Matthew 27 (CTH)

1Amom vah vaihma bawinaw hoi tamimaya dawk e kacuenaw ni Jisuh thei hanelah a kâpankhai awh.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Hahoi Bawipa hah a katek awh teh Pailat siangpahrang kut dawk tawngtang a poe awh.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Hatnavah, Bawipa ka pahnawt e Judah Isakarot ni Bawipa a dum e hah a hmu navah, pan a kângai teh, tangka 30 touh hah vaihma bawinaw, bawknae koelah kacuenaw koevah bout a poe.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.

4Ka payon toe, yon ka tawn hoeh e tami e a thi hah ka pahnawt payon toe telah ati. Ahnimouh van ni hai kaimouh hoi bangtelamaw kâkuet a vaw. Nama e hno hah nama ni khen lawih atipouh awh.“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Ahni ni hote tangka hah Bawkim dawk vu a tâkhawng teh alouklah a cei hnukkhu a kaithi.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Vaihma bawinaw ni hote tangka a la awh teh a thi phu doeh. Hno kuemnae dawk pâseng kawi nahoeh telah a kapan awh teh,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.”

7Hlaam ka bo e talai hmuen hah Jentelnaw e phuen hanelah hote tangka hoi a ran awh.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Hote kecu dawkvah atu totouh hote talai hmuen hah ‘thi talai telah a kaw awh.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Profet Jeremiah ni a dei e teh, Isarelnaw ni aphu khoe e tami e aphu tangka 30 touh hah a la awh teh Cathut ni lawk na thui e van patetlah,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,

10Hlaam ka bo e talai hmuen hah ka ran awh tie lawk hah, hatnavah a kuep.and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Jisuh teh ram kaukkung hmalah a pha navah, ram kaukkung ni nang teh Judah siangpahrang katang maw telah a pacei. Jisuh ni na pacei e patetlah atang doeh atipouh.Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Vaihma bawinaw hoi kacuenaw ni yon a pen awh navah kam touh boehai pathung hoeh.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Pailat bawi ni nange avanglah moikapap ni a kampangkhai e hah na thai hoeh maw atipouh nakunghai,Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Kam touh boehai a pathung hoeh e hah ram kaukkung ni a ka ngai lah a ru.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Hote pawi dawkvah ram kaukkung ni thongkabawtnaw thung dawk hoi tami kapap ni a ngai e tami buetbuet touh hah ouk tha e lah ao.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Hatnavah paung e naw thung dawk Barabas tie min kamthang e tami buet touh ao.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Taminaw a kamkhueng awh toteh Pailat bawi ni nangmouh ni apimaw hlout sak hanlah na ngai awh, Barabas maw hoehpawiteh Khrih tie Jisuh hah maw, telah taminaw hah a pacei.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?”

18Hettelah a paceinae teh ahnimouh ni a ut awh dawkvah Jisuh a man sak ati e hah Pailat bawi ni a panue dawk doeh.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Hothloilah, lawkcengnae tungkhung dawk a tahung navah a yu ni tami a patoun teh, hote tamikalan hah bang telah hai tet hanh. Sahnin roeroe vah kai ni ahni kecu dawk ka mang lah puenghoi ka khang toe, telah lawk a thui.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.”

20Tami ka kamkhuengnaw ni Barabas hlout sak vaiteh Jisuh thei sak hanlah vaihma bawinaw hoi kacuenaw ni taminaw hah a uen awh.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Hatdawkvah ram ka uk bawi ni het tarawi thung dawk, nangmouh ni api hah maw hlout sak han na ngai awh telah bout a pacei navah; ‘Barabas doeh hlout sak ka ngai awh telah a dei awh.“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Pailat bawi ni ‘hah pawiteh Khrih tie Jisuh hah te bangtelamaw ti han telah bout a pacei navah; ahnimouh pueng ni ‘ahni hateh thingpalam dawk hetnae khang seh telah ati awh.“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Ram kaukkung bawi ni hai ‘bangkongmaw, bangmaw a sakpayon telah a pacei navah, ahni teh thingpalam dawk het lah awmseh telah hoe a hram awh.“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Pailat bawi ni tâ laipalah taminaw ni hoehoe a coukdouk awh e hah a hmu toteh, tui a la teh taminaw e a hmalah a kut a kamsin teh, hete tamikalan e a thi hoi kai teh ka bet hoeh, na ngai e patetlah sak a lawih a ti.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.”

25Hote tami pueng ni, ahni e a thi teh kaimae lû dawk, ka catounnaw e a lû dawk bawt lawiseh ati awh.All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Pailat bawi ni hai Barabas hah a tha pouh. Jisuh hah a hem hnukkhu thingpalam dawk thei hanelah a poe.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Hat torei teh ram kaukkung e a ransanaw ni Jisuh hah bawi imthung lah a hrawi awh teh, ransahu abuemlah a kamkhueng sak.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28A khohna hah a rading pouh awh, hni paling a kâkhu sak awh.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Pâkhinglukhung a kâmuk sak awh. Sonron buet touh aranglah a sin sak awh teh, a hmalah khokcuengkhuem sin awh teh, Judah siangpahrang, nang koe yawhawinae awm naseh ti hoi a pacekpahlek awh.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!”

30Tamtui hoi a tamthawi awh sonron hah a la pouh awh teh a lû dawk a hem pouh awh.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Hottelah a pacekpahlek awh hnukkhu, a kâkhu e hah a rading pouh awh teh, amae kâkhu e hah bout a kâkhu sak awh teh, thingpalam dawk het hanlah a tâcokhai awh.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.

32A cei awh lahun nah Simon tie Sairen tami, buet touh a hmu awh teh, thingpalam hah hmatara a hrawm sak awh.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Luhru hmuen tie Galgotha a pha awh toteh,And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34tâsi kakhat hoi a kalawt awh e misurtui kathut poung e hah nei sak hanlah a poe awh. A patek teh nei han ngai hoeh.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Thingpalam dawk a pathout awh hnukkhu cungpam a rayu awh teh a kâkhu e hni hah a kâravei awh.When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Hote hmuen koe tahung laihoi a ring awh.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Yon pâphonae ca a vo pouh e teh, ‘het e tami teh Judah siangpahrang Jisuh doeh, telah a thut awh teh a lû lathueng a vo pouh awh.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Hatnavah Bawipa hoi cungtalah dingca kahni touh aranglah buet touh, avoilah buet touh thingpalamnae dawk a pathout awh.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Lam dawk ka cet kaawm e naw ni Bawkim hah ka raphoe vaiteh hnin thum touh hoi bout ka sak han e, namahoima kâhloutsak haw.And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40Cathut e Capa katang lah na awm pawiteh namahoima rungngang nateh, thingpalamnae dawk hoi kum leih telah a lû kahek awh teh pacekpahleknae lawk a dei awh.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!”

41Hot patetvanlah vaihma bawinaw, cakathutkungnaw, tami kacuenaw niyah ayânaw teh a rungngang thai,In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42Amahoima teh kârungngang thai hoeh bo. Judah siangpahrang katang na tetpawiteh thingpalamnae dawk hoi atu kum naseh. Kum pawiteh ka yuem awh han.“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.

43Ahni teh Cathut a kâuep toe. Kai teh Cathut Capa doeh ati toe. Hatdawkvah Cathut ni ahni dawk a ngainae awm pawiteh atu roeroe vah kârungngang na seh telah a dudam awh teh a dei awh.He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Hot patetlah Bawipa hoi cungtalah thingpalamnae dawk a het awh e dingcanaw ni hai a pathoe awh teh yon a pen awh.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Kanî tuengtalueng a thunnae koehoi suimilam kathum totouh talai van pueng dawk kho a hmo.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Tangmin lah suimilam kathum navah Jisuh ni ‘Eli, Eli, Lama Sabakhthani. telah a hram. Hot hateh, Ka Cathut, ka Cathut bangkongmaw na pahnawt tinae doeh.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?”

47Hote hmuen koe kangdout e a tangawn ni a thai awh navah Elijah doeh a kaw ati awh.When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Tami buet touh ni tang a yawng teh, napon a sin teh, misurtui kathut e hoi a kalawt hnukkhu rayung dawk a takei teh nei sak hanlah a poe.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.

49Alouknaw ni tat yawkaw, Elijah ni ahni rungngang hanlah a tho ou, tho hoeh ou tie heh khen a haw sei ati awh.But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Jisuh ni tha hoi bout a hram teh hringnae a thouk.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Hattoteh Bawkim thung e yaphni a lû hoi a khok totouh a kâphi. Talai a kâhuet. Lungsongnaw a kâbawng.At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

53Bawipa a thaw hnukkhu, ahnimanaw teh tangkom thung hoi a tâco awh teh khopui kathoung thungvah a kâen awh, tami moikapap koe a kamnue awh.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Jisuh ka ring e ransabawi hoi ransahu ni talai a kâhuet e a hmu awh toteh a taki awh dawkvah Cathut e Capa tangngak doeh ati awh.When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

55Galilee kho e Jisuh khetyawt hanlah a hnukkâbang e napuinaw ni hote hmuen koevah ahlanae koehoi a khet awh.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Hote napuinaw dawkvah Meri Magdalin, Jem hoi Joseph e a manu Meri hoi Zebedee e capanaw e manu tinaw a bawk awh.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

58Pailat bawi koe a kâen teh Jisuh e ro hah a hei. Pailat ni a ro hah poe lah awmseh telah kâ a poe.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

60ama hanelah lungsong dawk thuk e tangkom katha thung vah a ta. Lungphenpui hoi takhang a teng teh a ceitakhai .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.

62Atangtho toteh vaihma bawinaw hoi Farasinaw ni Pailat bawi koe a kamkhueng awh teh,The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63‘hot e kadumyenkung ni kai teh apâthum hnin kathâw han telah a due hoehnahlan a dei e hah ka panue awh rah.“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

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.”

65Pailat ni ‘nangmouh koe ka ring e tamihu touh ao. Cet awh nateh a coung thai totouh a uep thai nahanlah ring awh atipouh.“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”
