3uPilato akamposia akati, “vuli uve veve Ntwa ghwa vayahidi? uYesu akamwamula akati, “veve ghujova ndikio?”So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4UPilato akam'bula um'baha ghwa vatekesi nilipugha, “nanikughwagha unkole ghwa muunhu uju”.Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5avele ihovelesia avaanhu avulanisie muvuyahudi mwoni, atengulile ku Galilaya lino pwale kuno”.But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

11uHelode palikimo na vasikali vake, vakamuligha na kumbenafula, vakamfasia amenda amanono, pepano akan'gomosia uYesu kwa Pilato.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12uHelode nu Pilato vakavisagha vamanyani kutengulila ikighono ikio ulwakwasia valyale valugu.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
