27 Pidaca kunja, akulu a anyantsembe onsene na akulu a mbumba, agumanyikana toera kubverana kuti anapha tani Yezu.+ 2 Pidamala iwo kumʼmanga, aenda kampereka kuna ntongi Pilato.+

3 Buluka penepo, Yuda adasandukira Yezu, pidaona iye kuti Yezu akhadatongwa kuphiwa, atsukwala kakamwe, mbabweza kobiri 30 za parata kuna akulu a anyantsembe na akulu a mbumba,+ 4 mbalonga: “Ndadawa thangwi yakusandukira munthu wakusowa mulando.” Iwo alonga: “Tinapyonji ife? Mphyako pyenepi.” 5 Natenepa, iye aponya kobiri za parata mu templo, buluka penepo aenda kamangika.+ 6 Mbwenye akulu a anyantsembe akwata kobiri za parata mbalonga: “Si pyadidi tayu kuziikha mʼmbuto inakoyerwa mpfuma mu templo, thangwi ndi kobiri idaperekwa toera kuphesa munthu.”* 7 Pidamala iwo kubverana, aphatisira kobiri ineyi toera kugula munda wa nyakuumba kuti ukhale masiye a anthu a madziko anango. 8 Natenepa, munda unoyu usacemerwa Munda wa Ciropa+ mpaka lero. 9 Munjira ineyi, akwanirisika mafala adalonga mprofeta Yeremiya kuti: “Iwo akwata kobiri 30 za parata, ntengo wa kobiri udabverana anango mwa ana a Izraeli toera kunʼgulisa nawo, 10 pontho na kobiri ineyi, iwo agula munda wa nyakuumba, mwakubverana na pidandipanga+ Yahova.”*

11 Pikhali Yezu dzololo patsogolo pa Pilato, penepo Pilato ambvundza: “Kodi iwe ndiwe Mambo wa Ayuda?” Yezu antawira: “Inde, ndipyo pidalonga imwe.”+ 12 Mbwenye pikhapambizirwa iye na akulu a anyantsembe na akulu a mbumba, Yezu nee alonga cinthu.+ 13 Pilato ambvundza: “Nee ukubva pinthu pizinji pinalonga iwo thangwi ya iwe?” 14 Mbwenye iye nee antawira, nee fala ibodzi idalonga iye, natenepa Pilato adzumatirwa kakamwe.

15 Mʼmaphwando onsene a Paskwa, ukhali nsambo wa Pilato kubulusa munthu mʼbodzi nkaidi, ule akhasankhulwa na mbumba.+ 16 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, iwo akhali na mamuna mʼbodzi nkaidi akhacemerwa Bharabha, phanga wakudziwika kakamwe. 17 Natenepa, pidagumanyikana iwo, Pilato aabvundza: “Musafuna ndikubulusireni ani, Bharabha peno Yezu anacemerwa Kristu?” 18 Thangwi Pilato akhadziwa kuti iwo apereka Yezu kuna iye thangwi ya bibvu. 19 Kusiyapo pyenepi, pikhali Pilato pa mpando wakutongera miseru, nkazace atumiza mphangwa kuna iye, mbalonga: “Leka kucita cinthu kuna mamuna unoyu wakulungama, thangwi ndanentseka kakamwe lero mu ndoto thangwi ya iye.” 20 Mbwenye akulu a anyantsembe na akulu a mbumba anyengerera mwinji wa anthu toera aphembe kuti Bharabha abuluswe,+ mbwenye Yezu aphiwe.+ 21 Pilato aabvundza pontho: “Mwa awiri awa, musafuna ndibuluse ani?” Iwo atawira: “Bharabha.” 22 Pilato alonga: “Mphapo ndisafunika kucitanji kuna Yezu anacemerwa Kristu?” Onsene atawira: “Mbamanikwe pamuti!”*+ 23 Iye abvundza: “Thangwi yanji? Ndi cinthu cipi cakuipa cidacita iye?” Mbwenye iwo apitiriza kukhuwa kakamwe: “Mbamanikwe pamuti!”+

24 Na kuona kuti kuwangisira kwace nee kwaphedza, mbwenye anthu akhacita uviyaviya, Pilato akwata madzi mbasamba manja ace pamaso pa mwinji wa anthu, mbalonga: “Ine nkhabe mulando wa kufa kwa munthu uyu. Mphyanu pyenepi.” 25 Natenepa, anthu onsene atawira mbalonga: “Ciropa cace mbacigwere ife na anathu.”+ 26 Buluka penepo, Pilato aabulusira Bharabha, mbwenye atonga kuti Yezu akwapulwe,+ mbampereka toera aphiwe pamuti.+

27 Natenepa, anyankhondo a Pilato akwata Yezu mbaenda naye nʼnyumba ya Pilato, agumanya nsoka onsene wa anyankhondo mbazungulira Yezu.+ 28 Penepo iwo anʼdulisa nguwo zace, mbambvazika nguwo yakufuira kakamwe,+ 29 iwo aluka nthimba ya minga mbaiikha munsolo mwace, pontho aikha ndodo nʼdjanja yace yamadyo. Iwo agodama patsogolo pace, ansingirira mbalonga: “Muli tani imwe Mambo wa Ayuda!” 30 Iwo amʼphulira mata,+ pontho akwata ntete mbatoma kumʼmenya nawo munsolo mwace. 31 Pakumalisa, pidamala iwo kunsingirira, anʼdulisa nguwo yakufuira, mbambvazika nguwo zace. Buluka penepo aenda kanʼkhomera pamuti.+

32 Pikhaenda iwo, agumana mamuna mʼbodzi wa ku Sirene anacemerwa Simau. Iwo akakamiza mamuna unoyu toera kuthukula muti+ ukhafuna iwo kukhomera Yezu. 33 Pidafika iwo pa mbuto inacemerwa Golgota, yakuti isabveka Mbuto Inatayirwa Madudu a Misolo,+ 34 iwo ampasa vinyu yakubvungazwa na miti yakuwawa toera amwe;+ mbwenye pidailawira iye, akhonda kuimwa. 35 Pidamala iwo kunʼkhomera pamuti, iwo acita pyakulotera toera kugawana nguwo zace,+ 36 buluka penepo iwo akhala pantsi mbapitiriza kumuonera. 37 Iwo aikhambo tabwa ingʼono padzulu pa nsolo wace, yakuti ikhadalembwa mathangwi akufa kwace: “Uyu ndi Yezu, Mambo wa Ayuda.”+

38 Pa ntsiku ineyi, mambava mawiri amanikwa pamuti nʼkhundu mwa Yezu, mʼbodzi kukhundu yamadyo, unango kukhundu yabzwere.+ 39 Ale akhapita na penepo akhamulonga mwakusowa cilemedzo,+ pontho akhasukusa misolo yawo,+ 40 mbalonga: “Iwe ukhafuna kugomola templo mbuimanga mu ntsiku zitatu,+ pulumusika wekhene! Khala ndiwe Mwana wa Mulungu, tcita pamuti wakusikimizira!”*+ 41 Munjira ibodzi ene, akulu a anyantsembe, apfundzisi a mwambo pabodzi na akulu a mbumba atomambo kunsingirira, mbalonga:+ 42 “Anango iye aapulumusa, mbwenye nkhabe kwanisa kupulumusika ekhene! Iye ndi Mambo wa Izraeli;+ mbatcite cincino pamuti wakusikimizira,* natenepa tinanʼkhulupira. 43 Iye anyindira Mulungu; mphapo Mulungu mbampulumuse cincino khala asakomerwa naye,+ thangwi iye alonga: ‘Ndine Mwana wa Mulungu.’”+ 44 Munjira ibodzi ene, mambava akhali pamuti nʼkhundu mwace akhantikanambo.+

45 Kubulukira pa ndzidzi 12 wakumasikati, caoneka cidima mu dziko ineyi yonsene mpaka ndzidzi utatu wakumaulo.+ 46 Cifupi na ndzidzi utatu wakumaulo, Yezu alonga mwakugaluza, mbati: “Eli, Eli, lama sabakitani?” Pisabveka, “Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, thangwi yanji mwandisiya?”+ 47 Pidabva iwo pyenepi, anango mwa ale akhali penepo atoma kulonga: “Iye akucemera Eliya.”+ 48 Mwakucimbiza, mʼbodzi wa iwo athamanga, akwata thonje mbaibvika mu vinyu yakudjamuka, aipfeka pa phesi mbampasa toera amwe.+ 49 Mbwenye onsene alonga: “Nsiyeni tenepo! Tendeni tione khala Eliya anabwera kudzampulumusa.” 50 Yezu akhuwa pontho mwakugaluza, mbafa.*+

51 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, nguwo ya mu templo+ yapanduka pakati-nakati,+ tomera kudzulu mpaka pantsi,+ pontho kwaoneka citeketeke, miyala mbisweka. 52 Penepo nthumbi zafunguka, manungo a atumiki a Mulungu akuti akhadafa, aponyeka kunja, 53 mbaonekera kuna anthu azinji. (Pakumala kulamuswa kwa Yezu muli akufa, anthu anango adabuluka kumasiye apita mu nzinda wakucena.) 54 Mbwenye nkulu wa anyankhondo na ale akhali na iye toera kuonera Yezu pidaona iwo citeketeke na pinthu pikhacitika, iwo agopa kakamwe mbalonga: “Mwandimomwene, uyu akhali Mwana wa Mulungu.”+

55 Pontho penepo pakhali na akazi azinji akuti akhaona nakutali. Iwo akhadatowera Yezu bulukira ku Galileya toera kuntumikira;+ 56 mwa iwo akhalipo Mariya Madhalena, Mariya mai wace Tiyago, Yose na mama wa ana a Zebhedheu.+

57 Pikhadoka dzuwa, abwera mamuna mʼbodzi wakupfuma wa ku Arimateya akhacemerwa Zuze, wakuti akhalimbo nyakupfundza wa Yezu.+ 58 Mamuna unoyu aenda kuna Pilato mbaphemba manungo a Yezu.+ Penepo Pilato atonga kuti iye aapaswe.+ 59 Zuze akwata manungo, aapyangirira na nguwo yakucena yadidi kakamwe,+ 60 mbaagonesa munthumbi yace ipswa+ ikhadakumba iye pamwala. Buluka penepo abulumundisa mwala ukulu mbauikha pansuwo wa nthumbi, mbaenda pyace. 61 Mbwenye Mariya Madhalena na Mariya unango apitiriza penepo, iwo akhali nawa pantsi patsogolo pa nthumbi.+

62 Pyenepi pyacitika pa ntsiku yakukhunganyika ntsiku ya Sabudu.+ Mangwana mwace, akulu a anyantsembe na Afarisi agumanyikana pamaso pa Pilato, 63 mbalonga: “Mbuya, ife tisakumbuka pidalonga nyauthambi ule pikhali iye mʼmaso kuti: ‘Pa ntsiku yacitatu, ndinadzalamuswa muli akufa.’+ 64 Natenepa, bulusani ntemo toera nthumbi itsidzikizwe mwadidi mpaka pa ntsiku yacitatu, gopa anyakupfundzace anabwera kudzaba manungo ace+ mbalonga kuna anthu kuti: ‘Iye alamuswa muli akufa!’ Pyenepi pingacitika, uthambi unoyu unadzakhala ukulu kakamwe kupiringana wakutoma.” 65 Pilato aapanga: “Kwatani anyakuonera. Ndokoni katsidzikize nthumbi ninga munafunira imwe.” 66 Natenepa, iwo aenda katsidzikiza nthumbi mu kuikha cidzindikiro* pamwala mbasiya anyakuonera.
