Mark 15 (XNJ) · Opened

1Lukela pehe, vakulu va kuteta vayidakilini pamonga na vagogo na Vawula va Malagizu na vanalibanji voha, vakamkunga Yesu, vakampeleka na kumgotola kwa Pilatu.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.

2Pilatu akamkota Yesu, “Wu, veve ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi?” Yesu akayangula. “Ena, ndi ngati wamwene cheujova.”So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Vakulu va kuteta vamtakili Yesu mambu gamahele.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Hinu, Pilatu akamkota kavili Yesu, “Wu, wiyangula lepi lilovi? Yuwanila chevakutakila mambu gamahele kukuvala veve.”Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Nambu Yesu ayangwili lepi lilovi, hati Pilatu akakangasa.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Kila lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa Pasaka, Pilatu avi na mvelu wa kuvadindulila vandu mkungiwa mmonga mwevamganayi.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Lukumbi lwenulo kwavili mundu mmonga liina laki Balaba, mweakungiwi muchifungu pamonga na vayaki ndava ya kukita chitututu na kukoma vandu.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Vandu vamahele vakamhambila Pilatu vakamuyupa avakitila ngati cheyavili mvelu waki.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Pilatu akavakota, “Wu, mwigana nivadindulilayi Nkosi wa Vayawudi?”“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Ajovili chenicho ndava vakulu vakuteta vamgotwili Yesu kwaki, ndava ya wihu.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Nambu vakulu va kuteta vakavakoakesa vandu vamuyupa Pilatu avadindulila Balaba pahali pa Yesu.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Pilatu akavakota kavili, “Hinu, mwigana nimkita chindu kiki na mundu uyu mwemkumkemela Nkosi wa Vayawudi?”So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Vandu voha vakajova kavili kwa lwami luvaha, “Mvamba mu msalaba!”And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Nambu Pilatu akavakota, “Ndava kyani? Ahokili kyani?” Nambu vene vakayonjokesa kujova kwa lwami luvaha, “Mvamba pamsalaba!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Pilatu aganili kuuganisa msambi wa vandu, akamudindulila Balaba kuhuma muchifungu. Kangi akalagizila Yesu vamtova michapilu, kangi akamgotola vamvamba pamsalaba.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Kangi manjolinjoli vala vampeliki Yesu mugati ya luvanja lwa nyumba ya Pilatu, mkulu wa mulima, vakavakemela pamonga msambi woha wa manjolinjoli.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Vamuwaliki nyula za langi ya zambalau ngati nkosi, vabotili njingwa ya minga, vakamuwalika kumutu.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Vakatumbula kumjambusa, “Tikuwoni, Nkosi wa Vayawudi!”And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Vakamtova kumutu na ndonga, vakamuhunyila mata, vakamfugamila na kumgundamila.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Pavamalili kumvevesa, vakamuhula nyula ya zambalau yila, vakamuwalika nyula zaki, kangi vakamuwusa kuvala kumvamba pamsalaba.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.

21Pevavi munjila vakonganiki na mundu mmonga liina laki Simoni, mkolonjinji wa Kulene mwene avili dadi wavi Alekizanda na Lufo. Lukumbi lwenulo apitayi kuhuma kuvala ya muji kuyingila pabomani. Manjolinjoli vakamkamula Simoni na kumgegesa msalaba weavi nawu 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.

22Kangi vampeliki Yesu mbaka pandu pepikemelewa Goligota, maana yaki “Libangu la Mutu.”They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Kangi vakampela divayi yevahangisini na mtela wewukemelewa manemane, nambu Yesu abelili kunywa.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Hinu vakamvamba pamsalaba, vakagavana nyula zaki, kwa gudugudu muni vamanya kila mmonga yati ipata kyani.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Yavili saa yidatu ya lukela pavamvamba pamsalaba.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Panani ya msalaba wula vaviki chibawu, chevayandiki matakilu gaki, mwenuyu ndi, “Nkosi wa Vayawudi.”And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Mewawa vavavambili panani ya pamisalaba vanyagaji vavili, papipi na Yesu, mmonga upandi waki wa kulyelela na yungi upandi waki wa kumangeya.Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Mambu aga ndi gitimisa Mayandiku Gamsopi gegijova, “Avikiwi pamonga na vehenga gahakau.”Not in the BSB

29Vandu vevapitayi pandu apo vakamliga na kunyugusa mitu yavi na kujova, “Mwe! Veve mweugwisa Nyumba ya Chapanga na kuyijenga kavili mu magono gadatu!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,

30Hinu, huluka pamsalaba ujisangulayi wamwene!”come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Mewawa vakulu va kuteta pamonga na vawula va malagizu vamvevisi vajovesana vene kwa vene, “Avasangwili vangi nambu kujisangula mwene itola lepi!In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Ati, mwene ndi Kilisitu, Nkosi wa Isilaeli! Hinu ahulukayi kuhuma pamsalaba muni tilola na kumsadika.” Hati vandu vala vevavambiwi pamsalaba papipi nayu, navene mewa vamligili.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.

33Kutumbula saa sita ya muhi mbaka saa tisa, chitita chagubiki mulima woha.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Saa tisa muhi Yesu akajova kwa lwami luvaha, akajova, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabakitani?” Mana yaki “Chapanga wangu, Chapanga wangu, ndava kyani unilekili?”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?”

35Vandu vangi pagati ya vevayimili pala, pevayuwini ago, vakajova, “Yuwanila! Akumkemela Eliya.”When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Mundu mmonga akajumba, akajwiga chindu ngati lidodoki mudivayi yeyivava, akavika panani ya ndonga, akamvikila pamlomo akajova, “Linda tilola ngati Eliya yati ibwela kumuhulusa pamsalaba!”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.”

37Yesu akakwesa lwami luvaha, afwili.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Hinu, lipazia la Nyumba ya Chapanga likapapuka pagati kuhuma kunani mbaka pahi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Mkulu mmonga wa msambi wa manjolinjoli mweayimili palongolo yaki peamuwene Yesu cheifwa, akajova, “Chakaka mundu uyu avili Mwana wa Chapanga!”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!”

40Kwavili na vadala vevalolayi chakutali, pagati yavi avi Maliya mkolonjinji wa Magidala, na Maliya nyina wavi Yakobo mdebe na Yose mewa na 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.

41Vadala ava ndi vevamlandili Yesu ku Galilaya ndava ya kumhengela. Kwavili na vadala vangi vamahele vevabwelili ku Yelusalemu pamonga nayu.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.

42Kimihi yamali kuhika, ndi yavili ligono la kutendelekela kwakona Ligono la Kupumulila.Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Penapo abwelili Yosefu mkolonjinji wa ku Alimatei, mmonga pagati ya vanalibanji likulu, mweitopeswa neju. Mwene mewa alindilayi kubwela kwa Unkosi wa Chapanga. Hinu amhambalili Pilatu changali wogohi, akamuyupa apewayi higa 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.

44Pilatu akakangasa kuyuwana kuvya Yesu amali kufwa. Hinu akamkemela chilongosi wa msambi wa manjolinjoli, akamkota ngati lumali kupita lukumbi lutali kutumbula Yesu peafwili.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Pilatu peamali kujoviwa uchakaka kuhuma kwa chilongosi wa msambi wa manjolinjoli yula kuvya Yesu amali kufwa, akamyidakila Yosefu atola higa ya Yesu.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Yosefu akagula nyula ya msopi, akayihulusa pahi higa yila, akayitindisila nyula ya msopi, akayivika mulitinda la mbugu lelahongoliwi palitalau, akabilingisa liganga pamlyangu wa litinda.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 mkolonjinji wa Magidala na Maliya nyina wa Yose vapawene pandu pala pevayivikili higa ya Yesu.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
