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.
19 Pilato kandika chitango kachika mna msalaba. Kandika, “Yesu wa Natsareti, Imndewa wa Wayahudi.”
20 Wayahudi wengi wachisoma chitango chino, kwaapfila hanu hayawambighwe Yesu kukala habehi na ghumji, na chitango chandikighwa kwa Chihebulaniya, Chilatini na Chigiriki.
21 Iwatambika wakulu wamlongela Pilato, “Leka kwandika ‘Imndewa wa Wayahudi,’ ila imunu yuno tsakalonga yeye ka imndewa wa Wayahudi.”
22 Pilato kawedika, “Chanyandike, nyandika.”
23 Asikali 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.
