Matthew 27 (BGG)

1Hamiang riang shii boh phabithek nane dukhothek è Isu shii ua muii airo gidieg phak rai.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Ithek è aishii shiirnaithek è joi ne noh srane Roman pha badri Philath shii phi muii.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Zum yi pha Judas è Isu shii nin muii pha yoi mage shii, lubukhid ne liiman sikhithek sa-uom ji idoh yie srane boh phabithek nane dukhothek shii phi muii.When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

4“Gu è ichiig oi pha bran shii zum yi pha ji è layog rekjong muii ro!” Ai è yao. “Gathek ne ji pha chiang shii nyie rek ne gayiig chid phlei?” Ithek è chang. “Hì ne nawai blia ro!”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Judas è sikhithek thiichiih Misiahò shii fen marui ne dun dun; chiihphado dun srane zun ne iy dun.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Boh phabithek è sikhithek chiing srane yao, “Hì ne ifai pha bang ro, chiih-è hì ne Misiahò pha bang rog shii ruii pha ji ne gethek Iphey shii gidieg rey dun phro.”The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

7Bajo nung rai ne ithek è ji pha bangthek è fuang pha branthek shii wieng pha, Jarai rab pha raig jia pheg pha phak rai.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Ji buii ne thuh pha inai shii ji pha raig ne “Ifai pha Raig” Rone beng ne ruii.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Chiihphado chaig Jerimia miyao marui pha ji izai reythog: “Ithek è liiman sikhithek sa-uom, Israel pha branthek è aishii phi pha nuiirai pha bang ji yie,Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

10ne Ithong è gu shii yung pha duiine ji pha bang è jarai rab pha raig pheg muii.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Isu ne hanyie è aishii musai sai pha Roman Badri moe shii riu. “Na ne Jewthek pha saja bey?” Ai è sai. “Nawai è yao muii ro,” Isu è chang.Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Jishii ai è boh phabithek nane dukhothek pha chiang ne nyie de achang phi.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Ji-è, Philath è aishii yao, “Na ne ithek è nashii they ramuii pha jithek ayoi bey?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Jishii Isu è miyaogam jia de chang pha anuii phi, ji è rek pha ji è Badri ne bajo anomuluii pha rey dun.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Hiìadun pha Sai pha ji shii ne Roman badri ne lajia ne idang ibrog è lia pha phathegpho jia shii thoh phi.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Jipha ishak shii zab è thieg pha phathegpho Isu Barabas beng pha ji de um ro.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Ji-è ibrog khrab thog mage shii, Philath è ithek shii sai, “Nathek è gu ne hanyie shii thoh yi pha yang lei? Isu Barabas shii thoh pha ba asi pha Masi beng pha Isu shii thoh haba?”So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18Jewishthek pha riichai è Isu shii ne aishii phi muii rone wie è thieg nyieliieshii ithek ne miegriie ro.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Philath è chua pha hò shii dug bamuii shii, ai yiy è aishii mua jia thoh ge: “Ichiig oi pha bran rog shii nyie de arek rabo, nyieliieshii, dibiu gu ibang shii ai chiang pha sasab ne bajo diig rek pha bang muii ro.”While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

20Boh phabithek nane dukhothek è ibrog shii nyu ne Philath shii Barabas shii thoh ne Isu shii ua mua pha lia yi.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Jishii, Philath bran ibrog thek shii sai, “Nathek è nyi hì è, gu ithek pha hanyie shii thoh yi pha now phlei?” Ithek è chang, “Barabas!”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Philath è ithek shii sai din, “Masi beng pha Isu shii gu è nyie rek pha lei?” “Aishii ne bai hà zun muii bo!” ithek è chang.“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Jishii Philath è sai din, “Ai è nyie suruii rek muii ga?” Ji-è ithek ne bajo boh boh rek ne ziak, “Aishii ne bai shii zun muii bo!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Philath è nyieliieshii ò ji athem pha um rone doh mage shii, ai è kho yi srane, ibrog moe shii wad chun, chiih-è yao, “Hì pha Bran iy pha gaja ne gu asi phro! Hì ne nawaithek mirek ro!”When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

25Zab ibrog è chang, “Ai iy pha gaja gathek nane gathek pha aniphiing shii chiih yi bo!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Philath è Barabas shii nathek shii thoh muii; chiih-è, ai è Isu shii zuang yi ne aishii bai hà zun yi pha phi muii.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Philath pha siphahithek è Isu shii Badri boh hò bucho noh dun srane zab iphiing ai moe shii khrab thog ruii.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Ithek è airo yungthek than maphi ne gai yung shaig jia guii phi.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Chiih-è, ithek è migem phang è rago jia rab ne ai khrug shii thung phi, chiih-è ai phazoi shii thagin jia khoh yi; ji è rek srane ai ibi shii bam ne aishii siakjo noh. Ithek è aishii yao, “Jewthek pha saja phiang sieng bo!”And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30Ithek è aishii chan cho ne muchang yie srane ai khrug shii thab.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Ithek è ai siakjo pha jong mage shii ithek è yung shaig ji than din srane awai yung ji guii din phi. Ji è rek ched ne ithek è aishii bai shii zun pha noh dun.After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

32Ithek è fuang wuiiramuii shii Simon beng pha bran Syrene è wuii ruii pha jia shii si iang. Ji-è, siphaihithek è aishii de Isu bai ji bangchiie nuang ba yi.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Ithek ne “Golgotha beng pha ithua shii wuii thog, ji pha Golgotha pha miyaosiu ne gadong um pha ithua rone è yao pha ro.”And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34Thiichiih shii ithek è Isu shii ikhow lao pha phuii phi, jishii ai è chai mage shii ji aniing.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Ithek aishii bai hà zun maphi ne ai yungthek ne miiran riig ne awaithek chung thang rai.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Jipha idoh è ithek de thiichiih riu ne riig ne rai.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Isu khrug lakhung shii “Hì ne Jewthek pha saja Isu ji rone” ithek è aishii shuang rek ji zey ne miak phi.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Chiih-è, ithek è Isu rog shii awie pha bran nyi shii bai hà zun muii. Jia ne ai phazoi moe shii, jia ne ai phawig moe shii.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Thiichiih è dong ne lua pho thek è awaithek khrug hù ne Isu shii awie dang pha siakjo ne riig.And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40“Na ne Misiahò ji mua srane da-um shii nyarung din phrone yao! Na ne Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Dufuii chak arone, nawai shii de ragia rek mage ne bai ji è thazam lung ne dun mage bo!”and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41Ji duiine phabi boh thek nane Iphey yua pha Masdothek nane dukhothek de aishii siakjo phi:In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42“Ai è gai shii ne ragia rek habuii shii awai shii ne ragia arek mua ara! Ai ne Israel pha saja ji asi bey? Thuh ai è bai è thazam lung ne dun mua arone gathek de aishii migi rek pha ro!“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

43Ai ne Hamangkhung-aphuii shii luthong ne awai shii Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Dufuii rone è yao mua ro. Ji izai arone, Hamangkhung-aphuii è aishii ragia rek pha now bey ne cho gethek de riig sharai!”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Ai rog bai shii zun gieng pha awie bran è aishii ji duiine siakjo dun.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Hanai duchoi rey pha ishak shii zab soh shii igiia rey ne thab dun, ji pha igiia ne ishak uom thog dang pha thab dun.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

Na ne gu shii nyie rek ne thoh muii phlei?”About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

47Thiichiih riu pha giak branthek è yao, “Ai ne Elija shii ho ramuii ro!”When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Ithek è jia è ran srane yung neb jia yie srane phuii bisieng shii wo ne muchang shii jiang ne aishii phi ne niing yi pha rek.One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

49Jishii gaithek è yao, “Khan bi, Elija è wuii ne aishii ragia rek phi pha ji riig bi bo!”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Isu è dinne boh ziak ne idoh hè pha misey sey marui.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Misiahò shii theg pha yung de ijuang è yie dang ne ikhiing thog dang pha zedun. Sohnyiak de shamdun, shakthek de chuidun,At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

55Thiichiih shii bajo hò-amuiithek um, ithek ne ruang è riig ne rai. Hanyie yi Galili è Isu shii nong phi pha wuii gieng pho ro.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

57Habjuang rey mage shii, Arimathea è bukho bran jia wuii thog ruii; ai beng ne Joseph ro, chiih-è, ai de Isu ro samoy jia ro.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Ai è Philath moe shii wuii srane Isu siu ji lia. Philath è Joseph shii siu ji phi ge pha yung.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Ji è, Joseph è ji yie srane, yung iwo jia è jiang phi,So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

Ai è ji pha wieng habin shii lubao boh jia è kheb marui ne dun dun.and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

61Mery Magdalene nane gai Mery yi wieng ji hà dug.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Jipha thimiang ne Jew Thung pha Inai ro, boh phabithek nane Pharisithek Philath shii wuii ne siThe next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”

65Philath è ithek shii yao, “Thiigangpho yie ne, wuii ne nawaithek è khi-èrek mua pha ji rek ne khan yi bo.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”
