Lukka 23
1 Awo Olukiiko lwonna ne lusituka, ne batwala Yesu ewa Piraato.
And the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate.
2 Ne batandika okumuwawaabira nti, “Omuntu ono ajagalaza eggwanga lyaffe, ng’atuziyiza okuwa Kayisaali omusolo, nga yeeyita Kristo, kabaka.”
And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.
3 Piraato kwe kubuuza Yesu nti, “Ggwe kabaka w’Abayudaaya?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe okyogedde.”
And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.
4 Awo Piraato n’akyukira bakabona abakulu n’ekibiina ky’abantu n’abagamba nti, “Siraba musango muntu ono gw’azizza.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man.
5 Naye ne beeyongera okulumiriza nga bagamba nti, “Asasamazza abantu n’okuyigiriza kwe mu Buyudaaya mwonna. Yatandikira Ggaliraaya okutuukira ddala ne wano!”
But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 Piraato bwe yawulira ebyo kwe kubuuza nti, “Omuntu ono Mugaliraaya?”
But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?
7 Bwe yategeera nga Yesu Mugaliraaya, n’amuweereza eri Kerode, kubanga Ggaliraaya kyali kifugibwa Kerode, ate nga Kerode mu kiseera ekyo yali ali mu Yerusaalemi.
And when he understood that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem, in those days.
8 Awo Kerode bwe yalaba Yesu, n’asanyuka nnyo, kubanga yali atutte ekiseera kiwanvu ng’ayagala okulaba Yesu. Era okuva ku ebyo bye yali amuwuliddeko yasuubira ng’ajja kumulaba ng’akolayo ekyamagero.
And Herod, seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.
9 N’amubuuza ebibuuzo bingi, naye Yesu n’atamuddamu.
And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing.
10 Mu kiseera ekyo, bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka baali awo mu busungu obungi ne baleekaanira waggulu nga bamulumiriza.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him.
11 Kerode n’abaserikale be ne batandika okuduulira Yesu, n’okumuvuma. Ne bamwambaza ekyambalo ekinekaaneka, ne bamuzzaayo ewa Piraato.
And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.
12 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, Kerode ne Piraato, abaali bakyawaganye, ne bafuuka ba mukwano.
And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.
13 Awo Piraato n’akuŋŋaanya bakabona abakulu, n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, n’abantu,
And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14 n’abagamba nti, “Mwandeetedde omuntu ono nga mumuwawaabira nti asasamaza abantu bajeeme. Mubuuzizza nnyo era ne neetegereza bulungi ensonga eyo nga nammwe we muli, naye ne nsanga nga talina musango ku ebyo bye mumuwawaabidde.
Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.
15 Ne Kerode naye tamulabyeko musango era kyavudde amukomyawo gye tuli. Omuntu ono talina ky’akoze kimusaanyiza kibonerezo kya kufa.
No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16 Noolwekyo ŋŋenda mukangavvulamu, ndyoke mmusumulule.”
I will chastise him therefore, and release him.
17 Ku buli mbaga ya Kuyitako, Piraato ng’ateekwa okubateera omusibe omu.
Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.
18 Ekibiina kyonna ne kireekaana nnyo nti, “Oyo mutte! Otuteere Balaba.”
But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 Balaba ono yali asibiddwa lwa kukulembera kasasamalo mu kibuga, era n’olw’obutemu.
Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison.
20 Piraato olw’okwagala okusumulula Yesu, n’ayongera okwogera nabo.
And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.
21 Naye ne beeyongera okuleekaana nti, “Mukomerere ku musaalaba! Mukomerere ku musaalaba!”
But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, crucify him.
22 Piraato n’ayogera nabo omulundi ogwokusatu nti, “Lwaki? Azzizza musango ki? Sirabye nsonga yonna emusaanyiza kibonerezo kya kufa. Noolwekyo ka mmukangavvule, ndyoke mmusumulule.”
And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go.
23 Naye ne beeyongera nnyo okuleekaana, n’okuwowoggana nga baagala Yesu akomererwe ku musaalaba. Era okuleekaana kwabwe ne kuwangula.
But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices prevailed.
24 Awo Piraato n’akola nga bwe baayagala.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25 N’asumulula Balaba, gwe baasaba eyali asibiddwa olw’okusasamaza abantu n’olw’obutemu. Naye n’abakwasa Yesu bagende bamukole nga bwe baagala.
And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
26 Awo ne bafulumya Yesu okumutwala okumukomerera. Bwe baali bamutwala ne basanga omusajja Omukuleene erinnya lye Simooni, yali ava mu kyalo nga yaakayingira mu kibuga, ne bamuwaliriza okusitula omusaalaba gwa Yesu ku kibegabega kye; n’agusitula n’agutwala ng’atambulira emabega wa Yesu.
And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
27 Ekibiina kinene ne bagoberera Yesu nga mwe muli n’abakazi abaali bamukaabira nga bwe bakuba ebiwoobe.
And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.
28 Naye Yesu n’abakyukira n’abagamba nti, “Abawala ba Yerusaalemi, temukaabira Nze, wabula mwekaabire era mukaabire n’abaana bammwe.
But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Kubanga ekiseera kijja abakazi abatalina baana lwe baliyitibwa ab’omukisa ddala.
For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck.
30 “‘Baligamba ensozi nti, “Mutugweko,” n’obusozi nti, “Mutuziike.”’
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us; and to the hills: Cover us.
31 Kale, obanga bino babikola ku muti omubisi, naye ku mukalu kiriba kitya?”
For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Waaliwo n’abasajja abalala babiri, bombi nga bamenyi ba mateeka, abaatwalibwa ne Yesu okuttibwa.
And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.
33 Awo bwe baatuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Ekiwanga, ne bamukomerera awo ku musaalaba, awamu n’abamenyi b’amateeka, omu ku ludda lwa Yesu olwa ddyo n’omulala ku ludda olwa kkono.
And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there; and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Yesu n’agamba nti, “Kitange, basonyiwe, kubanga kye bakola tebakimanyi.” Awo abaserikale ne bagabana ebyambalo bye nga babikubira akalulu.
And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.
35 Ekibiina ne kimutunuulira. Abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bamusekerera nga bagamba nti, “Yalokolanga balala, ka tulabe naye bwe yeerokola, obanga ye Kristo wa Katonda Omulonde we.”
And the people stood beholding, and the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God.
36 N’abaserikale nabo ne bamuduulira ne bamuwa wayini omukaatuufu,
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 nga bagamba nti, “Obanga ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya, weerokole!”
And saying: If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Waggulu w’omutwe gwa Yesu ku musaalaba kwateekebwako ekiwandiiko mu bigambo bino nti, Ono ye Kabaka w’Abayudaaya.
And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Omu ku bamenyi b’amateeka abaakomererwa naye n’avuma Yesu ng’agamba nti, “Si ggwe Masiya? Kale weerokole era naffe otulokole.”
And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 Naye munne bwe baakomererwa n’amunenya, n’amugamba nti, “N’okutya totya Katonda, nga naawe oli ku kibonerezo kye kimu kya kufa?
But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?
41 Ffe tuvunaaniddwa bya nsonga, kubanga ebikolwa byaffe bitusaanyiza kino. Naye ono talina kisobyo kyonna ky’akoze.”
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil.
42 N’alyoka agamba nti, “Yesu, onzijukiranga bw’olijja mu bwakabaka bwo.”
And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
43 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ddala ddala nkugamba nti olwa leero ojja kubeera nange mu Lusuku lwa Katonda.”
And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
44 Awo obudde bwe bwatuuka essaawa omukaaga ez’omu ttuntu, enzikiza n’ekwata ku nsi yonna, okutuusa ku ssaawa ey’omwenda,
And it was almost the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 kubanga enjuba yalekeraawo okwaka. Amangwago eggigi ly’omu Yeekaalu ne liyulikamu wabiri.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Awo Yesu n’ayogerera waggulu n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba nti, “Kitange, nteeka omwoyo gwange mu mikono gyo.” Bwe yamala okwogera ebigambo ebyo, n’afa.
And Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.
47 Omuserikale Omuruumi omukulu w’ekitongole eyakulembera abaserikale abaakomerera Yesu, bwe yalaba ebibaddewo, n’atendereza Katonda ng’agamba nti, “Mazima omuntu ono abadde mutuukirivu.”
Now the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.
48 Abantu bonna abaali bazze okwerolera, bwe baalaba ebibaddewo ne baddayo ewaabwe nga beekuba mu kifuba nga bajjudde ennaku nnyingi.
And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned striking their breasts.
49 Mikwano gya Yesu, awamu n’abakazi abajja naye nga bamugoberera okuviira ddala e Ggaliraaya, baali bayimiridde nga beesuddeko akabanga, nga batunuulira byonna ebibaddewo.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 Laba waaliwo omusajja erinnya lye Yusufu, ng’atuula mu Lukiiko Olukulu olw’Abayudaaya, yali musajja mulungi era nga mutuukirivu,
And behold there was a man named Joseph, who was a counsellor, a good and just man,
51 teyakkirizaganya na banne mu ebyo bye baasalawo ku Yesu ne bye baakola. Yali wa mu kibuga Alimasaya eky’omu Buyudaaya. Yali ng’alindirira n’essuubi ddene okulaba obwakabaka bwa Katonda.
(The same had not consented to their counsel and doings; ) of Arimathea, a city of Judea; who also himself looked for the kingdom of God.
52 Omusajja ono n’agenda eri Piraato n’asabayo omulambo gwa Yesu.
This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 Bwe yaguggya ku musaalaba, n’aguzinga mu lugoye lwa linena olweru ennyo, n’agugalamiza mu ntaana ey’empuku eyali etemeddwa mu lwazi, era nga teziikibwangamu muntu.
And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid.
54 Bino byonna byaliwo ku Lwakutaano, olunaku olw’okweteekerateekerako ng’enkeera ye Ssabbiiti.
And it was the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on.
55 Omulambo gwa Yesu bwe gwali gutwalibwa mu ntaana, abakazi abaava e Ggaliraaya ne bagoberera nga bavaako emabega, ne balaba entaana n’omulambo gwe nga bwe gwagalamizibwamu.
And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
56 Ne balyoka baddayo eka ne bategeka ebyakaloosa n’amafuta ag’okusiiga omulambo gwa Yesu. Naye ne bawummula ku Ssabbiiti ng’etteeka bwe liragira.
And returning, they prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath day they rested, according to the commandment.
