Luke 23
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
Acunüng ngbumki he ami van tho law u lü Jesuh Pilata veia cehpüi u lü,
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
“Hin naw, kami khyang he lam jah hma saki, kei Mesijah, sangpuxang ni ti lü Ketah sangpuxanga veia akhawn ä ngcawn vai ti se, kami ngjak,” tia ami mawm.
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
Pilat naw, “Judah hea sangpuxanga na kyaki aw?” ti lü kthäh se, Jesuh naw, “Ä, na pyena kba kya veng,” ti lü a msang.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
Acunüng Pilat naw ktaiyü ngvai he la khyang hea veia, “Hina khyanga khana mkhuimkhanak vai ia mkatnak am hmu veng,” a ti.
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
Cunsepi amimi naw “Kalile khaw üng tün lü, ahi düta Judah khaw avan üng jah mthei hü lü khyang avan jah kpyükpyeh hü bäihki,” tia, aksehlena ami pyen.
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
Pilat naw ngja lü “Hina khyang hin Kalile khyang aw?” ti lü a jah kthäh.
7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
Pilat naw Heroda uknaka khaw üngka ti a ksing üng Heroda veia a tüih be. Acunüng, Herod cun Jerusalema awmki.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
Herod naw Jesuh a hmu üng aktäa jekyaiki; isetiakyaküng a mawngma ngja lü ajandea a hmuh vai a ngaih, müncankse he a jah bilaw iyaw bawi ta a hmuh vai a büa phäha kyaki.
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
Ngthu khawjah a kthäh; cunsepi Jesuh naw i am pi am msang be.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
Acunüng ktaiyü ngvai he la thum ksing he naw ngdüi u lü aktäa a mi mkatei.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
Herod la a yekap he naw Jesuh hmumsit u lü yaiha pawh u lü jinu akyäp cang suisaki he naw Pilata veia ami tüih be.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
Acuna mhmüp üng Pilat la Herod ngpüi kyu naki xawi. Ajana ani püi ana hneng khawiki xawi.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Pilat naw ktaiyü ngvai he, angvai he la khyang he avan jah khü lü,
14 and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
“Khyang he lam jah hma saki ti u lü hin ka veia nami lawpüia kyaki; teng u, nami ma a katnak sui ni se nami mkata kba hina khana i a katnak am hmu veng;
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
Herod naw pi a katnak cang am hmu naw, a veia ka tüih päng; teng u, thihnak sen vaia i am pawh ve.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
“Acunakyase, kpai lü khyah be vang,” a ti.
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
Buhpawh pawi üng khyang mat jah mhlät pet khawia thum awmki.
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
Ami van atänga ngpyang u lü, “Hin hin hnim lü, Barabah jah mhlät pea,” ami ti.
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
Barabah cun mlüh k’uma ksuksaknak pawh lü khyang a hnima phäha thawngima khyuma kyaki.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
Pilat naw Jesuh a mhlät vai ngaih lü a jah kthäh be.
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
Cunsepi ngpyang u lü, “Kutlamktung üng taiha, Kutlamktung üng taiha,” ami ti.
22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
Pilat naw akthumnaka, “Ise ni? Hin naw ia katnak ni a pawh ve? Thihnak sen vai a khana i am hmu veng; acunakyase kpai lü khyah be vang,” a ti.
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
Cunsepi amimi naw angsang yea kutlamktung üng taih vaia amthuia mso u se, acunüng ami ngpyangnak am Pilat ami näng.
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
Acuna Pilat naw ami msoa kba Jesuh pawh vaia ngthu a jah pet.
25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
Suksaknak pawh lü khyang a hnima phäha thawngim üng kyumki ami kthäh jah khyah pe lü; Jesuh cun ami ngaih ngaiha ami pawh vaia a jah pet.
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
Jesuh ami cehpüi k'um üng, Karenih khaw üngka Sihmon naki ngnamca üngka naw lawki ami hmu üng, man u lü Jesuha hnua kutlamktung ami kawh sak.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
A hnua läki hea khyang khawjah üng Jesuh kyahki hea nghnumi avang awmki he.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Acun he Jesuh naw jah nghlat si lü, “Jerusalema canu he aw, kei am na kyah u lü nami mäta phäh la nami ca hea phäha kyap ua.
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
“Isetiakyaküng, ‘cingkia nghnumi ta a jo sen ve, na am pawinakia pum la na naw am a awk khawia cih ta a jo sen ve’ ami tinaka mhmüp pha law khai.
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
“Acunüng khawmcunga veia, ‘Jah sip lawa,’ khawngjung khawkawngea veia, ‘Jah mük lawa’ ti law khai he,
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
“Thing xünga veia pi hinkba ami ti üng akhyawnga veia ta ikba kya khai aw?” a ti.
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
Acunüng a veia khyangka nghngih ami jah hnim vaia ami jah cehpüi hnga.
33 When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
Acunüng luyuh hmün ami tinak ami pha law üng acuia a kpat lama mat, a k'eng lama mat, khyangka xawi am kutlamktung üng ami taih.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
Jesuh naw, “Ka Pa aw, jah mhläta; i ami pawh am ksing hei ve u,” a ti. Acunüng, a suisak he cung kphawng u lü ami jah ngpaiei.
35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
Khyang he naw ngdüi u lü ami tengei. Angvai he naw, “Khyang kce ta jah küikyan khawiki; Pamhnama a xü Mesijah kcang a ni üng amät pi ngküikyanei kyu se,” tia ami ksenak.
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
Yekap he naw pi yaiha ami pawh a veia capyit jukthui lawpüi u lü, peki he naw,
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
“Judah hea sangpuxanga na kya kcang üng, namät la namät ngküikyanei kyua,” ami ti.
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Acunüng a lu khana, “Hin hin, Judah hea sangpuxang ni,” tia ami taih.
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
Acunüng, khyangka mat, a peia ami taih naw pi, kse na lü, “Nang Mesijaha na kya üng, namät ngküikyanei kyu lü, keini pi jah küikyan lawa,” a ti.
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
Cunsepi, akce mat naw a jüinak am msang lü, “Mhnam ye pi am na kyühki aw? Atänga mkhuimkhanak mi khamei hmaih ye se,
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
ningni cun ni khamei kung khaia ni kyaki; ni katnaka phu däng ni hlawheiki ni; hin naw ia katnak am pawh naw,” a ti.
42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
“Jesuh aw, Sangpuxanga na law üng na sümeia,” a ti.
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Tuhngawi Paradaia ka hlawnga na ve khaia ning khyütam na veng,” a ti.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Acun cun mhmüp naji xaleinghngiha kya lü, mülam naji kthum cäpa nghngi am vai lü avan üng khaw nghmüp lawki.
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
Acunüng Temple üng jihnu, anglung üng nghngiha tek lawki.
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw angsanga, “Ka Pa aw, na kut üng ka ngmüimkhya ning pe veng,” a ti. Acun ti lü thiki.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
Acunüng, yekap ngvai naw acun a hmuh üng, “Hin hin akcanga khyang ngsungpyuna kya ve,” ti lü, Pamhnam mküimtoki.
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
Khyang avan acun tengei khaia lawki he, acuna awm ihe ami jah hmu üng ami mkyang kbei u lü puksetnak am cit beki he.
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
Acunüng, Kalile khaw üngka naw läk lawkia nghnumi he la Jesuh ksingki he avan, acun teng u lü, athuknaka ngdüiki he.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
Acunüng khyang mat Josep naki ngvainu, ngsungpyun lü dawki awmki.
51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
Ani cun Kawngci member kya lü pi ami pawhmsah ami bilawh he am jah ngaisimkia kyaki. Judah khaw, Arimahte khyanga kya lü, Pamhnama khaw a na ngak’uhei khawiki,
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
Pilata veia cit lü Jesuha yawk a kthäh.
53 He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
Jesuha yawk khya lü jih am hlawpki naw, u pi am ami k'uhnak khawia, ng’uhnün üng a k'uh.
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
Acunüng, acuna mhmüp cun kyawngkai amhmanaka kya lü Sabbath mhmüp pha law hlüki.
55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
Acunüng, Kalile khawa Jesuh läki nghnumi he cun Josep am atänga cit u lü, ng’uhnün la acunüng ikba Jesuha yawk ami tak cun tengki he.
56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Acunkäna nghlat be u lü, ng’uinghname la, situie jah pyang u lü thum naw a pyena kba Sabbath mhmüp üng xüieiki he.
