King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko ia naʻe toki tuku ʻe Pailato ʻa Sisu, ke kauʻimaea.
1Then Pilate therefore 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 platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3ʻO nau lau, “Siʻotoʻofa tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu!” Pea nau haha ia ʻaki honau nima.
3And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
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 unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault 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!”
5Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto 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 officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him , crucify him . Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him : for I find no fault 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 by our 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;
8¶ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the 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 went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto 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?”
10Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and 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 couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto 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 thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cæsar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cæsar.
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.”
13¶ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the 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 preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto 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 unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar.
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 delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led 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:”
17And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the 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 two other with him, on either side one, 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.
19¶ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on 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 then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and 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 said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am 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.
23¶ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and 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 therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore 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.
25¶ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, 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 therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto 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.
27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own 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.”
28¶ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, 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 set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and 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.
30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and 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.
31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high 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.
32Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
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 dead already, they brake not 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 pierced his side, and forthwith came there 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 bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might 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 should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
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.
38¶ And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being 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 him 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 there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought 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.
40Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes 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 in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
42Pea naʻa nau tuku ki ai ʻa Sisu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho teuteu ʻoe kakai Siu: he naʻe ofi ʻae fonualoto.
42There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day ; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
