Luke 23 (XSN) · Opened

1Pate aromo kane gwarnang nane ere aane ale ka Yeso a begeshe be Ogomo Bilatus.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Nane bore o anza kai angmǝ na, “Te mana karomo kaana aka wilǝrǝzǝ aromo aro, aka beya ne na tana ne nya Ogomo ogong o Roma Kaisar emate makeke ne kanza aka beya okpwe kai na, kaya Ondooka Ashili a zake na ogomo.”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.”

3Na Ogomo Bilatus pirkǝ Yeso na, “Boa ogomo maYahuda na?” Na Yeso kabare na, “Ba bekaa kap.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Na Ogomo Bilatus wa bele ana magame ma Ashili ma moole ka leguki le aromo na, “Mi anta ma cǝ epa e buru eka eyang meke me aza karomo kaana ne.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Nane nyane epa eka wa bekaa ne lya izi ko beyana, “O baala kai wa ara anyong aromo a nyimi makeke maYahuda. Ka bore apeng Galili, naka deya ara kaana.”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.”

6Ka o kona nyimi, na Ogomo Bilatus pirkǝ na kai karomo ka makeke ma Galili kai na.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Nangka wa rose o bena Yeso ka suri a araaka Ogomo Hiridus waya togomo ne, na wa turki ne ara a Ogomo Hiridus me, a were name wai Ogomo Hiridus waya apeng Urushalima.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Nangka Ogomo Hiridus wa laka Yeso, na wa kone o leba a cak, o bena wa rabo ka o yeme o laka Yeso me, wa koneze oroka o bekaana, ka ezeze epa eka e kala begeshe ba aromo, na wa ya yeme o laka ebelo e.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.

9Na Ogomo Hiridus pirkǝ Yeso aza angmǝ cak, na Yeso kata kabare ka eyapa ne.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Ana magame ma Ashili ma moole ka ana o baala angmǝ aka Ashili a nya Mosa nane itǝ arame aane beya ngmǝ ka o caro anyong aza Yeso ka o beyana, ka eza mapa ma buru.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Na ana Ogomo Hiridus ka ana o tesa geza a moole a wai, ne zeele kai kanza ane beye kai angmǝ a buru. Nane amba kai o dibi o togomo ane kuriyǝ kai ara Ogomo Bilatus.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12A lengme lennamea Ogomo Bilatus ka Ogomo Hiridus ne itǝ ejaa, o bora neta ne ciisǝ a cammo a tokpwe tone ne.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Na Ogomo Bilatus rare andaano maYahuda, neya, ana magame ma Ashili ma moole, ka anate andaasau ka o dangare aromo a pate,Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14na wa bekaa ne na, “E deya ka karomo kaana aza o bena e beeze na ka wilǝrǝzǝ aromo kane nare o cikǝ o cammo. Ma pirǝ kai a begeshe be ying adorana ang cǝ o dera gaashe a kai, nanta ma cǝ epa e buru eka ma era ang meke aza kai ne.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.

15Ogomo Hiridus ma wata wa cǝ epa e buru aza kai ne, waya wa ote na wa turki kai ara ong, karomo kaana kata ka ya eyapa o bare ka wong kai ne.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Aza nyimi, eyang ote ka ola kai ang pere kai.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17A Ogomo Bilatus waye ka o pere oromo yende ka a pate, a were o gwarnang o rintǝ o dera o wonga ayana o bora maYahuda a Masar omea ne mena ka o bosaza me.Not in the BSB

18Na aromo me ka le ngmelo le yende, beke a jǝng na, “Ale na ka karomo kaana ka e wong kai, a pere ro Barabas.”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19A Barabas a pate wai ara ana o eza epa e buru aza o bekaana wa gereze bete a nyimi apengme, kanza azaa o wonga oromo.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Ogomo Bilatus waya yeme o perea Yeso, na wa kang bosa ne.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Nane lya izi ka o arsaza a ngmelo na, “A wong kai azaa uti o gendare. A wong kai azaa uti o gendare.”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Ka taaro naname ka Ogomo Bilatus beke angmǝ aane na, “Eya e? Karomo kaana kaya eya e buru? Me anta ma cǝ epa e buru ba kai ka e bare o wongnga kai ne. Eyang ote ka ole kai ang pere kai.”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.”

23Na aromo me ne ara lengmelo ajǝng o bena soona a wong kai aza uti o gendare.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Na Ogomo Bilatus kabare ka epa eka neya yeme me.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Nawa pere oromo oka a pate a nyimi akwilǝ ana o eza epa e buru, kawa gereze bete a nyimi apeng a wa kang wongnga ondo, waiya ne bose na a pere wai, a wa nya Yeso nangka neya yeme me kane wong kai.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Nangka ana o tesa geza a moole neya ale ka Yeso, nane gwarnang ka Siman oromo o Siyarin a waya lyǝ apeng, nane meke wai ane ana wai uti o gendara aromo, a wa tare Yeso a dimǝ.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.

27A aromo a cake tare kai, ka andaye yende kane kone egonegone ane kang ruuzi aza o ziyǝ ka Yeso ka ya kona me.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Na Yeso ringgarnu naka bekaa ne na, “Andaye o Urushalima, tana e ruuzi aza ong ne, ruuzi na aza tokpwe to ying ka ayana aying.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29A were aya deya amea eyo bekaana, ‘Ondo kona o leba andaye amea neta ne tukǝ ngmenga ne, a bangi amea a ta ngmengzaza ne kanza a maane mame a ta a tukǝ o asaka mai ne.’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30A were name “ ‘Neyo beka a mayara na, “Oko na aza aro.” A ma'owa na, “Pate ro.” ’ ”At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Aka beke angmǝ a gerpo na, “Aromo ne eza mapa maana a were aka uti tata o nyaza, wayo itǝ nannia uti me wa waka?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Aromo leere, ana o eza epa e buru a ale ka ne legwa ka Yeso adorana a wong ne.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Nangka ne dukǝ araaka beya ai na, “Ara macako ma okpwe” arakaname a gendare Yeso uti ne. Ka ana o eza epa e buru name, ondo o ara ore, a ondo o ara o guri.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.

34Na Yeso bekaana, “Ate, kwizǝ epa e buru ana o nyana ong, o bena neta rosa na mana mi ne.” Ane eke madibi ma kai a tera one nane laka mana waya jeka.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Aromo ne itǝ ane gonte, anda gong ane nane zeele kai, ane beya na, “Ka boza na ondo, aka boze okpwe kai ka ya kaaya ondo boza oka Ashili a zake.”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.”

36Ana o tesa a geza a moole ne de nane zeele kai. Ane niyi kai manyi ma marara ma yana inabi,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37ane beya kai na, “Boa baya ogomo maYahuda, boza okpwe o.”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Aza ka okpwe kai a wele na, “KANDO KAANA KAYA OGOMO MAYAHUDA.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Ondo a nyimi ana o eza epa e buru me ka a gendare ne ka Yeso na wa zeele kai, a wa bekaana, “Boa baya Ondooka Ashili a zake, boza okpwe o ka ro.”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40A ondo eza epa e buru o leere me wa zurki a wai na, “O kone boome ba Ashili sang, bo ka a gendare uti ona ka kai?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Ro teya eesa o poba oka wa gwara ka ro, kai ka ta ka ya epa e buru ne.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42A wa bekaana, “Yeso rintǝng a were aka ba lyǝ a nyimi togomo to.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Na Yeso kabare wai na, “Eyang bele o maganggang, o ngmeengme na oyo cikǝ ka mi ara a lebo ang aza shili.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44A tera letereme na ye maring a kuruwǝ a makeke mame, nama dukǝ o gendarono ongme,It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45na ongme wata nya masanto ne. Na epa o wobe ara o kala be sangsang akwilǝ Ashili wa daro a tera.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Na Yeso ka ara lengmelo a jǝng naka bekaana, “Ate, ma nyau ebeene eng a nyimi taara to.” Ka o bekaa nyimi, aka windi ebeene kai o mare a ka gbwi.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.

47Nangka ondo tesa a geza a moole o gong a Roma wa laka epa eka ka ya, na wa saba Ashili a wa bekaana, “Dongdong karomo kaana kando ka o dera madinǝ kai.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Na aromo aka neya gonta epa eka aya eza me arame, nane kuri akwilǝ ka o ola begeshe be ne a nyimi o kona o buru.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Pate aromo aka ne rose Yeso ka andaye amea ne tare kai a sura a makeke ma Galili, nane itǝ a macangcang ane gonte epa eka eya ale.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Ondo wa zene ka a beya wai na Yusupu, ka waye a nyimi andaano maYahuda, oromo me waye ka edang, a wa kone boome ba Ashili,Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51wata wa kabare ka epa eka andaano maYahuda ne eze ne. Wa de a wa suri a makeke ma Yahudiya apeng a Arimatiya a waya za o enda togomo to Ashili.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.

52Nawa ale ba Ogomo Bilatus na wa bose wai na wa nya wai lepung le Yeso.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Nawa jipǝrǝ lepung le kai, a wa pate le ka betu a wa ote le ocau oka a coo o cale omea a ta a tukǝ o eza matasokong a wai ne.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.

54Lengme leme lo babarono adorana a lyǝ a lengme lo teeseke ka o bosa Ashili maYahuda.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Andaye amea ne tare Yeso a surǝ a makeke ma Galili, nane ale ka Yusupu adorana ne laka araaka o cau me wa zene ka nangka a eke lepung le Yeso leme.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Nane suri akwilǝ, ane babare manao ma o waze o lebo. A lengme lo teseke nane teseke, nane teseke nangka angmǝ aka Ashili a nya Mosa a bekaana a eze.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
