Luka 23
1 Lani bi cancannikpeliba taanli kuli den fii ki gedini Jesu gufeneeli Pilata po.
The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
2 Bi den cili ki kuli o ki yedi: “Ti den laa one ke o yaandi ti niba, ki tua ban da pa o badiciamo Sesa li lubili, ki go tua ke wani oba n tie U Tienu n Gandi Yua o bado.”
They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
3 Pilata den buali Jesu: “A tie Jufinba bado bi?” Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “Fini n yedi yeni.”
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
4 Pilata den yedi bi kopadicianba yudanba leni ku niligu: “Mii laa ke o joa na tieni tagiliba kuli.”
Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 Bi den nia ki yedi: “O den cili ŋali Galile po ki tagi Jude nni kuli ki pundi ŋali ne, ki bangi bi niba ki tigini ba ke ban yie li bali.”
But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
6 Pilata n den gbadi ke bi maadi Galile maama, o den buali o joa yeni ya tie Galile yua.
But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Wan den gbadi ke o tie Elodo ya diema yua, o den soani o Elodo po. Li sua ke Elodo ye laa diema laa dana.
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 Wan den laa Jesu, o pali den mangi boncianla kelima ŋali yogu o den bua ki le o, kelima o den gba ke bi maadi o maama ke o sugini wan tieni mi bancianma wan le.
Now when Herod saw Jesus, 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 O den buali Jesu i buali boncianla, ama waa den guani o maamaba kuli.
He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
10 Bi kopadicianba yudanba leni li balimaama bangikaaba den ye li kani ki kuliti Jesu boncianla kaa cedi.
The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Elodo den taani leni a minteela ki fali o, ki ñuadi o ki lani o ti tiakiagidi, ki guani o Pilata po.
Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 Hali yogu ti yibalindi den ye Elodo leni Pilata siiga, laa daali liga bi den danli leni biyaba.
Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
13 Pilata den taani bi kopadicianba yudanba leni Jufinba yudanba leni ku niligu kuli
Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 ki yedi ba: “Yi den cuani n kani o joa na ki yedi ke o yaandi bi niba ki tua ke ban yie li bali. To, n buali o yi nintuali ki sua ke waa tieni liba yin kuli o yaala kuli siiga.
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 Elodo moko naa sua ke o pia tagili, lane ke o guani o ti kani. O joa na ki tieni liba kuli yaala n pundi tin kpa o.
Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Lanyaapo n ya teni ke bi pua o n baa ŋa o.”
I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
17 Li den sua ke mi pendima jaanma kuli li tie tiladi Pilata n faabi kpaadi yenli ku niligu po.
Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
18 Ku niligu kuli den taani ki tiani: “Teni ban kpa o joa na, ki faabi tipo Balabasa.”
But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
19 Bi den kuani Balabasa li kadidieli nni kelima o den fiini mi janjanma u dogu nni ki go kpa o nilo moko.
one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
20 Pilata den bua ki faabi Jesu. Lanyaapo o go den maadi leni ku niligu.
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
21 Ama bi den tangi ki tua: “Joani o li dapoanpoanli po, joani o li dapoanpoanli po.”
but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22 Pilata go den maadi ba mi tataama ki yedi: “O tieni be yo ke li bia? Mii laa ke o tieni ya bonbiadila n pundi mi kuuma. Lanwani n baa teni ban pua o ki ŋa o.”
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 Bi go den ñi ki tangi ki tua ke ban joani o li dapoanpoanli po, ŋali ke bi tantani den paadi Pilata.
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
24 Lanyaapo Pilata den jia ti buudi ki kadi ke ban mia ban tieni Jesu yaala yeni baa tieni.
Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
25 O den ŋa ban den kuani ya joa li kadidieli nni keli mi janjanma po leni mi nikpama kuli po yeni nani ku niligu n mia maama, ki taa Jesu ki teni ba ke ban tieni o ban bua yaala.
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
26 Ban den ñani Jesu likani ki caani o ki baan kpa o, bi den tuogi Silena dogu yua ke bi yi o Simono ke o ñani i kuani po. Bi den cuo o ki bugini o li dapoanpoanli wan ya bugi ki ŋua Jesu.
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 Jesus.
27 Li nigocianli den ŋua o, bi siiga bi puoba den ye, ki pua bi bena ki mua Jesu po.
A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
28 O den jigidi ki yedi ba: “Yinba, Jelusalema puoba, da mua mani mini yaapo, ya mua mani yi ya yula po leni yi bila po.
But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Kelima a dana baa ti cua ke bi baa yedi: 'Li pamanli ye leni mu poŋoalimu, yaaba n ki mali leni yaaba n ki ŋaandi biga kuli po.'
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 Laa yogunu bi niba baa maadi leni a joaciama ki tua: 'Baa mani tipo,' ki go ya maadi a joabila ki tua: 'Hoagini mani ti.'
Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
31 Kelima bi ya tieni ku dasoagigu yeni, bi baa tieni ku dakuongu mo lede?”
For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
32 Bi go den gedini nikpaba lie ki baa taani ki kpa ba leni Jesu.
There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
33 Ban den pundi ban yi ya kaanu ku yukuokuogu, bi den joani Jesu li dapoanpoanli po, ki go joani bi nibiadiliediba a dapoanpoana po, yendo Jesu jienu po, o yua mo o ganu po.
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 Jesu den yedi: “N Baa, tieni bipo sugili kelima baa bani ban tiendi yaala.” Bi den toani tiatia ki boagidi o tiayiekaadi.
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
35 ku niligu den se li kani ki diidi. Jufinba yudanba den ñuadi Jesu ki tua: “O den ga nitoaba, o ya tie Kilisiti U Tienu n Gandi Yua, wan ga o yuli.”
The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
36 A minteela moko den ñuadi o ki cua o kani ki teni o mi ñinmiligima ki yedi:
The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 “A ya tie Jufinba bado ŋan ga a yuli.”
and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 Ya diani n tie na den taabi ki yiini o yuli po: One n tie Jufinba bado.
An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
39 Bi nibiadiliediba yaaba n den juani a dapoanpoana po yeni siiga yendo den sugidi Jesu ki yedi: “Haa tie U Tienu n Gandi Yua kaa? Ga a yuli ki nan ga ti mo.”
One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
40 Ama o lielo den funi leni o ki yedi: Haa jie U Tienu, fini yua n ta leni o joa naa?
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41 Tinba yaapo, ya cuonu n tie na tiegi, kelima ti ga ti tuona panpaani, ama one naa tieni bonbiadilaba kuli.”
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 Lani o den yedi: “Jesu ŋan tiadi npo a ya ti cua ki diedi a diema nni ya yogunu.”
He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
43 Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “N waani a moamoani, ke dinla liga a baa ye leni nni ŋalijani.”
Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
44 Lan den bua ki pundi u yensicocolu ki yenga den biigi, ke li biigili tieni ki tinga nni kuli ki ya caa ŋali li yenlebidili.
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
45 U Tienu diegu kpalidoaginkaabu den padi siiga nni ki boagidi boaga lie.
The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
46 Jesu den kpaani ki yedi: “N Baa, n teni n miali a nuu nni.” Wan den yedi yeni, o den fuo ki jiini.
Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
47 Minteela kobiga yudaano den laa yaala n tieni, o den pagi U Tienu ki yedi: “Moamoani, o joa na den tiegi lige.”
When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
48 Ya nigola n den taani likani ki diidi, n den laa yaala n tieni, bi den lebidi ki kuni ki pua bi bena.
All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
49 Yaaba n den bani Jesu kuli leni ya puoba n den ciani o ŋali Galile, den se ŋali foagima ki nua yaala n tiendi.
All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Jufinba cancannikpeliba taancianli yaaba siiga yendo den ye ke bi yi o Josefi, ya nilo n ŋani ki tiegi,
Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
51 ki tie Jufinba dogu Halimate yua. O den gu ke U Tienu diema n pundi. Waa den taani leni o lieba bi jagili nni, leni ban den tieni yaala kuli nni.
(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
52 Laa joa den gedi Pilata kani ki mia o ke wan teni o Jesu o kpiemo.
This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
53 O den jiini li dapoanpoanli po, ki bobini o bu kpalipienbu, ki duani o li kuli nni. Li den sua ke bi kpiedi li kuli yeni ku tangu po ki daa duani kpiemo kuli lienni.
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 Laa daali den tie li boginli daali U Tienu fuodima daali po, ke U Tienu fuodima daali cilima bua ki pundi.
It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Bi puoba, yaaba n den ñani Galile ki ciani Jesu yeni, ki laa li kuli leni wan duani Jesu o kpiemo maama.
The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
56 Lani bi den guani bi denpo ki bogini ya tibidi n pia u nuulimanu, leni tulale. Mi fuodima daali bi den fuodi, nani li balimaama n bili maama.
They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
