¹Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

¹Huan jingsang a hong hih in siampu liante leh vantang upate tengteng Jesu hihlum ding in a tung thu ah a kihou ua;

²and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

²huan, a gak ua, a pi ua, gam ukpa Pilat kiang ah a peta ua.

³Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

³Huan, Juda a mansakpa'n Jesu siamlouh a tangsak uh chih a theih tak in a kisik a, dangka sawmthum tuh siampu liante leh upate kiang ah a hon tawi nawn a.

⁴saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou [to it].

⁴Mi dik sisan ka khot tuh thil ka na hihkhial ahi, a chi a. Amau tuh, Huai kou a ding in bang a khawk dia? Nang na lohloh loh in, a chihsan ua.

⁵And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

⁵Huan, aman tuh dangka tuh mun siangthou ah a pailut a, a paimang a; a va awklumta.

⁶And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.

⁶Huan, siampu liante'n dangka tuh a la ua, Hiai thohlawm bawm a koih a siangkei, sisan man ahi ngal a, a chi ua.

⁷And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

⁷Huchi in, a kihou ua, mikhualte vuina ding in belvelmi mun a leita uh.

⁸Wherefore that field was called, the field of blood, unto this day.

⁸Huaizaik in ahi, huai mun tuh tutan a Sisan Mun a chih uh.

⁹Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom [certain] of the children of Israel did price;

⁹Huan, jawlnei Jeremia in a na gen, Huan dangka sawmthum, amah man ding a Israel tate lak a kuate hiam in a sak uh tuh, a lata ua;

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

¹⁰Toupa'n hon hilh bang in belvel mi mun man ding in a pia ua, chih a hong tangtungta.

¹¹Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

¹¹Huan, Jesu tuh gam ukpa ma ah a ding a. Huan, gam ukpa'n, Judate kumpipa na hi hia? chi in, a dong a. Huan, Jesu'n a kiang ah, Hi e, a chi a.

¹²And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹²Huan, siampu liante leh upate'n a heklai un bangmah in a dawngkei a.

¹³Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹³Huchi in, Pilat in a kiang ah, A hon hekna zouzai uh na za ka hia? a chi a.

¹⁴And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

¹⁴Huan, kamkhat lel in leng a dawngkei a; huchi in gam ukpa'n lamdang a sa mahmah a.

¹⁵Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁵Huan, gam ukpa'n ankuanglui ni in mi henta khat, a deihdeih uh, mipite a ding in a pawtsak jel a.

¹⁶And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁶Huan, huailai in mi henta minthang, Barabba a chih uh a nei ua.

¹⁷When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

¹⁷Huchi in, a hong kikhop un, Pilat in a kiang uah, Kua hon pawtsak leng na ut ua? Barabba hia, Jesu Kris kichi? a chi a.

¹⁸For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁸Hajatna jiak in amah a mansak uh chih a thei ngal a.

¹⁹And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

¹⁹Huan, vaihawmna tutphah a a tutlai in, a ji in, Huai midik tungah bangmah hih ken, tuni in amah jiak in mang in thil tampi ka thuak ahi, chi in thu a khak a.

²⁰Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²⁰Huan, siampu liante leh upate'n Barabba nget a Jesu hih mangthat ding in, mipite a khem ua.

²¹But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

²¹Gam ukpa'n bel amau a houpih a, Amau nihte a kua jaw hon pawtsak leng chi na hi ua? a chi nawn a.

²²Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

²²Huan, amau tuh, Barabba, a chi ua. Pilat in a kiang uah, Jesu Kris kichi, bang ka chihta dia le? a chi a. Avek un, Amah jaw kros ah kilhden in om heh, a chi ua.

²³And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

²³Huan, aman, Bang di'n maw? Bang a hihkhial a ahia? a chi a. Himahleh, amau tuh, Kros ah kilhden in om heh, chi in, a kikou vengvung ua.

²⁴So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye [to it].

²⁴Huchi in, Pilat in bangmah a hih theikei a, a hong buai deuhdeuh zo ding chih a theih in, tui a la a, mipite ma ah a khut a sil a, Hiai midik sisan ah ka siang e; noumau na lohloh loh un, a chi a.

²⁵And all the people answered and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.

²⁵Huan, mipi tengteng in, A sisan jaw koumau tungah leh ka tate uh tungah om heh, chi in a dawng ua.

²⁶Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁶Huaikhit in Barabba tuh a pawtsak a; Jesu bel a jep a, kros a kilhden ding in a peta a.

²⁷Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered unto him the whole band.

²⁷Huai khit in, gam ukpa sepaite'n Jesu tuh inpi ah a pilut ua, a pawl ua mi tengteng a kiang ah a hongkhawm ua.

²⁸And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁸Huchi in, a puante khawng a suahsak ua, puan san a silhsak uhi.

²⁹And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

²⁹Huan, linglukhu a phan ua, a khusak ua, a khut taklam in sialluang a tawisak ua; a ma ah a khukdin ua, Chibai, Judate kumpipa, chi in nuihza bawlna'n a nei uh.

³⁰And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

³⁰Huan, amah chil a siat ua, sialluang a laksak ua, a lu ah a khen ua.

³¹And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.

³¹Huan, nuihza bawlna dia a neih khit un, puan tuh a suah sak ua, amah puante tuh a silhsak nawn ua, kros a kilhden ding in a pita uh.

³²And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go [with them], that he might bear his cross.

³²Huan, a pai khiak lai un, Kurini khua a mi, a min Simon a mu ua; huai mi tuh a kros po ding in a man ua.

³³And they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,

³³Huan, Golgotha kichi mun a hongtun un, (Luguh mun chihna a hi)

³⁴they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁴uain thuk, bangkhat kha toh hel, dawn ding in a pia ua, himahleh a chep tak in a dawn nuamkei a.

³⁵And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots;

³⁵Huan, kros a a kilhden khit un, aisan in a puansilh tuh a kihawm ua.

³⁶and they sat and watched him there.

³⁶Huan, huai ah a tu ua a vengta ua.

³⁷And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁷Huan, a hekna, HIAI JUDATE KUMPIPA JESU A HI, chia gelh, a lu tungah a suang uh.

³⁸Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

³⁸Huan, amah toh, suamhat nih a kilhden lai ua, a taklam ah khat a veilam ah khat.

³⁹And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

³⁹Huan, mi vialvak peuh in a enghou ua,

⁴⁰and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴⁰a lu uh sinkhum a, Nang Pathian biakin hihsia a ni thum a lam nawnpa, kihihdam in; Pathian Tapa na hih leh kros a kipan hong kumsuk tanla, chi in.

⁴¹In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴¹Huchimah bang in siampu lalte'n, laigelhmite toh, enghou in,

⁴²He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

⁴²Mi dang bawn a hihdam jel, amah leh amah kihihdam theilou pi in. Israelte kumpipa a hihngal leh tu in kros a kipan hong kum leh a kei dia, huchi in amah tuh i gingta mai ding.

⁴³He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴³Pathian a muang na a ka, amah jaw, a ut leh tun ah hondam leh a ke; Pathian Tapa ka hi, a chi ngal a, a chi ua.

⁴⁴And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

⁴⁴Suamhat a kilhden un leng, huchimah bang in a enghou a.

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵Huan dak gukna a kipan dak kua tan in khovel a hong mial vekta a.

⁴⁶And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁶Huan, dak kua ding khawng in, Jesu tuh ngaihtak in a kikou a, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabak thani? chi in, a kikoukhia a, huai tuh, Ka Pathian, ka Pathian bangdia hon paisan? chihna ahi.

⁴⁷And some of them stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.

⁴⁷Huan, a kiang a ding khenkhatte'n huai a jak un, Hiai mi'n Elija sam ahi, a chi ua.

⁴⁸And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁸Huan, a lak ua mi khat kintak in a taipah a, spanji a la a, uain thuk ah a diah dim a, chiang ah a suang a, a dawnsak tou a.

⁴⁹And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.

⁴⁹Huan, Midangte'n, Thudon dah un, amah lakhe ding in Elija a hong hiam i en ding a chi ua.

⁵⁰And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵⁰Huan, Jesu tuh ngaihtak in a kikou nawn a, a kha a khahta a.

⁵¹And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;

⁵¹Huan, ngai dih, Pathian biakin puanjak tuh a tunglam a kipan a nuailam tan in hong keksuakta a; huan, jin bang a hong ling a, suangpite a hong khangkham a; hante a hong kihong a;

⁵²and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵²mi siangthou ihmusate sapum tampi leng kaihthoh in a omta ua;

⁵³and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

⁵³huaite tuh, A thoh nawn nung in, han a pat hong pawt in kho siangthou ah a lut ua, mi tampi lak ah a kilakta ua.

⁵⁴Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁴Huan, sepaih zaheutu leh a kiang a Jesu veng a omsamte'n, jinling leh thil omdante a muh un a lauta mahmah ua, Hiai mi Pathian Tapa ahi ngeingei, a chi ua.

⁵⁵And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁵⁵Huan, huailai ah, numei tampi, a nasepsak kawm zel a Galili gam a kipan a hon juite a om ua, gamlapi ah a en ua;

⁵⁶among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁶huaite lak ah tuh Mari Magdalini, Mari Jakob leh Joseph nu, Zebedai tapate nute a om ua.

⁵⁷And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

⁵⁷Huan, nitaklam a honghih in, mi hau, a min Joseph Arimathai khua a, a hongpaia, amah ngei leng Jesu nungjui ahi sam a;

⁵⁸this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.

⁵⁸Huai mi tuh Pilat kiangah a vahoh a, Jesu luang a ngen a. Huan, Pilatin pe dingin thu a pia a.

⁵⁹And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁵⁹Huchiin Joseph in a luang tuh a la a, puan malngat siangtakin a tuama,

⁶⁰and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶⁰A han thak, suang khuakkuak ah a sial a; han kongkhak ah suang lian pi in a delh a, a paita.

⁶¹And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶¹Huan, huai lai ah tuh Mari Magdalini leh Mari dang a om ua, han ma jawnah a tu ua.

⁶²Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

⁶²Huan, a jing in, huai tuh Kiginni jing ahi, siampu liante leh pharisaite Pialt kiang ah a om khawm kheukhou ua,

⁶³saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.

⁶³Pu huai mikhemhat in, a damlai in, Ni thum nung in ka thou nawn ding, a chih ka thei gige ua.

⁶⁴Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

⁶⁴Huchi in han tuh ni thum ni tan a veng hoih ding in thu pia in; huchilou in jaw a nungjuite'n amah a va gu kha ding ua, vantang kiang ah, Misi lak a kipan a thou nawnta ahi, a chi kha ding uh; huchin khemna nanung jaw tuh a masa sang in a hoih keizo sem ding, a chi ua.

⁶⁵Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it [as] sure as ye can.

⁶⁵Pilat in a kiang uah, Vengmi sepaihte na nei ve ua oi; pai unla, na hihtheih bang un veng hoihsak ta unla, a chi a.Huchi innvengmi sepaihte toh a va hoh ua, han tuh a veng hoihsak ua, suang tuh achiamteh uh.

⁶⁶So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.

⁶⁶Huchi innvengmi sepaihte toh a va hoh ua, han tuh a veng hoihsak ua, suang tuh achiamteh uh.
