Luke 23
1Then the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate.
1PEA naʻe tutuʻu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻo taki ia kia Pailato.
2And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
2Pea naʻa nau kamata talatalaakiʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mau ʻilo ʻae siana ni ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai, ʻo ne taʻofi ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, ʻo ne pehē, ko ia pe ko e Kalaisi ko e Tuʻi.”
3And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him,“You have said so.”
3Pea fehuʻi ʻa Pailato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e Tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu?” Pea leaange ʻe ia kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia pe.”
4Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”
4Pea pehē ai ʻe Pailato ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kakai, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻi he tangata ni.”
5But they were urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place.”
5Pea ʻāsili ai ʻenau lili, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai, ʻo ne ako ʻi Siutea kotoa, ngata mei Kāleli ʻo aʻu ki he potu ni.”
6When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
6Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pailato ki ai, pea fehuʻi ai ia pe ko e tangata Kāleli ia.
7And when he learned that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.
7Pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻoku ne mei he feituʻu ʻoku pule ai ʻa Helota, pea ne fekau ia kia Helota, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema foki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
8When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by him.
8Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Helota kia Sisu, naʻe fiefia lahi ia; he kuo fuoloa mo ʻene holi ke mamata ki ai, koeʻuhi kuo ne fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻiate ia: pea ne fakaʻamu ke mamata ki haʻa ne fai ha meʻa mana.
9So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer.
9Pea naʻe lahi ʻene ngaahi ʻeke kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ʻe ia ki ai.
10The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.
10Pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi, ʻonau talatalaaki mālohi ia.
11And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, arraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.
11Pea taukaea ia ʻe Helota, mo ʻene kautau, mo nau manukiʻi, pea nau ʻai ʻae kofu ngingila kiate ia, ʻo toe fekau ia kia Pailato.
12And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.
12Pea ko e ʻaho ko ia naʻe feʻofoʻofani ai ʻa Pailato mo Helota: he kuo loa ʻena feʻiteʻitani.
13Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
13Pea kuo fakataha ʻe Pailato ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kakai,
14and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him.
14Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou ʻomi ʻae tangata ni kiate au, ʻo hangē ko ha taha ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai pea vakai, kuo u ʻekea ia ʻi homou ʻao; pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻoe tangata ni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mou talatalaakiʻi ai ia:
15Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him.
15Pea ko Helota foki; he naʻaku fekau ʻakimoutolu kiate ia; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku totonu ke mate ai ia.”
16I will therefore punish and release him.”
16Ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”
18But they all cried out together, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas”—
18Pea naʻa nau kalanga fakataha kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ʻae tangata ni, kae tuku mai ʻa Palāpasa kiate kimautolu:”
19a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder.
19(ʻAia naʻe lī ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fakaaoao ʻi he kolo, mo e fakapō.)
20Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus,
20Ka naʻe loto ʻa Pailato ke tukuange ʻa Sisu, ko ia ne ne toe lea ai kiate kinautolu.
21but they kept shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!”
21Ka naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tutuki ki he ʻakau, tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.”
22A third time he said to them, “Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him.”
22Pea lea ia kiate kinautolu ko hono tuʻo tolu, “Koeʻumaʻā, ko e hā ha kovi kuo ne fai? ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia: ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”
23But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
23Ka naʻe mālohi ʻenau lea pea longoaʻa lahi, ʻonau pehē, “Ke tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.” Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae leʻo ʻokinautolu mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi.
24So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
24Pea fekau ʻe Pailato ke fai ʻo hangē ko honau loto.
25He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will.
25Pea ne tukuange kiate kinautolu ia naʻa nau holi ki ai, ʻaia naʻe lī ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko e fakaaoao mo e fakapō; ka ne tukuange ʻa Sisu ki honau loto.
26And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.
26Pea ʻi heʻenau kei taki atu ia, naʻa nau puke ʻae tokotaha ko Saimone, ko e Sailini, ʻoku haʻu mei he tukuʻuta, pea naʻa nau hili kiate ia ʻae ʻakau, ke ne fua ʻo muimui ia Sisu.
27And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him.
27Pea naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, mo e kau fefine, ʻonau tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko ia.
28But turning to them Jesus said,“Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
28Ka naʻe tafoki ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻOua naʻa mou tangi koeʻuhi ko au, kae tangi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea mo hoʻomou fānau.
29For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’
29Vakai, he ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho te nau pehē ai, ‘ʻOku monūʻia ʻae paʻa, pea mo e manāva naʻe ʻikai fānau, mo e huhū naʻe ʻikai fakahuhūʻaki.’
30Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’
30Pea te nau toki kamata lea ai ki he ngaahi moʻunga, “Holo mai kiate kimautolu:” pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, “Uʻufi ʻakimautolu.”|’
31For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
31He kapau te nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ki he ʻakau mata, ko e hā ʻe fai ki he mōmoa?”
32Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.
32Pea naʻe tataki mo ia foki ʻae ongo fai kovi ʻe toko ua ke tāmateʻi.
33And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.
33Pea kuo nau hoko ki he potu ʻoku ui ko Kalivali, naʻa nau tuki ia ʻi ai ki he ʻakau, mo e ongo fai kovi, ko e tokotaha ki he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e tokotaha ki he nima toʻohema.
34And Jesus said,“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.
34Pea toki pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻE Tamai, fakamolemole ʻakinautolu; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku nau fai.” Pea naʻa nau vahevahe ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, ʻo talotalo.
35And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!”
35Pea tuʻu ʻae kakai, ʻo mamata. Pea nau manuki mo e kau matāpule kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae kakai; tuku ke ne fakamoʻui ia, ʻo kapau ko e Kalaisi ia, ko e ʻofeina ʻae ʻOtua.”
36The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine
36Pea manukiʻi foki ia ʻe he kau tau, mo nau ʻalu ange, ʻo ʻatu ʻae vaimahi kiate ia,
37and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
37Mo nau pehē, “Kapau ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu, fakamoʻui koe.”
38There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”
38Pea naʻe tohi foki ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia, ʻae tohi ʻi he lea fakaKiliki, mo e lea fakaLoma, mo e lea fakaHepelū, KO ENI ʻAE TUʻI ʻOE KAKAI SIU.
39One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!”
39Pea naʻe manuki kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻoe ongo fai kovi naʻe tautau, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau ko e Kalaisi koe, fakamoʻui koe mo kimaua.”
40But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
40Ka naʻe leaange ʻa hono toko ua, ʻo ne valoki ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai te ke manavahē koe ki he ʻOtua, he ʻoku ke malaʻia foki?
41And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”
41Pea ʻoku totonu kiate kitaua, he ko e totongi totonu ʻo ʻeta ngāue: ka naʻe ʻikai ha kovi ʻe fai ʻe he tangata ni.”
42And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
42Pea pehē ʻe ia kia Sisu, “ʻEiki ke ke manatuʻi au, ʻoka ke ka hoko ki ho puleʻanga.”
43And he said to him,“Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
43Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni kiate koe, Te ta ʻi Palataisi mo au he ʻaho ni.”
44It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,
44Pea ko hono ono nai ia ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae fonua kotoa pē, ʻo aʻu ki hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
45while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.
45Pea fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā, pea mahae ua mālie ʻae puipui ʻoe falelotu lahi.
46Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said,“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last.
46Pea tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ‘ʻoku ou tuku hoku laumālie ki ho nima: pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea pekia ia.’|”
47Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!”
47Pea kuo mamata ʻae ʻeikitau ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea fakamālō ia ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē, “Tā ko e moʻoni ko e tangata māʻoniʻoni eni.”
48And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.
48Pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe kātoa ki he vakai ʻoe meʻa ko ia, ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai, naʻa nau si fatafata, ʻo toe ʻalu.
49And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things.
49Pea ko hono kāinga kotoa pē, mo e kau fefine naʻe muimui ʻiate ia mei Kāleli, naʻa nau tutuʻu mei he mamaʻo, ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
50Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,
50Pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe hingoa ko Siosefa, ko e fakamaau, ko e tangata lelei pea angatonu:
51who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God.
51(Naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki he fakakaukau mo e ngāue ʻanautolu:) ko e ʻAlematea ia, ko e kolo ʻoe kakai Siu: pea naʻe tatali foki ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
52This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
52Naʻe ʻalu ia kia Pailato, ʻo ne kole ʻae sino ʻo Sisu.
53Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid.
53Pea ne vete hifo ia, ʻo fakakoloa ʻaki ia ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo tuku ia ki he fonualoto kuo tā ʻi he loto maka, ʻaia naʻe teʻeki fakatokoto ai ha tokotaha.
54It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.
54Pea ko e ʻaho teuteu ia, pea kuo ofi ʻae Sāpate.
55The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
55Ko e kau fefine foki, naʻe omi mo ia mei Kāleli, naʻa nau muimui mai, ʻo, mamata ki he fonualoto, mo e tuku ʻo hono sino.
56Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
56Pea naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo tokonaki ʻae ngaahi ʻakau namu kakala mo e lolo tākai; pea nau mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻo hangē ko e fekau.
