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

¹And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate.

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

²And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.

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

³And the chief priests accused him urgently.

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

⁴And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.

⁵ኢየሱስም ከዚያ በኋላ ጲላጦስ እስኪደነቅ ድረስ ምንም አልመለሰም።

⁵But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.

⁶በዚያም በዓል የለመኑትን አንድ እስረኛ ይፈታላቸው ነበር።

⁶But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].

⁷በዓመፅም ነፍስ ከገደሉት ከዓመፀኞች ጋር የታሰረ በርባን የተባለ ነበረ።

⁷Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection.

⁸ሕዝቡም ወጥተው እንደ ልማዱ ያደርግላቸው ዘንድ እየጮኹ ይለምኑት ጀመር።

⁸And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done.

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

⁹But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?

¹⁰የካህናት አለቆች በቅንዓት አሳልፈው እንደ ሰጡት ያውቅ ነበርና።

¹⁰for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.

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

¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

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

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

¹³እነርሱም ዳግመኛ። ስቀለው እያሉ ጮኹ።

¹³And they cried out again, Crucify him.

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

¹⁴And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.

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

¹⁵And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.

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

¹⁶And the soldiers led him away into the court which is [called the] praetorium, and they call together the whole band.

¹⁷ቀይ ልብስም አለበሱት፥ የእሾህ አክሊልም ጎንጉነው ደፉበት፤

¹⁷And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.

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

¹⁸And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

¹⁹ራሱንም በመቃ መቱት ተፉበትም፥ ተንበርክከውም ሰገዱለት።

¹⁹And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.

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

²⁰And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.

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

²¹And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.

²²ትርጓሜውም የራስ ቅል ስፍራ ወደሚሆን ጎልጎታ ወደተባለ ስፍራ ወሰዱት።

²²And they bring him to the place [called] Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.

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

²³And they offered him wine [to drink] medicated with myrrh; but he did not take [it].

²⁴ሰቀሉትም፥ ልብሱንም ማን ማን እንዲወስድ ዕጣ ተጣጥለው ተካፈሉ።

²⁴And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots on them, what each one should take.

²⁵በሰቀሉትም ጊዜ ሦስት ሰዓት ነበረ።

²⁵And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

²⁶የክሱ ጽሕፈትም። የአይሁድ ንጉሥ የሚል ተጽፎ ነበር።

²⁶And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.

²⁷ከእርሱም ጋር ሁለት ወንበዶች አንዱን በቀኙ አንዱንም በግራው ሰቀሉ።

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

²⁸መጽሐፍም። ከአመፀኞች ጋር ተቆጠረ ያለው ተፈጸመ።

²⁸[And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.]

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

²⁹And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,

³⁰ከመስቀል ወርደህ ራስህን አድን አሉ።

³⁰save thyself, and descend from the cross.

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

³¹In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

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

³²Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

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

³³And when [the] sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;

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

³⁴and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, [saying], Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

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

³⁵And some of those who stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, he calls for Elias.

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

³⁶And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.

³⁷ኢየሱስም በታላቅ ድምፅ ጮኸ ነፍሱንም ሰጠ።

³⁷And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired.

³⁸የቤተ መቅደስም መጋረጃ ከላይ እስከ ታች ከሁለት ተቀደደ።

³⁸And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

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

³⁹And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.

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።

⁴⁰And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

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

⁴¹who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem.

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

⁴²And when it was already evening, since it was [the] preparation, that is, [the day] before a sabbath,

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

⁴³Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.

⁴⁵ከመቶ አለቃውም ተረድቶ በድኑን ለዮሴፍ ሰጠው።

⁴⁴And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to [him] the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.

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

⁴⁵And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁷መግደላዊትም ማርያም የዮሳም እናት ማርያም ወዴት እንዳኖሩት ይመለከቱ ነበር።

⁴⁶And having bought fine linen, [and] having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

⁴⁷And Mary of Magdala and Mary the [mother] of Joses saw where he was put.
