odi o̠ni̠ ola̠ A̠sirin ola̠ ubhelegi ma̠ Asai̠mo̠n, o̠we̠de̠ ta̠ Ale̠gzanda na̠ A̠rufo̠si̠, d̠a̠ na̠ ad̠u̠a d̠a̠ e̠sala na̠ a̠ru, sa̠ iponoma̠ i̠na ma̠ orol e̠mi̠gi̠re̠ni̠an oriren ta̠ A̠zizo̠s.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.

22Sa̠ inuoghom A̠zizo̠s i̠gi̠ d̠a̠ Ago̠lgo̠ta (a̠ma̠ra̠ ma̠a̠, “Esi okpokpo e̠mu̠.”)They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Sa̠ i̠gu̠a ma̠ amaya d̠a̠ a̠min inigha̠ i̠na ma̠ o̠d̠a, ma̠ agu̠o̠ ola̠ i̠na ko ologhoma̠n d̠o̠ ma̠ ali̠gam, ya̠ i̠na na̠ o̠d̠a d̠o̠.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Sa̠ ogbo e̠gham bho̠ i̠du̠ i̠na d̠a̠ e̠mi̠gi̠re̠ni̠an oriren bho̠. Sa̠ awa irobh okob̠a̠ ibhin i̠ru̠gi̠an ibura̠ d̠o̠yo̠.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25I̠du̠ i̠na d̠a̠ esugho o̠wal-obhel ma̠ asi̠ro̠.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Sa̠ i̠ge̠ ma̠ iku ase̠ d̠o̠yo̠ i̠du̠o̠m d̠a̠ anyu̠ e̠mi̠gi̠re̠ni̠an oriren bho̠ ma̠a̠: “O̠LI̠LE̠MA A̠NWUNOM A̠ZU BHO̠.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Sa̠ i̠du̠ nyen i̠wal i̠bho̠ru̠bho̠ru̠ aru̠gba, odi d̠a̠ agba od̠iom d̠o̠yo̠, ya̠a̠ uwed̠i d̠a̠ okiel. [Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28I̠nye̠n imuzoghod̠iom agu̠o̠ u̠ge̠ d̠a̠ A̠d̠ire E̠tu̠tu̠ bho̠ ma̠a̠; “U̠wal ani̠ i̠na o̠lo̠gh d̠a̠ ogbo id̠ighi ma̠ i̠karabh.”]Not in the BSB

29Sa̠ ogbo ya̠ na̠ eten bho̠ i̠ki̠ri̠ i̠na izizigha̠ ma̠ aru̠mu̠ d̠awa inigha̠ i̠na ma̠ e̠ka ifugh ma̠a̠, “A̠soroma̠ nyam!

You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

30Tenemeni ma̠ ozu d̠oyom, ma̠ a̠sor d̠a̠ e̠mi̠gi̠re̠ni̠an oriren bho̠ ma̠ a̠ru!”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

32Akrai̠st O̠li̠le̠ma Izre̠l bho̠! I̠se̠n, sore d̠a̠ e̠mi̠gi̠re̠ni̠an oriren bho̠ ma̠ a̠ru, sa̠ i̠yar ta̠ od̠umom anwa!” Sa̠ ogbo ya̠ u̠du̠ na̠ i̠na bho̠ i̠ki̠ri̠ ani̠ i̠na.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.

33O̠te̠i̠ d̠a̠ d̠iobh na̠ i̠wal o̠wal-obhel d̠a̠ azai̠ny, sa̠ azi̠m a̠kpegiom eb̠la̠ ebhugh bho̠ tu̠tu̠n ka̠ ate̠i̠ d̠a̠ i̠sar o̠wal-obhel ma̠ etita̠n.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

35Sa̠ idi awa ya̠ i̠mara ma̠ i̠se̠ bho̠ ifugh ma̠a̠, “Na̠ a̠bhelegi ma̠ I̠lai̠za.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Sa̠ odi o̠ni̠ awa a̠ghil ka̠ ato̠ri̠ ma̠ asapu̠ d̠a̠ igheghed̠um a̠min, sa̠ akpu̠o̠m d̠a̠ o̠lo̠ a̠b̠eton a̠nigha̠ i̠na ma̠ o̠d̠a, sa̠ a̠fugh ma̠a̠, “I̠we̠le̠, ta̠ o̠bi̠gh ka̠ I̠lai̠za ta̠ a̠ru ra̠ a̠soroni i̠na.”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.”

37Sa̠ A̠zizo̠s a̠bhin obom okoroko a̠mulughu, sa̠ ekpo epobh bho̠ a̠sobha̠n.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Sa̠ ukpe wa̠ d̠a̠ Otu ta̠ A̠zib̠a̠ bho̠, ake̠ d̠a̠ eb̠o bho̠ agu̠an a̠sor i̠wal a̠bin.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

40Idi anwani̠ e̠ro̠ nyen ma̠ ya̠ i̠mara ma̠ egbeny ekpon. Anwani̠ i̠ye̠ A̠meri wa̠ Amagdala bho̠, na̠ A̠meri onweni ta̠ A̠zemsi o̠gbara bho̠ na̠ A̠zosisi o̠gbara bho̠, na̠ Asalomi.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.

44Sa̠ a̠d̠igh ilologia̠n Apai̠let ma̠ o̠mu̠gho̠n ma̠ A̠zizo̠s na̠ a̠mugh ka̠ a̠mugha̠. Sa̠ i̠na a̠bhelegi ma̠ we̠mu̠ o̠lo̠gh e̠gham bho̠ a̠pura̠n ku̠gba ma̠ A̠zizo̠s na̠ a̠mugh ga̠i.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

47Sa̠ A̠meri wa̠ Amagdala bho̠ na̠ A̠meri onweni ta̠ A̠zosisi i̠bi̠gh esi wa̠ ud̠i i̠na bho̠.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
