“Amubone, Ngooyu Muntu”
KALAMIDWE akulimeka kwa Jesu alimwi akuziba kuti takwe mulandu, Pilato wayandaula imbi nzila yakumwaangulula. Waambila makamu aabantu kuti: “Mulijisi ciyanza, kuti kuciindi ca-Pasika mulaangulwidwa muntu omwe uuangidwe.”
Baraba, imujayi uudumide awalo mmwaange aciindi aawa aboobo Pilato wabuzya ategwa: “Ino nguli ngumuyanda kuti mwaangunwidwe? Sa ngu-Baraba nanka Jesu uutegwa Kristo?”
Kabakulwaizigwa abapaizi basilutwe, ibantu baamba kuti Baraba aangununwe pele Jesu ajaigwe. Katatyompwi, Pilato wababuzya alimwi ategwa: “Ino nguli akati kabaaba bobile ngumuyanda kuti mwaangunwide?”
Boompolola balaamba: “Ngu-Baraba.”
“Anu nkamucitilenzi, oyu Jesu uutegwa Kristo?” Pilato wabuzya cakutyompwa.
Baingula mujwi lisinka matwi ategwa: “Abambulwe [acisamu, NW].” “Mubambule, mubambule.”
Kazi kuti bayanda kuti muntu uutakwe mulandu afwe, Pilato wakombelezya ulaamba: “Nkaambonzi ino? Ncibinzi ncaakacita? Mebo nsimujene mulandu uuelede lufu pe, nkaako ndiyoomuuma akumwaangununa.”
Nokuba kuti wasola nzila ezi zyoonse, eyi nkamu iikalede, iiyungwa abasololi bacikombelo yazumanana koongolola ategwa: “Akankaminwe [acisamu, NW].” Kwiinda mukuyungwa abapaizi ikuba muciimo cakubee basondoka buya, eyi nkamu yabantu iyanda bulowa. Alimwi kuti mwayeeya, mazuba osanwe buyo aainda, ambweni bamwi akati kabaaba mbebakali kutambula Jesu naakanjila mu Jerusalemu kuti Mwami! Muciindi coonse eci, basikwiiya ba Jesu kuti naa nkobali, baluumwine wi akutaboneka cantangalala.
Pilato naabona kuti kulomba kwakwe kunyina ncokubeleka pele kuleta buyo lupyopyongano alumbi, wabweza maanzi wasamba kumaanza kumbele lyankamu akwaamba kuti: “Nsikwe mulandu kubulowa bwamuntu oyu mululami, makani aanu nywebo.” Bamvwe boobo bantu baingula ategwa: “Bulowa bwakwe abube kulindiswe akubana besu.”
Aboobo kweelana ambobayanda—alimwi kayanda kukkomanisya nkamu kwiinda kuti acite cintu ncazi kuti cililuzi—Pilato wabaangunwida Baraba. Wamubweza Jesu wamusamununa mpoonya wamukwipaula. Oku teekwakali kukwipaula buyo. Ibbuku litegwa The Journal of the American Medical Association lipandulula cilengwa caba Roma cakukwipaula munzila eyi:
“Icibelesyo ncobakali kubelesya lyoonse mmutatula mufwaafwi (flagrum naa flagellum) wakajisi zitolopu zinji izitoosedwe naa zyoosedwe izyacipaya izilaabulamfwu bwaandeene, zyalo zyaangilidwe tubulo tubulungene naa tupapu-papu twatufwuwa twambelele tubosya aawa awaawa. . . . Basilumamba bana Roma nobakali kuuma cakuliindulukila kumusanaa yooyo sikuumwa anguzu zyabo zyoonse, itubulo tubulungene twakali kusimba alimwi zitolopu ezi alimwi atufwuwa twambelele twakali kuzapaula cikanda atulambi tuli kunsi acikanda. Mpoonya kukwipaula oku nokwakali kuzumanana, ikukwamauka oku kwakali kunjila mumilambi akuletelezya kuzyangama kwanyama iimimita bulowa.”
Naamana kuumwa boobu cakupenzyegwa, Jesu watolwa kuŋanda yamweendelezi elyo basilumamba boonse baitwa antoomwe. Oku basilumamba bayaambele kumusampaula kwiinda mukoosa musyini wamamvwa akumusamika kumutwe. Babikka itete kujanza lyakwe lyalulyo akumusamika jansi lisalala pyu, imusyobo uusama bami. Mpoonya balaamba kulinguwe cakusabuzya ategwa: “Mwabonwa, numwami waba-Juda!” Alimwi bamuswida mate akumukwapula mbayi kumeso. Babweza tete elyo lyali kumaanza aakwe akumuumya ndilyo mumutwe wakwe aboobo bayasisya mamvwa mumutwe aali ku “musini” wakwe wamasampu.
Ibulemu bwa Jesu ibugambya alimwi anguzu muciindi eci cakupenzyegwa kwamulamya kapati Pilato cakuti wasoleka alimwi kuti aangununwe. Waambila makamu ategwa: “Amubone, ndamuleta kulindinywe, kuti mukazibe kuti nsijene kaambo kulinguwe.” Ambweni weezyeezya kuti babona mbuli mbwaapenzyegwa Jesu balabaa luse. Kaimvwi Jesu kumbele aankamu eyi iitakwe luse, kasamide musyini wamamvwa ajansi lisalala pyu alimwi abusyu bwakwe ibuzwa bulowa akucisa kapati, Pilato ulaamba: “Amubone, ngooyu muntu.”
Nokuba kuti uluumidwe cakumucisa, ngooyu muntu uulamya kwiinda ikuzwa kaindi, masimpe ngomuntu mupati kwiinda iwakaponede! Inzya, Jesu watondezya bulemu alimwi akukkalika camba zyalo zitondezya bupati bwalo naba Pilato mbwaazuminizya nkaambo majwi aakwe alimvwisya kuti ngabulemu alimwi aluse.
