< لُوکَح 23 >
| تَتَح سَبھاسْتھاح سَرْوَّلوکا اُتّھایَ تَں پِیلاتَسَمُّکھَں نِیتْواپْرودْیَ وَکْتُماریبھِرے، | 1 |
Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
| سْوَمَبھِشِکْتَں راجانَں وَدَنْتَں کَیمَرَراجایَ کَرَدانَں نِشیدھَنْتَں راجْیَوِپَرْیَّیَں کُرْتُّں پْرَوَرْتَّمانَمْ اینَ پْراپْتا وَیَں۔ | 2 |
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.”’
| تَدا پِیلاتَسْتَں پرِشْٹَوانْ تْوَں کِں یِہُودِییاناں راجا؟ سَ پْرَتْیُواچَ تْوَں سَتْیَمُکْتَوانْ۔ | 3 |
‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked him. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
| تَدا پِیلاتَح پْرَدھانَیاجَکادِلوکانْ جَگادْ، اَہَمیتَسْیَ کَمَپْیَپَرادھَں ناپْتَوانْ۔ | 4 |
But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, ‘I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.’
| تَتَسْتے پُنَح ساہَمِنو بھُوتْواوَدَنْ، ایشَ گالِیلَ ایتَتْسْتھانَپَرْیَّنْتے سَرْوَّسْمِنْ یِہُودادیشے سَرْوّالّوکانُپَدِشْیَ کُپْرَورِتِّں گْراہِیتَوانْ۔ | 5 |
But they insisted, ‘He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.’
| تَدا پِیلاتو گالِیلَپْرَدیشَسْیَ نامَ شْرُتْوا پَپْرَچّھَ، کِمَیَں گالِیلِییو لوکَح؟ | 6 |
Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
| تَتَح سَ گالِیلْپْرَدیشِییَہیرودْراجَسْیَ تَدا سْتھِتیسْتَسْیَ سَمِیپے یِیشُں پْریشَیاماسَ۔ | 7 |
and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.
| تَدا ہیرودْ یِیشُں وِلوکْیَ سَنْتُتوشَ، یَتَح سَ تَسْیَ بَہُورِتّانْتَشْرَوَناتْ تَسْیَ کِنِچَداشْچَرْیَّکَرْمَّ پَشْیَتِ اِتْیاشاں کرِتْوا بَہُکالَمارَبھْیَ تَں دْرَشْٹُں پْرَیاسَں کرِتَوانْ۔ | 8 |
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.
| تَسْماتْ تَں بَہُکَتھاح پَپْرَچّھَ کِنْتُ سَ تَسْیَ کَسْیاپِ واکْیَسْیَ پْرَتْیُتَّرَں نوواچَ۔ | 9 |
So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
| اَتھَ پْرَدھانَیاجَکا اَدھْیاپَکاشْچَ پْروتِّشْٹھَنْتَح ساہَسینَ تَمَپَوَدِتُں پْراریبھِرے۔ | 10 |
Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
| ہیرودْ تَسْیَ سیناگَنَشْچَ تَمَوَجْنایَ اُپَہاسَتْوینَ راجَوَسْتْرَں پَرِدھاپْیَ پُنَح پِیلاتَں پْرَتِ تَں پْراہِنوتْ۔ | 11 |
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.
| پُورْوَّں ہیرودْپِیلاتَیوح پَرَسْپَرَں وَیرَبھاوَ آسِیتْ کِنْتُ تَدِّنے دْوَیو رْمیلَنَں جاتَمْ۔ | 12 |
And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
| پَشْچاتْ پِیلاتَح پْرَدھانَیاجَکانْ شاسَکانْ لوکاںشْچَ یُگَپَداہُویَ بَبھاشے، | 13 |
So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,
| راجْیَوِپَرْیَّیَکارَکویَمْ اِتْیُکْتْوا مَنُشْیَمینَں مَمَ نِکَٹَمانَیشْٹَ کِنْتُ پَشْیَتَ یُشْماکَں سَمَکْشَمْ اَسْیَ وِچارَں کرِتْواپِ پْروکْتاپَوادانُرُوپیناسْیَ کوپْیَپَرادھَح سَپْرَمانو نَ جاتَح، | 14 |
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;
| یُویَنْچَ ہیرودَح سَنِّدھَو پْریشِتا مَیا تَتْراسْیَ کوپْیَپَرادھَسْتیناپِ نَ پْراپْتَح۔ پَشْیَتانینَ وَدھَہےتُکَں کِمَپِ ناپَرادّھَں۔ | 15 |
nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
| تَسْمادینَں تاڈَیِتْوا وِہاسْیامِ۔ | 16 |
so I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
| تَتْروتْسَوے تیشامیکو موچَیِتَوْیَح۔ | 17 |
| اِتِ ہیتوسْتے پْروچَّیریکَدا پْروچُح، اینَں دُورِیکرِتْیَ بَرَبّانامانَں موچَیَ۔ | 18 |
But they began to shout as one man, ‘Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.’
| سَ بَرَبّا نَگَرَ اُپَپْلَوَوَدھاپَرادھابھْیاں کارایاں بَدّھَ آسِیتْ۔ | 19 |
(Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
| کِنْتُ پِیلاتو یِیشُں موچَیِتُں وانْچھَنْ پُنَسْتانُواچَ۔ | 20 |
Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
| تَتھاپْیینَں کْرُشے وْیَدھَ کْرُشے وْیَدھیتِ وَدَنْتَسْتے رُرُوُح۔ | 21 |
but they kept calling out, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’
| تَتَح سَ ترِتِییَوارَں جَگادَ کُتَح؟ سَ کِں کَرْمَّ کرِتَوانْ؟ ناہَمَسْیَ کَمَپِ وَدھاپَرادھَں پْراپْتَح کیوَلَں تاڈَیِتْوامُں تْیَجامِ۔ | 22 |
‘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.’
| تَتھاپِ تے پُنَرینَں کْرُشے وْیَدھَ اِتْیُکْتْوا پْروچَّیرْدرِڈھَں پْرارْتھَیانْچَکْرِرے؛ | 23 |
But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
| تَتَح پْرَدھانَیاجَکادِیناں کَلَرَوے پْرَبَلے سَتِ تیشاں پْرارْتھَنارُوپَں کَرْتُّں پِیلاتَ آدِدیشَ۔ | 24 |
Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
| راجَدْروہَوَدھَیورَپَرادھینَ کاراسْتھَں یَں جَنَں تے یَیاچِرے تَں موچَیِتْوا یِیشُں تیشامِچّھایاں سَمارْپَیَتْ۔ | 25 |
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.
| اَتھَ تے یِیشُں گرِہِیتْوا یانْتِ، ایتَرْہِ گْراماداگَتَں شِمونَنامانَں کُرِینِییَں جَنَں دھرِتْوا یِیشوح پَشْچانّیتُں تَسْیَ سْکَنْدھے کْرُشَمَرْپَیاماسُح۔ | 26 |
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.
| تَتو لوکارَنْیَمَدھْیے بَہُسْتْرِیو رُدَتْیو وِلَپَنْتْیَشْچَ یِیشوح پَشْچادْ یَیُح۔ | 27 |
There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
| کِنْتُ سَ وْیاگھُٹْیَ تا اُواچَ، ہے یِرُوشالَمو نارْیّو یُیَں مَدَرْتھَں نَ رُدِتْوا سْوارْتھَں سْواپَتْیارْتھَنْچَ رُدِتِ؛ | 28 |
So Jesus turned and said to them, ‘Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
| پَشْیَتَ یَح کَداپِ گَرْبھَوَتْیو نابھَوَنْ سْتَنْیَنْچَ ناپایَیَنْ تادرِشِی رْوَنْدھْیا یَدا دھَنْیا وَکْشْیَنْتِ سَ کالَ آیاتِ۔ | 29 |
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!”
| تَدا ہے شَیلا اَسْماکَمُپَرِ پَتَتَ، ہے اُپَشَیلا اَسْماناچّھادَیَتَ کَتھامِیدرِشِیں لوکا وَکْشْیَنْتِ۔ | 30 |
At that time people will begin to say to the mountains “Fall on us,” and to the hills “Cover us.”
| یَتَح سَتیجَسِ شاکھِنِ چیدیتَدْ گھَٹَتے تَرْہِ شُشْکَشاکھِنِ کِں نَ گھَٹِشْیَتے؟ | 31 |
If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?’
| تَدا تے ہَنْتُں دْواوَپَرادھِنَو تینَ سارْدّھَں نِنْیُح۔ | 32 |
There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
| اَپَرَں شِرَحکَپالَنامَکَسْتھانَں پْراپْیَ تَں کْرُشے وِوِدھُح؛ تَدّوَیورَپَرادھِنوریکَں تَسْیَ دَکْشِنو تَدَنْیَں وامے کْرُشے وِوِدھُح۔ | 33 |
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.
| تَدا یِیشُرَکَتھَیَتْ، ہے پِتَریتانْ کْشَمَسْوَ یَتَ ایتے یَتْ کَرْمَّ کُرْوَّنْتِ تَنْ نَ وِدُح؛ پَشْچاتّے گُٹِکاپاتَں کرِتْوا تَسْیَ وَسْتْرانِ وِبھَجْیَ جَگرِہُح۔ | 34 |
Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.’ His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
| تَتْرَ لوکَسَںگھَسْتِشْٹھَنْ دَدَرْشَ؛ تے تیشاں شاسَکاشْچَ تَمُپَہَسْیَ جَگَدُح، ایشَ اِتَرانْ رَکْشِتَوانْ یَدِیشْوَرینابھِرُچِتو بھِشِکْتَسْتْراتا بھَوَتِ تَرْہِ سْوَمَدھُنا رَکْشَتُ۔ | 35 |
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.’
| تَدَنْیَح سیناگَنا ایتْیَ تَسْمَے اَمْلَرَسَں دَتْوا پَرِہَسْیَ پْروواچَ، | 36 |
The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
| چیتّوَں یِہُودِییاناں راجاسِ تَرْہِ سْوَں رَکْشَ۔ | 37 |
and saying as they did so, ‘If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.’
| یِہُودِییاناں راجیتِ واکْیَں یُونانِییَرومِیییبْرِییاکْشَرَے رْلِکھِتَں تَچّھِرَسَ اُورْدّھوےسْتھاپْیَتَ۔ | 38 |
Above him were the words – “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
| تَدوبھَیَپارْشْوَیو رْوِدّھَو یاوَپَرادھِنَو تَیوریکَسْتَں وِنِنْدْیَ بَبھاشے، چیتّوَمْ اَبھِشِکْتوسِ تَرْہِ سْوَماوانْچَ رَکْشَ۔ | 39 |
One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. ‘Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us,’ he said.
| کِنْتْوَنْیَسْتَں تَرْجَیِتْواوَدَتْ، اِیشْوَراتَّوَ کِنْچِدَپِ بھَیَں ناسْتِ کِں؟ تْوَمَپِ سَمانَدَنْڈوسِ، | 40 |
But the other rebuked him. ‘Haven’t you,’ he said, ‘any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
| یوگْیَپاتْرے آواں سْوَسْوَکَرْمَّناں سَمُچِتَپھَلَں پْراپْنُوَح کِنْتْوَنینَ کِمَپِ ناپَرادّھَں۔ | 41 |
And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
| اَتھَ سَ یِیشُں جَگادَ ہے پْرَبھے بھَوانْ سْوَراجْیَپْرَویشَکالے ماں سْمَرَتُ۔ | 42 |
Jesus,’ he went on, ‘do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.’
| تَدا یِیشُح کَتھِتَوانْ تْواں یَتھارْتھَں وَدامِ تْوَمَدْیَیوَ مَیا سارْدّھَں پَرَلوکَسْیَ سُکھَسْتھانَں پْراپْسْیَسِ۔ | 43 |
And Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.’
| اَپَرَنْچَ دْوِتِییَیاماتْ ترِتِییَیامَپَرْیَّنْتَں رَویسْتیجَسونْتَرْہِتَتْواتْ سَرْوَّدیشونْدھَکاریناورِتو | 44 |
It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,
| مَنْدِرَسْیَ یَوَنِکا چَ چھِدْیَمانا دْوِدھا بَبھُووَ۔ | 45 |
the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
| تَتو یِیشُرُچَّیرُواچَ، ہے پِتَ رْمَماتْمانَں تَوَ کَرے سَمَرْپَیے، اِتْیُکْتْوا سَ پْرانانْ جَہَو۔ | 46 |
Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ And with these words he expired.
| تَدَیتا گھَٹَنا درِشْٹْوا شَتَسیناپَتِرِیشْوَرَں دھَنْیَمُکْتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ اَیَں نِتانْتَں سادھُمَنُشْیَ آسِیتْ۔ | 47 |
The Roman centurion, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, ‘This must have been a good man!’
| اَتھَ یاوَنْتو لوکا دْرَشْٹُمْ آگَتاسْتے تا گھَٹَنا درِشْٹْوا وَکْشَحسُ کَراگھاتَں کرِتْوا وْیاچُٹْیَ گَتاح۔ | 48 |
All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
| یِیشو رْجْناتَیو یا یا یوشِتَشْچَ گالِیلَسْتینَ سارْدّھَمایاتاسْتا اَپِ دُورے سْتھِتْوا تَتْ سَرْوَّں دَدرِشُح۔ | 49 |
All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
| تَدا یِہُودِییاناں مَنْتْرَناں کْرِیانْچاسَمَّنْیَمانَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجَتْوَمْ اَپیکْشَمانو | 50 |
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.
| یِہُودِدیشِییو رِمَتھِییَنَگَرِییو یُوشَپھْناما مَنْتْرِی بھَدْرو دھارْمِّکَشْچَ پُمانْ | 51 |
(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.
| پِیلاتانْتِکَں گَتْوا یِیشو رْدیہَں یَیاچے۔ | 52 |
He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
| پَشْچادْ وَپُرَوَروہْیَ واسَسا سَںویشْٹْیَ یَتْرَ کوپِ مانُشو ناسْتھاپْیَتَ تَسْمِنْ شَیلے سْواتے شْمَشانے تَدَسْتھاپَیَتْ۔ | 53 |
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.
| تَدِّنَمایوجَنِییَں دِنَں وِشْرامَوارَشْچَ سَمِیپَح۔ | 54 |
It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.
| اَپَرَں یِیشُنا سارْدّھَں گالِیلَ آگَتا یوشِتَح پَشْچادِتْوا شْمَشانے تَتْرَ یَتھا وَپُح سْتھاپِتَں تَچَّ درِشْٹْوا | 55 |
The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
| وْیاگھُٹْیَ سُگَنْدھِدْرَوْیَتَیلانِ کرِتْوا وِدھِوَدْ وِشْرامَوارے وِشْرامَں چَکْرُح۔ | 56 |
and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment.
