John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus [inside and had soldiers] (scourge Jesus/strike Jesus with a whip that had pieces of metal or bone fastened to it).
Cawh Pilat ing Jesu ce khyn nawh vyk hy.
2 The soldiers also took [some branches with] thorns and wove them to make [something like] a crown. Then they put it on his head. They also put a purple robe on him. [They did these things to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Qalkapkhqi ing hling ce lumyk na sai unawh a lu awh myk sak unawh hik thim ce bai sak uhy;
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
cekcoengawh, a venna pan unawh, “Juda sangpahrang na zoseen seh!” tina uhy. A haiawh beei uhy.
4 Once more Pilate came outside and said to the crowd, “Look! I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him [any more].”
Pilat ing Judakhqi venna cet nawh, “Toek lah uh, a thawlhnaak am hu nyng, tice nami simnaak aham nangmih a venawh law pyi tlaih nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
Jesu taw hling lumyk myk nawh hik thim a bai doena cawn law hy. Pilat ing, “Anih ve toek lah uh,” tinak khqi hy.
6 When the chief priests and Temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross! Crucify him!” Pilate, [knowing that they could not legally do it themselves], said to them, “You yourselves take him and nail him to a cross! As for me, I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him.”
Khawsoih boeikhqi ingkaw ukkungkhqi ing ami huh awh, “Thinglam awh tai! Thinglam awh tai!” tinawh khy uhy. Cehlai Pilat ing, “Khyn unawh, tai uh. Kai ingtaw a thawlhnaak am hu nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
7 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “[Our ancestor Moses gave us] the law that says we must kill anyone [who claims to be God]. This man claims that he is (the Son of/the man who is also) God, [so you must have him killed] {[command your soldiers to kill him]}.”
Cawh Judakhqi ing, “Ka mimah a cawngpyinaak awipeek pynoet awm hy. Cek awipeek amyihna Khawsa Capa na ak kqawn qu ak cawmawh a thih aham awm hy,” ti uhy.
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
Ce ak awi ce Pilat ing ang zaak awh kqih khqoet nawh,
9 So he [took Jesus] back inside the headquarters. He said to Jesus, “Where do you [really] come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
ipkhui na cet tlaih hy. “Hana kawng na law?” tinawh Jesu ce doet hy, cehlai Jesu ing awi khangoet awm am hlat pehy.
10 So Pilate said to him, “Are you refusing to answer me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I [also] have authority to [have] you crucified {command my soldiers to crucify you}?”
Pilat ing, “Kai a venawh awikqawn aham amna ngaih nawh nu? Nang loet sak thainaak ingkaw thinglam awh tai thainaak ta nyng ti amna sim nawh nu?” tina hy.
11 Jesus replied, “The only authority you have is what has been given to you by God [MTY] {what God [MTY] has given you}. The [high priest] put me into your hands. [He has done to me what he wanted to do, and you do not really want to do it]. So he is guilty of committing a greater sin than you are.”
Jesu ing, “Khan benna kawng ama ni peek awhtaw kak khanawh saithainaak am ta kawp ti. Cedawngawh nangmih a venna kai anik peekung a thawlhnaak ve bau khqoet hy,” tina hy.
12 Because of that, Pilate kept trying to release Jesus. But the Jewish [leaders][SYN], [threatening to report to the Emperor that Pilate was not going to punish a man who claimed he was a king], continued to shout, “Anyone who claims that he is a king is opposing the Emperor! So if you release this man, [we will make sure that] the Emperor [learns about it, and then he will not consider you as] his friend!”
Cawh Pilat ing Jesu ce hlah aham ngaih hy, cehlai Judakhqi ing, “Ve ak thlang ve na loet sak awhtaw, nang taw Kaisarar a pyi am voel hawh ni. U awm amah ing sangpahrang na ak sai qu taw Kaisarar ak oelh ak thlang ni,” tina uhy.
13 When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out again. He sat down at the place where he made decisions [about punishing people]. The place was called {People called it} The Stone Pavement. In the Aramaic language its name was Gabbatha.
Ce ak awi ce Pilat ing ang zaak awh, Jesu ce law pyi nawh awidengnaak Lung Ngawihdoelh (Aqamaic awi na Gabbatha) awh ngawi sak hy.
14 It was almost noontime, on the day that they prepared [things for] the Passover [celebration] (OR, the day before the [Sabbath during] the Passover [celebration]). Pilate said to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [ridiculing them], “Look at your king!”
Cenyn taw loentaak khawnghi coekqoek nyn na awm hy, khawnoek kquk tluk pha hawh hy. Pilat ing Judakhqi venawh, “Nami sangpahrang ve toek lah uh!” tinak khqi hy.
15 They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! [Have] him crucified {Command your soldiers to nail him to a cross}!” Pilate said to them, “[He is] your king! Do you really want me to [tell my soldiers to] nail him to a cross?” The chief priests replied, “The Emperor is our king! We do not have any other king!”
Cehlai cekkhqi ing, “Anih ce him! Anih ce him! Thinglam awh tai” tinawh khy uhy. Pilat ing, “Nangmih a sangpahrang ve thinglam awh kak tai hly nu?” tinak khqi hy. Cawh khawsoeih boeikhqi ing, “Kaisarar am awhtaw sangpahrang am ta unyng,” tina uhy.
16 Then [at last] Pilate agreed to do [what they wanted, and he told the soldiers] to crucify Jesus. John 19:16b-24 Then the soldiers took Jesus away.
A hukhit na taw thinglam awh tai aham Jesu ce a mingmih a kut awh Pilat ing pek khqi hy. Cedawngawh qalkapkhqi ing Jesu ce ceh pyi uhy.
17 [As they left], he himself was carrying the cross [on which they were going to nail him]. They went to a place called The Place of a Skull. In the Aramaic language it is called {they call it} Golgotha.
Amah a thinglam ce kawt nawh luqawk hun (Aqamaic awi na Golgotha ti uhy) na ce cet hy.
18 There, [after removing most of his clothes], the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They also [nailed] two other [criminals to crosses]. There was one on each side, and Jesus was in the middle.
Ce hun awh anih ce thlang pakkhih mi thinglam awh tai haih uhy – tang ben cawng benawh cekqawi ce tai unawh cekqawi anglak lung awh Jesu ce tai uhy.
19 Pilate also [had them] write [on a board] a notice [that stated why they were executing him], and fasten it to the cross. But all they wrote was ‘Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews’.
Pilat ing, ‘Nazareth Jesu Judahkhqi sangpahrang,’ tinawh ami qee coengawh thinglam awh taih pe uhy.
20 Many Jews were [able to] read this sign, because the place where Jesus was nailed {where they nailed Jesus} to the cross was very close to [Jerusalem, where many people had come for the celebration], and because it was written {they wrote it} in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
Thinglam awh Jesu ami tainaak hun ce khawk bau awhkawng zoe hy, cawhkaw caa ce Aqamaic, Latin ingkaw Greek awina a qee a dawngawh, Juda thlang khawzah ing qeel uhy.
21 So the Jewish priests went back to Pilate and protested, saying to him, “Change what they have written from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘This man said that he is the King of the Jews’!”
Juda khawsoeih boeikhqi ing Pilat a venawh, ‘Juda sangpahrang’ tinawh koeh qee, ve ak thlang ing Juda sangpahrang na awm nyng, ti hy, tinawh qee,” tina uhy.
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
Pilat ing, ka qee cetaw, ka qee nani a awm hawh,” tina hy.
23 After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak [separate]. This cloak was without seam, woven [from top to bottom], one piece of cloth.
Qalkapkhqi ing Jesu ce thinglam awh ami tai coengawh, a hi ce lawh pe unawh, thlang pynoet qip aham, pupthli na paa qu uhy. A angki awm lo uhy. Ce angki taw ak khqui kaana awm nawh, a haawng awhkawng a pum dy ang tah qu ni.
24 So they said to each other, “Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s [decide] ([by] throwing lots/[by] gambling) who will get it.” So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that [the Psalmist had written] in Scripture, They divided [most of] my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for [one piece of] my clothing.
Ceamyihna awm saw amingmih ing, “Vawhkaw hi vetaw koeh teek u sih. U ing nu a huh kaw, taicung na zyk u sih,” ti uhy. “Ka hi ve teei unawh ka angki ce taicung zyk sih kawm uh,” tinawh qee hyt na ak awm ce a soepnaak aham vemyihkhqi ve ak awm ni. Ceamyihna qalkapkhqi ing sai uhy.
25 Near the cross where [they had nailed] Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and [another] Mary, the woman from Magdala [village].
Jesu a thinglam a kingawh a nu, a nu a naa, Klopa a zu Meri ingkaw Meri Magdalene mi ce awm uhy.
26 Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, “This man [will now be like] your son.”
Jesu ing cawh ak awm a nu ingkaw, amah ing a lungnaak hubat thlang pynoet cawh ak dyi ce a huh awh, a nu a venawh, “Nu, na capa ve toek lah,” tina hy.
27 And he said to me, “[Treat this] woman as [MET] your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home [and took care of her].
Cekcoengawh a hubat thlang a venawh, “Na nu ve toek lah,” tina bai hy. Cawh kawng awhtaw cawhkaw a hubat ing a nu ce im na ceh pyi hy.
28 Later, Jesus knew that everything [that God sent him to do] had now been completed {that he had now completed everything [that God sent him to do]}, [but he knew that something else that was written in] the Scriptures [had] to be fulfilled {[that he had] to fulfill [something else that they had written in] the Scriptures}. So he said, “I am thirsty!”
Cak Ciim awi a soepnaak aham ik-oeih boeih coeng hawh hy tice a sim awh, Jesu ing, “Tui ngaih nyng,” tihy.
29 There was a jar of sour wine there. So [someone took] a stalk of [a plant called] hyssop and [fastened] a sponge [to it. Then] he dipped [the sponge into the wine and] lifted it up to Jesus’ lips.
Cawh misur tui ak thui ce am awh hawih uhy, cawhkaw misur tui ak thui ce hlapawt ing hluk unawh, cawhkaw hlapawt ce hyssop thing awh ami tlet coengawh Jesu a hui awh tuh uhy.
30 When Jesus tasted the sour wine, he shouted, “[I] have finished [all that I came to do]!” Then he bowed his head and (died/handed over his spirit [to God]).
Misur tui ak thui ce ami hluk coengawh, Jesu ing, “Coeng Hawh hy,” tihy. Cekcoengawh a hawng tlep nawh a mal pat pahoei hy.
31 That was the day that they prepared [everything for their] ([Sabbath/day of rest]). The next day was a special day of rest, [because it was the day of rest during the Passover celebration]. The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not want the bodies [of the three men] to remain on the cross during their (Sabbath/day of rest) [because leaving bodies hanging overnight would be contrary to their Jewish laws]. So they went to Pilate and asked him [to command that] the legs [of the three men on the crosses] be broken {the [soldiers] to break the legs [of the three men on the crosses]}, [so that they would die quickly]. Then their [bodies] could be taken down [and buried] {someone could take down their bodies [and bury them]}.
Ce nyn taw coekqoek nyn na awm nawh, a khawngawi taw Sabbath nyn na awm hy. Sabbath nyn awh thinglam awh thlang a qawk a bat ce Judakhqi ing a mami ngaih a dawngawh, Pilat a venna cet unawh thinglam awhkaw ami tai thlangkhqi khaw ce hqem pe nawh thinglam awhkawng qawk ce lawh aham thoeh uhy.
32 So, [after Pilate agreed], the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man whom they had nailed on a cross near Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the second man.
Cedawngawh qalkapkhqi ce law unawh Jesu ingqawi thinglam awh ami tai haih thlang pynoet a khaw ce hqem pe uhy, cekcoengawh ak chang pynoet a khaw ce awm hqem pe bai uhy.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
Cehlai Jesu a ven a mi pha awh anih cetaw a qaawk na hu uhy, cedawngawh a khaw ce am hqem pe voel uhy.
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear [to make sure that Jesus was dead]. Immediately blood [clots] and [other] liquid flowed out, [which showed that Jesus was really dead].
Qalkap pynoet ing Jesu ce cai ing a vei awh sun hy, cawh thi ingkaw tui ce lawng law pahoei hy.
35 I, [John], saw this myself, and what I am writing is true. I [know that] I am telling the truth, and I am saying this in order that you may believe [in] (OR, [my testimony about]) [Jesus].
Ak hukung ing ni sim sak hawh hy, (a ni sim sak awi ce thym hy; ak kqawn thym hy ti sim qu hy, ) nangmih ingawm namik cangnaak lawt hamna.
36 These things happened in order that these words would be fulfilled {to fulfill these words} [that are written in] Scripture: “Not one of his bones will be broken {No one will break any of his bones}.”
Cakciim awiawh ak awm, “A quh pynoet awm am ek tikaw,” ti ce a soepnaak ahamna vekkhqi ve ak awm law ni.
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
Cawh Cakciim ak chang bai awhawm, “A mingmih ing cai ing ami sun ce toek kawm uh,” tinawh awm bai hy.
38 Later, Joseph, from Arimathea [town, went to Pilate and] asked Pilate [to allow him] to take Jesus’ body [down from the cross]. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but he did not tell anyone that, because he was afraid of the [other] Jewish [leaders] [SYN]. Pilate permitted him to take Jesus’ body, so he went, along [with others], and they took Jesus’ body [down from the cross].
A hu na, Arimathea khaw awhkaw Joseph ing Pilat a venawh Jesu a qawk ce thoeh hy. Joseph taw Jesu a hubat pynoet na awm lawt hy. Judakhqi ak kqih a dawngawh ang hyp na awm hy. Pilat ak caming, cet nawh Jesu a qawk ce lo hy.
39 Nicodemus was one of them. He was the man who previously went to visit Jesus at night. Nicodemus bought an [expensive] mixture of myrrh and aloe [spices to put on the body]. It weighed about (75 pounds/35 kilograms).
Khawmthan awh Jesu a venna ak cet Nekodemu ing anih ce pyi hy. Nikodemu ing myrrh ing ak kqit bawktui, khqihkip pawngnga tluk ce haw law hy.
40 They took the body of Jesus and wrapped strips of linen cloth around it, putting the spices in with the strips of cloth. They did this according to the Jewish customs [about burying bodies in tombs].
Jesu a pum lo nih nawh bawktui ing ani hluk coengawh hi ing zawl hy nih. Judakhqi a singyoe amyihna cemyihna sai hy nih.
41 Close to the place where Jesus was crucified {where they nailed Jesus to the cross} there was a grove [of trees], and [at the edge of] that grove was a new burial cave. Nobody had ever been put in that cave [previously].
Jesu thinglam ami tainaak awh dum pynoet awm hy, ce a dum khuiawh phyi ak thai pynoet awm hy, ce a phyi khuiawh a u awm vui hlan uhy.
42 The Jewish day of rest would start [at sunset, and they had to finish burying his body before then]. So, since that cave was nearby, they laid Jesus’ body there [and rolled a huge stone in front of the entrance].
Ce nyn ce Judakhqi coekqoek nyn na awm nawh phyi a zoe a dawngawh Jesu ce pup hy nih.
