Luke 23 (ZAJP) · Opened

1Dale jose dinuka, wamsola Yesu wamgala ha Pilato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Wasonga kumtagusa wolonga, “Tum'vika munhu ino yowagiza wanhu zetu, yowagomesa sambiwamulihe kodi Kaisali, na mwenyego koikema kamba heyo iyo Kilisto, Mndewa.”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 kamuuza, “Gweye iyo mndewa wa Wayahudi?” Yesu kamwidika, “Gweye iyo ulonga avo.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Abaho, Pilato kawalongela wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na dija didale da wanhu, “Siyona mbuli ya kumtagusila munhu ino.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Ila hewo wananahila ng'hani wolonga, “Mafundo gake genula mzahimzahi mwa wanhu wose wa Yudea, kasonga Galilaya na sambi kahano.”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 viyahulike gano, kawauza, “Munhu ino kolawa Galilaya?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Viyavitangile goya kamba Yesu kokala yolawa isi yootawala Helode Antipa, kamgala ha Helode, yakalile Yelusalemu kipigiti kija.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Helode kadeng'helela ng'hani viyamuwene Yesu, kwavija kakala yohulika mbuli zake, avo kipigiti kitali kakala yolonda kumona. Kakala yotamanila kumona Yesu viyotenda mzonza.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.

9Avo Helode kamuuza Yesu mbuli bwando, ila Yesu kamnyamalila.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa wakwenhuka, wamtagusa Yesu na lusango.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Helode na asikali zake wamtendela mzihaka Yesu na kumgela kinyala, abaho, wam'vaza guo da undewa, ikwisha wam'bweza kabili ha Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Pilato na Helode wakala waihile, ila songela zua dija wakala wambwiga.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Pilato kawakema hamoja wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko, wakulu wa isi, na wanhu.Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Kawalongela, “Mumgala munhu ino kumwangu mulonga kowagiza wanhu. Avo nimpelemba hano hameso genu, sonile mbuli yoyose ihile imumtagusila.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.

15Helode na heyo honile mbuli ihile, kileka mana yam'bwezile kumwetu. Haduhu kinhu chochose kihile chayatendile munhu ino kilumbile munhu ino kudanganhika.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Avo nolagiza yalanhigwe, abaho, nomuleka yagende na zake.”Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Kila kipigiti cha Lusona lwa Pasaka Pilato kawafungulilaga mfungigwa imwe.Not in the BSB

18Dale jose diguta nyangi walonga, “Mkome hiyo! Tufungulile Balaba!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Balaba kakala yafungigwe sama ya mzahimzahi wa kuilema silikali ulawilile mdiwambo na kukoma.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pilato kalonda kumfungula Yesu, avo kalawilila kabili haulongozi wa ididale da wanhu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Ila wagendelela kutoa nyangi, wolonga, “Yawambigwe mumsalaba, yawambigwe mumsalaba!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Pilato kawalongela mwanza wa ikadatu, yolonga, “Mbuli ilihi ihile yaatendile? Nie siyona mbuli yoyose ihile yaatendile ilumbile heyo kudanganhika! Kolanhigwa, abaho, kolekesigwa.”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.”

23Ila wagendelela kutoa nyangi ng'hani wolonga Yesu kolondigwa yawambigwe mumsalaba. Hakimambukizo, nyangi zao zihuma.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Avo Pilato kawatogolela waja iwanhu vija vowokala womulonda Yesu.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Avo kawafungulila Balaba iwamulondile, munhu yakalile mkifungo sama ya kugala mzahimzahi wa kuilema silikali na kukoma, na kumgela Yesu mmakono ga asikali, wamtende kamba vowolonda Wayahudi.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Viwakalile womgala, wamgoga munhu imwe yokemigwa Simoni, munhu wa isi ya Kilene, yakalile yokwingila mdiwambo yolawa kumgunda. Wamdikwa msalaba, kaupapa hachugu cha 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.

27Dale kulu da wanhu dimkweleleza, mmwanza wao kukala na watwanzi wokala womulilila na kumuyalalila.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yesu kawahindukila kawalongela, “Mweye watwanzi wa Yelusalemu! Sambimunililile nie, ila ililileni wenyego na wanenu,But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29kwavija mazua gokwiza wanhu wokwiza kulonga, ‘Wana mhome watwanzi walibule wana, na waja hawalelile na waja hawakong'heze.’Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Kipigiti hicho wanhu wosonga kuilongela migongo, ‘Tulagalile!’ Na vigongo, ‘Tufise!’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Kwavija kamba vinhu kamba vino votendeka mum'biki mbisi, vowaze mum'biki unyalile?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Wanhu wayagwe wabili, wakalile watendaga gehile, vivija na hewo walongozwa wachola kukomigwa hamoja na Yesu.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Viwavikile hanhu hokemigwa, “Fulu da Pala,” wamuwamba Yesu mumsalaba hamoja na watenda gehile wabili, imwe kumkono wake wa ukulume na iyagwe kumkono wake wa ukumoso.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 kalonga, “Tata, wagele kumgongo kwavija hawagatangile gaja gowotenda.” Waigolela vivalo vake mkutoa kula.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Wanhu wema haja wolola kipigiti wakulu wa Wayahudi viwakalile womtendela uponela, wolonga, “Kawakombola wayagwe, na yaikombole mwenyego kamba heyo iyo Kilisto yasaguligwe na Mulungu.”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.”

36Asikali vivija wamtendela uponela, wamkwenhukila wamgwelela divai ya ugwadu,The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37wolonga, “Kamba gweye iyo Mndewa wa Wayahudi, ikombole mwenyego!”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Hachana ya umsalaba wake wandika vino, “ino iyo mndewa wa wayahudi.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Mtenda gehile imwe yatungikigwe haja kamuliga Yesu yolonga, “Kamba gweye iyo Kilisto, ikombole mwenyego, abaho, utukombole na tweye.”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Ila ija mtenda gehile iyagwe kamkomhokela miyage yolonga, “Gweye humdumba Mulungu? Gweye kwa mumgayo kamba heyo.But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Kumwetu tweye vilumba kwavija tugweleligwa gaja galumbile na gaja gatutendile, ila ino hatendile mbuli yoyose ihile.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Abaho, kamulongela Yesu, “Yesu, ung'humbuke vondawize Muundewa wako.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yesu kamulongela, “Nokulongela ikweli, lelo kowa hamoja na nie Paladiso.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Viivikile kamba saa sita, ziza diigubika isi yose mbaka saa tisaIt was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45kwavija zua diziziwala, na idiguo ditungikwe Muing'anda ya Mulungu didegeka vidanga vibili.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Yesu kenula dizwi, kalila yolonga, “Tata, mmakono gako noika loho yangu!” Viyeshile kulonga vino, kadanganhika.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.

47Ija imkulu wa iwaasikali mia wa Loma kagona gaja galawilile, kamuyenzi Mulungu yolonga, “Kweli, munhu ino kakala mwende!”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Wanhu wakalile waiting'hane haja kulola mbuli ija wagona gaja galawilile, wose wabwela ukae yao wokiitoatoa zimhambaga wokiiyalala ng'hani.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Wose wakalile wambwiga zake Yesu, hamoja na watwanzi wakalile womkweleleza kulawa Galilaya, wema hatalitali wolola.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Kukala na munhu imwe yokemigwa Usufu, yakalile imwe wa wanhu wa Ikitala Kikulu cha Isi ya Wayahudi, kakala mwende wa Mulungu,Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51na hatogole gaja gawalamule. Kakala yolawa kukiwambo cha Wayahudi kikemigwa Alimataya, na kakala youbeta Undewa wa Mulungu.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.

52Munhu hiyo kachola ha Pilato kulupula lukuli lwa Yesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Abaho, kaluhumulusa hasi ulukuli, kaluvaza sanda, abaho, kalugela mdipanga dipukigwe mdibwe, dikalile hadinazikilwa munhu yoyose.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.

54Dikala zua da kuisasala na Zua da Mhumulo kwavija Zua da Mhumulo dikala behi kusonga.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Waja iwatwanzi, wakalile womkweleleza Yesu kulawa Galilaya, wamkweleleza Usufu. Avo wajona dipanga na avija lukuli lwa Yesu vulwikigwe.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Abaho, wabwela mkae zao kusasala vinung'hanung'ha na mavuta ga kunung'hila ga kulubaka lukuli lwa Yesu. Muna Idizua da Mhumulo, wahumula kamba ndagizi vuzilagize.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
