Luka 23
1 Nipele, ŵandu wose uŵachingangene pepala ŵajimi ni kwajausya Che Yesu mmbujo mwa che Pilato.
And they all went and took him before Pilate.
2 Ŵatandite kwaŵechetela, achitiji, “Twansimene mundu ju ali nkwalyungasya ŵandu ŵa chilambo chetu ali nkwakanya ŵandu kutyosya nsongo kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma ni kulitenda kuti jwelejo ali Kilisito Nkulupusyo, Mwenye.”
And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
3 Che Pilato ŵammusisye Che Yesu, “Ana mmweji ni mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Mmwejo mwasyene ni ummechete.”
And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.
4 Nipele, che Pilato ŵaasalile achakulu ŵambopesi ni mpingo wa ŵandu, “Nganguchiwona chachili chose chakuti nannamule mundu ju.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.
5 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵachalile nnope achitiji, “Akwalyungasya ŵandu kwa majiganyo gao mu chilambo chose cha ku Yudea. Ŵatandite ku Galilaya ni sambano aiche apano.”
But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.
6 Che Pilato paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵausisye, “Ana mundu ju ali jwa ku Galilaya?”
But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?
7 Paŵaimanyilile kuti Che Yesu ŵaliji jwa chilambo chachili mu ulamusi u che Helode, ŵampeleche ku che Helode, juŵaliji kukoko ku Yelusalemu gele moŵa go.
And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.
8 Che Helode paŵammweni Che Yesu ŵasangalele nnope. Chitandile kalakala ŵalajile kwawona pakuŵa ŵapilikene ngani syao, nombewo ŵalolelaga kwawona Che Yesu ali nkupanganya imanyisyo.
Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.
9 Nipele che Helode ŵammusisye Che Yesu mausyo gamajinji nambo Che Yesu nganajanga lili lyose.
And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.
10 Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo uŵaliji pelepo ŵaŵechetele Che Yesu kwa machili.
And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.
11 Nipele, che Helode ni ŵangondo ŵakwe, ŵanyelwisye ni kwatukana Che Yesu ni kwawasya iwalo yakusalala ni ŵammuchisye ku che Pilato.
And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Lye lyuŵa lyo che Helode ni che Pilato ŵajilene ni kuŵa uganja pakuŵa chitandilile kalakala ŵatindene lyasi.
And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.
13 Nipele, che Pilato ŵasimanisye achakulu ŵambopesi ni ilongola ni ŵandu,
And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,
14 ni ŵaasalile, “Mumbelechele mundu ju nchitiji ŵaliji nkwalyungasya ŵandu. Sambano mpilikane! Uneji sosilesosile ngani syao mmbujo mwenu nambo nganinansimana ni ligambo lili lyose lyankati indu imwammechetele.
You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:
15 Ngaŵa uneji pe, atamuno che Helode ammuchisye kukwetu pakuŵa nganaliwona ligambo lili lyose. Usyene ukulosya kuti mundu ju nganatenda chachili chose changalumbana chakwaŵajila chiwa.
And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.
16 Nipele, chilamule kuti aputikwe mbokola nombe chinalechelele.”
And so I will give him punishment and let him go.
17 Pakuŵa ŵasachilwe kwaugulila jwataŵikwe jumo katema ka Pasaka.
18 Nambo wose ŵatandite kunyanyisya kwanakamo achitiji, “Mummulaje mundu ju, ntugopolele che Balaba!”
But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.
19 Che Balaba ŵataŵikwe mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ligongo lya kukamulangana ni ŵandu ŵaŵatindigenye mu musi ni mu utinda wo ŵaulajikwe mundu jumo.
Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.
20 Che Pilato ŵasachile kwalechelela Che Yesu, ŵaŵechete nawo kaaŵili kwakunyanyisya.
And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.
21 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵanyanyisye sooni, “Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba, Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba!”
But crying out they said, To the cross with him!
22 Che Pilato ŵaasalile kaatatu, “Ana changalumbana chi chatesile mundu ju? Nganguliwona ligambo lililyose nkati mundu ju lyati ikwaŵajila chiwa. Nipele chilamule aputikwe mbokola ni kwalechelela.”
And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.
23 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapundile kunyanyisya kwa machili nnope kuti Che Yesu akusachilwa kuŵambikwa pa nsalaba. Kumbesi kwakwe, maloŵe gao gapikaniche.
But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.
24 Che Pilato ŵalamwile kuti chasachilenje chipanganikwe.
And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.
25 Ŵangopwele jwelejo juŵataŵikwe kwa ligongo lya kutindiganya ni kuulaga ni kwatyochesya Che Yesu kwa ŵangondo kuti ŵatende mpela iŵasakaga.
And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.
26 Ŵangondo paŵalinji nkwajausya Che Yesu kukwaŵamba pa nsalaba ŵasimene ni mundu liina lyao che Simoni jwa ku Kulene, juŵatyochelaga mu nsinda kwinjila mu musi. Ŵankamwile ni kwatwika nsalaba ni kwakuya Che Yesu panyuma.
And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.
27 Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wankuiye, mwa ŵanyawo ŵapali achakongwe uŵaliji nkulila nnope ni kulila kwa malumbo.
And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.
28 Che Yesu ŵaagalauchile ŵanyawo ni kwasalila, “Mwanya achakongwe ŵa ku Yelusalemu! Ngasimulilila une nambo nlililile mwachinsyene ni ŵanache ŵenu.
But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.
29 Pakuŵa moŵa chigaiche pachachiti, ‘Ŵana upile ŵangakuŵeleka ni ŵanganaŵeleka ni konjesya!’
For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.
30 Pelepo ni pachatande kuisalila ikwesya kuti ‘Ntugwilile!’ Ni matumbi, ‘Ntuunichile!’
And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.
31 Pakuŵa, iŵaga ŵandu akutenda yeleyi kwa une jundi mpela chitela chachiŵisi. Ana chatende chichi kukwenu ŵandi mpela chitela chejumu?”
For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?
32 Nombe ŵapali ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵili, uŵatendaga yangalumbana, ŵajigalikwe kukuulajikwa pamo ni Che Yesu.
And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.
33 Paŵaiche kwiuto, liina lyakwe, “Chikalakasa cha Ntwe,” Nipele kweleko ŵaŵambile pa nsalaba Che Yesu pamo ni aŵala ŵaŵili uŵaitendekanyaga yangalumbana, jumo kundyo kwao ni jwine kunchiji.
And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.
34 Che Yesu ŵatite, “Atati, mwalechelesye pakuŵa ngakuimanyilila yakuitendayi.” Nipele, ŵagaŵene iwalo yao kwa kuitendela gudugudu.
And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.
35 Ŵandu ŵajimi achilolaga. Achakulu ŵa chiyahudi ŵanjalwisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Ŵakulupwisye ŵane, sambano alikulupusye nsyene iŵaga jwelejo ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwasagulikwe ni Akunnungu!”
And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.
36 Ŵangondo nombewo ŵanjalwisye Che Yesu ni kwapelechela divai ja kuipa,
And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,
37 ni ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Iŵaga isyene mmwejo ni Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi, nlikulupusye mwasyene.”
And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.
38 Ni pachanya nsalaba ŵaŵisile chindu chachilembekwe yele, “Aŵaŵa ALI MWENYE JWA ŴAYAHUDI.”
And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Jumo jwa aŵala uŵatendaga yangalumbana uŵaŵambikwe pepala ŵantukene Che Yesu achitiji, “Ana mmwejo ngati ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo? Nlikulupusye mwasyene noweji iyoyo peyo.”
And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.
40 Nambo jwine jula ŵankalipile achitiji, “Ana mmweji ngankwajogopa Akunnungu namose kanandi? Namuno mmwejo nnamulikwe chisau ni ŵele.
But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,
41 Mmwe ni une tukuŵajilwa, pakuŵa aji ni mbote ja sambi syatutesile. Nambo aju mundu ju nganapanganya chachili chose changalumbana.”
And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.
42 Nipele ŵaŵechete, “Choonde Che Yesu! Mungumbuchile pachinchiinjila mu umwenye wenu.”
And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.
43 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile jwelejo, “Isyene ngunsalila, lelo jino chimme pampepe none kumbepo.”
And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.
44 Kaliji mpela katema ka lyuŵa pantwe, sooni kwaliji chipi pachilambo chose mpaka saa tisa,
And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;
45 ni lyuŵa lyalesile kuŵala ni nguo ja lusasa ja mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu japapwiche pambindikati.
The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.
46 Che Yesu ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Atati, ngujiŵika mbumu jangu mmakono mwenu.” Paŵamasile kuŵecheta gelego, ŵawile.
And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.
47 Jwankulu jwaŵangondo paŵaiweni iyatendekweyo, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu achitiji, “Isyenepe, mundu ju jwaliji jwambone.”
And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.
48 Mpingo wa ŵandu wasongangene ligongo lyakulola iyatendekwe, paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵaujangene mmangwawo aninkuliputa pa ntima pao kwakulilasika.
And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.
49 Achambusanga ŵao wose ni achakongwe uŵalongene nawo kutyochela ku Galilaya, ŵajimi kwakutalichila, aninkulola yaikutyochela.
And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.
50 Jwapali mundu liina lyao che Yusufu, jumo jwa ŵantenga ŵa nkungulu wekulungwa wa Chiyahudi. Mundu ju ŵaliji jwambone ni jwakupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu,
Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man
51 ni nganajitichisyana nawo iŵaisachile ni kuipanganya. Jweleju jwaliji mundu jwa nsinda umo wa Chiyahudi waukuŵilanjikwa Alimataya ni jwaliji nkulolela Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
(He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:
52 Nipele, jwele mundu ŵajawile ku che Pilato, ŵaŵendile apegwe chiilu chi Che Yesu.
This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.
53 Nipele, che Yusufu ŵachitulwisye chiilu pa nsalaba ni kuchiŵilijila ni sanda ni ŵachiŵisile mwilembe lilyasepekwe palwala, lilyaliji likanaŵe kuŵichikwa mundu.
And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.
54 Lyele lyuŵa lyo lyaliji lyuŵa lyakuliŵika chile kwa ligongo lya Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.
55 Ni achakongwe uŵalongene nawo Che Yesu kutyochela ku Galilaya ŵala, ŵakuiye che Yusufu ni ŵaliweni lilembe lyo ni yachitite pakuŵichikwa chiilu chi Che Yesu.
And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;
56 Nipele, ŵausile kumusi ni kulinganya mauta ga malahamu ni mauta gakununjila gakugapakasya chiilu chi Che Yesu. Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ŵapumulile mpela igakuti kulamula Malajisyo.
And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.
