Luke 23
1 Then the whole assembly rose and brought Him to Pilate, and began to accuse Him.
tataḥ sabhāsthāḥ sarvvalokā utthāya taṁ pīlātasammukhaṁ nītvāprodya vaktumārebhire,
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."
svamabhiṣiktaṁ rājānaṁ vadantaṁ kaimararājāya karadānaṁ niṣedhantaṁ rājyaviparyyayaṁ kurttuṁ pravarttamānam ena prāptā vayaṁ|
3 Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied.
tadā pīlātastaṁ pṛṣṭavān tvaṁ kiṁ yihūdīyānāṁ rājā? sa pratyuvāca tvaṁ satyamuktavān|
4 Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man."
tadā pīlātaḥ pradhānayājakādilokān jagād, ahametasya kamapyaparādhaṁ nāptavān|
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."
tataste punaḥ sāhamino bhūtvāvadan, eṣa gālīla etatsthānaparyyante sarvvasmin yihūdādeśe sarvvāllokānupadiśya kupravṛttiṁ grāhītavān|
6 On hearing this, Pilate inquired, "Is this man a Galilaean?"
tadā pīlāto gālīlapradeśasya nāma śrutvā papraccha, kimayaṁ gālīlīyo lokaḥ?
7 And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time.
tataḥ sa gālīlpradeśīyaherodrājasya tadā sthitestasya samīpe yīśuṁ preṣayāmāsa|
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.
tadā herod yīśuṁ vilokya santutoṣa, yataḥ sa tasya bahuvṛttāntaśravaṇāt tasya kiñicadāścaryyakarmma paśyati ityāśāṁ kṛtvā bahukālamārabhya taṁ draṣṭuṁ prayāsaṁ kṛtavān|
9 So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply.
tasmāt taṁ bahukathāḥ papraccha kintu sa tasya kasyāpi vākyasya pratyuttaraṁ novāca|
10 Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him.
atha pradhānayājakā adhyāpakāśca prottiṣṭhantaḥ sāhasena tamapavadituṁ prārebhire|
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 tasya senāgaṇaśca tamavajñāya upahāsatvena rājavastraṁ paridhāpya punaḥ pīlātaṁ prati taṁ prāhiṇot|
12 And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.
pūrvvaṁ herodpīlātayoḥ parasparaṁ vairabhāva āsīt kintu taddine dvayo rmelanaṁ jātam|
13 Then calling together the High Priests and the Rulers and the people, Pilate said,
paścāt pīlātaḥ pradhānayājakān śāsakān lokāṁśca yugapadāhūya babhāṣe,
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.
rājyaviparyyayakārakoyam ityuktvā manuṣyamenaṁ mama nikaṭamānaiṣṭa kintu paśyata yuṣmākaṁ samakṣam asya vicāraṁ kṛtvāpi proktāpavādānurūpeṇāsya kopyaparādhaḥ sapramāṇo na jātaḥ,
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.
yūyañca herodaḥ sannidhau preṣitā mayā tatrāsya kopyaparādhastenāpi na prāptaḥ|paśyatānena vadhahetukaṁ kimapi nāparāddhaṁ|
16 I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
tasmādenaṁ tāḍayitvā vihāsyāmi|
tatrotsave teṣāmeko mocayitavyaḥ|
18 Then the whole multitude burst out into a shout. "Away with this man," they said, "and release Barabbas to us"
iti hetoste proccairekadā procuḥ, enaṁ dūrīkṛtya barabbānāmānaṁ mocaya|
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.
sa barabbā nagara upaplavavadhāparādhābhyāṁ kārāyāṁ baddha āsīt|
20 But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.
kintu pīlāto yīśuṁ mocayituṁ vāñchan punastānuvāca|
21 They, however, persistently shouted, "Crucify, crucify him!"
tathāpyenaṁ kruśe vyadha kruśe vyadheti vadantaste ruruvuḥ|
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."
tataḥ sa tṛtīyavāraṁ jagāda kutaḥ? sa kiṁ karmma kṛtavān? nāhamasya kamapi vadhāparādhaṁ prāptaḥ kevalaṁ tāḍayitvāmuṁ tyajāmi|
23 But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.
tathāpi te punarenaṁ kruśe vyadha ityuktvā proccairdṛḍhaṁ prārthayāñcakrire;
24 So Pilate gave judgement, yielding to their demand.
tataḥ pradhānayājakādīnāṁ kalarave prabale sati teṣāṁ prārthanārūpaṁ karttuṁ pīlāta ādideśa|
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.
rājadrohavadhayoraparādhena kārāsthaṁ yaṁ janaṁ te yayācire taṁ mocayitvā yīśuṁ teṣāmicchāyāṁ samārpayat|
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.
atha te yīśuṁ gṛhītvā yānti, etarhi grāmādāgataṁ śimonanāmānaṁ kurīṇīyaṁ janaṁ dhṛtvā yīśoḥ paścānnetuṁ tasya skandhe kruśamarpayāmāsuḥ|
27 A vast crowd of the people also followed Him, and of women who were beating their breasts and wailing for Him.
tato lokāraṇyamadhye bahustriyo rudatyo vilapantyaśca yīśoḥ paścād yayuḥ|
28 But Jesus turned towards them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
kintu sa vyāghuṭya tā uvāca, he yirūśālamo nāryyo yuyaṁ madarthaṁ na ruditvā svārthaṁ svāpatyārthañca ruditi;
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.'
paśyata yaḥ kadāpi garbhavatyo nābhavan stanyañca nāpāyayan tādṛśī rvandhyā yadā dhanyā vakṣyanti sa kāla āyāti|
30 Then will they begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us;' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
tadā he śailā asmākamupari patata, he upaśailā asmānācchādayata kathāmīdṛśīṁ lokā vakṣyanti|
31 For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?"
yataḥ satejasi śākhini cedetad ghaṭate tarhi śuṣkaśākhini kiṁ na ghaṭiṣyate?
32 They brought also two others, criminals, to put them to death with Him.
tadā te hantuṁ dvāvaparādhinau tena sārddhaṁ ninyuḥ|
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.
aparaṁ śiraḥkapālanāmakasthānaṁ prāpya taṁ kruśe vividhuḥ; taddvayoraparādhinorekaṁ tasya dakṣiṇo tadanyaṁ vāme kruśe vividhuḥ|
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;
tadā yīśurakathayat, he pitaretān kṣamasva yata ete yat karmma kurvvanti tan na viduḥ; paścātte guṭikāpātaṁ kṛtvā tasya vastrāṇi vibhajya jagṛhuḥ|
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."
tatra lokasaṁghastiṣṭhan dadarśa; te teṣāṁ śāsakāśca tamupahasya jagaduḥ, eṣa itarān rakṣitavān yadīśvareṇābhirucito 'bhiṣiktastrātā bhavati tarhi svamadhunā rakṣatu|
36 And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering Him sour wine and saying,
tadanyaḥ senāgaṇā etya tasmai amlarasaṁ datvā parihasya provāca,
37 "Are you the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!"
cettvaṁ yihūdīyānāṁ rājāsi tarhi svaṁ rakṣa|
38 There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
yihūdīyānāṁ rājeti vākyaṁ yūnānīyaromīyebrīyākṣarai rlikhitaṁ tacchirasa ūrddhve'sthāpyata|
39 Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him, saying, "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us."
tadobhayapārśvayo rviddhau yāvaparādhinau tayorekastaṁ vinindya babhāṣe, cettvam abhiṣiktosi tarhi svamāvāñca rakṣa|
40 But the other, answering, reproved him. "Do you also not fear God," he said, "when you are actually suffering the same punishment?
kintvanyastaṁ tarjayitvāvadat, īśvarāttava kiñcidapi bhayaṁ nāsti kiṁ? tvamapi samānadaṇḍosi,
41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss."
yogyapātre āvāṁ svasvakarmmaṇāṁ samucitaphalaṁ prāpnuvaḥ kintvanena kimapi nāparāddhaṁ|
42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your Kingdom."
atha sa yīśuṁ jagāda he prabhe bhavān svarājyapraveśakāle māṁ smaratu|
43 "I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise."
tadā yīśuḥ kathitavān tvāṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi tvamadyaiva mayā sārddhaṁ paralokasya sukhasthānaṁ prāpsyasi|
44 It was now about noon, and a darkness came over the whole country till three o'clock in the afternoon.
aparañca dvitīyayāmāt tṛtīyayāmaparyyantaṁ ravestejasontarhitatvāt sarvvadeśo'ndhakāreṇāvṛto
45 The sun was darkened, and the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn down the middle,
mandirasya yavanikā ca chidyamānā dvidhā babhūva|
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.
tato yīśuruccairuvāca, he pita rmamātmānaṁ tava kare samarpaye, ityuktvā sa prāṇān jahau|
47 The Captain, seeing what had happened, gave glory to God, saying, "Beyond question this man was innocent."
tadaitā ghaṭanā dṛṣṭvā śatasenāpatirīśvaraṁ dhanyamuktvā kathitavān ayaṁ nitāntaṁ sādhumanuṣya āsīt|
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.
atha yāvanto lokā draṣṭum āgatāste tā ghaṭanā dṛṣṭvā vakṣaḥsu karāghātaṁ kṛtvā vyācuṭya gatāḥ|
49 But all His acquaintances, and the women who had been His followers after leaving Galilee, continued standing at a distance and looking on.
yīśo rjñātayo yā yā yoṣitaśca gālīlastena sārddhamāyātāstā api dūre sthitvā tat sarvvaṁ dadṛśuḥ|
50 There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,
tadā yihūdīyānāṁ mantraṇāṁ kriyāñcāsammanyamāna īśvarasya rājatvam apekṣamāṇo
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,
yihūdideśīyo 'rimathīyanagarīyo yūṣaphnāmā mantrī bhadro dhārmmikaśca pumān
52 and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
pīlātāntikaṁ gatvā yīśo rdehaṁ yayāce|
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.
paścād vapuravarohya vāsasā saṁveṣṭya yatra kopi mānuṣo nāsthāpyata tasmin śaile svāte śmaśāne tadasthāpayat|
54 It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was near at hand.
taddinamāyojanīyaṁ dinaṁ viśrāmavāraśca samīpaḥ|
55 The women--those who had come with Jesus from Galilee--followed close behind, and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
aparaṁ yīśunā sārddhaṁ gālīla āgatā yoṣitaḥ paścāditvā śmaśāne tatra yathā vapuḥ sthāpitaṁ tacca dṛṣṭvā
56 Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.
vyāghuṭya sugandhidravyatailāni kṛtvā vidhivad viśrāmavāre viśrāmaṁ cakruḥ|
