Luke 23
1 Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
Bhai likundi lyowe, gubhajimingene, nikwaapeleka a Yeshu kwa a Pilato.
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.’”
Gubhatandubhenje kwaashitakiya bhalinkutinji, “Bhene bhandubha bhatendaga kwaapuganyanga bhandunji bhetu, bhalikwalimbiyanga kulipa koli kwa a Kaishali na bhalikwiishema a Kilishitu na a mpalume.”
3 “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “It is true,” replied Jesus.
A Pilato gubhaabhushiye a Yeshu, “Mmwe a mpalume bha Bhayaudi?” A Yeshu gubhaajangwile “Mmwe ni nkubheleketa.”
4 But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, “I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.”
A Pilato gubhaabhalanjilenje ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na lugwinjili lwa bhandu, “Ngakushibhona shibhalebhile abha bhandubha.”
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.”
Ikabheje na bhalabhonji gubhapundilenje kukwiya bhalinkutinji, “Bhanakwiya nnjasha kwa majiganyo gabho nshilambo showe sha ku Yudea, kundubhila ku Galilaya, mpaka apano.”
6 Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
A Pilato bhakapilikaneje genego gubhabhushiye, “Bhuli, abha bhandubha bha ku Galilaya?”
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.
Bhakamumanyeje kuti a Yeshu bhaliji mu Ukulungwa gwa a Elode, gubhaapeleshe kwa a Elode, pabha gene mobhago pubhaliji pa Yelushalemu pepala.
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.
A Elode guyaanonyele bhakaabhoneje a Yeshu. Pabha bhapilikene ngani jabho, kwa nneyo kwa mobha gamagwinji bhatendaga loleya kwaabhona. Na kabhili bhatendaga pinga bhaabhone bhalitenda ilangulo.
9 So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
Bhai, a Elode gubhakabhile nkwabhuya, ikabheje a Yeshu bhangaajangula shoshowe.
10 Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
Ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na bhaajandika bha shalia, gubhajimingene nkukong'ondela mashitaka gabhonji kwa kakati.
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.
Bhai, a Elode na ashimanjola bhabho, gubhaalembulenje a Yeshu nikwatendela mbenji, kungai gubhaawashiyenje lijoo lya Upalume, gubhabhujilenabhonji kwa a Pilato.
12 And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
A Elode na a Pilato bhukala pubhalinginji bhamagongo, kutandubhila lyene lyubhalyo gubhalinginji bhambwiga.
13 So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,
Bhai, a Pilato gubhashemile shitamo sha ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na ashikalongolele bhana bha bhandunji,
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;
gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nshimbeleshelanga abha bhandubha kuti, bhanaapuganya bhandu. Ngakagulileje lyene lilobheli pameyo genunji, nangashibhona shibhalebhile shilingana na mashitaka genunji.
15 nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
Numbe nngabha nne jikape, ikabhe nkali a Elode bhangashibhona shoshowe shibhalebhile, nigubhamujishiye. Pabha abha bhandubha shakwapi shibhatendile shapinjikwa bhaukumulwe kubhulagwa.
16 so I will have him scourged, and then release him.”
Kwa nneyo shinajile bhakomwe ibhoko, kungai shinaaleshelele.”
Pabha bhashinkupinjikwa kwaagopolelanga nkutabhwa jumo lyubha lya shikukuu.
18 But they began to shout as one man, “Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.”
Ikabheje bhowe gwaajobhelenje gwanakamo, “Mwaabhulaje abho, ntugopolele a Bhalabha!”
19 (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
A Bhalabha bhashinkutabhwa kwa ligongo lya nnjasha yatendeshe pa shilambo na ligongo lya bhulaga bhandu.
20 Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
A Pilato bhapinjile kwaaleshelela a Yeshu, bhai gubhakungulwishe kabhili na bhandunji,
21 but they kept calling out, “Crucify, crucify him!”
ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhapundilenje jobhela, “Mwaakomele munshalabha, mwaakomele munshalabha!”
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.”
A Pilato gubhaabhalanjilenje gwatatu, “Bhalebhile nndi? Ngakushibhona shoshowe shibhalebhile shapinjikwa bhabhulagwe, kwa nneyo shindume bhakomwe ibhoko, naaleshelele.”
23 But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamor gained the day.
Ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhapundilenje kujobhela, kuti a Yeshu bhanapinjikwa bhakomelwe munshalabha. Kungai, malobhe gabhonji gugapilikanishe.
24 Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
Bhai a Pilato gubhaukumwile kuti, itendeshe malinga shibhapinjilenje.
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.
Gubhaaleshelele a Bhalabha bhatabhilwe kwa ligongo lya nnjasha na bhulaga bhandu. Gubhaakamwiye a Yeshu kwa ashimanjola, bhaatendelanje malinga shibhapingangaga.
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.
Bhalinginji nkwaapeleka, gubhaimikenenje naka mundu jumo ashemwaga Shimoni jwa ku Kilene, alikopoka kunngunda. Bhai, gubhankamwilenje, gubhantwishilenje nshalabha gula aujigale nnyuma ja a Yeshu.
27 There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
Bhandunji, makundi kwa makundi gubhaakagulenje, munkumbimo bhapalinji bhanabhakongwe bhaagutilangaga ililo.
28 So Jesus turned and said to them, “Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
A Yeshu gubhaatendebhushilenje, gubhashite, “Mmanganya ashinabhiti bha pa Yelushalemu! Nnang'utilanje nne, ikabhe mwiigutilanje mwaashayene na ashibhana bhenu.
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!’
Pabha, shigaishe mobha pushimmeleketanje, mbaya ashinannii na bhakanabhe kolanga wala kujonjeya!
30 At that time people will begin to say to the mountains ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills ‘Cover us.’
Penepo, bhandunji shibhailugululanje itumbi, ‘Ntugwilanje!’ Na ijomboya, ‘Ntuunishilanje’!
31 If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
Ibhaga bhandunji bhakuutendelanga nnei nkongo gwa mmii, shiibhe bhuli kwa nkongo gwa nnjumu?”
32 There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
Bhandunji bhana bhabhili bhaalebhanga, bhashinkupelekwanga bhabhulagwanje pamo na a Yeshu.
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.
Bhakaikanganeje pashemwaga, Shibhanga sha Ntwe, penepo gubhaakomelenje munshalabha a Yeshu na bhandunji bhabhili bhaalebhanga bhala, jumo kunkono nnilo, na juna kunkono nshinda.
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.” His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
A Yeshu gubhashite, “Atati mwaaleshelelanje, pabha bhakakwimanyanga ibhatendanga.” Gubhagebhenenje nngubho yabho kwa tendela shikoma.
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.”
Bhandunji gubhajimingene bhalilosheyanga. Na bhalabhonji ashikalongolele bha Shiyaudi gubhaatendelenje mbenji bhalinkutinji, “Bhashikwatapulanga bhananji, nnaino bhaitapule bhayene, monaga bhenebha bhali a Kilishitu bha a Nnungu!”
36 The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
Ashimanjola nneyo peyo gubhaatendelenje mbenji a Yeshu, gubhaajendelenje nikwaapa divai ja shashama bhapapile,
37 and saying as they did so, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
bhalinkutinji, “Monaga mmwe nni A mpalume bha Bhayaudi, mwiitapule mmayene.”
38 Above him were the words – ‘THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
Na pantundu nshalabha gwabho pashinkujandikwa mmbila “BHENEBHA A MPALUME BHA BHAYAUDI.”
39 One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us,” he said.
Na nkulebha jumo akomelwe munshalabha jula, gwabhatukene alinkuti, “Bhuli, igala mmwe nngati a Kilishitu? Bhai mwiitapule mmayene, ntutapule na uwe.”
40 But the other rebuked him. “Haven’t you,” he said, “any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
Ikabheje nkulebha juna jula gwankalipile mwine alinkuti, “Ugwe ukakwaajogopa a Nnungu? Numbe uli na ukumu jojo.
41 And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
Uwe tushiukumulwa kwa aki, kwa itendi yetu. Ikabheje abha bhandubha shakwapi shoshowe shibhalebhile.”
42 Jesus,” he went on, “do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.”
Kungai nigwashite, “Mmwe a Yeshu! Nngumbushile pushinnjinjile mu Upalume gwenupo.”
43 And Jesus answered, “I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.”
A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Kweli ngunakuubhalanjila, lelope shuubhe na nne kupaladisho.”
44 It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,
Puyaaliji malanga ga shaa shita ja mui, lubhindu lukutabhaga shilambo showe mpaka shaa tisha,
45 the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
na lukulungushi lwa Nniekalu lukupapukaga ipande ibhili.
46 Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” And with these words he expired.
A Yeshu gubhagutile kwa utiya, “Atati, mmakono genu ngunabhika mbumu yangu.” Bhakamaliyeje kubheleketa genego gubhamalile.
47 The Roman centurion, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, “This must have been a good man!”
Penepo, bhakulungwa bha ashimanjola bhala bhakagabhoneje gatendeshe gala, gubhaaniye a Nnungu bhalinkuti, “Kweli abha bhandubha pubhaliji bha aki.”
48 All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
Bhandu bhowe bhaikengene pepala kulolesheya genego, bhakagabhonanjeje gene gatendeshe gala, gubhabhujilengene kunngwabhonji, bhalikwikomanga pantima nkuinjika.
49 All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
Ashambwiga ajabho a Yeshu, na bhanabhakongwe bhakagulangaga kukopoka ku Galilaya, gubhajimingene kwa talika bhalilolesheyanga genego.
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.
Bhai bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo lina lyabho a Yoshepu, bhaliji bhanguja na bha aki. Pubhaliji bha lukumbi lukulu lwa Bhayaudi,
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.
ikabheje bhenebho bhanganonyelwa na ukumu na itendi ya ashikalongolele ajabho. Bhenebha pubhaliji bhashilambo bha ku Alimataya shilambo sha Bhayaudi. Na bhatendaga lindilila kuika kwa Upalume gwa a Nnungu kwa nnolelo nkulu.
52 He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
A Yoshepu gubhaajendele a Pilato, gubhajujile bhapegwe shiilu sha a Yeshu.
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.
Kungai gubhatulwiye shiilu munshalabha, gubhailijilile shanda ja kitani ja mmbone, gubhabhishile nnikabhuli lyaolilwe nnindandawe likulungwa, lyaliji likanabhe shikwa mundu.
54 It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.
Pulyaaliji lyubha lya kolokoya indu ya Lyubha lya Pumulila, na pulyaaliji tome na tandubha.
55 The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
Bhanabhakongwe bhajilengene pamo na a Yeshu kukopoka ku Galilaya, gubhaakagwilenje a Yoshepu, gubhaliweninji likabhuli na shibhashite kwaashika a Yeshu.
56 and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment.
Kungai, gubhabhujengene kumui, gubhajenjilenje mauta ga nunjila ga kwenda pakaya shiilu sha a Yeshu. Lyubha lya Pumulila, gubhapumulilenje malinga shiyalajilwe na shalia.
