Luke 23
1 And the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate.
Acunüng ngbumki he ami van tho law u lü Jesuh Pilata veia cehpüi u lü,
2 And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.
“Hin naw, kami khyang he lam jah hma saki, kei Mesijah, sangpuxang ni ti lü Ketah sangpuxanga veia akhawn ä ngcawn vai ti se, kami ngjak,” tia ami mawm.
3 And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.
Pilat naw, “Judah hea sangpuxanga na kyaki aw?” ti lü kthäh se, Jesuh naw, “Ä, na pyena kba kya veng,” ti lü a msang.
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man.
Acunüng Pilat naw ktaiyü ngvai he la khyang hea veia, “Hina khyanga khana mkhuimkhanak vai ia mkatnak am hmu veng,” a ti.
5 But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
Cunsepi amimi naw “Kalile khaw üng tün lü, ahi düta Judah khaw avan üng jah mthei hü lü khyang avan jah kpyükpyeh hü bäihki,” tia, aksehlena ami pyen.
6 But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?
Pilat naw ngja lü “Hina khyang hin Kalile khyang aw?” ti lü a jah kthäh.
7 And when he understood that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem, in those days.
Pilat naw Heroda uknaka khaw üngka ti a ksing üng Heroda veia a tüih be. Acunüng, Herod cun Jerusalema awmki.
8 And Herod, seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.
Herod naw Jesuh a hmu üng aktäa jekyaiki; isetiakyaküng a mawngma ngja lü ajandea a hmuh vai a ngaih, müncankse he a jah bilaw iyaw bawi ta a hmuh vai a büa phäha kyaki.
9 And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing.
Ngthu khawjah a kthäh; cunsepi Jesuh naw i am pi am msang be.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him.
Acunüng ktaiyü ngvai he la thum ksing he naw ngdüi u lü aktäa a mi mkatei.
11 And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.
Herod la a yekap he naw Jesuh hmumsit u lü yaiha pawh u lü jinu akyäp cang suisaki he naw Pilata veia ami tüih be.
12 And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.
Acuna mhmüp üng Pilat la Herod ngpüi kyu naki xawi. Ajana ani püi ana hneng khawiki xawi.
13 And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
Pilat naw ktaiyü ngvai he, angvai he la khyang he avan jah khü lü,
14 Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.
“Khyang he lam jah hma saki ti u lü hin ka veia nami lawpüia kyaki; teng u, nami ma a katnak sui ni se nami mkata kba hina khana i a katnak am hmu veng;
15 No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
Herod naw pi a katnak cang am hmu naw, a veia ka tüih päng; teng u, thihnak sen vaia i am pawh ve.
16 I will chastise him therefore, and release him.
“Acunakyase, kpai lü khyah be vang,” a ti.
17 Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.
Buhpawh pawi üng khyang mat jah mhlät pet khawia thum awmki.
18 But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
Ami van atänga ngpyang u lü, “Hin hin hnim lü, Barabah jah mhlät pea,” ami ti.
19 Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison.
Barabah cun mlüh k’uma ksuksaknak pawh lü khyang a hnima phäha thawngima khyuma kyaki.
20 And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.
Pilat naw Jesuh a mhlät vai ngaih lü a jah kthäh be.
21 But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, crucify him.
Cunsepi ngpyang u lü, “Kutlamktung üng taiha, Kutlamktung üng taiha,” ami ti.
22 And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go.
Pilat naw akthumnaka, “Ise ni? Hin naw ia katnak ni a pawh ve? Thihnak sen vai a khana i am hmu veng; acunakyase kpai lü khyah be vang,” a ti.
23 But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices prevailed.
Cunsepi amimi naw angsang yea kutlamktung üng taih vaia amthuia mso u se, acunüng ami ngpyangnak am Pilat ami näng.
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
Acuna Pilat naw ami msoa kba Jesuh pawh vaia ngthu a jah pet.
25 And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
Suksaknak pawh lü khyang a hnima phäha thawngim üng kyumki ami kthäh jah khyah pe lü; Jesuh cun ami ngaih ngaiha ami pawh vaia a jah pet.
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
Jesuh ami cehpüi k'um üng, Karenih khaw üngka Sihmon naki ngnamca üngka naw lawki ami hmu üng, man u lü Jesuha hnua kutlamktung ami kawh sak.
27 And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.
A hnua läki hea khyang khawjah üng Jesuh kyahki hea nghnumi avang awmki he.
28 But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Acun he Jesuh naw jah nghlat si lü, “Jerusalema canu he aw, kei am na kyah u lü nami mäta phäh la nami ca hea phäha kyap ua.
29 For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck.
“Isetiakyaküng, ‘cingkia nghnumi ta a jo sen ve, na am pawinakia pum la na naw am a awk khawia cih ta a jo sen ve’ ami tinaka mhmüp pha law khai.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us; and to the hills: Cover us.
“Acunüng khawmcunga veia, ‘Jah sip lawa,’ khawngjung khawkawngea veia, ‘Jah mük lawa’ ti law khai he,
31 For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?
“Thing xünga veia pi hinkba ami ti üng akhyawnga veia ta ikba kya khai aw?” a ti.
32 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.
Acunüng a veia khyangka nghngih ami jah hnim vaia ami jah cehpüi hnga.
33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there; and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Acunüng luyuh hmün ami tinak ami pha law üng acuia a kpat lama mat, a k'eng lama mat, khyangka xawi am kutlamktung üng ami taih.
34 And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.
Jesuh naw, “Ka Pa aw, jah mhläta; i ami pawh am ksing hei ve u,” a ti. Acunüng, a suisak he cung kphawng u lü ami jah ngpaiei.
35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God.
Khyang he naw ngdüi u lü ami tengei. Angvai he naw, “Khyang kce ta jah küikyan khawiki; Pamhnama a xü Mesijah kcang a ni üng amät pi ngküikyanei kyu se,” tia ami ksenak.
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
Yekap he naw pi yaiha ami pawh a veia capyit jukthui lawpüi u lü, peki he naw,
37 And saying: If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
“Judah hea sangpuxanga na kya kcang üng, namät la namät ngküikyanei kyua,” ami ti.
38 And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Acunüng a lu khana, “Hin hin, Judah hea sangpuxang ni,” tia ami taih.
39 And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Acunüng, khyangka mat, a peia ami taih naw pi, kse na lü, “Nang Mesijaha na kya üng, namät ngküikyanei kyu lü, keini pi jah küikyan lawa,” a ti.
40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?
Cunsepi, akce mat naw a jüinak am msang lü, “Mhnam ye pi am na kyühki aw? Atänga mkhuimkhanak mi khamei hmaih ye se,
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil.
ningni cun ni khamei kung khaia ni kyaki; ni katnaka phu däng ni hlawheiki ni; hin naw ia katnak am pawh naw,” a ti.
42 And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
“Jesuh aw, Sangpuxanga na law üng na sümeia,” a ti.
43 And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Tuhngawi Paradaia ka hlawnga na ve khaia ning khyütam na veng,” a ti.
44 And it was almost the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Acun cun mhmüp naji xaleinghngiha kya lü, mülam naji kthum cäpa nghngi am vai lü avan üng khaw nghmüp lawki.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
Acunüng Temple üng jihnu, anglung üng nghngiha tek lawki.
46 And Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw angsanga, “Ka Pa aw, na kut üng ka ngmüimkhya ning pe veng,” a ti. Acun ti lü thiki.
47 Now the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.
Acunüng, yekap ngvai naw acun a hmuh üng, “Hin hin akcanga khyang ngsungpyuna kya ve,” ti lü, Pamhnam mküimtoki.
48 And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned striking their breasts.
Khyang avan acun tengei khaia lawki he, acuna awm ihe ami jah hmu üng ami mkyang kbei u lü puksetnak am cit beki he.
49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
Acunüng, Kalile khaw üngka naw läk lawkia nghnumi he la Jesuh ksingki he avan, acun teng u lü, athuknaka ngdüiki he.
50 And behold there was a man named Joseph, who was a counsellor, a good and just man,
Acunüng khyang mat Josep naki ngvainu, ngsungpyun lü dawki awmki.
51 (The same had not consented to their counsel and doings; ) of Arimathea, a city of Judea; who also himself looked for the kingdom of God.
Ani cun Kawngci member kya lü pi ami pawhmsah ami bilawh he am jah ngaisimkia kyaki. Judah khaw, Arimahte khyanga kya lü, Pamhnama khaw a na ngak’uhei khawiki,
52 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Pilata veia cit lü Jesuha yawk a kthäh.
53 And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid.
Jesuha yawk khya lü jih am hlawpki naw, u pi am ami k'uhnak khawia, ng’uhnün üng a k'uh.
54 And it was the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on.
Acunüng, acuna mhmüp cun kyawngkai amhmanaka kya lü Sabbath mhmüp pha law hlüki.
55 And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
Acunüng, Kalile khawa Jesuh läki nghnumi he cun Josep am atänga cit u lü, ng’uhnün la acunüng ikba Jesuha yawk ami tak cun tengki he.
56 And returning, they prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath day they rested, according to the commandment.
Acunkäna nghlat be u lü, ng’uinghname la, situie jah pyang u lü thum naw a pyena kba Sabbath mhmüp üng xüieiki he.
