¹³Pilato nakawachema watambika wakulu na vilongozi na wanhu.

¹⁴Baho nakawalonjela, “Mmigala munhu ayu kwa heni, mlonga kota nayali yowahada wanhu. Lelo mhulichize! Na heni ndizipugajiza mbuli za heye, ila sonile ne chinhu choyawifile kuli mbuli azo zomumlonjeleze.

¹⁵Si nene yeng'ha, na heye Helodi hachiwene ne chinhu choyawifile munhu ayu chilingumgana yakomigwe.

¹⁶Ahyo ndangugana yazapigwe ng'hobwa hamba ndomlechela.”

¹⁷Kwa vila kaganigwa yamlechele munhu yumwe kwa wala wawele mchinweng'ho kuli mnvina ya Pasaka.

¹⁸Ila lung'hongola lweng'ha lwa wanhu wachemeleza hamwe, “Mkopoleni munhu ayo na utuchumulile Balaba!”

¹⁹Balaba nayali yahindilwe kwa kwambuza wanhu kuhinduka kuli muji na kukopola.

²⁰Pilato nakagana kumlechela Yesu, yolawa kalongana nawo kahi,

²¹ila hewo wachemeleza, “Muwambeni mumsalaba, muwambeni mumsalaba.”

²²Pilato nakawalonjela lwa kadatu, “Kadita choni chihile? Hambe ndichone chinhu chimwambuza yabagame, ndolajiza yasubuligwe ng'hobwa, hamba ndomlechela.”
