Luka 23
1 Amih te rhaengpuei la huek pai uh tih Jesuh te Pilat taengla a khuen uh.
And the entire multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.
2 Te vaengah Jesuh te pahoi a paelnaeh uh tih, “Anih loh mah namtu he a pamdah sak, Kaisar taengah mangmu paek ham te a paa sak tih amah te, ‘Khrih manghai ni,’ a ti khaw ka hmuh,” a ti uh.
Then they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this one subverting our nation, and prohibiting giving tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.”
3 Te phoeiah Pilat loh a dawt tih, “Nang he Judah manghai la na om a?” a ti nah. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Nang long ni na ti,” a ti nah.
And Pilate questioned him, saying: “You are the king of the Jews?” But in response, he said: “You are saying it.”
4 Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek neh hlangping rhoek te, “Hekah hlang soah a lolh ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
Then Pilate said to the leaders of the priests and to the crowds, “I find no case against this man.”
5 Tedae amih loh a mangkhak la, “Pilnam a hueh tih, Galilee lamloh he hil, Judah tom ah pahoi a thuituen,” a ti uh.
But they continued more intensely, saying: “He has stirred up the people, teaching throughout all of Judea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.”
6 Pilat loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah hlang tah Galilee hoel la om maco,” a ti.
But Pilate, upon hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee.
7 Te daengah Herod kah saithainah dongah aka om la a ming tih Herod taengla a tueih. Te vaeng tue ah Herod khaw Jerusalem ah om.
And when he realized that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem in those days.
8 Herod loh Jesuh te a hmuh vaengah bahoeng omngaih. Hlamat kum lamkah a kawng a yaak coeng dongah amah hmuh ham te ngaihlih ana om coeng. Te dongah anih loh a saii miknoek khat khat te hmuh hamla a ngaiuep.
Then Herod, upon seeing Jesus, was very glad. For he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard so many things about him, and he was hoping to see some kind of sign wrought by him.
9 Te dongah Jesuh te ol muep a dawt. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo moenih.
Then he questioned him with many words. But he gave him no response at all.
10 Te vaengah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek loh pai uh tih Jesuh te rhaprhap a paelnaeh uh.
And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, stood firm in persistently accusing him.
11 Herod neh a rhalkap rhoek long khaw Jesuh te a hnaelcoe uh tih a tamdaeng uh. Te phoeiah himbai a cim thik a bai sak tih Pilat taengla a tueih uh.
Then Herod, with his soldiers, scorned him. And he ridiculed him, clothing him in a white garment. And he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Te khohnin kuelhuelh ah Herod neh Pilat loh khat neh khat paya la coeng rhoi. A noek ah amih rhoi te thunkha la om rhoi dae ta.
And Herod and Pilate became friends on that day. For previously they were enemies to one another.
13 Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek, boei rhoek neh pilnam te a hueh tih,
And Pilate, calling together the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14 “Hekah hlang he kai taengah pilnam aka palet bangla nang khuen uh. Kai loh nangmih hmaiah ka boelh het coeng dae a lolh la anih na paelnaeh uh thil te hekah hlang soah ka hmuh moenih he.
said to them: “You have brought before me this man, as one who disturbs the people. And behold, having questioned him before you, I find no case against this man, in those things about which you accuse him.
15 Herod long khaw a hmuh pawt dongah ni anih he mamih taengla han tueih. A saii te dueknah neh aka tiing a om moenih he.
And neither did Herod. For I sent you all to him, and behold, nothing deserving of death was recorded about him.
16 Te dongah anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah eh,” a ti nah.
Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”
17 Khotue ah amih ham hlang pakhat tah a loeih sak ham manghkhak la a kuek.
Now he was required to release one person for them on the feast day.
18 Tedae huek pang uh tih, “Anih he khuen laeh, Barabbas mah kaimih ham han hlah,” a ti uh.
But the entire crowd exclaimed together, saying: “Take this one, and release to us Barabbas!”
19 Barabbas tah khopuei ah olpungnah bet a om vaengah ngawnnah a saii dongah thongim khuila a hlak uh.
Now he had been cast into prison because of a certain sedition that occurred in the city and for murder.
20 Jesuh te hlah a ngaih dongah Pilat loh amih te koep a khue.
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus.
21 Tedae amih loh a o uh tih, “Anih te tai laeh, tai laeh,” a ti uh.
But they shouted in response, saying: “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 Tedae Pilat loh amih te, “He loh boethae balae a saii tih, dueknah ham koila anih soah a lolh ka hmuh moenih. Anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah tangloeng eh,” voeithum a ti nah.
Then he said to them a third time: “Why? What evil has he done? I find no case against him for death. Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”
23 Tedae a lalh uh coeng dongah Jesuh tai ham te ol ue la a hoe uh tih amih ol loh boeih a khumla uh.
But they persisted, with loud voices, in demanding that he be crucified. And their voices increased in intensity.
24 Pilat long khaw amih kah bihhoenah te rhoirhi ham ko a tam.
And so Pilate issued a judgment granting their petition.
25 Te dongah a hoe uh vanbangla olpungnah neh ngawnnah dongah thongim khuila a det tangtae te a hlah. Tedae Jesuh te amih kongaih bangla a voeih pah.
Then he released for them the one who had been cast into prison for murder and sedition, whom they were requesting. Yet truly, Jesus he handed over to their will.
26 Anih te a khuen uh vaengah Kurena Simon te lohma lamkah ha pawk hatah a tuuk uh tih Jesuh hnukah koh pah ham thinglam te a tloeng pa uh.
And as they were leading him away, they apprehended a certain one, Simon of Cyrene, as he was returning from the countryside. And they imposed the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
27 Te vaengah anih te pilnam rheangpuei neh anih aka rhaengsae tih aka hlai huta rhoek loh muep a vai uh.
Then a great crowd of people followed him, with women who were mourning and lamenting him.
28 Amih te Jesuh loh a mael thil tih, “Jerusalem nu rhoek, kai hamla rhap uh boeh. Namamih ham neh na ca rhoek ham mah rhap uh.
But Jesus, turning to them, said: “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me. Instead, weep over yourselves and over your children.
29 ‘Cayaa, camoe aka cun pawh bung, aka khut pawh rhang suk loh a yoethen,’ a ti uh tue tah ha pawk coeng he.
For behold, the days will arrive in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed.’
30 Te vaengah tlang taengah, ‘Kaimih n'tim thil laeh,’ mol taengah khaw, ‘Kaimih m'vuei laeh,’ pahoi a ti uh ni.
Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall over us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’
31 Thing te a thingsup pataeng te tlam te a saii uh atah a koh vaengah metlam a om eh?” a ti nah.
For if they do these things with green wood, what will be done with the dry?”
32 A tloe laihmuh panit te khaw anih taengah ngawn ham a khuen uh.
Now they also led out two other criminals with him, in order to execute them.
33 Lurhuh a ti uh hmuen te a pha uh vaengah Jesuh neh laihmuh rhoi te pahoi a tai uh. Laihmu rhoi khuiah pakhat te bantang ben ah pakhat banvoei ben ah a tai uh.
And when they arrived at the place that is called Calvary, they crucified him there, with the robbers, one to the right and the other to the left.
34 Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “A pa, amih he tholh hlah mai, a saii uh he khaw a ming uh moenih,” a ti. Te phoeiah a himbai te a phen uh tih hmulung a naan thil uh.
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do.” And truly, dividing his garments, they cast lots.
35 Te vaengah pilnam loh pai tih a sawt. Boei rhoek long khaw a nueih thil tih, “Hlang tloe aka khang te amah khaw khang uh saeh. Anih he Pathen kah a coelh Khrih la a om atah,” a ti uh.
And people were standing near, watching. And the leaders among them derided him, saying: “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this one is the Christ, the elect of God.”
36 Anih te rhalkap rhoek long khaw a tamdaeng uh tih a paan uh.
And the soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching him and offering him vinegar,
37 Anih te yuthui a paek uh tih, “Nang he Judah rhoek kah manghai la na om atah namah khang uh saw,” a ti nah.
and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
38 A sokah a ming khaw, ‘Judah rhoek kah manghai tah anih ni’ tila a om pah.
Now there was also an inscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: This is the king of the Jews.
39 Te vaengah laihmu rhoi a hoei uh khuikah pakhat loh anih te a soehsal tih, “Nang he Khrih la na om mahnim? Namah khaw kaimih rhoi khaw ng'khang lah,” a ti nah.
And one of those robbers who were hanging blasphemed him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.”
40 Tedae pakhat loh anih te a doo tih a ho. Te vaengah, “Nang tah Pathen ke na rhih moenih a? Laitloeknah khuiah na om boeiloeih dae.
But the other responded by rebuking him, saying: “Do you have no fear of God, since you are under the same condemnation?
41 Mamih rhoi ngawn tah mah khoboe te n'yook tueng tih tiktam coeng. Tedae anih tah a halang la a saii moenih,” a ti nah.
And indeed, it is just for us. For we are receiving what our deeds deserve. But truly, this one has done nothing wrong.”
42 Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Na ram khuiah na pawk vaengah kai m'poek ne,” a ti nah.
And he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
43 Te dongah anih te, “Namah taengah rhep kan thui, tihnin ah paradai ah kai taengah na om pawn ni,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with me in Paradise.”
44 Khonoek parhuk tluk a pha vaengah diklai pum ah yinnah loh a thing tih khonoek pako hil Khomik khaw hmuep.
Now it was nearly the sixth hour, and a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.
45 Te vaengah bawkim kah hniyan loh phak phin uh.
And the sun was obscured. And the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46 Jesuh tah ol ue la pang tih, “A pa, na kut dongah ka mueihla kan paek,” a ti nah. Te a thui neh pahoi pat.
And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” And upon saying this, he expired.
47 Aka om hno te rhalboei loh a hmuh vaengah Pathen te a thangpom tih, “Hekah hlang tah hlang dueng la om taktak,” a ti.
Now, the centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God, saying, “Truly, this man was the Just One.”
48 A miklaw kah hlangping aka taai uh boeih loh aka om hno te a hmuh uh vaengah a lungkoe te a tum uh tih bal uh.
And the entire crowd of those who came together to see this spectacle also saw what had happened, and they returned, striking their breasts.
49 Te vaengah khohla lamkah a huiko khaw boeih ha pai uh. Galilee lamloh a taengah aka bang huta rhoek long khaw a hmuh uh.
Now all those who knew him, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance, watching these things.
50 Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph tah khoboei la tapkhoeh om. Anih tah hlang then neh hlang dueng la om.
And behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a councilman, a good and just man,
51 Anih tah Judah khopuei pakhat Arimathea lamkah tih amih kah mangtaengnah neh khoboe dongah tlangnaem tlangphai la om pawh. Anih long tah Pathen kah ram ni a lamtawn.
(for he had not consented to their decision or their actions). He was from Arimathea, a city of Judea. And he was himself also anticipating the kingdom of God.
52 Te long te Pilat a paan tih Jesuh kah rhok te a bih.
This man approached Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus.
53 Rhok te a hlak tih himbai neh a yen. Te phoeiah rhok te phuel lung khuiah a khueh. Tekah phuel ah aka yalh om hlan.
And taking him down, he wrapped him in a fine linen cloth, and he placed him in a tomb hewn from rock, in which no one had ever been placed.
54 Tedae khohnin tah rhuengphong la om tih Sabbath tom coeng.
And it was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 Te vaengah huta rhoek loh a hloem uh. Amih tah Galilee lamkah loh Jesuh aka puei la om uh tih phuel neh a rhok metla a khueh te a hmuh uh.
Now the women who had come with him from Galilee, by following, saw the tomb and the manner in which his body was placed.
56 A bal uh vaengah bo-ul neh botui te a hmoel uh. Tedae Sabbath vaengah tah olpaek vanbangla duem uh.
And upon returning, they prepared aromatic spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the commandment.
