¹ Waato kaŋ mo bo, alfaga beerey da arkusey da asariya dondonandikoy da Yahudancey arkusey marga kulu saaware. I na Yesu haw ka kond'a k'a no Bilatos* se.

¹Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

² Bilatos mo n'a hã ka ne: «Ni ya Yahudancey bonkoono no?» A tu ka ne Bilatos se: «Mate kaŋ ni ci no.»

²Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”

³ Alfaga beerey kand'a kalima nda hari boobo.

³The chief priests accused him of many things.

⁴ Bilatos ye k'a hã ka ne: «Ni si tu da hay kulu no? Guna hari boobo kaŋ i goono ga ni kalima nd'a.»

⁴Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”

⁵ Amma Yesu mana tonton ka tu da hay kulu, kala Bilatos dambara.

⁵But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

⁶ Paska* batu kulu gaa Bilatos doona ka kas'ize fo taŋ i se, nga din kaŋ borey ga ŋwaaray a gaa.

⁶Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

⁷ Boro fo go no kaŋ se i ga ne Barabbas, kaŋ i n'a haw borey kaŋ murte banda, murteyaŋo ra mo i na boro fooyaŋ wi.

⁷There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

⁸ Borey marga koy Bilatos do ka soobay k'a ŋwaaray a ma te mate kaŋ cine a doona ka te i se.

⁸The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

⁹ Bilatos tu i se ka ne: «Araŋ ga ba ay ma Yahudancey bonkoono taŋ araŋ se, wala?»

⁹Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

¹⁰ Zama a bay kaŋ canse sabbay se no alfaga beerey na Yesu nooyandi.

¹⁰For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

¹¹ Amma alfaga beerey na borey marga zukku hal i ma ne a ma Barabbas taŋ ngey se.

¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

¹² Bilatos ye ka tu ka ne i se koyne: «Day, ifo no ay ga te da boro kaŋ se araŋ ga ne Yahudancey bonkoono?»

¹²Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”

¹³ I kuuwa koyne ka ne: «A kanji*!»

¹³They cried out again, “Crucify him!”

¹⁴ Bilatos ne i se: «Ifo se? Hari laalo woofo no a te?» Amma i kaati ka tonton ka ne: «A kanji!»

¹⁴Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”

¹⁵ Za kaŋ Bilatos ga ba nga ma te haŋ kaŋ ga kaanu marga borey se, kal a na Barabbas taŋ i se ka Yesu barzu k'a no i m'a kanji.

¹⁵Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶ Romey soojey jama konda Yesu faada ra, nango kaŋ se i ga ne Preytoriyum, _sanda dabarikoono windi nooya_. I na soojey jama ce ka margu.

¹⁶The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

¹⁷ I na kwaay ciray daŋ Yesu gaa ka karji boŋtobay handam ka dake a boŋo boŋ.

¹⁷They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

¹⁸ I soobay k'a fo ka ne: «Fofo, Yahudancey bonkoono!»

¹⁸They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

¹⁹ I n'a kar boŋo ra nda kwaari ka tuf'a gaa. I soobay ka sumbal ka sombu a jine.

¹⁹They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

²⁰ Waato kaŋ i n'a hahaara ka ban, i na kwaay mono kaa a gaa k'a bankaara daŋ a gaa. I kond'a zama ngey m'a kanji se.

²⁰When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

²¹ Fonda ra i kubanda Kayrawa kwaara boro fo kaŋ maa Siman, Iskandari nda Rufus baaba no. A goono ga fun saajo ra. I n'a tilasandi a ma koy ngey banda ka Yesu kanjiyaŋ bundo jare.

²¹They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

²² I kande Yesu nangu fo kaŋ se i ga ne Golgota, sanda a feerijo ga ti Boŋ Kurubu Nangu nooya.

²²They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”

²³ I n'a no duvan* margante nda zawul* safari. Amma Yesu man'a ta.

²³They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

²⁴ I n'a kanji k'a bankaarayey fay-fay kurne catuyaŋ boŋ ka di haŋ kaŋ boro kulu ga du.

²⁴Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

²⁵It was the third hour, 9:00 A. M. and they crucified him.

²⁶ A kalima kaŋ i hantum ka daŋ beene neeya: YAHUDANCEY BONKOONO.

²⁶The superscription of his accusation was written over him, “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

²⁷ I na komko hinka kanji Yesu banda mo, afa a kambe ŋwaaro gaa, afa mo a kambe wow gaa.

²⁷With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

²⁸ Yaadin no i na annabitaray toonandi nd'a kaŋ ne: «I n'a lasaabu taali-teerey banda.»

²⁸The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, “He was numbered with transgressors.” NU omits verse 28.

²⁹ Borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga bisa n'a kayna, ka ngey boŋey zinji ka ne: «Ahãa, nin kaŋ ga Irikoy fuwo zeeri ka ye k'a cina jirbi hinza nda care game ra!

²⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

³⁰ Ma ni boŋ faaba me, ka zumbu kanjiyaŋ bundo wo gaa!»

³⁰save yourself, and come down from the cross!”

³¹ Yaadin mo no alfaga beerey da asariya dondonandikoy goono g'a hahaara ngey game ra ka ne: «A na boro fooyaŋ faaba, amma a si hin ka nga boŋ faaba.

³¹Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.

³² Wa naŋ Almasihu, Israyla Bonkoono ma zumbu me kanjiyaŋ bundo gaa sohõ, hal iri ma di ka cimandi.» Borey kaŋ yaŋ i kanji a banda n'a jance mo.

³²Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him. TR omits “him” ” Those who were crucified with him insulted him.

³³ Waato kaŋ zaari guuru way cindi hinka to, kubay na laabu kulu daabu hala wiciri kambu guuru hinza.

³³When the sixth hour or, noon had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 3:00 PM

³⁴ Waato kaŋ guuru hinza to, Yesu ce nda jinde beeri ka ne: «Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani!» (sanda a feerijo ga ti: «Ya ay Irikoyo, ay Irikoyo, ifo se no ni n'ay furu?»)

³⁴At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

³⁵ I ra boro fooyaŋ kaŋ goono ga kay noodin, waato kaŋ i maa woodin, i ne: «Wa maa, Iliya no a goono ga ce.»

³⁵Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”

³⁶ Boro fo mo zuru ka koy ka zaara-zaara fo toonandi nda hari mooro k'a dake kwaari boŋ k'a no Yesu se a ma haŋ. A ne: «Wa naŋ, iri ma di hal Iliya ga kaa k'a zumandi.»

³⁶One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”

³⁹ Waato kaŋ sooje jine funa kaŋ goono ga kay Yesu jine di mate kaŋ Yesu na nga fundo taŋ d'a, a ne: «Haciika, boro wo Irikoy Ize no.»

³⁹When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

⁴⁰ Wayboro fooyaŋ mo goono ga fonnay hala nangu mooro. I ra Maryama Magdaliya bora go no, da Maryama, Yakuba kayne da Yosi nya, da Salome mo.

⁴⁰There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴³Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

⁴⁴ Bilatos mo goono ga dambara hala Yesu bu wala a mana bu jina. A na sooje jine funa ce k'a hã hala a gay da buuyaŋ.

⁴⁴Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

⁴⁵ Waato kaŋ a maa baaru sooje jine funa do, a yadda Yusufu se a ma Yesu gaahamo sambu.

⁴⁵When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶ Nga mo na lin* koko fo day ka Yesu zumandi k'a sutura ka daŋ saaray fo ra kaŋ i fansi tondi ra. A na tondi fo mo gunguray ka saara me daabu nd'a.

⁴⁶He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁴⁷ Maryama Magdaliya bora, da Maryama Yosi nya di nango kaŋ i n'a Yesu gaahamo jisi.

⁴⁷Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
