Matthew 27
1 Kitia phojur hoise, sob moha purohit khan aru bura khan mili kene Jisu ke morai dibole kotha milai thakise.
Very early the next morning all the chief priests and Jewish elders decided how [to arrange for the Romans] to execute Jesus.
2 Taikhan Jisu ke bandi kene loi jaise, aru Governor Pilate laga hathte dise.
They tied his hands and took him to Pilate, the [Roman] governor.
3 Etu pichete Judas, jun pora Jisu ke thogaise, Jisu ke bodnam kora dikhise, aru tai mon ghurai kene trista chandi laga sikka moha purohit khan aru bura khan ke eneka koi kene wapas kori dise,
When Judas, the one who had (betrayed/enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize) him, realized that they had decided to have Jesus executed, he was very sorry [about what he had done]. He took the 30 coins back to the chief priests and elders.
4 “Moi ekjon eku golti nathaka laga khun ke thogai dise.” Kintu taikhan koise, “Utu ki ase amikhan nimite? Nijor pora sai lobi.”
He said, “I have sinned. I have (betrayed/enabled you to seize) a man who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong).” They replied, “(That means nothing to us!/What does that mean to us?) [RHQ] That is your problem!”
5 Titia tai chandi laga sikka khan mondoli te phelai dise, aru bahar te ulai jai kene nijorke fansi lagai kene mori jaise.
So Judas [took] the money [and] threw it inside the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 Titia moha purohit khan chandi laga sikka khan loi kene koise, “Etu chandi laga sikka khan tijori te rakhibole niyom nai, kelemane etu sikka khun laga daam te diya hoise.”
[Later] the high priests [found] the coins. They picked them up and said, “This is money that we paid [to have a man killed] [MTY], and our law does not allow [such money] to be put {us to put [such money]} into the [Temple treasury].”
7 Taikhan sob eke logote mili kene kotha korise aru etu poisa loi kene mati kinise aru etu jaga to nachina manu khan laga kobor nimite rakhise.
So they decided to use that money to buy the field where clay was dug for making pots {men dug ground for making pots}. [They made that field] a place where they buried strangers [who died in Jerusalem].
8 Etu karone, aji tak etu mati ke, “Khun laga Kheti” koi kene rakhi ase.
That is why that place is still called {why they still call that place} ‘The field of blood’.
9 Jeremiah bhabobadi pora ki kotha koi disele etu sob purah hoi jaise, “Taikhan trista chandi laga sikka loise, aru Israel laga bacha khan pora tai uporte etu daam rakhidise,
[By buying that field], they fulfilled these words that the prophet Jeremiah wrote [long ago]: They took the 30 silver coins; That was what the leaders of Israel decided [that he was worth];
10 aru taikhan etu loi kene mati kini loise, Probhu pora jineka moike koi diya nisena.”
and with that money they bought the field where clay was dug for potters. They did that as the Lord had commanded me.
11 Titia Jisu Governor usorte khara korise aru tai pora Jisu ke hudise, eneka koi kene, “Apuni Yehudi khan laga Raja ase naki?” Jisu taike jowab dise, “Apuni he koise.”
Jesus stood in front of [Pilate], the governor. The governor asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “[It is] as you have [just] said.”
12 Kintu jitia moha purohit aru bura khan pora Jisu ke doshi dise, Tai eku jowab diya nai.
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders {When the chief priests and elders accused him} about various things, he did not answer.
13 Etu pichete Pilate Jisu ke koise, “Apuni uporte bodnam khan ani kene diya to Apuni huna nai naki?
So Pilate said to him, “You hear how many things they are saying to accuse you; [are you not going to reply]?”
14 Kintu Jisu taike jowab diya nai, Taike bodnam kora khan ke bhi, titia Governor etu dikhi kene bisi asurit lagise.
But [even though he was not guilty], Jesus did not say anything. He did not reply to any of the things about which they were accusing him. As a result, the governor was very surprised.
15 Etiya dangor kha luwa laga niyom hisab te manu khan nimite Governor pora taikhan ke bondhi ghor pora chari dibole mon kore taikhan basi lobo pare.
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison]. [He released] whichever prisoner the people wanted.
16 Etu somoite taikhan logote ekjon bisi biya koidi Barabbas koi kene thakise.
At that time there was [in Jerusalem] a well-known prisoner whose name was Barabbas.
17 Jitia taikhan sob eke logote joma hoise, Pilate taikhan ke koise, “Tumikhan nimite kunke chari dibo? Barabbas na Jisu junke Khrista mate?”
So when the crowd gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which [prisoner] would you like me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus, whom [some of you] claim to be the Messiah?”
18 Kilekoile Pilate jani thakise taikhan Jisu ke ghin kora nimite tai laga hathte dise.
[He asked that question] because he realized that the chief priests [wanted to have Jesus executed]. They had brought Jesus to him [only] because they were jealous of Jesus. [And Pilate thought that the crowd would prefer that he release Jesus].
19 Kintu jitia tai bisar kora jagate bohi thakise, tai laga maiki pora kotha pathai kene koise, “Etu golti nathaka manu logote eku na koribi, kelemane moi aji Jisu laga sapna dikhi kene bisi dukh pai ase.”
While Pilate was sitting on the platform [where he made] judicial [decisions], his wife sent him [this message]: “Early this morning I had a bad dream because of that man. So do not condemn that righteous man!”
20 Titia mukhyo purohit khan aru bura khan pora ta te joma thaka manu khan ke Barabbas ke chari dibole nimite koise, aru bodli te Jisu ke morai dibole mangise.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask [Pilate to] release Barabbas, and to [order] that Jesus be executed {that [his soldiers] execute Jesus}.
21 Titia governor pora jowab dikene taikhan ke koise, “Etu duijon majot te moi pora junke kunke chari dibole tumikhan laga itcha ase?” Taikhan koise, “Barabbas.”
So when the governor asked them, “Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?” They replied, “Barabbas!”
22 Pilate taikhan ke koise, “Tinehoile moi etu Jisu kun Khrista ase koi tai logote ki koribo?” Taikhan sob jowab dise, “Taike Cross te morai dibi.”
Pilate, [very astonished], asked, “So what shall I do with Jesus who [some of you] say is the Messiah?” They all answered, “[Command that] he be crucified! {[Command your soldiers] (to crucify him/to nail him to a cross)}!”
23 Titia tai koise, “Kile, Tai ki laga golti kaam korise?” Kintu taikhan jor pora hala kori kene koise, “Taike Cross te mari dibi.”
Pilate replied, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Have] him crucified {[Command that your soldiers] crucify him}!”
24 Jitia Pilate dikhise tai aru eku kori bole napara hoise, aru manu khan pora dangor jhagara ulai dibo koi kene jani loise, etu pora tai manu khan usorte hath dhulaise aru koise, “Etu manu laga khun nimite moi laga eku golti nai, tumikhan nijor pora he sai lobi.”
Pilate realized that he was accomplishing nothing. He saw that instead, the people were starting to riot. So he took [a basin of] water and washed his hands as the crowd was watching. He said, “[By washing my hands I am showing you that] if this man dies [MTY], it is [your] fault, [not mine]!”
25 Sob manu khan jowab dikene koise, “Tai laga khun to amikhan aru amikhan laga bacha khan uporte ahibole dibi.”
And all the people answered, “The guilt for causing him to die [MTY] will be on us, and it will be on our children, too!”
26 Titia Barabbas ke taikhan nimite chari dise kintu tai Jisu ke mari kene dukh diya pichete Taike Cross te morai dibo khan nimite di dise.
Then he [ordered the soldiers to] release Barabbas for them. But he [ordered that his soldiers] flog Jesus. And then he turned Jesus over to the soldiers for them (to nail Jesus to a cross/to crucify him).
27 Titia Governor laga sipahi khan Jisu ke Governor logote loi jaise jun jagate sipahi khan joma kori kene thakise.
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the government headquarters. The whole (cohort/group of soldiers) gathered around him.
28 Taikhan Jisu laga kapra ulai dise aru sundur rong laga kapra Taike pindhai dise.
They pulled off [his clothes], and [pretending he was a king, they] put a purple robe on him.
29 Aru kata laga mukut bonaikena Tai laga matha te lagai dise aru dyna hathte ekta lathi dhori bole dise.
They [took some branches with] thorns and wove them to make a crown and put it on his head. They put in his right hand a reed [like a staff that a king would hold]. Then they knelt in front of him and made fun of him, saying, “Hooray for the king of the Jews [IRO]!”
30 Taikhan Jisu usorte athukari loise aru taike sorom khilai dise, aru matha te mari dikene eneka koise, “Hey Yehudi laga Raja!”
They kept spitting on him. They took the staff and kept striking him on the head with it.
31 Jitia taikhan Jisu ke sorom khilai dise, taikhan kapra ulai loise aru tai laga nijor kapra aru lagai dise, aru Cross te mari dibole nimite loi jaise.
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to [the place where they] would nail him to a cross.
32 Jitia taikhan bahar te ulai ahise, ekjon Cyrene sheher pora Simon koi kene paise, junke taikhan Cross bukhi bole dise.
[After Jesus carried his cross] a short distance, [the soldiers] saw a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city]. They forced him to carry the cross for Jesus.
33 Taikhan Golgotha koi kene ekta jagate ahise, etu motlob to “Matha Laga Hardi Jaga.”
They came to a place called Golgotha. That name means ‘the place [like] a skull’.
34 Taikhan Jisu ke dawai milai kene thaka draikha ros khabole dise. Kintu jitia Tai etu jiba te chati saise, Tai etu khabo para nai.
When [they got there], they mixed with wine something that tasted very bitter. They gave it to [Jesus] to drink [so that he would not feel so much pain when they nailed him on the cross]. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it. [Some soldiers took his clothes].
35 Jitia taikhan Jisu ke Cross te mari dise, taikhan Jisu laga kapra khan chithi khili kene bhag kori loise,
Then they nailed him to the cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with something like dice [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
36 aru taikhan ta te bohi kene Jisu ke rukhi thakise.
Then the soldiers sat down there to guard him, [to prevent anyone from trying to rescue him].
37 Aru Jisu laga matha uporte taikhan eneka likhi dise, “Etu Jisu ase, Yehudi jati laga Raja.”
They fastened [to the cross] above Jesus’ head a [sign on which had been] {[they had]} written why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all] it said was, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews’.
38 Etu pichete utu duita chor ke Jisu logote Cross te mari dise, ekjon Tai laga dyna phale aru ekjon ke Tai laga baya phale.
Two bandits were also nailed {They also nailed two bandits} on crosses. One was nailed to a cross on the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross on the left side.
39 Jun manu etu paar kori kene jai taikhan Jisu ke dikhi kene sorom khilai diye aru taikhan laga matha hilai kene hath milai,
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads [as if he were an evil man].
40 aru eneka koi kene, “Tumi jun Isor laga mondoli ke bhangai kene tin din pichete bonai dibo thakise, nijorke bachabi! Jodi Tumi Isor laga Putro ase koile, Cross pora namikene ahibi!”
They said, “You [said you] would destroy the Temple, and then you would build it again within three days! [So if you could do that], you [should be able to] save yourself! If you are the man who is also God (OR, If you are the Son of God), come down from the cross!”
41 Etu nisena moha purohit khan bhi Jisu ke sorom khilai dise, aru taikhan logote niyom jana manu aru cholawta khan bhi thakise, aru koise,
Similarly, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the elders made fun of him. [Various ones of them] said things like,
42 “Tai dusra manu khan ke bachai dise, kintu Nijorke bacha bole para nai. Tai Israel desh laga Raja ase. Taike Cross pora namikene ahibo dibi, aru etu pichete amikhan Taike biswas koribo.
“He [claims that he] saved others [IRO] [from their sicknesses], but he cannot help himself!” “He [says that he] is [IRO] the King of Israel. So he should come down from the cross. Then we would believe him!”
43 Tai Isor ke biswas kore, Isor ke Taike bacha bole dibi etiya, jodi Isor Taike lage koile. Kile mane Tai koise, ‘Moi Isor laga Putro ase.’”
“He [says that he] trusts in God, and that he is the man who is also God. So if God is pleased with him, God should rescue him now!”
44 Etu nisena chor duita jun Jisu logote Cross te mari dise, tai bhi Jisu ke sorom khilai diya laga kotha koise.
And the [two] bandits who had been crucified with him also insulted him, saying similar things.
45 Aru jitia choi ghanta hoise pura desh te andhera ahi jaise aru pura nou ghanta nohua tak andhera thakise.
At noon it became dark over the whole land. [It stayed dark] until three o’clock [in the afternoon].
46 Jitia tin baji hoise, Jisu ekdom jor pora eneka koi kene kandise, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” Etu mane, “Ami laga Isor, Ami laga Isor, Apuni kele Moike chari dise?”
At about three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That means, ‘My God, my God, why have you deserted me?’
47 Jitia ta te khara kori thaka manu khan etu kotha hunise, taikhan koise, “Tai Elijah ke mati ase.”
When some of the people standing there heard [the word ‘Eli’, misunderstanding it], they said, “He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
48 Titia ekjon manu polai jai kene norom kapra te tenga ros pani pora bhorta hoi kene thaka loi kene anise, aru ekta lamba ghar laga khuri te lagase, aru taike dikene Jisu ke khila bole dise.
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with sour wine. Then he put the sponge on [the tip of] a reed and [held it up in order that Jesus] could suck out [the wine that was in it].
49 Ta te thaka manu khan pora koise, “Taike ekla chari di bhi. Moi khan sabo jodi Elijah ahikena Taike bachai na nai.”
But the other [people there] said, “Wait! Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him!”
50 Etu pichete Jisu aru bhi hala kori kene jor pora kandise aru Tai laga atma ke chari dise.
Then after Jesus shouted out loudly again, he died, giving his spirit over [to God].
51 Etu somoite, mondoli laga purdah upor pora loi kene niche tak dui bhag hoi kene phatise, aru matise, aru pathor khan bhi bhangi kene adha hoi jaise.
At that moment the [heavy thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God]. The earth shook, and [some large] rocks split open.
52 Aru Isor laga manu kunkhan ghumai jaise, taikhan laga kobor khuli jaise aru taikhan uthijaise.
[Some] tombs opened up, and the bodies of many godly people who had died became alive again.
53 Taikhan Jisu jinda huwa pichete kobor pora ulaikene ahise, pobitro sheher Jerusalem te ghusi se, aru bisi manu ke dikhai dise.
They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus became alive again, they went into Jerusalem and appeared to many people [there].
54 Aru jitia sipahi aru kun tai logote thaki kene Jisu ke sai thakise, mati hila aru ki hoise etu dikhise, taikhan bisi bhoi lagise aru koise, “Hosa pora etu manu to Isor laga Putro thakise.”
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross was standing nearby]. His soldiers who had been on guard [so that no one would rescue] Jesus [were also there]. When they [felt] the earthquake and saw all the [other] things that happened, they were terrified. They exclaimed, “Truly he was both man and God! (OR, a Son of God).”
55 Aru bisi maiki khan jun Jisu laga pichete Galilee pora berai thakisele taikhan ta te thakise aru dur pora Jisu ke sai thakise.
Many women were there, watching from a distance. They were women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee [district] in order to provide the things he needed.
56 Taikhan majote Mary Magdalene, Joseph aru James laga ama Mary, aru Zebedee laga chokra khan laga ama bhi thakise.
Among these women were Mary from Magdala [town], [another] Mary who was the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John.
57 Jitia saam hoise, ekjon dhuni manu Joseph koi kene Arimathea bosti pora ahise, tai bhi Jisu laga chela thakisele.
When it was [almost] evening, a rich man named Joseph came [there]. He was from Arimathea [town]. He also was a disciple of Jesus.
58 Tai Pilate usorte jai kene Jisu laga gaw to mangise. Etu pichete Pilate pora hukum dikene taike dise.
He then went to Pilate and asked Pilate to [allow him to take] the body of Jesus [and bury it]. Pilate ordered that [he] be allowed to {[his soldiers] let [Joseph]} take [the body].
59 Aru Joseph pora Jisu laga gaw to loise, aru mihin kapra pora bandhi dise.
So Joseph [and others] took the body and wrapped it in a clean white cloth.
60 Aru tai nijor laga notun kobor te rakhidise, juntu tai pathor kati kene rakhi thakisele. Etu pichete tai ekta dangor chaka nisena pathor pora kobor to bondh kori dise aru tai jai jaise.
Then they placed it in Joseph’s own new tomb that had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. They rolled a huge [circular flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb. Then they left.
61 Mary Magdalene aru dusra Mary bhi ta te thakise, kobor laga utu phale bohi thakise.
Mary from Magdala and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb, [watching].
62 Dusra din, juntu din to Taiyar Kora din pichete thakise, maha purohit khan aru Pharisee khan eke logote Pilate usorte joma hoi kene thakise.
The next day was Saturday, the Jewish day of rest. The chief priests and [some of] the Pharisees went to Pilate.
63 Taikhan koise, “Sahab, amikhan yaad ase jitia utu thogai diya manu jinda thaka somoite, tai koise, ‘Tin din pichete moi jinda hobo.’
They said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive, he said, ‘Three days after I [die I] will become alive again.’
64 Etu karone hukum dibi, tin din tak etu kobor to bhal kori kene pehera dibole nimite, nohoile Tai laga chela khan ahikena chor kori loijabo, aru manu khan ke kobo, ‘Tai mora pora jinda hoi jaise.’ Aru poila pora bhi etiya laga kotha to bisi hoi jabo.”
So we ask you to order that the tomb be guarded {that [soldiers] guard the tomb} for three days. If you do not do that, his disciples may come and steal the body. Then they will tell people that he has risen from the dead. If they deceive [people by saying that], it will be worse than the way he deceived people before [by saying that he was the Messiah].”
65 Pilate taikhan ke koise, “Ekjon sipahi ke lobi. Jabi aru tumi kineka pora pehera lagabo paribo, etu nisena koribi.”
Pilate replied, “You [can] take some soldiers. Go to the tomb and make it as secure as you know how.”
66 Titia taikhan jai kene kobor ke bhal pora pehera dise, pathor te mohor marikena sipahi khan ke rukhibo dise.
So they went and made the tomb secure by [fastening a cord from] the stone [that was in front of the entrance to the rock cliff on each side] and sealing it. They also [left some soldiers there to] guard [the tomb].
