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

¹ Kala i jama kulu tun ka kond'a Bilatos* jine.

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.”

² I sintin k'a kalima ka ne: «Iri na boro wo gar a goono g'iri borey darandi. A ga wangu i ma jangal bana Kaysar* se, ga ne nga ya Almasihu no, bonkooni fo.»

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

³ Bilatos n'a hã ka ne: «Ni ya Yahudancey bonkoono no?» A tu a se ka ne: «Mate kaŋ ni ci no.»

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

⁴ Bilatos ne alfaga beerey da borey marga se: «Ay mana di taali kulu bora din do.»

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

⁵ Amma i tonton k'a kankam ka ne: «A goono ga jama zukku ka dondonandiyaŋ te Yahudiya* kulu ra. A sintin za Galili* kal a kaa ne.»

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

⁶ Kaŋ Bilatos maa woodin, a hã hala bora din ya Galili boro no.

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

⁷ Kaŋ a bay Hirodus* koytara ra no a goro, kal a na Yesu samba Hirodus do, kaŋ nga mo go Urusalima jirbey din ra.

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.

⁸ Hirodus binde, kaŋ a di Yesu, a farhã gumo, zama za gayyaŋ a ga ba nga ma di a, zama a maa a baaru. A na beeje daŋ mo nga ma di a do alaama fo.

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

⁹ A soobay ka Yesu hã da sanni boobo, amma a mana tu a se da hay kulu.

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

¹⁰ Alfaga beerey da asariya dondonandikoy mo kay k'a kalima nda futay gumo.

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

¹¹ Hirodus da nga soojey mo na Yesu kayna k'a hahaara. I na bankaaray kaŋ ga nyaale daŋ a gaa ka ye k'a samba Bilatos do.

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

¹² Hano din hane mo no Hirodus da Bilatos te corotaray da care, zama za doŋ ibaretaray go i game ra.

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

¹³ Bilatos mo na alfaga beerey da jine borey da jama ce k'i margu.

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.

¹⁴ A ne i se: «Araŋ kand'ay se boro wo sanda boro kaŋ ga jama darandi. Guna mo, araŋ jine ay n'a hã ka gosi. Ay mana di taali hari kulu bora din gaa, hayey din ra kaŋ yaŋ araŋ goono g'a kalima nd'a.

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

¹⁵ Wala baa Hirodus mo, zama a n'a yeti iri do. Guna mo, a mana hay kulu te kaŋ to buuyaŋ.

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

¹⁶ Ay binde g'a barzu k'a taŋ.»

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

¹⁷ Zama tilas no a ma kas'ize fo taŋ i se bato*g* waate.

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

¹⁸ Amma i kulu na jinde sambu care banda ka kuuwa ka ne: «Ma boro wo wi, ka Barabbas taŋ iri se.»

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

¹⁹ (Barabbas wo boro fo no kaŋ i daŋ kaso ra murteyaŋ fo da boro-wiyaŋ kaŋ te kwaara ra sabbay se.)

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

²⁰ Za kaŋ a ga ba nga ma Yesu taŋ, Bilatos ye ka salaŋ i se.

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

²¹ Amma i soobay ka kuuwa ka ne: «A kanji*! A kanji!»

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.”

²² Sorro hinzanta Bilatos ne i se: «Ifo se? Hari laalo woofo no a te? Ay mana di buuyaŋ fondo a gaa. Ay g'a barzu k'a taŋ.»

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

²³ Amma i di ka kaati nda jinde beeri yaŋ, i goono g'a ŋwaaray da gaabi i m'a kanji. Hala i jindey du hini.

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

²⁴ Bilatos binde na ciiti dumbu ka ne i ma te haŋ kaŋ jama ŋwaaray.

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.

²⁵ Bora kaŋ i daŋ kaso ra murteyaŋ da boro-wiyaŋ se, kaŋ borey ŋwaaray, a n'a taŋ, amma a na Yesu no i miila boŋ.

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.

²⁶ Alwaato kaŋ i goono ga kond'a, i na boro fo di kaŋ maa Siman, Kayrawa kwaara boro no, kaŋ goono ga fun saajo ra. I na kanjiyaŋ bundo dak'a boŋ, a m'a jare Yesu banda.

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

²⁷ Borey marga bambata n'a gana, da wayboroyaŋ mo kaŋ goono ga hẽ ka baray a sabbay se.

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

²⁸ Amma Yesu bare i gaa ka ne: «Urusalima wayborey, araŋ ma si hẽ ay sabbay se, amma araŋ ma hẽ araŋ bumbey sabbay se, d'araŋ izey mo se.

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.’

²⁹ Zama guna, jirbey ga kaa kaŋ i ra i ga ne: ‹Albarkanteyaŋ no wayguney: gundey kaŋ mana hay ce fo, da mo fafey kaŋ i mana naanu ce fo.›

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

³⁰ Jirbey din ra i ga sintin ka ne tondi kuukey se: ‹Wa kaŋ iri boŋ!› I ma ne tudey mo se: ‹W'iri daabu!›

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

³¹ Zama nd'i goono ga hayey wo te tuuri tayo ra, to, ifo no i ga te ikoga ra?»

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

³² I na zambante hinka waani sambu mo, zama i m'i wi Yesu banda.

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.

³³ Waato kaŋ i to nango kaŋ se i ga ne Boŋ Kurubu, i na Yesu kanji* noodin, nga nda zambantey din, afo a kambe ŋwaaro gaa, afa mo a kambe wow gaa.

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

³⁴ Kala Yesu ne: «Baaba, m'i yaafa, zama i si bay hari kaŋ no i goono ga te.» I na kurne te Yesu bankaarayey boŋ k'i fay-fay ngey nda care game ra.

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!”

³⁵ Borey goono ga kay k'a fonnay. Bonkooney n'a hahaara ka ne: «A na boro fooyaŋ faaba. Da woone ya Irikoy wane Almasihu no, a suubananta mo, a ma nga boŋ faaba me.»

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

³⁶ Soojey mo n'a hahaara ka maan a gaa ka hari mooro salle a se.

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

³⁷ I ne: «Da nin no ga ti Yahudancey Bonkoono, ma ni boŋ faaba.»

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

³⁸ Hantum fo go a boŋo se beene kaŋ ne: BORO WOONE YA YAHUDANCEY BONKOONO NO.

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

³⁹ Afo zambantey kaŋ i kanji din game ra canda Yesu gaa ka ne: «Manti ni ya Almasihu no? To, ma ni boŋ faaba, d'iri mo.»

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

⁴⁰ Amma afa tu ka deen'a gaa ka ne: «Ni si humburu baa Irikoy, za kaŋ ni go ciiti fo ra a banda?

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

⁴¹ Iri se, sikka si a ga hagu, zama iri goono g'iri goyey alhakko ta soosay. Amma boro wo mana te hari kulu kaŋ mana saba.»

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

⁴² A ne mo: «Ya Yesu, da ni furo ni koytara ra, ma fongu ay gaa.»

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

⁴³ Nga mo ne a se: «Haciika ay ga ne ni se: hunkuna ni ga bara ay banda Paradiso* ra.»

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

⁴⁴ A to sohõ danga zaari guuru way cindi hinka cine. Kubay mo na laabo kulu daabu hala wiciri kambu guuru hinza.

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

⁴⁵ Wayna kaaro gaze, Irikoy* fuwo kosaray* taafa mo kottu ka fay ihinka bindo ra.

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

⁴⁶ Yesu ce nda jinde beeri ka ne: «Baaba, ni kambey ra no ay g'ay biya talfi!» Kaŋ a na woodin ci, a na nga fundo taŋ.

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

⁴⁷ Waato kaŋ sooje jine funa di hari kaŋ te, a na Irikoy beerandi ka ne: «Daahir no, boro wo ya boro adili no.»

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

⁴⁸ Borey marga kaŋ margu mo zama ngey ma woodin gomdo, waato kaŋ i di hari kaŋ te, i ye kwaara, i goono ga ngey gandey di _bine saray sabbay se|_.

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

⁴⁹ Yesu mo-ka-bayrayey kulu, da wayborey kaŋ n'a gana za Galili, i kay nangu mooro ka hayey din guna.

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

⁵⁰ Guna mo, boro fo go no kaŋ maa Yusufu, i diina marga arkusu fo no, boro hanno no, adilante mo.

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:

⁵¹ A mana yadda nd'i saawara nd'i te-goyey mo. Arimatiya kwaara boro no, kaŋ go Yahudiya laabo ra; a goono ga Irikoy koytara hangan.

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

⁵² Boro wo kaa Bilatos* do ka Yesu gaahamo ŋwaaray.

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.

⁵³ A n'a zumandi k'a didiji nda lin* kasance k'a jisi saaray fo ra kaŋ i fansi tondo ra, nangu fo kaŋ boro kulu mana kani baa ce fo.

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

⁵⁴ Bato soolayaŋ zaaro hane no, asibti zaaro mo ga ba ka furo.

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

⁵⁵ Wayborey kaŋ fun Galili Yesu banda mo gana banda ka di saara da mate kaŋ cine no i n'a gaahamo jisi nd'a.

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

⁵⁶ I ye fu ka yaaziyaŋ nda waddiyaŋ soola. Asibto* hane mo i fulanzam, mate kaŋ asariya* ci.
