Luka 23
1 Elikofyanya lyona nilimelegulu, nibhamusila imbele ya Pilato.
And they all went and took him before Pilate.
2 Nibhamba okumukumila, nibhaikati, “Chamusanga omunu unu nayabhya liyanga lyeswe, naganya chisige okusosha likoti ku Kaisali, naikati, omwene niwe Kristo, Omukama.”
And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
3 Pilato namubhusha, naikati,”Angu Nawe Omukama wa Bhayaudi?”Na Yesu nasubhya naikati,”Awe Nawe owaika kutyo”.
And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.
4 Pilato namubhwila omugabhisi mukulu nebhise bhya bhanu ati,”Nitakulola chikayo kumunu unu”.
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.
5 Nawe abhene nibhesigombela, nibhaikati, “Kayoganya abhanu, neigisha mubhuyudi Yona, okwambila Galilaya na Woli alyanu.”
But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.
6 Pilato ejile ongwa ago, nabhusilisha labha omunu oyo ni wa Galilaya?
But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?
7 Ejile amenya kutyo aliga ali mubhukama bhwa Helode, namusila Yesu ku Helode, okubha omwene aliga ali Yelusalemu munsiku ejo.
And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.
8 Helode ejile amulola Yesu, akondelewe muno kulwokubha endaga okumulola nsiku nyamfu. Ongwaga jinkuma jae endaga okulola echilugusho nolo chimwi nchikolwa nage.
Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.
9 Helode namubhusha Yesu magambo mamfu, nawe Yesu atamubhusishe chinu chona chona.
And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.
10 Abhagabhisi bhakulu amwi na bhandiki nibhemelegulu kwo bhujaja nibhamusitaka
And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.
11 Helode amwi na bhasilikale bhae, bhamufumile no kumujimya, nibhamugwata echifwalo bhya kisi, nibhamala nibhamusila a Yesu ku Pilato.
And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Helode na Pilato nibhabha bhasani kwambila olwo (kulwokubha bhaliga bhasokene).
And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.
13 Pilato nabhabhilikila abhagabhisi abhakulu na bhatungi ne bhise bhya bhanu,
And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,
14 Nabhabhwila ati,”Mwandetela omunu unu kabhatangasha abhanu bhakole ebhijabhi, Lola, najomubhusha imbele yemwe, ntalola chikayo ingulu yo munu unu ingulu ya jinu omumusitakila.
You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:
15 Uli, nolo Helode, kulwokubha amusubhya kwiswe, Lola gutalio musango gunu akolele gunu gwiile okwitwa.
And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.
16 Kulwejo enimubhuma nimala nimutatilila.
And so I will give him punishment and let him go.
17 (Woli, kwiile Pilato okumutatilila omubhohywa umwi kumwanya gwa lusiku lukulu olwabhayaudi).
18 Nawe bhona nibhasekana, nibhaikati,”Musosheo oyo, nuchigulile Balaba!”
But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.
19 Balaba aliga ali munu unu abhoelwe kwo kukaya mumusi no kwita.
Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.
20 Pilato Nabhabhwila lindi, nenda okumutatilila Yesu.
And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.
21 Nawe abhene nibhayogana nibhaikati, “Mumubhambe, mumubhambe.”
But crying out they said, To the cross with him!
22 Nabhabhusha ku lwakasatu,”omunu unu akolele chikayoki? Ntabhona chikayo chinu chiile okufwa kwaye. Kulwejo nikamala okumubhuma enimutatila.”
And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.
23 Nawe abhene nibhakomela kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu, nibhenda abhambhwe. Nobhulaka bhwebhwe nibhukola Pilato nekilisha.
But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.
24 Kulwejo Pilato nabhakolela kutyo bhendaga.
And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.
25 Namutatila unu bhendaga unu abhoelwe kwo kusamba no kwita. Nawe namusosha Yesu kwe lyenda lyebhwe.
And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.
26 Bhejile bhakamusila, nibhamugwata munu umwi unu atogwaga Simoni wa Ukilene, nasoka muchalo, nibhamusila omusalabha abhatule, namulubhaga Yesu.
And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.
27 Ebhise bhya bhanu bhamfu, na bhagasi bhanu bhajubhaga nokulila ingulu yae, bhaliga nibhamulubha.
And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.
28 Nawe nabhekebhukila, Yesu Nabhabhwila ati,”Bhaalakaji bha Yelusalemu, musige kundilila anye, mwililile emwe abhene na ingulu ya bhana bhemwe.
But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.
29 Lola, jinsiku ejija bhalyaikati,”Bhana libhando bhanu bhatebhuye na mabhele ganu gatanenishe.
For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.
30 Niwo bhalyamba okubhwila ebhima,'Chigwile, ne bhisaka,'Muchifundikile.
And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.
31 Kulwokubha bhakakola emisango ejo kwiti libhisi, ejibhakutiki kwiti elyumu?”
For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?
32 Abhalume abhandi, bhakayi bhabhili, bhasililwe amwi nage koleleki bhetwe.
And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.
33 Bhejile bhakinga Anu katogwa Fuvu la kichwa, niwo nibhamubhuma amwi na bhakayi, oumwi mukubhoko kwe bhulyo no oundi mukubhoko kwe bhumosi.
And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.
34 Yesu naikati,”Rata, ubhasasile, kulwokubha bhatakumenya chinu abhakola.”Nibhagabhana emyenda jae kwa jikula.
And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.
35 Bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu nibhalola abhatangasha nibhamujimya, nibhaikati,”Abhakisishe abhandi. Woli ikisha omwene, labha uli Kristo wa Nyamuanga, omwaulwa.”
And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.
36 Abhasilikale bhona bhamugaile, bhamufogelee omwene nibhamuyana isiki,
And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,
37 nibhaikati,”Labha awe uli Mukama wa Bhayaudi ikisha awe omwene”
And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.
38 Yaliga chilio echibhalikisho ingulu yae inu yaliga yandikilwe “UNU NIWE OMUKAMA WA BHAYAUDI.”
And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Oumwi was bhakayi unu abhambilwe amufumile naikati, “Awe utali Kiristo? ikisha awe neswe”
And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.
40 Nawe oundi uliya nasubhya, namugonya naikati, “Awe utamubhaya Nyamuanga, awona uli mundamu eyoeyo?
But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,
41 Eswe chilio anu kwe chimali, kulwokubha eswe echibhona chinu chiile kulwebhikolwa bhyeswe. Nawe omunu unu atakolele chibhibhi.”
And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.
42 Ongesishe, “Yesu, unyichuke anu ulengila mubhukama bhwao.”
And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.
43 Yes namubhwila ati, “Ikilisha enikubhwila ati, lelo linu oubha nanye Mupaladiso.”
And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.
44 Awo jaliga nijifogela saa sita mumwisi, echisute nichijula ingulu ye chalo okukinga saa tisa,
And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;
45 Obhwelu bhwa lisubha bhasimile. Ndiya lipaziya lya muyekalu niligabhanyika katikati okwambila ingulu.
The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.
46 Nalila kwo bhulaka bhunene, Yesu naikati, “Rata mumabhoko gao natamo omwoyo gwani,”ejile amala okwaikago, nafwa.
And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.
47 Awo omukulu wabhasilikale ejile alola ganu gakolekene namukuya Nyamuanga naikati, “Chimali unu sanga ali munu mulengelesi.”
And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.
48 Anu ebhise bhya bhanu bhejile amwi okulola bhejile okulola jinu gakolekene, bhasubhileyo nibhebhuma kubhifubha bhyebhwe.
And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.
49 Nawe abhasani bhae, na bhagasi bhanu bhamulubhile okusoka Galilaya, bhemeleguyu kula nibhalolaga emisango ejo.
And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.
50 Lola, aligalio omunu unu atogwaga Yusufu, unu aliga umwi wa libhalaja, munu wakisi na mulengelesi,
Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man
51 (aliga atekilishanyishe bhulamusi bhwebhwe ne bhikolwa bhyebhwe), okusoka Alimathaya, omusi gwe Chiyaudi, unu aliga nalindilila obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
(He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:
52 Omunu unu, amufogelee Pilato, namusabhwa amuyane omubhili gwa Yesu.
This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.
53 Amutelemusishe, na guta mwisanda, naguta mumfwa inu yaliga isimbilwe kwibhui, munu aliga achali kusikwamo munu.
And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.
54 Lwaliga luli lusiku lwo kwilabha, na Isabhato niilila.
Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.
55 Abhagasi, bhanu ejile nabho Yesu okusoka Galilaya, nibhamala nibhaja, nibhalola imfwa na kutyo mubhili gwae gwamamibhwe.
And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;
56 Nibhasubha nibhamba okwilabha ebhinu ebhilange na mafuta amalange. Mbeya olusiku lwa isabhato nibhaumula okulubhana nebhilagilo.
And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.
