Ruka 23
1 Ipapo ungano yose yakasimuka ikaenda naye kuna Pirato.
And having risen, the whole multitude of them 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 began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this One perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying Himself to be Christ, a king.”
3 Saka Pirato akabvunza Jesu achiti, “Ndiwe mambo wavaJudha here?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Hongu, ndizvo zvamareva.”
And Pilate questioned Him, saying, “You are the King of the Jews?” And He answering him, said, “You say [it].”
4 Ipapo Pirato akati kuvaprista vakuru navanhu vazhinji, “Handiwani hwaro hwemhosva inopomerwa murume uyu.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, “I find no fault in this Man”;
5 Asi ivo vakaramba vachiti, “Anomutsa vanhu nedzidziso yake muJudhea rose. Akatanga kuGarirea uye atosvika kwose kuno uku.”
and they were the more urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea—having begun from Galilee—to this place.”
6 Anzwa izvi, Pirato akabvunza kuti murume uyu akanga ari muGarirea here.
And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the Man is a Galilean,
7 Akati anzwa kuti Jesu akanga ari pasi poutongi hwaHerodhi, akabva amutumira kuna Herodhi, uyo aivawo muJerusarema panguva iyoyo.
and having known that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him back to Herod, he also being 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 rejoiced exceedingly having seen Jesus, for he was wishing to see Him for a long [time], because of hearing many things about Him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by Him,
9 Akamubvunza mibvunzo mizhinji, asi Jesu haana kumupindura.
and was questioning Him in many words, and He answered him nothing.
10 Vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vamire ipapo, vachinyanya kumupomera mhosva.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing Him,
11 Ipapo Herodhi navarwi vake vakamuzvidza uye vakamuseka. Vakamupfekedza nguo youmambo, vakamudzosera kuna Pirato.
and Herod with his soldiers having set Him at nothing, and having mocked, having cast radiant apparel around Him, sent Him back to Pilate,
12 Musi uyo, Herodhi naPirato vakava shamwari, kare kwavo, vakanga vachimbovengana.
and both Pilate and Herod became friends with one another on that day, for they were previously at enmity between themselves.
13 Pirato akaunganidza vaprista vakuru, vatongi, navanhu,
And 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 brought this Man to me as perverting the people, and behold, I having examined [Him] before you, found no fault in this Man in those things you bring forward against Him;
15 Kunyange naHerodhi, nokuti amudzosa kwatiri; sezvamunoona, haana kuita chinhu chingafanira kutongerwa rufu.
no, neither Herod, for he sent Him back to us, and behold, nothing worthy of death is having been done by Him;
16 Naizvozvo, ndichamurova ndigomuregedza.”
having corrected, therefore, I will release Him,”
17 (Nokuti aifanira kuvasunungurira mumwe munhu pamutambo.)
[[for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every celebration, ]]
18 Vose pamwe chete vakadanidzira vachiti, “Murume uyu ngaafe! Tisunungurirei Bharabhasi!”
and they cried out—the whole multitude—saying, “Away with this One, and release Barabbas to us,”
19 (Bharabhasi akanga aiswa mujeri nokuda kwebope raakanga amutsa muguta, uye nemhaka yokuuraya.)
who had been cast into prison, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder.
20 Sezvaakanga achida kusunungura Jesu, Pirato akataurazve navo.
Pilate again then—wishing to release Jesus—called to them,
21 Asi ivo vakaramba vachidanidzira vachiti, “Murovererei! Murovererei!”
but they were calling out, saying, “Crucify! 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 a third time, “Why, what evil did He do? I found no cause of death in Him; having corrected Him, then, I will release [Him].”
23 Asi vakaramba vachidanidzira nenzwi guru vachiti aifanira kurovererwa pamuchinjikwa, uye kudanidzira kwavo kukakunda.
And they were pressing with loud voices asking Him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
24 Saka Pirato akatonga kuti zvavakakumbira zviitwe.
and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
25 Akasunungura murume akanga aiswa mujeri nokuda kwebope uye nokuuraya, uyo wavakanga vakumbira, ndokubva avapa Jesu kuti vaite zvavanoda naye.
and he released him who because of sedition and murder has been cast into the prison, whom they were asking for, and he gave up Jesus 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, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put the cross on him to carry [it] behind Jesus.
27 Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera, pamwe chete navakadzi vakanga vachichema uye vachiungudza.
And a great multitude of the people were following Him, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting Him,
28 Jesu akatendeuka akati kwavari, “Vanasikana veJerusarema, musandichema ini; zvichemei imi navana venyu.
and Jesus having turned to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for 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, days come in which they will say, Blessed the barren, and wombs that did not bear, and breasts that did not give suck;
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, Cover us;
31 Nokuti kana vanhu vachiita zvinhu izvi pamuti munyoro, chiiko chichaitika kune wakaoma?”
for if they do these things in the green tree, what may happen in the dry?”
32 Vamwezve varume vaviri, vose vakanga vari mbavha, vakatorwawo pamwe chete naye kuti vandourayiwa.
And there were also others—two evildoers—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 came to the place that is called “[Place] of [the] Skull,” there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on the right hand 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 have not known what they do”; and parting His garments they cast a lot.
35 Vanhu vakamira vakatarira, uye kunyange vatongi vakamuseka. Vakati, “Akaponesa vamwe; ngaazviponese iye pachake kana ari Kristu waMwari, iye Musanangurwa.”
And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers were also sneering with them, saying, “He saved others, let Him save Himself, if this be the Christ, the Chosen One of God.”
36 Varwi vakasvikawo vakamuseka. Vakamupa waini yevhiniga
And the soldiers were also mocking Him, coming near and offering vinegar to Him,
37 vakati, “Kana uri mambo wavaJudha, chizviponesa.”
and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”
38 Pamusoro pake pakanga pane chiziviso chakanga chakanyorwa kuti: uyu ndiye mambo wavajudha.
And there was also an inscription 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 the evildoers who were hanged was slandering Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40 Asi imwe mbavha yakamutsiura ikati, “Hautyi Mwari here iwe, sezvo uri pakutongwa kumwe cheteko?
And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, that you are in the same judgment?
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 back [things] worthy of what we did, but this One did nothing out of place”;
42 Ipapo akati, “Jesu, mundirangarirewo pamunenge masvika muumambo hwenyu.”
and he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Lord, when You may come in Your kingdom”;
43 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri, nhasi uchava neni muparadhiso.”
and Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
44 Zvino yakanga yava nguva inenge yechitanhatu, rima rikava pamusoro penyika yose kusvikira panguva yepfumbamwe,
And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land 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 torn in the middle,
46 Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Baba, ndinoisa mweya wangu mumaoko enyu.” Akati ataura izvi, akabudisa mweya wake.
and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit”; now having said this, He breathed His last.
47 Mukuru wezana, akati achiona zvakanga zvaitika, akarumbidza Mwari achiti, “Zvirokwazvo uyu anga ari munhu akarurama.”
And the centurion having seen what was done, glorified God, saying, “Truly this Man was righteous”;
48 Vanhu vose vakanga vakaungana kuzopupura chiitiko ichi, vakaona zvakanga zvaitika, vakazvirova zvipfuva zvavo uye vakaenda.
and all the multitudes having come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, turned back striking their breasts;
49 Asi vakanga vachimuziva, pamwe chete navakadzi vakanga vamutevera vachibva kuGarirea, vakamira nechokure, vakatarisa zvinhu zvose izvi.
and all His acquaintances stood far off, and women who followed Him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 Zvino kwakanga kuno mumwe murume ainzi Josefa, nhengo yedare ramakurukota, munhu akanga akanaka uye akarurama,
And behold, a man, by name Joseph, being a counselor, a man good and righteous,
51 uyo akanga asina kubvumirana navo pakuronga kwavo uye nokuita kwavo. Aibva kuguta ravaJudha reArimatea uye akanga akamirira umambo hwaMwari.
from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the Kingdom of God, he was not consenting to their counsel and deed,
52 Asvika kuna Pirato, akakumbira mutumbi waJesu.
he having gone near to Pilate, asked for 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 fine linen, and placed it in a hewn out tomb, where no one was yet laid.
54 Rakanga riri zuva rokugadzirira, uye Sabata rakanga rava kuda kutanga.
And it was [the] Day of Preparation, and Sabbath was approaching,
55 Vakadzi vaya vakanga vauya naJesu vachibva kuGarirea vakatevera Josefa vakaona guva uye kuti mutumbi wake wakanga waradzikwa sei mariri.
and the women who also have come with Him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how His body was placed,
56 Ipapo vakaenda kumba vakandogadzira zvinonhuhwira namafuta anonhuhwira. Asi vakazorora nomusi weSabata vachiteerera murayiro.
and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
