Luke 23 (LTH) · Opened

1Kinge edong k'Eyuda kïbëc öya malö otero gïnï Yecu ï nyim Pilato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Kunön gïn öcakö dotho Yecu na kobo gïnï nï, “Wan enwongo ngatï cüpö jïï nï ëk öjëm gïnï ï kom ëlöc. Ën kobo nï kür wan ëöny ocoro both Cija. Ën thon kobo nï ebedo Kiricito, rwoth.”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.”

3Pï man Pilato openyo Yecu nï, “In ënë rwoth k'Eyuda?” Yecu ögamö nï, “Eyo, obedo kite na in ikobo ködë.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Pilato okobo n'ëlamdhök na dito ëka lwak nï, “Ba anwongo gin mörö më ngölö-köp ï wi ngatï.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Ëntö gïn ömëdërë më kwërö nakun kobo gïnï nï, “Ën obedo rubo wi jïï kï pwony mërë ï lobo Yudea kïbëc. Öcakö cüpö jïï kï ï Galilaya naka obino ködë yo Jerucalem kany.”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.”

6Ï karë na dong Pilato owinyo köp ni, ën openyo ka Yecu obedo dhanö më Galilaya.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Na dong önïang nï Yecu tye ï thë löc ka rwoth Erode Antipa, Pilato ömïö etero ën yo both Erode n'onwongo tye ï Jerucalem ï karë nön.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Ï karë n'Erode önënö Yecu, ën ölakërë rwök, pïën pï karë na lac ën onwongo mïtö nënö Yecu. Erode onwongo owinyo nï Yecu obedo tio tango. Ën dong onwongo geno më nënö Yecu na tio tango.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.

9Erode openyo ën peny na pol, ëntö Yecu ba ögamö.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Ëlamdhök na dito ëka epwony cïk ka Muca ocung kunön, na dotho gïnï Yecu.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Cë Erode ëka acikari mërë önywarö ëka öngalö Yecu. Örëpö gïnï böngü dheo na mïmïla ï kome, cë ödwökö gïnï cen both Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Cakërë ï nïnö nonu, Erode ëka Pilato ödökö gïnï okone ëntö onwongo cön gïn dïngërë.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Kinge Pilato ocwodo ëlamdhök na dito, ëtëla ëka lwak kanya acël.Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Ën okobo nïgï nï, “Un ikelo dhanö ni botha k'adoth nï ën obedo tëlö jïï më jëm. Apenyo ën na un itye kany, ëntö ba anwongo gin mörö na nyutho nï ën öbalö gin na un idotho ën ïë.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.

15Kadï thon Erode ba onwongo bal mërë mörö, pïën ën odwongo Yecu cen both onu. Dong nen kanyalër nï ngatï ba öbalö gin mörö na wëkö angölö thöö ï wie.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Pï manön abino mïö ëk epwod ën kï del ëka ëgöny ökö.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Onwongo mïtërë nï, ï karë më Karama më Poth, Pilato myero ögöny ngat acël kï kin jö n'etweo ëk ömïï both Eyuda.Not in the BSB

18Ëntö lwak oredo awang acël nï, “Nek ën ökö! Göny nïwa Baraba!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Baraba onwongo etweo ï buc, pïën obedo cüpö lwak më jëmö n'öcakërë kï ï Jerucalem, ëka pïën ën oneko dhanö mörö.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilato onwongo mïtö gönyö Yecu ökö, cë dök okobo both lwak nï bal ka Yecu mörö ope.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Ëntö lwak oredo kï pol apola nï, “Gur ën ï kor yath arïa! Gur ën ï kor yath arïa!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Ën ötwak ködgï wang më adek na kobo nï, “Pïngö kara? Bal ngö na ën ötïmö? An gira ba anwongo gin mörö na rac më ngölö thöö ï wie. Pï manön abino mïö epwodo kï del cë ëgönyö ökö.”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.”

23Ëntö lwak ömëdërë gïnï kï redo rwök arwöka nï myero egur Yecu ï kor yath arïa. Wöögï ölökö cwiny Pilato.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Man öwëkö Pilato öngölö nï ëk enek Yecu ökö kite na lwak ömïtö.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Ën ögönyö ngat n'onwongo etweo ï buc pï cüpö lwak më jëmö ëka pï nek. Ngat nön ënë Baraba, n'onwongo lwak ömïtö nï ëk ëgöny. Pilato öcakö dong mïö Yecu bothgï kite na gïn ömïtö ködë.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Ï karë n'acikari tero Yecu më aneka, gïn ömakö ëcwö na nyïngë Cimon më pacö Cirene n'onwongo tye ka bino kï ï peci na yökö. Gïn ödïö ën nï oryong yath arïa ölüb kï kör Yecu.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.

27Lwak ölübö kör Yecu. Jö mökö kï ï kin-gï obedo mon na kumo ëka kok pï Yecu.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yecu öwïrë cë okobo nïgï nï, “Un mon më Jerucalem, kür ikok unu pïra. Kok unu pïrwu ëka pï ëthïnöwu.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Pïën karë bino bino nï bino unu kobo nï, ‘Komgï gum mon na ba önywöl ëka na ba ödödhö ëthïnö.’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Cë, “ ‘Gïn bino kobo both kite nï, “Podh unu ï komwa!” Ëka nï kany otingere, “Umwa!” ’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31“Pïën ka jïï tïma köman na balna mörö ope, cë ngat öbalö gïn bino tïmö na rac kömënë?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Ï karë nön mwony onwongo tye ka tero ëbal arïö nökënë kï Yecu më cïdhö gurogï ï kor yath arïa.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Ï karë na dong othuno gïnï kany ecwodo nï Cogo Wic, eguro Yecu ï kor yath arïa kanya acël k'ëbal arïö, ngat acël kucem mërë ëka ngat acël kucam mërë.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.

34Yecu ölëgö nï, “Apap, tïm nïgï kïca, pïën gïn ba ngeo ngö na gïn tye ka tïmö.” Cë acikari opoko böng mërë kï bolo kwir.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Lwak ocung nënö, ëka ëtëla k'Eyuda öngalö Yecu, na kobo gïnï nï, “Ën ölarö jö nökënë. Ëk dong ölarë kënë ka ënë Meciya k'Obanga, Ngat n'ëyërö.”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.”

36Acikari thon obino cë gïn öngalö Yecu. Gïn ömïö ën köngö ölök na wac më nywarö ënThe soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37ëka okobo gïnï nï, “Ka in ënë rwoth k'Eyuda, lari!”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Cöc onwongo tye ka wie na kwanërë nï, “Man Ënë Rwoth k'Eyuda.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Abal acël n'onwongo eguro ködë, öyanyö Yecu na kobo k'arath nï, “Ba ibedo Meciya? Lari ëka ilarwa thon!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Ëntö abal nökënë ocoko awodhe na kobo nï, “In ba ilworo Obanga kite na in inwongo pwod na röm ködwa?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Pwod ön opore, pïën onu ëtïmö gin na rac rwök. Ëntö dhanö ni ba öbalö gin mörö.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Cë ën okobo nï, “Yecu, po pïra ka ibino dönyö ï Kerni.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yecu ögamö nïnë nï, “An akobo nini köp adyer, tin ibino bedo köda ï paradic.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Caa nön onwongo dyere ceng. Pïny ödökö na cöl nicuc ï lobo nön naka caa abungwën.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Ceng ojiko ryëny ökö. Ëcëngë na tye ï öt k'Obanga öyëc opokere ïë arïö.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Yecu oredo kï dwön na tëk nï, “Apapna, amïö tipona ï cingi.” Na dong okobo köp ni, ën öthöö ökö.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.

47Adit acikari ka jö Roma önënö ngö n'ötïmërë cë öpakö Obanga, na kobo ï kom Yecu nï, “Kara ngatï onwongo kite atïr adyer.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Na jö na pol n'onwongo ögürë gïnï më nënö ngö na tye ka tïmërë, gïn odhongo korgï kï cwer cwiny cë ödök gïnï yo pecigï.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Ëka thon jö kïbëc n'ongeo Yecu, mëd kï mon n'onwongo ölübö körë kï ï Galilaya, ocung gïnï kicen më rïpö ngö na tye ka tïmërë.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Ëcwö mörö onwongo yam tye na nyïngë Yocepu, n'onwongo yaa kï ï taun më Arimethea më lobo Yudea. Yocepu onwongo obedo dhanö na bër ëka kite atïr. Ën onwongo obedo ngat acël ï athuko më pido k'Eyuda. Ëntö ën obino ökwërö ngö na öt pido omoko ëka ötïmö më neko Yecu. Obedo kürö karë na Ker k'Obanga bino bino ïë.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

52Ëcwö nön öcïdhö both Pilato cë ökwaö kom Yecu ëk ïcïdh eiki.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Yocepu ökwanyö kom Yecu pïny cë oboo kï böngü na leng, ëka opyelo ï öd lyël n'egworo ï öd lore, kanya bara eiko dhanö mörö ïë.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.

54Nïnö nonu onwongo obedo ceng n'Eyuda yübërë gïnï pï Cabït, ëka caa më cakërë mërë onwongo dong cwök.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Mon mökö n'onwongo ölübö kör Yecu kï ï Galilaya ölübö gïnï kör Yocepu yo ka lyël. Gïn önënö kite n'epyelo kï kom Yecu ï od lyël.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Cë ödök gïnï cen yo pacö co yübö gïn na kur ëka möö më wiro kome. Ëntö gïn oyweo ï nïnö më Cabït, kite na cïk ka Muca okobo nï myero ötïm gïnï ködë.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
