Luk 23
1 Mgbe ahụ, ọha mmadụ ahụ niile biliri duru ya gakwuru Pailet.
Then they all rose up and led Him to 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 forbiding to give tribute to Cesar; saying, that He himself is Christ the 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, I am as thou sayest.
4 Mgbe ahụ Pailet gwara ndịisi nchụaja na igwe mmadụ ahụ, “O nweghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m chọpụtara nwoke a mere.”
But Pilate said to the chief priests, and to the people, I find nothing criminal 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.”
Then they were more vehement, saying, He stirreth up the people to sedition, spreading his doctrine throughout all Judea: having begun at Galilee and come even to this place.
6 Mgbe Pailet nụrụ nke a, ọ jụrụ ma nwoke a ọ bụ onye Galili?
Now when Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked, if the man were a Galilean:
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 understanding that He was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also 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 Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had of a long time been desirous to see Him, because he had heard much of Him, and he hoped to see some miracle wrought by Him.
9 Ya mere ọ jụrụ ya ọtụtụ ajụjụ, ma ọ zaghị ya ihe ọbụla.
And he asked Him many questions; but He answered him nothing:
10 Ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu guzo nʼebe ahụ gara nʼihu bosie ya ebubo ike.
though the chief priests and 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.
But Herod with his soldiers set Him at nought and insulted Him, and put on Him a gaudy robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Herọd na Pailet ghọrọ enyi, maka nʼoge gara aga ha bụ ndị iro.
And on that same day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other: for before they were at enmity one with the other.
13 Pailet kpọkọtara ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ndu, na ndị mmadụ ndị ọzọ
And Pilate called together the chief priests, and the rulers,
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 the people, and said unto them, Ye have brought to me this man as one that perverteth the people: and behold I have examined Him before you, and found nothing chargeable on Him, of the things you alledge against 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.
nor Herod neither; for I sent you to him, and behold nothing worthy of death is proved upon Him.
16 Ya mere aga m apịa ya ihe hapụ ya ka ọ laa.”
I will therefore chastise Him, and so release Him.
17 Ma ọ dị mkpa na a ga-ahapụ otu onye mkpọrọ nʼoge mmemme.
Now he was obliged to release one to them at the feast.
18 Ma igwe mmadụ ahụ tiri mkpu nʼotu olu sị, “Gbuo nwoke a, hapụrụ anyị Barabas.”
And they all cried out, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:
19 (Onye a tụbara nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi ọgbaaghara dapụtara nʼobodo ahụ, nakwa nʼihi igbu mmadụ.)
(who for a riot in the city, and for murder, was committed to prison: )
20 Dị ka ọ gbalịsịrị ike ịhapụ Jisọs, Pailet gwakwara ha okwu ọzọ.
Pilate therefore spake to them again, being desirous to release Jesus.
21 Ma ha niile tiri mkpu sị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe! Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
But they bawled out, 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 to them a third time, what evil hath He done? I have found nothing in Him deserving death: 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.
But they insisted upon it with loud clamours, demanding Him to be crucified: and their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.
24 Ya mere Pailet kpebiri imere ha ihe ha chọrọ.
So Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded 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 to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they desired; and delivered up 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 when they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon a Cyrenean coming out of the country, and put the cross on him to bear it behind 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 people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented Him: but Jesus turning to them said,
28 Ma Jisọs tụgharịrị sị ha, “Ụmụada Jerusalem, unu eberela m akwa, kama beerenụ onwe unu na ụmụ unu.
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, happy 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 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 to the green wood, what shall be done to 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 his right hand and the other on his 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 they parted his garments, and cast lots for them.
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 looking on, and even the rulers also with them derided Him, saying, He saved others, let Him save Himself, if He be the Christ the chosen of God.
36 Ndị agha bịakwara chịa ya ọchị. Ha nyere ya mmanya gbara ụka,
And the soldiers too insulted Him, coming to Him and offering Him vinegar, saying,
37 ma na-asị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ eze ndị Juu, zọpụtanụ onwe gị.”
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 a superscription written over Him in Greek, and Latin and Hebrew letters, 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 that were executed with Him reviled Him, saying, If thou be the Messiah, 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 rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God neither, when thou thyself 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 rewards 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 unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 Ọ sịrị ya, “Nʼezie a agwa m gị, taa, ị ga-anọnyere m na paradaịs.”
And Jesus answered him, I assure thee, thou shalt be with me this day 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.
Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land till 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 Jesus cried with a loud voice and said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And when He had said thus, He expired.
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 man was righteous.
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 affecting sight, seeing what happened, smote on 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 stood at a distance, and the women that followed Him from Galilee, 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 of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, named Joseph, a counsellor, 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.
(who had not consented to their counsel nor their action; and who was also himself in expectation of the kingdom of God: )
52 Nwoke a gakwuru Pailet rịọọ ka e bunye ya ahụ Jisọs.
he came to 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 sepulchre hewn in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid.
54 Ọ bụ Ụbọchị Nkwadebe maka ụbọchị izuike nke na-abịa nso.
Now that day was the preparation, and the sabbath was coming on:
55 Ndị nwanyị ahụ sitere Galili soro ya hụrụ ili ahụ, hụkwa otu e si nibe ahụ ya nʼime ya.
wherefore the women, that came with Him from Galilee, followed Joseph, and saw the sepulchre, and how the 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.
but returned and prepared spices and perfumes; and then rested on the sabbath-day, according to the commandment.
