Luka 23
1 Lani bi cancannikpeliba taanli kuli den fii ki gedini Jesu gufeneeli Pilata po.
And the whole company of them arose, and carried 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, and said: We have found this man seducing our people, and forbidding to pay the capitation money to Caesar, and declaring himself to be king Messiah.
3 Pilata den buali Jesu: “A tie Jufinba bado bi?” Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “Fini n yedi yeni.”
And Pilate interrogated him, and said to him: Art thou king of the Jews? He said to him: Thou hast said.
4 Pilata den yedi bi kopadicianba yudanba leni ku niligu: “Mii laa ke o joa na tieni tagiliba kuli.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the company: I find no crime upon 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.”
And they vociferated, and said: He raiseth disturbance among our people, by teaching in all Judaea, commencing from Galilee, and quite to this place.
6 Pilata n den gbadi ke bi maadi Galile maama, o den buali o joa yeni ya tie Galile yua.
And Pilate, when he heard the name Galilee, inquired if the man were a Galilean.
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 having learned that he was from under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod; for he was at Jerusalem on those 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 rejoiced greatly when he saw Jesus, for he had been desirous to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things of him, and he hoped to see some sign from him.
9 O den buali Jesu i buali boncianla, ama waa den guani o maamaba kuli.
And he asked him many questions; but Jesus gave him no reply.
10 Bi kopadicianba yudanba leni li balimaama bangikaaba den ye li kani ki kuliti Jesu boncianla kaa cedi.
And the chief priests and Scribes stood up, and accused him vehemently.
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 and his warriors contemned him. And when he had mocked him, he clothed him in a purple robe, and sent him to Pilate.
12 Hali yogu ti yibalindi den ye Elodo leni Pilata siiga, laa daali liga bi den danli leni biyaba.
And on that day, Pilate and Herod became friends to each other; for there had previously been enmity between them.
13 Pilata den taani bi kopadicianba yudanba leni Jufinba yudanba leni ku niligu kuli
And Pilate called the chief priests and the rulers of 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 to them: Ye have brought this man before me, as a disturber of your people; and lo, I have examined him before you, and I find in the man no crime, among all that ye charge upon 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.
Neither yet Herod: for I sent him to him, and lo, nothing deserving 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.
For it was a custom, that he should release one at the festival.
18 Ku niligu kuli den taani ki tiani: “Teni ban kpa o joa na, ki faabi tipo Balabasa.”
And all the company vociferated, and said: Away with this man; and release to 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.
He was one who had been thrown into prison, on account of a sedition and murder which had occurred in the city.
20 Pilata den bua ki faabi Jesu. Lanyaapo o go den maadi leni ku niligu.
And Pilate, being disposed to release Jesus, conversed with them again.
21 Ama bi den tangi ki tua: “Joani o li dapoanpoanli po, joani o li dapoanpoanli po.”
But they cried out, and said: Crucify him; 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 to them the third time: But, what evil hath he done? I find no crime in him deserving of death. I will scourge him, therefore, 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 urgent, with a loud voice; and demanded of him, that they might crucify him.
24 Lanyaapo Pilata den jia ti buudi ki kadi ke ban mia ban tieni Jesu yaala yeni baa tieni.
And Pilate decreed, that their request 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 he released to them him, who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, for whom they petitioned; and he delivered up Jesus to their pleasure.
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 seized Simon the Cyrenian, coming from the fields. and laid upon 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 after him a great multitude of people; and those women also who wailed and lamented over 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.
And Jesus turned to them, and said to them: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep rather 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 lo, the days are coming, in which they will say: Happy the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.
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 to the mountains, Fall upon 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 a green tree, what will be in the dry?
32 Bi go den gedini nikpaba lie ki baa taani ki kpa ba leni Jesu.
And there went along with him two others, malefactors, to be crucified.
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 to a certain place which is called a Skull, they crucified him there; and the two malefactors, the one on his right hand, and the other on his 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 they divided his garments, casting a lot upon them.
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 and looked on; and the rulers also derided him, and said: He quickened others; let him quicken himself, if he is the Messiah, the chosen of God.
36 A minteela moko den ñuadi o ki cua o kani ki teni o mi ñinmiligima ki yedi:
And the soldiers like wise mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 “A ya tie Jufinba bado ŋan ga a yuli.”
and saying to him: If thou art the king of the Jews, quicken thyself.
38 Ya diani n tie na den taabi ki yiini o yuli po: One n tie Jufinba bado.
And there was likewise a superscription over him, written in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: 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 who were crucified with him, reproached him, and said: If thou art the Messiah, rescue thyself, and rescue us.
40 Ama o lielo den funi leni o ki yedi: Haa jie U Tienu, fini yua n ta leni o joa naa?
But his fellow Malefactor rebuked him, said to him: Art thou not afraid even of God, seeing thou art under the same sentence?
41 Tinba yaapo, ya cuonu n tie na tiegi, kelima ti ga ti tuona panpaani, ama one naa tieni bonbiadilaba kuli.”
And we justly; for we have a retribution according to our deserts, and according to our deeds; but nothing hateful hath been done by him.
42 Lani o den yedi: “Jesu ŋan tiadi npo a ya ti cua ki diedi a diema nni ya yogunu.”
And he said to Jesus: My Lord, remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “N waani a moamoani, ke dinla liga a baa ye leni nni ŋalijani.”
Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, That this day thou shalt 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 about the sixth hour; and darkness was over all the land, until the ninth hour.
45 U Tienu diegu kpalidoaginkaabu den padi siiga nni ki boagidi boaga lie.
And the sun was darkened, and the curtain of the door of the temple was rent through its middle.
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 Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said: My Father, into thy hand I commit my spirit. Thus he spake, and expired.
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 occurred, he glorified God and said: 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 who had assembled at this spectacle, on seeing what occurred, returned, smiting upon 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 there were standing at a distance, all they that knew Jesus, and those women who came with him from Galilee; and they beheld these things.
50 Jufinba cancannikpeliba taancianli yaaba siiga yendo den ye ke bi yi o Josefi, ya nilo n ŋani ki tiegi,
And there was a certain man, whose name was Joseph, a counsellor, from Ramath a city of Judaea, who was a good man and 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.
and he had not consented to their decision and deed; and he was waiting 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 begged 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 winding-sheet of linen; and laid it in an excavated sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.
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 preparation, and the sabbath began 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 those women who came with him from Galilee, approached, and viewed the sepulchre, and the manner in which the body was deposited.
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 perfumes and aromatics; and they rested on the sabbath, as it is commanded.
