¹So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

¹ Noonu Pilaat joxe ndigal, ñu dóor Yeesu ay yar.

²The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

² Xarekat ya ràbb kaalag dég, teg ko ci boppu Yeesu, solal ko mbubbum xarekat mu xonq curr.

³They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.

³ Ñu di ko jegeñsi, di ko pes, naan ko: «Nuyu nanu la, yaw buuru Yawut yi!»

⁴Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

⁴ Pilaat génnaat ne leen: «Gis ngeen, maa ngi leen koy indil ci biti, ngir ngeen xam ne, waa jii, gisuma ci moom genn tooñ.»

⁵Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”

⁵ Yeesu nag génn, tegoo mbubbum xarekat mu xonq mi ak kaalag dég gi. Pilaat it ne leen: «Waa jaa ngii!»

⁶When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”

⁶ Waaye bi ñu ko gisee, saraxalekat yu mag ya ak alkaati ya di yuuxoo naan: «Daaj ko ci bant! Daaj ko ci bant, ba mu dee!» Pilaat ne leen: «Jël-leen ko, yéen, daaj ko ci bant, ndaxte gisuma ci moom genn tooñ.»

⁷The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

⁷ Yawut yi tontu ko ne: «Am nanu aw yoon, te ci yoon woowu, war na dee ndaxte teg na boppam Doomu Yàlla.»

⁸When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

⁸ Bi Pilaat déggee wax jooju, dafa gën a tiit,

⁹He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

⁹ dugg ca taax ma, daldi ne Yeesu: «Foo jóge?» Waaye Yeesu tontuwu ko.

¹⁰Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?”

¹⁰ Pilaat ne ko: «Man ngay bañ a waxal? Xanaa xamuloo ne, am naa sañ-sañu bàyyi la, te am naa itam sañ-sañu daaj la ci bant?»

¹¹Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

¹¹ Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Amuloo benn sañ-sañ ci man su dul bi la Yàlla jox. Looloo tax ba ki ma jébbal ci say loxo am na bàkkaar, bi gën a réy.»

¹²At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

¹² Booba nag la Pilaat doon fexee bàyyi Yeesu. Waaye Yawut ya di yuuxoo naan: «Boo bàyyee kii, doo xaritu buur bi Sesaar. Nit ku teg boppam buur, noonub Sesaar la!»

¹³When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement,” but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”

¹³ Bi Pilaat déggee loolu, mu daldi génne Yeesu ca biti, dem toog ca jalub àttekaay ba, ca fu ñuy wax Bérabu doj ya. Ci làkku yawut ñu naan ko Gabata.

¹⁴Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. “the sixth hour” would have been 6:00 AM according to the Roman timekeeping system, or noon for the Jewish timekeeping system in use, then. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”

¹⁴ Ca bés ba ñuy waajal màggalu Jéggi ba la woon, ca weti digg-bëccëg. Pilaat ne Yawut ya: «Seen buur a ngii!»

¹⁵They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

¹⁵ Waaye ñuy yuuxoo naan: «Na dee! Na dee! Daaj ko ci bant!» Pilaat ne leen: «Ndax seen buur bi, dama koo war a daaj ci bant?» Saraxalekat yu mag ya ne ko: «Amunu benn buur bu dul Sesaar!»

¹⁶So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

¹⁶ Noonu Pilaat jébbal leen Yeesu, ngir ñu daaj ko ci bant. Bi leen ko Pilaat jébbalee, ñu jël ko, yóbbu.

¹⁷He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull,” which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha,”

¹⁷ Yeesu ci boppam gàddu bant ba, génn ngir dem ca fa ñuy wax Bérabu kaaŋu bopp; ñu koy wooye Golgota ci làkku yawut.

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸ Foofa la xarekat ya daaje Yeesu ca bant ba. Ci noonu it ñu daajaale ñaari nit ci wetam, mu nekk ca digg ba.

¹⁹Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

¹⁹ Pilaat santaane itam ñu bind, teg ko ca kaw bant, ba ñu ko daajoon. Mbind ma lii la wax: «Kii mooy Yeesum Nasaret, buuru Yawut yi.»

²⁰Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

²⁰ Mbind mooma, Yawut yu bare jàng nañu ko, ndaxte fa ñu daajoon Yeesu ca bant ba jege woon na dëkk ba, te mbind ma ci làkku yawut la woon, ci làkku waa Room ak ci gereg.

²¹The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, I am King of the Jews.’”

²¹ Noonu saraxalekat yu mag yu Yawut ya ne Pilaat: «Bul bind: “Buuru Yawut,” bindal rekk: “Kii moo ne mooy buuru Yawut yi.”»

²²Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

²² Pilaat tontu leen ne: «Xas naa koo bind, du deñ.»

²³Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²³ Xarekat ya, bi ñu daajee Yeesu ca bant ba, ba noppi dañoo jël ay yéreem, séddale ko ñeenti cér, ku nekk benn. Jël nañu it mbubbam bu ñu ràbb ca kaw ba ci suuf te amul benn ñaw.

²⁴Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots.” Psalm 22:18 Therefore the soldiers did these things.

²⁴ Xarekat ya di waxante naan: «Mbubb mi, bunu ko xotti, waaye nanu ko tegoo ay bant, ngir xam ku koy moom.» Noonu la Mbind mi waroon a ame, bi mu naan:«Séddoo nañu samay yére,tegoo ay bant sama mbubb.» Loolu nag la xarekat ya def.

²⁵But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁵ Ca wetu bant, ba ñu daajoon Yeesu, yaayam a nga fa taxawoon, moom ak doomu ndeyam ju jigéen, Maryaama jabari Këlópas, ak Maryaama mi dëkk Magdala.

²⁶Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son!”

²⁶ Bi Yeesu gisee yaayam taxaw ci wetu taalibe, bi mu bëggoon, mu ne ko: «Soxna si, sa doom a ngi,»

²⁷Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁷ neeti taalibe ba: «Sa yaay a ngi nii.» Booba la ko taalibe ba yóbbu këram, yor ko.

²⁸After this, Jesus, seeing NU, TR read “knowing” instead of “seeing” that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”

²⁸ Bi loolu wéyee gannaaw Yeesu xam na ne, lépp mat na léegi, mu ne nag, ngir amal Mbind mi: «Damaa mar.»

²⁹Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

²⁹ Amoon na foofa gutt bu fees ak bineegar. Noonu ñu jël sagar, tooyal ko ca, takk ko ci bantu garab gu ñuy wax isob, teg ko ci gémmiñu Yeesu.

³⁰When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

³⁰ Bi Yeesu muucoo bineegar bi, mu ne: «Lépp mat na!» Noonu mu sëgg, delloo ruuwam Yàlla.

³¹Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³¹ Keroog ba ñu dee waajal bésu noflaay ba la woon, te Yawut ya bëgguñu néew ya des ca bant ya, ndaxte bésu noflaay boobu fonkoon nañu ko lool. Ñu ñaan Pilaat, mu dammlu tànki ña ñu daajoon, te jële leen fa.

³²Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;

³² Noonu xarekat ya dem, damm tànki ku jëkk ka, teg ca ka ca des, ca ña ñu daajaale woon ak Yeesu.

³³but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

³³ Bi ñu agsee ci Yeesu, dammuñu ay tànkam, ndaxte gis nañu ne booba faatu na.

³⁴However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁴ Waaye kenn ca xarekat ya daldi jël xeej, jam ko ko ci wet, ca saa sa deret ak ndox di tuuru.

³⁵He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

³⁵ Kiy nettali mbir yooyu, da cee teg bëtam, te li muy wax dëgg la. Moom ci boppam xam na ne, li muy wax dëgg la, ngir yéen itam ngeen gëm,

³⁶For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.” Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20

³⁶ ndaxte loolu dafa xew ngir Mbind mi am: «Benn yaxam du damm.»

³⁷Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.” Zechariah 12:10

³⁷ Leneen it Mbind mi wax na ko: «Dinañu gis ki ñu jamoon.»

³⁸After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

³⁸ Gannaaw loolu Yuusufa mi dëkk Arimate ñaan Pilaat ngir yóbbu néewu Yeesu. Yuusufa taalibe Yeesu la woon ci lu kenn yégul, ndaxte dafa ragaloon Yawut ya. Pilaat may ko ko. Yuusufa daldi dem, yóbbu néewu Yeesu.

³⁹Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. 100 Roman pounds of 12 ounces each, or about 72 pounds, or 33 Kilograms.

³⁹ Nikodem itam ñëw, moom mi masoon a seeti Yeesu guddi. Mu indaale lu war a tollook fanweeri kiloy cuuraay lu ñu defare ndàbbi miir ak banti aloos.

⁴⁰So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

⁴⁰ Ñu jël néewu Yeesu, laxas ko ci càngaay, boole ko ak cuuraay li, ni ko Yawut yi tàmmoo def, bu ñuy waajal néew.

⁴¹Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

⁴¹ Tool a nga woon ca wetu bérab, ba ñu daajoon Yeesu, te ca tool booba amoon na fa bàmmeel bu ñu musul a suul kenn.

⁴²Then because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.

⁴² Ca bésu Waajal la woon, ba Yawut ya doon waajal bésu noflaay ba, te bàmmeel ba jege woon na. Foofa lañu denc Yeesu.
