Luke 23 (GOFL) · Opened

1He bessan shiiqida shangoti ubbay dendidi Yesuusa Philaxoosako efidosona.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2“Ha uray nu asaa balethishin, kawas giira giironna mela diggishininne qassi, ‘Taani Kiristoosa hinte kawa’ yaagishin demmida” yaagidi mootidosona.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.”

3Philaxoosi Yesuusa, “Neeni Ayhudeta kawo?” yaagidi oychis. Yesuusi, “Ee, ne gidaysa mela” yaagis.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Philaxoosi kahine halaqatakonne asaako, “Ha uraa bolla taani issi balaka demmabike” yaagis.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Shin enti, “Ha uray Galilape doomidi haysa gakanaw Yihuda kumetha iitabas denthethees” yaagidi minthi odidosona.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.”

6Philaxoosi hessa si7ida wode Yesuusi Galila aseeko eranaw koyidi iya oychis.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Yesuusi Herodiisa biittafe yida asi gideysa Philaxoosi erida wode Herodiisi he wode Yerusalaamen de7iya gisho iyako yeddis.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Herodiisi Yesuusa be7anaw daro wodepe koyishe de7iya gisho, iya be7ida wode daro ufaytis. Ayis giiko, iyabaa si7ida gisho malaalsiyaba oothin be7anaw amotishe de7ees.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.

9Herodiisi Yesuusa daro oyshota oychis, shin I aykoka zaaribeenna.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Kahineta halaqatinne higge astamaareti yan eqidi minthidi iya mootosona.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Herodiisaranne iya wotaadaretara Yesuusa kadhidosonanne leqsidosona. Boncho afila mayzidi Philaxoosako zaaridi yeddidosona.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Herodiisaranne Philaxoosara kase morkeshin he gallas wolla giigidosona.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Philaxoosi kahine halaqata, asaa haareysatanne asaa xeegidi,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14“ ‘Ha uray asaa geellatethas denthethees’ gidi taako ehideta. Taka hinte sinthan pilgada hinte shiishida mootuwas aybi balaka demmabike.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.

15Herodiisi, hessatho aybi balaka iya bolla demmiboonna gisho nuuko yeddis. Tumaka ha uray hayqos gathiya aybi balaka oothibeenna.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Hessa gisho, iya garaafada billa yeddana” yaagis.Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Hessa I giday Paasika Ba7aale wode issi asi entaw billanaysi iyaw attonnaba gidiya gishosa.Not in the BSB

18Derey ubbay issi bolla, “Ha uraa gede digga, nuus Barbaana billa” yaagidi waassidosona.But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Barbaani katamaa giddon asaa iitabas denthethidi ase wodhidi qashetida asi.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Philaxoosi Yesuusa billanaw koyidi asaas zaari odis.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Gidoshin, asay, “Kaqa! Kaqa!” yaagidi waassidosona.but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Philaxoosi heedzantho, “Ha uray qohidabay aybee? Wodhos gathiya bala ta demmabike. Hessa gisho, garaafada yedda aggana” yaagis.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.”

23Enti banta qaala dhoqu oothidi, “Kaqetanaw bessees” gidi minthi waassidosona. Enta waasoyka xoonis.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Enta oysha gisho, gidi Philaxoosi iya bolla pirdis.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Ase iitabas denthethidaysanne ase wodhidi qashetidaysa billana mela woossida gisho he uraa entaw billis. Shin Yesuusa enti koydaba oothana mela entaw aathidi immis.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Yesuusa oykidi efishin Simoona geetetiya Qereena biitta addey gaxarepe yishin, demmidi masqaliya toossidi Yesuusa kaallidi baana mela un7ethidosona.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.

27Daro asaynne banta tiraa iccishe yeekiya maccasati iya guyera kaalloosona.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Shin Yesuusi entako guye simmidi, “Hinteno, Yerusalaame maccasato, hinte huuphesinne hinte naytas yeekitepe attishin, taw yeekofite.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29‘Heko maynthati, yelonna ulotinne dhanthonna dhanthati anjetidosona’ hinte yaagana gallasay yaana.Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30He wode dereta, ‘Nu bolla kundite’, zumataka, ‘Nuna kammite’ yaagana.At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Hiza, qaye mithaa hessatho oothiko mela mithaa waatandesha?” yaagis.For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Iyara wodhanaw hara nam7u worandzota efidosona.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Qeraaniyo geetetiya bessaa gathidi kaqidosona. Worandzotape issuwa ushacha baggara hankuwa haddirsa baggara kaqidosona.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.

34Yesuusi, “Ta aawaw, enti ay oothiyako eronna gisho, neeni entaw atto yaaga” yaagis. Enti iya afilaa bolla saama yeggidi shaaketidi ekidosona.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Asay eqidi xeelloosona, shin deriya haareysati, “Harata ashshis; Xoossay doorida Kiristoosi iya gidiko ane bana asho” yaagidi leqsidosona.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.”

36Wotaaddareti iyako shiiqidi, caala woyne ushsha immidosona.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Yaatidi, “Neeni Ayhudeta kawo gidiko ne huuphiya ashsha” yaagidi leqsidosona.“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Iyaw huuphe baggara, “Haysi Ayhudeta kawo” giya xuufey de7ees.Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Kaqetida worandzotape issoy cashshe sa7ara goochishe, “Ane neeni Kiristoosa gidiko, nenaka nunaka ashsha” yaagis.One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Shin hanko worandzoy, “Neeni haysa mela pirdan de7ashe hari attoshin, Xoossas yayyikii?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Nuuni nu oothida nagaraa gisho bessiya pirda ekoos, shin ha uray issi iitabaa oothibeenna” yaagidi hanqetis.We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Qassika, “Yesuusa, ne ne kawotethaara yaa wode tana qopa” yaagis.Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yesuusi, “Ta new tuma odayis; hachi neeni taara gannaten gidana” yaagis.And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44He gallas usupun saatepe bidi uddufun saate gakanaw away poo7uwa diggida gisho, biitta ubbaa bolla dhuma gidis. Xoossa Keetha geshey daaketidi nam7an shaaketis.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

46Yesuusi, qaala dhoqu oothidi, “Ta aawaw, ta ta shempiw ne kushen sheedhayis” yaagidi hayqis.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.

47Mato halaqay, hanidaysa be7idi, “Haysi uray tumaka xillo” yaagidi Xoossaa galatis.When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Ha haniyaba be7anaw he bessaa shiiqida asa ubbay hanidaba be7ida wode banta tiraa iccishe banta soo simmidosona.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Gidoshin, Yesuusa matan eriya asa ubbay, hessadaka Galilape kaallidi yida maccasati hessa be7ishe haahon eqidosona.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Ayhude shangotape issoy, Yoosefa geetetiya uray de7ees. I Armaate geetetiya Yihuda katamaape yis. I lo77onne Xillo asi gidiya gisho Xoossaa kawotethaa yuussaa naagees. Shangotape issuwa gidishe enta zoretethaaninne oosuwan deenna.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

52He uray Philaxoosako bidi, Yesuusa aha mooganaw taw imma gidi woossis.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Philaxoosi eka yaagin, Yesuusa aha wodhisidi afilara xaaxis. Zaallafe woocidi kessida hara asi moogetonna ooratha duufon wothis.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.

54Sambaati gelana haniya gisho, he gallasay giigetetha qamma.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Galilape dendidi Yesuusa kaallidi yida maccasati Yoosefara bidi iya aha waati moogiyako duufuwa akeekidi be7idosona.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Yaape simmidi shittonne qibaate giigisidosona. Higgey kiitteysa mela Sambaata gallas shempi pee7idosona.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
