Johan 19
1 Te vaengah Pilat loh Jesuh te a doek tih a boh sak.
After that, Pilate had Jesus scourged.
2 Rhalkap rhoek long khaw hling rhuisam a vaeh uh tih a lu ah a khuem sak uh. Te phoeiah daidi himbai neh a khuk uh.
The soldiers made a crown with some thorns and put it on his head and threw a purple robe round him.
3 Te phoeiah amah te a paan uh tih, “Judah rhoek kah manghai te uem uh lah,” a ti uh phoeiah kutcaihnah la a khueh uh.
They kept coming up to him and saying: “Long live the King of the Jews!” and they gave him blow after blow with their hands.
4 Te phoeiah Pilat te phawn koep cet tih amih te, “Anih he nangmih taengah phawn kang hal coeng ne. Te daengah ni anih soah paelnaehnah ka hmuh pawt te na ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
Pilate again came outside, and said to the people: “Look! I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find nothing with which he can be charged.”
5 Jesuh tah pawh ha thoeng vaengah hling rhuisam neh daidi himbai te a bai. Pilat long khaw amih taengah, “Hlang aih he,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate said to them: “Here is the man!”
6 Te dongah khosoihham rhoek neh tueihyoeih rhoek loh amah te a hmuh uh vaengah a ho uh tih, “Tai laeh, tai laeh,” a ti uh. Pilat loh amih taengah, “Amah he namamih loh khuen uh lamtah tai uh. Kai tah a soah paelnaehnah ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
When the Chief Priests and the police-officers saw him, they shouted: “Crucify him! Crucify him!” “Take him yourselves and crucify him,” said Pilate. “For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.”
7 Judah rhoek loh, “Kaimih loh olkhueng ka khueh uh. Te dongah amah te Pathen capa la a sak uh dongah olkhueng vanbangla a duek ham a kuek,” a ti uh.
“But we,” replied the Jews, “have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God.”
8 Pilat loh hekah olka a yaak vaengah taoe a rhih.
When Pilate heard what they said, he became still more alarmed;
9 Te dongah khoboeiyung la koep kun tih Jesuh te, “Nang mekah nim?” a ti nah. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te ollannah khaw thuung pawh.
and, going into the Government House again, he said to Jesus: “Where do you come from?”
10 Te dongah Pilat loh, “Kai rhae nan voek pawh. Nang hlah ham saithainah ka khueh tih nang tai ham khaw saithainah ka khueh te na ming moenih a?” a ti nah.
But Jesus made no reply. So Pilate said to him: “Do you refuse to speak to me? Do not you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?”
11 Jesuh loh, “Nang taengah soben lamkah paek la a om pawt atah kai taengah saithainah na khueh loeng loeng moenih. Te dongah nang taengah kai aka voei loh a nah la tholhnah a khueh,” a ti nah.
“You would have no power over me at all,” answered Jesus, “if it had not been given you from above; and, therefore, the man who betrayed me to you is guilty of the greater sin.”
12 Te vaeng lamkah Pilat loh Jesuh te hlah ham a dawn. Tedae Judah rhoek te pang uh tih, “Anih he na hlah atah Kaisar kah paya la na om moenih. Amah te manghai la aka saii uh boeih loh Kaisar te a tloelh,” a ti uh.
This made Pilate anxious to release him; but the Jews shouted: “If you release that man, you are no friend of the Emperor! Any one who makes himself out to be a King is setting himself against the Emperor!”
13 Hekah olka te a yaak dongah Pilat loh Jesuh te phawn a mawt. Te vaengah amah te lungphaih [tedae Hebrew ol la Gabbatha] la a khue hmuen kah ngolkhoel soah ngol.
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out, and took his seat upon the Bench at a place called ‘The Stone Pavement’ — in Hebrew ‘Gabbatha.’
14 Te vaengah yoom kah rhuengphongnah om. Khonoek parhuk tluk a lo vaengah Judah rhoek te, “Nangmih kah manghai he,” a ti nah.
It was the Passover Preparation Day, and about noon. Then he said to the Jews: “Here is your King!”
15 Te dongah amih loh, “Khuen laeh, khuen laeh, anih te tai laeh,” tila a ho uh. Pilat loh amih te, “Nangmih kah manghai te ka tai aya?” a ti nah. Khosoihham loh, “Kaisar pawt atah manghai ka khueh uh moenih,” a ti uh.
At that the people shouted: “Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!” “What! shall I crucify your King?” exclaimed Pilate. “We have no King but the Emperor,” replied the Chief Priests;
16 Te dongah Jesuh te tai ham amih taengah a paek tih a khuen uh.
whereupon Pilate gave Jesus up to them to be crucified.
17 Thinglam te khaw amah loh a koh tih lurhuh a ti nah hmuen la cet. Tekah te Hebrew la Golgotha a ti.
and he went out, carrying his cross himself, to the place which is named from a scull, or, in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18 Te ah te amah neh a taengah voeivang kah a tloe rhoi laklo ah Jesuh te a tai uh.
There they crucified him, and two others with him — one on each side, and Jesus between them.
19 Mingnoek khaw Pilat loh a daek tih thinglam soi ah a tai uh. Te vaengkah a daek te “Judah rhoek kah manghai Nazareth Jesuh” la om.
Pilate also had these words written and put up over the cross — ‘JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
20 Jesuh thinglam ah a tai nah hmuen te kho neh rhep a om dongah tekah mingnoek te Judah rhoek loh muep a tae uh. Te te Hebrew, Latin, Greek la a daek.
These words were read by many of the Jews, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and they were written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.
21 Te dongah Judah khosoihham rhoek loh Pilat te, “Judah rhoek kah manghai lam pawt tih amah loh, ‘Judah rhoek kah manghai la ka om a ti,’ tila na daek mako,” a ti nah uh.
The Jewish Chief Priests said to Pilate: “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews’, but write what the man said — ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
22 Pilat loh, “Ka daek tangtae te ka daek coeng,” a ti nah.
But Pilate answered: “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Te dongah Jesuh a tai uh vaengah rhalkap rhoek loh a himbai te a loh pah uh. Te phoeiah pali la a vaek uh tih rhalkap pakhat loh khat rhip a loh uh. Angki te khaw om dae angki te a so lamkah rhuih boeih a tah dongah mulh phaai uh.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares — a share for each soldier — and they took the coat also. The coat had no seam, being woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 Te dongah amamih te, “He tah phen uh boel sih. Tedae u ham a om khaw hmulung bangla yo uh sih,” a ti uh. Te daengah ni cacim loh, “Ka himbai te amamih ham a phen uh tih, ka pueinak te hmulung a naan uh,” a ti te a soep eh. Rhalkap rhoek long khaw te te a saii uh tangloeng.
So they said to one another: “Do not let us tear it, but let us cast lots for it, to see who shall have it.” This was in fulfilment of the words of Scripture — ‘They shared my clothes among them, And over my clothing they cast lots.’ That was what the soldiers did.
25 Jesuh kah thinglam taengah a manu, a manu kah a mana, Klopa yuu Mary neh Magadala Mary te pai uh.
Meanwhile near the cross of Jesus were standing his mother and his mother’s sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary of Magdala.
26 Te vaengah Jesuh loh a manu neh a lungnah hnukbang a pai te a hmuh vaengah a manu te, “Huta na capa aih he,” a ti nah.
When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing near, he said to his mother: “There is your son.”
27 Te phoeiah hnukbang te, “Na nu te ne,” a ti nah. Te vaeng tue lamkah tah hnukbang pakhat loh a manu te amah taengla a khuen.
Then he said to that disciple: “There is your mother.” And from that very hour the disciple took her to live in his house.
28 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh boeih soep coeng tila a ming. Te daengah ni cacim khaw a soep eh.
Afterwards, knowing that everything was now finished, Jesus said, in fulfilment of the words of Scripture: “I am thirsty.”
29 “Tui ka hal,” a ti vaengah amrhaeng dongah yuthui a bae la ana om. Caethum te yuthui neh mawk a sul phoeiah pumpiding neh a yen uh tih a ka ah a mop pa uh.
There was a bowl standing there full of common wine; so they put a sponge soaked in the wine on the end of a hyssop-stalk, and held it up to his mouth.
30 Tedae yuthui te a doe vaengah Jesuh loh, “Ka khah coeng,” a ti. Te phoeiah a lu a thuk tih a a mal te pat.
When Jesus had received the wine, he exclaimed: “All is finished!” Then, bowing his head, he resigned his spirit to God.
31 Te vaengah Judah rhoek tah rhuengphongnah om coeng. Sabbath te khohnin tanglue la a om dongah Sabbath vaengah tah thinglam dongah rhok a naeh sak moenih. Te dongah Pilat taengah, “Amih rhoek kah kho te khaem vetih khuen ham a bih uh.
It was the Preparation Day, and so, to prevent the bodies from remaining on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 Te dongah rhalkap rhoek loh a paan uh tih lamhma kah kho te a khaem pa uh. Te phoeiah a taengkah a tai hmaih pakhat kah te khaw a khaem pa uh.
Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and then those of the other who had been crucified with Jesus;
33 Tedae Jesuh taengah a pha uh vaengah a duek tangtae la a hmuh uh dongah a kho te khaem pa uh pawh.
but, on coming to him, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 Tedae rhalkap pakhat loh cai neh a vae te a thun hatah thii neh tui pong ha thoeng.
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water immediately flowed from it.
35 Te vaengkah aka hmuh loh, ‘A olphong tah oltak la om tih nangmih long khaw na tangnah uh ham a thui te amah tah thuem tila ming,’ tila a phong.
This is the statement of one who actually saw it — and his statement may be relied upon, and he knows that he is speaking the truth — and it is given in order that you also may be convinced.
36 He he a om daengah ni cacim loh, “A rhuh tlawt mahpawh,” a ti te a soep eh.
For all this took place in fulfilment of the words of Scripture — ‘Not one of its bones shall be broken.’
37 Te phoeiah cacim pakhat loh, “Anih a thun uh te a sawt uh ni,” tila koep a thui.
And there is another passage which says — ‘They will look upon him whom they pierced.’
38 Te phoeiah Arimathea lamkah Joseph loh Jesuh kah rhok khuen ham te Pilat te a dawt. Jesuh hnukbang la om dae Judah rhoek a rhihnah dongah a phah. Pilat loh a paek dongah a paan tih a rhok te a khuen.
After this, Joseph of Ramah, a disciple of Jesus — but a secret one, owing to his fear of the Jews — begged Pilate’s permission to remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him leave; so Joseph went and removed the body.
39 Te phoeiah Nikodemu khaw ha pawk. Te long te hnuk vaengkah khoyin ah amah te a paan coeng. Anih long te myrrh neh thingul pound yakhat tluk a thoek te a khuen.
Nicodemus, too — the man who had formerly visited Jesus by night — came with a roll of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.
40 Jesuh kah rhok te a loh rhoi phoeiah Judah rhoek kah khosing a om vanbangla up ham himbai te bo-ul neh a yol rhoi.
They took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
41 Te vaengah a tai nah hmuen te dum ah om. Dum khuiah hlan thai om tih a khuiah ukhaw up hlan.
At the place where Jesus had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a newly-made tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Judah rhoek kah rhuengphongnah te tapkhoeh a om dongah a yoei kah aka om phuel ah Jesuh te a up rhoi.
And so, because of its being the Preparation Day, and as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
