Luke 23
1 Cekcoengawh cawh ak awm thlang kqeng ce tho unawh Jesu ce Pilat a venna cehpyi uhy.
And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.
2 Amah ce thawlh puk uhy, “Ve ak thlang ing pilnam hqeh sak nawh, Kaisar a venawh mangmu ama peek aham kqawn nawh amah ingkaw amah Khrih Sangpahrang tinawh kqawn qu hy,” tina uhy.
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.
3 Cedawngawh Pilat ing Jesu ce doet hy, “Nang ve Judakhqi a Sangpahrang aw? tina hy. Jesu ing, “Nak kqawn amyihna awm nyng,” tina hy.
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.
4 Cekcoengawh Pilat ing khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw thlang kqeng a venawh, “Ve ak thlang a thawlhnaak am hu nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.
5 Cehlai cekkhqi ing, “Galilee awhkawng kqan nawh, ve hun dy, Judah khaw boeih awh cawngpyinawh thlang kqeng sak boeih hy,” tina uhy.
But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.
6 Ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh, Pilat ing anih ce Kalili thlang na a awm ama awm doet hy.
But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.
7 Jesu ce Herod uknaak khuiawh kaw thlang ni tice a sim awh, anih ce Herod a venna tyi hy, Herod awm Jerusalem khaw awh awm hy.
And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.
8 Herod ing Jesu ce a huh awh, zeel soeih hy, anih ce huh aham lamtoen khing hawh hy. Anih akawng ang zaaknaak awh, kawpoek kyi them a sai ce huh aham ngaih hy.
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 Anih ing awi khawzah doet hy, cehlai Jesu ing khangoet awm am hlat hy.
And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10 Khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi qeekungkhqi cawh dyi unawh, thawlh buk uhy.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Cawh Herod ingkaw a qalkapkhqi ing Jesu ce the a kha na unawh qaih am qin na uhy. Hi ak leek soeih soeih bai sak unawh Pilat a venna tyi tlaih uhy.
And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.
12 Ce a nyn awhtaw Herod ingkaw Pilat ce qoep hy nih, ce hlan awhtaw cekqawi ce qaal na awm hy nih.
And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 Pilat ing khawsoeih boeikhqi, ukkungkhqi ingkaw pilnam boeih ce khy nawh,
And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 Ve ak thlang ing 'Pilnam hqeh sak hy,' ti unawh ka venna law pyi uhyk ti. Nami haiawh awi deng hawh hlai nyng. Nangmih ing thawlh namik puk amyihna kawmyih a thawlhnaak awm am hu nyng;
and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
15 Herod ingawm a thawlhnaak am hu hy; cedawngawh venna tyi law tlaih hy, nangmih ing nami huh amyihna, thihnaak dy awh ikawmyih a thawlhnaak awm am sai hy.
no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.
16 Cedawngawh vyk nyng seitaw hlah mai vang nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 Poei ak khuiawh cekkhqi aham thlang pynoet oet hlah pek aham awm hy.
18 Cawh, Ve ak thlang ve him! Barabbas ce hlah law! Tinawh khy uhy.
But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: —
19 (Barabbas taw khawk bau awh qaal na tho nawh thlang a him dawngawh thawngim awh thla uhy.)
one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.
20 Pilat ing Jesu ce hlah aham a ngaih awh cekkhqi venna awi kqawn tlaih hy.
And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;
21 Cehlai a mingmih ing, “Thinglam awh tai, thinglam awh tai,” tinawh khy uhy.
but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
22 Am thumnaak awh a mingmih ce: “Ikawtih ikaw thawlhnaak nu ve ak thlang ing a sai? A thih ham kawi ikaw thawlhnaak ak khan awh am hu nyng. Cedawngawh vyk nyng seitaw hlah mai vang nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.
23 Cehlai anih ce thinglam awh tai aham khawteh khqoet na khy unawh, amik khy awi ing amingmih ce khuk malh hy.
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
24 Cedawngawh Pilat ing ami thoehnaak ce qawi pekkhqi hy.
And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.
25 A mingmih ing hlah aham ami thoeh, qaal na tho nawh thlang a him dawngawh thawngim awh a mik thlak Barabbas ce hlah pek khqi nawh, Jesu cetaw a mimah ak kawngaih na sai aham a mingmih a venawh pekkhqi hy.
And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
26 Anih ce cehpyi uhy, lamlak awh kqawng nakaw ak law Cyqene khaw awhkaw Simon ce tu unawh Jesu a hu awh thinglam tung ce kawh sak uhy.
And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.
27 Thlang khawzah ing a hu awh hquut uhy, ak kqung ak kqap nukhqi awm bat lawt uhy.
And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.
28 Jesu ing a mingmih a ven benna mang nawh, “Jerusalem canukhqi, kai aham koeh kqang uh, na mimah ingkaw nami cakhqi ham kqang law uh.
But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Nangmih ing, ‘Nu cak kaa khqi, pumqih amak sim khawikhqi ingkaw a suk naaca amak awk sak khawi nukhqi taw a mi zoseen hy! Nami tinaak a khawnghi ce pha law kaw.
For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30 Cawh, A mingmih ing tlangkhqi venawh, 'Kaimih ve nik et khqi lah!' ti kawm usaw, cungkhqi venawh, 'Kaimih ve ni hlip khqi lah!” tina kawm uh.’
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 Thlang ing thinghqing za vemyih na ami sai awhtaw thingkoh ak khqoet taw ikawmyihna nu ami sai kaw?” tinak khqi hy.
For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Ak chang thlak thawlh qawi pakkhih awm thinglam awh tai aham anih ing kutoet na cehpyi uhy.
And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 Luquh ami ti hun ce ami pha awh, anih ce thinglam awh tai uhy, thlakthawlh qawi awm – pynoet ce tang benawh, pynoet ce cawngben awh tai uhy.
And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
34 Jesu ing, “Kapa, a mingmih ak khan awh qeenkhaw ngai lah, ikaw kami sai ti am sim unawh ni,” tina hy. A hi ce taicung zyk unawh tei uhy.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.
35 Thlangkhqi ing dyi unawh toek uhy, cawh ukkungkhqi ing qaih na uhy. “Thlakchang taw a hul bai, Khawsa ak tyh Khrih na a awm awhtaw amah ingkaw amah hul qu lah seh,” tina uhy.
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.
36 Qalkapkhqi awm law unawh the a kha na uhy. Misur tui ak thui ce pe uhy,
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,
37 “Juda Sangpahrang na awm awhtaw namah ingkaw namah hul qu lah thaw voeih ti,” tina uhy.
and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 “VETAW JUDA KHRIH SANGPAHRANG NI,” tinawh a sawawh ca tai pe uhy.
And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Cawhkaw ami tai thlak thawlh pynoet ingawm anih ce kaa na hy, “Nang ve Khrih am aw? Namah ingkaw namah hul qu nawhtaw kainih awm ni hul qawi lah thoeih ti,” tina hy.
And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.
40 Cehlai thlak thawlh pynoet ingtaw anih ce hlat nawh, “Khawsa awm am nak kqih nawh nu? Nang ing anih ingqawi ang amyihna awidengnaak na huh ve?
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 Ningnih taw awideng kawina nik awm qoe ni; ni sai phu ni zawk qoe ni; cehlai ve ak thlang ingtaw ikawmyih a thawlhnaak awm am sai hy,” tina hy.
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 Cekcoengawh anih ing, “Jesu, na qam na pha awh kai koeh nim hilh law moe,” tina hy.
And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Jesu ing avenawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek, tuhngawi awh paradise awh kavenawh awm lawt kawp ti,” tina hy.
And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 Khawnoek kquk tluk a law awh, khawmdek pum boeih thannaak ing ziing khoep nawh khawnoek ko dy khawthan khoep hy.
And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,
45 khawkdai qeng nawh; cawh Bawkim awhkaw hizan ce pakkhih na teek hy.
the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Cawh Jesu ing khawteh na, “Kapa, na kut awh kang Myihla ni pe nyng,” tina hy. Ceamyihna ak kqawn coeng kqoeng awh ang hqi qu zip hy.
And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.
47 Qalkap zakhat ak ukkung ing cawhkaw a kawnglam ce a huh awh, Khawsa ce kyihcah nawh, “Ve ak thlang ve thlakdyng pai ni,” tihy.
And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
48 Cawhkaw ik-oeih ak toekna ak cun law thlangkhqi ing ce a kawnglam ce ami huh awh amik kqang pung unawh voei uhy.
And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.
49 Cehlai amah ak simkhqi boeih ingkaw, Kalili awhkawng a hu awh a mik bat law nukhqi ing ak hla na dyi unawh, cawhkaw ce dan uhy.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.
50 Awi tlykkung pynoet, Joseph ak mingnaak thlak leek ingkaw thlak dyng pynoet ce awm hy.
And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

52 Pilat a venna cet nawh, Jesu a qawk ce thoeh hy,
this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 Cekcoengawh qawk ce lo nawh, hi ing a zawl coengawh u awm amak pupnaak hlan phyilung ak khuiawh ce soei hy.
And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.
54 Ce nyn taw Coekqoek Nyn na awm nawh, Sabbath kqan tawmca hawh uhy.
And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 Jesu ing Kalili awhkawng amik law haih nukhqi ce Joseph a hu awh bat unawh phyi ingkaw qawk ce ikawmyihna ami soei tice hu uhy.
And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
