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).
Tua ahikom Pilate in Jesus paipui a, sat hi.
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].
Ngalkap te in ling taw kumpi lukhut khat pheak in, a lu tung ah khusak uh a, puan sannum silsak uh hi,
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
Taciang Judah te Kumpi! na khan sau tahen, ci uh a, amate in a khut uh taw beang uh hi.
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].”
Tua ahikom, Pilate pusuak kik a, amate tung ah, en vun, a mawna mu ngawl khi hi, ci na heak natu uh in, note kung ah hong pusua khi hi, ci hi.
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
Tua zawkciang in, Jesus ling lukhu khu a, puan sannum sil in hong pusuak hi. Taciang Pilate in amate tung ah, Ama en vun! ci hi.
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.”
Thiampi lian te le palik te in a mu uh ciang in, thinglamte tung ah khai in, thinglamte tung ah khai in, ci au uh hi. Pilate in amate tung ah, paipui tavun a, thinglamte tung ah khai vun: banghangziam cile a mawna bangma ka mu bua hi, ci hi.
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]}.”
Judah mite in, ngeina nei khu hi, ka ngeina bang hile a thi tu in kilawm hi, banghangziam cile ama le ama Pathian Tapa in ki vawt hi, ci in zo uh hi.
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
Tua ahikom Pilate in tua thu a zak ciang in, lau seseam hi;
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.
Taciang a innsung ah tum kik a, Jesus kung ah, koisung pan ni ziam? ci hi. Ahihang Jesus in zo ngawl hi.
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}?”
Tua zawkciang in Pilate in ama kung ah, hong paupui ngawl tu ni ziam? nangma thinglamte tung ah khai tu le suatak natu thuneina nei khi hi, ci he ngawl ni ziam? ci hi.
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.”
Jesus in, Tungsang pan a ki pia thu simngawl, keima langpan in thuneina na nei thei bua tu hi: tua ahikom na kung ah keima hong ap sia in a lianzaw mawna nei hi, ci in zo hi.
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!”
Tasia pan kipan in Pilate in Jesus suatak thei natu zong hi: ahihang Judah mite in, hisia pa na suatak le, Caesar i lawm hi thei ngawl tu ni hi: a kuama po in ama le ama kumpi in a kivawt peuma Caesar langpan in kampau a hihi, ci au kheukho uh hi.
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.
Tua ahikom Pilate in tua a kampau a zak ciang in, Jesus pusua a, suangpheak kipha a kici na, thukhen tokhum tung ah to hi, tasia sia Hebrew kam in, Gabbatha, kici hi.
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!”
Tua hun sia paisanpoai atu in kingin ni hi a, nai sawm le nai ni kiim a hihi: taciang ama in Judah mite tung ah, en vun, na Kumpipa uh! ci hi.
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!”
Ahihang amate in, ama khai in, ama khai in, thinglamte tung ah that in, ci in au lialua uh hi. Pilate in amate tung ah, na Kumpipa uh thinglamte tung ah khai tu khi ziam? ci hi. Thiampi lian te in, kote in Caesar simngawl kumpi dang nei ngawl khu hi, ci in zo uh hi.
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.
Tua zawkciang in Pilate in Jesus sia thinglamte tung ah khai tu in amate tung ah ap hi. Taciang amate in Jesus la uh a, paipui uh hi.
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.
Taciang a thinglamte pua in lungu mun, a kici na mun ah paipui uh hi, tua mun sia Hebrew kam in Golgotha kici hi:
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.
Tua mun ah amate in Jesus sia thinglamte tung ah khai uh hi, taciang midang ni te zong a ziat le vei ah khai uh a, Jesus sia a lai ah khai uh hi.
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’.
Pilate in lai at a, thinglamte tung ah tak hi, Tua a lai at sia, nazareth khuami jesus, judah te kumpi, ci hi.
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.
Hi lai ki at sia Judah mi tampi in sim uh hi: banghangziam cile Jesus thinglamte tung a khai na mun sia khuapi nai na a hihi: taciang tua lai sia Hebrew, Greek le Latin taw in ki at hi.
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’!”
Judah mite thiampi lian te in Pilate tung ah, Judah mite Kumpipa, ci in at heak in; ahihang, keima sia Judah mite i Kumpipa ka hihi, ci hi, ci in at zaw in, ci uh hi.
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
Pilate in, ka at sa sia, ka at sa hi tahen, ci in zo hi.
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.
Ngalkap te in Jesus sia thinglamte tung ah a khai zawk uh ciang in, a puan sil sia khen li in khen uh a, ngalkap khat in khen khat tek la uh hi; taciang a laktong zong laksak uh hi: tua a laktong sia a zung ki khui ngawl hi a, a tung pan a nuai dong a ki tak a hihi.
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.
Tua ahikom amate sung ah, hisia eau tham bua tawng, ahihang kua in i nga ziam, aisan tawng, ci uh hi: hi thu sia, amate in ka puan te hawm uh a, ka laktong atu in aisan uh hi, ci laithiangtho sung ah a ki atkholsa a tangtun natu a hihi. Tua ahikom hi thu te ngalkap te in seam uh hi.
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].
Tu in Jesus thinglamte kung ah a nu le a nu i nau nu, Cleopas i zi Mary le Mary Magdalene te ding uh hi.
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.”
Tua ahikom Jesus in a nu le a it mama a nungzui pa a ding a mu ciang, a nu kung ah, Numei awng, na tapa en in! ci hi.
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].
Tua zawkciang in a nungzui pa kung ah, Na nu en in! ci hi. Tua hun pan kipan tua nungzuipa in a nu sia ama inn ah ciapui hi.
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!”
Hi teng zawkciang in Jesus in, tu in na theampo khuagkhim zo hi, ci he a, laithiangtho a tangtun natu in, Ka dangtak hi, ci hi.
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.
Tua mun ah sapittui thuk taw a dim beal khat om hi: taciang tuihup puan khat sapittui thuk sung ah pap suk a, hyssop baak dawn ah a koi zawkciang, Jesus kam ah taa hi.
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]).
Tua ahikom Jesus in sapittui thuk sia a san zawkciang in, A zo zo hi, ci a: taciang a lu kun in thi hi.
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]}.
Tua ni sia kingin ni hi a, zingciang sabbath ni zong ni thupi ahikom in, thiluang te sia thinglamte tung ah om ngawl tu in, a peang te thiaktan tu a, thiluang te la siat in, Judah mite in Pilate kung ah ngen uh hi.
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.
Tua ahikom ngalkap te hongpai uh a, Jesus taw thinglamte tung ah a ki khai khat sia i peang thiaktan a, taciang a dang khat sia i peang zong thiaktan uh hi.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
Ahihang Jesus kung ah hongpai ciang in, thi zo hi, ci a mu uh ciang a peang thiatansak ngawl uh hi:
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].
Ahizong ngalkap te sungpan khat in Jesus pang pan in teipi taw sun a, thakhatthu in thi le tui hong pusuak hi.
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].
Hi thu a mu pa in tettipang hi, taciang tettipan na sia a man hi: na up thei natu uh in, a son thu man hi, ci a he uh hi.
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}.”
Hibang thu te a vawt na sia, a ngu khat zong ki thiaktan ngawl hi, ci laithiangtho a tangtun na a hihi.
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
A dang laithiangtho in a son kik na ah, amate in a sut pa en tu uh hi, ci hi.
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].
Hisia zawkciang in, Judah mite a lau uh hu in a thimtham in Jesus nung a zui, Arithmathaea khua mi Joseph in Pilate kung ah Jesus luanghawm la tu in ngen a: Pilate in pia hi. Tua ahikom Joseph in Jesus luang la hi.
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).
Jesus kung ah zan lai in a pai ngei Nicodemus sia myrrh le aloe a kihel, pong zakhat keng in hongpai hi.
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].
Amate in Jesus luang la a, Judah te mithi vui ngeina bang in, ngim namtui le puan neamno taw tun uh hi.
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].
Jesus thinglamte tung a khai na mun ah huan khat om a; tua huan sung ah kuama a ki vui ngei ngawl lai na mun than thak khat om hi.
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].
Judah mite kingin ni ahikom in Jesus sia tua than ah vui uh hi; banghangziam cile tua than sia a nai na ah om hi.
