Luke 23 (ISN) · Opened

1Umilundo wihi ukimika, ukamutwale uYesu pantongeela ang'wa Pilato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Ikandya kumuumbilya inkani, akazelunga, kumuhangile umuntu yu ukumunkonga ihi itu, wenda agilya iantu aleke kupumya impia kung'wa kaisari, hangi wenda hinga kina nuanso Kristo, Mtemi.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.”

3Pilato akamkolya, akahunga, Uewe wintemi Wayahudi? uYesu akasusha akalunga, ingi wewe ukulanga iti.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Upilato akamuila ukuhani numukulu a mitunda, shakuona igazo nila muntu uyu.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Ingi nianso ikalunga, wenda asongeela iantu, wenda amanyisa kuuyahundi ihi, kandilya kugalilaya ni tungili ukoti hapa.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.”

6Upilato nai wija, akakaelya kina Umuntu uyu ang'wa waku Galilaya.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Naiwalinga kina aukoli mutemi wang, wa Herode, akamutwala kung'wa Herode, imatungo nanso nung'wenso aukoli kuyerusalemu imahiko nanso.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Uherode naiwamuona Yesu, akalowa, kunsoko autakile kumuona siku idu. Aiwija ulukumo lakwe, akalowa aone ata ikuilwa ling'wi nilikitung'wa nung'wenso.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.

9Uherode akamukolya uYesu nkani yidu, Uyesu singa akasusha kintu kihi.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Iakuhani niakulu palung'wi niandiki akimika kuautaki ukazimusemela.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Uherode palung'wi nia hami akwe, ikmutukila nukumumda, nukumutagala inguo ninza uYesu sunga ikamususha kung'wa Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Herode nu Pilato ikatula ikihumbashuya kandilya uluhiku lulo, ntongeela apa ng'wanso aialemanilye.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Upilato akaitanga iakuhani niakulu nilongeeli niamilundo na antu.Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Akaaila mandetela umuntu uyu, anga muntu nuiatongeela awa niyituma imabi, hangi gozi namukolekelya pa ntongeela anyu, singa naona igazo ku muntu uyu ku nkani yihi inazamenda musemela nuinso.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.

15Kutile, ang'wi Herode, kunsoko wamususha kitaitu, inangi kutile kintu kihi nikibi naiwitumile nakihumile kutule apegwe ulamulwa wa nsha.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Kululo kumupa ulamulwa nukumutunguila.Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Itungili, Upilato ukumulekela mutungwa ung'wi kua yahudi matungo na mahiku aulumbiili.Not in the BSB

18Ingi ihi akazogolya palung'wi, akazelunga,''Muheje uyu, hangi kuluguilye ubaraba.''But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Ubaraba ai muntu nauikilwe kukitungo kunsoko au sambo mukisali palung'wi nuubulagi.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Upilato akaila hangi, ndalwe kumuleka uYesu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Kululo nianso akakulya iyogo agigwe agigwe.but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Akaakolya katatu, akaila umuntu uyu witumile mabiki? Naulya igazo nilihumile kumutwala muulamutwa wa nshaakwe, kululo ingankondye kupumya uulamulwa kumulekela.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.”

23Akitwita kua ngulu, akalowa agig'wa, induli yao ikampembeselya upilato.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Upilato akaaila mitumi anganimuonee.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Akamutunguila uyu nautungilwe kukitingo kunsoko akusingizeeligwa kituma ubi nu kubalaga. Uyu naumuloilwe, akamupunya uYesu amitumile nialoilwe.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Naiakumuheja ikamuamba muntu ung'wi, Simoni Mkirene, naupimie kumugunda, ikamutika ikota la mpanga amutyale uYesu.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.

27Milundo mkulu nuantu, niasungu idu naiahumilwe ikinya uwayi nukuhongeelya kunsoko akwe, ai amutyatile.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Akaa pilukila akaaila, Ananso niamu Yerusalemu, leki kundiili unene, iliili unyenye niana anyu.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Goza imahiku apembilye,''niazelunga, akembetwa iagumba ni nda nishayiluga nimaele aya nisinga aiankilye.Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Pang'wanso azetula maila imalugulu, kugwili, ana malugulu kukunikili.At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Ang'wi akituma nkanizizi mu mti nutotu ukatula uli mu mti nuwumo?For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Intunja abiili hangi niansambo aiatwawe palung'wi nung'wenso ende abulagwe.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Naipaka apo niitangwa ing'ang'a Iitwe, ikatula maja palung'wi niasambo, ung'wi mukono nuakigiha numuya mukono nua kikima.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.

34Uyesu akahinga, Tata alekole kunsoko shangaalikile niakituma. Nienso ikaku ialo ahume kugalana imyenda akwe.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Iantu ainukile akazeagozeeye kunu iatemi akazemumela, akazelunga, aiwiaguna niangizeo, itungili nigune nung'wenso, ang'wi nuanso Kristo wang'wi, Itunda, naushaguwe.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.”

36Iahomi neonso ikamudalaha, Ikamuhugeela ikamupa inkungu.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Ikalunga, ang'wi uewe wimu temi wayahudi igune uewe.“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Aikikoli hangi kilingasiilyo migulya akwe naikiandikilwe, ''UYU NGWENSO MUTEMI WAYAHUDI”.Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Ung'wi wa Sambo naukagigwa akamutuhila akalunga, uewe wi Kristo? Iguno uewe nu sese.One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Ingi gwa umuya akasusha, akamukenela akalunga, uewe shumogopile ne Itunda? nuewe ukoli mulamulwa wuwo wuwo?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Use kukoli kutai, Kunsoko usese kusingiilya iko nikimpyani ni ntendo yitie ingi umuntie uyu shawitumile anga kintu kihi nikibi.We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Hangi akongeelya, Yesu unkimbuke nukingila mutemi wako.Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Uyesu akamuila, huila kuila ilelo iyi ukutula palung'wi nunene kuparadiso.And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Ainugee kutula matungo mutandatu, ihe ihi ikakunikilwa ni kiti sunga imatungo kenda ikapika.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Uwelu wa lyoa ukalima, sunga ung'wenda nuitekeelo ukatamuka pakati kandiilya migulya.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Akalila kua luli lukulu, Uyesu akalunga, Tata mumikono nako, namiika inkolo ane, naiwaligitya aya akasha.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.

47Matungo uakida naiwaona ayo naitumilwe akamukolya Itunda akalunga, itai uyu ai muntu wa tai.When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Matungo umilundo wa antu naiazile palung'wi kihenga naiaona ayo naitumilwe, ikasuka akaze kuaga ikue yao.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Ingi gwa iahumba uya akwe, niasunga ikamutatya kupuma kugalilaya, akimika kuli akazegoza ayo naitumilwe.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Goza aukoli muntu nai witangwa Yusufu nai muntu wianza, Muntu muza nuatai.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51Akili kigombya ni ntendo yao, kupuma Armathaya kisali ka kiyahudi uo naizaulindie utemi wang'wi Tunda.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.

52Umuntu uyu, akamuhugeela upilato, akalompa apeng'we umuili wang'wa Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Akausimya hangi akaukumba isanda akauka mukibiila naikimbihiimbilwe mungwe, omo naizakili muntu wihi kuikwa.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.

54luhiku la kunonelya ni Sabato ahugeela.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Iasungu, naiazile kupuma Kugalilaya, aiamulyatile ikibiila nu muili wakwe naiulalikigwe.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Akasuka ikatula nonelya imakuta nakunyunkilya. Sunga luhiku la sabato akasupya anga naiza malagiilyo ao.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
