Mātiu 27
1 Pea kuo pongipongi hake, pea fealēleaʻaki ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai kia Sisu, ke tāmateʻi ia:
Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2 Pea hili ʻenau haʻi ia, naʻa nau toki ʻave ia kia Ponito Pailato ko e pule.
They bound him, led him away, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Pea ko Siutasi, ʻaia naʻa ne lavakiʻi ia, ʻi heʻene mamata kuo fakamaau ia ke mate, naʻe fakatomala ia, ʻo ne toe ʻomi ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau mātuʻa,
When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4 ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo u fai angahala ʻi heʻeku lavakiʻi ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni.” Pea nau pehē, “Ko e hā ia kiate kimautolu? Vakai pe ʻe koe.”
saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to it yoʋrself.”
5 Pea lī ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi konga siliva ki lalo ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne ʻalu atu ʻo noʻouʻa ia.
So he threw the pieces of silver into the temple and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 Pea toʻo mai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi ʻae ngaahi konga siliva, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua ke ʻai ia ki he puha koloa, he ko e totongi ia ʻoe toto.”
The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since they are a price paid for blood.”
7 Pea naʻa nau fakakaukau, pea toki fakatauʻaki ia ʻae ngoue ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ke tanu ai ʻae kakai muli.
So they took counsel and used the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners.
8 Ko ia naʻe ui ʻae ngoue ko ia, “ko e ngoue ʻoe toto”, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9 Pea fakamoʻoni ai ia ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē, “Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu, ko hono totongi ʻo ia naʻe fakatau, ʻaia naʻe fakatatau ia ki ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli;
Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set, on whom some of the sons of Israel had set a price,
10 ʻo totongi ʻaki ia ʻae ngoue ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate au.”
and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”
11 Pea tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe pule: pea fehuʻi ʻae pule kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko ia pe.”
Meanwhile, Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself.”
12 Pea ʻi he talakoviʻi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau mātuʻa, naʻe longo pe ia.
But when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.
13 Pea toki lea ʻa Pailato kiate ia, “ʻIkai te ke fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi ni ʻoku nau fakaʻilo ʻiate koe?”
Then Pilate said to him, “Do yoʋ not hear all the things they are testifying against yoʋ?”
14 Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito lea ia ki ai; ko ia naʻe ofo lahi ʻaupito ai ʻae pule.
But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so the governor was greatly amazed.
15 Pea ko e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he pule ʻi he kātoanga ko ia, ko e vete ʻo tuku atu ki he kakai ha pōpula ʻe tokotaha, naʻa nau loto ki ai.
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner for the crowd, whomever they wanted.
16 Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho [ko ia ]ʻae pōpula ongoongo, naʻe ui ko Palāpasa.
At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
17 Ko ia ʻi he kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻoku mou loto ke u tuku atu kiate kimoutolu? ʻA Palāpasa, pe ko Sisu ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi?”
So when the crowds were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”
18 He naʻa ne ʻilo ko e meʻa ʻi he meheka kuo nau tuku atu ai ia.
(For he knew they had handed Jesus over out of envy.)
19 Pea kuo nofo ia ʻi he nofoʻanga fakamaau, pea fekau ʻe hono uaifi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke kau ʻi ha meʻa ki he tangata māʻoniʻoni na: he naʻaku mamahi lahi he ʻaho ni koeʻuhi ko ia ʻi [heʻeku ]misi.”
While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”
20 Ka naʻe ueʻi ʻae kakai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ke nau kole ʻa Palāpasa, kae tāmateʻi ʻa Sisu.
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be executed.
21 Pea lea ʻae pule, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻiate kinaua ʻoku mou loto te u ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu?” Pea nau pehē, “Ko Palāpasa.”
In response the governor said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” They said, “Barabbas.”
22 Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Pea ko e hā te u fai kia Sisu ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi?” Pea nau pehē kotoa pē, “Tuku ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.”
So Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
23 Pea pehē ʻe he pule, “He ko e hā, ko e hā ha kovi kuo ne fai?” Ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻenau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.”
Then the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out all the more, “Let him be crucified!”
24 Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Pailato ʻoku ʻikai siʻi felave [ʻene ]lea, kae tupu pe ʻae maveuveu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae vai, ʻo fanofano hono nima ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou maʻa au ʻi he toto ʻoe tangata angatonu ni: mou vakai [ki ai].”
When Pilate saw that he was achieving nothing and that a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. See to it yourselves.”
25 Pea lea ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻiate kimautolu mo ʻemau fānau hono toto.”
All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
26 Pea toki tukuange ai ʻe ia ʻa Palāpasa kiate kinautolu; pea hili ʻene kauʻimaea ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne tukuange [ia ]ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.
Then he released for them Barabbas, but he scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.
27 Pea toki ʻave ʻa Sisu ʻe he kau tau ʻoe pule ki he fale lahi, pea fakataha kiate ia ʻae kautau kotoa.
Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus with them into the governor's headquarters and gathered against him the entire cohort of soldiers.
28 Pea nau toʻo hono kofu, ʻo ʻai kiate ia ʻae pulupulu kulaʻahoʻaho.
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
29 Pea hili ʻenau lalanga ʻae tatā ʻaki ʻae ʻakau talatala, naʻa nau ʻai [ia ]ki hono fofonga, mo e vaʻa kaho ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu: pea nau tūʻulutui ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo manukiʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Siʻotoʻofa, Tuʻi ʻoe kakai, Siu!”
and then twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand, and kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 Pea nau ʻaʻanu kiate ia, ʻo toʻo ʻae vaʻa kaho, ʻo taaʻi ʻaki hono fofonga.
Then they spit on him, took the reed, and beat him repeatedly on his head.
31 Pea hili ʻenau manukiʻi ia, naʻa nau toʻo ʻae pulupulu meiate ia, kae [toe ]ʻai hono kofu ʻoʻona kiate ia, ʻo taki atu ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.
When they had finished mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own garments back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
32 Pea ʻi heʻenau hū kituaʻā, naʻa nau ʻilo ai ʻae tangata Sailine, ko Saimone hono hingoa: pea nau puleʻi ia ke ne fua hono ʻakau.
As they went out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They pressed him into service, forcing him to carry Jesus' cross.
33 Pea kuo nau hoko ki he potu naʻe ui ko Kolokota, ko hono ʻuhinga, “ko e potu ʻoe ʻulupoko.”
When they came to a place called Golgotha (which means, “Place of the Skull”),
34 Naʻa nau ʻoatu kiate ia ʻae vai mahi kuo huʻi ʻaki ʻae ʻahu ke ne inu: pea naʻa ne kamata [ia], kae ʻikai te ne inu.
they gave Jesus sour wine to drink, mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it.
35 Pea naʻa nau tutuki ia ki he ʻakau, pea nau vahevahe hono ngaahi kofu ʻi he talotalo: koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, “Naʻa nau tufa hoku ngaahi kofu kiate kinautolu, mo nau talotalo ki hoku kofutuʻa.”
After crucifying him, they divided his garments among themselves by casting lots.
36 Pea nau nofo ki lalo, ʻo leʻohi ia;
Then they sat down and kept watch over him there.
37 Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻi ʻolunga ʻi hono fofonga hono talakoviʻi kuo tohi, KO SISU ENI KO E TUʻI ʻOE KAKAI SIU.
Over his head they placed the written charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
38 Pea naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau fakataha mo ia ʻae ongo kaihaʻa ʻe toko ua, ko e taha ki [hono ]nima toʻomataʻu, mo e taha ki [hono ]toʻohema.
Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
39 Pea naʻe manukiʻi ia ʻekinautolu naʻe feʻaluʻaki ai, mo kalokalo honau ʻulu,
Those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads
40 ʻonau pehē, “ʻA koe ʻoku ke fakaʻauha ʻae falelotu lahi, mo [toe ]langa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, fakamoʻui koe. Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻalu hifo mei he ʻakau.”
and saying, “Yoʋ who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yoʋrself. If yoʋ are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Pea manukiʻi foki ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, mo e mātuʻa, ʻonau pehē,
In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, elders, and Pharisees, were mocking him, saying,
42 “Naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻae niʻihi; ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fakamoʻui ia. Kapau ko e Tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku lelei ke ʻalu hifo ia mei he ʻakau, pea te tau tui kiate ia.
“He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the king of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 Naʻe falala ia ki he ʻOtua; ʻoku lelei ke ne fakamoʻui ni ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ne ʻofa kiate ia: he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e ʻAlo au ʻoe ʻOtua.’”
He has put his trust in God; let God deliver him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44 Pea ko e ongo kaihaʻa, naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau mo ia, naʻe pehē foki ʻena manukiʻi ia.
The robbers who were crucified with him were also reviling him in the same way.
45 Pea naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae fonua kotoa, mei hono ono ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻo aʻu ki hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
From the sixth hour until the ninth hour, there was darkness over the whole land.
46 Pea hokosia hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻIlai, ʻIlai, lama sapakatani?” Ko hono ʻuhinga, “Ko hoku ʻOtua, ko hoku ʻOtua, ko e hā kuo ke liʻaki ai au?”
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have yoʋ forsaken me?”
47 Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae niʻihi naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku ui ʻae tangata ni kia ʻIlaisiā.”
When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “This man is calling for Elijah.”
48 Pea lele leva honau tokotaha, ke toʻo mai ʻae oma, ʻo fakapito [ia ]ʻi he vai mahi, ʻo ne ʻai [ia ]ki he vaʻa kaho, pea ʻohake ke ne inu.
Immediately one of them ran, got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.
49 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Tuku ai pe, ka tau vakai pe haʻu ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke fakamoʻui ia.”
But the rest said, “Leave him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50 Pea kuo hili ʻae toe tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne tuku hake hono laumālie.
Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
51 Pea vakai, kuo mavaeua leva ʻae puipui ʻoe falelotu lahi, mei he potu ʻi ʻolunga ʻo aʻu ki lalo; pea ngalulu ʻae fonua, pea mafahifahi ʻae ngaahi maka;
And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth was shaken, and the rocks were split.
52 Pea matoʻo ʻae ngaahi tanuʻanga; pea tuʻu hake ʻae sino ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni niʻihi naʻe mohe,
The tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
53 ʻO nau haʻu mei honau ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻi he hili ʻene toetuʻu, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo tapu, ʻo fakahā ʻakinautolu ki he tokolahi.
(They came out of the tombs, and after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.)
54 Pea kuo mamata ʻae ʻeikitau, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, ke leʻohi ʻa Sisu, ki he mofuike, mo e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fai, naʻa nau ilifia lahi, ʻonau pehē, “tā ko e moʻoni ko e ʻalo ʻeni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
Now when the centurion and those who were keeping watch with him over Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they became very frightened and said, “Truly this man was the Son of God.”
55 Pea naʻe ai ʻae kau fefine tokolahi, [naʻe tutuʻu ]mei he mamaʻo ʻo vakai, naʻa nau muimui ʻia Sisu mei Kaleli, ʻonau tauhi ia:
Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and provided for him were there looking on from a distance,
56 Ko honau niʻihi ko Mele Makitaline, mo Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Semisi mo Sose, mo e faʻē ʻae fānau ʻa Sepeti.
among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Pea hokosia ʻae efiafi, pea haʻu ʻae tangata koloaʻia mei ʻAlematea, ko Siosefa hono hingoa, ko e ākonga foki ia ʻa Sisu:
When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who was himself also a disciple of Jesus.
58 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia kia Pailato ʻo ne kole ʻae sino ʻo Sisu. Pea toki fekau ai ʻe Pailato ke ʻoatu ʻae sino.
He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. So Pilate commanded that the body be given to him.
59 Pea kuo maʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻae sino, naʻa ne fakakoloa ʻaki ia ʻae tupenu mahuʻinga mo maʻa,
Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 ʻO ne fakatokoto ia ʻi hono fonualoto foʻou, ʻaia naʻa ne tā ʻi he loto maka: pea filifilihi ʻe ia ʻae maka lahi ki he matapā ʻoe fonualoto, pea [toki ]ʻalu ia.
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in a rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.
61 Pea naʻe nonofo ai, ʻo hangatonu mai ki he fonualoto, ʻa Mele Makitaline, pea mo e Mele ʻe taha.
Mary Magdalene was there, and so was the other Mary, sitting across from the tomb.
62 Pea ʻi he pongipongi, ʻaia naʻe feholoi mo e [ʻaho ]teuteu, naʻe haʻu fakataha kia Pailato ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi,
The next day (that is, after the day of Preparation), the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together before Pilate
63 ʻonau pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau manatu naʻe lea ʻae kākā na ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ‘Ka hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu te u toetuʻu hake.’
and said, “Sir, we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64 Ko ia ke ke fekau ke leʻohi maʻu ʻae fonualoto, ʻo hoko ki hono ʻaho tolu, telia naʻa haʻu ʻene kau ākonga ʻi he pō, ʻo kaihaʻasi ia, pea nau tala ki he kakai, ‘Kuo toetuʻu ia mei he mate: pea ʻe kovi lahi ai ʻae kākā ki mui ni ʻi he ʻuluaki.’
Therefore command that the tomb be secured until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, steal him away, and say to the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ This last deception would be worse than the first.”
65 Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ai hoʻomou kau leʻo: mou ō, ʻo faʻiteliha ki hono ngaohi ke maʻu.”
Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go and make it as secure as you know how.”
66 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu, ʻo ngaohi ke maʻu ʻae fonualoto, ʻo pulusi ʻae maka, pea [fakanofo ]ʻae leʻo.
So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard of soldiers.
