Og de førte ham til Pilatus.

And they all went and took him before Pilate.

De fremsatte anklager mot ham og sa: Denne mannen har forbudt befolkningen vår å betale skatt til keiseren, og sagt at han selv er Kristus, en konge.

And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

Pilatus spurte ham: Er du jødenes konge? Og han svarte: Du sier det.

And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.

Pilatus sa til overprestene og folket: Jeg finner ingen skyld hos denne mannen.

And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.

Men de ble enda mer pågående og sa: Han oppildner folket, og har undervist over hele Judea, fra Galilea til hit.

But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

Da Pilatus hørte dette, spurte han om mannen var galileer.

But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?

Da han forsto at han tilhørte Herods myndighetsområde, sendte han ham til Herodes, som også var i Jerusalem på den tiden.

And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.

Da Herodes så Jesus, ble han svært glad, for han hadde lenge ønsket å se ham, fordi han hadde hørt om ham og håpet å se et mirakel fra ham.

Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.

Han stilte mange spørsmål til ham, men Jesus svarte ikke.

And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.

Overprestene og de skriftlærde sto der og anklaget ham heftig.

And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.

Herodes med sine soldater foraktet ham, spottet ham, kledde ham i en skinnende kappe og sendte ham tilbake til Pilatus.

And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

Den dagen ble Herodes og Pilatus venner; tidligere hadde de vært fiender.

And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.

Pilatus innkalte overprestene, lederne og folket

And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,

og sa: Dere har ført denne mannen til meg som en som villeder folket; men jeg har undersøkt ham foran dere og ikke funnet ham skyldig i noe av det dere anklager ham for.

You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:

Heller ikke Herodes har funnet noe, for han har sendt ham tilbake til oss. Han har ikke gjort noe som fortjener dødsstraff.

And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

Så jeg vil straffe ham og deretter løslate ham.

And so I will give him punishment and let him go.

Men de ropte alle sammen: Bort med denne mannen, og sett Barabbas fri for oss!

But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.

Han satt i fengsel på grunn av et opprør i byen og drap.

Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.

Pilatus ønsket å løslate Jesus og snakket til dem igjen.

And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

Men de ropte: Korsfest ham!

But crying out they said, To the cross with him!

Han sa til dem for tredje gang: Hva ondt har han gjort? Jeg har ikke funnet noen grunn til å dømme ham til døden. Jeg vil straffe ham og deretter løslate ham.

And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.

Men de fortsatte å rope høylytt og krevde at han skulle korsfestes, og deres rop vant frem.

But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

Så Pilatus dømte etter deres krav.

And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.

Han satte fri den mannen de ba om, som satt i fengsel på grunn av opprør og drap, og overleverte Jesus til deres vilje.

And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.

Mens de førte ham bort, grep de Simon fra Kyrene, som kom inn fra landet, og lot ham bære korset etter Jesus.

And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.

En stor mengde folk fulgte etter, blant dem kvinner som slo seg for brystet og klaget over ham.

And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.

Jesus vendte seg mot dem og sa: Jerusalems døtre, gråt ikke over meg, men gråt over dere selv og barna deres.

But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

For dager kommer da man vil si: Lykkelige er de ufruktbare, de som aldri har født barn og aldri gitt bryst.

For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.

Da vil de si til fjellene: Fall over oss, og til høydene: Skjul oss.

And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

For hvis de gjør dette mot det grønne treet, hva vil skje med det tørre?

For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?

To andre, forbrytere, ble også ført for å bli henrettet med ham.

And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.

Da de kom til stedet som kalles Golgata, korsfestet de ham der sammen med forbryterne, en på høyre side og en på venstre.

And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.

Og Jesus sa: Far, tilgi dem, for de vet ikke hva de gjør. De delte klærne hans ved å kaste lodd.

And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

Folket sto og så på, mens lederne hånte ham og sa: Han frelste andre, la ham nå frelse seg selv, hvis han er Guds utvalgte Kristus.

And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.

Soldatene hånte ham også, kom opp til ham og tilbød ham sur vin,

And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,

og sa: Hvis du er jødenes konge, frels deg selv.

And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.

Over ham var det en innskrift som sa: Dette er jødenes konge.

And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

En av forbryterne som hang der, spottet ham og sa: Er ikke du Kristus? Frels deg selv, og oss med!

And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.

Men den andre tilretteviste ham og sa: Frykter du ikke Gud, siden du er under den samme dommen?

But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,

Vi får det vi fortjener for det vi har gjort, men denne mannen har ikke gjort noe galt.

And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.

Og han sa: Jesus, husk meg når du kommer i ditt rike.

And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

Og Jesus svarte: Sannelig, jeg sier deg, i dag skal du være med meg i Paradis.

And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

Det var nå omkring den sjette time, og det ble mørke over hele landet frem til den niende time.

And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;

Solens lys svant, og forhenget i tempelet revnet midt på.

The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.

Jesus ropte med høy røst: Far, i dine hender overgir jeg min ånd. Da han hadde sagt dette, utåndet han.

And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.

Da høvedsmannen så hva som skjedde, priste han Gud og sa: Sannelig, dette var en rettferdig mann.

And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.

Alle som hadde samlet seg for å se på, slo seg for brystet i sorg da de så det som hadde skjedd, og vendte tilbake.

And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.

Alle hans venner og kvinnene som hadde fulgt ham fra Galilea, sto langt unna og så dette.

And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.

Det var en mann ved navn Josef, en god og rettferdig rådsherre,

Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man

som ikke hadde samtykket i deres beslutning og handling. Han kom fra Arimatea, en by i Judea, og ventet på Guds rike.

(He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:

Han gikk til Pilatus og ba om å få Jesu kropp.

This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.

Han tok den ned, svøpte den i et linklede og la den i en grav som var hugget ut i fjellet, hvor ingen hadde vært lagt.

And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.

Det var forberedelsesdagen, og sabbaten nærmet seg.

Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.

Kvinnene som hadde fulgt ham fra Galilea, fulgte etter og så graven og hvordan hans kropp ble lagt der.

And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;

Så vendte de tilbake og forberedte krydder og salver. På sabbaten hvilte de i henhold til budet.

And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.
