Lioka 23
1 Ary ny olona rehetra nitsangana ka nitondra an’ i Jesosy tany amin’ i Pilato,
Then the whole crowd of them rose up and led Him to Pilate.
2 dia niampanga Azy ka nanao hoe: Ilehity hitanay nampiodina ny firenenay sady nandrara tsy handoa hetra ho an’ i Kaisara ka nilaza ny tenany ho Kristy Mpanjaka.
And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, declaring himself to be Christ, a king.”
3 Ary Pilato nanontany Azy hoe: Hianao va no Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy? Ary Izy namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Voalazanao.
So Pilate questioned Him, saying, “Are you the king of the Jews?” In reply He said to him, “You said it!”
4 Dia hoy Pilato tamin’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny vahoaka: Tsy hitako izay helok’ ity Lehilahy ity.
Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”
5 Fa vao mainka nandentika ireo ka nanao hoe: Nampiodina ny olona Izy sady nampianatra eran’ i Jodia rehetra, nanomboka hatrany Galilia ka hatraty.
But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to here.”
6 Raha nandre izany Pilato, dia nanontany raha olona avy any Galilia Jesosy.
When Pilate heard ‘Galilee’, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Ary rehefa fantany fa avy tamin’ ny tany tapahin’ i Heroda Izy, dia nampanatitra Azy tany amin’ i Heroda izy, fa tany Jerosalema koa Heroda tamin’ izany andro izany.
Upon learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
8 Ary faly dia faly Heroda, raha nahita an’ i Jesosy; fa efa naniry ela hahita Azy izy, satria efa nandre ny aminy ary nanantena hahita famantarana hataony.
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was really pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see Him, having heard so many things about Him; and he was hoping to see some miracle performed by Him.
9 Ary izy nanontany Azy teny maro; fa tsy namaly teny azy akory Jesosy.
He questioned Him with many words, but He gave him no answer.
10 Ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna nijanona teo dia nitompo teny fatratra hiampanga Azy.
On their part, the high priests and scribes stood by, vehemently accusing Him.
11 Ary Heroda sy ny miaramilany namingavinga Azy ka nanao Azy ho fihomehezana, dia nampiakanjo Azy akanjo tsara ka namerina Azy tany amin’ i Pilato.
Then Herod and his soldiers, after ridiculing and mocking Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 Ary tonga nisakaiza Heroda sy Pilato tamin’ izany andro izany; kanefa nifandrafy izy roa lahy talohan’ izany.
(That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other—previously having been at odds with each other.)
13 Ary rehefa nasain’ i Pilato novorina ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny mpanapaka ary ny vahoaka,
Then Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 dia hoy izy taminy: Entinareo atỳ amiko ity Lehilahy ity toy ny nampiodina ny vahoaka; ary, indro, efa nanadina Azy teto anatrehanareo aho, nefa tsy hitako izay helok’ ity Lehilahy ity amin’ izay iampanganareo Azy.
said to them: “You have brought this man to me as one who misleads the people, and yet, having examined him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man as to those things of which you accuse him.
15 Tsia, na dia Heroda koa aza, fa namerina Azy hoy amintsika izy; ary, indro, tsy nisy zavatra nataony izay tokony hahafaty Azy;
Further, neither did Herod (for I sent you on to him); indeed, nothing deserving of death has been done by him.
16 koa hofaizako Izy, dia halefako.
I will therefore flog and release him.”
(It was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast.)
18 Fa izy rehetra niantso mafy indray miredona nanao hoe: Vonoy Io, ka Barabasy no alefaso ho anay!
But they all cried out together, saying: “Away with this one! Release to us Barabbas!”—
19 Nefa natao tao an-tranomaizina io Barabasy io noho ny fikomiana tao an-tanàna sy ny vonoan-olona.
who had been thrown into prison for a certain insurrection in the city, and for murder.
20 Ary satria tian’ i Pilato halefa Jesosy, dia niteny indray izy.
Then Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again.
21 Fa ny olona niantso kosa ka nanao hoe: Homboy, homboy amin’ ny hazo fijaliana Izy!
But they just kept shouting: “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22 Fa hoy izy taminy fanintelony: Ka inona ary no ratsy nataony: tsy hitako izay helony tokony hahafaty Azy koa hofaizako Izy, dia halefako.
For the third time he said to them: “But what evil has this man done? I have found no reason for death in him. I will therefore flog and release him.”
23 Fa niantso tamin’ ny feo mafy ny olona ka nangataka hanomboana an’ i Jesosy amin’ ny hazo fijaliana. Ary nahery ny feon’ ny olona.
But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified! And their voices, especially of the chief priests, prevailed.
24 Ary Pilato dia nandidy hanao izay nangatahiny.
So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
25 Ary dia nalefany ilay natao tao an-tranomaizina noho ny fikomiana sy ny vonoan-olona, satria io no nangatahiny; fa Jesosy kosa natolony hataony araka ny sitrapony.
He released the one who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
26 Ary raha nitondra an’ i Jesosy izy, dia nitana lehilahy Kyreniana anankiray atao hoe Simona, izay vao avy any an-tsaha, ka nampitondra iny ny hazo fijaliana hanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
Now as they led Him away, they conscripted a certain Simon of Cyrene (coming in from a field), and put the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy ary vehivavy maro izay niteha-tratra sady nitomany Azy.
A considerable crowd of people followed Him, including women who were also mourning and lamenting Him.
28 Fa Jesosy nitodika azy ka nanao hoe: Ry zanakavavin’ i Jerosalema, aza mitomany Ahy, fa mitomania ny tenanareo sy ny zanakareo.
So Jesus turned to them and said: “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; rather weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Fa, indro, ho avy ny andro izay hilazany hoe: Sambatra ny momba sy ny kibo izay tsy niteraka ary ny nono izay tsy ninonoan-jaza.
Because indeed, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, even the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’
30 Dia hilaza amin’ ny tendrombohitra hoe izy: Mianjerà aminay; ary amin’ ny havoana hoe: Saròny izahay.
Then they will begin ‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
31 Fa raha ataony amin’ ny hazo maitso izany hatao ahoana amin’ ny maina?
For if they do these things in the ‘green tree’, what will happen in the ‘dry’?”
32 Ary nisy olon-dratsy roa lahy nentina hiaraka hovonoina aminy koa.
There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.
33 Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ ny tany atao hoe Ikarandoha izy, dia teo no namonoany an’ i Jesosy sy ireo olon-dratsy ireo, ny anankiray teo ankavanany ary ny anankiray teo ankaviany.
When they arrived at the place called ‘The Skull’, they crucified Him there; also the criminals, one on His right, the other on His left.
34 Ary hoy Jesosy: Raiko ô, mamelà ny helony, fa tsy fantany izay ataony. Dia nanaovany loka no fizara ny fitafiany.
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”; while they were dividing up His clothes by casting a lot.
35 Ary ny olona nijanona teo ka nijery. Ary ny loholona kosa mba nandatsa ka nanao hoe: Namonjy ny sasany Izy; aoka hovonjeny ny tenany, raha Izy no Kristin’ Andriamanitra, dia Ilay nofidina.
Meanwhile the people stood looking on. And especially the rulers among them were sneering, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if such is the Christ, the chosen of God!”
36 Ary ny miaramila koa nihomehy Azy, dia nankeo ka nanome Azy vinaingitra,
Yes, even the soldiers mocked Him, approaching and offering Him sour wine,
37 sady nanao hoe: Raha Hianao no Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy, vonjeo ny tenanao.
and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 Ary nisy soratra teo amboniny nanao hoe: ITY NO MPANJAKAN’ NY JIOSY.
In fact, above Him there was a written notice, in Greek, Latin and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ireo olon-dratsy nahantona teo ireo dia niteny ratsy Azy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Hianao va no Kristy? vonjeo ny tenanao sy izahay.
Then one of the hanged criminals started berating Him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
40 Fa namaly kosa ilay anankiray, sady nananatra ny namany ka nanao hoe: Moa ianao koa tsy mba matahotra an’ Andriamanitra na dia izao samy voaheloka izao aza?
But the other reacted and rebuked him, saying: “Don't you even fear God, since you are under the same condemnation?
41 Ary marina ny anamelohany antsika, satria mandray ny valin’ ny nataontsika isika; fa ity Lehilahy ity kosa tsy mbola nanao zavatra tsy mety na dia kely akory aza.
And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward for our deeds; but this man did nothing wrong.”
42 Ary hoy izy: Jesosy ô, tsarovy aho, rehefa avy amin’ ny fanjakanao Hianao.
Then he said to Jesus, “Please remember me, Lord, when you come in your kingdom.”
43 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminao marina tokoa: Anio no hihaonanao amiko any Paradisa.
Jesus said to him, “I tell you assuredly, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
44 Ary rehefa tokony ho tamin’ ny ora fahenina, dia maizina ny tany rehetra ka naharitra hatramin’ ny ora fahasivy izany,
Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.
45 satria nihamaizina ny masoandro, ary triatra misasaka ny efitra lamba teo amin’ ny tempoly.
Yes, the sun was darkened; also, the veil of the temple was torn in two.
46 Ary niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Raiko ô, eo an-tananao no atolotro ny fanahiko; ary rehefa niteny izany Izy, dia afaka ny ainy.
Then, after giving a loud shout, Jesus said, “Father, it is into your hands that I will commit my spirit.” And having said this, He breathed out His spirit.
47 Ary ny kapiteny, raha nahita izay zavatra tonga teo, dia nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Lazaiko tokoa fa marina io Lehilahy io.
Well upon seeing what had happened, the centurion glorified God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous!”
48 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra izay vory teo mba hijery izany, raha nahita ny zavatra tonga teo, dia niverina miteha-tratra.
And the whole crowd that had gathered for the spectacle, when they saw what actually happened, went away beating their breasts.
49 Fa ny olom-pantany rehetra sy ny vehivavy izay nanaraka Azy avy tany Galilia dia nijanona teny lavidavitra eny nijery izany zavatra izany.
But all His acquaintances, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy atao hoe Josefa, izay isan’ ny Synedriona, dia lehilahy tsara fanahy sady marina.
Now then, there was a man named Joseph, a good and righteous man, a Council member
51 Izany lehilahy izany tsy nanaiky ny hevitra sy ny nataon’ ny sasany; avy tany Arimatia, tanànan’ ny Jiosy, izy sady niandry ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
(but he had not agreed with their counsel and action), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was waiting for the Kingdom of God:
52 Izany lehilahy izany dia nankao amin’ i Pilato ka nangataka ny fatin’ i Jesosy.
this man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
53 Dia nampidininy ny faty ka nofonosiny hariry madinika, dia naleviny tao amin’ ny fasana nolavahana tamin’ ny vatolampy, izay tsy mbola nandevenana olona.
Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock, where no one had ever been laid.
54 Ary andro fiomanana izany andro izany, ka efa antomotra ny Sabata.
It was a Preparation day; the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Ary ny vehivavy izay nomba Azy avy tany Galilia dia nanaraka teo aoriana ka nahita ny fasana sy izay fampandriny ny faty.
The women who had come with Him from Galilee followed along, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed there.
56 Ary niverina ireo ka namboatra zava-manitra sy menaka manitra. Ary tamin’ ny Sabata dia nitsahatra ihany izy araka ny lalàna.
Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
