Luka 23
1 Elikofyanya lyona nilimelegulu, nibhamusila imbele ya Pilato.
The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
2 Nibhamba okumukumila, nibhaikati, “Chamusanga omunu unu nayabhya liyanga lyeswe, naganya chisige okusosha likoti ku Kaisali, naikati, omwene niwe Kristo, Omukama.”
They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king."
3 Pilato namubhusha, naikati,”Angu Nawe Omukama wa Bhayaudi?”Na Yesu nasubhya naikati,”Awe Nawe owaika kutyo”.
Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You say so."
4 Pilato namubhwila omugabhisi mukulu nebhise bhya bhanu ati,”Nitakulola chikayo kumunu unu”.
Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."
5 Nawe abhene nibhesigombela, nibhaikati, “Kayoganya abhanu, neigisha mubhuyudi Yona, okwambila Galilaya na Woli alyanu.”
But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."
6 Pilato ejile ongwa ago, nabhusilisha labha omunu oyo ni wa Galilaya?
But when Pilate heard it, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Ejile amenya kutyo aliga ali mubhukama bhwa Helode, namusila Yesu ku Helode, okubha omwene aliga ali Yelusalemu munsiku ejo.
When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
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 exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 Helode namubhusha Yesu magambo mamfu, nawe Yesu atamubhusishe chinu chona chona.
He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
10 Abhagabhisi bhakulu amwi na bhandiki nibhemelegulu kwo bhujaja nibhamusitaka
The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Helode amwi na bhasilikale bhae, bhamufumile no kumujimya, nibhamugwata echifwalo bhya kisi, nibhamala nibhamusila a Yesu ku Pilato.
Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 Helode na Pilato nibhabha bhasani kwambila olwo (kulwokubha bhaliga bhasokene).
Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
13 Pilato nabhabhilikila abhagabhisi abhakulu na bhatungi ne bhise bhya bhanu,
Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 Nabhabhwila ati,”Mwandetela omunu unu kabhatangasha abhanu bhakole ebhijabhi, Lola, najomubhusha imbele yemwe, ntalola chikayo ingulu yo munu unu ingulu ya jinu omumusitakila.
and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that subverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
15 Uli, nolo Helode, kulwokubha amusubhya kwiswe, Lola gutalio musango gunu akolele gunu gwiile okwitwa.
Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Kulwejo enimubhuma nimala nimutatilila.
I will therefore chastise him and release him."
17 (Woli, kwiile Pilato okumutatilila omubhohywa umwi kumwanya gwa lusiku lukulu olwabhayaudi).
(Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.)
18 Nawe bhona nibhasekana, nibhaikati,”Musosheo oyo, nuchigulile Balaba!”
But they all shouted out together, saying, "Away with this man. Release to us Barabbas"
19 Balaba aliga ali munu unu abhoelwe kwo kukaya mumusi no kwita.
(one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.)
20 Pilato Nabhabhwila lindi, nenda okumutatilila Yesu.
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
21 Nawe abhene nibhayogana nibhaikati, “Mumubhambe, mumubhambe.”
but they shouted, saying, "Crucify. Crucify him."
22 Nabhabhusha ku lwakasatu,”omunu unu akolele chikayoki? Ntabhona chikayo chinu chiile okufwa kwaye. Kulwejo nikamala okumubhuma enimutatila.”
He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him."
23 Nawe abhene nibhakomela kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu, nibhenda abhambhwe. Nobhulaka bhwebhwe nibhukola Pilato nekilisha.
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed.
24 Kulwejo Pilato nabhakolela kutyo bhendaga.
Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
25 Namutatila unu bhendaga unu abhoelwe kwo kusamba no kwita. Nawe namusosha Yesu kwe lyenda lyebhwe.
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
26 Bhejile bhakamusila, nibhamugwata munu umwi unu atogwaga Simoni wa Ukilene, nasoka muchalo, nibhamusila omusalabha abhatule, namulubhaga Yesu.
When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and placed on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus.
27 Ebhise bhya bhanu bhamfu, na bhagasi bhanu bhajubhaga nokulila ingulu yae, bhaliga nibhamulubha.
A large crowd of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented 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, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Lola, jinsiku ejija bhalyaikati,”Bhana libhando bhanu bhatebhuye na mabhele ganu gatanenishe.
For look, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'
30 Niwo bhalyamba okubhwila ebhima,'Chigwile, ne bhisaka,'Muchifundikile.
Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
31 Kulwokubha bhakakola emisango ejo kwiti libhisi, ejibhakutiki kwiti elyumu?”
For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?"
32 Abhalume abhandi, bhakayi bhabhili, bhasililwe amwi nage koleleki bhetwe.
There were also others, two criminals, led 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.
When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
34 Yesu naikati,”Rata, ubhasasile, kulwokubha bhatakumenya chinu abhakola.”Nibhagabhana emyenda jae kwa jikula.
And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
35 Bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu nibhalola abhatangasha nibhamujimya, nibhaikati,”Abhakisishe abhandi. Woli ikisha omwene, labha uli Kristo wa Nyamuanga, omwaulwa.”
The people stood watching. The rulers also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Messiah of God, his Chosen One."
36 Abhasilikale bhona bhamugaile, bhamufogelee omwene nibhamuyana isiki,
The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 nibhaikati,”Labha awe uli Mukama wa Bhayaudi ikisha awe omwene”
and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."
38 Yaliga chilio echibhalikisho ingulu yae inu yaliga yandikilwe “UNU NIWE OMUKAMA WA BHAYAUDI.”
An inscription was also written above him: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
39 Oumwi was bhakayi unu abhambilwe amufumile naikati, “Awe utali Kiristo? ikisha awe neswe”
One of the criminals who hung there insulted him, saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us."
40 Nawe oundi uliya nasubhya, namugonya naikati, “Awe utamubhaya Nyamuanga, awona uli mundamu eyoeyo?
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41 Eswe chilio anu kwe chimali, kulwokubha eswe echibhona chinu chiile kulwebhikolwa bhyeswe. Nawe omunu unu atakolele chibhibhi.”
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."
42 Ongesishe, “Yesu, unyichuke anu ulengila mubhukama bhwao.”
And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."
43 Yes namubhwila ati, “Ikilisha enikubhwila ati, lelo linu oubha nanye Mupaladiso.”
And he said to him, "Assuredly I tell 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 noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,
45 Obhwelu bhwa lisubha bhasimile. Ndiya lipaziya lya muyekalu niligabhanyika katikati okwambila ingulu.
for the sun's light failed. And the veil of the temple was torn in two.
46 Nalila kwo bhulaka bhunene, Yesu naikati, “Rata mumabhoko gao natamo omwoyo gwani,”ejile amala okwaikago, nafwa.
And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last.
47 Awo omukulu wabhasilikale ejile alola ganu gakolekene namukuya Nyamuanga naikati, “Chimali unu sanga ali munu mulengelesi.”
When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man."
48 Anu ebhise bhya bhanu bhejile amwi okulola bhejile okulola jinu gakolekene, bhasubhileyo nibhebhuma kubhifubha bhyebhwe.
All the crowds that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.
49 Nawe abhasani bhae, na bhagasi bhanu bhamulubhile okusoka Galilaya, bhemeleguyu kula nibhalolaga emisango ejo.
All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Lola, aligalio omunu unu atogwaga Yusufu, unu aliga umwi wa libhalaja, munu wakisi na mulengelesi,
And look, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
51 (aliga atekilishanyishe bhulamusi bhwebhwe ne bhikolwa bhyebhwe), okusoka Alimathaya, omusi gwe Chiyaudi, unu aliga nalindilila obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathea, a city of the Judeans, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:
52 Omunu unu, amufogelee Pilato, namusabhwa amuyane omubhili gwa Yesu.
this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 Amutelemusishe, na guta mwisanda, naguta mumfwa inu yaliga isimbilwe kwibhui, munu aliga achali kusikwamo munu.
He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been placed.
54 Lwaliga luli lusiku lwo kwilabha, na Isabhato niilila.
It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Abhagasi, bhanu ejile nabho Yesu okusoka Galilaya, nibhamala nibhaja, nibhalola imfwa na kutyo mubhili gwae gwamamibhwe.
The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was placed.
56 Nibhasubha nibhamba okwilabha ebhinu ebhilange na mafuta amalange. Mbeya olusiku lwa isabhato nibhaumula okulubhana nebhilagilo.
They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
