Luka 23
1 Amih te rhaengpuei la huek pai uh tih Jesuh te Pilat taengla a khuen uh.
The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
2 Te vaengah Jesuh te pahoi a paelnaeh uh tih, “Anih loh mah namtu he a pamdah sak, Kaisar taengah mangmu paek ham te a a paa sak tih amah te, 'Khrih manghai ni,’ a ti khaw ka hmuh,” a ti uh.
They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
3 Te phoeiah Pilat loh a dawt tih, “Nang he Judah manghaila na om a?” a ti nah. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Nang long ni na ti,” a ti nah.
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
4 Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek neh hlangping rhoek te, “Hekah hlang soah a lolh ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 Tedae amih loh a mangkhak la, “Pilnam a hueh tih, Galilee lamloh he hil, Judah tom ah pahoi a thuituen,” a ti uh.
But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
6 Pilat loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah hlang tah Galilee hoel la om maco, “a ti.
But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Te daengah Herod kah saithainah dongah aka om la a ming tih Herod taengla a tueih. Te vaeng tue ah Herod khaw Jerusalem ah om.
When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
8 Herod loh Jesuh te a hmuh vaengah bahoeng omngaih. Hlamat kum lamkah a kawng a yaak coeng dongah amah hmuh ham te ngaihlih ana om coeng. Te dongah anih loh a saii miknoek khat khat te hmuh hamla a ngaiuep.
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 Te dongah Jesuh te ol muep a dawt. Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a doo moenih.
He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
10 Te vaengah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek loh pai uh tih Jesuh te rhaprhap a paelnaeh uh.
The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Herod neh a rhalkap rhoek long khaw Jesuh te a hnaelcoe uh tih a tamdaeng uh. Te phoeiah himbai a cim thik a bai sak tih Pilat taengla a tueih uh.
Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 Te khohnin kuelhuelh ah Herod neh Pilat loh khatneh khat paya la coeng rhoi. A noek ah amih rhoi te thunkha la om rhoi dae ta.
Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
13 Te dongah Pilat loh khosoihham rhoek, boei rhoek neh pilnam te a hueh tih,
Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 “Hekah hlang he kai taengah pilnam aka palet bangla nang khuen uh. Kai loh nangmih hmaiah ka boelh het coeng dae a lolh la anih na paelnaeh uh thil te hekah hlang soah ka hmuh moenih he.
and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
15 Herod long khaw a hmuh pawt dongah ni anih he mamih taengla han tueih. A saii te dueknah neh aka tiing a om moenih he.
Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Te dongah anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah eh?,” a ti nah.
I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
17 Khotue ah amih ham hlang pakhat tah a loeih sak ham mangkhak la a kuek.
Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
18 Tedae huek pang uh tih, “Anih he khuen laeh, Barabbas mah kaimih ham han hlah,” a ti uh.
But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
19 Barabbas tah khopuei ah olpungnah bet a om vaengah ngawnnah a saii dongah thongim khuila a hlak uh.
one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
20 Jesuh te hlah a ngaih dongah Pilat loh amih te koep a khue.
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
21 Tedae amih loh a o uh tih, “Anih te tai laeh, tai laeh,” a ti uh.
but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22 Tedae Pilat loh amih te, “He loh boethae balae a saii tih, dueknah ham koila anih soah a lolh ka hmuh moenih. Anih he ueih sak lamtah ka hlah tangloeng eh?, “voeithum a ti nah.
He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
23 Tedae a lalh uh coeng dongah Jesuh tai ham te ol ue la a hoe uh tih amih ol loh boeih a khumla uh.
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
24 Pilat long khaw amih kah bihhoenah te rhoirhi ham ko a tam.
Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
25 Te dongah a hoe uh vanbangla olpungnah neh ngawnnah dongah thongim khuila a det tangtae te a hlah. Tedae Jesuh te amih kongaih bangla a voeih pah.
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
26 Anih te a khuen uh vaengah Kurena Simon te lohma lamkah ha pawk hatah a tuuk uh tih Jesuh hnukah koh pah ham thinglam te a tloeng pauh.
When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
27 Te vaengah anih te pilnam rheangpuei neh anih aka rhaengsae tih aka hlai huta rhoek loh muep a vai uh.
A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
28 Amih te Jesuh loh a mael thil tih, “Jerulalem nu rhoek, kai hamla rhap uh boeh. Namamih ham neh na ca rhoek ham mah rhap uh.
But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 “Cayaa, camoe aka cun pawh bung, aka khut pawh rhang suk loh a yoethen,” a ti uh tue tah ha pawk coeng he.
For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
30 Te vaengah tlang taengah kaimih n'tim thil laeh, mol taengah khaw kaimih m'vuei laeh, “pahoi a ti uh ni.
Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
31 Thing te a thingsup pataeng te tlam te a saii uh atah a koh vaengah metlam a om eh?” a ti nah.
For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
32 A tloe laihmuh panit te khaw anih taengah ngawn ham a khuen uh.
There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
36 Anih te rhalkap rhoek long khaw a tamdaeng uh tih a paan uh.
The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

38 “A sokah a ming khaw, “Judah rhoek kah manghai tah anih ni, “tila a om pah.
An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do not you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41 Mamih rhoi ngawn tah mah khoboe te n'yook tueng tih tiktam coeng. Tedae anih tah a halang la a saii moenih,” a ti nah.
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
