1So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
1Ko ia naʻe toki tuku ʻe Pailato ʻa Sisu, ke kauʻimaea.
2The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
2Pea naʻe fī ʻe he kau tau ʻae tatā ʻakau talatala, ke ʻai ki hono fofonga, ʻonau ʻai kiate ia ʻae pulupulu kulokula.
3They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
3ʻO nau lau, “Siʻotoʻofa tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu!” Pea nau haha ia ʻaki honau nima.
4Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
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.”
5Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
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!”
6When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”
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.
7The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
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.”
8When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
8¶ Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pailato ki he lea ko ia, pea ʻāsili ai ʻene manavahē;
9He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
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.
10Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”
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?”
11Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”
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.”
12At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”
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.”
13When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
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.”
14Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
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!”
15They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
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.”
16So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
16Ko ia naʻa ne toki tukuange ai ia kiate kinautolu ke tutuki ki he ʻakau. Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa Sisu ʻo taki atu.
17He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
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:”
18where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
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.
19Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
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.
20Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
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.
21The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”
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.’”
22Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
22Pea talaange ʻe Pailato, “Ko ia kuo u tohi, kuo u tohi.”
23Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
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.
24Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
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.”
25But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
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.
26Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
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!”
27Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
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.
28After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
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.”
29Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
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.
30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
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.
31Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
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.
32Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
32Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tau, ʻo fesiʻi ʻae vaʻe ʻoe ʻuluaki, mo e tokotaha naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau mo ia.
33but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
33Ka ʻi heʻenau hoko kia Sisu, ʻo vakai kuo mate ia, naʻe ʻikai te nau fesiʻi hono vaʻe.
34However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
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.
35He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
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.
36For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
36He naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ke fakamoʻoni ai ʻae tohi, “ʻE ʻikai fesiʻi ha hui ʻe taha ʻoʻona.”
37Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
37Pea ʻoku pehē mo e tohi ʻe taha, “Te nau sio kiate ia kuo nau hokaʻi.”
38After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
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.
39Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
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 .
40So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
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.
41Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
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.
42Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
42Pea naʻa nau tuku ki ai ʻa Sisu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho teuteu ʻoe kakai Siu: he naʻe ofi ʻae fonualoto.
