1 Obu Yesu aamali̱ye kusaba, eye hamui na beeghesebuwa be baaghenda, baabhasuka kighona kya Ki̱di̱looni̱, baahi̱ka mu musili ghwa bi̱ghu̱ma Oli̱va.

2 Yu̱da oghu aaghendagha ku̱mu̱ghobeli̱ya, akaba asangu̱u̱we amani̱ye ki̱i̱kalo eki baaghendi̱yemu, nanga Yesu aasanguwagha naaghendayo na beeghesebuwa be aba. 3 Nahabweki Yu̱da aasa ahikiiye kiigambi̱ kya baasilikale na balemi̱ aba bakulu baa bahongi̱ na Bafali̱saayo baatu̱mi̱ye. Bantu aba baasa bakwete maataala na maatoci̱ hamui na biita bikani̱ye.

4 Nahabweki ngoku Yesu aabaagha amani̱ye byona ebikughenda kumubʼo, aabeebinga, aababu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Ni ani̱ mukwete kubbala?”

5 Baamukuukamu bati, “Tukwete kubbala Yesu wʼomu tau̱ni̱ ya Najaaleeti̱.”

Yesu aabaghila ati, “Ni̱i̱syoni.” (Na Yu̱da oghu aaghendagha ku̱mu̱ghobeli̱ya anaamiliiyʼo). 6 Yesu akaba makamala kughila ati, “Ni̱i̱syoni,” du̱mbi̱ baakuukilani̱ya, beegengakaka hansi, haabwa maani̱ ghe.

7 Aatodha aababu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Mukwete kubbala ani̱?”

Baatodha baamukuukamu bati, “Yesu wʼomu tau̱ni̱ ya Najaaleeti̱.”

8 Du̱mbi̱ Yesu aabaghila ati, “Naabaghambiiye nti, ni̱i̱syoni. Ti̱ alakaba aali̱i̱syoni mukubbala, muleke abankweme bani ebo baghende.” 9 Aabu̱gha ebi ku̱u̱su̱li̱i̱si̱ya ebi aasangu̱u̱we abu̱ghi̱ye ati, “Tita aba wampaaye taaliyo nʼomui oghu ndileka andu̱ghʼo.”* 18:9 Yohaana 17:12

10 Du̱mbi̱ Si̱mooni̱ Peetelo oghu akaba ali na kihiyo aakibhulayo, aajombʼo mu̱heeleli̱ya wa mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona kutui kwabuliyo. (Li̱i̱na lya mu̱heeleli̱ya oghu baamughilaghamu Mali̱ku̱si̱).

11 Bhaatu Yesu aalaghila Peetelo ati, “Ku̱u̱ki̱yayo kihiyo kyawe eki! Mbhonganuuwe kubona-bona ngoku Tita aategheki̱ye ati mbona-bone.”

12 Du̱mbi̱ kiigambi̱ kya baasilikale aba na mukulu wabo hamui na balemi̱ baa Bayu̱daaya, baakwata Yesu. Bamuboha 13 baadu̱bha baamutwala ewaa Anansi nkyame sya Kayaafa. Kayaafa oghu niiye akaba ali mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona mwaka oghu. 14 Kayaafa oghu niiye akasanguwa ahabuuye beebembeli̱ baa Bayu̱daaya ati nkilungi muntu omui ku̱ku̱wa haabwa bantu boona.* 18:14 Yohaana 11:49-50

15 Si̱mooni̱ Peetelo hamui na mweghesebuwa onji baaghenda bakweme Yesu. Mweghesebuwa onji oghu, bakaba bamumani̱ye bhyani ewaa mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona, du̱mbi̱ aataha na Yesu hanjaakati ya mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona. 16 Bhaatu Peetelo aakala alindiiye hanja haa mulyango ghwa lugho. Mweghesebuwa oghu baabaagha bamani̱ye ewaa mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona, aakuuka eesengeleli̱ya manaabukali̱ oghu akaba ali̱ndi̱ye haa mulyango du̱mbi̱ aasi̱i̱mi̱lani̱i̱ye Peetelo kutaahayo.

17 Obu aanataahagha, manaabukali̱ oghu aamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Naawe tooli omui mu beeghesebuwa baa musaasa oghu?”

Peetelo aakuukamu ati, “Si̱ye bbaa.”

18 Bwile obu, mpeu yakwatila kimui, du̱mbi̱ baheeleli̱ya aba hamui na balemi̱ baa Bayu̱daaya beemilila haai na mulilo kwota. Peetelo naye, akaba aamiliiye nabo noota.

19 Niibuwo mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona aabu̱u̱i̱ye Yesu haa njegheesi̱ya yee, hamui na beeghesebuwa be.

20 Yesu aamukuukamu ati, “Bu̱li̱ kilo neegheseli̱yagha mu malami̱li̱yo ghaa Bayu̱daaya kandi na bbalaaji ya Numba ya Luhanga, hambali Bayu̱daaya bakani̱ye bakwekumani̱li̱yagha. Ti̱ taaliyo eki naabu̱ghi̱ye mu ki̱bi̱so bbaa. 21 Okwete ku̱mbu̱u̱li̱ya otiyo nangaaki? Obu̱u̱li̱ye abaaghu̱wagha ni̱mbu̱gha. Majima kuwo bamani̱ye ebi naabu̱ghagha.”

22 Obu Yesu aabu̱ghi̱ye atiyo, omui mu bakulu abaali beemiliyʼo aamutali̱ya haali̱i̱so. Aaghila Yesu ati, “Niikuwo okukuukaghamu otiyo mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona?”

23 Yesu aaghila ati, “Ndakaba ninaabu̱ghi̱ye kubhi, ohe buukai̱so obukwoleka eki naasobeei̱ye. Bhaatu ndakaba ninaabu̱ghi̱ye majima, ekyaleki̱ye wantali̱ya nkiki?” 24 Du̱mbi̱ Anansi aalaghila ati bamu̱ku̱u̱ki̱ye banamu̱bohi̱ye ewaa Kayaafa, mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona.

25 Obu Peetelo aabaagha eemiliiye noota mulilo, baamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya bati, “Uwe naawe tooli omui mu beeghesebuwa baa musaasa oghu?”

Eehighaana naaghila ati, “Si̱ye bbaa.”

26 Omui mu baheeleli̱ya baa mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona, lughanda lwa musaasa oghu Peetelo aajombi̱yʼo kutui, aamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Tanuuwe naaboone oli na musaasa oghu mu musili ghwa biti Oli̱va?” 27 Peetelo aatodha eehighaana, du̱mbi̱ bwile bwonini nkoko yaakooka.

28 Nkyambisi cu̱i̱-cu̱i̱ beebembeli̱ baa Bayu̱daaya baaghenda ewaa Kayaafa baayayo Yesu, baamutwala mu kikaali kya Pilaato mu̱lemi̱ Mulooma. Bhaatu baabhenga kutaaha mu kikaali kya mu̱lemi̱ oghu. Baabbalagha kuukala baneeli̱ye ewaa Luhanga kusighikila haa mi̱ghendi̱yo yabo, niikuwo bagubhe kuliya haa kiihulo kya Ki̱ghenu̱ kya Kuusuka Kusaaluwʼo. 29 Nahabweki Pilaato aatuwa aabeebinga kandi aababu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Musaasa oni, mukumunyeghelelʼo musango ki?”

30 Baamukuukamu bati, “Nguli ataatu̱u̱ye musango ghwamaani̱ tatwangu̱mu̱leeti̱ye ewaawe bbaa.”

31 Pilaato aaghila ati, “Ngughu; mumutwale, mu̱mu̱twi̱le musango ni̱mu̱koleesi̱ya bilaghilo byanu.”

Baamukuukamu bati, “Etu̱we tatuli na bu̱toki̱ bwa ku̱twi̱la muntu weena musango ghwa ku̱ku̱wa.” 32 Ebi bikabʼo ku̱u̱su̱li̱i̱si̱ya ebi Yesu aasangu̱u̱we aabu̱ghi̱ye nooleka mulingo oghu aaghendagha ku̱kwi̱lamu.

33 Du̱mbi̱ Pilaato akuukayo aataaha mu kikaali kiye, aatodha aabilikila Yesu, aamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Nuuwe Mukama wa Bayu̱daaya?”

34 Yesu aamukuukamu ati, “Wambu̱u̱i̱ye otiyo haabwa kweli̱li̱kana kwawe, kedha muntu onji niiye aakughambiiye ebinkwetʼo?”

35 Pilaato aamukuukamu ati, “Buuye si̱ye ndi Mu̱yu̱daaya? Ni bantu baawe hamui na bakulu baanu baa bahongi̱ abaakuleeti̱ye ewanje. Ti̱ uwe mbiki waakoli̱ye?”

36 Yesu aamughila ati, “Bukama bwanje tabuli bwa munsi muni bbaa. Nguli bwabaagha buli bwa munsi muni, baheeleli̱ya banje bangulwane na beebembeli̱ baa Bayu̱daaya bati batakwata si̱ye. Bhaatu bukama bwanje bu̱lu̱ghi̱ye mu ki̱i̱kalo kinji.”

37 Pilaato aamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Kikumani̱i̱si̱ya oli Mukama?”

Yesu aamukuukamu ati, “Waahi̱ki̱i̱ye kughila oti ndi mukama. Majima kuwo eki niikiyo kyaleki̱ye naabyaluwa kandi naasa munsi muni. Nkaasa kughambila bantu majima. Muntu weena oghu akubbalagha kumanya majima agha niiye aku̱u̱ghu̱wagha ebi nku̱bu̱ghagha.”

38 Pilaato aamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Majima kikumani̱i̱si̱ya ki?” Obu aamali̱ye ku̱bu̱gha ebi, aatuwa, aaghila Bayu̱daaya aba ati, “Bhaawai̱, musaasa oni tamboone ali na musango bbaa! 39 Bhaatu nkukola ngoku nkaakukolagha, haa bu̱li̱ Ki̱ghenu̱ kya Kuusuka Kusaaluwʼo. Nkulekela munyankomo omui oghu mukusaba muti ndekele. Buuye mukubbala ndekele Mukama wa Bayu̱daaya?”

40 Baamukuukamu mbagolela kimui bati, “Oghu bbaa, oghu bbaa! Tukubbala olekele Balaba!” Balaba oghu bakaba bamukwete haabwa kuba muheekela.
