Luke 23
1 Mme Lekgotla lotlhe la tseela Jesu kwa go Pilatwe wa molaodi.
The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
2 Mme ba simolola go mmaya molato ba re: “Motho yo o ntse a timetsa batho ba rona ka go ba raya a re ba se ka ba ntshetsa mmuso wa Seroma makgetho ebile o ipitsa gore ke Mesia wa rona, Kgosi.”
They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king."
3 Mme Pilatwe a mmotsa a re, “A o Mesia wa bone, Kgosi ya bone?” Jesu a fetola a re, “Ee, ke jaaka o bua.”
Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You say so."
4 Mme Pilatwe a retologela kwa baperesiting ba bagolo le kwa lesomong la batho a re, “Moo ga se molato!”
Pilate said to the chief cohanim and the crowds, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."
5 Ba kgobega marapo ba re, “Mme o tsosa dipheretlhego kgatlhanong le mmuso gongwe le gongwe kwa o yang teng, mo Judea otlhe, go tswa Galalea, go ya Jerusalema!”
But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galil even to this place."
6 Pilatwe a botsa a re, “A ke Moga lalea?”
But when Pilate heard it, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Mme ya re ba dumela, Pilatwe a re ba mo ise kwa go Kgosi Herode, gonne Galalea o ne a le ka fa tlase ga taolo ya ga Herode, mme Herode o ne a le mo Jerusalema ka lobaka loo.
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 Herode o ne a itumelela sebaka seo sa go bona Jesu, gonne o ne a mo utlwaletse thata mme a solofetse go bona a dira kgakgamatso.
Now when Herod saw Yeshua, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 A botsa Jesu dipotso ka go latelana, mme a se ka a fetola.
He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
10 Mme ya re ka lobakanyana loo, baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba tumelo ba goa ba eme foo ba mmaya molato.
The chief cohanim and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Mme Herode le masole a gagwe ba simolola go sotla Jesu ba mo tshega; ba mo apesa seaparo sa segosi, ba mmusetsa kwa go Pilatwe.
Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 Mme ya re letsatsi leo Herode le Pilatwe ba ba kileng ba ne ba tlhoane pele, ba nna ditsala tse dikgolo.
Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
13 Mme Pilatwe a phutha baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuta le batho,
Pilate called together the chief cohanim and the rulers and the people,
14 a bolela mogopolo wa gagwe a re, “Lo ntereditse monna yo, lo mmaya molato ka go tsosa khuduego kgatlhanong le mmuso wa Se-Roma. Mme ke mo tlhatlhobile sentle mo ntlheng e mme ga ke mmone molato ope.
and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that subverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
15 Herode le ene o mmuseditse kwano go rona, a sa mmona molato o o tshwanetseng loso.
Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Jalo ke tlaa mo kgwathisa ka thupa e e mitlwa, ke bo ke mo golola.”
I will therefore chastise him and release him."
17 Mme modumo o mogolo wa tsoga mo bathong ka lentswe le le lengwe ba re, “Mmolaye, o re gololele Barabase!”
(Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.)
But they all shouted out together, saying, "Away with this man. Release to us Barabbas"
19 (Barabase o ne a le mo kgolegelong ka ntlha ya go simolola dipheretlhego mo Jerusalema kgatlhanong le mmuso le go bolaya batho).
(one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.)
20 Mme Pilatwe a ganetsanya nabo, gonne o ne a batla go golola Jesu.
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Yeshua,
21 Mme ba goa ba re, “Mmapole! Mmapole!”
but they shouted, saying, "Crucify. Crucify him."
22 A bo a bua le bone la boraro a kopa a re, “Ka ntlha yang? O dirile molato ofe? Ga ke a bona lebaka lepe la go mo atlholela loso. Mme ke tlaa mo kgwathisa ke bo ke mo lesa a tsamaya.”
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 Mme ba goela kwa godimodimo gore Jesu a bapolwe, mantswe a bone a bo a fenya.
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief cohanim, prevailed.
24 Mme Pilatwe a atlholela Jesu loso jaaka ba lopile.
Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
25 Mme a golola Barabase, ka fa kopong ya bone, monna yo o neng a tshwaretswe go feretlha le go bolaya batho. Mme Pilatwe a ba neela Jesu gore ba mo dire ka fa ba ratang ka teng.
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua up to their will.
26 Mme ya re bontsi jwa batho bo isa Jesu kwa o neng a ya go bolaelwa teng, ba bona Simone wa Mokurene yo e neng e le gone a gorogang mo Jerusalema a tswa kwa dikgaolong, mme ba mo pateletsa go ba sala morago, a sikere mokgoro wa ga Jesu.
When they led him away, they grabbed one Shim'on of Cyrene, coming from the country, and placed on him the cross, to carry it after Yeshua.
27 Bontsintsijwa batho jwa mo sala morago, le basadi ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba mo lelela ka kutlobotlhoko.
A large crowd of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
28 Mme Jesu a retologa a ba raya a re, “Bomorwadia Jerusalema, se nteleleng, iteleleng lo bo lo lelele bana ba lona.
But Yeshua, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Gonne malatsi a e tla, a basadi ba ba senang bana ba tlaa bidiwang ba ba sego tota.
For look, 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 Batho ba tlaa lopa dithaba gore di ba wele di ba sugakanye le maje gore a ba khurumetse.
Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
31 Gonne fa dilo tse di ntseng jaana di dirwa mo go nna Setlhare sa Botshelo, lona ba tlaa lo dira jang?”
For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?"
32 Dinokwane tse pedi di ne tsa tlisiwa go ya go bolawa nae kwa lefelong le le bidiwang “Logata.” Ka boraro jwa bone ba bapolwa, Jesu a le mo mokgorong o o fa gare, dinokwane tse pedi di le mo ditlhakoreng.
There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
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 Mme Jesu a re, “Rara, itshwarele batho ba, gonne ga ba itse se ba se dirang.” Mme masole a kgaogana diaparo tsa gagwe ba di laola ka bola.
And Yeshua said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
35 Batho ba lebelela. Mme Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba sotla. Ba re, “O ne a siame thata go thusa ba bangwe, a re mmoneng a ipoloka fa e le gore ke ene tota yo o tlhophilweng ke Modimo go nna Mesia.”
The people stood watching. The rulers also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Messiah of God, his Chosen One."
36 Mme masole le one a mo sotla ka go mo nosa seno se se botlha sa mofine.
The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 Mme ba mo tlhaeletsa ba re, “Fa o le kgosi ya Bajuta, ipoloke!”
and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."
38 Kitsiso ya pegwa mo mokgorong fa godimo ga gagwe ka mafoko a, “Yo ke Kgosi ya Bajuta.”
An inscription was also written above him: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
39 Mongwe wa dinokwane yo o neng a pegilwe go bapa nae a sotla a re, “Wa re o Mesia, a ga o ene? Itshupe ka go ipoloka le rona o re boloke.”
One of the criminals who hung there insulted him, saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us."
40 Mme senokwane se sengwe sa re, “A le Modimo ga o o boife, le fa o o swa? Re tshwanetse go swa ka ntlha ya ditiro tsa rona tse di bosula, mme monna yo ga a a dira sepe se se molato.”
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."
42 Mme a re, “Jesu, o nkgopole fa o tsena mo Bogosing jwa gago!”
And he said, "Yeshua, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."
43 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, Tsatsi jeno o tlaa nna le nna kwa Paradaiseng ke go solofetsa ka boammaaruri.
And he said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
44 Mme ya bo e setse e le motshegare wa sethoboloko; ga nna lefifi mo lefatshing lotlhe selekanyo sa oura tse tharo, go fitlha ka nako ya boraro.
And it was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,
45 Letsatsi la fifala, mme ka tshoganetso sesiro sa Tempele sa gagoga ka bogare.
for the sun's light failed. And the veil of the temple was torn in two.
46 Mme Jesu a goa a re, “Rara, ke go neela mowa wa me.” Mme ka mafoko ao a swa.
And Yeshua, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last.
47 Ya re molaodi wa masole a Se-Roma yo o neng a laola polao ya bone a bona se se diragetseng, a tlelwa ke poifo fa pele ga Modimo a re, “Ruri monna yo o ne a sena molato.”
When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man."
48 Mme ya re bontsintsi jwa batho ba ba neng ba tsile go bona papolo ba bona Jesu a sule, ba boela magaeng ka kutlobotlhoko e kgolo.
All the crowds that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.
49 Mme ya re barutwa ba gagwe ba bona se se tla tlogang se direga ba goa ba re “Morena, a re ka lwa re tsile le dichaka.”
All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galil, stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Mme monna mongwe yo o bidiwang Josefa, leloko la Kgotla Kgolo ya Sejuta, wa motse wa Arimathea mo Judea, a ya kwa go Pilatwe a mo kopa setopo sa ga Jesu. E ne e le monna yo o boifang Modimo yo o neng a ntse a lebeletse go tla ga Mesia ebile o ne a ise a ke a dumalane le maikaelelo le dikgato tsa baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuta.
And look, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimateh, a city of the Judeans, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:
this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Yeshua.
53 Mme a folosa mmele wa ga Jesu a o phuthela ka letsela le le leele la lene mme a o baya mo lebitleng le lesha le le iseng le ke le dirisiwe, [le gabilwe mo lefikeng mo mhapheng wa thaba].
He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been placed.
54 Mo go ne ga diragala ka Labotlhano mo tshokologong ka letsatsi la iketleetso ya Sabata.
It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Mme ya re setopo se tsewa, basadi ba ba neng ba tswa Galalea ba se sala morago, ba se bona se tsenngwa mo phupung.
The women, who had come with him out of Galil, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was placed.
56 Mme ba ya magaeng go ya go baakanya malao le ditlolo go dibela setopo; mme ya re ba fetsa ga bo go le Sabata. Hong ba itapolosa letsatsi leo lotlhe ka fa molaong wa Sejuta.
They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
