Johani 19

¹Zvino Pirato wakatora Jesu, akamurovesa.Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

²Varwi vakaruka korona yeminzwa, vakaiisa pamusoro wake, vakamupfekedza nguvo tsvuku.And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

³vakavuya kwaari, vachiti: Kwaziwai, Mambo wavaJudha! Vakamurova namavoko.And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

⁴Ipapo Pirato akabuda zve, akati kwavari: Tarirai, ndamubudisira kwamuri, muzive kuti handiwani mhosva kwaari.Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

⁵Jesu akabuda, akadzika korona yeminzwa, anenguvo tsvuku. Pirato akati kwavari: Tarirai munhu!Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

⁶Zvino vaPirisita vakuru navatariri vakati vachimuvona, vakadanidzira, vachiti: Roverai pamuchinjikwa, roverai pamuchinjikwa! Pirato akati kwavari: Chimutorai imi, mumuroverei pamuchinjikwa; nokuti ini handiwani mhosva kwaari.When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

⁷VaJudha vakamupindura, vakati: Isu tinomurairo, zvino nomurairo wedu unofanira kufa, nokuti wakazviita Mwanakomana waMwari.The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

⁸Zvino Pirato wakati anzwa shoko iri, akanyanya kutya.When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

⁹Akapinda zve mumba momubati, akati kuna Jesu Uri wepiko? Asi Jesu haana kumupindura.And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰Ipapo Pirato akati kwaari: Hautauri neni here? Hauzivi su kuti ndinesimba rokukusunungura, nesimba rokukurovera pamuchinjikwa?Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

¹¹Jesu akamupindura, akati: haungatongovi nesimba pamusoro pangu, kana usina kuripiwa richibva kumusoro' naizvozvo wakandiisa kwauri, unezvivi zvinokunda zvako.Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

¹²Zvino Pirato akatsvaka kumusunungura; asi vaJudha vakadanidzira, vachiti: Kana mukasunungura munhu uyu, hamuzi shamwari yaKesari; mumwe nomumwe, unozviita mambo, unoramba Kesari.And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

¹³Zvino Pirato wakati anzwa mashoko iwayo, akabudisa Jesu, akagara pachigaro chokutonga, panzvimbo yainzi Pakarongwa naMambwe, asi nechiHebheru Gabata.When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

¹⁴Zvino wakanga uri musi woKugadzirira paseka; yaiva nguva inenge yechitanhatu. Akati kuvaJudha: Tarirai Mambo wenyu!And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

¹⁵Ivo vakadanidzira, vachiti: Bvisai, bvisai, mumurovere pamuchinjikwa! Pirato akati kwavari: Ndorovera Mambo wenyu pamuchinjikwa here? VaPirisita vakuru vakapindura, vachiti: Hatinamambo, asi Kesari chete.But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁶Akamuisa kwavari, kuti aroverwe pamuchinjikwa. Zvino vakaenda naJesu;Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

¹⁷Akabuda akatakura muchinjikwa wake,akaenda kunzvimbo yainzi, Dehenya, nechiHebheru ichinzi Gorgota.And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

¹⁸pavakamurovera pamuchinjikwa, navamwe vaviri naye, mumwe kunorumwerutivi, mumwe kunorumwe rutivi, Jesu pakati.Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁹Pirato akanyora vo rugwaro, akaruisa pamuchinjikwa; kwakanga kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Jesu weNazareta, MambowavaJudha.And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁰Zvino vaJudha vazhinji vakarava rugwaro urwo; nokuti nzvimbo iyo pakanga pakaroverwa Jesu pamuchinjikwa, yaiva pedo neguta; rwakanyorwa nechiHebheru, nechiLatini, nechiGiriki.This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

²¹Ipapo vaPirisita vakuru vavaJudha vakati kuna Pirato: Musanyora muchiti: Mambo wavaJudha, asi kuti Iye wakati: Ndiri mambo wavaJudha.Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

²²Pirato akapindura, akati: Zvandanyora, ndanyora.Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²³Zvino varwi vakati varovera Jesu pamuchinjikwa, vakatora nguvo dzake, vakaita migove mina, murwi mumwe nomumwe mugove wake; nenguvo yapasi vo. Zvino nguvo iyi yakanga isina pakasonwa, asi yakanga yakarukwa yose kubva kumsoro kwayo.Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²⁴Zvino vakataurirana, vachiti: Ngatirege kuibvarura, asi tikande mijenya pamusoro payo, tivone kuti ichava yani; kuti Rugwaro ruitike, runoti: Vakagovana nguvo dzangu pakati pavo. Vakakanda mijenya pamusoro pechokufuka changu. Ndizvo zvakaitwa navarwi.They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

²⁵Zvino pamuchinjikwa waJesu pakanga pamire mai vake, nomunin’ina wamai vake, Maria, mukadzi waKropasi, naMaria Magadarene.Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶Zvino Jesu wakati achivona mai vake, nomudzidzi waaida, amirepo, akati kunamai vake: Mai, tarirai, mwanakomana wenyu.When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

²⁷Ipapo akati kumudzidzi: Tarira mai vako. Kubva panguva iyo mudzidzi akavatora, akavaisa kumba kwake.Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁸Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu wakati achiziva kuti zvose zvapera, kuti Rugwaro ruitike, akati: Ndinenyota.After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

²⁹Pakanga pamirepo hari izere nevhinega; zvino vakaisa chipanje chizere nevhinega parutanda rwehisopi, vakaruisa kumuromo wake.Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

³⁰Zvino Jesu wakati agamuchira vhinega, akati: Zvapera! Akakotamisa musoro wake, akabudisa Mweya wake.When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

³¹Zvino zvawaiva musi woKugadzirira paseka, vaJudha vakakumbira kunaPirato kuti akumbo avo avhunwe, vabiswe, kuti mitumbu irege kugara pamuchinjikwa nesabata, nokuti zuva iro resabata raiva guru.The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³²Naizvozvo varwi vakavuya, vakavhuna makumbo owokutanga, noomumwe wakanga aroverwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe chete naye;Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

³³asi vakati vachisvika kunaJesu, vachivona kuti watofa hake, havana kuvhuna makumbo ake,But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

³⁴asi mumwe murwi wakabaya rutivi rwake nepfumo, pakarepo ropa nemvura zvikabuda.But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

³⁵Uyo wakavona, ndiye wakapupura, vuye kupupura kwake ndokwe zvokwadi; iye unoziva kuti unoreva zvirokwazvo, kuti nemi vo mutende.And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

³⁶Nokuti izvozvo zvakaitwa, kuti Rugwaro ruitike, runoti: Fupa rake haringavhunwi.For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

³⁷Norumwe Rugwaro zve runoti: Vachatarira uyo wavakabvovora.And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁸Shure kwaizvozvo Josefa weArimatia, waiva mudzidzi waJesu, asi pakavanda nokutya vaJudha, wakakumbira kuna Pirato kuti abvise mutumbu waJesu; Pirato akamutendera. Ipapo akavuya, akabvisa mutumbu waJesu.And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

³⁹NaNikodimo vo, iye wakambovuya kuna Jesu vusiku pakutanga, wakavuya anemura nearosi zvakavhenganiswa, mapaundi anenge zana.And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

⁴⁰Ipapo vakatora mutumbu waJesu, vakamuputira nemicheka pamwe chete nezvinonhuwira, sezvinoita vaJudha pakuviga kwavo.Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

⁴¹Panzvimbo iyo, paakaroverwapamuchinjikwa, pakanga panomunda; mumunda imomo maiva nebwiro bwutsva, makanga musina kumboiswa munhu.Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

⁴²Zvino vakaisa Jesuipapo,zvawakanga uri musiwo Kugadzirira kwavaJudha, (nokuti bwiro bwakanga bwuri pedo.)There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
