Lucas 23
1 Ang buong kapulungan ay tumayo, at dinala si Jesus sa harapan ni Pilato.
Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
2 Nagsimula silang paratangan siya, sinasabi, “Nalaman na inaakay ng taong ito ang aming bansa sa kasamaan, ipinagbabawal niyang magbigay ng buwis kay Ceasar, at sinasabing siya mismo ang Cristo, na isang hari.”
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 Tinanong siya ni Pilato, sinasabi, “Ikaw ba ang Hari ng mga Judio?” At sinagot siya ni Jesus at sinabi, “Ikaw na ang may sabi.”
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 Sinabi ni Pilato sa mga punong pari at sa maraming tao, “Wala akong makitang kasalanan sa taong ito.”
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 Ngunit sila ay nagpupumilit, sinasabi, “Ginugulo niya ang mga tao, nagtuturo sa buong Judea, mula sa Galilea maging sa lugar na ito.”
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 Kaya nang marinig ito ni Pilato, tinanong niya kung ang taong iyon ay taga-Galilea.
When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
7 Nang malaman niyang nasa ilalim siya ng pamumuno ni Herodes, ipinadala niya si Jesus kay Herodes, na nasa Jerusalem din sa mga araw na iyon.
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 Nang makita ni Herodes si Jesus, labis siyang natuwa, dahil matagal na niya itong nais makita. Nakarinig siya ng tungkol sa kaniya at ninais niyang makakita ng ilang himala na ginawa niya.
[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 Maraming itinanong si Herodes kay Jesus, ngunit walang isinagot si Jesus sa kaniya.
So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
10 Tumayo ang mga punong pari at mga eskriba, marahas siyang pinaparatangan.
The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
11 Inalipusta siya ni Herodes kasama ng kaniyang mga kawal, at kinutya siya, at dinamitan siya ng magandang kasuotan, at ipinadala si Jesus pabalik kay Pilato.
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 Naging magkaibigan sina Herodes at Pilato sa araw ding iyon (dati silang magkaaway.)
Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
13 Tinipon ni Pilato ang mga punong pari at ang mga pinuno at ang napakaraming tao,
Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
14 at sinabi sa kanila, “Dinala ninyo ang taong ito sa akin na tila isang taong pinangungunahan ang mga tao upang gumawa ng masama, at tingnan ninyo, tinanong ko siya sa harapan ninyo, wala akong nakitang kasalanan sa taong ito tungkol sa mga bagay na inyong ipinaparatang sa kaniya.
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 Wala, kahit si Herodes, sapagkat siya ay ipinabalik niya sa atin, at tingnan ninyo, wala siyang ginawang karapat-dapat ng kamatayan.
[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 Kaya parurusahan ko siya, at pakakawalan siya.
So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
17 (Ngayon, sa pista, kailangang magpalaya ni Pilato ng isang bilanggo para sa mga Judio.)
18 Ngunit sabay-sabay silang sumigaw, sinasabi, “Alisin ninyo ang taong ito, at palayain si Barabbas para sa amin!”
But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
19 Si Barabbas ay isang taong ibinilanggo dahil sa pagrerebelde sa lungsod at dahil sa pagpatay.
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 Kinausap ulit sila ni Pilato, ninanais na palayain si Jesus.
Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
21 Ngunit sumigaw sila, sinasabi, “Ipako siya sa krus, ipako siya sa krus.”
But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
22 Sinabi niya sa kanila sa ikatlong pagkakataon, “Bakit, anong masamang ginawa ng taong ito? Wala akong natagpuan upang siya ay marapat na parusahan ng kamatayan. Kaya, pagkatapos niyang maparusahan, pakakawalan ko siya.”
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 Ngunit sila ay mapilit na may malalakas na tinig, hinihiling na ipapako siya krus. At nahikayat si Pilato ng kanilang mga tinig.
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 Kaya nagpasya si Pilato na ibigay ang kanilang kahilingan.
Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
25 Pinalaya niya ang taong hiniling nila, na ibinilanggo dahil sa panggugulo at pagpatay. Ngunit ibinigay niya si Jesus ayon sa kalooban nila.
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 Nang siya inilalayo nila, sinunggaban nila ang isang Simon na taga-Cirene, na nanggaling sa kabukiran, at pinapasan nila ang krus sa kaniya upang buhatin niya, na sumusunod kay 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 Siya ay sinusundan ng napakaraming tao, at mga kababaihang nagdadalamhati at tumatangis dahil sa kaniya.
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 Ngunit lumingon si Jesus sa kanila, at sinabi, “Mga anak na babae ng Jerusalem, huwag ninyo akong tangisan, ngunit tangisan ninyo ang inyong sarili at ang inyong mga anak.
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 Dahil tingnan ninyo, darating ang mga araw na sasabihin nila, 'Pinagpala ang mga baog at ang mga sinapupunang hindi nanganak, at ang mga suso na hindi nagpasuso.'
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 Sa panahong iyon sasabihin nila sa mga bundok, 'Bumagsak kayo sa amin,' at sa mga burol, 'Tabunan ninyo kami.'
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 Sapagkat kung gagawin nila ang mga bagay na ito habang ang puno ay berde, anong magyayari kapag tuyo na ito?”
[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 May iba pang dalawang lalaking na mga kriminal ang dinala kasama niya upang patayin.
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 Nang makarating sila sa lugar na kung tawagin ay Bungo, doon ay kanilang ipinako siya sa krus kasama ang mga kriminal, isa sa kaniyang kanan at isa sa kaniyang kaliwa.
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 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Ama, patawarin mo sila, sapagkat hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa.” At sila ay nagsapalaran, hinati-hati ang kaniyang kasuotan.
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 Ang mga tao ay nakatayong nanonood habang kinukutya rin siya ng mga pinuno, sinasabi, “Niligtas niya ang iba. Hayaan ninyong iligtas niya ang kaniyang sarili, kung siya nga ang Cristo ng Diyos, ang hinirang.”
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 Pinagtawanan din siya ng mga kawal, lumalapit sa kaniya, inaalukan siya ng suka,
The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
37 at sinasabi, “Kung ikaw ang Hari ng mga Judio, iligtas mo ang iyong sarili.”
They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 Mayroon ding isang karatula sa itaas niya, “ITO ANG HARI NG MGA JUDIO.”
[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 Nilait siya ng isa sa mga kriminal na nakapako sa krus, sinasabi, “Hindi ba ikaw ang Cristo? Iligtas mo ang iyong sarili at kami.”
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 Ngunit sumagot ang isa, sinaway siya at sinabi, “Hindi ka ba natatakot sa Diyos, sapagkat ikaw ay nasa ilalim ng parehong parusa?
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 Nararapat lang na narito tayo, sapagkat tinatanggap natin ang nararapat sa ating mga ginawa. Ngunit ang taong ito ay walang ginawang mali.”
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 At dagdag pa niya, “Jesus, alalahanin mo ako pagdating mo sa iyong kaharian.”
Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
43 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Tunay ngang sinasabi ko sa iyo, sa araw na ito, ikaw ay makakasama ko sa paraiso.”
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 Nang pasapit na ang Ika-anim na oras, nagdilim sa buong lupain hanggang sa ika-siyam na oras
[Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
45 habang nagdidilim ang araw. Pagkatapos, nahati sa gitna ang kurtina ng templo.
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 At si Jesus, na may malakas na tinig ay nagsabi, “Ama, ipinagkakatiwala ko ang aking espiritu sa iyong mga kamay.” Pagkasabi niya nito, siya ay namatay.
[As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
47 Nang makita ng senturion ang nangyari, niluwalhati niya ang Diyos, sinabi, “Tunay ngang matuwid ang taong ito.”
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 Nang ang mga bagay na naganap ay nakita ng napakaraming taong sama-samang dumating upang saksihan ang pangyayaring ito, nagsi-uwian sila na dinadagukan ang kanilang mga dibdib.
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 Ngunit ang lahat ng mga kakilala niya, at ang mga babaing sumunod sa kaniya mula sa Galilea, ay nakatayo sa di-kalayuan, pinapanood ang mga bagay na ito.
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 Masdan ninyo, may isang lalaking nagngangalang Jose, na kabilang sa Konseho, isang mabuti at matuwid na tao
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 (hindi siya sumang-ayon sa kanilang pasya at sa kanilang ginawa), mula sa Arimatea, isang Judiong lungsod, na siyang naghihintay sa kaharian ng Diyos.
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 Ang taong ito ay lumapit kay Pilato, hiningi ang katawan ni Jesus.
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 Ibinababa niya ito, at binalot ito ng pinong lino, at inilagay siya sa isang libingang inukit sa bato, na hindi pa napaglilibingan.
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 Noon ay ang Araw ng Paghahanda, at nalalapit na ang Araw ng Pamamahinga.
[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 Ang mga babaing kasama niyang lumabas sa Galilea ay sumunod, at nakita ang libingan at kung paano inilagay ang kaniyang katawan.
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 Sila ay umuwi, at naghanda ng mga pabango at mga pamahid. At sa araw ng Pamamahinga, sila ay nagpahinga ayon sa kautusan.
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.
