3Pilat mah anih to lokdueng, Nang loe Judahnawk ih Siangpahrang maw? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Na thuih ih baktiah ka oh, tiah a naa.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Pilat mah kalen koek qaima hoi rangpuinawk khaeah, Hae kami zaehaih ka hnu ai, tiah a naa.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

6Pilat mah Kalili, tih ih lok to thaih naah, anih loe Kalili kami maw, tiah a dueng.When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Akra ai ah Jesu loe Herod ukhaih thungah kaom kami ni, tito Pilat mah panoek naah, Anih to Herod khaeah patoeh, Herod loe to nathuem ah Jerusalem ah oh.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

9Anih mah pop parai ah lok to dueng; toe Jesu mah anih han tidoeh pathim pae ai.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Qaima hoi ca tarik kaminawk to ahmuen ah angdoet o moe, anih to zaehaih net o.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

15Herod mah doeh a sakpazaehaih hnu ai: anih khaeah doeh kang patoeh o boeh, khenah, anih mah duek han kakrah sak ih zaehaih tidoeh om ai.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
