Yohana 19:16-21

¹⁶Pilato nakamlavya Yesu, kawapa hewo mmoko mwao wakamuwambe mumsalaba. Aho nawamhola Yesu.

¹⁷Yesu nakalawa kunze yapichile msalaba wa kumuwambila mbaka honhu halihochemigwa izeje lya mutwi, kwa Chiebulaniya Goligota.

¹⁸Wamuwamba Yesu mumsalaba hamwe na wanhu wanji weli, yumwe kumoso na yumwe kudilo, heye nayali hagati.

¹⁹Pilato nakandika mchibao, kawika kuchanya mumsalaba hali Yesu, “Yesu Mnasaleti, Mndewa wa Wayahudi.”

²⁰Wayahudi wenji nawali wosoma ibango alyo kwa vila hala howamuwambile Yesu kwali habehi na muji walingikala wanhu. Na ibango alyo lyali lyandichigwe kwa Chiebulaniya na Chilumi na Chigiliki.

²¹Mtambika Mkulu nakamlonjela Pilato, “Uleche kwandika ‘Mndewa wa Wayahudi,’ Ila ‘Munhu ayu nakalonga, Heni nda Mndewa wa Wayahudi.’ ”
