Luka 23
1 Shikundi shoseri wagolokiti, wamjega Yesu kulongolu kwa Pilatu,
And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,
2 Wanja kumsitaki, pawalonga, “Tumwoniti muntu ayu kankuwasongiziya wantu wetu, na kuwaberiziya wantu kumupanana kodi Kaisari, pakawagambira Kristu mweni ndo, mfalumi.”
and began to accuse him, saying, 'This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.'
3 Pilatu kamkosiyiti yomberi, “Hashi, gwenga ndo Mfalme gwa wayawudi?” Yesu kamuwankula, “Gwenga gulonga.”
And Pilate questioned him, saying, 'Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, 'Thou dost say [it].'
4 Pilatu kawagambira watambika wakulu wa numba ya Mlungu na lipinga lya wantu, “Mona likosa ndiri lyoseri kwa muntu ayu.”
And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, 'I find no fault in this man;'
5 Kumbiti womberi wanjiti kulonga kankuwazongiziya, “Kwa mafundu gakuwi kanjiti kutenda ndewu pakati pa wantu woseri mu Yudeya. Kanjiti mu Galilaya na vinu kiza panu.”
and they were the more urgent, saying — 'He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea — having begun from Galilee — unto this place.'
6 Pilatu pakapakiniriti aga, kakosiya, “Hashi, muntu ayu ka mwenikaya gwa Galilaya?”
And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,
7 Pakavimaniti handa Yesu kalawiti lushi lwalukolitwimlima na Herodi, su kamjegiti kwa Herodi, ndo mweni yakaweriti mu Yerusalemu shipindi shilii.
and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.
8 Herodi kanemeleriti nentu pakamwoniti Yesu, toziya kapikaniriti kala visoweru vyakuwi, su kaweriti kankuhepera kumwona yomberi kwa shipindi shivuwa. Kaweriti kankutumbira kawoni Yesu pakatenda mauzauza.
And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long [time] to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,
9 Su Herodi kamkosiyiti Yesu makosiwu gavuwa, kumbiti Yesu kamwankula ndiri.
and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.
10 Mtambika mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu na wafunda wa Malagaliru walawiriti pawulongoru, walaviyiti masitaka gawu kwa makakala nentu.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,
11 Herodi pamuhera na wanjagila wakuwi, wamwayibishiti Yesu na kumtendera lidufiya, shakapanu wamvalisiya nguwu ya shifalumi, na wamuwuziya kwa Pilatu.
and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,
12 Kwanjira lishaka lilii, Herodi na Pilatu wawera maganja, pamberi pa shipindi shilii waweriti wangondu.
and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.
13 Su Pilatu kawashemiti pamuhera, watambika wakulu wa numba ya Mlungu, na walongoziya na wantu
And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14 kawagambira, “Mumjega muntu ayu kwaneni pamlonga kaweriti kawasongiziya wantu wawulemi ufalumi wa Rumi. Vinu mpikiniri! Pandoliti kala weri shitwatila ashi pawulongolu penu, mona ndiri likosa lyoseri kwa masitaka genu kwakuwi.
said unto them, 'Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;
15 Wala Herodi kawoniti ndiri likosa, su kamuwuziyiti kwa twenga. Kwahera likosa lya kumtenda muntu ayu kahowi.
no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;
16 Su hanuwalongeri wamsyatangi viboku, hanumleki kagendi zakuwi.”
having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
17 Kila Mumsambu gwa Pasaka Pilatu kamlekiziyaga mtatilwa yumu pakati pawu.
for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
18 Lipinga lyoseri wabotanga pawalonga, “Gumlagi ayu! Gutuvuguliri Baraba!”
and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, 'Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'
19 Baraba wamtuliti mushibetubetu toziya ya kutenda ngondu mlushi lulii, viraa kalagiti wantu.
who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
20 Pilatu kafiriti kumlekeziya Yesu, su katakula kayi nawomberi.
Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,
21 Kumbiti womberi watenditi umatu, “Gumkong'onderi misumali mulupingika! Gumkong'onderi misumali mulupingika!”
but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify him.'
22 Pilatu kawagambira mala ya tatu, “Ashi katenda shidoda gaa? Mona ndiri likosa kwakuwi limtendi yomberi wamlagi, su hanumsyatangi viboku, su hanumlekeziyi.”
And he a third time said unto them, 'Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release [him].'
23 Kumbiti womberi wakazaniti kutenda umatu kwa kubotanga kuwera Yesu mpaka kakong'onderwi misumali mulupingika, na upeleru wawu wa kutenda umatu ukanga.
And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
24 Su Pilatu kaamuwiti ntambu yawafira womberi gatendeki.
and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
25 Kamvugulira kulawa mushibetubetu muntu ulii yawamfiriti, ndomweni yawamtuliti mushibetubetu toziya ya ngondu yakuwi na kulaga wantu, su kamlaviyiti Yesu kwa womberi wamtenderi ntambu yawafira.
and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.
26 Pawaweriti wankumjega, waliwoniti na muntu yumu yawamshema Simoni gwa Kureni, kaweriti kankulawa muisi na kwingira mlushi. Su wambata, wamtwika lupingika lulii kalutoli kumbeli kwa Yesu.
And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear [it] behind Jesus.
27 Lipinga likulu lya wantu limfatiti, mngati mwawu waweriti wadala wankudaya na kumlilira.
And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,
28 Yesu kawagalambukira, kuwagambira, “Mwenga washina mawu wa Yerusalemu! Namundilira neni, kumbiti mlililiri maweni na wana wenu.
and Jesus having turned unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;
29 Toziya mashaka gankwiza, wantu hawalongi, ‘Mbaka kwa walii wagumba, yawaleriti ndiri ama kunonisiya wana!’
for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;
30 Hashiweri shipindi wantu pawayigambira migongu, ‘Gutuguwiri!’ Na kuvigambira vigongu, ‘Gutugubiki!’
then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —
31 Kwa mana, handa wantu wankugutendera mtera gwankali kuyuma ntambu hayi, hayiweri hashi kwa mtera guyuma?”
for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?'
32 Wawatoliti viraa wantu wamonga wawili, wadoda wawalagi pamuhera na Yesu.
And there were also others — two evil-doers — with him, to be put to death;
33 Pawasokiti kala pahala pawapashema, “Shipalakasa sha mtuhi,” Yesu ndo wamkong'onderiti misumali mulupingika pamuhera na walii wadoda wawili, yumu uwega wakuwi wa kumliwu na yumu uwega gwakuwi gwa kumshigi.
and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
34 Yesu kalonga, “Tati guwalekeziyi toziya wavimana ndiri vyawatenda.” Shakapanu wagawana nguwu zyakuwi kwa kugalambula simbi.
And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.
35 Wantu wawagolokiti palii pawamlola. Na walongoziya wamtendera lidufiya pawalonga, “Kawalopoziya wamonga, vinu kalilopoziyi mweni, handa mweni ndo Kristu, msyagula gwa Mlungu!”
And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'
36 Wanjagira wamtenderiti vira lidufiya, wamgenderiti wamupa icheshema
And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,
37 pawalonga, “Handa nakaka gwenga ndo Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi, gulilopoziyi gumweni.”
and saying, 'If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'
38 Vira vilii malembu aga wagatula kumpindi kwakuwi, “Ayu ndo Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi.”
And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, 'This is the King of the Jews.'
39 Yumu gwa walii wadoda yawakong'onderitwi misumali palupinjika, kamwigilanga Yesu pakalonga, “Hashi, yanakaka ndiri gwenga ndo Kristu? Su gulilopoziyi gumweni, gutulopoziyi na twenga vira.”
And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, 'If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'
40 Kumbiti mdoda gwingi ulii kamkalipira muyaguwi pakalonga, “Gwenga gumtira ndiri Mlungu ata padidini? Gwenga gupata azabu iraa ayi.
And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?
41 Gwenga na neni tustahili, mana aga ndo malipu ya galii gatutenditi. Kumbiti muntu ayu katenda ndiri shidoda shoseri.”
and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'
42 Shakapanu kalonga, “Gwenga Yesu! Gunholi shipindi pagwingira muufalumi waku.”
and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'
43 Yesu kamwankula, Nukugambira nakaka, lelu haguweri pamuhera na neni muparadisu.
and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'
44 Iweriti yapata saa sita paliwala, mshenji guleka kuwala, luwindu lugubikiti muisi yoseri mpaka saa tisa,
And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,
45 lipaziya lya numba nkulu ya Mlungu lipantika vipandi viwili.
and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,
46 Yesu kalila kwa liziwu likulu, Tati, mumawoku gaku nuyitula rohu yangu. Pakalongiti hangu kahowa.
and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, 'Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.
47 Paliya, mkulu gwa wanjagila pakawoniti kala galii gatendikiti kamkwisa Mlungu pakalonga, “Nakaka ayu kaweriti muntu muheri.”
And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'
48 Wantu woseri walii waweriti wajojinika toziya ya shitwatila ashi, pawawoniti galiya gatendikiti, wawuyiti ukaya kwawu pawahinginitiki.
and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;
49 Waganja wakuwi pamuhera na wadala walii wamfatiti kulawa Galilaya, wagolokiti kwa kutali kulola shitwatila shiliya.
and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 Kuweriti na muntu yumu litawu lyakuwi Yosefu, mwenikaya gwa shijiji shimu sha Wayawudi shawashishema Arimatayu. Kaweriti muntu muheri yakapananwa ligoya.
And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,
51 Kaweriti muntu yakashemitwi Yosefu kulawa Arimatayu mlushi lwa Yudeya. Kaweriti muntu mheri na yakapananwa ligoya, kaweriti kankuhepera kwiza kwa ufalumi wa Mlungu. Tembera kaweriti Mjumbi gwa shyoteramotu shikulu sha Wayawudi, kajimiliti ndiri nawomberi majimiranu na matendu gawu.
— he was not consenting to their counsel and deed — from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,
52 Yomberi kagenditi kwa Pilatu, kaluwa kamupi nshimba ya Yesu.
he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,
53 Su kasulusiya nshimba ilii kulawa mulupingika, kayizyengititi sanda ya shitani, kayitula mulipumba lyaliweriti walisongola mulitalawu, lyeni alyenitenderwi.
and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.
54 Lishaka lilii liweriti Ijumaa, na matandiru ga lishaka lya kwoyera liweriti lyankuyanja.
And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,
55 Wadala walii waweriti wafatana na Yesu kulawa Galilaya wamfatiti Yosefu, waliwona lipumba lilii ntambu yawatula nshimba yakuwi.
and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,
56 Shakapanu wawuyiti ukaya, watanditi uturi na malashi ga kuswaga nshimba ya Yesu. Lishaka lya kwoyera woyeriti gambira malagaliru gaamuwiti.
and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
