Luke 23 (LIN) · Opened

1Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na mayangani batelemaki mpe bamemaki Yesu liboso ya Pilato ;Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2mpe kuna, bakomaki kofunda Ye : — Tala moto oyo azali kotia mobulu kati na ekolo na biso ! Tokuti ye azali kopekisa bato kofuta mpako ya Sezare, mpe azali lisusu komibenga Klisto, Mokonzi !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 atunaki Yesu : — Boni, ozali mokonzi ya Bayuda ? Yesu azongisaki : — Olobi yango.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Pilato alobaki na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe na ebele ya bato : — Namoni mabe moko te epai ya moto oyo.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Kasi batiaki kaka molende mpe balobaki : — Te ! Azali kotombokisa bato ya Yuda mobimba na nzela ya mateya na Ye ; abandaki yango na Galile kino akomi awa.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.”

6Tango Pilato ayokaki bongo, atunaki soki Yesu azali moto ya Galile.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Wana ayokaki ete Yesu azali moto ya mboka oyo ezalaki na se ya bokonzi ya Erode, atindaki Ye epai ya Erode, pamba te Erode azalaki kati na Yelusalemi na mikolo wana.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Erode asepelaki mingi tango amonaki Yesu, pamba te, wuta kala, azalaki koluka komona Ye mpo ete ayokaki basango mingi na tina na Ye, mpe azalaki kolikya komona Yesu kosala likamwisi.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.

9Apesaki ye mituna ebele, kasi Yesu apesaki ye ata eyano moko te.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko bazalaki kaka wana mpe bazalaki kopelisa moto na maloba mabe mpo na kokweyisa Yesu.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Erode mpe basoda na ye basekaki mpe batiolaki Yesu ; balatisaki Ye elamba ya kitoko makasi mpe bazongisaki Ye epai ya Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Nzokande, Erode mpe Pilato bazalaki banguna wuta kala ; kasi na mokolo wana, bakomaki balingami.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Pilato abengisaki bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, bakambi ya Bayuda mpe bato nyonso ; alobaki na bango :Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14— Bomemelaki ngai moto oyo mpe bofundaki ye ete azali kotombokisa bato. Napesi ye mituna liboso na bino mpe nazwi ye na mabe ata moko te kati na nyonso oyo bofundelaki ye.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.

15Erode mpe azwaki ye na mabe ata moko te, yango wana azongisaki ye epai na biso. Boye, ndenge bokoki komona, moto oyo asali mabe ata moko te oyo ekoki kosala ete azwa etumbu ya kufa.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Na bongo, nakobetisa ye kaka fimbu mpe, sima, nakotika ye. [Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Nzokande, na bafeti nyonso, Pilato azalaki kobimisela bango mokangami moko.]Not in the BSB

18Bato nyonso bagangaki : — Boma moto oyo ! Bimisela biso Barabasi !But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Barabasi akangamaki na boloko mpo ete abimisaki mobulu kati na engumba mpe abomaki moto.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Lokola azalaki na posa ya kotika Yesu, Pilato atunaki bango lisusu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Kasi bakobaki koganga : — Baka ye na ekulusu ! Baka ye na ekulusu !but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Pilato atunaki bango lisusu, mpo na mbala ya misato : — Mpo na nini ? Mabe nini tata oyo asali ? Ngai nazwi ye na mabe ata moko te, oyo ekoki kosala ete azwa etumbu ya kufa. Boye, nakobetisa ye kaka fimbu ; sima, nakotika ye.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.”

23Kasi bakobaki kaka kosenga, na koganga makasi koleka, ete babaka Yesu na ekulusu ; mpe suka na suka, koganga na bango elongaki.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Pilato azwaki mokano ya kokokisa oyo basengaki ;So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25abimiselaki bango moto oyo basengaki, oyo akangamaki na boloko mpo na mobulu mpe mpo ete abomaki moto, mpe akabaki Yesu na maboko na bango mpo ete basala Ye nyonso oyo balingi.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Wana basoda bazalaki kokumba Yesu, bakangaki mobali moko, kombo na ye ezalaki Simona, moto ya Sirene, oyo awutaki na bilanga ; batiaki ekulusu na mokongo na ye mpo ete amema yango sima na Yesu.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.

27Bato ebele balandaki Yesu. Kati na bango, ezalaki mpe na basi oyo bazalaki kolelalela mpe komitungisa mingi mpo na Ye.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yesu abalukaki mpo na kotala basi mpe alobaki : — Bana basi ya Yelusalemi, bolela mpo na Ngai te ; bolela nde mpo na bino moko mpe mpo na bana na bino.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Pamba te, na mikolo oyo ekoya, bakoloba : « Esengo na basi oyo bazali na bana te, oyo babota te mpe bamelisa bana mabele te ! »Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Bongo bakoloba na bangomba milayi : « Bokweyela biso ! » Mpe bakoloba na bangomba mikuse : « Bozipa biso ! »At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Pamba te soki bato bazali kosala makambo ya boye na nzete ya mobesu, ekozala ndenge nini na nzete ya kokawuka ?For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Bamemaki mpe mibali mosusu mibale, babomi bato, mpo na koboma bango elongo na Yesu.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Tango bakomaki na esika oyo babengaka « Gologota, » babakaki kuna Yesu elongo na babomi mibale wana ya bato : moko, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Yesu ; mosusu, na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi.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.

34Yesu alobaki : — Tata, limbisa bango mpo ete bayebi te makambo oyo bazali kosala . Mpe bakabolaki bilamba na Ye, na kobeta zeke.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Bato batelemaki wana, bazalaki kotala ; mpe bakambi batiolaki Ye, balobaki : — Abikisaki bato mosusu ; tika ete amibikisa ye moko, soki penza azali Klisto, Moponami ya Nzambe !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.”

36Basoda mpe bakendeki mpe batiolaki Ye ; bapesaki Ye vino ya ngayiThe soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37mpe balobaki : — Soki ozali penza mokonzi ya Bayuda, mibikisa yo moko !“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Na likolo ya moto ya Yesu, ezalaki na makomi oyo : Moto oyo azali Mokonzi ya Bayuda.Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Moko kati na babomi bato oyo babakamaki na ba-ekulusu atiolaki Ye : — Boni, ozali Klisto te ? Mibikisa yo moko mpe bikisa biso !One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Kasi mobomi bato mosusu apamelaki ye : — Ozali kobanga Nzambe te mpo ete ozali na se ya etumbu ya ndenge moko na oyo ya Ye !But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Biso, tozwi penza etumbu na ndenge ya bosembo, pamba te tozali kozwa mbano ya misala mabe na biso ; kasi tata oyo asali ata mabe moko te.We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Bongo alobaki lisusu : — Yesu, kanisa ngai tango okokota kati na Bokonzi na Yo.Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yesu azongiselaki ye : — Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo : lelo, okozala elongo na Ngai kati na Paradizo.And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Na ngonga pene ya midi, molili ekotaki na mokili mobimba kino na ngonga ya misato ya pokwa,It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45pamba te moyi etikaki kongenga, mpe rido monene ya Tempelo epasukaki na kati-kati.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Yesu agangaki na mongongo makasi : — Tata, nazongisi molimo na Ngai kati na maboko na Yo. Sima na Ye koloba bongo, akataki motema.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.

47Tango mokonzi ya basoda ya Rome amonaki makambo oyo eleki, akumisaki Nzambe mpe alobaki : — Moto oyo azalaki penza sembo !When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Tango bato nyonso oyo basanganaki wana, mpo na kotala makambo oyo ezali kosalema, bamonaki makambo oyo ekweyi, batiaki maboko na bango na batolo na bango mpe bazongaki.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Kasi bato nyonso oyo bayebaki Yesu, mpe basi oyo balandaki Ye longwa na Galile, batelemaki na mosika mpe bazalaki kotala ndenge makambo ezali koleka.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Kati na Likita-Monene ya Bayuda, ezalaki na moto moko, kombo na ye « Jozefi. » Azalaki moto malamu mpe moto ya sembo,Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51mpe andimaki te mikano mpe misala ya bato mosusu ya Likita-Monene ; azalaki moto ya mboka Arimate, engumba ya Bayuda, mpe azalaki kozela Bokonzi ya Nzambe.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.

52Akendeki epai ya Pilato mpo na kosenga nzoto ya Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Bongo akitisaki nzoto yango longwa na ekulusu, alingaki yango na liputa ya lino, mpe atiaki yango kati na kunda oyo batobolaki kati na libanga moko ya monene epai wapi batikalaki nanu kokunda ata moto moko te.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.

54Ezalaki mokolo ya komilengela, wana Saba elingaki kobanda.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Basi oyo bawutaki na Galile elongo na Yesu balandaki Jozefi, bamonaki kunda mpe ndenge nini atiaki nzoto ya Yesu kati na kunda yango.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Sima, bazongaki epai na bango mpe babongisaki mafuta ya solo kitoko mpe malasi. Kasi bapemaki na mokolo ya Saba, kolanda ndenge mobeko ezalaki kosenga.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
