1Pea kuo pongipongi hake, pea fealēleaʻaki ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai kia Sisu, ke tāmateʻi ia:
1When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.
2Pea hili ʻenau haʻi ia, naʻa nau toki ʻave ia kia Ponito Pailato ko e pule.
2They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.
3¶ Pea ko Siutasi, ʻaia naʻa ne lavakiʻi ia, ʻi heʻene mamata kuo fakamaau ia ke mate, naʻe fakatomala ia, ʻo ne toe ʻomi ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau mātuʻa,
3When 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.
4ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo u fai angahala ʻi heʻeku lavakiʻi ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni.” Pea nau pehē, “Ko e hā ia kiate kimautolu? Vakai pe ʻe koe.”
4“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”
5Pea lī ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi konga siliva ki lalo ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne ʻalu atu ʻo noʻouʻa ia.
5So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6Pea toʻo mai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi ʻae ngaahi konga siliva, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua ke ʻai ia ki he puha koloa, he ko e totongi ia ʻoe toto.”
6The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
7Pea naʻa nau fakakaukau, pea toki fakatauʻaki ia ʻae ngoue ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ke tanu ai ʻae kakai muli.
7After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.
8Ko ia naʻe ui ʻae ngoue ko ia, “ko e ngoue ʻoe toto”, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
8That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9Pea fakamoʻoni ai ia ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē, “Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu, ko hono totongi ʻo ia naʻe fakatau, ʻaia naʻe fakatatau ia ki ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli;
9Then 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,
10ʻo totongi ʻaki ia ʻae ngoue ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate au.”
10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”
11Pea tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe pule: pea fehuʻi ʻae pule kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko ia pe.”
11Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
12Pea ʻi he talakoviʻi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau mātuʻa, naʻe longo pe ia.
12And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.
13Pea toki lea ʻa Pailato kiate ia, “ʻIkai te ke fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi ni ʻoku nau fakaʻilo ʻiate koe?”
13Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”
14Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito lea ia ki ai; ko ia naʻe ofo lahi ʻaupito ai ʻae pule.
14But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.
15Pea ko e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he pule ʻi he kātoanga ko ia, ko e vete ʻo tuku atu ki he kakai ha pōpula ʻe tokotaha, naʻa nau loto ki ai.
15Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.
16Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻae pōpula ongoongo, naʻe ui ko Palāpasa.
16At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
17Ko ia ʻi he kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻoku mou loto ke u tuku atu kiate kimoutolu? ʻA Palāpasa, pe ko Sisu ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi?”
17So 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?”
18He naʻa ne ʻilo ko e meʻa ʻi he meheka kuo nau tuku atu ai ia.
18For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.
19¶ Pea kuo nofo ia ʻi he nofoʻanga fakamaau, pea fekau ʻe hono uaifi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke kau ʻi ha meʻa ki he tangata māʻoniʻoni na: he naʻaku mamahi lahi he ʻaho ni koeʻuhi ko ia ʻi heʻeku misi.”
19While 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.”
20Ka naʻe ueʻi ʻae kakai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ke nau kole ʻa Palāpasa, kae tāmateʻi ʻa Sisu.
20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.
21Pea lea ʻae pule, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻiate kinaua ʻoku mou loto te u ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu?” Pea nau pehē, “Ko Palāpasa.”
21“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.
22Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Pea ko e hā te u fai kia Sisu ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi?” Pea nau pehē kotoa pē, “Tuku ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.”
22“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”
23Pea pehē ʻe he pule, “He ko e hā, ko e hā ha kovi kuo ne fai?” Ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻenau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.”
23“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”
24¶ Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Pailato ʻoku ʻikai siʻi felave ʻene lea, kae tupu pe ʻae maveuveu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae vai, ʻo fanofano hono nima ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou maʻa au ʻi he toto ʻoe tangata angatonu ni: mou vakai ki ai .”
24When 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.”
25Pea lea ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻiate kimautolu mo ʻemau fānau hono toto.”
25All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
26¶ Pea toki tukuange ai ʻe ia ʻa Palāpasa kiate kinautolu; pea hili ʻene kauʻimaea ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne tukuange ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.
26So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
27Pea toki ʻave ʻa Sisu ʻe he kau tau ʻoe pule ki he fale lahi, pea fakataha kiate ia ʻae kautau kotoa.
27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.
28Pea nau toʻo hono kofu, ʻo ʻai kiate ia ʻae pulupulu kulaʻahoʻaho.
28They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.
29¶ Pea hili ʻenau lalanga ʻae tatā ʻaki ʻae ʻakau talatala, naʻa nau ʻai ia ki hono fofonga, mo e vaʻa kaho ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu: pea nau tūʻulutui ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo manukiʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Siʻotoʻofa, Tuʻi ʻoe kakai, Siu!”
29And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand and knelt down before Him to mock Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30Pea nau ʻaʻanu kiate ia, ʻo toʻo ʻae vaʻa kaho, ʻo taaʻi ʻaki hono fofonga.
30Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.
31Pea hili ʻenau manukiʻi ia, naʻa nau toʻo ʻae pulupulu meiate ia, kae toe ʻai hono kofu ʻoʻona kiate ia, ʻo taki atu ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.
31After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.
32Pea ʻi heʻenau hū kituaʻā, naʻa nau ʻilo ai ʻae tangata Sailine, ko Saimone hono hingoa: pea nau puleʻi ia ke ne fua hono ʻakau.
32Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.
33¶ Pea kuo nau hoko ki he potu naʻe ui ko Kolokota, ko hono ʻuhinga, “ko e potu ʻoe ʻulupoko.”
33And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,
34Naʻa nau ʻoatu kiate ia ʻae vai mahi kuo huʻi ʻaki ʻae ʻahu ke ne inu: pea naʻa ne kamata ia , kae ʻikai te ne inu.
34they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.
35Pea naʻa nau tutuki ia ki he ʻakau, pea nau vahevahe hono ngaahi kofu ʻi he talotalo: koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, “Naʻa nau tufa hoku ngaahi kofu kiate kinautolu, mo nau talotalo ki hoku kofutuʻa.”
35When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.
36Pea nau nofo ki lalo, ʻo leʻohi ia;
36And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
37Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻi ʻolunga ʻi hono fofonga hono talakoviʻi kuo tohi, KO SISU ENI KO E TUʻI ʻOE KAKAI SIU.
37Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38Pea naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau fakataha mo ia ʻae ongo kaihaʻa ʻe toko ua, ko e taha ki hono nima toʻomataʻu, mo e taha ki hono toʻohema.
38Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right hand and the other on His left.
39¶ Pea naʻe manukiʻi ia ʻekinautolu naʻe feʻaluʻaki ai, mo kalokalo honau ʻulu,
39And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads
40ʻonau pehē, “ʻA koe ʻoku ke fakaʻauha ʻae falelotu lahi, mo toe langa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, fakamoʻui koe. Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻalu hifo mei he ʻakau.”
40and 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!”
41Pea manukiʻi foki ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, mo e mātuʻa, ʻonau pehē,
41In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,
42“Naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻae niʻihi; ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fakamoʻui ia. Kapau ko e Tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku lelei ke ʻalu hifo ia mei he ʻakau, pea te tau tui kiate ia.
42“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.
43Naʻe falala ia ki he ʻOtua; ʻoku lelei ke ne fakamoʻui ni ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ne ʻofa kiate ia: he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e ʻAlo au ʻoe ʻOtua.’”
43He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44Pea ko e ongo kaihaʻa, naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau mo ia, naʻe pehē foki ʻena manukiʻi ia.
44In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.
45Pea naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae fonua kotoa, mei hono ono ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻo aʻu ki hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
45From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.
46Pea hokosia hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻIlai, ʻIlai, lama sapakatani?” Ko hono ʻuhinga, “Ko hoku ʻOtua, ko hoku ʻOtua, ko e hā kuo ke liʻaki ai au?”
46About 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?”
47Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae niʻihi naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku ui ʻae tangata ni kia ʻIlaisiā.”
47When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”
48Pea lele leva honau tokotaha, ke toʻo mai ʻae oma, ʻo fakapito ia ʻi he vai mahi, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he vaʻa kaho, pea ʻohake ke ne inu.
48One 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.
49Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Tuku ai pe, ka tau vakai pe haʻu ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke fakamoʻui ia.”
49But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”
50¶ Pea kuo hili ʻae toe tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne tuku hake hono laumālie.
50When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.
51Pea vakai, kuo mavaeua leva ʻae puipui ʻoe falelotu lahi, mei he potu ʻi ʻolunga ʻo aʻu ki lalo; pea ngalulu ʻae fonua, pea mafahifahi ʻae ngaahi maka;
51At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52Pea matoʻo ʻae ngaahi tanuʻanga; pea tuʻu hake ʻae sino ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni niʻihi naʻe mohe,
52The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
53ʻO nau haʻu mei honau ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻi he hili ʻene toetuʻu, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo tapu, ʻo fakahā ʻakinautolu ki he tokolahi.
53After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.
54Pea kuo mamata ʻae ʻeikitau, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, ke leʻohi ʻa Sisu, ki he mofuike, mo e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fai, naʻa nau ilifia lahi, ʻonau pehē, “tā ko e moʻoni ko e ʻalo ʻeni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
54When 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.”
55Pea naʻe ai ʻae kau fefine tokolahi, naʻe tutuʻu mei he mamaʻo ʻo vakai, naʻa nau muimui ʻia Sisu mei Kaleli, ʻonau tauhi ia:
55And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.
56Ko honau niʻihi ko Mele Makitaline, mo Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Semisi mo Sose, mo e faʻē ʻae fānau ʻa Sepeti.
56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
57Pea hokosia ʻae efiafi, pea haʻu ʻae tangata koloaʻia mei ʻAlematea, ko Siosefa hono hingoa, ko e ākonga foki ia ʻa Sisu:
57When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.
58Pea naʻe ʻalu ia kia Pailato ʻo ne kole ʻae sino ʻo Sisu. Pea toki fekau ai ʻe Pailato ke ʻoatu ʻae sino.
58He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.
59Pea kuo maʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻae sino, naʻa ne fakakoloa ʻaki ia ʻae tupenu mahuʻinga mo maʻa,
59So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60ʻO ne fakatokoto ia ʻi hono fonualoto foʻou, ʻaia naʻa ne tā ʻi he loto maka: pea filifilihi ʻe ia ʻae maka lahi ki he matapā ʻoe fonualoto, pea toki ʻalu ia.
60and 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.
61Pea naʻe nonofo ai, ʻo hangatonu mai ki he fonualoto, ʻa Mele Makitaline, pea mo e Mele ʻe taha.
61Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
62¶ Pea ʻi he pongipongi, ʻaia naʻe feholoi mo e ʻaho teuteu, naʻe haʻu fakataha kia Pailato ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi,
62The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.
63ʻonau pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau manatu naʻe lea ʻae kākā na ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ‘Ka hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu te u toetuʻu hake.’
63“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64Ko ia ke ke fekau ke leʻohi maʻu ʻae fonualoto, ʻo hoko ki hono ʻaho tolu, telia naʻa haʻu ʻene kau ākonga ʻi he pō, ʻo kaihaʻasi ia, pea nau tala ki he kakai, ‘Kuo toetuʻu ia mei he mate: pea ʻe kovi lahi ai ʻae kākā ki mui ni ʻi he ʻuluaki.’
64So 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.”
65Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ai hoʻomou kau leʻo: mou ō, ʻo faʻiteliha ki hono ngaohi ke maʻu.”
65“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”
66Pea naʻa nau ʻalu, ʻo ngaohi ke maʻu ʻae fonualoto, ʻo pulusi ʻae maka, pea fakanofo ʻae leʻo.
66So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
