1Juda bɨawl kɨli anɨb agɨl, mɨdupsek tɨkjakɨl Jisas nop dɨl dad amnɨlak, gapman bɨawl Paylat yek ak.Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

Agup, Yad ke Juda bɨnonɨm ak mɨdɨl, God yɨp aglup agup agɨlak.And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

3Agelak, Paylat Jisas nop agnɨgak, Nak Juda bɨnonɨm kɨli ak akaŋ agak? Agek agak, Nɨm nak ke apan ak agak.So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Agek, Paylat bɨ God nop sɨbogep bɨawl okok sek, binɨb yelak okok sek, kɨlop agak, Yad nepin, bɨ anɨb awl nop agep takaw jɨj ak ma mɨdeb agak.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

6Agelak, Paylat nɨŋɨd kɨlop agnɨgak, Bɨ anɨb awl Galili nɨb agak?When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7Agek, Yaw agel, nɨŋɨd anɨb agak, Gapman bɨnonɨm Helod ne Galili plopens kod mɨdeb ak, ap Jelusalem awl mɨdeb tek, nop yɨl yokɨnɨm agak. Kɨlop agek, dad Helod yek ak amnɨlak.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

Ñɨn anɨb ak Jisas nop dad apjakɨlak nɨŋɨd, ne mɨñmɨñ tɨmel yɨbɨl gak.When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. 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.

9Pen Helod Jisas nop takaw kuŋay yɨbɨl agnɨgek, Jisas pen takaw olap ma agak.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10Pen bɨ God nop sɨbogep bɨawl okok sek, bɨ kɨli Mosis takaw ñu kɨl tɨkak ak nɨgtep gep okok sek, kɨli takaw awl yɨbɨl ak nɨŋɨjsek lɨl agɨlak.Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

12Ned Helod ayɨp Paylat ayɨp keke yelɨgɨpil ak pen, anɨb ñɨn ak takaw nɨŋɨd bɨ omɨŋal jɨmñelek.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

20Pen Paylat gos ne ak Jisas amnaŋ agɨl nɨŋɨd, binɨb okok kɨlop tepayaŋ agak, Jisas nop yokɨp agyoken amnaŋ agak.Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21Agek, kɨli suk awl agɨl agɨlak, Mab bak alaŋ chɨpɨl pak tɨbɨk lem kumaŋ. Mab bak alaŋ chɨpɨl pak tɨbɨk lem kumaŋ agɨlak.but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

Nop nɨŋɨd dɨl, mab Jisas dad apek ak nop wajɨlem lɨñɨl agɨlak, Jisas ameb kɨdek amnoŋ agel, dad kɨdek amnak.As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

27Pen binɨb kuŋay yɨbɨl kɨdek gelak nab anɨb ak, bin ogɨnap Jisas nop mapen nɨŋɨd chaŋ awl ak lɨlɨg kɨdek gɨlak.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
