Luke 23 (STW) · Opened

1Rhooa towunap we ra maegin iutae ra paeninoa Jesus weni mmwaen Pilate,Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2iwe a rhaepetae aar oaturu Jesus me ee: “Aemaem aeiweri mwaaen een pwe e oatupwuur aeremas, egaen iura pwe resoapw fang tax ngaeni Soamwoonin Rome, nge epwan iura pwe iiy miniwe Kristus, iwe erhai king.”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.”

3Pilate a aeiineow pwe, “Een minne aar king re Jews?” Jesus a paniuwaeni, “Een minimwu wo aepesa.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Pilate a aengaeniir soamwoonin patere kkewe me aeremas kkewe pwe, “Esooar meeta minne i giuneei pwe teren mwaaen een.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Nge ra egius mwo nge re aengimaaw tae, “Reen aan fenai minne a rhaepiy tae fiiow nepeteer aeremas me wooan oanongaen Judea. Erhaepetae me Galilee iwe nge igina a toorito igeei.”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.”

6Igiwe Pilate a rongorong minneei, nge a aeiyeg pwe, “re Galilee mwaaen een?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Igiwe a pwae ngaeni pwe Jesus e itto me pwiuneoi we Erotes e nemaeni, iwe a fangenoa Jesus reen Erotes, iwe iiy epwan no Jerusalem reen oatowe.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Erotes a igin kker igiwe a weri Jesus, pwe igiwe a fasiun rongorong kkepesaen Jesus nge e tipaeni pwe epwe weri rhag me mweoiuwe. E tipaeni pwe epwe weri aaen Jesus feeori aekkaew kkeman.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.

9Iwe Erotes a aeiyegiy Jesus aekkaew kkepas aeiyeg, nge Jesus ese paniuwaeni.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Soamwoonin patere kkewe me sinsein anniug kkewe ra toonong nge ra aetemaeginiy pwe repwe oamonofitiy Jesus.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Erotes me sonotaw kkewe naiun ra aeni aegekkaei Jesus iwe nge refeeori ngaeni aekkaew min aenneew; iwe ra iseni tae eew mengaag nning wooan iwe nge ra fang sefaaen noa reen Pilate.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Noan raaenin we rhag nge Erotes me Pilate ra maereyaer noa; nge igiwe mmwan nge re aenneew fengaen.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Pilate a faingi fengaenniir soamwoonin patere, me mwaaen kkewe me rhooa towunap we,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14nge a aengaeniir pwe, “Oaw pwigito mwaaen een reei nge oaw iura pwe e oatupwuur aeremas. Igina iya pipiiy gacchiuw me igeei nge esooar minne iweri pwe oawpwe oamonofitiy wooan.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.

15Erotes mwo nge esooar minne e oamonofitiy ngaeni, iwe a aesefaaenito reerh. Esooar meeta ne mwaaen een efeeori nge epwe mae reen.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Iwe ipwene aengaeniir pwe repwene wirhiy nge ra saeneti noa.” [Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Noan oanongaen gupwunon Passover nge Pilate egaen saeneti noa erhai rhooan kanepwus ngaeniir aeremas.]Not in the BSB

18Rhooanap we ra aekkepwas rhag pwe, “Niiy noa! Saeneti ngaenigemaem Barabbas!” (But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Barabbas e kanepwus reen aan aeffiiowuur aeremas noan aepinoamw we me aan nni menaw aeremas.)(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilate e mwerhaen epwe saeneti noa Jesus iwe a pwan tingoar sefaaen ngaeniir pwuwa we.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Nge iir ra faer aekkepwas sefaaen pwe, “Kurusuw noa! Kurusuw noa!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Aeinuwaen aaen Pilate kkepas ngaeniir a iura pwe, “Meeta monofit na efeeori? Ngaang esooar minne iweri pwe efeeori ne sipwe niiy noa reen! Ipwene aengaeniir pwe repwe wirhiy nge ra saeneti noa.”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.”

23Nge iir egius mwo nge re aekkepwas temoag tae pwe repwe kurusuw noa Jesus, enoa oarosan noa nge ina miniwe ra feeori.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Iwe Pilate a feeori ngaeni Jesus meeta we aar aeremas tingoar.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Pilate a saeneti noa mwaaen we re tipaeni, iwe re kanepwusa pwe e aeffiiow aeremas me nni menaw aeremas, nge Jesus a iseni ngaeniir pwe repwe feeori ngaeni minna re tipaeni.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Sonotaw kkewe ra paeninoa Jesus, igiwe ra feffaaeraeg noa, ra rhuungi erhai re Cyrene itan Simon iwe e itto saengi eew soapw. Ra torofi iwe ra ngaettae kurus we wooan, nge ra feeori pwe epwe aiufera kurus we me mwirin Jesus.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.

27Eew pwuwaen aeremas towunap ra tettapwei noa mwirin; aekkaerhai rhooapwut reno neeiir ra saengiti.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Jesus a wegitaeg ngaeniir nge a aengaeniir pwe, “Rhooapwuton Jerusalem! Oawsoapw saengitiaei, pwe oawfaer saengiti gaemi me aetekkomwu naimi.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29A ikkitto raaennekena aeremas repwene iura pwe, ‘Ra wenepwu rhooapwut kkena esooar naiiur, esaaen yor mwo aar nainai, nge esaaen yor mwo aar atiut!’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Ina oatona aeremas repwene aengaeni rhug pwe, ‘Piungtiw woamaem!’ nge re aengaeni taeiit pwe, ‘Oapaegemaem!’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Pwe ngaere minikkeei a wenewen iga e rhiuwen arawaraw waniwan, nge epwe ifa wusun igine a ppwass?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Riiurhai mwaaen, rhooan kanepwus, ra pwan paeniir wow repwe noa niir noa me reen Jesus.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Renoa itto reen pwiuneoi we regaen iura pwe “Peopeoi Rhimw”, ra itto kurusuw noa Jesus me ee, fengaen me rhooan kanepwus kkewe riiurhai, erhai me peig mwaaenin nge erhai me peig rhooapwuton.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.

34Jesus a iura pwe, “Semaei, oamwusaar noa! Rese metaf reen minikka refeeori.” Re aekkaerh dice pwe repwe inetiy minikkewe mengaagiun wooar.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Aeremas ra iun oawruru soamwooniir Jews kkewe ra gaen aeni fetaeneei aegekkaei: “A aemenewaar aaemweoi; iwe nigiti ngaeni epwe aemenewa oanongan ngaere ennetaen pwe iiy Kristus we Deus e fini!”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.”

36Sonotaw kkewe ra pwan aeni fetaeneei aegekkaei: ra itto reen ra ngaenneei wine kkewe emwaenn,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37nge ra iura pwe, “Aemenewa oanongoamw ngaere ennetaen pwe een soamwooniir Jews!”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Wooan tae rhimwen nge effoat pwe: “Ieen minne Kingaen Jews.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Erhai me neeiir rhooan kanepwus kkewe e kurus a gaen aessaewa pwe: “Saapw een miniwe Kristus? Aemenewoag nge wa pwan aemenewaegemaem!”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Nge mwaaen we erhai a soong ngaeni a iura pwe, “Wose mesagiu Deus? Oamw mae epwan aeffitaeg ngaeni rhag aan.But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Iwe nge giirh ina efin pwe sipwe kurus pwe paniuwaen aenneew kena giirh sifeeori; nge iiy esooar min aenneew ne efeeori.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Iwe nge a aengaeni Jesus pwe, “Maengiaei, Jesus, igine wopwene noa itto noan nemenem na oamw!”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Jesus a aengaeni pwe, “Iya ppwoneei ngaeniug raaeneei pwe een wopwe no reei noan Paradise.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Saengi nugunupaen oanowas nge aenet esa ttin no nge a rorhappiung noa faniuw we enoa gona enuuw konook; iwe nge mengaag we e tteoraeg noan Temple we mwo nge a taeringatiw faaen ruwowu.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

46Jesus a aekkepwas noa nge a iura pwe, “Semaei! Iya iseni nong minne ngeoniuy noan poawumw!” E iura rhag minneei nge a nurh noa aan ngasangas.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.

47Soamwoonin sonotaw we eweri miniwe a wen, iwe a aepingepinga Deus, nge iwe a iura pwe, “Ennet pwe erhai aeremas mwamwaai mwaaen we!”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Igiwe aeremas kkewe re maegeto pwe rhooan oawruru miniwe a wen, igiwe ra weri, ra sefaaen noa nee iimw, nge ra tugutuguw aiungeer reen aenneewaen tipeer.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Oanongeer rhooa kkewe re giuneei Jesus, fengaen me rhooapwut kkewe re tapweeito me Galilee, renoa iun oawruruto me itaaw.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Eno erhai mwaaen itan Joseph iwe re Arimathea, eew aepinoamw me noan Judea. Iiy erhai mwaaen mwamwaai nge essoar, e wewweti rhag itton minna Mweoiun Deus.

52A noa reen Pilate nge a noa tingoar miniwe oanongaen Jesus.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53A noa pwinititiw miniwe oanongaen nge a tiugiumi noa noan mengaag pwerh we, nge a oawnanong noan paeyi we iwe ekken wow neeiin faai, iwe esaaen yor mwo manimae ne etonong noan.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.

54Wooan Aenimowu miniwe, a gin egius rhag nge epwene itto Sabbath.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.
