¹Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

¹Huan, jingsang a honghihtakin, siampu liante tuh upate leh laigelhmite leh vaihawmte tengteng toh a kihou ua, Jesu a hen ua, a pi ua, Pilat kiangah a pe pah ngal uhi.

²Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”

²Huan, Pilatin a kiangah, Judate Kumpipa na hi hia, chiin a donga. Huan, aman a kiangah, Hi e, chiin, a dawng a.

³The chief priests accused him of many things.

³Huan, siampu lianten thu tampiin a hek ua.

⁴Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”

⁴Huchiin, Pilatin a dong nawna, a kiangah, Bangmaha dawng lou maw? Ngai tanla, a honhek na uh tamdan! a chi a.

⁵But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

⁵Jesun bel bangmahin a dawngta keia; huchiin Pilatin lamdang a sa mahmah.

⁶Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

⁶Huan, Pilatin ankuanglui nin mi henta khat a nget peuhmah uh a pawtsak jel a.

⁷There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

⁷Huan, mi khat, Barabba a chih uh, a helte lakah hensain a oma, huaiten tuh helna ah tual a that uh.

⁸The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

⁸Huan, mipite a vahohtou ua, amau adinga a hihsak jel banga hihsak dingin a ngen ua.

⁹Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

⁹Huan, Pilatin a dawnga, a kiang uah, Judate Kumpipa honkhahsak leng na ut u hia? a chi a.

¹⁰For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

¹⁰Siampu lianten hajat mana a honpaipih uh ahi chih a thei ngala.

¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

¹¹Himahleh, siampu lianten mipite tuh Barabba pawt sak jawk ngen dingin a hasuan ua.

¹²Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”

¹²Huan, Pilatin a kiang uah, Judate Kumpipa a chih uh bang ka loh tadia le? chiin, a dong nawn a.

¹³They cried out again, “Crucify him!”

¹³Huan, amau, Kros ah kilhden in, chiin, a kikou nawn ua.

¹⁴Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”

¹⁴Huan, Pilatin a kiang uah, Bang din maw? Bang a hihkhiala ahia? a chi a. Himahleh amau tuh, Kros ah kilhden in, chiin, a kikou semsem ua.

¹⁵Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

¹⁵Huchiin, Pilatin mipite hihlungkim a uta, Barabba tuh a pawt sakta; huan, Jesu tuh a vuak zohin krosa kilhden dingin a peta hi.

¹⁶The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

¹⁶Huan, sepaihten inhuangsung kong lai, Praitoriam a chih uah, amah a pilut ua, a pawl ua mi tengteng a sam khawm uh.

¹⁷They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

¹⁷Huchiin puansan dup a silhsak ua, ling lukhu a gan ua, a khusak uh.

¹⁸They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

¹⁸Huan, Chibai, Judate Kumpipa! chiin, chibai a bukta uh.

¹⁹They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

¹⁹Huan, a lu ah sialluangin a khen ua, chil a siat ua, khukdin in chibai a buk uh.

²⁰When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

²⁰Huan, nuihza baawlnaa a zat zoh un, puan san dup tuh a hawk ua, amah puan a silh sak nawn ua, krosa kilhden dingin a a pi kheta uh.

²¹They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

²¹Huan, mi vialvak khat, a gamlama kipana hongpai, a kros po dingin a man ua Simon Kurini khua a, Aleksandar leh Rufasi pa tuh.

²²They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”

²²Huan, Jesu tuh Golgotha munah a pi ua, huai tuh Lu Guh mun, chihna ahi.

²³They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

²³Huan, uain murra toh hel a pia ua, himahleh a sang nuam kei hi.

²⁴Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

²⁴Huan, kros ah a kilhden ua, a tan ding chiat uh theihna dingin aisanin a puansilhte tuh a kihawm uh.

²⁵It was the third hour, 9:00 A. M. and they crucified him.

²⁵Huan a kilhden uh tuh dak thumna khawng ahi a.

²⁶The superscription of his accusation was written over him, “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

²⁶Huan, a hekna lai a tunglamah a gelh ua, JUDATE KUMPIPA, chiin.

²⁷With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

²⁷Huan, suamhat nih amah toh a kilhden sam ua, a taklamah khat, a veilamah khat.

²⁸The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, “He was numbered with transgressors.” NU omits verse 28.

²⁸Huan, Laisiangthou, Huchiin amah tuh talekte toh simkhawm a hita, chih genna hihtangtunin a omta hi.

²⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

²⁹Huan, mi kivialleh peuhin a lu uh singin, Ehe! Nang Pathian biakin susiaa ni thuma lam nawnpa,

³⁰save yourself, and come down from the cross!”

³⁰Kihihhing inla, kros a kipan hongkum in, chiin a enghou ua.

³¹Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.

³¹Huchi bangmahin siampu lianten, laigelhmite toh, amau laka enghouin, midang bawn hihhinga, amah kihihhing theilou bang.

³²Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him. TR omits “him” ” Those who were crucified with him insulted him.

³²I muh a, i gintak theihna dingin, Kris, Israel Kumpipa, tuin krosa kipan hongkum leh ake, a chi ua. Huan, amah toh a kilhden samte un leng amah a enghou ua.

³³When the sixth hour or, noon had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 3:00 PM

³³Huan, dak gukna a honghihin, dak kuana dongin gam pumpi ah mialna a hongomta a.

³⁴At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

³⁴Huan, dak kuana khawng dingin Jesu tuh aw ngaihtakin, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani? chiin a kikou khiaa, huai tuh, Ka Pathian, ka Pathian, bangdia honpaisan? chihna ahi.

³⁵Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”

³⁵Huan, a kianga ding khenkhatten huai a jak un, Ngai un, Elija a sam, a chi ua.

³⁶One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”

³⁶Huan, mi khat a taia, spanji uain thuka diah dimin, chiangah a taka, a dawn tou saka. Khawl dih ua, amah la khe dingin Elija a hong hiam i en ding uh, a chi a.

³⁷Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

³⁷Huan, Jesu tuh aw ngaihtakin a kikou a, a kha a khahta hi.

³⁸The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.

³⁸Huan, Pathian biakin puanjak tuh a tunglam akipanin a nuailam phain a hongkikek paisuakta.

³⁹When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

³⁹Huan, a ma jawna sepaih zaheutupa dingin a kha huchibanga a khah a muhin, Hiai mi Pathian Tapa ahi ngeingei, a chi a.

⁴⁰There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴⁰Huan, numeite leng gamla taka enin a om ua; huaite lakah Mari Magdalini, Mari Jakob naupangjaw leh Jose nu, Salomi leng a pang ua;

⁴¹who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴¹Huaite tuh Galili gama a om laia, amah juia, a nasepsak jelte ahi uh; huan, numei dang tampi Jerusalem khuaa amah toh hohtou samte leng a om uh.

⁴²When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

⁴²Huan, nitaklam a honghihin Kiginni a hih jiakin, huai tuh Khawlni maa ni ahi,

⁴³Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

⁴³Joseph, Arimathai khua a mi, vaihawmpa zahtakhuai, Pathian gam lamen sam mi, a honga, hangtakin Pilat kiangah a luta, Jesu luang a ngenta a.

⁴⁴Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

⁴⁴Huchiin, Pilatin huchibanga a si pah tuh lamdang a sa mahmah a, huchiin sepaih zaheutupa samin, a sihna a sawtta hiam chih a dong a

⁴⁵When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁵Huan, sepaih zaheutupa kama a sita chih a theihin, a luang Joseph kiangah a pia a.

⁴⁶He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁴⁶Huan, aman tuh puan malngat a leia, amah a la khia a, puan malngatin a tuama, han khuakkuak ah a siala, han kong suangin a delhta a.Huan, Mari Magdalini leh Jose nu Mariin a sialna tuh a mu uh.

⁴⁷Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

⁴⁷Huan, Mari Magdalini leh Jose nu Mariin a sialna tuh a mu uh.
