Luke 23
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought Jesus before Pilate.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩgĩũkĩra, gĩkĩmũtwara kũrĩ Pilato.
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is 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 Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him and said, “You say so.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ũguo woiga nĩguo.”
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “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 were insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
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 So when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
Pilato aigua ũguo, akĩũria kana mũndũ ũcio nĩ wa kuuma Galili.
7 When he discovered that he was under Herod's authority, he sent Jesus to Herod, who himself also was at 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, because he had wanted to see him for a long time. He had heard about him and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
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 Herod questioned Jesus in many words, but Jesus answered him nothing.
Akĩũria Jesũ ciũria nyingĩ, nowe Jesũ ndaigana kũmũcookeria o na kĩmwe.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, violently accusing him.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho maarũgamĩte hau, makĩmũthitanga magwatĩirie mũno.
11 Herod with his soldiers insulted Jesus and they mocked him. Then they dressed him in elegant clothes and sent him back to Pilate.
Nake Herode na thigari ciake makĩmũthekerera na makĩmũnyũrũria. Makĩmũhumba nguo yarĩ thaka, na makĩmũcookia kũrĩ Pilato.
12 For Herod and Pilate had become friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been enemies with each other.
Nao Herode na Pilato magĩtuma ũrata mũthenya ũcio, tondũ mbere ĩyo maatũũrĩte marĩ ũthũ.
13 Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the crowd of people,
Pilato agĩĩta athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na aathani, na andũ hamwe,
14 and said to them, “You brought to me this man like a man who is leading the people to act badly, and see, I, having questioned him before you, find no fault in this man concerning those things of which you accuse 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 No, nor does Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
O nake Herode ndanamuona arĩ na mahĩtia, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũcookia kũrĩ ithuĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ndarĩ ũndũ ekĩte wa gũtũma ooragwo.
16 I will therefore punish him, and release him.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmũhũũrithia, njooke ndĩmũrekererie.” (
Nĩgũkorwo, kwarĩ mũtugo amohorere mũndũ ũmwe hĩndĩ ĩyo ya Iruga.)
18 But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas!”
No andũ acio makĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo ũmwe, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Twehererie mũndũ ũyũ! Tuohorere Baraba!” (
19 Barabbas was a man who had been put into prison for a certain rebellion in the city and for murder.
Baraba aikĩtio njeera nĩ ũndũ wa kũrutithia ngũĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũũragana.)
20 Pilate addressed them again, desiring to release Jesus.
Nake Pilato, tondũ nĩeendaga kũrekereria Jesũ, akĩmaarĩria o rĩngĩ.
21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.”
No-o magĩthiĩ na mbere kwanĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ! Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ!”
22 He said to them a third time, “Why, what evil has this man done? I have found nothing deserving the death penalty in him. Therefore after punishing him, I will 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 were insistent with loud voices, demanding for him to be crucified. Their voices convinced Pilate.
No-o makĩanĩrĩra mategũtigithĩria makiugaga aambwo mũtĩ-igũrũ, nayo mĩgambo ĩyo yao ĩkĩhootana.
24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato agĩtua nĩekũmahingĩria o ũguo moorĩtie.
25 He released the one they asked for who had been put in prison for rioting and murder. But he delivered up Jesus 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 they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry, following 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 crowd of the people, and of women who grieved and mourned for him, were following him.
Andũ gĩkundi kĩnene makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, hamwe na atumia maagirĩkaga na makarĩra mũno.
28 But turning to them, Jesus 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 see, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that did not bear, and the breasts that did not nurse.'
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 while the tree 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 Other men, two criminals, were led away with him to be put to death.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ angĩ eerĩ ageri ngero, o nao nĩmatwarirwo hamwe nake makooragwo.
33 When they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” there they crucified him, and 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 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Then they cast lots, dividing up his garments.
Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba mohere, nĩgũkorwo matiũĩ ũrĩa mareeka.” Nao magĩcuukĩra nguo ciake mĩtĩ, magĩcigayana.
35 The people stood watching while the rulers also were mocking him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, the chosen one.”
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 ridiculed him, approaching him, offering him vinegar,
Thigari o nacio igĩũka, ikĩmũnyũrũria. Ikĩmũkundia thiki,
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.”
ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Akorwo nĩwe Mũthamaki wa Ayahudi, wĩhonokie.”
38 There was also a sign over him, “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 insulted him by saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself 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 you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence?
No mũgeri ngero ũcio ũngĩ akĩmũkaania, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩĩtigĩra Ngai, kuona atĩ ũtuĩrĩirwo o ũrĩa atuĩrĩirwo?
41 We indeed are here justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds. But this man did nothing wrong.”
Ithuĩ tũherithĩtio na kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo tũraherithĩrio ũrĩa twĩkĩte. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũyũ ndarĩ ũndũ mũũru ekĩte.”
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Agĩcooka akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra gũkandirikana rĩrĩa ũgooka ũthamaki-inĩ waku.”
43 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũkwĩra na ma, ũmũthĩ nĩũrĩkorwo hamwe na niĩ ikenero.”
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came 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 as the sun's light failed. Then the curtain of the temple was split in two.
tondũ riũa nĩrĩatigire kwara. Nakĩo gĩtambaya kĩa hekarũ gĩgĩatũkana maita meerĩ.
46 Crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” Having said this, he died.
Nake Jesũ akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, roho wakwa ndaũiga moko-inĩ maku.” Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩtuĩkana.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
Rĩrĩa mũnene wa gĩkundi gĩa thigari igana oonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, akĩgooca Ngai, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itheru ũyũ oima mũndũ mũthingu.”
48 When all the multitudes who came together to witness this sight saw the things that were done, they returned 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 him, and the women who followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
No arĩa othe maamũũĩ, o hamwe na atumia arĩa maamũrũmĩrĩire kuuma Galili, makĩrũgama o haraaya, meroreire maũndũ macio.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council. He was a good and righteous man.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ haarĩ na mũndũ wetagwo Jusufu, mũthuuri wa Kĩama, na aarĩ mũndũ mwega na mũrũngĩrĩru,
51 This man had not agreed with the decision of the Council and their action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea; and he was looking 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 This man, approaching Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus.
Nake agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Pilato, akĩhooya etĩkĩrio akuue mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ.
53 He took it down, wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb that was cut in stone, 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 the Preparation, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
Na mũthenya ũcio warĩ wa Ihaarĩria, nayo Thabatũ yarĩ hakuhĩ kwambĩrĩria.
55 The women who had come with Jesus out of Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
Nao atumia arĩa moimĩte na Jesũ Galili makĩrũmĩrĩra Jusufu, makĩona mbĩrĩra na makĩona ũrĩa mwĩrĩ wake waigirwo ho.
56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. Then on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Magĩcooka makĩinũka, makĩhaarĩria mahuti manungi wega na maguta manungi wega. No rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa Thabatũ makĩhurũka kũringana na ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo.
