Luka 23
1 Vat lipitin mine fita, ida nin Yesu nbun Bilatus.
And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto 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—This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar, —and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.
3 Bilatus tiringhe, a woro, “Fere Ugo na Yahudawa?” Yesu kawa ghe a woro, “Fere nbelle nani.”
And, Pilate, questioned him, saying—Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, 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 High-priests and the multitudes, Nothing, find I, worthy of blame, 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, began to be urgent, saying—He is stirring up the people, teaching along all Judaea, even beginning from Galilee unto this place.
6 Na Bilatus nlanza nani, a tirino sa unite kunan Galiliari.
Now, Pilate, hearing [that], questioned whether the man was, a Galilaean.
7 Na ayinno adi nmyin tigon Hirudus ari, a turung Yesu ku udu kitin Hirudus, ama litine wang wadin Urshalima nayiri ane.
And, getting to know that he was of the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he also, being in 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.
And, Herod, seeing Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly; for he had been, a considerable number of times, wishing to see him, —because he had heard concerning him, and was hoping, some sign, to behold, by him, brought to pass.
9 Hirudus tirino Yesu ku uliru gbardang, amma na Yesu nkawa ghe imon ba.
And he went on to question him in a good many words; but, he, answered him, nothing.
10 Adidya na priest nin na nan ninyerte fita, nin tinana nayi nvuruzughe nliru.
And the High-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 soldiery, having set him at nought, and mocked him, threw about him a gorgeous robe, and sent him back unto Pilate.
12 Hirudus nin Bilatus waso adondon nati lilone (amma iwa tu iyita anan nivira nati).
And they became friends—both Herod and Pilate—on the self-same day, one with another; for they had previously been at enmity between themselves.
13 Bilatus tunna ayicila udya na priest, nin nagoo a ligozi nanite kiti kirum,
And, Pilate, calling together the High-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.
said unto them—Ye brought unto me this man, as one turning away the people, and lo! I, in your presence, examining him, found, nothing, in this man worthy of blame, in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against him.
15 Baba, sa ame Hirudus wang, a kurtunghe udak kiti bite, yenen, na asu imong imon ilenge na iduru nworu aku ba.
Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you, —and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him.
16 Bara nani mma tighe aneo, nsunghe.”
So, then, chastising him, I will 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 aloud, with the whole throng, 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.
who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison.
20 Bilatus kuru asu nani uliru tutung, nin su nworu a sun Yesu ku.
Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus.
21 Ijaritiza I woro, “Na ikotinghe kuca, na ikotinghe kuca.”
But, they, called out in return, 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.”
But, he, the third time, said unto them—Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him!
23 Amma ileo ubun njartiza kang, npiru nworu ikotinghe kucha. Tiwui mine ta Bilatus yinna.
But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail.
24 Bilatus yinna nani nin kuculu mine.
And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;
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 released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, —whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto 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, as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, —they laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 Ligozi nanit gbardang, nin nawani ale na iwa di tiyomme wa din dortu ghe.
And there was following him a great throng of the people, and of women, who were smiting themselves and lamenting him.
28 A gbitirno kiti mine, Yesu woro, “Nishonon Urshalima, na iwa gilu meng ku ba, ama gilan atimine nin nono mine.
But, turning towards them, Jesus said—Daughters of Jerusalem! Do not weep for me; but, for yourselves, be weeping, 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 lo! days are coming, in which they will say—Happy the barren! even 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, will they begin to say—unto the mountains, Fall upon us! and unto the hills, Cover us!
31 Iwa su ile imone a kuce dutu kushiti, Iyaghari ma se ku wa malu kotu?”
Because if, in moist wood, these things, they are doing, —in, the dry, what shall happen?
32 Iwa yiru among anit naba anan likara linanzang idi molu ligowe ninghe.
And there were being led, two other evil-doers also, to be lifted up.
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 into the place which was called Skull, there, they crucified him; and the evil-doers, one indeed 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.
But, Jesus, was saying—Father! forgive them; for they know not what they do. And, when they were parting his garments, 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 were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying—Others, he saved, let him save himself, —if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen.
36 Inung anan likum wang sughe liyong, ida kupo me, ina ghe nmyen migbalala,
Moreover the soldiers also mocked him, —coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him,
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.”
Now there was an inscription also, over him—THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!
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 suspended evil-doers, began to defame him—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, answering, rebuked him, and said—Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment?
41 Kiti bite udi dert, arik din seru nduk katwa bitari. Na unit ulele na su imonmong inanzang ba.”
And, we, indeed, justly, —for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done.
42 A kpinaku, a woro, “Yesu, lizino nin mi asa upira kipin tigo fe.”
And he went on to say—Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into 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 this day: With me, shalt thou be in Paradise.
44 Kube da susut nin nikoro kutocin, nsirti tursu kutyine vat uduru ikoro kutir
And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour, —
45 na nkanang nwii nmala. Kusakala kutyi nlira jarta kyitik kitene utolu kadas.
the sun 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, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said—Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.
47 Na udya na nan likum akalt likure in yene imon ile isu, azazina Kutelle, a woro, “Kidegenere, ulele unan katwa kacineari nadi.”
And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying—In very deed, this man, was, righteous.
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 who had been drawn together unto this spectacle, having looked upon the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts, began to return.
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 they who were acquainted with him, were standing afar off, women also who had followed with him from Galilee, —beholding these things.
50 Umong unit wa diku unan lissan Yusufu, nan nya na nan kpiluzu, unit ugegeme nin katwa kacine
And lo! a man, by name Joseph, being, 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.
(the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), —from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God,
52 Unit une do kitin Bilatus, tirino kidowon Yesu.
the same, going unto Pilate, claimed 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, taking it down, he wrapped it in a fine Indian cloth, and laid him in a tomb hewn in stone, —where no one as yet was lying.
54 Uwui nshiriari wadi, Assabath wa dak susut npiru.
And it was a day of preparation, and, a Sabbath, was about to dawn.
55 Awane na iwa dak nanghe unuzun Galili, dofino kidung, iyene kissekke iyene imusun nonkue kidowe non.
And the women, they who had come out of Galilee with him, following after, observed the tomb, and how his body was laid.
56 I kpilla, ida shirya nnuf kunya min tintu. Lirin Nasabbath ishino nafo ubellin duke.
And, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;
