Yohane 19:13-23

¹³Pilato hayahulike apfi, kamghala Yesu kunze, kakala mne ichighoda cha mlamutsi hanu hamanyike ka “Chibwalu che Ghamabwe.” Kwa Chihebulaniya “Gabatsa.”

¹⁴Ikala saa sita nemisi, litsuwa lya kuiyandaa Ipasaka. Pilato kawalongela Wayahudi, “Ayuno ano imndewa wenu!”

¹⁵Lekeni 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!”

¹⁶Kuya Pilato kamlapfa Yesu, kaweng'a wakamuwambe. Kuya asikali wamsola Yesu.

¹⁷Naye kalawa aku kaughala msalaba wake, kughenda hanu hakemighwe Bombwe lya Litwi. Kwa Chihebulaniya hokemighwa Goligota.

¹⁸Baho wamuwamba Yesu mna msalaba, pfipfila tsawawawamba iwanu weli, yumwe ubali ungi na yungi ubali ungi, Yesu haghatighati.

¹⁹Pilato kandika chitango kachika mna msalaba. Kandika, “Yesu wa Natsareti, Imndewa wa Wayahudi.”

²⁰Wayahudi wengi wachisoma chitango chino, kwaapfila hanu hayawambighwe Yesu kukala habehi na ghumji, na chitango chandikighwa kwa Chihebulaniya, Chilatini na Chigiriki.

²¹Iwatambika wakulu wamlongela Pilato, “Leka kwandika ‘Imndewa wa Wayahudi,’ ila imunu yuno tsakalonga yeye ka imndewa wa Wayahudi.”

²²Pilato kawedika, “Chanyandike, nyandika.”

²³Asikali hawamuwambile Yesu, wasola ghamaghwanda ghake, waghaghola mabughulu mane, chila bughulu kwa asikali yumwe. Pfipfila wasola na lighwanda lyake ing'alisonighwe bae, ilifumighwe kwandusila mchanya mbaka hasi.
