3 Pilato akan'kota, akajobha, “Je bhebhe ndo Mfalme ghwa bhayahudi?” Ni Yesu akan'jibu akajobha, “Bhebhe nijobha naha”.
4 Pilato akan'jobhela kuhani mbaha ni makutano, “Nikalibhona lepi likosa kwa munu ojho”.
5 Lakini bhene bhasisitizi, bhakajobha, “Abhachocheleghe bhanu, ifundisya mu uyahudi bhuoha, kubhwanzila Galilaya ni henu ajhele apa.”
6 Pilato bho ap'eliki agha, akakotelesya kama munu ojho ghwa Galilaya?
7 Bho amanyili kujha ajhele chini jha utawala bhwa Herode, ampeliki Yesu kwa Herode, ambajhe ni muene ajhele Yerusalemu kwa magono aghu.
8 Herode bho ambwene Yesu, ahobhwiki kweli kwa ndabha alondeghe kumbona kwa magono ghamehele. Ap'eliki habari sya muene na anogheleghe ligono limonga kulola miujiza jhibhombeka ni muene.
9 Herode an'kotili Yesu kwa malobhi ghamehele lakini Yesu an'jibili lepi kyokyoha.
10 Makuhani bhabhaha pamonga ni bhaandishi bhajhemili kwa ukali bhikan'takila.
11 Herode pamonga ni maaskari bha muene, bhandighili ni kumdhihaki, kwa kumfwatika maguanda manofu, kisha akan'kerebhusya Yesu kwa Pilato.
12 Herode ni Pilato bhakajha marafiki kujhandi ligono e'lu, (kabla jha apu bhajhele maadui).
13 Pilato akabhakuta pamonga makuhani bhabhaha ni bhatawala ni umati bhwa bhanu,
14 Akabhajobhela, “Mundetili munu ojho kama munu jha akabhalongosya bhanu kubhombi manofulepi, na langayi, baada jha kujha nin'hojili mbele jha muenga, nikabhwene lepi likosa kwa munu ojho kuhusu mambo ghoha muenga gha mukan'takila.
15 Lepi, wala Herode, kwa ndabha Herode an'kerebhuisi kwa tete, na langayi kijhelepi kyokyoha kyaakibhombili kyakilondeka adhabu jha kufwa.
16 Kwa hiyo nibeta kun'tobha ni kundekesela.
17 (Henu, Pilato iwajibika kundekesela mfungwa mmonga kwa bhayahudi wakati bhwa sikukuu).
18 Lakini bhoha bhapigili kelele pamonga, bhakajobha, “Umbosyajhi ojhu, ni tubhopolelejhi Baraba!”
19 Baraba ajhele munu jha abhekibhu mu ligereza kwa ndabha jha uasi fulani mu jiji ni kukoma.
20 Pilato akabhajobhela kabhele, inoghela kundekesela Yesu.
21 Lakini bhene bhapigili kelele, bhakajobha, “N'sulubisiajhi, N'sulubisiajhi.”
22 Akabhakota kwa mara jha tatu, “kwandajha kiki, munu ojho akhetili maovu ghaloki? nikabhilepi likosa lya lilondeka adhabu jha kifo kwa muene. Henu panibeta kumala kun'tobha nikandekesela.”
23 Lakini bhakasisitiza kwa sauti jha panani, bhakajha bhilonda asulubisibhwajhi. Ni sauti sya bhene syan'shawishi Pilato.
24 Hivyo Pilato akaamula kubhapela matakwa gha bhene.
25 Akandekesela jhola jha bhandondeghe ambajhe afungibhu kwa kusababisya ghasia ni kukoma. Lakini akambosya Yesu kwa matakwa gha bhene.
26 Bho bhakampeleka, bhan'kamuili munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Simoni wa Ukirene, akajha ihomela mu nchi, bhakan'tweka n'salaba ili ap'endayi, kun'kesya Yesu.
