Luke 23
1 Then the whole assembly rose and brought Him to Pilate, and began to accuse Him.
Nipele, ŵandu wose uŵachingangene pepala ŵajimi ni kwajausya Che Yesu mmbujo mwa che Pilato.
2 "We have found this man," they said, "an agitator among our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be himself an anointed king."
Ŵatandite kwaŵechetela, achitiji, “Twansimene mundu ju ali nkwalyungasya ŵandu ŵa chilambo chetu ali nkwakanya ŵandu kutyosya nsongo kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma ni kulitenda kuti jwelejo ali Kilisito Nkulupusyo, Mwenye.”
3 Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied.
Che Pilato ŵammusisye Che Yesu, “Ana mmweji ni mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Mmwejo mwasyene ni ummechete.”
4 Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man."
Nipele, che Pilato ŵaasalile achakulu ŵambopesi ni mpingo wa ŵandu, “Nganguchiwona chachili chose chakuti nannamule mundu ju.”
5 But they violently insisted. "He stirs up the people," they said, "throughout all Judaea with His teaching--even from Galilee (where He first started) to this city."
Nambo ŵanyawo ŵachalile nnope achitiji, “Akwalyungasya ŵandu kwa majiganyo gao mu chilambo chose cha ku Yudea. Ŵatandite ku Galilaya ni sambano aiche apano.”
6 On hearing this, Pilate inquired, "Is this man a Galilaean?"
Che Pilato paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵausisye, “Ana mundu ju ali jwa ku Galilaya?”
7 And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time.
Paŵaimanyilile kuti Che Yesu ŵaliji jwa chilambo chachili mu ulamusi u che Helode, ŵampeleche ku che Helode, juŵaliji kukoko ku Yelusalemu gele moŵa go.
8 To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed by Him.
Che Helode paŵammweni Che Yesu ŵasangalele nnope. Chitandile kalakala ŵalajile kwawona pakuŵa ŵapilikene ngani syao, nombewo ŵalolelaga kwawona Che Yesu ali nkupanganya imanyisyo.
9 So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply.
Nipele che Helode ŵammusisye Che Yesu mausyo gamajinji nambo Che Yesu nganajanga lili lyose.
10 Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him.
Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo uŵaliji pelepo ŵaŵechetele Che Yesu kwa machili.
11 Then, laughing to scorn the claims of Jesus, Herod (and his soldiers with him) made sport of Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous costume, and sent Him back to Pilate.
Nipele, che Helode ni ŵangondo ŵakwe, ŵanyelwisye ni kwatukana Che Yesu ni kwawasya iwalo yakusalala ni ŵammuchisye ku che Pilato.
12 And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.
Lye lyuŵa lyo che Helode ni che Pilato ŵajilene ni kuŵa uganja pakuŵa chitandilile kalakala ŵatindene lyasi.
13 Then calling together the High Priests and the Rulers and the people, Pilate said,
Nipele, che Pilato ŵasimanisye achakulu ŵambopesi ni ilongola ni ŵandu,
14 "You have brought this man to me on a charge of corrupting the loyalty of the people. But, you see, I have examined him in your presence and have discovered in the man no ground for the accusations which you bring against him.
ni ŵaasalile, “Mumbelechele mundu ju nchitiji ŵaliji nkwalyungasya ŵandu. Sambano mpilikane! Uneji sosilesosile ngani syao mmbujo mwenu nambo nganinansimana ni ligambo lili lyose lyankati indu imwammechetele.
15 No, nor does Herod; for he has sent him back to us; and, you see, there is nothing he has done that deserves death.
Ngaŵa uneji pe, atamuno che Helode ammuchisye kukwetu pakuŵa nganaliwona ligambo lili lyose. Usyene ukulosya kuti mundu ju nganatenda chachili chose changalumbana chakwaŵajila chiwa.
16 I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
Nipele, chilamule kuti aputikwe mbokola nombe chinalechelele.”
Pakuŵa ŵasachilwe kwaugulila jwataŵikwe jumo katema ka Pasaka.
18 Then the whole multitude burst out into a shout. "Away with this man," they said, "and release Barabbas to us"
Nambo wose ŵatandite kunyanyisya kwanakamo achitiji, “Mummulaje mundu ju, ntugopolele che Balaba!”
19 --Barabbas! who had been lodged in jail for some time in connexion with a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.
Che Balaba ŵataŵikwe mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ligongo lya kukamulangana ni ŵandu ŵaŵatindigenye mu musi ni mu utinda wo ŵaulajikwe mundu jumo.
20 But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.
Che Pilato ŵasachile kwalechelela Che Yesu, ŵaŵechete nawo kaaŵili kwakunyanyisya.
21 They, however, persistently shouted, "Crucify, crucify him!"
Nambo ŵanyawo ŵanyanyisye sooni, “Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba, Mwaŵambe pa nsalaba!”
22 A third time he appealed to them: "Why, what crime has the man committed? I have discovered in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
Che Pilato ŵaasalile kaatatu, “Ana changalumbana chi chatesile mundu ju? Nganguliwona ligambo lililyose nkati mundu ju lyati ikwaŵajila chiwa. Nipele chilamule aputikwe mbokola ni kwalechelela.”
23 But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.
Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapundile kunyanyisya kwa machili nnope kuti Che Yesu akusachilwa kuŵambikwa pa nsalaba. Kumbesi kwakwe, maloŵe gao gapikaniche.
24 So Pilate gave judgement, yielding to their demand.
Che Pilato ŵalamwile kuti chasachilenje chipanganikwe.
25 The man who was lying in prison charged with riot and murder and for whom they clamoured he set free, but Jesus he gave up to be dealt with as they desired.
Ŵangopwele jwelejo juŵataŵikwe kwa ligongo lya kutindiganya ni kuulaga ni kwatyochesya Che Yesu kwa ŵangondo kuti ŵatende mpela iŵasakaga.
26 As soon as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenaean, who was coming in from the country, and on his shoulders they put the cross, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
Ŵangondo paŵalinji nkwajausya Che Yesu kukwaŵamba pa nsalaba ŵasimene ni mundu liina lyao che Simoni jwa ku Kulene, juŵatyochelaga mu nsinda kwinjila mu musi. Ŵankamwile ni kwatwika nsalaba ni kwakuya Che Yesu panyuma.
27 A vast crowd of the people also followed Him, and of women who were beating their breasts and wailing for Him.
Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wankuiye, mwa ŵanyawo ŵapali achakongwe uŵaliji nkulila nnope ni kulila kwa malumbo.
28 But Jesus turned towards them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Che Yesu ŵaagalauchile ŵanyawo ni kwasalila, “Mwanya achakongwe ŵa ku Yelusalemu! Ngasimulilila une nambo nlililile mwachinsyene ni ŵanache ŵenu.
29 For a time is coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the women who never bore children, and the breasts which have never given nourishment.'
Pakuŵa moŵa chigaiche pachachiti, ‘Ŵana upile ŵangakuŵeleka ni ŵanganaŵeleka ni konjesya!’
30 Then will they begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us;' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
Pelepo ni pachatande kuisalila ikwesya kuti ‘Ntugwilile!’ Ni matumbi, ‘Ntuunichile!’
31 For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?"
Pakuŵa, iŵaga ŵandu akutenda yeleyi kwa une jundi mpela chitela chachiŵisi. Ana chatende chichi kukwenu ŵandi mpela chitela chejumu?”
32 They brought also two others, criminals, to put them to death with Him.
Nombe ŵapali ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵili, uŵatendaga yangalumbana, ŵajigalikwe kukuulajikwa pamo ni Che Yesu.
33 When they reached the place called 'The Skull,' there they nailed Him to the cross, and the criminals also, one at His right hand and one at His left.
Paŵaiche kwiuto, liina lyakwe, “Chikalakasa cha Ntwe,” Nipele kweleko ŵaŵambile pa nsalaba Che Yesu pamo ni aŵala ŵaŵili uŵaitendekanyaga yangalumbana, jumo kundyo kwao ni jwine kunchiji.
34 Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." And they divided His garments among them, drawing lots for them;
Che Yesu ŵatite, “Atati, mwalechelesye pakuŵa ngakuimanyilila yakuitendayi.” Nipele, ŵagaŵene iwalo yao kwa kuitendela gudugudu.
35 and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered their bitter taunts. "This fellow," they said, "saved others: let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, the Chosen One."
Ŵandu ŵajimi achilolaga. Achakulu ŵa chiyahudi ŵanjalwisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Ŵakulupwisye ŵane, sambano alikulupusye nsyene iŵaga jwelejo ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwasagulikwe ni Akunnungu!”
36 And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering Him sour wine and saying,
Ŵangondo nombewo ŵanjalwisye Che Yesu ni kwapelechela divai ja kuipa,
37 "Are you the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!"
ni ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Iŵaga isyene mmwejo ni Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi, nlikulupusye mwasyene.”
38 There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Ni pachanya nsalaba ŵaŵisile chindu chachilembekwe yele, “Aŵaŵa ALI MWENYE JWA ŴAYAHUDI.”
39 Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him, saying, "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us."
Jumo jwa aŵala uŵatendaga yangalumbana uŵaŵambikwe pepala ŵantukene Che Yesu achitiji, “Ana mmwejo ngati ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo? Nlikulupusye mwasyene noweji iyoyo peyo.”
40 But the other, answering, reproved him. "Do you also not fear God," he said, "when you are actually suffering the same punishment?
Nambo jwine jula ŵankalipile achitiji, “Ana mmweji ngankwajogopa Akunnungu namose kanandi? Namuno mmwejo nnamulikwe chisau ni ŵele.
41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss."
Mmwe ni une tukuŵajilwa, pakuŵa aji ni mbote ja sambi syatutesile. Nambo aju mundu ju nganapanganya chachili chose changalumbana.”
42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your Kingdom."
Nipele ŵaŵechete, “Choonde Che Yesu! Mungumbuchile pachinchiinjila mu umwenye wenu.”
43 "I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise."
Che Yesu ŵanjanjile jwelejo, “Isyene ngunsalila, lelo jino chimme pampepe none kumbepo.”
44 It was now about noon, and a darkness came over the whole country till three o'clock in the afternoon.
Kaliji mpela katema ka lyuŵa pantwe, sooni kwaliji chipi pachilambo chose mpaka saa tisa,
45 The sun was darkened, and the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn down the middle,
ni lyuŵa lyalesile kuŵala ni nguo ja lusasa ja mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu japapwiche pambindikati.
46 and Jesus cried out in a loud voice, and said, "Father, to Thy hands I entrust my spirit." And after uttering these words He yielded up His spirit.
Che Yesu ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Atati, ngujiŵika mbumu jangu mmakono mwenu.” Paŵamasile kuŵecheta gelego, ŵawile.
47 The Captain, seeing what had happened, gave glory to God, saying, "Beyond question this man was innocent."
Jwankulu jwaŵangondo paŵaiweni iyatendekweyo, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu achitiji, “Isyenepe, mundu ju jwaliji jwambone.”
48 And all the crowds that had come together to this sight, after seeing all that had occurred, returned to the city beating their breasts.
Mpingo wa ŵandu wasongangene ligongo lyakulola iyatendekwe, paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵaujangene mmangwawo aninkuliputa pa ntima pao kwakulilasika.
49 But all His acquaintances, and the women who had been His followers after leaving Galilee, continued standing at a distance and looking on.
Achambusanga ŵao wose ni achakongwe uŵalongene nawo kutyochela ku Galilaya, ŵajimi kwakutalichila, aninkulola yaikutyochela.
50 There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,
Jwapali mundu liina lyao che Yusufu, jumo jwa ŵantenga ŵa nkungulu wekulungwa wa Chiyahudi. Mundu ju ŵaliji jwambone ni jwakupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu,
51 who came from the Jewish town of Arimathaea and was awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the design or action of the Council,
ni nganajitichisyana nawo iŵaisachile ni kuipanganya. Jweleju jwaliji mundu jwa nsinda umo wa Chiyahudi waukuŵilanjikwa Alimataya ni jwaliji nkulolela Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
52 and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Nipele, jwele mundu ŵajawile ku che Pilato, ŵaŵendile apegwe chiilu chi Che Yesu.
53 Then, taking it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet and laid it in a tomb in the rock, where no one else had yet been put.
Nipele, che Yusufu ŵachitulwisye chiilu pa nsalaba ni kuchiŵilijila ni sanda ni ŵachiŵisile mwilembe lilyasepekwe palwala, lilyaliji likanaŵe kuŵichikwa mundu.
54 It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was near at hand.
Lyele lyuŵa lyo lyaliji lyuŵa lyakuliŵika chile kwa ligongo lya Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
55 The women--those who had come with Jesus from Galilee--followed close behind, and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
Ni achakongwe uŵalongene nawo Che Yesu kutyochela ku Galilaya ŵala, ŵakuiye che Yusufu ni ŵaliweni lilembe lyo ni yachitite pakuŵichikwa chiilu chi Che Yesu.
56 Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.
Nipele, ŵausile kumusi ni kulinganya mauta ga malahamu ni mauta gakununjila gakugapakasya chiilu chi Che Yesu. Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ŵapumulile mpela igakuti kulamula Malajisyo.
