¹ሁሉም በሞላው ተነሥተው ወደ ጲላጦስ ወሰዱትና።

¹And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.

²ይህ ሕዝባችንን ሲያጣምም ለቄሣርም ግብር እንዳይሰጥ ሲከለክል ደግሞም። እኔ ክርስቶስ ንጉሥ ነኝ ሲል አገኘነው ብለው ይከሱት ጀመር።

²And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.

³ጲላጦስም። አንተ የአይሁድ ንጉሥ ነህን? ብሎ ጠየቀው። እርሱም መልሶ። አንተ አልህ አለው።

³And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.

⁴ጲላጦስም ለካህናት አለቆችና ለሕዝቡ። በዚህ ሰው አንድ በደል ስንኳ አላገኘሁበትም አለ።

⁴And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.

⁵እነርሱ ግን አጽንተው። ከገሊላ ጀምሮ እስከዚህ ድረስ በይሁዳ ሁሉ እያስተማረ ሕዝቡን ያውካል አሉ።

⁵But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.

⁶ጲላጦስ ግን። ገሊላ ሲሉ በሰማ ጊዜ። የገሊላ ሰው ነውን? ብሎ ጠየቀ፤

⁶But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

⁷ከሄሮድስም ግዛት እንደ ሆነ ባወቀ ጊዜ ወደ ሄሮድስ ሰደደው፤ እርሱ ደግሞ በዚያ ጊዜ በኢየሩሳሌም ነበረና።

⁷And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.

⁸ሄሮድስም ኢየሱስን ባየው ጊዜ እጅግ ደስ አለው፤ ስለ እርሱ ስለ ሰማ ከብዙ ጊዜ ጀምሮ ሊያየው ይመኝ ነበርና፥ ምልክትም ሲያደርግ ሊያይ ተስፋ ያደርግ ነበር።

⁸Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹በብዙ ቃልም ጠየቀው፤ እርሱ ግን አንድ ስንኳ አልመለሰለትም።

⁹And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰የካህናት አለቆችና ጻፎችም አጽንተው ሲከሱት ቆመው ነበር።

¹⁰And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ሄሮድስም ከሠራዊቱ ጋር ናቀው ዘበተበትም፥ የጌጥ ልብስም አልብሶ ወደ ጲላጦስ መልሶ ሰደደው።

¹¹And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.

¹²ሄሮድስና ጲላጦስም በዚያን ቀን እርስ በርሳቸው ወዳጆች ሆኑ፥ ቀድሞ በመካከላቸው ጥል ነበረና።

¹²And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

¹³ጲላጦስም፥ የካህናትን አለቆችና መኳንንትን ሕዝቡንም በአንድነት ጠርቶ እንዲህ አላቸው።

¹³And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ሕዝቡን ያጣምማል ብላችሁ ይህን ሰው ወደ እኔ አመጣችሁት፤ እነሆም፥ በፊታችሁ መርምሬ ከምትከሱበት ነገር አንድ በደል ስንኳ በዚህ ሰው አላገኘሁበትም።

¹⁴and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁵ሄሮድስም ደግሞ ምንም አላገኘም፤ ወደ እኛ መልሶታልና፤ እነሆም፥ ለሞት የሚያደርሰው ምንም አላደረገም፤

¹⁵no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.

¹⁶እንግዲያስ ቀጥቼ እፈታዋለሁ። በበዓሉ አንድ ይፈታላቸው ዘንድ ግድ ነበረና።

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

¹⁸ሁላቸውም በአንድነት። ይህን አስወግድ፥ በርባንንም ፍታልን እያሉ ጮኹ፤

¹⁷[Now he must needs release unto them at the feast one prisoner.]

¹⁹እርሱም ሁከትን በከተማ አንሥቶ ሰውን ስለ ገደለ በወኅኒ ታስሮ ነበር።

¹⁸But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: --

²⁰ጲላጦስም ኢየሱስን ሊፈታ ወድዶ ዳግመኛ ተናገራቸው፤

¹⁹one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.

²¹ነገር ግን እነርሱ። ስቀለው ስቀለው እያሉ ይጮኹ ነበር።

²⁰And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;

²²ሦስተኛም። ምን ነው? ያደረገውስ ክፋት ምንድር ነው? ለሞት የሚያደርሰው በደል አላገኘሁበትም፤ ስለዚህ ቀጥቼ እፈታዋለሁ አላቸው።

²¹but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²³እነርሱ ግን እንዲሰቀል በታላቅ ድምፅ አጽንተው ለመኑት። የእነርሱ ጩኸትና የካህናት አለቆችም ቃል በረታ።

²²And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

²⁴ጲላጦስም ልመናቸው እንዲሆንላቸው ፈረደበት።

²³But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

²⁵ያንን የለመኑትንም፥ ስለ ሁከት ሰውንም ስለ መግደል በወኅኒ ታስሮ የነበረውን አስፈታላቸው፥ ኢየሱስን ግን ለፈቃዳቸው አሳልፎ ሰጠው።

²⁴And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.

²⁶በወሰዱትም ጊዜ ስምዖን የተባለ የቀሬናን ሰው ከገጠር ሲመጣ ይዘው ከኢየሱስ በኋላ መስቀሉን እንዲሸከም ጫኑበት።

²⁵And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁷ዋይ ዋይ ከሚሉና ሙሾ ከሚያወጡ ሴቶችና ከሕዝቡ እጅግ ብዙዎች ተከተሉት።

²⁶And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

²⁸ኢየሱስ ግን ወደ እነርሱ ዘወር ብሎ እንዲህ አለ። እናንተ የኢየሩሳሌም ልጆች፥ ለእኔስ አታልቅሱልኝ፤ ዳሩ ግን። መካኖችና ያልወለዱ ማኅፀኖች ያላጠቡ ጡቶችም ብፁዓን ናቸው የሚሉበት ጊዜ እነሆ ይመጣልና ለራሳችሁና ለልጆቻችሁ አልቅሱ።

²⁷And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

³⁰በዚያን ጊዜ ተራራዎችን። በላያችን ውደቁ፥ ኮረብቶችንም። ሰውሩን ይሉ ዘንድ ይጀምራሉ፤

²⁸But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

³¹በእርጥብ እንጨት እንዲህ የሚያደርጉ ከሆኑ፥ በደረቀውስ እንዴት ይሆን?

²⁹For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

³²ሌሎችንም ሁለት ክፉ አድራጊዎች ደግሞ ከእርሱ ጋር ይገድሉ ዘንድ ወሰዱ።

³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

³³ቀራንዮም ወደሚባል ስፍራ በደረሱ ጊዜ፥ በዚያ እርሱን ክፉ አድራጊዎቹንም አንዱን በቀኝ ሁለተኛውንም በግራ ሰቀሉ።

³¹For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

³⁴ኢየሱስም። አባት ሆይ፥ የሚያደርጉትን አያውቁምና ይቅር በላቸው አለ። ልብሱንም ተካፍለው ዕጣ ተጣጣሉበት።

³²And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

³⁵ሕዝቡም ቆመው ይመለከቱ ነበር። መኳንንቱም ደግሞ። ሌሎችን አዳነ፤ እርሱ በእግዚአብሔር የተመረጠው ክርስቶስ ከሆነ፥ ራሱን ያድን እያሉ ያፌዙበት ነበር።

³³And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

³⁶ጭፍሮችም ደግሞ ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው ሆምጣጤም አምጥተው።

³⁴And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.

³⁷አንተስ የአሁድ ንጉሥ ከሆንህ፥ ራስህን አድን እያሉ ይዘብቱበት ነበር።

³⁵And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.

³⁸ይህ የአይሁድ ንጉሥ ነው ተብሎ በግሪክና በሮማይስጥ በዕብራይስጥም ፊደል የተጻፈ ጽሕፈት ደግሞ በእርሱ ላይ ነበረ።

³⁶And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,

³⁹ከተሰቀሉት ከክፉ አድራጊዎቹም አንዱ። አንተስ ክርስቶስ አይደለህምን? ራስህንም እኛንም አድን ብሎ ሰደበው።

³⁷and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.

⁴⁰ሁለተኛው ግን መልሶ። አንተ እንደዚህ ባለ ፍርድ ሳለህ እግዚአብሔርን ከቶ አትፈራውምን?

³⁸And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

⁴¹ስለ አደረግነውም የሚገባንን እንቀበላለንና በእኛስ እውነተኛ ፍርድ ነው፤ ይህ ግን ምንም ክፋት አላደረገም ብሎ ገሠጸው።

³⁹And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

⁴²ኢየሱስንም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ በመንግሥትህ በመጣህ ጊዜ አስበኝ አለው።

⁴⁰But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

⁴³ኢየሱስም። እውነት እልሃለሁ፥ ዛሬ ከእኔ ጋር በገነት ትሆናለህ አለው።

⁴¹And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

⁴⁴ስድስት ሰዓትም ያህል ነበረ፥ ጨለማም እስከ ዘጠኝ ሰዓት በምድር ሁሉ ላይ ሆነ፥ ፀሐይም ጨለመ፥

⁴²And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁴⁵የቤተ መቅደስም መጋረጃ ከመካከሉ ተቀደደ።

⁴³And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

⁴⁶ኢየሱስም በታላቅ ድምፅ ጮኾ። አባት ሆይ፥ ነፍሴን በእጅህ አደራ እሰጣለሁ አለ። ይህንም ብሎ ነፍሱን ሰጠ።

⁴⁴And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,

⁴⁷የመቶ አለቃውም የሆነውን ነገር ባየ ጊዜ። ይህ ሰው በእውነት ጻድቅ ነበረ ብሎ እግዚአብሔርን አከበረ።

⁴⁵the sun's light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

⁴⁸ይህንም ለማየት ተከማችተው የነበሩ ሕዝብ ሁሉ፥ የሆነውን ባዩ ጊዜ፥ ደረታቸውን እየደቁ ተመለሱ።

⁴⁶And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.

⁴⁹የሚያውቁቱ ግን ሁሉ ከገሊላ የተከተሉት ሴቶችም ይህን እያዩ በሩቅ ቆመው ነበር።

⁴⁷And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

⁵⁰እነሆም፥ በጎና ጻድቅ ሰው የሸንጎ አማካሪም የሆነ ዮሴፍ የሚባል ሰው ነበረ፤

⁴⁸And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.

⁵¹ይህም በምክራቸውና በሥራቸው አልተባበረም ነበር፤ አርማትያስም ከምትባል ከአይሁድ ከተማ ሆኖ እርሱ ደግሞ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት ይጠባበቅ ነበር።

⁴⁹And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.

⁵²ይኸውም ወደ ጲላጦስ ቀርቦ የኢየሱስን ሥጋ ለመነው፤

⁵⁰And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

⁵³አውርዶም በተልባ እግር ልብስ ከፈነው፥ ማንም ገና ባልተቀበረበት ከዓለትም በተወቀረ መቃብር አኖረው።

⁵¹(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), [a man] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:

⁵⁴የመዘጋጀት ቀንም ነበረ፤ ሰንበትም ሊጀምር ነበረ።

⁵²this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁵⁵ከገሊላም ከእርሱ ጋር የመጡት ሴቶች ተከትለው መቃብሩን ሥጋውንም እንዴት እንዳኖሩት አዩ።

⁵³And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.

⁵⁶ተመልሰውም ሽቱና ቅባት አዘጋጁ። በሰንበትም እንደ ትእዛዙ ዐረፉ።

⁵⁴And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

⁵⁵And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

⁵⁶And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
