Luke 23
1 Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.
Amih te rhaengpuei la huek pai uh tih Jesuh te Pilat taengla a khuen uh.
2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”
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.
3 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
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.
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek neh hlangping rhoek te, “Hekah hlang soah a lolh ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
Tedae amih loh a mangkhak la, “Pilnam a hueh tih, Galilee lamloh he hil, Judah tom ah pahoi a thuituen,” a ti uh.
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
Pilat loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah hlang tah Galilee hoel la om maco, “a ti.
7 And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.
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.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.
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.
9 Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.
Te dongah Jesuh te ol muep a dawt. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo moenih.
10 Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.
Te vaengah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek loh pai uh tih Jesuh te rhaprhap a paelnaeh uh.
11 And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.
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.
12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
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.
13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek, boei rhoek neh pilnam te a hueh tih,
14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
“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.
15 Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
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.
16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
Te dongah anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah eh?,” a ti nah.
Khotue ah amih ham hlang pakhat tah a loeih sak ham mangkhak la a kuek.
18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
Tedae huek pang uh tih, “Anih he khuen laeh, Barabbas mah kaimih ham han hlah,” a ti uh.
19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
Barabbas tah khopuei ah olpungnah bet a om vaengah ngawnnah a saii dongah thongim khuila a hlak uh.
20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
Jesuh te hlah a ngaih dongah Pilat loh amih te koep a khue.
21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
Tedae amih loh a o uh tih, “Anih te tai laeh, tai laeh,” a ti uh.
22 A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”
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.
23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.
Tedae a lalh uh coeng dongah Jesuh tai ham te ol ue la a hoe uh tih amih ol loh boeih a khumla uh.
24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.
Pilat long khaw amih kah bihhoenah te rhoirhi ham ko a tam.
25 As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.
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.
26 As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.
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.
27 A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
Te vaengah anih te pilnam rheangpuei neh anih aka rhaengsae tih aka hlai huta rhoek loh muep a vai uh.
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
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.
29 Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
“Cayaa, camoe aka cun pawh bung, aka khut pawh rhang suk loh a yoethen,” a ti uh tue tah ha pawk coeng he.
30 At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
Te vaengah tlang taengah kaimih n'tim thil laeh, mol taengah khaw kaimih m'vuei laeh, “pahoi a ti uh ni.
31 For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
Thing te a thingsup pataeng te tlam te a saii uh atah a koh vaengah metlam a om eh?” a ti nah.
32 Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
A tloe laihmuh panit te khaw anih taengah ngawn ham a khuen uh.
33 When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.
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.
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.
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.
35 The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
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.
36 The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.
Anih te rhalkap rhoek long khaw a tamdaeng uh tih a paan uh.
37 “If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”
Anih te yuthui a paek uh tih, “Nang he Judah rhoek kah manghai la na om atah namah khang uh saw,” a ti nah.
38 Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
“A sokah a ming khaw, “Judah rhoek kah manghai tah anih ni, “tila a om pah.
39 One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”
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.
40 But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?
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.
41 We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
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.
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Na ram khuiah na pawk vaengah kai m'poek ne,” a ti nah.
43 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Te dongah anih te, “Namah taengah rhep kan thui, tihnin ah paradai ah kai taengah na om pawn ni,” a ti nah.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
Khonoek parhuk tluk a pha vaengah diklai pum ah yinnah loh a thing tih khonoek pako hil Khomik khaw hmuep.
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
Te vaengah bawkim kah hniyan loh phak phin uh.
46 Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.
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.
47 When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
Aka om hno te rhalboei loh a hmuh vaengah Pathen te a thangpom tih, “Hekah hlang tah hlang dueng la om taktak,” a ti.
48 And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.
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.
49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.
Te vaengah khohla lamkah a huiko khaw boeih ha pai uh. Galilee lamloh a taengah aka bang huta rhoek long khaw a hmuh uh.
50 Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,
Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph tah khoboei la tapkhoeh om. Anih tah hlang then neh hlang dueng la om.
51 who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was waiting for the kingdom of God.
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.
52 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.
Te long te Pilat a paan tih Jesuh kah rhok te a bih.
53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.
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.
54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.
Tedae khohnin tah rhuengphong la om tih Sabbath tom coeng.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
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.
56 Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
A bal uh vaengah bo-ul neh botui te a hmoel uh. Tedae Sabbath vaengah tah olpaek vanbangla duem uh.
