1 Baho, Pilato akaswitiliche Yesu ategulwe, vamtove ndomondo. 2 Vapuga vakabotile ingela lya mihomi gya miswampondo vakamfwalise Yesu patuwe, kangi vakamfwalise lihingila lya sambalawo lya king'achale, 3 na vakali vikwacha pautalo lyake na kulonga, "Kamwene, Ng'achale va Vayawudi!" Vakamtova mambalamande.

4 Baho, Pilato akahumile kwivala kangi, akavalongie, "Mulole, munu uyu ndikumletela kwivala kwa nyenye muchele kuva nene sendiwonile nongwa yeyonda kwa munu uyu." 5 Suwe, Yesu akahuma kwivala, kafwalile ingela lya mihomi na lihingila lya langi lya sambalau. Pilato akavalongie, "Mulole! Munu mwene nde uyu."

6 Vatekechi vakomi pamwi vadima va mukaye lya kutang'anila Vayawudi pevamuwonile Yesu vakalonga kwa lichwi ngomi, "Avambwe pakipindilihicho, avambwe pakipindilihicho!"

Pilato akavalongela, "Mumtegule nyenye baho mumvambe, kwakuva nene sendilionile nongwa lyake."

7 Vayawudi vakamuhigile, "Nefwe tunago malagicho gyetu, kuhumila na malagicho aga, inga'ng'wa kufua, kwakuva akayigita kuva Mwana va Nguluvi."

8 Pilato peapulikile njowo icho, akagina kwogofya. 9 Pilato akaingile kangi mukaye lyake, akamuhucha kangi Yesu, "Veve uhumile kwii?"

Ila Yesu seamuhigile. 10 Baho Pilato akamlongie, "Wuli, seukundihiga? Wuli, Seuchela kuva nene ndigehe na umwimike va kukuleka pekesu awu kukuvamba pakindilihicho?"

11 Yesu akamuhigile, "Veve ugehe na umwimike pakyanya lyangu kwakuva ugavile na Nguluvi, ndena yendiletile baha agitile kinu kiwofu hilo."

12 Pilato peapulikile ago akasakile ng'asi lya kumulekela Yesu, Ila Vayawudi vakatovile kyowo, "Ukimlekelela munu uyu, suwe, veve semganja va Kaisali. Kila Munu yeakwigita kuva ng'achale uyo akumpinja Kaisali!"

13 Pilato peapulike njowo icho, akamuhumiche Yesu kwivala na akakalile mukigoda kya kuhiga, pono pepikemilwe, "Pepakilimiwe na kuvikwa kwa Maganga" kwa Kiebulania pakemelwa, "Gabata." 14 Yikali saa sita mukigono kya kuyitayalisa na lihungu lya Pasaka. Pilato akavalongela Vayawudi, "Mulole, Ng'achale venu ndi uyo!"

15 Vakalongile kwa lichwi lukomi, "Mdoche! Mdoche! Muvambe mulipindilihicho!"

Pilato akavahucha, "Wuli ndimvambe pakipindilihicho Ng'achale venu?"

Vatekechi vakomi vakamuhigile, "Nefwe twihela ng'achale yungi ila Ng'achale mkomi va ku Loma weka hela!"

16 Baho, Pilato akavagavila Yesu neke vamvambe pakipindilihicho.

17 Yesu akahumile kuno atolile lipindilihicho lwake na akahelele pono peikemelwe, "Libang'a lya Lituwe" kwa Kibulania pakemelwa, "Goligota." 18 Chipindi vafikile pala Vakamvambile Yesu palipindilihicho pamwi na vanu vangi vavili, kila mwinga mulipindilihicho lwake, yumwi palubali lwa lyandewo na yungi palubali lya lyanyigi. 19 Pilato akasimbile mukibawo na akakong'olela pono pa pakyanya palipindilihicho lya Yesu kuva, "Yesu va Nasaleti, Ng'achale va Vayawudi." 20 Vayawudi volofu vakakwimbile, kwakuva pono pala pevamkong'olike Yesu palipindilihicho kukali pepi na mwani. Vakasimbile kibawo kila kwa ng'ombelo cha Kibulania, Kilatini na Kigiliki. 21 Suwe, Vatekechi vakomi vakamlongie Pilato, "Ubihile kusimba, ‘Ng'achale va Vayawudi,’ ila usimbe kuva, munu uyu akalongile, ‘Nene ndi Ng'achale va Vayawudi.’"

22 Pilato akavahigila, "Gendisimbile, ndisimbile!"

23 Vapuga pevamalile kumvamba Yesu palipindilihicho, vakategule myenda gyake, vakagawine filundo chitai, kila mpuga kilundo kyake. Ila vakategule na lihingila lyake, lihingila ilyo likali libotilwe kuva kinu kimwi kuhuma kukyanya mbaka panyi ngajila kuhonwa. 24 Vala vapuga vakwilongela, "Tubihile kuchidemula, ila tutovile gudugudu ivecha lya ani." Lukani lula likagitilwe neke Masimbilo ga Nguluvi gavecha ndakyene,

"Vakagawine myenda gyangu,

na lihingila lyangu vakatovile gudugudu."

Ago gyonda vakagitile vala vapuga.

25 Pepi na palipindilihicho lwa Yesu vakali vaimile maye va Yesu na maye vake mdodo Yesu na Maliya mdala va Kilopa pamwi na Maliya Magadalena. 26 Yesu peamuwonile maye vake na mchulila yeamkelie ahimile pepi maye vake, akamlongela maye vake, "Maye uyo nde mwana vako."

27 Baho, akamlongie yula mchulila, "Uyo nde maye vako." Kuhuma pala mchulila yula akamtegula maye vake Yesu akahelela nave kukaye lyake.

28 Baho, Yesu akachele amalile kasi chake chonda, neke Masimbo gya Nguluvi gaveche ndakyene, akalonga, "Ndiwona ng'elu."

29 Pala pakali na bakuli yeimemile dafwayi yeihatile, suwe, vakachwike lidodoki mudafwayi, vakavika mulitete na vakamvikiye pamlomo. 30 Yesu peanyuwe yila dafwayi, akalongile, "Kasi lyangu yisilile!"

Baho, akagondamicha kituwe kyake, akafuwe.

31 Baho, vakomi va Vayawudi vakamsukile Pilato avaleke vakadenya magulu gya vala vevambilwe mulipindilihicho na kukwisa mivili gyawo. Vakagita ndeni kwakuva ikali kigono kya mayandaliso lya Kigono kya Kutulula na sevakasakile mivili gya vanu gisigale kukyanya palipindilihicho mu Kigono kya Kutulula, kwakuva kigono ikyo kikali kikomi hilo kwa Vayawudi. 32 Vapuga vakahelela na vakadenya magulu gya yula munu va kwanja na yula va uvili vevakali vavambilwe pamwi na Yesu. 33 Ila pevahelele kwa Yesu vakamuwene afuwe suwe, ndeni, sevakamdenyile magulu gyake. 34 Mpuga yumwi akamdukufule na mgoha mulubafu, bahobaho chikahumile danda na malenga. 35 Yula yeawonile chechigitilwe pala akavalongie vanu, neke nyenye mdikile.
