Luka 23
1 Bhai likundi lyowe, gubhajimingene, nikwaapeleka a Yeshu kwa a Pilato.
And they all went and took him before Pilate.
2 Gubhatandubhenje kwaashitakiya bhalinkutinji, “Bhene bhandubha bhatendaga kwaapuganyanga bhandunji bhetu, bhalikwalimbiyanga kulipa koli kwa a Kaishali na bhalikwiishema a Kilishitu na a mpalume.”
And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
3 A Pilato gubhaabhushiye a Yeshu, “Mmwe a mpalume bha Bhayaudi?” A Yeshu gubhaajangwile “Mmwe ni nkubheleketa.”
And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.
4 A Pilato gubhaabhalanjilenje ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na lugwinjili lwa bhandu, “Ngakushibhona shibhalebhile abha bhandubha.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.
5 Ikabheje na bhalabhonji gubhapundilenje kukwiya bhalinkutinji, “Bhanakwiya nnjasha kwa majiganyo gabho nshilambo showe sha ku Yudea, kundubhila ku Galilaya, mpaka apano.”
But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.
6 A Pilato bhakapilikaneje genego gubhabhushiye, “Bhuli, abha bhandubha bha ku Galilaya?”
But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?
7 Bhakamumanyeje kuti a Yeshu bhaliji mu Ukulungwa gwa a Elode, gubhaapeleshe kwa a Elode, pabha gene mobhago pubhaliji pa Yelushalemu pepala.
And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.
8 A Elode guyaanonyele bhakaabhoneje a Yeshu. Pabha bhapilikene ngani jabho, kwa nneyo kwa mobha gamagwinji bhatendaga loleya kwaabhona. Na kabhili bhatendaga pinga bhaabhone bhalitenda ilangulo.
Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.
9 Bhai, a Elode gubhakabhile nkwabhuya, ikabheje a Yeshu bhangaajangula shoshowe.
And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.
10 Ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na bhaajandika bha shalia, gubhajimingene nkukong'ondela mashitaka gabhonji kwa kakati.
And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.
11 Bhai, a Elode na ashimanjola bhabho, gubhaalembulenje a Yeshu nikwatendela mbenji, kungai gubhaawashiyenje lijoo lya Upalume, gubhabhujilenabhonji kwa a Pilato.
And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.
12 A Elode na a Pilato bhukala pubhalinginji bhamagongo, kutandubhila lyene lyubhalyo gubhalinginji bhambwiga.
And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.
13 Bhai, a Pilato gubhashemile shitamo sha ashikalongolele bha bhaabhishila na ashikalongolele bhana bha bhandunji,
And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,
14 gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nshimbeleshelanga abha bhandubha kuti, bhanaapuganya bhandu. Ngakagulileje lyene lilobheli pameyo genunji, nangashibhona shibhalebhile shilingana na mashitaka genunji.
You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:
15 Numbe nngabha nne jikape, ikabhe nkali a Elode bhangashibhona shoshowe shibhalebhile, nigubhamujishiye. Pabha abha bhandubha shakwapi shibhatendile shapinjikwa bhaukumulwe kubhulagwa.
And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.
16 Kwa nneyo shinajile bhakomwe ibhoko, kungai shinaaleshelele.”
And so I will give him punishment and let him go.
17 Pabha bhashinkupinjikwa kwaagopolelanga nkutabhwa jumo lyubha lya shikukuu.
18 Ikabheje bhowe gwaajobhelenje gwanakamo, “Mwaabhulaje abho, ntugopolele a Bhalabha!”
But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.
19 A Bhalabha bhashinkutabhwa kwa ligongo lya nnjasha yatendeshe pa shilambo na ligongo lya bhulaga bhandu.
Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.
20 A Pilato bhapinjile kwaaleshelela a Yeshu, bhai gubhakungulwishe kabhili na bhandunji,
And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.
21 ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhapundilenje jobhela, “Mwaakomele munshalabha, mwaakomele munshalabha!”
But crying out they said, To the cross with him!
22 A Pilato gubhaabhalanjilenje gwatatu, “Bhalebhile nndi? Ngakushibhona shoshowe shibhalebhile shapinjikwa bhabhulagwe, kwa nneyo shindume bhakomwe ibhoko, naaleshelele.”
And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.
23 Ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhapundilenje kujobhela, kuti a Yeshu bhanapinjikwa bhakomelwe munshalabha. Kungai, malobhe gabhonji gugapilikanishe.
But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.
24 Bhai a Pilato gubhaukumwile kuti, itendeshe malinga shibhapinjilenje.
And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.
25 Gubhaaleshelele a Bhalabha bhatabhilwe kwa ligongo lya nnjasha na bhulaga bhandu. Gubhaakamwiye a Yeshu kwa ashimanjola, bhaatendelanje malinga shibhapingangaga.
And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.
26 Bhalinginji nkwaapeleka, gubhaimikenenje naka mundu jumo ashemwaga Shimoni jwa ku Kilene, alikopoka kunngunda. Bhai, gubhankamwilenje, gubhantwishilenje nshalabha gula aujigale nnyuma ja a Yeshu.
And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.
27 Bhandunji, makundi kwa makundi gubhaakagulenje, munkumbimo bhapalinji bhanabhakongwe bhaagutilangaga ililo.
And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.
28 A Yeshu gubhaatendebhushilenje, gubhashite, “Mmanganya ashinabhiti bha pa Yelushalemu! Nnang'utilanje nne, ikabhe mwiigutilanje mwaashayene na ashibhana bhenu.
But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.
29 Pabha, shigaishe mobha pushimmeleketanje, mbaya ashinannii na bhakanabhe kolanga wala kujonjeya!
For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.
30 Penepo, bhandunji shibhailugululanje itumbi, ‘Ntugwilanje!’ Na ijomboya, ‘Ntuunishilanje’!
And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.
31 Ibhaga bhandunji bhakuutendelanga nnei nkongo gwa mmii, shiibhe bhuli kwa nkongo gwa nnjumu?”
For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?
32 Bhandunji bhana bhabhili bhaalebhanga, bhashinkupelekwanga bhabhulagwanje pamo na a Yeshu.
And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.
33 Bhakaikanganeje pashemwaga, Shibhanga sha Ntwe, penepo gubhaakomelenje munshalabha a Yeshu na bhandunji bhabhili bhaalebhanga bhala, jumo kunkono nnilo, na juna kunkono nshinda.
And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.
34 A Yeshu gubhashite, “Atati mwaaleshelelanje, pabha bhakakwimanyanga ibhatendanga.” Gubhagebhenenje nngubho yabho kwa tendela shikoma.
And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.
35 Bhandunji gubhajimingene bhalilosheyanga. Na bhalabhonji ashikalongolele bha Shiyaudi gubhaatendelenje mbenji bhalinkutinji, “Bhashikwatapulanga bhananji, nnaino bhaitapule bhayene, monaga bhenebha bhali a Kilishitu bha a Nnungu!”
And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.
36 Ashimanjola nneyo peyo gubhaatendelenje mbenji a Yeshu, gubhaajendelenje nikwaapa divai ja shashama bhapapile,
And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,
37 bhalinkutinji, “Monaga mmwe nni A mpalume bha Bhayaudi, mwiitapule mmayene.”
And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.
38 Na pantundu nshalabha gwabho pashinkujandikwa mmbila “BHENEBHA A MPALUME BHA BHAYAUDI.”
And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Na nkulebha jumo akomelwe munshalabha jula, gwabhatukene alinkuti, “Bhuli, igala mmwe nngati a Kilishitu? Bhai mwiitapule mmayene, ntutapule na uwe.”
And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.
40 Ikabheje nkulebha juna jula gwankalipile mwine alinkuti, “Ugwe ukakwaajogopa a Nnungu? Numbe uli na ukumu jojo.
But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,
41 Uwe tushiukumulwa kwa aki, kwa itendi yetu. Ikabheje abha bhandubha shakwapi shoshowe shibhalebhile.”
And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.
42 Kungai nigwashite, “Mmwe a Yeshu! Nngumbushile pushinnjinjile mu Upalume gwenupo.”
And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.
43 A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Kweli ngunakuubhalanjila, lelope shuubhe na nne kupaladisho.”
And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.
44 Puyaaliji malanga ga shaa shita ja mui, lubhindu lukutabhaga shilambo showe mpaka shaa tisha,
And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;
45 na lukulungushi lwa Nniekalu lukupapukaga ipande ibhili.
The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.
46 A Yeshu gubhagutile kwa utiya, “Atati, mmakono genu ngunabhika mbumu yangu.” Bhakamaliyeje kubheleketa genego gubhamalile.
And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.
47 Penepo, bhakulungwa bha ashimanjola bhala bhakagabhoneje gatendeshe gala, gubhaaniye a Nnungu bhalinkuti, “Kweli abha bhandubha pubhaliji bha aki.”
And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.
48 Bhandu bhowe bhaikengene pepala kulolesheya genego, bhakagabhonanjeje gene gatendeshe gala, gubhabhujilengene kunngwabhonji, bhalikwikomanga pantima nkuinjika.
And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.
49 Ashambwiga ajabho a Yeshu, na bhanabhakongwe bhakagulangaga kukopoka ku Galilaya, gubhajimingene kwa talika bhalilolesheyanga genego.
And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.
50 Bhai bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo lina lyabho a Yoshepu, bhaliji bhanguja na bha aki. Pubhaliji bha lukumbi lukulu lwa Bhayaudi,
Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man
51 ikabheje bhenebho bhanganonyelwa na ukumu na itendi ya ashikalongolele ajabho. Bhenebha pubhaliji bhashilambo bha ku Alimataya shilambo sha Bhayaudi. Na bhatendaga lindilila kuika kwa Upalume gwa a Nnungu kwa nnolelo nkulu.
(He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:
52 A Yoshepu gubhaajendele a Pilato, gubhajujile bhapegwe shiilu sha a Yeshu.
This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.
53 Kungai gubhatulwiye shiilu munshalabha, gubhailijilile shanda ja kitani ja mmbone, gubhabhishile nnikabhuli lyaolilwe nnindandawe likulungwa, lyaliji likanabhe shikwa mundu.
And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.
54 Pulyaaliji lyubha lya kolokoya indu ya Lyubha lya Pumulila, na pulyaaliji tome na tandubha.
Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.
55 Bhanabhakongwe bhajilengene pamo na a Yeshu kukopoka ku Galilaya, gubhaakagwilenje a Yoshepu, gubhaliweninji likabhuli na shibhashite kwaashika a Yeshu.
And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;
56 Kungai, gubhabhujengene kumui, gubhajenjilenje mauta ga nunjila ga kwenda pakaya shiilu sha a Yeshu. Lyubha lya Pumulila, gubhapumulilenje malinga shiyalajilwe na shalia.
And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.
