¹Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

¹በዚያን ጊዜም ጲላጦስ ኢየሱስን ይዞ ገረፈው።

²And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

²ወታደሮችም ከእሾህ አክሊል ጐንጕነው በራሱ ላይ አኖሩ ቀይ ልብስም አለበሱት፤

³And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

³እየቀረቡም። የአይሁድ ንጉሥ ሆይ፥ ሰላም ለአንተ ይሁን ይሉት ነበር፤

⁴Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

⁴በጥፊም ይመቱት ነበር። ጲላጦስም ደግሞ ወደ ውጭ ወጥቶ። እነሆ፥ አንዲት በደል ስንኳ እንዳላገኘሁበት ታውቁ ዘንድ እርሱን ወደ ውጭ አወጣላችኋለሁ አላቸው።

⁵Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

⁵ኢየሱስም የእሾህ አክሊል ደፍቶ ቀይ ልብስም ለብሶ ወደ ውጭ ወጣ።

⁶When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

⁶ጲላጦስም። እነሆ ሰውዬው አላቸው። የካህናት አለቆችና ሎሌዎች ባዩትም ጊዜ። ስቀለው ስቀለው እያሉ ጮኹ። ጲላጦስም። እኔስ አንዲት በደል ስንኳ አላገኘሁበትምና እናንተ ወስዳችሁ ስቀሉት አላቸው።

⁷The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

⁷አይሁድም መልሰው። እኛ ሕግ አለን፥ እንደ ሕጋችንም ሊሞት ይገባዋል፥ ራሱን የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ አድርጎአልና አሉት።

⁸When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

⁸ስለዚህ ጲላጦስ ይህን ነገር በሰማ ጊዜ እግጅ ፈራ፤

⁹And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

⁹ተመልሶም ወደ ገዡ ግቢ ገባና ኢየሱስን። አንተ ከወዴት ነህ? አለው። ኢየሱስ ግን አንድ እንኳ አልመለሰለትም።

¹⁰Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

¹⁰ስለዚህ ጲላጦስ። አትነግረኝምን? ልሰቅልህ ሥልጣን እንዳለኝ ወይም ልፈታህ ሥልጣን እንዳለኝ አታውቅምን? አለው።

¹¹Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

¹¹ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ከላይ ካልተሰጠህ በቀር በእኔ ላይ ምንም ሥልጣን ባልነበረህም፤ ስለዚህ ለአንተ አሳልፎ የሰጠኝ ኃጢአቱ የባሰ ነው አለው።

¹²And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

¹²ከዚህ በኋላ ጲላጦስ ሊፈታው ፈለገ፤ ነገር ግን አይሁድ። ይህንስ ብትፈታው የቄሣር ወዳጅ አይደለህም፤ ራሱን ንጉሥ የሚያደርግ ሁሉ የቄሣር ተቃዋሚ ነው እያሉ ጮኹ።

¹³When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

¹³ጲላጦስም ይህን ነገር ሰምቶ ኢየሱስን ወደ ውጭ አወጣው፥ በዕብራይስጥም ገበታ በተባለው ጸፍጸፍ በሚሉት ስፍራ በፍርድ ወንበር ተቀመጠ።

¹⁴And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

¹⁴ለፋሲካም የማዘጋጀት ቀን ነበረ፤ ስድስት ሰዓትም የሚያህል ነበረ፤ አይሁድንም። እነሆ ንጉሣችሁ አላቸው።

¹⁵But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁵እነርሱ ግን። አስወግደው፥ አስወግደው፥ ስቀለው እያሉ ጮኹ። ጲላጦስም። ንጉሣችሁን ልስቀለውን? አላቸው። የካህናት አለቆችም። ከቄሣር በቀር ሌላ ንጉሥ የለንም ብለው መለሱለት።

¹⁶Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

¹⁶ስለዚህ በዚያን ጊዜ እንዲሰቀል አሳልፎ ሰጣቸው።

¹⁷And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

¹⁷ኢየሱስንም ይዘው ወሰዱት፤ መስቀሉንም ተሸክሞ በዕብራይስጥ ጎልጎታ ወደ ተባለው የራስ ቅል ስፍራ ወደሚሉት ወጣ።

¹⁸Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁸በዚያም ሰቀሉት፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ሌሎች ሁለት፥ አንዱን በዚህ አንዱን በዚያ ኢየሱስንም በመካከላቸው ሰቀሉ።

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁹ጲላጦስም ደግሞ ጽሕፈት ጽፎ በመስቀሉ ላይ አኖረው፤ ጽሕፈቱም። የአይሁድ ንጉሥ የናዝሬቱ ኢየሱስ የሚል ነበረ።

²⁰This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

²⁰ኢየሱስም የተሰቀለበት ስፍራ ለከተማ ቅርብ ነበረና ከአይሁድ ብዙዎች ይህን ጽሕፈት አነበቡት፤ በዕብራይስጥና በሮማይስጥ በግሪክም ተጽፎ ነበር።

²¹Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

²¹ስለዚህ የአይሁድ ካህናት አለቆች ጲላጦስን። እርሱ። የአይሁድ ንጉስ ነኝ እንዳለ እንጂ የአይሁድ ንጉሥ ብለህ አትጻፍ አሉት።

²²Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²²ጲላጦስም። የጻፍሁትን ጽፌአለሁ ብሎ መለሰ።

²³Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²³ጭፍሮችም ኢየሱስን በሰቀሉት ጊዜ ልብሶቹን ወስደው ለእያንዳንዱ ጭፍራ አንድ ክፍል ሆኖ በአራት ከፋፈሉት፤ እጀጠባቡን ደግሞ ወሰዱ። እጀ ጠባቡም ከላይ ጀምሮ ወጥ ሆኖ የተሠራ ነበረ እንጂ የተሰፋ አልነበረም።

²⁴They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

²⁴ስለዚህ እርስ በርሳቸው። ለማን እንዲሆን በእርሱ ዕጣ እንጣጣልበት እንጂ አንቅደደው ተባባሉ። ይህም። ልብሴን እርስ በርሳቸው ተከፋፈሉ በእጀ ጠባቤም ዕጣ ተጣጣሉበት የሚለው የመጽሐፍ ቃል ይፈጸም ዘንድ ነው።

²⁵Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁵ጭፍሮችም እንዲህ አደረጉ። ነገር ግን በኢየሱስ መስቀል አጠገብ እናቱ፥ የእናቱም እኅት፥ የቀለዮጳም ሚስት ማርያም፥ መግደላዊትም ማርያም ቆመው ነበር።

²⁶When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

²⁶ኢየሱስም እናቱን ይወደው የነበረውንም ደቀ መዝሙር በአጠገቡ ቆሞ ባየ ጊዜ እናቱን። አንቺ ሴት፥ እነሆ ልጅሽ አላት።

²⁷Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁷ከዚህ በኋላ ደቀ መዝሙሩን። እናትህ እነኋት አለው። ከዚህም ሰዓት ጀምሮ ደቀ መዝሙሩ ወደ ቤቱ ወሰዳት።

²⁸After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

²⁸ከዚህ በኋላ ኢየሱስ አሁን ሁሉ እንደተፈጸመ አውቆ የመጽሐፉ ቃል ይፈጸም ዘንድ። ተጠማሁ አለ።

²⁹Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

²⁹በዚያም ሆምጣጤ የሞላበት ዕቃ ተቀምጦ ነበር፤ እነርሱም ሆምጣጤውን በሰፍነግ ሞልተው በሁሶፕም አድርገው ወደ አፉ አቀረቡለት።

³⁰When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

³⁰ኢየሱስም ሆምጣጤውን ከተቀበለ በኋላ። ተፈጸመ አለ፥ ራሱንም አዘንብሎ ነፍሱን አሳልፎ ሰጠ።

³¹The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³¹አይሁድም የማዘጋጀት ቀን ስለ ሆነ ያ ሰንበት ትልቅ ነበረና ሥጋቸው በሰንበት በመስቀል ላይ እንዳይኖር፥ ጭናቸውን ሰብረው እንዲያወርዱአቸው ጲላጦስን ለመኑት።

³²Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

³²ጭፍሮችም መጥተው የፊተኛውን ጭን ከእርሱም ጋር የተሰቀለውን የሌላውን ጭን ሰበሩ፤

³³But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

³³ወደ ኢየሱስ በመጡ ጊዜ ግን እርሱ ፈጽሞ እንደ ሞተ አይተው ጭኑን አልሰበሩም፤

³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

³⁴ነገር ግን ከጭፍሮች አንዱ ጎኑን በጦር ወጋው፤ ወዲያውም ደምና ውኃ ወጣ።

³⁵And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

³⁵ያየውም መስክሮአል፤ ምስክሩም እውነት ነው፤ እናንተም ደግሞ ታምኑ ዘንድ እርሱ እውነት እንዲናገር ያውቃል።

³⁶For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

³⁶ይህ የሆነ። ከእርሱ አጥንት አይሰበርም የሚል የመጽሐፉ ቃል እንዲፈጸም ነው።

³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁷ደግሞም ሌላው መጽሐፍ። የወጉትን ያዩታል ይላል።

³⁸And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

³⁸ከዚህም በኋላ አይሁድን ስለ ፈራ በስውር የኢየሱስ ደቀ መዝሙር የነበረ የአርማትያስ ዮሴፍ የኢየሱስን ሥጋ ሊወስድ ጲላጦስን ለመነ፤ ጲላጦስም ፈቀደለት። ስለዚህም መጥቶ የኢየሱስን ሥጋ ወሰደ።

³⁹And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

³⁹ደግሞም አስቀድሞ በሌሊት ወደ ኢየሱስ መጥቶ የነበረ ኒቆዲሞስ መቶ ንጥር የሚያህል የከርቤና የእሬት ቅልቅል ይዞ መጣ።

⁴⁰Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

⁴⁰የኢየሱስንም ሥጋ ወስደው እንደ አይሁድ አገናነዝ ልማድ ከሽቱ ጋር በተልባ እግር ልብስ ከፈኑት።

⁴¹Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

⁴¹በተሰቀለበትም ስፍራ አትክልት ነበረ፥ በአትክልቱም ማንም ገና ያልተቀበረበት አዲስ መቃብር ነበረ።

⁴²There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

⁴²ስለዚህ መቃብሩ ቅርብ ነበረና ስለ አይሁድ ማዘጋጀት ቀን ኢየሱስን በዚያ አኖሩት።
