Luk 23
1 Mgbe ahụ, ọha mmadụ ahụ niile biliri duru ya gakwuru Pailet.
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
2 Ha malitere ibo ya ebubo na-asị, “Anyị chọpụtara na nwoke a na-eduhie ndị obodo anyị niile, na-egbochikwa ha ịtụ ụtụ isi nye Siza, ma na-ekwukwa na ya bụ Kraịst, Eze.”
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
3 Ya mere Pailet jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ eze ndị Juu?” Ọ zara ya sị, “Gị onwe gị kwuru otu a.”
And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say it.
4 Mgbe ahụ Pailet gwara ndịisi nchụaja na igwe mmadụ ahụ, “O nweghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m chọpụtara nwoke a mere.”
Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
5 Ma ha gara nʼihu na-asị, “Ọ na-akpasu ọgbaaghara nʼala ndị Judịa niile site nʼozizi ya. Ọ malitere na Galili, ọ bịakwala ebe a ugbu a.”
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 Mgbe Pailet nụrụ nke a, ọ jụrụ ma nwoke a ọ bụ onye Galili?
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
7 Mgbe ọ matara na o si nʼebe Herọd na-achị, o nyere iwu ka e dugara ya Herọd, onye nọkwa na Jerusalem mgbe ahụ.
And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
8 Obi tọrọ Herọd ụtọ nke ukwuu, mgbe ọ hụrụ Jisọs nʼihi na ọ nọ na-achọ ịhụ ya anya nʼoge dị anya gara aga. Sitekwa nʼakụkọ ọ nụrụ banyere ya, o lere anya na ọ ga-arụ ọrụ ebube ụfọdụ.
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
9 Ya mere ọ jụrụ ya ọtụtụ ajụjụ, ma ọ zaghị ya ihe ọbụla.
Then he questioned with him in many words; (logos) but he answered him nothing.
10 Ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu guzo nʼebe ahụ gara nʼihu bosie ya ebubo ike.
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11 Emesịa, Herọd na ndị agha ya jiri ya mee ihe ọchị, ma kwaakwa ya emo. Ha yikwasịrị ya uwe mwụda mara mma ma zighachikwara ya Pailet.
And Herod with his men of war set him at nothing, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Herọd na Pailet ghọrọ enyi, maka nʼoge gara aga ha bụ ndị iro.
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 Pailet kpọkọtara ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ndu, na ndị mmadụ ndị ọzọ
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 sị ha, “Unu kpọtaara m nwoke a dị ka otu onye nʼime ndị na-akpali ndị mmadụ inupu isi. Ajụọla m ya ajụjụ nʼihu unu ma achọpụtaghị m ihe ọbụla nke unu kwesiri iji boo ya ebubo.
Said unto them, All of you have brought this man unto me, as one that perverts the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man concerning those things whereof all of you accuse him:
15 Ọ bụladị Herọd achọpụtaghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla nʼaka ya, nke a mere o jiri kpụghachitere anyị ya. Leenụ, o nweghị ihe ọbụla o mere e kwesiri iji maa ya ikpe ọnwụ.
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
16 Ya mere aga m apịa ya ihe hapụ ya ka ọ laa.”
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 Ma ọ dị mkpa na a ga-ahapụ otu onye mkpọrọ nʼoge mmemme.
(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
18 Ma igwe mmadụ ahụ tiri mkpu nʼotu olu sị, “Gbuo nwoke a, hapụrụ anyị Barabas.”
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 (Onye a tụbara nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi ọgbaaghara dapụtara nʼobodo ahụ, nakwa nʼihi igbu mmadụ.)
(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
20 Dị ka ọ gbalịsịrị ike ịhapụ Jisọs, Pailet gwakwara ha okwu ọzọ.
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
21 Ma ha niile tiri mkpu sị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe! Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
22 Ọ sịrị ha na nke ugboro atọ, “Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị? Olee ihe ọjọọ nwoke a mere? O nweghị ihe ọbụla m chọpụtara nʼaka ya kwesiri iwetara ya ọnwụ. Ya mere aga m ata ya ahụhụ, hapụ ya.”
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
23 Ma ha nọgidere na-eti mkpu nʼoke olu ka a kpọgide ya nʼobe, nʼikpeazụ olu iti mkpu ha karịrị.
And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 Ya mere Pailet kpebiri imere ha ihe ha chọrọ.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25 Ọ hapụrụ nwoke ahụ ha chọrọ nke a tụbara nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi ọgbaaghara na igbu mmadụ, ma nyefee ha Jisọs nʼaka.
And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
26 Dị ka ha duu ya na-aga, ha jidere Saimọn onye Sirini bụ onye si nʼime otu obodo nta na-alọbata; ha boro ya obe ahụ, manye ya ka o buru ya na-eso Jisọs na-azụ.
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 Igwe mmadụ dị ukwuu soro ya tinyekwara ụmụ nwanyị bụ ndị tiri mkpu akwa ma ruokwara ya ụjụ.
And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
28 Ma Jisọs tụgharịrị sị ha, “Ụmụada Jerusalem, unu eberela m akwa, kama beerenụ onwe unu na ụmụ unu.
But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Nʼihi na oge na-abịa mgbe unu ga-asị, ‘Ngọzị na-adịrị ụmụ nwanyị aga, akpanwa ndị na-amụghị nwa, na ara ndị na-enweghị onye ṅụrụ ha.’
For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breast which never gave suck.
30 Mgbe ahụ, “‘ha ga-asị, ugwu ukwu niile, “Dakwasị anyị!” Sịkwa, ugwu nta, “Kpuchite anyị!”’
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ha mee ọhịa otu a mgbe ahịhịa dị ndụ dị na ya, gịnị ga-emekwanụ mgbe ọ kpọrọ nkụ?”
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Ha dukwaara mmadụ abụọ bụ ndị ohi gaa igbu ha na ya.
And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼebe a na-akpọ Okpokoro Isi, ebe ahụ ka ha kpọgidere ya nʼobe ya na ndị ohi abụọ ahụ. Otu nʼaka nri ya nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe ya.
And when they were 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 Jisọs sịrị, “Nna gbaghara ha nʼihi na ha amataghị ihe ha na-eme.” Ha ji ife nza kee uwe ya nʼetiti onwe ha.
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
35 Ndị mmadụ guzoro ebe ahụ na-ele anya, ka ndị ọchịchị ji ya na-eme ihe ọchị, na-asị, “Ọ zọpụtara ndị ọzọ, ya zọpụtanụ onwe ya, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ Kraịst nke Chineke, bụ Onye a họpụtara.”
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
36 Ndị agha bịakwara chịa ya ọchị. Ha nyere ya mmanya gbara ụka,
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 ma na-asị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ eze ndị Juu, zọpụtanụ onwe gị.”
And saying, If you be the king of the Jews, save yourself.
38 Ihe e dere nʼelu isi obe ahụ bụ: Onye a bụ Eze ndị Juu.
And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Otu onye nʼime ndị ohi ahụ a kpọgidekwara nʼobe nʼebe ahụ kparịkwara ya sị, “Ọ bụghị gị bụ Kraịst? Zọpụtanụ onwe gị ma zọpụtakwa anyị.”
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If you be Christ, save yourself and us.
40 Ma onye nke ọzọ a makwara ikpe ọnwụ baara ya mba sị, “Ị naghị atụ Chineke egwu, ị hụghị na a mara gị ikpe dị ka e si maa ya.
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Do not you fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?
41 Anyị na-ata ahụhụ kwesiri anyị, nʼihi na a na-ata anyị ahụhụ nʼihi ihe anyị mere, ma nwoke a emeghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla.”
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.
42 Mgbe ahụ ọ sịrị, “Jisọs, chetakwa m mgbe ị bara nʼalaeze gị.”
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
43 Ọ sịrị ya, “Nʼezie a agwa m gị, taa, ị ga-anọnyere m na paradaịs.”
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto you, To day shall you be with me in paradise.
44 Mgbe ọ na-eru ihe dị ka elekere iri na abụọ nke ehihie, ọchịchịrị gbachikọtara nʼala ahụ niile ruo elekere atọ nke ehihie.
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 Nʼihi na anyanwụ kwụsịrị inye ihe ya. Akwa mgbochi dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu sitere nʼelu gbawaa abụọ.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Jisọs tiri mkpu nʼoke olu sị, “Nna, nʼaka gị ka m na-enyefe mmụọ m.” Mgbe o kwusiri nke a, o kubiri ume.
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: (pneuma) and having said thus, he gave up the spirit.
47 Mgbe ọchịagha na-achị otu narị ndị agha hụrụ ihe merenụ, o nyere Chineke otuto ma kwuokwa sị, “Nʼezie nwoke a bụ onye ezi omume.”
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
48 Mgbe igwe mmadụ niile gbakọtara ilere anya hụrụ ihe mere, ha laghachiri nʼụlọ ha na-eti aka nʼobi.
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, stroke their breasts, and returned.
49 Ma ndị niile maara onye ọ bụ, tinyekwara ụmụ nwanyị ndị soro ya si Galili bịa, guzokwara nʼebe dị anya na-ele ihe ndị a.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood far off, beholding these things.
50 O nwere otu nwoke aha ya bụ Josef, onye so nʼotu ndịisi ụlọ nzukọ. Ọ bụ ezigbo mmadụ na onye aka ya kwụ ọtọ.
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
51 Ọ kwadoghị mkpebi ha na omume ha. Onye sitere Arimatia, nʼotu obodo ndị Juu, onye na-echere ọbịbịa nke alaeze Chineke.
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; ) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52 Nwoke a gakwuru Pailet rịọọ ka e bunye ya ahụ Jisọs.
This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 Ya mere, o budatara ya fụchie ya nʼakwa ọcha linin, tinye ya nʼili e gwuru nʼọgba nkume, nke a na-etinyebeghị mmadụ na mbụ.
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
54 Ọ bụ Ụbọchị Nkwadebe maka ụbọchị izuike nke na-abịa nso.
And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 Ndị nwanyị ahụ sitere Galili soro ya hụrụ ili ahụ, hụkwa otu e si nibe ahụ ya nʼime ya.
And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.
56 Emesịa ha laghachiri ga kwadoo mmanụ otite nke e tinyere ọtụtụ ụda. Nʼụbọchị izuike ha zukwara ike dịka ọ dị nʼiwu.
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
