Luke 23
1 Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
ilipugha lyoni vakima vakantwala uYesu pavulongolo pa Pilato.
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.”’
vakatengula kukumuligha viti, tumwaghile umuunhu uju ikujisofia iisi jitu, ikutukana kuhumia isongo kwa Kaisali, kange ijova kuuti umwene ghwe Kilisite uNtwa.
3 ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked him. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
uPilato akamposia akati, “vuli uve veve Ntwa ghwa vayahidi? uYesu akamwamula akati, “veve ghujova ndikio?”
4 But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, ‘I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.’
UPilato akam'bula um'baha ghwa vatekesi nilipugha, “nanikughwagha unkole ghwa muunhu uju”.
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.’
avele ihovelesia avaanhu avulanisie muvuyahudi mwoni, atengulile ku Galilaya lino pwale kuno”.
6 Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
uPilato ye apulike agha, akaposia nave umuunhu uju ghwa kuGalilaya?
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.
ye akagwile kuuti kuuti ali mu vutwa vwa Helode, akantwala u Yesu kwa Helode, ulwakuva ifighono ifio.
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.
uHelode ati amwaghile uYesu, akahovoka kyongo ulwakuva ifighono finga akalondagha kukum'bona. akapulika imola sako akahuvilagha kulola ikidegho kimo kino kivombelua nu mwene.
9 So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
uHelode akamposia uYesu amasio minga neke uYesu nakavamula kyokyoni.
10 Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
avavaha vavatekesi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo vakima ni ng'alasi kukumuligha.
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.
uHelode palikimo na vasikali vake, vakamuligha na kumbenafula, vakamfasia amenda amanono, pepano akan'gomosia uYesu kwa Pilato.
12 And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
uHelode nu Pilato vakavisagha vamanyani kutengulila ikighono ikio [ulwakwasia valyale valugu].
13 So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,
uPilato akavakemela palikimo avatekesi na avavaha na ni lipugha lya vaanhu,
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;
akavavula akati, “muniletile umuunhu uju ndavule umuunhu juno ilongosia avaanhu kuvomba imbivi, lolagha nitile nimposie pavulongolo pa maaso ghinu nanighwaghile un'kole kwa muunhu uju ku ghoni ghano umue mukumuhigha umwene.
15 nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
ndali, ghwope uHelode ulwakuva alyan'gomwisie kulyusue, loola nakwekili kimonga kino avombile, kino kikumpelela afue.
16 so I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
pe lino nikun'kopa na kukumulekesia.
18 But they began to shout as one man, ‘Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.’
neke vooni palikimo vakova vakati, “m'busie ujuo un'dindulile uBalaba
19 (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
uBalaba alyale muunhu juno avikilue mu ndinde ulwakuva alyavombile uvuhosi vumonga mu lipulo na kwa kubuda.
20 Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
uPilato akavavula kange nilonda kumulekesia uYesu.
21 but they kept calling out, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’
neke aveene vakajeghelagha viti, unkomelele, unkomelele”.
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.’
akavaposia ulwa vutatu, neke umuunhu uju avombile uvuhosi vuki?” nanikughwagha unkole ghuno ghukun'twalila abudue. lino ningamale kun'tova nikumulekesia.
23 But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
neke vakaghina kukwov, vilonda kuuti, akomelelue. neke ilyovo lyake likamwitikisia uPilato.
24 Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
pepano uPilato akalamula kuvomba ndafu muvufumbue vwake.
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.
akamulekesia juno valyaneelile juno alyadindilue mulywa kupela ilibaatu na kubuda. neke akantavula uYesu ndavule mundondele saake.
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.
ye vikuntwala vakankola umuunhu jumo itambulua ghwe Simoni juno akahuma mu iisi ija Kilene, vakam'beghasia ikikovekano neke ipinde kumbingilila uYesu.
27 There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
ilipugha lya vaanhu navakijuva vano valyale vilila na kusukunala vwimila vwake navambingililagha.
28 So Jesus turned and said to them, ‘Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
neke akansyetukila, uYesu akavavula,”avahinja va muyelusalemumulekaghe kundilila uneloli mulilaghe vwimila mu lyumue na vwimila mu vaanha vinu.
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!”
lola ifighono fikwisa fino viliti, “vafunyilue vano vaghumba na maleme ghano naghapapile, na mavele ghano naghong'ilisie”
30 At that time people will begin to say to the mountains “Fall on us,” and to the hills “Cover us.”
pepano vatengula kufivula ifidunda kuuti, “tughile ni fidunda mutukupike” ulwakuva
31 If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?’
nave vivomba agha ku umwighu, pe luliva ndani ku ghuno ghumile?”
32 There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
avaghosi avange avahosi vavili vakantwalagha palikimo nu mwene neke vabudue.
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.
ye vafikile pano vatambuluagha Lung'ala lwa muunhu, pepano pepano vakavakomelela palikimo na vahosi vala. jumo ulubale lwa kundio nujunge ulubale ulwa kung'ighi.
34 Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.’ His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
uYesu akam'bula, “Nhaata uvasaghile ulwakuva sino vivomba navasitaghinie “. voope vakatova ulusudolekughava amenda ghake.
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.’
avaanhu vakima kumo vikuvalola avavaha vuno vikumuhigha, na kuti, “alyavapokile avange na lino ipoke jujuo nave umwene ghwe Kiliste ghwa Nguluve Mwimike”.
36 The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
avasikali voope vakam'benapula, vakam'belelela na kukumpela, isiki,
37 and saying as they did so, ‘If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.’
vakatisagha,”nave uve uli Ntwa ghwa vaYahudi ipoke juve ghwemwene”
38 Above him were the words – “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
kwekulyale kange ni kivalilo kwa mwene kino kilembilue “UJU GHWE MUTWA GHWA VAYAHUDI”.
39 One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. ‘Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us,’ he said.
umuhosi jumo juno akakemelilue akamuligha akati,” uve na veve Kilisite? ghupoke juve neke najusue”
40 But the other rebuked him. ‘Haven’t you,’ he said, ‘any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
neke ujunge jula akamwamula, akan'dalikila akati, “ghwe, uve naghukumwoghopa uNguluve, najuve uli muluhighilo luliku?
41 And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
usue pwetule bahapa musakilweli, ulwakuva usue twukupila kinokinoghile ku maghendele ghitu. neke umuunhu uju naavombile ikivivi kyokyoni.
42 Jesus,’ he went on, ‘do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.’
pe akongelesia kuuti,”Yesu ung'umbukaghe kyale ghukwingila mu vutwa vwako”.
43 And Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.’
uYesu akam'bula, kyang'haani nikukuvula, umusyughu ghuva nune ku Paladis”.
44 It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,
apuo jikale pipi nu n'tanda pa mwisi ing'isi jikisa jikakupikila iisi jooni kufikila ikivalilo ikya busika lubale”
45 the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
ulumuli lwa lijuva lukasimile, pe baho umwenda ughwa nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila ghukademuka pakate kutengulila kukyanya.
46 Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ And with these words he expired.
pe uYesu akalila fiijo akati,” ghwe Nhaata nivika umwoojo ghwango mumavoko ghako” ye ajovile aghuo akafua.
47 The Roman centurion, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, ‘This must have been a good man!’
uAkida ye asivwene sino sivombike akamughinia uNguluve akati, “kyang'haani umuunhu uju akale mugholofu.”
48 All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
unsiki ilipugha ilya vaanhu vano vakisile sino sivombeka vakati vasivwene, vakagomoka kuno vikutovatova pafifuva fyave.
49 All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
neke avamanyani vake navakijuva vano valyale vikumbingilila kuhuma ku Galilaya, valyimile patali vilola sino sivombeka.
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.
lola, kwealyale umuunhu juno ghwope muli balasa akatambulwagha Yosefu juno alyale ghwope muli balasa, umuunhu unono nu nya kyang'haani.
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.
akale naiting'inie na masaghe na maghendele ghave], kuhuma ku Alimataya, umpulo ghwa kiYahudi ghuno ghulyale ghughulila uvutwa vwa Nguluve.
52 He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
umuunhu uju akam'belelela uPilato akansuuma am'pele um'bili ghwa Yesu.
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.
akamwisia na kunsyungukisia umwenda um'blafu akam'ka mumbipa jini jilyabughulike muli nalavue lino nakwale juno aghele kusyulua.
54 It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.
kilyale kighono kya kuling'ania ni sabati jilyale pipi.
55 The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
avakijuva vano vakisile navope kuhuma ku Galilaya, vakalongosinie, vakajagha imbipa ghwene um'bili ghwake vaghughonisie.
56 and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment.
vakagomoka na kutengula kutengelela amafuta gano ghinikilila, neke pakighono ikya Sabati vakapuma ndavule uvutavike vwa ndaghilo.
