Luke 23
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
Zvino chaunga chavo chese chakasimuka, chikamutungamidza kuna Pirato.
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.”
Zvino vakatanga kumupomera, vachiti: Tawana uyu achitsausa rudzi, nekudzivisa kupa mitero kuna Kesari, achiti iye pachake ndiKristu Mambo.
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
Zvino Pirato wakamubvunza achiti: Iwe uri Mambo weVaJudha here? Ndokumupindura, akati: Unoreva iwe.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
Pirato ndokuti kuvapristi vakuru nezvaunga: Handiwani mhosva kumunhu uyu.
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
Asi vakasimbisa, vachiti: Unonyonganisa vanhu, achidzidzisa muJudhiya rese, kutanga paGarirea kusvikira pano.
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
Pirato wakati anzwa zveGarirea, akabvunza kana munhu uyu ari muGarirea.
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.
Zvino paakangoziva kuti ndeweushe hwaHerodhe, wakamutumira kuna Herodhe, iye waivawo muJerusarema pamazuva iwayo.
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.
Zvino Herodhe paakaona Jesu wakafara zvikurusa; nokuti waishuva kumuona kwenguva refu, nokuti wakange anzwa zvinhu zvizhinji pamusoro pake; uye wakatarisira kuona chimwe chiratidzo chichiitwa naye.
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
Ndokumubvunza nemashoko mazhinji; asi iye haana kumupindura chinhu.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
Zvino vapristi vakuru nevanyori vakamira vakamupomera zvine simba.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
NaHerodhe nemauto ake wakamuzvidza, nekuseka akamupfekedza nguvo refu inobwinya, akamudzosera kuna Pirato.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
Nemusi iwoyo Pirato naHerodhe vakava shamwari neshamwari; nokuti paimbova neruvengo pakati pavo.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Zvino Pirato wakati adanira pamwe vapristi vakuru nevatungamiriri nevanhu,
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.
akati kwavari: Mauisa munhu uyu kwandiri seanotsausa vanhu; zvino tarirai ini ndaongorora pamberi penyu, handina kuwana mhosva kumunhu uyu yezvinhu zvamunomupomera;
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
kwete, kunyange Herodhe; nokuti ndinokutumai kwaari; zvino tarirai, hapana chakafanira rufu chakaitwa naye.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
Naizvozvo ndichamurova ndigomusunungura.
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
Nokuti zvaiva zvakafanira kuti avasunungurire umwe pamutambo.
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
Asi vese vakadanidzira pamwe vachiti: Kure neuyu, asi mutisunungurire Bharabhasi.
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
Iye wakange akandirwa mutirongo nemhaka yerimwe bongozozo rakange raitika muguta uye neumhondi.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
Naizvozvo Pirato achida kusunungura Jesu, wakataurazve kwavari.
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
Asi vakadanidzira, vachiti: Roverera pamuchinjikwa, muroverere pamuchinjikwa!
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.”
Akati kwavari rwechitatu: Nemhaka yei, iye waita chakaipa chipi? Handina kuwana mhosva yerufu maari; naizvozvo ndichamurova ndigomusunungura.
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
Asi vakasimbisa nemanzwi makuru, vachikumbira kuti arovererwe pamuchinjikwa. Manzwi avo neevapristi vakuru akabudirira.
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
Zvino Pirato wakatema kuti chikumbiro chavo chiitike.
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.
Akavasunungurira uyo wavakakumbira, wakange akandwa mutirongo nekuda kwebongozozo neumhondi; asi akakumikidza Jesu kuchido chavo.
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.
Zvino vakati vachimutungamidza, vakabata umwe Simoni muKurini achibva kuruwa, vakamutakudza muchinjikwa, kuti atakure shure kwaJesu.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
Zvino kwakatevera kwaari chaunga chikuru chevanhu, nevakadzi vairirawo nekumuchema.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Asi Jesu wakatendeukira kwavari akati: Vakunda veJerusarema, musachemera ini, asi muzvichemere imwi nevana venyu;
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.’
nokuti tarirai, mazuva anouya avachati nawo: Dzakaropafadzwa mhanje, nezvizvaro zvisina kubereka, nemazamu asina kunwisa.
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
Ipapo vachatanga kuti kumakomo: Wirai pamusoro pedu; nekuzvikomo: Tifukidzei.
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
Nokuti kana vachiita zvinhu izvi kumuti munyoro, chii chichaitika kune wakawoma?
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
Zvino kwakatungamidzwawo vamwe vaiti vezvakaipa vaviri, kuti vaurawe pamwe naye.
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.
Zvino vakati vasvika panzvimbo inonzi Dehenya, ipapo vakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa, nevaiti vezvakaipa, umwe kuruoko rwerudyi, neumwe kuruboshwe.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
Jesu ndokuti: Baba, vakanganwirei; nokuti havazivi chavanoita. Zvino vakagovana nguvo dzake, vakakanda mujenya.
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!”
Vanhu ndokumira vakatarira. Nevatongiwo pamwe navo vakamuseka, vachiti: Wakaponesa vamwe, ngaazviponese, kana iye ari Kristu, musanangurwa waMwari.
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
Nemautowo akamuseka, achimuvigira vhiniga,
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
uye vachiti: Kana iwe uri Mambo weVaJudha, zviponese.
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Zvino kwakange kune rugwarowo rwakanyorwa pamusoro pake nemavara echiGiriki nechiRoma nechiHebheru, rwaiti: UYU NDIMAMBO WEVAJUDHA.
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
Uye umwe wevaiti vezvakaipa vakange vakaremberedzwa wakamutuka achiti: Kana iwe uri Kristu, zviponese iwe nesu.
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
Asi umwe wakapindura achimutsiura, achiti: Iwe hautyi Mwari kanhi, zvauri pakutongwa kumwe?
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
Isu zvirokwazvo zvakarurama, nokuti tinogamuchira zvakafanira zvatakaita; asi uyu haana kuita chinhu chisakafanira.
42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
Zvino akati kuna Jesu: Ishe mundirangarire kana masvika muushe hwenyu.
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri: Nhasi uchava neni muParadhiso.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Zvino rakange rava awa rinenge rechitanhatu; kukavapo rima pamusoro penyika yese, kusvikira paawa repfumbamwe.
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
Nezuva rakadzikatirwa, uye vheiri retembere rakabvarurwa nepakati.
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
Zvino Jesu wakati adanidzira nenzwi guru achiti: Baba, mumaoko enyu ndinokumikidza mweya wangu; akati areva izvozvi, akapa mweya.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
Zvino mukuru wezana wakati aona zvakaitika, akarumbidza Mwari, achiti: Zvirokwazvo munhu uyu wakange akarurama.
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
Nezvaunga zvese zvakange zvakaungana kuzoona izvozvi, zvakati zvichiona zvakaitika, zvikadzokera zvichizvirova zvifuva.
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
Nevazikanwi vake vese, nevakadzi vaimutevera vachibva Garirea, vakamira kure, vachiona zvinhu izvi.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
Zvino tarira, murume wainzi Josefa, nhengo yedare, murume wakanaka uye wakarurama;
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.
iye wakange asina kutenderana nezano nechiito chavo; waiva weArimatia, guta reVaJudha, naiyewo wakange achimirira ushe hwaMwari.
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
Iye wakaenda kuna Pirato akakukumbira mutumbi waJesu.
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.
Zvino wakauburusa, akauputira nemucheka werineni, ndokuuradzika muguva rakange rakacherwa pabwe, makange musina kumboradzikwa munhu.
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
Zvino waiva musi wegadziriro, uye sabata roswedera.
55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
Nevakadziwo, vakange vauya naye vachibva Garirea, vakatevera mumashure, vakaona guva, nokuti mutumbi wake waradzikwa sei.
56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Uye vakadzokera, vakagadzirira zvinonhuhwira nezvizoro. Zvino vakazorora nesabata zvichienderana nemurairo.
