Luka 23
1 Vat lipitin mine fita, ida nin Yesu nbun Bilatus.
And the entire multitude of them, rising up, led him 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.”
Then they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this one subverting our nation, and prohibiting giving tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.”
3 Bilatus tiringhe, a woro, “Fere Ugo na Yahudawa?” Yesu kawa ghe a woro, “Fere nbelle nani.”
And Pilate questioned him, saying: “You are the king of the Jews?” But in response, he said: “You are saying it.”
4 Bilatus woro na didya na prieste nin lipitin nanit. “Na nse unit ulele nin taanu ba.”
Then Pilate said to the leaders of the priests and to the crowds, “I find no case against 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 continued more intensely, saying: “He has stirred up the people, teaching throughout all of Judea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.”
6 Na Bilatus nlanza nani, a tirino sa unite kunan Galiliari.
But Pilate, upon hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee.
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 realized that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem in those days.
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.
Then Herod, upon seeing Jesus, was very glad. For he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard so many things about him, and he was hoping to see some kind of sign wrought by him.
9 Hirudus tirino Yesu ku uliru gbardang, amma na Yesu nkawa ghe imon ba.
Then he questioned him with many words. But he gave him no response at all.
10 Adidya na priest nin na nan ninyerte fita, nin tinana nayi nvuruzughe nliru.
And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, stood firm in persistently accusing him.
11 Hirudus nin nasoja me zognzo ghe, I kuru isu ghe liyong, inin shonghe imon icine, inin kurtuno Yesu ku udu kitin Bilatus.
Then Herod, with his soldiers, scorned him. And he ridiculed him, clothing him in a white garment. And he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Hirudus nin Bilatus waso adondon nati lilone (amma iwa tu iyita anan nivira nati).
And Herod and Pilate became friends on that day. For previously they were enemies to one another.
13 Bilatus tunna ayicila udya na priest, nin nagoo a ligozi nanite kiti kirum,
And Pilate, calling together the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, 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.
said to them: “You have brought before me this man, as one who disturbs the people. And behold, having questioned him before you, I find no case against this man, in those things about 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.
And neither did Herod. For I sent you all to him, and behold, nothing deserving of death was recorded about him.
16 Bara nani mma tighe aneo, nsunghe.”
Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”
17 Amma uwa so Bilatus ju gbas a nutun a Yahudawe ku kucin kurum kilari licin kubin idi.
Now he was required to release one person for them on the feast day.
18 Vat mine jartiza kang, I woro, “Caan nin nit ulele, I nutun nari Barabas ku!”
But the entire crowd exclaimed together, saying: “Take this one, 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.
Now he had been cast into prison because of a certain sedition that occurred in the city and for murder.
20 Bilatus kuru asu nani uliru tutung, nin su nworu a sun Yesu ku.
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus.
21 Ijaritiza I woro, “Na ikotinghe kuca, na ikotinghe kuca.”
But they shouted in response, saying: “Crucify him! 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.”
Then he said to them a third time: “Why? What evil has he done? I find no case against him for death. Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”
23 Amma ileo ubun njartiza kang, npiru nworu ikotinghe kucha. Tiwui mine ta Bilatus yinna.
But they persisted, with loud voices, in demanding that he be crucified. And their voices increased in intensity.
24 Bilatus yinna nani nin kuculu mine.
And so Pilate issued a judgment granting their petition.
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.
Then he released for them the one who had been cast into prison for murder and sedition, whom they were requesting. Yet truly, Jesus he handed over 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 were leading him away, they apprehended a certain one, Simon of Cyrene, as he was returning from the countryside. And they imposed the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
27 Ligozi nanit gbardang, nin nawani ale na iwa di tiyomme wa din dortu ghe.
Then a great crowd of people followed him, with women who were mourning and lamenting him.
28 A gbitirno kiti mine, Yesu woro, “Nishonon Urshalima, na iwa gilu meng ku ba, ama gilan atimine nin nono mine.
But Jesus, turning to them, said: “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me. Instead, weep over yourselves and over 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 will arrive in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed.’
30 Ima cizunu ubelu na kup, 'Dio nati bite,' a apara, 'Kiro nari.'
Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall over 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 with green wood, what will be done with the dry?”
32 Iwa yiru among anit naba anan likara linanzang idi molu ligowe ninghe.
Now they also led out two other criminals with him, in order to execute them.
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 arrived at the place that is called Calvary, they crucified him there, with the robbers, one to the right and the other to 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.
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do.” And truly, dividing his garments, 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 people were standing near, watching. And the leaders among them derided him, saying: “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this one is the Christ, the elect of God.”
36 Inung anan likum wang sughe liyong, ida kupo me, ina ghe nmyen migbalala,
And the soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching 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.”
Now there was also an inscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: 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 those robbers who were hanging blasphemed 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 responded by rebuking him, saying: “Do you have no fear of God, since you are under the same condemnation?
41 Kiti bite udi dert, arik din seru nduk katwa bitari. Na unit ulele na su imonmong inanzang ba.”
And indeed, it is just for us. For we are receiving what our deeds deserve. But truly, this one has done nothing wrong.”
42 A kpinaku, a woro, “Yesu, lizino nin mi asa upira kipin tigo fe.”
And he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
43 Yesu woroghe, “Kidegenere nbelin fi, uma yitu nin mi kipin tigo nighe.”
And Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with me in Paradise.”
44 Kube da susut nin nikoro kutocin, nsirti tursu kutyine vat uduru ikoro kutir
Now it was nearly the sixth hour, and a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.
45 na nkanang nwii nmala. Kusakala kutyi nlira jarta kyitik kitene utolu kadas.
And the sun was obscured. And the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46 Yesu jarta nin liwui kang ayila, a woro “Ucif, nan nya nacara fere nnakpa ulai ning.” Na a belle nani, aku.
And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” And upon saying this, he expired.
47 Na udya na nan likum akalt likure in yene imon ile isu, azazina Kutelle, a woro, “Kidegenere, ulele unan katwa kacineari nadi.”
Now, the centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God, saying, “Truly, this man was the Just One.”
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 the entire crowd of those who came together to see this spectacle also saw what had happened, and they returned, striking 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.
Now all those who knew him, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance, watching 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, who was a councilman, a good and 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.
(for he had not consented to their decision or their actions). He was from Arimathea, a city of Judea. And he was himself also anticipating the kingdom of God.
52 Unit une do kitin Bilatus, tirino kidowon Yesu.
This man approached Pilate and petitioned 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 taking him down, he wrapped him in a fine linen cloth, and he placed him in a tomb hewn from rock, in which no one had ever been placed.
54 Uwui nshiriari wadi, Assabath wa dak susut npiru.
And it was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Awane na iwa dak nanghe unuzun Galili, dofino kidung, iyene kissekke iyene imusun nonkue kidowe non.
Now the women who had come with him from Galilee, by following, saw the tomb and the manner in which his body was placed.
56 I kpilla, ida shirya nnuf kunya min tintu. Lirin Nasabbath ishino nafo ubellin duke.
And upon returning, they prepared aromatic spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the commandment.
