Luka 23
1 Kipenga soti sayemi, kabampeleka Yesu nnongi ya Pilato.
Then the whole assembly rose and brought Him to Pilate, and began to accuse Him.
2 Kabatumbwa kunshutumu, kababaya, “Twankutike mundu yolo atilipotosha taifa litu, kwa kuabakiya bandu baneke kutoa kodi kwa kaisari, no baya kuwa ywembe mwene nga Kristo, Mpwalume.”
"We have found this man," they said, "an agitator among our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be himself an anointed king."
3 Pilato kannaluya, no baya, “Je wenga nga mpwalume ba Ayahudi? Ni Yesu kanyangwa no baya, “Wenga wabaya nyoo.”
Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied.
4 Pilato kammakiya kuhani nkolo ni kipenga sa bandu.”Nibona kwaa likosa lya mundu yolo.”
Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man."
5 Lakini balo batikunsisitiza, kababaya, “Abile akiachochea bandu, atikwapundisha mu'Uyahudi woti, boka Galilaya ni saa yeno abile pano.”
But they violently insisted. "He stirs up the people," they said, "throughout all Judaea with His teaching--even from Galilee (where He first started) to this city."
6 Pilato ayowine ago, kayangwa kati mundu ywoo ni a'Galilaya?
On hearing this, Pilate inquired, "Is this man a Galilaean?"
7 Pabaatangite kuwa abile pae ya utawala wa Herode, atikumpeleka Yesu kwa Herode, ywabile niywembe ywabile Yerusalemu kwa masoba ago.
And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Herode paamweni Yesu, atipulaika muno kwamana apalike kumwona kwa masoba ganansima. Ayowine habari za ywembe, ni atamaniye kubona yumo ywamuujiza wapangilwe ni ywembe.
To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed by Him.
9 Herode kannaluya Yesu kwa maneno ganansima, lakini Yesu kannyangwa kwaa chochote.
So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply.
10 Makuhani akolo pamope ni baandishi bayemi kwa ukali kabanshitaki.
Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him.
11 Herode pamope nia askari bake, kabantukana ni kun'geya, ni kummwika ngobo nzuri, boka po atikunrudisha Yesu kwa Pilato.
Then, laughing to scorn the claims of Jesus, Herod (and his soldiers with him) made sport of Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous costume, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 Herode ni Pilato babile mbwiga boka lisoba lelo, (kabla ya ago babile maadui)
And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.
13 Pilato kabakema pamope makuhani akolo ni atawala ni kipenga sa bandu,
Then calling together the High Priests and the Rulers and the people, Pilate said,
14 Kabaakokeya, “Mwaniletii mundu yoo kati mundu ywaongoza bandu bapange abaya, no linga, baada ya kuba ninnaluye nnonge yinu, nibona kwaa likosa kwa mundu yoo husu makowe gote ambago mwenga mwamshitaki ywembe.
"You have brought this man to me on a charge of corrupting the loyalty of the people. But, you see, I have examined him in your presence and have discovered in the man no ground for the accusations which you bring against him.
15 Hapana, Herode kwaa, mana ambuyanganiye kwitu, ni linga ntopo chochote chaakipangite chaastahili adhabu ya waa.
No, nor does Herod; for he has sent him back to us; and, you see, there is nothing he has done that deserves death.
16 Kwa eyo npala kumwadhibu ni kunneka.
I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
17 (Pilato atiwajibika kunneka mfungwa yuno kwa Ayahudi wakati wa sikukuu)
18 Lakini bote bakombwi lilobe lyampamo, bakibaya, “Mmulage yoo, ni kunneka Baraba!”
Then the whole multitude burst out into a shout. "Away with this man," they said, "and release Barabbas to us"
19 Baraba abile mundu ywatabilwe mu'ligereza kwa sababu ya ubou pulani nkati ya ijiji na kubulaga.
--Barabbas! who had been lodged in jail for some time in connexion with a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.
20 Pilato kaabakiya kae, atamaniye kunneka Yesu.
But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.
21 Lakini bembe bakombwi lilobe, babaya, “Mmulage, mmulage.”
They, however, persistently shouted, "Crucify, crucify him!"
22 Kabanaluya kwa mara ye itatu, “mwanja namani, mundu yoo, apangite baya lya namani? mbatike kwaa likosa lyastahili adhabu yo kiwo kwa ywembe. Kwa eyo mana niyomwile kumwadhibu nalowa kunneka.”
A third time he appealed to them: "Why, what crime has the man committed? I have discovered in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
23 Lakini kabasisitiza kwa lilobe lya kunani, baloba asulubilwe. Ni lilobe lyao lyatikunshawishi Pilato.
But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.
24 Nga nyo Pilato atiamua kuwapeya kati kabapala.
So Pilate gave judgement, yielding to their demand.
25 Kanneka yolo ywampala ywabile atabilwe kwa kupanga ghasia ni kubulaga. Lakini atikuntoa Yesu kati kabapala bembe.
The man who was lying in prison charged with riot and murder and for whom they clamoured he set free, but Jesus he gave up to be dealt with as they desired.
26 Pabannyongoli no yendya, bakwembine ni mundu yumo ywakemilwe Simoni ba Ukirene, kaboka mu'kilambo, kabampeya msalaba apotwi, kunkengama Yesu.
As soon as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenaean, who was coming in from the country, and on his shoulders they put the cross, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 Kipenga kikolo sa bandu, ni annwawa babile batihuzunika no kwomboleza kwaajili ya ywembe, babile batikunkengama.
A vast crowd of the people also followed Him, and of women who were beating their breasts and wailing for Him.
28 Lakini atikubakelebukia, Yesu no kuabakiya,'Mwannwawa ba Yerusalemu, kana mulele kwaajili yango, ila mulele kwaajili yinu bene ni kwaajili ya bana binu.
But Jesus turned towards them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Linga, masoba gaisa ambazo balowa baya, “Watibarikilwa balyo agumba ni ndumbo yange beleka, ni mabele yangenyonyesha.
For a time is coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the women who never bore children, and the breasts which have never given nourishment.'
30 Nga kabatumbwa kuikokeya itombe, “Mututombokii,'na itombe,'Itufunike.'
Then will they begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us;' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
31 Mana kati bapangite makowe aga kwa nkongo mbichi, ipalika kwaa wo'ubile nkavu?”
For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?"
32 Analome wenge, aharibifu abele, batipelekwa pamope ni ywembe ili kababulagilwe.
They brought also two others, criminals, to put them to death with Him.
33 Pabaikite mahali pakemelwage Livufu lya ntwe, nga kabansulubisha pamope ni balo aharibifu, yumo upande wa kummalyo ni ywenge upande wenge.
When they reached the place called 'The Skull,' there they nailed Him to the cross, and the criminals also, one at His right hand and one at His left.
34 Yesu kabaya, “Tate, ubasamei, kwa mana payowa kwaa bapanga namani.”Bembe bapiyite kura, kutaikulya nganju yake.
Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." And they divided His garments among them, drawing lots for them;
35 Bandu babile bayemi kabalola ni atawala kaban'geya, kababaya, “Uwalopolile benge. Nga ujilopwe wa mwene, kati wenga wa Kristo wa Nnongo, uchaulilwe.”
and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered their bitter taunts. "This fellow," they said, "saved others: let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, the Chosen One."
36 Ni akari kabandharau, kabankaribia ywembe ni kumpea siki,
And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering Him sour wine and saying,
37 kababaya, “Kati wenga wa Mpwalume ba Ayahudi jilopwe wa mwene.”
"Are you the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!"
38 Pabile ni alama nnani yake yaiyandikilwe, “AYOO NGA MPWALUME AYAHUDI.”
There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Yumo nkati ya baarifu balo basulubilwe atikuntukana kabaya, “Wenga wa Kristo kwaa? jilopwe wa mwene ni twenga”
Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him, saying, "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us."
40 Lakini yolo ywenge kayan'yangwa, atikunkemya no baya, “Je wenga wamwishimu kwaa Nnongo, ni ywembe ubile mu'hukumu yeyelo?
But the other, answering, reproved him. "Do you also not fear God," he said, "when you are actually suffering the same punishment?
41 Twenga twabile pano kwa haki, kwa mana twenga twapoki chelo twastahili kwaajili ya makowe yitu. Lakini mundu yoo apangite kwaa chochote kibaya.”
And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss."
42 Atiyongeyekeya, “Yesu nikumbuke nenga mana uyingii mu'upwalume wako.”
And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your Kingdom."
43 Yesu kaankokeya, “Amini nendakumakiya, leno walowa tama pamope ni nenga mu'Paradiso.”
"I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise."
44 Muda woo yabile karibu lisaa lya sita, libendo lyaisa nnani ya nchi yote mpaka saa yo tisa,
It was now about noon, and a darkness came over the whole country till three o'clock in the afternoon.
45 Bwee wa liumu wateyima. Boka po pazia lya mu'hekalu latipapwanika nkati boka kunani.
The sun was darkened, and the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn down the middle,
46 Kalela kwa lilobe likolo, “Tate umaboko gako nibeka roho yango,” baada yabaya nyoo, awile.
and Jesus cried out in a loud voice, and said, "Father, to Thy hands I entrust my spirit." And after uttering these words He yielded up His spirit.
47 Muda woo akida abweni galo gatendike atikuntukuza Nnongo kabaya, “Hakika ayoo abile mundu mwene haki.”
The Captain, seeing what had happened, gave glory to God, saying, "Beyond question this man was innocent."
48 Wakati woo kipenga sa bandu balo bayei mpamo shuhudia makowe gapangilwe, babuyangine kabakombwa ifua yabe.
And all the crowds that had come together to this sight, after seeing all that had occurred, returned to the city beating their breasts.
49 Lakini mbwiga bake, ni alwawa balo bankengame boka Galilaya, bayemite kwa mbale kabalola makowe ago.
But all His acquaintances, and the women who had been His followers after leaving Galilee, continued standing at a distance and looking on.
50 Linga pabile ni mundu ywakemelwa Ysufu, ywabile yumo wa baraza, mundu nzuri ni mwene haki,
There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,
51 (abile akubaliana kwaa ni maamuzi au makowe ago), boka Armathaya, ijiji sa Uyahudi, wabile utisubiri upwalume wa Nnongo.
who came from the Jewish town of Arimathaea and was awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the design or action of the Council,
52 Mundu yoo, akwembine ni Pilato, kaloba atole bwega wa Yesu.
and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 Kantombwa, ni kumwalisha sanda, ni kam'beka mu, likaburi lyabile lyatichongwa mu'liwe, lyabile ntopo mundu asikilwe nkati yake.
Then, taking it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet and laid it in a tomb in the rock, where no one else had yet been put.
54 Lyabile lisiku lya maandalizi, ni sabato yabile karibu.
It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was near at hand.
55 Alwawa, baisile nakwe boka Galilaya, batikunkengama, ni babweni likaburi ni mwanja bwega wake waugonjike.
The women--those who had come with Jesus from Galilee--followed close behind, and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
56 Kababuyangana ni tumbwa andaa manukato ni marashi. Boka po lisiku lya sabato kabapunzika lingana na saliya.
Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.
