1Awo abʼolukiiko bonabona ababbairewo ni basetuka, ni batwala oYesu egiri oPiraato. 2Era owebamutuucirye ni batandiika okumuwaabira nga bakoba bati, “Onu twamwajiirye ngʼasasamaza abantu bʼeigwanga lyaiswe, ngʼabaloberya okuwa oKaisaali omusolo, era nga yeeyeta Kurisito ogubasukireku amafuta, okabaka.” 3OPiraato nʼamubuulya ati, “Niiwe okabaka wʼaBayudaaya?” OYesu nʼamwiramu ati, “Ee, kityo ngʼowookobere.” 4Awo oPiraato nʼakoba abakabona abakulu nʼekiziima kyʼabantu ati, “Timbona musango ogumuvunaana omuntu onu.” 5Neye ibo ni beekalangula nʼamaani okumukakasa bati, “Asasamaza abantu omu njegesyaye. Yatandiikire mwitwale lyʼe Galiraaya, nʼabita omu Buyudaaya mwonamwona ngoyo atyanu atuukire nʼaanu.”

6Kale oPiraato oweyawuliire ebyo, nʼabuulya ooba ngʼomuntu oyo Mugaliraaya. 7Oweyamanyicirye ati oYesu azwa mwitwale lya Kerode, nʼamuweererya egyali, aate ngʼoKerode yena omu naku egyo yabbaire mu Yerusaalemi.

8Kale awo oKerode oweyaboine oYesu nʼasangaala ino olwakubba yabbaire awuliire ebimufaaku, era okuzwa eira nʼeira yatakanga okumubona, era ngʼasuubira okumubona ngʼakola ebyewunyo. 9Kale nʼabuulya oYesu ebibuulyo bingi, neye oYesu nandi nʼamwiramu kadi kimo. 10Awo-so abakabona abakulu nʼabakugu omu byʼaMateeka ga Musa ni beeteekawo, kaisi ni bakaalaama nʼamaani oku Yesu. 11Awo oKerode nʼabaisulukalebe ni bamunyaiya nga bamutala era ni bamukiina kaisi oKerode nʼamuzwalisya ekizwalo ekimirikiinya, era nʼalagira ni bamukanja e wa Piraato. 12OKerode nʼoPiraato ababbaire bacaawaganire ngʼensonga gya Yesu gikaali okubbaawo, ni basuuka ba mukago oku lunaku oolwo.

13Awo oPiraato nʼayeta abakabona abakulu nʼabamo oku bʼakakiiko akafugi nʼekiziima kyʼabantu ekyabbaire awo. 14Era nʼabakoba ati, “Muleetere omuntu oyo egyendi nga mukoba muti asasamaza abantu; aale mubone, mmubuuliirye omu maiso gaanywe, era timboinemu musango mwebyo ebimusinziriraku okumuvunaana. 15Era waire oKerode yena atyo tasunire ekyokumuvunaana, kagira amwirirye egituli. Ngʼowemubona omuntu oyo mpaawo musango oguyabbengere ogumusinziriraku okumusalira ogwʼokufa. 16Aale njaba okumubonereza, kaisi mmuteere.” [ 17Kyabbaire kityo olwakubba ku buli Mukolo ogwʼoKutambukirya, oPiraato yateekwanga okubateerera omusibe ogubamusabanga].**

18Kale awo ekiziima kyʼabantu kyonakyona ni kiceerera aamo kiti, “Oyo omwite-bwiti, otuteerere Bbalaba!” 19OBbalaba oyo yabbaire musibe omu mabbuusu olwʼakeediimo ekiyakolere omu kibuga era nʼolwʼomuntu oguyabbaire aitire.

20Atyo oPiraato nʼagezyaku okubagambirirya tete ngʼataka okuteera oYesu. 21Neye ibo ni beeyongera okukooka bati, “Omukomerere oku musalabba, omukomerere oku musalabba!”

22Tete era oPiraato nʼababuulya omulundi ogwokusatu ati, “Lwaki? Kibbikibbiki ekyakolere? Timbona nsonga kwiye emusingisya omusango ogwʼokufa. Aale owenaabba nga mmalire okumubonereza, nʼamuteera.” 23Neye ibo ni beeyongera okukooka nga bakakasa bati oYesu bamukomerere oku musalabba era ni bamuyinga. 24Kale oPiraato yena nʼasalawo okukola ekibamusabire. 25Awo nʼabateerera omusaiza oyo ogubamusabire, eyabbaire omusibe omu mabbuusu olwʼakeediimo akeyakolere nʼolwʼomuntu oguyabbaire aitire, era nʼawaayo oYesu eeri abantu ngʼowebabbaire bataka.

26Awo abaisulukale owebabbaire batwala oYesu, ni basangaana omusaiza ogubeeta oSimooni owʼe Kuleene, eyabbaire akanga e ika omu kibuga ngʼazwa omu kyalo, era ni bamukaka ni bamuteekaku omusalabba okugwetiika ngʼazwaku oYesu e nyuma. 27Awo ekiyindi kyʼabantu kinene ni kisengererya oYesu, oomwo mwabbairemu abakali era ibo ni baaba nga bakunga era nga bakubba enduulu olwa Yesu. 28Neye oYesu nʼaira oku bakali abo kaisi nʼabakoba ati, “Inywe abakali abʼe Yerusaalemi, timwakunga okulwange; neye mwekungire niinywe abananyere era nʼolwa baana baanywe. 29Ekyo kityo olwakubba enaku gyalituuka, abantu owebalikobera bati, ‘Abakali abagumba bʼenkabi, era ebida ebitabyalangaku nʼamabeere agatayonkesyangaku byona nga byʼenkabi!’ 30Olwo balikoba ensozi bati, ‘Mutugweku,’ nʼobusozi bati, ‘Mutubbuuneku.’* 31Obanga abantu bakolere batyo ku musaale omubisi kaisi leero kyalibba kitya oku mukalu?”

32Awo wabbairewo abasaiza abandi babiri ababbaire oku gwʼokuvuna amateeka, abebatwaire okwitira aamo nʼoYesu. 33Kale owebatuukire omu kifo ekibeeta ekyʼeKiyanga, ni bakomerera awo oYesu oku musalabba nʼabavuni nago abamateeka, omoiza oku lubba lwa Yesu olwʼengalo endiiro, ogondi oku lwʼengooda. [ 34Awo oYesu nʼakoba ati, “Bbaabba, obasoniye olwakubba tibamaite ekibakola].”† Kale awo abaisulukale ni bagabula ebizwalo bya Yesu nga babikubbiraku kalulu.*

35Era abantu ni beemerera awo okubona ebintu ebyo ebyabbairewo, ngʼabafugi ibo bali kumusekerera nga bakoba bati, “Yalamyanga abandi, aale oleke yeeramye owaabba nga niiye oKurisito oMulonde wa Kibbumba!”*

36Cooka abaisulukale bona ni baigerera awo egibabbaire bamukomereire, ni bamukiina nga bamuwa enviinyo ensasaami okufunfuuna,* 37era nga bamukoba bati, “Owoobba nga niiwe okabaka wʼaBayudaaya, weeramye!”

38Era bateekereyo ekiwandiiko e ngulu oku musalabba ekibawandiikire bati, “ONU NIIYE OKABAKA WʼABAYUDAAYA.”

39Kale awo omoiza oku bavuni bamateeka abebabbaire bakomereire oku musalabba, nʼaduula oYesu ngʼamukoba ati, “Tiniiwe oKurisito ogubasukireku amafuta? Weeramye, na iswe swena otulamye.”

40Neye omuvuni wa mateeka oodi ogondi nʼakaawuukira omwinaye ati, “Iwe, totyaku oKibbumba olwakubba tuli oku kibonerezo kimo naye? 41Cooka iswe era mazima tuwoomera ekibonerezo kinu olwʼebitwakolere, neye omusaiza onu iye mpaawo ensobi egyakolere.” 42Era awo nʼayongeraku ati, “Yesu, wenewukiryanga owewaliirira omu kitiisya kyʼobwakabakabwo.”

43Neye iye oYesu nʼamwiramu ati, “Nkukobera amazima nti, olwatyanu waabba na nze omu kifo ekyokwesiima.”

44-45Awo esaawa gyabbaire ooti mukaaga egyʼomusana, eisana ni lirikira era endikiirya nʼekwata oku kyalo kyonakyona paka oku saawa omwenda egyʼeigolo. Era omu kaseera ako olutimbe olwʼomu Yeekaalu ni lunyiirikamu akati ni bibba ebitundu bibiri.* 46Awo oYesu nʼakunga maaminkirira ati, “Bbaabba, nkukwatisya omwoyo gwange!”* Oweyamalire okukunga atyo, nʼafa.

47Kale omukulu wʼekibinja kyʼabaisulukale 100 oweyaboine ebibbairewo, nʼawuuja oKibbumba era nʼakoba ati, “Dala onu abbaire musaiza atuukiriire!”

48Awo abantu bonabona ababbaire bakumbaine okweboneraku owebaboine ebibbairewo, ni bakanga e waabwe nga baizwire enima. 49Neye abakaagwa ba Yesu bonabona nʼabakali abamusengereirye okuzwa e Galiraaya, beemereire yalakuuku okulengeranga ebyabbairewo.*

50-51Awo, wabbairewo omusaiza eriinalye bati Yusufu, omusaiza oyo yabbaire mutyami wʼomu kibuga kyʼomu Buyudaaya ekibeeta Alimasaaya. Era yabbaire mukwenda oku lukiiko lwʼaBayudaaya olukulu, wazira tiyaikirizaganyire nalwo omu kiteeso kyokwita oYesu era nʼomu ngeri yʼokukikolamu. Yabbaire musaiza musa era ngʼatuukiriire, era ngʼakumiriire okubbaawo kwʼobwakabaka bwa Kibbumba. 52Kale oYusufu oyo nʼayaba egiri oPiraato, nʼamusaba omulambo gwa Yesu. 53Kale awo nʼagwanula oku musalabba, nʼagulingira omu lugoye olusa olwʼebbeeyi eino. Nʼaguteeka omu magombe agʼempuku egibabbaire nga batemere mwibbaale, igo agebabbaire nga tibagateekangakuumu mulambo. 54Olunaku lwʼokumuliika oolwo, lwabbaire lwa kwetegekeraku Saabbaato era eyabbaire yatira okutandiika.

55Batyo abakali ababbaire bazwereire nʼoYesu e Galiraaya, ni basengererya oYusufu, era ni babona amagombe, ni babona nʼengeri egibateekeremu omulambo gwa Yesu. 56Kale awo ni bakanga e waabwe, ni bategeka ebyakaloosa, nʼokalifuwa. Neye oku Saabbaato ni bawuumula ngʼeiteeka lyʼaBayudaaya oweriragira.*
