Luke 23
1 Indji ba wawu mba, ba lunji Yesu ye ni koshi Bilatus.
And the whole assembly of them arose, and brought him to Pilatos.
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 have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha.
3 Bilatus Myen, Ahi wuyi Ichu Yahudawa? U Yesu kpanyime niwu, “Anaki wu tre.”
But Pilatos asked him, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee? He saith to him, Thou hast said.
4 U Bilatus hla ni Firistocin bi ninkon ba ni jubu indji ba, “Mi na vu ni lah tre riri me na.”
And Pilatos said to the chief priests and to the assembly, I find no occasion against 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 cried out and said, He commoveth our people while he teacheth throughout all Jihud, beginning from Galila unto this place.
6 Niwa Bilatus a woki ma, na miyen indji bi Galili'a wawu
Pilatos, however, when he heard the name of Galila, asked if the man were a Galiloya.
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 knew that he was from the limit of the jurisdiction of Herodes, he sent him unto Herodes, because that in Urishlem he was in those days.
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 Herodes, when he saw Jeshu, was very glad; for he had desired to see him of a great time: for he had heard concerning him many things, and hoped that some sign he should see from him.
9 Hiridus a miyen Yesu ni mi tre bi gbugbu, u Yesu na sa kpe riri ni wu na.
And many words he asked him; but Jeshu gave him no answer whatever.
10 Firistocin bi ninkon ba ni biwa ba nhan, lunde kri, ni nha nu
And the chief priests and scribes stood and strenuously accused him.
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.
Then Herodes and his soldiers treated him as a fool; and when he had derided him, he dressed him in a robe of crimson, and sent him to Pilatos.
12 Ba Hiridus mba Bilatus ba tie kpan ni kpamba chachuki (ba na ta yo kpamba ni ko shishi).
And in that day Pilatos and Herodes were friends with each other; for before there had been enmity between them.
13 Bilatus yo Firistocin ni bi chu ni jubu ndji ba,
And Pilatos called the chief priests and the rulers of 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 said to them, You have brought to me this man as a perverter of your people; and, behold, I have examined him in your sight, and have found no cause in this man of all that you 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
nor also Herodes; for I sent him unto him, and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him:
16 Ni tu ki mi gbi ton niwu ni kachuwo.
I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.
17 Wa hi gbigbi ni Bilatus ndu chu indji u y'bi iri no ba ni Idin)
For a custom had he to release to them one at the festival.
18 Wawu mba wu ba lu tre vovome, ndu ba, “Nji gu mba hi, na nji Barabas grji!”
But all the multitude cried out, saying, Take this, and release to us Baraba;
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.
he who, for insurrection and murder which had been done in the city, had been thrown into the house of the chained.
20 Bilatus ala tre, asun ka Yesu chuwo.
But Pilatos spake with them again, being willing to release Jeshu.
21 Ba la tre vovome, ni, “Giciye wu, giciye wu.”
But they cried out, saying, Crucify him! Crucify 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.”
He the third time also said to them, Why, what evil hath this done? Cause whatever that is worthy of death, I find not in him: I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.
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 urgent with a high voice, demanding that they might crucify him; and theirs and the voices of the high priests prevailed.
24 U Bilatus a kpanyime ni bawu ni kpi wa ba sun.
And Pilatos commanded that their requirement should be done.
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 released to them him who, for insurrection and murder, had been thrown into the house of the chained, whom they had asked: but Jeshu he delivered to their will.
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 laid hold on Shemun Kurinoya, who was coming from the country, and they laid on him the cross, that he might bear (it) after Jeshu.
27 Chubu nji ni mba ba lo suron na ni yi nitu ma, na ni hu.
And there followed him much people, and those women who mourned and wailed for 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.
And Jeshu turned to them, and said, Daughters of Urishlem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep, 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, coming are the days in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts that have not suckled.
30 U ba fare tre ndu tita, “Ku chan ta, ni Igbulume, Bika kata.
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the heights, Cover us!
31 Ba ni na tie kpi biyi u kunkron a ri he ni shushu, ahi ngeri ani tie u kunkro klu ye?
For if to the tree which is good they do these things, unto the dry what shall be?
32 U ba nji indji hari biwa ba lah-tre, hi niwu baba Yesu.
And there went with him two others, workers of evil, to be put to death.
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 came to a certain place called Karkaphtha, there they crucified him, and those workers of evil, one on his right hand, and one on his 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.
BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots.
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.”
But the people stood beholding, and the rulers also, mocking him, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if he be the Meshicha, the Chosen of God.
36 Bi lokpa me ba tsawu, na wa niye, nda ni dren iman wa'a sa.
And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar,
37 Nani tre, “U ta hi chu Yahudawa, U ka kpa tume chuwo.”
said to him, If thou art the King of the Jihudoyee, save thyself.
38 U gban ri he niwu tu, “I wa yii a chu Yahudawa.”
And there was also an inscription which was written over him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JIHUDOYEE.
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 those workers of evil who were hanged with him, blasphemed against him, saying, If thou art the Meshicha, deliver thyself, and deliver us also.
40 U ri ma sah, wa ya losuron, “U na tie sissri Irji na, nitu wa ba wuta baba?
And his companion rebuked him, and said to him, Dost thou not fear (even) Aloha? for thou also art in this judgment.
41 U mbu ba tie tsra, ki kpa mbu nitu kpe wa ki tie, Igu yi ana tie kperi memema na.”
And we righteously, forasmuch as we have been deserving, and as we are punished for that which we have done;
42 Nna la tre, “Yesu na kparisu ni me na, uta ri ni ko Itie me.”
but this hath done nothing that is abominable. And he said to Jeshu, Remember me, my Lord, when thou art come into thy kingdom!
43 Yesu hla ni wu, “Njanji tre misi hla niwu, luwa u he nime ni Firdausi.”
Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to thee, That to-day with me thou shalt be in Paradise.
44 U ba he niki ni krafi tanne, u bubu ka tie bwu kagon gbu'a wawu, hi ni krafi tiya.
NOW it was about six hours, and there was darkness over all the earth until nine hours.
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 sun darkened, and rent was the vail of the temple through the midst of it.
46 Ni yar yi ni lan gbangban me, Yesu tre, “Itie, mi ka Ruhu Mu no niwo me.” wa tre naki, na que.
And Jeshu cried with a high voice, and said, My Father, in thy hands I place my spirit. This he said, and completed.
47 U Jirimia a toh kpi wa a tie, na gbire Irji san, “Gbigbi iguyi a hi indji ndindi.”
But when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Aloha, saying, Assuredly this was a just man.
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 multitude, they who were assembled to see this, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting upon their breasts.
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 there were standing afar off all the acquaintances of Jeshu, and those women who came with him from Galila; and they saw these things.
50 U indji ri ba yowu Yusufu, ahi vren u majalisan ni ugbu na indji ndindi.
BUT a certain man, whose name was Jauseph, a senator from Rometha, a city of Jehud, a man (who) was good and just:
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.
(this had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; and he was waiting for the kingdom of Aloha: )
52 Igu ki, ahi ni Bilatus, na miyen wu a ndu ban ikpon Yesu no wawu.
this approached Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu;
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 he took it down, and wrapped it in a cloth of linen, and laid it in a hewn sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.
54 Ivi ri ri ni vi, u Asabaci te whiwhre.
And it was the day of the preparation; and the shabath had lighted.
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 drew near, they who had come with him from Galila; and they saw the sepulchre, and where the body was laid;
56 U ba kma hi, u ba wa inye u gban ni turare. U ba kusi ni ivi Asabaci, nidu.
and, returned, they prepared balsams and aromatics, and on the shabath rested, as it is commanded.
