1 Mbunga wose wakamilika uyenda naye kuna Pilatu. 2 Bakatangisa wuntilika milandu beti, "Tawuwana ebudzila tjaba tjedu ntome, eti tisilipe luketo kuna Khesari, kakale ezwiti ndiye Khirisitu, mambo."

3 Pilatu wakawumbhuzwa eti, "Ndiwe Mambo wemaJuta?"

Iye wakawun'handula eti, "Wajalo."

4 Pilatu eba eti kubaphirisiti bakulu nekumbunga, "Nlume iwhoyu anditowuwana ananlandu."

5 Koga banhu bakayendila mbeli, beti, "Unodzonga banhu, ediya muJudiya yose, ebvila kuGalile edza ewhoti muno."

6 Pilatu paakawha ikoku, wakabhuzwa kuti nlume iwhoyo uNghalile. 7 Paakaziba kuti ndewebugalo gunotongwa naHherodi, wakawumpindisila kuna Hherodi, muna igogo lubaka Hherodi waka ali muJerusalema. 8 Hherodi wakahanha kwazo ebona Yesu, ngobe gwaka gwaba lubaka gulefulefu eyemula wumbona, ngentha yekuti waka ewha nekukwe, waka egalabgwe kuti unowhobona jenamiso linoyetiwa nayiye. 9 Ndizo wakawumbhuzwa mibhuzo minjinji; koga Yesu akuna tjaakahandula. 10 Baphirisiti bakulu nebakwali bakabalimile ipapo, bewuntilika milandu yakasima. 11 Hherodi nebagwi bengwa babe bakawunseka bekawundhadila; bakawumbadza tjiyambalo tjakanaka, bekawumbgwiliza kuna Pilatu. 12 Muhhuba ilelo Pilatu naHherodi bakaba bakwinya, kuhule baka bebengana.

13 Pilatu wakadana baphirisiti bakulu, nebatungamili, nebanhu, 14 akati kubali, "Mahhisa nhu iwhoyu kundili muti unhu unodiyila banhu ntome; koga imi hule kweholesesa andizowana iwhoyu nhu ananlandu muzwinhu zose zwamunoleba; 15 kene naHherodi bo, wawumbgwiliza kutili. Akuna tjaathama tjingata kuti abulawe. 16 Ndizo, ndowhowunloba, awunsunungula." 17 (Wakajalo ngobe panzano wephasika waka akafanila kuti abasunungulile nsungwa un'ompela.)*

18 Banhu bose bakamimila panhu pan'ompela beti, "Ngaabulawe, mutisunungulile Bharabhasi." 19 Bharabhasi unlume waka akasungwa elimujele, nentha yepanduka kwaka kwayetika munzi-nkulu, kose nebulaya.

20 Pilatu wakapamha akalebeleka nabo ngobe waka ehaka sunungula Yesu; 21 koga bakamimila beti, "Muwunkowhomele, muwunkowhomele!"

22 Wakati kubali, kwebutatu, "Nentha yeni, wathamani tjakayipa? Akuna nlandu wandawana muwunli waangabulayigwa; ndowhowunloba akowunsunungula."

23 Koga bakayendilambeli bemimila nemawhi apehhugwi kuti akowhomegwe. Mimila kwabo kwakakunda. 24 Ndizo Pilatu wakati ngakuyetiwe sehaka kwabo. 25 Wakabasunungulila iye waka akasungwa alimujele ngentha yepanduka nebulaya, wabaka bakumbila; akabapa Yesu kudze bate ludo gwabo.

26 Bakati beyenda naye, bakahangana naSimoni wehango yekuKhureni, waka atjamboswika ebvazwe kuminda, bakawumbhata bakawumpikisa tjileyanyo, akayenda akatjisenga alihule kwaYesu.

27 Wakatobegwa nebanhu banjinji, kose nebafumakadzi baka bekuwa bewunlilila. 28 Yesu ebatjebuka wakati, "Bakololokadzi beJerusalema musindililile, muzwililile imwi nebana benyu. 29 Lingani, anohha mahhuba pabanowholeba beti, ‘Bakakombolegwa bakahaya mbeleko, nezwizwalo zwisakazwala, nemahhamu asakatongomwisa!’ 30 Ipapo banowhoti kumatombo, ‘Mutiwile’; nekuzwitombwana, ‘Mutivukidzile.’ 31 Ngobe hapa bethama bejali kulukuni gunyolo kowhobatjini kulukuni gwakawoma?"

32 Kuna bamwe batjinyi babili bakayendiwa nabo bo kuti banobulawa. 33 Bakati baswika kubugalo gunoyi Pepe tjeN'holo, bakawunkowhomela patjileyanyo ipapo, kan'ompela nebatjinyi, umwe kuludli gugwe umwe kulumehwe gugwe. 34 Yesu wakati, "Tate mubayetile mazwibhatigwa; ngobe abatoziba tjabanothama."

Bagwi bengwa bakakobana zwiyambalo zwizwe ngekandila malipa. 35 Banhu bakama, bakalingilila; koga batungamili bakawunseka, beti, "Wakatjidza bamwe; ngaazwitjidze, hapa ali Khirisitu, N'halugwa weNdzimu!"

36 Bagwi bengwa bakawunseka bo, bakawumpa wayini inohababa, 37 beti, "Hapa uli Mambo wemaJuta, uzwitjidze!"

38 Kwaka kwakakwagwa pehhugwi kukwe kuyi, "Iwhoyu Ndiye Mambo WemaJuta."

39 Umwe webatjinyi waka akalembedziwa patjileyanyo wakawugongobola eti, "Awuta iye Khirisitu? Uzwitjidze, utitjidze bo!"

40 Koga umwe wakawuntjemela eti, "Awutohla Ndzimu, saku wawanika nlandu bo kan'ompela naye? 41 Iswi kwakatilizana; ngobe towamutjila mbhayilo wakafanila zwiyeto zwedu; koga nlume iwhoyu akuna tjaatjinya." 42 Eba eti, "Yesu, undikumbule hapa uswika mubumambo gugo."

43 Yesu wakawun'handula eti, "Lebeswa, ndoti kukuli, nasi nowhoba nami muPharadayisi."

44 Kwaka kwatjibe lubaka hhuba lili panhongoma*, kwakaba hhalima hango yose kuswikila hhuba litewuka*, 45 hhuba lakadzima; netjisitilo tjethempeli tjakapaluka tjikaba kabili. 46 Yesu, emimila newhi lipehhugwi, wakati, "Tate, mumaboko enyu ndotula meya yangu!" Atjijalo wakafema gwebupelo.

47 Nlawuli webagwi bengwa bali gulu wakati abona tjayetika, akalumbidza Ndzimu, eti, "Lebeswa, iwhoyu nlume wayesina nlandu waakalulama!"

48 Banhu bose baka babuya bewholingilila, babona tjayetika bakabgwilila kumizi yabo balihhele buyendasi. 49 Bose baka bezibana naYesu nebafumakadzi baka bawuntobela kubvila kuGalile bakama kulekule bakabona kose kwaka kuyetika.

50 Kwaka kuna nlume unoyi Josefa, ali umwe wemakombgwa, ali mbuya kakale akalulama, 51 waka esabvumilana nenkumbulo neyeta kwabo, waka ebva kunzi wemaJuta unoyi Arimathiya akalindila bumambo gweNdzimu. 52 Nlume iwhoyu wakayenda kuna Pilatu enokumbila kuti apiwe mbili waYesu. 53 Wakawuntulula patjileyanyo, akawumpetelela nejila lelineni. Akanowumbiganya mukumbu tjakatshiwa muhongwe, tjisanhu tjikatongobiganyiwa nhu mutjili. 54 Laka lili hhuba leBaakanyila, kotangisa sabatha.

55 Bafumakadzi baka babva naye kuGalile baka tobela hule, baka bona kumbu, kose nebiganyiwa kwembili uwe; 56 bakakotjibgwilila kanyi, baka baakanya mhoza nemafuta.

Bakanyaluluka muhhuba lesabatha sekunoleba nlayo.
