Luke 23 (AQK) · Opened

1Asi amun kop etum na bing boboˈ ta gir Yesu ta koma iti Bilatus.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Asi aba bwar wu tadi, “Kwara ni yik awama adibi kpura andishir mbor, adi ba, kɨr aba wang Kaisar ankor mmimi baˈ. Adibi di, awa si Kristi etum.”And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

3Asi Bilatus a rip wu tadi, “Wa si etum ani Yahuda yi?” Yesu adi, “Wani ban asima.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Asi Bilatus adi abi tok ankpur ankpyingkpyaˈ ne andishir, “Ba ngga ni yik, ndishira ma na chok kinung ara baˈ.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Asi ba rima dibi tir ngbanggbang tadi, “Ni tsar ma yani chok asusun andishir ra boboˈ igar Yahudiya. Na tsoˈ ari Galili, adza'a awa iba kama.”But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

6Mi Bilatus na wo ama, si awa arip, ta di, “Asi ndishir ni Galili yi?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Mi na wo adi Yesu ari gar kami Hiridus asi etum ma, si wa adi aba gir Yesu ta koma ni Hiridus, nkpang ku ma Hiridus asi Rushelima.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Hiridus na nyer awowon mi na yik Yesu, tsori mi awa na dibi ti ba yik wu, naka amin wo ane reng ama ta dibi nne susun ayi aba yik kinung nik shishi yami Yesu ati ka nam.When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

9Asi Hiridus na rip wu nidum, nema Yesu bana na diwu kinung baˈ.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Asi abi tok ankpur ankpyingkpyaˈ ne abi tsar Musa bana na tir mgbamgban ta ban anareng ambombom itu ku Yesu.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Asi Hiridus nebi rop akpa na mmar nawu, siba gyap wu, ta sung wu antur ankpyaˈ, siba gir wu ta kam akoma nibi Bilatus.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Asi arika ma ani Hiridus nebi Bilatus bana vung dzidzen ne akpa man, atu yami ba bana min ata akpa man anyima baˈ.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Bilatus na bing abi tok ankpur ankpyingkpyaˈ, nebi ningur atum nebi andishir boboˈ,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14si adi ba, “Gina ni gir gin ngga ndishira, adi adibi chok andishir. Adza'a ngga ni rip wu iti min, ba ngga ni yik wu na tara mi na gir wu nyima itimung baˈ.and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

15Nema Hiridus, siya dung na gir wu akama nga ayang na kwara. Ba kinung yami ndishira ma na nam yami ni mmar aba nwun wu.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Yati sima ati tsik wu ta gyoˈ wu aba koma kima.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17I kowuni gang yi Zor asi Bilatus aya gyoˈ ndishir gin awami na kung wu, awami andishir bata ben.Not in the BSB

18Nema siba ti akwa zagin ta di, “Aba gir wu ta riti, aba gyoˈ kwara Barnabas.”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Awami na kung wu jaru atu ayami na chok asusun ara ntun na, ti dung bana nwun ndishir.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Asi Bilatus aya kama reng naba, ta ti aba gyoˈ Yesu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Asi ba dibi ti akwa, siba adi, “Aba mkpang ta kor wu. Aba mkpang ta kor wu.”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Bilatus na nanam adi ba adza tar, “Atu yi ani? Asi zup mbombom tama ndishira ma na nam? Ba ngga ni yik wu na chok kinung ara yami ni mar aba nwun wu baˈ. Ngga dung atsik wu, ta gyoˈ wu.”A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

23Asiba kak ta tir gbangbang, tadi seba mkpang ta kor wu. I tong tera bana ri kong.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Bilatus ato si awak amoˈ ayami bana ta nyima.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Asi agyoˈ Barnabas awami adi aba gyoˈ, awami na girwu ta arir jaru atu yami na chok asusun ara ta nwun nung. Asi Bilatus anik ba Yesu towa, gina bi nam wu ki yami gina ni yik.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Mi abi rop akpa bana gir Yesu, ta si ming ku tsin, siba mara kpa nibi nung agyo wu ti Siman, ndishir ni Sayirin, atsin na ri vin ntun. Siba vung wu, ta tsoˈ angau asaˈ wu aba sur ta dzip Yesu gong.As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

27Andishir nidum awowon bana dibi dzip wu, ming mana ti vung amba abami agin, siba chira atong atu ma.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Nema Yesu na kama to ta diba, amba bi Rushelima, kɨr gina bi gin atumung, gina bi gin atumin nibi amumun na min.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Nkpang ka nyi kami andishir ba di, asi kiyi nyer nebi amba abami bana dzen na anyira to baˈ, abami baba nyir baˈ, awa mi bana dzen amang ake ama baˈ.Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Bata di gbu, “Wabi roku itu mbor.” Bati yadi akumgbu, “Aba ba kung kwara.”At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Tasi mi ati nam kiyama nkunkun nyinyin, kati si are in kasi nkunkun kukur?For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Na ya gir andishir anung a waa abami na tara ti aba nwun ba ndo nibi Yesu.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Mi bana rir abum awami agyo wu ti, “Akpawe itu,” siba mkpang ta kor wu abumma, ndo nibi andishir abi tara bama, gin ikoˈ rima, gin ikoˈ mwarma.When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.

34Asi Yesu adi ba, “Ada, wabi tsoˈ ba zup mbombom man agura, ti ba bana gi kiyami ba nam baˈ.” Siba agab akpa man ntuntur ma iba ku tun yi tsoˈ.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Andishir ba ku atir bi to. Aningur aman bana dibi bwar wu, siba di, “Na ta anung ashur, to, aba ta tuma gyoˈ, tiba to. Wati si Kristi awu Arik, ni tun ama.”The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

36Abi rop akpa ma siba bwar wu, ta koma siba nap wu mwamwang amashir inabi.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Siba ya di, “Wati si Etum ani Yahuda, ta tumi gyoˈ tin to.”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Shuma na wu, na tse tadi, “AWAMA ASI AWA SI ETUM ANI YAHUDA.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Gin ming ku abi nam zup mbombom abami na mkpang ta kor ba bing, areng wu mmar, si adi, “Ndi, asiwa sini si Kristi yi? Ta itumi gyoˈ, tika ya ta kwara shur noo!.”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Nema gin na tsing awuwu ma ta di, “Ba wa ti shishi Arik sang yi? Wa, mi na rop wa ananan na wu?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Kwara ba, na nam kwara ananan, ti kwara ni ta rop mbor atu yi kiyami kwara ni nam. Tasi awa, na nam zup mbombom tama?”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Naya di, “Wa Yesu, wabi shum ngga etum mi.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yesu na diwu, “Zup ngga ban wa, aring awa ma wati song ndo ni ngga gbarshu.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Abuma na tsutsu arik, ibuu ni kung boboˈ gar ntuna, gira ma ti koma tar ku arika gur.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Arik na dung der. Dinden kami si ming Kop Arik si ka nngar shur waa.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Asi Yesu agi kor gbangbang tadi, “Ada. Ming ayok ami ngga nik rim mung.” Na ban ama, asi agbur vɨrma ku tong ter siwa kuu.Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

47Ni rop akpa nkpyaˈ ni Roma awa mi basi bama na yik kiyami ni nam, asi wa agbar saˈ Arik ta adi, “Zup, ndishir awama asi awu Arik.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Mi andishir abami na bing ti aba to na yik kiyami ni nam, si kap man na akam ma koma kop ta dibi atsik asang aman.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Nema andishir abami na gi Yesu, nebi amba abami na dzip wu tsoˈ ri gar Galili, ba na tir shan ta dibi to.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Na ti ndishir nung ni saˈ Yusuf, asi gin ming ku aningur asi ndishir didik, Awani Yahuda, aya si ni nam ki didik,Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51awami bana ta nyima ni kiyami bana rop abing aba anam baˈ ari ntun nung yi Yahuda ming gar Arimatiya. Awa anyer etum ku Arik ka bi nyi.who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea and was waiting for the kingdom of God.

52Asi akoma ni Bilatus tiba ben aba nik wu kum Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Asi agir kum ma aji ma, ta rop ka ni kpaˈ antur lilin, ta gyoˈ ka gun nung kami na shep ka nkpang, yami bana dzen na gyoˈ nung ming baˈ.Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

54Arik ni nanam nam, ti nvi yi song shi ni tip nyi.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Amba abami na dzip Yesu ari Galili siba koma ndo neni Yusuf ti aba ti to mi guna ka sima tiba ya tanyima aba gyoˈ kum Yesu ma.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Nema si ba kam akoma kop, siba bing anyi shishim ni nuk kpa. Arik ni song shi yi Yahudawa, siba song ashi mi bang yi Musa ni ban.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
