1Kwakati kwaedza, vapristi vakuru vose nevakuru vevanhu vakarangana kupikisa Jesu kuti vamuuraye.
1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2Vakati vamusunga vakamutungamidza ndokunomukumikidza kuna Pondiyo Pirato mutungamiriri.
2And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3Zvino Judhasi wakange amutengesa aona kuti wapiwa mhosva, ndokuzvidya moyo akadzosera makobiri esirivheri makumi matatu kuvapristi vakuru nevakuru,
3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4achiti: Ndatadza, ndatengesa ropa risina mhosva. Vakati: Zvinei nesu? Zvionere iwe.
4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
5Akakanda makobiri esirivheri mutembere, akabva akaenda akanozvisungirira.
5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6Vapristi vakuru vakatora makobiri esirivheri vakati: Hazvitenderwi kuaisa muchivigiro chezvipo, nekuti mutengo weropa.
6And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7Vakarangana, vakatenga nawo munda wemuumbi wehari, uve wekuviga vatorwa.
7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
8Naizvozvo munda uyo wakanzi munda weropa kusvikira nhasi.
8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9Zvino zvakazadziswa zvakarehwa naJeremiya muporofita achiti: Vakabva vatora makobiri esirivheri makumi matatu, mutengo waiye wakatarirwa mutengo, iye vana vaIsiraeri wavakatarira mutengo;
9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
10vakaaripira munda wemuumbi wehari, saIshe zvaakandiraira.
10And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
11Zvino Jesu wakamira pamberi pemutungamiriri. Mutungamiriri akamubvunza achiti: Iwe uri mambo wevaJudha here? Jesu akati kwaari: Wareva iwe.
11And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
12Asi wakati achipomerwa mhosva nevapristi vakuru nevakuru, haana kupindura chinhu.
12And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13Pirato ndokuti kwaari: Haunzwi kuti zvinhu zvingani zvinopikisa zvavanopupura pamusoro pako here?
13Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14Asi haana kumupindura kunyange neshoko rimwe chete, zvekuti mutungamiriri wakashamisika zvikuru.
14And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
15Zvino pamutambo mutungamiriri aiva netsika yekusunungurira chaunga musungwa umwe wavanenge vada.
15Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16Uye nenguva iyo vaiva nemusungwa chazezesa wainzi Bharabhasi.
16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17Naizvozvo vakati vaungana, Pirato akati kwavari: Ndeupi wamunoda kuti ndikusunungurirei? Bharabhasi kana Jesu unonzi Kristu?
17Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18Nekuti wakange achiziva kuti vakange vamukumikidza negodo.
18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19Zvino wakati agara pachigaro chekutonga, mukadzi wake akatumira kwaari, achiti: Usava nechokuita neuyo wakarurama, nekuti ndatambudzika zvinhu zvizhinji nhasi muchiroto pamusoro pake.
19When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20Asi vapristi vakuru nevakuru vakakumbirisa zvaunga kuti vakumbire Bharabhasi, vaparadze Jesu.
20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21Mutungamiriri akapindura akati kwavari: Ndeupi wevaviri wamunoda kuti ndikusunungurirei? Ivo vakati: Bharabhasi.
21The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22Pirato akati kwavari: Ko ndichagoitei Jesu unonzi Kristu? vose vakati kwaari: Ngaarovererwe pamuchinjikwa.
22Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23Zvino mutungamiriri akati: Nekuti wakaita chii chakaipa? Asi vakanyanya kudanidzira vachiti: Ngaarovererwe pamuchinjikwa!
23And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24Zvino Pirato wakati achiona kuti hazvibatsiri chinhu asi kutoti poita bongozozo, wakatora mvura akageza maoko pamberi pechaunga achiti: Handina mhosva neropa reuyu wakarurama; zvionerei imwi.
24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25Vanhu vose ndokupindura vakati: Ropa rake ngarive pamusoro pedu nepamusoro pevana vedu.
25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26Zvino akavasunungurira Bharabhasi, asi wakati arova Jesu netyava, akamukumikidza kuti arovererwe pamuchinjikwa.
26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27Zvino mauto emutungamiriri akaisa Jesu mumba memutungamiriri, hondo yose ikaunganira kwaari.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28Vakamukurura, vakamufukidza nguvo tsvuku,
28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29vakati varuka korona yemhinzwa, ndokupfekedza musoro wake, nerutsanga muruoko rwake rwerudyi. Vakafugama pamberi pake vakamusweveredza vachiti: Hekanhi, Mambo wevaJudha!
29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30Vakamupfira, ndokutora rutsanga vakamurova musoro.
30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31Vakati vamusweveredza, vakamukurura nguvo, vakamupfekedza nguvo dzake vakamuendesa kunoroverera pamuchinjikwa.
31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32Vakati vachibuda, vakawana munhu weKurini, wainzi Simoni. Iye vakamumanikidza kuti atakure muchinjikwa wake.
32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33Vakati vasvika panzvimbo inonzi Gorogota, ndiko kuti, Nzvimbo yedehenya,
33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34vakamupa vhiniga yakavhenganiswa nenduru kuti amwe; asi wakati aravira akasada kumwa.
34They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35Vakati vamuroverera pamuchinjikwa, vakagovana nguvo dzake vachikanda mujenya, kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa nemuporofita zvinoti: Vakagovana nguvo dzangu pakati pavo, vakakanda mujenya pamusoro pezvekufuka zvangu.
35And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36Uye vakagara pasi, vakamurindapo.
36And sitting down they watched him there;
37Vakaisa pamusoro pemusoro wake rugwaro rwemhosva yake rwakanyorwa kuti: UYU NDIJESU MAMBO WEVAJUDHA.
37And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38Ndokurovererwa pamuchinjikwa makororo maviri pamwe naye, umwe kuruoko rwerudyi, umwe kuruboshwe.
38Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39Vakange vachipfuura vakamunyomba, vachidzungudza misoro yavo,
39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40vachiti: Iwe unoputsa tembere nekuivaka nemazuva matatu, zviponese; kana uri Mwanakomana waMwari, buruka pamuchinjikwa.
40And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41Saizvozvowo vapristi vakuru vachisweveredza nevanyori nevakuru vachiti:
41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42Wakaponesa vamwe, iye haagoni kuzviponesa. Kana ari iye Mambo waIsraeri, ngaaburuke ikozvino pamuchinjikwa, tigomutenda.
42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43Waivimba naMwari; ngaachimusunungura ikozvino kana achimuda. Nekuti wakati: Ndiri Mwanakomana waMwari.
43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44Makororowo akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe naye, akamusveveredza saizvozvo.
44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45Zvino kubva paawa rechitanhatu kwakava nerima panyika yose kusvikira paawa repfumbamwe.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46Neawa rinenge repfumbamwe Jesu wakadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti: "Eri, Eri rama sabakitani?" Ndiko kuti: Mwari wangu, Mwari wangu, mandisiirei?
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47Vamwe vakange vamirepo pavakati vanzwa vakati: Uyo unodana Eria.
47Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48Pakarepo umwe wavo akamhanya, akatora chipanje, akazadza nevhiniga ndokuisa parutsanga, ndokumupa kuti amwe.
48And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49Asi vamwe vakati: Regai tione kana Eria achiuya kuzomuponesa.
49The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50Jesu ndokudanidzirazve nenzwi guru akapa mweya.
50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51Zvino tarira, vheiri retembere rakabvaruka kuita mapandi maviri, kubva kumusoro kusvikira pasi. Nyika ikadengenyeka, mabwe akatsemuka.
51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52Makuva akazarurwa; nemitumbi mizhinji yevatsvene vakange varere ikamutswa;
52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53vakati vabuda pamakuva shure kwekumuka kwake vakapinda muguta dzvene, vakaonekwa kuvazhinji.
53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54Zvino mukuru wezana nevaiva naye vakarinda Jesu vakati vachiona kudengenyeka kwenyika nezvinhu zvakaitika, vakatya zvikuru vachiti: Zvirokwazvo uyu wakange ari Mwanakomana waMwari.
54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
55Nevakadzi vazhinji vakange varipo, vakatarira vari kure, vakange vatevera Jesu vachibva Garirea vachimushandira.
55And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56Pakati pavo paiva naMaria Magidharini, naMaria mai vaJakobho naJose, namai vevanakomana vaZebhedhi.
56Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
57Zvino ava manheru kukasvika umwe mufumi achibva Arimatiya wainzi Josefa. Iyewo pachake waiva mudzidzi waJesu.
57When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
58Uyu wakaenda kuna Pirato akakumbira mutumbi waJesu. Ipapo Pirato akaraira kuti mutumbi aupiwe.
58He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59Josefa wakati atora mutumbi, akauputira nemucheka werineni wakachena.
59And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60Akauradzika muguva rake idzva, raakange achera muruware; akakungurusira ibwe guru pamukova weguva, akabva.
60And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
61Uye ipapo paiva naMaria Magidharini neumwe Maria, vagere pakatarisana neguva.
61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62Nezuva raitevera zuva raitevera rekugadzirira, vapristi vakuru nevaFarisi vakaungana kuna Pirato,
62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63vachiti: Ishe tinorangarira kuti munyepedzeri uyu wakati achiri mupenyu: Mushure memazuva matatu ndichamuka.
63Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
64Naizvozvo rairai kuti guva richengetwe kusvikira zuva retatu; zvimwe vadzidzi vake vangauya usiku vakamuba, vagoti kuvanhu: Wakamuka kuvakafa; kurashika kwekupedzisira kukazonyanyisa pane kwekutanga.
64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
65Pirato akati kwavari: Mune varindi, endai murichengete sezvamunoziva.
65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
66Vakaenda, vakanochengeta guva, vakaisa mucherechedzo pabwe, vane varindi.
66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
