Lukas 23
1 Guero altcha cedin hayén gendetze gucia, eta eraman ceçaten hura Pilatgana.
Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
2 Eta has citecen haren accusatzen, cioitela, Eriden vkan dugu haur populuaren corrumpitzen, eta tributén Cesari emaitetic debetatzen ari dela, dioela, bera dela Christ Reguea.
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 Orduan Pilatec interroga ceçan hura, cioela, Hi aiz Iuduén Reguea? Eta harc ihardesten ceraucala, erran ceçan, Hic dioc.
“Are you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “It is true,” replied Jesus.
4 Eta erran ciecén Pilatec Sacrificadore principaley eta gendetzey, Hoguenic batre eztut erideiten guiçon hunetan.
But Pilate, turning to the Chief Priests and the people, said: “I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.”
5 Eta hec hambat gortzenago ciraden, cioitela, Mouitzen dic populua, iracasten ari dela Iudea gucian, Galilean hassiric hunadrano.
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 Eta Pilatec Galileaz minçatzen ençun çuenean, interroga ceçan, eya Galileano cenez guiçona.
Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
7 Eta eçaguturic ecen hura Herodesen iurisdictioneco cela, igor ceçan Herodesgana, hura-ere Ierusalemen cen egun hetan.
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 Eta Herodes Iesus ikussiric aleguera cedin haguitz: ecen aspaldi çuela, haren ikusteco desira çuen, ceren anhitz gauça ençuten baitzuen harçaz: eta sperança çuen cembeit signo ikussiren çuela harçaz eguiten.
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 Eta interroga ceçan anhitz hitzez: baina harc etzieçon deus ihardets.
So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
10 Eta Sacrificadore principalac eta Scribác ceuden han arrogantqui hura accusatzen çutela.
Meanwhile the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
11 Baina Herodesec bere gendearequin hura menospreciaturic, eta escarniaturic, abillamendu churi batez veztituric, harçara igor ceçan Pilatgana.
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 Eta egun hartan berean adiquisde citecen elkarren artean Pilate eta Herodes: ecen lehen etsay ciraden elkarren artean.
And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
13 Orduan Pilatec, deithuric Sacrificadore prinpalac, eta Gobernadoreac, eta populua, erran ciecén,
So Pilate summoned the Chief Priests, and the leading men, and the people,
14 Presentatu drautaçue guiçon haur populuaren nahatsale beçala: eta huná, nic çuen aitzinean interrogaturic, hoguenic batre eztut eriden guiçon hunetan, çuec accusatzen duçuenetaric:
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 Baina ez Herodesec-ere: ecen igorri vkan çaituztet harengana, eta huná, herio mereci duen gauçaric eztrauca eguin.
nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
16 Beraz gaztigatu eta, largaturen dut.
so I shall have him scourged, and then release him.”
17 Eta behar cerauen bat largatu bestán.
18 Bada iar cedin oihuz elkarrequin gendetze gucia, cioela, Ken ieçaguc haur, eta larga ieçaguc Barabbas,
But they began to shout as one man: “Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.”
19 Cein baitzén, hirian eguin içan cen cembeit mutinationegatic eta heriotzegatic presoindeguian eçarria.
(Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
20 Berriz bada Pilate minça cequién, Iesus largatu nahiz.
Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
21 Baina hec heyagoraz iarten ciraden, erraiten çutela, Crucifica eçac, crucifica eçac hori.
but they kept calling out: “Crucify, crucify him!”
22 Eta harc heren aldian erran ciecén, Baina cer gaizqui eguin du hunec? hiltzeco hoguenic eztut erideiten haur baithan: gaztigaturic beraz largaturen dut.
“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 Baina hec hertsen çutén oihu handiz requeritzen çutela, crucifica ledin: eta hayén heyagorác eta Sacrificadore principalenac renforçatzen ciraden.
But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
24 Orduan Pilatec iugea ceçan eguin lequién galde eguiten çutena.
Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
25 Eta larga ciecén mutinationeagatic eta heriotzeagatic presoindeguian eçarri içan cena, ceinen escatu içan baitziraden: eta eman ciecén Iesus, nahi lutena leguiten.
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 Eta hura eramaiten çutela, harturic Simon Cyreneano landetaric heldu cen-bat, hari crutzea gainean eçar cieçoten Iesusen ondoan eramaiteco.
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 Eta iarreiquiten çayón gendetze handia populutic eta emaztetaric, hura plaignitzen eta lamentatzen çutela.
There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
28 Baina itzuliric hetarát Iesusec erran ceçan, Ierusalemeco alabác, eztaguiçuela nigarric ene gainean: baina ceuron buruén gainean eguiçue nigar, eta çuen haourrén gainean.
So Jesus turned and said to them: “Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Ecen huná, ethorriren dirade egunac ceinétan erranen baitute, dohatsu dirade sterilac, eta engendratu eztuten sabelac, eta eredosqui eztuten vgatzac.
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 Orduan hassiren dirade erraiten mendiey, Eror çaitezte gure gainera: eta mendisquey, estal gaitzaçue.
At that time people will begin to say to the mountains ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills ‘Cover us.’
31 Ecen baldin egur hecean gauça hauc eguiten badituzte, eyharrean cer eguinen da?
If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Eta eramaiten ciraden berceric bi gaizquiguile-ere harequin hil eraciteco.
There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
33 Ethorri içan ciradenean bada Bur-heçur deitzen den lekura, han crucifica ceçaten hura, eta gaizquiguileac: bata escuinean eta bercea ezquerrean.
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 Eta Iesusec erraiten çuen, Aitá, barka iecec: ecen etzeaquie cer eguiten dutén. Guero haren abillamenduac partituric, çorte egotz ceçaten.
Then Jesus said: “Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.” His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
35 Eta populua han egoiten cen beha cegoela: eta truffatzen ciraden harçaz Gobernadoreac-ere hequin, cioitela, Berceac emparatu vkan ditu, empara beça bere burua, baldin haur bada Christ Iaincoaren elegitua.
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 Eta truffatzen ciraden harçaz gendarmesac-ere, hurbiltzen çaizcala eta vinagre presentatzen ceraucatela:
The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
37 Eta erraiten çutela, Baldin hi bahaiz Iuduén Reguea empara eçac eure buruä.
and saying as they did so: “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.”
38 Eta cen scributobat-ere haren garayan, letra Grec-ez eta Latinez eta Hebraicoz scribatua, hitz hautan, HAVR DA IVDVEN REGVEA.
Above him were the words — ‘THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
39 Eta gaizquiguile vrkatuetaric batac blasphematzen çuen hura, cioela, Baldin hi bahaiz Christ, empara eçac eure buruä eta gu.
One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. “Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us,” he said.
40 Baina ihardesten çuela berceac reprotcha ceçan hura, cioela, Ezaiz Iaincoaren berere beldur, ikussiric ecen condemnatione berean aicela?
But the other rebuked him. “Have not you,” he said, “any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
41 Eta gu behinçat iustoqui: ecen eguin ditugunén merecituac recebitzen citiagu: baina hunec eztic deus gaizquiric eguin.
And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
42 Eta erran cieçón Iesusi, Orhoit albeitendi niçaz, Iauna, ethor adinean eure resumara.
Jesus,” he went on, “do not forget me when you have come to your Kingdom.”
43 Orduan erran cieçón Iesusec, Eguiaz erraiten drauat, egun enequin içanen aicela paradisoan.
And Jesus answered: “I tell you, this very day you shall be with me in Paradise.”
44 Eta cen sey orenen inguruä, eta ilhumbe eguin cedin lur guciaren gainean bedratzi orenetarano.
It was nearly mid-day, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting till three in the afternoon,
45 Iguzquia-ere ilhund cedin, eta templeco velá erdira cedin artetic.
the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
46 Eta oihu eguinic voz handiz Iesusec dio, Aitá, hire escuetan eçarten diat neure spiritua. Eta haur erranic renda ceçan spiritua.
Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said: “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.” And with these words he expired.
47 Eta ikussiric Centenerac cer eguin içan cen, glorifica ceçan Iaincoa, cioela, Eguiazqui guiçon haur iusto cen.
The Roman Captain, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming: “This must have been a good man!”
48 Eta spectacle hartara bildu içan ciraden gendetze guciac, ikussiric eguin içan ciraden gauçác bere bulharrey ceraunstela itzultzen ciraden.
All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
49 Eta ceuden haren eçagunac guciac vrrun, eta emazte elkarrequin hari Galileatic iarreiqui içan çaizcanac, gauça hauc ikusten cituztela.
All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
50 Eta huna, Ioseph çaritzan guiçombat, conseiller, guiçon ona eta iustoa:
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.
51 (Hunec etzuen consentitu hayén conseilluan ez eguitatean) Iuduén Arimathea hirico, eta hura-ere Iaincoaren resumaren beguira cegoen:
(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 Hura ethorriric Pilatgana, esca cedin Iesusen gorputzaren.
He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
53 Eta hura erautsiric estal ceçan mihisse batez, eta eçar ceçan monument batetan cein baitzén arroca batetan ebaquia, ceinetan oraino nehor ezpaitzén eçarri içan.
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 Eta cen preparationeco eguna, eta Sabbath eguna haren ondoan heldu cen.
It was the Preparation Day, and just before the Sabbath began.
55 Eta iarreiquiric harequin Galileatic ethorri içan ciraden emaztec-ere mira ceçaten monumenta, eta nola eçarri içan cen haren gorputza.
The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
56 Guero itzuli ciradenean appresta citzaten vssainac eta vnguentuac, eta Sabbathoan reposa citecen, manamenduaren araura.
and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes.
