Luka 23
1 Mkutano bhoha bhukajhema bhakampeleka Yesu mbele jha Pilato.
Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.
2 Bhakajhanda kun'shutumu, bhakajobha, “Tumbwene munu ojho ipotosya taifa lya tete, kwa kubesya tusihomesi kodi kwa Kaisari, ni kujobha kujha muene ndo Kristu, Mfalme.”
And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”
3 Pilato akan'kota, akajobha, “Je bhebhe ndo Mfalme ghwa bhayahudi?” Ni Yesu akan'jibu akajobha, “Bhebhe nijobha naha”.
So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 Pilato akan'jobhela kuhani mbaha ni makutano, “Nikalibhona lepi likosa kwa munu ojho”.
Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 Lakini bhene bhasisitizi, bhakajobha, “Abhachocheleghe bhanu, ifundisya mu uyahudi bhuoha, kubhwanzila Galilaya ni henu ajhele apa.”
But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
6 Pilato bho ap'eliki agha, akakotelesya kama munu ojho ghwa Galilaya?
When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Bho amanyili kujha ajhele chini jha utawala bhwa Herode, ampeliki Yesu kwa Herode, ambajhe ni muene ajhele Yerusalemu kwa magono aghu.
And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Herode bho ambwene Yesu, ahobhwiki kweli kwa ndabha alondeghe kumbona kwa magono ghamehele. Ap'eliki habari sya muene na anogheleghe ligono limonga kulola miujiza jhibhombeka ni muene.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.
9 Herode an'kotili Yesu kwa malobhi ghamehele lakini Yesu an'jibili lepi kyokyoha.
Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.
10 Makuhani bhabhaha pamonga ni bhaandishi bhajhemili kwa ukali bhikan'takila.
Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.
11 Herode pamonga ni maaskari bha muene, bhandighili ni kumdhihaki, kwa kumfwatika maguanda manofu, kisha akan'kerebhusya Yesu kwa Pilato.
And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.
12 Herode ni Pilato bhakajha marafiki kujhandi ligono e'lu, (kabla jha apu bhajhele maadui).
That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
13 Pilato akabhakuta pamonga makuhani bhabhaha ni bhatawala ni umati bhwa bhanu,
Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 Akabhajobhela, “Mundetili munu ojho kama munu jha akabhalongosya bhanu kubhombi manofulepi, na langayi, baada jha kujha nin'hojili mbele jha muenga, nikabhwene lepi likosa kwa munu ojho kuhusu mambo ghoha muenga gha mukan'takila.
and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
15 Lepi, wala Herode, kwa ndabha Herode an'kerebhuisi kwa tete, na langayi kijhelepi kyokyoha kyaakibhombili kyakilondeka adhabu jha kufwa.
Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
16 Kwa hiyo nibeta kun'tobha ni kundekesela.
Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
17 (Henu, Pilato iwajibika kundekesela mfungwa mmonga kwa bhayahudi wakati bhwa sikukuu).
18 Lakini bhoha bhapigili kelele pamonga, bhakajobha, “Umbosyajhi ojhu, ni tubhopolelejhi Baraba!”
But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
19 Baraba ajhele munu jha abhekibhu mu ligereza kwa ndabha jha uasi fulani mu jiji ni kukoma.
(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 Pilato akabhajobhela kabhele, inoghela kundekesela Yesu.
Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
21 Lakini bhene bhapigili kelele, bhakajobha, “N'sulubisiajhi, N'sulubisiajhi.”
but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
22 Akabhakota kwa mara jha tatu, “kwandajha kiki, munu ojho akhetili maovu ghaloki? nikabhilepi likosa lya lilondeka adhabu jha kifo kwa muene. Henu panibeta kumala kun'tobha nikandekesela.”
A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”
23 Lakini bhakasisitiza kwa sauti jha panani, bhakajha bhilonda asulubisibhwajhi. Ni sauti sya bhene syan'shawishi Pilato.
But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.
24 Hivyo Pilato akaamula kubhapela matakwa gha bhene.
So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.
25 Akandekesela jhola jha bhandondeghe ambajhe afungibhu kwa kusababisya ghasia ni kukoma. Lakini akambosya Yesu kwa matakwa gha bhene.
As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.
26 Bho bhakampeleka, bhan'kamuili munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Simoni wa Ukirene, akajha ihomela mu nchi, bhakan'tweka n'salaba ili ap'endayi, kun'kesya Yesu.
As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.
27 Umati mbaha bhwa bhanu, ni bhadala ambabho bhahuzuniki ni kuombolesya kwa ndabha jha muene bhakajha bhakan'kesya.
A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
28 Lakini akabhageukila, Yesu akabhajobhela, “Bhahenja bha Yerusalemu, musinileleli nene, bali mukilelelajhi mwebhene kwa ndabha jha bhanabhinu.
But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Langayi, magono ghihida bhibeta kujobha, “Bhabarikibhu bhabhajhele tasa ni malemeghaghabeli kuhogola, ni mabhele ambagho ghajhong'isi lepi.
Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
30 Ndipo pabhibeta kuijobhela fidonda, 'Mutubinilayi,' ni filima, 'mutufunikayi.'
At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
31 Mana kama bhabhabhombili mambo agha ikajhiajhi libehe libhesi, ibeta kujha bhuli KU lijhomu?”
For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 bhagosi bhangi, bhabhele, bhapelekibhu pamonga ni muene ili bhakomibhwayi.
Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
33 Bhobhafikili mahali papikutibhwa fuvu lya mutu, ndipo bhan'sulubisi pamonga ni bhala bhahalifu, mmonga upande bhwa kulia ni jhongi bhwa kushoto.
When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.
34 Yesu ajobhili, “Dadi ubhasamehajhi, kwandabha bhamanyilepi lya bhikheta. “Na bhene bhakapiga kura, kugabha mavazi gha bhene.
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.
35 Bhanu bhajhele bhajhemili bhilanga khoni bhatawala bhidhihaki, bhijobha, “Abhaokuili bhangi. Henu akiokolayi muene, kama mwene ndo Kristu ghwa K'yara, mteule”.
The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
36 Askari kabhele bhen'dharauli, bhan'hegelili muene ni kumpela
The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.
37 siki, Bhakajobha, “Kama bhebhe mfalme ghwa bhajhahudi ukiokolayi ghwejhobhi”
“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”
38 Kwajhe kabhele ni alama panani pa muene jha jhalembibhu “OJHO NDO MFALME GHWA BHAYAHUDI.”
Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Mmonga ghwa bhahalifu jhaasulubibhu andighili ajobhili, “Bhebhe ghwa Kristu lepi? ukiokolayi ghwe muene ni tete”
One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”
40 Lakini jhongi jhola ajibili, akanjwangila ni kujobha, “Je bhebhe ukantila lepi K'yara, nabhi ujhe mu hukumu jhejhuejhu?
But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?
41 Tete tujhele hapa kwa haki kwa ndabha tete twipokela khela kya twilondeka kwa matendo gha jhotu. Lakini munu ojho abhombilepi kyokyoha kibaya.”
We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 Na ejhonesi, Yesu, unikhombokayi pawibeta kijhingila mu ufalme bhwa jhobhi.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
43 Yesu akabhajobhela, “Aminiajhi nikujobhela, lelu jhejhejhe wibetakujha pamonga ni nene paradiso.”
And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
44 Apo jhajhele karibu saa sita, ngisi jhahidili panani pa nchi jhioha hadi saa tisa,
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
45 Mwanga ghwa lijobha bhasimili, kisha lipazia lya hekalu lyakachuiki pagati kujhandi kunani.
The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46 Alelili kwa sauti mbaha, Yesu akajobha, “Dadi mu mabhoko gha jhobhi nikajhibheka roho jha nene,” baada jha kujobha agha, afuili.
Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.
47 Wakati Akida abhwene ghaghabhombiki an'tukuisi K'yara akajobha, “Hakika ojho ajhele munu mwenye haki.”
When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
48 Wakati umati bhwa bhanu bhwa uhidili pamonga kushuhudila bho bhabhwene mambo ghaghabhombiki, bhakerebhuki khoni bhitobha fifua fya bhene.
And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.
49 Lakini marafiki zake, ni bhadala bhabhan'kesili kuhoma Galilaya, bhajhemili kwa patali bhilanga aghu mambo.
But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.
50 Langayi, pajhele ni munu jha akutibhweghe Yusufu, ambajhe ni mmonga ghwa baraza, munu n'nofu na mwenye haki,
Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,
51 (ajhele akubaliene lepi ni maamuzi au matendo ghabhu), kuhoma Armathaya, mji bhwa Kiyahudi, ambabho bhwajhele wilondela ufalme bhwa K'yara.
who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 Munu ojho, an'karibili Pilato, akas'oka apelibhwajhi mb'ele bhwa Yesu.
He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.
53 An'selisi, ni kuusyangosela sanda, ni kumbeka mulikaburi lyalyachongibhu mu liganga, ambalyo ajhelepi jhe abhwayili kusyelibhwa.
Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.
54 Jhajhele ligono lya maandalizi, ni sabato jhikaribila.
It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.
55 Bhadala, bhabhahidili nabhu kuhoma Galilaya, bhan'kesisi na bhabhwene kaburi ni jinsi mbele bhwa muene Kya ugonikibhu.
The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
56 Bhakerebhuki ni kujhandala manukato ni marashi. Kisha ligono lya sabato bhap'om'osiki kwa mujibu bhwa sheria.
Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
