1Pea pongipongi hake ai, naʻe fakakaukau leva ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, fakataha mo e mātuʻa mo e kau tangata tohi mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē, pea naʻe haʻi ʻa Sisu, ʻo ʻave, mo tukuange kia Pailato.
1Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
2Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate ia, “Ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu?” Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko ia pe.”
2Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”
3Pea talatalaakiʻi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lahi.
3The chief priests accused him of many things.
4Pea toe fehuʻi ʻe Pailato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke lea ki ha meʻa? Vakai ki hono lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau fakamoʻoni kiate koe.”
4Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”
5Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ʻa Sisu ki ha meʻa; pea ofo ai ʻa Pailato.
5But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
6Pea ko e kātoanga ko ia naʻa ne tukuange ai kiate kinautolu ha pōpula ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia te nau loto ki ai.
6Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him.
7Pea naʻe ai ʻa e tokotaha ko Palāpasa hono hingoa, kuo haʻi fakataha mo kinautolu naʻa nau kau mo ia ʻi he angatuʻu, mo nau fai ʻae fakapō ʻi he angatuʻu.
7There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
8Pea ʻioho leʻo lahi ʻae kakai, ʻonau kamata tala ke ne fai ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ne faʻa fai kiate kinautolu.
8The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
9Ka naʻe lea ʻa Pailato, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko homou loto ke tukuange kiate kimoutolu ʻae Tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu?”
9Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10He naʻa ne ʻilo ko e meʻa ʻi he meheka kuo tukuange ai ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi.
10For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
11Ka naʻe ueʻi ʻae kakai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ke ne tuku mai ʻa Palāpasa pe kiate kinautolu.
11But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
12Pea toe lea ʻa Pailato, ʻo ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ka ko e hā homou loto ke u fai kiate ia ʻaia ʻoku mou ui ko e Tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu?”
12Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13Pea naʻa nau toe kalanga, “Tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.”
13They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
14Pea toki pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Koeʻumaʻā, ko e hā ʻae kovi kuo ne fai?” Pea naʻa nau ʻāsili kalanga ai ʻaupito, “Tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.”
14Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
15¶ Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fie fakafiemālie ʻe Pailato ki he kakai, naʻa ne tukuange ʻa Palāpasa kiate kinautolu, pea hili ʻene kauʻimaea ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne tukuange ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.
15Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
16Pea naʻe tataki ia ʻe he kau tau ki he potu fale naʻe ui ko e fale fakaʻeiki, ʻonau fakataha ʻae kautau kotoa.
16The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
17Pea naʻa nau fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kulokula, ʻo lalanga ʻae tatā ʻaki ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo ʻai kiate ia.
17They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
18Mo nau kamata fetapa kiate ia, “Siʻotoʻofa, Tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu!”
18They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19Pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae vaʻa kaho ʻi hono mata, ʻo ʻaʻanu kiate ia, pea tūʻulutui mo hū kiate ia.
19They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
20Pea kuo nau manukiʻi ia, pea nau toʻo ʻiate ia ʻae kulokula, kae ʻai kiate ia hono kofu ʻoʻona, ʻo tataki atu ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.
20When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
21Pea naʻa nau pule ke fua hono ʻakau ʻe he tokotaha ko Saimone ko e Sailini, ko e tamai ʻa ʻAlekisānita mo Lufusi, ʻi heʻene ʻalu ange ai, ko ʻene haʻu mei he tukuʻuta.

35Pea ko honau niʻihi naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai , ʻi heʻenau fanongo, naʻa nau pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ne ui kia ʻIlaisiā.”

44Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.
