Here’s the basic text of chapter 172, translated. It doesn’t contain page descriptions but it should be fairly easy to follow.
Bleach ch172 (DOES NOT INCLUDE THE "BONUS" STORY) Translations by James "Iyouboushi" (Iyouboushi(at)gmail.com)
Note about my translations:
I'm a beginner. Some of my translations may not be very accurate.
In any case, I have done my best. I highly recommend checking out
Manga7's release of this chapter when it has come out.

Chad:
今の声は四番隊って言ってた
Just now a voice said the 4th group...
井上は四番隊と直接接触してないから霊圧を捕捉できなかったんだろう･･･
Inoue has not had direct contact with the 4th group so they could not
find her reiatsu.
Ichigo:
大体隊長が隊長を斬ったとかって･･･瀞霊廷内のモメ事じゃねえか･･
the main point is: captains killing captains...is their own business.
そんなの俺達に言ってどうすんだ?
so what are we to do about it?

15
Ishida:
言うべきだと判断したから言ったんだろう
they told us because they decided to tell us.
Ichigo:
あ?
Ah?

..You don't understand, Kurosaki?
その藍染という隊長が中央四十六室――
that captain Aizen guy...the central 46 room ---
･･･話の流れから見て瀞霊廷の最高司法機関と見ていいだろう
...from the speech it seems their highest administration of justice facility
それを全滅させ
has been annihilated
自分の目的を恰もその四十六室の決定であるかのように見せかけて遂行しようとしていた なら――
if he was faking his orders as though it were that 46 room's decision
その目的とは何だ?
what is the purpose?
Ganju:
･･･処刑か・・・か?
...the execution?
Ishida:
そうだ
That's it
僕達が尸魂界に入ってからどんどん早まっていった朽木さんの処刑の期日･･･
After we entered Soul Society, the date of Kuchiki-san's execution
has accelerated...
君も違和感 を感じていた筈だ
you must get a strange feeling
だが それも今の話で繋がった
but now the story has connected

I see.
いいよ
It's okay
ギン
Gin
君は強情だからね阿散井くん
you are stubbern Abarai-kun
朽木ルキアだけ置いて退がるのが
if you don't put Kuchiki Rukia down and back off
厭だと言うなら仕方ない
then I am reluctant to say it can't be helped
こちらも君の気持ちを汲もう
I will sympathize with this boy
朽木ルキアは抱えたままで良い
holding Kuchiki Rukia is fine
--------
19
Aizen:
腕ごと置いて退がりたまえ
but leave your arms and step back
