Luka 23:3-42

³Pilato kamuuza, “Gweye ayo Mndewa wa Wayahudi?” Yesu kamwidika, “Ona, vivo viulonga,”

⁴Abaho Pilato kawalongela wakulu wa walava nhosa na ulunhu lwa wanhu, “Siyonile mbuli ya kumtagusa munhu ino.”

⁵Lakini wao wagangamiza ng'hani, walonga, “Kwa mafundizo gake kowading'hula wanhu wose wa mwiisi ya Yudea. Kasongela Galilaya na sambi keza hano.”

⁶Pilato viyahulike avo kauza, “Vino munhu ino mwenekae wa Galilaya?”

⁷Viyajuwile kamba Yesu kalawa mwiisi ilongozigwa na Helode, kamgala kwa Helode, yakalile Yelusalemu kipindi acho.

⁸Helode viyamone Yesu kadeng'helela ng'hani, kwavija kahulika mbuli zake na toka mwaka kakala yolonda kumona. Kakala kobetela kona unzonza utendigwa na Yesu.

⁹Avo Helode kamuuza Yesu mbuli nyingi, lakini hamwidike mbuli.

¹⁰Wakulu wa walava nhosa na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa walawilila kuulongozi wamulavila vitala Yesu vikulu vikulu.

¹¹Helode na wakalizi zake wamzeha Yesu na kumwehula, abaho wamvaza kiwalo cha undewa wambweza kwa Pilato.

¹²Kipindi kikija Helode na Pilato wakala mbwiga, kwavija ako umwaka wakala waihile.

¹³Pilato kawakema hamoja wakulu wa walava nhosa, walangulizi na wanhu,

¹⁴kawalongela, “Mumgala munhu ino kumwangu mulonga kakala kowagiza wanhu. Lelo nimuuza mgameso genu na siyonile mbuli yoyose ihile yumumtagusile.

¹⁵Vivija Helode hachonile kiyabanange, lekaavo kambweza kumwetu. Kwavija kuduhu mbuli yoyose yaitendile munhu ino imtende yakomigwe.

¹⁶Avo nolagiza yatoigwe mbalati na kumuleka yachole.”

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.

³⁴Yesu kalonga, “Tata, gela kumgongo nzambi zao, kwavija hawakijuwa kiwotenda.” Waigolela viwalo vake kwa kubwanha simbi.

³⁵Wanhu wema aho wolola, kuno wakulu wa Wayahudi womzeha Yesu, walonga, “Kawakombola wayagwe, leka yaikombole mwenyego, kamba heyo ayo Kilisito, yasaguligwe na Mulungu!”

³⁶Vivija wakalizi wamzeha, wamcholela wamgwaa divai ya ugwadu,

³⁷kuno wolonga, “Kamba gweye kwa Mndewa wa Wayahudi, ikombole mwenyego!”

³⁸Uchanha ya msalaba wake wandika vino, “Ino ayo Mndewa wa Wayahudi.”

³⁹Imoja wa waja wabananzi yawambigwe mumsalaba, kamuliga Yesu, kalonga, “Vino gweye siyo Kilisito Mkombola? Ikombole mwenyego na tweye!”

⁴⁰Lakini ija iyagwe kamkomhokela miyage, kalonga, “Vino, gweye humdumba Mulungu bule? Na gweye kutagusigwa kamba heyo.

⁴¹Gweye na niye totagusigwa goya, kwavija tobokela fungu da sang'hano zetu, lakini munhu ino hatendile mbuli yoyose ihile.”

⁴²Abaho munhu ija kamulongela Yesu, “Yesu, ung'humbuke wahengila Muundewa wako!”
