3 Pilato kamuuza, “Gweye ayo Mndewa wa Wayahudi?” Yesu kamwidika, “Ona, vivo viulonga,”
4 Abaho Pilato kawalongela wakulu wa walava nhosa na ulunhu lwa wanhu, “Siyonile mbuli ya kumtagusa munhu ino.”
5 Lakini wao wagangamiza ng'hani, walonga, “Kwa mafundizo gake kowading'hula wanhu wose wa mwiisi ya Yudea. Kasongela Galilaya na sambi keza hano.”
6 Pilato viyahulike avo kauza, “Vino munhu ino mwenekae wa Galilaya?”
7 Viyajuwile kamba Yesu kalawa mwiisi ilongozigwa na Helode, kamgala kwa Helode, yakalile Yelusalemu kipindi acho.
8 Helode viyamone Yesu kadeng'helela ng'hani, kwavija kahulika mbuli zake na toka mwaka kakala yolonda kumona. Kakala kobetela kona unzonza utendigwa na Yesu.
9 Avo Helode kamuuza Yesu mbuli nyingi, lakini hamwidike mbuli.
10 Wakulu wa walava nhosa na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa walawilila kuulongozi wamulavila vitala Yesu vikulu vikulu.
11 Helode na wakalizi zake wamzeha Yesu na kumwehula, abaho wamvaza kiwalo cha undewa wambweza kwa Pilato.
12 Kipindi kikija Helode na Pilato wakala mbwiga, kwavija ako umwaka wakala waihile.
13 Pilato kawakema hamoja wakulu wa walava nhosa, walangulizi na wanhu,
14 kawalongela, “Mumgala munhu ino kumwangu mulonga kakala kowagiza wanhu. Lelo nimuuza mgameso genu na siyonile mbuli yoyose ihile yumumtagusile.
15 Vivija Helode hachonile kiyabanange, lekaavo kambweza kumwetu. Kwavija kuduhu mbuli yoyose yaitendile munhu ino imtende yakomigwe.
16 Avo nolagiza yatoigwe mbalati na kumuleka yachole.”
17 Chahavikaga kipindi cha Nyimwili nyimwili ya Pasaka, Pilato kalondeka yamfungulile mfungwa imoja.
18 Lunhu lose lukemelela, “Mkome munhu ayo! Tufungulile Balaba!”
19 Balaba kakala yagodekigwe mkifungo mbuli ya kuwading'hula wanhu kudibuga, na mbuli ya ukomaji.
20 Pilato kalonda kumulekesa Yesu, avo kalulongela ulunhu kabili.
21 Lakini wagendelela kukemelela, “Muwambe mumsalaba! Muwambe mumsalaba!”
22 Pilato kawalongela mwanza wa kadatu, “Vino, mbuli gani ihile yaitendile munhu ino? Siyonile mbuli yoyose yaitendile munhu ino imtende yakomigwe! Nolagiza yatoigwe mbalati na kumulekesa.”
23 Wagendelela kukemelela ng'hani, wolonga Yesu yawambigwe mumsalaba, kukimambukizo nyangi zao zihuma.
24 Avo Pilato katogola kija kiwalondile kumtendela Yesu.
25 Kamfungulila munhu iwamulondile, ija yagodekigwe mbuli ya kuwading'hula wanhu na ukomaji, na kamgela Yesu mmakono gao wamtendele kamba viwalondile.
26 Wakalizi 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.
27 Lunhu mkulu lwa wanhu lumkweleleza, mmwanza awo wakala watwanzi wayagwe wakalile womulilila na kuiyalala.
28 Yesu kahinduka kawalongela, “Mweye kina mama wa Yelusalemu! Sekemunililile niye, lakini ililileni wenyego na wanenu.
29 Kwavija kipindi chokwiza wanhu wolonga, ‘Wamweda watwanzi hawalelile wana na hawakong'heze!’
30 Kipindi acho wanhu wovilongela vigongo, ‘Tulagalile!’ na wovilongela visugulu, ‘Tufiseni!’
31 kwavija kamba wanhu wotenda mbuli zino kipindi mbiki ung'hali mbisi, vino yokuwaze kipindi mbiki wahanyala?”
32 Wanhu wabili wayagwe wakalile wabananzi, wagaligwa wakomigwe hamoja na Yesu.
33 Viwavikile 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.
34 Yesu kalonga, “Tata, gela kumgongo nzambi zao, kwavija hawakijuwa kiwotenda.” Waigolela viwalo vake kwa kubwanha simbi.
35 Wanhu wema aho wolola, kuno wakulu wa Wayahudi womzeha Yesu, walonga, “Kawakombola wayagwe, leka yaikombole mwenyego, kamba heyo ayo Kilisito, yasaguligwe na Mulungu!”
36 Vivija wakalizi wamzeha, wamcholela wamgwaa divai ya ugwadu,
37 kuno wolonga, “Kamba gweye kwa Mndewa wa Wayahudi, ikombole mwenyego!”
38 Uchanha ya msalaba wake wandika vino, “Ino ayo Mndewa wa Wayahudi.”
39 Imoja wa waja wabananzi yawambigwe mumsalaba, kamuliga Yesu, kalonga, “Vino gweye siyo Kilisito Mkombola? Ikombole mwenyego na tweye!”
40 Lakini ija iyagwe kamkomhokela miyage, kalonga, “Vino, gweye humdumba Mulungu bule? Na gweye kutagusigwa kamba heyo.
41 Gweye na niye totagusigwa goya, kwavija tobokela fungu da sang'hano zetu, lakini munhu ino hatendile mbuli yoyose ihile.”
42 Abaho munhu ija kamulongela Yesu, “Yesu, ung'humbuke wahengila Muundewa wako!”
