Luke 23
1 And having risen, the whole company of them led him to Pilate.
Afei baguafo no sɔre de Yesu kɔɔ Pilato anim.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ, a king.
Wofii ase totoo nʼano se, “Saa onipa yi tu nkurɔfo aso. Ɔmpene so sɛ ɔmanfo tua tow ma Kaesare aban, na ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ ɔhene Kristo no.”
3 And Pilate questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered him, he said, Thou say.
Eyi maa Pilato bisaa no se, “Wone Yudafo hene no ana?” Yesu buaa no se, “Ɛno ara na woaka no.”
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing guilty in this man.
Pilato ka kyerɛɛ asɔfo mpanyin ne nnipadɔm no se, “Minhu asɛm biara a megyina so abu onipa yi fɔ.”
5 But they were emphatic, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee as far as here.
Nanso wɔn bo antɔ wɔn yam kɔɔ so kae se, “Baabiara a ɔkɔ no, ɔnam ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so hwanyan nnipa no tia aban. Ɔde ne nkyerɛkyerɛ yi fi Galilea bɛfaa Yudeaman mu nyinaa abedu Yerusalem ha.”
6 And when Pilate heard Galilee, he questioned if the man is a Galilean.
Pilato tee asɛm no, obisae se, “Onipa yi yɛ Galileani ana?”
7 And when he perceived that he is from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem in these days.
Bere a wɔka kyerɛɛ Pilato se Yesu yɛ Galileani no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, sɛ ɛte saa de a, wɔmfa no nkɔ Ɔhene Herode anim, efisɛ Galilea hyɛ nʼase. Saa bere no ara nso na Ɔhene Herode wɔ Yerusalem.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he was wanting of a considerable time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he hoped to see some sign happening by him.
Esiane sɛ wate Yesu ho asɛm na osusuw nso sɛ, sɛ ɔba nʼanim a, ɔbɛyɛ anwonwade akyerɛ no no nti, bere a ohuu no no, nʼani gyee yiye, efisɛ na ɔpɛe sɛ obehu no no akyɛ.
9 And he interrogated him in considerable words, but he answered him nothing.
Wobisabisaa Yesu nsɛm bebree, nanso emu biara nni hɔ a oyii ano.
10 And the chief priests and the scholars had stood, vehemently accusing him.
Asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no kɔɔ so ara kaa nsɛm a enni mu guu ne so.
11 But Herod having disdained him with his soldiers, and having mocked him, having arraying him in a bright robe, he sent him back to Pilate.
Herode ne nʼasomfo no bɔɔ Yesu adapaa, dii ne ho fɛw. Afei Herode hyehyɛɛ no sɛ ɔhene san de no kɔmaa Pilato.
12 And both Pilate and Herod became friends with each other on the same day, for they were formerly being at enmity toward themselves.
Da no ara, Herode ne Pilato a anka wɔyɛ aka no, bɔɔ mu.
13 And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
Wɔde Yesu kɔmaa Pilato no, ɔfrɛɛ asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyimfo ne nnipadɔm no,
14 said to them, Ye brought this man to me as turning away the people. And behold, I, having examined him before you, found nothing guilty in this man of what ye accuse against him.
ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mode onipa yi brɛɛ me se, ɔyɛ obi a ɔnam ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so hwanyan nnipa tia aban. Mahwehwɛ nsɛm a moka guu ne so no mu wɔ mo anim, nanso minhu afɔbusɛm biara a megyina so abu no fɔ.
15 But not even Herod, for I sent you back to him, and lo, nothing having been done by him is worthy of death.
Saa ara nso na Herode annya asɛm bi annyina so ammu no fɔ a ɛno nti, wasan de no abrɛ yɛn yi. Ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara a ɛsɛ sɛ migyina so bu no kumfɔ.
16 Therefore, having scourged I will release him.
Mɛbɔ no mmaa na magyaa no.”
17 Now he had need to release one man to them at every feast.
Twam Afahyɛ biara du a Pilato gyaa odeduani baako ma wɔn.
18 But they cried out all together, saying, Take away this man, and release to us Barabbas
Pilato kasa no akyi no, nnipadɔm no nyinaa bɔ gyee so se, “Kum no, na gyaa Baraba ma yɛn.”
19 (a man who was cast into prison because of a certain insurrection that occurred in the city, and for murder).
Baraba yi yɛ obi a ɔhwanyan ɔman na ɔsan dii awu nti, wɔde no too afiase.
20 Again therefore Pilate called out wanting to release Jesus,
Pilato kɔɔ so di maa Yesu pɛɛ sɛ ogyaa no.
21 but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
Nanso wɔsan bɔ gyee so bio se, “Bɔ no asennua mu! Bɔ no asennua mu!”
22 And he said to them a third time, For what evil did this man do? I have found nothing guilty of death in him. I will therefore, having scourged, release him.
Obisaa wɔn ne mprɛnsa so se, “Adɛn? Bɔne bɛn na wayɛ? Minhu afɔbusɛm biara a megyina so abu no kumfɔ. Mɛbɔ no mmaa na magyaa no.”
23 But they were relentless with loud voices demanding him to be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.
Nanso wɔbɔ gyee so ara maa wɔn nne bu faa Pilato de no so se ɔmmɔ no asennua mu.
24 And Pilate decreed their request to happen.
Enti Pilato penee wɔn abisade no so maa wɔn.
25 And he released the man who had been cast into prison because of insurrection and murder, whom they asked for, but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Ogyaa Baraba a esiane sɛ ɔhwanyan ɔman san dii awu no nti ɔde no too afiase no maa wɔn. Na ɔde Yesu maa wɔn sɛnea wɔpɛ no.
26 And when they led him away, having taken hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian coming from the countryside, they laid the cross on him to bring behind Jesus.
Wɔde Yesu rekɔ akɔbɔ no asennua mu no, wohyiaa Kireneni bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon sɛ ofi afum reba Yerusalem. Wɔkyeree no, hyɛɛ no ma ɔsoaa Yesu asennua no wɔ ne kɔn ho dii nʼakyi.
27 And a great multitude of the people followed him, and also of women who bewailed and lamented him.
Nnipadɔm a mmea a wɔresu retwa agyaadwo fra wɔn mu no, tu dii nʼakyi.
28 But having turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, instead weep for yourselves and for your children.
Yesu dan ne ho ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Yerusalem mmea, munnsu me na munsu mo ho ne mo mma.
29 Because, behold, the days are coming, during which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the bellies that gave no birth, and the breasts that did not suckle.
Na mmere bi reba a wɔbɛka se, ‘Nhyira ne abonin ne ɔyafunu a ɛnwoo da ne nufu a wonnum da.’
30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us.
Saa bere no “‘na wɔbɛka akyerɛ mmepɔw se, “Munnwiriw ngu yɛn so!” ne nkoko nso se, “Monkata yɛn so!”’
31 Because if they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?
Na sɛ wɔde eyi yɛ me a meyɛ dummono no a, dɛn na wɔde bɛyɛ mo a moyɛ duwui?”
32 And two other men, malefactors, were also led with him to be executed.
Bere a wɔde Yesu rekɔ no, wɔde nnebɔneyɛfo baanu bi kaa ne ho se wonkokum wɔn.
33 And when they came to the place called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one at the right hand and the other at the left.
Woduu faako a wɔfrɛ hɔ Golgota no, wɔbɔɔ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfo baanu no asennua mu a ɔbaako wɔ ne nifa na ɔbaako nso wɔ ne benkum.
34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. And dividing his garments, they cast a lot.
Yesu kae se, “Agya, fa kyɛ wɔn, efisɛ wonnim nea wɔreyɛ.” Asraafo no kyekyɛɛ ne ntade mu bɔɔ so ntonto fae.
35 And the people had stood watching. And also the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others. He should save himself, if this is the Christ, the chosen of God.
Saa bere no na nnipadɔm no gyinagyina hɔ rehwɛ no. Yudafo mpanyimfo no dii ne ho fɛw se, “Ogyee ebinom nkwa; sɛ ose ɔno ne Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no a, onnye ne ho nkwa na yɛnhwɛ.”
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, approaching, and bringing him vinegar,
Asraafo no nso dii ne ho fɛw de nsa a ɛkeka bi brɛɛ no
37 and saying, If thou are the king of the Jews, save thyself.
kae se, “Sɛ wone Yudafo hene no a gye wo ho nkwa.”
38 And there was also an inscription over him written in letters, in Greek and Latin and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Wɔkyerɛw saa asɛm yi bɔɔ nʼatifi wɔ asennua no so se, “YUDAFO HENE NO NI.”
39 And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed him, saying, If thou are the Christ, save thyself and us.
Nnebɔneyɛfo baanu a na wɔn nso wɔabɔ wɔn asennua mu no mu baako dii Yesu ho fɛw se, “Ɛnyɛ wone Kristo no? Gye wo ho na gye yɛn nso.”
40 But the other man having answered, rebuking him, saying, Thou fear not even God, since thou are in the same condemnation?
Nanso ɔdebɔneyɛni a ɔka ho no kaa nʼanim se, “Wunsuro Onyankopɔn? Hu sɛ yɛn nyinaa wɔ afɔbu koro no ara mu.
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive worthy of what we did, but this man did nothing amiss.
Yɛn de, saa asotwe yi fata yɛn; yɛn bɔne so akatua na yɛanya yi, na oyi de, ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara.”
42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou come into thy kingdom.
Ɔsan kae se, “Yesu, wudu wʼahenni mu a kae me.”
43 And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, today thou will be with me in the paradise.
Yesu buaa no se, “Merehyɛ wo bɔ se nnɛ wobɛka me ho wɔ Paradise.”
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and darkness occurred over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Eduu owigyinae no, asase no so nyinaa duruu sum kabii kosii nnɔnabiɛsa.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the curtain of the temple was torn in the middle.
Owia duruu sum na ntama a etwa asɔredan no mu nso mu tewee abien.
46 And Jesus, having sounded out in a great voice, said, Father, into thy hands I entrust my spirit. And having said these things, he expired.
Yesu teɛɛ mu dennen se, “Agya, wo nsam na mede me honhom hyɛ!” Ɔkaa eyi no, ogyaa mu.
47 And when the centurion saw that which happened, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this man was righteous.
Asraafo panyin a na ogyina hɔ no huu nea asi no, oyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ se, “Ampa ara, saa onipa yi yɛ ɔtreneeni.”
48 And all the multitudes who came together to this scene, watching that which happened, turned back, beating their breasts.
Nnipa a wɔbaa hɔ bɛhwɛɛ Yesu asennuambɔ no huu sɛ wawu no, wɔde awerɛhow fii hɔ kɔe.
49 And all his acquaintances, and the women who accompanied him from Galilee, had stood from afar, seeing these things.
Saa bere no na Yesu nnamfo ne mmea bi a wodii nʼakyi fi Galilea baa no gyinagyina akyirikyiri baabi rehwɛ nea ɛrekɔ so no nyinaa.
50 And behold a man named Joseph, a council member, being a good and righteous man
Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Yosef a ofi Arimatea a ɛwɔ Yudaman mu. Na saa ɔbarima yi yɛ onipa pa a ɔteɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim a na ɔretwɛn Onyankopɔn ahenni a ɛbɛba no.
51 (this man not having consented to their purpose and deed), was from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also himself awaited the kingdom of God.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na ɔyɛ Yudafo baguafo no mu baako de, nanso wampene gyinae a wosisii ne nea wɔyɛɛ no so.
52 This man having gone to Pilate, requested the body of Jesus.
Ɔkɔɔ Pilato nkyɛn kɔsrɛɛ Yesu amu no.
53 And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher cut in rock, of which no man was yet lain.
Ɔma woyii Yesu amu no maa no, na ɔde nwera kyekyeree no de no kɔtoo ɔboda bi a obiara nnaa mu da no mu.
54 And the day was Preparation; sabbath was beginning.
Wosiee Yesu Fida a na Yudafo resiesie wɔn ho atwɛn Homeda no.
55 And having followed closely, the women who were gathered to him out of Galilee, they saw the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
Wosiee amu no wiee no, mmea a wodi Yesu akyi fi Galilea no ne Yosef kɔhwɛɛ faako a wɔde no toe ne sɛnea wosiee no fae.
56 And having returned, they prepared spices and ointments. And they indeed rested on the sabbath according to the commandment.
Saa mmea yi san wɔn akyi kɔɔ fie kɔhwehwɛɛ nnuhuam ne ngo a wɔde besiesie Yesu amu no, nanso esiane sɛ na Homeda no adu nti wɔtenaa ase komm sɛnea Yudafo mmara kyerɛ no.
