Luke 23 (KOS) · Opened

1U sac nufon tuyak ac pwanulla Jesus nu yorol Pilate,Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2ac mutawauk in fahk kas in tukakunul we: “Kut konauk mwet se inge ke el kiapu mwet lasr uh, ac fahk nu selos in tia moli tax nu sin Caesar, ac el oayapa fahk mu el pa Christ, sie tokosra!”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.”

3Ac Pilate el siyuk sel, “Ya kom pa tokosra lun mwet Jew?” Ac el fahk, “Kom fahk na.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Na Pilate el fahk nu sin mwet tol fulat ac un mwet uh, “Nga tia konauk sie sripa in nununkeyuk mwet se inge kac.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Tusruk elos kwafe yohk liki meet ah, ac fahk, “Ke na luti lal uh el purakak tukulkul yohk inmasrlon mwet uh in acn Judea nufon. El tuh mutawauk Galilee, na pa inge el sun acn inge.”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.”

6Ke Pilate el lohng ma inge, el siyuk selos, “Ya mwet se inge el mwet Galilee?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Ke el etauk lah Jesus el mwet in acn se ma Herod el leumi, el supwalla nu yorol, mweyen Herod el oayapa oasr Jerusalem in pacl sac.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Herod el arulana insewowo ke el liyal Jesus, mweyen el lohng kacl, ac loes pacl ma el soano elan liyal. El finsrak mu Jesus elan oru kutu mwenmen elan liye.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.

9Ouinge Herod el siyuk mwe siyuk puspis sin Jesus, tusruktu wanginna top lun Jesus nu sel.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Mwet tol fulat ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos kilukyak nu meet ac akyokye kas in tukak lalos lain Jesus.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Herod ac mwet mweun lal elos aksruksrukel Jesus ac aklusrongtenyal; tari elos nokmulang ke sie nuknuk na kato ac folokunulla nu yorol Pilate.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Herod ac Pilate eltal kawukyak in len sacna, a meet eltal asrungai.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Pilate el solani kewa mwet tol fulat, mwet kol, ac mwet uh,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos use mwet se inge nu yuruk ac fahk mu el kiapwelana mwet uh. Inge nga srikal tari ye motowos, a nga tiana konauk mu oasr sufal lal ke kutena ma kowos fahk kacl uh.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.

15Oayapa Herod el tiana konauk mu oasr ma sufal lal, oru el folokunulma nu yorosr. Wanginna ma mwet se inge orala ma fal in anwuki el kac.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Ke ma inge, nga ac sang in sringsring el, tari nga fah tulalla. [Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Ke pacl in Kufwen Alukela nukewa oasr oakwuk se lal Pilate in tulala sie mwet kapir ma mwet uh siyuk in taltalla.]Not in the BSB

18Ac un mwet nufon sac tukeni wowoyak ac fahk, “Unilya! Tulalla Barabbas nu sesr!” (But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Barabbas el muta in kapir ke sripen sie alein ma sikyak in siti uh lain government, oayapa ke sripen akmas ma el oru.)(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilate el kena aksukosokye Jesus, oru el sifilpa kusen siyuk nu sin mwet uh kac,Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21a elos sifilpa wowoyak ac fahk, “Srupsrulak! Srupsrulak fin sakseng soko!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Pilate el sifil fahk pacl se aktolu, “Ku meawin ma koluk lal uh? Nga tia ku in konauk kutena ma lainul ma fal in anwuki el kac! Nga ac sang na in sringsring el, tari nga tulalla.”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.”

23Tusruk elos sikalang in wowoyak ke kuiyalos mu Jesus elan sripsripyak fin sakseng, nwe ke na wela siyuk lalos.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Ouinge Pilate el wotela mu in wi ma elos siyuk uh.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25El tulala mwet se ma elos siyuk in ikakla uh, mwet se ma tuh muta in kapir ke sripen alein ac akmas, ac el eisalang Jesus nu selos in oru oana ma elos lungse oru nu sel.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Mwet mweun elos pwanul Jesus som, ac ke elos fahsr elos sun sie mwet Cyrene pangpang Simon, su fahsr in utyak nu in siti uh liki acn el muta we likin siti uh. Elos sruokilya, filiya sakseng soko ah nu facl, ac sap elan us fahsr tukun Jesus.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.

27Oasr sie un mwet na lulap wi pac fahsr tokol; inmasrlon mwet inge oasr pac kutu mutan su wowoyak ac tung ke Jesus.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Jesus el forang nu selos ac fahk, “Mutan Jerusalem, nimet kowos tung keik, a keiwos sifacna ac ke tulik nutuwos an.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Oasr len ac tuku ke mwet uh ac fah fahk, ‘Insewowo mutan su talap, su tiana oswe tulik ku katiti!’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Pacl se ingan pa mwet uh ac fahk nu ke eol uh, ‘Putati nu facsr!’ ac nu sin eol srisrik uh, ‘Wikinkutla!’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Tuh fin pa inge ma ac orek nu ke sak folfol insroa, faska ma ac orek nu ke sak paola uh?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Oasr pac mwet luo saya, kewana mwet orekma koluk, wi pac pwenyukla in tuh wi Jesus anwuki.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Ke elos tuku nu ke acn se pangpang “Sri in Ahlunsuf” elos patkilya Jesus nu fin sakseng soko, oayapa mwet koluk luo ah, sie layen layot ac sie layen lasa sel.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.

34Jesus el fahk, “Papa, nunak munas nu selos, tuh elos tia etu ma elos oru uh.” Elos kitalik nuknuk lal inmasrlolos ke susfa.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Mwet uh tu na liye ma uh ke mwet kol lun mwet Jew elos aksruksrukel ac fahk: “El molela mwet saya uh — lela elan sifacna molella, fin pwaye el pa Christ se ma God El sulela uh!”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.”

36Mwet mweun uh oayapa aksruksrukel. Elos tuku nu yorol ac sang wain vinegar nu sel,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37ac fahk, “Sifacna molikomla, fin pwaye kom tokosra lun mwet Jew.”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Kas inge simla oan lucng liki sifal, “El inge Tokosra lun mwet Jew.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Sie sin mwet koluk ma wi sripsripyak uh fahk kas in angonkas nu sin Jesus: “Mea, tia kom pa Christ? Molikomla sifacna, ac kital uh!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40A mwet se ngia kael ac fahk, “Ku kom tia sangeng sin God? Kom welul eis kain kaiyuk sefanna.But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Fal ma orek nu sik kom uh, mweyen kut eis lacnen orekma koluk lasr. A el, wangin kutena ma koluk el oru.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Na el fahk nu sin Jesus, “Jesus, esamyu ke kom tuku ke ku lun Tokosra!”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Pwayena nga fahk nu sum, misenge na kom ac wiyu in Paradise.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Ke apkuran nu ke infulwen len, in polo acn sac nufon lohsrla ke lusen ao tolu.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Kalmen faht uh wanginla, ac nuknuk lisringyen Acn Mutal Na Mutal ke Tempul uh mihsalik infulwa, ip luo lac.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Jesus el wola ke sie pusra lulap ac fahk, “Papa! Nga asot ngunik nu inpoum!” El fahkla ma inge, na el misa.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.

47Mwet kol lun un mwet mweun el liye ma sikyak inge, ac el kaksakin God ac fahk, “Pwayena mwet se inge el sie mwet na suwohs!”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Ke mwet ma fahsreni in tuh intoein ma orek uh liye ma sikyak inge, elos nukewa usruk kwawalos ac folokelik nu lohm selos ac arulana asor.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Ac mwet kawuk nukewa lun Jesus, wi mutan ma welul tuku Galilee me, elos tu loes kutu ac liye ma inge.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Oasr mukul se, inel pa Joseph mwet Arimathea, sie siti in acn Judea. El sie mwet wo ac suwoswos, su sie sin mwet ke Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat lun mwet Jew.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,
