1 Maabaho Pilato kamsola Yesu yalanhigwe mibalati. 2 Wakalizi waluka kombelo da miwa, wamvaza Yesu muna iditwi. Maabaho wamuyawaza walo da chifalume. 3 Wanhu wamuhitila na kumulongela, “Minzamwe mfalume wa wayahudi!” Maabaho wamtowa makofi.

4 Pilato kalawa kunze kaidi, kawalongela Wayahudi, “Loleni, nomulava kumwenu muladi muvimanye sipatile chimu cha kumtagusa.” 5 Yesu kalawa kunze, kavala kombelo da miwa na walo da chifalume. Pilato kawalongela, “Loleni! Munhu mwenyewo aino hano!”

6 Wakulu wa nhambiko wa Kaye ya Mulungu na wakalizi viwamuwonile Yesu, walandula yamadizi, “Muwambe mumsalaba! Muwambe mumsalaba!”

Pilato kawalongela, “msoleni mkamuwambe mumsalaba. Mbali niye sipatile chimu cha kumtagusa.”

7 Wayahudi wamwidika, “Cheye china lagilizo, na kwa dilagilizo ijo. Munhu iyo kolondeka yadanganike kwaviya kaitenda yeye ni Mwana wa Mulungu.”

8 Pilato viyahulike ivo, kadumba nani. 9 Kengila kaidi mwiimhongono, kamuuza Yesu, “Vino weye kolawa kulihi?”

Mbali Yesu hedike bule. 10 Pilato kamulongela, “Vino kwolema kulonga na niye? Huvimanyile bule kuwa nina udahi wa kukulekela hebu kukuwamba mumsalaba?”

11 Yesu kamwidika, “Udaho wose woulinawo kumwangu kwing'higwa na Mulungu. Nayo munhu ija yoyanigalile kumwako kana uhasanyi mkulu ng'hani.”

12 Pilato viyahulike ivo, kazahila nzila ya kumulekela Yesu. Mbali Wayahudi walandula madizi yawo, “One uhamulekela, weye siyo mbwiya wa mfalume mkulu wa Loma. Munhu yoyose yoyolonga ni mfalume komulema mfalume mkulu wa Loma!”

13 Pilato viyahulike mbuli izo, kangala Yesu kunze na kukala mchigoda cha nhaguso, hanhu hatangigwe “Luhelengo lwa mabwe.” Kwa Chiyebulaniya “Gabasa.” 14 Ikala saa sita imisi, Isiku ya Kuyisasala kwa Pasaka. Pilato kawalongela Wayahudi, “Aino hano mfalume wenu!”

15 Mbali walandula yamadizi, “Mkome! Mkome! Muwambe mumsalaba!”

Pilato kawauza, “Vino mwolonda nimuwambe mumsalaba mfalume wenu?”

Wakulu wa nhambiko wamwidika, “Chabule mfalume imwenga ila mfalume mkulu wa Loma muhala!”

Maabaho wakalizi wamsola Yesu. 17 Yesu kalawa kunze kuno kaupapa msalaba wake, kahita hanhu hohatangigwe “Bombwe” Kwa Chiyebulaniya “Goligota”. 18 Baho wamuwamba Yesu mumsalaba. Iviya wawawamba wanhu wamwenga waidi, imwe ubanzi wake wa kulume na imwenga ubanzi wake wa kumoso, na Yesu hagati yawo. 19 Pilato kandika chilaguso, kachika uchanyha ya msalaba. Kandika vino‚ “Yesu wa Nazaleti, Mfalume wa Wayahudi.” 20 Wayahudi wengi wachisoma chilaguso chino, kwaviya hanhu baho hoyawambigwe Yesu hakala habehi na bululu, na chilaguso chandikigwa kwa Chiyebulaniya na Chilumi na Chigiliki. 21 Wakulu wa nhambiko wa Chiyahudi wamulongela Pilato, “Sekewandike ‘Mfalume wa Wayahudi’, ila yandika, ‘Munhu ino kalonga, niye namfalume wa Wayahudi.’ ”

22 Pilato kalonga, “Chinyandike nichandika.”

23 Wakalizi viwamuwambile Yesu, wasola viwalo vake, wavigola vilundi vine, chila mkalizi lundi jake. Iviya wasola ng'hanzu yake, ng'hanzu iyo ikala ilukigwe kwa chihande chimwe cha walo muhala chilibule muluko. 24 Wailongela, “Sekechididege, leka chitowe mhiya chilole yelihi yondayadipate.” Ilawilila vino muladi Maandiko Yelile yatimile yoyolonga,

Maabaho kaidulika iditwi, kadanganika.

31 Dikala Isiku ya Kuisasala na Pasaka, na siku isondelele ikala Isiku ya Mhumulo. Walangulizi wa Wayahudi hawalondile bule mitufi ikale muna imisalaba muna Isiku ya Mhumulo kwaviya Isiku iyo ikala siku ng'hulu. Ivo wanpula Pilato magulu ya wanhu wawo wowawambigwe mumsalaba ibenigwe, na mitufi yawo ihulumusigwe. 32 Ivo wakalizi wahita, wabena magulu ya munhu wa mwanduso yoyawambigwe mumsalaba hamwe na Yesu, na maabaho wabena magulu ya ija munhu imwenga. 33 Mbali viwafikile kwa Yesu, wamuwona kadanganika kamala, ivo hawambenile bule magulu yake. 34 Mkalizi imwe kamuhoma Yesu na mgoha mulubavu. Bahobaho ilawa damu na mazi. 35 Munhu ija yawonile chiya chilawilile kachilongela ukalangama muladi chitogole. Na chiya chiyachilongele cha kweli, na kovimanya kolonga kweli. 36 Ilawilila vino muladi Maandiko Yelile yatimie, “Habule hata vuha jake dimwe dondadibenigwe.” 37 Iviya Yamaandiko Yelile yolonga, “Wezamulola munhu ija yowamuhomile.”
