Luke 23 (MPA) · Opened

1Bhela bhandu bhokapi bha pachengo pakolongwa bhakajemiki na kumpeleka Yesu kwaka Pilato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Bhakatumbwi kuntakila, bhakapwaghaje, “Tunketani mundu ajoju akabhakoluwa bhandu bhitu. Apenga kulepa kode kwaka Kaisali, na kulilowa kubha jombi nde Kristo, Nkolongwa.”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 akundaluki Yesu, “Bho, wehapa le unkolongwa wa Bhayahude?” Yesu akayangike, “Wehapa upwaghike.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Bhela Pilato akabhapwaghi bhapenganyambiku bhakolongwa na lipogha la bhandu kubha, “Nepani ngachemona lihakau lokapi lela la kuntaki mundu ajoju.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Nambu bhombi bhakajomalaki nakanopi, bhakapwaghaje, “Kwa mabholu ghaki abhachochake bhandu bhabhabhi ku Yudea jokapi. Akatumbwi ku Galilaya na sajenu abhi pitu pani.”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.”

6Pilato paajowini malobhi ghanihagha, akalalukile, “Bho, mundu ajo le mwenei wa ku Galilaya?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Paakamanyi kubha Yesu akahumi ku inchi jeatawala Helode, akumpeliki kwaka Helode, maghambu akabhi ku Yelusalemu chikahi chela.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Helode paakambweni Yesu, akahekali namaa maghambu kwa machobha ghamahele akabhi atokule kumbona. Maghambu akajowini malobhi panani jaki, najombi akapaliki kubhona nginyulila kuhuma kwaka Yesu.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.

9Bhela Helode akundaluki Yesu malalukilu ghamahele, nambu Yesu ngacheayangiki lilobhi.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Bhapenganyambiku bhakolongwa na bhabhola bha Shelia bhakajemiki panipala, bhakabhoha matakilu ghabhu kwa makili panani jaka Yesu.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Bhela Helode papamu na manjolinjoli bhaki bhakunhekiki Yesu na kundongama. Bhakunhwatiki ingobhu jinyahi ngati nkolongwa na kunkelabhu kwaka Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Kutumbu lichobha heli Helode akabhi nkochi waka Pilato, maghambu pamwandi bhakabhi maadui.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Bhela Pilato akalohiki uhimanganu wa bhapenganyambiku bhakolongwa, ihongozi bha bhandu na bhandu bhabhu,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14na kubhapwaghila, “Mundetiki mundu ajo kwangu mkapwagha kubha abhachochake bhandu. Henu nepani nundaluki malobhi ghaki palongi jinu, nambu ngachenumbweni na lihakau lokapi lela lemuntaki mabhanganya.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.

15Hata Helode ngacheambweni na lihakau, na kwa ndandi jeniheji ankelawi kwitu. Chakaka kubha mundu ajoju ngacheahengiki lihakau lokapi lela lelumpalika kupotela.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Bhela ananaghalakya alapulika iboku, na kundekakela.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Bhela kila lichobha la Uwangalalu wa Pasaka, Pilato ikampaliki kubhabhopule bhandu nkongeka jumu.Not in the BSB

18Nambu bhokapi kwa papamu bhakajamali, bhakapwaghaje, “Umboha mundu hoju! Utubhopulya Balaba!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Balaba bhakunkongiki kwa kutumbuli fujo yeyatendakiki ku muchi na kwa ndandi ja kukoma.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilato akapaliki kundekake Yesu, bhela akalongi nabhu kabhete.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Nambu bhombi bhakajamali kabhete, “Unhwamba punsalaba! Unhwamba punsalaba!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Pilato akabhapwaghi kabheti mala ja katatu, “Bho, maghambu ja kyane? Bho, ahengiki lihakau bhole? Ngachemweni lihakau lokapi kwaki lelumpalika kukomakeka. Bhela ananundapula iboku ya ndomondo na 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.”

23Nambu bhombi bhakajendali kujamali nakanopi, bhakajopa Yesu awambakika punsalaba. Na kwa kujamalila kwabhu kukantendiki Pilato ajetakyaje.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Bhela Pilato akaamwi kubhahenge ngati mobhapalilaje.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Akumbopuli mundu jobhumpalika jola, joakongakiki muchifungu kwa kuchokake fujo na kukoma, na kumboha Yesu kwabhu nahuli bhunhengila ngati mobhapalilaje.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Pabhakabhi bhumpeleka, bhakahimangini na mundu jumu joalowakika Simoni, mwenei wa ku Kilene, joakabhi ahuma kungonda kuhika kumuchi. Bhela bhakunkamwili, na kuntweka aunyamula nsalaba punyuma 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.

27Lipogha likolongwa la bhandu lakabhi lunjengalela, pachilanda jabhu bhakabhi akambomba bhakabya bhundelela na kumuombulezela.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yesu akabhang'anambukili na kubhapwaghila, “Mwenga akambomba bha Yelusalemu, ngamwinele nepani, nambu mulilelila mabhete papamu na bhana bhinu.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Kwa ndandi machobha ghahika ambapu bhandu pabhipwagha, ‘Mbanga kwabhu akambomba ngulumba, bhangakubheleka bhana, na bhangakujongeha!’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Chikahi hechi bhandu bhitumbula kwipwaghi itombi, ‘Mtuhabhukyaje!’ Na tutombi, ‘Mtuyekalyaje!’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Kwa ndandi ngati bhandu bhutende nkongu ubhehi ntundu agho, bho, kwibya bhole kwa nkongu ujomo?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Bhakabhatohi kabheti bhahakau bhangi bhabhele, bhakapelakiki kukomakeka papamu na Yesu.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Pabhahiki pandu papalowakeka, “Lifuvu la Mmutu,” panihapa nde pabhunhwambiki Yesu punsalaba papamu na bhahenga mahakau bhala kila jumu punsalaba waki, jumu upambala wa kumalelelu na jongi upambala wa kumangeja ja msalaba waka Yesu.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 akapwaghike, “Atati! Ubhalekakyaje mahoku ghabhu, maghambu ngachebhamanyi lebhalihenga.” Bhela bhakaghabhini ingobhu yaki kwa kwilapuli kula.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Bhandu bhakajemi panipala bhakalingalyaje. Na bhombi bhakolongwa bha Bhayahude bhakundongimi Yesu, “Akabhakengali bhandu bhangi, henu alikengalya mwene, anangati jombi nde Kristo, joahaghuliki na Chapanga!”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.”

36Manjolinjoli na bhombi bhakundongimi, bhakunjendili na kumpeke divai jejibhabha,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37bhakumpwaghile, “Ana ngati chakaka wehapa nde Nkolongwa wa Bhayahude, ulikengalya wamwene!”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Na panani ja msalaba waki ghakalembakiki malobhi ghangane, “AJOJU NDE NKOLONGWA WA BHAYAHUDE.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Mwihi jumu pachilanda ja bhabhawambakiki punsalaba bhala, akuntondwi Yesu, akapwagha, “Bho, nga chakaka le kubha wehapa nde Kristo? Bhela ulikengalya wamwete na utukengalya na tepani!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Nambu mwihi jongi jola akundakali njaki akapwagha, “Bho, wehapa le ngacheunjoghopa Chapanga hata pachokope? Koni nanau utemuliwi bhelabhela.But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Wenga na nepani tutemuliwi ngati mokupalakila, maghambu ghangani nde malepu gha ghala ghatuhengike. Nambu mundu ajoju ngacheahengiki chindu chokapi chihakau.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Bhela akajonjuki kupwagha, “Wenga Yesu, ungombukaje chikahi pawihikaje mu Ukolongwa waku!”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yesu akayangiki, “Chakaka nukupwaghi wehapa lalenu anana, wibya papamu na nepani ku Paladiso.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Ikabhi ngati saa sita ja muhi, lubhendu lukayekiki inchi jokapi mbaka saa tisa,It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45na lipanzia lelakabhi libhekakiki mu Nyumba jaka Chapanga lakakachwiki ipandi ibhele.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Panihapa Yesu akajamali, akapwagha, “Atati! Mu mabhoku ghaku nijibheka roho jangu.” Na paakajomwi kulongela ghanihagha, akahekiti roho.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.

47Nkolongwa wa manjolinjoli mia moja wa ki Loma jola paakaweni mambu ghanihagha ghaghapitalile, akundumbali Chapanga, akapwagha, “Chakaka mundu ajoju akabhi wambone.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Bhandu bhokapi bhabhalibhongini panipala kwa ndandi ja kulingali mambu ghanihagha, pabhaghaweni ghokapi ghaghapitalile, bhakakelawiki kumanyumba ghabhu koni bhakabya na huzuni ngolongwa.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Bhakochi bhaka Yesu papamu na akambomba bhabhunjengali kutumbu ku Galilaya, bhakajemiki cha kutali bhakalingalya mambu ghanihagha.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Kukabhi na mundu jumu, joalowakika Yusufu, ambaju akabhi mundu wa pachengu, akabhi mundu wamboni na wa kutopela.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51Akabhi mundu wa ku Alimataya, na akabhi alendale kuhika kwa Ukolongwa waka Chapanga. Papamu na kubha akabhi jumu wabhu wa Pachengo Pakolongwa pa Bhayahude, ngacheakajetangani nabhu kwa ghokapi ghabhahengiki bhajake.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.

52Bhela Yusufu akapiti kwaka Pilato, akajopiki ampekya hyegha jaka Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Bhela akajiheli hyegha jaka Yesu kuhuma punsalaba, akajiyongalwi sanda, na kujibheka hyegha jaka Yesu mulitengele lelalenganakiki mu liganga, lelakabhi likona nga kutaghakika 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.

54Lichobha heli lakabhi Ijumaa, na Lichobha la Sabato lakabhi litumbula.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Akambomba bhala bhabhakunjengali Yesu kutumbu ku Galilaya bhakunjengali Yusufu, bhakaliweni litengeli na ntundu hyegha jaka Yesu mobhakajibhekile.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Bhela bhakakelawiki kunyumba, na kulenganakela manungilu na mahuta gha kujipaka hyegha jaka Yesu. Na Lichobha la Sabato bhakapomulili, ngati mojilaghalaki Shelia.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
