¹⁶“Ivyo nanilagize atoigwe nkome niyo namlekela.”

¹⁷Chila zuwa dya Pasaka Pilato na kaungwa alekele mfungwa yumwenga.

¹⁸Mna wose hamwenga watula lwasu, “Muse yuno mntu! Chifungwile Balaba!”

¹⁹Balaba nakajelwa mndani kwa wavu wa nkumbizi mwe kaya, naho nakakoma wantu.

²⁰Pilato nakaunga amlekele Yesu, ivyo niyo alonga nawo vituhu.

²¹Mna wowo niyo watula lwasu vituhu, “Mtungike! Mtungike!”

²²Pilato awagamba nkanana ya katatu, “Kabalangani? Sikuwona ubanasi wowose mwakwe vikuleka akomwe! Nanilagize atoigwe nkome vikaheza nimlekele.”

²³Mna wowo wajendeleza kutula lwasu vidala kugamba Yesu aunngwa atungikwe mo msalaba, na mo udumo wo lwasu lwawo niyo wahudwa.

²⁴Ivyo Pilato kamkantila Yesu saviya nendile wakaunga.

²⁵Amvugwila kulaila kwedijeleza yudya waungile, yudya ajeligwe kwedijeleza kwa wavu wa nkumbizi na kukoma wantu, amwinkiza Yesu kwawo wamdamanye ivyo wakunga.

²⁷Fyo kulu dya wantu dimtimila, mgati mwawo namna wavyele nawakalomboleza na kwila.

²⁸Yesu awahitukila awagamba, “Nyuwe wavyele wa Yelusalemu! Msekuniila miye, mna kweileni nyuwe wenye na wana wenyu.

²⁹Kwaviya mazuwa nayeze aho wantu wakunga walonge, ‘Chinyemi china wadya hewakweleka, wadya hawajezaga kweleka hegu konkeza!’

³⁰Chipindi icho wantu nawakonge kuyagamba magulu, ‘Chigweleni!’ Na wagulu, ‘Chigubikeni!’

³¹Kwaviya uneva wantu wautendela mti mbisi seivyo, naitende zeze kwa mti unyaile?”

³²Kwendaga na wantu watuhu waidi, wendaga weihiye, wegalagwa hamwenga na Yesu ko kutundikwa.

³³Weze wabule hantu hakwitangwa, “Gobela dya mtwi”, niyo wamtungika Yesu mo msalaba, na hamwenga na wadya wabanasi waidi, yumwenga ntendelo ya kulume yumwenga kumoso kwakwe.

³⁴Akaheza Yesu agamba, “Walekeile, Tate kwaviya hawamanyize diya wakudamanya.” Niyo wapangana izisuche za Yesu kwa kuzitoila tegatega.

³⁵Wantu nawachimala hadya wakakaula kuno vilongozi wa Wayahudi wakamtila wakagamba, “Ambulaga wantu watuhu, haluse neambule mwenye hegu nuyo Kulisito yudya asagulwe ni Chohile!”

³⁶Wankondo nawo niyo wamtila, wamwigaila divai igwaduke,

³⁷na kumgamba, “Kweambule mwenye hegu weye wi seuta ywa Wayahudi!”
