Luke 23
1 Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
Hahoi ahnimouh teh karik a thaw awh teh, Jisuh hah Pailat koe a ceikhai awh.
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!”
Hete tami ni ka taminaw a dumyen, Sizar siangpahrang koe tamuk na poe mahoeh, ati teh, kai doeh Khrih, siangpahrang toe a ti, ti teh ahni hah yonpen awh.
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.”
Pailat bawi ni, nang teh Judah siangpahrang katang maw telah a pacei nah, Jisuh ni na pacei e patetlah bokheiyah, atipouh.
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.”
Hatnavah Pailat ni vaihma bawinaw hoi taminaw koe, hete tami heh a yonnae banghai ka hmawt hoeh atipouh.
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!”
Hatei hoe ka cai lah a hram awh teh, hete tami ni cangkhai e lahoi tami moikapap thung dawkvah runae a tâcokhai. Galilee ram hoi Judah ram pueng koung a katin, atuteh hi vah a pha toe ati awh.
6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
Hote Pailat ni a thai navah, hete tami heh Galilee tami maw telah a pacei.
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.
Jisuh teh Herod ni a uknaeram dawkvah ao tie a panue navah ama teh Herod koe a ceisak awh. Hatnavah Herod hai Jerusalem kho ao.
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 ni Jisuh a hmu navah a lunghawi poung, bangkongtetpawiteh ahnie kong hah pou a thai e lah ao teh kâhmo han a ngainae moi a ro toe. Hahoi Jisuh ni kângairuhno buetbuet touh a sak e hmu hanelah a ngai awh.
9 So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
Hatnavah Herod ni Jisuh teh lawk moikapap a pacei. Hatei Jisuh ni lawk kam touh boehai pathung hoeh.
10 The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
Vaihma bawinaw hoi cakathutkungnaw ni a kangdue awh teh, puenghoi yon a pen awh.
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.
Herod hoi a ransanaw ni Jisuh teh a pacekpahlek teh banglahai noutna awh hoeh. Angki kahawi a kho sak awh teh Pailat koe bout a thak awh.
12 Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
Hote hnin dawkvah Pailat hoi Herod teh huiko lah a o, hat hoehnahlan teh a kâtaran roi.
13 Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
Pailat ni vaihma bawinaw hoi kahrawikungnaw hoi tami moikapap a kaw teh,
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.
hete tami heh kai koevah na thokhai teh tami moikapap hah runae koe a hrawi na ti awh. Atuteh ama hah na hmalah tâcokhai teh hno kahawihoeh a sak telah yon na pen e naw pueng hah buet touh boehai a sak telah ka hmawt hoeh.
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 ni hai a yonnae hmawt van hoeh, hatdawkvah kai koevah bout a thak. Hete tami ni vah thei khai han kamcu lah hno a sak e buet touh hai awm hoeh.
16 So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Hatdawkvah ka yue vaiteh ka tha han, telah a ti.
Ceitakhai pawi ao nah tangkuem vah Pailat ni thongim ka bawt e buetbuet touh ouk a tha e lah ao.
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
Taminaw pueng ni a hram awh teh, ahni teh thet awh. Barabas hah tha awh telah a ti.
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].
Barabas teh kho thungvah kamcannae hoi tami ka dumyen e, tami a thei kecu dawkvah thongim ka bawt e lah ao.
20 Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
Pailat ni Jisuh tha han a ngai dawkvah taminaw pueng koe lawk bout a dei.
21 But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
Hatei a hram awh teh, thingpalam dawk het sin awh, thingpalam dawk het sin awh, telah ati awh.
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.”
Pailat ni bout a dei pouh e teh, bang yonnae maw a sak. Due han kamcu lah hno a sak e buet touh hai ka hmawt hoeh. Ka yue vaiteh ka tha han, telah apâthum lah a dei.
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],
Hatei lawk kacaipoung lahoi yah, Jisuh teh thingpalam dawk het sin awh, telah puenghoi a hram awh dawkvah ahnimae lawk ni a tâ.
24 Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
Pailat ni hai ahnimouh ni a hei e patetlah lawk a tâtueng pouh.
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.
Ruengruengtinae hoi tamitheinae dawk hoi thongim paung lah kaawm e hah a hei awh e patetlah a tha pouh teh, Jisuh hah amamae ngainae patetlah a poe.
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.
Jisuh teh ransanaw ni a ceikhai awh navah, Sairen kho e Simon ka tho lahun e hah a hmu awh teh a man awh, hateh thingpalam a hrawm sak awh teh Jisuh hnuk a kâbang sak awh.
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.
Hahoi tamimaya hoi ka khuikap e napuinaw ni a kâbang sin awh.
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!
Jisuh ni ahnimanaw hah a khet teh, Jerusalem e napuinaw, kai hanelah kap awh hanh, namamouh hoi na canaw hanelah kap awh.
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!’
Bangkongtetpawiteh, cakaroe e napui teh a yawhawi. Camo kaneng boihoeh rae napui teh a yawhawi telah dei nahane hnin a pha han.
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!’
Hote tueng dawkvah taminaw ni monnaw kaimouh dawk bawt haw, ati awh vaiteh, monruinaw, kaimouh muen na tim sin awh haw, telah ati awh han.
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]”
Bangkongtetpawiteh thingkung a hring lahun nah hottetelah sak pawiteh, ka ke e koe teh bangtelamaw ao han, telah atipouh.
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].
Alouke tami kahni touh tamikayon reira, Jisuh hoi rei thei hanelah a ceikhai van awh.
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].
Hatnavah, Luhru tie hmuen koe a pha awh navah Jisuh teh thingpalam dawk a pathout awh teh tamikayon kahni touh hai aranglah buet touh, avoilah buet touh a pathout van awh.
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].
Jisuh ni, a Pa, ahnimae yon ngaithoum haw, bangmaw ka sak tie panuek awh hoeh, telah ati. Ahnimouh ni cungpam a rayu awh teh angki a kâravei awh.
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!”
Hahoi, tami moikapap ni kangdue laihoi a khet awh. Ahnimouh hoi kahrawikungnaw ni a panuikhai awh teh, tami alouknaw teh a rungngang, ama teh Cathut ni a rawi e Messiah lah awm pawiteh amahoima rungngang naseh, telah ati awh.
36 The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
Ransanaw ni hai a tho teh misur tui ka thut e hah a poe teh,
37 They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
Judah Siangpahrang lah na awm pawiteh na mahoima kârungngang haw titeh a dudam awh.
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’.
A lû lathueng thut lah kaawm e lawk teh, AHNI TEH JUDAH SIANGPAHRANG DOEH, telah Grik, Latin, Hebru lawk lahoi a vo awh.
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!”
Hahoi vo lah kaawm e tamikayon buet touh ni, Jisuh a dudam teh, Messiah lah na awm hoeh maw. Namahoima rungngang nateh kaimouh hai na rungngang haw telah atipouh.
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.
Hatei, alouke buet touh ni ahni hah a yue teh, Cathut na taket hoeh maw. Nang hai ahni hoi reikâvan lah yonphukhangnae hah pouk haw atipouh.
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!”
Maimouh roi teh tawkphu doeh khang roi. Hatei hete tami ni teh banghai payonnae sak hoeh atipouh.
42 Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
Hahoi Jisuh koe a dei pouh e teh, Bawipa, na uknaeram dawk na tho torei teh, kai na pahnim hanh lah a, telah atipouh.
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!)
Jisuh ni atangcalah na dei pouh, sahnin paradis vah kai hoi rei na o han, atipouh.
44 [Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Hote tueng teh kanîtuengtalueng a thun hoi tangminlasa suimilam kathum totouh, suimilam kathum touh thung talai van abuemlah kho king a hmo.
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].
Hahoi bawkim thung yap e lukkarei kahni touh lah a kâphi.
46 [As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
Jisuh ni kacaipounglah a hram teh, a Pa, na kut dawkvah ka muitha na poe, telah a titeh a hringnae a thouk.
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!”
Hote hah ransabawi ni a hmu navah, Cathut a pholen. Hete tami teh tamikalan tangngak doeh, telah a ti.
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].
Hote hno khet hanelah ka tho e taminaw pueng ni hotnaw a hmu navah a lungtabue a ratup awh teh a ban awh.
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.
Jisuh ka panuek e taminaw hoi Galilee ram hoi amae hnukkâbang e napuinaw ni, hete hno teh ahlapoungnae koehoi a khet awh.
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.
Hatnavah Judah ram Arimathea kho dawk tami buet touh a min Joseph tie ao. Ahni teh tami kahawi hoi tamikalan lah ao teh Cathut uknaeram ka tho hane ka ngaihawi e lah ao. Ama teh Bawi dawk ka bawk e lah ao van ei teh lawk tâtueng e hoi hno a sak awh e hah a lungkuep hoeh.
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.
Cathut uknaeram ka ngaihawi e tami kahawi, tamikalan lah ao.
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],
Pailat koe a cei teh Jisuh e a ro hah a hei.
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.
A ro hah a la teh lukkarei hoi a kayo teh tami buet touh boehai pakawp boihoeh rae talung tangkom thungvah a pakawp.
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].
Atangtho teh sabbath hnin a hnai toe,
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].
Galilee ram hoi Jisuh e a hnukkâbang e napuinaw hah Joseph koe a cei awh teh tangkom hoi tangkom thungvah bangtelamaw Jisuh e a ro hah a ta tie khet hanelah a cei awh.
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.
Hahoi im lah a ban awh teh hmuitui hoi satui hah a rakueng awh. Sabbath hnin teh kâpoelawk patetlah a kâhat awh.
