Yezu ki mmusokoke bua kuambila Pilato ne: udi mukalenge to. Kadi Bukalenge buende kabuena buluisha bua mu Lomo to. Yezu udi wamba ne: “Bukalenge buanyi ki mbua pa buloba ebu to. Bu Bukalenge buanyi buikale bua pa buloba ebu, bena mudimu banyi bavua mua kuluangana bua tshifidibu kudi bena Yuda to. Kadi anu mudibi, Bukalenge buanyi ki mbufumine muaba eu to.” (Yone 18:36) Eyowa, Yezu udi ne Bukalenge, kadi ki mbua pa buloba to.

Pilato ki mmuimanyine apu to. Udi webeja ne: “Nanku, udi mukalenge anyi?” Ke Yezu kuambila Pilato bua amanye ne: uvua muambilamu padiye umuandamuna ne: “Wewe nkayebe ke udi wamba ne: ndi mukalenge. Bualu ndi muledibue bua bualu ebu, ne ndi mulue pa buloba bua bualu ebu, bua meme kumanyisha bulelela. Muntu yonso udi ku luseke lua bulelela udi uteleja dîyi dianyi.”​—Yone 18:37.

Yezu ukavua muambile Tomase ne: “Meme ndi njila ne bulelela ne muoyo.” Mpindieu nansha Pilato udi umvua ne: bavua batume Yezu pa buloba bua kumanyisha “bulelela,” nangananga bulelela bua Bukalenge buende. Yezu uvua mudisuike bua kushala ne lulamatu ku bulelela abu nansha biobi bilomba bua afue. Pilato wakebeja ne: “Bulelela ntshinyi?” Kadi kavua muindile bua bamuimvuije malu makuabu to. Uvua mumone ne: malu avuaye mumvue avua makumbane bua kukosa tshilumbu tshia muntu eu.​—Yone 14:6; 18:38.

Pilato udi uya kudi bantu badi bindile pambelu pa dibalasa diende. Pamuapa Yezu udi ku luseke luende padiye wambila bamfumu ba bakuidi ne bantu badibu nabu ne: “Tshiena musangane muntu eu ne bualu bubi to.” Bu muvua bualu ebu bufiikishe musumba wa bantu munda, bakasuminyina bamba ne: “Udi utombuesha bantu padiye wenda ulongesha mu Yudaya mujima, kutuadijila mu Galela too ne munemu.”​—Luka 23:4, 5.

Mushindu uvua bena Yuda banange malu avua kaayi ne mutu wakakemesha Pilato bikole. Padi bamfumu ba bakuidi ne bantu bakole batungunuka ne kuela mbila, Pilato udi webeja Yezu ne: “Kuena mumvue bungi bua malu adibu bakubanda nawu anyi?” (Matayi 27:13) Yezu kena wandamuna to. Mushindu udiye ne lutulu padibu bamubanda bibi eu udi ukemesha Pilato.

Bena Yuda bakaleja ne: Yezu uvua ‘mutuadijile mu Galela.’ Ke Pilato kumanyaye ne: Yezu uvua bushuwa muena mu Galela. Bualu ebu buakapesha Pilato lungenyi lua mua kuepuka bujitu bua kulumbuluisha Yezu. Helode Antipa (muana wa Helode Munene) ke uvua mukalenge mu Galela, uvua mu Yelushalema mu tshikondo tshia Pasaka atshi. Nunku Pilato wakatuma Yezu kudi Helode. Helode Antipa ke uvua mutume dîyi bua bakose mutu wa Yone Mubatiji. Pashishe pakumvua Helode ne: Yezu uvua muenze malu a kukema a bungi, uvua wela meji ne: Yezu uvua mua kuikala Yone mubike ku lufu.​—Luka 9:7-9.

Mpindieu Helode udi usanka bua mudiye mumone Yezu. Kadi ki mbualu mmusue kuambuluisha Yezu anyi ujinga mu bulelela bua kumanya ni kuvua malu malelela avuabu bamubanda nawu to. Helode uvua musue anu kumanya malu patupu, ne uvua ‘mutekemene bua kumumona wenza tshimanyinu kampanda.’ (Luka 23:8) Kadi Yezu kavua mukumbaje dijinga dia Helode to. Nunku padi Helode umuela nkonko, Yezu kena wandamuna to. Bu muvua bualu ebu buele Helode ne basalayi bende mâyi ku makasa, bakenzela Yezu malu “ne dipetu.” (Luka 23:11) Bakamuvuadika tshilamba tshimpe ne kumusekabu. Pashishe Helode wakapingaja Yezu kudi Pilato. Helode ne Pilato bavua baluishi, kadi mpindieu mbalue balunda banene.

Padi Yezu upingana, Pilato udi ubikidisha bamfumu ba bakuidi, bamfumu ba bena Yuda, ne bantu ubambila ne: “Ndi mumuele nkonko kumpala kuenu, kadi tshiena musangane muntu eu ne bualu nansha bumue bunudi numubanda nabu to. Mu bulelela, nansha Helode ki mmumusangane ne bualu to, bualu mmumupingaje kutudi, ne monayi!  ki mmuenze bualu budi bukumbanyine lufu to. Nunku nemmupeshe dinyoka, pashishe nemmulekele.”​—Luka 23:14-16.

Pilato uvua ne dijinga dikole dia kulekesha Yezu, bualu uvua mumone ne: bakuidi bavua bamufile kudiye bua muvuabu ne mukawu. Padi Pilato uteta bua kulekesha Yezu, bualu bukuabu budi buenzeka ne bukolesha dijinga diende dia kuenza nanku. Padiye mu nkuasa wende wa dilumbuluisha, mukajende udi umutumina mukenji wamba ne: “Kubuelakanyi mu bualu bua muntu muakane au to, bualu ndi mukenge bikole lelu mu tshilota [pamuapa tshia kudi Nzambi] bua bualu buende.”​—Matayi 27:19.

Pilato uvuaku mua kulekesha muntu uvua kayi ne bualu eu bu muvuaye ujinga anyi?
