Vangelo secondo Luca - Luke 23

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Τοτε εσηκωθη απαν το πληθος αυτων και εφεραν αυτον προς τον Πιλατον.	1 Then the whole assembly of them arose and brought him before Pilate.
2 Και ηρχισαν να κατηγορωσιν αυτον, λεγοντες? Τουτον ευρομεν διαστρεφοντα το εθνος και εμποδιζοντα το να διδωσι φορους εις τον Καισαρα, λεγοντα εαυτον οτι ειναι Χριστος βασιλευς.	2 They brought charges against him, saying, "We found this man misleading our people; he opposes the payment of taxes to Caesar and maintains that he is the Messiah, a king."
3 Ο δε Πιλατος ηρωτησεν αυτον, λεγων? Συ εισαι ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων; Ο δε αποκριθεις προς αυτον, ειπε? Συ λεγεις.	3 Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He said to him in reply, "You say so."
4 Και ο Πιλατος ειπε προς τους αρχιερεις και τους οχλους? Ουδεν εγκλημα ευρισκω εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω.	4 Pilate then addressed the chief priests and the crowds, "I find this man not guilty."
5 Οι δε επεμενον λεγοντες οτι Ταραττει τον λαον, διδασκων καθ' ολην την Ιουδαιαν, αρχισας απο της Γαλιλαιας εως εδω.	5 But they were adamant and said, "He is inciting the people with his teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he began even to here."
6 Ο δε Πιλατος ακουσας Γαλιλαιαν ηρωτησεν αν ο ανθρωπος ηναι Γαλιλαιος,	6 On hearing this Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
7 και μαθων οτι ειναι εκ της επικρατειας του Ηρωδου, επεμψεν αυτον προς τον Ηρωδην, οστις ητο και αυτος εν Ιεροσολυμοις εν ταυταις ταις ημεραις.	7 and upon learning that he was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod who was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Ο δε Ηρωδης, ιδων τον Ιησουν, εχαρη πολυ? διοτι ηθελε προ πολλου να ιδη αυτον, επειδη ηκουε πολλα περι αυτου και ηλπιζε να ιδη τι θαυμα γινομενον υπ' αυτου.	8 Herod was very glad to see Jesus; he had been wanting to see him for a long time, for he had heard about him and had been hoping to see him perform some sign.
9 Ηρωτα δε αυτον με λογους πολλους? πλην αυτος δεν απεκριθη προς αυτον ουδεν.	9 He questioned him at length, but he gave him no answer.
10 Ισταντο δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις, κατηγορουντες αυτον εντονως.	10 The chief priests and scribes, meanwhile, stood by accusing him harshly.
11 Αφου δε ο Ηρωδης μετα των στρατευματων αυτου εξουθενησεν αυτον και ενεπαιξεν, ενεδυσεν αυτον λαμπρον ιματιον και επεμψεν αυτον παλιν προς τον Πιλατον.	11 (Even) Herod and his soldiers treated him contemptuously and mocked him, and after clothing him in resplendent garb, he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Εν αυτη δε τη ημερα ο Πιλατος και ο Ηρωδης εγειναν φιλοι μετ' αλληλων? διοτι προτερον ησαν εις εχθραν προς αλληλους.	12 Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, even though they had been enemies formerly.
13 Ο δε Πιλατος, συγκαλεσας τους αρχιερεις και τους αρχοντας και τον λαον,	13 Pilate then summoned the chief priests, the rulers, and the people
14 ειπε προς αυτους? Εφερατε προς εμε τον ανθρωπον τουτον ως στασιαζοντα τον λαον, και ιδου, εγω ενωπιον σας ανακρινας δεν ευρον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω ουδεν εγκλημα εξ οσων κατηγορειτε κατ' αυτου,	14 and said to them, "You brought this man to me and accused him of inciting the people to revolt. I have conducted my investigation in your presence and have not found this man guilty of the charges you have brought against him,
15 αλλ' ουδε ο Ηρωδης, διοτι σας επεμψα προς αυτον? και ιδου, ουδεν αξιον θανατου ειναι πεπραγμενον υπ' αυτου.	15 nor did Herod, for he sent him back to us. So no capital crime has been committed by him.
16 Αφου λοιπον παιδευσω αυτον, θελω απολυσει.	16 Therefore I shall have him flogged and then release him."
17 Επρεπε δε αναγκαιως να απολυη εις αυτους ενα εν τη εορτη.	17
18 Παντες δε ομου ανεκραξαν, λεγοντες? Σηκωσον τουτον, απολυσον δε εις ημας τον Βαραββαν?	18 But all together they shouted out, "Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us."
19 οστις δια στασιν τινα γενομενην εν τη πολει και δια φονον ητο βεβλημενος εις φυλακην.	19 (Now Barabbas had been imprisoned for a rebellion that had taken place in the city and for murder.)
20 Παλιν λοιπον ο Πιλατος ελαλησε προς αυτους, θελων να απολυση τον Ιησουν.	20 Again Pilate addressed them, still wishing to release Jesus,
21 Οι δε εφωναζον, λεγοντες? Σταυρωσον, σταυρωσον αυτον.	21 but they continued their shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"
22 Ο δε και τριτην φοραν ειπε προς αυτους? Και τι κακον επραξεν ουτος; ουδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου ευρον εν αυτω? αφου λοιπον παιδευσω αυτον, θελω απολυσει.	22 Pilate addressed them a third time, "What evil has this man done? I found him guilty of no capital crime. Therefore I shall have him flogged and then release him."
23 Αλλ' εκεινοι επεμενον, με φωνας μεγαλας ζητουντες να σταυρωθη, και αι φωναι αυτων και των αρχιερεων υπερισχυον.	23 With loud shouts, however, they persisted in calling for his crucifixion, and their voices prevailed.
24 Και ο Πιλατος απεφασισε να γεινη το ζητημα αυτων,	24 The verdict of Pilate was that their demand should be granted.
25 και απελυσεν εις αυτους τον δια στασιν και φονον βεβλημενον εις την φυλακην, τον οποιον εζητουν, τον δε Ιησουν παρεδωκεν εις το θελημα αυτων.	25 So he released the man who had been imprisoned for rebellion and murder, for whom they asked, and he handed Jesus over to them to deal with as they wished.
26 Και καθως εφεραν αυτον εξω, επιασαν Σιμωνα τινα Κυρηναιον, ερχομενον απο του αγρου, και εθεσαν επανω αυτου τον σταυρον, δια να φερη αυτον οπισθεν του Ιησου.	26 As they led him away they took hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country; and after laying the cross on him, they made him carry it behind Jesus.
27 Ηκολουθει δε αυτον πολυ πληθος του λαου και γυναικων, αιτινες και ωδυροντο και εθρηνουν αυτον.	27 A large crowd of people followed Jesus, including many women who mourned and lamented him.
28 Στραφεις δε προς αυτας ο Ιησους, ειπε? θυγατερες της Ιερουσαλημ, μη κλαιετε δι' εμε, αλλα δι' εαυτας κλαιετε και δια τα τεκνα σας.	28 Jesus turned to them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep instead for yourselves and for your children,
29 Διοτι ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι καθ' ας θελουσιν ειπει? Μακαριαι αι στειραι και αι κοιλιαι, αιτινες δεν εγεννησαν, και οι μαστοι, οιτινες δεν εθηλασαν.	29 for indeed, the days are coming when people will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed.'
30 Τοτε θελουσιν αρχισει να λεγωσιν εις τα ορη, Πεσετε εφ' ημας, και εις τα βουνα, Σκεπασατε ημας?	30 At that time people will say to the mountains, 'Fall upon us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us!'
31 διοτι εαν εις το υγρον ξυλον πραττωσι ταυτα, τι θελει γεινει εις το ξηρον;	31 for if these things are done when the wood is green what will happen when it is dry?"
32 Εφεροντο δε και αλλοι δυο μετ' αυτου, οιτινες ησαν κακουργοι δια να θανατωθωσι.	32 Now two others, both criminals, were led away with him to be executed.
33 Και οτε ηλθον εις τον τοπον τον ονομαζομενον Κρανιον, εκει εσταυρωσαν αυτον και τους κακουργους, τον μεν εκ δεξιων, τον δε εξ αριστερων.	33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left.
34 Ο δε Ιησους ελεγε? Πατερ, συγχωρησον αυτους? διοτι δεν εξευρουσι τι πραττουσι. Διαμεριζομενοι δε τα ιματια αυτου, εβαλον κληρον.	34 [Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."] They divided his garments by casting lots.
35 Και ιστατο ο λαος θεωρων. Ενεπαιζον δε και οι αρχοντες μετ' αυτων, λεγοντες? Αλλους εσωσεν, ας σωση αυτον, εαν ουτος ηναι ο Χριστος ο εκλεκτος του Θεου.	35 The people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and said, "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God."
36 Ενεπαιζον δε αυτον και οι στρατιωται, πλησιαζοντες και προσφεροντες οξος εις αυτον	36 Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine
37 και λεγοντες? Εαν συ ησαι ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων, σωσον σεαυτον.	37 they called out, "If you are King of the Jews, save yourself."
38 Ητο δε και επιγραφη γεγραμμενη επανωθεν αυτου με γραμματα Ελληνικα και Ρωμαικα και Εβραικα? Ουτος εστιν ο Βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων.	38 Above him there was an inscription that read, "This is the King of the Jews."
39 Εις δε των κρεμασθεντων κακουργων εβλασφημει αυτον, λεγων? Εαν συ ησαι ο Χριστος, σωσον σεαυτον και ημας.	39 Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us."
40 Αποκριθεις δε ο αλλος, επεπληττεν αυτον, λεγων? Ουδε τον Θεον δεν φοβεισαι συ, οστις εισαι εν τη αυτη καταδικη;	40 The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, "Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation?
41 και ημεις μεν δικαιως? διοτι αξια των οσα επραξαμεν απολαμβανομεν? ουτος ομως ουδεν ατοπον επραξε.	41 And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal."
42 Και ελεγε προς τον Ιησουν? Μνησθητι μου, Κυριε, οταν ελθης εν τη βασιλεια σου.	42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
43 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αληθως σοι λεγω, σημερον θελεις εισθαι μετ' εμου εν τω παραδεισω.	43 He replied to him, "Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
44 Ητο δε ως εκτη ωρα και εγεινε σκοτος εφ' ολην την γην εως ωρας εννατης,	44 It was now about noon and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon
45 και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και εσχισθη εις το μεσον το καταπετασμα του ναου?	45 because of an eclipse of the sun. Then the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46 και φωναξας με φωνην μεγαλην ο Ιησους ειπε? Πατερ, εις χειρας σου παραδιδω το πνευμα μου? και ταυτα ειπων εξεπνευσεν.	46 Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit"; and when he had said this he breathed his last.
47 Ιδων δε ο εκατονταρχος το γενομενον, εδοξασε τον Θεον, λεγων? Οντως ο ανθρωπος ουτος ητο δικαιος.	47 The centurion who witnessed what had happened glorified God and said, "This man was innocent beyond doubt."
48 Και παντες οι οχλοι οι συνελθοντες εις την θεωριαν ταυτην, βλεποντες τα γενομενα, υπεστρεφον τυπτοντες τα στηθη αυτων.	48 When all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts;
49 Ισταντο δε μακροθεν παντες οι γνωστοι αυτου, και αι γυναικες αιτινες συνηκολουθησαν αυτον απο της Γαλιλαιας, και εβλεπον ταυτα.	49 but all his acquaintances stood at a distance, including the women who had followed him from Galilee and saw these events.
50 Και ιδου, ανηρ τις Ιωσηφ το ονομα, οστις ητο βουλευτης, ανηρ αγαθος και δικαιος,	50 Now there was a virtuous and righteous man named Joseph who, though he was a member of the council,
51 ουτος δεν ητο συμφωνος με την βουλην και την πραξιν αυτων, απο Αριμαθαιας πολεως των Ιουδαιων, οστις και αυτος περιεμενε την βασιλειαν του Θεου,	51 had not consented to their plan of action. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea and was awaiting the kingdom of God.
52 ουτος ελθων προς τον Πιλατον, εζητησε το σωμα του Ιησου,	52 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 και καταβιβασας αυτο ετυλιξεν αυτο με σινδονα και εθεσεν αυτο εν μνημειω λελατομημενω? οπου ουδεις ετι ειχεν ενταφιασθη.	53 After he had taken the body down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth and laid him in a rock-hewn tomb in which no one had yet been buried.
54 Και ητο ημερα παρασκευη, και εξημερονε σαββατον.	54 It was the day of preparation, and the sabbath was about to begin.
55 Ηκολουθησαν δε και γυναικες, αιτινες ειχον ελθει μετ' αυτου απο της Γαλιλαιας, και ειδον το μνημειον και πως ετεθη το σωμα αυτου.	55 The women who had come from Galilee with him followed behind, and when they had seen the tomb and the way in which his body was laid in it,
56 Και αφου υπεστρεψαν ητοιμασαν αρωματα και μυρα. Και το μεν σαββατον ησυχασαν κατα την εντολην.	56 they returned and prepared spices and perfumed oils. Then they rested on the sabbath according to the commandment.
