Twi mwifuku dya 14 dya mweshi wa Nisane, efuku tadyende mu kupwa. Pa kupona kwa nguba mwifuku dya 15 dya mweshi wa Nisane, Sabato ayikyebe kubanga. Yesu bapu kufwa, kadi bankitshishi ba bubi babidi be mu mpese mwaye bakyabatala. Muyile Mwiya, bibadi abitungu shi kitanda “takikishanga bufuku ku mutshi nya” anka, bibadi abitungu kumushiika’nka mu “dyady’efuku.”—Miiya Ikituulwe 21:22, 23.

Kukatusha byabya, kunyima kwa midi mu Dya katano abekwitanyinaa bu nsaa ya Kwilumbula mwanda bantu abateekye bidibwa na kupudisha ingi midimo yabashi balombene kutengyela na apakapwila Sabato. Pa kupona kwa nguba, Sabato ibidi, sunga efuku “dikata” dya Sabato adikyebe kubanga. (Yowano 19:31) Bi byabya mwanda efuku dya 15 dya mweshi wa Nisane adikala efuku dya kumpala dya ku mafuku musambo a Musangelo wa Mikate ishii na Kitatusho, na dyadya efuku adikalaa nka dya Sabato. (Beena-Levi 23:5, 6) Dino efuku dya kumpala dibadi difumankane na Sabato ya mu mpooso ibadi mwifuku dya musambo.

Bena Yuuda abatekyele Pilato bwa kwipaa bukidi Yesu na ba ngifi babidi abadi mu mpese mwaye. Mu kipaso kinyi? P’abo kutshokola mikoolo yabo. Mwanda su mikoolo ibatshokoka, tabekala na ngobesha ya kwibushula bwa shi bekale na muwa nya. Basalayi abafikile, abo nkutshokola mikoolo ya bangifi babidi. Abapetele Yesu mupwe kufwa, abo nkukutwa kutshokola mikoolo yaaye. Byabya bibadi bilombashe butemuki bwi mu mukanda wa Misambo  34:20 abwamba shi: “Alama mifufwa yaaye yooso, sunga umune tawi kutshokoka.”

Bwa kushinkamisha shi Yesu badi mufwe, musalayi umune bamusompele mulumbu mu lubafu, ao nkutwela mwishimba. “Anka papa, amwo nkutûka mase na mema.” (Yowano 19:34) Bino bibadi bilombashe bungi butemuki abwamba shi: “Abakatala kwandji’mi, winyi âbatubwile.”—Sekadya 12:10, EEM.

Yoosefe a mu kibalo dya Arimatee badi “muntu mpeta” na badi mwina Sanedrine sha kinemo, bapetekyelwe pababadi bayipee Yesu. (Mateo 27:57) Abamubalanga dingi bu “muntu e buwa na mululame,” badi “ayindjila Bufumu bw’Efile Mukulu.” Eyendo shi badi “mulondji aa Yesu anka badi afwama bwaa moo wa bena Yuuda,” nyi bwakinyi tabadi mukwatshishene bena Sanedrine mu kusambishwa kwa Yesu nya. (Luka 23:50; Maako 15:43; Yowano 19:38) Yoosefe banyingile eshimba bwa kuteka Pilato kitanda kya Yesu. Pilato bayipwishe musalayi badi na bwabwa bushito, aye nkushinkamisha shi Yesu bapwile kufwa. Akupu, Pilato badi mukumine bwa shi Yoosefe aate kitanda kyaye.

Yoosefe baudile kilamba kibuwa kya kishiika bafwe, aye nkuyisha Yesu ku mutshi. Badi mupombeleshe kitanda mu kyakya kilamba na kwikilumbuula bwa kumushiika. Nikodeme “bafikile namu, aye badi mwende mu kumona Yesu bufuku,” aye nkukwasha bwa kumulumbuula. (Yowano 19:39) Batwadile malaashi a miire na aloese bisangakeshe pamune bifikye ku kilo 30 na bibadi na muulo ukamine. Abadi bapombeleshe mbidi ya Yesu na bilamba byabadi beele malaashi muyile bibakitanga bena Yuuda bwa kushiika muntu.

Yoosefe batshile mashama aaye’ye nabeene abadi na lubwebwe mu bwipi, aye nkutula kitanda kya Yesu mwamwa. Akupu badi mubungulushe ebwe dikata, aye nkwidiputa ku mashama. Abakitshine bukidi byabya kumpala kwa shi Sabato ibangye. Abimweneka shi Maadiya a ku Mandala na Maadiya nyin’aye na Shake Mukinga abakwashile mu kulumbula kwa kitanda kya Yesu. Abayile bukidi ku nshibo “mu kulumbula malashi na bintu bya mapembwe” bwa kulumbula mbidi ya Yesu kunyima kwa Sabato.—Luka 23:56.

Butookye, bubadi efuku dya Sabato, bakata ba batshite mwakwidi na Bafadisee abayile kwi Pilato abo nkumulungula shi: “Tubatentekyesha’shi: yaawa sha-madimi bambile aye kyatala’shi: ‘Kuunyima kwa mafuku asatu, asanguka.’ Byaabya, tuma eyi bwa’shi bakalame mashaama nyaa na kwifuku dya kasatu, tala balondji baye bafika mu kumwiba babanga kulungula bantu shi ‘basanguka.’ Aa madimi a kuunyima ngalombeene kukila a kumpala ku bubi.” Pilato bebalungwile shi: “Mbaba bantu ba kulama. Ndaayi nukalamishe mashaama.”—Mateo 27:63-65.

Ku namashika bwee eese mu Dya lubingo, Maadiya a ku Mandala na Maadiya nyin’aye na Shake na bangi bana bakashi abatwadile bintu by’eshiko na malaashi ku mashama bwa kulumbula mbidi ya Yesu. Abadi abelungushena shi: “Nnanyi eetubungulwila ebwe dya ku kitwelelo kya ku mashaama?” (Maako 16:3) Anka, kubadi kukitshikye kutshinkakana kwa senga. Akupu, Mwikeyilu a Efile Mukulu bapwile kukatusha ebwe, balami tababadi kwanka nya, abo nkupeta mashama apuutule.
