Ruka 23
1 Ipapo ungano yose yakasimuka ikaenda naye kuna Pirato.
And the whole company of them arose, and carried him before 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, and said: We have found this man seducing our people, and forbidding to pay the capitation money to Caesar, and declaring himself to be king Messiah.
3 Saka Pirato akabvunza Jesu achiti, “Ndiwe mambo wavaJudha here?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Hongu, ndizvo zvamareva.”
And Pilate interrogated him, and said to him: Art thou king of the Jews? He said to him: Thou hast said.
4 Ipapo Pirato akati kuvaprista vakuru navanhu vazhinji, “Handiwani hwaro hwemhosva inopomerwa murume uyu.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the company: I find no crime upon this man.
5 Asi ivo vakaramba vachiti, “Anomutsa vanhu nedzidziso yake muJudhea rose. Akatanga kuGarirea uye atosvika kwose kuno uku.”
And they vociferated, and said: He raiseth disturbance among our people, by teaching in all Judaea, commencing from Galilee, and quite to this place.
6 Anzwa izvi, Pirato akabvunza kuti murume uyu akanga ari muGarirea here.
And Pilate, when he heard the name Galilee, inquired if the man were a Galilean.
7 Akati anzwa kuti Jesu akanga ari pasi poutongi hwaHerodhi, akabva amutumira kuna Herodhi, uyo aivawo muJerusarema panguva iyoyo.
And having learned that he was from under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod; for he was at Jerusalem on 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 greatly when he saw Jesus, for he had been desirous to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things of him, and he hoped to see some sign from him.
9 Akamubvunza mibvunzo mizhinji, asi Jesu haana kumupindura.
And he asked him many questions; but Jesus gave him no reply.
10 Vaprista vakuru navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vamire ipapo, vachinyanya kumupomera mhosva.
And the chief priests and Scribes stood up, and accused him vehemently.
11 Ipapo Herodhi navarwi vake vakamuzvidza uye vakamuseka. Vakamupfekedza nguo youmambo, vakamudzosera kuna Pirato.
And Herod and his warriors contemned him. And when he had mocked him, he clothed him in a purple robe, and sent him to Pilate.
12 Musi uyo, Herodhi naPirato vakava shamwari, kare kwavo, vakanga vachimbovengana.
And on that day, Pilate and Herod became friends to each other; for there had previously been enmity between them.
13 Pirato akaunganidza vaprista vakuru, vatongi, navanhu,
And Pilate called the chief priests and the rulers of the people,
14 akati kwavari, “Mauyisa munhu uyu kwandiri somunhu anomutsa vanhu kuti vamukire hurumende. Ndanyatsomuongorora pamberi penyu uye ndashaya hwaro hwemhosva yamunomupomera.
and said to them: Ye have brought this man before me, as a disturber of your people; and lo, I have examined him before you, and I find in the man no crime, among all that ye charge upon him.
15 Kunyange naHerodhi, nokuti amudzosa kwatiri; sezvamunoona, haana kuita chinhu chingafanira kutongerwa rufu.
Neither yet Herod: for I sent him to him, and lo, nothing deserving death hath been done by him.
16 Naizvozvo, ndichamurova ndigomuregedza.”
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 (Nokuti aifanira kuvasunungurira mumwe munhu pamutambo.)
For it was a custom, that he should release one at the festival.
18 Vose pamwe chete vakadanidzira vachiti, “Murume uyu ngaafe! Tisunungurirei Bharabhasi!”
And all the company vociferated, and said: Away with this man; and release to us Barabbas.
19 (Bharabhasi akanga aiswa mujeri nokuda kwebope raakanga amutsa muguta, uye nemhaka yokuuraya.)
He was one who had been thrown into prison, on account of a sedition and murder which had occurred in the city.
20 Sezvaakanga achida kusunungura Jesu, Pirato akataurazve navo.
And Pilate, being disposed to release Jesus, conversed with them again.
21 Asi ivo vakaramba vachidanidzira vachiti, “Murovererei! Murovererei!”
But they cried out, and said: 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: But, what evil hath he done? I find no crime in him deserving of death. I will scourge him, therefore, and release him.
23 Asi vakaramba vachidanidzira nenzwi guru vachiti aifanira kurovererwa pamuchinjikwa, uye kudanidzira kwavo kukakunda.
But they were urgent, with a loud voice; and demanded of him, that they might crucify him.
24 Saka Pirato akatonga kuti zvavakakumbira zviitwe.
And Pilate decreed, that their request be granted.
25 Akasunungura murume akanga aiswa mujeri nokuda kwebope uye nokuuraya, uyo wavakanga vakumbira, ndokubva avapa Jesu kuti vaite zvavanoda naye.
And he released to them him, who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, for whom they petitioned; and he delivered up Jesus to their pleasure.
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 seized Simon the Cyrenian, coming from the fields. and laid upon him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.
27 Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakamutevera, pamwe chete navakadzi vakanga vachichema uye vachiungudza.
And there followed after him a great multitude of people; and those women also who wailed and lamented over him.
28 Jesu akatendeuka akati kwavari, “Vanasikana veJerusarema, musandichema ini; zvichemei imi navana venyu.
And Jesus turned to them, and said to them: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep rather for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Nokuti nguva ichasvika iyo yamuchati, ‘Vakaropafadzwa vakadzi vasingabereki, izvo zvizvaro zvisina kumbobereka, namazamu asina kumboyamwisa!’
For lo, the days are coming, in which they will say: Happy the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.
30 Ipapo “vachati kumakomo, ‘Wirai pamusoro pedu!’ nokuzvikomo, ‘Tifukidzei!’
Then will 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 they do these things in a green tree, what will be in the dry?
32 Vamwezve varume vaviri, vose vakanga vari mbavha, vakatorwawo pamwe chete naye kuti vandourayiwa.
And there went along with him two others, malefactors, to be crucified.
33 Vakati vasvika panzvimbo yainzi Dehenya, vakamuroverera ipapo, pamwe chete nembavha, mumwe kurudyi rwake, mumwe kuruboshwe rwake.
And when they came to a certain place which is called a Skull, they crucified him there; and the two malefactors, the one on his right hand, and the other on his 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. And they divided his garments, casting a lot upon them.
35 Vanhu vakamira vakatarira, uye kunyange vatongi vakamuseka. Vakati, “Akaponesa vamwe; ngaazviponese iye pachake kana ari Kristu waMwari, iye Musanangurwa.”
And the people stood and looked on; and the rulers also derided him, and said: He quickened others; let him quicken himself, if he is the Messiah, the chosen of God.
36 Varwi vakasvikawo vakamuseka. Vakamupa waini yevhiniga
And the soldiers like wise mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 vakati, “Kana uri mambo wavaJudha, chizviponesa.”
and saying to him: If thou art the king of the Jews, quicken thyself.
38 Pamusoro pake pakanga pane chiziviso chakanga chakanyorwa kuti: uyu ndiye mambo wavajudha.
And there was likewise a superscription over him, written in 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 malefactors who were crucified with him, reproached him, and said: If thou art the Messiah, rescue thyself, and rescue us.
40 Asi imwe mbavha yakamutsiura ikati, “Hautyi Mwari here iwe, sezvo uri pakutongwa kumwe cheteko?
But his fellow Malefactor rebuked him, said to him: Art thou not afraid even of God, seeing thou art under the same sentence?
41 Isu tiri kutongwa zvakarurama, nokuti tiri kupiwa zvakafanira mabasa edu. Asi munhu uyu haana chakaipa chaakaita.”
And we justly; for we have a retribution according to our deserts, and according to our deeds; but nothing hateful hath been done by him.
42 Ipapo akati, “Jesu, mundirangarirewo pamunenge masvika muumambo hwenyu.”
And he said to Jesus: My Lord, remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri, nhasi uchava neni muparadhiso.”
Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, That 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 about the sixth hour; and darkness was 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 curtain of the door of the temple was rent through its middle.
46 Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Baba, ndinoisa mweya wangu mumaoko enyu.” Akati ataura izvi, akabudisa mweya wake.
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said: My Father, into thy hand I commit my spirit. Thus he spake, and expired.
47 Mukuru wezana, akati achiona zvakanga zvaitika, akarumbidza Mwari achiti, “Zvirokwazvo uyu anga ari munhu akarurama.”
And when the centurion saw what occurred, he glorified God and said: Certainly, 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 who had assembled at this spectacle, on seeing what occurred, returned, smiting upon their breasts.
49 Asi vakanga vachimuziva, pamwe chete navakadzi vakanga vamutevera vachibva kuGarirea, vakamira nechokure, vakatarisa zvinhu zvose izvi.
And there were standing at a distance, all they that knew Jesus, and those women who came with him from Galilee; and they beheld these things.
50 Zvino kwakanga kuno mumwe murume ainzi Josefa, nhengo yedare ramakurukota, munhu akanga akanaka uye akarurama,
And there was a certain man, whose name was Joseph, a counsellor, from Ramath a city of Judaea, who was a good man and righteous;
51 uyo akanga asina kubvumirana navo pakuronga kwavo uye nokuita kwavo. Aibva kuguta ravaJudha reArimatea uye akanga akamirira umambo hwaMwari.
and he had not consented to their decision and deed; and he was waiting 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 he took it down, and wrapped it in a winding-sheet of linen; and laid it in an excavated sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.
54 Rakanga riri zuva rokugadzirira, uye Sabata rakanga rava kuda kutanga.
And it was the day of preparation, and the sabbath began to dawn.
55 Vakadzi vaya vakanga vauya naJesu vachibva kuGarirea vakatevera Josefa vakaona guva uye kuti mutumbi wake wakanga waradzikwa sei mariri.
And those women who came with him from Galilee, approached, and viewed the sepulchre, and the manner in which the body was deposited.
56 Ipapo vakaenda kumba vakandogadzira zvinonhuhwira namafuta anonhuhwira. Asi vakazorora nomusi weSabata vachiteerera murayiro.
And they returned, and prepared perfumes and aromatics; and they rested on the sabbath, as it is commanded.
