1At tha scraich o day, aa tha heid preeshts an tha eldèrs o tha fowk collogued thegither as tae hoo the' wud pit Jesus tae deith. 2Sae the' tyed hïm up, the' maircht hïm aff an the' hannit hïm ower tae Pilate, tha Guviner.
3Noo Judas, that haed bethrayed hïm, whaniver he saa that Jesus wus condemned, he sairlie rued whut he'd daen, an he gien tha thurtie siller coins bak tae tha heid preeshts an tha eldèrs. 4“A hae daen wrang,” saed he, “fer A hae bethrayed tha bluid o an innocent man.” “Whut's that tae us?” the' saed. “On yer ain heid be ït!” 5Sae Judas throwed tha siller doon ïn tha Hoose o God. Then he gan oot o tha Temple, an he went an hung hissel. 6Tha heid preeshts gethert up tha coins an saed, “It ïs agin tha Laa tae pit thïs ïntae tha Temple kïst, seein as ït's tha price o bluid.” 7Sae the' agreed amang thairsels tae uise tha siller fer tae buy tha potter's fiel, as a buryin grun fer strangers. 8An that's tha raison tae thïs verie day ït's caad “Tha Fiel o Bluid”. 9In thïs wye tha wurd spauk bi Jeremiah tha proaphit cum aboot: “The' tuk tha thurtie siller coins, tha amoont pit on hïs heid bi Israel, 10an the' uised thaim tae buy tha potter's fiel, jist as tha Loard commaundit.”
Jesus up afore Pilate
11While aa thïs wus gaun on, Jesus stud afore tha Guviner, an tha Guviner axt hïm, “Ir you tha Kïng o tha Jews?” Jesus answert, “You hae saed ït.” 12But whaniver he wus accused bi tha heid preeshts an tha eldèrs, he gien nae answer ava. 13Then Pilate axt hïm, “Dae ye no hear whut the'r chairgin ye wi?” 14But Jesus niver saed a wurd bak tae hïm regairdin onie o tha chairges agin hïm, an tha Guviner wus stoondit.
15Noo ït uist tae be at tha Passower Faist, tha Guviner wud aye let a prisner oot o jail: whutiver yin tha fowk axt fer. 16An that year the' haed a prisner iveriebodie haed heerd tell o, bi tha name o Barabbas. 17Sae whaniver tha crood haed gethert thegither, Pilate axt thaim, “Whutch yin dae yis want me tae let oot tae ye: Barabbas, or Jesus, that ïs caad Christ?” 18Fer he knowed richt weel ït wus jist oot o spite the' haed hannit Jesus ower tae hïm. 19Noo as Pilate wus sïttin on tha judge's sait, hïs wife sent hïm thïs message: “Hae naethin tae dae wi thon innocent man, fer A'm tellin ye, A'm sair tormentit thïs day bi a draim A haed aboot hïm!” 20But tha heid preeshts an tha eldèrs taakt tha crood roon, sae as the' wud ax fer Barabbas an hae Jesus püt tae deith. 21“Whutch o tha twa dae yis want me tae let oot tae yis then?” axt tha Guviner. “We want Barabbas!” the' answert. 22“Sae whut am A tae dae wi Jesus that's caad tha Christ?” Pilate axt. An the' aa saed bak, “Tae tha cross wi hïm!” 23“But whut fer? Whut's he daen wrang?” axt Pilate. But tha thrang jist roared aa tha mair, “Tae tha cross wi hïm!”
24Whaniver Pilate saen that he wus gettin naewhar, but that he wus aboot tae hae a riot on hïs hans, he got some wattèr an waasht hïs hans afore tha crood o fowk. “A'm no guiltie o thïs man's bluid,” saed he. “On your heids be ït!” 25Aa tha fowk saed, “Let hïs bluid be on us an on oor childèr!” 26Then he lut Barabbas oot tae thaim. But he got Jesus whuppt, an he hannit hïm ower fer tae be crucyfied.
Tha sodgers mock Jesus
27Then tha Guviner's sodgers tuk Jesus ïntae tha Praetorium#27.27 tha Guviner's Bïg Hoose an the' gethert tha hale regiment roon hïm. 28The' strïpt hïm an püt a scarlet robe on hïm, 29an then the' plettit thoarns thegither tae mak a croon, an the' set ït on hïs heid. The' püt a stav ïn hïs richt han an the' got doon on thair knees afore hïm, mockin hïm an sayin, “Lang leeve tha Kïng o tha Jews!” 30The' sput on hïm, an the' tuk tha stav an hut hïm ower tha heid agane an agane. 31An eftèr the' haed daen mockin hïm, the' tuk tha robe aff hïm, an the' püt hïs ain claes bak on hïm.

32An whaniver the' wur on thair wye oot, the' run ïntae a man frae Cyrene, bi tha name o Simon, an the' gart hïm tae cairrie tha cross. 33The' cum tae a place caad Golgotha (mainin “Tha Place o tha Skull”). 34Thair the' raxt wine up tae Jesus, mixt wi gall; but eftèr tastin ït, he wudnae drïnk onie mair. 35Noo whaniver tha sodgers haed nailt hïm tae tha cross, the' gemmelt amang thairsels tae dïvide hïs claes. [Thïs brocht aboot whut tha proaphit saed wud happen:

Is he no tha Kïng o Israel? Then jist let hïm cum doon aff tha cross, an we'll believe ïn hïm! 43He trusts ïn God. Let God rescue hïm noo ïf he wants hïm, fer he saed, ‘A be tha Sinn o God.’ ” 44Tha robbers that wur crucyfied wi hïm hurlt abuse at hïm as weel.

51At that verie mïnit tha curtin ïn tha Halie o Halies wus tore ïn twa frae tap tae bottom.
