¹त्यसछि तिनीहरू सबै उठे अनि येशूलाई पिलातसकहाँ पुर्योए।

¹And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.

²तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई दोष दिन थाले। तिनीहरूले पिलातसलाई भने, “उहाँले हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई पथ भ्रष्ट गराँउदै थिए र हामीले उहाँलाई पक्रेकाछौं। उहाँले सिजरलाई कर तिर्नु विरोध गर्नुहुन्छ। उहाँ दावी गर्नु हुन्छ, उहाँ ख्रीष्ट राजा हुनुन्छ।”

²And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this [man] perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

³पिलातसले यशूलाई भने, “के तपाईं यहूदीहरूका राजा हुनुहुन्छ?” येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो, “हो, त्यो सही हो।”

³And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art *thou* the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.

⁴पिलातसले मुख्य पूजाहारीहरू अनि अग्रज मानिसहरूलाई भने, “मैले यो मानिसमाथि आरोप थोप्न कुनै दोष पाइन।”

⁴And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.

⁵तिनीहरूले घरि घरि भने, “तर यो मानिसले! यहूदीयाभरि मानिसहरूलाई उहाँको शिक्षाले उत्तेजित पारी रहेकोछ। उहाँले गालीलमा शुरू गर्नुभयो, अनि अहिले यहीं हुनुहुन्छ।”

⁵But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.

⁶यो सुने पछि यो मानिस गालीलबाट आएको हो होइन पिलातसले सोधे।

⁶But Pilate, having heard Galilee [named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean;

⁷पिलातसले चाल पाए कि येशू हेरोदको क्षेत्रका थिए। त्यस समय हेरोद यरूशलेममा नै थिए। त्यसैले पिलातसले उहाँलाई हेरोदकहाँ पठाए।

⁷and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁸जब हेरोदले येशूलाई देखे, उनी अत्यन्त खुशी भए। हेरोदले येशूको विषयमा सबै सुनेका थिए। यसैले धेरै दिनदेखि येशूलाई भेट्ने उनको इच्छा थियो। येशूले केही चमत्कार देखाउन् भन्ने हेरोदले आशा गरे।

⁸And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;

⁹हेरोदले उहाँलाई अनेकौं प्रश्नहरू गरे, तर येशूले कुनै उत्तर दिनुभएन।

⁹and he questioned him in many words, but *he* answered him nothing.

¹⁰मुख्य पूजाहारी र व्यवस्थाका शास्त्रीहरू त्यहीं उभिरहेका थिए। तिनीहरू येशूको विरुद्ध दोष लगाएर कराइरहेका थिए।

¹⁰And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.

¹¹तब हेरोद र तिनका सिपाहीहरूले येशूलाई खिसी गरे। तिनीहरूले येशूलाई राजाको पोशाक पहिराइ दिएर पिलातस भएकहाँ नै पठाए।

¹¹And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

¹²बितेका दिनाहरूमा हेरोद र पिलातस माझ शत्रुता थियो। तर त्यस दिन ती दुइमाझ मित्रता शुरू भयो।

¹²And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.

¹³पिलातसले मुख्य पूजाहारीहरू र यहूदी शासकहरू

¹³And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴पिलातसले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले यो मानिसलाई मकहाँ ल्यायौ। तिमीहरूले भन्यौ कि यो मानिसले मानिसहरूलाई मकहाँ उत्तेजित गराइरहेकोछ। तर मैलै तिमीहरूकै अघि उहाँलाई जाँचे। तर तिमीहरूले लगाएको कुनै पनि दोषरोपनमा मैले उहाँमाथि कुनै दोष पाईन।

¹⁴said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

¹⁵त्यसरी नै हेरोदले पनि उहाँमा कुनै दोष देखेनन्। तिनले त्यसैले गर्दा उहाँलाई हामीकहाँ पठाएका हुन्। हेर, येशूले कुनै दोष गर्नु भएको छैन कि उहाँले मृत्यु दण्ड पाउन्।

¹⁵nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

¹⁶यसकारण, म उहाँलाई हलुका सजाय दिएर छोडिदिनेछु।”

¹⁶Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.

¹⁷[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

¹⁷( Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)

¹⁸तर सबै मानिसहरू चिच्याए, “उसलाई मार्नै पर्छ। बरू बरब्बासलाई छोडिदिनुहोस्।”

¹⁸But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;

¹⁹बरब्बासले शहरमा दङ्गा फैलाएको कारण झयालखानमा परेका थियो। त्यसले हत्या पनि गरेको थियो।

¹⁹who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.

²⁰पिलातसले येशूलाई मुक्त गर्न चहान्थे। फेरि उनले येशूलाई छोडिदिने बारे तिनीहरूसँग कूरा गरे।

²⁰Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].

²¹तर तिनीहरू चिच्याइरहे, “उसलाई क्रूसमा झुण्डयाऊ, उसलाई क्रूसमा झुण्डयाऊ।”

²¹But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²²तेस्रोपल्ट पिलातसले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “किन? उहाँले त्यस्तो के गल्ती गर्नु भएको छ? उहाँ दोषी हुनुहुन्न। उहाँलाई मार्नै पर्ने केही कारण भेट्टाइन। यसकारण सामान्य सजाय दिएर म उहाँलाई छोडिदिनेछु।”

²²And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

²³तर येशूलाई क्रूसमा झुण्डाएर मार्नू पर्छ भन्ने विन्ती गर्दै मानिसहरू चिच्याइ रहे।

²³But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.

²⁴तिनीहरू यति साहो चिच्याए कि पिलातसले तिनीहरूको निवेदन पूरा गर्ने निर्णय लिए।

²⁴And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.

²⁵मानिसहरू बरब्बासलाई मुक्त गराउन चहान्थे। बरब्बासले मानिसहरूको हत्या गरेको र आतङक फैलाएको आरोपमा कैदमा परेको थियो। पिलातसले बरब्बासलाई मुक्त गिरदिए। तिनीहरूको इच्छा अनुसार जे गर्नु चाहन्थे त्यही गर्नु तिनीहरूलाई येशूलाई तिनले सुम्पिए।

²⁵And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁶सिपाहीहरूले येशूलाई मार्न टाढा लगेर गए। त्यसैबेला एउटा मानिस खेतबाट आफ्नो शहरतिर र्फकिरहेको थियो। त्यसको नाम शिमोन थियो। शिमोन साइरेनीवासी थिए। सिपाहीहरूले शिमोनलाई येशूको पछि पछि क्रूस बोकेर हिंडन बाध्य गराए।

²⁶And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.

²⁷धेरै मानिसहरू येशूको पछि लागे। कोही स्त्रीहरू दुखी भएर विलाप गरिरहेका थिए।

²⁷And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.

²⁸तर येशूले फर्केर ती स्त्रीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए यरूशलेमका स्त्रीहरू हो, मेरो निम्ति नरोओ। तिमीहरू आफ्नै निम्ति र आफ्नो छोरा-छोरीको निम्ति विलाप गर!

²⁸And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;

²⁹समय त्यस्तो आइरहेकोछ कि मानिसहरूले भन्नेछन्, ‘धन्य हुन ती स्त्रीहरू जसले कहिल्यै पनि बालकहरूलाई दूध चुसाएन।

²⁹for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

³⁰त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले पर्वतहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, हामीमाथि खस्! अनि पहाडलाई भन्नेछन्, हामीलाई छोप!

³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

³¹जब जीवन सुखी हुँदा यदि मानिसहरूले यस्तो कर्म गर्छन् भने, जब नराम्रो समय आएको बेला के हुने होला?”

³¹for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

³²दूइजना अरू अपराधीहरूलाई पनि उहांसंगै मार्न अघि लगाइएको थियो।

³²Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

³³येशू र ती दुइ अपराधीहरूलाई “खप्परे” भन्ने ठाँउमा लगियो। सिपाहीहरूले येशूलाई काँटी ठोकेर क्रूसको दुइ छेउमा तिनीहरूले ती दुइ अपराधीहरूलाई पनि टाँगे। तिनीहरूले एकजनालाई येशूको दाहिनेपट्टि र अर्कोलाई देब्रेपट्टि राखे।

³³And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

³⁴येशूले भन्नुभयो, “हे पिता, तिनीहरूलाई माफ दिनुहोस् किनभने तिनीहरू के गरिरेहछन्, जान्दैन्।” सिपाहीहरूले चिट्टा उढाएर उनको लुगाहरू बाँडे।

³⁴And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

³⁵मानिसहरू येशूलाई हेरेर उभिए। यहूदी प्रमुखहरू येशूलाई यसो भन्दै निन्दा गरे, “यदि ऊ नै परमेश्वरले छान्नु भएको, ख्रीष्ट हो भने, जसरी उसले अरूलाई बचायो उसले आफैलाई बचाउने काम गरोस्?

³⁵And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

³⁶सिपाहीहरूले पनि येशूको खिल्ली उडाए। तिनीहरू येशूको नजीक गए अनि उहाँलाई दाखरसको सिर्का-दिए।

³⁶And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

³⁷ती सिपाहीहरूले भने, “यदि तिमी यहूदीहरूको राजा हौ भने आफैंले आफैंलाई बचाउ।”

³⁷and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁸क्रूसको माथिल्लो भागमा यी शब्दहरू लेखिएको थिए “यो यहूदीहरूको राजा हो।”

³⁸And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

³⁹एकजना अपराधीले येशूलाई अपमान गर्दै भन्यो, “के तपाईं ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्न? त्यसो हो भने आफूलाई बँचाउनु होस् अनि हामीलाई पनि बचाउनुहोस्।”

³⁹Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

⁴⁰तर अर्को अपराधीले गाली गर्यो अनि भन्यो, “के तिमी परमेश्वससँग डराउँछौ?हामी चाँडै मर्नेछौं।

⁴⁰But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

⁴¹तिमी र म अपराधी हौ हामीले गर्नै पर्छ किनभने हामीले अपराध गरेका छौं। तर यस मानिसले केही भूल गरेको छैन!”

⁴¹and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.

⁴²त्यसपछि उसले येशूलाई भन्यो, “हे येशू! जब तपाईं राजा भएर शासन गर्नुहुन्छ त्यसबेला मलाई सम्झनु होस्।”

⁴²And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁴³तब येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “सुन! जे भन्दछु त्यो साँचो होः आज नै तिमी पनि मसँग स्वर्ग-लोकमा हुनेछौ!”

⁴³And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

⁴⁴अत प्राथः मध्यदिन समय भएको थियो, र सारा देश-भरि नै तीन बजे सम्म अन्धकार छायो।

⁴⁴And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.

⁴⁵सूर्यको उज्यालो थिएन! मन्दिरको पर्दा दुइटुक्रा भएर वारपार च्यातियो।

⁴⁵And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.

⁴⁶येशू चिच्याउनुभयो, “हे पिता, म तपाईंलाई मेरो आत्मा दिंदैछु।” यति भनेर उहाँले आफ्नो प्राण त्यागनुभयो।

⁴⁶And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.

⁴⁷सैनिक अधिकारीले के भएको थियो देखे। तिनले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्दै भने, “निश्चय यी मानिस धार्मिक मानिस हुन्।”

⁴⁷Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.

⁴⁸धेरै मानिसहरू यो दृश्य हेर्न त्यहाँ भेला भएका थिए। जब तिनीहरूले के भयो, देखे तिनीहरूले आफ्नो हृदय गहौं गराए अनि गए।

⁴⁸And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [their] breasts.

⁴⁹येशूका घनिष्ट सबै साथीहरू त्यहीं थिए। गालीलदेखि येशूलाई पछ्याएर आउने केही स्त्रीहरू पनि त्यहाँ थिए। तिनीहरू क्रूसदेखि धेरै टाडा थिए अनि हेरिरहेका थिए।

⁴⁹And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁵⁰[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁵⁰And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just

⁵¹[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁵¹(this [man] had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, [himself also,] for the kingdom of God

⁵²तिनी पिलातसकहाँ येशूको शरीर माग्न गए। पिलातसले तिनलाई येशूको शरीर दिन राजी भए।

⁵²-- he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;

⁵³अनि यूसुफले क्रूसबाट शरीष्ठ्वरलाई तल ओह्रालेर एउटा लुगाले बेह्रे। अनि तिनले येशूको शरीर लगे अनि चट्टानमा खनिएको चिहानमा राखे। यो चिहान अघि कहिल्यै चलाईएको थिएन।

⁵³and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴त्यो तयारीको दिन थियो। जब सूर्य अस्ताउँदै थियो, विश्रामको दिन शुरू हुनेवाला थियो।

⁵⁴And it was preparation day, and [the] sabbath twilight was coming on.

⁵⁵गालीलबाट येशूसंगै आएका स्त्रीहरूले यूसुफलाई पछयाउन लागे। तिनीहरूले चिहान अनि त्यस भित्र शरीर कसरी राखिएको थियो देखे।

⁵⁵And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.

⁵⁶त्यसपछि तिनीहरू सुगन्धित मसाला तयार पार्न घर गए। विश्रामको दिन मोशाको नियमको आज्ञा अनुसार तिनीहरूले विश्राम गरे।

⁵⁶And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
