Luke 23 (LYN) · Opened

1Cwale esikwata sonje sebeli siimana ni kutwala Jesu kwa Pilato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Cwale sebeli atateka oku mukandimeka aamba nji, “Kame tuna wana wuyu mulume yo yaulula aanu ni kutukanisa nji tulese okuba omutelo kwa Sesale mane ni kwamba nji yonyene yokame Kilesite Ombumu.”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.”

3Cwale Pilalto sebeli omwibanguta nji, “Kana ya wene Ombumu no Majuda? Cwale Jesu sebeli otambula nji, “Nwaamba.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Cwale Pilato sebeli wamba kwa Pulisita akulu naanu no kupula nji, “Kanisiwana omubonda mwa wuyu omulume.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Kono sebeli aongoteta okwamba nji, “Kame afilikanya aanau yo iyeta mu Judeya monje, okutunda mu Galileya mane ni kukeela kuno ku sibaka.”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.”

6Cwale Pilato aba ana kuyupa eyi, sebeli oibanguta nji, “Wuyu mulume neli Mugalileya?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Cwale abana kuyupa nji Jesu kame atunda mu mubuso wa Heloda, sebeli omutumena kwa Heloda ona kwikalanga mu Jelusalema ba nako eyo.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Cwale Heloda aba ana kumona Jesu sebeli owabelelwa onene kakuli kame ana kushukelanga onenene oku mumona, kakuli na kuyupa eyaye mi kame ana kusepa nji atende emakazo injili.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.

9Cwale Heloda sebeli oibanguta Jesu etipuzo no kupula, kono yonyene kasi kutambula.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Akulu no apulisita na n̄oli sebeli aimana balubala lwa Jesu niku mukandimeka.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Heloda ni maslole aye sebeli ayandisa Jesu ni ku mushubaula mane ni kumufuka olwambi no kubenya ni kumuusa kwa Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Okutunda ba liywaa elyo Heloda ni Pilato sebeli akulema oulikani, naba ano kutimbanga onene kunyima.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Pilato cwale sebeli oisana bamweya apulisita akulu na busisi naanu,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14ni kwamba kwa onyene nji, “Kame muna liti wuyu mulume ni kwamba nji kame ayembulula aanu. Cwale aba nina mwibanguta balubala lwenu esawana omubonda mu yaambo yenu mumu kandimeka.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.

15Simba Heloda ni yonyene namono ngeeso, sana muusete kwaaci. Komumone, kakwisa omubonda ana tende owo ofanena elifu.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Cwale kame sa ni mufule ni ku mu lukuluka.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Kakuli Pilato na kufanena okwa lukulwela omunjili ba nako no mukiti.Not in the BSB

18Kono onje sebeli akuwa nji, Aibaiwe! Otulukulwele Banabasi!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19(Omulume ona kubeekiwa mu tolongo mulibaka no mifilifili ana kwingula mu mulenen̄i ni kwibaa.)(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilato sebeli wamba noo kame, mukusinga nji alukulule Jesu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Kono sebeli akuweleza onene nji, “Angongoteliwe! Angongoteliwe!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Sebeli kame wamba noo aka no waatu nji, “Iikene, eso no kwiiba ana tende? siikene esiyi eso ana tende? Mene kakwisa omubonda nina wana mwa yonyene owo ofanena elifu, kame sani mufule ni ku mulukulula.”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.”

23Kono onje sebeli amba mu kukuweleza nji angongoteliwe, mi okusinga koo sebeli kwiyatetetwa.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Cwale Pilato sebeli watula nji kutendiwe omo mu singela.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Cwale sebeli olukuluka omulume ona kubekiwa mu tolongo mulibaka no mifilifili ni kwibaa, woyo ana kukumbela, kono sebeli waaba Jesu mukusinga koo.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Cwale aka mutwalile sebeli alema Simoni na ku Sillene, woyo ona kwiiya okutunda ku naha indina. Sebeli amushimbisa esifapano munyima ya Jesu.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.

27Aanu no kupula sebeli amukon̄anga munyima na akati alila nukufula ba saali mulibaka lyaye.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Kono Jesu sebeli okutemuna ni kwamba kwa onyene nji, “Aana no akati no Jelusalema, mulese ku lila mene, kono mukulile mwenyene naanenu.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Kakuli komumone amaywaa akeyile abo aanu saambe nji, ‘Embuyoti yawo akati no kwaleye, ni mapumo awo nokwa kushimba mane ni maele awo no kwayamwisa!’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Cwale kame satateke okwamba ku malundu nji, ‘Mutukwele beulu!’ mane ni ku tulundu tucana nji, ‘Mutufuke!’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Kakuli nji atende eyi abo eitondo esili eyi no kuyuba, ngasibine saku tendahale aba saikukute?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Eikebenga yiili no alume sebeli aishimba bamweya naye nji akaibae ni Jesu.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Cwale abana kukeela ba sibaka siisaniwa nji Katendele ababo sebeli amungongotela bamweya ni ikebenga yiili. Mi esikebenga esinjili ku lineku no silyo esinjili ku simoo.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.

34Cwale Jesu sebeli wamba nji, Sitange, waa lemene, kakuli kayii eso atenda.” Cwale sebeli akutabela eibyana yaye mu kushebuluka.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Cwale aanu sebeli aimana aalikete. Kono abusisi sebeli anyefula Jesu ni kwamba nji, “Kame ana ku yoyisanga aanu cwale akuyoyise yonyene nji ya Kilesite wa Nyambe, woyo ana kuketa!”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.”

36Amasole nonyene sebeli amuyandisa ni kwiiya kwa yonyene ni kumuba ebeine,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37ni kwamba nji, “Nji yawene Ombumu no Majuda okuyoyise wenyene!”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Mi beulu yaye kame kuna kun̄oliwa elin̄olo nji, “Wuyu ya Mbumu no Majuda,”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Esinjili no sikebanga eso sina kungongoteliwa ni Jesu sebeli saamba nji, “Kawene Kilesite? Okuyoyise mane naaci otuyoyise!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Kono esinjili sebeli simukalimela ni kwamba nji, “Kucili Nyambe, kakuli wene kame oli mu katulo imweya no kufanena okufa.But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Cwale kame tufanena kakuli kame tutambula omupuzo no eyi tunatende, kono wuyu mulume kasitenda esi no kwiiba.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Cwale sebeli wamba nji, “Jesu oka nipuluke abo so kaingene mu mubuso wowe!”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Jesu sebeli wamba kwa yonyene nji, “Niti luli kame ni kwambela nji balelo kame so kaikale ni mene mu Paladaisi.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Kame ina ku kwana enako no munji mi ouwi sebeli ufuka enaha yonje mane konji okakeela ba hola no utanu ni tunee (9)It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45mi eliywaa sebeli liilola, cwale olwambi luna ku tulekiwangwa mu keleke sebeli lukauka bakaci.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Cwale Jesu abana mana okulila ni mulumo munene sebeli wamba nji, “Tate mu maoko owe mwa nibeeka emebo yange!” Cwale abana mana okwamba eyo, sebeli ooyela aka no mamaneneno.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.

47Cwale omutateleli abana kumona eso sina tendahala sebeli oyeema Nyambe ni kwamba nji, “Niti luli wuyu mulume muwa kakwite omubonda!”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Cwale oundi ona kuungana ba sibaka aba ona kumona eso sina kutendahala, cwale sebeli auka ku mindi alemine ba yaali aenine onene.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Cwale onje awo ana kulimukanga Jesu nakati ana kumukon̄a okutunda ku Galileya sebeli aimana oku no kuleba alikete einu eyi.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Cwale kame kuna kwikalanga omulume no litina lya Josefa na ku Alimateya etolopo no Mujuda. Neli omunjili no manduna no Kuta, omulume no kuluka ni uwaa,Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51woyo kasi kutenda esi no kwiiba, kono kame ana kusaelanga omubuso wa Nyambe.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.

52Woyo mulume sebeli ota kwa Pilato nuka kumbela olutu lwa Jesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Cwale sebeli oshimba olutu lwa Jesu ni ku lupungela mu lwambi no likena ni kumubeeka mu liyumbelo omo kaku sikupumbekiwamo kale omunu.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.

54Mi neli eliywaa no ukutukiseta omukiti no Pumulo nji otateke.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Akati ana kumukon̄a Jesu okutunda ku Galileya sebeli amona eliyumbelo omo ana kulangeka Jesu.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Cwale sebeli auka okalukisa emitondo ni maati no kumuwaa ba lutu. Ba liywaa no Pumulo sebeli apumula okukumanena ni mulawo.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
