¹ Ci suba teel saraxalekat yu mag yépp ak njiiti xeet wa gise, ngir fexee reylu Yeesu.

¹Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

² Ñu yeew ko, yóbbu ko, jébbal ko Pilaat boroom réew ma.

²and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

³ Bi nga xamee ne Yudaa, mi woroon Yeesu, gis na ne, daan nañu ko, mu am naqaru xol. Mu dem nag ca saraxalekat yu mag ya ak njiit ya, delloo leen fanweeri poset yu xaalis,

³Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

⁴ ne leen: «Am naa bàkkaar ci li ma wor nit ku tooñul, ngir ñu rey ko.» Ñu tontu ko: «Lu ciy sunu yoon? Loolu yaa ko yég.»

⁴saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

⁵ Noonu Yudaa sànni xaalis ba ca kër Yàlla ga, jóge fa, dem, takk buum ci baatam, xaru.

⁵He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.

⁶ Saraxalekat yu mag ya nag fab xaalis ba, naan: «Jaaduwul nu def xaalis bii ci dencukaayu xaalis bi ci kër Yàlla gi, ndaxte njëgu deret la.»

⁶The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

⁷ Ñu daldi diisoo nag, jënd ca xaalis ba toolu defarkatu ndaa ya, ngir di fa suul doxandéem ya.

⁷They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.

⁸ Loolu moo tax ñu wooye tool booba ba tey Toolu deret.

⁸Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ Noonu la ñu waxoon jaarale ko ci yonent Yàlla Yeremi am, bi mu naan: «Fab nañu fanweeri poseti xaalis ya, mooy njëg gi bànni Israyil xayma woon ci nit ki;

⁹Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah some manuscripts omit “Jeremiah” the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

¹⁰ ñu joxe ko ngir toolu defarkatu ndaa ya, ni ma ko Boroom bi sante.»

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 32:6-9

¹¹ Gannaaw loolu Yeesu taxaw ca kanamu boroom réew ma, boroom réew ma laaj ko; «Ndax yaa di buuru Yawut yi?»

¹¹Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

¹² Yeesu tontu ko ne: «Wax nga ko,» waaye tontuwul dara ca la ko saraxalekat yu mag ya ak njiit ya jiiñ.

¹²When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Noonu Pilaat ne ko: «Xanaa dégguloo lépp li ñu la jiiñ?»

¹³Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹⁴ Waaye Yeesu tontuwu ko ci dara, ba tax boroom réew ma waaru lool.

¹⁴He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁵ Ca màggal gu nekk nag boroom réew ma daan na may mbooloo ma, ñu tànn kenn ca ña ñu tëjoon, mu daldi leen ko bàyyil.

¹⁵Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

¹⁶ Fekk booba amoon nañu ku ñu tëjoon, ku siiw te tudd Barabas.

¹⁶They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ Bi nga xamee ne daje nañu nag, Pilaat laaj leen: «Kan ngeen bëgg, ma bàyyi ko, Barabas walla Yeesu mi ñuy wax Kirist?»

¹⁷When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”

¹⁸ Ndaxte xamoon na ne, kiñaan rekk a taxoon, ñu jébbal ko ko.

¹⁸For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ Te it bi mu toogee sax ca jalu àttekaay ba, jabaram yónnee ci moom ne ko: «Bul dugg ci yëfi ku jub kooku, ndaxte tey gént naa ci moom te sonn naa ci lool.»

¹⁹While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ Waaye saraxalekat yu mag ya ak njiit ya xiir mbooloo ma, ñu laaj Barabas te reylu Yeesu.

²⁰Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹ Noonu boroom réew ma laaj leen: «Kan ci ñaar ñii ngeen bëgg, ma bàyyil leen ko?» Ñu tontu ko: «Barabas.»

²¹But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilaat ne leen: «Nan laay def nag Yeesu, mi tudd Kirist?» Ñépp tontu ko ne: «Daaj ko ci bant, ba mu dee!»

²²Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²³ Boroom réew ma ne leen: «Lu tax? Gan tooñ la def?» Waaye ñu daldi yuuxu bu gën a kawe naan: «Daaj ko ci bant!»

²³But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²⁴ Naka Pilaat xam ne, du ci man dara, fekk na sax yengu-yengu bi gën a am doole, mu daldi fab ndox, raxas ay loxoom ca kanamu mbooloo ma ne leen: «Set naa ci deretu ku jub kii; nu ngeen xam, defleen ko.»

²⁴So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁵ Ñépp tontu ko: «Na deretam dal ci sunu kaw ak sunu kaw njaboot.»

²⁵All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁶ Noonu Pilaat bàyyil leen Barabas, mu dóorlu Yeesu ay yar, jébbal ko, ngir ñu daaj ko ci bant.

²⁶Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁷ Bi ñu ko defee xarekati boroom réew ma fab Yeesu, yóbbu ko ci biir kër ga, ñu daldi woo mbooloom xarekat ya yépp ci moom.

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁸ Noonu ñu summi ko, solal ko mbubbum xarekat mu xonq curr.

²⁸They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁹ Ñu ràbb kaalag dég, teg ko ci boppam, teg bantu xat ci loxol ndeyjooram, sukk ci kanamam, di ko ñaawal ne ko: «Nuyu nanu la, yaw buuru Yawut yi!»

²⁹They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ Ba noppi ñu daldi tifli ci kawam, fab bantu xat ba, dóor ko ci boppam.

³⁰They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³¹ Bi ñu ko ñaawalee ba noppi, ñu summi mbubbum xarekat ma, solalaat ko ay yéreem, yóbbu ko, ngir daaj ko ci bant.

³¹When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² Bi nga xamee ne génn nañu, ñu daje ak nit ku dëkk Siren te tudd Simoŋ; ñu ga ko, ngir mu gàddu bant, ba ñu war a daaj Yeesu.

³²As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³³ Ñu ñëw nag fa ñuy wax Golgota, biy tekki «Bérabu kaaŋu bopp.»

³³They came to a place called “Golgotha,” that is to say, “The place of a skull.”

³⁴ Bi ñu fa eggee, ñu jox ko biiñ, ñu def ci lu wex. Waaye bi mu ko mosee, nanguwu koo naan.

³⁴They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ Noonu ñu daaj ko ca bant ba, ñu daldi séddoo ay yéreem, tegoo ko ay bant,

³⁵When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, TR adds “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: ‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;’” [see Psalm 22:18 and John 19:24]

³⁶ ba noppi toog fa, di ko wottu.

³⁶and they sat and watched him there.

³⁷ Te it ñu teg ci kaw boppam mbind, mu xamle lu tax ñu rey ko, mu ne: «Kii mooy Yeesu, buuru Yawut yi.»

³⁷They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸ Booba it ñu daajaale ak moom ñaari taskati réew ma, kenn ci ndeyjooram, ka ca des ci càmmooñam.

³⁸Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

³⁹ Ña fa doon romb di ko xas, di wëcc seen bopp ndax sib ko,

³⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ naan: «Yaw mi man a toj kër Yàlla ga, tabaxaat ko ci ñetti fan, musalal sa bopp; boo nekkee Doomu Yàlla, wàccal ci bant bi.»

⁴⁰and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ Saraxalekat yu mag ya ak xutbakat ya ak njiit ya it di ko ñaawal naan:

⁴¹Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, TR omits “the Pharisees” and the elders, said,

⁴² «Waa jii musal na ñeneen te mënul a musal boppam! Ndegam mooy buuru Israyil, na wàcc léegi ci bant bi, nu gëm ko.

⁴²“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ Gannaaw dénk na boppam Yàlla, kon na ko Yàlla musal, bu ko soppee, ndaxte nee na: “Maay Doomu Yàlla.”»

⁴³He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴ Taskati réew ma it, ya ñu daajaale ak moom, di ko xas noonule.

⁴⁴The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ La tàmbalee digg-bëccëg, ba ci tisbaar, réew mépp lëndëm.

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour noon there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 3:00 P. M.

⁴⁶ Noonu ci wetu ñetti waxtu Yeesu daldi wootee kàddu gu dëgër naan: «Eli, Eli, lema sabaktani?» liy tekki: «Sama Yàlla, sama Yàlla, lu tax nga dëddu ma?»

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima TR reads “lama” instead of “lima” sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

⁴⁷ Ñenn ña ca ña fa taxaw nag, bi ñu ko déggee, ñu ne: «Mu ngi woo yonent Yàlla Iliyas.»

⁴⁷Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁸ Ca saa sa kenn ci ñoom daw, jël aw sagar, capp ko ci bineegar, mu teg ko ci kaw bant, jox ko ko, mu muucu.

⁴⁸Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

⁴⁹ Waaye ña ca des ne: «Bàyyil, nu seet ba xam Iliyas dina ñëw, musal ko.»

⁴⁹The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰ Noonu Yeesu wootewaat ak kàddu gu dëgër, delloo ruuwam Yàlla.

⁵⁰Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ Ca saa sa ridob bérab bu sell ba ca kër Yàlla ga xar ñaar, li dale ci kaw ba ci suuf; suuf si yengu, doj yi toj, bàmmeel yi ubbiku,

⁵¹Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵² te ñu bare ci jëmmi nit ñu sell ñu dee, dekki.

⁵²The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵³ Te gannaaw ndekkitel Yeesu ñu génn ca bàmmeel ya, dugg ca dëkk bu sell ba, te feeñu ñu bare.

⁵³and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ Noonu njiitu xare bi ak ñi ànd ak moom di wottu Yeesu, bi ñu gisee suuf si yengu ak li xew, ñu daldi tiit lool ne: «Ci dëgg, kii Doomu Yàlla la.»

⁵⁴Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

⁵⁵ Amoon na fa it ay jigéen yu bare yu leen dand, di seetaan. Te ñoo jóge woon Galile, ànd ak Yeesu, di ko topptoo.

⁵⁵Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

⁵⁶ Xàmmi nañu ci: Maryaama mi dëkk Magdala, ndeyu Saag ak Yuusufa, ak ndeyu doomi Sebede ya.

⁵⁶Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ Ca ngoon amoon na taalibeb Yeesu mu ñëw, tudd Yuusufa te dëkk Arimate; ku bare alal la woon.

⁵⁷When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple came.

⁵⁸ Mu dem ca Pilaat, laaj ko néewu Yeesu. Pilaat santaane, ñu jox ko ko.

⁵⁸This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁹ Noonu Yuusufa fab jëmm ja, laxas ko ci càngaay lu set,

⁵⁹Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ dugal ko ca bàmmeel bu bees, ba mu yettaloon boppam ciw doj. Mu béraŋ doj wu mag ca buntu bàmmeel ba, dem.

⁶⁰and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ Fekk Maryaamam Magdala ak Maryaama ma ca des ñoo fa toogoon janook bàmmeel ba.

⁶¹Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶² Ba bët setee nag, ca bés ba topp bésu Waajal ba, saraxalekat yu mag ya ak Farisen ya dajaloo, jëm ci Pilaat.

⁶²Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶³ Ñu ne ko: «Boroom réew mi, fàttaliku nanu ne, naxkat booba waxoon na, bi muy dund naan: “Gannaaw ñetti fan dinaa dekki.”

⁶³saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁶⁴ Danoo bëggoon nag, nga santaane, ñu wottu bàmmeel ba, ba am ñetti fan, ngir bañ taalibeem ya ñëw, sàcc néew ba, tey yégle ne dekki na. Bu ko defee nax bu mujj boobu dina yées bu jëkk ba.»

⁶⁴Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

⁶⁵ Pilaat tontu leen: «Amleen, ay wottukat a ngi nii. Demleen wottuji ko, ni ngeen mane.»

⁶⁵Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

⁶⁶ Noonu ñu dem, tëj bàmmeel ba bu wóor, ñu tay ca doj wa màndarga, teg fa wottukat ya.

⁶⁶So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
