1 Kakusasani luli, bapurisita bakulwana choku kopana hamwiina ni bakulwana ni bañoli mi ni khuta yonse ya Majuda. Linu chi basumina Jesu ni ku mutwala. Chi ba mu tambika kwa Pilato.
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 Pilato na mu buza, “Njiwe u Simwine wa Majuda?” Cha mwitaba, “Uwe njo wamba bulyo.”
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “You say so.”
3 Bapurisita bakulwana ba bali ku hambiza Jesu milandu mingi.
The chief priests were presenting many charges against Jesus.
4 Hape Pilato cha mubuza, “Ko ni tabi? Bone milandu ku bungi yi ba leta ni ku ku hambiliza!”
Pilate again asked him, “Do you give no answer? See how many charges they are bringing against you!”
5 Kono Jesu kana abali ku chi mwi taba Pilato, mi iyo ndaba ni ya mukomokisa.
But Jesus no longer answered Pilate, and that amazed him.
6 Linu mu inako ya mukiti, Pilato a vali ku lukululanga kuvantu chifosi cho nke, chifosi chi vavali ku li kumbililanga.
Now at the time of the feast, Pilate usually released to them one prisoner, a prisoner they requested.
7 Mwateni ni vasandukile muntolongo, mukati ka vehayi va vakwatilwe ka kuva ni chiyemba mu kusandukila, kuvena mukwame ya vali ku sumpwa Banabasi.
There with the rebels in prison, among the murderers held for their part in the rebellion, was a man named Barabbas.
8 Vungi vwa vantu chi vweza kwa Pilato mi chi va tangisa ku mu kumbila ku va pangila sina mwa va pangililanga inako yonse.
The crowd came to Pilate and began to ask him to do for them as he had done in the past.
9 Cha ve tava Pilato mi nati kuti, “Musaka kuti ime ni mi lukululele Simwine wa Majuda?”
Pilate answered them and said, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10 Kakuti a vezi kuti i vali che vaka lya muna vapurista vakulwana ha va va hi Jesu kwali.
For he knew that it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
11 Kono vapurista vakulwana chi va shongeleketa vungi vwa vantu kuhuwa ahulu kuti Vanavasi a lukululwe.
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to cry out that Barabbas should be released instead.
12 Pilato chave tava hape ni niku wamba, Chinzi cwale chini swanera kupanga ni Mulena wa Majuda”
Pilate answered them again and said, “What then should I do with the King of the Jews?”
13 Chiva huwereza hape, “Mu kokotele!”
They shouted again, “Crucify him!”
14 Pilato cha wamba kuvali, “Mulandu nzi wa tenda?” Kono chi ba huwa ahula ni ahulu, “Mu mu kokotele.”
Pilate said to them, “What wrong has he done?” But they shouted more and more, “Crucify him.”
15 Ka kuti Pilato abali ku saka ku zuwisa hande vantu, mi cho ku lukulula Banabasi. Cha shupa Jesu mi ni ku mubaha kuti ba mu kokotele.
Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, so he released Barabbas to them. He scourged Jesus and then handed him over to be crucified.
16 Masole chi ba mutwala mukati ke ilapa (iri muleneñi wo muvuso), mi chi ba sumpila masole bonse hamwina.
The soldiers led him inside the courtyard (which is the government headquarters), and they called together the whole cohort of soldiers.
17 Chi ba zwatika Jesu chizwato chisubile mi chi ba zingela ihusi ya miya mi chi bai mu zwatika ku mutwi.
They put a purple robe on Jesus, and they twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on him.
18 Linu chi ba tangisa ku mu lumelisa ni bati, “Osho, Simwine wa Majuda!”
They began to salute him and say, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19 Chi ba mukaba ha mutwi ka luhe ni ku muswila. Ba ba kuchola mazwi abo habusu bwa kwe ku mukuteka.
They struck his head with a reed staff and they spat on him. They bent their knees before him to pretend to worship him.
20 Mi linu ha chi ba mana ku mushubula, chi ba mu chupula chi zwato chi subila ni ku mu zwatika za kwe zi zwato, mi linu chi ba mu zwisa ku mutwala ku ka mu kokotela.
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.
21 Chi ba bika ya bali kulihila fela mu musebezi, ya bali ku ka zwa mu nkanda, mukwame ya bali ku sumpwa Simoni wa Sirene (isi wa Alexander ni Rufusi); chi ba mu hambiliza ku kulika cifapano cha Jesu.
A certain man, Simon of Cyrene, was coming in from the country (he was the father of Alexander and Rufus), and they forced him to carry his cross.
22 Masole chi ba twala Jesu ha cibaka chi sumpwa Gologota (i talusa kuti Cibaka cha katendere).
The soldiers brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which interpreted means, “Place of a Skull”).

They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not drink it.
24 Ni ba mu kokotela mi ci bali kauhanyeza zi zwato za kwe ka ku sumikiza kwi ziba kuti uzu lisole ni lisole ka hinde nzi.
They crucified him and divided up his garments by casting lots to determine what piece each soldier would take.

It was the third hour when they crucified him.
26 Ha chishupo ku ba ñoletwa indaba za ku mu lwisa, “Simwine wa Majuda.”
On a sign they wrote the charge against him, “The king of the Jews.”
27 Ku ba kokotelwe naye basa bobele, umwina ku malyo mi zumwi ku ma monso akwe.
With him they crucified two robbers, one on the right of him and one on his left.

Those who passed by insulted him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

31 Mu nzila iswana vapurisita vakulwana va vali ku mushuvula mukaati kavo navo, hamwina ni vañoli ni va cho, “A vali kuhaza vamwi, kono iye ka lihazi mwine.
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 Musiye Kilesite, Simwine wa Isilaele a zwe a suke ha chifapano hwa hanu, kuti tu mu vone mi tu zumine.” Mi va va kokotelwe naye na vo va vali ku mu sheununa.
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.
33 Mi nako imane iyanza ha ikwana, keerima ni ka wumba inkaanda yonse mbwiita che inako yoku mana iyanza ni tone.
At the sixth hour, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 Mi inako ya kumana iyanza ni tone, Jesu cha huwa ka linzwi li zuweka ahulu “Eloi, Eloi, la masabakatani?” I talusa kuti, Ireeza Wangu, Ireeza wangu, Wani siila nzi?”
At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
35 Vamwi kwa va vo va va ku zimena he mbali, chi va zuwa mi ni vati, “Muvwene, cha sumpa Elia.”
Some of those standing by heard his words and said, “Look, he is calling for Elijah.”

Someone ran, put sour wine on a sponge, put it on a reed staff, and gave it to him to drink. The man said, “Let us see if Elijah comes to take him down.”
37 Mi Jesu cha huwa ka linzwi li zuweka ahulu mi cho kufwa.
Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and died.
38 Isira lya mu itempele chi lya haluka tobele kutangiseza ku iwulu kutwala hansi.
The curtain of the temple was split in two from the top to the bottom.

When the centurion who stood and faced Jesus saw that he had died in this way, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God.”

Joseph of Arimathea came there. He was a respected member of the council, who was waiting for the kingdom of God. He boldly went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
