Luka 23:13-22

¹³Ivyo Pilato niyo etanga chitala cha wakulu wa walavyantambiko, vilongozi, na wantu wawo,

¹⁴awagamba, mnigaila mntu yuno mwagamba nakawadanta wantu. Haluse tegelezani, nize nimuze imbuli iyo mwa meso yenyu simuwone na lema dyodyose mwa ayo mkumlaha.

¹⁵Naho Helode hamwone lema dyodyose, nivyo vilekile kamvuza kwetu. Mntu yuno hadamanye dyodyose dikuleka ankantilwe kukomwa.

¹⁶“Ivyo nanilagize atoigwe nkome niyo namlekela.”

¹⁷Chila zuwa dya Pasaka Pilato na kaungwa alekele mfungwa yumwenga.

¹⁸Mna wose hamwenga watula lwasu, “Muse yuno mntu! Chifungwile Balaba!”

¹⁹Balaba nakajelwa mndani kwa wavu wa nkumbizi mwe kaya, naho nakakoma wantu.

²⁰Pilato nakaunga amlekele Yesu, ivyo niyo alonga nawo vituhu.

²¹Mna wowo niyo watula lwasu vituhu, “Mtungike! Mtungike!”

²²Pilato awagamba nkanana ya katatu, “Kabalangani? Sikuwona ubanasi wowose mwakwe vikuleka akomwe! Nanilagize atoigwe nkome vikaheza nimlekele.”
