Luke 23
1 Adudagi miyam apumba aduna hougattuna Jisubu Pilate-ki mamangda purakle.
Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
2 Aduga makhoina Ibungobu maran siba houraduna hairak-i, “Nupa asina leibak miyambu lanna lamjingle. Mahakna miyamda Caesar-da kanggat thidanaba hai aduga masana masabu Christta ningthouni haijei.”
And they began to accuse him, ‘This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is “Christ, a king.”’
3 Maduda Pilate-na Ibungoda hanglak-i, “Nahak Jihudigi ningthou adura?” Jisuna khumlak-i, “Nahakna hairiba aduni.”
‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked him. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
4 Adudagi Pilatena athoiba purohitsing amadi miyam aduda hairak-i, “Eina nupa asida maral amata phangde.”
But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, ‘I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.’
5 Adubu makhoina henna kanna taksinduna hairak-i, “Galilee-dagi houduna Jerusalem phaoba, Judea sinba-thungna mahakna tambiduna miyam marakta irang sagatli.”
But they insisted, ‘He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.’
6 Madu tabada Pilate-na mangonda hanglak-i, “Mahak asi Galileegi mira?”
Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
7 Makhoina Jisubu Galilee-gi mini hairabada Pilate-na mahakpu Herod-ki manakta tharammi maramdi Galilee asi Herod-ki leingak makhada leirammi. Matam aduda Herod masamaksu Jerusalem-da leirammi.
and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.
8 Herodna Jisubu uba matamda yamna haraojarammi, maramdi mahakna Ibungogi maramda pao tarammi amasung matam kuinadagi Ibungobu uba pamlammi. Aduga Jisuna angakpa thabak touba khara mahakna ujagani haina asha tourammi.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.
9 Maram aduna Herodna Jisuda wahang kaya ama hanglammi adubu Ibungona mangonda paokhum amata pikhide.
So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
10 Aduga athoiba purohitsing amadi Wayen Yathanggi ojasingna lepkhattuna Ibungoda akanba maral sirammi.
Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
11 Adudagi Herod amadi mahakki lanmisingna Jisubu noknarammi amasung karemnarammi. Aduga Ibungobu phajaba phijol ama setpiduna Pilate-ki manakta amuk hanna thakhirammi.
And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Jesus with scorn; he mocked him by throwing a gorgeous robe round him, and then sent him back to Pilate.
12 Numit adumaktada Herod amadi Pilate marup oikhi, madugi mamangda makhoi ani yeknarammi.
And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
13 Adudagi Pilate-na athoiba purohitsing, luchingbasing, amadi misingbu punna kouraduna,
So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,
14 Makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoina nupa asibu eigi inakta puraktuna misingbu lanna lamjingngi hairi. Aduga yengngu, eina nakhoigi namangmaktada mahakpu wahang paohang toure, adubu nakhoina mangonda siriba maral asigi maramda maral amata phangdre.
and said to them, ‘You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;
15 Aduga Herodnasu mahakki maral amata phangdre maramdi mahakna nupa asibu eikhoida amuk hanna tharakle. Mahakna sibagi cheirak phangba yaba karigumba thabak amatasu toukhide.
nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
16 Maram aduna eina mahakpu cheirak khara piraga thadoklagani.”
so I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
17 [Maramdi Chakkhangba kummei khudinggi miyamgidamak Pilatena phadok amabu thadokpa tarammi.]
18 Adubu miyam apumba aduna laorak-i, “Mahakpu hatlu! Aduga Barabbaspu eikhoigidamak thadok-u!”
But they began to shout as one man, ‘Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.’
19 (Barabbas asi sahar aduda leibak irang thokhanbada saruk yabagi amadi mi hatlubagidamak keisumsangda thambani.)
(Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
20 Aduga Pilate-na Jisubu thadokningduna miyam aduda amukka hanna hairammi.
Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
21 Adubu makhoina, “Cross-ta hatlu! Cross-ta hatlu!” haiduna laoduna leirammi.
but they kept calling out, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’
22 Ahumlaksuba oina Pilatena makhoida hairammi, “Karigi mahakpu hatkadouribano? Mahakna kari phataba toukhrabage? Eina mangondagi sibagi cheirak piba yaba maran amata phangde. Maram aduna eina mahakpu cheirak khara piraga thadoklagani.”
‘Why, what harm has this man done?’ Pilate said to them for the third time. ‘I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
23 Adubu makhoina houna lao-laoduna Ibungobu crossta pang tingduna hatnanaba taksillammi, aduga makhoigi khonjel aduna ngamkhirammi.
But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
24 Maram aduna Pilate-na makhoigi apamba adu pinanaba Jisubu hatnanaba laothoklammi.
Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
25 Aduga mahakna makhoina thadoknaba nijaba, leibak irang thokhanba amadi mi hatpagidamak keisumsangda thamliba Barabaspu thadoklaga makhoigi apambagi matunginna Jisubu makhoigi makhutta pithoklammi.
He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.
26 Adudagi lanmisingna Jisubu puthokkhibada khunggangdagi sahar aduda changlakpa Cyrene-gi Simon-ga thengnare. Aduga makhoina mahakpu phaduna cross adu thonggatlaga Jisugi matung innaduna puhallammi.
And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 Aduga Ibungogidamak kaplibi amadi tengtharibi nupising yaona yamlaba miyam amana Ibungogi matung illammi.
There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
28 Adubu Jisuna makhoida onsilladuna hairak-i, “Jerusalemgi machanupising! Eihakkidamak kapkanu; adubu nakhoi nasagidamak amadi nachasinggidamak kappu.
So Jesus turned and said to them, ‘Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Maramdi ‘Chaboktabising, naopudabi nupising amadi khom-indabi nupising adu yaiphabini’ haigadaba matam adu lakli.
A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said – “Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!”
30 Matam aduda misingna chingjaosingda haigani, ‘Eikhoigi ithakta tasinbiro’ aduga makhoina chingsingda haigani, ‘Eikhoibu kupsinbiro.’
At that time people will begin to say to the mountains “Fall on us,” and to the hills “Cover us.”
31 Asangba upalda misingna asigumna touragadi akangba upaldadi kari thokkadage?”
If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?’
32 Aduga wayel thugaiba nupa ani amasu Ibungoga loinana hatnanaba puthoklammi.
There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
33 Aduga makhoina “Kokki saru akangba” kouba mapham aduda laklabada makhoina Ibungobu amadi phattaba touba makhoi anibu amana Ibungogi yetta amana oida crossta pang tingkhi.
When they had reached the place called “The Skull,” there they crucified Jesus and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left.
34 Adudagi Jisuna hairak-i, “Ipa, makhoibu kokpiyu, maramdi makhoina kari touribano haibadu makhoina khangjade.” Aduga lanmising aduna Ibungogi phironsing adubu laibak chang yengnaduna yennarammi.
Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.’ His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
35 Miyam aduna leptuna yenglammi amasung Jihudigi luchingbasing aduna Ibungoda keramnarammi. Makhoina hairak-i, “Mahakna atoppa misingbudi kanbikhi. Mahak asi Tengban Mapuna khandoklaba, Christa adu oirabadi mahak masasu kanjasanu.”
Meanwhile the people stood looking on. Even the leading men said with a sneer, ‘He saved others, let him save himself, if he is God’s Christ, his chosen one.’
36 Aduga lanmising adusu laktuna Ibungobu noknarammi. Makhoina Ibungoda asinba yu piraduna,
The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
37 hairak-i, “Nahakna Jihudigi ningthou oirabadi nasamakpu kanjou.”
and saying as they did so, ‘If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.’
38 Amasung Ibungogi kokthaklomda “Masi Jihudigi ningthouni” haina Greek, Latin amadi Hebrew londa iba ayiba ama thetlammi.
Above him were the words – “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
39 Aduga Ibungogi nakanda yalliba phattaba toubasing adugi maraktagi amana Ibungobu thina ngangladuna hairak-i, “Nahakna Christa oirabadi nasabusu amadi eikhoibusu kallu.”
One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. ‘Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us,’ he said.
40 Adubu atoppa phattaba touba ama aduna mahakpu cheiraduna hairak-i, “Nahak Tengban Mapubu kidabara? Mahakna phangba cheirak adumak nahaknasu chap manana phangli.
But the other rebuked him. ‘Haven’t you,’ he said, ‘any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
41 Adumakpu eikhoinadi achumba cheirak adu phangli maramdi eikhoina toujaruba thabakki phangbada matik chaba adu eikhoina phangjari. Adubu nupa asinadi aranba kari amata toukhide.”
And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
42 Aduga mahakna Jisuda hairak-i, “Jisu, nahakna nahakki ningthou leibak changbada eibu ningsingbiyu.”
Jesus,’ he went on, ‘do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.’
43 Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Eina nangonda tasengnamak hairibasini, ngasi nahakna eiga loinana Paradise-ta leiminnagani.”
And Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.’
44 Matam adu chaorakna pung taranithoimuk tarammi. Aduga amambana lam adu sinba tungna pung ahum taba phaoba kupsillammi,
It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,
45 maramdi numitki mangal mangkhirammi. Aduga Mapugi Sanglen-gi maikhanphi adu anithokna segairammi.
the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
46 Adudagi Jisuna ahouba khonjelda laorak-i, “Ipa! Eina eigi thawai asi nanggi khutta sinajari.” Asi hairamlaga Ibungona thawai thakhirammi.
Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ And with these words he expired.
47 Aduga lanmi chamagi luchingba aduna thokkhiba adu ubada, Tengban Mapubu thagatladuna hairak-i, “Tasengnamak mahak achumba chatpa mini.”
The Roman centurion, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, ‘This must have been a good man!’
48 Amasung thoudok adu yengnanabagidamak tilliba miyam aduna thokkhiba adu urabada thabak yeiraduna hannakhirammi.
All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
49 Adubu Ibungoga khangnaba makhoising haibadi Galilee-dagi mahakki tung illakpi nupising adu yaona makhoi pumnamakna thaptakna lepladuna yenglammi.
All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
50 Aduga maming Joseph kouba aphaba amasung achumba chatpa mi ama leirammi. Mahak sanhedringi mioisinggi maraktagi ama oirammi,
Now there was a man of the name of Joseph, who was a member of the Council, and who bore a good and upright character.
51 adubu mahakna makhoigi warep amadi thabak adu yaninglamde. Mahak Judea-gi Arimathea lamdagini aduga mahakna Tengban Mapugi leibak aduna lakpa khourangna ngaijarammi.
(This man had not assented to the decision and action of the Council.) He belonged to Arimathea, a town in Judea, and lived in expectation of the kingdom of God.
52 Mahakna Pilate-ki manakta chattuna Jisugi hakchang adubu nijarammi.
He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
53 Adudagi mahakna hachang adubu loutharaduna linengi phina yomsillaga nungjaoda haktuna thamba mi kana amata thamnadriba mongpham amada thamkhi.
and, when he had taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet, and laid him in a tomb cut out of stone, in which no one had yet been buried.
54 Numit adu thourang langba numit oirammi amasung Potthaba Numit hougadourammi.
It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.
55 Aduga Galilee-dagi Jisugi tung illakpising aduna Joseph-ki tung illaktuna mongphamda Jisugi hakchang adu karamna thambage haibadu yenglammi.
The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
56 Adudagi makhoina halaktuna hakchang adugidamak manam nungsiba machal amadi teinanaba thao thourang toujare. Adubu potthaba numit adudi wayel yathang matung-inna makhoina pottharammi.
and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment.
