Baibulo jikusagamba kusala ya yisangalalo yakusangalalila masiku gakupagwa yayatendekwe ni ŵandu ŵanganalambilaga Yehofa.

Lyeleli ni ligongo lyakwe Aklistu ŵakala “ŵayiwonaga kuti kusangalalila lisiku lyakupagwa kwa mundu jwalijose kwaliji ndamo ja ŵandu ŵachikusa.” Jasasile yeleyi buku ja The World Book Encyclopedia.

Yehofa ni juŵatandisye liŵasa, soni jwalakwe akusasakaga kuti tuŵeje paunasi wambone ni ŵamwiŵasa mwetu.

Kapena mpaka ajile kuti, “Ngumanyilila kuti ŵangasangalalilaga chisangalalo, nambope ngusaka kuti nape mtuka awu.” Muyakutendekwa yeleyi, mpaka asagule kupochela mtukawo kapena kana.
