Baramutwarikisha ikamba ry’amahwa

Bamaze kumukubita ibimoko, kumwambika ikamba ry'amahwa no kumuzungurukana imbere y'abantu, Yesu arashikirizwa igihe abaherezi bavuze ko ata mwami bafise kiretse Kayisari. Yikorera umusaraba wiwe, ashinga nyina umwigishwa yakunda, avuga ati: Birarangiye, aca apfa. Yozefu na Nikodemu bamushingura mu murima.

Igice 19.

Nuko Pilato ajana Yesu, ategeka ko akubitwa amajeri. Abasirikare baboha ikamba ry’amahwa, barimushira ku mutwe, maze bamwambika umwitero w’umuyugubwe. Baguma baza iwe, bavuga bati: “Amahoro, Mwami w’Abayuda!” maze bamukubita amashi mu maso.

Pilato asubira kuja hanze, ababwira ati: “Ehe ndabamuzaniye hanze, kugira ngo mumenye yuko ntahicaho igicumuro na kimwe.” Nuko Yesu arasohoka yambaye ikamba ry’amahwa n’umwitero w’umuyugubwe. Pilato arababwira ati: “Ng’uyu umuntu!”

Igihe abakuru b’abaherezi n’abarinzi bamubona, barasemerera bati: “Mubambe! Mubambe!” Pilato arababwira ati: “Mumutware mwebwe, mumubambe, kuko jewe ntahicaho icaha na kimwe.”

Abayuda baramwishura bati: “Twebwe dufise itegeko; nk’uko iryo tegeko ribivuga, akwiye gupfa, kuko yigize Umwana w’Imana.”

Igihe Pilato yumva ayo majambo, arushiriza gutinya. Asubira kwinjira mu ngoro y’ubutegetsi, abaza Yesu ati: “Uva hehe?” Ariko Yesu nta cishuro yamuhaye. Nuko Pilato amubwira ati: “Ntuvugana nanje? Ntuzi yuko mfise ububasha bwo kugufungura, be n’ububasha bwo kukubamba?”

Yesu aramwishura ati: “Ntiwari kugira ububasha na buke kuri jewe iyo utabuhabwa buva mw’ijuru. Ni co gituma uwampejeje kuri wewe afise icaha gikomeye kuruta.”

Kuva ico gihe, Pilato yarondera kumufungura, ariko Abayuda barasemerera bati: “Nimba umufunguye, ntiwaba uri incuti ya Sezari. Umuntu wese yigira umwami aba arwanya Sezari.”

Pilato yumvise ayo majambo, azana Yesu hanze, maze yicara ku ntebe y’urubanza, ahantu hitwa Iseto ry’amabuye, mu rurimi rw’Igiaramu ngo Gabata. Hari ku musi wo kwitegurira Pasika, nko mu gicamutwenshi. Pilato abwira Abayuda ati: “Ng’uyu Umwami wanyu!”

Barasemerera bati: “Mumukureho! Mumukureho! Mubambe!” Pilato arababaza ati: “Mbe mbambe umwami wanyu?” Abakuru b’abaherezi baramwishura bati: “Nta wundi mwami dufise atari Sezari.”

Barahejeje kumutanga

Nuko aca ababaha ngo abambwe. Baca batwara Yesu, yikoreye umusaraba wiwe, arasohoka aja ahantu hitwa Igihanga, mu rurimi rw’Igiaramu ngo Gologota. Ng’aho ni ho bamubambiye, hamwe n’abandi babiri, umwe iruhande, uwundi iruhande, Yesu hagati yabo. Pilato kandi yanditse icapa aca akirometse ku musaraba, hariho handitswe hati: Yesu w’i Nazareti, Umwami w’Abayuda. Abayuda benshi barasoma ico capa, kuko ahantu Yesu yabambiwe hari hafi y’igisagara; cari canditswe mu Giaramu, mu Kilatini no mu Kigiriki. Nuko abakuru b’abaherezi b’Abayuda babwira Pilato bati: “Ntuhandike ngo ‘Umwami w’Abayuda,’ ahubwo handika ngo ‘Uyu muntu yavuze ko ari Umwami w’Abayuda.’”

Pilato arishura ati: “Ivyo nanditse naranditse.”

Abasirikare bahejeje kubamba Yesu, batwara impuzu ziwe, bazigabura mu bice bine, umwe wese agira igice ciwe, batwara n’ikanzu nyene. Iyo kanzu ntiyari ifise umudari, yarambirwe igizwe n’igice kimwe kuva hejuru gushika hasi. Nuko babwirana bati: “Ntiduyitabagure, ahubwo tuyitereye urupfunguzo kugira tumenye uwo izoba iya.” Ivyo vyabaye kugira ngo haranguke icanditswe kivuga giti: “Baragaburiye impuzu zanje, maze impuzu yanje bayitera urupfunguzo.” Nuko abasirikare bagira batyo.

Nyina, na mwene nyina, na Mariya umugore wa Kolopa, na Mariya Magadalena, bari bahagaze hafi y’umusaraba wa Yesu.

Yesu abonye nyina, be n’umwigishwa yakunda bahagaze ng’aho, abwira nyina ati: “Ga mugore, ng’uyu umuhungu wawe!” Maze abwira uwo mwigishwa ati: “Ng’uyu nyoko!” Kuva ico gihe, uwo mwigishwa amujana iwe mu rugo.

Birarangiye

Inyuma y’ivyo, Yesu azi yuko vyose biheze kurangurwa, kugira haranguke icanditswe, avuga ati: “Mfise inyota.”

Hari harimwo urwabya rwuzuye vino yaronse; bakoza isponje muri iyo vino, bayishira ku gatsima k’umuhisopi, bayikwegera ku kanwa kiwe.

Yesu ahavye iyo vino yaronse, avuga ati: “Birarangiye.” Aca aramanika umutwe, aca atanga umutima wiwe.

Kubera yuko hari ku musi wo kwitegura, kandi batashaka ko imibiri isigara ku musaraba kw’Isabato—kuko iyo Sabato yari umusi mukuru—Abayuda basaba Pilato ko bavuna amaguru y’abo bari babambwe, maze imibiri ikurwaho. Nuko abasirikare baraza, bavuna amaguru y’uwambere, maze n’uwundi bari babambanye. Mugabo bashikiriye Yesu, babonye ko yari amaze gupfa, ntibavuna amaguru yiwe. Ariko umwe mu basirikare amutobora mu rubavu n’icumu, maze aho nyene haca hasohoka amaraso n’amazi. ^a Uwavyiboneye yabihamije—kandi intahe yiwe ni iy’ukuri, na we azi yuko avuga ukuri—kugira namwe mwemere. Kuko ivyo vyose vyabaye kugira ngo haranguke icanditswe kivuga giti: “Nta gufwa na rimwe ryiwe rizovunwa.” Kandi icanditswe kindi na co kivuga giti: “Bazoraba uwo batoboye.”

Yozefu na Nikodemu

Inyuma y’ivyo, Yozefu w’i Arimatiya—umwigishwa wa Yesu, ariko mu ibanga, kubera gutinya Abayuda—asaba Pilato ko yomukuriraho umubiri wa Yesu. Pilato aremera, nuko araza awukuraho. Nikodemu, uwari warabanje kuja kwa Yesu mw’ijoro, na we araza, azanye ivyavangwa vy’imira n’aloye, nko ibiro mirongo irindwi n’ibitanu. Batwara umubiri wa Yesu, bawupfumbira mu mpuzu z’ilino hamwe n’imibavu, nk’uko ni akamenyero k’Abayuda ko guhamba. Ahantu yabambiwe hari harimwo itongo, mw’iryo tongo harimwo imva nshasha itari bwarundikwemwo umuntu n’umwe. Kubera yuko hari ku musi w’Abayuda wo kwitegura, kandi iyo mva yari hafi, bashira Yesu ng’aho.
