1 Nikuemao Pilaato yaesana Yesu aswawukwe enkowa. 2 Awa-iiye waazinga engata eya amawua wateera Yesu ku omutwe ki ekigudu ekia owuyaayi, nikwo wamuingizizia enguwo endiire eya igondo enzakanyu-kanyu.* Awaami waaingizianga ewigudu ewiafwananga engata ewialongwanga ne ewiuma ewia amasendi amangi ino. Awantu wano waaingizizia Yesu ekigudu ne enguwo eno okumusuusia. 3 Waamugiako wamulaga ne ekirega watino, “Oikaziwue, Omwami owa *Awayaudi!” ne eno wamukuba wukalu ku owueni.

4 Pilaato yatanika kandi airana ku Awayaudi awalaga otino, “Muwurre, mufumia awaazeko kugera mumanye mbwe kiwulao-uwula ekiwiiwi ekia mutuukiireko ekisugre ne ekiina.” Luuk 23:4; Yowa 18:38 5 Olwa Yesu yafuma enze na aingiizie engata eya amawua ne enguwo endiire eya igondo ebuluu erimo owuakanyu-kanyu eria, Pilaato yawalaga otino, “Omwene nguno, mumuwone!”

6 Olwa awakangasi awa *awoozia alala na awarinzi awa *ekaalu waamuwona-uwona watino, waaogerera wukalu watino, “*Muwambe ku omusalaaba! Muwambe!”

Ni Pilaato yawairania otino, “Aweene mumutoole mugie mumuwambe ni muagala, aeniki inze ngʼankamutuukrako owuwi owua akorre owusugre ne ekiina.” Yowa 18:31

7 Ni iwo waamuirania ni wawoola watino, “Turi ne endagirra ewoola mbwe omuntu-umuntu ki iye owoola mbwe ari Omuzia owa Katonda paka aitwe.” Awal 24:16; Mari 14:61–64; Yowa 5:18

8 Olwa Pilaato yawuurra amangʼana ago, owuti wuamuamba ino. 9 Kutio yairana mu enyumba ni Yesu kandi amuwuuzia otino, “Oiinyu aa oemera na ai?” Ni Yesu ngakamuirania ekintu. Kuno kwagera Pilaato amuwuuzia Mari 14:60–61; 15:5 10 otino, “Owuo olowa okugamba-gamba ni inze? Ngomanyire mbwe ni inze ori na amaani aga okukulekula ogie, namba okukuwamba ku *omusalaaba?”

11 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Kuweeko mbwe amaani ago ngagakakuemera ku igulu, iwue okatoorrei amaani ku inze? Kutio onteere mu amakono gaao nio ori no owuoni owukirre owuao.”

12 Okuemera ao Pilaato yakola wukalu ino okulekula Yesu, na Awayaudi waagia emberi okuogerera wukalu watino, “No omulekuule-ulekula agie, kane ngori omwiko owa *Kaisaari aeniki omuntu-umuntu owoola mbwe ari omwami, ngatiire Kaisaari omwami owa Rooma.” Luuk 23:2; Yowa 18:37; Awat 17:7

13 Olwa Pilaato yawurra otio, yafumia Yesu enze nikwo aikala ku entewe eya ewiina wikengerwa, asi aetwa mbwe Olwanyi olwa Iwaale (oluetwa mu omunwa ogwa Awayaudi mbwe Gabaata). 14 Wuawanga owuire owua okuikagra *Sabato eyawanga ku omudiira ogwa omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka, mu enyinga ezigia ikumi ni iwiri kunkio.† Olugiriiki luwoola mbwe zino ziawanga enyinga mukaaga. Ano Yowaana akola ne embalo eya enyinga ezia owuire ezia Awaruumi eziawanga enyinga ikumi ni iwiri. Pilaato yalaga Awayaudi otino, “Omwami iinyu nguno!” Mari 15:42; Luuk 23:54; Yowa 19:31, 42

15 Ni iwo waaogerera wukalu watino, “Aitwe aemeo! Aitwe aemeo! Mumuwambe ku omusalaaba!” Pilaato yawawuuzia otino, “Muagala tuwambe omwami iinyu?” Na awakangasi awa awoozia waamuirania watino, “Ifwe tuwula no omwami wundi ogawuuke ni Kaisaari.” 16 Nikuemao Pilaato yata Yesu mu amakono gaawu wagie wamuwambe ku omusalaaba.

17 Kutio, waafuma wagia ni Yesu na agingre omusalaaba ogwa yagianga okuwambrwako omwene nawuno watuuka asi aetwa mbwe asi aa Ekiyanga ekia Omutwe, ni mu Oluibrania mbwe Goligootha. 18 Ao nio waamuwambra agati ya awantu wawiri, omulala nyakukono okumosi no owundi nyakukono okusaaza.

19 Pilaato yafumia amangʼana mbwe ibaawu riteewue kungulu ku omusalaaba erijojerweko mbwe: yesu omunazareeti, omwami owa awayaudi. 20 Awayaudi awangi waarisoma aeniki aa Yesu yawambrwa yawanga a-ampi no omugizi kandi amangʼana gano gaajojwa mu Oluibrania, Olulatiini no Olugiriiki. 21 Awakangasi awa awoozia awa Awayaudi waaira amaziga gaawu ku Pilaato ni wamulaga watino, “Yaaya, otajoja mbwe ‘Omwami owa Awayaudi’ ni joja mbwe omuntu ono yawoolanga mbwe ari omwami owa Awayaudi.”

22 Ni Pilaato yawairania otino, “Ekia miire okujoja, miire okujoja!”

23 Awa-iiye waavuula Yesu enguwo nikwo wamuwamba ku omusalaaba. Ni waamala okukola otio, waatoola enguwo ziae wazigawana aa kane, kugere omulala ki omulala ku iwo atuukre. Enguwo eyasigala ne eya munsi eyawanga eya ekiraka ekilala eki-ambaane okuemera kungulu paka ansi.

24 Okukigawa kwawakira kutio waawona mbwe wakube ensiiti wawone ogitoola agati yaawu.

Okwo kwaikola okutuusia *endagano ewoola mbwe, “Waagawana enguwo ziange agati yaawu kandi wakubra enguwo ziange ensiiti.”† Zabu 22:18 Kutio kino nikio awa-iiye awo waakola.

25 Kwatuukra Maaria ngʼinwawu Yesu, ni ngʼinalaga Yesu, ni Maaria muka Kilopaasi, alala ni Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala ni waimeriire ampi no omusalaaba ogwa Yesu yawambwako. Mari 15:40–41; Luuk 8:2–3 26 Olwa Yesu yawona ngʼinwae no omulonzi owayawanga na agonziizie ino na aemereere ampi ao, yalaga ngʼina otino, “Ngʼinoifu, omuzia waao nguno.” Yowa 13:23 27 Yairana kandi alaga omulonzi waae oyo mbwe, “Ngʼinwao nguno.” Okuemera ao omulonzi oyo yatoola ngʼinwawu Yesu amenya nae omwae.

28 Yesu yawanga na amanyire mbwe ewintu wiona ewia yasugananga akorrwe wiawanga ni wiwuere kandi kugere endagano etuuke kuwuene, yawoola otino, “Mpurra owulwo.” 29 Awa-iiye waatoola amalwa amalulu pe agaawanga ao, waingiziamo esiponji mala eizula na amalwa ago. Nikuemao waagisiwa ku ekiti ekia omuti oguetwa mbwe Aisoopu, wairra Yesu ku omunwa mbwe anywe.‡ Aisoopu no omuti ogufwana ni ituutu eria Awayaudi waakolanga nario okuieruyia. Zabu 22:15; 69:21 30 Olwa Yesu yamala okugagusa, yawoola otino, “Ewintu wiona wiwuere.” Nikuemao yaisia omutwe kandi omwoyo gwae gugia.

31 Wuawanga owuire owua okuikagra Sabato kandi enkio walwo wuagianga okuwa owuire owua Sabato owutiirwe ino. Awayaudi ngawakaagalanga mbwe emiwiri egia awafu girekwe enze nyanga olwa Sabato. Kutio waagia ku Pilaato okumusawa mbwe amagulu gaawu gavunwe, wafwe wuangu, kugere emiwiri giawu giisiziwue ansi gieme ku emisalaaba. Owuiz 21:22–23 32 Kutio awa-iiye waagia wavuna amagulu aga awantu wawiri awaawambwa ni Yesu waria. 33 No olwa waatuuka ku Yesu, waatuukra na amiire okukewa enkolo afwire, kutio ngawakamuvuna amagulu. 34 Omulala ku awa-iiye yamufumuta ni ifumo mu embavu, amasaai na amanzi gafugika amangi kalala. 1Yow 5:6 35 Owawona ewintu wino ni wiikola omwene nio ogamba-gambre ku amangʼana gano kandi ewia awoorre wiri kuwuene. Agafumiizie kugera iwue ogawurra oona oganye ku Yesu.§ Omuntu oyo yawanga Yowaana, owajoja ebuuki eno. Yowa 21:24 36 Gano gaaikola kugere amangʼana agaajojwa mu endagano mbwe, “Namba ekilala ku ewigumba wiae ngawirivunwa”† Zabu 34:20 gatuuke kuwuene. Okuf 12:46; Emba 9:12 37 Lwona mala kiomo endagano indi yoona ewoola mbwe, “Wariwarra owa waafumuta ni ifumo.” Zaka 12:10; Zabu 22:16; Owus 1:7

38 Nikuemao Yoseefu awaemanga Arimathea kandi owawanga omulonzi owa Yesu owuiwisi, aeniki yatianga Awayaudi, yagia asawa Pilaato omuwiri ogwa Yesu agie aguawre kandi Pilaato yamuganyira. Kutio, yaaza atoola omuwiri ogwa Yesu agia nagwo. Yowa 9:22 39 Yawanga ni Nikodeemo, omuntu owa nyanga lundi yagia ku Yesu owuire oria. Nikodeemo yareeta amavuta no omuti ogwa okurinda omuwiri ogwa omufu kandi ewiwunya esaami egikasuga ekiilo amakumi asatu ni iwiri. Yowa 3:1 40 Waatoola emiti na amavuta agawunya esaami ago wafuka ku omuwiri ogwo nikwo wagutoola waguwasania mu ekitambaaya ekia enguwo, kiomo enkola eya Awayaudi eya owuawizi efwanana. Yowa 11:44 41 Asi aa Yesu yawambwa ao yawangao omusiri ogwawangamo iwuuta iyia eria omuntu wundi yawanga na akiari okuawirwamo. 42 Omwo nimwo omwa waaingizia omuwiri ogwa Yesu aeniki yawanga ampi kandi lwona wuawanga owuire owua okuikagra Sabato.
