4 Ko ia naʻe toe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Pailato, ʻo ne tala kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻomi ia kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo haʻane kovi.”
5 Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, kuo ʻai ʻae tatā ʻakau talatala, mo e pulupulu kulokula. Pea tala ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Vakai ki he tangata!”
6 Ko ia ʻi he mamata ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau matāpule kiate ia, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tutuki ki he ʻakau, tutuki ki he ʻakau.” Pea talaange ʻe Pailato, kiate kinautolu, Mou ʻave ia, ʻo tutuki ki he ʻakau: he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo haʻane kovi.
7 Pea talaange ʻe he kakai Siu kiate ia, “ʻOku ai ʻemau fono, pea ʻi heʻemau fono ʻoku totonu ʻene mate, koeʻuhi naʻa ne ui ia ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
8 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pailato ki he lea ko ia, pea ʻāsili ai ʻene manavahē;
9 Pea toe ʻalu ia ki he fale fakamaau, ʻo ne fehuʻi kia Sisu, “ʻOku ke haʻu mei fē?” Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia.
10 Pea pehē ai ʻe Pailato kiate ia, “ʻIkai te ke lea kiate au? ʻIkai te ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae mafai ke tutuki koe ki he ʻakau, pea ʻiate au mo e mafai ke tukuange koe?”
11 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “ʻE ʻikai te ke mafai ha meʻa kiate au, ʻo ka ne ʻikai foaki ia kiate koe mei ʻolunga: ko ia foki kuo tukuange au kiate koe, ʻoku lahi hake ʻene angahala.”
12 Pea talu mei ai mo e fie tukuange ia ʻe Pailato: ka naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tukuange ʻae tangata ni, ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kāinga koe ʻo Sisa: ko ia ʻoku ne pehē, ko e tuʻi ia, ʻoku lea kovi ia kia Sisa.”
13 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Pailato ki he lea ko ia, naʻa ne ʻomi ʻa Sisu kituʻa, ʻo nofo hifo ʻi he nofoʻa fakamaau, ʻi he potu ʻoku ui “ko e Falikimaka,”’ ka ʻi he lea fakaHepelū, ko “Kapata.”
14 Pea ko e teuteu ki he kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu, pea ko hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā: pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai Siu, “Vakai ko homou Tuʻi!”
15 Ka naʻa nau kalanga, “ʻAve ia, ʻave ia, tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.” Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Te u tutuki homou Tuʻi ki he ʻakau? Pea talaange ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻOku ʻikai hamau tuʻi ka ko Sisa pē.”
16 Ko ia naʻa ne toki tukuange ai ia kiate kinautolu ke tutuki ki he ʻakau. Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa Sisu ʻo taki atu.
17 Pea fua ʻe ia hono ʻakau, ʻo ʻalu atu ki he potu ʻoku ui “ko e potu ʻoe ʻulupoko,” ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko “Kolokota:”
18 ʻO nau tutuki ai ia ki he ʻakau, mo e toko ua kehe mo ia, ʻi hono potu fakatouʻosi pe, kae ʻi hona vahaʻa ʻa Sisu.
19 Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Pailato ha tohi fakaʻilonga, ʻo ʻai ia ki ke ʻakau. Pea ko e tohi naʻe pehē, KO SISU ʻO NĀSALETI, KO E TUʻI ʻOE KAKAI SIU.
20 Pea naʻe lau ʻae tohi ni ʻe he tokolahi ʻoe kakai Siu: he ko e potu kuo tutuki ai ʻa Sisu naʻe ofi ki he kolo; pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi he lea fakaHepelū, mo e lea fakaKiliki, mo e lea fakaLoma.
21 Pea lea ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi ʻoe kakai Siu kia Pailato, “ʻOua ʻe tohi, ‘Ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu:’ kae tohi ‘Naʻe lau ʻe ia, Ko e Tuʻi au ʻoe kakai Siu.’”
