Luke 23
1 And they all went and took him before Pilate.
Zvino chaunga chavo chese chakasimuka, chikamutungamidza kuna Pirato.
2 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.
Zvino vakatanga kumupomera, vachiti: Tawana uyu achitsausa rudzi, nekudzivisa kupa mitero kuna Kesari, achiti iye pachake ndiKristu Mambo.
3 And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.
Zvino Pirato wakamubvunza achiti: Iwe uri Mambo weVaJudha here? Ndokumupindura, akati: Unoreva iwe.
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.
Pirato ndokuti kuvapristi vakuru nezvaunga: Handiwani mhosva kumunhu uyu.
5 But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.
Asi vakasimbisa, vachiti: Unonyonganisa vanhu, achidzidzisa muJudhiya rese, kutanga paGarirea kusvikira pano.
6 But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?
Pirato wakati anzwa zveGarirea, akabvunza kana munhu uyu ari muGarirea.
7 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.
Zvino paakangoziva kuti ndeweushe hwaHerodhe, wakamutumira kuna Herodhe, iye waivawo muJerusarema pamazuva iwayo.
8 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.
Zvino Herodhe paakaona Jesu wakafara zvikurusa; nokuti waishuva kumuona kwenguva refu, nokuti wakange anzwa zvinhu zvizhinji pamusoro pake; uye wakatarisira kuona chimwe chiratidzo chichiitwa naye.
9 And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.
Ndokumubvunza nemashoko mazhinji; asi iye haana kumupindura chinhu.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.
Zvino vapristi vakuru nevanyori vakamira vakamupomera zvine simba.
11 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.
NaHerodhe nemauto ake wakamuzvidza, nekuseka akamupfekedza nguvo refu inobwinya, akamudzosera kuna Pirato.
12 And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.
Nemusi iwoyo Pirato naHerodhe vakava shamwari neshamwari; nokuti paimbova neruvengo pakati pavo.
13 And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,
Zvino Pirato wakati adanira pamwe vapristi vakuru nevatungamiriri nevanhu,
14 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:
akati kwavari: Mauisa munhu uyu kwandiri seanotsausa vanhu; zvino tarirai ini ndaongorora pamberi penyu, handina kuwana mhosva kumunhu uyu yezvinhu zvamunomupomera;
15 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.
kwete, kunyange Herodhe; nokuti ndinokutumai kwaari; zvino tarirai, hapana chakafanira rufu chakaitwa naye.
16 And so I will give him punishment and let him go.
Naizvozvo ndichamurova ndigomusunungura.
Nokuti zvaiva zvakafanira kuti avasunungurire umwe pamutambo.
18 But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.
Asi vese vakadanidzira pamwe vachiti: Kure neuyu, asi mutisunungurire Bharabhasi.
19 Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.
Iye wakange akandirwa mutirongo nemhaka yerimwe bongozozo rakange raitika muguta uye neumhondi.
20 And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.
Naizvozvo Pirato achida kusunungura Jesu, wakataurazve kwavari.
21 But crying out they said, To the cross with him!
Asi vakadanidzira, vachiti: Roverera pamuchinjikwa, muroverere pamuchinjikwa!
22 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.
Akati kwavari rwechitatu: Nemhaka yei, iye waita chakaipa chipi? Handina kuwana mhosva yerufu maari; naizvozvo ndichamurova ndigomusunungura.
23 But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.
Asi vakasimbisa nemanzwi makuru, vachikumbira kuti arovererwe pamuchinjikwa. Manzwi avo neevapristi vakuru akabudirira.
24 And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.
Zvino Pirato wakatema kuti chikumbiro chavo chiitike.
25 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.
Akavasunungurira uyo wavakakumbira, wakange akandwa mutirongo nekuda kwebongozozo neumhondi; asi akakumikidza Jesu kuchido chavo.
26 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.
Zvino vakati vachimutungamidza, vakabata umwe Simoni muKurini achibva kuruwa, vakamutakudza muchinjikwa, kuti atakure shure kwaJesu.
27 And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.
Zvino kwakatevera kwaari chaunga chikuru chevanhu, nevakadzi vairirawo nekumuchema.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.
Asi Jesu wakatendeukira kwavari akati: Vakunda veJerusarema, musachemera ini, asi muzvichemere imwi nevana venyu;
29 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.
nokuti tarirai, mazuva anouya avachati nawo: Dzakaropafadzwa mhanje, nezvizvaro zvisina kubereka, nemazamu asina kunwisa.
30 And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.
Ipapo vachatanga kuti kumakomo: Wirai pamusoro pedu; nekuzvikomo: Tifukidzei.
31 For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?
Nokuti kana vachiita zvinhu izvi kumuti munyoro, chii chichaitika kune wakawoma?
32 And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.
Zvino kwakatungamidzwawo vamwe vaiti vezvakaipa vaviri, kuti vaurawe pamwe naye.
33 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.
Zvino vakati vasvika panzvimbo inonzi Dehenya, ipapo vakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa, nevaiti vezvakaipa, umwe kuruoko rwerudyi, neumwe kuruboshwe.
34 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.
Jesu ndokuti: Baba, vakanganwirei; nokuti havazivi chavanoita. Zvino vakagovana nguvo dzake, vakakanda mujenya.
35 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.
Vanhu ndokumira vakatarira. Nevatongiwo pamwe navo vakamuseka, vachiti: Wakaponesa vamwe, ngaazviponese, kana iye ari Kristu, musanangurwa waMwari.
36 And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,
Nemautowo akamuseka, achimuvigira vhiniga,
37 And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.
uye vachiti: Kana iwe uri Mambo weVaJudha, zviponese.
38 And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Zvino kwakange kune rugwarowo rwakanyorwa pamusoro pake nemavara echiGiriki nechiRoma nechiHebheru, rwaiti: UYU NDIMAMBO WEVAJUDHA.
39 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.
Uye umwe wevaiti vezvakaipa vakange vakaremberedzwa wakamutuka achiti: Kana iwe uri Kristu, zviponese iwe nesu.
40 But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,
Asi umwe wakapindura achimutsiura, achiti: Iwe hautyi Mwari kanhi, zvauri pakutongwa kumwe?
41 And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.
Isu zvirokwazvo zvakarurama, nokuti tinogamuchira zvakafanira zvatakaita; asi uyu haana kuita chinhu chisakafanira.
42 And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.
Zvino akati kuna Jesu: Ishe mundirangarire kana masvika muushe hwenyu.
43 And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.
Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri: Nhasi uchava neni muParadhiso.
44 And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;
Zvino rakange rava awa rinenge rechitanhatu; kukavapo rima pamusoro penyika yese, kusvikira paawa repfumbamwe.
45 The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.
Nezuva rakadzikatirwa, uye vheiri retembere rakabvarurwa nepakati.
46 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.
Zvino Jesu wakati adanidzira nenzwi guru achiti: Baba, mumaoko enyu ndinokumikidza mweya wangu; akati areva izvozvi, akapa mweya.
47 And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.
Zvino mukuru wezana wakati aona zvakaitika, akarumbidza Mwari, achiti: Zvirokwazvo munhu uyu wakange akarurama.
48 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.
Nezvaunga zvese zvakange zvakaungana kuzoona izvozvi, zvakati zvichiona zvakaitika, zvikadzokera zvichizvirova zvifuva.
49 And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.
Nevazikanwi vake vese, nevakadzi vaimutevera vachibva Garirea, vakamira kure, vachiona zvinhu izvi.
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man
Zvino tarira, murume wainzi Josefa, nhengo yedare, murume wakanaka uye wakarurama;
51 (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:
iye wakange asina kutenderana nezano nechiito chavo; waiva weArimatia, guta reVaJudha, naiyewo wakange achimirira ushe hwaMwari.
52 This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.
Iye wakaenda kuna Pirato akakukumbira mutumbi waJesu.
53 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.
Zvino wakauburusa, akauputira nemucheka werineni, ndokuuradzika muguva rakange rakacherwa pabwe, makange musina kumboradzikwa munhu.
54 Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.
Zvino waiva musi wegadziriro, uye sabata roswedera.
55 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;
Nevakadziwo, vakange vauya naye vachibva Garirea, vakatevera mumashure, vakaona guva, nokuti mutumbi wake waradzikwa sei.
56 And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.
Uye vakadzokera, vakagadzirira zvinonhuhwira nezvizoro. Zvino vakazorora nesabata zvichienderana nemurairo.
