Luke 23
1 Cekcoengawh cawh ak awm thlang kqeng ce tho unawh Jesu ce Pilat a venna cehpyi uhy.
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to 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 the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, 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 [it].
4 Cekcoengawh Pilat ing khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw thlang kqeng a venawh, “Ve ak thlang a thawlhnaak am hu nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
Then said Pilate to the chief priests, and [to] the people, 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.
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 Ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh, Pilat ing anih ce Kalili thlang na a awm ama awm doet hy.
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
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 as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time.
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.
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of 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.
Then he questioned with 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 scribes stood and vehemently accused 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 troops set him at naught, and mocked [him], and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again 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 the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 Pilat ing khawsoeih boeikhqi, ukkungkhqi ingkaw pilnam boeih ce khy nawh,
And Pilate, when he had 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;
Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined [him] before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which 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 I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to 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.
(For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
18 Cawh, Ve ak thlang ve him! Barabbas ce hlah law! Tinawh khy uhy.
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man], and release to us Barabbas:
19 (Barabbas taw khawk bau awh qaal na tho nawh thlang a him dawngawh thawngim awh thla uhy.)
(Who, for a certain sedition 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.
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
21 Cehlai a mingmih ing, “Thinglam awh tai, thinglam awh tai,” tinawh khy uhy.
But they cried, 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 to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let [him] go.
23 Cehlai anih ce thinglam awh tai aham khawteh khqoet na khy unawh, amik khy awi ing amingmih ce khuk malh hy.
And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 Cedawngawh Pilat ing ami thoehnaak ce qawi pekkhqi hy.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
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 to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus 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 as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might 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 company of people, and of women, who also 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 to 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 bore, and the breasts which never nourished infants.
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 a green tree, what will be done in the dry?
32 Ak chang thlak thawlh qawi pakkhih awm thinglam awh tai aham anih ing kutoet na cehpyi uhy.
And two others, [who were] malefactors, were 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 had come to the place which is called Calvary, 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.
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and 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 with them derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ the chosen of God.
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, and 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 a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, 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, who were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou art 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 answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou 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 to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 Jesu ing avenawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek, tuhngawi awh paradise awh kavenawh awm lawt kawp ti,” tina hy.
And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, This 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 about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
45 khawkdai qeng nawh; cawh Bawkim awhkaw hizan ce pakkhih na teek hy.
And the sun was darkened, and the vail 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 when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he expired.
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.
Now 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 people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
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 him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things.
50 Awi tlykkung pynoet, Joseph ak mingnaak thlak leek ingkaw thlak dyng pynoet ce awm hy.
And behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a counselor: [and he was] a good man, and a just:
51 A mingmih ak awitlyhnaak ingkaw them ami sainaak awh anih taw ang haa am tla qoe hy. Judah qam Arimathea khaw awhkawng ak law na awm nawh Khawsa qam ak lamtoenkung na awm hy.
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them) [he was] of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52 Pilat a venna cet nawh, Jesu a qawk ce thoeh hy,
This [man] went to Pilate, and begged 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 linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, in which man was never before laid.
54 Ce nyn taw Coekqoek Nyn na awm nawh, Sabbath kqan tawmca hawh uhy.
And that day was 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 also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
56 Cekcoengawh im na cet unawh bawktui ce qoek a bah uhy. Cehlai anaa awi peek amyihna Sabbath nyn awhtaw dym uhy.
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
