Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
Khosoihham rhoek, patong rhoek, cadaek rhoek neh khoboei pum loh dawtletnah yueya tlek a saii uh. Jesuh te a khih uh phoeiah a khuen uh tih Pilat taengah a thak uh.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Te vaengah Pilat loh Jesuh te, “Judah rhoek kah manghai la na om a? tila a dawt. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Namah long ni na ti,” a ti nah.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Khosoihham rhoek long khaw Jesuh te tholh muep a paelnaeh uh.
4 So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
Te dongah Pilat loh Jesuh te koep a dawt tih, “Nang muep m'paelnaeh uh ke khat khaw na doo mahpawt nim? a ti nah.
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Tedae Jesuh loh a doo voel pawt dongah Pilat te a ngaihmang.
6 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
Te vaengkah khotue takuem ah thongtla pakhat te a hoep tih ana hlah pah.
7 [At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
Te dongah rhalthoh rhoek neh a khoh Barabbas a ti te om. Anih loh olpungnah dongah ngawnnah a saii.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Hlangping te khaw cet uh tih a saii noek la amamih ham koe a bih uh.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Tedae Pilat loh amih te a doo tih, “Na ngaih uh nim, Judah manghai he nangmih ham kan hlah mako?” a ti nah.
10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
Uethnetnah dongah khosoihham rhoek loh anih taengla a voeih uh te a ming.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Tedae khosoihham rhoek loh hlangping te a hueh tih Barabbas te amih ham lat a hlah sak.
12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
Te dongah Pilat loh amih te a doo tih, “Te koinih Judah manghai la na khue uh te metla ka saii ham lae na ngaih uh?” koep a ti nah.
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Te rhoek loh, “Anih te tai laeh,” tila koep pang uh.
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Tedae Pilat loh amih taengah, “Mebang boethae nim a saii?” a ti nah. Amih long khaw, “Anih te tai laeh,” tila bung pang uh.
15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
Pilat loh hlangping kolo la saii a ngaih dongah amih ham Barabbas te a hlah pah. Tedae Jesuh te a tam tih tai ham a paek.
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
Te phoeiah rhalkap rhoek loh Jesuh te khoboeiyung a om nah vongup khuila a khuen uh tih caem te a pum la a hueh uh.
17 [After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Te phoeiah Jesuh te daidi neh a khuk uh tih hling rhuisam a vaeh uh te a khuem sakuh.
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
Te phoeiah, “Judah rhoek kah manghai na sading saeh,” tila Jesuh te kut koe a tuukuh.
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Te phoeiah a lu te capu neh a boh uh tih a timthoeih uh. Khuklu te khaw cungkueng uh tih Jesuh te a bawk uh.
20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
Jesuh te a tamdaeng uh phoeiah daidi te a pit pauh. Te phoeiah a himbai te a bai sak uh tih tai hamla a khuen uh.
21 [After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
Te vaengah Kurena hlang Alexander neh Rufus kah a napa Simon lohma lamkah ha pawk tih pal khum rhoi dae Jesuh kah thinglam te koh sak ham khak a tanolh uh.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Te phoeiah Jesuh te Golgotha hmuen la a khuen uh. Tekah te lurhuh hmuen ni a thuingaih.
23 Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
Te vaengah myrrh misurtui te Jesuh a paek uh dae doe pawh.
24 [Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
Jesuh te a tai uh phoeiah a himbai te a phen pa uh tih amamih khat khat loh a khuen ham te hmulung a naan uh.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Khonoek pathum a lo vaengah Jesuh te a tai uh.
26 They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
Te phoeiah a paelnaehnah ming te a daek tih,” Judah Manghai,” la a khueh pah.
27 They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
Anih neh dingca panit te khaw bantang ah pakhat banvoei ah pakhat a tai uh.
Aka van paitai loh anih te a soehsal uh tih a lu a hinghuen uh.
29 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
Te vaengah, “Aw bawkim te aka phae tih hnin thum ah aka sa,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Namah te khang uh lamtah thinglam lamkah rhum lah,” a ti nauh.
31 The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
Khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek van long khaw a tamdaeng uh tih khat khat taengah, “A tloe rhoek te a khang dae amah aka khang uh thai pawh.
32 He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
Israel manghai Khrih thinglam lamkah rhum laeh, te daengah ni kan hmuh uh vetih kan tangnah u eh,” a ti nauh. A taengkah a tai uh long khaw Jesuh te a thuithet.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Khonoek parhuk a pha neh diklai pum ah yinnah loh khonoek pako duela a thing.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Khovang khonoek pako vaengah Jesuh tah, “Eloi, Eloi lama sabakhthani?” tila a ol a len la pang. Te tah, “Ka Pathen, Ka Pathen, balae tih kai nan phap,” te ni a thuingaih.
35 When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
Te vaengah a taengkah aka pai khuikah a ngen loh a yaak uh tih, “Elijah a khue ke,” a ti uh.
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
Hlang pakhat aka yong loh caethum te yuthui neh a sul tih cungkui dongah a kaek. Te phoeiah Jesuh te a tul tih, “Hlah uh lamtah so uh lah sih, anih aka hla la Elijah ha pawk venim,” a ti.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Te phoeiah Jesuh loh ol a lenla a huel tih pat.
38 [At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Te vaengah bawkim kah hniyan te a soi lamloh a hmui due panit la pawn.
39 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
Anih hmai ah aka pai rhalboei long khaw a pat te a hmuh vaengah, “Hekah hlang tah Pathen Capa rhep ni,” a ti.
40 There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
Te vaengah a hla lamkah aka dan huta rhoek khaw om uh. Amih khuiah Magadala Mary, a noe James neh Joses manu Mary neh Salome khaw om.
Amih tah Galilee ah a om vaeng lamkah loh Jesuh te a vai uh tih a khut uh. Te phoeiah a tloe, amah neh Jerusalem la aka luei rhoek khaw muep omuh.
42 When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
Te phoeiah hlaem a pha coeng tih rhuengphongnah om. Te dongah te tah huetnah la om.
Te vaengah Arimathea lamkah khoboei hlangcong Joseph te ha pawk. Anih tah amah long khaw Pathen kah ram te aka lamtawn la om. Pilat taengah ngaingaih la cet tih Jesuh kah rhok te a bih.
44 Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
Jesuh a duek tarha te Pilat khaw a ngaihmang. Te dongah rhalboei te a khue tih, “Duek dingrhae pawn nim ca,” tila a dawt.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Rhalboei lamkah te a mingpha daengah rhok te Joseph a paek.
46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
Te vaengah a himbai lai neh a hlak. Himbai te a yen phoeiah anih te hlan ah a khueh. Te tah lungpang dongah a thuk tangtae la om. Te phoeiah tah hlan rhai te lungto a paluet thil.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Magadala Mary neh Joses manu Mary long khaw a khueh nah te a hmuh.
