And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice and said: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which 41.15 thanë: perëndia im perëndia im përse më harrove? e ca qi rri njënë gjat nëgjaanë e thanë se Ilinë thërret. vote një means: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And some of those standing near heard this and said that he was calling Elijah.

And Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed his last. And below, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. A centurion, who was standing by, 42.10 dajtë se ky thiri e u përfrym, tha: vërtet ky [nj]jerë i biri i perëndisë është. ishinë nde gra cë largu shëkonjënë e i shte Maria Makdhalina e saw him cry out and breathe his last, [and] said: Surely this man is the Son of God.

Jesus went up at that time to Jerusalem. Which was in Jerusalem at a sheep pool, which in Hebrew 43.05 vreisht Vithesdha, pesë të çeluna kishte. mb'atë der gjeshinë shumë të sëmunë: të verbë, të çalë, të thatë, qi mernjënë aci uji. angje is called Bethesda. It had five porches. In these languished many sick people: the blind, the lame, the paralysed, who partook of the water. The angel 43.10 lli i perëndisë për vjetë zbrite mbë hurdhët e përzien te ujëtë, e e para qi bahej pa cë përziemit të ujit të shëdoshë baχishinë prej of the Lord from time to time would come down to the pool and stir up the waters, and the first one who bathed after the stirring up of the water would be cured of 43.15 gjithë të pafuqishit, si kurth s'kishinë qenë. qe një njeri all his diseases, as if they had never existed.

Then Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that they condemned him, and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders. I have sinned. And they said: How does it happen 44.10 gjet qi u frike, e shtive rgjandetë ndë kishë iku e vote e u vuar. e upesh këpinjtë muarrë rgjandetë e thanë: s'ë e drejtë t'i vemë [n]dë korvanat se është pahaj e gjakut. e u mbëlodh[ë] that you are afraid? And he threw the coins into the temple. He left and he went away and hanged himself. The chief priests took the coins and said: It is against the law to put this into the treasury since it is blood money. And they took counsel 44.15 në e vonë e blenë e vonë e blenë arë në e tjegulavet për të vorruam të huajtë e e quajnë atë arë njëme and went and bought the field of the pots to bury the foreigners, and they now call that field pages 45 - 46 Page 45 (Matthew 27:08-17)     ar e gjakut mjen sot. atëhere u mbush fjala e Jeremiut profitit qi tha: e muarrë L rgjandet, pahanë t'asaj paha për pahat të birtë Jisrai the Field of Blood to this very day. Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled who said: They took 30 silver coins, the price set on him by the sons of Israel 45.05 lit e i dhanë ata më arëtë të tej gulaxhivet si porositi Zoti. e Jisusi ndenj përpara iğemonit e e pueti atë iğemoni i thoshte: ti je mbreti Iudheivet? e Isusi tha: and they used them [to buy] the potters' field, as the Lord commanded. And Jesus stood before the governor and the governor asked him, saying: Are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus said: 45.10 si thua. e nëgjyamë prej upeshkë pinjvet e pleqvet, nuku u për gjeq. atëhere i thotë ai Pilati: nuku nëgjon sa mbë tyj shpallnjë në? e nuku u përgjeq mb'ata asnjë As you say. And accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer. Then Pilate said to him: Don't you hear the testimony they are bringing against you? And he gave no word of reply. 45.15 vjalë. u mërye iğemoni fort. mbë gjithë ç'të kremt ju linte iğe moni ju shtëponte nga një rop kë do njënë. kishinë atëhereza një të lidhunë qi e quanjënë Varavan The governor was greatly amazed. At all the feasts, it was the governor's custom to release the prisoner they wished. There was then a prisoner whom they called Barabbas. 45.20 e ishinë mbëledhun [-------] and [when] they had gathered, ........

They all said to him: Crucify him. 46.05 ğemoni ju tha: qish të keq ka bam? e të tepërmitë thërrisnjin e thoshin: kryqzoje. pa Pilati se s'ka faj, po prej tjerëshit u ba. muar ujë e lau duartë përpara gjinvet The governor said to them: What evil has he done? And all the more they cried out, saying: Crucify him. Pilate saw that he bore no guilt, that it was given to him by others. He took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd 46.10 e tha: dam të jem prej gjakut të këci. të drejmi ju merie. e u për gjeq gjithë gjinja thanë: gjaku i atij mbë ne e më fëmi tona. atë hereza e shtëpuanë Varavanë and said: May I be innocent of this man's blood. You bear the responsibility. All the people answered saying: Let his blood be on us and on our children. Then they released Barabbas, 46.15 e Isunë ta mundojnë e e muarr[ë] ta kruqzonë. atëhereza tri mat e iğemonit e muarë Jisunë më gjyq e u mbëlodhë më të gjithë tri matë e i veshnë atij rrobe χlami and they flogged Jesus and took him to be crucified. Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus to trial, and all the soldiers gathered and put a scarlet robe on him 46.20 dhë të kuqe e i vunë kunorë prej and took a crown of pages 47 - 48 Page 47 (Matthew 27:29-35)   drize e ja vunë më krye të tij e kalamnë ndë dorë të tij të djathët e binjënë mbë gjunjë përpara tij e e qeshnjinë e i thoshinë: gazulo thorns and set it on his head, and [put] a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him and said: Hail, 47.05 u o mbret i Iudheivet. e e pshtu njënë e e muarrë kalamnë e i ra në kresë atij. e kur e luajtinë ja xveshnë χlamidhënë e i veshnë robet e tij. e e shpunë qi ta kru king of the Jews. And they spat on him and took the staff and struck him on the head. And when they finished playing, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. And they led him away 47.10 qzonjënë. e tye votë gjetnë nje ri Qirineon emënitë Simon. atë zunë qi të shpjerë kryqnë. e erdhë mbë ven qi i thonë Golgotha, qi e quajnë vendi kraniu. i dha to crucify him. As they were going, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon. They forced him to carry the cross. They came to a place called Golgotha, which means the Place of the Skull. They gave 47.15 në atij të pinjë uthul me tyme. nuku desh ta pinjë. tye kryqzu am i danë rrobet e tij, vunë kli ron qi të mbushetë fjal e profitit i danë rrobet e tij [--------] him vinegar with gall to drink. He refused to drink it. While crucifying him, they divided up his clothes, they cast lots that the word of the prophet be fulfilled: They divided his garments ............

Sitting down, they kept watch over him there. And they placed above his head this sign: This is the king of the 48.05 dheivet. atëhereza kryq zuanë me atë dy kysarë, një më të djathëtë e një më të magjëtë. e i vjerri përmys nimti atë. tha: ndë je ti ΧC, shtëpo vet'henë e ne. Jews. Then they crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left. And the criminal who hung there hurled insults at him. He said: If you are Christ, save yourself and us. 48.10 u përgjeq tjetëri e vdoi atë i tha: s'ke frikë perëndinë se u mkate? e na jemi të drejtë, të drejtinë e fijuemë e muarmë. ky asnjë faj s'ka bam. e i tha The other one replied and rebuked him, saying: Don't you fear God since you have sinned? And we are [punished] justly, we are getting what our deeds deserve. This man has done nothing wrong. And he said 48.15 Jisusit: ndiejmë, ZT, kur të veç më mbretënit tande. e i tha a tij: amin si të them, sot me mu të jesh ndë parrist. e ata qi sh to Jesus: Forgive me, Lord, when you come into your kingdom. And he said to him: Verily, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. And those who pages 49 - 50 Page 49 (Matthew 27:39-46)       konjënë e shanjënë i kërrusnjënjë krye të e i thoshinë: ti qi prish kishënë e për tri dit e ndërton shtëpo vet'henë. ndë je i biri perëndisë, zbrit prej passed by hurled insults at him and shook their heads and said: You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from 49.05 kryqjet. ashtu nde upeshkëpinj të e luanjinë me letërorët e pleq t e Farisetë thoshinë: tjerë i shtë pove e vet'henë s'munç ta shtëpoj sh. ti o mbreti Israilit qi je, zbri the cross. In the same way, the chief priests mocked him with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, and said: You saved others and cannot save yourself. Oh, you who are the king of Israel, come down 49.10 t prej kryqjet e të mbesonjëmë. shpre më perëndinë të të shtëponjë njëme ai ndë do, ai qi thua se i bi ri perëndisë jam. jo po ata nde po nde kusarëtë qi ishinë kryqzy from the cross and we will believe you. He trusts in God, let [God] rescue him now if he wants him, he who said I am the Son of God. In the same way, the robbers who were crucified 49.15 am me të e nimnjinë atë. prej gja shtë sahaç errëtë u ba më gjithë më gjithë dhet mjen më sahat t[ë] na ndë. më sahat të nandë thiri Jisu si me za të math e tha: i[li ili l]a with him also heaped insults on him. From the sixth hour darkness came over all, over all the land until the ninth hour. At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice and said: Eloi, Eloi, Page 50 (Matthew 27:46-54)     ma savaχthani, qi ë perëndi PRdi pëse më le. ca aty qi rri njën nëgjonjënë e thoshinë se Ilinë thërret ky. e vote një acish e muar lama sabachthani?, which means: God, God, why have you forsaken me? Some of those standing there heard [this] and said that he was calling Elijah. And one of them went and took 50.05 sygjer e mbushnë nd uthil e e vu në mbë kalam e i dhanë të pinjë. e tjerëtë thoshinë: lini të shofë më vjene Ilia ta shtëponjë. Isu si thiri pësëri me za të math e la a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a stick and gave it to him to drink. And the rest said: Leave him alone, let us see if Elijah comes to save him.
