Luke 23
1 AND the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
Mme Lekgotla lotlhe la tseela Jesu kwa go Pilatwe wa molaodi.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
Mme ba simolola go mmaya molato ba re: “Motho yo o ntse a timetsa batho ba rona ka go ba raya a re ba se ka ba ntshetsa mmuso wa Seroma makgetho ebile o ipitsa gore ke Mesia wa rona, Kgosi.”
3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
Mme Pilatwe a mmotsa a re, “A o Mesia wa bone, Kgosi ya bone?” Jesu a fetola a re, “Ee, ke jaaka o bua.”
4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
Mme Pilatwe a retologela kwa baperesiting ba bagolo le kwa lesomong la batho a re, “Moo ga se molato!”
5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
Ba kgobega marapo ba re, “Mme o tsosa dipheretlhego kgatlhanong le mmuso gongwe le gongwe kwa o yang teng, mo Judea otlhe, go tswa Galalea, go ya Jerusalema!”
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.
Pilatwe a botsa a re, “A ke Moga lalea?”
7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
Mme ya re ba dumela, Pilatwe a re ba mo ise kwa go Kgosi Herode, gonne Galalea o ne a le ka fa tlase ga taolo ya ga Herode, mme Herode o ne a le mo Jerusalema ka lobaka loo.
8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
Herode o ne a itumelela sebaka seo sa go bona Jesu, gonne o ne a mo utlwaletse thata mme a solofetse go bona a dira kgakgamatso.
9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
A botsa Jesu dipotso ka go latelana, mme a se ka a fetola.
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
Mme ya re ka lobakanyana loo, baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba tumelo ba goa ba eme foo ba mmaya molato.
11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
Mme Herode le masole a gagwe ba simolola go sotla Jesu ba mo tshega; ba mo apesa seaparo sa segosi, ba mmusetsa kwa go Pilatwe.
12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
Mme ya re letsatsi leo Herode le Pilatwe ba ba kileng ba ne ba tlhoane pele, ba nna ditsala tse dikgolo.
13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Mme Pilatwe a phutha baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuta le batho,
14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
a bolela mogopolo wa gagwe a re, “Lo ntereditse monna yo, lo mmaya molato ka go tsosa khuduego kgatlhanong le mmuso wa Se-Roma. Mme ke mo tlhatlhobile sentle mo ntlheng e mme ga ke mmone molato ope.
15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
Herode le ene o mmuseditse kwano go rona, a sa mmona molato o o tshwanetseng loso.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
Jalo ke tlaa mo kgwathisa ka thupa e e mitlwa, ke bo ke mo golola.”
17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
Mme modumo o mogolo wa tsoga mo bathong ka lentswe le le lengwe ba re, “Mmolaye, o re gololele Barabase!”
18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
(Barabase o ne a le mo kgolegelong ka ntlha ya go simolola dipheretlhego mo Jerusalema kgatlhanong le mmuso le go bolaya batho).
20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
Mme Pilatwe a ganetsanya nabo, gonne o ne a batla go golola Jesu.
21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
Mme ba goa ba re, “Mmapole! Mmapole!”
22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
A bo a bua le bone la boraro a kopa a re, “Ka ntlha yang? O dirile molato ofe? Ga ke a bona lebaka lepe la go mo atlholela loso. Mme ke tlaa mo kgwathisa ke bo ke mo lesa a tsamaya.”
23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
Mme ba goela kwa godimodimo gore Jesu a bapolwe, mantswe a bone a bo a fenya.
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
Mme Pilatwe a atlholela Jesu loso jaaka ba lopile.
25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Mme a golola Barabase, ka fa kopong ya bone, monna yo o neng a tshwaretswe go feretlha le go bolaya batho. Mme Pilatwe a ba neela Jesu gore ba mo dire ka fa ba ratang ka teng.
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
Mme ya re bontsi jwa batho bo isa Jesu kwa o neng a ya go bolaelwa teng, ba bona Simone wa Mokurene yo e neng e le gone a gorogang mo Jerusalema a tswa kwa dikgaolong, mme ba mo pateletsa go ba sala morago, a sikere mokgoro wa ga Jesu.
27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
Bontsintsijwa batho jwa mo sala morago, le basadi ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba mo lelela ka kutlobotlhoko.
28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Mme Jesu a retologa a ba raya a re, “Bomorwadia Jerusalema, se nteleleng, iteleleng lo bo lo lelele bana ba lona.
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
Gonne malatsi a e tla, a basadi ba ba senang bana ba tlaa bidiwang ba ba sego tota.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
Batho ba tlaa lopa dithaba gore di ba wele di ba sugakanye le maje gore a ba khurumetse.
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
Gonne fa dilo tse di ntseng jaana di dirwa mo go nna Setlhare sa Botshelo, lona ba tlaa lo dira jang?”
32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
Dinokwane tse pedi di ne tsa tlisiwa go ya go bolawa nae kwa lefelong le le bidiwang “Logata.” Ka boraro jwa bone ba bapolwa, Jesu a le mo mokgorong o o fa gare, dinokwane tse pedi di le mo ditlhakoreng.
33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Mme Jesu a re, “Rara, itshwarele batho ba, gonne ga ba itse se ba se dirang.” Mme masole a kgaogana diaparo tsa gagwe ba di laola ka bola.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
Batho ba lebelela. Mme Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba sotla. Ba re, “O ne a siame thata go thusa ba bangwe, a re mmoneng a ipoloka fa e le gore ke ene tota yo o tlhophilweng ke Modimo go nna Mesia.”
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
Mme masole le one a mo sotla ka go mo nosa seno se se botlha sa mofine.
37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
Mme ba mo tlhaeletsa ba re, “Fa o le kgosi ya Bajuta, ipoloke!”
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Kitsiso ya pegwa mo mokgorong fa godimo ga gagwe ka mafoko a, “Yo ke Kgosi ya Bajuta.”
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Mongwe wa dinokwane yo o neng a pegilwe go bapa nae a sotla a re, “Wa re o Mesia, a ga o ene? Itshupe ka go ipoloka le rona o re boloke.”
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Mme senokwane se sengwe sa re, “A le Modimo ga o o boife, le fa o o swa? Re tshwanetse go swa ka ntlha ya ditiro tsa rona tse di bosula, mme monna yo ga a a dira sepe se se molato.”
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Mme a re, “Jesu, o nkgopole fa o tsena mo Bogosing jwa gago!”
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, Tsatsi jeno o tlaa nna le nna kwa Paradaiseng ke go solofetsa ka boammaaruri.
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Mme ya bo e setse e le motshegare wa sethoboloko; ga nna lefifi mo lefatshing lotlhe selekanyo sa oura tse tharo, go fitlha ka nako ya boraro.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
Letsatsi la fifala, mme ka tshoganetso sesiro sa Tempele sa gagoga ka bogare.
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
Mme Jesu a goa a re, “Rara, ke go neela mowa wa me.” Mme ka mafoko ao a swa.
47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
Ya re molaodi wa masole a Se-Roma yo o neng a laola polao ya bone a bona se se diragetseng, a tlelwa ke poifo fa pele ga Modimo a re, “Ruri monna yo o ne a sena molato.”
48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
Mme ya re bontsintsi jwa batho ba ba neng ba tsile go bona papolo ba bona Jesu a sule, ba boela magaeng ka kutlobotlhoko e kgolo.
49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
Mme ya re barutwa ba gagwe ba bona se se tla tlogang se direga ba goa ba re “Morena, a re ka lwa re tsile le dichaka.”
50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just:
Mme monna mongwe yo o bidiwang Josefa, leloko la Kgotla Kgolo ya Sejuta, wa motse wa Arimathea mo Judea, a ya kwa go Pilatwe a mo kopa setopo sa ga Jesu. E ne e le monna yo o boifang Modimo yo o neng a ntse a lebeletse go tla ga Mesia ebile o ne a ise a ke a dumalane le maikaelelo le dikgato tsa baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuta.
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; ) he was of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
Mme a folosa mmele wa ga Jesu a o phuthela ka letsela le le leele la lene mme a o baya mo lebitleng le lesha le le iseng le ke le dirisiwe, [le gabilwe mo lefikeng mo mhapheng wa thaba].
54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
Mo go ne ga diragala ka Labotlhano mo tshokologong ka letsatsi la iketleetso ya Sabata.
55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
Mme ya re setopo se tsewa, basadi ba ba neng ba tswa Galalea ba se sala morago, ba se bona se tsenngwa mo phupung.
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Mme ba ya magaeng go ya go baakanya malao le ditlolo go dibela setopo; mme ya re ba fetsa ga bo go le Sabata. Hong ba itapolosa letsatsi leo lotlhe ka fa molaong wa Sejuta.
