Mako 15

¹Pakarepo mangwanani vaPirisita vakuru vakarangana navakuru navanyori namakurukota ose, vakasunga Jesu, vakaenda naye, vakamuisa kunaPirato.And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

²Pirato akamubvunza, akati: Ndiwe Mambo wavaJudha here? Akapindura, akati kwaari: Ndizvo zvamataura.And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

³VaPirisita vakuru vakaramba vachimupomera zvizhinji asi haana kuvapindura chinhu.And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

⁴Pirato akamubvunza zve akati: Haupinduri chinhu here? Chinzwa, vanokupomera, zvizhinji seiko!And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

⁵Asi Jesu haana kuzopindura chinhu, Pirato akashamiswa nazvo.But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

⁶Zvino pamutambo waisivasunungurira musungwa mumwe, wavanenge vaikumbira.Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

⁷Zvino kwakanga kunomumwe wainzi Barabhasi, wakanga asungwa pamwe chete navamwe vakanga vamutsa bope, vakavuraya vanhu pabope irero.And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

⁸Vanhu vazhinji vakakwira, vakatanga kukumbira kunaPirato kuti avaitire saizvozvo.And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

⁹Pirato akavapindura, akati: Munoda kuti ndikusunungurirei Mambo wavaJudha here?But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

¹⁰Nokuti wakanga achiziva kuti vaPirisita vakuru vakanga vamuisa kwaari negodo.For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

¹¹Zvino vaPirisita vakuru vakakurudzira vanhu vazhinji, kuti vakumbire kuti zvirinani avasunungurire Barabhasi.But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

¹²Pirato akapindura zve, akati kwavari: Ndichagoiteiko naiye, wamunoti ndiye Mambo wa vaJudha?And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

¹³Vakadanidzira zve, vachiti: Murovere pamuchinjikwa!And they cried out again, Crucify him.

¹⁴Pirato akati kwavari: Wakagotadzeiko? Vakanyanyisa kudanidzira vachiti: Murovere pamuchinjikwa!Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

¹⁵Zvino Pirato, nokuti wakanga achida kufadza vanhu vazhinji, akavasunungurira Bharabhasi, asi Jesu wakamurovesa, akamuisa kwavari kuti aroverwe pamuchinjikwa.And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶Zvino varwi vakamuisa mukati moruvazhe, imo muimba yomubati, vakavunganidza hondo yose;And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

¹⁷vakamupfekedza nguvo tsvuku, vakaruka korona yeminzwa, vakamudzika iyo.And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

¹⁸Vakatanga kumukwazisa, vachiti: Kwaziwai, Mambo wavaJudha!And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

¹⁹Vakamurova musoro norutsanga, vakamupfira mate, vakafugama namabvi, vakamunamata.And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

²⁰Vakati vamuseka, vakamubvisa nguvo tsvuku, ndokumupfekedza nguvo dzake, vakaenda naye kundomurovera pamuchinjikwa.And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

²¹Zvino vakamanikidza mumwe, wakanga achipfuvura achibva kuruwa, wainzi Simoni weKurini, baba vaArekesndro naRufo, kuti atakure muchnjikwa wake.And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

²²Vakamuisa kunzvimbo inonzi Gorogota, ndokuti nzvimbo yedehenya, kana zvichishandurwa.And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

²³Vakamupa waini, yakavhenganiswa nemura, asi iye wakazviramba.And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

²⁴Vakati vamurovera pamuchinjikwa,, vakagovana nguvo dzake, vachikanda mijenya pamusoro padzo, kuti mumwe nomumwe apiwe chake.And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

²⁵Yakanga iri nguva yechitatu, vakamurovera pamuchinjikwa.And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

²⁶Norugwaro rwemhosva yake rwakanga rwakanyorwa pamsoro pake, ruchiti: MAMBO WAVAJUDHA.And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁷Vakarovera pamuchinjikwa pamwe chete naye makororo maviri, mumwe kurudyi rwake, mumwe kuruboshwe. [And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

²⁸Rugwaro rukaitika, runoti: Wakarabwa pamwe chete navadariki vomurairo.]And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

²⁹Navaipfuvura vakamutuka, vachidzungudza misoro yavo, vachiti: Iwe, wokuputsa tembere, nokuivaka zve namazuva matatu,And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

³⁰chizviponesa iwe, uburuke pamuchinjikwa!Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

³¹Saizvozvo vaPirisita vakuru navanyori vakamuseka pakati pavo,vachiti: Wakaponesa vamwe, zvino haagoni kuzviponesa.Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

³²Kristu, Mambo wavaIsraeri, ngaaburuke zvino pamuchinjikwa, kuti tivone titende. Navakanga varoverwa pamwe chete naye vakamuzvidza.Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

³³Zvino yakatiyava nguva yechitanhatu, rima rikavapo panyika yose kusvikira panguva yepfumbamwe.And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

³⁴Nenguva yepfumbamwe Jesu akadana nenzwi guru, achiti: Eroi, Eroi, rama Sabaktani! Ndokuti, kana zvichishandurwa: Mwari wangu, Mwari wangu, mandisiyireiko?And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁵Vamwe vakanga vamirepo vakati vachizvinzwa, vakati: Chinzwai, unodana Eria.And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

³⁶Ipapo mumwe wakamhanya, akazadza chipanje nevhinega, akachiisa parutsanga, ndokumunwisa, achiti: Regai timboona kana Eria achizovuya kumuburusa.And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

³⁷Ipapo Jesu akadana nenzwi guru, akabudisa mweya wake.And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

³⁸Chidziro chetembere chikabvaruka napakati, kubva kumsoro kusvikira pasi.And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

³⁹Zvino mukuru wezana wakanga amirepo akatarisana naye, wakati achivona mutovo wokufa kwake, akati: Zvirokwazvo, munhu uyu wakanga ari Mwanakomana waMwari.And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

⁴⁰Navakadzi vakanga varipo, vakatarira vari kure; pakati pavo kwakanga kuna Maria Magdarene, naMaria mai vaJakobho muduku naJose, naSarome;There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴¹ndivo vaimutevera achi muGarirea vachimushandira, navamwe vakadzi vazhinji vakanga vakwira Jerusarema naye.(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

⁴²Zvino ava madeko, zvarakanga riri zuva rokugadzirira, ndokuti rinotangira sabata,And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

⁴³Josefa weArimatea, mumwe wamakurukota, munhu wakakudzwa iye amene wakanga achigarira vo vushe bwaMwari wakavuya akapinda nokutsunga kunaPirato, akakumbira mutumbu waJesu.Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴Pirato akashamiswa achinzwa kuti wakanga atofa; akadana mukuru wezana, akamubvunza kana akanguva afa.And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

⁴⁵Zvino wakati azvinzwa kumukuru wezana, akapa Josefa mutumbu.And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶Iye wakatenga mucheka, akamuburusa, akamuputira nomucheka, ndokumuviga mubwiro bwakanga bwakacherwa pabwe, ndokukungurusira ibwe pamuromo wobwiro.And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

⁴⁷Maria Magdarene, naMaria mai vaJose, vakavona paakavigwa.And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
