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.’ ”

²²Pilato nakedichila, “Chonyandiche nyandika sigalamla hebu!”

²³Wamizi vyowamuwambile Yesu, wahola nguwo zoyavalile, wegawila vilundo vine, chila munhu chilundo chimwe. Wahola na nguwo ya heye yinji itawigwe kwa chibende chimwe chohachihonigwe.

²⁴Lelo welonjelela waliyeka wata, “Tuleche kuidega ayi, tulitowele simbi tulole yalikohi yohola.” Mbuli ayi naikoleka galawile Maandiko Matakatifu galingulonga, “Wegawila nguwo za heni, na zila zomvalile wazitowela simbi.” Ahyo ndo vyowaditile awala wamizi.

²⁵Habehi na ahala howamuwambile Yesu mumsalaba, wali wemile Maliya mayake Yesu na lumbu wa mayake na Maliya mdala wa Kileopa na Maliya Madelena.

²⁶Yesu vyoyamuwene mayake yemile na mlanguswa wa heye yamganile lukami ahala honhu nakamlonjela, “Mamo, sambi ayo ndo mwanago.”

²⁷Kahi baho nakamlonjela ayula mlanguswa, “Sambi ayo ndo mayako.” Kulawa hala, mlanguswa yula kamhola mayake kuza kikala na heye kaye.

²⁸Yesu nakavizela kota geng'ha gamala, na leka Maandiko Matakatifu galawile kalonga, “Ndangona ng'halu.”

²⁹Kwali na chisaye ahala chiwele na divai izazame, wadilizila ibofyabofya, nawawopa mli nhagala ya isopolo, wamuwichila Yesu hamlomo yanwe.

³⁰Yesu vyoyanwele aila divai izazame, nakalonga, “Lelo imala!” Hamba kenamiza mutwi wa heye, muhe nauleka lukuli.

³¹Yali zuwa lya Kiwika goya na Pasaka, na mitondo yake nayali Zuwa lya Kwesela. Wayahudi nahawaviganile ng'huli zikale mmisalaba kuli Zuwa lya Kwesela kwavila zuwa alyo lyali likulu. Ahyo nawamlanda Pilato magulu ga wanhu hewo wawambigwe gabenigwe na ng'huli zawo zusigwe.

³²Baho wamizi waluta kubena magulu ga munhu wa mwaluko na wa keli wawambigwe hamwe na Yesu.
