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 having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,

³Vakati: Hekanhi, Mambo wevaJudha! Ndokumurova nembama.

³and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.

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

⁴And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.

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

⁵(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to 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, crucify [him]. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify [him], for I find no fault 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 according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.

⁸Naizvozvo Pirato paakanzwa shoko iro, wakanyanya kutya.

⁸When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,

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

⁹and went into the praetorium again and says to 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 says to him, Speakest thou not to *me*? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?

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

¹¹Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.

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

¹²From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.

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

¹³Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;

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

¹⁴(now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to 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.

¹⁵But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to 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 up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.

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

¹⁷And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [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, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.

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

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, 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 many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.

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, Do not write, 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 clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.

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 to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.

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

²⁵And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

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

²⁶Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.

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

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

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

²⁸After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.

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

²⁹There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.

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

³⁰When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered 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, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.

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

³²The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;

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

³³but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,

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

³⁴but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately 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 who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.

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

³⁶For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.

³⁷Uyezve rumwe rugwaro rwunoti: Vachamutarira wavakabvovora.

³⁷And again another scripture says, 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, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

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

³⁹And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].

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

⁴⁰They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.

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

⁴¹But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

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

⁴²There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
