16Mhela awo nakwali na munhu yumwe yawele mchinweng'ho yazeleche lukami, itagwa lyake Balaba.
17Ahyo, wanhu loweting'hane hamwe, Pilato nakawauza, “Mwangugana ndimchumulile yalikohi kuli awa weli, Balaba ama Yesu yalinguchemigwa Kilistu Mlohozi?”
18Nakalonga hino kwa vila nakavizela kota nawamigala kwa heye kwa mbuli ya kumonela fihi hela.

43Naketumbila Nguluwi na kulonga eti heye ndo Mwana wa Nguluwi, lelo Nguluwi yamlohole one yalingumgana.”
44Hihyo na wala wabokaji wawambigwe hamwe na Yesu mumsalaba nawaliwomliga.
45Kulawila saa tisa matinazo, jiza naigubika isi yeng'ha.
46Loifichile saa tisa matinazo, Yesu nakalila kwa lizi likulu, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabakitani?” Ilinguzeleka, “Nguluwi wa heni, Nguluwi wa heni, lekachoni kundeka?”

50Baho, Yesu nakalila kahi kwa lizi likulu, hamba muhe nauleka lukuli.
51Baho ipaziya ligazi lya kudinya honhu helile ng'hatu ha ng'handa ya Nguluwi lidejeka vihande vili kulawa kuchanya mbaka hasi, isi naitigasika, mitalawe najitulika,
52vilaga navigubuka na wanhu wenji wa Nguluwi welile nawabagame, wazilipuligwa,
53na hewo, loyazilipuche heye Yesu, walawa mvilaga, wenjila Yelusalemu muji welile, woneka na wanhu wenji.
54Lelo mkulu wa wamizi na wamizi wa Yesu lowawene limachinyina na gala galawile, nawadumba heko, nawalonga, “Ena, kwa kukomya munhu ayu nayali Mwana wa Nguluwi.”
55Honhu aho hali na wadala wenji wolola kwa kutali. Awo wadala ndo wala wamuwinzile Yesu kulawila Galilaya womtanza.
