¹Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],

¹በዚያን ጊዜም ጲላጦስ ኢየሱስን ይዞ ገረፈው።

²and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

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

³and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;` and they were giving him slaps.

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

⁴Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;`

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

⁵Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!`

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

⁶When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;` Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him — ye, and crucify; 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 according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.`

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

⁸When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,

⁸ስለዚህ ጲላጦስ ይህን ነገር በሰማ ጊዜ እግጅ ፈራ፤

⁹and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?` and Jesus gave him no answer.

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

¹⁰Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?`

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

¹¹Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.`

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

¹²From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.`

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

¹³Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without — and he sat down upon the tribunal — to a place called, `Pavement,` and in 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 as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!`

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

¹⁵and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;` Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?` the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.`

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

¹⁶Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,

¹⁶ስለዚህ በዚያን ጊዜ እንዲሰቀል አሳልፎ ሰጣቸው።

¹⁷and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;

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

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

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

¹⁹And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;`

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

²⁰this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

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

²¹The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not — The king of the Jews, but that one 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።

²³The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven 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, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;` that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;` the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

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።

²⁵And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother`s sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

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

²⁶Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;`

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

²⁷afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;` and from that hour the disciple took her to 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 now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;`

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

²⁹a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth;

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

³⁰when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;` and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

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

³¹The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

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

³²The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

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

³³and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

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

³⁴but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

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

³⁵and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

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

³⁶For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;`

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

³⁷and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.`

³⁷ደግሞም ሌላው መጽሐፍ። የወጉትን ያዩታል ይላል።

³⁸And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea — being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews — ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away 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 Nicodemus also came — who came unto Jesus by night at the first — bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

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

⁴⁰They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

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

⁴¹and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

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

⁴²there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.

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