Da det ble morgen, rådførte alle overprestene og folkets eldste seg om Jesus for å få ham dømt til døden.

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

De bandt ham, førte ham bort og overga ham til guvernøren Pontius Pilatus.

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

Da Judas, som hadde forrådt ham, så at Jesus var dømt, angret han og brakte de tretti sølvstykkene tilbake til overprestene og de eldste.

Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

Han sa: "Jeg har syndet ved å forråde uskyldig blod." Men de svarte: "Hva angår det oss? Det får du ordne opp i."

saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."

Da kastet han sølvstykkene inn i templet, gikk bort og hengte seg.

He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.

Overprestene tok sølvstykkene og sa: "Det er ikke lov å legge dem i tempelkassen, for det er blodpenger."

The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."

De rådførte seg, og kjøpte pottemakerens åker for å begrave utlendinger der.

They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in.

Derfor ble den åkeren kalt Blodåkeren til denne dag.

Therefore that field was called "The Field of Blood" to this day.

Da ble det oppfylt som er talt ved profeten Jeremia: "De tok de tretti sølvstykkene, den verdien mannen ble verdsatt til, av noen av Israels barn,

Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, The price of him upon whom a price had been set, Whom some of the children of Israel priced,

og ga dem for pottemakerens åker, slik Herren hadde befalt meg."

And they gave them for the potter's field, As the Lord commanded me."

Jesus stod nå foran guvernøren, og han spurte ham: "Er du jødenes konge?" Jesus svarte: "Du sier det."

Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "So you say."

Men da overprestene og de eldste anklaget ham, svarte han ingenting.

When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

Da sa Pilatus til ham: "Hører du ikke hvor mye de vitner mot deg?"

Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear how many things they testify against you?"

Men han svarte ham ikke på et eneste ord, så guvernøren undret seg stort.

He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

Ved høytiden pleide guvernøren å løslate en fange som folkemengden ønsket.

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

De hadde da en beryktet fange som het Barabbas.

They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

Da de var samlet, spurte Pilatus dem: "Hvem vil dere at jeg skal løslate for dere? Barabbas, eller Jesus som kalles Kristus?"

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?"

For han visste at de hadde utlevert ham av misunnelse.

For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

Mens han satt på dommersetet, sendte hans kone beskjed til ham: "Ha ikke noe med den rettferdige mannen å gjøre, for jeg har lidd mye i natt på grunn av ham i en drøm."

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."

Men overprestene og de eldste overtalte folkemengden til å be om Barabbas og få Jesus ødelagt.

Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

Guvernøren svarte dem: "Hvem av de to vil dere at jeg skal løslate for dere?" De sa: "Barabbas!"

But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!"

Pilatus spurte: "Hva skal jeg da gjøre med Jesus som kalles Kristus?" De sa alle: "La ham bli korsfestet!"

Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let him be crucified!"

Guvernøren svarte: "Hvorfor? Hva ondt har han gjort?" Men de ropte enda høyere: "La ham bli korsfestet!"

But the governor said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him be crucified!"

Da Pilatus så at ingenting hjalp, men at det heller oppstod en oppstandelse, tok han vann, vasket hendene foran folkemengden og sa: "Jeg er uskyldig i denne rettferdige mannens blod. Dette får dere ansvar for."

So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it."

All folket svarte: "Måtte hans blod komme over oss og våre barn!"

All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children!"

Da løslot han Barabbas for dem, men Jesus lot han bli hudstrøket og overga ham til å bli korsfestet.

Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

Guvernørens soldater tok Jesus med inn i pretoriet, og samlet hele vaktstyrken mot ham.

Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

De kledde av ham, og la en skarlagensrød kappe på ham.

They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

De flettet en krone av torner og satte den på hodet hans, og ga ham en stav i høyre hånd; og de knelte foran ham, spottet ham og sa: "Vær hilset, jødenes konge!"

They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

De spyttet på ham, tok staven og slo ham i hodet.

They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

Da de var ferdige med å spotte ham, tok de kappen av ham, kledde ham i hans egne klær og førte ham ut for å korsfeste ham.

When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Da de gikk ut, fant de en mann fra Kyrene ved navn Simon, og tvang ham til å bære hans kors.

As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

De kom til et sted som kalles Golgata, det vil si Hodeskallestedet.

They came to a place called "Golgotha," that is to say, "The place of a skull."

Der ga de ham vin blandet med galle å drikke. Men da han smakte det, ville han ikke drikke.

They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

Da de hadde korsfestet ham, delte de klærne hans mellom seg ved å kaste lodd.

When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,{TR adds "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;'" [see Psalm 22:18 and John 19:24]}

Deretter satte de seg ned og holdt vakt over ham.

and they sat and watched him there.

Og over hodet hans satte de opp anklagen mot ham skrevet: "Dette er Jesus, jødenes konge."

They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Sammen med ham ble to røvere korsfestet, en på høyre side og en på venstre.

Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

De som gikk forbi, spottet ham og ristet på hodet,

Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

og sa: "Du som river ned templet og bygger det opp igjen på tre dager, frels deg selv! Hvis du er Guds Sønn, så stig ned fra korset!"

and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

På samme måte spottet også overprestene med de skriftlærde og de eldste ham og sa:

Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees,{TR omits "the Pharisees"} and the elders, said,

"Han frelste andre, men kan ikke frelse seg selv. Hvis han er Israels konge, la ham nå stige ned fra korset, så skal vi tro på ham.

"He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

Han stoler på Gud, la Gud nå redde ham hvis han vil ha ham; for han sa: 'Jeg er Guds Sønn.'"

He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

Røverne som var korsfestet med ham, hånte ham også.

The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

Fra den sjette time var det mørke over hele landet til den niende time.

Now from the sixth hour{noon} there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.{3:00 P. M.}

Omkring den niende time ropte Jesus med høy røst: "Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani?" Det betyr: "Min Gud, min Gud, hvorfor har du forlatt meg?"

About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lima{TR reads "lama" instead of "lima"} sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Noen av dem som sto der, sa da de hørte det: "Han roper på Elia."

Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."

Straks løp en av dem bort, fylte en svamp med eddik, satte den på en stang og ga ham å drikke.

Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

De andre sa: "La ham være. La oss se om Elia kommer og redder ham."

The rest said, "Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to save him."

Men Jesus ropte igjen med høy røst og oppga sin ånd.

Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

Se, da revnet forhenget i templet i to fra øverst til nederst. Jorden skalv, og fjellrevner åpnet seg.

Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

Gravene ble åpnet, og mange av de avdøde hellige sto opp.

The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

Etter hans oppstandelse gikk de ut av gravene, kom inn i den hellige by og viste seg for mange.

and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

Da offiseren og de som holdt vakt over Jesus sammen med ham, så jordskjelvet og alt som skjedde, ble de svært redde og sa: "Sannelig, dette var Guds Sønn."

Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."

Det var mange kvinner som så på fra avstand, de hadde fulgt Jesus fra Galilea og tjent ham.

Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

Blant dem var Maria Magdalena, Maria, Jakobs og Joses' mor, og Sebedeus-sønnenes mor.

Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Da det ble kveld, kom en rik mann fra Arimatea ved navn Josef, som også var en disippel av Jesus.

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus' disciple came.

Han gikk til Pilatus og ba om Jesu kropp. Da befalte Pilatus at kroppen skulle bli utlevert.

This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

Josef tok kroppen, svøpte den i et rent linklede,

Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

og la den i sin nye grav, som han hadde hugget ut i klippen. Han rullet en stor stein foran inngangen til graven og gikk bort.

and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

Maria Magdalena og den andre Maria var der, og satt rett overfor graven.

Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

Neste dag, dagen etter forberedelsesdagen, samlet overprestene og fariseerne seg hos Pilatus.

Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

De sa: "Herre, vi husker at bedrageren sa mens han ennå var i live: 'Etter tre dager skal jeg oppstå.'

saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'

Så befal derfor at graven blir bevoktet til den tredje dag, for at ikke disiplene hans skal komme om natten og stjele ham og si til folket: 'Han er oppstått fra de døde.' Da vil det siste bedraget bli verre enn det første."

Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

Pilatus sa til dem: "Dere har en vaktstyrke. Gå av sted, gjør det så sikkert som dere kan."

Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."

De gikk av sted, sikret graven med vaktene, og satte et segl på steinen.

So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
