Luk 23
1 Nyi mvnwngngv gudungto okv Jisunyi Pilot gv dookulo aagv toku.
Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
2 Hoka bunu ninyi gungnying lwkrapto “Ngo so nyi sum ngonugv nyi vdwa rimur gvdubv Dvbvyachoknyi lampu jima bvkv vla okv nw atu v Kristo, okv Dvbv gubv minsu dubv naatung pvnv.”
And they began to accuse him: “This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is ‘Christ, a King.’”
3 Pilot ninyia tvkato, “No Jius vdwgv Dvbv ngvre?” “No mingvnyibv,” Jisu mirwkto.
“Are you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “It is true,” replied Jesus.
4 Vbvrikunamv Pilot Nyibu butv vdwa okv nyipam vdwa minto, “Ngo so nyi sum rimur rinam go mapama.”
But Pilate, turning to the Chief Priests and the people, said: “I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.”
5 Vbvritola bunu tvvmabv abuyayabv minto, “Judia lo nw gv tamsar kolo nyi vdwa yalung durap moto. Nw Galili lo rirapto okv alo gvngv si rilwk dukunv.”
But they insisted: “He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.”
6 Vdwlo Pilot hum tvvpa tokudw, nw tvkato, “So nyi si Galili lokv nyi ngvre?”
Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
7 Vdwlo Pilot Jisu nyi Herod gv rigvnam mooku lokv vla chinto kudw nw Jisunyi Herod gvlo vngmuto, ho gv dw lo Herod Jerusalem lo dootato.
and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.
8 Vdwlo Herod Jisunyi kaato kudw nw achialvbv himputo, ogulvgavbolo nw Jisu gv lvga nga tvvpato okv kvvlo gv lokv ninyia achialvbv kaanwngla dooto. Nw Jisu nyi lamrwpadubv mvnam rinam go kaanvpv vla dvminla dooto.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.
9 Vkvlvgabv Herod Jisunyi achialvbv tvula tvkato, vbvritola Jisu mirwk sima toku.
So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
10 Nyibu butvnv vdwv okv Pvbv tamsarnv vdwv aanwk yayala Jisunyi achialvbv gungnying lwkto.
Meanwhile the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
11 Herod okv ninyigv sipai vdwv Jisunyi nyarjikaola mvritto; vbv mvgvrila bunu ninyi alvnv vji go pilwkto okv Pilot gvlo vngkur motoku.
And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Jesus with scorn; he mocked him by throwing a gorgeous robe round him, and then sent him back to Pilate.
12 So gv alu lokv Herod la Pilot bunyi ajin minsu toku; kvvlo bunyi anyi hv nyiru minsito.
And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
13 Pilot Nyibu butvnv vdwa, nyiga vdw, okv nyi vdwa gokkumto,
So Pilate summoned the Chief Priests, and the leading men, and the people,
14 okv bunua minto, “Nonu so nyi sum ngoogvlo aagvpv, okv nw nyi vdwa rimur gvdu vla. Vjak, okv ngo nonugv kaaku so ninyia jwngkadaka toku, okv ngo ninyia nonugv minam gungnying akoka mapa yama.
and said to them: “You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;
15 Herod ka ninyia rimur go mapa mato vkvlvga nw ninyia ngonu gvlo jikur duku. Ninyi mvkidubv rimur ako ka mapama.
nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
16 Vkvlvgabv ngo ninyi senyak pala mvrit mogvrila okv ninyi vngmu reku.”
so I shall have him scourged, and then release him.”
17 Vngbo dvmin pumja alu lori gv dwkia Pilot bunugv lvgabv patwklo tumla vnam nyi ako limu dukunv.
18 Nyipam lokv nyi mvnwngngv achialvbv gokla minto, “Ninyia mvkito! ngonugv lvgabv Barabasnyi limu toku!”
But they began to shout as one man: “Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.”
19 Barabasnyi patwk tumla vvpvto Pamtv arwnglo yalung dula gwngrw gwkunam lvgabv.
(Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
20 Pilot Jisunyi limu dukubv mvngto, vkvlvgabv nw nyipam vdwa lvko alvbv mindvto.
Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
21 Vbvritola bunu gokkorla minto, “Ninyia Daapolo takkito! Ninyia Daapolo takkito!”
but they kept calling out: “Crucify, crucify him!”
22 Pilot bunua lvom nvbv minto, “Vbvritola nw ogu rimur go ripvla? Ngo ninyia mvki dubv ogu ka rimur go mapa yama! Ngo ninyia svnyak pala mvmu gvrila okv ninyia topu reku.”
“Why, what harm has this man done?” Pilate said to them for the third time. “I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.”
23 Vbvritola bunu Jisunyi Daapo lo takki rungto ka vla bunugv gaam v gamtvyayabv gokbwngto, okv goknyung nga bunu gokjik toku.
But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
24 Vkvlvgabv Pilot bunugv mingkubv Jisunyi lvklin jitoku.
Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
25 Nw bunugv koonam nyi yvvdw yalung dukulo gwngrw gwto la patwk tumnam angaka topu jitoku, okv nw Jisunyi bunu gvlo laklwk jitoku bunugv mvngwngbv rimu dukubv vla.
He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.
26 Sipai vdwv Jisunyi vnggv toku, okv bunugv vngdungrilo, bunu Sairene lokv nyi ako aminv Saimon vnamgo mooku lokv pamtv bv aatv nvgo vngrwk sito. Bunu ninyia naatungto, Daapo nga nw gvlo joopvto, okv nw bakla Jisu kochinglo vngming gvdubv mvtoku.
And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 Okv nyi vdwv achialvbv twngtv bv ninyia vngming gvtoku; bunu lokv nyi kvgunv anvnyimv vdwv nw gv lvgabv kapnv okv dwknv vdwv.
There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
28 Jisu bunua dakrwkto okv minto, “Jerusalem gv anvnyimv vdwa! Ngo gv lvgabv kapyo ka, vbvritola nonu atugv lvgabv okv nonugv kuu vdwgv lvga bvyaka.
So Jesus turned and said to them: “Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Vkvnv alu v aariku vdwlo nyi vdwv minreku, ‘Vdwgo gamdak dukunv yvv anvnyimv vdwloka kuu dooka manv, yvvka anga bvngka manv, yvv bunua soocha manv!’
A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said — ‘Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!’
30 V alu vna vdwlo nyi vdwv moodw ditv am minre, ‘Ngonua gijap labv!’ okv dichingnv vdwa, ‘Ngonua girum labv!’
At that time people will begin to say to the mountains ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills ‘Cover us.’
31 Vdwlo singnv ngv yajila leelak rilo vbv ritv kunv, vdwlo singku bolo ogubv rirekudw?”
If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Rimurnv nyi anyi goka Jisu nyi lvkobv mvkidubv vla vnglin gvdvto.
There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
33 Vdwlo bunu “Dumku” vnam mooku gulo aalwk tokudw hoka bunu Jisunyi Daapo lo takki toku, okv rimurnv anyi aka, akonyi ninyigv lakbik tangvlo okv akonyi ninyigv lakchi tangvlo.
When they had reached the place called ‘The Skull,’ there they crucified Jesus and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left.
34 Jisu minto, “Abu! bunugv rimur a mvngnga laka, bunu chima bunu ogugo ridudw.” Bunu ninyigv vji a amin chinkala baakminsuto
Then Jesus said: “Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.” His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
35 Nyi vdwv kaadung nyato vdwlo Jius nyi ringnv vdwgv ninyi nyarjikao mvri-hoka: “Nw kvvbi ha ringdu; nw atubongv ringsu momuto nw Pwknvyarnv gv gaknam Kristo ngvbolo!”
Meanwhile the people stood looking on. Even the leading men said with a sneer: “He saved others, let him save himself, if he is God’s Christ, his Chosen One.”
36 Sipai vdwvka ninyi nyarjikao dvto: bunu nw gvlo chaato okv ninyi opo vkv jito,
The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
37 okv minto, “No Jius gv Dvbv ngvbolo no atuv ringsu laka!”
and saying as they did so: “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.”
38 Ninyigv aolo svbv lvkla vvpvto: “So si Jiu vdwgv Dvbv ngv.”
Above him were the words — ‘THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
39 Hoka daapolo takdala takpvnam nyi rimurnv akonv ninyia nyarjito: “No Kristo malare? No atuv ringsu tvka okv ngonua ka!”
One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. “Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us,” he said.
40 Kvvbi akonv ninyi yamla minto “No Pwknvyarnvnyi busu malare? Nw gv rinam apiabv no ka paadu.
But the other rebuked him. “Have not you,” he said, “any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
41 Ngonugv si rijik kv ogu lvga vbolo ngonu ogugo ripvdw um ngonu paadu; vbvritola nw ogu rimur goka rima.”
And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
42 Okv nw Jisu nyi minto, “Ngam mvngpa labvka, Jisu, vdwlo no Dvbv gubvrila aari kunyi!”
Jesus,” he went on, “do not forget me when you have come to your Kingdom.”
43 Jisu hum minto, “Ngoona milv jidunv selu gv lokv no nga lvkobv nyidomooku tolo doore.”
And Jesus answered: “I tell you, this very day you shall be with me in Paradise.”
44 Doonyi chaato bv ritoku ho doonyi v nyiku mato okv mooku mvnwngngv gumta aom go kanvla dootoku;
It was nearly mid-day, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting till three in the afternoon,
45 okv Pwknvyarnv naam gv vji rvdala vvpv namv taknyi gubv takpin suto.
the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
46 Jisu gamtv rungbv gokla kapto, “Abu! Noogv laak lo ngoogv yalu a laklwk dukunv!” Nw vla minto okv sitoku.
Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said: “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.” And with these words he expired.
47 Sipai nyigam angv ogugo ripvdw um kaatoku okv nw Pwknvyarnvnyi hartvla minto, “Jvjvbv nw alvnv nyi go!”
The Roman Captain, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming: “This must have been a good man!”
48 Vdwlo nyi vdwv hoka dookumnv vdwv ogugo ripv kudw kaanam dvdv nga kaatokula, bunu mvnwngngv naam bv vngtoku, mvngdwk laila bunugv hakwng a kisu nyato.
All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
49 Yvvbunudw Jisu nyi nyidum tungnyibv chinto kudw, anvnyimv Galili lokv ninyi vngming gvnv vdwv, adulo daktola kaaria nyatoku.
All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
50 Hoka Josep vnam nyi ako dooto nw Judia gv banggu, Arimatia lokv. Nw alvnv nyi go, mvngdwnam nyi go, nw Pwknvyarnv gv Karv gv aanama kaayala doonvgo. Nw kvba baanv gv nyi ako bv rijvka, nw bunugv minbwk nama okv rinam a tolwk mingv mato.
Now there was a man of the name of Joseph, who was a member of the Council, and who bore a good and upright character.
(This man had not assented to the decision and action of the Council.) He belonged to Ramah, a town in Judea, and lived in expectation of the Kingdom of God.
52 Nw Pilot gv dookulo aato okv Jisu gv svma nga kooto.
He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
53 Vbvrikunamv nw svma nga naalu toku, hum alvrungnv vji jebor v kvlap toku, okv um vlwnglo runglwknam nyibung svma lwkkw manam guloka joolwkla vvpv toku.
and, when he had taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet, and laid him in a tomb cut out of stone, in which no one had yet been buried.
54 Ho alu v Gumpualu alu bv ritoku, okv Jius doonualu hv loorap tvvtoku.
It was the Preparation Day, and just before the Sabbath began.
55 Galili lokv anvnyimv Jisu nyi vngming gvnv vdwv Josepnyi lvkobv vngtoku okv nyibung nga okv Jisugv svma ayak a oguaingbv hoka lwkpvdw hum kaatoku.
The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
56 Vbvrikunamv bunu naam bv vngkur toku okv nampunv vkv mvpvripv toku svma ayak gv lvgabv. Pvbv gv minkubv, Jius doonu alu lo bunu doonu nyatoku.
and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes.
