Luke 23
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
Bantu bangi balanyamuka, nekutwala Yesu kuli 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.”
Lino balatatika kumubepeshela Yesu eti, “Twalamucana muntu uyu kayungaula bantu ba mushobo wetu. Walikwambila bantu eti tucileke kusonka musonko kuli mwami wa ku Loma. Kayi ukute kwambeti ni Mupulushi Walaiwa kayi eti emwami.”
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
Lino Pilato walamwipusha Yesu eti, “Sena njobe, Mwami wa ba Yuda?” Yesu walakumbuleti, “Mulamba mobene.”
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
Pilato walambila bamakulene beshimilumbo nebantu bonse basa eti, “Ame kuliya mulandu ngondacana pa muntu uyu.”
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
Nsombi balo balayuminina kumubepeshela kabambeti, “Layungaulunga ne kufulunganya bantu pakwiyisha kwakendi mucishi conse ca Yudeya. Walatatikila ku Galileya lino mpaka lashiki ne kuno.”
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
Pilato mpwalanyumfweco walepusheti, “Sena uyu muntu nimwine Galileya?”
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.
Lino mpwalanyumfwa kwambeti Yesu ukute kufuma mucishi ncalikwendelesha Helode, walamutuma kuli Helode uyo walikuba mu Yelesalemu pa cindico.
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.
Helode mpwalabona Yesu walakondwa, pakwinga lyonse walikunyumfwa mbili yakendi. Neco walikuyanda kumubona. Walikuyandishisha kwambeti akamubonepo kensa cikankamanisho.
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
Neco Helode walamwipusha mipusho ingi, nsombi Yesu nendi liya kumukumbulapo ciliconse.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
Bamakulene beshimilumbo ne beshikwiyisha ba Milawo balesa pepi nekutatika kumubepesha cangofu.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
Helode nebashilikali bakendi balamuseka Yesu ne kumunyansha. Lino balamufwalika cakufwala cabwami, nekumubwesha kuli Pilato.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
Kufuma busuba ubo Helode ne Pilato balatatika kunyumfwana pakwinga balikuba bapatana.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Lino Pilato walabunganya bamakulene beshimilumbo ne beshikwendelesha kayi ne bantu bonse.
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.
Lino walabambileti, “Uyu muntu mulamulete kuli njameti nkayungaula bantu, lino ame ndamwipushu mwense kamulipo, ndacana kwambeti liya mulandu pamakani onse ngomwa mwambanga.
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
Helode neye liya kucanapo mulandu pali uyu muntu, weco neye lamubweshe kuli afwe. Kamubona uyu muntu liya kwinsapo mulandu wakufwilapo.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
Neco ndimukwipowa ne kumusungulula.”
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
Nomba Pilato lyonse walikubasungululila kayili umo pabusuba bwa Pasika.
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
Nsombi bonse bantu balolobesha pamo eti, “Ashinwe muntu uyu, mutusungwilile Balabasi.”
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
Balabasi uyu walasungwa pakwinga walapanga cimfulunganya mucishi ne kushina bantu.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
Nsombi Pilato walikuyanda kumusungulula Yesu, neco walamba nabo bantu basa kayi.
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
Nomba nabo balolobesheti, “Mupopeni palusanda! Mupopeni!”
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 walabambila bantu kabutatu eti, nomba lenshi cani caipa uyu? Ame ndacana kwambeti liya mulandu ngwelakufwilapo. Neco ndimukwipowa nekumusungulula.
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
Nsombi bonse bayuminina kolobesheti, “Welela kupopwa palusanda.” Lino Pilato walakomwa kumaswi ayo.
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
Neco Pilato walapingula kwelana ne ncobalikusenga bantu baseti cinshike.
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.
Pilato walasungulula Balabasi uyo walaleta cimfulunganya nekushina bantu ngobalasenga. Yesu bamwinse kwelana mbuli kuyanda kwabo.
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.
Bashilikali balamumanta Yesu kwambeti benga bamupope. Balakumana ne Shimoni waku Kulene, nkafuma muminshi. Balamwikata nekumunyamwisha lusanda kwambeti akonkenga panyuma pa Yesu.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
Bantu bangi balikumukonkela. Pakati pabo palikuba batukashi bali kabalila nekunyumfwa kwipilwa pacebo ca Yesu.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Lino Yesu walapilibuka ne kubambileti, “Amwe mobatukashi ba ku Yelusalemu mutalilila ame sobwe, nsombi mulilile mobene kayi ne bana benu.
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.’
Pakwinga masuba nakashike bantu mpoti bakambengeti, ‘Bakute colwe batukashi balabula kusemapo nekuyamwishapo!’
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
Pacindico nibakasenge malundu eti, ‘Kamutuwila’ Kayi netucina eti, ‘Tufwekeleleni.’
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
Nomba lino na kulico kulinjame ndecitondo catontola, nomba nikukabeconi kuli njamwe mobitondo byayuma?”
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
Balamanta ba kapondo babili kwambeti benga bapopwe pamo ne 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.
Mpobalashika kumusena walikukwiweti cifupa ca mutwi, balapopa Yesu palusanda. Kopeloko balapopako bakapondo basa palusanda, umbi kululyo naumbi kucipiko.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
Yesu walambeti, “Ta, kamubalekelela pakwinga nkabacinshi ncobalenshinga.” Lino balensa nsolo nekuyabana byakufwala byakendi.
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!”
Bantu balikuba bemana popelapo kabebela. Nomba bamakulene ba Bayuda abo kabaweluluka Yesu nekwambeti, “Walapulusha bambi, lino neye alipulushe mwine, na ni Mupulushi uyo Walaiwa ne Lesa.”
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
Bashilikali naboyo balamuseka, balesa pepi nekumupa waini wasasa eti anwe.
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
Nekumwambileti, “Na njobe Mwami wa Bayuda, lipulushe omwine.”
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Pelu palusanda palikuba palembweti, “Uyu emwami wa ba Yuda.”
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
Kapondo umo walikuba wapopwa pamo ne Yesu, walamucobola Yesu eti, “Sena ntobe mupulushi washomeshewa? Lipulushe nenjafwe utupulushe.”
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
Nsombi umbi walakalilila munendi nekumwambileti, “Sena obe nkotini Lesa? Tulapopwa pamo twense mu mapensho.
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
Nsombi afwe tobabili twelela kupopwa pakwinga tulatambulunga cilambo celela pa bintu mbyotwalikwinsa. Lino uyu neye kuliya caipa ncalensapo.”
42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
Lino walambila Yesu eti “Mukanganuke mwakesa mu Bwami bwenu.”
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Lino Yesu walamwambileti, “Cakubinga ndakwambilinga lelo, nukekale nenjame mu Paladaiso.”
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Lino cindi mpocalashika pa 12 koloko, kwalaba mushinshe pacishi conse kushikila 3 koloko,
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
lino cikwisa calikucala mu Ng'anda ya Lesa calatwamuka pakati.
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
Lino Yesu walolobesha ne liswi lya pelu eti, “Ta mushimu wakame ndaubiki mumakasa enu.” Mpwalapwisha kwambeco, walafwa.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
Mukulene wa bashilikali mpwalaboneco, walalumbaisha Lesa, ne kwambeti, “Nicakubinga uyu muntu walikuba walulama.”
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
Naboyo bantu bangi balikuba babungana kabebela, mpobalabona calenshika balabwelela kumanda kwabo nkabayakulyuma pantiti ne kungumana.
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
Bantu bonse balikumwinshiba Yesu, ne batukashi basa balamukonkela baku Galileya, balemana patali kababona byonse byalenshika.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
Kwalikuba muntu walikukwiweti Yosefe walikwikala mumushi wa Alimateya mucishi ca Yudeya. Walikuba umo wamulibunga lya Nkuta inene ya Bayuda, walikuba muntu uli cena walemekwa
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.
nendi wali kupembelela kwisa kwa Bwami bwa Lesa.
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
Uyu muntu walaya ku musenga Pilato citumbi ca 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.
Lino walaselusha citumbi palusanda ne kupombela mucikwisa caina, walamubika mu cumbwe ca mulibwe umo mwalikuba mutana mubikwapo muntu uliyense.
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
Bwalikuba busuba bwakulibambila pakwinga busuba bwa Sabata bwalikuba pepi kutatika.
55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
Batukashi baku Galileya basa balikukonkela Yesu balaya ne Yosefe akubona cumbwe mwalabika citumbi ca Yesu.
56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Balabwelela ku ng'anda a kubamba mafuta anunkila cena. Lino pabusuba bwa Sabata, balapumwina kwelana ne Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose.
