Yohane 19:8-19

⁸Pilato haulike apfi, kapfuka ghendo.

⁹Kengila keli mng'anda kamghutsa Yesu, “Angu ulawila kwani?” Lekeni Yesu ng'edike bae.

¹⁰Pilato kamlongela, “Kwolema kulonga na nene? Ng'umanyile bae ka nina uwetso wa kukulekelela au kukuwamba mna msalaba?”

¹¹Yesu kamwidika, “Ghweghwe kuna uwetso wa kunihigha kwaapfila kwing'ighwa uwetso awo ne Imulungu. Apfo ayula iyangalile kuna ghweghwe kana nzambi ng'ulu ng'ani.”

¹²Pilato 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!”

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.”
