Ruka 23
1 Ipapo ungano yose yakasimuka ikaenda naye kuna Pirato.
And all the multitude of them rising up, lead 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 found Him perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He is Christ, a 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? And responding to him, He 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 the multitudes, I find nothing criminal in this man.
5 Asi ivo vakaramba vachiti, “Anomutsa vanhu nedzidziso yake muJudhea rose. Akatanga kuGarirea uye atosvika kwose kuno uku.”
And they became stronger and stronger, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee unto this place.
6 Anzwa izvi, Pirato akabvunza kuti murume uyu akanga ari muGarirea here.
And Pilate hearing, asked if He is a Galilean man.
7 Akati anzwa kuti Jesu akanga ari pasi poutongi hwaHerodhi, akabva amutumira kuna Herodhi, uyo aivawo muJerusarema panguva iyoyo.
And learning that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him up to Herod, being himself in 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, rejoiced exceedingly: for from a long time, wishing to see Him, because He was hearing about Him; and he was hoping to see some miracle wrought by Him.
9 Akamubvunza mibvunzo mizhinji, asi Jesu haana kumupindura.
And he asked Him with many words; and He responded to him nothing.
10 Vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vamire ipapo, vachinyanya kumupomera mhosva.
But the high priest and scribes stood by, accusing Him vehemently.
11 Ipapo Herodhi navarwi vake vakamuzvidza uye vakamuseka. Vakamupfekedza nguo youmambo, vakamudzosera kuna Pirato.
But Herod along with his soldiers having indeed treated Him with contempt, and mocked Him, putting on Him a scarlet robe, sent Him back to Pilate.
12 Musi uyo, Herodhi naPirato vakava shamwari, kare kwavo, vakanga vachimbovengana.
And both Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with one another: for they were hitherto in enmity either to other.
13 Pirato akaunganidza vaprista vakuru, vatongi, navanhu,
Pilate having called together the chief priests and the rulers 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 brought to me this man, as revolutionizing the people: and behold, I, judging Him before you, found nothing in this man criminal of those things which you accuse against Him.
15 Kunyange naHerodhi, nokuti amudzosa kwatiri; sezvamunoona, haana kuita chinhu chingafanira kutongerwa rufu.
But Herod did not: for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.
16 Naizvozvo, ndichamurova ndigomuregedza.”
Therefore having scourged Him, I will release Him.
17 (Nokuti aifanira kuvasunungurira mumwe munhu pamutambo.)
18 Vose pamwe chete vakadanidzira vachiti, “Murume uyu ngaafe! Tisunungurirei Bharabhasi!”
And they unanimously cried out, saying, Take Him away, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 (Bharabhasi akanga aiswa mujeri nokuda kwebope raakanga amutsa muguta, uye nemhaka yokuuraya.)
who had been cast into prison on account of certain sedition made in the city, and murder.
20 Sezvaakanga achida kusunungura Jesu, Pirato akataurazve navo.
Then Pilate again called to them, wishing to release Jesus.
21 Asi ivo vakaramba vachidanidzira vachiti, “Murovererei! Murovererei!”
And they continued to shout aloud, 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 spoke to them the third time, For what evil hath He done? I found nothing in Him worthy of death: therefore having scourged Him, I will release Him.
23 Asi vakaramba vachidanidzira nenzwi guru vachiti aifanira kurovererwa pamuchinjikwa, uye kudanidzira kwavo kukakunda.
And they continued to lay on with great voices, demanding that He should be crucified: and the voices of them and the high priests continued to grow stronger.
24 Saka Pirato akatonga kuti zvavakakumbira zviitwe.
And Pilate decided that their request should be granted.
25 Akasunungura murume akanga aiswa mujeri nokuda kwebope uye nokuuraya, uyo wavakanga vakumbira, ndokubva avapa Jesu kuti vaite zvavanoda naye.
And released him who on account of sedition and murder had been cast into prison, and delivered up Jesus according to their wish.
26 Vakati voenda naye, vakabata murume ainzi Simoni weKurini, uyo akanga achibva muruwa, vakamutakudza muchinjikwa ari mushure maJesu.
And when they were leading Him away, taking a certain Simon, a Cyrenean, coming from the country, they placed the cross on him, to carry it after Jesus.
27 Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera, pamwe chete navakadzi vakanga vachichema uye vachiungudza.
And a great multitude of people followed Him, and of women who were both weeping and bewailing Him.
28 Jesu akatendeuka akati kwavari, “Vanasikana veJerusarema, musandichema ini; zvichemei imi navana venyu.
And Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and your children.
29 Nokuti nguva ichasvika iyo yamuchati, ‘Vakaropafadzwa vakadzi vasingabereki, izvo zvizvaro zvisina kumbobereka, namazamu asina kumboyamwisa!’
Because behold, the days are coming, in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that did not bring forth, and the breasts that did not nurse.
30 Ipapo “vachati kumakomo, ‘Wirai pamusoro pedu!’ nokuzvikomo, ‘Tifukidzei!’
Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Hide us.
31 Nokuti kana vanhu vachiita zvinhu izvi pamuti munyoro, chiiko chichaitika kune wakaoma?”
Because if they do these things in the green tree, what may be done in the dry?
32 Vamwezve varume vaviri, vose vakanga vari mbavha, vakatorwawo pamwe chete naye kuti vandourayiwa.
And two malefactors were also led away with Him, to be executed.
33 Vakati vasvika panzvimbo yainzi Dehenya, vakamuroverera ipapo, pamwe chete nembavha, mumwe kurudyi rwake, mumwe kuruboshwe rwake.
And when they came to the place called Calvary. There they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right and one 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 are doing. And dividing His garments, they were casting the lots.
35 Vanhu vakamira vakatarira, uye kunyange vatongi vakamuseka. Vakati, “Akaponesa vamwe; ngaazviponese iye pachake kana ari Kristu waMwari, iye Musanangurwa.”
The people stood looking: and the rulers were even mocking with themselves, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ, the elect of God.
36 Varwi vakasvikawo vakamuseka. Vakamupa waini yevhiniga
And the soldiers were also mocking, coming and bringing the vinegar to Him,
37 vakati, “Kana uri mambo wavaJudha, chizviponesa.”
and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Pamusoro pake pakanga pane chiziviso chakanga chakanyorwa kuti: uyu ndiye mambo wavajudha.
And the superscription was also over Him: 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 the malefactors having been hung up, continued to blaspheme Him, saying, If thou art the Christ, save thyself and us.
40 Asi imwe mbavha yakamutsiura ikati, “Hautyi Mwari here iwe, sezvo uri pakutongwa kumwe cheteko?
But the other one responding, rebuked him saying, Do you not fear God, because you are in 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 are receiving the deservings of the things we did: but this one has done nothing amiss.
42 Ipapo akati, “Jesu, mundirangarirewo pamunenge masvika muumambo hwenyu.”
And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou mayest come in thy kingdom.
43 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri, nhasi uchava neni muparadhiso.”
And Jesus said to him, Truly I say unto thee, This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 Zvino yakanga yava nguva inenge yechitanhatu, rima rikava pamusoro penyika yose kusvikira panguva yepfumbamwe,
And it was about 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 middle.
46 Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Baba, ndinoisa mweya wangu mumaoko enyu.” Akati ataura izvi, akabudisa mweya wake.
And calling with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, He expired.
47 Mukuru wezana, akati achiona zvakanga zvaitika, akarumbidza Mwari achiti, “Zvirokwazvo uyu anga ari munhu akarurama.”
And the centurion seeing that which took place, glorified God, saying, Surely this was a righteous man.
48 Vanhu vose vakanga vakaungana kuzopupura chiitiko ichi, vakaona zvakanga zvaitika, vakazvirova zvipfuva zvavo uye vakaenda.
And all the multitudes being present at that scene, seeing those things which took place, were going away beating their breasts.
49 Asi vakanga vachimuziva, pamwe chete navakadzi vakanga vamutevera vachibva kuGarirea, vakamira nechokure, vakatarisa zvinhu zvose izvi.
And all His acquaintances stood a great way off and the women who having followed along with Him from Galilee, seeing these things.
50 Zvino kwakanga kuno mumwe murume ainzi Josefa, nhengo yedare ramakurukota, munhu akanga akanaka uye akarurama,
And behold, there was a man by name Joseph, being a councilor, a good and righteous man,
51 uyo akanga asina kubvumirana navo pakuronga kwavo uye nokuita kwavo. Aibva kuguta ravaJudha reArimatea uye akanga akamirira umambo hwaMwari.
(for he was not consenting unto their counsel and deed), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God.
52 Asvika kuna Pirato, akakumbira mutumbi waJesu.
He having come to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus.
53 Ipapo akauburutsa, akauputira nomucheka akauisa muguva rakanga racherwa paruware, rakanga risina kumbovigwa munhu.
And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a hewn sepulcher, where no one ever was laid.
54 Rakanga riri zuva rokugadzirira, uye Sabata rakanga rava kuda kutanga.
And it was Preparation day, and the Sabbath was drawing nigh.
55 Vakadzi vaya vakanga vauya naJesu vachibva kuGarirea vakatevera Josefa vakaona guva uye kuti mutumbi wake wakanga waradzikwa sei mariri.
And the women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed down, saw the sepulcher, and where His body was placed.
56 Ipapo vakaenda kumba vakandogadzira zvinonhuhwira namafuta anonhuhwira. Asi vakazorora nomusi weSabata vachiteerera murayiro.
And having returned, they prepared aromatics and myrrh: and they kept the Sabbath according to the commandment.
