Luke 23 (JNI) · Opened

1Vat anuu me sa wa tarsa wa hiri wa tonno, wa ēn Yeso ahira Bilatus.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Wa hiri me inna banga ayari, unu gusa “Ta kem unun geme unu hara umu ruba manu, agi kati wa nya ikirfi ima nyanga ba, unu gusa agi memani Asere, Ugomo”.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.”

3Bilatus ma iki me “Ho mani Ugomo a Yahudawa?” Yeso makabirka me ma gu “Wa buka anime”.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Bilatus ma gun anu adandang aka tuma nan anuu gbardang, “Daki ma kem unun ugeme unu pilko ba.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Wa gaawe unu gusa “Ma bunkurko anuu unu bezizi umeme vat uyahuda, matuba ugalili nanu aye abame.”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.”

6Sa Bilatus ma kunna anime, ma iki nan unuu nuu Galili mani.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Sa ma rusa unun maran atari ti Hiridua tini, ma tuburko Yeso u hana ahira Hiridus u Jerusalem ati yee me.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Sa Hiridus ma ira Yeso, ma wu apuru arum, barki sa ma nyara u ira ume datti. Mamu kunna abanga ame, ma nyara ma iri imum ibiyau me sa ma wuza.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.

9Hiridus ma iki Yeso timum gbardang, Yeso ma game kabirka me.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Unuu adandang aka tuma nan anuu nyerte wa hirri ummu ruba wa nya me ayari.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Hiridus nan ana nikara nini kono (Ma'Soja) wa zogizi me wa wuzi me nibassa. Wa sukki me udibi udandang wa kurzo me ahira Bilatus.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Barki Hiridus nan Bilatus wazin ruroni inna cece atiyee me (wazin inni erru atiyee ta dumo)That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Bilatus ma titi anuu adandang aka tuma nan Agomo dandang nan nigura na nuu.Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Ma gun we “Ya aye nime unu nuu ugeme kasi unuu sa mazin nuwuza anun wa wuzi imum izenzen, irani ma iko me ashin, daki ma kem me inna bur imumme sa ya booni anicee numeba.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.

15Nan Hiridus sa ma kurzo me ahira aru ma ira me inna bur sa abari ahun me ba.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16“Barki anime indi cobi me in ceki me”.Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Bilatus maka nya a Yahudawa unun inde anyimo ande sa wa rani akura ani rere uganiya idin keterewa.Not in the BSB

18Wa meki tihunu vat uwe unu gusa “Ceki unuu geme u nyan duru Barabas”.But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Barabas unuu me sa aka korso me udenge uni rere sa ma guri ahira ahun unuu.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Bilatus ma kuri ma buki we tize uguna ma ceki Yeso.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Wa wuu tihunu wa gu “Gankirka me, Gankirka me”.but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Ma gun we uku taru, “Barki nyani, a ya bur ani unuu geme ma wuza shi? Daki makemme unu pilko sa wa bari ahume ba. Barki anime imma Cobo me indi ceki me”.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.”

23Wa game inti myiran inna za, unu nyara a nyawe me wa gankirka me. Tihunu tuweme tihunguko iruba i Bilatus.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Abinime Bilatus ma nya we me.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Ma ceki Barnabas sa maa guri ahira ahun unuu. Ma nyawe Yeso sa wa nyara.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Sa wa haka nan me, wa gurna nan Siman unanuu Sayirin, ma zeze usuro ani pin, wa canni me ukunti ugankirka ma tarsi Yeso.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.

27Unu hem unu gura nanuu nan nanee intisso nan tihunu, unu tarsa ume.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yeso ma gamirka ma gu “Acaa anu Jerusalem, kati ishinime ba, sooni acee ashi nan na hana ashi.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Irani barki, tiyee tieze sa wadi gu, 'Ani ruba irum wani anuu zattu yozo, nan tipuru sa daki ta yozo nan na hene sa daki a hamza 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!’

30Abini me wadi tubi ugusan na pana 'Rizo aharu', nan napoo, 'Impon duru',At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Ingi awuza matiti mazu aname, nyanini idi kem mage sa mawaa?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Ukassu anuu, akari waree wazi nigome nan me tantu kahuname.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Sa wa aye ahirame sa atisa “Ukunkuwa”, Wa gankirka me nan akari waree unuu inde atari tinanre unuu inde atari tinangure.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.

34Yeso ma gu “Acoo, vette ucara uwemen, barki sa wa taawe imume sa wazin unuwuza ba”. Wa acece tirunga tumeme in bizawazawa.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Anuu wa turi unu hirame, agomo unu wuza ume nibassa, unu gusa “Ma bursa aye ca ma buri nice nume, ingi memani Ugomo Asere nan Asere sa a Zauka”.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.”

36Anani kara nini kono (Ma Soja) wa meki uhaza upuru ume unu wuza ume nibassa, unu ninza ume mei magbarara.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Unu gusa, “Ingi homan Ugomo wa Yahudawa, bura nicee nuwe”.“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38U'ira warani ame “Ugomo wa Yahudawa mazigeneme”.Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Uye anyimo akarime mazogeme sa agankirka we nan me unu gusa “Inzo homani Ugomo Asere? Bura nicee nuwe nan haru”.One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Unuu kureme ma tarika me, magu “Uda kunna we biyau ba Asere ba, tunsa imun inde ini ya kem shi?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Haru tiraa abame rep, barki ucara urun. Unuu ugeme daki ma cara imum ninba”.We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Ma gu, “Yeso, ringinmi anyimo ati Gomo tuweme”.Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yeso ma gunme “Kadundura ma gunan huu, kani udizi nan mi akura Asere.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Inna tii uwui (Azumu kirau in anaree) ahira abee Uhana uniyee.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Masaa mu wui ma inpino. Ugebtu udenge unigurame ujanika atii.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Inna soo, inni nyiran nidandang Yeso ma gu, “Acoo, ma nya Bibe bum atari tuwe”. Sa ma buka anime ma wii.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.

47Sa una nikara nini kono (Usoja U Romawa) ma ira imumme sa ya cukuno anime ma gu “Kadundura unuu geme ma zome ma dini ba”.When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Vat nigura nanbu sa wa aye bati iri imumme sa awuza, wa kuri unu tira igiri.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Vat ande sa wa rusa me, nan anee me sa wa tarsa me usuro u Galili, wa tonno pit, unu hira utimumme.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Russani, uru nun maa rani unaniza Isubu, de sa maa rani anyimo anuu hirra. Unuu uririn mani ini ruba ubenki.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51Unuu ugeme daki ma hem ini mumme sa anuu hirra wa wuza ba nan bi wuzawuza buweme ba. Mee unanuu Yahuda mani ani pin nu Arimatiya mazin nunyara uti Gomo ta Asere.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.

52Unuu me makem Bilatus, ma iki ikizi Yeso.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Ma tuzo ini, ma impi ini unu malti uririn, ma ka natta a ire ican upuru uni poo, sa daki amuwuna ire ikizin 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.

54Uwui ubibarabara bini nan Asabar a ezi.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Anee me sa wa tarsi Yeso usuro U Galili, wa tarsi waka ira ican me nan nuvati me.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Wa kuri, waka nyara uturari nan mani munya urunta. Wa venke unu wui wa sabar kasi udungara U Musa.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
