Luke 23
1 Pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻo taki ia kia Pailato.
And the whole number of them arose, and led him away to Pilate.
2 Pea naʻa nau kamata talatalaakiʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mau ʻilo ʻae siana ni ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai, ʻo ne taʻofi ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, ʻo ne pehē, ko ia pe ko e Kalaisi ko e Tuʻi.”
And they began to accuse him, saying: We found this man turning the people away, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
3 Pea fehuʻi ʻa Pailato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e Tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu?” Pea leaange ʻe ia kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia pe.”
And Pilate asked him, saying: Are you the king of the Jews? He answered and said to him: You say it.
4 Pea pehē ai ʻe Pailato ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kakai, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻi he tangata ni.”
Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no fault in this man.
5 Pea ʻāsili ai ʻenau lili, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai, ʻo ne ako ʻi Siutea kotoa, ngata mei Kāleli ʻo aʻu ki he potu ni.”
But they became the more urgent, and said: He excites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pailato ki ai, pea fehuʻi ai ia pe ko e tangata Kāleli ia.
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻoku ne mei he feituʻu ʻoku pule ai ʻa Helota, pea ne fekau ia kia Helota, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema foki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
And when he learned that he belonged to the dominion of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was at that time in Jerusalem.
8 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Helota kia Sisu, naʻe fiefia lahi ia; he kuo fuoloa mo ʻene holi ke mamata ki ai, koeʻuhi kuo ne fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻiate ia: pea ne fakaʻamu ke mamata ki haʻa ne fai ha meʻa mana.
When Herod saw Jesus, he rejoiced greatly; for he had, for a long time, desired to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign done by him.
9 Pea naʻe lahi ʻene ngaahi ʻeke kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ʻe ia ki ai.
And he questioned him concerning many things; but he made him no answer.
10 Pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi, ʻonau talatalaaki mālohi ia.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, and vehemently accused him.
11 Pea taukaea ia ʻe Helota, mo ʻene kautau, mo nau manukiʻi, pea nau ʻai ʻae kofu ngingila kiate ia, ʻo toe fekau ia kia Pailato.
But Herod and his guards treated him with contempt; and having mocked him, and put on him a gaudy robe, he sent him back to Pilate.
12 Pea ko e ʻaho ko ia naʻe feʻofoʻofani ai ʻa Pailato mo Helota: he kuo loa ʻena feʻiteʻitani.
And on the same day, Pilate and Herod became friends to each other; for, before this, they had been at enmity the one toward the other.
13 Pea kuo fakataha ʻe Pailato ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kakai,
And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou ʻomi ʻae tangata ni kiate au, ʻo hangē ko ha taha ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai pea vakai, kuo u ʻekea[ia] ʻi homou ʻao; pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻoe tangata ni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mou talatalaakiʻi ai ia:
and said to them: You have brought to me this man as one that turns the people away; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found in this man no fault, with respect to the things of which you accuse him;
15 Pea ko Helota foki; he naʻaku fekau ʻakimoutolu kiate ia; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku totonu ke mate ai ia.”
nor indeed did Herod; for I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”
I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him.
17 (He kuo totonu ke ne tukuange kiate kinautolu ha tokotaha ʻi he kātoanga.)
For it was necessary that he should release to them one at the feast.
18 Pea naʻa nau kalanga fakataha kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ʻae tangata ni, kae tuku mai ʻa Palāpasa kiate kimautolu:”
And the whole multitude cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas.
19 (ʻAia naʻe lī ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko[ʻene ]fakaaoao ʻi he kolo, mo e fakapō.)
He, for a certain seditious movement that had been made in the city, and for murder, had been thrown into prison.
20 Ka naʻe loto ʻa Pailato ke tukuange ʻa Sisu, ko ia ne ne toe lea ai [kiate kinautolu].
Therefore Pilate, desiring to release Jesus, again called to them.
21 Ka naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tutuki ki he ʻakau, tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.”
But they answered, saying: Crucify, crucify him.
22 Pea lea ia kiate kinautolu ko hono tuʻo tolu, “Koeʻumaʻā, ko e hā ha kovi kuo ne fai? ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia: ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”
He said to them the third time: Why, what evil has he done? I have found nothing in him worthy of death. I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him.
23 Ka naʻe mālohi ʻenau lea pea longoaʻa lahi, ʻonau pehē, “Ke tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.” Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae leʻo ʻokinautolu mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi.
But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed.
24 Pea fekau ʻe Pailato ke fai ʻo hangē ko honau loto.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they demanded.
25 Pea ne tukuange kiate kinautolu ia naʻa nau holi ki ai, ʻaia naʻe lī ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko e fakaaoao mo e fakapō; ka ne tukuange ʻa Sisu ki honau loto.
And he released him that for a seditious movement, and for murder, had been thrown into prison, whom they demanded; but Jesus, he delivered up to their will.
26 Pea ʻi heʻenau kei taki atu ia, naʻa nau puke ʻae tokotaha ko Saimone, ko e Sailini, ʻoku haʻu mei he tukuʻuta, pea naʻa nau hili kiate ia ʻae ʻakau, ke ne fua ʻo muimui ia Sisu.
And as they led him away, they laid hold of Simon, a certain Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it after Jesus.
27 Pea naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, mo e kau fefine, ʻonau tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko ia.
And there followed him a great number of the people, and of women that bewailed and lamented him.
28 Ka naʻe tafoki ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻOua naʻa mou tangi koeʻuhi ko au, kae tangi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea mo hoʻomou fānau.
But Jesus turned, and said to them, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Vakai, he ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho te nau pehē ai, ‘ʻOku monūʻia ʻae paʻa, pea mo e manāva naʻe ʻikai fānau, mo e huhū naʻe ʻikai fakahuhūʻaki.’
For, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30 Pea te nau toki kamata lea ai ki he ngaahi moʻunga, “Holo mai kiate kimautolu:” pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, “Uʻufi ʻakimautolu.”’
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 He kapau te nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ki he ʻakau mata, ko e hā ʻe fai ki he mōmoa?”
For, if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Pea naʻe tataki mo ia foki ʻae ongo fai kovi ʻe toko ua ke tāmateʻi.
And two others, who were evil-doers, were led out to be put to death with him.
33 Pea kuo nau hoko ki he potu ʻoku ui ko Kalivali, naʻa nau tuki ia ʻi ai ki he ʻakau, mo e ongo fai kovi, ko e tokotaha ki he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e tokotaha ki he nima toʻohema.
And when they came to the place called Skull, they there crucified him and the evil-doers; one on the right, and the other on the left.
34 Pea toki pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻE Tamai, fakamolemole ʻakinautolu; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku nau fai.” Pea naʻa nau vahevahe ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, ʻo talotalo.
And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And dividing his clothing into parts, they cast lots.
35 Pea tuʻu ʻae kakai, ʻo mamata. Pea nau manuki mo e kau matāpule[kiate ia], ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae kakai; tuku ke ne fakamoʻui ia, ʻo kapau ko e Kalaisi ia, ko e ʻofeina ʻae ʻOtua.”
And the people stood and looked on. And the rulers, with them scoffed at him, saying: He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God.
36 Pea manukiʻi foki ia ʻe he kau tau, mo nau ʻalu ange, ʻo ʻatu ʻae vaimahi kiate ia,
The soldiers also derided him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 Mo nau pehē, “Kapau ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu, fakamoʻui koe.”
and saying: If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.
38 Pea naʻe tohi foki ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia, ʻae tohi ʻi he lea fakaKiliki, mo e lea fakaLoma, mo e lea fakaHepelū, KO ENI ʻAE TUʻI ʻOE KAKAI SIU.
And a superscription was also written over him in Greek and in Roman and in Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Pea naʻe manuki kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻoe ongo fai kovi naʻe tautau, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau ko e Kalaisi koe, fakamoʻui koe mo kimaua.”
And one of the evil-doers that were hanged reviled him, saying: If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.
40 Ka naʻe leaange ʻa hono toko ua, ʻo ne valoki ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai te ke manavahē koe ki he ʻOtua, he ʻoku ke malaʻia foki?
But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation?
41 Pea ʻoku totonu kiate kitaua, he ko e totongi totonu ʻo ʻeta ngāue: ka naʻe ʻikai ha kovi ʻe fai ʻe he tangata ni.”
And we justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.
42 Pea pehē ʻe ia kia Sisu, “ʻEiki ke ke manatuʻi au, ʻoka ke ka hoko ki ho puleʻanga.”
And he said to Jesus: Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni kiate koe, Te ta ʻi Palataisi mo au he ʻaho ni.”
And Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, to-day you shall be with me in paradise.
44 Pea ko hono ono nai ia ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae fonua kotoa pē, ʻo aʻu ki hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour.
45 Pea fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā, pea mahae ua mālie ʻae puipui ʻoe falelotu lahi.
And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Pea tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ‘ʻoku ou tuku hoku laumālie ki ho nima: pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea pekia ia.’”
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.
47 Pea kuo mamata ʻae ʻeikitau ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea fakamālō ia ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē, “Tā ko e moʻoni ko e tangata māʻoniʻoni eni.”
When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying: Truly, this was a righteous man.
48 Pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe kātoa ki he vakai ʻoe meʻa ko ia, ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai, naʻa nau si fatafata, ʻo toe ʻalu.
And all the multitudes that had come together to that sight, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting their breasts.
49 Pea ko hono kāinga kotoa pē, mo e kau fefine naʻe muimui ʻiate ia mei Kāleli, naʻa nau tutuʻu mei he mamaʻo, ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance looking on these things.
50 Pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe hingoa ko Siosefa, ko e fakamaau, ko e tangata lelei pea angatonu:
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor, a good and a just man;
51 (Naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki he fakakaukau mo e ngāue ʻanautolu: ) ko e ʻAlematea [ia], ko e kolo ʻoe kakai Siu: pea naʻe tatali foki ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
(he had not given his consent to their counsel and deed; ) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he himself also waited for the kingdom of God:
52 Naʻe ʻalu ia kia Pailato, ʻo ne kole ʻae sino ʻo Sisu.
this man came to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 Pea ne vete hifo ia, ʻo fakakoloa ʻaki ia ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo tuku ia ki he fonualoto kuo tā ʻi he loto maka, ʻaia naʻe teʻeki fakatokoto ai ha tokotaha.
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that had been hewed in rock, in which no one had yet been laid.
54 Pea ko e ʻaho teuteu ia, pea kuo ofi ʻae Sāpate.
And the day was the preparation, and the sabbath was beginning.
55 Ko e kau fefine foki, naʻe omi mo ia mei Kāleli, naʻa nau muimui mai, ʻo, mamata ki he fonualoto, mo e tuku ʻo hono sino.
And the women that had come with him from Galilee followed after and saw the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
56 Pea naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo tokonaki ʻae ngaahi ʻakau namu kakala mo e lolo tākai; pea nau mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻo hangē ko e fekau.
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointment; and they rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
