Luke 23
1 Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
U sac nufon tuyak ac pwanulla Jesus nu yorol Pilate,
2 And they began to accuse him, “This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is ‘Christ, a king.’”
ac mutawauk in fahk kas in tukakunul we: “Kut konauk mwet se inge ke el kiapu mwet lasr uh, ac fahk nu selos in tia moli tax nu sin Caesar, ac el oayapa fahk mu el pa Christ, sie tokosra!”
3 “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “It is true,” replied Jesus.
Ac Pilate el siyuk sel, “Ya kom pa tokosra lun mwet Jew?” Ac el fahk, “Kom fahk na.”
4 But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, “I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.”
Na Pilate el fahk nu sin mwet tol fulat ac un mwet uh, “Nga tia konauk sie sripa in nununkeyuk mwet se inge kac.”
5 But they insisted, “He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.”
Tusruk elos kwafe yohk liki meet ah, ac fahk, “Ke na luti lal uh el purakak tukulkul yohk inmasrlon mwet uh in acn Judea nufon. El tuh mutawauk Galilee, na pa inge el sun acn inge.”
6 Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
Ke Pilate el lohng ma inge, el siyuk selos, “Ya mwet se inge el mwet Galilee?”
7 and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.
Ke el etauk lah Jesus el mwet in acn se ma Herod el leumi, el supwalla nu yorol, mweyen Herod el oayapa oasr Jerusalem in pacl sac.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.
Herod el arulana insewowo ke el liyal Jesus, mweyen el lohng kacl, ac loes pacl ma el soano elan liyal. El finsrak mu Jesus elan oru kutu mwenmen elan liye.
9 So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
Ouinge Herod el siyuk mwe siyuk puspis sin Jesus, tusruktu wanginna top lun Jesus nu sel.
10 Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
Mwet tol fulat ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos kilukyak nu meet ac akyokye kas in tukak lalos lain Jesus.
11 And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Jesus with scorn; he mocked him by throwing a gorgeous robe around him, and then sent him back to Pilate.
Herod ac mwet mweun lal elos aksruksrukel Jesus ac aklusrongtenyal; tari elos nokmulang ke sie nuknuk na kato ac folokunulla nu yorol Pilate.
12 And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
Herod ac Pilate eltal kawukyak in len sacna, a meet eltal asrungai.
13 So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,
Pilate el solani kewa mwet tol fulat, mwet kol, ac mwet uh,
14 and said to them, “You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;
ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos use mwet se inge nu yuruk ac fahk mu el kiapwelana mwet uh. Inge nga srikal tari ye motowos, a nga tiana konauk mu oasr sufal lal ke kutena ma kowos fahk kacl uh.
15 nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
Oayapa Herod el tiana konauk mu oasr ma sufal lal, oru el folokunulma nu yorosr. Wanginna ma mwet se inge orala ma fal in anwuki el kac.
16 so I will have him scourged, and then release him.”
Ke ma inge, nga ac sang in sringsring el, tari nga fah tulalla. [
Ke pacl in Kufwen Alukela nukewa oasr oakwuk se lal Pilate in tulala sie mwet kapir ma mwet uh siyuk in taltalla.]
18 But they began to shout as one man, “Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.”
Ac un mwet nufon sac tukeni wowoyak ac fahk, “Unilya! Tulalla Barabbas nu sesr!” (
19 (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
Barabbas el muta in kapir ke sripen sie alein ma sikyak in siti uh lain government, oayapa ke sripen akmas ma el oru.)
20 Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
Pilate el kena aksukosokye Jesus, oru el sifilpa kusen siyuk nu sin mwet uh kac,
21 but they kept calling out, “Crucify, crucify him!”
a elos sifilpa wowoyak ac fahk, “Srupsrulak! Srupsrulak fin sakseng soko!”
22 “Why, what harm has this man done?” Pilate said to them for the third time. “I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.”
Pilate el sifil fahk pacl se aktolu, “Ku meawin ma koluk lal uh? Nga tia ku in konauk kutena ma lainul ma fal in anwuki el kac! Nga ac sang na in sringsring el, tari nga tulalla.”
23 But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamor gained the day.
Tusruk elos sikalang in wowoyak ke kuiyalos mu Jesus elan sripsripyak fin sakseng, nwe ke na wela siyuk lalos.
24 Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
Ouinge Pilate el wotela mu in wi ma elos siyuk uh.
25 He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.
El tulala mwet se ma elos siyuk in ikakla uh, mwet se ma tuh muta in kapir ke sripen alein ac akmas, ac el eisalang Jesus nu selos in oru oana ma elos lungse oru nu sel.
26 And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
Mwet mweun elos pwanul Jesus som, ac ke elos fahsr elos sun sie mwet Cyrene pangpang Simon, su fahsr in utyak nu in siti uh liki acn el muta we likin siti uh. Elos sruokilya, filiya sakseng soko ah nu facl, ac sap elan us fahsr tukun Jesus.
27 There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
Oasr sie un mwet na lulap wi pac fahsr tokol; inmasrlon mwet inge oasr pac kutu mutan su wowoyak ac tung ke Jesus.
28 So Jesus turned and said to them, “Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Jesus el forang nu selos ac fahk, “Mutan Jerusalem, nimet kowos tung keik, a keiwos sifacna ac ke tulik nutuwos an.
29 A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said – ‘Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!’
Oasr len ac tuku ke mwet uh ac fah fahk, ‘Insewowo mutan su talap, su tiana oswe tulik ku katiti!’
30 At that time people will begin to say to the mountains ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills ‘Cover us.’
Pacl se ingan pa mwet uh ac fahk nu ke eol uh, ‘Putati nu facsr!’ ac nu sin eol srisrik uh, ‘Wikinkutla!’
31 If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
Tuh fin pa inge ma ac orek nu ke sak folfol insroa, faska ma ac orek nu ke sak paola uh?”
32 There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
Oasr pac mwet luo saya, kewana mwet orekma koluk, wi pac pwenyukla in tuh wi Jesus anwuki.
33 When they had reached the place called ‘The Skull,’ there they crucified Jesus and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left.
Ke elos tuku nu ke acn se pangpang “Sri in Ahlunsuf” elos patkilya Jesus nu fin sakseng soko, oayapa mwet koluk luo ah, sie layen layot ac sie layen lasa sel.
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.” His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
Jesus el fahk, “Papa, nunak munas nu selos, tuh elos tia etu ma elos oru uh.” Elos kitalik nuknuk lal inmasrlolos ke susfa.
35 Meanwhile the people stood looking on. Even the leading men said with a sneer, “He saved others, let him save himself, if he is God’s Christ, his chosen one.”
Mwet uh tu na liye ma uh ke mwet kol lun mwet Jew elos aksruksrukel ac fahk: “El molela mwet saya uh — lela elan sifacna molella, fin pwaye el pa Christ se ma God El sulela uh!”
36 The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
Mwet mweun uh oayapa aksruksrukel. Elos tuku nu yorol ac sang wain vinegar nu sel,
37 and saying as they did so, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
ac fahk, “Sifacna molikomla, fin pwaye kom tokosra lun mwet Jew.”
38 Above him were the words – ‘THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
Kas inge simla oan lucng liki sifal, “El inge Tokosra lun mwet Jew.”
39 One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us,” he said.
Sie sin mwet koluk ma wi sripsripyak uh fahk kas in angonkas nu sin Jesus: “Mea, tia kom pa Christ? Molikomla sifacna, ac kital uh!”
40 But the other rebuked him. “Haven’t you,” he said, “any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
A mwet se ngia kael ac fahk, “Ku kom tia sangeng sin God? Kom welul eis kain kaiyuk sefanna.
41 And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
Fal ma orek nu sik kom uh, mweyen kut eis lacnen orekma koluk lasr. A el, wangin kutena ma koluk el oru.”
42 Jesus,” he went on, “do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.”
Na el fahk nu sin Jesus, “Jesus, esamyu ke kom tuku ke ku lun Tokosra!”
43 And Jesus answered, “I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.”
Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Pwayena nga fahk nu sum, misenge na kom ac wiyu in Paradise.”
44 It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,
Ke apkuran nu ke infulwen len, in polo acn sac nufon lohsrla ke lusen ao tolu.
45 the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
Kalmen faht uh wanginla, ac nuknuk lisringyen Acn Mutal Na Mutal ke Tempul uh mihsalik infulwa, ip luo lac.
46 Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” And with these words he expired.
Jesus el wola ke sie pusra lulap ac fahk, “Papa! Nga asot ngunik nu inpoum!” El fahkla ma inge, na el misa.
47 The Roman centurion, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, “This must have been a good man!”
Mwet kol lun un mwet mweun el liye ma sikyak inge, ac el kaksakin God ac fahk, “Pwayena mwet se inge el sie mwet na suwohs!”
48 All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
Ke mwet ma fahsreni in tuh intoein ma orek uh liye ma sikyak inge, elos nukewa usruk kwawalos ac folokelik nu lohm selos ac arulana asor.
49 All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
Ac mwet kawuk nukewa lun Jesus, wi mutan ma welul tuku Galilee me, elos tu loes kutu ac liye ma inge.
50 Now there was a man of the name of Joseph, who was a member of the Council, and who bore a good and upright character.
Oasr mukul se, inel pa Joseph mwet Arimathea, sie siti in acn Judea. El sie mwet wo ac suwoswos, su sie sin mwet ke Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat lun mwet Jew.
51 (This man had not assented to the decision and action of the Council.) He belonged to Arimathea, a town in Judea, and lived in expectation of the kingdom of God.
Tusruktu el tia insese nu ke pwapa lalos ku ma elos oru uh, ac el tupan tuku lun Tokosrai lun God.
52 He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
El tuh som nu yorol Pilate ac siyuk ke monin Jesus.
53 and, when he had taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet, and laid him in a tomb cut out of stone, in which no one had yet been buried.
Na el sruhkya manol, pwela ke nuknuk linen se, ac filiya in sie kulyuk su pukpukyak in eot uh, ma soenna oasr mwet misa filiyuki loac.
54 It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.
Len sac pa Friday, ac apkuranyang nu ke len Sabbath.
55 The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
Mutan ma tuh welul Jesus tuku Galilee me elos welul Joseph in liye kulyuk sac, ac oayapa in liye onangan mano sac.
56 and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment.
Na elos folokla nu lohm elos muta we, ac mutawauk in akoela ono ac mwe keng nu ke mano sac. Elos mongla ke len Sabbath, oana ke oakwuk lun Ma Sap uh.
