Luke 23 (GOFWFTW)

1He bessan shiiqida shanggoti ubbay denddidi Yesuusa Philaaxoosakko efidosona.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2“Ha uray nu asaa balethishin, kawuwas giira giironna mela diggishininne qassi, ‘Taani Kiristtoosa hintte kawuwa’ 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.”

3Philaaxoosi Yesuusa, “Neeni Ayhudeta kawoyye?” yaagidi oychchis. Yesuusi, “Ee, ne gidayssa mela” yaagis.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Philaaxoosi kahine halaqatakkonne asaakko, “Ha uraa bolla taani issi balakka demmabiikke” yaagis.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Shin entti, “Ha uray Galiilappe doomidi hayssa gakkanaw Yihuda kumethaa iitabaas 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.”

6Philaaxoosi hessa si7ida wode Yesuusi Galiila aseekko eranaw koyidi iya oychchis.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Yesuusi Heroodisa biittaafe yida asi gideyssa Philaaxoosi erida wode Heroodisi he wode Yerusalaamen de7iya gisho iyaakko yeddis.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Heroodisi Yesuusa be7anaw daro wodeppe koyishe de7iya gisho, iya be7ida wode daro ufayttis. Ays giikko, iyabaa si7ida gisho malaalisiyabaa oothin be7anaw amottishe 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.

9Heroodisi Yesuusa daro oyshota oychchis, shin I aykkoka zaaribeenna.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

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

11Herodisaranne iya wotaaddaretara Yesuusa kadhidosonanne leqisidosona. Bonchcho afilaa mayzidi Philaaxoosakko zaaridi yeddidosona.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Herodisaranne Philaaxoosara kase morkkeshin he gallas wolla giigidosona.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

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

14“ ‘Ha uray asaa geellatethas denthethees’ gidi taakko ehideta. Takka hintte sinthan pilggada hintte shiishida mootuwas aybi balakka demmabiikke.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.

15Heroodisi, hessatho aybi balakka iya bolla demmiboonna gisho nuukko yeddis. Tumakka ha uray hayqos gathiya aybi balakka 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 Faasikka Baale wode issi asi enttaw billanayssi iyaw attonnabaa gidiya gishossa.Not in the BSB

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

19Barbbaani katamaa giddon asaa iitabaas denthethidi ase wodhdhidi qashettida asi.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

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

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

22Philaaxoosi heedzantho, “Ha uray qohidabay aybe? Wodhos gathiya bala ta demmabiikke. 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.”

23Entti bantta qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Kaqettanaw bessees” gidi minthi waassidosona. Entta waasoykka xoonis.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Entta oyshaa gisho, gidi Philaaxoosi iya bolla pirddis.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Asaa iitabaas denthetheyssanne ase wodhdhidi qashettidayssa bilettana mela woossida, he uraa enttaw billis. Shin Yesuusa entti koyidabaa oothana mela enttaw aathi immis.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Yesuusa oykkidi efishin Simoona giya Qerena biitta addey gaxareppe yishin, demmidi masqaliya toossidi Yesuusa kaallidi baana mela un77ethidosona.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 bantta tiraa iccishe yeekkiya maccasati iya guyiyara kaalloosona.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Shin Yesuusi enttako guye simmidi, “Hinttenoo, Yerusalaame maccasato, hintte huu7esinne hintte naytas yeekkiteppe attin taw yeekkofite.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29‘Hekko maynthati, yelonna ulotinne dhanthonna dhanthati anjjettidosona’ hintte 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 kunddite’, zumatakka, ‘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 waatanddeshsha?” yaagis.For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Iyara wodhanaw hara nam77u worandzota efidosonaTwo others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Qeeraniyo geetettiya bessaa gathidi kaqqidosona. Worandzotappe issuwa ushachcha baggara hankkuwa haddirssa baggara kaqqidosona.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, entti ay oothiyako eronna gisho, neeni enttaw atto yaaga” yaagis. Entti iya afilaa bolla saama yeggidi shaakettidi ekkidosona.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 eqqidi xeellosona, shin deriya haareyssati, “Harata ashshis; Xoossay doorida Kiristtoosi iya gidikko ane bana ashsho” yaagidi leqisidosona.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 iyaakko shiiqidi, caala woyne ushshaa immidosona.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Yaatidi, “Neeni Ayhudeta kawo gidikko ne huu7iya ashsha” yaagidi leqisidosona.“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Iyaw huu7e baggara, “Hayssi Ayhudeta kawo” yaagiya xuufey de7ees.Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Kaqettida worandzotappe issoy cashshe sa7ara goochchishe, “Ane neeni Kiristtoosa gidikko, nenakka nunakka 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 hankko worandzoy, “Neeni hayssa mela pirddan de7ashe hari attoshin, Xoossaas yayyikii?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Nuuni nu balaas bessiya pirdda ekkoos, shin ha uray issi iitabaakka oothibeenna” yaagidi hanqettis.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 qoppa” yaagis.Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

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

44He gallas usuppun saateppe bidi uddufun saate gakkanaw away poo7uwa diggida gisho, biitta ubbaa bolla dhuma gidis. Xoossa Keetha magaraajjoy daakettidi nam77an shaakettis.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

46Yesuusi, qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Ta aawaw, ta ta shemppiw ne kushen sheedhdhays” yaagidi hayqqis.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, hanidayssa be7idi, “Hayssi uray tumakka xillo” yaagidi Xoossaa galatis.When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Ha haniyabaa be7anaw he bessaa shiiqida asay ubbay hanidabaa be7ida wode bantta tiraa iccishe bantta 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 asay ubbay, hessadakka Galiilappe kaallidi yida maccasati hessa be7ishe haahon eqqidosona.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Ayhude shanggotappe issoy, Yoosefa geetettiya uray de7ees. I Armmatiyasa geetettiya Yihuda katamaappe yis. I lo77onne Xillo asi gidiya gisho Xoossaa kawotethaa yuussaa naagees. Shanggotappe issuwa gidishe entta zoretethaaninne oosuwan deenna.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

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

53Philaaxoosi ekka yaagin, Yesuusa ahaa wodhisidi afilara xaaxis. Zaallafe woocidi kessida hara asi moogettonna 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.

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

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

56Yaappe simmidi shittonne qibaatiya giigisidosona. Higgey kiitteyssa mela Sambbaata gallas shemppi pee7idosona.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
