Luke 23
1 And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,
Acunüng ngbumki he ami van tho law u lü Jesuh Pilata veia cehpüi u lü,
2 and began to accuse him, saying, 'This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be 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 And Pilate questioned him, saying, 'Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, 'Thou dost say [it].'
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 And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, 'I find no fault in 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 and they were the more urgent, saying — 'He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea — having begun from Galilee — unto 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 And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,
Pilat naw ngja lü “Hina khyang hin Kalile khyang aw?” ti lü a jah kthäh.
7 and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.
Pilat naw Heroda uknaka khaw üngka ti a ksing üng Heroda veia a tüih be. Acunüng, Herod cun Jerusalema awmki.
8 And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long [time] to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see 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 and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.
Ngthu khawjah a kthäh; cunsepi Jesuh naw i am pi am msang be.
10 And 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 and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send 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 and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.
Acuna mhmüp üng Pilat la Herod ngpüi kyu naki xawi. Ajana ani püi ana hneng khawiki xawi.
13 And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
Pilat naw ktaiyü ngvai he, angvai he la khyang he avan jah khü lü,
14 said unto them, 'Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against 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 no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having 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 having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
“Acunakyase, kpai lü khyah be vang,” a ti.
17 for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
Buhpawh pawi üng khyang mat jah mhlät pet khawia thum awmki.
18 and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, 'Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'
Ami van atänga ngpyang u lü, “Hin hin hnim lü, Barabah jah mhlät pea,” ami ti.
19 who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
Barabah cun mlüh k’uma ksuksaknak pawh lü khyang a hnima phäha thawngima khyuma kyaki.
20 Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,
Pilat naw Jesuh a mhlät vai ngaih lü a jah kthäh be.
21 but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify him.'
Cunsepi ngpyang u lü, “Kutlamktung üng taiha, Kutlamktung üng taiha,” ami ti.
22 And he a third time said unto them, 'Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will 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 And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
Cunsepi amimi naw angsang yea kutlamktung üng taih vaia amthuia mso u se, acunüng ami ngpyangnak am Pilat ami näng.
24 and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
Acuna Pilat naw ami msoa kba Jesuh pawh vaia ngthu a jah pet.
25 and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave 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 And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear [it] behind 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 And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,
A hnua läki hea khyang khawjah üng Jesuh kyahki hea nghnumi avang awmki he.
28 and Jesus having turned unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, 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, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;
“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 shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —
“Acunüng khawmcunga veia, ‘Jah sip lawa,’ khawngjung khawkawngea veia, ‘Jah mük lawa’ ti law khai he,
31 for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?'
“Thing xünga veia pi hinkba ami ti üng akhyawnga veia ta ikba kya khai aw?” a ti.
32 And there were also others — two evil-doers — with him, to be put to death;
Acunüng a veia khyangka nghngih ami jah hnim vaia ami jah cehpüi hnga.
33 and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one 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 And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.
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 And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'
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 And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,
Yekap he naw pi yaiha ami pawh a veia capyit jukthui lawpüi u lü, peki he naw,
37 and saying, 'If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'
“Judah hea sangpuxanga na kya kcang üng, namät la namät ngküikyanei kyua,” ami ti.
38 And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, 'This is the King of the Jews.'
Acunüng a lu khana, “Hin hin, Judah hea sangpuxang ni,” tia ami taih.
39 And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, 'If thou be the Christ, save thyself 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 And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?
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 righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'
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 and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'
“Jesuh aw, Sangpuxanga na law üng na sümeia,” a ti.
43 and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'
Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Tuhngawi Paradaia ka hlawnga na ve khaia ning khyütam na veng,” a ti.
44 And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,
Acun cun mhmüp naji xaleinghngiha kya lü, mülam naji kthum cäpa nghngi am vai lü avan üng khaw nghmüp lawki.
45 and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,
Acunüng Temple üng jihnu, anglung üng nghngiha tek lawki.
46 and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, 'Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw angsanga, “Ka Pa aw, na kut üng ka ngmüimkhya ning pe veng,” a ti. Acun ti lü thiki.
47 And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'
Acunüng, yekap ngvai naw acun a hmuh üng, “Hin hin akcanga khyang ngsungpyuna kya ve,” ti lü, Pamhnam mküimtoki.
48 and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;
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 and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.
Acunüng, Kalile khaw üngka naw läk lawkia nghnumi he la Jesuh ksingki he avan, acun teng u lü, athuknaka ngdüiki he.
50 And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,
Acunüng khyang mat Josep naki ngvainu, ngsungpyun lü dawki awmki.
51 — he was not consenting to their counsel and deed — from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,
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 he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,
Pilata veia cit lü Jesuha yawk a kthäh.
53 and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.
Jesuha yawk khya lü jih am hlawpki naw, u pi am ami k'uhnak khawia, ng’uhnün üng a k'uh.
54 And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,
Acunüng, acuna mhmüp cun kyawngkai amhmanaka kya lü Sabbath mhmüp pha law hlüki.
55 and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,
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 and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
Acunkäna nghlat be u lü, ng’uinghname la, situie jah pyang u lü thum naw a pyena kba Sabbath mhmüp üng xüieiki he.
