1 Ambe, Pirato akaragania abhasirikare bhaaye kubha bhamugege Yeesu, bhamuteme emijariti. 2 Abhasirikare bhakoogosa orusuurya rwa amahwa, bhakamwiibhohya kumutwe. Bhakamwiibhohya omweenda gwe eraangi ye ezambaraau. 3 Bhakabha bharamugyaku, bharamukeerya bharabhuga, “Kasiinga rugabho, ee omutemi wa Abhayahudi!” Eno bhakumutema eziihi.

4 Pirato akahuruka igutu kweeki, akabhabhuurira abhakaangati bha Abhayahudi bharya, “Mwiitegeerere, ndamureeta igutu kweemwe omuutu wuno, okubha mumenye kubha nitakurora ekiina kya amasemo kyokyoosi kweewe.” 5 Ambe, niho Yeesu akahuruka igutu eno yiibhohiri orusaangarya rwa amahwa no omweenda gwe ezambaraau. Ambe, Pirato akagaamba mwaasi, “Rora, omuutu omweene ni wuyo.”

6 Hano abhakuru bha abhaseengeri na abhasirikare bhe eriiseengerero bhaamuruuzi Yeesu, bhakakora ekituri bhakubhuga, “Mumubhaambe kumusaraba, mumubhaambe kumusaraba!”

Ambe, Pirato akabhabhuurira, “Mumugege emwe abheene mugye mumubhaambe kumusaraba, kwo okubha enye nikyaari kubhona isarya ryoryoosi kweewe.”

7 Abhakaangati bha Abhayahudi bhakamukyoora, “Etwe tunagyo emigiro. Kuriingʼaana ne emigiro giyo, areenderwa okwiitwa, kwe ekigirirye ariigaamba kubha ni Mwaana wa Taatabhugya.”*Rora Abharaawi 24:16.

8 Hano Pirato yiigwiiri amangʼana gayo, akoobhoha kukiraho bhukongʼu. 9 Ambe, akasikira kweeki munyuumba, akamubhuurya Yeesu, “Awe orwiiri hayi?” Nawe Yeesu ataamukyooriri ryoryoosi. 10 Ambe, Pirato akamubhuurira, “Kwaki otakunikyoora? Mbe, otamenyiri kubha nino obhunagya bhwo okukutazura, kweeki bhwo okukutemerera kumusaraba?”

11 Yeesu akamukyoora Pirato, “Otiingabheeri no obhunagya bhwobhwoosi iguru waane eraabhe otiingaheerwe na Taatabhugya. Kweego omuutu wuno anituuriri mumabhoko gaazo ane ebhibhi bhikuru bhukongʼu kukira ebhibhi bhyaazo.”

12 Ambe, hano Pirato yiigwiiri gayo, akasakya kukomya enzira yo okumutazura Yeesu, nawe Abhakaangati bha Abhayahudi bhakakora ekituri kweeki bhakubhuga, “Eraabhe oraamutazure omuutu wuyo, ambe awe otari omusaani wa Kaisari.†Kaisari gwaari ni mweeya gwo omutemi omukuru gwa Abharooma. Yaari arakaangata ebhyaaro bhyaaru kwe enzira yo obhukorooni, naabhe ekyaaro kya Iziraeri. Rora engʼana yino mu Bhugaruri bhwa Amangʼana Amakongʼu. Omuutu wowoosi wuno akwiikora kubha mutemi, aramuhakania Kaisari.”

13 Hano Pirato yiigwiiri amangʼana gayo, akamureeta Yeesu igutu, ewe akagya kwiikara kukituumbi kyo okutinira ekiina, ahagiro hano bhakabhirikira Orukuungu rwa Amagina. Kukigaambo kye Ekieburania bharabhuga Gabata. 14 Yaari ehikiri eriibhaga rya kasaasabha murusiku rwo okwiibhanura kwiiguru ye Enyaangi yo Okuhiita. Pirato akabhabhuurira Abhayahudi, “Rora, omutemi weenyu nguno!”

15 Ebho bhakakora ekituri bhakabhuga, “Mumwiite, mumwiite! Mumubhaambe kumusaraba!”

Pirato akabhabhuurya, “Mbe, mureenda nimubhaambe kumusaraba omutemi weenyu?”

Abhakuru bha abhaseengeri bhakamukyoora, “Etwe tutana omutemi owuundi nawe Kaisari!” 16 Ambe mubhuteero Pirato akaswaagya agegwe, atemererwe kumusaraba.

Ambe, abhasirikare bhakamugega Yeesu no okugya neewe. 17 Akagega omusaraba gwaaye, akatanura mumugye, akagya hagiro hano haabhirikiirwe Gorigota mukigaambo kye Ekieburania, obhugazuro bhwaku Ekihaanga kyo Omutwe. 18 Hano bhaahikiri harya, bhakamutemerera Yeesu kumusaraba. Hagiro haryaharya bhaari bhariho abhaatu abhaandi bhabhiri bhano bhakabhatemerera kumisaraba hamwe neewe, owumwe orubhaara rwo obhuryo no owuundi orubhaara rwo obhumosi.

19 Pirato akaswaagya kubha, gakaamwe amangʼana no okutuurwa kumusaraba gwa Yeesu, garabhuga, “Yeesu wa Nazareeti, Omutemi wa Abhayahudi.” 20 Amakaamo gayo gakaamirwe mukigaambo kye Ekieburania, Ekirooma ne Ekiyunaani. Abhayahudi bhaaru bhaari bharasoma amakaamo gayo, kwe ekigirirye ahagiro hano bhaamutemereeri Yeesu kumusaraba haari haguhi na Yerusaremu.

21 Ambe, abhakuru bha abhaseengeri bhakamubhuurira Pirato, “Otakaama, ‘Omutemi wa Abhayahudi,’ nawe kaama, ‘Omuutu wuno akabhuga kubha ewe ni omutemi wa Abhayahudi.’ ”

22 Pirato akabhakyoora, “Zeyi, gano nikaamiri gasaage egoego kyeego nikaamiri.”

23 Hano abhasirikare bhamutemereeri Yeesu kumusaraba, bhakagega emyeenda gyaaye, bhakatwaania magazo ane. Abhasirikare bhayo kwo owumwe, akagega eriigazo ryaaye. Kweeki, bhakagega eriigooti ryaaye. Eriigooti ryaari ryoogosirwe, bhakahokeerya ekitinika kimwe kyo omweenda, gutaari na mutumo naabhe gumwe. 24 Ambe, bhakiibhuurira, “Tutaraandura omweenda guno, nawe tuteme obhwiitoori, turore, gurabha gwa weewi.” Gayo gakakorwa ego, okubha gakuunaane gano gakaamirwe mu Amakaamo Amahoreeru kubha, “Bhakatwaana emyeenda gyaane, no okutema obhwiitoori iguru yo omweenda gwaane.”‡Rora Zaburi 22:18. Nigo gano bhaakoriri abhasirikare.

25 Ambe, bhaari bhariho abhakari abhaandi bhane bhano bhaari bhiimeereeri haguhi no omusaraba gwa Yeesu. Gati wa abhakari bhayo yaariho nina waabhu Yeesu, nina waabhu omusuuhu wa Yeesu, Mariamu omukari wa Kireopa, na Mariamu wa mumugye gwa Magidara. 26 Hano Yeesu yamuruuzi nina waabhu no omwaanamweega wuno akamuseega bhukongʼu yiimeereeri haguhi na nina waabhu, akabhuga, “Ee maayi, wuyo niwe omwaana waazo.” 27 Kweeki akamubhuurira omwaanamweega wurya, “Awe wuyo niwe nina weenyu.” Ambe, okurwa eriibhaga riryarirya omwaanamweega wuyo, akamugega nina waabhu Yeesu, akagya kwiikara neewe mumugye gwaaye.

28 Ambe, Yeesu akamenyeekererya kubha yaari amariri kugikora emirimo gyoosi. Ambe, akabhuga, “Ndiigwa enyoota.” Gayo, gakatuuka okubha gakuunaane kyeego gakaamirwe mu Amakaamo Amahoreeru.§Rora Zaburi 69:21. 29 Ahagiro harya haari ne ekigiro kikiizura amaanzi amaruru go omuzabibu gari musuka. Ambe, bhakagega epaamba, bhakatobhya mumaanzi amaruru go omuzabibu gayo, bhakagazya kumaara, bhakamutuurira Yeesu kumunwa. 30 Yeesu hano yasamiri amaanzi amaruru go omuzabibu gayo, akabhuga, “Emirimo gyaane gihwiiri!” Akiinamya omutwe, akatina ekoro.

31 Orusiku ruyo, rukabha orusiku rwo okubhanura no orusiku rwo okumuunya*Orusiku rwo okubhanura rwaari Ijumaa, kwo okubha orusiku rwo okuseengera rwaari Jumamosi. runo rwaari rukuru kukira rwo obhutuuro ku Nyaangi yo Okuhiita. Nikyo abhakaangati bha Abhayahudi bhateendiri ebhituundu bhisaage iguru yo omusaraba kurusiku rwo okumuunya. Ambe bhakagya ku Pirato, bhakamusabha kubha abhasirikare bhagye bhabhabhune amaguru†Bhabhabhune amaguru, okubha bhakwe rugeendo rumwe. abhaatu bhano bhakatemererwa, no okuruusyaho ebhituundu bhyaabhu kumisaraba. 32 Ambe, abhasirikare bhakagya, bhakamubhuna amaguru omuutu wo okutaanga na wa kabhiri bhano bhaari bhabhatemereeri hamwe na Yeesu. 33 Nawe hano bhakagya ku Yeesu, bhakabhona akuuri, kweego bhataamubhuniri amaguru. 34 Nawe owumwe wa abhasirikare akamusoma Yeesu ne eriitimu murubharu. Amanyiinga na amaanzi gakarwa. 35 Amangʼana gayo gakaamirwe no omuutu wuno yaari akurora gano gakukoreka. Gano akumenyeekererya ni ge eheene, woosi amenyiri kubha gano akubhuga ni ge eheene, okubha na neemwe mwiikirirye. 36 Gayo gakakoreka okubha gakuunaane gano gakaamirwe mu Makaamo Amahoreeru, “Ritariho eriiguha ryaaye rino riraabhunike.”‡Rora Zaburi 34:20. 37 Kweeki Amakaamo Amahoreeru garabhuga, “Bharaaza kumurora wuno bhaamusomiri.”§Rora Zakaria 12:10.

38 Ambe, okuhita gayo, akaaza omuutu owumwe eriina ryaaye Yusufu, wuno akarwa mumugye gwa Arimataya. Omuutu wuyo yaari omwaanamweega wa Yeesu, nawe kwa mbiso, kwo okubha yaari aroobhoha abhakaangati bha Abhayahudi. Ambe, omuutu wurya akagya ku Pirato, akamusabha kubha agege ekituundu kya Yeesu, akibhiike. Pirato akamwiikirirya. Kyaamwe, Yusufu akagya, akaruusyaho ekituundu kya Yeesu.

39 Niho, Nikodemo wuno yaari agiiri ku Yeesu obhutiku,*Rora Yohana 3:1-2. akaaza na amaguta go omuruumbaaso gano gasaangiibhwe na manemane, gaari eziikiro emiroongo etatu (30). 40 Ambe, abhabhiri bhayo bhakagega ekituundu kya Yeesu, bhakakiriizirira mumweenda gwo obhuguri bhukuru, bhakakihaka amaguta go omuruumbaaso kuriingʼaana ne enyaangi ya Abhayahudi yo okubhiika abhaatu. 41 Ahagiro hano bhakamutemerera Yeesu gwaari gureho omuguundu. Mumuguundu muyo, yaari erimu embiihira ehya yino bhakyaari kumubhiika omuutu wowoosi.†Abhayahudi bhaari ne enyaangi yo okubhiika abhaku mumabhigi no okutuura amagina kubhiseku. Embiihira ya Yeesu yaari mwiibhigi. 42 Orusiku ruyo, Abhayahudi bhahiibhanura kurusiku rwo okumuunya. Kwe ekigirirye kiyo, bhakamubhiika Yeesu mumbiihira yirya kwo okubha yaari haguhi.
