1 Paahi, Napilato nkaalhehera wiira Yesu aatiye ikopo. 2 Manyaasikari nkayaavilhika mphumburu wo miiwa, nkayammwariha mmuruni, nkayammwariha mwiinjiro wo irangi yo zambarau. 3 Nkayaawa ni unveehacha yiiraka, “Moyoo, Amwene Ayahudi!” Nkayaamwata makofi.

4 Napilato nkayakhuma tho vathe, nkayeera, “Nkoonani, kinommwiiha vano uwaninyu, nchuwelheke wiira miyaano khakoonne nlhatu uriyoothe uwannyawe.” 5 Paahi, Yesu nkaakhumihiya vathe nawanre mphumburu wo miiwa ni mwiinjiro we imwene. Napilato nkayeerelha, “Mmweheke! Ntu mwanene uyo phi ulha.”

6 Opochera ishaani olhupalhe ni anamitheko olhita Inupa ya Nlhuku vaamwonne aya nkayakhuwelha yiiraka, “Akomelhelhiye vansalaabani! Akhomelhelhiye vansalaabani!”

Napilato nkayeerelha, “Munkusheke etu vano mwaattiva mwaashinene, mwamwiiveke. Ukhalhawaya miyaano khakoonne nlhatu uriyoothe wiira hotteka.” 7 Ayahudi nkayaamwakhulha, “Hiyaano nihanaa Malhehero, ineera wiira hophwanelhiya ukhwa, ukhalhawaya heepanga Mwaana a Nlhuku.”

8 Napilato yeeweke yayo malhove ayo, nkayaathepa woova. 9 Nkayaakelha tho mpaani, nkayankoha Yesu, “Inyuva nkhume vayi?” Nansho Yesu khaakhunlhe. 10 Napilato nkayaamwirelha, “Woonaka khannottuna wulhumacha ni mii? Chani, khanchuwenlhe wiira mii kihanaa ikuru yo uhiyererani ni ikuru yo ukhomelhelhani vansalaabani?” 11 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Khamwaakhalha ni ikuru iriyoothe vachulhu waka mwahakaavahiye ukhuma wiirimu. Paahi etu, ntu kiwinhe uwaninyu uyo yoyo ri o uwonya chinene.” 12 Ukhuma vavawo, Napilato nkayaavia iphiro yo unhiyerera, nansho Ayahudi nkayaanyakulha yiiraka, “Mwanhiyereraka ulha ntu ulha, inyuva kanhiwe anlhoko aya Akaisari o Urumi, kila ntu neepanga ukhalha mwene nowaathunalhiha Akaisari o Urumi!”

13 Paahi, Napilato veewilhe aya yayo malhove ayo nkayammwiiha Yesu vathe, nkayakhalhelha ihiche yo waahukumulhelha attu, vakittu vaneehaniya we Iebraniya Gabatha maana aya “Mmuto wo Malhuku.” 14 Waari uthana, nihuku no wiicheesha rata wo nihuku no Pasaka. Napilato nkayeerelha Ayahudi, “Mummweheke, Mwene inyu!”

15 Attu nkayaakhuwelha, “Munthamihe! Munthamihe! Mwankhomelhelhe vansalaabani!”

Napilato nkayaakoha, “Chani, kinkhomelhelheke Mwene inyu vansalaabani?”

Opochera ishaani Olhupalhe nkayaakhulha, “Hiyaano khanirina mwene nkina ahikhalhe Akaisari o Urumi!”

16 Vavawo, Napilato nkayankumiha Yesu nkaavaha ammwie anrweehe akhomelhelhiye vansalaabani.

Paahi etu, nkayankusha Yesu. 17 Ni uyo nkaakumihiya nakunshe nsalaaba awe arweehiyaka vakittu vaneehaniya we Iebraniya Gologota, maana aya Nikhurukucha no Muru. 18 Vavawo phi vakittu vaakhomelhelhiye awe Yesu. Aakhomelhelhiye vamoka ni attu akina elhi, mmoka wiimonono ni nkina wiimushi wawe. Yesu aari variyari. 19 Napilato nkayaalhepa nlhove vakibaoni ni ukhomelhelha vachulhu nsalaaba. Nlhove naalhepiye nno neera, “Yesu o Unazareti, Mwene a Ayahudi.” 20 Ayahudi enchi yahoshoma nenno nlhove nno, ukhalhawaya vaakhomelhelhiye awe Yesu vawo, vaari vakiviru ni vawani. Ni nlhove nno naari ninalhepiye wo moolhumo e Iebraniya, Ilatini, ni Iyunani. 21 Opochera ishaani olhupalhe nkayeerelha Napilato, “Nhilhepe wiira, ‘Mwene a Ayahudi,’ nansho nlhepeke, ‘Ntu enre, Miyaano phi Mwene a Ayahudi.’ ” 22 Napilato nkayaakhulha, “Kilhempe aka, kiholhepa!”

23 Manyaasikari yamalheke unkhomelhelha Yesu vansalaabani, nkayaawia ikuwo chawe, nkayaakawa vacheshe, kila nsikari nifungu nimoka. Nkayaakusha chiicho ni mwiinjiro awe nkina, waari wo ttaviya ikuwo imoka yaalhutanne, wo hitottiya. 24 Paahi etu, manyaaasikari nkayeewanana ashineneru wiira, “Ilha nihaahulhe, noopeke ikhura yo ulhamulha inaakhalheke ya apani.” Yoyo mwaha uyo waapangia atimire Malhove Matakatifu aneera

25 Vaatameria nsalaaba waakhomelhelhiye Yesu yaari aneemenlhe anumwanawe, ni arokoraya anumwanawe, ni Amariamu ahanu a Nakileopa, ni Amariamu Magidalena. 26 Yesu nkoona anumwanawe, ni owiittucha anttunne awe aneemenlhe, nkeerelha anumwanawe, “Amma! Mummweheke, vano ulha phi mwamwaninyu.”

27 Tho nkaamwirelha owiittucha ulhe, “Mwaaweheke, alha phi anumwaninyu vano.” Uchokholhelha vavawo, yoyo owiittucha uyo nkaakusha Amariamu nkaakhalhana uwannyawe.

28 Yamalhekeru, Yesu nkoona wiira onkhaye ahotimira, ni wo utimiriha Malhove Matakatifu nkeera, “Kinoona nttona.”

29 Vavawo yahokhalha ni ikahi yaachanre idivai yo uhichasha. Paahi, nkayaruwia mdodoki mu divaini mmo, nkayaattuka munthalheni, nkayaamweshera vamalhakuni. 30 Yesu amalheke utoolha idivai iyo, nkeera, “Mitheko chihotimira!”

Yamalheke nkooroma muru, nkaahiya nrima.

31 Paahi aholhelhi Ayahudi nkayaavekelha Napilato wiira oonthe mieto cha attu aakhomelhelhiye, ni ukurusha mitembo chaya vansalaabani. Yaari avekelhaka ukhalhawaya yaari nihuku no ijumaa, nihuku no wiicheesha rata. Wo chiicho, iruttu chihihalhe mmisalaabani Nihuku no Wiittuwa, ukhalhawaya nenno nihuku nno naari nulhupalhe chinene. 32 Paahi etu, manyaasikari nkayaarwaa, nkayamuntha mieto ntu aakhomelhelhiye wiiminono, ni nkina o wiimushi, attu yaakhomelhelhiye vamoka ni Yesu alhe. 33 Nansho yamphiyelheke Yesu, nkayoona wiira homalha ukhwa, wo chiichammo etu khayoonthe mieto chawe. 34 Nsikari mmoka nkanhoma nivaka Yesu vapararini, wo uhipicha nkayaakhuma iphome ni maashi. 35 Ni uyo onne chechiyo ahoonechesha inyu mwaatti nrumelhelhe. Ni malhove yuulhumanche awe phi ikeekhene, ni uyo hochuwelha wiira uhimiechesha wawe phi ikeekhene. 36 Yoyo mwaha uyo waapangelhe Malhove Matakatifu atimire, “Khaniwo nikhuva nawe inakhalhaka nimoka ninohalha wunthiya.” 37 Tho Malhove Matakatifu aneera, “Anommweha ulhe anhomilhe aya nivaka.”

38 Umalha waya yayo, Nayusufu, anenchi o Uarimathaya, yahaavekelha Napilato nipesha no ukusha iruttu ya Yesu. Nayusufu yaari owiittucha a Yesu, nansho wo wiivitha, ukhalhawaya yaanoova aholhelhi a Ayahudi. Paahi, Napilato nkayaahiyera. Nayusufu nkayarwaa, nkayakurusha iruttu ya Yesu. 39 Nayusufu, yaarweelhe vamoka ni Nanikodemo yaathonke mahuku o utulhi ayo unrweelha Yesu uhiyu. Aawiilhe anakunshe manemane aathakanihiye ni ubani wo umalhaka iratili imia imoka o wootiha ntembo wa Yesu. 40 Attu elhi ayo etu, nkayakusha iruttu ya Yesu, nkayaavilhikelha ikuwo yo uvithelha vamoka ni makhura ulhikaana ni malhemalhelho a Ayahudi o uvithaniya. 41 Vavawo vakittu vakhomelhelhiye awe Yesu vawo vaari ni imata, ni mommo mmatani mmo mwaari ni nihiye no naanano nihinavithiya ntu riyoothe nhina mwaya. 42 Ukhalhawaya naari nihuku ni Ayahudi no wiicheesha rata wo Nihuku no Wiittuwa, ni ukhalhawaya nihiye nno naari vakhiviru, nkayeesha iruttu ya Yesu mwommo.
