Mark 15 (YOM) · Opened

1Muna nsuka bapfumu banganga Nzambi, bakulutu ba dibundu, minlongi mi Mina ayi batu babo ba lukutukunu lunneni bakutakana. Bakanga yesu, bannata ayi banyekula mu mioko mi 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 wunyuvula : —Ngeyo widi Ntinu wu Bayuda ? Yesu wumvutudila : —Ngeyo veka tubidi buawu !So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3Bosi bapfumu banganga Nzambi zimvubudila mambu mawombo.And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

4Pilatu wunyuvula diaka : —Wulendi vutula kadi diambu ko ? Wulembo wi mambu momo balembo kumfundila ?Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

5Vayi Yesu kasia vutula diaka kadi diambu dimosi ko. Buna Pilatu wusimina ngolo.But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

6Kifu kiba yawu mu thangu nyengo, Pilatu wuba totulanga mutu wumosi mu nloko, woso mutu wuba nlombongo kuidi batu.Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

7Vayi mutu wumosi wuba mu nloko, dizina diandi Balabasi, wukangu va kimosi ayi bakundi bandi bu batotula khindu. Muna khindu beni bavondila mutu.And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

8Nkangu wu batu wuyamikina, wunlomba kavanga banga bobo keta ku bavangilanga.So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

9Pilatu wuba yuvula : —Lutidi ndilutotudila Ntinu wu Bayuda e ?“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

10Bila wuzaba mboti ti bapfumu banganga Nzambi zinyekudila Yesumu diambu di kikhenene.For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

11Vayi bapfumu banganga Nzambi zikambisila nkangu wu batu ti wulomba katotula Balabasi.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

12Pilatu wuba yuvula e ? —A vayi mbi lutidi phangila mutu wowo luntedilanga ntinu wu Bayuda ?So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

13Babo babuela yamikina : —Wumbanda va dikulusi !And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

14Pilatu wuba yuvula : —Diambu mbi di mbimbi kavengi e ? Vayi baluta yamikina ngolo : —Wumbanda va dikulusi !“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

15Pilatu wuzola monisa nkangu wu batu khini, diawu kabatotudila Balabasi. Bu kamana zubisa Yesu bikoti ayi wuba yekudila niandi muingi bambanda va dikulusi.And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

16Masodi manata Yesu ku luphangu, buangu kioki beti sambisila batu, bakutikisa masodi moso.Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

17Bamvuika yunga kimbuaki. Buna bamana vanga phu ki kipfumu ki zitsendi ; bamvuika kiawu ku ntu.They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

18Buna bamvana mboti : —Mbote, ntinu wu Bayuda !And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19Baba kunzubanga nti ku ntu, banlobudila madita ayi bamfukiminaayi baba kumvananga minzitusu.They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

20Buna bamana kunsekinina, bamvula yunga beni kimbuaki ayibamvuika minledi miandi ; bosi bannata ku nganda muingi bambanda va dikulusi.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.

21Mutu wumosi muisi Silene, dizina diandi Simoni, dise di Alekizandele ayi Lufusi, wuba ku nsitu. Vioka kuandi kaba mviokila mu nzila beni. Vayi masodi buna mammona, mankuika kanata dikulusi di 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.

22Banata Yesu va buangu kintedulungu “Ngolongota”. Tsundu Ngolongota “buangu ki mvesi wu ntu.”They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23Kuna bamvanina vinu kisobokoso ayi mila muingi kanua, vayi kasia kinua ko.There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24Bu bambanda va dikulusi, bakabana minledi miandi, babudila miawutsombo mu diambu di zaba miomi kadika mutu kafueti tambula.And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25Yiba nduka-nduka thangu yi vua yi nsuka mu thangu bambanda va dikulusi.It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26Tini ki dibaya kisonama bila kioki bamfundila, kisonama mambu mama : “Ntinu wu Bayuda”.And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Bidovula biodi bibandu mu makulusu va kimosi ayi Yesu ; wumosi ku koko ku lubakala, wunkaka ku koko ku lumoso. [Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

28Buawu bobo budedikinina mambu momo masonama mu Minkanda : “Bantula mu nkangu wu batu bambimbi.”]Not in the BSB

29Batu bobo baviokila vana, bamfinga, banikuna mintu ayi bakamba : —E e ngeyo ! Ngeyo wuntiolumunanga Nzo Nzambi ayi wukuyitungilanga mu bilumbu bitatu !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,

30Wukivukisa ngeyo veka ; bosi kuluka va dikulusi !come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

31Bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi minlongi mi mina mamvawubansekinina. Bakambasana bawu na bawu : —Wuvukisidi batu bankaka vayi niandi veka kalendi kukivukisa ko !In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

32Bika Klisto ntinu wu Iseli kakuluka buabu va dikulusi muingi tumona ayi tuwilukila ! Bobo babandu yandi va dikulusi, mamvawu bamfinga.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.

33Mu thangu midi, tombi kibua mu tsi yimvimba, kizingila natemu thangu yi ntatu yi masika.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34—Mu thangu yintatu, Yesu wuyamikina mu ndinga yingolo : —Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabakatani ! Bu dinsundula : Nzambi ama ! Nzambi ama ! Bila mbi wundiekudi !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?”

35Batu bankaka baba vana bu bawa bobo batuba : —Tala Eli kantela.When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36Wumosi wuzawula ayi wuyenda buika tini ki eponzi mu vinu ki ngami, wukisomika va tsongi nti ayi wutambika Yesu muingi kanua ; bu katuba : —Bika, tutala kani Eli makiza nkulula.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.”

37Vayi Yesu wuyamikina ngolo ayi wuzenga vumunu.But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38Muna thangu beni lido yi Nzo Nzambi yikanzuka mu zindambuzizole ; tona ku yilu nate ku tsi.And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39Nkulutu wu masodi, wutalana ayi Yesu, bu kamona ti wutabukavumunu mu yamikina bobo, buna wutuba : —Bukiedika, mutu wawu bedi Muana Nzambi !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!”

40Vaba diaka ayi ndambu yi baketo baba ntadilanga ku thama. Mu bawu muba : Maliya muisi Mangadala, Maliya ngudi yi Zaki di nleki wu Yose ayi ngudi yi 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.

41Bawu baba kunlandakananga, baba kunsadisanga mu thangu kaba ku Ngalili. Baketo bankaka bawombo bayiza yandi va kimosi ku Yelusalemi baba vana.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.

42Mu thangu masika, mu lumbu ki khubumunu, buna lumbu kimosi kisiedimuingi lumbu ki saba kiba.Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

43Zozefi muisi Alimate wuyiza. Wuba mutu wunneni mu lukutukunu lunneni lu Bayuda. Niandi mamvandi wuba vingilanga ndizulu yi Kipfumu ki Nzambi ; wuyenda mu bukhafi boso kuidi Pilatu mu kunlomba nitu yi 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 wusimina bu kawa ti Yesu fuidingi. Buna wutumisa pfumu yi masodi ayi wunyuvula keni thama kafuidingi.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45Bu kawa buawu kuidi pfumu yi masodi, buna wuvana Zozefi minsua mu bonga nitu yi Yesu.When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Zozefi bu kasumba dikendi diphembi di thalu, wubotula mvumbi yi Yesu va dikulusi, wuyizinga va dikendi beni bosi wuyizika mu ziami kisokolomu ditadi ; wunengumuna ditadi vana muelo ziami.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 muisi Mangadala ayi Maliya ngudi yi Yose bamona buangu kioki bantula.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
