Luke 23 (REG) · Opened

1Elikofyanya lyona nilimelegulu, nibhamusila imbele ya Pilato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Nibhamba okumukumila, nibhaikati, “Chamusanga omunu unu nayabhya liyanga lyeswe, naganya chisige okusosha likoti ku Kaisali, naikati, omwene niwe Kristo, Omukama.”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 namubhusha, naikati,”Angu Nawe Omukama wa Bhayaudi?”Na Yesu nasubhya naikati,”Awe Nawe owaika kutyo”.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Pilato namubhwila omugabhisi mukulu nebhise bhya bhanu ati,”Nitakulola chikayo kumunu unu”.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Nawe abhene nibhesigombela, nibhaikati, “Kayoganya abhanu, neigisha mubhuyudi Yona, okwambila Galilaya na Woli alyanu.”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 ejile ongwa ago, nabhusilisha labha omunu oyo ni wa Galilaya?When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Ejile amenya kutyo aliga ali mubhukama bhwa Helode, namusila Yesu ku Helode, okubha omwene aliga ali Yelusalemu munsiku ejo.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Helode ejile amulola Yesu, akondelewe muno kulwokubha endaga okumulola nsiku nyamfu. Ongwaga jinkuma jae endaga okulola echilugusho nolo chimwi nchikolwa nage.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 namubhusha Yesu magambo mamfu, nawe Yesu atamubhusishe chinu chona chona.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Abhagabhisi bhakulu amwi na bhandiki nibhemelegulu kwo bhujaja nibhamusitakaMeanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Helode amwi na bhasilikale bhae, bhamufumile no kumujimya, nibhamugwata echifwalo bhya kisi, nibhamala nibhamusila a Yesu ku Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Helode na Pilato nibhabha bhasani kwambila olwo (kulwokubha bhaliga bhasokene).That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Pilato nabhabhilikila abhagabhisi abhakulu na bhatungi ne bhise bhya bhanu,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Nabhabhwila ati,”Mwandetela omunu unu kabhatangasha abhanu bhakole ebhijabhi, Lola, najomubhusha imbele yemwe, ntalola chikayo ingulu yo munu unu ingulu ya jinu omumusitakila.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.

15Uli, nolo Helode, kulwokubha amusubhya kwiswe, Lola gutalio musango gunu akolele gunu gwiile okwitwa.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Kulwejo enimubhuma nimala nimutatilila.Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17(Woli, kwiile Pilato okumutatilila omubhohywa umwi kumwanya gwa lusiku lukulu olwabhayaudi).Not in the BSB

18Nawe bhona nibhasekana, nibhaikati,”Musosheo oyo, nuchigulile Balaba!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Balaba aliga ali munu unu abhoelwe kwo kukaya mumusi no kwita.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilato Nabhabhwila lindi, nenda okumutatilila Yesu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Nawe abhene nibhayogana nibhaikati, “Mumubhambe, mumubhambe.”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Nabhabhusha ku lwakasatu,”omunu unu akolele chikayoki? Ntabhona chikayo chinu chiile okufwa kwaye. Kulwejo nikamala okumubhuma enimutatila.”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.”

23Nawe abhene nibhakomela kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu, nibhenda abhambhwe. Nobhulaka bhwebhwe nibhukola Pilato nekilisha.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Kulwejo Pilato nabhakolela kutyo bhendaga.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Namutatila unu bhendaga unu abhoelwe kwo kusamba no kwita. Nawe namusosha Yesu kwe lyenda lyebhwe.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Bhejile bhakamusila, nibhamugwata munu umwi unu atogwaga Simoni wa Ukilene, nasoka muchalo, nibhamusila omusalabha abhatule, namulubhaga 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.

27Ebhise bhya bhanu bhamfu, na bhagasi bhanu bhajubhaga nokulila ingulu yae, bhaliga nibhamulubha.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Nawe nabhekebhukila, Yesu Nabhabhwila ati,”Bhaalakaji bha Yelusalemu, musige kundilila anye, mwililile emwe abhene na ingulu ya bhana bhemwe.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Lola, jinsiku ejija bhalyaikati,”Bhana libhando bhanu bhatebhuye na mabhele ganu gatanenishe.Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Niwo bhalyamba okubhwila ebhima,'Chigwile, ne bhisaka,'Muchifundikile.At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Kulwokubha bhakakola emisango ejo kwiti libhisi, ejibhakutiki kwiti elyumu?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Abhalume abhandi, bhakayi bhabhili, bhasililwe amwi nage koleleki bhetwe.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Bhejile bhakinga Anu katogwa Fuvu la kichwa, niwo nibhamubhuma amwi na bhakayi, oumwi mukubhoko kwe bhulyo no oundi mukubhoko kwe bhumosi.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 naikati,”Rata, ubhasasile, kulwokubha bhatakumenya chinu abhakola.”Nibhagabhana emyenda jae kwa jikula.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu nibhalola abhatangasha nibhamujimya, nibhaikati,”Abhakisishe abhandi. Woli ikisha omwene, labha uli Kristo wa Nyamuanga, omwaulwa.”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.”

36Abhasilikale bhona bhamugaile, bhamufogelee omwene nibhamuyana isiki,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37nibhaikati,”Labha awe uli Mukama wa Bhayaudi ikisha awe omwene”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Yaliga chilio echibhalikisho ingulu yae inu yaliga yandikilwe “UNU NIWE OMUKAMA WA BHAYAUDI.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Oumwi was bhakayi unu abhambilwe amufumile naikati, “Awe utali Kiristo? ikisha awe neswe”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Nawe oundi uliya nasubhya, namugonya naikati, “Awe utamubhaya Nyamuanga, awona uli mundamu eyoeyo?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Eswe chilio anu kwe chimali, kulwokubha eswe echibhona chinu chiile kulwebhikolwa bhyeswe. Nawe omunu unu atakolele chibhibhi.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Ongesishe, “Yesu, unyichuke anu ulengila mubhukama bhwao.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yes namubhwila ati, “Ikilisha enikubhwila ati, lelo linu oubha nanye Mupaladiso.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Awo jaliga nijifogela saa sita mumwisi, echisute nichijula ingulu ye chalo okukinga saa tisa,It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45Obhwelu bhwa lisubha bhasimile. Ndiya lipaziya lya muyekalu niligabhanyika katikati okwambila ingulu.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Nalila kwo bhulaka bhunene, Yesu naikati, “Rata mumabhoko gao natamo omwoyo gwani,”ejile amala okwaikago, nafwa.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.

47Awo omukulu wabhasilikale ejile alola ganu gakolekene namukuya Nyamuanga naikati, “Chimali unu sanga ali munu mulengelesi.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Anu ebhise bhya bhanu bhejile amwi okulola bhejile okulola jinu gakolekene, bhasubhileyo nibhebhuma kubhifubha bhyebhwe.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Nawe abhasani bhae, na bhagasi bhanu bhamulubhile okusoka Galilaya, bhemeleguyu kula nibhalolaga emisango ejo.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Lola, aligalio omunu unu atogwaga Yusufu, unu aliga umwi wa libhalaja, munu wakisi na mulengelesi,Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51(aliga atekilishanyishe bhulamusi bhwebhwe ne bhikolwa bhyebhwe), okusoka Alimathaya, omusi gwe Chiyaudi, unu aliga nalindilila obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.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.

52Omunu unu, amufogelee Pilato, namusabhwa amuyane omubhili gwa Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Amutelemusishe, na guta mwisanda, naguta mumfwa inu yaliga isimbilwe kwibhui, munu aliga achali kusikwamo munu.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.

54Lwaliga luli lusiku lwo kwilabha, na Isabhato niilila.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Abhagasi, bhanu ejile nabho Yesu okusoka Galilaya, nibhamala nibhaja, nibhalola imfwa na kutyo mubhili gwae gwamamibhwe.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Nibhasubha nibhamba okwilabha ebhinu ebhilange na mafuta amalange. Mbeya olusiku lwa isabhato nibhaumula okulubhana nebhilagilo.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
