Mark 15 (MKW) · Opened

1Na suka-suka, bamfumu ya banganga-Nzambi, bakuluntu ya ba-Zwife, milongisi ya Misiku, mpe bantu nyonso ya kimvuka ya bakuluntu ya ba-Zwife vukanaka. Bawu kangaka Yesu basinga. Bawu nataka yandi, mpe pesaka yandi na maboko ya Pilate.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.

2Pilate yufulaka yandi: «Nge kele ntinu ya ba-Zwife?» Yesu vutulaka: «Nge ke na kutuba yawu nge mosi.»So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Bamfumu ya banganga-Nzambi vwandaka funda yandi na mambu mingi.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Na yina, Pilate yufulaka dyaka yandi: «Nge ke na kuvutula dyambu ve? Nge ke na kuwa ve mambu nyonso yina bawu ke na kuzonza na nzutu ya nge!»Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Kasi Yesu vutulaka dyaka ve mvutu, mpe Pilate yitukaka mingi.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Na konso mukembo ya Paki, Pilate vwandaka na kifu ya kupesa kimpwanza na nkole yina bantu vwandaka zola ti yandi basisa.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Kasi ya vwandaka na muntu mosi na nkumbu Balabase yina vwandaka na boloko na bimpumbulu ya nkaka, samu ti bawu kufwaka muntu ntangu bawu salaka muvusu.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Nkonga ya bantu kwendaka na yinzo ya Pilate, mpe bandaka na kulomba yandi mambu yina yandi vwandaka na kifu ya kusalaka.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Pilate vutulaka: «Beno zola ti mu pesa kimpwanza na ntinu ya ba-Zwife?»“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Ya tsyelika, Pilate zabaka ti bamfumu ya banganga-Nzambi yekula Yesu na maboko ya yandi, samu ti bawu vwandaka tala yandi musoki.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Kasi bamfumu ya banganga-Nzambi tumisaka nkonga na kulomba ti Pilate basisa Balabase na boloko.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Pilate zabisaka dyaka bawu: «Na yina, yinki beno zola ti mu sala na muntu yina beno ke bokilaka ntinu ya ba-Zwife?»So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Bawu lookaka: «Koma yandi na kulunsi!»And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Pilate yufulaka bawu: «Wapi dyambu ya yimbi yandi me sala?» Kasi bawu lookaka dyaka na ngolo nyonso: «Koma yandi na kulunsi!»“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Pilate vwandaka sosa kuyangidika nkonga. Na yina, yandi pesaka Balabase kimpwanza. Yandi tumisaka ti ba bula Yesu bikoti, mpe yekulaka yandi na maboko ya bawu samu na kukoma yandi na kulunsi.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Binwani nataka Yesu na yinzo ya mfumu Pilate, na kati ya lupangu, mpe bawu bokilaka binwani nyonso ya nkaka.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Bawu lwatisaka Yesu kiyunga ya mbwaki, mpe yimpu ya kintinu yina ba yidikaka na bansende.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Na manima, bawu vwandaka pesa yandi mbote na kutuba: «Mbote ya nge, ntinu ya ba-Zwife!»And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Bawu vwandaka bula yandi kidyadya na yintu, mpe vwandaka lobola yandi mante. Bawu vwandaka fukamaka mpe kondama na ntwala ya yandi.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Ntangu bawu manisaka na kuseka yandi, bawu katulaka yandi kiyunga, mpe lwatisaka yandi binkuti ya yandi. Na manima, bawu nataka yandi samu na kukoma yandi na kulunsi.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.

21Bawu talaka muntu mosi na nkumbu Simoni yina katukaka na bilanga. Yandi vwandaka muntu ya mbanza Silene, mpe tata ya Alezande mpe Lufuse. Binwani tumisaka yandi na ngolo nyonso na kunata kulunsi ya 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.

22Bawu nataka Yesu na kisika yina ba ke bokilaka Ngolongota, yina zola kutuba: «Kisika ya Mukwa ya yintu».They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Bawu zolaka pesa yandi vinu ya kuvukisa na mile, kasi Yesu mangaka.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Na manima, bawu komaka Yesu na kulunsi, kabulaka bawu na bawu binkuti ya yandi na kubula dzeke, samu na kuzaba yinki konso muntu ke kuzwa.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Ya vwandaka ngunga ya yivwa ya suka ntangu bawu komaka Yesu na kulunsi.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Na dibaya yina vwandaka zabisa dyambu yina ba zengilaka yandi lufwa, ba sonikaka mutindu yayi: «Ntinu ya ba-Zwife».And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Bawu komaka mpe na bakulunsi bimpumbulu zole pene-pene ya Yesu: mosi na lubakala ya yandi, mpe ya nkaka na lumoso ya yandi [Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Ni mutindu yina salamaka kibuku ya mambu ya Nzambi yina ke tubaka: «Ba tulaka yandi na lutangu ya bimpumbulu.»]Not in the BSB

29Bantu yina vwandaka luta kuna, vwandaka finga yandi, mpe vwandaka ningisa yintu. Bawu vwandaka tuba: «Ee! Nge vwandaka zola kumwangisa Yinzo ya Nzambi, mpe kutunga dyaka yawu na bilumbu tatu!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,

30Na yina, vuukisa nzutu ya nge, mpe kulumuka na kulunsi!»come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Mutindu mosi mpe, bamfumu ya banganga-Nzambi mpe milongisi ya Misiku vwandaka seka Yesu na kutuba bawu na bawu: «Yandi vuukisaka bantu ya nkaka, kasi yandi lenda kuvuukisa ve nzutu ya yandi mosi!In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Kana yandi kele Masiya, ntinu ya Isayeli, yandi kulumuka ntangu yayi na kulunsi samu ti beto tala mpe beto kwikila yandi.» Bayina ba komaka mpe na kulunsi kintwadi na Yesu vwandaka finga yandi.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 ngunga ya midi, kitombe kumaka na yinsi nyonso tii na ngunga ya tatu na manima ya midi.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Na ngunga ya tatu na manima ya midi, Yesu lookaka na ndinga ya ngolo: «Eloyi, Eloyi, lema sabatani!» Ya zola kutuba: «Nzambi ya munu! Nzambi ya munu! Samu na yinki nge me bika munu?»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?”

35Bantu ya nkaka yina vwandaka kuna kuwaka yandi, mpe tubaka. «Beno kuwa! Yandi ke na kubokila Eli!»When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Mosi na kati ya bawu kwendaka baka mbangu kima mutindu mafudya. Yandi tulaka yawu malafu ya ngayi, mpe kangaka yawu na nsongi ya kidyadya. Yandi pesaka yawu na Yesu samu ti yandi kunwa, mpe tubaka: «Beno vingila! Beto tala ntete kana Eli ke kwiza kukatula yandi na kulunsi.»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.”

37Kasi Yesu lookaka ngolo, mpe kufwaka.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Lele yina ke kabulaka bisika ya longo ya Yinzo ya Nzambi pasukaka na kati-kati na bandambu zole kubanda na zulu tii na yisi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Ntangu mfumu ya binwani ya Loma yina vwandaka na ntwala ya Yesu talaka mutindu Yesu kufwaka, yandi tubaka: «Ya tsyelika, muntu yayi vwandaka Mwana ya Nzambi.»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!”

40Ndambu ya bakento vwandaka mpe kuna. Bawu vwandaka ya kutelama mwa ntama, mpe vwandaka tala. Na kati ya bawu vwandaka: Maliya ya mbanza Madala, Maliya mama ya Zaki ya ntwenya mpe Yoze, mpe kento ya nkaka na nkumbu 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.

41Bawu landaka Yesu mpe sadilaka yandi ntangu yandi vwandaka na Ngalili. Ya vwandaka kuna mpe na bakento mingi ya nkaka yina kwizaka na Yesu na Yelusalemi.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.

42Ya vwandaka kuma mpimpa, mpe ya vwandaka kilumbu ya kukubika saba.Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Yosefi, muntu ya mbanza Alimate kwizaka kuna. Yandi vwandaka muntu ya mfunu na kati ya kimvuka ya bakuluntu ya ba-Zwife. Yandi mpe vwandaka vingila nkwizulu ya Kimfumu ya Nzambi. Na kibakala nyonso, yandi kwendaka tala Pilate, mpe lombaka yandi nzutu ya 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.

44Kasi Pilate yitukaka na kuwa ti Yesu me kufwa. Na yina, yandi bokilaka mfumu ya binwani, mpe yufulaka yandi kana Yesu kufwaka ntama.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Na manima ya kuwa mvutu ya mfumu ya binwani, yandi pesaka Yosefi muswa ya kubaka nzutu ya Yesu.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Yosefi sumbaka lele ya lino, mpe katulaka nzutu ya Yesu na kulunsi. Yandi zingaka yawu na lele ya lino, mpe tulaka yawu na kati ya ndyamu yina ba timunaka na mongo ya matadi. Na manima, yandi vindumunaka ditadi ya nene samu na kukanga ndyamu.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 ya mbanza Madala, mpe Maliya mama ya Yoze vwandaka tala kisika ba vwandaka tula nzutu ya Yesu.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
