Luke 23
1 Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
Loongtang toonchap rum ano Jisu ah Pilat jiinni siit wanrumta,
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.”’
erah di neng ih Jisu suh nan rumta: “Seng ih arah mih ah ih seng mina loong lamki ni siit arah jap johi, “Neng ih luungwanglong suh sokse lakot theng ih baat rumha eno heh teeteewah suh Kristo, luungwang ih liita.”
3 ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked him. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
Pilat ih chengta, “An ah Jehudi loong luungwang tama?” “An ih liihu aju ang ah,” Jisu ih ngaakbaatta.
4 But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, ‘I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.’
Eno Pilat ih romwah phokhoh loong nyia miloong asuh baatta, “Ngah ih arah mih ah kaanju suh hemoong hetaang tajap jokang.”
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.’
Eno miloong ah ih ehan han ih laabaat rumta, “Heh ih nyootsoot ano Judia hadaang ni haphaangla. Heh ih Galili ni phang phaang siit ano chiinyah arah di thok phaangphak ra hala.”
6 Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
Pilat ih erah chaat ano, chengta, “Heh ah Galili nok hate tama?”
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.
Heh ih Jisu ah Hirod ih panha nok hah dowa ih jat ano, heh ih Hirod jiinni siitwan thukta, erah tokdi heh uh Jerusalem ni angta.
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.
Hirod ah Jisu japtup ano rapne ih roonta, tumeah heh ih jaakhoh ni Jisu tiit ah chaat ano heh japtup suh rapne kah ih ramta. Jisu ih epaatjaajih toom noisok hang ih heh ih thunta.
9 So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
Erah thoih Hirod ih jaatrep tiit taat chengta, ang abah uh Jisu ih tah ngaakbaatta.
10 Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
Romwah phokhoh loong nyia Hootthe nyootte loong ih Jisu suh ethih ih ram nan rumta.
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.
Hirod nyia heh sipaahi loong ah ih Jisu ah rapne ih kaanju ngitkhuung rumta; eno samsong elootjih rah ih choom rum ano Pilat jiinni ngaaksiit kaat thuk rumta.
12 And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
Erah sa dowa ih Hirod nyia Pilat ah jiiwah ih hoon nyuuta; erah ngakhoni bah nyi ah piiara kah ang nyuuta.
13 So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,
Pilat ih romwah phokhoh loong, phansiitte loong nyia noksong loong ah lompoon ano
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;
baat rumta, “Sen ih arah mih ah nga jiinni siitwan hanno baat hali heh ih mih lamki ni siit ha eah. Eno amadi, ngah ih sen ngathong ni thaakcheng angdi heh moong hetaang tiit ah tiim uh tajeeka.
15 nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
Hirod ih uh heh moongtaang ah tachojoka, erah thoih heh ih seng jiinni ngaakdaap jahala. Arah mih ah etek haat etjih sengseng ih moong arah tumjih tajeeka.
16 so I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
Erah thoidi ngah ih heh ah bot thuk angno ngaakdaap ang.”
Paangrep Khopui romhoon kuh di Pilat ih phaatak ni sak arah wasiit wasiit kah ih daap haatta.
18 But they began to shout as one man, ‘Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.’
Eno miloong loongtang toonriing rumta, “Bangphak nah Rapbot etheng! Barabbas ah daap haat kohe!”
19 (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
(Barabbas ah samnuthung ni haphaangsiitte, nyia mih tek haatte angta.)
20 Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
Pilat ih Jisu ah daap haat thung angta, erah thoih miloong asuh we huk chengta.
21 but they kept calling out, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’
Ang abah uh miloong ah we ngaak riing rumta, “Bangphak nah rapbot theng! Bangphak nah rapbot theng!”
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.’
Eno Pilat ih takjom adi we cheng rumta, “Eno bah heh ih tumjih thetre kota? Ngah ih heh tek haat etjih bah emoong tumjih uh tajap jokang! Ngah ih buthuk angno daap haat ang.”
23 But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
Eno miloong ah erong rongwah ih huk riing rumta Jisu ah tek haat jaatjaat etheng eah, eno neng riingta jun ih tek haatta.
24 Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
Erah thoidi Pilat ih miloong ih jamta jun ih Jisu tek haat mat ah paatta.
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.
Pilat ih mih tek haatte nyia hah phaangphakte Barnabbas ah miloong ih suk kano daap haatta, eno Jisu ah neng lak ni mamet rum abah uh ih korumta.
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.
Sipaahi loong ah ih Jisu siitwan rumta adi, mih wasiit Sirini nawa heh men ah Simoon heh deek akaan nawa samnuthung ko ih kaatte ang arah chomui rumta. Eno neng ih joh rum ano, bangphak ah huithuk rumta, eno Jisu damdam ih roongkhoom thuk rumta.
27 There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
Miloong ah hantek heh lilih ih roong phankhoom rumta; erah dung adi mararah minuh loong ah hethun huungte uh eje ang rumta.
28 So Jesus turned and said to them, ‘Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Eno Jisu ih ngaaksok ano baat rumta, “Jerusalem minuh loong! Nga raangtaan ih nak huung an, erah nang ih bah sensuh sensah nyia sen teenuh raangtaan ih thong huung an.
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!”
Tumeah mina loong ah ame ih jengjih rangwuung ah thok eha, ‘Tumthan khangraangse ah minuh heh sah lataat tupka rah ah, nyia heh sah babah uh lathaak koonchaate loong ah!’
30 At that time people will begin to say to the mountains “Fall on us,” and to the hills “Cover us.”
Erah tokdoh mina loong ih kong akaan suh baat rum ah, ‘Seng khoh nah bokdat raaho!’ Nyia kong loong asuh baat rum ah ‘Seng hottong thuk we he!’
31 If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?’
Erah loong ah bang ejang ang tokdoh mok lang abah, bang loong ehook eah doh tang mamangte ang ah?”
32 There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
Wahoh wanyi ehuh ang arah, Jisu damdi waktek haat et suh siitwan rumta.
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.
Neng ah hah esiit, “Khoraang,” et menta adi thoksiit rum ano, Jisu ah erah di tek haat wanrumta, eno ehuh eleek wanyi ah, wasiit ah dak hekko wasiit jaawako ih tek haat rumta.
34 Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.’ His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
Jisu ah jengta,” Ewah! Biin anaan et rum uh, tumeah neng ih tajatka neng tumjih reela rah ah.” Henyuh hekhat ah neng chamchi ni jongteh ah tooloom rum ano pheehaat rumta.
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.’
Jehudi mihak phokhoh loong ih Jisu ah putbeek ngitkhuung rumta tokdi mih loong ah ih ban sok ruh et rumta: “Heh ih mihoh ah epuipang kah eta; Rangte ih danjeeta Kristo rah ang abah heh teeteewah rah toom puipang thaak ah!”
36 The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
Sipaahi loong rah ih putbeek ngitkhuung et rumta: Jisu jiinni wang rum leh thaangneejih kham ah koh ih rumta,
37 and saying as they did so, ‘If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.’
eno li rumta, “Jehudi luungwang anglu bah an teeteewah ah puipang thaak uh!”
38 Above him were the words – “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Heh khothung adi amet raangta: “Arah Jehudi luungwang.”
39 One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. ‘Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us,’ he said.
Ehuh eleek wasiit heh reeni chiita warah ih Jisu suh kaanju lam ih liita: “An ah Kristo tanih angko? An teewah ah puipang sek ah puipang et heetih ba!”
40 But the other rebuked him. ‘Haven’t you,’ he said, ‘any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
Eno wasiit ah ih, kanjaata, ame jeng ano ah “Rangte ra tanih cho ko? An chamlu ah likhiik heh uh emamah ih chamla.
41 And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
Ang abah uh, sek chamliitih abah echamjih, tumeah sek ah ethetre ih thoidi chamliitih, enoothong heh bah tumjih uh lathika di cham kola.”
42 Jesus,’ he went on, ‘do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.’
Eno heh ih Jisu suh liita, Jisu ngah bah dokthun et weehang, luungwang ih hoon uno raaho doh ah!”
43 And Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.’
Jisu ih baatta, “Ngah ih kakham hala, an chiinyah Jumlam nah nga damdoh roong angho.”
44 It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,
Erah tok adi rangnithung asih saapoot nyi angta rangsa rah nakdat ano harep ni rangja ko saasong saapakjom tuk ih laamang ih hoonta; eno Rangteenok ni chiita nyuh loong ah khoonyi khoonyi ih khoodatta.
45 the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
46 Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ And with these words he expired.
Jisu ah erong ih riinghuungta, “Ewah! Ngah ih ngaachi ngaala an lak ni kohala!” Erah ah jeng ano tiita.
47 The Roman centurion, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, ‘This must have been a good man!’
Sipaahi saahaap ah ih erah loong ah tup ano, Rangte rang ah phoongta, ame jeng ano ah, “Amiisak heh bah mise ju ang kota!”
48 All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
Tumjih angla ih sokte lomkhoon rumta mina loong ah neng nok ni ngaak wang rum adi, neng teekhuh ah buh rum ano thungthih rumta.
49 All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
Jisu men jatte loong nyia Galili nawa minuh loong heh lilih ih phan khoomte loong ah haloot ni chap rum ano ban sok rumta.
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.
Erah di mih wasiit heh men ah Josep Arimathia nok hate, Judia hah nawa angta. Heh ah wase nyi mih ih soomtuute angta, heh ih Rangte Hasong kaat ah bansokte angta. Heh ah ngoong awang dung ni phokhoh taat ang abah uh, neng kaanthot nyia neng reeraang adi takah roong junta.
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.
52 He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
Heh ih Pilat pandi wang ano Jisu mang ah suh wangta.
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.
Eno heh ih mang ah datthiin ano, nyuleep nyuh ih khoon ano mangbeng ah jong jaan khoni thoh ano wahoh babah uh lathaak bengka adi thiin kaatta.
54 It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.
Erah sa ah sa banga rangwuung angta, eno Jehudi naangtongsa ah thok ih taha.
55 The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
Galili nawa Jisu lilih ih wang rum taha loong ah Josep damdi roongwang rum ano Jisu mang ah mamet thiin rumha ih mangbeng ah sokwang rumta.
56 and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment.
Eno neng nok ni ngaak wang rum ano etingtak etjih nyia phontum mang sak adoh hut suh jam wang rumta. Neng tongta sa ah Hootthe jun ih Jehudi naangtongsa angta.
