¹The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.

¹ሁሉም በሞላው ተነሥተው ወደ ጲላጦስ ወሰዱትና።

²They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

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

³Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

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

⁴Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

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

⁵But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

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

⁶But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

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

⁷When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

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

⁸Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

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

⁹He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

⁹በብዙ ቃልም ጠየቀው፤ እርሱ ግን አንድ ስንኳ አልመለሰለትም።

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

¹⁰የካህናት አለቆችና ጻፎችም አጽንተው ሲከሱት ቆመው ነበር።

¹¹Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

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

¹²Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

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

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

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

¹⁴and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

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

¹⁵Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

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

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

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

¹⁷Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

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

¹⁸But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

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

¹⁹one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ጲላጦስም ኢየሱስን ሊፈታ ወድዶ ዳግመኛ ተናገራቸው፤

²⁰Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

²¹ነገር ግን እነርሱ። ስቀለው ስቀለው እያሉ ይጮኹ ነበር።

²¹but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

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

²²He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

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

²³But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ጲላጦስም ልመናቸው እንዲሆንላቸው ፈረደበት።

²⁴Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

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

²⁵He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

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

²⁶When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus.

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

²⁷A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

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።

²⁸But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

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

²⁹ For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’

³¹በእርጥብ እንጨት እንዲህ የሚያደርጉ ከሆኑ፥ በደረቀውስ እንዴት ይሆን?

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’ Hosea 10:8

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

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

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

³²There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

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

³³When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

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

³⁴Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

³⁶ጭፍሮችም ደግሞ ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው ሆምጣጤም አምጥተው።

³⁵The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

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

³⁶The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

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

³⁷and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

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

³⁸An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

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

³⁹One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”

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

⁴⁰But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

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

⁴¹And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

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

⁴²He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

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

⁴³Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

⁴⁵የቤተ መቅደስም መጋረጃ ከመካከሉ ተቀደደ።

⁴⁴It was now about the sixth hour Time was counted from sunrise, so the sixth hour was about noon. , and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 3:00 PM

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

⁴⁵The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

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

⁴⁶Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

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

⁴⁷When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”

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

⁴⁸All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

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

⁴⁹All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

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

⁵⁰Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

⁵²ይኸውም ወደ ጲላጦስ ቀርቦ የኢየሱስን ሥጋ ለመነው፤

⁵¹(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:

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

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

⁵⁴የመዘጋጀት ቀንም ነበረ፤ ሰንበትም ሊጀምር ነበረ።

⁵³He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.

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

⁵⁴It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

⁵⁶ተመልሰውም ሽቱና ቅባት አዘጋጁ። በሰንበትም እንደ ትእዛዙ ዐረፉ።

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

⁵⁶They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
