Ruka 23
1 Ipapo ungano yose yakasimuka ikaenda naye kuna Pirato.
And the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate.
2 Uye vakatanga kumupomera mhosva, vachiti, “Takawana murume uyu achitsausa rudzi rwedu. Haabvumirani nokuripa mutero kuna Kesari uye anozviti ndiye Kristu, mambo.”
And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.
3 Saka Pirato akabvunza Jesu achiti, “Ndiwe mambo wavaJudha here?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Hongu, ndizvo zvamareva.”
And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.
4 Ipapo Pirato akati kuvaprista vakuru navanhu vazhinji, “Handiwani hwaro hwemhosva inopomerwa murume uyu.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man.
5 Asi ivo vakaramba vachiti, “Anomutsa vanhu nedzidziso yake muJudhea rose. Akatanga kuGarirea uye atosvika kwose kuno uku.”
But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 Anzwa izvi, Pirato akabvunza kuti murume uyu akanga ari muGarirea here.
But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?
7 Akati anzwa kuti Jesu akanga ari pasi poutongi hwaHerodhi, akabva amutumira kuna Herodhi, uyo aivawo muJerusarema panguva iyoyo.
And when he understood that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem, in those days.
8 Herodhi akati achiona Jesu, akafara zvikuru, nokuti akanga achishuva kumuona kwenguva refu. Kubva pane zvaakanga ambonzwa nezvake, ainge achitarisira kuti amuone achiita zvishamiso.
And Herod, seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.
9 Akamubvunza mibvunzo mizhinji, asi Jesu haana kumupindura.
And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing.
10 Vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vamire ipapo, vachinyanya kumupomera mhosva.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him.
11 Ipapo Herodhi navarwi vake vakamuzvidza uye vakamuseka. Vakamupfekedza nguo youmambo, vakamudzosera kuna Pirato.
And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.
12 Musi uyo, Herodhi naPirato vakava shamwari, kare kwavo, vakanga vachimbovengana.
And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.
13 Pirato akaunganidza vaprista vakuru, vatongi, navanhu,
And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14 akati kwavari, “Mauyisa munhu uyu kwandiri somunhu anomutsa vanhu kuti vamukire hurumende. Ndanyatsomuongorora pamberi penyu uye ndashaya hwaro hwemhosva yamunomupomera.
Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.
15 Kunyange naHerodhi, nokuti amudzosa kwatiri; sezvamunoona, haana kuita chinhu chingafanira kutongerwa rufu.
No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16 Naizvozvo, ndichamurova ndigomuregedza.”
I will chastise him therefore, and release him.
17 (Nokuti aifanira kuvasunungurira mumwe munhu pamutambo.)
Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.
18 Vose pamwe chete vakadanidzira vachiti, “Murume uyu ngaafe! Tisunungurirei Bharabhasi!”
But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 (Bharabhasi akanga aiswa mujeri nokuda kwebope raakanga amutsa muguta, uye nemhaka yokuuraya.)
Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison.
20 Sezvaakanga achida kusunungura Jesu, Pirato akataurazve navo.
And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.
21 Asi ivo vakaramba vachidanidzira vachiti, “Murovererei! Murovererei!”
But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, crucify him.
22 Akati kwavari kechitatu, “Sei? Murume uyu atadzeiko? Handina kuwana mhosva paari yokuti atongerwe rufu. Naizvozvo, ndichaita kuti arohwe ndigomusunungura.”
And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go.
23 Asi vakaramba vachidanidzira nenzwi guru vachiti aifanira kurovererwa pamuchinjikwa, uye kudanidzira kwavo kukakunda.
But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices prevailed.
24 Saka Pirato akatonga kuti zvavakakumbira zviitwe.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25 Akasunungura murume akanga aiswa mujeri nokuda kwebope uye nokuuraya, uyo wavakanga vakumbira, ndokubva avapa Jesu kuti vaite zvavanoda naye.
And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
26 Vakati voenda naye, vakabata murume ainzi Simoni weKurini, uyo akanga achibva muruwa, vakamutakudza muchinjikwa ari mushure maJesu.
And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
27 Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera, pamwe chete navakadzi vakanga vachichema uye vachiungudza.
And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.
28 Jesu akatendeuka akati kwavari, “Vanasikana veJerusarema, musandichema ini; zvichemei imi navana venyu.
But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Nokuti nguva ichasvika iyo yamuchati, ‘Vakaropafadzwa vakadzi vasingabereki, izvo zvizvaro zvisina kumbobereka, namazamu asina kumboyamwisa!’
For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck.
30 Ipapo “vachati kumakomo, ‘Wirai pamusoro pedu!’ nokuzvikomo, ‘Tifukidzei!’
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us; and to the hills: Cover us.
31 Nokuti kana vanhu vachiita zvinhu izvi pamuti munyoro, chiiko chichaitika kune wakaoma?”
For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Vamwezve varume vaviri, vose vakanga vari mbavha, vakatorwawo pamwe chete naye kuti vandourayiwa.
And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.
33 Vakati vasvika panzvimbo yainzi Dehenya, vakamuroverera ipapo, pamwe chete nembavha, mumwe kurudyi rwake, mumwe kuruboshwe rwake.
And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there; and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Jesu akati, “Baba, varegererei, nokuti havazivi zvavari kuita.” Vakagovana nguo dzake vachikanda mijenya.
And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.
35 Vanhu vakamira vakatarira, uye kunyange vatongi vakamuseka. Vakati, “Akaponesa vamwe; ngaazviponese iye pachake kana ari Kristu waMwari, iye Musanangurwa.”
And the people stood beholding, and the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God.
36 Varwi vakasvikawo vakamuseka. Vakamupa waini yevhiniga
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 vakati, “Kana uri mambo wavaJudha, chizviponesa.”
And saying: If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Pamusoro pake pakanga pane chiziviso chakanga chakanyorwa kuti: uyu ndiye mambo wavajudha.
And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Mumwe wembavha dzakanga dzakarembera pamwe chete naye akamutuka achiti, “Ko, ndiwe Kristu here? Zviponese ugoponesa nesuwo!”
And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 Asi imwe mbavha yakamutsiura ikati, “Hautyi Mwari here iwe, sezvo uri pakutongwa kumwe cheteko?
But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?
41 Isu tiri kutongwa zvakarurama, nokuti tiri kupiwa zvakafanira mabasa edu. Asi munhu uyu haana chakaipa chaakaita.”
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil.
42 Ipapo akati, “Jesu, mundirangarirewo pamunenge masvika muumambo hwenyu.”
And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
43 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri, nhasi uchava neni muparadhiso.”
And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
44 Zvino yakanga yava nguva inenge yechitanhatu, rima rikava pamusoro penyika yose kusvikira panguva yepfumbamwe,
And it was almost the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 nokuti zuva rakamira kuvhenekera. Uye chidzitiro chetemberi chakabvarurwa napakati.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Baba, ndinoisa mweya wangu mumaoko enyu.” Akati ataura izvi, akabudisa mweya wake.
And Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.
47 Mukuru wezana, akati achiona zvakanga zvaitika, akarumbidza Mwari achiti, “Zvirokwazvo uyu anga ari munhu akarurama.”
Now the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.
48 Vanhu vose vakanga vakaungana kuzopupura chiitiko ichi, vakaona zvakanga zvaitika, vakazvirova zvipfuva zvavo uye vakaenda.
And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned striking their breasts.
49 Asi vakanga vachimuziva, pamwe chete navakadzi vakanga vamutevera vachibva kuGarirea, vakamira nechokure, vakatarisa zvinhu zvose izvi.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 Zvino kwakanga kuno mumwe murume ainzi Josefa, nhengo yedare ramakurukota, munhu akanga akanaka uye akarurama,
And behold there was a man named Joseph, who was a counsellor, a good and just man,
51 uyo akanga asina kubvumirana navo pakuronga kwavo uye nokuita kwavo. Aibva kuguta ravaJudha reArimatea uye akanga akamirira umambo hwaMwari.
(The same had not consented to their counsel and doings; ) of Arimathea, a city of Judea; who also himself looked for the kingdom of God.
52 Asvika kuna Pirato, akakumbira mutumbi waJesu.
This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 Ipapo akauburutsa, akauputira nomucheka akauisa muguva rakanga racherwa paruware, rakanga risina kumbovigwa munhu.
And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid.
54 Rakanga riri zuva rokugadzirira, uye Sabata rakanga rava kuda kutanga.
And it was the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on.
55 Vakadzi vaya vakanga vauya naJesu vachibva kuGarirea vakatevera Josefa vakaona guva uye kuti mutumbi wake wakanga waradzikwa sei mariri.
And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
56 Ipapo vakaenda kumba vakandogadzira zvinonhuhwira namafuta anonhuhwira. Asi vakazorora nomusi weSabata vachiteerera murayiro.
And returning, they prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath day they rested, according to the commandment.
