Pali Yeremia 31:15, Baibolo itila: “Yehova atile, ‘Mu Rama muleumfwika ishiwi, ukuloosha no kulila ukukalamba; ni Rakele alelila abana bakwe. Nakaana ukumusansamusha pa bana bakwe, pantu nabafwa.’”

Lelo te mulandu na muntu aya mashiwi yalola, ifyo Yeremia alandile pali Rakele uwaleloosha abana baume bakwe fyalesobela ifyali no kucitika imyaka iingi sana ilyo balefwaya ukwipaya Yesu ninshi aali fye akanya. Imfumu Herode yafumishe icipope ca kuti bepaye abana abaume bonse abaali ne myaka ibili nelyo ukucepako aba mu Betelehemu iyabelele ku kapinda ka ku kulyo aka Yerusalemu. Kanshi abana bonse abakwete iyi myaka balibepeye. Elenganyeni ifyo banyina ba bana abo abaipeye baali no bulanda icine cine! Cali kwati icongo ca kuloosha kwabo calefika kutali sana ku Rama, ku kapinda ka ku kuso aka Yerusalemu.—Mat. 2:16-18.

Kanshi kuti twatila mu nshita ya kwa Yeremia na mu nshita ya kwa Yesu, amashiwi ya kuti Rakele aleloosha abana bakwe abaume yalelondolola ubulanda ubwakwete abanakashi abaYuda abaleloosha abana babo abo baipeye ku balwani. Lelo nangu cibe fyo, bonse abafwa kabili ababa mu “calo ca mulwani,” imfwa, bakalubulwa kuli uyu mulwani ilyo bakabuuka.—Yer. 31:16; 1 Kor. 15:26.
