The TNIV is not only awkward because it is not a common translation, but it does seem it would be better to go all the way and have it "impaled on a wooden pole." The NEB/REB is humorous.

It seems like you'd need to go all the way and either say "hung on a tree/cross" or "impaled on a pole". Then again, if "pole" is awkward, you could always go for the NEB/REB's rendition of this as <a href="http://heissufficient.com/2008/08/20/regarding-the-cross-trees-and-gibbets/" rel="nofollow">'gibbet'</a>.
