Luka 23
1 Lani bi cancannikpeliba taanli kuli den fii ki gedini Jesu gufeneeli Pilata po.
And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto 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—This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar, —and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.
3 Pilata den buali Jesu: “A tie Jufinba bado bi?” Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “Fini n yedi yeni.”
And, Pilate, questioned him, saying—Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, 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 High-priests and the multitudes, Nothing, find I, worthy of blame, 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, began to be urgent, saying—He is stirring up the people, teaching along all Judaea, even beginning from Galilee unto this place.
6 Pilata n den gbadi ke bi maadi Galile maama, o den buali o joa yeni ya tie Galile yua.
Now, Pilate, hearing [that], questioned whether the man was, 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, getting to know that he was of the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he also, being in 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.
And, Herod, seeing Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly; for he had been, a considerable number of times, wishing to see him, —because he had heard concerning him, and was hoping, some sign, to behold, by him, brought to pass.
9 O den buali Jesu i buali boncianla, ama waa den guani o maamaba kuli.
And he went on to question him in a good 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 High-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 soldiery, having set him at nought, and mocked him, threw about him a gorgeous robe, and sent him back unto Pilate.
12 Hali yogu ti yibalindi den ye Elodo leni Pilata siiga, laa daali liga bi den danli leni biyaba.
And they became friends—both Herod and Pilate—on the self-same day, one with another; for they had previously been at enmity between themselves.
13 Pilata den taani bi kopadicianba yudanba leni Jufinba yudanba leni ku niligu kuli
And, Pilate, calling together the High-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.
said unto them—Ye brought unto me this man, as one turning away the people, and lo! I, in your presence, examining him, found, nothing, in this man worthy of blame, in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against 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.
Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you, —and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him.
16 Lanyaapo n ya teni ke bi pua o n baa ŋa o.”
So, then, chastising him, I will 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 aloud, with the whole throng, 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.
who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison.
20 Pilata den bua ki faabi Jesu. Lanyaapo o go den maadi leni ku niligu.
Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus.
21 Ama bi den tangi ki tua: “Joani o li dapoanpoanli po, joani o li dapoanpoanli po.”
But, they, called out in return, 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.”
But, he, the third time, said unto them—Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will 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 became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail.
24 Lanyaapo Pilata den jia ti buudi ki kadi ke ban mia ban tieni Jesu yaala yeni baa tieni.
And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;
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 released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, —whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto 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, as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, —they laid on him the cross, that he might 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 was following him a great throng of the people, and of women, who were smiting themselves and lamenting 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, turning towards them, Jesus said—Daughters of Jerusalem! Do not weep for me; but, for yourselves, be weeping, 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 lo! days are coming, in which they will say—Happy the barren! even 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, will they begin to say—unto the mountains, Fall upon us! and unto the hills, Cover us!
31 Kelima bi ya tieni ku dasoagigu yeni, bi baa tieni ku dakuongu mo lede?”
Because if, in moist wood, these things, they are doing, —in, the dry, what shall happen?
32 Bi go den gedini nikpaba lie ki baa taani ki kpa ba leni Jesu.
And there were being led, two other evil-doers also, to be lifted up.
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 into the place which was called Skull, there, they crucified him; and the evil-doers, one indeed 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.
But, Jesus, was saying—Father! forgive them; for they know not what they do. And, when they were parting his garments, 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 were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying—Others, he saved, let him save himself, —if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen.
36 A minteela moko den ñuadi o ki cua o kani ki teni o mi ñinmiligima ki yedi:
Moreover the soldiers also mocked him, —coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him,
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.
Now there was an inscription also, over him—THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!
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 suspended evil-doers, began to defame him—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, answering, rebuked him, and said—Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment?
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, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done.
42 Lani o den yedi: “Jesu ŋan tiadi npo a ya ti cua ki diedi a diema nni ya yogunu.”
And he went on to say—Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into 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 this day: With me, shalt thou be 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 already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour, —
45 U Tienu diegu kpalidoaginkaabu den padi siiga nni ki boagidi boaga lie.
the sun 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, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said—Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.
47 Minteela kobiga yudaano den laa yaala n tieni, o den pagi U Tienu ki yedi: “Moamoani, o joa na den tiegi lige.”
And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying—In very deed, this man, was, righteous.
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 who had been drawn together unto this spectacle, having looked upon the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts, began to return.
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.
But all they who were acquainted with him, were standing afar off, women also who had followed with him from Galilee, —beholding these things.
50 Jufinba cancannikpeliba taancianli yaaba siiga yendo den ye ke bi yi o Josefi, ya nilo n ŋani ki tiegi,
And lo! a man, by name Joseph, being, a councillor, —a good and righteous man
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.
(the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), —from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God,
52 Laa joa den gedi Pilata kani ki mia o ke wan teni o Jesu o kpiemo.
the same, going unto Pilate, claimed 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, taking it down, he wrapped it in a fine Indian cloth, and laid him in a tomb hewn in stone, —where no one as yet was lying.
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 a day of preparation, and, a Sabbath, was about to dawn.
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, they who had come out of Galilee with him, following after, observed 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, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;
