Luke 23
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
Yoonse nkamu yabo yakanyampuka, mpawo bakeeta Jesu kunembo lya Payileti.
2 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.”
Bakasanguna kumupa milandu, kabati, “Twajana mwaalumi ooyu kali kunyongania chisi chesu, walikukaka kuti tulemeke Siza, alimwi walikwaamba kuti we ngo Kkilisito, mwai.”
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
Payileti wakamubuzya wati, “Uli Mwami waba Juda na?” Mpawo Jesu wakamusandula wati, “Nduwe waamba oobo.”
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
Payileti wakati kubapayizi bapati akunkamu yabantu, “Taakwe bubi pe mbundabona mumwaalumi ooyu.”
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
Pesi bakasungwaala kabaamba kuti, “Unyongania bantu, ulayiisya mu Judea lyoonse, kuzwa ku Galilii kuzosika okuno.”
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
Aboobo Payileti naakamvwa eezi, wakabuzya kuti ooyu mwaalumi muna Galilii na.
7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
Naakamvwa kutgi wakali munsi lyanguzu zya Helodi, wakamutumina kuli Helodi, ooyo alakwe wakali mu Jelusalemu muli aayho mazuba.
8 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.
Helodi nakabona Jesu, wakabotelwa loko, nkaambo wakalikuyandisya kumubona kwachiindi chnilamfu. Wakalikmvwa aatala anguwe alimwi wakali kulipeekezya kubona malele ngachita.
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
Helodi wakamubuzya makani miingi, pesi Jesu taakwe naakasandula pe.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
Bapayizi bapati abalembi bamulawu bakaliimvwi aawo kabamupa milandu.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
Helodi abasilumamba bakwe bakamusampawula, akumuweela, bakamuzwaatika zisamo zibotu mpawo baka bweedezya Jesu kuli Payileti.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
Helodi a Payileti bakazwaaba bazolani buzuba mbuboobo (bakalibasinkondonyina chiindi choonse).
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Mpawo Payileti wakiita antoomwe bapayizi bapati, batgongi antoomwe ankamu yabantu,
14 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.
wakati kulimbabo, “Mwandeetela mwaalumi ooyu, mbuli muntu ulikupa kuti bantu babisye, pesi amulange, mebo, ndamubuzisisya kunembo lyenu, taakwe nindajana bubi pe kulinguwe aatala amilandu njimwamupa.
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
Peepe, alakwe Helodi taakwe nchaajana, nkaambo wamuboozya kulindiswe, alimwi amulange, taakwe cheelede lufu pe nchakachita.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
Ndilamusubula biyo mpawo ndimwaangunune.
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
Pesi boonse bakoompolola kabati, “Tatumuyandi pe swe ooyu mwaalumi, twaangunwide Bbarabbasi!”
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
Bbarabbasi wakali mwaalumi wakabikidwe muntolongo nkaambo kakutatgobelezya imwi milawu akujaya.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Yeshua,
Payileti wakaambula lubo, kulimbab kali achiyandisyo chakumwaangununa Jesu.
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
Pesi bakoompolola, bakati, “Abambulwe, abambulwe.”
22 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.”
Wakabaambila lwatatu, wakati, “Nkaambo nzi, ncheechili chibi nchaachita ooyu mwaalumi? Taakwe nchindajana pe chiyanda kuti apegwe chisubulo chalufu aalinguwe. Aboobo nindazwa kumusubula ndilamwaangununa.”
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
Pesi bakasungwaala amajwi mapati, kabayanda kuti abambulwe. Alimwi majwi aaya akamupa kuzumina Payilet.
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
Aboobo Payileti wakazumina kubapa chiyandisyo chabo.
25 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.
Wakaangununa ooyo ngubakali bakumbila ooyo wakabikidwe muntolongo nkaambo kabupanduki akujaya. Pesi wakapeda Jesu kuluyando lwabo.
26 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.
Nibakali kuya bumuzulwida, bakajata umwi mwaalumi utegwa Sayimoni waku Sayilini, walikuzwida munyika, bakamupikuzya chiingano kayobutobela Jesu.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
Nkamu mpati yabantu, abanakazi bakalikuya bumulila, bakamutobela.
28 But Yeshua, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Pesi wakabacheba, Jesu wakati, “Nobana basimbi ba Jelusalema, tamulili ndime, pesi amulilile lwanu abana benu.
29 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.’
Nkambo amulanga, alasika mazuba aawo nibayoti, 'Zililongezezegwe ngomwa, ayaayo mala akatazyalwa, ankolo zyakatanyonkwa.'
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
Mpawo bayootalika kuti kutulundu, 'Tuwide,' akumwaala, 'Tuvumbe.'
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
Nkaambo nabachita oobu kumusamu mutete, bayochita biyeni kulooyo muyumu?”
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
Bamwi baalumi, basimilandu babili, bakabingwa antoomwe anguwe kuti bakajiigwe.
33 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.
Nibakasika kubusena butegwa “Chifuwa,” ooko bakaubambula abasimilandu babili, umwi kuulyo umwi kuchimweensi.
34 Yeshua said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments amongst them, they cast lots.
Jesu wakati, “Ndeende, balekelele, nkaambo tabazizi nzibachita.” Mpawo bakawuma chisilo kabaabana zisamo zyakwe.
35 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!”
Bantu bakaliimvwi kabalangide alimwi batkongi bakali kumuweela, kabati, “Wafutula bamwi. Alifutule, na kali Kkilisito wa Leza uusalidwe.”
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
Basilumamba abalabo bakamusyonsya kabamupa viniga kuti anywe,
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
bakati, “Na koli Mwami waba Juda, lifutule.”
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Kwakaliwo alimwi chitondeezyo kumutwe aakwe chakalembedwe kuti, “Ooyu Mwami waba Juda.”
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Messiah, save yourself and us!”
Umwi wabasimilandu wakali kulengelela kumbali aakwe wakamutukila watgi, “Teensi nduwe Kkilisito na? Lifutule utufutule aswebo.”
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
Pesi umwi wakamukalalila wati, “Tomuyoowi na Leza, nkaambo ulimunsi lyachisubulo chikozyenie na?
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
Swebo tuli aano mukweelela, nkaambo tulikutambula zitweelede kunchito zyesu. Pesi ooyu mwaalumi taakwe chibi nchachita pe.”
42 He said to Yeshua, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
Alimwi wakayungizya wati, “Jesu, ukandiyeeye wakunjila kubwami bwako.”
43 Yeshua said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Nchobeni ndakwaambila, sunu uyoba andime mu paladiso.”
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Lino lyakali lyaba wola lyamusanu akamwi, kwakaba mudima nyika yoonse mane kwakusika wola lyamusanu atune
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
nkaambo zuba lyakakachilwa kumunika. Mulembo wamuchikombelo waka deluka akati kuzwa kujulu do aansi.
46 Yeshua, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
Akukwiila ajwi pati, Jesu wakati, “Ndeende, mumaanza aako ndabikka muuya wangu.”Naakamana kwaamba oobo wakafwa.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
Silumamba wa mwaanda naakabona kazichitika eezi, wakalumbayizya Leza, wakati, “Nchobeni ooyu wali mwaalumi uusalala.”
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
Lino bantu boonse bakabungene kuzobona zyakalikuchitika nibakabona zintu eezi zyakachitwa, bakabweeda kabafwide nsoni loko.
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
Pesi bazolani bakwe boonse abanakazi bakabatobede kuzwa ku Galilii bakayimikila kulekule, kabalikweeba zintu eezi.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
Amulange kwakali mwaalumi wakalikutegwa ngu Jozefu, wakali waNkuta, wakali mwaalumi mubotu uululeme
51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Judeans, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
(taakwe naakazuminene awo pe muzeezo wabo), wakalikuzwa kudolopo lyaku Judiya litegwa Arimathea alimwi wakalikulinda bwami bwa Leza
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Yeshua’s body.
Ooyu mwaalumi wakayinka kuli Payileti, wakukumbila mutunta wa Jesu.
53 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.
Wakawuseluzya, akuvunga mumicheka mibotu, akulazika mukabanda kakali kabbwe libezedwe, alimwi taakwe muntu wakalina lazikwa oomo pe.
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
Bwakali buzuba bwakubambila, alimwi buzuba bwa Sabata bwakali bwaswena.
55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
Banakazi bamukatobede kuzwa ku Galilii, bakatobela, bakakukabona kabanda ambaakavwikwa.
56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Bakaboola, bakabamba tununkilizyo amafuta. Mu Sabata bakalyookezya mbuli mumulawu
