Luke 23 (YMP) · Opened

1Me ŋa takatu iviyô me iwa Yisu be ê vo Pailat.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Yôv me îmbî ambô hethak yêni nena, “Yoô tung ôpiti henang ethak yoô ning avîlanô vo ende dômîm lîlîng êndêng gakmang. Yêni hêndô yoôŋgêv takis êndêng Sisa lêk henang nena yêni me Mesaya, king te.”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.”

3Me Pailat henang ik Yisu ling nena, “Ong me ŋa Juda ning king mesa?” Me Yisu henang nena, “Hîtôm ditu ong da honang.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Yôv me Pailat henang ethak ŋa bêŋbêng îmbôk da lêk avîlanô nômbêng atu nena, “Mî ya hatung yêni ya kambom te amî.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Metom enang lêklokwang nena, “Yêni hîndông avîlanô be helela ining auk heveng Judia sapêng. Muŋdaluk hêk Galili me hêlêm hele be hêyô long 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.”

6Pailat helaŋô ambô êng me henang ik loho ling nena, “Ôpêng me anô Galili te e?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Pailat helaŋô nena Yisu hêlêm nang Galili, êng me hêv yêni be hê vo Helot vômbê nena yêni heyaŋging long êng. Wak êng me Helot hîmô Jelusalem hiving.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Me Helot hêyê Yisu be la mavî anông vômbê nena bôk helaŋô kôkôthing hethak Yisu be la hiving ninjê yêni, metom mî hele be lêk hêyê yêni be ditu la hiving nembong nôm thamtham te vo ninjê.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.

9Be ditu Helot henang ik Yisu ling bêng anông metom yêni bonong yom.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Me ŋa bêŋbêng îmbôk da lêk kîdôŋga ambô balambung takatu be eva long êng enang ambô lêklokwang be îmbî yêni hethak ambô lomaloma.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Êng me Helot lêk ya ŋa vovak iwa kwêv dêim te hîtôm king ining kwêv be ik hîlôk Yisu me enang ambôma be emalîk ethak yêni. Yôvêm me Helot hêv yêni be hê vo Pailat hethak loŋbô.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Sêmbôk me Helot lo Pailat êyê i hîtôm ŋakyo, metom lêk me thêi ivutak ŋa môlôô.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Yôv me Pailat helam ŋa bêŋbêng îmbôk da lêk ŋa Juda ning avaka lêk avîlanô doho be êlêm ethak tom.Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Me henang nena, “Môlô wa anô ti hêlêm hêndêng ya me môlô nang nena anô ti henang ambô yôhîng be hêvôv avîlanô vo êndô gakmang. Be lêk ya hanang ik yêni ling heva môlô malemim hethak nôm takêng, metom mî ya hatung ôpiti ya kambom takatu be môlô nang yêni bêng ethak amî.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.

15Me Helot ya auk me bêng yom, be ditu hêv ôpiti hêlêm vo aô hethak loŋbô. Ondaŋô. Ôpiti mî hevong kambom te be tem ya nang vo iŋgik yêni vônô amî.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Be ditu tem yambali yêni yôvêm me ya tak inda bini.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

18Metom avîlanô sapêng elam lêklala nena, “Uŋgik ôpitu vônô me otak Balabas be nêlêm êndêng yoô.”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19(Balabas me ôpatu be hik vovak hiving Lom ining gakmang hîmô Jelusalem kapô be hik anô vônô, be ditu etak yêni hîlôk kalaondong.)(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Yôv me Pailat hevong vo netak Yisu bini, be ditu helam hêndêng avîlanô hethak loŋbô.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Metom loho lam lômbôlông nena, “Uŋgik vônô ethak alovalasing! Uŋgik vônô ethak alovalasing!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Yôv me Pailat henang bôlô ali lô hêndêng loho nena, “Hethak ômbê? Yêni hevong ômbê kambom? Ondong te mî hîmô vo yaŋgik yêni vônô amî. Be ditu tem yambali inda me ya tak yêni bini.”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.”

23Metom loho lêklokwang kambom be elam kaêk lêkwaê nena iŋgik Yisu ethak alovalasing. Loho ning kaêk êng me hîvô hethak be Pailat helaŋô.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Be ditu Pailat la hêv nena yêni sopa loho ning ambôSo Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25be hetak ôpatu be hîmô kalaondong hê êndêng loho hîtôm enang ik ling, me hêv Yisu hîlôk ŋa vovak baheŋing hîtôm avîlanô ning leŋing iving.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Loho iwa Yisu be ê me êpôm Saimon nang Sailini hîlôk loŋdaŋlê be hê vini Jelusalem. Me ŋa vovak evalong yêni be êv Yisu ya alovalasing be hiwa be heveng Yisu yam.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.

27Me avîlanô bêng anông esopa yêni lêk avî takatu be eleng athêng malêng ethak yêni me loho sapêng iving be ê.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Metom Yisu hik i lîlîng me henang ethak loho nena, “Môlô avî Jelusalem, dô ondeng ethak ya andô. Me ondeng vo amda lêk nalumi.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Ondaŋô. Wakma te tem nêyô be malêing bêng tem nêpôm avîlanô be tem enang nena, ‘Mavî vo avî yamu takatu be sêik mî be mî êv sum êndêng sêik amî.’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Wak êng me avîlanô tem enang êndêng dumlôlê sapêng nena, ‘Ôŋgêv yak êyônjêk yoô be uthivung yoô thing.’ ”At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31“Lêk evong kambom hêndêng alokwang lêkmala, be ditu tem embong ômbête êndêng alokwang kapôk?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Me loho iwa anô vanî yi hiving vo iŋgik vônô imbing Yisu.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Loho ê êyô long atu be elam nena Kwandôk Lokwang. Me loho êthôkêng Yisu lêk anô vanî yi atu hethak alovalasing. Êthôkêng yang heva Yisu bang viyôhôk me yang heva bang vikeng.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.

34Me Yisu henang nena, “Wakamik, nôŋgêv loho ning kambom vê vômbê nena loho thông paling be evong.” Yôvêm me ŋa vovak îmbî valu vo injê nena opalête tem nimbua ya thôp.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Avîlanô eva be êyê me ŋa bêŋbêng îmbî yêni lîlîng be enang ambôma nena, “Bôk yêni hêv avîlanô vi livung yôv be nêŋgêv yêni da livung imbing, vômbê nena yêni me Mesaya, ôpatu be Wapômbêng bôk hîtôk yôv.”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.”

36Me ŋa vovak êyô hiving be enang ambôma me êv waing maning hêndêng yêni.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Me enang nena, “Ong ŋa Juda ning king e? Yôv be nôŋgêv ong da livung.”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Me ekavu ambô te heva Yisu viling bêŋiti, ÔPITI ME ŊA JUDA NING KING.Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Anô vanî yi atu be êthôkêng hiving Yisu yang henang ambôma hêndêng yêni nena, “Ong Mesaya e? Yôv be nôŋgêv ong da livung me yêi imbing.”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Metom yang helaŋô ambô êng me hethang yang êng be henang nena, “Tem noma bêng yom me hevong bisê be mî hôkô Wapômbêng amî?But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Ai vong kombom kambom bêng anông be ditu thêthôp vo êv vovang hêndêng ai, metom ôpiti me mî hevong kambom te amî.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Yôv me henang nena, “Yisu, wakma huvutak hîtôm king hîmô yong lêkliŋyak bêng kapô me lem êŋgêv ya.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Me Yisu henang nena, “Ya hanang avanông bing ethak ong nena, yaô tiêng yom me tem nômô imbing ya îmô long lêkmaŋging kapô.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Bidong oyang waklîvông bing me momaŋaning bêng hêyô pîk sapêng vôv be hêk hele be hêyô wakma lô. Me kwak bêng atu be êthôkêng heva melak matheng kapô hipupkê hê luvi.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

46Me Yisu helam kaêk lêklokwang nena, “Wakamik, ya hatak ya dôhôlông hîlôk bahem.” Henang bêng yôv me auk hivutak be hê me hema.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.

47Me vovak lêik ining anômbêng hêyê nôm êng me yêni hêv Wapômbêng ya athêng ling be henang nena, “Avanông bing, ôpiti me kambom mî.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Me avîlanô takatu be ethak tom be eva vo injê, loho yê nôm êng be kapôlôŋing malêing bêng be ê.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Metom Yisu ya ŋa môlôô lêk avî takatu be esopa yêni hêk Galili be êlêm, loho va dêim doke me êyê nôm takatu be hivutak.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Me anô Alimatia te nang Judia hîmô be ya athêng nena Josep. Yêni heyambing waklavông atu be Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng te nêlêm pîk.

52Be ditu hê hêndêng Pailat me henang ik ling vo nimbua Yisu ya kôpik.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Êng me hiwa Yisu liŋkôpik hîlôk hivup me hivuliv thing hethak kwak me hiwa be hê hêndô hêk kalang lêkmuk atu be ekolop valu be ambuang vo etak ŋa ema injêk.

54Sabat lêk bidong oyang be avîlanô epesang i vo injê waklavông êng.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Be ditu avî takatu be esopa Yisu hêk Galili be êlêm me esopa Josep be ê êyê kalang atu be êndô Yisu liŋkôpik hêk vo injê nena etak inda hêk bisê.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
