Luka 23
1 Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na mayangani batelemaki mpe bamemaki Yesu liboso ya Pilato;
AND the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate,
2 mpe kuna, bakomaki kofunda Ye: — Tala moto oyo azali kotia mobulu kati na ekolo na biso! Tokuti ye azali kopekisa bato kofuta mpako ya Sezare, mpe azali lisusu komibenga Klisto, Mokonzi!
and began to accuse him, saying, We have found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar; pretending that he himself is the King Messiah.
3 Pilato atunaki Yesu: — Boni, ozali mokonzi ya Bayuda? Yesu azongisaki: — Olobi yango.
Then Pilate interrogated him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him, Thou sayest so.
4 Pilato alobaki na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe na ebele ya bato: — Namoni mabe moko te epai ya moto oyo.
Then said Pilate unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing culpable in this man.
5 Kasi batiaki kaka molende mpe balobaki: — Te! Azali kotombokisa bato ya Yuda mobimba na nzela ya mateya na Ye; abandaki yango na Galile kino akomi awa.
But they were urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.
6 Tango Pilato ayokaki bongo, atunaki soki Yesu azali moto ya Galile.
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean?
7 Wana ayokaki ete Yesu azali moto ya mboka oyo ezalaki na se ya bokonzi ya Erode, atindaki Ye epai ya Erode, pamba te Erode azalaki kati na Yelusalemi na mikolo wana.
And when he knew that he came out of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself at Jerusalem in those days.
8 Erode asepelaki mingi tango amonaki Yesu, pamba te, wuta kala, azalaki koluka komona Ye mpo ete ayokaki basango mingi na tina na Ye, mpe azalaki kolikya komona Yesu kosala likamwisi.
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was vastly delighted: for he had been long desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle wrought by him.
9 Apesaki ye mituna ebele, kasi Yesu apesaki ye ata eyano moko te.
And he put a variety of questions to him; but he made him no reply.
10 Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko bazalaki kaka wana mpe bazalaki kopelisa moto na maloba mabe mpo na kokweyisa Yesu.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood up vehemently accusing him.
11 Erode mpe basoda na ye basekaki mpe batiolaki Yesu; balatisaki Ye elamba ya kitoko makasi mpe bazongisaki Ye epai ya Pilato.
Then Herod with his guards treated him with contempt, and in derision clothed him in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate.
12 Nzokande, Erode mpe Pilato bazalaki banguna wuta kala; kasi na mokolo wana, bakomaki balingami.
And Pilate and Herod the same day became friends together: for they had previously been at enmity with each other.
13 Pilato abengisaki bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, bakambi ya Bayuda mpe bato nyonso; alobaki na bango:
Then Pilate, convoking the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 — Bomemelaki ngai moto oyo mpe bofundaki ye ete azali kotombokisa bato. Napesi ye mituna liboso na bino mpe nazwi ye na mabe ata moko te kati na nyonso oyo bofundelaki ye.
said unto them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one who perverteth the people: and lo! on examining him before you, I have found nothing culpable in this man, respecting the charges ye bring against him:
15 Erode mpe azwaki ye na mabe ata moko te, yango wana azongisaki ye epai na biso. Boye, ndenge bokoki komona, moto oyo asali mabe ata moko te oyo ekoki kosala ete azwa etumbu ya kufa.
nor Herod neither: for I referred you to him; and, lo, nothing is done to this man, as if he deserved death.
16 Na bongo, nakobetisa ye kaka fimbu mpe, sima, nakotika ye. [
I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him.
17 Nzokande, na bafeti nyonso, Pilato azalaki kobimisela bango mokangami moko.]
(Now he held it necessary to release one to them at the feast.)
18 Bato nyonso bagangaki: — Boma moto oyo! Bimisela biso Barabasi!
Then the whole multitude set up a cry, saying, Away with this fellow, and release unto us Barabbas!
19 Barabasi akangamaki na boloko mpo ete abimisaki mobulu kati na engumba mpe abomaki moto.
(who for a certain sedition raised in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.)
20 Lokola azalaki na posa ya kotika Yesu, Pilato atunaki bango lisusu.
Again therefore Pilate called out to them, desirous to see Jesus at liberty.
21 Kasi bakobaki koganga: — Baka ye na ekulusu! Baka ye na ekulusu!
But they clamoured the more, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
22 Pilato atunaki bango lisusu, mpo na mbala ya misato: — Mpo na nini? Mabe nini tata oyo asali? Ngai nazwi ye na mabe ata moko te, oyo ekoki kosala ete azwa etumbu ya kufa. Boye, nakobetisa ye kaka fimbu; sima, nakotika ye.
Then the third time he said to them, What evil hath this man done? I have found nothing deserving death in him: I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him.
23 Kasi bakobaki kaka kosenga, na koganga makasi koleka, ete babaka Yesu na ekulusu; mpe suka na suka, koganga na bango elongaki.
But they were instant with the most clamorous vociferations, soliciting that he might be crucified. And their clamours, and those of the chief priests, bore him down.
24 Pilato azwaki mokano ya kokokisa oyo basengaki;
Then Pilate decreed that their petition should be granted.
25 abimiselaki bango moto oyo basengaki, oyo akangamaki na boloko mpo na mobulu mpe mpo ete abomaki moto, mpe akabaki Yesu na maboko na bango mpo ete basala Ye nyonso oyo balingi.
Then released he to them him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison; but he gave up Jesus to their will.
26 Wana basoda bazalaki kokumba Yesu, bakangaki mobali moko, kombo na ye ezalaki Simona, moto ya Sirene, oyo awutaki na bilanga; batiaki ekulusu na mokongo na ye mpo ete amema yango sima na Yesu.
And as they led him out, laying hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, they laid on him the cross, to carry after Jesus.
27 Bato ebele balandaki Yesu. Kati na bango, ezalaki mpe na basi oyo bazalaki kolelalela mpe komitungisa mingi mpo na Ye.
And a great multitude of the people and of women followed him, who also beat their breasts and lamented him bitterly.
28 Yesu abalukaki mpo na kotala basi mpe alobaki: — Bana basi ya Yelusalemi, bolela mpo na Ngai te; bolela nde mpo na bino moko mpe mpo na bana na bino.
But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Pamba te, na mikolo oyo ekoya, bakoloba: « Esengo na basi oyo bazali na bana te, oyo babota te mpe bamelisa bana mabele te! »
For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts which never suckled.
30 Bongo bakoloba na bangomba milayi: « Bokweyela biso! » Mpe bakoloba na bangomba mikuse: « Bozipa biso! »
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us!
31 Pamba te soki bato bazali kosala makambo ya boye na nzete ya mobesu, ekozala ndenge nini na nzete ya kokawuka?
For if they do all these things with the green wood, what will be done with the dry?
32 Bamemaki mpe mibali mosusu mibale, babomi bato, mpo na koboma bango elongo na Yesu.
Now there were two other persons, malefactors, led out with him to be executed.
33 Tango bakomaki na esika oyo babengaka « Gologota, » babakaki kuna Yesu elongo na babomi mibale wana ya bato: moko, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Yesu; mosusu, na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi.
And when they came to a place called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, the one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Yesu alobaki: — Tata, limbisa bango mpo ete bayebi te makambo oyo bazali kosala. Mpe bakabolaki bilamba na Ye, na kobeta zeke.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Then dividing his garments, they cast the lot.
35 Bato batelemaki wana, bazalaki kotala; mpe bakambi batiolaki Ye, balobaki: — Abikisaki bato mosusu; tika ete amibikisa ye moko, soki penza azali Klisto, Moponami ya Nzambe!
And the people stood looking on. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this fellow is the Messiah, the elect of God.
36 Basoda mpe bakendeki mpe batiolaki Ye; bapesaki Ye vino ya ngayi
And the soldiers also insulted him, coming and offering him vinegar,
37 mpe balobaki: — Soki ozali penza mokonzi ya Bayuda, mibikisa yo moko!
and saying, if thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Na likolo ya moto ya Yesu, ezalaki na makomi oyo: Moto oyo azali Mokonzi ya Bayuda.
And there was an inscription written over him in Greek, Roman, and Hebrew characters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Moko kati na babomi bato oyo babakamaki na ba-ekulusu atiolaki Ye: — Boni, ozali Klisto te? Mibikisa yo moko mpe bikisa biso!
Then one of the suspended malefactors blasphemed him, saying, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself and us.
40 Kasi mobomi bato mosusu apamelaki ye: — Ozali kobanga Nzambe te mpo ete ozali na se ya etumbu ya ndenge moko na oyo ya Ye!
But the other addressing him, rebuked him, saying, Hast thou no fear of God, when thou art under the same condemnation?
41 Biso, tozwi penza etumbu na ndenge ya bosembo, pamba te tozali kozwa mbano ya misala mabe na biso; kasi tata oyo asali ata mabe moko te.
And we indeed justly, for we receive deserved punishment for the crimes we have committed: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 Bongo alobaki lisusu: — Yesu, kanisa ngai tango okokota kati na Bokonzi na Yo.
And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo: lelo, okozala elongo na Ngai kati na Paradizo.
And Jesus said to him. Verily I say unto thee, To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
44 Na ngonga pene ya midi, molili ekotaki na mokili mobimba kino na ngonga ya misato ya pokwa,
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
45 pamba te moyi etikaki kongenga, mpe rido monene ya Tempelo epasukaki na kati-kati.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Yesu agangaki na mongongo makasi: — Tata, nazongisi molimo na Ngai kati na maboko na Yo. Sima na Ye koloba bongo, akataki motema.
And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit: and having said this, he expired.
47 Tango mokonzi ya basoda ya Rome amonaki makambo oyo eleki, akumisaki Nzambe mpe alobaki: — Moto oyo azalaki penza sembo!
And the centurion observing what had come to pass, glorified God, saying, Verily this man was a righteous person.
48 Tango bato nyonso oyo basanganaki wana, mpo na kotala makambo oyo ezali kosalema, bamonaki makambo oyo ekweyi, batiaki maboko na bango na batolo na bango mpe bazongaki.
And all the multitudes who had come together for this spectacle, when they saw the things which were done, beating their breasts, returned.
49 Kasi bato nyonso oyo bayebaki Yesu, mpe basi oyo balandaki Ye longwa na Galile, batelemaki na mosika mpe bazalaki kotala ndenge makambo ezali koleka.
And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women which followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 Kati na Likita-Monene ya Bayuda, ezalaki na moto moko, kombo na ye « Jozefi. » Azalaki moto malamu mpe moto ya sembo,
And lo! a man named Joseph, being a member of the council, a good man, and a just;
51 mpe andimaki te mikano mpe misala ya bato mosusu ya Likita-Monene; azalaki moto ya mboka Arimate, engumba ya Bayuda, mpe azalaki kozela Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
(who had not given his assent to their determination and deed; ) being of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who himself also expected the coming of the kingdom of God.
52 Akendeki epai ya Pilato mpo na kosenga nzoto ya Yesu.
He went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 Bongo akitisaki nzoto yango longwa na ekulusu, alingaki yango na liputa ya lino, mpe atiaki yango kati na kunda oyo batobolaki kati na libanga moko ya monene epai wapi batikalaki nanu kokunda ata moto moko te.
And taking it down from the cross, he wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a sepulchre hewn out of a rock, where none had ever yet lain.
54 Ezalaki mokolo ya komilengela, wana Saba elingaki kobanda.
And that was the preparation-day, and the sabbath’s twilight was approaching.
55 Basi oyo bawutaki na Galile elongo na Yesu balandaki Jozefi, bamonaki kunda mpe ndenge nini atiaki nzoto ya Yesu kati na kunda yango.
Then the women also, his attendants, who had followed him out of Galilee, observed the sepulchre, and how his corpse was laid out.
56 Sima, bazongaki epai na bango mpe babongisaki mafuta ya solo kitoko mpe malasi. Kasi bapemaki na mokolo ya Saba, kolanda ndenge mobeko ezalaki kosenga.
And returning, they made preparation of aromatics and unguents; and they rested the sabbath-day, according to the commandment.
