Luka 23
1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩgĩũkĩra, gĩkĩmũtwara kũrĩ Pilato.
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him 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] perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, 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, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest [it].
4 Nake Pilato akĩĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na andũ acio angĩ atĩrĩ, “Ndikuona ũndũ ingĩthitangĩra mũndũ ũyũ.”
Then said Pilate to the chief priests, and [to] the people, 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.”
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all 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 whether 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 as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time.
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.
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 Akĩũria Jesũ ciũria nyingĩ, nowe Jesũ ndaigana kũmũcookeria o na kĩmwe.
Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho maarũgamĩte hau, makĩmũthitanga magwatĩirie mũno.
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11 Nake Herode na thigari ciake makĩmũthekerera na makĩmũnyũrũria. Makĩmũhumba nguo yarĩ thaka, na makĩmũcookia kũrĩ Pilato.
And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked [him], and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 Nao Herode na Pilato magĩtuma ũrata mũthenya ũcio, tondũ mbere ĩyo maatũũrĩte marĩ ũthũ.
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 Pilato agĩĩta athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na aathani, na andũ hamwe,
And Pilate, when he had 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.
Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined [him] before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which ye accuse him;
15 O nake Herode ndanamuona arĩ na mahĩtia, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũcookia kũrĩ ithuĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ndarĩ ũndũ ekĩte wa gũtũma ooragwo.
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to 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 of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
18 No andũ acio makĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo ũmwe, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Twehererie mũndũ ũyũ! Tuohorere Baraba!” (
And they cried out all at once, 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.)
(Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
20 Nake Pilato, tondũ nĩeendaga kũrekereria Jesũ, akĩmaarĩria o rĩngĩ.
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
21 No-o magĩthiĩ na mbere kwanĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ! Mwambe mũtĩ-igũrũ!”
But they cried, 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.”
And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let [him] go.
23 No-o makĩanĩrĩra mategũtigithĩria makiugaga aambwo mũtĩ-igũrũ, nayo mĩgambo ĩyo yao ĩkĩhootana.
And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and 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 required.
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 to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus 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 upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear [it] after Jesus.
27 Andũ gĩkundi kĩnene makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, hamwe na atumia maagirĩkaga na makarĩra mũno.
And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, who also 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 turning to them, said, 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 shall say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nourished infants.
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 a green tree, what will be done in the dry?
32 Na rĩrĩ, andũ angĩ eerĩ ageri ngero, o nao nĩmatwarirwo hamwe nake makooragwo.
And two others, [who were] malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.
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 had come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba mohere, nĩgũkorwo matiũĩ ũrĩa mareeka.” Nao magĩcuukĩra nguo ciake mĩtĩ, magĩcigayana.
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and 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 beholding. And the rulers also with them derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ the chosen of God.
36 Thigari o nacio igĩũka, ikĩmũnyũrũria. Ikĩmũkundia thiki,
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Akorwo nĩwe Mũthamaki wa Ayahudi, wĩhonokie.”
And saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Na nĩ haarĩ maandĩko maandĩkĩtwo igũrũ rĩake atĩrĩ: ŨYŨ NĨWE MŨTHAMAKI WA AYAHUDI.
And a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, 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 malefactors, who were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself 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, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 Ithuĩ tũherithĩtio na kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo tũraherithĩrio ũrĩa twĩkĩte. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũyũ ndarĩ ũndũ mũũru ekĩte.”
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 Agĩcooka akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra gũkandirikana rĩrĩa ũgooka ũthamaki-inĩ waku.”
And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into 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 thee, This day shalt thou 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 a darkness over all the land until 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 when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he expired.
47 Rĩrĩa mũnene wa gĩkundi gĩa thigari igana oonire ũrĩa gwekĩka, akĩgooca Ngai, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itheru ũyũ oima mũndũ mũthingu.”
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly 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 people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
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 followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding 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: [and he was] a good man, and a just:
51 nake ndetĩkanĩtie na ũguo maatuĩte na mageeka. Oimĩte itũũra rĩa Arimathea, bũrũri wa Judea, na nĩetagĩrĩra ũthamaki wa Ngai.
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them) [he was] of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52 Nake agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Pilato, akĩhooya etĩkĩrio akuue mwĩrĩ wa Jesũ.
This [man] went to Pilate, and begged 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 was hewn in stone, in which man was never before laid.
54 Na mũthenya ũcio warĩ wa Ihaarĩria, nayo Thabatũ yarĩ hakuhĩ kwambĩrĩria.
And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 Nao atumia arĩa moimĩte na Jesũ Galili makĩrũmĩrĩra Jusufu, makĩona mbĩrĩra na makĩona ũrĩa mwĩrĩ wake waigirwo ho.
And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld 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 ointments; and rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
