1 Muchifumofumo, bapati babapayizi bakabungana abaalu abalembi abasilutwe babbooma lya Judiya. Bakamwanga bamutola. Akumupeda kuli Payileti.
Early in the morning, the chief priests met together with the elders and scribes and the entire Jewish council. Then they bound Jesus and led him away. They handed him over to Pilate.
2 Payileti wakabuzya kuti, “Nduwe Mwami waba Juda na?” Wakasandula kuti, “Wamba”.
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “You say so.”
3 Bapayizi bapati bakali kumutamikizya zintu zyiingi.
The chief priests were presenting many charges against Jesus.
4 Alubo Payileti wakabuzya, “Tosanduli na?” Langa kuvula zintu zyiingi nzibali kukutamikizya!”
Pilate again asked him, “Do you give no answer? See how many charges they are bringing against you!”
5 Pesi Jesu takwe naakamusandula, mpawo eecho chakamugambya Payileti.
But Jesus no longer answered Pilate, and that amazed him.
6 Kuchindi chapobwe, Payileti wakaba angunywida umwi wabange, mwange ngubatanoli bakumbila.
Now at the time of the feast, Pilate usually released to them one prisoner, a prisoner they requested.
7 Mpawo kwakali mwalumi utegwa Bbanabbasi muntolongo kalamwi abapati bakali amilandu yabujayi muchindi chalupapi.
There with the rebels in prison, among the murderers held for their part in the rebellion, was a man named Barabbas.
8 Makamu akaza kuli Payileti mpawo bakatalika kukumbila kuti achite echo nchakali kunoonga wabachitila.
The crowd came to Pilate and began to ask him to do for them as he had done in the past.
9 Payileti wakabasandula wati, “Muyanda kuti ndimwangunwide Mwami waba Juda na?”
Pilate answered them and said, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10 We wakalizi kuti nkambo kabbivwe bapayizi bapati nchibakaaba Jesu kulinguwe.
For he knew that it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
11 Pesi bapayizi bapati bakasungilizya makamu kuti balilile kwangununwa kwaBbanabbasi.
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to cry out that Barabbas should be released instead.
12 Payileti wakasandula lubo wakati, “Mpoo ndichite biyeni aMwami wabaJuda?”
Pilate answered them again and said, “What then should I do with the King of the Jews?”
13 Bakawompolola lubo, “Ngagankaminwe!”
They shouted again, “Crucify him!”
14 Payileti wakabambila kuti, “Mulandunzi ngwakachita?” Pesi bakayinkilila kunembo akoompolola kuti, “Amumugankamine”.
Pilate said to them, “What wrong has he done?” But they shouted more and more, “Crucify him.”
15 Payileti wakayanda kukutisika makamu, elyo wakabangunwida Bbanabbasi. Wakamupenzya Jesu mpawo wamupeda kuti akagankaminwe.
Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, so he released Barabbas to them. He scourged Jesus and then handed him over to be crucified.

The soldiers led him inside the courtyard (which is the government headquarters), and they called together the whole cohort of soldiers.

They put a purple robe on Jesus, and they twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on him.

They began to salute him and say, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19 Bakali kumumuma mumtwe atete mpawo bakamuswida mate. Bamufugamina akumukotamikila mitwe.

When they had mocked him, they took off of him the purple robe and put his own garments on him, and then led him out to crucify him.

In the same way the chief priests were mocking him with each other, along with the scribes, and said, “He saved others, but he cannot save himself.
32 Akube kuti Kilisito, Mwami wa Izilayeli, aseluka lino achingano ikuti tubone akusyoma.” Abalabo bakagankaminwa amwi anguwe bakamuseka.
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe,” and those who were crucified with him also taunted him.
