Mark 15 (SBS) · Opened

1Kakusasani luli, bapurisita bakulwana choku kopana hamwiina ni bakulwana ni bañoli mi ni khuta yonse ya Majuda. Linu chi basumina Jesu ni ku mutwala. Chi ba mu tambika 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.

2Pilato na mu buza, “Njiwe u Simwine wa Majuda?” Cha mwitaba, “Uwe njo wamba bulyo.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Bapurisita bakulwana ba bali ku hambiza Jesu milandu mingi.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Hape Pilato cha mubuza, “Ko ni tabi? Bone milandu ku bungi yi ba leta ni ku ku hambiliza!”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Kono Jesu kana abali ku chi mwi taba Pilato, mi iyo ndaba ni ya mukomokisa.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Linu mu inako ya mukiti, Pilato a vali ku lukululanga kuvantu chifosi cho nke, chifosi chi vavali ku li kumbililanga.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Mwateni ni vasandukile muntolongo, mukati ka vehayi va vakwatilwe ka kuva ni chiyemba mu kusandukila, kuvena mukwame ya vali ku sumpwa Banabasi.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Vungi vwa vantu chi vweza kwa Pilato mi chi va tangisa ku mu kumbila ku va pangila sina mwa va pangililanga inako yonse.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Cha ve tava Pilato mi nati kuti, “Musaka kuti ime ni mi lukululele Simwine wa Majuda?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Kakuti a vezi kuti i vali che vaka lya muna vapurista vakulwana ha va va hi Jesu kwali.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Kono vapurista vakulwana chi va shongeleketa vungi vwa vantu kuhuwa ahulu kuti Vanavasi a lukululwe.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Pilato chave tava hape ni niku wamba, Chinzi cwale chini swanera kupanga ni Mulena wa Majuda”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Chiva huwereza hape, “Mu kokotele!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Pilato cha wamba kuvali, “Mulandu nzi wa tenda?” Kono chi ba huwa ahula ni ahulu, “Mu mu kokotele.”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Ka kuti Pilato abali ku saka ku zuwisa hande vantu, mi cho ku lukulula Banabasi. Cha shupa Jesu mi ni ku mubaha kuti ba mu kokotele.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Masole chi ba mutwala mukati ke ilapa (iri muleneñi wo muvuso), mi chi ba sumpila masole bonse hamwina.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Chi ba zwatika Jesu chizwato chisubile mi chi ba zingela ihusi ya miya mi chi bai mu zwatika ku mutwi.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Linu chi ba tangisa ku mu lumelisa ni bati, “Osho, Simwine wa Majuda!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Chi ba mukaba ha mutwi ka luhe ni ku muswila. Ba ba kuchola mazwi abo habusu bwa kwe ku mukuteka.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Mi linu ha chi ba mana ku mushubula, chi ba mu chupula chi zwato chi subila ni ku mu zwatika za kwe zi zwato, mi linu chi ba mu zwisa ku mutwala ku ka mu kokotela.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.

21Chi ba bika ya bali kulihila fela mu musebezi, ya bali ku ka zwa mu nkanda, mukwame ya bali ku sumpwa Simoni wa Sirene (isi wa Alexander ni Rufusi); chi ba mu hambiliza ku kulika cifapano cha 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.

22Masole chi ba twala Jesu ha cibaka chi sumpwa Gologota (i talusa kuti Cibaka cha katendere).They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Ni ba mu newira iwaine ikopenywe ni shantukwe, kono ka hena a ba inywi.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Ni ba mu kokotela mi ci bali kauhanyeza zi zwato za kwe ka ku sumikiza kwi ziba kuti uzu lisole ni lisole ka hinde nzi.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25I bali ke nako ya butatu ha ba mu kokotela.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Ha chishupo ku ba ñoletwa indaba za ku mu lwisa, “Simwine wa Majuda.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Ku ba kokotelwe naye basa bobele, umwina ku malyo mi zumwi ku ma monso akwe.Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Mi inolo ni le zuzilizwa lita kuti a be haiwa ni zifosi.Not in the BSB

29Avo vava kuhita vavali ku mutuka, ni va nyunga mwi twi yavo mi ni vati, “Ehe! U vali kuti no va lutununi itempele ni kui zaka hape mu ma zuva o tatwe,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,

30U lihaze u mwine mi uzwe u suke ha chifapano!”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Mu nzila iswana vapurisita vakulwana va vali ku mushuvula mukaati kavo navo, hamwina ni vañoli ni va cho, “A vali kuhaza vamwi, kono iye ka lihazi mwine.In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Musiye Kilesite, Simwine wa Isilaele a zwe a suke ha chifapano hwa hanu, kuti tu mu vone mi tu zumine.” Mi va va kokotelwe naye na vo va vali ku mu sheununa.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.

33Mi nako imane iyanza ha ikwana, keerima ni ka wumba inkaanda yonse mbwiita che inako yoku mana iyanza ni tone.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Mi inako ya kumana iyanza ni tone, Jesu cha huwa ka linzwi li zuweka ahulu “Eloi, Eloi, la masabakatani?” I talusa kuti, Ireeza Wangu, Ireeza wangu, Wani siila nzi?”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?”

35Vamwi kwa va vo va va ku zimena he mbali, chi va zuwa mi ni vati, “Muvwene, cha sumpa Elia.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Zumwi cha tiya, ku kahinda chiponchi ku chitila i waine i chanchumuka, cha chi bika ku mpela ya luhe, mi chi ku muha kuti a nywe. Uzo muntu cha wamba kuti, “Musiye! tubone kamba Elia ukezite kwiza ku mu hangula.”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.”

37Mi Jesu cha huwa ka linzwi li zuweka ahulu mi cho kufwa.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Isira lya mu itempele chi lya haluka tobele kutangiseza ku iwulu kutwala hansi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Mi muyendisi we chisole ya ba zimine na lolete Jesu, ha vona kuti wa fwa mweyi nzila, cha wamba, “Cha Vuniti uzu mukwame ivali mwana we Ireeza.”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!”

40Ku vena vamwi vanakazi va va bwenene kule. Mukati kabo ku vena Maria Magadalena, Maria (inyina wa Jakobo munini ni Josesi) ni 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.

41Mi havena mwa Galileya va va mwi chilile ni ku mu tendela. Vamwi va vanakazi bangi na vo va va kezite naye kwa Jerusalema.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.

42Mi nako ya chitengu ha yi sika, ka kuti li bali izuba lyo mughivero nji kuti, izuba lwe Sabata, ni li seni ku sika.Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Josefa ya va kuzwa kwa Arimatea ca keza mwa teni. A vali i membala ya vali ku kutekewa we chikwta cha Majuda, ya vali ku lindile mubuso wa Ireeza. Na kenjila kwa Pilato kakusa tiya ni ku ka kumbila mubili wa 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.

44Mi Pilato cha komokwa ahulu hazuwa kuti Jesu wa fwa kale; ava sumpi mukulwana wa masole ni ku mubuza heba Jesu cha va ku fwile.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Pilato ha zuwa kumuyendisi wa masole kuti Jesu chavali kufwire, cha lukulwila chitunta chakwe kwa Josefa.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Josefa a va li ku wulite masira e lineni. Cha muzwisa ha chifapano, ni ku mu bungila mumasira e lineni, mi chi ku mulalika mu ikumbu lya ba chakuile mu mavwe. Linu cha pindumwina ibwe mu mulyango we ikumbu.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.

47Maria Magadalena ni Maria inyina wa Josesi va va voni chivaka i cho Jesu mwa va zikwa.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
