1Awo obwire owebwaceire amakeezi, abakabona abakulu bonabona nʼabantu abakulu omwigwanga, ni bateesa era ni basalawo okwita oYesu. 2Kale ni bamusiba amangalo, ni bamutwala ni bamuwaayo eeri oPiraato omufugi oMulooma.

3Atyanu oYuda eyaliiremu oYesu olukwe, oweyaboine ngʼoYesu bamusaliire ogwʼokufa, ni yeejusa olwʼekiyabbaire akolere. Era amandusu gʼefeeza nago 30 nʼagakanjirya abakabona abakulu, nʼabantu abakulu omwigwanga,* 4ngʼabakoba ati, “Nkolere kibbikibbi okuwaayo omuntu abulaku omusango okumwita!” Neye ibo ni bairamu bati, “Kaisi iswe ekyo kitukwataku? Iwe ekyo kigosikyo.” 5Kale oYuda nʼamuma amandusu ago omu Yeekaalu, kaisi nʼayaba ni yeemyeda.

6Neye abakabona abakulu ni balondya amandusu ago, era ni bakoba bati, “Amateeka gaiswe tigaikirirya okuteeka empiiya ginu omwigwanika, olwakubba gyʼokusuka isaaye.” 7Kale owebamalire okuteesa, ni bagigulamu ekigona ekibakuulangamu eitakali lyʼokubbumbamu ebintu, baliikengemu abageni. 8Era ekyo niikyo ekigira ekigona ekyo bakyeta Kigona kyʼoKusuka Isaaye paka atyanu.

9Awo onaabbi Yeremiya ekiyatumwire ni kituukirira ekikoba kiti:

11Awo oYesu ni bamutwala ni bamwemererya omu maiso ga Piraato omufugi oMulooma era omufugi oyo nʼamubuulya ati, “Niiwe okabaka wʼaBayudaaya?” OYesu nʼamwiramu ati, “Ee, kityo ngʼowookobere.”

12Neye abakabona abakulu nʼabantu abakulu omwigwanga owebabbaire bamuvunaana, tiyabairiremu kadi. 13Awo oPiraato nʼamubuulya ati, “Towulira ebyo byonabyona ebibakulumiriza?” 14Neye oYesu nandi nʼamwiramu ekibono kadi kimo kwebyo ebibamuvunaanire. Era omufugi oyo ni yeewunya ino.

15Atyanu mu buli biseera ebyʼoMukolo ogwʼoKutambukirya, yabbaire mpisa yʼomufugi oMulooma okuteeranga omusibe, abantu ogubamusabanga okuteera. 16Kale oku mulundi ogwo, wabbairewo omusibe owakabbikabbi ogubabbaire bamaite ino, nga bamweta Bbalaba. 17Era abantu owebakumbaine e wa Piraato nʼababuulya ati, “Aliina ogumutaka mbateerere; Bbalaba, ooba Yesu abamo ogumweta oKurisito ogubasukireku amafuta?” 18Yababwirye atyo olwakubba yabbaire amaite ati bawaireyo oYesu egyali lwʼengongi.

19Awo oPiraato oweyabbaire atyaime oku ntebe eyʼobulamuzi, omukaliwe nʼamutumira obukwenda ngʼakoba ati, “Omuntu oyo abula omusango, kale tiwamukola ekintu kyonakyona, olwakubba ngadire ino omu kiire kinu omu kirooto okululwe.”

20Neye abakabona abakulu, nʼabantu abakulu omwigwanga, ni basendasenda ekiziima kyʼabantu okusaba oPiraato ateere Bbalaba, neye iye oYesu bamwite. 21Awo oPiraato nʼababuulya ati, “Oku babiri mutaka mbateerere naani?” Ni bairamu bati, “Bbalaba.”

22Awo oPiraato omufugi oyo oMulooma nʼababuulya ati, “Kaisi iye oYesu abamo ogumweta oKurisito ogubasukireku amafuta mmukole ntya?” Bonabona ni bairamu bati, “Omukomerere oku musalabba!” 23Neye oPiraato nʼababuulya ati, “Lwaki? Kibbikibbiki ekyakolere?” Neye ibo ni bongeramu maani kukooka-bukooki bati, “Iwe omukomerere ku musalabba!”

24Awo oPiraato oweyaboine nga bimukaisirye, era nʼabantu nga bataka kwediima, nʼakwata amaizi, era nʼanaaba omu ngalo* omu maiso gʼekiziima kya bantu nga waakoba ati, “Nze mpaawo kibanvunaana oku kwita omusaiza oyo. Neye kigosi kyanywe.”

25Era abantu bonabona ni bairamu bati, “Oleke omusango gubbe ku niiswe nʼabaana baiswe olwʼokufaakwe!”

26Kale oPiraato nʼabateerera oBbalaba. Neye nʼalagira ni bafaamuula oYesu nʼofaalu aliku emirobo egisima, kaisi nʼamuwaayo okwaba okumukomerera oku musalabba.

27Awo abaisulukale bʼomufugi oMulooma ni batwala oYesu omu lubiri lwʼomufugi nago, olubeeta Pulaitoriyo. Era ni bakumbaania abaisulukale abʼekibinja ekyo bonabona ni beeruguulirirya oYesu. 28Awo ni bamutoolamu ebizwalobye, ni bamuzwalisya ekizwalo ekitukuliikiriri. 29Era ni baluka engule eya mawa, ni bagimuzwalisya oku mutwe. Ni bamukwatisya nʼolugada omu ngaloye endiiro. Awo ni bakoma amazwi omu maisoge, ni bamukiina nga bamukoba bati, “Owangaale, iwe okabaka wʼaBayudaaya!” 30Era ni bamwandaku ebitanta, ni bakwata olugada, ni bamukubba oku mutwe emirundi nʼemirundi.

31Awo owebamalire okumukiina, ni bamutoolamu ekizwalo kidi ekitukuliikiriri, ni bamuzwalisya ebizwalo ebibye, awo ni bamutwala okumukomerera.

32Awo owebabbaire bawuluka omu kibuga e Yerusaalemi, ni basangaana omusaiza owʼe Kuleene, ogubeeta oSimooni, ni bamukaka okwetiika omusalabba gwa Yesu. 33Era owebatuukire omu kifo ekibeeta Gologoosa, amakulu gaakyo eKifo kyʼeKiyanga, 34ni bawa oYesu enviinyo okunywa, nga bagitabwiryemu ekintu ekirulu ooti maizi gʼomu ndulwe. Neye oweyakombereku, nʼagaana okuginywa.*

35Awo owebamalire okumukomerera oku musalabba, ni bagabana ebizwalobye, nga babikubbiraku kalulu.* 36Oluzwanyuma lwʼekyo ni batyama awo era ni bamukuuma.

37Era e ngulu wʼomutwegwe bateekereyo ekiwandiiko kyʼomusango ogubamuvunaana bati, “ONU NIIYE OYESU, OKABAKA WʼABAYUDAAYA.” 38Era ni bakomerera nʼabaibbi babiri oku misalabba okumpi nʼoYesu, omoiza oku lubba lwa Yesu olwʼengalo endiiro, nʼogondi oku lwʼengooda.

39Awo ababbaire babitawo ni batengeetya emitwe nʼobulwa nga baduula oYesu,* 40era ni bakoba bati, “Iwe ayaba okuvunawo eYeekaalu, tete ogyombeke omu naku isatu, weeramye. Aale ngʼoli Mwana wa Kibbumba, ozwe oku musalabba oike ansi!”*

41Era abakabona abakulu nʼabakugu omu byʼaMateeka ga Musa, nʼabantu abakulu omwigwanga bona ni bamukiina, nga bakoba bati, 42“Yalamyanga abandi, tayezya okweramya onyere! Iye oKabaka wa Isirairi, aale atyanu azwe oku musalabba aike ansi kaisi tumwikiririryemu. 43Akoba ati yeesiga Kibbumba, era yakobere ati Mwana wa Kibbumba. Kale aale ngʼoKibbumba amutaka, amulamye.”*

44Era abaibbi abebakomereire okumpi naye, bona ni bamuduula mu ngeri enanyere eyo.

45Atyanu okuzwa oku saawa omukaaga egyʼomusana, paka oku saawa omwenda egyʼeigolo, endikiirya nʼekwata oku kyalo kyonakyona. 46Era oku saawa ooti mwenda, oYesu nʼakunga nʼeigono eryaminkirira ati, “Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabbakusaani?” Amakulu gaakyo gati, “Kibbumba wange, Kibbumba wange, lwaki ondekerewo?”*

47Era abamo kwabo ababbaire beemereire aawo owebawuliire, ni bakoba bati, “Ayeta onaabbi Eriya!” 48Era amangu ago omoiza kwibo nʼairuka, nʼakwata ekijuulo, nʼakitimya omu nviinyo ensasaami, nʼakiteeka oku lugada, nʼawa oYesu okufunfuuna.*

49Neye abandi ni bakoba bati, “Aale muleke tubone ooba ngʼEriya yaiza nʼamulamya!” 50Awo oYesu tete nʼakunga nʼeigono eryaminkirira, era nʼafa.

51Omu kaseera ako olutimbe olwʼomu Yeekaalu ni lunyiirikamu akati, okuzwa angulu okutuuka ansi ni bibba ebitundu bibiri. Ekyalo ni kitengeeta, era amabbaale ni gaatikamu.* 52Era amagombe agamo ni gaatikamu, era abatuukirirye bangi ababbaire bafiire oKibbumba nʼabazuukiza, 53ni bazwa omu magombe. Era oluzwanyuma lwa Yesu okuzuukira, ni baaba omu kibuga e Yerusaalemi, era abantu bangi ni bababona.

54Omukulu wʼekibinja kyʼabaisulukale 100 era nʼabaisulukale ababbaire naye nga bakuuma oYesu, owebaboine ngʼomusisi atengeetya ekyalo, era nʼebintu ebindi byonabyona ebyabbairewo, ni batya ino, ni bakoba bati, “Dala onu abbaire niiye oMwana wa Kibbumba!”

55Era wabbairewo abakali bangi aawo ababbaire e yalakuuku nga balengera. Babbaire basengereirye oYesu kuzwa Galiraaya nga bamuweererya. 56Era mwibo mwabbairemu oMalyamu oMangadaleena, nʼoMalyamu omaaye wa Yaakobbo nʼoYusufu, era nʼomaaye wʼabataane ba Zebedaayo.*

57Awo obwire owebwabbaire bwatira okwirugala, omusaiza omusuni owʼAlimasaaya ogubeeta oYusufu, era yena eyabbaire asuukire omwegi wa Yesu nʼatuuka egibakomereire oYesu. 58Kale nʼayaba egiri oPiraato, nʼamusaba omulambo gwa Yesu. Era oPiraato nʼalagira okugumuwa.

59Kale oYusufu nʼatwala omulambo, nʼagulingira omu lugoye olutukula, olusa olwʼebbeeyi eino. 60Era nʼaguteeka omu magombege agʼempuku, ageyabbaire yankatemanga omwibbaale era nga tateekangakuumu mulambo. Nʼayiringitya ogubbaale, nʼaigalira omulyango ogwʼamagombe, nʼazwawo. 61Era oMalyamu oMangadaleena nʼoMalyamu ogondi babbaire batyaime aawo okumpi nga balingiriire oku magombe.

62Awo oku lunaku olwairireku, era nga ku Saabbaato, abakabona abakulu nʼaBafalisaayo, ni baaba egiri oPiraato, 63ni bamukoba bati, “Musengwa, twewukirya tuti omubbeyi oyo oweyabbaire ngʼakaali mwomi, yakobere ati oluzwanyuma lwʼokufa yalizuukira oku lunaku lwokusatu.* 64Kale olagire bakuumire nakimo amagombe paka oku lunaku lwʼokusatu nga bamuliikire. Anambula ekyo abeegibe bayinza okwaba ni baibbamu omulambogwe, kaisi ni bakobera abantu bati, ‘Azuukire!’ Olwo obubbeyi obwʼoluzwanyuma obwo bubba bwabba bubbibubbi okukiraku obwasookere.”

65Awo oPiraato nʼabakoba ati, “Mutwale abaisulukale abakuumi, era bakuumire nakimo amagombe ago ngʼowebeezya.” 66Kale ni baaba, ni basiba bakalangulira nakimo eibbaale omu mulyango, era ni balekawo abakuumi.
