Luka 23
1 Vat lipitin mine fita, ida nin Yesu nbun Bilatus.
Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to 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 subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”
3 Bilatus tiringhe, a woro, “Fere Ugo na Yahudawa?” Yesu kawa ghe a woro, “Fere nbelle nani.”
So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 Bilatus woro na didya na prieste nin lipitin nanit. “Na nse unit ulele nin taanu ba.”
Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against 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 kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
6 Na Bilatus nlanza nani, a tirino sa unite kunan Galiliari.
When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Na ayinno adi nmyin tigon Hirudus ari, a turung Yesu ku udu kitin Hirudus, ama litine wang wadin Urshalima nayiri ane.
And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.
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.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.
9 Hirudus tirino Yesu ku uliru gbardang, amma na Yesu nkawa ghe imon ba.
Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.
10 Adidya na priest nin na nan ninyerte fita, nin tinana nayi nvuruzughe nliru.
Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, 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 even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.
12 Hirudus nin Bilatus waso adondon nati lilone (amma iwa tu iyita anan nivira nati).
That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
13 Bilatus tunna ayicila udya na priest, nin nagoo a ligozi nanite kiti kirum,
Then Pilate called together the chief priests, 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 to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
15 Baba, sa ame Hirudus wang, a kurtunghe udak kiti bite, yenen, na asu imong imon ilenge na iduru nworu aku ba.
Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
16 Bara nani mma tighe aneo, nsunghe.”
Therefore I will punish 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 all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
19 Barabas unitari wadi ulenge na iwa ceo ghe licin kitene kulapi nsali dortu nliru tigo kipine nin katwa likiri.
(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 Bilatus kuru asu nani uliru tutung, nin su nworu a sun Yesu ku.
Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
21 Ijaritiza I woro, “Na ikotinghe kuca, na ikotinghe kuca.”
but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! 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.”
A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”
23 Amma ileo ubun njartiza kang, npiru nworu ikotinghe kucha. Tiwui mine ta Bilatus yinna.
But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.
24 Bilatus yinna nani nin kuculu mine.
So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.
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.
As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over 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.
As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.
27 Ligozi nanit gbardang, nin nawani ale na iwa di tiyomme wa din dortu ghe.
A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
28 A gbitirno kiti mine, Yesu woro, “Nishonon Urshalima, na iwa gilu meng ku ba, ama gilan atimine nin nono mine.
But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep 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.'
Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
30 Ima cizunu ubelu na kup, 'Dio nati bite,' a apara, 'Kiro nari.'
At that time ‘they will 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 men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Iwa yiru among anit naba anan likara linanzang idi molu ligowe ninghe.
Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
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.
When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His 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.
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting 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.”
The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
36 Inung anan likum wang sughe liyong, ida kupo me, ina ghe nmyen migbalala,
The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.
37 idin belu, “Andi fere uga na Yahudawe, tucu litife.”
“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”
38 I wa su imong inyerte ibana kitene litine, “ULELERE UGO NA YAHUDAWA.”
Above Him was posted an inscription: 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.”
One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself 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 one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?
41 Kiti bite udi dert, arik din seru nduk katwa bitari. Na unit ulele na su imonmong inanzang ba.”
We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 A kpinaku, a woro, “Yesu, lizino nin mi asa upira kipin tigo fe.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
43 Yesu woroghe, “Kidegenere nbelin fi, uma yitu nin mi kipin tigo nighe.”
And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
44 Kube da susut nin nikoro kutocin, nsirti tursu kutyine vat uduru ikoro kutir
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
45 na nkanang nwii nmala. Kusakala kutyi nlira jarta kyitik kitene utolu kadas.
The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46 Yesu jarta nin liwui kang ayila, a woro “Ucif, nan nya nacara fere nnakpa ulai ning.” Na a belle nani, aku.
Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.
47 Na udya na nan likum akalt likure in yene imon ile isu, azazina Kutelle, a woro, “Kidegenere, ulele unan katwa kacineari nadi.”
When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely 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 when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating 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.
But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.
50 Umong unit wa diku unan lissan Yusufu, nan nya na nan kpiluzu, unit ugegeme nin katwa kacine
Now there was a Council member named Joseph, 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.
who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 Unit une do kitin Bilatus, tirino kidowon Yesu.
He went to Pilate to ask 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.
Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.
54 Uwui nshiriari wadi, Assabath wa dak susut npiru.
It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.
55 Awane na iwa dak nanghe unuzun Galili, dofino kidung, iyene kissekke iyene imusun nonkue kidowe non.
The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
56 I kpilla, ida shirya nnuf kunya min tintu. Lirin Nasabbath ishino nafo ubellin duke.
Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
