¹So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

¹Huan, huchihlaiin Pilatin Jesu a pi a, a jep a.

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

²Huan, sepaihten ling lukhu a phan ua, a khusak ua, puan san dup leng a silh sak uh;

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

³huan, a kiangah a hongpai ua, Chibai; Judate Kumpipa: a chi ua, a beng uh.

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.”

⁴Huan, Pilat a pawt nawna, a kiang uah, En un, bangmah a gitlouhna ka mu kei chih na theihna ding un, na kiang uah ka honpi khia ahi, a chi a.

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

⁵Huan, Jesu linglukhu khuin leh puan sandup silh in a hong pawta. Huan, Pilatin a kiang uah, En un, Mihing! a chi a.

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.”

⁶Huan, siampu liante leh heututen amah a muh tak un a kikou ua, Kros ah kilhlum in, kros ah kilhlum in, a chi ua. Pilatin a kiang uah, Noumau paipih unla, kros ah kilhlum un; ken jaw bangmah a gitlouhna ka mu ngal kei a, a chi a.

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

⁷Judaten a kiangah, Ka dan uh khat a om, huai dan bang jelin Pathian Tapaa a kibawl jiakin a si ding ahi, a chi ua, a dawng ua.

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

⁸Huan, Pilatin huai thu a jakin a lau nawn semsema;

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

⁹A in ah a lut nawna, Jesu kiangah, Koia kipan na hia? a chi a.

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?”

¹⁰Himahleh, Jesun a dawng kei. Huan, Pilatin a kiangah, Nang kei honhoupih lou ding maw? Honkhah thei ka hi, krosa honkilhlum thei ka hi chih na thei ka hia? a chi a.

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.”

¹¹Jesun, Tunglam akipan piak hi kei lechin, ka tungah hih theih himhim na neikei ding; huaijiakin na kianga honpekhepan khelhna lianjaw a pua ahi, a chi a.

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!”

¹²Huai nungsiah Pilatin khah a tuma; himahleh Judate a kikou ua, Hiai mi na khah leh Kaisar lawm na hi kei ding; kuapeuh kumpipaa kibawl tuh Kaisar dou ahi, a chi ua.

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.”

¹³Huan, Pilatin huai thu a jak takin, Jesu a pi khia a, a min Suanglep, Hebru paua Gabbatha a chih uh, huai munah thukhenna tutphah ah a tu a.

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!”

¹⁴Huan, huai ni tuh Paikan Ankuangluina kiginni ahi a, dak gukna khawng ahi. Huan, aman Judate kiangah, En un, na Kumpipa uh, a chi a.

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!”

¹⁵Huan, amau a kikou ua, Hihmangthang in, hihmangthang in, kros ah kilhlum in, a chi ua. Pilatin a kiang uah, Na Kumpipa uh kros ah ka kilhlum ding maw? a chi a. Siampu lianten, Kaisar loungal kumpipa dang ka neikei uh, a chi ua, a dawng uh.

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

¹⁶Huchiin Pilatin krosa kilhlup dingin amah a kiang uah a peta hi.

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

¹⁷Huchiin Jesu a pita ua; huan, aman kros kipuakin Luguh Mun, a chih uh, Hebru paua Golgotha a chih uah, huai mun tan a paia;

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

¹⁸huaiah kros ah a kilhlum ua, mi dang nih toh, a sik ah khat tuaktuakin, a lai ah Jesu.

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

¹⁹Huan, Pilatin lai a gelha, kros ah a suanga, NAZARET JESU JUDATE KUMPIPA, chia, gelh ahi.

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.

²⁰Huan, huai lai tuh Judate a khen tampiin a sim ua; Jesu kros a kilhlupna mun uh khopi kiang ahi a; Hebru pau bang. Rome pau bang, Grik pau banga gelh ahi ngala.

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.’”

²¹Huchiin, Judate siampu lianten Pilat kiangah, Judate Kumpipa, chiin, gelh ken; Judate Kumpipa ka hi, a chi, chiin, gelh jawin, a chi ua.

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

²²Pilatin, Ka gelh khit tuh ka gelhkhit ahita, achia, a dawnga.

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.

²³Huan, sepaihten Jesu krosa a kilhlup khit un a puansilh a la ua, phel liin a bawl ua, sepaihten phel khatin a tang chiat ua; a puannak leng a la uh. Puannak khui louh puannak ahi a a ngawng a kipan a puma gat vek ahi;

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.

²⁴huaijiakin amau, I bot kek kei dia, kuaa pending a hihiam ai i san zo ding uh, a kichi ua. Laisiangthoua, Ka puansilhte a kihawm ua, ka puannak din ai a san uh, chih a tunn dingin. Huai thil tuh sepaihten a hih uhi.

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

²⁵Huan, Jesu kros kiangah a nu leh a nu sanggam, Mari Kleopa ji leh Mari Magdalini a ding ua.

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

²⁶Huan, Jesun a nu leh nungjui a itpa a kianga ding a mua, a nu kiangah, Numei, en in, na tapa; a chi a.

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

²⁷Huan, nungjuipa kiangah, En in, na nu; a chi a. Huan, huai nungsiah, huai nungjuiin amah in ah amah a pita hi.

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.”

²⁸Huai nungin, Jesu thil bangkim tunah hih zoh a hita chih a thei a, (laisiangthou a tuna dingin) Ka dang a tak, a chi a.

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.

²⁹Huaiah bel khat uain thuka dim a tung ua, huchiin spanji khat uain thuka diah dimin, husop chiangah a tak ua, a muk ah a tun tou ua.

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

³⁰Huan, Jesun uain thuk a na dawn khitin, Zoh a hita, a chi a. Huan, a lu a kuna, a kha a khahta hi.

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.

³¹Huan, kiginni a hih jiakin, luangte khawlnia krosa a om nilouh louhna dingin, (huai Khawlni ni thupi ahi ngala), Judaten Pilat kiangah a khete uh hihtana a luang uh paipih dingin a ngen ua.

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

³²Huan, sepaih a hongpai ua, a kianga krosa a kilhlup uh mi tuah masak leh mi khat a khe uh a hihtan ua;

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

³³himahleh, Jesu kiang a hongtun un, a na sita chih a thei ua, a khete a hihtan tuanta kei uh.

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

³⁴Himahleh, sepaihte laka mi khatin a nakah teiin a suna, huchiin sisan leh tui a pawt pah hi.

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

³⁵A mupan a theisakta, a thu theihsak a dik ahi; a gen dik chih a kithei-nou leng na gin takna ding un.

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

³⁶Laisiangthou, A guh khat leng hihtan ahi kei ding, chih, tuna dingin huai thil a hongomta hi.

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

³⁷Huan, laisiangthou dangin, Amah a sutpa uh a en ding uh, leng a chi hi.

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.

³⁸Huan, huai thil hih khitin, Joseph, Arimathai mi, Jesu nungjui, Judate kihtak jiak a sim om in Jesu luang paipih dingin Pilat kiangah a ngena; huan, Pilatin a phala, Huchiin, a hongpaia, a luang a paipihta.

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.

³⁹Huan, Nikodem, atunga jana a kianga hongin, murra leh aloe kihelsa buk sawmnga khawng tawiin a hong sama.

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

⁴⁰Huan, Jesu luang a la ua, Judate kivui dan bangin gimlimte toh puan malngat hoihin a tuam uh.

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.

⁴¹Huan, krosa a kilh lupna mun uah huan khat a oma; huan ah kuamah sialna ngei nailouh han thak khat a om hi.Huan, Judate kiginni a hih jiakin, han a kiang chin uh a hih toh, huaiah Jesu a sialta uh.

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

⁴²Huan, Judate kiginni a hih jiakin, han a kiang chin uh a hih toh, huaiah Jesu a sialta uh.
