1Ko ia naʻe toki tuku ʻe Pailato ʻa Sisu, ke kauʻimaea.
1Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
2Pea naʻe fī ʻe he kau tau ʻae tatā ʻakau talatala, ke ʻai ki hono fofonga, ʻonau ʻai kiate ia ʻae pulupulu kulokula.
2The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
3ʻO nau lau, “Siʻotoʻofa tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu!” Pea nau haha ia ʻaki honau nima.
3And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
4Ko ia naʻe toe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Pailato, ʻo ne tala kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻomi ia kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo haʻane kovi.”
4Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
5Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, kuo ʻai ʻae tatā ʻakau talatala, mo e pulupulu kulokula. Pea tala ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Vakai ki he tangata!”
5When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6Ko ia ʻi he mamata ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau matāpule kiate ia, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tutuki ki he ʻakau, tutuki ki he ʻakau.” Pea talaange ʻe Pailato, kiate kinautolu, Mou ʻave ia, ʻo tutuki ki he ʻakau: he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo haʻane kovi.
6As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
7Pea talaange ʻe he kakai Siu kiate ia, “ʻOku ai ʻemau fono, pea ʻi heʻemau fono ʻoku totonu ʻene mate, koeʻuhi naʻa ne ui ia ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
7“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”
8¶ Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pailato ki he lea ko ia, pea ʻāsili ai ʻene manavahē;
8When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
9Pea toe ʻalu ia ki he fale fakamaau, ʻo ne fehuʻi kia Sisu, “ʻOku ke haʻu mei fē?” Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia.
9and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
10Pea pehē ai ʻe Pailato kiate ia, “ʻIkai te ke lea kiate au? ʻIkai te ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae mafai ke tutuki koe ki he ʻakau, pea ʻiate au mo e mafai ke tukuange koe?”
10So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
11Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “ʻE ʻikai te ke mafai ha meʻa kiate au, ʻo ka ne ʻikai foaki ia kiate koe mei ʻolunga: ko ia foki kuo tukuange au kiate koe, ʻoku lahi hake ʻene angahala.”
11Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”
12Pea talu mei ai mo e fie tukuange ia ʻe Pailato: ka naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tukuange ʻae tangata ni, ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kāinga koe ʻo Sisa: ko ia ʻoku ne pehē, ko e tuʻi ia, ʻoku lea kovi ia kia Sisa.”
12From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”
13¶ Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Pailato ki he lea ko ia, naʻa ne ʻomi ʻa Sisu kituʻa, ʻo nofo hifo ʻi he nofoʻa fakamaau, ʻi he potu ʻoku ui “ko e Falikimaka,”’ ka ʻi he lea fakaHepelū, ko “Kapata.”
13When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.
14Pea ko e teuteu ki he kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu, pea ko hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā: pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai Siu, “Vakai ko homou Tuʻi!”
14It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
15Ka naʻa nau kalanga, “ʻAve ia , ʻave ia , tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.” Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Te u tutuki homou Tuʻi ki he ʻakau? Pea talaange ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻOku ʻikai hamau tuʻi ka ko Sisa pē.”
15At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.
16Ko ia naʻa ne toki tukuange ai ia kiate kinautolu ke tutuki ki he ʻakau. Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa Sisu ʻo taki atu.
16Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
17Pea fua ʻe ia hono ʻakau, ʻo ʻalu atu ki he potu ʻoku ui “ ko e potu ʻoe ʻulupoko,” ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko “Kolokota:”
17Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
18ʻO nau tutuki ai ia ki he ʻakau, mo e toko ua kehe mo ia, ʻi hono potu fakatouʻosi pe, kae ʻi hona vahaʻa ʻa Sisu.
18There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19¶ Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Pailato ha tohi fakaʻilonga, ʻo ʻai ia ki ke ʻakau. Pea ko e tohi naʻe pehē , KO SISU ʻO NĀSALETI, KO E TUʻI ʻOE KAKAI SIU.
19Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20Pea naʻe lau ʻae tohi ni ʻe he tokolahi ʻoe kakai Siu: he ko e potu kuo tutuki ai ʻa Sisu naʻe ofi ki he kolo; pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi he lea fakaHepelū, mo e lea fakaKiliki, mo e lea fakaLoma.
20Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21Pea lea ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi ʻoe kakai Siu kia Pailato, “ʻOua ʻe tohi, ‘Ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu:’ kae tohi ‘Naʻe lau ʻe ia, Ko e Tuʻi au ʻoe kakai Siu.’”
21So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
22Pea talaange ʻe Pailato, “Ko ia kuo u tohi, kuo u tohi.”
22Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23¶ Pea kuo tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻa Sisu ʻe he kau tau, pea nau toʻo hono ngaahi kofu ʻo vahe fā, ʻo taki taha ʻae tangata hono vahe ; mo e kofutuʻa foki: pea naʻe ʻikai hano hokoʻanga ʻi he kofutuʻa, ʻi hono lalanga, mei ʻolunga ʻo fai ki lalo.
23When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai ʻiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa tau hae ia, ka tau talotalo ki ai ke ʻa hai ia:” ʻo fakamoʻoni ai ʻae tohi ʻoku pehē, “Naʻa nau tufa hoku ngaahi kofu ʻiate kinautolu, pea nau talotalo ki hoku kofutuʻa. Naʻe pehē ʻae ngāue ʻae kau tau.”
24So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
25¶ Pea naʻe tutuʻu, ʻo ofi ki he ʻakau ʻo Sisu, ʻa ʻene faʻē, mo e tokoua ʻo ʻene faʻē, ko Mele ko e uaifi ʻo Kaliopasi, mo Mele Makitaline.
25Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
26Ko ia ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻene faʻē, mo e ākonga ko ia naʻa ne ʻofa ai, ʻoku tuʻu ʻo ofi, naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene faʻē, “Fefine, vakai ko hoʻo tama!”
26When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
27Pea lea ai ia ki he ākonga, “Vakai ko hoʻo faʻē!” Pea talu mei he feituʻulaʻā ko ia naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he ākonga ko ia ki hono ʻapi.
27Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
28¶ Pea hili ia, pea ʻilo ʻe Sisu kuo fai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoniʻi ʻae tohi, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou fieinu.”
28After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
29Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai ʻae ipu fonu ʻi he vai mahi: pea naʻa nau unu ʻae oma ʻi he vai mahi, ʻo ʻai ia ki ke kauʻi ʻisope, pea ʻohake ia ki hono fofonga.
29A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
30Pea kuo maʻu ʻe Sisu ʻae vai mahi, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hono ngata ia:” pea punou hono fofonga, ʻo tuku hake hono laumālie.
30When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
31Pea ko e ʻaho teuteu ia, pea telia naʻa ʻi he ʻakau ʻae ngaahi sino ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, (he ko e ʻaho Sāpate ko ia ko e ʻaho lahi,) ko ia naʻe kole ai ʻae kakai Siu kia Pailato, ke fesiʻi honau vaʻe, pea ke ʻave ʻakinautolu.
31It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tau, ʻo fesiʻi ʻae vaʻe ʻoe ʻuluaki, mo e tokotaha naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau mo ia.
32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.
33Ka ʻi heʻenau hoko kia Sisu, ʻo vakai kuo mate ia, naʻe ʻikai te nau fesiʻi hono vaʻe.
33But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34Ka ko e tokotaha ʻoe kau tau, naʻa ne hokaʻi hono vakavaka ʻaki ʻae tao, pea naʻe tafe leva mei ai ʻae toto mo e vai.
34Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35Pea ko ia naʻa ne mamata, ʻoku ne fakamoʻoni ki ai , pea ʻoku moʻoni ʻene fakamoʻoni: pea ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻoku ne lea moʻoni, koeʻuhi ke mou tui.
35The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
36He naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ke fakamoʻoni ai ʻae tohi, “ʻE ʻikai fesiʻi ha hui ʻe taha ʻoʻona.”
36Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
37Pea ʻoku pehē mo e tohi ʻe taha, “Te nau sio kiate ia kuo nau hokaʻi.”
37And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
38¶ Pea hili ia, ko Siosefa ʻo ʻAlematea, ko e ākonga ia ʻa Sisu, kae fakalilolilo pe, ko ʻene manavahē ki he kakai Siu, naʻe kole ia kia Pailato ke ne ʻave ʻae sino ʻo Sisu: pea loto ki ai ʻa Pailato. Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae sino ʻo Sisu.
38Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.
39Pea naʻe haʻu mo ia ʻa Nikotimasi, ʻaia naʻe fuofua haʻu kia Sisu ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae mula mo e ʻalosi naʻe fehuʻi ʻaki, ko e lau teau nai hono mamafa .
39Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
40Pea nau toʻo ʻae sino ʻo Sisu, ʻo fakakoloa ʻaki ia ʻae tupenu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakakakala, ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻae kakai Siu ʻi he fai meʻa fakaʻeiki.
40So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
41Pea naʻe ʻi he potu naʻe tutuki ai ia ki he ʻakau ha ngoue; pea ʻi he ngoue ʻae fonualoto foʻou, naʻe teʻeki tuku ki ai ha taha.
41Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
42Pea naʻa nau tuku ki ai ʻa Sisu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho teuteu ʻoe kakai Siu: he naʻe ofi ʻae fonualoto.
42And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
