Mark 15 (YAF) · Opened

1Kuma buna kwákhya, bambuta ba banganga Nzambi bákutakana hakimosi yi bambuta ba bayuta yi balongi ba mitsiku mu kimvuka kya mbuta. Kunima dya kumukasa Yesu, bámunata amana bámulambula kwena Philatu.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.

2Amana Philatu wámuhyula: «Ngeyi, kyamvu wa Bayuta wenina?» Yesu wumuvutwadini: «Ngeyi meni wuzimbudibwa.»So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Bimbangi lawu bakala mutila kwena bambuta ba banganga Nzambi.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Philatu wámuhyula hika: «Wubatiku vutula keti kima? Tala moosu mana babati kufundila!»Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Kaasi Yesu kávutulaku hika keti kima, amana Philatu wáyituka lawu.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Bwosu bwákala ni mu mukinzi wosu wa Phaki, Philatu kakala sula mutu wa boloku mosi, wosu wuna bakala lomba batu.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Kinga yakala mosi, khumbu yandi Balabasi, wákala mu boloku hakimosi yi bandwandwa, kikuma kya buna káhonda mutu mu tangwa dya mvwalangani.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Mulumba-lumba wa batu bénda kuna nzu ya Philatu amana báyandika mu kumulomba ni kabahangila bwosu kyákala kikalulu kya bawu.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Philatu wábahyula: «Luzodi yiluyambwadila kyamvu wa Bayuta?»“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Mukuma wázaya kwandi ni, bapfumu ba banganga Nzambi, kikuma kya kiphala bámulambwala yandi.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Kaasi bambuta ba banganga Nzambi bálundika batu ndangu balenga bayambwadila kaka Balabasi.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Philatu wáhyula hika: «Amana biki yihanga buthwena kikuma kya yandu lwisi tela ni kyamvu wa Bayuta?»So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Bákalunga hika: «Mukhoka ha kitakani!»And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Philatu wábahyula: «Khi mbi kahangini?» Kaasi bawu bákalunga hika ngolu: «Mukhoka ha kitakani!»“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Philatu wázola kasephidisa mulumba-lumba wa batu, wábasudila yandi Balabasi. Kunima dya kumuzyatwasa mafimbu Yesu, wámulambula ndangu bamukhoka ha kitakani.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Baphumbulu bámubulumuna Yesu yi muna kyanzala kya nganda ya pfumu wa mbanza, amana bákhokika kibuka kya baphumbulu.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Bámuvwatisa mvwela ya kabengi amana bátunga mukhonzi wumosi wa tsaku, bávwatisawa kuna mutwa wandi.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Kunima báyandika mu kumuheka mboti: «Mboti, kyamvu wa Bayuta!»And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Bakala muzyatula muswangina muna mutwa, kumuhuma metya yi kufukamaka kuna thwala ya yandi.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Tangwa bamanisa mu kumuseya, bámukatulaya mvwela yina ya kabengi amana bámuvwatisa hika miledi myandi. Kunima bámunata ku phenza ndangu benda mukhoka ha kitakani.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.

21Mu kunata kitakani kyandi, baphumbulu bálundika mutu mosi wakala hita, wátuka ku bilanga, Simoni mwisi Sileni, tata wa Alekizande yi Lufwi.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.

22Amana bámunata Yesu yi hana homa hana bisi tela ni Kolukota, disongidila: «Kizika kya Kibelengenzi kya mutwa.»They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Bázola ni bamuheka vinu dya kusanga mila, kaasi yandi wábwisadya.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Bámukhoka ha kitakani, amana bákabana miledi myandi mu kubetilamya zeki ndangu bazaya kina káfwana kubonga kosu mutu.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Dyákala tangwa dya vwa dya suka, ha bámukhoka ha kitakani.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Bisona bina bánamika byákala tendula kikuma kya ndola yandi, byákala yi mihowu myami: «Kyamvu wa Bayuta.»And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Hakimosi yi yandi, bákhoka hana kitakani bandwandwa bodi, mosi ku koku dyandi dya kitata, mukwawu ku koku dyandi dya kimama. [Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Bwabuna málungila mana básonika mu nzila ya Masonuku: «Bámusya mu kanga dya batu bambi.»]Not in the BSB

29Bana bákala mu kuhita, bákala mutukwana yi kunikisaka mutwa mya bawu; yi kuzimbulaka: «He! Ngeyi wakala zimbula ni wáwulumuna nzu ya Nzambi amana mu bilumbu bitatu wutunguludiya,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,

30dihulula ngeyi meni amana tuluka ha kitakani!»come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Phila mosi phi kwena bambuta ba banganga Nzambi yi kwena balongi ba mitsiku bakala museya yi kuzonzaka: «Batu bahika kakala hulula amana kafwaniku kudihulula yandi meni!In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Kidisitu, kyamvu wa Kiseledi, katuluka buthwena ha kitakani, ndangu twamona amana twakwikila.» Batu bana bámukhoka bawu ha kitakani bákala mutukwana phi.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.

33Tuka tangwa dya tsinzi, phipha yábwa muna kinzunga kina kyosu tii yi kuna tangwa dya tatu dya masikidika.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Muna tangwa dya tatu dya masikidika, Yesu wákalunga mu ndinga ya ngolu: «Eloyi, Eloyi, lema sabakatani?» Disongidila: «Nzambi wama, Nzambi wama, kikuma kya biki wungyambwadidini?»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?”

35Bahika, mu kati dya bana bákala hahana, bámuyuka, bazimbudini: «Talandi, Diya, kabati tela yandu!»When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Mutu mosi wátyakula thinu, wábonga kitini kya vuya, wávundikikya muna vinu dya ngani, amana wázitikadya ku muswangina, kamuheka yandi ndangu kanwa. Amana wuzimbudini: «Yambulenu, twatala kamba Diya kakwisa mutulula hahana!»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.”

37Kaasi Yesu wákalunga hika mu ndinga ya ngolu amana wátabula moya.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Kutala muledi wa zitu wuna wakala kabisa kizika kyahedila yi kina kyákala kyahedila kuluta mu nzu ya Nzambi wuyatukini mu byati byodi tuka ku londi yi kuna banda.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Buna kámona phila yina káfwila, hanga satudiyoni wuna wákala hakana, kuna thwala yandi, wuzimbudini: «Mu kyedika, mutu yandu Mwana wa Nzambi kákadikini!»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!”

40Hákala phi yi bakhetu bakala tala kuna kyana. Hana kati dya bawu, hákala yi Madiya mwisi Makatala, Madiya ngudi wa Zyaki wakhunda yi Zoze yi mukhetu wahika Salomeyi.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.

41Babana bakala mulanda, bakala musadila phi tuka ku Ngadidi. Hákala hika yi bakhetu balawu bana bátombuka hakimosi yi yandi ku 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.

42Masikidika hana mabwi kedi, yi bwosu kyákala kilumbu kina kyatekidila sabata, kina bakala yidikila mukinzi,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43wisa tula Yozefu, mwisi Adimateya, wuna bakala zitisa phi ku kibuka kyambuta. Kakala hingila yandi phi Kipfumu kya Nzambi. Wenda kwena Philatu mu kulomba lutu lwa 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.

44Philatu wáyituka lawu mu kuyuka ni wutabudiki kedi moya, wátedisa satudiyoni amana wámuhyula yuka ni thama katabwadikini moya.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Buna káyuka meni dya satudiyoni, wáhana muswa kwena Yozefu mu kubonga mvumbi.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Yozefu wásumba muledi wa thangi, wámutulula Yesu ha kitakani, wámuvunga hana muledi wa thangi amana wámusikula muna mazyamu mana básima muna kitadi. Kunima wákidika kalunga tadi kuna mwelu wa mazyamu.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.

47Madiya mwisi Makatala yi Madiya ngudi wa Zoze bakala simbulula bamona homa hana bámusya.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
