Luka 23
1 Vat lipitin mine fita, ida nin Yesu nbun Bilatus.
And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.
2 I tunna nvuruzughe nliru, I woro, “Ti se unit ulele adin nanzu nmyin bite, a wantina anit uni in Kaisar ku ugandu, a din belu ame litine Kristiari, Ugo.”
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.
3 Bilatus tiringhe, a woro, “Fere Ugo na Yahudawa?” Yesu kawa ghe a woro, “Fere nbelle nani.”
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.
4 Bilatus woro na didya na prieste nin lipitin nanit. “Na nse unit ulele nin taanu ba.”
And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.
5 Amma ileo ubun nin sho nati, i woro, “Adin rusuzu anit, adin dursuzu anit nan nyan Yahudiya vat, ucizunun Galili uda duru kikane.”
But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.
6 Na Bilatus nlanza nani, a tirino sa unite kunan Galiliari.
But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.
7 Na ayinno adi nmyin tigon Hirudus ari, a turung Yesu ku udu kitin Hirudus, ama litine wang wadin Urshalima nayiri ane.
And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.
8 Na Hirudus in yene Yesu ku, ayi poo ghe, bara na dandauna nin su nworu a yeneghe. Ana lanza ubeleng me amini din piziru ayeneghe asu imon izikiki.
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 Hirudus tirino Yesu ku uliru gbardang, amma na Yesu nkawa ghe imon ba.
And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10 Adidya na priest nin na nan ninyerte fita, nin tinana nayi nvuruzughe nliru.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Hirudus nin nasoja me zognzo ghe, I kuru isu ghe liyong, inin shonghe imon icine, inin kurtuno Yesu ku udu kitin Bilatus.
And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.
12 Hirudus nin Bilatus waso adondon nati lilone (amma iwa tu iyita anan nivira nati).
And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 Bilatus tunna ayicila udya na priest, nin nagoo a ligozi nanite kiti kirum,
And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 a woro nani, “Ida nayi unit ulele nafo unit ulenge na adin cinu nin nait nanzang, yeneng, meng, nbun minere ntiroghe uliru, na nse ghe nin kulapi kitene nile imon na idi uvuruzughe mun ba.
and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
15 Baba, sa ame Hirudus wang, a kurtunghe udak kiti bite, yenen, na asu imong imon ilenge na iduru nworu aku ba.
no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.
16 Bara nani mma tighe aneo, nsunghe.”
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 Amma uwa so Bilatus ju gbas a nutun a Yahudawe ku kucin kurum kilari licin kubin idi.
18 Vat mine jartiza kang, I woro, “Caan nin nit ulele, I nutun nari Barabas ku!”
But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: —
19 Barabas unitari wadi ulenge na iwa ceo ghe licin kitene kulapi nsali dortu nliru tigo kipine nin katwa likiri.
one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.
20 Bilatus kuru asu nani uliru tutung, nin su nworu a sun Yesu ku.
And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;
21 Ijaritiza I woro, “Na ikotinghe kuca, na ikotinghe kuca.”
but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
22 A woro nani tutung untat, “Iyanghari, kuyapin kulapiari unit ulele nati? Na meng see ghe nin kulapi kongo na batin ushara nkul liti me ba. Bara nani, asa nkpizoghe mma sunghe.”
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.
23 Amma ileo ubun njartiza kang, npiru nworu ikotinghe kucha. Tiwui mine ta Bilatus yinna.
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
24 Bilatus yinna nani nin kuculu mine.
And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.
25 A nutuno ulenge na inung tirino nworu inutun ule na ina ceo kilari licin kitene in fizu nay nanit a umolsu nanit. Amma ana nani Yesu ku nafo usu nibinai mine.
And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
26 Na inya ninghe, ikifo umong Simon unit Nkirawani, awa nuzun nan nya ntene, itina ghe kuca ndi kotunue, a dortu Yesu ku.
And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.
27 Ligozi nanit gbardang, nin nawani ale na iwa di tiyomme wa din dortu ghe.
And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.
28 A gbitirno kiti mine, Yesu woro, “Nishonon Urshalima, na iwa gilu meng ku ba, ama gilan atimine nin nono mine.
But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Amma yenen, ayire din cinu na ima woru, 'Anan koliari awani are, nin naburi ale na ina maru ba, nin na yazin ale na amazina ba.'
For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30 Ima cizunu ubelu na kup, 'Dio nati bite,' a apara, 'Kiro nari.'
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 Iwa su ile imone a kuce dutu kushiti, Iyaghari ma se ku wa malu kotu?”
For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Iwa yiru among anit naba anan likara linanzang idi molu ligowe ninghe.
And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 Na iwa dak kiti kanga na idin yicu akankan nati, kitenere iwa kotunghe kucaa ligowe nin nanan likara linanzang, unit urum ncara uline a unan be ncara ngule me.
And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
34 Yesu woro, “Ucif, wesse nani alapi mine, bara na iyiru imon ile na idin sue ba.” I tunna idinja timo, I koso imon me.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.
35 Anite yissina in yenju ghe a imung ago mina yita nsughe liyong, idin su, “Ana tucu among. Na atuca litine, andi amere Kristi Kutelle, unan feruwe.”
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.
36 Inung anan likum wang sughe liyong, ida kupo me, ina ghe nmyen migbalala,
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,
37 idin belu, “Andi fere uga na Yahudawe, tucu litife.”
and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 I wa su imong inyerte ibana kitene litine, “ULELERE UGO NA YAHUDAWA.”
And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Unit urum nan nya na nan likara linanzanghe na iwa kotunghe kuce, belinghe lifai, a woro, “Na fere Kristeba? Tucu litife umunu arik ku.”
And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.
40 Ame unan be kawa, a kwada ghe a woro, “Na udin lanzu fiu Kutelle ba, bara na ushara fe di urume nin ghe?
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 Kiti bite udi dert, arik din seru nduk katwa bitari. Na unit ulele na su imonmong inanzang ba.”
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 A kpinaku, a woro, “Yesu, lizino nin mi asa upira kipin tigo fe.”
And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Yesu woroghe, “Kidegenere nbelin fi, uma yitu nin mi kipin tigo nighe.”
And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 Kube da susut nin nikoro kutocin, nsirti tursu kutyine vat uduru ikoro kutir
And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,
45 na nkanang nwii nmala. Kusakala kutyi nlira jarta kyitik kitene utolu kadas.
the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Yesu jarta nin liwui kang ayila, a woro “Ucif, nan nya nacara fere nnakpa ulai ning.” Na a belle nani, aku.
And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.
47 Na udya na nan likum akalt likure in yene imon ile isu, azazina Kutelle, a woro, “Kidegenere, ulele unan katwa kacineari nadi.”
And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
48 Na vat ligozie na iwa dak ida ti iyizi nba nimon ile na isu yene imon ile na ise, ikpilla idin fo igiri.
And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.
49 Vat na nan yiru me, nin na wani ale na ina dofin ghe unuzun Galili, yissina pit, idin yenju ni leli imone.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.
50 Umong unit wa diku unan lissan Yusufu, nan nya na nan kpiluzu, unit ugegeme nin katwa kacine
And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man
51 (na awa yinin nin kpiluzue nin lidu longo na isu ba), unit in Arimathiya, nkan kipin na Yahudawa, ulenge na awa di nca kipin tigoo Kutelle.
(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), [a man] of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:
52 Unit une do kitin Bilatus, tirino kidowon Yesu.
this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 A toltuno kinin, a jinkpilo nin malti ulau, adi nonko nan nya kissek na ina sarsu nan nya kutala, kikanga na isa nonko umong ku ba.
And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.
54 Uwui nshiriari wadi, Assabath wa dak susut npiru.
And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 Awane na iwa dak nanghe unuzun Galili, dofino kidung, iyene kissekke iyene imusun nonkue kidowe non.
And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.
56 I kpilla, ida shirya nnuf kunya min tintu. Lirin Nasabbath ishino nafo ubellin duke.
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
