1 Dale jose dinuka, wamsola Yesu wamgala ha Pilato. 2 Wasonga kumtagusa wolonga, “Tum'vika munhu ino yowagiza wanhu zetu, yowagomesa sambiwamulihe kodi Kaisali,* Kaisali nhegulo yake Mndewa wa Loma. na mwenyego koikema kamba heyo iyo Kilisto, Mndewa.”

3 Pilato kamuuza, “Gweye iyo mndewa wa Wayahudi?”

Yesu kamwidika, “Gweye iyo ulonga avo.”

4 Abaho, Pilato kawalongela wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na dija didale da wanhu, “Siyona mbuli ya kumtagusila munhu ino.”

5 Ila hewo wananahila ng'hani wolonga, “Mafundo gake genula mzahimzahi mwa wanhu wose wa Yudea, kasonga Galilaya na sambi kahano.”

6 Pilato viyahulike gano, kawauza, “Munhu ino kolawa Galilaya?” 7 Viyavitangile goya kamba Yesu kokala yolawa isi yootawala Helode Antipa, kamgala ha Helode, yakalile Yelusalemu kipigiti kija. 8 Helode kadeng'helela ng'hani viyamuwene Yesu, kwavija kakala yohulika mbuli zake, avo kipigiti kitali kakala yolonda kumona. Kakala yotamanila kumona Yesu viyotenda mzonza. 9 Avo Helode kamuuza Yesu mbuli bwando, ila Yesu kamnyamalila. 10 Wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa wakwenhuka, wamtagusa Yesu na lusango. 11 Helode na asikali zake wamtendela mzihaka Yesu na kumgela kinyala, abaho, wam'vaza guo da undewa, ikwisha wam'bweza kabili ha Pilato. 12 Pilato na Helode wakala waihile, ila songela zua dija wakala wambwiga.

13 Pilato kawakema hamoja wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko, wakulu wa isi, na wanhu. 14 Kawalongela, “Mumgala munhu ino kumwangu mulonga kowagiza wanhu. Avo nimpelemba hano hameso genu, sonile mbuli yoyose ihile imumtagusila. 15 Helode na heyo honile mbuli ihile, kileka mana yam'bwezile kumwetu. Haduhu kinhu chochose kihile chayatendile munhu ino kilumbile munhu ino kudanganhika. 16 Avo nolagiza yalanhigwe, abaho, nomuleka yagende na zake.” 17 Kila kipigiti cha Lusona lwa Pasaka Pilato kawafungulilaga mfungigwa imwe.† Nyandiko ziyagwe za umwaka zabule mnhongo wa 17.

18 Dale jose diguta nyangi walonga, “Mkome hiyo! Tufungulile Balaba!” 19 Balaba kakala yafungigwe sama ya mzahimzahi wa kuilema silikali ulawilile mdiwambo na kukoma.

20 Pilato kalonda kumfungula Yesu, avo kalawilila kabili haulongozi wa ididale da wanhu. 21 Ila wagendelela kutoa nyangi, wolonga, “Yawambigwe mumsalaba, yawambigwe mumsalaba!”

22 Pilato kawalongela mwanza wa ikadatu, yolonga, “Mbuli ilihi ihile yaatendile? Nie siyona mbuli yoyose ihile yaatendile ilumbile heyo kudanganhika! Kolanhigwa, abaho, kolekesigwa.”

23 Ila wagendelela kutoa nyangi ng'hani wolonga Yesu kolondigwa yawambigwe mumsalaba. Hakimambukizo, nyangi zao zihuma. 24 Avo Pilato kawatogolela waja iwanhu vija vowokala womulonda Yesu. 25 Avo kawafungulila Balaba iwamulondile, munhu yakalile mkifungo sama ya kugala mzahimzahi wa kuilema silikali na kukoma, na kumgela Yesu mmakono ga asikali, wamtende kamba vowolonda Wayahudi.

26 Viwakalile womgala, wamgoga munhu imwe yokemigwa Simoni, munhu wa isi ya Kilene, yakalile yokwingila mdiwambo yolawa kumgunda. Wamdikwa msalaba, kaupapa hachugu cha Yesu.

27 Dale kulu da wanhu dimkweleleza, mmwanza wao kukala na watwanzi wokala womulilila na kumuyalalila. 28 Yesu kawahindukila kawalongela, “Mweye watwanzi wa Yelusalemu! Sambimunililile nie, ila ililileni wenyego na wanenu, 29 kwavija mazua gokwiza wanhu wokwiza kulonga, ‘Wana mhome watwanzi walibule wana, na waja hawalelile na waja hawakong'heze.’ 30 Kipigiti hicho wanhu wosonga kuilongela migongo, ‘Tulagalile!’ Na vigongo, ‘Tufise!’ 31 Kwavija kamba vinhu kamba vino votendeka mum'biki mbisi, vowaze mum'biki unyalile?”

32 Wanhu wayagwe wabili, wakalile watendaga gehile, vivija na hewo walongozwa wachola kukomigwa hamoja na Yesu. 33 Viwavikile hanhu hokemigwa, “Fulu da Pala,” wamuwamba Yesu mumsalaba hamoja na watenda gehile wabili, imwe kumkono wake wa ukulume na iyagwe kumkono wake wa ukumoso. 34 Yesu kalonga, “Tata, wagele kumgongo kwavija hawagatangile gaja gowotenda.”

Waigolela vivalo vake mkutoa kula. 35 Wanhu wema haja wolola kipigiti wakulu wa Wayahudi viwakalile womtendela uponela, wolonga, “Kawakombola wayagwe, na yaikombole mwenyego kamba heyo iyo Kilisto yasaguligwe na Mulungu.”

36 Asikali vivija wamtendela uponela, wamkwenhukila wamgwelela divai ya ugwadu, 37 wolonga, “Kamba gweye iyo Mndewa wa Wayahudi, ikombole mwenyego!”

38 Hachana ya umsalaba wake wandika vino, “ino iyo mndewa wa wayahudi.”

39 Mtenda gehile imwe yatungikigwe haja kamuliga Yesu yolonga, “Kamba gweye iyo Kilisto, ikombole mwenyego, abaho, utukombole na tweye.”

40 Ila ija mtenda gehile iyagwe kamkomhokela miyage yolonga, “Gweye humdumba Mulungu? Gweye kwa mumgayo kamba heyo. 41 Kumwetu tweye vilumba kwavija tugweleligwa gaja galumbile na gaja gatutendile, ila ino hatendile mbuli yoyose ihile.” 42 Abaho, kamulongela Yesu, “Yesu, ung'humbuke vondawize Muundewa wako.”

43 Yesu kamulongela, “Nokulongela ikweli, lelo kowa hamoja na nie Paladiso.”

44 Viivikile kamba saa sita, ziza diigubika isi yose mbaka saa tisa 45 kwavija zua diziziwala, na idiguo ditungikwe Muing'anda ya Mulungu didegeka vidanga vibili. 46 Yesu kenula dizwi, kalila yolonga, “Tata, mmakono gako noika loho yangu!” Viyeshile kulonga vino, kadanganhika.

47 Ija imkulu wa iwaasikali mia wa Loma kagona gaja galawilile, kamuyenzi Mulungu yolonga, “Kweli, munhu ino kakala mwende!”

48 Wanhu wakalile waiting'hane haja kulola mbuli ija wagona gaja galawilile, wose wabwela ukae yao wokiitoatoa zimhambaga wokiiyalala ng'hani. 49 Wose wakalile wambwiga zake Yesu, hamoja na watwanzi wakalile womkweleleza kulawa Galilaya, wema hatalitali wolola.

50 Kukala na munhu imwe yokemigwa Usufu, yakalile imwe wa wanhu wa Ikitala Kikulu cha Isi ya Wayahudi, kakala mwende wa Mulungu, 51 na hatogole gaja gawalamule. Kakala yolawa kukiwambo cha Wayahudi kikemigwa Alimataya, na kakala youbeta Undewa wa Mulungu. 52 Munhu hiyo kachola ha Pilato kulupula lukuli lwa Yesu. 53 Abaho, kaluhumulusa hasi ulukuli, kaluvaza sanda, abaho, kalugela mdipanga dipukigwe mdibwe, dikalile hadinazikilwa munhu yoyose. 54 Dikala zua da kuisasala na Zua da Mhumulo kwavija Zua da Mhumulo dikala behi kusonga.

55 Waja iwatwanzi, wakalile womkweleleza Yesu kulawa Galilaya, wamkweleleza Usufu. Avo wajona dipanga na avija lukuli lwa Yesu vulwikigwe. 56 Abaho, wabwela mkae zao kusasala vinung'hanung'ha na mavuta ga kunung'hila ga kulubaka lukuli lwa Yesu.
