¹So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

¹Laj Pilato quixtakla li Jesús chi saq'uec' riq'uin tz'ûm.

²The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

²Eb li soldado que'xyîb jun li corona riq'uin q'uix ut que'xq'ue sa' xjolom li Jesús. Ut que'xq'ue jun li caki t'icr chirix xcomon li neque'rocsi li rey.

³They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.

³Ut que'xye re: -¡Sahak taxak sa' âch'ôl, at xreyeb laj judío! chanqueb re. Ut que'xsac' riq'uin ruk'eb.

⁴Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

⁴Laj Pilato cô cui'chic riq'uineb laj judío ut quixye reheb: -Xinc'am chak arin chirix cab re nak tênau nak mâ jun xmâc xintau, chan.

⁵Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”

⁵Ut li Jesús qui-el chirix cab. Cuan sa' xjolom li corona li yîbanbil riq'uin q'uix ut cuan li caki t'icr chirix. Laj Pilato quixye reheb: -Cue' li cuînk. Ilomak, chan.

⁶When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”

⁶Eb li neque'c'ac'alen sa' li templo ut eb li xbênil aj tij que'ril li Jesús ut que'xjap reheb ut que'xye: -¡Q'ue chiru cruz! ¡Q'ue chiru cruz! chanqueb. Ut laj Pilato quixye reheb: -C'amomak lâex ut q'uehomak chiru cruz cui têraj. Lâin mâ jun lix mâc xintau, chan.

⁷The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

⁷Abanan eb laj judío que'xye: -Lâo cuan kachak'rab ut li kachak'rab naxye nak tâcamsîk xban nak a'an quixq'ue rib chok' Ralal li Dios.-

⁸When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

⁸Nak quirabi li que'xye, k'axal cui'chic quixucuac laj Pilato.

⁹He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

⁹Qui-oc cui'chic sa' cab rochben li Jesús ut quixye re: -Ye cue bar xatchal chak.- Abanan li Jesús mâ jun li âtin quixye.

¹⁰Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?”

¹⁰Laj Pilato quixye re: -¿C'a'ut nak inc'a' nacatchak'oc? ¿Ma inc'a' nacanau nak cuan incuanquil châq'uebal chiru cruz ut cuan incuanquil châcuach'abanquil? chan re li Jesús.

¹¹Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

¹¹Li Jesús quixye re: -Mâc'a' raj âcuanquil sa' inbên cui ta inc'a' q'uebil âcue xban li Dios. Ut li jun li xk'axtesin cue sa' âcuuk' re nak tatrakok âtin sa' inbên, a'an k'axal cui'chic nim xmâc châcuu lâat, chan.

¹²At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

¹²Ut chalen a'an laj Pilato yô chixsic'bal chanru nak târach'ab li Jesús. Abanan eb laj judío que'xjap reheb ut que'xye: -Cui nacacuach'ab li cuînk a'an, lâat mâcua'akat chic ramîg li Acuabej César. Li ani naraj xq'uebal rib chok' rey, li jun a'an xic' chic naril li Acuabej, chanqueb.

¹³When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement,” but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”

¹³Nak laj Pilato quirabi li que'xye, quixc'am li Jesús chirix cab. Quic'ojla sa' li na'ajej li narakoc cui' âtin. Li c'ojlebâl a'an cuan sa' xbên li tusbil pec. C'ajo' xch'ina'usal. Gabata xc'aba' li na'ajej a'an sa' li âtinobâl hebreo.

¹⁴Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. “the sixth hour” would have been 6:00 AM according to the Roman timekeeping system, or noon for the Jewish timekeeping system in use, then. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”

¹⁴Cua'leb na re cutan nak quic'ulman a'in. Li tenamit yôqueb chixcauresinquil li nink'e Pascua, li tâticlâk sa' li cutan jun chic. Laj Pilato quixye reheb: -Cue' lê rey, chan.

¹⁵They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

¹⁵Que'xjap cui'chic reheb chixyebal: -¡Q'uehomak chiru cruz! ¡Q'uehomak chiru cruz! Ut laj Pilato quixye reheb: -¿Ma têraj nak tinq'ue chiru cruz lê rey? chan. Eb li xbênil aj tij que'xye: -Jun ajcui' li karey cuan. A'an li Acuabej César, chanqueb.

¹⁶So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

¹⁶Laj Pilato quixk'axtesi li Jesús sa' ruk'eb li soldado re nak tâq'uehek' chiru cruz. Ut que'xc'am li Jesús.

¹⁷He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull,” which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha,”

¹⁷Li Jesús yô chixpakonquil lix cruz nak cô sa' li na'ajej Xbakel Xjolom Camenak xc'aba'. Sa' li âtinobâl hebreo Gólgota xc'aba'.

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸Ut aran que'xq'ue chiru cruz. Ut que'xq'ue cuib chic li cuînk chiru cruz rochben. Jun que'xq'ue sa' xnim uk' ut li jun chic que'xq'ue sa' xtz'e. Li cruz li que'xq'ue cui' li Jesús quicana sa' xyi.

¹⁹Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

¹⁹Laj Pilato quixtz'îba jun li retalil ut que'xq'ue sa' xjolom li cruz li quiq'uehe' cui' li Jesús. Li retalil a'an quixye: Li Jesús aj Nazaret, a'an lix reyeb laj judío.

²⁰Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

²⁰Nabaleb laj judío que'ril li retalil li quitz'îbâc, xban nak li na'ajej li quiq'uehe' cui' chiru cruz li Jesús nach' cuan riq'uin li tenamit. Li retalil tz'îbanbil sa' eb li âtinobâl hebreo, griego ut latín.

²¹The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, I am King of the Jews.’”

²¹Inc'a' quicuulac chiruheb lix xbênil aj tij li quixtz'îba. Que'xye re laj Pilato: -Mâtz'îba nak a'an xreyeb laj judío. Tz'îba ban nak a'an xyehoc re, "Lâin xreyeb laj judío", chanqueb.

²²Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

²²Ut laj Pilato quixye reheb: -Li c'a'ru xintz'îba, xintz'îba. Inc'a' chic tâjalmânk, chan.

²³Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²³Nak ac xe'xq'ue chiru cruz li Jesús, eb li soldado que'xc'am li rak' chok' reheb. Câhib êchal que'risi, jun re li junjûnk chi soldado. Ut que'xc'am ajcui' li rak' li mâc'a' xbojbal. Junaj ru lix quembal.

²⁴Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots.” Psalm 22:18 Therefore the soldiers did these things.

²⁴Que'xye chi ribileb rib: -Inc'a' takapeji. Us takabûli rix re rilbal ani tâêchanînk re, chanqueb. Jo'can que'xbânu re nak tâtz'aklok ru li tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu li naxye chi jo'ca'in: Que'xjeq'ui chirixeb lin t'icr ut que'xbûli rix li cuak'. (Sal. 22:18)

²⁵But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁵Nach' riq'uin li cruz xakxo li xna' li Jesús rochben lix María li ras. A'an li rixakil laj Cleofas. Ut cuan ajcui' aran lix María, Magdala xtenamit.

²⁶Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son!”

²⁶Li Jesús quiril lix na' ut quiril ajcui' lix tzolom li raro xban. Li Jesús quixye re lix na': -At inna', li cuînk a'in, a'an chic lâ yum.-

²⁷Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁷Ut quixye re lix tzolom: -Li ixk a'in, a'an chic lâ na'.- Ut chalen a'an lix tzolom quixc'ul lix na' li Jesús riq'uin sa' li rochoch.

²⁸After this, Jesus, seeing NU, TR read “knowing” instead of “seeing” that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”

²⁸Chirix chic a'an quixnau li Jesús nak ac xtz'akloc ru chixjunil. Re nak tâtz'aklok ru li tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu, li Jesús quixye: -Tâchakik cue, chan.

²⁹Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

²⁹Cuan aran jun sec' nujenak chi vinagre. Que'xtz'a sa' li vinagre jun li esponja ut que'xtaksi sa' ru'uj jun li ruk' che' hisopo xc'aba' ut que'xq'ue sa' re.

³⁰When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

³⁰Li Jesús quiruc' li vinagre ut quixye: -Anakcuan xtz'akloc ru chixjunil.- Quixxulub lix jolom ut quicam.

³¹Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³¹Eb li neque'taklan sa' xyânkeb laj judío que'xtz'âma chiru laj Pilato re nak tixtakla xtokbal xbakel li ra'eb li que'q'uehe' chiru cruz re nak te'câmk chi junpât. Que'raj nak te'isîk chiru cruz xban nak cuulac re li hilobâl cutan. Yôqueb chixcauresinquil ribeb re li nink'e Pascua xban nak a'an li k'axal lok' chiruheb.

³²Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;

³²Que'chal eb li soldado ut que'xtok xbakel li ra'eb li cuib chi cuînk li que'q'uehe' chiru cruz rochben li Jesús.

³³but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

³³Abanan nak que'cuulac cuan cui' li Jesús, que'ril nak ac xcam ut inc'a' que'xtok xbakel li ra'.

³⁴However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁴Jun li soldado quixhop xc'atk xsa' riq'uin lix ch'îch' ut sa' junpât qui-el li quic' ut qui-el ajcui' li ha'.

³⁵He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

³⁵Lâin quin-iloc re chi tz'akal li c'a'ru quic'ulman ut li c'a'ru yôquin xyebal êre tz'akal yâl. Yôquin chixyebal êre a'in re nak têpâb nak tz'akal yâl nak quic'ulman chi jo'can.

³⁶For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.” Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20

³⁶Quic'ulman chi jo'can re nak tâtz'aklok ru li tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Mâ jun lix bakel tâtokmânk. (Ex. 12:46)

³⁷Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.” Zechariah 12:10

³⁷Ut tz'îbanbil ajcui' sa' li Santil Hu: Eb a'an te'ril li ani quihope' chi ch'îch'. (Zac. 12:10)

³⁸After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

³⁸Jun li cuînk aj José xc'aba' Arimatea xtenamit quicuulac riq'uin laj Pilato chixtz'âmanquil chiru nak tixq'ue lix tz'ejcual li Jesús re, re tixmuk. Laj José, a'an jun reheb li neque'pâban re li Jesús. Abanan inc'a' quixye xban nak quixucuac xbaneb li neque'taklan sa' xbêneb laj judío. Laj Pilato quixye re nak târûk tixmuk, ut laj José cô chixc'ambal li camenak.

³⁹Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. 100 Roman pounds of 12 ounces each, or about 72 pounds, or 33 Kilograms.

³⁹Laj Nicodemo li quicuulac riq'uin li Jesús chi k'ek, cô rochben laj José. Quixc'am na o'c'âlak libra li sununquil ban yîbanbil riq'uin mirra ut áloes.

⁴⁰So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

⁴⁰Li cuib chi cuînk que'xc'am lix tz'ejcual li Jesús ut que'xlan riq'uin li châbil t'icr lino ut que'xq'ue li sununquil ban jo' c'aynakeb chi mukuc eb laj judío.

⁴¹Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

⁴¹Sa' li na'ajej li quiq'uehe' cui' li Jesús chiru cruz cuan jun sîr li acuîmk. Aran cuan jun li muklebâl toj ac'. Toj mâ ani mukbil aran.Aran que'xmuk li Jesús xban nak nach' cuan li na'ajej a'an ut que'raj ru xmukbal chi junpât xban nak cuulac re li hilobâl cutan.

⁴²Then because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.

⁴²Aran que'xmuk li Jesús xban nak nach' cuan li na'ajej a'an ut que'raj ru xmukbal chi junpât xban nak cuulac re li hilobâl cutan.
