Luka 23
1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩgĩũkĩra, gĩkĩmũtwara kũrĩ Pilato.
And the whole number of them arose, and led him away to Pilate.
2 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.”
And they began to accuse him, saying: We found this man turning the people away, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ũguo woiga nĩguo.”
And Pilate asked him, saying: Are you the king of the Jews? He answered and said to him: You say it.
4 Nake Pilato akĩĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na andũ acio angĩ atĩrĩ, “Ndikuona ũndũ ingĩthitangĩra mũndũ ũyũ.”
Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no fault in this man.
5 Nao magĩthiĩ na mbere kuuga magwatĩirie atĩrĩ, “Nĩatũmĩte andũ mookanĩrĩre Judea guothe nĩ ũndũ wa ũrutani wake. Aambĩrĩirie Galili na nĩokĩte nginya o gũkũ.”
But they became the more urgent, and said: He excites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 Pilato aigua ũguo, akĩũria kana mũndũ ũcio nĩ wa kuuma Galili.
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Rĩrĩa aamenyire atĩ Jesũ aarĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa wathanagwo nĩ Herode, akiuga atwarwo kũrĩ Herode, ũrĩa wakoretwo arĩ Jerusalemu ihinda-inĩ rĩu.
And when he learned that he belonged to the dominion of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was at that time in Jerusalem.
8 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.
When Herod saw Jesus, he rejoiced greatly; for he had, for a long time, desired to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign done by him.
9 Akĩũria Jesũ ciũria nyingĩ, nowe Jesũ ndaigana kũmũcookeria o na kĩmwe.
And he questioned him concerning many things; but he made him no answer.
10 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho maarũgamĩte hau, makĩmũthitanga magwatĩirie mũno.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, and vehemently accused him.
11 Nake Herode na thigari ciake makĩmũthekerera na makĩmũnyũrũria. Makĩmũhumba nguo yarĩ thaka, na makĩmũcookia kũrĩ Pilato.
But Herod and his guards treated him with contempt; and having mocked him, and put on him a gaudy robe, he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Nao Herode na Pilato magĩtuma ũrata mũthenya ũcio, tondũ mbere ĩyo maatũũrĩte marĩ ũthũ.
And on the same day, Pilate and Herod became friends to each other; for, before this, they had been at enmity the one toward the other.
13 Pilato agĩĩta athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na aathani, na andũ hamwe,
And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 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.
and said to them: You have brought to me this man as one that turns the people away; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found in this man no fault, with respect to the things of which you accuse him;
15 O nake Herode ndanamuona arĩ na mahĩtia, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũcookia kũrĩ ithuĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ndarĩ ũndũ ekĩte wa gũtũma ooragwo.
nor indeed did Herod; for I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmũhũũrithia, njooke ndĩmũrekererie.” (
I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him.
17 Nĩgũkorwo, kwarĩ mũtugo amohorere mũndũ ũmwe hĩndĩ ĩyo ya Iruga.)
For it was necessary that he should release to them one at the feast.
18 No andũ acio makĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo ũmwe, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Twehererie mũndũ ũyũ! Tuohorere Baraba!” (
And the whole multitude cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas.
19 Baraba aikĩtio njeera nĩ ũndũ wa kũrutithia ngũĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũũragana.)
He, for a certain seditious movement that had been made in the city, and for murder, had been thrown into prison.
20 Nake Pilato, tondũ nĩeendaga kũrekereria Jesũ, akĩmaarĩria o rĩngĩ.
Therefore Pilate, desiring to release Jesus, again called to them.
21 No-o magĩthiĩ na mbere kwanĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ! Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ!”
But they answered, saying: Crucify, crucify him.
22 Nake akĩmooria riita rĩa gatatũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩkĩ? Nĩ ũũru ũrĩkũ mũndũ ũyũ eekĩte? Ndionete gĩtũmi gĩa gũtũma ooragwo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmũhũũrithia, njooke ndĩmuohore.”
He said to them the third time: Why, what evil has he done? I have found nothing in him worthy of death. I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him.
23 No-o makĩanĩrĩra mategũtigithĩria makiugaga aambwo mũtĩ-igũrũ, nayo mĩgambo ĩyo yao ĩkĩhootana.
But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato agĩtua nĩekũmahingĩria o ũguo moorĩtie.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they demanded.
25 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.
And he released him that for a seditious movement, and for murder, had been thrown into prison, whom they demanded; but Jesus, he delivered up to their will.
26 Na rĩrĩa thigari cioimagaragia Jesũ, ikĩnyiita mũndũ woimaga mĩgũnda-inĩ wetagwo Simoni wa kuuma Kurene. Nacio ikĩmũigĩrĩra mũtharaba wa Jesũ aũkuue na amuume thuutha.
And as they led him away, they laid hold of Simon, a certain Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it after Jesus.
27 Andũ gĩkundi kĩnene makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, hamwe na atumia maagirĩkaga na makarĩra mũno.
And there followed him a great number of the people, and of women that bewailed and lamented him.
28 Nake Jesũ akĩĩhũgũra na kũrĩ o, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ aarĩ a Jerusalemu, tigai kũndĩrĩra; mwĩrĩrĩrei inyuĩ ene na ciana cianyu.
But Jesus turned, and said to them, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Nĩgũkorwo kũrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgooka rĩrĩa mũkoigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ atumia arĩa thaata, na nda iria itarĩ ciaciara, o na nyondo iria itarĩ ciongwo!’
For, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30 Hĩndĩ ĩyo “‘nĩmakeera irĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩrei!” o na macooke meere tũrĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũhumbĩrei!”’
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, andũ mangĩkorwo nĩmareeka maũndũ maya rĩrĩa mũtĩ ũrĩ mũigũ-rĩ, gũgakĩhaana atĩa woma?”
For, if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Na rĩrĩ, andũ angĩ eerĩ ageri ngero, o nao nĩmatwarirwo hamwe nake makooragwo.
And two others, who were evil-doers, were led out to be put to death with him.
33 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.
And when they came to the place called Skull, they there crucified him and the evil-doers; one on the right, and the other on the left.
34 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba mohere, nĩgũkorwo matiũĩ ũrĩa mareeka.” Nao magĩcuukĩra nguo ciake mĩtĩ, magĩcigayana.
And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And dividing his clothing into parts, they cast lots.
35 Nao andũ nĩmarũgamĩte hau makĩmwĩrorera: Nao anene nĩmamũnyũrũragia makoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩarahonokagia andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩehonokie aakorwo nĩwe Kristũ wa Ngai, Ũrĩa wake Mũthuure.”
And the people stood and looked on. And the rulers, with them scoffed at him, saying: He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God.
36 Thigari o nacio igĩũka, ikĩmũnyũrũria. Ikĩmũkundia thiki,
The soldiers also derided him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Akorwo nĩwe Mũthamaki wa Ayahudi, wĩhonokie.”
and saying: If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.
38 Na nĩ haarĩ maandĩko maandĩkĩtwo igũrũ rĩake atĩrĩ: ŨYŨ NĨWE MŨTHAMAKI WA AYAHUDI.
And a superscription was also written over him in Greek and in Roman and in Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Ũmwe wa ageri ngero acio maambanĩirio nake akĩmũruma, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ wee tiwe Kristũ? Wĩhonokie, na ũtũhonokie!”
And one of the evil-doers that were hanged reviled him, saying: If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.
40 No mũgeri ngero ũcio ũngĩ akĩmũkaania, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩĩtigĩra Ngai, kuona atĩ ũtuĩrĩirwo o ũrĩa atuĩrĩirwo?
But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation?
41 Ithuĩ tũherithĩtio na kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo tũraherithĩrio ũrĩa twĩkĩte. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũyũ ndarĩ ũndũ mũũru ekĩte.”
And we justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.
42 Agĩcooka akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra gũkandirikana rĩrĩa ũgooka ũthamaki-inĩ waku.”
And he said to Jesus: Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũkwĩra na ma, ũmũthĩ nĩũrĩkorwo hamwe na niĩ ikenero.”
And Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, to-day you shall be with me in paradise.
44 Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ ta thaa thita cia mũthenya, naguo bũrũri wothe ũkĩgĩa nduma nginya thaa kenda,
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour.
45 tondũ riũa nĩrĩatigire kwara. Nakĩo gĩtambaya kĩa hekarũ gĩgĩatũkana maita meerĩ.
And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Nake Jesũ akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, roho wakwa ndaũiga moko-inĩ maku.” Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩtuĩkana.
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.
47 Rĩrĩa mũnene wa gĩkundi gĩa thigari igana oonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, akĩgooca Ngai, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itheru ũyũ oima mũndũ mũthingu.”
When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying: Truly, this was a righteous man.
48 Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa othe maarũgamĩte hau kwĩrorera moonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, makĩinũka methikĩire, na makĩĩhũũraga ithũri nĩ kĩeha.
And all the multitudes that had come together to that sight, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting their breasts.
49 No arĩa othe maamũũĩ, o hamwe na atumia arĩa maamũrũmĩrĩire kuuma Galili, makĩrũgama o haraaya, meroreire maũndũ macio.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance looking on these things.
50 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ haarĩ na mũndũ wetagwo Jusufu, mũthuuri wa Kĩama, na aarĩ mũndũ mwega na mũrũngĩrĩru,
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor, a good and a just man;
51 nake ndetĩkanĩtie na ũguo maatuĩte na mageeka. Oimĩte itũũra rĩa Arimathea, bũrũri wa Judea, na nĩetagĩrĩra ũthamaki wa Ngai.
(he had not given his consent to their counsel and deed; ) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he himself also waited for the kingdom of God:
52 Nake agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Pilato, akĩhooya etĩkĩrio akuue mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ.
this man came to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 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.
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that had been hewed in rock, in which no one had yet been laid.
54 Na mũthenya ũcio warĩ wa Ihaarĩria, nayo Thabatũ yarĩ hakuhĩ kwambĩrĩria.
And the day was the preparation, and the sabbath was beginning.
55 Nao atumia arĩa moimĩte na Jesũ Galili makĩrũmĩrĩra Jusufu, makĩona mbĩrĩra na makĩona ũrĩa mwĩrĩ wake waigirwo ho.
And the women that had come with him from Galilee followed after and saw the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
56 Magĩcooka makĩinũka, makĩhaarĩria mahuti manungi wega na maguta manungi wega. No rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa Thabatũ makĩhurũka kũringana na ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo.
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointment; and they rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
