Luke 23
1 AND the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate,
Msambi wa vandu voha vevakonganiki pala, vakayima na kumpeleka Yesu palongolo ya Pilatu,
2 and began to accuse him, saying, We have found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar; pretending that he himself is the King Messiah.
Vakatumbula kumtakila vakajova, “Tamkolili mundu uyu avayaganisa vandu vitu na kavili akuvabesa vandu vakotoka kumpela kodi nkosi wa ku Loma na kujikemela ati mwene ndi Kilisitu Msangula Nkosi.”
3 Then Pilate interrogated him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him, Thou sayest so.
Pilatu akamkota Yesu, “Veve ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi?” Yesu akamyangula, “Veve wamwene ndi ujovili, veve Nkosi wa Vayawudi.”
4 Then said Pilate unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing culpable in this man.
Pilatu akavajovela vakulu va kuteta na msambi wa vandu, “Nakuchiwona chindu cheabudili mundu uyu.”
5 But they were urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.
Nambu vene vakajova chinganga, “Akuvakulukisa vandu kwa mawuliwu gaki mumulima woha wa Yudea, atumbwili ku Galilaya na hinu avi penapa.”
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean?
Pilatu peayuwini genago, akakota, “Wu, mundu uyu ndi mkolonjinji wa ku Galilaya?”
7 And when he knew that he came out of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself at Jerusalem in those days.
Peamanyili Yesu ihuma mumulima wewilongoswa na Helodi, ndi ampeliki kwa Helodi muni lukumbi lwenulo mewa avi ku Yelusalemu.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was vastly delighted: for he had been long desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle wrought by him.
Helodi akavya na luheku neju peamuweni Yesu. Muni amali kuyuwana mambu ga Yesu, ndi magono gamahele anogelayi kumlola Yesu cheikita gachinamtiti.
9 And he put a variety of questions to him; but he made him no reply.
Helodi amkotili Yesu makotesi gamahele, nambu Yesu nakumyangula chindu.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood up vehemently accusing him.
Vakulu va kuteta na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa vakayima kulongolo na kumtakila chinganganga.
11 Then Herod with his guards treated him with contempt, and in derision clothed him in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate.
Helodi pamonga na vamanjolinjoli vaki vakampeli soni Yesu na kumvevesa, kangi vakamuwalika ligwanda la unkosi na kumuwuyisa kwa Pilatu.
12 And Pilate and Herod the same day became friends together: for they had previously been at enmity with each other.
Magono gamumbele Helodi na Pilatu vatamanila cha umakoko, nambu kutumbula ligono lenilo vakavya vankozi.
13 Then Pilate, convoking the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Pilatu akavakemele pamonga, Vamteta vakulu na vachilongosi va Chiyawudi na vandu,
14 said unto them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one who perverteth the people: and lo! on examining him before you, I have found nothing culpable in this man, respecting the charges ye bring against him:
akavajovela, “Mumletili mundu uyu mwijova akuvayaganisa vandu. Hinu myuwanila! Nimali kulola muhalu uwu palongolo yinu kawaka chindu cheabudili mu mambu goha gemumtakili.
15 nor Herod neither: for I referred you to him; and, lo, nothing is done to this man, as if he deserved death.
Lepi nene ndu, nambu hati Helodi mewa, amuwuyisi kavili, ndava kawaka chindu cheabudili cheachiwene, kwa mundu uyu hati ahamuliwa lifwa.
16 I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him.
Yati nilagazila atovewa michapilu ya miinga, na kumulekekesa.
17 (Now he held it necessary to release one to them at the feast.)
Mselebuko wa Pasaka, Pilatu yamganili kuvadindulila mundu mmonga kuhuma muchifungu.”
18 Then the whole multitude set up a cry, saying, Away with this fellow, and release unto us Barabbas!
Nambu voha vakaywanga, “Mkoma mundu uyu! Utidindulilayi Balaba!”
19 (who for a certain sedition raised in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.)
Balaba asopiwi muchifungu ndava ya kukulukisa vandu muchitutu na muchitutu chenicho mundu mmonga akomiwi.
20 Again therefore Pilate called out to them, desirous to see Jesus at liberty.
Pilatu aganili kumulekekesa Yesu, ndi akalongela nawu kavili vandu vevamtakili Yesu.
21 But they clamoured the more, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
Nambu vene vakaywanga vakajova, “Mvambayi pamsalaba, mvambayi pamsalaba!”
22 Then the third time he said to them, What evil hath this man done? I have found nothing deserving death in him: I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him.
Pilatu akavajovela mala ya datu, “Chindu gani cheabudili mundu uyu? Nichiwona lepi chindu cheabudili hati ahamuliwa kukomiwa! Nene yati nilagiza atovewayi michapilu na kumlekekesa.”
23 But they were instant with the most clamorous vociferations, soliciting that he might be crucified. And their clamours, and those of the chief priests, bore him down.
Nambu vene vakayonjokesa kuywanga neju, Yesu yiganikwa avambiwayi pamsalaba, lwami zavi pamwishu zayuwaniki.
24 Then Pilate decreed that their petition should be granted.
Hinu, Pilatu akahamula gahengeka.
25 Then released he to them him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison; but he gave up Jesus to their will.
Akamulekekesa kuhuma muchifungu yula mweakukingiwi ndava ya kuvya pamonga na vandu muchitutu na kukoma mundu mmonga, ndi akamgotola Yesu vamukita ngati chevigana.
26 And as they led him out, laying hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, they laid on him the cross, to carry after Jesus.
Pevavi mukupeleka, vakakonganeka na mundu mmonga liina laki Simoni mkolonjinji wa Kulene, mweahumayi kumgunda waki, ndi vakamkamula na kumgegesa msalaba wula mumbele ya Yesu.
27 And a great multitude of the people and of women followed him, who also beat their breasts and lamented him bitterly.
Vandu msambi kwa msambi, wamulandili, pagati yavi vavi vadala vevamuvembelayi Yesu ndava ya lipyanda.
28 But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves, and for your children.
Yesu akavang'anamukila, akajova, “Vamawu va Yelusalemu! Mkoto kunivembela nene, nambu mujivembela mwavene na vana vinu.
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts which never suckled.
Muni chakaka walabwela lukumbi, yati mwijova, ‘Mbanga yavi vadala, vangali vana na vangavaleke, amala vanganyong'esa vana!’
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us!
Lukumbi lwenulo, yati vandu vakuvijovela vidunda, mutigwilila na tudunda, ‘Mutigubika!’
31 For if they do all these things with the green wood, what will be done with the dry?
Ngati vandu vakunikitila nene chenicho mwenivili ngati mkongo uvisi, yati yivya wuli kwa nyenye mwemuvi ngati mkongo uyumu?”
32 Now there were two other persons, malefactors, led out with him to be executed.
Mewa vavatoli vandu vangi vavili vanyagaji vavapeliki, kukomiwa pamonga na Yesu.
33 And when they came to a place called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, the one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Pavahikili pandu pepikemelawa, “Libangu la Mutu,” Ndi vakamvamba Yesu pamsalaba pamonga na vanyagaji vavili vala mmonga upandi waki wa kulyela na yungi upandi wa kumangeya.
34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Then dividing his garments, they cast the lot.
Yesu akajova, “Dadi, valekekesa, muni nakumanya chevikita.” Kangi, vakagavana nyula zaki kwa kuhagula kwa gudugudu.
35 And the people stood looking on. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this fellow is the Messiah, the elect of God.
Vandu vayimili kulolokesa kuni vakulu va Vayawudi chevamvevisi vijova, “Avasangwili vangi, hinu ajisangula mwene ngati mwene ndi Kilisitu mwehaguliwi na Chapanga!”
36 And the soldiers also insulted him, coming and offering him vinegar,
Manjolinjoli mewa vamvevisi, vamhambili Yesu na kumpela divayi yivavanu,
37 and saying, if thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
Vakumjovela, “Ngati chakaka veve ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi, ujisangula wamwene!”
38 And there was an inscription written over him in Greek, Roman, and Hebrew characters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Panani ya msalaba vavikili chibawu chechayandikiwi, “Mwenuyu ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi.”
39 Then one of the suspended malefactors blasphemed him, saying, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself and us.
Mmonga wa vanyagaji vala vevavambiwi pamsalaba akamliga Yesu, akajova “Wu, lepi chakaka kuvya veve ndi Kilisitu Msangula? Jisangula wamwene, utisangula na tete!”
40 But the other addressing him, rebuked him, saying, Hast thou no fear of God, when thou art under the same condemnation?
Nambu mnyagaji yungi yula, akamuywangila muyaki akamjovela, “Veve ukumuyogopa lepi Chapanga hati padebe? Veve uhamuliwi mewawa.
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive deserved punishment for the crimes we have committed: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Veve na nene yikutigana tihamuliwa ndava ya kunyaga kwitu. Nambu mundu uyu kawaka hati chimonga cheabudili.”
42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.
Kangi akamjovela Yesu, “Veve Yesu! Ukoto kunikosiwa peuyingila Munkosi waku!”
43 And Jesus said to him. Verily I say unto thee, To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
Yesu akamyangula, “Chakaka nikujovela lelu yati tivya na nene kupaladiso.”
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
Kutumbula saa sita muhi, chitita chikagubika mulima woha mbaka saa tisa,
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
na lilanga likakotoka kulangasa na lipazia lelakovikwi mu Nyumba ya Chapanga likapapuka vipandi vivili.
46 And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit: and having said this, he expired.
Yesu akavemba kwa lwami luvaha, “Dadi! Mumawoko gaku nigotola mpungu wangu!” Akadumuka mpungu.
47 And the centurion observing what had come to pass, glorified God, saying, Verily this man was a righteous person.
Mkulu wa manjolinjoli yula peagawene gegahumalili, akamulumba Chapanga akajova, “Chakaka mundu uyu avi mbwina!”
48 And all the multitudes who had come together for this spectacle, when they saw the things which were done, beating their breasts, returned.
Na vandu voha vevakonganiki penapo ndava ya lijambu lenilo pavagawene gegahumalili gala, vakawuya kunyumba zavi, kuni vakujitova nganga cha ngolongondi.
49 And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women which followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
Vankozi vaki voha pamonga na vadala vealongosini nawu kuhuma ku Galilaya, vayimili cha kutali kulola mambu genago.
50 And lo! a man named Joseph, being a member of the council, a good man, and a just;
Kwavi na mundu mmonga liina laki Yosefu, avi mmonga wa vachilongosi wa libanji likulu la Vayawudi. Avi mundu mbwina na kukita geigana Chapanga,
51 (who had not given his assent to their determination and deed; ) being of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who himself also expected the coming of the kingdom of God.
mwene nakuyidakilana gevapangili na kugakita vachilongosi vayaki va libanji likulu la Vayawudi. Yosefu avi mkolonjinji wa Alimatei, ndi avi mukulindila kubwela kwa Unkosi wa Chapanga.
52 He went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Mundu mwenuyo akahamba kwa Pilatu kumuyupa atola higa ya Yesu.
53 And taking it down from the cross, he wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a sepulchre hewn out of a rock, where none had ever yet lain.
Akayihulusa higa kuhuma pamsalaba, akayitindisila nyula ya msopi na kuvika mulitinda lelahongoliwi pamhana ya litalau, lavi langavikiwa mundu.
54 And that was the preparation-day, and the sabbath’s twilight was approaching.
Lavi ligono la kutendelekeha, Ligono la Kupumulila ndi latumbukana.
55 Then the women also, his attendants, who had followed him out of Galilee, observed the sepulchre, and how his corpse was laid out.
Vadala vevalongosini na Yesu kuhuma ku Galilaya vakamulanda Yosefu na kuliwona litinda na higa ya Yesu cheuvikiwi.
56 And returning, they made preparation of aromatics and unguents; and they rested the sabbath-day, according to the commandment.
Kangi vakawuya kunyumba, vakatendelekela mahuta geginungalila bwina ga kunyala higa ya Yesu. Ligono la Kupumulila vapumulili ngati malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa chegilagiza.
