Luke 23
1 Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
Chuin mipi kikhom chengse chun Yeshua chu Rome Gamvaipo, Pilate hengah ahin pui tauve.
2 They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
Amahon apansat nau thu chu aseipan un: “Hiche mipa hin kamiteu apuileng'in, Rome solkal koma kai peh lou ding tin aseiyin chule ama tahjong Messiah, Leng akihisah e,” atiuve.
3 Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
Hijeh chun Pilate in ama chu adongin, “Nangma Juda te Lengpa nahim?” ati. Yeshuan adonbut in, “Kahi chu nasei khai” ati.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
Pilate chu thempu pipui hole mihonpi hengah ahung kiheiyin chule aseitai, “Hiche mipa chunga hin ima adihlou kamupoi!” ati.
5 But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
Chuin amahon asei teitei jengun, “Ahivanga, amahin achena chan'a athuhil a kona boina asem jing jeng ahi–Judea pumpia, Galilee a pat Jerusalem geiya!” atiuve.
6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
“Oh, Galilee gammi ham?” tin Pilate in ahin dong'e.
7 When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
Amahon ahi atipeh phat un, Pilate in Herod Antipas koma dingin asol tai, ajeh chu Galilee chu Herod vaipoh nanoi anahi, chule Herod jong chu Jerusalem a aumpet anahi khan ahi.
8 [So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
Herod in Yeshua mu na dinga phat hoitah amujeh chun akitai lheh jengin ahi, ajeh chu ama chung chang thudol anajah'a chule sot'a pat'a thilkidang abolho anamu nomten ahi.
9 So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
Aman Yeshua chu thudoh tamtah adongin, ahivangin Yeshuan adonbut nom poi.
10 The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
Hiche lai chun thempu pipui hole hou danthuhil ho chua chun adingun ahehset nathu'u chu asam un ahi.
11 Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
Chuin Herod le asepaiten Yeshua chu totnopnan aneiyun adaichavai pan tauve. Achainan, amahon leng ponsil asilpeh un Pilate hengah ahinle sol tauve.
12 Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
(Herod le Pilate, masanga kimelmah teni chu, hiche ni chun jol le gol ahung hilhon'e). Yeshua Tha Dinga Athu Atan-U
13 Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
Chuin Pilate in thempu pipui hole hou lamkai adangho, mipiho jaonan, akoukhom in,
14 He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
chule athulhuh sem aphongdoh in ahi. “Nanghon hiche mipa hi kakoma nahin puiyun, doudal natoh atonge tia ngohna naneiyu ahi. Keiman hiche thudol a hin phatah in nangho mitmun kavelhan chule bolset neilou ahi kamudoh'e.
15 [Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
Herod in jong themmona amulou jeh a eiho koma ahinle sol ahi. Thina thei chan gotna peh nading natoh hiche mipan abolpoi.
16 So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Hijeh chun keiman gimbolna peing ting, hinlhadoh tange,” ahinti.
Ajeh chu kut sunga chu amahon mikhat alhadoh jing-u ahi.
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
Chutah chun mihonpi lah a kon chun awgin sangtah ahung gingin, thakhat tah in ahin sam'un, “Amahi thatdoh'in, chule Barabbas chu neilhadoh peh un!” atiuve.
19 Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
(Barabbas chu agam solkal douna natoh jeh le toltha jeh'a songkul'a kikhum anahi.)
20 Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
Pilate in amaho anelkal'in ahi, ajehchu aman Yeshua alhadoh nom jeh ahi.
21 But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
Ahivangin amahon asam sam jengun, “Thingpel'a khenbeh in! thingpel'a khenbeh in!” atiuve.
22 He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Athumvei channa din aman adongin, “Ipi bol'in em? Ipi them mona aneiyem? Keiman thina chan'a gotna peh nading thu ima kamupoi. Hijeh chun hin vogim ingting hinlhadoh tange,” ati.
23 But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
Ahivangin mihonpi chun awsang jep in aha sapcheh un, Yeshua chu thingpel'a khetbeh ahinadin athum'un, chule a-awgin u chun ajoujotai.
24 Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
Hijeh chun Pilate in Yeshua chu angeh dungjuiyun athi dingin atanlhah peh tai.
25 The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
Amahon athum dungjuiyun Barabbas, michohnoh le toltha jeh a songkul'a umpa, alhadoh peh in ahi. Ahin Yeshua vang chu amaho khut'ah anop nop alodiuvin apedoh tai.
26 As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
Chutia Yeshua ahinpuidoh uchun, Simon kiti Cyrene gam mi khat thinglhang langa pat'a ahung pettah anahi. Sepai ho chun aman un thingpel chu achungah akoiyun Yeshua nunga chun apohsah tauve.
27 A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
Mihonpi tamtah'in anung ahinjuiyun, a-op chum'a kap nupiho jong ahiuve.
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
Ahivangin Yeshua amaho langah akiheiyin aseitai, “Jerusalem chanute, keiya dingin kap hih'un, amavang nangho le nachateu dingin kap jouvin.
29 I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
Ijeh inem itile amahon hitia aseina diu nikho hung lhung ding ahi. Cha neilou numeiho, naovop khalou naobu, chule nao noichepsah khalou ho anunnom uve, kiti ding ahi.
30 Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
Mihon mol ho jah'a ‘Neilhuh khum'un’ tia athum dingu, lhang jah'a ‘neikhu khum'un’ atidiu ahi.
31 [I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
Ajeh chu thingphung ahinlai'a bon hitia hi abol ule, iti da ding ham agot teng,” ati.
32 Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
Adang mini, anilhona miphalou, teni jong chu amatoh tha thading'in ahin puidoh uve.
33 When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
Lugu mun atinau mun ahung lhun phat un, amahon thingpel ah thingkil'in akilbeh un ahi. Chuleh miphalou teni jong chu akhetbeh tauve–khat ajet ah chule khat aveiyah.
34 Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
Yeshuan aseitai, “Hepa, ngaidam in, ajeh chu ipi abol'u ahepouve,” ati. Chule sepai hon aponsil chu vang asang'un achang ding akivelhauve.
35 Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
Mihonpi chun aveuvin chule alamkai hon ajontai'un. “Aman midang ho ahuhhingin” tin amahon aseiyun, “Ama le ama kihuhhing tahta Pathen thaonu, Akilhengdoh pachu ahi mong mong leh,” atiuvin ahi.
36 The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
Sepai hon jong adai chavaiyun, donding juthuh apeuvin ahi.
37 They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
Ama ahin kou uvin, “Nangma Judate lengpa nahileh, kihuhhing in!” atiuve.
38 [They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
Achungah chun melchihna khat atah uvin, “Hiche hi Judate lengpa ahi” tin asun uve.
39 One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
Miphalou akikhetbeh pi teni khatpa chun ahin jontaiyin, “Nang, Messiah nahi hilou ham?” Nahi vetsahnan nang le nang kihuhhing in lang chule keini jong neihuhdoh lhon tang'em, hitia nathoh gim laihin! ati.
40 But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
Ahivangin miphalou khatpa chun ahin phohsal in, “Pathen nagin lou ham athidinga naum kisan'a?
41 They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
Eini hi athidinga lom ihi ithil bolkhel jeh'a, ahin hiche pa hin imacha bolkhel aneipoi,” ati.
42 Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
Chuin aman aseitai, “Yeshua, neigeldoh in nalenggam'a nahung teng,” ati.
43 Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
Yeshuan adonbut in, “Tahbeh'a kaseipeh nahi, tunia Paradise a iumkhom ding ahi,” ati.
44 [Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Hiche phat hi sunkim dontah ahin, chule nidan thum chan in gamsung pumpi muthim ahung jingin ahi.
45 There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Nisa a kon vah achemang in, chule kinloitah in houin muntheng'a pondal chu akimlai tah'a akehlhasuh in ahi.
46 [As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
Chutah chun Yeshua ahung peng in, “Pa, nakhut'ah kalhagao kapedoh e” ati. Chule chuche thucheng asei toh kilhon in ahinna alhatai.
47 When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
Rome sepai jalamkaipa, kithana velhalea pang pan thilsoh umchan chu amun, Pathen chibai aboh in aseitai, “Hiche mipa vang michonpha ahi,” ati.
48 When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
Chuleh mihonpi akikhetbeh ve'a hung sesen jong thilsoh umchan chu amu uvin, amaho lungkham tah in inlam ache tauve.
49 All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
Ahivangin Yeshua jol le gol te, Galilee gam'a pat'a hinjui numeiho chengtoh, amaho chu gamla thimtah in adingun ahin galvet uve. Yeshua Long Avui-U
50 There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
Tun Joseph kiti mipha le chondih tah khat aume. Amachu Judate vaipoloi lah a khat ahi.
51 But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
Ahin aman houlamkai dang ho thulhuhna sem le natoh chu ana noppeh lou ahi. Amachu Judea gam'a Arimathea khoa kon ahi, chule Pathen lenggam hung ding chu anga jing ahi.
52 He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
Ama Pilate koma achen Yeshua long chu athum'in ahi.
53 he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
Chuin aman atahsa chu thingpel a pat in alalhan, tupat ponnem ajolsao thimtah khat in atom in, chule song kilai lhanthah khat ah alupsah tai.
54 [They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
Hiche chu kigotni nilhangkai don a vaigei thimtah a kibol ahi, ajeh chu Cholngah ni kipan ding kon cha ahitai.
55 The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
Atahsa akilah mang phat chun, Galilee a pat'a hung numei ho chun ahin jui yun, atahsa kikoina lhan chu agamu uvin ahi.
56 Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
Chuin inlam acheuvin chule thil namtui le atahsa a nuding nuthei akisem uvin ahi. Ahin athilsem u ajo phat'un Cholngah ni anakipan tai, hijeh chun dan thun angeh dungjui in akichol tauve.
