Luke 23 (MSY2020)

1Egha gumazir bɨzim bar dɨkavigha Iesus inigha Pailat bagha zui.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Egha me dɨkavigha a gifara, kamaghɨn a mɨgɨa ghaze, “E gumazir kamɨn garima an en gavmanɨn ikura. Egha a dagɨaba Sisar danɨngan bar en anogoregha, kamaghɨn mɨgɨa ghaze, a uabɨ atrivim ko God Uam E Iniasa Mɨsevezir Gumazim, Krais.”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.”

3Ezɨ Pailat Iesusɨn azai, “Nɨ Judabar atrivim, o?” Ezɨ Iesus ghaze, “Are, nɨ mɨkemezɨ moghɨra.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Ezɨ Pailat kamaghɨn ofa gamir gumazir ekiaba koma gumazamizibav gɨa ghaze, “Kɨ gumazir kamɨn arazir kuratamɨn apizir puvatɨ.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Ezɨ me bar gavgavigha kamaghɨn mɨgɨa ghaze, “A Galilin Distrighɨn ikegha nguibabagh aruava men sure gamua men navibagh inivava da fe. Egha datɨrɨghɨn a Judian Provinsɨn izegha kagh otogha kamaghɨn amuavɨra iti.”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.”

6Ezɨ Pailat mɨgɨrɨgɨar kam baregha kamaghɨn men azara, “Kar Galilin gumazim?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Iesus, Herot garir Provinsɨn ikezɨma, Pailat kamaghɨn fogha anemadazɨ, a Herot bagha ghu. Dughiar kamɨn Herot uaghan Jerusalemɨn iti.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Herot fomɨra Iesusɨn ganasa ifuegha, an ganizir puvatɨgha dughiar kamɨn an an ganigha, bar akonge. Egha Iesusɨn akaba baregha an mirakelɨn tamɨn ganasa.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.

9Egha Herot azangsɨzir avɨravɨribar Iesus gamima, a bar an azangsɨzitam ikarazir puvatɨ.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Ezɨ ofa gamir gumazir ekiaba, ko Judan Arazibagh fozir gumaziba, me roghɨra tuivighav ikia an atara akaba pamtem a gasi.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Ezɨ Herot uan mɨdorozir gumaziba ko an atarava dɨbovir akar kurabar a mɨgei. Egha me atrivimɨn inir aghuir mam inigha a gikegha, uam anemadazɨ, a Pailat bagha zui.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Fomɨra Herot Pailatɨn apanim, egha dughiar kamɨn, aning roroamning.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Ezɨ Pailat, ofa gamir gumazir ekiaba ko gumazir aruaba ko gumazamiziba, men deima me bar uari akuvagha iti.Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Ezɨ a kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Ia gumazir kam inigha na bagha ize. Egha ia kamaghɨn mɨgei, ‘A gumazamizibav geima me gavmanɨn ikura.’ Ezɨ kɨ ian damazimɨn arazir kabanagh bagha an azangsɨki. Ia oragh! Kɨ gumazir kamɨn arazitam batozir puvatɨ. Ia purama a gifari.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.

15Ezɨ Herot uaghan nɨghnɨzir kam ikia, gumazir kam e bagha uam anemada. Ia oragh! An arazir kuratam damighɨva, an ovengam. Gumazir kam arazir kuratam gamizir puvatɨ, an ovengan kogham.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Kamaghɨn amizɨ, kɨ pura a fozoregh, an ateghtɨ a mangam.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

18Ezɨ gumazamiziba bar moghɨra tuai, “Gumazir mamɨn mɨsokegh! Egh Barabas ateghtɨ an e bagh izɨ!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19(Barabas a fomɨra Romɨn gavmanɨn ikuragha Jerusalemɨn nguibamɨn aven mɨdorozim fore. Ezɨ gumazir maba ariaghire. Ezɨ me a isa kalabus gatɨ.)(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Ezɨ Pailat Iesus ateghtɨ a mangasa ua me mɨgei.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Ezɨ me kamaghɨn tuai, “A isɨ ter ighuvimɨn a gafugh! E a isɨ ter ighuvimɨn a gafugh!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Ezɨ dughiar mɨkezim a kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Manmagh su? An arazir kurar manam gami? Kɨ an arazir kuratamɨn apizir puvatɨ. An arazir kuratam damighɨva an ovengam. Gumazir kam arazir kuratam gamizir puvatɨ. Kɨ puram a fozoreghɨva aneteghtɨ, a mangam.”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.”

23Ezɨ me bar moghɨra gavgavigha dei, “Iesus isɨva ter ighuvimɨn a gafugh!” Ezɨ men dɨmdiaba bar Pailatɨn akam gafira.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Ezɨ Pailat men akamɨn gɨn ghugha, Iesus mɨgɨa ghaze, an ovengam.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Gumazamiziba me Pailatɨn deima a Barabas ataki. Gumazir kam a gavman ikuragha mɨdorozim forezɨma, gumazir maba ariaghire. Ezɨ me a isa kalabus gatɨ. Ezɨ Pailat gumazamizibar nɨghnɨzimɨn gɨn ghuava, Iesus isa mɨdorozir gumazibar dafarim gatɨ.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Ezɨ mɨdorozir gumaziba Iesus inigha zuima, Sairinin gumazir mam an ziam Saimon, a Jerusalemɨn mangasa iza me gitavɨrazɨma, me an suira. Egha me ter ighuvim an dɨpɨzim gatɨgha a mɨgeima, a Iesusɨn gɨn zui.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.

27Ezɨ gumazir avɨrim an gɨn ghua, amiziba a bagha aziava azirakar ighiar amɨrizibagh ami.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Ezɨ Iesus raghɨrɨgha kamaghɨn me mɨgɨa ghaze, “Ia Jerusalemɨn amiziba, ia na bagh arangan markɨ. Ia uari ko uan boriba bagh arang!But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Gɨn dughiatam otoghtɨma, me kamaghɨn mɨkɨm suam, ‘Amizir furabaghatiba ko amizir tɨghar boriba batamiba ko, amizir oteba boribagh anɨngizir puvatɨziba, me bar akuegham.’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30“ ‘Egh me dughiar kamɨn kamaghɨn mɨghsɨabav kɨmam, “Ia e gisɨn irɨghɨva, e mongegh!” ’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31“Me datɨrɨghɨn arazir kamɨn temer angamtɨzim damighɨva arazir manatamɨn temer mɨdiarim damuam?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Ezɨ mɨdorozir gumaziba gumazir kurar pumuning Iesus ko aning mɨsueghtɨma, me aremeghasa aning inigha izi.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Egha me ghua danganir mamɨn oto, an ziam Dapanir Agharim. Egha me danganir kam Iesus isa ter ighuvimɨn anegura. Me uaghan gumazir kuramning agurazɨma, mam an agharir guvimɨn itima, mam an agharir kɨriamɨn iti.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.

34Ezɨ Iesus kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Afeziam, me amir biziba, me dagh fozir puvatɨ. Nɨ men arazir kuraba gɨn amadagh.” Ezɨ mɨdorozir gumaziba Iesusɨn korotiaba iniasa satu gikararai.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Ezɨ gumazamiziba an gara tuivighav itima, gumazir dapaniba uaghan an gara mɨnbaba sighsirava kamaghɨn a mɨgei, “A gumazir mabar akurvakis. Egh a guizbangɨra God Uam E Iniasa Mɨsevezir Gumazim, gumazir God inabazim, a uabɨ uabɨn akuragh.”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.”

36Ezɨ mɨdorozir gumaziba iza uaghan a dɨpovava, egha wainɨn dɨpar mɨsozim a ganɨga kamaghɨn a mɨgei, “Nɨ guizbangɨra Judabar atrivir gumazim, nɨ uabɨ uabɨn akuragh!”The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

38Egha mɨdorozir gumaziba osizirir mam Iesusɨn dapanim gisɨn anegura. An osiziriba kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Gumazir kam Judabar Atrivim.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Ezɨ gumazir kurar mam ter ighuvimɨn guraghav ikia, atara kamaghɨn Iesus mɨgei, “Nɨ guizbangɨra God Uam E Iniasa Mɨsevezir Gumazim, nɨ uabɨn akurvaghɨva ga sarama akuragh!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Ezɨ gumazir kurar igharazim atarava kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Nɨ ovengasava amuava, Godɨn atiati, o puvatɨ?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Me deragha ga gami, ga uan arazir kurabagh ipuri. Ezɨ gumazir kam arazir kuratam gamizir puvatɨ.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Egha gumazir kam kamaghɨn Iesus mɨgei, “Iesus, nɨ gɨn atrivimɨn ikiamin dughiam, nɨ na ginɨrɨgh.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Ezɨ Iesus kamaghɨn a mɨgei, “Kɨ guizbangɨra nɨ mɨgei, nɨ datɨrɨghɨn na ko Godɨn Nguibar Aghuarimɨn ikiam.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Ezɨ aruem dughiar kamɨn garir puvatɨ. Kamaghɨn amizɨ, mɨtatem 12 kloghɨn nguazim bar anevaragha ghua 3 kloghɨn tu. Ezɨ Godɨn Dɨpenimɨn itir inir ekiam tongɨra bɨki.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

46Ezɨ Iesus pamtem kamaghɨn dei, “Afeziam, kɨ uan duam nɨn dafarim garɨsi.” A kamaghɨn mɨkemegha, uan duam sue.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.

47Ezɨ mɨdorozir gumazibar gumazir dapanim kamaghɨn ganighava Godɨn ziam fe. Egha kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Guizbangɨra, kar gumazir aghuim, a bizitam pazava a gamizir puvatɨ.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Ezɨ gumazamizir iza itiba bizir kabanangɨn gari da otivima, me azia, uan afarɨzibav sogha, uan dɨpenibar zui.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Ezɨ Iesus gɨfozir gumaziba, ko amizir an gɨn Galilin Distrighɨn izeziba, me mong saghon tuivigha ikia, bizir kabar gari da otifi.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Ezɨ gumazir mam, an ziam Josep, a Judian Provinsɨn nguibam Arimatean ikegha ize. A gumazir aghuim, a Godɨn damazimɨn arazir aghuibagh amir gumazim, egha a Judan kotɨn aven itir gumazir aruabar gumazir mam. Egha a men nɨghnɨziba ko arazibar gɨn mangan aghua. A God Bizibagh Ativamin Dughiam baghavɨra mɨzua iti.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

52Egha Josep Iesusɨn kuam iniasa ghua Pailatɨn azarazɨma, Pailat an amamangatɨ.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Ezɨ a Iesusɨn kuam ter ighuvimɨn anedegha, inir ghurghurimɨn a righa, a inigha ghua dagɨar torir me fomɨra gumazir kuatam atɨzir puvatɨzim gatɨ.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.

54Kar dughiar bizibar kɨrim, ezɨ Sabatɨn dughiam roghɨra ize.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Ezɨ amizir Iesusɨn gɨn Galilin Distrighɨn izeziba, me Josepɨn gɨn ghua dagɨar torimɨn gari. Egha me uaghan garima, Josep manmaghɨn Iesusɨn kuam atɨ.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Egha me ganigha gɨvaghava, uamategha uan dɨpenibar ghua bizir mughuriaba itiba ko boreba isa da arɨsi. Egha Godɨn osizirim mɨkemezɨ moghɨn, me Sabatɨn dughiamɨn avughsi.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
