1Zvino pakarepo mangwanani-ngwanani vapristi vakuru vakaita zano nevakuru nevanyori nedare remakurukota rose, vakasunga Jesu, vakamutakura, vakamukumikidza kuna Pirato.
1And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate.
2Pirato ndokumubvunza achiti: Iwe uri Mambo wevaJudha here? Akapindura, akati kwaari: Unoreva iwe.
2And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.
3Vapristi vakuru vakamupomera zvinhu zvizhinji, asi iye haana kupindura chinhu.
3And the chief priests accused him urgently.
4Pirato akamubvunzazve achiti: Haupinduri chinhu here? Tarira, zvinhu zvingani zvavanokupupurira!
4And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.
5Asi Jesu haana kuzopindurazve chinhu, zvekuti Pirato wakashamisika.
5But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.
6Zvino pamabiko waivasunungurira musungwa umwe, chero upi wavanenge vakumbira.
6But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].
7Zvino kwakange kune wainzi Bharabhasi, akasungwa pamwe nevakange vamutsa mhirizhonga naye, vakange vaita umhondi pamhirizhonga iyoyo.
7Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection.
8Zvino chaunga chakadanidzira, vakatanga kukumbira kuti aite sezvaaigarovaitira.
8And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done.
9Asi Pirato akavapindura, achiti: Munoda kuti ndikusunungurirei Mambo wevaJudha here?
9But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
10Nekuti wakange achiziva kuti vapristi vakuru vakange vamutengesa negodo.
10for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.
11Asi vapristi vakuru vakamutsa chaunga, kuti zviri nani avasunungurire Bharabhasi.
11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
12Pirato akapindura akatizve kwavari: Naizvozvo munoda kuti ndimuitirei, wamunoti ndiMambo wevaJudha?
12And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews?
13Vakadanidzirazve vachiti: Murovere pamuchinjikwa!
13And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14Asi Pirato akati kwavari: Nemhaka yei? Wakaita chakaipa chei? Vakanyanyisa kudanidzira vachiti: Murovere pamuchinjikwa!
14And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.
15Zvino Pirato, achida kuti agutse chaunga, akavasunungurira Bharabhasi; ndokukumikidza Jesu, amurova netyava, kuti arovererwe pamuchinjikwa.
15And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
16Zvino mauto akamuisa mukati meruvanze, rwunova imba yemutungamiriri, akadanira hondo yose pamwe;
16And the soldiers led him away into the court which is [called the] praetorium, and they call together the whole band.
17vakamupfekedza zvine ruvara rwehute, vakaruka korona yemhinzwa, vakaisa paari.
17And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.
18Vakatanga kumukwazisa, vachiti: Hekanhi, Mambo wevaJudha!
18And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19Vakamurova musoro norutsanga, vakamupfira, vakafugama mabvi, vakamunamata.
19And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.
20Zvino vakati vamusweveredza, vakamubvisa zveruvara rwehute, ndokumupfekedza nguvo dzake pachake, vakabuda naye kundomuroverera pamuchinjikwa.
20And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.
21Vakamanikidza umwe waipfuura wainzi Simoni muKurini, achibva kuruwa, baba vaArekizandiro naRufo, kuti atakure muchinjikwa wake.
21And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.
22Vakamuisa kunzvimbo yainzi Gorogota, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa: Nzvimbo yedehenya.
22And they bring him to the place [called] Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.
23Vakamupa waini yakavhenganiswa nemura kuti amwe, asi haana kugamuchira.
23And they offered him wine [to drink] medicated with myrrh; but he did not take [it].
24Zvino vakati vamuroverera pamuchinjikwa, vakagovana nguvo dzake, vachikanda mujenya pamusoro padzo, kuti umwe neumwe uchatorei.
24And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots on them, what each one should take.
25Rakange rava awa rechitatu, vakabva vamuroverera pamuchinjikwa.
25And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26Nerugwaro rwemhosva yake rwakange rwakanyorwa pamusoro, ruchiti: MAMBO WEVAJUDHA.
26And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.
27Pamwe naye vakaroverera pamuchinjikwa makororo maviri, umwe kuruoko rwerudyi, neumwe kuruboshwe rwake.
27And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
28Rugwaro rukazadzisika, rwunoti: Wakaverengwa pamwe nevasina murairo.
28[And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.]
29Nevaipfuura vakamunyomba, vachidzungudza misoro yavo, vachiti: Ehe-e, iwe unoputsa tembere, nekuivaka nemazuva matatu,
29And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,
30zviponese, uburuke pamuchinjikwa!
30save thyself, and descend from the cross.
31Saizvozvo vapristiwo vakuru vakamusweveredza pamwe nevanyori pakati pavo, vachiti: Wakaponesa vamwe, iye haagoni kuzviponesa.
31In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32Kristu Mambo waIsraeri ngaaburuke ikozvino pamuchinjikwa, kuti tione titende. Nevakange varovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe naye vakamunyomba.
32Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.
33Zvino awa rechitanhatu rakati rasvika, rima rikavapo panyika yose kusvikira paawa repfumbamwe.
33And when [the] sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;
34Zvino neawa repfumbamwe, Jesu akadana nenzwi guru, achiti: "Eroi, Eroi, rama Sabhakitani!" Ndokuti, kana zvichishandurwa: Mwari wangu, Mwari wangu, mandisiirei?
34and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, [saying], Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35Vamwe vevakange vamirepo vakati vachizvinzwa, vakati: Tarirai, unodana Eria.
35And some of those who stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, he calls for Elias.
36Ipapo umwe wakamhanya, akazadza chipanje nevhiniga, akaisa parutsanga, akamupa kuti amwe, achiti: Regai, tione kana Eria achiuya kumuburusa.
36And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.
37Ipapo Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru akapa mweya.
37And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired.
38Vheiri retembere rikabvaruka kuita mapandi maviri, kubva kumusoro kusvikira pasi.
38And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.
39Zvino mukuru wezana wakange amirepo pakatarisana naye, wakati achiona kuti wadanidzira akapa mweya, akati: Zvirokwazvo, munhu uyu wanga ari Mwanakomana waMwari.
39And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.
40Uye kwakange kune vakadziwo vakatarira vari kure, pakati pavo pakange pana Maria Magidhariniwo, naMaria mai vaJakobho muduku naJose, naSarome,
40And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41(avowo vaimutevera achiri muGarirea, vachimushandira), nevamwe vakadzi vazhinji vakange vakwira kuJerusarema naye.
41who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42Zvino atova manheru, zvarakange riri gadziriro, ndokuti zuva rinotangira sabata,
42And when it was already evening, since it was [the] preparation, that is, [the day] before a sabbath,
43Josefa waiva weArimatia, nhengo yedare yairemekedzwa, wakange akamirirawo pachake ushe hwaMwari wakauya, akapinda kuna Pirato akatsunga, akakumbira chitunha chaJesu.
43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.
44Pirato akashamisika nekuti wakange atofa; akadanira kwaari mukuru wezana, akamubvunza kana akange ava nenguva afa.
44And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to [him] the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.
45Zvino wakati azvinzwa nemukuru wezana, akapa Josefa chitunha.
45And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46Akatenga mucheka werineni, akamuburusa, akamuputira nemucheka wakapfava, ndokumuradzika muguva rakange rakacherwa muruware, ndokukungurusira ibwe pamukova weguva.
46And having bought fine linen, [and] having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47Zvino Maria Magidharini, naMaria mai vaJose, vakaona paakaradzikwa.
47And Mary of Magdala and Mary the [mother] of Joses saw where he was put.
