atopos lit. ‘out of place,’ here in a moral sense, ‘improper,’ ‘wrong,’ ‘wicked.’

Translation:

We refers to the speaker and the one addressed, but should not include Jesus. Ekari makes this clear by saying ‘we two’; elsewhere one may have to use, ‘you and I.’

We are receiving the due reward of our deeds (or, ‘our works’ salary,’ in Zarma, or, ‘a judgment matching our works,’ in Fulah) may have to be variously recast, cf. e.g. ‘we are getting (or, they give us) what we deserve for what we did’ (cf. Good News Translation), ‘what (or, the punishment) we suffer is in-accordance-with what we did,’ ‘we are being caused to pay for as many sins as we sinned’ (Tzeltal), “we deserved what we have got” (The Four Gospels – a New Translation).

This man has done nothing wrong. In Huli one would use here a suffix denoting that the statement is made on the grounds of visible evidence, such as what the man had seen during the trial, or, of Jesus’ behaviour earlier.
