Luke 23
1 Indji ba wawu mba, ba lunji Yesu ye ni koshi Bilatus.
Then the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate.
2 Na lu ni nhanwu andi, ba ka toh asi kpa indji si ti meme na ni tonba ni timeme, ndu ba na kpanyime na nhan iban hi no Kaisar na, na ni yo tuma Almasihu, Ichu.”
And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he is Christ a King.
3 Bilatus Myen, Ahi wuyi Ichu Yahudawa? U Yesu kpanyime niwu, “Anaki wu tre.”
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.
4 U Bilatus hla ni Firistocin bi ninkon ba ni jubu indji ba, “Mi na vu ni lah tre riri me na.”
Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.
5 U ba luni tre, andi, “A kpa suron indji ni tie meme na ni hla tre ma ni Yahudiya, a so ma rji ni Galili ye ni wayi.”
But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.
6 Niwa Bilatus a woki ma, na miyen indji bi Galili'a wawu
Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
7 Wa ye toh ni mre ma andi a he ni zah (kalkashi) pkancin Hiridus, natru Yesu hi ni Hiridus, wa a he nitu ma Wurushelima ni vi bi ton ki.
And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.
8 Ni wa Hiridus a ku shishi ni wu u ngyiri shu niwu ni suron su se'a ni tu wa azi wau tu lalon mu ni sun toh wu. Wa a wo tre tuma, waa dede ni yoshishi ni sun toh iri kpii wa a ni tie bi so sissri wa a ni tie'a.
And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him.
9 Hiridus a miyen Yesu ni mi tre bi gbugbu, u Yesu na sa kpe riri ni wu na.
Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.
10 Firistocin bi ninkon ba ni biwa ba nhan, lunde kri, ni nha nu
The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.
11 Hiridus ni sojoji ma ba lu ni nhanu, nani whiyen ni wu, u ba sru nkulon bi ndindi ma niwu, na kma tru Yesu hi ni Bilatus.
And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate.
12 Ba Hiridus mba Bilatus ba tie kpan ni kpamba chachuki (ba na ta yo kpamba ni ko shishi).
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.
13 Bilatus yo Firistocin ni bi chu ni jubu ndji ba,
Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,
14 na hla ni bawu, wa hla ni bawu, bi ka nji igu yi ye na indji wa ani ton ndji timeme, bi yi me bi toh, mi, miye ni shishi, mina vu lahtre riri me na wa bi ki nhanwu na.
And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him:
15 Ba kpe, Hiridus me, ala ka tru kma ye ni tawu, bi toh, igu yi na tie ikpe wa ba wu'a na
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.
16 Ni tu ki mi gbi ton niwu ni kachuwo.
I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
17 Wa hi gbigbi ni Bilatus ndu chu indji u y'bi iri no ba ni Idin)
(For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)
18 Wawu mba wu ba lu tre vovome, ndu ba, “Nji gu mba hi, na nji Barabas grji!”
Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:
19 Barabas a guri wa ba yo ni mitra u lo ndji bi latra, nitu wa aka kpa suron tie meme ni bawu ni gbu na wu ndji.
Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.
20 Bilatus ala tre, asun ka Yesu chuwo.
Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.
21 Ba la tre vovome, ni, “Giciye wu, giciye wu.”
But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.
22 A hla ni bawu nkpu u tra, “Nitu ngye, a ngye yi indji yi tie wa a meme? Mi na toh kpe wa a tie wa bi wah bi wu'u ni tu ma na. Ni naki to bi kle nu'u yah, me ka'u chuwo.”
And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
23 Ba kri titu, na tre gbangban me, ndi ba sun ndu ba giciye wu, u tre mba ka mren Bilatus saran.
But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.
24 U Bilatus a kpanyime ni bawu ni kpi wa ba sun.
So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.
25 Wa ba miyen a nji grji ni bawu na no ba i wa ba yo ni tra u lo ndji'a nitu wa a kpa suron tie meme nda wu ndji, na no Yesu ni kpi wa son.
And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.
26 Ba nji hi, na zu vu guri inde ma Siman Bakurane, a rji ni gbu siye, u ba ban giciyen gran ni wu gba, ndu nji hu Yesu.
And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.
27 Chubu nji ni mba ba lo suron na ni yi nitu ma, na ni hu.
And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him.
28 Wa kma yaba, Yesu tre, “Bi mri mba Urushalima, na yi nitu mu na, bi ka yi ni tu-mbi ni mri-mbi.
But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children.
29 Bi toh, ivi ni ye wa ba tre, lulu a biwa ba son ni krju ni bi wa bana ngrji na, ni sisan wa bana mma na.”
For behold, the dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.
30 U ba fare tre ndu tita, “Ku chan ta, ni Igbulume, Bika kata.
Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.
31 Ba ni na tie kpi biyi u kunkron a ri he ni shushu, ahi ngeri ani tie u kunkro klu ye?
For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?
32 U ba nji indji hari biwa ba lah-tre, hi niwu baba Yesu.
And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.
33 Wa ba ka ri ni bubu wa ba yo, “kyukyu” niki ba ka kpan ba ni kunkron'a (giciye) ni bi y'bi hari, u ri ni wo kori, u ri ni ko ta.
And when they were come to the place, which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the euill doers: one at the right hand, and the other at the left.
34 Yesu tre “Itie, kpa wruhle ni bawu, don bana toh kpe wa ba tie na.” Ba lu ni ta chacha, na yaba inklon ga.
Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes.
35 Indji ba lu niya bi nji ndji (mulki) ba wa ba ye si tsawu andi, “A kpa bari chuwo. Dun kpa tuma chuwo ki, toh wawu yi hi Almasihu u Irji, wa ba chu'a.”
And the people stoode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He saued others: let him saue himselfe, if hee be that Christ, the Chosen of God.
36 Bi lokpa me ba tsawu, na wa niye, nda ni dren iman wa'a sa.
The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger,
37 Nani tre, “U ta hi chu Yahudawa, U ka kpa tume chuwo.”
And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.
38 U gban ri he niwu tu, “I wa yii a chu Yahudawa.”
And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES.
39 Iri ni mi bi y'bi hari ba wa ba kpan ba, a mre'u andi, “A na wuyi Almasihu na? ka tu me chuwo ni kita me.
And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.
40 U ri ma sah, wa ya losuron, “U na tie sissri Irji na, nitu wa ba wuta baba?
But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 U mbu ba tie tsra, ki kpa mbu nitu kpe wa ki tie, Igu yi ana tie kperi memema na.”
We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.
42 Nna la tre, “Yesu na kparisu ni me na, uta ri ni ko Itie me.”
And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.
43 Yesu hla ni wu, “Njanji tre misi hla niwu, luwa u he nime ni Firdausi.”
Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 U ba he niki ni krafi tanne, u bubu ka tie bwu kagon gbu'a wawu, hi ni krafi tiya.
And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.
45 U rji grji ka ku. U bre gontra tra u tre ni Irji a yar tie hari ni tsutsuma ye ni meme.
And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.
46 Ni yar yi ni lan gbangban me, Yesu tre, “Itie, mi ka Ruhu Mu no niwo me.” wa tre naki, na que.
And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost.
47 U Jirimia a toh kpi wa a tie, na gbire Irji san, “Gbigbi iguyi a hi indji ndindi.”
Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.
48 U Ijubu indji ba wawu, wa ba hu ba ye ndu ba ye toh ikpi wa a tie ni shishi mba, ba kma ni wru wo ni san mba.
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.
49 Bi wa ba toh wawu mba'wu, ni imba bi wa ba hu ba rji ni Galili, u ba ka kri ni gbugbanmu, na si ya kpe wa a si zren
And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.
50 U indji ri ba yowu Yusufu, ahi vren u majalisan ni ugbu na indji ndindi.
And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.
51 Wa na kpa nyime ni kpi wa ba tre ni kpi wa ba tie na, rji ni Arimatiya ni meme Yahudiya, i wa a si kben hi koh Irji.
Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God.
52 Igu ki, ahi ni Bilatus, na miyen wu a ndu ban ikpon Yesu no wawu.
He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,
53 Wa nji grji ye meme, na nyewu ni pri ndindi, na kayo ni mi bbe wa ba shime ni kpa tita, ni bubu wa ba na rju ndrjo toh na.
And tooke it downe, and wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.
54 Ivi ri ri ni vi, u Asabaci te whiwhre.
And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.
55 Ba imba biwa ba ye baba Yesu rji ni Galili, ba hu nda toh wrji wa ibbe'a a he nda toh ka ba yo nkpon ma'a.
And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd.
56 U ba kma hi, u ba wa inye u gban ni turare. U ba kusi ni ivi Asabaci, nidu.
And they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement.
