¹⁷Chahavikaga kipindi cha Nyimwili nyimwili ya Pasaka, Pilato kalondeka yamfungulile mfungwa imoja.

¹⁸Lunhu lose lukemelela, “Mkome munhu ayo! Tufungulile Balaba!”

¹⁹Balaba kakala yagodekigwe mkifungo mbuli ya kuwading'hula wanhu kudibuga, na mbuli ya ukomaji.

²⁰Pilato kalonda kumulekesa Yesu, avo kalulongela ulunhu kabili.

²¹Lakini wagendelela kukemelela, “Muwambe mumsalaba! Muwambe mumsalaba!”

²²Pilato kawalongela mwanza wa kadatu, “Vino, mbuli gani ihile yaitendile munhu ino? Siyonile mbuli yoyose yaitendile munhu ino imtende yakomigwe! Nolagiza yatoigwe mbalati na kumulekesa.”

²³Wagendelela kukemelela ng'hani, wolonga Yesu yawambigwe mumsalaba, kukimambukizo nyangi zao zihuma.

²⁴Avo Pilato katogola kija kiwalondile kumtendela Yesu.

²⁵Kamfungulila munhu iwamulondile, ija yagodekigwe mbuli ya kuwading'hula wanhu na ukomaji, na kamgela Yesu mmakono gao wamtendele kamba viwalondile.

²⁶Wakalizi wamulongoza Yesu, viwakalile womgala, wamting'hana munhu imoja kulawa Kilene, twaga jake Simoni, kakala kolawa kumgunda, wamgoga wamdikwa umsalaba, na wamulagiza yaupape kukisogo cha Yesu.

²⁷Lunhu mkulu lwa wanhu lumkweleleza, mmwanza awo wakala watwanzi wayagwe wakalile womulilila na kuiyalala.

²⁸Yesu kahinduka kawalongela, “Mweye kina mama wa Yelusalemu! Sekemunililile niye, lakini ililileni wenyego na wanenu.

²⁹Kwavija kipindi chokwiza wanhu wolonga, ‘Wamweda watwanzi hawalelile wana na hawakong'heze!’

³⁰Kipindi acho wanhu wovilongela vigongo, ‘Tulagalile!’ na wovilongela visugulu, ‘Tufiseni!’

³¹kwavija kamba wanhu wotenda mbuli zino kipindi mbiki ung'hali mbisi, vino yokuwaze kipindi mbiki wahanyala?”

³²Wanhu wabili wayagwe wakalile wabananzi, wagaligwa wakomigwe hamoja na Yesu.

³³Viwavikile hanhu hakemigwe, “Fumvu da Pala,” wamuwamba Yesu mumsalaba, hamoja na waja wabananzi wabili, imoja mwambu wa mkono wake wa kudila na iyagwe mwambu wa mkono wake wa kumoso.
