Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
Akhawnbang khawnthaw ah loe, kalen koek qaima, kacoehtanawk, ca tarik kaminawk hoi lokcaekkungnawk lok aram o, Jesu to pathlet o, anih to hoih o moe, Pilat khaeah thak o.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Pilat mak anih khaeah, Nang loe Judahnawk ih Siangpahrang maw? tiah dueng. Anih mah Pilat khaeah, Na thuih ih baktiah ka oh, tiah pathim pae.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Kalen koek qaima mah anih nuiah pop parai zae nethaih to tawnh: toe anih mah tidoeh pathim pae ai.
4 So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
Pilat mah anih to lokdueng let, Tih lok doeh na pathim ai maw? Khenah nang zaehaih net kami nazetto maw oh o! tiah a naa.
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Toe Jesu mah tidoeh pathim pae ai; to pongah Pilat loe dawnrai.
6 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
Misong loihaih ni phak naah loe, kaminawk mah loisak koeh ih thongim krah kami maeto loisakhaih atawk to oh.
7 [At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
To naah kami hum Barabba, tiah ahmin kaom maeto loe mingcah angmah ampuinawk hoiah nawnto thongkrak; nihcae loe misa angthawk o moe, kami to hum o.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Pop parai kaminawk loe sakzong ih baktih toengah Pilat mah nihcae koehhaih sak pae hanah a hnik o.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Toe Pilat mah nihcae khaeah, Judah Siangpahrang kang prawt pae hanah na koeh o maw? tiah a naa.
10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
Kalen koek qaima mah ut pongah ni Jesu to anih khaeah paek, tito Pilat mah panoek.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Toe Pilat mah Barabba prawt thaih han ai ah, qaima mah kaminawk to pacuek.
12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
Pilat mah nihcae khaeah, to tih nahaeloe Judah Siangpahrang, tiah na kawk o ih kami loe kawbangmaw ka sak han? tiah a naa let.
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Nihcae mah, Anih to thinglam pong takhing ah, tiah hang o let.
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Pilat mah nihcae khaeah, Tipongah, tih zaehaih maw a sak loe? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah kanung aep ah, Anih to thinglam pong takhing ah, tiah hang o.
15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
Pilat mah palungphui kaminawk dipsak han koeh pongah, Barabba to nihcae khaeah prawt pae, Jesu to a boh pacoengah, thinglam pong takhing hanah nihcae khaeah a paek.
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
Misatuh kaminawk mah anih to praetorium, tiah kawk ih impui thungah caeh o haih; misatuh kaminawk boih nawnto angcuu o.
17 [After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Anih to kahni kamling angkhuk o sak, soekhring lumuek to sak pae o moe, anih ih lu ah angmuek o sak.
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
Nang loe Judah Siangpahrang, tiah a naa o.
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
A lu ah cung hoi boh o pacoengah, anih to tamtui hoiah pathoih o, ahma ah khokkhu cangkrawn o moe, anih to a bok o.
20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
Nihcae mah pahnui o thuih pacoengah, kahni kamling to khring pae o, angmah ih kahni to angkhuk o sak pacoengah, anih to thinglam pong takhing hanah caeh o haih.
21 [After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
Alexander hoi Rufus ih ampa, Cyrene prae kami Simon loe, lawk hoiah angzoh, loklam ah a caeh li naah, anih to thinglam aput o sak nganga.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Anih to Golgotha, tiah kawk ih ahmuen ah caeh o haih, to ahmuen loe, Lu huh ahmuen, tih thuih koehhaih ih ni.
23 Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
Nihcae mah anih to myrrh hoi atok ih misurtui to paek o: toe anih mah nae pae ai.
24 [Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
Nihcae mah anih to thinglam pong takhing o pacoengah, a lak o hanah taham khethaih to sak o pacoengah, anih ih kahni to amzet o.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Atue thumto naah anih to takhing o.
26 They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
Zae nethaih ca to JUDAH SIANGPAHRANG, tiah a nuiah tarik pae o.
27 They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
Mingcah hnik loe anih hoi nawnto, a bantang bangah maeto, a banqoi bangah kalah maeto thinglam pongah takhing o.
Anih loe kazae kaminawk hoi kroek o hmaek tih, tiah tarik ih cabu lok to akoep boeh.
29 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
To ahmuen ah caeh kaminawk loe lu haek o moe, anih khaeah, Ha ha, tempul to phraek moe, ni thumto naah kasah let, nang,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
nangmah hoi nangmah to amhlong ah loe, thinglam nui hoiah anghum tathuk khae, tiah padaeng o.
31 The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
To baktih toengah kalen koek qaima hoi ca tarik kaminawk mah doeh, Minawk kalah loe a pahlong moe, angmah hoi angmah loe amhlong thai ai, tiah maeto hoi maeto thuih o moe, pahnuih o thuih toeng.
32 He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
Kri, Israel Siangpahrang, to ka hnuk o moe, ka tang o thai hanah, thinglam nui hoiah anghum tathuk nasoe, tiah a naa o. Anih hoi nawnto thinglam pong takhing ih kami hnik mah doeh anih to padaeng hoi toeng.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Atue tarukto hoi takawtto karoek to long pum ah khoving.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Atue takawtto naah loe Jesu mah, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani, tiah tha hoi hangh, a thuih koehhaih loe, Ka Sithaw, Ka Sithaw, tipongah nang caehtaak loe? Tih haih ih ni.
35 When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
A taengah angdoe thoemto kaminawk mah, to lok to thaih o naah, Khenah, Elijah mue a kawk, tiah thuih o.
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
Kami maeto loe cawnh moe, lawprawn kanaem to misurtui kathaw thungah nup, cunghet nuiah takaek pacoengah, naek hanah anih to paek, anghngai o duem ah; anih lak hanah Elijah angzo tih vai, khen o si, tiah thuih o.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Jesu tha hoi hangh pacoengah, hinghaih qui to apet.
38 [At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
To naah tempul thungah payang ih kahni to ranui hoi atlim bang khoek to hnetto ah angsih.
39 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
Anih loe hangh moe, hinghaih qui apet boeh, tiah a hma ah angdoe misatuh ukkung mah hnuk naah, hae kami loe Sithaw Capa tangtang ni, tiah thuih.
40 There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
Thoemto nongpatanawk mah doeh ahmuen kangthla hoiah khet o toeng: to nongpatanawk thungah Meri Magdalene, kanawk Jakob, Jose ih amno Meri hoi Salome to oh;
(hae nongpatanawk loe, Anih Kalili ah oh naah, anih hnukah bang o moe, anih ih tok to sak pae o; ) anih hoi nawnto Jerusalem ah angzo paroeai kalah nongpatanawk doeh oh o.
42 When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
Sabbath ni pha ai duembang, Amprikcaihaih Ni phak naah,
Arimathea avang ih, khingya han koi kaom, rangpui mah qoih ih kami, Sithaw ukhaih prae zing kami, Joseph to angzoh, anih loe misahoihaih hoiah Pilat khaeah caeh moe, Jesu ih qok to hnik.
44 Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
Anih loe duek boeh, tiah Pilat mah thaih naah dawnrai: misatuh angraeng to angmah khaeah kawk moe, anih duekhaih akra boeh maw, tiah lok a dueng.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Anih loe duek boeh tih ih lok to misatuh angraeng khae hoiah panoek naah, qok to Joseph khaeah a paek.
46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
Joseph mah anih ih qok to lak moe, a qan ih puu kahni hoiah anih to ayaw pacoengah, thlung hoiah thuk ih taprong thungah anih to pasongh, to pacoengah taprong akhaw to thlung hoiah a kraeng.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Anih aphumhaih ahmuen loe Meri Magdalene hoi Jose ih amno Meri mah doeh panoek.
