Mark 15 (WBI) · Opened

1Palwakilo ye kukiile, avavaha vateseki, avavulanisi va ndaghilo palikimo na vagojo, vakapuling'hana. Vakankunga uYesu, vakantwala kwa ntwa uPilato kuuti ahighue.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.

2Upilato akamposia uYesu akati, “Asi, uve veeve Ntwa ghwa Vayahundi?” UYesu akamwamula akati, “Uve ujovile.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Avavaha va vatekesi vakava vifikwoleka si nyinga isa kumpelela uYesu ahighue.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4UPilato pe akamposia kange akati, “Kiki naghukwamula lumonga? Lolagha avaanhu ava vule vijova si nyinga isa kukuhigha.”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5UYesu naalyamwile kimonga. Apuo uPilato akadegha.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Lwale lwiho kwa ntwa pa kyimike ikya Pasaka, kukun'dindululla uknkungua jumo juno avaanhu vasumile.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Kwealyale unkungua jumonga juno akatambulwagha Balaba. Umuunhu ujo alyakungilue palikimo na vaanhu avange, ulwakuva valyavombile uvugalusi na kubuda.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Avaanhu vano valyakong'hanile vakava viluta kwa pilato kusuuma kuuti, avavombele ndavule lwale lwiho lwake pa kyimike ikya Pasaka.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9UPilato akavaposia akati, “Mulonda nivadindulile untwa ghwa vayahudi?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10UPilato alyavaposisie uluo ulwakuva alyakagwile kuuti, avavaha va vatekesi valyale ni kivini nu Yesu, Fye nambe valyantwalile kwa mwene ahighue.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Neke avavaha va vatekesi valyavafundile avaaanhu vooni kuuti, vansuume uPilato avadindulile uBalaba.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Avaanhu vala ye vansumile, uPilato akavoposia kange akati, “Umuunhu uju juno mwiti ghwentwa ghwa Vayahudi, nim'bombe kiki?So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Avaanhu vooni vakoova vakati, “Unkomelele pa kikovekano!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14UPilato akavoposia kange akati, “Umuunhu uju avombile luviivi luki?” Aveene vakavaposia kukwova viiti, “Unkomelele pa kikovekano!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15UPilato akan'dindulila uBalaba, ulwakuva akalondagha pikulihovosia iipugha ilya vaanhu. pe akalaghaghia kuuti uYesu atovue ni mijeledi, ye atovilue, akavasikili vakankomelele pa kikovekano.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Avasikali vakantwala uYesu mu luviika lwa nyumba ja ntwa, pe avasikali vooni vakakong'haana.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Vakamfwasia isopeka indangaji ija kitwa, vakatenda ingeela ija mifua neke vakamfwika ku mutu.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Vakatengula kukumhungila ni mbedo viiti, “Kamwne ghwa Vayahudi!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Vakava vikuntova ku mutu ni lilaasi na kukumfunyila amati. Kange vakafughamagha pa yesu na kukumwinamilia ni mbedo.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Ye vam'bedile na kukunnenela, Vakamfuula isopeka jila, vakamfwasia amenda ghaake, pe vakamhumia kunji, viluta kukunkomelala pa kikovekano.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.

21Ye vali mu sila, vakatang'hana nu muunhu jumonga juno akatambulwagha simoni, umhuna mu likaaja ilya Kileeni, ikwingila mu Yelusalemu. Usimoni ujuo alyaye viise ghwa Alekisanda nu lufo. Avasikali vakamwumilisia kupinda ikikovekano ikya 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.

22Pe vakantwala uYesu pano pakatambulwagha Goligota, kwekuti, “Ling'ala lya mutu.” YeThey brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23vafikile, vakampeela uluhuuje uluhasing'hanie nu nkota kusilisia uvuvafi, umwene akasiita kunyua.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Apuo vakankomelela uYesu, pa kikovekano, pe vakaghaana amenda ghaake mu sila js lusodolelo, kuuti nujunge atoole ghuliku.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Ye vikunkomelela uYesu, ghwale nsiki ghwa kavalilo kya vutatu palwakilo.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Pakyanya pa kikovekano vakakomelela ikitapa kino valyalembile amasio gha, “ghwe ntwa ghwa vayahudi,” kuvonia unkole ghuno valyam'balile.And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Palikimo nu mwene, valyavakomeliile avaanhu avange vavili vano valye vahijivabudi, jumonga akava ulubale ulwa kundio, ujunge kung'highi.Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Apuo silyavoniike sino silembilue mu malambe aMImike kuuti, “Alyavalilue palikimo na vahosi.”Not in the BSB

29Avaanhu vano vakava vikila nakukumwagha uYesu pa kikovekano, vakasukaniagha amatu ghaave vikumuligha, viiti, “Uwe ghwe juno ghwatisagha ghulimemula inyumba inyimike ija Nguluve na kujenga mu fighino fitatu,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,

30ika lino pa kikovekano ghupoke! “UYesu pakikovekano!come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Voope avavaha va vetekesi na ndaghilo vakamwovelelagha vatatisagha, “avapokagha avange, neke ikunua kukupoka mwene.In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Nave ghwe Kilesite, untwaghwa vaisilaeli, lino iike pa kikovekano, tulole neke twitike.” Voope vano vakakomelilue palikimo nu mwene vakava vikumuligha.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.

33Ye ghufikile unsiki ghwa kavalilo aka ntanda pamwisi, ing'hiisi jikakupikila iisi jooni kuhanga kufika akavalilo aka budikalubale.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Unsiki ugwa kavalilo aka budikalubale, uYesu akakoola fiijo akati, “Eloi Eloi, lama sabakitani?” Kwetuti, “Nguluve ghwango, Nguluve ghwango, ongo undekile?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?”

35Vamo nkate mu vano pwevalyale pala, ye vapuliike uluo vakati, “Pulisikia! Ikunkemeela um'bili uEliya!When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Umuunhu mumonga akaluta luvilo, akasuvika ikyenda mu luhuuje ulukali, akakiviika mu lulaasi, akam'besekesia uYesu pa mulomo kuuti amiime, akati, “Leka tulole, nave uEliya ikwisa kukumwisia pa kikivekano!”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.”

37UYesu akakoola fiijo, akakunguka.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Unsiki ghughuo umwenda ghuno ghulyaghavinie pavili inyumba inyimike ija Nguluve, ghukademuka pavili kuhuma kukyana kufika paasi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Um'baha ughwa vasikali juno alyimile kilunge nu Yesu, ye am'bwene pano ikunguka akajova akati, “Kyang'haani umuunhu uju akaale mwana Mwana ghwa Nguluve!”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!”

40Ye sivombeka isi sooni, pwevalyale avakijuuva vano valyimile petali padebe vilola. Mu vakijuuva avuo mwealyale uMaliya umhuma mu likaaja ilya Magidala, uSalome nu Maliya ung'ina ghwa yoose nu Yakovo un'debe.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.

41Ava vakam'bingililagha na pikum'bombela uYesu ye ali ku Galilaya. Kwevalanye na vakijuuva avange vinga vano valyalutile nu Yesu 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.

42Isi sooni savombiike ikighono ikya kuling'hania isabati. Ye vwilile, iSabati. jikyale pitengula,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43akiisa uYosefu ughwa ku ALimataya, alyale mwoghopua mu kipugha ikya vahingi. Ghwope akaghululagha kukwisa uvutwa vwa Nguluve. Ujuo akikangasia, akaluta kwa pilato, akasuma um'bili ghwa 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.

44UPilato ye apuliike kuuti u Yesu afwile, akadegha kyongo. Akankemeela um'baha ughwa vasikili, akamposia kuutu uYesu ndaveele afwile kali.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Ye apuliike uluo, akantavulila u Yosefu um'bili ghwa Yesu.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46UYosefu akaghula umwenda ughwa kunsyilila u Yesu. Akisia um'bili pa kikovekano, akaghuniengelela nu mwenda ghula. Pe akaghuviika mu mbiipa jino jabughulilue mu linhalavue, akabilukisia ilivue ilikome pa mulyango ghwa mbiipa.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.

47UMaliya umhuma mu likaaja ilya Magidala nu Maliya ung'ina ghwa Yoose, vakapaagha pano ghuvililue um'bili ghwa Yesu. Vibilusisia ilivue pa mulyango ghwa mbiipa.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
