Luke 23 (ZAK) · Opened

1Kyaamwe, abhakuru bhoosi bha Abhayahudi bhakiimeerera, bhakamuhira Yeesu ku Pirato.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2Bhakataanga okumuzoongera kwo obhuhaari, bhakabhuga, “Omuutu wuno, tumubhweeni arabhatubhuuzikania abhaatu bhe ekyaaro kyeetu kwo okubha, arabharekya abhaatu kubha bhatariha eriigooti kweeki ku Kaisari. Na arabhuga kubha ewe niwe Masiya, omutemi.”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.”

3Niho, Pirato akamubhuurya Yeesu, “Awe naawe omutemi wa Abhayahudi?” Yeesu akamukyoora, “Naawe ogaambiri.”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Niho kweeki, Pirato akabhabhuurira abhakuru bha abhaseengeri bhayo, hamwe ne eriihizo rya abhaatu, “Omuutu wuno, niruuzi atana isarya riyo ryoosi rirya.”Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5Abhaatu bhayo, bhakagaamba kwo okukumiirirya, “Ndora arasiigirirya abhaatu bha mukyaaro kyoosi kya Yudea. Akataanga okweegya eyo Gariraaya, na akanyaragania tee hano.”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.”

6Hano Pirato akiigwa gayo, akabhuurya, “Omuutu wuno ni Mugariraaya?”When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Na hano yamenyiri kubha ewe ni Mugariraaya wa mubhukaangati bhwa Herode, akamutuma kweewe, kwo okubha eziisiku ziyo, Herode ahaabha Yerusaremu hayo.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Niigo Herode akarora Yeesu, akazomererwa bhukongʼu, kwo okubha aheenda amurore kuziisiku nzaru. Omweene yaari yiigwiiri amangʼana gaaye, akeenda kurora Yeesu akukora ekitiika.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.

9Herode akamubhuurya Yeesu kwa amabhuuryo maaru, nawe Yeesu ataamukyooriri ngʼana.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Abhakuru bha abhaseengeri na abheegya bhe emigiro, bhakahita embere bhakataanga kuzoongera Yeesu kwo obhuhaari.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11Herode na abhasirikare bhaaye bhakataanga kumuzibhura, bhakamuseka, bhakamwiibhohya emyeenda emizomu. Kyaamwe bhakamukyoorya ku Pirato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12Na kweema orusiku ruyo, Herode na Pirato bhakiigwaana bhakabha abhasaani, yiingabha ekare hayo bhaari ni bhabhisa.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13Kyaamwe, Pirato akabhakumania abhakuru bha abhaseengeri, abhakaangati bha Abhayahudi, hamwe na abhaatu bha mumugye.Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14Akabhabhuurira, “Mundeeteeri omuutu wuno murabhuga arasiigirirya abhaatu. Mumenye kubha nimariri kumubhuurya embere weenyu. Na kwa amasemo geenyu goosi, ritariho isarya riyo ryoosi rino niruuzi kweewe.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.

15Nawe Herode woosi, ataaruuzi kino asarirye, nikyo amukyoorirye kweetwe. Mumenyeekereerye kisi kubha, omuutu wuno ataakoriri ngʼana yino eraagirye yiitwe!Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16Kweego ndabhabhuurira abhasirikare bhamuteme eziityaanya, kumara nimuhaatire.” [Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17Pirato wuyo, eriibhaga rye Enyaangi yo Okuhiita, yaari ereenderwa abhiigurire omubhohwa wumwe kurwa mukibhoho.]Not in the BSB

18Abhaatu bhayo bhoosi bhakakora ekituri hamwe bharabhuga, “Oturuusiryeho omuutu wuyo, otwiigurire Baraaba!”But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19Baraaba wuyo, ahaabha abhohirwe mukibhoho, kwo okukora obhwaangi bhuno bhwatuukiri mumugye no obhwiiti.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Pirato akagaambana na abhaatu bhayo rwa kabhiri kweeki, kwo okubha akeenda amuhaatire Yeesu.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Kyaamwe, ebho bhakeenderera kukora ekituri, “Mumubhaambe, mumubhaambe kumusaraba!”but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22Kweeki akagaambana nabho rwa katatu, “Akoriri isaryaki rino rigirirye abhaambwe kumusaraba? Ndora etariho engʼana yino niruuzi kweewe yino eraagirye yiitwe! Kweego ndabhabhuurira bhamuteme eziityaanya, kumara nimuhaatire.”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.”

23Kyaamwe, abhaatu bhayo bhakoongera kutema ekituri bhukongʼu kubha Yeesu yiitwe kumusaraba, ne eriiraka ryaabhu rikakiraho.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24Niho Pirato akiikirirya, abhaatu bhayo bhakore kyeego bhaari bhasabhiri.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25Akabhiigurira omusarya wurya, wuno ahaabha abhohirwe kwo okukora obhuhakani no obhwiiti, akaragania bhamugege Yeesu bhamukorere kyeego bhakweenda.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26Hano abhasirikare bhaari bhakumuhira Yeesu kumwiita, bhakasikana no omuutu wumwe, eriina ryaaye Simooni wa mumugye gwa Kirene. Simooni wuyo, yaari arareka mumuguundu. Niho bhakamugwaata kwa nguru, bhakamuseserya omusaraba. Akabha aramurwa Yeesu kwiinyuma.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.

27Abhaatu bhaaru bhahaamutuniirira Yeesu, gati yaabhu abhakari bhaari bharamuririra kwe ebhigoongi.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28Yeesu akabhiikibhukira, akabhabhuurira, “Emwe abhakari bha Yerusaremu, mutaandirira enye! Nawe mwiiririre abheene na abhaana bheenyu.But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29Mumenye kubha, eziisiku zino zikuuza, abhaatu bharabhuga, hakiriku abhakari abhaguumba na bhano bhatakookirye!Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30Kyaamwe, bharabhuurira ebhiguru, ‘Mutugweere,’ bharabhuurira ehiguru, ‘Mutukuundikirye.’At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31Eraabhe gayo garaakorwe kumuti omubhisi, erabhabhwi kumuti omwoomu?”For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Abhasirikare bhakabhahira Yeesu na abhaatu bhe ebhibhi bhabhiri, keembo bhagye kwiitwa hamwe.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33Bhakahika ahagiro hano haabhirikiirwe Ekihaanga kyo Omutwe, niho bhakabhabhaamba Yeesu na abhaatu bhe ebhibhi bhabhiri bhayo kumisaraba, owumwe orubhaara rwaaye rwo obhuryo, no owuundi orubhaara rwo obhumosi.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.

34Yeesu akabhuga, “Ee Taata, obhaabhire, kwo okubha gano bhakukora bhatagamenyiri.” Abhasirikare bhayo bhakatwaana eziingibho zyaaye, na bhakazitemera obhwiitoori.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35Abhaatu bhakiimeerera hayo bhakiisuunza, na abhakaangati bha Abhayahudi, bhakataanga okumuseka Yeesu, bhakabhuga, “Ndora ahaabhatuurya abhaandi, bhoono araabhe niwe Masiya wuno yasorirwe na Taatabhugya, yiituurye omweene.”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.”

36Abhasirikare nabho bhakamuzibhura, bhakamwiisukira, okubha bhamuhe amaanzi amaruru go omuzabibu gari musuka.The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37Bhakamubhuurira, “Eraabhe heene naawe omutemi wa Abhayahudi, wiituurye omweene.”“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38Na iguru yaaye amakaamo gakatuurwa kurubaawa, gakaamirwe, “Wuno ni Mutemi wa Abhayahudi.”Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39Kubhakori bhe ebhibhi bhabhiri bhayo, owumwe akamutuka Yeesu arabhuga, “Awe naawe Masiya? Bhoono ituurya omweene, otutuurye na neetwe.”One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40Kyaamwe, omusarya omurikyaaye akamurekya, akabhuga, “Awe otakumwoobhoha Taatabhugya yiingabha hasuuhu? Ekiina kino tutiniirwe, nikyo woosi araatinirwe.But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41Etwe tutiniirwe kwo obhuheene bhwe ebhisigo bhyeetu, nawe wuno atana isarya rino akoriri.”We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Kyaamwe, akabhuga, “Ee Yeesu! Onihiite na neenye hano oraasikire mubhutemi bhwaazo.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43Yeesu akamukyoora, “Ndakubhuurira obhuheene, reero yino turabha hamwe mwiisaaro.”And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44Eriibhaga ryaari rya kasaasabha mumwiisi, ekiirima kikasikira mukyaaro kyoosi tee eriibhaga rya keenda,It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45kwo okubha eryoobha rikarima. No omweenda guno gwaari gusuungirwe mu Hahoreeru he eriiseengerero, gukaraanduka mbaara ibhiri.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46Yeesu akarira kwiiraka ikuru, “Ee Taata, ndatuura ekoro yaane mumabhoko gaazo.”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.

47Na hano yamariri kugaamba gayo akatina ekoro. Omukuru wa abhasirikare hano yaruuzi gayo, akamukumya Taatabhugya arabhuga, “Nimenyiri omuutu wuno yaari omuheene.”When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48Abhaatu bhoosi bhano bhaari bhiikumanirye hayo kurora ekisigo kiyo, hano bhaaruuzi gayo bhakakyoora mumigye gyaabhu, bhariitematema mubhikubha bhyaabhu kwe ebhigoongi.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49Na abhaandi bhano bhaamumenyiri Yeesu, bhakiikara kure no okwiisuunza gano gaari kukorwa. Gati waabhu, abhakari bhaari bharimu bhano bhakumutuniirira kurwa Gariraaya.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50Hahaabha no omuutu wumwe, eriina ryaaye Yusufu, wa mumugye gwa Arimataya wa mukyaaro kya Yudea. Yusufu wuyo, ahaabha wumwe gati wa abhakuru bha Abhayahudi, nawe atiikirirenie na abharikyaaye kwe ekiina kyo okumwiita Yeesu. Ewe yaari omuutu omuzomu no omuheene, na ahaabha araganya obhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya bhuuze.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

52Niho Yusufu wuyo, akagya ku Pirato akamusabha ekituundu kya Yeesu.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53Na hano Pirato akiikirirya, Yusufu akagya akiikya ekituundu okurwa kumusaraba, akakiriizirira mumweenda gwo obhuguri bhukuru. Kyaamwe akakihiindirya mumbiihira yino yabhaazirwe kwiitare, na mumbiihira muyo, ataariho omuutu owuundi wuno yabhiikirwemu.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.

54Orusiku ruyo, rukabha orusiku rwo okubhanura no orusiku rwo okumuunya, na runo rwaari haguhi kuhika.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55Abhakari bhano bhaageendiri hamwe na Yeesu kurwa Gariraaya bhakaaza na Yusufu. Bhakamutuniirira bhakarora mumbiihira muyo, na kyeego ekituundu kya Yeesu kihiindirwemu.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56Kyaamwe, bhakakyoora yiika, bhakabhanura amaguta no omuruumbaaso, bhaaze nabhyo kuhaka kukituundu kya Yeesu. Kyaamwe orusiku rwo okumuunya, kyeego emigiro gyaari kweenda.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
