Luke 23 (IDC) · Opened

1Ikir ajiya vasa sisang ki kyaa ni iYesu kite iBilatus.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Avasa teghi aghọ jugna asili ki tẹri nga si, “Ipeni nga na asọ zogho ajiya yi kọ, asọ tẹri bọ si ama biya Ikaisar agonu ba. Avasa terbọ si anga shi Ukristi, Agọm.”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.”

3IBilatus vasa ghulu si, “Ungo shi Agọm Ayahudawa?” IYesu vasa tẹri nga si, “Utẹri ngọ wudu.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4IBilatus vasa tẹri afirist akakọng kina ajiya si, “Imẹ ni ira penimi ajiya ri kina avulu ba.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Avasa tẹghi aghọ meni nga si, “Umẹẹ nga wu ni asọ shang ikwyi majiya wu ki ifọng Ayahudiya. A kpaa ka ẹrẹbọ aGalili, ki ma ta kọkẹẹ.”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.”

6IBilatus ya kọng kindi ni avasa ghulu nga si, “Anga ni aghọ aGalili nga lẹ?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Aya kọng si iYesu kunu ki isii mani iHiridus shi ni ẹrẹgọrọ kọ ni, avasa tuma ni iYesu kukushi iHiridus, ka akyua ni iHiridus shi uko Urushelima.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8IHiridus ju ikwyifu nọ unu iYesu, ka aiwuu ni akọ sa ikwyi unu nga, kaa kọng ila iYesu kumani awang nu uma uwo ica mani iYesu ki ju.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.

9IHiridus vasa ghulu nga ipii nai gang, ni iYesu raa tẹri icima ba.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Afirist akakọng kina Aghọmẹẹ iMusa vasa bitẹ ki ma tẹri asili kaya ẹrẹkwẹ iYesu.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11IHiridus kina aghina akpọ nga awang jer nga amira, ki sila nga, ki kla nga, ki vasa sọmọ nga igbang, ki vu ni nga ukushi IBilatus.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Awii rau ni iHiridus kini iBilatus teghi Aghikyo ace kọ, akyua ni ashi asho.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13IBilatus curu aghakakọng afirist, kina agọm ajiya kina ajiya naidu,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14ki ter bọ si, “Inu bami na ajiya ra si asọ zogho ajiya wu. Aikyuari ni, imẹ ghulu nga kite nu, ira peni mi nga kina avulu ice ima ba.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.

15IHiridus kindọ. Uwọ sa ni aba ni nga kukushi yi. Bi mumani ajiya ri ju, ni ifuma mani apii nga wu ba.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16kin dini imẹ ki ju nga aiwọrọ na asọ shernga.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Kọgba agya bulu ni iBilatus akasheri ajiya ayeng kọ bọọ iting, agho mani ajiya ka shorni.Not in the BSB

18Ni avasa shang ẹrẹwyuẹ nadidu bọ ki tẹri si, “Alite ni nga, na asọ sher Ibarabas!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19(Ka akyua ni asa sọmọ iBarabas kọ ubọọ iting ka avulu nọ umani ashang ajiya ikwyi, mani ba Ighọ ki ifọng ba, ki ta kọ mani apii ajiya.)(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20IBilatus vasa kimi upẹni kini bọ, ka nga awang sheri iYesu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Amma ni alite nọ shang awyuẹ bọ na sọju, na tẹri si, “Agara nga Kaya ukumu ushi! Agra nga kaya ukumu ọshẹ!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22IBilatus vasa vọlọ utẹri bọ unga itai, “Ikẹmbọ ba ni aligba avulu nga ajiya ri ju? Imẹ ni ira peni mi nga kina avulu mani, amọ mani apii nga kọ ba. Ikisa ka aju nga aiwọrọ, na asọ sheri nga.”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 ni avasa titara naigbong, na asọ meni nga si, sa agra nga kọ ukumu ọshẹ. Aya taka kọ tutumu ni avasa bra nga.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24IBilatus vasa wa ashuwa mani ibọ wang.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Asher ajiya mani awang si asher, aghọmani afeni kidi ubọọ iting kaya avulu mani ashang ikwyi kọnọ upii ajiya. Amma ni IBilatus ma iYesu kukushi bọ ka aju nga imumani awang.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Ayila akpọ sọkeng ni iYesu, avasa takwyuẹ naca agho mani a yur si iSiman, ajiya aSayirin, asọ ki ba ka anifọng. Avasa kpininga, ki sa nga ukpa ukumushi ka yighi iYesu kọ tumu.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.

27Ajiya nagigang asha yighi nga, kidẹ bọ na ayiri shiya na asọ ci nga wu.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Ni iYesu teghi ki tẹri si unu ayiri Urushelima ma ci ni mẹ ba, uci na akwyi nu, kina anọnọ.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Akyua ki ba mani ajiya ki ter si, ima ikwyifu, aghumani asọnọ ujee bọ ba, na sọnọ sabu iriyẹrẹ bọ ba, asọnọ worbu anọ ba.’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Aidu akyau, “Ajiya ki tersi, atighi “Kpaa kaya akwii yi!’ Aki tersi itili si, yuru yi yaa.”’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31“Ipeni asọ ju kini kukushi ushi lalọr ni, Aki ju na nyi kọ ushi mani ọkọ hugha wu?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Avasa kya kina ajiya apai mani avulu ni sa ki pighibo kini iYesu.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Aya fuma ọkọ mani ayọrọ “Igbo ẹrẹkwẹ,” Avasa gra nga kaya ukumushi ku akadu, kina ajiya pai mani avulu ra, agha yeng ka avọ la nga agha yeng ka avọ iprọ ma nga.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.

34IYesu vasa tersi, “Ate mi, ẹsọ shọr ngọ kpaa bọ uvulu kọ, ka aye bu imumani asọ ju ba.” Avasa kọ ace bọ ugbang nga kọ hugha ace bọ.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Ajiya vasa titara na asọ kọghọ. Akwyite kuma ni asọ keli nga, asọ tẹri si, “Afọr ace aghọ, afọr arikwyi ni, ipeni nga shi Ukristi anga Ọnọng Mani Ahugha!”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.”

36Kina aghina akpọ ni asọ kali nga, kọnọ ukeng kushi nga nọ mẹẹ nga amusumu kpikpam anga ikọlọ na shi inabi.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Avasa tẹri nga si, “Ipeni ungọ shi Agọm Ayahudawa ni, nọsọ fo ẹrẹkwẹ ni!”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Ka aya ni nga ni awọọ ice iwọọ si, ANGA SHI AGỌM AYAHUDAWA.Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Agha yeng kidẹ aghina vulu mani agra kọ ukumu shi ni, atẹri nga upighi jer amira, atẹri si “Ungọ shi aghọfoo ra ba? Nọsọ fo ẹrẹkwẹ kini yini!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Amma ni agha yeng gẹr adagho ki tẹri si, “Ushin ni ẹrẹbata Ọnọng ba lẹ? Ungọ mani awang ashuwa iki kya kini imumani uju ni?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Iyi ni, aju yi iki kya kini imumani iyi ju. Amma ni inga ni avulu ike nga na ju?”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Avasa tẹri si, “Ingọ iYesu, shuni kini imẹ akyua mani ọghila ẹrẹgọm ngọ wu!”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43IYesu vasa tẹri si, “Iyiya ni sọ tẹri ngọ si, aidi ri ni uki cicaa kini imẹ kọ ọka uwuru ka ayaya.And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Kina bughating atinọng, iting vasa yuru ẹrẹbọ ya, ki ta ka akyua itai ngọ ọghẹ.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Ọnọng sọ ta wu ba. Ugyauto mani asunu ka anyu ubọ ọna Ọnọng barawu ika ipai.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46IYesu vasa shang ẹrẹwyuẹ kina akyọghọ ki tersi, “Ate! Idẹ ivọ yọ ni ẹsọ ma aghing mi kọ.” Atẹri kindi ni avasa wagha ufeni nga unga amaa na ki kpoo.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.

47agha aghaghẹ aghina akpọ Aroma mani ashi ku akadu anu imumani ebani, avasa jọọ Ọnọng ki tẹri si, “Iyiya, ajiya ri ashina avulu ba!,When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Ajiya mani acurni ka ma kyoo anu imumani ebani, naidubu vasa vugubọ acani asọ ca ikọ ki ididu bira ikwyi.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Nadidu ajiya mani aye iYesu ni, kina ayiri mani ayighi nga kọma ka aGalili, Aitara ka tatugho na asọ kyoo.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Ace ajiya shiwu na ayọrọ si iYusufu, anga ni ashi ki ifọng Arimatiya kisighi aYahuda. Inga ni ajiya adaduma nga, aka ju aipang. Asọ sha uba ẹrẹgọm Ọnọng. Inga ni agha yeng nga kidẹ aghakakung Ayahudawa, amma ni ara kọng ọdọdọma imumani akyosa aki ju kuma najuba.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

52Avasa kya kushi iBilatus ki ya shọr sa ma nga ọkọng iYesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Avasa shulu kọnọ ọkọng, ki lor ugyauto alilin, ki sumọ ka ace alọr mani atumu ki irihu utighi, ọkọọ mani asọnọ sa bọ ace aghu ya kidẹ ba.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.

54Awii ra ni angọ ju uma kọ, ka Awii uwuru aYahudawa ya sọ ba.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Ayiri mani akyeng ni nga kusang ka aGalili awolu kini uyusufu ka aya nu ukọ mani alọr nga shiwu kọnọ mani asọmọ ọkọng iYesu kidẹ.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Avasa vuu bọ aca, kiya wang ima uvọng kina anyẹ ucoo, Awii uwuru aYahudawa ya ju ni, avasa wuru kinọ mani umẹẹ iMusa tẹri bọ ni.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
