19
1 Kātahi, ka mau a Pirato ki a Īhu, ka whiu i a ia. 2 Ā, ka whiria e ngā hōia he karauna tātarāmoa, pōtaea ana ki tōna mātenga, whakakākahuria ana hoki ia ki te kahu pāpura. 3 Nā, ka mea rātou, “Tēnā koe, e te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai!” Ā, pākia ana ia ki ō rātou ringa.
4 Ka haere anō a Pirato, ka mea ki a rātou, “Nā tēnei te ārahina atu nei ia e ahau ki a koutou, kia mōhio ai koutou, kāhore rawa i mau i ahau tētahi hē ōna.” 5 Nā, ka puta a Īhu ki waho, me te karauna tātarāmoa i runga i a ia, me te kākahu pāpura. Ka mea a Pirato ki a rātou, “Nā, te tangata nei!”
6 Ā, nō te kitenga o ngā tohunga nui rātou ko ngā kātipa i a ia, ka karanga rātou, ka mea, “Rīpekatia, rīpekatia.”
Ka kī a Pirato ki a rātou, “Tangohia atu ia e koutou, rīpekatia; kāhore hoki i mau i ahau tētahi hē ōna.”
7 Ka whakahokia e ngā Hūrai ki a ia, “He ture tō mātou, ā, ki tō mātou ture he mea tika kia mate ia, mōna i mea ko te Tama ia a te Atua.”
8 Nō te rongonga o Pirato i tēnei kī, nui rawa tōna wehi; 9 ka tomo anō ia ki te whare whakawā, ka mea ki a Īhu, “Nō hea koe?”
Heoi, kāhore a Īhu kupu whakahoki ki a ia. 10 Nā, ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, “E kore koe e kōrero ki ahau? Kāhore koe e mōhio kei ahau te tikanga mō te rīpeka i a koe, kei ahau anō te tikanga mō te tuku i a koe kia haere?”
11 Ka whakahokia e Īhu, “Kāhore āu tikanga ki ahau, me kāhore i hōmai ki a koe i runga. Koia i nui rawa ai te hara o te kaituku i ahau ki a koe.”
12 Nā, i reira anō ka whai a Pirato kia tukua ia kia haere; otiia, ka karanga ngā Hūrai, ka mea, “Ki te tukua tēnei e koe, ehara koe i te hoa nō Hīhā. Ki te whakakīngi tētahi tangata i a ia, he whakakāhore tāna i a Hīhā.”
13 Ā, nō ka rongo a Pirato i tēnei kōrero, ka ārahina e ia a Īhu ki waho, ā, noho ana ki runga ki te nohoanga whakawā, ki te wāhi e kīia nei ko te Whāriki Kōhatu, ki te reo Hiperu, ko Kapata. 14 Ko te takanga ia o te Kapenga, i tata pū ki te ono o ngā hāora.
Ka mea ia ki ngā Hūrai, “Nā, tō koutou Kīngi!”
15 Nā, ko tā rātou karangatanga, “Whakamatea, whakamatea, rīpekatia!”
Ka mea a Pirato ki a rātou, “Kia rīpeka koia ahau i tō koutou Kīngi?”
Ka whakahokia e ngā tohunga nui, “Kāhore ō mātou kīngi, ko Hīhā anake.”
16 Nō reira, ka hoatu ia e ia ki a rātou kia rīpekatia.
Ka Rīpekatia a Īhu
(Matiu 27.32-44; Māka 15.21-32; Ruka 23.26-43)
Ā, ka mau rātou ki a Īhu. 17 Ā, amo ana ia i tōna rīpeka, haere ana ki te wāhi e kīia nei ko te wāhi o te angaanga, tōna ingoa ki te reo Hiperu, ko “Korokota.” 18 Nā, rīpekatia ana ia e rātou ki reira, ā, ia me ētahi atu tokorua, kotahi ki tētahi taha, kotahi ki tētahi taha, ko Īhu ki waenganui.
19 Nā, tuhituhia ana e Pirato tētahi ingoa, whakapiritia ana ki te rīpeka. Ko te tuhituhi tēnei, “Ko Īhu o Nahareta ko te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai.” 20 Ā, he tokomaha ngā Hūrai i kite i tēnei ingoa; i tata hoki ki te pā te wāhi i rīpekatia ai a Īhu; ā, i tuhituhia taua mea ki te reo Hiperu, ki te reo Kariki, ki te reo Rōma. 21 Nā, ka mea ngā tohunga nui o ngā Hūrai ki a Pirato, “Aua e tuhituhia, ‘Ko te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai,’ engari, ‘Nāna i mea, Ko te Kīngi ahau o ngā Hūrai.’ ”
22 Ka whakahokia e Pirato, “Ko tāku i tuhituhi ai kua tuhituhia.”
23 Ā, ka oti a Īhu te rīpeka e ngā hōia, ka mau rātou ki ōna kākahu, wehea ake kia whā ngā wāhi, ki ia hōia he wāhi; me te koti anō. Nā, kāhore he tui o te koti, he mea whatu iho i runga ā puta noa.
24 Nā, ka mea rātou tētahi ki tētahi, “Kaua e haea e tātou, engari, me maka ki te rota kia kitea ai, mō wai rānei.” Nā, ka rite te karaipiture e mea nei:
“I wehewehea ōku kākahu mō rātou,
i maka rota hoki mō tōku weruweru.”
Ko tā ngā hōia tēnei i mea ai.
25 Nā, i te taha o te rīpeka o Īhu tōna whaea e tū ana, rātou ko te teina o tōna whaea, ko Meri wahine a Kereopa, ko Meri Makarini. 26 Ā, nō te kitenga o Īhu i tōna whaea, i te ākonga hoki i aroha ai ia e tū tahi ana, ka mea ia ki tōna whaea, “E tai, nanā, tāu tama!” 27 Kātahi, ia ka mea ki taua ākonga, “Nā, tōu whaea!” Ā, nō taua hāora ka mau taua ākonga i a ia ki tōna whare.
Te Matenga o Īhu
(Matiu 27.45-56; Māka 15.33-41; Ruka 23.44-49)
28 Muri iho i tēnei ka mōhio a Īhu ka oti ngā mea katoa, nā, ka mea ia, hei whakaritenga mō te karaipiture, “He matewai tōku.”
29 Nā, tērā e tū rā tētahi oko, kī tonu i te winika; ā, ka whakakīia e rātou tētahi hautai ki te winika, whakanohoia ana ki runga ki te hihopa, hoatu ana ki tōna māngai. 30 Ā, nō te inumanga o Īhu i te winika, ka mea ia, “Kua oti.”
Nā, ka tuohu tōna mātenga, tukua ana tōna wairua.
Ka Werohia te Kaokao o Īhu
31 Nā, i mea ngā Hūrai kia kaua e mau ngā tinana ki te rīpeka i te hāpati, ko te Takanga hoki tērā, he rā nui hoki taua hāpati, ka mea rātou ki a Pirato kia whatia ō rātou waewae, kia tangohia atu hoki. 32 Nā, ka haere ngā hōia, ka whawhati i ngā waewae o tō mua, me o tērā i rīpekatia ngātahitia me ia. 33 I tō rātou taenga ia ki a Īhu, ka kite kua mate noa ake ia, kīhai i whatia e rātou ōna waewae. 34 Engari, i werohia tōna kaokao e tētahi o ngā hōia ki te mātia, ā, puta tonu he toto, he wai. 35 Ā, ko te tangata i kite, ko ia anō te kaiwhakaatu, ā, he pono tāna whakaatu; e mōhio ana ia he kōrero pono tāna, he mea rā kia whakapono ai koutou. 36 I meatia hoki ēnei mea, kia rite ai te karaipiture, “E kore tētahi iwi ōna e whatia.” 37 E mea ana anō tētahi atu karaipiture, “Ka titiro rātou ki tā rātou i wero ai.”
Te Tanumanga o Īhu
(Matiu 27.57-61; Māka 15.42-47; Ruka 23.50-56)
38 Muri iho i ēnei mea, ka īnoi a Hōhepa o Arimatia ki a Pirato kia tangohia e ia te tinana o Īhu. (He ākonga ia nā Īhu, otiia, he mea huna i te wehi ki ngā Hūrai.) Ā, whakaae ana a Pirato. Nō, ka haere ia, ka tango i te tinana o Īhu. 39 I haere mai anō a Nikorima, tērā i haere rā i mua ki a Īhu i te pō, me te mau mai anō i te maira, i te aroe, he mea whakananu, kia kotahi pea rau pāuna. 40 Nā, ka tango rāua i te tinana o Īhu, takaia ana ki ngā kākahu rīnena me ngā mea kakara, ko tā ngā Hūrai ritenga hoki tērā mō te tanu. 41 Nā, he kāri kei te wāhi i rīpekatia ai ia; i roto anō i taua kāri tētahi urupā hou, he mea kāhore anō i takotoria noatia e tētahi. 42 Nā, ka whakatakotoria a Īhu e rāua ki reira, nō te mea he rā Takanga tērā nō ngā Hūrai; he tata hoki te urupā.
