13 Ndiyeno Pilato anasonkhanitsa ansembe aakulu, olamulira ndi anthu ena 14 nʼkuwauza kuti: “Inu mwabweretsa munthu uyu kwa ine ndi mlandu wakuti akulimbikitsa anthu kuukira. Koma mwaona nokha! Ine ndamufunsa pamaso panu ndipo sindinamupeze ndi chifukwa chomuimbira milandu imene mukumunenezayi.+ 15 Ndipotu ngakhale Herode sanamupeze ndi mlandu, nʼchifukwa chake wamubweza kwa ife. Ndithudi ameneyu sanachite chilichonse choyenera chilango cha imfa. 16 Choncho ndingomukwapula+ nʼkumumasula.” 17 *—— 18 Koma gulu lonse linafuula kuti: “Ameneyu muthane naye basi, koma ife mutimasulire Baraba!”+ 19 (Munthu ameneyu anaponyedwa mʼndende chifukwa cha kuukira boma kumene kunachitika mumzindawo komanso chifukwa chopha munthu.) 20 Pilato analankhula nawonso kachiwiri chifukwa ankafunitsitsa kuti amasule Yesu.+ 21 Ndiyeno anthuwo anayamba kufuula kuti: “Apachikidwe ameneyo! Apachikidwe ameneyo!”+ 22 Anawafunsa kachitatu kuti: “Chifukwa chiyani? Kodi iyeyu walakwa chiyani? Ine sindinamupeze ndi chifukwa chilichonse chomuphera. Choncho ndimukwapula nʼkumumasula.” 23 Atamva zimenezi anamuumiriza mokweza mawu kuti Yesu aphedwe basi. Anthuwo ankafuula mwamphamvu moti Pilato anangololera.+ 24 Choncho Pilato anapereka chiweruzo chogwirizana ndi zimene anthuwo ankafuna. 25 Iye anamasula munthu amene anthuwo ankafuna, amene anaikidwa mʼndende pa mlandu woukira boma komanso kupha munthu. Koma Yesu anamupereka mʼmanja mwawo kuti achite zimene ankafuna.
26 Pamene ankapita naye, iwo anagwira Simoni wa ku Kurene, amene ankachokera kudera lakumidzi. Iwo anamusenzetsa mtengo wozunzikirapo* kuti aunyamule nʼkumatsatira pambuyo pa Yesu.+ 27 Gulu lalikulu la anthu linkamutsatira kuphatikizapo azimayi ambiri amene ankadziguguda pachifuwa chifukwa cha chisoni komanso kumulirira. 28 Yesu anacheukira azimayiwo nʼkunena kuti: “Inu ana aakazi a Yerusalemu, siyani kundilirira. Koma mudzilirire nokha ndi ana anu.+ 29 Chifukwa masiku akubwera pamene anthu adzanena kuti, ‘Osangalala ndi akazi amene alibe ana, akazi amene sanaberekepo komanso akazi amene sanayamwitsepo!’+ 30 Mʼmasiku amenewo iwo adzayamba kuuza mapiri kuti, ‘Tigwereni!’ ndipo adzauza mapiri angʼonoangʼono kuti, ‘Tikwirireni!’+ 31 Ngati akuchita zinthu zimenezi mtengo uli wauwisi, kuli bwanji mtengowo ukadzauma?”
32 Anthuwo anatenganso amuna ena awiri, amene anali zigawenga, kuti akawaphe limodzi ndi Yesu.+ 33 Ndiyeno atafika pamalo otchedwa Chibade,+ anamukhomerera pamtengo limodzi ndi zigawenga zija. Mmodzi anamupachika kudzanja lake lamanja ndipo wina anali kumanzere kwake.+ 34 Koma Yesu ananena kuti: “Atate, akhululukireni, chifukwa sakudziwa zimene akuchita.” Iwo anagawana zovala zake pochita maere.+ 35 Anthu anangoima nʼkumaonerera zimene zinkachitikazo. Koma olamulira ankamunyogodola nʼkumanena kuti: “Ena anatha kuwapulumutsa, musiyeni adzipulumutse yekha, ngati alidi Khristu wa Mulungu, Wosankhidwa.”+ 36 Ngakhale asilikali nawonso ankamuchitira zachipongwe, ankabwera kudzamupatsa vinyo wowawasa+ 37 nʼkumanena kuti: “Ngati ndiwe Mfumu ya Ayuda, dzipulumutse wekha.” 38 Pamwamba pake analembapo mawu akuti: “Uyu ndi Mfumu ya Ayuda.”+
39 Ndiyeno mmodzi wa zigawenga zimene zinapachikidwa naye limodzi zija, anayamba kumulankhulira zachipongwe+ kuti: “Kodi si iwe Khristu? Dzipulumutse wekha, limodzi ndi ife.” 40 Poyankha mnzake uja anamudzudzula kuti: “Kodi iwe sukuopa Mulungu poona kuti nawenso ukulandira chilango chofanana ndi cha munthu ameneyu? 41 Ifetu mpake kulangidwa chonchi, chifukwa tikulandira zimene timayenera kulandira mogwirizana ndi zimene tinachita. Koma munthu uyu sanalakwe chilichonse.” 42 Kenako ananena kuti: “Yesu, mukandikumbukire mukakalowa mu Ufumu wanu.”+ 43 Yesu anamuuza kuti: “Ndithu ndikukuuza lero, iwe udzakhala ndi ine mʼParadaiso.”+
44 Apa nʼkuti nthawi ili cha mʼma 12 koloko masana,* koma kunagwa mdima mʼdziko lonselo mpaka 3 koloko masana,*+ 45 chifukwa dzuwa linachita mdima. Pa nthawi imeneyi nsalu yotchinga yamʼnyumba yopatulika+ inangʼambika pakati kuchokera pamwamba mpaka pansi.+ 46 Kenako Yesu anafuula mokweza mawu kuti: “Atate, ndikupereka mzimu wanga mʼmanja mwanu!”+ Atanena zimenezi anatsirizika.+ 47 Ataona zimene zinachitikazo, mtsogoleri wa asilikali anayamba kutamanda Mulungu kuti: “Ndithudi munthu uyu anali wolungama.”+ 48 Anthu onse amene anasonkhana kumeneko kudzaonerera zimene zinkachitikazo, ataona zonse zimene zinachitika, anabwerera kwawo akudziguguda pachifuwa. 49 Anthu onse amene ankamudziwa anaimirira chapatali ndithu. Komanso azimayi amene anamutsatira kuchokera ku Galileya anali pomwepo ndipo anaona zinthu zimenezi.+
