Dem Nail Jesus For Cross
26As dem dey take Jesus komot, dem kon katch one man wey dey kom from Sirene and en name na Simon.

“dem go tell di mountins, ‘Make yu fall on-top us!’
And tell di hills, ‘Make yu kover us!’
31But if dem do dis kind tin for wood wen e still fresh, wetin go happen wen di wood don dry?”
32Dem still take two oda men wey bi tif, wey dem wont kill, follow Jesus. 33Wen dem rish di place wey dem dey koll, “Di Skull,” dem kon nail Jesus for cross with di two tif, one for en left and di oda for en rite side. 34(Den Jesus kon sey, “Papa, make yu forgive dem, bikos dem nor know wetin dem dey do.”) So, di sojas kon gambol to know who go take Jesus klot.

36Di sojas still dey laf Jesus and dem kon gi-am wine wey don sawa make e drink, 37den sey, “If yu bi di Jew pipol king, make yu save yorsef!”
38Dem kon rite on-top en cross sey, “Dis na, ‘Jew Pipol King.’ ”
39One of di tif dey shaut for Jesus, “Nor bi yu bi di Mezaya? Make yu save yorsef and us naw!”
40But di oda tif kon shaut for di first tif, “Yu nor dey fear God as e bi sey na di same ponishment wi dey sofa? 41Na dis ponishment fit us, bikos na wetin wi do naim make dem dey ponish us so. But dis man nor do any bad tin.”
42Den e tell Jesus, “Wen yu rish yor kingdom, make yu remember mi!”
43Jesus ansa am, “I tell yu di trut, today yu go dey with mi for paradise.”
44By naw, twelf oklok don nearly rish for aftanoon and darkness kover di whole kountry until three oklok for dat aftanoon, 45bikos sun stop to shine. Di Temple curtain kon tear into two. 46So, Jesus shaut, “Papa, I put my spirit for yor hand!” Afta e tok finish, e kon die.
