Luka 23
1 Afei baguafo no sɔre de Yesu kɔɔ Pilato anim.
And having risen, the whole multitude of them led Him to Pilate,
2 Wofii ase totoo nʼano se, “Saa onipa yi tu nkurɔfo aso. Ɔmpene so sɛ ɔmanfo tua tow ma Kaesare aban, na ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ ɔhene Kristo no.”
and began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this One perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying Himself to be Christ, a king.”
3 Eyi maa Pilato bisaa no se, “Wone Yudafo hene no ana?” Yesu buaa no se, “Ɛno ara na woaka no.”
And Pilate questioned Him, saying, “You are the King of the Jews?” And He answering him, said, “You say [it].”
4 Pilato ka kyerɛɛ asɔfo mpanyin ne nnipadɔm no se, “Minhu asɛm biara a megyina so abu onipa yi fɔ.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, “I find no fault in this Man”;
5 Nanso wɔn bo antɔ wɔn yam kɔɔ so kae se, “Baabiara a ɔkɔ no, ɔnam ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so hwanyan nnipa no tia aban. Ɔde ne nkyerɛkyerɛ yi fi Galilea bɛfaa Yudeaman mu nyinaa abedu Yerusalem ha.”
and they were the more urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea—having begun from Galilee—to this place.”
6 Pilato tee asɛm no, obisae se, “Onipa yi yɛ Galileani ana?”
And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the Man is a Galilean,
7 Bere a wɔka kyerɛɛ Pilato se Yesu yɛ Galileani no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, sɛ ɛte saa de a, wɔmfa no nkɔ Ɔhene Herode anim, efisɛ Galilea hyɛ nʼase. Saa bere no ara nso na Ɔhene Herode wɔ Yerusalem.
and having known that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him back to Herod, he also being in Jerusalem in those days.
8 Esiane sɛ wate Yesu ho asɛm na osusuw nso sɛ, sɛ ɔba nʼanim a, ɔbɛyɛ anwonwade akyerɛ no no nti, bere a ohuu no no, nʼani gyee yiye, efisɛ na ɔpɛe sɛ obehu no no akyɛ.
And Herod rejoiced exceedingly having seen Jesus, for he was wishing to see Him for a long [time], because of hearing many things about Him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by Him,
9 Wobisabisaa Yesu nsɛm bebree, nanso emu biara nni hɔ a oyii ano.
and was questioning Him in many words, and He answered him nothing.
10 Asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no kɔɔ so ara kaa nsɛm a enni mu guu ne so.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing Him,
11 Herode ne nʼasomfo no bɔɔ Yesu adapaa, dii ne ho fɛw. Afei Herode hyehyɛɛ no sɛ ɔhene san de no kɔmaa Pilato.
and Herod with his soldiers having set Him at nothing, and having mocked, having cast radiant apparel around Him, sent Him back to Pilate,
12 Da no ara, Herode ne Pilato a anka wɔyɛ aka no, bɔɔ mu.
and both Pilate and Herod became friends with one another on that day, for they were previously at enmity between themselves.
13 Wɔde Yesu kɔmaa Pilato no, ɔfrɛɛ asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyimfo ne nnipadɔm no,
And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14 ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mode onipa yi brɛɛ me se, ɔyɛ obi a ɔnam ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so hwanyan nnipa tia aban. Mahwehwɛ nsɛm a moka guu ne so no mu wɔ mo anim, nanso minhu afɔbusɛm biara a megyina so abu no fɔ.
said to them, “You brought this Man to me as perverting the people, and behold, I having examined [Him] before you, found no fault in this Man in those things you bring forward against Him;
15 Saa ara nso na Herode annya asɛm bi annyina so ammu no fɔ a ɛno nti, wasan de no abrɛ yɛn yi. Ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara a ɛsɛ sɛ migyina so bu no kumfɔ.
no, neither Herod, for he sent Him back to us, and behold, nothing worthy of death is having been done by Him;
16 Mɛbɔ no mmaa na magyaa no.”
having corrected, therefore, I will release Him,”
17 Twam Afahyɛ biara du a Pilato gyaa odeduani baako ma wɔn.
[[for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every celebration, ]]
18 Pilato kasa no akyi no, nnipadɔm no nyinaa bɔ gyee so se, “Kum no, na gyaa Baraba ma yɛn.”
and they cried out—the whole multitude—saying, “Away with this One, and release Barabbas to us,”
19 Baraba yi yɛ obi a ɔhwanyan ɔman na ɔsan dii awu nti, wɔde no too afiase.
who had been cast into prison, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder.
20 Pilato kɔɔ so di maa Yesu pɛɛ sɛ ogyaa no.
Pilate again then—wishing to release Jesus—called to them,
21 Nanso wɔsan bɔ gyee so bio se, “Bɔ no asennua mu! Bɔ no asennua mu!”
but they were calling out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify Him!”
22 Obisaa wɔn ne mprɛnsa so se, “Adɛn? Bɔne bɛn na wayɛ? Minhu afɔbusɛm biara a megyina so abu no kumfɔ. Mɛbɔ no mmaa na magyaa no.”
And he said to them a third time, “Why, what evil did He do? I found no cause of death in Him; having corrected Him, then, I will release [Him].”
23 Nanso wɔbɔ gyee so ara maa wɔn nne bu faa Pilato de no so se ɔmmɔ no asennua mu.
And they were pressing with loud voices asking Him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
24 Enti Pilato penee wɔn abisade no so maa wɔn.
and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
25 Ogyaa Baraba a esiane sɛ ɔhwanyan ɔman san dii awu no nti ɔde no too afiase no maa wɔn. Na ɔde Yesu maa wɔn sɛnea wɔpɛ no.
and he released him who because of sedition and murder has been cast into the prison, whom they were asking for, and he gave up Jesus to their will.
26 Wɔde Yesu rekɔ akɔbɔ no asennua mu no, wohyiaa Kireneni bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon sɛ ofi afum reba Yerusalem. Wɔkyeree no, hyɛɛ no ma ɔsoaa Yesu asennua no wɔ ne kɔn ho dii nʼakyi.
And as they led Him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put the cross on him to carry [it] behind Jesus.
27 Nnipadɔm a mmea a wɔresu retwa agyaadwo fra wɔn mu no, tu dii nʼakyi.
And a great multitude of the people were following Him, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting Him,
28 Yesu dan ne ho ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Yerusalem mmea, munnsu me na munsu mo ho ne mo mma.
and Jesus having turned to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children;
29 Na mmere bi reba a wɔbɛka se, ‘Nhyira ne abonin ne ɔyafunu a ɛnwoo da ne nufu a wonnum da.’
for behold, days come in which they will say, Blessed the barren, and wombs that did not bear, and breasts that did not give suck;
30 Saa bere no “‘na wɔbɛka akyerɛ mmepɔw se, “Munnwiriw ngu yɛn so!” ne nkoko nso se, “Monkata yɛn so!”’
then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us;
31 Na sɛ wɔde eyi yɛ me a meyɛ dummono no a, dɛn na wɔde bɛyɛ mo a moyɛ duwui?”
for if they do these things in the green tree, what may happen in the dry?”
32 Bere a wɔde Yesu rekɔ no, wɔde nnebɔneyɛfo baanu bi kaa ne ho se wonkokum wɔn.
And there were also others—two evildoers—with Him, to be put to death;
33 Woduu faako a wɔfrɛ hɔ Golgota no, wɔbɔɔ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfo baanu no asennua mu a ɔbaako wɔ ne nifa na ɔbaako nso wɔ ne benkum.
and when they came to the place that is called “[Place] of [the] Skull,” there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
34 Yesu kae se, “Agya, fa kyɛ wɔn, efisɛ wonnim nea wɔreyɛ.” Asraafo no kyekyɛɛ ne ntade mu bɔɔ so ntonto fae.
And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do”; and parting His garments they cast a lot.
35 Saa bere no na nnipadɔm no gyinagyina hɔ rehwɛ no. Yudafo mpanyimfo no dii ne ho fɛw se, “Ogyee ebinom nkwa; sɛ ose ɔno ne Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no a, onnye ne ho nkwa na yɛnhwɛ.”
And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers were also sneering with them, saying, “He saved others, let Him save Himself, if this be the Christ, the Chosen One of God.”
36 Asraafo no nso dii ne ho fɛw de nsa a ɛkeka bi brɛɛ no
And the soldiers were also mocking Him, coming near and offering vinegar to Him,
37 kae se, “Sɛ wone Yudafo hene no a gye wo ho nkwa.”
and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”
38 Wɔkyerɛw saa asɛm yi bɔɔ nʼatifi wɔ asennua no so se, “YUDAFO HENE NO NI.”
And there was also an inscription written over Him [[in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew]]: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
39 Nnebɔneyɛfo baanu a na wɔn nso wɔabɔ wɔn asennua mu no mu baako dii Yesu ho fɛw se, “Ɛnyɛ wone Kristo no? Gye wo ho na gye yɛn nso.”
And one of the evildoers who were hanged was slandering Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40 Nanso ɔdebɔneyɛni a ɔka ho no kaa nʼanim se, “Wunsuro Onyankopɔn? Hu sɛ yɛn nyinaa wɔ afɔbu koro no ara mu.
And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, that you are in the same judgment?
41 Yɛn de, saa asotwe yi fata yɛn; yɛn bɔne so akatua na yɛanya yi, na oyi de, ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara.”
And we indeed justly, for we are receiving back [things] worthy of what we did, but this One did nothing out of place”;
42 Ɔsan kae se, “Yesu, wudu wʼahenni mu a kae me.”
and he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Lord, when You may come in Your kingdom”;
43 Yesu buaa no se, “Merehyɛ wo bɔ se nnɛ wobɛka me ho wɔ Paradise.”
and Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
44 Eduu owigyinae no, asase no so nyinaa duruu sum kabii kosii nnɔnabiɛsa.
And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour,
45 Owia duruu sum na ntama a etwa asɔredan no mu nso mu tewee abien.
and the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle,
46 Yesu teɛɛ mu dennen se, “Agya, wo nsam na mede me honhom hyɛ!” Ɔkaa eyi no, ogyaa mu.
and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit”; now having said this, He breathed His last.
47 Asraafo panyin a na ogyina hɔ no huu nea asi no, oyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ se, “Ampa ara, saa onipa yi yɛ ɔtreneeni.”
And the centurion having seen what was done, glorified God, saying, “Truly this Man was righteous”;
48 Nnipa a wɔbaa hɔ bɛhwɛɛ Yesu asennuambɔ no huu sɛ wawu no, wɔde awerɛhow fii hɔ kɔe.
and all the multitudes having come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, turned back striking their breasts;
49 Saa bere no na Yesu nnamfo ne mmea bi a wodii nʼakyi fi Galilea baa no gyinagyina akyirikyiri baabi rehwɛ nea ɛrekɔ so no nyinaa.
and all His acquaintances stood far off, and women who followed Him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Yosef a ofi Arimatea a ɛwɔ Yudaman mu. Na saa ɔbarima yi yɛ onipa pa a ɔteɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim a na ɔretwɛn Onyankopɔn ahenni a ɛbɛba no.
And behold, a man, by name Joseph, being a counselor, a man good and righteous,
51 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na ɔyɛ Yudafo baguafo no mu baako de, nanso wampene gyinae a wosisii ne nea wɔyɛɛ no so.
from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the Kingdom of God, he was not consenting to their counsel and deed,
52 Ɔkɔɔ Pilato nkyɛn kɔsrɛɛ Yesu amu no.
he having gone near to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus,
53 Ɔma woyii Yesu amu no maa no, na ɔde nwera kyekyeree no de no kɔtoo ɔboda bi a obiara nnaa mu da no mu.
and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a hewn out tomb, where no one was yet laid.
54 Wosiee Yesu Fida a na Yudafo resiesie wɔn ho atwɛn Homeda no.
And it was [the] Day of Preparation, and Sabbath was approaching,
55 Wosiee amu no wiee no, mmea a wodi Yesu akyi fi Galilea no ne Yosef kɔhwɛɛ faako a wɔde no toe ne sɛnea wosiee no fae.
and the women who also have come with Him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how His body was placed,
56 Saa mmea yi san wɔn akyi kɔɔ fie kɔhwehwɛɛ nnuhuam ne ngo a wɔde besiesie Yesu amu no, nanso esiane sɛ na Homeda no adu nti wɔtenaa ase komm sɛnea Yudafo mmara kyerɛ no.
and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
