Luke 23
1 Pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻo taki ia kia Pailato.
And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,
2 Pea naʻa nau kamata talatalaakiʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mau ʻilo ʻae siana ni ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai, ʻo ne taʻofi ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, ʻo ne pehē, ko ia pe ko e Kalaisi ko e Tuʻi.”
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 Pea fehuʻi ʻa Pailato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e Tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu?” Pea leaange ʻe ia kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia pe.”
And Pilate questioned him, saying, 'Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, 'Thou dost say [it].'
4 Pea pehē ai ʻe Pailato ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kakai, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻi he tangata ni.”
And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, 'I find no fault in this man;'
5 Pea ʻāsili ai ʻenau lili, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai, ʻo ne ako ʻi Siutea kotoa, ngata mei Kāleli ʻo aʻu ki he potu ni.”
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 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pailato ki ai, pea fehuʻi ai ia pe ko e tangata Kāleli ia.
And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,
7 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻoku ne mei he feituʻu ʻoku pule ai ʻa Helota, pea ne fekau ia kia Helota, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema foki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
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 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Helota kia Sisu, naʻe fiefia lahi ia; he kuo fuoloa mo ʻene holi ke mamata ki ai, koeʻuhi kuo ne fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻiate ia: pea ne fakaʻamu ke mamata ki haʻa ne fai ha meʻa mana.
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 Pea naʻe lahi ʻene ngaahi ʻeke kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ʻe ia ki ai.
and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.
10 Pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi, ʻonau talatalaaki mālohi ia.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,
11 Pea taukaea ia ʻe Helota, mo ʻene kautau, mo nau manukiʻi, pea nau ʻai ʻae kofu ngingila kiate ia, ʻo toe fekau ia kia Pailato.
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 Pea ko e ʻaho ko ia naʻe feʻofoʻofani ai ʻa Pailato mo Helota: he kuo loa ʻena feʻiteʻitani.
and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.
13 Pea kuo fakataha ʻe Pailato ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kakai,
And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou ʻomi ʻae tangata ni kiate au, ʻo hangē ko ha taha ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai pea vakai, kuo u ʻekea[ia] ʻi homou ʻao; pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻoe tangata ni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mou talatalaakiʻi ai ia:
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 Pea ko Helota foki; he naʻaku fekau ʻakimoutolu kiate ia; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku totonu ke mate ai ia.”
no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;
16 Ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”
having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
17 (He kuo totonu ke ne tukuange kiate kinautolu ha tokotaha ʻi he kātoanga.)
for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
18 Pea naʻa nau kalanga fakataha kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ʻae tangata ni, kae tuku mai ʻa Palāpasa kiate kimautolu:”
and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, 'Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'
19 (ʻAia naʻe lī ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko[ʻene ]fakaaoao ʻi he kolo, mo e fakapō.)
who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
20 Ka naʻe loto ʻa Pailato ke tukuange ʻa Sisu, ko ia ne ne toe lea ai [kiate kinautolu].
Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,
21 Ka naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tutuki ki he ʻakau, tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.”
but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify him.'
22 Pea lea ia kiate kinautolu ko hono tuʻo tolu, “Koeʻumaʻā, ko e hā ha kovi kuo ne fai? ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia: ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”
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 Ka naʻe mālohi ʻenau lea pea longoaʻa lahi, ʻonau pehē, “Ke tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.” Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae leʻo ʻokinautolu mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi.
And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
24 Pea fekau ʻe Pailato ke fai ʻo hangē ko honau loto.
and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
25 Pea ne tukuange kiate kinautolu ia naʻa nau holi ki ai, ʻaia naʻe lī ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko e fakaaoao mo e fakapō; ka ne tukuange ʻa Sisu ki honau loto.
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 Pea ʻi heʻenau kei taki atu ia, naʻa nau puke ʻae tokotaha ko Saimone, ko e Sailini, ʻoku haʻu mei he tukuʻuta, pea naʻa nau hili kiate ia ʻae ʻakau, ke ne fua ʻo muimui ia Sisu.
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 Pea naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, mo e kau fefine, ʻonau tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko ia.
And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,
28 Ka naʻe tafoki ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻOua naʻa mou tangi koeʻuhi ko au, kae tangi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea mo hoʻomou fānau.
and Jesus having turned unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;
29 Vakai, he ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho te nau pehē ai, ‘ʻOku monūʻia ʻae paʻa, pea mo e manāva naʻe ʻikai fānau, mo e huhū naʻe ʻikai fakahuhūʻaki.’
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 Pea te nau toki kamata lea ai ki he ngaahi moʻunga, “Holo mai kiate kimautolu:” pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, “Uʻufi ʻakimautolu.”’
then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —
31 He kapau te nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ki he ʻakau mata, ko e hā ʻe fai ki he mōmoa?”
for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?'
32 Pea naʻe tataki mo ia foki ʻae ongo fai kovi ʻe toko ua ke tāmateʻi.
And there were also others — two evil-doers — with him, to be put to death;
33 Pea kuo nau hoko ki he potu ʻoku ui ko Kalivali, naʻa nau tuki ia ʻi ai ki he ʻakau, mo e ongo fai kovi, ko e tokotaha ki he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e tokotaha ki he nima toʻohema.
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 Pea toki pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻE Tamai, fakamolemole ʻakinautolu; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku nau fai.” Pea naʻa nau vahevahe ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, ʻo talotalo.
And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.
35 Pea tuʻu ʻae kakai, ʻo mamata. Pea nau manuki mo e kau matāpule[kiate ia], ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae kakai; tuku ke ne fakamoʻui ia, ʻo kapau ko e Kalaisi ia, ko e ʻofeina ʻae ʻOtua.”
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 Pea manukiʻi foki ia ʻe he kau tau, mo nau ʻalu ange, ʻo ʻatu ʻae vaimahi kiate ia,
And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,
37 Mo nau pehē, “Kapau ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu, fakamoʻui koe.”
and saying, 'If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'
38 Pea naʻe tohi foki ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia, ʻae tohi ʻi he lea fakaKiliki, mo e lea fakaLoma, mo e lea fakaHepelū, KO ENI ʻAE TUʻI ʻOE KAKAI SIU.
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 Pea naʻe manuki kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻoe ongo fai kovi naʻe tautau, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau ko e Kalaisi koe, fakamoʻui koe mo kimaua.”
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 Ka naʻe leaange ʻa hono toko ua, ʻo ne valoki ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai te ke manavahē koe ki he ʻOtua, he ʻoku ke malaʻia foki?
And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?
41 Pea ʻoku totonu kiate kitaua, he ko e totongi totonu ʻo ʻeta ngāue: ka naʻe ʻikai ha kovi ʻe fai ʻe he tangata ni.”
and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'
42 Pea pehē ʻe ia kia Sisu, “ʻEiki ke ke manatuʻi au, ʻoka ke ka hoko ki ho puleʻanga.”
and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'
43 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni kiate koe, Te ta ʻi Palataisi mo au he ʻaho ni.”
and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'
44 Pea ko hono ono nai ia ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae fonua kotoa pē, ʻo aʻu ki hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,
45 Pea fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā, pea mahae ua mālie ʻae puipui ʻoe falelotu lahi.
and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,
46 Pea tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ‘ʻoku ou tuku hoku laumālie ki ho nima: pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea pekia ia.’”
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 Pea kuo mamata ʻae ʻeikitau ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea fakamālō ia ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē, “Tā ko e moʻoni ko e tangata māʻoniʻoni eni.”
And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'
48 Pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe kātoa ki he vakai ʻoe meʻa ko ia, ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai, naʻa nau si fatafata, ʻo toe ʻalu.
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 Pea ko hono kāinga kotoa pē, mo e kau fefine naʻe muimui ʻiate ia mei Kāleli, naʻa nau tutuʻu mei he mamaʻo, ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 Pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe hingoa ko Siosefa, ko e fakamaau, ko e tangata lelei pea angatonu:
And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,
51 (Naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki he fakakaukau mo e ngāue ʻanautolu: ) ko e ʻAlematea [ia], ko e kolo ʻoe kakai Siu: pea naʻe tatali foki ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
— 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 Naʻe ʻalu ia kia Pailato, ʻo ne kole ʻae sino ʻo Sisu.
he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,
53 Pea ne vete hifo ia, ʻo fakakoloa ʻaki ia ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo tuku ia ki he fonualoto kuo tā ʻi he loto maka, ʻaia naʻe teʻeki fakatokoto ai ha tokotaha.
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 Pea ko e ʻaho teuteu ia, pea kuo ofi ʻae Sāpate.
And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,
55 Ko e kau fefine foki, naʻe omi mo ia mei Kāleli, naʻa nau muimui mai, ʻo, mamata ki he fonualoto, mo e tuku ʻo hono sino.
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 Pea naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo tokonaki ʻae ngaahi ʻakau namu kakala mo e lolo tākai; pea nau mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻo hangē ko e fekau.
and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
