Luke 23 (MGV) · Opened

1Ndipala boka batenda kujema, nu kumpeleka Yesu kwaka Pilatu.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Batumbuliya kuntakii koni bakapwaga, “Tunkoli mundu ajo jaahoa bandu biito kwa malobi gisoli. Jaakana bandu kulepa kodi kwaka nkolongu juku Loma, jupwaaga jombi ndi Kilisitu, Bambo nkolongu.”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.”

3Pilatu andalukiya Yesu, “Boo, we lee Bambu Nkolongu wa Ayaude?” Yesu jajibua, “Ngati egupwagiki weapa.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Ndienu Pilatu jaapwagila agolu akolongu nu nsambi wa bandu bala, “Ngase nilibweni likosa lokapi lejutei mundu jonzo.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Lakini bombi bahingamaki ngamaa koni apwaaga, “Kupetea mabolee gaki jaakwelake bandu baabii ku ndema juku Yudea. Jatumbuliya ku Galilaya mbaka kongo.”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.”

6Pilatu pajajogwa haga, andalukiya, “Boo, mundu hoju mwenei juku Galilaya?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Pilatu pajamanya Yesu jahumi mundema jejitawala Helodi, ampelika kwaka Helodi, jojabii ku Yelusalemu masoba gegala.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Helodi pa ambona Yesu, jatogulii ngamaa ndaba masoba gingi japala kumbona. Jabia jujoini majambu gaki na japala jubona ndonduke kuhuma kwaki.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.

9Helodi andalukiya Yesu malobi gingi lakini Yesu ngasejajibwiki sokapi.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Agolu akolongu na aka abola ba Malagalaki bajemiki pala, bumpikia Yesu magambu gingi kwa makili ngamaa.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Helodi na alonda baki bunhengila Yesu liyaa nu kundongama. Bunhwatika ingobu ya sapi ngamaa ngati laka bambu nkolongu, nu kunkelabuu kwaka Pilatu.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Tumbuka lisoba le leli, Helodi jabia nkosi waka Pilatu, kabula ja masoba gu munyuma batenda kusukiana.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Ndienu, Pilatu jaakema pamu aka agolu akolongu, aka kilongosi na bandu,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14jaapwagila, “Mundetiki mundu ajoo kwangu ngati jojaakonga bandu. Ne nundaluki palongi jinu, lakini ngasenilibweni likosa lokapi lemuntakali.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.

15Najombi Helodi ahelahe ankelabwi mundu jonzo kwitu, ndaba ngasejilibweni likosa lake. Henu mundu jonzo ngase jatei sokapi sesunhenga kuwa.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Henu nagalaki mundapula iboku, ndi mundekakiya jujenda.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Kila lisoba la tipati ja Pasaka, Pilatu jwayobali kundekake mpungwa jumu.Not in the BSB

18Lakini bandu boti bajamaliya pamwa, “Gunkoma mundu hoju, utubopuliya Balaba!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Balaba jabia mundu joankongiki mkipungu ndaba jukusababisa puju jejapiti kumusi nukukoma bandu.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilatu japala kundekake Yesu, henu jalongila nabu kabee.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Lakini bombi bajamalya kwa sauti, “Mumbambaliya mu nsalaba! Mumbambaliya mu nsalaba!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Pilatu jaapwagila kwa mala ja tatu, “Ndaba ja kike? Boo jutei likosa boo mundu we jone? Ngase nilibweni likosa lokapi leluntenda mbaka kunkoma. Henu nu ndapu iboku ya ndomondo nu kundekakela.”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.”

23Lakini bombi baendalya kujamali kwa sauti ngolongu ngamaa, bapala ambambaliya Yesu mu nsalaba. Kujamali kwabu buntenda Pilatu jujetakiya.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Ndienu Pilatu jaamua sebapala bandu bala kihengika.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Andekakiya mundu jobumpala jola, jobummbei mukipungu jojwatei puju nukukoma bandu na kwaapeke Yesu bunhengila seapala.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Pababia bumpeleka, baketangana na mundu jumu jobunkema Simoni, mwenei juku Kilene, jojabia juhuma ku litui. Ndipala bunkamula, buntweka nsalaba we gola ili jutotula su munyuma jaka 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.

27Nsambi nkolongu wa bandu unkagula Yesu, pamu na aka mbomba bababia alobalake nu kundele Yesu.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yesu jaang'anumbukiya na kwaapwaagi, “Mbanganya mwa aka mbomba buku Yelusalemu, mwinele nenga, ila nndela ndaba jinu mwabeti na bana bino.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Ndaba gahika masoba pabipwaga, ‘Nambanga banga akambonga banga kubeleka, banga kuwai kupata bana wala mabeli gangakujongesa bana!’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Masoba ge haga, bandu pa biitumbuka kiipwagi itombi, ‘Mtuhabukiya!’ Ni itombi isoku, ‘Mtuyelalya!’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Ana bandu ahengiki hela ku nkongu mmbei, kwibia boo ku nkongu nzomu?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Bandu bangi abeli bababii baahenga galiya baapeliki pamu na Yesu ili bakaabambaliya.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Pabahika pandu pabapakema, “Lihupa lu Umutu” Ndienu bummbambaliya Yesu pamu na bababi baahenga galiya abeli bala kila mundu nu nsalaba waki, jumu upandi waki wamalele na jongi upandi waki wamangega.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 japwaga “Atati! Waalekakiya mahakahu gabu ndaba ngase amanyiki se ahenga.” Ndienu alonda bala bapega gudugudu ili kubagana ingobu yaki.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Bandu babia ajemiki pala buku ndingalya, na akakolongu ba Ayaudi babia bundongama Yesu bakapwaga, “Jaakombwi bandu bangi, henu julikombula mweni, ana jombi ndi Kilisitu Nkombosi jojuhaguliwi na Sapanga!”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.”

36Ahelahe alonda batenda kundongama kabee, bunzendila nu kumpeke divai jejibabiki,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37nabombi bumpwagila, “Ana sakaka weapa Bambu Nkolongu wa Ayaudi, ulikombula wamwete!”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Panani ju nsalaba waki babia ahandiki malobi ganga, “Jonzo ndi Bambu Nkolongu jwa Ayaudi.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Jumu jojabii jojuhenga galiya babaambalii mu nsalaba antondula Yesu nu kupwaga, “Weapa le nga wi Kilisitu? Ulikombula wamweti na twe utumbula!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Lakini jojuhenga giliyaa jongi jola andakaliya nzaki juliyaa jola nu kupwagi, “Boo weapa ngase gunzogopa Sapanga? Wehapa bukutemu ngati jombi.But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Weapa na nepani bututemwi ngati ekupalika, ndienu tujopiki malepu ga mahengu gitu, lakini mundu jonzo ngasejatei sindu siliya.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Ndipala mundu jola ampwagila Yesu, “Waa Yesu, egwihika mu Ukolongu waku gwingombuka.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yesu japwaga, “Nugupwagi sakaka lelenu gwiibiya pamu nane pandu pa laha pabapakema Paladiso.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Kwabiya saa sita lyoba mutu, lwahika lwii nndema gwooti mbaka saa tisa.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Ndipala, lipazia la Nyumba jaka Sapanga lajenduka hipandi ibele.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Yesu jajamaliya kwa sauti ngolongu, japwaaga, “Atati, Mwamaboku gaku nijibeka loho jango!” Ejapwaaga hela jwatendakuwa.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.

47Nkolongu ja alonda miya moja juku Loma jola pajabona gagapiti, andumbaliya Sapanga nukupwaaga, “Sakaka mundu jonzo jabii jwaamboni.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Bandu boka bababii ahikiki kulingali lijambu heli, pabagabona gagapiti, bajenda mwama nyumba gabu, koni abii nu usungu.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Lakini bandu boti babummanyiki Yesu bajeema su kutali ili bagabona majambu ge haga. Kati jabu babii aka mbomba babunzengali Yesu kuhuma ku Galilaya.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Jabii mundu jumu, lihina laki Josepu jojahumi ku Alimataya musi uku Yudea. Mundu we hoju jwabii jwa amboni na jabii juhenga majambu ga amboni na jabia julendale Ukolongu waka Sapanga.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51Hata ngati Alimatayo jabii jumu kati ja akolongu ba pasengu ja Ayaudi. Lakini ngasejajetaki sebahenga ajake,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.

52Josepu jajenda kwaka Pilatu, kuloba nhyega jaka Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Henu jahulua kuhuma pu nsalaba, jijiwatika sanda, jugubeka pilitenge lelabii ahembiki pi lilibu, lelule ngasebawaiki kuntaga mundu.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.

54Lisoba lee heli labii lijumaa, lisoba le heli labi lisoba lukutumbuli Lisoba lu Kupomulela.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Aka mbomba bala bababii ampwatiki Yesu kuhuma ku Galilaya bumpwata Josepu, na bilibona litenge lela na ebabei nhyega jaka Yesu.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Ndipala babujaninya ku nyumba, baandia mahuta gaganungi sapi ili bijipakia nhyega jaka Yesu. Lisoba lu Kupomulela bapomulya ngati Malagalaki gaka Sapanga egapwaaga.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
