Lukas 23
1 Och de stodo upp, hela hopen, och förde honom till Pilatus.
Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
2 Där begynte de anklaga honom och sade: "Vi hava funnit att denne man förleder vårt folk och vill förhindra att man giver kejsaren skatt, och att han säger sig vara Messias, en konung."
They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
3 Då frågade Pilatus honom och sade: Är du judarnas konung?" Han svarade honom och sade: "Du säger det själv."
Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
4 Men Pilatus sade till översteprästerna och till folket: "Jag finner intet brottsligt hos denne man."
Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
5 Då blevo de ännu ivrigare och sade: "Han uppviglar med sin lära folket i hela Judeen, allt ifrån Galileen och ända hit."
But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
6 När Pilatus hörde detta, frågade han om mannen var från Galileen.
When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
7 Och då han fick veta att han var från det land som lydde under Herodes' välde, sände han honom bort till Herodes, som under dessa dalar också var i Jerusalem.
When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 När Herodes fick se Jesus, blev han mycket glad, ty han hade sedan lång tid velat se honom; han hade nämligen hört talas om honom, och han hoppades nu att få se honom göra något tecken.
[So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
9 Men fastän han ställde ganska många frågor på Jesus, svarade denne honom intet.
So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
10 Och översteprästerna och de skriftlärde stodo där och anklagade honom häftigt.
The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
11 Men Herodes och hans krigsfolk bemötte honom med förakt och begabbade honom; och sedan de hade satt på honom en lysande klädnad, sände de honom tillbaka till Pilatus.
Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
12 Och Herodes och Pilatus blevo den dagen vänner med varandra; Förut hade nämligen dem emellan rått ovänskap.
Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
13 Sedan kallade Pilatus tillhopa översteprästerna och rådsherrarna och folket
Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
14 och sade till dem: "I haven fört till mig denne man och sagt att han förleder folket; och jag har nu i eder närvaro anställt rannsakning med honom, men icke funnit honom skyldig till något av det som I anklagen honom för.
He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
15 Och ej heller Herodes har funnit honom skyldig; han har ju sänt honom tillbaka till oss. I sen alltså att denne icke har gjort något som förtjänar döden.
[Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
16 Därför vill jag giva honom lös, medan jag har tuktat honom."
So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
18 Då skriade hela hopen och sade: "Hav bort denne, och giv oss Barabbas lös."
But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
19 (Denne man hade blivit kastad i fängelse på grund av ett upplopp, som hade ägt rum i staden, och för ett dråps skull.)
Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
20 Åter talade Pilatus till dem, ty han önskade att kunna giva Jesus lös.
Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
21 Men de ropade emot honom: "Korsfäst, korsfäst honom!"
But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
22 Då talade han till dem för tredje gången och frågade: "Vad ont har denne då gjort? Jag har icke funnit honom skyldig till något som förtjänar döden Därför vill jag giva honom lös, sedan jag har tuktat honom."
He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
23 Men de lågo över honom med höga rop och begärde att han skulle låta korsfästa honom; och deras rop blevo honom övermäktiga.
But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
24 Då dömde Pilatus att så skulle ske, som de begärde.
Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
25 Och han lösgav den man de begärde, den som hade blivit kastad i fängelse för upplopp och dråp; men Jesus utlämnade han, för att med honom skulle ske efter deras vilja.
The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
26 När de sedan förde bort honom, fingo de fatt en man, Simon från Cyrene, som kom utifrån marken; på honom lade de korset, för att han skulle bära det efter Jesus.
As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
27 Men en stor hop folk följde med honom, bland dem också kvinnor som jämrade sig och gräto över honom.
A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
28 Då vände Jesus sig om till dem och sade: "I Jerusalems döttrar, gråten icke över mig, utan gråten över eder själva och över edra barn.
But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
29 Ty se, den tid skall komma, då man skall säga: 'Saliga äro de ofruktsamma, de moderliv som icke hava fött barn, och de bröst som icke hava givit di.'
I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
30 Då skall man begynna säga till: bergen: 'Fallen över oss', och till höjderna: 'Skylen oss.'
Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 Ty om han gör så med det friska trädet, vad skall icke då ske med det torra!"
[I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
32 Jämväl två andra, två ogärningsmän, fördes ut för att avlivas tillika med honom.
Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
33 Och när de hade kommit till den plats som kallades "Huvudskallen" korsfäste de honom där, så ock ogärningsmännen, den ene på högra sidan och den andre på vänstra.
When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
34 Men Jesus sade. "Fader, förlåt dem; ty de veta icke vad de göra. Och de delade hans kläder mellan sig och kastade lott om dem. --
Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
35 Men folket stod och såg därpå. Och jämväl rådsherrarna drevo gäck med honom och sade: "Andra har han hjälpt; nu må han hjälpa sig själv, om han är Guds Smorde, den utvalde."
Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
36 Också krigsmännen gingo fram och begabbade honom och räckte honom ättikvin
The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
37 och sade: "Är du judarnas konung, så hjälp dig själv."
They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 Men över honom hade man ock satt upp en överskrift: "Denne är judarnas konung."
[They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
39 Och en av de ogärningsmän som voro där upphängda smädade honom och sade: "Du är ju Messias; hjälp då dig själv och oss."
One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
40 Då tillrättavisade honom den andre och svarade och sade: "Fruktar icke heller du Gud, du som är under samma dom?
But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
41 Oss vederfares detta med all rätt, ty vi lida vad våra gärningar äro värda, men denne man har intet ont gjort."
They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
42 Sedan sade han: "Jesus, tänk på mig, när du kommer i ditt rike."
Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
43 Han svarade honom: "Sannerligen säger jag dig: I dag skall du vara med mig i paradiset."
Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
44 Det var nu omkring sjätte timmen; då kom över hela landet ett mörker, som varade ända till nionde timmen,
[Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
45 i det att solen miste sitt sken. Och förlåten i templet rämnade mitt itu.
There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
46 Och Jesus ropade med hög röst och sade: "Fader, i dina händer befaller jag min ande." Och när han hade sagt detta, gav han upp andan.
[As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
47 Men när hövitsmannen såg vad som skedde, prisade han Gud och sade: "Så var då denne verkligen en rättfärdig man!"
When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
48 Och när allt folket, de som hade kommit tillsammans för att se härpå, sågo vad som skedde, slogo de sig för bröstet och vände hem igen.
When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
49 Men alla hans vänner stodo på avstånd och sågo detta, bland dem också några kvinnor, de som hade följt med honom från Galileen.
All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
50 Nu var där en rådsherre, vi namn Josef, en god och rättfärdig man,
There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
51 som icke hade samtyckt till deras rådslag och gärning. Han var från Arimatea, en stad i Judeen; och han väntade på Guds rike.
But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
52 Denne gick till Pilatus och utbad sig att få Jesu kropp.
He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
53 Och han tog ned den och svepte den i en linneduk. Sedan lade han den i en grav som var uthuggen i klippan, och där ännu ingen hade varit lagd.
he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
54 Det var då tillredelsedag, och sabbatsdagen begynte ingå.
[They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
55 Och de kvinnor, som med honom hade kommit från Galileen, följde efter och sågo graven och sågo huru hans kropp lades ned däri.
The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
56 Sedan vände de hem igen och redde till välluktande kryddor och smörjelse; men på sabbaten voro de stilla, efter lagens bud.
Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
