1 Kuya Pilato kalaghitsa Yesu yasolighwe, yapfapulighwe pfiboko.
2 Asikali wabota fiya ya tsimiwa walika mwitwi mwake. Kuya wampfatsa lighwanda lye chindewa.
3 Wamghendela wamlongela, “Mbukwa, imndewa wa Wayahudi!” Wamtowa makofi.
4 Pilato kalawa keli kunze kawalongela Wayahudi, “Mlole, nomlapfa kunze na mmanye sipatile ghomba lya kumhigha.”
5 Apfo Yesu kalawa kunze kapfala fiya ya tsimiwa na lighwanda lye chindewa. Pilato kawalongela, “Mlole! Hayuno ano!”
6 Iwatambika wakulu na iwabetetsi we Ing'anda ye Imulungu hawamwonile Yesu, wakemelela, “Muwambe! Muwambe!” Pilato kawalongela, “Msoleni mkamuwambe mna msalaba mwemwe muwenyegho. Sonile bae ghomba lya kumhigha.”
7 Wayahudi wamwidika, “Twetwe tuna Laghitso, na kwa Laghitso alyo kobamighwa yafe, kwaapfila tsakalonga yeye ka Imwana we Imulungu.”
8 Pilato haulike apfi, kapfuka ghendo.
9 Kengila keli mng'anda kamghutsa Yesu, “Angu ulawila kwani?” Lekeni Yesu ng'edike bae.
10 Pilato kamlongela, “Kwolema kulonga na nene? Ng'umanyile bae ka nina uwetso wa kukulekelela au kukuwamba mna msalaba?”
11 Yesu kamwidika, “Ghweghwe kuna uwetso wa kunihigha kwaapfila kwing'ighwa uwetso awo ne Imulungu. Apfo ayula iyangalile kuna ghweghwe kana nzambi ng'ulu ng'ani.”
12 Pilato hayahulike apfi, kabama nzila ya kumlekelela Yesu. Lekeni Wayahudi wadama, “Ung'amlekelela, ghweghwe si sale wa mndewa wa Roma bae! Imunu wowose iyolonga ka imndewa komlema mndewa wa Roma!”
13 Pilato hayahulike apfi, kamghala Yesu kunze, kakala mne ichighoda cha mlamutsi hanu hamanyike ka “Chibwalu che Ghamabwe.” Kwa Chihebulaniya “Gabatsa.”
14 Ikala saa sita nemisi, litsuwa lya kuiyandaa Ipasaka. Pilato kawalongela Wayahudi, “Ayuno ano imndewa wenu!”
15 Lekeni Wayahudi wakemelela, “Mkome! Mkome! Mumuwambe mna msalaba!” Pilato kawaghutsa, “Mwombama nimuwambe imndewa wenu?” Iwatambika wakulu wamwidika, “Twetwe twahela imndewa yungi ila imndewa wa Roma yaliheka!”
16 Kuya Pilato kamlapfa Yesu, kaweng'a wakamuwambe. Kuya asikali wamsola Yesu.
17 Naye kalawa aku kaughala msalaba wake, kughenda hanu hakemighwe Bombwe lya Litwi. Kwa Chihebulaniya hokemighwa Goligota.
18 Baho wamuwamba Yesu mna msalaba, pfipfila tsawawawamba iwanu weli, yumwe ubali ungi na yungi ubali ungi, Yesu haghatighati.
