Lioka 23
1 Aa le niongake i fifañosoñañey ninday aze mb’amy Pilato mb’eo,
The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
2 vaho nanisý aze ami’ty hoe: Nitrea’ay nitrobo ty tane’ay ondatio mbore rinara’e ty fandroroñam-bili-loha amy Kaisara, ie nihàboke t’ie i Norizan-ko mpanjakay.
They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
3 Le hoe ty ontane’ i Pilato tama’e: Mpanjaka’ o Jiosio v’Iheo? Hoe ty natoi’e aze: Ie saontsie’o.
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
4 Aa le hoe t’i Pilato amo mpisorom-beio naho i firimboñañey: Tsy mahatrea hakeo amo lahio iraho.
Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 Fe nindrae’ iereo seseke ami’ty hoe: Ie mamalitsikotake ondatio, mbore nitsitsihe’e oke t’Iehodà hirike Galilia añe pak’ etoa.
But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
6 Ie jinanji’ i Pilato izay le nañontane hera nte Galilia ondatio.
But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Ie nifohi’e t’ie borizà’ i Heroda, le nampanesefe’e mb’amy Heroda mb’eo, amy te ie ka e Ierosaleme ao henane zay.
When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
8 Akore ty haeha’ i Heroda te nahaoniñe Iesoà; fa haehae ty nisalalà’e te hahaisak’ aze ty amo hene raha nijanjiñe’e ty ama’eo vaho naina’e te ho nisamba ze viloñe fanoe’e.
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 Aa le nimanea’e ontane, fe leo raike tsy natoi’e.
He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
10 Nijohañe ey avao o mpisorom-beio naho o mpanoki-dilio nitolon-tsisý ama’e.
The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Aa ie fa nikobike aze t’i Heroda naho o lahin-defo’eo, naho nikizahe’ iereo ami’ty nampiombeañe lamba marerarera, le nampolieñe mb’amy Pilato mb’eo.
Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 Amy àndroy, le lia’e nimpirañetse t’i Heroda naho i Pilato, ie mpifandrafe taolo.
Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
13 Natonto’ i Pilato o mpisorom-beio, naho o mpifehe ondatio, vaho i màroy,
Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 le hoe re tam’iereo: Nandesa’ areo amako t’indaty toy hoe mpanigike ondatio hiola. Aa ndra t’ie nimaneako ontane añatrefa’areo, tsy mahatrea tahiñe am’ondatio amo anisìa’ areo azeo.
and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
15 Aiy, ndra i Heroda, kanao nampolie’e mb’aman-tika; ndra loli’e tsy nanoe’e hañohofan-doza ama’e.
Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Aa le ho liloveko re vaho havotsoko.
I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
17 (Toe lili’e ty namotsotse am’ iareo ty mpirohy raik’ amy Sabadidakey).
Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
18 F’ie nikoik’ an-kapindre ty hoe: Aseseo añe ondatio, le hahao ama’ay t’i Barabasy —
But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
19 i najòñe ambalabey ao ami’ty fiolà’e an-drova ao naho ami’ty vono-ondatiy.
one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
20 Aa ie te hañaha Iesoà t’i Pilato le nindrai’e i linaño’ey.
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
21 Fe kinorà’ iareo ty hoe: Peho, Peho re!
but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22 Le hoe re fañin-telo’e am’iereo: Fa akore! Inoñe ty raty nanoe’e? Tsy treako ty talim-pamonoañe aze, ho liloveko vaho hahako.
He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
23 Fe nitolom-pitazataza iereo, nangatake t’ie ho peheñe. Aa le nahareketse aze ty feo’ ondatireo naho o mpisorom-beio
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
24 vaho linili’ i Pilato te hanoeñe t’y ipaia’ iareoy.
Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
25 Le vinotso’e i rinohy ty amy fiòla naho vono’ ondaty pinai’ iereoy; vaho natolo’e ami’ty satri’ iareo t’Iesoà.
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
26 Ie nindese’iereo, le tsinepa’ iereo ty atao Simona nte Kirenia, ie niloneake hirik’ am-patrambey añe vaho nampitarazoeñe aze i hatae ajaley, le nañorike t’Iesoà.
When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
27 Tsifotofoto t’indaty nañorike naho o roakemba nandala naho nirovetse azeo.
A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
28 Nitolik’ am’ iereo t’Iesoà nanao ty hoe: Ry anak’ ampela’ Ierosaleme ko mirovetse ahy fa roveto o vata’ areoo naho o ana’areoo.
But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Mahaoniña te ho tendreke ty andro hanoeñe ty hoe: Haha ty beitsiterake naho ty hòviñe tsy nahatoly vaho ty fatroa tsy ninonoeñe.
For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
30 Ie amy zay, hanoe’ iereo ty hoe o vohitseo: Mihotraha ama’ay, naho amo haboañeo ty hoe: Rongono zahay.
Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
31 Aa naho zao ty anoañe an-katae leñe, hanoeñe akore t’ie maike?
For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
32 Teo ka ty tsy vokatse roe nendeseñe hiharo vonoeñe ama’e.
There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
33 Ie niavy ami’ty toetse atao Ikarandoha eo, le teo ty nipehañe aze naho indaty raty rey, ty raike am-pità’e havana naho ty raike an-kavia’e.
When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
34 Le hoe t’Iesoà: O Aba, iheveo, fa amoea’ iareo o anoe’ iereoo. Nifanjara’ iereo ty saro’e vaho nanao tsato-piso.
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
35 Fonga nijohañe ey i màroy nisamba; nitrao-panìtse aze, ie naho o roandriañeo ami’ty hoe: Ie naharombake o ila’eo, soa re te handrombake ty vata’e naho toe ie i Norizañe jinobon’ Añaharey.
The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
36 Nanitra aze ka o lahin-defoñeo, le nimb’eo ty nanolotse divay maseñe ama’e,
The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 ami’ty hoe: Naho toe Mpanjaka’ o Jiosio irehe, rombaho ty vata’o.
and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 Pinatetse ambone eo ty sokitse manao ty hoe: Itoy ty Mpanjaka’ o Jiosio.
An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
39 Nikobìk’ aze ty raik’ amy tsivokatse naradorado rey, ami’ty hoe: Naho ihe i Norizañey, rombaho ty vata’o naho izahay.
One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
40 Fe tinoi’ i raikey an-trevoke, ami’ty hoe: Ndra i Andrianañahare hao tsy añeveña’o kanao itraofa’o fàtse?
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41 Toe mañeva i an-tikañey le rinamben-tika ty vale’ o satan-tikañeo; fe tsy nandilatse ondatio.
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 Le hoe re am’ Iesoà, O Rañandria, mahatiahia ahy te miheo am-pifehea’o ao,
He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
43 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Eka! to t’itaroñako te, hindre mb’an-tanen-kaveloñ’ ao tika te anito.
Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
44 I ora faheneñey henane zay, le hene nihohofa’ ty ieñe i Taney sikal’ ami’ ty ora faha-sive.
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
45 Nimoromoroñe i àndroy vaho nitori-anjake i lamba fañefetse añ’ Anjomban’ Añaharey.
The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
46 Le nikanjy am-piarañanañañe mafe t’Iesoà ami’ty hoe: O Aba, apoko am-pità’o ao ty troko, ie nitsara, le nafoe’e ty arofo’e.
Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
47 Nioni’ i mpifele-jatoy o raha nanjò eio le nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare ami’ty hoe: Toe ondaty vantañe toy.
When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
48 Ie nahaisake zay i maro nivorigidiñe eiy nisamba o raha nitendrekeo, le nifiotse añe namango arañañe.
All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
49 Hene nijohanjohañe eñe o rañe’eo naho o roakemba nanonjohy aze boake Galilia añeo nitalake.
All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Teo t’indaty atao Iosefe, mpiamy Sanhedrio, ondaty vantañe naho vañoñe;
Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
51 tsy ninò’ indatiy ty safiry naho ty raha nanoe’ iareo. Nte-Armatia tanà’ Iehodà re vaho mpitamà i Fifehean’ Añaharey.
(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
52 Nimb’amy Pilato mb’eo re nihalaly ty fañòva’ Iesoà.
This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
53 Ie nazotso’e, le pinelepele’e an-damba leny, vaho nirohote’e an-donake hinaly an-damilamy mbe tsy nandrohotan-dolo.
He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
54 Ie ty andro Fañalankañañe, le fa ho tondroke i Sabatay.
It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Norihe’ o roakemba nanonjohy Iesoà boak’ e Galilia añeo re le niisa’ iereo i lonakey naho ty nandrohotañe i fañòvay.
The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
56 Tafampoly iereo le nañalankañe raha mandrifondrifoñe naho solike, vaho nitofa amy Sabatay ty amy liliy.
They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
