Luke 23 (NWW) · Opened

1Mbole lumati lwoha lwa bhandu lukiyima na kunnyegha Yesu kwa Pilato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Nabho bhakiyanda kunkokela paakilongela, “Tukimmona mundu ayu kanguapotongana bhandu bha nnima ghwetu, kanguakanikiha bhandu akotoke kunpegha sumu Mutwa nkulu ghwa Akaaloma na kangulikema mwene ndo Kilisito, Mutwa.”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.”

3Ndo Pilato kakinkonya Yesu, “Ghwenga ndo mutwa ghwa Akaayahudi?” Yesu kakinmyanga, “Gwenga ghulongela.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Ndo Pilato kakiaghombela andundame akulu na lumati lwa bhandu, “Nighubhona ng'obhe uhokelo ghwohele ghula kwa mundu ayu!”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Peni bhene bhakikamala kulongela, “Kanguakolekeha bhandu kwa mahundo ghake mu nnima ghwoha ghwa Yudea. Kakiyanda ako Galilaya na hinu kahika aku.”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 pakayihwite agha kakikonya, “Mundu ayu nkolannima ghwa ku Galilaya?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Pakamanyite kukita Yesu kakihuma kunnima ghuubheghite mumakakala gha mutwa Helode, kakinyegha kwa Helode, ywene mumanjubha agho kakibhegha akwo ku Yelusalemu.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Helode kakiyelelwa muno pakammonite Yesu, kiyaha kwa manjubha matangalo kakiyihwa mihalo miyoloho yakya Yesu kakidumbila kummona. Kangi kakipala kummona pakitenda naho.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.

9Helode kakinkonya Yesu makonyo matangalo, peni Yesu kakinnyanga ng'obhe kyohele.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Akaandundame akulu na ahunda bha malaghilo bhakihika kuulongolo, bhakinkokela Yesu kwa ukalipo munu.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Helode na amachonda bhake bhakinkinila Yesu na kunbhikila ubhichi. Bhakinhwaliha lipinda lya kibhutwa na bhakinbhuyila kwa Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Kalongohi, Helode na Pilato bhakibha amyanja, peni kutandila linjubha alyo akibhegha aghanja.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Hinu Pilato kakiakema akaandundame akulu, na hilongohi bha Akaayahudi na bhandu bhangi,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14kakiaghombela, “Mwenga mungunnyegha mundu ayu kwa nenga pamunlongela kukita kanguakolekeha bhandu bhaghukiluke utabhala. Hinu nnyihwe! Mbole ya kuhingukiha nhalo agho paulongolo ghwenu nikighubhona ng'obhe uhokelo mungokelo yenu kwa mwene.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.

15Ebhu Helode kakimmona ng'obhe na uhokelo ghwohele ndo mana kakimmuyila kwa nenga. Kulyaghila mundu ayu katenda ng'obhe kyohele kya kuntenda kahweghe.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Hinu ningukwilikiha katutwe hindomondo na ndanlekekeha.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Mu kila kikubhukubhu kya Pakasa yikibha hitohe ya Palato kubhahughulila bhandu nbhopwa yumu.Not in the BSB

18Ndo bhandu bhoha bhakituta kyobho kwa papamu, “Ghunkome mundu aywo! Ghutuhughulile Balaba!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Balaba kakibhopwa mu kibhopo kiyaha kakilongoha bhulwa ngulu mu kitami na kya kukoma.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilato kakipala kunlekekeha Yesu, ndo kakilongela nabho kangi.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Peni bhene bhakiyendelela kututa kyobho pakilongela, “Ghunmangalile mulupingika! Ghunbhambe mulupingika!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Kya pa ndatu Pilato kakiaghombela, “Katenda uhekelo ghani? Nenga ningughubhona ng'obhe uhokelo ghwohele kwa ywombe lya kuntenda kakomwe, hinu nda nntuta hindomondo mbole ndanlekekeha.”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.”

23Peni bhene bhakiyendelela kututa kyobho kwa makakala muno, kukita yingunnogha kakamangalilwe. Mu uhiko malobhe ghabhe ghakikingamwa.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Hinu Pilato kakilamula kukita kila bhaakipala bhandu kitendeke.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Kakimmopolela yula mundu bhaanpalite, ywakabheghite mu kibhopo, ywene ywakatendite bhulwa ngulu kwa utabhala na kukoma bhandu. Na kakinkamuha Yesu mu mabhoko ghabhe, ngati bhantendele handa mwaapalite.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Amachonda pa abheghite mu kunnyegha ku Goligota, bhakikongana na mundu yumu ankemite Simoni ghwa Kulene, ywakabheghite mu kubhuya kuhuma panji ya kitami. Hinu bhakinkamula na bhakinpapiha lula lupingika kaluyeghe kuhyetu kwa 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.

27Lumati lukulu lwa bhandu lukimmutukila, pakibhegha adala bhaabheghite mu kunlilila na kunhyononekela.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yesu kakiaghalambukila, na kakiaghombela, “Mwenga makaadala ghwa Yelusalemu, nkotoke kunilila nenga ngati mulilile mabhene na bhana bhenuBut Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Kiyaha kulyaghila manjubha ghatahika apo bhatalongela, ‘Bhanonelwa bhala adala bhangalela, ebu mabhele ghangayongeha.’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Kiyaha mu manjubha agho bhandu bhatayanda kuhighombela hitumbi, ‘Mutughweghele!’ Na hitumbi hichoko hichoko, ‘Mutugubike’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Kiyaha handa bhandu bhaghutendelaa bhabhu nkongo nmihi, kwa njilo yabhegha bhuli?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Machonda bhakintola Yesu papamu na ahakata abhili, ngati bhakabhambwe mulupingika.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Paahikite pala apakemite Lihuhu lya Mutwe, apa ndo bhakinmangalila Yesu mulupingika, na bhala ahakata abhili bhakiabhamba kila yumo mulupingika lwake yumo mu mbande hyaki ya nnilo ya Yesu na yumo mumbande hyaki ya kungiya.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 kakilongela, “Tate ghubhalekekehe kiyaha bhangumanya ng'obhe kila kyabhaatenda!” Mbole bhakigabhana mapinda ghake kwa kutenda simbi.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 bhakiyima apwo pa akinlolekeha, na hilongohi ghwa Akaayahudi bhakinbhicha Yesu pa akilongela. “Kakialopoha bhangi! Hinu kalilopohe mwene, handa mwene ndo Kilisito ywakahaghulitwe 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.”

36Amachonda nabho bhakihika, na bhakintendela ubhichi na kunkinila, bhakinyeghela kilobhi ili kakanyweghe.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Nabho bhakinng'ombela, “Handa ghwenga ndo Mutwa ghwa Akaayahudi, ghulilopohe ghumwene.”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Hilahila unani mwa lupingika lwake bhakilubhika lupapi luutyekitwe malembo agha, “AYU NDO MUTWA GHWA AKAAYAHUDI.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Yumoo ghwa bhala ahokelo bhaamangalilitwe papamu naywo kakintendela ufyangu pakalongele, “Ghwenga ndo Kilisito ng'obhe? Ghulilopohe ghumwene na ghutulopohe na twenga.”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Yula nhokelo yungi kakinlakalila nnyake, pakilongela, “Ghwenga, bhuli ghungunnyoghopa ng'obhe Chapanga na ghubhegha mutoso ahyo ahyo?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Twenga tutoswa kwa shaliya kiyaha tungunoghwa toso ya ndendelo yetu. Peni mundu ayu kakitenda ng'obhe kyohele kihakata.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Mbole kakilongela, “Bambo Yesu, ghuhwachile nenga paghuyingila mu Ubhutwa ghwako.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yesu kakinnyanga, “Kulyaghila, nungughughombela hoto, lelo ghwabhegha papamu na nenga ku Paladiso.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Yikibhegha handa saa sita, kukibhegha na lubhindu mu nnima ghwoha mbaka saa tisa, kiyaha luchubha lukileka kubhuha bhwelo.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Na lipasia liighabhanite pabhili Kitutubhi kya Chapanga likibaluka hipalamande hibhili.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Yesu kakilila kwa lilobhe likulu, “Tate, mu mabhoko ghako ningughubhika nhuki ghwangu.” Mbole ya kughalongela agha kakihwegha.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.

47Yula machonda kilongohi pakabhonite agha, kakintika Chapanga pakilongela, “Kulyaghila mundu ayu kakighatughilagha ghala ghakaghapala Chapanga!”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Bhandu bhoha bhaaghendite kwakya nhalo agho, paabhonote agho ghaabwitukilite bhakibhuya ukaya kwabhe kunu bhaakilituta tuta mu hifubha hyabhe kubhoneha kukita bhakibhegha na hyononeko munu.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Peni aghanja, alongo na bhoha bhaanmanyite Yesu, papamu na bhala adala bhantughilite kuhuma ku Galilaya, bhakiyima kya kutali paakilolekea nnando aghwo.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Hinu, kukibha na mundu yumu ywa maha lihina lyake likibha Yosefu, ywakabheghite nkolannima ghwa Kualimataya akwo Yudea, kakibhegha mundu ywakaghatughila ghghapalite Chapanga na ywa kuhokamilwa.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51Alimatayu kakibhegha mukughulimbilila Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga. Mwene kakibhegha yumoo ywa bhandu bha munjengakaya ya Akaayahudi, peni mwene kakililunga nabho ng'ohe mutoso na ndendelo ya alongohi ayake, naywo kakibhegha mukughulindila Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga kwa upalo nkulu.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.

52Yosefu kakighenda kwa Pilato kuyupa kakakamuhwe mmili ghwa Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Kakighuhuluha kuhuma kulupingika, kakighubhulungilila sanda na kughubhika mulindogholo lihongolitwe mulitalabha, mualyo lindogholo kakibhikwa ng'obhe mundu ywohele.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.

54Linjubha alyo, likibhegha linjubha lya utendekeho, na Linjubha la Kupumulila, likibhegha ugheghela kuyanda.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Bhala adala bhaahikite papamu na Yesu kuhuma ku Galilaya, bhakintughila Yosefu, bhakilibhona lila lindogholo na bhuli bhuli Yosefu kakighughonjeha mmili ghwa Yesu.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Mbole bhakibhuya ukaya na bhakitendekeha luhumba lwa kunungila na mahuta ghaanungila gha kughutyeka mmili ghwake. Peni bhakipumulila Linjubha lya Kupumulila handa muyibheghite malaghilo gha Musa.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
