Luka 23
1 Vat lipitin mine fita, ida nin Yesu nbun Bilatus.
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.”
They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Messiah, a king.”
3 Bilatus tiringhe, a woro, “Fere Ugo na Yahudawa?” Yesu kawa ghe a woro, “Fere nbelle nani.”
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
4 Bilatus woro na didya na prieste nin lipitin nanit. “Na nse unit ulele nin taanu ba.”
Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “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 insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
6 Na Bilatus nlanza nani, a tirino sa unite kunan Galiliari.
But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, 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.
When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those 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 Yeshua, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 Hirudus tirino Yesu ku uliru gbardang, amma na Yesu nkawa ghe imon ba.
He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
10 Adidya na priest nin na nan ninyerte fita, nin tinana nayi nvuruzughe nliru.
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.
Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 Hirudus nin Bilatus waso adondon nati lilone (amma iwa tu iyita anan nivira nati).
Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
13 Bilatus tunna ayicila udya na priest, nin nagoo a ligozi nanite kiti kirum,
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 this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse 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 I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has 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.
Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
18 Vat mine jartiza kang, I woro, “Caan nin nit ulele, I nutun nari Barabas ku!”
But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
19 Barabas unitari wadi ulenge na iwa ceo ghe licin kitene kulapi nsali dortu nliru tigo kipine nin katwa likiri.
one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
20 Bilatus kuru asu nani uliru tutung, nin su nworu a sun Yesu ku.
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Yeshua,
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.”
He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime 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. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
24 Bilatus yinna nani nin kuculu mine.
Pilate decreed 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.
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua 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.
When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Yeshua.
27 Ligozi nanit gbardang, nin nawani ale na iwa di tiyomme wa din dortu ghe.
A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned 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 Yeshua, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t 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.'
For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
30 Ima cizunu ubelu na kup, 'Dio nati bite,' a apara, 'Kiro nari.'
Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell 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 will be done in the dry?”
32 Iwa yiru among anit naba anan likara linanzang idi molu ligowe ninghe.
There were also others, two criminals, 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.
When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right 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.
Yeshua said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments amongst 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.”
The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!”
36 Inung anan likum wang sughe liyong, ida kupo me, ina ghe nmyen migbalala,
The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 idin belu, “Andi fere uga na Yahudawe, tucu litife.”
and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 I wa su imong inyerte ibana kitene litine, “ULELERE UGO NA YAHUDAWA.”
An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “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 was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Messiah, 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 answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under 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 for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 A kpinaku, a woro, “Yesu, lizino nin mi asa upira kipin tigo fe.”
He said to Yeshua, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
43 Yesu woroghe, “Kidegenere nbelin fi, uma yitu nin mi kipin tigo nighe.”
Yeshua said to him, “Assuredly 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 the whole 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 in two.
46 Yesu jarta nin liwui kang ayila, a woro “Ucif, nan nya nacara fere nnakpa ulai ning.” Na a belle nani, aku.
Yeshua, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having 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 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.
All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
49 Vat na nan yiru me, nin na wani ale na ina dofin ghe unuzun Galili, yissina pit, idin yenju ni leli imone.
All his acquaintances and the women who followed with 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
Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, 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), from Arimathaea, a city of the Judeans, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
52 Unit une do kitin Bilatus, tirino kidowon Yesu.
This man went to Pilate, and asked for Yeshua’s body.
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.
He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
54 Uwui nshiriari wadi, Assabath wa dak susut npiru.
It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Awane na iwa dak nanghe unuzun Galili, dofino kidung, iyene kissekke iyene imusun nonkue kidowe non.
The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
56 I kpilla, ida shirya nnuf kunya min tintu. Lirin Nasabbath ishino nafo ubellin duke.
They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
