¹Naizvozvo ipapo Pirato wakatora Jesu, akamurova netyava.

¹Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

²Zvino mauto akaruka korona yemhinzwa akaisa pamusoro wake, ndokumupfekedza nguvo dzine ruvara rwehute.

²And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;

³Vakati: Hekanhi, Mambo wevaJudha! Ndokumurova nembama.

³and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.

⁴Naizvozvo Pirato akabudazve panze, ndokuti kwavari: Tarirai, ndinomubudisira kwamuri, kuti muzive kuti handiwani mhosva maari.

⁴And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.

⁵Naizvozvo Jesu wakabuda panze, akapfeka korona yemhinzwa, nenguvo ine ruvara rwehute. Pirato ndokuti kwavari: Tarirai munhu uyu!

⁵Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold, the man!

⁶Naizvozvo vapristi vakuru nemapurisa pavakamuona, vakadanidzira vachiti: Roverera pamuchinjikwa, roverera pamuchinjikwa! Pirato akati kwavari: Mutorei imwi, muroverere pamuchinjikwa; nekuti ini handiwani mhosva kwaari.

⁶When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.

⁷VaJudha vakamupindura vakati: Isu tine murairo, uye nemurairo wedu unofanira kufa, nekuti wakazviita Mwanakomana waMwari.

⁷The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

⁸Naizvozvo Pirato paakanzwa shoko iro, wakanyanya kutya.

⁸When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;

⁹Akapindazve mumba memutungamiriri, ndokuti kuna Jesu: Unobvepi iwe? Asi Jesu haana kumupa mhinduro.

⁹and he entered into the Praetorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰Pirato akati kwaari: Hautauri neni here? Hauzivi here kuti ndine simba rekukuroverera pamuchinjikwa uye ndine simba rekukusunungura?

¹⁰Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?

¹¹Jesu akapindura akati: Haungatongovi nesimba pamusoro pangu, dai usina kuripiwa kubva kumusoro; naizvozvo unondikumikidza kwauri une chivi chikuru.

¹¹Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.

¹²Kubva ipapo Pirato akatsvaka kumusunungura. Asi vaJudha vakadanidzira, vachiti: Kana mukasunungura uyu, hamusi shamwari yaKesari; umwe neumwe unozviita mambo, unopikisana naKesari.

¹²Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

¹³Naizvozvo Pirato anzwa shoko iri wakabudisa Jesu panze, akagara pachigaro chekutonga, panzvimbo inonzi Pakarongwa neMambwe, asi nechiHebheru Gabhata.

¹³When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

¹⁴Zvino raiva gadziriro repasika, uye raiva awa rinenge rechitanhatu; ndokuti kuvaJudha: Tarirai Mambo wenyu!

¹⁴Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!

¹⁵Asi vakadanidzira vachiti: Bvisai, bvisai, murovererei pamuchinjikwa! Pirato akati kwavari: Ndoroverera pamuchinjikwa mambo wenyu here? Vapristi vakuru vakapindura vachiti: Hatina mambo kunze kwaKesari.

¹⁵They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁶Naizvozvo ipapo akamukumikidza kwavari, kuti arovererwe pamuchinjikwa. Zvino vakatora Jesu vakamutinha.

¹⁶Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.

¹⁷Zvino wakatakura muchinjikwa wake akabuda akaenda kunzvimbo yainzi yeDehenya, ichinzi nechiHebheru Gorogota;

¹⁷They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:

¹⁸pevakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa nevamwe vaviri naye, parutivi neparutivi, naJesu pakati.

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁹Pirato ndokunyorawo chiziviso akaisa pamuchinjikwa; chakange chakanyorwa kuti: JESU MUNAZARETA MAMBO WEVAJUDHA.

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁰Naizvozvo vazhinji vevaJudha vakaverenga chiziviso ichi; nekuti nzvimbo pakange pakarovererwa Jesu pamuchinjikwa yaiva pedo neguta; uye pakange pakanyorwa nechiHebheru, nechiRoma, nechiGiriki.

²⁰This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, [and] in Latin, [and] in Greek.

²¹Naizvozvo vapristi vakuru vevaJudha vakati kuna Pirato: Musanyora muchiti: Mambo wevaJudha; asi kuti uyu wakati: Ndiri mambo wevaJudha.

²¹The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

²²Pirato akapindura akati: Zvandanyora, ndanyora.

²²Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²³Naizvozvo mauto akati aroverera Jesu pamuchinjikwa, akatora nguvo dzake, akaita migove mina, kumuuto umwe neumwe mugove; nenguvo yepasi; asi shati iyi yakange isina musono, yakange yakarukwa yose kubva kumusoro.

²³The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²⁴Naizvozvo vakataurirana vachiti: Ngatirege kuibvarura, asi tiikandire mijenya, kuti ichava yaani; kuti rugwaro ruzadziswe rwunoti: Vakagovana nguvo dzangu pakati pavo, vakakandawo mujenya pamusoro pechokufuka changu. Naizvozvo mauto akaita zvinhu izvi.

²⁴They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

²⁵Zvino pamuchinjikwa waJesu pakange pamire mai vake, nemunin'ina wamai vake, Maria mukadzi waKiropasi, naMaria Magidharini.

²⁵These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶Naizvozvo Jesu wakati achiona mai vake, nemudzidzi waaida amirepo, akati kuna mai vake: Mukadzi, tarira mwanakomana wako.

²⁶When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

²⁷Shure kweizvozvo wakati kumudzidzi: Tarira mai vako. Zvino kubva paawa iro mudzidzi wakavatora akavaisa kumba kwake.

²⁷Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own [home].

²⁸Shure kwaizvozvi, Jesu achiziva kuti zvinhu zvose zvatopedzwa, kuti rugwaro rwuzadziswe, akati: Ndine nyota.

²⁸After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.

²⁹Zvino pakange pakagadzikwa hari izere nevhiniga; zvino vakazadza chipanje nevhiniga vakaisa parutanda rwehisopi*, vakaisa kumuromo wake.

²⁹There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.

³⁰Naizvozvo Jesu agamuchira vhiniga, wakati: Zvapedzwa! Akakotamisa musoro, akapa Mweya wake.

³⁰When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

³¹Naizvozvo vaJudha nekuti rakange riri gadziriro, kuti mitumbi isagara pamuchinjikwa nesabata (nekuti zuva resabata iro raiva guru), vakakumbira Pirato kuti makumbo avo avhuniwe, uye vabviswe.

³¹The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.

³²Naizvozvo mauto akauya, akavhuna makumbo ewokutanga, neeumwe wakange arovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe naye;

³²The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:

³³asi vasvika kuna Jesu, pavakaona kuti watofa, havana kuvhuna makumbo ake;

³³but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

³⁴asi umwe wemauto wakabaya rutivi rwake nepfumo, pakarepo kukabuda ropa nemvura.

³⁴howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.

³⁵Uye iye wakaona wakapupura, uye kupupura kwake ichokwadi; uye iye unoziva kuti unoreva chokwadzi, kuti imwi mutende.

³⁵And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.

³⁶Nekuti zvinhu izvi zvakaitwa kuti rugwaro rwuzadziswe runoti: Fupa rake haringavhunwi.

³⁶For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

³⁷Uyezve rumwe rugwaro rwunoti: Vachamutarira wavakabvovora.

³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁸Shure kweizvozvi Josefa weArimatia, ari mudzidzi waJesu, asi pachivande nekutya vaJudha, wakakumbira kuna Pirato kuti abvise mutumbi waJesu; Zvino Pirato akamutendera. Naizvozvo akauya akabvisa mutumbi waJesu.

³⁸And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.

³⁹Kwakauyawo Nikodhimo, wakauya pakutanga kuna Jesu usiku, akatakura musanganiswa wemura* nearosi* mapaundi anenge zana.

³⁹And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

⁴⁰Ipapo vakatora mutumbi waJesu, vakamuputira nemicheka yerineni nezvinonhuhwira, seyaiva tsika yevaJudha yekuviga.

⁴⁰So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

⁴¹Zvino panzvimbo iyo paakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pakange pane bindu, uye mubindu mune guva idzva, makange musina kumboradzikwa munhu.

⁴¹Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid.

⁴²Naizvozvo vakaradzika Jesu ipapo nekuda kwegadziriro yevaJudha, nekuti guva rakange riri pedo.

⁴²There then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.
