3 Pilato nakamuuza, “Hegwe kwa mndewa wa wayahudi?” Yesu kedichila nakamlonjela, “Hegwe kulonga.”
4 Pilato nakawalonjela watambika wakulu na wala wanhu wamemile, “Sichiwene chinhu cha kumtagusa munhu yuno.”
5 Ila Hewo wang'ang'anila walonga, “Nakanguwasonjeleza wanhu vibi wetowe na undewa wa Loma kwa ulanguso wa udesi muli isi yeng'ha ya Yudeya, kaluchila Galilaya na sambi ka hano.”
6 Pilato loyahuliche ago, nakawauza, “Munhu ayu mwenyeng'haye wa Galilaya?”
7 Loyavizelele Yesu nayali hasi ha ulongozi wa mndewa Helodi, kamgala kwa Helodi, mhela awo nayali Yelusalemu.
8 Helodi loyamuwene Yesu kazangusechelela ng'hatu. Kwa vila nakagana kumona kulawa mazuwa menji. Nakahulika mbuli za heye, na kagana yamone yodita vinduzanduza.
9 Lelo kamuuza Yesu mbuli nyinji kwa mhela uhejile, ila Yesu hedichile ne chinhu.
10 Watambika wakulu na walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa, wema wamlonjeleza Yesu kwa lupichi.
11 Helodi hamwe na wala walingulolela wazangumbasa soni Yesu na kumbeza, wolawa wamvalisa nguwo ya chiundewa, wamhilula kwa Pilato.
12 Helodi na Pilato, wala aho katali wali wehilwe, kulawa zuwa lilila wazangigana.
13 Pilato nakawachema watambika wakulu na vilongozi na wanhu.
14 Baho 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.
15 Si nene yeng'ha, na heye Helodi hachiwene ne chinhu choyawifile munhu ayu chilingumgana yakomigwe.
16 Ahyo ndangugana yazapigwe ng'hobwa hamba ndomlechela.”
17 Kwa vila kaganigwa yamlechele munhu yumwe kwa wala wawele mchinweng'ho kuli mnvina ya Pasaka.
18 Ila lung'hongola lweng'ha lwa wanhu wachemeleza hamwe, “Mkopoleni munhu ayo na utuchumulile Balaba!”
19 Balaba nayali yahindilwe kwa kwambuza wanhu kuhinduka kuli muji na kukopola.
20 Pilato nakagana kumlechela Yesu, yolawa kalongana nawo kahi,
21 ila hewo wachemeleza, “Muwambeni mumsalaba, muwambeni mumsalaba.”
22 Pilato nakawalonjela lwa kadatu, “Kadita choni chihile? Hambe ndichone chinhu chimwambuza yabagame, ndolajiza yasubuligwe ng'hobwa, hamba ndomlechela.”
23 Ila hewo waza nguchemeleza lukami ng'hatu twangugana Yesu yawambigwe mumsalaba, hamba lizi lyawo lihulikwa hamba wakundizwa chowaganile.
24 Pilato nakalonga iditigwe kota vyowalingugana.
25 Kachumula kamlavya yula walingumgana, yula yawohigwe kwa kwambuza kuhinduka na kukopola wanhu, yolawa kamlavya Yesu wamditile vowogana.
26 Lowali womgala wating'hana na munhu yumwe nayali nguchemigwa Simoni mwenyeng'haye wa Kilene, nayali yolawa kumgunda. Wamibata wamdwika ula msalaba yauhole kumbele kwa Yesu.
