Pilato Onnaloca: “Mmone Mutxhu Ene!”

Pilato aahaaleela achu yaavya omwiipha Yesu: “Nkiphwannye mwa mulopwana nthowa na mulatxu womuthorihelano ekoi. Nari mano Heróde.” (Luka 23:14, 15) Vano Pilato onneererya mukhalelo mukina, alocaka ni achu: “Eri yokhovelelanyu wi elukuluku ya Paska kimutaphule mulipa òphariwa mmoha. Vano munakhwela kimutaphule mwene a Ayuda?”—Yohani 18:39.

Pilato aahimusuwela mulipa oophariwa iichaniwa Parapa, yoowo aari mpava ni mulipa awiipha. Mwawiihiiha Pilato onnakoha: “Munakhwela kitaphule ani, Baraba nari Yesu oniwa Kristu?” Eceenyeryiwaka ni atokweene a anamukucho, achu annaveka wi ataphuliwe Parapa omuhiya Yesu. Pilato onnakoha wanaawiili: “Wa eli ala, munnakhwela wi kitaphule ani?” Muloko owo onnakhuwela oriki: “Baraba!”—Mateu 27:17, 21.

Moothanana, Pilato onnakoha: “Nka Yesu, oneriwa Kristu, kimwereleni?” Achu annakhuwela: “Akhomeliwe [vamwirini]!” (Mateu 27:22) Moohuuliwa muru awo analamulela okhwa wa mulopwana oohichenke. Pilato onnakoha: “Mulopwana ola enreiye yonanara t’evi? Nkiphwannye mwa yowo nthowa nophwanela wiphiwa. Tivanto miyo, kamonihà ekoi, kinammutaphula.”—Luka 23:22.

Moohipwacha wiilipixerya wa Pilato, muloko woonyeenyeya onnakhuwela mwawiiwanana oriki: “Akhomeliwe [vamwirini]!” (Mateu 27:23) Ahooleli a malapelo aalapa mwakuru wi elekeche muloko ophiyerya onachuna nikhami pahiru! Nave tahi nikhami na muchu oohuhula, naari na mulipa awiipha. Nna nikhami na mulopwana ohichenke, yoowo mu mahiku mathanu muculi aakheliwe phaama avolowaka o Yerusalemu ntoko Mwene. Waakhanle wi amuhuserya a Yesu ari vaava, awo annatitelela okhala oomaala ni awiikasoopa.

Pilato onnoona wi sooveka sawe hasinaphura echu. Onnakhumelela ohiiwanana, mwawiihiiha Pilato onnakusa maahi nave onnanawa vamiithoni va muloko woothene. Owo onnaaleela achu awo: “Miyo nkano nthowa nnikhami na mutxhu ola. Mwereke munakhwelanyu.” Naamwi hiiha, nlelo achu hanatoroka muupuwelo aya. Opwaha yeeyo, awo annaloca: “Nikhami nawe nnimorele hiyo ni anihu.”—Mateu 27:24, 25.

Mulamuleli ola onachuna waahakalaliha yaawo ohiya opaka yeeyo onasuweleiye wi ti yawookololowa. Mwawiihiiha mwawiiwanana ni yoovekaaya, Pilato onnamutaphula Parapa variyari va muloko. Owo onnalamulela wi Yesu aruliwe soowara sawe nave awasuliwe.

Emanle onwasula, anakhoco annamukeriha Yesu mpa mwa mulamuleli. Nikhuuru na anakhoco ninnathukumana nave ninnamunyemula Yesu. Awo annapaka ekhara ya miiwa nave annanwariha. Anakhoco annamuteesihatho Yesu ekopo mu ntata nawe noolopwana nave annanwariha yoowara yooxeerya, yeeyo enawariwa ni mwene. Awo annaloca mwa munyemu: “Moni, mwene a Ayuda!” (Mateu 27:28, 29) Opwaha yeeyo, awo annamutaphera mara Yesu nave annammana withoni. Ekusaka ekopo eri mmatani mwawe annammanano vamuru yeerihaka wi miiwa sa “ekhara” yoohoosa ipwineke vamuruni vawe.

Omaaleleya wa Yesu ni ikuru sawe mu ichu soothene seiha oneereliweiye, sinnamutikhiniha Pilato yoowo oneererya wiisooneiha mukhateiye wi haanono nthowa, alocaka: “Onani, miyo kinnamuruha vate va wi musuwele wi nkinaphwanya wa yowo nthowa.” Apwanne Pilato onuupuwela wi omuruuha Yesu vaate ari oophoreya ene ni aconyaka nikhami, enahaala weeriha muloko otoroka moonelo aya? Vaavaa Yesu oneemeleiye ohoolo wa achu, Pilato onnakhuwela: “Mmone mutxhu ene!”—Yohani 19:4, 5.

Naamwi Yesu amaniwaka ni ophoreihiwa, owo onnatitelela okhala oomaaleleya. Ela akhweya ennamutikhiniha Pilato nthowa nawi masu awe annooniherya ncicimiho ni ikharari ntakhara Yesu.
