Luka 23
1 Lani bi cancannikpeliba taanli kuli den fii ki gedini Jesu gufeneeli Pilata po.
And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.
2 Bi den cili ki kuli o ki yedi: “Ti den laa one ke o yaandi ti niba, ki tua ban da pa o badiciamo Sesa li lubili, ki go tua ke wani oba n tie U Tienu n Gandi Yua o bado.”
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.
3 Pilata den buali Jesu: “A tie Jufinba bado bi?” Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “Fini n yedi yeni.”
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.
4 Pilata den yedi bi kopadicianba yudanba leni ku niligu: “Mii laa ke o joa na tieni tagiliba kuli.”
And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.
5 Bi den nia ki yedi: “O den cili ŋali Galile po ki tagi Jude nni kuli ki pundi ŋali ne, ki bangi bi niba ki tigini ba ke ban yie li bali.”
But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.
6 Pilata n den gbadi ke bi maadi Galile maama, o den buali o joa yeni ya tie Galile yua.
But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
7 Wan den gbadi ke o tie Elodo ya diema yua, o den soani o Elodo po. Li sua ke Elodo ye laa diema laa dana.
And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.
8 Wan den laa Jesu, o pali den mangi boncianla kelima ŋali yogu o den bua ki le o, kelima o den gba ke bi maadi o maama ke o sugini wan tieni mi bancianma wan le.
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 O den buali Jesu i buali boncianla, ama waa den guani o maamaba kuli.
And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10 Bi kopadicianba yudanba leni li balimaama bangikaaba den ye li kani ki kuliti Jesu boncianla kaa cedi.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Elodo den taani leni a minteela ki fali o, ki ñuadi o ki lani o ti tiakiagidi, ki guani o Pilata po.
And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.
12 Hali yogu ti yibalindi den ye Elodo leni Pilata siiga, laa daali liga bi den danli leni biyaba.
And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 Pilata den taani bi kopadicianba yudanba leni Jufinba yudanba leni ku niligu kuli
And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 ki yedi ba: “Yi den cuani n kani o joa na ki yedi ke o yaandi bi niba ki tua ke ban yie li bali. To, n buali o yi nintuali ki sua ke waa tieni liba yin kuli o yaala kuli siiga.
and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
15 Elodo moko naa sua ke o pia tagili, lane ke o guani o ti kani. O joa na ki tieni liba kuli yaala n pundi tin kpa o.
no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.
16 Lanyaapo n ya teni ke bi pua o n baa ŋa o.”
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 Li den sua ke mi pendima jaanma kuli li tie tiladi Pilata n faabi kpaadi yenli ku niligu po.
18 Ku niligu kuli den taani ki tiani: “Teni ban kpa o joa na, ki faabi tipo Balabasa.”
But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 Bi den kuani Balabasa li kadidieli nni kelima o den fiini mi janjanma u dogu nni ki go kpa o nilo moko.
one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.
20 Pilata den bua ki faabi Jesu. Lanyaapo o go den maadi leni ku niligu.
And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;
21 Ama bi den tangi ki tua: “Joani o li dapoanpoanli po, joani o li dapoanpoanli po.”
but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
22 Pilata go den maadi ba mi tataama ki yedi: “O tieni be yo ke li bia? Mii laa ke o tieni ya bonbiadila n pundi mi kuuma. Lanwani n baa teni ban pua o ki ŋa o.”
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.
23 Bi go den ñi ki tangi ki tua ke ban joani o li dapoanpoanli po, ŋali ke bi tantani den paadi Pilata.
But they were instant with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
24 Lanyaapo Pilata den jia ti buudi ki kadi ke ban mia ban tieni Jesu yaala yeni baa tieni.
And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.
25 O den ŋa ban den kuani ya joa li kadidieli nni keli mi janjanma po leni mi nikpama kuli po yeni nani ku niligu n mia maama, ki taa Jesu ki teni ba ke ban tieni o ban bua yaala.
And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
26 Ban den ñani Jesu likani ki caani o ki baan kpa o, bi den tuogi Silena dogu yua ke bi yi o Simono ke o ñani i kuani po. Bi den cuo o ki bugini o li dapoanpoanli wan ya bugi ki ŋua Jesu.
And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.
27 Li nigocianli den ŋua o, bi siiga bi puoba den ye, ki pua bi bena ki mua Jesu po.
And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.
28 O den jigidi ki yedi ba: “Yinba, Jelusalema puoba, da mua mani mini yaapo, ya mua mani yi ya yula po leni yi bila po.
But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Kelima a dana baa ti cua ke bi baa yedi: 'Li pamanli ye leni mu poŋoalimu, yaaba n ki mali leni yaaba n ki ŋaandi biga kuli po.'
For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30 Laa yogunu bi niba baa maadi leni a joaciama ki tua: 'Baa mani tipo,' ki go ya maadi a joabila ki tua: 'Hoagini mani ti.'
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 Kelima bi ya tieni ku dasoagigu yeni, bi baa tieni ku dakuongu mo lede?”
For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Bi go den gedini nikpaba lie ki baa taani ki kpa ba leni Jesu.
And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 Ban den pundi ban yi ya kaanu ku yukuokuogu, bi den joani Jesu li dapoanpoanli po, ki go joani bi nibiadiliediba a dapoanpoana po, yendo Jesu jienu po, o yua mo o ganu po.
And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
34 Jesu den yedi: “N Baa, tieni bipo sugili kelima baa bani ban tiendi yaala.” Bi den toani tiatia ki boagidi o tiayiekaadi.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.
35 ku niligu den se li kani ki diidi. Jufinba yudanba den ñuadi Jesu ki tua: “O den ga nitoaba, o ya tie Kilisiti U Tienu n Gandi Yua, wan ga o yuli.”
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.
36 A minteela moko den ñuadi o ki cua o kani ki teni o mi ñinmiligima ki yedi:
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,
37 “A ya tie Jufinba bado ŋan ga a yuli.”
and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Ya diani n tie na den taabi ki yiini o yuli po: One n tie Jufinba bado.
And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Bi nibiadiliediba yaaba n den juani a dapoanpoana po yeni siiga yendo den sugidi Jesu ki yedi: “Haa tie U Tienu n Gandi Yua kaa? Ga a yuli ki nan ga ti mo.”
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.
40 Ama o lielo den funi leni o ki yedi: Haa jie U Tienu, fini yua n ta leni o joa naa?
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 Tinba yaapo, ya cuonu n tie na tiegi, kelima ti ga ti tuona panpaani, ama one naa tieni bonbiadilaba kuli.”
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 Lani o den yedi: “Jesu ŋan tiadi npo a ya ti cua ki diedi a diema nni ya yogunu.”
And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “N waani a moamoani, ke dinla liga a baa ye leni nni ŋalijani.”
And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 Lan den bua ki pundi u yensicocolu ki yenga den biigi, ke li biigili tieni ki tinga nni kuli ki ya caa ŋali li yenlebidili.
And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,
45 U Tienu diegu kpalidoaginkaabu den padi siiga nni ki boagidi boaga lie.
the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Jesu den kpaani ki yedi: “N Baa, n teni n miali a nuu nni.” Wan den yedi yeni, o den fuo ki jiini.
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.
47 Minteela kobiga yudaano den laa yaala n tieni, o den pagi U Tienu ki yedi: “Moamoani, o joa na den tiegi lige.”
And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
48 Ya nigola n den taani likani ki diidi, n den laa yaala n tieni, bi den lebidi ki kuni ki pua bi bena.
And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.
49 Yaaba n den bani Jesu kuli leni ya puoba n den ciani o ŋali Galile, den se ŋali foagima ki nua yaala n tiendi.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.
50 Jufinba cancannikpeliba taancianli yaaba siiga yendo den ye ke bi yi o Josefi, ya nilo n ŋani ki tiegi,
And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a righteous
51 ki tie Jufinba dogu Halimate yua. O den gu ke U Tienu diema n pundi. Waa den taani leni o lieba bi jagili nni, leni ban den tieni yaala kuli nni.
(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), [a man] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:
52 Laa joa den gedi Pilata kani ki mia o ke wan teni o Jesu o kpiemo.
this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 O den jiini li dapoanpoanli po, ki bobini o bu kpalipienbu, ki duani o li kuli nni. Li den sua ke bi kpiedi li kuli yeni ku tangu po ki daa duani kpiemo kuli lienni.
And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.
54 Laa daali den tie li boginli daali U Tienu fuodima daali po, ke U Tienu fuodima daali cilima bua ki pundi.
And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 Bi puoba, yaaba n den ñani Galile ki ciani Jesu yeni, ki laa li kuli leni wan duani Jesu o kpiemo maama.
And the women, which had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.
56 Lani bi den guani bi denpo ki bogini ya tibidi n pia u nuulimanu, leni tulale. Mi fuodima daali bi den fuodi, nani li balimaama n bili maama.
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
