1 Honyuma kw'aho, Pilato mwahamʉla athɨ batsɨmbe Yesʉ na bamuhireko mbasha. 2 Honyuma w'erɨmʉshekeretsya, abashirikani mobalʉka kakira mʉ mʉthahɨ wa mʉthɨ alɨko mahwa n'imwambikyako ko muthwe. Na honyuma kw'aho mobamwambikya lʉkɨmba lwerʉ*. 3 Mobagenda abahika embere sɨwe nɨabanegena bathɨ: «Woyo he mbe mwamɨ w'aBayuta.» Nabo mobamʉbanda makofi. 4 Pilato mwashʉba hʉlʉkɨra embʉga n'ɨbwɨra aBayuta athɨ: «Ɨngo, nyabalethera ɨye yo hano bʉshana mʉmɨnye ko ingye nyithashungire ekyangaleka nɨnyamʉsoha.» 5 Aho Yesʉ mwahʉlʉkɨra embʉga nianambithe akakira k'amahwa n'olʉkɨmba lwerʉ olo. Pilato mwabwɨra abandʉ athɨ: «Ewo, omʉndʉ enyu y'ono!» 6 Hewethuwe abaheri bakʉlʉ n'abatheya b'eNyʉmba ya Gongo babere bamʉshʉnga mobahambala bathɨ: «Mʉmʉbambe! Mʉmʉbambe!» Pilato mwashʉba bwɨrabo athɨ: «Mʉmʉheke imwe bene n'ɨyamʉbamba ko mʉsalaba, kʉshangwa ingye nyithashungire ekyangaleka nɨasoherwa lʉholo.» 7 Aho aBayuta mobamʉshʉbɨtsya bathɨ: «Thuwithe kʉ mʉgomba, ɨkwamana n'omʉgomba oyo, omʉndʉ oyu atholere ithwa, kʉshangwa mwayahʉlamo Mʉgala wa Gongo*.» 8 Pilato abere onvwa ebɨnwa ebyo mwashʉba ʉbaha kʉtsɨbʉ. 9 Mwashʉba ɨngɨra mo nyʉmba yɨwe n'ɨbʉtsya Yesʉ athɨ: «Mbe tha! Ɨwe ʉlɨ mbʉthɨrwa ya hayi?» Hewethuwe Yesʉ mwathamʉshʉbɨtsya kɨnwa. 10 Aho Pilato mwamʉbwɨra athɨ: «Uthalɨ ushondya ɨnyɨshʉbɨtsya? Ɨwe uthetsi ko nyiwithe amaka w'ɨkʉmɨnʉla n'amaka w'erɨkʉbamba ko mʉsalaba?» 11 Yesʉ mwamʉshʉbɨtsya athɨ: «Ɨwe uthawithe maka woshi-woshi kw'ingye, athalɨ awo wahabawa na Gongo. Bʉshana n'ekyo oyo wanyɨhotheraga kw'ɨwe ahekire kɨtsɨbʉ kɨnene kʉtsɨbʉ.» 12 Ɨthanga ko ndambi eyo Pilato mwashondya nga kw'angamɨnʉla Yesʉ. Hewethuwe aBayuta mobahambala kʉtsɨbʉ n'ɨnegena bathɨ: «Wanamamɨnʉla omʉndʉ oyu ɨwe nɨ ʉthalɨ mwira wa Kaisari! Bʉlɨ mʉndʉ yo ʉyahʉlamo mwamɨ nɨamathɨnda Kaisari.»

13 «Pilato abere onvwa ebɨnwa ebyo, mwahʉlʉkɨtsya Yesʉ y'embʉga, mwikala mo kifumbi ky'esohi, aho hanahʉlwa mo kɨebʉranɨa mo "Kabata" n'ɨnegena mbʉ mbʉga ilambikirwemo mabwe.» 14 Kyabyaga ekɨro ky'emɨlalɨtsye y'elinye ly'ePasaka ko saha ndathʉ sa kathi ka mwɨshɨ*. Pilato mwabwɨra aBayuta athɨ: «Ɨngo, omwamɨ enyu yo yu!» 15 Hewethuwe mobahambala bathɨ: Umwithe! Umwithe! Ʉmʉbambe ko mʉsalaba! Pilato mwabʉtsyabo athɨ: «Omushondya nyɨbambe omwamɨ enyu y'oko mʉsalaba?» Abaheri bakʉlʉ mobashubya bathɨ: «Thuthawithe ʉndɨ mwamɨ athalɨ Kaisari!» 16 Aho Pilato mwamʉheretsyabo bʉshana bamʉbambe ko mʉsalaba.

Aho, mobatsɨmba Yesʉ. 17 «Yesʉ mwathoka mo muyi nianahekire omʉsalaba ʉwe ihika ahandʉ ho hanahʉlwamo Kahangali, mo kɨebʉranɨa nɨ Ngolingota.» 18 Honyuma kw'aho, abashirikani mobaya bamba Yesʉ ko mʉsalaba hagʉma n'abandɨ bithi babɨrɨ, mʉgʉma ko lʉhande lʉwe lwa malyo n'ogʉndɨ ko lwa malembe*. 19 Pilato mwashaka mashako ku kɨshayɨ na mwahamʉla bahirekyo ko mʉsalaba. Amashako ayo abyaga anegenire athɨ: «Yesʉ w'iNasareti mwamɨ w'aBayuta.» 20 Bayuta bangɨ mobasoma amashako ayo kʉshangwa ahandʉ Yesʉ abambɨrawa ko mʉsalaba habyaga hofɨ n'omuyi. Amashako abyaga ashakirwe mʉ mɨnegene ishathu: Kɨebʉranɨa na Kilatini na Kikiriki. 21 Aho abaheri bakʉlʉ b'aBayʉta mobabwɨra Pilato bathɨ: «Ʉthashakaga ʉthɨ mwamɨ w'aBayuta, hewethuwe shaka uthya: omʉndʉ oyu ayahʉlamo mwamɨ w'aBayuta.» 22 Pilato mwashubya athɨ: «Ebyo nyɨthashaka, byamalire ɨshakwa!» 23 Abashirikani babere bamamala ɨbamba Yesʉ ko mʉsalaba, mobatsɨmba esongɨmba sɨwe n'ɨgabatho mo mɨhango ine, mobaha bʉlɨ mushirikani yo mʉhango mʉgʉma. Na kuthyo mobatsɨmba ekoti yɨwe yo yithabyagako mʉlando, yo yakomibawa mʉ lʉkɨmba lʉgʉmerera ɨthoka elʉgʉlʉ ihika ahishi. 24 Abashirikani mobabwɨrana bathɨ: «Thʉthaberengaga ekoti eno, hewethuwe thʉkolerero bwɨkɨ, bʉshana thʉmɨnye nga yabya ya ndɨ.» Ebyo mobyabya bithyo bʉshana abererere aMashako Abuyirire ow'anegenawa athɨ:

«Mobagabana esongɨmba saye

na mobakolera ekoti yo bwɨkɨ*.»

Ebyo byo abashirikani bakolaga.

25 Hofɨ n'omʉsalaba habyaga nihimene Marɨa nyinya wa Yesʉ hagʉma na mwalɨ wabo, na Marɨa mʉka Kiliopa na Marɨa w'ɨMangɨndala. 26 Yesʉ abere ashʉnga nyinya n'omwɨga ʉwe yo abyaga atsiire imene hofɨ naye, mwabwɨra nyinya athɨ: «Malɨ, shʉnga mʉgala awe.» 27 Honyuma kw'aho, Yesʉ mwabwɨra omwɨga ʉwe oyo athɨ: «Shʉnga nyoko.» Ɨthoka ko ndambi eyo omwɨga mwathwala Marɨa y'ewe.

28 Honyuma kw'aho, kʉshangwa Yesʉ abyaga nietsi kw'ebyoshi byamabererera, mwanegena athya bʉshana aMashako Abuyirire abererere: «Nyamafwa nyotha.» 29 Aho habyaga kɨrega kyabyagamo tifayi igayire. Aho abashirikani mobathobetsya kakɨmba mo tifayi eyo n'ɨmɨnɨrako kʉ mʉthahɨ wa hisopo n'ihirako ko bʉnʉ bʉwe. 30 Yesʉ abere amamala ɨmera etifayi eyo mwanegena athɨ: «Ebyoshi byamabererera.» Honyuma kw'aho mwinamya obʉsʉ bʉwe na mwatsa omʉthɨma*.

31 Ekɨro ekyo kyabyaga ky'emɨlalɨtsye y'eSabato. Bʉshana n'ekyo, abakʉlʉ b'aBayuta mobathashondya ebinda bibye nɨ bɨnalɨ ko mɨsalaba mo kɨro ky'eSabato, kʉshangwa ekɨro ekyo kyabyaga kɨro kɨkʉlʉ kʉtsɨbʉ. Bʉshana n'ekyo mobashaba Pilato ahamʉle bakonongole emɨhɨmbɨ y'abo bathabambwa ko mɨsalaba, nɨmo bafwa tsʉba n'ebinda byabo bithokibwe ko mɨsalaba. 32 Aho abashirikani mobahika na mobakonongola emɨhɨmbɨ y'omʉndʉ mʉmbere na honyuma kw'aho mobakonongola emɨhɨmbɨ y'owa kabɨrɨ y'abo babambawa hagʉma na Yesʉ. 33 Hewethuwe babere bahika ko mɨhɨmbɨ ya Yesʉ, mobeya nɨamamala ɨfwa, bʉshana n'ekyo mobathakonongola emɨhɨmbɨ yɨwe. 34 Hewethuwe mushirikani mʉgʉma mwahanda mʉ Yesʉ mw'ɨsɨnga mo lʉkanga, aho hahandawa erɨsɨnga mohahʉlʉka mʉsasɨ na metsi. 35 Oyo walolaga kw'ebyo yo waganʉlɨraga, n'obutimo bʉwe nɨ bwa kwenene.

38 Honyuma w'ebyoshi ebyo, Yosefʉ w'iArimatea mwashaba Herote yo hamuli y'ithokya ekinda kya Yesʉ ko mʉsalaba. Yosefʉ oyo abyaga mwɨga wa Yesʉ mu bubisho-bisho bʉshana abyaga niubahire aBayuta. Pilato mwatsɨga. Aho Yosefʉ mwagenda n'ithokya ekinda kya Yesʉ. 39 Na Nikotemo yo wagenderaga Yesʉ mo kɨro, mwagenda hagʉma na Yosefʉ. Nikotemo oyo abyaga niahekire hofɨ bilo makumi ashathʉ bya mafʉta wa kabeho kakwirire, wo bakomaya mu ndulungane ya marasi na bubani. 40 Ababɨrɨ boshi mobaheka omʉbɨrɨ wa Yesʉ, mobahirawo mʉ bɨtambara bihakabirwe mafʉtha alɨmo kabeho kakwirire ɨkwamana n'emɨbere y'erɨtha bandʉ ly'aBayuta. 41 Hofɨ n'aho babambɨraga Yesʉ ko mʉsalaba habyaga ɨshwa.
