1 Kwathi khonokho ekuseni kakhulu abapristi abakhulu benza umhlangano kanye labadala lababhali, lomphakathi wonke, bambopha uJesu bamqhuba bamnikela kuPilatu.

2 UPilatu wasembuza wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? Wasemphendula wathi kuye: Uyatsho wena.
Pilatu wunyuvula: —Ngeyo widi Ntinu wu Bayuda? Yesu wumvutudila: —Ngeyo veka tubidi buawu!
3 Abapristi abakhulu basebemmangalela ngezinto ezinengi; kodwa yena kaphendulanga lutho.
Bosi bapfumu banganga Nzambi zimvubudila mambu mawombo.
4 UPilatu wasebuya embuza, wathi: Kawuphenduli lutho yini? Khangela, zingaki izinto abazifakazayo ezimelana lawe.
Pilatu wunyuvula diaka: —Wulendi vutula kadi diambu ko? Wulembo wi mambu momo balembo kumfundila?
5 Kodwa uJesu kabesaphendula lutho, waze wamangala uPilatu.
Vayi Yesu kasia vutula diaka kadi diambu dimosi ko. Buna Pilatu wusimina ngolo.
6 Langomkhosi wayebakhululela isibotshwa esisodwa, loba yisiphi abasicelayo.
Kifu kiba yawu mu thangu nyengo, Pilatu wuba totulanga mutu wumosi mu nloko, woso mutu wuba nlombongo kuidi batu.
7 Kwakukhona umuntu othiwa nguBarabasi, owayebotshiwe lalabo ababevukele umbuso laye, ababebulele ekuvukeleni umbuso.
Vayi mutu wumosi wuba mu nloko, dizina diandi Balabasi, wukangu va kimosi ayi bakundi bandi bu batotula khindu. Muna khindu beni bavondila mutu.
8 Ixuku laselimemeza laqala ukucela ukuthi enze njengalokho ayehlezi ekwenza kubo.
Nkangu wu batu wuyamikina, wunlomba kavanga banga bobo keta ku bavangilanga.
9 UPilatu wasebaphendula, wathi: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele iNkosi yamaJuda yini?
Pilatu wuba yuvula: —Lutidi ndilutotudila Ntinu wu Bayuda e?
10 Ngoba wayekwazi ukuthi ngomona abapristi abakhulu bamnikele.
Bila wuzaba mboti ti bapfumu banganga Nzambi zinyekudila Yesumu diambu di kikhenene.
11 Kodwa abapristi abakhulu bavusa ixuku, ukuthi kungcono alikhululele uBarabasi.
Vayi bapfumu banganga Nzambi zikambisila nkangu wu batu ti wulomba katotula Balabasi.
12 UPilatu wasephendula wathi futhi kubo: Pho lifuna ngimenzeni lo elithi uyiNkosi yamaJuda?
Pilatu wuba yuvula e? —A vayi mbi lutidi phangila mutu wowo luntedilanga ntinu wu Bayuda?
13 Basebememeza futhi bathi: Mbethele!
Babo babuela yamikina: —Wumbanda va dikulusi!
14 Kodwa uPilatu wathi kubo: Ngoba wenze ububi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu bathi: Mbethele!
Pilatu wuba yuvula: —Diambu mbi di mbimbi kavengi e? Vayi baluta yamikina ngolo: —Wumbanda va dikulusi!
15 Khona uPilatu ethanda ukukholisa ixuku, wabakhululela uBarabasi; kodwa wamnikela uJesu, esemtshaye ngesiswepu, ukuthi abethelwe.
Pilatu wuzola monisa nkangu wu batu khini, diawu kabatotudila Balabasi. Bu kamana zubisa Yesu bikoti ayi wuba yekudila niandi muingi bambanda va dikulusi.
16 Abebutho basebemngenisa phakathi, egumeni, eliyindlu yombusi, basebebizela ibutho lonke ndawonye,
Masodi manata Yesu ku luphangu, buangu kioki beti sambisila batu, bakutikisa masodi moso.
17 bamgqokisa okuyibubende, sebeluke umqhele wameva bamethesa,
Bamvuika yunga kimbuaki. Buna bamana vanga phu ki kipfumu ki zitsendi; bamvuika kiawu ku ntu.
18 baqala ukumbingelela besithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda!
Buna bamvana mboti: —Mbote, ntinu wu Bayuda!
19 Batshaya ikhanda lakhe ngomhlanga, bamkhafulela amathe, baguqa ngamadolo bamkhonza.
Baba kunzubanga nti ku ntu, banlobudila madita ayi bamfukiminaayi baba kumvananga minzitusu.
20 Sebemklolodele, bamhlubula okuyibubende, bamgqokisa ezakhe izembatho. Basebemusa phandle ukuze bambethele.
Buna bamana kunsekinina, bamvula yunga beni kimbuaki ayibamvuika minledi miandi; bosi bannata ku nganda muingi bambanda va dikulusi.
21 Babamba ngamandla omunye owayesedlula othiwa nguSimoni umKurene, evela emaphandleni, uyise kaAleksandro loRufusi, ukuthi athwale isiphambano sakhe.
Mutu wumosi muisi Silene, dizina diandi Simoni, dise di Alekizandele ayi Lufusi, wuba ku nsitu. Vioka kuandi kaba mviokila mu nzila beni. Vayi masodi buna mammona, mankuika kanata dikulusi di Yesu.

Banata Yesu va buangu kintedulungu “Ngolongota”. Tsundu Ngolongota “buangu ki mvesi wu ntu.”
23 Basebemnika iwayini lixutshaniswe lenhlaka ukuthi alinathe; kodwa kalemukelanga.
Kuna bamvanina vinu kisobokoso ayi mila muingi kanua, vayi kasia kinua ko.
24 Sebembethele, babelana izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngazo, ukuthi ngamunye uzathathani.
Bu bambanda va dikulusi, bakabana minledi miandi, babudila miawutsombo mu diambu di zaba miomi kadika mutu kafueti tambula.
25 Kwakulihola lesithathu, njalo bambethela.
Yiba nduka-nduka thangu yi vua yi nsuka mu thangu bambanda va dikulusi.
26 Futhi kwakulombhalo wecala lakhe elalibhalwe phezulu usithi: INKOSI YAMAJUDA.
Tini ki dibaya kisonama bila kioki bamfundila, kisonama mambu mama: “Ntinu wu Bayuda”.
27 Njalo babethela kanye laye abaphangi ababili, omunye ngakwesokunene lomunye ngakwesokhohlo sakhe.
Bidovula biodi bibandu mu makulusu va kimosi ayi Yesu; wumosi ku koko ku lubakala, wunkaka ku koko ku lumoso. [
28 Wasugcwaliseka umbhalo othi: Futhi wabalwa kanye lezoni.
Buawu bobo budedikinina mambu momo masonama mu Minkanda: “Bantula mu nkangu wu batu bambimbi.”]
29 Labedlulayo bamhlambaza, benikina amakhanda abo, besithi: Hiya, wena odiliza ithempeli, ulakhe ngensuku ezintathu,
Batu bobo baviokila vana, bamfinga, banikuna mintu ayi bakamba: —E e ngeyo! Ngeyo wuntiolumunanga Nzo Nzambi ayi wukuyitungilanga mu bilumbu bitatu!
30 zisindise, wehle esiphambanweni.

31 Langokunjalo abapristi abakhulu labo bakloloda kanye lababhali bathi omunye komunye: Wasindisa abanye, angezisindise yena.
Bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi minlongi mi mina mamvawubansekinina. Bakambasana bawu na bawu: —Wuvukisidi batu bankaka vayi niandi veka kalendi kukivukisa ko!
32 UKristu iNkosi yakoIsrayeli kehle khathesi esiphambanweni, ukuze sibone sikholwe. Lababebethelwe kanye laye bamklolodela.
Bika Klisto ntinu wu Iseli kakuluka buabu va dikulusi muingi tumona ayi tuwilukila! Bobo babandu yandi va dikulusi, mamvawu bamfinga.
33 Kwathi sekufike ihola lesithupha, kwaba khona ubumnyama phezu komhlaba wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye.
Mu thangu midi, tombi kibua mu tsi yimvimba, kizingila natemu thangu yi ntatu yi masika.
34 Ngehola lesificamunwemunye uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi, "Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabaktani?" Okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungitshiyeleni?
—Mu thangu yintatu, Yesu wuyamikina mu ndinga yingolo: —Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabakatani! Bu dinsundula: Nzambi ama! Nzambi ama! Bila mbi wundiekudi!
35 Labanye kwababemi khona besizwa bathi: Khangelani, ubiza uElija.
Batu bankaka baba vana bu bawa bobo batuba: —Tala Eli kantela.
36 Wasegijima omunye, wagcwalisa uzipho ngeviniga, waluhloma emhlangeni, wamnika ukuthi anathe, esithi: Yekelani, sibone uba uElija uzakuza amethule.
Wumosi wuzawula ayi wuyenda buika tini ki eponzi mu vinu ki ngami, wukisomika va tsongi nti ayi wutambika Yesu muingi kanua; bu katuba: —Bika, tutala kani Eli makiza nkulula.
37 UJesu wasememeza ngelizwi elikhulu waphefumula okokucina.
Vayi Yesu wuyamikina ngolo ayi wuzenga vumunu.
38 Leveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa laba zincezu ezimbili laqala phezulu lisiya phansi.
Muna thangu beni lido yi Nzo Nzambi yikanzuka mu zindambuzizole; tona ku yilu nate ku tsi.
39 Kwathi induna yekhulu eyayimi maqondana laye ibona ukuthi ukhale njalo, waphefumula okokucina, yathi: Ngeqiniso lumuntu ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Nkulutu wu masodi, wutalana ayi Yesu, bu kamona ti wutabukavumunu mu yamikina bobo, buna wutuba: —Bukiedika, mutu wawu bedi Muana Nzambi!
40 Kwakukhona labesifazana bebukele bekhatshana, okwakukhona phakathi kwabo loMariya Magadalena, loMariya unina kaJakobe omncinyane lokaJose, loSalome,
Vaba diaka ayi ndambu yi baketo baba ntadilanga ku thama. Mu bawu muba: Maliya muisi Mangadala, Maliya ngudi yi Zaki di nleki wu Yose ayi ngudi yi Salome.

Bawu baba kunlandakananga, baba kunsadisanga mu thangu kaba ku Ngalili. Baketo bankaka bawombo bayiza yandi va kimosi ku Yelusalemi baba vana.
42 Kwathi sekuhlwile, ngoba kwakungamalungiselelo, okuyikuthi usuku phambi kwesabatha,
Mu thangu masika, mu lumbu ki khubumunu, buna lumbu kimosi kisiedimuingi lumbu ki saba kiba.
43 wafika uJosefa owayevela eArimathiya, ilunga elihloniphekayo lomphakathi, owayelindele laye umbuso kaNkulunkulu; wangena ngesibindi kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu.
