¹ Pilato aramubwira ngo, ntaco unsubiza ? Ntabwo uzi ko mfite ubushobozi bwo kukubamba kandi ko mfite ubushozi bwo kukurekura ? Nuko Pilato afata Yesu, ategeka ko bamukubita iminyatu. ² Abasoda bazinga ikizingo c'imishubi bakimushira k'umutwe, bamwambika umwenda w'umutuku; ba ³ ramwegera, baravuga ngo: Komera, Mwami w'Abayuda ! bamukubita inshi nyinshi. ⁶ Pilato yongera gusohoka, abwira Abayuda : Dore, ndamubazaniye hanze, kugirango mumenye ko nta kibi namubonyeho. ⁴ Yesu asohoka, yambaye ikizingo c'imishubi n'umwenda w'umutuku. Na Pilato agamba ngo : Nguyu umuntu. ⁵ Ubwo abatambyi bakuru n'abarinzi bamubonye barasakuza : N'amanikwe ! N'amanikwe ! Pilato arababwira ngo : mumufate ubwanyu, mumwimanikire; Kuko, njewe nta caha mubonyeho. ⁷ Abayuda baramusubiza ngo : Dufite itegeko; kandi turikukrikije, agomba gupfa kuko yigize umwana w'Imana. ⁸ Pilato amze kumva iryo jambo, Ubwoba buriyongera. ⁹ Yinjira munzu, abaza Yesu ngo : Ukomoka he ? Ariko UYesu ntiyamusubiza ikintu. ¹⁰ Pilato aramubwira ngo, ntaco unsubiza ? Ntabwo uzi ko mfite ubushobozi bwo kukubamba kandi ko mfite ubushozi bwo kukurekura ? ¹¹ Yesu arasubiza ngo : Nta bushobozi warikugira kuri nje, utabuhawe niyo hejuru. Kuko umantanze mu amaboko gawe ari we wakoze icaha gikomeye. ¹² Muri ako kanya, Pilato ashaka kumurekura. Ariko Abayuda barayomba cane. N'umurekura, ntabwo uri mwira wa Kaisari. Uwigira umwami aba agambye ko atazi Kaisari. ¹³ Pilato yumvishe ago magambo asohora Yesu hanze; yicara ku intebe ye ayitereka ahantu hirengeye hitwa Pave, mugiheburayo hitwa Gabbata. ¹⁴ Hari mu myiteguro ya Pasika, hari nko ku saha ya gatandatu, Pilato arababwira ngo : Nguyu umwami wanyu. ¹⁵ Baragamba cane, mukure, mukureho, mubambe. ¹⁶ Pilato arababwira ngo : Mbambe umwami wanyu ? Abatambyi bakuru barasubiz ngo : Dufite umwami ni Kaisari gusa. Nuko aramubahereza kugira ngo abambwe. Bafata Yesu baramusohora. ¹⁷ Yesu, yikirera umusaraba, agera i Nyabihanga, hari hitwa mu giheburayo i Gologota. ¹⁸ Aho niho yabambwe hamwe n'abandi babiri umwe m'uruhande, undi m'urundi ruhande na Yesu hagati. ¹⁹ Pilato yandika icapa, agishira k'umusaraba, kuri ico capa hari handitswe ngo : Yesu w'i Nazareti Umwami w'Abayuda. ²⁰ Abayuda kangari basomaga ico capa kuko ahantu Yesu yari yabambwe hari hafi y'umugi : Ico capa cari canditswe mu giheburayo, mu kilatini no mu kigiriki. ²¹ Abatambyi bakuru b'Abayuda babwira Pilato ngo : Ntiwandike : Umwami w'Abayuda. Ahubwo wandike ko yagambye ngo : Ndi Umwami w'Abayuda. ²² Pilato arabasubiza : Ibyo nanditse, nabyanditse. ²⁴ Abasoda, bamaze kubamba Yesu, bafashe imyenda ye, bayigabamo kane, buri musoda abona urwe ruhare. Bafata ikanzu ye, yari idafite uruteranirizo, kuva hejuru ukageza hasi. ²³ Baja inama ubwabo. Ntituyishnyaguze, ahubwo tuyifindire turebe uwo irahereraho. Ibyo birasohora kugirango ibyanditswe bishike : Bagabanye imyenda yanje, bafindiye ikanzu yanje. Ibyo nibyo abasoda bakoze. ²⁸ Hanyuma y'ibyo, Yesu, yarazi ko byose birangiye, kandi ko ibyanditswe bigiye gusohora aragamba ngo : Mfite imyota. ²⁹ Aho ngaho hari ikibindi cuzuyemo divayi ishaririye. Abasoda buzuza sipongo, bayihambira ku itabi ry'igiti, barayimusomesha. ³⁰ Ubwo Yesu yaramaze gusomakuri iyo divayi ishariraq aragamba ngo : Byose birasohoye. Yunamisha umutwe, arapfa. ³¹ Mugutinya ko umubiri udakomeza kuba k'umusaraba igihe c'isabato, kuko biteguraga, kandi umusi gw'isabato gwari umusi gukomeye, Abayuda basaba Pilato kuvunagura amaguru y'ababambwe bakabakuraho. ³² Nuko abasoda baraza, bavuna amaguru g'uwa mbere n'uwundi wari ubambanywe nawe. ³³ Begerye Yesu, babona ko yapfuye, ntibamuvuna amaguru. ³⁴ Ariko umwe muri abo basoda amutera icumu m'urubavu, mu kanya havamo amaraso n'amazi. ³⁵ Uwabibonye niwe ubihamya, kandi ubuhamya bwe n'ubw'ukuri, kandi azi ko ari kugamba ukuri kugira ngo mubyizere. ³⁷ Ibi bintu byabereyeho, kugirango ibyanditswe bisohore ngo : Nta gufa rye na rimwe rizavunwa. ³⁶ Ahandi iyanditswe biragamba ngo : Bazarebe uwo bateye icumu. ³⁸ Nyuma yaho, Yosefu wa Armateya wari umwigishwa wa Yesu, ariko mu banga kuko yatinyaga Abayuda, asaba Pilato uruhusha rwo gufata umubiri wa Yesu. Pilato arabimwemerera. Araza, afata umubiri wa Yesu. ³⁹ Nikodemu, wa wundi wari wagiye kureba Yesu n'ijoro, nawe araza, azana amarasi avanze n'ibhumura neaza bipima nk'ibiro ijana. ⁴¹ Bafata umubiri gwa Yesu, baguzingira mu bitambara, n'ibihumura neza nkuko gwari umugenzo gwo guhamba mu Bayuda. ⁴⁰ Hafi, aho hari akarima k'amauwa, niho bari babambye Yesu, muri uwo murima hari imva nshasha itari yahambwamo umuntu. ⁴² Nimo bahambye Yesu kubera imyiteguro y'Abayuda, iyo mva ntiyari bugufi.
