¹It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

¹Huan, ni nih nungin Paikan Ankuangluina leh Tanghou silngou sohlouh Ankuangluina om ding ahi a; siampu liante leh laigelhmiten, amah zekhema, mana, a hihlup theihna dingdan a zongzong ua;

³While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.

³Huan, Bethani khuaa phak Simon ina a om laia, ankuang a um laiin numei khat, alabaster bawma spiknardi thau gimlim man tampi tawiin a honga, a bawm tuh a hihkhama, a lu ah a sungta a.

⁴But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?

⁴Himahleh, khenkhat tuh a lunghita kei ua, Bang dinga thau gimlim hihmang mawkmawk ahia?

⁵For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, 300 denarii was about a years wages for an agricultural laborer. and given to the poor.” They grumbled against her.

⁵Hiai thau makhai za thum sanga tamjawa juaka, mi gentheite kianga piak theih ahi ngala, a chi ua. Huchiin, a tungah a phunta uh.

⁶But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

⁶Jesun tuh, Hih hen aw; bangdia va hihbuai na hi ua? ka tungah thil hoihtak a hih ahi.

⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

⁷Mi gentheite chiklaipeuhin leng na kiang ua om ahi ua, na ut hun peuh un na hehpih thei ngal ua; kei bel chiklaipeuha na kiang ua om gige ding ka hi kei.

⁸ She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

⁸A hihtheih khamkham a hih ahi; ka sapum vui dinga thau nuh khol ahi.

⁹ Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”

⁹Huchiin, chihtaktakin ka honhilh ahi, khovel tengteng koipeuhah leng Tanchin Hoih a kigenna ah hiai meithai thilhih leng amah theihgigena dingin a kigen jel ding hi, a chi hi.

¹⁰Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

¹⁰Huan, Juda Iskariot, sawm leh nihte laka khatin, Jesu a kiang ua juausana a matsak theihna dingin siampu liante kiangah a vahoha.

¹¹They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

¹¹Huan, amau a jak tak un a kipak mahmah ua, a kiangah dangka piak achiamta uh. Huchiin, juausana matsakna dingdan lemtang a zongta hi.

¹²On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”

¹²Huan, Tanghou Silngou-sohlouh ni, ni masapen, Paikan Ankuangluina belamnou a goh jelna ni uah, a nungjuiten a kiangah, Paikan Ankuanglui na nek theihna dingin koiah ahia vabawl le ung na ut? a chi ua.

¹³He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,

¹³Huchiin, a nungjuite laka mi nih a sawla, a kiang uah Khopi ah valut unla, huai ah pasal bela tui pua in hontuak dia; amah jui un.

¹⁴ and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

¹⁴Huan, a lutna peuhah, huai intekpa kiangah, Sinsakpan, Ka nungjuite toh Paikan Ankuang ka nek na ding uh, ka mikhual indan koilai ahia? a chi, na chi ding uh.

¹⁵ He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”

¹⁵Huchiin, amahmahin dantan tungnung za tak, van omsa, mansa dimdiam a honensak dia; huai ah eia dingin bawl un, a chi a.

¹⁶His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁶Huan, nungjuite a pawtta ua, khopi ah a valut ua, a kiang ua a gen bang takin a vamu ua; huan, Paikan Ankuangluina a bawlta uh.

¹⁷When it was evening he came with the twelve.

¹⁷Huan, nitaklam a honghihin, amah tuh sawm leh nihte toh a vahoh-ta ua.

¹⁸As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”

¹⁸Huan, a um ua, a nek lai un, Jesun, Chihtaktakin ka honhilh ahi, na lak ua mi khat, ka kianga ne sam ngeiin, honjuausanin honmansak ding, a chi a.

¹⁹They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”

¹⁹Huan, a lungkham panta ua, khatkhatin a kiangah, Keimah ka hi hia? a chi chiat ua.

²⁰He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

²⁰Huan, aman tuh a kiang uah, sawm leh nihte laka mi khat, ka kuanga tanghou hondiahpihpa ahi.

²¹ For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

²¹Mihing Tapa a tanchin a gelh bang tak un a pai ding: himahleh, Mihing Tapa mansak ding mipa tung a gik hi: Huai mihing jaw piang kei leh amah adin a hoihzo ding, a chi a.

²²As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”

²²Huan, a nek lai un Jesun tanghou a la a, a vualjawl zohin a balkhama, a kiang uah a pia a, La un; hiai ka sapum ahi, a chi a.

²³He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

²³Huan, nou a la a, kipah thu a gen zohin a kiang uah a pia a; huchiin, a vek un a dawn chiat ua.

²⁴He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

²⁴Huan, aman a kiang uah, Hiai ka sisan, mi tampi dia pawt ding, thukhunna ahi.

²⁵ Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God.”

²⁵Chihtaktakin ka honhilh ahi, Pathian Gama a thak ka dawn ni a tun masiah grep gui gaha ka dawn nawnta kei ding, a chi hi.

²⁶When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²⁶Huan, la a sakzoh un, a pawt ua, Oliv tangah a hohta uh.

²⁷Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ Zechariah 13:7

²⁷Huan, Jesun a kiang uah, Na vek un lungkiain nontaisan ding uh, Belamchingpa ka khen dia, belamte a dalh ding uh, chih gelh ahi ngala.

²⁸ However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

²⁸Himahleh, ka thohnawn nungin Galili gamah na ma uah ka pai ding, a chi a.

²⁹But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”

²⁹Peterin bel a kiangah, A vek un lungkiain hontaisan mahle uh, ken jaw kontaisan kei ding, a chi a.

³⁰Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

³⁰Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Chihtaktakin ka honhilh ahi, Tu jan ngeingeiin, ak nih vei a khuan main, nang thumvei non kitheihmohbawl ding, a chi a.

³¹But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.

³¹Aman bel khauhtakin, Na sihna ah si sam ding himahleng ka honkitheihmohbawl kei hial ding, a chi guapguap a. Huchimah bangin a chi chiat uh.

³²They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.”

³²Huan, Gethsemani a chih mun uh a tung ua; huan, aman tuh a nungjuite kiangah, Ka thum sung teng hiaiah na tu un, achia.

³³He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

³³Huan, Peter, Jakob leh Johan a pi a, nak pitaka lungkhamin a mangbang mahmah a.

³⁴He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

³⁴Huchiin a kiang uah, Ka kha a lungkham mahmaha, sihna khop hial ahi; hiaiah om unla, kiging gige un, a chi a.

³⁵He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

³⁵Huan, neukhain ma lamah a vapai zeka, leiah a khupboh a, hih theih hi leh, huai hunin amah pel dingin a thuma.

³⁶He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

³⁶Abba, Pa, bangkim na hihtheia; hiai nou kei akipanin la mang in; himahleh, kei thu hilou in nangmah thuthu hijaw hen, a chi a.

³⁷He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?

³⁷Huan, a hongpaia, amau tuh ihmuin a honmu a, huchiin, Peter kiangah, Simon, ihmu na hi maw? Dak kal khat leng kiging gigein na om theikei maw?

³⁸ Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

³⁸Khemnaa na lut louhna ding un kiging gigein thum un. Khain tuh a ngapa, sa jaw a hat kei, a chi a.

³⁹Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

³⁹Huan, a vahoh nawna, a thugen ngei genin a thum nawna.

⁴⁰Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn’t know what to answer him.

⁴⁰Huan, a hongpai nawna amau tuh ihmuin a honmu nawna, a ihmut uh a suak mahmah ngala; dawn dan leng a theikei uh.

⁴¹He came the third time, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴¹Huan, a hongpai thum veina ah, a kiang uah, Na ihmu lailai umaw, na tawlnga lailai umaw? A hunta ve; a hun hongtungta; mihing Tapa mikhialte khuta juausana piak ahita.

⁴² Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

⁴²Thou un, i pai ding uh; en un, hon juausanpa hongnai, a chi a.

⁴³Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

⁴³Huan, a gen laitakin, Juda, sawm leh nihte laka mi khat tuh, a hongtungpahta ngala, siampu liante leh laigelhmite leh upate akipan mipi, temsau leh khetbuk tawite toh.

⁴⁴Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”

⁴⁴Huan, juausanpan, Ka tawp peuhmah amah ahi ding; man unla, kizentakin na pi mang ding uh, chiin chiamtehna ding a na hilhkhol diamdiama.

⁴⁵When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.

⁴⁵Huchiin, a tun takin amah a vanaih paha, Rabbi: chiin, a tawp tantan a.

⁴⁶They laid their hands on him, and seized him.

⁴⁶Huan, amah a lenta ua, a manta uh.

⁴⁷But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁷Huan, a kianga dingte laka mi kua hiamin a temsaua doka, siampu lianpen sikha a sata, a bil a sat khiak sak.

⁴⁸Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

⁴⁸Huan, Jesun amau a houpiha, a kiang uah, Temsaute, khetbukte tawiin suamhat man ding bang hialin, honman dingin nong kuan u maw?

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

⁴⁹Pathian biakin ah ni tenga thuhilhin na kiang uah ka om jela; non man ngal kei ua. Himahleh, Laisiangthou a hongtun theihna ding ei ve, a chi a.

⁵⁰They all left him, and fled.

⁵⁰Huan, a vek un amah a nusia ua, a taimang vekta uh.

⁵¹A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

⁵¹Huan, tangval kuahiam, puan malngat kia batin, amah a juia; huan, amah a na man uh;

⁵²but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

⁵²Himahleh, a puan malngat a taisana, vuaktangin a taimangta.

⁵³They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

⁵³Huan, Jesu tuh siampu lianpen kiangah a pi ua; huan, siampu liante, laigelhmite tengteng toh a hongton uh.

⁵⁴Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

⁵⁴Huan, Peterin gamla pia kipanin amah a juia, siampu lianpen inhuangsung konglai phain; huan, sikhate lakah mei lum awiin a tu sam a.

⁵⁵Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

⁵⁵Huan, Jesu a hihlup theihna ding un siampu liante leh vaihawm mite tengtengin amah hekna a zong ua, a mu sam kei uh.

⁵⁶For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.

⁵⁶Mi tampiin juauin a hek ua, himahleh, a hekna thu uh a kituak sam kei.

⁵⁷Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

⁵⁷Huan, kuate hiam a ding ua, juauin a hek ua,

⁵⁸“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

⁵⁸Hiai min, Hiai Pathian biakin khuta lam ka hihse dia, ni thum sungin biakin dang, khuta lam louh, ka lam ding, a chih, ka ja uh, a chi ua.

⁵⁹Even so, their testimony did not agree.

⁵⁹Himahleh huchiin leng a hekna thu uh a kituak thei samsam kei.

⁶⁰The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”

⁶⁰Huan, siampu lianpen a laiah a ding khia a. Jesu kiangah, Bangmaha dawnglou maw? Hiaite honhekna bangchidan ahia? chiin, a donga.

⁶¹But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

⁶¹Amah lah a dai dide a, bangmahin a dawng kei a. Siampu lianpenin a kiangah, Kris, Hampha Tapa, na hi hia? chiin, a dong nawna.

⁶²Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

⁶²Huan, Jesun, Hi e; Mihing Tapa Thilhihtheihna taklama tu a, van mei laka hongpai na mu ding uh, a chi a.

⁶³The high priest tore his clothes, and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶³Huan, siampu lianpenin a puansilh a botkeka, Theihpih dang bang din i deih dia?

⁶⁴You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

⁶⁴Pathian a gensiatdan na zata uh; bangchi na sa ua? achia. Huan, a vek un amah tuh si takin a sep chiat ua;

⁶⁵Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

⁶⁵Huan, a khenin amah chil a siat pan pah ua, a kiangah, Gen in, a chi ua. Huan, vengtuten a let kawm un a beng ekek uh.

⁶⁶As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

⁶⁶Huan, Peter tuh nuai lama inhuang sung konglaia a om laiin siampu lianpen sikha nungakte laka khat a hong paia,

⁶⁷and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”

⁶⁷Peter meilum awi a mua, a en a, Nang leng Jesu Nazaret mi kianga om na hi ve, a chi a.

⁶⁸But he denied it, saying, “I neither know, nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

⁶⁸Aman tuh, Na thugen ka theikei, a ngaihna himhim leng ka theikei, chiin, a kitheihmohbawl a. Huan, inlim ah a vapawt khia a; huchiin, ak a khuangta hi.

⁶⁹The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.”

⁶⁹Huan, nungakin a mu a, a kianga dingte kiangah, Hiai mi a lak ua mi ahi, a chi nawnta a.

⁷⁰But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”

⁷⁰Himahleh a kitheihmohbawl nawna. Huan, sawtlou nungin a kianga dingten, Peter kiangah, A lak ua mi hi tawk teh, Galili gam a mi na hi ngala, a chi ua.

⁷¹But he began to curse, and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”

⁷¹Aman tuh, Huai na mihing gen uh ka theikei, chiin, hamsia kilohin a kichiamta a.Huan, akkhuan nihveina tuh a khuangpah ngal hi. Huan, Peterin, Jesun a kianga, Ak nihvei a khuan main nang thumvei non kitheihmohbawl ding, a chih thu a theikhe thak nawn a. Huan, huai tuh a ngaihtuaha a kapta.

⁷²The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.

⁷²Huan, akkhuan nihveina tuh a khuangpah ngal hi. Huan, Peterin, Jesun a kianga, Ak nihvei a khuan main nang thumvei non kitheihmohbawl ding, a chih thu a theikhe thak nawn a. Huan, huai tuh a ngaihtuaha a kapta.
