Luqaas 23
1 Ergasii yaaʼiin sun guutuun kaʼee Yesuusin gara Phiilaaxoositti geesse.
Then the whole assembly rose and brought Him to Pilate, and began to accuse Him.
2 Isaanis, “Nu utuu namichi kun saba keenya karaa irraa jalʼisuu, utuu inni akka Gibirri Qeesaariif hin baafamne godhuu, akkasumas utuu inni akka mataan isaa Kiristoos mooticha taʼe dubbatuu argineerra” jedhanii isa himachuu jalqaban.
"We have found this man," they said, "an agitator among our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be himself an anointed king."
3 Kanaafuu Phiilaaxoos, “Ati mootii Yihuudootaatii?” jedhee Yesuusin gaafate. Yesuus immoo, “Atuu jette kaa!” jedhee deebise.
Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied.
4 Phiilaaxoosis luboota hangafootaa fi tuuta namootaatiin, “Ani namicha kana irratti yakka tokko illee hin arganne” jedhe.
Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man."
5 Isaan garuu ittuma caalchisanii, “Inni Galiilaa irraa jalqabee Yihuudaa hunda keessatti barsiisa isaatiin saba jeeqaa hamma asiitti illee dhufeera” jedhan.
But they violently insisted. "He stirs up the people," they said, "throughout all Judaea with His teaching--even from Galilee (where He first started) to this city."
6 Phiilaaxoosis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti, “Namichi kun nama Galiilaatii?” jedhee gaafate.
On hearing this, Pilate inquired, "Is this man a Galilaean?"
7 Innis yommuu akka Yesuus nama kutaa Heroodis bulchuu taʼe beeketti Heroodisitti isa erge; Heroodisis yeroo sana Yerusaalem keessa ture.
And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Heroodis yommuu Yesuusin argetti akka malee gammade; inni sababii waaʼee Yesuus dhagaʼaa fi hojii dinqii kan inni hojjetu tokko tokko akka arguu abdachaa tureef yeroo dheeraaf isa arguu barbaadaa ture.
To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed by Him.
9 Innis Gaaffii baayʼee isa gaafate; Yesuus garuu deebii tokko illee hin kennineef.
So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply.
10 Luboonni hangafoonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa achi dhadhaabatanii cimsanii isa himachaa turan.
Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him.
11 Heroodisii fi loltoonni isaa isa tuffatan; isatti qoosanis. Isaanis uffata miidhagaa isatti uffisanii deebisanii Phiilaaxoositti isa ergan.
Then, laughing to scorn the claims of Jesus, Herod (and his soldiers with him) made sport of Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous costume, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 Guyyuma sana Heroodisii fi Phiilaaxoos walitti michooman; isaan duraan diina walii turaniitii.
And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.
13 Phiilaaxoosis luboota hangafoota, bulchitootaa fi saba walitti waamee,
Then calling together the High Priests and the Rulers and the people, Pilate said,
14 akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin namichi kun, ‘karaa irraa saba jalʼisa’ jettanii isa natti fiddan; anis fuuluma keessan duratti isa qoree akka inni waan isin ittiin isa himattan sana keessaa tokko illee hojjete hin argine.
"You have brought this man to me on a charge of corrupting the loyalty of the people. But, you see, I have examined him in your presence and have discovered in the man no ground for the accusations which you bring against him.
15 Heroodisis waan tokko illee isa irratti hin argine; inni deebisee isa nutti ergeeraatii. Akkuma isin argitan kana namichi kun waan duʼaan isa gaʼu tokko illee hin hojjenne.
No, nor does Herod; for he has sent him back to us; and, you see, there is nothing he has done that deserves death.
16 Kanaafuu ani namicha kana adabeen gad isa dhiisa.” [
I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
17 Phiilaaxoosis guyyaa ayyaanaatiin nama tokko mana hidhaatii gad isaanii dhiisuun dirqama ture.]
18 Isaan garuu sagalee tokkoon iyyanii, “Namicha kana balleessi! Barabbaasin gad nuu dhiisi!” jedhan.
Then the whole multitude burst out into a shout. "Away with this man," they said, "and release Barabbas to us"
19 Barabbaas sababii fincila magaalaa keessatti kaʼeetii fi ajjeechaa namaatiin mana hidhaa keessa buufamee ture.
--Barabbas! who had been lodged in jail for some time in connexion with a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.
20 Phiilaaxoosis Yesuusin gad dhiisuu barbaadee amma illee isaanitti dubbate.
But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.
21 Isaan garuu, “Isa fannisi! Isa fannisi!” jedhanii iyyaa turan.
They, however, persistently shouted, "Crucify, crucify him!"
22 Innis yeroo sadaffaa, “Maaliif? Namichi kun yakka maalii hojjete? Ani yakka duʼaan isa gaʼu isa irratti hin arganne. Kanaafuu ani isa adabeen gad isa dhiisa” isaaniin jedhe.
A third time he appealed to them: "Why, what crime has the man committed? I have discovered in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
23 Isaan garuu akka inni fannifamuuf sagalee guddaadhaan ittuma cichanii gaafatan; iyyi isaaniis ittuma jabaate.
But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.
24 Kanaaf Phiilaaxoos waan isaan kadhatan sana isaaniif kennuu murteesse.
So Pilate gave judgement, yielding to their demand.
25 Innis namicha sababii fincilaatii fi sababii ajjeechaa namaatiin mana hidhaa keessa buufame kan isaan akka inni hiikamuuf kadhatan sana gad dhiise; Yesuusin immoo dabarsee fedhii isaaniitti kenne.
The man who was lying in prison charged with riot and murder and for whom they clamoured he set free, but Jesus he gave up to be dealt with as they desired.
26 Isaanis utuu Yesuusin geessaa jiranuu Simoon namicha Qareenaa tokko utuu inni baadiyyaadhaa dhufaa jiruu qaban; fannoo sanas isa irra kaaʼanii akka inni baatee Yesuus duubaan deemu isa dirqisiisan.
As soon as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenaean, who was coming in from the country, and on his shoulders they put the cross, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 Namoonni baayʼeen, dubartoota keessaas warri isaaf gaddaa fi booʼaa turan isa duukaa buʼan.
A vast crowd of the people also followed Him, and of women who were beating their breasts and wailing for Him.
28 Yesuusis isaanitti garagalee akkana jedhe; “Yaa durboota Yerusaalem, ofii keessanii fi ijoollee keessaniif booʼaa malee naaf hin booʼinaa.
But Jesus turned towards them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Kunoo guyyoonni itti namoonni, ‘dubartoonni dhabdoonni, garaan takkumaa ulfa hin baatinii fi harmi takkumaa hin hoosisin eebbifamoo dha’ jedhan ni dhufuutii.
For a time is coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the women who never bore children, and the breasts which have never given nourishment.'
30 Yeroo sana, “‘Namoonni gaarraniin, “Nurratti jigaa!” tulluuwwaniin immoo, “Nu dhoksaa!”ni jedhu.’
Then will they begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us;' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
31 Isaan erga muka jiidhaa akkana godhanii muka gogaa immoo akkam haa godhan?”
For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?"
32 Namoonni biraa kanneen yakkitoota turan lamas isa wajjin ajjeefamuuf geeffaman.
They brought also two others, criminals, to put them to death with Him.
33 Yommuu iddoo Buqqee Mataa jedhamu gaʼanitti achitti isa fannisan; yakkitoota sanas, isa tokko mirga isaatiin, kaan immoo bitaa isaatiin fannisan.
When they reached the place called 'The Skull,' there they nailed Him to the cross, and the criminals also, one at His right hand and one at His left.
34 Yesuusis, “Yaa Abbaa, isaan waan hojjetan hin beekaniitii isaaniif dhiisi” jedhe. Isaanis ixaa buufatanii uffata isaa gargar qooddatan.
Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." And they divided His garments among them, drawing lots for them;
35 Namoonnis achi dhadhaabatanii ilaalaa turan; bulchitoonni garuu, “Inni warra kaan oolcheera. Inni yoo dhuguma Kiristoos Waaqaa isa Filatamaa sana taʼe mee of haa oolchuu!” jedhanii isatti qoosan.
and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered their bitter taunts. "This fellow," they said, "saved others: let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, the Chosen One."
36 Loltoonnis isatti dhiʼaatanii itti qoosaa daadhii wayinii dhangaggaaʼaa kennaniifii,
And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering Him sour wine and saying,
37 “Ati yoo mootii Yihuudootaa taate mee of oolchi” jedhan.
"Are you the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!"
38 Katabbiin, Kun Mooticha Yihuudootaa ti, jedhu tokkos mataa isaatii ol ture.
There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Yakkitoota achitti fannifaman keessaa tokko, “Ati Kiristoos mitii? Mee of oolchi; nu illee oolchi!” jedhee isa arrabse.
Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him, saying, "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us."
40 Yakkituun kaan garuu akkana jedhee isa ifate; “Atis waan murtii wal fakkaatu jala jirtuuf, Waaqa illee hin sodaattuu?
But the other, answering, reproved him. "Do you also not fear God," he said, "when you are actually suffering the same punishment?
41 Nu adabbii sirrii adabamaa jirra; gatii hojii keenyaaf malu argachaa jirraatii. Namichi kun garuu yakka tokko illee hin hojjenne.”
And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss."
42 Yesuusiinis, “Yaa Yesuus, yeroo mootummaa keetiin dhuftutti na yaadadhu” jedhe.
And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your Kingdom."
43 Yesuusis deebisee, “Ani dhuguman sitti hima; ati harʼa na wajjin jannatatti ni galta” jedheen.
"I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise."
44 Yeroon sun gara saʼaatii jaʼaa ture; hamma saʼaatii sagaliitti dukkanni lafa hunda irra buʼe;
It was now about noon, and a darkness came over the whole country till three o'clock in the afternoon.
45 aduun ifa dhowwatteetii. Golgaan mana qulqullummaas iddoo lamatti ni tarsaʼe.
The sun was darkened, and the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn down the middle,
46 Yesuusis sagalee guddaadhaan iyyee, “Yaa Abbaa, ani hafuura koo dabarsee harka keettin kennadha” jedhe. Kana jedhees hafuura dhumaa baafate.
and Jesus cried out in a loud voice, and said, "Father, to Thy hands I entrust my spirit." And after uttering these words He yielded up His spirit.
47 Ajajaan dhibbaa sunis yommuu waan taʼe sana argetti Waaqaaf ulfina kennee, “Dhugumaanuu namichi kun nama qajeelaa ture” jedhe.
The Captain, seeing what had happened, gave glory to God, saying, "Beyond question this man was innocent."
48 Namoonni waan kana ilaaluuf iddoo sanatti walitti qabaman hundi yommuu waan taʼe sana arganitti qoma isaanii rurrukutaa achii deeman.
And all the crowds that had come together to this sight, after seeing all that had occurred, returned to the city beating their breasts.
49 Warri isa beekan hundi, dubartoonni Galiilaadhaa isa duukaa buʼanis fagoo dhaabatanii waan kana ilaalaa turan.
But all His acquaintances, and the women who had been His followers after leaving Galilee, continued standing at a distance and looking on.
50 Kunoo namicha miseensa waldaa Yihuudootaa kan Yoosef jedhamu tokkotu ture; inni nama gaarii fi qajeelaa ture;
There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,
51 innis murtii fi hojii isaanii irratti jaraan walii hin galle. Yoosef magaalaa Yihuudaa kan Armaatiyaa jedhamtuu dhufe; innis mootummaa Waaqaa eeggachaa ture.
who came from the Jewish town of Arimathaea and was awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the design or action of the Council,
52 Namichi kun gara Phiilaaxoos dhaqee reeffa Yesuus kadhate.
and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 Reeffa sanas gad buusee huccuu quncee talbaa irraa hojjetameen kafanee awwaala garaa kattaa keessatti qotame kan namni tokko iyyuu duraan itti hin awwaalamin tokko keessa kaaʼe.
Then, taking it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet and laid it in a tomb in the rock, where no one else had yet been put.
54 Guyyaan sun Guyyaa qophii ture; Sanbannis seenuu gaʼeera.
It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was near at hand.
55 Dubartoonni Yesuus wajjin Galiilaadhaa dhufanis Yoosef duukaa buʼanii awwaala sanaa fi akka itti reeffi Yesuus awwaala keessa kaaʼame argan.
The women--those who had come with Jesus from Galilee--followed close behind, and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
56 Achii deebiʼaniis qayyaa fi shittoo qopheessan. Guyyaa Sanbataa garuu seeraaf ajajamuuf jedhanii boqotan.
Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.
