Luke 23 (LGA) · Opened

1Ego ko qai turu sira doru qai somana pa kauniseli, ko qai toni laonia tai Paelati si Jisu.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Qai podalai jutua ira ketakoi sisa, pira qarigu, <<Qe poai agei sa na tinoni api sa kole toni vapiruria na oda tinoni: sa pojaniria na tinoni ko maike tabara takisi lao tana bangara Siza, beto ko sa gigala mulenia tugu mekana isa sa na Karisito kai bangara sau,>> qarigu sira.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.”

3Ko sa nanasia i Paelati si Jisu, <<Ao tugu sa na bangara tadira na Jiu?>> saunia. Poni sa oea isa, pira sau, <<Vei tugu qu korapa pojai ao ina,>> sau sisa.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Poni sa pira sauniria i Paelati sira na kuta iama beto ria na minete tinoni, <<Kepore sa kai sela ba batia ara ko bi boka tavakilasania sa na tinoni api,>> sau.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Ba qai jutu totokai ira sisa, ko pira qarigu, <<Pa ona vaivagigalai sa sa vavaivatagigiriniria na tinoni doru ia pa Jiudia sina. Sa podalai tu pa Qalili, ko kopira sa kamu lani,>> qarigu.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.”

6Totonai sa nongoria i Paelati sa vei inara, sa sa nanasa sisa, <<Ai vei, na tinoni Qalili sa na bangara api?>> sau.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Ko totonai sa gigilai i Paelati na lame veina pa Qalili si Jisu, pa ia ketakoi sa bangara i Herodi, poni sa sa garunu laonia isa ti Herodi si Jisu. Totonai sa i Herodi ba sa korapa tugu vei pa Jerusalema.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Totonai sa batia i Jisu sa sa qera vivitigi si Herodi, ura sa nongoriaona tugu sa na veveina i Jisu ko sa nyorogua batia tugu si Jisu. Ko sa kole nyorogua batiria sa kaki roiti vaivagabaradi mina roitiniria i Jisu sau.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.

9Ko sa kole dori nanasia i Herodi si Jisu, ba kepore kai oe bi valaoa si Jisu.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Ko qai turu votu lao sira na kuta iama beto ira qai vaivagigalainia na Vavanau, ko qai jutu vivivai si Jisu.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Sa paranga ngangangulia beto sa roiti veinia kai tinoni ikikerena i Herodi beto ko ira na solodia si Jisu, beto sa qai vasaenia kai poko gojo doru babata jongana tana bangara, beto sa qai garunu mule laonia tai Paelati.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Ko pa rane tugu isa sa qai vaibaere mule sira Herodi i Paelati, goto tonai oqoro kamua na totoso isa sa na vaikana koledi sira karu.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Ego sa kuku vaikamuniria i Paelati sira na kuta iama, na tinoni mamata tadira na tinoni Jiu, beto ko ira na tinoni,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14beto pira sauniria isa sira, <<Qu toni kamunia agou taqu sa na tinoni api, ko qu jutua isa sa kole toni vapeleria sira na tinoni qugu. Ba totonai qa kole nanasa vivilotia ara pa moemiu sa qake boka batia ara sa kai sela tana pa ginugua qu jutunia agou isa.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.

15Ko i Herodi ba sake batia tugu kai sela tana, ko sa vei sa sa garunu valamea mule tadagita. Ko qu batia? Ko na kaberena gu sa sa kepore sa kai ginugua ikerena sa roitinia na padana vei beto mina tavamatenia sisa.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Ko vei sa mana majai gu ropi beto sa mana ruvata variua,>> sau sisa.Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

18Ba qai mekarai vevela votu sira na tinoni, <<Vamatea na tinoni ina, goto i Barabasi tu sa mu ruvata valame vanigei!>> qarigu.But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19I Barabasi api sa sa tavatome pa ruma vaipiu ura sa somananiria ira qai rajai na qavuna beto sa varivai.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Sa nyorogua ruvatia i Paelati si Jisu, ko sa paranga laoria mule sira na minete tinoni.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Ba qai vevela laoa tugu ira si Paelati, <<Vamatea pa korosi! Vamatea pa korosi!>> qarigu.but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Poni pira sauniria na vinaue totoso si Paelati, <<Ura ai vei, na sa sa na roiti ikikerena sa roitinia isa? Ara qake isongo batinia tana sa kai sela vei padana beto mina tavamate sisa! Ko ma majai gu ropi beto mana ruvata variua,>> sau.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.”

23Ba qaike koroto tugu kukuku vevela sa mina tavamate tugu si Jisu qarigu, ko tinganai qai vamunyalia tu ira sa na roquna i Paelati.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Ko sa vaegoa i Paelati ko mina tavamate sisa, vei qai nyoroguania ira.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Ko sa ruvatia isa vei qai nyoroguania ira sa isa na tinoni sa tavatome pa ruma vaipiu pa ginugua vei sa somana rajai na qavuna beto sa varivai. Goto i Jisu sa sa loa laonia isa ko mai roitinia sa isa vei qai nyogua roiti veinia ira tana.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Ego qai toni riunia ira na solodia si Jisu, sa qai aru tamania ira na solodia si Saimone kai tinoni pa Saerini, na koni bola kokona pa peguruna gugusu, ko qai vapogosonia na korosi ko sa poso tutinia si Jisu.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.

27Kai minete tinoni lavata sa sa tutia i Jisu, kaki ira sa ira na rereko qai kole lukana takulangania si Jisu.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Poni sa balinga mule tadira na rereko si Jisu, ko pira sau, <<Agou na rereko pa Jerusalema! Muke lukanasiu ara, goto mu lukana mulenigou mekamiu beto ko ira na tumiu.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Ura qai korapa lame sira na rane, tonai pira mai paranga vei na tinoni, <Qai vavaguadia tugu na vapuraniria sira na egoro, beto ko ira qaike vapodo koburu na vaivasusu!> marigu.Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Beto sa mai paranga laoria sira na kubo, <Mu taqovara amu tarigei!> marigu, beto ira na gogore sa <Mu amu tarigami!> mariguniria.At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Vei mai roiti lameniria ira taqu ara qa vei na gou toana sa na sakasava pira, sa ai kode mai roiti veinigou sagou qu vei na gou matemiu? Kode mina ikerena jola sa mai roiti laonia ira tamugou!>> sau si Jisu.For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Ira karu tinoni ikikeredi sa qai toni kamuniria tugu ko mai vamate tavitinia i Jisu qarigu.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Ko totonai qai kamu sira pa kai ia na isongona pa Batu Tomate sa qai vamatea pa korosi ketakoi si Jisu, beto ko vei tugu ira karu tinoni ikikeredi, kame keta pa kale matuana beto kame keta pa kale merina.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.

34Sa paranga si Jisu, <<Tamaqu, mu taleosoniria, ura qaike gigilai ira sa na manugu qai roitinia ira,>> sau sisa. Beto qai gonania ira na solodia sa na patu vivile beto qai tekua ira sa na ona poko.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Ko na minete tinoni sa qai kole gu turu dodogoro lao. Goto ira na mamata tadira Jiu sa qai kole vavaledenia beto qai kole ngangangulia si Jisu, pira qarigu, <<Na goto tinoni tu sa sa aloria isa. Ego, kopira sa mi alo mulenia tu mekana vei mina isa sosoto tugu sa na Karisito tana Tamasa, isa na tavilena!>> qarigu.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.”

36Ira na solodia ba qai vavaledenia tugu sisa, beto qai vania na vaini pasana,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37beto qai paranga laoa ira sisa, <<Vei mina Bangara tugu tadira na Jiu sao, sa mu alo mulenigo!>> qarigunia.“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Keta pa batuna na korosi pa narena isa sa sa takuti sira na paranga aipira, na tinajutuna isa. Pira sau: NA BANGARA TADIRA NA JIU SA API!Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Ego kame ira karu na tinoni ikikerena sa tavatiti pana kai korosi ketakoi, sa sa paranga vivikere laoa isa, <<Qokolo, nake Karisito sao? Mu alogo mekamu beto agei karu tugu vei!>> sau.One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Ba kame ira karu sa sa tokea sisa sa koni paranga ina, pira saunia, <<Qokolo, quke matagutunia ao sa na Tamasa? Ao kisa ba qu tavakilasa vei tugu sa vei isa.But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Ba gita karu sa na padada tugu tana tavakilasa, ura gita karu sa taqe taiania na laedi ira na oda roiti ikikeredi. Goto na tinoni api sa kepore ona sela,>> sau.We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Beto sa sa paranga laoa si Jisu, <<Jisu, mu roroqusiu totonai muna lame vei na Bangara,>> sau.Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Poni sa oe laoa i Jisu sisa, <<Ma poja sosotonigo ara sao: pa ngeni tugu api muna somana tavitisiu ara pa gusu jojonga sao,>> sau si Jisu.And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Ego papada vei manogarua koloko korapa rane sa sa rodomo sa na tapo ko sa udea na rodomo sa na gugusu tinganai sa kamua na kue koloko.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Ko sa tarikatarua sa na poko tobana na zelepade madina pa Jerusalema.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Beto sa lukana vevela si Jisu, pira sau, <<Tamaqu, qa loa laonia ara pa limamu ao sa na gagalaqu!>> sau, beto sa loai sa na singo bebetona.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.

47Totonai sa batia na tinoni mamata gogoto sira na roiti vei qai pidoko pira, sa sa vatarasaea isa sa na Tamasa, beto pira sau, <<Sosoto! Na tinoni tuvisina sapi,>> sau.When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Ira doru tinoni sa qai vaikamu kole dodogoria na vamatena i Jisu. Ko totonai qai batia na roiti qai taroiti inara sa qai okoto poararia na raraqodi pa dia takulanga, beto qai okoto mule riudia pa dia ruruma.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Ira doru vei qai gigila vatatalea i Jisu beto ko ira ka visa rereko qai koko tutia lame isa pa Qalili sa qai turu pa souna ko qai kole dodoro laoria sira na roiti aipira.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Ego koleona sa kai tinoni na isongona i Josepa, na somana mebana pa kauniseli tadira na Jiu, beto kai tinoni jongana beto na tuvisina sisa.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51Sake somana vaegoa isa sa na vivile tadira na kauniseli ko mina tavamate si Jisu. Na tinoni pa gugusu pa Arimatia kai gusu pa ia pa Jiudia sisa, beto ko sa kole tugu verania isa sa na lamena na binangara tana Tamasa.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.

52Ko sa lao pa moena i Paelati sisa, ko sa tepai sa na kokobu tinina i Jisu ko mi riu golomia sau.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Ko sa teku vagorea isa sa na tinina i Jisu, beto sa udenia kai poko keala liosona, ko sa lao vakolea pa leona kai bevi patu na tagura kori vakolena, ko oqoro pore kai kokobu tinoni bi tei tavakolenia mai tu sa na bevi isa.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.

54Na rane vatana sa tonai, beto sa tata na rane Minere.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Ira na rereko kokodi pa Qalili beto qai tuti lamea i Jisu sa qai tuti laoa i Josepa, ko qai dogoria sa na bevi beto ko isa vei qai vakole veinia na kokobu tinina i Jisu pa bevi.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Beto sa qai mule riudia ketakoi na suveredi sira na rereko, qai lao vatanania na oela umanga jonga mai valaonia pa tinina i Jisu qarigu. Ko totonai sa kamu na rane Minere sa qai minere isa na tutina na garunu.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
