Mark 15 (SBY) · Opened

1Mpobwalaca mumene beshimilumbo bamakulene, ne bamakulene ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ne Nkuta inene yaba Yuda bonse balabungana mwabwangu bwangu, balamusunga Yesu ne kuya nendi kuli 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 walepusha “Sena njobe Mwami waba Bayuda?” Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ee, encomulamba”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Nomba beshimilumbo bamakulene balamubepesha bintu bingi.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Kayi Pilato walepusha Yesu, “Sena paliya ncowela kukumbulapo? Bona kufula milandu njobalakubeshenga”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Nomba Yesu uliya kumukumbulapo, neco Pilato walakankamana.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Cindi conse pa kusekelela Pasika, Pilato walikukute cinga ca kupulisha mujele kaili umo uyo bantu ngobalamusenge.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Pacindici kwalikuba muntu walikukwiweti Balaba walasungwa mujele pamo ne nabambi balashina muntu pakulwanisha mfulumende.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Neco likoto lya bantu lyalesa kuli Pilato ne kumusenga kwambeti ainsepo cimo kwelana ne cinga ncakute kwinsa.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Pilato walabakumbuleti, “Mulayandanga ndimusungulwile Mwami wa Bayuda?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Pakwinga Pilato walaboneshesha kwambeti nipacebo caminyono yabo ecalapesheti beshimilumbo bamakulene bamulete Yesu kulyendiye.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Nomba beshimilumbo bamakulene balayungaula bantu kwambeti basenge Pilato abasungulwile Balaba.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Nendi Pilato kayi walabepusheti, “Inga ndimwinseconi uyu ngomulambangeti eMwami wa Bayuda?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Balo balabilikisheti “Apopwe!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Nomba kayi Pilato walapitilisha kubepusheti, “Inga nipacebo cini? Inga lenshi mulandu cini,” Nomba nabo empobalolobesheti, “Apopwe?”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Pilato pakuyanda kubakondwelesha, walabasungulwila Balaba, ne kwambeti Yesu bamukwapule, kayi bamutwale kuya kumupopa.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Bashilikali balamumanta Yesu kuya nendi mukati mulubuwa lwa ng'anda ya mwendeleshi, ne kubunganya bashilikali bonse.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Balamufwalika Yesu mwinjila ufubeluka, balapomba cishoti cabwami ca myunga ne kumufwalika.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Balatatika kumupa mitende mwalisongwe kabambeti, “Mwikale ne buyumi butali amwe Mwami wa Bayuda!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Kayi balabamuma pamutwi neluntele nekumusankila mata ne kumusuntamina kabamukambilila.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Mpobalapwisha kumutakausha, balamufulula mwinjila ufubeluka ne kumufwalika mwinjila wakendi, balamutangunya kuya kumupopa.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.

21Kayi mpobalikuya balakumanya Shimoni, waku Kulene walikupita kafuma kumunshi, baishi Alekisandulo ne Lufu, balamukakatisha kwambeti amante lusanda lwa 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.

22Balashika nendi pa musena walikukwiweti, Gologota, ekwambeti musena wacifupa ca mutwi.They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Balamupa waini wasankanishiwa ne mule, nomba nendi Yesu walakana kunwa.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Panyuma pakumupopa, balauma nsolo kwambeti babone umo ne umo ngaumantapo cani pa byakufwala byakendi.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Yesu balamupopa pa lusanda ne cindi ca 9 koloko mumenemene.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Malembo alambanga sha mulandu ngobalamupa alikubelengweti, “Mwami wa Bayuda.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Kayi kopeloko kwalikuba kwapopwa kapondo babili umo kucikasa cakululyo ca Yesu, naumbi kucikasa ca kucipiko ca Yesu.Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Mabala alakwanilishiwa akwambeti,walabelengelwa pamo ne bamilandu.Not in the BSB

29Bantu balikupita pepi balikwamba maswi akumutukana Yesu kabapukumuna mitwi yabo kabambeti, “Ba! Obe shikuwisha Ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi ne kuyibaka mumasuba atatu,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,

30kolipulusha wenka, selukapo palusandapo!”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Nabo beshimilumbo ba makulene, pamo ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose balikumuwela Yesu, nekwamba palwabo beneti, “Walikupulusha bantu bambi,nkela kulipulusha mwine.In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Klistu Mwami wa Baislayeli lino koselukapo pa lusanda, kwambeti afwe tubone kayi tushome” Nabo balikuba bapopwa pamo ne Yesu balikumutukana.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.

33Cindi mpocalashika muma 12 koloko munshi, mucishico mwalaba mushinshe mpaka cindi ca 3 koloko mansailo.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Pacindi ca muma 3 koloko Yesu walabilikisha ne liswi lyangofu “Eloi Eloi Lama sabakatani!” Uku ekwambeti, “Lesa wakame, Lesa wakame, mulanshiyi aconi ndenka!”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?”

35Abo balikubapo mpobalanyumfwa ncalikwamba balambeti “Kamubonani! Lakunga Eliya.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Popelapo naumbi walamanta cisambo nekufwamba kuya kucisabika mu waini wasasa, ne kucisungilila ku lutele nekumupa kwambeti anwe, kambeti, “Katupembelelani, tubone na Eliya nese amuselushe palusanda.”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.”

37Pacindici Yesu walakuluma cangofu ne kutaya moyo.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Naco cikwisa ca mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, calikucala pakati pa cipinda Caswepa ne cipinda Caswepeshesha calatwamuka pakati kutatikila pelu mpaka panshi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Lino mushilikali mukulene walikuba wemane pepi kali walangana ne Yesu, mpwalabona kwambeti Yesu lataya moyo, walambeti, “Cakubinga muntuyu wanga mwanendi Lesa!”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!”

40Palikuba kayi batukashi balikuba bemana capataliko kabebelela, pakati pabo palikuba Maliya waku magadala ne Maliya banyina Jemusi kanike wakonka Yose, kayi ne 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.

41abo ebalikwenda pamo nendiye nekumusebensela cindi ncalikuba ku Galileya.Palikuba kayi batukashi bangi balesa pamo nendiye ku Yelusalemu.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.

42Cindi camansailo pabusuba bwakulibambila kwambeti lilo bwakaca nibusuba bwa Sabata,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Yosefe waku Alimateya umo wa mu Nkuta inene ya Bayuda weshibikwa ne bonse, uyo neye walikupembelela Bwami bwa Lesa, walayumisha moyo nekuya kusenga mubili wa Yesu kuli Pilato.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.

44Nomba Pilato walakankamana kunyumfweti Yesu lafu kendi.Walakuwa mushilikali mukulene, nekumwipusha kwambeti ashininkishe na nicakubinga Yesu lafu kendiPilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Mpwalamwambila Pilato kwambeti nicakubinga Yesu lafu kendi, walamusuminisha Yosefe kumanta mubili wa Yesu.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Yosefe walaula cikwisa, mpwalaselusha mubili panshi, walaufungaila mu cikwisa, walamanta mubili nekuya kubika mumanda abeswa mulibwe, ne kukunkulushilapo cilibwe pa cishinga ca manda.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 Magadala, ne Maliya banyina Yose, balikabebelela ne kubonapo mpwalabikwa.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
