Matthew 27 (MNI)

1Ayuk anganbada, athoiba purohitsing pumnamak amasung ahal-lamansingna Jisubu hatnanaba wa tanarammi.When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2Aduga makhoina Ibungobu punduna mapham adudagi puraklaga Rome-gi leingakmapu Pilat-ta sinnarammi.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

3Adudagi makhoina Ibungobu maral siduna sibagi cheirak pikhiba adu Ibungobu pithokpa Judas-na ubada, ningamlaktraduna lupagi sel mayek kunthra adu athoiba purohitsinggi amadi ahal-lamansinggi maphamda handoklammi.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.

4Aduga mahakna hairak-i, “Eina maran leitaba mi amabu pithoktuna pap toukhare.” Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Maduda eikhoigi kari ithou leibage? Madudi nahakki nathouni!”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5Adudagi mahakna lupagi sel mayeksing adu Mapugi Sanglenda langsillamlaga chatkhre; aduga mahakna chatkhraga masa mathanta thouri yanduna sijare.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6Athoiba purohitsingna lupagi sel mayeksing adu loukhatlaga hairak-i, “Masi Mapugi Sanglengi lan-thamphamda thamjinbada eikhoigi Wayel Yathang kai maramdi masi ee-gi mamalni.”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.”

7Aduga makhoina wa tanaraba tungda sel aduna chaphu sabagi loubuk adu leire amasung makhoina maduda lamlanbasingbu phumnanaba mapham semle.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8Maram aduna loubuk adubu “Ee-gi loubuk” haina ngasi phaoba kounari.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Maduna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba Jeremiah-na haikhiba adu thunghalle: “Israel-gi misingna lepkhiba Ibungogi mamal lupagi sel mayek kunthra adu makhoina loure,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,

10Aduga MAPU IBUNGO-na yathang pibikhibagumna sel adu makhoina chaphu sabagi loubuk leibada sijinnare.”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11Matam aduda Jisuna Rome leibakki leingakmapugi mangda leplammi. Aduga leingakmapu aduna Jisuda hanglak-i, “Nahak Jihudisinggi ningthoura?” Maduda Jisuna mangonda khumlak-i, “Hoi, Nahakna hairiba aduni.”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12Adubu athoiba purohitsing amasung ahal-lamansingna Ibungoda maral siba matam aduda Ibungona kari amata khumlamde.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13Maduda Pilat-na Ibungoda hairak-i, “Makhoina nahakki nathakta maral mayam siribasing asi nahak tadabra?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14Adubu Jisuna wahei amatasu khumlaktaba aduda leingakmapu adu yamna ngaklammi.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15Lanthokpibagi chakkhangba khudingda Pilat-na miyamgi apamba phadok amabu thadokpiba asi mahakki mahousani.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16Matam aduda Barabbas kouba maming chatlaba phadok ama leirammi.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17Maram aduna miyam adu tillabada Pilat-na makhoida hanglak-i, “Eina nakhoigidamak kanabu thadok-haningbage? Barabbas pura nattraga Christta kouba Jisubura?”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?”

18Jihudi luchingbasingna kallakpagi maramna Jisubu mangonda sinarakpani haibasi Pilat-na munna khanglammi.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19Aduga Pilat-na wayen phambeida phamlingeida, mahakki nupina pao ama tharaktuna mangonda hairak-i, “Maran leitaba mi aduda nahakna kari amata touganu, maramdi mahakki maramda ngasi mangda yamna awa khanglammi.”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.”

20Adubu athoiba purohitsing amasung ahal-lamansingna miyam aduda Barabbas-pu thadoknanaba aduga Jisubuna hatnanaba haiyu haina insillammi.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21Maduda leingakmapuna makhoida hanglak-i, “Makhoi ani asigi maraktagi kanabu eina nakhoigidamak thadok-haningbage?” Makhoina hairak-i, “Barabbas-pu thadok-u!”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22Maduda Pilat-na makhoida hanglak-i, “Adu oirabadi Christta kouba Jisubu eina kari tougadage?” Makhoi pumnamakna khumlak-i, “Mahakpu cross-ta hatlu!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23Aduda Pilat-na makhoida hanglak-i, “Mahakna kari phattaba toukhrabage?” Maduda makhoina henadum laona hairak-i, “Mahakpu cross-ta hatlu!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

24Mahakna kari amata pangthokpa ngamdre adubu madugi mahutta irang hourakadoure haiba Pilat-na ubada, mahakna miyam adugi mamangda ising louraga makhut hamladuna hairak-i, “Maral leitaba nupa asigi ee-gi maramda eigi iral leite. Masi nakhoigi nasarukni?”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.”

25Maduda makhoi pumnamakna khumlak-i, “Mahakki ee adu eikhoida amasung eikhoigi ichasinggi mathakta tasanu!”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26Maram aduna Pilat-na makhoigidamak Barabbas-pu thadokle aduga mahakna Jisubu phuhalle aduga cross-ta hatnaba makhoida sinakhre.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

27Adudagi leingakmapugi lanmisingna Jisubu leingakmapugi leipham praetorium-da pusille aduga lanmi kangbu apumbana Ibungogi akoibada koisilammi.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

28Aduga makhoina Ibungogi maphi louthoklaga mangra machugi achonba phi setchinbire.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29Adudagi makhoina tingkhanggi luhup ama lollaga Ibungogi makokta upsinbire aduga Ibungogi yet thangba makhuta sing-ut machei ama paihalle. Aduga makhoina Ibungogi mangda khuru khudak kunduna noknaduna hairak-i, “Khurumjari, he Jihudisinggi ningthou?”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!”

30Adudagi makhoina Ibungoda tin sitchille aduga sing-ut machei adu louraga Ibungogi kokta phure.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

31Aduga makhoina Ibungobu noknaraba matungda Ibungogi achonba phi adu louthoklaga Ibungo masagi phi adu amuk hanna setchinbire. Aduga makhoina mahakpu cross-ta hatnaba pukhre.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.

32Makhoina asum chatlingeida Simon kouba Cyrene-gi nupa ama thengnare aduga lanmising aduna mahakpu namduna Jisugi cross puhalle.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

33Adudagi makhoina Golgotha haibadi handokpada “Kokki sarugi mapham” kouba mapham aduda lakle.And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34Lanmising aduna akhaba yansillaba yu Ibungoda thaknaba pirammi adubu Ibungona madu mahao tanglabada thak-u haiba yadre.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35Makhoina Ibungobu cross-ta yotpi thaduna pang tinglaba matungda, makhoina laibak chang yengnaduna Ibungogi maphi-marolsing adu makhoi masel yennarammi. Masi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou aduna haikhiba asi thungnanabani “Makhoina eigi phirol makhoigi marakta yenare aduga makhoina eigi achonba phigidamak laibak chang yengnare!”When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36Aduga makhoina mapham aduda phamduna Ibungobu sanglammi.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37Adudagi “Masi Jihudisinggi ningthou Jisu aduni” haina i-ba Ibungobu maran siba ayiba adu Ibungogi kokthaklomda makhoina thetle.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Makhoina Ibungoga loinana huranba anibusu, amana Ibungogi yetta aduga amana oida cross-ta pang tinglammi.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

39Adudagi manak aduwaida chatthok chatsin touriba misingna Ibungoda thina nganglammi amasung mangak nomladuna,And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

40noknaduna hairak-i, “Mapugi Sanglen thugaiduna numit humnida sagatkadaba nahak, nasabu kanjou! Nahak Tengban Mapugi Machanupa oirabadi cross-tagi kumtharak-u!”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!”

41Adugumduna athoiba purohitsing, Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung ahal- lamansingnasu Jisubu noknaduna hairak-i.In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

42“Mahakna atoppasingbudi kanbi adubu mahak masabudi kanjaba ngamjade, Mahak Israel-gi ningthou nattra? Houjik mahakna cross-tagi kumthasanu aduga eikhoina mahakpu thajage.“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.

43Mahakna Tengban Mapubu thajei. Tengban Mapuna mahakpu kanba pamlabadi houjik mahakpu kanbisanu maramdi ‘Eidi Tengban Mapugi Machanupani’ haina mahakna haijei!”He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Ibungoga loinana pang tingminnakhiba huranba ani adunasu Ibungobu chap manaba maongda ikaiba pirammi.In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

45Numityungba matamda leibak sinba thungna pung ahum amambana kupsillammi.From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

46Pung ahummuk tarakpa matamduda Jisuna ahouba khonjelga loinana laorak-i, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” Masigi wahanthokti “Eigi Tengban Mapu Ibungo, eigi Tengban Mapu Ibungo, nangna eibu karigi thadokpiribano?” haibani.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?”

47Mapham aduda leiriba makhoi kharana madu tabada hairak-i, “Mahakna Elijah-bu kouri.”When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

48Khudak aduda makhoigi maraktagi amana chenkhiduna sponge ama louraga asinba yuda luple aduga sing-ut amada lengsilaga Ibungoda thaknaba pire.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.

49Adubu atoppa misingna hairak-i, “Ngaikho, Elijah laktuna mahakpu kanbibra haibadu eikhoi yengkhisi.”But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50Adudagi Jisuna khonjel houna amuk laoramlaga mathawai thakhre.When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

51Matam aduda Mapugi Sanglen-gi asengba maphamgi phijang adu mathaktagi makha phaoba ani thokna segairammi. Aduga malem niklammi amasung nungjaosing kairammi.At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

52Amasung mongphamsing hangdokle aduga sikhraba asengba mising kaya ama hinggatle.The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

53Aduga Jisuna hinggatlaba matungda, makhoina mongphamsing adu thadoklaga asengba saharda changduna mi kaya amada uhalle.After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

54Lanmi chamagi makok amasung mahakka loinana Jisubu sangliba lanmising aduna yuhar haba amadi thokliba thoudoksing adu ubada yamna kiraduna hairak-i, “Mahak asi asengbamak Tengban Mapugi Machanupani!”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-dagi Jisugi matung injaduna Ibungogi thougal toujakhiba nupi mayam ama mapham aduda arappadagi yengduna leirammi.And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

56Makhoisinggi marakta Mary Magdalene, Jacob amadi Joseph-ki mama Mary, amasung Zebedee-gi nupi yaorammi.Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57Numidangwairam oirakllabada, Jisugi tung-inba amasu oiriba Arimathea-dagi Joseph kouba inakkhunba nupa ama laklammi.When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58Mahakna Pilat-ki maphamda chattuna Jisugi hakchang nijarammi, maduda Ibungogi hakchang adu mangonda pinaba Pilat-na yathang pire.He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Adudagi Joseph-na hakchang adu louraga ananba muga manbi phi amana yomsille.So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60Aduga nungjaoda huttuna semba mahak masagi anouba mongphamda mahakna madubu thamle. Amasung mahakna achouba nung ama insillamduna mongphamgi changpham adu thinglamlaga mahak chatkhre.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.

61Aduga Mary Magdalene amasung atoppa Mary-na mongphamga maiyoknana phamduna leirammi.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62Mathanggi numit haibadi potthaba numitta, athoiba purohitsing amasung pharisee-singna Pilat unaba punna laklammi.The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63Aduga makhoina Pilat-ta hairak-i, “Ikai khumnajaraba Ibungo, minamba nupa aduna hinglingeida, ‘Humni suba numitta eina amuk hinggatkani’ haina haikhiba adu eikhoi ningsing-i.“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Maram aduna numit humni sudriphaoba mongpham adu ningthina ngak-sennaba yathang pibiyu, nattrabadi mahakki tung-inbasingna laktuna mabu hukhraga, mahakpu asibasinggi maraktagi hinggatpikhre, haina misingda haiba yai. Madugi akonba minamba aduna ahanbagi minamba adudagi henna patthaba oigani.”So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. 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.”

65Maduda Pilat-na makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoina ngak-sennaba lanmising lou, Aduga nakhoina ngamba makhei cheksinna ngak-hallu.”“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66Maram aduna makhoina chatkhraga mongpham adugi nung adu chum namduna amadi lanmising thamduna mongpham adu cheksinna ngakhalle.So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
