< Luke 23 >

1 The whole council rose and took him to Pilate.
Bhemelela obungano gwonti, bhatwala hwa Pilato.
2 There they started to accuse him. “We found this man deceiving our nation, telling people not to pay taxes to Caesar, and claiming he is Messiah, a king,” they said.
Bhandile hutake, bhayanga, “Tilolile ono natezya itaifa lyetu na bhazubhile abhantu bhagaje hupele Okaisari, esonga ayanjile eyaje omwhale yoyo ni Klisiti, Mwene.”
3 “Are you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “So you say,” replied Jesus.
Pilato wabhozya, wayanga, “Awe wewe omwene Owayahudi?” Wagalula wabhabhola, “Awe wayanga.”
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I don't find this man guilty of any crime.”
Pilato wabhola agosi abhemakohani na mabungono, “Sendilola izu lyalili libhibhi hwa mntu ono”.
5 But they insisted, saying, “He is inciting rebellion all over Judea with his teachings, from Galilee to right here in Jerusalem.”
Wape bhahwikazile sana, bhayanga, “Abhasonje sonje abhantu, amanyizyaga evyahudi yonti, afume Galilaya mpaka ohu.”
6 When he heard this, Pilate asked, “Is this man a Galilean?”
U Pilato nawovwa ego abhozyezye nkashele ono mntu wa Hugalilaya?
7 When he discovered that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod who was also in Jerusalem at the time.
Na apete enongwa eyaje alichini wa Herode, atwalile wa Herode, afwanaje omwahale wape ahali hu Yerusalemu ensiku ezyo.
8 Herod was very pleased to see Jesus since he had wanted to meet him for a long time. He had heard about Jesus and was hoping to see him perform a miracle.
Na Herode nalolile u Yesu ashimile tee afwanaje ali ahwanza tee hulole afume ensiku nyinji. Afwane nesho ayovwezye enongwe zyakwe, wasobhela alole ishala yebhambilwe nomwahale.
9 He asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not answer him at all.
Wabhozya enongwa nyinji omwahale sewagalulo lyalyonti.
10 The chief priests and religious teachers stood there, angrily accusing him.
Agosi abhemakuhani na simbi bhimelela bhataka humaha gonti.
11 Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked him. Then they placed a royal robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.
Basi Herode wabhombo lema, pandwemo na sikali bhakwe, wasolanya na wakwalizye amenda amenza, esho wawezye hwa Pilato.
12 From that day on Herod and Pilate were friends—before that they had been enemies.
Basi isiku lila Herode na Pilato bhakonde ne abhe lafiki afwanaje epo ahwanda bhali bhavisenye bhebho hwe bhebho.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, rulers, and the people,
Na Pilato wabhatanya agosi wa makuhani na gosi na bhantu,
14 and told them, “You brought this man before me, accusing him of inciting the people to rebellion. I've carefully examined him in your presence, and do not find him guilty of the charges you have brought against him.
Wabhola, “Mntu ono mletile hwiline nensheje atezyo abhantu nane enyaa, enamuye amambo gakwe hwitagalila lyenyu, ka sendilolile hwamwahale ikosa lyalyonti katika enongwa zya mtakile.
15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. He has done nothing that demands he should be put to death.
Wala, hata o Herode, nkashile awezizye hwilite basi enyua, sagalilole enongwa yayonti lyabhombile lyali hwanziwa aje afwanje.
16 So I will have him flogged and then release him.”
Esho basi embahuwelele nahumwalule.
(Esho, Pilato yukazimisizye humwaulile ofungwa omo isiku elye esikulukulu).
18 But they all shouted together, “Kill this man, and release Barabbas to us.”
Bhahwaga ibwago wonti pandwemo bhayanga, “Mwefwe ono, otuulile o Baraba!”
19 (Barabbas had been put in prison for taking part in a rebellion in the city, and for murder.)
Wape mntu watagwelwe mwijele kwaji fitina efumile hwiboma, kwajili yengoga.
20 Pilate wanted to release Jesus, so spoke to them again.
Basi Pilato wayanga nabho mala habhele hushila shanzaga humwaulile u Yesu.
21 But they kept on shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
Lelo bhabwaga ibwago, bhayanga, “Msulubishe, msulubishe.”
22 Pilate asked them for the third time, “But why? What crime has he committed? I don't find any reason for executing him. So I will have him flogged and then release him.”
Wabhola emala eyatatu, afwane wele, ono abhombile mabhibhi wele, sendolile hwamwahale enongwa zyazihwanziwa aje afwe, basi nkashele na welela embahumwaile.”
23 But they continued insisting with loud shouts, demanding that he be crucified. Their shouting succeeded,
Lelo bhafumia amazu hunguvu zyonti, bhabhabha asulubiwe. Amazu gabho gamena.
24 and Pilate gave the sentence they demanded.
Pilato walonga aje gabhahwunza gubhombeshe.
25 He released the man imprisoned for rebellion and murder, but he sent Jesus to be put to death in accordance with their demands.
Wamwaula ola yabhatajile mwisela kwajili eyefilina nu negoga, ola yabhamwanzaga wafumia o Yesu bhabhombele shabhahwanza.
26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized a man called Simon of Cyrene, who had come in from the countryside. They put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.
Nabhalai bhahusogotya, bhakhatu omntu omo, o Simoni Omkirene, ali afumile hugonda bhalweha ikhobhanyo aweje hwikhosi lyakwe u Yesu.
27 A large crowd followed him, along with women who were mourning and lamenting him.
Obungano ogosi owabhantu bhalondolela na bhashe bhabhali bhahikhoma evifubha na huzundelele.
28 Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me. Weep for yourselves and your children.
U Yesu wabhagulushila wayanga amwe mwalendu abhahu Yerusalemu, msuhandilele ane, shwililasi enafsi zyenu na bhana bhenyu.
29 For the time is coming when they'll say, ‘Happy are those who are childless, and those who never had babies, and those who never nursed them.’
Eshi, enyi ensiku zihwenze nabhayinga hafu bhabhuli bhagumba nufyanda vyao vyase vipapa na mabhelo ga segahwosya.
30 They'll say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’
Esho nabhayanda agabhozye amagamba tigweleli notugamba tigubekayi.
31 For if they do this to wood that is green, what will happen when it's dried out?”
Afwanaje nkashile bhabhomba amambo ega hwikwi ilyoro, ebhabhe wele hwilyo?”
32 They also took two others who were criminals to be executed with him.
Bhatwala bhabhele abhamwabho abhe makasa bhabudwe pandwemo nuwo.
33 When they reached the place called the Skull they crucified him together with the criminals, one on his right, and the other on his left.
Nabhafishile pamopame papa kwiziwa Fuvu litwe, epo pasulubisizye omwahale panda wemo ba bhemakosa omo oupande owendelo omo opande omongo.
34 Jesus said, “Father, please forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing.” They divided up his clothes by throwing dice for them.
U Yesu waga, “Baba, ubhasajile afwanaje sebhemenge lyabhabhomba bhagabhanya amenda gakwe, bhakhoma ekora.
35 The people stood and watched and the leaders sneered at Jesus. “He saved others, let him save himself, if he is really God's Messiah, the Chosen One,” they said.
Abhantu bhemelela bhenye bhala agosi bhape bhabhombela ezalau, bhayanga, “Ahauye abhanje. Ahwiyu ule yoyo nkashile yu Klisiti owa Ngolobhe oteule wakwe.”
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up to him and offering him wine vinegar, saying,
Bhala asikali bhape bhazalale bhabhalila nu huletele esiki,
37 “If you're the King of the Jews, then save yourself.”
ohu bhayanga nkashile awe oli mwene owa yahudi, hwiyaule umwene”
38 Above Jesus was a sign on which it was written, “This is the King of the Jews.”
Pamwanya yakwe pali amandishi, “ONO NDIYO MWENE WA MWENE WAYAHUDI.”
39 One of the criminals hanging there joined in the insults against Jesus. “Aren't you the Messiah?” he asked. “Then save yourself—and us too!”
Nomo owabhala owikosa yabhakhomeleye aujile, wayanga, “Eshi awe sagawe Klisiti? Hwiyaule enafsi yuho nute.”
40 But the other criminal disagreed and argued with him, “Don't you fear God even when you're suffering the same punishment?” he asked.
Lelo ula owabhele wagalula waidamila wayanga, “Awe sohwumwogopa hata Ongolobhe, nawe olimundongo zyezyo?
41 “For us the sentence is right since we're being punished for what we did, but this man didn't do anything wrong.”
Gape gelyoli hwaliti atee, afwanaje tipewa oshahara gwetu, gwaguhwanziwa humamba getu. Eshi ono sabhombile lyalyonti lyasaga ufaa.”
42 Then he said, “Jesus, please remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Basi wayanga, “Yesu, onizushe nawayinjila humwene waho.”
43 Jesus replied, “I promise you today you will be with me in paradise.”
U Yesu wabhola, “Eteha, ehubhola, sanyono eshi onzubha pandwemo nane Paradiso.”
44 By this time it was around noon and darkness fell over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
Epo yuli efishile esala eya saa sita, yabha nkisi juu ya pasi ponti hadi saa tisa,
45 The sun's light was shut out, and the Temple veil was torn in two.
esanya lipongoshe okhozyo lwakwe, elyenda elye shibhanza lyazembuha paha.
46 Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, I place myself in your hands.” Having said this he breathed his last.
U Yesu walila hwizu igosi, wayanga, “Baba makhono gaho, enjibheha eroho yane,” Na wamala ayanje ego wadumula eroho.
47 When the centurion saw what had happened he praised God and said, “Surely this man was innocent.”
Ula Oakida nuwalula gagafumie atukuzizye Ongolobhe, wayanga, “Lyoli omntu ono aliwelyoli.”
48 When all the crowds that had come to watch saw what happened they went home beating their chests in grief.
Na mubungano gonti ega bhantu bhabhali bhabhungene ahwenye amambo ego nabhalolile gagabhombeshe bhabhala amwabho bhahwi khoma khoma evifubha.
49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who'd followed him from Galilee, watched from a distance.
Nabhonti bhamanye nawo na bhala abhashe bhalongozenye nawo afume Hugalilaya, bhemelela sahutuli, bhahwenga amambo ego.
50 There was a man called Joseph who was good and honest. He was a member of the council,
Na enya wafumila omntu omo itawa lyakwe yo Yusufu, ambaye mntu wa hwikolo ti, omntu, omwinza owe lyoli,
51 but he hadn't agreed with its decisions and actions. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and was waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God.
(Wala saga alyeteshe ishauli lyabho), wape mntu wa Armathaya, iboma elya yahudi, antele awenyelezya umwene owa Ngolobhe.
52 Joseph went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
Omntu oyo abhalile huwa Pilato, ahanzaga apewa obele gwa Yesu.
53 Once he'd taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth. He laid Jesus in an unused tomb cut into the rock.
Wagwisya wagubwenesya esanda yakitani waubhaha mwakaburi lyalibenwe paka pansi, lyelyali sabhe hwelwe omntu mhati yakwe.
54 It was preparation day and the Sabbath would soon begin.
Na isiku lila lyali lisiku elye mandalizi, elyatoye lyanda ahwinjile.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee had followed Joseph and had seen the tomb where Jesus' body had been laid.
Nabhala abhashe, bhahenzele nawo afume Hugalilaya bhalondoleye, bhayilola inkongwa na bele gwakwe sagwabhehwelwe.
56 They returned home and prepared spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath they rested, observing the commandment.
Bhawela bhabhomba tayali anukato na marashi. Ni siku elyatoye bhamile neshi shabhamuye.
