Luke 23
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
Mme Lekgotla lotlhe la tseela Jesu kwa go Pilatwe wa molaodi.
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
Mme ba simolola go mmaya molato ba re: “Motho yo o ntse a timetsa batho ba rona ka go ba raya a re ba se ka ba ntshetsa mmuso wa Seroma makgetho ebile o ipitsa gore ke Mesia wa rona, Kgosi.”
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
Mme Pilatwe a mmotsa a re, “A o Mesia wa bone, Kgosi ya bone?” Jesu a fetola a re, “Ee, ke jaaka o bua.”
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
Mme Pilatwe a retologela kwa baperesiting ba bagolo le kwa lesomong la batho a re, “Moo ga se molato!”
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
Ba kgobega marapo ba re, “Mme o tsosa dipheretlhego kgatlhanong le mmuso gongwe le gongwe kwa o yang teng, mo Judea otlhe, go tswa Galalea, go ya Jerusalema!”
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
Pilatwe a botsa a re, “A ke Moga lalea?”
7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
Mme ya re ba dumela, Pilatwe a re ba mo ise kwa go Kgosi Herode, gonne Galalea o ne a le ka fa tlase ga taolo ya ga Herode, mme Herode o ne a le mo Jerusalema ka lobaka loo.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
Herode o ne a itumelela sebaka seo sa go bona Jesu, gonne o ne a mo utlwaletse thata mme a solofetse go bona a dira kgakgamatso.
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
A botsa Jesu dipotso ka go latelana, mme a se ka a fetola.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
Mme ya re ka lobakanyana loo, baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba tumelo ba goa ba eme foo ba mmaya molato.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
Mme Herode le masole a gagwe ba simolola go sotla Jesu ba mo tshega; ba mo apesa seaparo sa segosi, ba mmusetsa kwa go Pilatwe.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
Mme ya re letsatsi leo Herode le Pilatwe ba ba kileng ba ne ba tlhoane pele, ba nna ditsala tse dikgolo.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Mme Pilatwe a phutha baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuta le batho,
14 and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
a bolela mogopolo wa gagwe a re, “Lo ntereditse monna yo, lo mmaya molato ka go tsosa khuduego kgatlhanong le mmuso wa Se-Roma. Mme ke mo tlhatlhobile sentle mo ntlheng e mme ga ke mmone molato ope.
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
Herode le ene o mmuseditse kwano go rona, a sa mmona molato o o tshwanetseng loso.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
Jalo ke tlaa mo kgwathisa ka thupa e e mitlwa, ke bo ke mo golola.”
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
Mme modumo o mogolo wa tsoga mo bathong ka lentswe le le lengwe ba re, “Mmolaye, o re gololele Barabase!”
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
(Barabase o ne a le mo kgolegelong ka ntlha ya go simolola dipheretlhego mo Jerusalema kgatlhanong le mmuso le go bolaya batho).
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
Mme Pilatwe a ganetsanya nabo, gonne o ne a batla go golola Jesu.
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
Mme ba goa ba re, “Mmapole! Mmapole!”
22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
A bo a bua le bone la boraro a kopa a re, “Ka ntlha yang? O dirile molato ofe? Ga ke a bona lebaka lepe la go mo atlholela loso. Mme ke tlaa mo kgwathisa ke bo ke mo lesa a tsamaya.”
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
Mme ba goela kwa godimodimo gore Jesu a bapolwe, mantswe a bone a bo a fenya.
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
Mme Pilatwe a atlholela Jesu loso jaaka ba lopile.
25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
Mme a golola Barabase, ka fa kopong ya bone, monna yo o neng a tshwaretswe go feretlha le go bolaya batho. Mme Pilatwe a ba neela Jesu gore ba mo dire ka fa ba ratang ka teng.
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
Mme ya re bontsi jwa batho bo isa Jesu kwa o neng a ya go bolaelwa teng, ba bona Simone wa Mokurene yo e neng e le gone a gorogang mo Jerusalema a tswa kwa dikgaolong, mme ba mo pateletsa go ba sala morago, a sikere mokgoro wa ga Jesu.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
Bontsintsijwa batho jwa mo sala morago, le basadi ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba mo lelela ka kutlobotlhoko.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Mme Jesu a retologa a ba raya a re, “Bomorwadia Jerusalema, se nteleleng, iteleleng lo bo lo lelele bana ba lona.
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
Gonne malatsi a e tla, a basadi ba ba senang bana ba tlaa bidiwang ba ba sego tota.
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
Batho ba tlaa lopa dithaba gore di ba wele di ba sugakanye le maje gore a ba khurumetse.
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
Gonne fa dilo tse di ntseng jaana di dirwa mo go nna Setlhare sa Botshelo, lona ba tlaa lo dira jang?”
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
Dinokwane tse pedi di ne tsa tlisiwa go ya go bolawa nae kwa lefelong le le bidiwang “Logata.” Ka boraro jwa bone ba bapolwa, Jesu a le mo mokgorong o o fa gare, dinokwane tse pedi di le mo ditlhakoreng.
33 When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
Mme Jesu a re, “Rara, itshwarele batho ba, gonne ga ba itse se ba se dirang.” Mme masole a kgaogana diaparo tsa gagwe ba di laola ka bola.
35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
Batho ba lebelela. Mme Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba sotla. Ba re, “O ne a siame thata go thusa ba bangwe, a re mmoneng a ipoloka fa e le gore ke ene tota yo o tlhophilweng ke Modimo go nna Mesia.”
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
Mme masole le one a mo sotla ka go mo nosa seno se se botlha sa mofine.
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
Mme ba mo tlhaeletsa ba re, “Fa o le kgosi ya Bajuta, ipoloke!”
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Kitsiso ya pegwa mo mokgorong fa godimo ga gagwe ka mafoko a, “Yo ke Kgosi ya Bajuta.”
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
Mongwe wa dinokwane yo o neng a pegilwe go bapa nae a sotla a re, “Wa re o Mesia, a ga o ene? Itshupe ka go ipoloka le rona o re boloke.”
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
Mme senokwane se sengwe sa re, “A le Modimo ga o o boife, le fa o o swa? Re tshwanetse go swa ka ntlha ya ditiro tsa rona tse di bosula, mme monna yo ga a a dira sepe se se molato.”
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
Mme a re, “Jesu, o nkgopole fa o tsena mo Bogosing jwa gago!”
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, Tsatsi jeno o tlaa nna le nna kwa Paradaiseng ke go solofetsa ka boammaaruri.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Mme ya bo e setse e le motshegare wa sethoboloko; ga nna lefifi mo lefatshing lotlhe selekanyo sa oura tse tharo, go fitlha ka nako ya boraro.
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
Letsatsi la fifala, mme ka tshoganetso sesiro sa Tempele sa gagoga ka bogare.
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
Mme Jesu a goa a re, “Rara, ke go neela mowa wa me.” Mme ka mafoko ao a swa.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
Ya re molaodi wa masole a Se-Roma yo o neng a laola polao ya bone a bona se se diragetseng, a tlelwa ke poifo fa pele ga Modimo a re, “Ruri monna yo o ne a sena molato.”
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
Mme ya re bontsintsi jwa batho ba ba neng ba tsile go bona papolo ba bona Jesu a sule, ba boela magaeng ka kutlobotlhoko e kgolo.
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
Mme ya re barutwa ba gagwe ba bona se se tla tlogang se direga ba goa ba re “Morena, a re ka lwa re tsile le dichaka.”
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
Mme monna mongwe yo o bidiwang Josefa, leloko la Kgotla Kgolo ya Sejuta, wa motse wa Arimathea mo Judea, a ya kwa go Pilatwe a mo kopa setopo sa ga Jesu. E ne e le monna yo o boifang Modimo yo o neng a ntse a lebeletse go tla ga Mesia ebile o ne a ise a ke a dumalane le maikaelelo le dikgato tsa baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuta.
51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
53 He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
Mme a folosa mmele wa ga Jesu a o phuthela ka letsela le le leele la lene mme a o baya mo lebitleng le lesha le le iseng le ke le dirisiwe, [le gabilwe mo lefikeng mo mhapheng wa thaba].
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
Mo go ne ga diragala ka Labotlhano mo tshokologong ka letsatsi la iketleetso ya Sabata.
55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
Mme ya re setopo se tsewa, basadi ba ba neng ba tswa Galalea ba se sala morago, ba se bona se tsenngwa mo phupung.
56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Mme ba ya magaeng go ya go baakanya malao le ditlolo go dibela setopo; mme ya re ba fetsa ga bo go le Sabata. Hong ba itapolosa letsatsi leo lotlhe ka fa molaong wa Sejuta.
