Luka 23
1 Bantu bangi balanyamuka, nekutwala Yesu kuli Pilato.
And all the multitude of them rising up, lead Him to Pilate.
2 Lino balatatika kumubepeshela Yesu eti, “Twalamucana muntu uyu kayungaula bantu ba mushobo wetu. Walikwambila bantu eti tucileke kusonka musonko kuli mwami wa ku Loma. Kayi ukute kwambeti ni Mupulushi Walaiwa kayi eti emwami.”
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 Lino Pilato walamwipusha Yesu eti, “Sena njobe, Mwami wa ba Yuda?” Yesu walakumbuleti, “Mulamba mobene.”
And Pilate asked Him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And responding to him, He said, Thou sayest it.
4 Pilato walambila bamakulene beshimilumbo nebantu bonse basa eti, “Ame kuliya mulandu ngondacana pa muntu uyu.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing criminal in this man.
5 Nsombi balo balayuminina kumubepeshela kabambeti, “Layungaulunga ne kufulunganya bantu pakwiyisha kwakendi mucishi conse ca Yudeya. Walatatikila ku Galileya lino mpaka lashiki ne kuno.”
And they became stronger and stronger, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee unto this place.
6 Pilato mpwalanyumfweco walepusheti, “Sena uyu muntu nimwine Galileya?”
And Pilate hearing, asked if He is a Galilean man.
7 Lino mpwalanyumfwa kwambeti Yesu ukute kufuma mucishi ncalikwendelesha Helode, walamutuma kuli Helode uyo walikuba mu Yelesalemu pa cindico.
And learning that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him up to Herod, being himself in Jerusalem in those days.
8 Helode mpwalabona Yesu walakondwa, pakwinga lyonse walikunyumfwa mbili yakendi. Neco walikuyanda kumubona. Walikuyandishisha kwambeti akamubonepo kensa cikankamanisho.
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 Neco Helode walamwipusha mipusho ingi, nsombi Yesu nendi liya kumukumbulapo ciliconse.
And he asked Him with many words; and He responded to him nothing.
10 Bamakulene beshimilumbo ne beshikwiyisha ba Milawo balesa pepi nekutatika kumubepesha cangofu.
But the high priest and scribes stood by, accusing Him vehemently.
11 Helode nebashilikali bakendi balamuseka Yesu ne kumunyansha. Lino balamufwalika cakufwala cabwami, nekumubwesha kuli Pilato.
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 Kufuma busuba ubo Helode ne Pilato balatatika kunyumfwana pakwinga balikuba bapatana.
And both Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with one another: for they were hitherto in enmity either to other.
13 Lino Pilato walabunganya bamakulene beshimilumbo ne beshikwendelesha kayi ne bantu bonse.
Pilate having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 Lino walabambileti, “Uyu muntu mulamulete kuli njameti nkayungaula bantu, lino ame ndamwipushu mwense kamulipo, ndacana kwambeti liya mulandu pamakani onse ngomwa mwambanga.
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 Helode neye liya kucanapo mulandu pali uyu muntu, weco neye lamubweshe kuli afwe. Kamubona uyu muntu liya kwinsapo mulandu wakufwilapo.
But Herod did not: for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.
16 Neco ndimukwipowa ne kumusungulula.”
Therefore having scourged Him, I will release Him.
17 Nomba Pilato lyonse walikubasungululila kayili umo pabusuba bwa Pasika.
18 Nsombi bonse bantu balolobesha pamo eti, “Ashinwe muntu uyu, mutusungwilile Balabasi.”
And they unanimously cried out, saying, Take Him away, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 Balabasi uyu walasungwa pakwinga walapanga cimfulunganya mucishi ne kushina bantu.
who had been cast into prison on account of certain sedition made in the city, and murder.
20 Nsombi Pilato walikuyanda kumusungulula Yesu, neco walamba nabo bantu basa kayi.
Then Pilate again called to them, wishing to release Jesus.
21 Nomba nabo balolobesheti, “Mupopeni palusanda! Mupopeni!”
And they continued to shout aloud, saying, Crucify Him, crucify Him.
22 Pilato walabambila bantu kabutatu eti, nomba lenshi cani caipa uyu? Ame ndacana kwambeti liya mulandu ngwelakufwilapo. Neco ndimukwipowa nekumusungulula.
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 Nsombi bonse bayuminina kolobesheti, “Welela kupopwa palusanda.” Lino Pilato walakomwa kumaswi ayo.
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 Neco Pilato walapingula kwelana ne ncobalikusenga bantu baseti cinshike.
And Pilate decided that their request should be granted.
25 Pilato walasungulula Balabasi uyo walaleta cimfulunganya nekushina bantu ngobalasenga. Yesu bamwinse kwelana mbuli kuyanda kwabo.
And released him who on account of sedition and murder had been cast into prison, and delivered up Jesus according to their wish.
26 Bashilikali balamumanta Yesu kwambeti benga bamupope. Balakumana ne Shimoni waku Kulene, nkafuma muminshi. Balamwikata nekumunyamwisha lusanda kwambeti akonkenga panyuma pa Yesu.
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 Bantu bangi balikumukonkela. Pakati pabo palikuba batukashi bali kabalila nekunyumfwa kwipilwa pacebo ca Yesu.
And a great multitude of people followed Him, and of women who were both weeping and bewailing Him.
28 Lino Yesu walapilibuka ne kubambileti, “Amwe mobatukashi ba ku Yelusalemu mutalilila ame sobwe, nsombi mulilile mobene kayi ne bana benu.
And Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and your children.
29 Pakwinga masuba nakashike bantu mpoti bakambengeti, ‘Bakute colwe batukashi balabula kusemapo nekuyamwishapo!’
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 Pacindico nibakasenge malundu eti, ‘Kamutuwila’ Kayi netucina eti, ‘Tufwekeleleni.’
Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Hide us.
31 Nomba lino na kulico kulinjame ndecitondo catontola, nomba nikukabeconi kuli njamwe mobitondo byayuma?”
Because if they do these things in the green tree, what may be done in the dry?
32 Balamanta ba kapondo babili kwambeti benga bapopwe pamo ne Yesu.
And two malefactors were also led away with Him, to be executed.
33 Mpobalashika kumusena walikukwiweti cifupa ca mutwi, balapopa Yesu palusanda. Kopeloko balapopako bakapondo basa palusanda, umbi kululyo naumbi kucipiko.
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 Yesu walambeti, “Ta, kamubalekelela pakwinga nkabacinshi ncobalenshinga.” Lino balensa nsolo nekuyabana byakufwala byakendi.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. And dividing His garments, they were casting the lots.
35 Bantu balikuba bemana popelapo kabebela. Nomba bamakulene ba Bayuda abo kabaweluluka Yesu nekwambeti, “Walapulusha bambi, lino neye alipulushe mwine, na ni Mupulushi uyo Walaiwa ne Lesa.”
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 Bashilikali naboyo balamuseka, balesa pepi nekumupa waini wasasa eti anwe.
And the soldiers were also mocking, coming and bringing the vinegar to Him,
37 Nekumwambileti, “Na njobe Mwami wa Bayuda, lipulushe omwine.”
and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Pelu palusanda palikuba palembweti, “Uyu emwami wa ba Yuda.”
And the superscription was also over Him: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Kapondo umo walikuba wapopwa pamo ne Yesu, walamucobola Yesu eti, “Sena ntobe mupulushi washomeshewa? Lipulushe nenjafwe utupulushe.”
And one of the malefactors having been hung up, continued to blaspheme Him, saying, If thou art the Christ, save thyself and us.
40 Nsombi umbi walakalilila munendi nekumwambileti, “Sena obe nkotini Lesa? Tulapopwa pamo twense mu mapensho.
But the other one responding, rebuked him saying, Do you not fear God, because you are in the same condemnation?
41 Nsombi afwe tobabili twelela kupopwa pakwinga tulatambulunga cilambo celela pa bintu mbyotwalikwinsa. Lino uyu neye kuliya caipa ncalensapo.”
and we indeed justly; for we are receiving the deservings of the things we did: but this one has done nothing amiss.
42 Lino walambila Yesu eti “Mukanganuke mwakesa mu Bwami bwenu.”
And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou mayest come in thy kingdom.
43 Lino Yesu walamwambileti, “Cakubinga ndakwambilinga lelo, nukekale nenjame mu Paladaiso.”
And Jesus said to him, Truly I say unto thee, This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 Lino cindi mpocalashika pa 12 koloko, kwalaba mushinshe pacishi conse kushikila 3 koloko,
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 lino cikwisa calikucala mu Ng'anda ya Lesa calatwamuka pakati.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the middle.
46 Lino Yesu walolobesha ne liswi lya pelu eti, “Ta mushimu wakame ndaubiki mumakasa enu.” Mpwalapwisha kwambeco, walafwa.
And calling with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, He expired.
47 Mukulene wa bashilikali mpwalaboneco, walalumbaisha Lesa, ne kwambeti, “Nicakubinga uyu muntu walikuba walulama.”
And the centurion seeing that which took place, glorified God, saying, Surely this was a righteous man.
48 Naboyo bantu bangi balikuba babungana kabebela, mpobalabona calenshika balabwelela kumanda kwabo nkabayakulyuma pantiti ne kungumana.
And all the multitudes being present at that scene, seeing those things which took place, were going away beating their breasts.
49 Bantu bonse balikumwinshiba Yesu, ne batukashi basa balamukonkela baku Galileya, balemana patali kababona byonse byalenshika.
And all His acquaintances stood a great way off and the women who having followed along with Him from Galilee, seeing these things.
50 Kwalikuba muntu walikukwiweti Yosefe walikwikala mumushi wa Alimateya mucishi ca Yudeya. Walikuba umo wamulibunga lya Nkuta inene ya Bayuda, walikuba muntu uli cena walemekwa
And behold, there was a man by name Joseph, being a councilor, a good and righteous man,
51 nendi wali kupembelela kwisa kwa Bwami bwa Lesa.
(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 Uyu muntu walaya ku musenga Pilato citumbi ca Yesu.
He having come to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus.
53 Lino walaselusha citumbi palusanda ne kupombela mucikwisa caina, walamubika mu cumbwe ca mulibwe umo mwalikuba mutana mubikwapo muntu uliyense.
And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a hewn sepulcher, where no one ever was laid.
54 Bwalikuba busuba bwakulibambila pakwinga busuba bwa Sabata bwalikuba pepi kutatika.
And it was Preparation day, and the Sabbath was drawing nigh.
55 Batukashi baku Galileya basa balikukonkela Yesu balaya ne Yosefe akubona cumbwe mwalabika citumbi ca Yesu.
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 Balabwelela ku ng'anda a kubamba mafuta anunkila cena. Lino pabusuba bwa Sabata, balapumwina kwelana ne Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose.
And having returned, they prepared aromatics and myrrh: and they kept the Sabbath according to the commandment.
