Luke 23 (BREBRG)

1Neuze an holl dud-se, o vezañ savet, a zegasas anezhañ da Bilat.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Hag en em lakajont d'e damall, o lavarout: Ni hon eus kavet an den-mañ o tromplañ ar bobl hag o tifenn paeañ ar gwir da Gezar, o lavarout eo ar C'hrist, ar roue.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.”

3Pilat a reas outañ ar goulenn-mañ: Bez' out-te roue ar Yuzevien? Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: Te en lavar.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Pilat a lavaras d'ar veleien vras ha d'ar bobl: Ne gavan netra da damall en den-mañ.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Met int a zalc'he, o lavarout: Sevel a ra ar bobl, o kelenn dre holl Judea, o vezañ en graet adalek Galilea, betek amañ.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.”

6Pa glevas Pilat komz eus Galilea, e c'houlennas hag e oa Galileat an den-se.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Hag o vezañ gouezet e oa eus dalc'h Herodez, e kasas anezhañ da Herodez, hag a oa e Jeruzalem en deizioù-se.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Herodez, pa welas Jezuz, a voe laouen, rak pell e oa en devoa c'hoant d'e welout, abalamour m'en devoa klevet lavarout kalz a draoù diwar e benn, hag e c'hortoze e welout oc'h ober ur mirakl bennak.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.

9Ober a reas eta meur a c'houlenn outañ; met Jezuz ne respontas netra dezhañ.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Ar veleien vras hag ar skribed a oa eno, hag a damalle anezhañ gwashañ ma c'hellent.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Met Herodez, gant tud e ward, a zisprizas anezhañ; hag evit ober goap anezhañ, e lakaas gwiskañ dezhañ ur sae splann, hag e tistroas anezhañ da Bilat.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12En deiz-se, Herodez ha Pilat a zeuas da vezañ mignoned; rak a-raok e oant enebourien.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Neuze Pilat, o vezañ dastumet ar veleien vras, mistri ar vro, hag ar bobl, a lavaras dezho:Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Degaset hoc'h eus din an den-se evel m'en dije savet ar bobl, ha goude bezañ graet goulennoù outañ dirazoc'h, ne'm eus ket e gavet kiriek da hini ebet eus an torfedoù a damallit dezhañ,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.

15nag Herodez kennebeut, rak ho kaset em eus d'e gavout; ha setu n'en deus graet netra a vefe din a varv.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16O vezañ eta graet e gastizañ, e laoskin anezhañ.Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Ret e oa dezhañ leuskel unan dezho e deiz ar gouel.Not in the BSB

18Neuze e krijont holl a-unan: Laka hemañ d'ar marv, ha laosk deomp Barabbaz.But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Hemañ a oa bet lakaet er prizon evit un dispac'h c'hoarvezet e kêr, hag ur muntr.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilat, o kaout c'hoant da leuskel Jezuz, a gomzas outo a-nevez.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Met int a grias: Ouzh ar groaz! Ouzh ar groaz!but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Eñ a lavaras dezho evit an trede gwech: Met peseurt droug en deus graet? Ne'm eus kavet ennañ netra hag a vefe din a varv. E gastizañ a rin hag e laoskin anezhañ.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.”

23Met int a gendalc'he, o c'houlenn gant kriadegoù bras ma vije staget ouzh ar groaz; hag o c'hriadennoù ha re ar veleien vras a greske.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Neuze Pilat a varnas ober evel ma felle dezho.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Leuskel a reas dezho an hini a oa bet lakaet er prizon evit un dispac'h hag evit ur muntr, hag a oa an hini a c'houlennent; hag e lezas Jezuz d'o bolontez.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Hag evel ma kasent anezhañ, e kemerjont un den anvet Simon a Siren, a zistroe eus ar parkeier, hag e lakajont anezhañ da zougen ar groaz, war lerc'h Jezuz.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.

27Ur vandenn vras a bobl hag a wragez en heulie, hag en em c'hlac'hare hag a hirvoude diwar e benn.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Jezuz, o tistreiñ etrezek enno, a lavaras dezho: Merc'hed Jeruzalem, na ouelit ket diwar va fenn, met gouelit warnoc'h hoc'h-unan ha war ho pugale,But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29rak deizioù a zeuio ma vo lavaret: Eürus ar merc'hed difrouezh, ar c'hofoù n'o deus ket ganet, hag an divronn n'o deus ket maget!Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Neuze en em lakaint da lavarout d'ar menezioù: Kouezhit warnomp! ha d'ar grec'hiennoù: Goloit ac'hanomp!At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Rak ma reer an traoù-mañ d'ar c'hoad glas, petra a vo graet d'ar c'hoad sec'h?For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Hag e kased ivez daou dorfedour, evit o lakaat da vervel gantañ.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Pa voent deuet el lec'h anvet Klopenn, e stagjont anezhañ ouzh ar groaz eno, hag an dorfedourien ivez, unan a-zehou hag egile a-gleiz.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.

34Jezuz a lavare: Tad, pardon dezho, rak n'ouzont ket ar pezh a reont. Neuze e lodennjont e zilhad, ouzh o zeurel d'ar sord.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Ar bobl en em zalc'he eno, hag a selle. Mistri ar vro hag ar bobl a rae goap anezhañ, o lavarout: Saveteet en deus ar re all, ra en em saveteo e-unan, mar deo ar C'hrist, an hini dibabet gant Doue!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.”

36Ar soudarded ivez, o tostaat evit kinnig gwinegr dezhañ, a rae goap outañ,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37o lavarout: Mar dout roue ar Yuzevien, en em savete da-unan.“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Ha bez' e oa a-us d'e benn ar skrid-mañ, e gresianeg, e latin hag en hebraeg: HEMAÑ EO ROUE AR YUZEVIEN.Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Unan eus an dorfedourien a oa kroazstaget a zismegañse ivez anezhañ, o lavarout: Mar dout ar C'hrist, en em savete da-unan, ha ni ivez.One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Met egile, o krozal dezhañ, a lavaras: Ne zoujez ket eta Doue, rak barnet out d'an hevelep poan?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Evidomp-ni, ez eo gant reizhder, rak e resevomp hervez hon torfedoù, met hemañ n'en deus graet droug ebet.We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Hag e lavare da Jezuz: Aotrou, az pez soñj ac'hanon, pa zeui ez rouantelezh.Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Jezuz a lavaras dezhañ: Me en lavar dit e gwirionez, hiziv e vi ganin er baradoz.And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Bez' e oa war-dro ar c'hwec'hvet eur, hag e voe teñvalijenn war an douar holl, betek an navet eur.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45An heol a deñvalaas, ha gouel an templ a rogas dre e greiz.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Ha Jezuz en ur grial a vouezh uhel, a lavaras: Va Zad, lakaat a ran va spered etre da zaouarn! O vezañ lavaret kement-se, e varvas.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.

47Ar c'hantener, o welout ar pezh a oa c'hoarvezet, a roas gloar da Zoue, o lavarout: A dra sur, an den-mañ a oa reizh.When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48An holl bobl hag a oa en em zastumet eno, o welout kement-se, a yeas kuit en ur skeiñ war boull o c'halon.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49An holl re a anaveze anezhañ, hag ar gwragez o devoa e heuliet adalek Galilea, en em zalc'he a-bell, hag a selle ouzh an traoù-se.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Un den anvet Jozef, ur c'huzulier-meur, un den mat ha reizh,Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51un den n'en devoa ket roet e ali d'o diviz na d'o oberoù, o tont eus Arimatea, kêr eus ar Yuzevien, a c'hortoze ivez rouantelezh Doue;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.

52o vezañ deuet da gavout Pilat, e c'houlennas outañ korf Jezuz.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53O vezañ e ziskennet eus ar groaz, en goloas gant ul lienenn, hag e lakaas anezhañ en ur bez toullet er roc'h, e-lec'h ne oa bet c'hoazh lakaet den.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.

54Bez' e oa deiz ar c'hempennadur, hag ar sabad a zeue.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Ar gwragez deuet eus Galilea gant Jezuz, o vezañ heuliet Jozef, a welas ar bez ha penaos e oa lakaet korf Jezuz e-barzh.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Hag o vezañ distroet, ec'h aozjont louzoù a c'hwez-vat ha frondoù, hag e tiskuizhjont deiz ar sabad, hervez al lezenn.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
