13 Ivyo Pilato niyo etanga chitala cha wakulu wa walavyantambiko, vilongozi, na wantu wawo,
14 awagamba, mnigaila mntu yuno mwagamba nakawadanta wantu. Haluse tegelezani, nize nimuze imbuli iyo mwa meso yenyu simuwone na lema dyodyose mwa ayo mkumlaha.
15 Naho Helode hamwone lema dyodyose, nivyo vilekile kamvuza kwetu. Mntu yuno hadamanye dyodyose dikuleka ankantilwe kukomwa.
16 “Ivyo nanilagize atoigwe nkome niyo namlekela.”
17 Chila zuwa dya Pasaka Pilato na kaungwa alekele mfungwa yumwenga.
18 Mna wose hamwenga watula lwasu, “Muse yuno mntu! Chifungwile Balaba!”
19 Balaba nakajelwa mndani kwa wavu wa nkumbizi mwe kaya, naho nakakoma wantu.
20 Pilato nakaunga amlekele Yesu, ivyo niyo alonga nawo vituhu.
21 Mna wowo niyo watula lwasu vituhu, “Mtungike! Mtungike!”
22 Pilato awagamba nkanana ya katatu, “Kabalangani? Sikuwona ubanasi wowose mwakwe vikuleka akomwe! Nanilagize atoigwe nkome vikaheza nimlekele.”
