Luke 23
1 And they all went and took him before Pilate.
Cekcoengawh cawh ak awm thlang kqeng ce tho unawh Jesu ce Pilat a venna cehpyi uhy.
2 And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
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.
3 And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.
Cedawngawh Pilat ing Jesu ce doet hy, “Nang ve Judakhqi a Sangpahrang aw? tina hy. Jesu ing, “Nak kqawn amyihna awm nyng,” tina hy.
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.
Cekcoengawh Pilat ing khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw thlang kqeng a venawh, “Ve ak thlang a thawlhnaak am hu nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
5 But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.
Cehlai cekkhqi ing, “Galilee awhkawng kqan nawh, ve hun dy, Judah khaw boeih awh cawngpyinawh thlang kqeng sak boeih hy,” tina uhy.
6 But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?
Ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh, Pilat ing anih ce Kalili thlang na a awm ama awm doet hy.
7 And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.
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.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.
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.
9 And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.
Anih ing awi khawzah doet hy, cehlai Jesu ing khangoet awm am hlat hy.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.
Khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi qeekungkhqi cawh dyi unawh, thawlh buk uhy.
11 And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.
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.
12 And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.
Ce a nyn awhtaw Herod ingkaw Pilat ce qoep hy nih, ce hlan awhtaw cekqawi ce qaal na awm hy nih.
13 And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,
Pilat ing khawsoeih boeikhqi, ukkungkhqi ingkaw pilnam boeih ce khy nawh,
14 You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:
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;
15 And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.
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.
16 And so I will give him punishment and let him go.
Cedawngawh vyk nyng seitaw hlah mai vang nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
Poei ak khuiawh cekkhqi aham thlang pynoet oet hlah pek aham awm hy.
18 But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.
Cawh, Ve ak thlang ve him! Barabbas ce hlah law! Tinawh khy uhy.
19 Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.
(Barabbas taw khawk bau awh qaal na tho nawh thlang a him dawngawh thawngim awh thla uhy.)
20 And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.
Pilat ing Jesu ce hlah aham a ngaih awh cekkhqi venna awi kqawn tlaih hy.
21 But crying out they said, To the cross with him!
Cehlai a mingmih ing, “Thinglam awh tai, thinglam awh tai,” tinawh khy uhy.
22 And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.
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.
23 But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.
Cehlai anih ce thinglam awh tai aham khawteh khqoet na khy unawh, amik khy awi ing amingmih ce khuk malh hy.
24 And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.
Cedawngawh Pilat ing ami thoehnaak ce qawi pekkhqi hy.
25 And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.
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.
26 And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.
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.
27 And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.
Thlang khawzah ing a hu awh hquut uhy, ak kqung ak kqap nukhqi awm bat lawt uhy.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.
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.
29 For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.
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.
30 And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.
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.’
31 For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?
Thlang ing thinghqing za vemyih na ami sai awhtaw thingkoh ak khqoet taw ikawmyihna nu ami sai kaw?” tinak khqi hy.
32 And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.
Ak chang thlak thawlh qawi pakkhih awm thinglam awh tai aham anih ing kutoet na cehpyi uhy.
33 And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.
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.
34 And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.
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.
35 And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.
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.
36 And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,
Qalkapkhqi awm law unawh the a kha na uhy. Misur tui ak thui ce pe uhy,
37 And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.
“Juda Sangpahrang na awm awhtaw namah ingkaw namah hul qu lah thaw voeih ti,” tina uhy.
38 And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
“VETAW JUDA KHRIH SANGPAHRANG NI,” tinawh a sawawh ca tai pe uhy.
39 And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.
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.
40 But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,
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?
41 And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.
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.
42 And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.
Cekcoengawh anih ing, “Jesu, na qam na pha awh kai koeh nim hilh law moe,” tina hy.
43 And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.
Jesu ing avenawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek, tuhngawi awh paradise awh kavenawh awm lawt kawp ti,” tina hy.
44 And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;
Khawnoek kquk tluk a law awh, khawmdek pum boeih thannaak ing ziing khoep nawh khawnoek ko dy khawthan khoep hy.
45 The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.
khawkdai qeng nawh; cawh Bawkim awhkaw hizan ce pakkhih na teek hy.
46 And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.
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.
47 And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.
Qalkap zakhat ak ukkung ing cawhkaw a kawnglam ce a huh awh, Khawsa ce kyihcah nawh, “Ve ak thlang ve thlakdyng pai ni,” tihy.
48 And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.
Cawhkaw ik-oeih ak toekna ak cun law thlangkhqi ing ce a kawnglam ce ami huh awh amik kqang pung unawh voei uhy.
49 And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.
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.
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man
Awi tlykkung pynoet, Joseph ak mingnaak thlak leek ingkaw thlak dyng pynoet ce awm hy.
51 (He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:
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.
52 This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.
Pilat a venna cet nawh, Jesu a qawk ce thoeh hy,
53 And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.
Cekcoengawh qawk ce lo nawh, hi ing a zawl coengawh u awm amak pupnaak hlan phyilung ak khuiawh ce soei hy.
54 Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.
Ce nyn taw Coekqoek Nyn na awm nawh, Sabbath kqan tawmca hawh uhy.
55 And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;
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.
56 And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.
Cekcoengawh im na cet unawh bawktui ce qoek a bah uhy. Cehlai anaa awi peek amyihna Sabbath nyn awhtaw dym uhy.
