Luk 23
1 Mgbe ahụ, ọha mmadụ ahụ niile biliri duru ya gakwuru Pailet.
And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before 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 man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and 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, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.
4 Mgbe ahụ Pailet gwara ndịisi nchụaja na igwe mmadụ ahụ, “O nweghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m chọpụtara nwoke a mere.”
And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, 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.”
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 Mgbe Pailet nụrụ nke a, ọ jụrụ ma nwoke a ọ bụ onye Galili?
But when Pilate heard it, 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 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 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.
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 Ya mere ọ jụrụ ya ọtụtụ ajụjụ, ma ọ zaghị ya ihe ọbụla.
And he questioned him in many words; 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 the scribes stood, vehemently accusing 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 soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.
12 Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Herọd na Pailet ghọrọ enyi, maka nʼoge gara aga ha bụ ndị iro.
And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 Pailet kpọkọtara ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ndu, na ndị mmadụ ndị ọzọ
And Pilate 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.
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 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 he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by 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.
18 Ma igwe mmadụ ahụ tiri mkpu nʼotu olu sị, “Gbuo nwoke a, hapụrụ anyị Barabas.”
But they cried out all together, 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.)
one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.
20 Dị ka ọ gbalịsịrị ike ịhapụ Jisọs, Pailet gwakwara ha okwu ọzọ.
And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;
21 Ma ha niile tiri mkpu sị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe! Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
but they shouted, saying, Crucify, 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 hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.
23 Ma ha nọgidere na-eti mkpu nʼoke olu ka a kpọgide ya nʼobe, nʼikpeazụ olu iti mkpu ha karịrị.
But they were instant with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
24 Ya mere Pailet kpebiri imere ha ihe ha chọrọ.
And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.
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 him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up 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 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 Igwe mmadụ dị ukwuu soro ya tinyekwara ụmụ nwanyị bụ ndị tiri mkpu akwa ma ruokwara ya ụjụ.
And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who 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 which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that 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 the 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 others, 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 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 Jisọs sịrị, “Nna gbaghara ha nʼihi na ha amataghị ihe ha na-eme.” Ha ji ife nza kee uwe ya nʼetiti onwe ha.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they 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 scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.
36 Ndị agha bịakwara chịa ya ọchị. Ha nyere ya mmanya gbara ụka,
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,
37 ma na-asị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ eze ndị Juu, zọpụtanụ onwe gị.”
and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Ihe e dere nʼelu isi obe ahụ bụ: Onye a bụ Eze ndị Juu.
And there was also a superscription over him, 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, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself 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 answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art 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 hath done nothing amiss.
42 Mgbe ahụ ọ sịrị, “Jisọs, chetakwa m mgbe ị bara nʼalaeze gị.”
And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Ọ sịrị ya, “Nʼezie a agwa m gị, taa, ị ga-anọnyere m na paradaịs.”
And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou 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 now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,
45 Nʼihi na anyanwụ kwụsịrị inye ihe ya. Akwa mgbochi dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu sitere nʼelu gbawaa abụọ.
the sun’s light failing: 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 thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.
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.”
And 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 multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.
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 with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing 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, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a righteous
51 Ọ kwadoghị mkpebi ha na omume ha. Onye sitere Arimatia, nʼotu obodo ndị Juu, onye na-echere ọbịbịa nke alaeze Chineke.
(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 Nwoke a gakwuru Pailet rịọọ ka e bunye ya ahụ Jisọs.
this man went to Pilate, and asked for 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 a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.
54 Ọ bụ Ụbọchị Nkwadebe maka ụbọchị izuike nke na-abịa nso.
And it was the day of 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, which had come with him out of 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 on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
