27 Nuuko abasirikare ba Pilaato bajaana Yesu mu gikaari c'umutegeka, umutwe w'abasirikare woose uramwitooroora. 28 Bamukuuramo imyambaro ye, bamwambika igishuura gitukura, 29 bamaze kuboha ikamba ry'amahwa, barimwambika ku mutwe. Bamufatiisha urubingo mu kuboko kwe kw'iburyo, maze baramupfukamira kandi bamushinyagurira bavuga bati, "Urakarama, Mwami w'Abayuuda!" 30 Nuuko bamuciiraho, bafata urubingo barumukubita mu mutwe. 31 Barangije kumushinyagurira, bamukuuramo ca gishuura, bamwambika imyambaro ye, bamujaana kumubamba.

32 Bagisohoka, bahuura na Simooni w'Umunyakureeni, bamuhata kwikorera umusaraba wa Yesu. 33 Bageze mu mwanya wiitwa Gorogota, kimenyeesha Ku k'igihanga, 34 bamusomya divaayi ivanze n'indurwe*, asogongeye yanga kuyinywa. 35 Bamaze kumubamba, bagabana imyenda ye bakoreesheje ubufindo. 36 Abasirikare biicara aho, barinda Yesu. 37 Heejuru y'umutwe wa Yesu bashiraho icaapa canditsweho ngo, "Uyu ni Yesu Umwami w'Abayuuda" 38 Nuuko bamubamba n'abambuzi babiri, umwe iburyo bwe undi ibumoso bwe. 39 Abantu baanyuragaho baaramutukaga, bakazunguza umutwe 40 ✝bati, "Woowe waaseenya Inzu y'Imaana ukayubaka mu minsi itatu, ikize! Niiba uri Umwana w'Imaana koko, manuka uve ku musaraba!" 41 Abatware b'Abaheerezabitambo hamwe, n'Abiigiishamategeko n'abakuru b'imiryango na bo bashinyagurira Yesu batyo 42 bavuga bati, "Yakijije abandi ariko we ntiyakwikiza. Ni umwami w'Abiisirayeli, naamanuke ku musaraba noone aha nuuko naatwe tumwemere. 43 Yiringira Imaana, reka reero Imaana imukize ubu, niiba ibishaaka, kuko yavuze ngo, ‘Ndi Umwana w'Imaana.’ " 44 Ba bambuzi baari babambwe hamwe na Yesu na bo bamutuka batyo.

45 Kuva saaha itandatu z'amanywa kugeza saaha cenda z'umugorooba isi yoose icura umwijima. 46 Maze nko ku saaha icenda z'umugorooba, Yesu ataka n'ijwi rirenga ati, "Eli Eli lama sabakitani?" Bisobaanura ngo, "Maana yanje, Maana yanje, ni iki gitumye unteererana?" 47 Bamwe mu baari bahagaze aho babyumviise baravuga bati, "Uyu mugabo aratabaaza Eliya!" 48 Ako kaanya umwe muri bo ariiruka afata icangwe, acuuzuza divaayi ishaariira, agishira ku rubingo, aramuheereza ngo anywe. 49 Ariko abandi baravuga bati, "Reka tureebe niiba Eliya araaza kumukiza."* 50 Nuuko Yesu yongera gutaka n'ijwi rirenga maze arapfa. 51 Ako kaanya umwenda wari umanitswe mu Nzu y'Imaana ushishimukamo kabiri, kuva heejuru kugera haasi. Isi ihinda umushitsi maze ibitare birasaduka. 52 Ibituuro birakinguuka, n'imibiri y'abeera baapfuuye irazuurwa, 53 maze iva mu bituuro.

Naho ubundi abiigiishwa be baaza bakamwiba, bakabwira abantu bati, ‘Yazuutse mu baapfuuye!’ Nuuko ikinyoma ca nyuma kikaruta ica mbere." 65 Pilaato arababwira ati, "Mufite abasirikare b'abarinzi, nimugende murinde ico gituuro nk'uko mushoboye." 66 Nuuko bagenda n'abarinzi maze bareeba ngo igituuro kirinzwe neeza, kandi kuri rya buye ripfundikiyeho bashiraho akamenyeetso.
