Banabakazhi bakankamenetu byo bataaine kilende mo bazhikile Yesu kyashinkuka. Maliya Magadala wayile lubilo kwi “Shimona Petelo ne ku mwana wa bwanga mukwabo ye atemenwe Yesu,” ko kuba’mba mutumwa Yoano. (Yoano 20:2) Nangwa byonkabyo, kyamweka banabakazhi bakwabo bashajile ku kilende bamwene malaika. Kabiji mu kilende mukachi mwajinga malaika mukwabo ‘wavwajile mukunkumba utoka.’—Mako 16:5.

Malaika umo wibabuujile’mba: “Kuba moyo ne, nayuka namba mubena kukeba Yesu ye baipayijile pa kichi. Aye kechi uji kuno ne, mambo bamusangula kala, monka mo aambijile. Iyai, monai po alaajile. Pelawizhai kabuulai baana banji ba bwanga amba bamusangula kala mu bafu, kabiji watangilako kala ku Ngalilea.” (Mateo 28:5-7) Onkao mambo, “banyemeneko saka baji na moyo” kabiji bayile na kubuula baana ba bwanga.—Mako 16:8.

Maliya wataaine Petelo ne Yoano. Saka aakamwa wibabuujile’mba: “Nkambo bamufumyamo mu kilende, kabiji kechi twayuka ko bamubika ne.” (Yoano 20:2) Ba Petelo ne Yoano bayile lubilo. Yoano wajinga bingi na lubilo kabiji ye wafikile bukiji ku kilende. Wasumbijile mu kilende kabiji wamwene bisapi, bino kechi watwelelemo ne.

Petelo byo afikile, wafikenejiletu kutwela mukachi. Wamwene bisapi bya linenyi ne kisapi kyo bapombele ku mutwe wa kwa Yesu. Yoano naye watwelele mu kilende kabiji waswile byaambile Maliya. Nangwa kya kuba Yesu wibabuujile’mba ukasangulwa, bino ba Petelo ne Yoano kechi bakwatakenye’mba Yesu wasanguka ne. (Mateo 16:21) Bakankamenetu kabiji babwelele ku nzubo. Bino Maliya wabwelele jibiji ku kilende, kabiji waikele konka.

Pa kikye kimye, banabakazhi bakwabo bayile na kubuula baana ba bwanga amba Yesu wasanguka. Byo bayilenga lubilo, Yesu wibasambakene  ne kwibemuna’mba: “Mutende mwane!” Abo baponejile ku maulu ne “kumulambila.” Kepo Yesu ebambijile’mba: “Kwakamwa ne! Yainga mukabuule balongo bami kuba’mba baye ku Ngalilea kabiji bakammona konkakwa.”—Mateo 28:9, 10.

Byo kwaubiwe kitentanshi ne bamalaika byo bamwekele, bashilikale basopelenga kilende “baumvwine bingi moyo ne kwikala nobe bafwa.” Byo bapupulukile, bayile mu muzhi ne “kubuula bañanga bakatampe bintu byonse byamwekele.” Kepo bañanga besambilepo na bakulumpe ba Bayudea. Kabiji bafuukwilepo kupa bashilikale mazhikakanwa kuba’mba bafye kino kintu kyamwekele ne kwibabuula kuya na kwamba’mba: “Baana banji ba bwanga baji kwiya bufuku ne kumwibamo mubiji saka twalaala.”—Mateo 28:4, 11, 13.

Bashilikale bena Loma bafwainwe kwibepaya na mambo a kulaala pa nkito, onkao mambo, bañanga bakatampe bebalayile’mba: “Umvwe kitumbafumu omvwe kino [bubela bwa kuba’mba balaajile], atweba tusakwisamba nanji, kabiji anweba kange mwakamwe ne.” (Mateo 28:14) Bashilikale batambwile mazhikakanwa o bebapele kabiji baubile byonka bibabuujile bañanga. Na mambo a kino, sawakya wa bubela wa kuba’mba mubiji wa kwa Yesu bamwibamo wakumbene ku Bayudea bonse.

Maliya Magadala wakijinga ku kilende saka ajila. Byo abandamine’mba asumbile mu kilende, wamwene bamalaika babiji saka bavwala bivwalo bitoka. Umo waikele ku mitwe ne mukwabo waikele ku maulu po babikile mubiji wa kwa Yesu. Bamwipwizhe’mba: “Inetu, mubena kujila ka?” Maliya wakumbwile’mba: “Bamufumyamo Nkambo yami, kabiji kechi nayuka ko bamubika ne.” Maliya byo aalulukile, wamwene muntu umo. Waipwizhe bwipuzho bonka bo bamwipwizhepo bamalaika bwa kuba’mba: “Ñanyi ye mubena kukeba?” Maliya byo alangulukilenga’mba ye wa mwingilo wa mu bujimi, wamwambijile’mba: “Mwane, umvwe yenu mwamusenda, mbuulai ko mwamubika kuba’mba ngye nkamusende.”—Yoano 20:13-15.

Maliya wisambilenga ne Yesu, bino pa kikye kimye kechi wamuyukile ne. Nangwa byonkabyo, byo amwichile pa jizhina amba, “Maliya!” po po ayukile’mba Yesu, mambo wayukile jishinda Yesu jo amwichilangamo. Maliya wabijikile na lusekelo amba: “Laboni!” (kulumbulula’mba “Mufunjishi!”). Bino byo aakaminwe’mba katatakatu aye mwiulu, wamukwachile. Onkao mambo, Yesu wamwambijile’mba: “Kileke kunkwata, mambo nkyangye kuya kwi Batata. Bino yanga ku balongo bami ne kwibabuula’mba, ‘Amiwa mbena kuya kwi Batata kabiji Bashenu, ne kwi Lesa wami kabiji Lesa wenu.’”—Yoano 20:16, 17.

Maliya wayile lubilo kwakonkenejile batumwa ne baana ba bwanga bakwabo. Wibabuujile’mba: “Namumona Nkambo!” kununga pa sawakya waambile banabakazhi bakwabo. (Yoano 20:18) Pano bino, abo “bino byambo bebimwenenga nobe byatutu.”—Luka 24:11.
