1Ko ia naʻe toki tuku ʻe Pailato ʻa Sisu, ke kauʻimaea.
1Then therefore, Pilate took Jesus, and scourged him.
2Pea naʻe fī ʻe he kau tau ʻae tatā ʻakau talatala, ke ʻai ki hono fofonga, ʻonau ʻai kiate ia ʻae pulupulu kulokula.
2And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple garment.
3ʻO nau lau, “Siʻotoʻofa tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu!” Pea nau haha ia ʻaki honau nima.
3And they came to him, and said: Hail, king of the Jews; and they gave him blows.
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.”
4Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them: Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in 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!”
5(Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold 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.
6When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants, had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in 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.”
7The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8¶ Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pailato ki he lea ko ia, pea ʻāsili ai ʻene manavahē;
8When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more.
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 entered into the hall again, and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him 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?”
10Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?
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: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee, hath the 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.”
12And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar’s friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against 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.”
13Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew 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!”
14And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold 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.”
15But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
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 therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.
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:”
17And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew 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.
18Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.
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.
19And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: 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.
20This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
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.’”
21Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but 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.
23The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part,) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
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.”
24They said then one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lot. And the soldiers indeed did these things.
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.
25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
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 therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy 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.
27After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.
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.”
28Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.
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.
29Now there was a vessel set there full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, put 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.
30Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.
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.
31Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tau, ʻo fesiʻi ʻae vaʻe ʻoe ʻuluaki, mo e tokotaha naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau mo ia.
32The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
33Ka ʻi heʻenau hoko kia Sisu, ʻo vakai kuo mate ia, naʻe ʻikai te nau fesiʻi hono vaʻe.
33But after they were come to Jesus, when they 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.
34But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
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.
35And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; 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.”
36For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.
37Pea ʻoku pehē mo e tohi ʻe taha, “Te nau sio kiate ia kuo nau hokaʻi.”
37And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they 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.
38And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
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 .
39And Nicodemus also came, (he who at the first came to Jesus by night,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
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.
40They took therefore the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
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 in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.
42Pea naʻa nau tuku ki ai ʻa Sisu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho teuteu ʻoe kakai Siu: he naʻe ofi ʻae fonualoto.
42There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
