Luke 23 (HWO) · Opened

1Tǝrgha mamngya Yahudayini heu thliinda tǝ Yeeso a mbed Mbilatus ɗǝ.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Katǝrang ngganda ɗahang nda fa, “Ɗǝghan wal niifɗiya a tsang teena nafinǝm. Nagha a ndang nda kanda a teng nda tsamnda Kaisar wa, tǝ ƙǝm wai ndǝghǝnni Ƙǝrǝsti, kutǝra.”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.”

3Tsahangga Mbilatus mee Yeeso, “Sani na kutǝr Yahudaya wa?” Nggǝmangga Yeeso ndǝghǝn, “Nǝghǝn kee, ƙǝla thlǝkna.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Tǝrgha ndangga Mbilatus mamnda firistaya, tǝ fiya na heu a mbǝɗi, “Nggi nawi niifɗiya tǝ ɗimiyirha fa wa.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Ɗǝnda mbeeɗǝ tǝ ɗahang fa tǝ ndaarha, “Tsahadghǝn ha nǝghǝn a tsang teena fiya a chehweed Yahudiya na heu. Katǝranggen hai a Nggalili har ta mbǝɗa ɓa ya.”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.”

6Sǝkna Mbilatus ndǝn kee, Tsakhmee nǝn tǝ ndaarha, “Tǝ Nggalilarha ni wa?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Sǝknǝn ndaarha kyagha Yeeso ɓa a manɗi na Hirdus a ǝna kutǝryirha sǝ, thlǝnanggǝn Yeeso a thlǝmad Hirdus ɗǝ, ƙǝsǝr a farɗi nǝghǝn a Urshelima.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Nana Hirdus Yeeso, tǝk mbǝnda nǝn fa kaan, ƙǝsǝr ka ƙǝtǝm na midghǝn sǝ a nang yirha nǝn fa. Aten ǝngya ˈwaa nǝn sǝkrha atenggǝn, na midghǝn sǝ a ǝna ǝnwulteena nǝn.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.

9Hirdus tsahang miiya nǝn ha hangga, amma Yeeso kalwa sǝ wa.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Mamnda firistaya tǝ famalǝmngya ngyakhrha kanda a mbee ƙǝƙǝt a ɗahang pathya fa.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Tǝrgha Hirdus tǝ sodjayighǝn sarangganda ɗǝ tǝ ƙǝm waghǝnda. A mbǝɗi kalang kaɓarha nda fa yi kutǝryirha, wuɗangganda thlǝmad Mbilatus ɗǝ.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Hirdus tǝ Mbilatus afar ɗani tsaunanda pashiyi, ƙǝsǝr ka ƙǝtǝm mba nda kalang ndan sǝ wa.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Mbilatus aah mamnda firistaya nǝn ɓa, tǝ mamngya tǝ fiya na hǝu.Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Ndanggǝn kanda, “Ɓeenun niifɗa ɓa ya tǝ ndaarha nǝghǝn a tsang teena fiya. Nanǝnya, raɗi mu pathɗa haya tǝ tsakh miiya tsahang ni a mbennun, walanggi tǝ ˈya na ɗimi tǝ ndanun wa.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.

15Hirdus ƙǝm nawa ndǝn tǝ ɗimiyirha fa wa, ndǝghǝn ɗani wuɗang nǝn thlǝmad nǝm ɓa. Mbǝ ˈyasǝ ǝnana kamshiɗiya tsǝkka a ɓǝlanggǝm wa.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Nanǝn kee, niya tsaɗaghǝn kee kalghǝni hai.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

18Kanda heu tǝrang ngganda urandan sǝ tǝ ndaarha, “Ɓǝlamam kamshiɗiya! Kalaman Mbarabas kan hai!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Muwangganda Mbarabas ƙǝnɗǝ ka tǝbǝnggidghǝn ǝna nǝn ahu talaɗǝ na manggǝn, tǝ ɓǝlang nǝn niifa.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Mbilatus na midghǝnsǝ a kal Yeeso nǝn hai, nggǝrghǝn kalang kanda sǝ.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Amma karnda fa na nda a huhwarha tǝ ndaarha, “Tawaman ɗǝ! Tawaman ɗǝ!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Katǝra mahan Mbilatus a kalang kanda sǝ, “Kama nda? Ɗimiyid ma ǝna na kamshiɗiya? Nggi nawi ndǝn tǝ ɗimiyirha tsǝkka a ɓǝlang nggǝm wa. Niya fǝrghǝn tsaɗaghǝn nda kalghǝn nda hai.”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.”

23Amma isha nda aten path ndan, na mindan sǝ tawangganda ɗǝ. A kwasamadghǝn huhwan ndan kalɗǝ mbǝrha mu.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Mbilatus ƙǝm ǝnagha ƙǝla na mindan.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Kal niifɗa nǝn hai tǝ muwang nanda hu porsǝna ɗǝ ka tǝbǝnggidghǝn ǝna nǝn, tǝ ɓǝlang nǝn niifa ƙǝla tsakhna nda. Fǝrang Yeeso nǝn kanda, ƙǝla na mindan.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Na nanda a wiirha tǝ Yeeso, ƙǝma nda tǝ niifa nanda aarha Siman tǝ Sayirarha. Ndǝghǝn ɓayi ahu tala na ngguchit, ngyaɓang tǝr kaɗidɗa nda fa, tǝranggǝn mbu samad Yeeso nǝn.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.

27Fiya hangga mbuwa samadghǝn, ahur ndan ƙǝm nishya sǝ na a tǝrha tǝ huhwarha ka ndǝghǝn.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Kyahargha Yeeso hai, ndanggǝn kanda, “Nishya Urshelima, a tǝɗun ka nggi wa, tama ka alten nun, tǝ wangginun.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Ƙǝsǝr na fara ɓayi, ɓa nun ndaarha, ‘Fa parkayani kwarengya, tǝ hurya ˈwawa wa nggǝtta tǝ ɓee iwana wee iirha!’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Tǝrgha “‘Na fiya a ndang nda wumngya, “Muwa ma tennan hai!” Ndang ngganda mbǝya na ɗangkam, ɗangkam, “Nggǝlaman kan!” ’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31A ǝna fiya ǝngginiya ndǝghǝn ɗǝfrha ɓalɗǝ nduwun, mani katǝrarha hai a hwarɗǝ?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Nafiya sǝri, fa mbǝlfeeya, wii nda tǝ kanda ka a ɓǝlangganda kanda tǝ Yeeso.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Ɓa nanda mbǝɗa ɓa na nda aarha Mbǝd Ɓalhwar Teena, a mbǝɗa ni tawang nanda ɗǝ tǝ fa ɗimiya sǝri, tal a yisǝmadghǝn tal ƙǝm a yi kawadghǝn.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.

34Ndagha Yeeso, “Pǝpa, chahanggǝn kanda ɗǝ, ƙǝsǝr sǝngwanda ǝnɗi nanda a ǝnaarha wa.” Əna wura nda aten lukkighǝn.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Ishgha fiya hai kanda a ƙǝlarha. Mamngini ƙǝm kanda a waghǝn, nanda a ndaarha, “Hǝrghanggǝn fingya, a hǝrghanggǝn altenggǝn ƙǝm lee, ana ndǝghǝnni Ƙǝrǝsti, Wurra Faara!”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.”

36Sodjaya ƙǝm ɓa nda ɓa nanda a waghǝn. Fǝrang aam inabi nda sǝ na chichakh.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Ndang ngganda, “Ana kutǝr Yahudayani sa hǝrghang altenwa lee!”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Aman tenggǝn ƙǝm chirethlengganda hai, “KUTƏR YAHUDAYA NI YA.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Tal ahur fa mbǝlfeyini tawangnda kanda ɗǝ tǝghǝn thlǝghang pathya nǝn sǝ na iˈikh nagha a ndang nda, “Mbǝ sani na Ƙǝrǝsti wa? Hǝrghang altenwa tǝ kan ƙǝm lee!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Amma tahad tǝ mbǝlfedɗi djaranggǝn ɗǝ ndagha, “Mba tǝrǝm Faara wa, sa walgha wadghǝnfa mǝmǝl tǝghǝn?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Ənangganda ƙǝm mǝmǝl, ƙǝsǝr ƙǝna ˈya ǝna nǝm ndǝ walnǝm. Amma niifɗiya mbǝ ˈyasǝ ǝnanǝn na ɗimi wa.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Tǝrgha ndagha, “Yeeso, ɗalu nggi teena a ɓanna hu kutǝryid wa ɓa”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Nggǝmangga Yeeso, “Niya puro ƙǝkafek, a weeriya ɗǝna naarha a thlǝmanna a talara.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Fara a sǝrǝkrha, tǝrgha wula nggǝlanggǝn chehweerha heu, har yargha yanfaara hai.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Ƙǝsǝr yanfaara malang ɗǝ djaara hai. Shishamarɗi na a mbǝɗi na tsǝtsaɓa ɗǝ kaan hu Ƙǝn Faara djargha hai sǝri.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Tǝrangga Yeeso uradghǝn sǝ kaan ndagha, “Pǝpa, ahu harwa hai niya fǝr yiɓǝnna.” Thlǝknǝn ndǝn kee, mǝrgha.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.

47Mamnda sodja ɗi na ƙǝt a mbǝɗi nanǝn ǝnɗi katǝragha hai, fal Faara nǝn ndagha, “Kǝkafek niifɗiya ka niifa ni.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Nafini ngwagha hai ka ƙǝlarha, na nanda ǝnɗi katǝragha hai, kanda na heu wuɗa nda wureɗǝ kanda a ɗǝk ƙǝfayindan hu sǝbrha hura.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Amma nafini na heu sǝngga Yeeso tǝ nishyini mbuwa samadghǝn ɓa, ka ahu chehweed Nggalili ɓa, isha nda ɗǝ inggun, nanda a ƙǝlang ǝnɗi na a katǝrarha hai.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Na niifasǝ thlǝmnggǝnni Yisǝfu, nǝghǝn ahur mamngya na ƙǝnang pathla hai, ka niifa ni.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51Nggǝmngwa fa tǝ ǝnɗi ƙǝnang na nda hai wa. Ɓaghǝn ɓa ahu tal Aramatiya na a chehweed Yahudaya tǝ ƙǝm nǝghǝn a ƙǝla kutǝryid Faara fa.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.

52Ɗǝgha thlǝmad Mbilatus ɗǝ hwan mǝrra Yeeso nǝn a panggǝn.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Tǝrgha tǝranggǝn hweeɗe hai, faɗanggǝn hu kaɓad pa mǝrra hai, ɗǝfanggǝn hu kwadɗa hai rana nda ahu feera, yanɗi ˈwa wanda pa mǝrra sǝ.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.

54Far ngwarha ni fa yi yibrha Yahudaya, takh nda a kyarha hu far yiɓǝdɗa hai.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Nishyini ɓaa ɓa a samad Yeeso ka a Nggalili ɓa, mbu samad Yisǝfu nda, na ten kwadɗa nda, tǝ mbǝɗi hunang nanda sa hai.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
