Luka 23
1 Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na mayangani batelemaki mpe bamemaki Yesu liboso ya Pilato;
And the whole assemblage of them arose, and carried him before 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 they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, the king.
3 Pilato atunaki Yesu: — Boni, ozali mokonzi ya Bayuda? Yesu azongisaki: — Olobi yango.
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering said to him, I am.
4 Pilato alobaki na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe na ebele ya bato: — Namoni mabe moko te epai ya moto oyo.
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find nothing criminal 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 the more violent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.
6 Tango Pilato ayokaki bongo, atunaki soki Yesu azali moto ya Galile.
And when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean.
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 on learning that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time.
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 Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had been wishing to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.
9 Apesaki ye mituna ebele, kasi Yesu apesaki ye ata eyano moko te.
And he put many questions to him; but he gave him no answer.
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 scribes stood 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.
And Herod also with his guard of soldiers set him at nought and mocked him, and having arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.
12 Nzokande, Erode mpe Pilato bazalaki banguna wuta kala; kasi na mokolo wana, bakomaki balingami.
And Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with each other; for they had before been at enmity.
13 Pilato abengisaki bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, bakambi ya Bayuda mpe bato nyonso; alobaki na bango:
And Pilate, when he had called together 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 to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which 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.
No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him.
16 Na bongo, nakobetisa ye kaka fimbu mpe, sima, nakotika ye. [
I will therefore chastise, and release him.
17 Nzokande, na bafeti nyonso, Pilato azalaki kobimisela bango mokangami moko.]
Now it was necessary for him to release to them one at the feast.
18 Bato nyonso bagangaki: — Boma moto oyo! Bimisela biso Barabasi!
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas;
19 Barabasi akangamaki na boloko mpo ete abimisaki mobulu kati na engumba mpe abomaki moto.
who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.
20 Lokola azalaki na posa ya kotika Yesu, Pilato atunaki bango lisusu.
But Pilate again spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.
21 Kasi bakobaki koganga: — Baka ye na ekulusu! Baka ye na ekulusu!
But they cried out, 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.
And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found him guilty of nothing deserving death; I will therefore chastise, and release 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 urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should he crucified; and their voices prevailed.
24 Pilato azwaki mokano ya kokokisa oyo basengaki;
And Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded should be done.
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.
And he released him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up 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 when they had led him away, they laid hold on one Simon a Cyrenaean, coming out of the country, and laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 Bato ebele balandaki Yesu. Kati na bango, ezalaki mpe na basi oyo bazalaki kolelalela mpe komitungisa mingi mpo na Ye.
And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who were bewailing and lamenting him.
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 weep 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 lo! the days are coming, in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave nourishment.
30 Bongo bakoloba na bangomba milayi: « Bokweyela biso! » Mpe bakoloba na bangomba mikuse: « Bozipa biso! »
Then will 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 these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?
32 Bamemaki mpe mibali mosusu mibale, babomi bato, mpo na koboma bango elongo na Yesu.
And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.
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 had come to the place which is called the Skull, they there crucified him, and the malefactors; 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. And they divided his garments, casting lots.
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 sneered, saying, Others he saved; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, the chosen one.
36 Basoda mpe bakendeki mpe batiolaki Ye; bapesaki Ye vino ya ngayi
And the soldiers also came up to him and made sport of him, 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.
There was also an inscription over him: “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!
And one of the crucified malefactors railed at him, saying, Art thou not the Christ? 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 answering said, rebuking him, Dost not thou fear God, since thou art in 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 are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 Bongo alobaki lisusu: — Yesu, kanisa ngai tango okokota kati na Bokonzi na Yo.
And he said, Jesus, remember me 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 he said to him, Truly do I say to thee, Today shalt thou 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 now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,
45 pamba te moyi etikaki kongenga, mpe rido monene ya Tempelo epasukaki na kati-kati.
the sun having failed; and the veil of the temple was rent in two.
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 cried with a loud voice, and said, Father, into thy hands I commend 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, seeing what was done, gave glory to God, saying, Surely this was a righteous man.
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 that had come together to that sight, when they had seen the things which were done, returned, beating their breasts.
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 acquaintances stood at a distance, and women that came with 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, of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, being a councilor, and a good and righteous man,
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 was not consenting to their purpose and deed, and was waiting for the kingdom of God, —
52 Akendeki epai ya Pilato mpo na kosenga nzoto ya Yesu.
this man went to Pilate, and asked for 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 he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock; wherein no one had yet lain.
54 Ezalaki mokolo ya komilengela, wana Saba elingaki kobanda.
And it was the day of preparation, and the sabbath was now coming on.
55 Basi oyo bawutaki na Galile elongo na Yesu balandaki Jozefi, bamonaki kunda mpe ndenge nini atiaki nzoto ya Yesu kati na kunda yango.
And the women also, who had come with him from Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.
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 they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath they rested, according to the commandment.
