Luke 23 (BOU) · Opened

1Naho wantu wose wakagooka, wakamwegaa Yesu hemeso ya Pilato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Wakavoka kumuhaiya masa wakagombeka, “Timbwiiya akitiiya wantu na kuwaemeza wasekuiha kodi kwa mkuu wa kilumi na kwetanga ati yee ni Klistu, Seuta.”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.”

3Pilato akamuuza Yesu, “Wee nee Seuta wa Wayahudi?” Yesu akamtambaisa, “Wee wagombeka.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Pilato akawamba waviki wakuu na zumwezumwe da wantu, “Nchekuona masa yoyose kwa mntu huyu.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Akini wowo wakahembeeza na kugombeka, “Awachonchea wantu kwa mahinyo yakwe mwe si yose ya Uyahudi, kavoka Galilaya na isasa yu hanu.”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.”

6Pilato ekutegeezayo ayo, akauza, “Ivi mntu huyu ni mwenyezi wa Galilaya?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Ekumanyaho kuwa Yesu alawa he hantu ha ugookezi wa Helode, akamwegaa kwa Helode, kisingi icho neekawa Yelusalemu.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Helode kawa na kinyemi muno ekumuonaho Yesu. Kwaviya kabinda kae kutegeeza mbui zakwe, na ivyo nekawa akauwiya kwa kisingi kilehacho kumuona kwa meso yakwe mwenye. Naho akakunda kuona ntangio zekugosolwazo ni Yesu,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.

9Ivyo Helode akamuuza Yesu mbui nyingi, akini Yesu khekumtambaisa.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Waviki wakuu na wahinyi wa miko wakalawiiya hemeso, wakamlavyia masa kwa ukai muno.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Naho Helode hamwe na asikai wakwe, wakambea Yesu na kumgosweeya mahoka, newamvika gwanda da kiseuta, wakamvuza kwa Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Kisingi icho Helode na Pilato, nee ni wambuya akini aho kae nee ni wamasa.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Naho, Pilato akawetanga hamwe waviki wakuu, wakuu na wantu,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14akawamba, “Mmweeta mntu huyu kwangu mkagombeka kuwa ne kawa awasongeeza wantu waemee ugookezi. Isasa tegeezani! Bada ya kumuuza mbui iyo hemeso yenu, nchekupata dodose da ufyaimi kuusu masa mwekuyaetayo hangu.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.

15Wala khio miye ikedu, iya hata Helode khekuona mbui ya ufyaimi yoyose, ivyo akamvuza vituhu kwetu. Mntu huyu khekugose mbui yoyose ya ufyaimi ambayo dendado dimtende akomwe.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Ivyo, nendaniwambe atoigwe makoto, mkabinda nimuwekee.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Kia sikukhuu ya Pasaka Pilato nee akundigwa kuwavuguiya wantu mfungwa yumwe.Not in the BSB

18Akini zumwezumwe dose dikatoa vuzo wakamba, “Mkome uyo, utivuguiye Balaba!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Balaba nee kagewa mwe kifungo kwaajii ya kugosoa khumbizi mwe mzi na kwaajii ya kukoma.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilato nee kakunda kumuekea Yesu, Ivyo akamba vituhu, na zumwezumwe da wantu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Akini wowo wakatoa vuzo, “Mgong'ondee he mhamba! Mgong'ondee he mhamba!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Pilato akawamba maa ya ntatu, “Kagosoa masa yani yakumtenda akomwe? Khiona ufyaimi wowose kwakwe akundigwao akomwe, kwa iyo nenda nimbade mumtoe makoto, mkabinda mwamuekea.”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.”

23Akini wowo wakatendesa kutoa vuzo kwa mgutio mkuu, kuwa Yesu nlazima agong'ondewe he mhamba. Kisiikizi, wakavota.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Naho, Pilato akaamua kiya wantu wekukundacho.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Akamvuguiya yuda mntu wekumkundaye kulawa mwe kifungo, ambaye nee kagewa mwe kifungo kwaajii ya kuemea ugookezi wa seekai ya kilumi, na akamwekhiiza Yesu kwao, wamgoswee viya wekukundavyo.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Wekuwaho wamwegaa, nee wakintana na mntu yumwe etagwaye Simoni wa Kulene, ekuwaye alawa chongoi ya mzi. Naho wakamgwiiya, wakamtwika uda mhamba audoe nyuma ya Yesu.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.

27Zumwezumwe kuu da wantu wakamtongea, gati yao awa neekuwa na wavyee wekuwao wakamwiiya na kutoa mbwaimbo.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yesu akawahitukia, akamba, “Nywie wavyee wa Yelusalemu! Msekuniiya mie, akini iyani kwaajii yenu wenye na kwaajii ya wana wenu.”But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Kwaviya, kwei misi zendazeze ambaho wenda wagombeke, “Wajaiwa wavyee wesaho kuwa na wana na wesao kuvyaa na kuokhesa wana!”Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Kisingi icho, ndiho wantu wenda wavoke kugombeka miima mikuu, “Tiguieni! Na viima vidodo, ‘Tigubikeni!’ ”At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Kwaviya wantu waugosweeya mti muisi namna inu, indaiwe viivihi kwa mti wekunyaao?For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Masikai wakawadoa wantu watuhu waidi mabagaa, wakomwe hamwe naye.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Wekubuwaho hantu hetwangwao, “Fufu da Mtwi,” naho wakamgong'ondea Yesu he mhamba. Wada mabagaa waidi wakagong'endewa kia yumwe he mhamba wakwe, yumwe phande ya kuume na mtuhu phande ya kumoso.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.

34Yesu akamba, “Tate, waekee kwa viya khawamanya wagosoado.” Naho wakapangana magwanda yakwe kwa kuyatoeya kula.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Wantu ne wawa wagooka hada wakakauwa. Nawo waongoezi wa Kiyahudi wakambeya na kumsizigia wakagombeka, “Kawaohowa watuhu, isasa na eohoe mwenye, inga yee ne Klistu, mwekusagulwa ni Muungu!”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.”

36Asikai nao nee wambea, wakamtimia wakamwekha divai yekusasayoThe soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37naho wakamba, “Inga kwei wee nee Seuta wa Wayahudi eohoe mwenye.”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Nee waika kibao chekundikwacho, “Uyu nee Seuta wa Wayahudi.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Yumwe wa wada mabagaa wekugong'ondwae he mhamba, akamdumuwa akamba, “Ati wee nee Klistu? Eohoe mwenye, utuohoe na swiswi.”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Akini yuda bagaa mtuhu akamwakia mweziwe akagombeka, “Wee khumuogoha Muungu? Wee kwekhigwa sugusa iyoiyo?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Wee na miye niamuiwa kwa haki, kwaviya haya ni maiho ya yada tekugosoayo. Akini mntu uyu khekugosoa dodose da ufyaimu.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Naho akagombeka, “Ee Yesu! Unikumbuke kisingi wendaho wengie mwe Useuta wako.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yesu akamtambaisa, “Nakwamba kwa kwei, ivyeoo wendauwe hamwe hantu ha Muungu.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Nee yapata saa mtandatu wa musi, zua dikabada kumwiika, kiza kikagubika si wose yose hadi saa kenda,It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45na pazia dekuwado dikepanga sehemu mbii he Nyumba ya Muungu dikatatuka kuvoka uwanga hadi asi.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Yesu akaiya kwa mgutio mkuu, “Tate, he mikono yako naika muye wangu.” Ekubindaho kutamwiiya ayo, akauya na nyuma.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.

47Aho, yuda mkuu wa maasikai ekuonaho yekulawiiayo akamtogoa Muungu akamba, “Kwei uyu ne kawa mntu yedi.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Wantu wada wose wekuitaho kwaajii ya mbui iyo, wekuonaho ayo yekulawiiayo wakauya mwe nyumba zao waketoa vifua kwa usungu.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Wantu wose wekummnyao vitana hamwe na wada wavyee wekutongeana naye kulawa Galilaya, ne wakagooka kwa hae kukauwa mbui iyo.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Naho kuwa na mntu yumwe zina dakwe Yusufu, mwenyezi wa mzi umwe wa Wayahudi wetagwao Alimataya. Nee kawa mntu yedi atunywae.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51Nee kawa akakauwiiya kweza kwa Useuta wa Muungu. Etiho nekawa mwenyezi wa Alimataya, yumwe wa wagookezi wakuu wa mkonga wa Wayahudi, nee khayekumtamia ida mbui yao ya kumkoma Yesu.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.

52Naho yee Yusufu akaita kwa Pilato akaombeza ekhigwe mwii wa Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Nee auseeza mwii uwo kulawa he mhamba akauzengeteza sanda ntana, akauwika mwe mbiya dekuwado disongolwa mwe iwe, ambado khadizati kugewa mntu yoyose.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.

54Msi uwo nee maandaio ya Msi wa Kuhumuiza nee iwa yavoka.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Wada wavyee wekutongeana na Yesu kulawa Galilaya wakambasa Yusufu wakoona diya mbiya na mwii wakwe Yesu wekuikwavyo.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Nee wauya kaya, wakayagosoa manukato na mavuta matana ya malashi kwaajii ya kuusisa mwii wa Yesu. Msi wa Kuhumuiza wakahumuiza inga miko ya Musa yekugombekavyo.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
