Okutya Okugwa mu Nkomerero

OKUTYA OKUGWA MU NKOMERERO

ENTIISA ENZIKIIVU ejjudde mu birowoozo by'abantu bangi abajja eri Kristo; batya nti tebaligumira okutuuka ku nkomerero. Nnawulidde omunoonyi ng'agamba nti: “Singa nsuula emmeeme yange ku Yesu, kyokka oboolyawo oluvannyuma nnandidda ennyuma ne nzikirira. Nnabanga n'enneewulira ennungi mu biro eby'edda, naye ne ziggwaawo. Obulungi bwange bwabanga ng'ekire eky'oku makya, era ng'omusulo ogugenda mangu. Bwajjanga mangu ago, ne bumala akaseera, ne bulagaanyisa ebingi, ne buluba ne buggwaawo.”

Nzikiriza nti okutya kuno emirundi mingi kwe kuzaala ekintu kyennyini; era nti abamu abaatidde okwesiga Kristo okumala ebiro byonna, n'okutuusa emirembe n'emirembe, baalemererwa kubanga baalina okukkiriza okw'akaseera obuseera, okutaatuuka wala okumala okubalokola. Baatandika nga bakkiriza Yesu mu kigero, naye nga beetunuulira bo bennyini olw'okusigalawo n'okugumiikiriza mu kkubo eridda mu ggulu; bwe batyo ne batandika obubi, era, ng'ekivaamu eky'obutonde, ne bakyuka ne badda ennyuma nga tewannaba kuyita bbanga. Bwe twesiga ffe bennyini olw'okunywerera, tetulinywerera. Ne bwe tuwummulira mu Yesu olw'ekitundu ky'obulokozi bwaffe, tulyaalemererwa singa twesiga ffe bennyini olwa kintu kyonna. Tewali lujegere oluli n'amaanyi okusinga akatundu kaalwo akasinga obunafu: singa Yesu abeera essuubi lyaffe mu buli kintu, okuggyako ekintu kimu, tuliggwaawo ddala, kubanga mu nsonga eyo emu tetuliiraamu kantu. Sirina kubuusabuusa n'akatono nti obukyamu ku nsonga y'okugumiikiriza kw'abatukuvu buziyizza okugumiikiriza kw'abangi abaddukanga obulungi. Kiki ekyabaziyiza obutasigala nga badduka? Beesiga bo bennyini olw'okudduka okwo, bwe batyo ne bayimirira nga tebannaatuuka. Weegendereze okutabulamu wadde akatono ak'obwenkyo mu bbumba ly'ozimbisa, oleme okulifuula ebbumba eritanywera, amayinja ne gatanywerera wamu. Bw'otunuulira Kristo olw'entandikwa yo, weegendereze okwetunuulira ggwe wennyini olw'enkomerero yo. Ye ye Alufa. Kakasa nti omufuula ne Omeega. Bw'otandika mu Mwoyo, tosaanidde kusuubira kutuukirizibwa omubiri. Tandika nga bw'oyagala okugenda mu maaso, era genda mu maaso nga bwe watandika, era leka Mukama abeere byonna mu byonna gy'oli. Ayi, singa Katonda, Omwoyo Omutukuvu, atuwa okutegeera okutangaavu ennyo eky'ekifo amaanyi ge galiva, ge tuliwonyezebwa okutuusa ku lunaku olw'okulabika kwa Mukama waffe!

Bino Pawulo bye yali agambye lumu ku nsonga eno bwe yali awandiikira Abakkolinso:

Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, era alibanyweza okutuusa ku nkomerero, mulyoke mube abateevunaanibwa ku lunaku lwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo. Katonda mwesigwa, gwe mwayitibwa okuba abassa ekimu n'Omwana we Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe (1 Abakkolinso 1:8, 9).

Ebigambo bino mu kasirise byatula obwetaavu obunene, nga bitumanyisa engeri gye bujjuzibwamu. Buli Mukama gy'ateekawo ekyetaago, tulina obukakafu nti waaliwo obwetaavu bwakyo, kubanga tewali bintu bya bwereere ebizitoowerera endagaano ey'ekisa. Engabo eza zaabu zaawanikibwa mu mpya za Sulemaani ezitakozesebwanga, naye tewali eziri bwe zityo mu tterekero ly'ebyokulwanyisa bya Katonda. Katonda ky'ateekateeka, mazima ddala tulikyetaaga. Wakati w'essaawa eno n'enkomerero y'ebintu byonna, buli kisuubizo kya Katonda na buli kyetaago ky'endagaano ey'ekisa biryetaagisibwa. Obwetaavu obw'amangu obw'emmeeme ekkiriza kwe kunywezebwa, okusigalawo, okugumiikiriza okw'enkomerero, n'okukuumibwa okutuuka ku nkomerero. Kino kye kyetaago ekikulu eky'abakkiriza abaakulaakulana ennyo, kubanga Pawulo yali awandiikira abatukuvu e Kkolinso, abaali abasajja ab'ekitiibwa ekingi, be yayinza okwogerako nti, “Nneebaza Katonda wange bulijjo ku lwammwe, olw'ekisa kya Katonda ekyabaweebwa mu Yesu Kristo.” Abasajja ng'abo be bantu abasinga okuwulira mu bukakafu nti balina obwetaavu obwa buli lunaku obw'ekisa ekiggya bwe baba ab'okunywerera, ne bagumira, ne bavaayo nga bawanguzi ku nkomerero. Singa temwali batukuvu temwandibadde na kisa, era temwandiwulidde bwetaavu bwa kisa kirala; naye olw'okuba nti muli basajja ba Katonda, kyekiva kibaleetera okuwulira ebyetaago bya buli lunaku eby'obulamu obw'omwoyo. Ekifaananyi eky'amayinja tekyetaaga mmere; naye omuntu omulamu alumwa enjala n'ennyonta, era asanyuka kubanga emmere ye n'amazzi ge biba binywezeddwa gy'ali, kubanga singa si ekyo mazima ddala yandizirika mu kkubo. Ebyetaago by'omukkiriza eby'obuntu bimwesigamyaza obutalema okusena buli lunaku okuva ku nsulo ennene ey'ebigabirwa byonna; kubanga yandikoze ki singa yali tasobola kuddukira eri Katonda we?

Kino kya mazima ku batukuvu abalina ebirabo ebisinga obungi—ku basajja abo ab'e Kkolinso abaagaggawazibwa mu kwogera kwonna ne mu kumanya kwonna. Baali beetaaga okunywezebwa okutuuka ku nkomerero, kubanga singa si ekyo, ebirabo byabwe n'ebyo bye baatuukako byandifuuse okuzikirira kwabwe. Singa twali n'ennimi z'abantu n'eza bamalayika, singa tetufuna kisa kiggya, twandibadde wa? Singa twali n'obumanyirivu bwonna okutuusa lwe twandibadde bakadde mu Kkanisa—singa twali tuyigirizibwa Katonda ne tutegeera ebyama byonna—naye era tetwandisobodde kubeera balamu lunaku na lumu awatali bulamu obwa Katonda obutuyingiramu okuva ku Mutwe gwaffe ogw'Endagaano. Twandisuubidde tutya okunywerera essaawa n'emu, so si kwogera ku bulamu bwaffe bwonna, singa Mukama teyatunywezizza? Oyo eyatandika omulimu omulungi mu ffe ateekwa okugutuukiriza okutuusa ku lunaku lwa Kristo, kubanga si ekyo, guliba obulemererwa obw'obulumi.

Ekyetaago kino ekikulu kiva nnyo mu ffe bennyini. Mu bamu mulimu okutya okw'obulumi nti tebaligumira mu kisa kubanga bamanyi obuteesigika bwabwe. Abantu abamu mu buzaaliranwa bwabwe tebanywera. Abasajja abamu mu buzaaliranwa banywerera ku ebyo bye baba nabyo, si kwogera nti bakakanyavu; naye abalala mu buzaaliranwa bakyukakyuka era tebanywera. Ng'obutakuli, babuuka okuva ku kimuli okudda ku kimuli, okutuusa lwe bakyalira obulungi bwonna obw'ennimiro, naye ne batabeerako na ku kimu ku byo. Tebamalako bbanga ggwanvu mu kifo kimu okukola ekirungi kyonna; wadde mu bizinensi zaabwe wadde mu kunoonya kwabwe okw'amagezi. Abantu ng'abo bayinza okutya nti emyaka kkumi, abiri, asatu, ana, oboolyawo ataano egy'okwekuuma okutasalako mu by'eddiini biriba bingi nnyo gye bali. Tulaba abasajja nga basooka okwegatta ku kkanisa emu ne bagenda ku ndala, okutuusa lwe baba batambudde enjuyi zonna. Baba buli kintu mu mpalo naye tebeeyongera mu kintu kyonna. Abo balina obwetaavu obw'emirundi ebiri obw'okusaba balyoke banywezebwe Katonda, era bafuulibwe si banywevu bokka wabula n'abataseseetuka, kubanga si ekyo, tebalisangibwa nga “bulijjo beeyongera mu mulimu gwa Mukama.”

Ffenna, ne bwe tuba tetulina kukemebwa kwa buzaaliranwa eri obuteesigika, tuteekwa okuwulira obunafu bwaffe bwe tuba nga ddala tuzzeemu obulamu Katonda. Ggwe omusomi omwagalwa, tozuula bimala mu lunaku lwonna olumu okukwesittaza? Ggwe ayagala okutambulira mu butukuvu obutuukiridde, nga bwe nkusuubira; ggwe eyeeteekeddewo omutindo ogwa waggulu ogw'ekyo Omukristaayo ky'asaanidde okuba—tozuula nti nga tebannaggyawo bintu bya kyenkya ku mmeeza, oba omaze okwoleka obusirusiru obumala okukukwasa ensonyi? Singa twekugira mu kasenge akoolekwa ak'omuntu eyeeyawula, okukemebwa kwandutugoberedde; kubanga ekiseera kyonna nga tetusobola kudduka ffe bennyini, tetusobola kudduka bikubiriza eby'ekibi. Waliwo ekiri munda mu mitima gyaffe ekyandituleese okwekuuma n'okwetoowaza mu maaso ga Katonda. Bw'atatunyweza, tuli banafu nnyo ne kituleetera okwesittala n'okugwa; nga tetuvuunikiddwa mulabe, wabula obutafaayo bwaffe ffe bennyini. Mukama, beera amaanyi gaffe. Ffe tuli bunafu bwennyini.

Ng'oggyeeko ekyo, waliwo okukoowa okuva mu bulamu obuwanvu. Bwe tutandika okwatula kwaffe okw'Ekikristaayo tubuuka n'ebiwaawaatiro ng'empungu, mu maaso tudduka awatali kukoowa; naye mu nnaku zaffe ennungi era ez'amazima tutambula awatali kuzirika. Entambula yaffe erabika ng'eyongobera, naye ya mugaso okusinga era enywerera bulungi. Nsaba Katonda nti amaanyi ag'obuvubuka bwaffe geeyongere okubeera naffe okumala nga bwe gaba amaanyi ag'Omwoyo so si okuzimba obuzimba okw'omubiri ogw'amalala kwokka. Oyo amaze ebbanga ddene mu kkubo eridda mu Ggulu azuula nti waaliwo ensonga ennungi lwaki kyasuubizibwa nti engatto ze zandibadde za kyuma na kikomo, kubanga ekkubo lya kaboyoboyo. Azudde nti waliwo Ensozi ez'Obuzibu n'Ebiwonvu eby'Okutoowazibwa; nti waliwo Ekiwonvu eky'Ekisiikirize eky'Okufa, era, ekisingako obubi, Vanity Fair—era bino byonna biteekwa okuyitibwamu. Bwe wabaawo Ensozi ez'Essanyu (era, Katonda yeebazibwe, ziriwo,) waliwo n'Ebigo eby'Okuggwaamu Essuubi, munda mwabyo abatambuze gye baalabako emirundi mingi ennyo. Bwe tulowooza ku bintu byonna, abo abanywerera okutuuka ku nkomerero mu kkubo ery'obutukuvu baliba “abasajja abeewuunyizibwa.”

“Ayi ensi ey'eby'ekitalo, siyinza kugamba kitono okusinga ekyo.” Ennaku ez'obulamu bw'Omukristaayo ziri ng'amayinja ga Koh-i-noor amangi ag'okusaasira agasibiddwa ku muguwa ogwa zaabu ogw'obwesigwa bwa Katonda. Mu Ggulu tuligamba bamalayika, n'abafuzi, n'amaanyi, obugagga bwa Kristo obutanoonyezeka obwakozesebwa ku ffe, ne tubwenyumiririzaamu nga tukyali wano wansi. Tukuumiddwa nga tuli balamu ku mabbali g'okufa. Obulamu bwaffe obw'omwoyo bubadde lulimi lw'omuliro oluyaka wakati mu nnyanja, ejjinja erisigadde nga liwanikiddwa mu bbanga. Kiryewuunyisa obutonde bwonna okutulaba nga tuyingira omulyango ogw'amayinja ag'omuwendo, nga tetuvunaanibwa ku lunaku lwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo. Tusaanidde okujjula okwewuunya okw'okwebaza singa tukuumibwa essaawa emu; era nsuubira nti tuli bwe tutyo.

Singa kino kye kyokka, waaliwo ensonga zimala ez'okweraliikirira; naye waliwo n'ebirala bingi nnyo. Tuteekwa okulowooza ku kika ky'ekifo mwe tubeera. Ensi ddungu eriwuluguma eri bangi ku bantu ba Katonda. Abamu ku ffe bakwatibwako nnyo mu bulabirizi bwa Katonda, naye abalala balina okulwana okukakali. Tutandika olunaku lwaffe n'okusaba, era emirundi mingi tuwulira eddoboozi ery'oluyimba olutukuvu mu mayumba gaffe; naye abantu abalungi bangi tebannaba na kugolokoka ku maviivi gaabwe ku makya nga bamaze okulamusibwa n'okuvvoola. Bagenda ku mulimu, era olunaku lwonna banyiizibwa emboozi enkyafu nga Lutti omutuukirivu mu Sodomu. Oyinza n'okutambula mu nguudo ez'olwatu awatali matu go okubonaabonesebwa olulimi olwonoono? Ensi si mukwano gw'ekisa. Ekisinga obulungi kye tuyinza okukola n'ensi eno kwe kugiyitamu mangu nga bwe tusobola, kubanga tubeera mu nsi y'omulabe. Omunyazi yeekweka mu buli kisaka. Buli wantu tulina okutambula n'“ekitala ekisowole” mu ngalo zaffe, oba wadde ekyokulwanyisa ekiyitibwa okusaba-kwonna nga bulijjo kiri ku lubaawo lwaffe; kubanga tuteekwa okulwanira buli kitundu ky'ekkubo lyaffe. Tokola nsobi ku kino, kubanga si ekyo olisuukundibwa n'obukambwe okuva mu kulimbibwa kwo okw'okwagala. Ayi Katonda, tuyambe, era otunyweze okutuuka ku nkomerero, kubanga si ekyo tuliba wa?

Eddiini ey'amazima ya kyamagero ku ntandikwa yaayo, ya kyamagero mu kusigala kwayo, era ya kyamagero mu nkomerero yaayo. Gwe mulimu gwa Katonda okuva ku ntandikwa okutuuka ku nkomerero. Waliwo obwetaavu obunene nti omukono gwa Mukama gugulumizibwe nga gukyagoloddwa: obwetaavu obwo omusomi wange abuwulira kaakano, era nsanyuka nti abuwulira; kubanga kaakano anoonya okukuumibwa kwe eri Mukama, oyo yekka asobola okututangira okugwa, n'okutugulumiza wamu n'Omwana we.
