[1] Umutwenzi utambitse, uwo mwanya abaherezi bakuru, abashingantahe, abahinga b'ivyanditswe n'abashingantahe ba sentare bose baja inama, baboha Yesu, baramujana, bamushikiriza Pilato.
[2] Pilato aramubaza ati: “Ni wewe Mwami w'Abayuda?” Na we aramwishura ati: “Urarivuze.”
[3] Abaherezi bakuru bamurega vyinshi.
[4] Pilato yongera kumubaza ati: “Nta co wiregura?” Umve ivyo bakwagiriza ingene ari vyinshi.
[5] Maze Yesu ntiyasubira kwishura ijambo na rimwe, bituma Pilato atangara.
[6] Muri iyo misi mikuru yahora abarekurira imbohe imwe, uwo bamusavye.
[7] Hariho umwe yitwa Baraba, yabohanywe n'abagararije, bishe abantu muri ukwo kugarariza.
[8] Ishengero riraduga, ritangura gusaba ko abagirira nk'uko yamenyereye.
[9] Pilato arababaza ko bagomba ko abarekurira Umwami w'Abayuda?
[10] Kuko yamenye yuko ishari ari ryo ryatumye abaherezi bakuru bamutanga.
[11] Maze abaherezi bakuru bosha ishengero gusaba ngo ivyoba vyiza abarekurire Baraba.
[12] Pilato yongera kubabaza ati: “None uwo mwita Umwami w'Abayuda, we ndamugire nte?”
[13] Bongera kuyogora bati: “Mubambe.”
[14] Pilato arababaza ati: “Ku ki? Yakoze ikibi ki?” Maze barushiriza kuyogora cane bati: “Mubambe.”
[15] Pilato agomvye kumara ishavu ishengero, abarekurira Baraba, maze atanga Yesu ngo abambwe, amaze kumutonagura.
[16] Maze abasoda bamujana imbere mu rugo, ari rwo boma, bahamagara ingabo zose, ziraterana.
[17] Bamwambika impuzu y'agahama, batsiba igitsibo c'amahwa, bakimwambika mu mutwe;
[18] batangura kumuramutsa bati: “Ndagize bwakeye, Mwami w'Abayuda.”
[19] Bamukubita irenga mu mutwe, bamuvuma amate, barapfukama, bamukomera amashi.
[20] Bamaze kumucurira, bamwambura ya mpuzu y'agahama, bamwambika impuzu ziwe, bamurengana irembo bamushoreye kumubamba.
[21] Bafata umuntu ahita, Simoni Umunyakurene, avuye mu misozi, ni se wa Alekisandero na Rufo, ngo amutwaze umusaraba.
[22] Bamushikana Yesu ahitwa i Gologota, risobanurwa ngo ahantu h' agahanga.
[23] Bamuha umuvinyu uvanze n'umuti w'umururazi, ntiyawunywa.
[24] Baramubamba, bagabura impuzu ziwe, barazipfindira, ngo bamenye iyo umuntu wese atwara.
[25] Igihe babamba Yesu zari isaha zitatu.
[26] Icandiko c'ikirego candikwa hejuru yiwe ngo UMWAMI W'ABAYUDA.
[27] Kandi babambana na we abambuzi babiri, umwe i buryo bwiwe, uwundi i bubamfu. [
[28] Nuko ivyanditswe birashika, ngo Yaharuranywe n'abanyavyaha.]
[29] Abahahita baramucurira, bazunguza imitwe bati: “Yo, wewe usambura urusengero, ukarwubaka mu misi itatu,
[30] ni wikize, wimanure ku musaraba.”
[31] N'abaherezi bakuru bamucurira batyo, banwengurana n'abahinga b'ivyanditswe bati: “Yakijije abandi, we ntashobora kwikiza;
[32] Kristo Umwami w'Abisirayeli ni yimanure ku musaraba ubu nyene, tubibone twizere.” N'abari babambanywe na we na bo baramutuka.
[33] Maze isaha zitandatu zishitse, ubwirakabiri bukorana mu gihugu cose, bushitsa kw'isaha y'icenda.
[34] Kw'isaha y'icenda Yesu asemerera n'ijwi rirenga ati: “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakatani?” Risobanurwa ngo Mana yanje, Mana yanje, ni igiki kikumpebesheje?
[35] Maze bamwe mu bahahagaze bavyumvise baravuga bati: “Umve, ahamagaye Eliya.”
[36] Umwe arirukanga, yakira sipongo, ayuzuza inkarisha, ayirungikisha irenga; arayimusomesha ati: “Hinge turabe ko Eliya yoza kumubambura.”
[37] Maze Yesu avuga n'ijwi rirenga, aracikana.
[38] Igihuzu gikingira ahera cane h'urusengero gitantamukamwo kubiri, uhereye hejuru ugashitsa hasi.
[39] Intwazangabo y'abasoda ijana yari ihahagaze bahanganye, ibonye acikanye atyo, iravuga ati: “Ni ivyo ukuri, uwu muntu yari Umwana w'Imana.”
[40] Hariho n'abagore bari kure babiraba, muri bo harimwo Mariya Magadalene, na Mariya nyina wa Yakobo mutoya na Yose, harimwo na Salome.
[41] Abo bagore, aho yaba i Galilaya, baramukurikira bakamukorera; kandi hariho n'abandi bagore benshi bari baduganye na we i Yerusalemu.
[42] Bugorovye, kuko wari umusi wo Kwitegura, ni wo musi utangurira isabato,
[43] haza Yosefu w'i Arimataya, umushingantahe w'icubahiro, kandi na we yari areretse ubwami bw'Imana, ararinduka aja kuri Pilato, asaba ikiziga ca Yesu.
[44] Ariko Pilato biramutangaza ko yoba amaze gupfa; ahamagaza ya ntwazangabo y'abasoda, ayibaza yuko amaze umwanya apfuye.
[45] Maze yumvise ivyo iyo ntwazangabo imubwiye, aha Yosefu ikiziga.
[46] Agura impuzu yera, arakibambura akizingira muri ino mpuzu, agishira mu mva yimbwe mu bitandara, atembagaza ikibuye acugaza umuryango w'imva.
[47] Mariya Magadalene na Mariya nyina wa Yose babona aho ahambwe.
