Luka 23
1 Inkopano yonse chiya zimana mwi wulu, ni kuleta Jesu kwa Pilato.
Then the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate.
2 Chiba muhambiliza indaba, kuti; “twa wana uzu muntu na hambusa mahasi etu; u kanisa bantu ku zwisikiza Sesara mutelo, mi ulisumpa kuti njeye krisite, Ireeza”.
And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he is Christ a King.
3 Pilato cha mubuza, “kuti kana nji we Ireeza wa majuda?” Chetaba kuti, “wa wamba”.
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.
4 Pilato cha wambila Maprisita bakulwna ni nyangela, kani wani mulandu kozu muntu.
Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.
5 Chiba koza kuti “U lyanganisa chisi, Na kwete kuluta bantu mwa Judea yonse, a sali kutanga kwa Galilea, nikwiza kusika kunu”.
But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.
6 Pilato hazuwa zo, cha buza kuti kanti Jesu Mugalilea.
Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
7 Mi halemuha kuti ukazwa mwi puso ya Heroda, cha tumina Jesu kwa Heroda, uzo ya bali kwi kala naye mwa Jelusalema awo mazuba.
And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.
8 Heroda ha bona Jesu, aba tabi maswe, ka kuli aba hindi inako na saka kumu bona, kazitu zingi za kwe za bazuwi, mi aba sepete kuti kamu bone na tenda imakazo.
And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him.
9 Heroda aba buzi Jesu cha manzwi mangi, kono Jesu kena betabi chimwi.
Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.
10 Baprisita ba kulwana ni bañoli chiba zimana, chiba muzinga indaba ko kukoza.
The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.
11 Heroda niba libeleli bakwe chiba mutuka, kumu shewununa, niku muzwatika zi zwato zilotu, niku muboza Jesu kwa Pilato hape.
And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate.
12 Pilato ni Heroda chibaba muntu ni mulikani lolo luzuba, kono ibali muntu ni chila chakwe.
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.
13 Imi pilato cha kunganya ba prisita niba yendisi babo mane ni chisi.
Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,
14 Chose cha wamba ku bali, “mwani letela uzu muntu, ni mucho kuti uzo yo hambusa chisi, ime namu buza habusu bwenu, kono kena na wana bubi bwakwe uzu mukwame ku amana nizi mu kwete kumu hambiliza.
And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him:
15 Imi naye Hereda wa bona bulyo, cingi wa muboza kwetu, Ka mulole, Uzu muntu ka kwina cha foseze chi wola kumu cwala ku kwi haiwa.
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.
16 Imi he kani mushupe niku mulukulula”.
I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
(For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)
18 Imi machaba onse aba huwelezi, ni kuti “ehawe uzo mi ulukulule Barabasi!”
Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:
19 I ye Barabasi aba bikwa mwi tolongo ibaka lyo kuleta mulandu mu munzi ni kwi haya.
Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.
20 Pilato cho kutabela kulukulula Jesu cha wamba nabo hape.
Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.
21 Chiba huweleza kuti aye ha chi fapano, “mi akokotelwe”. Chawamba nabo hape totatwe
But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.
22 “kuti kanti chibi cha foseze uzu mukwame njezihi? Chi swanela ifu lya kwe, ka kwina chafoseze, kani mushupe niku mulukulula”.
And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
23 Kono ba bapiheleli ka manzwi ahanzi, chiba laela kuti a kokotelwe, manzwi abo chi akoma Pilato.
But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.
24 Mi Pilato cha kosola indaba, chati ku tendiwe muba sakila.
So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.
25 Imi cha lukulula ya bali kusuminwe mwi tolongo kama fosisa akwe, nika kwi haya, uzo iba kumbila Imi chabaha Jesu kuti ba ntende muba sakila.
And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.
26 Haba mutwala ku kwi haiwa, chiba kwata mukwame we zina lya Simoni wa kwa Sireni, ya bali kuzwa ku mawa, niku mutwikisa chifapano, no kwi cilila Jesu,
And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.
27 vungi bwa chi chava va va mwi chilili, ni vanakazi va vali kulila, chevaka lyakwe.
And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him.
28 Jesu cha sanduka, niku wamba kuti vanakazi va Jerusalema, kanzi mulili ivaka lyangu kono mulile lwenu nilwa vana venu.
But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children.
29 Ka kuti mukwize mazuva ete niva wambe kuti, vena imvuyoti vanakazi vasa zali, niva mavumo aseni ku zala, niva mavele aseni kunyosa.
For behold, the dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.
30 vantu njete niva tange ku wambila ziwulu, vati 'mutuwile hewulu', ni ku tuwulu kavati muntu 'vwike'.
Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.
31 Kakuti hava tenda izo kuchi kuni chivombete, kakuve vule kuchizumite?”
For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?
32 Bamwi bakwame, ni zisinyi zobele, baba hitizwe naye kukwi haiwa.
And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.
33 Hava sika haka wulu kasumpwa “Gologota”, chiva mukokotela ha chifapano ha mwina nizi sinyi, chimwi kuvulyo, chimwi kuvuzohoto.
And when they were come to the place, which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the euill doers: one at the right hand, and the other at the left.
34 Jesu chacho, “Tayo Uva kwatile, ka kuti kabezi ziva tenda”. Chiva li aluhanyeza zi zwata za kwe cho ku laula.
Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes.
35 Chisi chiva zimene, niku lolela kuba ye ndisi hava vali kumu sheunwina, chivati “Avali kutusa vantu, mu muleke ali tuse mwine, heva njeye krisite wa Ireeza, yava ketwa”.
And the people stoode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He saued others: let him saue himselfe, if hee be that Christ, the Chosen of God.
36 Masole va vakumu nyefula niku chunina niva muchuka vinega,
The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger,
37 Chivati,” haiva U mulena wa majuda uli tuse U mwine.”
And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.
38 Kuvena chisupo kwali, “Nji Simwine wa Majuda”
And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES.
39 Zumwi wa vasa yava hanzi naye chamu tuka kuti, “kanjewe Kresite? Lituse umwine niku tu tusa,
And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.
40 vamwi chiva munyansa?” Kana kotiyi Ireeza, sina hawina muchi kuka chi swana?
But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 Iswe itukelo yetu kuva hanu ka kuti tu fosete, tuli tumelela ma fosisa etu, kono uzu mukwame kena mafosisa.
We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.
42 Chazwila ha vusu “Jesu noni hupule mu muvuso wako.”
And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.
43 Jesu ava wambi kwali, “niku wambila ka vuniti, Sunu mobe name mwi paradaisi”.
Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 Chivali ku patalala kwe zuva ka sikisi, mi kasinkwe cikeza kuwumba inkanda yonse kutwala ka naini,
And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.
45 mi chikwava ni kusiha, isila lya mwi kereke chilya ñatuka hakati.
And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.
46 Chalila chezwi lihanzi, Jesu chati, “Tayo, ni vika luhuho lwangu mu mayaza ako.”
And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost.
47 Ha mana ku wamba bulyo nicha maniñwa luhuho, iñanga wempi za vakanteli ha vona ziva tendahali, chalumba Ireeza, “ni kuti niti, uzu muntu ava shiyeme”.
Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.
48 Imi vungi bwa vantu va vezi kulwela, zi vali ku tenda hala, nichi va vola niva li kava hazi zuva.
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.
49 Imi vavezi Jesu, ni vanakazi va vali ku mwi chilile hakazwa kwa Galilea, va vazimene kule, niva lolete.
And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.
50 Mukwatise, ku vena mukwame ya vali kusumpwa Josefa we nkhuta Yecisi, mukwame mulotu yo lukite.
And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.
51 I ye kena bazumini milao yabo ni kelezo. Avali kuzwa kwa judea ya kwa Arimathea ava kulindile muvuso we Ireeza.
Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God.
52 Uzu mukwame cha yenda kwa Pilato niku ka kumbila chitunta cha Jesu. Chiba muhangula ha chifapano.
He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,
53 Chiva muvwika isila, imi chiva mupata mwikumbu liñatwilwe ni vwe, museni kubikwa muntu.
And tooke it downe, and wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.
54 Imi ilyo izuva ivali lya vuitukiso, lya mukivelo chili vali kutanga.
And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.
55 Vanakazi, va vezite naye ku kazwa kwa Galilea, nive chilile Jesu, Niva lolete chitunta muchivikilwa mwa teni,
And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd.
56 chiva vola niku kalitukisa, imi la mukivelo nichi vapumula sina muku layelwe.
And they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement.
