Luke 23
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na mayangani batelemaki mpe bamemaki Yesu liboso ya Pilato;
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
mpe kuna, bakomaki kofunda Ye: — Tala moto oyo azali kotia mobulu kati na ekolo na biso! Tokuti ye azali kopekisa bato kofuta mpako ya Sezare, mpe azali lisusu komibenga Klisto, Mokonzi!
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
Pilato atunaki Yesu: — Boni, ozali mokonzi ya Bayuda? Yesu azongisaki: — Olobi yango.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
Pilato alobaki na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe na ebele ya bato: — Namoni mabe moko te epai ya moto oyo.
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
Kasi batiaki kaka molende mpe balobaki: — Te! Azali kotombokisa bato ya Yuda mobimba na nzela ya mateya na Ye; abandaki yango na Galile kino akomi awa.
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
Tango Pilato ayokaki bongo, atunaki soki Yesu azali moto ya Galile.
7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
Wana ayokaki ete Yesu azali moto ya mboka oyo ezalaki na se ya bokonzi ya Erode, atindaki Ye epai ya Erode, pamba te Erode azalaki kati na Yelusalemi na mikolo wana.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
Erode asepelaki mingi tango amonaki Yesu, pamba te, wuta kala, azalaki koluka komona Ye mpo ete ayokaki basango mingi na tina na Ye, mpe azalaki kolikya komona Yesu kosala likamwisi.
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
Apesaki ye mituna ebele, kasi Yesu apesaki ye ata eyano moko te.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko bazalaki kaka wana mpe bazalaki kopelisa moto na maloba mabe mpo na kokweyisa Yesu.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
Erode mpe basoda na ye basekaki mpe batiolaki Yesu; balatisaki Ye elamba ya kitoko makasi mpe bazongisaki Ye epai ya Pilato.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
Nzokande, Erode mpe Pilato bazalaki banguna wuta kala; kasi na mokolo wana, bakomaki balingami.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Pilato abengisaki bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, bakambi ya Bayuda mpe bato nyonso; alobaki na bango:
14 and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
— Bomemelaki ngai moto oyo mpe bofundaki ye ete azali kotombokisa bato. Napesi ye mituna liboso na bino mpe nazwi ye na mabe ata moko te kati na nyonso oyo bofundelaki ye.
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
Erode mpe azwaki ye na mabe ata moko te, yango wana azongisaki ye epai na biso. Boye, ndenge bokoki komona, moto oyo asali mabe ata moko te oyo ekoki kosala ete azwa etumbu ya kufa.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
Na bongo, nakobetisa ye kaka fimbu mpe, sima, nakotika ye. [
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
Nzokande, na bafeti nyonso, Pilato azalaki kobimisela bango mokangami moko.]
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
Bato nyonso bagangaki: — Boma moto oyo! Bimisela biso Barabasi!
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
Barabasi akangamaki na boloko mpo ete abimisaki mobulu kati na engumba mpe abomaki moto.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
Lokola azalaki na posa ya kotika Yesu, Pilato atunaki bango lisusu.
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
Kasi bakobaki koganga: — Baka ye na ekulusu! Baka ye na ekulusu!
22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
Pilato atunaki bango lisusu, mpo na mbala ya misato: — Mpo na nini? Mabe nini tata oyo asali? Ngai nazwi ye na mabe ata moko te, oyo ekoki kosala ete azwa etumbu ya kufa. Boye, nakobetisa ye kaka fimbu; sima, nakotika ye.
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
Kasi bakobaki kaka kosenga, na koganga makasi koleka, ete babaka Yesu na ekulusu; mpe suka na suka, koganga na bango elongaki.
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
Pilato azwaki mokano ya kokokisa oyo basengaki;
25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
abimiselaki bango moto oyo basengaki, oyo akangamaki na boloko mpo na mobulu mpe mpo ete abomaki moto, mpe akabaki Yesu na maboko na bango mpo ete basala Ye nyonso oyo balingi.
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
Wana basoda bazalaki kokumba Yesu, bakangaki mobali moko, kombo na ye ezalaki Simona, moto ya Sirene, oyo awutaki na bilanga; batiaki ekulusu na mokongo na ye mpo ete amema yango sima na Yesu.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
Bato ebele balandaki Yesu. Kati na bango, ezalaki mpe na basi oyo bazalaki kolelalela mpe komitungisa mingi mpo na Ye.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Yesu abalukaki mpo na kotala basi mpe alobaki: — Bana basi ya Yelusalemi, bolela mpo na Ngai te; bolela nde mpo na bino moko mpe mpo na bana na bino.
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
Pamba te, na mikolo oyo ekoya, bakoloba: « Esengo na basi oyo bazali na bana te, oyo babota te mpe bamelisa bana mabele te! »
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
Bongo bakoloba na bangomba milayi: « Bokweyela biso! » Mpe bakoloba na bangomba mikuse: « Bozipa biso! »
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
Pamba te soki bato bazali kosala makambo ya boye na nzete ya mobesu, ekozala ndenge nini na nzete ya kokawuka?
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
Bamemaki mpe mibali mosusu mibale, babomi bato, mpo na koboma bango elongo na Yesu.
33 When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
Tango bakomaki na esika oyo babengaka « Gologota, » babakaki kuna Yesu elongo na babomi mibale wana ya bato: moko, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Yesu; mosusu, na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments amongst them, they cast lots.
Yesu alobaki: — Tata, limbisa bango mpo ete bayebi te makambo oyo bazali kosala. Mpe bakabolaki bilamba na Ye, na kobeta zeke.
35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
Bato batelemaki wana, bazalaki kotala; mpe bakambi batiolaki Ye, balobaki: — Abikisaki bato mosusu; tika ete amibikisa ye moko, soki penza azali Klisto, Moponami ya Nzambe!
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
Basoda mpe bakendeki mpe batiolaki Ye; bapesaki Ye vino ya ngayi
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
mpe balobaki: — Soki ozali penza mokonzi ya Bayuda, mibikisa yo moko!
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Na likolo ya moto ya Yesu, ezalaki na makomi oyo: Moto oyo azali Mokonzi ya Bayuda.
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
Moko kati na babomi bato oyo babakamaki na ba-ekulusu atiolaki Ye: — Boni, ozali Klisto te? Mibikisa yo moko mpe bikisa biso!
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
Kasi mobomi bato mosusu apamelaki ye: — Ozali kobanga Nzambe te mpo ete ozali na se ya etumbu ya ndenge moko na oyo ya Ye!
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
Biso, tozwi penza etumbu na ndenge ya bosembo, pamba te tozali kozwa mbano ya misala mabe na biso; kasi tata oyo asali ata mabe moko te.
42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
Bongo alobaki lisusu: — Yesu, kanisa ngai tango okokota kati na Bokonzi na Yo.
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo: lelo, okozala elongo na Ngai kati na Paradizo.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Na ngonga pene ya midi, molili ekotaki na mokili mobimba kino na ngonga ya misato ya pokwa,
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
pamba te moyi etikaki kongenga, mpe rido monene ya Tempelo epasukaki na kati-kati.
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
Yesu agangaki na mongongo makasi: — Tata, nazongisi molimo na Ngai kati na maboko na Yo. Sima na Ye koloba bongo, akataki motema.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
Tango mokonzi ya basoda ya Rome amonaki makambo oyo eleki, akumisaki Nzambe mpe alobaki: — Moto oyo azalaki penza sembo!
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
Tango bato nyonso oyo basanganaki wana, mpo na kotala makambo oyo ezali kosalema, bamonaki makambo oyo ekweyi, batiaki maboko na bango na batolo na bango mpe bazongaki.
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
Kasi bato nyonso oyo bayebaki Yesu, mpe basi oyo balandaki Ye longwa na Galile, batelemaki na mosika mpe bazalaki kotala ndenge makambo ezali koleka.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
Kati na Likita-Monene ya Bayuda, ezalaki na moto moko, kombo na ye « Jozefi. » Azalaki moto malamu mpe moto ya sembo,
51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
mpe andimaki te mikano mpe misala ya bato mosusu ya Likita-Monene; azalaki moto ya mboka Arimate, engumba ya Bayuda, mpe azalaki kozela Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
Akendeki epai ya Pilato mpo na kosenga nzoto ya Yesu.
53 He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
Bongo akitisaki nzoto yango longwa na ekulusu, alingaki yango na liputa ya lino, mpe atiaki yango kati na kunda oyo batobolaki kati na libanga moko ya monene epai wapi batikalaki nanu kokunda ata moto moko te.
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
Ezalaki mokolo ya komilengela, wana Saba elingaki kobanda.
55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
Basi oyo bawutaki na Galile elongo na Yesu balandaki Jozefi, bamonaki kunda mpe ndenge nini atiaki nzoto ya Yesu kati na kunda yango.
56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Sima, bazongaki epai na bango mpe babongisaki mafuta ya solo kitoko mpe malasi. Kasi bapemaki na mokolo ya Saba, kolanda ndenge mobeko ezalaki kosenga.
