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

¹¶ A, ka takiri te ata, ka runanga nga tohunga nui katoa me nga kaumatua o te iwi mo Ihu kia whakamatea:

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

²A, no ka oti ia te here, ka arahina atu, tukua ana ki a Pirato, ki te kawana.

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

³A, no te kitenga o Hura, o te kaituku i a ia, kua whakaaetia ia kia whakamatea, ka puta ke tona whakaaro, whakahokia ana e ia nga hiriwa e toru tekau ki nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga kaumatua,

⁴saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

⁴Ka mea, Kua hara ahau i taku tukunga i te toto harakore. Ka mea ratou, Hei aha ma matou? mau tena e titiro.

⁵He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.

⁵Na maka iho e ia nga hiriwa ki te whare tapu, a puta ana ki waho, haere ana, tarona ana i a ia.

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

⁶Na ka tango nga tohunga nui i nga hiriwa, ka mea, E kore e tika kia panga enei ki te takotoranga moni, he utu toto hoki.

⁷They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.

⁷No ka runanga ratou, a hokona ana ki aua mea te mara a te kaihanga rihi, hei tanumanga mo nga manene.

⁸Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁸Na reira hoki i huaina ai taua mara, Ko te Mara o te Toto, a mohoa noa nei,

⁹Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah some manuscripts omit “Jeremiah” the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

⁹Katahi ka rite ta Heremaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai, Tangohia ana e ratou nga hiriwa e toru tekau, te utu mo te tangata i whakaritea nei ona utu, i whakaritea nei nga utu e etahi o nga tama a Iharaira;

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 32:6-9

¹⁰A hoatu ana mo te mara a te kaihanga rihi; i pera ano me ta te `Ariki i whakarite ai ki ahau.

¹¹Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

¹¹¶ Na i te tu tera a Ihu i te aroaro o te kawana; ka ui te kawana ki a ia, ka mea, Ko koe ranei te Kingi o nga Hurai? Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kua korerotia mai na e koe.

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

¹²A, i te whakapanga a nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga kaumatua i tetahi he ki a ia, kihai ia i whakahoki kupu atu.

¹³Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹³Katahi ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, Kahore koe e rongo i te tini o nga mea e korerotia nei e ratou mou?

¹⁴He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁴Heoi kahore kia kotahi kupu i whakahokia e ia ki a ia; tino miharo noa te kawana.

¹⁵Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

¹⁵Na ko ta te kawana tikanga i taua hakari he tuku i tetahi herehere ki te iwi, i ta ratou e pai ai.

¹⁶They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁶I reira ano i a ratou tetahi herehere ingoa nui, ko Parapa te ingoa.

¹⁷When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”

¹⁷A, no ra ka mine ratou, ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, Ko wai ta koutou e pai ai kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou? ko Parapa, ko Ihu ranei e huaina nei ko te Karaiti?

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

¹⁸I mahara hoki ia he hae no ratou i tukua ai ia.

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

¹⁹Na, i a ia e noho ana i runga i te nohoanga whakawa, ka tono tangata mai tana wahine ki a ia. ka mea, Kei ahatia e koe taua tangata tika: he maha hoki nga mea i pa moemoea mai ki ahau inaianei, he mea mona.

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

²⁰Otiia i whakakikitia e nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga kaumatua te mano, kia inoia a Parapa, kia whakangaromia a Ihu.

²¹But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²¹Na ka whakahoki te kawana, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko tehea o te tokorua ta koutou e pai ai kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou? Ka mea ratou, Ko Parapa.

²²Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²²Ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, Me aha oti e ahau a Ihu, e huaina nei ko to Karaiti? Ka mea ratou katoa ki a ia, Ripekatia.

²³But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²³Na ka mea te kawana, He aha koia tana kino i mea ai? Heoi nui noa atu ta ratou hamama, ka mea, Ripekatia ia.

²⁴So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁴A, i te kitenga o Pirato kahore ia i whai wahi, engari ka nui ke atu te ngangau, ka mau ia ki te wai, ka horoi i ona ringa i te aroaro o te mano, ka mea. Kahore ahau e whai hara i te toto o tenei tangata tika: ma koutou tena e titiro.

²⁵All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁵Na ka whakahoki te iwi katoa, ka mea, Hei runga ona toto i a matou, i a matou tamariki.

²⁶Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁶¶ Na ka tukua e ia a parapa ki a ratou: a, ka oti a Ihu te whiu, ka tukua kia ripekatia.

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁷Katahi ka mauria a Ihu e nga hoia a te kawana ki te whare whakawa, a whakaminea ana ki a ia te ropu katoa.

²⁸They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁸Na ka tangohia e ratou ona kakahu, a whakakakahuria ana ia ki te kakahu whero.

²⁹They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

²⁹A, no ka oti tetahi karauna tataramoa te whiri, ka potaea ki tona matenga, me te kakaho ki tona ringa matau: a ka tukua nga turi ki a ia, ka taunu ki a ia, ka mea, Tena koe, e te Kingi o nga Hurai!

³⁰They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³⁰A ka tuwhaina ia e ratou, a ka mau ratou ki te kakaho, ka patua ki tona matenga.

³¹When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³¹Na, ka mutu ta ratou tawai ki a ia, ka tihorea atu i runga i a ia te kakahu ra, whakakahuria ana ona ki a ia, a arahina ana ia kia ripekatia.

³²As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³²A, i a ratou e haere ana ki waho, ka kitea e ratou he tangata no Hairini, ko Haimona te ingoa: meinga ana ia e ratou kia haere tahi me ratou hei amo i tona ripeka.

³³They came to a place called “Golgotha,” that is to say, “The place of a skull.”

³³¶ A, i to ratou taenga ki te wahi e kiia nei ko Korokota, ara, ko te wahi angaanga,

³⁴They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁴Ka hoatu e ratou he waina ki a ia kia inumia, he mea whakananu ki te au: a, no tana whakamatauranga atu, kihai i pai ki te inu.

³⁵When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, TR adds “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: ‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;’” [see Psalm 22:18 and John 19:24]

³⁵A, ka oti ia te ripeka, ka wehewehea ona kakahu, he mea maka ki te rota: i rite ai te kupu i korerotia e te poropiti, I wehewehea oku weruweru mo ratou, i maka rota hoki mo toku kakahu.

³⁶and they sat and watched him there.

³⁶Na noho ana ratou ki te tiaki i a ia i reira.

³⁷They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁷A whakanohoia ana e ratou ki runga ake i tona matenga te mea i whakawakia ai ia, he mea tuhituhi, ko Ihu tenei ko te kingi o nga Hurai.

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

³⁸Na tokorua nga tahae i ripekatia ngatahitia me ia, kotahi ki matau, kotahi ki maui.

³⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

³⁹A ka kohukohu ki a ia te hunga e haere ana ra reira, me te oioi o ratou matenga,

⁴⁰and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴⁰Ka mea, Ko koe hei whakahoro i te whare tapu, hei hanga ano i nga ra e toru, whakaorangia koe e koe ano. Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, heke iho i te ripeka.

⁴¹Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, TR omits “the Pharisees” and the elders, said,

⁴¹I pena ano te tawai a nga tohunga nui, ratou ko nga karaipi, ko nga kaumatua, i mea,

⁴²“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴²Ko era atu i whakaorangia e ia; te taea e ia te whakaora i a ia ano. Ko ia te Kingi o Iharaira, tena kia heke iho oti ia i te ripeka, ka whakapono matou ki a ia.

⁴³He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴³I whakawhirinaki ia ki te Atua: ma tera ia e whakaora aianei, ki te pai ia ki a ia: nana hoki te ki, Ko te Tama ahau a te Atua.

⁴⁴The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁴Me nga tahae hoki i ripekatia tahitia ra me ia, i pera ano ta raua tawai ki a ia.

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour noon there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 3:00 P. M.

⁴⁵Na ka pouri a runga katoa o te whenua, no te ono o nga haora a taea noatia te iwa o nga haora.

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima TR reads “lama” instead of “lima” sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

⁴⁶A, ka tata ki te iwa o nga haora, ka karanga a Ihu, he nui te reo, ka mea, Eri, Eri, rama hapakatani? ara, E toku Atua, e toku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau?

⁴⁷Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁷I te rongonga o etahi o te hunga e tu ana i reira, ka mea, E karanga ana te tangata nei ki a Iraia.

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

⁴⁸Na kua rere tetahi o ratou, kua mau ki te hautai, whakakiia ana ki te winika, a whakanohoia ana ki runga ki te kakaho, whakainumia ana mana.

⁴⁹The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁴⁹Ka mea ehinu, Kati, kia kite tatou e haere mai ranei a Iraia ki te whakaora i a ia.

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

⁵⁰¶ Na ka karanga ano a Ihu, he nui te reo, a tuku atu ana i tona wairua.

⁵¹Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵¹Na ka wahia te arai o te whare tapu i waenganui pu, mai i runga a ki raro: ka ru te whenua, pakaru ana nga kamaka;

⁵²The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵²Ko nga urupa tuwhera kau; a he maha nga tinana o te hunga tapu kua moe i ara mai;

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

⁵³Ko te putanga ake i nga urupa i muri iho o tona aranga mai, haere ana ki roto ki te pa tapu, a he tokomaha te hunga i kite i a ratou.

⁵⁴Now the centurion, and those who 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.”

⁵⁴Na, i te kitenga o te keneturio ratou ko ona hoa tiaki i a Ihu i te ru, i nga mea ano i meatia, nui atu to ratou wehi, ka mea, He pono ko te Tama tenei a te Atua.

⁵⁵Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

⁵⁵A he tokomaha nga wahine i reira e matakitaki ana mai i tawhiti, nga mea i aru mai i a Ihu i Kariri, i mahi mea mana:

⁵⁶Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁶I roto i a ratou a Meri Makarini, a Meri whaea o Hemi raua ko Hohi, me te whaea hoki o nga tama a Heperi.

⁵⁷When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple came.

⁵⁷¶ Na, ka ahiahi, ka haere mai tetahi tangata taonga nui o Arimatia, ko Hohepa te ingoa, he akonga ano ia na Ihu:

⁵⁸This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁸I haere taua tangata ki a Pirato, a tonoa ana e ia te tinana o ihu. Na ka mea a Pirato kia hoatu te tinana.

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

⁵⁹Na ka tango a Hohepa i te tinana, a takaia ana e ia ki te rinena ma,

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

⁶⁰Whakatakotoria ana ki tana urupa hou, i haua e ia ki roto ki te kama: na whakataka atu ana e ia tetahi kohatu nui ki te kuwaha o te urupa, a haere ana.

⁶¹Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶¹I reira ano a Meri Makarini, me tera Meri, e noho ana i te ritenga atu o te tanumanga.

⁶²Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶²Na, i te aonga ake, i te ra i muri i te takanga hakari, ka haere nga tohunga nui me nga Parihi ki a Pirato,

⁶³saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁶³Ka mea, E mara, kei te mahara matou ki te korero a tera tangata tinihanga i a ia ano e ora ana, Kia taka nga ra e toru ka ara ahau.

⁶⁴Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

⁶⁴Na reira whakahaua atu kia tiakina te tanumanga, a tae noa ki te toru o nga ra, kei haere ana akonga i te po, ka tahae i a ia, ka mea ki te iwi, Kua ara ia i te hunga mate: penei kino atu i to mua to muri he.

⁶⁵Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

⁶⁵Ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, He kaitiaki ano a koutou: haere, kia puta o koutou whakaaro kei taea atu ia.

⁶⁶So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.

⁶⁶Na haere ana ratou, hiritia ana te kohatu, me te whakanoho ano i nga kaitiaki, kei taea atu te tanumanga.
