¹And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered [him] to Pilate;

¹ወዲያውም ማለዳ የካህናት አለቆች ከሽማግሌዎችና ከጻፎች ከሸንጎውም ሁሉ ጋር ከተማከሩ በኋላ፥ ኢየሱስን አሳስረው ወሰዱትና ለጲላጦስ አሳልፈው ሰጡት።

²and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?` and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say [it].`

²ጲላጦስም። አንተ የአይሁድ ንጉሥ ነህን? ብሎ ጠየቀው። እርሱም። አንተ አልህ ብሎ መለሰለት።

³And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, [but he answered nothing.]

³የካህናት አለቆችም ብዙ ያሳጡት ነበር፤ እርሱ ግን ምንም አልመለሰም።

⁴And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!`

⁴ጲላጦስም ደግሞ። አንዳች አትመልስምን? እነሆ፥ በስንት ነገር ያሳጡሃል ብሎ ጠየቀው።

⁵and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

⁵ኢየሱስም ከዚያ በኋላ ጲላጦስ እስኪደነቅ ድረስ ምንም አልመለሰም።

⁶And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

⁶በዚያም በዓል የለመኑትን አንድ እስረኛ ይፈታላቸው ነበር።

⁷and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

⁷በዓመፅም ነፍስ ከገደሉት ከዓመፀኞች ጋር የታሰረ በርባን የተባለ ነበረ።

⁸And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

⁸ሕዝቡም ወጥተው እንደ ልማዱ ያደርግላቸው ዘንድ እየጮኹ ይለምኑት ጀመር።

⁹and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?`

⁹ጲላጦስም። የአይሁድን ንጉሥ እፈታላችሁ ዘንድ ትወዳላችሁን? ብሎ መለሰላቸው፤

¹⁰for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

¹⁰የካህናት አለቆች በቅንዓት አሳልፈው እንደ ሰጡት ያውቅ ነበርና።

¹¹and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

¹¹የካህናት አለቆች ግን በርባንን በእርሱ ፈንታ ይፈታላቸው ዘንድ ሕዝቡን አወኩአቸው።

¹²And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye [that] I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?`

¹²ጲላጦስም ዳግመኛ መልሶ። እንግዲህ የአይሁድ ንጉሥ የምትሉትን ምን ላደርገው ትወዳላችሁ? አላቸው።

¹³and they again cried out, `Crucify him.`

¹³እነርሱም ዳግመኛ። ስቀለው እያሉ ጮኹ።

¹⁴And Pilate said to them, `Why — what evil did he?` and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;`

¹⁴ጲላጦስም። ምን ነው? ያደረገው ክፋት ምንድር ነው? አላቸው። እነርሱ ግን። ስቀለው እያሉ ጩኸት አበዙ።

¹⁵and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus — having scourged [him] — that he might be crucified.

¹⁵ጲላጦስም የሕዝቡን ፈቃድ ሊያደርግ ወዶ በርባንን ፈታላቸው፥ ኢየሱስንም ገርፎ እንዲሰቀል አሳልፎ ሰጠ።

¹⁶And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

¹⁶ወታደሮችም ፕራይቶሪዮን ወደሚባል ግቢ ውስጥ ወሰዱት፥ ጭፍራውንም ሁሉ በአንድነት ጠሩ።

¹⁷and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put [it] on him,

¹⁷ቀይ ልብስም አለበሱት፥ የእሾህ አክሊልም ጎንጉነው ደፉበት፤

¹⁸and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.`

¹⁸የአይሁድ ንጉሥ ሆይ፥ ሰላም ለአንተ ይሁን እያሉ እጅ ይነሱት ጀመር፤

¹⁹And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

¹⁹ራሱንም በመቃ መቱት ተፉበትም፥ ተንበርክከውም ሰገዱለት።

²⁰and when they [had] mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

²⁰ከተዘባበቱበትም በኋላ ቀዩን ልብስ ገፈፉት፥ ልብሱንም አለበሱት፥ ሊሰቅሉትም ወሰዱት።

²¹And they impress a certain one passing by — Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus — that he may bear his cross,

²¹አንድ መንገድ አላፊም የአሌክስንድሮስና የሩፎስ አባት ስምዖን የተባለ የቀሬና ሰው ከገጠር ሲመጣ መስቀሉን ይሸከም ዘንድ አስገደዱት።

²²and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;`

²²ትርጓሜውም የራስ ቅል ስፍራ ወደሚሆን ጎልጎታ ወደተባለ ስፍራ ወሰዱት።

²³and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

²³ከርቤም የተቀላቀለበትን የወይን ጠጅ እንዲጠጣ ሰጡት፤ እርሱ ግን አልተቀበለም።

²⁴And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

²⁴ሰቀሉትም፥ ልብሱንም ማን ማን እንዲወስድ ዕጣ ተጣጥለው ተካፈሉ።

²⁵and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

²⁵በሰቀሉትም ጊዜ ሦስት ሰዓት ነበረ።

²⁶and the inscription of his accusation was written above — `The King of the Jews.`

²⁶የክሱ ጽሕፈትም። የአይሁድ ንጉሥ የሚል ተጽፎ ነበር።

²⁷And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

²⁷ከእርሱም ጋር ሁለት ወንበዶች አንዱን በቀኙ አንዱንም በግራው ሰቀሉ።

²⁸and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.`

²⁸መጽሐፍም። ከአመፀኞች ጋር ተቆጠረ ያለው ተፈጸመ።

²⁹And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

²⁹የሚያልፉትም ራሳቸውን እየነቀነቁ ይሰድቡት ነበርና። ዋ፥ ቤተ መቅደስን የምታፈርስ በሦስት ቀንም የምትሠራ፥

³⁰save thyself, and come down from the cross!`

³⁰ከመስቀል ወርደህ ራስህን አድን አሉ።

³¹And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

³¹እንዲሁም የካህናት አለቆች ደግሞ ከጻፎች ጋር እርስ በርሳቸው እየተዘባበቱ። ሌሎችን አዳነ፤ ራሱን ሊያድን አይችልም፤

³²The Christ! the king of Israel — let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;` and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

³²አይተን እናምን ዘንድ የእስራኤል ንጉሥ ክርስቶስ አሁን ከመስቀል ይውረድ አሉ። ከእርሱም ጋር የተሰቀሉት ይነቅፉት ነበር።

³³And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

³³ስድስት ሰዓትም በሆነ ጊዜ፥ እስከ ዘጠኝ ሰዓት በምድር ሁሉ ላይ ጨለማ ሆነ።

³⁴and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?` which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?`

³⁴በዘጠኝ ሰዓትም ኢየሱስ። ኤሎሄ፥ ኤሎሄ፥ ላማ ሰበቅታኒ? ብሎ በታላቅ ድምፅ ጮኸ፤ ትርጓሜውም አምላኬ፥ አምላኬ፥ ለምን ተውኸኝ? ማለት ነው።

³⁵And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;`

³⁵በዚያም ከቆሙት ሰዎች ሰምተው። እነሆ፥ ኤልያስን ይጠራል አሉ።

³⁶and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put [it] also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.`

³⁶አንዱም ሮጦ ሆምጣጤ በሰፍነግ ሞላ በመቃም አድርጎ። ተዉ፤ ኤልያስ ሊያወርደው ይመጣ እንደ ሆነ እንይ እያለ አጠጣው።

³⁷And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

³⁷ኢየሱስም በታላቅ ድምፅ ጮኸ ነፍሱንም ሰጠ።

³⁸and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

³⁸የቤተ መቅደስም መጋረጃ ከላይ እስከ ታች ከሁለት ተቀደደ።

³⁹and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.`

³⁹በዚያም በአንጻሩ የቆመ የመቶ አለቃ እንደዚህ ጮኾ ነፍሱን እንደ ሰጠ ባየ ጊዜ። ይህ ሰው በእውነት የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነበረ አለ።

⁴⁰And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

⁴⁰ሴቶችም ደግሞ በሩቅ ሆነው ይመለከቱ ነበር፤ ከእነርሱም በገሊላ ሳለ ይከተሉትና ያገለግሉት የነበሩ መግደላዊት ማርያም የታናሹ ያዕቆብና የዮሳም እናት ማርያም ሰሎሜም ነበሩ፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም የወጡ ሌሎች ብዙዎች ሴቶች ነበሩ።

⁴¹(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴²አሁንም በመሸ ጊዜ የሰንበት ዋዜማ የሆነ የማዘጋጀት ቀን ስለ ነበረ፥ የከበረ አማካሪ የሆነ የአርማትያስ ዮሴፍ መጣ፥

⁴²And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

⁴³እርሱም ደግሞ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ይጠባበቅ ነበር፤ ደፍሮም ወደ ጲላጦስ ገባና የኢየሱስን ሥጋ ለመነው።

⁴³Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ጲላጦስም አሁኑን እንዴት ሞተ ብሎ ተደነቀ፥ የመቶ አለቃውንም ጠርቶ ከሞተ ቆይቶአልን? ብሎ ጠየቀው፤

⁴⁴And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

⁴⁵ከመቶ አለቃውም ተረድቶ በድኑን ለዮሴፍ ሰጠው።

⁴⁵and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶በፍታም ገዝቶ አውርዶም በበፍታ ከፈነው ከዓለትም በተወቀረ መቃብር አኖረው፥ በመቃብሩ ደጃፍም ድንጋይ አንከባለለ።

⁴⁶And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,

⁴⁷መግደላዊትም ማርያም የዮሳም እናት ማርያም ወዴት እንዳኖሩት ይመለከቱ ነበር።

⁴⁷and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
