¹The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.

¹Huan, mipi khempeuh a ding ua, Jesu Pilat kiangah a pita ua.

²They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

²Huan, Hiai miin ka chite uh a pimanga, Kaisar kiangah siah liau a kham, Kris, Kumpipa, a kichih, ka ja uh, chiin, a hekta ua.

³Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

³Huan, Pilatin, a kiangah, Judate kumpipa na hi hia? chiin, a donga. Hi e, chiin, a dawng a.

⁴Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁴Huan, Pilatin siampu liante leh mipite kiangah, Hiai mi tungah bangmah khelhna ka mu kei, a chi a.

⁵But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁵Himahleh, amau, Galili gamah a pana, hiai mun phain, Judia gam kho tengah thuhilhin, mi tengteng a toknok gige ahi, chiin, a pang semsem ua.

⁶But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁶Huan, Pilatin huai a jakin, huai mi tuh Galili gama mi a hih leh hih louh a donga.

⁷When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

⁷Huchiin, Herod uka mi ahi chih a theih takin Herod kiangah a sawlta a; huai laiin amah leng Jerusalem khua ah a om a.

⁸Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁸Herodin Jesu a muhin a kipak mahmah a; a tanchin a jak jiakin, tumasiah a pat muh a ut him ahi a, a thillamdang hih banghiam bek muh leng a lamen ahi.

⁹He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

⁹Huan thu tampi a donga; himahleh bangmahin a dawng tuan kei hi.

¹⁰The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹⁰Huan, siampu liante leh laigelhmiten dingin nakpi takin a hek ua.

¹¹Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

¹¹Huan, Herod leh a sepaihten Jesu a simmoh ua, nuihza bawlnan a zang uh, huan, puan thupi tak silh sakin Pilat kiangah a sawl nawnta hi.

¹²Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

¹²Huan, huai ni takin Herod leh Pilat a kihouthei ta uh; huai masiah jaw kihouthei lou hi ua.

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

¹³Huan, Pilatin siampu liante, heutute, mi tengteng a sam khawm a, a kiang uah,

¹⁴and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁴Mite a pimang, chiin, hiai mi ka kiangah na honpi uh ahi a; huan, ngai un, na ma ua ka etchet nungin na hekna thu uah hiai mi tungah bangmah khelhna ka mu kei ahi;

¹⁵Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁵Herodin leng a mu sam kei; i kiang uah a honsawl nawnta ahi; ngai un, sihna khop hial bangmah a hih kei hi.

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

¹⁶Huchiin ka vo dinga, ka pawt sak mai ding, a chi a.

¹⁷Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁷(Ankuanglui nia mikhat amau laka a pawt sak teitei ding ahi ngala. )

¹⁸But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁸Himahleh, kituaktakin a kikou ua, Hiai mi hihmangthang inla, Barabba pen honpawt sak jawin, a chi ua.

¹⁹one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

¹⁹Huai mi tuh khopia helna bang ahi hiam jiak leh, tual a thah jiaka suangkulha tang ahi.

²⁰Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

²⁰Pilatin bel, Jesu khah a uta, a kiang uah thu a gen nawna.

²¹but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

²¹Himahleh, a kikou ua, Kros ah kilhden in, kros ah kilhden in, a chi ua.

²²He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

²²Huan, aman, a thum veina ah a kiang uah, Bang dingin maw? hiai min bang ahia ahihkhelh? sihna khop hial a tungah bangmah ka mu kei; huchiin ka vo dinga, ka khah mai ding, a chi a.

²³But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²³Amau bel aw ngaihtakin kros a kilhden dingin a ngen teitei uh. Huan, a aw un a vau daita hi.

²⁴Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁴Huan, Pilatin a nget bang ua hih dingin thu a hihpukta a.

²⁵He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

²⁵Helna leh tualthah jiaka suangkulha tang a nget uh a khaha; Jesu bel a ut ut ua lohdingin a peta hi.

²⁶When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus.

²⁶Huan, a pi mang lai un, Simon Kurini khua a mi, gam lam a kipana hong a man ua, Jesu nunglama po dingin a tungah kros tuh a nga ta uhi.

²⁷A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁷Huan, mi nazong leh numei amah kaha mau jeljul, mipi tampitakin a jui ua.

²⁸But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁸Jesu bel amau lam a nga a, Jerusalem tanute aw, honkah kei un, noumau leh na tate uh dingin kap jaw un.

²⁹ For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’

²⁹Ngai un, a ni a hongtung dinga, huai niin, numei chingte, naupai ngei louhna gilte, naunek ngei louh nawite a hampha uh, a honchi ding uh.

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’ Hosea 10:8

³⁰Huai hun chiangin, miten, tangte kiangah, Hondelh un, a chi ding uh, mualte kiangah, Honkhuh un, a chi ding uhi.

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”

³¹Sing a hinlaia bawn hichi banga a hih u leh; a keu chiangin bang a kilohta phet dia? a chi a.

³²There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

³²Huan, a kiangah mi dang nih, mi gilou, hihlup dingin a pi sam ua.

³³When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

³³Huan, Lu Guh, a chih mun uh a tun un, huaiah kros ah a kilhden ua, mi giloute toh, a taklam ah khat, a vei lam ah khat.

³⁴Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

³⁴Huan, Jesun, Pa, amau ngaidam in; a thil hih uh a theikei ua hi, a chi a. Huan a puansilhte kihawmin, ai a san uh.

³⁵The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

³⁵Huan, vantang honin dingin a en ua. Huchiin vaihawmmiten bel Midang bawn a hihdam jel aka; Pathian tel kris tuh a hih taktak leh amah leng kihihdam leh ake, chiin, a enghou ua.

³⁶The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

³⁶Huan, sepaihten leng amah nuihza bawlnan a nei ua, a kiangah a hong ua, zu thuk a pia ua,

³⁷and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

³⁷Judate kumpipa na hih taktak leh, kihihdam in, a chi ua.

³⁸An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸Huan, a tung lamah, HIAI MI JUDATE KUMPIPA A HI, chiin, lai a kisuang hi.

³⁹One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”

³⁹Huan, a mi gilou kilh khat un Jesu a taia, Kris na hi ka hia? kihihdam inla, kou leng honhihdam tanla, a chi a.

⁴⁰But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴⁰Himahleh, khatpan tuh dawn kawmin, a taihilh a, Pathian na ngawn leng na kihta ka hia? kibang sapa hongawt uh.

⁴¹And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

⁴¹Ei jaw gawttuak him i hi; i thil hih man lel mu i hi a; hiai miin bel bangmah a hihkhial ngal keia, a chi a.

⁴²He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

⁴²Huan, aman, Jesu, thuneihna toh Kumpipa-a na hongpai chiangin hontheigige in, a chi a.

⁴³Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

⁴³Huan, aman, a kiangah, Chihtaktakin ka honhilh ahi, Tuniin ka kiangah Paradis ah na om sam ding, achia.

⁴⁴It was now about the sixth hour Time was counted from sunrise, so the sixth hour was about noon. , and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 3:00 PM

⁴⁴Huan, dak gukna ding khawng ahi a, huai nungsiah dak kuana hun tanin gam pumpi a hongmial vekta a, ni vak a beita hi;

⁴⁵The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁵huan, Pathian biakin puanjak a lai ah a hong kekta hi.

⁴⁶Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

⁴⁶Huan, Jesu aw ngaihtakin a kikou a, Pa, na khutah ka kha ka honkem sak hi a chi a. Huan, huai a chih khitin a kha a khahta hi.

⁴⁷When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”

⁴⁷Huan, sepaih zaheupan thil omdan a muh in, Hiai mi pel louin mi dik ahi ngeingei, chiin, Pathian a phatta.

⁴⁸All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

⁴⁸Huan, huai etnop tuh en dinga mipi hongkikhawm tengteng ten thil omdante a muh un a awm uh tumtumin a kik nawnta uhi.

⁴⁹All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁴⁹Huan, amel theihte tengteng leh, numei Galili gama kipana honjuite, huai thilte enin gamla takah a ding uh.

⁵⁰Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

⁵⁰Huan, ngai un, mi khat amin Joseph, vaihawmmi, mi hoih tak, diktak, Judate khua khat Arimathai a kipan a oma,

⁵¹(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:

⁵¹A vaihawm uah leh a thil hih uah leng a kiawi kei him a. Pathian gam a lamen gige a.

⁵²this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

⁵²Huai mi tuh Pilat kiangah a hoha, Jesu luang a ngen a.

⁵³He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.

⁵³Huan a la khia a, puan mal ngatin a tuama, han, suang khuakkuak, kuamah sial ngei nai louhna ah, a siala.

⁵⁴It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

⁵⁴Huan, huai ni tuh kiginni ahi a, Khawlni a honghi sinsinta hi.

⁵⁵The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

⁵⁵Huan, numei, Galili gam akipana a kianga hongten a jui jel ua, han leh a luang sialdan a mu uh hi.Huan, a pai nawn ua, banghiam gim namtui khawng leh thau namtui khawng a bawl uhi.
