Yesu mu Maaso ga Piraato

23 (A)Awo Olukiiko lwonna ne lusituka, ne batwala Yesu ewa Piraato. (B)Ne batandika okumuwawaabira nti, “Omuntu ono ajagalaza eggwanga lyaffe, ng’atuziyiza okuwa Kayisaali omusolo, nga yeeyita Kristo, kabaka.” Piraato kwe kubuuza Yesu nti, “Ggwe kabaka w’Abayudaaya?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe okyogedde.”

(C)Awo Piraato n’akyukira bakabona abakulu n’ekibiina ky’abantu n’abagamba nti, “Siraba musango muntu ono gw’azizza.”

(D)Naye ne beeyongera okulumiriza nga bagamba nti, “Asasamazza abantu n’okuyigiriza kwe mu Buyudaaya mwonna. Yatandikira Ggaliraaya okutuukira ddala ne wano!”

(E)Piraato bwe yawulira ebyo kwe kubuuza nti, “Omuntu ono Mugaliraaya?” (F)Bwe yategeera nga Yesu Mugaliraaya, n’amuweereza eri Kerode, kubanga Ggaliraaya kyali kifugibwa Kerode, ate nga Kerode mu kiseera ekyo yali ali mu Yerusaalemi.

(G)Awo Kerode bwe yalaba Yesu, n’asanyuka nnyo, kubanga yali atutte ekiseera kiwanvu ng’ayagala okulaba Yesu. Era okuva ku ebyo bye yali amuwuliddeko yasuubira ng’ajja kumulaba ng’akolayo ekyamagero. (H)N’amubuuza ebibuuzo bingi, naye Yesu n’atamuddamu. 10 Mu kiseera ekyo, bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka baali awo mu busungu obungi ne baleekaanira waggulu nga bamulumiriza. 11 (I)Kerode n’abaserikale be ne batandika okuduulira Yesu, n’okumuvuma. Ne bamwambaza ekyambalo ekinekaaneka, ne bamuzzaayo ewa Piraato. 12 (J)Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, Kerode ne Piraato, abaali bakyawaganye, ne bafuuka ba mukwano.

Piraato Asalira Yesu ogw’Okufa

13 Awo Piraato n’akuŋŋaanya bakabona abakulu, n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, n’abantu, 14 (K)n’abagamba nti, “Mwandeetedde omuntu ono nga mumuwawaabira nti asasamaza abantu bajeeme. Mubuuzizza nnyo era ne neetegereza bulungi ensonga eyo nga nammwe we muli, naye ne nsanga nga talina musango ku ebyo bye mumuwawaabidde. 15 Ne Kerode naye tamulabyeko musango era kyavudde amukomyawo gye tuli. Omuntu ono talina ky’akoze kimusaanyiza kibonerezo kya kufa. 16 (L)Noolwekyo ŋŋenda mukangavvulamu, ndyoke mmusumulule.”

17 Ku buli mbaga ya Kuyitako, Piraato ng’ateekwa okubateera omusibe omu. 18 (M)Ekibiina kyonna ne kireekaana nnyo nti, “Oyo mutte! Otuteere Balaba.” 19 Balaba ono yali asibiddwa lwa kukulembera kasasamalo mu kibuga, era n’olw’obutemu.

20 Piraato olw’okwagala okusumulula Yesu, n’ayongera okwogera nabo. 21 Naye ne beeyongera okuleekaana nti, “Mukomerere ku musaalaba! Mukomerere ku musaalaba!”

22 (N)Piraato n’ayogera nabo omulundi ogwokusatu nti, “Lwaki? Azzizza musango ki? Sirabye nsonga yonna emusaanyiza kibonerezo kya kufa. Noolwekyo ka mmukangavvule, ndyoke mmusumulule.” 23 Naye ne beeyongera nnyo okuleekaana, n’okuwowoggana nga baagala Yesu akomererwe ku musaalaba. Era okuleekaana kwabwe ne kuwangula.

24 Awo Piraato n’akola nga bwe baayagala. 25 N’asumulula Balaba, gwe baasaba eyali asibiddwa olw’okusasamaza abantu n’olw’obutemu. Naye n’abakwasa Yesu bagende bamukole nga bwe baagala.

Yesu Akomererwa ku Musaalaba

26 (O)Awo ne bafulumya Yesu okumutwala okumukomerera. Bwe baali bamutwala ne basanga omusajja Omukuleene erinnya lye Simooni, yali ava mu kyalo nga yaakayingira mu kibuga, ne bamuwaliriza okusitula omusaalaba gwa Yesu ku kibegabega kye; n’agusitula n’agutwala ng’atambulira emabega wa Yesu. 27 (P)Ekibiina kinene ne bagoberera Yesu nga mwe muli n’abakazi abaali bamukaabira nga bwe bakuba ebiwoobe. 28 (Q)Naye Yesu n’abakyukira n’abagamba nti, “Abawala ba Yerusaalemi, temukaabira Nze, wabula mwekaabire era mukaabire n’abaana bammwe. 29 (R)Kubanga ekiseera kijja abakazi abatalina baana lwe baliyitibwa ab’omukisa ddala.

30 (S)“ ‘Baligamba ensozi nti, “Mutugweko,”
    n’obusozi nti, “Mutuziike.” ’

31 (T)Kale, obanga bino babikola ku muti omubisi, naye ku mukalu kiriba kitya?”

32 (U)Waaliwo n’abasajja abalala babiri, bombi nga bamenyi ba mateeka, abaatwalibwa ne Yesu okuttibwa. 33 Awo bwe baatuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Ekiwanga, ne bamukomerera awo ku musaalaba, awamu n’abamenyi b’amateeka, omu ku ludda lwa Yesu olwa ddyo n’omulala ku ludda olwa kkono. 34 (V)Yesu n’agamba nti, “Kitange, basonyiwe, kubanga kye bakola tebakimanyi.” Awo abaserikale ne bagabana ebyambalo bye nga babikubira akalulu.

35 (W)Ekibiina ne kimutunuulira. Abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bamusekerera nga bagamba nti, “Yalokolanga balala, ka tulabe naye bwe yeerokola, obanga ye Kristo wa Katonda Omulonde we.”

36 (X)N’abaserikale nabo ne bamuduulira ne bamuwa wayini omukaatuufu, 37 (Y)nga bagamba nti, “Obanga ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya, weerokole!”

38 (Z)Waggulu w’omutwe gwa Yesu ku musaalaba kwateekebwako ekiwandiiko mu bigambo bino nti,

Ono ye Kabaka w’Abayudaaya.

39 (AA)Omu ku bamenyi b’amateeka abaakomererwa naye n’avuma Yesu ng’agamba nti, “Si ggwe Masiya? Kale weerokole era naffe otulokole.” 40 Naye munne bwe baakomererwa n’amunenya, n’amugamba nti, “N’okutya totya Katonda, nga naawe oli ku kibonerezo kye kimu kya kufa? 41 (AB)Ffe tuvunaaniddwa bya nsonga, kubanga ebikolwa byaffe bitusaanyiza kino. Naye ono talina kisobyo kyonna ky’akoze.”

42 (AC)N’alyoka agamba nti, “Yesu, onzijukiranga bw’olijja mu bwakabaka bwo.”

43 (AD)Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ddala ddala nkugamba nti olwa leero ojja kubeera nange mu Lusuku lwa Katonda.”

Okufa kwa Yesu

44 (AE)Awo obudde bwe bwatuuka essaawa omukaaga ez’omu ttuntu, enzikiza n’ekwata ku nsi yonna, okutuusa ku ssaawa ey’omwenda, 45 (AF)kubanga enjuba yalekeraawo okwaka. Amangwago eggigi ly’omu Yeekaalu ne liyulikamu wabiri. 46 (AG)Awo Yesu n’ayogerera waggulu n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba nti, “Kitange, nteeka omwoyo gwange mu mikono gyo.” Bwe yamala okwogera ebigambo ebyo, n’afa.

47 (AH)Omuserikale Omuruumi omukulu w’ekitongole eyakulembera abaserikale abaakomerera Yesu, bwe yalaba ebibaddewo, n’atendereza Katonda ng’agamba nti, “Mazima omuntu ono abadde mutuukirivu.” 48 (AI)Abantu bonna abaali bazze okwerolera, bwe baalaba ebibaddewo ne baddayo ewaabwe nga beekuba mu kifuba nga bajjudde ennaku nnyingi. 49 (AJ)Mikwano gya Yesu, awamu n’abakazi abajja naye nga bamugoberera okuviira ddala e Ggaliraaya, baali bayimiridde nga beesuddeko akabanga, nga batunuulira byonna ebibaddewo.

Okuziikibwa kwa Yesu

50 Laba waaliwo omusajja erinnya lye Yusufu, ng’atuula mu Lukiiko Olukulu olw’Abayudaaya, yali musajja mulungi era nga mutuukirivu, 51 (AK)teyakkirizaganya na banne mu ebyo bye baasalawo ku Yesu ne bye baakola. Yali wa mu kibuga Alimasaya eky’omu Buyudaaya. Yali ng’alindirira n’essuubi ddene okulaba obwakabaka bwa Katonda. 52 Omusajja ono n’agenda eri Piraato n’asabayo omulambo gwa Yesu. 53 Bwe yaguggya ku musaalaba, n’aguzinga mu lugoye lwa linena olweru ennyo, n’agugalamiza mu ntaana ey’empuku eyali etemeddwa mu lwazi, era nga teziikibwangamu muntu. 54 (AL)Bino byonna byaliwo ku Lwakutaano, olunaku olw’okweteekerateekerako ng’enkeera ye Ssabbiiti.

55 (AM)Omulambo gwa Yesu bwe gwali gutwalibwa mu ntaana, abakazi abaava e Ggaliraaya ne bagoberera nga bavaako emabega, ne balaba entaana n’omulambo gwe nga bwe gwagalamizibwamu. 56 (AN)Ne balyoka baddayo eka ne bategeka ebyakaloosa n’amafuta ag’okusiiga omulambo gwa Yesu. Naye ne bawummula ku Ssabbiiti ng’etteeka bwe liragira.

23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.(A) And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation.(B) He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar(C) and claims to be Messiah, a king.”(D)

So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”(E)

But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee(F) and has come all the way here.”

On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.(G) When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod,(H) who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him.(I) From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.(J) 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe,(K) they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends(L)—before this they had been enemies.

13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.(M) 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will punish him(N) and then release him.” [17] [a]

18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”(O) 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”(P)

23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(Q)

26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene,(R) who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.(S) 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed(T) for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.(U) 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’(V) 30 Then

“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
    and to the hills, “Cover us!”’[b](W)

31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(X)

32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.(Y) 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father,(Z) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[c](AA) And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(AB)

35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.(AC) They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”(AD)

36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him.(AE) They offered him wine vinegar(AF) 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,(AG) save yourself.”

38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.(AH)

39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”(AI)

40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”(AJ)

42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[d](AK)

43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”(AL)

The Death of Jesus(AM)

44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,(AN) 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple(AO) was torn in two.(AP) 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice,(AQ) “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[e](AR) When he had said this, he breathed his last.(AS)

47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God(AT) and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” 48 When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts(AU) and went away. 49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee,(AV) stood at a distance,(AW) watching these things.

The Burial of Jesus(AX)

50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God.(AY) 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day,(AZ) and the Sabbath was about to begin.

55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee(BA) followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.(BB) But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.(BC)
