Echu yoothananiha wa athiyana yaala vaavaa anoonaaya wi munihiyeni hiwaamo echu. Mariya Matalena onnachimakela wa “Simoni Petro ni wa óhuserya mukina yowo Yesu ámusivenliye”—murummwa Yohani. (Yohani 20:2) Mu elukuluku yeeyo, athiyana akina yaawo ahanle va nihiye annamoona munkeelo. Nave mpuwa mwa nihiye ookhalawo munkeelo mukina, yoowo “awanre sawela.”—Marko 16:5.

Munkeelo mmoha onnaaleela athiyana awo: “Muhituthuwe! Munamwasya Yesu o Nazaré athomeyiwe [vamwirini]. Owo òvinya mokhwani, và khavo. Mone nipuro nene ataleliweiyevo. Vano muye mwalèle amuhuseryawe ni mwamulèle Pedro, mwere: owo onoholelani ayaka o Galileya. Weiwo muneranyu mmonewo, ntoko alontxeiye.” (Marko 16:6, 7) Mwawiihiiha, athiyana ala “esaren’ye wova ni ehakalanle,” annachimaka wi yaaleele arummwa.—Mateu 28:8.

Vano, Mariya onnamphwanya Petro ni Yohani. Iichaka miwiya, onnaloca: “Àhavìhamo Apwiya munihiyeni, nave hinsuwenle akun’hayawo.” (Yohani 20:2) Petro ni Yohani annapacerya ochimaka. Yohani onnatepa ochimaka nave topacenrye ophiya o nihiye. Owo onnavareryela mpuwa mwa nihiye nave onnoona ikuwo, koma hanavolowa mpuwa.

Vaava Petro onaphiyeiye, onnavolowa mu nihiye. Onnoona ikuwo sa liinyu, ni ekuwo yaahuruweliweno muru wa Yesu. Yohani onnavolowatho, nave onnaroromela yoolokoha ya Mariya Matalena. Moohipwacha yeeyo Yesu aalonceiye wuupaceryani, haavovo naari mmoha a yaawo oniiwexexa wi owo ooviihiwa mookhwani. (Mateu 16:21) Annachikela owaani eri oohaleeliheya. Nave Mariya, yoowo okookenle o nihiye onnatitelela okhala weiwo.

Mu elukuluku yeela, athiyana akina ari mphironi eyaaka waaleela arummwa wi Yesu  ooviihiwa mookhwani. Vaava awo anachimakaaya wi yalokohe yeela, Yesu onnakumana ni yaawo nave onnaloca: “Moni!” Awo annuuwela vamiithoni vawe “enamwepesa.” Voocharela Yesu onnaloca: “Muhòve! Muye mwalèle asinnaka wi eye o Galileya. Weiwo anamukònawo.”—Mateu 28:9, 10.

Woopaceryani, vaavaa aakhumelenleiye mwaacikinye nave ankeelo erwa, anakhoco ale yaalipelela nihiye “yàpatxerya othukumela, nave ekhala ntoko òkhwa.” Emanle ovinya, yaavolowa mu epooma nave “yàlèla asitokwene a alipa a mukutxho sothesene seren’ye.” Voocharela anamukucho yaaya ovaanela ni asitokweene a Ayuta. Yaahipaka yoolakelela ya waavaha makhwankwa anakhoco wi ekhuwe mwaha owo nave eloce wi: “Hiyo nrupaka, àrwa ohiyu amuhuseryawe ni emwiya.”—Mateu 28:4, 11, 13.

Nlamulo na akhoco o Roma naaloca wi wakhala wi anakhoco aarupa va muteko woolipelela, awo yaaphwanela okhwa. Mwawiihiiha anamukucho yaahaaroromeliha: “Ela [wootha waya wi yaamukona] yiweya wa chamasowa, hiyo n’narwa-nimuthoríherya, nave n’narwa-niwerelani nyuwo wi muhipe murima.” (Mateu 28:14, Nlakano Nahihano) Anakhoco annaakhela makhwankwa nave anneerano yeeyo anamukucho aloncaaya. Mwawiihiiha mwaha wawootha wawi mwiili wa Yesu wohiiyiwa onnamwaramwaxeya variyari va Ayuta oothene.

Nlelo Mariya Matalena onamwiikhupanyerya o nihiye. Vaavaa oneemeleiye awehaka mpuwa mwa nihiye, onnawoona ankeelo eeli awanre saweela. Mmoha okiraanthe makupa a waamuru weiwo mwiili wa Yesu waateleliwaayawo, mmoha o inaani sawe. Awo annamukoha: “Muthiyana, oninlelani?” Mariya onnaakhula: “Àmukusa Pwiya aka, ni nkisuwenle amukun’hayawo.” Arukunuwelaka makupa makina, onnamoona muchu mukina. Owotho onnuuluulela nikoho nipakiwe ni ankeelo nave onnaaceererya: “Muthiyana, oninlelani? Onasya ani?” Mariya uupuwelaka wi mulipa eemaca, owo onnaloca: “Pwiya, warì weyano omukunsemo, okilele nipuro omukun’hawevo, nave miyo kinamuya kamukusevo.”—Yohani 20:13-15.

Mu elukuluku yeela, Mariya onaloca ni Yesu yoowo oviihiwe mookhwani, koma hanamusuwela. Nto, vaavaa Yesu onaloceiye ariki, “Maria!” Onnasuwela wi ti Yesu, amusuwelaka moorweela mwa mukhalelo woonthamwene Yesu onaloceiye ni Mariya. “Rabbuni”, ti wi, muhusiha!, Mariya onnakhuwela moohakalala. Nave, oovaka wi ohanle vakhaani owela wirimu, Mariya onnamphara Yesu mwawaakuveya. Mwa yeela, Yesu onnamulupiha Mariya ariki: “Ohikiphare, wona wi nivano nkiwenle wa Atithi. Nto hawé wa asinnaka ni walèle oriki: kinaya wa Atithi aka ni Atithi anyu, wa Muluku aka ni Muluku anyu.—Yohani 20:16, 17.

Mariya onachimakela weiwo arummwa ni akina athukumannaayawo. Owo onnaaleela yaawo ariki: “Kòwona Apwiya” onnaaceererya yoolokoha ni yeeyo awo amanlaaya wiiwa orweela wa athiyana akina. (Yohani 20:18) Naamwi hiiha, ‘masu yawo anòneya wa Arummwa ntoko masu asiyo.’—Luka 24:11.
