² Yesu yali ayagala nnyo Maliza olw’okuba yalina omwoyo ogw’okusembeza abagenyi, yali mukozi nnyo, era yali yettanira nnyo ebintu eby’omwoyo. Maliza yali akkiririza mu ebyo Yesu bye yayigirizanga. Era yali akkiriza nti Yesu ye yali Masiya eyasuubizibwa. (Yok. 11:21-27) Kyokka, Maliza yali muntu atatuukiridde, nga naffe bwe tuli abatatuukiridde. Lumu Yesu bwe yali akyadde mu maka gaabwe, Maliza yagamba Yesu okubaako ky’akolawo okutereeza embeera ye gye yali alowooza nti yali yeetaaga okutereezebwa. Yagamba Yesu nti: “Mukama wange, tofaayo ng’olaba muganda wange andese okukola ebintu bino byonna nzekka? Mugambe ajje annyambeko.” (Soma Lukka 10:38-42.) Ebyo bye tusoma mu nnyiriri ezo bituyigiriza ki?

⁴ Kyokka, Maliza yasalawo okwemalira ku kuteekateeka eby’okulya ebingi ng’ayagala okusanyusa Yesu. Naye emirimu gyamuyitirirako n’atuuka n’okunyiigira muganda we Maliyamu. Yesu bwe yakiraba nti Maliza yali akola ebintu bingi, yamugamba nti: “Maliza, Maliza, weeraliikirira era otawaana olw’ebintu ebingi.” Era yamugamba nti ebintu bitono bye byali byetaagisa. Oluvannyuma Yesu yasiima Maliyamu olw’okuleka ebirala byonna n’asalawo okumuwuliriza. Yagamba nti: “Maliyamu ye alonze ekisinga obulungi era tekijja kumuggibwako.” Maliyamu yali asobola okwerabira ebintu bye yalya ku olwo nga Yesu abakyalidde, naye yali tasobola kwerabira bigambo Yesu bye yayogera ng’amusiima n’ebyo bye yayigiriza ku olwo. Nga wayise emyaka egisukka mu 60, omutume Yokaana yawandiika nti: “Yesu yali ayagala nnyo Maliza ne muganda we.” (Yok. 11:5) Ekyo kiraga nti Maliza yakolera ku kuwabula Yesu kwe yamuwa era n’afuba okuweereza Yakuwa n’obwesigwa obulamu bwe bwonna.
