Yohana 19:5-12

⁵Henu Yesu akapita kwibhala akajha afwalili litaji lya mifwa ni liguanda lya zambarau. Ndipo Pilato akabhajobhela, “Mulangayi munu ojho apa!”

⁶Kwa hiyo wakati kuhani mbaha na bhabhaha bho bhambwene Yesu, wakapiga makele bhakajobha, “N'sulubisiajhi, n'sulubisiajhi.” Pilato akabhajobhela, “Mun'tolayi mwebhene mkan'sulubisiajhi, kwa ndabha nene nibhonalepi hatia kwa muene.”

⁷Bhayahudi bhakan'jibu Pilato, “Tete tujhe ni sheria, ni kwa sheria ejhe jhilondeka afuayi kwandabha muene akibhekeghe mwana ghwa K'yara.”

⁸Pilato bho ap'eliki malobhi agha azidi kutila,

⁹akajhingila Praitorio kabhele ni kun'jobhela Yesu, “Bhebhe wihomela ndaku? Hata naha, Yesu an'jibi lepi.

¹⁰Kisha Pilato akan'jobhela, “Je, bhebhe wilongela lepi ni nene? Je, bhebhe umanyilepi kujha nene nijhe ni mamlaka gha kusulubisya?”

¹¹Yesu akan'jibu, “Ngaujhelepi ni nghofu dhidi jha nene kama ngaupelibhu lepi kuhomela kunani. Henu, munu jha anipisili kwa bhebhe ajhe ni dhambi mbaha.”

¹²Kutokana ni lijibu e'le, Pilato alondeghe kundeka huru, lakini Bhayahudi bhakapiga majhueghu bhakajobha, “Kama wibetakundeka huru basi bhebhe sio rafiki ghwa Kaisari: Kila jhaikibheka mfalme ilota kinyume ni Kaisari.”
