Eelo kaka bamakaintu bagambwa nobasika kucuumbwe ca Jesu akujana kuti tako mucuumbwe! Mariya Magadalene walunduka kuya “kuli Simoni Petro akuli sikwiiya umbi, ooyo Jesu ngwaakali kuyandisya,”—mwaapostolo Johane. (Johane 20:2) Pele bamakaintu bambi ibali kucuumbwe babona mungelo. Mukati mucuumbwe kuli mungelo umbi, ‘uusamide cisani cilamfwu cituba.’—Marko 16:5.

Mungelo omwe wabaambila kuti: “Mutayoowi pe, nkaambo ndilizyi kuti muyandaula Jesu iwakajaigwa aacisamu. Tako muno pe, nkaambo wabusyigwa kweelana ambwaakaamba. Amuboole mubone busena mpaakalede. Lino kamuya cakufwambaana mukaambile basikwiiya bakwe kuti wabusyigwa kubafwu, amubone! Wamusolweda kuya ku Galilaya.” (Matayo 28:5-7) Aboobo “kabakankama akugambwa kapati,” bamakaintu balunduka akuyakwaambila basikwiiya.—Marko 16:8.

Aciindi eeci, Mariya wamujana Petro a Johane. Kafwooma waamba kuti: “Bamugusya Mwami mucuumbwe, pele tatuzyi nkobamulazika.” (Johane 20:2) Petro a Johane balulyata kuya kucuumbwe. Akaambo kakuba aalubilo Johane wasaanguna nguwe kusika kucuumbwe. Wasondela mukati akubona milembo, pele tanaanjila pe.

Petro naasika, tanaaima-ima pe, waile kunjila mukati. Wabona zisani zyamulembo muuba-uba alimwi acisani ncobakamuzambaide Jesu kumutwe. Lino awalo Johane wanjila akusyoma majwi aa Mariya. Nokuba kuti Jesu wakalaambide makani aaya musyule oomu, aaba bobilo tiibamvwisya kuti wabusyigwa. (Matayo 16:21) Kabazyingidwe, baunka kuŋanda. Pele Mariya walo iwajokela kucuumbwe, wasyaala ooko.

Kulubazu lumwi, bamakaintu bambi baunka kuyakwaambila basikwiiya kuti Jesu wabusyigwa. Nobali munzila kabayaabulunduka, Jesu wabayaanya akubaambila kuti: “Mwapona!” Bavwuntama  ansi kumaulu aakwe “akumufwugamina.” Mpoonya Jesu wabaambila kuti: “Mutayoowi! Kamuya, mukabaambile bakwesu kuti baunke ku Galilaya, eelyo ooko bayoondibona.”—Matayo 28:9, 10.

Musyule oomu, ciindi nokwacitikide muzuzumo wanyika alimwi anobalibonya bangelo, basikalumamba ibali kucuumbwe ‘bakankama akuba mbuli bantu bafwide.’ Nobapempenuka, banjila mumunzi ‘akwaambila basilutwe babapaizi zintu zyoonse izyacitika.’ Bapaizi balivwiya-vwiya abaalu baba Juda. Basala kuti babape cisinkamulomo basikalumamba kutegwa baalyatile makani akwaamba kuti: “Basikwiiya bakwe bakaboola masiku akumubba notwakali koona.”—Matayo 28:4, 11, 13.

Basikalumamba bana Roma balakonzya kujaigwa ikuti bajanwa kuti baloona nobalinda, aboobo bapaizi babasyomezya kuti: “Ikuti naa eeci [nkokuti, makani aakubeja aakuti bali koona] akacimvwe mweendelezi tuyoomupandulwida makani mbwaabede, aboobo nywebo tamweelede kulibilika.” (Matayo 28:14) Basikalumamba batambula cisinkamulomo akucita mbuli mbobaamba bapaizi. Aboobo makani aakubeja aakuti mubili wa Jesu wakabbigwa amwaika koonse-koonse akati kaba Juda.

Mariya Magadalene ucilila kucuumbwe. Naasondela kuti alange mukati mucuumbwe, wabona bangelo bobilo basamide zisani zituba bu! Omwe ukkede kumutwe, umbi kumaulu aawo mpowalede mubili wa Jesu. Babuzya kuti: “Omukaintu, ino ulila nzi?” Mariya waingula kuti: “Bamugusya Mwami wangu, pele tandizyi nkobamuzikkila.” Naacenguluka, Mariya wabona muntu umwi. Muntu ooyo wainduluka mubuzyo wabangelo akuyungizya kuti: “Nguni ngoyandaula?” Lino Mariya kayeeya kuti muntu ooyo mubelesi wamumuunda, wati: “Ikuti naa waubweza mubili wakwe, kondaambila nkowauzikka, nkaubweze.”—Johane 20:13-15.

Mubwini, Mariya waambaula a Jesu iwabusyigwa, pele aciindi eeci tanaamuzyiba pe. Nokuba boobo, muntu ooyo naamba kuti “Mariya!” wamuzyiba kuti ngu Jesu, wamuzyibila kujwi lyakwe kweelana ambwavwula kwaambaula anguwe. Cakukkomana Mariya wati: “Rabboni!” (nkokuti “Mwiiyi!”). Pele, akaambo kakuyoowa kuti ulaafwaafwi kuunka kujulu, Mariya wamujatilila Jesu. Aboobo, Jesu wamwaambila kuti: “Koleka kundijatilila, nkaambo tandinaunka kujulu kuli Taata. Pele koya kubakwesu ukabaambile kuti, ‘Ndilaunka kujulu kuli Taata alimwi a Bauso, kuli Leza wangu a Leza wanu.’”—Johane 20:16, 17.

Mariya walunduka akuya kubusena ooko baapostolo alimwi abasikwiiya bambi nkobabungene. Wabaambila kuti: “Ndamubona Mwami!” nkokuti awalo wacitila bumboni kumakani ngobamvwa kuli bamakaintu aabo bambi. (Johane 20:18) Nokuba boobo, milumbe eeyi ‘yalibonya kuba yabufwubafwuba kulimbabo.’—Luka 24:11.
