Pilato akatɛ olui w’anto wakayangaka nyɔi ka Yeso ate: “Ndooko kɛnya dia kɛnɛ koofundanyu kekɔ mɛtɛ. Ndo Hɛrɔdɛ lawɔ hootanyi ndooko la dikambo.” (Luka 23:14, 15) Kakianɛ, lo nyanga dia pandja Yeso, Pilato ambokamba la yoho kina, lo mbutɛ anto ate: “Nyekɔ la mbekelo ka dimi nyotshungolɛka onto ɔmɔtshi lo dambo di’Elekanelo. Onde nyu nangaka dimi nyotshungolɛ Nkumekanga k’ase Juda?”​—Joani 18:39.

Pilato akeyaka dia onto ɔmɔtshi laki lo lokanu lokombo lande Barabasɛ, akeyamaka oko ɔpɔtwanyi, ɔtɔmbɔshi ndo ondjakanyi. Ɔnkɔnɛ, Pilato akambola ate: “Alanganyu dimi nyotshungolɛ, Barabasɛ kana Yeso lelamɛ ɔnɛ Kristo?” Oko akawatshutshuyama oma le ewandji w’ɛlɔmbɛdi, anto wakalɔmbɛ dia Barabasɛ ntshungɔ, koko aha Yeso. Pilato akambola nto ate: “Akɔna l’atei w’anto anɛ 2 alanganyu dimi nyotshungolɛ?” Olui w’anto wakate la dui dia wolo ɔnɛ: “Barabasɛ”!​—Mateo 27:17, 21.

Pilato akakɔmɔ, ndo akambola ate: “Ko ayomosala la Yeso lelamɛ Kristo?” Anto wakahangɔhangɔ ɔnɛ: “Hanɛnde l’otamba!” (Mateo 27:22) Aha la mboka nsɔnyi, vɔ wekɔ lo nyanga nyɔi k’onto laha l’onongo. Pilato akambola ate: “Lande na? Kɔlɔ kakɔna kosadi pami kɛnɛ? Dimi halɛnyi ndooko dikambo diosadinde diakokande ndjakema. Ɔnkɔnɛ, layowosha dilanya ko mbokimɔ.”​—Luka 23:22.

Kaanga mbakadje Pilato welo mbala la mbala, olui w’anto waki la nkɛlɛ wakate vɔ tshɛ ɔnɛ: “Hanɛnde l’otamba!” (Mateo 27:23) Ewandji w’ɔtɛmwɛlɔ wakatshutshuya olui w’anto ɔsɔ dia monga la nkɛlɛ k’efula ka kɛdia dikila! Koko aha dikila di’ondjakanyi. Ekɔ dikila di’onto laha l’onongo lele ambeta nshi tshanu wakolongola la Jɛrusalɛma oko Nkumekanga. Naka ambeki wa Yeso waki lawɔ, kete vɔ wakatshikala ki ndo wakasale di’aha mbeyama.

Pilato akɛnyi dia kɛnɛ tshɛ kasalande kekɔ anyanya. Lofunge lakayala, ɔnkɔnɛ nde akɔshi ashi ndo akasole anya lo washo w’olui w’anto. Nde akawatɛ ate: “Dimi keema l’onongo wa dikila di’onto ɔnɛ. Nyu nyuamɛ nyendane la diɔ.” Kaanga dui sɔ kotshikitanya kanyi y’anto. Koko, vɔ wakate vate: “Dikila diande diayale l’ɛtɛ aso ndo l’ɛtɛ wa anaso.”​—Mateo 27:24, 25.

Nguvɛrnɛrɛ akalange mbakotshɛ nsaki kawɔ lo dihole dia nsala kɛnɛ kakandeyaka dia kaki dimɛna. Ɔnkɔnɛ, lo ndjela kɛnɛ kakawɔlɔmbɛ, Pilato akatshungolɛ olui w’anto ɔsɔ Barabasɛ. Nde akate dia vɔ nkolola Yeso ahɔndɔ, ko oma laasɔ wakɔkɔmɔla.

L’ɔkɔngɔ wa mbosoya la dikɔmɔki sɔ, asɔlayi wakatshu la Yeso lo luudu la nguvɛrnɛrɛ.  Olui w’otondo w’asɔlayi wakatshumana ndo wakanyomoleka mbɔhɛnyahɛnya. Vɔ wakasale ekata k’atɛndɛ ko wakɔlɔtshatɔ l’ɔtɛ. Asɔlayi wakakimiyɛ Yeso danga lo lonya l’omi ndo wakɔlɔtsha okutu wa beela wele oko wɔnɛ wakalɔtaka nkumekanga. Vɔ wakɔsɔkɛ ɔnɛ: “Nkumekanga k’ase Juda, he mɔyɔ!” (Mateo 27:28, 29) Oleki laasɔ, vɔ wakatɛ Yeso nsɔyi ndo wakatetemala mbɔkɔmɔla mbala l’elungi. Vɔ wakɔshi danga oma le nde ndo wakɔkɔmɔladiɔ l’ɔtɛ ndo kɛsɔ akaleke nyɔngɔmiya atɛndɛ wa “ekata” kakawasale dia mbosha nsɔnyi.

Kɛnɛmɔ ka diambo kaki la Yeso ndo woho wakandakikɛ awui asɔ tshɛ akaambiya Pilato diakɔ diele nde akayange yoho kina ya ndjatondja oma l’onongo lo mbuta ate: “Nyende, dimi lambonyelande l’andja dia nyu mbeya dia dimi hambotanyi ndooko l’onongo.” Onde Pilato akafɔnya dia ntondja kakianɛ Yeso lele ambɔkɔmama ndo ambohomuyama l’andja ayotshutshuya olui w’anto ɔsɔ dia vɔ mbooka kɛtshi? Etena kakemala Yeso la ntondo k’olui w’anto wa kɔlɔ ɔsɔ, Pilato akate ate: “Onto akɔ nde ɔnɛ!”​—Joani 19:4, 5.

Kaanga mbakandakɔmama ndo mbakandahomuyama, Yeso akatshikala ki ndo kombayaya. Dui sɔ diakahombe mambiya Pilato nɛ dia ɛtɛkɛta ande mɛnyaka dia nde aki la dilɛmiɛlɔ otsha le Yeso ndo akawoke kɛtshi.
