1 tataH sabhAsthAH sarvvalokA utthAya taM pIlAtasammukhaM nItvAprodya vaktumArebhire,
And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,
2 svamabhiShiktaM rAjAnaM vadantaM kaimararAjAya karadAnaM niShedhantaM rAjyaviparyyayaM kurttuM pravarttamAnam ena prAptA vayaM|
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.'
3 tadA pIlAtastaM pR^iShTavAn tvaM kiM yihUdIyAnAM rAjA? sa pratyuvAcha tvaM satyamuktavAn|
And Pilate questioned him, saying, 'Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, 'Thou dost say [it].'
4 tadA pIlAtaH pradhAnayAjakAdilokAn jagAd, ahametasya kamapyaparAdhaM nAptavAn|
And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, 'I find no fault in this man;'
5 tataste punaH sAhamino bhUtvAvadan, eSha gAlIla etatsthAnaparyyante sarvvasmin yihUdAdeshe sarvvAllokAnupadishya kupravR^ittiM grAhItavAn|
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.'
6 tadA pIlAto gAlIlapradeshasya nAma shrutvA paprachCha, kimayaM gAlIlIyo lokaH?
And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,
7 tataH sa gAlIlpradeshIyaherodrAjasya tadA sthitestasya samIpe yIshuM preShayAmAsa|
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.
8 tadA herod yIshuM vilokya santutoSha, yataH sa tasya bahuvR^ittAntashravaNAt tasya ki nichadAshcharyyakarmma pashyati ityAshAM kR^itvA bahukAlamArabhya taM draShTuM prayAsaM kR^itavAn|
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,
9 tasmAt taM bahukathAH paprachCha kintu sa tasya kasyApi vAkyasya pratyuttaraM novAcha|
and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.
10 atha pradhAnayAjakA adhyApakAshcha prottiShThantaH sAhasena tamapavadituM prArebhire|
And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,
11 herod tasya senAgaNashcha tamavaj nAya upahAsatvena rAjavastraM paridhApya punaH pIlAtaM prati taM prAhiNot|
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,
12 pUrvvaM herodpIlAtayoH parasparaM vairabhAva AsIt kintu taddine dvayo rmelanaM jAtam|
and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.
13 pashchAt pIlAtaH pradhAnayAjakAn shAsakAn lokAMshcha yugapadAhUya babhAShe,
And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14 rAjyaviparyyayakArakoyam ityuktvA manuShyamenaM mama nikaTamAnaiShTa kintu pashyata yuShmAkaM samakSham asya vichAraM kR^itvApi proktApavAdAnurUpeNAsya kopyaparAdhaH sapramANo na jAtaH,
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;
15 yUya ncha herodaH sannidhau preShitA mayA tatrAsya kopyaparAdhastenApi na prAptaH|pashyatAnena vadhahetukaM kimapi nAparAddhaM|
no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;
16 tasmAdenaM tADayitvA vihAsyAmi|
having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
17 tatrotsave teShAmeko mochayitavyaH|
for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
18 iti hetoste prochchairekadA prochuH, enaM dUrIkR^itya barabbAnAmAnaM mochaya|
and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, 'Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'
19 sa barabbA nagara upaplavavadhAparAdhAbhyAM kArAyAM baddha AsIt|
who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
20 kintu pIlAto yIshuM mochayituM vA nChan punastAnuvAcha|
Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,
21 tathApyenaM krushe vyadha krushe vyadheti vadantaste ruruvuH|
but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify him.'
22 tataH sa tR^itIyavAraM jagAda kutaH? sa kiM karmma kR^itavAn? nAhamasya kamapi vadhAparAdhaM prAptaH kevalaM tADayitvAmuM tyajAmi|
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].'
23 tathApi te punarenaM krushe vyadha ityuktvA prochchairdR^iDhaM prArthayA nchakrire;
And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
24 tataH pradhAnayAjakAdInAM kalarave prabale sati teShAM prArthanArUpaM karttuM pIlAta Adidesha|
and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
25 rAjadrohavadhayoraparAdhena kArAsthaM yaM janaM te yayAchire taM mochayitvA yIshuM teShAmichChAyAM samArpayat|
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.
26 atha te yIshuM gR^ihItvA yAnti, etarhi grAmAdAgataM shimonanAmAnaM kurINIyaM janaM dhR^itvA yIshoH pashchAnnetuM tasya skandhe krushamarpayAmAsuH|
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.
27 tato lokAraNyamadhye bahustriyo rudatyo vilapantyashcha yIshoH pashchAd yayuH|
And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,
28 kintu sa vyAghuTya tA uvAcha, he yirUshAlamo nAryyo yuyaM madarthaM na ruditvA svArthaM svApatyArtha ncha ruditi;
and Jesus having turned unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;
29 pashyata yaH kadApi garbhavatyo nAbhavan stanya ncha nApAyayan tAdR^ishI rvandhyA yadA dhanyA vakShyanti sa kAla AyAti|
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;
30 tadA he shailA asmAkamupari patata, he upashailA asmAnAchChAdayata kathAmIdR^ishIM lokA vakShyanti|
then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —
31 yataH satejasi shAkhini chedetad ghaTate tarhi shuShkashAkhini kiM na ghaTiShyate?
for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?'
32 tadA te hantuM dvAvaparAdhinau tena sArddhaM ninyuH|
And there were also others — two evil-doers — with him, to be put to death;
33 aparaM shiraHkapAlanAmakasthAnaM prApya taM krushe vividhuH; taddvayoraparAdhinorekaM tasya dakShiNo tadanyaM vAme krushe vividhuH|
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.
34 tadA yIshurakathayat, he pitaretAn kShamasva yata ete yat karmma kurvvanti tan na viduH; pashchAtte guTikApAtaM kR^itvA tasya vastrANi vibhajya jagR^ihuH|
And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.
35 tatra lokasaMghastiShThan dadarsha; te teShAM shAsakAshcha tamupahasya jagaduH, eSha itarAn rakShitavAn yadIshvareNAbhiruchito. abhiShiktastrAtA bhavati tarhi svamadhunA rakShatu|
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.'
36 tadanyaH senAgaNA etya tasmai amlarasaM datvA parihasya provAcha,
And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,
37 chettvaM yihUdIyAnAM rAjAsi tarhi svaM rakSha|
and saying, 'If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'
38 yihUdIyAnAM rAjeti vAkyaM yUnAnIyaromIyebrIyAkSharai rlikhitaM tachChirasa Urddhve. asthApyata|
And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, 'This is the King of the Jews.'
39 tadobhayapArshvayo rviddhau yAvaparAdhinau tayorekastaM vinindya babhAShe, chettvam abhiShiktosi tarhi svamAvA ncha rakSha|
And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, 'If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'
40 kintvanyastaM tarjayitvAvadat, IshvarAttava ki nchidapi bhayaM nAsti kiM? tvamapi samAnadaNDosi,
And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?
41 yogyapAtre AvAM svasvakarmmaNAM samuchitaphalaM prApnuvaH kintvanena kimapi nAparAddhaM|
and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'
42 atha sa yIshuM jagAda he prabhe bhavAn svarAjyapraveshakAle mAM smaratu|
and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'
43 tadA yIshuH kathitavAn tvAM yathArthaM vadAmi tvamadyaiva mayA sArddhaM paralokasya sukhasthAnaM prApsyasi|
and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'
44 apara ncha dvitIyayAmAt tR^itIyayAmaparyyantaM ravestejasontarhitatvAt sarvvadesho. andhakAreNAvR^ito
And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,
45 mandirasya yavanikA cha ChidyamAnA dvidhA babhUva|
and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,
46 tato yIshuruchchairuvAcha, he pita rmamAtmAnaM tava kare samarpaye, ityuktvA sa prANAn jahau|
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.
47 tadaitA ghaTanA dR^iShTvA shatasenApatirIshvaraM dhanyamuktvA kathitavAn ayaM nitAntaM sAdhumanuShya AsIt|
And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'
48 atha yAvanto lokA draShTum AgatAste tA ghaTanA dR^iShTvA vakShaHsu karAghAtaM kR^itvA vyAchuTya gatAH|
and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;
49 yIsho rj nAtayo yA yA yoShitashcha gAlIlastena sArddhamAyAtAstA api dUre sthitvA tat sarvvaM dadR^ishuH|
and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 tadA yihUdIyAnAM mantraNAM kriyA nchAsammanyamAna Ishvarasya rAjatvam apekShamANo
And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,
51 yihUdideshIyo. arimathIyanagarIyo yUShaphnAmA mantrI bhadro dhArmmikashcha pumAn
— 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,
52 pIlAtAntikaM gatvA yIsho rdehaM yayAche|
he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,
53 pashchAd vapuravarohya vAsasA saMveShTya yatra kopi mAnuSho nAsthApyata tasmin shaile svAte shmashAne tadasthApayat|
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.
54 taddinamAyojanIyaM dinaM vishrAmavArashcha samIpaH|
And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,
55 aparaM yIshunA sArddhaM gAlIla AgatA yoShitaH pashchAditvA shmashAne tatra yathA vapuH sthApitaM tachcha dR^iShTvA
and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,
56 vyAghuTya sugandhidravyatailAni kR^itvA vidhivad vishrAmavAre vishrAmaM chakruH|
and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
