1 Indji ba wawu mba, ba lunji Yesu ye ni koshi Bilatus.
And the whole multitude of them arose and ledde him vnto Pylate.
2 Na lu ni nhanwu andi, ba ka toh asi kpa indji si ti meme na ni tonba ni timeme, ndu ba na kpanyime na nhan iban hi no Kaisar na, na ni yo tuma Almasihu, Ichu.”
And they beganne to accuse him sayinge: We have founde this felowe pervertynge the people and forbiddynge to paye tribute to Cesar: sayinge that he is Christ a kynge.
3 Bilatus Myen, Ahi wuyi Ichu Yahudawa? U Yesu kpanyime niwu, “Anaki wu tre.”
And Pylate apposed him sayinge: arte thou the kynge of the iewes? He answered him and sayde: thou sayest it.
4 U Bilatus hla ni Firistocin bi ninkon ba ni jubu indji ba, “Mi na vu ni lah tre riri me na.”
Then sayde Pylate to the hye prestes and to the people: I fynde noo faute in this man.
5 U ba luni tre, andi, “A kpa suron indji ni tie meme na ni hla tre ma ni Yahudiya, a so ma rji ni Galili ye ni wayi.”

And when Herode sawe Iesus he was excedinglie gladde. For he was desyrous to se him of a longe season because he had hearde many thinges of him and trusted to have sene some myracle done by him.
9 Hiridus a miyen Yesu ni mi tre bi gbugbu, u Yesu na sa kpe riri ni wu na.

and sayde vnto them: Ye have brought this man vnto me as one that perverted the people. And beholde I have examined him before you and have founde no faute in this man of those thinges where of ye accuse him.
15 Ba kpe, Hiridus me, ala ka tru kma ye ni tawu, bi toh, igu yi na tie ikpe wa ba wu'a na
