4 UPilaato wáahuma panja khanji, wáshijovela ishipuga sha vaanu vala wáaja, “Puliisi, nisimuhumye kunja kunyeenyu umuunu uyu, baheene mumanye kiija, nisalwaga lujowo loloona kunyaakwe luna ananjile.” 5 Lino vamuhumya uYeesu panja, afwalile injoola ya mimfwa ni nkhansu ya mwalaala. Lino uPilaato wálogola bahawuvalafu wáaja, “Loleeli, umuunu uyo.” 6 AVatambule avakhome na vasulukhali va nanda imbaagule pina vamwajile uYeesu, valyova vaajova, “Mukhomeeleli pa musalaaba, mukhomeeleli pa musalaaba!” Lino uPilaato wávajovela wáaja, “Mutooli omwe yuumwe mumukhomeelele pashaanya pa musalaaba, kwa kiiva one nisalwaga lujowo loloona kunyaakwe luna ananjile.” 7 AVayahuudi vamugomosesa vaajova, “Ose tina ndaji, na kwa ndaji iyo, isakulwa kibudwa, kwa kiiva ikiyikhoona kiija, umwene Lusawo lwa Nguluvi.”^a

8 UPilaato wáganaga kipulikha amaswi ago, wáshilaga kitiila mandu. 9 Lino wáhuluta khanji mu mbalino yaakwe, wámuposa uYeesu wáaja, “Wee muunu owe, uhumile kwi?” Leelo uYeesu asikhavagomoseese hata liswi limo. 10 Ino uPilaato wáaja, “Kwashi usikinigomosesa? Wuli, usiimanya kiija nina wutawulilwa wa kikudindulila, khanji na uwa kikukhomeelela pa musalaaba?” 11 UYeesu wámugomosesa uPilaato wáaja, “Owe ndi usaava nu wutawulilwa wowoona kunyangu, nda usipeliilwe nu Nguluvi. Leelo umuunu yula yuna aniviishile mu mawokho gaakho, ana wunansi wukhome mandu kishila uwunansi waakho.” 12 Ino uPilaato pina wápulikha ago, wáajesa kisakula insila ya kimudindulila uYeesu, leelo aVayahuudi valyova khanji vaajova, “Nda umudindulile umuunu uyo, ino owe usili mumanyi wa Kayisaali, umutwa wa Valuumi. Umuunu yoyoona yuna ikiyigaha kiija mutwa, ikimukhaana umutwa wa Valuumi.” 13 UPilaato pina wápulikha amaswi ago, wámuleeta uYeesu panja, wáaluta kikhala pa shitengo sha kihijila, uluvala luna valutambulaga Luutu lwa Mangʼanga (ilitaawa ili kwa Shihebulaniya viijova Gabata).

14 Lukhandi luhaavi lwa masala ga mutanda ndeeni paminsi, mu lisiku lya kiyipinyangania kwa kiiva ya shiwungo sha Pasaakha. UPilaato wáshijovela ishipuga sha vaanu wáaja, “Loleeli, umutwa weenyu uyu!” 15 Aveene valyova vaajova, “Mubuda, mubuda! Mukhomeeleli pa musalaaba!” UPilaato wávaposa wáaja, “Wuli, mwisakula nimukhomeelele pa musalaaba umutwa weenyu?” AVatambule avakhome vamugomosesa vaajova, “Ose tisiina umutwa uyunji, leelo tinawo mwene duguli Kayisaali, umutwa wa Valuumi!” 16 Lino kuwudugo uPilaato wámutawula uYeesu mu mawokho gaanave, baheene vamukhomeelele pa musalaaba.

Lino avasulukhali vamutoola uYeesu na kiluta nawo. 17 Wásumula umusalaaba gwakwe, wáwuukha mu lijumbi, wáaluta uluvala luna lutambulwa kwa Shihebulaniya Goligota, uluganulo lwakwe, Lipangalasa lya Mutwe. 18 Vaganaga kifikha pala, vamukhomeelela uYeesu pa musalaaba. Uluvala lulula, vavakhomelelaga avaanu avanji vavili, shila muunu pa musalaaba gwakwe. Yumo ulubali lwa kundiilo, uyunji ulubali lwa kunshiji.

19 UPilaato wálajisa kiija, gayandikhwe amaswi na kiviikhwa pa musalaaba gwa Yeesu, gina giijova,

20 Amayandikhwa ago gakhayandiikhwe mu shilogolo sha Shihebulaniya, Valuumi na Vayunaani. AVayahuudi vinshi vakhandi viyimba amayandikhwa ago, kwa kiiva uluvala ulo luna vamukhomelelaga pa musalaaba, pakhandi nkholeela ni Yelusalemu. 21 Lino avatambule avakhome vamujovela uPilaato kiija, “Usikhayandikhaga kiija, ‘Uyu yu Mutwa wa Vayahuudi,’ leelo uyandishe kiija, ‘Umuunu uyu akhayikhoonile kiija, umwene yu Mutwa wa Vayahuudi.’ ” 22 UPilaato wávagomosesa wáaja, “Ndaali, amayandikhwa gasigale shiisho ngaja shina nayandikha.”

23 Avasulukhali vaganile kimukhomeelela uYeesu pa musalaaba, vatoola amenda gaakwe, vaagava fihupi fina. Shila musulukhali wátoola shihupi shaakwe. Khanji, vatoola inkhansu yaakwe. Inkhansu iyi yikhandi yisushiilwe, vagahilaga shisepe shimo hela sha mwenda, yisikhandi yihoniilwe hata pamo. 24 Lino vapulinkhanaga vaajova, “Tisikhademulaga inkhansu iyi, leelo tipulinkhane kiija, yive ya naani.” Ago gasenjekhaga kiija, gakwilane gina gayandiikhwe mu Mayandikhwa aManofu kiija, “Vagavanaga amenda gangu, na kipulinkhana ulwa kitoola inkhansu yangu.”^b Gageene gina vagahaga avasulukhali.

25 Lino vakhandi vakwali avashimaayi avanji vana, vina vakhandi vayiimile nkholeela nu musalaaba gwa Yeesu. Mu vashimaayi awo akhandi akwali umaayi wa Yeesu, umaame wa maayi wa Yeesu, uMaliya umudala wa Kileopa, nu Maliya uwa ku Magidala. 26 UYeesu pina wámwaga umaayi waakwe, khanji nu mumanyisiwa yuna akhandi amugeene mandu ayiimile nkholeela nu maayi waakwe, wáaja, “Wee maayi wangu, loleela uyo yumwene mwanaakho.” 27 Khanji wámujovela umumanyisiwa yula wáaja, “Loleela, uyo yu maayi waakho.” Lino kihuma uluhaavi lulula umumanyisiwa yula, wáwuukha nu maayi wa Yeesu, wáaluta kikhala nawo mu nanda yaakwe.

28 Ino, uYeesu wáamanya kiija wáamala kisenga insengo yaakwe yoona. Ino wálogola wáaja, “Niiwona nkhawu ya malenga.” Ndeeno, gakwilana gina gayandiikhwe mu Mayandikhwa aManofu.^c 29 Pa luvala pala, pakhandi ni shombo shina vamemyaga idivaayi inkhali yina yikhaliipe. Lino vatoola isifongo vajabikha mu divaayi iyo, vaviikha mu lilansi, vamutwalila uYeesu ku mulomo. 30 UYeesu pina wáajesa idivaayi iyo, wálogola wáaja, “Insengo yangu yaasila!” Baheene wásungamya umutwe, wáafwa.

31 Likhandi lisiku lya Ijumaa ilisiku lya kiyandaala iSabaato,^d khanji iSabaato yila yikhandi lisiku likhome kishila insiku isinji.^e Avakhome va Vayahuudi vasikhandi visakula umufimba gusigale pa musalaaba mu lijuva lya Sabaato. Ndeeno vaaluta kwa Pilaato, vamulomba kiija, avasulukhali valute vavadeenye amagulu^f avaanu vina vavakhomelelaga, na kiwuusa amafimba gaanave pa musalaaba. 32 Lino vaaluta, vamudeenya amagulu uwa wutasi nu wa wuvili vina vavakhomelelaga lumo nu Yeesu. 33 Leelo pina viiluta kwa Yeesu, vaawona afwile, ndeeno vasikhamudeenyile amagulu. 34 Leelo umusulukhali yumonga wámuhoma uYeesu ni malala mu luvafu. Baheene yaahuma idanda na malenga. 35 Imola isi siyandiikhwe nu muunu yuna akhandi ikigaaga gina gakhandi gisenjekha. Aga gina ikigalogola ga shiyooli, khanji woope iimanya kiija, gina ilogola ga shiyooli. Ino ndeeno na yuumwe, muhuviilile. 36 Amaswi ago gasenjekhaga, baheene gakwilane gina gayandiikhwe mu Mayandikhwa aManofu kiija, “Kusiina ilifupa lyakwe lina likhadeenywa.”^g 37 Khanji aMayandikhwa aManofu giija, “Vakhayinsa kimuloleela yuna vamuhomaga ni milala.”^h

38 Ago pina gashilile, wáyinsa umuunu yumonga ilitaawa lyakwe yu Yusufu, yuna wáhumile mu lijumbi lya Alimataaya. Umuunu uyu akhandi mumanyisiwa wa Yeesu, leelo kwa wufiho hela, kwa kiiva akhandi ikivatiila avakhome va Vayahuudi. Lino umuunu yula wáaluta kwa Pilaato, wámulomba kiija, atoole umufimba gwa Yeesu agusiile. UPilaato wámutawulila. Baheene uYusufu wáaluta, wáguwuusa umufimba gula.

39 UNikodeemu, yuna uluhaavi lumonga wálutile kwa Yeesu pa shilo,ⁱ wáyinsa na mafuta ga mununsi umunofu, gina gahansiiwe nu wubani nu mugoda ugwa kisivila umufimba gusikhananjikhaga, gakhandi ngaja kilo mashumi gatatu ndeeni. 40 Avaanu vavili vala vatoola umufimba gwa Yeesu, vaguvilinjisa amenda aga kisiilila, vagupakha amafuta gina ginunshilila wunofu mandu kilingana ni ngʼoma ya Vayahuudi iya kisiila avaanu. 41 Uluvala luna vamukhomelelaga pa musalaaba uYeesu, gukhandi gukwali umugunda. Mu mugunda mula likhandi likwali ilijooja^j lina vasinajelaje kimusiila umuunu yoyoona. 42 Ilisiku ilyo, likhandi lisiku lya Vayahuudi kiyipinyanga mu Sabaato. Kwa kiiva ya ilyo, vamusiila uYeesu mu lijooja lila, kwa kiiva likhandi nkholeela.
