Luka 23
1 Vat lipitin mine fita, ida nin Yesu nbun Bilatus.
And the whole number of them arose, and led him away to Pilate.
2 I tunna nvuruzughe nliru, I woro, “Ti se unit ulele adin nanzu nmyin bite, a wantina anit uni in Kaisar ku ugandu, a din belu ame litine Kristiari, Ugo.”
And they began to accuse him, saying: We found this man turning the people away, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
3 Bilatus tiringhe, a woro, “Fere Ugo na Yahudawa?” Yesu kawa ghe a woro, “Fere nbelle nani.”
And Pilate asked him, saying: Are you the king of the Jews? He answered and said to him: You say it.
4 Bilatus woro na didya na prieste nin lipitin nanit. “Na nse unit ulele nin taanu ba.”
Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no fault in this man.
5 Amma ileo ubun nin sho nati, i woro, “Adin rusuzu anit, adin dursuzu anit nan nyan Yahudiya vat, ucizunun Galili uda duru kikane.”
But they became the more urgent, and said: He excites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 Na Bilatus nlanza nani, a tirino sa unite kunan Galiliari.
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Na ayinno adi nmyin tigon Hirudus ari, a turung Yesu ku udu kitin Hirudus, ama litine wang wadin Urshalima nayiri ane.
And when he learned that he belonged to the dominion of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was at that time in Jerusalem.
8 Na Hirudus in yene Yesu ku, ayi poo ghe, bara na dandauna nin su nworu a yeneghe. Ana lanza ubeleng me amini din piziru ayeneghe asu imon izikiki.
When Herod saw Jesus, he rejoiced greatly; for he had, for a long time, desired to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign done by him.
9 Hirudus tirino Yesu ku uliru gbardang, amma na Yesu nkawa ghe imon ba.
And he questioned him concerning many things; but he made him no answer.
10 Adidya na priest nin na nan ninyerte fita, nin tinana nayi nvuruzughe nliru.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, and vehemently accused him.
11 Hirudus nin nasoja me zognzo ghe, I kuru isu ghe liyong, inin shonghe imon icine, inin kurtuno Yesu ku udu kitin Bilatus.
But Herod and his guards treated him with contempt; and having mocked him, and put on him a gaudy robe, he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Hirudus nin Bilatus waso adondon nati lilone (amma iwa tu iyita anan nivira nati).
And on the same day, Pilate and Herod became friends to each other; for, before this, they had been at enmity the one toward the other.
13 Bilatus tunna ayicila udya na priest, nin nagoo a ligozi nanite kiti kirum,
And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 a woro nani, “Ida nayi unit ulele nafo unit ulenge na adin cinu nin nait nanzang, yeneng, meng, nbun minere ntiroghe uliru, na nse ghe nin kulapi kitene nile imon na idi uvuruzughe mun ba.
and said to them: You have brought to me this man as one that turns the people away; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found in this man no fault, with respect to the things of which you accuse him;
15 Baba, sa ame Hirudus wang, a kurtunghe udak kiti bite, yenen, na asu imong imon ilenge na iduru nworu aku ba.
nor indeed did Herod; for I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Bara nani mma tighe aneo, nsunghe.”
I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him.
17 Amma uwa so Bilatus ju gbas a nutun a Yahudawe ku kucin kurum kilari licin kubin idi.
For it was necessary that he should release to them one at the feast.
18 Vat mine jartiza kang, I woro, “Caan nin nit ulele, I nutun nari Barabas ku!”
And the whole multitude cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas.
19 Barabas unitari wadi ulenge na iwa ceo ghe licin kitene kulapi nsali dortu nliru tigo kipine nin katwa likiri.
He, for a certain seditious movement that had been made in the city, and for murder, had been thrown into prison.
20 Bilatus kuru asu nani uliru tutung, nin su nworu a sun Yesu ku.
Therefore Pilate, desiring to release Jesus, again called to them.
21 Ijaritiza I woro, “Na ikotinghe kuca, na ikotinghe kuca.”
But they answered, saying: Crucify, crucify him.
22 A woro nani tutung untat, “Iyanghari, kuyapin kulapiari unit ulele nati? Na meng see ghe nin kulapi kongo na batin ushara nkul liti me ba. Bara nani, asa nkpizoghe mma sunghe.”
He said to them the third time: Why, what evil has he done? I have found nothing in him worthy of death. I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him.
23 Amma ileo ubun njartiza kang, npiru nworu ikotinghe kucha. Tiwui mine ta Bilatus yinna.
But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed.
24 Bilatus yinna nani nin kuculu mine.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they demanded.
25 A nutuno ulenge na inung tirino nworu inutun ule na ina ceo kilari licin kitene in fizu nay nanit a umolsu nanit. Amma ana nani Yesu ku nafo usu nibinai mine.
And he released him that for a seditious movement, and for murder, had been thrown into prison, whom they demanded; but Jesus, he delivered up to their will.
26 Na inya ninghe, ikifo umong Simon unit Nkirawani, awa nuzun nan nya ntene, itina ghe kuca ndi kotunue, a dortu Yesu ku.
And as they led him away, they laid hold of Simon, a certain Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it after Jesus.
27 Ligozi nanit gbardang, nin nawani ale na iwa di tiyomme wa din dortu ghe.
And there followed him a great number of the people, and of women that bewailed and lamented him.
28 A gbitirno kiti mine, Yesu woro, “Nishonon Urshalima, na iwa gilu meng ku ba, ama gilan atimine nin nono mine.
But Jesus turned, and said to them, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Amma yenen, ayire din cinu na ima woru, 'Anan koliari awani are, nin naburi ale na ina maru ba, nin na yazin ale na amazina ba.'
For, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30 Ima cizunu ubelu na kup, 'Dio nati bite,' a apara, 'Kiro nari.'
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 Iwa su ile imone a kuce dutu kushiti, Iyaghari ma se ku wa malu kotu?”
For, if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Iwa yiru among anit naba anan likara linanzang idi molu ligowe ninghe.
And two others, who were evil-doers, were led out to be put to death with him.
33 Na iwa dak kiti kanga na idin yicu akankan nati, kitenere iwa kotunghe kucaa ligowe nin nanan likara linanzang, unit urum ncara uline a unan be ncara ngule me.
And when they came to the place called Skull, they there crucified him and the evil-doers; one on the right, and the other on the left.
34 Yesu woro, “Ucif, wesse nani alapi mine, bara na iyiru imon ile na idin sue ba.” I tunna idinja timo, I koso imon me.
And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And dividing his clothing into parts, they cast lots.
35 Anite yissina in yenju ghe a imung ago mina yita nsughe liyong, idin su, “Ana tucu among. Na atuca litine, andi amere Kristi Kutelle, unan feruwe.”
And the people stood and looked on. And the rulers, with them scoffed at him, saying: He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God.
36 Inung anan likum wang sughe liyong, ida kupo me, ina ghe nmyen migbalala,
The soldiers also derided him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 idin belu, “Andi fere uga na Yahudawe, tucu litife.”
and saying: If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.
38 I wa su imong inyerte ibana kitene litine, “ULELERE UGO NA YAHUDAWA.”
And a superscription was also written over him in Greek and in Roman and in Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Unit urum nan nya na nan likara linanzanghe na iwa kotunghe kuce, belinghe lifai, a woro, “Na fere Kristeba? Tucu litife umunu arik ku.”
And one of the evil-doers that were hanged reviled him, saying: If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.
40 Ame unan be kawa, a kwada ghe a woro, “Na udin lanzu fiu Kutelle ba, bara na ushara fe di urume nin ghe?
But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation?
41 Kiti bite udi dert, arik din seru nduk katwa bitari. Na unit ulele na su imonmong inanzang ba.”
And we justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.
42 A kpinaku, a woro, “Yesu, lizino nin mi asa upira kipin tigo fe.”
And he said to Jesus: Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Yesu woroghe, “Kidegenere nbelin fi, uma yitu nin mi kipin tigo nighe.”
And Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, to-day you shall be with me in paradise.
44 Kube da susut nin nikoro kutocin, nsirti tursu kutyine vat uduru ikoro kutir
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour.
45 na nkanang nwii nmala. Kusakala kutyi nlira jarta kyitik kitene utolu kadas.
And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Yesu jarta nin liwui kang ayila, a woro “Ucif, nan nya nacara fere nnakpa ulai ning.” Na a belle nani, aku.
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.
47 Na udya na nan likum akalt likure in yene imon ile isu, azazina Kutelle, a woro, “Kidegenere, ulele unan katwa kacineari nadi.”
When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying: Truly, this was a righteous man.
48 Na vat ligozie na iwa dak ida ti iyizi nba nimon ile na isu yene imon ile na ise, ikpilla idin fo igiri.
And all the multitudes that had come together to that sight, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting their breasts.
49 Vat na nan yiru me, nin na wani ale na ina dofin ghe unuzun Galili, yissina pit, idin yenju ni leli imone.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance looking on these things.
50 Umong unit wa diku unan lissan Yusufu, nan nya na nan kpiluzu, unit ugegeme nin katwa kacine
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor, a good and a just man;
51 (na awa yinin nin kpiluzue nin lidu longo na isu ba), unit in Arimathiya, nkan kipin na Yahudawa, ulenge na awa di nca kipin tigoo Kutelle.
(he had not given his consent to their counsel and deed; ) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he himself also waited for the kingdom of God:
52 Unit une do kitin Bilatus, tirino kidowon Yesu.
this man came to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 A toltuno kinin, a jinkpilo nin malti ulau, adi nonko nan nya kissek na ina sarsu nan nya kutala, kikanga na isa nonko umong ku ba.
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that had been hewed in rock, in which no one had yet been laid.
54 Uwui nshiriari wadi, Assabath wa dak susut npiru.
And the day was the preparation, and the sabbath was beginning.
55 Awane na iwa dak nanghe unuzun Galili, dofino kidung, iyene kissekke iyene imusun nonkue kidowe non.
And the women that had come with him from Galilee followed after and saw the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
56 I kpilla, ida shirya nnuf kunya min tintu. Lirin Nasabbath ishino nafo ubellin duke.
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointment; and they rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
