Luke 23
1 Then the whole assembly rose and brought Him to Pilate, and began to accuse Him.
Amih te rhaengpuei la huek pai uh tih Jesuh te Pilat taengla a khuen uh.
2 "We have found this man," they said, "an agitator among our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be himself an anointed king."
Te vaengah Jesuh te pahoi a paelnaeh uh tih, “Anih loh mah namtu he a pamdah sak, Kaisar taengah mangmu paek ham te a paa sak tih amah te, ‘Khrih manghai ni,’ a ti khaw ka hmuh,” a ti uh.
3 Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied.
Te phoeiah Pilat loh a dawt tih, “Nang he Judah manghai la na om a?” a ti nah. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Nang long ni na ti,” a ti nah.
4 Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man."
Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek neh hlangping rhoek te, “Hekah hlang soah a lolh ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
5 But they violently insisted. "He stirs up the people," they said, "throughout all Judaea with His teaching--even from Galilee (where He first started) to this city."
Tedae amih loh a mangkhak la, “Pilnam a hueh tih, Galilee lamloh he hil, Judah tom ah pahoi a thuituen,” a ti uh.
6 On hearing this, Pilate inquired, "Is this man a Galilaean?"
Pilat loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah hlang tah Galilee hoel la om maco,” a ti.
7 And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time.
Te daengah Herod kah saithainah dongah aka om la a ming tih Herod taengla a tueih. Te vaeng tue ah Herod khaw Jerusalem ah om.
8 To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed by Him.
Herod loh Jesuh te a hmuh vaengah bahoeng omngaih. Hlamat kum lamkah a kawng a yaak coeng dongah amah hmuh ham te ngaihlih ana om coeng. Te dongah anih loh a saii miknoek khat khat te hmuh hamla a ngaiuep.
9 So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply.
Te dongah Jesuh te ol muep a dawt. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo moenih.
10 Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him.
Te vaengah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek loh pai uh tih Jesuh te rhaprhap a paelnaeh uh.
11 Then, laughing to scorn the claims of Jesus, Herod (and his soldiers with him) made sport of Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous costume, and sent Him back to Pilate.
Herod neh a rhalkap rhoek long khaw Jesuh te a hnaelcoe uh tih a tamdaeng uh. Te phoeiah himbai a cim thik a bai sak tih Pilat taengla a tueih uh.
12 And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.
Te khohnin kuelhuelh ah Herod neh Pilat loh khat neh khat paya la coeng rhoi. A noek ah amih rhoi te thunkha la om rhoi dae ta.
13 Then calling together the High Priests and the Rulers and the people, Pilate said,
Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek, boei rhoek neh pilnam te a hueh tih,
14 "You have brought this man to me on a charge of corrupting the loyalty of the people. But, you see, I have examined him in your presence and have discovered in the man no ground for the accusations which you bring against him.
“Hekah hlang he kai taengah pilnam aka palet bangla nang khuen uh. Kai loh nangmih hmaiah ka boelh het coeng dae a lolh la anih na paelnaeh uh thil te hekah hlang soah ka hmuh moenih he.
15 No, nor does Herod; for he has sent him back to us; and, you see, there is nothing he has done that deserves death.
Herod long khaw a hmuh pawt dongah ni anih he mamih taengla han tueih. A saii te dueknah neh aka tiing a om moenih he.
16 I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
Te dongah anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah eh,” a ti nah.
Khotue ah amih ham hlang pakhat tah a loeih sak ham manghkhak la a kuek.
18 Then the whole multitude burst out into a shout. "Away with this man," they said, "and release Barabbas to us"
Tedae huek pang uh tih, “Anih he khuen laeh, Barabbas mah kaimih ham han hlah,” a ti uh.
19 --Barabbas! who had been lodged in jail for some time in connexion with a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.
Barabbas tah khopuei ah olpungnah bet a om vaengah ngawnnah a saii dongah thongim khuila a hlak uh.
20 But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.
Jesuh te hlah a ngaih dongah Pilat loh amih te koep a khue.
21 They, however, persistently shouted, "Crucify, crucify him!"
Tedae amih loh a o uh tih, “Anih te tai laeh, tai laeh,” a ti uh.
22 A third time he appealed to them: "Why, what crime has the man committed? I have discovered in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
Tedae Pilat loh amih te, “He loh boethae balae a saii tih, dueknah ham koila anih soah a lolh ka hmuh moenih. Anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah tangloeng eh,” voeithum a ti nah.
23 But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.
Tedae a lalh uh coeng dongah Jesuh tai ham te ol ue la a hoe uh tih amih ol loh boeih a khumla uh.
24 So Pilate gave judgement, yielding to their demand.
Pilat long khaw amih kah bihhoenah te rhoirhi ham ko a tam.
25 The man who was lying in prison charged with riot and murder and for whom they clamoured he set free, but Jesus he gave up to be dealt with as they desired.
Te dongah a hoe uh vanbangla olpungnah neh ngawnnah dongah thongim khuila a det tangtae te a hlah. Tedae Jesuh te amih kongaih bangla a voeih pah.
26 As soon as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenaean, who was coming in from the country, and on his shoulders they put the cross, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
Anih te a khuen uh vaengah Kurena Simon te lohma lamkah ha pawk hatah a tuuk uh tih Jesuh hnukah koh pah ham thinglam te a tloeng pa uh.
27 A vast crowd of the people also followed Him, and of women who were beating their breasts and wailing for Him.
Te vaengah anih te pilnam rheangpuei neh anih aka rhaengsae tih aka hlai huta rhoek loh muep a vai uh.
28 But Jesus turned towards them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Amih te Jesuh loh a mael thil tih, “Jerusalem nu rhoek, kai hamla rhap uh boeh. Namamih ham neh na ca rhoek ham mah rhap uh.
29 For a time is coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the women who never bore children, and the breasts which have never given nourishment.'
‘Cayaa, camoe aka cun pawh bung, aka khut pawh rhang suk loh a yoethen,’ a ti uh tue tah ha pawk coeng he.
30 Then will they begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us;' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
Te vaengah tlang taengah, ‘Kaimih n'tim thil laeh,’ mol taengah khaw, ‘Kaimih m'vuei laeh,’ pahoi a ti uh ni.
31 For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?"
Thing te a thingsup pataeng te tlam te a saii uh atah a koh vaengah metlam a om eh?” a ti nah.
32 They brought also two others, criminals, to put them to death with Him.
A tloe laihmuh panit te khaw anih taengah ngawn ham a khuen uh.
33 When they reached the place called 'The Skull,' there they nailed Him to the cross, and the criminals also, one at His right hand and one at His left.
Lurhuh a ti uh hmuen te a pha uh vaengah Jesuh neh laihmuh rhoi te pahoi a tai uh. Laihmu rhoi khuiah pakhat te bantang ben ah pakhat banvoei ben ah a tai uh.
34 Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." And they divided His garments among them, drawing lots for them;
Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “A pa, amih he tholh hlah mai, a saii uh he khaw a ming uh moenih,” a ti. Te phoeiah a himbai te a phen uh tih hmulung a naan thil uh.
35 and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered their bitter taunts. "This fellow," they said, "saved others: let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, the Chosen One."
Te vaengah pilnam loh pai tih a sawt. Boei rhoek long khaw a nueih thil tih, “Hlang tloe aka khang te amah khaw khang uh saeh. Anih he Pathen kah a coelh Khrih la a om atah,” a ti uh.
36 And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering Him sour wine and saying,
Anih te rhalkap rhoek long khaw a tamdaeng uh tih a paan uh.
37 "Are you the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!"
Anih te yuthui a paek uh tih, “Nang he Judah rhoek kah manghai la na om atah namah khang uh saw,” a ti nah.
38 There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
A sokah a ming khaw, ‘Judah rhoek kah manghai tah anih ni’ tila a om pah.
39 Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him, saying, "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us."
Te vaengah laihmu rhoi a hoei uh khuikah pakhat loh anih te a soehsal tih, “Nang he Khrih la na om mahnim? Namah khaw kaimih rhoi khaw ng'khang lah,” a ti nah.
40 But the other, answering, reproved him. "Do you also not fear God," he said, "when you are actually suffering the same punishment?
Tedae pakhat loh anih te a doo tih a ho. Te vaengah, “Nang tah Pathen ke na rhih moenih a? Laitloeknah khuiah na om boeiloeih dae.
41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss."
Mamih rhoi ngawn tah mah khoboe te n'yook tueng tih tiktam coeng. Tedae anih tah a halang la a saii moenih,” a ti nah.
42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your Kingdom."
Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Na ram khuiah na pawk vaengah kai m'poek ne,” a ti nah.
43 "I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise."
Te dongah anih te, “Namah taengah rhep kan thui, tihnin ah paradai ah kai taengah na om pawn ni,” a ti nah.
44 It was now about noon, and a darkness came over the whole country till three o'clock in the afternoon.
Khonoek parhuk tluk a pha vaengah diklai pum ah yinnah loh a thing tih khonoek pako hil Khomik khaw hmuep.
45 The sun was darkened, and the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn down the middle,
Te vaengah bawkim kah hniyan loh phak phin uh.
46 and Jesus cried out in a loud voice, and said, "Father, to Thy hands I entrust my spirit." And after uttering these words He yielded up His spirit.
Jesuh tah ol ue la pang tih, “A pa, na kut dongah ka mueihla kan paek,” a ti nah. Te a thui neh pahoi pat.
47 The Captain, seeing what had happened, gave glory to God, saying, "Beyond question this man was innocent."
Aka om hno te rhalboei loh a hmuh vaengah Pathen te a thangpom tih, “Hekah hlang tah hlang dueng la om taktak,” a ti.
48 And all the crowds that had come together to this sight, after seeing all that had occurred, returned to the city beating their breasts.
A miklaw kah hlangping aka taai uh boeih loh aka om hno te a hmuh uh vaengah a lungkoe te a tum uh tih bal uh.
49 But all His acquaintances, and the women who had been His followers after leaving Galilee, continued standing at a distance and looking on.
Te vaengah khohla lamkah a huiko khaw boeih ha pai uh. Galilee lamloh a taengah aka bang huta rhoek long khaw a hmuh uh.
50 There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,
Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph tah khoboei la tapkhoeh om. Anih tah hlang then neh hlang dueng la om.
51 who came from the Jewish town of Arimathaea and was awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the design or action of the Council,
Anih tah Judah khopuei pakhat Arimathea lamkah tih amih kah mangtaengnah neh khoboe dongah tlangnaem tlangphai la om pawh. Anih long tah Pathen kah ram ni a lamtawn.
52 and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Te long te Pilat a paan tih Jesuh kah rhok te a bih.
53 Then, taking it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet and laid it in a tomb in the rock, where no one else had yet been put.
Rhok te a hlak tih himbai neh a yen. Te phoeiah rhok te phuel lung khuiah a khueh. Tekah phuel ah aka yalh om hlan.
54 It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was near at hand.
Tedae khohnin tah rhuengphong la om tih Sabbath tom coeng.
55 The women--those who had come with Jesus from Galilee--followed close behind, and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
Te vaengah huta rhoek loh a hloem uh. Amih tah Galilee lamkah loh Jesuh aka puei la om uh tih phuel neh a rhok metla a khueh te a hmuh uh.
56 Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.
A bal uh vaengah bo-ul neh botui te a hmoel uh. Tedae Sabbath vaengah tah olpaek vanbangla duem uh.
