Yesu nadisweki wanyi kudi Pilatu nindi himwanta. Hela chochu, Wanta windi hiwukuyitiyisha aRoma womaku. Yesu nahoshi nindi: “Wanta wami wambadi yakanu kaayi wanyi. Neyi Wanta wami wadiña wambadi yakanu kaayi, mutenowu ambuñami adi kuzuña kulonda abuli kwiteja kuntwala kudi aYudeya. Ilaña, Wanta wami wambadi yakanu kaayi wanyi.” (Yowanu 18:36) Yesu wukweti Wanta, ilaña wamukanu kaayi wanyi.

Pilatu hanakumini hohenahaku, nehuli nindi: “Komana wudi mwanta?” Yesu nakukeña Pilatu akunkululi yomweni, namwakuli nindi: “Eyi aweni wunadihosheli neyi ami nindi mwanta. Ichi dichinavwalikilili nawa dichinenjilili mukaayi nami nishimuni wunsahu wachalala. Muntu wejima wakeña chalala, watiyililaña kwizu dami.”—Yowanu 18:37.

Yesu hakusambila wamulejeli Tomasi nindi: “Ami yami njila, chalala niwumi.” Pilatu niyena ichi natiyi nindi Yesu wenjili hamaseki nakushimwina wunsahu ‘wachalala,’ chalala chaWanta windi. Yesu nakufwila chikupu kwikala washinshika kunichi chalala hela chakwila wukufwilahu. Pilatu namwihuli nindi: “Chalala hichumanyi?” Ilaña hanakukeña nindi amulumbulwilihu nsañu yikwawuku. Namoni nindi nsañu yinatiyiyi yinashikili kumusompeshelahu iwu muntu.—Yowanu 14:6; 18:38.

Pilatu nafunti kudi izaza dinakuhembelela hanji. Yesu hadaha wudi hamu nindi hanakulejayi akulumpi jawatupristu niantu adiyi nawu, nindi: “Iwu muntu hinnamuwani namuloñaku.” Anazuwi chikupu nachinafuukuliwu, dichi izaza dinakoleshimu nawu: “Wasañumunaña antu kudikaña kuhitila mukutañisha muYudeya mwejima, kutachikila kuÑaliliya kushika nikunu.”—Luka 23:4, 5.

Yilwilu yawaYudeya yinamuhayamishi Pilatu. Chineli akulumpi jawatupristu niakulumpi anatwalekihu kubidika, Pilatu namwihuli Yesu nindi: “Wunatiyi nyiloña yinakukwinkawu?” (Matewu 27:13) Yesu namwakuli wanyi. Chumichi chinamuhayamishi Pilatu.

AYudeya anashimuni nawu Yesu ‘watachikilili muÑaliliya.’ Pilatu chinatiyiyi iyi nsañu, nenzi nakwiluka nindi Yesu himwini Ñaliliya. Dichi Pilatu nawani hakuleyela kulonda abuli kumusompesha Yesu. Herodi Antipasi (mwana kaHerodi Muneni) diyi nyuuli wamuÑaliliya, nawa wudi muYerusalema kunichi Chipandakenu. Dichi Pilatu namutemeshi Yesu kudi Herodi. Herodi Antipasi diyi wamuketwili Yowanu Mpapatishi mutu. Kufumahu, chatiyiliyi nawu Yesu nakukoña yihayamisha, Herodi wadakameneni nindi hamwaha Yowanu nasañuki mudi afu.—Luka 9:7-9.

Ichi Herodi natiyi kuwaha kulonda amumoni Yesu. Bayi neyi muloña nakukeña kumukwasha Yesu hela kufwila kwiluka neyi nyiloña yinakumwinkawu yalalaku. Herodi natiyi kuwaha nawa nakufwila “kumona chinjikijilu chadi kukoñayi.” (Luka 23:8) Hela chochu, Yesu haneli chuma chinakukeñayi Herodiku. Kafwampi, Herodi chinamwihuliyi malwihu, Yesu hanahoshihu niizu nidimuku. Herodi hamu niamashidika indi anatiyi kutama chakwila ‘anamusawuli.’ (Luka 23:11) Anamuvwiki chakuvwala chawuseya nawa anatachiki kumuseha. Nkumininaku, Herodi namufuntishi Yesu kudi Pilatu. Herodi naPilatu atiyañanaña wanyi, ilaña ichi anekali amabwambu.

Yesu chinafuntiyi, Pilatu natambiki akulumpi jawatupristu, anyuuli awaYudeya niantu nawa nahoshi nindi: “Namwihujola hamesu enu, ilaña hinnamuwani nayiluwa yimunakumwinkelahu nyiloñaku. Kafwampi, Herodi niyena hamuwanahu namuloñaku, muloña wamufuntisha cheñi kudi etu, tiyenu! hanakoñihu chuma chatelela kufwilahuku. Dichi ami nukumubabesha hohu nawa nimuumbiku.”—Luka 23:14-16.

 Pilatu nakufwila kumumbaku Yesu, muloña neluki nindi atupristu anakutiya ichima dihanafumi amukwati nakumuleta. Pilatu chinakufwila kumumbaku Yesu, anamutemesheli mazu kulonda eli mwenimu. Iku wuchidi washakama hetanda dindi dakusompeshela, ñodindi namutemesheli mazu nindi: “Bayi wukoña chuma chidi chejima hadi owu muntu waloñaku, muloña ami dalelu nakabakani nankashi muchilota [chakadi nikujina chinafumi kudi Nzambi] muloña wayena.”—Matewu 27:19.

Pilatu wukumumbaku ñahi iwu muntu wakadi muloña neyi chatela kwilayi?
