Mark 15 (YNS) · Opened

1U tutu tutu, amfum a angaŋ bàköŋ anà andweer, anà alɔɔŋ a in'kɔɔn anà Làbay a nsaŋ làkölàköl lanswà. Ba bàbäm Yɛsu in'siŋ, bun'syen anà bun'pɛ akà 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 waa kun'fuul naa: « Nkye ngye awà mfum a Ayudà? » Yɛsu waa kun'fuur naa: « Ngye ŋàkwo an'tɛn. »So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Amfum a angaŋ bun'füünà indiir mbɔɔn.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Pilatu kàfun'fuulà naa: « Nkye ngye ndaa afuur anki akà ikikye? Ngye akiweemà indiir mbɔɔn bàfüünà ba ngye! »Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Wɛɛ Yɛsu kàsàfuur anki akà ndaa mwɛy, abun Pilatu waa kàbem.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Kà un'kyɔm wanswà, Pilatu kàkäl anà nkääl mutsuuŋ mbuur a bɔlokà mwɛy, mbuur kàlɔ̈ɔ̈mà un'sɛŋ.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Kyekà mbuur mwɛy ikɔb ande Barabas kàkäl u bɔlokà anà aŋàlingyoomà abà bàdwä mbuur umpal làbü lingyoomà.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Un'sɛŋ a baar kàbeenà, waa kàsɛmà mukun'lɔ̈ɔ̈m naa nde kapɛ asànaa nkääl ande.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Pilatu kàfuul naa: « Nkye bɛ làkyàkwen mɛ alàwɛɛy mfum a Ayudà? »“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Ntɔn nde kàkyer ayöb naa ba Yɛsu bun'yälà ntɔn un'köl aba.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Wɛɛ amfum a angaŋ bàsiinà un'sɛŋ ntɔn Pilatu katsuuŋ awà Barabas.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Pilatu kàfàtɛn a ba naa: « Abun bɛ làkwen naa mɛ nkye in'kyer anà mbuur làfàbel bɛ mfum a Ayudà? »So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Ba bàfàsà in'kwɛŋ: « Un'bɛɛrà u kulunsi! »And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Pilatu kàtɛɛnà a ba naa: « Ube nà nde kàkyer bà? » Wɛɛ ba bàsöönà musà in'kwɛŋ: « Un'bɛɛrà u kulunsi! »“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Pilatu kàkwen mupà un'sɛŋ un'sak, waa katsuuŋ Barabas. Apan nde kàswɛŋ naa bàkäm Yɛsu an'füm, waa kun'yälà ntɔn bun'bɛɛrà u kulunsi.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Aŋità bàsyen Yɛsu uboo a làpaŋ a kuvɛrnɔ̈ɔ̈r u pɛlàtwal, waa bàbel làböl lanswà.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Ba bun'bwää kàzak a tsöö, waa bun'tɔ̈ɔ̈l mpà a nsyeenà bàtöŋ ba kun'tswe.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Ba bàsɛmà mukun'pà mbɔr naa: « Mbɔr, mfum a Ayudà! »And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Ba bun'kämà un'bii kun'tswe, bun'tsüülà an'te, anà bàbwee an'köm kusà ande ntɔn mukömà.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Ungö amukun'sɛɛ, ba bun'lwom kàzak a tsöö, waa bun'fuur ipfɛy ande. Apan ba bun'twey u nsà a bul ntɔn bàkun'bɛɛrà u kulunsi.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.

21Mbuur mwɛy, ikɔb ande Simɔn, un'nsi Sirɛn, taar a Alɛksandre anà Rufus, kàfü ndwaŋ, anà kàkäl mulyaaŋ. Aŋità bun'siinà a ngwal musyen kulunsi.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.

22Ba bàsyen Yɛsu kà ikäl mwɛy ikɔb a kya Ngɔlàngɔta, ikaswaŋà naa: « Ikal a köl a un'tswe. »They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Ba bun'pɛɛ vin aŋàtüüb a dyam, wɛɛ Yɛsu kàtön munwà la.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Ungö bun'bɛɛrà ba u kulunsi, ba bàkäbà ipfɛy ande, waa bàtɛɛ löb ntɔn muyöb naa mbuur mbuur ininà uwal.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Ba bun'bɛɛrà u kulunsi u taaŋ làwà làtutu.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Isin a ndaa bàsön muswaŋ ntsüül a ukwà ande yàkäl abà: « Mfum a Ayudà. »And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Ba bàbɛɛrà sye baar abe abɔ̈ɔ̈l u bikulunsi ukɔl a Yɛsu, mwɛy u kɔɔ ande là ibaal, umwɛy u kɔɔ ande là ikaar. [Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Apan itiir a Ndaa Aŋàsɔn yi laa kyàkwe kya: « Nde bun'täŋ unsà ulwaŋ a baar abe. » ]Not in the BSB

29Baar bàlyaaŋà u mbwo bun'töö, bànii in'tswe, waa bàtɛɛnà naa: « Imbye itàkal ngye atàman! Ngye awee naa abwiy ndwà a Nzam, waa afàtɔŋ ya kà ilä itär,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,

30tswà mɔ̈ɔ̈ angye, ngye ŋankwo, tɔlà u kulunsi! »come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Amfum a angaŋ anà alɔɔŋ a in'kɔɔn bàsɛɛ, ba a ba, waa bàtɛɛnà naa: « Nde kàtsü baar asin mɔ̈ɔ̈, wɛɛ nde ukwe anki mutswà mɔ̈ɔ̈ nde ŋakwo!In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Wɛy Klistɔ, mfum a Isàlɛl utɔlà apanà u kulunsi, waa bi iman, waa bi isà làkwikilà! » Baar bàbɛɛrà u kulunsi mbwo mwɛy anà nde, bun'töö sye.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.

33U midi làpib làkyer abwà u mɛɛn manswà tii u taaŋ làtär ungö a midi.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34Apan, u taaŋ làtär, Yɛsu kàsi un'kwɛŋ a ngwal: « Ɛlɔyi, Ɛlɔyi, lɛma sabaktani? » Ikaswaŋà naa: « Nzam a mɛ, Nzam a mɛ, ntɔn nkye aman'wɛy ngye? » -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?”

35Bamwɛy uboo a baar bàkäl paa bun'weemà ba, waa bàtɛɛnà naa: « Làwem, nde kan'bel Ɛli! »When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Mbuur mwɛy kàkaamà ntiin, kànwɛmà ikaam a ipfɛy unsà vin a nkyään, nde kàbäm kya u nswɛŋ a un'bii, waa kàsilà kya akà Yɛsu ntɔn nde unü, wàmutɛn naa: « Làdil, bi iler naa nkye Ɛli akyun'tɔɔl u kulunsi! »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.”

37Wɛɛ Yɛsu kàsi un'kwɛŋ a ngwal, waa un'swey kàtoo.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Rido a idwà làkaamà itiir byeel fà du tii u ngyɛl.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Kaptɛn kàkäl paa kusà a nde, mpal kàmɛn nde naa nde kàkü aben, waa kàtɛn naa: « Ndandaa mbuur wà kàkäl Mwan a Nzam! »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!”

40Bàkäl anà akaar amwɛy sye bàleerà ukwɛl. Uboo a ba, bàkäl Màlye un'nsi Magàdala, Màlye ngwän a Zyak Un'kye, anà Yɔsɛ, anà Salɔmɛ.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.

41Ba bàkäl akaar bàyun'labà anà bàyun'syäälà mpal kàkäl nde u Ngalilɛ, anà akaar asin mbɔɔn bàbeenà Yɛlusàlɛm anà nde.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.

42Sisye làkäl aŋàbwà, kya kyàkal ilä ayöŋà, iswaŋà naa ilä kyàfweel saba,Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43un'byääl mwɛy wà làbay a nsaŋ, Yɔsɛfi un'nsi Alimatɛ, kàyàkɔlà paa. Nde sye kàfadilà Imwol a Nzam. Nde kàwɛl ibaal mukyà akà Pilatu ntɔn mulɔm ndom a Yɛsu.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 kàbem muwem naa nde abwà akwà. Nde kàbel kaptɛn, waa kun'fuul naa nkye nde kàkü itaan.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Ungö kàyöb nde u mbwo a kaptɛn, nde kàpɛ mbwo akà Yɔsefi muwal ndom.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Ungö musom làpye a pɛɛl, nde kàtɔɔl ndom u kulunsi, kàläl ya uboo a làpye, kàsi ya kà an'dii bàfuun uboo a nkɔŋ, waa kàbuum nkɔŋ a kölàköl ntɔn mudübà an'dii.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.

47Màlye un'nsi Magàdalà anà Màlye ngwän a Yɔsɛ bàleerà ikal basi ndom.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
