Luka 23
1 Amih te rhaengpuei la huek pai uh tih Jesuh te Pilat taengla a khuen uh.
Then the whole assembly arose and led Jesus 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.
They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, declaring himself to be Christ, a 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.
So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself.”
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 chief priests and the crowd, “I find no fault in 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 kept insisting, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
6 Pilat loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah hlang tah Galilee hoel la om maco,” a ti.
When Pilate heard mention of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
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 found out that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in 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.
When Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard many things about him and was hoping to see him perform some sign.
9 Te dongah Jesuh te ol muep a dawt. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo moenih.
So he questioned him at great length, but Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Te vaengah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek loh pai uh tih Jesuh te rhaprhap a paelnaeh uh.
Meanwhile, the chief priests and the scribes stood there, vehemently 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.
Herod also treated him with contempt and mocked him, as did his soldiers. Then, after dressing Jesus in fine clothing, Herod 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.
That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with one another; previously they had been enemies.
13 Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek, boei rhoek neh pilnam te a hueh tih,
Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, 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.
and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And behold, after examining him before you, I have found no fault in this man with respect to the accusations you are making against 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 has Herod, for I sent you to him. Clearly he has done nothing that deserves death.
16 Te dongah anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah eh,” a ti nah.
Therefore I will have him flogged and then release him.”
17 Khotue ah amih ham hlang pakhat tah a loeih sak ham manghkhak la a kuek.
Now each year at the feast Pilate was obligated to release one prisoner for the people.
18 Tedae huek pang uh tih, “Anih he khuen laeh, Barabbas mah kaimih ham han hlah,” a ti uh.
So they all cried out together, “Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!”
19 Barabbas tah khopuei ah olpungnah bet a om vaengah ngawnnah a saii dongah thongim khuila a hlak uh.
(This was a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection that had taken place in the city, and for murder.)
20 Jesuh te hlah a ngaih dongah Pilat loh amih te koep a khue.
Wishing to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
21 Tedae amih loh a o uh tih, “Anih te tai laeh, tai laeh,” a ti uh.
but they kept on shouting, “Crucify, 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.
A third time he said to them, “Why? What evil has he done? I have found in him no grounds for death. So I will have him flogged and then 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 continued insistently with loud voices, demanding that he be crucified, and their voices prevailed, along with those of the chief priests.
24 Pilat long khaw amih kah bihhoenah te rhoirhi ham ko a tam.
So Pilate rendered his decision that their demand be granted.
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.
He released the man they had been asking for, who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he handed Jesus 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.
As the soldiers led him away, they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenian man who was coming in from the countryside, and they laid on him the cross, forcing him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 Te vaengah anih te pilnam rheangpuei neh anih aka rhaengsae tih aka hlai huta rhoek loh muep a vai uh.
A great multitude of people followed along behind, including women who were mourning and lamenting for Jesus.
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 turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for 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 are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that have not given birth, 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 on 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 when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 A tloe laihmuh panit te khaw anih taengah ngawn ham a khuen uh.
Now two others, who were criminals, were also being led away to be put to death with Jesus.
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.
When they came to the place called the Skull, the soldiers crucified him there along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his 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.
But Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Then they cast lots to divide his garments.
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.
The people stood there looking on, and the rulers who were with them ridiculed him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ, the Chosen One of God.”
36 Anih te rhalkap rhoek long khaw a tamdaeng uh tih a paan uh.
The soldiers also mocked him, coming up to him and offering him sour wine,
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.
saying, “If yoʋ are the king of the Jews, save yoʋrself!”
38 A sokah a ming khaw, ‘Judah rhoek kah manghai tah anih ni’ tila a om pah.
There was also an inscription over him written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, which read: “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.
One of the criminals who was hanging there reviled him, saying, “If yoʋ are the Christ, save yoʋrself 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 rebuked him, saying, “Do yoʋ not even fear God, seeing that yoʋ 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.
The two of us are justly condemned, for we are receiving the appropriate punishment for the things we have done, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Na ram khuiah na pawk vaengah kai m'poek ne,” a ti nah.
Then he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Lord, when yoʋ come in yoʋr kingdom.”
43 Te dongah anih te, “Namah taengah rhep kan thui, tihnin ah paradai ah kai taengah na om pawn ni,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to yoʋ, today yoʋ will 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 about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
45 Te vaengah bawkim kah hniyan loh phak phin uh.
The sun was darkened, 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.
Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Father, into yoʋr hands I commit my spirit.” After saying this, he breathed his last breath.
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 when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God and said, “Surely this man was righteous.”
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 when all the crowds who had gathered together for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating 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.
But all those who knew Jesus stood at a distance watching these things, including the women who had followed him from Galilee.
50 Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph tah khoboei la tapkhoeh om. Anih tah hlang then neh hlang dueng la om.
Now there was a good and righteous man named Joseph, who was a member of the council
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.
but had not consented to their decision and action. He was from Arimathea, a town of the Jews, and was himself also waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 Te long te Pilat a paan tih Jesuh kah rhok te a bih.
He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
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.
Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb hewn in a rock, where no one had ever been laid.
54 Tedae khohnin tah rhuengphong la om tih Sabbath tom coeng.
It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was approaching.
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.
The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed along behind and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.
56 A bal uh vaengah bo-ul neh botui te a hmoel uh. Tedae Sabbath vaengah tah olpaek vanbangla duem uh.
Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. But they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
