1 Awo oPiraato nʼalagira abaisulukale okutwala oYesu bamufaamuule nʼofaalu aliku emirobo egisima. 2 Era abaisulukale ni baluka engule eya mawa kaisi ni bagimuzwalisya oku mutwe. Bamuzwalisirye nʼekizwalo ekitukuliikiriri, 3 era ni basoosera okumwabaku okumukiina bati, “Owangaale, iwe oKabaka wʼaBayudaaya!” Era batyo nga webamukubba empi oku matama.

4 Awo oPiraato era tete nʼawuluka e nza, nʼakoba aBayudaaya ati, “Aale mumpulisisyeku, ngonu njaba okumuwuluca egimuli okubamanyikisya nti timbona ekyokuzweraku okumuvunaana omusango gwonagwona.” 5 Awo oYesu ni bamuwuluca nga bamutiikire engule eyʼamawa, era nga bamuzwalisirye ekizwalo ekitukuliikiriri kaisi oPiraato nʼabakoba ati, “Aale mubone omusaiza nago!”

6 Amangu ago ibo abakabona abakulu nʼabakuumi bʼeYeekaalu owebamuboine, ni bakooka bati, “Omukomerere oku musalabba, omukomerere oku musalabba!”

Neye oPiraato nʼabakoba ati, “Inywe mumutwale mumukomerere, neye okulwange timbona ekyokuzweraku okumuvunaana omusango gwonagwona.” 7 Era ibo aBayudaaya ni beekalangula bati, “Iswe tuli nʼeiteeka, era okusinzirira okwiteeka eeryo, ateekwa kufa olwakubba yeeyeta okubba Mwana wa Kibbumba.”19:7 Lee 24:16

8 Awo oPiraato oweyawuliire ekyo, era ni yeeyongera ino okutya. 9 Kale nʼalagira ni bakanjaayo oYesu omu lubiri kaisi nʼayaba nʼabuulya oYesu ati, “Ozwera yaina?” Neye oYesu tiyamwiriremu. 10 Awo oPiraato nʼamubuulya ati, “Ogaine okunjiramu? Tomaite oti ndi nʼobwezye okukuteera ooba okukukomerera oku musalabba?”

11 OYesu nʼamwiramu ati, “Tiwandibbaireku nʼobwezye singa tiKibbumba kubukuwa. Nʼolwekyo iye oodi ampaireyo egyoli niiye aali nʼekibbikibbi ekikiraku.” 12 Okuzwa omu kiseera ekyo oPiraato nʼagezyaku okuteera oYesu neye aBayudaaya nga beeyongera kukooka bati, “Singa oteera omusaiza oyo, waabba toli mukaagwa wa Kaisaali. Nti omuntu yenayena iye eyeeyeta okubba kabaka, abba ayakanisya Kaisaali.”

13 Awo oPiraato oweyawuliire ebyo, nʼalagira ni bawuluca oYesu oku luuga. Era oku luuga awo oPiraato nʼatyama oku ntebeye eyʼobulamuzi omu kifo ekibeeta bati Kya Mabbaale aMaalirire, neye omu Lwebbulaniya bati, Gabbasa. 14 Era esaawa gyabbaire ooti mukaaga egyʼomusana oku lunaku lwa kutegeka oMukolo ogwʼoKutambukirya. Awo oPiraato nʼakoba aBayudaaya ati, “Aale mumpulisisyeku, okabaka waanywe ngoyo!”

15 Neye ibo era ni bakooka bati, “Omumalewo, omumalewo, omukomerere oku musalabba!”

Awo oPiraato nʼababuulya ati, “Okabaka waanywe gumbe nkomerere oku musalabba?”

Abakabona abakulu ni bamwiramu bati, “Tubula kabaka gondi, wazira oKaisaali.”

16 Kale awo omu kukomenkereza, oPiraato nʼabakwatisya oYesu baabe bamukomerere oku musalabba.

Awo abaisulukale ni bakwata oYesu, ni bamutoolawo. 17 Era omu kwaba yabbaire nga yeetiikire omusalabbagwe okwaba omu kifo ekibeeta ekyʼeKiyanga, omu Lwebbulaniya ekibeeta Gologoosa. 18 Era omu kifo ekyo niiyo egibamukomereire oku musalabba. Era omu kifo ekinyere ekyo ni bakomerera nʼabandi babiri oku misalabba gyabwe, oku lubba nʼolubba, oYesu nga iye abalimu akati.

19 Awo oPiraato nʼalagira ni bawandiika ekiwandiiko, ni bakikubbirira e ngulu oku musalabba, nga kisoma kiti, “OYESU OWʼE NAAZALEESI, OKABAKA WʼABAYUDAAYA.” 20 Era aBayudaaya bangi ni basoma ekiwandiiko ekyo olwakubba ekifo ekyo egibakomereire oYesu, kyabbaire kumpi nʼekibuga. Era nti nʼekiwandiiko ekyo nago babbaire bakiwandiikire mu Lwebbulaniya, nʼomu Lulantini, nʼomu Luyonaani. 21 Awo abakabona abakulu abʼaBayudaaya ni bakanga egiri oPiraato okwezuluguma bati, “Tibandikiwandiikire bati, ‘Kabaka wʼaBayudaaya,’ wazira tutaka bakiwandiike bati, ‘Omusaiza onu abbaire yeeyeta Kabaka wʼaBayudaaya.’ ”

22 Awo oPiraato nʼabairamu ati, “Ekyo ekyendagiire nti bawandiike kiri nʼokubba kinyere ekyo.”

23 Cooka abaisulukale owebamalire okukomerera oYesu oku musalabba, ni batwala ebizwalobye, ni babigabulamu emigabo eena, buli mwisulukale nʼasunaku gumo. Neye iyo ekanzuye eyʼomunda iyo nʼesigala. Iyo babbaire tibagitungire-butungi, neye nga bagirukire-buluki yonayona okuzwa angulu paka ansi.

24 Kale abaisulukale ni bakobangana bati, “Titwaginyiiramu, neye tugikubbireku kalulu okusalawo eyagitwala.”

Ekyo kyabbairewo kutuukirirya Kiwandiike ekikoba kiti:

25 Awo okumpi nʼomusalabba gwa Yesu, wabbairewo omaaye, nʼomuganda wa maaye, nʼoMalyamu omuka Kulopaasi, era nʼoMalyamu oMangadaleena nga beemereire. 26 Kale oYesu oweyaboinewo omaaye, nʼomwegi oodi oYesu oguyatakanga eino nga beemereire okumpi aawo, nʼakoba omaaye ati, “Mama, oyo omutwale ngʼomwanawo,” 27 era nʼakoba nʼomwegiwe oyo nago ati, “Oyo omutwale ngʼomaawo.” Okuzwa oolwo omwegi oyo nʼatandiika okulabirira omaaye wa Yesu ngʼomoiza oku bantu bʼomu kisitokye.

28 Awo oluzwanyuma ngʼoYesu amalire okumanya ati amalire emirimo egibamutumire okukola era okutuukirirya eKiwandiike, nʼakoba ati, “Enyonta enduma.”19:28 Zab 22:15; 69:21 29 Abaisulukale babbaire bateekere awo ensaka eizwire enviinyo ensasaami kale ni batimyamu ekijuulo. Awo ni bakiteeka oku kasaale akebeeta yisopu, kaisi ni basiirya okukituuca oku munwagwe. 30 Awo oYesu oweyafunfuunireku enviinyo ensasaami egyo, nʼakoba ati, “Kiwoire.” Era nʼekibono ekyo nʼakotamya omutwe, era nʼafa.

31 Awo, lwabbaire lunaku lwa kutegeka era ngʼeizo lwabba Saabbaato olukulu. Kale olwakubba abeekubbemberi bʼaBayudaaya babbaire tibataka emirambo okutuuca oku Saabbaato nga giri oku musalabba, ni basaba oPiraato olukusa bavune ebigere bya bantu nago era nʼemirambo bagyanuleyo. 32 Nʼolwekyo abaisulukale ni baiza okuvuna ebigere byabwe moiza moiza nga basookera oku basaiza badi abebabbaire bakomereire aamo nʼoYesu buli muntu oku musalabbagwe. 33 Neye owebatuukire oku Yesu, ni babona nga iye amalire okufa, tibamuvunire ebigere. 34 Awo, iye omu kifo kyʼokumuvuna, omoiza oku baisulukale nʼamusumuta eisimo omu mpete okukakasa ngʼafiire, amangu ago ni muzwamu eisaaye nʼamaizi.

35 Era omusaiza eyaboineku ngʼekyo kibbaawo yakikobeire abantu, era nʼekiyabakobeire ni kibba kituuce. Iye omusaiza nago amaite ati atumula mazima era akola atyo kaisi nywena mwezye okwikirirya. 36 Ebyo byabbairewo kaisi oolwo eKiwandiike kituukirire ekikoba kiti, “Tibalimuvunaku eigumba kadi limo,”19:36 Kuz 12:46; Kub 9:12; Zab 34:20 37 era nga nʼeKiwandiike ekindi owekikoba kiti, “Baliringirira yoodi ibo ogubalibba basumutire.”19:37 Zak 12:10; Kub 1:7

38 Ebyo owebyawoire, oYusufu owʼAlimasaaya, nʼayaba nʼasaba oPiraato omulambo gwa Yesu. Era oYusufu oyo nago yabbaire mwegi wa Yesu, neye nga wʼomu mbiso olwʼokutya aBayudaaya. Awo ngʼasunire olukusa okuzwa eeri oPiraato, nʼayaba nʼatoolayo omulambo gwa Yesu.

39 OYusufu yabbaire nʼoNikodemu omusaiza nago enyumaku eedi eyacaaliire oYesu obwire.19:39 Yok 3:1-2 Era oNikodemu yaabire nʼekiro ooti 33 egya kalifuwa ogubeeta omiira omutabulemu ekigaji. 40 Awo ni batwala omulambo gwa Yesu nga bagusiigire okalifuwa, ni bagulingira omu ngoye egitukula empyaka egyʼebbeeyi! Eyo yabbaire niiyo empisa yʼaBayudaaya eyʼokuliika abafu.

41 Omu kifo oYesu egibamukomereire oku musalabba, wabbairewo omusiri omwabbaire amagombe agʼempuku amayaaka, agebabbaire tibateekangakuumu mulambo. 42 Era olwakubba wabbaire kumpi, oomwo niimwo omu bateekere omulambo gwa Yesu. Ekyo kityo olwakubba lwabbaire lunaku lwʼaBayudaaya kwetegekaraku ngʼeizo lwabba Saabbaato.
