Luke 23
1 Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
Ary ny olona rehetra nitsangana ka nitondra an’ i Jesosy tany amin’ i Pilato,
2 They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
dia niampanga Azy ka nanao hoe: Ilehity hitanay nampiodina ny firenenay sady nandrara tsy handoa hetra ho an’ i Kaisara ka nilaza ny tenany ho Kristy Mpanjaka.
3 Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
Ary Pilato nanontany Azy hoe: Hianao va no Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy? Ary Izy namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Voalazanao.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
Dia hoy Pilato tamin’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny vahoaka: Tsy hitako izay helok’ ity Lehilahy ity.
5 But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
Fa vao mainka nandentika ireo ka nanao hoe: Nampiodina ny olona Izy sady nampianatra eran’ i Jodia rehetra, nanomboka hatrany Galilia ka hatraty.
6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
Raha nandre izany Pilato, dia nanontany raha olona avy any Galilia Jesosy.
7 When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
Ary rehefa fantany fa avy tamin’ ny tany tapahin’ i Heroda Izy, dia nampanatitra Azy tany amin’ i Heroda izy, fa tany Jerosalema koa Heroda tamin’ izany andro izany.
8 [So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
Ary faly dia faly Heroda, raha nahita an’ i Jesosy; fa efa naniry ela hahita Azy izy, satria efa nandre ny aminy ary nanantena hahita famantarana hataony.
9 So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
Ary izy nanontany Azy teny maro; fa tsy namaly teny azy akory Jesosy.
10 The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
Ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna nijanona teo dia nitompo teny fatratra hiampanga Azy.
11 Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
Ary Heroda sy ny miaramilany namingavinga Azy ka nanao Azy ho fihomehezana, dia nampiakanjo Azy akanjo tsara ka namerina Azy tany amin’ i Pilato.
12 Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
Ary tonga nisakaiza Heroda sy Pilato tamin’ izany andro izany; kanefa nifandrafy izy roa lahy talohan’ izany.
13 Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
Ary rehefa nasain’ i Pilato novorina ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny mpanapaka ary ny vahoaka,
14 He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
dia hoy izy taminy: Entinareo atỳ amiko ity Lehilahy ity toy ny nampiodina ny vahoaka; ary, indro, efa nanadina Azy teto anatrehanareo aho, nefa tsy hitako izay helok’ ity Lehilahy ity amin’ izay iampanganareo Azy.
15 [Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
Tsia, na dia Heroda koa aza, fa namerina Azy hoy amintsika izy; ary, indro, tsy nisy zavatra nataony izay tokony hahafaty Azy;
16 So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
koa hofaizako Izy, dia halefako.
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
Fa izy rehetra niantso mafy indray miredona nanao hoe: Vonoy Io, ka Barabasy no alefaso ho anay!
19 Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
Nefa natao tao an-tranomaizina io Barabasy io noho ny fikomiana tao an-tanàna sy ny vonoan-olona.
20 Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
Ary satria tian’ i Pilato halefa Jesosy, dia niteny indray izy.
21 But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
Fa ny olona niantso kosa ka nanao hoe: Homboy, homboy amin’ ny hazo fijaliana Izy!
22 He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Fa hoy izy taminy fanintelony: Ka inona ary no ratsy nataony: tsy hitako izay helony tokony hahafaty Azy koa hofaizako Izy, dia halefako.
23 But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
Fa niantso tamin’ ny feo mafy ny olona ka nangataka hanomboana an’ i Jesosy amin’ ny hazo fijaliana. Ary nahery ny feon’ ny olona.
24 Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
Ary Pilato dia nandidy hanao izay nangatahiny.
25 The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
Ary dia nalefany ilay natao tao an-tranomaizina noho ny fikomiana sy ny vonoan-olona, satria io no nangatahiny; fa Jesosy kosa natolony hataony araka ny sitrapony.
26 As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
Ary raha nitondra an’ i Jesosy izy, dia nitana lehilahy Kyreniana anankiray atao hoe Simona, izay vao avy any an-tsaha, ka nampitondra iny ny hazo fijaliana hanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
27 A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy ary vehivavy maro izay niteha-tratra sady nitomany Azy.
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
Fa Jesosy nitodika azy ka nanao hoe: Ry zanakavavin’ i Jerosalema, aza mitomany Ahy, fa mitomania ny tenanareo sy ny zanakareo.
29 I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
Fa, indro, ho avy ny andro izay hilazany hoe: Sambatra ny momba sy ny kibo izay tsy niteraka ary ny nono izay tsy ninonoan-jaza.
30 Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
Dia hilaza amin’ ny tendrombohitra hoe izy: Mianjerà aminay; ary amin’ ny havoana hoe: Saròny izahay.
31 [I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
Fa raha ataony amin’ ny hazo maitso izany hatao ahoana amin’ ny maina?
32 Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
Ary nisy olon-dratsy roa lahy nentina hiaraka hovonoina aminy koa.
33 When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ ny tany atao hoe Ikarandoha izy, dia teo no namonoany an’ i Jesosy sy ireo olon-dratsy ireo, ny anankiray teo ankavanany ary ny anankiray teo ankaviany.
34 Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
Ary hoy Jesosy: Raiko ô, mamelà ny helony, fa tsy fantany izay ataony. Dia nanaovany loka no fizara ny fitafiany.
35 Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
Ary ny olona nijanona teo ka nijery. Ary ny loholona kosa mba nandatsa ka nanao hoe: Namonjy ny sasany Izy; aoka hovonjeny ny tenany, raha Izy no Kristin’ Andriamanitra, dia Ilay nofidina.
36 The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
Ary ny miaramila koa nihomehy Azy, dia nankeo ka nanome Azy vinaingitra,
37 They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
sady nanao hoe: Raha Hianao no Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy, vonjeo ny tenanao.
38 [They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
Ary nisy soratra teo amboniny nanao hoe: ITY NO MPANJAKAN’ NY JIOSY.
39 One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ireo olon-dratsy nahantona teo ireo dia niteny ratsy Azy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Hianao va no Kristy? vonjeo ny tenanao sy izahay.
40 But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
Fa namaly kosa ilay anankiray, sady nananatra ny namany ka nanao hoe: Moa ianao koa tsy mba matahotra an’ Andriamanitra na dia izao samy voaheloka izao aza?
41 They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
Ary marina ny anamelohany antsika, satria mandray ny valin’ ny nataontsika isika; fa ity Lehilahy ity kosa tsy mbola nanao zavatra tsy mety na dia kely akory aza.
42 Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
Ary hoy izy: Jesosy ô, tsarovy aho, rehefa avy amin’ ny fanjakanao Hianao.
43 Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminao marina tokoa: Anio no hihaonanao amiko any Paradisa.
44 [Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Ary rehefa tokony ho tamin’ ny ora fahenina, dia maizina ny tany rehetra ka naharitra hatramin’ ny ora fahasivy izany,
45 There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
satria nihamaizina ny masoandro, ary triatra misasaka ny efitra lamba teo amin’ ny tempoly.
46 [As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
Ary niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Raiko ô, eo an-tananao no atolotro ny fanahiko; ary rehefa niteny izany Izy, dia afaka ny ainy.
47 When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
Ary ny kapiteny, raha nahita izay zavatra tonga teo, dia nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Lazaiko tokoa fa marina io Lehilahy io.
48 When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra izay vory teo mba hijery izany, raha nahita ny zavatra tonga teo, dia niverina miteha-tratra.
49 All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
Fa ny olom-pantany rehetra sy ny vehivavy izay nanaraka Azy avy tany Galilia dia nijanona teny lavidavitra eny nijery izany zavatra izany.
50 There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy atao hoe Josefa, izay isan’ ny Synedriona, dia lehilahy tsara fanahy sady marina.
51 But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
Izany lehilahy izany tsy nanaiky ny hevitra sy ny nataon’ ny sasany; avy tany Arimatia, tanànan’ ny Jiosy, izy sady niandry ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
52 He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
Izany lehilahy izany dia nankao amin’ i Pilato ka nangataka ny fatin’ i Jesosy.
53 he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
Dia nampidininy ny faty ka nofonosiny hariry madinika, dia naleviny tao amin’ ny fasana nolavahana tamin’ ny vatolampy, izay tsy mbola nandevenana olona.
54 [They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
Ary andro fiomanana izany andro izany, ka efa antomotra ny Sabata.
55 The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
Ary ny vehivavy izay nomba Azy avy tany Galilia dia nanaraka teo aoriana ka nahita ny fasana sy izay fampandriny ny faty.
56 Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
Ary niverina ireo ka namboatra zava-manitra sy menaka manitra. Ary tamin’ ny Sabata dia nitsahatra ihany izy araka ny lalàna.
