Luke 23
1 Then the whole assembly arose and led Jesus to Pilate.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩgĩũkĩra, gĩkĩmũtwara kũrĩ Pilato.
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, declaring himself to be Christ, a king.”
Nakĩo gĩkĩambĩrĩria kũmũthitanga gĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtuonete mũndũ ũyũ akĩhĩtithia rũrĩrĩ rwitũ. Nĩakararagia ũhoro wa kũrutĩra Kaisari igooti na agetuaga atĩ nĩwe Kristũ, na nĩ mũthamaki.”
3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ũguo woiga nĩguo.”
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no fault in this man.”
Nake Pilato akĩĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na andũ acio angĩ atĩrĩ, “Ndikuona ũndũ ingĩthitangĩra mũndũ ũyũ.”
5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
Nao magĩthiĩ na mbere kuuga magwatĩirie atĩrĩ, “Nĩatũmĩte andũ mookanĩrĩre Judea guothe nĩ ũndũ wa ũrutani wake. Aambĩrĩirie Galili na nĩokĩte nginya o gũkũ.”
6 When Pilate heard mention of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
Pilato aigua ũguo, akĩũria kana mũndũ ũcio nĩ wa kuuma Galili.
7 And when he found out that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days.
Rĩrĩa aamenyire atĩ Jesũ aarĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa wathanagwo nĩ Herode, akiuga atwarwo kũrĩ Herode, ũrĩa wakoretwo arĩ Jerusalemu ihinda-inĩ rĩu.
8 When Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard many things about him and was hoping to see him perform some sign.
Rĩrĩa Herode oonire Jesũ, nĩakenire mũno, tondũ kwa ihinda iraaya nĩakoretwo akĩenda kũmuona. Kũringana na ũrĩa aiguĩte ũhoro wake, aarĩ na mwĩhoko wa kũmuona akĩringa ciama.
9 So he questioned him at great length, but Jesus gave him no answer.
Akĩũria Jesũ ciũria nyingĩ, nowe Jesũ ndaigana kũmũcookeria o na kĩmwe.
10 Meanwhile, the chief priests and the scribes stood there, vehemently accusing him.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho maarũgamĩte hau, makĩmũthitanga magwatĩirie mũno.
11 Herod also treated him with contempt and mocked him, as did his soldiers. Then, after dressing Jesus in fine clothing, Herod sent him back to Pilate.
Nake Herode na thigari ciake makĩmũthekerera na makĩmũnyũrũria. Makĩmũhumba nguo yarĩ thaka, na makĩmũcookia kũrĩ Pilato.
12 That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with one another; previously they had been enemies.
Nao Herode na Pilato magĩtuma ũrata mũthenya ũcio, tondũ mbere ĩyo maatũũrĩte marĩ ũthũ.
13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Pilato agĩĩta athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na aathani, na andũ hamwe,
14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And behold, after examining him before you, I have found no fault in this man with respect to the accusations you are making against him,
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũndeheire mũndũ ũyũ atĩ nĩ mũndũ ũhĩtithagia andũ. Na niĩ ndatuĩria ũhoro wake mũrĩ ho, no ndirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndoona wa maũndũ marĩa mũmũthitangĩire.
15 and neither has Herod, for I sent you to him. Clearly he has done nothing that deserves death.
O nake Herode ndanamuona arĩ na mahĩtia, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũcookia kũrĩ ithuĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ndarĩ ũndũ ekĩte wa gũtũma ooragwo.
16 Therefore I will have him flogged and then release him.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmũhũũrithia, njooke ndĩmũrekererie.” (
17 Now each year at the feast Pilate was obligated to release one prisoner for the people.
Nĩgũkorwo, kwarĩ mũtugo amohorere mũndũ ũmwe hĩndĩ ĩyo ya Iruga.)
18 So they all cried out together, “Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!”
No andũ acio makĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo ũmwe, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Twehererie mũndũ ũyũ! Tuohorere Baraba!” (
19 (This was a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection that had taken place in the city, and for murder.)
Baraba aikĩtio njeera nĩ ũndũ wa kũrutithia ngũĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũũragana.)
20 Wishing to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
Nake Pilato, tondũ nĩeendaga kũrekereria Jesũ, akĩmaarĩria o rĩngĩ.
21 but they kept on shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!”
No-o magĩthiĩ na mbere kwanĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ! Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ!”
22 A third time he said to them, “Why? What evil has he done? I have found in him no grounds for death. So I will have him flogged and then release him.”
Nake akĩmooria riita rĩa gatatũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩ? Nĩ ũũru ũrĩkũ mũndũ ũyũ eekĩte? Ndionete gĩtũmi gĩa gũtũma ooragwo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmũhũũrithia, njooke ndĩmuohore.”
23 But they continued insistently with loud voices, demanding that he be crucified, and their voices prevailed, along with those of the chief priests.
No-o makĩanĩrĩra mategũtigithĩria makiugaga aambwo mũtĩ-igũrũ, nayo mĩgambo ĩyo yao ĩkĩhootana.
24 So Pilate rendered his decision that their demand be granted.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato agĩtua nĩekũmahingĩria o ũguo moorĩtie.
25 He released the man they had been asking for, who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he handed Jesus over to their will.
Akĩohora mũndũ ũcio waikĩtio njeera nĩ ũndũ wa kũrutithia ngũĩ na kũũragana, o ũcio moigĩte mohorerwo, nake Pilato akĩneana Jesũ ekwo kũringana na ũrĩa mendaga.
26 As the soldiers led him away, they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenian man who was coming in from the countryside, and they laid on him the cross, forcing him to carry it behind Jesus.
Na rĩrĩa thigari cioimagaragia Jesũ, ikĩnyiita mũndũ woimaga mĩgũnda-inĩ wetagwo Simoni wa kuuma Kurene. Nacio ikĩmũigĩrĩra mũtharaba wa Jesũ aũkuue na amuume thuutha.
27 A great multitude of people followed along behind, including women who were mourning and lamenting for Jesus.
Andũ gĩkundi kĩnene makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, hamwe na atumia maagirĩkaga na makarĩra mũno.
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra na kũrĩ o, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ aarĩ a Jerusalemu, tigai kũndĩrĩra; mwĩrĩrĩrei inyuĩ ene na ciana cianyu.
29 For behold, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that have not given birth, and the breasts that have not nursed!’
Nĩgũkorwo kũrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgooka rĩrĩa mũkoigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ atumia arĩa thaata, na nda iria itarĩ ciaciara, o na nyondo iria itarĩ ciongwo!’
30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
Hĩndĩ ĩyo “‘nĩmakeera irĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩrei!” o na macooke meere tũrĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũhumbĩrei!”’
31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, andũ mangĩkorwo nĩmareeka maũndũ maya rĩrĩa mũtĩ ũrĩ mũigũ-rĩ, gũgakĩhaana atĩa woma?”
32 Now two others, who were criminals, were also being led away to be put to death with Jesus.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ angĩ eerĩ ageri ngero, o nao nĩmatwarirwo hamwe nake makooragwo.
33 When they came to the place called the Skull, the soldiers crucified him there along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.
Rĩrĩa maakinyire karĩma-inĩ handũ heetagwo Ihĩndĩ-rĩa-Mũtwe, makĩmwamba ho hamwe na ageri ngero acio, ũmwe mwena wake wa ũrĩo, na ũrĩa ũngĩ mwena wake wa ũmotho.
34 But Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Then they cast lots to divide his garments.
Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba mohere, nĩgũkorwo matiũĩ ũrĩa mareeka.” Nao magĩcuukĩra nguo ciake mĩtĩ, magĩcigayana.
35 The people stood there looking on, and the rulers who were with them ridiculed him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ, the Chosen One of God.”
Nao andũ nĩmarũgamĩte hau makĩmwĩrorera: Nao anene nĩmamũnyũrũragia makoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩarahonokagia andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩehonokie aakorwo nĩwe Kristũ wa Ngai, Ũrĩa wake Mũthuure.”
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up to him and offering him sour wine,
Thigari o nacio igĩũka, ikĩmũnyũrũria. Ikĩmũkundia thiki,
37 saying, “If yoʋ are the king of the Jews, save yoʋrself!”
ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Akorwo nĩwe Mũthamaki wa Ayahudi, wĩhonokie.”
38 There was also an inscription over him written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, which read: “This is the King of the Jews.”
Na nĩ haarĩ maandĩko maandĩkĩtwo igũrũ rĩake atĩrĩ: ŨYŨ NĨWE MŨTHAMAKI WA AYAHUDI.
39 One of the criminals who was hanging there reviled him, saying, “If yoʋ are the Christ, save yoʋrself and us!”
Ũmwe wa ageri ngero acio maambanĩirio nake akĩmũruma, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ wee tiwe Kristũ? Wĩhonokie, na ũtũhonokie!”
40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do yoʋ not even fear God, seeing that yoʋ are under the same condemnation?
No mũgeri ngero ũcio ũngĩ akĩmũkaania, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩĩtigĩra Ngai, kuona atĩ ũtuĩrĩirwo o ũrĩa atuĩrĩirwo?
41 The two of us are justly condemned, for we are receiving the appropriate punishment for the things we have done, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
Ithuĩ tũherithĩtio na kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo tũraherithĩrio ũrĩa twĩkĩte. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũyũ ndarĩ ũndũ mũũru ekĩte.”
42 Then he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Lord, when yoʋ come in yoʋr kingdom.”
Agĩcooka akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra gũkandirikana rĩrĩa ũgooka ũthamaki-inĩ waku.”
43 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to yoʋ, today yoʋ will be with me in Paradise.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũkwĩra na ma, ũmũthĩ nĩũrĩkorwo hamwe na niĩ ikenero.”
44 Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ ta thaa thita cia mũthenya, naguo bũrũri wothe ũkĩgĩa nduma nginya thaa kenda,
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
tondũ riũa nĩrĩatigire kwara. Nakĩo gĩtambaya kĩa hekarũ gĩgĩatũkana maita meerĩ.
46 Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Father, into yoʋr hands I commit my spirit.” After saying this, he breathed his last breath.
Nake Jesũ akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, roho wakwa ndaũiga moko-inĩ maku.” Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩtuĩkana.
47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God and said, “Surely this man was righteous.”
Rĩrĩa mũnene wa gĩkundi gĩa thigari igana oonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, akĩgooca Ngai, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itheru ũyũ oima mũndũ mũthingu.”
48 And when all the crowds who had gathered together for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.
Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa othe maarũgamĩte hau kwĩrorera moonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, makĩinũka methikĩire, na makĩĩhũũraga ithũri nĩ kĩeha.
49 But all those who knew Jesus stood at a distance watching these things, including the women who had followed him from Galilee.
No arĩa othe maamũũĩ, o hamwe na atumia arĩa maamũrũmĩrĩire kuuma Galili, makĩrũgama o haraaya, meroreire maũndũ macio.
50 Now there was a good and righteous man named Joseph, who was a member of the council
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ haarĩ na mũndũ wetagwo Jusufu, mũthuuri wa Kĩama, na aarĩ mũndũ mwega na mũrũngĩrĩru,
51 but had not consented to their decision and action. He was from Arimathea, a town of the Jews, and was himself also waiting for the kingdom of God.
nake ndetĩkanĩtie na ũguo maatuĩte na mageeka. Oimĩte itũũra rĩa Arimathea, bũrũri wa Judea, na nĩetagĩrĩra ũthamaki wa Ngai.
52 He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
Nake agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Pilato, akĩhooya etĩkĩrio akuue mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ.
53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb hewn in a rock, where no one had ever been laid.
Nake agĩcuurũria mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ mũtharaba-inĩ, akĩũkũnja na taama wa gatani, agĩcooka akĩũiga thĩinĩ wa mbĩrĩra yenjetwo rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga, nayo ndĩakoretwo ĩigĩtwo mũndũ.
54 It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was approaching.
Na mũthenya ũcio warĩ wa Ihaarĩria, nayo Thabatũ yarĩ hakuhĩ kwambĩrĩria.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed along behind and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.
Nao atumia arĩa moimĩte na Jesũ Galili makĩrũmĩrĩra Jusufu, makĩona mbĩrĩra na makĩona ũrĩa mwĩrĩ wake waigirwo ho.
56 Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. But they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
Magĩcooka makĩinũka, makĩhaarĩria mahuti manungi wega na maguta manungi wega. No rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa Thabatũ makĩhurũka kũringana na ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo.
