22 Pilato wakabakonka ne: “Nunku, ngenze tshinyi ne Yezu udibu babikila ne: Kristo?” Bakamba bonso ne: “Yeye anu ku mutshi!”*+ 23 Wakamba ne: “Bua tshinyi? Mbualu bubi kayi budiye muenze?” Nansha nanku bakatungunuka ne kuela mbila bikole ne: “Yeye anu ku mutshi!”+

24 Bu muvua Pilato mumone ne: kakuvua bualu bua nsongo, kadi tshimvundu tshivua tshienda tshikola, wakangata mâyi, kuowaye bianza kumpala kua musumba wa bantu, wamba ne: “Meme tshiena ne bualu bua mashi a muntu eu to. Mbunutangile anu nuenu.” 25 Bua bualu abu, bantu bonso bakandamuna ne: “Mashi ende ikale pambidi petu ne pa bana betu.”+ 26 Pashishe, wakabalekeleela Balabase, kadi wakelesha Yezu mfimbu,+ kumufilaye bua bamushipele ku mutshi.+

12 Pilato wakabandamuna kabidi ne: “Nunku, ngenze tshinyi ne muntu unudi nubikila ne: Mukalenge wa bena Yuda?”+ 13 Bakela kabidi mbila ne: “Yeye anu ku mutshi!”*+ 14 Kadi Pilato wakatungunuka ne kubebeja ne: “Bua tshinyi? Mbualu bubi kayi budiye muenze?” Nansha nanku bakela mbila bikole ne: “Yeye anu ku mutshi!”*+ 15 Nunku, bu muvua Pilato musue kusankisha musumba wa bantu, wakabalekeleela Balabase; yeye mumane kuelesha Yezu mfimbu,+ wakamufila bua bamushipele ku mutshi.+
