Luke 23
1 Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
Vat anuu me sa wa tarsa wa hiri wa tonno, wa ēn Yeso ahira Bilatus.
2 And they began to accuse him, ‘This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is “Christ, a king.”’
Wa hiri me inna banga ayari, unu gusa “Ta kem unun geme unu hara umu ruba manu, agi kati wa nya ikirfi ima nyanga ba, unu gusa agi memani Asere, Ugomo”.
3 ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked him. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
Bilatus ma iki me “Ho mani Ugomo a Yahudawa?” Yeso makabirka me ma gu “Wa buka anime”.
4 But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, ‘I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.’
Bilatus ma gun anu adandang aka tuma nan anuu gbardang, “Daki ma kem unun ugeme unu pilko ba.
5 But they insisted, ‘He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.’
Wa gaawe unu gusa “Ma bunkurko anuu unu bezizi umeme vat uyahuda, matuba ugalili nanu aye abame.”
6 Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
Sa Bilatus ma kunna anime, ma iki nan unuu nuu Galili mani.
7 and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.
Sa ma rusa unun maran atari ti Hiridua tini, ma tuburko Yeso u hana ahira Hiridus u Jerusalem ati yee me.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.
Sa Hiridus ma ira Yeso, ma wu apuru arum, barki sa ma nyara u ira ume datti. Mamu kunna abanga ame, ma nyara ma iri imum ibiyau me sa ma wuza.
9 So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
Hiridus ma iki Yeso timum gbardang, Yeso ma game kabirka me.
10 Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
Unuu adandang aka tuma nan anuu nyerte wa hirri ummu ruba wa nya me ayari.
11 And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Jesus with scorn; he mocked him by throwing a gorgeous robe round him, and then sent him back to Pilate.
Hiridus nan ana nikara nini kono (Ma'Soja) wa zogizi me wa wuzi me nibassa. Wa sukki me udibi udandang wa kurzo me ahira Bilatus.
12 And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
Barki Hiridus nan Bilatus wazin ruroni inna cece atiyee me (wazin inni erru atiyee ta dumo)
13 So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,
Bilatus ma titi anuu adandang aka tuma nan Agomo dandang nan nigura na nuu.
14 and said to them, ‘You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;
Ma gun we “Ya aye nime unu nuu ugeme kasi unuu sa mazin nuwuza anun wa wuzi imum izenzen, irani ma iko me ashin, daki ma kem me inna bur imumme sa ya booni anicee numeba.
15 nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
Nan Hiridus sa ma kurzo me ahira aru ma ira me inna bur sa abari ahun me ba.
16 so I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
“Barki anime indi cobi me in ceki me”.
Bilatus maka nya a Yahudawa unun inde anyimo ande sa wa rani akura ani rere uganiya idin keterewa.
18 But they began to shout as one man, ‘Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.’
Wa meki tihunu vat uwe unu gusa “Ceki unuu geme u nyan duru Barabas”.
19 (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
Barabas unuu me sa aka korso me udenge uni rere sa ma guri ahira ahun unuu.
20 Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
Bilatus ma kuri ma buki we tize uguna ma ceki Yeso.
21 but they kept calling out, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’
Wa wuu tihunu wa gu “Gankirka me, Gankirka me”.
22 ‘Why, what harm has this man done?’ Pilate said to them for the third time. ‘I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
Ma gun we uku taru, “Barki nyani, a ya bur ani unuu geme ma wuza shi? Daki makemme unu pilko sa wa bari ahume ba. Barki anime imma Cobo me indi ceki me”.
23 But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
Wa game inti myiran inna za, unu nyara a nyawe me wa gankirka me. Tihunu tuweme tihunguko iruba i Bilatus.
24 Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
Abinime Bilatus ma nya we me.
25 He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.
Ma ceki Barnabas sa maa guri ahira ahun unuu. Ma nyawe Yeso sa wa nyara.
26 And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
Sa wa haka nan me, wa gurna nan Siman unanuu Sayirin, ma zeze usuro ani pin, wa canni me ukunti ugankirka ma tarsi Yeso.
27 There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
Unu hem unu gura nanuu nan nanee intisso nan tihunu, unu tarsa ume.
28 So Jesus turned and said to them, ‘Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Yeso ma gamirka ma gu “Acaa anu Jerusalem, kati ishinime ba, sooni acee ashi nan na hana ashi.
29 A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said – “Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!”
Irani barki, tiyee tieze sa wadi gu, 'Ani ruba irum wani anuu zattu yozo, nan tipuru sa daki ta yozo nan na hene sa daki a hamza ba.
30 At that time people will begin to say to the mountains “Fall on us,” and to the hills “Cover us.”
Abini me wadi tubi ugusan na pana 'Rizo aharu', nan napoo, 'Impon duru',
31 If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?’
Ingi awuza matiti mazu aname, nyanini idi kem mage sa mawaa?”
32 There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
Ukassu anuu, akari waree wazi nigome nan me tantu kahuname.
33 When they had reached the place called “The Skull,” there they crucified Jesus and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left.
Sa wa aye ahirame sa atisa “Ukunkuwa”, Wa gankirka me nan akari waree unuu inde atari tinanre unuu inde atari tinangure.
34 Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.’ His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
Yeso ma gu “Acoo, vette ucara uwemen, barki sa wa taawe imume sa wazin unuwuza ba”. Wa acece tirunga tumeme in bizawazawa.
35 Meanwhile the people stood looking on. Even the leading men said with a sneer, ‘He saved others, let him save himself, if he is God’s Christ, his chosen one.’
Anuu wa turi unu hirame, agomo unu wuza ume nibassa, unu gusa “Ma bursa aye ca ma buri nice nume, ingi memani Ugomo Asere nan Asere sa a Zauka”.
36 The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
Anani kara nini kono (Ma Soja) wa meki uhaza upuru ume unu wuza ume nibassa, unu ninza ume mei magbarara.
37 and saying as they did so, ‘If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.’
Unu gusa, “Ingi homan Ugomo wa Yahudawa, bura nicee nuwe”.
38 Above him were the words – “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
U'ira warani ame “Ugomo wa Yahudawa mazigeneme”.
39 One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. ‘Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us,’ he said.
Uye anyimo akarime mazogeme sa agankirka we nan me unu gusa “Inzo homani Ugomo Asere? Bura nicee nuwe nan haru”.
40 But the other rebuked him. ‘Haven’t you,’ he said, ‘any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
Unuu kureme ma tarika me, magu “Uda kunna we biyau ba Asere ba, tunsa imun inde ini ya kem shi?
41 And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
Haru tiraa abame rep, barki ucara urun. Unuu ugeme daki ma cara imum ninba”.
42 Jesus,’ he went on, ‘do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.’
Ma gu, “Yeso, ringinmi anyimo ati Gomo tuweme”.
43 And Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.’
Yeso ma gunme “Kadundura ma gunan huu, kani udizi nan mi akura Asere.”
44 It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,
Inna tii uwui (Azumu kirau in anaree) ahira abee Uhana uniyee.
45 the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
Masaa mu wui ma inpino. Ugebtu udenge unigurame ujanika atii.
46 Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ And with these words he expired.
Inna soo, inni nyiran nidandang Yeso ma gu, “Acoo, ma nya Bibe bum atari tuwe”. Sa ma buka anime ma wii.
47 The Roman centurion, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, ‘This must have been a good man!’
Sa una nikara nini kono (Usoja U Romawa) ma ira imumme sa ya cukuno anime ma gu “Kadundura unuu geme ma zome ma dini ba”.
48 All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
Vat nigura nanbu sa wa aye bati iri imumme sa awuza, wa kuri unu tira igiri.
49 All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
Vat ande sa wa rusa me, nan anee me sa wa tarsa me usuro u Galili, wa tonno pit, unu hira utimumme.
50 Now there was a man of the name of Joseph, who was a member of the Council, and who bore a good and upright character.
Russani, uru nun maa rani unaniza Isubu, de sa maa rani anyimo anuu hirra. Unuu uririn mani ini ruba ubenki.
51 (This man had not assented to the decision and action of the Council.) He belonged to Arimathea, a town in Judea, and lived in expectation of the kingdom of God.
Unuu ugeme daki ma hem ini mumme sa anuu hirra wa wuza ba nan bi wuzawuza buweme ba. Mee unanuu Yahuda mani ani pin nu Arimatiya mazin nunyara uti Gomo ta Asere.
52 He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
Unuu me makem Bilatus, ma iki ikizi Yeso.
53 and, when he had taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet, and laid him in a tomb cut out of stone, in which no one had yet been buried.
Ma tuzo ini, ma impi ini unu malti uririn, ma ka natta a ire ican upuru uni poo, sa daki amuwuna ire ikizin ba.
54 It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.
Uwui ubibarabara bini nan Asabar a ezi.
55 The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
Anee me sa wa tarsi Yeso usuro U Galili, wa tarsi waka ira ican me nan nuvati me.
56 and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment.
Wa kuri, waka nyara uturari nan mani munya urunta. Wa venke unu wui wa sabar kasi udungara U Musa.
