Luka 23
1 Amih te rhaengpuei la huek pai uh tih Jesuh te Pilat taengla a khuen uh.
And the assembly broke up, and conducted 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 a paa sak tih amah te, 'Khrih manghai ni,’ a ti khaw ka hmuh,” a ti uh.
and they accused him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, calling himself Messiah the King.
3 Te phoeiah Pilat loh a dawt tih, “Nang he Judah manghaila na om a?” a ti nah. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Nang long ni na ti,” a ti nah.
Then Pilate, asking him, said, You are the King of the Jews? He answered, You say right.
4 Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek neh hlangping rhoek te, “Hekah hlang soah a lolh ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, I find nothing criminal 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 became more vehement, adding, He raised sedition among the people, by the doctrine which he spread through all Judea, from Galilee, where he began, to this place.
6 Pilat loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah hlang tah Galilee hoel la om maco, “a ti.
When Pilate heard them mention Galilee, he asked, whether the man were 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 finding that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also then at Jerusalem.
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.
And Herod was very glad to see Jesus: it was what he had long desired; having heard much of him, and hoping to see him perform some miracle.
9 Te dongah Jesuh te ol muep a dawt. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo moenih.
He, therefore, asked him many questions, but Jesus returned him no answer.
10 Te vaengah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek loh pai uh tih Jesuh te rhaprhap a paelnaeh uh.
Yet the chief priests and the scribes, who were present, accused him with eagerness.
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.
But Herod and his military train despised him: and having, in derision, arrayed him in a splendid robe, remanded him to Pilate.
12 Te khohnin kuelhuelh ah Herod neh Pilat loh khatneh khat paya la coeng rhoi. A noek ah amih rhoi te thunkha la om rhoi dae ta.
On that day, Pilate and Herod became friends; for, before, they had been at enmity.
13 Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek, boei rhoek neh pilnam te a hueh tih,
Pilate, having convened the chief priests, 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 this man before me, as one who excites the people to revolt; yet, having examined him in your presence, I have not found him guilt of any of those crimes of 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.
Neither has Herod; for I referred you to him. Be assured, then, that he has done nothing to deserve death.
16 Te dongah anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah eh?,” a ti nah.
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 Khotue ah amih ham hlang pakhat tah a loeih sak ham mangkhak la a kuek.
For it was necessary that he should release one to them at the festival.
18 Tedae huek pang uh tih, “Anih he khuen laeh, Barabbas mah kaimih ham han hlah,” a ti uh.
Then all cried out together, Away with this man, 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 Barabbas had been imprisoned for raising sedition in the city, and for murder.
20 Jesuh te hlah a ngaih dongah Pilat loh amih te koep a khue.
Pilate, willing to release Jesus, again, expostulated.
21 Tedae amih loh a o uh tih, “Anih te tai laeh, tai laeh,” a ti uh.
But they cried, saying, 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 repeated, Why? What evil has this man done? I do not find him guilty of any capital crime; I will therefore 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, demanding, with much clamor, that he might be crucified. At last, their clamors, and those of the chief priests, prevailed:
24 Pilat long khaw amih kah bihhoenah te rhoirhi ham ko a tam.
and Pilate pronounced sentence, that it should be as they desired.
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.
Accordingly, he released a man who had been imprisoned for sedition and murder; whom they required; and gave up Jesus 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 pauh.
As they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 Te vaengah anih te pilnam rheangpuei neh anih aka rhaengsae tih aka hlai huta rhoek loh muep a vai uh.
And a great multitude followed him, amongst whom were many women, who lamented and bewailed him.
28 Amih te Jesuh loh a mael thil tih, “Jerulalem 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, weep not 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 the days are coming, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, the wombs which never bare, and the breasts which never gave suck!
30 Te vaengah tlang taengah kaimih n'tim thil laeh, mol taengah khaw kaimih m'vuei laeh, “pahoi a ti uh ni.
Then they shall cry 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 it fare thus with the green tree, how shall it fare with the dry?
32 A tloe laihmuh panit te khaw anih taengah ngawn ham a khuen uh.
And two malefactors were also led with him to execution.
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 taiuh.
When they came to the place called Calvary, they there nailed him to a cross, and the malefactors also; one at his right hand, the other at 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 thiluh.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted his garments by lot.
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.
While the people stood gazing, even their rulers joined them in ridiculing him, and saying, This man saved others; let him save himself, if he be the Messiah, the elect of God.
36 Anih te rhalkap rhoek long khaw a tamdaeng uh tih a paan uh.
The soldiers likewise mocked him, coming 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 be the King of the Jews, save yourself.
38 “A sokah a ming khaw, “Judah rhoek kah manghai tah anih ni, “tila a om pah.
There was also an inscription over his head in Greek, 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.
Now, one of the malefactors who suffered with him, reviled him, saying, If you be the Messiah, 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.
The other, rebuking him, answered, Have you no fear of God, you who are undergoing the same punishment?
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 we, indeed, justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.
42 Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Na ram khuiah na pawk vaengah kai m'poek ne,” a ti nah.
And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest to thy 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 answered, Indeed, I say to you, To-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.
And, about the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land, which lasted till the ninth.
45 Te vaengah bawkim kah hniyan loh phak phin uh.
The sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst.
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 said with a loud voice, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit; and having thus said, 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.
Then, the centurion, observing what had happened, gave glory to God; saying, Assuredly, this was a righteous man.
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.
Nay, all the people who were present at this spectacle, and saw what had passed, returned, 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.
And all his acquaintance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, standing at a distance, beheld 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.
Now, there was a senator, named Joseph, 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.
from Arimathea, a city of Judea, who had not concurred in the resolutions and proceedings of the rest; and who himself, also expected the Reign of God.
52 Te long te Pilat a paan tih Jesuh kah rhok te a bih.
This man went to Pilate, and begged 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 having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb cut in stone, in which no man had ever been deposited.
54 Tedae khohnin tah rhuengphong la om tih Sabbath tom coeng.
Now that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath approached.
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.
And the women, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, and observed the tomb, and how the body was laid.
56 A bal uh vaengah bo-ul neh botui te a hmoel uh. Tedae Sabbath vaengah tah olpaek vanbangla duem uh.
When they returned, they provided spices and ointments, and then rested the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
