Yohane 19:5-12

⁵Apfo Yesu kalawa kunze kapfala fiya ya tsimiwa na lighwanda lye chindewa. Pilato kawalongela, “Mlole! Hayuno ano!”

⁶Iwatambika wakulu na iwabetetsi we Ing'anda ye Imulungu hawamwonile Yesu, wakemelela, “Muwambe! Muwambe!” Pilato kawalongela, “Msoleni mkamuwambe mna msalaba mwemwe muwenyegho. Sonile bae ghomba lya kumhigha.”

⁷Wayahudi wamwidika, “Twetwe tuna Laghitso, na kwa Laghitso alyo kobamighwa yafe, kwaapfila tsakalonga yeye ka Imwana we Imulungu.”

⁸Pilato haulike apfi, kapfuka ghendo.

⁹Kengila keli mng'anda kamghutsa Yesu, “Angu ulawila kwani?” Lekeni Yesu ng'edike bae.

¹⁰Pilato kamlongela, “Kwolema kulonga na nene? Ng'umanyile bae ka nina uwetso wa kukulekelela au kukuwamba mna msalaba?”

¹¹Yesu kamwidika, “Ghweghwe kuna uwetso wa kunihigha kwaapfila kwing'ighwa uwetso awo ne Imulungu. Apfo ayula iyangalile kuna ghweghwe kana nzambi ng'ulu ng'ani.”

¹²Pilato hayahulike apfi, kabama nzila ya kumlekelela Yesu. Lekeni Wayahudi wadama, “Ung'amlekelela, ghweghwe si sale wa mndewa wa Roma bae! Imunu wowose iyolonga ka imndewa komlema mndewa wa Roma!”
