< Luke 23 >

1 And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,
And the whole assembly of them arose, and brought him to Pilatos.
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.'
And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha.
3 And Pilate questioned him, saying, 'Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, 'Thou dost say [it].'
But Pilatos asked him, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee? He saith to him, Thou hast said.
4 And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, 'I find no fault in this man;'
And Pilatos said to the chief priests and to the assembly, I find no occasion against this man.
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.'
But they cried out and said, He commoveth our people while he teacheth throughout all Jihud, beginning from Galila unto this place.
6 And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,
Pilatos, however, when he heard the name of Galila, asked if the man were a Galiloya.
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.
And when he knew that he was from the limit of the jurisdiction of Herodes, he sent him unto Herodes, because that in Urishlem he was in those days.
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,
And Herodes, when he saw Jeshu, was very glad; for he had desired to see him of a great time: for he had heard concerning him many things, and hoped that some sign he should see from him.
9 and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.
And many words he asked him; but Jeshu gave him no answer whatever.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,
And the chief priests and scribes stood and strenuously accused him.
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,
Then Herodes and his soldiers treated him as a fool; and when he had derided him, he dressed him in a robe of crimson, and sent him to Pilatos.
12 and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.
And in that day Pilatos and Herodes were friends with each other; for before there had been enmity between them.
13 And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
And Pilatos called the chief priests and the rulers of the people,
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;
and said to them, You have brought to me this man as a perverter of your people; and, behold, I have examined him in your sight, and have found no cause in this man of all that you accuse him:
15 no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;
nor also Herodes; for I sent him unto him, and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him:
16 having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.
17 for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
For a custom had he to release to them one at the festival.
18 and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, 'Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'
But all the multitude cried out, saying, Take this, and release to us Baraba;
19 who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
he who, for insurrection and murder which had been done in the city, had been thrown into the house of the chained.
20 Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,
But Pilatos spake with them again, being willing to release Jeshu.
21 but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify him.'
But they cried out, saying, Crucify him! Crucify him!
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].'
He the third time also said to them, Why, what evil hath this done? Cause whatever that is worthy of death, I find not in him: I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.
23 And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
But they were urgent with a high voice, demanding that they might crucify him; and theirs and the voices of the high priests prevailed.
24 and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
And Pilatos commanded that their requirement should be done.
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.
And he released to them him who, for insurrection and murder, had been thrown into the house of the chained, whom they had asked: but Jeshu he delivered to their will.
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.
AND as they led him away, they laid hold on Shemun Kurinoya, who was coming from the country, and they laid on him the cross, that he might bear (it) after Jeshu.
27 And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,
And there followed him much people, and those women who mourned and wailed for him.
28 and Jesus having turned unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;
And Jeshu turned to them, and said, Daughters of Urishlem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep, and for your children.
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;
For, behold, coming are the days in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts that have not suckled.
30 then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the heights, Cover us!
31 for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?'
For if to the tree which is good they do these things, unto the dry what shall be?
32 And there were also others — two evil-doers — with him, to be put to death;
And there went with him two others, workers of evil, to be put to death.
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.
And when they came to a certain place called Karkaphtha, there they crucified him, and those workers of evil, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
34 And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.
BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots.
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.'
But the people stood beholding, and the rulers also, mocking him, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if he be the Meshicha, the Chosen of God.
36 And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,
And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar,
37 and saying, 'If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'
said to him, If thou art the King of the Jihudoyee, save thyself.
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.'
And there was also an inscription which was written over him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JIHUDOYEE.
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.'
And one of those workers of evil who were hanged with him, blasphemed against him, saying, If thou art the Meshicha, deliver thyself, and deliver us also.
40 And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?
And his companion rebuked him, and said to him, Dost thou not fear (even) Aloha? for thou also art in this judgment.
41 and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'
And we righteously, forasmuch as we have been deserving, and as we are punished for that which we have done;
42 and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'
but this hath done nothing that is abominable. And he said to Jeshu, Remember me, my Lord, when thou art come into thy kingdom!
43 and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'
Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to thee, That to-day with me thou shalt be in Paradise.
44 And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,
NOW it was about six hours, and there was darkness over all the earth until nine hours.
45 and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,
And the sun darkened, and rent was the vail of the temple through the midst of it.
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.
And Jeshu cried with a high voice, and said, My Father, in thy hands I place my spirit. This he said, and completed.
47 And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'
But when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Aloha, saying, Assuredly this was a just man.
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;
And all the multitude, they who were assembled to see this, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting upon their breasts.
49 and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.
And there were standing afar off all the acquaintances of Jeshu, and those women who came with him from Galila; and they saw these things.
50 And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,
BUT a certain man, whose name was Jauseph, a senator from Rometha, a city of Jehud, a man (who) was good and just:
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,
(this had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; and he was waiting for the kingdom of Aloha: )
52 he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,
this approached Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu;
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.
and he took it down, and wrapped it in a cloth of linen, and laid it in a hewn sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.
54 And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,
And it was the day of the preparation; and the shabath had lighted.
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,
And the women also drew near, they who had come with him from Galila; and they saw the sepulchre, and where the body was laid;
56 and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
and, returned, they prepared balsams and aromatics, and on the shabath rested, as it is commanded.
